> So okay, I understand the pyramid analogy there. There’s a problem though: the boomers will die.

Well, after the boomers have died, Generation X and the Millenials will demand their retirement package. The population age distribution will not become a pyramid with the next generations.

> just raise contributions a little bit

A little bit. Lol. In Germany the contributions are quite unpopular, too (and rightly so with 20% removed from your gross income), but the government just increased the tax subsidies over the years. Nowadays, they amount to about 30% of Germany‘s federal budget — on top of all the contributions. How much money do you think does a society need to pay for their retirees to make a redistributive pension system sustainable?

> See, even though you’re ostensibly investing money so you can retire later, what happens in practice is that your money is being injected in parts of the economy to fuel your investment. And ultimately, part of that money will be used to pay currently retired people.

No. You have a weird notion of how capital markets work. In a capital based system an individual saves for his retirement. Money is put aside every month and invested over a long time. The individual‘s money and its returns of investment are used to pay the pension.

You can make this a public system where everybody is forced to pay and even set up a national fund. It can be subsidied a little to support the poor when retiring.

This is how to render this system fair and sustainable.

Not specifically registration, but some sites just make using them so annoying that, a lot of the time, I just give up in frustration and take my business elsewhere.

* Any site [like eBay] which uses reCAPTCHA. But even more so, any site which uses reCAPTCHA as a 2nd stage in the login process, AFTER I've already correctly entered my username and password.

* Any site [like PayPal] which insists I use 2FA, but only offers SMS as the two-factor option. I live in an area with no phone signal. So, every time I buy something using PayPal, I literally have to go outside and climb part way up a hill opposite, to receive the damned confirmation code.

* Any site [like eBay & Amazon] which greets me by name, shows me my purchase history, lets me view my account, add things to my shopping basket, etc. But then suddenly asks me to login, when I try to do some trivial thing, like change a preference.

Well yes, they kinda have to, because if you aren't a scientist other people (like mathematicians) will look down at you. And if you cant show fancy formulas and statistics to show you proved things you are running into trouble getting funding, because you arent considered a science and thus not worth any money. Just look at the humanities, who are having an even harder time getting funding.

That's so interesting- I think I have the opposite response. I figure unless I'm doing a very specific case that doesn't fit well with the stdlib sort (for some specific reason), It's probably good enough. Those language folks usually know their stuff, who am I to try something else?

Touchscreens offer increased flexibility and allow to update interfaces with little cost, but they offer almost no physical feedback.

We are used to (see brains and fingers) feeling complex shapes when touching things, but now all we have is occasional taptic vibration.

Holos and AR suffer from similar issue, they are a natural extension of touchscreens missing a crucial element from interfaces of the past.

After 20 years not coding (or coding in python, ruby, R, that sort of thing), I started up writing code in rust that needs performance (emulator). I was absolutely amazed by the quality of the compiler today compared to what I had 20 years ago. It's really amazing to see how clever it has become.

I always found this protocol fascinating due to its apparent simplicity. As a first-year student, I was fiddling with configuring the kernel, and found the ATA-over-Ethernet driver and immediately thought I'd understood it: just throw the ATA commands in an Ethernet frame. After college, I started working at Oracle who partnered with high-end storage vendors for their projects. I was amazed and figured it would be so much cheaper to use Linux :)

Yes. This is a common opinion outside the US.

The whataboutism in general (not referring to your comment) regarding the Russian war is sort of ridiculous. It's like nobody remembers the outrage over US wars over the past 20 years. Like, most Germans I've met are very critical of the US and their foreign policy.
Firefox on Snap is broken. The sandboxing prevents some Firefox extensions from working properly, including the one that allows you to install GNOME Shell extensions from https://extensions.gnome.org (the only official way to install GNOME Shell extensions). They've known about this for years, and still went ahead and removed the option to install Firefox from the APT repositories in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Don't be facetious. In real life, the forces acting on the exponent correspond to real things that are related to the thing we're observing grow.

If you don't have a causal graph explaining why your exponent is changing, then your plot doesn't make sense.

Everything will be completely different once Starship works. All the mass limits evaporate. There would be no need for RPG power, because you could just carry enough fuel. No 13-year transit time needed; just blast straight out there.

It is immoral to use candidate answers in your product, assuming you don’t hire them.

If you do hire them then I guess it becomes fine, but otherwise definitely immoral.

The problem is that we’re fleshy meatbags and easily influenced. It’s possible we internalise answers to interview questions and then “spontaneously” come up with them later, without _knowingly_ stealing the idea.

This happens sometimes in comedy, and the comedian apologises. You can usually tell the difference in comedy between plagiarism and accidental theft because the joke is delivered much differently but has the same core. It would be harder with interview answers.
As we know most users on a subreddit do not create the content for each other. Its a tiny minority. Additionally, Reddit themselves, in the effort to identify and quarantine/ban bad behaviour labelled subreddits "communities". Previously users would subscribe to a bunch of subreddits as a kind of casual action, now the site itself is framing it as joining a community, as an identity. (Communities from outside can join reddit and create a subreddit, bringing their users but this is a different case and not what I'm talking about.)

