Again. Back to the narrative and communication issue.

People ascribe credit for their rising income and increasing salary to their performance on the job....some more humble ascribe it their employer and their boss.

That's who takes credit for it. For sure not inflation and for sure it's not the Fed with their 2% target.

Inflation is in all the wrong places with regards to the narrative, for one reason or another only the negatives are outlined and the population somehow is very scared of it.

Deflation is in the opposite spot. When deflation happens the culprit in the narrative is the economic recession/depression and the wealthy who played roulette in the stock market etc. The negatives of deflation are only known to academics, wheras the positives are known to everybody (e.g. currency strenght of the USD when you go on a trip to Mexico)

It is clear to me that this might offend the economics professor, but that's the reality of it.

That's the reality we all have to trade on. Narrative is very important.
As a comment. I got the v-moda. I like it a lot. It sounds great. BUT it's a very omnidirectional mic, it picks up everything going on in the room in clear detail.

If your environment is noisy, you would likely be better off getting a shotgun or cardioid style microphone with some directionality to it.
Yep. Especially Apple sucks at this. Is English fitness instruction worse than <local language> instruction? Yes. Is it better than nothing at all? Of course...
We asked for a phone number transfer to another Twilio account, and the support rep took the wrong action by mistake.

He wiped our entire account, causing us to lose tens of thousands of recordings, logs etc. We were told sorry, no way to recover them - only the underlying phone numbers.

It's cheap, but I'd never trust them again.
“I’d pay ~$300 minus the cost of hardware in exchange for thousands of games, including timeless masterpieces like Metroid Prime and Mario Galaxy, many of which sold for $50 individually less than a decade ago and cost millions of dollars to develop.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’d buy that too.

But if it happened, I’d be more than a little scared about the viability of game development moving forward, particularly for the artfully-crafted single player experiences I enjoy and care about. More scared than I already am.

Nintendo would much rather port Mario Galaxy to their new hardware and sell it as part of a much smaller bundle. And as far as I’m concerned, that game is great and they have every right to continue charging top-dollar for it.
I don't see how Peloton is going to win this in the long run. Strategically a bad move IMO. May be because I still see Peloton as more closer to a fad than something sustainable. They did well to make bank at the right time and go public. However its their game to lose. A competitor will do a solid integration with the Apple watch and get promoted in the Apple Store and the site and it will automatically boost their credibility among the same people that buy Pelotons. It will slowly eat away at their base.

> I'm not sure I understand why PostgreSQL would be "overkill" for something?

Because its a separate server process and install rather than an embedded library. On disk, in memory, in CPU, in config and admin workload, and in pretty much every other conceivable way its heavier than SQLite. It offers a lot extra , too, but if you don’t need the extra that it offers, its overkill.

> Also it's very easy to buy PostgreSQL from various DBaaS providers.

Yes, it is. Which reduces some burdens and increases others. Nonlocality is a cost (also, paying for a DBaaS is a cost.)
When we bought our treadmill, everything was out of stock. We waited a month or two for ours. You couldn't even buy a set of dumbbells unless you wanted to pay scalper prices. But it's been a year now, perhaps everyone that wanted a home exercise machine has one now. :-)
You are missing my point. That's exactly what I'm saying: a trusted environment with trusted people VS people taking random substances in a random disco.
While the results seem believable, what was the sample size? The p values? None of this is cited either on the blog or the paper abstract, and I don’t have an account to be able to pull up the actual paper.
If you use uMatrix (the browser extension), it blocks by default some links from Google that are essential for the list to work; just disable it for this site.
For your site. If you don't serve ads that rely on Google-FLoC rankings, then you won't see any impact. Otherwise you'd see a financial hit.

If your users go to another site, and they don't have client-side FLoC-blocking in Chrome, your settings obviously won't do anything for them.

So it's a nice step for your users, but is limited.

Because many people in this thread have no knowledge or experience with these substances, so giving them accurate information is useful. I'd say it's even necessary given there's a group of enthusiasts that very clearly over hype the benefits and make absurd claims like it's impossible to have a bad time, to over use them, etc. I want people to have a balanced view of what they may be interested in trying, vs that nonsense. Otherwise they're possibly setting themselves up for a bad trip at the least.
This is worse actually. Buying games on disc like any self respecting collector won't save you from this problem, because your console will stop working.

Anyway, Sony are complete idiots WRT to online. Back when the PS4 was new, setting it manually to use Google's DNS instead of whatever was built in improved download speeds by a large factor.

