Agreed. I’m surprised it doesn’t get painted that way in the media more.

At least in Vietnam we left the government and military in decent enough shape to hold the country together for 3 years after we left.
> but anyone involved in illicit trade with Pakistan is, as a side effect, funding terrorist groups like Taliban.

I'm not particularly educated or opinionated on the topic. With that said, why is it not possible one is simply funding criminals with monetary intent in an operation like this - does the Taliban have a strangehold on criminality throughout Pakistan?
I think datacenter tech is a good example of one that should actually be in house, and not even for the sake of fairness. I imagine after a while these people must understand a lot about the company's infrastructure, albeit on a low level. it seems dumb for the company not to provide a path for advancement to these people. then again, I'm an application dev, so I don't know much about how all that works.

as for the food service example, I still don't see why it's particularly advantageous to be an official employee of the company. if the tech company does really well, you get to go along for the ride to an extent, but at the end of the day, you're still working in what the bean counters would consider a cost center. if you work for a food service contractor, you could potentially get into an important role in the profit center of that company. maybe one day you manage cafeterias for several large companies, not just one.

the root problem in this example is that food service just isn't very profitable. no matter how you slice it up, there's not a lot of extra money sloshing around to pay anyone.
If we're talking about US politics, there's also the tendency of the right to cluster to a common narrative, whereas the left tends to be more tolerant of diverse narratives.

It would seem unsurprising that the end result of this, upon pulling the "center" of each party towards its own extreme, is essentially what we've seen -- ~50% of conservatives now believe in vaccine/pandemic conspiracy theories, vs liberals support some extremists at the local level, but also continue to support centrists like Biden at the national level.
So if you have a private valuation that exceeds $25M you’re forced to somehow pay, even when all your wealth is locked up in illiquid company share?
Why overturn it, when you could charge a 30% federal tax on (political) advertisements, and maybe a 10% state tax.
Look, I am not sure if you are trying to be VC backed or not. But I think you can have a decent sized business with 10 people or so. But the market is really really small and it is red ocean. There is lot of people doing the same thing, like porter.dev, quovery, etc.

When we were doing this, what we saw was the moment a company becomes serious they will decide to do all of this themselves. Companies want to own the IaC which you are taking away.

> Why?

Because it's much more likely that they're one of the <nearly everyone> who can't estimate calories in/out well than that they're an outlier with a significant metabolic drop in some small number of years, especially given that small misestimations are large enough to yield the observed behavior. Maybe there's something else going on, but "without more details" it wouldn't be the first place I'd look.

> older people needing different diet

Absolutely! I hope nobody took away opposing statements to that from what I said. The double whammy of needing fewer calories and being less equipped to absorb vitamins and whatnot necessitates a significant change in diet with age. I was only commenting on this one person's experience aging just a few years in the middle of their life.

> walking

> That is not how this works tho.

Especially for walking, that's exactly how it works. Walking builds negligible muscle mass, and everything else you've mentioned (aside from perhaps impacts on hunger), adds up to well under a 5% error in calorie estimates -- well under the noise floor from applying a general purpose calorie estimate to any one specific person.

Yet another example of how what looks later as a slam dunk / sure winner acquisition is anything but for those involved during the process.

Also, not sure if it's covered elsewhere in the book, but it would've been interesting to get to understand Google's motivation for doing this deal. My understanding is that Google understood mobile was important and given that, at the time, network operators had a lot of control over mobile software, the fear was that they could control access to the search engine and, hence, exclude or take control over Google.

Running out of ventilators would have minimal impact on the mortality rate. Mechanical ventilation is currently only used as a last resort for <5% of hospitalized patients, and even with ventilators many of those patients don't survive.

Beds can be added on a temporary basis. Availability of trained healthcare providers is the more relevant limit.
IMO this is one of the advantages of the sum-type approach: the added friction of dealing with those explicit types and values encourages you to write as much code as possible that simply can't error in the first place
Indirectly, yeah. Correctly calculating and taxing externalities might have prevented 'bad' billionaires from being made, but doesn't give us a plan on where to go from here.

Lots of gray area, though. Lots of arguments were made against Gates when Microsoft's value increased with anti-competitive practices, but it's hard to argue with what it's been spent on today.
CDC is a political vehicle. It’s a tragedy what’s happened over the last year as they flip flop.

VAERS and it’s predecessors did not track this kind of thing even though they were explicitly made with the intention to. Their own workforce was puzzled as to why they weren’t deployed early on to track vaccine side effects.

