Not sure I agree there. There are plenty of historical examples of people seeing things in bizarre ways that simply weren't true. We see this recently with crime statistics dropping across the board, terrorism being less dangerous than bees, and people feeling less safe than ever.

I'd say plenty of people aren't fully aware of ways in which their lives get cheaper or better. That's just 'normal'. Whereas growing up and paying $2 for a coffee, and now 15 years later it's $3, is just a sign of you getting squeezed, and people are very much aware of that.

One cognitive / measurement issue here is hedonic inflation.

For example, the average new home was 1000 square feet in the 20th century and 2500 square feet today. Meanwhile, average household sizes decreased. We all got bigger houses with fewer people to share them with. We also got universal central heating, hot piped water, flush toilets.

Similarly, our computers have gotten faster. I don't need to explain the implications of moore's law to anyone here.

Suppose the average $1000 computer gets twice as fast previous year. Is that to be measured as inflation or no change? No change? Perhaps, average prices remained constant. But inflation is, among other things, a purchasing power kind of metric. 'How much computing power can I purchase with this money'. In that sense, prices halved. In short, there was deflation, on a hedonic basis.

This is something a lot of people don't realise. Inflation figures are sometimes suppressed by such improvements (which halved computing prices, even if sticker prices didn't change). Homes got more than twice as big, computers a thousand times as fast, these things can't simply be ignored by stating 'average homes and computers are more expensive', which is the reality that people experience in real life when looking at sticker prices of computers and rental properties. The reality that people often omit is that the product itself has massively improved.

Same with healthcare. Yes, costs increased. So did outcomes. Try surviving cancer today vs 50 years ago. Try living till 80 years old on average, 50 years ago, when life expectancy was sub 70.

The story does not mention anything about families. If you have a child in school, you better have family or friends who can support the acute local needs of your child. How do you get back home when your child is ill or something else occurs and you need to be available?
I'm not sure... is this a roundabout way of saying that the expensive things are the ones you prefer, or is there something more substantive behind the statement?

The economist isn't being dishonest, "real pay" is a very widely used way of saying "adjusted for inflation."
This was a long time ago before terminal emulators had themes and I also did a lot of work on actual terminals (monochrome hardware) and the console (black background with gray text). Even my current emulator doesn't support "themes". I have to set each color register individually in the .Xresources file. On modern hardware this works fine, but years ago the quality of CRTs was such that you couldn't guarantee brightness and color levels across devices.

Do you remember the days of X Modelines? I still have the nightmares.

Piping the output does not guarantee the removal of the color codes. This is yet another standard some programs have chosen to implement.

The program checks if the output is a tty, if it is not a tty it will drop color information as it is either a pipe or a file. The escape codes would look ugly in a file and could get in your way with some text processing programs.

Even if the program did drop color when not sending output to a tty it still is a crappy way to remove color as the pipe would need another program as a receiver such as pager.

I'm surprised that you feel that the Economist was being dishonest. "Real value" is such a basic term that virtually everyone in finance, economics, and politics should know. It was taught in my high school economics classes, one certainly need not be an economist to understand.

Defining real vs nominal in this article would be like defining "variable" and "recursion" in an article about deep learning implementation at Google. Completely annoying and useless to those who subscribe.
It is clear in the article that the police were not accompanied by any medical personnel. The police were the only people sent to the scene.

I would argue that you should not be calling the police unless you are literally in fear for your life. Bringing the police, guns drawn, into your home or where ever you may be is only going to increase the chances of a gun being fired.

In my opinion, this article highlights the reality that the police do, in fact, approach everything from a robbery to a reported suicide to a loudly barking dog in exactly the same way: guns drawn.

For Brussels at least, that is simply not true. See the graph in section 'Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest' of [1] for the evolution of real estate prices in the Brussels region since 2008. There are also strict rent controls in Belgium: if you are renting your landlord can increase the rent with inflation, but not more. Every three years the landlord can theoretically increase the price, if he has made improvements to the property or he can prove that the rental value has objectively increased by more than 20% (which is hard, if there are disputes courts tend to side with tenants).

WhatsApp and FB are the tools. The infrastructure. Within these tools are the individual groups, where every group has its own identity, self-expression, and privacy.

You may ask why I say privacy, when recent events have proved that an illusion.

I would argue that it's not privacy from the government, or some big unnamed corporate that people are looking for - It's privacy from their other networks. Almost nobody I've talked to cares if someone not directly related to their life has access to their data. Now, I believe they should have this privacy whether they care or not, but that's a separate discussion to "what are people's needs and desires?".

So I suggest that WhatsApp/FB do in fact provide all the needs of the users.

How?

We can't make cores higher frequency, because the power consumption (and heat dissipation) is prohibitive.

Doing more per cycle? It's hard to see how more work could be squeezed out of most operations (maybe fdiv or div could be shrunk a few cycles), so you're left with introducing niche instructions or wider, more complex SIMD instructions.

Spending more of your time being productive? This requires more accurate branch prediction and other speculative execution, but everyone's freaking out and trying to rip out speculative execution because of a bug that lets you read memory you already have access to.

You might be able to squeeze out more performance, but you're looking at 10% gains, not 2× gains.

Cohort effects are real.

