I don't think this is the case - I think inflation has caused the cost of producing bread to increase thus leading to higher prices.
If anything it seems to me that bread is of lower quality these days - more GMO's and usually mass-produced using factory farming methods.
That's exactly what I expected. SQLite is one of the very few pieces of software where, when compiled on a new compiler, a bug is much more likely to be in the compiler than in the software it's compiling.

That's not because compilers aren't buggy; compilers have bugs. It's because most software is compiled with very few compilers and has fairly low ratio of effort invested in being correct vs effort invested in writing features. Neither of those are true for SQLite.
But time and again we've seen violent crimes rise after enacting gun control, most recently in New Zealand[0] (this particular report focuses on gun crimes, which are on the rise after gun control has been enacted, but it's by no means a problem isolated to gun crime).

It all indicates the problem isn't the gun, it's the person. And taking their gun away doesn't take away their problems. I find it odd that the current climate of acceptance and a desire to help others can so staunchly ignore mental health issues.

I've seen the same tactics used in Germany as well.

Basically the HR rep and their line manager call them in a meeting room and play good cop - bad cop so they end up just signing whatever the good cop says is "best" for them.

That's why lots of companies here love hiring young expats sine they're easy to abuse like this as they're new in the country, don't have anyone to ask for help, don't know the language, don't know the law, don't qualify yet for unemployment and can't afford a lawyer and are emotionally vulnerable so they'll blindly sign whatever HR gives them and focus on finding a new job ASAP instead of fighting them in court.

It's one of the reasons I avoid working in companies that focus on hiring mostly expats.
This comment is wholly unclear. What's inevitable? Cyberattacks? Racism? Protests? Police violence?

Does anyone know the mechanism that increases blood flow to more active parts of the brain? Not being an expert, I'm imagining expanding/constricting blood vessels controlled by a signalling pathway from... what?
I don't think this is the case, but in some cases getting a severance package might be a good option: you get the money and can look for another job, while if you're on unemployment benefits you lose those as soon as you get hired again.
Sorry, but no. As a compiler writer, the burden of proof that this is a bug isn't on me, its on you. If you believe this is a bug in clang, open up a bug with a reproducer, and get somebody to analyze it and confirm it. SQLite isn't a tiny project, so doing that should be quite easy.

I have better things to do than reading the whole SQLite code base like, for example, fixing the bugs of the people that actually bothered to fill in a bug report.

Until this bug is confirmed, it can be anything, and unfortunately, bugs reported for C and C++ projects are quite often not bugs in the compiler, but UB in user code.

The fact that you think that just by looking at a single function signature one can deduce where this could be UB related to const depicts the problem. UB is unfortunately not that simple, and I can think of a couple of ways of const-related UB in which the declaration "looked fine".
> That's a process problem which is neither your nor coworker X's fault. That's my fault. Sorry...

I wouldn't rush to blame you if you were my manager. It's not the manager's job to breathe down everyone's neck -- they have to make sure to foster the right culture (like don't push potentially breaking changes to production at Friday afternoon) and ensure that the people hired are actually able and motivated.

From then on though, all bets should be off. Maybe the guy/girl had an awful day and is otherwise excellent. Maybe they felt pressured due to miscommunication (or a coworker being an ass and they took it personally and figured they'll speed through the task), or maybe they simply were novice in that particular problem or technology.

None of that would be your fault.

Revolut is really scary organization... used them for a year or so, and then one day locked my account... harassed me for 6 months, asking for all sorts of documents, which I provided them. then one day, they closed my account, and sent back 2K balance to random people who sent me money in the past. When contacted them via twitter, the blocked my the same day :)
Your source does not say that QE was deflationary in Japan - just that in the context of a real economic shock to Japan's economy, the central bank's stance was contractionary. Indeed, they argue that more QE would have combatted the deflation.

1) bullshit. Voting is most definitely about winning. Less so in which systems which grant power proportional to the votes received, but true nonetheless. The president affects war, civil rights, corruption, inequality, culture, and numerous essential facets of society. Huge numbers of people don't like Joe Biden but will vote for him simply because they don't want trump to win. I probably would too if I lived in a swing state.

2) I've pretty clearly addressed that the are secondary components to voting like signalling your view. These views are largely ignored by the political process at the presidential level.

> The user antennas are likely to be quite expensive at first (several thousand dollars). Cost reduction of the user antennas is the biggest hurdle Starlink currently faces. Nobody knows yet how much SpaceX will charge for the antenna or service.

Considering the pay-over-time model that SolarCity implemented, should we not expect the same here? Assuming the user antenna can be removed, it can be rented, just like a modem or router.

Relying on the antennas having a long ‘useful life’, it may not be too prohibitive if rented out.

Fear is just a source of information. The emotions we have we have because they provide information in one way or another. Much like the senses. One cannot let oneself be paralyzed by it, though. If one doesn't dare to refactor anything because of fear, something needs to happen. E.g., one needs to be able to test more effectively or something like that.

