A detailed and balanced piece of journalism humanizing both sides.
The Great Reset is predominantly used by conspiracy Twitter and it isn't close. It is blown out of proportion relative to its original context, and amounts to sloppy punditry trying overfit an interpretation of the world. One of its least helpful usages is as a weapon against debate/policies that attempt to address collective action problems such as climate change.

It kind of reminds me of what was done with "New World Order", which people seem to be moving on from since the conspiracy pundit predictions haven't been realized (e.g. no world authoritarian government yet).
It is quite rare for capacitor banks to hum. Much more likely that you're hearing the magnetics (transformers), which indeed have reason to be where they are. Good luck.
That comment was meant to be taken in theoretical sense not that I had the text of a law ready to go into effect tomorrow. I'm well aware there's plenty more thinking to be done.

You however, seem to think that because you can find a corner case in a two line proposal, the whole thing has no merit.
Thank you! :-)

True, but the issue is that medical underwriting is allowed on Medigap (Part B supplemental plans). So, once you are on a Medicare Advantage Plan, you basically cannot effectively go back, due to being unable to obtain a Medigap plan (covering the 20% that part B does not cover), due to having pre-existing condtion(s). The financial consequences of not having a Medigap plan are quite severe for somebody who has a rare disease, if you know what I mean.

As you know, it is a loophole in the ACA. Because I was declared disabled before age 22 ("disabled adult child"), there is a way for me to get Medicaid, for life, effectively, through the Ticket-to-Work program, via the PASS (Plan to achieve self support). Even if I "make to much money to stay on Medicaid", at some point, the Pickle Amendment allows me to stay on it for life, due to the age I was declared disabled at.

But, there are issues with that too, since it is a form of "welfare". You can end up having to pay back the US government hardcore overall. You also get punished for being on Medicaid. For example, some states only allow you to have 4 medications covered by Medicaid. After the 4th active prescription, a type of "prior authorization" is sent to each and every doctor--for some government bureaucrat to make an arbitrary decision whether this medication is being "worthy of coverage".

Speculative investment without asset improvements like that is the worst kind, but it still serves to stabilize prices for other investors. At worst, the speculator loses their shirt and a more capable capital allocator gets to work with the money.
I wonder if this would apply to mixing in a frequency that would result in an audible heterodyne mix (think like active noice cancelling but using a waveform that is designed to downconvert vs cancel).

I do believe there is a method to use this to give blind folks an ambient doppler tone from objects in their vicininity. I just don't have the chops or time to try it out.
I'm not. Bitcoin has stagnated, and it hasn't delivered its promise of being used as a DeFi currency.

I bet if it was Ethereum that El Salvador had chosen, the opinion wouldn't be as harsh. Proof of stake doesn't have the same energy consumption concerns.

imo this is still a great development for all of crypto and DeFi. It will also help protect people who aren't connected and wealthy from losing their value due to ever higher levels of inflation (it is currently much higher than 3%) http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts

As stated in the post: these steps make complete sense if you're aiming for a nice, smooth zero-downtime transition from the old data model to the new.

However, if you can get away with some downtime, you can instead notify your users of a planned outage, shutdown, update everything, and startup again. This eliminates several steps of the process, which has the added benefit of reducing the number of places where something can go wrong.

To put this in context: say you guarantee 99.9% uptime - that's still 43.2 min / month of downtime available to you! You can update quite a lot of machines / database rows in even 10-20 min, making this viable in many cases. (Obviously there is a scale threshold past which this is no longer viable, but if you're at that threshold you can probably also spare the engineering effort to go the zero-downtime route!)
In the same boat. Really annoyed I can longer access it. The process to recovery is a total joke too.

The day they stop selling Intel Macs, there will be an uproar from people who claimed that X months was not enough time to refresh their workplace's MacBooks--which need to be Intel because in spite of Rosetta 2 and the speed at which libraries and apps are being recompiled there's still some obscure thing that doesn't work yet on M1. They're kinda damned if they do, damned if they don't.

But enough of that, let's look at whether they decided this "for reasons other than technical". A lot of the features (the FaceTime image processing, the dictation and speech stuff, etc.) seem like the kind of thing that was built against their Neural Engine. Intel CPUs don't have custom circuitry for running neural nets, let alone an API that is congruent with Apple's. It makes sense that computers with certain advanced hardware are going to get features that other computers without equivalent hardware can't support.
Ah, but that's why companies employ political lobbying.

The irony is that density means more people, more homes, more availability.

That means more jobs open up and makes the place more lively. More desireable.

That means the house property value will go up.

