So, if I understand what you are telling me, when, for instance, Krugman, write his text book and his New York Times columns, he is just writing a simplification.

Because he thinks that the notion that private banks create money as an account operation, and they search reserves after giving a credit, and not before, is too complicate for his readers.

Fair enough, but you have to recognize that, then, it's not so strange, and hardly their fault, that MMT economists end writing "straw men" posts (as you said before).
> Forcing your enemy to invest heavily in such key sectors is pretty stupid. Eventually, one way or another, Chinese will master the state-of-the-art. A few good examples here - LCD industry, weapons.

Not if your enemy has a habit of reverse engineering and copying everything they buy.

I recall that China was has a competition for foreign companies to sell them attack helicopters. They had trials and evaluations, and settled on a South African one. You'd assume they made a big order, right? Wrong. They placed an order for a single copy, which the South African company wisely declined.

I can't seem to find a source for the above story, but I think I read it in Wired maybe 5-10 years ago.

Just about to turn 38, and it's certainly true that after college, friends ramp down significantly. You'll stay in touch with a handful maybe if you're lucky. If you're a male, that number is usually much smaller than a female. My suggestion, find a hobby, a side venture, whatever it is, that integrates you into the local social scene. A few years ago I started doing food/cocktail promotion and the amount of social experiences I've had since then has skyrocketed, and yes some actual friends have come of it. They may not be childhood close friends level, but we're all on the same page. Everyone knows it's hard, and that's why we get together.
It can also push _paying_ customers away. There was a site I paid to use for a few years until one of their sister sites (which I only used infrequently so didn't have a paid membership for) started showing large auto-playing video ads in a way that was deliberately hard to block (div ids were 30-odd random characters). I ended up canceling my subscription soon after.
The problem with prescription drug prices
> I have verbal validation "if you do x, we will partner with you"

As the CEO of a funded company, you should know that the "we will partner with you" line is handwavy BS 99.9% of the time.

This statement is not a measure of potential money coming in the door. Rather, it's usually code for "we would like you to pay us to build your website/social presence" (if said by an agency owner) or "we would like to do some sort of advertising joint venture" (if said by a content marketing-driven company.)

Have you gotten anyone to actually toss a credit card at you across the table for this idea? If not, you have no customers and no proof this idea will work.

P.S. I would be less blunt if talking to a new founder. Often they get really excited about these garbage "partnership opportunities." But you, as the CEO of a funded startup, should know better.
Yes exactly, it's either that, or some random JS feature which is unsupported or does not work as expected.
Things are nowhere as simple as this. I read a few years ago that there were more abandoned homes than homeless people. Why is homelessness still a problem? Maybe instead of analyzing the problem on a deeper level and working to solve it, we should just critisize other people who have more money than us. Great Idea

Summer reading: 17 books for Linux and open source fans
Author here: The point of this project is to discover movies and TV shows that you ordinarily wouldn't find because the studios put their advertising money into something else.

Now that we have so many ways to watch content: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, theaters, cable/dish, etc... there are so many options, so many new original series, and it's nearly impossible to follow along with new releases. It's great to have all this new content, but not if you can't find it.

Trailer Nite is a fun way of discovering new content on platforms that you use. Every trailer is like a short film. It's about 2 minutes long with its own tone, with its own entertainment value, and if you like it... you can watch the real thing.

Anyway, this came out of a utilitarian need for me and then grew to be more. Hopefully it helps some other people out there that enjoy movies/tv like I do.

Backstory:

A few years ago, I got into a show recommended by Hulu. After the second season ended, I was like "Hmm, I wonder when the next one is coming out?" Turns out, the show had already been canceled for a year. I had never even heard of it. I probably would've watched it if I knew about it. That would've increased their ratings (if enough people watched) and it could still be on today; but it's not.

I've found several movies using Trailer Nite that I never heard about. Some were recently released with several famous people starring in it, but it didn't matter. I watch plenty of TV and I see plenty of commercials so it's really surprising to me that this many movies and shows are released with little to no advertising.

I get the point the tweeter is making, but giving homes to homeless doesn't solve the problem. All that money would be better spent treating the _cause_, not putting a band-aide on it.
My eldest (12yo) has several friends nearby (<2 miles, easy biking) and I always try and encourage her to just go out and meet up with friends. Its like a foreign concept to her though. I've finally had some recent success, but its just so weird that I have to prod her into what amounts to going out to have fun with friends.

Everything is too scheduled. Its hard to break out of the "if it isn't schedule, it isn't happening" model when everyone in the family is so busy. We try and encourage independence even in our youngest, but "free time" is at a premium.

NOTE: my kids aren't "neurotypical" and have lots of appointments, etc adding an extra layer of "busy"

1 Thessalionians 3:10 is Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith

This might not be the one you're looking for?

And if you want to use the bible as a justification for not feeding those who don't work... Matthew 6:36? Matthew 25:35? Isaiah 58:10?

Or let's go with the canoncial James 2:14-18, What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

It really depends on their marginal costs of serving single customer. I would guess that for text content producers, it's costly to produce content and cheap to show it. Then it makes sense to price discriminate (to show ads / ask for subscriptions as much as you can), but not refuse service to anyone able to bring any kind of revenue, even accounting second-order effects such as more exposure.

