Thats not inflation, in the economics definition of it. If demand for bitcoin outpaces the supply you have deflation, not inflation.

Some other definitions of inflation could be "the loss of value of a currency(in front of other goods)", which is not what BTC suffers.

There are still companies that build good products and focus on core engineering. Maybe not (all) startups, but despite the preponderance of every kind of startup, there are still many who at their core are solving difficult engineering problems.

Of course, reality gets in the way and they often have to cut corners every now and then.

I'd value a strong professional association, and I would even pay meaningful dues to it, but I don't want a union. I'd like to be part of an organization that can keep a staff of lawyers around to review contracts and have an official policy on what clauses are acceptable and what aren't acceptable, what to expect in terms of intellectual property ownership, working hours, etc. Having a cadre of lawyers around to protest discriminatory hiring and firing practices would also be great. But having quotas, or formal seniority, or having said organization have a seat at the table during hiring and firing discussions or salary decisions sounds like a total disaster.

Perhaps what I want is a guild? Maybe a licensing board? Professional association seems like the best terminology, but I want a professional association with some teeth.

I was taught the Epsilon-Delta definition of the limit in Calc 1, right off the bat in first year (University of Waterloo). Real Analysis here is a third year course run by the Pure Math department and from what I've heard it's one of the hardest undergrad courses the university offers, period. I'm nearing the end of my second year as a math student, finishing up calc 3 and linear algebra 2. When I take a look at a few of the questions on assignment 1 from a past real analysis course I have no idea how to do any of it, it's way out of my league.
> What the "troops" want is not a good variable in understanding what the best method of providing CAS is.

That reminds of a talk I heard by a historian who pointed out that the Sherman tank was actually a better tank than its reputation suggests. While a bigger gun and more armor could have helped, the tank commands actually turned down bigger guns (because they hadn't yet seen tanks that needed them) and providing sufficient armor to actually stop the weapon fire being trained on them may not have been possible with the logistical constraints of the US Army.
This pricing is finally at the point where I can start considering this for some of the research labs I support.
The problem seems to be the provision that a tech worker can be coerced by the Australian Government into creating a backdoor, and they are not authorised to disclose it to their employer.

As I read it, the law requires warrants and court enforcement. I don't think you can be required to backdoor code in secret or held to account by the security agencies not to inform your employer. I would be very surprised if tat was legal and uncontestable.

I do expect you can be informed by your employer you have to backdoor code.

I do not expect you can have an extra-territorial obligation placed on your work conducted outside Australia. If you are working inside australia remotely I think its complex.

Recently, United Airlines decided to allow for a non-binary gender option for booking flights. All the comments on social media were people screaming about how the liberal agenda was coming to get them, how there's only two genders, get over it, etc. "What, am I supposed to guess if that's a man or a woman sitting next to me now?!" But nobody is forcing these people to pick a new option. They can just select the one they've been selecting their whole lives. It literally does not affect them at all. But they still have an irrational hatred for an irrelevant option.

If some people want a genderless voice, yeah, I think tech companies should adopt it. If it makes someone more comfortable, and it doesn't harm me in any way, I'm not going to bag on it.
>Facebook's announcements do not specify these groups in particular, and do not seem to indicate that its definition of "white nationalism" and "white separatism" will be nearly as clearly defined as banning recruitment to the Caliphate.

So your concern is literally just "I don't know how this will be enforced." If so, why not just...wait, and voice your concern when you have evidence of facebook abusing this, instead of doing what you're doing now, which looks to me a lot like what you disdainfully refer to as "crying wolf".

>Sorry to burst your bubble, but calling people white nationalists almost certainly isn't going to change their views.

Sure, but there are few enough white nationalists now that I don't particularly need to worry about them. The issue is if their mindshare grows. And calling them out keeps it that way.

>And it further alienates people like me, who do support immigration and affirmative action etc, but are increasingly turned off by the every diminishing threshold at which terms like these get thrown around.

