I see your logic, kind of. But if I abstract the reasoning it might be recast something like this:

Poorer citizens with unknown prospects have more to gain from the government's services, and won't mind paying 30% of their earnings for all that help.

Wealthier citizens like Bezos and Musk are already taking care of their own garbage, lobbying, education, protection and who knows what else and have close to zero to gain from government services.

I'll withhold judgement. It's certainly an unconventional argument to make in a world where
progressive tax rates are the conventional norm. But we do live in interesting times.
I wonder if we’re mistaking a sigmoid for an exponential.
Absolutely, I have a car that sits in a specialist category these days, and there is exactly one shop I'll take it to in this city because they're experienced in all the idiosyncrasies of the platform. But I only know that because of how much time I've spent on the car myself.

My friend who has a similar car but doesn't work on it got fleeced for two years at his chosen shop, they didn't even do some of the work they billed for. Now we've got him at a specialist and it's been cheaper and better quality work.

It's not that my friend is dumb either, as with John, he was making what seemed like the smart choice with the knowledge he had, given the level of effort he was willing to put into learning about his car. He has other priorities, so perhaps the pragmatic choice for him given they're a niche car, would have been getting a recommendation from the car community about where to go.
this opensource thing is not so straight as you have explained.

In Android these days I find lot of finance app using some proprietarytechnology like google safety net. And most app are using google play services which again is closed source.

Android is not true opensource software ...
Don't overthink it. They just want to sell to retail at the highest price possible. Either they want to short GME or they want to unload their current positions.
> In a team with 100 devs, simplifying and unifying decisions is extremely important.

I agree with this.

Unfortunately, Spring is often chosen for projects with much smaller teams too. Just 1 to 5 devs on what is fundamentally just a CRUD app. Wrong tool for the job.
Honestly, if we could get a group of people, 4chan?, to try to complain about apps and get lots of them banned maybe there'd be more legal pressure to stop Google and Apple being the arbiters of what's allowed on your phone.

On devices that run both that I have (had), Linux always wins (by a very large margin). It does take tweaking and running i3wm, but Android is a hog compared in my experience. As is Windows.

Thanks for the tips

I'm not sure if people think benchmarks is just the numbers but I wanted to see source so I can why it was faster and what conditions. C++ is basically an assembler and saying you're faster than assembly is either completely untrue or it'd be poorly written assembly which should be examined.

So essentially I wanted actual code with example numbers
>Maybe it's just me, but message flows and behavior is a lot easier to think about than concurrent access to shared state.

In general, I agree with you. I think the actor model makes concurrent code readable, understandable, and potentially easier to maintain due to that readability. People inexperienced with concurrency might find it a lot more approachable than the alternatives; an actor feels so similar to an object at times and are easier to use than threads or green-threads. I've personally found that actors also give me performance right out of the box, when I could have really screwed something up with locking.

But other than that, doesn't it all boil down to the same thing?

Actors serialize access/modification of state through ordered messages. Locks serialize access/modification of state through acquiring the lock. And when you have complex access or modification patterns in your code, the actor model doesn't help all that much. To me it's like each message acquires the lock to the actor state.

Sure, you can see what messages cause what behavior or state change for an actor A, but the rest of the system can still be complex. Which actors send a given message to actor A, and why or when do they do this? It's not obvious, and the same complexity can be found in event-driven systems, lock-y threaded systems, etc.

>With the re-entrant Swift actors proposed in the link, I'm not so sure it will be easy.

I'm personally not convinced about re-entrant actors. I don't see why you'd give up the guarantee of blocking until a message is fully handled.

They state:

"Moreover, it helps ensure that actors can make timely progress within a concurrent system, and that a particular actor does not end up unnecessarily blocked on a long-running asynchronous operation (say, downloading a file)."

This example is particularly weak in my opinion. An actor could block on the long-running async operation, of course. But isn't that the brute-force/naive approach? I can't see any one doing this in practice.

