The overall experience is fantastic. It ends up being little edge-case things that have weird behavior.

For me; my Razer Nari wireless headphones just don't work. They're not bluetooth; they have their own low-latency USB receiver, and thus their own Razer-supplied drivers, which are not available on Linux. There's been some effort toward getting Razer products working better in Linux, but (last I ran Ubuntu, a few months ago) their headphones are not there yet.

You just have to try it out and see what works, see what doesn't. Chances are, it'll work fantastically for you.
> figuring out what crappy store brand stuff and whats not.

Don't they usually have only one store brand? Or maybe two, if there's a premium option? I don't think I've ever questioned which is the store brand. I know I've questioned which non-store brands are of dubious origin though (e.g., knockoffs)
Tip- check out Fastenal. They don't tend to have small retail packages, so you need to buy larger quantities, but it's really nice not to have to wait for shipping. They're an industrial supplier, but all the stores I've been in were perfectly happy to sell to the general public.
As long as the relative purchasing power of a dollar, compared only to other currencies, is managed, the Federal Reserve can purchase as much as it wants. When the Federal Reserve purchases things, each transaction creates new dollars (unless it had previously sold an asset for existing dollars and wanted to use those dollars instead).

The wide latitude in the side of the Fed's balance sheet comes from the weakness of other currencies. Central Banks around the world are doing the same thing - creating currency - weakening those currencies, simultaneously actual people are selling their currency for US dollars. This increases the strength of the US dollar, and means the Federal Reserve can create more dollars to weaken it, avoiding deflation. Currencies based on scarce commodities have deflationary economies as the economy grows, which hampers liquidity and investment, the US has had that before and moved away from it because it wanted liquidity and investment. So you can predict that it will avoid deflationary environments.

All fiat currencies are in the same boat, but the dollar is not in that boat in isolation. Coordinated central bank accounts allow this to continue into perpetuity. Ie. If the European Central bank diluted their currency by creating trillions of Euros, the Euro might trade down to parity with the US dollars (at time of writing the 1 Euro can be traded for 1.09 US Dollar), instead of that happening in isolation, the Federal Reserve can also create an offsetting amount of dollars, weakening the dollar enough to force the Euro to still trade for 1.09 us dollars, while both banks have accomplished their goal of adding liquidity to their economy.

So for massive monetary unions, it is much harder to "fail" or enter into a hyperinflationary environment.

But yes, if that a lot of the newly created currency was being used to buy gold, then the price of gold would be expected to go up. It is just a much harder environment for the narrative of it becoming a replacement for the dollar to be there. Other fiat currencies outside of large monetary unions might have utility in switching to a commodity again.

The drugs/treatment you mentioned where all developped thanks to public contributions, not purely private research.

HPV vaccines were first developed by the University of Queensland in Australia [1] and further improved by the the University of Queensland, Georgetown University Medical Center, University of Rochester, and the U.S. National Cancer Institute [1].

CRISPR was discovered by several researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT [2].

The public helped in the discovery of those treatments (through tax payer subsidies), and as such, in my view, are entitled to some kind of retribution. Having a form of universal healthcare, where the public can put pressure on companies to decrease the price of different treatment, is exactly that.

Regarding the velocity of innovation, I don't think it is hurt by a universal healthcare system. Everyone has access to those treatments, and so the profit on each instance of the treatment can be lowered while keeping the same total profit for the company manufacturing the pills.

What is the point to discover insuline if the price asked for a shot makes it impossible for some people to buy it ?

Even if some treatments, like drugs, can be made generic, and through that, have their price descrease in the futur, what about medical procedure ? Hip replacement won't suddenly or magically become cheaper in 5 years. Look at the price of stitches in the USA (For patients without health insurance, stitches typically cost $200-$3,000 or more, depending on the provider, the injury and the complexity of the repair [3]).

I do not propose to slash the profit of pharma companies. Like you said, academic studies consistently show that a reduction in current drug revenues leads to a fall in future research and the number of new drug discoveries [4]. Forbidding them one way or another to make a profit would be a net negative on the long term. But were our differences arise are in the implementtion of this principle. You propose, and correct me if I misunderstood, to let them set the price, and those how can will buy it. I propose to contain the cost so that all who need can afford it. The net result could be the same.

Price controls, like other types of controls, are a necessary evil in lots of case. It would be cheaper to allow companies to pollute everything and everyone, but we decided that society as a whole is better off with environmental controls. It would be cheaper to not test all those drugs and just let the market sort out which pills are working and which ones are dangerous, but we decided against it.

Although you will lose their indexing, M1 + some manual labor is a viable substitute.

What I would do is start by replicating the motifs you want to pay attention to as pies. Then, because ETFs holdings are for the most part transparent, you can crack open thematic ETFs and watch their allocations over time. For example, if you want to pay attention to the cyber security industry, CIBR, HACK, IHAK, and BUG give you four perspectives. Finally, you have Solactive. Search its indexes for what you want (they have 5 different cyber security indexes, heres one https://www.solactive.com/indices/?index=DE000SLA1C18.)

Some other easy targets.

Defense - UFO, PPA, ITA, XAR

Payment Processing - ARKF, FINX, GFIN, LEND, IPAY, TPAY

Gaming - NERD, ESPO, HERO, GAMR

Earth & Green Energy - ACES, EVX, GRID, ICLN

Blockchain of course - BLOK, BLCN, LEGR, KOIN, BKC, BCNA, BKCH

Airtravel - JETS https://screener.fidelity.com/ftgw/etf/goto/snapshot/portfol...

