The impedance bump between this framework and the evaluation system for the rest of the company including management at most places must be pretty large.

It strikes me as the kind of thing you'd expect to see in a boilerplate programmers union contract.

My last W-2 job had a performance review system where all the metrics flowed upwards to the goals from management that flowed downward, sort of a countercurrent system. In that way this framework seems more like procedures how to do it well, than metrics you could actually use to meet higher level goals.

I don't think there's anything wrong with this framework and following it would likely result in maximal revenue generated per developer employee, but selling it to the suits will be hard.

The more elaborate the system the more easy it is to manipulate it and stretch the truth; its not a simplicate and add lightness design. And the suits know that, the more fine print the more likely someone is going to manipulate the fine print rather than execute core goals. So there would have to be a lot of trust either voluntarily (unlikely? only last until the first missed deadline or first bug report?) or involuntarily forced (again the union contract idea)
CPI does NOT include housing in the UK - and this article was written from a UK perspective.

In the UK:

“The CPI takes no account of housing costs”.

“the CPIH does include [housing costs but] it uses an approach called ‘rental equivalence’ – not the mortgage payments but how much rent the householder would pay for an equivalent property”.

“the RPI takes account of mortgage interest payments”.

Only if you consider the poorest living in a mortgaged house that costs $800,000 with $720,000 left to pay while making $120,000 a year.

This is not valid for the poor people making $15,000 a year with $600 in their bank account. These people are losing a lot of wealth.

Debt is not that easily accessed by everyone! And when it comes at the cost of inflation as it often (or even almost always!) does, it's even worse.
Can't speak for everyone else, but I personally think you are misrepresented the Eric Weinstein story. From all that I have read about him, it seems like the academic peer review system did it's job: kept a charlatan with half baked ideas out of reputable journals.

Preventing deaths and reducing the load on the medical system is absolutely necessary to move forward. If we have vaccinated a good chunk of the elderly and have guaranteed vaccine availability for them, we could open up the economy without fear of the medical system being overloaded. The main reason we shutdown was to prevent the load on hospitals. It has a cascading effect on anyone seeking care.

I think the biggest problem we face right now as a society is that many people think "I'm getting everything I need right now so I'm not going to complain" but
they don't realize how fragile the economy is becoming and that they're basically signing away all of their freedoms. Allowing their salaries and negotiating power to silently inflate away into the hands of asset holders.

It's not just their own freedoms that they're giving up, but also that of others who are currently struggling.
Don't be surprised if society is divided and becomes increasingly divided. Sooner or later, it's going to get ugly.
I'm playing the chinese government. You are the HK citizenship, well-armed with handguns. You have the city, you are protesting against my actions and during a protest the local police stations are occupied, occupied are also the universities, the tv stations and the local government. Self-proclaimed leaders of the protest go on air and announce that they are seceding from the totalitarian regime and HK is independent nation. Freedom loving citizens are blocking the road with mainline China, they are taking control of the airport and the sea port.

The Chinese government in a few steps:

1. Cut off the internet, jam the radio signals and the satellite signals to blackout the entire island. Impose a sea blockade.

2. Stop the drinking water.

3. Wait 72 hours and gather the bodies. Blame local terrorists for destroying the water pipes.

And this is only the simplest way to smash the resistance. Without mobile communications and GPS, all groups will be cut off from each other, exposed from the air to drone attacks, and totally unable to retreat, because there is nowhere to go.
They don't, at least not conductive ones. Volterra drills through holes but they aren't conductive. They recommend using rivets or less preferred is filling them with conductive ink and baking, but that's a huge pain and I imagine most people just use a piece of wire instead or try to avoid vias altogether. Othermill works the same way.

Usually you want to design your board around this limitation, which is why I generally don't recommend them for people looking to prototype PCBs with the intent of having them professionally manufactured later. IMO their niche isn't really as a replacement for a manufacturing service, more as a quick turnaround tool that lets you make one-off boards as needed.
Are you accusing his sincerity? The correctness of the ideas which failed to gain traction is irrelevant. The burden is on the authors of those works to explain and decent the merit of their ideas.

Where I am with the Viklove sort of interlocutor is to inquire:

"Stipulate for argument's sake that I am incorrect, and Jesus is not the meaning of life, here and hereafter. Fine. What then is?

What complete existential theory would you assert? What is the operating system of the universe in general, and my soul in particular?

What is absolutely True? How can I judge that which is moral when the concept of truth has been scuttled?

Is there anything else which you can objectively offer beside raw, carnivorous will-to-power?"

If we're not fanatics, then, as an intellectual matter (irrespective of metaphysical faith), we should be serious about trading up, no?
This comparison of an increase in price and decrease in interest rate is not useful because if interest rates come down, mortgages can be refinanced at the lower interest rate.

Or... switching to a fiat system enabled the economy to expand faster than labor policy (minimum wage, maximum work week) has been able to keep up, enabling those at the top to exploit the gains.

