Huh? I think this reaction from you could be an avoidance strategy of some sorts.

Multiple other comments are genuinely curious how individuals like yourself hold such bizarre views around markets but yet are likely technically very skilled. It’s a curious phenomenon.

I don’t have any issue in real life and don’t have any “stalker tendencies”, people check other accounts posts and histories commonly and it’s expected. I was saying I haven’t.

I’m both a landlord and buyer and seller of real estate. Let’s say I follow your recommendation of selling or leasing below the market price, then I would have multiple buyers or tenants to chose from. What would you recommend my selection criteria between them be?
Why would you be?
Did you sell the user the app?
If not I can't see how it would be commercial
That doesn't make sense, do you have data for that? Best I can find is that we (the US) has the ability to store somewhere around 1% of our generation capacity, rounding up. Here in California we spend absurd amounts maintaining gas plants that only run during high demand periods, despite only having 6.6GW worth of storage for a state using 300 TWh per year. We are only 13% to our 2045 goal, so if it was cost-effective to do, we would already be doing it.

Without the storage, all of that day time generation is pointless, we need either gas or nuclear at night anyways, so the cost isn't really affected.
I find the concept of "productivity" fascinating. It must be measured in money because (positive) productivity means someone is paying for what you are doing.

And in that sense you cannot measure the productivity of a single person alone, you must measure what people are willing to pay for their output.

If you produce exactly the same as you did last month but nobody is buying it this month (or ever again) it means your productivity is zero. Is that true? Or does it mean your productivity is negative?

Or is it the case that when you work for someone else your productivity can be measured by the salary they are paying you? That would mean that "productivity is in the eye of the beholder". Your productivity as seen by you is different than your productivity measured by your employer.
Seems fitting to leave this here:

I think the author goes a little too far here in equating the monetary value of salt with how valuable salt was. Salt had serious religious and mythological value. In nearly every single culture salt is said to ward off demons. Salt was used in courting rituals where new couples would process their love by licking the same salt rock. In some cultures, salt was part of the burial process. There isn’t a single salt production site in the world that isn’t named something like “salt place” or “place where the salt comes from.” Sure, the fact that salt was involved in all these traditions and rituals probably indicates that salt was generally available to most people, but clearly it was still very important to them.

If you’re wondering why salt was so mythologically important, just go over to your counter, put some salt in your hand, lick it, and try to imagine how you’d describe the taste to someone who’s never tasted it before. You can’t. Salt is its own thing and there’s nothing else like it.

It’s really difficult when one of the political parties spent all of 2020 calling to defund police and has made no effort to announce that they were wrong or that they won’t do it again. Makes these kinds of moves feel hollow.
Correct. I would be perfectly fine with some amount of control and liability proportional to the size of the company, excluding tiny ones as it is often the case.

With this new act, even selling 100€/month of support for a piece of software you are contributing to makes you subject to the full force of the bill (and the full force includes scary numbers, millions, with zero information on how precise amounts will be calculated).

We can only hope that it is not voted in this sorry state.
At this point I'm pretty convinced that ads are damaging to mental health (at least the ones we see today). Modern advertising normalizes consumerism, drives down our attention span, and overloads us with blinking lights and exciting sounds causing us to, IMO, existing in a much higher general state of stress than previous generations.

I'm no mental health professional but I suspect this period of advertising will be looked back on in a similar way to leeching and leaded gasoline.
Thanks for responding, really appreciated.

> made a prediction with high confidence

Do you somehow track the amount of false positives these predictions generate? How do you tune the prediction to not generate too many false positives?

> but in real life, you absolutely need to be proactive

Why is Microsoft the only provider who needs to do such proactive blocking? Why don't you need to do that for email addresses associated with Office 365?

> I think you should give me even more detailed feedback since there’s not much I can do except give a vague high level explanation unless you help me by being specific.

My story is very much the same as for everybody else having the same trouble, including the person whose blog post sparked this discussion: A root server for personal use located in the data center of a mid-sized hoster, running a mail server as part of its duties. In my case the whole mail setup runs on IP-addresses separate from everything else. Mail volume to Microsoft would probably be on average 1-2 emails per month. No issues whatsoever getting emails delivered to other mail providers, only to Microsoft. This whole setup is in place since several years.

For me, it's about screen real estate, not looks. More pixels is more usable space, until you have to start scaling things up for comfort. I find a 27 inch 4k monitor to be comfortable without scaling, but I think it's just about the limit for me, and I expect that the PPI limit varies from person to person.
> First, nuclear requires very large corporations.

