I think this is pretty much for occupying legal departments with benign work. At least in some European countries with strong legal lobbies, they are very welcome to do that. It is also sometimes used to advance shady trademarks that can only succeed in contrast to applications like this.

What factors do you have in mind, and how do they relate to the goal of the trade wars?
There’s nothing wrong inferently wrong with MBSs. They are a little complicated, but then again, so are lots of things. The problem that occured in 07-08 were two-fold: corrupt/lazy rating agencies and a lack of understanding about the long-tail correlation between mortgages. The copulas banks were using to join the probability density functions of the mortgages were incorrect and spit out much lower levels of correlation than was accurate.

In reality, MBSs are a truly beautiful idea that have a lot of potential to help a lot of people. The banks just needed to have better risk management and I think a lot of lessons have been learned. Despite what the public thinks, banks, especially Goldman, (one of the only institutions to not get hit very much by the collapse) take risk management very seriously. And the guys that didn’t have gone out of business (i.e Lehman).

And you’re right, this is the expected (good) outcome. Learn some lessons and start selling a useful product again gaining some wisdom. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm a total amateur but I could not stop watching some games at this year's Sinquefield cup.

So maybe it's boring for the players, but still fun to watch. Anand's games were super exciting.

That's curious. I'd read the Register article before it was posted here and there were comments to that effect - did you too read it before it was posted on HN?

Their writing style is intended to be a bit tabloid in its reading, sure, but i've always figured that's to make otherwise dry reading a bit more engaging. The sum of their analysis is essentially on point. Their cousin, The Inquirer, by contrast is probably less 'exaggerative' as you put, it but is painful to wade through.

As I say - it's a love it or loathe it rag but I don't see them as being overly negative, except where due. I suppose the tone does encourage armchair critics in the comments sections, but then their comments section is second only to HN, I feel, for worthwhile input from people who Know Their Shit.
Hey, can you ‘do the UX’ for us?
extremist? Really? And especially to the level of comparing it with a literal terrorist organization. The hard right has its genuinely extremist, white supremacist and nationalist elements but to claim that a conservative affinity makes a site like this into an extremist page is absurdly self-righteous and hypocritical even. Might as well say the same about Huffpo or NPR. No? I never understood how leftist and heavily "progressive" ideas automatically get a free pass as being fundamentally correct even when they have a long history of friendliness towards very violent extremes of their own spectrum but even moderate conservatism is right on the creaking edge of being declared extreme no matter what.
> Which would you rather have? A wealthy society with inequality or a poor society without inequality?

Is a powerful false dichotomy argued by the rich. It is NOT a poor society, but people fear they would be less rich, when 99% of them won't be if you add in the societal benefits.

Just having good education is going to make your country wealthier in a generation.

I'm going to plug a project I'm working on because I'd love help, and it's for good causes!

It's called OneFiftyOne and I'm trying to build a software for volunteer managers. I have a lot of experience mostly as a volunteer but also as a manager, and I've found that the industry-standard tools rarely extend more than WhatsApp and a Google sheet called "volunteers".

The landing page is at https://www.onefiftyone.run and a general overview I wrote is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MSGSEsGjqlKRSGo8r5eX7_bs...

If anyone is interested in testing the system out or even helping, I'm a single-developer working nights and weekends looking to get things rolling!

Using bahn.de as a first search for trans-european trips. For more details then head to seat61.com
There is so many good things to say about seat61.com . First it is of course an invaluable source of information for any train travel (I used it again this summer for a night train trip from Budapest to Bucarest). But it is also one of these few web site that still retain this "end of the 90's" look and feel. And more important than the "look" is the "feel" : behind this web site there is no huge corporation trying to steal your data and sell you stuff, but one man that is really passionate about train travel, sharing his passion and trying to help as many people as he can.
Site seems to be down at the moment (HN kiss of death I presume) but there is a donation section that is well hidden. And guess what : donations are not for "the man in seat61", but for helping people in Syria (or it was two months ago when I visited this section). I suggest anyone that has found this site helpful to at least visit this section.
We aren't planning to control global population. We aren't anywhere near the changes required to make a difference to climate change. The powers that be are still promoting mass migration in order to increase the size of the global economy and further enrich themselves. The global system still is still founded on the idea of never-ending, compounded GDP growth.

Solution? Either some of the aforementioned changes, else Geoengineering, else a drastic unplanned attentuation in global population.
I can’t be the only one disappointed in this. Making cars at scale up to modern standards is really hard. Making great software is also really hard. I have serious doubts as to whether a company that does the former can have the culture, management practices, etc. to execute really well on the latter.

The fact that Apple shut down its car division suggests there may have been some issues going the other way.

