True, but the chosen measure is going to be the lowest inflation imaginable since it relates strongly the global price of goods instead of services cost. Poor people actually can't escape service costs and pay for a lot more (seemingly

This is about porting a distribution to hardware. Nixos is really great at bootstrapping/rebuilding a system against your own clone of nixpkgs. The complaints of the article ends with any Linux distribution and docker. I'm not sur

With 24GB, I rarely needed it all, but a good portion was cache/buffer, I.e. 10GB. Of course you can just swap to SSD and get pretty much the same performance, until you don't..

The manufacturer/google installed apps really undermine what little trust I have in Android security. If you do a normal OS update, the old version is gone. With these playstore things, ancient versions are sitting in storage waiting t

Sounds like cherry picking to me. Doctors know if you have been vaccinated when making this decision. I.e. perhaps 90% of people with 1 dose who are admitted are serious enough to need intensive care vs a small percentage of non-vaccinated

The irony is that given that they are such low margin customers, it is likely that a few semiconductor businesses will not end up honoring long term supply guarantees (i.e. by selling off the division), so car manufacturers might not be abl

We could now reduce the development cycle to weeks and run a vaccination to less people than a clinical trial. That would be less risky than taking longer and needing to vaccinate 8 billion people with a vaccine.

If I remember correctly, FB said everything behind closed doors to Signal's leadership and had them blog and handle PR about how much reassurance they received that nothing would change. This is probably why Acton became the largest do

If people are arguing over what I meant, this system is the one I was thinking of. The US already implemented tax penalties on no-coverage and could adapt them to be auto-enrollement in basic coverage at a high deductible. I have nothing ag

> why not just let the government run it? Insurer's roles would be marginalized to competing on doing just enough administration and estimating/negotiating cost/pricing.. They also would still have incentives to cut costs

If group pricing were eliminated and levels of coverage standardized for a universal open enrollment period then pricing would be consumer oriented and most would be extremely competitive. HR people can only get numbers from a small number

I liked eloquent JS, it's a nice introduction particularly compatible with the website debugging style instead of one of the flashy SPAs framework styles. There's actually quite a lot of piecemeal consulting relating to JS snippet

All I've found is SoC makers have their own driver, but refer to the interface in terms of max resolutions, etc. I hope it is very similar to the situation with HDMI, where the interface doesn't vary, but alternatively, it could b

Let's assume the US and China are the only states the WHO, a UN Org could extract useful information from based on this write up of the lab theory: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/coronavirus-lab-esca.

That's really about timing. If it was earlier in his administration then leadership within the CDC, FDA, etc wouldn't have avoided blunter disagreement with chloroquine enema man. As it is they risked a major public safety crisis

So the fact that China didn't cooperate should affect future health policy? edit- make China/cooperate more explicit.

The WHO disclosed they were blocked. You can infer a bayesian for a lab release of this specific virus. Now what does that change about the next pandemic?

I think the WHO did a fine job of writing it up. The US motive for proving China is at fault is largely political diversion from the US' mishandling, which would be mishandling no matter what origin. That China blocked the Who's e

Simply eradicate the silly income taxes and use traditional real estate tax, energy taxes, road tax, sales tax, and other waste taxes. The problem is that countries that messed up their tax system during a war aren't going to revert th

If you were an investigator and liked promotions and job security, would you put 3 years into trying to get 60X, but getting 30X $100k fines or trying to get 2X but getting 1X $100m fine? Who could pay such a large fine? Where does the arti

Finance is the peaceful other means if you enforce laws on the people you can in order to keep it peaceful. US companies won't be running Uyghur reeducation camps in China even though that is lawful in China and may be their best way t
