I am still amazed that I can order a custom made PCB from China. But it seems this that this has a long tradition:

Also came with the challenges of translation:

It depends what you mean by emulation.

For instance, I ported a 6502 interpreter from UNIX to Classic Macintosh back in the day. This was to play SID music files. So long as it ran fast enough, clock cycle accuracy wasn’t important.

It worked by calling C code from the interpreter.
The article seems to imply we are sure this was all by mistake. I don't share this view.

If the deceased created an account for Murray (ex-girlfriend), and later removed Murray as the second beneficiary from another asset (but kept other ex-girlfriend Sjostedt on the same), then this may be what he intended.

As a single guy, providing part of your assets to two former partners (one might say common law wives, given they cohabited longer-term) that shared in your life or parts of it is reasonable, especially given that there are other assets that went to the brothers, so his funeral was covered and his next of kin can still enjoy the life insurance etc.

Maybe there is a case to be made for 1. not filling in beneficiary forms and 2. leaving behind a will (with a notary public) to remove ambiguity, especially when arrangements are unusual.

We have to get over this false meme where people think RCTs prove causation and the rest prove correlation.

How is TSV more simple when it just uses another delimiter? Seems like the exact same processing is needed.
I cannot resist… I have to tell… when they did it, they had non-stop media coverage, as much as could possibly be done.

An hour or two after traffic switched, TV broadcast from Svinesund, the biggest of the road crossings to Norway, and a major route for road haulage, and a reporter said something like "here we have the driver of a Norwegian 18-wheeler, <name>. Well, <name>, what do think of the big reform?" Norwegian, looking a little dense and speaking slowly: "Uh, what reform?" There was big signage everywhere. The reporter tried dropping a hint, the Norwegian truck driver refused to have noticed any change in the driving rules. Camera showed the very big 18-wheeler. The reporter dropped increasingly clearer hints and looked discomfited, the Norwegian still said "no, what reform, is anything new?" and eventually they cut the interview and switched back to the studio.
German automakers oppose it because they will be hit the hardest. They focus on premium market. They don't have much competition in that market especially for conventional cars. And they don't care much what will happen later and with others.

But the other side of the wall is that all other low and mid price segment manufacturers (Renault, Stellantis, etc.) welcome the tariffs. Because that's where the automakers from China compete (unfairly).

>>Insurance is invariably a "for profit" enterprise so the utility or return across all participants has to be lower than the value invested/paid.

This is wrong and the reason you are confused about the argument.
If insurance is priced fairly all parties benefit utility wise. It's true that the buyer has negative expected value money wise and the seller positive one but as the utility function is concave both parties benefit. The important thing is to be able to see value in insurance. Once you are able to see it you will understand why it's worth a premium.

One natural question is why the insurer can afford to sell the insurance and not lose expected utility. The answer is that the insurer has a bigger bankroll and the utility curve is flatter for them than it is for the buyer. That's why they can offer a lower premium than an individual in similar position to the buyer would be.
Strange logic. Would you consider it unethical for former Google employees to start their own search engine? Or to quit and go work for Bing? Assuming they aren't stealing code this happens in every industry. Can former Ford employees not work for Chevy? I don't see the difference.
> Wouldn’t FDIC insurance only cover $250K in each bank account if the bank went under?

The limit isn't per account; from the FDIC website:

> The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category.

A properly notated pooled account should confer FDIC insurance to the underlying depositors. But if the intermediary doesn't properly notate the underlying accounts at the bank, or doesn't send all of your money to the underlying bank, FDIC insurance doesn't cover that. And you won't have statements from the insured bank to verify that the money is there either.

There's a FDIC document specifically about these kinds of pooled accounts: https://www.fdic.gov/deposit/diguidebankers/documents/fiduci...
> What? No EU companies will serve any kind of global market. That is the point of Tarifs.

Thats not how tarriffs work.

What will happen is Chinese exports will have to pay tarriffs to enter EU.

