> That definition of inflation makes no sense in the current monetary arrangements, it's, simply, not how it works anymore. There is not an "amount of precious metal that constituted a nation’s money." If some people don't understand that, we should aim to educate them.

To be clear, what you are referring to is a quote from the FED article I linked to and quoted. Before the Keynesian revolution, inflation meant increased money supply and was assumed to increase prices as well, because money was backed by or was gold/silver. Many people as you opined have a misunderstanding that money is still backed by gold and you are correct that they lack the education. The "change" in the definition was by the Keynesians. It is not accepted by everyone. The monetary theory change should not change the definition.

Why does my definition make sense to me? A price is a number, not a physical thing so it increases. Take the balloon analogy. Money supply is the balloon, inflated with dollars. Price is the balloon, inflated with numbers? Does not make sense to me. The term "price inflation" is a misnomer. It should be "price increase".

FYI: On this site we use "> " for block quotes. You used quotes and ">>" and included my ">". It was a little confusing.
> But in what sense are these kinds of internal politics NOT "unwillingness or inability", at least at the organizational level?

An example from my past should demonstrate...

A single manager in my past simultaneously:

A) told higher management that something was not possible, and

B) told the org under him that management didn't want that same thing done, and

C) convinced his peers to let him manage this personal pet project alone.

The only person that knew the truth at the time was the lone person who didn't want it done. Result: it didn't happen.

This is extraordinarily common, in my experience, though only this particular person could do it this well.

The entire organization wanted something done except one guy who convinced everyone to let him have the power to stop it without anyone understanding what they were letting him do.

You may argue that this is an organization being unwilling to act via its own structure, and I would counter that this person was very skilled at this type of deception, and succeeded at this type of thing despite the organization above, below, and around him all being pretty much standard.
every possible story, image, or really anything anywhere is just an index into PI.
Sounds like a lot of hassle/potential distraction.
This is the problem with modern copyright. Content creators needs to be paid, but they should not be in control of what the public can do with their shows. We need a standard price to pay for a standard license.

Heck let them set their own price, but any special deal should be considered a breach of the monopoly they have been granted - no more favoring one streaming service over another. No more region or geolock.

Since they are so happy about tell us that we have brought a CD, not its contents I should be allowed to get that content however I want and pay a standard fee in a standard way.

A fluoroscopic image is very low resolution compared to an actual film (then), or DICOM (now).

The views taken are done to show particular things and the person doing it needs training. Then the reporting needs paying for, and radiologists aren’t cheap.
The images and paperwork (referral, report, images, billing and demographics) need storing and need to have a system for finding them again.

The department needs things for cleaning your blood off the floor, handling you trying to die while on site and generally working safely.

And lastly, everyone clips the ticket, insurance primarily.

But I mostly like your take, it’s great.
Case in point, This guy turned what was just fact checking into something personal. See, it's not about being civil. That's just the way people like to think they are. The reality is most people can't accept being wrong and they can't accept opinions they disagree with and the irony is everyone believes they're above this base behavior.

No one is above it.
I dunno, I usually go out of my way to avoid looking at people's scores on places like that. Even my own if I can help it. HN is hard, it's right in the corner there, but I really don't tend to look at anyone else's scores. Same with reddit or other sites I use with those systems.

Don't get me wrong, I get the little dopamine rush and enjoy getting points and stuff, but I look at the whole thing the same way as a high score board on a video game or something.
Biden would delay the moon mission by years
He didn't say his name, though. At minimum it's a desire to stay pseudonymous, and I think it should be respected.

The idea that privacy can be violated like this solely because random Facebook users are interested in it and on the off-chance that family he hadn't interacted with in years might find some abstract comfort despite not being close at all is just incredibly bizarre.
There are hundreds of attacks every day on HN against people on account of their belonging to a national, racial, or religious group? Guess I've been missing all the spicy comments

I think "show just how science works" has become a bit of a meme for "we need to roll back this mistaken/over-ambitious claim".

I googled for some evidence:

Our climate data was wrong, which shows how science works:

Alcohol can be beneficial in terms of it being a "social glue" whether you personally believe it or not. Within reason is fine, and won't make you an alcoholic. So that doesn't fit the counter examples.

> If we could handle 62 GW in 2002, then there's no reason that we can't handle 62 GW again in, say, 2042.

There is - supply and grid maintenance was scaled down with demand.

The grid certainly can be rebuilt to 2002 state in UK, but this will not be cheap.