Also, when they launched in Europe they had PSN available for like 3 countries, so everyone else told them they're in the UK and called it a day. Now they have separate account systems for most regions, but the *holes don't allow you to change your existing account's region to your home country.
The machines court reporters use seem like they would be chorded keyboards from long before 1968.
This, as usual with the US, is an extremely individualistic point of view on the topic. The problem is that the majority of people are bottom feeders and stay bottom feeders all their lives. Of course, if you play all your cards well and the planets are aligned you might end up better than somewhere else, the drawback is that everyone under a certain threshold will eat shit until they die

> I'd recommend a socialist democracy like Austria

The vast majority of people can't just "chose" to live where you recommend them to go.

You're basically describing the proverbial american dream, it concerns an unbelievably small portion of the people living in the US, imho it's not too far from straight up propaganda to keep the gears turning, ie "I might have to work 2 full time jobs now but I'll work harder and in 5 years I'll make it". It even is a double edged sword, companies like Amazon or Uber made it _because_ they're allowed to stomp on bottom feeders, it's a game with a minority of extreme winner and a majority of losers.

People don't want "social mobility", they want a decent life and access to basic things like medicine, affordable housing, toilet breaks no matter where they are on the social ladder... for every sociopathic wantrepreneur who wants to make it big you have thousands of family who just want to not be treated like cattle
I'm very solidly in Peloton's target market. I have _zero_ interest in anything related to pro cycling, and to be honest near zero interest in cycling. I needed to lose weight, and it helps to have someone on the other side of the screen pushing me to kick my own ass. I like being able to look at my workout history and re-do past classes to see if I can push a little harder. We got one mid-pandemic, and thanks to it I'm likely to exit the pandemic at the lowest weight and in the best shape I've been in over the last ~20 years. Cost was not a factor in our decision-making process.
Have you met a human before?
Working in coal mines, and working to support coal mines, aren't entirely the same thing. (More than) Half the country is against government provided healthcare, but that doesn't mean half the country works in private medicine or is immune to disease and injury.
I'd argue it would increase bias, since now they need to cater to their audience even harder.
I'm with you on those downsides, they all bother me too. The value add for me is that I get access to publications I'd have to pay separately for otherwise; e.g., WSJ, Wired, etc. My use case is primarily to open it and navigate to the content I want under the Subscriptions tab.
Micropayments are the way to go. But as the intermediate solution, I would be in favor of (non-expiring) credit-based microtransactions. E.g. you buy $20 of NYT credit. After that, it is $.25 for a single article <3y old, $1 for any number of today's articles, $3 for any number of articles from the past 7 days, $10 for full access for the following 30 days.

I'm not very fond of the tiered plans as you describe them. They are like the child of the unholy union between fast-food and gym marketing tricks: Would you like us to oversize your subscription from 15 to 40 articles for only $3? Wouldn't it be a huge inconvenience to pay us every month? Why don't you set up a recurring fee instead? But of course you will be reading 40 articles per month for the foreseeable future!

It's all gain for the sellers. But from the customer's perspective, one still has to give their credit card number, and may still end up paying for content they won't use.
Are you serious? I've seen several large legacy Java applications move to OpenJDK without a problem.
Let's face it, nothing will change until US lawmakers start forcing change. Unfortunately, US lawmakers by and large don't understand social media (CEO testimonies prove this), and nothing will really change for everyone outside the US until US lawmakers force changes (GDPR still isn't really adhered to).

>After Schieve made her case before the City Council at a Zoom meeting in early December, the councilmembers voted unanimously to approve a contract for $1.3 million in CARES Act funding: In 2021, all Reno residents over the age of 13 would have free access to Talkspace.

Neat
>Last fall, CNBC reported that Talkspace had sent around a memo offering to indemnify therapists willing to practice in states where they lacked a license, as the company worked to meet soaring demand. (Licensing requirements were waived during the pandemic in some states, but the emergency orders are expected to eventually expire.)

Absolutely disgusting. Why is no one in jail over this ? This article compares app therapy to app dating a good deal. Like app dating app therapy puts multi billion dollar corporations in the mix. These companies have a real profit motive to drive signups while providing substandard service( or straight up committing fraud knowing it's more profitable to break the law than to do things the right way) .

Personally I think most mental health issues in this country are fiscal stability issues. If your going though an eviction or have unstable parents( as a kid) you aren't going to be in a good place. Therapy with it's insistence on having a better outlook on such issues can be less than useless.

