"The planet has a fever, and the cure is more capitalism, a prominent researcher argues"
"This “decoupling” of growth from environmental degradation is showing up in other major economies as well, and even in some developing ones, MIT scientist Andrew McAfee argues in what’s bound to be a controversial new book. He asserts that the phenomenon represents a critical turning point in economic history—and an essential one if we hope to sustain a growing global population without decimating the planet."

I emailed him that his data is correct but how does his conclusion fit with the fact that the west just outsources energy heavy industries to China and pointed to some statistics supporting my question. He never replied. I think he may have fucked the chicken (as my professor always said, if you did a major f. up in science).

I'm getting the feeling you can make a tool into a product, but you can't successfully design a product to become a tool. The idea that you can make something powerful and sophisticated and people will pay for it before it realizes their existing tool workflow, suffers from the basic counterfactual of, "if only people did things this slightly different way, my tool/product would solve everything!"

A tool must enhance an existing activity or workflow, whereas a "solution," must take on the risk of it failing. A product is a tool or solution with features that people pay for.
Even great visionary design shops built incremental iterations on existing needs, and the revolutionary aspect they become known for was a further downstream effect of their refinement that unblocked growth. In this sense, I'd speculate that Apple doesn't invent very much, and in fact few companies and people who actually invent things do very well at all, but the ones who refine existing things are the ones that grow. I wonder how generally true that is.
This is the definition of inflation that I was taught too. However it seems that people now days mean for inflation to be about price increases rather than money supply inflation (increases). The money supply inflates and deflates. Prices increase and decrease.

I think it would be best if we all start being more clear and specific when talking about "inflation".

Printing money DOES automatically lead to inflation. It leads to inflating the money supply or MONEY SUPPLY inflation. However printing money and inflating the money supply does not necessarily lead to price increases or price inflation. Most of us care about price increases, which are a symptom, but not allows present, of money supply inflation/printing money.

This sort of feels like Microsoft embracing Linux. First they fought it, but the market forces were too strong. Eventually MS figured out how to coexist with Linux, and leverage it for their business.

Ultimately, lock-in in the cloud is a real issue for companies, and the open source community will figure out how to address this issue. AWS and other platforms will fight this a bit, but ultimately they'll adopt whatever approach emerges.

This isn't too say all cloud-services will be commoditized, but the interop between similar services will be.
If it came from a fake "paypal.com" address but was not received from the MX for paypal.com, your incoming spam filtering has issues other than DKIM... Something like that would get 5+ extra points added to it by a basic spamassassin setup. With a common setup that is postfix + opendkim as a mail filter on the incoming, that should also get caught.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that DKIM was really intended to be deployed on the service-provider side, and smtpd mail filtering side, rather than on the client.

I'd wholeheartedly agree with your critique if the text was published as a tweet storm.

The thing is, this isn't news reporting at all. It's a popsci writeup of the history of the immune system, the history of the discovery of the immune system and a glimpse into its complexity that uses Covid news as the textual equivalent of a cover image. If you have a print of 20000 Leagues under the Sea and the cover shows the kraken attack, would you complain about the number of chapters that don't contain a kraken at all?
I agree, this is a good thing; market efficiencies simply cannot be stopped in a free market.
Linking the 7 and L is an even more ??? idea, because the 7 and L are different loading gauges, and the fact that both originate on the east side of the East River means anything that now becomes a 1-seat ride takes too long to be worth actually sitting in 1 seat for that long.

Well SuperMicro sells workstation motherboards that you can use to assemble a workstation and they can go even higher than 1.5TB.

The dumb thing is that most people compare the Mac pro (a workstation) to a consumer PC, not to workstation-class PC (ThinkStations from Lenovo or HP Z8xx from HP).

I disagree that it’s unlikely. Highly paid, brilliant people are pitted against each other with massive stakes. It’s very likely that something bizarre happens. And there are still thousands of other things that COULD happen that didn’t, like a candidate getting removed by assassination, car wreck, illness, fatigue, enemy attack on the State, pandemic, on and on, that will have a massive impact on the state of things. The model was misleading, therefore it didn’t take into account Trump teams’ plan and the voters’ action.

