Whether you agree or disagree with the author's position, whether you agree or disagree with the Stack Exchange policies, a reasonable person acting in good faith would change their behaviour when told they are making others feel uncomfortable (unless perhaps they thought the change would make others more uncomfortable which doesn't appear to be the case here). This is pretty much the definition of good faith.

More investment leads to higher asset prices, lower interest rates, business growth and more future production. Investing in capital markets just gets the market to allocate your capital, as opposed to if you built a widget factory yourself instead. The end result is the same (but the market is probably more efficient), more production.
I think I get what you're trying to say, but by definition an observation requires an audience, even if it's an audience of 1. Maybe say an increased audience size?

This is not only happening in the US, but also Western Europe.

>aside from hoarding canned food

That's not true. A lot of non financial assets can last years or even decades:

Cars, houses, renovations, factories, inventory, household supplies (toilet paper, razor blades etc.), clothes, tools, durable goods, washing machines, stoves, furniture, some commodities (processed metals, wood, sand, gravel etc), building materials, public infrastructure, education, some food items (salt, sugar, rice, pasta ...).

If you know that the ratio of workers to consumers is dropping, it might make sense to promote investment in these things before workers become too scarce. Incidentally, low or negative interest rates promotes investment in these things.

Buying these things is a way for people to save and consume at the same time. During a recession, promoting spending in these categories is probably a good way to boost GDP without pushing people to draw down their savings too much. They can instead go from financial savings to physical savings.
How’d you do that move?

The translation is wrong because it makes things unnecessarily complicated. The term Vorführeffekt is used when something suddenly behaves differently in a not desired way when shown to others. The argument about double negation is logically right, yet entirely theoretical, as no sane person would ever describe or translate the effect in such a doubly-negated way to someone else.

Most people don't succeed, so in trying to replicate success, the key must be something non-obvious and counter-intuitive.

So people are always going to look for possibilities that are superficially and obviously terrible approaches, but which look like they might be the secret of success if you squint the right way.

It's not merely that these particular slogans are bad and should be eliminated, it's that the nature of the game leads people to look for and invent such things, and if we all agreed not to ever say these things again, new ones would arise. I don't think there is a general solution.

Why on Earth would propaganda always need to be false? The best lies contain a kernel of truth, after all.

Yes, if you define propaganda as "intentional lies" then the media doesn't put out much of it. But that category also excludes things like "look at our wonderful town of Pripyat, the future of our glorious union!" and other such classic propaganda. (Would you describe a WW2 era poster of a Japanese soldier with a bayonetted baby as propaganda? After all, that kinda happened, and quite a few times) But I fail to see much difference between "news generated with the express purpose of changing people's minds" and "have an agenda and to select from the facts”.

While looking for a way to explain my own aphantasia, I came across the works of Temple Grandin, a poster child of high-functioning autism. Since there is no physiological test for ASD, I believe that the following cognition types may be presented within the general audiences as well, however, they are not treated as outliers as long as their 'owners' have sufficient social skills. Thus, I suggest that you ignore autism/ASD references below:

"I have observed that there are three different specialized autistic/Asperger cognitive types. They are:

1) Visual thinkers such as I, who are often poor at algebra.
2) Verbal specialists who are good at talking and writing but they lack visual skills.
3) Pattern thinkers such as Daniel Tammet, who excel in math and music but may have problems with reading or writing composition." [1]

"<...>Chess masters think not in pictures or words, but are good in recognizing patterns. Pattern thinking is a more abstract form of visual thinking; thoughts are in patterns instead of photo-realistic pictures. Pattern thinkers see patterns and relationships between numbers. Some of the best descriptions are in Daniel Tammet’s book Born on a Blue Day (Tammet 2006) and in Jerry Newport’s book Mozart and the Whale (Newport et al. 2007). The weak areas in pattern thinkers is usually reading and writing composition." [1]

If your goal as a society or whatever is to "build something" having many members who persevere is better. But on an individual basis, it usually isn't, because you'll probably fail. There's a tension between individual rationality and group rationality.

"a reasonable person acting in good faith would change their behaviour when told they are making others feel uncomfortable"

Yes, in yesterday's world this would be sensible. Nowadays being uncomfortable is being weaponized to bully others into submission and this should be fought against.

