I wonder how well this could work as performance optimization. When you do some data crunching you can offload some work to lambda. Theoretically, bringing execution closer to data brings more efficiency. Though AWS Lamba was very expensive

LZ4 is not going to help, if you already have compressed data. For image, video and audio there are more efficient compressions taking advantage of those formats.

LZ4 is so fast, that in make sense to use it everywhere over uncompressed data. Even storing items in-memory compressed sometimes is profitable as you can fit more items in memory. Still zstd offers way better compression and got variable d

I'm not sure who is benefitting those mega managers other than executives or shareholders. We need to find a way to discourage mega-mergers. Either through antitrust law or progressive taxation on mega mergers starting at few $1Bln. 1.

In terms of rollout. UK is the ideal country to be the first: 1. Heavily impacted by Covid-19. 2. Centralised health care system makes it easier to compare results and efficiency. E.g. it's UK which figured out that dexamethasone is ef

I took me a while to understand what it is. I would wish we have more concise description and value proposition. E.g. Development Tooling that lets you better manage different architecture patterns.

Hard to guess. Likely worth investigating, but as secondary priority: 1. You may end up just getting very short and weak immunity, making this approach ineffective. 2. You may get a combination of immunity which can have different efficienc

Great move! 30% is a case for antitrust given how big Apple App Store today is. 15% seems reasonable, 10% would be ideal. Though it should be 15% for everybody, no artificial caps. Moreover, I believe once you become a platform there shoul

Good: + ~94.5% of individuals achieve immunity. Better than Pfizer, though we need more data to be sure. + no significant side-effects. + no special deep freezing. -20C is good for 6 month storage, -2 to -9 for 30 days comparing to Pfizer -

Michele Moore movies optimize for publicity, not scientific accuracy. There are some truths in the movie (e.g. biomass would not work), but many times he is plain wrong. E.g. 8% solar efficiency, when my neighbours installed 21% one and 15%

Would not be easier to produce synthetic kerosene fuel from captured CO2 and hydrogen. The process is straightforward: 1. A lot of cheap solar energy, from the best location. 2. Electrolyse to produce hydrogen. 3. Capture CO2. Either from a
