Also, every commit upstream is stable by definition! Human failures aside, nothing should go upstream that isn't "stable/tested".

"Squashing" is just merging neighboring commits. I do that all the time!

Usually when I work on something, commit incomplete work, work some more, commit, rinse, repeat, then when the whole thing is done I rewrite the history so that I have changes segregated into meaningful commits. E.g., I might be adding a feature and find and fix a few bugs in the process, add tests, fix docs, add a second, minor feature, debug my code, add commits to fix my own bugs, then rewrite the whole thing into N bug fix commits and 2 feature commits, plus as many test commits as needed if they have to be separate from related bug fix commits. I find it difficult to ignore some bug I noticed while coding a feature just so that I can produce clean history in one go without re-writing it! People who propose one never rewrite local history propose to see a single merge commit from me for all that work. Or else the original commits that make no logical sense.

Too, I use "WIP" commits as a way to make it easy to backup my work: commit extant changes, git log -p or git format-patch to save it on a different filesystem. Sure, I could use git diff and thus never commit anything until I'm certain my work is done so I can then write clean history once without having to rewrite. But that's silly -- the end result is what matters, not how many cups of coffee I needed to produce it.

No, I was making a general point about what's productive investment and what isn't.

In the US, we're doing a bad job of making our deficits count. That will be bad in the medium and long term. In the short term, any spending is mildly stimulative. (Though spending that doesn't create future growth is essentially what creates the situation China is in: you're creating future debt-servicing obligation without creating debt-servicing capacity -- so you're making yourself poorer.)

I was just making a point about economics. I'll spare you my political opinions about the utility of US deficits, or the direction we're going, but based on your tone I imagine we might agree quite a bit more than you think.

As yongjik commented elsewhere, an order of magnitude more people died as a result of the evacuation than the WHO predicts would die of additional cancer deaths. And that's assuming a linear no-threshold model of radiation exposure, when current thinking is that a threshold-based model is more accurate.

As s/he summarizes, more people died as a result of running away from the disaster than would have died if they'd stayed put.

We're saying the same thing. Most central banks, e.g. the Federal Reserve, were created by law. The Congress giveth and the Congress taketh away. In any case, the comment I was replying to seemed to imply central banks are privately owned. That's what I was refuting.
15+ years of experience gives me enough info to know what timelines should normally be. These people/teams took far longer and produced less (overall and per day).

This is human nature, people will look out for themselves. Many, if not most, are looking to do the least amount of work in return for the largest reward, and it's very easy at bigger companies to pad hours, compounded by bureaucracy and poor management. This is seen in many other professions amongst all types of people, nothing specific to software.
I would question your assumption there; plenty of Somali diaspora move back and live in Somalia or Somaliland.
Functional hospitals, schools, universities, utilities and services. No crime, no warlords and no bandits. Economic stability and religious freedom.

Sure, Barre was a dictator, there was state sanctioned violence but for the average Somali on the street life was better in contrast to what followed which was:

Anarchy, random violence, war lords, checkpoint extortion, no services, no schools, no hospitals, no utilities, telecommunications were monopolized and the owners became defacto rulers who maintained anarchy to ensure tax-free profits. Massive increase in maternal mortality, reduction in life expectancy etc etc.

No one is saying Barre and the regime was great, but in comparison its pretty clear it was superior.
This may be a banal point, but do you think the increasing concentration of wealth within the American upper class, with a simultaneous impoverishment of the middle class, is such a reverse wealth transfer?
The company has only 4 more years of patent exclusivity in the US, and 3 more years in Europe. If there is really SO MUCH MONEY to be made by selling it, wouldn't we expect other companies to be developing their own version right now, so they can sell it in 2021. And wouldn't the presence of many different sellers reduce the price? [1] End result, new drug that benefits patients, at steadily lower prices... isn't that what we want? Is there some reason to think that other companies will NOT want a piece of that large pile of money?

I intensely dislike the way pharma companies "buy" the opinions of prominent doctors and get them to sell their drugs for them. There are many similarly unethical things that the pharma companies do, but having made a drug that seems to help patients, and then charging as much as they can for the limited time that they can does not seem unreasonable.

Sadly, for me you made the opposite point. The column aligned sections were far easier to see the sections than the other.

Now, I do think this is of rather limited value. So I wouldn't die on this hill. But, column alignment is clearly superior to my subjective eye. It is a shame not everyone has align-regexp.
The citizens elect the government, so I have to take issue with this point. Wealthy people do have quite a bit of influence though.

Basically what I'm saying is, we can elect a government that serves our own interest if we cared to.

If it does get ugly, and the government/military turns on its citizens then the US as we know it will be dead or on life support. Probably, in such a scenario, people won't go quietly into that night.

> That puts 200k right around the mark for a livable wage

To begin with, when discussing wages most people are assuming for a single person taking care of his or herself. The wage needed to support a fully family including enough for a stay-at-home parent would be significantly higher.

Even with all of that a family of 4 with only a single adult working is estimated a living wage in SF area is deemed to be 70k.[1] Not 200k. I'm assuming you're meaning "livable wage" to be different than "living wage".

Even if we were to going with the businessinsider data, which says 90k for expenses for a family, you're claiming that a family would need to spend almost 10k in discretionary spending every month for a "livable wage"? Remember all required expenses have been paid for, this would just be for discretionary. If you've already paid for "housing, food, childcare, transportation, healthcare, taxes and other necessities, and taxes" and are still going through an additional 10k/month, you're beyond a "livable wage".