To fix America's mental health crisis we need to fix the housing crisis , we need to fix the food insecurity crisis.
Marianne Bellotti's new book, *Kill it with Fire" has an entire chapter, titled "Time is a Flat Circle", devoted to this sort of institutional amnesia.
I did a 6 to 8 migration at $lastjob. The upgrade was smooth except for 2 issues:

* It exposed a kernel panic bug in our Linux kernel when Hadoop applications de-allocated huge amounts of RAM at once (e.g. a Spark program with a 100GB heap exiting suddenly would panic the system)

* It introduced a weird UI behavior change in Swing in one of our desktop apps. In fairness, whoever wrote the app first did some weird unnecessary shit with JComboBoxes, but it was still somewhat odd to me that the behavior changed. The bug was like, when previously if you clicked a box it'd swap it out for a JComboBox that had the previous content of the non-combobox-view-thingy that was in its place. On 8, for some reason it would always be blank and discard the old content. Don't quote me on this description, though. It was a while ago and it was a weird interaction regardless.

So, idk. It's always something. Software, eh?
Arguably SM7Bs are prominently placed in videos / video podcasts because "pros use SM7Bs" and therefore displaying that you are using SM7Bs for all speakers shows what a pro you are. Not because a 50 year old dynamic mic design is actually The Literal Best Thing Ever For Human Voices.
And that's why you have tests...

Having migrated some respectably sized projects to OpenJDK in my experience it's more work to migrate a codebase to a new Java major version than from Oracle to OpenJDK.
I'm not sure I would call them "easier for beginners", but probably "better for beginners trying to learn underpinning concepts"

But overall I agree: I probably would not teach Rust as a first programming language, maybe not even a first low-level language. Its abstractions may be zero-cost in terms of performance, and airtight in terms of correctness, but many of them are not intuitive unless you understand what's really happening underneath. Some of them feel intuitive enough at first... until they aren't, and then people hit a wall.

I'm not sure what the solution is to this problem (or whether there is one). To its credit the team has done an incredible job documenting and writing guides, but I still think there's a gap here. It may simply be that at a certain point Rust is not a learning language, it's a productivity language for experienced programmers.
To be fair while Howard did a lot of really cool things, he didn't have a lasting legacy with anything. Elon on the other hand has multiple, something like spacex isn't just going to be forgotten. His seclusion didn't help.
> you can just upgrade the hardware to a beefier machine and keep business as usual

One of the troubles with having a single machine is that your service will become unavailable when you upgrade it.
I like this, and the fact that it is self-hostable (I have a project that I was considering trying to integrate with Calendly, but this looks like a significantly better option for my use case), but I do have one comment about the pricing: there doesn't seem to be any type of trial/free-tier.

Yes, I could go to the effort of deploying it myself to try it out, but that is still significantly more effort than just signing in and trying it out.

It feels like there is a very large gap between "It's free forever by self hosting" and "12/user/month".

I'm not suggesting that you have to have a free-tier-forever kind of plan, just that the requirement of hosting it yourself just to be able to poke around at it is a pretty high bar (especially if someone had to pay someone else to install/set it up for them).

Sure. But he could have picked them apart one by one. Do you really want a strongly allied China-Russia?
It's worth noting that you can use &String anywhere that &str is accepted. The distinction is subtle and I agree it's sort of confusing, but in practice the former gets automatically coerced to the latter as needed
> See also: Soldiers. Firefighters. Emergency medical workers.

As a firefighter and paramedic, I wouldn't even begin to compare my job, even dealing with the occasional horrible things, in the real world, with a job that consisted of hours on end of viewing things that would have been deleted from rotten.com for being too problematic, and the effects that that would have on my mental health.
&str is not necessarily a static string literal; it's a slice of any string, living anywhere (including on the heap inside a String). Technically speaking, it can't be mutated because it's a non-mutable reference (like any other non-mutable reference). &mut str is a thing that can exist, and is mutable, it's just that you can't get one of those for a static (literal) string that lives in the code.

Crypto is exploding because people are looking to get rich via speculation, that's it.

There's a wealth of uninformed investors and they're all hearing stories about crypto millionaires and how much it went up and FOMO narratives about it.

People haven't been transacting in crypto basically at all - it's not even a blip in the popular discussion about it, except as a flimsy justification for why its value is not tulip-mania.