It doesnt take long to dump each etfs holdings into an excel spreadsheet, average out their holdings, and then figure out how much of each stock within it you want. Watching the allocations drift and get corrected over time would be similar to what value motif was giving, albeit they may have had a more intelligent stock picking team than some of these etfs, or these may be market cap weighted in a couple cases.

Rust macros are their own little thing, they help reduce code repeatability by writing code in your place.

You don't need them to write rust applications, but they could, for example, help writing tests on 3 different backends without having to write 3 times the same testing function.

In this situation, it's different from having a type parameter, because macros won't make you change the function definition. They will just "copy and paste" the code block for you.

It's true on paper, but the Fed is run by government appointed people for the benefit of the public. The private banks are required to pay some money to get a 'share' of the Fed, and they get yearly interest, but the total amount they get isn't particularly big so it's not something to worry about.

EDIT: The profit from the Fed's assets (after the small interest payments to the private banks) all goes to the government.
I don't think these measures were ever intended to be in effect in perpetuity. They're widely understood to be a stop-gap. It seems like a good strategy to me because it appears to be working.

that never happens, unless there's a regulation in place that prevents new sellers to get into the market as quickly as they can. When a price for the product begins to rise, it attracts new sellers, as now there's a wider price range to position your competing product.

First things first, I think companies should be up-front with their customers. That means not marketing non-AI solutions as AI. However, lots of companies do not sell AI, they sell a service. And as long as that service is good, it should not matter to the customers if part of that process is manual, as long as you do not lie about it.

Awesome! Thanks for finding that. So they do give up the extra specificity from the reverse primer by having it be a constant region in the barcode, I guess having a sanger step makes up for that a bit though since you can read what it ligated to past the barcode and see if it's a SARS-COV-2 fragment, but that does slow down getting the results.

You say it as if that was a bad thing. More competition is good for the consumer, bad for the oligopolists.
It is not illegal to have a monopoly; but it is illegal to use a monopoly you have in one area to get an unfair advantage in another.

Amazon may or may not legally be a retail monopoly - I do not know the answer. But your question can be rephrased for any monopoly and the answer would be “monopolies should be punished for leveraging their monopoly power in other markets, because that ruins the market for everyone else.”

Free markets and democracies are good at a lot of things, but self preservation is not one of them - therefore you need anti-freedom laws.

I disagree. In order for a hospitalization to count, they have to have a positive test. First, we have to factor in test inaccuracy and then the fact that doctors are still triaging tests even if a patient has symptoms. These numbers can't be considered accurate until we have enough tests to test everyone in the waiting room indiscriminately.
I will also mention: I would imagine it's much harder for a driver without a seatbelt to continue maneuvers (and trying to avoid hitting people/things) when they are not properly secured and getting bounced around.
Yes. The next recession will just be worse since Fed cannot lower rates any more and if they signal any sign of pulling back on propping up corporate bonds or mortgages those markets will just crash.
> The only data that is somewhat reliable in this pandemic is COVID deaths.

I agree,, especially as you included the word “somewhat”. We have pretty good numbers on people who died in hospitals, but people who died at home appear to be seriously under counted.

Additionally, consequential deaths are currently invisible. These are people who died, say, ecause the coronavirus crowded out their access to hospitals. There’s been a drop in ER visits for things like heart conditions. Some of those people would have recovered fine anyway but some may have arterial blockage that will kill them. You don’t Want these numbers in the primary statistics (as they say nothing about control of the pandemic) but you do want these very hard to track numbers to understating future capacity planning, ethical procedures, and long term economic consequences.

It depends. If you are Lebanon and borrowing USD it’s pretty much like a corporate debt and future generations are paying it back.

>What really is the issue? That Amazon is leveraging its success to be successful?

The issue is that over the long term, Amazon is lowering the ROI on innovating and taking risks in the consumer goods space. It's able to do this because of its dominance as a marketplace.

Amazon is a monopolist in several categories. Different rules apply to monopolists than other organizations. A basic constraint is that a monopolist may not use their position of monopoly in one area to give them an advantage in another.

Deaths is a lagging indicator though, so even if it's reliable it comes in a bit late to make any policy changes off of it, and nobody likes waiting for 3 weeks to a month after each little change to see how it's reflected in death rates. Maybe it's reliable in the statistical sense, but not reliable in the sense that a layperson or a politician would be able to rely on it to guide decision making.

In general as a rust programmer you'll end up consuming orders of magnitudes more macros than you'll ever write; from what I've seen macros are more commonly written in libraries to make their use smoother, and my experience in other Macro heavy languages was similar (Clojure, SBCL).

But as others said, the point is boilerplate reduction. You can write a macro that'll automate that process away. A lot of examples are about automatically implementing certain behaviors for structs, such as equality, but you'll also see extensive macro use in ORM libraries that can generate a lot of runtime code off of a smaller table definition macro.

Anything with an explanation point is a macro invocation, by the way.

Presumably because there isn't actually that much demand for that category. Apple tried it out with the original SE and they have the sales data. If there were tons of people clamoring for a sequel, they would have made one instead of a refreshed iPhone 8.
Thanks. I am trying to understand where the savings for the user is (as in less code to type). I guess it is somehow related to T being a generic and if they didn't use this macro, they would have had to repeat this all over?
Just my guess work, but I think they are afraid that THE ONE AND ONLY compatible Linux package format will be owned by RedHat. And that "auto updating" packages in that format will usually roll through RH's servers/repos. They want to be in on the action when a standard emerges and therefor push very hard for it, ship a crap product and experience backlash.

This questionable business practice is neither new nor limited to online companies. Brick and mortar companies like Costco do have their own products competing from other vendors, and I am sure they analyze sales data before jumping on selling their own.
