I definitely think it’s interesting that those arguing these things tend not to be the ones who have worked those jobs, instead avoiding them. I think that tells you something right there.

It feels like an era of moral outrage outweighing common sense. And I think social media bears a very large responsibility. Facebook, Twitter etc is creating a generation involved in spending too much time online becoming angry and not enough time actually going outside and changing the world.
It’s not the entire content library. It’s a cache of the most watched at that time.
It's essentially speedpass built into the car, nothing exciting.

Just like the Amazon BNPL scheme is just Layaway or a store credit card gussied up in Tech speak.

The whole article is just asking a bunch of fintech venture capitalists where they want the market to go; and throwing in a quick blurb from a JP Morgan/Chase exec to make it feel well rounded. Most banks and credit unions aren't JP Morgan, BoA, and Wells Fargo.

1: This has nothing to do with excess mortality per se but rather with proper data analysis.

2-3: That's exactly what I mean but you should not measure excess mortality as absolute deaths / million people but you should adjust for demographics. Because if you have older population, you will have more expected deaths. And if you adjust for age the excess mortality vanishes for germany.

4: Yes, it is talked about but not to the extend that would be necessary. In reality most people experience the various negative consequences of the lockdown policies but very few the negative consequences of the virus.

5: This is certainly debatable. If you compare this to the HIV-pandemic (still ~1mio Deaths / yr), then Covid has a factor of 10^5 more public attention (but 2x the death toll). A similar number of people die of tuberculosis. Nobody knows how many people die of influenza or coronavirus each year. We suspect there are 100 Mio dengue virus infections each year. Nobody knows what a once-in-a-century pandemic is. It seems to be a matter of public attention and newness instead of careful data analysis.
Neither I nor the submission have anything to do with the US.
Sweden presently has a very high vaccination rate. In particular, it’s higher than the antivax crowd’s favorite comparison country, Israel.

As of Sep. 1, 82% of eligible Swedes have had one shot, and 70% are fully vaccinated.

Sweden seems to be close to, if not already at, the coveted herd immunity by vaccination.

In comparison, in Israel, 65% have had one shot and only 60% are fully vaccinated (a smidge over half of those 3x).

And Sweden’s deaths per capita from the start of the pandemic are ~1434/1M compared to Israel’s ~824/1M.

Nobody talks about Sweden because its early response was an object lesson in what not to do. And the present situation confirms what we expect in a highly vaccinated population.

The Sweden > world nonsense is based on the oddest data cherry-picking.
Automation and raising wages.
Being a developer while trying to work as a marketer, I see lot of possibility of automating data collection and analysis. I'd love to see a service that can take precise description of the tool I need, and it should get not only developer to build but a tester also test that so the tool I get is working without me needing to get involved much in discussion. As a client my money will go in escrow for posting the project, and as a developer/tester, freelancers would stake some amount (say $1) to start building the tool. So as to discourage those who don't understand the requirements and just do copy paste bidding (speaking from personal experience of being both a freelance developer and a client for several years).

...that's quite a lot even on YouTube, no? I always assumed the videos recommended for their sheer popularity were a "top 1%" sort of situation.
Maybe the idea of PeerTube is a lot nice than the user experience? I can't say, I haven't tried PeerTube. I feel like this is pretty common when it comes to avoiding big tech though. When Github was bought out by Microsoft I went all in on Gitlab, but alas, the company I work for now uses Github. The sheer gravity of it pulled me back in.
The US is still not ready. The vast majority of people have access to only over subscribed coaxial cable internet, with non existent upload allocation.
The only major point of the flowchart that I disagree with is the part about paying off mid to low interest debt.

I suppose that is where the "personal" part of personal finance comes into to play.

For example, a person will post something like, "Should I pay off my $50k student loans at 4%-6% as fast as possible, or should invest more?"

Common responses include:

1. "Would you take out a $50k loan at 4%-6% to invest?"

2. "Paying off your loans is a guaranteed 4%-6% return."

The problem I have with this advice is that in the case of response #1, that is somewhat of a false equivalence. Also, I am not sure outside of a HELOC where one could even get a $50k loan for 4%-6%. Even in this environment currently, I see banks advertising their low interest loans which clock in around 8%-12%. (I'm not counting margin loan rates in this example).

