CBP officers are some of the biggest idiots, it seems, not even knowing their own field let alone anything else about the world. I was once asked why my passport didn't have the stamp when returning from Europe. First, it did have a stamp but the idiot officer flipped over that page multiple times before giving up and asking if I have another passport. I told him I did but I did not use it on this trip. He proceeded to tell me that dual citizenship is illegal and told me to get rid of the second passport. Thankfully he did not force his idiotic, wrong position on me. Of course, I told him I would. If course I did not follow his stupid, incorrect demand. These are the types of morons our country puts on the front lines of our defense and as the first impression for foreigners. It's no wonder most of the world hates us although that hate mainly stems from much worse issues. It's ridiculous to hire such idiots in these positions.
> Rent seeking is by definition unproductive economic behavior.

While I am inclined to agree with you, I do see benefits to the renting model. Basically any thing in the cloud is paying towards "rent seeking" model and it has enough benefits for many people that its worthwhile.
Just once I'd like to see a balanced study on automation that:

* Properly takes into account jobs created by technology as well as destroyed.

* Properly takes into account jobs destroyed by austerity (e.g. government budget cuts).

* Doesn't conflate outsourcing with automation - e.g. statistically pretending that because a job no longer exists in the US, that it doesn't exist at all or (worse), as the ball state university study did, literally (and probably deliberately) mixing cost savings from automation and cost savings from outsourcing.

Instead all we get is the steady drumbeat of that old investor pipe dream - the idea that employees are an unnecessary expense that will soon be dispensed with as soon as we find a deep learning model thats sophisticated enough and studies like the ball state U one that argue that the investor pipedream is coming true at the same time as (weirdly) showing their political affiliations by arguing for lower corporation taxes.

At the same time the investor automation hysteria has been good for my wages, so... maybe I should just shut up.
But the media ARE the enemy of the people. The corporate-controlled media has shown itself to be biased, more interested in clicks, profits, and sensationalism than it is about truth and liberty. The media has become a corporate unto itself, and can no longer be trusted.

From your derogatory reply, I can expect that the new policy on SO is to not lock duplicate questions, then, seeing as how it's a forum for conversation, instead of a Q&A platform.
Cool read. I was recently wondering how this worked. I was using zsh but I assume the implementation is similar.
Memory is a relative new thing, eh? Before we started civilization (about 12k years ago) was there much adaptive pressure to have accurate memories of one's personal history?

Nice content marketing piece and guide for an SEO beginner but I stopped reading here:

> all with a 95% SEO acquisition strategy

That's so wrong. Free organic traffic is great. But if you rely fully on organic traffic, it rather shows that your LTV is not bigger than your CAC and if Google or competition kills your search traffic, your business is done and/or you can't scale when your mighty SEO doesn't work anymore.
If everyone believes a recession is coming, they stop spending, causing a recession.

On the flipside, the economy can be stimulated merely by sentiment; if everything thinks things will get better, they invest and spend.

The concept is similar to the 'animal spirits' that Keynes spoke of.
Unfortunately, you didn’t check whether you opinion had any basis in fact prior to sharing it. That is part of the problem. At least you are willing to acknowledge it, but most aren’t. So here we are.
Actually, some investors do want a recession. You start by taking a hedge position that pays off massively in a downturn, and then try to bring it about by spreading doom and gloom.

No investor is big enough to cause a recession all by themselves. Or maybe some sovereign funds are, but they play by rules that don't allow manipulation. But when enough large investors think a recession might be coming, and they all take short positions and try to bring it about, it is more likely to happen.

Trump strategy #1.
That's a fair point - I had taken it as a specific political targeting as opposed to part of the whole "the press is the enemy of the people" line of rhetoric. On the other hand, anyone pushing that line probably approves of Fox News, Washington Times, etc. - how would this CBP person have known to let such a person through? I guess maybe with some response back from the individual of "Naw, I work for Fox News - we fight the liberal propaganda!"
Until humanity is operating at its full economic potential, then money will continue to have time value, for it can be invested to increase economic potential. And if you think that humanity is operating at a fraction of its economic potential, even just given today's technologies, well, take a look at the world. The current state of sub-Saharan Africa comes to mind as an obvious counterexample.

"The exhaustion of growth" is political rhetoric meant to excuse anti-growth policy environments which actively suffocate growth by destroying incentives for growth and misallocating resources away from growth.
Perhaps I'm missing it here but I don't see the issue of lack of mobility as the reason. These were not terribly mobile societies, only the wealthiest could afford to travel long distances.

