>The central bank have not power to stimulate the economy in this situation, that's the reason central bankers are pushing the governments to spend directly.

Sounds very political for a supposedly independent central banking system!

This system is a disgrace and is governed by unelected technocrats who are able to yield a crazy amount of power over the economy without ever being subject to inquiries from the public, all in the interest of experimenting on the population with highly questionable economic models.

In my opinion we would never have been in this situation in the first place were it not for the artificial credit growth and consequent boom caused by central bankers.

Inflation is not just a term that we can define how we like, it's an economic official indicator ergo, there is not discussion possible about if has happened or not.

You are talking about a bubble.
> There's a simple reason the Fed doesn't clear up this confusion...

There is no confusion, the term is called "monetizing debt" where they create 'money' out of thin air to buy government debt from banks who then use this money to create even more money via fractional reserve lending.
Look no further, after playing around with TimescaleDB, there are no updates anymore and we can put this problem into a vacuum :)
Lower f-number means that lens captures more light and has less depth-of-field (more blurred background and foreground). For small sensors like in iPhone DoF is huge anyway and planes separation has to be faked in post-processing. In general less f-number is better.

Terrific read, thank you. I'd be interested in seeing an economist's take on the viability and effectiveness of forcing industries to deal with their own externalities.
> how are you doing "They can purchase a commercial license to remove the copyleft restrictions"?

This is incorrect. If you own copyright on something you can transfer those rights to other people in any way you want.

I can give you a copy of my software under AGPL and another copy under a completely different license and the two things are independent from each other.

There isn't a "remove the copyleft restrictions" mechanism.

You can simply give out a new copy with a closed license that allows, for example, execution as a service, static linking, dynamic linking but no copy.

Data migrations aren't that hard if you know every system with access to the database. You just need to run the old and the new system in parallel during the migration, ensure you write to both and read from both. Ensure that all tests still pass if you switch source of truth to the new database. At first you treat the old one as the source of truth in production, keep track of how often they disagree, migrate data slowly so you don't overload your database and crash them, after migration disagreements should be 0, then switch source of truth to the new database and remove the migration code, then turn down the old database. Congratulations, you now have migrated data without downtime!

There is no special tooling for this since there can't be, you just have to roll up your sleeves and do the dirty work needed. It isn't hard, just a bit tedious if you want to do it properly. A junior developer can do it.

As it pertains to reaching consensus, everything in the "Basic Paxos" section of the article is the same for Raft as it is Paxos. Raft can be seen as instance of Paxos with different terminology and prescribed solutions for leader elections, solving dueling leader issues, and persisting past outcomes.

Here's a nice paper on this that dives deeper into the matter and also shows how Paxos can be just as "understandable" as Raft with a few vocabulary changes: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.05074.pdf
If you book an airline ticket, odds are under the hood you're hitting an IBM TPF application (prolly PARS/IPARS). When I was involved in that world 20 some-odd years ago the programmers would regularly show me files with 'last modified' in the 80's and 90's. These aren't things that someone casually modifies, and I would expect you'd find an awful lot of the same even now.
I'm not sure how you took that from the paragraph. What they're saying is that biological sex is a real, valid concept to biologists. No biologist is going to be called a bigot for saying that biological sex is a thing. (However, in non-academic contexts this statement is used by bigots as a dog-whistle. It's pretty darn obvious when this happens though.)
Insofar as other countries are blamed for failing to “contain” the virus, yes, China did originate it.

> Those injuries, fatal and nonfatal, would _not_ have happened in a world without cars.

This isn't true. If you require auto manufacturers to be responsible for auto deaths and they decide to get out of business, then what? Trains? But won't the train manufacturers be held responsible for train-related deaths? Then you have the same problem, just with trains rather than autos. At that point, you either keep whittling things down until some mode of transportation is cheap and safe enough (but potentially very sub-optimal along other vectors) or everyone walks and goods don't get anywhere, which has its own cost in lives.

> A portion of them would not have happened without car ads and popular culture that makes driving fast and irresponsibly look cool.

I'd argue that this is both a tiny proportion of deaths and a tiny influence. Despite this advertisement and culture, the vast majority of people are responsible/reasonable (if unskilled and/or ignorant) drivers.

I think governments could reduce the number of deaths far more greatly by having more stringent licensing guidelines (including regular re-testing), safer roads, saner zoning policies, better public transit options, etc. than by silencing any speech that suggests a correlation between speed and fun.

> I think we can do better.

Certainly. However, I'm not convinced removing agency from individuals and ascribing fault to entities with no direct (and at best marginal indirect) control over specific or aggregated situations will get us there.
Thanks for your perspective! Although I was referring to something a bit different — the state limiting the rights of people to grow and sell their own food, except for certain limited varieties.

