Indeed, AMD has more than once shipped CPUs in which the random-number instruction would always yield the same value, that had to be monkey-patched to yield apparently random numbers. A valuable hint.
It's a valid point. Less so specifically to China, and more so generally to all countries with national champions (e.g. South Korea).

In some sense, it's a zero sum game, where if your country don't scale or allow companies to scale, they find the next most favorable country. Or another country's companies succeed because of the additional support provided.

But subsidies and government support have always been the biggest fracas in international economic politics for centuries for the same reason.

not_exactly__'s point: although business-harmful actions look like shooting yourself in the foot, hampering competition and supporting companies for extraneous reasons ultimately makes your economy and your companies less competitive globally.

People respond to incentives. Living and having children in the US is expensive, so the results are what you’d expect.

I don't feel like reading the article but I support the statement in the headline. I wouldn't give any of the faang companies access to my health information unless they paid my salary and I block those recruiters.
Why does that happen? Is it because the errors are in opposite directions and will cancel each other out?
I'm confused, what do get instead in the US when you're employed? I didn't know that contracts are not universal, over here I've never heard of anyone not having a contract.
The vast majority of employed people are not doing "what they wanted to do when they grow up", and quite many are doing jobs they didn't even know existed.

>The wealthy are benefitting from low-interest rate loans (margin accounts, leveraged trading, options) that are enabled by the existence of inflation,

Low interest rate loans exist because of low inflation. If there was high inflation and full employment those rates would go up very quickly.

>Consider someone who is spending 95% of their income on day to day expenses, and we have a 1% increase in prices. Now you are spending 96% of your income on day to day expenses, which is a 20% decrease in margin of safety. It's even worse if you start at 99%.

Your employer also has now room to pay you 1% higher wages.

>"But wages catch up" you say. No they don't. Otherwise inflation as a policy doesn't work.

They do with full employment. Inflation only exists to erode the value of income earned in the past to encourage investment. To make sure those investments pay off, inflation also raises future incomes.

>Inflation is a stealth wage cut, a matter of policy for cheating the labor class. Don't get me wrong, it's well intentioned - it's to prop up the low unemployment metric, but Goodheart's law applies.

It's a hack to get to full employment. Once you have full employment workers can negotiate for increases that catch up with productivity, which today would go well above the current inflation rate.

>Finally, inflation forces the middle class to invest instead of save, to stay afloat and build up a retirement nest egg. Investments typically must go through approved channels, e.g. "the stock market" which disproportionately favors the already wealthy, e.g. CEOs, investment managers, hedge funds.

If the USD in your bank account don't represent wealth in the physical world they are effectively worthless. You're also forgetting that those investments will create jobs and some of those jobs are middle class jobs.

>Thus it is a siphon that steals wealth from the poor and middle class and gives it to the wealthy.

Ok, tell me your magic solution to achieve full employment and letting wages catch up with productivity.

I mean that in English they just took the Greek or Latin word and anglicized it a bit, but in OCS they mostly calqued more complex words.

Some common words were borrowed though, like gospel which is евангелии - evangeli.

Chinese and more traditional Japanese is also good at calquing or inventing new words, instead of borrowing, like computer in Chinese being called electrobrain, or orthodox in Japanese is sei-kyou, meaning correct church or something like that.

Of course Japanese is basically made up of Chinese calques and ancient loanwords, which is also a fascinating story.

The parents certainly can be enabling, but I think you're ignoring that there are plenty of people that are homeless, that do wind up with dependencies on alcohol, drugs like meth, etc, and your implication that anyone (especially people in their 30s with no real work history) can get full-time, minimum wage work doesn't seem realistic. Many of those jobs are both minimum wage and few enough hours per week (to avoid having to give you benefits, of course) that it would be extremely difficult to live independently, while still requiring a schedule that makes it nearly impossible to take on other jobs.

I'm in my 30s and have now seen several high school classmates with similarly poor prospects eventually succumb to drug overdoses.

