While difficult for me to characterize, I feel that there is a middle ground for more casual interactions that doesn't call for maximum rigor so as to fend off the most radical claims. In practice, we can just dismiss them without engaging.
1) I mentioned your market share increases, not market size. Increasing market share has the same effects as increased TAM. I 100% agree that value is not always directly related to the difficulty of problem you are solving. I think we are talking past each other here. When I say hard problem, it's also assuming this hard problem is a big enough problem for the customer to pay for, not for something "pretty inconsequential"

2) A problem is still a problem that your customer is looking to solve. Because it's a hard problem, it's unlikely they have a solution for it. I wouldn't call it pressure–opportunity sounds better which leads to you getting paid

3) That is correct but what's relevant here is what percentage of that revenue the customer is willing to give up

4) It does but marketing/sales is a lot easier when you are solving a hard problem. You don't need to invest as much into marketing/sales when solving a hard problem because there is less noise and competition. Word gets around much easier

We know that covid is killing people at least ten years early. https://www.gla.ac.uk/news/headline_720672_en.html

We know that many people do not have comorbidities.

The mean age of patients admitted to ICU is 60.6 years (white people), 55.4 years (non-white).

88% / 93% of people were able to live without assistance in daily activities before admission.

I had a Huawei Mate 20X, back when apple still did single-camera flagships. Compared to my wife's iPhone XS Max, it beat it in many hardware metrics:

- Bigger screen

- More RAM

- 50% bigger battery

- 3 high quality cameras, with night mode and macro zoom (2020 iPhone still can't do macro, and night mode is improvable)

The iPhone still came ahead in overall performance, and the newer iPhones have addressed some of these disadvantages, at the cost of losing features like the fingerprint reader (Mate 20X had it in the back, very comfortable to use). Mate had face unlock, but it was 2D, not the more secure 3D map the iPhone does.

> A natural monopoly is a good thing.

How so?
The process is long and yes, sometimes parliament iterates on laws to bring them into compliance with the constitution (and sometimes those changes get struck down again) but it's patently false to claim that the constitutional court doesn't have consequences. (real life is tough a claim to argue against - what is a real life consequence?)

Some consequential decision that come to my mind (without judging whether these were good or bad decision):
- they derived the right to privacy (Informationelle Selbstbestimmung) based on other rights. This is now firmly established in the judicial process.
- They struck down the law allowing the government to shoot down hijacked planes (no replacement)
- Secret paternity test are illegal and hold no value as evidence
- mass deployment of automatic number-plate recognition is illegal
- they set the barrier for voting machines so high it's de facto impossible to use them
- they've struck down the data mention laws multiple times since 2007. The government keeps trying but to this day there's no law in force
- struck down the law requiring a cross in every classroom

And these are just the bigger ones that made the press. There are a huge amount of cases that narrow down and define things like when apartments can be searched, when people can be wiretapped, what are the rights and responsilties of people living in a civil partnerships (before marriage for everyone was enacted), when and when not it's allowed to use the armed forces abroad and what restrictions on the right to assemble are allowed.

The reason you might have this impression are three-fold:
- sometimes a law that is unconstitutional can be made constitutional by adding some exceptions. For example a surveillance law might only be unconstitutional because it didn't have adequate measures to protect priests, therapists, lawyers and other professions with certain privileges. The law is then often revised and passes muster.
- some ruling a purely procedural. The decision itself is valid but either it didn't come to be in a valid way (e.g. proper parlimentary procedure wasn't maintained) or it exceeded authority (the government acted but it would have to be a law). These are often easily fixed by going through the process again or turning a decree into a law
- Lastly, the constitution might just be changed. The Constitutional Court doesn't have any higher authority than the parliament. If the parliament, following proper procedure, changes the constitution a lot of things are possible. This does require a big majority in both parliaments. Note there are some basic principles that can't be changed but they're quite limited.

> Could you expand on this some more?

I could talk about this for hours, but I'll keep it as short as I'm still in midterms week. The basics of Lean and Sigma Six are damn near antithetical to the the Chinese model business model of flooding the Market with sub-par quality, albeit incredibly cheap products. There are many reasons why this has worked for them so far, but in the case with PPE it is literately a life and death situation so it should be one of the few Industries that remain in the nation.