The other point that I was making is that any deviation from current patterns, like night demand significantly growing will require significant changes in generation.
Thanks for this key insight, but I don't see how it's relevant.

The point, which I'm very far from the first person to bring up, is that the actual purpose of vague concepts like "culture fit" is to be a wildcard you can use to exclude anyone without having to critically examine or provide an actual reason. How you personally justify having pink hair not being a "culture fit" to yourself doesn't change anything about that. What it does change however is that you now no longer have to explain that you're not hiring someone for their hair color.

There's no need to invent hypotheticals, by the way. The people I've heard asking how they can stop getting denied for "culture fit" in interviews have one thing in common and it's being >40 years old or a woman.
Most toll roads are actually public but then under a management contract with a private party for toll collection/enforcement.

There's a perpetual quest in strength sports to create an equation that lets you compare the relative strength levels of athletes in different weight classes. In weightlifting the Sinclair formula uses allometric scaling to try to roughly answer the question "if we scaled this lifter to the size of the overall world record holder, how much would we expect them to lift?" That's a decent approach. However for a long time powerlifting used the Wilks formula which was, you guessed it, a 5th order polynomial. Hilariously, there are discontinuities in the formulas. If a man bulks up to a bodyweight approaching 283.034 kg, his Wilks score approaches infinity. Same for a woman at about 208.391kg. But if that's your strategy then don't overshoot as the limit from the right is negative infinity.

I can relate to this. I have spent the better part of two years in court proceedings.

In terms of child support, New York State is one of the few states that doesn't take into account parenting time when setting child support. Custody is solely determined by who earns $1 less than the other parent.

And NY courts have thrown up their hands saying "the legislature chose not to include it, it's not our problem". Sigh... The moment you (re-)discover that legal =! right.

you have to cite other studies if you want to discredit the ones linked.

otherwise, you are asking me to just take your word for it. i have the word of hundreds of women in my family and friends circle..not to mention my own personal lived experience as a woman..to attest that female hormones act differently and that brain plasticity both ways occurs with trauma and subsequently retraining. i am not bringing up testimonials second hand or my lived experience nor political correctness. i am bringing up scientific studies. what are you bringing to the table?

you havent offered anything substantial or credible other than call Nature* Neuroscience 'junk science' and look up a skeptic blogger who isnt even saying anything about the subject at hand. and in the link he provided, he is washing his hands off a Daily Mail article about women and food.

[..]This appeared in the Daily Mail a while back. This headline was based on a neuroimaging experiment, which, predictably, didn't prove anything of the kind. Yawn. I've written about this kind of thing before, and no doubt I will do again. But why do I do it? What's the harm in this kind of thing?

A cynic might say that this kind of thing is harmless fun - or at any rate, harmless. No-one really cares about articles like this, and no-one takes them seriously. No-one's going to read this article and start to think that all women are impulsive and gluttonous - at least not unless they were a sexist pig to begin with.[..]

if 'neuroskeptic' is going to disown Nature Neuroscience like he is doing with a Daily Mail article, then we certainly dont have anything to discuss here anymore.

I agree with this. Due to youthful stupidity I've probably had at least a dozen severe sprains and so I am now very prone to them (rolling an ankle at least once a year until I made a change). I switched to five fingers, which I acknowledge are full of hype and woo on the marketing side, and have never rolled an ankle since. It's been 13 years or so..

"A la carte" was proposed for a long time as "here's what's wrong with cable" and overall it's definitely better now. I pay less for a few services, and can switch them in and out, than I did for cable.

But people got unrealistic expectations of total price from the first few years of Netflix and Hulu prices + library. That stuff was always gonna get more expensive as the market moved to streaming.

It is not free. Ongoing costs are there. They are small per item but still there. Do not confuse opex with capex. they are easy to muddle together especially at first. things like that leaky roof that needs to be fixed, someone to clean the floors, someone to run the register, AC costs, taxes (property and sales), modernization (you do not want your store to look like something from the 60s when everyone else is newer looking), etc Some of those items are operating expense, some are capital expense.
You‘re kinda misrepresenting the article. The author/interviewee is not for unlimited speech, she just argues that it should be private organisations doing the censoring rather than the government.

As someone that got a photo of a grizzly in the wild. It was surprisingly easy. Here's how you can do it too. For probably under 1k.

