And notably the 40% number has not changed since 1990, as [0] shows.

But it's misleading. As the OP showed, median housing prices is determined by the amount the median income can afford a house based on the interest rates. This means that to the CPI, a $500k house is equivalent to a $210k house was in 1990 as they both have the same payment. They will therefore have the same owner equivalent rents. And therefore even if prices have more than doubled in 30 years, the CPI will not show it.

And so we can reframe the argument from above as:

When the government calculates inflation, they look at prices of common goods, but not housing. Housing is based on monthly payment. That's why inflation is artificially low.

> Fox’s business model has long been based on scaring the crap out of aging Silent Majority viewers with a parade of anything-but-the-truth explanations for America’s decline.

Okay, so what is the truth? Isn’t that what everybody’s looking for? Give an uncontroversially factual explanation of that and people will start looking for solutions instead of problems. Unless they are the problem, and then they’ll be forced to engage in all-out propaganda war to convince people otherwise.

It seems to me that the truth is usually cheap and unprofitable. So if you want to know what the biggest lies are, see how much is being spent to convince you of something. Truth may often be associated with somebody losing a lot of money. These are GDP destroyers, stock market crashes waiting to happen. We’re all socially invested in preventing them.
Ah, what episode?
a) Not everyone thinks they're the good guy; some genuinely don't care. But yes, probably all of the people you mention do think that.

b) Nobody said that understanding, or even compassion, is mutually exclusive with action. I can seek to understand why the goat-herder was pushed to extremism at a systematic level (which could inform policy changes that mitigate the problem at the source), and even feel compassion for that original hardship, without condoning his later actions. I can even do so while supporting the use of force to stop him. These are all separate questions.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but the power to strike in Germany is tied strictly to workplace-related issues.

The place to do this would be in ingest, wouldn’t it? The ingest configuration is just Python, so one could conceivably write a module to assign accounts based on the incoming data. I know there was a module that would try to use ML to do that based on your account history.

If you don’t want to do that, another option is hledger. I used that for a while before deciding to switch back to beancount for its ingest process. However, considering I have made no progress on that over the last year, I might just go back to using hledger.

hledger’s ingest process is not as sophisticated as beancount’s. You can’t write arbitrary plugins like with beancount, but you can pattern match on the incoming text and assign accounts that way. You can also define automatic transactions in your books, which I found incredibly helpful for managing my budget.

It was the spam filter at work. I have tuned it just now. Would you please try once more and see if you can use it now?

By the way, this spam filter is one of the things I want to fix when I resume work on this project again. Currently, it blacklists IP addresses whereas ideally it should be blocking certain type of content only.
Fewer black/POC in tech, you get the AI/facial recognition problems we have today.

“A fix has been implemented”: for those just now seeing this, you’ve probably read this post unnecessarily :)
Truly, how the hell can they even justify such a posture, or how do employees not spit it back in their faces? I can see these (presumably tech) companies having a claim for IP if it was partly created through company resources, but having a rightful claim on anything that you as an employee do in your spare time while an employee? That's reprehensible and grotesquely absurd.
I don't think this is exactly true, according to other seemingly well-informed comments on this site, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25731121

Parler was moderated, and it was explicitly moderated for coherence with a right-wing/reactionary viewpoint. It was not a neutral, unfiltered platform.

What kind of argument is this? It’s a single app... how can you judge an operating system off of something that a) probably hasn’t been updated to support changes or b) kinda buggy because it happens to be a fairly invasive program.
>In Boston we constantly complain about the state of our public transit system

Have you seen the Big Dig? Look at the size of the check we wrote for that one. Now look at the kind of houses all the people who got to work on that project (whether in the office or in the field) in their mid and late careers (when you can make real money rather than be schlepping supplies around a job site for a "you haven't put in your time yet" size check) are living in.

