Yes, but mosquitos kill that many every single year. Look at the reaction to COVID-19 compared to the amount of effort going into eliminating mosquito-borne disease. There's certainly some, but it's far from the mobilization we see when a calamity on this scale hits rich countries.
> You're basically claiming that supply&demand doesn't work.

Yes, most economists would agree that there are cases when supply and demand do not allocate resources most efficiently. The economics 101 idea your repeating requires that all actors be rational. We know that isn't the case, both in simple cases like this one and in more complex cases, like those that led to the financial crisis.

As soon as you introduce irrational actors, it isn't unreasonable for governments to step in and prevent irrational actors from harming the otherwise reasonable processes.

Price gouging, in fact, encourages this kind of irrational behavior. A rational actor would have realized that we weren't going to run out of toilet paper, and that stocking up on hundreds of rolls wasn't helpful. A rational actor would have continued buying toilet paper at their normal rate, maybe purchasing an extra roll or two.

The people who bought pallets of toilet paper were not acting rationally. And to prevent the issues irrational actors cause, regulations like per-customer limits lead to better allocation of resources.

Society as a whole is better off when everyone has access to toilet paper (or PPE or hand sanitizer). Reducing access only to those who are willing to pay 100x the normal price is not rational. It is a failure of the market.
There's two components in a turn - the desired heading at the end of the turn, and the direction you should turn to get there. Setting the "Climb to" altitude appears to have cleared the turn direction information. In the absence of that, the computer will turn in whichever direction results in a shorter turn to the desired heading. This is usually what you want, but not always, so I can understand it taking a while before anyone noticed it.
> I question whether he even does something to sabotage the election. On January 20th his term of office expires. At noon he is not the POTUS if there's been no election. Further, there's no House of Representatives, because their term expires on January 3rd. And 1/3 of Senators are not Senators. But at 12:01pm on January 20th, there is a person who will become POTUS without an election. And that's the President pro tempore of the Senate. Following that, the states will surely already be figuring out how to reinstitute the House through either appointments or new elections. It's not up to the federal government. But to pass new laws, including a new election to make up for the delayed on, we'll need a Congress.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how would there be "no election" to that degree? Rather than a single, centrally-coordinated federal election, doesn't the US have 50 state-coordinated elections (emphasis on the plural)? So to truly cancel the elections in November, you'd have to have buy in from all 50 state governments. In a slightly more realistic (yet still unrealistic) scenario you'd still have a POTUS, but one elected by electors from the states that held elections, and there'd still be a House of Representatives, but only with members from states that didn't participate in the cancellation.

I suppose the situation would be similar to what must have happened during the Civil War.

There are plenty of other sites that satisfy the constraint. The only reason why Boca Chica was chosen was due to its closeness to the Equator.

They can test fire and develop rockets anywhere, including, say, farm land in Kansas or other states.

I wonder if we’ll see that shared governance model expand in response to COVID budget pressures? I’d consider that a positive outcome. I haven’t heard any opinions on it in APLU or COGR calls.
Not to be "that guy", but if your pitch is that you can keep money transactions consistent, also make the use of semicolons on the landing page example consistent. ;)
Apart from that it looks really nice, but as a naive person it would be really cool to give examples of issues i would run into, if i tried building something like this myself...
I did too, but the funny thing about "this time is different", is that sometimes it is true. Consider the fact that Trump is the only president that said he would not respect the results of an election if he lost. Also consider the dramatic backsliding in democracy we've seen in other countries throughout the world in the last decade. Vladimir Putin never explicitly called himself Emperor for Life, but for all practical purposes, he is just that.

At the end of the day there is no such thing as "the law". They are just words written on paper.
You’re pointing to elections that happened more than three decades after the Civil Rights Acts of 1957-1968. That doesn’t support your point that the parties’ positions in the Civil Rights Acts was critical to those results. Couldn’t it be that those results are the product of things that happened during the 1990s, such as Democratic support for affirmative action?

As to the scare quotes, I’m using them because you’re using the term to refer to people who voted for Bush, it just Storm Thurmond.
> they were doing their job in responding to that call.

People aren't angry because they responded to the call.

Watch this video in case you haven't:

> How is the US a police state?

There's not a simple yes or no answer to this question. But if you sincerely want to understand where people are coming from when they make the claim, you ought to do some research.

I'll give you a head start. Try googling:

"police spying without warrant"

"stop and frisk"

"police perjury"

"police license plate readers"

"police phone data"

Also, check out organizations like the ACLU, EFF and many others who work very hard to prevent the US becoming a police state.
> your kind of rhetoric is directly adjacent to the standard communist revolutionary rhetoric employed across e.g. South America.