I love these stories, although they are not new. See, for example, the renowned painter Pierre Brassau:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Brassau

"Rolf Anderberg of the Göteborgs-Posten wrote, "Brassau paints with powerful strokes, but also with clear determination. His brush strokes twist with furious fastidiousness. Pierre is an artist who performs with the delicacy of a ballet dancer.""

The problem​ was that Mr. Brassau was a chimpanzee.

Do you expect it to matter? If so, why?

I think the answer is probably "no", but depends on what you mean by "tech hub" and whether "HN standards" means "Silicon Valley standards".

I doubt most people in SV would consider Atlanta a tech hub. There isn't a ton of money in Atlanta, so it's ended up with a radically different model than SV: move to another city, bootstrap, or die. The resulting culture is much more focused on early revenue and much less focused on raising money.

Another major difference is that Atlanta's entrepreneur population looks older and more experienced (on average) than in SV. Many are first-time entrepreneurs, but have had careers in industry.

> You have to incentivize and enable people in order to get them to change.

It's also possible the incentive will come by itself: if advocates of commodity money (money with an inflexible supply/stock) are right, inflation will occur in traditional currencies sooner or later. No better incentive to store your value in bitcoins than seeing the value you have in traditional currency slowly erode.

Time will tell whether this will be what introduces regular folks to cryptocurrency. If I were living in Argentina or Venezuela, it wouldn't take much convincing to get me to store at least part of my savings in cryptocurrency.
If all you want is file syncing then Syncthing is really fantastic. I have a NextCloud installation on a Raspberry Pi 3, and getting it to work well took some suffering. If you use a MySQL database and php 7 it can actually perform pretty well though, at least for a small number of clients. A big issue with the Pi is that it shares the Ethernet and USB on the same bus, so there's a hard limit to your file access speeds. But for syncing between my own machines plus the occasional file share I am extremely happy with the setup.
The Switch is highly profitable for Nvidia. They could be looking at upwards of $100 million a year in profit on the Switch, and upwards of $400 million a year in revenue, almost doubling the size of their Tegra division. $100 million in profit and $400 million in revenue for a company that does just under $7 billion in revenue is 2016 is very significant.

In theory, I'm still waiting to see it in practice. The Bernie Sanders situation from last election was a decent illustration of how legitimate the election process is, and they took care of him before the gloves even came off. (Trump was far trickier but as it turns out he's more of the same, if not worse.)

The Fed was enacted by the federal government and lives under its rule of law. I'm not sure what you're digging at.

I think we need numbers because I don't know what you mean when you say, "a whole hell of a lot of money." It looks like the citizens hold 70% of the debt. And keep in mind, these countries come to us to put their money in treasury bonds. They buy bonds that don't pay a very spectacular rate either (2.28% for 10 year bond). I'd caution against the rhetoric that we are broke, or people don't want to lend to us. It's often pushed by people who want to reduce federal spending (usually spending cuts on healthcare and welfare for the less fortunate).

Solow-Swan model is based on neoclassical economics that assumes a closed market with zero technological growth. In the event of technological growth it assumes a steady state is still reached. And I quote, "Due to Common Sense." [1] How TF do you consider this a valid scientific theory?

This is a theory based on NeoClassical economics which modern Behavior Economics finds that the models of NeoClassical economics fail in nearly every situation [2].

The Solow-Swan model has no rigor, predictions, or testable results to justifying its usage nor faith in its system. Science is a quantitative game, yet economics isn't?

Yes I believe that would the one and the same.

I find it very ironic that Moody is pointing a finger at China's "debt-fueled binge" when plenty of federal debt issues are staring us right in the face here in the US.

The 8 years of Obama doubled a national debt that had taken about 230 years to accumulate. No regime in the history of America has even come close to that debt figure, and current US obligations looking forward cha-ching in ar around $200T more, far more then we can ever hope to afford.

China, being a one-party communist rule, probably has a much better chance of fixing its issues then we do due to the lack of any political infighting. It's leaders can do whatever they need to fix budget shortfalls, irregardless of having to worry about reelections.

Being obvious here, but what about pot? Have personally done mushrooms 5 or so times. and while it can be pretty casual with a small dose, it easily gets into the realm of somewhat-spiritual meta-thinking (after a few of these experiences I didnt much desire them anymore) .

A salient difference between existential and incidental reverse wealth transfers appears to be (a) the existential pain the rulers, as a whole, defer by enacting them and (b) their intent. Consider the 2008 bailouts [1]. The masses helped, in part, pay the salaries of well-compensated professionals [2]. But could Washington, D.C. have let the banks fail? Probably. Were politicians primarily concerned with the bank executives rebelling? Or were the masses interests' in mind? I think it's safe to say the latter was the intent behind the bailouts, even if a good amount of the former happened along the way

Another example is the scientific and military grant-making processes. Such grants may fund labs and companies with wealthy owners and managers. But that isn't the intent behind the grants. Furthermore, politicians--as a group--don't existentially fear the defense contractors or contract-lab operators.

Now consider Venezuela. Babies are starving [3]. Yet bondholders get paid. Why is the government more afraid of its bondholders than citizens? If it's because the government fears the bondholders' reactions, e.g. military insurrection, more than popular revolt then it's a desperate maneuver.
