I'd love to know how much AMD's massive lead is due to AMD's designs and how much it is due to TSMC's 7nm node. Alder Lake on Intel 7 looks like it will largely close the gap, so I think that means AMDs designs are roughly on par with Intel's and the massive eclipsing is due to TSMC. Of course being on par with Intel's IP is still a huge accomplishment.

When you see a lot of books, ask the seller for a bulk discount. Check with recycling centers and ask really nicely. Third, local libraries get donations they then sell for money donations or they have to dispose of - especially old text books.

These are ways to acquire books, but maybe not quality or good condition. Another option is Half Price Books sells "books by the foot" like old encyclopedias or law books for aesthetic value.
Do you suggest releasing a catalyst into atmosphere? It may be dangerous, people tend to release methane, kids sometimes injure themselves by "catalysing" reaction of methane with oxygen by a flame source just for fun of watching flame farts. It would be unfortunate if these flame farts happened spontaneously as a sort of an embarassing social accident.

The problem with your second statement is that we all of these posts and articles are attempts to throw evidence to support something you have already decided is true. More bad/non evidence does not make an argument and continually citing bad evidence that doesn’t prove your point reduces the credibility of the argument you are making.

Inventory is at all time lows. Landlords having to sell helps that, and it's not like they will be starving in the street. Few have sympathy for a person needing to sell non-primary residences.

All of that said, I think you overestimate the number of homes held by struggling landlords, if even such a thing exists. Corps own a -lot- of rental homes.

Think what you will about the eviction moratorium, but why is it in the purview of the CDC to pass a rule that prevents evictions and under what authority? What does this have to do with disease control or prevention? I read through their charter [0] and it's weird that they have the authority to do this and no one questions it.

Suspicious of what exactly? The COVID vaccines aren’t very profitable, certainly not compared to the monoclonal antibodies, antivirals etc, of which the unvaccinated are the greatest consumers. However, the data is unequivocal on their effectiveness in drastically reducing negative outcomes. The vaccines being involved in political in-group out-group dynamics is bitterly regrettable, but that is circumstantial to whether there is legitimate suspicion of the vaccines.

The linked article [1] from 2019 has this:

I guess “cryptocurrencies” could be replaced in this paragraph by many other things (past, present and forthcoming) that allow exchange of value and this would ring true to some or many people. The entire article had many great points, but this paragraph sullied it. I have a lot of respect for Bruce Schneier and his work, but I also realize that every human has their own biases and blind spots.

The government never had the authority to create such a moratorium in the first place, as found by the SCOTUS:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/26/us/eviction-moratorium-en...

From the ruling: “The C.D.C. has imposed a nationwide moratorium on evictions in reliance on a decades-old statute that authorizes it to implement measures like fumigation and pest extermination,” the opinion said. “It strains credulity to believe that this statute grants the C.D.C. the sweeping authority that it asserts.”

Aluminum is supposed to be pretty tolerant of extra protons in its matrix. You might passivate the surface to be electropositive, to repel the ends of the H2 molecules as they try to weasel into the gaps. Liquified hydrogen is anyway much less mobile than gaseous hydrogen, and when used at atmospheric pressure, nothing is trying to force the molecules in.

Gaseous H2 at the extreme pressure people try to use is a much greater nuisance.

Synchromesh is a manual transmission technology and is perfectly robust to downshifting. Every auto gearbox in history has been capable of downshifting and can handle it just fine. I downshift my 50 year old C4 transmission regularly.
The real problem is that they don’t know how to write fast end-to-end tests. Not having solid end-to-end tests is a massive red flag. Also, each service can be simulation tested in isolation. So even if they don’t have the skills to do end-to-end testing, they could at least do per-service simulation testing, with each service team responsible for running those tests independently.

I'll be interested to see how it goes, will you follow up with a blog post in a couple months?
You have a good point. In fact, it's surprising that (per the article) only 2.2M renters are 4+ months behind, considering how long the moratorium was in place.

