The grandparent was describing the long-term vs short-term effect of broad subsidies.

The short-term effect of a subsidy is a reduced cost to the consumer.

If subsidies are generally and persistently available, this reduced perceived cost increases demand, causing increased prices. The ratio of price increase to amount of subsidy (and thus whether the consumer or producer benefits from the subsidy) will depend breadth of the subsidy and on elasticity curves of supply and demand.

Then there's the increased demand because the subsidy increases ROI. further increasing prices of the fixed input (land/existing housing) to the good (living space).

That, I'm not 100% sure about. Filecoin had their ICO, now it just needs to be implemented with IPFS.

Once implemented, you should be able to buy Filecoin from market exchanges. To earn it, Filecoin will use two "proofs-of-storage". One is "proof-of-replication" wherein your IPFS node proves to be replicating data, and "proof-of-spacetime" wherein your IPFS node proves to have stored said data for a certain amount of time.

Remember, when the Fed buys a bond from the Treasury money gets printed, but the Treasury has to pay the bond back and as that happens slightly more money gets destroyed.

The amount of debt the Fed owns changes over time, it doesn't increase continuously. It tends to just maintain a fixed amount of it. It's been going down slightly lately:

Yes, but treason was still on the books, and Gorbachev's USSR was less inclined to kidnap and beat people until they confess to plotting against the Glorious Leader, because their neighbour denounced them for hanging a portrait of Stalin ten centimeters lower then the portrait of Lenin.

Even if the law is not under discretionary interpretation[1], prosecution, analysis of evidence, verdicts of guilt or innocence, policing methods, and everything else is. Counter-revolutionary activity was hardly the only thing people were purged for - espionage and treason were other incredibly popular charges. If Stalin's officials were to be believed, half the country earned its daily bread by selling the secrets of the motherland to nebulous foreign powers.[2]

Not to say that the USSR was a shining paragon of legalism in 1987, but the letter of the law was not what made it different from 1937. The USSR had all sorts of, uh, wonderful laws, most of which were enforced with incredible discretion.

[1] Although, given the incredibly broad and poorly defined nature of Article 58, its application was 100% based on discretionary interpretation. http://www.cyberussr.com/rus/uk58-e.html#58-1a

I don't believe this would even be an issue if they offered the option to not log sensitive data. I had requested that they provide something like this and someone quite senior reached out to me. He was very polite and professional. He explained that they had to keep this data for operational and compliance reasons and that all email providers are required to. However, that didn't resolve my security concern.

We ended up going with Mandrill which does offer the option to not log sensitive data ^1. Whether they log it somewhere else for the compliance reasons that Mailgun mentioned isn't mentioned anywhere in their docs or privacy policy, but doesn't seem to be accessible from everything I could find. You should never log or allow others to log password reset urls or other sensitive details.

Kubrik said aliens had abducted him and put him into a zoo, more or less. And we were seeing it from a perspective of a human not able to understand the reality of the zoo's alien form. And the room was created for the human. And then, just like how humans were created from monkeys, the star child was created from a human...evolution.

To be fair, yes, the proprietary nature of a particular chip is bad for open source, but on the other hand, the marginal cost of a chip is not zero, like it is for software. There's the chip fabrication costs which only goes down in quantity. That means there's an inherent risk in developing a new chip.

However, if you're that concerned about it, there are open source designs which create free truly random bits, so you are free to choose a design that meets your need.

The idea that the little guy needs to be made more financially insecure so those at the top can benefit from something more "financially solvent." This applies to business (less pensions, more dividends and share buybacks) and government (less pensions, lower taxes [for the rich]).

Also, IIRC, private sector pensions are quite common for CEOs and executives. They're only less common for the little guys.

Would you please not rant like this here? It isn't that you're wrong; it's that even if right, this is not in the spirit of intellectual curiosity which motivates HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Ginning up rage is a different thing, and the two are not compatible.

Take out the rage and it becomes plain that what you've written here is too generic to have much substance. Curiosity requires a gentler touch and a more specific one.

Marginal amounts of inflation are required for fiat currency to remain liquid. If currency were deflationary, people would be encouraged to hoard it. A deflationary spiral[1] is one example of what can happen in a deflationary market. Inflation is a feature; not a flaw.

Yes, that is the this is left as an exercise for the reader part of the explanation. (-:

The remaining part is to iterate the process over all of the bits in the word, using different bitmasks. The resultant set of 0 or 1 results for each bit yields the complete word.

Then one iterates that whole process over all (useful) words in (mapped) kernel memory.
Problem is, that as far as I understand, compiler "fixes" could fix attacked application. So if JavaScript code is exploiting Spectre to read passwords from your keepassx fixes need to be applied to keepassx and not to V8 engine.

(Also probably you can patch V8 interpreter to mitigate this issue, but this is a different story)
> Without a gold standard, increase in fiat currency can diminish savings through inflation.

That's true with a gold standard as well, since all that means is that printed currency is backed by a peg to gold, usually with some form (perhaps not open to all currency holders, though) of redemption pledge.