You can still see cases where publishers choose to not show stuff to anyone, but that's an artifact of imperfect ability of the publisher to discern between customers that would pay and the customer's that wouldn't -- they don't want to make a mistake to disincentivize someone able to pay from paying. You can see when they try and allow access from FB shares for example.

This makes it completely different from asking actual people for free work: person's price of time is expensive and it's rarely useful to give it away.
That’s because websites developers haven’t learnt the 5-years-old iOS UX pattern of not asking for privacy permissions the moment the user opens the app but later in a more contextual way. Eg: request for contacts permission when the user is explicitly looking for a friend to share something.
I think we may be talking about different things. A simple CoC is fine: "act civility and decently or there will be consequences" is what any decent CoC should boil down to. It's sad that any project feels that it needs such a thing, but if the project has an incident with a toxic member, it's understandable that they would feel the need for one.

A "diversity initiative" is something else altogether, attempting to do some kind of social politics rather than focus on the work. Pushing to recruit people of certain genders or ethnicities is an example here. IMO, there should be no such thing: members should be welcomed no matter their background or physical features, as long as they can follow the simple CoC (i.e., act civility and don't harass, abuse, etc.).

>Sure - but the point is that at the very least, we acknowledged this as an issue (and continue to do so every AGM) and kept an eye out for more accessible locations

I see no problem here. You have to be realistic though, but it doesn't hurt to keep your eyes open to other possibilities.

>That's a wonderful way to receive more harassment from a wider group, unfortunately. The only reason people get away with this crap is that when anybody tries to do something about it, they have enough political capital that they can have it waved away as someone wanting to hurt them.

Hmm.. definitely a tricky problem, and an indication of a toxic culture in some places. Maybe whatever organization that person is from should be disinvited from future conferences if they apparently condone such behavior? Otherwise, your organization could refuse to attend, citing such behavior. It does seem that some people (particularly those in leadership positions) need to take a stand here. Unfortunately, it does seem that usually, positive social change only comes about because of sacrifices made by some brave individuals.
I know it's a story about giving, but I find it kid of sad that she didn't enjoy that money more. I can't believe she enjoyed not spending it so much that would have compared to traveling or building something?

Not that giving is bad, I'm sure it felt good, but man waiting until you are in your 90s to have that big effect seems like such an unnecessary delay.

I'm not trolling, just a gut reaction here. Anyone else feel that way?

Maybe it's because I'm an American consumer and consumerism is all I know.
Why is it expected that you sit and evaluate your output (code/product/whatever), and they do not have to evaluate their output (behavior)? If he is not willing to act responsibly and maturely, why is he expecting others to?

I can accept a workplace where I have to evaluate why I produced crap, provided they have to evaluate their behavior and deal with the fact that they are creating a toxic culture.

Marketing is better than Erlang (not difficult: http://erlang.org/doc/man/lists.html), but also it stacks up to some analysis rather than just being hype. Largely due to it being based on Erlang but also developer friendliness (build tool, docs, security, setup, simplicity) is really second to none for a compiled language.
The problem with individual access purchase is that (usually) I don't know if an article was worth reading until I have read it. Not every issue of The Atlantic or the New Yorker attracts my attention but enough go them do so so I have a subscription.

It's probably so obvious that it does not merit a formal test. Atom and Vscode run on Electron, an entire instance of the chromium browser that renders the UI in HTML and CSS and uses JS for logic. Sublime Text is a native application with a much more efficient system for rendering the UI that does not involve web technologies. Open any of these editors for yourself and note the CPU usage: it's a disparity representative of a web browser (which atom and vscode are!) versus a simple text editor.
I have a vague recollection that pattern matching in ML influenced Erlang, but I don't remember where I might have heard that.

I live in Uruguay. Not trying to take away from the fact that he does truly live a very ascetic lifestyle and he definitely didn't go into politics for economical gains, what most people don't know is that Mujica's wife is a rich heiress (turned rebel terrorist, an interesting story as well), and Mujica himself owns some prime real estate (he was offered millions for it and declined). Also, his "old car" is an expensive collector's item and he owns hundreds of thousands of dollars in farm equipment.

So it's like if one of the Kennedys decided to eschew fancy living and live as an ascetic/hermit on a shack in Martha's Vineyard, is he poor?

Also, Mujica might not be interested in wealth but he's VERY power-hungry... And he left a huge mess after his presidency, and didn't address the issues I was hoping he would address (for instance, homeless people quadrupled). Misguided people with lofty goals can sometimes do more harm than good :(
Any time I read "serverless", I get a violent allergic reaction. There is no such thing, as software requires hardware to run on, and the person or persons who went "serverless" simply chose to stick their head(s) in the sand and punt the OS engineering and hardware design and maintenance off to someone else, hoping that it will just work. But it does not, and eventually there will be an outage and lost money. One can punt this responsibility off to someone else, but there will be consequences.

