I think UK is a different issue - GB (England + Wales + Scotland) is not the same as UK (GB + Nothern Ireland).
I've always thought of the gold prices as a fear index.
I don’t understand why this post is being down-voted as it clearly states one of the foundations of socialism.

A quick (and very) simplified summary of the traditional socialist perspective is that in capitalism, the vast majority of the population must work as wage-earners (proletariat) to provide the means to sustain their life.

A much smaller group of people (capitalists or bourgeoisie) own the means of production and do not need to work. The material interests of these two groups are in opposition (class struggle): value is created by work done (labour theory of value) and it is in the interest of capitalist owners to exploit workers as much as possible, i.e., maximise the amount of value they can extract as profit.

As economic value is created by the labour of workers, in an advanced industrial society, they are the class with the potential to consolidate this economic power: if they were to unite (in unions and socialist parties), they could use this economic power to take political power from the capital class. The goal of the socialist is to unite workers across boundaries so that they understand that their material interests coincide with other workers (class consciousness) – what they have in common is more important than what divides them. If workers don’t see that their material interests lie with the vast majority who have to work to live, the class will remain divided (as illustrated by the Ronald Wright quote).

As well as these two primary classes, there are other (smaller) classes in capitalist society, such as

- petit-bourgeoisie (small capitalists who own their means of production, e.g. shop-keeper) who can employ workers but don’t possess sufficient capital to not have to work themselves. Their class interests can lie with both capitalist and worker.

- lumpen proletariat – the underclass of the proletariat who don’t provide economic value, e.g., thieves, beggars, criminals; they lack class consciousness and act in their individual self-interest; they can be used by capitalists against the interests of the proletariat (e.g., strike-breaking, inciting racism to divide workers).
Krugman argues that there’s a special nature to the bond-gold relationship but I would argue that it’s because gold is an asset of last resort. The only thing special is that bonds have typically been an asset of last resort, but governments have sort-of taken them off the table in crisis situations.
Source? That would be great news, but I can't find anything.
You would have to be literally retarded to not figure out how to wear an N95 mask. They fit most people, at least clean shaven ones. You just have to bend the metal nose band to fit your nose and maybe go around the edges of the mask with your fingers. Yes some tiny percentage of people probably have oddly shaped faces and they won't be able to wear them, but that doesn't mean the other 99.9% of the population cannot.
The converse involves temporarily embarrassed Bolshevik central planners.

The truth is that any system has winners calling the shots and losers at their mercy. What matters is figuring out which system (or blend of systems) produces the best outcomes for its worst off constituents.
True story! But the problem i see here is a bad implementation of agile that unfortunately a majority of teams have. That's why they are stuck on meetings forever and ever. Been there done that :) Agile practices (the real ones) are similar to DevOps ones, and CI/CD is a major part of them. Automation will bring you far along.
Interesting. Seems like a Typescript for Lua. The Roblox platform is a great testing platform for it I am sure.
Ask HN: Is BUPA's 'opt-out by email' legal?
https://www.bupa.co.uk/health/health-assessments/forms/health-assessments-contact

The form at the above url contains the following statement:

"If you don’t want to receive marketing about Bupa products and services that we think are relevant to you, please contact us at optmeout@bupa.com"

Does anyone know if this is actually legal?
I have some gold and the storage is more expensive than I thought :)
Gold is a poor asset no matter how you turn it. Most people don’t hold physical gold when they trade in it. If the current financial system were to fail, do you really believe that people will begin taking delivery of their physical gold positions in their garages? They’ll simply get wiped out, and that will be the end of it.

Even barring a catastrophic nosedive in the level of civilized trading, regular people aren’t equipped to store gold in their homes. The problem of securing such holdings isn’t something the average Joe will be able to solve well, and he knows it.
The Rails/Ruby community has probably the most developed testing culture out of all the programming communities out there, because tests are so critical when you're writing in a dynamic backend language. You don't have the built-in "tests" from a compiler that check every argument and method reference. And then you don't have as fast and obvious a feedback loop as you do with frontend languages.

I don't think thats true, I think internally Google uses ipv6, see for example https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/lisa11/tech/full_papers... about end users, but I believe the data centers are also ipv6 internally.
Why is it shaped like this?
Why the fire seems to be not exactly in center and how it managed to keep balance with that?
Imagine someone saying, in 2001 that they're adding IPv4 support.