Nuclear power plants can be state-owned, and commonly are outside the US. For example, all Canadian nuclear power reactors are owned by provincial governments (about half of Ontario's reactors are on long term lease to a private operator under a public-private partnership deal, but the reactors are still government owned). In France, the company which owns and operates all the reactors in the country is majority owned by the French state.

Requiring generating assets to be owned and operated by private enterprises seems to be a primarily American phenomenon.

There is an excellent book that covers the topic: The Fabric of Civilization, by Virginia Postrel. The part most amazing to me was the pyramid effect of fabric production in the days before mechanization - 20 spinners per weaver producing thread, 80,000 spinners near Manchester alone, thousands of weavers turning thread into fabric, etc., and as
the spinning jenny and later the power loom came along, employment and economic patterns changed drastically, giving us the Luddites and similar movements.

Does anyone know how this would be used in practice? An example would be useful because words like "tool" and "event" in this context are too abstract to make it clear how this is intended to be used.
> I know. It is incredibly dishonest to use Chernobyl as an argument against nuclear power.

Why did you do it then?

I didn't.

Also, the argument that "event x is not valid because it can't happen this way anymore" is as useless as the initial promise of safety. Some things don't happen this way. Others can still happen, and it can still end up being disastrous. There is always the human and nature factors. You just can't ignore them. Sure they are unlikely, but they still can happen and all those unlikely things that can happen to renewable sources are just by far less terrible than what can happen if you have a nuclear reactor around.

This is why your number games will never end up being fruitful. People who usually play those games accuse their adversaries as ignorant, when in fact they are the ignorant ones.

I think I must be misunderstanding. The article makes it seem like the user of open source code is responsible for making sure it is suitable and they are liable for when it fails. Doesn't that mean that someone who merely releases code onto GitHub will, in fact, not be liable, since it is the user of said code that is liable?

As far as

> when faced with a choice between being liable for their own code or being liable for open source code, most companies will choose to write their own code. If so, that would be a net harm to open source and user freedom

goes, even if that is true (I'm not really convinced) it doesn't really matter. What matters is finding the correct answer to "who is responsible" to which the answer can't be "nobody". And if it can't be nobody, then it must be somebody. And if it must be somebody, it absolutely shouldn't be some random guy who never specifically signed off on your usage of their open source code.

Would windows or whatever host operating system be liable potentially for the programs running on it even if they are open sourced programs?
I never really thought of farmers markets as a location for efficiency in the economy. Normally you are shutting down a street, hauling product in small trucks directly from an upstate farm, and having 1-2 staffers per product type make direct customer sales in a non-refrigerated tent. It's pretty objectively a waste of energy, money, and time if all you are looking for is sustenance. But I think people with the means go to farmers markets to make the utterly joyless but necessary trip to the grocery into a kind of fun and interesting simulacrum of an old-time open-air market, even at increased cost or less selection. While of course the vendors are trying to make money and probably want to make more of it, I can't help but intuitively recoil at the attempt to calculate this out. In some way it seems tasteless or missing the point, and if every vendor were to standardize on some product mix or strategy for sales, I think it would reduce the eclectic appeal of the market to most of its regular customers.
ideally that's what reviews and word of mouth are. But I imagine like other sectors that book publishers are risk averse.

But if anyone is like me and interested in taking a risk on those $80-150 tomes, CRC Press' books have been more hits than misses for me.
Naively thinking here, how about a 2 immutable b+tree setup:

The "cold" tree is behind: In the background move from WAL and at the same time compact it.
> I see that as eleven billion dollars of damage done to the mental health of children.

I will take the over on that number.

Oh, I'm not all that dogmatic or sure of anything in life, so I don't think it's crazy to suspect some sort of environmental/biological factor. But I think the "Death of God" is reality; it's true across all cultures and people eventually realize it. My understanding is that religiosity is the biggest predictor of fertility.

What environmental factor would correlate with fertility? My understanding is that Africa and Israel as examples still have high fertility rates - what environmental factor are they missing that affects most of the rest of the world?
Here is a truly stupid idea: What if you could buy a job interview. You pay say 100 bucks, you get the deluxe tour, all the attention and dedication you deserve, a nice letter highlighting your qualities. Make the process into a real product that is worth buying.