Most China can do is impose tarriffs or nationalize or whatever within their borders.

So less China<->EU trade.

More market in EU since China vehicles cant compete.

Now... here it becomes nicer.

US is also imposing tarriffs on China.

All of South east asia+India will impose as well since most are afraid of going to war with them.

So, more market where China cannot compete and EU companies can fill gap.

As such, tarriffs are good long term, they lose access to X but gain access to 3-5X.

They are bad for China since they are suddently overproducing and have nowhere to sell so they have to downsize, earn less, etc...

They're also bad for China because if they go after JVs they no longer get access to free IP to steal.

The center of displacement is always below the center of mass, so the iceberg never gets the stability of a rock hanging on a thread (ships can do that with ballast).

The only way for an iceberg to achieve stability is "differential" - every infinitesimal movement needs to move the center of displacement in a way which counters the movement. This basically means flat bottom.
I think I'd give some back. No way you'd really give $1m back though unless you really didn't need it (possible here). I would say morally nobody is really entitled to inheritance and they clearly don't need the money, so you're doing them a favour by giving it back.

Exactly.

Not at all. I have a big head, many things can fit into it at the same time. I can experience moderate amount of sadness over this specific person dying at this specific day. (Only a moderate amount because I didn't them personally, and for 90 year old dying is not that remarkable.) And at the same time feel happiness over that he kept flying that long during his life. One can experience both at the same time. If this is illogical to you wait until you taste some sweet and sour sauce.

You describe the role of a therapist, priest, best friend. Doctors train in science and should focus primarily on the science of medicine. I suppose it feels better when the physician also shows some empathy and compassion, but their job comes down to healing and saving lives. Too much emotional involvement with patients actually gets in the way, which is why physicians generally don't treat their own family.

Interesting, I think this is part of what the article is alluding to: what happens with tech debt is more to do with the team’s process rather than with the tech debt itself. Some teams are stuck in a process that makes them unable to tackle the problems even if they want to due to that process.

Of course you could just say “change the process” but it’s also obvious that there are many other factors and pressures that are non trivial

It happened to me once and it never occurred to me I could spend the money just because someone made a mistake. If I was stupid enough to spend it, I would have to give it back anyway, so what's the point?
> HTMX doesn't require Django - you can use it with any web framework you like

I agree, but that wasn't the point I was making. My point was to question why a simpler build system should be the deciding factor for your tech stack. You could've used Go for your backend if that was the case. But you chose Django because it offers an ecosystem of tools. So does React.

> server side rendering should be fundamental knowledge that anybody working in the web-space should understand.

I'd invite you to question why that's the case. This "X should know Y even if few actually use it" type of thinking is very prevalent in the developer community.

Ok, fair enough. I hadn’t considered that. In my mind, wings you can’t fly with are worse than no wings.
Why's that? They're selling the insurance plan for a profit, after all. The expected return, from the buyer's point of view, is negative.

I switched to Linux after 5 years of Apple and never looked back. The reason was mostly that I wanted to learn more about how OSes work and macOS was getting in the way. Also I had to manage Linux systems at work, so I wanted to get more accustomed to it.

Near where I live is Wapping High Street (Just next to the Tower of London, City outwards). There are maybe 1,2,3 shops sprinkled around. A barber. That sort of thing. The rest are Warfs (Warehouse at river Front) which were part of the port of London before it moved down the Thames. If you wanted to go to the main shopping area you nowadays would go to Wapping Lane.

Now, the warehouses are there only for a few centuries and Wapping is much older. I don’t know if Wapping High street at that time was a vibrant shopping street with exciting retail opportunities, maybe. My point is things change over time.

This could be an interesting research project as you suggest and I wait with great anticipation for the first results that you hopefully will present here in some time. I am sure the history of High Streets in London could be fascinating.

It is super difficult to ask deceased people what they actually wanted.

In respect for the dead person, we absolutely have to carry out their will.

