Indeed. To some extent, we can use pretty basic principles like the Law of Mass Action (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_mass_action "In chemistry, the law of mass action is the proposition that the rate of the chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the activities or concentrations of the reactants.") to inform our priors on this. We should expect the Moderna one to be both somewhat more effective and have somewhat worse side effects simply due to the higher dose and similar action.

You're not wrong. The cost of cheap mass-produced clothing, relative to consumer income in most industrialized countries, puts such clothes in the range of being effectively disposable to the middle class. A t-shirt can be had for under $10, less than the cost of a decent meal in a restaurant. A cheap pair of shoes for $30. Such abundance would have been unthinkable even a century ago. Of course there are ecological implications to our disposable attitude to clothing.

> we used to have inspectors to do such thing

I understood it to mean that the inspectors would take care to prevent Iran nuclear weapons. Which I found to be a ridiculous claim but formally correct. The same way my claim that you should not trust NYT report in this case, before some due process is ridiculous.

For Cuba, I was referring to missile crisis between USSR and USA. It is always good to be well read thank you for your suggestion, but I think the quoted link to wikipedia is due to your misunderstanding ..

Beyond that, do we agree on this: Iran developes nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to deliver these weapons, and openly threatens to destroy Israel and the scientist was a key figure in it.

If we agree to this, than we can move forward. Since my claim was that Israel thinks the scientist is an existential thread to its existence. Under such curcumstances, imo, in most cases any country would be willing to commit an act of war to eliminate the thread. The Cuba crisis is an example where US would be willing to start a nuclear war because it felt "uncomfortable" having USSR missiles near its borders. So I was asking when you say "We" who do you refer to?
My personal use case that I explain in the “just use UTC isn’t good enough” case: I take meds 2-3 times a day that are short acting and time sensitive. I need them at ~9am and ~1pm to function. Local time, wherever I am.

For the unzoned case I need my reminders to notify me at the same local time wherever I travel. For the mixed case I need to be able to apply local changes where the unzoned solution isn’t available.

These are ADHD meds, I have severe executive dysfunction and I depend on reminders for this. Traveling from Seattle to DC, this is literally the difference of whether I can function at all before lunchtime. Traveling further I might as well not go at all.

(Speculating here.) What I think might be a good idea is to do both. The mRNA vaccines seem extremely effective at what they do, but there might be benefit in giving the immune system experience with other parts of the virus besides the spike as that may make immune escape a lot harder for the virus to pull off.
Indeed, truly an evil conflation to make when the Indian government threatened to jail domestic Twitter and Facebook employees.
Another way to think of it, is that history has shown that a ~65% product margin is the band where most businesses succeed and capital returns are best realized. I know that's not a very "sexy" answer, but a lot of realities are driven on access to capital which is driven by your margins and how it compares to other companies that are also seeking capital.

So it's less that costs scale, and more that you manage your business to keep margins at a certain band.

Two problems:

- the DNS operator doesn’t care. These look like normal requests.

- if they did care, asking an ISP to packet trace ingress traffic is not trivial. At any large scale ISP there are hundreds to thousands of direct peers that could have originated that traffic.
I mean, yes, but a) they didn't have the equipment that could do that at the rate required, b) they certainly couldn't ask their upstreams to do that and at least for some of the attacks, the attack traffic added enough traffic to go over capacity of some of their links; having the upstream null route it was possible and solved the congestion.
How can we talk in generalities about dead virus vaccines vs mRNA when these are the first ever mRNA vaccines approved? And the current attenuated vaccines are certainly not more effective than the mRNA vaccines.

The Mandalorian episodes that Jon Favreau directed are definitely top tier Star Wars. Great writing, great acting, great storylines.

But there are so many lower-quality episodes in that series from less experienced directors with bad acting and weaker storylines. I believe things like bringing back Ahsoka Tano weakens the storyline of the Star Wars original trilogy as much as bringing back Palpatine in the sequel trilogy did. It reduces the impact of sacrifices that were made and raises questions that may never be answered.

