The Federal Reserve operates like any other bank with the exception that there is no regulatory limit on how big it’s balance sheet can get relative to the capital invested. In this case the capital comes from the member banks which are required to deposit 1/2 of their investment and make the other half available in case it is called. The banks are guaranteed 8% return on the total amount.

The large balance sheet and small reserves means that the Federal Reserve is thinly capitalized relative to other banks. Forgiving or writing off a loan would result in a loss which should result in the member banks taking a loss. To many losses and Congress would need to chip in to cover losses.

In practice the Treasury will allow the Fed to take a bit of interest from other investment to offset losses. This doesn’t make congress happy because it is effectively redistribution of taxpayer money outside of Congress. Taken to an extreme the Treasury could direct billions of dollars of taxpayer money through bailouts to connected individuals by paying above market prices for assets.

In a pinch the Federal Reserve could also re-value its gold reserves to balance its books and make up for losses. Or it could simply never recognize the losses. For example making a 100 year loan with no interest to the state of Illinois.

Crossing some of these lines would quickly (if not already) trigger a collapse in the currency or a Congressional showdown.

Keith Conrad's Expository Papers
When I joined Engineering in India (1994), my state had 2000 engineering seats. 120K people wrote the entrance test for the 2K seats.

Today the same state has about 250K seats. Anyone who writes the entrance test can get into some college or other.

Has the quality gone down? I would think so. But I definitely think qualified students is definitely greater than 2k even when I went to college.

I would rather prefer over supply rather than shortage of educational opportunities any day.
After thinking about it for many years I've come to the conclusion that some people really haven't noticed themselves, (e.g. I think Daniel Dennett is a p-zombie!)

-There are software repository for windows wit GUI or CLI
-I have a T60 it's about 14 years old it runs the last version of Windows 10 just fine.
-There is no special hardware necessarily at all. Some super old CPUs may lack NX, PAE or SSE2 and thus would not run anything after Win7. but that's irrelevant machines with such old CPUs can not even render a modern website in a useful time no matter what OS is running underneath.
Really I recall working for one on the big civil consultancies and we had one of our bridges fall of its supports once.

Even if it does get generics, it's not enough to fix all the issues with the language.

Java and C# are getting native compilation soon (GraalVM, CoreRT), and when they do, it's hard pressing to see why anyone would settle for an inferior language (golang) over mature and better designed systems.
> The main issues, at least in my opinion, are "very very" bad teaching and very low incentives for someone to study well.

Another significant element I'd point to is outdated curricula. By way of example, many Indian CS course materials still require students to use Turbo C++ -- an IDE from the mid-1990s which runs under DOS. Needless to say, what ends up being taught is hardly representative of modern practices.
Quite the opposite actually - layoffs are a very expensive one-time cost for a company.
> Uses Crockford's base32 for better efficiency and readability (5 bits per character)

From what I can tell, this is the alphabet:

Is there any reason why Crockford's alphabet hasn't been rolled into an RFC that supersedes RFC 4648 if it's more efficient and readable?

RFC 4648 specifies [0-9a-v] (base32hex) and [a-z2-7] (base32).

You could use Flutter. It has the first point, but I am not necessarily sure about the latter ones.
"Sherlocked" refers to the platform owner (Apple) cloning an app (Astropad, Duet Display, Air Display et al.) or its prime function (using an iPad as a secondary display) into the OS (macOS.)

Since Air Display was not part of macOS and was not created by Apple, we could probably say that Air Display (like Duet and Astropad) was Sherlocked by Apple/Sidecar.

That being said, it's a pretty obvious feature that I've wanted since the first iPad. I started using Air Display when it first came out, but it always felt clunky and I wanted a simple wired solution that was included in the box and "just worked."

Probably getting outside air (and if necessary cleaning that) is more cost-effective than scrubbing CO2 or constantly replacing oxygen tanks.
Assuming the file-manager is a typical program that firefox spawn's by calling some form of exec on the relevent executable, it is quite resonable within SELinux for that file-manager to run in a different domain [0]. At this point, that file manager becomes part of the user-space security model I was talking about, where it acts as the gate-keeper of access.

