It doesn't quite work like that in pharmacy!

1. Your insurance can and will block certain pharmacies if they got big enough (see PillPack before the Amazon acquisition). They have their own pharmacies and route the most profitable scripts there.

2. You would run into market size limitation if you decide to never accept insurance

3. Getting someone to switch their pharmacy requires major effort on their part - as well as the cooperation of all their doctors. It's almost like switching IT vendors!!

At that point, might as well start my dream recycling business where we desolder, test everything and sell them as parts. They do it in China at scale, why not Europe... Main question is, would there be enough buyers? Small repair shops are also dying...

Right, the idea being the EU mandate would reduce sales of their charger, and eliminate sales of their USB-C -> Lightning cable. And how they might respond.
Most of the "stuff that used to be new" is long gone. Once the exclusivity expires, there's no reason to make sixteen distinct medicines that are really just a single idea smeared out to score points, so you either invent more or you go back to only supplying the thing everybody actually wanted.

And there's no need for making medicines which merely "used to be new" any more profitable than say, felt tip pens or flour. I take Levothyroxine every morning (for the rest of my life) and they figured out how to synthesize that about a hundred years ago. Nobody who worked on that project is even alive still, let alone relying on some hypothetical profits from their work. But guess what, in the US it'll cost more than it does here because the US values profit for pharmaceutical executives over healthcare for its citizens.
Haha I remember this. What a grifter. He likes to pretend he isn't.
I'd say that either one is good. Writing your own compiler, depending on how you do it, will get you into assembly and machine language, which will benefit your understanding of the lowest levels of computers, and of the low-level mechanisms behind concurrency and operating systems.

You can always do a 2nd project with your interpreter, where you compile down to a bytecode, then JIT the bytecodes to machine language.

> What problem is the EU solving here?

This isn't about solving an existing problem. As you pointed out, pretty much everyone standardized around micro-usb almost a decade ago. That's mostly because Apple launched the iPhone with a proprietary but standard connector (the original iPod connector). So while all other phone makers had a special adapter and cable for every model, you could plug an iPhone on anything that worked with an iPod. Even the original firewire cable from 2003 would work with it.

What this is about is getting reelected and justifying to voters the usefulness of paying huge amounts of taxes to fund an EU-wide parliament. So they manufactured an (easy) problem to "fix". And it's going to be extremely popular since they'll be attacking and regulating "evil foreign tech giants".
It is very important for national stability. A highly-interconnected global economy is arguably better at securing international stability.

No, I'm talking about a very literal shortage of physicians in the US. Not a shortage of saints or whatever tangent you're going on. The US has a physician shortage. I will repeat under your argument there should be no physician shortage in the US because the US has among the highest salaries for physicians. This should not happen by the argument you keep repeating.

The fact that someone can see a physician tomorrow with enough money is irrelevant because with enough money they are no limited to the US. Experts are not located entirely within the US, hence why many millionaire/billionaires will travel for medical aid because other countries might have people with more expertise in XYZ.

The rest of your comment is completely irrelevant to the argument I'm making.
I don't understand why light pollution gets so little attention in the US.
>> I hope this sort of video signing will be mainstream in all cameras in the future (i.e. cellphones etc), as it will pretty much solve the trust issues deep fakes are causing.

> It shouldn't be too hard to film a deepfake movie from a screen or projection that don't make it obvious it was filmed. That way, the cryptographic signature will even lend extra authenticity to the deepfake!

Would you even have to go that far? Couldn't you just figure out how to embed a cryptographically valid signature in the right format, and call it good?

Say you wanted to take down a politician, so you deepfake a video of him slapping his wife on a streetcorner, and embed a signature indicating it's from some rando cell phone camera with serial XYZ. Claim you verified it, but the source wants to remain anonymous.

I don't think this idea address the problems caused by deepfakes, unless anonymous video somehow ceases to be a thing.

Similarly, it could have serious negative consequences, such as people being reluctant to share real video because they don't want to be identified and subject to reprisals (e.g. are in an authoritarian country and have video of human rights abuses).
> as is the French giant Airbus (Airbus Group N.V.).

Airbus are not a French giant. They're the result of a merger of Spanish, French, German and British aircraft companies. The HQ of Airbus civil aircraft is in France, but for Military aircraft it's in Spain, for helicopters it's in Germany. Wings are made in the UK. There are factories all over those places ( which presents unique challenges in terms of logistics, there's a lot of material out there on how they handle shipping various parts to the correct factory for final assembly, it's fascinating).

The Netherlands is a nice neutral location ( of course with a good tax regime and simple corporate structures) to have the registration.

This conflates the user concept of a buffer with the gap buffer implementation emacs happens to use.

This is a pity, because buffers as a user sees them are a strength of emacs, the article covers several of the reasons for this. Other editors have files which don't happen to be saved to disk or have a name, and that might sound like the same idea as a buffer but in practice it isn't, and emacs does a lot of neat stuff because it has buffers.

But this gets folded in with a sort of handwavy argument about the gap-buffer enabling a certain kind of low-level programming which I don't view as at all justified. It's a historical accident of emacs that it uses an adequate-but-by-no-means-optimal data structure.

We're talking about lisp here, it's high level. Providing a user abstraction of a string with a cursor into it, and some line information, that's basic.

The reason Emacs is built on gap buffers is because of TECO, as a sibling comment points out, and we shouldn't confuse the practical impossibility of moving emacs over to something like a rope, with the viability of having a programmable editor with good user ergonomics which does use a rope, or some other enriched data structure with more useful qualities than the gap buffer.

