It's an interesting question, because Fed rates are going to be held permanently low due to the US Government's debt / interest costs (and the next ~$18 trillion that will be stapled on over the coming ~15 years). Those Japan-style permanently low rates will always press upwards on risk capital markets like venture capital. It spurs capital to seek higher returns versus the weak yields everywhere else (whether treasuries or other). Start-ups will become more valuable persistently due to this effect, at least for the next 10-15 years prior to the end fallout once the US Government is formally drowning in debt interest cost (which is when the really bad consequences kick in, like full blown aggressive currency debasement to chop the debt down and stealth default; everyone will be taking real haircuts then, anyone with assets in dollars anyway).

I think it would take a very severe recession, in the 2009-2010 style, to hammer venture capital down considerably. Instead I expect Japan stagnation to continue to envelop the US economy, and for the exact same debt-laden reason. Ever slower growth, low traditional inflation (higher real inflation from currency debasement QE), debt taking up an ever larger share of capital available for investment, stagnant productivity, stagnant wages. With the enormous amount of wealth in the US, trillions of dollars will always be looking at the venture capital market in a given decade. ~2012-2035 will probably be the best years for venture capital in US tech history, and broadly the best context for start-ups, that we'll ever see. It's early in the loose money sloshing period from perma low rates, but not yet late such that you're eating an always-on QE real-value debasement hammer constantly (which sucks down your real value creation, as you run uphill against the Fed while it tries to debase government debt to keep the US Govt solvent).
Well then, sounds like a problem that can easily be solved with the meager expense of public facilities, trashcans, and open spaces that aren't sidewalks for the unhoused to hang out in.

That fear is irrational. While you go on to describe one reason for that, another is that cracking a solid encryption isn't something people can just do.

The vast computer power necessary to maybe crack something like a humble RSA1024 in 8 years can more easily make enough BitCoin to buy a small nation.

This. So. Much.

I can't explain just how much developing on GCP has helped me simply by having such amazing documentation. I don't think I appreciated how little I knew: every company where we worked with on premise/ internal services, we would have to use custom services built by others. With GCP, you have complete freedom, not just to design your application architecture from scratch, but to understand how others (coworkers mostly) have designed _their_ applications too! And as a company, it allows the sharing of a common set of best practices, automatically, since its "recommended by Google".

Its kinda like Google/Amazon are now the System/Operations engineers for our company. Which they're good at. And its awesome.

According to the most recent paper, "renters who came later paid about 5% more than they would have in the absence of rent control." https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/rent-controls-winners-... That doesn't sound disastrous. After the 2016 election I would think free market proponents would be more appreciative of the value of economic security and the costs of structural dislocation, but I guess not.... Anyhow, rent control in SF only applies to pre-1979 buildings, so if anything rent control provides an incentive to build new housing.

We need more new housing, period. We can at least agree on that. I don't see how rent control prevents the creation of new housing. The city and its voters do that all by themselves.
From an engineering/development sense, this is a good thing, because it means that devs are cheaper. Most devs can't even handle being a good client of things like databases. They barely comprehend what the underlying theories are behind SQL (eg sets etc).

Just like early electricity, people ran their own generators. That got outsourced, so the standard "sparky" wouldn't have the faintest idea of the requirements of the generation side, only the demand side.

The same is happening to programming.

Password managers like LastPass and 1Password have a significant advantage over offline database tools like KeePass: You can easily share individual passwords with your co-workers in a somewhat secure way.

KeePass for instance lacks the ability to do just that. You can either a) share the entire database or b) use multiple databases with different passwords. However, a) is not secure as your co-workers get access to passwords they do not need and b) is very inconvenient.

LastPass (or 1Password, Bitwarden) makes sharing individual passwords within your team very easy, convenient and secure enough. You can create shared folders and define permissions to access those by certain members of your team, and most importantly, deny access to other members. Is there any offline based password manager that allows you to do that (and is usable by the average Joe)?
Rose colored glasses. The 60s had the most terrifying increase in crime in living memory (one of many graphs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#/...). Until MLKs death he and other civil rights movement leaders were incredibly unpopular (check polling of time). By most measures, now is less of a time when the best days are behind us.
One issue with this view is that such petitions tend to be spread with near perfect coverage. So only 2,000 people out of 98,000 signing does generally mean that the other 96,000 are more likely to be opposed/neutral to the 2000. And the current culture of Google such that openly expressing support for a panel that includes genuinely diverse ideological views is something that could have consequences.