They are thinking "will this make the property value go down in the next 5 years"? vs "will this make the property value skyrocket in the next 10 years".

We are catering to short-term gains at the expense of long-term.
Which is completely fine, because the Fed is willing to step in as the lender of last resort.

I am not a tax expert, but my understanding is that each State sets their own formula for property taxes.

In every state I have lived in, the first factor of that "property tax formula" is always "Assessed Value" of said property, and then the formula continues from there based on a slew of criteria (property type, exemptions, etc.).

So you are correct that "Property taxes do not have to go up because the assessment goes up." but it is misleading since property tax is generally going to go increase if assessment increases and all other factors are held equal.

>as all potential transactions with a 0-or-higher bid-ask spread will occur,

bid-ask spread isn't a property of transactions, it's a property of markets. Transactions will occur when someone is willing to pay at least as much as a supplier is charging.

The bid-ask spread is how much less the highest bidder is willing to pay than the lowest seller is asking. It's a measure of how far apart buyers and sellers are from making a transaction, at a moment of time in a market.
How much hashpower do we need to keep the blockchain secure? Maybe it's less than what we have today, though I suspect it's more. (ASIC mining reduces the risk of 51% attacks because there's no huge mass of "dark silicon" that could be temporarily redirected from running Slack or Monster Hunter to mount a 51% attack; the vast majority of hashpower that has been manufactured so far is busily mining away to support the blockchain.)

I'm not convinced that higher transaction fees would be a huge disaster. Maybe Lightning will work out (El Salvador seems to be betting heavily on it), or maybe people will use "custodial wallets" like LocalBitcoins, or simply run up a tab at the bar; with any of these approaches, relegating the public blockchain to weekly, monthly, or trimestral settlements for most people would be a mild inconvenience rather than a disaster.

You don't think geoism is just naive? This idea that the state can magically assign a value to property and not have it go sideways for the politically disenfranchised (the poor) is pure fantasy. If you haven't gone through the process of buying a house. I suggest trying it (especially during a frothy market), and each step of the way stop and think, "how would geoism get turned around to screw the poor".

It might appear that way, but that is only because the fee is hidden.

The credit card terminal agreements signed by retailers prevent the retailer from offering differential pricing when buying via credit card or cash. Essentially, the credit card fee is embedded into the price.

This might be "good" for people who have credit cards, but it is inflationary (by roughly 2%) to people whose credit is poor and only transact by cash.

But let's be honest -- who cares about the poor?
Very much this. I find it necessary to make even the most simple and obvious connections explicit in group contexts. This is even more useful when dealing with people who are further away from the problem, or aren't focused on the issue at the level of detail of the people in the trenches. I'm not sure I can tally the number of hours that I spent reminding people at the C-level that, while all the work being done related to removing dependencies on system Foo was useful work, if they still wanted application Bar, then system Foo was never going to go away and they'd still be stuck with ongoing licensing costs for system Foo. And I wasn't even trying to convince them to stop spending time and effort, I just wanted to make sure that they knew the actual cost that application Bar was going to be solely responsible for, so they could plan for it, or do better cost/benefit analysis.

It's sort of crazy, I'd get an oh, yeah, every time I'm mention some of these things, but the facts would sort of slip out of their minds. I think they'd also get together with other managers who were confident that system Foo would be going away in a few quarters who either didn't know about application Bar, or didn't need to care about it, and their enthusiasm would cause the details to sort of get mentally overridden.

There is definitely an art to managing expectations and making sure that efforts and goals and scope are aligned.
This is further complicated by the fact that Sweden is divided into 21 administrative units (the twenty-five traditional provinces are non-administrative units), in Swedish called "regioner" (formerly "landsting"), where five of these are situated in Norrland.

Respectfully, I think calling "The Great Reset" a 'crank subject' is itself a sign of conspiratorial thinking, or in the least, misleading/false information. I often see people label discussions of "The Great Reset" in this way, but that ignores the reality that the World Economic Forum literally branded their 2020 meeting as "Great Reset" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Reset). If the WEF isn't a familiar name, it's because you might have heard it previously referred to as "Davos", a meeting of many powerful and influential people.

When such a group meets to discuss society-wide changes and pushes their positions publicly, I don't think that's a "crank subject". That's simply a legitimate story that others may wish to discuss and raise concerns about. Critique about WEF/Davos isn't new - it has been described as an undemocratic forum previously, because it's a set of powerful people deciding how they want to shape the world outside of any national or international political process. This isn't conspiratorial thinking, it is literally the way the WEF is set up and operates. See the following paper for a critique, which mentions that WEF members downplay the importance of this forum and that their public exposure hides all that takes place privately: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?re...
Are you sure about that? There must be some stories out there.. There are some great books about the Xbox written by Dean Takahashi a few years back, in the same general tech era.

