1. You didn’t.

2. Asymptotic growth towards 100% certainly sounds unsustainable.

3. You mention Baumol’s cost disease and the proportion of income spent on services, which is not so bad.

4. Log-log overfitting is a well-known phenomenon and a low deviation (particularly at the edge of the graph) doesn’t make it go away.

5. This claim, tucked between historical spending and nurse salaries, underpins much of the thesis, but is curiously unsubstantiated:

>Nor do we tend to find results consistent with this in wages, profits, and other proxies for (or presumed causes of) such issues in these sectors. On the contrary, the reliable statistics for healthcare (at least) shows prices have fallen relative to average nominal income and that most of the increase is therefore explained by rising real consumption (quantities per capita).

Healthcare prices are kind of the whole point here. The lower third of this country can’t afford essential care. Not only that, but we’ve seen the prices, and they’re ridiculous.

So if you have data about healthcare prices not being out of order, that seems a lot more relevant— and less cherry-picked — than the history of household spending on food consumption.
Dioxins are generally the biggest emission concerns and they are prevented by higher temperature burns. Plastic is also likely higher in energy density which could potentially both make it more economical than a given baseline unsorted garbage depending and serve to keep the temperatures high. Although ironically not being /very hot/ when burning organic matter risks dioxin formation between about 200 and 600C.
Read somewhere that starving for a longer period of time, something like 14-16 hours, will lower your insulin levels and activate autophagy. So it's not just about calorie restriction.
The humany truth is that public bets, particularly long bets, are less about making profit and more about stating your view boldly and publicly. Within this context opportunity costs barely matter.

>The little bit of magic that makes your code sane is the "await" in front of "Promise.all()" and makes it more elegant than the callback version.

I'd actually say that it's the `Promise.all` that makes it sane, the await could be replaced by a `.then` and be functionally the same.

Actually it might be even easier to read to someone who doesn't live and breathe javascript as it will keep the program flowing top-to-bottom:

Promise.all([a(), b(), c()]).then(([a, b, c]) => {
// do stuff...
})

As with most things javascript, there are 9 different ways of doing it, and 3 of them will shoot you in the face...
A lot of the journals about positive effects on nicotine was sourced by tobacco companies in order to sell tobacco and has iffy science that hasn’t been reproduced.

The NYT coverage of the study is at https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/09/business/economy/innovati... .

Quoting the paywalled WSJ story:
"Just five metropolitan areas—Boston; San Diego; San Francisco; Seattle; and San Jose, Calif.—accounted for 90% of all U.S. high-tech job growth between 2005 to 2017, according to the research by think-tank scholars Mark Muro and Jacob Whiton of the Brookings Institution and Rob Atkinson of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation.

The nation’s 377 other metro areas accounted for 10% of the 256,063 jobs created during that period in 13 high-tech industries such as software publishing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and semiconductor production. Among the smaller cities that gained tech jobs were Madison, Wis.; Albany, N.Y.; Provo, Utah; and Pittsburgh."
There already us ammo with builtin microprocessors for adjusting trajectory etc. This coupled with some kind of guidance computer, communication with the gun sights etc would solve all kinds of problems.

Something that I've never found a satisfactory answer to when I've read about this method before has been the source for seed crystals. Where did the 'original' seed crystal come from in this process? I suppose once a new crystal with proper structure fabricated, you could use the newly created crystal as seed for further creations. Usually this was glanced over in my textbooks on silicon fab while in college.

We are going to see more of this.

In the past the young were teached to valued the life experience of the old, even if they disagree.

Today they are told that it's because of the old that they don't have a happy life (ok boomer...)

So for today's youth, the old are the enemy, because they vote conservative.

Today the way you vote is your identity. In the past a democrat and a republican could be friends or marry. This is impossible today.
> They know that a jury would likely ignore the instructions to focus on the exact law and find them guilty because, well, they probably did it.

Or, if they probably didn't do it (perhaps school nurse convinced the teenager she had been abused and the police officer led the kid into saying what would make up a charge) the accused would worry that the witch hunt attitude of most people (who have children) would not give them a fair shake.

My sister and my father had a strained relationship during her teenager years, and my mother tried to coach her through a criminal charge against him to help her divorce case. Thankfully, my sister eventually relented and recanted. But if it had gone to trial, my father would have not been fairly judged by a jury.

Someone, probably: People who don't know how their services work are doomed to spend lots of money on them.

From the GCS pricing page:

Network egress within Google Cloud applies when you move or copy data from one bucket in Cloud Storage to another or when another Google Cloud service accesses data in your bucket.

Within the same location (for example, US-EAST1 to US-EAST1 or EU to EU) -- Free

From the original tweet (not the linked reply):

For reference most of the fees are from transferring from NA to EU and ACAP

It's costing them assloads of money because they're moving data between regions. AWS works the same way. Azure is probably also the same but their pricing page is incomprehensible so who knows.

Lesson: if you're going to use data in a given location, you need to host data in the same location.
I would rephrase your statement "the problem with anecdotal evidence..." to "a common problem with anecdotal evidence...". As I see it, and increasingly see it, people are told that their anecdotal experience carries little value. I think that in reality an intelligent individual can extract huge swaths of truth from anecdotal evidence. The backlash against that kind of thinking is really a form of thought suppression and brainwashing. We are told that speaking in generalities, stereotypes, etc is dangerous and flawed. This type of thinking falls under, in some ways, a political effort to people stop from coming to their own conclusions about why people act the way they do. Its along the same line of forcing politically correct speech.

