Of course not, it isn't but it seems like it is (to me at least).

In the Wizard:

House 200000 200000 paid off

Acknowledge, etc. Confirm

Create a Plan

etc.

Now I have Other Asset value 200,000, Already Owned, cancels out Rent expenses during ownership, Value is fixed only adjusted for inflation, never sold

etc.

House starts at age 25 200,000, arrives at age 92 at 25,986.
25 first year is 200,000
26 second year is 194,000
27 third year is 188,180

The asset is defined "Fixed value only adjusted for inflation".

Of course if I enter the asset and change from "none" (that is now explained as "Inflation of 3% will decrease asset value over time") to "Match inflation" (that is explained as "Asset value will increase over time matching the inflation rate of 3%" and comes out on the main plan as "Value increases to match inflation" I get the "flat graph" I expected.

The issue is about the wording:

"Fixed value only adjusted for inflation"

vs:

"Value increases to match inflation"

The (fixed) value of an asset cannot "increase to match" (it is fixed) it can only be "adjusted to match".

As I see it the first one is "Fixed not adjusted to anything" and the second is "Fixed but adjusted to match inflation". (and something like these will disambiguate from Appreciate/Depreciate).

BTW the actual Appreciate/Depreciate % needs to be increased/decreased of inflation rate.

As I see it, there should be three possibilities only:

Fixed

Appreciate (and its %)

Depreciate (and its %)

and then a separate checkbox for "Match Inflation".

As an example, if you have Inflation at 3% and select Appreciate 1%, the result is a declining value (as you have no way to Appreciate it 1% AND match inflation, while it is common - at least here - to consider appreciation rate not as absolute but the difference over inflation, it should be specified/explained that there you need to put an absolute rate including inflation).
> Also, GOG is not 100% DRM-free anymore, even if they want to advertise themselves that way. [0]

I'm not happy about these features requiring an internet connection, but they seem pretty minor. The alternative would probably have been that those features were left out of the GOG versions completely.
It's a worthy thing to address but then you can't also turn around and complain you don't have money when you're actively eschewing ways to make money.
> Another is that we have a very strong opposition. The Democratic Party is well organized, it’s well financed. It controls the most economically and culturally powerful regions of the country.

So... the party that holds the presidency and both chambers of Congress is the "opposition?" That's an interesting take on things.

Perhaps he means "opposition to authoritarianism," but the party of "I have a pen and a phone" and "We need to pass the bill to find what's in it" has it's own authoritarian tendencies. I'm NOT a fan of Trump, but the idea that this is a problem only with the Republicans is silly.

So is the idea that the dissolving of "mutual toleration" mentioned in the article is a one way street. There are plenty of interviews like this one https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/ive-never-felt-this-s... that express how norms on the left have also changed pretty drastically over the past few years. The government has been in multiple law suits with a group of nuns, called the "Little Sisters of the Poor," all of whom are celibate and most of whom are elderly, trying to force them to buy health insurance that includes birth control. Maybe that group of nuns is misguided, but how does the left demonstrate mutual respect? How do situations like that demonstrate "restraint in using their institutional powers?"
It is a perspective in the philosophy of mathematics that rejects the idea that all of mathematics is necessarily anchored in philosophical truths beyond itself.
I honestly think police shouldn't be allowed to interview children at all (at least those under 13), it should be left to forensic psychologists. Not just interrogations, interviews of witnesses or potential victims too. Children are simply so easy to lead in questions, there's an entire field of study in psychology devoted to figuring out how to ask questions of children without leading them. Here's some examples: if you ask a child a yes-no question that they don't understand, they default to saying yes. If you ask them a multi-choice question ("Would you rather X, Y, or Z?") they default to whichever option was given last.
Nifty. At first I thought you were talking about molten sodium batteries, which have been around for a while but inconveniently have to be kept at high temperatures to keep the sodium liquid and so haven't seen much adoption. But yeah, sodium ion batteries are now a thing and don't have that limitation.
Tartufo – effective finds secrets accidentally committed
Thanks for sharing, it was really interesting to hear what was influencing him when he discovered shors.
I don't know if you and I would even be able to find data from the Mexican program to see this precipitous drop, but health ministers from Mexico's federal government have appeared on Mexican TV and said pretty much what Kory is saying [0]. I don't speak Spanish, but I used YouTube's automatic translation. So, not perfect, but at the very least, it's enough to convince me that Kory's not making it all up.

