Sparta was a incredibly brutal army masquerading as a state. Like all great powers they were successful until they weren't.

It's weird how we forget Athenian brutality in the whole Athens/Sparta dichotomy. There Melian dialogue is literally them shaking down their neighbors and then brutally murdering them drug cartel style, and Sparta won the Peloponnesian war by being more diplomatic. We uncritically buy into both of their propaganda about themselves
He wrote "The FDA was loathe to approve initial mRNA human trials". The implication seems to be that if not for this added delay, this potential treatment would be further along.
>It's not what Godel was hoping for. Godel was hoping to add some support to that shaky Jenga piece at the bottom so that they could continue building their beautiful tower taller and taller, consisting of structures ever more elegant.

Gödel was a Lutheran Platonist who was personally morally opposed to Logicism and his contemporary mathematical program. He was an odd man, really, but he was in no respect a booster of, or a person working to promote Hilbert's program. He was tearing it down very deliberately.
What a fascinating subject! I'll definitelly check this out in the following weeks.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing the "Copenhagen interpretation of Ethics". I've thought many times about this problem, didn't know it had a name.

Comes to mind Dante Alighieri: "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in a period of moral crisis, maintain their neutrality."
Boole didn’t introduce propositional logic; what he did was come up with an algebra that encodes propositional logic.

Abstract algebra was a new snd developing thing back then, the idea that you can generalize from numbers and addition and multiplication to other structures that have something like numbers and addition and multiplication.

Boole found that if you take the two-element set {0, 1} and choose saturating addition as the addition-like operation and normal multiplication as the multiplication-like operation, you get an algebra (specifically a ring) that is isomorphic to propositional logic with its AND and OR operations.

So the idea that the number 1 can represent true and the number 0 false was Boole’s insight and the foundation of modern digital circuits.

Fair point, I might not made the other aspect clear enough. This database includes data points of any kind. From tabular about financial planning to health data to calendar and time management. Not only can it hold data, but also modify (calc) entries. Things can be automated.

What this leads to ('what I imagine'), is a modular system. Very bare bone in its core form. Data is processed with editors for each data type. Editors come in the form of addons to the system. Data (and meta, params, etc) would always have to remain human readable - comparable to MarkDown or something. As you must've figured by now, I don't have a definitive picture in my head. All of this must sound very delusional or dreamy ... :)

Personally, I would love something that combines a life dashboard (show me how things are going, what I can work on, etc) and a personal assistant (someone to help me plan, make sure I go the dentist, review my health insurance, renew my car license, etc. Ideally it should give an overview of all key life things: finances, health, family, will, etc. Insights should be short term, medium term and long term. I should also be able to reflect on historic data as well and ideally compare with other people my age. And then finally, the dashboard & assistant should help me prioritize things by giving specific/focused instructions.

Sparta was a totalitarian state well beyond the wildest dreams of Hitler or Stalin. Bertrand Russell does an excellent job The History of Western Philosophy of showing how depraved they were (as does Devereaux), how they influenced Plato (himself a disgruntled Athenian aristocrat who resented his social class' loss of power when Athens became a democracy, then collaborated with the Spartan occupation of Athens after the latter lost the Peloponnesian War).

This article is pretty clueless, as most people.

Backbone is hugely supported by muscles. Slipped disc basically means there were no muscles to prevent it. Posture, healthy lifestyle etc is hugely irrelevant. Also typical exercise like running, lifting etc does not help.

As a developer, you should train torso muscles to protect your backbone. Pretty complicated regime, you need good personal trainer for that.

> "B-but Thalidomide!"

This is the reflexive response to every common-sense proposal to roll back the regulatory burden.

I'd raise a couple of points in response:

First, Thalidomide was never approved in the USA -- for safety reasons. The mechanisms that were in place at the time did their job.

Second, the response to Thalidomide was overblown and indeed downright hysterical. "Better to let 100,000 people die of neglect than allow one person to suffer an awful drug reaction" is not rational policy.

> That data is practically worthless.

Enough "practically" worthless data, and you get somewhere. It's a matter of quantity. Obtaining "hiqh quality" data is often unethical in medical practice.
You want to feel like you own your hardware and OS or you want to actually own it?

I honestly don't know how anyone can use AWS properly without some kind of IAC. For me its terraform and I swear AWS will update one small thing and we end up chasing down the most frustrating issues in the infrastructure.

Its made all that much worse how awful their documentation is on most of their services too.
> It's about money. It's not about updates.

It can be both. There is an ideological purity one tends towards when designing any system. Often times, that aesthetic sense of an engineer is right. Frequently, it's orthogonal to what customers need. SaaS isn't a fit in every case. But it's far from a universal money grab.
I've often encountered software that feels like it was designed by people who don't have to use it to do work, and not necessarily because they're engaging in class conflict (though it can certainly appear that way based on the painfully flawed software people can be forced to tolerate).

The worst system was a DOS-based point-of-sale system in a restaurant---kept around way beyond the 'age of DOS'. The main gimmick is that it had a wired light touch pen (I think it worked like a classic Nintendo gun) for selection. It gave the illusion of innovation/ease of use, but was extremely cumbersome and required a good amount of experience to avoid mistakes.

