In 1919, one did not need a car to live, especially in London (true even in 2021). It was a luxury item. The lifestyle improvement of owning a car in London in 1919 was probably marginal except for social status. On the other hand, having a maid and nanny would dramatically improve your life, especially before inventions of washing machines.

It is analogous to living in places like Singapore or Hong Kong, where owning a car is less common than having a domestic worker.
Even before covid, I would always wear a mask if I had a flu and would try as much as possible not to go to shops or pick up anything. A lot of people I know do the same.
A motivated publisher could embed codes by altering in subtle ways the differences in distances or color between adjacent characters, so that they would survive most color or grey scale conversions; a seemingly innocuous frame drawn around a photo could be either larger or smaller by say one millimeter, representing de facto a bit, therefore using enough pages they could identify a book among billions.
Unfortunately there's no way to be 100% sure that a complex document doesn't contain some form of embedded code.
I suspect that almost any sweeping statement that Oracle doesn't support some feature or other is wrong in the current day.

Oracle can certainly handle columnar formatted data. The in-memory columnar format is just what it says, HCC provides columnar compression and Exadata has done columnar data access forever.

I know little about Oracle specifically, but I do know that it is a huge beast with all kinds of feature that make generalization difficult.
The positive effects of psychedelics are exaggerated and is similar to using a blowtorch to remove weeds from your front lawn. Additionally set and setting are important, you'll get the most out of them when you're in a position to not need them and are just exploring life. Having expectations about what they may do will make it easier to fall into a negative spiral.

The studied therapeutic use of psychedelics always requires a therapist to help someone in a positive way. Generally recommending to take drugs recklessly in the way you have is irresponsible. If it's someone's first time and they go in blind without without a guide, it's reckless.

Additionally, going to a therapist will also help you see things differently. Drugs aren't required.

This is exactly what I had in mind, thanks for asking.

Are those tribes who are still living a secluded life in the forests of Amazon or say even those who are completely isolated like in Indian ocean islands considered poor? They've had everything they need and unless there's no external interference(Humans, Weather events e.g. Tsunami) they're living a successful life.

Also I have serious issues with the term 'Civilization', I don't know how tribes who have been co-existing with nature successfully for thousands of years could be called uncivilized where as we who have set in motion the likely destruction of vast majority of the species on the planet considered civilized?

I feel that mentality is a relic of colonial mindset, There are vast amount of written accounts of colonists calling the indigenous people 'Uncivilized'.

A number that provably contains all finite bit patterns is

X = . 1 10 11 100 101 110 111 0000 0001 ...

(the binary version of Champernowne's constant [1])
but the index at which any pattern occurs takes more bits to write than that pattern itself, and the same would hold (on average) for patterns in pi, assuming it actually is normal.

PLoS biology charges $5300 per article. PLoS was explicitly set up to provide a non-profit, open access alternative to commercial publishers - and it just about breaks even.

Well, yes you do, because the spreadsheets make it easier for the regulators to add more regulation.

Think: there used to be a theoretical limit to how much regulation could exist, because the regs had to be known by a person (otherwise how are they enforced?).

Now we have regtech. A whole industry built on automating compliance.

How long before each individual needs a regtech software program (or two!) just to function in society? I'm not talking about tax filing, that's just the start.

How is this even a little bit similar to “niggardly”?
Well, the old internet was much about communities and enthusiasm. And these communities were diverse. It was feasible to operate your own blog server, where original content was published.

You either knew your communities through hear-say or search engines (read "The" search engine) found them. For a long time advertisement or the "attention economy" was not a thing.

Nowadays original content is hard to find and very much concentrated: Reddit, Stackoverflow. As search engines no longer seem to find relevant content from sites which do not pay add fees, there is no traffic to these sites.

