No, it's safer to lend to someone who has handled credit well (i.e. by paying it back) than someone who has no track record.

There's a catch-22 if rules are so strict so that you can't get credit because you haven't had credit before, but in general "positive" credit reporting seems pretty beneficial.

>People developed "Coronamüdigkeit" (being sick of the restrictions)

People developed sickness of restrictions because the restrictions were not tight enough to completely stop the spread, but tight enough to become annoying when dragged along for so many months (a year?).

So this half-assed restriction policy were we're kind of, sort of, locked down, but not really, got people annoyed.

The problem is, even if you want to tighten the measures now to wipe out the virus, you can't, because people are already burned out from the previous half-assed measures trat dragged on for so long.

> Its lack of flexibility is an important feature, too (no JS, no styles, and only one way to make text bold)

HTML has two ways to make things bold: b and strong. But only one way to make a toplevel heading, h1.

Markdown has one way to make things bold: ** **, but two ways to make a toplevel heading: # or ======

Other users have commented that Markdown in the wild is now little more than an alternative syntax for HTML, with scripts and other tags freely embeddable.

Moreover, HTML is basically HTML: we used to have problems with browser compatibility, but most of those are in the land of CSS and Javascript now. Whereas Markdown can be found in different flavors. Aside from the burden on the author to know what flavor they are writing, it limits the reusability of documents. Consider a git repo that has a Github-flavored README.md file written for github, but it is also shown as part of the package documentation in a language specific library repository that shows the same README.md file using a simpler flavor of Markdown. The basic tags probably all work fine, but the broken CI badges will perhaps make it frustrating to read.

HTML and Markdown both began with the best of intents as declarative document markup schemes. But because it is much harder to design a declarative programmer interface than an imperative one, both have accreted junk.

A nice property of logic programming is that its semantics don't depend on "time": it just turns data into data (unlike "imperative" programming, like C, Java, etc. which rely on state changing over time). This is why logic programming is sometimes called "declarative".

Whilst concurrency and parallelism are a bit of a nightmare in imperative languages (e.g. multithreading), they turn out to be trivial in such "declarative" languages; in fact the difficulty is usually in reducing parallelism, to keep down the context-switching overheads.

Traditional logic programming languages like Prolog work in a single-threaded depth-first manner, i.e. to execute something like `main` we look at its definition, which might have multiple "clauses" depending on the input data (a bit like doing a `switch` or `cond` to figure out what to return); Prolog will see if the first condition applies, and if so it will start calculating the corresponding definition, which will probably involve some mixture of calls to other functions; it will execute those functions in a similar way. However, it will also "remember where it got up to" during the execution of 'main'; if the definition fails (or if we've asked for more than one result!), it will "back track" and try the next clause. This sort of like having a try/catch in each switch clause, and moving on to the next clause if there's an exception.

Strand seems similar, but rather than trying one clause at a time, depth-first; it instead runs all of the clauses concurrently. This doesn't need to "remember" anything or back-track; if a particular clause fails then its thread dies, leaving the others (if any) to keep going.

It seems like a remarkably simple way to achieve massive parallelism, especially for those already familiar with logic programming.

> multi-cloud topic is snake oil, an engineering self-purpose and basically the ORM discussion of the '00 years reloaded.

well it really depends.

guess what with k8s you can do a lot of stuff if you want the most simple high availability:

- regional clusters/multi-az, that most cloud offers
- single region/single az clusters, but still a combined load balancer
- multi cloud single region/single az, i.e. only target a single az
- multi cloud multi region/multi az

the thing is for many it might be simple to "use multi cloud single region/single az, i.e. only target a single az"

the biggest problem in these multi cloud setup is mostly not some orchestration that needs to happen on top, there are many tools that can do that. it's mostly how to have a backing store that supports it and how to have a load balancer that might not fail if cloud's go down.

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic in wide human and veterinary use since the early 1980s. It is also fairly broadly studied, in no small part because it's one of the most effective drugs in its class. That it should double as a highly effective broad-spectrum antiviral is not impossible, quite, but anyone advancing the claim badly needs to explain why, over all the dozens of studies and millions of doses over multiple decades, no one has noticed this supposedly very obvious antiviral efficacy before now. The next person I see try to explain that will be the first.