Separately, there are state and local programs doing rent forgiveness, eg. https://www.bcsh.ca.gov/covidrelief/
good. I just wish california wasn’t bailing out every person on back rent, keeping the market artificially high.
Agree. Other organisations can effective run very large end-to-end tests. So it is most definitely possible. If they don’t have the in-house skills to do it then they should hire somebody who can.
It's just unrealistic to be honest. Most people don't want publicity.
... but then you'd have to explain the infection geography in humans with two events. Not saying it's not possible, but lining it up with what's known epidemiologically speaking is different.

Also, I'm not sure why the lab leak hypothesis is suddenly trickier. They had all sorts of samples.

Labeling this all as "mental gymnastics" as in the article, or "a dagger in the heart of the lab leak hypothesis" is just the sort of motivated analysis confirmatory bias that caused all this in the first place. I'm not sure how arguing that SARS-CoV-2 involved two spillover events with crossover from multiple species is less mental gymnastics than "a lab had multiple samples".

Honestly I'd like to see more dispassionate discussion of this. That Nature piece is shameful.

At some level I don't care if it was a lab leak or not but I wish there wasn't this level of motivation behind both sides.

In any event, the grant proposal should raise a lot of red flags regardless. What bothers me often is this implied assumption that if the lab leak hypothesis is false, everything else is fine. It's all fine that a plausible biosecurity failure scenario was ridiculed, that major research groups clearly lied about and tried to cover up conflicts of interest, that we can trust these (GoF) lines of research are safe, that we can just trust the authority figures to not cause another pandemic, etc. etc. etc.
Hilarious - I never said anything about regret.

I said simply that either you’ll be proven right in a crash, have some point where you’d be willing to reverse your position, or just never change your mind. These three scenarios are obviously the only outcomes. So I was wondering if you could write down a point in terms of time + price where you’d change your mind. If not, and there is no other scenario where you would, then you’re holding an unfalsifiable position.
The btrfs allocation policy is to put data on the device with the most free space, after respecting requirements for redundancy. So if your drives are sized 8+4+2+2 and you're using the RAID1 profile, it will in fact operate as 8+(4+2+2), using only the 8 and 4TB devices until the 4TB device is half full, at which point it starts using the 2TB devices.

You can still end up in the situation where there's data that is duplicated across the two 2TB devices, if those are the two you started with and you added the larger devices later. But that can be fixed by doing a rebalance operation at any time after adding more devices. That's usually a good idea, though sometimes you might want to avoid a full rebalance so as not to put too much IO load on a single disproportionately large device.

(If you want a hard guarantee that no data will ever be mirrored across the two 2TB drives, use dm/md to concatenate them into a 4TB block device, and add that to the btrfs array.)

I have a btrfs array currently consisting of a mix of 1TB, 2TB and 4TB devices; 10 drives with a nominal total capacity of 26TB. This is using the RAID1 profile for data, and has been using the RAID1c3 profile for metadata since that feature became available. The number of drives in this array has fluctuated up and down over the years and it has survived drive failures and the accidental removal of the wrong drive from the hot-swap bay, and hasn't lost data in that time. But the current allocation is a bit uneven, because I don't always rebalance after adding or removing devices.
> For two decades and more, in states all across the country, delegations of farmers...had come...to the paneled offices of utility-company executives to ask to be allowed to enter the age of electricity. They came in delegations...begging the “power company” in vain to extend electricity to [their] farm; an Arkansas rural leader, “Uncle John” Hobbs, would, even years later, begin to cry remembering the day “he pleaded with the Arkansas Power & Light Company in vain to build a line to his home, a short distance from one of their lines, when his wife was ill and desperately needed the help electricity could provide.” But in delegations or alone, the answer they received was almost invariably the same: that it was too expensive—as much as $5,000 per mile, the utilities said—to build lines to individual farms; that even if the lines were built, farmers would use little electricity because they couldn’t afford to buy electrical appliances; that farmers wouldn’t even be able to pay their monthly electricity bills, since, due to low usage, farm rates would have to be higher—more than two times higher, in fact—than rates in urban areas.

> Studies had long disproved the utilities’ figures. A 1925 survey in Wisconsin found that the cost of lines would be not $5,000 but $1,225 per mile.

