> Governments don't work like a household.

That's right. If a individual accumulates too much debt, then the individual can choose to discharge obligations through bankruptcy resulting in loss of credit, or death of the debtor, and ultimately the lessor is on the hook for the risk, and those two parties with agency over the debt contract are the only two who directly must suffer consequences. (yes there is tangential collateral damage, like if there are dependents, but it's not a whole lot).

If a government goes into debt, it externalizes the consequences of the spending to the public. "well, we vote for our representatives who spend". But that's not true. Suppose you were 16 (or, even more extremely: -1 years old), and couldn't vote against representatives voting for something stupid, like, say the US government invading Iraq. You are still on the hook for paying off the costs of those decisions. Sovereign debt is an end-run around the principle of "no taxation without representation", and it's in a much more morally questionable place.

Or, you can choose to reject the principle of "no taxation without representation", which if you are happy to do that explicitly and publically I will shut up.

Finally, the burden of amortizing sovereign debt is often achieved through the printing press, which in the long run causes inflation. Households usually can't do this. This disproportionately hurts the poor, so that adds onto the moral objection to sovereign debt.
> At the time it may have seemed wild, but now it has been proven to be the most effective immunity.

It's wild because immunity is useful for preventing infection (also, reducing the severity of infection). There's little point catching the thing you don't want to catch in order to prevent you catching it, because you still. suffer. the. harm. of having been infected.

There are way better options, like third doses of vaccines. Or revising the vaccines for Delta. Besides, if you want something 'like' a small dose of coronavirus, it would be far safer to attenuate the coronavirus first. Then you just have a classic vaccine.
Proof of work is like a regressive tax or the advantage of being born rich. It's not something available to the poor.

The differences are very known, it's just still an open problem how to address running code for a stronger memory model on systems with a weaker one at as high as possible performance performance without explicit hardware support (like Apple's choice of a TSO config bit). Your compiled binary for TSO has erased any LoadLoad, LoadStore, and StoreStore barriers, and the emulator has to divine them. The heuristics there are still fraught with peril.

The JVM absolutely did some great work walking this path, both in defining a memory model in the first place, and supporting that model on weak and strong hardware memory models, but the JMM was specifically designed to be able to run cleanly on WMO platforms to begin with (early Sparc), so they don't face a lot of the same problems discussed here.
How about nonprofit publishers?
Even if they could assess those risks, how confident are we that the government wouldn't err far too much on the side of risk aversion? Bureaucrats and politicians would see no upside in allowing a medium-risk high-reward venture to go ahead, since the outcome is binary for them - get the same salary regardless or get fired if something goes wrong.

I think the idea is terrible. You want laws to be prescribed and debated, not allow some administrators to make shit up on the spot.
Hello everyone, author here. I wrote this post after wondering why Oracle is such a ubiquitous name, but almost no developers I've worked with have ever used it. After some research and conversations with a former employee, it turns out that the story is really interesting: Oracle was basically the first company to commercialize a RDBMS. And today they have what might be the fastest, most performant database at scale – if you're willing to pay for it.
"Chromo" and "zyme" are both Greek rather than Latin, though.
TSO is a per-thread flag; it’s implemented as a write to a MSR on context switch to switch it on or off.

Some people die despite being vaccinated. And you can't tell ahead of time which ones (generally the very sick, but not always).
That is a fantastic question. We are still vaccinating & boosting against the original variant. Would "the experts" please demonstrate that vaccines against variants are effective, given that original antigenic sin is a long known and well documented phenomenon?

Why do you prefer an HTTP API versus a DB connection? Isn't the former going to inherently have the overhead cost of creating the connection + TLS handshakes?

I think Trillian was even older, and I think there were some KDE apps that did it even before that...
Yes it is outside the scope of this study. It looked at behavior of the variant in a test tube. The results suggest that the question you raise is a natural next line of inquiry. But it won't likely be performed by this group, they are test tube researchers, that question is answered by number crunchers.

Another shameful footnote in the war on drugs.

Putting what we choose into our own body is a basic human right. Mutually consentual exchanges of goods or services is a basic human right. All victims of these actions are victims of human rights abuses. Part of the global awakening is recognizing this, and rejecting the so-called government's authority to imprison people participating in voluntary exchanges.

If we are concerned about the nature of the goods or services being exchanged, we need to remember that our right to impose on others' freedom comes about only when they engage in direct violence.
> How does viral outcompetion work?

Basically one spreads faster than the other so after a few iterations almost all of new cases are the new variant.

> How would Delta prevent A.30 from thriving?

Directly by driving up immunity, indirectly by coercing people to take steps to slow the spread of delta, which also slows the spread of a.30. Things like vaccination, social distancing, mask wearing etc...

> Why won't we become infected by Delta and A.30?

Because Delta probably give you significantly more immunity than a vaccine. Specifically infection gives both more robust and stronger immunity than the vaccines.
The takeaway is that a large community of volunteer can be beaten by a single full-time software engineer.
This is a really strong argument. At the end of the day I think it is possible (with iteration) to get the level of abstraction correct for something approaching some semblance of the universality you refer to.

I really just want a framework that allows me to:

1) Run locally like Next.js's "npm run dev"

2) Do end-to-end unit tests because the framework provides the abstraction layer

3) Deploy to the cloud via push to Github and have it run exactly the same as (1), but do it at scale (deploy to serverless functions, use actual SQS Queues, Eventbridge, etc.)

Of course the core would a developer experience like Vercel, Stripe, etc.

