>>My point is though, if you naively ignore V in the equation (and yes, usually it's considered to be a constant), then you might think that increasing price of labor can lead to decrease of production, because the term PY must be constant.

The P represents the nominal price of goods/services, which is not the same thing as the 'real' price. When V is increased, P is increased correspondingly, which means the price of everything goes up, and the faster circulating money buys the same amount as before. So Y doesn't increase if you increase P. The PY side of the equation can increase without any logical inconsistency, since it represents the nominal price of all economic output, and not the 'real value' of that output.

When PY increases without an increase Y, you're simply getting inflation, where everyone earns $2 increase of 1, but everything costs 2X as much.

Anyway, the point is that increasing V has no effect on total consumption, so there's no benefit from deliberately boosting V. If that weren't the case, you could grow the economy simply by mandating that everyone spend more, which obviously would be magical economics.

>>Redistribution in UBI has then potential to reduce savings (because savings really make rational sense only if you're powerful enough) and through that increase the economic production in the slump.

Most savings are in the form of investment. Reducing the savings rate and savings not only will make the economy more fragile to shocks, but will also reduce the investment needed for economic expansion. The ultimate source of all economic growth is investment. A policy that reduces investment is harmful to efforts to grow the economy.
I wonder whether the dimes remained legal tender in this process. You could have paid a parking fine with a stack of them...
In this case, though, the point is that it doesn't actually matter.

Maybe the Washington Consensus really is a racket designed to turn underdeveloped nations into 1%-favoring client states. (Frankly, the least convincing part of Perkins is the claim that this is a formal conspiracy instead of a convenient result of non-conspiracy functioning.)

Even if that's true, refusing to deal with PDVSA is far from unreasonable on a practical and moral level. Maduro is running an unsustainable, patronage-based con, to the detriment of his country. Freezing his ability to do that via international finance is a pretty reasonable move, so it doesn't actually tell us anything about the presence or absence of a conspiracy.

Wow, that's actually really impressive for the price. If only it didn't look so silly. Seriously, every fully electric vehicle out right now, except for Teslas, look like total jokes imo. Just make an EV, and give it a full size sedan frame. I can guarantee EV sales would see a boost.

Also, does anyone know how EVs in general handle New England tier winters? I know the Model 3 will eventually have an AWD model, but what about the battery? Hell, lead acids barely work long enough to run the starter when it's -5F out.
The big furry clubs are pretty nice. Somehow they manage to have DJs running music 24/7, or at least for all the days and hours I checked.
True, for some farming elements are removed from the plot of land faster than natural replenishment. These will have to be added back by humans in some way. The main constituents of food, on the other hand, come from the atmosphere. Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen (with the right plants/bacteria). Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life [1]. This soil is needed for efficient agriculture and certain farming practices increase the amount of soil and other decrease it. Once it is gone, farming stops.

A question and a story for any intrepid biologists and geneticists. I'm seeing in other comments that this is fundamentally a problem with how genome sequencing works today.

When I was a movie theatre projectionist, I had a similar problem. Movies have to be assembled onto platters, from a handful of reels which contain 10-20 minute lengths of film. There's about a mile of film per hour, and to assemble it quickly you have a motorized platter and a table with its own motor with dials to control the speed of one or the other. How it should work is you take a center ring - a circle with a gap to wind film through and metal spokes that sit in the platter - and you spin the film on. You put the reels one by one onto this, stopping with each one to cut the footer of one and the header of the next to splice them together with tape.

Well, that's how it's supposed to work. Sometimes, the film tightens up, when moving the film from one platter to another. The center ring spokes might not fit, or might create additional stress.

Well, I went full speed ahead anyway, and when a tiny bit of slack resulted in a sudden jerk on the platter, the center ring popped off, and about an hour of film flew over my hand and into the wall behind me. What happened next is almost impossible to describe. A circular disk of film and metal hitting a solid wall briefly became a vertical column as the tension-less film was forced to go any direction except forward, and the result then splayed itself out on the floor in front of me in a tangled mess a mile long.

Perhaps like an early sequencing machine, my first attempt at recovering this was to look at a piece of the film and determine what part of the movie it was from, and to begin throwing away the parts I thought were from trailers.

They weren't. It was the wrong movie.

I despaired, the film was a mile long and tangled into unbelievable knots. I had to cut it to untangle it. But how?