Taken together the subreddits themselves can identify their own subscribers as forming a community. However the actual numbers are very low and the cohesiveness of the subreddit is illusory. Subreddits created from within reddit are not communities in actuality. They might have some dedicated people within it, but they won't be able to bring their community and the numbers they would like with them because the community doesn't actually exist.

Reality is that chips became that cheap that it isn't viable to produce them in any western nation. With a unit price of a few cents you can calculate how many you would have to bring into the market considering R&D and production costs. It would be billions of units.

Taiwan will be able to produce them because they have the infrastructure, know-how and manufacturing processes established. Especially the knowledge was outsourced into foreign countries and companies now get their invoice for short term profits.

Overall I think Mr. Chang is correct and doesn't only want to pronounce the importance of Taiwan for domestic industry. The industry did became reliant on low wage workers manufacturing components to improve their quarterly reports.

Positive side is that since the shortage exists, industry has begun to recycle chips and solder them off boards that would otherwise be thrown away, I guess. That wasn't viable when the chip did cost .05$, but worthwhile if its value rises to 5$ or more.

Salvadorans don't even dislike bitcoin itself, for the most part. A few have concerns with money laundering in a country riddled with drug gangs, the CO2 production and so on - but the main objections are (1) this was forced on people (2) Chivo is unreliable rubbish.

This is a great series of posts from Bitcoin Italia, a very pro-bitcoin podcast. They tried to do a holiday in El Salvador entirely on bitcoin. They proclaim it a huge success, while I read it and see a huge amount of optimism for a system that barely works and is barely supported: https://bitcoinitaliapodcast.it/missione-el-salvador But if you want a positive report, that's the one to read through.

It turns out you can't use bitcoin everywhere - you have to find the one shop in a town where it's accepted, then they have to find the one guy who knows how it works. Often a shop sets up one of the non-subsidised wallets (typically Bitcoin Beach or Muun) and you wait 10 minutes for your transaction to be confirmed on the base chain, because the shop hasn't figured out the Lightning bit. Or Lightning in or out of Chivo just doesn't work (which is deliberate, because Chivo throttle it). Or you see an "Aceptamos Bitcoin" sign, and it just means the shop has Chivo but only know how to use it with dollars.

Quite a bit of Bitcoin Italia's "bitcoin" use turned out to involve buying gift cards via Bitrefill - that is, they cashed out bitcoins into dollars, which Bitrefill then used to buy the gift cards.

They did withdraw dollars for bitcoins from a Chivo ATM later to see how the machines work. They discovered that if you deposit bitcoins, then you can get dollar bills out immediately - for an on-chain transaction with zero confirmations, before it's hit the blockchain. A replace-by-fee transaction with a higher fee could override that unconfirmed transaction - giving you free money, for only the cost of the replace-by-fee transaction.

Chivo seems to me a huge wasted opportunity. There are private payment networks, but this was government supported. A good and reliable official electronic payment network could have been really useful for the local economy. But trust is the hardest thing for a payment network to build, and the easiest to lose.

Articles like this further cement my belief that Linux's low memory handling is deeply flawed. (macOS's too, btw.)

My experience with Linux machines that have HDDs and swap is that once they start swapping, they slow down not only until memory is freed (ctrl-C gets through, OOM killer runs, whatever) but actually until reboot. My theory is that processes' VM space is now a minefield. Both anonymous memory and file-backed mmaps now have many gaps which get paged in on demand with inadequate readahead. With each seek taking ~10 ms, it doesn't take too much of that before you should give up and just reboot.

Once memory is available, I'd like the system to proactively page back in both swap and file-backed pages to prevent this. If it does need to happen reactively, it should be in big blocks (each 10 ms of seeking should be follow by at least 10 ms of reading => ~1 MiB, not ~4 KiB or whatever it's doing now). By default.

I'm not convinced the decision to use swap is ever a good one. E.g., from the article:

> With swap: We can choose to swap out rarely-used anonymous memory that may only be used during a small part of the process lifecycle, allowing us to use this memory to improve cache hit rate, or do other optimisations.

This is short-sighted. Programs can be written to tolerate their filesystem I/O being slow. They often take care to do I/O on a particular thread which is not handling network or GUI operations. They can't realistically be written to tolerate arbitrary memory accesses (including program text, stack, and heap) being that slow. It's a stupid idea to potentially slow down the latter to (try to) speed up the former. And programs shouldn't all have to mlockall, which iirc has other bad consequences. (maybe it allocates backing pages for all mappings immediately? even stuff like stack guard pages that's pure waste?) I have written programs to mlock (just) their program text; I'd prefer that weren't necessary either.

I prefer that under memory pressure, a task dies promptly. Ideally the "right" task, but really it just has to be better than making the system unusable for a long time. Even if it kills the display server or pid 1 inappropriately, I was probably going to have to reboot anyway, so...