Yeah, I'm a Marxist. I align with many (not all) ideas about proletarian revolution.

> Amazing that people actually believe this, when there's literally laws on the books making it a crime to commit an offense against protected classes of people because of their race alone.

We've seen how powerful people, the wealthy, politicians, and law enforcement have time and again broken laws and attempted to circumvent them for their own gain or to preserve the established order.
I'd settle for open API's at this point. And honestly to me seems like a fairly natural way to do "anti-trust" without actually breaking up companies in a potentially destructive way. If other people can make slack clients, or pull "popular times" information from google places, or aggregate instagram live / facebook live videos, that would go a long way towards an open (and competitive!) ecosystem.

Ideally, we'd all be mostly following and investing in extending existing standards for chat/etc. e.g. RFC 1459 doesn't have everything that slack/Teams/etc needs but there's no good reason that Microsoft can't throw some money at IETF to help them grow the standard to what we need for modern business chat.

Separately, I could see anti-trust legislation requiring internal API's to be made accessible to competitors and billed at the same rates as internal API requests from one business segment to another. E.g. Google Maps would pay Google Places for the info that it serves up, but Yahoo Maps could re-skin that info or combine it with other sources as well if they pay the same rates that Google Maps does.
Iterative development involves failure. You don't learn without failure. I suggest you not make snark comments that indicate how little knowledge you have.
But that would only allow them to sign new certs, CA’s don’t get the private keys only the public part to sign... Or did I misunderstand you?
If we ever need this, I wouldn’t count on the ability to watch YouTube videos.

Books printed on acid-free paper or clay tablets do not copy as easily as bits, but are a lot more durable.

An alternative is to make lots of digital copies of sites like these. That’s cheaper than printing them, but a bit less durable.

I wouldn’t know which of these would be the statistically optimal (as in: information isn’t destroyed, will be found by those who need it, and can be read) method, but I don’t think YouTube is.
What about Terraform?
> Because it slows down anyone looking to crack/reverse the passwords?

Good luck brute-forcing through 2^256 passwords. The speed of the hash function should not matter.

If you still want a slow hash function though then just use more rounds.

> The only thing protecting your high entropy password is the cost of the hash

No, not really. It is the fact that the password is high entropy, combined with the preimage resistance of the hash.

> If you could run infinite attempts in 2 seconds then even your high entropy password would fail.

So would your pkdf.
I think you're forgetting that monetary cost is only one way of assessing value.

To me, it doesn't sound like the OP is suffering much at all, and they see the increased monetary cost and inconvenience as a worthwhile trade off to avoid dealing with a company that they don't like.
The first result it generated was polyacetlyne (or something similar). I didn’t check if it was actually available.

The second was musey.com which was already taken.

Third was koreatown.com, also taken.

Putting aside that most of these names are probably not something I’d randomly go with, the fact that they’re taken means they aren’t available for use anyway.
Agreed in general. In real life it can quickly become quite messy. For example, I have zero issues with HK rioting after all other venues are exhausted. It is difficult for me to argue that HK is magically different from the rest of the world. I do not advocate violence, but I understand the instinct to inflict pain after pain is inflicted upon you. The sooner we understand that, the sooner we can make it a little less bad place to live in.

That said, rioters here seem more like opportunists than protesters..
Thanks for the question! My view is that when you are creating a product and there is something that can get you faster at delivering your core value to your customers, it makes sense to leverage it.

From past experiences, on a reasonably big company (>100 engineers) that needs to do these money movements checks, it would save at least 3 engineers from support/evolution and not counting the development time for a good ledger.

And people who live in areas where malaria is common do use nets and screens as much as possible. Unlike many people in western countries though, they don't have the luxury of locking themselves down indefinitely. Nor do they have the same expectation that the measures would only need to be temporary.
Strictly speaking, this is not an arbitrage, because (a) you run the risk of not getting an above-inflation pay rise, and (b) even if such a pay rise is a certainty, you are locking your money up while you wait for it. The latter point makes it a carry trade, rather than an arbitrage.

