Yes, Melbourne is well known for it but everywhere is pretty good. Its theorized that's why Starbucks failed in Australia. No one would tolerate sugared up mud water made by untrained teenagers when high quality coffee is everywhere.

Yes we definitely do in my experience.
I was born and raised in Italy and I've lived in Australia during the last 10 years. Before coming down under, I had a job where I had to move frequently so I've experienced coffee in many other countries as well. Australia is up there with Italy in my opinion. I've also heard good things about some parts of the US but I don't have first hand experience.
Anecdotally, I think Big Sur is better than either Mojave or Catalina: in my experience, it solves a lot of the bugs I was trying to avoid by sticking with High Sierra.

My analysis of that analogy is that "ocean," being on both sides of the equation, simply cancels out, so basically it is saying that a 3000 shipping containers equals one drop. Which I'm not buying. :)
Interestingly, they saw the same pathway patterns in non-coffee drinkers upon drinking coffee. I wonder whether the effect isn’t particularly “hardwired”, but is only constantly being re-stimulated with daily coffee consumption.
Mixing up terms in casual conversation happens to everyone, and is not a sign of a meaningful problem.
I looked this up just to make sure — it definitely, definitely is the majority of their revenue. Net sales on Amazon.com for Q1 2021 were $75 billion. AWS and “other” combined were $19 billion. [1]

As far as profit goes, you have a stronger argument — $6 billion vs. $4 billion for AWS alone. AWS has a 30% operating margin, jesus.

That extrapolation only works if the flu is equally as contagious as covid and also has identical methods of transmission (for example, it may be that covid transmits through the air more readily than the flu). But we know that covid is actually quite a bit more contagious, so you can't really make a linear extrapolation like that.
I'm curious — are there management consultancies out there with standards about what sort of projects they'll take? A consultancy that just outright rejects vague RFPs?

I would expect such a place would make for a much more satisfying, less soul-draining work environment.
Observational studies are still useful, even if they can’t prove causation. A study like this can open new question into how coffee effects the brain.

Indeed, and the discourse around American political polarization is centered around the Pew poll which poses binary choices like the one between "homosexuality should be accepted by society" or "homosexuality should be discouraged by society", not questions that have scales of agreement from 0-10.
One is protein congealed from milk and one is protein congealed from soybeans. This is pretty much what I meant by "nutritionally equivalent". (Though cheese contains a lot more fat than tofu does.)
IMO coffee is basically three distinct drinks:

1) Really, really, really shitty coffee that just tastes like bitter and stale, always. Often lots of ash tray in the flavor. (instant, many k-cups, some exceptionally bad gas station coffee, very bad pre-ground coffee usually bought in a large tin [though not all of that!])

2) Normal coffee. It is coffee flavored. It might taste very burnt if it's a dark roast. It might be bad coffee flavored, or good coffee flavored, but it is coffee flavored. This is nearly all coffee you buy at stores like Target. Ground or whole bean and preparation method makes a little difference, but not really that much. Anything involving a filter versus French-press will be fairly different, but that's about it.

3) Fine coffee, prepared well. It's... heavenly. Delicate. Notes of herbs and berry and all kinda of crazy stuff, clear enough that even this guy's crappy palate can pick it up. It's really expensive. It's basically a whole different drink from the entire rest of "coffee". It goes stale in maybe 3 days after opening the bag, so buying more than a little at a time is a bad idea unless you have many people drinking it. I've not found any method to preserve it longer that actually works.
Indeed there are a variety. Most supermarket chains these days have a couple different types of tofu to choose from.

Hi dang
Isn’t true they never turned a profit until AWS?

I wonder if the online marketplace by it self still doesn’t turn profit. Probably impossible to figure out with additions of services like Prime and Amazon Fresh.
Rust is rather painful compared to alternative choices for web servers today. I’ve had to write 10x the code in some circumstances for the same result and I find it becomes hard to reason when you have several async types.

However, it has attributes that match it extremely well with function as a service where memory usage, cold start times, consistent execution, and compute costs are major factors.

It’s extremely well suited to that environment. I expect to see it thrive here once some aspects of rust settle down further.

> Did we really avert 50M deaths by social distancing?

No, not even close.

> this implies that COVID deaths are also likely to have been reduced to ~1% from what they would have been without said measures

I don't think it implies that. There is nothing that says that the anti-COVID measures are about as effective at preventing spread of COVID as spread of flu.

> 500K deaths

Closer to 600k :(

This is among 32MM cases reported to the CDC, probably more like 80MM cases total.