I also think trying to pin down things as strictly class warfare every time can muddy problem areas. Institutions realistically do gain some functional productivity by having people specialize and having defined roles, but having them too separated and specialized can also create problems. You can also have a lazy human problem, where people don't want to do the work that isn't directly associated with their role, and so on. There is also a lot in the bschool lit about how different business structures contribute to these problems too.
>Sparta has also become a political rallying cry, including by members of the extreme right who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Why does this always get brought up in articles where it's not relevant? Is my takeaway supposed to be that anybody who names anything after the Spartans is associated with a bunch of idiotic boomers who were way too butthurt over losing that election?

Also TFA's cited proof for this is a link to a Twitter thread about something questionable Joe Biden said regarding gun control? I cannot even speculate why OP would tell such an really verifiable lie, did he think nobody would click on his links?

I’ve lived in various west coast cities since 2011 and while a “horde of drug addicted zombies” roaming the streets is not literally true (like out of a zombie apocalypse film or something), you can’t deny that there is a significant problem in certain areas of these cities. In the same way that hyperbolizing the descriptor undermines the point, imagining that it isn’t a problem and just something you deal with is the other side of the same coin.

>… my answer would be to greatly reduce inequality

We’ve been screaming the same tune for over a decade at this point. Equality is a problem but it’s a parallel issue. Doing the same policies, but louder, is not a good faith proposal because it’s just repetition of what doesn’t work. Many, and indeed I would posit most, do not want your or my help to live as a “contributing member of society”. Some are so far gone they’re not in the position to even make a choice.

Desegregation occurring when the push to dismantle government run services was gaining traction caused the loss of public pools. Americans acquired an irrational fear of government in the 70s and 80s. We lost public pools, publicly run ambulance service, publicly run garbage collection.

> Sparta declined was that this severely limited the size of armies they could field.

Agreed. That is a scalability problem, it does not mean they were a failure at large in every aspect.

Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Lamborghini products also don't scale as much as Toyota products but many people aspire to have them.

> their military merit was, overall, rather mediocre.

Their merit is studied in military academies around the world. Those are the types of studies that actually matter and can be tested in real situations of life and death.

> Sparta was a totalitarian state well beyond the wildest dreams of Hitler or Stalin

It was also a polis with rudimentary constitutional checks on its dyadic monarchy and a public ekklesia that notionally approved legislation.

> a disgruntled Athenian aristocrat who resented his social class' loss of power when Athens became a democracy

This is true. He also had prescient complaints about direct democracy as Athens practiced it. Of course, at that time we didn't know direct democracy doesn't work--it careens towards partisan overdrive and ricocheting majoritarianism.

I would hate to ask the author this, as it seems cruel, but is the FDA denying him access? As he points out, Moderna has two drug trials going. The FDA "right to try" page[0] clearly spells out that Moderna could give him unproven medicine currently in a clinical trial under the right to try laws. So Moderna could let him into one of the two studies, or give him the medicine under the right to try laws if it rejects him.

Likely, Moderna doesn't want him to take the drugs because they will probably be ineffective this late in the cancer stage. It doesn't want its treatment to be associated with his death.

Are you saying deadlifts don’t train torso muscles?
I don't understand all of the hate in this thread. Most of the networking systems provided by AWS are as-needed. It may not be elegant, but it gets the job done. Plus a lot of the AWS-specific components map directly to real networking concepts: AZ: cage; VPC: VLAN; PL: cross-account p2p VPN (more or less). Most everything else are normal networking constructs that you would see in a typical large-scale environment.

The company I work for has a fairly complex global network, connected at many of our PoPs to AWS via DX. We utilize all of what you see in this diagram and each component serves a well-defined purpose.

If this diagram looks overly complex to you, it's likely because you either aren't utilizing all of these, or at least not for their intended purpose, or you aren't a network engineer.
Undifferentiated heavy lifting. Companies don't have to train their engineers and find talent that requires deep knowledge of tcp/ip and hardware routers and clean up the mess when they leave and maintain them. Offload all of the "undifferentiated" components to AWS and you focus on what you are good at, your business.

I like the idea, but I really dislike the price model, it seems like every search is counted, even if it's the same 3 times in a row.
I often type some common name as a navigation tool, that still counts as a search, even if I wrote twitter in the search box.

This will essentially increase the price for no actual reason, since what I perceive as "search" doesn't fall in those categories.

Anyway, just frustrated with that so far.

I'm not surprised because I was aware that the main reason for the Amish opposition to technology is technology's effect on Amish social life, and it is easy for me to imagine Amish leaders' concluding that solar panels have only a very minor effect on that (relative to something like television).
Again, this is a fine argument for making the FDA more effective and for coordinating with international partners, but full of holes as an argument for rubber stamping. And I still don't see why a rubber stamp serves your purposes better.

If you think the UK, European, and Canadian regulators are competent, then you must believe in the possibility of a competent regulator, right? Let's just have one of those, instead of a differently-incompetant regulator who serves as a rubber stamp.

And if we can't, then I'd rather they were too conservative than that they allowed too many drugs on the market.
Well a check is authorization to withdraw a specific amount (which you can verify is reasonable) after a specific time (which you can verify the funds will be good).

The Gilead stock is worth 4x today what it was worth in 2012, before they had the cure. It is better than the average "big-pharma" (ex: Pfizer). The stock plateaued because they couldn't follow up, but before you look at the dip, you should look at the massive raise before it.