Being uncomfortable is part of the human existence and anyone should be able to feel uncomfortable and continue to function and continue to work with whoever is making them uncomfortable, unless that person is being downright offensive. Using "they" doesn't qualify, it's not even playing this game.
Just for an example. How about debugging a non trivial issue between a program and a dynamically loaded library.

You can't just scan the IAT/PLT. You are going to have to find load points or manually step through, and maybe calculate function offsets in the library. Not impossible at all.

It is however something you could have just quickly glanced at and found otherwise.
>Would you expect to pick up the violin as if you were an expert?

Rightly or wrongly, in programming we do expect this. We keep saying things like how languages are only tools, and how terms like "Java programmer" is as absurd as "Casio mathematician".

If you have effortlessly switched between imperative OO languages many times before, it's easy to think that any language you can't quickly learn must be because it's fundamentally and abnormally difficult.

> You're really calling their otherness out, and it hurts.

> your solution is to use gender neutral pronouns for transgender people? Yup, that's very nearly as bad.

Indeed, this is calling out someone as other and different, probably with pejorative intent. However, this is distinct from the effect of mis-gendering someone. The latter is about the transgender person not feeling like they are perceived like they perceive themselves. The former is about the transgender person being ostracized.

Those are different problems. Wanting to fix one of them does not require fixing the other. And really, if people want to ostracize, they will find ways. We should give guidance on speech to avoid inadvertently hurting others. For those who intentionally want to hurt others with speech, rules won't suffice. Those people either need a change of mind, or be dealt with like you would any other asshole.

I suppose that taking certain speech out of the accepted vernacular can help isolate the bigots. Because they could no longer hide amongst those who unintentionally use harmful language. This is what happened with the N-word. If someone uses it these days, you can pretty easily mark them as racists without worrying they didn't mean to use the term.

There might be others, but I recall 2 styles of pension setup. One we use in Australia is that workers set aside x% of their wages into a fund where they can't access the money until they have retired at >60 years old.

The other is a transfer-payment from current workers to retired workers.

In the second case what you say is true; pension funds would be basically a thin abstraction for what is basically a welfare system. People's benefits are not linked to their productivity and life choices. Pension funds would have no power.

However in the Australian system the funds have enormous power because they sit on a vast pool of capital they have exclusive control over. They have the means and power to start their own business/create demand for new businesses that meet their retirees potential needs. This shows there is no theoretical reason why pension funds can't actively participate in shaping the economy to meet future retirees needs.

But your main point goes to the fact that 'investment' is typically in pieces of paper rather than real things. This is probably a result of government policy favouring people who own financial assets over real assets. Governments have been running a 'war on investment' for many years; look at how well companies like Uber do that take capital and basically burn it. How is a productive company supposed to compete with that sort of business plan? There is far too much credit in the system and that is a direct result of government policies or situations quietly accepted by government policy. All those resources could have gone into things that retirees were going to use.

If a company losing billions can make its owners billions; there is no particular incentive to do the legwork to actually think about the future and come up with a plan that works. We are starting to see the results of that thinking, which is pervasive, in the pension funds.

Addition For Clarity; real investment is supposed to be about making it much cheaper and easier to secure useful resources in the future. If there are broad scale pension crises, which there are, then whatever has been going on isn't real investment. It was a likely outcome of the '08 crisis that real investment would be squelched; because people who were exposed as not stewarding money sensibly were left in charge. I'll bet the Europeans are in a worse spot than the Americans and doing something foolish like following their financial lead but with a more extensive welfare state.
I think you have serious conceptual holes in your understanding of the post.

> The issues that Kalai poses as to the validity of the experiments done by Google’s Quantum AI Lab is that the difference between the ideal distribution D and sampled distribution D’ is meaningfully different enough from each other, that significant results cannot be obtained from the experiment in comparing performance to classical simulations.

This is categorically false. Can you quote the passage(s) that lead you to this conclusion?
> drivers that drove really unsafely, wouldn't listen to my instructions about what route to take, made wrong turns, etc. I haven't had this problem with drivers on Uber/Lyft/Juno.

This sums up most of my urban Uber/Lyft experiences, be it Boston, Chicago, or NYC. Also my experiences when I'm driving and somebody's got an Uber sticker on the car.

Cabs don't exactly vet driving, but Uber/Lyft have a lot of folks out there that probably shouldn't be driving. And it's pretty wishful thinking to think that Uber/Lyft don't have recent arrivals driving--Uber at least will give a warm body a lease and take the payments out of what those drivers make on the platform. (A big part of what passes for "their business" is car loans!)

