Health insurance is a big one and a lot of people just aren't going to take a job that doesn't come with a good health insurance plan. Many companies also offer things like dental insurance, short term disability, and long term disability. Individuals (may) be able to obtain some of those things on their own but, as you say, the cost may be prohibitive.

You can at least get health insurance with pre-existing conditions now but it can be very expensive. You may not be able to get disability insurance.

Being a 1099 contractor is mostly not a good deal for someone who actually wants a stable long-term full-time job.
I wonder if this will kickstart other technologies.

For example, with PG&E electricity in CA costing up to 40¢/kwh solar becomes practical.

Developers many times in higher density areas don't often "sell" apartments. Rather, it is many times a lease. This doesn't necessarily help new families that want to purchase something for 100k, as their rent would keep them from making this into any investment.

In addition, to making something split into quarters each time it's "sold and redeveloped" isn't possible, as you'll run into a lack of space at some point. You could potentially do this one time.

I'll say this though. The answer to the first one is no, at least on a higher level. Most purple pursue things for their own self interest. Who would invest so much time, resources and effort solely for others gain. They might be great people, but they're rare. Allowing the innovators to profit from their creations nicely aligns incentives.

The problem here is that people love to pick at the current system, but ignore the flaws of their much treasured alternative.

Nothing in life is completely without risk, but you can get arbitrarily close. Treasury bills are commonly used as an example of an approximately "risk-free" loan since the probability of the federal government repudiating its debts is considered extremely low. Bonds with the lowest investment-grade rating, BBB, have a 1% one-year default rate, with higher grades being significantly less (0% for AAA)[1]. The vast majority of the interest on such a loan is a result of time preference (rent), not risk-taking.

This is not a widespread campaign, this is a test. This is, in fact, the second test.

Even if the ecosystem is too complex for us to understand now, that's not to say it's to complex to ever understand, and if we're ever to understand it, how should we go about that? Tests.

The human body was once considered too complex to understand. We may not know everything about the body, but we do know quite a bit, to the benefit of everyone alive today.

Caution is beneficial. Immediately discarding avenues of research and testing benefits because of incautious approaches of the past is not. This is not a case of people ignoring history repeating it, this is a case of people trying to learn from history and do it better next time, which is really the story of the human race.

Might this end badly? It's possible. None can say it isn't. Even if it does, I'm not sure that means this approach should be abandoned. The eventual benefit of what they are attempting, even if limiting it purely to what we might get from controlling some breeds of disease spreading mosquitos, is massive.
It seems the existing finishes would also degrade along exactly the same curve. Starting at a higher point on the curve might leave this finish, in it's environmentally degraded state, still brighter than the other white finishes when new, and certainly brighter after both are exposed.

Also, if this were that big a problem, it seems that solar panels would fail. It seems that rain often counteracts the pollution, dust, & smog items on your list, washing them off.
Surely that's marketing&sales, not R&D.
I believe this argument has been mostly refuted in the scientific community. Here's an excerpt from a Forbes article on the topic:

What are the risks of eradicating mosquitoes?

As you noticed, there are no keystone species in mosquitoes. No ecosystem depends on any mosquito to the point that it would collapse if they were to disappear. An exception may be the Arctic, but the species there are non-vectors and thus can be left alone.

So you did make the claim, but just retracted it, in spite of you saying you never made the claim, a claim which is still in the article linked here. I am now supposed to argue against some revised article published elsewhere? This is a very vexing way to have a conversation.

This is also a trick peddlers of pseudoscience pull by the way. Honestly, you're coming off even worse now and this is reflecting pretty badly on all of CockroachDB to be honest. I don't know what your relationship with CockroachDB is exactly (if any), but it's on their website, and it's not a good look.

Cryptocurrency APIs – State of Developer Experience
I love Squarespace. I find it to be as close to the perfect mix of flexibility, usability and beautiful defaults that I've ever seen in a website builder. I can hand off management of the site to someone with almost zero technical skill (my 70 y/o father with almost no technical knowledge manages a Squarespace site I built him!) and when I look back in 2 years the site will still look pretty good and will still work on mobile. Chances of the site being hacked are much much lower than on Wordpress. Prices are reasonable. The layout engine is exactly what I want, it looks nice on all devices and can handle most layouts, which is a totally worthwhile tradeoff for the few times that something just doesn't quite look the way I want it to without custom css.

I know people say this stuff:

"You can't transfer your site away" - I know, but I can build a reasonable site in ~2 days, so the tradeoff is worth it and the sunk cost is lower

"But I want a fully custom design" - Yeah, fair enough, there is a cap on the high end of design with it but I think that cap is pretty high, especially in 7.1

"But it is making the whole internet look the same!" - Not really, between colors, photos and sections in 7.1 I just don't think this is true. If you use unsplash for all of your photos then maybe, but if you are doing that you are probably too small to care, worry about that when you hit 2MM in revenue

"But Wordpress is user friendly too" - No it isn't

As I write these I think that maybe it is just the perfect thing for my subset of clients (SMB), so read this from that perspective. I know this isn't really the discussion on this thread, I just wanted to see what experiences of others have been.

I think the discussion about TypeScript, and particularly type guards, really misses the point. Structural typing and manual type narrowing is basically what you’d do anywhere you don’t know some data’s type in the first place—for instance when you get some JSON from an external service. It just happens that that’s fairly common in JS/TS.

