No, but because we should end means testing completely. I thought NHS meant you didn't have to do all the things we have to do here in the US.

A few years ago, I had to do an annual wellness exam so I could keep my health insurance "discount" at work. There was some miscommunication within the three parties: 1. Doctor's office 2. Lab 3. Insurance and I had to act like a mediator between them. I thought that was bad enough but NHS sounds worse now.
Swedes source their wood from Poland, Romania, and other countries where their money goes far. Why bother with domestic eco lunatics when all it takes is one flight and meeting with state forests representatives.
That claim is very specific to how you define market.

Most markets have never had more than 3-5 major competitors in them because beyond that it gets too hard for customers to differentiate between them, too hard to understand all the available brands etc.

But this depends on a lot on where you draw the boundaries of the market. There probably aren't more than 5 good Chinese restaurants within walking distance of where you live even in a city, for example. But over the whole city there are many more. There are only ~4 main cloud providers globally, but if you expand your definition of the market a bit further there are many more.

In practice for price competition to exist you don't seem to need more than 3-5 players. For example Oracle offer a generous free tier in the cloud space.
ANC uses destructive interference to quite literally cancel the sound waves coming from the outside. It reduces sound pressure by definition.
There have been quite a few new auto companies gaining popularity in the last few years.

As for farming I have no idea, but I also couldn't tell you who the biggest players in that industry are either.
I dare say we never-drinkers know a lot more about the drinking life we miss out on than you drinkers know about the never-drinking life you miss out on.

That's true of most minority positions, just like atheists generally know more about Christians than vice versa ... since you brought up religion, I'd say it is going with the drinking culture flow that is the equivalent of blindly staying with your parent's religion.

And just like with atheism vs. religion, we don't just always make the choice that's easy and comfortable. Like the guy above here who finds that he's more included socially when he drinks - yeah, no shit he is, and he'd be more included in a Pentecostal meeting too if he spoke in tongues. Should we all just go along with things that seem dishonest or insane to us, for the sake of fitting in?
You've said a lot without making any real points there.

How does allowing people to send small tipping amounts of Bitcoin for fun from their hot wallet mean "bad actors ruining things for the rest of us"?

>Do you seriously believe, that if Bitcoin becomes the global currency, that crime won't skyrocket due to people getting robbed relentlessly? You just need the PK dawg, and it's very easy to tell if you were told the truth - access to the wallet opens up.

And if people have geographically distributed multi-sig cold storage for the bulk of their wealth? Will they be getting "robbed relentlessly"? If you follow best practice and take self custody seriously you'll be fine so no I don't seriously believe people would be robbed relentlessly.

So I'll ask you too, what's your problem with other people sending small amounts of money P2P in a fun way to each other in a currency they prefer? Just don't use it if you don't like it.

>Bitcoiners have a sad, yet fascinating trend to talk about nothing but Bitcoin. Take a look at your comment history.

Again, what's your point? I'm stirred to reply to fiat brained financial authoritarianism, that's what I find weird and sad.
I was visiting London by myself last week. Few people I know were busy so I couldn't meet them.

In three free days I had, I went to coffee shops, restaurant, parks and a pub. Guess where I met new people. Not saying you can't in other places, but to start an interaction with a stranger is so much more relaxed in(front of) a pub. Sure I could go to that group of people in the park, but wouldn't be that a bit to intrusive? In the blues pub where I went, at least I know they all like the same music as me.

I had a chat with people who lived in the city their whole life. I had a chat with a person from the country with a similar name, the one others constantly mistake us for, I had a chat with a regular from a bar and someone who just arrived to the city. I chatted with someone who studied the same thing as me. I met someone who showed me a similar place couple of blocks away with whom I then walked and talked most of the night (in a park :) ).

And no one really expects you to drink. What is more, if you are not there at strange night hours, most of the people don't act that differently after two or three beers.

Of course I know I’m missing out on a lot. We all do. You reach peace and wisdom by acknowledging that you’re not gonna experience EVERYTHING. The question is what matters more to you. I decided and am happy that I chose to forego midnight escapades fueled by alcohol or the pursuit of it. In return I’ve gained more time when I’m at peace, more valuable time with friends, and one less vice to worry about.

I can't help but be reminded of this meme: https://ifunny.co/picture/big-real-estate-companies-intentio...

There is no circumstance in which it is more profitable to leave an apartment empty than to rent it out, and both speculators and developers understand this.

