What people consider ‘bad’ inflation is too much money/demand chasing constrained supply that can’t keep up.

If it is a required/needed good, that causes people to raise the amount they are willing to spend to get what they need. Inflationary spirals happen when this ‘infects’ enough markets. Everyone is spending all their money chasing an ever harder to get/more expensive set of essentials, and are willing to spend more and more as time goes on as they get more desperate.

Lumber is probably negotiable/non-essential enough it’s not likely to kick off an inflationary spiral. Food, rent, transportation, though tend to be key.
Cuba is also known to train African doctors and return them back to Africa. They also helped South Africa during the apartheid regime
> I dont' have brainpower to completely relearn from scratch every few years anymore.

I understand what you mean when it comes to new frameworks. I learned to code in the 80s, and nothing has really change since then.

There is this misunderstanding that things change fast, they do not change at all. Only the level of abstraction changes.

When I was a kid I was capturing interruptions to implement mouse movement, it requires fast code that runs for a moment to react to the event and returns to not block the system. Same that with AWS Lambadas. I personally do not see any difference.

Immutable messages passed between actors to implement concurrent behavior of enemies was common when multi-thread PCs first appeared. The theory is form 1973. Now I use that same knowledge to build micro-services.

The big challenge is that what I did at CPU level in the 80s now I do at the service level in clusters of machines in the cloud. From CPUs, to virtualization, to cloud, all the same thing: input in, output out.

But, I am also tired of learning new syntax for the same things. The most difficult part of learning AWS is to remember the specifications of the product, if they offer this type of connection in S3 but not in EC2. The difficulty is to remember arbitrary decisions based on temporal situations.

> machine learning with emphasis on theory

That is the only innovation (applied, the theory existed by very long) that I have no real equivalent from the 80s. And, I am following your same advise and going for it.

I stopped reading when they started attacking bind. Sheer ignorance. Also cathedral is good for him and his elite team but not in general?

Unix has always been worse is better. You may disagree but it is the secret sauce. YAGNI for that potentially ideal system. Sadly. I like mathematically solid systems but the people with good enough systems explore the solution space much quicker.
I'm just learning sailing but I believe traditional sails act like wings/airfoils as well, at least for part of the thrust.
I disagree. Some of the wealthiest and most successful ppl such as Zuckerberg and Larry Page never sold anything . They started by creating a service that was superior to competitors and that everyone wanted. Start with that instead. Sales come later. Selling is not also really hard but margins are thin. Facebook, Apple, and Google by creating the platform, where able to command the price they wanted.
Quantifying any of those values would be completely pointless.

If you really want to know, "officially" a pinch of salt is ~0.35g and a dash is ~0.7g. Accurately measuring quantities that small is a trained skill using specialized equipment. Anything you can buy on Amazon for under $1,000 would get you +-100mg when used correctly at best - used in a kitchen with a 50g measuring spoon for 0.5g of salt you'd be lucky to get +- 1000 mg.
Let's say you have definitions like that:

f: Nat -> Nat
g: Nat -> Nat
h: Nat -> Nat
h x = g (x * 2)
g x = f (x * 3)
f x = x < 0 ? 1 : h (x / 4)

And now you change f to be

f x = x < 1 ? 1 : h (x / 4)

How do you do that? There's a cycle in the callgraph. In fact - how do you calculate a hash of a function that calls itself if you need its hash to calculate its hash :)

EDIT: nevermind, recursion is a special case handled differently.
This reminds me. Ok, he's listening now, because post-40, your opportunitities as a "code primate" devolve significantly. I ain't coming back.

Roko's Basilisk, or some variant thereof, explains a few things.

Oh interesting. Would you have a link on this?
Yes, and I'm saying: when you have as much UB as C does it makes no sense at all to prove the compiler correct because even with a proven-correct compiler you can still have catastrophic failures in the end product. You have to define at least some of the UB in an implementation-dependent way for the proof-of-correctness to have any actual value in the real world.

I believe the quality and breadth of Cuba's medical system rises to the level of conventional wisdom[1][2].

A shame the A380 is given a good kicking generally over stuff like this ... it's easily my favourite plane in terms of flight experience ... I actually started enjoying flying again and when booking holidays or work flights, filtering flights specifically to make sure I got on the A380.

That's exactly what I've done. I'm 32 and have years of exp in data engineering and data analysis. I wanted to pivot more to more eng. I did a lot of interviews with a lot of product eng offers, but ultimately went for infra, now working on a cpp and java stack.

