> Increased demand for housing in my area doesn't mean I have more cash to pay taxes. Not until I sell the house and realize that gain.

Right. As I understand it, that's part of the point (for economists, anyway): It incentivizes the allocation of scarce resources to those who value it more highly (and thus, presumably, to those who can make more productive use of it).

Now, I don't want to give the impression that I am on board with this argument, since it implicitly incentivizes the concentration of property ownership into the hands of those who will rent it out, rather than those who will use it. Landlords who are faced with a growing tax bill don't have to sell the property to realize their gains, they can just raise rents (not to mention using it as collateral for a loan to purchase more property).

In order to make the incentives align correctly for more participants, you would also have to establish a pretty robust system of rent control to keep spiraling property values from pricing existing homeowners out of the market, and incentivizing redevelopment: if you can't raise rents arbitrarily to cover your property taxes, you have to build more units to rent (but not so many that a glut of available units depresses rental income).
They don't target the exact same protein and they use a different vector.
Apple made exemption to what they called reader apps. Read but not write, or consume and not create. But you would have thought other Video Streaming Services would be reader Apps. But no, only selected Apps could be classify as reader Apps.

Which is precisely the problem what some people have with the App Store. Actually may be that is not even the case either. There are many accepting the fact there are economy of scale and Amazon, Netflix are big enough to get special treatment. Which is fine. That is until Tim Cook stood up and said everyone gets the same treatment in App Store. Which is a lie.
The US didn't have a lockdown and the economy wasn't ruined by shelter in place. It was ruined because nobody wants to go to a restaurant if they might get sick - this would've happened even without public health restrictions.

Luckily, CARES aid was so effective it actually reduced poverty.
Because of title inflation, for example.

No you can't.

Well various attacks exist against ip routing, dns, email forging etc,in practice they are really hard to pull off as an individual who isn't in a privileged network position (with possible exception of email forging. That one is a bit easier depending on stuff)

I think you might be confusing stuff here. Unless you bgp hijack the nameserver, but if you have that ability, why not go after the site directly?

ZFS, so many problem got solved for me all at once: no more having to spend money on hardware RAID cards, or having them end up being the single point of failure... so having to spend more on RAID cards. zfs-send really streamlines the backup process as well - so it actually happens. It basically made it possible to build an enterprise class SAN that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise afford. So not technically a 10x, more like a 10(x+1).
Wrong analogy.

Horses could not be retrained to do jobs other than those replaced by machines.

I'm designing a data format that takes the interoperability and readability pain out of sending data between systems.

With current solutions, you either have a text format with limited data types and have to encode things into strings (hoping the other side will understand how to convert them), or you use a binary format that's painful to read and use. My solution is a twin binary AND text format with seamless 1:1 conversion between them, and support for all common data types.

* No more coercing everything into potentially incompatible strings.

* No more interoperability issues - all common types are supported natively.

* No more having to choose between efficiency (binary) and readability (text).

I'm still finishing off the reference implementation and there will probably be some more tweaks here and there on the spec, but here's what it is currently: https://concise-encoding.org
I love maths when it takes complicated problems and models them in simple terms. I think "Information Theory" actually does the opposite - it's taken a problem about *data encoding* and articulated that problem as something that can tell us about the properties and nature of *information* itself. The theory implies that pieces of information are comparable with other pieces of information but this is only true inside a strict set of boundaries defining what can possibly be encoded.

Investigating the nature of information and finding ways to measure it is a subject that will never sit comfortably in the sciences. That's okay, let's not force it! Maybe it's time we reconsider labeling this with the very grand title of "Information Theory".
Considering how many people on the Pine64 forums and messaging groups are claiming to use their pinephones for their main phone, I suspect the Pinetab could be. The number isn't high, but it's higher than I would have guessed before (and after) I bought and started playing with mine.

I'm not saying it's a good experience, but some people have lots of patience and very few (phone-requiring) responsibilities.
J&J uses a similar vector adenovirus just the human type instead of the chimp adenovirus.

But yes none of the vaccines use the actual spike protein, they all target slightly different amino acid chains on that protein.

