"...murder still happens despite all our efforts to prevent it."

Sure, but it happens more in some places than others. We can nudge people to situations where they are more likely to murder or we can take care of society and have fewer.

Drugs aren't quite like murder, and laws regulating food additives aren't like drug or murder laws, and each of these have different impacts.
It's a hard problem to tackle as it would have to be a national law but that goes into individual state jurisdiction. I would say if our goal is to increase affordable housing we just need more of it.

Ban renting of single family dwellings, but allow and encourage it where increased density is achieved (apartments, condos, multiplexes, etc). Owners of single family dwellings will scramble to convert their rentals to duplexes / multiplexes and create the additional inventory while companies acquire multiple properties to convert into apartment complexes.

For the fiducials we previously worked on, the goals was to maximize error correction for the types of occlusions commonly on signs. Because most signs are vertical, there is a lower likely hood of a ton of snow on them. The more common occlusion is an edge occlusion from either a natural road feature, or other vehicles.

For snow that generally disrupts the sign fiducial, we had a few solutions. The first is that if fiducials are dense enough, then dead reckoning may be sufficient until the next fiducial is observerd. The second is to try and build different layers of data with different error correction capabilities. One system developed could relay a low number of bits from a far distance and reasonable error correction capability. The remaining bits were then much smaller and readable from up close. The thought being that if you are able to fully resolve a fiducial in one area then assuming an apiori map of fiducials, the first 16 to 24 bits of a 64 bit code is likely enough to accurately resolve location.

Except you are talking about hypothetical technical debt, not actual practice.

In theory you are right, tech debt is a tradeoff.

In practice what is happening is that people decide not to pay attention to design at all and just throw away every single "best practice" with the excuse that there is a short deadline.

Many cases, this short deadline is entirely illusory, especially in large corporations. Many times I just ignored the deadline on my own judgement and everything came out fine and everybody was happy.

Most of the time, in a crunch, you can still follow most of the good practice and identify only small number of things that are just too time-consuming to handle now. You can then plan so that it is easier to fix later.

For example: when in crunch, I tend to focus on overall design and APIs and try to concentrate the tech debt in implementation. It is usually much easier to fix individual modules when they have good APIs and interactions with other systems. Fixing bad design/architecture spanning multiple systems is much bigger issue and usually requires touching implementation anyway.

But that's not what usually happens -- I haven't noticed people actually planning technical debt.

Another issue with technical debt is that there isn't anybody to chase you to pay it off. At least with an actual loan there is a bank that chases you. This aspect is underappreciated -- I personally think it should cause us to err on the side of less tech debt.

In Norway, sheep herds are typically sent off into the mountains during summer and left to fend largely for themselves, so not even fenced in land. I'd expect that is the same many other places too.
Note that in EU it also started with 7 cases ~1 month ago. Then doctors went through the records and now there are 200+ sick, 25 people dead from CVST alone (clotting that causes bleeding in the brain) with incidence in Norway 5 out of 130000 vaccinated. If you look at women only it will probably go even higher. And if you compare that to CFR from COVID for person <50 years old without diabetes and hypertension it will be within an order of magnitude

Completely agree.

PG's only argument was that the tax compounds, and completely ignored the fact that wealth compounds much, much faster than tax burden grows.

Someone who inherits $3 million (not much from the point of view of the very-wealthy) can live comfortably on the growth alone while still compounding their wealth further every year.

The only way a wealth tax would compound faster than the wealth itself is if it is larger than the growth rate of the wealth. And since the growth of wealth (e.g. by just sticking it in an index fund) has averaged at ~8-10% over the past several decades, a 1% tax is not going to eat into a person's wealth over time. It's simply going to slightly slow that growth down.

The rest of the article on how PG's essay involved a slight of hand was interesting, I had missed that.

Would you look at that...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-recommends-pause-j-j-111853384...

"Or what did you wanted to say by pointing out the similarities?"

You completely missed the point about infection vectors endemic to the environment. You're saying that vaccination eliminates the disease, which is not at all true for these types of pathogens. Even with 100% vaccination the virus will mutate in other host animals.