I think we shoud force manufacturers of the stuff to take back in the garbage it becomes.

To be allowed to sell n batteries you need to buy k*n from the garbage collectors. Then just fine tune k, but it can't be 0.

That would provide money flow from people that make vast amounts of money from making things that will ultimately become the garbage, to the people that are dealing with that garbage.

I don't think the batteries are the problem yet, but we might start doing this with manufacturers of plastic packaging.
You've pointed out the irony: it's not that easy and yet it is. I'd be skinnier if I skipped dessert more often, and while it isn't that simple, skipping dessert is the only sure way to get skinnier. There is no simpler or more effective measure I could take.
Many legal systems allow limited retribution, if it can be seen as proportional to self-defense.

That said, there's an overarching idea that one shouldn't try to "get even" by lowering oneself to the other person's level. Proportionality as a legal concept makes it legal to defend yourself, but illegal to escalate the threat.

E.g. one can use fists against fists, but if B stabs A to death, it will be hard to claim it was in self defense, since there is no obvious proof that A was looking to murder B by punching B to death.

If it is possible to refrain from violence and use the justice system to replace it (by having B press charges against A), then that ought to be a more civil outcome.

One could argue that the reason to have a legal system is so that B does not have to go around preparing to punch back, but can spend her time doing more productive things and that is how we end up with a civil society, with a high level of productivity and freedom of expression, and a minimum level of violence.

"BL did not waive any constitutional rights when she signed the cheer contract."

This is very interesting. I guess they mean any off campus rights. Many rights are clearly restricted on campus, including school events at any location. I also see the bring up that the prohibited conduct in the contract is not strictly defined. Yet we have plenty of laws which are also not strictly defined and they are upheld (so much for lenity).

Thanks for the link. It's interesting that the judges contend that they should only be looking at the first snap even though the background contains quoted testimony that both captions were part of the concern. Then they go on to say that the first caption is not information, which might be true. But the second one does have negative information about the selection decision. Although it's also interesting that opinions are not considered information, when by any other test they would be. I just find it odd that they would overlook the testimony they quoted in the background previously. And a similar issue with when they talk about the act occurring between seasons, yet tryouts were supposedly just held for that season.

It's also interesting that they didn't examine it from a performance aspect. They do mention a test of whether the person can be punished off campus for the speech. They only investigate this from the standpoint of the team being "the government". They do not look into whether private teams punish students for similar issues, and thus if the school team requires the same customary practices to effectively function. Essentially the same reasoning that schools are allowed to restrict other rights in the classroom - that they need the customary authority that comes with the implementation of activity (school, team, etc) because being restricted to only the role of government would make them an ineffective institution. It makes one wonder if the government should be involved in education at all if it requires constant exceptions to constitutional rights, that essentially the elements of running a school are in contention with the laws of the government and the rights of the students. I guess we just have to wait for the SCOTUS decision to remedy the split.
> But the 20th century was full of people from poor backgrounds (includings immigrants arriving with 0 dollars) making it in e.g. arts. So much so, that the "starving artist" is a cliche.

First up, the "starving artist" cliché isn't one because of those artist who got really really rich. It's a cliché because of all the very poor artists that were starving.

Secondly, survivor bias. Don't focus on the few artists who escaped the clutches of starvation to frame the group as a whole. Especially in case the calling may be abandoned in order to not starve.

How many "starry night"s could we have had if no one ever needed to Weeley about food, shelter, or safety?

While apple is known to be unfriendly for 3rd party repairs, the sad reality is that a lot of hardware vendors are going that way.

How the UK found the first effective Covid-19 treatment
Sounds like the doctors you spoke with didn't have any experience with ivermectin and are referencing old information (1000x standard dosage is needed). There are many doctors who do use it and see good results. Slovakia recently started using Ivermectin widely in March (https://twitter.com/BIRDGroupUK/status/1385990416730923013) and saw steep reduction in deaths.
