Mother of All Forks
With China US tensions growing and Chinese developers fearing GitHub restrictions, what could be the implication the other way. What if all contributions to GitHub from China were withdrawn/stopped. Is this the mother of all forks?
There's no better way to get a recession than to have everyone acting like there is going to be a recession. Yield inversion indicates the market is starting to think there is going to be one.
Incredible. Basically a "smart house" powered by water, well over a century ago. Gives inspiration that, despite the current cesspool that is the Internet of S$$$, over long enough timespans some of the better inventions (dishwashers, lighting, vacuum cleaners) will stop being "home automation" and just become "home".

There's no reason to bring racism into it. This isn't about West vs East, it's about democracy vs fascism. If it were really as banal as us-vs-them, China would have every right to fight in whatever ways they have to. That's why their government is pushing this exact narrative on its own people. We aren't (or shouldn't be) trying to keep China the society down. We're trying to cripple history's most powerful fascist regime.

Short-term trading signals are frequently arb'ed away.

But long-term structural patterns take far more capital to arbitrage and your position can be deep under water for years at a time.

Yeah, folks, don't do this.

Some drugs are relatively benign to quit cold turkey (a sizable percentage of people may run into irritating side effects like nausea, etc) but it won't kill you.

Other drugs like benzos can be fatal to quit without tapering. And other classes can induce serious side effects even when properly tapering, let alone quitting cold-turkey (e.g. hallucinations, psychosis, insomnia, etc etc).
Turkey took at least 3 mln people with the same population as Germany and nobody admires what they did. Syria itself took 1.2 mln of refugees from Iraq, nobody cared. Palestine refugees in Lebanon, Afghanistan refugees in Iran. Whole Middle East is filled with refugees from different regions. All these cases could've been prevented if so called democratic nations hold their governments accountable, there were no "climate" in wars that caused these movements. Just rational people in power with no repercussions for their actions.
People have no control over what happens in their cities, but believe they have any power to fight in a global scale with climate change. A major can't handle a city where he/she lives. Now scale it to the "world government" mentioned before, which would be physically located thousands kilometers from places which it would govern.

Yes. It costs less than $1-3 for a month or week of 'service' with a maximum of typically 3-5 minutes per attack, you can pay with PayPal, you can pay with Runescape gold or Roblox/Fortnite/game of the month currency, sign in to a (typically really badly made novice PHP-based) panel, often behind Cloudflare free plan themselves, and enter an IP/hostname and click the button.

These typically use PHP scripts/perl scripts/whatever and fork off in the background to do some mix of sshing into some machines legitimately purchased or with stolen cards at crappy "offshore" providers that allow spoofing or otherwise to launch reflected DNS/NTP attacks, hitting upstream APIs that do the same (as a reseller of attacks), hitting uploaded webshells to do `fsockopen('udp://'...` on a ton of cheap shared hosting machines or hacked sites, usually old PHP CMS type stuff.

Comes complete with fake "terms of service" like how it's only meant to be used for legal testing of your own servers, but in practice that's effectively there as a joke.

This signal is typically only indicative in the United States, as the Fed doesn't officially factor it into the decision making process. Other central banks consider it, so it does not seem to have the same predictive power.

The treasury market reflects demand for 'risk-free' securities, which functionally serve as bank accounts for corporate entities without access to bank reserves on the Fed's balance sheet. When market participants expect rate cuts in the future, long term assets with a locked in yield become more attractive to hold relative to short tenors, as the short dated treasuries need to be rolled more frequently.

Additionally, it may be that the curve inversion itself causes greater expense in short term funding (e.g. overnight), leading to potential contractions in economic activity.

I find it odd that no language seems to have a syntax short-cut (like operators) for something as common as switches; the closest thing might be a shell script!

This is a very common thing to write. Why couldn’t a switch avoid all keywords and look more like a list...such as:

?(value):
- 0: { doThing(); }
- 1: { otherThing(); }
- *: { doDefault(); }

That's kind of semantics. Sure, the Staatssicherheitsdienst in East Germany didn't see literally everything (I'm sure they would have, but the technology for widespread cameras just wasn't there - they did have about a quarter million people on payroll, though), but the people were constantly under surveillance.