1. Fly out to Anchorage, Alaska

2. Drive to Denali visitor center, (Denali State Park)

3. Take the Bus to Denali (~$50)

You are almost guaranteed to see a wild grizzlies along the way. The bus will stop so you can take a photo. You can even get off and go for a hike if you like. They will pick you up on the way back. (or whats left of you...) If you decide not to, thats okay too. You will have many near death experiences, as your school bus drives along a dirt road along steeped cliff mountain edges, for many miles. The bus takes you to heart of Denali, where you can see Mount Mckinley (Highest mountain in North America), and where temperatures can dip to minus 60 degrees in winter.
Reading these unbelievable stories gets me thinking that women should again be deprived of voting rights; or at least excluded from the judicial system. After all, parenthood is based on the basic concept of biological/genetic ownership, which is more fundamental than a legal decision of some emotionally frustrated judge or a social worker.

If a woman wants to leave relationship without good reason, there is a simple way for her to pack her belongings and head for the exit, it's not like she should be allowed to appropriate somebody else's children or money.

Women should really be granted complete equality with men in this area,and treated like any other stupid thief, and be locked up. Maybe even Hillary will finally end up in prison once it's clarified who Chelsea's father really is.

Yes this concept explains it succinctly but I’m having trouble following the parent comment. Is it said that a product is a tool or solution that people pay for and you cannot design it like you can a tool that people don’t pay for? Of course you can. In many ways this is the difference between open source and SaaS.
> It will provide some incentive for artists to pick tracks that will be popular enough to compensate for the reduced per play-profit

That means it will push the extreme Gini coefficient of music revenue even higher. The best-sellers will be able to pay and further reduce the opportunity for smaller artists to build an audience.

I do not see this as a good thing.
JetBrains Mono as my system and terminal font. It's very easy on the eyes.
I did engineering at a firm that built all its own machines for PC-based industrial testing equipment, about 50 per year.

It was totally not worth it for us, it was penny-wise and pound-foolish. We switched to buying some Advantech machines, and while the BOM cost was one $1200 line item compared to a long DIY BOM off pcpartpicker.com that ran closer to $600, all the engineering time we wasted on component selection and ordering and progress bars and BIOS configs and Windows update and cable ties and debugging reliability issues was much harder to quantify and probably significantly more than $600.

I think there's a few inflection points on the quantity/process value curve - Building 4 machines? That's a little one-day project for somebody. Building 400? Hire a technician, set up an assembly station, and develop some work instructions. Building 40? That's going to have one or two that need warranty work, and you're not going to recoup the investment required to develop a good process - just buy them from someone who has. Building 4000? Your process is now multiple technicians, an engineer, a purchasing agent, and some management, and support needs after-hours on-call people, and you need an inventory of spare parts...developing that capability is again more expensive than just buying it. Building 40,000? At that level, you're building a PC-construction business and you can sell your spare capacity to the 40-unit guys.

I read a fascinating and well-written article about 10 years ago about a woman (a lawyer iirc) who stepped into an elevator in a New York office building late one evening. Halfway down, the elevator got stuck due to a warped frame, and then suddenly dropped several floors from the weight of the still-unwinding cable.

The elevator then proceeded down to the lobby, but the woman was severely injured. The building was deserted so it took her a long time to get medical help, and afterwards people would not believe her since nobody else witnessed the accident.

Wish I could find the article gain. It reminded me that there are many badly maintained elevators out there and the fact that more of them are not involved in accidents is a testament to their redundant design.

To this day I am wary of stepping into an elevator in an old/sketchy building.
You could do that, but it doesn't achieve the goal that was being discussed.

Overall, I think the big win for Rust is when you need low-level, low-cost, low-memory, high-performance applications, at the cost of anything else. Rust is a great replacement for low-level C.

Unfortunately, those are not the features that you care about most in a compiler. In a compiler, your priorities are ease of extension, ease of specification, and ease of transformation. The last thing you want in a compiler language is to worry about ownership when trying to implement expression-rewriting optimizations. Conversely, OCaml is excellent at these things.

One must use SIMD and significant on-node parallelism to saturate a CPU or GPU machine. We have no disagreement there. The question is whether GPUs have a durable architectural advantage for versatile SIMD workloads. Their inverted cache hierarchy and lack of persistence between kernel launches is a concern for memory locality.

Regarding L3 bandwidth on EPYC, I have PDE solvers that exceed V100 global memory bandwidth for problem sizes that fit in EPYC L3 cache. I use NPS4 and eschew sharing data structures between CCX. This is the sweet spot for a sizable fraction of apps. The V100 is better value if you have more patience (and are thus able to batch or run larger problem sizes per device).
