This does NOT happen with Finnish tax rate. Your marginal tax rate can jump but that only for the euros after that bump. Your total tax rate goes up in more slowly. You’re always better off with the extra euro of income. See graph here: ht

Iran letting ships through for too small price means that oil price will fall and their only leverage over USA goes away.

I think Israeli position is what a security researcher states in this FT article: https://www.ft.com/content/dd070ee7-7021-4f90-86ec-690fe6aa3... > Summarising the Israeli government’s position, Citrinowicz said: “I

Looks very interesting! In your pre-made Estonia-scenario, some of the attacks come from Finland. What's that about? I understand the launches from the Baltic Sea, but launching Kalibr next to a Finnish garrison seems a bit far-fetched

Out of the examples, aerospace engineering was helped by many government interventions such as war-time buying and development of titanium working. On the other hand, it's also hindered by government regulations making all new developm

Could there be other explanations here? Like marginal cost of one taco when there might be less customers?

Interesting. What do you see being disappointing about tweets on Israel? I've mostly seen him care about Palestine civilian deaths but I can't say I've read and remember 100% of his tweets.

Both landfills and incinerators are good places for waste as long as they're not next to water bodies. They don't contribute to the waste in oceans that this sub-thread seemed to be about.

On chat applications: In Finland no one used AIM and everyone used messenger. I suspect this was the norm also elsewhere in Europe. I am talking about Messenger 4.6 that came built in with windows xp and its later versions, not the business

I’d say that it’s backwards compatibility. My understanding is that moving from 1.1 to 2.0 (that introduced reified generics) required work from developers of libraries. It was also done in relative infancy of the ecosystem. But I trust som

I've heard this often. Why don't they scale? I used them for some years for a team of ten or so people who all first had to learn to understand how they worked so might that be the problem?

I've been a proponent of Datadog usage over building inferior stuff with Grafana, Prometheus, ELK & it's ilk. But I never thought that Datadog could be 8+ hours down on such integral parts as monitoring and logs.

They sure can be seen as reactionary as one of CSPI's areas of interest in "The Great Awokening" (see https://www.cspicenter.com/about ). I found the article interesting as I've just started to work in US

Sure, it all could've been avoided. Say, by similar vassalization as Belarus has gone through. Ukraine was too free of a society for that as many of its members did not want that.

With dry counties you mean counties that 25+ years ago allowed retail of alcohol only in Alko, the state monopoly store? I don't think counties can fully forbid sales of alcohol.

I would expect print-debugging to change the behavior in such cases too. Usually writing to stdout is behind some synchronization so using print debugging will drop performance and make program less parallel.

I think most of the companies are selling the vaccine quite cheaply. Moderna and Pfizer are asking for 15-20 $ / person for vaccine that has value of thousands of euros. Which, as Eliezer notes, is part of the problem. That together wi

Yes, that will happen eventually. Valhalla has now been coming since 2014, so I would not expect it to help any software project in the next two years or so.

I can feel for Mr. Kovar (the writer of the latter link). Looking at his resume, he did wisen up and did his master's thesis in computer science. I trust he's happier now than as a undergrad student.

McAfee at least seemed to me like Intel executives didn't know what to do with the money they had, but didn't want to return it to the shareholders. Instead it was burnt on a company in dying industry selling bad products.

That was not because of foundry process, but because of better architecture. Intel was leading or tied at process width and clock speed the whole time.

Only a part of the interest comes from risk. One important part is that if I were to give you 10$ in 10 years, it has less value to you than me giving you 10$ now (which is the difference between lending you lending to me and you not lendin

Jurassic Park was published 1990. I don't think that birds being the closest relatives of dinosaurs was established beyond doubt at that time as the theory of dinosaurs being ancestors of birds was revived only in the 1970s.

JVM doesn't know about generic types at the runtime. There's no specialization of HashMaps, it's just arrays of points to objects all around. With project Valhalla: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_V
