For schools in good financial states (they are few in number), I think they will actually trend in this direction.

The most prestigious medical schools, engineering schools, etc. actually make a ton of money from non-tuition-based sources. Income from patent licensing, federal research grants, etc. dominate income from tuition.

Some of these schools also have endowments that are absurd multipliers of their annual expenditures.

For these schools, where the lack of tuition isn't such a near-term threat, they might actually realize that they can make more money in the long-term (and incentivize better education) by making tuition something more like an ISA.

You've seen it already, where some schools are offering "free tuition", because the value of the labor they get from their students is already greater than the tuition they charge. There's also probably some good tax benefits to writing off the expense of education, in these scenarios. https://med.nyu.edu/education/md-degree/md-affordability-fin...

Especially when you include the tax benefits, free tuition might actually be cheaper than an ISA, because enforcing an ISA requires operational overhead.

Thanks for the link.

In the paper I see no direct comparison between COVID response to ventilation vs ARDS response to ventilation, but I think I understand that you say the responses are similar, based on your experience. Am I getting that right?

Also, of course, there is nothing in the paper comparing COVID invasive ventilation outcomes with, for example, oxygen and positioning treatment outcomes. So, interesting, but I don't think this qualifies as "data over anecdote".

I take it you are a pulmonary or ER doctor. If so, can you comment on the widely circulated claim that high death rates on ventilators in NYC are likely in part attributable to very aggressive ventilation and/or reduced attention to ventilation settings due to extreme fear of exposure to the virus (tubes leading from patients to other rooms and the like)?
I want to get into OpenShift/OKD, but the distributed storage systems are quite frightening. There are plenty nightmare stories related to GlusterFS performance.

However, strange as it sounds, I'm looking to deploy a cluster on a single node, primarily for the Kubernetes API & ecosystem (so many tooling options).

What is your opinion on running K8s this way, and having only local RAID storage?

> You often avoid the incidental complexity in code by indirectly shifting it to the people working the software.

Yes, this is Larry Wall's waterbed theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbed_theory

I do think it's important to distinguish accidental and essential complexity. Some complexity is inherent and if you think you've eliminated it, all you have really done is made it someone else's problem.

But there is also a lot of complexity that is simply unnecessary and can be eliminated entirely with effort. Humans make mistakes and some of those mistakes end up in code. Software that does something that no one ever intended can be simplified by having that behavior removed.
Have you had any serious yet? If you are on the happy path does not really matter what you use.
Because there are multiple paths and the virus really spreads like a wave frontier in a 10 dimensional space of human to human contacts graph. The virus also spreads in a non uniform way: it's not about the distance between two interacted persons, but about the nature of their interaction, whether they weared masks and so on. The virus also really likes to stick to surfaces, like door handles or plastic wraps, and this vector of transmission is very difficult to trace even manually. Think of credit cards. The virus floats in the air like smoke if someone coughed and others may catch it this way. An app can't account for that and instead builds a social graph of interactions. The app would notice a lot of people crowded in a parking lot and would assume the virus was transmitted between those 50 people, but it wouldn't know that all those people sit in their cars, so the app just made the transmission chain 50x less useless. A few more such gatherings and the relevance of tracing drops to those sub quantum levels of homeopathic medicine.
The thing that is non-standard is the fact that it's a setting at all. It's not up to the application to decide when it should start, it's up to the system. And it should most definitely not override the settings of the system.

I honestly have no idea. I think it's scary! I wrote this comment on this thread and it got flagged/removed:

I think first perhaps we should decide on a good way to measure legislation if you plan to improve it. Good luck with that, because now you're right back to the problem of people's biases affecting the outcome.

The world is made of individuals and groups with biases, and as long as they have even the tiniest amount of power, those biases cannot be removed from the process.
Yeah – ARM is just making it easy to get access to their IP while you’re in the strapped-for-cash startup mode. Once you start producing and selling you’ll be on the hook for licenses like anybody else.
That article said nothing. Here's the bill text for the curious: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/339...
>1) Therefore, there cannot be a simplest solution.

I never said this, I said that you cannot verify that the current solution you have is the simplest solution. This is based off of science, nothing can be verified science. Because we treat software more as black box experiments rather than formal systems, verification of your solution as the simplest solution is impossible until you define formal axiomatic rules. But again, this is basically never done and Even than you'd have to deal with Godels incompleteness.