You could create a long-running actor whose only job is to sequentially handle requests to download files and send the file descriptors back as a message response. You could create a worker pool to do that as well. You could decompose your one actor into a staged pipeline of actors, so any requests that block can go to one pipeline, and other swiftly handled messages can go to another pipeline. Of course, none of these are simple solutions, but neither is designing an actor with re-entrancy in mind.

>that makes it hard to think about again

I agree. However, they do seem to be pushing the envelope and not just reinventing the wheel. I'm curious to see how this plays out.
They can adopt online signatures, it's not hard to prevent rolling back an install like that. But you now need an internet connection at update time.
I don't think that supports the speculation since as the GP stated, Google is actually doing the opposite of maximizing profits in this case.
Autonomous/remote weapons let you take the human out of the weapon system, which lets you drastically shrink the weapon system. We haven't really seen the full effect of this yet, because we haven't expanded along the dimensions of freedom this allows: cost, quantity, expendability, scalability, and taking the human out of the kill loop. So far our remote weapons look basically like our piloted weapons, just with a computer and a data uplink in the driver's seat. But imagine that you make your remote weapons 1/100th the size, 1/100,000th the cost, and build 100,000x more of them. That fundamentally changes the nature of warfare. The goal is to overwhelm the enemy's decision-making and manufacturing capabilities as much as it is to outmaneuver them.

Shrinking the weapon system usually results in physics limitations on range and speed - a 20-ton plane can carry enough fuel to go 2000 miles, but a 1 kg drone might have enough charge to go 2 miles. This favors the defender and prevents the use of these weapons for power-projection. Drone swarms are great for close air support, field defense, and urban warfare, but you can't do precision strikes across a continent (but you can defend against precision strikes, as long as your drones are accurate enough to intercept a missile). That fundamentally changes the balance of power toward smaller political entities.
Guessing the terminology stems off of EEPROM/PROM which was paradoxically, programmable ROM.

Zen practitioner and trainer here.

Proper meditation is a very powerful journey inside and has the power to uncover a lot of trauma or bad experiences masked or buried by other coping mechanisms. It can be said that purification is the process of uncovering these traumas and/or problems and solving them definitively, removing all secondary effects in the process, hence making person more free.

As OP said, the mechanisms are overly complex and extremely powerful. It's both not understood by modern science and very underrated by "woo woo" people.

Coming to your point, these breaks are caused by being faced with these traumas unprepared or without someone to support you. If you're advanced enough, you can face them yourself and solve them. If you're not and somehow face them, a more experienced practitioner can help you to collect yourself and face them at a later time. These experiences push you to the boundaries or out of your comfort zone, for sure.

In these cases, anxiety and other emotions are tip of the iceberg. If you're anxious about meditation, you wouldn't be able to focus properly.

In Zen, the practitioner wouldn't search for a root cause since it's not obvious. So, you don't try to process what's happening real time. These root cause reveals itself later. Either by noticing real-life changes or enlightenment (completion of background processing).

Hope that helps. If you have further questions, I'll try to answer.

lidbdispatch is a concrete implementation of a scheduler on OS threads. Actors (and new async model in Swift) are abstractions that are independent of underlying concurrency implementation. So the presumption that the new asynchronous model will inescapable have threads overhead is wrong.
I got the impression, both from this article and the original (here: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/11/eabd9138) that the electricity wasn't generated by the fungus, but instead the increased compressibility of the wood after being rotted enhanced its pre-existing piezoelectric properties. The original article does mention "mitigation of climate change" as a possible application, by the way.

A third party app store can not automaticly apply updates to apps. The user has to explictly approve every update. This puts the play store in a privileged position of lower ongoing friction.
Video phone was not new at that point, though. Germany had commercial installations, though fixed point to point, in 1936. The first descriptions of it date to just two years after the telephone was invented. The exhibit may have made more people aware it was possible, but the idea was already out there, and had been for a long time.
Thanks for the comprehensive reply! I hope you’re wrong, but I can’t say that I haven’t considered a lot of the same things, and I had similar thoughts about PNW and New England being relatively good options. Hard to really look at this kind of scenario and come to any conclusions with enough confidence to act on them, though - so many unknowns and fundamentally different rules.