I wish they’d have moved towards standardizing APIs and “controllers” throughout the automotive world and just encouraged after-market infotainment systems to fill the functionality gap. I just really don’t like that Infotainment ends up having to be a complicating factor in buying a car. It’s hard enough to pick one out that ticks all the functional boxes and feels nice to drive. But then suddenly you get cars that feel great, but neglected the interface design or had a slow UI and suddenly they’ve ruined it.
This is very clever. But I think you would benefit from testing it with real users. I spend a minute clicking around and nothing seemed to work - then I noticed the low contrast text telling me to configure things.

So I configured them and it still didn't work. Turns out the "lock" setting was now hidden and I had to scroll down.

Once I got that done, it worked very well.

I have been using LanguageClient-neovim[0]. It is great, the main difference I have observed between LanguageClient-neovim and coc.vim is that LanguageClient-neovim provides a more vim centered UX (e.g. it automatically populates location/quickfix list with errors, warnings and hints which enables quickly jumping between error locations) while coc.vim provides a great out-of-the box experience but feels like VSCode strapped to nvim (It has its own extension ecosystem based on VSCode extensions) - I greatly appreciate the effort by coc.vim's developer, he has done great work and coc.vim defiantly has its advantages[1] over LanguageClient-neovim. LanguageClient-neovim requires a lot of customization in order to fit it to your work flow but once it is done, the experience feels a lot more native. On the topic of which, LanguageClient-neovim feels lighter and faster to me and has the added advantage of being usable without any external dependencies (because it is a compiled binary). I highly recommend checking it out.

tl;dr:

coc.vim is for those looking for a VSCode like experience out of nvim (stuff works out of the box requiring minimal customization, installing plugins to get the required functionality) where LanguageClient-neovim is for those who prefer a vim centric approach (extremely minimal, manually customizing everything to get it to fit you workflow).

If you are interested in LanguageClient-neovim you can checkout my config[2][3] you might find it helpful .

The important thing to remember about China is its population. If China achieves even some degree of "first world" status, it's inevitable that it will dominate on aggregate statistics simply because it has over 1.2 billion people.

Personally as long as China doesn't become truly belligerent I don't think it matters all that much. I'm more interested in America forging ahead than what China is doing. Focus on one's competitors / enemies distracts from focus on the future.
Trademarks allow dictionary words. Windows, Apple, Uber... These are dictionary words. Usually trademarks only disallow dictionary words if the business being trademarked is too generically described by that word. For example, a window cleaner called Windows or a produce seller called Apple; that's not allowed.

The point of a trademark is to be distinctive. Unlike copyright, there's no requirement for a trademark to be creative or original. I don't care to find the details of what Facebook is trying to trademark, but it may well be the case that "book" is a valid trademark.
What do you mean too specific? How can you reasonably track the price of something less specific than a product?
Thanks, this is a good argument!

Let me just completely dismiss your "evolution is a good optimizer" - it's a decent optimizer, but some things are just impossible for it to achieve (as I said above, local vs global search). That's why humans are so dominant - e.g. we started using tools and eventually figured out that steel is harder than most other natural materials (and thus more useful as a weapon).

Otherwise, I think your point about fitness of crops is a good one - crops are fundamentally not easy to grow, if they were, we wouldn't be an agricultural society, we'd just be "picking and gathering" fruit, seeds, grain etc. that would naturally grow in forests, etc. but that's unrealistic, we have to put a lot of effort into sustaining crop production.

I oppose Roundup-ready and vitamin enhanced crops on other grounds; is Roundup residual really so safe? If it's so safe and GMO foods are so much cheaper and better, why the lack of transparency? It's not like we lack food in the West, so no need to enhance it with vitamins, and we should probably be finding ways to use less pesticides, not more and deadlier. (Different situation in the third world, I think GMOs can be genuinely helpful there, if risks can be minimized.)

But the one I actually had in mind is when crops are modified to express pesticides using genes that originate from bacteria (looks like Cowpea is an example [0]). Personally, I also see that as the kind of GMO with most potential (again, if risks are minimized), though you might be right that it's actually the minority of current use (why?), and the above arguments about crops being hard to grow still holds (unless genes can "jump" to a different species, though AFAIK that's only really possible in bacteria.)

Mind you, I'm not totally opposed to GMOs. I think they great when used in pharma (in controlled environment with controlled products).

> a consumer, a physical thing inherently has more value than a digital one because it keeps the value after I buy it. I can lend the book to someone legally after I'm done with it. I can sell it, trade it, or donate to a library.

For me this was true ten years ago.

The tides have shifted. Now a physical copy means: it will degrade faster than my devices (think books for children). It will take physical place, we’ll have to find it (I can ping my iPad, not my books). Depending on the country it’s printed, it might not even come to my life, the price will be double, or it will be 3 weeks after the moment I wanted to read it. It wi be in a single place, I can’t share it with my family or even my devices the way I share my amazon account. There’s a physical limit to how many I can keep: floors cracking under the load is a thing of the past.

It’d need a very compelling reason to buy any physical book at this point. I get the tradeoffs, but I had enough time with digital copies to make them work under the best conditions for me, making the upside way higher than the downsides.