This is pretty surprising to me, as even as a free GitHub user that probably has an above average amount of contact with GitHub support, I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes to an hour for a reply to a ticket.

If they really give you worse service than free customers if you don't have a good SLA, that's a little troubling and they should maybe rethink their support strategy - but I also imagine that helping with outages is a little more complex than regular support tasks(account recovery, sponsors, etc).
You can have both long grasses that establish and preserve natural habitats and also have places for humans and their companions to walk and play.

If you have a half acre backyard and only play in the 2/3 closest to your house, mow that grass and keep it neat, but let the other 1/3 go wild and/or install habitat-building plantings.

I disagree with that characterisation, doing business in France is not that complex. Amsterdam has a giant advantage though - the English language is widely spoken and accepted, which really isn't the case in Paris. If an international organisation is looking to move from London, Amsterdam makes much more sense than Paris, even if we disregard the taxes side of things.
Heck, your entire host could go down, what do you then? If it's not a major infrastructure provider like Azure, AWS, or GCP (I forget if that's what they call theirs) then you're kind of SOL. Outages can and will happen, the question is, how bad is the next one? If they are too frequent, you have to evaluate if it's really the provider or your application, if it's the former, you may want to consider a new host, or get with your hosting provider and get them to figure out why you.

> Isn't it basically already here? Every search that someone does from Spotlight is that much closer to being one less search that Google can see/monetize.

Well yes, sort of already there, yes. But Google will still get to see/monetize for a while yet, as explained below. The class action lawsuit might accelerate that process. Apple’s WWDC announcement that Spotlight will now feature more prominently on home screens is the next step in directing your searches, with Siri and/or other search tools/partners.

With Spotlight your are directed you to web search results not from the search preference set in your default browser, but instead for the preference set in Safari. And Google is the default preference in Safari. So Google will still see most of the searches (and keep paying $billions for the traffic).

An example might illustrate this clearer: say Firefox is your default browser and Ecosia (or Mojeek) is set as your search preference. In this case the Spotlight search would go ahead and do the search in Firefox using the search preference set in Safari (which is likely to be Google). Ecosia or Mojjek or any other different choice you make, is bypassed.

Astonishingly, even if you delete Safari, the default search choice of Safari will still be used by Spotlight.
> yes it is, but where does this fundamental science helps in everyday problems?

PhD or not, this is an oddly utilitarian view of science.

I suspect there would be countless discoveries that never would have been made had we only ever weighed an experiment based purely on its ability to "help in everyday problems".

I mean, why, say, develop the theory of evolution? At the time that was irrelevant to "everyday problems". Today our understanding of evolution is valuable in countless settings, but at the time? At best it was an interesting exercise in trying to understand the natural world.

And yet by this reckoning we never would've bothered.

> A more interdependent world is a friendlier and more secure world.

No, it's not. Wars between major trading partners aren't historically uncommon at all.

> When countries are completely independent of each other they will be able to more easily shrug off economic consequences of their aggression.

When countries (particularly those toward opposite ends of the extraction -> intermediate goods -> finished goods -> finance & services spectrum) are integrated with trade, it produces durable inequalities through ricardian specialization and strong resentments that are either subjugating through imperial domination, mollified through political union and welfare policies, or expressed in war. Sometimes the latter even after the former through political union.
I don't know why mathematics is being singled out as something difficult or mysterious. I do not find it more so than, say, chemistry or molecular biology or medicine or law, to give just a few examples.
I'd say there's probably about 1/2 to 2/3rds overlap between the two. You'd still need to do all the same lexing and parsing. You still need to create a model of execution for your language.

But the primitive substrate of the machine (be it real or virtual) turns implementing that execution model into a puzzle all its own. You might implement an array in your interpreted language as just an array in your host language. You might implement an object as just a HashMap between field names and values in your host language. Interpreters don't have to build their own interfaces with the operating system, they reuse those interfaces from the host language in which they are developed, but a compiled language will need some way of its own to execute system calls.

Like, printing some text to a terminal. Say we were implementing an interpreted language in C#. We get to the point of writing our own "print" function for our own language. We'll probably end up creating some kind of translation from our language's print format to some kind of call to System.Console.WriteLine in C#. You might even like the format of Console.WriteLine, so you might even make it a straight, one-to-one translation and call it a day.

But if you're writing a compiled language, you'll need to know how the operating system you're running on expects to receive and execute commands. That's a whole other thing. To grossly oversimplify, it largely means getting a bunch of bytes into the right format and order into memory and then executing a specific CPU instruction. Want to allocate memory? There's another blob-of-memory-plus-execute-an-instruction interface you'll need to adhere to. Want to open a network socket? Same. And modern operating systems provide a lot of functionality.

But also, a lot of that work is kind of grunt work. There are certainly ways you can design a language that make it more difficult to implement as a compiled language than an interpreted one (dynamic typing, for example). Let's gloss over that issue. All else being equal, the language portion of the work being done in interpreters versus compilers is largely the same.
In that case, I would recommend reading this post. Shutt explains it much better than I can.

If this standardization happened in 1999, would we now all be walking around with the original [large] USB-B or DC barrel jacks on our phones? (Those were the standardized connectors of the day.)

Do we believe given the track record of a new connector being introduced more frequently than once every 5 years just within the USB standardization process, that we've somehow reached the end of that road in practical terms? If we've reached the end of the road, by all means we could standardize and say "you have to use the pinnacle of USB connector type".