They will work fine because this virus can't evolve for shit. It's only produced 2-3 strains and only has one external protein it can mutate. The current vaccines are still good enough against it, and it doesn't take long to edit an mRNA vaccine either.

This math is wrong, you should think of it as getting a flu but ten times worse that also gives you a permanent heart condition. And remember that the flu is already ten times worse than you think it is, because the last thing you thought was a flu was just a cold.

>2. I supposed it's a shame that there are no alternatives to iOS/iPhone besides Android which has an 85% market share.

1. Android doesn't have 85% market share, whether that is inclusive of Google Android or Android without Google.

2. Android doesn't have 85% market share, whether that is in US or Worldwide.

3. Today, the iPhone has 66% market share in the United States, 75% of U.S. App Store revenues, and over 80% of time spent on the mobile internet. And increasing.

4. Apple could have a seperate Game Store and locked in at 30%. I would have been completely fine. I may not like it, but there isn't much to debate.

5. When the whole economy are moving to Online and Digital, while Apple having the dictating power and a near monopoly of 30% cut on Digital Goods. We have a problem. Especially doing so without alternative payment system allowed. I cant have a separate signup link, nor can I advertise it with link to Web.
If driving the cars on and off your property does not in any way affect your neighbours, I'd be with you. But restrictions on numbers of cars are often used as a proxy for restricting traffic and noise.

E.g. near me planning regulations generally prevent new construction from creating more than an average of 1.5 parking space per housing unit, to prevent further strain on the transport network. One might argue it's a poor proxy, as some people will have cars just sitting around, but it tends to work reasonably well.

There certainly is over-reach, and one of my pet peeve is that restrictions like this (and ideally all regulations and laws) ought to have stated justifications as part of the text, and "test conditions" to validate if they achieve the goal, as it's often hard to unpackage why the rules are the way they are, but a lot of these restrictions do have a reasoning behind them as well. Whether or not one agree about that reasoning is a separate issue, but I think a lot of conflict over these kinds of regulations boils down to not knowing the reasoning behind them.

If you sign up on the platform, you can apply for a job, complete it and get 100% of the task value.

3% will be taken by the platform IF you decide to use an escrow system who's currently developing. You can always chose NOT TO use an escrow system.

Diagram showing 30% explains procedure for freelancers who can't find a job themselves, where 10% gets taken by the platform and gets used in CTASK burning and 20% goes to a middleman.

We aren't fixed on 20% and we may allow users to set the % of the task value they are willing to give.
What is more impressive is the graaljs implementation, that when warmed up, has comparable performance to god damn v8. All that with a complete polyglot runtime, so you can call python code from js and vice versa and the best part: it will inline and JIT compile over language boundaries.
Also, truffleruby (graalvm’s ruby implementation) is/was two times faster than regular ruby - that’s how much engineering went into the JVM.

And of course well-performing (but worse than JIT) AOT compilation is also a possibility with it, though I feel it is not needed as often as people think.

The decision is also due to legal issues, at least in Germany. The number of cases for clots exceed the threshold. The govt has no choice to stop or face lawsuits since it is a state vaccination program.
> AZ, along with effectively every pharma company out there of note, takes the reporting of adverse drug responses (ADRs) very, very seriously.

This is the reason that a lot of medications list the thing they're treating as a side effect. It doesn't work perfectly, so people report they're still having the condition, and that has to go on the list.

Right now they are all mixed together. Based on our experience and talking to early users, for some types of applications this is not too big of a deal. You can always zoom in on a particular endpoint and dive deeper if you want to. And in some cases this is actually a great way to get a high level overview of where your app spends most of the time.

In other cases this does become a problem. For example we've seen it with some large rails apps with a lot of controllers — the flamegraph just becomes too big and hard to read.

This is something we're planning to address soon. The storage layer already has support for tags, we plan to make it so that you would be able to split the profiling data by endpoint, e.g something like

app{endpoint=foo}
app{endpoint=bar}

and then make queries either for the whole app or individual endpoints.
A VPN is no use unless both ends of the system are using it. Should Apache block Safari from accessing websites hosted there? That doesn't seem like a good way to promote open-source.