Other than that I don't disagree with you - there is a cottage industry around the 'housing only ever goes up' assumption, and a lot of legislative moats designed to ensure it stays that way. Until these are defeated - and I'm a lot less optimistic about the UK and Australia than the US on this - housing will sadly remain unaffordable for most.
Ignore clients who bring you more worries than money. Hire someone to answer these questions. If the income from such clients does not cover the salary of such a person, ignore such clients. Another approach is to create a template document describing your security practices based on an analysis of such questions, and send it in response to such questionnaires with a cover letter saying that you are very sorry, but answering the questions takes too much of your time and it'll be a pity to lose a client if this PDF is not enough for him. In any case, all that paper exists to cover someone's ass, no one will read your answers.

The sharp rise in inflation predates any kind of energy crisis. Inflation kicked off in 2021.

Energy didn't become a major issue until Ukraine was invaded.

Inflation was triggered by all the money printed during COVID getting into the economy once it opened up again.
Not only is there no drawback, in India iodised salt is mandatory. I'm guessing the language is because common salt lacks processing instead of having something adulterating it and is perfectly safe on its own.

Some fancy salts, like Himalayan rock salt, are not usually available iodised.
I'm a European and have seen the devastating effects of alcohol on both sides of my family. I can't imagine any positive effects that would be able to offset and I've never drank a drop in my life.
In the US most places are less concerned about the hitch and more about the vehicle itself. Even if the identical car is sold in Europe and rated to tow something hefty, it's probably not rated as such in the US and you'll have a hard time getting someone to rent you a trailer.

Part of the problem is that there are generally more restrictive speed limits on RVs and cars with trailers in Europe (and those limits are generally more stringently enforced). e.g. Spain sets a limit of 90 kph for a car with a trailer while South Dakota sets the limit at 130 kph.

She may have earned the house to some degree (the article outlines a number of government subsidies which make this doubtful), but she definitely didn’t earn the land value increase.

I’m reminded of this quote:

> Landlords grow rich in their sleep without working, risking or economizing. The increase in the value of land, arising as it does from the efforts of an entire community, should belong to the community and not to the individual who might hold title.
Pooling would have been more overhead than allocation + deallocation? Do you have any relevant readings?

No idea how to do it in java but a few pointers ought to be enough. You can also omit clearing the memory area between allocations for things that aren't security sensitive, if that is done in java, which I would assume.
Or, if you want to completely abandon the Google ecosystem, GNU/Linux phones are an option, Librem 5 and Pinephone.

> Serious question: why though? I can't think of a backend system where a single regression could bring the whole thing down. If something blows it up, it rarely takes the whole application down. What's this scenario exactly? Maybe I'm only thinking of certain types of applications, but a single failure somewhere needn't bring the whole thing down.

Suppose you have a web based CRUD that processes HTTP requests. To do this, it connects to a DB. There is one thread pool for HTTP requests, there's another thread pool for DB connections. Suppose there's an issue that causes a DB connection to hang (either a really slow query, or an issue with the DB thread pooling solution itself). All of the sudden, the DB thread pool is slowly getting exhausted, until no more queries can run because everything is hanging. Soon after, the HTTP request thread pool fills up, because requests are waiting for processing but none is being done. Users either see their requests frozen, or, if you're packaging both the API and the front end resources in the same deployment unit, soon nobody can even load the static resources of the page. I've seen this happen with a Java web app that used an old DB pooling solution that caused a prod outage years ago. Had to rip it out and replace it with something else.

That said, the same could happen with stuff like scheduled processes conflicting, memory exhaustion, CPU utilization, disk usage and so on. Now, there shouldn't be anything preventing you from running multiple instances of monolithic codebases in parallel, though sometimes systems aren't written with that in mind (e.g. no DB queues/RabbitMQ for messaging/scheduled processes, no assumption of multiple instances accessing the same data, in-memory caches instead of Redis and so on) and you end up with a singleton application instead, which is worse than just a monolith. Either way, planning for components/systems failing and being able to recover from that is almost always a good idea (health checks, automated restarts, some horizontal scaling, uptime notifications and alerting, some instrumentation like APM), unless you're really short on time.

None of that means that you should start with microservices though, unless your whole team is really comfortable with that. Monoliths are okay, as are modular monoliths (same codebase, deploy different features for app instances with feature flags, like FEATURE_ENABLE_API, FEATURE_ENABLE_SCHEDULED_PROCESSES etc.).
It took me only one gig with an earplugs to start using them religiously, carrying them with me at all times on my keychain, same way you mentioned.

Once you put them out during a gig and hear just how LOUD the place is, is really a strange sensation.

He's lying.

Worker wages have been stagnant for a decade plus. Even the recent increases have been vastly outpaced by increases in prices AS EVIDENCED BY INCREASING PROFIT at companies that are increasing wages.

The problem is there is no price competition because most sectors of the economy are oligopolistic and have no interest in competing with each other one price at the moment.
> The average man is taller than the average woman.

