The objection isn’t that people can’t drive 35mph but that there are exceedingly few real life situations where people need to go massively over the limit and can do so safely. Those scenarios which most drivers will never be in are being used to justify not having safety precautions which would save thousands of lives annually.

My original comment was thinking of the things that have high resale value - e.g. the actual computers, phones, etc but from other comments it sounds like they've got sufficient methods in place to make such devices worthless (I guess they could treat them like gift cards are nowadays where until the sale is registered the initial activation fails but if were in charge of such a system I'd be incredibly worried about accidentally screwing up for paying customers)

I don't agree with the premise.

Integrated circuit manufacturing scales well because the cost per transistor is lower with every process improvement, so as process improvements accumulate, more value (or perhaps more productivity) per wafer is created. This strictly applies to digital circuitry - most analog circuitry requires a certain geometry or process technology not available on a massively optimized modern digital process. While some analog technology improvements are made, it's at a much slower pace. Moreover, a lot of analog redesigns come about as a means to abandon older, less cost-effective semiconductor technology - so the argument that cheap older tech is a boon to any industry outside of limited volume and high cost R&D is suspicious.

Solar cost improvements are in large part a function of massive economies of scale coupled with cheap manufacturing costs and government subsidies from the primary country of origin (which country? Take a guess). I'm sure there's been improvements in a handful of solar material designs, but if you make a large enough volume of panels in a country with cheap labor and massive government subsidies, costs go down. It's not rocket science. To the extent that modern semiconductor technology has improved solar, maybe an argument can be made for improved digital inverter controllers and for silicon carbide FETs maturing enough to make high-voltage panels efficient and ubiquitous at grid-scale deployments. But it's mostly volume, cheap labor costs, and government subsidies.

I don't know about biotech. The following is speculation. I think a lot of biotech was feasible 25 years ago in terms of manufacturability of microfluidics or molecular identification circuitry; but the cost of mass manufacture, and particularly the compute requirements to quickly recover signal from a highly noisy process, wasn't economical or simple to build until digital signal processing and general purpose compute became cheap and fast enough to integrate alongside the biosensors, often as copackaged modules, or generic coprocessors (ARM, RISC-V, etc) that can be built on a ton of different processes and which export raw sensor data quickly enough to allow much heavier duty professors to do the bulk of the work.

I think actual fabrication tech improves slowly, because at its core it's chemistry and material science which also improves slowly (see: batteries). Digital circuitry is a mind-blowing exception, thanks to the incredible amount of usable abstractions that can be built from the manufacture of two specific transistor recipes. But digital circuitry is so powerful, it becomes possible to abstract away massive chunks of otherwise difficult problems in software, firmware, or dedicated transistor-level algorithm implementations, which reduces the amount of physical-world improvements needed to make useful innovations.
Anyone who's ever interacted with any kind of animal knows how they are intelligent.

The lack of science on this matter is not the reason we still consume meat and more science won't change anything.

We've always found ways to justify/accept our need for meat and wel'll continue doing this as long as science doesn't find an equally nutritious alternative that can be produced at scale.

Hi, Author here.

Large reads tend to require the least CPU of all of the tests that we ran in the post. This is especially true in a 3X replication scenario where reads are serviced by a single OSD like in the 1 TiB/s test. CPU is far more important for small random writes, and also can be important when using erasure coding and/or msgr level encryption.

So the premise that you can only achieve 280MB/s per core is misleading. This cluster wasn't bottlenecked by the CPUs for large reads. Having said that, CPU makes up only a small portion of the overall cost for an NVMe deployment like this. Investing a relatively small amount of money to achieve a higher core to nvme ratio provides a better balance across all workloads and more flexibility when enabling features that consume additional CPU.
> You are using marginal utility value theory. Parent comment is using labor value theory.

Yes, I'm aware. This is precisely why I'm stating the prior comment to be "absolutely wrong". Marginal utility is a substantially valid model, LTV is not.

> In fact, there are also other value theories in economy. It's a mostly philosophical choice, and like other philosophical choices, it's not possible to accuse one of them of being wrong.