Most of them make sense; the M1 has the Neural Engine and ISP, and Intel Macs don't.

Not sure what's stopping them from enabling additional text-to-speech languages or rendering a globe, though.
You accidentally did some urban exploration, and you didn’t even get in that much trouble for it!
I don't understand why you shouldn't migrate non-production databases. I agree that there should not be an expectation that they are stable (although it can still be useful to keep data around in test environments), but if you constantly apply migrations upon every deployment (as well as locally), you have a good test bed for the production migration.

That gives you at least a base level of sanity checks that your migrations work. Of course, this is no guarantee that your production migration will also work - you may e.g. add a FK constraint but there are violating rows in prod -, but for that you can wrap your migration in a transaction. Upon failure, the migration is rolled back and, of course, you should then also rollback the deployment. Then you can start investigating why the migration went wrong.

Also, creating dumps from prod and storing them locally is something I don't recommend (and it's also disallowed at the company I work for) unless you take care to purge/mask all sensitive data (all PII and everything that includes trade secrets of some sort) before it reaches your local machine.

Why artificially? People move into single family dwelling neighborhoods because they have lower crime and better schools. There’s nothing artificial about selecting the best environment for yourself and your family.

Is it necessary to artificially editorialize when you’re making what is, at its root, a thinly veiled socio-political point?
If you believe LN is only useful between two parties that share a channel, I suggest you do more reading.
I think you "well actually"'d a bunch of things I specifically didn't say.

I use "Johnson limit" synonymously with "thermal noise limit" because they are the same, and it's the limit of how low noise can be after removing all other sources of noise.

Most people, if they even learn about resistor noise, will only learn about thermal noise. If they're lucky enough to identify a resistor as the noise troublemaker in a circuit, they might not have any idea that they can potentially cut the noise 1000x by changing the resistor from thick film to thin film, with no other design changes, at the cost of one cent. It's not common knowledge, as illustrated by the fact that an article like this, dedicated to the topic of resistor noise, doesn't even mention it. And instead laughs at someone even considering to look for a "good" resistor as though it were superstition.

In fact, thick film resistors are far more common, so if you're in the situation where you're reading this article because you have a noisy resistor in your circuit and don't already know about Johnson noise, you almost definitely don't know about current/flicker noise, and since you got here because of a noisy resistor in the first place, a "good" thin film resistor is overwhelmingly likely to be the cure.

I'm not advocating ad hoc selection of components to reduce noise any more than selecting ad hoc components to reduce cost. A noise analysis can help you find the problem but won't help you solve it if you think your only option is to change the resistor's value, rather than its type.
So, what do you think we can do to prevent it?
Yes, you're free to tunnel whatever you like with the custom TCP and UDP tunnels. We have users tunneling their SSH and FTP servers and all sorts of things. Though if the bandwidth starts disrupting game severs, I may need to reconsider :).

Aside from the distraction of the author's nuttery, the issue is probably the most salient one for the American middle class over the next century.

Either very strong measures are imposed to limit / de-incentivize real estate speculation and hoarding, or the vast, vast majority of the population is entirely excluded from any kind of property ownership.

And while simplistic 'conspiracy' thinking definitely is of a much lower value than rigorous analysis, there is IMO merit to at least acknowledging that the politically powerful class might overlap substantially with the rentier (property ownership) class and thus resist any such reform taking place. It shouldn't be out of bounds to speculate on the motives of powerful actors, even if it is obviously not the same as making evidence-based claims.

It maybe was meaningless when that was true, but unfortunately it isn't now. There are so many differences between the professional class and the working class that it's hard to really think where to start, huge things like health outcomes, educational opportunities, bankruptcy risk, air pollution, wealth generation, political engagement, social politics, fertility rate.

I don't disagree that there are also huge differences between people making income from wages vs. capital, but that's beside the point.

Your comment about actors and basketball players confuses me a little. I think those are textbook high wage earners, not people who primarily live on capital (at least until they retire anyway). And presumably yeah, once you cross $100m (which I would guess not that many actors/athletes really do), it seems reasonable for a wealth tax to kick in. Isn't wealth wealth? Why should we make carve outs for specific professions?

Very cool! We've spent a lot of time + money doing this ourselves. I'd be interested to understand the pricing model and self serve options.

Certificates have been mis-issued. No ifs, ands, or buts, that by itself means revocation has to be on the table.

In practice, it's a small problem and revocation is an excessive response, but those are conclusions you reach after duly investigating the issue, not before.
