IDK why you think banks can magically predict what inflation will be. Since 1982, inflation has generally underperformed implied expectations, but there's a lot of reason to think that won't continue. The smart play over that period would have actually been to bet that banks have no f'ing idea about inflation (they do not: almost noone, myself included, does). TONS of banks left money on the table because they over-estimated inflation, there's no reason to think in an opposite environment, they wouldn't lose a ton of money by under-estimating it.

Adding to the limited ability of banks to hedge in the way you describe: Mortgage credit (the most common debt Americans have) is priced on a small, relatively constant spread over 10-year treasury yields, which itself is artificially manipulated by FED actions (and the FED doesn't even believe in inflation right now, so there's plenty of chance for a surprisingly high inflation rate benefitting debtors).

What I described is kind of the point of QE - the government essentially pays banks to "lose money" on loans b/c it's "good" for the economy.

The two obvious weak-points of the above are:
1) Most super-low income people don't have mortgage debt, but rather personal debt. HOWEVER, Believe it or not, personal debt is priced almost independent of inflation, because 'ability to repay' is the dominant determinant of yield. Sure, in a super-high inflation environment, CC APRs may go up, but they haven't for 30 years & have like 1400bps of spread above current inflation, so they probably won't any time soon (it's a very competitive market & is subsidized by swipe fees).

2) QE is (at least in theory) a VERY expensive way to encourage banks to take a loss on loans, and a lot of the proceeds go to rich people & overseas investors, so even if it does help debtors, it's not an efficient way to do that. I don't necessarily disagree here.
Different generations of the BSD and Apache licenses have had attribution clauses to various levels of strictness. (Older ones were more strict). Neither are copyleft (Like GPL/CDDL) forcing future improvements to be open sourced. CDDL may be interesting as a way to preventing improvements to a code base from going "dark" but still being non-copyleft compatible. (Hello Sun/Oracle). Another commenter mentioned MDL which CDDL was based on for Sun's needs, that is also worth looking at.

Few comments:
- Can the Desktop/Mobile tasks/events/agendas sync, or is this currently being worked on?

- I want to be able to add a calendar event and be able to view it as an agenda (on the daily agenda), viewing an event or a task on the side seems to be counter-intuitive.

I'm having trouble imagining a world where the cost of this operation is less than the cost difference between a 3070 and an equivalent 16GB card. Buying the ridiculously overpriced 3090 is still going to be cheaper and not come with any of the associated risk (invalid warranty, potential future driver/bios compatibility problems).

I don't think a keynote is bad for Taiwan geopolitically. Intel have a ton of cash on their balance sheet, but they still need to execute on this strategy. It astounds me what people take at face value here, considering the incredible momentum Intel needs to turn its ship around. It reminds me of Elon promising coast to coast FSD.

I also think China/TSMC is more of an economic than an existential risk. The US military doesn't need 2nm semiconductors. US manufacturers are more than capable of supplying essential US supply chains. They're just not cutting edge like the East Asian fabs are.

"Is AMP in Chromium?"

Only to the degree that Chromium supports standards AMP might use, like signed exchanges. Most of AMP isn't in the browser. It can appear that way, as Google presents search results differently for non-Chrome browsers. Similarly, some browsers actively strip AMP urls and replace them.

There is little usability in Gnome, just I think it is better.
In addition to disabling JavaScripts (which also removes nearly all ads), probably the "relative location bar", and the changes I made to the download dialog box (it now displays the actual URL and MIME type, and adds a "view source" option, in case it is a plain text file that the browser nevertheless wants to force downloading). These features are added using userChrome.js, and I find it useful. But what I have enabled a lot (including on HN) is user CSS. Sometimes simply disabling CSS works, but sometimes it works better to add my own additional CSS codes. (For example, on HN, I have it set up to display all comments in black, and to display vertical lines to the left of comments so that the indentation level can easily be seen. If I could make it sort everything chronologically across pages, I would have that too, but it doesn't do that.)
I develop desktop apps that are run exclusively virtualized, and don't really have to deal with either set of problems. From a developer perspective I'd say it's a pretty sweet spot, as you get the best of both worlds to some extent.

According to the r/UKpolitics moderator that got banned, one of their comments was manually edited multiple times (first to change the content of the comment, then to fix typos in previous edits)[1]. Reddit hasn't refuted this.

It seems to me that the biggest problem with that specific situation, assuming the description is indeed correct, isn't that the admins of a forum have the power to edit content on their own site, but rather that if the content has been edited by the admins then this isn't necessarily being disclosed transparently to others, and by extension the original author might still be held responsible for something they did not in fact write.