Look, stick to the basics. If you’re going to appeal to authority find one with some backbone and preferably one with less profit motive.

CDC didn’t make the vaccine. J&J did. Neither knows what it will do over the next N years, and even if they did you’d be the last to know. You’ve got all the evidence you need in how J&J handled the powder case.

So no, I’m not taking the vaccine or the aspirin.

Everyone should question the competency and “trust us we know” attitudes of these companies. They’re the kind of people you only want to deal with when you absolutely have no choice.
I think most people agree that natural immunity is as good as a vaccine. But I do see some possible reasons to prefer the vaccine to proof of natural immunity.

It's possible legislators have less confidence in the tests of natural immunity than they have in the vaccine passport, for whatever reason.

And maybe I'm being too cynical, but I think I know some people who might _try_ to get covid (instead of the vaccine) if it meant they could travel.
This is the easiest one to read, thanks for that. If the intention of posting it was an invitation for review, here's a quick one.

Making the first entry a special case is probably a good idea, but it must also take into account when the first sub_arr is also the only:

>>> monotonic([1, 2])
[]

There's also the fact that equality is considered a valid increase both not a valid decrease. One might expect that either it is valid as both or none. This is not necessarily wrong but may give surprising results:

>>> monotonic([2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2])
[[1, 2], [1, 1], [1, 1], [1, 2]]

Otherwise a readable and straightforward implementation of a somewhat underspecified problem.

Logic Meme Making the Rounds
I'm only a two chapters in at the moment, but am enjoying the book Flat Earth News by Nick Davies. While I believe he has rose-tinted glasses for pre-1980s journalism, and his information and analysis is UK-centric, one of his conclusions is apt.

The majority of journalists end up spending almost no time generating their own stories, or even checking them. Most of what you read in broadsheet newspapers is just parroting wire services, PR firms, the government, etc. Davies commissioned studies showing only 12% of stories in major broadsheets in 2 random weeks were generated by the journalist, and only 12% of the key facts were checked. He calls this churnalism, and it goes a ways to showing how it is that these institutions set the bounds for "acceptable" discourse, without any conspiracy -- just don't hire enough journalists and make them too busy to do the real work. Eventually the new cohort will think they're doing real work anyway.

I should say, I don't know the basis for Davies' critique of wire agencies, or why it is important to generate one's own stories. I haven't read the Suppliers chapter yet.

The article is a few years old, but by most measures, the Democratic party has been moving from the center-right toward the center-left, making it a relatively centrist party on the global stage, while the Republican party has remained firmly right-wing.

Your comment appears to be true, but what we're seeing may simply be America rebalancing herself for the first time since the lead-up to the Cold War.
Just ask a random journalist who thinks he's some Democracy Defender when was the last time any of his research uncovered some corruption scandal in any branch of the government or powerful financial or banking institution. Given that most news agencies depend on either publicity, or their billionaire owners to survive, it's not like they're intrinsically trustworthy.

Most of them are as brainless as the average news reader, quite more of a zealot for the system they're supposed to scrutinise than an impartial informer of daily events.

Why the nomenclature jump from delta to lambda?

not kidding: were there uninteresting variants in alphabetical order between them? (i.e, what of epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, and kappa?)
What I mean by saying "it's a binding" is that it is a property of the variable (or return channel of a function) rather than a real sum type. Consequently it does not participate in any type conversions and you cannot pass something "of type int!" because the type does not exist.

Here is an example:

int! x = ...
int*! y = &x;
int**! z = &y;

// If it had been a type then
// int!* y = &x;
// int!** z = &y;

// int*! y = &x;
// means
// int*! y = "if x is err" ? "error of x"
// : "the address holding the int of x"

This also means that `int!` cannot ever be a parameter, nor a type of a member inside of a struct or union.

