> they can mess with you more or less with impunity

a.k.a you may beat the rap but you can't beat the ride
Socialists deny any connection here because of optics concerns, of course; but considering the number of people killed by the USSR, they should probably just find new branding altogether.
A calm tone won't necessarily make the cop calm, but a bold/agressive tone will almost certainly make the cop respond in kind. When I decline a request from a cop, I make sure to do it with a sugared tongue. The cop isn't entitled to the 'sorry' in "No, sorry", but that little indignity might make the difference so I'm willing to suffer it.
J&J Announces Single-Shot Covid-19 Vaccine Met Primary Endpoints
I think a lot of the appeal comes from reducing complexity, not adding it.

My first playthrough was a rube-goldberg spaghetti mess. Scaling out specific resources near the end became a very painful process.

I'm in my second playthrough, and the goal is to build a factory WITHOUT all the complexity. How can I cleanly scale out resource production without things becoming a hot mess? How can I build flexible re-usable subsystems that don't restrict systems downstream?

Solving simple problems with complex solutions is one thing (over-engineering) but solving a complex problem with an elegant solution is much harder. And factorio is full of complex problems.
I don’t think videos would help. Their instructions are already exceptionally well made, and I’ve yet to see any IKEA furniture that is hard to assemble.
It does sound absurd, but I’m fully expecting someone to try this out “in the name of health and productivity.”

> Also N95s have to be fit tested to be effective. So randos buying N95s and wearing them will frequently not work.

That was the excuse doctors were giving me in March that they all suddenly dropped. Are N95s without perfect fits worse than cloth masks, which don't have fit tests either? Are they better than no masks? Was Facebook wrong to stock up on N95s for employees during wildfire season?

> So the overall adherence is higher with cloth coverings and have a net higher benefit.

This is one of the worst things public health experts seemed to just be totally wrong about. They were obsessed with "risk compensation", where if you make things safer in the wrong way people will act riskier so it doesn't help. But this doesn't actually seem to happen.
This is definitely not the Buddhist view, which, clumsily reduced, is that you want to root out the cause of the anger, which is not actually external to you. (i.e. Your buddy doing something didn't make you angry; you chose at some level to get angry when your buddy did something.)

There is no exception for "good anger" or "motivating anger".

At least, I'm pretty sure that applies to all strains of Buddhism, but there are many, so YMMV.
What is the difference between fast and 'performant'?
That's true. The cops would have to coordinate with the DA to make that happen. Which they would never bother to do unless they really needed your testimony, which is why it's a good way to get them to buzz off.
That doesn't mean anything though: vastly more millionaires are from usa than from Dubai, it doesn't say anything about any place, you can replace "millionaires" with any category and likely end up with a true statment, USA just has way more people. Those with humble beginnings are most of us, off course* there are going to be more humble-born <$anything> than privileged-born <$anything>, that's just how populations work.

*: in fact, merely being "humble" is still relatively privileged, a vast sea of humans exists where internet and food and clean water are fleeting dreams
Isn't that a first order effect though?

A second order effect would be researching a life-saving drug for a lifestyle condition. You research means people have less incentive to live healthily and end up dying even sooner from some other diet-related disease. The disease you cured would have scared them "straight" diet-wise.
They called themselves that because the Nazis were, in large part, a reaction against the threat of communism. It was becoming scarily popular, and what better way to pre-empt the revolution than become an early, sorta-kinda-but-not-really incarnation of it?

As in: "yeah sure socialism is good but OUR kind, not that kind".
Nevertheless the Culture was non-heirarchical right from the start. Also is "libertarian Marxism" very different from anarchism? Most anarchists are Marxists.

PS there is an argument that the sheer power of the Minds means that they essentially have had control over humans for a long time, and I am sympathetic to this. However, at least that control is not institutionalised.

> Yes, I think Factorio's engine is more complex and difficult to implement well than a typical AAA game with rich graphics and "realistic" physics.

I think this is maybe true, but it's not a fair comparison. The real comparison is how much effort would go into making factorio with all of its polish in a 3d world rather than a 2d world.

Factorio's technical impressiveness (?) Comes from how well it's designed and implemented. The limitations that it imposes are part of the reason it runs so well, and also what make it such a great game.

> The physics system is a complex bit of math but is fairly isolated from the rest of the engine and has relatively few entities to process. If it gets things "wrong" in minor ways, the player is unlikely to tell.

The difference between doing the above for physics and graphics is orders of magnitude in how expensive they are, and how complicated they are to implement. You're right that most people don't notice when they go slightly wrong, but they often go catastrophicly wrong. (Much more often in 3d than in 2d). Factorio skirts around this by not running a general purpose physics sim for the game logic, and constraining the problem space (which to me is even more impressive than getting a 3d physics engine right)

I find this refreshing actually.

