> 19 Black Americans shot out of some 30,000,000 or more... and how many were actively resisting arrest as we've seen time and time again once all the footage is released.

Shoot first, ask questions later. Why are you highlighting black people at all when I specifically said black or not? About 1000 people get shot every year by police in the US, last year in the UK it was about 5 IIRC.

I'm pretty sure Breonna Taylor wasn't resisting arrest, but go ahead.

What you’re describing are not suburbs. I’ve lived in suburbs my entire life, and have never been more than 10 minutes from a high school - let alone a middle school.

What your describing sounds a lot more like a remote rural town. And a small one at that!

Thanks. Interesting proposal at the end:

> The obvious and highly desirable alternative to the Nvidia deal is for the government to use its convening power to lead a syndicate of ARM licensees, UK pension funds and other institutions to take ARM public on the LSE + NYSE or Shanghai Star market and take a golden share so that we are never again in this invidious situation of having to fight to keep our own UK technology assets.
I'm also Czech, and I don't trust any of this. Methodology is suspect, and barely described. And as someone already pointed in the comments, this needs to be double blind, to avoid suggestions from the dog trainer. I'd also like to see control samples from people with other respiratory illnesses, etc.
If this can be programmed to work as an MSX mouse I could finally attach a mouse to the Roland S-330 sampler I bought used 25 years ago.

I really, really wanted one back in the day but could never find one for a sensible price. At the time they were like rocking horse crap.

EDIT: Doh! Just looked on ebay for the price of a real MSX mouse and the first result is a USB-to-MSX converter specifically mentioning Roland samplers.

I guess I can't have been that desperate for one.

Maybe it's just me but the study (and also the studies it is trying to disprove) seem a bit ridiculous to me, as none of them seem to adjust for cost of living, even though that will vary by a huge factor in basically every country.
The Enlightened Liberals Who Will Save Us From Ourselves cannot tolerate the unwashed masses living independently without big government and high taxes. This is why rural dwellers are cast in the media as knuckle dragging racists
Why don’t we need a study? What is obvious? (Seriously)
You should read my other post to get the full context. Surely you don't believe the Fed could buy $100 quadrillion worth of low interest government bonds tomorrow without consequence (although that distortion would peg the interest rate to whatever low rate they bought at). While Krugman is technically right that the CPI does not increase, it is for the wrong reasons, and he does not seem to be aware or care that other assets inflate as a direct consequence. Take a look at the increase in GDP adjusted equities and population adjusted real estate indices over the last two decades [0][1].

The point is that we have been experiencing inflated asset prices from these operations, another form of inflation. Because these benefit a relatively small proportion of the US population, it doesn't spill into staples as much as if it were helicopter dropped. Whereas when the Fed prints money for a stimulus check, it is more directly inflationary. We will see that with the $2000 stimulus checks, although that will be a drop in the bucket compared to Social Security once it becomes insolvent, assuming the Fed starts printing money to fund it.

> Want to reduce wealth inequality? Increase taxation/redistribution.

It seems we are in agreement if you read the last part of the sentence you quoted. Long term capital gains on 20 billion dollars of realized income is less than the effective rate paid by a doctor or engineer who made $400k. However, just because tax brackets are a problem, doesn't mean Fed market interventions aren't also creating problems.

From your "inflation truthers" link, it seems to be shut down pretty effectively in the discussion you also linked. If you want to understand why in a more quantitative way than Carlson's ramblings against a straw man, see this graph: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?graph_id=532320&rn=290#0. This is the approximate percentage of household paper wealth tied up in equities. Monetary policy has changed substantially since record keeping began, but we can see that higher highs and higher lows are being sustained over time as the Fed becomes more trigger happy with open market operations and low interest rates.

There's probably some study of highly successful people that shows that the sociopaths with no friends tend to become CEOs so people want to follow in their footsteps to get the maximum score in life.
No one who didn't have a philosophical axe to grind in the other direction is surprised by this.

I think probably this and the original article it's countering are both essentially junk science and represent a serious problem though. We have become used to having strong binary statements about nuanced socio/economical/physcological phenomenon throw out as capital S Science. And then the obvious second paper comes out with the opposite conclusion which is also presented as "Science".

Think of all the stuff online "Science says this is the beset way to fold your clothes" and they link to some weak paper that mentions that there is some benefit to doing something maybe in some constrained situation. Is it any wonder we have a society of people half of whom think it's all bullshit?

Yes, these studies use the same scientific process regarding hypotheses and data collection as a physics or chemistry experiment but the nature of that data is VERY different and conflating the two is a mistake in my opinion.

I was just going to say this. This is what many people do not understand, it's "the cheapest" technology but the cost of the necessary ancillary services, balancing mechanism, FFR, inertia, etc., to make this happen is not baked into the LCOE models. That's how shortsighted this sort of messages are.