Yes, but that was kinda my point. "Taller" is a comparative trait not an intrinsic one. If you are the last person on earth, things like your height, your test level, how you keep your beard etc remain. But you are not taller than anyone.

> Traits doesn’t mean only one sex has it

That is how the dude above me defined it, hence my complaint, thanks for agreeing with me here.

> But the levels are the traits difference between them.

Yes, but also those traits individually are not enough. Similar to Species in an animal group, what we look for are clusters. Clusters of traits that are masculine/feminine etc makes us read a human as feminine or masculine.

> It doesn’t seem that you’re arguing that there’s no difference.

My argument is that masculine and feminine are mostly made up social constructs that we mold based on many times silly stuff. Like people in croatia used to ride a horse with a necktie to not get swea on their shirts, and the king of france liked it so much he copied it but made it expensive with silk, then rich twats in france followed and 400 years later all men in banking wear ties, as peak masculine work uniform. There is nothing "masculine" about a french king copying a necktie and yet culturally it is enshrined.

So I was arguing that the position that masculine is something women tend not to do/or have is wrong. That is not how masculine or feminine things start, they start at random many times and culturally stick.

I didn’t say I never went to a bar or pub. I still end up in one once a year or two. Every time it’s just wasted. My friends say less interesting things more slurred.

It sprang from old mainframe implementations - there's a 2002 (??) Virtual Ring Buffer in Phil Howard's LibH collection (2007 snapshots of 2002 copyright code based on circa 1980 implementations IIRC):

* https://web.archive.org/web/20140625200016/http://libh.slash...

VRB:- These functions implement a basic virtual ring buffer system which allows the caller to put data in, and take data out, of a ring buffer, and always access the data directly in the buffer contiguously, without the caller or the functions doing any data copying to accomplish it.

Apple has lots of competitors and doesn't even have dominant market share.

Google is hard to compete with due to network effects, because they don't often miss tricks, and because they've invested so heavily in core R&D for so many years. The classical story about competition is that a big rich company becomes complacent and stops improving their products, opening a gap for new companies to enter, but Google hasn't really done that, they continue to tweak and try new things (arguments about search quality specifically for precise programmer queries aside).

Amazon retail is hard to compete with because it's not a very good business. They keep margins extremely low for not entirely rational reasons, which is why most of their profit now comes from AWS. AWS meanwhile does have competitors.
It isn't possible to trust or fix proprietary software, same goes even more for proprietary firmware. All firmware needs to be open source.
There has been a smaller advance in actual crash safety since 2000 than there was between 1980 and 2000. The only big leap forward since then was rollover standards where vehicles above a certain weight must be able to support their entire gross weight on their roof. Essentially any car designed and certified after 1998 is safe enough in an actual impact to prevent death or major injury barring structural failure like rust that compromises the crash cell and crumple zones. Most modern safety features introduced since the early 1980s are actually proactive rather than reactive in that they aim to prevent errant behaviour rather than protect from dangerous situations. Blind spot monitoring, lane change assist, and backup cameras for example are all proactive versus seatbealts, airbags, and crumple zones which are reactive.

2004 is around the last time we had mechanically simple cars with majority reactive safety systems and cars made before that cutoff date are getting increasingly more expensive to both enthusiasts and used purchasers.
"Excess rent" is economics jargon for something akin to "selling something for more than its fair value". The idea with "rent-seeking" is therefore that of seeking opportunities to take advantage of or even create market distortions that work in your favor, allowing you to capture a greater share of surplus value than you would otherwise obtain in a theoretically-fair market.
That's a particular type of pub and one that is often hard to find in a town center.

> Watching everyone delegate all access control to Google and Microsoft is… I don’t even know what to say.

Well really, the proper body to issue (digital) identity is the government, which already issues driver's licenses, passports, etc. Google and Microsoft aren't the best bodies to issue identity, they're just the ones that are picking up the ball when the public body best positioned to do so is inactive.
> Does it make sense to use nix during the image build process to precisely define dependencies I want to have in the resulting container?

Using a dockerfile with a step like "RUN nix ..."? You can, but it strikes me as a cumbersome way of doing things. Mitchell H describes this way of doing things here: https://mitchellh.com/writing/nix-with-dockerfiles

Whereas, I'd reckon the more idiomatic thing to do is to build the Docker image with Nix code. -- You're going to get a precisely defined environment to share across workstation/CI/etc. Some example Nix code for building Docker images is here https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-supp...
I'm not sure how common it is in other places, but in Belgium most of the bars and clubs have a visible screen which always shows the current decibels in the venue. Some of them have have free earplugs to take and concert venue have dispensers with concert specific earplug to buy.
