I see. Yeah I stand corrected. I am more engulfed in the origins of Cybernetics as a management theory. It was designed by Stafford Beer as just that, a Management System (not software) for companies operating in a capitalist financial economical system.
I think GP is describing scalpers in the latter part of their comment. the fact that it can be profitable for some guy to buy up a hundred GPUs and sell them at a 50% markup until the fabs catch up does not necessarily make it a good idea for nvidia to do the same thing. it would likely create a lot of ill will for a comparatively small bump to their bottom line.

on the other hand, one could argue that this did happen in the aftermath of the crypto craze. in that time, gpus sold for well over MSRP (even second-hand) for a year or two. I don't think it's a coincidence that gpu pricing tiers jumped by a couple hundred dollars in the next generation (and again with the RTX 3090, although you could instead argue that's a price cut to the outgoing titan sku).
Good outcome.
Instead, I would advocate that you should read everything critically and that any news you accept must meet some evidence threshold and logically make sense in a coherent narrative. Learning real history helps.

I don't have a real problem distinguishing real from fake news, research and verification come naturally to me. But although I hear this recommendation frequently, it offers nothing to help with the tidal wave of gullible/dishonest people who spread false information. I would like to ignore them, but a) that requires additional effort, much like filtering spam and b) ignoring them is unwise to some degree, as such people can have a significant impact in the real world by spreading misinformation.

When I first expressed worries about the 'qanon' thing several years ago, friends and family asked me why I wasted time studying such nonsense. Now it's an international phenomenon with electoral leverage; and it's still hard to get people to give their time to study and understand it as a strategic problem rather than simply mocking or belittling the adherents. It's a bit like trying to explain to a clever developer that a brilliant architectural design can be compromised by idiots and that the user interface requires artificial friction or safety rails.

It's not that your preference for an educated polity full of critical thinkers is wrong, it would be delightful. The problem is that stupid and mean people are indifferent or outright hostile to such a long-term goal and are perfectly willing and capable of wrecking things in the short term for their own selfish ends.
It's worth pointing out that housing costs are included in CPI (by proxy of rent).

On an inflation adjusted dollars-per-square-foot basis, housing is exactly the same price as it was in the 1970s [1] -- right around $115/sqft in constant dollars. 2008 didn't actually make a big dent on average.

The reason houses are more expensive today than they were in the past is that they're on average twice as big. This is due to city zoning ordinances, not inflation.

Similarly house prices exploded in major metros like SF because of artificial supply constraints. The city won't allow new building -> refuses to allow smaller units -> prices go up. Again, not inflation.

You're close here, but I think you're missing the point. Things that haven't been seen as "scarce" in the past are becoming more and more likely to be forced into scarcity. We're not worried about superfluous goods (concerts), but goods like housing / food are not superfluous (one could even argue the same thing about certain electronics).

Other commenters have gone into it, but this is about forced scarcity vs need. Incidentally, it's also similar to why workers have trouble negotiating individually vs as a group.

The gist of it is that those in power / wealth have the ability to outlast any single poor individual. You don't want to buy a house, toilet paper, or a nintendo switch right now? That's fine, I'll keep buying them till you or some other chump gives up. I have so much money that it doesn't really matter how long you decide to be frugal and wait. You want to strike? That's fine, you'll be back soon enough when you need to pay for something or keep your family alive. I have enough to outlast you.

Had we pumped this money into the actual working class economy I wouldn't be worried. But instead we siphoned off more working class dollars under the guise that inflation isn't real. It is, and future generations are going to pay dearly for our naivety.
Already available as experimental on VC++, and approved as part of C++20.

As proven by every failed attempt to replace languages with industry standards, plenty of companies do care about ISO and ECMA language standards.

D is a nice language, but spends too much time focusing on the language and its cool metaprograming capabilities, without focus on the ecosystem.

Slowly Java, C#, C++ will have the features that made D unique, with the plus side of 20 - 40 years of libraries, IDE support and industry certifications.

No, but they keep trying to do things with accessibility on my Mac to give them access that Apple doesn't think they should have.

Their price on 2TB for $9.99/month is competitive with Apple but we have 4 Macs, 5 iPads, and 5 iPhones. Much easier to have the Apple devices backing up to iCloud.

I did look at their Plus/Professional/Team offerings https://www.dropbox.com/plans and they do look useful for a lot of business cases.