As for #2, I feel like this advice is okay at face value, but tends to fall apart once one takes more factors into account. One such factor people often miss is that one must use post-tax income to pay off student loans. Thus, in the US, assuming the person asking for advice has any income at all, then he or she must pay 10% <= x <= 37% in taxes to pay a 4%-6% loan, thus it's a guaranteed loss of 10% to 37% to get a guaranteed return of 4%-6%.

I'm not trying to downplay the powerful psychological aspect of paying off debt, but I do think more people should consider the mathematically optimal option as well (making the minimum payments on debt while maxing out tax advantaged savings before making additional payments on debt).

After all, time is the most important factor in the compounding returns/interest formula, and one can make more money but not more time. Plus, inflation slowly chips away at loans just as much as savings.
I don't think that type of corruption is most prevalent in Western societies.
Many countries have state-run or state-subsidised childcare.

Universal or managed childcare - like health care - is one of those things that is a massive drag on the economy if it isn't provided.

In addition to Mozilla, Apple (Safari) and Microsoft (Edge) also have significant participation in web standards. I'm really glad Firefox exists, and they definitely punch above their weight in the standardization process, but Microsoft and Apple are also serious participants.

I have strong doubts that partial application will ever advance from stage 1. The reason is that partial application was supposed to compliment the pipeline operator[1].

value |> fn(?, "static string")

However earlier this month they advanced a version of the pipeline operator with a definite topic marker which makes partial application useless in the RHS of the pipeline operator. This was of course really controversial, as you can see if you read thought the most resent issues (particularly the closed ones).

It seems that your definition of "good husbands and fathers" implicitly disallows non-monogamous interactions.

I would bet that men (from couples) who have clear and open communication can be otherwise very loving partners and devoted parents without also having to be monogamous. If you zoom out just a bit and look at what is physically occurring, why should it be that physically touching someone else would prevent you from continuing to be a good parent and partner?
But it is a prerequisite.

> The dogmatism of putting all women to work for the last 50 years.

> The problem of childcare cost is unsolvable with women at work, it's as simple as that.

What kind of nonsense is this?

One in six women never go on to have children, it's great news that these women's access to the labour market has improved.

Second, childcare ratios aren't 1 to 1. In fact they're about 1 to 4 for babies <1 year, 1 to 10 for 5 year olds, and 1 to 12 at school age. Suppose all women had children (they don't), society still greatly benefits from the efficiency of a childcare ratio as high as 1:12 as opposed to women caring for their child 1:1.

Third, children aren't permanently children, and certainly not permanently babies. The first few years requires a lot of parental or private childcare, but afterwards kids mostly go to school for most of the day. A woman will have at least 45 years between adulthood and retirement and most of that kids won't need constant parental care like the first few years. Making sure women stay active in the labour force (even part-time) will greatly help their chances in the labour market throughout their career.

Fourth, I see no reason why we're speaking about women rather than about parents. Providing income and childcare are shared responsibilities. It's fine to arrange it in your own family as you wish, but society shouldn't speak about these topics as if they should only apply to women.
> partly because I miss writing Clojure

You tried Racket, but have you tried Racket+Rackjure? https://github.com/greghendershott/rackjure It's a Clojure-like language in Racket, so you can use the http library of Racket from it. I'm not sure how compatible it is with Clojure.
Maybe WhatsApp knows that these 2 people are friends, so it tries to serve person B ads that worked for person A.

This is exactly what I felt was missing as well. Git is the kind of "skill" you can only master on the job, doing lots of case studies, not just reading documentation and tutorials.

There are lots of other programs like that, GDB for example, each with it's own challenge of sythesizing case studies. I hope this kind of learning continues, not only with git, but across other programs as well.

One of the only things both parties been agree on is spending lots of money. They differ only in rhetoric and what they want to spend that money on. The most fiscal restraint is usually shown when you've got a split executive - legislative across both parties since neither is inclined to work towards the other which simultaneously retards the growth of the budget slightly.

Sometimes the rustle in the bushes actually is a tiger. But I think some people live in a world haunted by tigers. The internet has given these individuals an unprecedented ability to connect with others who see things in a similar way.