Feels like there's more staying power here. On the product side I would have been sprinting to director level people management as fast as I can. On infra I feel like I can stay an IC indefinately

Even though I have an ML background, I don't feel like competing with every young hotshot out of MIT and stanford for ml eng roles, so going to opt out for now and focus on systems

The main problem is that you need a lot more data to make confident statements about severe cases than just about symptomatic cases. That 100% number of the Pfizer trial had a huge uncertainty interval. So even though severe cases are what you care most about, you usually don’t want to wait for a study that gives you good data on those and measure (and compare) symptomatic cases instead. Zeynep Tufekci discussed this issue of study endpoints in one of her recent articles: https://www.theinsight.org/p/vaccine-efficacy-statistical-po...

The interesting thing to me is that Facebook is primarily used by older people (over 40) who are not represented in the coding and ui decisions. Their inability to get a handle on political speech is evidence to me of this. Their employees lack real world experience and wisdom.
Having domestic vaccine development and production capabilities probably didn't seem that important to a lot of countries until recently.

I bet a lot of countries are going to try and developer their own capabilities as a result of this crisis.
Interesting about the pandemic. So that suggests the access problem was less bad than I had thought, since presumably lots of people were able to buy better Internet service, once it was important to them.

30Mbps seems fine to me. I only have slightly more than that here, and I have never felt the need to buy more even though I could afford it. Of course that's for one person, the median US household size is considerably more.
The author points out that you can caramelize your onions properly over the course of 40 minutes while preparing other components, washing dishes, etc.

But that doesn't make for a nice tight recipe the way "Stir onions over medium heat until caramelized, about 10 minutes" does. Some people are going to read "Meanwhile, caramelize onions over medium-low, about 40 minutes" and think "Oh boy, what a complex and loooong recipe, forget it!" Inexperienced cooks may not be comfortable leaving the onions unattended, and if you get caught up in the football game you could end up burning them and wasting half an hour's work.

So if you lie and say ten minutes, people are going to do one of two things:

* Cook the onions for ten minutes and use them however they turn out. The recipe might be kind of disappointing, but I bet if you did the rest right, it'll taste pretty decent in most cases. Lots of people are bad cooks, too, so properly caramelized onions may be the least of their worries anyway.

* Keep cooking until the onions are done properly. I end up doing this sort of thing all the time anyway, when a recipe says things like "cook chicken breasts to 165 degrees, about 3 minutes on a side" and other nonsense (you'd think boxed macaroni and cheese would at least get it right but even at sea level it comes out inedibly hard if you boil for the lower end of the recommended time). The recipe comes out right and if you know to do this, you're probably already used to the fact that recipes lie so you're not much bothered.

In short: the incentives probably weigh more toward making the recipe look quick and easy. When your readers are skimming over half a dozen recipes online, you don't want to be the long and complicated-looking one.

Even if I were to be completely skeptical and/or in denial about Aliens existence, on the contrary, no one can say there isn't any evidence. Apart from being mathematically completely unlikely we're alone in the Universe, if you go and read dozens of reports and accounts about alien encounters, most of them match with one another.
The different purchasing power of US$ and CAD$ killed the "everything in the store is a dollar" model in Canada at least a decade ago. But Dollarama, which is so successful that it has pretty much squeezed out the other dollar store chains, has really just established themeselves as the "everything store" below the Walmart tier without any particular price - just low in general. Metal foil cookware, kids' party supplies and certain kinds of candy/sweets (I love their weird brand chocolate bars, particularly the "Island Bar" (Bounty clone) and Duoletta (Kinder Bueno clone). Also if you're out cycling they're a good place to buy things like Gatorade or chocolate bars for a reasonable price in quantity 1.

And sometimes a totally ubiquitous store with a predicatable inventory of crappy-but-adequate stuff can be a real problem solver. For example, hit the road with the small children for the long drive to Grandma's, and half an hour out we find that we have the fruit, but not the knife to cut it with. No problem, next Dollarama is 25 minutes away, we'll just grab a knife there. $2! With sheath. Sure it doesn't stay sharp as long, but it totally did the job.

It well-known that Cuba has an impressive healthcare system and does not particularly need to be cited unless specific claims are made. Cuba is famous, for instance, for exporting doctors to other nations.

In any case, here is a short paper showing Cuba's healthcare outcomes are comparable to Canada and US: https://globalhealth.washington.edu/sites/default/files/50%2...

No. An API specifies more than the name of the function. It will specify the arguments, their types, the type of the return value, and at least informally, what the function does. You can change the underlying implementation without changing the API. That's the whole point of an API. The problem with current API technology is that the informality of the spec of what the function does. That allows some aspects of the behavior of the function to change without triggering any warnings.

