The U.S is still the world hegemon. It means they can basically print away as much money as they want and sell their debt to other countries that use USD because the USD is the reserve currency of the world.
So the U.S can keep piling on debt and show magnificent gdp growth yet not have it's currency devalued. Europe doesn't operate like that both out of cultural reasons and because it isn't a hegemon (The Euro is less important than the Dollar).
If (once?) the U.S loses it's special reserve currency status, you will see a massive USD devaluation and salaries would look a lot more similar to Europe.
The U.S current success is much more due to historical reasons than any policy/taxation reason.

Taxis around here before Uber:

* Quite possibly just someone in a car pretending to be a taxi.

* 20 minutes on the phone to 3 different companies, to find out they won't come for two hours and they don't turn up anyway.

* Dirty.

* Terrible driving.

* Rude.

* Refuse to go where you've asked after you've already hailed one and got in.

* Only take cash.

* Take the long way to run the meter up.

* Use other tricks to get paid more - 'Oh the meter's broken. That'll be $lots'

* No way to see when they might arrive, or if there are any in the area.

* No way to know anything about your driver.

* No way to see which is your taxi when it arrives.

* ...

Taxis around here since Uber:

* Some have an app that only works for their company, and is terrible.

* Some have signed on to an app that works for more than one local companies, and is terrible.

The rest is pretty much the same.

> We have very welcoming immigration laws

Really? How easy is it for an American to get a work visa in France? It’s pretty damned difficult. I lived there for four years with a non-working visa and even getting that was difficult. And every year I had to show my bank statements, health insurance, and provide proof that I owned my house there.

Also to your other points, only one of the FAANGs has been around for more than 25 years. Yet the salary differential has been around a lot longer than that. In fact, it was much worse.

And why doesn’t Europe have massive VC funds? It’s pretty simple, taxes on gains are confiscatory, creating a disincentive to take big risks.

Emacs keybindings like Control-x Control-c don't work for me on regular keyboards. They work just fine for me on ortho keyboards with an easily accessible control key for my right thumb.

Ortho keyboards got me in the habit on using modifier keys on the opposite side of the keyboard from the shortcut key. On a regular keyboard, I'll type Command + c with my left thumb / left index finger with an unergonmic movement. On an ortho keyboard, I use my right thumb + left middle finger for the same motion.

For Vim, I started using Control + c to escape with ortho keyboards, which keeps me on the home row.

None of these are huge productivity gains. But a fun way to shock your brain and to stay sharp.
It almost sounds like you're described freedom of speech as a right to be heard. That's a distinction of positive/negative freedoms as mentioned previously in this thread. You can host a blog and your speech won't be restricted (negative freedom), but if no one is viewing it, that's because no one cares to hear what you have to say. You don't have the right to be heard (positive freedom) because that would require people being forced to hear you.

If the problem is that you can't build an audience it's not because your freedom of speech is being restricted, it's because no one wants to listen to you.

> I don't think anything good would be lost if store brands went away

A cheaper alternative for consumers?

Consider some consumer good made overseas produced at the same factory for both the name brand and store brand. As a consumer why should I have to pay for the huge marketing spend the name brand needs to recoup?

I don't see how harming consumers is a useful end of anti-monopoly laws.
I can get that publishers may not see profitable selling access to individual articles. I can get they don't want to sell an individual issue like they used to sell paper copies. I can understand they have annual RPU target so short-term subscriptions are off the table. But not offering an option of a limited time subscription without auto-renewal is a scam.

Auto-renewal should be an opt-in. Unsubscribing should not require a phone call. Then we may talk loyal subscribers and how publishers are actually the good guys.

Recently I avoid any CC subscriptions and subscribe exclusively through PayPal. And as the first payment goes through, I cancel automatic payments.
> How is that not the goal?

The goal is to produce a program with as few serious bugs as possible, as cheaply as possible. It is never a goal to use a programming language with certain properties; that could just be a means to that end.

> The more bugs I can statically guarantee are absent the better!

Only provided that those guarantees don't come at a cost that could make finding the bugs you don't statically eliminate harder. How could it make it harder? By making the language overall harder to understand -- both by informal and formal analysis -- making safe evolution more tricky, and by slowing down compilation, which slows down the testing cycle and reducing the number of tests you write.

Correctness is a very complex subject, and that "the more sound guarantees the better" is not a consensus opinion on how to get there. For example, even in formal verification circles, a lot of current research focuses on reducing soundness (e.g. concolic testing vs. model-checking/deductive proofs). It's like the question of how to catch more fish: is a smaller net with small holes that guarantees no fish can get through it better, or is it better to cast a wider net with larger holes, that might let some fish slip through but covers a wider area?

Perhaps in the case of the net and the fish an answer could be given ahead of time if you know everything there is to know about the distribution of the fish size and their dispersion, but that's not the case with software bugs. We simply don't know enough, and the only way to answer the question is through empirical observation, over a wide range of applications and over a long time. It's also possible that both approaches are equally good at achieving correctness, and then it's just a matter of personal preference based on other aspects of the language.
Microsoft and Sony both have more than $25 billion in revenue. What happens when a company gets above $25 billion in revenue? Do they have to divest?

