There are some pretty big and critical differences you're glossing over.

- The forcing of ideals in Yugoslavia was done 'top-down', by people with power, not bottoms-up.

- Citizens have no authority over others.

- The United States is a democracy, with separation of political powers.

I hope you understand that this makes the comparison to Yugoslavia nonsensical.
It's almost as if we need a society that doesn't revolve around owning high speed vehicles. But we've missed that boat, so automation is our next goal to drastically reduce the thousands of yearly deaths.

I don't understand how this is a controversial opinion. The moment self-driving cars is mentioned, safety is the first thing that comes to mind. As a parent comment stated, Tesla is legally obligated to report every accident. And if a huge accident occurs, it will be in the news. Meanwhile it takes a 100 car pileup for any other vehicular accident to make it into a tiny sliver of the news cycle.

I don't own a Tesla or any of their stock, but the crux of the argument is that companies developing driving automation are already heavily regulated and will be put to the fire if mishaps do occur. We desperately need this automation if we do claim to not accept thousands of vehicle-related fatalities per year in our society, since better machine vision is always possible while better human judgement and reaction times are not.

>use new tech

As someone who believe in pushing the envelope on new tech, I always try to consider the actual situation (i.e. current tech stack in the company, competence within the team, effects on future hiring, a reasonable onboarding path for new hires. Etc.)

It’s hard work, and it is honestly infuriating that these frauds would abuse it to create a career moat around themselves.
> You're telling me that "universalism" is compatible with Christianty

No, I did not say universalism is "compatible", merely that it is commonplace.

Cognitive dissonance is not the only explanation.

Another explanation might be that you're giving me the motte-and-bailey business: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy
How's the sound and build quality of the Kingfisher? I really dig its looks but I'm not sure about it primarily because PRS is mainly a guitar maker.
So much about "diversity".
I’m not the parent commenter, but, the same thing comes up with friends and housemates. Even married couples who are otherwise “traditional” sometimes keep their finances separate. You each pay rent. If you go on a trip together or buy something for the house, you split the costs. The shared expenses are the easy conversations. If anything, sharing all money obfuscates the harder ones.
I think you’ve just described quantum decoherence.
It's not at all like the stock market. Shareholders are own the underlying business. NFT holders don't own the underlying piece of art. They only own the NFT. It's like buying a "share" that is just a blank piece of paper, and paying millions for it!
It’s not that suicides don’t count. The argument is misleading because suicides absolutely do count, but for many people the the subject of gun deaths incorrectly implies homicides.
Governments love inflation, because it enables them to inflate away the value of debt which would otherwise be unsustainable (or electorally unpopular). They become reliant on an unending stream of new efficiencies from innovation to hide its effects and globalisation, as you mentioned, is another handy way of staving off the political effects of the debasement of one's currency (although it's perhaps not as sustainable or reliable). When that fails, the redistributive mechanisms can always always be compounded with things like tax thresholds failing to rise with inflation, increases in tax rates, or new taxes (inheritance tax, for instance, is relatively recent), but taxation-by-inflation is definitely the unacknowledged elephant in the room.

Overall, today's mixed economies have a lot more central control than the average person realises, and it's no wonder that Marx was such a fan of central banking.
Stargazer is a word associated with looking at stars in the sky. Since the site is disabled now, I saw in the comments here it is related to Github repository stars (bookmarking). Was hoping for a real stargazing site :-)

Yes I agree that one’s actions as a twenty-year old college student should define them permanently and that no further personal development should be allowed, ever.

"There's an issue in the system" doesn't absolve you of responsibility. Right now, unless you take it on yourself to do some research and pay a premium, you know for a fact that any tuna you buy will have been irresponsibly fished and any meat you buy will come from animals that were abused. That is why they're so cheap and everyone knows it.

You cannot "expect" anything when you know the opposite for a fact. You can want it, but evidently not enough to lift a finger.

I wonder what you would do if you lived in a slave state or fascist regime. Would you buy slave-made goods and justify it because, sure, it's evil, but it's not your job to fix?
> The poorest have a negative net worth, so inflation reduces their debt

Yes, and it helps those who got into debt some time in the past, and without this debt have a positive cash flow today; for example a graduate making good salary but saddled with old student loans.