And it hit me, I knew where a handful of colored markers were, and I began randomly pulling segments of film out from the mess, placing masking tape across a frame, and making 3 lines in 3 different colors. I made dozens of these little loops, and that was how I put it together. The process: cutting, labeling, and placing the segments into new reels made my shift from that night run into the next day's matinee.

This process was painstaking, and that's where my question leads: can we label the ends when we cut up the DNA, like I did with my film? Are we stuck watching chromosomes splash against the wall and shatter into indecipherable pieces?

That is assuming that you chain promises like

a
.then(b).catch(bhandle)
.then(c).catch(chandle)

instead of

a
.then(aout => b(aout).catch(bhandle))
.then(bout => c(bout).catch(chandle))

which admittedly is pretty ugly in javascript.
They do this in many action movies (especially Michael Bay) as well. They believe the audience prefers these over-the-top effects. Based off the revenue of entire film franchises with millions of people returning for sequels of more of the same, I think they nailed what consumers want?

No, my D&D character is well done.

The article still does not specify what D&D versions were collected.
Since we're talking about pedantry and how it relates to users learning and using vim, let's talk about clipboards. Your clipboard is the '+' register. Cutting or yanking text does not put it into the '+' register, but rather a specified default local register (is it normally 0? Somebody feel free to correct me here). As a consequence, if you delete or yank some text, it doesn't go to the clipboard. If you really want it to go to your clipboard, specify '+' as the default register or call di"+p in place of dip.

This naturally confuses beginners because the concept of registers is completely foreign to other editors. Emacs can provide similar functionality, but by that point Vim is no longer in "weird" mode compared to what you know. We do a lot of simplification when talking about Vim, but small points like this can be immensely confusing for people who just want something to behave the way they're used to.
It looks like, same as for your link, SEER classifies tissues using the ICD-O-3 scheme: https://seer.cancer.gov/icd-o-3/

So if there is a cancer called "Papillary squamous cell carcinoma, non-invasive", I would want a count of "papillary squamous cells".
And get up 1.5 hours earlier, two days a week, and get home 1.5 hours later, to sit in their cars?

Moreover: the cadence of business just won't let this happen, or it would be widespread already.

The chance that is coming is that cars drive themselves. As a consequence, part of the business day is going to be spent working during the commute.

>> As far as "deregulation", the devil's in the details, but the left generally believe such often leads to pollution and health risks, noncompetitive oligopolies and monopolies, and financial crashes. The right believes this to be an exaggeration.

There is also the argument that regulations primarily create oligopolies and walled gardens that exacerbate income inequality. This is part of a larger argument that state intervention in the market is primarily motivated by private interests, and serves their interests. The FDIC would be one such example:

OP here. Optimism tastes like anxiety in my mouth, and my laughter and sarcasm is just a front for how damn hard I'm kicking my own ass.

I think they were, like you said, just feeling jaded. I feel it too though...looking at where I am, at nearly 30, and seeing where people who are younger than I am are. But, man, we all have our own stuff we go through.

Better late than never, always keep swimming and kicking so we can thrive. That's the anxiety talking. I'm positive because I have to be. If I wasn't positive, I wouldn't be kicking so hard xD
Haven't paid attention to this area in a while but back in the day I've wondered about the garbage-in garbage-out problem in genome databases. A lot of subsequent sequence assemblies were made on the basis of approximate matching to certain results in the database that have no quality information, and conclusions made on the basis of further approximate matching across datasets. Has anyone seriously worked out how reliable some of these conclusions are? At least physicists spend a lot of time worrying about p-values.

As a former lawyer, I can say that prices these days are high for lawyers and other service providers. Associates/employees are paid hourly so there's limited upside. You can buy a house on a single legal salary, but you won't have much cushion.

Law firm partners are in a much better position, but you can't make equity partner (not just "income partner", which is basically a glorified title they give so you can go get more clients) until you're about 40. And nobody wants to wait that long to buy a home.

Basically, "law firm partners" can be clumped together with VCs, since they both hold stakes in (hopefully) profitable businesses. But most lawyers are not partners.

Years ago when I lived in suburban Texas with a typical suburban house with a back yard that had open space behind it I had a terrible insect problem. Exposed skin would get a mosquito bite-per-minute, the dogs were coming inside covered in fleas, etc. So I went to Home Depot and bought this yard spray that promised to kill mosquitos, fleas, ticks, etc. and I hosed down the back yard in a desperate attempt to reclaim it for our families use.

What struck me as soon as I was done spraying the yard was how quiet it was. It was eerie. It then occurred to me that I hadn't just killed the pests, I had killed everything.