It’s also a natural consequence of TS explicitly choosing not to expose its type system to the runtime; a choice which confuses many, but makes sense given the potentially unpredictable performance impact that could have. But there are plenty of good tools for declaring validation and getting types “for free”, allowing you to choose explicitly where you want to incur that runtime cost—typically at API/network boundaries.

This is not much different from interface/protocol/contract based typing, which often appears in a goofy way in Java: class Foo implements IFoo. But when you work in an environment where interface typing is commonplace and done well, it really helps guide good modular design.

While these are all good points, this really does not appear to be a competitive NPU design on any axis that matters. I don’t know what this chip is for, but a router NPU it is not, nor a switch. Maybe some soho switch or smart NIC, but those have moved on far along the performance spectrum away from the place where this would fit.
A file system isn't the greatest design from a security standpoint, but the Apple model is particularly limiting if, for instance, you want a library of data to be available to one app, and then later available to another app. You'll notice the iPhone cheats in this regard, by providing generic system libraries for photos and contacts, but if you say, have an ebook library, and want to switch reader apps, you'll have a bad time.

It would probably be better to have a system of secure file buckets, where you could create them arbitrarily and choose to allow access to any bucket to any app, rather than permit open access to the file system as Android traditionally has done.
The problem with the US market isn't really any of that.. it's the extreme shortage of raw materials due to construction booms throughout the world, but particularly in the US because money is "free" (low interest rates). Lumber is at least twice the price it was a year ago, if not more. Cement is up (so concrete is up). Rumor is that China just cut off fiberglass shipments to the US so now a lot of other tangential goods are going to go up (showers, bath tubs, hot tubs, insulation, etc).

Innovation existed before IP. To argue it would stop requires a lot of proof.

I'm not sure what you mean by using 1/n, but the Kelly criterion optimised on past returns for common portfolios of thickly traded assets does suggest something very close to 1/n very often.

I've always attributed this to market efficiency (if it suggested anything else, that's what investors would do until the mispricing went away) but maybe there's a deeper reason it happens.

It's infuriating when the argument is that "cancelling" this app would infringe on children's (and parents'?) rights while also the proposed alternative implicitly boils down to invading your child's privacy via surveillance software.

So if your child ends up on Instagram Kids to their detriment it's because you failed as a parent but to take measures to actively prevent that you need to also fail. And this for an issue that doesn't even have to exist and we (well, Zuckerberg) can just decide not to create.

What I believe is this: people are complex creatures with sophisticated brains. Measuring "ability" objectively is nigh-impossible for a lot of things, but it's not impossible to get a general sense of someone's ability in a particular field.

> What you are dismissing as "flowery language" appears to be a different epistemology from yours. I cannot reconcile "there is a wide range in between" with these concrete categories you are giving.

Think about it like this: there is a color gradient that transitions from blue on the left, to purple in the middle, to red on the right, smoothly. If I point to the leftmost part of the color gradient and ask people what color it is, they would say "blue". Likewise for the right, they would say "red".

In the middle it gets a little more tricky. If start on the left and move in a touch, most people will probably say blue. Move a bit further and some people might say purple, and others blue (would anybody say red? probably not). Move further and now you're in pretty solid purple consensus territory, though you might get the odd person claiming red or blue. You get what I'm trying to say.

There absolutely are children who are "blue" or "red". There aren't a lot, but they are there. Most are purple, and sometimes you can get a sense for whether they're more bluish-purple or reddish-purple. The analogy isn't perfect, because ability is a multidimensional and complex but I think it applies fairly well if you limit your gauge of "red" or "blue" to particular subject matters.

I agree with your assertion that you can't know _everybody's_ category with complete certainty. There are some whose ability or lack of is very apparent, and others that require a bit more inspection.

> You can imagine measurements that provide information about those categories (no one seriously believes a test could directly detect such a thing, however).

A test is one way to help gauge it. But some people are poor test takers. A test doesn't account for someone not sleeping well the night before, or having recently experienced something traumatic. Tests can't effectively differentiate between rote memorization and real understanding, in a lot of cases. You need a good educator to provide a bit more context if you _really_ want to know.

And that's really what it comes down to. Context is everything here. A letter grade can't really tell you if a student is overwhelmed or unmotivated.

I think, when it comes to grades and tests, the outliers I described above will average out over time. A percentage grade alone is not sufficient to provide good direction for a child's education, but a low grade does a pretty decent job of letting you know that something is going wrong.

> New immigrants will favor Canada over the immigrant hostile, gun-obsessed and anti-science US.

I've been hearing that for a long time, especially during the last 4 years. Yet it has not materialized.

Often, for international workers, attorneys will file twice: one in Canada and one in the US. If the US one gets slapped with RFEs or isn't strong enough to qualify, the Canadian one is used and is systematically approved.

> Whats more likely to happen in that Canada may finally get a robust and dynamic technology labor market.

Negotiating easier free trade with the US as well as matching US law would be more productive, as it would dramatically expand the customer base. But what's crucially lacking is a strong investment culture of venture capitalism and risk taking.
Linus' comments are surprising to me.

First, I would have thought that Rust is far too much like C++ for him. :-)

Second, he seems remarkably calm about the very idea of a compiler inserting memory allocations in kernel code. He's only talking about panics. It's been a long time since I was involved in any kernel code, but invisible allocations would have set me (and any kernel programmers I knew) off worse than the worst rant anyone has ever seen from Linus. Any kind of invisible things (destructors, anyone?) would.