Re: the data, I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, because the graphic you shared seems to portray a solid positive effect to me. Yes, I would like to see larger sample sizes, but I'm also aware that being able to replicate another researcher's finding is a feat in and of itself in science.

Based on what I know of the history of medicine and science in general, it's not uncommon for "medical consensus" to not only be wrong, but shockingly wrong (think thalidomide, DDT, or lead's toxicity), and most paradigm shifts begin with one stubborn person going against the grain. It annoys me that the same people who insist that we're in a devastating 16-month global emergency also insist on one very narrowly-defined exit from the situation. It seems more logical to me that they should be willing to embrace any solution to the problem, or multiple solutions. The fact that they're so ready to shut out unorthodox voices shows me that they're more interested in pushing an agenda than solving a crisis. The issue is not one of health and rationality, but tribalism as you mentioned.

Judging by our interactions, you aren't the type of person I was directing my original comment to. Nice chatting with you.

Here's the only solution that's going to solve the climate crises: every person of the world is going to have to realize they they are responsible for their own CO2 output. The goods you buy, the transportation you use, how you heat and cool your home - these are all your choices and all impact your C02 output. Americans on average produce double the amount of CO2 than the Chinese do on average. Americans produce more C02 than Europeans, who in turn also produce more CO2 than the Chinese.

Once you realize your CO2 output is your personal responsibility then you can take care of your own business and strive to make changes to reduce your output. You can create demand for green power (not demand, create demand - actually buy green energy), you can make choices as to your thermostat settings, you have choices in what you eat, you have choices in what your purchase - all of these are within your control. Small changes made by hundreds of millions of people can have dramatic impact - in fact that's how we got into this mess in the first place.

What doesn't look good is Americans, who produce more C02 than anybody else in the world - by far - throwing up their hands and saying it's hopeless because of India and China, who's citizens are producing far less CO2. It's time for us to clean up our act and lead by example.
We have a product that depends on data received from external web services. We often want to test certain conditions in the data (specific results, error scenarios, etc), and it's difficult or impossible to guarantee these conditions when we call out to our external services. We use mitmproxy to intercept and manipulate the responses we get.

Even if we don't need to manipulate the data, it's a very useful tool for watching requests go back and forth.
I would be very surprised if Trump has the energy left to run a full campaign.

As far as Haley or Desantis, I'll believe it when I see it.
As in UBI? That's the only experiment I know of (or at least, politically feasible experiment) trying to decouple physical necessities and employment.

I guess you bring up an interesting point here, that UBI would make minimum wage obsolete.

It seems like you're arguing for changing "anyone who works full time should be able to afford necessities like safe housing and adequate food" to just "anyone should be able to afford necessities like safe housing and adequate food." I'm not opposed on principle, but I think this is a harder goal to hit in practice.
That every closed set has a maximum and a minimum.

Relatedly, every set gets a supremum and an infumum.
(The first two must be members of the set. The second two can lie outside the set).

Without the extension, you need to make an exception for unbounded sets with the above rules.
Apologies by the way, re-reading my post it comes across overly dismissive. I didn't intend it that way.
Buran system had designs for that - one of the components was a nuclear-powered space tug that could shift satellites around, reducing launcher limitations. Design planned for endurance of 100 "LEO->GEO" satellite moves.

