Can E Ink finally launch a product at a reasonable price point? I get that they are trying to mostly be an IP company, but at this point, when everyone is begging for their product, shouldn't they at least consider pivoting? Their competitors in China are starting to have good products now, and I can't wait for E Ink Inc to become irrelevant in the market it created.

Per the article, the main issue with Project Mogul is that the detection equipment wasn't reliable enough to confirm the channel (even just getting a weather balloon to stay at a constant altitude is difficult); the project fell into the low-priority list for military research and (due to being classified until recently) wasn't visible to the general public.

Even now, researchers have only detected "signs" of an evasive channel; it appears to be far more inconsistent than the analog in the ocean (which makes intuitive sense, since pressures and temperatures in the atmosphere are far more variable than in the ocean).
That comment doesn't really have any evidence beyond the fact that it's the opinion of the founder of Visionect, it just makes assertions, so I wouldn't say "refuted".

Color e-ink has a killer app: Changeable photo display in homes. This is much harder to achieve with alternative technologies (any display emitting light is an immediate no-go for just hanging on your wall). In contrast, e-readers have a significantly smaller advantage over the alternative of just reading on your phone or tablet, yet that seems to have been enough of a market for them to become cheap. And unlike e-readers, where you only really need one per person, there is hardly any limit to the number of displays people would put in their home if they do not emit light, have nice UI, and are cheap.
Is it easy to see how the number of microstates changes when you increase the temperature - everything else being equal?

How would you say that it changes then?

I'd say that the number of compatible microstates doesn't change. The probability of each microstate does change though.
soldering iron, solder, and solder sucker don't take much space. But start with bread boards, and wire strippers/cutter and a multi meter, then add in a scope. You can do most everything in the same space a keyboard / mouse take up on a desk. Get creative with finding plastic containers to store parts, and then just put them all in a small suit case. If you get the electronics bug, you'll naturally work out how to grow your area. I mostly just stick with a small kit of stuff for random things using dev boards mostly. Once you get confident, you can get boards made for cheap, then solder it together yourself, but you can get a lot of it done for you, which you will want with surface mount components.
I think the reality is more subtle.

A large number of poorer elder people will be in dire financial straits, forced to work beyond their ability to do so and unable to pay for health care.

However there are also a smaller number of extremely rich baby boomers and a very large number of comfortable middle-class ones. The former will obviously pass on large amounts of wealth. The latter have been forced to save large amounts for their old age, because they have known since middle age that the state would not provide for them very well.

In some cases they have decent final salary based pensions and other very good retirement benefits, no longer available to younger generations. In other cases, they have invested significant sums over the last decades and also made large investment gains.

This group has tended to save for the 'worst case' scenario - a long retirement of leisure spending, followed by drawn out old age with significant care needs. Most of them will not need all this capital - they'll either die younger than expected, or have better health into their 80s and 90s than they feared. The excess will be handed on to their children - and will be a significant source of intra-generational inequality in the future.

Remember also that middle-class baby boomers remain an electoral 500-lb gorilla. Governments have been very reluctant to claw back their benefits and care provisions as fast as has happened to other groups. In some cases they will be provided for better than expected when they planned for retirement.

PubMed is a great resource. Of course, it takes a lot of effort to really get something useful from those papers, since you need to try to understand the experiment they did, and not just read the conclusion (scientists have biases as well, and will often read what they want into the results).

But depending on how bad your condition is, it could absolutely be worth the time.

Check out home prices there. Yes, the lake side homes are $2M+ and very impressive, but homes smack in the middle of the city are still close to $1M and 2 bed condos in the $500-$600k range.

And of all the tourist spots in the Okanagan, Kelowna is not a top destination - it's the smaller cosy towns with the corner store and 2 acre lots on the hills overlooking the lakes. Those cost $2M+ and seem a bit more justifiable to me at least. It's like comparing Tahoe, CA to say Tracy, CA.

And I have a family member who owns a 2 bed condo in a small town further south and the price has gone from $300k to $500k. For a plain condo built in 90's in a town of 25,000 filled with people over 60 years old.

