Java has had AOT compilers since 2000, although they were commercial only, and nowadays there are some free beer ones via GraalVM and OpenJ9.

C# has always supported AOT compilation via NGEN, with the caveat that it needs to be done on-device and only dynamic linking is supported.

Besides NGEN, in the 20 years of .NET history, we had CosmOS AOT compiler, Singularity (whose tech landed on Windows 8 MDIL), Midori (whose tech landed on UWP .NET Native), Mono AOT (still going at it), Unity's IL2CPP, and now Native AOT.
In my country (slovenia, former yugoslavia) owning homes destroyed the housing market in the long run...

The government owned a huge percentage of homes and rented them out to people who needed them, and moved them around too (if they got a kid, they got a larger apartment).

Then after the breakup, the government didn't want to deal with that, and sold all those apartments to renters living there for peanuts.. so 'everybody' got a home, and in the meantime stopped the communist-style buildings. .. then nimbyism, and yeah.. same as everywhere.

Now the "boomers" have apartments and young people can't buy them, because we don't build stuff anymore. When a boomer dies, their kids inherit and lease it out, because selling it is pointless due to ever rising prices (again, nobody builds anything anymore... nimbyism and all that)

If the government kept the apartments, when a boomer died, someone else would get to rent it at the government-non-profit-rate, but nope... whole country paid for building those apartments, some people got lucky to keep them, and the others could fuck off.

Also, building a private house back then was easier.. you could basically build, and then deal with all the pesky stuff, such as permits and legalization... now, you can't build a dog house without building/construction inspectors there. On one hand, we now have improper owner-build buildings in inapropriate places... on the other hand, atleast those people got a house, which is impossible now.

Also, building a house isn't even so expensive here... especially if you do a lot of stuff alone... but just the project/permit costs are higher than the bricks and concrete, and buying a piece of land where you're actually permitted to build is impossible... but we do have literal fields in the prime locations of our capital - https://goo.gl/maps/YeoJMMGN2QhtZDLs8 (just rotate the view around to see what's next to that)

tldr: in socialist time, everybody was renting from the government, in capitalist time, those apartments were sold for peanuts to renters (and the rest of the taxpayers, who didn't get apartments, got fucked)
So, cyberpunk is "high tech, low life" about. It's a kind of classical definition. And here comes the obvious question. What kind of "transactions" can those who live in low life have? Low life means you don't have any transactions at all.

Cyberpunk is a nice niche of fiction, but too controversial in the continuation of this fiction into reality :)

A nitpic on the article. Teahupoo is not a big wave surfing spot similar to Jaws/Mavrics/Nazaré. It's a know for it's freakishly thick shape, amazing barrels, and dangerous reef, but the biggest wave there is about 25 feet, not even in the conversation with the 80+ waves at the other locations.
Here it is on one of it's biggest days.

Mind sharing what field you work in that gathers so much talent like that?
It doesn’t matter what you or I think; what matters is that the American living in a single family house driving a big car will perceive anything else as a reduction in quality-of-life and vehemently oppose it.

Also, not even the worst suburbs require you to regularly wait in traffic for an hour to go to the supermarket or a park. These are usually 10 minute drives away. And if it’s raining, or too cold, or too hot out, I would gladly take the (electric) SUV over the bike.
Indeed, 4.5% would be 5% when rounded in decimal, but it's 1 in 22.222 in fractional, so 1 in 20 and 5% both are valid choices with normal rounding.
How would you measure "sustainable growth focused on actual quality of life"? Generally economic growth goes hand in hand with an objective increase in quality of life, though as i just mentioned, the ways of measuring that are via poor proxies at best.
It's probably not your intention, but your comment could be read as playing down the issue in the original article. The risk to women is of course much more prevalent and often more severe.

We also should not forget that these are political representatives - they should absolutely be held to a higher standard than everyone else. Because if we don't then we either abandon pro-social behavior as a desirable trait or the belief that elections should help to select people who are more capable by any standard.
I heard Eric Hughes talk at the HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth) conference in NYC in 1994[1]. Amazing talk on crypto and digital banking in the future and digital currencies decades before Bitcoin. I was juiced. I bought and started reading Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography. I was introduced to the J programming language and then APL, and I found this little treasure, "Mr. Babbage's Secret: The Tale of a Cypher and APL", and although no where in subject matter or as rigorous as Schneier's book, it was fun. It had old posts in newspapers where people shared secret messages. The book goes into Babbage's life and interest in these ciphers. It has APL code for the examples, which is great because of its conciseness you don't need pages of code to sift through in the book. However, it is written in a much less concise form with comments compared with modern APL.

I moved away from crypto and into hardware hacking and circuitry. I got into robotics and left the cypherpunk world behind! Another talk at that first HOPE was on using the parallel port to control motors and other things.

Eric Hughes gave a great talk. I know video was recorded, so it would be good to watch it all for fun and memories.

Footnote: I had a chance to buy Bitcoin in May 2013 for around $124. It had just left double digits, and I was sweating buying 20 for $2500! My luck!

Back in socialist time, the government was the landlord for a huge percentage of that... they literally took peoples private houses away after WW2, and rented them out to people.

Only after the split of yugoslavia, they sold the taxpayer paid and built apartments to then-current renters for peanuts.
On one hand you have people assuming that the trucks won't run because they can't comply with every letter of the law, as if they were in perfect compliance before. And on the other hand you have the people who are closer to the ground and know that the trucks will run, just less legally (several options for doing so have already been mentioned in the comments).

The discontinuity between the regulators and the kind of people who write for the economist vs the people more closely dealing with the reality on the ground is far more interesting (in a train wreck sort of way) to me than any given shortage in a "required for compliance" material.
For me personally, the only climate metric worth paying attention to is this one: https://www.climate.gov/media/13611

All other "Good news" and "reason(s) for optimism" I consider to be accounting tricks.

