When using the word "inflation" without context is is referring to increased money supply. When using the word "inflation" with regard to prices it is in a different context. The assumed context is what has changed due to the fact that money supply no longer is directly correlated with price increases. When gold and silver were directly debased, prices of goods were directly inflated. If we still used gold/silver currency "inflation" by itself would be synonymous with price increases. We use fiat currencies and the money supply is increased in certain industries or assets and therefore "inflation" has to be defined more clearly. Debasing fiat is not as direct as debasing commodity backed dollars or gold/silver currency.

The article author does a decent job of defining these, but fails to be clear as the writing progresses.
We basically paid for the land and got a half-finished cabin shell for free. Spent two summers finishing it up real nice and then woosh! No insurance, I guess we lost about 20-40k of materials and tools that were there. The most painful part of fixing it was getting all the building permits sorted out.

Oh well, the Buddha teaches us that all things are temporary. I did enjoy the weekends hammering away with friends and family.

I am looking into shipping container construction now. Cabin 2.0 will solve all the design flaws we inherited from Cabin 1.0, and no doubt introduce new and exciting flaws!

Lemons Problem
>You're talking about supply shortages as if it was a permanent thing.

So the hospital staff should just do without PPE for weeks until production catches up?
But it does have impact -- people with greater need (i.e. those willing to pay more) can get what they need from the middleman, even if they wouldn't be able to in a first come first served system (which will inevitably be abused by people who can automate stuff, something that can also be seen in registration of limited time slots). They are effectively paying the middleman for reserving the goods for them.

Direct to consumer sales are a relatively new thing. Retailers and other middlemen are still the overwhelming majority of volume for stuff like masks, toilet paper, soap. Or do you buy toilet paper online straight from the manufacturer?

Btw, in a country without significant manufacturing capacity, everyone importing the needed goods is a "parasitic rent seeker".

On the other hand, if you are talking about hospitals and other institutional buyers, from what I've seen, it was mostly US based institutions and companies outbidding everyone else. Are you saying that you would have preferred those masks, respirators or ventilators remained in China or the EU?
Although I agree with you about the health risk of regular consumption of fast food, I'm not a regular consumer of Taco Bell, and occasional consumption of fast food is not a significant health risk to most people. I only hoped that when I passed through the area that a nationwide chain would have slightly better COVID sanitation standards than the local establishments I passed by at first. It turned out not to be the case.

How Big Tech is planning for election night
This is rich. This throwaway account is going around posting short dismissals that don't add to the discussion, which is against site guidelines because it causes problems with reasonable discussions, and then uses these guidelines to try and protect themselves after injecting flamebait, which also happens against the site guidelines for the exact same reasons.

It would be impossible for the poster to not be aware of what they are doing.
CVE-2020-15999 was described as:

"A vulnerability exists in the function `Load_SBit_Png`, which processes PNG
images embedded into fonts. This function:

1) Obtains the image width and height from the header as 32-bit integers.

2) Truncates the obtained values to 16 bit and stores them in a
`TT_SBit_Metrics` structure.

3) Uses the truncated values to calculate the bitmap size.

4) Allocates the backing store of that size.

5) Passes `png_struct` and the backing store to a libpng function.

The issue is that libpng uses the original 32-bit values, which are saved in
`png_struct`. Therefore, if the original width and/or height are greater than
65535, the allocated buffer won't be able to fit the bitmap."

This one could only happen in an memory unsafe programming language. Having bounds
checks on the destination buffer would have avoided the problem.

There was an episode of American Restoration that featured a machine like this. They restored it (minus the X-ray part) with a stock X-ray picture so it would look like it still worked.

either you are commenting on the not-so-great title of this article, or you didn't read it.

the last paragraph clearly states:

> To do so, each of us needs to follow these three W’s: Wear a mask. Watch your distance (stay 6 feet apart). Wash your hands often.
I had faith in my fellow americans to wear a mask, but after filling in a week for our front desk salesperson I'm increasingly confounded by the lack of simple human compassion a lot of people seem to exhibit. customers who dont wear masks and are told to leave almost always have a long-winded presidential speach ready for anyone in earshot...rambling discourse about freedom, communism, china, asthma, you name it...anything they can think of so as to avoid accountability for their poor decision.

Unless they already have a "must be counted by" time that's tonight/early tomorrow morning, I'd say that won't happen.
I don't think the GP was saying the engineers were miserable because they stopped being engineers and went into management. I think he was saying they were miserable because they didn't go into management and then found that their careers were at a dead end.
This is interesting.

