With all due respect: we heard all that before, except it was from the left, and aimed at the republican excesses of the 1980's. Regan was mortgaging our (I was the teenager then) future and We Were Not Going To Have It.

You know what happend? All those 30 year bonds came to term and we paid the mortgage without breaking a sweat. Hell, we threw in a $2T war on top. Yawn.

US federal debt is almost literally free money. Obsession about spending (oddly always spending, no one obsesses about tax cuts that affect revenue in the same way, though I do note you threw in "pensions" that AFAIK haven't been "jacked up" in Washington in literally decades) hurts, and doesn't help.

Maybe a day will come when US bond rates rise and debt stops becoming free. That's when we need to stop borrowing. Until then this kind of argument is just a political thing that people (mostly republicans these days) trot out to blandly oppose the spending priorities of the other side.
Not necessarily. For example, if I owe you two dollars, I can pay you one dollar, you can hire me and pay me a dollar (perhaps the same one), and then I can pay you the dollar again. So a single dollar can pay for two dollars of debt.

The number of times a dollar is spent is called its velocity, and it's on the order of 5, meaning on average each dollar is spent 5 times in a year.
Nice!

If you enjoyed Breaking the Time Barrier, you may also want to check the material put out by Alan Weiss. In my case, the real-world proposal examples he published years back (and pulled from his own solo practice) have easily been worth six figures to me. I believe I first ran across them in his book Million Dollar Consulting, but they are covered more specifically in two of his later proposal specific publications.

Multiple independent teams might work on each of the graphs.

We don't use a mono-repo, we use a repo per service.

We have shared libraries like https://github.com/globality-corp/nodule-graphql that make generating gateways easy and straight forward.

Everyone can see it, its there and black and white. Having received your clarification that you meant "mobile or online" edition, I asked you to provide evidence it's written in C# which is apparently your claim, which you still haven't done. I haven't asserted that it's still written in C or C++, it could be assembled with spit and paper clips for all I know.

So enlighten us, as per your claim, if you can. I'm genuinely interested.
Of all the competitive parameters this is one you think it's worth considering?

Voting with your wallet works if a majority of people understand the issue and vote the same way. Here you're just creating problems for yourself.

Not that the enthusiasm isn't good :)
I’d say that modern web patterns exist only because of jQuery. jQuery adapted the DOM and did for JS what LINQ did for C#. Replace datastore for DOM.

JavaScript itself has subsumed most of jQuery and replacements like lodash would not have existed without it.

Browsers will catch up badly.
One question I have is with the "One Graph" idea. I get the principle, and it does seem like it would be nice. However, it's hard for me to imagine what this looks like in practice.

I haven't done anything with GraphQL in a few years. But when I did, we basically had several teams in a part of our organization (one of many in a huge giant megacorp) which built an API with GraphQL. We shared that code base and did the changes in it we needed for different parts of the graph. Sometimes it was fine, and sometimes it didn't go so well (unexpected issues, unexpected deployments when a team didn't prepare properly, etc). So it was an OK idea, but it caused some friction.

A decent of the problems were communication between teams of course. But even if communication was as good as one could imagine, it seems like this model would cumbersome at some point. And I can't imagine it spanning our entire organization, much less our entire megacorp across the board.

So assuming what we did wasn't good, what is a way you might make this work? Do you have a single code base like we did and just be more disciplined? Do you have a project whose job is to stitch together other schemas and pull in submodules? A monorepo for the entire company? Do you actually limit what the idea of the company is at some point to limit what the scope is that this should cover?

This turned out to be more of a ramble than anything. Oops.
Amtrak already has fairly significant modernization and expansion plans for the Northeast Corridor which is (uniquely) a rather profitable region for them.
Mozilla to use machine learning to find code bugs
Oddly, voters of all ages don't seem to care that much about debt. It rarely ranks near the top of concern category polls. GOP harked on it heavily during the O years, and still it didn't catch much traction outside of GOP's base. (Arguably, O was following proper Keynesian timing: save during crest, spend during slumps.)
This us one of the cases where I would want you to write an explicit type for seniorMales. Reasoning about the LINQ expression is just complex enough that by not constraining its type to your expectations you can easily obscure a mistake in your thinking that would otherwise show up in the data types.
Lecturing people that their preferred "leading version number" practices are "silly ego" won't help this better system attract support.