It's unbelievable how cryo-EM has come on. When i was a student, it was an also-ran behind crystallography and NMR, something that a few weird groups used to study a few special cases. Now you have to wonder if there's any point doing crystallography at all!

I still like NMR, because you're looking at proteins in solution. But if the freezing is good in cryo-EM, maybe even that becomes moot.
With all the posts on HN about paid personal knowledge bases like Roam I'm excited to see a free and open one leveraging my favorite editor.
The proportion of looters vs protestors is much lower than bad cops to good cops. If you are going to let a few bad apples spoil the bunch, why are you not saying the same thing about cops? If it’s about the cost, then why aren’t you complaining about the $5 trillion in looting that Congress just passed to redistribute wealth upwards? Or did you just watch a Fox News clip and get mad about what they want you to?
I spent two years (2014 - 2016) living in a foreign country without a phone, they were some of the best years of my life.

I moved to a new country and there were a couple of barriers that prevented me from getting a phone right away. I decided to forgo the opportunity when it finally arose. I kept a kindle fire, a notebook and pen, and a cheap digital camera on me at almost all times. I can't recommend it enough.

When going new places I studied the location on google maps before leaving home. Instead of getting out my phone to find a place I had to ask for directions. Instead of googling for new places to try out I just walked around and discovered things for myself. Fortunately this was very walkable city. Keeping track of my surroundings mentally was stimulating, and I developed a great sense of direction. I challenged myself to keep track of North at all times (surprisingly easy in a city with streets laid out on a grid).

The language barrier was crazy, but without the ever present distraction of a phone I was able to learn so much. There was no "let me get out my phone and translate this" option, I was forced to learn. I did have a kindle fire that had wifi capabilities, which I used occasionally to send emails in a pinch, but this was few and far between. I kept Anki SRS on it and in those moments that fall in the cracks of life I was studying language flash cards or reading a grammar guide.

When I made plans with friends we had to arrange details ahead of time, usually via email or any one of the messenger apps you can use on a PC. This may have seemed like an inconvenience but it inadvertently introduced more structure to my life. I can remember only twice that my lack of phone made meeting up really difficult, but both times we eventually found each other.

I read so many books in those two years. The order imposed on my life by having to plan ahead, along with removing the distraction of a phone, supercharged my reading time. There were Friday nights where my friends had beer without me because they couldn't get a hold of me, but if I really wanted to I could have reached out.

Anything that I really needed to remember, I just wrote in a notebook. I didn't keep an app for my budget or diet, I just wrote everything down. The act of writing these things down made more mindful about how I spent money and ate food, I didn't need analytics from an app to help make decisions any more.

It seems like you lose a lot of convenience, but what you gain back is so much more valuable. My mind felt clear, when I look back on those years I don't remember all those things I wished I could have googled on the spot. I remember being completely engaged by my surroundings. I understand that living in a foreign country is the thing I look back on so fondly, but the no-phone situation was the music the play was set to. I can't recommend it enough.

Defining the Message
> So the implication is that we should calculate the emotional pain

Wrong, the implications is that it makes absolutely no sense to state that society should just let old people die simply because you're so self-centered that you even fail to register the devastating effect of an epidemic just because you believe it doesn't affect you personally.
i've been reading the "professional javascript for web developers" by matt frisbie. matt has done a great job, the book is very thorough. after reading through about a 1/3 of the book it's evident that js is a very flexible language and riddled with soooo many inconsistencies due to all the band-aids manily due to the evolution of the js standard. the section of var blew my mind. it's really sad that so many engineers are exposed to this mess. there is a reason there are so many languages that compile to js. with this pattern, it boggles my mind that the js standards folks continue to add more cruft into the language. they've done enough damage.
Electric commercial vans are such an obvious use case with real benefits. I am amazed it took so long. Spoke to a UPS driver who complained about his truck having a ~150 mile range on propane. That's a crime. With regen braking in a stop and start job it's electric for the win. There might even be the possibility to extend the range a percent or two with solar on that big van roof. It's not much, but try extracting gasoline from the sky.
I believe that there is a strong argument to be made for the middle ground. Like you, I have been both a teacher and student, often at the same time, and was exposed to the trade-offs that any educational paradigm will have to make.

My current favorite approach is the one taken by Udacity in their "Nanodegree" programs. Much of the coursework is tied to autograders, which offer quick (if not very nuanced) feedback on the work performed. The culmination of each unit is a project evaluated by a human being, allowing for guidance on a more personal level.

In the absence of 1:1 tutoring, a hybrid model like this would be the base for my ideal class structure.
How about we replace these sctooers with local eateries/restaurants/cafeterias which you walk to, meet people at, and eat locally-produced, locally-sourced food?

Last year Australia suffer a horrendous year of nation wide bushfires (wildfires) and the current government handled that response very badly.