Hypothesis: Wearing a mask is a physical reminder that we're in a pandemic, which helps folks remember to do other things which reduce their risk (avoid touching things unnecessarily, wash hands more often, staying at home unless necessary, etc)
What Big Tech has to gain–and lose–from a Biden presidency
> Sun seemed to be very aware of the problem and fought really hard, but they couldn't cut off Linux completely.

Given how baffling Solaris x86 was as a product (is it supported? is anyone at Sun taking it seriously? is hardware coming? are they all breathing swamp gas over there?) over the years to those of us who really wanted to like Solaris x86, this seems like a pretty generous comment.

I think you're right about IBM. I don't know if they were the least poorly managed of the Unix vendors, but they had some real customers because of their mainframe business. They definitely deserve some credit for stretching Linux to that hardware.
Agree to disagree then I guess.

Yes, AirTable added additional benefits compared to Google Sheets. So did WhatsApp. That's why they succeeded in the first place, their first (public) iteration was useful enough to gain initial traction.

I'm not arguing that everything is useless unless they solve "hard business problems" (which I'm not even sure what that refers to), but if your thing doesn't solve anything at all, it's either entertainment or the wrong thing to build.

Seems 'fine' - more lenient that I'd go, but I'd agree that interminable lock-down of low-risk people is a bad idea. But we don't have that. Doesn't mention masks at all.

Indulged in the picture of financial boom, yet forgot the havoc raged by the greed? Modern financial is rarely useful for society. Even the VC community largely becomes rent seekers who monopolize new entrepreneurs, instead of really taking high impact long term bet.

Jack Ma appears mixing modern tech with his own idea about the financial system. Watching his onstage chat with Elon Musk and WAI 2020 shows that he is not interested so much of using tech to innovate, and his true interests might be in using tech to manage and control. Not too surprising for a tech baron raised in a totalitarian country.
This article misses saying that Q-DOS was always rumored to be a de-compilation of Z80 CP/M, slight mods made to the assembly listing to make it 8086 assembly, and then re-compiled.

There's a quote from (I think) Accidental Empires, that has Gary Kildall saying that not even Bill Gates knows why DOS strings end with a '$' character, but Kildall does.

I also remember that Kildall got a largish settlement from Microsoft, and was never able to talk much about the issues.
The answer is, yes, a small third-party used listing was removed by eBay. The fact that large retailers are recirculating used Pis has no bearing on what makes this intriguing (see my reply).

The open question is whether this is part of broader efforts by parties such as eBay or the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
If you are referring to the lack tight coupling being the ability to remove journald, time sync, etc, then you are correct. I should have been more clear I was talking about systemd as a whole, and not just those other subsystems, but I'll assume you meant the latter, in which case, yeah, it's possible to stop using lots of the systemd subsystems without too much pain (which I have done quite frequently, and found great stability improvements.) To be frank, I just really don't like the handwaiving away of valid criticisms people have (on any topic), with such dismissive language as "People keep saying ... but never supply any proof for that." This to me reeks of intellectual dishonesty, but again, that was my response because I probably misunderstood you to say that about systemd as a whole instead of how you meant it which was focused on gp's comment about subsystems.

One note: many people pretend sysv init has been dead and left behind, but I've seen production systems in major places still using it (not just embedded either). It's not nearly as dead as people might like to think.

This is a little different than what Lehman got in trouble for in the US.

During the financial crisis, the core issue is that banks were making loans off their own balance sheet with reserves too small to cover the losses that eventually occurred. In other words, when borrowers defaulted the bank itself lost money. This made them insolvent and caused the whole collapse.

In the case of Ant on the other hand, they essentially function as a lead generation platform for banks - currently 98% of "their loans" aren't really theirs at all, but rather are funded by their partner banks; if the loan defaults, it's the partner bank's problem, not Ant's.

The reason this change is such a big deal is that forcing Ant to fund 30% of its own loans will require raising an absolutely enormous amount of fairly expensive capital, driving up costs and significantly decreasing the value of the company.

The original "signs of life discovered on Venus" announcement was discussed a couple months ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24463423

Numerous comments about the promoter's non-scientific background, the sensationalism of the original announcement and skepticism over the findings. Please note that the scientists themselves weren't sensationalizing their findings, but others were.

As this article points out: it was a "big, if true" story that had numerous red flags from the start.

> It could be that your manager sees something in you that makes them think that you would be a successful manager yourself.

It could also be that his manager needs to check boxes on how many of his people are qualified in particular areas, whether those qualifications actually mean anything or not. Or that the more people he has working for him who he can say are "team leads" or something like it, the greater his own chances of moving up.

It is not the present social dynamic that creates these "preferences".

This set of characteristics has evolved over millions of years, beginning before humans had even branched off the evolutionary tree.