>2) Therefore, there is ALWAYS an opportunity for a reduction to be discovered.

There is always opportunity in the sense of "possibility" if a solution hasn't been formally verified to be its' simplest. 2 follows from the notion that complexity cannot be verified.

> [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity

From your wikipedia source:

"The notion of Kolmogorov complexity can be used to state and prove impossibility results akin to Cantor's diagonal argument, Gödel's incompleteness theorem, and Turing's halting problem. In particular, no program P computing a lower bound for each text's Kolmogorov complexity can return a value essentially larger than P's own length (see section § Chaitin's incompleteness theorem); hence no single program can compute the exact Kolmogorov complexity for infinitely many texts."

The above states that the exact Kolmogorov complexity can never be computed for all texts and that this fact has been formally verified axiomatically.

Doesn't this support my overall point? If you can't verify the complexity of a piece of text than you can't verify if it's the least complex because you don't even know the complexity let alone whether its' the least complex.

If it's not bitcoin, it does not inherit the fix for inflation. If you have a useful innovation, it is possible to deploy it as a bitcoin sidechain, or colored coin on bitcoin, which retains the fix for inflation (no need to create new tokens), whilst enabling whatever developments you've created.

There's one, and only one reason why people prefer to do the print your own token strategy: to generate lots of low cost tokens early on with the expectation of exchanging them for real wealth later on when an exchange market with some liquidity arises and you can market your product to naive investors.

If it's not bitcoin, it's a money grab. It really is that simple.
If you're looking for a small week-end project, try checking out the spec and implementing a Gemini client or server. I wrote up a server over two days during my lunch breaks and it was relaxing working with such a small and simple protocol.

There's also a lot of neat stuff at CAPCOM[1] (which is sort of like a public RSS feed) if you're looking for capsules (what Gemini calls websites) to check out.

> Imagine a programming language that was specified and actually finished

Many programming languages like that exist: ANSI C, Pascal, PHP 1.0, Ruby 1.0, Python 1.0, etc. No one uses them. They could simply choose not to upgrade, but they don't.

If you assume people, on aggregate, are reasonable, then it seems that the value of changing languages outweighs the cost of the churn.
One interesting application is virtual economies with very low levels of trust and high degrees of fraud. Lets say I'm selling virtual gold items in an MMORPG like WoW or Runescape, if I sell my gold to somebody through Paypal the buyer can quite easily revert the charge or use a stolen credit card found online, the cash will eventually be removed from my financial account or my financial account will be locked or even terminated as a result - while the buyer gets to keep their virtual gold.

It's no surprise that Bitcoin becomes a preferred payment method here because once it's sent it's sent and not going back.

Bitcoin provides an opportunity to remove consumer protections when that effect may be desired, weird as it sounds it is very effective in a trusted seller : untrusted buyer relationship. This process lubricates trade between some international exchanges with countries with higher amounts of fraud or fewer legal protections.

Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat Consulting where my day job is 100% OpenShift.

You're probably using applications and systems which are hosted on OpenShift [0][1]. Second article says we have over 1100 customers which seems low, to me at least. We have OpenShift in a lot of places and you don't realize it (which is how we intend it). A subset of our customers can be found here [2].

I've personally worked on some really interesting systems and projects, successfully faced off against Black Friday, and reached some really interesting scales. But at the end of the day, OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution [3] with an opinionated install story, an opinionated AppDev story, and the ability to be deployed on-prem, in the public & private clouds, and on VMs or baremetal. The try it on your laptop method can be found here, branded CodeReady Containers [4]. If you want to just play with an already running system, try learn.openshift.com [5].

This comment is not about text blocks as such but the write up by the author. (Brian Goetz... If you are here, when do we see the next edition of the book, please?).

It is not simply 'here's a new language feature'. I find it quite informative regarding what, why, how and why not etc. His articles explain what went into the decision making. Something on the lines of discussions in Effective Java by Joshua Bloch.

Honestly, this is probably a big part of the reason I've really come to dislike things like Scrum and what Agile looks like now. My experience has been that these methodologies tend to treat devs as fungible cogs which fits very much with the idea of engineers/developers as assembly line workers.

