My pleasure! LiveView is built on Phoenix channels, so it has the same scaling characteristics of a channels application. We had 2 million connections, but what that means is those 2 million websocket connections each started a channel to join the chat room, so we were running full-blown channels in that load test. For LiveView, the main consideration will be memory usage since you are likely to keep more state than something offloading some state to a JavaScript or native UI. That said, check out our docs on `temporary_assigns`, which allows you to specify which template state you hold on to, and which you only need the first time and can throw away (or fetch on demand) later.

The other thing to consider load-wise is the very state that you can now keep in memory allows you to reduce system load. Instead of fetching and authenticating the current user for every interaction, you do that one time for the lifetime of the visit. Database load is drastically reduced and you don't spend CPU cycles doing token verification. So while there's a cost to holding state, in general this will allow you to do much less work than a stateless application.
As someone who just started looking, here is personal reasons:

* Major layoffs early in COVID meant more work for everyone not laid off

* Being run to death to implement new must-have features to keep the business going with the new COVID restrictions (different businesses saw this in their own ways - needing curbside pickup interfaces being a common one)

* Getting further into COVID, starting to hear how great business is doing with massive unforeseen profits - but not seeing any of those profits in my paycheck

* Not able to get approval to get back up to pre-covid staffing levels means everyone is continuing to be overworked

Very difficult to generalize this as this doesn't apply to 'all' things. Maybe for some types of jobs but not for all types of jobs.
General microcontroller questions if you don't mind.

Lets say that I prototype something on dev board like something from Raspberry Pi, or ones from STM. Now I want to do a full product, (like the Tiny Pilot) with the microprocessor on a custom PCB board with just the necessary hardware.

I understand that you have to design the schematic and then get the PCB layout done, but in terms of figuring out which pins to connect, is it just a matter of figuring it out from the microcontroller manual? Additionally, how do you end up programming the microcontrollers, do you have to have a separate programmer since you don't have all the stuff on the dev board?
I mostly agree. For example, I think that Metal doesn't get the love it deserves outside of the dedicated macOS engineers. I feel like Metal is substantially cleaner than OpenGL and way easier than Vulkan, and I feel like the Linux folks really ignore this at their own peril.

I hate how closed-off a lot of their ecosystem can be, and the obvious "I prefer open source" that every engineer says, but I do honestly (and sadly) think that macOS is the least-bad *desktop OS out there right now.
> any agenda detectable?

Yes. It's a pro-manipulative-psychopath agenda. People with great social influence - priests, politicians/nobles, pillars of the community - by definition rely on soft power and social status. People with inherent power of their own - wizards, superheroes, or more mundanely scientists or hackers - are able to ignore or at least resist social power, and are consequently a threat. To the extent that that threat is seen as credible (and magic users were historically seen as credible), social power will be deployed to vilify and discredit them. (Of course, in practice a lot of it is just cultural inertia/established narrative tropes from previous cases.)
What kind of ridiculous metric is "technologically exciting"? CPU/GPU speed is really just a cat and mouse game--soon enough an even crappier suite of Electron apps will make the M1 feel slow. Apple's UI approach is just terrible lately [0][1], and the OS security comment must be a joke in light of the CSAM scanning debacle--are you living under a rock?

> ”We showed up in the last 10% of Earth's (habitable) life.”

While the Earth has hosted microbial life for about 3.7 billion years, it was only about 2.3 billion years ago (the GOE) that free oxygen started to accumulate in the ocean and atmosphere, making complex multicellular life possible.

So we’re probably in more like the last 20% or 25% of the habitable period.

> As much as it is not worthy of being recommended as a treatment, it's unlikely to be harmful and has/had at least a slim chance of working.

Keep in mind that Ivermectin is being pushed within antivaxers circles as a prophylactic and the true COVID-19 cure, in contrast with all COVID-19 vaccines and even mask mandates.

Thus it's false to claim that this push towards Ivermectin is harmless as, at best, it's pushed as a placebo that empowers vulnerable people to catch and spread the disease, which ultimately means they are harming themselves and everyone around them.

I studied this years ago for years. My summary:

- a mandated MLR of 85% means the insurance companies have zero incentive to reduce the cost of items. In fact, their toplines and real (non%) profits increase as healthcare gets more expensive.

- industry profitability for insurance companies is around 3%. So, their overhead is around 15%-3% = 12%. They have an incentive to do their job cheaper. This pales in comparison to the 85% cogs.

- the small company cfo (me) has negative incentive to get involved in my employees' healthcare decisions. In fact, even being aware of cancer, pregnancy, etc. can be used against management in an employee lawsuit. No thanks. We just accept the situation and pay the bill.

- huge companies that can afford to self-insure can do it as they can firewall healthcare information from employment decision makers.

So, who in this system is going for cheaper healthcare:

- employees ... no

- insurance companies .. no

- healthcare providers ... no

- business paying the bills ... no

This bullshit billing structure is the tip of the iceberg. We have no freemarket incentives to keep down the cost of healthcare (i.e., carveout for high deductible insurance plans). Why would we expect otherwise?
I don't believe that any Red Dwarf could be mistaken for a full Dyson Swarm. Some people more knowledgeable than me have put a lot of thought into the science of this. You can probably find a more satisfying answer.

As for the second part, that's easy. There are two key differences:

1. Young solar systems are around young stars and young stars are... young. We can typically age stars, particularly those close by; and

2. A protoplanetary disk is, well, a disk. A full Dyson Swarm is a sphere. To be clear, it's not a rigid sphere, it's just a collection of orbitals that end up occluding the star they orbit in the same way as small water droplets form a cloud or fog.