Exactly that. I'm so happy I convinced my manager to let me rollout 1Password company wide. My problems with LastPass were the clunky web UI and the lack of control I had even for enterprise accounts. I wasn't able to do a password reset for a new team member who pasted the wrong password and couldn't login anymore later on. The email address was not usable afterwards anymore. Costs for us were the same, so it wasn't that hard to convince people after they saw the demo.
Depending on the fund, there may in fact be another option: more risky assets. As noted in the article:

> In the meantime, pension funds have been coping by buying up riskier assets. The Dutch, ranked with Denmark as the world’s best performing pension providers by Mercer, have complained to the European Central Bank about the fallout on the industry.

And this is where things start to go off script pretty quickly.
This exact same thing happened to me at a party. There is a very odd amount of belief around SW8 in terms of equality and rights. It doesn't really make a lot of sense; and feels similar to the way people think The Babadook is somehow related to coming out of the closet.
European pensions may be well run but they are hugely under exposed to venture and tech overall so I'm skeptical of them crying wolf about the tech industry when they have so little exposure to it.
This isn't an article about pensions and retirement savings. It's an article about financial indicators, which pension funds, with their enormous amounts of funds under management, have a unique perspective on. Most of your comment isn't responsive to this article at all.
The thing about adopting the ASCII Art pseudo arrow is that it bakes in an assumption that the dash character lines up vertically with the point on the angle bracket character. This simply isn't the case in plenty of fonts. So it often looks like crap if you pay attention.

Your "burned in" MAC address doesn't have to be the MAC it tells other systems in ARP replies, which is pretty much the only way a remote system can find out your MAC (essentially, by asking). It also doesn't have to be the MAC it checks when receiving incoming Ethernet frames.

Most uses of MAC spoofing are for privacy; so that entities that collect every MAC they see over a wireless connection aren't able to track your location.
That depends quite a bit on your sampling. Anything touched by Murdoch should be avoided, that takes care of a large chunk of the problem.

The optional rewards program that happens to use a distributed ledger for settlement?

Lets see how that sounds when it is rephrased

“I refuse to use an airline with a rewards program attached to it”

“I refuse to use a credit card with a rewards program attached to it”

But since nobody says that, you lose your mind when a blockchain based one is used? Which is also as entirely optional as the above programs? Which you use as an ad hominem attack to add non-sequiturs to any contribution under the “Brave” brand such as this ZK VPN system which doesn't even use the digital currency? Fascinating, lets revisit this “taboo” next year to see!

The developers I work with that are in other teams have figured out how to do CI/CD with the provided tools that come with AWS and GCP. Throw in Gitlab and Github doing their own CI/CD integrations, I don't know if there's a niche left for you to go after.
As a DevOps person, CI/CD is not rocket science, its pretty straightforward concept that doesn't take long to set up and works automatically afterwards.
I don't recall dreaming much at all. Once every few months, maybe (I'm sure I'm dreaming, I just have no memory of it. When I do have a memory of a dream, it's the same as any other memory (just a thing that I know "happened").

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a visual component to dreaming though, even for those of us that can't generally visualize things. Dreaming is a very different regime for your brain, where it is _actually_ engaging the bits that get engaged when you're awake and doing things, it just suppresses the actual motor output.

Social science in the age of trump: a syllabus
Are American pension funds particularly exposed to venture? My understanding of this industry comes almost entirely from the Kauffman report, which I'm sure is very dated, but that understanding is that venture as an asset class is just a small slice, and invested in primarily because of asset manager requirements to look for un-correlated assets.

If that were true, that wouldn't be an argument that a collapse in tech wouldn't be a systemic failure, because of course all sorts of other actors are connected to tech.
Well, if the “middleman is providing no benefit”, then why would you want the government to force policies that don’t allow Disney to own its own streaming service and force it to deliver its content through other companies - ie middlemen.

But, you are still avoiding the central question. If you want to have the government force Disney to use middlemen because you think it’s unfair for them to be both the producer and the distributor, why single out movie producers and not software makers, authors, producers or even physical good makers? Should Apple also not be able to have Apple stores and be forced to only sale products through “middlemen who bring no real benefit at all”?
Question would be: what would be a solid and reliable alternative that is also affordable by regular people?

And defines this to mean double-first-cousins and closer (perhaps this is standard). Also, as far as I could skim, this is the prevalence today, rather than an estimate of long-run prevalence.

(also in relation to your other response w. details) This is very, very promising! I'm so glad to hear XMPP is alive and kicking; I'll definitely explore these packages of yours. Thanks for the work and for sharing.

It's been about a decade since I had the oh-so-common billion-dollar idea (read: extremely costly but nowhere near profitable) of "hey, how about we used private servers/clients in peer to peer to communicate? Like MSN and descendants but without a central server?" I think me and the 100,000 others with the same idea felt the challenge of improving XMPP + working on conversion from existing platforms was too tall an order.

Now, if guys like you have been/are improving XMPP 'enough', then I can see a path for the open ecosystem to grow anew. And that, provided alternatives like Matrix etc. provide a path for data (API, URLs etc), is just what we need to massively disrupt the basic communication space.