But I think (although not 100% sure) most poorer people in debt do not have a positive cash flow even when not counting debt payment. They are getting deeper into debt because they spend more than they get. And inflation will probably push those people deeper into the hole: they are on bare essentials (cannot cut those; and they are getting more expensive), and their jobs are more likely to be cut.

Richer folks by comparison have many options to hedge against inflation, from property sprinkled around the world to commodities, precious metals in cold storage, inflation-resistant stocks, etc. My 2c.
The idea that humans can live together with nature instead of apart from it is a good one. It's an idea that's missing, particularly in North America.

The idea that people with Indigenous blood have special ownership of land and soil is more dangerous. On the surface you want to support any such claims because of terrible treatment of Indigenous groups. But the idea is completely at odds with that of the United States being a multicultural nation of immigrants. Doesn't immigration just double down on the theft of native land?

Look at a map sometime to see which countries practice "jus sanguineous" citizenship vs. "jus soli" citizenship. The "jus soli" countries are almost always colonial countries. The comparatively-welcoming immigration regime is inextricably linked to a program of population replacement of Indigenous peoples. If you embrace the usual "blue state" catechism of both "Indigenous Rights" and "pro-immigration", you're embracing a contradiction. The only way for it to make sense is to adopt a white-centric attitude that both principles must be in alignment since both groups tend not to be white. This is the height of narcissism.

Parts of the Right have also seen the possibilities in Indigenous rhetoric -- starting with the phrase "my people". Where do you think QAnon Shaman came from? Why do you think Vikings are trending? From a certain point of view, they're just another tribe. It's easy to repurpose "Indigenous Rights" as nativism. And in Europe (but not in North America), it even makes some logical sense.

And when you stop and actually listen to Indigenous rhetoric instead of projecting your own "good person" beliefs onto it, you will start to notice things that really are not Liberal, things that would send a chill down your spine if ever uttered by someone with power. For example, I watched an interview with one Indigenous person who summarized the problem thus: "The white people did horrible things. They killed us. But you know what really did us in? They outbred us." I'm paraphrasing but I'm sure I got that last sentence right, because it rang in my ears.

This is stuff that the "left" is going to have to be more careful with than it is.
To your first 3 paragraphs: Right, so the income that normal people get from their labor is like water, and the income that wealthy people get from stocks is like oil(Note: for the rest of this comment, "oil" is code for wealth assets, water is code for CPI items.). Company takes out bond, uses it to buyback its' own stock, the person that sold that stock uses it to buy some other stock, that other stock rising allows that other company to take out some bond... They don't mix. So long as they don't mix, money doesn't become neutral and the CPI doesn't rise. It's possible to balance the parameters just right so that they never mix, but every mistake drives up wealth inequality driving down long-term productivity.

Now wealth income can easily be spent on large amounts of things that are typically seen as CPI items. At any moment the top 10 billionaires can choose to spend their wealth on an extravagant amount of labor, drastically rising labor incomes, but they choose not to as it lowers their long-term utility.

The fed's mandate is to create a system where they don't mix. It must always be the case for wealth assets like fancy homes and stocks to on average rise in value more than CPI items. If at any point the reverse is true, all of the wealthy will liquidate their stockpiles of stocks(crashing the stock market in the process) and instantly transfer their wealth into the thing that brings the best returns. If the best returns is GPU's, gamers won't get to game. If the best returns is on beans and rice, people will starve.

One of the best ways that the fed does this is by intentionally creating recessions whenever CPI inflation kicks up. Whenever oil money starts targeting water money, the fed kicks up interest rates above the 30 year[0], triggering a yield curve inversion, which triggers a recession. The recession forces employers to let employees go, which drives down the demand on CPI items, and that reduces inflation. At the same time, they put interest rates below what it was when it started, and the wealthy move their money back to oil.

I can send a pdf to a local printing house in the evening, get the negatives around the noon while the PCB is drilled. Then etch and mask it in about 2 hours and solder all the vias in next 3 or 4. (I wasn't able to get reliable plating.) Overall one day to have a prototype ready.
We have always known it wasn't from a wet market.

The Chinese can see that the BBC and other Western media has lied about it for over a year now.

That's 1.4 billion people watching the lie. In a racist way, if it was a shopping mall we'd all know it's just because that's where people congregate.