Alsos I suspect that a protoplanetary disk, even if we're directly on its plane, won't be as dense as a Dyson Swarm.

It was. But here's a simple question:

If I plug my USB-C device in a charger with a cable I found, can I fast charge? Answer is, it depends on the power brick and the cable.

Same question, can I simply get video out with USB-C? Answer is it depends how much of the spec was implemented by both ends and if my cable supports it.
I've published (and still am publishing) multiple meta analyses. IMO,meta analysis on aggregate data is an h-index gaming machine that can never increase the value of its constituents. The amount of missing info in aggregate data is such that it's _always_ impossible to know if the constituent studies really draw from the same population, which is the cornerstone of meta analysis. And that's very practical, because most authors (myself included) mainly use meta analysis as a means to build a career, and not at all for doing science. IMO, current clinical research has very little science left in it. That's a huge shame, and it's a real priority to make that change!
>But I would also point out that under Capitalism, signing a contract usually involves the terms of that contract being made upfront.

There's nothing inherent to Capitalism that prevents variable priced contracts.

>Pretty much every other industry in America has figured out how to put a price tag on the products they sell,

Maybe for mass produced products they have, but certainly not for custom work. You aren't paying for a product but for a custom service. Paying a doctor to fix your body in many cases is more complex than paying someone to build a house, a bridge, or a piece of software. You won't even get an upfront price for something as simple remodeling your kitchen. A contractor estimates that it will cost $20k and then finds that a leak in your attic completely rotted some of the framing, now it's $50k. A builder starts digging the foundation to your house only to discover a huge boulder that has to be moved.

There are parts of medicine that could be made more transparent, but there is an inherent complexity that makes complete or even mostly complete price transparency impossible.

I personally can't use Spotify or Apple Music after taking advantage of Bandcamp.

Bandcamp also only takes a 10% - 15% fee for digital purchases, and 10% of purchases for physical items, which is an incredible deal for artists compared to what they make from streaming services like Apple Music or Spotify.

It seems like you're just saying you don't believe ivermectin works? That's fine and likely correct, but logically it's completely unrelated to its mutual exclusivity to the vaccine.

For instance, if you get tetanus after having the vaccine, you'll still be given antibiotics. If someday ivermectin is proven to have a positive effect against Covid, we won't withhold it from vaccinated patients.

If they were not restricting their risk pool, then how would a couple kids with cancer affect the company's premiums? The costs would be distributed across a much larger population.

When I was shopping around for health insurance for my businesses, the premiums were the same as what they would have been individually on healthcare.gov. Kaiser has a good report showing the costs are not that different based on firm size:

https://www.kff.org/report-section/ehbs-2020-section-1-cost-...

The cost of healthcare is pretty predictable, and spread over a sufficient population converges to the same numbers. Only option I can think of is people were thinking that the employer reduced their portion of healthcare they were subsidizing, and so people thought premiums were going up since the size of the portion they were expected to pay went up? Most people do not really know to look at box 12 code DD of their W-2 to know what is happening with their healthcare insurance premiums.

No system is perfect. If the US had a universal healthcare system, it would suck in many ways. People do, after all, travel to the US for medical care. My point is that there is likely a better local optimum out there than the one you suggest, and coming off as if the problem of healthcare is “solved” is news to people under any system who are suffering due to its inefficiencies or inequities. For example, I live in the US - I have CF and have been taking a drug for more than a year that is extremely effective. It has yet to be approved in some universal healthcare systems, likely due to its high cost (given the small patient population and its extremely high R&D costs.) This is literally killing people who would be alive had they been able to access the drug.

Out of my head (just amateur in Phoenix right now) you could just leverage the API endpoints in Phoenix and implement the iOS and Android frontend with them.
The Views are decoupled. So you can have the business logic, as you would normally do, inside Phoenix, then the API on top of this logic, and then you could either implement the whole LiveView workflow on top of the API or just directly on top of the business logic (if you’re feeling kinky but it invalidates the architecture Phoenix sets up for you).

The Getting Started guide on Phoenix has a lot of useful material even for your use case. I might be missing something crucial though :)
We need to ban polyester. It sheds microplastic fibers, and its coated with hormone-disrupting flame retardants.

When you search 'baby blanket' on Amazon, 6 of the 8 top results are made of polyester.

While we're at it, we should also ban all hormone-disrupting chemical additives (PFAS etc.) from being used in products or packaging that have direct contact with humans, human food or water, or can expect to be deposited into the environment (eg. fire extinguishers, ski wax).

We should probably also mandate international standard sizes of clear and dark-green glass for use in food packaging, to make re-use easier (eg. Pepsi should be able to re-use a 500ml standard glass beverage container for Coke or Beer).

We do have to make drug discovery vastly more efficient, but we want to make it more efficient at making useful drugs available, not just making drugs available. If you decouple availability from effectiveness then drug companies will just market unproven drugs to people who are desperate or who don't know any better. Or even if the drug companies do nothing people will just start taking drugs on the basis of recommendations from Facebook.

Maybe that means building randomized trials into treatment in a much more regular way (like with the Covid RECOVERY trials, where any doctor could enroll patients with a web form, and source the candidate treatment from the local pharmacy), which vastly reduces cost for treatments already on the market with other indications. And perhaps altering the balance of risk for patients with life-threatening or terminal diseases.