These sorts of products are in every hardware store. How many other people just casually eliminate all insects in their yard, and perhaps do so frequently? What do those chemicals do when they wash away into the watershed? Same question for all the chemicals used in agriculture - it can't be good, right?

In a way it boggles the mind that this is an acceptable product, which is socially acceptable to use. I certainly regret it, but I seem to be in the minority.
Well, I think pretty much any and all acquisitions make sense for WeWork. Arguably the most over-valued company in the world IMO. When that happens - diversify or wave hands faster. Acquisitions do both.
I think you are right about the "infinite scale" thing but also that the bit count is correct up to a multiplication coefficient, given a specific resolution you are trying to achieve.

To put it in mathematical terms, there is no reason to use the log base 2, but the formulae is definitely a logarithm. So, again, 20 bits is a minimum bit count conveniently used to compare with others situation (e.g. "if you are shooting not in direct sunlight, you will only need 12 bit minimum, not 20 bit minimum so this method of shooting is OK") and make decision about your color pipeline

You will need 20 bits if a human can distinguish 1,000,000 levels between those two extremes

It's not about what we can perceive but how we store and manipulate amount of lights in our pipelines
Assume a linear scale, and assume the 1,000,000:1 range is between the highest luminance (1,000,000) to the lowest luminance (1) that isn't pure black.

(Pure black might be zero, but that's useless for computing a ratio, so it doesn't give you a resolution.)

Then you need 20 bits, because log_2 1e6 rounds up to 20 (equivalently, 2^20 <= 1,000,000 < 2^21).

If you used only 8 bits, the ratio between highest and lowest (non-zero) luminance would be only 256:1, or 1,000,000:3,906.

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the project, I'm actually taking into account the feedback. The reason we created this mascot was mostly to have different sets of stickers in the project.

I'm personally paying artists to create original Creative Common content and then have exclusive stickers for each Movim releases, if you have a look at the previous versions we already added a little racoon and a marmot (to also support the project ZeMarmot http://film.zemarmot.net/en/ and by extension the funding of The GIMP project). It's also to support content with free license and push forward artists within the project :)

For this set, the idea was also to submit those stickers on other services like Viber or LINE (that is actually the N°1 messaging network in Japan) to actually fund the project and bring people from other countries to it.

I'm really sorry if this is shocking some people and I'll see what I can do. Also, as an admin, you can easily remove (or add) new sets of stickers on your own Movim instance if you want.
Of course most would need to save for at least several years, but I think that’s the case for most people.

Yes but libc provides a juicy and consistent set of code you can jump to. Remember you don't have to jump to the start of a function. ASLR helps this a bit as well.

I don't know if there's supposed to be some depth-of-field effect going on here, or what, but I find it really jarring that the resolution of the textures applied to objects in the scene are so different. The car and that one section of wall are super-sharp and high-resolution, then right next to them some of the trash is fuzzy, blurry lo-res textures.

Relocated from SOMA to West Seattle ~2 years ago. Went from paying 2300 for an 800sf 1br above a liquor store to 1750 for a 3br house with a 30 minute commute by bus. They have beat cops for transit here, which means they're not rolling mental institutions, and make for a decent commute. It's getting more expensive, what I have now would probably be 2300 in this market, but its' still an enormous quality increase over SF. I took a 10k paycut but it was negated by the friendlier taxes, and raises since mean i'm taking home more per month despite making less gross pay.

Austin was also on the list but offered woefully uncompetitive salaries.

I have family in VA and an alma mater in upstate NY, so the research triangle and tertiary hubs like Pittsburgh or Buffalo are always of interest, but the product design market in those cities is extremely anemic relative to the west coast.

I don't know, but it's not "unknowable".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index#R...

There are known ways to minimize corruption. Transparency and public accountability, public tenders, well documented public procurement workflow, mandatory conflict of interest disclosures, and so on.

It's not rocket science.

And yes, I know. There are always favorites, friends, family. That's the thing that a well functioning judiciary should be able to post-correct. (Similarly how EU market liberalization must be coupled with enforcement of no-most-favored-nation, the same treatment should apply to local family owned and non-local non-family owned companies.)

Of course, the populace has to be the driving force, to elect people who promulgate these equality ideas from the top.

Whether Tencent buys from Tesla or from someone else doesn't matter. The increased demand pushes the share price up either way. Tesla has sold shares this year, and because Tencent's buy pushed the share price higher Tesla saw more proceeds from the same number of shares than they would have had Tencent not acquired a 5% stake.
