Good point; after posting I wished I'd said "...cash welfare", because of course in-kind transfers of goods and services would be immune to any amount of inflation.

Indexing the UBI amount to some basket-of-subsistence-consumption could likely address this concern.

(The handling of existing-conditions is a regulatory issue orthogonal from UBI. I'd prefer a UBI replace all "income-supporting" programs – including things like food stamps and housing vouchers – and also obviate many rules premised on the idea that the threat-of-privation captures people in bad jobs/relationships. But "structure-of-market" or "acceptable offerings" or "required minimum standards" regulations are a separate matter.)

Which part of the Wikipedia page you linked to refutes the article? If anything, the figures in the Wikipedia page corroborate the article.

For example, this one shows net worth broken down by age range. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U.S._Income_and_Net_Wor...

You can see that the median net worth of households below 35 gained a paltry 4% in net worth, while the 35-65 cohort gained 2-6x times that. If you look at the mean net worth, it's even more skewed.
I fully agree with you. This insane attitude of "my ill-gotten capital is worth more than your existence" is pathetic and sad.

I was thinking more in terms of a full-fledged API SaaS platform that have business logic and data-schemas/storage.

It comes w/ an admin and you just pick and choose what you need, for example:

/emails
etc ...

It'd be neat to see a community-driven marketplace to boot, for all types of solutions.

> A chip can't bin faster than its slowest core. Getting 28 cores that run at top speed is almost impossible

Of note here is that Intel tried to identify which cores on a die could run fastest so that low thread count workloads could use only the best cores on the chip, but the software side was a disaster and they have pretty much given up on the concept.

> AMD also sells the same chip to both consumer and server, so they can take the best of the best and ship them to servers.

They may also be sending the most efficient chiplets to the server parts that have so many chiplets on each package, while keeping some of the fastest chiplets for the consumer parts. There's really not much precedent in recent generations for having one piece of silicon span such a wide range of products.

What are you eating, and how are you comparing it? If you're trying to treat a salad as a meat replacement, well, it's not going to do all that well. But there's a lot of meals designed to be complete without meat that might work for you, as long as you're not expecting them to taste like beef.

Vegans and vegetarians aren't as much of the target market for these products as you think.

The market for these products is really omnivores who enjoy meat yet would prefer it to be made without the animal suffering and ecological footprint of meat if such a thing were available. You're never going to get the sort of market share these companies are looking for with only vegans and vegetarians - there simply isn't enough of them.

The vegetarian-curious also really don't need people bullying them about their food choices, that's unnecessary

> I hated vegan and vegetarian food ... it was always the meat replacements like veggie patties and tofurkey type products that turned me away... weird mystery replacement I find on almost every vegan or veggie dish

Completely unfair characterization of "vegan and vegetarian food." I've been a (western) vegetarian for close to two decades and commercial meat replacements are not an have never been a large part of my diet. I eat them MAYBE a few times a year, pretty much exclusively at cookouts.

That being said, that seems to have changed with the Impossible Whopper - that tastes pretty good and has a nice texture, I can see myself ordering that again.

Hi! I write firmware professionally and this looks pretty amazing. I've already signed up to play with the tool and submitted a demo request :)

That being said, the thing I'm most interested in here is how to integrate Memfault with my codebase, and that's the only thing I can't figure out! Your docs pages are quite pretty, but don't include the interesting bits! Clicking thought into the demo doesn't really help.

Any chance you'd consider publishing that to the site?
Yes same in Sweden. I mean I’m sure upstate New York is equally freezing occasionally, but if heat pumps work in Northern Finland/Sweden one would think few places would be “too cold”.

What we do have in Sweden is cheap renewable electricity so choosing heat pump over oil/gas doesn’t just mean electric it means renewable over fossil too.
Data science and machine learning.
This is great! You hit the need for configless docsites that many Pythonistas who are in data science and research have: we write a lot of experimental and prototype code. Docstring documentation in itself feels like a considerable investment in these contexts so anything that helps publication without any hassle is more than welcome.

Full disclaimer: Info coming from a variety of sources: some documentaries which I know have their own inaccuracies, some my own personal experience in food service, and specifically working at McDonalds, and some having an ex-girlfriend of 3 years who was the district manager of another international large fast food burger chain, so by chance that gleaned me a lot of insight into the inner workings of fast food burger chains (he was previously a DM of several Golden Arches)

I haven't read this page recently (it certainly has changed much), but on skimming through, none of the terminology McDonalds uses on their website are meaningful in the sense that the standards there is no official definition and could not be distinguished between similar competitors that make similar claims besides simply what they say, and, more importantly, there is no regulated term between what constitutes beef being “pure” or “not pure” or otherwise put. It’s just some “thing” they say about their beef and we have to take them up on their word. Now if they said “we use USDA organic ground beef” that might have some teeth. It’s the same thing between a bag of candy telling you they no longer use artificial flavors and now use “natural” flavors.