You may be "selling ornamental plants" today, but surely, only as long as the government looks the other way. You could be "criminals" tomorrow if the authorities changed their minds.

I can think of few more fundamental rights than the ability to grow food to feed yourself and your community.

Other governments round the world, and through history, have taken this to logical extremes. I'm don't want to turn this into a slippery-slope argument, but there are some slopes you just shouldn't step on.
Start with Tiny Products
I didn't start with 10 years of experience in the industry or by being genius. I started by exploring. It is the path that we take which is the interesting part in life, not the end of the road.

When I first thought about Open Startup List, it was from pure interest in learning, and thinking broad and "out of the box".

When I set out to build the idea, while other similar sites existed, it was my way to express what I wanted that differentiated my website than the rest out there, and it is the work I had put into it that made it surface above other websites in the genre.

It started really tiny, at first it was just a simple list with open startups but later it evolved into a blog and was featured in many places including getting featured in a tech magazine.

The hype was huge around this, what I call - a tiny product, that eventually after being approached by a buyer, that spiked my interest in selling, I listed it and sold it to another entrepreneur.

Later I've written an E-Book about my experiences and takeaways, which is now on AppSumo.

All of this wouldn't be possible if I wouldn't set my mind on trying and being out there.

So I encourage each of you to give your best and be the best you can.

Plus, don't forget to enjoy life and appreciate your close ones. Life is too short to focus just on success.

For anyone interested, my book is called Start With A Side-Project.

>- PC: 10s of millions

According to one source[1], steam alone has 95 million monthly active users. Not every pc gamer has steam running, so actual PC gamers are definitely in excess of 100 million. By comparison, ps plus and xbox live have 103 and 90 million monthly active users respectively. I'd say that PC and console gaming are within the same order of magnitude.

> I always understood that for a telephoto lens you wanted the f-stop number to be higher, so that the image is clearer since the subject is at a greater distance.

You want the lowest f-stop number possible for telephoto, so you have more available light hitting the sensor. This allows you to get a higher shutter speed. The higher shutter speeds compensate for the exaggerated shake you get from the longer lens.
When I was in high school, I had to pass a "functional writing test" in order to graduate. It was graded on objective criteria not entirely unlike this: thesis, topic sentences, supporting sentences, etc.

I nearly failed it, and apparently I'm far from the only one[1]. If you didn't follow the format, more like filling out a form than actual writing, then you didn't get the full points, no matter how well it was written by more subjective standards.

That wasn't the only problem, but it was certainly one. They ditched the test because a lot of people were failing it.

I'd look for a mid/senior level role at a medium sized company (200-500 employees). Big enough that you'll learn how to write scalable, maintainable code, and work with a team... but small enough that the breadth of your work brings solid value to them and justifies a title that matches the number of years you have been doing this.
They are definitely cutting costs, though, in storage and shipping. Which is fine. Amazon doesn't even ship a cable with the Kindle, which is much more annoying as my Paperwhite has been the last micro USB device I've owned for several years.
> The are raising prices from $12 to $20, not exactly "killing". But Google and "killing" in the same sentence is more attractive, I get it.

If you have to have to work with a sales representative to buy it, and you have to make requests to google to get your quota increased, those are some significant barriers. It's fair to consider that a distinct offering and not just a price change.

Also if this page is accurate then you need to pay $100 just to be able to request more storage. https://workspace.google.com/terms/user_features.html

> So they are enforcing a limit they didn't enforce before.

This is a new limit that applies for any number of users. If you had 5 or more users, it's a significant change in terms.
I take 100micrograms a day. How does this relate to the IU unit used here?
A lot of them come in 5000 iu or 10,000 iu capsules. So 1 or 2 a day.
We use Vega-lite. We really like it. After using hodgepodge of different libraries we've settled on this one. (I've used D3, C3, highcharts and some others)

The documentation on features is kinda ok (vega lite sets a lot of defaults). but it works really well. Vega is more full featured but more difficult. The ability to be able to easily add download as SVG and PNG is fantastic.

You can open an example and play with the configuration online. (Click on an example and find the link to "edit online")

Vega lite is built ontop of D3 I think.

not even two months ago there was a big HN discussion about a blog post, including comments here by the author:

https://www.devaboone.com/post/vitamin-d-part-2-shannon-s-st...

which would appear to contradict this article quite directly, if I'm reading correctly (I'm a know-nothing here taking 2000 iu /day, just trying to understand the topic)?

