I can't confirm your experience at all. I've had a serious car accident after which they kept me on opium in the hospital for three days. After they replaced it with weaker pain treatment compounds I didn't have any desire to go back, despite how I was feeling when taking opium. I wouldn't say they're instantly addictive.

It makes no difference to initialize the pointer to nullptr, actually. Also, neither GCC, nor Clang produce a single warning with -Wall here.

Ideally, I think, the pointer should be null and one would get some sort of error to the effect 'you didn't initialize that pointer, dummy'.

It would be somewhat expected if it was initialized randomly and just jumped to some completely random part of the code. That wouldn't be great, but at least it would crash most of the time.

But what clang is doing here is engaging in bizarre evil genie deduction:

1. Undefined behavior isn't a thing
2. So Do() can't be UB
3. The only way for it not be UB, is for NeverCalled() to get called somehow, though it never is.
4. Perhaps something unseen does that from outside this compilation unit.
5. So we're going to make that assumption out of thin air, and not say a single peep about it.
How many people use YouTube and how many people currently own bitcoin? The difference is probably currently several orders of magnitude.

If Bitcoin truly does become the new money to which everyone benefits from, the price will probably go up by several orders of magnitude and so will the hashing power.

A few years ago I strongly defended this very point on here HN. As far as I knew, you only need to signal while owning the lock if you want to rely on the stronger guarantees of realtime scheduling.

Since then I stumbled upon another scenario were you need to hold the lock for correctness: a producer calls pthread_cond_signal which wakes up a waiter that then destroys the condition variable. This would get flagged by tsan and often cause segfaults especially when the memory is freed. It was not obvious from the docs that this is not allowed, but as apparently pthread_cond_signal can still inspect the condition variable states after waking a waiter.

My use case was fairly simple (I was implementing an event count), so I reimplemented it on top of a raw futex and made sure that signal would return straight away, but signaling while holding the mutex and only destroying the condvar after releasing the mutex would have also fixed it.
I don't think OP is arguing that this is a violation of the language spec; they're arguing that the spec (as implemented) is stupid.

We offer a standard handling of contractor agreements, in which our database knows exactly what the regulation for each country is, and what the corresponding gross up has to be in order for the contractor to net the desired income. We assist contractors in their tax residence, to optimize their payouts to government, while keeping everything 100% compliant so the company is not as risk. Whenever regulations get too complex for independent contractos in a country, we offer plug and play, which is an outsourcing of the contractor, and Ontop hires them.
I'm not sure the circus ring finale works on its own. It's the denouement of the whole film that has been building to this point. Mastroianni is struggling with all his relationships: his work, his wife, girlfriend, producer, then he finally turns a corner and is able to celebrate his life for what it is. What I love about 8 1/2 is how the camera is always moving and spinning, taking on Mastroianni's point of view. Characters keep popping up in your face and you feel swept along with the movement. Now that I'm older, I enjoy it more than when I first saw it: it's a film about life, not just Mastroianni/Guido's problems and relationships, all the other characters have their own issues as well. But the surrealism and humor keep it from becoming a downer: when Guido's girlfriend shows up at the same cafe with his wife, Guido has to pretend he doesn't see her, but of course his wife does...awkward ! When Guido quits the film, his critic tell him he made the right decision, never mind the money, it's part of a producer's job to lose money! And when it all becomes suffocating, he climbs out of his car window and flies away.
Who the fuck do we owe, the Martians? How long before we just accept that money is made up and free ourselves of this make believe game? Just give people what they need to survive and let the unwieldy and inefficient private sector die, we're propping them all up with tax money already anyway and they still barely tread water.
Not really. That's about 10% of the current debt.

Also, it's not a stimulus package. People need to stop calling it that. A stimulus is intended to get people spending money because they're all scared and keeping their money in savings. This is meant to keep people afloat because they have no income.
I don't know about China, but I would guess that the economies of scale might have an impact. If you are planning to building 100 power plants, you can probably design your processes such that after the initial production, the further ones could be built much quicker.. as you already have your assembly lines ready and busy.

Yep. America feels like a "has been" for the most part. Short-termism and debt servicing woes has ensured there is nothing new happening.

i wonder how much of this is obama policies and how much is trump policies. also im not sure debt is a fine-grained enough metric to be meaningful. some debt can drive the economy forward and some is rent-seeking wealth destruction.
Don't have a Mac so can't look into it but can anyone confirm this test is actually right? E.g. Brave claims (I don't use Brave I just know they had this claim) Safari is worse for memory usage https://brave.com/brave-one-dot-zero-performance-methodology... while this product that uses Safari claims it's 10x better.

Obviously both claims can't be true. From what I remember with Edge (pre Chromium) and Firefox I'm going to guess Safari doesn't really use 1/10th the memory of everyone else - maybe I'm just not familiar though!

This is not about "registering", there are specific guidelines that you must meet to be eligible to get paid by Google and Facebook as a part of this scheme.

