> Apart from the theoretical difficulties with the picture you present, the practical difficulty is that Congress is a dysfunctional, incompetent mess. Do you trust them to actually tax the right amounts, at the right time, to make MMT work?

There's no amount to make MMT work: MMT “works” by explaining that the “fisc”, the finite treasury you have to fill with taxes or borrowing in order to spend, is artifice, a set of unnecessary and misleading complications that comes from treating fiat currency as if it were commodity currency; tax and spending levels have monetary effects, and those are the fundamental constraints.

> I don't want them anywhere near monetary policy.

MMT tells you this is a self-delusion: “fiscal” policy is fundamentally monetary, and moreover it's powerful monetary policy, which the notional “monetary” authority is denied because of a fictitious distinction.

If you want an independent guarantor of sound monetary policy, MMT tells you, great, and you can give them control of the level of a universal stipend and/or a parameter that is part of the definition of the tax rates for all tax brsckets, while leaving Congress to set the distributional policy (who is qualified for the stipend, what the other factors in tax rates are, etc.), and its fine because aggregate levels of spending and taxes are no less monetary policy than interbank interest rates sre.
Right, but my point is that statement on its own doesn't mean 825,000 people are now living above the poverty line. How many of them moved out of Canada? How many are deceased?

All this tells us is the numbers came up different. It doesn't give facts about why.
>>Just seems like ICE employees are only targeting latinos... intentionally. And that's the most bothering part of this to me. We're cool with Swedes overstaying their welcome...

Different teams deal with visa overstaying. In that area, most of illegal immigrants are almost certainly latinos. I guess that if a group of 14 Nigerian males showed up at Motel 6, they'd call ICE too.
I have never trusted this Datacentre narratives because it doesn't make sense. On one hand you have you Intel saying they can not supply enough CPU because of high demands, on the other hand Component manufacture are blaming the low Supply in the channel for their lower than expected sales. All while AMD is taking server and desktop side market shares, no matter how small the percentage that is.

I think it basically boils down to few things.

1. Surprise Drop of Smartphone Unit Sold, we saw the first YoY decline in total Smartphone Unit shipment. ( Unit, not revenue ). Out of a 1.3B Smartphone market, even a 5% drop is a huge volume to fill.

2. Better than expected yield of 3D NAND. Which means you actually have an increase in output. And it just happen all three, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron were able to yield better at the same time. To be fair they have been very conservatives with their estimate.

3. More Chinese DRAM and NAND are being used in the Domestic market. Which is unofficially required for selling phones in China.

All these along with the improved efficiency of DRAM and NAND Fabs for trying to fill orders during 2017 and 2018 without building new Fabs. Meant the DRAM / NAND are hit with a perfect storm.

Design patterns were developed by C++ and Smalltalk people.
I've heard that long warm compilation times can be mitigated by breaking up code into separate modules so it doesn't recompile e.g. the actor system every time you adjust a layout. Basically caching works best on the module boundary. Is this something you've explored?

Seems like many people start and end this way. Games are a great motivation to learn how to code. But once you do, you find that other subfields of CS are more interesting and useful. And you just get older. :)

But that is not reason to quit game development entirely. It is still a good hobby that makes you a much better programmer, because it touches so many areas of CS and math. 3d graphics, state machines, trees/graphs, pathfinding, multithreading, memory management, vector math, networking etc.
Hi, author of the utility here. Yeah there wasn't a repo yet when we went live, I whipped the whole thing up in a night when Jason put out a request for helpers. I've now published the code for this player to Github, it's available at https://github.com/jbaicoianu/ia-myspace-music-search - pull requests welcome! Still figuring out which license Archive.org wants (I'm just a volunteer).

I've also added a download link to the player, so it's easier to get at the original mp3s now. However, it'll still have the obfuscated hash filename - I tried using the "download" attribute on the download href, but unfortunately it runs into issues with CORS.

I took a bunch of notes as I was developing this too, I'm planning on publishing it as a post soon. Keep an eye out for the follow-up!

It is worse than gambling since you are going to lose everything. I know plenty of casual gamblers who put a certain amount through a casino and walk away with their wealth intact.