Trump's a moron, but it isn't clear to me that HIS TEAM dragged their feet on anything. I'm a big fan of Bill Maher, and Dan Crenshaw's interview on the show had some relevant points, including the fact that the House dragged their feet on providing funding requested by the administration. They did, and there's a record of it. I checked myself when I was watching, because I didn't believe it. They did.

This is the issue:

Highly intelligent people disagree on things all the time, because human cognitive capacity is so limited in it's ability to assimilate massive quantities of information. We all have filters on all the time to keep from draining our daily limit of cognitive energy, blinding us to most of reality in a way we aren't aware of.

I'm a lifelong Democratic voter, but Trump, for example, has handled certain issues much better than people I voted for in the past would have. Holding China accountable, and the WHO as well, are small examples. (Being an asshole who doesn't care how you are perceived can have advantages) Bigger examples are trade policies. He basically has a classic Bernie Sanders attitude to American manufacturing (unfortunately it comes with Trump himself......).

The point is that elitist thinking, that the population can't be trusted, is the hallmark of every authoritarian regime in history. It certainly is the justification. You can't have it both ways.

There is a distinction between necessary complexity and "busy beaver" artificial complexity. And it turns out that there's a pretty compelling mapping between energy and information and fundamental complexity. There's a reason they both use a concept of 'entropy'.

That said, there's no denying that there's probably a lot of unnecessary complexity in most software.
Tesla stock plunged after Elon Musk tweeted it was “too high”
From memory SEC fined Musk and Tesla and Musk tried playing hardball with them and the SEC immediately doubled the fine. They were willing to start an escalation and Musk finally backed down.

Sounded to me like he was not in a strong position last time and another blatant violation is unlikely to be an easy walk in the park.

The share price has immediately moved, this is just reckless behaviour.
We should be careful here. Smarts and creativity go a long way, but they're not a substitute for the years of training and experience of health-care professionals. Other commenters have mentioned delivering mixtures of gas as a requirement. I'll add sterilizing the equipment between uses.

It's true that the durable medical equipment (DME) industry is ripe for disruption. But that disruption isn't going to come from cheap stripped-down equipment, even if that equipment has stunningly wonderful software in it.

DME industry disruption will come from figuring out how to break the innovation-restricting stranglehold of Group Purchasing Organizations on health care supply chains. That's harder to pull off than quick-turn prototypes. What's needed is market disintermediation. That's a political and financial challenge, not a gadget-creation challenge.

Somebody once said to me, "software is the most complex thing ever invented." But that can't be right: look at a modern airplane. It has software in it, but it has plenty of other complexity. DME is the same way.

Creativity like Dr. Daily's is great. Really great. But it alone doesn't solve hard problems. If we software types claim it does, we're setting people up for disappointment.
My guess is the Patent Office doesn't want to be swamped by some machine learning equivalent of adding 'on a computer' to every verb in the dictionary.
Why? I'm not an expert here, but it seems basically the same to me.

“Indistractable” by Nir Eyal with Julie Li
I have tried running OKD/OpenShift locally - even using the latest retake on it - Code Ready Containers. It is way too resource intensive for a single VM. That is before you start the prometheus/monitoring/alerting stuff or metrics server - at that point your single VM is good as dead.

You can just learn plain old K8S - get an Ubuntu VM and snap install microk8s. Add another vm as a node and it works well for most part and sans storage stuff (you can do NFS though) you can learn almost everything. After that catching up to OpenShift specifics is not that big of a deal - it's not all that different.

Personally, I've very rarely needed to replace those consumables, and I ride my bikes very hard. Only time I have needed a new chain and cassette is when I let my bike rust because I rode it all winter without washing it. And I've got like one set of brake pads in the last 5 years for my 2-3 bikes, since disk brake pads last pretty well forever as long as you don't foul them with something. I do go through a lot of tubes though, but no tires yet. As for tools all my bikes need for maintenance is a couple of allen keys and a phillips screwdriver.

I could see people spending that money bringing it to a mechanic for a tune up though. Personally I think that is a waste of money since it's super easy to tune up bikes yourself, but I do know lots of people who spent years with their bike shifting like garbage when it would take just a couple minute tune up to fix.