Electric assist bikes. I don't have one yet but I've rented them in SF before. They make biking in a hilly city a far more enjoyable experience. If the cost falls enough to be on part with a normal bike in a few years, I suspect everyone will start riding them and cars will be less prevalent for short trips.
I read it and I feel like the author does not understand how government debt works. And this makes them not understand bonds as well.

But to answer the original question, disregarding any logic of how state debt or bonds work, why would you own bonds? Two possible answers:

1) Because they serve as a deflation hedge. This is interesting for people with lots of money who need some more security
2) Because it is guaranteed money (at least bonds for countries like US, UK, JPN, DE).

It puzzles me that some people still think 30% is a reasonable cut for any kind of online store.

Imagine you're 3 guys / girls and working on an app / game / .. whatever and one person only does "distribution" of the final asset. You are working one / two years or more on it, and one person only checks / verifies the final asset and organizes hosting. How is this in any way justified?
And the days that person made any marketing / visibility are long gone.
I think more "fair" is something like 5%, more in the line of what a payment processor does. Which probably, at this point does more than.

One way to look at this is to compare the basic capabilities of humans and machines. The human list remains roughly constant, but the machine list increases over time.

Actually, what's happening in automation is not what people expected. We still don't have good robot manipulation in unstructured situations. Machine learning gave us automation of "higher" functions first.

The current result is a growth in really dumb jobs, like Amazon warehouse pickers. The computers do almost all the thinking. Humans just pick up things where told to do so and put them somewhere else. Such jobs have no promotion path.

This is the "machines should think, people should work" revolution.
But if the Fed hadn't bought the Treasury bonds, some other investor would've, just at a worse price. That's the thing about markets: participants are fungible, as is the money itself.

There's a big difference in dynamics between one firm giving money to another in a non-competitive situation (say, a union bargaining with a monopsony corporation) vs. a market of buyers trading with a market of sellers (say, the commodity or stock markets). You get efficient price discovery in the latter situation, you don't in the former. And the concern up-thread about the sheer scale of Fed purchases is that when the Fed becomes the only market participant, it starts to look an awful lot like the former situation, and market mechanisms break down.

Some of the methods try to modify the behavior or emotion without solving or removing the root cause. This practically buries them deeper and adds an emotional deflection layer preventing person him/herself or other people approaching it.

This causes the emotion to ferment underneath that layer, and since it's prevented from venting itself, the person sometimes emotionally deforms more and everything becomes harder to solve.

Part because person is blind to what's happening and has a very powerful defensive layer which prevents everyone (including psychiatrists) reaching from problematic emotions and trying to heal them.

Have you tried a flameshot graph? It’ll give you a nicer visualization of the relative amount of cpu something took. Sampling profilers are but one thing in the toolbox. On Windows you can use WPA for extremely detailed tracing and can link CPU work to GPu work (the tooling can be awkward as the GPU one hasn’t seen love in a while). Google is tackling this problem for Android via Perfetto although the tooling isn’t as mature and the GPU stuff will probably stay Android unless Nvidia/AMD extend it for the desktop (seeing as how stadia is being deprioritized).

I paid for Salon.com back when he was a journalist there. I am a paying subscriber of The Intercept because of Greenwald.

But, it drives me crazy that he is unwilling to discuss the real details of the Russian involvement that Sarah Kendzior and Andrew Weissmann have been talking about, namely that financial records were withheld from the investigations, and that is where the real evidence lies.

He keeps trying to say there is a media conspiracy (but it is the wrong conspiracy: the conspiracy is to sell clicks). Greenwald seems to be stating there was only smoke and no fire in the investigations and that Trump is entirely a victim here. There is a lot of evidence to suggest otherwise that Greenwald never seems to talk about and it diminishes his arguments.