They don't. You have to rivet vias which, while relatively fast when compared to soldering them, is pretty expensive (~$20/100).
"Making everyone a millionaire" is so easy to refute. It's a nonsense talking point masquerading as an argument. It's a waste of time to consider it, but here we go.

There is value in being able to predict the cost of things, a wild swing in costs and monetary policy probably won't damage the system, but it will make assets difficult to value and our system needs to do that.

It’s cute but it generates a five line plain text file. I would argue that a better way to sell the idea would be to create an Apache and nginx module so you could specify this stuff from those config files. It would make adoption seem easier to more people.
It is true that as a consumer, I can avoid Apple products. The real issue relates to the options open to app publishers, that is, people who want to distribute an app.

There is no viable alternative for a company wishing to publish an app: you have to target iOS or you perish. Many companies today need to have an iOS app. For example, a bank, or a big chain grocery outlet, probably needs an iOS app to exist in the market. This isn't a tiny niche area which can be avoided.

The only way you can publish an app is with Apple's approval. Therefore, Apple are exercising a significant degree of market power.

In the US, the idea that because a company is private it can trade however it pleases has been rejected since 1890 when the Sherman Act was introduced. It's the same in most capitalist economies. The conduct of companies is subject to reasonable regulation to ensure healthy competition.

I've established earlier that Apple has significant market power in the mobile app space. Because of that, it's fair that we ask Apple to be reasonable when deciding what apps to approve, and the conditions on which they approve them, because they are exercising a significant degree of market power.

This is a space calling for regulation. Apple and Google should not be free to reject or impose conditions on apps as they wish. We have a right, as the people who make rules about how companies may trade, to ask for them to be regulated when they are exercising a significant degree of market power.

Indeed, if you stick to ET_EXEC then it's only marginally more complex than a.out. I doubt it would take more than 150 lines of code to pull it off and it's a much saner executable file format for the 21st century. I'm assuming there's no dynamic linking support here and that you only care for a basic ELF loader.

Right, which is why putting this file under .well-known is a small inconvenience.

It's increasingly common for server configurations to have a reverse proxy routing requests to internal containers or servers. Things like SSL renewals are often handled by the reverse proxy (because reasons [1]), so those requests don't get routed to the internal hosts by default.

Site-specific stuff, like this file, probably belongs in the site's root directory.

This is a bit bike-shedding though. It's only a small aggravation to work around.

[1]: Because you want to automate as much of the configuration as possible, so when a new hostname is added to a container or internal server, an SSL certificate just magically happens for it. This requires changes to the reverse proxy's configuration, and that's not something you want the internal containers doing, so it falls to the proxy to handle these itself. Letting the containers handle their own SSL setup means you have to have some kind of privileged communications channel from the container up to the reverse proxy, which is undesirable.

You can basically use it forever free. Payed version is for stuff that is beyond bookmarking, like big amount of annotations, HTML/PDF cache, teams etc.

There are versions for all browsers and mobile phones.

You can export everything, so no lock in. You organize stuff via tags. You can mass edit tags.

Its really good, dont look for anything else.

This story is more outrageous in English, but the real reason becomes clear when you see the Japanese translation:

> “Crab” and “club” is one such case and to make matters worse, when rendered in Japanese katakana script they become identical: クラブハウス.

Apple already allows apps with similar names, as long as they're not deliberately misleading users.

The Clubhouse social media app is actually named "Clubhouse: Drop-in audio cha‪t‬" ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clubhouse-drop-in-audio-chat/i... )

A project management company already has the app named "Clubhouse" ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clubhouse/id1193784808 )

Cloning Clubhouse with similar sounding names is a trend in other countries, where companies are trying to capitalize on Clubhouse's popularity.

My favorite is "Club Horse" which is one of tens or hundreds of blatant Clubhouse clones that have popped up in China: https://twitter.com/pitdesi/status/1369682085833711618
> There is nothing that says the printing of money in 2008 had to lead to immediate inflation

Few thing HAVE to happen. That being said, much of human behavior is linear optimization, which is predictable if you know the rules (and they don't change).
> let's do so with eyes open that we will be headed to uncharted territory.

That's how I think. In economics, society and very complex systems in general, one can rarely predict the consequences of most actions. The best we can do is brace ourselves (hedge) while those with power play their cards.
> The economic behaviour of the recipients of the newly created money is also significant. If consumers are the recipients then, all else being equal, the prices of the goods and services that consumers buy may be expected to rise.

Furthermore, even when consumers are the recipients, inflation is not necessarily to be expected when that money is replacing lost income. In that case, spending (and thus demand) remains the same. Inflation would not occur unless there was a simultaneous drop in supply.

People pointing at Venezuela or Zimbabwe as cautionary tales of money printing often ignore the decades of economic mismanagement that preceded the money printing.

I could argue the causes here with you, but I won’t.