Laughable, right?

IPv6 was available in Windows 2000. Just saying.
We are talking about a financial system reboot. Gold has been valuable since civilization existed.

In a normal environment it will not outperform.
Not really. If that was true, stocks would be tanking but they're also at a high. There's just a lot money around and low interest rates so all assets increase in price. I just wonder how long that can last for and how it will end.
Food spoils too fast. Guns and ammo are not legal to purchase for most. Fuel is a better asset, but takes a lot of space. One good thing about gold is that it's compact.
This got me thinking.

If our currencies and financial system were completely based off the value of gold and/or other precious metals where the amount on the planet is finite, wouldn't this eventually cause the opposite of inflation where the prices of goods and services go down as less and less gold is available as the population grows?

Wouldn't that also mean that wealth inequality and hoarding of gold make things even cheaper as less and less can afford to buy/sell at higher prices?
Nice!

Gold price soaring represents the failure of the political establishment to manage a fiat currency. Populist proclamations via money printing, corporate welfare, and the corrupt dismantling of the rule of law (basically stealing TikTok for example) will only aid in the descent of the current fiat system into new lows and hence take gold into all time highs.
When you live in a country that was founded on racism, Jim Crow and redlining, where the president is saying we need to "take back the suburbs" (for white people only), how do you react to that? "Not my problem?"

When you see 1% of tech founders are black, you think that's just their preference? They don't feel like founding tech companies? Or do majority white VCs not offer them funding, and their majority white peer group doesn't take them seriously? Or maybe it's because Black households have tens of thousands of dollars less wealth on average because of discrimination
I think he's right about all the security arguments. It is definitely nice to have properly reproducible builds from a build system point of view though. Things like ccache would work a lot more reliably.
Really disappointed they didn't use a wireless network of some kind.
> What isn’t clear is what benefit the reproducibility provides.

The ability to cache build artefacts is a pretty huge benefit for my work.
Had the same thought that something like this should exist every time I've found myself having to waste an afternoon putting social content together for someone. But obviously didn't care enough to go any make it myself.

Great work, you'll be on to a winner here if you nail the workflow. I'd say you really have to focus on building it as a tool for larger social media teams to bash out iterations when driving conversions little creators is fine but the real money will be in that and you can charge a lot more for it.

You know what Figma has done for templating/design systems within a team with it's strong internal asset libraries. Things like that for social media teams to work from the same sheet on assets are going to be key.

They're correct that the "In mathematical terms" version of it is wrong (even for addition, if one is negative). It's missing fl()'s around the other a's and b's. Your statement is greatly superior than the poor man's version presented in the article.
Wanting to make unequal things equal is a common mistake that I hoped we have learned to avoid at some point. That was plain wrong. Of course some demographics might have had a head start, but over a long period of time the numbers should equalize.

Some diagnose systemic issues and some apply positive discrimination, which is just discrimination with a supposedly correct reason.

I think it is unhelpful, builds animosity and I disagree with the generally accepted orthodoxy in that field.

We actually see that more free societies show more unequal distributions of demographics in some fields. Until there is an explanation, I regard these ambitions as unscientific and dogmatic.

To discriminate against white or asian people for injustices of the past is real racism and real discrimination. If we want to get rid of racism, you need to get rid of people perpetuating it first. Otherwise it become a self fulfilling prophecy.
Silicon Valley did in fact inherit discrimination. Whether from its native California (https://immigrants.harpweek.com/ChineseAmericans/2KeyIssues/...), or the Valley’s direct founders from the East Coast (http://eugenicsarchive.ca/discover/connections/531fdd2913215...). Silicon Valley has always had a problem with discrimination and is doing as little to address that problem now as ever.
Haskellers regularly hear complaints of the form "you should have called it 'Mappable' instead of 'Functor' -- that would have made it much easier to understand" or "you should have called it 'Chainable' instead of 'Monad' -- that would have made it much easier to understand", so I don't think we can say that this purely comes from a position of assumed superiority.
Yes, this is part of the reasoning Nixon ditched Bretton Woods and unpegged the dollar from gold.
I think OP is coming from a different perspective than I (corporate bespoke solution builder) do. When I say "reproducible build" I mean a build that is the same on any machine (i.e. no special magic necessary to build a "official" version of the code). Too often in corporate environments, getting a local build or setting up a new build pipeline involves arcane black magic and/or copy/pasting weird libraries that can't be pulled from any sort of "official" repository. curl/bash libraries that "automatically change versions" based on when upstream decides to change them can wreak havok when setting up a new build environment. My $0.02, it's not (in the corporate world) so much about validating binaries, but more about "how many steps beyond check out the code" exist and how easily can I validate my binary uses the same versions of libraries/dependencies as the one that a local developer tested?

