> While the 3-month to 10-year spread “has a relatively decent track record of predicting recessions, it suffers from a timing problem,” said TD Securities U.S. rates strategist Gennadiy Goldberg. “Its inversion can suggest a recession occurred six months ago or will occur two years from now.”

Not just "relatively decent," but perfect over the last seven recessions at least. When the 3-month treasury yields more than the 10-year treasury, the economy has been in recession within two years 7/7 times.

There are a lot of leading economic indicators, but this one beats them all in terms of reliability.

There's one complicating factor that I don't see getting the attention it deserves. Unlike previous cycles, the Fed has been actively manipulating long-term yields for over a decade. That used to be taboo, but not anymore. The Fed holds trillions of dollars of long-term treasuries, accumulated under its QE/X programs.

The ownership of that debt by the Fed puts downward pressure on long-term yields. Recently, the Fed started allowing its long bonds to mature through its "quantitative tightening" (QT) program. That pressure (which really ramped up a few months ago) may have temporarily pumped up yields, and in so doing delayed a yield curve inversion signal. The status going forward of QT and the Fed's gargantuan balance sheet is anybody's guess. My bet is the Fed is done with QT until at least after the 2020 election. If things really start going south, watch for the Fed to begin buying stocks directly like the Bank of Japan has been doing for years. That and negative-yielding treasuries.

Either way, this is unprecedented territory. Signals could be quite confounded for the foreseeable future - which means policy makers are winging it. They almost certainly will make the wrong decisions.
Advertisers is a parasite on culture in that it can be a part of it, but for the most part it leeches and re-appropriates culture for its own ends.

Advertising would very much like you to think it’s a big part of modern culture, because that would be vindicating and validating it’s existence.
A close family member of mine worked for Oracle as a mechanical engineer for 6 years. He had survived many rounds of layoffs at Sun before it was acquired by Oracle and at StorageTek before it was acquired by Sun.

He described a depressing corporate culture at Oracle with a seemingly infinite number of middle managers. One of his co-workers spent most of his time in the office managing his real estate business. Larry Ellison is universally hated by the employees. The company is full of academically talented but practically useless people because Oracle will only give interviews to people with a degree from their small list of Ivy-tier universities.

Not long ago he retired and left Oracle. As a result of his experience there I'm now of the opinion that these older tech companies frankly can't die fast enough.

> Why do you think Oracle has a chance at cloud? Honest question.

Because Oracle still has an extremely large customer base, and an exceptionally good and extensive sales organisation that's really good at selling stuff to people.

The enterprise market is still not that well tapped by existing cloud providers. Look at the kinds of sales figures enterprise serving companies pull in, and consider that only a smaller fraction of them have moved to the cloud.

Anecdote: When OCI was announced ("Oracle Bare Metal Cloud") about 2 1/2 years ago, the staff who were there launching it at the Oracle conference had CIOs and the like coming up to them, even then, saying "So what really is this 'cloud' thing"

> I’ve seen Oracle cloud jobs and admittedly balked, no bone to pick with them but don’t see a bright future.

Succeed or fail, it's still interesting work. It pays well. Flexible on hours. Good co-workers, good sense of direction. Lots of interesting problems to solve. None of the bullshit "work everyone to the bone" that I kept seeing in AWS. Good opportunities to make a difference.

In all honesty, I was burned out at AWS and thought "Well.. I've put up with absolute hell in prior tech jobs, and have built up a reasonable resume. I can always move on if it turns out to be hell". My expectations were pretty low. I knew the director I was going to be working for, having worked with him in AWS, and knew he actually gave a damn about operations. It turns out to have been one of the better career decisions I've made. Which is definitely not anything I would have associated with a job working for Oracle.

3. use a softphone app with SMS support to receive 2FA codes (or just have SMSes sent to that number forward to your email; either or)

4. when in a new country with a new SIM card, just make sure to sign up for data. Then you'll continue to receive your SMSes like normal. And your phone calls, too!

And the pilots must have recognized it was a trim issue because they countered it multiple times. Why they didn’t flip the stab trim cut off switch is a mystery.

An earlier crew was able to fly the plane. I agree the pilots should have been made aware of MCAS (though either the Ethiopian pilot was shockingly not aware of it or being aware didn’t help him). But at the end of the day the pilots are there to fly the plane, not manage automation:

Back-of-the-napkin:

> 90-nm ultra-thin

I don't know the density, but let's say 2g/cm³. That means a 1cm² piece of this film weighs 18 micrograms.

