> The bond market is not predicting high inflation. I believe experts would say the 1970s are not relevant.

I think it is at least partially relevant that no one working in bonds in 2021 was working in bonds in 1971/1973 period discussed here. It is fun to talk about these past periods but it is very much theoretical for most traders and lessons are hard to remember in your own lifetime let alone from the lifetimes of predecessors.

I encounter this constantly in my profession, which is also heavily reliant on valuation and interest rates. No one in my field today has direct experience of rising interest rate environments since rates have been on a continuous decrease for decades. Even older folks that remember double digits rates still act as if rate can never go up again. They throw caution to the wind. As a result, the market is incredibly susceptible to issues if rates ever do go up. It is mind boggling.
There's a view out there (partially promoted by Taleb) that procrastination is good - it indicates that you shouldn't pursue something, that it's not natural for you.

The problem is that while sometimes that applies, sometimes it doesn't, and it's worth overcoming (I fall more on this side of the issue). In any case, I'm a big advocate for reflecting on why people procrastinate. There are many different reasons.

In Italy no need for insurance, it's just the government that gives it you for free. But the problem is, I believe, different: it's the raw cost of the medication. Here in Europe even if the patient has to buy it, the cost is fraction.
And because SRV records are not used for the web, they can't be used at all, as some routers or something doesn't support them and instead discards them. (~10% of users according to the admin of yaxim.org)

And then along comes https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-https... defining a "SRV2", SVCB and also its identical twin the HTTPS RR (same format, different RR number). I have a fear that those routers will end up supporting the HTTPS RR but not SVCB...

If HTTP(S) would run on a multitude of ports in the wild, firewalling would become an impossible task.

IPv6 also solves the problem, as you can easily assign a big subnet to a web server and one IP per (sub-) domain.

And with the upcoming ESNI there are probably some additional privacy benefits.

Hm, not really sure what "public" means here?

For example, YNAB's API is listed here, which allows a tool using the API to interact with one user's personal account at YNAB.

I'm not sure what part of that I would consider public apart from the documentation. Isn't that just "an API"?

Let's imagine a hypothetical crisis, say a building on fire. You can save your own child/spouse/relative or you can save a complete stranger. You will succeed in saving any of them, but not both.

Most people will chose child/spouse/relative without thinking twice and doing so is quite natural. Not everyone agree on that though, and would argue that the potential benefit the stranger could be to society should be taken into the equation.

Luckily, reality isn't that black and white in most cases, but most people will prioritize their in-group. That's just the way people work.

For me it was exactly the other way around, focused exclusively on C++ for almost 20 years, and then eventually got fed up with where the language was going post-C++11 (basically: let's try to cram every feature from every language ever into C++). First I "branched out" to Python for cross-platform scripting stuff, then rediscovered C99, and now I'm keeping a close eye on the new small languages that have been enabled by LLVM. Of course I still also code in C++ when needed because a lot of libraries are written in C++, and most of my current projects end up being a mix of C and C++ code, but C99 is just so much more enjoyable that I prefer it now over C++ as the "top-level" language in a project, with the C++ parts wrapped away under C APIs.

TL;DR: I think it's not healthy for a language to try to do everything.

PS: Learning and regularly using other languages also feeds back improvements into my C and C++ coding.

While there are countless other channels to communicate today, e-mail probably will stay relevant. It supplies a unique and pseudonymous id that isn't locked behind a single provider. Awesome. Nothing was able to beat that yet.

I am a bit surprised they managed to mention the fact about vendor lock in at all to be honest.

Slack came close to kill e-mail? I don't think so. In the corporate world outside of software development Teams is perhaps even killing Slack again. I believe such platforms to be vastly more fleeting than mail.

> there’s a profound sentiment—in tech circles, especially

Yeah, everyone complains of getting too many mails, but the asynchronous nature is highly appreciated by many. For anything a bit more important mail is used. Slack and Teams are really bad alternatives for important info in my opinion.
This is my favourite kind of content on the web, it always makes my day when something like this pops up on HN.
This. I see a big article how to beat procrastination, I skim it, find it promising, then I keep the tab or bookmark it.
The employee mentioned in the title was also fired, so that part doesn't seem like it was different in 2015.

