>What this says is that, even in a democracy, the ~90th percentile rich have the most influence, business interest groups have about half as much, and mass interest groups have about a third as much. We less rich folks only get what we want, to the extent we do, because these elites mostly agree with us, and because we sometimes influence mass interest groups.

>Thus elites support harsh, intrusive, and punitive business taxes, regulations, and legal liability. Yes when the super-rich are taxed, these elites are also taxed, but that may seem worth the price to take them down a peg or two. Most ordinary people miss this conflict by not distinguishing these two different kinds of “rich”.

Arne't the super-rich a subset of the elite?

Now that I looked, Debian lists it under ‘Suggests’, so apparently it’s not mandatory. Still, I get the impression it’s at least preferred.

It's humorous to me that you're dismissing this particular criticism of the Western media's "global think" COVID response in the same exact way that the media and the experts have been dismissing criticism for their repeated contradictions and invalid causation resulting from inability to correctly correlate a lot of COVID data. Additionally, this article isn't written to share suggestions. It's to demonstrate that there are more than one way to handle a crisis that nobody knows how to deal with and instead of pointing fingers and blaming we should be looking at data.

Except with no actual enforcement mechanism. Can we stop saying these are equivalent? It’s just not true to pretend they are.

I am seriously interested and that’s the best answer so far, although from what I can see nothing breaks out of the financial derivatives space yet.
I picture them that way mostly because of all the games of Stratego I played as a kid. I was surprised not to see it mentioned in the article!

I was aware of xhliu's work before. It's actually a big thing because Ethereum was created with the assumption that bitcoin's scripting language does not allow for state transfers (stateful contracts) and turing-complete computations.
The advantage over account-based systems like Ethereum is scalability: Ethereum contracts are one central entity identified by their address, any access on the contracts must be serialised which leads to scaling issues with popular contracts. Bitcoin's UTXO model on the other hand is rather easy to parallelize; but scalable UTXO-based contracts also require a different design.
I kind of view git like vim, awk, or Emacs. It has a complex set of features, and it takes time and practice to learn to use them sufficiently well.

The quality of the introductory documentation has gotten better over the years, thank goodness. I know a great many developers who are terrified of git, and stick to the couple of commands they get taught by the team lead.
Thanks for the feeback. I was hoping that the other words on the slide (LACP and bonding) would give enough context.

I'm afraid that my presentation didn't really have room to dive much into LACP. I briefly said something like the following when giving that slide:

Basically, the LACP link partner (router) hashes traffic consistently across the multiple links in the LACP bundle, using a hash of its choosing (typically an N-tuple, involving IP address and TCP port). Once it has selected a link for that connection, that connection will always land on that link on ingress (unless the LACP bundle changes in terms of links coming and going). We're free to choose whatever egress NIC we want (it does not need to be the same NIC the connection entered on). The issue is that there is no way for us to tell the router to move the TCP connection from one NIC to another (well, there is in theory, but our routers can't do it)

I hope that helps
1. Could GPU acceleration help at all?

2. When serving video, do you use floating point operations at all? Could this workload run on a hypothetical CPU with no floating point units?

3. How many of these hardware platforms do you guys own? 10k?100k?
If they were intrusive, I'd just stop using it. The internet is full to the brim of videos from other platforms. YouTube isn't the only game in town. I use it mostly because it's convenient. If it became much less convenient (and, honestly, they've made a number of "enhancements" lately that have made it a bit less convenient), the cost/benefit ratio would no longer be favorable.
> If they buy up the bank charter, doesn't that mean the whole company then becomes regulated like a bank charter? Wouldn't it make more sense to just continue using their services?

It likely would remain its own entity, similar to how banking and credit services are provided by different subsidiaries at places like Capital One.
you are making an interesting point that is shadowed by the extra comment. the floppy disk image as "save" icon is rare in most native mac apps.

