If Airbus is successful, you'd have to compare SpaceX's scale to a similarly massive manufacturing operation of solar-powered aircraft. And you could theoretically make money from multiple sources since the aircraft could carry multiple pieces of equipment. You could make money from being an ISP and from selling imaging services.
Well, the generic version is pretty affordable:

> low risk saving accounts

No, the interest rates for retail savings accounts are zero (or near as makes no difference), and have been for at least two decades. Basically everybody knows that they are completely useless by now, and that even "regular" people need to move to bonds or stocks in order to see any kind of return.
On top of that, forget that social security part stops at ~$120K-ish. I realize that you are supposed to get a lot of it back, but can you guarantee 100% that will be the case to an 18 year old right now. More than that, it doesn’t exactly fit in with the system that a safety net for when you’re 60+ is forced upon people via taxes that stop mid way through the top 5%+ income amt. it is almost farcical
> So while AWS has 17 ways to run containers and 7 ways to do async message processing, all overlapping and reinforcing and supporting each other, Cloudflare will tend toward introducing singular primitives, stuff them in a box, and try to ship those boxes to as many places as will possibly take them. If they could install Cloudflare on your mobile phone, they would (this gets them dangerously close to being a real life Pied Piper).

I think this statement resonates with me the most - it feels a lot like how I prefer to design systems (ahem, thanks Unix!): simple pieces or types, chained together into systems that are easy to understand, maintain, and scale.

We're still only using Cloudflare's workers and it's integration with caching, but it's getting close to the point where I'd have enough primitives to ship some of the functionality of our system architecture to Cloudflare and gain a net-win for latency and simplicity.
It can. Check out "zero shot learning" -> both sentences would be part of a single "evaluation", and the first sentence would prime for the output of the second. (You basically combine multiple "evaluations" into one, and context is held in tensors / blobs)

I don't have good sources handy right now, but from the research I've read, it seems mostly like (on a multi-decade scale) the poorest have gotten moderately richer, the middle classes has stagnated at best, the upper-middle class has gotten moderately richer, and the richest have gotten much much richer.
> Why specify what specific tax it is?

Because the majority (50%) of the money spent by the US Federal government is mainly from federal income tax.

There are so many, but a key one is that reducing the distance between what you created, and the people for whom you created it, really does pay off: more adoption, more feedback, more clarity on what's going on. Call it product-led growth, call it removing friction, or whatever else. If you're interested on that concept, here are some more thoughts: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/less-friction-key-massimo-arr...
One thing that is absent from today’s technoculture but was pervasive in the 1990s is the fact that the use of any feature that might have required an intermediate/advanced level of technical knowledge seemed subversive. Also, the feeling that big institutions seemed obtuse and unaware of advancements in technology. You want to what on an airplane? What’s a network?

Now, it’s normalized and might be perceived mildly annoying at worst (ie asking someone to AirDrop a photo for better quality versus them messaging a quality-reduced photo to you).
It's not just drugs either.

If I was uninsured in the US for whatever reason and needed elective surgery for something with a short enough recovery period, I'd look up UK hospitals.

They're often similarly cheap enough to justify a flight and a hotel stay. Especially as many of them leverage excess capacity at NHS Trusts (some are even operated by NHS Trusts, as the trusts are allowed to offer private services within certain constraints)

Most of the big insurers operate in multiple states. But operation in each state is regulated by that state, and I've heard, but not verified, that most ACA plans offer in-state coverage only, with some exceptions for communities at state borders (if you live near Lake Tahoe, an ACA plan probably covers doctors in the area in NV and CA)

Shopping for plans on the marketplace is already terrible when they all cover the same stuff. It'll be way worse if I have to decide between terrible options for what's covered. Especially since we all know none of that is going to be clear or easily comparable, and certainly not pick the things you want covered.... It'll be like broken bones are in the package that excludes cysts, and brain cancer coverage is not available with any other cancers, and to get coverage for any sort of dermatology, you also need coverage for skiing and parachuting incidents.

