> To see how measures against COVID affect deaths you need to look how rates change during the pandemic because measures taken changed over time.

The problem with this is that you're assuming the rates changed primarily or exclusively because measures changed (if they even did).

There are bigger factors you're not considering. Take, for example, New York. It was one of the first epicenters of the pandemic in the US. Large numbers of people got infected early on, and decisions were made that actually contributed to the spread of the virus in some of the highest risk groups. As a result, lots of people got natural immunity or died in New York in the first waves, so there were fewer people to infect in the later waves.

Anyway, the data has clearly established that in terms of the risk of any individual anywhere dying from COVID if they become infected, age, weight and metabolic comorbidities (namely diabetes) are the primary factors.

You've been arguing that if you live somewhere where your risk of being infected in the first place is reduced by restrictions/preventative measures, that's a bigger factor. That's totally irrelevant to the discussion of individual risk when infected.
No new race conditions are expected as this work replaces Gil with finer grained performant locks. It still lowers performance of single threaded code some vs no Gil (about 10 percent) but 10 percent drop in single threaded performance is worth considering for multi threading.

The race conditions a Gil program and a no Gil program should have should be same. A Gil is not the only way to keep certain operations safe.
1/ "Not industry ready" while (AFAIK) being researched for at least 4 decades is a real problem

2/ Superphenix had numerous non-'political' problems/challenges, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix

3/ Fukushima (not the max-case: half of the reactors weren't running at the time of the accident, not built in a densely-populated area...) will costs billions to cleanup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_disaster_cleanup#Cos...

4/ This is either justified, or not. If it is, as we probably both think it is(?), this adds complexity (delays and costs), calling for margins (delays, costs), even w/o knowing the requirements in advance. Every EPR project (in France, Finland or China) largely blowed-up both its schedule and budget.

Sounds great, so what brand and model are you using now?
Yes, and I really really hate dense places like Paris and Netherlands. Fun to visit but can't stand living there. I want my yard, and my individual walls, and my quiet neighborhood. I'm pretty much fine driving and don't care much about parking lots. I don't have kids so thats not really a factor, I remember going to parks all the time when I was small for this reason.
On the PIC32, fixed add is ~2 cycles and floating point is is ~60. And about a 2x increase for multiplies. On architectures with floating point hardware some of the advantage is lost, but it's fantastic for DSP on microcontrollers.
Also, a huge percentage of industrial emissions is due to fossil fuels being used for direct heating (e.g. natural gas used to fire a boiler or furnace). These loads can be electrified, they must be electrified, but electrifying them will take an unbelievable amount of power even compared to what we produce today.

Our grid will probably need to produce 3-4x what it currently does to get us electrified fully. A rapid paced plan to build a standard reactor design en masse is the only reasonable way to do that in a short period of time.

If that's working for this person, and they're happy, more power to them.

I note only <50 of those hours are for their "day job". The issue I have is not with people doing what they want with their time - it's with companies setting unreasonable expectations for employees and forcing them to work hours that are unfair.

See Proposition 6 on pg. 1600. The argument is purely economic and based on a simplified (but first-order reasonable) model of liquidity provisioning and price action. Price-priority uniform clearing price batch auctions (with or without randomized call times) transform competition over speed into competition over price.

Technical/practitioner notes:

1. Gaming is a bit of an overloaded term, and in this context, implies that agents are doing something wrong. Mechanism design assumes that agents will respond rationally and strategically to the mechanism they're presented with, so whatever happens is on the designer. Ideally, the mechanism chosen will result in an individual response that collectively optimize the designer's objective function, e.g., maximizing social welfare or the auctioneer revenues. Suppose the mechanism chosen isn't the "best" one for a specific set of agents & goods. In that case, agents might have individually rational behaviors that result in sub-optimal outcomes relative to what was achievable with another mechanism.

2. Prop 6 isn't entirely predicated on having a random call time (there will be competition over price as long as there are two "fast" types in the market). However, randomizing auction call times is still practically speaking useful.
While it would be nice to have the language be able to do it, the fact that you can't today leads to some tidy separation of concerns for parallelization. For instance, many people I've talked to use things like Spark or dask to get high scale on data processing tasks. That means that all of the management of distributed jobs is handled through an easily googleable framework that your ops team can manage, as opposed to needing to build all of that yourself.

I see this as being a nice stopgap solution for those who are too big for single-threaded but not big enough to need Spark.

Budish et al. start with the statement that "The high-frequency trading arms race is a symptom of flawed market design" and present a mechanism that mostly addresses a specific feature of the current market structure. In 2021, most folks on all sides of the table (liquidity providers, executing brokers, financial institutions) agree that the arms race is individually and collectively value-destroying. They don't claim that it's the "best mechanism" for capital markets. And every mechanism is a set of tradeoffs, so no one should ever really make that claim. At OneChronos (YC S16) [1], we view the arms race as something that's very much worth solving for, but a tiny piece of a much bigger opportunity to make markets function better for all players.

I'm not form the US and also not a lawyer but I've heard that this goes even to the point that someone using a public communications network has no legal expectation of privacy in the US.

The lack of data-privacy regulations is likely rooted in the fact that the US never had an experience like the EU with the Nazis who literally killed on behalf of data.

Sure, the US famously "kills people based on matadata"¹, but not US people so most US people don't care.

But I've also heard that some people in the US start to recognize the value of data-privacy regulations. That's positive to note.