For that disaster they where very slow to act and appeared to have very little in the way of a plan.

I think they learnt a lot from that earlier mistake, because their handling of the COVID-19 crisis has been almost perfect.

> What did Australia do?

The first response was to limit travel form overseas and to also require anyone coming in from overseas to spend 14 days in quarantine.

The general public also went in lock down.

That meant you could only go outside to buy food, go to the doctor, go to the chemist or go to work and you were also allowed 1 hour of limited exercise every day.

Non essential business where force to close (pub, clubs gyms, restaurants, etc).

Public spaces where people could congregate (i.e. beaches parks etc) where also closed.

Businesses where encouraged to let their workers work from home where possible.

All interstate travel basically came end as many states imposed border closures.

Police would enforce these rules and they would also enforce social distancing rules in public spaces.

For example if you where found to be outside of your local area you would get a fine.

Also if you where found to be loitering in a public space you would get warned and repeat offender fined.

Because of the forced business closures many people became instantly unemployed.

To help with this disruption the government also introduced big changes to the social welfare system to help people with this disruption.

It also introduce anti-eviction laws for renters.

These are just some of the changes made and they all helped the country get on top of the virus.

Now after several months of these restrictions we are seeing the light at the end of what has be a very dark tunnel.

Anti-racism sites are being knocked offline... and some people still think that white nationalists and nazi's are completely uninvolved in the street violence we've been seeing. Yeah right. This is Anonymous/4chan M.O., and it and "Antifa" are fake labels which white nationalists are using to cloak their violent plans.

I think the serenity prayer, sans unnecessary theological content, is relevant here.

For a lot of software products, there is no winning in the long run. You've got good product-market fit and customer loyalty, but your code base is a huge mess and the hard technical problems are solved by third-party libraries. Your tech is a liability and eventually someone with better tech will be smart enough to study your customers, or the students who will eventually replace your inevitably-retiring customers on the front lines and push adoption going forward.

And this is okay. The advantage corporations have over government institutions is that they can be created and destroyed with much less friction.

If you're lucky, your growth curve looks like double-sigmoid table-top. Probably it looks like an asymmetric Gaussian. What it doesn't look like is an exponential. Understand where your product is in its life-cycle, and maximize ROI.

I would be curious to see how they differentiate between a DDoS and a sudden influx of traffic from new sources, possibly including sources hiding behind tor/vpns/whatever.

To be clear, I'm sure Cloudflare is pretty good at determining what is an attack and what is not, I'm just interested in the technical details.
They also successfully pressured over 60% of their staff into exchanging salary for twice the value in options.

During April daily CO2 emissions dropped 17% compared to 2019 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-020-0797-x. Even if that were doubled that's a far ways away from net zero and now a few weeks later people are already back to old habits. Long term voluntary austerity won't work, we need carrots and sticks.

Yes, the data is very noisy, and yes, much of it is backfill, but elementary queuing theory suggests that if deaths by reporting date keep oscillating around the same level, deaths by occurrence date will eventually converge to that level as well.
At these scales, electrons behave more like waves than particles. Also the way that they are scattered by the subject and manipulated via em lenses causes information loss.

I never liked the sound of consent decrees. It sounded too much a decree as in dictatorship but 'orwellianized' to pass the smell test in a nominal democracy.
Although I have never been in a situation like yours, for me personally A Guide to Rational Living (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22673.A_New_Guide_to_Rat...) and meditation with the Waking up app helped tremendously.
I'd be in favor, but that seems a lot harder than buying electric scooters.
In Portugal being laid off means (aproximately) getting 2 thirds of your sallary (one third payed by state and one third payed by the employer) and hope to get back to work. Being fired means getting 80%(?) of your sallary and possibly a severance IF you have worked continuosly for at least 6 months AND have a dependent work contract (or equivalent). If you quit you get nothing.
I never understood this. There's nothing preventing a previous employer from giving someone a bad reference if they were to voluntarily leave either.

I would suppose the world's obsession would be seeing a lot of people dying and thinking in a perhaps mistaken way "that seems unnecessary" and then being upset enough by this idea to not think as highly of the Swedish government as it might otherwise wish people to think of it.

A lot of course being in the eye of the beholder.

I think that seems a less cynical and perhaps simpler explanation for why people would be obsessed with Sweden.

My story with revolut is one day, without warning before, when I opened the app, I'd seen info to update it before I do anything with my money. And in Google Store there was no newer release for my version of Android. The only way to complain is to do this in-app so I was not able to do even this. Basically, I was cut off my money, completely.

After two days I found on their site a form to cancel my account. Which was still not easy, before this they tried to keep me as a customer (suggesting for example to buy newer phone :) )

This is already true when you augment public transport with bike lanes, cheap or public bicycles, and slow narrow vehicles for the movement-impaired which can go on bike lanes.
