1. They are different chemicals.

2. They are administered by different means (inhalation is vastly more impactful than swallowing a tablet).

3. The doses for pharmaceuticals are much lower.

By repeating this argument you create prejudice against those of us who live with ADHD and rely on medication to function normally.
Author mentions the ponzi scheme, and quite right. As long as the general trust is there and the investments are on the up and up you’re fine.

But the insidiousness is once you’re in, you’re in. Once you bought 4000 Tupperware to resell (insert any pyramid scheme here) , you can’t find fault in it, and when it crashes you’re burned.

100 firms is not a concentrated industry according to any economist’a definitions.

However, this is a group of 100 or so firms in terms of “revenue extracted from the ocean by these firms as a percentage of the total”. That is not a useful market definition. These firms are mostly not competitors (some subsets of them are in their separate markets!).

Laying communications cable, shipping, fishing and oil and gas extraction are just four of the listed industries on this list of 100 companies.

These four separate industries may be concentrated or not but this article doesn’t tell you one way or the other.

I used to use a setup similar to this before WSL was a thing (Hyper-V VM). The "accessing your files" issue trips people up but there's a trivial solution.. install Samba in your dev VM and mount it on the host.

Unsurprisingly, WSL2 does something similar (it uses the 9p protocol instead of SMB though).

Starlink satellites are a bit bigger than that from what I can gather on google at least.

So is a bullet if it goes through you. Space is big but the orbits these satellites operate in aren't as big as space itself.

Why does it matter if it's hard to believe anyway, they gave a figure of 1.3%, which is pretty low anyway, and they didn't do it on the back of a napkin.
could you share the rest of the story please?

what does "copy from keyboard" mean? was there a way to type numbers to produce any 7bit sequence?

and with that you wrote a program that could read hex (which was easier to type than raw 7bit code)?

so you wrote the initial program in raw machinecode? not as a script that would be interpreted?

and then what did you type in hex? the whole contents of the romcard? and you got that from where? you had a printout of that?
>I agree the calculation is different, but I doubt there is a lender that isn't going to demand the return of their principal at the least.

You win some, you lose some. Presumably the person/organization making the loan has calculated that the upside pays for the students who end up paying nothing.

To the sibling comment about debt and equity, they're not necessarily as different as some assume. In this case, if I called it debt with a payback schedule based on ability to pay up to some cap, does that make it into something fundamentally different just because it's unusual?

> People have become hypersensitive to COVID-19 and we are monitoring it to a level never seen before in human history.

That's because the last time a novel virus appeared on the scene and killed millions of people, we didn't have DNA and RNA profiling technologies and thousands of epidemiologists and thousands of biotechnology labs around the world able to collaborate instantly.

> There is vastly more problems in the world than exactly one very specific disease.

Nobody should argue with you on that! Thankfully, lots of people kept working on these other problems over the past year, thanks to humanity's capacity to deal with more than one global issue at a time.

> We need to accept covid is here to stay and return back to pre-pandemic 2019 normal.

Well, here in the US at least, there are nearly 600,000 less people so things won't ever be back to how they were in 2019. The families of all of those dead people can't just "return back" and pretend that Uncle Ted didn't choke to death, alone, in an ICU last year. The millions of lost jobs, ruined companies, and devastated households won't just bounce back by saying "OK, go back to 'normal' now!"

The plan that you're pushing might have been accepted as brutal but realistic and implemented 11 months ago... and the US would have lost a couple of million folks instead of 560,000. Thankfully, empathy won out over sociopathy and we worked on mitigation and vaccine development.

The fastest way to get back to anything approaching "normal" is to vaccinate everybody and drive the disease out of circulation. Like we did with polio and smallpox. And it's important to study and monitor the virus and the vaccine so we can continue that process effectively and hopefully less people die.
True, I was definitely exaggerating, but the horror stories I hear from my american friends still make very skeptical that moving to the US for what would probably be a junior position at FAANG would be worth it in any way. Just the story of a friend of mine getting some basic dental surgery in the US makes me not even consider moving there.

As ever Israel makes a strong Operational measure but a poor Strategic one. What exactly is the end game that it thinks is going to happen? There is zero scenario in which Iran is going to fully stop trying to build a nuke in the basement. The JPCOA is the only show in town.

Of course, I think you can really get the idea what is going on in Ukraine due to kind of similar circumstances. Sorry for being a bit too blunt.

