POP servers and the Telcos pushing that out even further (into neighborhood servers) with partnerships with major content sites. Once they finally switch all of the TV content to packets we'll see a lot more bandwidth overall because the Telcos can take advantage of this locality. In essence it is a distributed system with the majority of the P2P benefits. The Telco can be a major hub in the "P2P network" largely because it saves them money in the long-run

I started as an EE (actually, as an electronic technician). I never came up through the "traditional" CS tree.

As a result, I regularly see the insides of many snotty noses. It was the main reason that I stopped looking for work in the field; but I was shipping stuff from my very first project[0]. My entire career has consisted of architecting and implementing shipping solutions.

Meh. Whatever creams your Twinkie. I'm not losing much sleep over it, but it is annoying.

It’d help a little but it’d still be a long way from an Econ 101 market. Preventative care is hugely effective at reducing costs but high-deductible plans ensure that many people will not get it.

Many people simply aren’t capable of shopping around, either: emergency care, cognitive impairments, limited geographic options, and the conflicts of interest inherent to for-profit medicine all make it hard for people to know what they need and whether it’s worth the money. As with preventative care, making it harder to get treatment is certain to lead to many people not getting problems treated prior to them becoming major.

Price transparency regulations could also be used to implement public price controls or public fines on monopolies engaging in price discrimination.

For instance if a provider billed a patient over 100% of their stated price or over 120% the minimum price for the same item published by comparable providers, there might be some public fine or tax on the biller and rebate to the patient in proportion to the entire amount by which the patient was over-billed regardless of their insurance status.

This would possibly amount to something similar to universal public price negotiation.

But yes the idea of using pricing transparency to suppress over-billing by monopolies could possibly be interpreted as suggesting a rejection of the alternative idea of centrally fixing all consumer facing prices using a public office and then determining all government facing prices from external suppliers providing necessary inputs for the public healthcare system through minimum bid.

They do edit the paper. Formatting is expected, final print-ready content is not. I know this from direct experience.

Copy editing is about a lot more than fluff. Accurately & skillfully communicating research and results does not completely overlap the Venn diagram skill set of "excellent researcher". Research skills do not equate to communication skills.

Typesetting is a little more complex than character format, but you're right, especially in these days with better tools, it's not nearly as labor intensive as it used to be, though still absolutely necessary if the journal is physically printed. Much much simpler if it's online only.

Many journals are still printed and archived especially by libraries, so those logistics are still a factor, and there is a fixed amount of labor required if it's 100 copies are 10,000. After the 100, the required work is incremental.

Digital absolutely has logistics involved as well: building and maintaining a platform isn't free, BUT:

I would wholeheartedly agree that the financial models here are broken and outrageous. Even considering the publishing work I mentioned, whether we disagree on the scope or not, better tools have made that work significantly easier. Scalable digital platforms are also much more of a known quantity and cheaper: inexpensive turn key solutions exist that could be scaled with fairly mundane tech skills. In every way I can think of, the costs associated with turning a raw article fresh from the authors into a polished publication should be much much cheaper.
It's pretty awesome. My biggest issues I have with it are the pair of large non-standard thumb-keys and the 1u outer columns - the 1.5u ones on it's predecessor the ErgoDox were more ergonomic.
> but unlike Haskell where you need to know monads to be productive

I disagree. You don't need to author monads to be productive in Haskell (and in a production codebase rarely would, the monads you use change rarely). Having written a good of deal of Lisp going out to production in the form of Clojure and a good deal of Haskell I really think monads and macros are a rather fitting analogy here. It's really the same deal. You need to know how use monads in Haskell just as you need to know how to use macros in a Lisp. Are you going to be writing a lot of your own new ones in a pre-existing production codebase? Unlikely. Are you going to be creating a couple of them here and there in a lot of the new libraries you write? Probably. Are they both things that sound really scary to outsiders but are really quite tame if you have a team surrounding you helping you out? Yeah.

> It’s really not as “dangerous” as everyone seems to make it out to be.

Again I don't think it's dangerous. I just think it's a weird direction to take. There are no good languages in isolation. There are only languages that are the best fits for a given team.

EDIT:

> Languages that have these “abstraction ceilings”, as you put it, have their own danger as well—just a different danger. Namely, you’re choosing boringness of the language as a feature, in many cases requiring some multiple of additional programmers, which means some multiple of additional time spent hiring and money spent paying salaries. For some companies, money isn’t a problem, so choosing boring tech with a gazillion programmers and double-digit churn rate is just fine.

Indeed, I'm not particular champion of Go or Java (the traditional boring languages people bring up). Their very boring-ness has its own drawbacks as you say, ones that I feel acutely whenever I've worked on teams using them. But these are a series of true trade-offs, one where different situations will call with different needs. I have met plenty of people who are extremely competent Common Lisp, Haskell, Clojure, etc. programmers who have proactively chosen to go with a "boring" language for a new team (for a variety of reasons, not necessarily because the "interesting" language has sharp edges).

The team (and by extension the company) precedes and determines the language, not the other way around.
Sevierville, TN: the town that helped millions of children learn to read
The single best IT security approach I have seen was (paraphrased):

- IT Security is not allowed to say "No" to Business.

It was like the "Yes and.." drama game.

