With four years of hindsight, the estimate of DBaaS and managed database hosting companies of being <10M revenue stood out at me. MongoDB Atlas hit $85M revenue in Q4 2020 (https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/03/10/mo...), which means that assuming RethinkDB's estimates were correct, the market they wrote off as too small was actually about to explode into something much larger.

That's not to say that they would have succeeded if they'd gone after that though; instead we might have a blog post about how they correctly predicted where the market would go and simply ran out of money before the market got there.

The US healthcare quality is bad, regardless of how much you pay, period.

For knee problems, like you I went to SE Asia as a medical tourist. I was provided with a taxi waiting for me at the airport, a translator who stayed with me at all times, a dedicated hospital administrative assistant for more complex issues like obtaining a copy of my exams, having them send to the doctor of my choice, obtaining the CV of the doctors so I could decide on the best one etc.

But the best was the fine dining options, as I do not like hospital food.

And when I was tired of the hospital and decided an hotel would be better for my mood, the doctor I had selected visited me in my suite, every day - with a nurse. If I wanted anything, I still had the translator the rest of the time.

It's not even a question of costs - that quality of service is just not available in the US, except maybe outside of some VIP setting where it may be shiny but the healthcare is mediocre (friends strongly recommended against such options)

Years later, I no longer have to care about costs, but I still won't go to a US hospital.

I have been keeping up with the developments in the crypto space from the outside for the past few years.

Never really invested in any currency as it always felt too risky / speculative for my taste.

It wasn't until last year with the upcoming of DeFi (Decentralized Finance) that I decided to get involved somehow, instead of just watching innovation happen. I also think this really has a lot of potential.

So I started investing my free time for building an experimental decentralized options exchange [1] in order to develop myself / become qualified in this field.

Worst case scenario I end up with a cool project on GitHub that never took of but provided me an awful lot of knowledge and some new friends.

Pretending two wallet addresses are unaffiliated prior to a transaction is trivial to arrange and with some forethought would be invisible to blockchain analysis.

I would like to ask you why start with cryptocurrencies, that only account for 0.6% of world energy consumption, when we can dream big and tackle the issue once and for all by banning air travel.

Why cryptocurrencies of all the energy hungry sectors? There are way lower hanging fruits than crypto.

Pretty much the entire sector is bad.

In general, it's much better to be in a market where you customers cannot do you your job, not just one where they don't want to do your job. In the latter markets, they start asking "Why should I pay you to do something I can do myself?", or just start doing it themselves, and that holds down the price you can charge.

This applies to a lot of familiar service businesses as well: housekeepers, gardeners, delivery/taxi/rideshare drivers, childcare, etc. Think of how much a doctor gets paid vs. a nurse vs. a home healthcare worker. The difference is all in skills that the provider can do but the customer cannot.

The Hunt Is.on
I feel like the market for any fundamentally hard problem is bad, simply because it either solves a problem people didn't know they had, does it in a way that requires educating people for them to be able to use it or requires scale to be effective.

Take the internet for example - before the internet existed, the 'market' for the internet sucked.

For me, any company that failed due to solving too ambitious of a problem is the best kind group of people to invest into again and again until they succeed and succeed big. The people running it will have learned the easy lesson of solving a smaller problem faster, while retaining the chops to actually solve hard problems.

All too often, people fail because they solve too small of a problem - there was a recent discussion about that on here regarding a macos calendar widget.

There is a very valid reason that hospitalization only insurance was not allowed.

The whole point of requiring everyone to get insurance is so that you don't have just the sickliest and oldest people getting insurance. Insurance is meant to spread the risk amongst everyone who pays premiums.

Additionally, not having insurance for primary and non-emergency care will make it much less likely that people will even end up in the emergency room. (No checkups, no outpatient)

Even worse, having emergency room coverage only encourages people to use the emergency room more often than they should.

Why?

