Yes, I do. As a very visual person, I love the graph view. It helps me visualise what I can only have an idea about in my head. And more often than not you forget a note ever existed. So when you see the graph view, you see what exactly is connected with it and helps you remember it better.

You don't need testing, just accurate body counts. You can see COVID hit Europe as a spike in excess deaths, even if you weren't testing. If there were currently a mortality spike in Bangladesh even higher than Europe's, it would not go unnoticed. Disappearing bodies is not that easy.
This is such a classic physicist’s answer. It starts off promising, with a lot of context and detailed exposition which leads one to hope that perhaps it will be pulled together into an enlightening explanation at the end.

But when one reaches the end, one finds merely the truism “It is this way because that’s what you get when you solve the equations.”

(yes, I have spent a lot of time working with physicists.)

There are orbitals[0], but they're not so nicely circular like in that "atomic" atom that dominated from the 1950's.

Each energy level has a different shape.

Also, they don't 'orbit' like planets. It's now a probability space[1]. i.e. You will _likely_ find electrons in this 'orbital' somewhere, but could be anywhere.... but you have to go looking for them. Once you've found them, they're instantly somewhere else in a completely unknown area of that orbital.

Who comes up with these ideas? I swear, there is a class of people (seemingly in charge of every decision at big companies now) who just sit there and try to come up with ways of extracting money from customers without adding value to the equation what-so-ever. I'm sure the guy who came up with this brilliant idea was paid a huge bonus -- while the engineers actually trying to make a better car get nothing.

It's so tiring to see this happen again and again everywhere. It seems actually doing things -- anything at all -- doesn't really matter to companies any more. Who teaches people that this is OK?
This isn’t a refutation of Federici’s argument.

Her’s is specifically that the conditions of European feudalism created an emergent communalism that was then subjugated through witch trials and their mythology in service to the new, Capitalist ordering.

She doesn’t argue that gendered forms of subjugation have no prior context in history. And whether or not the changes in women’s social/economic conditions were “temporary” depends on a rationalization of the violence that was used to reorder society and a fallacious appeal to nature that makes little sense in terms of how Capitalism otherwise radically transformed societies.
Unfortunately I can't find data on acquisitions vs. bankruptcies. But Europe also ranks higher in new businesses per capita, although the difference seems to be less pronounced. I used total businesses because your comment seemed to imply to me that policy in the US would make it easier for businesses to survive and total number of businesses seems to be a measure of that.

With QFT (Quantum Field Theory)[1] there are no particles at all - just perturbances of the corresponding fundamental fields. Moreover, seems like QFT is the dominant explanation to date. At least at the current level of understanding and according the fad. There is a problem with it - it's incompatible with the general relativity, so unlikely is completely true. But it explained so many phenomena. Some people think it's not even fundamental, nor the space, time, fields themselves - only geometry/topology is - see, for example, the amplituhedron[2][3]. While it doesn't represent our complex 3+1 dimensional reality, it's certainly a new way to look at things. Time will tell.

The plan is bad because google currently tracks all of your activities inside AMP hosted pages site in their support article.

Google controls the AMP project and the AMP library. They can start rewriting all links in AMP containers to Google’s AMP cache and track you across the entire internet, even when you are 50 clicks away from google.com.

My point is that hunger is bad enough and I don’t think splitting hairs between whether the richest country on the face of the earth has starvation or merely hunger is constructive, if we believe that either is unacceptable because of the human pain and suffering and damage they cause. We know hunger exists in America, and that it doesn’t have to.

I feel like the real issue is something that plagues many complex systems: very smart people design something that fails to take into account the very fallible humans which will be responsible for actually running the systems. Scientists and engineers seem to overestimate the capabilities of humans to screw things up. Systems should be designed to be somewhat 'overdamped' so that lack of control results in the system shutting down safely.

It’s been considered, and if memory serves, implemented a few times. I want to say someone put a ship full of migrant workers in international waters off the coast of California a few years ago.

The concept is usually known as “seasteading” - though, to be fair, that term includes a good bit of political baggage as well.
Nope.

If you have one instance you better be damn sure that downtime doesn’t cause an an outage. IE. no redis means services still run.

The “it’s fine, the SLA covers outages” is just a) laziness and b) negligence.

You don’t do that with web servers, you don’t do it with databases. You don’t do it with your redis instance either.

...well, I suppose some people will do the it anyway; but you get what you get if you do.

If a major outage gets you fired, you have no o w to blame but yourself.
NASA Apollo 13 team did intentionally brick S-IVB upperstage radio downlink so that frequency auto-calibration goes way off so it won’t interfere with the rescue operation.

That auto-calibration system probably was a series of analog opamp circuits, so if that’s the case they managed to OTA brick a complex enough analog radio.