Also, that means that none of the cloud providers could have a marketplace where they sell third party solutions. ElasticCo, Mongo, and plenty of the open source companies sell software through the marketplaces of all three cloud providers. Would that be disallowed to?

Do you think any of those companies that sell through the cloud provider’s marketplace would like that outcome?
Very nice, lovely animations too to show how parameters changing would affect the final result.
I had a kinesis before they did the cool new upgrades with cherry switches and whatnot. I will probably buy one of those, now.

What's particularly great about them is that you can set them up vertically so that your wrists are completely neutral. Same concept as a vertical mouse, and similarly restrictive in its functioning.

Most people probably don't need this level of relief. Idk.

Their tablets certainly aren’t as functional when it comes to the selection of apps available, unless you jump through weird, unsupported, highly fishy hoops to install Google Play on them.
I asked myself the same question for a while. Built “tasteful” personal rigs.

Then as a bit of a joke when I was helping some friends build their PC for the first time, we decided to be egregious with RGBs just for the hell of it. And you know what? It was fun to not be so serious. And I think that’s part of it, why not have a PC built for games have some personality in the form of pulsating water coolers, light bars, video cards with self-illumination? If you get sick of any of it it’s trivial to disable them in software of hardware (e.g. take them out).

I should also mention I’m not an edgy 13 year old, I’m a 40 year old dad.

A store that sells third party off-label products can still do quality control on those products and can take responsibility for what they sell, just as they would remove faulty brand-name products to protect their reputation.
I'm with you on the mental model, but from a hardware point of view what you also don't want is hundreds of random disk seeks. I know we're almost in an SSD-only world but HDDs are still a thing and large sequential reads are always important at any level of the memory hierarchy.
Perfect.

That's the same level of ownership that you have over anything physical, which is the level of ownership that the comment I was replying to was saying is hard to achieve on the Internet.

I don't have the references handy, but IIRC "flu season" and winter diseases in general were essentially resolved by a model that takes absolute (not relative) humidity and gives the probability that aerosols (e.g., a sneeze or breath) will remain in air for a while, or fall to the ground.

IIRC, same computations correctly predict flu season (and other viral diseases) for the last 10 years or so, but fail to predict covid-19 dispersion (and in particular, predicted a drop during the summer of the northern hemisphere, which did not happen) - which may indicate either that the model is borked, or that the primary dispersion vector is NOT, as commonly assumed, aerosolized -- in fact, there are quite a few pieces of evidence pointing in that direction. (Not that it's impossible, just that it's not the primary one).
I've been using mine for about a year now. I love it. I'm not really an orthodox touch-typist so there were a few keystrokes that took some time for me to get the hang of. I'm pulling 100 WPM though so I must be doing something sort of right :)

The customization of both the RGB and the keys themselves as well as the ergonomics have been well worth it. I use a USB switch and use the keyboard for both Windows gaming and development on Mac.

One quirk of my typing style is that I use my right index finger for the space bar, so my left space bar effectively went unused when typing. I rebound the left space bar to the Command Key on my Mac profile so I can use my thumb for it like I would on a Mac keyboard.

I use it for gaming too. Sometimes I move the right side completely out of the way so I'm just using the left and my mouse.

I'm not saying these are all features exclusive to this particular keyboard. But a split keyboard was a great investment that I'd recommend.
I've been on an ortho (Let's Split) and a vertical staggered board (Iris) for a few years now. The Iris is stuck in my locked office that we can't go back into for the foreseeable future so I'm on the Let's Split (with pedals!) at home. Honestly I think I still type faster on a Macbook Pro keyboard, and that's the one that everyone hates. I'm plenty fast on the ones I built myself, but still just fine on that one. The big thing is that I will sometimes reach for a layer combo that isn't there on the MBP. It's very rare, since I think the staggered layout mostly hits my muscle memory preventing that, but it can happen that I'll almost hit a nonexistent chord on it. Never actually typed them out that I can remember though.

The ranking factors are here: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/artic...

LSAT and gpa are the only student specific ranking factors. And bar passage/placement, but those correlate with grades which correlate with LSAT/gpa.

It’s really what the schools care about: the rankings matter. LSAT/gpa are what affect their rankings, so they’re the governing interest.

Legacy is on their forms, but my point is it is not a large factor at the law school level.

All the top admissions consultants are part of that admissions forum. If your only source of knowledge is reading what schools say then you don’t really have experience in how what they do differs.
Amoebas most certainly live in the environment; this particular strain is found in warm fresh water throughout the United States.

Here is a report from a local newspaper:

https://thefacts.com/free_share/article_d044115f-7e55-5153-8...

It mentions positive tests for n. fowleri genetic material from the splash pad storage tank, from a nearby fire hydrant and from the hose storage bin at the deceased's home. Understand that this is not the same as discovering viable organisms in the water supply.
It would be difficult, though not impossible, for these organisms to survive the water treatment processes, including the final disinfection step. It is possible, if disinfection malfunctioned at the water plant.
If the treatment processes were working properly, one could still expect positive tests for genetic material for a variety of bacteria and viruses, but that would only indicate that they were present in the raw water source, not that they were viable organisms in the water supply.