I've never experienced it and I don't know if they still do it but I hear in Belgium they do a lot of things over dinner. If nothing useful comes out of it you split the bill.
Hey, here is a thought I realised while buying yet another cookbook. If you buy a cookbook and find ONE recipe that you will like and will be using regularly for the rest of your life, that cookbook was already worth it.

Even if you found zero recipes, that does not mean you wasted time. Maybe if you think in terms of results for that particular cookbook investment, but it is pretty arbitrary way to look at it. What if you tried to measure your return for investment on a single page of a cookbook? For half a dozen coobkooks? For a shelf of cookbooks?

If you continue buying and studying cookbooks, you will find some good recipes in some cookbooks and what you need to look for is the total return on the total of investment. I spent a ton of money on cookbooks but my life is much better for it and I have zero regrets even if many of these cookbooks yielded zero results.

So now back to technical books.

Some of these books will yield new knowledge and some may yield very little or even none at all. You may not know before you buy a book whether it will pay for itself, but you know if the whole business of buying books and learning from them is worth it. I chose to buy and read books even if some of them yield little results because I think I am a better person and a better developer for it. I learned a lot of useful stuff even if I completely ignore majority of everything I read and then forget majority of everything I thought valuable.
> the 'lower customer densities' twist is interesting. I wonder what creates that situation. Maybe people want to rush their purchases when in a crowd?

Another interesting question: Are people buying more food with this vendor now, thus displacing future purchases, or is the extra food ending up going to waste?
Yep, this is why we need a water price and dividend system.

Whenever you use water it is tracked and you pay the market price. All of that is then collected and put into a pot. It is then given back equally to everyone.

Everyone is thus incentivized to use less and those that use less than the average amount of water - a huge majority of people since the heaviest users use so much - will receive more money than they spent.
> Solution for the future of American industry: Bomb US Steel?

Plenty of places are bombed into oblivion. What makes the rebirth is the rebuilding. The marshalling of public resources. You can replicate that without the bombs with a public-spending initiative.

> I don't get the point you're making

Just that Emacs was written almost a half century ago, and is still thriving despite being written in a language (LISP) that is basically obsolete.

> My argument is that Rust is certainly going to remain relevant for the next 20 years or so

Maybe, maybe not. Look at how quickly Perl (so promising to begin with) disappeared to be replaced by Python. Many new languages have tried, and continue to try, to replace C++ as a better alternative, and I'm sure the next 20 years will see more popup too. Is Rust the one?

If the likelihood of being around in 20 years with a still up-to-date library/tool ecosystem was the main decision making factor, then Java would probably be a safer bet.

I'm not an expert in this area so IDK. I could ask my brother if he knows if you really want?

I imagine one of the differences is that they run 24x7x365 without any downtime unless it breaks (they never do maintenance only break/fix). These machines were super overbuilt so maybe they were never used at peak capacity back then either? Maybe there were improvements over the years? I assume the getting raw materials to the factory is much more efficient now days allowing more production then they used to be able to have?

Look how many things ran out during the pandemic. Maybe we are over capacity at many of these places already? How often do any of us head out to the middle of nowhere to check the stock levels of product regularly?

>migrant children show up and work and just lie about their age or supply forged documentation, which is impossible to verify for the company or any US agency.

Except it is possible, obviously, as the Department of Labor ultimately discovered the child labor. Auditing isn't simply looking over some spreadsheets, I've had to audit inventory before back in the day and we had to go to the warehouse and verify actual inventory. These auditors aren't doing their due diligence because these auditors aren't hired to find any issues, they're hired to provide a passed audit. The solution is that these audits shouldn't be privatized, or significantly heftier fines need to be levied to align incentives.

Yeah I'm very curious as to how this effected 99% framerates and frame pacing.

I suspect only a modest hit to average framerate, but I can only imagine it hurt the actual max frametimes which make it "feel choppy" even if the framerate is still higher then your monitor's refresh rate.

In such a system, how does a reader find the root node? I'd be concerned about a) readers seeing a partial write to disk (or page buffer) during an update or b) a crash while the writer writes to disk.

I could imagine using two files, one containing the actual b-tree, the second containing the offset to the latest root note; the second file gets overwritten only after a successful write is verifiably written to disk.

Datomic's (https://www.datomic.com/) architecture is similar to this, but uses many write-once "segments" (which could be files in EFS or S3, or rows in DynamoDB or other stores).

However, in this case, we do know that this specific person is "he/him" thanks to the username and public profile, so the comment parent to yours was appropriate and your comment less so.
