> The US is much, much richer than any remotely comparable entity.

The US is 5th in the ranking of median income adjusted to PPP.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income

> Americans do not live the lives of grinding poverty you imagine.

Some people in the US might live well-off, but more than 10% of its population struggles below the official poverty rate.

https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-27...

Over 40% of the US population isn't even capable of supporting an emergency 400$ expense.

I suggest you try to take a look outside your bubble to learn how a high percentage of the US population struggles with poverty on a good day.
Then the title should talk about that, rather than a statistic of dubious relevance.

This is already the case on earth. UTC is defined at sea level and clocks run faster at higher elevations due to the lower gravitational redshift. This effect is easily observable with atomic clocks and has to be taken into account in any accurate clock comparison.

Aircraft are a different case than the others above. Aircraft are built to a type certificate and once it's issued so long as that type certificate is not revoked, airplanes can (in fact, must) be built today in conformance with that type certificate. Modifications to that type certificate are permitted, but they do not require full conformance with current regulations.

My 1997 airplane was built on a type certificate first issued in 1956 (under CAR-3 regulations) and amended to include my model in 1969. Many regulations changed between 1969 and 1997. Beechcraft could build one today under that type certificate, even though they couldn't get that exact type certificate newly issued today (CAR-3 has been replaced by Part 23 requirements).

I don't know about POSIX, but C doesn't mandate an implementation. The C Standard says about getenv():

Quote:

The getenv function searches an environment list, provided by the host environment, for a string that matches the string pointed to by name. The set of environment names and the method for altering the environment list are implementation-defined.

The implementation shall behave as if no library function calls the getenv function.

Returns

The getenv function returns a pointer to a string associated with the matched list member. The string pointed to shall not be modified by the program, but may be overwritten by a subsequent call to the getenv function. If the specified name cannot be found, a null pointer is returned.

End quote. The takeaway from me is that yes, environments do define a key/value store of some sort, but how they're implemented isn't stated. It can be an array of strings in "key=value" format stored in RAM, but it could just as well be a hash table stored in ROM.

I do use a fake VPN blocker, and that's how I found out that you can't do it. You can either block completely, or you have to allow background network. There needs to be a "only allow data while in foreground" but google is a sociopathic company (as are most public companies) and wouldn't do something like this that is user friendly but revenue unfriendly.

JIT is useful when the end-product has a high depreciation rate and/or you forsee yourself frequently changing the part out for a newer version.

Another tendril on the issue; modern accounting practices tend to prefer JIT instead of the costs/overhead mechanics of storing inventory.

You're making a category error, the relationship is not symmetrical.

Comparing apples to apples, if the programmer dabbled in artmaking or writing, I'm confident they would get a similar reaction from accomplished artists or writers.

There are many, many, MANY examples of programmers attempting to write, and I'll stick a pin in this to say most of it is not good--if not truly bad--and in both disciplines the number of people who take the difference in expertise as an altruistic teaching opportunity are very few indeed.
Yep this is really the only way to fix it.

TSMC still requires inputs from global supply chains to function, so doesn't matter of PRC captures it intact, disassembles fabs and reshores on mainland. US can sanction down the supply chain to kill fabs anyway. In the meantime, it's a source for uncomfortable détente between US/CN/TW.

If CN were forced to move in 10/15 year timescale is "quarantining" Taiwan as summarized in another recent Greer article: All Measures Short of a Cross Straits Invasion [0], and hold access to TSMC hostage. Essentially PRC can blockade TW ports and airspace and exploit period where TSMC production still has substantial leverage, and I can see uncomfortable détente continuing to ensure continued supply of chips.

That's not an "incredible amount of shade".
The problem with downdetector is that people say something is down when really it's another service. Like with Cloudflare, a lot of the comments are simply that a website was down giving an CF error, but in reality it was probably not CF that was down but an underlying service.
MMS is whack though
We do not know explicitly how, but we have shared a mutual experience trying to get things through the US healthcare system, one way or another.

Things like prior authorization (getting a bureaucrat to give you permission to take this medication), prescription formularies (exclusion lists--you cannot take this medication under any circumstance), and step therapy (you must take a less effective medicine--and fail--before trying a more expensive and more effective medication. This occurs even with serious conditions like cancer and multiple sclerosis), quite literally kill.

I know an American in Japan who is on 3 biologics there. In the US, all 3 would require prior authorization, and 2 of them would be denied, because you can only get authorization to get 1 at a time. He could fight for coverage, via ERISA, through his employer, in court, but he would lose his colon before he would win. Then, when he loses his colon, he cannot sue for damages because of ERISA.

Dude, conversations break down on forums all the time. I use a screenreader and braille to read posts. I read things linearly because of this. It's not like I do not notice a coherent breakdown of conversation as the posts go further down the webpage.
They could do all the same with chip-and-pin. SSN should not be used as they currently are, it's as simple as that.
Thanks. The article could have been more explicit on this point.
What's the purpose of Filecoin?
I'm fine with that restriction. But that isn't the axiom of antisymmetry. That's the axiom of antisymmetry plus a rule that holds that equality implies identity (which would be typically described in terms of the axiom of extensionality). My problem is with the implied claim that antisymmetry alone gives you that restriction, which is incorrect. Antisymmetry is entirely consistent with collections that contain equal but distinct elements.
Yes, that's a good analogy, although the nm number by itself isn't the full version e.g for 28nm alone, TSMC had 28HP, 28HPL, 28HPM, 28HPC and 28HPC+ variants, of which only HPM and HPC (but not HPC+!) are at all compatible.

28HPC+ and 28HP have very different performance, even if they're both "28nm".

And if you really want to specify a process you also need to know the metal stack (lots of options there), Vt selection(s) (most processes have 2-5 options) & high-voltage device support option.

