> Property taxes in most of america are a made up number.

Except in States that have property tax and no income tax, the appraised value is close to the sale value, usually slightly under.

So in a 500k example, the appraised value is something like 450k (or more). Then your property tax might be 2% of that appraised value, which results in a $9,000 property tax bill every year, even when you retire.

If speculative buying drives up the price over 10 years, it also drives up the appraised value and also your tax bill
I think it's still not 100% clear, but the circadian rhythm involves a few enzymes and proteins that are not enzymes and other stuff. Probably 10 or more. Only a few of them depend on light and are used to synchronize with the external day-night cycle.

So ... it's even less clear, but there are probably at least 10 or more genes involved, and if any of them is too broken you get some illness.

This is only one of the many genes involved in the circadian rhythm (in mice, and probably have an equivalent in humans). Each discovery is important and add some incremental amount of information, but usually the press article likes to make a groundbreaking discovery that solves all the related problems for ever.

It's more like "the gene of height", or "the gene of weight". Some features like eye color has only one gene (or one gene that is much more important than the others), but many other features involve a lot of genes.

Please explain this one more time to me. I thought banks were literally creating money when handing out credit. Banks are prohibited to loan money on their saving accounts, so amount of credit issued is not directly influenced by amount of money saved.

It is rather influenced by regulation on those things.

So, the logic of this signal is like this:

- If a brown M&M HAS been found, you know for a fact they didn't follow the specs well enough;

- IF a brown M&M HAS NOT been found (denying the antecedent), you can't state anything about they following the specs or not.

My local bar has a $1 bottled beer for some brands on Tuesdays. It is advertised as being for Tuesdays. Their weekday hours are 11am - 1am. If I show up at 12:30am Tuesday morning I don't get the deal because it is considered part of Monday's service. If I show up at 12:30am Wednesday I get the $1 beer because it is considered part of Tuesdays service.

It's the neoliberal mindset and everyone is falling for it. Pretty much every party in Germany is neoliberal. The irony is that a lot of neoliberal thinking is self defeating.

Honestly, after I learned about neoliberalism I came to peace with the world because I know everyone deserves their suffering and there is no injustice. All those republican voters are voting for their own doom. It's fantastic. I no longer need to feel bad about their suffering because there is no contradiction, no conspiracy theory, no trick, no evil cartoon villain behind the scenes.

Yeah for something like healthcare, people are desperate to live and not die, so the healthcare system in a market economy easily expands to the point where people are working their whole lives to the point where the healthcare system can ultimately confiscate all of that value back. You lose your job, your insurance, you draw down all your savings and then you get some level of poverty support. Meanwhile the insurance system itself tries to expand to grab all your marginal earnings increases before you actually get sick. Since the demand is completely inelastic and insensitive to pricing increases due to most people wanting healthcare to avoid their own death, it just expands.

Good ideas!

a)

A built-in way would be good. There is some work being explored in using OpenMP with Perl/PDL to get some of that. In the mean time, there is MCE which does distribute across processes and there are examples of using this with PDL <https://github.com/marioroy/mce-cookbook#sharing-perl-data-l...>, but I have not had an opportunity to use it.

b)

Output for a spreadsheet would be difficult if I understand the problem correctly. This would more about creating a mapping of PDL function names to spreadsheet function names --- not all PDL functions exist in spreadsheet languages. It might be possible to embed or do IPC with a Perl interpreter like <https://www.pyxll.com/>, but I don't know about how easy that would be to deploy when distributing to users.

Am I understanding correctly?

Interestingly enough, creating a mapping of PDL functions would be useful for other reasons, so the first part might be possible, but the code might need to be written in a certain way that makes writing the dataflow between cells easier.
I don't really think that they care about British on this one. They are gone, after all.

What really happens is that in the 15 last years English has gained space foot in the EU institutions, to the point that they are quickly becoming just English speaking. You have a service which used to homd all meetings in English, a new Croatian, Hungarian or Polish staff member who doesn't speak French arrives and suddenly all the meetings and mass emails are written in English. The opposite doesn't really happen.