See, I know a lot of people, and the only ones who ever say things like this are ones on the internet. I've never met a real actual human who is so concerned at the thought of someone calling someone else a name that they're going to stop supporting immigration reform or affirmative action.

Like I said, you seem really, really concerned about not being called a white nationalist. If you really do support things like affirmative action and reasonable immigration policy, I'm not sure why you have such a concern.

Either no one is calling you a white nationalist, in which case, again, why do you care about the nonexistent strawpersno who might do so? Or, the one person who is is so fringe as to be easily ignored.

Or, again, its happening often enough to be a concern. In which case I'd consider asking why. Because like I said, this sounds like an experience unique to you.

Is Signal or WA in that regime? Literally the only reason I don't use WA is because it is owned by FB. But as far as I'm aware both are cryptographically secure. Yes, I'm aware WA has a metadata problem.

So what's good enough? I'd say that if you need a state actor to crack it, I'll call it good enough. At least for the general populous. Any more difficulty that can be made is a bonus imo.

Clearly we can't get a perfect e2e app. So at what point in time do we say "we also need other features that people want so that they'll use our app". That doesn't mean "stop working on encryption" (you can never stop that) but "we're at a good enough point to start targeting a larger market." I think something like Signal is there. Stop focusing on the security geeks and bring in the general public.
I've never had a good experience in Staples. I really try. Every time I go in I think it will be different. It never is. I don't know why I do it. They're just really close and handy for those odd things. It just never ends well. The last time i went in was for pens. It ended with me arguing with a security guard who decided i'd been looking at the pens too long. He stood there yelling at me while I purchased my pens, threatening to call the police...i'm still not sure why...and the cashier was trying his best to be polite and completely uninvolved.
Of course not. But the reason that tenure ostensibly exists is to allow people who are considered in the top of their field academically to say and do things that might be unpopular (with administrators, politicians or the public at large) in the form of teaching their classes, research and publication.[1] The idea is that society wants them to push the envelope without fear of repercussions. Take away the protection that tenure provides, and more often than not (even more) professors will take the path of least resistance and become politicians and bureaucrats rather than educators and researchers.

[1] Yes, tenure has been horribly abused by some professors over the years that had nothing to do with this. There are also those who, while not blatantly abusing it in ways that made headlines, never contributed much back to society in return for the privilege. All systems can be gamed.

Jawaharlal Nehru and Abul Kalam Azad pretty much built entirety of India's Human resources development and Industrial infrastructure with what was one of the poorest countries at the time.

Historic opportunity meets historic people. Jawaharlal Nehru is one of the best things to happen to India both politically and economically. 5 year plans effectively, though taken from the communist governments of USSR, were one of the greatest political innovations of the age. Focus on big things, 5 years at a time and get it done. Agriculture, industrialization, educational infrastructure, space programs, domestic industrial infrastructure, highways, green revolution, white revolution etc. If you are sitting and working in place like Bangalore, that comes from Industrial infrastructure and its inertial effects on educational institutions around Bangalore.

Needless to say garden variety international foreign affairs policies. Which include but do not end at NAM. Which prevented India from becoming a thugs for hire nation for cold war super powers.

This is above and beyond his pivotal role in India's independence movement.

My take on these situations is that they are NP-complete in a way: looking at something (the assistant voice for example) with a clear and objective mind and trying to figure out a way it's offensive is much harder that verifying whether an offensive attitude is being portrayed by that thing.

If by tax-free health account that you pay for yourself you mean an HSA plan, then if you could putting it on that would be a net win because you'd be paying with pre-tax dollars. It would effectively be a discount equal to your marginal federal tax rate.

Unfortunately, as far as I've been able to find you cannot put one on an HSA yet, but many people seem to think the IRS will eventually allow it.
> Blaming on the language what is actually bad testing/architecture is pretty unfair.

I think we can both agree that a SEGFAULT and an unhandled CONSTRAINT_ERROR lead to program termination.

