>Ikea for the most part, with some exceptions, comes across as cheap and disposable

I wouldn't really call IKEA furniture "disposable". I've had my glass IKEA desk since like 2006 or something. And even though my MARKUS chair recently broke down, I did have it for 5+ years and I got it exchanged for a working one under warranty as it has one for 10 years.

I think most of my stuff is from IKEA and that pretty much all of it beats stuff from other stores at the same price range. My TV stand is quite nice and robust and only cost me like 120 euro. I only found really shit, low-quality alternatives for the same price where the doors didn't have any soft closing and there were no ready-made holes for cable management.

I doubt that has anything to do with it. Zoom almost certainly handles composing the image for gallery view server-side; you're not maintaining a separate connection for each participant.
Don't you think you might be viewing this through an excessively partisan lens? Before Jerome Powell was the Fed Chair, he was a 5 year veteran of the Fed Board of Governors, having been nominated by Barack Obama. His appointment was approved in votes that included the vast majority of Democrats.

Are his dovish views all that different from his predecessors, Janet Yellen or "Helicopter Ben" Bernanke?

You seem to be insinuating that he is an undeserving lackey, something like a Betsy DeVos. But I just don't see the evidence for that.
This is really exciting for me! Apple reached out earlier this year to ask if they can use my own extension to test the conversion tool (porting from the Chrome version) and to demo it during WWDC. Of course, now I have to convert it myself for Safari 14 and distribute, but it seems straightforward. I hope RecipeFilter can expand to the major mobile browsers one day as well...

Here's a clip from WWDC where they demo the ported extension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwh2y6VkzoA

This style makes developer forget the underlying costs though. It feels productive but it is harder to understand what work computer will do. Go is designed to be imperative, so is a complementary language.
I can confirm that this is the case with both Biden and Trump ads (I've got ads from both which figures since I'm a centerist).

I miss those days. Though they went too far with the skeuomorphic design, it is a far cry better than what we have today.
> they are caused by things like weather, other drivers doing stupid things, sudden stops in traffic, etc. AI does not really improve your stopping distance in a big rig.

AI doesn't need to improve your stopping distance, just your propensity to follow by more than your stopping distance. Even simple adaptive cruise control can do that.
The content wasn't "readily available".

People were either locked at home, the libraries were closed, or else disease-ridden.

Archive.org was providing knowledge in a time of emergency when people had no other means of access to knowledge, and people who may have been out of work due to a pandemic, and thus unable to afford to buy the stuff if it even was available via mail.

It wasn't some trivial lark.
I'm not saying this isn't true (there's a lot of evidence to support this claim), however, if you read the actual report the Guardian is reporting on, all but one of their sources are Vox, NYT, WaPo. It wouldn't be controversial to say that these outlets lean left, and therefore would draw conclusions along those lines. Why didn't the Brennan Center report look at the studies directly? I think that taints the sources a bit.
> Yeah this was so sad, but I'm happy the guys that made it got paid.

I don't really sympathize with this. You build something, get a ton of people to use it, advocate for it, get their friends to use it... I think after that, you have a responsibility to those users, and selling to a company like Zoom and then peaceing out on further work does not fulfill that responsibility.

I am sincerely asking here... as long as the US dollar remains the majority reserve currency won't the US be able to successfully print its way out and basically ignore the balance sheet? If you think the US could experience repercussions while being the majority reserve currency what are the plausible scenario(s) that that would manifest itself?
People who buy $100 couch are not the ones who's going to buy $3000 couch anyway, even if IKEA doesn't exist. They --- including me --- are not going to buy, period.

Now that Fermat's Last Theorem has been proven, the Collatz conjecture is the simplest unsolved math problem. That is what makes it special. There are other unsolved problems that are at the heart of some rich field of mathematics and would be more mathematically significant to solve, like the Riemann hypothesis.
Finally a reasonable comment. I was looking for it thinking that I've gone crazy and it's only me who thinks there is not much to talk about an advertisement for an overpriced crap item. Most of those comments seem to be paid content as well as the original article.

FWIW, today's front page feature article in the local (Los Alamos) newspaper reports on municipal government progress on a 12 gigawatt, modular nuclear plant.

New Mexico derives a huge percentage of state tax revenue from natural gas from the Permian basin (southeast NM) and coal (Four Corners area, northwest NM). But there has been a huge push forward with solar and wind feeding into the grid.