But also, it's false. It's a legitimate convention, across a bunch of domains that are either analogous or intersecting with software-development, to use increments of the 1st number to signal "big user-meaningful changes" (as opposed to exactly-and-only "interface breaking changes"). It's not just ego, but evolved communication.
It's simple accounting, as interest payments on the debt become an increasingly higher part of the budget, the end result becomes insolvency.

Of course, an actual default for a country like the U.S. is a very unlikely outcome for a variety of reasons. What is more likely, is that inflation is allowed to rise and 'eat' up the debt. The "hope" is that a mild rate of inflation is sufficient to do so. I doubt it though, there have always been periods of high inflation, and there is no reason to think they will not return.
I'm honestly not sure it will get that across. The common mindset always for those pushing for these kinds of backdoors is that _they_ are the ones who will be the sole beneficiaries of it. They either fail to accept (or ignore) that something being protected solely by policy is not the same level of protection as something truly impossible.

I recommend https://mises.org/library/left-right-and-state-0

It mentions what you call "capitalist drive for profits" (search for junk, etc.). To sum up for you: it is the will of people, has nothing to do with the system that allows their dreams or ideas to come true, other than the fact that it allows it. What is the alternative? Destroy everything that you may think we should not have?

Jquery will fallback to native functions where available and it's feature complete. It doesn't need to have constant commits to still be immensely useful.

Its primary purpose was smoothing over browser inconsistencies and it's cached by every major CDN already so using it is likely faster than trying to rebuild and maintain the individual parts separately.
i like the idea, but what happen with the web sites or your produc only works for moviles?.
You can just use DOM templates with Vue.js. Basically write your HTML the way you normally would and add the Vue.js attributes that tells Vue what to bind with. If JavaScript is disabled you just have plain HTML. It does scale up to doing a full SPA with single file components and compiled templates with Webpack.

Here's a simple form example:

Yeah, but dependencies are another story. So, my point is, if something "just works" and you don't want to have to upgrade, you need to freeze the entire system with all dependencies, which includes hardware, OS, etc. Everything else is just an illusion.

I sill have people using my Win16-based software written using Borland Pascal with Objects I wrote 30 years ago. They keep changing power supplies, etc. of an old system, but recently they had some major hardware problem and asked me to help them. I couldn't and wouldn't.

They ended up somebody creating a VM from their hard drive, and they are happy now and can back up that image and keep the circus going on forever.
There is however evidence that they work: https://www.nhs.uk/news/medication/big-new-study-confirms-an...

Reactstrap is cool, but you basically need to re-learn bootstrap. For every component you are using, you need to check their documentation to see if they came up with an attribute for that or if you can use bootstrap classes. It does improves readability, but doesn't pay off IMHO.
Turns out I misremembered. I was thinking of the inversion which happened in December, which was as you said, the 3- and 5- year briefly inverted (by 1 basis point).
Sounds like it may be trivial for you all to make another app that does the same thing with IDs / identification..

I like the on-device privacy with your system. I could have used an ID check / age check thing like this a few times over the years. Some people have been good at taking a photo of their ID and emailing it or posting to a web form, others tried taking the top results on google for fake ID and using a picture of that...

I would not expect a system like this to detect 100%, but it could have easily cut in half the amount of terribly fake IDs that were sent in to us.. which sounds nice.

Might be an option for whichever company to add in a user select-able option to upload / send the pic in for human review (and further net training) as an option if it fails, or fails with a certain percent or something..

can see a lot of use cases for this, glad to see you all working on this.
> not every closed source stuff is evil, really

But how do you know that this closed source software isn't evil? You can't distinguish without an audit by a competent person you trust. Most closed source software isn't audited to a level that I'd deem sufficient for my security.

The problem is even worse: proprietary software has a single owner that can be coerced into including (even targeted) backdoors by state level attackers.

If I really want to run proprietary software I typically try to containerize it or even run it in VMs.
What a poor way to look at it. There are more recent studies that disagree[0], but that doesn't matter. Wasting money matters, and you can't pretend the federal dollars earmarked for this transportation initiative are the equivalent of all in state dollars or that they wouldn't have been put to better use elsewhere.

They advocate one graph, because it's too hard to merge graphs in parent-child (many-to-one, many-to-many) relationships (recursively) in a flexible way.
This is purely because of technical limitation of GraphQL IMO.
I think you're mismatching problems and solutions.

EVs are a solution for climate change.

