It is going to be a problem because in an inflationary monetary system, you need to give out loans at a constantly increasing rate in order to pay off the debt of the previous generation.
If the new generation is not growing fast enough, they will not be able to afford to take out enough new debt to buy assets from the previous generation (thus allowing the previous generation to pay of their debts from the sale or lease of real estate), then prices could crash quickly when the previous generation starts defaulting on their loans.

It's also why real estate prices are so high in Japan. The older generation needs to squeeze out as much as they can from each member of the younger generation since there are so few of them in numbers.

Interesting, your viewpoint made me realize that they are probably right but the argument is kinda of skewed.

Rather than successful people say, "No", successful people are in place to pick and choose what projects to say no to. How can we modify our environment, our skills, our place in the graph of actions and results so that we have things to say no to.

We need to differentiate ourselves, have purpose, be needed and have things to offer that others want. Some compete head on and try to become the best in something, others rush to what is new, but the ultimate destinations are similar. One stands out in some metric.

Sounds like the advice now reads, differentiate yourself and broadcast your capabilities so that you have the opportunity to say, "No". And it isn't ultimately the "No", it is the "Yes" to the right project but they are rare, so we need numbers to find the right opportunities.

A large number of people suffered a small amount of efficiency loss. The number of utils or QALY or whatever metric you want lost was probably fairly substantial.

The line of reasoning “well, no one died” is a classic example of humans’ unfortunate tendency to round small numbers to zero in utilitarian calculations, which leads to all sorts of bad decisions when you’re dealing with things that effect lots of people in small ways.

If it's a controversial topic (e.g. history of Tibet), yes.

If it's just an article about the history of pianos or CPUs or something, the probability of misinformation is much lower, the consequences of being misinformed are much lower, and I don't usually bother. Many times I just browse Wikipedia because I want to learn about weird animals or off-the-beaten-path places on Earth or culture or something like that.

(By the way, primary sources also sometimes have their drawbacks as well; they can often be politically motivated, biased and not tell you the full story, and Wikipedia is effectively peer-reviewed for a lot of articles.)

Probably because it spins on retrying when it gets blocked.
Active->standby failover is usually that way because it doesn't support active->active. Which likely means that the active->standby system is bolted on with some 3rd party technology that isn't integrated with the application.

I've been involved with a number of failover systems where even when it worked there was the possibility that you might hit a _known_ condition that causes the fail-over to fail.

Pretty scary knowing the product your working on has a couple critical holes in the fail-over that management papered over, which while rare could happen. A lot of these solutions are the equivalent of pull the power on one machine move the disk to the other and power it on. The assumption being that the storage mirror/replication/etc being used to maintain transnational consistency for the "move the disk" part is actually going to be consistent when that happens.

This happened (or at least, was detected) an hour before trading opened. It should have failed over then. To me, that means that you could validly test your failover an hour before trading opened (or, perhaps wiser, an hour after trading ended). If it doesn't work, you learned without causing a user-facing outage.
I think you and I are agreeing, but it's not obvious ;-)

> However system B might take longer to flush it's hardware/software buffer and the message arrives at mc before message A, for example.

There are two message As in your system, the one sent to system b, and the one consumed by hardware mc. Let's call them Ab and Amc.

In that situation, message B is a consequence of message Ab which can be tracked, and at system mc (depending on semantics) it might be necessary to use that tracking to process message Amc before message B, at least logically.

For example message Ab/Amc might be "add new user Foo the our database with standard policy", and system B might react with "ok, my job is to set the policy for new users, I'll tell mc to add permission Bar to user Foo then activate Foo".

That works out fine as long as the logical order relation is maintained, and system mc, the database, processes message Amc first, regardless of arrival order.

Dependency tracking can ensure that (without clocks or timestamps), even if messages are transmitted independently. For example by message B containing a header that says it comes logically after message A.

