I think these policies over decades are why we have inequality. While the political class likes to show solidarity with the working class by punishing the wealthy, probably the working class actually cares more about not being stolen from (which to be fair many of the wealthy do). Except for the fact that these policies are explicitly designed to steal from the working class without notice by anyone.

> Yet when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts. So having a somewhat higher inflation rate would lead to lower unemployment, not just temporarily, but on a sustained basis.

Furthermore, correlation is not causation, but if you look at graphs of when economic productivity diverges from worker compensation (https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/) the systemic divergence occurs suspiciously close to 1972, which is right after Nixon Shock, when the dollar ceased to be tethered to a neutral third party (flawed though it may be) and began to solely be in hands of policy interests. Yes, the EPI draws the line at 1979, but really? Do we not have eyes?
>I understand that Valve has "mostly" pulled off linux/macos support

Although I think the vast majority of their games don't work on the most recent OSX release. Depending on your perspective, either Apple pulled the rug out from under them, or Valve is letting their code atrophy. Maybe a bit of both, but my opinion is more of the former.
Their anti-cheat software might have a hard time getting any injected shellcode to run under Linux.
Indeed, house parties. Friends met a couple working in a coffee shop type place and they were invited back to their house, they told their neighbors they were siblings cause "informal" couples are frowned upon if not illegal. At home the blinds stayed closed, the conservative clothing discarded and they all had a wonderful night. But "if people find out we're in deep shit".

Apparently the hospitality is so "strong" in Iran you have to almost argue or tell lies to not end up in a different stranger's house every night.

A friend of mine here is an Iraqi refugee, when I met him I was amazed at how cosmopolitan and cultured he is. Like more so than anyone I know here.

It's very humbling to experience all that especially when all we see on TV is screaming religious nutbags.
I have a Thinkpad T42p, that I don't use anymore. I wonder how hard would it be to gut it and with a small SBC like Pine64's Rock64 and some additional board make it useful again. Question is how to drive: LVDS display, keyboard, touchpad and trackpoint?
I've seen "Sign in with Apple" exactly once since iOS 13 launched. I am kind of surprised it's not being rolled out more widely. The first app I've seen and used it with was Byte (the Vine successor) over this past weekend.
I understand it isn't the case everywhere, but slave labor in the US poultry industry is a thing: https://thinkprogress.org/the-hellish-conditions-facing-work...
after March these apps will have to offer Apple sign-in or get booted from the app store...
Quality issues and Transportation cost aside. US Poultry export prices is actually cheaper than in Europe.
As policies move toward taxing fossil-carbon use aggressively enough to drive reductions, this unintended consequence could prove very troublesome.

Competently handled green waves will save transport energy from all sources. And, this kind of thing cries out to be integrated with adaptive cruise control (yeah, Elon, the thing you call "autopilot").
Well, it is though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonellosis_in_the_United_St...

142,000 cases were reported annually several years ago. Not 1.3 million. So it is indeed an order of magnitude off.

Imagine comparing estimated flu infections vs people that go to the doctor for flu and you'd get similarly ridiculous results.
it appears that Craigslist has implemented some version of this 'psuedo-random email in the middle' setup ?
The estimates of people infected by coronavirus in China are orders of magnitude larger than the reported cases. It’s very possible in epidemiology.
This is a great misuse of data and not relevant as presented.

Perhaps the US has a significantly higher per capita consumption of Salmonella infection vectors. Perhaps people in the US are less clean in ways that increase infections. Perhaps EU cases are under reported.
I have a similar setup for signing up for services. I set up a custom domain with Fastmail with a wildcard alias that forwards all emails to my inbox. I can then sign up for services with a custom email like "hn-cbsks@myemail.example". If a service leaks my email, I'll know immediately and I'll be able to blacklist that address.
I was replying to a comment that said solar panels are vulnerable to terrorists.

If terrorists have a nuclear warhead they are going to use it against a city not solar panels. Similarly if terrorists have a weapon that can take out thousands of square km of panels it can easily take out existing powerplants (which btw are not armored or in bunkers - apart from some limited shield on nuclear powerplant cores.

The point here is that solar panels are not more vulnerable to terrorists than the existing infrastructure and are probably less vulnerable due to size and how distributed they are.
How does account recovery work?
I've heard that people in the US are discouraged from eating raw eggs. That makes it sound like the EU would be at greater risk, but if we the US doesn't do proper measurements we can pretend that it makes it impossible to even attempt to compare.
Speaking of Shared mutable state, unlearning OOP is going to be a big task for the industry to tackle. Feels like it's on its way out on the backend at least already. It's definitely been my biggest stumbling block in grokking parallel compute.
Interesting - Apple is requiring that you register sending domains as an app developer. So even if your email address database leaks (or you try to sell your user data), only messages that are from your domains and pass SPF/DKIM would be able to send to those addresses. Really smart. I wish Google Oauth would support something like this!