GP's point is quite interesting because there is a generation or two that hasn't seen a real floppy disk beside on those icons. they probably have no clue what it is.

i wonder what other icon images are like that.
For text based files, I think a versioning like system built into the filesystem would be ideal. Each save is just the diff. A nice UI to see/revert changes. Yet the lack of commit type messages would make those changes less friendly. I don't want to be burdened/slowed down with commit messages everytime I hit Cmd-S.

However, this would not work for binary type files like MOV, PSD, etc.
Same, and this is my problem with almost all that want mandates to end: what is the proposed solution, then?

Also, to me at least there is very clear motivation for governments to keep people alive and profit motive for vaccine manufacturers to make vaccines that work.

Unfortunately these days we seem to live in a world where 100% effort is put into criticizing actions and 0% into searching for a better solution.
Well, anecdata, late '80's office computers were changed and the new ones only had 3.5" floppy drives while older ones all had 5.25" ones.

Someone managed to insert a 5.25" floppy in the gap between the covers for the (empty) 5.25" bays just over the 3.5" drive slot.

It makes some strange impression to me to talk of floppies in the past and to think that many people never actually saw one (let alone use it).

This may be a naive question, but data is sent at 400Gb/s to the NIC, right? If so, is it fair to assume to assume that data is actually sent/received at a similar rate?

I ask since I was curious why you guys opted not to bypass sendfile(2). I suppose it wouldn't matter in the event that the client is some viewer, as opposed to another internal machine.
(Disclosure: I work on a startup in the personal finance space).

This is actually a much wider problem on two dimensions:

1. Beyond personal finance, a LOT of content out there right now is basically content marketing for something that's crafted more around "can it get SEO traffic" and "can it convert that traffic to something monetizable". It's just a giant funnel.

2. Even in personal finance, it's not just content. A lot of products that in theory should be helping you improve your finances are lead generation funnels too (especially the free ones). In other words, the marketing funnel extends beyond just content and pervades the very products we use.

For instance, a really popular (tens of millions of users) personal finance product just sent me an email recommending that I invest in art since "art has outperformed the S&P 500". It was an ad, but you'd have to read the fine print to see that. Another popular one (over 100M) has a tab on their site called "My Recommendations", with fine print saying "We suggest offers based on your credit, Approval Odds, and money we make from our partners". It's all for credit cards and personal loans.
Well "dating app" is a bit of a euphemism here for no strings attached sexual encounters since will be leaving soon, isn't it? Met guys who hosted primarily just for "easy hook ups", and am sure many woman enjoyed it for same reason. Nature of travel for most 20-somethings anyways.
>Because they have a loan to pay back. Over a finite amount of years. And lowering rent means longer time to pay back the loan, meaning breach of contract.

I don't get it. Refusing to rent out the property means even longer time to pay back the loan, doesn't it? It can't be the reason.

If i were you, i would offer it to them as an in house hosted service. That clears the SSO and shared database requirements. Remember to specify remote access for you as the developer.

I completely agree. For me it's less readable. I also think math is less accessible due to its use of random symbols that are context-dependent.

"Readability" is a highly, highly subjective matter, and depends on one's education, background, knowledge, experience etc. People seem to use it as a shorthand for "math-like shorthand", but that's not what I mean when I say readable, it's like we speak in a different language.

Personally I find the adjective "readable" a major trigger, it seems to be thrown around by people who are either trolling or who seem to live in a kind of a social (online) bubble and don't know anyone else with a even a slightly different background. This is always slightly shocking to me.
> Except with no actual enforcement mechanism.

Can we not ignore when any given enforcement mechanism associated typically with laws don't get executed when laws are broken by various actors? It's dishonest to pretend that traditional enforcement mechanisms are consistently used.

> although from what I can see nothing breaks out of the financial derivatives space yet.

You'd probably think that traditional non profit organization with a bank account is a financial derivative then if you research some of these Social DAO's and consider them being in the financial derivatives space.
There's an interesting other side there too: corporations are our "slow AI", if we take a more realistic approach to their legal personhood perhaps we can all benefit.