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It seems this applies to data-parallel workloads only. I'd use a GPU for this. An RTX 3090 has around ~10000 CUDA cores (10000 simultaneous operations) v/s just ~10 for CPUs.

Vintage tech does not track you, you don't have to sign up to manufacturer website in order to use it, you don't have to pay subscriptions.

I don't think that should be at all surprising, if one purpose of speech is to convey information: predictability is the converse of being informational.

Furthermore, to be informative, it is not sufficient for a passage to avoid predictability; it also needs to be pertinent.
Saw the point while reading an article about the beans, I think in Wikipedia. Posting it to see if there is any interesting discussion about it, or if anyone knows if it is being researched more as a possible preventer of those diseases.
Globalisation allows local economies to specialise and reduce economic waste (e.g. what if every country had its own car factories?) I appreciate that globalisation will lead to localised races-to-the-bottom in the near-term, but in the long-term everyone benefits. Protectionism (for the sake of securing jobs) feels good in the short-term but very few mainstream economists will advocate for it absent other concerns (e.g. safety standards, cultural imports, national security, and human-rights concerns).

Take the UK for example: at the time of its accession to the EU it had a sizeable manufacturing and mining economy. Globalisation directly led to those factories and mines closing, but being in the EU meant the UK could specialise in emerging sectors and immediately export to the rest of the EU for free (e.g. service-sector, information economy, banking, finance, media, etc).

Globalisation and economic-interdependence is also the main driver for world-peace. I’d rather be unemployed because someone in France does my job but cheaper than be fighting in a war against France for some sense of “national pride”.

Globalisation needs a friendlier face, yes. And we need better ways of managing the local negative effects, like better unemployment income for plant closures - but I don’t believe the sentimental negatives in any way outweigh the long-term benefits.
> As an observation, performance optimized code is almost always effectively single-threaded these days, even when using all the cores on a CPU to very efficiently process workloads.

Not my experience at all. One big problem is that most languages in 2021 have very, very poor support for thread-based parallelism. It’s crazy how many languages make it hard to do basic data parallel tasks. That steers people toward writing single threaded code and/or trying to rely on process-based parallelism which is basically strictly worse.

I did this with a 2015 MacBook Pro, because I needed it to go full tilt and didn’t want it to throttle. https://twitter.com/nehbit/status/1243329494481432581?s=21

In my case, the weight of the fan connected to a 12v motorcycle battery was enough to make it not throttle at indefinite 100% load, I didn’t have to zip tie anything. Mind that I did not remove the existing fans, just used thermal interface material on top of the existing heat sink, add some salvaged aluminium passive cooling sinks on top, and then on top of that, have the fan screwed into an Amazon shipping box so that the fan blades didn’t hit the sinks.
Depends if you cann make the economic (material reuse in orbit) or safety case (eliminate collision risk) there a couple thing that can be done for an Earth-like planet (lots of sunlight + atmosphere) to make itbwork:

- setup orbital refueling of your tug
- if you have enough time, let the tug drift by gravity anomaly and sun influence as optimal
- use electric engines as much as possible to reduce fuel mass needed
- make the thing aerodynamic enough to enable aerobraking or even orbit plane changes
- add tethers for even more momentum transfer magic

These tricks could make the proposition of capturing and reusing dead satellite much more viable when applied. :)

And most home applications are in that lower-power category. You'll still need 120VAC and 220VAC but only on particular, dedicated circuits. Like maybe one or two per room. Other outlets and lighting would work fine at 48VDC on 12 gauge Romex because 20A is more than sufficient for the majority of loads.
All of that for-sure research got thrown out the window when Apple made a bunch of money off of Jony Ive's guesses.
yep.. I miss those days. Things were less monetized, the "online" population was smaller and more focused.
I think the issue is that the memory is the bottleneck in many applications (i.e. 2 loads per cycle, despite many more Functionanl units) and those workloads tend to be very non-embarassinglt parallel.