Government debt is different from personal debt. People don't work forever, or live forever. Buying a home on debt is a good choice for a person, since it lets them have a place to live after they stop working. And that debt is backed by the house: if the person dies before the house is paid off, they get the house rather than coming after the heirs for debts.

The government never retires, and never has to pay off its debts. That gives it a lot of leverage, but it also obligates new citizens to a share of the debt as soon as they're born. Your parents can't pass their mortgage debt to you, but they do pass on their share of money that the government has borrowed.

So the government can safely borrow money, but at some point it will accumulate so much debt that people begin to doubt its ability to pay it back. Whoever is left holding the bag at that point will be in very deep trouble.

I don't know what point that is. Interest rates are still low, so the answer appears to be "not today" (and "not imminently"). But the article points out that the low interest rates may be something of a false indicator.

So as you say, responsible debt is good. But decreasing revenue via tax cuts, and increasing debt accumulation, at a time when the economy appears to be booming doesn't appear to be responsible. It reduces the ability to borrow in the future, at precisely the time you could be increasing that ability by paying down old debts. Especially if you're then covering it up by borrowing in a way that's hard for people to see.
Yugabyte has great articles in general and seems almost to be good to be true what I have read.

It is just missing a bit of independent third party reviews but it does look interesting.

Anyone with hands on experience?
> In times of congestion, the conditions rarely exists for very long which would allow both lanes to match speed before the merge point.

I see these conditions frequently in LA. Either two merging lanes are highly congested in which case they are moving at roughly the same speed anyway, or there's one congested lane and one less dense lane.

The latter case shows up at almost every onramp when traffic gets thick, so it's pretty common. It doesn't take any special skills to negotiate well: accelerate to the speed of thru traffic and proceed to the end of the lane looking for a gap to match with. If you feel like it or just don't want the people behind you who don't understand this to feel impatient, accelerate to maybe an additional 30% above matched speed, then slow down to matched speed and look for a gap as the end of the lane gets close.

Every once in a while you see the reverse situation, where for some reason the merging lane is thick and the thru lane is moving at speed. That is indeed a really difficult situation. Thankfully it's rarer.

> The simplest rule is to use as much road as possible.

Right. While matching speed.
The same way living in your own feces but taking a shower before leaving the house does not make you a clean person.
As a application owner, I won't see the users email, instead Apple generates a unique address for each signup. That email also redirects any emails to the users email.

For someone who doesn't like a lot of what Apple does, this is a really nifty feature.

We just started integrating "Sign in with Apple" last week and are about to deploy it. Discovering the shielding of email addresses was a happy discovery, which I haven't seen before.
Sounds like it is good for privacy, unless Apple decides to snoop?

Sign in with your Apple account basically. It works nowhere near as well as on iOS or other Apple platforms, but I'm surprised they made it work.

I mean. I get the ego death thing when I’m mushed out. The phrasing of your statement didn’t quite make sense. I’ve done boomers more times than I can count. I prefer acid. Less introspection.
I talked to someone who was an agricultural scientist, working for a fishing company in Seattle. When I brought up how I heard the oceans would be unfishable in 50 years, he said, "That's not true."

He want to to say the fishery industry is concerned with sustainability, after all these fisheries have been around for generations and want to stay that way. He claimed they carefully monitored fish populations to maintain stability in fishing.

I don't know enough about the subject. He could have been touting the official line fed to him, but he could have also been telling us the honest truth based on his team/company's research.
I never said it was lackluster, I said that it was equivalent. The differences lie around how asynchronous thread signals are delivered and handled. Win32 is less flexible in that regard, and when you're writing any kind of cross platform threaded software which includes Win32, you must make accommodations for this difference. Pthreads can't be fully emulated on Win32, so you have to have your pthread path, and your win32 path.

And yes, you correctly point out that on nix and Win32, interaction with the kernel is often different. Win32 does a lot right, I won't ever speak negatively of it, it is the desktop OS of choice by a huge margin. It's just that nix and Win32 are so different from each other, that you can't generally write a single implementation of your low level thread interaction for both classes of platforms.
Because it's taking huge amounts of treasuries purchased to simply support the market. You're seeing stability, but your children are seeing a higher debt burden.
Fortunately, we automate all our deployments to the app store and playstore with fastlane.

Reading through this thread it sounds like there are probably some config options to improve the emulator, but I cannot find a way to speed up studio vs xcode.

It takes < 3 seconds to launch xcode and open a source file. Studio takes 15 seconds to open and even then it takes another 5-10 seconds before the UI actually unlocks.
I'm really skeptical of studies like this. There's a lot of motivated reasoning in proving the medical benefits of recreational drugs to aid in legalization; medical marijuana was one such example. And usually in threads like this it's almost always users coming up with glowing conversion stories of how LSD changed their life.

