I’ve been seeing a lot of these articles lately. We need someone to write about the alarming homogeneity of articles about the similarity of Instagram photos.
"Do you think the US government could cover every single cent if all the depositors wanted their money out now?

Not even physical cash, just a transfer to an overseas account. The money simply isn't there and the scales are enormous."

What do you mean by "money"? How can money "simply" not be available, when it's a matter of updating a row in a database? The issue is whether assets exist. Googling suggests the US contains assets worth $124 trillion; is that incredible to you?

And if we wanted to print $124 trillion of cash to represent all the assets, that would be silly, but just as doable as a wall on the Mexican border.
Never say never. Companies pretty routinely do surprisingly underhanded/unethical things once they begin to experience financial difficulties, if not on their own then under pressure from investors.
Nix's usage of source hashes to pin every package is more and more prescient, as each language's custom-written package manager reinvents the wheel. (Pun indented!)
Verizon’s scumbag lawyer was appointed as head of the FCC and promptly rolled regulation on robo-calls.
We’ve been fighting a hospital on an overcharge that drained our HSA account. Every person we talked to has been utterly flabbergasted that we are complaining because “it says here you owe $0”. They can’t get it through their heads that the insurance paid them with our own money, and that we’d like to be refunded the overage.

It’s just a confusing concept to these people. This is what happens when most people use someone else’s money to pay for things. Nobody knows or cares what anything is supposed to cost.

When I googled "jane harmon alberto gonzalez" I found a lot of blog spam linking to Jeff Stein's original reporting on that, but Stein's article 404ed.

"It may not be worth much if everyone actually demanded they could hold the dollar amount of their accounts in their hands in paper money"

If literally nobody (hypothetically) is willing to own actual land, factories, and so on, then it's the tangible assets that are worthless, not the money. It would be the ultimate in deflation.
Suppose the real number is 3%. 74% sounds pretty good as a way to soften the blow a bit. It would be best to let the air out over a matter of weeks than minutes.
If you just carry a dumb phone, all they'll get are contacts and a record of calls made. And of course, you wouldn't have done anything iffy with that phone. Or even taken it anywhere iffy. So no problem.

Danny I'm all the way with you on your comments, for example:

Did you actually get a job, or even an interview....the author doesn't say?
A recent student software engineering competition competition in Canada gave first prize to a team that used cell phone signals and embedded devices around an area to locate a person and track their movements. It was a sponsored project, the idea being to use it in airports. The sponsor was very happy.
You could always ask....
In addition to what vkou said, firing individuals for low performance in the US, as opposed to mass layoffs, typically requires putting them through the PIP process (performance improvement plan), which is onerous and stressful for the manager. My limited understanding is it involves the manager, HR, and employee agreeing on a project and timeline that would constitute satisfactory performance, then constantly checking in and documenting progress. The purpose is for the company to collect proof the employee can't perform their job to indemnify themselves.

But I've seen people just temporarily work really hard and/or get lots of help while they're on a PIP, succeed at it, and then revert to old habits. In a lot of cases rather than go through the trouble to put a report through a PIP, which may not have the desired outcome anyway, the manager will just put them off in a corner and give them unimportant tasks, making it that much easier for them to just coast.
No that's absolutely a fair and true point, my comment was more pointed at the RNG aspect. I have not looked into this specific one either but normally people would hopefully not publish their best randomly achieved run if the system cannot reproduce it or similar results.

That being said the paper in question doesn't seem to reference open source code anyway so I guess my point was kind of moot, apologies.
As someone who lived only countries with free public health service,these numbers are appalling.Not the numbers per se but rather lack of competition between healthcare providers.

Thanks for your feedback. If you look around you'll see it's almost all written by a handful of full-time staff - this piece from an anonymous contributor is almost unique.

Most articles we write at this point are less high-level than this one, though pages that focus on general advice which is applicable to a wide range of people naturally attract the most traffic.