So why not push it "originated at a military base in Maryland", and better still why not believe it? It doesn't change anything, the West believes one lie, why not believe their own one.

TFA would seem more reliable if it didn't have such a needlessly obscurantist Fortran-python code comparison. Nothing about the two languages calls for different base case logic! That is, in order to prevent confusion, the "Python3" code should have been this:

if n < 2:
return n
else:
return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)

This is basically our play. We took SQLite and wrapped a very compelling business app around it. None of our customers give a single shit that we use SQLite vs SQL Server, aside from passing comments on the IT deep dive calls.

"You don't need us to install any database software?"

"nah we have our own integrated data persistence mechanism".

"Cool. So about those firewall rules..."

That is about the extent to which our customers care. They are more interested in what actually shows up on their display and how stable the solution is than any particular technology choices we decided to make on their behalf.

No one wants to be responsible for picking a database engine. Pick it for your customers. That's part of the engineering.
Seems like a reasonably good idea. More of a question about RFC’s than the spec itself. I noticed while reading the RFC it mentions this:

> By convention, the file is named "security.txt".

Isn’t the point of the RFC so that it wouldn’t be by convention anymore? Or are they saying the idea for the name was from prior conventions? Or maybe I’m just reading into it too much and it doesn’t really matter.
I __think__ Fortran just never gave you this particular footgun. No aliasing of pointers allowed from the getgo. It was never an issue. Somebody let me know if that is wrong.

I read Complex numbers came in FORTRAN IV, so mid 60’s.

I never used anything older than FORTRAN 77, and it certainly had complex numbers, and also ways for the “inventive” programmer to make use of pointer like functionality. You could e.g. pass functions to functions, if you were so inclined.
If you're using systemd, drop docker and start your browser through something like this:

#!/bin/sh

systemd-run \
--user \
--scope \
--property=MemoryHigh=4G \
--slice=background \
/usr/bin/firefox "$@"

Theoretically this does not prevent Firefox from using more than 4 GBs of memory (you need MemoryMax for that), but practically it does.

MemoryHigh=bytes
Specify the throttling limit on memory usage of the executed processes in this unit. Memory usage may go above the limit if unavoidable, but the processes are heavily slowed down and memory is taken away aggressively in such cases. This is the main mechanism to control memory usage of a unit.

MemoryMax=bytes
Specify the absolute limit on memory usage of the executed processes in this unit. If memory usage cannot be contained under the limit, out-of-memory killer is invoked inside the unit. It is recommended to use MemoryHigh= as the main control mechanism and use MemoryMax= as the last line of defense.

I use a similar script to prevent my torrent client from pushing more useful data out of the page cache.

You can put resource limits on basically anything (see systemd.resource-control(5)).

I really hope this project can bring some small change to the texas holdem community.
Yup. Americans really ought to spend more time studying the USSR and related states. This stuff isn't new and it doesn't end well.

Do you think Mao just forcibly hoisted the Cultural Revolution on the populace, or did he just take advantage of a sentiment that was sweeping the times?

Or a softer version: do you think McCarthy in the U.S. was potentially dangerous, or will our democracy inherently protect us against being too extreme for all time?
C++ sees a fair amount of use and has some mature libraries written in it like the trilinos collection alongside being able to use existing C libraries. I think for other languages the limiting factor is the maturity of their linear algebra libraries and if someone has written bindings to use MPI

>Try actually using one?
I actually have one, sent in by corporate. They gave me an M1 Macbook Air for unit-testing various things, and it collects dust most of the time. It doesn't work with either of my displays, 70% of the software I run on it has some sort of "gotcha", and the GPU performance is... well, not great. That said, it's not the weakest machine in the drawer, but it's certainly not as zippy as I've heard people claim. I still reach for my Thinkpad when closing issues or reading emails.
I mean Excel, and specifically for GP's use case.

Can you tell me how long is the boarder between Pakistan and Afghanistan? Do you remember that a big part of the soviet defeat in Afghanistan was the US that was able to regularly supply money and guns to the resistance, giving them even land to air missiles? Do you know that the talibans had and still have bases in Pakistan that allowed them to lead the gorilla war that they did? Don't even try to compare Afghanistan with HK, because the two situations have nothing in common.
Very impressive.