As-is, I can take my list of prefered facilities, look and see who has them in network, and then add the premiums to the out of pocket max to find my rough worst case cost and pick the one with the least worst case cost and call it a day. This is usually also the one with the least premiums, so it's also the least cost if I don't visit the doctor at all.
It will definitely reflect what you see this year, and probably a few years to come. It hasn't gone away, international travel is not the same (changing who is available to work due to reduced emigration), supply chain disruptions and reconfigurations continue. The workforce has changed, too, wealth inequality is now on the forefront of many people's minds, remote work is more prevalent than ever, and it has changed how people are engaging with work.

I recently discover that my Canon printed does the same. It's very annoying. I've not got so much of a problem with the cheap printer / expensive ink model. I think most people are aware of this. However, disabling an entirely unrelated feature is something else.
Especially since they are, literally, taxes.

I would probably even go so far as to call insurance a tax as well since I am legally required to pay it. I may have my choice what company administers my policy but they're effectively private arms of the government.

It depends on what you mean by "commercial video game". In this context it means a coin-op video game. What Ralph Baer created was something different (and arguably more future-thinking) -- the first home video game console.

There is incredible breadth to discover once you go 1 level deep into something. Every technique worth specializing in will have a multitude of entries/setups, then you need to know how people defend/counter and how to counter that, there could be slight variants that work better against different body types etc ... really staggering amounts of breadth/depth involved in putting someone on their back.

There will also be some breadth provided by general meta concerns of each combat sport like grip/hand fighting, defense, strategy, conditioning etc ...

So even the people who are hyper-specialized still have to know loads of stuff.

If the Universe is cyclic and recreated again and again and has the same outcome(and appparently has no beginning and end), simulation hypothesis have problems to explain why things that follow exactly the same tracks again and again can't be part of Universe as natural mechanism observable by enough developed brains and why there is such necessity for someone to create something that is natural. It also concentrates on humans, but there is nothing that prevents animals - at least for mammals to "remember or guess future". Or even things to "remember" their place, that humans can observe.
Anecdotally, but some of the issues, that are discussed in regards human behaviour, were already present in old folk tales, that discuss exactly the same issues, that simulation hypothesis have about human behavior, as in those old folk tales it was claimed that humans initially knew their fate and behaved accordingly without any regards for others when their end came, so they were robbed of that full understanding of what is their fate.

Who do you expect to provide competition to Amazon/Google/Microsoft for egress pricing if not smaller company who is a "leading CDN provider" ?

Your comment seems to be justifying why Cloudflare is ideally suited to provide competition against the big 3 cloud providers with its R2 offering ...
First I'm willing to bet that they made 100% sure they can sign a tx out of that new address. Even if the address is seen for the first time on a public ledger, they may very well have tested first that the HSM allowing to sign a tx for that address was working on a private, offline, chain.

Then the transaction itself to move those 6 bn has probably been prepared offline, on a fully airgapped computer, signed with a HSM and then later one broadcasted (once it's been carefully inspected).

The amount is 6 billions: I think that the precautions taken here are beyond many's imagination.
You are right. I think as long one doesn't run the risk of getting bankrupted by medical problems, it's already a "good enough" system.
They're included, which makes the headline (and article itself) mostly meaningless. Yeah, I have >$1million in the market, but it's almost all via funds in my 401k. I'm not actively voting on any of the companies and I largely don't even know which companies I hold.

It would be more interesting to know what % of the market the top-1% hold.

Christianity gave no one customs and held little together. Europe has its own customs before Christianity that served as glue just as well, and the morality brought forth by christianity was so tenuous that you could make a good argument that it is even weaker than we have now.

If you want to see what religion being used to hold a society together looks like, look at the Middle East. The Middle Eastern religious elites are far more decadent than your tirade would predict, and society at large is not much better.

For all of your Wikipedia-summary characterization of Marx, he made almost the same argument as you have in substance, but far better, over 150 years ago when he wrote of alienation of labour and of the revolutionary aspect of capitalism.