It's nuts.

...well, quite. But that's not really the "move along, nothing to see here" it first sounds like.

"Hunch" is a label we use for "I don't know explicitly how I came up with this".

Generally, when we have a label for a concept the description of which starts with "I don't know...", some people try and follow up with questions: is that a thing it is possible, in principle, to know? How could we find out for certain? If it's knowable, how do we get to know what it is?

Sometimes, they succeed, and generations of such successes is how we end up with the modern world.

Some successful authors have shared their struggles with motivation and perseverance, and others have shared their lack of such.

For some people, writing is a refuge from the stresses of the world, for others it’s a compulsion, for others it’s a surge of inspiration that moves through them now and then, etc

This variety of process is common to all traditionally creative endeavors, and even things like athletics or coding. There’s no shortage of “successful” people sharing their experience of such.

I can’t know, but you may be blinding yourself through some kind of confirmation bias.

I don't think I've used a language where this isn't the default behaviour so I'm not sure I've ever heard it given an actual name, it's just what happens when you don't catch the exception - it keeps going until someone does catch it, or it hits the runtime and demolishes your program.

In what proportion?
For sure. Absolutely.
> I really don’t want to sound calloused because caring for the weak and the elderly is a pillar of civilizations, but my impression was that the bulk of “excess deaths” were not among the most economically active populations

Really? The elderly may not be likely to work, but they still consume (they consume lots of medical services in proportion to their numbers, for instance.)

“the burden on the state for such things as ... Medicaid” is a chunk of economic activity. With taxes the same and that spending gone, alone, the economy shrinks.

I'm increasingly thinking politicians should not be allowed to make decisions that won't impact them. We've got people that will be dead in 20 years preventing action on global warming.

They won't live long enough to have to deal with their consequences of their actions, and they clearly don't care if they burn the planet down before their kids inherit it.

I think this translates to an age limit of 65-75.

More importantly, I think this should be applied to voters as well.

I mean, all programming language communities are partial to their language, but among Go there seems to be an unusual tolerance for disagreement and discussion of language issues compared to most other programming languages. But yeah, when you come in guns blazing talking about how certain language features are "shit" and there's no possibility of elegance, people are rightly going to think you're not there for any sort of productive conversation.

For example, I regularly have productive conversations with people in the community about error handling and sum types and generics, including my criticism for the way Go does some of those features. A little civility goes a long way, and this isn't particular to the Go community or even programming language communities in general. Note that there definitely are PL communities that generally can't handle any criticism irrespective of civility, but the Go community isn't among them. Indeed, in my experience, Go's critics are very often much more zealous than its proponents.

Inflation should take care of demand. A constrained supply is going to move the demand curve to higher prices - which we're seeing. The higher prices will bring demand in alignment with supply.

Traditionally, to deal with the problem of constrained supply you would lower rates to make more capital available in order to create more supply-producing assets. I don't think the Fed should lower rates in this situation because we all know that building more factories won't solve the supply chain issues due to the pandemic. However, we need to balance that against investing more in automation since having fewer workers due to the pandemic.

They're in quite the pickle!

As Shanghai's case numbers steadily rose and the government did nothing, I was telling friends that the result would be a disaster.

What really worried me was when Shanghai announced that they were so economically important that they couldn't lock down. That convinced me that they had given up on zero-CoVID and were adopting the Western "living with the virus" approach, without fully admitting it to the public.
As a physician, I can see that the 'corporatization' of healthcare has been a bad thing for patients. Unlike most other services whose use is discretionary, people do not choose to get sick. Healthcare is more like a police, fire or a disaster service. To allow a profit driven structure to use competition among providers to deliver this service will only harm the sick.

In the same way that national defense has been driven into a profit making venture (and encouraging the support for proxy wars), health care has become a beast beyond monopolistic power, able to drive demand for its own supply. The net result has been to give responsibility without authority to the providers. Nurses are subject to mandatory overtime. Physicians are required to take unreimbursed call. These services were once the hallmark of a devoted provider. Now they are exploited by a corporate profit seeking behemoth.