Now the question of do I believe they have changed? Possibly. Do the burgers taste different? No, so common sense tells me you don’t drastically change your process like this and still get the same tasting burger from 20 years ago.

But I will actually do something uncommon here and admit I could be wrong, and have an outdated understanding of their process.
> vegans will never be able to get the protein they need to survive

There are millions of vegans around the world who can "survive" without meat: they just get their protein from other places.
I honestly don’t think there can be any argument there. Plant-based meat substitutes have been around for a long time, are emphatically not “lab grown meat”, and I have never heard anybody refer to them as such. That’s a distinct category which has also been receiving a lot of attention in the past few years.

There have been studies. Here is one done by the University of Michigan (I believe specifically about Beyond, since they commissioned the research or something like that). http://css.umich.edu/publication/beyond-meats-beyond-burger-...

It's been a while, but I remember findings signalling something like 30% less emissions?
> On the other hand, billions to trillions of dollars of wealth that everyone thought existed turned out not to be there. It didn't disappear; it was discovered in the financial crisis that it never existed and the crisis was when that fact became uncontroversial in the mind of the general money manager.

> That part was clearly predictable in an emperor-has-no-clothes fashion and probably years in advance as well. It seems highly likely that if the people with power didn't see it shaping up then they were choosing not to see.

I don't think it was predictable in any useful sense. First, I don't think anyone knew that (or when) "the general money manager" would "become aware of the facts". Second, I don't think anyone knew that would happen if they became aware of the facts.

So maybe it was predictable in a "there will definitely be a recession...sometime" sense, but that's not helpful.

Even if some people did identify "billions to trillions of missing wealth" and predict the crisis (and apparently some people did), there wasn't any way to know which of those predictions was correct. There is no one who predicts things who is always right and there is no agreed-upon theory to tell us when these things are going to happen before they happen with any precision.

To put it another way: there are smart people who predict financial crises that never happen all the time.

> I suppose the point I want to make is that there is a frame here that 'saving Lehman' would have been a win. It wouldn't be a win. They were complicit in mis-allocating resources; 'saving' them just gives them more time to redirect real effort into bad causes, and makes the final reckoning more painful when people need to call on real resources that turn out not to be there. The books were misleading; protecting them would just have let more people make bad decisions based on misleading figures. Markets work best when people don't do that, and I understate by an order of magnitude or two when I say that.

This is a different argument. I guess there are two things to worry about:

1. Making the responsible parties pay for their malfeasance (justice)

2. Making decisions that will benefit the economy (pragmatism)

It's entirely possible that bailouts ticked the second box but not the first. But, as you argue, in the long run, not bailing out the lenders might tick both boxes because it will teach them a lesson. However, that's a hard sell for Americans living between 2008 and 2012, who probably did benefit from the bailouts, even if they were unjust and even those bailouts only deferred some larger, inevitable crisis.

I don't envy the people who have to make these decisions.

Healthy food is incredibly difficult to source on the go.

You are of course, right to be angry.

There is evidence for suggesting that the anonymisation apple uses is quite good. Unlike with alexa, siri recording I don't think have been used in court cases. This means that apple are fairly sure that they can't recover people's recording, on pain of contempt of court.

Why is that important? because it means that its most likely GDPR compliant. If you are an EU citizen, I fully recommend you doing a subject access request, to see what data they hold on you. You are within your rights to have that data deleted, or amended. Or if you so wish, none of your details to be ever processed again.

Now, sadly for the USA, your protections are frankly shite. I suspect you'll have to lobby your local politicians.

A little off-topic, but as someone who's just started producing documentation in Sphinx, what are the problems/downsides that you've run in to?

I've used it for two projects so far: documenting a relatively small python module, and for documenting a RESTful API. I do a lot of embedded work, so I'd like to use it as a place to document a piece of hardware in it's entirety, from schematics/layouts to firmware and build toolchains to actual use of the device. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any comments on that use case?