Yes, there are multiple harassers which then could slow my connection. Within minutes after shortening my wifi range, there were verbal complaints like - "I hate you". Bluetooth may well be the way for the talking, but of course my computer shows no blue tooth connection. I did run network software and got their computer IP addresses (I think that's the correct term). That's how I kicked them off the router, individually, after shortening the wifi range. But, one keeps changing the address, that's why I started this thread inquiry. Thought if I did the same, it would be harder to get on mine”

Anecdotally, you're the third person I hear talking about their savings recently and all of you have mentioned you think we are near a top and have been swinging your allocation from stocks to bond.

I took an Uber helicopter at EDC Las Vegas. It was partnered out with a local company that did the usual tours. It was pretty convenient and a cool add-on by Uber.
The empty bed idea is a terrible one. It'll only encourage people to leave their beds loaded.

The only wrecks (only fender benders) I've ever been in were when I had a heavily loaded bed or was pulling a trailer. Not only does stopping distance increase, but weight is sometimes taken off of the front tires, meaning ability to steer/swerve is also impaired.

This is one of those rules that not only would have the opposite of the desired, but also increase the severity of accidents that do occur.
The part you are quoting as 'not true' talks about primary coolant, which is radioactive as that's the water flowing thought the reactor core. I assure you it never leaves the station.

I think the overall thrust of your post is in general agreement with mine - reactors have to discharge heat into seawater, or use cooling towers which evaporate water.
This the issue is of correctly designing the cooling of, and sighting of, the powerplant.

Furthermore, this is not an inherent quality of nuclear power, it's a product of deploying it in the form of >3000 MWt power-plants.

If we adopted the approach of small module reactors, they can be passively cooled.
Should HN get a dark theme?
HN is my primary source for tech news. I’d love to have ability to toggle dark theme, and save my eyes a little bit. What are your thoughts?
Coincidentally just this week I've working to resolve point 1 in my own shell (https://github.com/lmorg/murex). The compromise I came up with was:

- The shell would attempt to return all suggestions immediately

- However a subset of functions which are known to be slower queries (like recursive directory look ups on larger file system hierarchies) are given a "soft timeout" -- where after that timeout is reached, the slower faster subset of functions are returned as the suggestions while the slower subset continues to run in the background

- The slower subset are also given a "hard timeout" where when that point is reached, if the function still hasn't completed then it is just killed. Any results is has produced (if any) by that point are appended to the auto-completion suggestions.

- If the slower subset finished before the hard timeout then it is appended to the suggestions. If it finishes before the soft timeout then it's just part of the suggestions.

At the moment it's only been implemented for file and directory suggestions. The fast function is just any files and directories in the current directory level; where as the slow function will return a larger directory hierarchy (for quick navigating akin to fzf). But the plan is to extend it further to support other dynamic completers as well.

This wouldn't completely solve your point though. If the "fast" query actually runs slow (eg you're trying to complete when inside a network mounted filesystem when the network is dropping) then the shell would still hang. At some point I'll add timeouts on them as well. But I am inching towards that goal.

Be warned though, because this feature is less than a week old, it's still only in a feature branch. :)

Your point on 3 is apt too. One of the things I built early on was man page parsing for auto-completion suggestions. I've since learned that I'm not alone in that regard either (Fish does it as well -- and from some of the demo's I've watched it looks like they've done a nicer job there too).

More recently I've also been writing tools that parse binaries for flags as well (in instances where you download a statically compiled binary - eg terraform - and thus don't have any corresponding man pages). That work is very much in it's infancy though.

I'm actually surprised that this article made the homepage and has received the upvotes it has on this (typically SEO sceptical) HN forum.

Probably less than 30% of the article would be considered "effective" (e.g. the advice is specific to, and likely to materially increase SEO performance) and the rest is either unsubstantiated (semantic tags and image compression leading to SEO ranking improvements) or unrelated to actual SEO (404 pages and other "engagement" advice).

There are much better articles that break down the basics, ignore the "SEO" parroting and that are substantiated by real data (based on test and trial).

Sites like these are inherently fragile if they derive the majority of their revenue by trying to game SEO. Not saying there is no opportunity there, but being one algorithm update away from second page results or worse means your business has a lot of risk associated with it.