Patients now have such large deductibles that they prefer to pay me in cash for a negotiated lower price. No longer is health insurance actually insurance. It has become more of a coupon or in the language of today's generation, a groupon.

Even retirees who with Medicare only had to pay 20% of unreimbursed allowable expenses, have increasing burdens. The premium for part B (yes you have to pay for the part of Medicare that does not cover the hospital) has increased 15% this year and the government stated this is largely the result of a single dementia therapy - a pill that costs $56,000.

I think we could fix the problem if we required our lawmakers to actually pay for their healthcare. They get it for free. In addition, each gets a multimillion dollar stipend to run their office, separate and apart from their generous salary. For doing what? pushing emails. And they are so afraid of offending any part of their constituency that they spend most of their time arguing about non-issues. Their ridiculous behavior is creating a fertile environment for the next tyrant who will prromise salvation and deliver true misery.

Online data visualization notebook ObservableHQ does a great job interpolating dynamic values into very nicely formatted Markdown. It also has an export system. You can download all your content and the open-source runtime. That could work for distributing a single-offline-html-file with your finished notebook embedded and rendered: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/downloading-and-embed...

I think you could port your Word doc to ObservableHQ and wire up the forms & variables in an afternoon. But, I’m not sure if ObservableHQ will satisfy your other tool requirements. And I haven’t tried the export for myself. I built my first notebook a few days ago and was very impressed.
Golang is great because it was the first to include excellent tooling in addition to the language (strict compiler, linting, non-customizable gofmt, package manager, good html docs, online playground, etc.)

It’s undeniable that it brought a lot of good ideas that languages like Rust borrowed.

Golang is still undefeated in terms of battery included. Its standard library is top notch and full featured.

On the other hand it is more high-level, has a GC, and has made a number of mistakes (no sum types). The biggest trade off it does though: it lacks expressiveness. The new generic will probably help, but the trade off of Golang is deep. It makes writing code harder so that reading is easier.

> Hyperinflation is almost certainly followed by a major world conflict. ex) Weimarch Republic

Nah. The US is still too self-sufficient, even if the US collapses internally as a result of either inflation or political infighting (which is scarily possible, we've seen the first signs on Jan 6th 2021!) there won't be any need for the US to head to an offensive war for resources, space or revenge. The US produce more than enough food, oil and gas to serve the country's demands; the interesting thing will be anything involving computer chips but as long as Japan and South Korea don't get invaded there won't be a need for the US to intervene with its military.

The really interesting part will be China and Russia... but given that Russia gets their ass brutally beaten in Ukraine and most Chinese military designs have strong roots in Soviet and Russian technology, I seriously doubt that China will risk anything more than loud posturing.

In any case I think and hope that nuclear MAD doctrine should be enough to prevent a large scale world wide war.

You are correct and doesn't take an economist to figure this out. VISA and Paypal's reduction was a major red flag. Contrary to permabulls, when goods get expensive, people actually just stop consuming those goods or reduce it. It's bad because companies have to lower prices but they can't because of supply chain issues. So we are beginning to see what many economist have predicted: simultaneous stagnation and inflationary prices.

I personally think that we might end up like Japan with a permanently low interest rate at the cost of stagnation and continued inflation that destroys the middle class and pushes people on the fringes further.

It's likely that the whole pandemic measures while legitimate in itself, also had a second ulterior beneficiaries, the ability to massively lockdown segments of the population and keep them inside. Looking at the Shanghai and now Beijing lockdown reminds of this yet the cases continue to rise which tells me the primary motive isn't to reduce covid over there. It will take far less to pull off the same thing in free societies, fear portrayed by mainstream media and experts is all that is necessary to keep everybody from participating in mass protests and violence.

It is said that if you do business with authoritarian countries, you start to resemble them and I fear that we are headed towards something like that from all we've seen in the past 3 years especially.