A next step could be to leave the already projected images where they are, and only draw over them, while marking the latest frame with a border. Eventually use frame sections which cover multiple frames to perform multi-frame superresolution.
`.well-known` is already used for validation for many things, perhaps most crucially acme-challenge which is used by LetsEncrypt to issue domain validation certificates. LetsEncrypt is trusted by all major browsers at this point so it seems that the consensus is that .well-known must be kept secure at any cost. So even if you disagree with `.well-known` it must de facto be kept in the inner-most ring of your security model.
> This is not true anymore even on X. Also, if you use GNOME or KDE, both of them has unified settings

That's why I said Wayland and the modern desktop in general.

> So you are fine with X server takes care of most of the stuff, but not fine with wl_roots do the same thing?

You're kind of right: conceptually it's not much different, except that a wm is not a full-fledged server, but simply a client talking to the X server. If I'm sloppy and my wm dies, it's not going to take down the whole desktop with it, contrary to a Wayland compositor.

> A base graphics API based on drawing primitives like the original X, SVG or Cairo, rather than just bitmaps.

Of course, but the rendering happens on the client (with client-side fonts, images, etc.) instead of the server, which makes the protocol use a lot of bandwidth.
I didn't get too far into this article because the writing was so stilted. Then I realized it was just a series of tweets merged together without much of an attempt to clean it up. Not a good way to explain something as complex (and polarizing) as inflation.
Unfortunately it has little to do with NAFTA. The naive American view of trade is that goods are cheaper to produce in other countries so all production inevitably moves there.

What is supposed to happen in a global economy is that currencies strengthen and weaken to exert a balancing effect on trade. Because the dollar is the global reserve currency there is an artificial demand for dollars so the balancing never occurs.

We have a monetary policy that is the invisible hand shaping the entire US economy. The massive trade deficits it caused are now leading to populism and civil unrest. And yet there is no discussion of this root cause and almost no awareness of it.
Same question for that address
It's not meaningless. It's an estimate based on market data.

Every component of CPI is an estimate, that doesn't mean it's meaningless.
Yeah. But this way you don't need to build/operate the marketplace.
Discord servers are no substitute for documentation. I've found that avoiding projects with that mentality is a good heuristic that keeps me from wasting my time.
A URL has another huge disadvantage: a URL is the address of a thing, not the thing it is pointing to in itself. The thing it is pointing to can change. If you paid $70 million for a URL pointing to a Beeple artwork, you might be upset if the owner of the URL changed the content to a Rick Astley video.
Labor has been constantly automated away since the start of the Industrial Revolution, ~250 years ago.

It is how we all got immeasurably richer since then, while constantly fearing that all jobs will be automated away soon.
Switching to any sort of commercial grid or cloud computing setup would be rather complicated by the fact that climate models are critically dependent on the fast, low-latency interconnects (e.g., infiniband) of a proper HPC system to achieve good performance at scale. This is usually coordinated with hand-written message passing via MPI directly in the relevant top-level Fortran (or C/++) program.

There are some other (i.e, “embarrassingly parallel”) scientific computing problems where a higher-latency distributed setup would be fine, but in climate models, as in any finite-element model, each grid cell needs to be able to “talk to” its neighbors at each timestep, leading to quite a lot of inter-process communication.
Even if we think gold is finite (doubtful in any meaningful sense), it does not follow that the amount of money (in the modern sense) would be finite in gold standard.

Gold standard means that the value of an unit of currency is tied to a specific amount of gold. In addition it may mean that the amount of bank notes in circulation in such system matches the amount of gold in the vaults of central bank.

Neither of those means that the amount of money people have lent to the banks (i.e. money at their bank account) has any meaningful relationship to the amount of gold - at least without extremely strict regulation of financial companies, lending and saving.

(Of course, same applies to cryptocurrencies, the claim that current cryptocurrencies would somehow set a limit for money creation is just a massive misunderstanding of money and credit.)

Fortran is hot at the moment :-) See "Resurrecting Fortran" (blog post by Ondřej Čertík https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26445438 https://ondrejcertik.com/blog/2021/03/resurrecting-fortran/ ) about the promising Fortran "standard lib" and the Fortran community in general (see the related website https://fortran-lang.org/ ). The story here is interesting but lacks a bit about this wider context.