I really don’t know how to value/process information like “Clinton 90% most likely to win,” and “Clinton loses in hotly contested election.” How do you get from A to B. The outcome of that election is heavily into “butterfly effect” territory, Taleb says model should never have been so confident. I would agree. Was it bad input info into the model or just a bad model because it relies on inputs subject to bias? I don’t know but the output information is certainly less valuable than the attention it’s receiving. Seems largely academic, and worthwhile, but not worthy of broad attention outside of the quant circles. (Nate Silver 538 is a popular topic around me, deeply non-quant territory, self included)

Inflation is a tax on interest-bearing, interest-indexed, or financial instruments; loans, bonds, debt, and insurance claims (policies are priced in uninflated currency, claims are paid in inflated currency, see the 1980s liability insurance crisis triggered by high inflation, though blamed on much else).

Wage-earners, and fixed-income households if inflation indexed are largely untouched by inflation.

> there are better tools for controlling inflation that hurt fewer people than the current monetary policies in place

This is the part of her argument that I found unconvincing. The tools sort of work. But once you have inflation and inflation expectations a tremendous amount of political capital and pain must be spent to get out of it. A system which regularly subjects itself to such a test will eventually fail it.

Women Using Less Feminine Terms in Cover Letters Are Less Likely to Get Hired
Although eBay's motivations are probably not benevolent, and the implementation of this policy harms a reputable distributor, I do think this is a good thing overall. There are several different authorized distributors of RPi; listing RPi on eBay simply offers another vector by which counterfeit/damaged/problematic devices can be sold, and the existence of a secondary market (eBay used buyers and sellers) for RPi also reduces the demand (revenue) for new devices. I buy mine directly from one of the authorized distributors provided by the project's website.
Women who demand to be allowed to finish get called unpleasant, gendered names. A man can be "powerful" or "confident", but a woman behaving the same way will be called "bossy" or worse.

And every single time she gets interrupted, she is forced to make a choice: is this the time I'm going to insist and risk getting a reputation for being unpleasant, or am I just going to let it slide because they don't mean it unkindly.

Try this: the next time you see a woman being interrupted, you say, "Hang on, I wanted to hear the rest of that." That not only sends the message that interrupting isn't ok, but it also saves her the effort of making that decision yet again. It's no surprise that they often end up choosing not to, solely as a matter of picking their battles. Ending that unconscious sexism shouldn't just be on them.

It is not that simple. I crashed out of my first career (with student loans in a STEM field), then learned to program at age 27. I’ve been tremendously lucky and successful in the decade since then, lived in a tiny place in SF for years (with a growing family) while working big tech, and I’m only just now at a point I can get my family into a house.

I’m one of the lucky ones. Learning the skills is not enough, you have to get a very good job and work your ass off for a decade for it to amount to enough to comfortably afford the housing, education, and healthcare for a family.

A generation ago getting that kind of quality job was much easier and just having the job put you in the family-supporting income range.
It's possible. I'm older and I remember seeing my foot bones outlined in a very attractive green through one. These machines weren't rare items.

I wasn't old enough to understand the dangers, and of course most parents didn't understand them either.

It was all rather insane and reckless, and only luck rather than judgement kept them from becoming a major public health issue.
haha, typical HN sentiment.

Don't me wrong, studying in-demand tech skills is great, but it's hardly a scalable solution.

In a way, of course the "workstation" distinction is still here. Gamers aside, if you see a machine decked out in 27" or bigger, high-DPI monitors, double digit gigabytes of RAM and so on, it's probably because it's being used for work, be it graphic design or video editing or electronic design. The unwashed masses have mini laptops and big smartphones and Chromebooks.

That's not exactly why it's steroids. If this was the main mechanism we'd use more effective immunosuppressants. As is, stronger immunosuppressants show worse survival rates. You want to keep some immune system activity to not get a secondary infection and fight the virus.

Corticosteroids also kickstart healing process (not really in COVID) and regrowth - you also race against tissue destruction. Most importantly they barely reduce scar formation. And they actually improve breathing via action on alveoli as well as reduce swelling.