During that time, something like a sixth of the population will have retired and now be collecting a pension (ie living off asset wealth). Another sixth will have come of age (roughly "millenials") and entered the workforce. The latter group also starts with an increased educational debt (in the US and UK) and faces a steep cliff of affording housing.

A lot of the jobs are "lies" - the famous zero-hour contracts, where people are technically employed but not guaranteed to be given any shifts at all during a week. There are also a lot of people who are technically self-employed but not able to earn a reasonable income. Is sitting in an Uber waiting for a job "employed"?
So I'm curious.

It sounds like you object to Ms. Manning's publicity seeking, which is a position that I can understand, regardless of whether I agree with it.

Can someone explain to me a mechanism for having JSON data describing a user and all their information downloaded and then displayed on the screen of either an Android or iOS phone without the app or OS involved then having the ability to send that data to a server later on?

The sentence “only available on the device” makes no sense to me as an engineer. What?

Did Facebook code review every app and OS they gave this access to? Even then, would they be able to garauntee that an update couldn’t be made to the app or some library it relied on to prevent it from harvesting the data?

If that data was encrypted, how did it get displayed on a screen without being unencrypted first and this made vulnerable to scraping?

I was an iOS and Android applications developer and I can’t think of any way to do it (at least on iOS) short of (a) keeping it completely encrypted the entire time (b) only allowing an application signed by Facebook and belonging to Facebook and controlled by Facebook completely (in iOS, at least) to get this data since iOS apps are well sandboxed from one another or (c) relying vaguely on a legal agreement that the other party not be naughty with the data contractually which means jack shit to the Chinese.

On Android - Jesus, forget about it.

In the US BLS headline CPI is used, I think.

>all including or excluding various things like gasoline, transit, mortgages, some taxes, tobacco.

You can critique inflation measures, but there is good critique and bad critique.

Including some items can introduce unnecessary noise or make the measurement less accurate over long term. Some prices can be safely left out from the price basket because their prices are know to get into the index indirectly.

In US CPI used to overestimate inflation mostly because slow adjustments. CPI is modified to correct to this. Most developed nations use good modern CPI measures that take into account things like product substitution etc.

This is a very specific and recent interpretation of the first amendment. Your theory that no nuance is possible does not match how the constitution is applied in general, or even how that amendment is dealt with specifically, both historically and currently. For example, defamation is still illegal, even if you do it to influence an election. Campaign finance limits have been weakened, but still exist and are enforced. It also doesn't wipe out other speech crimes, like fraud, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice, even if they're part of a campaign.

It's not a particularly tough spot except from the perspective of very strong textual literalism.

But there's an extra twist -- you are actually not safer with a gun all else being equal, because you or your loved ones could be killed by that gun through accident, suicide, etc.

The illusion of ego dissolution maybe, I mean this is difficult to quantify, but we do have research that shows the brain changes experienced meditators get dont happen to psychedelic users. Every psychedelic user is back to being an egotist quickly in my experience while the meditators I know seem far less egotist and are always advancing.

I don't think there are shortcuts to enlightenment and drug culture posturing is just fraudulent to me, or at best, a cheap and ugly temporary fix that ultimately distracts people from the proper path. That said, it does push some people to the right path, so it can't be all bad. The larger issue is that a lot of people have latent schizophrenia and its impossible to know if you do and drugs can set it off. Its not worth the risk imo.

This happened to someone close to me and it was difficult and heartbreaking.

Absolutely developers should write their own shopping cart vs use Shopify. While they’re at it, they should probably design a custom OS and a custom webserver too.

When I worked for a small computer place years and years ago we'd sometimes "tap" a drive as it was spinning up if freezing it didn't work.

Staying a little more focused, I have reasons for none of the languages you mention, but in terms of ease of integration of C and Rust, here’s one real world example: https://people.gnome.org/~federico/blog/librsvg-build-infras...

At this point I personally find it much easier to move C to Rust than C++, and end up with a much safer codebase.

Most large teams avoid long-lived feature branches and instead try to get things reviewed and merged into master as soon as possible. It's better to have many small reviews than a few massive ones.

> From an economics standpoint, inflation is an increase in the money supply.

This is not true unless you live in early 1900's or only surf some crackpot websites.

In the language of economics inflation without specifics
means price inflation. If you mean monetary inflation, you must use two words.

Increasing money supply is not going to prices if

1) economy grows and demand for money matches the supply or

2) velocity of money decreases. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V As a thought experiment: If you mint a trillion dollar coin but are not using it, monetary supply increases radically but it has no effect on price inflation because it has zero velocity.

She is. I had the pleasure of working with her on in the distributed ledger tech working group (back when it was still the cryptocurrency working group) when she founded it in 2013. At the time, I was the lead eng for one of the SEC's quant groups and they needed a coder who understood the tech and didn't own any coin (exams/enf actions in crypto are tech-heavy). I raised my hand to be the founding tech lead specifically so I could be in the room to represent the "omg don't ban it, we don't know where this is going" position. Turned out that voice not needed at all.

The SEC has a well informed and nuanced view of crypto that underpins their restraint on the matter which, in no small part, is due to Ms. Szczepanik. If you're looking for an example of what happens when you don't have someone like her then look no further than NY. NY just jumped in and messed everything up with the Bitlicense.
