> not tinkering with the storage, tune the parameters, scheduled backups, automatic scalability etc - that's done for you.

Thing is: if we're looking for free, that may make sense. you still need tinkering though: you need to figure out what the whole dyno thing is about and how to connect from one dyno to another, and so on.

However, if we expand this a tiny bit to cheap and/or free, then simply running the lowest-tier server at Digital Ocean will be a better proposition. And installing a database these days is basically the same thing: run a command to install, all you need is to connect to it. No tinkering. And it will still probably scale significantly better than a free tier at Heroku :)

Once again, I'm biased and old, and can afford to spend money on side projects. I know that sometimes even $15 a month is out of reach (oh, I've been there). But yeah, this sorta prevents me from ever understanding Heroku :)

Something here smells deeply hypocritical.

Currently vaccine companies such as the German Curevac (which is the vaccine company Trump famously tried to buy) is being held back by lack of core ingredients which are under American export bans.

The US still upholds the export bans setup by the Trump administration. Biden can just revoke those. Yet he promotes the idea of waivering vaccine patents knowing well how hard that would be to do in practice.

And exactly how is it supposed to work? Will Pfizer no longer have to pay license fees to BioNTech?
That's a fascinating theory, but also quite a wild claim which seems to be hard to falsify ? (And the link with the matter at hand is even more tenuous, since it's only partially genetic.)

The Earthquake warning system works through the fact that the signal travels faster than the ground waves. So, earthquake occurs and is detected. A warning is sent out. The amount of time between the warning and when you feel shaking is entirely dependent on how far you are from the epicentre. It won't give you much time, but it should be enough to get under a table, or to move away from windows that could break or things that could fall on you.

baseline suggestion: don't try to actively manage your own investment portfolio and pick stocks. don't outsource management of your portfolio to active managers that charge high fees. outsource your investment to a diversified low-fee passively managed fund (e.g. those popular low fee diversified vanguard ETFs that use market cap weighting). Such passive investment approaches seem kind of dumb (like, surely one could do better by considering the fundamental economic value of businesses, not merely their market cap) but the average investor will end up wealthier by investing in passive ETFs.

One big downside of trying to manage your portfolio yourself is that you have many more opportunities to make unforced errors (particularly behavioural errors), e.g. trading based on emotion, trading based on poor decision making, etc. If you outsource investment decisions to an organisation with a disciplined process and low fees then you prevent yourself from making many of these errors.

If unemployment is low then this is not a matter of viability though. Redistribution of wealth is necessary but only to the point where it enables productive work to be done.
The somewhat ironic logic here being that a name referencing a place is very unlikely to come from that place. If Jordi moves from a Catalan area to an Occitan area then he (and his descendants) might be known as "Jordi the Catalan". It wouldn't be very useful to pick that as a name for someone who never left though.

Of course nowadays people's names are mostly just symbolic, and you can move to England and still be called Johnny English.

Indian pharmacies already disregard medication patents without anybody's permission.

Vaccine manufacturing is just a way more involved process than anything what an average organic synthesis shop can handle. Dealing with antibodies, proteins, plasmids, or RNA requires real factories rather than garage labs.

What one need is a complete process transfer: instructions on setting up every process, along with supplies needed, and operation training, and supervision.
Is it reasonable to believe that the knowledge that the USA doesn't intend to support the pursuit of damages for patent violation would have an impact on manufacturers now.

If you held a firm conviction that in the near future you'd be able to act on the IP without being in violation, would you be more motivate to progress toward doing so more swiftly?

As a patent holder, would you feel more secure that you could issue cease and desist notices and peruse damages after the waiver is lifted?
The NIH has claims on the 2P mutation in the spike that appears to make it better. Cellscript holds the N1mPsi patent (may not be essential, watch for CureVac p3 read out soon).

Everything else is confidential know-how, which is already scaling as fast. I'm not sure exactly what this gets anyone...

How does patent waiving work? It makes the patent invalid? Is it for a specific amount of time or do vaccines become CC0? What will happen when other countries start selling the vaccines (new covid vaccines will be the norm every year)? What about vaccine supplies ?

Considering that the inventors are Biontech, oxford/AZ and Moderna (who won't enforce their patent), it seems like an easy decision for the US to make.

Depends. Did they put that money through market-approved means, like investments or advance payments for future contracts? Then it's fine. Not different than say Apple helping out one of its suppliers.