Waste like that is why nobody wants to increase taxes. Pretty much anything more than the bare minimum seems to just slowly evaporate. The money goes poof before it trickles down into programs, infrastructure and services that actually provide benefit to the taxpayer. People would rather ride on a crappy T and pay marginally less tax than pay more tax to ride on a crappy T that has a handful more spots in the org chart for politicians to fill with people who won't show up.

Look at the semi-annual (well, let's be fair and give them credit, it's more like 3yr) state police "fraudulent overtime" scandal. It goes way, way back. Remember when the Probation Department got caught paying salaries to political appointees who didn't show up and didn't have any job duties? Remember when there was that enforcement/compliance arm of the Dept. of Elder Affairs that didn't actually exist like it was supposed to because the money was redirected to pay for more (politically appointed) middle managers who just forwarded emails all day? This is what "raising taxes" looks like in Massachusetts. For every $10 spent you'll be lucky to have a buck actually be used to run a bus, patch a pothole pay for healthcare, etc. etc. It's no surprise that people don't wanna pay for that.

People will pay for public services. Nobody really cares whether the garbage truck driver gets his pay stub on private letterhead or government letterhead. Nobody really cares whether they have public or private EMT services so long as they show up with equal promptness. What people won't pay for is public leeches and Massachusetts has done a very good job cultivating the perception that you can't buy one of the former without getting ten of the latter in the deal. No surprise that people don't wanna take that deal.

Downvote? I'm confused. This whole "Apple gets to bypass firewalls" thing is IMO a huge deal.

Whoever figures out how to make a system-wide firewall that can block everything including "unblockable" Apple network traffic likely deserves (again: IMO) all the attention we can give them.
Arm is not hobby hardware. I was running it on a scaleway instance (they have phased out arm instances ever since).
I do agree 100% with you. That's why I do think we need to decrease the power of the state and also the power of the corporations using a modern antitrust law. If they power continues to grow, we'll live in a totalitarian state, dictate by politicians and corporations together.
It’s hard to do this in XML because parsers nearly always strip out comments and often whitespace too. Thus writing days to the file strips out important data that I expect to be able to add if the file were truly human writable.

I'd think this kind of thing gets discovered organically. Airlines constantly buy and sell planes. South American airlines will notice that they can sell couple-year-old aircraft to the US for good money and upgrade to brand new Airbuses at hardly any cost to them.

> Meanwhile Sinovac is being tried for corruption in China, and their defense was actually confirm they paid bribes to officials in various countries to approve their vaccines (not Coronavirus ones, the trial is about 2011 stuff), but claim that the officials (including Instituto Butantã related officials) that used extortion, and thus they are victims, not perpetrators of the crime.

Where can I read about this? Would like to know more about it since the National Government here in the Philippines will use the one created by Sinovac for vaccination and they're trying their best to convince people despite the public skepticism regarding the lower efficacy rates which seems to indicate what you've said.
Not really. Git's history is 100% fungible, you can mix and match git's history like a swiss army knife. There are VCS's out there that have unfungible history. Fossil SCM is one such VCS.

Git is an amazing VCS swiss army knife. That doesn't make it the best tool for a given job.
That seems to go against the core thesis of the video.

The Red Line was going to extend out to Arlington and then 128... but Arlington blocked it. You'll see several rationales listed, but the big one was racism: Arlington (now a liberal bastion like Cambridge) was afraid that "those people" would come to their town.

What Massachusetts needs is a coherent state-wide plan that handles transit on a public-first rather than car-first strategy. What we've got is a set of non-cooperating agencies all trying to deal with local problems.
Regardless of the source I think the main point folks are missing is that a lot of DE jobs will require you to know Scala so it's a good tool to have if you want to be a DE somewhere.

SQL is also an amazing tool and you should definitely learn if but there are a lot of DE jobs out there with Scala in the "Requirements" section of the job listing. Parts of the industry might be moving away from it, but if you're looking to make a jump into DE I think you're hamstringing yourself by avoiding Scala.

