Yeah, my first thought was that retaining someone qualified to fly one of these things is going to be significantly harder than affording the vehicle itself.

We care about celebrity deaths because our instinctive brain sees them as someone familiar. Someone that you knew, a member of your tribe. Even if that person doesn't even know you exist. It is also a reminder of our own death. Specially when it is someone young that looks fit and all.
Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage have a reported net worth of about $8 million. Grant and Tory have reported net worths of $2 million. And Kari is about $1.5 million.

Not bad, but both Jamie and Adam were well respected visual effects artists, builders, and model makers before Mythbusters. Mythbusters primarily shot at Jamie's shop.

Grant and Tory both worked at ILM. Kari was an employee of M5, Jamie's company, when she was put on the show.

So, not terribly rich, but about what you would expect. $1 - $2 million "net worth" is more attainable than you might think. As net worth includes assets and what not. They have enough money to take substantial risks that might not pay off.

C19pro is the best model out there, but it only uses deaths as its input. That's good because cases are a noisier measurement, but it's bad because of the lag effect I just described. It will take time to correct if there is a large transient in R.

All else being equal, if the case count triples, the death count is going to triple. Now in this case there are two things that aren't equal. #1 is that the cases are more biased towards younger people, and #2 is that positivity has increased. I expect that these two factors will roughly cancel each other out and the death count will be about 2200. Would you care to place a wager on the over/under at 1600?

This "better example" would not exist on earth, so there's nothing useful to learn from it.

The US and USSR were equally powerful, playing the same game, with the same population. Ideology vs ideology. Capitalism won by a mile.

Because fundamentally the US isn't driven by an all-encompassing ideology. Capitalism doesn't dictate how every citizen live their life. It only describes how the economic system will work. Anyone inside the system is free to create their own enclave. If you want to move to Oregon to live on a commune, no capitalist commissar is there to stop you. Starting a capitalist enclave in a communist country would have had to sent to the gulag.

I've always thought of two factors in Canadian federal politics that make a huge difference operationally: Many political parties (diversity of platforms/views), and the vote of no confidence.

Canada generally has at least three official political parties (more than 12 seats in the house) at any given time. Currently there are four. You need the most seats but not necessarily a majority of seats to form a government. If a party has fewer than 50%, they form what's called a minority government.

Next big piece is the motion of no confidence, which means we can have an election literally whenever if a government can't pass legislation.

So combine the chance of minority governments and more voices and platforms in government the possibility that obstruction can actually cause you to, you know, lose your job, and you get natural checks against a lot of the problems on display in American federal politics right now. If you can't pass a budget, you don't get a federal shutdown until you negotiate one, you get an election triggered immediately. I understand why no confidence would be practically impossible in America due to money and insanely long election cycles, but it really helps form coalitions and collaboration in Canadian politics.

No. A particular VM's memory is decrypted by that VM's key.

I mean, reading / playing witcher you'd get better morale / class diversification understanding than reading Bible or Illiad, Shakespeare is definetely not for school readings, if you're not interested in the actual literature that book has no value in your life.

I, personally, love reading books. But forcing that material to 12-18 and saying read these classic ones just pushes back youth from reading at all. You either move forward and adapt with the current generation or you try to force old generation habits and slowly curse on the result.
I am quite sympathic to your predictions, I both hope and semi expect some big changes in the next decade. But I have to be strict: this is the potential for progress, not actual progress. And I think it's probably already too late, it might be too late now even to avert the worst of climate change. Adding another decade to restructure socially and get non-western non-democratic countries into the same mold is a huge delay at a very late stage.

That's an interesting train of thought, but I hope it is not the future. The world population is still growing. Labour is still the biggest wealth distribution system for most people. To eliminate "low-skill" jobs seems like an inhumane way forward. It will likely increase inequality.

Also to take your example: walking a dog can also be considered a high-skill job. Sure you don't need a degree, but you need empathy and kindness. Pretty hard to teach to some people.
(author here) Thanks for raising this — I intended for that example just to illustrate the underlying concept of having balanced entries for a transaction, rather than to show how double entry is practiced today.

For more concise and precise explanations of the rationale for these kinds of tools, see this paper: https://github.com/TimelyDataflow/differential-dataflow/raw/... -- here's the abstract:

> Existing computational models for processing continuously changing input data are unable to efficiently support iterative queries except in limited special cases. This makes it difficult to perform complex tasks, such as social-graph analysis on changing data at interactive timescales, which would greatly benefit those analyzing the behavior of services like Twitter. In this paper we introduce a new model called differential computation, which extends traditional incremental computation to allow arbitrarily nested iteration, and explain—with reference to a publicly available prototype system called Naiad—how differential computation can be efficiently implemented in the context of a declarative dataparallel dataflow language. The resulting system makes it easy to program previously intractable algorithms such as incrementally updated strongly connected components, and integrate them with data transformation operations to obtain practically relevant insights from real data streams.

Canada it is a "state"/provincial system. All provinces manage their own. Canada doesn't get inundated with Americans because if they do come, patients will be charged like private health care. If the patient's home province has universal health care, both province's will just work it out.

In general, we don't dump problems on to other provinces. It's bad form and federal courts will fix that quick especially with so much money on the line. If Florida state sends patients to a universal health care NY state for care, you can bet, NY State will be suing either residents of Florida for medical bills or Florida State directly.

I'm not disagreeing that capitalism is the better economic model. Merely that calling the contrast between east and west germany the best possible experiment when it was likely the worst.

Maybe a comparison should be drawn between post war Yugoslavia and Austria as they had comparatively less interference from the major power blocs.

Also the U.S had much greater economic power than the U.S.S.R throughout the cold war. After WW2, Stalin even considered accepting American economic aid from the Marshall Plan.

From Siberia to Tibet: Life on a Train
Not to start a flame war over book choice but forcing kids to read the Bible, Homer's Iliad, and Shakespeare are probably what is causing such marked disinterest in the first place. There are so many interesting and valuable works of writing, fiction and non-fiction, that can captivate and entertain modern children that aren't unapproachable tomes translated from ancient, dead languages, or written in Iambic Pentameter.

One of the first plays I read that actually interested me in Theater was Waiting for Godot. Reading The Stranger in high school exposed me to so many new and complex ideas. Even extremely recent books like "Something that May Shock and Discredit You" by Daniel M. Lavery or "Trick Mirror" by Jia Tolentino are fascinating works of the modern American Canon. I'm not Polish but I'm sure there are equally relevant works in Polish.

If you think kids just prefer to watch a "movie based on a book" maybe stop making them read boring books that truly lack lots of meaningful relevance to their lives today.

And seriously, stop making kids read The Bible as a literary lesson. Nothing made me dis-engage in school like being told "I know you're Jewish and this feels like proselytizing, but I promise, this is purely a lesson in literature, nothing more". That is proven to be a lie when King James's edition is selected over an English translation of the Torah, and when no other non-Christian religious texts are selected for literary evaluation...

but it's not anyone else, it's the central bank of the USA, as mandated by Congress.

they provide price stability (by keeping the money supply corresponding to the demand) and they try to maximize employment (by helping the economy through providing liquidity, every central bank is the "lender of last resort" but that's for emergencies, usually they operate simply by providing forward guidance and conducting open market operations to keep the interbank interest rate close to the target rate).

don't think of them like just a bank, it's more like the Mint, combined with an expert panel that tries to smooth out the fluctuations of the economy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_business-cycle_theory )

Also, as long as they don't try to get clever - like the Bank of Japan did with strategic loans ("window guidance" back in the 80s).
