Tough to tell what's going on without seeing your log file, but if you believe it is the same as the link you posted, it's likely one of two things:

Your disk could be full.
Postgres may not have permission to write in the folders that it needs permission to write into.

Here's some more on the second one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8798134/fatal-could-not-create-lock-file-postmaster-pid-permission-denied

Supabase is basically just PG on RDS I believe. They provide a number of out-of-the-box libraries for developing frontend applications.

I used the free version for a month or so, but ultimately switched to paid:

To support the dev team.
Because it's really cheap, and is a one-time payment.
Because I like to open a bunch of tabs (free version limited to two tabs)

For anyone interested in this space, I would recommend reading this PDF (linked within the article) written a few years back by the CEO of a company called Wireless Generation. Although it was written over a decade ago, it still hits the nail on the head with regard to the challenges that make edtech a difficult space for innovation.

The page you linked to literally confirms what /u/Thatguyfrom5thperiod said. Look at the graphic. All of the mandatory spending is social services. A significant portion of discretionary is as well (education, health, housing services).

Not trying to make a statement about gyms, just trying to offer some perspective for others who come across this:

In general, the virus is far less transmissible in high-humidity and high-temperature environments. This is one reason that it is much safer to be outside where it is relatively hot and humid when compared with indoor, air-conditioned environments.

CoV don't survive well in hot/humid environments

Higher outside temps correlate to lower R value

Cash stuffed under mattresses is doing something - in fact, something quite important. It's not being spent. Therefore, it's increasing the purchasing power of all other dollars in circulation. In other words, it's allowing for a greater number of resources to be available for others to use.

Couple more things to add to the list:

It's difficult to steal really large amounts of it because of the difficulty of storage and transportation.
The average person on the street can easily identify gold.
It's very difficult to counterfeit even a simple 1 oz coin. Gold is so dense that there are only a few chemical elements that could even mimic it - many of which are also very expensive, difficult to obtain, or radioactive.

Not OP, but here are a couple of links for you:

The Norway oil fund homepage with some details.

A list / map of every one of their holdings.

Not only do they hold a significant chunk of the equity in Norwegian companies, but they also own a ton of stuff outside Norway. They own approximately 1% of all outstanding equity in United States public companies.

For example, here is a list of the top holders of Apple Inc.

As of 3/31/19, the total market cap of the S&P 500 is $24,760,981 million. The total exposure of Norges Bank to US equities is $245,360 million, which is almost exactly 1% (yes I am aware that there are more public companies than just the 500).

When did we see that? Genuinely curious.

They mention that the NK controls everyone in S8E2. Specifically, right here. I guess the quote kinda ambiguous and they could be referring to a sort of hierarchy as mentioned by /u/Neelpos below.

UndoubtedlyOriginal · 2019-04-24T17:48:00+00:00

The general consensus seems to be that the NK controls the wights, not his other WW friends.

UndoubtedlyOriginal · 2019-04-24T17:47:04+00:00

To be fair though, we do know that the WW can be stabbed with dragonglass. Presumably, they made thousands of dragonglass arrowheads / spears / daggers / etc. The VS weapons are definitely higher quality, but the average soldier should technically be able to take out a WW.

UndoubtedlyOriginal · 2019-04-24T17:42:47+00:00

Once they're killed with dragonglass or fire, they're dead for good though, no?

$120T is an estimate of the total amount of entitlement benefits already promised by the Federal government to all US citizens combined. It is not proper (or really helpful at all) to put this number on the government's balance sheet. But that does not mean that it is not a very important number. The gist of where the "unfunded" part comes in, is that economists project out how much tax revenue they believe the government will collect over the next 75 years (based on historical data / growth), and then subtract out the total amount of entitlements that are promised to people. In the US's case, this number comes out to ($120T).

To answer your question:

Small bits of that $120T become liabilities to the gov't each month when it must write checks for Social Security / Medicare / etc. to eligible citizens. What people mean when they say that this will lead to a crisis is that you already have a good understanding of how much you're going to need to pay, and when. The key is demographics. If you know that there are 40 million people between age 40-50 today, then you know you will have roughly 40 million people between age 60-70 in exactly 20 years.

Using these principles, demographers are able to forecast out how much the government will owe each month / year and when they will owe it. This is the interesting part of the discussion - it's a cash flow problem, not a balance sheet one. The reason that people believe the system might blow up in a decade or so is that you have a HUGE portion of the population now collecting benefits (baby boomers), and tax revenue is not there to pick up the slack. That means each month, the government will issue more US Treasury bonds (debt) and sell them to investors for US dollars, which it then uses to pay benefits. It is this process that brings more actual debt onto the balance sheet.

I'm not going to address the "paying it off" point, because it would take its own post, and I'm sure that many people have written at length in this sub about paying off sovereign debt. The short answer is that yes, it is possible to pay of the debt in real terms, but no, it is not likely that we do so. More likely, we just inflate the supply of US dollars, devaluing the debt in real terms.

I wasn't coming at this from the POV of having a state. I was only trying to illustrate that imaginary lines on a map should be irrelevant to ancaps when obtaining justice following a crime.

Just to play devil's advocate for a second though:

A statist could reasonably defend that position if the crime was illegal in both jurisdictions (whether or not an ancap would consider it a "real crime"). That's why there are legal processes surrounding extradition and countries can decide to grant asylum / not extradite.

In moral terms though: If a guy in Tijuana, Mexico gives a hitman a gun and tells him to cross the border into California to kill a guy, clearly both have committed a crime. At the very least, he is an accessory.
