Doctors are doctors not research scientists. They are much more akin to engineers than scientists. There is also a massive amount of specialization in medicine (but not always in prescribing of medicine). Doctors absolutely rely on the work of scientists to help guide them. Doctors are not really trained in how to gauge the efficacy of medicines.

The book in the post explicitly makes that point. It shows multiple people who might be labeled different races with the exact same skin color, for instance.

It's making the point that skin color is far more diverse than simplistic ideas of race, and far less-correlated to race than one might think.

I think seeing everyone in a multi-dimensional spectrum, in which the viewer occupies one point and is not simply on one side of some line, like they might simplistically imagine, does a lot to show our commonality.
I think the article is saying that a web server (customers) should be stateless, because everything important should be in a database (data track) on another host. And that database probably has application level handling for duplicating writes to another disk or another host.

The conclusion seems to be that it's not important for hardware level data redundancy because existing database software already handles duplication in application code. I don't understand how that conclusion was reached. Hardware level redundancy like raid1 seems useful because it simplifies handling a common failure case when a single HDD or NVME fails on a database server. Hardware redundancy is just the first stage in a series of steps to handle drive failure. I do agree that a typical stateless server doesn't need raid1, but afaik it's not standard practice for a stateless web application to bother with raid1 anyway.

This is incorrect. I recently acquired an LTO-6 tape library; the tapes are <20€ for 2.5TB true capacity (marketing = "6TB compressed".) That's <8€/TB. Disk drives start at 20€/TB for the cheapest garbage.

Sources:

https://geizhals.eu/?cat=zip&xf=1204_LTO-6 (tapes)

https://geizhals.eu/?cat=hde7s&sort=r (disks)

(For completeness, the tape library ran me 500€ on eBay used, but they normally run about twice that. It's a 16-slot library, which coincidentally matches the breakeven - filled for 40TB it's 820€, the same in disks would've been 800€, though I would never buy the cheapest crappy disks.)

FWIW, a major reason for going for tapes for me was that at some point my backup HDDs always ended up used for "real". The tape library frees me from trying to discipline myself to properly separate backup HDDs ;)

I would say that "source code is the blueprint of a computer program". If you look at the wikipedia entry:

and even if no-one reads the definition, the term is in common use. Spies stealing blueprints of weapons in movies / real-life being an immediate example.

Reminds me of what Machiavelli said about coming to power using mercenaries and auxilieries the way the current crop of politicians have used tech today: "Captains of mercenaries are either able men or they are not. If they are, you cannot trust them, since they will always seek their own aggrandizement, either by overthrowing you who are their master, or by the overthrow of others contrary to your desire."

What did these companies think would happen if they became partisan mercenaries? Future reference: always back underdogs or nobody at all because when they win you still have some leverage. The platforms just made themselves disposable stepping stones and now they are being disposed of. I'm untroubled by it because it was staggeringly naive on their part to compromise themselves, and we need fresh platforms anyway, but they really walked right into that one.

In general, the monthly expense for a home is ~.5% of the home price. Comparing that to the rent is a decent starting point.

In your example, monthly expense of ownership is ~2250, which is lower than the rent of 3000.

Of course, this doesn’t take into account the down payment and risk associated with home price fluctuations.

I think the idea is that this world is one where the customer accepts that there may be an outage every Sunday because feature work can be done far more cheaply.
Aldi is similar, which is kind of interesting because Trader Joes is one of the Aldis. I always wonder how they get away with blatant trademark infringement.

You defeated your own argument :) I’m referring to the whole nation as poor which it is. Poor people rarely benefit from any government economic policies but in order to have them the government needs to be in a place to offer them to start with.

There’s some other points to be argued such as people now are holding an asset that is volatile but deflationary in nature by default and they have the option to convert and hold a currency which will lose value over time (USD). I’m not saying “bitcoin is going to save them” but its at least a novel approach that i think is worth exploring for countries in this position.
It always amazes me when someone says they can't ever be down, and then says they only serve from one physical location actively.

Yes, if you're using WDS, otherwise you only have three addresses used. Since you need the transmitting device to populate the DA, you can't just turn on bridging on a client and have everything work - you need both ends of the link to be involved.
You’re correct, but if there happened to be an outage during that time now you’d have to have your team working then anyway.

The existence of a planned downtime doesn’t necessarily mean deployments, or work, have to happen during that time.

Compare your solution with having 4 SBCs, with 1 NVME each, at different locations. The network client would handle replication and checksumming.

The total cost might be similar but you have increased reliability over SBC/controller/uplink failure.

Hardware RAID doesn't seem to be going away quickly. Since they're almost all made by the same company, and they can usually be flashed to be dumb HBAs, it's not too bad, but it was pretty painful when using managed hosting and the menu options with lots of disks all have the raid controllers that are a pain to setup; and I'm not going to reflash their hardware (although I did end up doing some SSD firmware updates myself because firmware bugs were causing issues and their firmware upgrade scripts weren't working well and were tremendously slow)
I really like the writing style used here. Nobody writes like that anymore, although it was considered normal for centuries. What happened to make it go away, and when?
From the practical introduction, it says, "Wildland is a collection of protocols, conventions, software, and (soon) a marketplace for leasing storage and in the future compute infrastructure. All these pieces work together with one goal in mind: to decouple the user's data from the underlying infrastructure."

This would seem to make a user not dependent on any one platform to hold their data. So it improves data availability, platform lock-in risk and some censorship-resistance.
I think the better question is why exactly are we pouring so many resources into higher education?

Where is the rest of the money going to?

How Much Damage Have My Colleagues and I Done?
> How does inflation suck money from the poor? That is, the ones who are most likely to have loans...

why the hell is this still a belief? The indebted poor have revolving credit at best (think 10%-ish APR) or short-term credit (payday loans: 15%+ APR). Inflation does not help those situations.