I don't have any numbers on that, but for the average surfer that doesn't actively block tracking, they'll likely be tracked by FB or Google on > 50% of pages they visit. If you're mostly googling and chatting on Facebook, that easily sails past 90%, if you're on more niche content that is anti big-tech/adtech/surveillance, it's very low.
From what I've seen, other TLDs (.co, .io, .ai etc.) are perfectly acceptable nowadays, but more for informational or marketing sites. If the user is going to be spending a lot of time on your site for actual day-to-day usage, I'd still suggest .com.
Apple has equally gotten a lot of pushback for the adblocker. Safari's approach is clearly inferior and has a lot of the same problems - compared to uBlock Origin. When Apple blocked alternative approaches, everyone here on hackernews was suspecting its because Apple's move into the ad business.
I think no one applauded Apple for trying to control what ads can be blocked. I strongly suspect that Safari is much more vulnerable to tracking and anti-ad-blocker scripts. Certainly if they come from Apple.
I don't use it for that reason.
So no, this is not a distinction.

That statement is valid in both contexts you mention. You do not need properties for data mapping and serialization - it’s possible to write a good OO code without getters and setters.
Someone please correct me if I have misunderstood anything here, but having a better rate for a bond that matures after 3 months, than for one that matures after 10 years, is definitely a bit odd.
I went TKL a few years back and have the same feelings as you. I also switched to a Magic Trackpad 2 -- which has been somewhat life changing (to some extent.)

The funniest thing about MacOS window managers is that a lot of them can't do three windows stacked (not in the i3 sense) on the left side with one window on the right. This is what ultimately lead me to chunkwm. Prior to that I was using BetterTouchTool with zones.

Consider however the variant I proposed (picture 2 result). Would that be penalty according to GDPR and if photo is already public and not used for personal identification ?

Perhaps it could be said that the any algorithm that makes person identifiable is problematic. However, random photo of you doesn't identify you AFAIK and porn star names are also made up, so you are connecting 2 non-identifying things and the end result most also be non-id ?
Just did the math: 1 Euro/week = $1.12 U.S./week
4 x $1.12 = $4.48/month
Apple News+ = $9.99/month
So, for an additional $5.51/month ($1.38/week = 1.23 Euro/week), you get full access to over 250 other magazines and a number of newspapers.

For context, this has happened before, prior to recessions, as shown here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=mtiz

However, this is the first time this kind of yield inversion has occurred right after the Fed announced plans to stop reducing its balance sheet, which grew to unprecedented levels in response to the financial crisis. You can see the enormous impact that the Fed's balance sheet growth had on the monetary base here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=lIdk

Until recently, the Fed had been reducing its balance sheet by up to $54B/month; it announced plans to stop.[a][b] How and to what degree has this impacted yields?

As additional context, consider that the yield inversion has occurred during a rise in import tariffs, trading restrictions, and public threats between the US and China (and now Mexico too). So far, the economic impact of these trading spats on the US economy has been small.[c] Could the recent yield inversion be caused more by a global flight to safety. in conjunction to the Fed's actions, than the actual risk of a US recession?

Is it even possible to answer these questions with certainty? I'd be leery of any predictions for the US economy based solely on this recent inversion of the yield curve.

This isn't necessarily true. There are demonstrable, persistent calendar effects that can be reliably traded. Such trading can be thought of as a service being provided to market participants for a fee (e.g. balance sheet as a service).

One thing to note is that not all TLD will perform the same in email filters.

Especially when it comes to companies with strict email privileges, any TLD that used to be free (ie. .ml) may be filtered out and require a .com mirror. I worked at a startup that realized their emails were being flagged for spam because of the TOD, and it took a while to understand the issue was due to the TLD itself.

It's interesting, as a hobbyist in electronics I tend to see the components I order (inductors, capacitors, etc) as atomic 'units' so watching someone build their own is fascinating. In some ways, it connects what we do abstractly to the concrete reality.

As far as we know, apple has very much not built the decryption tech the govt wants. And we are reasonably sure this is true because of the persistence of vendors selling cracks.

It’s not odd if you think that interest rates will go down in the future. If you believe that then you should buy longer term bonds to lock in the higher rate now.

If you purchase a 3m treasury bill, you will have to roll your capital into another in 3 months. If you expect the Fed to cut rates in the interim, you will receive a lower yield on that bill. The discount on the bill helps compensate for that risk.
So your central thesis is that the only engineers that are product-focused would not want to work for Google because they feel the environment is too political? So what do you make of other companies that are product-focused that also care about “PC” things like diversity?

