> We’re still below the fed mandate.

The Fed doesn't have a specific mandate for inflation levels, so it is impossible to be below it. The Fed mandate is to “promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long term interest rates”.
It doesn't invalidate trick down theory - it highlights a weakness in the human behavior in the personality types making those decisions. Ladder climbers vs conscious capitalists would have different results in 'trickle down'.
It just seems to me that it would need to be horizontal, and likely encounter greater stresses during transport than during a tightly controlled horizontal assembly process.
If you have some form of Turing-complete macros, then macro processing might not terminate. I don't see why this is anything but trivial, or a compelling argument against Turing-complete macros.

But it's more economical, money-wise, as Russian launchers history shows. In general, American rocket school tends to have better mass efficiency but less economical efficiency that Russian rocket school.

> The Fed has been fudging the inflation numbers since Moses was in short pants

The Fed hasn’t been around that long, and isn’t even involved in inflation numbers, which come from the Bureau of Economic Analysis in the Department of Commerce.
The real question here is: Is it getting better? For example Alibaba is putting a lot of effort into combating fraud (I.e. fake products) on its platform. The Chinese government also made serious moves. Does IP theft exist and is it serious? For sure. Is it getting better? Probably yes. Does being in an election year help to have realistic reporting on this issue? Probably not. And BTW have a look at how Japan grew in the 60s and 70s.
I think this is an application where Google could help. Google Ancestry. Archive digitalization like Google Books plus genealogy tree generation (it could build diverging trees and people could help to fix them like in Google Maps)

Most people I've seen have simply been using that mismatch to push a higher minimum wage (of, say, $15, which a lot of people have been pushing for for a while, and is the same as $600 a week).
I don’t get how twitter and msft could buy just the US operations of a company like tiktok... like do the developers and PMs still work in China and then twitter just helps maintain the servers. Or does the app diverge into 2 apps at that point with 2 separate dev teams?
Three weeks ago I bought a red onion. I have no idea if it was one of the affected brands. I have been eating it ever since, nearly every day, mostly raw on sandwiches. I've consumed maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of it.

Question: can I infer from not getting sick yet that my onion is not one of the contaminated ones? Or does the way this works is that only parts of the onion are contaminated, and it is possible that by chance I simply haven't gotten to the contaminated part and I should discard this thing?
Though in this case I can't honestly believe these[1] look remotely similar and people will confuse them even if this company is selling electronics.

> Harrods bag and Mars candy in 1985 Moscow would be a telltale the size of Kremlin tower. Kutuzovsky avenue was a KGB owned turf, lots of Communist apparatchik lived there, including late Secretary General Brezhnev.

I took it to mean that the MI6 agents were under diplomatic cover. It would not be strange for British diplomats to carry or eat British things, right? And it's also a decent defense against an accidental signal, since non-agents would naturally not have Mars bars nor bags from Harrods.
When the ULA Vulcan was first announced, the plan was the engines, which are 90% of the cost of the first stage, would be recoverable and reusable. The idea was the engine section would detach from the rest of the rocket, fall a ways and then a parachute would open, and finally it would be caught mid-air by a helicopter. The idea was this would help it compete on price with the Falcon 9.

However, according to the Wikipedia article on Vulcan, this has not been funded, and so the rocket is going to be fully disposable.
Not only that, but with insane amounts of new government debt, inflation is the only way for government to bring it back under control.

If you're really helping someone, how can they end up ripping you off? Are you helping them in the same way a water salesman might help somebody dying of thirst in the desert, by selling them water at a reasonable price? Sounds more like you tried to profit opportunistically and failed. Don't expect pity.

I had to remove this feature to get it to work on safari. Apple hates autoplay sound. (which as a user is overall a good thing)
I don't think it's a compelling argument against having such a language. But you might want to know what you're up against if, say, you decide to write an autocompleter for your editor that needs to know types.
Thanks. I'll put it on product hunt tomorrow
I concur. Tourism tends to benefit wealth holders more than wealth creators - providing easy returns to property owners but only minimum wage jobs to workers. Excessive tourism is arguably a resource curse, and I hope Southern European economies in particular take this opportunity to rebalance.
Well, developers can fight all they want to. I was the dev lead at a company that had to be HIPAA compliant. My neck was on the line if we were found to be out of compliance along with the security director and the operations people.

Now as a consultant working with many large customers, “shipping fast” is nowhere near as important as security.

Since for moderate levels of inflation (ie low double digits), stocks are inflation proof, if this actually improved competitiveness of American firms, moderate inflation would be a boon for stockholders. Big losers would be wage employers, who’d see their pay not catch up with growth of prices: this is in fact one of the core reasons we even target positive inflation in the first place, to counteract the effect of sticky wages that do not go down when necessary.