People suffering from something like this may feel totally isolated from regular people around them and so meeting fellow sufferers online must be a great relief and comfort. Unfortunately, from their perspective, the affliction is external rather than internal.
Slightly unrelated, but did they ever consider P2P? It scales really well and saves Terabytes of bandwidth, so I wonder what the cons are, except that's it's associated with illegal distribution.

The essay mentions this as an absurd argument, but then completely fails to explain why it's an absurd argument.

He does make a strong case for the use of biometric authentication with the group of people who aren't willing or able to spend any energy on security, but he didn't make the case for why people who are so willing and able should use it.
I live in Sweden and honestly, I'm glad I do. The rest of the world seems to have forgotten human rights, natural immunity, how to look up statistics, how viruses work etc.

We are going back into offices in October. The pandemic is over here, and it never was even very serious.

About 1500 people under 50 died of covid, from 10.2 million. That's a survival rate of 99.9995%.

If you count the older people, it's "only" 99.995%.

Some pandemic. I know it was bad in the US but most likely because the population is in poor health due to the country thinking poor people should eat shitty foods and never have any time outside of work.

I think the covid response in different countries shows a lot about how they view humans.
were other political parties affected by this?
Ugh I lost interest once the profanity started - which is a pity, as the author was just starting to sound like they had some good points to make.
Ironically, wikipedia lists the history as UF originally turning down a patent offer.

Then, when Robert Cade commercialized it and demonstrated sales, they sued him for a cut. The two parties settled on 20% for UF, plus reinvestment of some of the proceeds in Cade's research at the school. [0]

So apparently all schools are amateur at commercialization. UF just has more experience than most.

And generally, it seems like most universities do better spinning applied research and licensure off into an associated organization, who can focus on that. E.g. Ames, Argonne, JPL, LLNL, Lincoln Lab, ORNL

New York had a huge number of deaths early. They went from around 10 on Apr 1 2020 to 120 on May 1 2020 (all numbers are cumulative per 100k). They were at 153 by Jun 1 2020.

From June 1 2020 to the end of 2020 they had an additional 40.

In the first 6 months of 2021 they added 80.

Since then they have added 7.

Florida was still around 10 by June 1 2020.

From June 1 to the end of 2020 they added 90.

In the first 6 months of 2021, Florida added 75.

Since then they have added 63.

Comparing, Florida did substantially better than New York for the first 10% of the time since the pandemic started. For the second half of 2020 New York had less than half the death rate of Florida. In the first half of 2021 they were close. Then, in the era of widespread vaccine availability New York has dropped an order of magnitude from where they were in the first half of 2021 whereas Florida has merely dropped about 20%.
I'd say there's one extra preliminary step missing:

Oh the 3d pipes screensaver. When I was 15, in high school, we had to spent 1 week every year in apprenticeship in some field-related company. Me and two other classmate went to one small telecommunication firm. On the first day boss called us to the conference room and told us to sit down. I sat on the nearest chair, the boss leaned to me and whispered to my ear "that's my chair!". Then he gave us notebook with 10 minute ISDN presentation and left. He said he will be back after 8 hours. We watched it 2-3 times, then out of boredom we were checking new screensavers in brand new windows and we spent good two hours watching the pipes screensaver. We forget to turn it back, when boss returned, the notebook wake up from sleep, shortly flashed pipes screensaver and then showed ISDN presentation. "You changed the screensaver? Get the hell out of here!". And fired us. We spent the rest of the week slacking in the town and then made some bullshit made up report about ISDN afterwards. Good times.
A lot of people see the usefulness of PeerTube but don't move because the creators they watch are on YouTube. It's the same for the creators, though - they can't move off of YouTube entirely, because none of their viewers will go to a PeerTube instance just to watch that one creator. Thus nobody moves to PT unless there are other factors (like extremist creators moving because their videos keep getting removed by YT).

Another major problem that prevents creators from hosting on PeerTube is that there are no ads - many see direct-from-YouTube revenue driven by Premium views/Ad views generate a significant portion of their income. Even Linus Tech Tips, with their audience of gamers who mostly running an ad blocker, sees YouTube generate 26% of their profit[0], almost exactly as much as they get from sponsors spots in their videos. If everyone were to move to PT, we'd either need an intermediary for ads, or only creators with audiences that could afford to personally finance them (via Patreon or similar) would be able to survive and make a living off of running their channel.