Ignoring lots of factors, our ceiling for COVID is more like 4-10x what we've experienced, not 100X.
> doing it cold extracts all the flavours without damage

Well, no, flavors fluctuate with temperature. Temperature changes flavor degradation and dissipation, and what compounds are released or not released. Heat can actually contribute the preferred flavors that may be lacking in unheated brews, and vice versa. Hot coffee can be the best tasting coffee, for a very short period of time. Cold-brew coffee is stable for longer, and has less astringent, bitter, and sour flavors, which lends it a cleaner, brighter flavor, but can make it lack "body". Point being, you still have to taste it hot to find out if it's going to taste good hot.
I have seen another approach (also with STEM PhDs), where it isn't an income share, but rather that the incubator gets a referral fee if the student is hired--similar to a recruiter. Now, why do this? The math behind most of data science is rather basic for a number of PhD physicists--I would say the greatest weakness on the math front is that many will know probability, but not Bayesian statistics. However, the level of coding will be mixed with many not knowing about source control and a number coding in say Matlab rather than Python. Now, some have said that people can learn this on their own, which comes to the next reason. Physics graduate students and postdocs can put in extreme hours and their supervisors can expect those hours. 100+ hour weeks happen (especially for experimentalists--a number enter industry and it takes readjustment to figure out what to do with spare time). By formally leaving and joining an incubator, they give themselves space/time to learn--it's also a pretty intentional act where they have to decide that they are leaving the field (which can be psychologically difficult). The next is job interviews--the typical physicist has no idea what a data science interview will be like and coaching will help them a lot. Finally, there is networking, where the incubator may have connections with hiring managers where they can at least get people into interviews. I have seen people do either the incubator route or the DIY route and for those who have gone with the incubator (where they don't pay and the business model isn't a percentage of their salary coming from their pocket, but rather a recruiting fee going to the incubator from the company they get a job at), then they seem fairly satisfied with their experience.
Regarding what proponents of category theory argue as the purpose of category theory, [nlab] has some extremist takes, [chan] has a video series that shows us how a math student is typically sold on learning category theory, and [bauer] is a video which explores using a corner of category theory to formalize some basic computability results in a very different way to the usual formalism centered on Turing machines.

Well designed interface.
There might be something here if one can use this to render one's own notes? Or is this meant to render user provided content like Wikipedia?
A discount, in my opinion. Twitter is an amazing service that I pay nothing for. The conversations I monitor with the platform are valuable to me personally and monetarily. The ads are minimal and unobtrusive. I do use it compulsively sometimes, but that is the only downside.
> You could hold a non-complying party in jail/contempt of court for one, this happens with real world assets that do not get turned over now.

This doesn’t appear to resolve the issue of the blockchain reflecting a different reality than that decided by a court.

> But again there are implementation of blockchain solutions, where say the Company that issued shares did so on a smart contract and with a Court order they could burn half the tokens/stock in the wallet mint that same number and transfer them to the wife per the Court order.

How would this hypothetical court order be verified without the involvement of trusted third parties? Presumably judges in many places could be bribed or coerced into rubber stamping such an order.

This seems ripe for abuse.
> [P]lease bear in mind that this is not a prediction.

> The price we calculated here is one that we might see in the future if bitcoin continues its extraordinary growth path for all use cases.

Hilariously, the extraordinary growth part far exceeded the expectations of the author, but the number of use cases for BTC has (probably) decreased:

1. BTC not anonymous enough for illicit transactions now, especially when better currencies exist for this (eg Monero). But you may need to BTC to actually buy XMR, so maybe this still counts...
2. Its hard to justify buying things with an apparently deflationary asset which has significant fees associated with transactions: this is particularly true of microtransactions which are literally impossible to do on-chain now.
3. Remittances are plausible still, but again, the fees are now enough that its not nearly as attractive.

Only the author's 4th use case ("investment") seems applicable with BTC today. There are cryptocurrencies that do meet the use case requirements mentioned, albeit with limited point-of-sale coverage still, but BTC is definitely not one of them.
I'm sorry, but what industry doesn't rely on encryption? Every financial service relies pretty heavily on encryption.

As an aside, I personally would argue that in the age of big data/information that your populous having security is extremely important. Modern warfare (or all warfare) depends highly on information. TOR only works if average people use it. The military suggests soldiers use Signal because many times they've gotten in trouble because adversaries intercepted SMS messages to loved ones (or just someone getting some strange).

There is of course a question of balance, but personally I don't see one. Safer to encrypt everything imo.
I was specifically responding to them because of the comment you linked here.
They do explicitly say "lay offs" in the first sentence though, so they don't avoid the term completely.
Then that definition is garbage. How bad a disease is does not depend on how bad you expect it to be.
You're right, but in a way that makes the act even worse.

