Inflation only occurs when the printing of money outpaces real value. Real value in the last 10 years has skyrocketed, so it’s not surprising that inflation has not been strongly affected by the increase of money.
> ordinary professional and personal interventions are sufficient to stop people from drinking them.

Ostensibly not. Even more evident for people who smoke. Absolutely zero reason to do that, only negative effects. It's wreckless and careless behavior on anyone who allows it.

There is not much difference between the two. Sure, healthcare is a lot cheaper than in the US, but most other things are a LOT more expensive in Europe.
mmmmmmmm MMT!

Finally some sensible financial policy.

Did the New Deal result in inflation?

Did the Wall St bailout result in inflation?

Does productive investment, private or public, result in inflation?

Why do we care so much about inflation?.... oh yea, because it spooks bondholders!

PewDiePie is a the currently the most subscribed YouTuber. He started off making gaming videos (LetsPlay, reviews), but has since really "retired" from that and occasionally makes comedy style vlogs. He likely has a very large and diverse fanbase, all of whom are probably coming into age now (Someone who watched PewDiePie at age 13 when he became the most popular YouTuber in 2013, would be 19 now).

Around sometime last year, PewDiePie came under a string of bad publicity which linked him to Nazi's and an incident where he called someone a nggr when he died in a video game. He has since "apologized" and tried to make things right, but whats done is done.

My hypothesis is, due to his "persecution" PewDiePie is now very popular as an alt-right martyr - he can't fully come out and say he's full on white supremacist because of the media boogeyman, but, to his supporters, he's clearly on their side (whether he is or not, I don't know, and it's irrelevant). As a result he gets a lot of lip service from a lot of notorious individual (regardless if he wants it), due to his nature as a meme in these communities.

Again, I'm not pretending to know where PewDiePie lies in all this, and he could very well be supporting or indifferent to this whole thing. However I do believe this whole thing might be larger than him at this point.

I feel like YouTubers are the next "bad influence", a position held in the past by marijuana, video games, rock 'n roll, heavy metal and communism.

The funny thing is that the ones complaining are the same ones who's generation was accused of listening to bad influence music like SOAD, Marilyn Manson and Rammstein, all of whom were blamed for shootings in the past because the perps happened to listen to them.
The fans will come, but there are limits to how far even they will go to create a product that will be owned and sold by someone else. Having toiled to edit together the HD version, id be screaming mad to see it sold for 100+ per season. If it was made by fans it should be sold at cost.
One example: You have fucking tiny up and down vote buttons that aren't separated by anything and you make that vote unchangeable.

This means people with motor control disabilities -- some of whom will be wheelchair users -- can't reliably vote using the website supplied buttons.

Simple changes are to make the buttons bigger, and to separate them with something other than whitespace, and to allow some changing of the vote.
If I understand correctly, you would still have to overlay text, voice over, sound, music, etc. That's still a lot of work.
All the answers I see on stack say there is no gain to do hash or encrypt prior to sending. I'm not sure I can agree with this. Let's say you hash a password and some attacker gains this. They can now log into that website BUT NOT everyone else for your username if you happen to use the same password. Jeez am I wrong here?
This. I’m taking the train from Tucson to New Orleans in a few days and am looking forward to ~40 uninterrupted hours.

By "supply capacity" here do you mean idle capital? I'm interested in this, but I'm not really sure what metrics show it.

Now that I gave the whole thing another thought, it might be very different for different professions.

Maybe we also got it upside down? What if experts tend to be good with their tools, because they had a ton of experience with them and not the other way round. So they are not experts because they use their tools well, but they use tools well because they had a lot of time spent with these.

That is, if you are in a profession were the tools stay the same. The sound mixers I mentioned certainly know SOME workflows inside out, but mixing desks change and differ between manufacturers, get more modern etc. That means judging a sound mixer purely by his ability to handle a certain mixing desk on one point in time might not be completely representative of the man/woman’s abilities.

For programming it is much the same. A perfectly guru programmer could have switched to vim just months ago, while anoob could have invedted a year into learning vim instead of gaining experience with code.
This misses out on the fact that ISPs regularly employ Transparent DNS Proxies and your DNS requests may never actually reach CloudFlare.

Ironically, I do the same with golang at my current employer. Build times are nowhere near as what's hyped. Much closer to Java, and in fact, due to Java's incremental compilation, golang is often slower.
Isn't this the core concept of PageRank?

If there are 10 million websites out there linking to a single article when referencing X, even if such article doesn't include X verbatim, that article will rank high in queries for X.
The bullet gem has helped me solve this problem in specific applications before, yes.

My higher-level problem is that having lazy-loading on by default allows N+1 queries to creep in to a code base and you need a third-party gem to find them. I've had to spend significant time finding and fixing this after joining teams with large legacy apps.

