Fascinating. I was just a kid in 1964 when I learned about fluidics. My December issue of Scientific American had an article on fluidics featured on the cover and I always wondered why there never seemed to be any applications of the devices described in that article. In particular, the use of fluidic logic gates and latches, etc.
I thought that until the uptick in homicides of the past few years, since there wasn't an increase in lead at the start of the 21st century. I imagine it has more to do with incarcerating nearly 2% of the population, unfortunately.

Too bad the capital requirements upfront are so expensive for nuclear and literally no one wants to fund a project that will cost at least $8 billion, won't be online for a decade, and the power it be will produce is already more expensive than that of smaller renewable projects.

Who knows maybe once renewable market penetration is nearly maxed out and if storage tech somehow hasn't caught up enough despite the great strides being made, the economics won't be so terrible for the GREENEST BASELOAD.

It is stupid, because it just makes sense to have agriculture in a fertile area like the river delta in NL. And it doesn’t make sense to focus on protecting the very species that are not able to flourish without human intervention.

So, focus on protecting species that do well in nitrogen poor areas in the areas that are actually nitrogen poor.

If we move production around to average everything out we’ll end up with a more homogeneous Europe, less production and less biodiversity.
can you break up your migrations into smaller chunks that can be run incrementally?

In PostgreSQL, you can use the "CONCURRENTLY" keyword with the "ALTER TABLE" statement to perform certain operations without locking the table and without requiring downtime.

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD INDEX CONCURRENTLY index_name (column_name);

DynamoDB offers a feature called "Online Indexing" that allows you to create or delete a global secondary index (GSI) without any downtime to your application. This feature allows you to add, remove, or modify an index on a table without any impact on read or write traffic to the table.

aws dynamodb update-table --table-name table_name --attribute-definitions AttributeName=attribute_name,AttributeType=S --global-secondary-index-updates '[{"Create":{"IndexName":"index_name","KeySchema":[{"AttributeName":"attribute_name","KeyType":"HASH"}],"Projection":{"ProjectionType":"ALL"},"ProvisionedThroughput":{"ReadCapacityUnits":5,"WriteCapacityUnits":5}}}]' --online-index-upgrade True

aws dynamodb update-table --table-name table_name --global-secondary-index-updates '[{"Delete":{"IndexName":"index_name"}}]' --online-index-upgrade True

Elasticsearch offers a feature called "Zero Downtime Indexing" that allows you to create, update or delete an index without any downtime or interruption to the search functionality of the index.

To create an index with zero downtime in Elasticsearch, you can use the "alias" feature

PUT /new_index
{
"aliases": {
"my_search_alias": {}
}
}

After indexing data into the new index, you can switch the alias to the new index:

POST /_aliases
{
"actions": [
{
"add": {
"index": "new_index",
"alias": "my_search_alias"
}
},
{
"remove": {
"index": "old_index",
"alias": "my_search_alias"
}
}
]
}
There were reports last year that per square meter Munich is more expensive for property than London (but less than Paris) https://www.tellerreport.com/business/2022-08-26-real-estate... - that probably covers a range of prices of course, and other costs are lower.

Nobody is able to afford to buy/live in your property anymore.

If you don‘t find buyers/renters how will you manage to pay off your investment credit you took out at 95%credit rate while only covering contract signing fees at ~1% interest with 10year stable interest.

Once interest is adjusted after 10years to 4-5% you (property owner that can’t find any high paying renters) are fucked
Elon Musk's vendetta against the mass media is selective but welcome imo. The 'free press' has long given up its role in speaking truth to power and instead has become an amplification organ for government policy, especially foreign policy, where editorial seems to be vetted by the State department, whilst sub editorial infiltrated by spies

Musk is an entirely inadequate messenger (much like Trump in 2016) but somebody has got to equalise / neutralise the propaganda, even if it is with often comparable BS
£100k in the UK a top 10% wage for the country, but the wages in the UK are massively skewed towards London and the South East.

As for the tax, we have progressive taxation in the UK. Earning £100k, you'd pay 0% on the first 12.5k, 25% on the next 70k or so, and 45% on the last 27.5k (numbers are from memory so they might be a little off). High wage earners are not giving up half their income in tax. That'd be silly.

You should pay enough to live in the area you work in. If that means that the jobs pay more than someone that needs the degree to work in their field, the person with the degree is being underpaid as well.

FWIW: Some of the garbage men, janitors, retail employees, and others working in "unskilled" jobs likely have degrees too. This is even more likely if they are immigrants.