Did they use some of their other, shady, pork-like ways? Then things are even more murky and muddled and anything is allowed I guess.

Lets not forget that the actual market for these vaccines was not free but completely FUBAR: I could not buy one anywhere and at any price.

>People have used the wording "No state" to imply that the Federal government is not a state

in a document delineating what qualifies as states and what qualifies as the federal government with all sorts of text about relations between the two it would seem to be a really reasonable implication to make.

Furthermore your example is in a paragraph that starts "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation", by your logic it follows that the Federal Government cannot ever enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation because the Federal Government is after all a State.

>> How does anyone know they got away with a crime if their cases never went to trial?

Based on probability, you can safely assume that some percentage of them were guilty. That is more correct than assuming that they were all innocent. But to presume innocence simply on the basis that they were not convicted is itself part of the problem wereby the procedure and the wording takes precedence over the intent.

In reality, there is no certainty; some guilty people will be acquitted and some innocent people will be charged. To put too much weight on the words 'guilty' or 'innocent' is to ignore this reality.

Patents are a distraction tactic, including this move by the US. The real power that corporations exert today comes from trade secrets (laws/system):

> Hiding inventions as trade secrets acts to protect these huge multinational corporations [...] This is the reason that huge multinationals lobby so hard for strong trade secret laws and weak patent laws. This is clearly shown in Musk’s low valuation of his patents and high valuation of trade secrets.

> Trade secret protection for inventions that could otherwise be patented is bad public policy because it stifles the progress of innovation [as the knowledge does not end up in the public domain as happens when patent claims expire] and it consolidates money, markets and power into a few huge corporations [...]

The author in this article goes into more detail on the pattern (and history) of human discovery and scientific breakthroughs by using some great examples like the development of the sewing machine, as well as Musk’s purchase of the trade secrets of Maxwell Technologies.

The fascinating thing about LL was how in touch with death it put people.

But before modern medicine and modern industrialism seeing death was a CONSTANT part of life for most of human history.

Wars, disease, childbirth, work accidents etc. The world was a much more dangerous and deadly place.

A canal was built in my city and thousands of people died while building it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Basin_Canal

Now things are so safe and we rarely see death outside of the confines of a funeral home or something.

Death has become strange and foreign event to people in the west, which is good from a quality of life perspective.

But also bad because we're so out of touch with the natural world that I think it warps human beings psyche a little bit.
We also had the heatwave a few years ago that killed a lot of forests (at least in Germany) and probably contributed to the damage bark beetles are now causing. And I'm sure the massive wildfires in Australia and North America in 2019/2020 destroyed a lot of timber, too.

But the problem doesn't seem to be the timber supply, weirdly enough.
It literally is like that. If your company cannot compete with such a low "salary" your company shouldn't exist. It means your company is taking away resources from the economy and requires direct support from the government to function.

At that point it makes more sense to just give money to individuals directly so that they can spend the money on actually productive companies.
Ok, in the context of that time, that apples devices had the best hardware (and optimized drivers) - then yes, it makes some sense, that apple would have the best mobile apps, so win in that regard.

But since he clearly stated the goal as apple should have the best apps, I am not convinced, that he would have continued to push for a open technology, that would run well on any good hardware, whether apple or not.

And in 2010 the competing smartphones were already not that far behind.
This seems like a performative move that does nothing at best, and destroys the credibility of mRNA vaccines at worst.

The manufacture of these vaccines is not simple. It is not simply a matter of the US “waiving” a patent. However if other countries decide to participate in this performance, they may end up just manufacturing a vaccine which doesn’t work.

The virus is killing thousands per day. Do you really think a major country like India isn’t manufacturing the cure simply because of a patent?

China blatantly, openly, and proudly flaunts patents as a core part of their manufacturing economy. Why aren’t they manufacturing the mRNA vaccines, giving it away to countries that want it, and looking like the good guy here?

Because waiving the patent does nothing but generate positive press. It’s a fugazi.

I disagree. ZFS is great on Linux. The killer feature of FBSD is its simplicity and lack of incoherence in focus, which all the Linux distros suffer from. People don't see to be able to differentiate between these issues: Linux distributions' diversity of features and options is not a problem - it is the lack of focus & coherency of their management. This makes it harder to help other people on the same distro, to collaborate about bugs on the same distro, etc... Then you read an OBSD/FBSD thread from developers who aren't really better than developers on Linux threads - and you see much more coherency; because of the coherency in the systems they're working on.