Everyone I know who has gone into forex trading has lost everything they owned (admittedly this is a smallish sample). They seemed to think they had figured out some smart system, but they all blew up in the end. Very dangerous.
I'm a full-time freelancer, and I spend quite a lot on traveling now that I can work from anywhere. It certainly costs a lot of money, but for the past 8 years I've been doing this, I never felt it as a waste of money.

Those $5 coffees not only have helped me relax, recharge my gadgets and use their wifi, but also to get my work done. Not working at all vs paying for a coffee to earn some money is an easy decision to make.

On hindsight, though, money I've spent on cloths and jewelery, or super fine wine and alcohol, or high end restaurants feel like a massive waste of money.
Pretty funny talk, but also informative.
On the point of the beater vs the new car... I find the best is often a middle ground. The new car is not worth the debt and the depreciation... assuming it's even an option.

The beater is often just as poor an investment due to the money you'll have to throw into it like a black hole whenever it fails. There's also the stress and instability it creates knowing it may not start the next morning.
Maybe they're big because they're from The Netherlands.
Latent Component Shadowing
Streaming music services will get dominated by the companies that have ancillary product revenues not directly related to music. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon will be the survivors in this race to the bottom as it makes little difference whether their music services are highly profitable or not. Before arguing with me about this, think about how little actual profit exists in Pandora and Spotify and how hard it would be to change that equation. It isn't that the big guys are predatory (maybe they are) it is that they make money selling something other than music, but music is a necessary part of making their other products complete.

Making a profit from selling music in a service is a very tough business.
Interesting that you take factorio as inspiration. May I know what part of factorio that you want to add into, that seems lacking in other games of same genre like sim city?

On the other hand, how do you plan for in-game scale / limit? (Millions of population, etc) and whether you have any idea about multiplayer/server (I'm talking similar with clustertorio)
I do agree that 'experiencing everything' is bad advice.

That said, I think arguing abstinence with something as vague and broad as 'drugs' can and often does backfire in the same way it does with something as vague and broad as 'sex'.

I've known more than a few people who, having been taught to abstain from both (the former in general, the latter until marriage), ended up engaging with both in an extremely irresponsible way and with unpleasant consequences.

Learning how to responsibly engage in different kinds of 'sexual activity' makes it easier, not harder, to prevent something like unwanted pregnancy. I'd say it's the same with drugs.

That said, I can understand where you're coming from and it's also good for people to hear stern warnings at times. Even in my surroundings, where 'drugs' are pretty normalized, their status is still enough in the area of prohibition that erring on the side of not partaking might be the better approach.
The one is San Jose is even worse. You have to show up 2 hours before the Post Office opens to get a spot.

Yes, but it's still a good news for Samsung.
That's what I mean by "acts perfectly rationally", which is another idealized abstraction that could be defined as "maximizes the unweighted sum of the utility functions given to it". In other words, if we replaced the central planning board with a computer and gave it full information of the utility functions of all citizens and the cost of production for each of these goods and services, it could in theory come up with an ideal solution. Coming up with full information on utility and cost functions across all possible things that could be produced is left as an exercise to the reader.
I know Christoff Wetterich! From the time of my Ph.D. when we were working the Renormalization Group. I met him a few times, we were working on similar things but in different groups, we were "competitors" if you wish. Funny to see him cited in HackerNews. He is certainly a respectable physicists, but that can be said for many others. I have not read the cited article, it is in my field, so I could understand it if my memory worked well, but after 20 years from my Ph.D. I am too rusted now.

We need a travel service where the night before you need to be at your destination, you get packed, then take some drug that will cause a deep sleep and go to bed.

The service comes to your house, transfers you (still asleep) to a vehicle and takes you and your luggage to the airport. There you are loaded onto a plane (still asleep!) and flown to your destination.

At the destination, they take you to your hotel, and put you (still asleep!) into bed, and optionally even unpack your luggage and set your alarm for you. Then they administer something to counteract the sleeping drug and leave.

From your point of view, you just go to sleep and the next morning you wake up in your hotel, ready to start the day at your destination.
According to your article (other comment) on Magnasanti, "There are no roads — all transit is mass transit."

That is hardly "a lot of conservative politics baked into the design of the game", nor would any such politics be "potentially damaging to the kids who played it".