I certainly agree it's possible, but at that stage you've gone down the Venezuelan path and I'd assume there are far smarter regulators in the States. The money wouldn't be given out, not even a fraction, it's a such a huge risk to stability that they'd cancel withdrawals and work from there. We saw this happen in Cyprus.

I wouldn't expose my family to my own pet theories. I'd choose to listen to the oncologist. There is a downside to fasting as well.

Your insurance has access to spend your HSA? That's certainly not how mine is set up, and I'm surprised that's even possible. Did you give them your account number and authorization to spend your money?

This advice makes sense... only if you are already fortunate enough that choosing to take unpaid work, buying all your meals out, etc. is a reasonable choice that doesn't impact your personal finances.

For the rest of us, though, we need to get there first. The best advice I have for younger people to help them get there is not to optimize your earnings, but instead to minimize your personal burn rate. It is nice to have enough money for nice homes and other things. It is even nicer to know that if your income went away, you can still live on a low-paying job is you absolutely had to. And it is wonderful to be able to take any job you want, with a high salary being a nice-to-have bonus, not a requirement due to choices you made in where and how to live.

Have you tried framing it as pro bono or a not-for-profit project?

I know of a non profit project that tried to set up a formal non profit corporation and ultimately threw in the towel. It still exists. It still does what it has always done. But there is no board, no heavy paperwork, no budget, etc.

It's run as a website and a collection of email lists, same as it ever was. Trying to turn it into a formal non profit turned out to involve a lot of hassle and, seemingly, little to no upside -- or, at least, not enough upside to make the bureaucratic overhead make sense.
How would the world be today if the government pulled all the brightest engineers off working on optimizing advertising tech at FAANG companies and paid them equally to solve these larger societal problems such as homelessness, reversing climate change/pollution, solving cancer, creating unlimited nuclear energy to replace fossil fuels, terraforming Mars for the humans, etc? I can only wonder... Thoughts?

Yes.

Yes. I think the arrangement is technically called an “HRA”.
That's the problem. As a healthcare consumer, there is no way to discern between costs of providers. Just that some are "in-network" (meaning your insurance works with them and they agree to your insurance's rates) and "out-of-network".

It is extremely difficult to determine how much things will cost in the US system ahead of time and there is no reasonable way you can "shop" around for better prices when it comes to healthcare.

It's like you go out for dinner, but the restaurant won't tell you how much things cost, just that you should definitely order X,Y, and Z. And all the restaurants in town have the same policy. You order it, and then they mail you the bill 2 weeks later. Only for you to find out the exorbitant costs. Plus, they decided to charge you for the extra ketchup you requested.
What?

Each of the provided examples from the parent comment are causal perturbations to the system that establish necessity (although perhaps not sufficiency) beyond a pure correlation. If you lesion a part of the brain, you lose associated "mental" faculties. If you perturb the system via disease or chemicals, you observe a corresponding change in the mental state. This is evidence of a one way interaction beyond correlation.
PyDist is specifically for Python packages, so it's 1) a better fit in this niche (for example, it mirrors PyPI so you can install public and private packages through a single index, and you won't be broken by packages deleted from PyPI), and 2) it's much cheaper if you don't need everything else Artifactory offers.

Bank reserves have little to do with money creation:

> Lord Adair Turner, formerly the UK's chief financial regulator, said "Banks do not, as too many textbooks still suggest, take deposits of existing money from savers and lend it out to borrowers: they create credit and money ex nihilo (out of nothing) – extending a loan to the borrower and simultaneously crediting the borrower’s money account

> the German central bank explains that the money supply is not determined by the reserves of private banks, but by market factors and regulatory decisions.

That's exactly the point, we could keep using existing planes, trains, cars, ships, trucks, etc. without releasing new carbon.

Electric cars are just now practical and available for most people, but without radically improved battery tech we can't make practical electric airlines for example.

Plus, it makes carbon capture tech cheaper.
I completely agree. All these career advice and self-help are mostly useless. Pretty much success is "showing up" + "effort" + "luck". Luck is who you know, who your dad knows, how the economy is, where you are born, when you are born, what opportunities are available, etc. "Showing up" and "effort", you can control. Luck you can't.