You might expect that, for legal CYA reasons if nothing else, a forum of Reddit's prominence where controversial subjects are sometimes discussed would at least keep some sort of irrefutable log of any changes made by its admins and clearly mark any content that has been edited by admins to avoid misrepresenting the original author. However, going by various other comments made over the past couple of days, it looks like this might not be the case, which seems dangerous for both Reddit and the people writing the content that gets changed.

> They were using copyrighted code without permission from the copyright holder, relying on a false claim.

Again, that does not seem to have been the case here.

> I have no idea why you think that the copyright holder would have to go to the gem's author to sue about a copyright violation.

1. It depends where you are, which jurisdiction gets applied. Might explain the different expectation. 2. It'd be the gem author that created an unlicensed derivative work, not anyone else directly. Have fun claiming damages, copyright infringement or anything for indirect usage in such a good faith situation. I really think that wouldn't fly, but again, might depend where you are.

It mattered a lot to the people in the subreddit who were upset enough about that and other things to create their own website and move their community off reddit.

I think it's less about the technical aspect and more about the expectation that people with the ability to change your comments won't do that. If you wrote an opinion letter to a magazine, and they published it, but only after changing a few words in your letter to make you seem dumb, everyone would understand why you were upset even though nobody would doubt that magazines have the technical capability to do this.
$50 is not universal though. I’ve worked at orgs where the threshold was under $30.
There’s definitely high demand for “technical” web analysts at the moment. That usually means someone who isn’t afraid of html and JavaScript and can help less technical marketeers and analysts implement their measurement requirements and analytics tools either through a tag manager like Google Tag Manager or directly in code.

> my main point is that you shouldn't sue schools, because you're just taking (your own) money away from students

I respectfully disagree. The ability to sue public institutions -- schools, police departments, cities, etc. -- when they do wrong is key to accountability. It is never the preferred way, but sometimes it's a legitimate last resort.

I also would not characterize it as taking your own money away from students. If a man was going to buy his daughter an expensive birthday present, but he drives drunk and crashes into my house, I might sue him, and he might have to give me the money he was planning to use to buy the present. But have I deprived the girl of her present, or has he? In the same way, it is the public institutions, and their leaders, who are at fault if they conduct themselves in a way that leads to legal liabilities, not the victims who sue. The students who are deprived of resources as a result of those legal liabilities should blame the school administration, not the victims.

My take is that employers should find and offer benefits packages that cover or offset the costs of counselling or therapy as needed to lower the barrier for people to pursue those things.

My experience with company offered EAP programs was so discouraging it was worthless. I had personal troubles I wanted to talk about and work through but the counselor kept trying to tie it into my work. How is it affecting you in the workplace, relationships with coworkers and such. He eventually said something like his job was to help me function better at work but he couldn't help with my personal problems.

Because that is what my "cares about your mental health" employer was paying them for. I basically got told I was trying to use the EAP service wrong.

Way more valuable to me would have been counseling benefits. I could choose from any licensed professional I want, not just the ones in the EAP network, and I could have focussed on the issues I actually needed help with.

I remember when I first saw Ghost 1.0, it was a moment as when I first touched Google Mail. The UI was so slim and the web editor miles ahead of WordPress or any other concurrency.

What's the situation nowadays? I haven't followed the evolution of Ghost in the last eight years.
It also wastes screen space, as the whole page is about 50% narrower. Far less information dense, optimized for ads and engagement (about half of screen space is dedicated to recommended posts when a thread loads). Feels like commercialization.

I couldnt disagree more. If Zuck was found out to have been manually changing posts that criticize him would that be insignificant? Not enforcing some moderation policy but manually changing posts.

Like is that really the most important thing for any CEO to do? It's incredibly stupid and worse it kills user trust. I think Reddit should have banned TD early on but I still think this act was awful.
This is horrible. What keeps me up at night is thinking about TSMC. One company. Just needs an earth quake, fire, explosion, something and the whole world is crippled. I know we have samsung, intel, etc other fabs. But if TSMC ever went down it would make the thailand floods for hard drives look like a joke.

Any mixed remote/office work company suffers from this, even with the best intentions.

Face-to-face conversations have such a huge latency/throughput advantage over online discussions that the remote employees are typically left out of the loop.

(At least, that's been my observation at dedicated remote vs hybrid companies. Maybe things will change post-pandemic, but I'm not optimistic.)