You are assuming Gates had a bad reputation to launder. He certainly had a bad reputation in some parts of the tech world, but I don't recall the average person feeling that way.

Heck, he has probably got many more people who dislike him now because of the global health work, due to the antivax people and the conspiracy theorists. See this petition last year at whitehouse.gov that wants the Gates Foundation investigated for crimes against humanity, and got almost 700k signatures.

It pushes HMG towards executing better or changing priorities.

That and it raises the their personal and party profile while highlighting the opposition doing poorly.

I'd argue that UK politics don't tend to be won on ideas but mainly on perception of competency.
> Many of those currently leaving SF and NYC are wealthy enough ... Why are wealthy people leaving?

Maybe you have noticed a worldwide event this past year that temporarily impedes many of the activities people moved to SF and NYC to enjoy?

But anecdotally, most of the people I know who have left SF in the past several years were not especially wealthy (by SF standards at least) and have growing children. (This is a biased selection, since I spent lots of time at the playground.) The reasons for leaving included: rent-controlled apartment felt too small but moving to a market-rate bigger apartment was unaffordable; child care was too expensive compared to free help someplace else from grandparents / extended family; parents wanted their children to experience a suburban childhood similar to their own; parents didn't want to send their children to schools alongside poor children, but couldn't afford or didn't want to pay for private school, so preferred to move to a less economically diverse school district; parent's temporary city job finished, and the newly found job happened to be somewhere else.

The wealthier families I know have been less likely to move, since they either have a big enough home or can afford to move to one; can afford to pay for nannies etc., or can afford to have one parent stay home; can afford private school if they want; have more permanent jobs or an easier time finding a new job in the same area; ...
I detest these agenda driven articles.

I lived most of my life in dense, walkable, rental neighborhoods. It took years to get out and I don’t regret it one bit.

It is impossible to have downtime when you’re surrounded above, below, and all around you with neighbors.

It’s also impossible to state how different an owner-maintained building is from a landlord-maintained one.

A better approach would be how to create walkable suburbs, with all of the benefits but none of the downsides.

Instead, the articles are taking the lazy approach; and takes a lazy approach to reasoning on why homeowners are becoming more scarce.

Edit: The timing of the article couldn’t also be worse. Covid has suddenly shown that density has significant downsides.

I wouldn't say "no problem whatsoever." Lots of things encode Unix time as a 32 bit signed integer, which can't date back further than 1901.

Any fixed-with type is going to have a lower- and upper-bound; whether it has a sign or not doesn't change that.

If git was trying to choose a bound for a 32 bit timestamp, I think 1970 is a reasonable starting point; doubling your future space is more important than covering space in the past. If it's 64-bit, though, then it's kind of silly to not just envelop the entirety of human history with all the room you've got (as a 64 bit signed integer with 0=year 1970 does).
In big cities perhaps but it allows you to live quite well in smaller towns.

From the scrypt paper (which keep in mind is assuming hardware from 2002, and isn't assuming an attacker is using ASICs which have been developed since then)

Just to be clear, the scrypt paper assumes attackers use ASICs fabricated with 2002-era technology. Obviously there weren't any scrypt ASICs in 2002; but I was able to estimate what their performance and cost would have been.
This article doesn't discuss why the organization in question didn't just self-host their own fediverse presence, perhaps using a CMS plugin like one available for WordPress. I'm not familiar at all with this "InfoSec Handbook" group but what I'd like to see at some point is a software platform that allows organizations to spin up fedi presences at their own domain (Write.as does this, but it'd be nice to have other players in the ecosystem), or even if traditional SaaS vendors would just adopt the underlying W3C protocols to allow for that.
I got my first computer around the time that happened, a humble Pentium 1.

It was only much, much later that I learned about Linux, then FreeBSD and the whole history behind UNIX, RISC machines and all that - at a point when it was mostly history.

I even acquired some machines out of pure fascination.
I got an IBM RS/6000, a Sun Ultra45 and a Blade 100.

Still gotta get a MIPS and, especially, an Alpha machine.

These machines seemed so much more serious compared to PCs, I was blown away when I discovered there had been 64 bit architectures in the mid-90s!
To this day, PCs seem like toys to me with their gimmick-y firmware.

It always left me wondering about what could have been.
And Alpha may have been the most promising back in the day!
IIRC Segments were used to speed up (para?) virtualization, before built-in support in the ISA.

Segment registers are also used as thread pointer, but that special case is still supported even in 64 bit mode.

Are you 4x as happy as your friends?
I'm not sure how much you know or don't know, so it might be hard to know where to start.

Over the past few years as China's economic growth has slowed for everyone (but less so for the upper middle class and the wealthy), there's a lot of growing discontent that's turning into outright hostility towards white and black foreigners who poorer Chinese people see as "hurting the Chinese economy" in some way.