This is so annoying. Our app requires HTTPS when not in debug mode. If you run the app locally and accidentally forget to turn on debugging then it will try to redirect to HTTPS. Firefox sees this and then from then on tries to force HTTPS, even after you've restarted the app with debugging. And now you simply can't access the non-HTTPS local site and I have no idea how to make Firefox forget about the HTTPS redirect. Infuriating.

And I've been on several residential ISPs where IPv4 was unusable during peak netflix hours, likely because people were blindly disabling IPv6 on their devices.
What complexity? Devices being autoconfigurable without DHCP is less complex. Having no NAT is less complex. Having a public IP is less complex. You just got used to the complexity of IPv4.

Why the hell would you block IPv6. You ARE stuck in your ways. OS vendors consider it necessary on LAN for various functionality.
You don't need to think hard about massively asymmetric payoffs.

Now what if you needed a something like a $5k licence to wear the helmet. Would you feel like thinking harder and analysing further than you did? Most interesting decisions are more like this.

"Possibly saves my life" is your prior there, btw.

The arguments "don't follow." Reproducible builds were indeed more than once used to verify that the published binary does correspond to the published source.

Without having them, that kind of verification is much harder, depending on the build setup used, it can be even too hard to be achieved at all.

So we do have clear advantages of having the build infrastructure which results in reproducible builds, and I don't see anything that can substitute that.

The argument "if you build yourself from the sources, your build is then trusted" is not reflecting the reality. Most of the users are never going to build from the sources. Having reproducible builds, only a few people have to build from the sources to verify the binaries for the vast majority. Not to mention that without reproducibility, you can't even know if your own build environment is misconfigured.
Mozilla is no longer in a position to make such a change. Unfortunately, it's very unlikely that management will care in most cases and the errors resulting from this will be blamed on FF and not on the site in question.
It will after the Covid-19 crisis. It's not 'if', it's 'when'.
While I agree that much is on the web developers, there is also management to blame for not allowing time for fixes, until stuff is truly broken and lies in pieces.
Azure's IPv6 "support" saddens me. It's just painful how minimal their support is.

For one, they NAT all IPv6 traffic.

Let that sink in. Let it percolate. Mull over the fact that the entire purpose of IPv6 is to eliminate NAT, and that it's practically impossible to get an IPv6 NAT-ing network device.

Microsoft must have had to write their own, custom network load balancers to NAT IPv6. It's madness.

Oh, if that's not bad enough, they also hand out ludicrously small /124 ranges of just 16 addresses. Sixteen! Not sixteen trillion or some crazy huge number like that, which is what I've got on my home internet. Sixteen. Six and ten.

But no worries, right? Just allocate more blocks! Bzzt... that would run up against the subscription IP limits with just 100 addresses.

Okay, fine, just because my lab environment needed more than a couple of addresses doesn't mean that everybody is so wasteful with the precious IPv6 address pool. Some people can constrain themselves to just a handful of addresses, and don't have a problem with any of the above.

Except that when Azure finally adds proper, native IPv6 support, whatever work their early adopter customers have done will have to be thrown out and redone. Subnets. DNS addresses. Load balancer rules. NAT rules. Security Groups. Everything will have to be revisited.

So why would you bother?

The biggest concern with these is they're observational, not controlled and randomized. It's therefore risky to say they prove HCQ had positive effect, because there's no control for, for example, the possibility that doctors are prescribing HCQ to patients who would get better anyway. Detroit Free Press has details (including why Henry Ford has backed off on the study). https://www.freep.com/story/news/health/2020/08/03/henry-for...

