>they could automate flagging for human review instead.

I'm not sure this would save them in many cases. Most of the abusive content on facebook is not easily identifiable. I don't think the current AI systems are up to the task. They may be able to identify a human and a dog are in the video but not tell the difference between petting the dog or punching it.

Similarly they likely can not tell the difference between someone at a shooting range or committing a mass shooting.

Just like it is too much to expect police to stop all crime before it happens, I think it is too much to expect platforms to remove violating content before it is reported.
Interesting! Maybe that's an expansion opportunity after we've treated all the humans.
I’m about 3 years into an experiment in which I try to determine if fountain pens can reduce waste and be less expensive overall. This is the first time I’ve ever used fountain pens and am finding that success is likely, with the side effect of increased writing enjoyment. I bought a Lamy Safari and a Pilot Metropolitan with refillable tanks. These are “cheap” pens.

Funny thing - I once was cleaning one of the pens in the sink at work and a colleague noticed, and happily told me of his happy memories with fountains pens growing up in India. There were a few others in the room who heard and started a conversation about childhood, school, and especially the anxiety of school exams with their fountain pens. It was a real treat.

> You claim that central banks depreciate the currency because they "think wages among the working class are too high." But rhetorically, you are doing more than just referring to the explanation I gave above. You are implying that central banks "think" working class wages are too high, and want to lower them to hurt working class people.

Oh I know it does seem like the banks “want to hurt working class people” when you look at what they are doing and why. But thats an unnecessary hypothesis. They don’t need to care about working class people at all, just the financial interests of the oligarchs.

> Which is the opposite of the standard explanation - the purpose of inflation in that instance is to implicitly reduce the downward rigidity of wages so that employment does not contract as much in a downturn.

In other words, trick the workers into taking a pay cut, because they make too much money. “For their own good” and how convenient that it happens to pump up the assets that the wealthy own.

> Presumably you, champion of the working class, would rather more people be unemployed?

I want them to be unemployed the same way you want them to make less money in real terms.

> I reckon you'll find some JSON parsers already use bigints already

Yep. Python is one such language. I've seen this catch people by surprise when they discover their serial number (which granted, should have been a string in the first place) doesn't survive a trip from Python to JSON to Javascript, among other languages.
Of course you're assuming they have anyone left at the company that understand the software. So many times the original team that wrote it is gone, and there is a plate of spaghetti left for the next group to figure out.
Oh my where to even begin.

> Citation for your claim that everyone has access to cheap credit. Are you aware of payday loans?

I have at no point stated that. What I said is that inflation affects all debts equally.

Interest rate on loans is defined on "cost plus" basis, where "cost" is the treasury interest rate, and the "plus" is based on your default risk. However, the "cost" is the same for everyone no matter what.

Inflation isn't even the "cost" term. Inflation reduces the value of the principal of every loan the same amount regardless of who took it out or at what interest rate. The principal. Not the interest.

That knocks out your first 5 or 6 points.

> Do you mean someone worth $110k has a $100k mortgage? Or do you mean someone worth -$90k has $10k in assets and liabilities totalling $100k?

You can get a mortgage with as little as 3% down payment, so yes, I am referring to someone who has a $100K mortgage debt, a $100K house an $10K in other, misc assets like savings or investments. This person is leveraged 10X. I don't know for a fact billionaires don't leverage themselves 10X but I can't fathom why they would unless they're on r/WallStreetBets.

> No, the bankers are the ones who made the conscious decision. Good rhetorical judo tho.

Ok so a business sees their revenues go up 2%, and their costs go up 2%, and during annual comp review they say... "let's set the increase in salaries at 0% even though we know inflation is 2%" -- the bankers did that? Were they on the conference call? That's a lot of calls to schedule!

> Some of it is basically common knowledge, like poor people not having the collaterall, credit history, or social value required to access the same loans as billionaires. Some of it just seems like fundamental misunderstanding on your part, like your belief that all prices inflate at the same rate.

You introduced all of these things, not me, and you did so based on a misunderstanding of my point.

Small electric aircraft are already available. They're mostly used as trainers.[1] Range is poor, but they're great for practicing takeoffs and landings. The motor isn't the problem. As usual, the battery is.

It's probably much better for the urban environment, in terms of people not breathing gasoline exhaust (doubly so for breathing two-stroke gasoline exhaust from a motorcycle, which is more of an alternative than a big car). The lead-acid batteries on some of the cheapest ones are a little iffy, though, and the carbon consumption isn't a huge win.
> Agreed upon mentoring sessions that can be scheduled work a lot better from this regard.

Yes I would like this
> Imagine last year you bought some asset, that someone else did not, and it appreciated 2% with the price level. You are not any better off.

I am better off if the nominal value of that asset matters, which it does if I want to sell it or leverage it. And anyone on a dollar denominated income is worse off.

> I see you are implying that the other person "couldn't afford" to invest and kept their money in cash instead, to argue that the other person is worse off.

You misunderstand, they don’t need to “keep their money in cash”. The asset price increased. Thats all. They are paid less in real terms, by design, therefore the asset costs more to them, because of inflation.

> the issue here is holding cash, not the wealth disparity.

This applies to people who are paid in dollars, it does not require them to hold them.

