From Friday's jobs report:

KEY POINTS
Nonfarm payrolls rose 224,000 in June, well above market expectations of 165,000, according to the Labor Department.

The unemployment rate edged higher to 3.7% but was still near 50-year lows.

Wage growth was 3.1% year over year, one-tenth of a point below market expectations.

Professional and business services led the job gains with 51,000, while health care added 35,000 and transportation and warehousing contributed another 24,000. Construction also added 21,000 and manufacturing, despite teetering on contraction recently, saw another 17,000 jobs added, above the 8,000 per month average in 2019 and getting closer to the 22,000 a month in 2018.

Ever heard of locking in profits? Most investors have. And also telling them that the stock market is likely to collapse is going to make them lock in profits.
But sometimes imports and exports do have 'winners' and 'losers'. For example, there are well documented cases of 'China shock'[0].

Even if you might posit an ecomony-level gain, distributional effects means many may lose. By itself, saying 'not zero-sum' is not an answer for those policy issues but a slogan.

Most people would just say "sandwich" unless the spread is somehow critical to the tale. I know it's a quote, but it sounds most odd to me as most people I know don't really brand drop in conversation. Coke is probably the big exception there...

Ah, the call of the sea...

In my late teens I took a course in French in the city of Royan, on France's Atlantic coast. A couple of my classmates were from the US, and they invited me over to where they were living.

It was a small sailboat moored in the harbor. The couple had essentially spent a decade working and saving, buying this boat, and having it shipped over to Europe. They'd spent some month sailing around, coastal seas and canals, and decided to learn French in Royan.

This was the first inkling that life could be more than a 9-5 grind, saving for retirement, before "life" began. This couple showed that you could alter that balance, that there are options, and your dreams are within reach if you are flexible.

I wish I had been more diligent in keeping in touch with these people.
A latency hit is not a prime concern for retail builds of AAA games. Cache coherency can be done to a very fine-grained degree in a AAA asset pipeline when a few developers are pointed entirely at that optimization problem, since most game scenes are mostly static or have "canned" dynamic elements that can be kept in static pools(e.g. up to 12 NPCs at a time). As such, a substantial part of inner loop processing will take place in cache: what's really at stake when discussing memory performance for games is how the architecture hides latency in its caching implementation, and how that interacts with existing software, since the software in most cases is making an effort to present favorable scenarios with a limited worse-case. Games tend to bottleneck not on the memory, but on single-core performance, since there's a ton of synchronization logic in the game loop that gets in the way of distributing the processing load across all cores, and this has historically been where the Core chips have had big wins over Zen.

For heavily dynamic applications like editing tools where the user is free to shape the data as they please and the worst case is much worse, latency becomes a much bigger issue.
About 1km as the fiber goes. It’s easy to see why we are an early install. High income area, relatively dense free standing houses, all aerial poles. It doesn’t really get any easier than that so the telco can say “we have gigabit fiber in xyz”. Well, a small percent of xyz, but they don’t have to mention that.

I mean more as a generalization. But as a counter point, we do have AC now. We are better at getting access to clean water. I wouldn't say things are short lived, since the trend has been going on for thousands of years. There's definitely been some bumps in the road (some pretty big ones), but usually they are local and short (in the grand scheme of things).
Yes but. If you take “cash” or “money” out of it, do you still agree with your own argument? What if you said “lots of things would be less valuable if nobody could cooperate to build anything”?

Again, arguing in good faith.

This sounds weird. When CNBC broke the story a month back, I'd :

1. gone around deleting every invoice from my GMail inbox

2. Noticed it wasn't getting removed after waiting for 24 hours.

3. Reached out to the reporter mentioning google might be not deleting it properly.

4. Waiting a couple more days and calling off the alarm when google did finally delete it.

I wrote about it at https://captnemo.in/blog/2019/06/01/cleaning-google-purchase.... My purchase history still shows 0 results, more than a month after my cleaning spree.

3 weeks still sounds too long for this information to linger around.

I forgot to mention that loop requires a lot of mutation, which sort of sucks in scheme world where you can use multi-shot continuations and ruin the fun. There are loop implementations for racket (which produce decent code and all that), but they are rarely used.
Normally I'm happy to answer questions like this. But when you repeat the very provocation that I just asked you twice to omit from your HN comments, my trust in your good faith diminishes.

It's unfortunately common for some users to question HN moderation as a way of challenging the mods to political or ideological duels. Our experience with that is that no matter how patiently one answers, every answer is met with a fresh flurry of litigious questions, because the purpose is not to learn but to fight. This is risky for us—it amounts to a DoS attack on the site, quickly exhausting our time and energy, stealing resources from other users and from work we might do to improve HN for everybody.