If somebody gets a harmful lesson from the game, it is that you can have a viable modern city without any place to drive a truck.
Agreed, that's why I'm more interested and excited about carbon-carbon batteries. Li-ion is the ugly wart on the face of green renewable technologies, we are just tolerating it for now because we don't have anything better yet. I hope it doesn't stay there
As do the Ethiopians. They sent the black boxes to the French NTSB, clearly they don’t trust US investigators not to be leaned on by Boeing.

In any case the root cause of the problem is Boeing cheaper out on the Angle of Attack detector, by default only one is installed, a second one as an added-cost option. To be fault-tolerant, you need a quorum and thus a minimum of 3, as Airbus does. I would also add the 3 need to be made by different manufacturers to avoid systemic issues, if disk array manufacturers can do it, so can Boeing for safety-critical equipment.
Is that true? Or, have the scandals occurred in places on the edges?

It used to be that DuPont, etc..., would dump chemicals into rivers in the literal middle of America. Now, they seem to be operating in more remote places, i.e., like Down Chemical in central/southern Argentina, where information, perhaps, doesn't flow quite as readily or quite as quickly.
People are coming here because they think they can find a better life. What is the argument for trying to stop that?

Also, the phrase "illegal alien" is extremely dehumanizing. These are just people.

Agreed on all counts.

What I find the most distasful is when people make it to the top of the pyramid, look down, and scream advice at those below.

Some do it to assuage their guilt, some to raise themselves further above the rabble, and others - whom I despise the most - decide to profit from their status by selling their "wisdom".
If adding more is not a concern, then I'd go for redox flow batteries - much cheaper, less toxic, some unique advantages (such as capacity is only limited by the size of your tank)
The question is why the red shift happens, and the proposed answer is that the photons were actually emitted with less energy.

It's not a nonsense question. You shouldn't treat it like one. And your weird sarcastic question is just off-topic, not nonsense, so it's very confusing as a counter to begin with.

This article made me ponder the utility of, as a nation, having an independently functioning portion of your economy and society underground at bunker depths, as a component of national security.

If the shit ever did really hit the fan, and you had something on the order of 10+% of your population entirely self-sufficient underground, these would be the survivors and they'd already be entirely acclimated to, and prepared for, the situation.

It's some food for thought...

> "OOP" was/is sold as a solution for everything computing, including the 95% of the time it is not a good fit. I call that track record "abysmal", your mileage may vary.

In terms of real programs in the real world, OOP in the form of Java/C++/C# is by far the most successful programming paradigm ever. It's sort of amazing that anyone would call it's track record 'abysmal'
I heard from grapevine that cloud vendors accumulated DRAM stockpile. That's why CPU demand is high but DRAM demand is low.
Whatever the policy on the books is, we have a pretty clearly different actual policy resulting from the way ICE chooses to enforce the law: brown people who want to live here are treated strictly and with hostility and white people who want to live here are treated on the whole with more leniency.
Or in very straightforward terms:

If everything constantly grows heavier then the past is red and the future is blue.
It’s been bubbling along under the radar for a while now and seems to have hit a bit of a zeitgeist recently.

It's because when you buy a 1TB hard drive, plug it in, Windows reports that it was actually a 900GB hard drive or something like that and you feel cheated.

All file sizes everywhere we look are reported using binary prefixes. That's why people say the HD manufacturers are dishonest. It's a fair point of view.
I think you are underestimating how effective flashcards can be, particularly as part of a larger system. I'm starting a 4-year PhD in September to develop a system that will gloss words (in text/subtitles in a variety of clients, like FF, ebook readers, media players, etc.) that aren't in your (Anki-compatible) flashcards. That means you get to read "normal" text, enriched with glosses only for words you don't know. The idea is basically to provide automated scaffolding at exactly the level the learner is currently at vocab-wise.

There is an extension to Anki that does what you suggest with the video frames (at least for Japanese?), and I want to integrate that (or similar) at some stage. But there are heaps of cool ideas to implement if you take the flashcard database as a first approximation of a representation of the learner's (lexical) knowledge of a language and then enrich real-world texts that the learner is interested in with enough help to appreciate the real-world content. The beauty with having a representation of the learner's knowledge is that you can take a number of different approaches (say depending on the % of unknown words) or even just let the learner decide how much help they want/need on a given content consumption session. With even a small number of users the data generated will also be pretty awesome for research purposes.

