This is a good start, and what problems does this solve IRL? As in, actual problems that happen? (Not just theoretically possible classes of problems.) I get the narrowest use-case, and then beyond that this seems otherwise doomed to become irrelevant over time rather than gain momentum and become something meaningful in any lasting sense.

Is this different than the profit model of any other generic drug company? For example, in the vet world I switched from Revolution to generic Revolt for half the price, because the patent for Revolution expired (selamectin). Is costplusdrugs presumably taking even less of a margin than whoever is competing for my generic selamectin order, or the CVS brand equivalent of tylenol?

It's doable, believe me. Linux was always reliable, but its reliability improvements didn't stop over the years, so keeping a lot servers up to date, and running smoothly is easier than 15 years ago.

We have a lot of pets and cattle servers. Cattles can be installed in 150+ batches in 15-20 minutes or so, with zero intervention after initial triggering.

Pets are rarely re-installed. We generally upgrade them over generations, and they don't consume much time after initial configuration which are well documented.

I prefer to manage some of them via Salt, but it's rather an exercise for understanding how these things work, rather than a must.

In today's world, hardware is less resilient than the Linux installation running on top of it, so if you are going to build such monolith, spec it to be as redundant and hot-swappable as much as you can. Otherwise murphy may find ways to break your hardware in creative ways.

They had to move to Qt4, and took the chance to make some big changes - in the name of "convergence", which was a shared buzzword back then.

Well written and very detailed. However, it's only focused on the effects of autonomy on currently operating manned fleets.

I realized now that achive.org's "archive string" (here 20220719195142if_) is updated
automatically. So if I use this string + some other URL,
then I get redirected to a current snapshot of that other site,
e.g.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220719195142if_/http://ranprie...

points me to

https://web.archive.org/web/20220723235055if_/https://ranpri...

I suppose the string consists of date + time in hhmmss format + if_?
Anyhow, looks like arbitrary strings (e.g. 19991230225818if_)
also get redirected to the next existing snapshot counting
from that string. This is really nice and simple for text browser scripts.

Is there some straightforward way to list all of archive.org's snapshots
(of a particular site) without a javascript-enabled browser?
It is hard to have such conversations, because they tend to be more ideologic than technical.

Most of the systems that we had in such directions, like Xerox PARC and ETHZ endevours, Inferno, Microsoft research, usually failed not because of technical issues (which they had), but because management decided to spend money elsewhere.

As proven by stuff like Android, JavaScript JIT and similar projects, it isn't a MVP product, rather something that you really need to be willing to spend years putting money into to prove a point, and the large majority isn't into it.

Regarding information, the now abandoned Android Things replaced the original Brillo project, whereas Brillo was Android without Java everything C++, Android Things became a subset of Android, where for security reasons drivers would have to be written in Java.

> A better incentive model is to have the government identify diseases that lack a solid treatment option and fund clinical trials through direct taxation

The government is the worst tool for this job, because they would need to hire external experts to assess which disease should be studied, and those experts would be already in bed with the industry for a long time. You would just be diverting tax-payer money in a different way.
At first I thought this was an article about the fallacy of associating many things one (mainly politically) doesn’t like to pop-culture characters/franchises, like Harry Potter or Star Wars (maybe the article also mention that at some point, I wouldn’t know because it’s partly behind a paywall).

That Harry Potter/Star Wars fallacy was (and still is, even though it has partially subsided) especially prevalent when discussing the current war in Ukraine.

Yeah this was the big criticism on r/homelab, that it's not a budget build at all, it's very misleading. Most of that build was free because he is who he is.

The only other thing that annoyed me is calling TrueNAS Core (FreeBSD) a "Distro" in the same sentence as a Linux distro.
Because there are objective measures by which a programming language can be judged and assesed to be better or worse than others of its peers, and those measures, like a powerful (not necessarily static) type system and consistency of the language's core design and libraries, put PHP at the bottom of a hierarchy of languages.

This need not imply condesenction to the language users or designers, not as individuals at any rate.
In current state, Debian does not contain a /usr/bin/python file, and since 2.7 is eliminated from system relatively long time ago, everything is python3.

If you really in dire need, you can install "python-is-python3", which just symlinks /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python3. However, no package can depend on it in Debian. It's strictly verboten.

You misrepresent my claim. I said it is natural to assume that someone who has done work that will earn a Nobel prize is at least approaching notability. I did not say that is required for notability.

I'm not a wikipedia expert but many of those don't meet their criteria for notability. Taking the first in the Canadian physicists category, I get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Abella The only non-primary source that isn't an obituary is Who's Who in Science and Engineering. He objectively doesn't meet the criteria listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academic...

I can't find the original pre-deletion article, but the edit comments mention that Strickland was a past president of the Optical Society. The guidelines for notability contemplate this sort of thing when they say "The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society)". There are lots of other criteria, but that's one of them, and we can recognize that the Optical Society is not in the same category.

You can say wikipedia's notability criteria are inconsistently applied. I'm not surprised. But most of these complaints amount to asking wikipedia to recognize inherent merit, which it doesn't do. Wikipedia correctly recognized Strickland's notability after the Nobel committee recognized her merit and accomplishments.

Interestingly, while responding to this I noticed that the article we are discussing here, when talking about Strickland, probably misrepresents things. The edit history on wikipedia shows an article was created and then deleted in 2014, not "just a few months before Donna Strickland won the Nobel". The Washington Post article cited in the previous sentence doesn't support that claim either. So part of what we are discussing here includes supposed facts which might be fully invented or significantly distorted by the reporter.
There are cases where it's rational to reject logic entirely, for example, when you lack the necessary background knowledge in a field to apply it reliably. Classical logic fails very badly when one of its premises fails to be completely true, as numerous famous paradoxes illustrate, and we all know some people who have been convinced of false things through logical argument.

https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/03/repost-epistemic-learn...