The pubsub queue can also guarantee that order (without clocks or timestamps or dependency tracking), provided all messages go through the same pubsub system, and Ab+Amc are fanned-out by the pubsub system rather than sent independently by A to each destination. All bets are off if Ab and Amc take other routes.

> If you are consuming from sources which you cannot control the accuracy of the clocks, then you must inherently either reduce your reliance on the need for accuracy (many Windows systems have horrendous clock discipline in their software implementation) or find a way of ensuring accuracy. E.g. close proximity NTP or close proximity PTP etc etc.

If you think Windows is bad, try just about any cloud VM, which has a virtual clock and is stalled all the time in the guest, including just after the guest reads its virtual clock and before using the value :-)

I prefer systems which rely on logical ordering guarantees as much as possible, so clock drift doesn't matter.

When you are rely on a global clock order to ensure correct behaviour, you have to slow down some operations to accommodate for clock variance across the system, as well as network latency variance (because it affects clock synchronisation).

If you rely on logical order, then there's no need for time delays; no upper speed limit. Instead you have to keep track of dependencies, or have implicit causal dependencies. And it's more robust on real systems because clock drift and jumps don't matter.

In practice you need some clock dependence for timeouts anyway, and there are protocol advantages when you can depend on a well synchronised clock. So I prefer to mix the two for different layers of the protocol, to get advantages of both. Unfortunately for correct behaviour, timeouts are often the "edge case" that isn't well tested or correctly implemented at endpoints.
A large industry is setup, with how many [thousands] of people employed and expected to execute on their jobs related to this market, and they just lost a whole day of doing their job.

So you have the opportunity costs for those people being paid to do nothing for a day and generating nothing in the form of revenue. Rightly or wrongly, a significant amount of profit generated in the stock market is from short term moves / games, not from buying and holding for long periods.

Second, and I don't know if this is the case, but what about companies that were issuing equities to raise cash on that day? They had geared up entire investment banking teams, with customers orders lined up, and had a whole game plan for executing the offerings.

That all went up in smoke and they will have to re-prepare everything for another day. That's true to IPOs, general follow-on offerings, to some extent ATM programs, etc.

Those are a couple ideas, maybe there are more?

Hash functions represent a chunk of data with fewer bits than the original data, hence there's always a _chance_ of a collision. With cryptographic hashes, the output of the hash function is relatively large in size, making the probability of an accidental hash collision vanishingly small. For example, sha-256 hash algorithm can result in over 115 quattuorvigintillion different values.

The hashing functions used with hash tables typically reduce the hashed value to one of only tens or hundreds of values, making collisions unavoidable. Typically, a hash table will try and manage the number of available slots to be roughly equal to the number of items stored in the hash to achieve performance that is a good balance of lookup time and memory requirements. For an extreme example, In Ruby, hashes of less than a certain size (6, I believe) are just represented internally as a list because the overhead of using an actual hash table is greater than just iterating through every item in the list.

Life changed much faster than we (my wife and I) anticipated and we moved out of our first house after three years.

Honestly, we thought we'd stay in our first house longer.

As far as house #2 goes: It was new construction, and wherever bulbs were provided, they were LED. We even have some LED fixtures where there's no bulb. (Meaning, it's assumed that the fixture will work so long that there is no "bulb" for me to change. When it stops working I need to replace the entire fixture instead of a bulb.)
> Corporate interests don't care for children because they get in the way of profits.

Baloney. People having more children is the dream scenario for all business--more children = more consumers = more economic growth.

This has nothing to do with some evil corporate boogeyman.

Just look at the data. There's a direct correlation between rising standards of living and having less children. This is because, if you give humans education and birth control, it turns out most of them don't actually want to have 8 kids.

Rather than a vineyard, perhaps you'd want to seek out a "custom crush" facility? You could locate an experienced hobbyist who wants to make a small amount of high-end wine, but doesn't have a full set of facilities. And you could locate several different makers, giving you multiple chances per year of finding a set of growing parameters to show progress towards an exceptional wine.