As one interesting aside, this is the exact same reason that protests no longer have the effect or meaning that they used to. During things such as the social rights movement organizing and getting your message out was really hard. Imagine trying to organize people when your biggest form of advertising something would be either calling people on a phone manually entering those 7-10 digits each time, by doing things like stapling a sign to a utility poll. And on top of this travel was also quite expensive. What that means is that every protester would generally represent far more people than himself simply because those other people were either unaware or unable to attend.

But today you can reach nearly every single interested individual, and organize with extreme efficiency due to the internet. And a domestic plane flight or bus is incredibly cheap. Because of this a million people protesting today don't necessarily represent all that many people other than themselves. So it creates quite the spectacle but has lost the very meaning that protests used to bring.
This is no different from being any other professional athlete.

E-sports should drop the 'E' moniker, because the 'E' part is less significant than the 'sports' part. People think playing games is less taxing and less skillful than a 'real' athlete's work, but it's not. The same level applies, upto and including the revenue model.

They should be increasing the density, not reducing it.
I really wonder what can reasonably be done about this. It seems to be commonly accepted that TSA and border security are generally totally incompetent [1], but AFAIK no politician is making a strong effort to fix the problem. To me it's not really clear how it can be fixed anyways, as long as we continue to give inordinate power to jobs which have minimal requirements.

I'm sure just about everyone who travels frequently has had a bad experience at a border. Here's an anecdote: One time when I was returning from an overseas trip a border security guy said there was a problem and started questioning me about my trip and my whereabouts for the past couple years. He wouldn't hand the passport back to me and wouldn't say what the problem was. I finally got him to say that I was missing a visa. About 5 minutes later after finally convincing him to keep flipping through the passport instead of asking me more pointless questions, lo and behold, the visa was right on a page in my passport where it was supposed to be.

And yet despite the utter waste of my time and uncomfortable questioning, I didn't dare to say something slightly snarky like "you couldn't have looked through the passport once before deciding I didn't have a visa?", because I've read too many horror stories of ppeople being thrown into cells at US borders with little or no recourse and certainly no responsibility on the part of whoever makes that decision. Ultimately, in its current state these procedures are far too prone to one dude having a bad day and taking it out by power tripping on some poor traveller.

what is kay cole james' expertise on ai ethics that she should be on the council?

is there no other person in computer science, mathematics, privacy research or some professor that is a conservative that holds none of this baggage and says shitty things? and like one of staff at vox said, why bring someone who is entrenched in the political culture war in the first place?

you want a set of diverse views. assuming she wasn't actually anti-trans, anti-lgbtq, do you think this woman knows enough about ai to represent the views of conservatives?

let's say this ethics council actually had power and could dictate what google or alphabet as a company could do in regards to ai. do you trust her to understand the topic at hand to then also address conservative concerns? let's say they make a ruling and she was too ignorant to the issue at hand (maybe those sneaky leftists used language that hid their leftist agenda). what is the likelihood of outrage by the "far-right" that the council was setup to be some pro-left google cabal because they brought someone with zero knowledge of the situation to represent the conservative side?

I have no dog in this race but I'm curious how this would play out long term. The people that are made homeless and have to move are all working in jobs necessary to a functioning society, cutting hair, stacking shelves, cleaning toilets, etc. How do these functions get replaced?

Would higher salaries be offered? If so the relative pay of tech workers would go down and it could create a real inflationary feedback cycle, surely tech workers would probably price themselves out of the market at some point.

Would people commute from further away instead? Surely the number of people willing to commute 2 hours each way for low pay would be limited. This would also cause a whole heap of traffic issues.

Would these sorts of jobs simply move out of the city? It's hard to imagine but what if a grocery store simply couldn't afford people to stack shelves and they all closed down? Does everyone order from Amazon?

In most cases it seems having a viable working class in the area is what allows tech workers to be rich.

What truth, exactly?
Ironically people seem to have a yearning for the time period two eras before where they are. Right as the suburbanized car era was getting started (1930s-1950s), there was a wave of nostalgia for the agrarian past, with homesteads on the prairie and wide open fields. Literature from that era: Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Little House on the Prairie, Gone with the Wind, Grapes of Wrath.