> Don't hold cash if you are worried about inflation.

Obviously the wealthy are in much better position to take this advice than the middle class, the working class, and the poor. Therefore inflation benefits the wealthy disproportionately.
That's really not too accurate. The most efficient aircraft are sailplanes (the high end ones usually have a motor, BTW), and they operate at lower altitudes typically. Lift-to-drag of 70 has been achieved. The SR-71's L/D is probably classified still, but probably around 7 or so.

The issue is a certain aircraft has an optimum cruise altitude. If you try to fly fast at low altitude, it'll be horrendously inefficient. If you try to fly higher, you'll often be beyond the maximum lift coefficient so you'll be less efficient or you'll stall.

To first order, efficiency is independent of cruise velocity.

The range for an electric aircraft (this is basic physics) is:
Range = (battery specific energy) * efficiency * (L/D) * (mass_battery/mass_total)/gravity.

Altitude and air density and velocity do not directly figure into the calculation as you pick your cruise altitude to maximize your (L/D). And maximum L/D depends somewhat loosely on Reynolds number (which, granted, does depend on speed) and especially Mach Number. If you can keep totally subsonic flow (i.e. usually up to about Mach 0.5), your maximum (L/D) doesn't directly depend on speed.

Sailplanes increase their speed (at optimal glide ratio) by putting on ballast. You can achieve the same effect by cruising at higher altitudes.*
Personally, dependent types never worked for me the way I thought they would when I first learnt about them (I was quite enthusiastic about them and about constructive mathematics initially). I found them too verbose, and too nitpicky. Your list membership is a great example: Usually, I am not concerned with where in the list does the element occur, list membership as a predicate is perfectly natural and usually adequate (but admittedly, if that's the only use case, better use a set than a list). I think an elegant mathematical argument wins not only by what is said, but also by what can be left unsaid.

But yes, being able to work with functions as data is also very important! That's why I am pursuing a combination of simple type theory and set theory as the foundation of a theorem prover, as I have outlined here: http://www.practal.com

Magnetic reversal events are fairly common often happening multiple times within a million year period. All life has gone through this multiple times. It may cause some disruptions to some species but most will not really notice much change. I’m skeptical that a reversal would lead to the extinction of Neanderthals unless they were already on the brink of extinction already.

Our own civilization might suffer more as we are dependent on specialized agriculture that could be disrupted. At the very least you would want to invest in a good parasol and some sunglasses.

Why does nationalization cause these issues? I have always heard the opposite, that PRIVATIZATION causes these lapses in quality.

Hey thanks! I'm one of the primary developers of this grammar along with @maxbrunsfeld. It was the driving force for supporting an external scanner and while there are still some Ruby edges cases, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I will say we spent a lot of time on this and I read both the bison Ruby grammar and whitequark's ruby parser (which is excellent) in great detail to understand how to deal with certain parts of the language.

One thing I love about tree-sitter is how both the grammar and the resulting ASTs are so readable. I can come back to this project after months of not contributing and pick up right where I left off.

I was piling on but could have done a better job with the opening statement to articulate this, yes. I’ll take every opportunity to point out the Nobel prize issue because I think it has created real harm. The equity of the real Nobel prizes is being exploited to gloss over alarming gaps in the field. These gaps have led to real harm and yet they’re jokingly dismissed.

Some of the smartest people in the field are actively trying to obscure its limitations. The author of this article is more modest but even still it’s a PR rebuttal and a bullshit fear tactic: a “You know what? Things are really bad but what would be worse is if you didn’t listen to us”.
Besides, who gets to decide what a “fair wage” for your work is? If people are willing to pay more for your pens, I say charging them what they’re willing to pay is still pretty fair of you.

And shouldn't let in the massive SUVs/Light trucks that Americans love.

When I was in Nice for a couple weeks, it became very apparent that small cars fit far more vehicles on the road, and it was definitely in greater proportion that the relative size to SUVs in america.

Smaller cars can drive much closer together. Something about the size, but also if there's a lot of cars around, you can see through the windshields of the car ahead of you to gauge traffic.

Raised trucks seem to have poor sight lines, which is weird because people buy them to "lift up" above traffic.

Also traffic circles are about 2x more efficient with European cars than SUVs. I think that has to do with the fluidity of letting in cars vs trucks with their strangely larger "personal space" on roads.

> an application of the name of the Arab prophet Mohammed (commonly though mistakenly believed by medieval Christians to have been worshipped as a god)

this is mentioned several times in the article, criticizing the translation of "pagan idol". I think it is a bit disingenuous to think the Christians at the time misinterpreted reality, as they have a broader prohibition against "false prophets" not just deities. So if the Christians, by definition only follow the words of Jesus Christ, then the prophet Mohammad who does not and has his own belief system would accurately fit those definitions. The writings and thoughts and actions of Mohammad are core to Islam and inseparable from the worship of a deity.
Well they sure didn't fight against it. We the people didn't exactly include "we the black people" or "we the womenfolk." Slaveholders outnumbers non-slaveholders 2:1 and men outnumbered women 1:0. [1] Some of the founding fathers were slaveholders and pro-slavery. Not all. My point remains that they were fallible humans, and it's really strange to hear folks appeal to these proto-deities 300 years later on matters of modern economics.
