Yes, but also, when the next business cycle market crash happens, and the plebes are screaming about hedge funds, Citadel can also pick up the phone and call their 'friend' Janet Yellen, to introduce them to the Sec. Treasury, and that Senator who's putting putting up a huff about some new legislation.

Billionaires think differently about money than non-billionaires. Ordinary people use money to exercise control over their own lives. Billionaires use money to exercise control over other people's lives, and when that is your goal, a few extra billion dollars means a few extra tens of thousands of people you can put on payroll to do your bidding, whatever that might happen to be. It lets you do things like run for president or go into space. It's not my cup of tea, but it's not fair to call it "irrational". Some people just want different things.

What do you mean by debt leverage? I don't really see how you can have interest without allowing for borrowers to profit from that debt. Businesses use debt to finance their operations. I can get a mortgage and profit off the appreciation of my property.

I had never heard of that contractum trinius thing! But it really doesn't seem any different. The borrow has to pay insurance premiums to the lender instead of interest premiums. Its only different in name. Additionally, the borrow has to pay for a separate contract that will allow them to profit off the debt! That's debt leverage for you!

Yes, you'd probably find ones that might be able to work locally with the right community in the right location with low enough overheads to give it a punt to build it into a "destination" style place, in the same way some bookshops. You could try things like expanding into helping people writing their own games etc. Basically you'd be trying to serve the community.

I've wondered the same for a while, but the best I can figure is that up to this point the use of super capacitors hasn't been worth the added complexity.

Also, the power output of Li-ion batteries has gotten so high that the supercapacitors only offer power benefits for marginal use cases.

Yes, S5 is basically only good because of the by now known actors and overall production quality. It's a much less interesting story than any of the previous seasons and keeps rehashing narratives and tropes.

S1 was completely mindblowing, film noir in space in a well fleshed out world and awesome production quality, S2 OK, S3 was a "must see" but then it went downhill.
So how should they attend classes in a pandemic world?
I'll take a shot at arguing this.

There's a limited supply of living former presidents. Far fewer than the number of institutions looking to up their prestige by getting a former president to give a speech. How much do you think it should cost to get a former president to give a talk?

Here's another argument. Non-political celebrities also have very high speaking fees (or the equivalent). Yet obviously these celebrities aren't being tacitly bribed. What is your explanation for that?
Yes, all of them. Or possibly expanding capacity for each of the major vaccine types, to be ready when we know which one is the winner.

And then, yes, a lot of those factories would have ended up sold for scrap (or mothballed for future pandemics or mutations). But the few that worked then save trillions of dollars of value and hundreds of thousands of lives.

It's a simple matter of calculating expected values and investing accordingly. But thats not how our civilization works.

We might add a "macro" feature to add delays and combine multiple keypresses, but I don't see espanso becoming a general "automation" tool. There are already plenty of great options for that (including AutoKey)!

He's been writing on these subjects for years, and nothing in this article would be a surprise to anyone who has read him before or has even a passing familiarity with the pharma industry. (Also, he's always been totally up-front about his conflicts of interests and political views, and acknowledges when pharma companies screw up.)

If only we could all get on the same page about this as a society. The previous administration ran the single swampiest administration in American history. The current administration is dramatically less swampy, but still as swampy as a typical administration.

This is something that absolutely needs to be fixed in our society, and something that should unify 99% of people. But half of the country is under the delusion that the previous administration was somehow fixing this, simply because they said they were. This division makes it impossible to ever get anything done.
The political aspect is how to handle the virus. If you voice an opinion about lockdowns possibly being worse in the long run than the virus. Or.. you say something like "I think shutting down schools is a bad idea" you get labeled as a denier. I don't think that many people believe it doesn't exist at all but that's how the MSM portrays it. Taking precautions is fine but the extremes some of these cities have taken against actual scientific evidence has made the entire thing political. I can't really blame some people for getting fed up with all of it when the same people who are giving these orders are defying them like they themselves don't really believe them.

> Shouldn't it be easier to explain a general concept than a specific one?

It depends. Are you an abstract or a concrete thinker? That's one axis of one the standard ways of describing personalities. (Yeah, I know, psychology... but it does seem to describe an actual difference in how people think.)

Now, people with one kind of personality can learn to think in the other way, but they won't find it as easy.
Thank you. The upfront cost of the sequencer sure makes it tempting at first sight.

My desired hobbyist use case is to key out plants, lichens and mushrooms that I find in the field. I have the bioinformatics knowhow just need the hardware. 3-4h seems lika a long time for a genome that is <30k nucleotides long. Mushrooms on average seem to have almost as many genes as coronaviruses has nucleotides. I guess partial sequences (and thus reduced comp time?) might do the trick but it's probably hard to target those partial reference sequences with a long-read method like NanoPore.
That all depends what you want to do with the data. For assembling new genomes, they produce very long reads that are essential for "scaffolding". They're also great for structural variant detection (large rearrangements of DNA). DNA sequencing is not a monolith and there's room for lots of different complimentary technologies.
Freedom is the ideology that America was founded on, I'd assume most Americans prefer to have their nation's values followed. Most software is chosen on ideological grounds, Zoom was picked because it's popular not because its the best tool.

The author notes that they could have decreased MALLOC_ARENA_MAX but it would have decreased throughput. But how much does switching to TCMalloc affect the throughput of the application compared to decreasing MALLOC_ARENA_MAX? (And if the answer is that it's insignificant, why isn't it the default?)
Not sure why people are down voting you - unlike chemical energy storage solutions capacitors can indeed dump all their energy at once. The literal definition of an explosion.

