Imagine this hypothetic scenario just to demonstrate the point: Bitcoin becomes mass adopted, but not after 30 institutions end up hoarding ~60% of bitcoin in existence by some time in the next decade or two. Then by the year 2147, bitcoin is mined out, with the majority of those 30 institutions still holding the majority of their bitcoin stashes. The population is 17 billion with more being born into the world without any bitcoin to inherit...

Economically speaking, goods and assets will HAVE to become cheaper if no more bitcoin is to be made. Why? Well, if all the bitcoin has come into existence and is already owned by members of society, how will new born people who come to exist in the world - come to acquire bitcoin to do trade with? Especially considering that those 30 people/institutions had hoarded so much of it, and as the number of goods and people in society grows, there are fewer and fewer bitcoins available for everyone else to do trade with as time goes on?

Thus, in order to prevent liquidity crises - the price of wages, goods, and assets (even stocks) MUST become cheaper relative to bitcoin as more people and goods enter the world. Eventually, the price of things will eventually no longer be measured in bitcoins, but fractions of a bitcoin (satoshis).

One day a house may cost 700,000 satoshis. Decades later, as more houses and people come to in existence, a house may cost 70,000 satoshis. Those who held onto their bitcoin in their digital wallet, over the that timeframe, would be able to buy 10x more house simply because of the deflationary nature of the currency. Those who bought a house decades earlier would not be able to buy 9x more house just as easily...

Again, the numbers and scenario here I made up, but hopefully demonstrates the point. The hoarders and early adopters of the currency will be the rich who get relatively richer as time goes on, as more goods and people come to in existence forcing the cost of goods, assets, and wages to become cheaper. Those who don't own the currency (such as those yet to be born into the world) or those who have fewer amounts of it, would be at a relative wealth disadvantage as time goes on.

Mind you, I'm not arguing that bitcoin couldn't work. Just that it's inherently no better/less problematic than the inflationary currencies we already have (economically speaking), despite many proponents claiming otherwise.

> 1. The inventor would pay the R&D costs with no good way to recoup them, because he'd be competing against knockoffs who didn't have to make that investment, and can price accordingly. You'd be putting the actual inventor at a disadvantage.

Yes, the means of ensuring that research and development would be funded would have to change. This doesn't imply that there would be no r&d, rather the current r&d is being subsidized by laws that give legal privileges to certain corporations while prohibiting their competition from competing.

> 2. There'd be no incentive for inventors to actually publish designs for their inventions. Most people who argue against patents as a concept forget is that to get one you have to publish plans for your idea openly, which makes it much easier to copy. The limited monopoly is an incentive to part with that information. You'd end up leaving the public domain poorer.

Maybe things have changed - certainly when I looked at it a few years ago (around the time that google stopped supporting it) my understanding was that xmpp had no push notification support.

I’ve not read the whole treaty, but according to Wikipedia only the Dutch enjoy a system where the sentence has to match what an equivalent Dutch sentence should be.

You just have to wonder why this is.

And I have a theory. My theory is they did the risk benefit analysis of all this and decided this was the best way to go.

Right, and we quickly get into the grey area. If the US military has strong evidence that someone overseas is planning terrorist attacks on the US, or US forces, can they attack him first, or is a trial required? This quickly gets very nuanced, but it certainly isn’t black and white.
Not disagreeing with your Likelihoods but I'm not sure your evidence really makes sense. It does not really follow that a self-harm would always be avoided, the game of chess is all about sacrifice. Perhaps China thinks the West is short-sighted and would be politically bound to act against its long term interest, so why not? Maybe there are other reasons why you think the "CCP Virus" hypothesis is 360 stupid besides "self-harm"?
Two answers.

First, it was 96% identical. But that was in 2013. Presume it's being passed bat to bat every few days for 6 years, then at some point made the jump to another species, most likely in a wet market. It's really not unreasonable to imagine a 4% drift in that time.

Second, we don't identify every virus or every strain of every virus. Just because we found one that was 96% similar doesn't mean that all the other bats carry an identical virus. It's quite likely we found a distant cousin of the umpteenth-grand-parent of covid-19, and sequenced it.

> But in reality most queries are more complex, and the parsing time becomes negligible

Depends on your usage pattern. If you're actually doing a bunch of different ad-hoc aggregations (which is what SQL was designed for) then yes, query parse time is irrelevant. If you're using an RDBMS as a glorified key-value store (which is what most web applications tend to do) then it's very possible for pkey lookups to be the majority of your queries. (My point isn't really about performance, it's about SQL not being designed for that use style in general).

My wife and I lived and worked the first two weeks of December in precautionary quarantine, unable to leave an 86 square foot area, along with our luggage from a 1 month trip. I was within a couple of inches of being able to touch opposite walls (the narrow way) with my finger tips. Hong Kong changed the rules from quarantine-at-home to hotel quarantine while we were out. (We booked a place 2.25x as big, but had a problem with our booking 6 hours before check-in and had to find another booking last-minute.)

I thought I might go stir crazy or have elevated levels of conflict with my wife, but it worked out okay. On the other hand, I can understand why the Council of Europe deems 8 sq. m. (86 sq. ft.) the minimum prison cell size for two prisoners.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea affects between 6% and 17% of people, the vast majority of which are undiagnosed and untreated. Untreated sleep apnea contributes to an increased risk of many other health problems including hypertension, stroke, and heart disease.

Our first product, EnsoSleep, uses deep learning to save clinicians hundreds of hours per month by automating sleep study analysis. EnsoSleep tees up sleep clinicians with a nearly-complete analysis - they need only to review rather than to start from scratch.

We're small and growing having raised a $10M series A in May.

* Interoperability / Backend Engineer (Python, proprietary bit-banging data formats)

* Machine Learning Engineer (Python, TensorFlow, hundreds of terabytes of data to train on)

Not useless pedantry, particularly given the context and what was observed to have happened. These are technical terms and they have specific meanings, and the context was provided in the communications.

There was a genuine concern that people would not only consume the supply of mask product, but also that they'd think they were safe because they had a mask on, and then proceed to ignore other safety guidelines, thinking they were safe.

This in fact happens every day right now, but you know... it's just pedantry.

Again, if you look at the CDC statements, they are consistent with this. They said it could reduce the risk of spreading or contracting the disease (and the specifics of how that might work were not as well understood at the time), but that it would NOT prevent either of those scenarios.

If you think about it, communicating that "they don't work at all" but "we have to keep a stockpile of them for the people at highest risk" doesn't make any sense. It's not what happened.
Politely suggesting moderate policy reforms in the context of a business workshop dedicated to such matters is hardly "publicly fighting with regulators" let alone anything deserving of being disappeared.

Double-criminality is not an absolute requirement for the execution of an EAW. The most common categories of crime are explicitly excluded from such a requirement - precisely because the whole point of the EAW is to speed up extradition of the most common cases. It just happened that Spain attempted to prosecute Puigdemont for a crime that did not fall in any of those categories. That decision was mostly a sign that the Spanish government that initiated the process was not very competent on this subject.