The wealthy are benefitting from low-interest rate loans (margin accounts, leveraged trading, options) that are enabled by the existence of inflation, and by the mechanism, which is providing a discount window to banks (so they ride on nominal gains and are insulated from real devaluation).

Consider someone who is spending 95% of their income on day to day expenses, and we have a 1% increase in prices. Now you are spending 96% of your income on day to day expenses, which is a 20% decrease in margin of safety. It's even worse if you start at 99%.

If you are spending 20% of your income on day to day expenses and have a 1% increase in prices, your margin of safety loss is < 2%.

"But wages catch up" you say. No they don't. Otherwise inflation as a policy doesn't work.

https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/the-case-for-hi...

"in the long run, it’s really, really hard to cut nominal wages. Yet when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts."

Inflation is a stealth wage cut, a matter of policy for cheating the labor class. Don't get me wrong, it's well intentioned - it's to prop up the low unemployment metric, but Goodheart's law applies.

Finally, inflation forces the middle class to invest instead of save, to stay afloat and build up a retirement nest egg. Investments typically must go through approved channels, e.g. "the stock market" which disproportionately favors the already wealthy, e.g. CEOs, investment managers, hedge funds.

Thus it is a siphon that steals wealth from the poor and middle class and gives it to the wealthy.
In my experience, a "real" address is needed somewhere. PO Boxes are fine for many things, but for process service, etc. the part of your state government that is responsible for business entities will want a real address.

Imagine some developer in perfect good faith who finds some interesting graphics code online with no references to EA and a fake Open Source license attached to it, and that code happens to be part of EA's code, then imagine this developer incorporating them into an Open Source game, maybe just 150 lines of code out of several tens of thousands. EA's lawyers would hardly ignore him, and the poor guy would see his own career and possibly his entire life ruined.
Not to mention the possibility of becoming a case against Open Source.
I think the problem is that non-STEM classes have been dumbed down to the point where they just aren't on the same level. You see lots of failed science majors in English class, but no failed English majors in differential equations class. But why not? Writing is hard, and if you had to be as good of a writer to be an English major as you do at math to be a math major, lots of people would fail out of that too. But they don't because those classes are easy. I've never actually heard anybody argue that the subject matter isn't worthy.

We're not comparing equal "short term" and "long term" events though. The short term effects are much more severe in nature. And because they are severe, these "short term" economic effects end up causing long term financial impacts for the people they impact, even after the economy has recovered.

Most non-high income people do not have huge rainy-day funds. If they lose their job, even for a short period of time, they will find themselves relying on debt that is a lot more expensive than 2% inflation.

Stability has a high value, it is just hard to measure in dollars.

They take on the vast majority of the inventory risk, which is the fundamental detail everyone seems to miss. They own what they sell.

The complications come from trying to manage that risk - manufacturers who have better products or marketing can afford to pay for prime shelf space which also means it'll move faster.

Who can be trusted to make decisions by themself.

And the right to repair aims not, that everyone should fix their devices by themself, but that everyone who is capable, has the possibility to do so. Like repair shops. Or skilled individuals. And those who think they are more competent, than they actually are ... find always ways of shooting themself in the foot. I would not want to punish everyone else because of it.
It hasn't really been studied or formalized in any way (at least that I know of). But I'm confident that it will be found to be the case if/when it is studied.
How do we accomplish that, short of randomizing which school students are assigned to and then dealing with the transportation headache to make it happen? Schools continue to be segregated because of underlying socioeconomic realities; changing that is how we desegregate the schools, I don't know how we could feasibly reverse that causality.
I’m confused. What’s the difference between a cache line and a row in RAM? They’re both multiples of bytes. You have data sharing per chunk in either case.

The distinction seems to be how big the chunk is not uniformity of access time (is a symmetrical read disk not a block device?)
It’s more expensive, but a lawyer can serve that role.
Sometimes. Other times they may make things worse by lying to the filesystem (and thereby also the application) about writes being completed, which may confound higher-level consistency models.

Sorry I'm a bit confused by your argument.

> When things are up people have to work.

That's not true. Monitoring software and on-call rotations are well established things, and wouldn't even go away in your world. Believe it or not, people who run websites already sleep at night.

> Do you believe people should be working all of the time?

I'm not sure where you got that. Besides, you're already having people in the office in the middle of the night every Sunday already. Or are you saying that the downtime is when your team gets to sleep?

> If you had to choose between 95% availability or 100% availability other than the before mentioned downtime which would you choose?

Again, not sure what you're getting at. There's only a few reasons why you'd need to schedule a downtime. Database migrations are a good one. All of the reasons should only happen a few times a year, likely. Way better than 52 times a year.
The issue is you order something, your significant other unpacks the thing and disposes the paper which includes the invoice to be paid. Only weeks later you get notified that you did not pay.
I think a solution would be to limit the number of matches one could have at a time. This forces the user to sacrifice something (the opportunity cost of matching with someone else) to remain in contact with their match.

You are removing one problem with another. In FIAT govt control flow of money. In bitcoin, you give that control to some private companies who manufacture mining rigs and energy producing companies. Except, the cost of the alternative is you see increase in price of silicon tech and energy costs for regular use. I bet the supply chain issues you are seeing now a days with silicon products and high cost of crude can be attributed to increase in price of bitcoin.

Just to add to the explanation, SSDs are able to do this because they have a layer of indirection akin to virtual memory. This means that what your OS thinks is byte 800000 of the SSD may change it's actual physical location on the SSD over time even in the absence of writes or reads to said location.

This is a very important property of SSDs and is a large reason why log structured storage is so popular in recent times. The SSD is very fast at appends, but changing data is much slower.
