What makes you say it is unstable?

If there is anything, please report it and we'll get it fixed.

Edit: Re grandparent: Will try to add "dark mode" to docs, in meanwhile, check out the docs on plain-text GitHub wiki ( https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/Graph-Guide ) which is where everything pull from anyways.
My mistake I think I’m confusing them with another provider. Maybe OVH?
It's not an editor, but ProseMirror is something that I'd recommend checking out if you wanted to build a web-based WYSIWYG markdown editor with possibly extended features. There's also Notion.so. Both of these aren't explicitly markdown, but if you keep the representation simple and flat you can always export it as such. I came across both of these editors when I saw a friend with a Chrome extension (Papier) which replaced new tabs with a markdown-esque page, but it didn't support inline math. Marktext, as mentioned in other comments, is open-source but I found it hard to just take the editor Muya and attach that onto a webpage.
I'm also a developer, and if you're not mobile-first let alone mobile friendly, you're doing it wrong in 2019. Why do I want to pan and scroll around a tiny site rendered in desktop mode on my mobile for your brand new product?

It's either lazy or ignorant and neither gives me confidence in their software.
This is exactly the point.

I tend to avoid Kroger brands because I do not like that most of their sale prices are dictated by having a Kroger Card. I'm not particularly price conscientious and find Kroger has a great selection and quality. I simply choose elsewhere when I can.
So given the conversations on record and quoted in the article about certain treasurers deliberately doing the least effective actions and anticipating the "legal" right to claim a property, you're still going to claim that the system is a net positive?

I'll bet you make weekly non-trivial transactions in every financial account you don't want seized - "well, you obviously weren't actively using these funds, so they've been collected and the county will make better use of them."

The title is missing important punctuation (a period after $8.41) that is in the original article; this makes it difficult to parse in a single pass.

> Even before minimum wages, Germany has very high sector-level minimum wage due to union tarrifs that are binding for non-union employees.

True! Those were for the "high-paying" low wage jobs, though - mostly in construction. Gastronomy, hotel industry, haircutters etc. didn't have those. Wage laws in construction mosty were already at more than 9€/h before country-wide minimum wages were implemented.

I can't really agree on that being the reason for no observed loss of jobs though - there are too many other examples of successful minimum wage laws in other regions where the feared job losses failed to materialize, too [1].

>> the lower 60% of the population only hold 3% of the wealth.

> Germany has state pensions that you can live on comfortably, and renter-friendly housing laws. So people don't need to own a house as a retirement plan (unlike much of the rest of the world).

Yes, my angle was a bit different, though: As middle class and upper class earn more, they can afford to save more. Saving, though, does mean that the money saved doesn't take part in the economy anymore (or at least to a lesser degree).

If a low-wage person gets lets say 100€ more per month, that money will get spent almost completely at places like groceries, haircutters etc. - places that also have relatively low wages, which means those people will also spend the money completely and so on. A rise in minimum wages gets you the most bang for the buck, if your goal is stimulation of domestic demand.

This may just be conjecture but it's always seemed like they are solving the wrong problem. Why aren't they looking for alternatives to parachutes which to me seem like an archaic way of doing things. In saying that, the number of different maneuvers required in landing the space shuttle definitely shows how hard this problem is.

I used to run a service solo that processed data from multiple external sources and as you said you need to program defensively when dealing with input.

I handled it with a pipeline that did the following, 1. validation, 2. transform data if needed, 3. load the data. If validation failed, the data would get "quarantined" and I would get an email notification, or slack notification if urgent.

I don't generally write a lot of unit tests, but all my validation and transformation logic would have 100% coverage because things always change and you need to make sure future updates never break the system

It seems there are only ever allegations, the anonymous person gets what they want (a person fired, a career ruined, and in this case, 50+ people lose their job), and we move on without actually finding out the truth. Even if the truth is that it never happened, many people don't care and are still steadfast in their beliefs.

>If your best answer is "We are adding diversity to the marketplace", then you're probably doomed. If you aren't better in some way (faster, cheaper, better tech, etc...)

We have seen it over and over in tech though...some small time founder starts something and then a VC back startup eats their lunch and takes the market (of course rewriting history along the way to say they invented/disrupted the market).

The sad truth is the answer to why a customer will choose us over established competitor is because...VC capital/your money. We will use VC capital/your money to out spend/out market our competitor because they can only grow as fast as their revenue, whereas we can artificially grow using your VC money, even to the point we can subsidize the price of our widget which the established competitor can't, we will grow our market share, even if at a loss because at any time we can "flip the switch and its all profit."