Using MCS is interesting here. It still the problem that it involves relabeling files as a matter of course, which is generally frowned upon. From a practical perspective, this type of relabeling would turn into effectivly a lock [0.5] on the file, where no other "confined" domain can access it. The plus side of using catagories is that you can run all of the applications in the same (or one of a pre-determined set) of application domains while keeping them isolated [1]. This has the side benifit of avoid the issue of applications loading new policy as they are being installed. [2]

My instinct for the problem is to, as your edit suggests, leverage file descriptors. From a non-SELinux perspective, I have never passed file descriptors other than parent -> child, but it appears you can do so with unix sockets [3]. From a policy perspective, there are three sets of permissions that are relevent:

1) Permission to read/write to arbitrary user files. Both firefox and the file manager would need these

2) Permission to open arbitrary user files. Only the file manager would need this; firefox should not have it.

3) Permission to use file descriptors opened by the file manager. Firefox would need this.

When I do a policy analysis, I generally assume that having (1) grants full access to the file; however if your security model dependent on it, there is no reason you could not restrict file access by leveraging (2) and (3).

The userspace implementation would be more complicated than the policy. For example, in the case of a local webpage, firefox does not want to open just a single file, but also any resource file that that file requires (and files that it links to and those resource files). So, what would need to happen is:

1) Firefox spawns file-manager

2) User selected *.html file from local file system

3) Firefox reads selected file and creates a list of resource files it needs to read

4) Firefox spawns file manager and requests read access to resource files.

5) ???

6) File manager either grants or denies access to the resource files.

The hard part is step 5, which is implemented entirely in userspace.

[0] I wouldn't go so far as to say it should run in an unconfined domain, since it should be restricted from, for example, network access.

[0.5] Not a very good lock either; SELinux does not handle access revocation very well.

[1] This is the approach Android takes.

[2] SELinux does have a module system; however there is no mechanism to limit what permissions a module can add.

Yeah, I've only had jobs that can be done anywhere, which is both good and bad. It gives me flexibility but also expectations.

Sometimes I envy my dentist friends. They make great money, but when they leave at 5:30pm, they are done for the day. Even their continuing education is scheduled into their in-office work day, as one of their benefits. On the flip side, they have to be in that office every day from 8:30 to 5:30. There is very little flexibility.

Speaking cynically, you've just outlined the case against a work from home policy. You intend to use it to reduce your integration in the workplace by cutting out an hour of smalltalk with people in the office.

Even the fact that business relationships are fairly shallow - all the more reason for the businesses themselves to encourage them.
I agree. A less antagonistic title would be "How to Expand the Benefits of Remote Work To All." While it is literally true that socioeconomic inequality is increasing, it is increasing because one side is better off in a way that takes nothing away from the other side.

EDITED React native's GUI compiles to native code. Or something like that. It is very different from Electron.
A normal schedule helps, but there are a number of other things which need to align in order for it to work. I'm guessing you have those things and take them for granted or you would have listed them.

A proper work environment is key, including limiting distractions and proper ergonomics. You also need co-habitants which respect and understand the boundaries and work rules. It really helps to have a house. I live in an apartment and can't control the distractions(literally as I hit 'reply' someone started a power saw in the garage below my office).

Do you need a birthday gift crowdfunding app?
Hi guys, I don't even remember how many times we got rejected from YC, but it only means that each time we have become for one step closer to our success. We are launching our 3 MVP for the last 6 months:

1. Was a mobile keyboard with gift cards GiftGo
2. Was Venmo stile mobile app with gift cards GiftChat
3. It is a birthday gift crowdfunding app Shaker - Super Gift Maker.

What is our goal? People can do amazing things together, so let’s start with birthday gifts because this is the most important day in life. Just think, if a thousand people will send a gift together, it will become a super gift, so our goal is to make people happy by making super gifts, and we can do it together.

How does it work?

1. We create a birthday gift crowdfunding for you.
2. We ask your followers, subscribers, fans, etc to fund your gift.
3. We negotiate a gift with your funders.
4. We purchase a gift for you.
5. We deliver a gift to you.

What do you need?
You need to be a blogger, streamer, influencer, or any other famous person with a social account.