Your right in that at least Ada raised a CONSTRAINT_ERROR. But -- the cause for a CONSTRAINT_ERROR and a SEGFAULT in this case are the same: bad handling of inputs to a function.

So in this case the results would have been the same as well. In either case it comes down to design and proper handling of inputs.

So I don't buy your argument that it is different because of undefined behavior vs. defined behavior. Ada 83 had undefined behavior, too. It's just that Ada coders (well the good ones) knew to avoid it.

> Do you have any source for that ? From my sources, Ada got less and less traction because of various reasons, one of them being the price of compilers at the time.

Having worked in a Large Defense Corp(TM) during the height of the Ada popularity, it became pretty clear that the cost of a compiler for a $100mm program wasn't really the issue.

The GNAT Ada compiler came out in 1995, and I know smaller defense contracts used that as a viable solution to write software.

The primary issues with Ada were:

1. Ada was oversold and underperformed. The Arianne-5 was the kind of tragedy that Ada was supposed to prevent. Interfacing with external systems was a pain. Tooling was a pain. The resulting executables were HUGE at the time.

And then the development itself was expensive. Towards the end of my time writing Ada, our group was coding at the rate of 2 lines of Ada code / developer hour. Compiling took hours, running and testing took hours, etc. So a 20 line code change might easily result in 10 hours of a compiling/testing cycle.

2. No code reuse across defense contractors. Ada didn't have a package manager at the time, and while there were software libraries, there weren't a lot of them. Not like the C/C++ or later the Java world would have. So if you needed something, most likely you had to write it from scratch.

3. Java got popular around 2000ish and showed what a great software ecosystem looked like. Around 2005ish most new successful defense development was on java.
> The problem is that those people went through their schooling being told that they were awesome and should be a professor (by people who successfully became tenured professors, and who didn't experience failure).

IMO it's still on them if they didn't do the research on what their outcome might look like. I absolutely loved physics in high school and chose to study computer science because I knew it would pay my bills. 8 years later I am not regretting my decision at all.

It was originally developed by many nations sharing the data. So, it can't probably be kept as much in secret as F22 anyway, this is why it is available for export.

It also fills a completely different role. U.S. has such an overwhelming air superiority in any potential combat theater from Somalia to Moscow that they shouldn't be worried about someone having a better plane to bomb then.

It would be pretty bizarre to refuse on principal to learn from experience. The F35 is expected to be in use through the 2060s. Part of the engineering challenge is designing around the fact that human pilots are expected to be phased out mid-lifecycle for these airframes.

> The Army isn't allowed to operate fixed-wing aircraft.

That is 100% false. The 160th SOAR flies some CASA-212s, the MC-12 and the regular army flies a variety of SEMA and transport fixed wing aircraft. The Army doesn’t fly fighters, but air superiority isn’t their mission, that’s the Air Force’s job. Naval Aviation is really just a weapons system for ships; it’s for force projection rather than air superiority; Marine Aviation is strictly close air support for Marine operations: not force projection or air superiority.

The Army isn’t more than satisfied with Apaches: they’re not going to be buying any more as the FVL program comes online. That program is taking over from the Blackhawks and Apaches. The Apache was designed to fight tanks in Western European Cold War scenarios.

However, the Army actually wants F-35s rather than the Warthog for CAS. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said as much at a symposium last year. However, he wants the Air Force flying those planes as that has been the traditional division of labor for the Army: the Air Force generally provides CAS. But it doesn’t really matter what anyone says, there is a contingent of people that hate the military and everything the F-35 represents, regardless of the actual quality of the airplane. The critics have never flown the plane and many of those critics have never spent any time in combat situations where an F-35 would be relevant. There are plenty of ridiculous weapons systems that we don’t need (the Crusader artillery system for example,) but the F-35 isn’t one of them. It’s an incredible plane that allows missions that just wouldn’t be possible in a Super Hornet or a Raptor — at least not without unacceptable losses.