If you could sell your future interest in refundable vacation days now, for more than it cost you to buy them, that would be an arbitrage.
I use Swarm in production and am learning k8s as fast as possible because of how bad Swarm is:

1. Swarm is dead in the water. No big releases/development afaik recently

2. Swarm for me has been a disaster because after a couple of days some of my nodes slowly start failing (although they’re perfectly normal) and I have to manually remove each node from the swarm, join them, and start everything up again. I think this might be because of some WireGuard incompatibility, but the strange thing is that it works for a week sometimes and other times just a few hours

3. Lack of GPU support

That's a great quote, thanks for sharing that. Long, thoughtful, and almost certainly a real quotation for once.

I think there's a strong naivety in liberal perspectives on non-violence. Liberal successes like the civil rights movement were finalized and won by non-violent leaders like MLK, and so he has been championed as a hero who represents the values that won the day. Students in school are taught that "the good guys" follow his approach. MLK is, without a doubt, a social hero to a very high degree. However, there's a HUGE other side to the civil rights movement. The state is incentivized to work with non-violent leaders because the alternative is credible threats of violence. When the bulk of the population thinks violence is never an option, your non violent offering loses its teeth.

You don't need to advocate for violence. But if it happens, focus on the root cause and empathize with why people are driven to this.
So are you saying that, no matter what, if you want to reply your whole infrastructure as code (networks, dmz, hosts, services, apps, backups etc ) that you are going to have to reproduce that somehow (whatever the combo of AWS services are, OR just learn K8S

Strile-insect achieves 90-95% (e.g.[1]). Sustained and combined with a bit from the other approaches (netting, drying some swamps, this article suggests a medicine to make infected biting mosquitoes die, etc.), we can at least repeat what happened in much of the West - the population was reduced so much the parasite went extinct, when the population bounced back it was 'clean' (in other places in the West these mosquito simply went extinct).

Until it breaks.
I completely disagree. Your comments on the example I referenced don’t match reality or what was in the article at all. Read the first paragraph of the first article:

> On March 1, the day after the first coronavirus death in the United States, brothers Matt and Noah Colvin set out in a silver SUV to pick up some hand sanitizer. Driving around Chattanooga, Tennessee, they hit a Dollar Tree, then a Walmart, a Staples and a Home Depot. At each store, they cleaned out the shelves.

These people did not buy hand sanitizer in an area with high supply with an intention of getting it to people in need. They recognized that the value of hand sanitizer was about to go up, so they acted faster than everyone else to scoop up as much stock as they could, with the intention of charging people much more than they paid for it.

This had nothing to do with supply chain inefficiency, where supply is sometimes available in the wrong geographic location. They acted before the pandemic was a major national issue, in anticipation that it would become such a thing, in order that they would stand to profit from it without actually bringing any additional value to anyone.
Yes, Godot would handle that very well.

I'll add my use case: we use hosted kubernetes to deploy all of our branches of all of our projects as fully functional application _stacks_, extremely similarly to how they will eventually run in production. Want to try something and show it to someone in the product owner level? Ok there will be a kube nginx-ingress backed environment up in build-time + a few minutes.

The environments advertise themselves via that same modified ingress's default backend. We stick a tiny bit of deploy yaml in our projects, the deployments kube tagging gives us all the details we need to provide diffs, last build time, links to git repos, web sites etc for the particular environment. The yaml demonstrates conclusively how an app could or should be run, regardless of os or software choice, so when we hand it to ops folks there is a basis for them to run from.
Exactly this.

> I still believe 90% of users would be better served by Nomad.

Well sure, but if the story just ended with "everyone use the least exciting tool", then there'd be few articles for tech journals to write.

But Kubernetes promises so much, and deep down everyone subtly thinks "what if I have to scale my project?" Why settle for good enough when you could settle for "awesome"? It's just human nature to choose the most exciting thing. And given that I do agree that there's some manufactured hype around Kubernetes, it isn't surprising to me why few are talking about Nomad.
> You seem to be strangely unaware of the large amount of money which has been spent for decades on mosquito control by individuals and all levels of government.

And there's definitely some shady stuff going on with the videos of the person who broke windows at AutoZone.

Unfortunately, I think the police department's handling of this has only encouraged rioting. I would give them the benefit of the doubt if the officer was suspended pending an investigation or review. But he was fired. That's a mountain of paperwork and HR involvement - so they were probably pretty certain they couldn't defend what he did. But they didn't arrest him, which I'm pretty is less of a bureaucratic headache, until after the rioting.

Maybe someone can give a plausible and reasonable explanation for that sequence of events, but from where I'm sitting this just screams "rioting got our attention".
Twitter is a plague on public discourse. We'd be better off as a society if it were never invented. If I knew how to put the genie back in the bottle, I would advocate for it.