"Disable lazy loading globally" should be an ActiveRecord setting and it should be on by default IMO; people who need lazy loading should have to turn it on per query, something like `query.allow_lazy_loading(post: :author)`. I suspect that a very small fraction of queries would use this, since many apps don't do server side rendering, many who do SSR don't use Russian doll caching, and even those who do both still execute many queries that should prefetch all the associations they use.
Yep, this is based on Starlette, which does more or less, what you did, but for ASGI.
You do not own the value of the dollar you hold in your hand...you just own the IOU. The value of the dollar is what other people deem it to be worth, and you cannot own that.

If I have a car, I own the car. If you break in and steal the car, then you have stolen from me. But if the car company that produced the car decided to overproduce so that there is an excess used car supply in the market (lowering prices), well sorry friend, but the car company didn't steal from you.
Yes, that is what we call a hard sleeper :). A soft sleeper in contrast is usually four bunks in its own room.

Just curious, what are the domain registrars currently support U2F?

Also, just to be sure U2F is an additional methods of 2FA, not the only method of 2-step, so to me having U2F is not necessarily making accessing your account securer.
Part of it is fuel tax (which planes don't pay in Europe). I'm speculating, but I'd guess that the maintenance on the tracks is pretty significant. Planes don't have that issue.
> for reasons that can not be explained except to say 'it's complex'

I explained it.

Are you saying it's more complex that?
It appears that MMT is meant to be a macroeconomic theory. I'm not here to defend it. But I would wager that an MMT advocate would claim to possess evidence that in the aggregate, a jobs guarantee would create more value than it would destroy because the pattern you describe does not apply to most people.

Again, I am not here to defend this theory. In fact, I have witnessed your anecdote myself and agree with the premise, at least on a micro scale.
It's possible and actual not difficult to write memory-safe C++ code. In the last several years the C++ projects I worked on had close to zero memory issues (I cannot recall any). I think with the advancements of C++14/17 memory issues is a largely solved problem.
Unless joe is making more money by not working than working, that is extremely unlikely.

Making money for all intents and purposes is the definition of creating value.

There are some exceptions, but they usually involve distortion by the government or theft.
I would not describe many open source projects as designed-by-committee, and while open source might be less suited for exploratory research there have been quite many novel things first implemented in open source projects. Look at the various video codecs or the innovations in compiler technology gcc has contributed to, or the plenty of innovations made in various open source databases.
I'm not dismissing the hard work that goes into either. What I'm saying is that the risk profile isn't close to being comparable.

A young tenure-track professor isn't at risk of losing their degree if they fail to achieve tenure. It's also unlikely that they might owe thousands (or hundreds of thousands) to the IRS or state tax authorities for which they could very well be personally liable for. That's not a figurative example. I actually saw this happen with a small ISP.

I recall a news story about a congressman who left public service to try and run a business (something not technical) and he was dumbfounded by the practical affect of the laws that he helped pass and how unwieldy and challenging it is for an entrepreneur to actually succeed when faced with the never-ending cascade of regulations and approvals needed to actually open. The gist of the article is that he didn't appreciate the reality of business ownership until he tried it. Then he saw the light.

I would encourage any academic that thinks the only way to succeed in business is to cheat to give it a try themselves. Something as simple as an ice-cream shop can be a real eye-opener in terms of regulatory complexity, financial disclosure, and employment law.
You're probably being downvoted for speculation, but that sounds completely reasonable to me. At least one person had to have noticed a password in a log file they were viewing at some time. Most people viewing log files know that passwords should not be there. It would trigger alarm bells, and depending on the person, also excitement -- you have somebody's facebook password.

It's conceivable that someone then told their friend at work, and a few of these 2,000 developers knew of this secret internal stash of passwords they could access whenever they wanted to "prank" someone on facebook...
Having never worked on a search engine myself I will avoid guessing as to why Google's results are the way they are. As a search engine user I noticed Google's results seem to be less useful than they were before. After a particularly poor series of results I tried DuckDuckGo and found the results better. It seems similar to when I switched to Google from MetaCrawler. Whatever the reasons I just want to find what I'm looking for.
The peak in the late 80s seems to correlate well with the global phaseout of leaded gasoline. In the US, the phaseout began in the mid 70s and leaded gasoline was completely banned by 1996.

Macroeconomics is a sufficiently complex topic that trying to understand it or discuss it at a "beginner level" is almost pointless. At that level, all you need to know is that any theory that promises some certain knowledge of what's going to happen if this or that happens and that it's all very simple, is almost certainly wrong.
Taken to the extreme, your argument could be "No one has ever influenced anyone ever for any reason". Yes, studies indicate that violent video game do not increase violence, but this doesn't inherently imply that rhetoric cannot be effective.