Not saying it should preclude them from use; indeed I think super capacitors are the only thing that will make electric cars acceptable. Just saying that it’s something that needs to be addressed as part of their design.

Huge amounts of energy that have the potential to be released instantaneously should ALWAYS be respected/considered and not glossed over, especially for something intended to be deployed widely in vehicles where accidents/physical destruction does happen.

I believe the command you give to check if bitcode is enabled is not entirely correct. I was recently debugging an issue where bitcode was not generated for a framework I was using, and my build failed complaining about the framework missing bitcode. While that framework did have `__LLVM` segments, there was no `__bitcode` subsegment.

There’s some discussion around that on this SO question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32808642/how-to-check-if... (but also no definitive answer)
Is the price a question of scale? If this technology would become commonplace, would the price go down? Are there patents that would prevent cheaper chemical production?
If the price doesn't change in between then yes, but buying when the price is low, selling again when the price is high, and then shorting the stock while the price is high and buying it back again when the price is low, is the very definition of HF trading.

Using public funds to teach students proprietary software or to force them to use proprietary software has always seemed undesirable to me, however if there isn't free software that is a competitive alternative (weasel words) it seems hard to argue this point. I might even say that there is a more fundamental level which is that teacher's need to accept documents formatted in an open font in addition to proprietary fonts.
So what? After you’ve become the fed chair you’re no longer allowed to make money? Suddenly the pool of people who will ever agree to take the job gets smaller and it will be held by much wealthier people on average.

Or I suppose you could say that anyone who has held a government position, left it, and then ever made money in the private sector is ineligible for future government work. In effect all this does is just bar past officials from being elected again. This again reduces the pool of qualified talent by a lot. Janet Yellen is probably the most qualified person in the country to be the fed chair, it seems like she should be allowed to imo.

I would love a copy/paste stack utility. The ability to copy multiple selections and then paste them in order. For instance you could press ctrl+c five times in your source and then switch windows to the destination and then presss ctrl+v five times to get everything copied and then pasted in one go. Maybe allow toggling between FIFO and LIFO. I know MS Office has a clipboard utility that keeps a history but as far as I know it doesn't do a stack paste and it doesn't exist outside of the Office suite.

I think you'll find this would save a ton of time in office jobs that require a lot of excel work.
I've been in software architect roles on and off during my career (currently I'm on) and I feel like I've read similar discussions to the ones in the comments many times over the years.

But no matter how you cut it, you can't escape software architecture when doing software development. One may call the architects principal engineers, gremlins or senior developers, the role may be covered by one person or multiple and the end result may be better or worse, documented or undocumented - in the end someone worked on the software architecture.

Depending on the organization and its needs, the role may be strongly focused on technical aspects or straddling engineering and product management. A company with very specialized roles will want architects to take care of the architecture, whereas one with more flexibility might require that they also work on requirements, talk to customers, mentor developers, manage a product, etc. Some of these combinations are less than ideal.

Every time I did application architecture I was also writing code, but that's not easy and may be an anti-pattern. Typically architecture tasks (especially the documentation) are neglected under time pressure and the people revert to doing what they know best, which is coding.
Application architects should be very familiar with their application domain, applicable algorithms, idoms and patterns, etc because they're essentially part of the development team.

Now I'm closer to the "architect that doesn't code" stereotype, doing systems architecture. And indeed, I do not write any code besides small applications I use to validate my assumptions or evaluate and analyze solutions. I don't remember writing one line of production code in the past years and this is neither unusual nor problematic.
I work with several development teams, ensuring that their components stay technically coherent and fulfill the requirements of the system. I start by translating business requirements into technical requirements and then work together with each team observing their progress, iterating over our solutions until we are feature complete. Specifically this involves intra-component interface design, software design (in my case - how components behave and interact with each-other and the platform), architecture documentation, application architecture review, code review, etc. And meetings, tons and tons of meetings with development teams, POs, project managers, testers, lead architects, etc.

I do find that working close to the metal grounds you as an architect. Whenever I do too much diagramming and abstract concept design I feel like I'm losing something important and this is where testing your concepts comes in.
But there's no general rule about what developers expect from architects. I've had teams in the same projects expect a finished concept while others were happy to implement something by themselves with minimal to no input from me as long as the external preconditions were being met.

RMS has spent his life advocating for a very particular right - the right to free software. I'm not sure he cares about other rights, like disabled people's rights to access technology, when they are in conflict with his preferred core right.
I think this is a theory of mind issue. People find motivation in various ways. I admit that payroll software sounds like one of the most boring things imaginable, but it's also one of the most useful and relevant things imaginable as well, since it has a direct impact on people and makes many things easier. I can definitely understand a specialized programmer taking pride in their craft. And why shouldn't they? They're solving real problems and not making superfluous flashy products or skinner boxes.
They could be sending a specific message to a specific audience. Maybe to the folks who have their hands on the levers of the machine.

> How much do you think it should cost to get a former president to give a talk?

That's not the right question. The question is whether ex-Presidents ought to accept these bribes. Compare the post-Presidencies of Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, starkly different.

> Yet obviously these celebrities aren't being tacitly bribed. What is your explanation for that?

Celebrities aren't in positions of public service, so the whole concept of a "bribe" doesn't apply.
Anyone can spin up a website for negligible cost and put in place whatever legal content they so choose. If government interferes with that, then you have a claim to censorship.

Short of that though -- if a private company like Facebook or Twitter declines to host your content, that is entirely their right. It's not a public utility.

Free speech means you can say whatever you like. It doesn't mean you have a right to a platform and an audience.
I think it's misleading for the article to call this a dongle. It's a $1k USB device with expensive consumables, more like a printer.