The average person doesn't understand the difference between these studies (which, at most, indicate to the medical community that "hey, there's correlation here, a full double-blind study is probably justified") and double-blind, controlled studies (which can tease out confounding effects to demonstrate a correlation is likely causal), which is why HCQ has become such a controversial topic. At best, the answer to the question of whether HCQ helps fight COVID-19 is "it might."

I use the SDK of the platform being targeted.

Meaning on Windows, whatever is available out of the box alongside VS, usually .NET languages or C++.

If Java is the platform, then Java itself.

On Android, Java and C++. Kotlin if any of the new Kotlin only APIs is to be used.

On Apple platforms, nowadays Swift and C++.

For Web projects, vanillaJS with JavaScript, unless something like Angular is asked for, then Typescript.

And so forth, basically platform tech.

Also take into consideration whatever the customer has in place, and if something else is not requested, that whatever is already part of production.

It's guaranteed not to happen in the short to mid-term.

Rising interest rates during a recession when the economy is massively over-leveraged and even the low-interest debt can barely be serviced would result in an even greater wave of defaults.

Low interest rates and QE are here to stay. The dollar will depreciate significantly, easing the burden of debtors and making American labor more competitive. Good for exports, bad for people who earn a dollar salary.

Gold appreciating (in dollar terms) is just a side-effect of this development.

I guess it depends on whether the company with your precious metal in a vault chooses to honour your piece of paper or not. I guess the trick is to tap the "ship me my gold now" button before Mr Robot wipes their database.
I agree some people do that. But not everyone who says "this state of the world is just, because <something you disagree with>" is doing that. How do you tell the people who are doing that apart from the people who just disagree with you in this instance?

It seems to me that you're accusing people of a pattern of "mistakenly seeing the world as just". But your only evidence for this is one case of them mistakenly seeing the world as just; and in that case, you haven't even put in the work to show that they're actually mistaken.

(edit - for that matter, how many people even think this state of the world is just? From skimming, I can't see anyone explicitly saying it is. The author of the comment that triggered this subthread explicitly disclaims it.)

I went on Nukemap and twiddled the yield until the radius of overpressure damage roughly matched the damage seen in the footage.

I arrived at 0.25 +/- 0.1 kT before the 2750T figure came out. That's in line with TNT-equivalent efficiency of AN and incomplete reaction due to scattering.

Tragically, this suggests a much higher death toll than currently reported. I am not sure if nukemap factors local population density; fortunately the epicenter was a sparsely populated pier.

Yes. It offers better scalability! E.g. at my university, our institute has its own IPv4 /24. That means a maximum of ~253 or so devices. We have exhausted that number and for every new client, an old one has to go. Now with a /64 this would be no problem at all.
To mitigate this the IT department is currently using VLAN-tagging for some of the devices. But it gets convoluted. And the more convoluted it gets, the higher is the chance for misconfiguration, errors, and security issues. Yet, they don't want to make the switch to IPv6 already.

"While sitting in the shoeshine chair, Kennedy Sr. was alarmed to have the shoeshine boy gift him with several tips on which stocks he should own — yes, a shoeshine boy playing the stock market.

This unsolicited advice resulted in a life-changing moment for Kennedy Sr. who promptly went back to his office and started unloading his stock portfolio.

In fact, he didn’t just get out of the market, he aggressively shorted it — and got filthy rich because of it during the epic crash that soon followed.

They don’t ring bells at the top, but apparently when shoeshine boys start giving stock advice it is time to head for the exits."

I don't know about the 'formal' description of reproducible builds used in the article from a security perspective, but I do know that having the exact same output locally as is being built by a deployment process makes debugging a lot more straightforward because it removes the subtle and hard-to-discover problem of having slightly different library versions in your application making things perform differently.

It depends. Once the coronavirus is defeated, it will have accelerated the economic cycle downturn, we might see a very deep and long recession, maybe even one like we have not seen in recent centuries.

And since the world is progressing in a direction of depletion of natural resources, the next deep recession might be the last.

We have seen many recoveries after many recessions, but there is no guarantee that there is a recovery. Sooner or later the earth will be in such a bad condition, that it will be impossible to recover.
