> The total fertility rate—a snapshot of the average number of babies a woman would have over her lifetime—fell to 1.64.

To put that in perspective, replacement-level fertility is 2.1. The US has been below-replacement since 1973 [1]. Yet the population has grown (or rather, been added to) from 203M in 1970, to 332M in 2020 [2], despite the contribution of the 1970s population having diminished.

In the private sector it is not unheard of for a salesperson to drop 5 figures on champagne. If salesman from firm A is willing to give an exec or buyer a night to remember once or twice a year, with booze costing one or two weeks salary before tax, and the salesperson from firm B simply sends a "happy holidays" card once a year, it can easily sway that exec even if they believe they are unbiased.

I can't claim any expertise, but I don't think we would. The Indian Ocean is vast, so it's no surprise that we didn't find any floating debris in the rough region of the presumed crash site.

Usually it requires localized knowledge, but that's possible for many.

I wonder... what's the actual crime here? I don't know how US law works. In my country there is no "bribe" in the private sector, it's probably still not allowed in some cases (certainly publicly traded companies), but I'm assuming Netflix wasn't a public company during that time. Can someone explain?

If a director is given freedom to make certain purchasing decisions on behalf of a company (private company at that point, I assume), why specifically is it a criminal offense in the US to be rewarded money for it? (I don't mean money laundering i.e. hiding source of income, I mean the actual "bribe")

[Edit] I did just find out that my country also has "management bribery" as a criminal offense within the private sector.
Unsure of the practicality - but definitely the most stylish way to board a ship.

> It's easy to forget that CPython is not that optimised generally,

"Not that optimised" is actually an understatement. In my experience, CPU-heavy code typically becomes 10-100x faster if you port it from Python to a language like C (without even trying to be clever or using SIMD assembly).
This logic extends to individuals. “Most” people aren’t doing any “good” by the lofty standards of people who make these statements.

So let’s just get rid of everyone?

Or maybe this is a bad standard.

You're talking a 'get paid/don't get paid' decision here.

When you look at this on a high enough distributed level, across enough users, this is the profit margin. Enough people can screw up and then be able to pay the cloud provider, that it is part of the business model. You're required to run some chance of producing a legitimate megabill.

Why be forgiving when your business model requires that you set traps for fools?

I’ll try to explain better with an example.

Say you want to buy crop futures on Ethereum using smart contracts. The contract is “trustless” it will execute according to the Ethereum rules. Once set in motion no one can interfere.

The problem is that the contract needs to know something about the outside world.

That’s where an oracle comes in: a provider of information to the smart contract.

The oracle could lie about the crop price as a scam to manipulate the market.

We must trust it so there are 2 things “who” runs it and also have they been providing reliable data in the past.

With this in place anyone can now write up futures contract or options contract or weirder stuff based on the price of the crop.

And other people can participate independently of both the oracle and the contract writer.

This is like taking apart the commodities market and turning into Lego to build anything.

The advantage over normal finance is probably akin to the advantage of Linux over Windows. You can hack Linux. You can compile everything. It is yours.

It’s hard to say what this will lead to but I can see a lot of cool ideas coming from it.

NFTs as they are called,
Which are tokens for things instead of money could add more. You could resell your games not at GameStop but on an automated marketplace on Ethereum. Just say “I want to resell this one for $40” and forget about it. One day $40 rolls into your account and the game stops loading up from steam. And that’s a simple example.

I could hack an IFTTT to say sell 3 games but only if I won’t make the rent. Of course this is in a future where you can pay your rent from crypto - but if they get the fees down you could have PayPal like transmitters between transferring money for small fee or even free.

The tilting causes discomfort. From the article: "In fact the Pendolino had to limit the tilt just to make sure passengers would feel some lateral acceleration, because it was capable of reducing the carbody centrifugal force to zero and this led to motion sickness as passengers saw the horizon rise and fall without any centrifugal force giving motion cues."

> Please CPython, upstream this or something like it. There reaches a point where this whole zeal about readability becomes idealistic and hurts real-world pragmatic goals. It's hurting the language and we can do better.

I don’t know here you are picking this from. What’s hurting performance is not readability, it is the flexibility of what you can do (hence: strict modules/static python in Cinder) which means it is really hard to perform optimizations as no assumptions hold unless you turn down the more permissive language features.

Another one is backwards compatibility, and I might get some flak from people still complaining about it more than 10 years after python 3.0, but things are still 99.9% compatible with decades-old code in python 3.9, and you can’t throw that away.

Finally, the numbers of people dedicated to improving CPython performance in an upstreamable fashion is ridiculously low compared to other languages, and especially compared to the number of businesses using it. There are quite few people working on performance, but not many of them appear to be doing it in the open and with the goal of upstreaming it in a non-breaking manner (kudos to the instagram engineers, I guess).

That's exactly what happened at Telstra (Australia's largest Telco).

Big exec launches a project costing something like 2 million dollars and two years to make an already working piece of in-house IT infrastructure reliant on a third-party product that charges per API call.

The project finishes up, then he quits and joins the board of the company that provides said third-party product.
Next exec comes along, realises that they're spending a million dollars a year on unnecessary API calls, spends another two years and two million dollars to rebuild a new version of the old system.

The naughty exec won't be offered another job at Telstra, but got away scott free because Australian law regarding white collar crime is toothless.

I would not want to be the competing cloud service, with self-imposed limits of only what people are willing and expecting to pay, going up against Amazon (or any other cloud service of that scale) where they not only have scale already, but are being paid the extra money regularly by people screwing up in small to medium ways (even IF the most massive screwups are 'forgiven' to devs who wouldn't have been able to pay anyway, but have twitter)

I don't believe there will be any new services with better billing UX through competitive pressure. You're basically asking the competing thing to take less money in order to win, as the distinguishing factor. It doesn't make sense as a way for them to win against the larger thing taking more money.

Probably the only practical solution would be arbitrary legislation forbidding the practice, as if it was anti-usury laws. Basically taking the guise of society and saying 'you may not do this, even if people are dumb'. And then you've got a problem (at scale) of people figuring out how to do hit-n-run megabilling and walking away under the legislation, having intentionally taken what they 'mistakenly' did.

Does it actually need checking, isn't it a tautology? Either the value of a variable is fixed or there must be some function [1] that describes the evolution of the value of the variable?

[1] This makes no assumptions whether you can know or compute or whatever this function, just that there exists some function from one state to the next.