If you don't remember the Swedish position, then have you been following the news at all. They did not lockdown and jump to conclusions like the rest of the world. The FDA also said they want to wait for more data before approving the vaccine for children.

https://abcnews.go.com/International/sweden-avoided-covid-19...

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/health/covid-vaccine-fda-...

"We have there a court ruling in favour of a government mandated "whole" (within medical limits) population vaccination program, as it is based on the guidance of expert opinion in favour of it. So I would see the similarities are pointing in favour of doing the same."

So your argument is just an appeal to authority - 'look at what the experts say!'? If we do that, then we can see that the experts aren't recommending mandatory vaccinations for covid.

"It is to protect our parents, or potentially grand-parents."

This can be done through alternative methods such as masks and social distancing. The experts also say that asymptomatic transmission is unlikely and that transmission is still possible even after vaccination. Most of the vaccine effectiveness numbers have been focused on preventing severe symptoms, not on total immunity. It's hard to advocate for mandatory vaccinations for a vaccine that 1) won't eliminate the disease 2) isn't even approved for everyone because it still needs more safety data 3) may not be beneficial for some segments of the population to recieve - children are usually asymptomatic and they say that asymptomatic people have a low likelihood of transmission, yet you can recieve the vaccine and still have a possibility of infection and transmission, thus it might not be rational to expose those people to the risks of the vaccine if it poses little to no benefit to them and the community.

Technical debt also manifests itself differently. Some of it might not be felt on a daily basis, but acts more like extra mass or like drag, impeding acceleration. That is slowing you down when making or changing stuff.

This is in contrast to the debt you have to pay each day in production.

We have a fair bit of that "extra mass", due to shortcuts taken many moons ago under tight deadlines. On a daily basis the code works fine, and does what the customer needs.

However due to it we spend extra time when we need to extend it or change it.
I don't quite agree with the 'for anything'. For poor/missing technical assets that area direct cause of insufficient upfront investment (of time, money, etc), that's 'tech debt'.

Missing/outdated docs/tests? Tech debt.

"Low skill with technology" - probably not as easy to lump it as 'tech debt', imo.

"Lack of understanding about the problem" - again, doesn't seem like tech debt, but... business debt. Tribal knowledge debt. Operational debt, but not explicitly 'tech' debt.

But... perhaps that's your point? It's easier to just say 'tech debt' for everything, even if it's plainly the result of underinvestment on non-tech things?

I believe it is still the primary mean which at least Russia criminals use. Baltics, Cyprus, much of South-East Europe, even Germany are places where semi-morbid micro banks are sold in weeks for symbolic amounts of money.

A friend of mine called most ‘tech debt’ just badly written and poorly designed code.

This is my favorite explanation of technical debt, framed as actual debt instruments. Mortgages, credit cards, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XakfJ2spb3w

tl;dw: Technical debt is equivalent to the interest you are paying on it, where interest == pain. Some debt is planned and low interest, like a mortgage. Other debt is unplanned and high interest, like a credit card or payday loan. Sometimes that interest allows you to get larger returns. For example, if you could take out a loan at 3% in order to invest at 8% over the life of the loan, that's a pretty good deal, as long as you can pay it down. but, if you let that interest get out of control, if you don't pay down the principal, then it becomes more painful.

FAA mandates only a two day wait after vaccination. I suggest the risks from "long covid" should you recover from an initial infection are worse than most problems a vaccine could cause. I waited too, but after millions of okay doses of Pfizer I took one. I did suffer two days of 2nd shot malaise (fevers and lethargy) which is expected as my immune system ramped up to fight the mRNA "invasion" of the spike protein.

The standard psychoanalysis for this would go something like: you'd like to "return to the womb" and separate out some functions that women could fulfill (cook, sex for pleasure, reproduction, etc.) into ambient functions of the environment as opposed to attach to individual women.

It's probably more plausible that you could do something to egg precursor cells to make women reproduce by parthenogenesis so she can have an infantile fantasy of endless tea, tribadism, and polite manners.