> The first question we want to ask ourselves is, do we want to keep the SI defined second?

I think absolutely yes. Any Mars colony is going to import a lot of equipment and technology from Earth. All of that is going to assume the SI second. Not just for measuring time, but also as part of the definition of derived units such as newtons. Martian colonists will have no practical choice but to use the SI second since all their Earth-manufactured equipment is going to assume it.

Plus, if they tried to introduce a distinct Martian second, soon they'd have a mix of SI units (based on the SI second) and slightly different Martian units (based on the Martian second), and that would produce Mars Climate Orbiter style disasters.

> Perhaps fortunately, this gives us the opportunity to restart from scratch

People won't. People will want to use the Earth calendar because they are keeping in sync with Earth news and Earth culture. Maybe after a few centuries, Mars will feel sufficiently independent from Earth, that it might want to introduce a new calendar. However, by then Martians will be thoroughly used to the Earth calendar, it will be a centuries-old part of their Martian culture heritage, and they probably won't want to change it.

I wish more people would read https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Standard-....

Once upon a time anybody using a Unix-like OS was familiar with most of those standard targets as a consequence of the ubiquity of autotools, especially when package repositories weren't so comprehensive and it was more common to download and build tarballs locally.

But at my current job, there's no rhyme or reason to make targets. Something like `make build` (where build may or may not be the default target, likely accidentally if it is) is more likely to install Go toolchain dependencies than to build any of the project source code. And of course little if any attempt is made to actually declare dependencies, correct or broken, as for so many programmers these days a Makefile is just a container for ad hoc shell code.

I don't often make use of autotools in my own projects as I can usually get good mileage from plain POSIX make, switching to GNU make in a bind, but I religiously try to adhere to the standard targets and other build and distribution conventions outlined at https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Makefile-... and https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Managing-R...

How has maintenance & bug fixing been? I'm OK with mature apps stabilizing and needing few updates, though since it is a single dev with somewhat infrequent changes I thought I'd ask (https://updates.mailmate-app.com/release_notes).
The sad part is that even though that feels like a lot given the time span, it doesn't feel that bad given it's Azure. These network issues have been plaguing us ever since we started using AD.
The eviction moratorium is overblown. Forbearance on mortgages is an extremely cheap way to keep landlords from feeling the pain, and lenders have little upside and much downside from mass selling among landlords when financing is so cheap nowadays. Anyway NY state is $61b estimated lost rent which is comparable to student loan debt (like $40b), neither of these things matter as much as people think they do.

Why? These people are already in default. The renters who need the moratorium were already “in default,” you just didn’t account for it yet. To the degree that the market has known NYC and LA renters’ rent was “too damn high” for decades now, it’s hard to see how people predictably on the verge of default (ie economic default) now having to live somewhere they can afford (ie accounting default) will cause a crash. If anything REITs prices will rise as information (ie who is really capable of paying rents) flows into the system. The renters who can actually afford to live in NYC and LA are richer, and the people who move out will be richer than many people where they’re moving to.

Another way to look at this is that CDOs were responsible for the 2008 crash. Not people taking mortgages they can’t afford.

Constantly economic crashes are the result of derivatives. My feeling is that we will find out what toxic derivative will crash the economy for real when someone takes a long look at PIPEs for SPAC transactions. Another place I would look for nasty derivatives is untaxed cash of large corporations in offshore accounts, especially of the major tech companies.

> Physicists, on the other hand, didn't invent physics, so they know their current understanding of physics could be wrong.

They also know they have experimented extensively over the region this effect claims to exist, and have found nothing of the kind for well over a century, and that if the EmDrive did what some claimed, it would violate literally thousands to millions of experiments already conducted.

Claiming physicists don't know everything about possible physics does not imply they don't know a tremendous amount about the places they have extensive experimental and theoretical agreement. Those places are not likely to ever change.

> We will have to reckon with the consequences of government economic meddling at some point.

Not necessarily, the Fed isn’t obligated to unwind its QE purchases. They may not even be willing to, see ‘taper tantrum’ and Oct-Dec 2018. We won’t see another bear market without another black swan.

House prices may come down when the moratorium is lifted, back to 2020 prices. There won’t be as much selling by landlords as you think, lots of them likely qualified for forbearance which makes non-payment of rent a virtual non-issue. It’ll take a 2.5-3% 10y yield to really push mortgage rates up enough to where it starts to affect house prices, or the Fed needs to stop buying MBSes, or both.

An analogy about computer code isn't a valid counter point.
Humans have been dealing with respiratory diseases since well before the dawn of recorded history. An article on nytimes.com proves nothing, but the null hypothesis (for a trained and educated medical professional) is not going to be "I dunno". The null hypothesis is "this will behave like [most similar virus I know about] and humans action will be causing spread in a manner following the epidemiological studies I have read".

COVID shouldn't be so much of a mystery any more, it has been 12 months of the most focused study the world medical profession has ever done. The only thing holding our knowledge back of the short term behaviour of COVID is ourselves at this point. We've had time to watch the disease play out multiple times.
> The fewer the mutations, the fewer the vaccine resistant variants.
> The fewer the vaccine resistant variants, the fewer the need for new vaccines

Aren’t you committing a logical error here? There will need to be new vaccines as long as there is at least one escape variant. The “fewer the need” is really a binary 0 or 1, and you haven’t done anything to show that your “getting vaccinated and retaining some discipline until the collapse” gets us from a 1 to a 0. There’s a time component as well.

But yeah, it’s a neat story that gets shots in arms.
Is this referencing the slow turnaround time, or the lack of a bounty paid so far? If it's the latter, I think it's already well known that bug bounties pay far less than the "market" value of such exploits.