What concerns do you have?
Let's face it, unfortunate suffering arises. Not everyone is cut out for Guriji's 12 hour meditation session. I'm not. How about 2 seconds of meditation? What is meditation? How long? Where? in a 102 degree F room or subzero little hut? Are you alone in solitary or with people? Is focusing on Guriji's toy poodle a part of the style? Seriously are you really ready ? It's not a game or vacation to shangri la. I think a little self-awareness would have helped prevent these tragedies. There were errors in judgement with the meditation center in not contacting the attendee's provider regardless of sign off (imho with inpatient psychiatric ward, MBSR, basic Satipatthana/Vipassana experience) All of my meditation teachers, instructed: practice to your comfort level. Heck they let you sit in a chair?! It's not a race; there's no winning. Consistency, not more is key. I have not met any 20 year meditators who are "enlightened." They still go to the toilet like everyone else. The Dalai Lama gave good advice in the reply, study and understand what you're getting into before leaping into practice. Well, who knows maybe we can extrapolate Britton's 71.6% "moderate to severe impairment in their day-to-day functioning" on all meditating monks and nuns of the world. What a crazy psychotic bunch! No actually, I'd pin that on the "mindfulness" industry and the infantile society we have become.

I think we have already "lost" similar amounts of knowledge when the mechanical typewriters went away. And the mechanical calculators (and mechanical clocks?).

Or have you recently looked through a book on vacuum tube circuit design? Even more modern transistor-based analog circuit design is going to fade somewhat, as more and more parts of devices are moved to digital circuits.

It is a little terrifying and sad to see how many incredible ideas, that took a lot of smart people to develop, are basically thrown away over time.

Here is my perspective working in industrial automation field (think of these for 4 points as matrix):

1) Things that are easy to automate are already automated.

2) Many things that are difficult to automate but increase productivity a lot are already automated.

3) Many things that easy to automate and increase productivity only a little bit are already automated.

4) Things that are difficult to automate and increase productivity only a little bit NOT automated.

We constantly make advances in automating things, but the low hanging fruits and high productivity gain things are already gone. It's not so clear to me, that our advances are keeping pace with the things that are left to automate. I feel the point about exponential growth is completely non-obvious. What if the tasks we are automating also get exponentially more difficult and/or the productivity gains decrease exponentially.

> I couldn't say if Occupy or BLM are Marxist, Socialist, or whatever.

You can say, at least regarding the founders of BLM: https://therealnews.com/pcullors0722blacklives

"BALL: ...he was concerned or is concerned that there’s a lack of perhaps ideological direction in Black Lives Matter that would allow it to be, to fizzle out in, as he said, in comparison to Occupy Wall Street. As you advance in your own organization, as you all are headed to Cleveland to participate in this Black Lives Movement conference, how do you respond to that particular critique?... CULLORS: Um, I think that the criticism is helpful. I also think that it might–. I think of a lot of things. The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk. We don’t necessarily want to be the vanguard of this movement. I think we’ve tried to put out a political frame that’s about centering who we think are the most vulnerable amongst the black community, to really fight for all of our lives. And I do think that we have some clear direction around where we want to take this movement. I don’t believe it’s going to fizzle out. It just gets stronger, and we see it, right. We’ve seen after Sandra Bland. We’re seeing it now with the interruption of the Netroots Nation presidential forum. What I do think, though, is folks–especially folks who have been trained in a particular way want to hear certain things from us, that we’re not sort of framing it in the same ways that maybe another generation have, has. But I think it’s important that people know that we are, the Black Lives Matter movement doesn’t just live online, although there’s many people who utilize it online. We’re in a different set of circumstances, a different generation that–social media may feel like it’s diluting the larger ideological frame. But I argue that it’s not. "

The article mentions the solution as regards companies: they pay in stock and can do so via a fresh issue. The situation regarding property is less easy to resolve. Most likely some sort of reverse mortgage product would work.