Modern railroads are a solution for commutes taking hours in Silicon Valley (and other places in CA). Electrifying all the single occupancy sedans in 101/680/880 won't do anything to the commute time.
If people just learned the basics of maintaining and repairing vehicles they'd save themselves thousands of dollars by buying auctioned off used cars and repairing it. Same thing for taking it for a shop for maintenance...
As a programmer I think I forget a lot because programming keeps my brain busy thinking about things. I forget features and solutions I've done before. I think it's because the space inside the brain is limited. I'm thinking hard about a new problem every day. Whereas my boss can remember things I did a year ago I can't easily.
That's an interesting theory, but please test on another country. As a citizen of the USA, I don't personally want to be a debt guinea pig, nor do many others. Theories are nice, but they don't trump empirical testing (no pun intended).

Nice write-up, but no version of sleep() accepts a parameter representing time in milliseconds.
Many embedded platforms have no sleep() function. Most recently, I had to implement it (and usleep) on MSP-430.

Sometimes I hear people mention that ketamine’s special effectiveness (in those whom it is effective, which isn’t 100% of people afaik) wears off over the length of a treatment protocol. It’d be nice to hear more about that, especially in comparison to the long-term effectiveness of traditional antidepressants and SSRIs in particular.
Why should a non-engineer use Vim? If you're writing prose not code, then using vim is like using a Hilti rotary hammer to hang picture frames.
That seems fine, but it doesn't really change whether you should ask for some of the overall fees upfront. :-)

I've moved almost entirely away from hourly billing, but where it does pop up there is generally a different fee for clients who have retainer agreements with me (which are usually annual in nature).

Yes, while the "moar serotonin = moar happy" explanation of why antidepressants work is oversimplified and wrong in many cases, there is empirical evidence that some antidepressants are effective at treating the symptoms of depression and other illnesses.
The effect of the ban on women will be nearly nil, since the system was in place before apps existed. If there is any difference, it'll be positive, because the "guardians" won't bother setting the notifications up.

And comparing this to FOSTA/SESTA doesn't make any sense. Those laws didn't ban something that is unambiguously evil - they banned a whole bunch of random stuff under the guise of targeting sex trafficking. The equivalent here would be if I was demanding that Google and Apple ban all tracking apps in general, on the basis that they're used by "guardians".

You need to find something or a set of things that are meaningful to you. Those things will change, so you need to keep chasing things that are meaningful.

Otherwise, the bullshit of life will be too much...but doing meaningful things seems to dampen the blow of the natural tragedy and suckiness of life.

Hi Lena,
Great answer! Congrats on launching. I do have a few more counterpoints.

Thinking about this from a individual fraudster perspective. Acquiring a stolen cc is not an easy transaction, there is risk, and cost involved. So I think each fraudster would be trying to maximize the value of each stolen cc they have on hand.
When you have a system that doesn't tell the fraudster what is causing the stolen cc to be rejected, the fraudster has nothing but trial&error to improve their chance, maybe instead of public wifi they have to use a private one, maybe instead of a gmail account they have to use a edu account. But in this case, if they know that a embossing kit will significantly improve their chance, wouldn't they spend the money and get that technology?

The bottom line is this technology has to make it more expensive for the fraudster to throw their hands up and say "well i better go try a different place". but I'm not sure if the barrier is high enough here. Furthermore, if you have an 'invisible' barrier, then it is all about trial and error, if you have a 'visible' barrier, I think it is just going to garner more attention and more people trying to solve it?
You can also check out Peter Kramer's "Ordinarily Well: The Case for Antidepressants" for the exact opposite take. And "Against Depression", also by Peter Kramer, is a good take on recent findings about the biological roots of depression.

You are being obstinate. I cited a couple extensive discussions of the matter backed by voluminous scholarly work, compared to your one ambassador to Saudi Arabia. You promptly ignored them. Israel is literally the only nuclear power in the middle east and they are essentially a client state of the U.S. They have helped destroy secular Arab nationalism (e.g. 1967) which was/is the greatest threat to U.S. control of the region. There is intelligence collaboration. There are internal U.S. planning documents going back to the 1940s demonstrating the perceived military value in supporting Israel.

The existence of dissenting voices within the establishment proves nothing. There are always hawks & doves that debate the costs & benefits of policies. It's as shabby an argument as the notion that a relatively small Jewish lobby could "trick" U.S. corporate powers that be into doing something against their perceived interests for decades.
This assumes the economy and population always grows. If either one of these stop being true, we are left holding a big bag. War, demographics, disease, famine, internet addiction, etc. can derail the pattern.

Some amount of debt is okay and takes this into account. But we are overdoing it.

Ironically, we could "fix" most our debt by allowing in a larger flow of immigrants. You-know-who would do you-know-what in their pants over such an idea.