It's pretty clunky still (I haven't started the thesis yet) but it is all going to be completely open-source and I definitely hope I'm not the only one to contribute to it, so hopefully it will get some momentum at some stage, and there will be heaps of clients that can talk to the server part. https://transcrob.es

If you try really hard, you can find little pieces of evidence of any agenda in any material. It seems like Jeff Braun tried really really hard if he says SimCity is bad because it pushes the opponents agenda. The evidence quickly disappears once you step back and try to see the big picture. It's just a game. And mass transit actually makes sense.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I feel like our industry is in two camps right now, one that firmly believes quality always pays off and one which believes it is more of a luxury.

Unfortunately, I don't see either side backing it up with anything that looks like real evidence. It's so complicated to evaluate that I don't think anyone really can prove either way. But you can't not have an opinion since it's an important question, so it seems like people join one camp or the other mostly because it suits their personality or working style.

If they take pride in their work and feel disappointment at the prospect of producing code they can't be proud of, they tend to believe quality is worth it in the end. If they are impatient and like to wrap up one thing quickly so they can move on to the next thing, they tend to be in the other camp.

I myself am in the quality and correctness camp, and I really would love to know that it always pays off because that would mean the way I prefer to develop software is also the most practical and reasonable way. But I can't really prove that it's the right view when you consider the economics.
Rust is interesting to me but honestly, I'm going to stick to elixir because I have high confidence I can train juniors to code safely on it, and I have no particular need for performance (most of my stuff is iO or network bound)

Yes, it was already pretty well understood that the new M3 motor design was superior to the S/X so it's not too surprising that they'd upgrade the entire lineup to the new shiny. Especially if you consider the S/X are supposed to be at the top of the lineup.
I see there is a bit in there about the city economy. Are you interested in expanding that to supporting a full monetary economy with employment, commuting and the like?

That certainly interests me - particularly how the pathologies of an economy like that emerge from individual actions - and I’ve been looking at Elixir to generate the necessary actor simulation engine. Looks to me like you have that here in Rust.

How could I get involved in helping to add a more detailed economy to this sim?
Exactly. The bureaucracy is usually the reason why we can't bring the great smart solutions from our dreamed-up virtual worlds into the real world.
>The problem is that the people who pay for the creation of software (i.e. corporate directors) are usually ignorant about all things except for money and the vague desires of their customers.

Oversimplification. Solving a problem just well-enough to live to fight another day is baked into capitalism in a deep way through competition, whether that competition is internal or external. .
This is helpful for me to follow the details. Thanks!

Somehow everybody agrees with this, yet it is extremely rare to find anybody deleting much code. If not writing code is good, deleting code should be much better. At least, delete the code that shouldn't have been written!

Me, I never feel quite so productive as when I have deleted 1000 lines of code. Sometimes I need to replace it with 20 or 100 lines, which is sad, but still a net improvement. Yet, most days I find I write more code than I delete.

There is a current fashion in C++ to eliminate loops from your code, replacing them with calls to generic algorithms -- written on the spot, if necessary. It is hard to see how this will be an improvement when you start, but after a series of minor transformations, the improvement accelerates and code just starts to seem to evaporate.
I just had a conversation with somebody who asserted that Apple was bad (proprietary etc) and Samsung was good, and that Apple was 3rd phone maker behind Samsung and Huawei.

He may be right about Apple being 3rd, but Apple looks to be the only one making a decent profit from their phones.

How do they manage that when they have to pay for both hardware and software development, when all the others get the software for free?

Well, in my defense, I never intended it as a counter. Like I explained, I was being flippant. I responded with nonsense to something that I originally perceived as being nonsense. I can accept that I was wrong. And, absolutely, in retrospect, at the very least, it was all in bad taste.

> The question is why the red shift happens, and the proposed answer is that the photons were actually emitted with less energy.

I didn't get that from TFA or the GP question at all. What are you basing that on? What am I missing? A more careful reading?