Show HN: I built a sonar into my surfboard
There was a book called “Calculus the EZ way” https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S38C1299093 that I discovered in the summer before Uni. It was so much fun to read I learned it again just for the sheer pleasure of it. Even though they used medieval characters in a magical kingdom to explain calculus that was not the innovation there. The real thing was that they explained the problems they encountered with existing methods before they introduced a new method.

That was novel. That is how research is done…you start with a problem and figure out a way forward.

That is not how textbooks are written. It’s like, why waste our valuable paper to print the wrong way to do something even if it helps people learn? They only print the right way to do it. The student loses the ability to participate in the discovery process and just becomes a dumb initiate who is forced to believe whatever is written down. It’s more like a degenerate religion you’re forced to memorize without the inspiring examples of all the saints and martyrs who showed others the way before you.
Sure but you have to get enough organized labor. This is a niche topic and I'm guessing the other 99% of netflix don't care enough about it to get fired. Organized labor generally appeared because of universal bad working conditions, pay, voice in governance, etc. Not really because of less popular items like LGBQ concerns about a comedian's opinions.

Pretty sure the Netflix would rather be rid of those who have totalitarian tendencies than to be rid Chappelle, given that their mission as an entertainment company is undermined by this type of censorship.

There's a long line of people who can provide the same labor to Netflix without the hysteria, so a parting of ways would be a pareto improving outcome.

> Unfortunately using a single db/RPC connection for many active threads is not done in any multithreaded system I’m aware of for good reasons. Sharing this type of resource across threads is not safe without expensive and performance-destroying mutexes

lol, you're so deep into python stockholm-syndrome "don't share anything between threads because we don't support that at all even a little bit" that you don't even realize that connection pools exist. Instead of holding a connection open per process, you can have one connection pool with 30 connections that services 200 threads (exact ratio depends on how many are actually using connections, of course). literally everybody "shares a single DB/RPC connection across multiple threads" (or at least shares a number of connections across a number of threads), except python.

and yeah you can turn that into yet another standalone service that you gotta deliver in your docker-compose setup, but everybody else just builds that into the application itself.

> A beautiful advice …

Oh my goodness! So there are actual people who prefer that? I had to chew my way a fair share of books like that and I can’t stand them. Clearly the person who thought of these definitons, propositions and proofs had some reason to think of them. Sometimes they were trying to solve a problem, sometimes they were combining ideas, sometimes they were looking for structures with certain aesthetic properties. There was always a why behind why they thought about this and not something else. Sometimes there are multiple possible such reasons, that is fine. In that case the author can select whichever they fancy the most. Every time i had the misfortune to read a book like what you describe it felt like I was eating powdered milk without reconstituting it. There was a clear chain of thought between ideas and they choose to just hide it.

I understand that math requires work. One needs to get a paper and a pencil and work out examples, check proofs, play with definitions. But why wouldn’t the author write down what made them care about the next item?

> it is helpful to keep this as an aim.

> But solving the electricity problem is just solving one part (~25%) of the equation. There is still a lot of greenhouse gasses being released from cars, construction (concrete), farming and various industrial processes. But the electricity seems to be the easiest problem to solve and once we have that on track to being fixed we can move more resources into the other issues.

With the exception of concrete and farming, the answer to the rest of these is "produce a shit load of power cheaply". A lot of industrial uses of fossil fuels are merely using them to heat something directly, like a boiler or a furnace. These kinds of work loads can be electrified, but the demand on our grid will go up massively.

Ditto with transit. We can make EVs now that are superior to ICE vehicles for 98-99% of use cases. We can make electrified rail transit a reality again if we want to. The issue is that we currently don't make enough electricity to meet current demands, industrial demands, and transit demands. We need a lot of electricity to do that, and we're currently nowhere close.

FPGAs let you define the structure of the hardware, and implementing fixed point is a lot simpler in terms of logic gages used and usually higher performance. You absolutely could use floating point, but the HW cost would be high, so most folks convert to fixed and use that. Then the question becomes how many bits, as you can have arbitrary width fixed point, so must choose at the design time depending on the application requirements.

The reason to interview a lot of companies at once is because of the competing offers. The candidate would have a huge raise by doing so. Certain companies would give out minimum offers most of the time unless they see the competing offers now, like Google/Microsoft.

Honest question, why not?

Its not like that's something that will scale infinitely, you only have so many devs and so many repos to work on, also it's not like it's hard to backup the data, actually, you can bet that you will have a updated copy of every repo on someone's machine if things really go south.

What I need is some way to deal with my 6 month old release branches that are completely incompatible with the current develop branch.

When I make a fix on the 6 month old branch, I have to manually cherry pick it to the current release and develop branch, and by cherry picking I lose all association between those three commits now ostensibly containing the same changes (though not really, because conflict resolution makes all of them different).

There must be a better way.

Would "hiring" someone over Upwork or Toptal solve that problem since they would take care of the legal aspects?
I would argue this is about workers.

Rightly or wrongly, they seem to think netflix did something morally wrong (i haven't watched the show in question, so not making any judgements on validity). People who work for "bad" companies are often seen as "bad", so it does affect the employees.

More to the point, isn't the important bit that employees are angry and in agreement, not what they are angry about? It seems pretty dystopian to me to say only some grievences are legit.

Anyways, there's also other examples of historical strikes over moral issues. Googling found me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Longshoremen%27s...

That's essentially the same way the Prime Minister of the UK is selected. Was the Parliament of Iran not elected at that time?

(It is elected now, but candidates must be approved by the Guardian Council, which is appointed by the Supreme Leader, so it's not really democratic now.)