After the start of the pandemic French suddenly lost almost all space in meetings with Member States representatives or just multiple services present. They have become English onlycause there is no interpretation anymore and many people can't speak or even understand French. Many people that chose to speak French in meetings (mostly as a matter of principle) now speak English. The change in the last year was huge. French just want to go back to the previous status quo.

It’s a common heuristic for inspections. It’s not efficient or possible to check everything, so you inspect a few pieces in minute detail. For the pieces that fail, you do a complete inspection.

In my experience it’s a pretty good heuristic. It fails badly if the organization knows what pieces will be inspected (queue Goodhart). It can also be fantastically inefficient if there’s a ton of checks or the checks are ambiguous.

Being a stickler at inspections sets a useful precedent that organizations will do a better job for you in the future.

Napoleon took advantage of this during his first inspection of a combined arms unit (Napoleon was an artillery officer). He inspected the shit out the artillery unit first. Then he could be reasonably confident the light infantry and Calvary units would take the inspection seriously.

This is also in part due to tax revenue. Because of Prop 13, residential units in CA generate very little property tax revenue (revenue which doesn't grow much until the property changes hands, which is unpredictable). Commercial units don't have this problem, so municipalities can depend on a decent amount of property tax, with predictable increases over time.

As in most things, it is an economic tradeoff.

A big-name traveling band is kind of like a carnival without the ferris wheels. They have a lot less support staff than you probably think, and most of them are busy most of the time you're not driving.

If you have more than one person playing management/problem solver/coordinator/process lubricant, you've got it easy. Much more typical is everyone heads-down on their part of the event and one person trying to hold it all together.

That person has no free bandwidth, and depends heavily on proxy measures of the state of things.

I've played roadie before, not for a super big act and not for long. And I've ended up running point for a lot of conferences, more or less because I know how to run that sort of thing. Conferences are so, so much easier - they have resources, can assume workers aren't wasted, can assume the location at least vaguely cares about things like fire suppression, can assume the venue doing a revenue split actually has a license to sell alcohol...
Unfortunately it doesn't. It's artificially keeping them up because 0% is the effective lower bound and interest rates should be well into negative territory because savers don't care that their savings do not represent real wealth in the economy.
The US doesn't need to produce yachts (or this particular type of yacht), thats the whole idea of trade, you specialise in some things not others, and everyone ends up better off. There are a huge number of components in a yacht, many American. And financing and so on.

That’s a great callout as well: it’s optimal for maximizing your expected growth in the long term, but does carry significant volatility. That’s fine for an emotionless immortal robot investor, but as we’re human.

If we’re close to an investment goal, like saving a house downpayment or retiring, the calculus is quite different. Even outside that, loss aversion is a real thing and we’re likely happier trading some upside for being able to sleep at night.
My theory is that bank loans are to blame. When we say someone has "bought" a home, it's rare that they've actually bought it, rather they've just signed a contract promising that they'll pay back a huge sum of money they don't have over a long period of time. This creates a market of buying and selling of -- in the words of Mark in The Wolf of Wall Street -- fairy dust. Big numbers like £500k, £600k are thrown around that nobody actually has.

The ability to loan large amounts of money like this detaches people from the actual buying power of their money and the price of the property they're buying. Two grand in the bank is a nice amount of money. A two grand price increase on a property amortised over 20 years is considered to be nothing because the repayments are almost the same.

The solution to bring prices back down to ground level in my view is to end mortgages. Require the money up front and therefore force prices to drop until an equilibrium of affordability is reached. Needless to say this will never happen because the people who have the power to push for this are the ones benefiting from the status quo.

NB: I am not an economist.
We don't seem to have houses for everyone, people gotta work and produce to earn a house.

If you start giving mortgages with artificially low interest rates, people who haven't produced things to offset their consumption will get houses, which will increase the prices.

Of course a lot of other factors play roles into this.

> It’s hard to blame people for wanting a roof over their heads.

I, in turn, find your statement quite naive, it would be great if everyone had a house, that doesn't mean we should just give it them, there are consequences, the prices will rise.
This kind of greed is so sad. It would have cost Steve pocket lint to compensate them fairly for that contribution. Probably a new car or family vacation would have made them feel like they got something out of this. I think at this point, both were fairly wealthy, so they probably only wanted some token of gratitude.

