The data is taken from aircraft [EDIT: not airlines; see traceroute66's comment], so it doesn't give full coverage of the world, but it does include other satellite navigation systems aside from just GPS. Looks like the jammed/interfered areas are:

* A large part of Eastern Europe around Ukraine is missing data, and there are many jammed/interfered areas around it, including the southern coast of the Black Sea and parts of Poland and the Baltic. Part of the Baltic Sea off the coast of Kaliningrad are also jammed/interfered.

* Part of Germany near Berlin, possibly part of the Ukraine-related jamming/interference?

* A large part of the eastern Mediterranean and some of the Middle East around Gaza.

* A small area on the India-Pakistan border near Punjab and Lahore.

* Two medium-sized areas in western Myanmar.

* Two small areas in New Guinea with a gap in the data between them, spanning the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border.

* Two small areas in western Australia.

* A small area on the US-Mexico border.

* A dot in southern China with some gaps in the data around it near the border with Vietnam.

Ukraine, Gaza, and Myanmar all have major conflicts going on. Other comments have suggested that the US-Mexico interference might be related to drug cartels. The India-Pakistan border is a longstanding point of tension. Not sure what (if anything) is going on in New Guinea and Australia.

The jamming/interference in India-Pakistan, US-Mexico, and China all went away in the last 6 hours -- they're only visible in the 24-hour data.

My issue is less with what we call the individual markets in the experiment. It's more with looking at healthcare across a large data set of countries and finding a general trend that more regulations lead to better cost structures and better health outcomes for the population and then somehow jumping to the conclusion we need no regulation for everything to work. That's just inconsistent with empirical reality and it's one of these purely ideological fantasy-land claims.

It also changes behaviour. People are under stress all the time. It's not a nice or natural way to live. But it is easier to govern people.

Well, not necessarily. People stay for jobs, family and friends. They will just pay for something they're not bothered about if it's not so expensive they're forced to move. That doesn't mean them staying is anything to do with the thing some people want.

how could/would they not?

everything is paid by the renters, and if the price is not high enough (to turn a risk-weighted profit) it will be removed from the market.

(if there's a high enough vacancy tax and/or security costs against squatting, then eventually it will be sold. which is a one time boon for the market, but it ends up crowding out new developments for a while, and altogether this just leads to crazy waitlists and the usual discrimination.)

> There's a line somewhere where "giving poor people comfort" goes from providing good and useful social services to essentially a bribe.

I'm not sure I agree. Like giving out literal tons of candy and soda would be a political bribe but I wouldn't count it as "comfort"; it's poison. If you do think it's in the same category, I guess that would be my line - the aid should not be obviously harmful.

> you open the door for political leaders to say "you must vote for me or tolerate my bad behavior or else this goes away" ... Even if the method by which "this goes away" is that the opposing political group would be the one to remove the social service

But that's true of literally everything a government does, isn't it? It's the nature of power being centralized that if one person can force a change, their replacement can undo it. Even if the 1st person is completely earnest and never makes such a statement it is implicitly part of the process and people will make their votes with that expectation.
>> The French Google office is tiny for such a big country,

I'm not an accountant but they should be able to capitalize expenses incurred when it's an investment, ie, since it's not really a normal expense profit should not be affected.

I'm not sure how that works with R&D engineering salaries - that might impact their profits even if it's an investment.

I feel like a large technology company should spend a large but consistent amount of money on R&D - I don't like wild swings either way.

Fundamentally, prior to civilization there was not a sustainable host population for human diseases. Anything that could only target humans would quickly burn out as everyone around would either be dead or resistant from prior infection.

As our population grew and contact grew there were enough people around that a disease could sweep through a population then go elsewhere while a new generation grew up to be vulnerable when it finally came back.

Even with that, though, most of our disease are minor variants on stuff from the animal world. Covid appears to be simply the latest iteration of something that has periodically spilled into the human population in the past--except with the extremely nasty trait of asymptomatic spread. HIV is simply a minor variant on the already-existing SIV. It learned to target the immune system long before it targeted humans.

I went to school at a relatively late age and started in community college. The school/state had a policy where any independent income earners making less than 35,000/year would not pay tuition. A single dollar over that would require paying full tuition of ~$60/unit or about $750 a semester. One year I worked a little more overtime during the holidays than usual and realized with a week to go in the year that I'd go a few hundred dollars over, so I called out of a few shifts and nearly got fired over it. I barely squeaked in under the limit, and if I hadn't, there was pretty much no way I would have been able to continue school. It's not like I could suddenly afford it now that I made $35,001 vs $34,999. I have never understood why things like this don't use some sort of sliding scale, rather than absolute dividing line.
It shouldn't be absolutely impossible to trust them. If ie those 'salts' are naturally occurring in atmosphere in already reasonable concentration (ie I am sure few atoms of uranium are roaming around me currently, but sure as hell I hope its just few and apart) and they just locally temporarily increase their concentration to seed droplets around dew point.

Do you mean the parser generator itself (which is written in Rust) segfaults constantly, or the generated parsers (which are in C)?

It's not surprising to me that there are issues with generated parsers, partly because many languages need external scanners to work, which have to be written in C and use a rather clunky API. tree-sitter-javascript also uses an external scanner so you might want to look there for whatever is causing the problem.

France already has some of the most densely populated cities in the world, Paris is #32. French cities feel less congested than the likes of US cities because it has better cycling infrastructure and public transport options.

No. It is not.

The data is ADS-B data which is broadcast by aircraft.

For certain parts of the world, they may have the option to augment the data via commercial services, but that is highly unlikely to be on a global basis.

I could see a third option as a "lemon detector". That is, instead of their output being a number, it would be a binary, intended only to limit downside risk in the worst cases.

I think in practice this is indeed the role they play. If I'm "overpaying" by 20%, the appraiser will probably still "write down the predetermined number", but if I'm overpaying by 100% and taking out a mortgage to do it, there's a pretty good chance that the bank's appraiser is going to sink that deal.
> big boosts that comes with picking low hanging fruit, perhaps there isn’t any left. Optimization tends to yield lower results over time

As the link I shared says

> For the first time ever, I’m writing one of these posts without having made any improvements to compile speed myself. I have always used a profile-driven optimization strategy, and the profiles you get when you measure rustc these days are incredibly flat. It’s hard to find improvements when the hottest functions only account for 1% or 2% of execution time. Because of this I have been working on things unrelated to compile speed.

> That doesn’t mean there are no speed improvements left to be made, as the previous section shows. But they are much harder to find, and often require domain-specific insights that are hard to get when fishing around with a general-purpose profiler. And there is always other useful work to be done.

---

> From the outside though, it appears like either inherent constraints that limit how far you can go, or at least initial compiler design reasons that would be cost-prohibitive to change.

Also correct. Rust prioritised faster run time over fast compilation times. For example, monomorphization is something used pervasively in most Rust code. Fast at run time, but slow to compile. The fact that the entire crate needs to be compiled if a line is changed is yet another issue.

Everything indicates that even if Rust improves, it will never reach that 2 second recompile for large projects. But fortunately the experience of the last few years suggests that it's still possible to succeed despite (or maybe because of) prioritising runtime over compile time.