I'd be delighted to be wrong, but your comment seems to signal that you don't want to use HN as intended, which includes respecting the way it is currently moderated. So first I need a reason to believe that you actually do want that, and then I'll be happy to answer whatever you like.

> Did some textbook publisher take "losing" out of all their spelling books 15 years ago? I see it misspelled more often than spelled correctly these days.

I blame the emphasis on phonics over memorization, since “losing” has the “o” pronounced in a way more typical of “oo” and phonetically differs from “loosing” only in having a hard rather than soft “s”.

Funny corollaries because Monopoly is a zero-sum game (at the end there will be a ordering of players by relative wealth, and their absolute wealth ceases to matter): players should be trying to 1) trade as much as possible, even if some trades are slightly slanted against them, 2) spread their trades evenly amongst the other players, and 3) to actively discourage trades between other players.

You might as well give both players who trade a trade point, and award the victory to the player who has the most at the end.

Summary: this technology is in a class of its own, as it supports non-destructive reads with hours of non-volatility, while potentially using 100x less energy than DRAM. Read/write operations under lab conditions are (still) really slow (10ms/1s resp), on a 10μm cell.

Agree with this. Part of boating is upkeep, which is never ending.

If you like working with your hands, that upkeep can be therapeutic. But otherwise it can be drudgery. The ongoing cost, and effort, of upkeep has taken many enthusiastic boaters as eventual casualties of the pursuit.
Well what is hyped up on hackernews might see the inside of corporate office in maybe another 10 years time.
Japan's use of automation is an interesting point. On a site like Hacker News where articles about automation replacing human labor with machines can be found daily, as well as articles about the effects of overpopulation on the Earth, it's surprising to hear anyone argue that a high quality of life can only be sustained by exponential population growth. The existence of counterexamples like Japan calls that assumption into question.

Hal Finney. Hal was a quiet, unassuming fellow who you had to get to know before you discovered he was incredibly smart.

Hal could never attend class, flip through a textbook on an unfamiliar subject, and then ace the final exam at Caltech. What would take me a solid 3 months of work.

The Satoshi thing is just the kind of prank Hal would have done.
Doh, of course. Not sure what I was thinking.
I'm not sure the plane loads of passengers killed would agree with your professional opinion of design competence.

Edited to add: the rudder design was "new" to the industry, in that it had a single control surface activated by a single control mechanism with no redundancy (sound familiar?). The rudder control valve in question had been found to malfunction on 747-200's earlier and was replaced in the entire 747 fleet. The 737's were not replaced until after more fatalities.

The point of all this is that there are "incompetence" narratives that can be woven around all major design issues in commercial aircraft. To say "I'll ever fly one" displays a lack of understanding of what makes commercial aviation the safest way to travel, and what the risks actually are.

People have been saying that there will be a "crisis" next year for the past 1000 years. The truth is nobody can reliably predict economic downturns like this. If we could, they would not happen.

I have to agree. The media and everyone is taking his bait and giving him undue attention. Nobody thinks Craig is Satoshi. Nobody!

Everyone says resealable bags. I've never even heard the word ziploc. In New Zealand.
This is a great strength of the Debian installer—which is not to say it's unique, it's just the installer I'm familiar with. You can do essentially anything you need to do in a (nearly-)hands-free installer, which is great when you want to image a whole programming department's machines with a fresh version of Debian. (at $DAYJOB we even do truly awful things like building oldoldoldstable chroots during the install process :wink:)
A hierarchy is a group structure. You could even call this a coalition game.

We can also say that everyone provides a positive value to the group. We can also say that certain people in certain positions provide more value to a coalition. None of this is zero sum. Someone being placed in a certain position does not require value being taken from elsewhere. This is not required in a hierarchical job structure.

A zero sum game is one in which where one player gains value that results in another player losing value. Coalition-al games are games where members form groups.
None of those markets are really zero-sum. People value different things in all of those markets (jobs etc). Zero-sum is an edge case.
Second-hand Aeron. Hands down.

That's just plain wrong. The crash rates of the older 737 don't even approach the 737 MAX, which is an outlier.

That’s why they’re called bubbles. Everything looks great until they burst. And you’ll likely only retroactively see why.
Crop harvest is a clear example of a case where we DON’T need more immigrants: countries like Australia have no problem executing the obviously-better-in-the-long-term strategy of improving agricultural production with automation alone. The amount of land we dedicate to farming does not increase significantly over time. Furthermore, we do not currently have a shortage of relatively unskilled homegrown labor. If a few especially-labor-intensive crops become unviable, so be it; some business models lost viability when we ended slavery, too.