Multiple projects are happening in the US, local and state governments.

Smaller nuclear power plants are coming. Part of a push away from carbon based energy.
I mean, if you had zoom installed on desktop you there's a high likelihood that you will use zoom again. By leaving that cookie, they are making the web experience better the next time you use it.

Then again, planting a 10 year cookie that can only exist when edited outside the browser's sandbox is a helluva effective long term marker for a particular person. Maybe they just want to keep tabs on you. :)
A workaround would be to implement your own backend that forward requests to the unofficial 3rd party API.

Or would Apple also block such a thing?
US monetary policy has not "failed" pretty much since Nixon. Janet Yellen's tenure is really the only blemish, but only because she didn't raise rates when we could have.

I think you're confusing the "Dual Mandate" of the Fed to minimize inflation and maximize employment with some misplaced belief in economics. Every American economist of the last century has realized these are often competing ideals. It's their raison d'etre, without it the Fed doesn't exist.

Emacs user for 20+ years here. I have written a nontrivial amount of elisp. I like emacs; and, yet, I still sometimes get confused by the difference between a window, a frame, and a buffer.

I used to think hiring people to manage social media was kind of silly unless you were some big brandname or marketing heavy organization, but it seems like a decent way to get most of the visibility benefits while avoiding the distraction related downsides, and a good opportunity to employ people. Depending how much you need to post to say relevant, I can’t imagine most modestly successful small scale businesses/authors/academics etc would find it that expensive.

I cut out social media a while ago and have never hired anybody for it, so I might be a bit out of touch/underestimating what people expect your personal involvement or frequency of posting to be like, but it seems like something a fair number of people could afford to offload.
Thanks, seeing someone else point this out makes me feel less bad about being monumentally confused.
The money is physical in the sense that people are able to extract value from it. It is given to a bank to loan out, essentially for free, and they are able to keep the interest.

So if you're a bank you basically are given free money by the government.

The parent posters point is that it the initial part of the story confusingly paints this as a way to generate "crops" of the metal almost like general farming.

But it's not mentioned for how long those metal bearing crops would potentially grow. If it was only (say) 2 seasons, it doesn't seem worthwhile. Conversely, if it would be (say) 200 years, that's a different story. :)
While the Federal Reserve talks a lot about how its rate policies have improved the economy, actual figures from inflation and unemployment don't back up any of the improvements they're claiming, and haven't for years. Now, the Fed is moving the goalposts -- saying low unemployment can no longer be a reason for a rate increase, only inflation, since inflation has also stayed lower than the target metric. As inflation generally rises when people have more money to spend, this implies that even though the unemployment figures are way down, and the stock market is way up, people and businesses aren't actually spending any more money. Why not? Simplest answer is "they don't have money to spend".
What you feel about what you don't understand, isn't really important to anyone else though.

Intermittent sources are usually quoted as peak. That is multiplied by a typical capacity factor to determine average load. For offshore wind, 60% is a reasonable number I think.
Optimistically, you could also be betting that everyone else is still underpricing the product.

The problem with trying to buy a business like TikTok at its prime is that it's trying to buy "cool". It's the most perishable commodity imaginable.

Let's assume that you manage to skate by the initial purchase process intact-- that the audience doesn't revolt en masse and say "I don't want to be associated with Walmart/Microsoft/Oracle". In a way, a unfamiliar foreign owner has a bit of mystique-- everyone in the target demographic has been in a Walmart or dealt with a Windows PC, so those brands have baggage already, whereas this was most people's first contact with ByteDance.

A lot of the potential 'synergy bonus' opportunities have to be intentionally slow-walked to avoid setting off the audience's spider-sense. Push "buy goods via TikTok" too hard, or push the wrong ad inventory because it's all you have, and users will walk away.
You're right, since the intent was the same, the effect is irrelevant. After all, most bakeries tend to stock up half a million in their cash registers. And that's not even in the nice neighbourhoods. $150k is about a lifetime of earnings in some parts of the world. This is equivalent to robbing someone of their life's earnings.
I'm certainly no fan of giant banks, but this isn't concerning breaches of bank security. The fraudsters discussed in the article are generally stealing people's credit card numbers by installing malware on their devices. Sometimes it's them putting a skimmer on ATMs, but the bank's security isn't necessarily to blame for that if they aren't the ones that operate the ATM. Sometimes it's hacking a company like Target and compromising all of their payment systems; but Target is really at fault, there.