If you want reliable infrastructure, first you must become a master system, database and network administrator, then you must apprentice with a mentor to become a system engineer, and finally after several decades of practitioning as one, you will have enough experience and insight to become a system architect. There is no way around that, no punting will help.

> The attitude that the public doesn’t know what’s good for them is disgusting; it’s the very core of the nanny state.

It’s very demonstrable though - it’s why practically every country has an equivalent to US Social Security - and why most democracies are Representative instead of Direct.

Your argument would have more strength if the BBC or national arts funds operated in a vacuum - but they exist in competition with other private, profit-driven organisations. I feel it’s important that the public get exposure to programming that commercial sponsors (and thus network-execs/channel directors) wouldn’t touch. And it’s also essential for unbiased (or as close to unbiased as we can get) broadcast journalism.

(I accept that when a “Premium”-service customer base is large enough, e.g. HBO-sized, the need for state funding is minimised - I think HBO in particular is in a good place to launch a US-based, commercial-free broadcast news service - but smaller countries and markets would definitely need to employ some form of state funding to ensure editorial independence and an informed populace - which can only be good for democracy)
And not the floating ‘dickbar’ of social media sharing buttons that I have never, since the dawn of Facebook or Twitter, actually used.

And no, I don’t want to install your frakking app. I will NEVER install it, so please stop asking me on every visit.

User-hostile design pervades online media, and they wonder why people use ad blockers. Hell, ad blocking isn’t even enough. Most of the time, I end up manually hiding all the useless clutter on news sites to make them actually usable.
As with most economic questions, science is very difficult and limited in what it can tell us.

That's because economics is a social science, and you never know exactly how people are going to react. A study of one culture might not apply to another, and a study in one timeframe might not apply to another.

So we will probably see a lot of "hmmm... that's interesting" kinds of things that might not be repeatable. And lots of good and bad effects may be unmeasured or unmeasurable.
> No. What's hurting your edit:employer's revenue is years of blinking GIFs, auto-play videos and misleading links thrown between paragraphs. That's the first reason why I started using ad-blockers 15 years ago. The privacy issue is a recent thing.

I don't know what you read, but blinking GIFs and misleading links are only on sketchy or adult-themed sites.

As for the auto-play videos, that was a direct response to the declining value of print ads. If they can get people to play the videos, they can sell video advertising.
Americans think drug pricing should be top political priority
Sure, everyone makes guesses. The question is, are they held accountable for their guesses? Is there an epistemological framework mandating an empirical basis for the guesses, and which brings the guesses into closer alignment with reality over time? I don't see any evidence that economics has a robust framework of that sort.
That sounds like a few of mother’s cats over the years
One thing that confused me is that you introduce the "preference" for an action, but don't really define it. Some exposition about what that means would have helped.
> That's the first reason why I started using ad-blockers 15 years ago. The privacy issue is a recent thing.

So you are on board with Google's acceptable ads initiative then?

What I find frustrating is that people (in aggregate, not individually) keep moving goalposts. First, it's about annoying ads and how they will accept good ads. When presented with good ads, it becomes about tracking and how they will pay for the subscription. When subscription is available, how it is too heavy handed and they want something more flexible like micropayments. When you get micropayments, it is about how they introduce so much friction and mental overload.

I have came to realize that people (again, in aggregate and not individually) just want stuff as cheap as possible; other reasons just seem like excuses.
It's a technological swear-jar. The pain is that it's taking money out of your pocket.
The public, the great mass of humanity, does not always know what’s good for them. They often times do dumb things, allow irrational fear to take over, or engage in senseless mob activity. In the U.S. there are great numbers of people who decry taxation as theft but want roads to be fixed. A balance is needed. We need learned people in charge who are not too selfish and where too much power is not too concentrated.

I basically live in vim and tmux when I'm doing development work. Tmux IMO basically turns a terminal from a handy utility to a fully productive workspace.

I switched to ripgrep for my grepping needs, I find it fast and the syntax and output coloring handy.

Just found fastmod recently, https://github.com/facebookincubator/fastmod. Very handy for doing bulk substitutions of strings in project directories - it can prompt with a diff for every change and do full regexes, so you can try out tricky things and make sure it isn't doing anything crazy before you let it make 500 changes throughout your repo.

Also a fan of gitsh, https://github.com/thoughtbot/gitsh. Helps out with using Git on the command line just the right amount IMO - just avoiding the git prefix, tab completion, and a little syntax highlighting, instead of trying to redo the whole interface.

I don't use it that much, but jq, https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ is really handy for slicing and dicing json data without diving into the complexity of writing actual programs.

And on OS X, homebrew is indispensable for actually managing all of your CLI programs.

I also have found this Google Drive cli handy, https://github.com/odeke-em/drive. If you want to sync some but not all of your Google Drive files, and only push and pull on command instead of continuously, it's great.
I think it was perhaps poorly worded, but I have to agree with the spirit.

Contrast bookshops vs libraries. We expect the state to provide libraries, not bookshops. Not because we think bookshops are bad, but because we believe libraries should exist despite not being commercially viable.

The state broadcaster (in our case, the BBC) should be providing the library, not the bookshop. Not because "we know what's good for them", but because there's hundreds of commercial channels to "give them what they want".