What reason? Because it demystifies the room. It pulls the veil off and we get to see behind the curtain.

Strangely enough, I had a fleeting thought that this is why few firms went under and most got bailed out. I actually had this thought after watching the Big Short or another Wall Street movie about the 2008 crash. I thought that it was strange that Lehman was the odd one out and it struck me as a frat party. Only the cool kids survive.

@numair, you sound very candid and forthright. I appreciate it. I find it's difficult for people to mask their tone and reading this honest tone is refreshing. I wish you success in your endeavors.
Two quick questions: 1) does your comment above mean that it makes little to no sense to apply if a startup is in different (albeit, somewhat adjacent) domain: mine targets materials science and engineering; 2) how do feel about solo founders?
That's an interesting take, I think I agree.

My biggest problem with Factorio is that after a few hours it starts feeling like programming, which is why it attracts a lot of programmers, but it lacks any tooling or QoL features that remove some of the frustrations of programming.

I can't add tests to ensure that refactoring my belt system doesn't break some process on the other side of the map.

I can't place a breakpoint to trigger a debugger and step through a tricky piece of logic.

I can't raise exceptions on unexpected behavior and handle it in a sane way.

Some of these are contrived examples and I can't imagine what the UI would look like, and they might be achievable via debug mode or some mods, but I haven't explored much outside of the base game.

So as the factory grows (and it must grow!) the game doesn't have any mechanisms to help you deal with the complexity. After a while it becomes a chore to manage, and I usually end up thinking that I'd rather enjoy programming instead. Which after spending a work day doing at my day job, I rarely have the motivation to do in my spare time, and when I do, I'd rather invest it on side projects than on Factorio.

Still, it's one of the greatest games ever made, and the thrill of watching it all work when it does work is exhilirating, much like programming. :)
Yes. They all use the same underlying vendor to clear their actual trades, and that vendor raised the necessary collateral for all of its clients (the platforms) at the same time.
Newton was a crank w/r/t to his alchemy. Likewise, Pauling with his Vitamin C. Doesn't invalidate any of their other work, but it does mean we shouldn't just take their authority as relevant in areas outside their core competencies.

W/r/t Turing, a person's sexual preferences aren't even in the same universe as someone's unsubstantiated personal beliefs about how the world works. Perhaps you would want to retract that piece? While I don't agree with you overall, I think your argument would be stronger if you excluded his example.

I think you're looking at the "crank / non-crank" evaluation as an attribute of a person. I'm suggesting it's more relevant to use a person/field-of-study grain to apply the label. (It probably also makes sense to break it down further, but at some point, the complexity outweighs the benefit.)

> (EU) can also stop exports of the vaccines as did UK in the contracts

It's different--one is an executive action, the other contractual duty--but yes. Moreover, it doesn't solve the problem. The EU wants doses made in the UK. The EU doses have already been exported to the UK.

This whole thing looks incompetent on the EU's part, from the outside. First, the delays in signing. Second, the sloppiness of the contract. And third, the incompetence of the post-problem situation. The EU has something Britain wants--a trade deal. Strike a deal with the UK to get their vaccines. Instead, we have a song and dance, empty threats and name calling.

The best examples would be many vaccines - the polio vaccine, the flu vaccine, the BCG vaccine for TB, the rabies vaccine , the measles vaccine (not the modern MMR - which was created at Merck - but the older measles-only vaccine) and others. Paracetamol/acetaminophen is a very common drug that was also developed in a University setting.

The Pasteur Institute in France is a major source of non-corporate medical research, at least historically. There are similar institutes in many countries which produce both research and actually manufacture drugs to be used in public health campaigns directly.
I guess that shows how uniformly the convention is followed that I wasn't aware of that! I remember finding a class in a PR that had been renamed without renaming the file, and we were surprised it compiled. It must not have been a public class.

How does one actually _get_ a lawyer on the scene? If I haven't been arrested, am I eligible for a public defender? Do I need to already have one on retainer?

Saying you can only sell an asset but not buy is clearly going affect the price - regardless of the reason they did it.

If a broker can't do their job they should be forced to shut down completely until they can.

Its pretty clear they don't have the liquidity/assets to handle their customers transactions. Letting brokers manipulate asset prices so they can avoid shutting down is a dangerous precedence to set. Really hope IB/RH and everyone else involved gets blown up by this.