The career advice and self-help industry are just modern day snake oil peddled to the gullible who are either lazy or who refuse to accept that luck plays a role in success.

The ambitious go dig for gold. The smart businessman sells shovels to the gold prospectors. The clever ones write self-help books for all the failed gold prospectors.

Because markets need some degree of freedom to set prices to be efficient.

The problem now is there is no downward price pressure from competition and transparency. Market controls are an extreme solution which will likely have unintended negative consequences.

> These are very small evaluation sets for deep learning.

Evaluation is a statistics question, and it doesn't matter that the deep learning model used is high capacity and needs a lot of training data.

There's nothing inherently wrong with validating a complex model on a small amount of data.

The paper has a section 4.2 that gives a statistical analysis. Granted, it'd be nicer if they had enough data to show statistically significant differences.
I doubt that they didn't weigh the personal effects pouch accurate to within 1 gram beforehand, so whatever they brought, it was within the specified weight allowance.

Why learn Rust over C++?
The positives are both are pretty similar but the usecase is different.

Gatsby probably isn't the right choice if you have a lot of pages (e.g. ecommerce site) as it has to render each page down to HTML during the build - so everytime you make a change, you have to rebuild all those files which could take a substantial amount of time. But if you were just building a few landing pages or a blog that required good SEO then Gatsby would be fine.

Next.js renders serverside on the fly and has good SEO.

There are a few websites where you can order your own tests. You pay for it online, a doctor automatically authorizes the test and then you go to a Lab corp office and get your blood drawn.

In my own opinion, the keyboard on my XPS is unsatisfying and the trackpad is average. I'm considering trying a different model sometime soon because of it. Also, the 4k screen is too many pixels for the cpu to keep up with and if I downscale the display resolution, the ui is noticeably smoother. Maybe newer models are better?

It works great with linux though, very happy with that part.
100% agree to strongly disagree :)
Publicly available pricing won't solve it all,as it can't be always easy to define how much a treatment would cost without actually doing it,however it would benefit a lot to ensure better prices.There must be a very strong lobbying programme going on against it if they are considering changing the law.

I had the privilege of getting to know John Wheeler late in his career. He was a wonderful man with a wonderful joker's sense of humor, in addition to having a wonderful sort of OCD for an academic (a significant portion of the library in the Physics department at Princeton was dedicated to holding a copy of every book and article and proceeding referenced anywhere in the mighty book that is Misner Thorne and Wheeler, all carefully filed and categorized and organized by John Wheeler).
I'm also not equipped to understand that paper, but my find tool is equipped to say the words "decidable", "undecidable", and "decidability" are not present.
About 6months ago we had to leave now v1 because of bad TTFB times compared to Heroku (me in Europe and server in USA east - now gave 800-900ms TTFB with massive variance > 2s vs Heroku constant 250ms TTFB). We left because of those bad TTFB times and an unresponsive support from my point of view, once they left slack in favour of spectrum [1, 2] it was impossible to get a response. I had left some detailed tests. (Spectrum is hosted on now I think which has currently a 2s TTFB for me in Spain).

I really wanted to use now because the developer experience is so great but the TTFB made itunusable for us to host customer facing services and lack of support response made it hard to stay.

> The advantage of hydrocarbon fuel is that it is basically instantly fillable (no charging), doesn't decrease in capacity (or minimally I suppose), and energy density.

That first property can be mimicked by batteries without too much trouble. Just standardize them and make them swappable at the fill-up station, like propane tanks. There are financing complications with this (who owns the batteries, etc.), but it's do-able and it's already been tested by at least one now-failed start-up.
> From there you don't need to look far to realize that the brain is really all there is.

By and large, we agree. But to be a little pedantic... the brain isn't the whole story. "Muscle memory" is what happens when your peripheral nervous system learns -- without practice, most people can't throw a ball with equal skill in both hands. The nervous system in our gut is vast, complex, and poorly understood. It seems like this shouldn't be significant in cognition and memory... but the enteric nervous system may play a critical role in mental health.