A key part is that you must be focused on producing "core news" and make like $150k annually from it. A sports-news-only org would not be eligible, under my understanding.

it's a future you (i.e., decendents) who pays back the debt. The expectation is that they can, because of the investment _you're_ making right now by using this debt. Future productivity is expected to grow.

Now, whether this is actually the case remains to be seen...

Text is free of dominance gestures and emotions ? Have you ever paid attention to the words a politician might say? or the lyrics of a rap song? there are words in text that convey more emotions and gestures than if the speaker was face-to-face spitting the words personally on you. Even more when you know the original speaker beforehand and your brain is animating the syntax with their face and voice.

It's just a tradeoff ladder. Pictures represent pure unmitigated creativity, photographs represent the world, text is pictures + grammar, mathematics is when you compress the grammar to a few dead-simple rules that yiu could teach a bunch of silicate rocks to understand. At each step in the ladder, you lose freedom and expressiveness broadness but you gain freedom and expressiveness in a much more Domain-Specific way. And off course there are imperfections and leakages everywhere.

> We owe ourselves 356% of what we produce every year?

This assumes that people think of the world as a single unit. Last 4 years should reveal our primitive minds.
This story is about global total debt, not global government debt.

It includes private sector debt as well.

If total government debt was 356% of GDP, we would be in huge trouble. Fortunately that’s not what this number indicates.
Private sector had multiple pharma firms ready to go to create vaccines to cure us from terrible virus. If we had one “efficient” government firm we wouldn’t have anything.

From what I can tell, each DC tie to the Eastern Interconnect is 800MW max, while apparently the normal draw for this time of year on the Texas Interconnect is something like 45GW.

So those two interconnects can only provide 3.5% of total power usually being consumed by the grid, which was obviously not nearly enough for this Black Swan event.

Yeah, they are currently decommissioning all West German nuclear plants (initially announced by the Social-Democrat/Green government before 2005, then delayed by the Christian-Democrat/Social-Democrat government, then finally set to 2022 after Fukushima), but this is much later than 1990, when the Greifswald plant was decommissioned. Of course, that was only 4 years after Chernobyl, that may help explain the decision...

The assertions that the are made in the article seem like something that should be backed up with studies and not anecdotal evidence from one person (even if he is well respected).

It is an incredibly slippery slope for people to walk out on. It would be incredibly hard for someone to say whether or not they will spiral out of control if they try it and the consequences of becoming heavily addicted are life destroying. It seems like playing Russian roulette and I'm not sure it's a good thing to raise the idea that one can potentially manage it. Also, the person being interviewed could be one of the people that can't control it and will spiral out of control or him saying he manages it well and it's possible to do so could be a facade and he could be trying to do whatever possible to keep his habit alive, but we just don't know. Many people manage it fine for years without anyone knowing until they start their sharp decline towards bottom.

While true - 'traditional' underwriting would not allow that kind of risk, as the lack of slack to be able to take a vacation means another life challenge (6 months without a job?) would likely result in a default at the worst time for selling the asset - when a bunch of other people are out a job.

Same with requirements for large downpayments (20% traditionally) - more skin in the game for the buyer, along with more cushion for the bank to make their money back if the market is down when a default happens.

Thinner margins, higher leverage happens near the top of debt cycles (typically) as lenders get desperate for return, and amp up risk. The type of leverage it allows also inflates asset prices, as money is 'easier' and people who want asset x can leverage higher to get it, increasing demand.
Not sure if that's typical, but my perspective is this: I know almost nothing about energy infrastructure, and even less about local conditions and history in that field. I do tend to lend credibility to HN users who seem to have detailed knowledge, like cbmuser. However, I also see that they are often engaged in heated discussions where basic statements of facts are disputed on both sides.

With that in mind, I don't see why it would have to be inflammatory to ask cbmuser if a) they work in that field b) there are potential conflicts of interest and c) what their general outlook is. Even if there is a conflict of interest, that wouldn't invalidate their positions, of course, it's just something to keep in mind when reading.

The "world" doesn't owe the "world" that amount, it's people in already tight situations owing that to people in pretty comfortable ones. The ones borrowing to get by are paying more money than what they borrowed to people who already had money to lend out.

What we'll see is yet another rise in inequality, yet another wave of the bigger businesses surviving over the smaller ones, and more debates within each government regarding how much intervention is wanted to try and save people from the consequences of those inequalities.

> We don't owe this money to some foreign planet with a death-star pointing at us

One, not all that debt is termed to one year. And two, it’s an internal transmission mechanism.

If two people produce $50 a year, and one owes the other $100 in four years and the other owes the one $100 in five years, that’s a perfectly fine 200% debt to annual production ratio. For years 1, 2, 3 and 5, their positions will be equal. In year 4, there will be inequality. If one or the other defaults, that inequality would persist even though aggregate indebtedness went down.

Most of money today is from issued loans. The worst that happens is like the fears in 2008, where the loans (or the assets bought for those loans) are worth a lot less, and hence a lot of money will be as well.