It's even true with non-debased gold currency, not just gold-backed representational currency, as demonstrated by the Spanish colonial experience.

There's no guarantee any given CL compiler will optimize such calls away. It would probably be considered wrong for the compiler to optimize them away. Remember that type declarations mean "don't check the type, ever." They do not mean "check the type at compile time" because CL never checks types at compile time.[1]

The technique in the example can defeat the purpose in simple cases (like the example) because type declarations removed runtime type checking and then you manually added it back in.

But it's a useful technique in cases such as an inner loop from which you remove type checking inside the loop, but move it out of the loop. This is an advanced CL technique. You have to be very careful about such things as adding 1 to a fixnum in the loop and possibly overflowing it, which is exactly what you have to care about in C.

[1] modulo certain compiler quirks and the use of compiler macros, which are an advanced technique.
The movie is paced really slow. A lot of it was to show off the special effects. I find Blade Runner to be similar.

I think the issue here is that if mathematics is talking about anything at all, then the search for the first cause tells us what that thing is. This is a philosophical issue separate from the sociological activity of doing mathematics. The latter doesn't need an all-encompassing foundation to continue to do useful and interesting mathematics, so pragmatics shrug the issue off. On the other hand, even if mathematics is purely about "structure", then we should still be able to organize our knowledge in a way that provides a single foundation (even if that means showing that the different formulations are logically equivalent).
Isn't this something different?

The text "... we have very little control over our basal metabolic rate ..." links to https://www.vox.com/2016/5/18/11685254/metabolism-definition... , titled "Most of us misunderstand metabolism. Here are 9 facts to clear that up."

> Building more muscles, however, may be marginally more helpful. Here's why: One of the variables that affect your resting metabolic rate is the amount of lean muscle you have. ...

> "If you have more muscle, it burns fuel more rapidly. But that’s only half the question." If you do gain more muscle and effectively speed up your metabolism, "you have to fight the natural tendency to [want to] eat more as a result of your higher metabolism."

> Many people cave in to the hunger that may come with working out a lot, too, and just end up adding more fat along with the muscle.

> Jensen also noted that it's difficult for people to sustain the workouts required to keep the muscle mass they gained. "For most people, it's kind of impractical," he added.

> Overall, he said, "There's not any part of the resting metabolism that you have a huge amount of control over. The control tends to be relatively modest, and unfortunately, it also tends to be on the downside."
Neural networks really are pretty magical for a lot of image based problems these days. The impact for text problems is so far decidedly not magical, though there are starting to be some tantalizing results in my opinion.
This covers both Meltdown and Spectre.

> Both vulnerabilities exploit performance features (caching and speculative execution) common to many modern processors to leak data via a so-called side-channel attack. Happily, the Raspberry Pi isn’t susceptible to these vulnerabilities, because of the particular ARM cores that we use.

The reason why Spectre is not a problem is because there is no branch predictor in these simpler arm cores. Instructions are processed in parallel when possible, but not before dependencies, including branch decisions.

EDIT: under "What is speculation?" branch prediction is described. Then in the conclusion: "The lack of speculation in the ARM1176, Cortex-A7, and Cortex-A53 cores used in Raspberry Pi render us immune to attacks of the sort."
Is it theoretically even possible for all debts to be paid with the given supply of money vs. what is supposedly owed?

For instance when interest is charged on a loan, the money needed to pay the interest fee is not created by the bank.
AFAIK there's no upvotes on github ;-)
Mild to moderate inflation is usually considered useful in paying back debt, as the constant dollar value of the debt decreases.

Even with the low inflation we've had over the last 20 years, if you borrowed $1000 in 1997 with 0% interest and wanted to pay it back now, the 1000 "2018 dollars" you'd pay would only be "worth" 655 "1997 dollars".

The real danger is in deflation, which causes the constant dollar value of the debt to grow.
Fair criticisms. I'm definitely coming at this from the perspective of a mainstream media consumer; I think the most off-beat thing I watched last year was Colossal, and I didn't particularly care for it.

That said, despite everything else, these guys really do understand storytelling. Looking at Star Trek 2009 vs. Nemesis or The Force Awakens vs prequel trilogy, and there's just no comparison. And as far as Whedon, I haven't watched his recent superhero stuff; I'm basing that on being a long-time fan of the dialogue and plotting in Firefly.
I did that to if you are referring to getBoundingClientRect & getClientRects, before I switched over to the render tree.

It does work perfecly for single line text but not multi line text. The rect will become larger than the text and you won't know where each line starts.

Well that is what I remember happening.

So your argument is that these statistics "prove" that Sweden and Germany's people are worse off than the citizens of most US states?

First, it would seem that all those people are too ignorant to understand how much better their lives would be if they were, for example, living in Michigan. If only we could teach them how unhappy they are!

Second, the claim that the people are "poorer" is not a cogent claim that their countries are failures. Your argument reminds me of something I tell my children:

"Human beings are the most successful form of life on Earth, by all the metrics that humans choose to measure success."

These test results do not show the real effect of PTI, they only show the effect of enabling pti within a virtualized kernel.