Now we seem to be nostalgic for the urbanized town square with walkable shops and residences above - basically the 1900-1930 time period. Maybe when we're old and feeble we'll get to see our kids pine for the suburbanized developments, green grass lawns, and big-box retailers as they live in their arcologies and have all consumer goods delivered to them through matter-compilers.
It shows how important dishonesty is in keeping the system alive and healthy. Without the lies the whole thing starts falling apart.

Like you look at what percentage of homes go up for sale in specific neighborhoods. If it's like 20% a year that would be pretty high. If it's 2-3% a year, that's a very stable neighborhood and would imply that folks are hunkering down for the long term there.

That decreasing the price causes elastic demand doesn’t indicate that raise the price decreases demand elastically: there can be a largely inelastic base load.

> Higher-paying workers are more likely to pay more, since people with price-inelastic demand for driving are more likely to be those who value their time more highly.

Again, this is only true absent coercive forces —

Higher paid workers (on average) also have more schedule flexibility and ability to use money to cover for their physical absence.

By contrast, lower paid workers have less flexible schedules and a greater need to utilize their time — eg, they have to perform childcare because their market rate per hour is below child care services.

This leads to a situation where high paid workers have more elastic price demand than low paid workers, and raising prices ends up charging low paid workers because if market distortions from other factors.
Control column position is not a delta. On a 737 that position directly correlates to the position of the elevator in degrees. Elevator position, stabilizer position, and airspeed as they were we can infer a force; corroborated by their own words, it's reasonable that this situation is described in the "mistrim nose down" sketch about 1/3 of the way down here:

05:41:30 - PIC requests SIC to pitch up with him

05:41:46, 05:41:54 manual trim not working, that is absolutely a trim wheel hand crank attempt; fairly clear (to me) but not stated is that both pilots were not simultaneously cranking on the trim wheel, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that this exact configuration puts to much upward force on the jackscrew that it is difficult to impossible to turn.

05:43:04, PIC asks SIC to pitch up together says pitch is not enough

As for the noisiness of the control column position data, it could be partly the stick shaker, it could be light turbulence, the accel vert row at the bottom shows it's a bumpy flight, and pitch and roll attitude is also variable but less so than vertical accelerate. And accel vert gets noticably more perturbed as airspeed increases. I think it's light to moderate turbulence, but I'm not certain. A search for PIREPs and weather reports at the time could corroborate it.

> New Knowledge's objective was to deceive voters.

From reading the article, the group's¹ objective wasn't to deceive voters, it was to research how these tactics worked. Are you suggesting that a single $100k research project was sufficient to alter the course of an election with a $51M advertising budget? As near as I can tell, that's just how the right-wing media is trying to spin it. Certainly if I were to actually try and alter the outcome of an election like this, I'd expect to be spending a lot more than $100k to do so.

That said, I find it hard to believe you're arguing in good faith when you're drawing parallels between a limited spread of misinformation centered around a single event with literally murdering people.

Good economic policies make up for a multitude of mistakes and bad ones squander the best history, infrastructure and previous policies. Singapore is much wealthier than Malaysia, which is much wealthier than Indonesia. The differences in natural resources and infrastructure there do not account for the differences in wealth, policy does.

In 1954 Ghana was far richer than South Korea, which was a bombed out hellscape that had been the scene of a conflict between superpowers after WWII. Ghana is no longer richer than South Korea, to put it mildly.

Botswana and Equatorial Guinea are both blessed with abundant mineral resources, diamonds for the former, oil for the latter. Botswana is a prosperous middle income country; Equatorial Guinea’s people live in wretched poverty while the president and his cronies live in luxury.

If we look at Botswana’s neighbour, Zimbabwe, we can see what bad policy can do, turning the breadbasket of Africa into a basket case and a food importer. Or compare Venezuela and Colombia. Their colonial experiences were similar, they were once one country and Venezuela had the advantage of massive oil reserves. None of it matters if your policies are bad enough. Price controls, seizure of private property and general thuggish incompetence have turned Venezuela into a disaster.

Enough of the soft bigotry of low expectations; some countries have done much better than any plausible comparator because of good policy. We should praise those who did and decry those who didn’t. Ethiopia and Tanzania both started stupid campaigns of collectivisation leading to mass famine. Tanzania stopped, Ethiopia kept going. If we see idiocy we should call it out, good policy we should praise it.