> 30°C to 150°C in 30 seconds

If by "sunlight" they mean 1000 W/m², which is generous, then our 1×1 piece would catch 0.1 W. Over 30 seconds, that makes 3 joules.

3 joules to heat 18 micrograms by 120 degrees – that's a specific heat capacity of 1.388 joules per gram and K (a bit more if the density is lower than 2, a bit less if it's higher). So: a bit more than typical metals, probably, but not by much.
It is a very cool function. It'd be interesting if a more thorough cryptanalysis were performed (though if you read the Google Research paper, you get an impression that they are breaking fresh ground, so there would be a lot more effort involved in such an analysis).

But those nudges are LONG before the hiring process, which as I mention seems to be biased in favor of women in the field. Education and other bits take a different approach.

Media changes:

* Don't show techs/ops and programmers as interchangeable in practice
* Don't make techs or programmers look uncool
* Show more diverse techs and programmers in roles
* Don't dumb down smart female characters (some seasons of Arrow)
* Don't turn smart female tech characters out of tech (Daisy on Agents of Shield)

Education Changes:

I'm not sure here, between K-12 vs >12, as I really think better normalization in media would go a long way. I also think actual gaming with broader appeal is helping a lot too.

I do find it interesting that given college women outnumber men by almost 2:1 that the majority of STEM and more specifically CS graduates are men. I think that colleges really need to look at their own practices here more and that cuts both ways. I find a lot of modern progressive feminist extremism to be far different than any classic goal of equal opportunity which is disenfranchising.

> Private companies making hiring decisions are correcting for an indefinite history of bias. That doesn't mean they're hiring unqualified individuals, simply that they're making sure they put in measure to correct for biases and can identify individuals with the great qualifications that in the past would have been past up due to arbitrary euphemisms for gender / racial bias like 'bad culture fit'.

Perhaps at some companies but not at mine. We do deny employment on the basis of sex and race, in order to increase percentages of women and URM. It's not just including women and URM that would otherwise be left out. It's also about making that a significant chunk of qualified white and Asian males don't get offers.

"All four major carriers have rolled out LTE-Advanced. But while Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile accurately call it 4G, AT&T calls it 5G E."

"AT&T's network name change may well trick consumers into thinking they're getting better service than a 4G operator, but they aren't. We already knew that 5G E has no technological advantage over LTE-Advanced, because they are the same thing with different names."

Doesn't that mean this, for all intents and purposes, isn't really the 5G we're all thinking of and that this is just massive click bait?

Restaurants whose clientele is mainly foreigners will often adapt their menus to what they think foreigners want, and their prices to what they think foreigners will pay. So, if you want to eat the local food as ordinary locals will eat it, and you don't want to be ripped off, then you might want to avoid places where the other diners are likely to be fellow foreign tourists.
True. It looks like they made a few square centimeters of this stuff. If they make a bit more and slap it on a coffee mug & eliminate the need for a microwave, there could be some very interesting applications.

Though also consider their applications weren't limited to desalination and other "macro" applications, but also electronics, sensors and such. It sounds like this might be significantly cheaper than current monolayer graphene on substrate.

A bit more on operations, management, development and deeper technology. I think a clearer understanding of the different roles that people play in development of technology systems is important. Men and women typically have different personality leanings (that broadly overlap), and understanding different roles and their focus would allow for people to understand and better choose towards their own interests.

In media, a lot of the time all the roles in IT/Development are interchangeable and muddled and there's almost no insight into where one role might end and another might begin.

Yes. I think Kubernetes has a lot of really useful features but it is needlessly difficult to use and administer. Unfortunately, it seems to have become the de facto standard, so everyone will be forced to deal with it the same way they have to deal with ancient Unixisms (or worse, windowsisms).

Me: "Do I have to pay back sign on bonus and relocation? I've been here for less than 2 months."

> sometimes they're even called risk free

They may be called that, but they aren't. There are at least two risks associated with U.S. government bonds:

1. Inflation can exceed the interest rate on the bond and cause it to lose value when measured in actual purchasing power

2. Political dysfunction could cause the U.S. government to default notwithstanding its ability to print money

(To be fair, #1 is a risk associated with any bond. #2 is peculiar to U.S. government bonds.)
It’s not clickbait. AT&T is pretending to have 5G when it doesn’t. This is worth reporting.