>to make these breaches of their [bank] security the failing and responsibility of the individuals who trust the bank

It's really the opposite: the consumer fucks up, by torrenting something and running Game of Thrones.exe, or whatever, and the bank is 100% on the hook for the consumer's lack of caution. It's actually quite amazing that anyone who has their money stolen gets all of their money back if it was stolen using a credit or debit card. The banks could easily just say "unless you can prove this was our fault (and it rarely is), you're on your own", but they reimburse you with no questions asked every time.

This is due to laws, not the banks' own good will, but it's still quite a nice situation for card-holders, if they realize their card has been used without their knowledge. (Often it's the bank who detects it and informs them.) That's why the fraudsters justify the ethics of their actions: the bank takes the hit, not the card-holder.
Reminds me of a high-speed trading empire I built once in EVE Online. I got bored of the long work way of earning ISK, so I hacked the game client and built a network of accounts running in VMs, proxying their traffic through AWS to get unique IPs, all orchestrated carefully and cooperating to pull off the overall trading strategy by my central server. (hard work)

It got to the point where I had $200 billion ISK and my fortune was doubling every week. At black market conversion rates that was probably worth $20K a month if you could sell it all somehow.

However, at this point I was probably about 10% of the trading volume in all of Jita, so the game mods noticed me and banned me.

They didn't get all my accounts, just the main one, proving that my techniques for laundering game currency and using isolated VMs with their own IP was enough to prevent them from being connected.

However, at this point I didn't have the patience to do that all again, I went and got a job instead. (back to the long work)
I was really excited about this until reading about the limitations and performance. Can’t tell if I have unreasonable expectations from a device like this or it’s unnecessarily limited due to limited development resources. In any case, it’s an exciting prospect. Wonderful design, too. I’d love to try one out at least, get a sense of what it’s actually like to use it. Some reviews are pretty terrible for R1, though.
Firefox has a bookmarks sidebar that pops up if you press Ctrl+B (or buried inside the hamburger menu, but Ctrl+B is the easiest way to access it). You can put the bookmark in there, and then only open the bookmarks menu when you want to access it.
That is correct, but the current HN guidelines state that if you suspect voting-rings or other manipulation, contact the mods out-of-band and they'll attend to it. Commenting about it and accusing people of shilling solely based on their opposition to your point of view degrades the conversation every single time. The mods have more data points to correlate and can remediate if necessary.

You’re interpreting too strong of a relationship between employment and inequality as if they were inverses of each other. Assume the rate at which top earners are accumulating wealth exceeds the rate of wealth accumulation for the poor. This presents a scenario in which employment is increasing but so is inequality, because low-earners are not realizing gains at the same, or faster, rate than top-earners.

That is a completely unjustified statement. The prevailing rate of large truck fatalities in the US in 2017 was 1.6 per 100M miles which is ~1 per 60M miles [1]. The comma.ai website markets that they have driven 25M miles, so there is insufficient data to conclude that such a system would improve safety at this time.

Just to add to the mix: Michael Montgomery's "The rediscovery of the Ulster Scots language" in Englishes Around the World: General studies, British Isles, North America (1997, edited by Edgar Werner Schneider) gives the Ulster Scots "Lord's Prayer" from a promotional leaflet in 1994 as:

Yea, the point is that all the evidence we have shows the connection between inflation and employment has weakened since the 70s and is pretty tenuous right now. It theoretically exists, but its unclear what is going on in a world of both increasing automation and decreasing or stagnant productivity per worker.
There isn't one unemployment rate in the U.S., there are actually 6. What the news usually calls the unemployment rate is the U3 rate. [0] You're suggesting the U6 is a better measure, which makes sense to me, but I'm not an economist.

What I've read recently though, is that workers' expectations of inflation also play a big role in inflation. [1] The idea is that low unemployment means workers are confident and have leverage to demand pay raises that meet their inflation expectations. We may have broken inflation expectations. The Brazilians did an amazing psychological hack with the creation of the Real to fix their inflation expectations to get their inflation in check. (Though, they had the opposite problem, workers expecting very high inflation.)