What countries have fewer deaths per 100K than Sweden? All of Sweden’s neighbors.

And in real life if they choose to be more exposed, what do you call that? My girlfriend hates guys that try and police “sexy”, she finds it ironically misogynist. Her girl friend is a gamer that loves all the scantily clad women, collects figurines and posters etc.

Men just don’t compete as much on physical looks, and we can speculate if it’s caused be patriarchy or natural preference, but I have a real strong feeling it’s the latter. Go to a beach or a party where women and men seem fairly free to choose how to present themselves - they seem to really enjoy it. Women post revealing photos on social media and generally the comments are filled with positivity from other women, yet if it’s in a video game suddenly it’s a problem.
This is a symptom of the extremely poor design of its user interface (conceptually, I mean, not how it looks), notwithstanding its origins in Linux royalty.
So if your explanation is right, then we should also expect to see only a tiny effect in the practical use of math, reading, writing, etc. between people who went to school and people who didn't. Because only 2 cared enough to pay attention. Right?

Would the time spent re-implementing a specialised Terraform subset be better spent simply maintaining a private branch of the AWS Provider? You can add your secret/special API without having to do all the other heavy lifting as well.

This makes your own effort for customisation minimal, keeps your knowledge portable and because your added features can be separated in to different files and the provider API is stable you can also easily backport/fast-forward new changes.
I suppose they're tried and tested formulas, that have become sufficiently unfamiliar that they stand out from their contemporaries. In 30 years maybe you could do the same with films about superheroes discovering their true inner strength and having a big CGI fight at the end.
It still specifies "fulfillment by Amazon" in the text under the price, though, implying they aren't selling it directly.

A clear indicator that it's directly from Amazon and not intermingled is "Ships from and sold by Amazon". Any mention of fulfillment in that text should make you slightly more cautious.

Obviously, this entire situation is stupid and they shouldn't force you to parse their little blurbs about selling/fulfillment, but the information is there.
$0.20/ TB costs is not for their agreements with Amazon, bulk of their video traffic is directly peering with ISPs, AWS largely serves for their APIs, and orchestration infrastructure.

Amazon and most Cloud providers do overcharge for b/w. You can buy a OVH/Hetzner type box with a guaranteed un-metered 1 Gbps public bandwidth for ~ $120/month easily, which if fully utilized is equivalent 325TB / month or $3-4/TB, completely ignoring the 8/16 core bare metal server and attached storage you also get. This is SMB/ self-service prices, you can get much deals with basic negotiating and getting into a contract with a DC.

One thing to remember though not all bandwidth are equal, CSPs like AWS provide a lot of features such as very elastic scale up on-demand, a lot of protection up to L4 and advanced SDN under the hood to make sure your VMs can leverage the b/w, that is computationally expensive and costly.
I'd say it means, at minimum, have a place they are allowed to shelter, and find enough food to sustain their existence.
I would really like to see a project like this actually attempted. Protests against it would be very understandable because of the impact of several large power plants. I think the biggest issue might be that they also need to release the waste heat somehow. That would mean water consumption and cooling towers with steam clouds that might be visible from far away.
Terraform Is Not the Golden Hammer

I just do some Clojure programming, and I'm not deep into JVM things - but why does Android not even make a mention? Isn't it the most widely used JVM platform..?

2 -

> This does come with some restrictions and caveats; for example, it's not as straightforward to use Reflection in your Java code.

Is GraalVM going to push Reflections out of Java/JVM?

I guess my angle is I'd like to use the JVM to make (desktop) apps. Last I did, using cljfx/JavaFX reflections were a huge sore point. Ever dependency would drag in the whole kitchen sink - and reflections are an ugly wart that prevent unused classes/namespaces from being pruned.

I know technically there is Proguard.. but it's clunky and ugly I've never gotten it to work with Clojure. Graal native looked like a sort of light at the end of the tunnel.

Whats the story with WASM and the JVM? Both designs seem eerily similar - but I don't know if the gap between the two is too large to bridge
