They also buy other currencies (both have foreign reserves in the hundreds of billions), commodities (gold, oil, silver, aluminum), stocks and bonds, etc...

Gold's value is as a commodity, and a historic store of value, much like other commodities (businesses and governments also hoard oil to ride out price and fluctuations). But it's not about to replace fiat any time soon (or ever again really).

Edit - I should add, at various times throughout history, grain, livestock and spices were all used as currency. Gold's special place comes from the fact it was one of the very first metals to be worked (~7000 years ago), it's easy to work, it doesn't tarnish, and of course it's shiny (so it was widely used as jewellery). It's durability and perceived value allowed it to be traded in a way that you can't trade goats or barley. But at the same time, there's nothing particularly special about it, it's always traded much the same as other durable commodities, that fact is just hidden sometimes by the fact that for a period of history, everything was compared to gold, instead of another unit.
The most likely answer is that Apple has one of the best engineering groups at designing and implementing ARM processors in the industry. The A series chips for example have been absolute power/performance leaders for many generations, and the things hey can do with the tiny S-series chips in the watch are really remarkable. It would be shocking if they were to consider anything other than AMR?

>Being judged incapable of producing your own work BURNS.

Or you could take it as that you are so much better than your class mates that your work stands out as being exceptional. This is a huge complement.

I used to be a professor and I can tell you plagiarism is rampant. When a student hands in a work that is far above their peers you are suspicious. I would never accuse a student of cheating without evidence, but I have asked many about their work to ascertain if they had actually produced the work themselves. In every case where I was suspicious (around 20), the person did not have the slightest clue about what they had supposedly written. Professors are cynical for a reason.

Ah, so is this more of an academic thing. Not just for the layperson, but for the economist. Like a dissertation that needs to be backed up with a ton of evidence and references.

Currency, and currency-denominated assets (e.g., loans) are reduced in value by inflation.

Real wealth -- land, plant, equipment, labour, intellectual capital -- are not currency-denominated, and are not affected by inflation.

Invest in real assets (and avoid bubbles). You're inflation-proofed.
The AuthaGraph map is an equal area map, not a conformal map, so its local maps are distorted. For example, you can see that the meridians and parallels fail to meet at right angles.

Your argument says nothing about a university's reputation and its effect on salaries, so its completely irrelevant to ZanyProgrammer's point. I wouldn't be surprised if an english major from Stanford out-earns an engineer from Chico, because there's lots of companies who only hire "the best" (aka people from top universities).

Yeah, everyone knows that a bachelor's is the minimal requirement. But I've never seen or heard of a situation of someone being denied promotion because of the lack of a degree. (Maybe in the government?) OTOH, I've worked with a lot of business people who can't even type a coherent email, much less do anything which isn't completely reactionary. I'd say the degree is mostly incidental and not the root cause.

No, I just think the one cable solution with a USB-C monitor is really neat. I won't be getting one for personal use because they're too expensive right now.

I'll be picking up one of the $60-100 hubs/docks that have a single USB-C connector and HDMI/Ethernet/USB-A to connect all of my devices. When the monitors are cheaper in 4 years I'll buy one of those.

My point was that we're actually moving to a really good solution where you can plug in a single, non-proprietary cable and get all the throughput and peripheral connectors you could ever need. It's not even particularly expensive compared to a dock 5-10 years ago.

What We’ll Do When the Work Is Gone
> Nobody made the communist countries perform mass slaughter.

And communist ideas also had zero to do with those countries committing mass
slaughter.

Communism, even in a very flawed form, has indeed succeeded. See Cuba. The
main reason they would be wealthier with capitalism is because the U.S. would
have proactive economic ties instead of working to isolate them. Given their
isolation and inherent lack-of-wealth relatively speaking, communism there is
at least in a state no reasonable person can describe as 0% successful, even if
you have points of criticism.

In terms of kibbutzen, you do realize that the entire premise of
self-suffiency, i.e. sustinance farming, is basically the definition of
poverty, right? I mean, the whole premise that a small community can achieve
for themselves in isolation a whole decent standard of living is nonsense. We
acheive the greatest standards of living through widespread connection in
larger groups on larger scales. Trade and all and specialization… No effort for
tiny isolated communes could ever achieve the quality of life of large
cosmopolitan economies, That issue isn't a strictly communist vs capitalist
one.

Communism is indeed a simplistic model that is unworkable in a rigid dogmatic
sense, just like anarchy or capitalism. There's no example of pure version of
any of these ever existing.

Being closed to discussing the actual ideas of communism by just talking about
Stalin's atrocities or tiny communes failing is a good way to just close
yourself to actually engaging with the intellectual questions. Obviously, all
philosophical / political principles are distinct from the complexity of
real-world economic practice. We can still discuss the principles as a way to
think about and explore the issues. Communist principles, as ideas, have
nothing to do with mass slaughter.

If you want to do fraud you can do anywhere. But fraud won't go very far. You would be caught.

One example:
I quit my last job because one co worker (c++) try to set a flag in destructor and checking that flag in member function to fix a segfault. Even though the person was having an ivy league degree and 10+ year of experience I don't want to work with them. Couple of other guys also left the company.