>Yeah, I definitely think it’s a senior vs junior thing.

Also, an existing vs new employee thing (which is not the same). I'm doing fine with WFH because of the relationships I have built here over the last 5 years and my knowledge of the company culture/organization/processes. If I were a new employee (even coming in as a senior level experienced hire) I would not have any of that and it would be far harder to get established. Usually by the 5 year mark I'm looking to hop, but I've been holding off for exactly that reason.
At some point in your career, I think you realize that you have to separate yourself and your passion from your work, especially if you are working for someone else[1]. There needs to be a clear delineation between what you believe is the right thing from a "passionate developer" standpoint and what is appropriate for a business. Often, what is appropriate for a business, and your survival in said business, is to go along with what the business wants to do, even if it's not what is ideal. If you don't, I think you'll always be at odds with something and will probably get burnt out trying to fight political battles. There are battles here and there worth fighting, of course, but you have to be okay with non-ideal solutions.

To me, that has been a challenge over my career and I've finally come to terms with it and I find my mood has improved quite a bit in the workplace as a result, albeit with a small death of my youthful idealism. However, now I try to use my passion in side projects, not to improve my CV, but just for fun. Interestingly enough, even idealism doesn't always work out there.

[1] I suppose it's possible to maintain your passion in the workplace and keep pushing ahead and doing even bigger and bigger things within a business (leveling up in the process, I'm sure), but I think to do so requires a lot of strength and endurance that a lot of us just don't have.

Unfortunately, that is the end game of our current trajectory whether it works or not, we will soon find out. U.S. government just distributed $2 trillion and there's already talks of printing and spending another $3 trillion.

I've listened to many arguments about MMT and everyone who supports it boils down to the theory that if governments can just tax enough to hold off inflation they can spend as much as they want, and deficits in your native currency don't matter as long as inflation is unaffected.

The definition of inflation has gotten conveniently flexible. We see stock, real estate, healthcare, and education prices rising while some goods and services have gone down.

I think some of the deflationary pressure is from technological innovation (for example, a mobile phone does everything that thousands of dollars worth of equipment would do 20 years ago). Some of it is due to the deflationary pressure of globalization and the exportation of goods production to less developed countries (namely China). That trend won't last much longer though as those countries become more affluent (if it hasn't already reversed).

At any rate it seems when inflation does occur, MMT seems to think that governments can and will levy higher taxes at will to stem it off. And will subsequently lower taxes when inflation subsides.

I've rarely seen the government willfully lower taxes if they have a surplus. And I've rarely seen a politician run on a platform of raising taxes at will. It seems like such an unworkable theory in practice that it should be dismissed outright. However, we've already spent ourselves into a corner and we have massive deficits that are going to drag on our economy for a long time. So the MMT theory is alluring, as it allows for a level of irresponsibility we have not previously seen before. I don't predict this ends well, but I still see it as the last hail Mary of the fiat dollar regime.

It will either lead to a golden era or cause a world of hurt and pain.
> In part for these reasons, DAWs are widely loved by their users and serve as a shining example of software making very little assumptions about the user’s creative workflows. Instead, DAWs accommodate numerous paths to reach a desired outcome, in addition to providing the resources and community to teach the user how to create any missing feature themself.

This is amazingly wrong. DAWs are notorious for imposing a specific workflow, and users will select a DAW specifically for some new workflow it has produced. For example, Ableton rose to prominence largely due to its unusual alternative workflow option (the grid) which made it popular on the DJ scene. Other DAWs have workflows and tools which make them popular with composers (Cubase for example) or tinkerers (Bitwig, Reason, etc.).

I took a closer look at this database and library.

The actual patterns are very simple and standardized:

* The base-case is checking if a certain byte-string can be found within a given offset range
* patterns form a tree where at all patterns from the root to one leaf need to match, which amounts to a restricted form of expressing "AND" and "OR" expressions

So it looks like there is very little space for originality in expressing these patterns.

* It doesn't appear to be a curated database, but rather aims for completeness (i.e. the selection or arrangement shouldn't be covered by copyright)
* Mime types and extensions are also very simple facts which can't be expressed in an original way
* The human friendly format allows a bit more freedom, but is still quite limited

IANAL, but I'd guess this database is not copyrightable in the US, but protected in the EU since it recognizes database rights.

Don't they have to mingle with whoever decides who's going to be promoted to admin or moderator? For indirect votes via party lists, I think it's quite similar, isn't it? You don't have to convince the public, you just have to convince the tiny amount of people that decides who's placed on the list.