I agree the new technique of using "virtual sets" with Unreal Engine rather than green screen [1] is great innovation that helps make way more immersive TV shows with less budget (the first time I saw reflections of CGI characters on Mando's metallic helmet I was awestruck).

I just hope Mandalorian and the other Star Wars series maintain a high quality that we've seen brief flashes of. I'm disappointed when the franchise doesn't live up to my high expectations. Many episodes of Mandalorian are not quite there for me. Some definitely are "perfect Star Wars" though.

The deal never should have been allowed to proceed in the first place. It was a travesty it dragged on for so long... but then again this is Australia that sells gas to overseas countries for half the price we sell to ourselves (even after liquefaction and transport taken into account).

It is so bad, because Australia is the largest gas EXPORTER in the world, but yet on the flipside the system is so corrupted by vested interests that several states of Australia (e.g. Victoria) are are seriously considering saving money by building several gas IMPORT terminals to buy the gas back from foreign countries, after the Australian gas cartel has already sold to those countries for half the price they sell to locals. It runs right to the top, and beyond. The country is run more by the mining powerbrokers and Murdoch than the politicians who are just muppets. Even our current PM famously said something like "the muppet show is over" when trying to placate the media hounding him after the last successful bloodless coup (changing of the countries leader decided only by vested interests)

You're asking for proof that a subjective medium of expression has changed measurably in quality?

I don't have proof, just an opinion. The storylines and plot lines are all formulaic and one dimensional, the characters have basically no depth to them, the name of the game is throw a budget at graphics and rake in the money, and finally, lots of expressive elements are off the table if they want the Chinese market, which they do.

I don't know how many times people can watch the good guy fire laser beams at the bad guy and win and still enjoy it, maybe one day they'll have to mix it up and have the good guys lose until the sequel comes out in which they undo the loss and still win, predictably.

I have to agree with you. For the domain of writing mobile applications with async communication with various services, Dart (in combination with Flutter) seems to allow my to crank more production quality code faster.

More specifically:
1. The Flutter library as a widget toolkit is very intuitive for me.
2. The idiomatic way of extended UI classes through encapsulation is very productive and readable for me.
3. The declarative way in which you configure classes makes other people's code easy to understand.
4. The various methods of doing async lead to many fewer bugs (for me, an average at best coder) than other libraries.
5. It's pretty easy to build an apk and get it on your phone.

All that said, I have never succeeded in getting an iOS build into the store. The build system seems like a house of cards built on top of a house of cards. I know it's possible, but I have never had the patience to power through.

At my workplace, we have a node.js service that solves Vehicle Routing Problems, which are very computationally intensive. When we profiled it, it was spending ~30% of its time on moment.js - mostly constructing lots of moment objects just to do simple things like get UTC-now. We replaced it with native node APIs and got an ~30% speedup.

So yeah, +1 on "be careful about using moment.js in performance sensitive/critical code".
> the economy as is produces enough surplus that one third of working aged males are able to live (and seemingly comfortably) without working

People lived without working for someone else before there was an America. So why have wealth at all?

Living off others is leveraging wealth inequality, not thriving despite it. The number of people not working for someone else, that I know, is about 10. It is not comfortable by modern standards unless your bar for "seemingly comfortable" is have a constructed roof vs living in the wilderness.

Most people without jobs, that I know, are scavengers to some degree or rely on welfare.

I have heard the scavengers called "wookies" (which is a perversion of Star Wars tropes, a misnomer for Jawas) in California. They look at what saleable items they can collect to a central location for evaluation. They repair/repurpose and sell/use or it ends up at the dump or leave it strewn about. If you've worked at a strip mall, you might notice dumped items appear in the back parking. Look for people who empty out homes after repossession or after probate deals with a solitary death, and you'll find them. Constantly in a survival mode.