The caveat here is that real hard science needs real hard data, not anecdotal evidence.
For comparisons with PAR2, I had similar thoughts / concerns / notes, and note that the author of this has also factored PAR2 into their thinking:

> Parchive (PAR1, PAR2, MultiPar): well known error correction file generator. The big advantage of Parchives is that an ecc block depends on multiple files: this allows to completely reconstruct a missing file from scratch using files that are still available. Works good for most people, but most available Parchive generators are not satisfiable for me because 1- they do not allow to generate an ecc for a directory tree recursively (except MultiPar, and even if it is allowed in the PAR2 specs), 2- they can be very slow to generate (even with multiprocessor extensions, because the galois field is over 2^16 instead of 2^8, which is very costly), 3- the spec is not very resilient to errors and tampering over the ecc file, as it assumes the ecc file won’t be corrupted (I also tested, it’s still a bit resilient, but it could be a lot more with some tweaking of the spec), 4- it doesn’t allow for partial recovery (recovering blocks that we can and pass the others that are unrecoverable): with PAR2, a file can be restored fully or it cannot be at all.

Came here to comment on that example as well. I started panicking that someone might actually do that.
Exactly.

Back in the day I did consulting work on a personal level for an ultra-wealthy person. He was into making electronic music as a passion. This was in the days of 486/pentium, so the tools available to do this were relatively expensive. He'd create something and slip a couple of hundred to a club DJ to play it when he went out.

Anyway, he would use a floppy and throw it away. I realized he did this to save time. No need to format the disk and reuse, he would just pull another one out. He was buying time.

It infuriated a relative of mine when I told the story due to waste, but I explained to her those minutes he would spend formatting the disks wasn't spent. He came out ahead.

You don't have to keep any more track than you do with your OS; it's just a different button you hit when updating containers.

Or don't keep track at all: Just rebuild and redeploy often enough.
So, it scales well with multiple peers? Are all peers aware of each other or are you using some sort of hub and spoke topology?
I'm always surprised that urinals (especially so-called 'waterless' urinals) haven't taken off more in residential settings - they don't take a huge amount of space, can pay for themselves in terms of water costs relatively quickly if you have metered water and enough men/boys in the house and don't present any particular new issues in terms of dealing with waste.

For toilets, gray water systems (using waste bath/shower water to fill the toilet) equally achieves savings (at a cost of space) without people needing to do anything different.
Aside from experience, there's also the notion of a change in demeanor, to something more pragmatic and measured, that happens later in life.

I don't know if there's credible research that confirms it, but it seems true...of course with notable exceptions.
Thanks for sharing Nick, I will check it out.
Congratulations to her but it seems like age is seen as less of a factor in these countries. From an outside perspective, the Nordic countries have a very by the book form of government. Meaning the government/prime minister isn’t the result of the hopes and dreams of the constituents but more of how do we get things done with the least amount of turmoil. Kind of like how your local city government is run, where things seem more administrative and less political. Maybe that is the secret to their success.

> I personally tend to accumulate weight very easily if on a day I have very few high-calorie meals.

Are you saying that if, on a given day, you have a couple high calorie meals, then you are likely to accumulate significant weight by the time you step on the scale the next day?

As far as I understand, it's very unlikely you will see true body compositional changes from one day to another. If you see a jump on the scale, most likely it has to do with water retention and not any kind of real persistant weight gain.

The brand name for Kia motor cars in Israel are pronounced "ka-ya" rather than "ki-ya" (and promoted that way by the importer/distributor), because the latter sounds too close to the word used for "barf" and especially the way kids often say it.

The name of Microsoft's iPod competitor "Zune" is pronounced the same as the modern hebrew noun for "fuck"/"copulation", which is especially fitting given that you were able to "squirt" songs.

Yii2 PHP Framework and Why It’s Our Favorite
Agreed. For a long time I had thought the age requirement for being president in the US was kind of dumb - why don't we just get the right person for the job, no matter the age? But as I've grown older I realized what you have - it's extremely difficult to run anything, and I would prefer leaders that have been in extremely high, laborious, and difficult leadership positions before over those who are outlier-level young (such as Mrs. Marin). But then again I'm basing this judgement purely on age and not on many other factors so this is a very shallow analysis.

Is it really about life experiences or ability to connect with the people they are representing? Women are better at this as their maternal ability helps them connect with kids at a level which men simply fail to.

So a woman aged 35 much be better than a man aged 50 at this. It's not a suprise.

For long time, women have successfully run families. They served as unpaid, unacknowledged head of families and successful taken care of house expenses and kids.

> Additionally, fad diets tend to de-emphasize the importance of sports (as they oppose to the very traditional diet regime of "eating less and doing sports"), which cause an impact on the muscle mass.

That'a interesting, because I've read several places that exercise is almost antagonistic with respect to weight loss. Basically doing sport increases appetite, and it's really easy to eat more extra calories than you burned during a workout. On the other hand, diet alone can be very effective at managing weight.

What's weird to me is the value business puts on being physically present places.

It's great to have the opportunity and serendipity of being somewhere, but you can get that flying commercial, even moreso flying coach. That it's the person sitting in the place that makes a decision go in a particular direction, and not just reasoning it though and using communications tech seems odd. If you need something, you need it. I don't see what's so complicated.

What is that magic juice?

On the other hand, I'm also watching a deal get scuttled right now because of the lack of personal introduction and relationship between the negotiating parties (it's online, and you can just see the value physically evaporating for lack of trust and reciprocity).

But what's the difference? Is it just charisma?