Very nice website, but it would be tremendous undertaking to create content under all the topics. I would imagine another possible approach is to provide a short summary and a link to Wikipedia (or other sites) for detailed content. Presenting knowledge as a tree / web is always an attractive idea to me.
By intra-government you mean like US vs China? (or any other competitors? We could say Israel and Germany) I think this has always existed though the information age has swung the balance to there being more importance for average citizens to have encrypted data in a more general sense and not just finance.
There's a form of regulatory capture where big companies benefit from having more stringent regulations because they are the only entities with enough resources to comply.

It certainly feels like Google is using the same playbook for web standards. They've created enough churn that no one else can ever hope to catch up in implementing those standards.

When Google products stop working on some competitors browser they can simply say "it's just web standards" and feign ignorance.
Exactly this, I think the key is to flexible. Sometimes the same person needs different things at different times too.

"share music and photos (not just of my kids)" -- am I the only one who was creeped out by this?
I’ve been watching a housemate try the program, and it is so obviously terrible, I reached out to Austen on Twitter and offered to help.

He gave me an email address and then didn’t reply to some very specific examples I gave of obvious mistakes that are not based in cost or labor saving.

Anyway, why should he listen to me. Except that these are just elementary learning mistakes, and the whole thing appears to be run in a chaotic and unprofessional manner.

My friend will almost certainly quit. It is just so unfortunate because the premise is great.
I’ve pondered this for a while and determined it’s better to make the investment. Strictly speaking you may not need it in some companies, but more often than not, you’d have a promotional advantage by having one.
"Epidemic" isn't "Is a disease bad?". It's "Is this disease occurring at a level above expected?"

You can have very serious endemic diseases - malaria is one example. But "Occurring to a level above expected" is an important piece of information all its own - for example, five cases of Smallpox, while only five cases, is something of an emergency, whereas five cases of influenza is not a serious crisis.
Their kid is probably not a baby cow, for starters.

Helpful Breakdown of Git Branches
Yeah, the web framework situation is also just fairly early right now. Rocket looks promising but it's not at 1.0 yet, and the current release still requires the nightly compiler. It does a whole lot to improve the ergonomics, but even then it's not as easy as Python or Go. So it depends on the usecase.

The good news is that the microservices trend makes it easy to optimize the "hot services" with a different language than what you use to throw together all your normal services.
The "Dole" case you're talking about was not actually how you describe it. This will shock no-one who is used to "blockchain" fans trying to bamboozle them.

[Edited to add: The court case that makes this happen isn't related to the share records, it's just the routine shadiness of business owners trying to pay less than something is worth, the discrepancy is noted after the court case is done when trying to reconcile the people who have proof they owned shares, and thus are entitled to a settlement versus how many shares existed]

The record keeping worked exactly as intended but it isn't how people tend to imagine, and this is the difference you've tried to portray as somehow being solved by a blockchain when in fact it would not be.

Specifically, those millions of "extra" shares are because of short selling.

Some of the people who had good reason to believe they'd owned Dole shares, had in fact bought from short sellers who'd sold shares they didn't yet have. If Dole had not gone private, the short seller buys those shares (maybe for a lot more but they hope for a lot less) and passes them on. But it did go private, so the short seller is responsible for paying up what the private buyer agreed to pay for these shares. This part all worked, all those shareholders got their money.

But the court case changes how much money they were entitled to, years later - and since the court isn't in the business of doing complicated financial paperwork it just told the businesses which implement all this it's their problem and wished them luck. Most of these owners will be huge institutions and will have an existing relationship with an equally huge broker and that relationship will have likely determined what happened next (e.g. this loss from hard-to-trace shorts isn't worth it, just give them their money in full and write it off).

The blockchain could have exactly reproduced this outcome, but it would not have improved upon it at all.
32.8 million Americans have had confirmed positive tests for COVID-19 as of April 26[1], and the current US population is 328.2 million, so at a minimum 10% of the people in the US have gotten COVID. A maximum of 100% of the people in the US could be infected[2], so that implies an upper bound of 10x worse or 5M deaths averted by all interventions combined. US CDC estimates that about 3 - 3.5x as many people have contracted as have tested positive[3], so a more realistic upper bound is that COVID-19 would have been 3x worse without any intervention (assuming that 100% of people would have been infected without intervention).

So that gives you an upper bound. I'm not sure how to get a lower bound but it might be possible for someone with sufficient statistical know-how.

I don’t think the point of the article to imply the entire consulting industry is like this.