IT Security had to accept that business had a need to do a thing. That people didn't just think up dumb shit to do, despite appearances.

And it was Security's job to help to enable that thing rather than simply saying "No". Of course, they might end up saying no to a particular process, but then they had to work with the Business for a better process that both sides were happy with. A rebalancing of the tradeoffs regarding speed and security, which can often sacrifice very little speed in the IT world.

It meant that any project or even simple day to day stuff could be run past IT Security with no fear. It helped of course that IT Security employed sociable helpful people too.

Well, counting now, the "summary" part of the comment is 329 words long (and there are another 312 words in the comment), while the posted article here is 900 words long (the original one was nearly 18000 words). But consider that the relevant part of the podcast transcript is 2000+ words long and the comment above is a summary of both, and more importantly the summary is written from a neutral point of view, in chronological order with some added context, and I think it has some value…

But yeah, after typing the comment (mostly for my own understanding) and realising how short the posted article was, I did consider whether to post the comment or not, but having accidentally ended with that perfect pun, it was hard to abandon it. :-)
> It’s hard to imagine you are really claiming that nobody who says ‘defund the police’ means to abolish the police.

You're playing semantic games with "means" here, you're using it as a verb, "intends to" and not "is a synonym for", as we have been previously in the conversation. Breaking it down, people who intend to abolish the police almost by definition also support defunding it. Because that's a step towards abolishment.

So you're correct, I'm not claiming that "nobody who says ‘defund the police’ intends to abolish the police"

I am saying that "nobody who says ‘defund the police’ is using it as a synonym for abolish the police" to trick people.

> Obviously they are, but when some people say they are putting toothpaste on their toothbrush, they are doing so because they plan on brushing their teeth.

This would be more compelling if there were people who felt that just putting toothpaste on the brush was the goal. But it isn't, because we both agree that there are some people who's only goal is to (partially) defund the police.

I'm going to disengage now because I can't see how this was done in good faith.

Total bandwidth reduces because the files get cached at the edge. E.g. if I'm watching a Netflix movie from the UK that is originally hosted in the US, the stream has to move to the UK, where it can then be cached, then it is also sent to me. For the first stream there is no bandwidth savings. Any additional person that watches the same only needs to get the file from the cached location, thus saving bandwidth between Netflix's hosting location, and UK.

In contrast with p2p, bandwidth may or may not be saved for the ISP. If my peers are close to me, sure, but if all my peers are US based, then there is no bandwidth savings. Furthermore, when I stop stream the video, and I don't have parts any more, and another in my area is still watching, they now have to connect to US peers and/or origin server.

This is obviously oversimplified. In reality, the best solution likely includes a CDN combined with P2P, which would maximise bandwidth savings for hosters and maximise performance.

A core idea from the article that caught my attention:

".. bio-philosopher and inventor of the polio vaccine, Salk went down in history not for his biomedical innovation, but for his philosophical outlook.

“Who owns the patent on this vaccine?’

‘Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?”

Salk was raised to believe that each person was responsible for making a difference in the world. However as he aged, he came to believe that we aren’t just responsible for making any kind of positive difference in the world, but one that will outlast our life times. In this 1985 interview with Richard Heffner on The Open Mind, Jonas Salk offered the following framework for how we must live our lives:

The most important question we can ask ourselves is:

"Read the lines on the contract. No one is cheated."

Thats a really bad argument, any lawyer can write a ccontract that will let you cheat or scam laymen. In UK we have been selling apartments with 'ground rent' fees that grow exponentially, pyramid schemes have contracts, people pressed into debt bondage have contracts.

1. Requires new routing protocol/network protocol. (multipath routing)
2. Relies on storage and network capacity with no reliability guaranties.
3. Limited ability to detect bad actors - because of network coding you don't know a) if you have a bad block until you decode it, b) who gave you the bad data until unless you get more redundant copies than you would need to decode the data.

Just point 1 alone would require the entire internet backbone to be upgraded. We're still trying to get that done for IPv6, so don't expect to be able to use this in the near future.

The other points would make it vulnerable to DoS attacks and even without bad actors it needs large scale and a slowly changing network base to work reliably.

But it got published.... So I guess that's worth something?
Apple laptops and phones objectively last longer than the competition.

Most of that is software support. Some of it is that they make few models, and sell at a premium, so there is a robust secondary market in used devices. They continue to make and sell batteries for old models, and there are plenty of counterfeits available if you want to risk it.

Apple recently (late last year) replaced the battery on my Mom's iPhone 6, which will turn seven this year. I saw an estimate that half of all iPhones 4 are still in use, mostly in developing nations. That was two years ago, but, still.

As for laptops, same basic principle applies, except I have to give a shoutout to the Thinkpad T series for sheer longevity. You have to want a Thinkpad T, but if you do, they're excellent and durable computers.

But with that one (sterling) exception, Macbooks last about twice as long as anyone else's computers. You can easily confirm this yourself by checking eBay. The butterfly keyboard era may have put an end to that, though, which is a damn shame, but we can hope the return of the scissor keyboard will bring it back.

But who do you hold accountable for it? Using the democratic process, you punish Bush by voting him out? Well, he's long gone. Most of those fuckers are enjoying their retirement, they will never be held accountable for any of this, yet here we are paying for their insane decisions.