How much it cost? Our goal is to be a free app for you, and we will achieve it soon, but right now we take only a 10% fee from the funded amount to cover app costs, transaction costs, gift preparation, and delivery costs.

How to create your account? You need to send us your date of birthday, contacts, and social accounts. We will create your profile, and you need to put that profile link on your social accounts.

How to fund a gift? You can fund a gift with Apple Pay and GPay, for that you need to be registered with a mobile phone number, name, and email.

Thank you and have a great day! www.joinshaker.com
> I know the chromium engine is a resource hog, but the scalability/mix between platforms makes it worth it.

Worth it for some. Personally, I refuse to use any Electron apps because they have a highly non-native-feeling UX and because they're resource hogs.

This announcement excites me, because React Native is likely to be an improvement on both counts.

The UX still won't be quite as native-feeling as a single-platform app designed for that platform's unique idioms – but as long as it uses native controls under the hood, that's still 10x better than Electron in my book.

And even without the bloat of Chromium, an app written in JS is still likely to be slower than one written in, say, C++ or Rust – but most GUIs don't really need that level of performance. And at least on macOS, the competition is not C++ or Rust but Objective-C and Swift, which are both slower, more on par with JS in terms of performance.

I don't know this is not more widespread, but you have 3 type of care. Non-intrusive ventilators or oxygen masks (or the nasal oxygen stuff), instrusive ventilator and the last one is artificial blood oxygenation, i will count this as intrusive ventilation as it is often used with intrusive ventilation.

Around 10% of known cases needs hospitalisation. Among them, 70% to 80% of cases only needs oxygen and not respiratory help. So you can't give them oxygen, they'll either die or have permanent right heart or brain damage. Those will likely be fine after a dozen day at the hospital.

If your oxygen levels are really, really low, you will need an intrusive ventilator. And yes, the death rate in those cases is absurdly high (between 60 and 90%).

Note: 10% of known cases is NOT 10% of cases.

Note 2: IMO this 10% number should be way higher as hypoxemia is far more widespread than previously thought, even for people with mild symptoms, even for kids (i only have anecdotal data on this so don't use it as an argument until papers are written and consensus is made). Still, if you have covid with only mild symptoms, please go to the hospital to take your oxygen saturation level.
So far all I've seen on this topic are mostly models.

I'd love some experimental data for once (with regards to SARS-CoV-2, a lot is modeling, and a lot less is bench work) to know if this is true or not (there are a few studies but most of them aren't that great, at least the ones I've read).

In a POSIWID sense, systems that claim to be equality systems are actually aiming at Gini 1. Therefore, my priors on the outcomes likely if I am to go along with an equality-optimizer are high that I will end up a serf and near zero that I will end up equal participant in the commune.

My priors on the outcomes likely if I am to go along with a top-line optimizer are high that he will make out like a bandit, I will make out like a bandit's brother's mechanic, and low that he will eat me.

Merely empirically, optimizing for happiness of the bottom quartile, I should never choose the guy who claims to be an equality-optimizer. America is prosperous and peaceful and a veritable font of innovation. Her poorest are wealthy. Her hungriest are satiated. It's working. I'm going to double down. And double down again.

Baudrillard himself was even more dismissive. He argued that 'the matrix' was the kind of film that the matrix would make, and that the film deeply misunderstood his ideas by drawing such a sharp distinction between the real and the representation.
Can someone help me understand this? The thesis is that remote work is making inequality worse, but all they show is an association between working remote and income. Where's the thesis coming from?

“Real-time” has nothing to do with frame rate and everything to do with latency and simultaneous throughput.
It’s not it can transcode upto 44 streams of 1080p@30fps in real time as in there is effectively no delay which makes it suitable for broadcasting live video.

Real time means that there is no delay between frames going in and going out.
I'm aware of that and I've done quite a bit of work on both spiking neural networks and modern deep learning. My point is that those complexities are not required to implement many important functional aspects of the brain: most basically "learning" and more specifically, attention, memory, etc. Consciousness may fall into the list of things we can get functional without all of the incidental complexities that evolution brought along the way. It may also critically depend on complexities like multi-channel chemical receptors but since we don't know we can't say either way.

It's a tired analogy but we can understand quite a lot about flight and even build a plane without first birthing a bird.