It seems to be a tactic some nefarious companies are resorting to. They dish out titles like candy to capture cheaper labour and to "upcycle" people in their career ladder.

Managing Director, Head Of Research, Chief of Staff,etc.

Then those roles have vice or assistant as modifiers to multiply how many roles they have.

Then they go further, they split their company units into actual companies and group it under a "Group". So now each one of those entities has their own CEO, Director, Managing Director, Head of, etc.

You know it's bad when a single company of barely 500 people has 5 CEOs, 50 C-level roles and countless meaningless titles given to downright incompetent individuals.

Unfortunately encountered one such company that I won't name. Needless to say, they were a crappy client.

"to compete with superpowers (i.e. for clout),..."

Don't you understand that we are not here for show off and compete? We are competing against superpowers called poverty and societal backwardness, security of merchant navy, and all, not WEST. West is our ally and vice versa.

In fact, I have given multiple examples like Ed-Tech platforms, internet penetration for MSME, and all, but you won't listen only to come back to square one - superficial effort against superpowers. If this is not judgmental, then what is it? If this is not racist, then what is it?

The project reports are required to detail the outline the intended outcomes. Now another round is made for such outcomes to be compare at state and national level. Multiple permissions and meeetings are done here about this. In between all of these, consultants from McKinsey and BCG are brought in along with experts to assess the practicality of claims. This is not enough for you? Oh, wait. you are ignorant, how would you know?

"There is no reason for you to have taken my comment so personally..."
Why not? You say Indians are inefficient and not intelligent enough to have their own problems solved. That is racist. It doesn't matter if you talk about a country like India or India itself. You are racist to talk about a country like India then, that is all. It still makes you racist is what I want to say.

I was just thinking this. Know many NHS tech people in my circle. None earn 70k+.

Contractors potentially but they'd generally be on 100k+ if the rates are at all competitive. Though contracting has dwindled in recent times because of the IR35 legislation and org budgets.

I'm very much on the lookout for IT contracting gigs and don't come across many at all for the NHS.
Might be a matter of 'job title inflation' - team is small (2 other analysts) and likely is a subdivision of what is a substantial department. Also, I location is potentially in Darlington, I wonder whether that is the main location given the salary level (55K in London is super low)
And the irony is that most people in the country complain about other people breaking the law. When they themselves do it, it's because the government is s** or "it's just the system...".

I'm more worried about losses of incentives that fund development or the use of it as gatekeeping that will limit entry. Ie, Europe's plans or getty's lawsuit.

Yes, there is a massive amounts of money, incentive, and mindpower to ward them off. But they're also just mostly letting the doomers run free without pushback. I suppose it could work, if it's to ignore the doomers as they'll make themselves look foolish. But theirs a lot of incentives to attack ai research, from "it will take your jobs", to doing it out of pure spite to hurt tech.

Eg. payments to newspaper's is an example of fairly recent line that had money behind it and partially succeeded. It could get stupid too, such as Australia saying linking needed payment.

Most of the main barrier is fear from US/China about letting the other get the upper hand.

This article sounded reasonable until I got to this:

>Remember Barbara, she of the 70 sub-tenants? She spent 40 years “as a local artist specializing in clay pots and stoneware”. While I’m sure her pots are nice, there may have been better uses for this unit, three blocks from the FiDi, during SF’s finance, legal, and tech booms over the past few decades.

What entitles finance, legal, or tech folk to that apartment over pottery artisanry?
Ah, that makes more sense.

From a commercial perspective, wouldn't putting more money into heavy launch vehicles and reusability make more sense? Russia's space business will take a hit with the sanctions and that leaves the market open for a price competitive provider other than SpaceX?

My complaint here is that it took C more than 30 years ... I much prefer Rust's approach

That's an odd complaint. Rust didn't spring forth fully formed from the ether, it stands on the shoulders of C (and other giants of PL history). 30 years ago you couldn't use Rust at all because it didn't exist.

The reason the committee doesn't just radically change C in all these nice ways to catch up to Rust is because it would be incompatible. Then you wouldn't have fixed C, you'd just have two languages: "old C", which all of the existing C code in the world is written in, and "new C", which nothing is written in. At that point why not just start over from scratch, like they did with Rust?

If someone is overweight, but otherwise healthy (which I suspect is the case for a lot of young people, as they haven't been overweight long enough for it to take a big toll on the body) can they not go ahead and enrol them and then whip them into shape during training?

I earn well above that and my effective tax rate is well below 50%. The top marginal rate is 47% except for a narrow band due to phase out of personal allowance, but my effective rate is lower.