New president I think is a bit better than the previous three but the whole situation kind of shows two things:
1) There is not much you can do in the country where oligarchs control everything.
2) There is still not much ideas for the future except some sort of a neoliberal 'reaganomics', further privatization and generally disengagement of the state from any meaningful public good iniatives.
> Stuxnet isn't the most sophisticated piece of software ever written

I think "sophisticated" is in the eye of the beholder.

However you'd like to characterize it, the full scope of the Stuxnet attack seems pretty impressive. Especially the part where the virus simultaneously increases centrifuge speeds while concealing this information from the people monitoring the fuges.
Sophisticated != complicated

“ with enough new hosts evolve further”

That is why we need to push for widespread vaccination. Even vaccines that are not fully effective against all variants can reduce the population available to infection and reduce the ability of the virus to develop new variants.

It should literally remind you of the east coast cod fishery in Canada which was once the most productive fishery in the world and is now basically nothing.

It got wrecked by giant all in one factory trawlers out competing local boats, causing a feedback effect where to complete you needed trawlers as well helped along by a corrupt government that was willfully ignorant of the situation until (almost literally) one day there just weren't any fish left.

That destroyed an entire region's economy (a region I happen to be from), and has led to generational depression, joblessness and frankly hopelessness.
I have an interest in life safety. Partially by professional experience and training. Personally from having knocked on a neighbor’s door because their house was on fire.

Family member babysitting three kids. Living room filling with smoke. I said “the house is on fire. You need to get out.”

The adult had lit a wood fire in a gas fireplace. And was trying to put out the flames that were showing at the mantel.

Fires burn upward. It had burned down the chimney that far. I’d seen the flames outside. That’s why I said “stop the car.”

He was still not quite ready to admit defeat. So I directed the kids and they went outside.

I said, “we need to go.” And turned. Fortunately they followed.

We were all across the street waiting for the fire department. My beloved called 911 from the car when I got out to knock.

That fire department has a five minute response time.

Before they arrived the youngest child mentioned their turtle. The adult started past me saying they would get some clothes too.

I stuck out my arm and said “it’s not worth dying for.”

They hesitated for a moment and then the attic flashed over with back draft. And the sound was a whoosh.

And a minute or two later the fire fighters arrived.

I only knew the psychology from professional experience. I learned from an old fire inspector named Roy who patiently explained how stupid I was in trying to design an ethane distribution system for a research lab by telling me some of the things he had seen people do.

As cool as all those things you want sound, they are not as cool as not dying.

I didn’t want Roy to tell me my design was dumb. But he did and I am thankful for it.

You wondered where the devices went. I told you. It’s unfortunate you don’t recognize the difference between opinion and informed opinion. Particularly since you write a relatively popular blog...popular because it contains informed opinions.

This is not among them.

And unlike others the consequences are potentially lethal.

Fun fact: when I knocked on the door, one or more smoke alarms were going off.

> terrorist groups [...] that are against Israel’s existence

I think this is an oversimplification useful to justify Israeli aggressiveness. It's also part of the self-deluded statements of those groups. If Israel was interested in peace and justice, it could act like the adult in the room and try to heal the wounds that are at the root of the violence. Let's not forget that Israel is practically an apartheid state (but conveniently outside its fuzzy borders, so it can keep pretending it's not) and that it's been steadily appropriating more land from Palestinians since it's been in existence.

If Israel were interested in peace and justice. My take is that it's not interested, because that would put an end to its expansion and unchecked power in the region.
One possibility: Google creates a fully independent subsidiary that bids on AdSense auctions with a goal of turning a profit by reselling the slots they buy. This might make sense if Google sees large inefficiencies in the ad market that are being taken advantage of by third party resellers, at the expense of their customers. It’s not a great look, but it could be done in a way that is aboveboard from a legal standpoint.

That’s a hard comparison as there many variables during past case declines too when curfew lifted.

However, right now Ontario has had a total lockdown for a while, but no curfew.

Quebec has similar restrictions (maybe less stringent?) but has a curfew. Case rise nowhere near Ontario.

My bet is we’ll see this divergence continue. The curfew seems to be the biggest point of differentiation Quebec has re: Ontario and BC.

It maybe a problem but from my experience most people who take the piss out of recruitment at least here in the U.K. tend to be the ones who think they are top 0.1% talent but in reality are far from it.

True top talent has the luxury of usually not having to deal with recruiters in the first place and for the rest of us in the middle we know it sucks but it’s something most of us learn to deal with rather easily.