"Her Vitamin D was low at the time, so her physician started her on over-the-counter Vitamin D supplementation at 5000 international units (IUs) daily. Five years later, she was still on this dose, and her blood Vitamin D level had risen to 79 ng/ml. This level is within what many labs call the normal range, between 30 and 100 ng/ml, but levels above 70 are almost always a result of high dose supplementation, and I have seen toxicity with levels between 70 and 100 ng/ml. (A better “normal range” based on what I have seen would probably be between 30 and 60.) "

The linked article seems to be using nmol/L units as opposed to ng/ml so multiplying by 2.5 doesnt seem to be working out for me, someone who knows something have any comparison between these two?
> I always understood that for a telephoto lens you wanted the f-stop number to be higher,

I suspect you are confusing f-stop (ratio of aperture diameter to focal length) and focal length ("zoom").

Also the f-stop marketing is annoying to me - the f/2.4 aperture on an iPhone lens is probably equivalent to like f/22 on an FF lens for most purposes.
Unfortunately the linked site (https://wevotesafely.org/) was incorrect for my county. We currently have early voting in one location (not the single location indicated, a few blocks off), and will have 6 locations (around 100K in the county) on 11/3 and anyone can vote at any location (not the usual policy and less than the usual number of locations.)

Are you saying that DeepMind should have to pay royalties to the Go players whose games were used as training material for AlphaGo? Should the same apply to human players who study others' games as training material?

(Obviously, it's a moot point for AlphaZero which was trained solely via self-play, and kind of puts a spanner in the works for Jaron Lanier's views particularly if unsupervised machine learning displaces supervised machine learning as the dominant tool)

I don't understand how they can keep people in line. It takes one to talk, and the whole organization is at risk.

Online "reputation management" is easy work, it's a very grey area, and it would take a lot of investigation to reveal that someone has actually been targeted and attacked.

But take medication sellers, the covers are great, but it only takes one customer to brag about it and then it's a matter of time until you're done. Anything said online will come under the review of authorities sooner or later.

If we are do delve deeper, real world hits are even riskier. And they don't pay enough! Sure, I guess the people at the top of these organizations make serious dough, but the ones doing the work are paid peanuts.

I guess it takes a special kind of person to do that, someone with a death wish, nothing to lose, and probably a massive hate boner for something.

I've always been fascinated by the criminal "underworld", even though I would never participate in anything, too much risk for too little reward.

If you make public comments often real names don't really matter. My coworkers know who I am here even though I've never told them - it isn't hard to sort out what I say here and conversations in the office.

In short, if you really are in a at risk group you need to stay off the internet, everything you do adds to your risk that you are tracked. It doesn't matter much effort you take to hide your tracks (which everyone should take anyway...), if you have a reason to worry you need to get off the internet.

The ball example is insufficient and misleading. It is unfortunately too simple as you need 3 inputs and 2 output to demonstrate the effect (aka Mermin device).

The way to think about it is a box with 3 buttons. There is no such thing as 'observation', the only way you can interact is to push one of the 3 buttons and as a result the box will output either a red or green light.

You must push a button to get the light, but the button may mutate the internal state of the box. Using this model, there's nothing special about human or conscious observation. Every interaction via a particle or otherwise is simply pushing a button.

The crazy thing is.. no matter how clever an algorithm you write to drive the lights from the buttons, you cannot match the observed probabilities. (100% if the same button is pushed, 25% if different buttons are pushed).

Ok, so you accept that people do in fact have different interpretations about what constitutes free speech. But somehow you believe that your specific, personal interpretation is the absolutely correct one? Why? If you ask 100 people where the line is between harassment and legitimate criticism, you will get 100 different answers. What makes your answer correct and the other 100 answers incorrect? You refer to "widely accepted definition", as if a dictionary definition could somehow be applied to real world situations to judge whether an expression is harassment or not. Maybe it can be in _extreme_ cases, like if someone said "gays should be killed" we could easily judge that as harassment, or if someone says "i like cats" we could easily judge it as not harassment. But there's a huge gray area where expressions can be interpreted either way and it's up to each individual to assess whether they feel like an expression is harassment or not.

While I'm a big fan of Vitamin D in general, one thing to watch out for is that while this paper cites meta-analysis of associations of serum levels of 25(OH)D and ACM as an argument for supplementation:

Garland, Cedric F., June Jiwon Kim, Sharif Burgette Mohr, Edward Doerr Gorham, William B. Grant, Edward L. Giovannucci, Leo Baggerly, et al. “Meta-Analysis of All-Cause Mortality According to Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D.” American Journal of Public Health 104, no. 8 (August 2014): e43–50. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2014.302034.

Recent meta-analysis seems to suggest that supplementation is not associated with lower ACM. In that case, Vitamin D would be primarily a marker for poor outcomes, not the actual primary cause.

n=75,454 "Vitamin D supplementation alone was not associated with all cause mortality in adults compared with placebo or no treatment. Vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of cancer death by 16%. Additional large clinical studies are needed to determine whether vitamin D3 supplementation is associated with lower all cause mortality."