There are plenty of examples throughout history of fear-mongering around race. Are you going to suggest that Hitler wasn't at all responsible for uniting a large percentage of the German people against the Jews? Are you going to suggest that Charles Manson shouldn't be held responsible for anything he started by his bizarre attempt at a race-war? Are you going to claim that bad behavior cannot become normalized if enough influential people do it?

I don't think PewDiePie is responsible for the actions of his fans, because as you said, with 80 million people, you're going to get some awful humans in the mix. I just didn't agree with your reasoning.
Today I can enjoy reading several thousand years old books like Herodotus travels.

Within the same distance into the future, most of today's knowledge will be gone.
I got a STEM degree in the early 1990s, and my usual note taking style was in the same vein: I used four colours of pen, a straightedge for lines, and tried to make nicely presentable notes that I would not have to make alterations to after the lecture.

In retrospect I think this was completely insane. I was so preoccupied with the mundane details of layout and presentation that many of the important technical details the professors were talking about went right by me. I'm amazed I managed to get by with this style.

One of the courses I did best in was one for which the blackboard presentation was drawn from the textbook, and in that one I did not bother with the elaborate note taking, just relied on the textbook. For some reason I never made the connection between me doing unusually well in that course and the fact that I wasn't distracted by note taking.

If I were to do it all over again I would make my notes merely capture the information (and if I knew the information was in my text, just capture enough to identify where), and if I really wanted beautifully laid out notes I would rewrite them after class, with the added benefit that the rewriting would be an implicit review.

Second Chances Are Important
Yes, that’s correct. For example, if the stack grows downwards (which, AFAIK, is the case on most current architectures):

- stack pointer is at S

- protected area starts at B, ends at E (with B<E<S)

- stack is decreased by something larger than (S-B), making it point somewhere before the start of the protected area

Compilers won’t allocate large local variables on the stack, so guard pages work fine for accidental stack overflows, such as when a call stack gets too deep. They also work reasonably well against intentional (by an attacker, not by the programmer who wrote the code) ones, but indeed aren’t perfect. That’s why some compilers have compiler flags that, when allocating a stack variable that they don’t know to be ‘small’ will insert extra code that will hit the protected area, even if the allocation jumps over it.

I think we obsess over inflation because it's an elite creditor concern, so it dominates headlines - but the real economic killer is deflation, when the population's debt grows and eats away their purchasing power....
Good point. But one way the internet is being decentralized is along national boundaries.

The chinese, russians, south koreans, japanese and even the EU are now looking to protect it's turf.

Wouldn't shock me if the internet truly becomes a network of national intranets. I suspect if the EU or any major player truly turns their nation into an intranet, it will accelerate the process with every nation controlling their own network and protecting their own interests, companies and information.

Though highyl unlikely, if china ever becomes a dominant player on the internet, I could even see us closing ourselves off to protect our internet.

I guess this is the price of success. It attracts political attention.

hah. What kind of future are you talking about? :P It still seems that Java and C# and python are dominant in their respective areas, and golang being relegated to devops stuff, those guys can deal with all the shortcomings of the language because they don't know better, but at least it's not infiltrating other areas. Ironic that the golang authors wrote it as a C++ replacement and it completely flopped there, just shows how out of touch from reality they are.

The main attraction of nuclear, judging by the comments I see is that "silly environmentalists don't like it". It seems the people who bring it up enjoy the thought of other people being wrong more than they enjoy being correct themselves.

This was already a little sad, but now that the economic case has turned decisively against nuclear power, with things going badly for basically every nuclear project and things going better than expected for most renewables it's becoming absurd.
Something like Sandstorm[0] might be able to solve this, since then a person would hypothetically only need a single server (with a nice web interface) that they install all their decentralized apps into. In practice I think modifying the apps to be compatible is too much overhead. But I think something in the same vein could work.

I'm sure @kentonv has some ideas on what the main roadblocks to adoption are.

Because they don't want to be tied to an ISA and it's backwards compatibility requirements. They've heavily changed the underlying ISA many times in the past twenty years or so, even shifting paradigms. They've gone from horizontal microcode, to VLIW, to RISC-esque SIMD, and want the freedom to keep changing it up.

No one can tell you what job to take. Spend sometime imaging yourself doing the job. You will never have enough information to make a rational decision. Whichever one you take you may regret not doing the other because neither outcome can be determined in advance.

Let's try and understand that this isn't a race to see who has it worse. My point is that an academic in the arts isn't likely to possess the understanding of entrepreneurship and its challenges any more than an entrepreneur is to understand the challenges of a career in academia.

The difference is that one isn't pointing at the other and trying to blame them for all of society's ills.