> the moratorium contributed to people owing more rent than they otherwise would have

the moratorium didn't contribute to owing more, because the alternative was to have those people evicted and in the streets (in the middle of a pandemic no less). unless if they could have gone to a lower-rent shelter had they been evicted, they are going to owe just as much.

This sounds correct in theory but in practice nothing you mentioned actually matters. I'll explain why.

If you hire 1 in 15 employees for significantly more salary than the other 14, it makes almost no difference for budgeting, forecasting, burn rate, etc.

If every employee costs you $250k/yr, and you have 15 employees and no other costs, your burn rate is $3.75MM/yr. If you have $25MM in the bank, you have 6.66 years of runway. If you pay a single employee $50k/yr more, then that's 6.57 years of runway. If you pay them twice as much ($500k) that's 6.25 years.

The larger the company, the easier this becomes as so few people actually negotiate higher salaries, or are important enough to warrant dramatically larger salaries, that it becomes a rounding error.

Model, projections, salary bands -- and of course rules -- were all made to be broken.
Every time an article about ivermectin for covid-19 is poste here, I try to read it and find the flaws and explain them here, because I don't like misinformation.

I think it's fair to explain the misinformation against ivermectin too. I'm worried, for example, that someone may refuse to take a antiparasitic treatment with ivermectin because s/he read that it's a drug for horses and not for humans.
To be clear, SCOTUS did not find that the government didn't have the authority. It rather explicitly stated that the C.D.C. does not, but Congress does. Which for good or ill, it declined to exercise.
That's the crazy thing about this. Rent costs higher then ever because now people are required to have more and more stringent income requirements and rental history just to get a place because of this insane risk we place on landlords. And rental inventory is mainly coming from large companies cause they can eat the cost of it but one family with a house can't.
so payID, something not all countries have today can match the speed of crypto, can't match the fees and have a huge block on 1st time transactions.

For the first, physical hues form a straight line continuum, from red to violet. The human eye samples these hues at three overlapping points (RGB) and then the visual pathway does some math to reinterpret RGB as a closed circle of hues we see in our visual field.

For the second point, while monospectral light cannot produce magenta, you don't need multiple molecules to reflect multispectral light.
I appreciate your point. I didn't at all indicate or give any sort of concrete estimate so I'm not sure how there exists an overestimate.
I never had any problems writing reliable end-to-end tests. They are super useful for catching serious subtle bugs before the system goes into production. Not having solid end-to-end tests is a massive red flag for me.

Unit tests are worthless. End-to-end tests are 100% needed. You need tests that cover all use cases end-to-end including testing error cases. That’s the absolute minimum I would expect from a well-engineered system.

Don't early exercise.

Here's why. Yes, there are potential tax advantages; you avoid having to deal with AMT, which is significant. But the tradeoff is that you've thrown away the essential advantage that an option gives you: the ability to travel back in time and purchase stock with perfect knowledge of what it will do in the future. Why on earth would you give that up? An option lets you wait years with zero risk and then decide whether you should've invested before that time went by. That is a superpower.

You might be thinking, well, I feel really bullish about this company, so I'm going to go ahead and early exercise. But here's the thing: most startups fail. It is extremely unlikely that your options will be worth anything in the future. So unless you're an unnaturally talented investor—and you aren't, you're a worker bee—you won't be able to beat those odds. And the great thing is, you don't have to—because you have options, the whole point of which is to eliminate risk.

Don't throw away your time machine.
Didn't mean to accuse or say you're wrong, but with 10m - n, and pondering if it would affect house prices, I figured in that model n would be a small number. I feel n would be a huge number and not affect house prices.

Isn't the land west of England just...Ireland?
Maybe I am missing something because I am not from the US, but why wasn't it an option to make evictions permanently impossible for precisely the rent that was due during the moratorium? Then people would have had to start paying again once the moratorium ended, and landlords would have to use other forms of debt collection on what was still owed, but without being able to evict anyone.

Also this part struck me as odd:

> The Supreme Court’s ruling creates a particular risk of eviction for families still recovering from the pandemic’s economic fallout.

In my understanding the court didn't say that a moratorium was unconstitutional, they only said that the CDC lacked that authority. So if Congress wanted to have that moratorium, they could have acted, but they didn't.
I believe in current parlance that is called "hustle."