The false positive test was for antigens. Tests like that are known to be less accurate: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/coronavirus-antigen-...

The two negatives were PCR tests. Those are different from antigen tests. The blog post you've linked says there is a problem with false positives with PCR tests, but that doesn't seem to be relevant here, given that both of those results are negative.
I didn't read the article until now, it reads exactly like what I said, a capital play.

Yet shocking still, it mentions Youth Motors/Qingnian Automobile/青年汽车 as Saleen's neighbor and former plant owner, my god, this is beyond stupid.

Youth Motors made the news last years after its "tech breakthrough of cars powered by water", which in reality is just ineffcient water-to-hygrogen onboard, it became a national joke, it also received huge amounts of government investment and apprently still doing fine right now.

This is the result of local governments not having to pay their debts, it's a feast.
Aaaaah!

We have made a lot of dumb political decisions.

Much of US produce comes a few counties in California 100% dependent on the Colorado river — what are the risks with respect to climate change on reduced snowfall, etc in the Sierras? Midwest irrigation depends on aquifers that are being irreparably depleted.

On the east coast, the dominance of California produce and decline of dairy killed many forms of agriculture. The endless suburbia of New Jersey was once prime farmland, gone forever.
Absolutely, apologies.

> It's a market transaction - if both the seller and the buyer are satisfied with the price then the deal goes through at that price.

There is no magical essence to markets that justifies any agreed pricing point as the best price that ever could be. Especially under information asymmetry markets don't operate well i.e. they don't set prices as efficiently.

> It does not matter. If you are not satisfied with the offer - ask for more or walk away.

Sounds like it does matter in your argument because here you are constructing a satisfaction criteria that hinges on not knowing the other offers.

If knowing other offers changes your satisfaction level, was it really an objectively satisfying offer in the first place?

> Yeah, I gave an example in the post you replied to: the unskilled labor market

I was thinking more of labor markets in some European countries, which are not at all exclusive to unskilled positions, e.g even includes managerial positions. I think there might be some sort of confirmation bias here preventing the acceptance of the possibility that some labor markets do have transparent compensation for even highly skilled positions and they work OK.

If the sale of debt is targeted towards someone vulnerable, as your dying of thirst in the desert example is, then that is immoral. However, the entire system that allows anyone to go into debt is not immoral, and it is generally not targeted. As long as there is no lying and obfuscation, you reap the consequences you make.

You should no more expect someone not to collect debt than you should expect to walk out of Walmart with whatever you want. If someone needs charity, that should be supplied OUTSIDE the normal system (non-profits, governments, friends and family), otherwise the system itself is ripe for abuse.

> And if China didn't take any IP they would continue to be massively under-developed and just a source of cheap labor, be cause there's no way in hell US companies would have willingly fostered higher skills, higher pay there.

We sell the training for those skills to anyone willing to pay as part of a huge education industry. You can just buy the textbooks on amazon or get many of them along with any other materials for free.

Smaller countries in the west who couldn't possibly stand up the the big "bully" economies, and less developed regions like the US south, all have developed right up the cutting-edge with everyone else. They became developed by simply playing the game according to the rules. The real problem with developing countries is the ability tofollow those rules. The culture isn't fully-formed yet and some people are unclear on the line between stealing/scamming versus legitimate business. That doesn't mean stealing and scamming are a necessary part of development. It's the corruption that holds it back. Economic growth is based on people taking risks and making deals, which needs security and trust between them.
It’s not always about even being malicious. At my last company I was an admin. But I locked myself down so I wouldn’t make a stupid mistake.

In the past, both Apple and Google made mistakes in their installers that if anyone else did it, people would assume it was malicious.

There was a bug in the iTunes installer that erased files on people’s hard disk if there was a space in the name.

There was also a bug in the Chrome installer that made your hard drive unbootable if you had system integrity protection turned off.
VPA is used for discoverability across UPI clients. Phone numbers can be used for discoverability among users of a single client. For eg: foobar@icici on Google Pay & baz@hdfc on PhonePe can transact with each other, but can't use phone numbers. But +91-1234567890 & +91-9876543210 can discover & transact only if they are both on either PhonePe or Google Pay or any other client application. QR Codes were initially client-specific too, but now they are scannable across apps.

UPI truly is a revolution. I can have a 6Rs chai tea (8 cents) from a road side tea stall and pay using UPI with zero transaction fees.
Former interpersonal skills trainer here.