I don't like how HN has blind spots like these culturally. Just how Ritalin was used for ADHD in children and the worries of overdiagnosis should really make people skeptical about this, if just to make you think what the side effects or problems were from something that is a useful cure.
That's how mafias work though. The mafia don has to keep his underlings paranoid and distrustful of one another. Otherwise they might conspire to overthrow him. It's a never-ending game of deceit, gaslighting, capricious violence, and palace intrigue.

It's also why these organizations are so dysfunctional. All of these machinations stand in direct contrast to the principles of effective management. Transparency, alignment of incentives, pooling of resources, cross-training expertise, and clear communication are all impossible to achieve in that kind of environment.

The difference between Tony Soprano and Jeff Bezos is that if you stab Tony Soprano in the back, you have a pretty good shot at becoming Tony Soprano. Same story holds true for authoritarian regimes. In democracies, the mandate to rule comes from popular approval. Simply conspiring to depose the ruler is not a viable path to power. Yet in Iran, China or Russia there's nothing to stop this besides fear and paranoia in the regime.

In a healthy org, it'd be nuts to have two divisions working at cross-purposes against each other. Yet in mafias, we see this kind of behavior all the time. For example, Hitler was notorious for giving different generals contradictory orders. Clearly it has some adaptive utility within that context.
I was just thinking that Ted Nelson accusing the Media Lab of selling visions to promote itself is like Genghis Khan accusing Attila of pillaging.

Which is not to say that selling visions doesn't have a useful place in the world.
"Utterly private" is a very odd term here.

At the very least, Apple knows which sites you're signing into, and has the unique e-mail addresses used at those sites, and has likely issued the authentication tokens for those sites. I'm not sure what's "utterly private" about this setup.
You get a username + password dialog to write your Apple ID and password in.

Reflationary might be a better interpretation, since vast amounts of wealth were destroyed in 2008.
The food process relies on the fact that peracetic acid decomposes rather quickly. However, handling the active solution requires great care. It's highly corrosive and toxic.

I wish someone would post a counterexample along with their downvote.

Nuclear, slow as it may be to build, is still the fastest option to actually eliminate fossil fuel usage. The other plans involving intermittent sources require immense amounts of energy storage. To put this in perspective, the US consumes ~5TWh of electricity during nighttime. The entire world only produces 300GWh of lithium ion batteries annually [1]. This is expected to increase to 1TWh by 2023 and probably 2TWh by 2030. But still, if we're talking about eliminating fossil fuel usage globally it'd take the better party of a century to build the energy storage required. Other plants for energy storage are either geographically limited (hydroelectric), or have yet to be built at any meaningful scale and have questionable efficiencies (Sabatier process, hydrogen).

France's nuclearization program took 20 years [2], but that's a hare's pace compared to building the energy storage required for intermittent sources.

To me: that it’s important to be aware of, because unaccountable selfish interests win by default.
Hm. Well, being able to answer basic questions like "How many people played it?" and "Can you use the human inputs to help improve the engine?" would be nice.

Can't use the human inputs to improve anything if the data doesn't exist.

Lichess tracks all games, for example, and I don't think they ask for permission. Is that a bad thing? I was forced to conclude it's probably fine, but perhaps an argument could be made.

I think a another example to convey the message to the average person would be slowing down from 60mph. You can do so by pressing on the breaks or by slamming into a tree. Suddenly stopping by hitting a tree is something more people have indirect experience with than the idea of a speed increase strong enough to cause the same problems.
This is pure speculation, but I suspect the corruption there would be less likely to damage the artifacts - instead by delegating control of the plates to his brother the director was giving his brother a large amount of leverage to get a good position or decent cash payout out of the national Nigerian museum in Lagos mentioned in the article.

I'd be more concerned about those items going to private collectors, since they're probably safe for a generation and then likely to be scalped by the heirs for cash.

Yea there are some ugly hacks to make that work.

If you worked in Python I’ve seen people do work in Pythonista on YouTube, but the best way I’ve seen to develop “locally” without a jailbreak is setting up a RaspberryPi4 to provide an Ethernet device over USB-C which you can connect to via SSH. Definitely a major hack and you’ll still need to either turn on the hotspot or connect the Pi some other way to the internet.
I mean, what is evolution if not adaptation?

The concern is that the gradient of change is too steep.
I'd appreciate seeing your code for this - I've intended to write a similar app for listening to an old alarm system I have.
Just static sites for now, although you could have them talk to a backend somewhere else. A longterm goal is to allow basic backend code to run on the phone as well (ie. a simple wrapper around sqlite).
Forgot to add an older entry-level android tablet (7”) used as a digital photo frame, running Fotoo:

You know I live in the mid-west and I have seen some iffy chicken farms and some really clean ones. I have also been to Europe (mainland, Britain, and Ireland) and have seen the same. The thing is you simply can not inspect everything all the time and guarantee the entire supply chain will be free from issues...but you can put mitigations in place that can help.
There is a solution already and it's LIDAR/RADAR. None of these should fool a LIDAR or combined LIDAR and camera system.