That's a wrong statement though.

One million people is a single city. You do have a problem if one million people are suddenly relocating. It has happened before for war, natural disasters or other reasons.

Migrating a billion people is not a thing, for the simple fact that there isn't any human settlement any close to approaching a billion people. If you're talking about the scale of a whole continent, migratory flux span over a lifetime and are not homogeneous.
The root issue of credit card bubbles is not that hedge funds and investors may loose on risky investments, but that those same investors are so interconnected with society that society has to bail them out if they end up loosing it all.
Gmail Experiencing Issues
I slightly disagree with using a '.co'. It's to similar to .com & will result in a lot of typos.

If I couldn't afford the .com I would personally reconsider my name. If that's not an option, using a different TLD is fine, especially if it goes well with your name.

If you use another TLD, do research the TLD first. I recall the .io TLD having issues a few years ago. Now many people avoid it or use it as a joke when referring to questionable TLDs. Someone else could probably give better info on how to research who stands behind the TLD & how much you should trust betting a good chunk of your business on it. If not, just look up old news stories on the .io drama.

My argument is that zero-percent down loans will always end badly, because if you don't have the discipline to pull together even a measly 5%, you don't have the discipline required for home-ownership. And it's not like banks can charge payday-loan like rates on a mortgage, because if you can't afford a small down payment you also can't afford high monthly rates.

These types of loans always increase when credit is cheap, and then they end badly (sometimes very badly) when the economy eventually turns.
I recommend taking a look at the reddit link I posted above (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/b30m3g/googles_stadi...). There has been a great deal of conversation already on /r/linux regarding the points you've mentioned.

By the way, you talk as if Linux compatibility is already a given, but there is still a good deal of work to be done in order to reach parity with a similar Microsoft operating environment. Having the support of Google working directly on this will massively increase the pace of open source development. The foundation has been laid, and now we just need the resources to push it through. There is nothing wrong with having companies contribute to development. Much of open source in fact is built on paid full-time employees working. It's unrealistic, in my opinion, to except everything to be done on a volunteer part-time hobby basis.
Withdrawal stories are definitely not overblown; you have to assume good faith and show some empathy to understand that your body and mind function differently from everyone else's. Some analog of the "typical mind fallacy" would apply here.

"You value security and loyalty, because that's what your generation was raised with."

How could you possibly know that much about the person you're responding to? He only state he's "older", but didn't say which country, city, religion etc. Even if he did so, it wouldn't say much.

I know people in their 60s that believe in may things you stated, and others in their 20s who disagree with you about everything you said (and I mean high income young software engineers, not someone in need of state help).

Also, it's just my personal opinion from now on:

Don't reason in such absolute ways, everything is much more complex than "your generation" and "my generation" could possibly convey, and even inside a specific age/region/education/income group, the way people think and act varies wildly (and they are probably all both right and wrong depending on subject).

Don't put so much trust on your adaptability and skillset, you never know how the world will change and how you will react to it. I really hope it will just get better, be you never know. I'm only 39yo and saw quite a few highly skilled people go down because of unexpected physical/mental health issues.

Anyway, please don't take it as me trying to "prove you wrong". Well, as humans we almost always do a little of it, but it seems to em I used to think like you at some point and it brought me quite some pain. Maybe I'm misinterpreting you and am just an idiot, but I felt like writing.

Have a great week!

I didn't say it was a reflection; that was an analogy. Obviously I don't think a bunch of qualified military personnel would be fooled by something that trivial. I think you're reading opposing viewpoints with an agenda. :)

As for pilots' eyeballs- nothing I've read about this clearly states that anyone got close enough to get direct-eye-contact; most mentions of "visual" confirmation are talking about via cameras (and to me, the footage I've seen of it looks precisely like a camera artifact.) Also I wouldn't discount the possibility of a pilot, squinting to see a small distant object that his expensive flight equipment is insisting is there, simply hallucinating- humans are suggestible, and just as vulnerable to "sensor fusion" errors as prototype military hardware.
I suspect that there cannot be effective regulation of any industry without a technological overhaul to money such as moving to cryptocurrency and smart contracts.

Especially now with new technologies coming up all the time, companies will just go around the laws.

Doing something like that is pretty far-fetched and would require a new type of technological government. But to me there is a structural problem with the relationship between money and government (in their current low-tech forms) in society.