The specific two to use are hydrocortisone and dexamethasone based on studies thus far, in critical patients - ones put on respirators. (Prednisolone could also work.)

> Every floating rate currency held outside its native borders is "reserve"

This is empirically false. Offshore currency holdings make offshore financing in your currency easier. That makes financing deficits less likely to produce domestic inflation.

Quantity and diversity of the offshore holders of one's currency matter. There is a qualitative difference between the U.S. dollar and Argentinian peso.

> Most people are barely getting 1% annual raises which means income increases by 138% over the same period.

Where is that 1% coming from? It seems to me US salaries growth pretty much followed 3/5% average for the last 50 years, with some obvious drawdowns during crises.

Source: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/wage-growth

> In the last 4 decades wages have barely increased, but major assets like cars and houses are 8-10x what they used to be.

That doesn't make any sense. The price of a good should roughly follow an optimum of supply and demand. There is of course a spectrum in which it can oscillate, but your "barely increased" versus "8-10x" comparison is ridiculous.

Things are evolving inside a pretty much closed system. Of course that's not exactly true, especially with capital movements, and mondialisation, but the ballpark should be there. You cannot take conclusions if you don't study the full picture.

Take housing prices for instance. The main driver for real estate is not some conspiracy of evil super wealthy people. It's just the interest rates. If interest rates lower, then borrowing money is cheaper, people get bigger mortgages, which in turn inflates real estate prices.

> From 1984 to 2016 housing prices in the Greater Vancouver area have gone up 800% [1].

Real estate cannot be studied in geographical isolation. There are way too much factors that can cause local inflation. In the case of Vancouver's real estate, it is notoriously the flow target of a lot of Asian capital. I don't think that should be taken as an example.
Maj. Harold Hering and the forbidden question that cost him his career (2011)
"Energy intensity of GDP has been falling for decades."

No, it has not. While this is true for the US, she just outsources manufacturing to China. Hence the energy intensive steps are done outside the US. So your comment is true for the US but not for the world economy as a whole.

Not that I defend it, but largely because non business entities don't have the concept of losses against which to deduct revenue, unless you actively trade equities. But I don't mean to just be pedantic about it: this really is the main reason. Summers' plea here strikes me as futile. He really thinks if the complex accounting were all laid out that it would lead to some mass awakening? I doubt it...

Actually yes - I have a small display that I haven't used for a couple of months and the image is still there. I was thinking about how it would be with a daily refresh.
Everyone here argue about how this is incoherent with them allowing to sell others things... while the real question is why they did this.

Someone else mentions they take 15%, I though it was higher, but let's go with that. Why wouldn't they want to make bank over theses Pi, even the ones actually in a grey area.

Let's be honest, this is coherent with Ebay, they want to make cash, like any other business, and something would cause them to make less of it if they were to sell Raspberry Pi.

Someone else mentioned RIAA/MPAA, which would make sense with the copyright stuff, but why wouldn't RIAA/MPAA fight all the other ones too?

So here I am, asking myself, who would want to stop Raspberry Pi from being sold, or for Little Bird Company to stop selling stuff.

Forget about the printer for weeks until I need it again

Inkjets work reliably when used regularly. And tend not to when they aren't. And this is even more the case when the inkjet is unplugged because of those annoying maintenance cycles in the middle of the night. Or in the middle of the day that result in an empty ink message despite not printing anything.

I went through the same thing for years. A cycle of dread where I avoided printing because half time printing seemed to mean a trip to the office supply store and twenty or sixty dollars in ink cartridges with the anticipation I would have a similar experience next time.

Now I print regularly because I know it's ok and have had zero issues since April of 2018. It's killer feature is third party ink support - cartridges can be reset and refilled and inks that are good enough can be bought in bulk.

When it runs out of ink, I can reset and refill the empties, top off the non-empties, swap out the cartridges, and put everything away and clean up the sink in about twenty minutes. Less time than going to the store and back. Since I have two full sets of cartridges, I can do the swap out before the refill and empties hold me up less than five minutes in practice.

Sure, there's a big part of me that doesn't feel that any of this should be necessary because...well it's a computer. On the other hand, I can't just use my laptop and close the lid without plugging it in. YMMV.