And, although Bayesian reasoning can deal with degrees of uncertainty other than "impossible" and "beyond the shadow of a doubt", it can still collapse under an onslaught of evidence chosen to favor one position:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/09/16/cardiologists-and-chin...

But the problem with taking the debate out of the logical realm and into the emotional realm is that, while you may win the debate, you will only win it if you are better at emotional manipulation than the other side is. In particular you will always lose if the other side is, for example, a Hollywood studio. And this is true whether you are right or wrong.

Gandhi's greatest claimed advantage for satyagraha over coercion by armed struggle was not that it was more likely to win; it was that it was incapable of effectively promoting evil goals.

You are talking about the « French Cultural Exception » which, like its name implies, is an exception to protect French culture and arts from the free markets.

We know that we will never be as strong as US majors in cinema, music, arts, … so what this exception is trying to achieve is to preserve the French culture and values (including moral values) through arts. While implementation is falling apart those days and the rules are clearly abused by a lot of companies, I truly think it was a great idea when it was imagined.

For instance, Hollywoodian cinema (and don’t get me wrong, we love most of it as an art) naturally promotes US values such as paid education, paid healthcare, free carrying of weapons, strong Christian values, neoliberalism, the idea that US is the center of the civilized world … (I randomly chose those ideas with no judgment whatsoever, just because we have different visions on those topics, so don’t blame me). Those ideas are clearly infusing into young generation as the normality so I do think the idea of this exception was genius. The idea was not to ban anything US (we love US arts) but to keep it in the context of « this is US art, so that’s why [insert_something_different] » instead of « this is mainstream art depicting the world as is should be ».

Maybe it’s hard to see it from the US side because you are in the powerful side but imagine if China invested billions in (good) arts and surpassed Hollywood with (really good) movies promoting the Chinese system moral values. I’m pretty sure the US would react immediately and I think it would be normal.

But this is just … an exception. And don’t be afraid, our current government is really happy to play the free markets game, including in healthcare.

Compared to a struct in C, Rust, Golang, or Java it takes more key presses on behalf of the programmer and only works in (/is optimized for) a narrowly specific set of circumstances.

Convenient in some ways (e.g. if you are only comfortable in JS), and does nothing useful in other contexts.

Nothing inherently wrong with it, other than it seems like a missed opportunity.

I believe the conclusion that ROI is poor is misleading:

Imagine a new truck company created by one or more tech giants.
A) Using state of the art tech.
B) Assuming mostly full autonomy.
C) Factor in the cost savings.

Conclusion is this company would very largely outperform traditional trucking companies in terms of profitability. And it would be extremely scalable.

If that holds then it follows that autonomy is simply the last component necessary to be able to disrupt the trucking industry as is.

The real question is to what degree autonomy is needed to be able to start doing this.
> 1. The price of drugs are regulated. There is no chance such a bullshit drug just combining OTC ingredients are allowed to be sold with such a high price.

Wrong, the drug pricing in Japan is not based on the ingredients itself, it's based on what you can prove as an indication for a specific disease. Does not matter if you can mix off the shelf drugs to get the same drug. For example there are painkillers with prescriptions that contain the same drug than the OTC versions but are sold at a more expensive price.

> Since there is no bullshit expensive drugs,

You seem to have no idea what you are talking about, sorry, There are drugs that cost more than 1000 dollars per injection in Japan as well, and that are reimbursed. Oncology is full of such drugs, look at the highest pharma revenues in Japan, they are all coming from companies focusing on oncology.

> Rebate is prohibited

Rebate is happening between wholesalers and hospitals, and it's not unusual, it's the de-facto mode of operation in Japan.

> they switch to generic drugs on default unless patient strongly object not to.

Depends, if the doctor has prescribe the drug with the commercial name the pharmacist can't switch you to a generic. And generics are not equivalent to the original drug - the formulation matters, not just the active ingredient.

> The govt regulate the insurance so it's either all covered by insurance or nothing

You still have to pay out of pocket in Japan, while it&'s a fraction of the total cost (30% for regular employees, 10% for elderly people). It can still get fairly expensive if you add hospital nights and all. That's why you also have additional private insurances in Japan to get higher levels of reimbursement.

Well one way is by cutting based on seniority and tenure since survival ought to correlate with value. Before you say it, that’s obviously not always the case but in a not-degenerate organisation it should be mostly the case.

You could also cut based on sparsity —- ie cut positions which are least costly to rehire.

Or cut based on dependence — cut positions which are least critical.

Or cut positions that are most dependent on near future revenue.

In all one can see how a multi criteria cut could be reasonably argued — in the end it only needs to mostly succeed.

I don't know the actual statistics (does it exist even?), all I say is making decisions on the basis of "discussions" as if it were derogatory information makes no sense. It doesn't also make sense to treat accusations as if they were a proof of wrongdoing - though a lawsuit slightly raises the probability of there being some wrongdoing, as we can assume at least some potential claimants would be deterred by the fact that their accusations are false - but we should not overestimate it, there are a lot of false accusations flying around, and even more accusations that aren't provably false but also not proven true - e.g. when a person has no success working for the company and claims it was because of discrimination of one sort or another. The person may genuinely feel that way - but it does not mean necessarily that's actually what happened.