A child died. It is important to try to discover the source of this tragedy. The people in this community are scared and suspicious of their drinking water. I hope the investigation uncovers the probable cause quickly.
Bear in mind, I have no idea how wholesalers work in this day and age. But once upon a time, a wholesaler like Costco sold stuff at cost (e.g. they charge what they paid the supplier for the product), and their revenue derived from the annual membership fees. So it's not in Costco's interest to start selling Kirkland Brand Extra Virgin Olive Oil at Safeway, because it wasn't a profit center to begin with. The whole point of selling their own branded product was:

a) To reduce costs by controlling the entire means-of-production

b) To ensure quality control on the product and build faith in the brand, which in turn

c) Pulls people into the store, forcing them to buy a Costco membership if they want the product.
Is this news for the Five Eyes countries?
I heard earlier last year about Australian ASD working with NSA and I'd assume GCHQ in Operation Glowing Symphony, where they hacked a bunch of ISIS recruiting sites.

I'd be surprised if they didn't have this to be honest.

It'd be interesting to know the magnitude of the capability. Can they crash the internet? or a person's life? or a power station? And it'd also be great to know what their target acquisition time time was and ROE.
I doubt this is actually true though - as if it were it would be a very, very clear case of anti-competitive behavior, and although FB has bought of the US government there would definitely be action from the EU.

> In the UK, a middle class earner already pays 40% income tax + 20% VAT + 13.8% NI, that's a neat 73.8% to the community already (not to mention the extra taxes, like the Council Tax or extra duties when you pour a gin). The labour wanted to increase this by 5-25 percentage point.

I am a very middle-class earner and I'd very happily pay more tax if it went to funding the NHS, metal health programs, real addition treatment (not criminalisation of addicts), house building, arts programs. In fact I have consistently voted for this.

Your post insinuates that these taxes are just taken with nothing gained. I am happy to pay council tax because I know that pays for services I benefit from, like rubbish collection, parks and landscape maintenance, street cleaning, etc. I am happy to pay duty on alcohol because I know it is an addictive substance, and although I don't suffer from addiction, others do, and in order for me to freely consume alcohol I have to accept that as a society we have to pay for those to do suffer because of it. I am happy to pay income tax and NI because I use NHS services, I went to a state funded school, I use the railways, etc.

I've got two ErgoDox Infinity keyboards that I believe are about as ergonomic as you can get until you're willing to have only one key per finger. I'm in the process of forming the mold for a chording keyboard (and hacking platform). My intention is to create separate left and right hand molds based on a spherical-section that match the shape of a relaxed hand (think of watching an accomplished pianist). I'm going to start out with a layout/chording scheme something like ASETNIOP (http://www.asetniop.com/) using some of the stenography techniques I've read about to make it more universal.

I should note that after using the Ergodox keyboards for a while, I definitely believe in letting the thumbs do more work!

> Now you change a single function. Classic linking would require the whole linking process and the write of 150 MB of code. Zig will only compile and patch a single function (when lucky: less than 1kB) and emit this.

I see, thanks. I think I was misled by the article's "the final executable depends on everything else and so any meaningful change to the code will invalidate it". My understanding now is that, since the Zig compiler knows exactly what has changed, unlike a traditional linker it will not invalidate the parts that haven't changed. Is that correct?

Every single key is completely configurable, so you can have space wherever you want (or in multiple places).

That said, it's pretty normal to put it under directly under the thumb, on the side you normally use for space.

I use an ErgoDash, essentially a flat version of the Dactyl Manuform, and have this layout [1]. Enter is under my right thumb, but if I hold down that key it becomes Ctrl. I could already touch-type, but it took a week or two of average use to get used to all the changes. Basic typing was quicker, but touch-typing `, [], = and the function keys took longer.

> I’ve admired Facebook’s stunning growth

Facebook s growth ended almost a decade ago, and its increasingly irrelevant
Each object is essentially an Actor in the Actor Model sense. It can send messages (fetches, and responses to fetches) to other objects and regular workers. Incoming requests are not blocked while waiting for previous events to complete.

Hence, a block is only atomic if it contains no "await" statements.

In the counter example, the only thing we "await" (after initialization) is the storage put()s. Technically, then, you could imagine that the put()s could be carried out in the wrong order. But, we're able to guarantee that even though put() is an async method, the actual writes will happen in the order in which put()s were called.

(For those with a background in capability-based security: Our system is based on Cap'n Proto RPC which implements something called E-order, which makes a lot of this possible.)

* Disclaimer: At this very moment, there are some known bugs where put()s could theoretically happen out-of-order, but we'll be fixing that during the beta.

I have a Magic Trackpad that is in a slightly angled iPhone holder so it "hovers" just in front and slightly over my keyboard. I can get to it without my hands leaving the keyboard (and in general the taps and glides of the trackpad are much better for my RSI).
Part of the reason they are cheaper is they are owned by the store and thus get cross-subsidies.

This is probably bad for the brand name products but very good for consumers.