Ugh, Eclipse is disgusting. IntelliJ is much better, and also has a very nice VIM-mode plugin(last time I checked Eclipse one's were bad), so, I prefer having it both ways. Comments mocking vim(like the original parent) are really missing it badly, nothing has so much staying power for no reason.

With climate change stalking in the background, I really think it's too early to say whose century - whether China's or anyone else's - this will be.
The problem with fiat currencies is that there is just a little too much temptation to print a truckload when there are "emergencies". This often causes hyperinflation or massive inequality leading to the rise of populism and democratic backsliding.

In the part that I quoted “power”, I believe, stands for economical strength. How can it be useful or at all correct to count economical strength of, say, Kazakhstan (as another example) as part of Russia’s stats, if the former is developing and trading independently?

That’s why I object to article’s angle: it uses “China” to refer to an aggregate in one case (lumping ROC and PRC together), and to PRC in another case (quoting their president and intentions to dominate global economy).

Counting ROC in PRC’s favor serves to tip the numbers and make article’s premise seem more compelling, but since PRC and ROC are separate economies the premise is false. It almost makes it look like a major business publication is playing a political game.

These banks have been at it awhile. They've spun off 'rating' companies to check these mortgage packages, private not their internal departments. They've used those companies to run their custom models against fannie mae packages (gs against fannie mae i'm 100% of was witness to), with out that other knowing, and other banks. Whatever is going on, they've been prepping to make sure it happens with high velocity.

Common sense is not a strong suit of this administration.
While in principle I don’t ever believe in bailouts of any kind, not bailing out the banks would have led to an apocalyptic situation probably worse than the Great Depression. Sometimes those in power have a responsibility to the people instead of some idealistic morality.

It’s not just a matter of having people. The main reason we care about the worker/retiree ratio is that workers generate a surplus that can be used to take care of retirees. To the extent that immigrants and their kids are able to quickly join the middle class that pays the taxes that supports retirees, then immigration helps. But that same fact limits how much you can rely on immigration to address lack of internal population growth.

(That’s why European efforts to combat their lack of population growth will fail. The US, by contrast, is far better at assimilating immigrants into the middle class and will be relatively more successful.)
The answer is yes and I always point to the Financial Crisis of 33 AD in Rome which was mainly caused by a mass issuance of unsecured loans by the Roman banking house.[1]

Some of the major reasons why financial recessions happen are: abnormal leveraging, liquidity mismatches, wars, taxes, subsidies, governance.

That she understands the value of waiting to have a bigger reward in the future? I don’t know.

This criticism makes no sense. If you always want an Array-like object, just always use querySelectorAll. If you don't then don't. Why is it bad that the DOM gives you a choice instead of giving you a pseudo-array that sometimes acts like an element and sometimes not? The DOM more clearly separates NodeList from Element than JQuery, and that's good! I agree that not having forEach by default was a mistake, but it's long since been solved.
> To create NPR's basket, we consulted the lists from 2018 of tariffs the White House imposed on imports from China, but also Mexico and Canada — as well as China's retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-made products.

The products were picked not to represent an average shopping cart at Walmart (because we already do that and it’s called the CPI), but to specifically target items which they thought would be hardest hit by tariffs.

It’s an entirely unscientific report showing price changes at a single store with an artificial basket of goods with no attempt whatsoever to control for independent variables. In short, it tells us nothing at best, and is misinformation at worst. It’s hard to tell if the effort was even done in good faith.

Then again, TFA’s first sentence is “Shoppers beware.” Maybe that tells us all we need to know. I am actually a bit surprised that first sentence made it to print.

My Dad worked as a pipe fitter (welder) for a union in the '80s. Pay was $25/hr and there were some benefits, primarily a pension, but also some health insurance and other things. He worked overtime and double time Sundays at various jobs. Phrases like "6-10s" or "7-12s" were common in our household. His best year he (officially) earned $35,000 which was like 1987. But he also made a lot of extra cash on the side, so I really don't know how much he made that year or any other year in total and neither does anyone else. There were always broken dump trucks, plow blades, bulldozer blades, and tons of other items sitting in our yard that he would repair.

The article itself is bs. It feels more like a hit piece against the trades. How would someone who can't motivate himself to even finish his Associate's degree be any better off going to a 4 year college? Isn't this story anectdotal? There are plenty of welders making decent money, probably six figures and beyond, but they have to hustle to do it. As much as I want to think my Dad was a great guy, I know he wasn't that great at plotting a career path for himself. We did "ok" but were definitely lower middle class. We never went on a truly decent vacation, everything was very budget. But we had fun. I saw a side of life more raw, more real, than what most people experience. I have done better myself and for my own family, but I have a lot of respect for blue collar guys and just for "regular folk." I think there's too many socialist city people with big ideas in this country and their meddling just needs to end.