I think my main complaint at the moment is that it doesn't play nice with Markdown, so I had to re-format a bunch of pre-existing documentation for it to work in Sphinx. ReST seems to render alright in Gitlab though, so that's a plus.
It's used as a metric for the probably that someone will repay their debts; a metric used by those who are making financial decisions based on whether or not someone will do that.
This is by definition impossible to do without changing the behaviour of the code being 'anti-fuzzed'. This therefore risks introducing bugs which are then much harder to fix, and complicates debugging of issues in the original code which may show up in production.

Note that whether or not that behaviour happens to be undefined in the source language is irrelevant. Undefined behaviour still tends to manifest in a few recognisable ways, which this would then obfuscate.

While an interesting academic exercise, this has negative value to the software industry. I bet it'll still see a lot of use though.

Reminds me a bit of people trying to 'fix' errors with an empty `catch` block...

Classical information is 'collapsed' quantum information, so that would mean that classical information is never lost either.

There appear to be multiple solutions for Navier-Stokes; i.e. somewhat chaotic.

If white holes are on the other side of black holes, Hawking radiation would not account for the entirety of the collected energy/information. Is our visible universe within a white hole? Is everything that's ever been embedded in the sidewall of a black hole shredder?

Maybe even recordings of dinosaurs walking; or is that lemurs walking in reverse?

I'm sorry but I don't understand the argument you're making, or why you think contributing to universal health care would mean you care about your neighbours child more than they do. Bad things can and do happen to people no matter how "responsibly" (according to who?) they live. Maybe you are suggesting only the wealthy should have children?
I don't think there's any reason for an economy where people save responsibly to be stagnant. That's the error central bankers make. It's sort of like saying if you're not constantly taking ecstasy then your life is stagnant and boring - it might seem like that to someone coming down from an unsustainable lifestyle, but to people who aren't constantly on stimulants life seems just fine and not stagnant at all.

That is, if you judge an economy purely on the basis of "how much stuff is getting done" without caring about what that stuff is, or whether it's actually useful, then yes confiscating savings and making it impossible to actually keep stable money anywhere (which is actually called "economic stimulus"), well, it will appear to make your economy more dynamic. If you start taking into account economic stability though, well, the highs and lows of boom/bust QE-driven economics don't look so great.

So there's really no such thing as saving too much. How much to save is a very personal decision. If you over-save it means lost opportunities, unless you deliberately want to pass your wealth onto your children. But if you save too little, the results can be catastrophic unless the government bails you out, which creates the massive moral hazard that wrecks our global economy today.
Hey!

The company is just me and I'm not trying to land huge customers. Therefore I need no marketing or customer support team. I'm building it for myself and other small businesses. I think I can make that sustainable. I also have no interest in being acquired so you won't have to worry about that either :).
for now I expect you're correct. But in the long run it should ideally have really nice margins. Once Beyond and Impossible get a version that is as close as it needs to be, they can start focusing on supply chain and stuff like that.

Ironically that documentary made me question whether CA were the so-called bad guys in the whole thing.

- Brittany Kaiser genuinely seemed conflicted a lot of the time

- Nobody ever provided an inkling of proof for the alleged 5,000 data points - all here-say

- MUCH of what Alex Nix alleged in those hidden cams could easily have been interpreted as "selling it" to land the deal (in my opinion)

Overall, people are way to easily baited into the circle-of-drama-vilification process - that pink haired dude was shady as heck IMO (what was his history, background, motives - etc). Nobody seemed to be questioning the guys making the accusations.

Most natural gas in the US is transported via pipeline. The US has over 2.5 million miles of natural gas pipelines.
The government can, via eminent domain. This is how private railroads in the US were financed in the 1800s. The companies paid for land at pre-development prices via eminent domain, then built the railroad, then sold the much-improved land at higher prices. Basically, the land appreciation covered the capital costs, and fares only covered the operating costs. Japan and Hong Kong still use this strategy, and the new private railways in the US are attempting to do it as well. (Virgin Trains and Texas Central)

Sweetmeat and coconut meat are both not animal muscle, while fish, which is animal muscle, is not meat. Distinctions like 'meat' and 'milk' (and pretty much any culinary term) take on meaning according to our conventions and dietary norms, and if plant-based meat grows to fit the same dietary niche as animal meat, people will call them the same thing.
The UK plug is only better if you assume 100% perfect implementation, and 100% accurate use.

If you insert it wrongly in certain power strips, you can directly insert metal objects. And many manufacturers implement british plugs incorrectly, with full-metal prongs, leading to possible electrocution risks.

The Schuko plug is much safer in such situations — even if the manufacturer fucks up as much as they can, it still will ensure it’s impossible to touch the prongs as soon as they’re inserted.