But as the victim, does it matter to you if a Facebook-employed stalker gets fired? They still have your data.

The bulk of the article is about how Facebook intentionally makes user data accessible to many thousands of employees and relies on measures to audit for inappropriate access after the fact. The concern is not about whether people should get fired or be told it's a fireable offense - the article mentions that many people were fired for this in 2015 - the concern is that the data is so easily available in the first place. From what you're saying, that seems still true: if Facebook has to warn employees against inappropriate access, it means the technical possibility of inappropriate access remains. It seems entirely possible to design systems in a way where access to production data requires live signoff by another employee, etc., and certainly isn't granted to thousands of employees as a matter of course.

I actually think the title buries the lede (and the HN-truncated title even more so). The article starts, "Facebook fired 52 people from 2014 to August 2015 over abusing access to user data, a new book says." Fifty-two people is a lot!

(And I am curious about your description of it being a "main" way to get fired - at my finance employer, insider trading is very much against the rules as well as the law, and we have annoying compliance training about it, but I would hardly call it a "main" way to get fired precisely because it is by and large not a thing people do! If we fired 52 people in a year-ish for insider trading, I think you would be entirely justified in asking questions even though they were getting fired.)

So I think this is entirely reasonable reporting.
I'm also interested in that. I tried MöbiusSync, but it can only sync inside it's own folder. And Obsidian can only open vaults from it's own folder, or iCloud.
Electrek is a glorified Tesla fanboi (Fredrick Lambert) blog which often skews reality. I'd never put "better source" and Electrek in the same sentence.

I'm saying this as a Tesla owner mind you!
I think you can already pick an element.

But what does it mean to pick an element infinitely many times? You have to be very careful about your assumptions there, an inductive proof would only prove you can pick an arbitrarily large number of such elements. To say that you can make a set picking one element each from a infinite collection of sets, even countably infinite, is something you cannot prove inductively. It requires another axiom.

And admitting this axiom suddenly paradoxes like Banach-Tarski are possible.
You'd be better off doing very local advertising in your area and school districts. Bus stops/billboards/etc all "target" your audience. Contact parent orgs etc, give discounts to word-of-mouth referrals.

That made me wonder how the game determines if the number is a prime or not. Turns out it's the Miller-Rabin test with a deterministic variant used for the range (up to 2^53) the game supports. I don't know why the game internally uses a bigint implementation while only supporting numbers up to 2^53 though...
I wish we could actually bet on it. It's a funny thing about this alleged "crisis" -- it's a "crisis", but it's also so vague and slow that nobody's willing to place any bets that could actually be resolved in a reasonable amount of time.

Actually, when you see rich people placing what you could consider private bets, they always seem to be betting against climate disaster, e.g., building airports in the Maldives, buying beachfront property on Martha's Vineyard, etc. Even poor people seem to bet against imminent climate disaster when they, e.g., pay back their student loans.
I would not be surprised if the strategic thinking here is to buy GloFo to get in some outside business and the knowledge about how to run a fab as a service in preparation for spinning the foundry out as a separate business. That way it allows the foundry to scale to the size it needs to be to justify investing in the latest nodes, whilst freeing up the rest of Intel to run much leaner and not to be tied to an uncompetitive foundry.
omg. this is amazing. i'll watch it tomorrow when i have time
>if you are relying on a cultural change it isn't a technological fix

If traditional food sources go away and technology provides an alternative food source, that is what people will eat. Culture will follow technology, if that's what people have to do to survive.