I didn't mean to say immutabilty and no-side-effects are advertised less. It's just not enough of them are effective.

Those concepts helped me avoid a lot of headaches without knowing that those are concepts of FP. Then there was a day where I just realized, "Oh, this is FP"

I guess people need to be educated, or experience themselves, the concepts, before hearing the word "FP" which mean less to them.

The examples provided in the internet needs to be more ambituous than mere chains of functions. They need to be "remaking rsync with minimum IFs" or "large scale React App without a single getDerivedState"
I was referring to Prop 13, rent control laws, federal tax breaks given to homeowners, and the numerous subsidized home loan products provided by Fannie, Freddie, the Federal Housing Administration, and the Veterans Administration. All of these were intended to make housing more affordable, but ended up jacking up asset prices to extreme levels.

I agree with you that zoning was never intended to make housing more affordable, but it's not the only policy in play.

One is that people arguing about politics in political discussion forums are using the forum for its intended purpose whereas spammers are abusing it (in fact, stealing from it, since it makes its money through advertising). I’ve yet to see anybody oppose removing political discussions on forums about woodworking - that’s not what it’s for.

All benchmarks are chosen to show precisely what the person presenting the benchmark wants them to, no more, no less. If the benchmark didn't tell a story that they want to show you, they wouldn't be showing it to you (or they'd be showing you a different benchmark).

This doesn't make them wrong, but benchmarks are never the full story.

I think the differentiation factor is relevant to venture capitalists more than end users. Having an equity stake in a new business is a risky proposition. A unique market position, or perhaps an idea that is patentable, provides the prospect of risk mitigation - the idea itself may be able to be liquidated if the business fails. There's also the upside of being the only player in a given market.

Reminds me of this guy:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Hof

"He has set Guinness world records for swimming under ice and prolonged full-body contact with ice, and still holds the record for a barefoot half-marathon on ice and snow. He attributes these feats to his Wim Hof Method (WHM), a combination of frequent cold exposure, breathing techniques and meditation."

"In 2007 Hof climbed to an altitude of 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) on Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts and shoes, but failed to reach the summit due to a recurring foot injury. In February 2009, Hof reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro within two days wearing only shorts and shoes. In September, he ran a full marathon in the Namib Desert without water, under the supervision of Dr. Thijs Eijsvogels."

He can also regulate his immune system:

"They injected an endotoxin that stimulated the response. Most subjects respond with flu-like symptoms (fever, headaches and shivering), and affected cells release signalling proteins called cytokines. Hof had no flu-like symptoms and half as many cytokines as control subjects. Moreover, after he had trained some volunteers for a week, they too had reduced symptoms."
This is actually refreshingly exciting, coming from the usual "interstellar travel is slow and depressingly hard, space elevators are iffy at best, we probably aren't smart enough to build programmable nanotech" we get from most news updates on future tech.

Are suitcase-sized fusion reactors still on the table, or does this just mean smaller-than-a-football-stadium fusactors are probably possible?
If nuclear fusion can be >= lucrative than nuclear fission is an open scientific question.

Indeed all solar panels on earth are just capturing byproducts of a fusion reactor that is the sun.
But a fusion reactor at the scale of ITER is not proved to be lucrative even in an ideal world.
I would have hoped that modern physics would allow to predict with great accuracy how energy efficient would an ITER-like be in an ideal world where all enginering issues would be solved.
Maybe the proof exist and I'm just anaware of it.
Your main concern is of course limited time/resources, so you'll have to make compromises.

The question is not whether your system will fail, the question is when.

Have proper monitoring and alerting in place.

But don't over engineer it, sometimes everything seems technically fine, but your support inbox will start getting user complaints.

Resolve the issue, figure out the root cause, make sure this or similar stuff won't happen, apologise to the affected users if necessary, and move on.

You'll learn waaay more failure modes of your application running in the wild, than just thinking about "what could go wrong".

It's a long game of becoming a better developer/devops guy, and not repeating the same mistakes in the future.

I think that is precisely OP's point: on the long term, solar & friends are the only things that matter. If we get unlimited cheap power, we can only ever use it to generate an 'utterly miniscule' fraction of energy compared to what's available from solar because if you want to add a meaningful contribution to the energy content of the planet, you'll simply cook yourself, not from chemical global warming, but from thermodynamic waste heat.