In a sense money made the internet thrive and ruined a lot at the same time.
So why do it like this instead of simply having PAM add a group (or not) depending on ash service one is logging into, and making authorization decision based on that group?
The idea that people will better learn from spending several weeks doing something useless (i.e. unnecessary design) instead of having that headed off at the pass is silly, when the specific thing they should be learning is to _not spend several weeks working on something without feedback_.
> Legacy systems have legacy dependencies, and run in legacy environments.

In my experience, a sort of opposite of this sentence tends to be true.

Modern systems have too many dependencies, most of the time needlessly so, but still required. I recently used a Python package that required a specific version of the pandas behemoth to run, but it was only used to parse a date. Absolutely ridiculous.

On the other hand, the 40-year old Fortran code that everybody uses to compute special functions compiles and runs OK in a modern computer, and is completely standalone with 0 dependencies apart from the compiler.
Houses are a great analogy, especially when it comes to my argument about pointless abstractions.

A house where the floorplan is decided before the needs of the tenants are even clear, will likely have to be reshaped later. The same happens in overarchitectured codebases, eg. a dependency injection for some subsystem set up which will never have more than one type to depend on, making the code less obvious, less readable, and harder to maintain.
The natural ressources to maintain the cost of living in a rich country like mine (denmark) is so high, that it is impossible to imagine all the people in the world maintaining a similar living standard. Im talking not only the glass in my windows, but my energyconsumption, my use of fridges, phones, tvs and so on, all of which costs not only the ressources it costs to manufacture them, but also the entire system built up around it to maintain it. From shipping and transport to cheap labor in a 3rd world country.

If all the people of india and china were to maintain a similar way of life as mine, the eco system would collapse right away.

assuming you like your line of work, here are few things that have worked for me

1) hand off your current tasks to someone else and take theirs
2) help out with other things (depends on your employer). if you are a programmer try helping QA, write documentation, help marketing, etc.
3) try breaking up work into very small chunks. Do a chunk and reward yourself

I started using Everclear as a kitchen disinfectant when Covid started. It's 190 proof, kills germs, and it's non-toxic (in small amounts) so you can use it on food surfaces like cutting boards. A big bottle is surprisingly affordable in the US and after 2 years I still have half a bottle left.

Downsides: It's flammable and you wouldn't want it accessible with kids around.

OK... so don't call someone who bills you for their time and make smalltalk. That seems pretty self-evident.

If I start a meeting with a consulting software engineer and spend the first 5 minutes making small talk, that's fine, but my company is gonna pay for that time. The same thing is true for lawyers.
It's not just specific goods; technology and automation reduces the cost of almost everything in the consumer price index, from food to transportation to energy (although probably not shelter). I think if you search for "technology deflationary" you'll get lots of views on this, but not many in opposition to it.

That said, deflation only ends up happening in specific goods categories like TVs and computers, which are at a particularly sharp point in the technology curve, such that they deflate even faster than average. That's again because the average CPI growth is governed by a feedback loop, where the central bank adjusts interest rates to target 2% inflation, so as, say, food gets cheaper to produce, monetary stimulus is gradually added to the system to combat the falling costs and encourage more consumption. This is done to avoid the kind of deflationary cycle that you're talking about. (Central banks want to avoid deflation so that debts don't become onerous to repay, which can create a depression).

But the result is that while technology is deflationary, it does not create deflation, because that's maintained by a feedback loop; instead it manifests in gradually declining interest rates (and thus increasing valuations and real estate prices, as I mentioned).

That's what it's like to be in a feedback loop. Your computer may act as a heat source for your home but as long as the thermostat is maintaining temperature at a setpoint, the computer won't change that average temperature -- heat it produces will be offset by reduced furnace activity.

(Of course there are also long-term structurally inflationary forces as well. Environmental damage and resource scarcity, like declining fish stocks for example, are structurally inflationary forces. Demographics can go either way. Short term things like wars, debt crises, earthquakes, or pandemics can obviously have a huge impact, and irresponsible monetary policy can throw things right out the window.)
I just saw an example where the upcoming 4.6 will improve the clever use of recursive types done by some libraries.

