As one of the guys who gets "shoulder tapped" for a lot of stuff, I can say I'm a lot more productive from home because I can work through a task and then check my messages. Nobody walks up to my desk at home and interrupts me. But now, while I'm busily working, I imagine those people who were used to just walking up and getting an answer probably panic and message 5 different people waiting for a response rather than just walking up to a single desk and demanding attention right then.
Five Myths Holding Decentralized Data Storage Back
I'm writing an online book right now, the advice to build your samples as you outline is really good. I've stumbled to that conclusion myself. Nothing like writing a series of samples to make you figure out what should or should not have been covered yet, and in what order you should introduce concepts (which for me is the hardest part of outlining).

I have a highly fuzzy result in my sarcasm detection here.

It's because I can understand this to mean either that:

1. Terraform is so difficult managing cloud services that you'll give it all up and run for the hills of bare metal once again.

- or -

2. it's so good you'll want to swear off the cloud providers and switch to running your own infra using Terraform and not the cloud services own tools.

Given other comments I can easily see this going both ways.
Possibly very controversial rant ahead.

I used to love KDE 1 and 2, since KDE 3 they've adopted this really bland interface I can't push myself to like. It's like there's only three available colours: light grey, light desaturated blue, and white. The whole desktop is a desaturated grey-bluish interface with grey icons that doesn't have any personality, feels cool, bland and insipid. And when it's not grey, it's icons without any cohesion with the rest of the system using all colours of the spectrum, giving them a Fisher-Price look. It feels as inviting as if it were the user interface for a medical device, smelling of bleach and trying its hardest not to have any personality whatsoever.

One can dislike GNOME how much they want but at least there is a soul to the design, like there was a soul to the original Windows 95 design. At least it used colours with more than 10% saturation.

I really wish KDE would stop adding features and knobs and more settings panels and just adopted an OPINIONATED design guideline. Choose a brand colour, explore the palette a little bit that's not grey and blue grey and white grey.

Can you explain how this works, how it avoids tax? Taking a $100 loan still means you’ll need an income of $100 (plus interest) future income and tax paid on this income...

If you’re gonna say “they benefit in the extra capital gains between now and when the loan is repaid” - no, that can’t be it, that’s exactly equivalent to taking a $100 loan and investing in stocks instead (i.e. leverage).
ASN.1 is not a binary protocol. It is a language to describe messages.

Typically you create message description which is then compiled to code that can serialize/deserialize messages in BER-TLV or PER-TLV.

I know because I wrote a complete parser/serializer for BER-TLV. It is simple protocol and any security issue is in the parser/serializer and not the protocol itself. That for simple reason that the protocol is nothing more than a format to serialize/deserialize the data.

From their other article, https://www.propublica.org/article/why-we-are-publishing-the...

“We do not know the identity of our source. We did not solicit the information they sent us. The source says they were motivated by our previous coverage of issues surrounding the IRS and tax enforcement, but we do not know for certain that is true. We have considered the possibility that information we have received could have come from a state actor hostile to American interests. In particular, a number of government agencies were compromised last year by what the U.S. has said were Russian hackers who exploited vulnerabilities in software sold by SolarWinds, a Texas-based information technology company. We do note, however, that the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration wrote in December that, “At this time, there is no evidence that any taxpayer information was exposed” in the SolarWinds hack.“

The marketing for FV is indeed rare in larger software industry, probably because of quite small susceptible market. The latter is small, because 1) the FV process is expensive 2) it gives only limited benefits.

Most of the marketing that exists for FV in software is done by academia and few MIC companies like Greenhills Software or General Dynamics. In practice almost nobody in software produces formally verified software. And when they do, like the few examples that exist, the proof only guarrantees what design could foresee, and only if assumptions are satisfied which is not trivial in real deployments. It may work for avionics on special isolated simple hardware, but cloud hosted VMs on x86/ARM connected to Internet is probably too far.

Playdate Update (Live)
Oh I'm not talking about disks... this is based on how SnowFS (the library for this project) splits up big files into chunks:

https://github.com/Snowtrack/SnowFS/blob/main/src/common.ts#...