Making a ton of wine at a custom crush house could cost around $5,000, so you're talking about people with multi-thousand-dollar hobbies. You might be able to talk them into taking a flyer on expensive, experimental grapes. It would be a lot of work to handle a lot of sales one ton at a time, but perhaps easier than finding a high-end winemaker willing to take a risk on unproven growing techniques.

It's not just the monetary instrument, it's also the rules of international trade. Bilateral/multilateral "free" trade agreements are created to enable capital to move across borders while movement of people/labor is limited or less privileged.

For example, you can relatively easily buy citizenship in the US, canada, most of europe, etc if you have enough capital. But if you are a person or worker, you have to jump through a lot more hoops to get citizenship in another country.

The world is capital-centric rather than people or labor centric.

What happens if the failover fails as well?
The comment you responded to above poses a valid question - what should we do if empirical data seems to contradict our own lived experience?

"The data" is not homogeneous or infallible, nor can it fully describe all phenomena it's applied to. At best, data can provide us with a rough approximation of the landscape it attempts to describe. In this particular case, I think that landscape is smaller than the territory established by the OP's linked blog post (which seems to transcend the easily-measurable world of simple economic indicators).

Would you consider it prudent to dismiss one's lived experience offhand, at the mere site of a few quickly-pasted links to tweets containing simple, decontextualized data points? What, then, if another commenter subsequently provides contradictory data? Scrolling through a typical HN thread would turn into a nauseating ride on some sort of intellectual see-saw.

If the commenter you responded to is "not convinced" by some tweeted factoids claiming that Americans are working less and making more than ever, does that imply that they're ideologically motivated?

I don't think so, no more than I think your reply to them implies that your own motivation is ideological. Without additional context, those "facts" don't significantly imperil any specific worldview.
I'm not convinced "an easier way" is what the author was going for.
This is probably closer to the truth. It's not a coincidence that Japan was the first developed country to experience stagflation and is experiencing these problems.
I, like the average person here it seems, fail to see the issue here, but that aside, this is most likely not a large enough sample size[0] to be a highly trusted statistic. That said, let's look at this from a different perspective.

> The Apple Watch abnormal pulse detection feature was designed to address asymptomatic (so-called silent) atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting over 30 million people worldwide[0].

So, assuming there's 8 billion people in the world, this affects .375% of the population. Assuming this was a statistically significant study, that means that if everyone in the world had an apple watch, this would only let 300 million people know they potentially had an AFIB event. Now, an excess of 270 million might seem excessive--but I would weigh excessive with the burden this event puts on the medical community. The primary means of diagnoses for an AFIB event is an ECG[1], which costs $150 on Amazon. Assuming they don't have to buy an ECG for each individual, I would assume the cost to most health care clinics for diagnosis is around $100. However, this test

1. Does not have to be administered by anyone other than a nurse.
2. Only has to be administered once in a lifetime for a diagnosis.

So now 10% doesn't seem that bad given that the burden is distributed to the global healthcare system over time. Keep in mind too, even if every single one of these people visited the ER, then this would be completely in line with the fact that only 10% of ER visits result in an admission[2] to the hospital.

My girlfriend had that symptoms for few days, so I've told her to make the test, she got back and told me that the test was positive and we've got 2 weeks quarantine, it was august 26th.

The very next day I got really painful arthralgia (august 27th). The next day was fever that lasted till the thursday (august 29th). On the next day (30th august) I was feeling good, though that that was the end. Oh boy how I was wrong. Later on the same day I've had issues with breathing, friday night was nightmare with short shallow breathing and fever, that scared me a lot, never feel that way. I've gad few times pneumonia when I was a kid, but this was next level. The next day was better, so I didn't call an ambulance as they were already overwhelmed, but got to the hospital by myself and did the test with positive result. On the monday (september 2nd) I started coughing a lot, but the next day was much worse. With tuesday I started having headaches, dizziness and ear ache.. Coughing, headaches and dizziness lasted more than a week, with better and worse days.

It was the worst experience of the last few years, and it started with loss of smell an taste.