This is exacerbated by local Chinese media outlets and party politicians that need a place to put the blame, and so immigrants are chosen. You can't blame the Party. For what ought to be obvious reasons (see: Jack Ma).

Westerners don't really see this because if you read The Economist, the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal and/or listen to Fox Business, CNBC, Bloomberg, etc., then according to them, China is the land of plenty - a veritable mine full of diamonds and platinum waiting to be extracted. These people aren't stupid by the way - they know that China's economy is a glass house that could be fairly easily cracked. They have the same information you have, they can see the enormous tracts of empty 20-50 story-tall apartment buildings. They just don't care, because they (falsely) think that economic interest is the sole motivator of Chinese policy. I mean, what else could it be, right?? Why would anyone care about anything but profit? So they discard any information that could lead them to different conclusions about the economic prospects of the nation. For the very few that haven't been brainwashed by business school, the promise of 1,000,000,000 future middle class customers is just too much to ignore, but they too are blinded by greed, but they're blind to how China operates. China wants to own it. They don't want their customers using Samsung and Apple phones and LG washing machines and driving Teslas. They want their customers using Huawei and Xiaomi phones, and using Chinese washing machines, and driving Chinese electric cars.

So anyway... because of poor central planning - because unfortunately all central planning is poor by its very nature, you need people to be able to be flexible based upon local circumstances and conditions - the effects are starting to be felt, by the poorest Chinese. And like all poor people, they tend to blame immigrants.

It isn't a critical problem - yet - but many foreign workers (mostly white, Western, educated one) are starting to leave because the climate is becoming hostile.
The other side of Covid‐19 pandemic: Effects on male fertility
I think I mostly avoid these words because of the ambiguity -- I know I know what they mean, but I also know that other people use them for other things, so as a result, they can't be used. "decimate" is a word I'd like to use on occasion, but I know that the real meaning and the common meaning are pretty much opposites. Best to avoid.

A trend I've noticed is that people take longer words that sound like shorter words, and start using them to "sound smart". Consider "utilization" and "usage", which are just synonyms for "use". Start throwing around three letter words when you could use an eleven letter word and people will think you're dumb.

I still call a pushbutton switch "momentary on", though. I hope people don't think that means that the circuit turns on after a delay.

If the product is anything like the pwnagotchi, many could use this as an alternative to research intercepting / cracking local wifi.

My understanding may be a bit dated, but unauthorized access of any network in the US is a crime. There's exceptions in other countries, but with the potential passive nature of the device, it seems terrifying that you could keep this in a backpack, leave it on when passing a major corp office in the city that cracks their wifi, and get charged with something serious.

Go easy on me if I'm over thinking this or if I've got it all wrong here. I haven't looked into this since around 2013ish, after reading laws regarding hacking non-wifi 2.4ghz radio waves used in drones and RC scared me out of going any further. Also asked a professor who told me basically it's not worth the trouble to even get approval for research.

>I wouldn't call it racist.

I would. Sure, in most cases people don't actively dislike you when compared with some Japanese people that spew vitriol and really have it out for Koreans or Chinese, but you still get treated differently and often not in a good way.

I've met many, many people over the years, myself included, who wound up developing a love/hate relationship with Japan because of the racism.
Your rank-and-file conservative doesn’t articulate it in those terms, obviously. But my family in Oregon doesn’t like the federal government ruling them from 3,000 miles away for concrete reasons. (In their case it’s long-standing family bitterness at the government seizing their homestead to build the pacific coast highway.) Those same social and political phenomena are present the world over, and are the reason federal systems exist all over the world.

Yes, it’s a William F. Buckley type that might make the comparison to Switzerland to explain how federalism is a neutral principle. But that doesn’t mean that what the folks in Oregon feel is merely pretext for racism. Just because someone can’t articulate their attitudes in terms of political theory (in this case, the resentment people have for being governed from afar and the governmental structures created to mitigate that) doesn’t mean that those attitudes can’t be explained in terms of that political theory. The Buckley type is just articulating and explaining concrete social phenomena on the ground.
Anecdotally, there was a point somewhere between $x and $y where I just stopped looking at the bank account when making minor purchase decisions.

This fed into an attitude of buying the right thing the first time. It is a contributor to my ability to spend money to eat better and the resulting health improvements that further feedback into a better life.

Furthermore, my attitude has shifted from "get wealthy" (20s) to "optimize for time." (30s) and that too has impacted my perception on what career and lifestyle I want.

All this is to say: I do believe there is a soft cap on what money does for your wellbeing. I think the cap probably varies from person to person, and that everyone should try to figure out how to detect what it is for them, lest they burn non-renewable resources going past it. No amount of money makes you or your kids young again.
