It did. It is part of the system. This is how it works.

1. Colleges set exorbitantly high prices.

2. The government-supported system assesses families' ability to pay though FAFSA process, where you submit your tax returns (not that you have to, IRS is government as well) with your wage/business income, then list all your assets (minus retirement accounts such as 401Ks) and liabilities. Then the FAFSA spits out your expected contribution, TELLING you how much you can afford to pay for your kids education.

3. Colleges and government then use this number to determine how much "financial need" you have. They can "meet your financial need" by letting you pay less than the sticker price (it's called "need-based scholarship"), or allow to take loans on favorable terms to close the difference between the sticker price and your ability to pay (that they determined). More often it's a combination of the two (depending how desirable college is and how good of the student they perceive your kid to be).
The picture of electrons sitting in states (or the empty states without electrons) is not used for historical reasons. It's used because the next level of explanation requires partial differential equations.
War is already here and expanding. The US will probably switch sides and align with Russia.

It wouldn’t surprise me if NATO is replaced with something that excludes the US and includes Ukraine, Greenland, Canada and Mexico.

yes, that's the general idea, no? Further studies funded by the government. Pushing the boundaries of knowledge is expensive but critical for any country that wants to remain influential in the world.

Regarding employment rates, I can't speak too broadly on that as I'm more focused on the econ field, which does not have employment issues. But I would be interested in hearing the base for you numbers.
Except for the gross factor? The author seems pretty clear that, yes, you can:

> For those of you asking, what are my options for diving in a dry suit? Well… you can just hold it (again, if you have a bladder of steel), nappies/diapers, the p-valve, or just pee in the suit (which is gross and defeats the whole purpose of the dry suit, right?).

The "purpose of the dry suit" is to keep you dry. If you're literally wetting yourself, and with a fluid that is rather more chemically offensive than water, then you're probably going to have a bad time. (I don't know how temperature-controlled dry suits are, but you lose heat a lot more easily through contact with a liquid (that's what sweat is for!), so the urine puddle probably makes heat retention harder, too.)

Planned failovers can be managed through maintenance windows by recreating replication slots before maintenance ends. Unplanned failovers require resyncs, which are heavily optimized with PeerDB (https://blog.peerdb.io/parallelized-initial-load-for-cdc-bas...).

With PG17+, this shouldn’t be an issue due to failover slots.

Another important observation: Aurora Postgres, which is used by many customers, persists slots during failover, so this isn’t a problem at all. PeerDB has built-in retries that resume from the last committed source LSN.

More than half of the explanation for the administrative bloat since 1976 was blamed on factors that did not change much since the 1960s - with the notable exception of foreign sanctions, which were much worse due to the cold war. Also blamed were IRBs, which have been a requirement since 1974: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_subject_research_legisla...

The "accurate responses" were non-explanations. Like blaming being three hours late on a single red light.
I guess you talk about hard failures or replication slot deletion, right? Debezium has a snapshot mode (1) to refetch everything from scratch, we have tested it but opted out of using it because it would put pressure on postgres with the queries on huge tables and on kafka and its storage. Imo we prefer to manually rebuild the clickhouse tables via postgres snapshots and latest cdc data, but there might be better options or ideas.

> foreigners looking for prestigious schools are searching in the USA because their own system is middling

See how you called it "prestigious" not "expensive", and "middling" not "cheap"? Price contributes to the feeling of quality of any product but it's neither necessary nor sufficient. There's more than that just the price.

The US is an economic powerouse, it attracts top talent in every area or level because it offers opportunities and high rewards. Even the language is part of the cycle which fuels this talent attraction. This brings results, the results bring prestige, and the prestige brings in more talent.

An expensive school in Bulgaria will not attract that kind of talent because fewer people are attracted to living, working, or learning the local language there. Heck, even a no-name US school couldn't attract talent by jacking up prices.
You still believe this is actually about efficency? With a president whose golf trips since he came into office racked up >10 million USD?

I had this thought too. My best guess is that it's down to the length of the urethra. Have you ever lifted liquid out of a glass using a straw, by capping the upper end of the straw with a finger? That liquid wants to fall, but that causes the gas volume above the liquid to expand, so vacuum pressure pulls the water upward, counteracting gravity, and also pulls your finger into the straw slightly. I imagine that, for a longer column of fluid, that vacuum pressure is at least a contributing factor to the unpleasant feeling. (Not to mention that, when urinating, that column of liquid is already moving rapidly!)
Interesting; I suppose you keep an eye out for the dump phase, then quickly short?
> Illiberal democracies start with suppression and control of speech. Which is core to the EU regime currently.

Really?

The EU limits explicit calls to violence, genocide denial, and coordinated disinformation campaigns.

Meanwhile, Russia imprisons people for holding blank signs, China censors Winnie the Pooh, and Hungary closed its last independent radio station.

Don’t you think your standards for what free speech is could be slightly different, depending to whom they apply?
I think you have a point, but as others have commented "allowing functions" is not the problem, as fundamental math operations are functions. But if we limit ourselves to only functions that map (tuples of) integers to integers ((Z, Z, ...) -> Z), the spirit of the original game is retained. This disallows sqrt and log, but retains addition, subtraction and multiplication (but not division). Factorial (n!) is allowed, as is exponentiation to a non-negative power.