The underlying implementation is basically that for a variable `int! x` what is actually stored is:

// int! x;
int x$real;
ErrCode x$err;

// int*! y;
int* y$real;
ErrCode y$err;

// y = &x;
if (x$err) {
y$err = x$err;
} else {
y$real = &x$real;
}

int z;
// y = &z;
y$err = 0;
y$real = &x;

The semantics resulting from this is different from if `int!` had been something like

struct IntErr {
bool is_err_tag;
union {
int value;
ErrCode error;
};
};

Which is what a Result based solution would work like. In such a solution:

int! x ... ;
int!* y = &x; // Ok
int z = ...
y = &z; // <- Type error!
That's good feedback and there is a lot of snake-oil in the industry in general, which is why we base our app around evidence-backed practices such as CBT ( as mentioned in the post, there's much evidence that CBT-based apps are beneficial e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5727354/ ). I think you're getting at an open question for regulators, which is the ongoing regulation of "wellness" apps, a category which this app currently falls into. The EU actually published a green paper about the Digital health space several years ago, in which they touch on the "wellness apps" space, with an possible eye to potential stricter regulation in future, although they are yet to enact anything in this space.
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/green-paper...

The ultimate long term aim for the company is to actually work towards regulation as a medical device as this also unlocks more ways in which the app can be distributed (e.g. through healthcare systems).

But that janitor at Google would be much more able to take classes on the side, maybe seeing how these tech companies work. And then use his reliability and degree to leverage that into a job. Or if he doesn't work his way up, the extra stability of solid benefits and job instead of moving around contracts would possibly help them support their children to go on to becoming engineers at google. Working 60 hour weeks because you are contracting at a few different places makes it a lot harder to advance
The risk of propaganda is too large in any direction to start with news/journalism. Taking different path, if students are taught to challenge/accept/refute ideas in high school science, mathematics, history and economics they learn invaluable skills is far less political charged environments and can then apply those skills to critical analysis of political and journalistic content.

Several problems with this response.

First, the line quoted from the highlights section is referring to the 1054 antibody, which was isolated from a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2, as opposed to one produced from vaccine response[1]. Second, the infection enhancing effect was determined in vitro.

So none of that supports the idea that ADE was actually detected in a human, and particularly the idea that vaccine induced ADE has actually been observed.

All that said, if the results of the paper hold up, they may help explain why the efficacy of the vaccines are reduced in the face of the delta variant. That would be extraordinarily useful in formulating better vaccines, so I'm cheering the science along. I'm less cheerful about the cherry-picking to support anti-vaccine narratives.

It looks like the decline of newspapers happened shortly after that [0].

2009 was the year after a very newsworthy presidential election, so maybe there is some hope. However, in general, there's way more competition today from cable news, video sites like YT, and non-newspaper websites, that are either ad or reader supported. People are also not really buying physical papers anymore, either.

You also can't just handwave "get advertising prices up". How are you going to convince advertisers to pay more?

Comparing the Chinese Tiangong Space Station to the ISS
There is some subtlety that is being left out in the discussion here. Latin American and US producers have a huge incentive to keep others out, so even though it's legal to import in 2021 with the right inspections, importing still requires support from the USDA.

You can see the countries that dominate imports here (screenshots because USDA site is slow):
https://imgur.com/a/Xkum5Kh

original USDA source: https://data.ers.usda.gov/reports.aspx?programArea=fruit&top...

Worth noting, the National Mango Board, which operates under the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service oversight, lists it's roster here - https://www.mango.org/about-the-nmb/meet-the-nmb/meet-the-bo...

Going down the list, the country/region affiliations of the board members are mostly obvious and leaning in favor of Latin America. These appointments are until 2023 and have no representation for the largest mango producers - India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, etc. - also the countries most people agree produce the best mangos in the world.

Taken as a whole, my interpretation is there's a strong lobby by Latin American and US producers keeping the USDA from supporting mango imports from non Latin American countries. In the end, competition drives quality - and until the Latin American and US producers have a need to compete, we will keep getting lower quality and fibrous mangos in the US.

Billionaires have power for two reasons:

* there is an enormous need for capital in modern economies

* everyone else refuses to actually keep any capital. Individuals max out their credit cards instead of saving. Voters demand tax cuts so governments are borrowers instead of lenders.

You can tax back the capital, but there are 2 issues doing so: as long as it's spent and not saved, it will rapidly end up back in billionaire's accounts AND in the mean time, the loss of investment when billionaires pull out capital to pay the tax will mean fewer jobs and higher prices.

These are the reasons no politician is willing to pull the trigger and go after the uber wealthy: you'll be celebrated for a week and then lynched when the economy falters.

You want to get out of this position? Require people to save and balance governmental budgets. But people don't want higher taxes, less services and lower spending power. At least they dislike it more than they like equality and opportunity.

If you really think billionaires have undue influence (and i do), cut your spending, invest and pay down debt and vote for higher taxes and lower state spending.