Sure it is. These aren't theories in a normative sense, they're models of causality for manifest phenomena. They're closer to scientific theories than they are to philosophical axioms. LTV simply doesn't bear out with observation.
Anything involving pivoting for stability isn’t trivial to parallelize. Plain old Gaussian elimination on huge sparse matrices doesn’t scale in parallel very well.

At the other end of the spectrum, getting a matrix-matrix multiply to run fast isn’t easy either. It’s what necessitated the kind of approach the authors of BLIS adopted. On paper it’s easy, but actually getting it to run fast on a computer isn’t.

Fatalities per vehicle-mile is the only favorable metric here, which makes intuitive sense: the US is a big empty country with a lot of rural highways.

If you look at fatalities per capita or by net car ownership, the numbers are much less rosy[1]. By those metrics, the US mostly peers with SE Asia and the Middle East.

> The article can at best be described as clickbait. A better title would be: police given powers to do their job effectively.

This purely opinion. I can’t do anything with this other than to strongly disagree with you.

> What you're suggesting would not work in reality.

What I’m suggesting is already reality in the US and is reality for most other things in the Netherlands, as well as the reality in most EU countries.

In the US the judicial overview has in many cases eroded to rubber stamping by judges, so I wouldn’t go as far as to state that “it works”, but when I practiced law in the Netherlands and a handful of times in other EU countries I indeed considered things to “work” just fine the way they were.

> And if it was a reality I'm sure you'd be complaining even more about how the police can't solve anything or do their jobs properly

You’re gish galloping and doing a pretty poor job at it because you’re making assumptions on my moral framework without knowing the first thing about me.

I wouldn’t complain about the police not being able to solve anything because I’m more concerned about police powers being expanded at the expense of civil rights so “law & order” politicians can score a few points.

I was educated in law school with the philosophy of rather having 10 guilty people go free than 1 innocent person ending up behind bars and till this day I still hold that to be a virtue to strive for.

So no. I’m not in the slightest concerned about police being able to solve crimes.

> I would imagine it was changed in 2018 because the current way it was working simply wasn't working.

Like I said, it’s merely a consequence of politicians wanting to look tough on crime while quietly eroding away what little safeguards there are.

You could’ve just said something to the effect if “I’ve got nothing to hide” and called it a day, instead of presenting your opinions and assumptions as if they have any merits as arguments.
I'd assume even if you have all that, you'd still be tied to the city grid, so it wouldn't require any 'extra' over your current connection? (At least, thats how it works here - you might have roof top solar, but you keep your existing grid connection...)

P.S. - I'm curious what (if any) solar flares/storms will have in the near future as we're approaching the 'bad' part of the solar cycle...Doubtful anything will happen since the strongest recorded sun flare was in 2001 and I dont recall any disruptions. We've added a lot more stuff in orbit, and made transistors a lot smaller since then though, so it will be interesting.

Thank you for writing this. I am amazed that people are still surprised that systems have security bugs and get hacked. There are lots of security bugs in every major operating system, database, browser, framework, etc. These bugs are not there because the teams building these systems want them to have bugs. They are there because security is hard and no one knows how to build large systems with no security bugs.
California's road fatality rates are entirely unremarkable among the 50 states[0].

Wiener probably could have other priorities on his plate.

> it's not even clear if anybody was actually "doused" with anything.

It's very obvious that media, the university and politicians look the other way because of the content of the protests that were attacked. If Muslims sprayed protesters at a pro-Israel rally with chemical weapons, they would be in jail that same day, and budgets for terrorism prevention would bloat all across the nation. That's not even a question. Instead we have faculty actually calling attempts to identify the perpetrators as "doxxing", while continuing to smear people. That plus the tacit approval in form of a wall of silence is all brown shirts need to do their thing.

now you’re talking, the other side of this is that this is just year 1

years 2 - n the tax exempt nonprofit account grows tax free, after its balance is large enough it can independently be an investor in VC/PE/Hedge Funds and have an infinite time horizon. just keep funding it until the homerun.

the same goes for the tax deferred retirement accounts, they are separate entities and can eventually become investors for higher risk higher growth things

they can be generational wealth things as well that allow for influence from your family, without the complications around ex-spouses, inheritance tax, cost basis adjustments, liability. just everything at your discretion while remaining judgement proof.