By the way, they cut the number of devices that could access an account from unlimited to 3 on the free account. Fair enough but I was somebody who earned extra gigabytes in 250MB chunks for every person I referred to them.
If this was an honest statement I would expect "full benefit of unlimited storage" to mean using more than the new caps allow.
A substantial amount of iPhones are purchased by corporations for business reasons. They run one or two corporate apps all the time, which probably don't need much room anyway since such apps are usually designed to sync stuff with some kind of server in order to not have anything on the phone to back up or be lost in the event of a failure. Nobody shoots videos photos with those phones, and nobody puts music or movies on them. They basically need the space for the OS plus a few gigabytes extra; any additional space is wasted and ideally not there in the first place.

Wait, isn't this the same reserve? IE. By putting more capital in the reserve, the banks are able to lend proportionally more?
There isn't as much difference between the West and East as one might imagine. Westerners claim they want privacy, but see no problem giving it away for shinier toys. If you want privacy, it can be had, both in the East and West, you simply have to pay for it. Or learn how technology works and prioritize it. I moved off of Windows decades ago, OSX years ago, and am slowly tightening up all aspects of my digital life, for power, convenience, and yes, privacy.

Privacy is a luxury good like everything else humans want. Available for the masses only if you're willing to spend the time and energy learning how to DIY, or can just be bought if you're rich.

It was a weird experience today watching Apple's announcement video. Everything there is designed to keep you locked into their platform, and it was amusing when I saw how machine learning on your phone was given such significant space. They didn't even try to claim that this would help out ordinary people, jumping immediately to reducing costs of very very deep-pocketed customers, medical device manufacturers. Oh but an AR bird will know where your hand is maybe a bit better too. :rolleyes:

I mean, that's Apple's market, along with "pro" users, with the HomePod tech being a sad afterthought, a bone tossed to the less-than-extremely-well-heeled users as an alternative to mass-market Amazon devices.

America has a cult of the big and flashy, and the engine runs on our data so companies can predict and influence the behavior of the masses. Predictable revenue flows are the name of the game. China's government just has an added incentive to bake it all right into the social fabric. That's all.
because russia has nukes.
I'm sorry, but under what calculus did Castro's government kill 300,000 people? Not even the extremely biased "victims of communism" calculus comes within orders of magnitude of that.

And the Chilean military would have been part of that civil war. "There would have been a civil war because we would have attempted to overthrow the democratically elected government and they would have fought back, so we took american money and 'advisors' to move so quickly that there was no chance of the legitimate government fighting back" doesn't really hold moral water with me.

Also, the Beagle Conflict was five years into Pinochet's reign so not really sure how that's a reason to overthrow Allende.

> Allende was a demagogue on the KGB's payroll with drinking issues

The KGB hated the shit out of Allende. Their bottom up socialism stood to be an alternative that would have taken away the KGB's legitimacy even with die hard communists at the time.

My favorite example of "unlimited storage" was Twitch's original policy of permanently storing all past broadcast VODs. Completely for free!

When they changed that policy, they insisted it wasn't to save space, but I can't believe that. The mind boggles at the number of drives required (ballpark 1GB per hour, with a few million active streamers), especially with the popularity of Twitch exploding at the time.

I believe one of the main reasons Serverless will never be more than a low-tier niche is the combination of the following:

In the end, you are just renting well maintained server farms (well, a specific percentage of operational time of some of the servers in them). There is absolutely no appeal for large technology-based companies do this once they can (the following is the lowest scale example) afford to maintain their own servers, while potentially renting a few offsite backups in other areas of the world (again, this is just the lowest-scale architecture starting at which Serverless is always the worse option).

Existing solutions are extremely over-engineered. It can be excused with "officially planning for the use-case where maximum scalability is required", but it's almost certainly a pretense to sell "certifications", aka "explaining our own convoluted badly documented mess".
What this actually means is that many SWE's who are good enough to learn to use Serverless effectively, can learn any other framework that allows building distributed systems across server nodes with equal effort. Why would I base my whole business on your vendor locked, sub-optimized dumpster when I can do the same on an infinitely scalable VM networks, that can be ported to literally any vendor who supports $5/mo VMs (or, you know, self hosted if my company is large enough)?

It doesn't need to be the case that every community with even one single-family dwelling zoned neighborhood has the same motivation.

As I said, it wasn't until I started reading around about this issue that I came to see how pervasive this use of the law was, and how in so many cases the motivation was reasonably easy to ascertain.

