The "hyper" part of hyperinflation often comes about through information cascades in the populace itself, not through anything the government does. If a critical mass of the population believes that money will be worth less tomorrow than it is today, they will change their behavior to get rid of all their money now rather than risking it becoming worthless tomorrow. This shows up as an increase in the velocity of money, the number of times a given dollar turns over. The money supply equation is MV = PQ (money supply * velocity of money = average price level * quantity of goods sold), so if V goes up while M and Q remain constant, P has to go up too. This pushes inflation expectations up even further, which causes further increases in the velocity of money, which creates a runaway feedback loop. That's how you get hyperinflation.
Companies work by dividing all tasks into smaller tasks and parceling them up among the employees, aiming to specialise to knowledge of individual workers.

'Engineer' can mean a couple of different things depending on culture & context, including I think a 'person who works on engines'. However, professional engineers are technical decision makers.

A good engineer will think through a project from start to finish, anticipate all the decisions that will come up, and make them. Not obvious trivial decisions like 'does the bolt need tightening' but the big picture ones like 'is this standard acceptable?', 'is this trade off acceptable?'.

Big companies separate engineering from programming. Small companies will not have the resources, so the roles will be combined. Adding a dependency, changing an API and choosing major data structures are all engineering decisions. Deciding how comprehensive the testing framework needs to be. Maybe some algorithm choices.

Typing Python code is not engineering. Implementing some well established algorithm like Quicksort is not engineering. Doing something using an API because someone told you to is not engineering. Writing a unit testing is probably not engineering. Move-fast-and-break-things is not engineering, although it does seem to work very well.

There is overlap. I don't see why someone who is making big picture decisions shouldn't call themselves an engineer. Being regulated and certified is only mandatory if the government says it is.

This is quite literally a non-problem. Next-gen plants will happily burn this waste, but even without them, I don't think you realize how little of that waste is generated per gigawatt hour - on the order of 150 grams. It's dangerous, sure (just like a lot of other chemical waste we produce on industrial scale), but we know how to store it well, and there's so little of it. If you reprocess the waste (take out the parts that can be used again as fuel), you end up with a nasty chemical sludge with half-life on the order of only 40 years, which is not that much. Storing that waste over centuries is a difficult problem, but is a really nice problem to have compared to making the planet uninhabitable and/or shutting down civilization.
Yeah, probably depends a lot on where. I'm just a sysadmin, the difference in pay between here in silicon valley and the cheaper parts of the US for my labor are extremely dramatic. I mean, it's dramatic for better educated programmers, too, but not nearly as much as it is for me with no degree and a less prestigious title.

I know a bunch of people who worked at lockheed around here, and, like you'd get literal MIT rocket scientists with security clearances making... dramatically less than me, even though I have one of the lower paid technical roles you can find at the FAANG companies.

Absolutely, and because everything is done so that they either don't understand it, or quickly forget it. Change Twitter's send button to "I want everyone, including my enemies, the government, journalists and my mother to read this" ... and you'll pretty much kill Twitter.

The ignorant make up the majority. We can't educate everybody about machine learning to the required degree where they can make an informed decision about it. The same goes for financial instruments or law. Instead, we just outlaw the most egregious transgressions ("no, it said on page 277 of the contract that we get all the money he'll ever make in return for this bicycle") and base what's allowed on what a reasonable person would expect.

The opposite, for me. My logical distanced reasoning tells me to go far away to a country where I know no one, see how it is like to live there, find new friends and colleagues and maybe live there.

Whilst my feelings / intuition? about this makes me anxious and I'd rather stay at home, in "safety".

Am I wrong or do USA have an extreme discrepancy between government spending and tax revenue? Isn't it strange that the American Government is spending 38% of gdp, but only collecting 27% of gdp in taxes?

Compare Japan with USA

Japan tax pressure: 35.9%.

USA tax pressure: 27.1%

Japan gov spending: 38.9%

USA gov spending: 38.0%

As you can see to a naive person it might look like Japan has a much bigger government than USA, but they are actually very similar.

While the article was focused on the Raptor engine, it shows how great an engine the RS-25 of the space shuttle was. It was crazy expensive, but as the shuttle was reused, one could justify the cost. The sad thing is, this engine will be used in the SLS - with no reuse what so ever. If anything describes the insanity of the SLS system, then this. They are flying the most expensive rocket engine ever in fully disposable mode. Even worse. After ending the shuttle program, the engines were of course preserved, so at least the first SLS flights are going to waste the origininal shuttle engines.

I have to say I'm not an expert on the DEC OSes, so I won't pretend to know the exact timeline, but the PDP-6 was not a very popular machine, only 23 or so sold. So I would assume it's really PDP-10 TOPS-10 that was the inspiration. OS/8 itself is from 1971 according to wikipedia, but its predecessor is PS/8. And that same article mentions how the interface was patterned after TOPS-10.

> One thing I don't understand is why political leaders aren't all over this?

The incentives are just not there within the current system. When was the environment a major topic in an election anywhere? It's always pitted against "the economy" despite being part of the economy.

Add to that there's no immediate visible benefits. A political term is a few years. If the climate stays liveable for a few years, nobody is going to notice.

Plus most countries are small. It doesn't matter if France or the UK go totally green. What's needed is international influence so that everyone goes green. Who is going to run on a platform of "We'll go green, and I'll convince the rest of the world as well"?

It is much easier to frame climate change as a made up political issue than to actually try to do anything about it.

It boggles the mind that our one hope is an authoritarian state run by engineers.
I think the actual power of political leaders is overstated. In many countries, the political system seems de-facto paralyzed, ineffective, and incapable of pushing the drastic changes required.
I too have these headphones. I don't really know what the frequent firmware updates do, or if they are necessary.