So, rather than fumble with delays in leadtime, bad QC/QA and constant shipping delays it is my contention that trying to bypass these incredible losses [1] is a much better solution for all involved (including the Environment), which inevitably leads to this [2] and we finally accept this [3] and we can strategize with key talent that is now fleeing Hong Kong due to the CCP's constant belligerence as they flow into Taiwan, UK, Australia and the US and help them create far more viable and sustainable business models with proper equipment and eventually displace the need for China in this sector.

I think it can be done for food as well, as that is what I was primarily focused on during my Ag apprenticeship (local, sustainable food/Ag supply chains) and my return to culinary as I worked on farm to table models in Europe and the US, and then tried to gather more info from Big Food Multinationals when I was at IBM's Blockchain Lab program, which failed to live up to it's potential and I got fed up with the status quo that made it's 'food safety' program a total farce and instead returned to the Culinary Industry after I shuttered my startup. It was a shame as they had so many Food multi-national's excited about the tech and would it could do to for their bottom line: consider 40% of all food in transport is lost due to perishability and fluctuations in temp/humidity.

Had my plan worked I would have been at SpaceX right now trying to learn their internal logistical network of their food and beverage program to eventually join Squareroots in the future, I was working at Kimbal's place, and try to help be a part of the Team to create a sustainable model for the container gardens for Mars colonization. Suffice it to say I can really nerd out on that sector more than PPE but I'd probably end up doing a Grad Level dissertation instead of actually doing the work.

> Don't answer, walk away, just stop playing their game. Although there is a part of me that wants to shout them down and ridicule them, that plays right into their bs as well.

Assuming that you have not misunderstood their intended message, or made a mistake in the formation of your belief on the matter.

My comment right here could easily be considered (evaluated as) an example of "BS". However, here it is useful to realize that there are many ways to evaluate many things, that can produce extremely different conclusions. Sometimes conclusions can even be completely contradictory, while simultaneously being objectively correct.
The comment was about when videos are artificially slowed down, not about monetisation per se.
Yes. Although I know intellectually that I should get an annual flu shot, my animal brain kicks in every time to remind me that I feel crappy for a day or three after each one.
Regular Joe is a lot more pragmatic than paying over $3 for a cup or $1.50 for a bit of a shot. Americano is actually a good deal, tastes better than filter, costs less, more volume than espresso shot. Diluting excess of bitterness or sourness for perceived balance, can be tuned with sugar. The saved coins can buy a cookie to go with it, so can sit in the coffee house longer, maybe meet someone new. Good job, Joe!
My school in the US had no windows in quite a few classrooms. I guess that’s what happens when you take an empty building designed for offices and divide it up into classrooms. It also had terrible ventilation. Many rooms would absolutely stink with the humidity unleashed from pubescent armpits, and the air conditioning was not up to the task.

Honestly, markdown files + git for history/version control is all you really need for effective note taking. Use whatever editor you like, and feel free to use some paid service for backups/versioning/etc if you feel git is too complicated, but IMO there's nothing that beats the simplicity and enduring nature of plain text files combined with the power of markdown and git/version control.

I also think paper notes are vastly underrated by many people in Tech. I keep a notebook and write stuff down all day long in addition to keeping more detailed notes digitally.
There is no way for me to tell if your espresso is good, or not. It might be good enough for you and for you that is great - but don't let your survivorship bias be an argument for "it's easy anyone can do it." That was the point.

> but: have you ever tried a manual machine yourself and got a decent espresso out of it?

Oh I have. This is my manual, well, the older version: https://www.cerinicoffee.com/products/olympia-cremina-sl. I like to experiment a lot with it and have a pressure gauge attachment on the top.

You can certainly get good espresso out of it - that isn't my point. my point is, it isn't as easy as people think - and you far overestimate based on hobbyists on coffee forums (of course they produce good shots, they're hobbyists) and people who just want coffee.

> Only if you want it, which I don't.

Well of course - but that is a downside that would turn off a lot of people.
You missed the part of that statement that was emphasized. I was saying that the fact that you personally haven't seen it happen doesn't mean it isn't happening.
When will 25M doses of FDA-approved COVID vaccine be distributed in the US?