Pretty obvious when you think about it. My Father was an engineer, although a different one than I am. As a child you pick things up when you grow. The fact that I had a computer at home back 3 decades ago, automatically meant I already had an upper hand and a better understanding of how computers work than most of my classmates who only got to see a computer almost a decade later for an hour every week in school. Also having an engineer as a father meant you had these weird books full of knowledge that you could browse through and get immersed in, for free, since I was basically a toddler. He could help me with homework, even if it was to explain integral calculus, which I could not comprehend before. Not saying that I couldn't choose any other profession, just that I naturally had the upper hand and years of experience in certain things even before going to college. I'm sure its the same for pretty much every profession as long as parents stay involved with their kids.
That is one interpretation. Another interpretation is that in pursuing academic career requires a certain attitude towards studying which people growing in a family of academics are a lot more likely to have. In STEM it makes a lot more sense financially to enter the workforce after graduation so staying in university for another 5+ years requires some real love for science. In my experience people with parents in academia are more likely to get financial and moral from their family while they are doing phd.
Working from home alone is nice the first couple of weeks. Then it becomes boring. Motivation to work decreases significantly. Level of trust to other (mostly new never seen) colleagues become zero.

Yeah - I didn't mean to generalize the entire medium.

There's lots of great stuff out there that isn't just a slot machine. Unfortunately slot machines make a lot of money so you also get WoW, and GTA ruined by GTA Online, in-app purchase corrupting content into Zynga style everything.

As far as I can tell it's not directly related to yours - but are you aware of any software that uses say, Android OS and a camera or pre-existing photos of the inside of a house/office/building to create a 3d map? Matterport seems like it might but their Android app is not going so well.
To people who existed in 2020. Let's take the example someone else mentioned of Uber. Uber is worth close to 50% more than it was worth at the beginning of 2020. This is what I mean by talking about the macro effects, as we get back to relative normal, what happens to these valuations? Is it a real reflection of inflation? Maybe, seems unlikely.
Fair point. If there's a new-to-me technique or something else tricky I 100% agree. As in sometimes I have the opposite complaint where even reading a recipe it's still unclear what I should be doing. For instance there are times when I finally see a recipe made on Americas Test Kitchen/Milk Street/etc I realize I've been doing it wrong.

I suppose what I'm saying is I want the text recipe first, and perhaps the video. From what I've seen on the Youtube channel the video is provided and sometimes the written recipe.
There's a group missing here. We're discussing stories talking about a demographic of women that are unhappy with the men they date, and also about a demographic of men that aren't dating at all.

The men unable to get a date at all clearly have some work to do - even when there's so many unhappy women, there is something they're still doing or not doing that makes them even less appealing.

The unhappy women and the men they're currently dating are a more curious situation. Are the men unsatisfied with them in particular, and so these women have work to do to convince a man they're "marriage material"? Or are the men simply not looking for anything that serious at all?

The general position of the media coverage is that it's the latter: the women can't "make themselves good enough for marriage" because the men just want the casual merry-go-round to continue. And there are certainly men quoted in articles about this who feel exactly that, but I can't say for certain that we're missing another group who just finds these women lacking.

My personal view is that we've shifted a bit, so the "growing up" that would've normally happened for these men in their early 20s is now ten years behind or so, but I see it happening in my cohort now as everyone is in their mid-30s. So I'm not too concerned for that side of things.

A government can only acquire revenue by siphoning productivity ("nice things").

The organization and its agents bear no consequence for mistakes in the allocation. It has no means to compare value or incentive to do so. The system evolves according to the "iron law of bureaucracy" as a perfect rent-seeking apparatus.

It's nice to imagine everyone having enough, or maybe that everyone is "equal." But you can't save anyone from their choices.

That's not nice. It's prison.

If you know how to optimize human life for a given group of agreeable people, go for it. For the rest of us, no means no.
Up until the table is so large that the copy takes longer then your WAL retention so you can't ever catch up. Like all things in Postgres, it works great up to a point, and then you are stuck. You also have to Logically replicate the entire schema because postgres won't logically replicate from table to table
Your contacts are also likely available through your contacts' own contact lists, and wherever those have been exported.

Many apps and websites have long either openly or covertly imported contact lists. This is a common avenue for spam, phishing, and robocall / deepfakes attacks.

Individual experiences will vary greatly depending on whether or not your own contacts or those of an associate have been recently harvested or are being actively utilised.

I've long adopted the policy of not using platform contacts tools for my own contacts (flatfiles and mutt are my general preference). It's a downside risk of increased legibility.

ITAR obviously isn't focused on export to "enemies". If I export sensitive missile technology from America to New Zealand, an ally of America, that will still run afoul of ITAR and for good reason. Consider the scenario where New Zealand has lackluster counter-intelligence and $ENEMY is able to freely infiltrate New Zealand companies. In exporting missile technology to New Zealand, I have put that missile technology in a position where it can be more easily stolen by $ENEMY, even though I never exported a thing to $ENEMY. Could those same $ENEMY agents infiltrate an American company instead? Maybe/probably, but the US Government would prefers that attack surface be kept smaller than larger, and under American jurisdiction when possible.
Well, no, they said "No woman would seem dating and marriage material to me if she weren’t similarly erudite and we would have some common ground in that respect" but being erudite in no way requires or is the same as having a degree. That's just one way of many to get exposed to things.