They're getting it. Everyone is offered the vaccine. If people choose not to accept that care then what happens afterwards has to be assessed and prioritized on a case by case basis. If there's an ICU bed and two patients, one who's a Covid patient who refused to protect themselves and the other someone who has something not preventable, the second one should get priority.

Ideally there would be two beds, and everyone would get the care they need, but reality means choices have to be made. Refusing a vaccine should send you to the back of the queue.
As an aside, I doubt the example of a musician not getting more productive is correct. The invention of cheap recording media and especially radio and TV has made musicians massively more productive if you measure it by number of listeners. Also fast travel makes them more productive, if you can play 5 major cities a week you make much more money than with 5 shows in the same city, hence musicians going on tours.

Guest, not "kook". Why use the term "kook" when all that happened - and hopefully will continue to happen - is that Rogan allowed criticism of the regime by credible sources to be aired. The sources are credible because they have built a reputation on their knowledge in their fields of expertise. As to whether their criticism of the regime is valid is up to the listener to decide, not up to the censor or any (ironically-named) "fact checker". It is certainly not up to media talking heads who just parrot whatever they get fed by the regime and would gladly tell you your country has always been at war with Eurasia.

> If we don't want to restrict non-in-person voting back to how it was in 2016

In 2016, several states, including the largest, had either universal mail-in-voting or on-demand permanent-without-special-excuse absentee status, and that number had gone up for 2020 even before the response to COVID prompted some temporary and other permanent changes.

So, what exactly do you mean by “restrict non-in-person voting back to how it was in 2016”?

Do I get this right?

The only way to make money from a stock is to sell it to someone else. The only reason they buy it from you is to do the same.

So everybody gets richer, except the one who owns it when the bubble bursts, who loses everything.

Erm, it’s the other way - if you disable it, those checks would always fail, because the component responsible for elevating permissions is missing.

Sounds like a fun project. Assuming you're talking about web servers, did you know Caddy can do that? Simply configure each one to use the same storage backend and Caddy will automatically coordinate management as a cluster, and share the certificate (and OCSP staple) resources.

(And depending on the storage backend, it's no longer a single point of failure. And even if storage is the failure, it's just storage, if it's down your servers will keep running.)
I set 10-year goals.

When I'm working on day-to-day things, thinking about the next three month project, sometimes I feel "this is completely pointless" and "why are they paying me to do this?" That's when I look at my goal and, hopefully, understand what it does for my bigger picture. My current goal feels awkward and completely "not me." But there's no question in my mind I can pull it off, and if I do, I'll be proud of the accomplishment. It will have meant something to me. The fact that I had a plan will also make it a good story to tell; from idea to completion (or failure).

I'm sure you're already able to get comfort (if not motivation) in the day-to-day by looking at the three month level (a course). You may be looking at the annual level to understand the courses (a program or degree). The question is how this degree ties into your life, at decade level. Education is just a stepping stone to building or researching new things. So how does what you currently do fit into your picture of life? What does it enable you to do? Who will it allow you to meet? Where will it take you?

And then... Never tell anyone about this goal. Don't put that pressure on yourself. The goal is for you, and you alone. You can come up with variations or tangents to tell people, if you think you can't keep quiet. I often tell friends about my 2-5 year plans, and previous 10 year plans. Those plans don't really matter to me. But my current 10-year plan is mine.

Natural immunity doesn't involve a known infectious dose, and the virus actually has parts of its genome (ORF8) which antagonize MHC and the humoral immune system.

If you get very sick then its much better than vaccination because you gain T-cell epitopes to the whole genome and the response is very strong. But someone who just pops PCR positive and has little to no symptoms may not have seroconverted and form no immunity at all.

There's this very stupid idea that "natural is better" and that is false. A pile of the nonstructural proteins are all thought to be involved in immune suppression and are the exact opposite of anything that you'd ever want to put into a vaccine. The virus itself wants to be as stealthy as possible for as long as possible, for reasons that one would think would be entirely obvious. That makes it worse.