With respect to VAT, it nudges my total tax paid up about 4 percentage points. Total, including VAT, NI, and council tax is still well below 50%.

Remember, you're not going to spend nearly all of your pre tax earnings on VAT rated goods and services, given you pay tax and housing andany other things which does not incur VAT.
Could it simply be, that these types of jobs (high rank, low pay) are reserved to wealthy people? It might be so that the only ones that can apply are people for which the salary is a mere formality - it's just listed because it might be mandatory for the paperwork. Kind of similar to how artificially high housing cost is some sort of gatekeeping/community control and not actually reflecting demand in some places...

What the job actually gets you (mandate, network, access, decision power, ...) is the real value money couldn't buy otherwise.

But then again this argument might be wrong, because if it were the case why list the job in the first place?
I think it’s a bit hard to make direct comparisons because the US is more varied in things like tax policy or having multiple important cities.

For a while, the strong pound made it seem like people in the U.K. were well paid compared to most developed countries (not the US which tends to have higher pay than basically any other medium or large country) but I think this was mostly just the strong pound and purchasing power wasn’t much higher in the U.K.

The pound has fallen a lot in the last decade and I think various numbers like pay have been somewhat sticky and not really gone up to match the increased cost of imports.

To attempt to make a comparison, if you live in central London vs Manhattan, tax rates will be comparable (maybe more so if you double both gross salaries), rents in Manhattan will be something like 2x (probably more) based on apartment type but you’ll potentially get something bigger/nicer in NY (ie partly it is about a difference in the average unit, but if all you can get is a large apartment, you have to pay for all of it so controlling for such qualities isn’t so relevant). Rent controls mean that the supply of apartments is less than might be expected based on the number of housing units In Manhattan. Groceries (in Manhattan) are more expensive, as are things like restaurants. The comparison doesn’t feel totally crazy to me.

Other US cities may be different though, eg I don’t know how the taxes/rent would work out in SF or the Bay Area or Seattle or Chicago. There isn’t really much of an alternative to London in the U.K. in the same way that there are many ‘top’ cities in the US and tax policy is much more uniform between locations.
Correct. It's a binary metric. Did the number go up, yes/no (kept job / not).
Please show us the relevant paper and then show the link between that paper and changes in policy, because I've never heard of such a paper and nor has anyone else who investigated where this sudden change in mask policy came from.

Reality is, respiratory viruses and masks have been around a long time. There was very little that was novel about SARS-CoV-2 despite attempts to claim otherwise, and prior understanding was correct: masks did nothing and that's clearly visible in the data. They were forced on everyone for political and ideological reasons, not scientific ones.

It wasn't!? Because lockdowns sure seemed like quarantining everyone to the rest of us!

> This is especially true when talking about public figures - Sam Altman in his recent interviews has been incredibly diplomatic about Elon, despite the fact that it's pretty public knowledge Elon tried to take over OpenAI and now loudly disparages it.

OpenAI was co-founded by Altman and Musk together at the same time, with a huge amount of Musk's money, without which it would've never gotten off the ground in the first place. Also please give a citation for this "public knowledge". I'd counter that it's instead pretty public knowledge that OpenAI basically stole Elon's money on a promise of making an AI company that wouldn't lock things behind proprietary walls, but now has turned out to be the complete opposite. Sam Altman pulled a fast one on Musk and then pushed him out of the company.

I got one of those Epson ink tank printers which is pretty nice. Because it doesn't have (much of) a razors and blades ink model, you have to pay a significant amount of money up front however.
The Treasury issues around 15bn GBP (~18bn USD) of bonds every month. There are multimillion pound "opportunities" to leak information about which bonds will be issued (because that'll cause that curve sector temporarily to cheapen up). Paying the paltry sum of 55k for someone who can reasonably be expected to have access to this information, is a signal that they don't take seriously the risk of being fleeced for 2 or more orders of magnitude more than that every month.

Difficult to make a direct comparison, but taxes are very similar to Germany, salaries are pretty much the same for white-collar IT work. But IT is not terribly well-paid in Germany to begin with. I've seen people earning 3k per month in a senior IT position for a bank. But the same money goes a lot longer in Spain, especially outside big cities. The sweet spot is to freelance for foreign companies and spend the money in Spain.
What skews the comparison is Spain is surprisingly empty. 70% of the country the same population density as northern Sweden. But a lot of people live in these small remote places where there are basically no permanent jobs apart from odd jobs, fruit picking and working in the post office. Think of a remote US mining town, without the mining :)