Usury in a basic definition means lending money with interest, and the collection of that interest. [1]

Lending money involves risk. The only way to offset risk is with potential gain - ie, interest. You're not going to loan someone a few million, knowing you might lose it all, and having no expected gain.

If you don't have loans of any kind, you basically don't have a market. You can't form most kinds of businesses, you can't invest in equipment, etc etc. Even in strict communism where the government owns the things that allows businesses to run you need capital to buy materials and perform research before you can sell products.

If you can't buy and you can't sell, you don't have any modern conception of a market.

Trump: US Should Stop Paying to Defend Countries That Can Protect Selves (1987)
"NEW YORK (AP) _ Real estate developer Donald J. Trump bought full-page ads in three major U.S. newspapers to say the United States should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to protect themselves.

The advertisements appeared in Wednesday’s New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe at a total cost of $94,801, said Trump spokesman Daniel Klores."

That's why you ask for it in writing. They have to get that from the DA, and while it may not be a perfect shield, it's pretty solid.

Either they go do the legwork or you avoid random liability for whatever you might have said.
What permissions do you ask for?
Yep. But, without the boss providing the capital with which labor can provide that wealth, there isn't much wealth to begin with, which makes that a dubious critique of capitalism, when there are way better ones (or at least ones of unsocialized, "Après moi, le déluge", American capitalism).
You create the formula and make it public so that it can be produced easily. Then, many manufacturers, ranging from generic drug manufacturers to public health institutes can produce the drug at cost, even in third world countries.
You're right about this. In more adversarial cases it's probably best to tell the police that you will talk to them, but only in a formal interview with your lawyer present (even if this isn't true, and you don't want to talk to them, and you don't have a lawyer and don't intend to get one). Telling them this, though, doesn't give them as much license to get nasty.

The debates about what counts as socialism and what counts as capitalism are really unproductive, because people are engaging in redefinition wars, just as we've seen with modern activist redefinitions of other terms. I think it is more useful to talk about specific elements of capitalist or socialist governance and then map those to the countries that feature those elements. This way we can speak more precisely about things like tax policies, free market competition, safety nets, etc. in isolation rather than wage a broad war of labels and fearmongering.

With that in mind, I think in the US what a lot of politicians on the left are advocating for when they preach socialism is not so much socialism, but transferism: https://fee.org/articles/transferism-not-socialism-is-the-dr...

> Transferism is a system in which one group of people forces a second group to pay for things that the people believe they, or some third group, should have. Transferism isn’t about controlling the means of production. It is about the forced redistribution of what’s produced.

Wanted to add another comment after learning what TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) meant. This is a really interesting grey area. There appears to be validity to some of it, some of it is supernatural fluff. Out of the evidence-led examples, it's possible some of the effect is placebo.

There are many layers, some full of cranks and some not. Maybe this is a field where generalization just isn't useful? I dunno, but wanted to think out loud and thank you for making me think a bit more than planned today :).
Same problem, for sure, but we’re taking a different approach.

A SAAS tool has a hard time with complex questions because healthcare data is messy and results will be imperfect.

Therefore we feel strongly about building a human - lead service thats optimized by software.

Every health system employs clinical pharmacists to manually do this today, so we use that as our stake in the ground, and so far we’re finding we’re way more efficient.

According to the article it's OK for the cops to lie about almost anything. There's not a lot to stop them saying "I have the authority to grant immunity" or "I am an official from the DA's office" or "I just called the DA and he approved the immunity" or "I just called the DA and he approved the immunity and he sent this confirmation by fax".

Some of these might not really be de jure OK for the cops to tell you, but would you want to rely on a court upholding that?
I think they need to clamp down on these sorts of things. We need to advocate for the common user who are susceptible to these exploits optimized for human brain trickery.
You would think that Java is maybe not the right tool for the job, if you have to write your own Runtime first.
In the anecdote the student did ask for immunity, but only after talking to a lawyer first. It was the lawyer's advice to ask for immunity.

The bigger lesson was not to ask for immunity, but to refuse to say anything without your lawyer present. (...and then, obviously, to only say things if your lawyer advises you to do so.)

There is no market for the vaccine at the consumer level, but the vaccine is still bought and sold in a capitalist market, with states as buyers. Governments that could afford this have done what they can for their populations, that's great, but many countries were unable to access the initial doses and are not allowed to manufacture the vaccine themselves.

The situation has improved since the beginning of the year, and some companies are better than others at supporting public health.
OpenCL works on Intel GPUs, while CUDA doesn't because CUDA is an NVidia technology.

SIMD is... pretty much all GPUs do. There's a few scalar bits here and there to speed up if-statements and the like, but the entire point of a GPU is to build a machine for SIMD.