I am on the same page as her. In the US we have not had the slightest problem with the government censoring us; that has all befallen us thanks to companies being bullied by social activists, perhaps especially by their own employees.

I meant more moderate than burning a Target store or starting a revolution as in the tweet.

People keep saying this, but all evidence from each time lockdowns have slightly lifted is it's not true. If anything, those who have been lucky enough to keep their jobs during the pandemic (often the ones more likely to go on holiday anyway) are going to be more likely to take those big trips once the vaccine has been distributed.

It is a founding principle of western civilization that you cannot be prosecuted for thoughts and ideas. All viewpoints and thoughts are equal before the law; only actions can be prosecuted.

> We need to stop pretending like everyone's viewpoint is equal and we shouldn't exclude people for what they believe. Violent racists should be ostracized and pushed out of society. People who choose to have those kinds of beliefs are a constant threat to the safety of people around them.

I will hard disagree with this every day of the week. To me this is a clear example of how ideology has taken the place of religion in today's society. It's no longer enough for you to be civil and respect the laws, but even having the wrong thoughts is considered criminal, just like lust and envy are considered sinful in religion.

We're heading in a dark direction if we're re-adopting the same principles and perspectives that were behind McCarthyism, let alone used to burn witches and conduct the Inquisition.

Good point about symmetry & unimodality. You could easily construct a bimodal example where the method fails entirely.

But in the post above that I was sloppy and said "no assumptions about the distribution at all". Good catch.

I simply don't care. Sure, there's slippery slope arguments and discussions to be had about who gets to decide what is and isn't acceptable speech.

Right now though there's a small group of people looking to cause harm and damage using tools that barely existed 10 years ago and our laws won't keep up. Antisemitism and racism have no place in the world and private companies have no business profiting from its proliferation. Silicon Valley wants to use its power to make it harder for people with those views to meet, organize and share their views? Crack on.

And they've explained this multiple times. Aaron was given the title of co-founder, but he joined well after the site had launched, and then proceeded to go AWOL and not work for months until he was fired. Given that he was only very briefly involved in the site, it doesn't make sense to call him a co-founder, even if that was his de jure title.

E: At the same time, I feel like I should state - Aaron Swartz was a martyr, and I don't mean to disparage him or his legacy.

Except Twitter and Youtube routinely moderate their content.

It isn't perfect but they are actively and publicly doing so. Parler publicly seems to take the stance of no to little moderation. I haven't read the hacked info from the site on principle of how it was distributed/hacked but seems that data confirms it based on others notes in the thread
But the presence of BLM-related riots simply isn't relevant to the stuff under discussion, where an upthread poster made a sideways argument that evidence for right wing violence was presumptivly suspect in the fact of multiple examples of exactly that kind of thing. The police station in Minneapolis that was burned down (to pick what most people would accept as the worst example of BLM-related violence) just shouldn't be part of a discussion about whether or not there was a threat against Amazon's data centers from the right.

This is pure whataboutism, basically. Even if you're right (for the record, I think you're right), you're applying it to deflect an argument against "your" side. Isn't that making the problem you are explaining WORSE and not better?

Surely you'd agree that step one to being less divided is to stop reflexively defending "our" side when bad things happen, right?

It would make for a good enough edge/home cluster node. Buy 5 of these, each with two SATA SSDs/HDDs, SFP+ uplink to cheap 10G switch [1], run k8s/k3s, might even be able to squeeze in Ceph.

2.5G switches are expensive and rare. If you want to make use of multiple links to an L2 ToR, you have to set up LACP which is annoying. You could do ECMP for L3 LB instead, but that requires an even more expensive switch.

These things start at the top - based on what the US govt decides or does not decide to regulate. With a lack of regulation, we all know the "free markets" reign to a point where they are no longer free and instead enhance divisions in society and further monopolies.

Amazon, Facebook, Google are too big. They've provided great benefits to society to date - but govt needs to step in and control them now.