By having the linker work on hashes of implementations you eliminate that problem but create a new problem. You can no longer change the behavior of the function because you can't change the function. That means you can't suddenly change behavior that some caller is counting on, but it also means you can't fix bugs without changes in the caller.
They are not world leading. Number of doctors is not a metric of how good your medicine is.

I think at this point all the 'efficacy' numbers given by drug companies for the various vaccines on the market are: relative risk reduction of hospitalization or death.

Not uninteresting per se, but would be even more interesting if paired with the absolute risk number [1].

This is a great example. It's incredible than in all latin america no other country has developed a vaccine, having huge countries like Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.
So here is the fix for nvidia... I just did this and it works:

1. Go to Settings (the cog at the top right)

2. Click Apps

3. Click See all apps

4. Scroll to the bottom of the list - click Show system apps

5. Scroll down and click Google Play Services

6. Click Force Stop

7. Click Disable

8. Click Clear Cache

9. reboot

10. go back and uninstall google play updates

11. make sure apps are not set to auto update

The most uncomfortable question about Windows using Amazon Android store is related to developer app signing? How about: How does a company that absolutely dominated PC app market somehow need to embrace Android app compatibility? How were they not able to use dominance to capture the adjacent app market in mobile? This question is more uncomfortable because it attacks a character trait of Microsoft: arrogance.
Turkish or Bulgarian feta are neither second-rate nor imitations. "Feta" is just the Greek name for a range of cheeses produced across much of the Eastern Mediterranean. But Greek cheese-producers lobbied the Greek government, and then Greece lobbied the EU, so in Europe, only cheese produced in a few regions of Greece may be called "feta." That's not because those regions produce the best feta cheese, or even because they produce a unique variety of feta that could be reliably distinguished from feta produced elsewhere. It's because they managed to convince their government to grant them a monopoly on the name. That's it.

I sure hope not. Since I turned 40 I've learned: angular, node, NoSql, DevOps/CICD, responsive web and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

Since I turned 50, I've learned: React, python, AWS, and C#.

The only difference I've noticed is I have to write stuff down or I forget it way more than I used to. Maybe I can't juggle pages and pages of spaghetti code in my brain anymore. But that just pushes me to modularize and break the problem into pieces - which are good things!
Per my comment above, every single point addresses the question of what problem distributed consensus solves as none of these points are possible without distributed consensus.

It's been my experience that almost everything is like this. You decide one day to learn how to do x, and look up some information from what seem like trustworthy sources on how to do x well. What you'll need, the technique involved, the time, the danger points to watch for. You do everything according to what you've been told. And somewhere between 15% and 20% of the time it goes to shit because the source you trusted was either a moron or a liar. I just factor it into my expected time-table now that part of learning any new thing will be burning through untrustworthy sources until I find one that isn't full of shit.

This can be somewhat ameliorated by cross-referencing several sources, and the internet makes this easier, especially Youtube. But it's still infuriating, especially when time and money are limited.
Cuba has a life expectancy of 78.8, just under the United States' 79.1. Their infant mortality rate 5.1 deaths per 1000 births, slightly better than 6.5 in the US. Cuba also has the highest rate of physicians per citizen in all of latin america, and has a huge medical diplomacy progam, sending doctors all over the world.

It's a pretty controversial topic, though- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Cuba#Contrasting...
Julia REPLs and editor plugins have adopted a nice feature where you can type the LaTeX name of the symbol you want to get it.

e.g. `\subseteq` followed by tab yields `⊆` or `\trademark` for `™`.

You can also do emoji with `\:eyes:` for ``

I think this is very practical and if you read code in Julia you can see that it's led to quite a lot of unicode and emoji in source code.

Lmao are you serious? Source is 15 years of buying drugs. The illegal drug dealers only took cash, and now that buying drugs is legal, the legal dealers only take cash too. They have an ATM in their shop, but that's because they only take cash.

I guess you never buy drugs IRL, if you really want a source for "drug dealers only take cash". What's next, wanting a source for "water is wet"?

> Also, did you just forget we were (and we are) in a pandemic that started a year ago, forcing almost every person in lockdown?

Guess who stayed open the entire time? The drug dealers. They were excluded from lockdowns due to ostensibly being essential businesses who sold "medicine". And guess what, the entire time they have only accepted cash.

Then I googled for a list of Amazon tribes, took the first name I found ("Aweti"), and looked them up in Wikipedia. Immediately, "Culture" section:

> A men's hut is also located in the center of the village, and is used for holding ritual flutes which are not allowed to be seen by women.

What are the odds?

Look: You know how I know this? Because all these tribes are composed of people no different from you and me. This is just how people are.