It might be there there is a brother somewhere that feels hurt. But we really don't know if the deceased one really wished that his early crush should have the money.

What we can do, however, is to make sure we update our wills.
I’ve literally never seen the latter: I think companies that do that just disappear. The former though is a great driver: Let your debt pile up sky high because it doesn’t matter as long as it lets you make more money in short term vs dealing with it.

you may say it’s short term thinking, but if you’re optimising for investment, that’s the right thinking. Make money now, you can always move it elsewhere that makes better use of it.

It’s not what I personally agree with, but just my observations so far
>But companies already try to make better products and make them more efficiently, because it leads to higher profits.

Maybe, but only competition forces you into innovation. Companies very much like to do things they are already doing, that is easy.

No corps and states here. The article is all about individuals, almost all are academics:

- Tim Jackson is a professor who seems to have spent his life in NGOs, think tanks and getting degrees of various kinds.

- "Kate Soper teaches philosophy and cultural theory at the University of North London"

- "Giorgos Kallis is a citizen of Greece, professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, publisher of over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, and an active member of the group Research & Degrowth"

- Anitra Nelson is "an activist-scholar affiliated with the Informal Urbanism Research Hub (InfUr-) at the University of Melbourne, Australia."

- "Jason Edward Hickel (born 1982) is an anthropologist and professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona"

- "Kohei Saito, a 37-year-old Japanese Marxist philosopher has emerged as the movement’s public face." [Saito is an associate professor at the University of Tokyo]

The only one that isn't an academic is Liegey.

I was there on business a few years back. It's honestly infuriating. It would seem that the majority of roads are named by some combination of Cardinal/Ordinal direction (North, South, East, West, Northeast, Southwest, etc.) + " Peachtree " + Road Type (Road, Street, Avenue, Boulevard, Lane, etc.)
If you have 10% chance to lose -$91 and 90% chance to get +$10, the expected value in money is -$0.1. It sounds bad.

But the relationship between utility and money isn't linear. If for you, $10 is worth 10u and $91 is worth only 89u, this deal has expected value of +0.1u.

Why and how isn't it linear? It's a hard problem that can't be answered easily. However we know it's true for most big institutions in stock and bond markets. A financial product will need to provide extra expected value in term of money to compensate the risk, otherwise no one buys it.

> The weird thing that we should not strive to fix human defects when they are truly defects is astounding.

All my comments are essentially stating the disagreement (or rather lack of agreement) with this point of view.

It declares being deaf as a "true defect" that we should "strive to fix". In the context of the gene therapy now available, I understand this means that a deaf-born children should be "fixed" to remove this "defect". This vision is not crazy, but it doesn't strike me as universally true either.
I wear the DevOps hat a bit with SRE. Typically I look for things that take a lot of time and refine/automate. Rinse and repeat.

I specifically go for things that seem guarded. Stuff people do that seems to be job security. Exists 'only' to keep them employed.

Not with any animosity, mind you. There are usually tendrils to that kind of stuff. It's usually important work but perhaps the specifics need updating.

For instance: while "Bob" does the same he always does, there may be a group of new people wondering why it existed this way. He may just need help getting out from under it.

Perhaps the work can be saved instead of repeated, the new folks can take it on, or they obsolete it entirely. Processes are funny like that.

This spills into meetings a lot. Convincing people to do the obviously good thing, defending reason, etc. It's not just writing Ansible/Python (our tools of choice) as much as I'd prefer that.

Overall the goal is to be a force multiplier without rustling too many feathers

I’ve come to realise that there’s no valid business case for dealing with tech debt early, nor adding tests to an existing project (bar some special circumstances / legacy change, critical outage, etc)

It’s like a lot of things have to be aligned for “good” development practices to reap benefits, most shops are much less organised, and a bit of chaos and early/quick iterative shipping will always yield better results.

Having said that, my core belief is still that if you take care and do things properly you’ll go fast in places where all other companies get bogged down