EDIT:That mostly applies to the population in the developed world with access to capital, technology and industrial resources that we can use to adapt our food supply. Not everywhere in the world has those resources to fall back on though.
Then you'll love HTTPS records, described at the linked article and currently being finished up for use with QUIC and ECH.
Let me guess the take: either (a) it will all be fixed at the last minute (even if we're beyond that), by some advanced alien tech we've yet to discover (because humans are so ingenius and nothing can halt progress), (b) it's not an issue, la-la-la hands in the ears.
That is my question also and presumably the answer is "not very good" but we'll have to wait and see as I can't find any info on this. Surely they'll have to rate the experience on a per-game basis when in 4k docked mode else (a small number of) people won't be happy.
High standard of living, excellent infrastructure (transport, finance, biz, gov), very good education (ETHZ, UZH, ZHAW, etc.), surrounded by amazing nature and landscape, very open and diverse (30% foreigners, all shapes and colors), political stability (don't underestimate this when you're thinking about 2050) and solid governance by direct democracy (ZH/CH)... the list goes on and on.

To not "pollute" this comment with various links the simplest way to get a few reference points is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich

Of course nothing's perfect and there's always room for improvement (obviously), and Zurich is also a place with a very high "transparency of costs" so people pay for most of these benefits (less by taxes - but more by rent, cost of living, etc.) but to keep it short: Historically and with recent and future developments it seems to be a valid candidate for being a good if not best place to live in 2050...

Yes but as I read it, the parent comment was not asking about that, but about whether we could even assume we could pick from a single set.
I really need to try this out soon. I keep bumping into it online. What do people on HN use it for?

What I do right now "to collect, save, and view sites you want to preserve offline" is by use of a Firefox plugin called WebScrapBook. Click-click-done, and I have a local searchable (!) copy of a webpage exactly as it looked in the browser. With styles and all, in one file. WebScrapBook is pretty highly configurable.

In the future I would like to have a solution that doesn't require some Firefox plugin.

It meets the definition on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancel_culture).

Unfortunately, the term tends to result in a lot of hypocrisy, as people tend to only call it "cancelling" when it's someone they like or agree with.
>I think technology will result in a great outcome for humanity as long as our greed is checked somehow.

That's difficult, as technology is here mostly because of greed.

Much of technology we don't really need, and even more so for most technology we consume (of course, you can't convince tech workers for that, as their salary, and hobbies, are based on the stuff).

It's either pushed to us by greed, or given to us as a substitute for things we'd rather have (no friends, but here are games you can buy), (no work-life balance, but here's Netflix you can watch when you're home exhaused from work), (no community, but here's social media, go argue with strangers), etc.

While I haven't used it, there is the open source lgogdownloader:

https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader

I only have 12Mbps DSL and an offline game system that I use a FAT formatted microSD card to transfer to so I appreciate the split files, even though it does get annoying with the huge games.

I agree that GOG's Linux support is minimal; often they don't even provide Linux versions that are available on other stores :(.

Two of the isses on the list account42 links to are more serious, although most are fairly minor (there are also a few issues not on the list). Not to excuse those exceptions, however I don't know of any other store that is anywhere close. I have no inside info but my my suspicion is that many CD Projekt investors resent the DRM-free aspect of GOG and would like it to change, while the people running GOG realize it is the major unique aspect of GOG and trying to change it could sink the business. OTOH, I suspect the CD Projekt investors mostly see GOG as a way to get a better deal from Steam for CDPR games. Hard to say what will happen in the future.

It's been three years. Stop saying your European visitors are important to you
I live in Europe after growing up in the States. Every now and then, a link to an interesting news article is suggested to me. Clicking the link, I see this text:

Our European visitors are important to us.

This site is currently unavailable to visitors from the European Economic Area while we
work to ensure your data is protected in accordance with applicable EU laws.

For my European friends, try a link like <www.everythinglubbock.com> or <www.tristatehomepage.com> or <www.khon2.com> or <www.wtrf.com> or <www.wnct.com> or <www.fox46.com> ... or many of the other "local" news sources in the U.S. It's important to note: While these sites cover news in a particular region, we'd need to start calling each McDonald's a local burger joint under this classification.