The intent is a simple form of delta encoding, the hope is that many chunks will be common between two versions.
As with most laws, the intention is noble but the outcome may not be. Every time a new law seems to be passed "strengthening" the tax code, it seems mysteriously effective against those who can't afford to pay a law firm's retainer and a lobbying group's salaries.
I don't see the problem. As long as there is 2% inflation that wealth needs to be put to work in a way that ends up employing someone, therefore the employee benefits from the existence of the wealth that someone else carried hundreds of years into the future.
Medicaid asks a LOT of questions, the food bank does not.

You are saying a for profit system can work. You are about pricing in that scenario too. Fair enough. Given your perspective, your position on this is understandable. It is not agreeable, in my view.

Our way of provisioning food could be improved significantly. Food differs from health care significantly. Secondky, that we have food banks at all is deplorable and embarrassing.

That is all I care to entertain on that largely useless comparison.

I am attacking the profit motive in health care specifically because it carries an inherent conflict of interest and is poorly aligned with markets.

In any case, I am going to stop here for real, and just make it clear I do oppose health care as a market and do so because people do not have control over their need to participate and we all know what happens in a must buy, cannot walk away from the deal scenario: lowest value for the most possible dollars.

That comes up ALL the time and is why most of the world has removed that conflict of interest from the task of fixing sick or hurt people.
that’s the point - ultra rich main concern is not a number in the bank, but that they remain “on top”, so of course they lobby for more taxes which would make it harder for others to approach them in the amount of wealth
This makes no sense to me.

If I run a file through age, and then run that through a Reed-Solomon encoder, I now have a file that can be decoded even with single bit errors. But I think I also still have authenticated encryption. The cost is that my file takes a bit of extra space.

Sure, primary residence could be excluded. But that doesn't change anything about what I said, except perhaps blunt the initial impact on the middle class.

> The government, as soon as practical, can auction the stock it receives. Thus identifying its value and releasing the funds.

Perhaps that could be part of the tax law. I doubt it would stay that way... once the government can own stocks and portions of real estate, I'm sure it will seek to incrementally increase its benefit from doing so. I shudder to imagine politician-beaurocrats as the most powerful hedge fund managers of tomorrow.

Some 'random smart person' or 'some random notable smart person'?

Perhaps what people react to is the implied wisdom and halo around PG. That creates the negativity. It's the 'he's achieved something therefore what is being said is notable'.

If PG wanted he could post same thoughts under some assumed name or blog (without having Trevor, Paul et all review first) and what people think.

Also he is not opining about an issue where his expertise in particular is anything special. What he has achieved in life (that creates the halo) is not related to what he is talking about. And even in what his area of expertise is (startups or programming) he is not even close to being right most of the time (maybe programming because that is more science than art).

> So then why complain about the people following the rules?

I did not.

The rest of your comment seems to be about the same misunderstanding.
But is it faster? That is the important question.

If all you are after are the ends, the best means are ones that require the least effort.
Because it was not mentioned in the post, and it is very hard to reason about just by looking at a layout.

My main complaint is actually not specific to this layout (which seems fine, TBH) but a more general one. Trying to optimize for good bigrams is just as important as avoiding bad ones.

Now, probably not unlike you, I currently write in a couple of languages daily (all Germanic, so maybe not a huge problem) so this seems easier said than done.
My Etrade account has that option. But I don't use it because it's risky. If you take out a loan collateralized by a stock, the stock could drop and you'd owe a lot of money.

Selling the stock locks in the gain. Now, if you only need say 1/2 the value as cash and can absorb the risk of the stock going down, then it makes sense. Or if you want to "buy insurance" by taking out an opposite short position, that would also make sense. But that short position will cost you money too.

So it's not as straightforward as "just take out a loan". You need a very good (and expensive) tax accountant to run the numbers and figure out the best strategy for your situation. Most people can't afford that.
You think the IRS works for us... that's cute.

Unless you are a large corporation / billionaire yourself, in which case I apologize, yes it works for you.
We started with some napkin math, graduated to a complicated spreadsheet, and then tried to distill that into this rough calculator: https://runway.team/release-cost-calculator. General idea was to capture the cost of wasted time spent coordinating and herding cats instead of doing real work! We think there are even more hidden costs not captured here though - e.g. upkeep for in-house tooling or effort spent onboarding new team members.