Wonder if someone could come up with general solution within these constraints.
Right, that's called communication. Communication also enables you to ask your manager if this approach is okay to begin with, or ask that they acknowledge when you give them such heads up notifications. There's a lot of ways to make this work well.

These are examples of users complaining about HN in the way many users always complain about HN. You'll find countless such comments making general claims about how the site is "all X" or "has become Y" or "never allows any Z".

The problem is that these perceptions are not reliable—people base them on datapoints that they happen to notice because they dislike them so much [1], and from there they jump to general conclusions.

Yes it does sound like marketing speak, my bad.

So deFi can help users and communities because decentralized financial systems, allow users to lend, borrow, and trade without intermediaries, enhancing financial inclusivity and reducing costs.

Web3 technologies can facilitate community-driven initiatives, e.g. regenerative finance (ReFi), which supports climate action and equitable resource allocation. Also some interesting things happening around DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) e.g. Venture DAOs supporting new business creation.

In general the principles behind having reduced intermediaries, and having user control and ownership of user data, together with enlightened uses of smart contract and other Web3 technologies is empowering, especially if it's put to use to solve real world problems.

I do think that it's difficult to see past the sometimes murky shenanigans and greed often on display in Web3. But I think decentralization is a paradigm shift, it's going to take some visionary entrepreneurs and technologists to continue to build out the promise but I believe that it will happen.
Ukraine's resources belong to Ukraine, and will return to Ukraine, as soon as Russia stops their unprovoked and unjustified assault.

Cloud will continue to evolve massively with AI, as vendors offer more specialized infra and software abstractions, but the salient point is that in Europe we haven't even been able to build the first 10% of what providers like Amazon, Microsoft or Google offer. Hetzner was only "considering" a managed Postgres offering, last time I checked, ffs...

My take is that capital in Europe is (a) way too risk-averse and (b) fragmented across many European countries... As much as I've always sympathized with the EU, "Europe" as a single entity is a fucking lie, an illusion in our collective minds.

Try building a business in Spain, and then expanding to France. Yes, you have free movement of capital and labor to help you - which is a massive foundation - but after that all you'll find is red tape and difficulties emanating from the differences in culture and language.

Similarly, it seems impossible to privately amass the amount of capital needed for an investment such as what is needed to "make the first 10% of what AWS offers".

The only alternative is through continent-wide industrial policy, Draghi style[1]. More power to the bureaucrats in Brussels, and more taxes than we're already paying - and we're fucking suffocating already down here. No thanks!

This is why the future looks dire. My only hope is that maybe with AI software development becomes cheaper and we can all build more services in-house. But please someone give us at least the first 10-20% most useful cloud abstractions. I wouldn't want to waste even the compute-time of my AI engineers in building a resilient managed Postgres.

Sure, in the grand scheme of things, though, I wouldn't argue that seconds is a legitimate slow down. I just really struggle to buy into the argument that "non-Docker" is superior and that introducing Docker is a problem. It's _another_ way to do deployments, and it's not strictly worse. There are tradeoffs on both sides, although I would argue Docker has far fewer than just using systemctl and SSH.

> Adding an additional layer also means that layer needs to be managed at all times, and additional setup is required to use it. This starts at installing docker related tooling, having to do extra work to access logs inside containers, additional infrastructure management/maintenance (eg private repository), Docker compatibility between versions (it's not very good at maintaining that) etc

Docker is available on every major distribution. Installing it once takes seconds. Accessing logs (docker logs mycontainer) takes just as long as systemctl (journalctl -u myservice). Maintaining a registry is optional, there are dozens of one-click SaaS services you can use you instantly get a registry, many of them free. Besides, I would consider the registry to have significantly more time-savings benefits due to being able to properly track builds.

> Docker needs to copy far more than just the application files. Avoiding an extra copy of 100MB data (OS + required env) during deployment

This is only partially true. Images are layered, and if the last thing you do is copy your binary to the image (default Docker practice), than it's possible for it to be exactly the same time as it's only downloading one new layer (the size of the application). Only on brand new machines (an irrelevant category to consider) is it fully true.
Government is supposed to work slowly and thoughtfully. It provides stability. Much like a pendulum that swings back and forth. This tipping over the edge in one direction is not a good development at all.

Now, when I have done all the things I wanted to do during the day and it’s time to sit on the sofa, yep, I take my phone and I would get bored without it I think.

And for free speech, the US don’t have free speech. People are silenced by fear by „free-speech“ abolitionists so they don’t dare to speak freely in fear of repressive measures.

I hope so too, but move where? Does Scaleway or UpCloud or any other EU cloud provider have comparable offerings? Sure, if everything you have is running on containers or VMs, the stuff is easy to port to Hetzner et al., but what to do with the cloud specific apps (Azure functions etc.)? Rebuilding those for other platforms is probably a no-go unless the Union pours billions into supporting this.

Though I've cursed it for years, I'm increasingly glad our org's cloud migration has been so slow that we've only now rolled out the first apps. Pretty much everything we've build can be run anywhere we want, so if it's time to drop the ball and go back to onprem, we've not wasted anything but time on setting up the base
Because the US are the bigger threat.

No. Government is composed of many parts.