Your first point (childcare) is probably one of the more understated points. When families have 2 children under 5, the cost of childcare for both children encroaches the income of one parent alone. Many find it more convenient just to stay home with their kids for 3-4 years than work just so their kids have childcare.

I don't know that there is much the government can do. Childcare facilities actually run on thin margins and turnover is high. State regulations are often aggressive towards child to caretaker ratios.

I would also suggest a 4th point:

4. People that were on the verge of retirement (within 5-10 years) that were either laid off and never re-entered the workforce or opted for early retirement.

Age discrimination probably sets in with folks 50 and over that want to either change careers or re-engage with their career path after time off due to the pandemic. Plus with the stock market seeing record gains, their retirement plans are probably looking very enticing.
Yes. I ran it for a bake off ~2 years ago. At the time, the code in linux was pretty raw, and I had to fix a bug in their SW kTLS that caused data corruption that was visible to clients. So I worry that it was not in frequent use at the time, though it may be now.

My understanding is that they don't do 0-copy inline ktls, but I could be wrong about that.
Sweden sacrificed ~20k elderly people to covid for no actual gain. Very questionable for a society that claims to be a "humanitarian superpower"

It's solid-state physics - there is pretty crazy stuff possible by coupling/decoupling or increasing/decreasing properties (e.g. mass, charge, spin) of particles that we otherwise think of as being "elementary".

This is bad faith from the first paragraph:

Rust's Chrono lib is outstanding. Clean API, and works how you expect. This is the only lang I've used that has a good 'default' DT lib. It can compile with `no_std`, ie embedded targets.

You already have IKVM for that, with various degrees of success depending on the library.
I fear I'm probably part of the problem, or I was too "late."

I'm on the younger end, and around 2014 is when I was in my early 20's and rather much do airbnb vs couchsurfing because the reviews and the paywall was a compliment to allowing strangers stay in my place (alongside a fake/marketing fluff guarantee piece.) So I joined airbnb and used that, because couchsurfing was on the way out.

Early 00's Couchsurfing was a bit unregulated, and many people here forgot to mention the downsides - sexual assaults, thefts and such, which is not to say they didn't happen on airbnb or hotels, but the optics were never handled properly because "stranger, staying on couch, assaulted host" always catches headlines.

Plus comparing an airbnb to an couch vs a hotel, airbnbs won , you had a room for $20-40 a night, no fees - sometimes even less.

Now, there's room for another disruption, airbnb is highly not as efficient anymore for customer experience on the low end as they're moving to high end experiences, vrbo is kinda doing it's own thing and hotels are hotels.

Or maybe the high price of airbnbs are a reflection of how in demand and efficient all this actually is.
There’s IKVM for running Java libraries in .NET.
It's GPL 2, with an exception which lets you distribute binaries containing your own code linked to the JDK without having to provide the source to your own code (see '"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL' at the end):

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/LICENSE

This is substantially the same as the GCC Runtime Library Exception, which lets you distribute GCC-compiled binaries linked to the GCC runtime without having to provide the source.

That's it.
> It is strictly enforced in France

It’s not strictly enforced. Exit polls published outside France are collected inside France. Those who collect with clear intent to immediately publish are subject to French law, and may be fined. Which, from what you are saying, does not happen.

> I am not sure I understand that point

I am not sure how to explain it better. You should not both demand lawful election and circumvent electoral laws at the same time. You can, and people do, but it’s not a strong position.
Equinox: Almost Equal Day and Night
The life of thinking (Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Strauss)
The basic form of financial literacy that is unbelievable to me that people still need to be told this:

>Income should always exceed expenses; work to minimize expenses and maximize income.

>You should always be saving money. A fool and their money are soon to part.

>Time = money. The purpose is to maximize both.

>Loans are assets and must be paid back plus interest.

The last step, learn double entry accounting and manage your budget tracking everything. If you don't even do that, you aren't even aware of what you blow your money on to know where to start.