My point is that GTA V is just one example where Linux gaming advocates claim “it runs on Linux more or less perfectly!”, when in fact major functionality is broken or missing.
It’s not a scientific problem. The scientific solution to contain the pandemic would be a full 21 day absolute shutdown of everything with people surviving on rations. It becomes a political problem if you try to do that in any functioning democracy.

Decisions made about people must have a feedback loop to learn from how people react to it. For example, the lockdown became ineffective when it was extended too long. People were initially very compliant. We were told it’s only till we can prepare our hospitals and prepare a contact tracing strategy. It was convenient for politicians to extend the lockdown than solve those two problems. Net result was that people started ignoring the lockdown more and more. Police can enforce bans on outdoor gatherings; people simply gather at home.

It’s precisely because we ignore the human element that we keep dragging this.
Then everybody loses, of course. But we can't know that beforehand and our best chance to arrive at the truth is to let competing ideas actually compete- and hope that the ones that surive the ordeal are the ones closest to the truth.
The original article is itself an incredibly long-winded exercise in this kind of bad faith argument... also called a “straw man”. The final paragraphs make that clear, when they claim that the inflation fearmongering is just a front for anti-statists. So if that’s what this is all about, why not just write an article about the merits of a state-directed economy and dispense with the charade?
I know, if you overlay two Gaussians with different means and standard deviations... I get what he was trying to say (not that I agree the situation is so simple). Yes, I was being sarcastic.

But to redirect, the point of my sarcasm is: what sort of track record does he have at predicting these things? He's the one who gave us a turd stimulus last time. And now he's putting his views on stroll again, why believe him?

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/ja...

History hasn't treated him nicely and virtually no one is backing him up this time. And if he's so good at math, then what is the mechanism by which a few thousand extra dollars per family will lead to long term inflation problems? The whole thing is farcical and reeks of class warfare.

Assuming inflation causes wages to rise with prices inflation is beneficial to home owners with a mortgage because your housing costs are largely locked in while your wages rise.
How much memory is enough for 1? Back on Fedora 32, on a system with close to a year of uptime (it was attached to my TV), gnome-shell consumed nearly 20GB of RAM on a 32GB system! And I rarely interacted with it (outside of watching the occasional concert on it). Most of the time was spent on the lockscreen, with the TV on a different input.

Perhaps this falls outside the category of "any memory condition"... :)

Though, it was responsive. :D

Needless to say, I think 1 is harder than expected. Fedora has made some recent changes on the OOM killer front though, perhaps those are closer to what you're interested in.
> It’s honestly amazing that there’s basically no way to run software on your iPhone unless Apple approves of every aspect of it, including the name.

Frankly, I'm quite OK with that. Just today I was trying out some apps for tracking baby sleep/feeding/pooping (my wife expects to give birth in a week) and on iOS it was pretty nice and safe experience, with clean apps and my only concern was usability and features. I remembered my experience with Android, where I would have to rake through hundreds of fake/buggy/malicious apps.

> OK. So what are the limiting principles for money creation?

If you gave everyone a million dollars would they all be able to buy a million dollar home?

No? Why do you think not?

Because the price of million dollar homes would go up because everyone would now be able to bid for them.

You can literally give everyone a million dollars, but you won't be giving them a million dollars of purchasing power relative to before you gave them the money.

Coming from a gold bug: you can still create an infinite number of IOUs on gold. Thats what the dollar was before Nixon closed the gold window. The fed was running a fractional reserve on their gold. Believe it or not they still are today, despite folks and major nations no longer have the ability to trade their dollars for some amount of the US treasury gold.

Look into the market value of the gold certificates that the fed has on its books. The fed hasn't marked their gold position to the market since the 70s. Very peculiar if you ask me. Also consider why each of the federal reserve banks trade these certificates amongst one another.

On top of that you can read the treasury's website and find that the policy states that the treasury gold plays an important role as collateral on the dollar https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages...
"Congress has specified that a Federal Reserve Bank must hold collateral equal in value to the Federal Reserve notes that the Bank receives. This collateral is chiefly gold certificates and United States securities. This provides backing for the note issue. The idea was that if the Congress dissolved the Federal Reserve System, the United States would take over the notes (liabilities). This would meet the requirements of Section 411, but the government would also take over the assets, which would be of equal value. Federal Reserve notes represent a first lien on all the assets of the Federal Reserve Banks, and on the collateral specifically held against them."
I might have miss understood your argument, but to me it reads like you wanted to imply that the implementation of gun controls ~lead to~ supported fascism and ultimately lead to WW2.

> I always find it odd how Europe is used as an example of gun control success. Especially when it comes to the issue of oppressive governments.

> World War 2 happened less than a century ago. During Weimar and the 1930s, pretty strict gun laws were put in place.
> Is it more accessible? As in, is this change driven by complaints from actual people who feel excluded by the terminology? As far as I'm aware, none of the projects making these changes even claims that, it's all speculation on behalf of hypothetical offended parties.