I'm not denying that conceptually speaking, such zoning could be done with purely good intent. I'm claiming that within the US, and specifically within largely white wealthy communities, it is rarely used with good intent.

>> 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!

The phraseology makes it sound political, but it is not political.

Basically when a central bank cuts its rate down to 0.25%, 0%, or even negative (e.g., Switzerland), it's a signal that the central bank has done all it can do to get the economy going. (There are some other mechanism employed in recent years as well ("quantitative easing"), but the message is the same: we are at the limits of monetary policy.)

After that it is up to governments, if they so choose, to also do fiscal policy initiatives, e.g., Keynesian economics: create economic demand through public spending (since private business spending/demand is in the toilet).

Of course government are free not to do anything at all, which would generally entail lower economic growth and higher employment.

But central banks have a mandate to make sure the economy is in a certain middle-ground: not too hot to induce a lot of inflation, and not too cold to have a lot of people out of work.† Everyone agrees to these goals ahead of time:

> The Federal Reserve works to promote a strong U.S. economy. Specifically, the Congress has assigned the Fed to conduct the nation’s monetary policy to support the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.

* https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/what-economic-goals-does...

The "unelected technocrats" are doing what they were hired to do. They each have a fixed term (though renewable), and if they don't do what they're supposed to they are replaced.

They did not sneak into these positions: they were told to work towards certain goals, and they are using the tools at their disposal. They are no different than the Board of a corporation hired by the shareholders of the company: it's just that the "shareholders" are elected representatives (Congress, parliaments, etc).

If the Board is not doing a satisfactory job it can be sacked with cause if necessary.

† Sometimes you actually have both: see "stagflation".
Not sure what your point is or why you'd go on this tangent about who can or cannot afford an OLED TV.

Nope. The Beagle conflict had already begun decades earlier and there was an unsuccessful arbritration with the help of the UK in 1971, during Allende's presidency.

If Chile had a civil war, that would have accelerated Argentina's invasion plan.

In addition to that, Bolivia has manifested territorial ambitions over their former territories, something that is even in their constitution.

A civil war followed by an invasion by at least 2 countries, or a Cuba/Chile/Soviet union alliance were all excellent reasons to remove Allende. He failed, his ideas were bad, his execution was bad. Beautiful speeches, but a failure nevertheless.

Next time some Mr. Che Guevara t-shirt guy tries to sell you the Communist miracle, go to Cuba and see how they live there, and tell me if you would like to raise your kids in a place like that. Or go to Venezuela, another "miracle". Technically they have equality because most people (except for the regime and party members of course) are equally poor.

Fidel was such as charismatic leader he would only eat food from his own personal garden out of fear of being poisoned, he also lived a life of excess and lived in an oppulent mansion unlike most Cubans.

I wonder if Vitamin D would be an odd biological case of the adage ”if a metric starts being used as a goal, it ceases to be a good metric”.

From my understanding, Vitamin D has strong evidence of being a good marker of good health. A certain level of Vitamin D is strongly correlated with a lot of health indicators. But there is no strong evidence so far that it’s a cause of good health.

If that’s the case, that Vitamin D doesn’t cause good health, it just happens to be present in people with good health — and I could be wrong in both of my previous statements, I am not a specialist, I just read specialists claiming this. So, if that’s the case and Vitamin D supplement intake becomes widespread (a lot of dairy products in the US includes Vitamin D already), it might interfere in research trying to understand the relation of Vitamin D and good health.

Not just research, but a doctor checking a patient blood exam wouldn’t notice anymore the low Vitamin D and wouldn’t recommend a, probably beneficial, larger exposure to the sun.
Ordered Dict Surprises
Both LTE-M and NB-IoT are considered technologies of the 5G family. Technically they are way simpler versions of LTE, but they can coexist with "normal" 4G and 5G. A 4G / 5G base station can allocate part of its radio resources to these mobile technologies. In the future, with slicing this allocation can even be dynamic.

Most of the times, when people discuss how 5G will serve "massive machine type communications" they refer to LTE-M / NB-IoT.

Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) is a consensus algorithm for permissioned environments that allows a number of faulty nodes f<n/3.
It does not rely on synchrony for correctness and it is safe against Byzantine faults (when f<n/3).
It is used in BFS (PBFT for NFS) and in hyperledger fabric, to name the first two that came in my mind.