I found that for me, the best way to learn anything is to write very extensive notes as if I was teaching the topic, i.e. the Feynman Technique. As I go through the process, I compose a collection of Questions/Exercises to solve and have frequent revisions, in which I draw random exercises and solve them.

By the time of the examination, I have an extensive set of notes that I can search through, and have transitioned to solving the exercises for speed over precision since precision has already been attained. I also transition from solving on paper to solving in my head.

By solving for speed, I mean that after many repetitions the answer that I provide is coarser and distilled because I have good understanding of the finer details, and the finer details can only be attained by writing extensive notes and solving for precision.

In the end of the day though, time is needed to fully absorb the content. The reason is that making structural changes in the brain is very expensive, but spaced repetition and usage of certain pathways make them much more efficient.

In essence, the Feynman Technique is, inho, the best way for a scientist to self-study a topic, and flashcards in various forms along with spaced repetition help achieve that task.
> Tallying the wedge issues is terrible methodology

I'm unclear why you think these are wedge issues. I've copied what I think is the relevant paragraph describing the sample:

These 1,779 cases do not constitute a sample from the universe of all possible political alternatives (this is hardly conceivable), but we see them as particularly relevant to assessing the public’s influence on policy. The included policies are not restricted to the narrow Washington “policy agenda." At the same time—since they were seen as worth asking poll questions about—they tend to concern matters of relatively high salience, about which it is plausible that average citizens may have real opinions and may exert some political influence.

The authors describe the issues as "high salience" because they were deemed worthy of being in opinion polls, and presumably because they were part of the national discourse. To the extent these are wedge issues, what poll question isn't a wedge issue? Polls concern possible changes to society, and that will always have opposing sides.
Energy ranges, knowing exactly how far you are from the source of the neutrinos, and background exclusion.

If you are too far from the source, the mixing you might be measuring might have happened already happened. You can build a detector right next to the source, and also far away, and correlate the differences.

External interference can be excluded on energy range, direction, and “timing” - you know exactly when the pulse happened in the source and can exclude things outside that window (as the neutrinos all travel at the speed of light to within measurement error).

Things like neutrinos from the sun can and have been measured, but for many things you want to measure you need more careful control.
Corporation tax isn’t a cost of doing business, it’s calculated after costs have been removed from revenue.
Aren't the lunatics in this context the ones who refuse to get a vaccine because they "did their own research"?
This brings up a good point. Most (all?) people get complacent to some degree or another. When you have a big event come along and disrupt, in particular, low paying jobs, suddenly the inertia of complacency is gone and people start looking for options. I think that's a large part of what we've seen here. That combined with the societal realization of how shitty service jobs are lead to a perfect storm of migration away from such jobs.
elites become intellectuals, intellectuals have their solid bias. whenever someone was converted, they will get same bias. e.g., world should be changed to 'better way' by them.

> Isn't this a fairly easy problem to solve? Don't you just need to make a reasonable guess, calculate your expected weight change over some time period, then follow the diet to see what actually happens to your weight, and adjust your guess accordingly?

It's easy if you do the work, weigh your food and find the number that's unique to your situation, which could take a month or so adding or taking away calories to find. Having a model to account for all the ephemeral things that plays into that unique number consistently for the population at large is the hard part

Nutritional science is hard because adherence to the diet is to be taken with a grain of salt, you have to just trust participants. Where outside of athletes I doubt may people have the energy to weigh everything, which also starts to feel unhealthy mental health wise making you seem crazy.

I get alot of push back for it myself, and have to plan around not weighing and counting calories to not get to anxious about it since I am so aware of how a small bit of extra food can have me 'lose' so much progress

Me too. I have one account that I use for my fiction/poetry submissions that I'll log into via the web interface when I get a response because Apple Mail doesn't have a way to be able to apply multiple tags to a message and I tag each response with the journal, the submission and whether it's a rejection or acceptance (plus a star if there's specific feedback). Other than that, all my mail access is through Apple Mail either on my Mac or on my phone.