Sounds like they fixed that post-crash..

Handling of Emergency Situations. ATG changed the way the ADS manages emergency
situations (as described in section 1.6.2) by no longer implementing action suppression. The
updated system does not suppress system response after detection of an emergency situation, even
when the resolution of such situation—prevention of the crash—exceeds the design specifications.
In such situations, the system allows braking even when such action would not prevent a crash;
emergency braking is engaged to mitigate the crash. ATG increased the jerk (the rate of
deceleration) limit to 20 m/s3

The most I have seen an HOA able to do is foreclose for extreme late payment. By then the bank is typically foreclosing so it's cheaper for the HOA to wait. Plus, the HOA doesn't want foreclosures in the neighborhood as it brings down property values. It's just easier to wait for the homeowner to sell on their own.

An eviction from a property where the HOA is not the owner (typical detached SFH) is not something I have seen. It also wouldn't make a lot of sense because 1 month of rent in my neighborhood would cover years of HOA dues. A shared condo environment is different because what is owned by the owner and the community is more intermingled.

Networking Tips from the Pros
SpaceX originally planned to develop a [propulsive landing system](https://youtu.be/Cf_-g3UWQ04?t=90), but this was dropped due to several reasons:

* The additional risks of a relatively untested system
* Starship development had begun, which would make Dragon obsolete

Propulsive landing of Dragon was therefore scrapped (and [Red Dragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Red_Dragon), a plan to send uncrewed Dragons to the surface of Mars, along with it.)
It takes ~3,000 m/s of dV to slow down, and do a powered landing on the Moon.

It takes takes ~6.400 m/s of dV to slow down, and do a powered landing on Mars.

Thanks to the tyranny of the rocket equation, it takes ~5x more fuel to do a powered landing on Mars, than it does on the Moon. For the entire mission. That's five Saturn V rockets, if you want to get a similar payload to Mars and back.

Shaving most of the dV requirements of the 'land on Mars' leg of the journey will reduce that requirement, from ~5x to ~2x.
Still not a valid reason for seizing an entire property, selling it, and pocketing the profit.

At least threaten the guy with fines if he does not fix things up.
Sandwich shops differentiate themselves from each other considerably though, so I'm not sure this is a good analogy.

Proposition 13 was advertised to protect the poor and elderly citizens, but its design does not target them. In particular, it benefits those who don’t need help: commercial landlords, rental landlords, and (after Proposition 58/193) feudal estates. And it harms those poor and elderly who are unable to purchase a house. In short, it is an entitlement that benefits homeowners, at the expense of renters and home-seekers. It takes some tautological reasoning to defend its poor design if the goal is protecting lower income households; see the Stevens dissent to Nordlinger v Hahn https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html

It's easy to write laws such that totally blocking automation is allowed, totally blocking human written content is 'censorship', and categorising/hiding by default/ranking content is allowed.

Yes, this doesn't deal with things like "is YouTube ranking biased" but it's a start. You posit that sites would be obliged to publish onslaughts, but many spam filters are pretty good at filtering such attacks. For instance that's where CAPTCHAs came from (there are better technical solutions than CAPTCHAs but you get the idea).

If you’re using AWS I want to assume you didn’t go for a cheaper solution (e.g. VPS from a reputable company) because you like the managed solutions that they provide, among other reasons.

I assume also you want a simple way to increase reliability while keeping costs within reasonable limits.

Well, AWS can give you all that if you don’t want to go super fancy. Check Beanstalk to get something simple and reliable. Monitor using CloudWatch. Make sure to leverage redundancy options (multi az, multi region if worth it, etc). These are some general tips but with the information that you provide that’s all I can say.

You can also pay a consultant to get a review of your setup and get some recommendations. It won’t be cheap but it depends how much you value your time and your product.

> In 2017, he complained to the US regulator, the FAA, that no action had been taken to address the problem. The FAA, however, said it could not substantiate that claim, because Boeing had indicated it was working on the issue at the time.

This is sounds very similar to what has been written in the past, that the FAA simply defers to Boeing on issues of safety. FAA had a lot more credibility back in 2017 than it does today. I hope the matter is investigated, because the FAA dropped the ball with the max and it and Boeing just don't have the credibility anymore to simply defer to Boeing's expertise.

The "Zero to One" wisdom is that lots of competition means low margins for the business. It's very difficult to afford much more than minimum wages for your sandwich shop employees. That's part of why you don't see a lot of venture-funded restaurants.