Unlike you he actually did diagnose the central issue with "decadence" to the right source. Morality historically as well as societal norms were held up by the community, and the community was held up by its interdependence and shared experience. Marx foresaw that capitalism morphing these relations of interdependence into market relations, such as that the actual people that you rely on through shared labour are no longer apparent, and instead only money and products remain. This weakens the first social basis of community. Then, he saw capitalism as a mode of production, being entirely dependent on market relations as we saw earlier, as materially unshackled by the morality and structure of its host society. This is by contrast to feudalism that relied on these relations to perpetuate itself. From that he found capitalism to be revolutionary - it would continuously remake society after itself and in the process progressively destroy cultural norms of the society, thus being a revolutionary process. Sometimes it does so positively, sometimes negatively.

That is why Marx is said to be a materialist - instead of predicting the changes in society purely because of ideas and abstract concepts, he thought that the actual material limits on society would eventually come to dominate the ideas that people have and mold them moreso than the reverse. He wasn't a materialist in the sense that he thought that literally nothing except stuff mattered, much to the contrary, the stuff matters only because of its effect on people.

Now with this perspective in mine, if you re-read the statement, it should make even more sense.
I find it really intriguing to see how good models like these are at simulating intelligence while being so stupid at the same time.

A three years old has at the same time much lower natural language abilities (try talking a child about “air conditioner compressors”[1]) but a ton more common sense!

We discuss this a bit in Section D.2 (HOW UNSEEN ARE THE HELD-OUT TASKS?). From our perspective,

a) The tasks we test on are very different, particularly tasks like BIG-Bench that we didn't even have access to until several days ago (and none of us read).

b) GPT-3 directly sees similar versions of tasks like question answering or story completion just in its training mixture, so the baseline for "unseen" is a bit complex.
That's disappointing. They have some great systems. I hope they come through it OK.

Yes but try running a couple of servers with a decent amount of ram say 4GB and we’d notice how the cost goes exponential.

Point being running a couple of servers with a decent ram and a decent amount of storage shouldn’t cost 50$. It should be say, 7$. I know the ask is too much. Just want to see if there’d be any fundamental tech breakthrough to make something like this happen.
Shareholder power is diffuse, a lot like voting for your congressman is. If you hold over 50% of the vote there are more tools available but then your getting lawyers involved. Sometimes corporations are organized in such a way that even 50% doesn't give you effective direct control without very unpleasant side effects (e.g. poison pills).

Do you have a source for either of these claims? I can’t seem to find a clear one, especially for the latter claim.
Agreed, completely - I practiced chinese styles, which are far more about lifetime effectiveness and basic defense. It definitely changes the math of how much you can "master" when looking at it as a lifetime practice. It also changes the definition of what it means to "win", because our definition was that you were still strong with working joints in old age.
Several states (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming) don't pay any state tax. I'm sure you could make a statement like "85% of US residents don't pay state tax" that would be true but also be incredibly misleading.

For Marx, alienation had a specific, technical definition, meaning alienation from one’s labor. In The German Ideology, Marx expounds a totally materialistic anthropology, wherein man is material which creates itself through labor, and as such, human history is the history of material. Within this anthropology, alienation does not retain the common meaning, and Marx indeed stopped referring to it in his “mature” work (see Althusser).

“Stomach with legs” is maybe a bit vulgar, but only a bit. It is incredibly difficult to overstate Marx’s materialism.
How about "X% of people paid no tax" which is really the meaning of this.

Here's a page which talks about the effective tax rates of, as far as I can tell, all taxes people in the USA pay:

If it was that risky, they wouldn’t have these assets. People have investments because they understand cash alone won’t grow. Someone like Jeff Bezos has most of his wealth in Amazon stock partly because he perceives Amazon stock as better than cash. (Which is a very good analysis. Even a huge crash in stock value would still outperform cash by a huge margin over time.)

If these assets were very risky or likely to cause a portfolio to never grow, the rich would absolutely not be utilizing them as much.

True, but manyservices that Americans get from government comes from state and local government: schools, fire/police, etc. The feds dominate the national new coverage, but local government generally has a much larger affect on your day to day life.
Medicare isn't really a socialized healthcare system. Most of the providers aren't government employees, and some providers don't accept Medicare patients because the reimbursement rates are low. Many beneficiaries actually obtain their plans through private insurers with the Medicare Advantage program.