> In a study of 34 rhesus monkeys, for example, males strongly preferred toys with wheels over plush toys, whereas females found plush toys likable. It would be tough to argue that the monkeys’ parents bought them sex-typed toys or that simian society encourages its male offspring to play more with trucks.

This is an exceptionally silly perspective to have. You feel entitled to put others in danger because you don't like being reminded of reality.

Edit: Pick your favorite example by using the following: "It's actually very annoying to [trivial activity]. I don't want to be thinking 24/7 about the [dangerous, potentially fatal thing], and the [benign preventative measure] reminds me of it". I think my favorite would be "It's actually very annoying to drive in a single lane on the road. I don't want to be thinking 24/7 about other cars on the road hitting me, and the lines on the road reminds me of it".

> We were taught to never mix HTML and JS and put markup in a separate file.

Yeah, but we were all still doing it anyways. Maybe not for our web pages, but definitely for our apps. I don’t think that part of react has ever been very controversial to people who were already building large webapps to begin with.
You realize the app recommended is the Guardian’s and uses updating notifications to present in a predictable manner and context? This seems like an improvement in user experience over keeping this in a tab along all the other tabs and having to meander past your regular distractions, many of which might present results in a less restrained manner than what is being advocated for here. It seems like you saw the word app, made a throwaway, and ranted about the word app.

Tao te ching has helped me eliminate Political Anxiety.
The key insight you're missing is that the concepts of emotional awareness and comfort are themselves "culture fit" standards. Different cultural groups have wildly different perspectives on how emotional awareness is properly expressed or which kinds of comfort people are entitled to. To pick a hopefully non-controversial example, there are some people who are most comfortable when they're allowed to have pink hair, and others who feel that showing up to work in pink hair reflects a lack of emotional awareness.
I agree they did something wrong. But I don’t run my own server - and I do run my own client....

And it’s not the MX that says where mail comes from, it’s the SPF record (if you have one).

Google had, for a very long time, an issue where any g-suite/gmail user could SPF as any g-suite domain; so servers that didn’t check DKIM (most until recently, and probably still) would let it through happily.

> I don't see why one would pass up JetBrains IDEs considering they have a passable Vim mode ...

Because I am suspicious of "the magic" of those IDEs..

I truly respect the "old" code, I mimic the coding (and naming) styles/conventions of any code that I work on.

My goal is that (except when cheating with git-blame) others cannot divide the code between original and added by me...

And it is definitely NOT a question about cost.. I am willing to (and have) spend a lot of money on good tools.

But for me, 2/3 of my time goes to thinking and 1/3 of my time goes to writing/typing...
I also use no plugins (because I often have to ssh to many network servers). I have found a surprising benefit in my coding to "coming to know" things about library APIs and projects through mental "muscle memory". For instance, by not relying on a file browser or even a fuzzy finder, I eventually come to learn where certain files probably are... and the probability goes up the longer I am in the code base. Similar for lib APIs; although my vim session may be on a remote machine via xterm, that doesn't prevent me from having a local browser window open and reading API docs to find what I need often helps me understand the library better.

This is a nonsensical comparison to wearing a mask and washing your hands during a global pandemic.
Do you really think the businesses are enforcing masks for the sake of public health? I encourage you to ask them -- 9 times out of 10 they will say they are fearful of the government fining them and shutting down their business. Trust me, I ask them every time they ask me to leave and it's always the same answer. If they resist the government, it will eventually result in violence.
> an economy collapses and everyone is forced out of their homes as they go underwater on their mortgages

People are not forced out of their homes when their mortgages go underwater, they're forced out when they can't afford to pay the mortgage (underwater or not).
I think you could build a 3d model with photogrammetry. There's not that much soft tissue and it's not like you're going to ignore it, anyway. Retool the manufacturing so custom shoes roll off the line with modern materials and design.

I'd pay a premium for hiking boots custom made for my feet, and I bet a lot of other people would, too. Or any athletic footwear. People are already paying whatever they can afford.

Of course you can get custom hiking boots handmade, but when I looked into it, the materials and design were ancient and the resulting boots were ridiculously heavy.

Yeah, expectations of monetizing open source need to be managed. Downwards. That's fine unless you liked seeing open source get funded. Personally, I did, and I think it's a pity to watch those dreams go up in flames. I think there's also a meta-point in that by creating a system that can't be content with taking advantage, and instead must always take maximum advantage, that we rob ourselves of something in the process.

Here's to the high water mark of open source. It was good while it lasted.

A quick search says that Sweden still has a growing number of new covid cases. So no, it does not look like they have achieved herd immunity.
Exact value is irrelevant considering I'm talking about a span of hundreds of thousands of years across every human population alive during that time. The point is, and I feel confident saying it, that current life expectancy (at any stage) is higher now than at nearly any time in the distant past.