So it won't last long and a fraud would be caught. A fraud might end up working in sucker jobs and always wonder why they ask algorithmic question in interviews ;)

But they are. Real estate taxes are based on value, which goes up with inflation. Some states (Oregon) tax all business property based on its value, which goes up with inflation. When you sell the real assets, the inflated value is taxed as "income".
I suppose it is slightly better than spending all day on stack overflow.
I don't mean to sound hostile but you're painting the Seattleites who came before you with a rather broad brush. I own a free-standing house in Seattle and I am very much a YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard). So are many of my friends. We are fighting an entrenched mentality of "this is how it has always been and this is how it will always be," but we are winning more than we are losing. HALA, while watered down, is doing things like Mandatory Inclusive Zoning and requiring upzones around areas of transit infrastructure.

Yes, it's very slow going. But this is also a case of every time we "win," another 5,000 people show up with mountains of cash who can outbid everyone else in the region. Seattle is very popular as a place to live so we're trying to outrun both normal demand and the demand for housing that doesn't cost multiple thousands of dollars. It is a tough slog.

(By the way, Seattle has some of the most far-reaching renter protections in the state. Rent control is barred by state law but Seattle requires landlords to do a lot of things, provide a lot of notice, and limit rent increases a lot more drastically than any of our surrounding suburbs. Oh, and those suburbs aren't exactly building their own capacity, either. Good luck getting a large multi-residence project approved on Mercer Island or in Bellevue outside of the downtown core. Redmond is right out. Shoreline and Renton are doing better than most; Shoreline even pushed back against its own citizens to say "look, light rail stations deserve density around them so we're doing it, sorry nearby single-family homeowners.")
Statement expressions have been supported by GCC for almost two decades. Maybe more than two decades. Most C compilers support them, including clang, Sun Studio, Intel, and many others. In fact, MSVC is the only compiler I've used that doesn't support them.

As for whether they were well thought out, consider that you have the same initialization scoping problem with C99's compound literals, and more generally with any automatic-storage variables. You cannot jump over (using goto or switch) the declaration or definition statement that instantiates the variable. It's doubly stupid when you do it with statement expressions because the warning is right there in the very small, concise section of the GCC manual explaining them. And nobody should be using a construct without understanding the rules for using it, which typically means reading the rules.

You can't fix stupid.

I was actually bit by a scoping issue like this a year or two ago. I was using a compound literal in some code that a drive-by patch submitter made work with C++. Now, I'm not a C++ programmer, but I knew that C++ didn't support C99 compound literals. Yet I stupidly assumed that because GCC and clang accepted the construct syntactically (and without warning) they'd implemented the same semantics. Well, they didn't, at least not after somebody "fixed" those compilers to give that syntax the semantics of C++ temporaries. (Which made no sense to me; it's a parse error in standard C++, and subtly changing the semantics like that was bound to break code.) The difference was important, because compound literals have block-scoped lifetimes, whereas C++ temporary objects only have expression-scoped lifetimes. In short, this caused perfectly legal C code to scribble over stack memory when compiled as C++.

I must assume at least some of the blame because I should have known better than to continue using a compound literal in header code that purported to support C++. OTOH, I had zero intention of ever using that code as C++; I just thought I was doing somebody a favor by accepting their patch. No favor goes unpunished, I guess.

As for Duff's Device... I love using the Duff's Device to implement a poor man's coroutine in standard C. You can write very clean and concise code this way. For example, here's a re-entrant implementation of POSIX getopt I wrote. It's probably the shortest correct implementation of getopt in C or most any other language.

You're right that if you've maxed out the old MBP's ports, the new one supports fewer connections at once.

But I still think it's a net win because:

- We need to buy and manage fewer cables.

- We'll no longer have the problem of having a free port, but not the right kind.

- When we buy a device, we don't have to decide which ports it should plug into. Like, when I buy a monitor, I don't have to decide whether it should have DisplayPort, HDMI, both or either.

>So does that mean, millions of WP sites with custom mods must relase release their code in some capacity?

Yes. WP plugin developers who charge for their plugins cannot reasonably attack people who bundle and resell/redistribute those plugins. GPLclub and other "resellers" of the plugins get a lot of crap from WP developers for pirating their work but it's very clear that this is not how it works.

EDIT: This is assuming you distribute/sell your plugin.
Good point, and that's why, six months back, I chose to buy an iMac 5k instead of a laptop. I saved a couple of thousand dollars, got four USB ports instead of two, and a gorgeous 27-inch 5k monitor that I couldn't buy separately [1].

In my case, mobility wasn't a requirement, so a desktop was fine.

If mobility is a requirement for you, maybe you could buy an iPad Pro or a cheaper laptop than you otherwise would buy, like the single-port Macbook.

[1] It wasn't available in India, and even if it was, it wasn't compatible with most Macbooks. The single model it was compatible with, it required two cables to be plugged in. And the monitor would have been out-of-date quickly, since it didn't support Thunderbolt 3.

You can build charts like this in svg or html right now. Basically, in Eve we are just generating the records necessary to render these views. We have a separate process that's tied to the browser that takes these records and turns them into something the browser can understand. So Eve isn't tied to html; if you write your own translation layer (and we will have many more by default in the future) then Eve can generate whatever you want.