Yeah I usually prefer Chef John. I feel like his recipes are creative and practical, and he's also just a hilarious super down to earth person. He comes up with methods that pretty much get you 95% of the way there at a fraction of the time and cost. His Chicken Tikka Masala recipe is the best I've had (homemade or at a restaurant) and among the simplest. He also has a famous method for Demi-glace

IMO, a lot of the material from Kenji, Babish for example tilt more on the food snobbery side that demand several hour long recipes[1] and vast number of expensive ingredients.

B) Bitcoin also has fees associated with it, not just when you convert it to or from fiat, but anytime you do a transaction. And I'm pretty sure Bitcoin has been stolen before. If you're purely talking about the state stealing it, well that's happened too; the US government has seized Bitcoin many times now.

So holding stock in companies that, I don't know, actually produce something isn't an alternative? That just doesn't pass the sniff test.

There’s the concept of “illegal numbers”, which means that there are technically numeric representations of images or copyrighted material that you can’t know/possess without breaking a law. But the law is subjective which is why we have judges and juries to apply judgement to whether having a large number written on a piece of paper is equivalent to possessing illegal material.
I think the key to Kenji's success was bring Cook's Illustrated's scientific approach to a younger generation.
I didn’t actually argue that. The erudition I have always sought in dating or marriage material does not depend on the degree I have, and in fact my own degree is in a field different than the canon of art to which I mentioned above. But sure, having a degree of some sort does greatly boost the chances that one will have had access to an academic library (or awareness of alternatives like LibGen), and potentially made use of it for subjects beyond one’s own degree programme.
Yeah, there is a lot of skill, much of which is knowing what we're looking at and what not to do. An attempt to read the codebook is enlightening.

except for the part of an economic system that requires unending growth

This is such a tired phrase. Like if we had socialism or communism or some other -ism it wouldn't matter.

But that's just not true. The issue is math and the fact that prime age working people (25-55ish) are the ones that, for the most part, make stuff. If you have a shrinking population then the % of the population that makes stuff gets a lot smaller so everyone has to be poorer. No "economic system" can change that.

From MW for 'fiat'[0]:

> a command or act of will that creates something without or as if without further effort

A fiat currency is one whose supply can be inflated by a command or act of will. The supply of Bitcoin cannot be inflated in this manner, so it's not a fiat currency. As properties, official and fiat are orthogonal. A currency can be one, or both, or neither.

Seems like there's an emerging paradigm for ignoring universities but still doing something of value in the "academic" space. This is just a dumb strategy but based on many examples I've seen recently.

1. Customise a curriculum engaging with younger tutors in niche areas (e.g. youtube, teachable or if theres others comment).
2. Do this for a few years and make sure to meet people/do appropriate things and publish them online. E.g. do a good podcast/lecture series.
3. Publish on Xiv like sites with high quality results/arguments/original ideas or demo/explain things on youtube. If a preprint site doesn't exist for you then make one and contact people.

This might get you x100 the exposure of your average PI and eventually funding will come around to your ideas as universities become a total farce. 10 years down the line the tepid overtures to gitlab and github turn into a full on rejection of high overhead university education. Rental or pooling services for expensive equipment or access to resources would also help immensely.

For some people (myself included) Game/TV addiction is a real problem and can have drastic affects on ones life. (It did for me throughout my 20s/30s). For others it doesn't seem to have negative side effects.

My life was held back by time spent gaming for so long and later in life I realized TV was doing the same. Moderation in all things right? For me it is easier to cut them out period.

I'm happier and have a far more productive life as a result. I'm now in my 40s and have productive life and career but this didn't start until my mid 30s.
One might even say that they filter their results in order to promote a preferred ideology. To propagandize us, even.

Not in this case. Consider naive sum:

double fsum(const double *p, size_t n) {
size_t i;
double s;
for (s = i = 0; i < n; ++i) s += p[i];
return s;
}

Add one line of code and it not only becomes numerically stable but benchmarks faster too.

double fsum(const double *p, size_t n) {
size_t i;
double s;
if (n > 8) return fsum(p, n / 2) + fsum(p + n / 2, n - n / 2);
for (s = i = 0; i < n; ++i) s += p[i];
return s;
}