I wonder how many great products remained toys left on engineers floppy disks because of this greedy attitude and the environment it created? This is the epitome of no good deed goes unpunished.

> After all, a yacht is rooted in the real economy. A good chunk of the money originally spent on the yacht went to pay workers and buy equipment

Sure. And then the rest of it went to profit. Knowing the yacht is 454 ft (what's the sqft on that? four digits?), costs $590m, and yet a tricked-out 66,000 sqft megamansion-ranch-thing is worth less than a quarter of that [https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-05-04/bill-gates...], I'm gonna take a guess that there's a loooooot of profit in that yacht. Which means that it's just 1%ers passing money around amongst themselves.

This isn't a software complexity issue; the only reason we're talking about this is the sensitivity of root trust store process.

CAs are required to issue Certificate Practice Statements (CPS) which tell the world-at-large the parameters under which they issue certificates.

Here's the CPS for Let's Encrypt that was in effect when this problem was detected:

https://letsencrypt.org/documents/isrg-cps-v3.2/

These CPSs are used by the various browser/operating system developers to make decisions about which CAs should be included in their root trust stores; i.e. basically whether you're a CA accepted by "the internet".

Let's Encrypt's CPS said one thing (we issue certificates valid for 90 days), but their implementation did a different thing (issued certificates valid for 90 days + 1 second).

An inability to adhere to your CPS is a big deal - it is effectively an internal controls failure; and self-reporting of failures to adhere to your CPS is essential. The owners of the root trust stores are going to want to see seriousness from the CAs when it comes to adherence to their CPS, even in apparently de minimis cases.

e.g. refer to Mozilla's policy guide and its reliance on the CA CPS:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/secu...

No-one is suggesting that a one second difference in validity makes any difference in the real world, and Let's Encrypt has already uprev'd their CPS to make it clear that actually all they promise is that certificates will be valid "less than 100 days":

That looks like a really nice tool. I really like the "bunch of markdown/reStructuredText/Org-mode files" approach both KeenWrite and NovelWriter use.

Are you using the variables just for outlines or also for the novels themselves? It seems like it would be more complex to do in the middle of a scene or line of dialogue because there's multiple ways to refer to things. It's an interesting problem to think about, though.
Lua's garbage collector can be driven 'manually' quite easily.

That is, one can start it, stop it, run it to completion, run a 'step', tune the size of the step and the aggressiveness of collection, all from within Lua.

It's true that you can't get hard realtime guarantees while using Lua naively, you do have to be aware of what you're doing. If you need to be 'cycle perfect', probably use something else.

But there are an enormous number of applications where what Lua offers is just fine, and there's no reason a Lua program should have GC 'stalls', if that means unexpected and lengthy pauses in execution.

This is a really cool project imho.
One interesting thing I noticed with Linkedin emails is that it dynamically fetches unread notification count. For example, if someone views your profile, there will be a notification in the website. If you go to your mail and open an old Linkedin email before you check the notification in the website, you will see a little red 1 on the corner of Linkedin logo. Later, if you go to website, clear notification, and then open the same email, you will see that notification counter is gone. If find it quite interesting that Gmail lets this behaviour.

> I am all for anything helping soldiers do their job more effectively and modernizing their tech.

As someone who's spent time on the ground, both humping packs, and doing more sophisticated work, I can tell you a couple of things about what soldiers value. The lower down the food chain you are, the more you value simplicity, reliability, and ease of use.

If you're a ground pounder, you don't want expensive, fragile gadgets that require lots of maintenance and extra battery packs, things that distract you or dull your senses. I had to carry a large expensive camera system for a time, and it was not only a PITA, but it constantly was down from sand in the bearings, battery packs not charging right because the contacts were dirty or corroded. And even when it was working right, the setup and teardown times made it almost unusable. The wear and tear on it was insane, it was constantly out if calibration.

That being said, the higher up the decision making process you go, the more useful tools like that are. If you're a combat controller or working out of a base, some tech like that can be really handy. But don't try to load Joe Average down with that mess, cause he'll break your toys, then yell at you that all he needed in order to make a combat plan was a stick and some sand.

The rest of your anecdote was really interesting, thanks for sharing!