The comments have a lot of good suggestions. I would like to reinforce the emphasis on listening, and the idea of practicing one skill until you have it down, and then moving on to another. Also it is good to take a training course where you actually practoce the skills under the guidance of a teacher.

Also it is good to think afterwards about an interaction that went good or bad, reviewing as close to word-for-word if you can, and see what you can learn that you can use in the future. Also think of situations you have a hard time handling and see if you can think of how the skills you are learning can help, and again plan out what you might say word-for-word, and run though it a number of times, maybe even out loud, to make it more automatic.

Some Good Practices Regarding Version Control
A MIDI sequencer just outputs MIDI instructions, it doesn't generate sound unless it implements a synth (sound generator) of some sort.

You'd need to install something like loopMIDI, and direct the output of the sequencer to the input of a VST host, where you can load whatever synths you want.
Try opening YouTube in an incognito tab and start watching a few videos (on say, cooking). You'll notice the recommended videos on the homepage gets very accurate very fast.

The algorithms behind recommendation engines are well understood. Companies can and do invest huge amounts into making their algorithms better and it yes, it definitely takes a lot of effort to tweak and refine the algorithm to make the overall experience addictive and relevant.

But the seemingly widely held idea that TikTok builds better recommendation algorithms than other companies (including Facebook's News Feed) doesn't seem to stand up to scrutiny.

I've found the first step to any self-development project is observation.

Give yourself a free pass for a few weeks or a few months. Your only job: observe yourself.

Observe yourself getting nervous. Overwhelmed. Awkward. Behaving in a way that seems unnatural.

Journal what you find. Journal how you feel when you find yourself in these different situations.

You will feel like an idiot when you do this. That it's a waste of time. This process isn't intuitive, but it is life-changing if you're willing to be honest with yourself.

If you take this seriously, you'll find that most of your fears and awkwardness and inhibitions are the result of past experiences, more specifically, your perceptions of past experiences.

If you can develop the stomach to live in reality, you will be on the cusp of real life change.

Once you've taken an inventory of where you're at, you can begin to implement the things you're learning.

Is anybody still seriously saying trickle-down is valid?
That was the primary reason I paid off a collection in a lump sum a month ago (the expected significant credit repair from a delete). Sure getting a 1200 dollar stimulus check made it a lot easier to drop a thousand in one go, but if pra wasn't pay for delete I would have saved that in my emergency fund, and either never paid since my credit was already damaged or paid some small monthly payment for the next two years (to not get sued).

I suppose the thing to know would be how many people are just paying because they have extra money and just assume paying it consigns it to Oblivion.

That video basically mentions three things: fairing size, vertical integration and the fact that SpaceX's rockets in reusable mode don't lift as much as competitors. This contract pays SpaceX to fix the first two issues and the third can be solved by using the SpaceX rocket in expendable mode.

I designed a matching algorithm for a dating website - okcupid - just before dating my (now) wife.

I met with their CTO and convinced him it’d work over lunch at Mary Chung’s. He gave me the keys to the source so I could start the implementation.

Unfortunately, for OKC, I met my wife with a manual implementation of the algorithm. And thereby lost all time and inclination to continue.

There are a lot of transactions that don't need that protection, and it's crazy to have to pay for it on those transactions too. You want to by a 5c emoji for use on a social network?

If you're writing an autocompleter, you have the bigger problem that it has to function when the program isn't valid syntax, or is valid syntax but has just plain contradictory type information and doesn't typecheck. Non-terminating typechecking seems easy to handle in comparison.
Japan's worldwide reputation was "garbage, low-quality stuff" until the 1960s. That's not a "very long tradition".

"At first, Japan had a widely held reputation for shoddy exports, and their goods were shunned by international markets"

For a pop-culture example look at the Back To The Future movie where the 1955 version of Dr. Brown says "No wonder this circuit failed. It says 'Made in Japan'." The 1985 version of Marty says "What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan."
As long as you do it as part of a user gesture it should work. Make sure the actual play() is called from within the context of a touch/mouse event, that should be enough.
Japan and South Korea were both known for cheap low quality goods in the 60s/70s. We've seen how that history plays out once they got enough experience to move up the value chain.
I have always been curious about FPGAs and I think I understand the concept, but what could someone provide some use cases for why you might want one (that aren’t calculating SHA-1 hashes)?

NYC/SF may also give you a skewed perspective about 2-bedroom apartments being reasonable places to live. Where single family house ownership is readily available to the middle class, multifamily rental stock is decidedly not middle class.

They have their own Voice API, but they use Google's. They have their own location API, but they use Google's ('use my location' sends your info to Google in Firefox). They have thrown Google analytics into browser components before, and used it on their own websites.