The only thing in effect is the ultimate truth of investing: the market can stay irrational a lot longer then you can stay solvent. No one was "surprised" when the housing bubble collapsed in 2008, and no one will be "surprised" when crypto collapses, but as we saw in 2008 when the returns get high enough even the "sensible" investors can't justify to their stockholders/board why they're not jumping in on the apparent "easy" money.
This is a neglected effect of US sanctions. It forces all of the US's enemies to ally themselves with each other, at least economically.

This is about the US wanting to look and act like they still dominate.
So I bought a Macbook Air with M1 that I used for 3 months and noticed the right speaker cracking issue (apparently this is widespread on forums) and instead of going through the headache of repair service I ended up just tossing it online and buy a new one for <7500Rs in losses which I thought was a good deal. The new one has the same problem (yes I tried everything from restore to different audio but its not subtle and this time its left one wow!) so I contacted Apple to setup a return immediately. But nope! They are offering a replacement to me but the customer support is throwing policies in my face. Its insane that apple offers no refund for its own products.
Satoshi wrote in 2010:
"I don't believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea. So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network. The MIT license is compatible with all other licenses and commercial uses, so there is no need to rewrite it from a licensing standpoint."

In ETH land, the wise guidance of Satoshi is regularly ignored.
Is there some sort of law in India that allows this? Seems pretty bad to me.
Impressive that there are so few (if any?) principles inspired by social justice given that surely most of the faculty and students are fully committed to it.
[I don't do Android, but, ] isn't Google trying to kinda pivot to Kotlin?
Paying $6-10/month for every subscription site is untenable. There's going to be something that will replace all this, but I'm not sure what. I would rather just watch ads than have to endure death by a thousand subscriptions.
The median US salary for an individual is 30k per year (median family income is 50k). So with an Amazon job an essentially unskilled worker can make more than half of all other Americans.
NordicTrack/iFit is a great example of equipment manufacturers that just don't get it.
Google's FLOC has an unfixable problem. As soon as other advertisers create their own FLOC's, anonymity goes away. No matter how careful Google is to make sure these ID's aren't unique, as soon as users have several FLOC identifiers, maybe even two, they're uniquely identifiable.

Behavioral tracking needs to die. It was a mistake created from lack of web security in the early days, nothing more. It's a bug, not a feature.

Google is finally showing us what Chrome was meant to be. A browser monopoly to defend Google's user tracking interests.
It emotionally attaches you to this world, which you belong in. You feel a connection to the eb and flow of the world, which I think depressed people lose. They get caught in their sole perception of their world, caused by neuroticism and past traumas. The brain pathways are hit hard every day, so it's tough for them to get out of it. This substance can be like a tsunami that washes it all away.
Fastmail is not for sending bulk newsletter email. There is a pretty sweet product we have called Topicbox which is a take on mailing lists for organizations, but for bulk sending I would recommend taking a look at one of the services dedicated towards newsletters specifically. They'll give you list management and a bunch of features needed to run a newsletter.
I do not understand the argument, i have read it a lot in the last weeks. Does bitcoin not just incentivise the currently cheapest energy source? Which is still not renewable for most markets afaik.
Why is this the case? Is there some societal expectation? I know that eg: american grocery stores are much more accepting of returns for any reason vs european ones in general.

I think there’s some shame associated with gamification; like if it works for you, somehow it makes you unintelligent... but as long as you’re aware of it don’t lose sight of how you’re being manipulated then it can be a valuable tool just like anything else.
Nobody is thinking about what you just said before buying bitcoin.

And you know it.

And actually they might not be as ignorant as you might think. You have no control over Macroeconomics so you might as well play the game in order to have "your number going up" and let the Macroeconomic chips fall where they may.

Regardless of where the macroeconomics chips fall...you'd be better off with a higher number than a lower number.
Its interesting to compare the general reluctance of the Java community to upgrading vs the Go community's preference to be on the latest version (or at most N-1).

I suspect this is due to a number of reasons. Go doesn't have a separate runtime component so an upgrade is simply a recompile.

I think Go's 1.x compatibility promise has also helped a lot with people feeling confident in upgrading. The Go team tries very hard not to break any existing programs with any of their changes through all 1.x releases.

My take away from this is if you are building a platform, don't underestimate the value of stability across upgrades. If upgrades are painless your users won't mind upgrading. If upgrades are a big ordeal, your user will put off upgrading until there is no other possible option.