A non-trivial part of my wife's family are habitual welfare consumers. One branch of the family is having another baby which will allow them to get a bigger apartment by state child welfare rules disallowing certain age boys/girls living in the same room. They habitually smoke tobacco and weed, playing Xbox (gifted by another branch) and house another "family" member. He is the grandpa dodging child support and is purely a wookie.

Land is an inelastic good.

"Buy land. They ain't makin' any more of the stuff." -- Will Rogers

In economics, rents are goods or services whose supply is inelastic (doesn't increase when demand increases), so that any increase in demand simply results in a rise in price.

Another way of looking at this is that all surplus value of that service is appropriated by the seller. This contrasts to normal commodity goods in which price tends to fall to the cost of provisioning. Note that wages generally behave this way as well, with the result that unskilled workers (lacking any wage premium) in a rents-based world are squeezed between wages which deny them all surplus value of labour and rents which appropriate all surplus value of housing. Any increase in wages is immediately met by a corresponding increase in rents.

Your proposal of a direct rent subsidy is the equivalent of a wage increase. You'll pay it to the workers, who'll in turn pass it on directly to the landlords.

Counterintuitively: if you want to lower the cost of housing, tax the unimproved value of land.

Where regulation allows for increased utilisation density, the result is that the tax (as with the wage increase) is passed on to landlords. It effectively takes up the surplus value of housing, and appropriates it for public expenditure. Landlord profits are reduced. Landlords can increase profits by increasing the real estate units available --- by building more units on the same land. This means one or more of less unbuilt land per property (setbacks and easements), smaller units (more people in a given space), or more floors.

Building two storeys rather than one doubles the available real estate. Building up 5 or 10 storeys increases land by a factor of 5 or 10. (It's not necessary to build cloud-scraping towers, even modest increases in height limits will greatly increase housing densities.)

Housing is a good for which increasing taxes, if done correctly, INCREASES supply. Highly counterintuitive, but true.

Have you considered the possibility that critics of the MCU are not elitist and that you merely have underdeveloped taste?

I don’t agree with the sentiment, but the typical argument is that there is not much originality or risk in pop films: they follow a formula or pattern that succeeded before (like The Heroes Journey and others) with slightly different details or characters.

I read the abstract of their paper and I can tell that the paint they created will be completely useless in the real world. No paint company would be interested in this.

They used a 60% volume concentration of barium sulfate. This is very high for an exterior paint and pretty much guarantees that it will have a very poor mechanical durability. The high amount of pigment with make the paint matt and attract dirt easily. Barium sulfate doesn't absorb UV so the paint will be degraded by UV easily.
Technically, it's land that's not a fungible good.

Housing (and other construction) is. The key though is to tax the unimproved land value to make low-density, low-intensity utilisation (and unimproved holdings) economically nonviable.
Yes, disappointingly bad across the political spectrum.
the writing on mandalorian is ultra bad. The characters are caricatures, the dialog stunted. Their ultra advanced production techniques just look like props with some CG. Rather than a show that would appeal to kids but have depth for adults, you get a mostly simple main character who does inexplicable things.

Many ISPs (better called transit providers in this context) offer a service whereby you announce to them a route (over BGP) with a specific BGP community, sometimes over a special session, sometimes inband with your normal transit sessions and they will blackhole (route to discard, null0, /dev/null) all traffic to that IP. Unlike normal internet announcements these are generally (exclusively with the providers i've worked with) available down to the smallest IP unit (v4/32, v6/64) so you can blackhole an IP which is being attacked without impacting other IPs inside the same subnet.

How do you test it? Very simple. Announce an IP (or a few) as blackhole and test to make sure things don't work (from that IP).

Very simply could setup something to ping something on that provider's infrastructure from that IP and... if it starts to work, alert!

What should they do otherwise, after losing such a huge deal in a lucrative region? Honest question. What would you recommend France do in response, even if they realized there were substantial issues months ago and a real risk of losing the contract?