Really, thanks. Spark re-ignited for social apps and a new social paradigm fitting our times.
I meant for example in Russia. The reason they aren't bickering much about pronouns there is because gays are happy to survive a parade at all.

I'm going to not argue that all Slavic people are homophobic (that would be completely impossible to back up with facts). A more reasonable claim would be perhaps that people in Slavic countries today are more homophobic on average than e.g. an OECD or EU average. Not sure if such surveys exist, however - so that would have to be a guess and subjective at this point.

E.g.: "The worst countries to be gay" (Italy + Eastern europe)

Debt forgiveness might be more palatable if it is accompanied by changes to the system that allowed an unsustainable amount of debt to be generated in the first place.
I think that blaming capitalist/greed/finance for environmental problems is just masturbatory. Companies dont burn forests, pollute, drill and mine just because shareholders fund it fun. They do it because there is demand for what they produce, and the people who buy the final products are happy to do so(with a clear conscience, because after all - its the companies that the polluting, not me!).

In this diagram, VPN1 is what I'm calling the "internal non-exit VPN": https://keybase.pub/mirimir/VBox-Two-VPNs.png

It's not as much "non-exit" as Tor middle relays. Because it just connects to the VPN2 server using OpenVPN over standard TCP/IP. Instead of some proprietary protocol. But at least it's locked down with pf rules, so that it can only connect to the VPN2 server.

The diagram shows a nested chain with just two VPNs. But you can add more layers. As I recall, as many as six or so. Latency goes up, and MTU goes down. But throughput doesn't crash as much as you might think. I don't know why. But maybe it's caching.

So basically, you have a NAT chain locally in VirtualBox or whatever. And each NAT router includes a remote VPN server.

In order to share it, you'd need to open a port for incoming OpenVPN connections. Either locally, or forwarded to one or more VPN servers. And then you could route traffic through another VPN server in the chain.
How much do they offer?

I've seen estimates that over its lifetime an EV purchased in America saves society about $20,000. Though at least one component of that will be higher in Norway as their grid is so clean that it'll be even better on health impacts.

I'm not sure that a society continuously voting for sane, reality-based economic policies over a few decades is different from "normal people jumping on board the electric train" if that's where they end up. Who else should they "blame" for this sensible and rational policy if not themselves?
ooh, gonna find that out later.
This reminds of the .COM era when a lot of "experts" were calling for people to "keep believing" so things could keep going. The financial system should be based on hard facts and not sentiment. If the situation was stable then negative news shouldn't have much of an effect since the fundamentals are solid.
Ok, if you are going to claim a distinction, I think its fair to ask where the distinction lies. Whats so good about renting cloud infrastructure from renting an apartment?

(Apartments don't com with the same level of vendor lock in.)
Car infrastructure (parking lots, streets) and buffers to make being around car infrastructure less horrible (useless "green space" buffers which can be much wider than the road itself, medians, front lawns so you're set back from the road, et c.) are a big part of why it's so hard to get anywhere without a car.

I was skeptical but I've run the numbers and sure enough, once you also factor in the time I spend working to pay for my car & gas I'd save quite a bit of time commuting by bike if my city could be squished closer together by removing most of the car-only stuff (gotta still have a few arteries for goods and for when you need to travel further, but you could cut out like 90%, easy—parking lots are so big, out in the 'burbs). IOW widespread private car ownership actually makes my life worse than if they were outlawed, effectively, and I'm not in the city core.

[EDIT] and my family buys cheapish cars and we make way over the median household income for our city—the math's way worse for most people here than it is for me.
On the contrary. This is all about the 'solvability' demands on pension funds, which are driven to a large degree by computations involving future yields, which in turn depend on interest rates and other market indicators. The trends has been - for years - that the combined elements of demographic time bombs and historically low yields spell out that pension funds will likely not be able to fulfill their obligations.

So if you are going to depend on one of these for your future sustenance you need to re-do your homework or you may end up with a real problem in old age.
Collective fear feeds a recession or depression. Banking panics are real and speculation of a prolonged recession of course deepens and lengthens it. FDR (in his 1933 inaugural address) certainly believed this to be true: "nothing to fear but fear itself."
If an investor (say, a pension fund) holds treasuries, then this has the effect of redistributing money from taxpayers (via interest payments) to pensioners (via treasury yields). Where does the destruction come in?
Looks great! Thanks for the hard work Streamlit team. Our team started using Dash recently for an ML project and quickly got lost in callback hell and switched back to a notebook.

The thing with HN and other forums which utilize an upvote/downvote feature, is that it will always devolve into using downvote as a way to disagree with a post, or to discourage certain opinions, then coming up with justification for the downvote only after being called out on it.

I've accepted this inevitability, but that doesn't mean my opinion on issues will change, the best you can do is to ignore your karma when it comes to controversial topics or don't bother posting on them at all.