You're going to want a bit more than 4kJ/K to heat up water, and fresh water from a kitchen tap might be say 280K while you want to boil it, so 373K, for a difference of 93K. So that's about 400kJ of energy.

A (good) UK electric kettle will almost invariably have a 3kW flat element (13A at 240V = 3.1kW but you don't want to get too close to the maximum). So that's turning almost 3kJ of electricity into heat every second, which works out to just over 130 seconds = 2 minutes and change to boil the water as the reviewers found.

Edit: Forgot to add, I assumed one litre which is also what Which used in their test. In practice you might boil just 2 cups of water to make a beverage, which will be much faster.
I’d think large skylights in the public spaces could help a great deal with that issue.
The SI units are 811 K and 1366 K (or 800 K and 1400 K, using a reasonable number of sig figs.)

It's an interesting parallel to musicians but I think we are far from the tech actually being good enough to scale that well. The problem for most courses is not recording the lectures, it is trying to replicate the one on one (or small group) time available with at least TAs, if not professors. This does work decently well over Zoom for an existing class, where the course staff is selected based on the ~# of students enrolled, but I don't see how it would work for a more broadly taught online class.

I got free access to a MOOC this summer that usually costs money just to view (HMX), and even at that scale the course forum is low quality and the "assignments" that have open ended questions just give you an automatic check mark, so you get zero feedback on your thinking. It's a solid class still and I'm enjoying it as a for fun learning experience, but it is not even close to what I would want out of a subject I am more seriously studying.

Anyway, I think a large part of that is just the lack of interaction with anyone trained in the material. Maybe I live in a bubble, but the best advice I got as a frosh at orientation was "if you only go to one thing in person, make it office hours", and I think many of my friends would agree.
Ordinary sockets in a UK home supply ~240 volts at up to 13 amps = 3kW of power. In comparison a typical US outlet is ~120 volts (can be 110, can be 120, it varies) at up to 15 amps = 1.8kW.

In both countries a home will have some beefier power for special purposes. In the UK (unless it's a really big house) this would be different sockets rated for more current at 240 volts or just stuff wired permanently for the higher current. e.g. an electric oven might be 20A at 240V = 4.8kW.

In the US the weird way they get 110V means most homes (except maybe smaller dwellings in a multi-residence building) get 2x opposite 110V supplies so you can do 220V (which may be closer to 250V in some cases, again it varies) by wiring across the two sides to deliver power for an oven or central air conditioning system or other power hungry equipment. Again this is either wired in or uses less common sockets so that you don't plug the wrong stuff in.
It's simply amazing how the American mainstream media has chosen to report on hydrochloriquine as a bad, dangerous, potentially harmful drug prematurely, before any real testing has been completed. The results in this particular study may not hold up in wider testing, but they certainly might. How do these media members plan to reverse course if in fact, hydrochloriquine becomes a widely recommended treatment for Covid 19?

So thank you for sharing this. I wasn't explicitly recommending nor condemning Kafka (or Confluent). Your input is definitely valuable.

I was implicitly referring to the fact that Confluent is now trying to position their product as being a database (something I think is not really the right use case for that product), and the irony of the fact that the database/queue discussion in this article is from '95.

I do believe the unbundling of some database features have given us tools from those monoliths to use in our software architectures which are really handy.

Regarding your comment about, "nobody ever got fired for Kafka" - I've been in our industry long enough to have lived through this old saw several times, so I get it. I don't think people should go into Kafka for heavy use cases without realizing they will end up paying Confluent, and that it won't be cheap and/or perfect. I'm not suggesting people go with Kafka or Confluent for that or any specific reason, unless they prove it is the right tool for their job.

You seem to be proposing discarding Kafka completely in favor of Pulsar. I have not had the privilege of implementing Pulsar, heard about it, will need to look into it some more. I take it you have personally implemented it? Are you part of the project? What gives you the confidence that Pulsar will not become the next Kafka when the next great tool comes out? I'm genuinely interested.

Personally, we have a handful of use cases that Kafka works fine for. There are some uses cases that it promises or suggests possible, but still falls short, that we would like to have in our toolbox. They are not the common use cases it is used for. We specifically are NOT using it as a database. We are also not pushing Kafka nearly anywhere as hard as companies like LinkedIn or others do.

So given this article is about how queues are databases, I'd like your opinion on the pattern this suggests. What was your take on things like RethinkDb, which had great real time change notification (but not really messaging). Or, how about the direction Amazon QLDB seems to be going, with streams emitted from a immutable ledger for storage? Do you see any actual database which has a great story that addresses this feature?

These are all interesting tools, but personally the pattern of an unbundled, immutable transaction log, with change notification feeding a messaging system feels like a helpful tool to have in the architecture tool chest.

Your thoughts?