The best tech recruiters I worked with were also the ones who didn’t know anything and didn’t care, and it’s fine. I want a recruiter to be able to understand what kind of a role I want to have at a high level and what would the next challenge I want to take on, tech lead, people’s manager, building something from the ground up at a startup etc rather than try to pattern much my CV to some job posting.

The technobabble only detracts from the recruitment process I don’t care if they understand the difference between React and React Native or don’t.

Pretty hard. But the enrichment isn’t even the hardest part, just tedious. Iran has had the knowledge and equipment for several years. But it takes time to produce enough material to be useful, and they keep getting sabotaged. Not just the equipment, but top leaders and scientists get killed from time to time.

Keep in mind that the Manhattan Project employed over 100,000 people and cost a couple billion dollars, which would be tens of billions of dollars after inflation. Iran has been under sanctions of varying strictness for a few decades. That amount of people and money isn’t trivial to them like it is to the USA in 1940, which was a rising superpower.
In the short term you can get used to it. I used to get vr sickness instantly when moving with a joystick but eventually you get used to it. I now have zero vr sickness even when doing crazy physics defying spinning or something.

As for the long term - my hope is that it gets better as the headsets get better. It seems to so far.

One sort of interesting thing along these lines - I remember in the book "Masters of Doom" they're describing the early days of FPS development and how people would frequently get very nautious and grab the trash can by their desk to vomit.

You never hear about that anymore. What is that? Better screens? Playing games when you're a kid? Whatever is at work there, seems like it might apply to vr too.
It seems defense is harder than offense in this context.
Aliases are pretty much mandatory if you need to join the same table twice; otherwise you have no way to disambiguate column references. I understand the case of auto-gen’ed queries. However, in page long queries that I’ve written by hand, short aliases (typically the acronym of the table name, sometimes with a one-letter suffix if the table is joined multiple times) make the whole query flow like a nice story.
Not if they used their proprietary data to bid up but never win auctions. Especially since they know other bidders max price willing. So bidding for max-1 would result in no wins, but lots of extra money.

This would make me not use eBay. But there’s really not an alternative for ad markets controlled by Google.

I'm currently getting started with TimescaleDB for storing lots of time-series data (all the public data from cryptocurrency exchanges).

Turns out, there's a bit of weird stuff required in order to collect orderbook data, which involves recording updates, but also the 'full state' (or at least as much as I can get) periodically. The current plan is to add an interface between the DB and the consumers that makes it work a bit like a temporal table (if we're storing the full state at the beginning of every hour, the previous state along with any updates should expire at the end of the hour).

If postgres could also leverage the temporal tables extension we might prevent needing to store a lot of entries that 'invalidate' previous entries, but then I imagine there's internal overhead with the temporal tables extension as it manages expiry time.

I'm wondering, are there any notes on using the temporal tables extension with the timescaledb extension? Wondering if that's something worth investigating.
For a small company with a fairly stable feature release schedule, that is fine. But in a large setting where expectations for new features is high, that seems like a scam. That is it looks like they are trying to get the developer to work double (or triple) shifts but only pay for one.
Some (not all) recruiters are salespeople. They'll say any old thing, just so long as you hop on the conveyor belt.
Iran has no other agenda other than producing nuclear bombs and I say this as an Iranian.

Iran has spent tens of billions of dollars in the past decade on what the regime's claims "peaceful nuclear power", ie to produce electricity.

meanwhile after spending tens of billions and four decades what we have is a 1000 MW nuclear power plant, and i assure you that's only a shop front so they can argue enriching uranium and making centrifuges are necessary to fuel the plant.

Iran has 2nd largest natural gas reserves in the world, because of sanctions Iran has lost lots foreign investments it needed to sell it and/or use it to generate electricity. Natural gas costs peanuts in Iran.

We could've made a deal with a foreign company and ask them to build and fuel the power plant for 1/4th of the price and 5 times the capacity like our neighbours (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barakah_nuclear_power_plant)

just in case you don't know, fuel for nuclear power plant is the cheapest item in the bill when you are building one. There is no economic benefit (and lots of disadvantage) to start from scratch and enrich your own fuel.

I don't want a regime who shuts down an airliner and deny it for 3 days have access to nuclear weapons.

do not believe a word from the regime who is killing its own people all the time.

> Iran, which insists it does not want nuclear weapons

The bias in BBC phrasing still amazes me. Using “Iran insists it does not want nuclear weapons”, which is technically a true statement, instead of the more accurate one “There is no evidence that Iran seeks nuclear weapons”, which acknowledges the investigation and authority of the international atomic agency.