Hypothetical Hubble with support for such operation would have docking port for the space tug, which could bring it back to orbit that could be taken by service vessel, then bring it back to proper orbit.
Assumption of good intentions has gone out the window. All I see on Reddit is 'so and so is evil!' and 'they want to punish the poor!'. It's impossible to make the case anymore that all sides want to improve everyone's lives and they simply disagree on the method.
I haven't seen Joe Rogan, and I don't get what's going on there. As far as I can tell, it seems his big win is that he gets on both big-name celebrities and crackpots. I've seen him called a very good interviewer, but I honestly don't know exactly what that means, and how it's different from just getting guests who speak well.

The impression I get is that he seems even-handed to a certain stripe of people who think that playing to their bias and/or giving unquestioning air time to contrarians is what constitutes even-handedness.

Am I even vaguely on track here? I don't have much interest in interview shows in general; the format just isn't terribly interesting to me. The few I do listen to are those that invite relatively obscure scientists to explain their work -- the Ologies podcast and the BBC's Life Scientific. I dislike politics, after decades of watching it become worse. But I feel like I should have an inkling of what it's about.

This is the L constant of the Drake equation. Probably the hardest to find a value for until we've actually discovered other intelligent life or remains of such. The confounding part of it is that we can only guess at things that may end a civilization so completely that it will never recover. Things like the so called Great Filters, natural extinctions like impact events or gamma ray bursts, or other more speculative things that prevent expansion. The tricky part is that our existence seems to fly in the face of such events so far, is that mere luck or do all forms of intelligent life have enough sense to navigate around these problems? The last and most paradox defining part of the problem is that even if the tiniest fraction of civilizations can evade these filters then they should eventually be everywhere in the galaxy. Assuming the Copernican principle that we are not at a special place in the universe or time then there should have already been ample opportunity for such civilizations to develop and hence Fermi's question "Where is everybody?".
Yep, this is particularly relevant when building pagination. If you use the primary key, which itself is sortable and based on a sequence, you might be surprised when you skip over rows that were yet to be committed because the IDs won't respect transaction commit order.
Ha, yes, I do suppose medical-grade peptides need a bit more rigorous temperature control than that frozen yogurt I buried in the snow during a brief power outage…
Yes but that's not really the same thing as real nationwide public healthcare. Going by my experiences in the UK at least, people tend to have a lot of pride with them even if they also will complain about issues with it.

It's considered political suicide to even openly discuss dismantling the NHS which is why even the Tories continue to tip toe around the issue even after having been in control of government for more than a decade at this point.
It is worth noting here that the 1876 election was substantially worse than recent events, and US democracy survived that.
I hope that as we move more and more to commercial space development, we will continue to do the kinds of over-engineering and redundancy that make recovery efforts like this even possible, but fear that the mindset will shift: out of warranty, abandon it, we will sell you a new one.
This is directly related to their set of battery day announcements [1].

Some of the key points from their battery day are:

- focus on simplifying process from ore to EV in order to maintain cost declines per unit energy while enabling scale up

- key to that is simplifying the lithium extraction process (noted patent for this thread), they spoke about the core of this patent before

- getting enough factories constructed and dealing with expected limitations in raw material

- reducing costs by simplifying manufacturing process / reducing parts

- reduce parts by having bigger batteries (also more energy dense) and single casted sections of the vehicles

- also interesting work on incorporating Si (which increases energy density) while solving the issue of cycle life when increasing Si ratio.

Overall, for anyone even remotely interested in this space and this topic, I think it is an essential watch.

Show HN: I made a Windows app that caps your max system volume
The thing I find almost impossible to store in my own memory is which C++ version a feature was added in, so when working on a C++14 codebase, I write class template parameter deduction dependent code and then have to check CPP Reference to see why I was wrong. I agree that memorizing gobs of this stuff isn’t important.
Simple solution for me was to do a dopamine detox. This requires getting rid of things you enjoy, but that's somewhat the point. Instead of doing things you want, you are wasting time on things you don't.

After giving up video games, programming was fun. Reading nonfiction was insanely fun. So much so, it became a new addiction.