> You may not know if a single person is supporting a relative or a grandma with cancer. Nor should you.

I see this as the core of the argument - paying people based on their needs requires you to invade their privacy in order to find out their needs. And not wanting your employer to invade your privacy would mean getting some baseline low pay because "you don't have any needs".
I think I mentioned that, or I don´t understand what you mean.
supply of funds. The government needs to bring an appropriations bill to explain how all of the tax revenue will be spent. This bill then needs to pass the House of Representatives and the senate. At the time, the liberal government controlled the senate and refused to pass the appropriations bill, hence blocking the supply of funds to government programs.

Subsequent to this, there is an agreement that appropriations bills are split in 2. One bill is to continue funding from last years budget (on the basis that it was approved, and passed both houses, and therefore those things need to continue to be funded), and appropriations bill #2 which is all of the new initiatives. This way, government will continue to function, but the government and opposition can still debate and argue over changes.

<em> and <strong> have always been there as long as I recall, and are part of the 1995 HTML 2.0 spec. Before NCSA Mosaic, your hypertext was being rendered on text based terminals. Most of them couldn't render italics, and for emphasis tended to invert foreground and background, use underlining, or color if you were lucky. The use of italics and bold to add emphasis started when people started using the first WYSIWYG HTML editors in the later 90s. People who had never learned HTML or even written hypertext before, concerned primarily with making things pretty. And this problem drove the creation of CSS, to get people to stop using tables for layout but never quite got people to understand <i> and <b> were exclusionary, except at the Universities where they had to support braille terminals and screen readers for visually impaired students.
How dare you! Listen to the scientists! No not those scientists!
Amazon driver ran into house – ring video is missing

The Beihilfe covers 70% of children's medical cost IIRC, and the bonus is significantly higher than private insurance for children.

I was in Nazaré a couple of weeks ago and I loved it. While the waves were not gaint (100ft) they were around 20ft one of the days and this still really allows you to appreciate the power of the ocean. I really liked the town - nothing is better then cheap coffee and Pastel de Nata. It's certainly worth a visit there :)
Yes you are right, I should have said that re-mutation of mutations happen far less often than accumulation of additional mutations.

Novel epitopes should be high copy number - and driver mutations will be present in 80-100% of the cancer cells. It depends how many cancer cells you get in your biopsy that you sequence I guess.

It is easier for a cancer cell to mutate or remove a cell surface protein than to mutate the same mutation targeted, but you are right - that can happen and I'm sure will be a form of treatment resistance for these types of treatment in the future.

> there is a lower bound on the amount of consumption a single person can live off.

That may be true, but that bound is clearly a lot lower than many people currently operate at. The has about twice the inflation adjusted per-capita GDP that it had 40 years ago, and about 5 times the current world average. https://www.statista.com/statistics/996758/rea-gdp-growth-un...

The reason they don't, I believe, is because they may lose their leader position if they do that. The reason the artists are there, and don't bite to any of the "let's push you into a separate page", is because they want the eyeballs. Youtube "normal" pages have the eyeballs.

When you see how youtube "live gaming" section is failing despite being so much technically superior to the competition on the video side, I don't think the artists are wrong on that one.

But yes, I agree that they absolutely should, and it would make the experience so much better ... Another exemple is how your "my subscription" page, meant for checking all the channels you're subscribed at once to not miss any content that you're interested in, becomes utterly useless once you sub to a couple decently active music channels, which tends to publish much much more frequently than regular video channels.
Because kids are good for essentially everything and we don't want to disadvantage people for having children?

> Who cares how it's done on the bookkeeping side? I care about my account being lowered by the amount of crypto something has cost me and getting the service / goods I want.

Anybody who understands what cryptocurrency is supposed to be should definitely care about it. There is nothing crypto about these cards, they just liquidate some of your crypto collateral to settle in fiat. You could do this yourself, or use any other random credit card. It's a convenience, but is literally the anti-thesis of cryptocurrency, and/or has nothing to do with cryptocurrency in the first place. The cards are ran by a financial institute or bank and the collateral could be anything.

Sure, the card and its convenience and functionality has value. Cryptocurrency plays zero part in it. Funnily enough, what you see as value here is provided by the fiat system and not by cryptocurrency.
[0] is classic NIMBYism not degrowth as an aim (I hope you can acknowledge those are different things).

You are just repeating the same arguments that were repeated back then. It's like you are running circles around the discussion at hand. Asia will neither overtake the west in worker productivity nor revenue per worker anytime soon if at all. They need to lift way more people out of poverty before it will ever happen. At the moment they are running their economy on scale but as we are seeing now with their housing market, draconian covid lockdowns and governmental regulations, that they are running on fumes with the engine light on.
> ..but it is in a boring office building

That is where their disruption strategy was. WeWork in hindsight had a brilliant idea. A readymade exciting, fun-filled work environment - the culture aspect. This would be virtually impossible to create by a single or handful of employees by themselves. Infact big companies struggle to create exciting culture for new age employees even with dedicated team and funds.

WeWork could have worked if it was managed well.

However, I have been on the receiving end of very good cold emails that led to productive business relationships. I have also sent such emails. To be clear, I believe this sort of service is valuable, if used right.

> If we suddenly weren't allowed to replace old-growth forests with mono-culture, pollute our groundwater, fill the earth with plastic, kill off a majority of animal species, and so forth, how much would the economy shrink?

But would it? Such a transition would create a massive number of jobs producing the alternatives.

A very small portion of the economy is spent on what people need, 80% of GDP is spent on wants. And if people want a clean environment more than they want the latest consumer crap, that means the clean environment is worth more in dollars, and so cleaning the environment grows the GDP.