In contrast, high-skill immigration to Silicon Valley has been a crucial contributor to American tech dominance over the last several decades. (Though I wonder how much of this is the negative effect of brain-draining top talent from potential competitors... well, I guess we now have a natural experiment where China is no longer being effectively drained.)

There was a tongue in cheek but interesting comment from a Central Banker in Ireland last week that:

"The chance of a next recession is 100 percent."

I think that it makes a lot of sense that people think about that. So many underlying issues are happening in the markets at the moment. My biggest fear is that Democracy in Western countries might not come out well after another one.
IANASE (I am not a sand expert)

It would appear that desert sand is not ideal for construction purposes, at least historical. [1] I also googled "dessert sand construction" and found a Wikipedia article on land reclamation in Singapore. [2] Apparently Singapore is also using artificial barriers polders (same as or similar to dikes) to reclaim land, which I didn't see mentioned in the above article. [3]

Satoshi's real name is Keyser Söze.
There are various people speculating on the economic significance of this solution, which, to me, is rather missing the point. It's like measuring the significance of the excavation of Tutankhamen's† tomb by the tourist revenues of museums. The point of economics is that it keeps us alive so we can do math and also think in other ways; the point of consciousness is not to make money.

I don't think there is any economic significance. They found a closed-form formula, not a manufacturing process. They verified that it produces numerically correct results to 12 significant figures, but typical lens grinding is only accurate to about 100 nm; if your lens is 10 mm thick, that's an error in the 5th significant figure of any coordinate. Calculating a numerical solution to the Wasserman–Wolf problem to 5 significant figures is straightforward, and you could probably do it by hand if you didn't have a computer (although that would involve significant economic cost). In fact, it's not that hard to calculate it to 14 significant figures. The achievement is finding a closed-form solution rather than an iterative numerical approximation.

† Or Tutankhaten, as we used to call him.
Can't recommend this option enough. I got a Steelcase Leap V2 from a used office furniture dealer for $200 or so after negotiating a bit. For another $50 or $75 they would have replaced the fabric as well but it didn't need it as it was in really good condition. They had Aerons and other chairs too but I liked the Leap better.
cljfx is actually inspired on fn-fx, and presents a much cleaner and more usable api, just by comparing the docs. I'm pretty sold on data-based apis instead of macro-based ones, though, so maybe it's just catering towards my preferred style of development.
We're going to see such things at some point, there are a few "bitcoin address collider", some of them are even distributed.
To me, the damning evidence is that Craig Wright tried to trick people into thinking he signed something with Satoshi's key when it turned out it was merely clever digital sleight of hand. Losing the key is possible, but employing a trick like that is a big warning sign that you're fake.
I've always thought learning entirely by example would be possible and might have speed advantages for quick learners. I'd like to see this method explored more.

Good quality office chairs bought second is definitely the way to go - they are built solidly and well so they are usually in great condition.

I have a Hermann Miller Mirra 2, bought from https://studiomodern.co.uk in the UK. The Aeron is a 'design classic', so hasn't been iterated upon much. The Mirra has benefited from the experience though.

Also expect to spend a little time setting it up to start with, and then tweaking it until it's just right.
I have good experience for two similar sized (even larger) institutes where I simply put a minimalistic issue tracker (Redmond, Trac, OTRS) behind an E-Mail Gateway. Since email is still dominant in the traditional world of academia, sticking to an address support@institute.example.com is a no brainer.

Having said that, my recommendation would go with OTRS.
Also worth pointing out that height recommendations are just a guideline and two people who are the same height might fit differently in the same chair. I’m the same height as you but I’m all leg. The larger Aeron fit me better.

Note that "build" doesn't mean they built a physical telescope, they came up with lense shapes.

There are some serious problems when building large telescope lenses; if they get too heavy, they start to deform under their own weight, and non-spherical shapes are hard and expensive to produce.

It would be awesome if this analytical solution inspired improvement in real applications, but I'm cautions about that.
Sand is not sand. Sand from the dessert is usually very smooth due to environmental factors and therefore not suitable for construction or land development because it will not be as solid tighten together as more rough sand.
That's the paradox behind the fact that states surrounded by dessert in the middle east import sand to be able to build their scyscrapers. And that's also the reason why sand is a limited resource and for people stealing sand in the pacific area.