I can understand why the mechanism for firmware updates exists, but this constant updating of every single thing is insane. Bluetooth headphones aren't even exposed/connected to the internet.
So the article contends that software doesn't play critical role in society. Apparently the author doesnt know that most power plants, nuclear or even hydroelectric are run by software, not to mention a few small things like medical equipment. Oh and airplanes use sofware too.... wait software is in almost all critical engineering projects.

Maybe the author should do more research.

Indeed, the heat pump is a significant investment. My point, however, is that you can start addressing 75-80% of CO2 emissions before you get to that point.

Also software powers your phone and more importantly the autocorrect feature.
In the instance of these headphones, the app allows you to adjust the level of active noise cancellation as well as choose which sources can send audio to the headphones. Neither of which are set up to be done directly via the device.
They are more expensive to buy and set up but should save money in operating costs. So just offering special loans for heat pumps (low interest) could give them a huge boost.

I see that you maybe skimmed it a little too fast.

It is because software plays a critical role in society that it needs to be done by engineers; but it largely isn't, and it shows.

The app doesn't do anything in Color Soundlink models that you can't do with the buttons. I couldn't even set the bass/treble so I erased it. It's quite useless.
You couldn't physically fit those controls onto a pair of headphones. There's simple stuff like the level of noise cancellation, but also language settings for the voice prompts and saved profiles for different paired devices.

The Bose app is relatively simple as headphone apps go. Nuro and Even offer headphones with custom DSP profiles to match your hearing and the Audeze Mobius has spatial audio with motion tracking. It's simply not possible to implement features like that without some kind of companion app.

Nobody should. At least not blindly. You should check what updates are and who made them. On every update.

Anything else is irresponsible and your own god damn fault when things go wrong.

npm is a proprietary package-repo and has nothing to do with how open source works. You can also easily publish proprietary packages using npm.

Just out of curiosity, what options are there for businesses just starting out with little assets to offer as collateral? Are there banks taking a sort of “venture style” approach to opening lines of credit where they offer them to businesses whom they think have a high probability of success (and therefore paying the loans)? In this case, the lender would be assessing the strength of the business they lend to similarly to a venture capitalist. And if this is not already available on the market, do you think it would be appealing to startups?
This itself should be a red flag. If they heavily push something for a task that clearly has no reason to require that something then it’s probably fishy.

Same scenario about PayPal offering that I receive receipts in Messenger or Deliveroo offering WhatsApp notifications.
Does it stop being an engineering practice because a vast number of practitioners are incompetent, and fail to practice engineering rigorously?

Or is it rather the case that it is an engineering discipline with frighteningly little done to train, apprentice, vet, and self-regulate its practitioners?

Is it the nature of the work or the workers that define engineering? I'd argue the former, every time.

As for 'the public good', that sounds like a convenient definition to make a point, but didn't seem like an actual boundary one can set, beyond perhaps the common bindings of engineering ethics blatantly missing in the software world.
I’m curious what you suggest... how things ought to work in your mind.

Yes, even though my company was (sold my shares, it still is I think) profitable and wildly successful for the region, we needed a million euro from the bank to cover staff costs. Money comes in slower than it goes out in our business, but we had reputable clients so the bank had no issue providing a line of credit against signed contracts and sent invoices.

It was easier (and better imho) than getting an investor. Bank did not meddle in our business, just took interest (if we could pay it; it compounded for 3 years if I remember correctly).
Nah, culture doesn't get far in a fixed technological landscape. People pass on new folk songs and dresses, but you don't get a Reformation without printing press. You don't break out of feudalism without firearms. You don't get a sexual revolution without countless of other technologies and economical transformations that enabled lots of people to live in dense population centers, above sustenance levels and with enough free time. You won't get long-term stewardship of Earth without technologies that enable us to meet our needs without destroying it.

I wondered about this at one point. I'd been under full propofol sleep a couple of times due to knee operations, and the experience was quite interesting.

You fall out of consciousness insanely fast. One moment you're talking to the anaesthetist about your name, what you're there for. You feel a cool sensation where the needle is. Before it's grown to your whole arm, you've vanished. I mean you're not dreaming, you're gone.

The only way you know you were gone is that there's no sensation of time. When you sleep, you feel like there's time. Under propofol I felt like my arm was cold, then I was groggy and waking up. In one action.

Maybe it's like dying, I don't know. But there's definitely this "system was rebooted" sensation as you come back to consciousness.

I’m not sure whether you consider this evidence, but here’s the second paragraph from the Wikipedia article on “SJW”. You can follow the reference links from there.

The phrase originated in the late 20th century as a neutral or positive term for people engaged in social justice activism.[1] In 2011, when the term first appeared on Twitter, it changed from a primarily positive term to an overwhelmingly negative one

As for your overall point, for an argument to be sound, its propositions have to be true and the logic has to valid. Even if the poster was right about the origin of the term, they failed to support their conclusion; namely that we should stop using the term SJW. Their conclusion wouldn’t follow from their premises even if they were true because the argument is fallacious (genetic fallacy, as I said).

As it happens, they were both factually and logically incorrect, and they papered over the flaws in their reasoning with manipulative rhetoric. To my mind, that’s exactly the sort of discourse that should be called out as harmful to reasonable conversation.

A different view is perhaps that there is a system between the individual and the rest of society - there is a line where a person is clearly not of sound mind so cannot be taken advantage of, but then there is another area where the person is of sound mind but it is not in society's interest to allow them to be taken advantage of.

I often find that when (right wing) people say they want to push regulation back they sort of mean the point of "individual sound mind" but we as a society all benefit more when exploitation is prevented in that other grey area of "what benefits us all"

That grey area not only includes preventing usury but immunisation and education and sewage plants.