Based on tax filings other users have posted on reddit, they are a profitable company, now their level of profitability is probably not enough to satisfy the venture capital they took though.

The issue here, with niche products you must interact with the community, you must listen to the users, you must have a good communications team to show the users what is commming, what your plans are, etc..

Remarkable does none of that, they act like they are apple, but they neither have the marketshare, the deep pockets, nor the cache that Apple does.

Hell I would be more than happy to donate cash to fund features but they do not even have a public roadmap, or uservoice, or any indicate they give a shit at all about what their users want.

hell one of the most basic features, 3 years running, has been custom templates. Which are literally just a PNG file background layer. No official support but several 3rd parties have filled this gap very well.

Remarkable is remarkably bad at customer service, and communications. Which is more likely to be their downfall than the subscription service. Niche product live and die by their community, remarkable ignores the owner community

I played with this and it is super interesting (almost made me register a couple domain names!) That said, to me, it once again reinforces the belief that a large factor in GPT-3 amazingness is the taste in prompting/filtering that humans apply to it, that is, it produces a ton of crap that does not catch our eye that we just silently ignore and discard, but we will amplify and share amongst ourselves the output that is interesting, which imputes a huge selection bias external to the intelligence of the model itself that we may perceive as the model's.

No. The corruption is one of many symptoms of the problem, which is the fact that the electoral system is poorly designed for responsiveness and accountability, since it is structured so as to reinforce duopoly which incentivizes lesser-of-two-weasels voting.
> other dietary habits that are not currently taxed as 'sins' have a long-term medical cost - e.g. diabetes and heart disease.

I have expressed this in another comment, but unhealthy foods are taxed here as well. Things like fruits and vegetables are not. However even with the taxes processed foods still end up being more cost effective. But I think that is a separate problem of its own.

I am not necessarily sure the argument that they have a shorter lifespan is a good one. Like sure someone may use more if they live 20 years longer, but if you compare two 60 years olds where one is healthy and the other is a heavy smoker it's almost guaranteed that the heavy smoker has costed society a lot more. Is it far to compare that same 60 year old smoker who just died to a 90 year old? That 90 year old got 30 more years of life. Sure they may have ended up costing more in healthcare in those 90 years, but they also alive 30 more years. To me that seems like a positive thing to strive for.

The patent is expired now, but they can still sue for infringement that occurred during the life of the patent. In fact, this is how it goes for many patents given the lifecycle.
On the contrary, this patent could now be useless even if it doesn't get invalidated:

It's expired for future use, and according to Sparkfun's response it can't be asserted against prior infringers because Huawei owned it and shipped devices without marking the patent on them.

This is not true. Printing money may or may not cause inflation. And inflation may or may not benefit debtors at the expense of creditors. Unexpected inflation usually does. Expected inflation usually doesn't.
I suppose you could use archimedes principle in its original form to verify density of gold, sure, but I think GP was referring to transportability. If anything it's to do with #1. But calling it "unusual" makes it seem like it's just a human whim and human subjective standards of desire that make it valuable, where it's very important to be explicit that there is an intrinsic property of gold that gives it subjective utility beyond mere preferences.
To me, a footgun isn't necessarily something that is hard to understand, but also something that's easy to misuse even if you understand it.

yes to all. the early days of biochemistry were heavily dependent on x-ray crystallography, meaning the subject structure was in crystalline form, meaning there was a bias toward understanding of structures that facilitated crystalization. sequencing and structural studies[folding] were slow tedious wetlab efforts until mid 90s when computing power was of caliber, and shared across the internet, we now have such computation cheaper smaller, and locally.

Sure, it's hard to test things in real world conditions, but that doesn't mean we should over extrapolate from in vitro findings. In particular, infecting cells easier in a lab doesn't mean the virus spreads from person to person easier.

Besides, the fact this variant hasn't spread much is telling in and of itself! Maybe we got 'lucky'. But maybe it just isn't that contagious, compared to Delta.

Neat project. If the data belongs to only that user it works pretty well. I run into trouble with sharing across users on a team and individual user sharing. In that case, I see most solutions use express as middleware for the couchdb connection.

> Can you elaborate on how many?

For web, I can have as many as I want syncing. I haven’t stress tested it yet tho. I have a CouchDB in prod that throws an error message about connection limit a few times a day. This one writes and reads. It restarts the docker container to recover since I haven’t had time to investigate. You may have given me the answer :)

On React Native, I’ve had odd behavior around 5 connections. That’s where I need to periodically poll for syncing. It works out best since the user is offline most of the time and downloads infrequently.
I grew up in a very rural, conservative small town and still talk to many people there.

They loved the $1500 checks in their accounts. They see rising cost of housing and several have suggested government subsidies for homes or a massive government program to build more houses.

I agree people want purpose, but I don't think rural conservatives are actually against government programs or subsidies, as long as it benefits them and is not presented from the perspective of modern culture war and media. They don't like "handouts" but they DO like roads, water, electricity, farm insurance, military bases, post offices, etc.

Is it high compared meaning they are making a huge profit or that people can't afford it? If it really does that cost much then subsidies are possible.

I believe German reparations were shielded/unaffected from inflation. The allies were smarter then that. Germany did get a pause in reparations payments when hyperinflation drove their economy to possible collapse which led to reparations being paused then cancelled. They paid 16% of the reparations agreed to. Then after WW2 they agreed to pay half of the rest.

German hyperinflation was useful for getting rid of internal debts that the government of Germany had borrowed from it's citizens during the war. It also led to collapse of pensions
