Wood also just burns, slowly. Steel might not burn but as it gets hot it loses structural integrity very quickly.

This is something also covered in the podcast. Instead of an over-prescription problem you now have a heroin/fentanyl problem which was expected but assumed to be temporary without prescription pills as an introduction to these drugs.

I would really like to know why they decided against the Zalando approach. Mosaic is open source, so they could have taken advantage of the same code Zalando uses and gotten improvements there for free.

Not sure about HelloFresh but at Zalando there are rules for that all fragments are supposed to follow so that this doesn't happen. In practice that means everyone has to use React in the same version, there is a shared library of comp

Indeed as a German the idea that some people think appeasement is the right strategy to combat nazis is astonishing. You don't talk to nazis, you destroy them.

Zalando does this as well with Mosaic: https://www.mosaic9.org If you don't have a few hundred people working on the frontend in many different teams, don't try this. This first and foremost solves the problem of coord

There are quite a few problems where you need a lot of memory and CPU performance for just a relatively short amount of time like a few hours per day or even just a few hours per week. Forecasting or complex optimization problems for exampl

You'd need to prove that a DBMS executes a query always correctly to begin with. That in itself would be quite the task. Additionally SQL as supported by some DBMSes (e.g. Postgres due to recursive CTE and window functions) is turing c

Sick days don't exist in Germany. If you're sick, you stay home for as long as necessary.

An employer can ask for a note on the first day, there is no law against that. Employers don't do that because it's incentives sick employees coming in which gets expensive when all of them do stay home.

Registering and having health insurance are completely unrelated to each other. Additionally registering in Germany is actually a legal requirement, having health insurance is not (under certain circumstances).

She's not registered, she doesn't have a job and never had one. In other words she's a tourist and is treated as such. That's not a bug, that's a feature and the system working exactly as designed.

The amount of time something takes is often related to the input. Measuring the time, gives you information on that input. For example measuring the time of a=b with constant b tells you roughly how large a[:n] such that a[:n] = b[:n].

Stratechery is not the best source for accurate information on the technical details but it's also not trying to be. Anyone who focuses on that is missing the point.

It does not have a right turn only sign. It just has a green arrow. The only reason you can only ever turn right is because the light stays red, if it were to turn green you'd be allowed to cross the intersection in any direction. Ther

What if an independent app store, fails at adequately stopping malware from getting through? Is Apple going to ban the entire store then? Does Apple get to do that job for those stores instead? If the latter, does the App get reviewed both

Progress in medicine is very slow and that's concerning but it's not true at all that nothing has changed over that timeframe. Medication that cures Hepatitis C has become available in that timeframe for example.

I'm doubtful something like very good VR or even good VR can even exist. You'd need to simulate physical forces interacting on the human body and movement to make that happen. Unless we achieve the ability to essentially run a MIT