At the bottom of each page: <https://www.nexstar.tv> - If you click this link, you are not geoblocked! In fact, there are a ton of statistics showing just how many resources this media group has at their disposal to address releasing news articles to Europe. Save a click. It's 4 billion USD revenue, over 100 news sites and TV stations, and a reach into two-thirds of American households. This is no mom and pop operation. They just don't---or maybe can't---care.

I only focused on one media group, but there are others. Here's a news article from the same year GDPR began enforcement two years after its introduction in 2016: <https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44248448>

A little has changed, but not much! Chicago Tribune is finally available. NY Daily News? Can't access. Baltimore Sun or Orlando Sentinel? Also, no.

"Why are you complaining?" you might ask. "What is your goal?"

Besides the obvious---I'd like to read about the communities of my friends and former neighbors---I want two outcomes:

First, any giant search engine company with a news subdomain and 100,000 employees could stop suggesting/featuring geofenced articles to European residents. At least weight these results so they aren't the number one, front page feature. (Although in Google's defense, one can usually click the "Cached" button to get the linked story.)

Second, say something else. The people living across the Atlantic (and their pesky differences of opinion on privacy) can't possibly be more than an inconvenience at this point.

You are in Europe. Mind your own business.

Editing for free is more left wing. Deep research is more left wing. Journalists who write many of the sources are more left wing.

Surveys show more people edit from left wing locations (But not entirely) and to your comment - "Counties with high religious adherence also have a low level of Wikipedia-editing activity" - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/02/where...

Conservapedia is a failure, it's not something the right is good at.

Personally I can find left wing bias easily on Wiki, right wing bias is harder to find for myself. I don't have any reason to think Wikipedia has a right wing bias issue of the same scale.

An idea it's more US centric and the US is more right than Europe and that comes out, would be a good theory, I'm not sold but open to it.

To your example Scientology , the intro sentence is biased, it's a left wing bias, the right would not word their bias (which they have) that way -

"Scientology is a set of beliefs and practices invented by American author L. Ron Hubbard, and an associated movement. It has been variously defined as a cult, a business or a new religious movement"

Strangely Conservapedia is better - "Scientology is a new religion[1] established in the United States by science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard in 1954."

German Wikipedia is good (Translated)- Scientology is a New Religious Movement whose teaching goes back to the writings of the American writer L. Ron Hubbard
All formulas and statements are expressed in first-order logic. It has no such phrase as "pick". But picking (in the axiom of choice) means: Finding a function that maps every set to an element of this set.

What is a function: It's a set of tuples where every tuple (x, y) means: x is mapped to y. Of course there must be exactly one tuple for every "x".

(Tuples btw are usually a short notion for {{x}, {x,y}}. They exist always by the axiom of pairing. By the axiom of extensionalty, they fulfill the universal property of pairs, i.e. (x, y) = (z, w) iff x = z and y = w.)

Assume x is a single nonempty set. Picking means: Finding a function {x} -> x. But this is easy: ∃y(yϵx) because x is nonempty, and then we can build our function, which consists just of the single tuple (x, y).

It also works for finite sets of sets since you can do it manually n times, the formula just gets longer.
I think this would be very understandable to someone without any of the physics knowledge, by just dumbing it down to:

> Fortunately, 2,000 MW of electricity is coming online by August 1, per the California Public Utility Commission. Much of this will have four hours of battery time sitting behind it, nearly 8,000 MWh in total.

Or alternatively, by using the correct physics terms where applicable:

> Fortunately, 2,000 MW of peak power capacity is coming online by August 1, per the California Public Utility Commission. Much of this capacity will have four hours of battery energy sitting behind it, providing nearly 8,000 MWh of energy in total.

But as is, the author provided the worst of both worlds. To me as a reader, I read "2000 MW of energy storage capacity", stumbled over that, then read on to "8000 MWh in total", understood that that is actually the storage capacity, then had to go back to "2000 MW" to understand that they meant "power", not "energy", to make sense of this whole two-sentence section.

So yes, this all does make sense. After reading it multiple times, some of which are back to front. The information is in there, but it certainly isn't clear or up-front.
I don’t believe it.