I've not heard of Promethease before this discussion. It appears it will collect literature based on Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the DNA you send it.

Variant callers are a family of algorithms that look at the DNA in your sample and determine the SNPs. When thinking about coverage, quality scores assigned to sequence reads, and other pieces of information that may affect the variant caller, I would think about these inputs through their effect on detecting/classifying a variant. In other words, through metrics like accuracy, false positive rate, or false negative rate. State of the art variant callers are a little more complicated now, but simpler variant calling pipelines filter out variants that are of insufficient quality or read depth. This will primarily improve the false positive rate. If you are okay with casting a wide net in your search for a diagnosis and acknowledge that you may be seeing more false positives, then it's okay to go with a lower coverage assay.

As other commenters have pointed out, 30x coverage is widely accepted for germline sequencing. This is in contrast to somatic sequencing, which is more often done in the clinic for conditions like cancer where we expect much more variation among the DNA in the sample. Since that is not a concern in this case, you are probably fine to go for lower coverage options.

Edit: spelling
You just described your queerness in 1 word, so that’s ~20 bits of information. Having also summed up the other 2 conditions in a single world call it’s at most ~60 bits of information to describe all 3.

Technically what we normally call grains (e.g. wheat, corn, rice) are all members of the grass family. The reason why grasses are extremely common around the world it that they are pretty resilient to being eaten or mowed. Meadows consist of perennial grasses. In agriculture meadows are harvested are harvested multiple times.

There should be more research into perennial grains.
I didn't say formally verified software is bullshit. I said the marketing here is. FV software exists but its benefits are very limited (basically it's a debugging tool). Running VMs on x86 or ARM in cloud has much more serious problems related to security than using not-formally-verified hypervisor.
> If we think that "everyone" will have to "overdeclare" in such fashion, then obviously the government is collecting more revenue than it intended and will lower the tax rates to compensate, …

If everyone over-declares by the same amount, sure. But not everyone will. It depends on how much attachment one has to a specific item, how much risk there is that someone will attempt to take it, and how painful or inconvenient it would be to lose it. And you're ignoring the point about being vulnerable to motivated individuals willing to pay above-market rates purely to cause trouble.

> So, how does blockchain help?

Because the data is entered into the blockchain by automated systems and can be verified with cryptographic keys.

You seem to have invented a strawman system in which a blockchain replaces a spreadsheet and a human can type whatever they like into it.

This is not the suggested use case for blockchains at all, not in enterprise and not anywhere else. The allure is blockchains is in automated smart contracts that don't rely on human honesty and aren't as prone to human error.

(I say as prone because, obviously, as with any code, humans still have to write the smart contracts. Security audits are extremely important here especially for enterprise critical applications. But the end result is a publicly accountable ledger and that includes the smart contracts themselves too. So your hypothetical would be impossible unless you hired a black hat. Even in the worst case scenario of a malicious smart contract, however, you'd have permanent public logs of exactly what was done, how, and when, and when its code written by an employee of yours, that makes it quite easy to work out who.)
I've been homeschooling my children for about four years, and figuring out how to achieve experiential learning has been a primary goal for the entire time. It has been very tricky for me to get it right, because there is a constant need to balance between over- and under-challenging them, and the process of struggling that's so crucial to learning is also self-defeating because it generates so much frustration. Emotional resilience is a skill that I think is foundational to being able to learn in this way, but it's been glossed over in the materials I've read on constructivist learning. The closest I've seen is the material about growth mindsets, but it's generally vastly oversimplified in my opinion.

The approach I'm currently working with is to ask them to do difficult tasks (such as math problems that don't have a straightforward, mechanical process to produce an answer), then I watch them work. When they get stuck, I try to get them to explore what they know and think about what would help them break a bit of new ground, but so far it's been very hard to guide without showing. Generally, they struggle for a bit and then I show them a couple of ways in which they could make progress. This seems to have very good results, but I can't imagine how it could be institutionalized effectively when you start to get beyond the most elementary topics. Even with only two students it's challenging to manage.
Yeah good point, for that matter you need to trust the app isn't cc'ing the FBI on every message you send.

The next article in the series states that the mass of citizens with equivalent wealth pay about 100x the tax.