Ah, thanks for the pointer; I can understand that reasoning. But I hope that doesn't really get stretched too far.
Open Source Production Grade Data Integration with Meltano – Episode 141
Sorry for the late reply. Dimensionality is just the number of dimensions a given record has.

For example, if you have a log line to represent an HTTP request completing it might have a server hostname that processed it, a path, and a request duration – 3 dimensions. High dimensionality is just having lots of dimensions.

Most monitoring systems aren't great at correlating between lots of dimensions, or cost a lot if you want to high cardinality, which high dimensionality contributes to. The cardinality is how many possible options there are for all of the dimensions together (so if you have 3 paths and 2 servers, those two fields have a cardinality of 6, or 6 different places you need to store your request duration for).

When you start getting lots of dimensions and lots of values for each dimension, things start getting expensive and you have to be quite restrained about what you choose to monitor. Maybe you decide not to track duration per server because you hope your servers are roughly the same, whereas you know that URL paths perform differently much of the time.

Honeycomb's great advantage is that they support this high dimensionality/cardinality really well. Not only do they not cost a lot to do it, but they also have a really nice UI for exploring this data and how different bits correlate together, without you having to know up-front what you want to look for. Honeycomb is expensive, but not prohibitively so for some engineering teams.

I'd still recommend Datadog _first_ because it does a lot more for a little less money, but if you're pushing the boundaries of what Datadog is capable of with tracing through distributed systems then Honeycomb enables the next step.

This sounds to me like someone saying that the Queen of England has the power to dissolve parliament - and just doesn't for political concerns. (Those political concerns being that if she ever exercises that power, it'll be removed)

At some point you have to recognize that if you can only use power in ways that don't interfere with another governmental body, that power might not really exist.
If you're going for a low cost development laptop most likely the pinebook pro is a better option than a cheap ryzen system. I have a cheap ryzen system, a dell inspirion its locked into windows 10 and doesn't handle virtualization but I use this thing for music production rather than development. It does a better job at media production than a pinebook pro could but actually the pinebook pro would be a better system for doing development with node and php than windows 10.

I played around with mux and it was a pleasure to use. However I needed to implement a PPV type experience and unfortunately mux did not have any way to restrict or revoke access to content on a per viewer basis. One of my requirements was to be able to revoke tokens for streams that got shared and detect multiple viewers under the same token but sadly this capability was missing. As for pricing mux is priced very well and cheaper than AWS and many other platforms.

How are citations not the fallacy of "appeal to authority"?

Citations are basically an attempt at X.509 or Certificate Authority "root of trust": follow the certs until you find one we all agree is "trustyworthy".

Except in this case, that "someone" may or may not be provable, because the root of trust could potentially go back centuries.

I'm not impugning the work of historians, I realize this is part of what they do: follow the citations, cross-correlate, and seek "the truth" through painstaking research.

But outside of extensive historical effort, it seems like a pretty flimsy strategy for contentious topics.
And the final possibility, namely both, probably happens a fair bit.

That's exactly why I said "it seems very dependent on the skill and intelligence of the human tester."

A test "pass" or "fail" could potentially be the fault of the tester as much as it is a sign of intelligence in the AI. How do you evaluate how capable someone is of administering a worthwhile Turing Test?

Maybe they should be tested beforehand. I propose a system involving a remote teletype machine and human tester...

What Scientific Term or Concept Ought to Be More Widely Known? (2017)
What do you mean by underprice implied vol? I think what you mean is that vol is underpriced, not implied vol being underpriced. Implied vol is just a function of 4 factors known at at the time of the trade (underlyer spot price, option premium, option strike, time to expiry) and one unknown (risk-free interest rate over the lifetime of the option). Saying they've gotten implied volitility wrong implies they've mis-entimated the risk-free interest rate. I think instead you mean they under-estimate vol, not implied vol.

This has flicked a lightbulb on for me.

If your teams are fairly self-organising, if you are small-a agile and building your process as you discover more, you can plan in things like “dev A will spend 50% of this sprint learning dev-ops, without doing feature work or tech debt; and 10% shadowing dev B who already does Ops”.

That seems actionable, and measurable. Over two or three sprints/iterations/retrospectives, you’ll probably be able to measure the impact of the training (more successful releases, higher uptime, or more story points covered because ops is less a bottleneck etc).