Maybe giving up things you enjoy is easier said than done.
It happens more at companies where there are multiple products. The opportunity cost of expanding features on product A is expanding features on product B. And then product C comes along, and it’s really hot, and so if A is stable and earning good marks, it doesn’t change much.

The part that caught my eye was redundancy on memory.

>> Hubble’s operators initially thought a memory module was at fault but switching to one of three backup modules produced the same error.

Apparently Hubble has 4 memory modules which are switchable! I'd love to see how that works. Actually, I'd be fascinated to get a walkthrough of the overall architecture. It might give insights for how we keep business continuity by first accepting that hardware and software will fail.
Well I guess I don't necessarily mean professional competitive players, just people who play a versus game and take it seriously. If you could plug it in and get 120FPS, I could see some of these people consider getting one, especially if it overlaps with their interest in non-competitive games.

Best Practices of Functional Testing
Use-after-free is definitely the major footgun portion of RAII in C++ (in my experience) but seems to me like the same issue would be present in any non-GC'd language that offers a 'deferral' mechanism, asynchronous or not (unless it has ownership/borrow management like Rust as you point out).
In all fairness, there's a lot of system things in the US that's hostile against the poor
I like the format of Lite CNN over regular one which is littered with ads.

On the topic itself - Global Warming should be part of middle or high school syllabus. I know they talk about effects of it - but not sure they talk about prevention that seriously.
My vote goes to Switzerland too.

I migrated here years ago, felt unhappy and travelled a lot. Only with getting older and mostly trough the current pandemic i realized how lucky i actually am.

- We still practice small scale farming communities that are commercially feasable due to smart import taxes

- We have multiple altitudes, climate zones and languages,
something for everyone.

- We have a well working society and government most people are very accepting for. Something most countries don't seem to have as seen recently.

- We are kinda well protected (good army, mountains, plenty of weapons in private homes [if that's good or not, it might be in this scenario])

- I think no country did show how it values the independent individual responsibility more than Switzerland in the recent months. No hard lockdowns, no weird laws that just suddenly appear, no swiss being locked out because of weird border issues, ... Most things were done by repeatly explaining why its necessary and not by enforcing it

- Very good education (for free or at least affordable) and the option for home schooling.

- Quality food is affordable. Swiss always think i am joking, but in reality the price difference between organic meat and not is less, and especially the availability is good compared to any other country i've been to. We also generally use less fertilizers than anyone in the EU
You are not in a recruiting process and that's how you should answer.

Also, sometimes adding pressure to a situation can make them just pass if there are any questions or doubts. But given a few extra days they may wait for more feedback which works in your favor.

I'd relax and not force it, if it works out then you have a decision to make, otherwise you are still in good shape for now.
> I'm good at estimating what parts of a task will take a long time.

That may well be "magical thinking"; but nobody said that costs imposed on businesses don't deplete consumers' wallets, eventually.

There's a libertarian, anti-regulation line of thought to which some USAians seem to be particularly prone.

Europe, and especially the EU, runs on regulations. Without all kinds of regulations, the EU would fall apart. Most people here understand that. They also understand that imposing costs on businesses results in marginally more expensive products (although GDPR compliance isn't expensive, especially if your gesture towards the GDPR is just a cookie wall).

I worked janitorial once, but in my case it was for a place called "ServiceMaster" that did office buildings after normal business hours. Their starting pay was also typically 1.5-2× minimum wage, and included benefits, and our bosses treated us with proper basic human respect. All that was expected of us was that by morning the building was clean and certain areas disinfected properly (bathrooms and breakrooms mostly). How and when we got it done was left to us, as long as it got done before quitting time. (We usually just worked our butts off to get it all done hours earlier than expected and then just slacked off the rest of the shift.) It was actually one of the better jobs I've had over the years. I got the impression though that we were considered "higher end janitorial services" and that our level of pay reflected that. Where I live motel janitorial appears to be more on par with burger flipping (as far as pay, not level of work), though I could see hotel janitorial staff probably getting paid more. There is a bit of a difference between a typical motel vs even a low-end hotel though.
