it isn't clear what it means if anything.

basically just means banks have way more cash than they know what to do with (due to fed policy), so they are parking it overnight at the fed for close to zero interest.

the fed introduced this program to prevent interest rates from going below zero. they are essentially a floor on the market. and soaking up excess short term liquidity.
You're not looking at and digesting all of that information at once (unless you have an impressive dozen sets of eyes :) ). You're context switching, and you've found that the most productive way for you to context switch is to have everything fully available at a glance. For others, being able to switch at a literal glance is less productive and more taxing (those 10 process can be distracting!) so we use different tools or methods, like workspaces, tmux sessions, terminal tabs. I usually have three projects each loaded and available for attention at once with a key press, but I don't need (nor do I want) them actively visible alongside each other.
If aliens don't like us, then why wouldn't they just destroy us, rather than troll our physicists and mess with the results?

What's the point of this "fun fact"? I guess the implication you're trying to make is that PFOF is bad by association with maddoff. It's easy to see the flaw with this logic, eg. the autobahn was "pioneered" by hitler, therefore it's bad.

Is this comment in good faith, or are you needlessly playing Devil's Advocate?

There are very few similarities in their cases other than the fact that they were both tried for Murder.

- OJ was never convicted, he was acquitted outright. Amanda Knox was convicted. And only acquitted after appeals 4 years later.

- OJ did not get charged in a foreign country, in which local police and courts failed to provide due process. In fact, he received arguably the best legal defense in the country.

- OJ released a book afterwards - "if I DID IT: Confessions of the Killer" describing the murder in great detail. I mean, you've seen the book cover, right? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4f/If_I_di...

I'm really stumped by this comment. OJ got off, and essentially bragged about it. How is there any similarity here?

> why should rhetoric (or looks) be the determining factor when it comes to public empathy? #metoo and #blacklivesmatter both happened but I'm yet to see black people being judged less harshly and trusted by the public.

I think you're massively conflating these two topics. There's a real discussion to be had on race dynamics and conflict in relation to public sentiment, but it's a real stretch to say that's at play here unless you have a better example than OJ.

The real Knox was acquitted and found not guilty. That’s different from being innocent.
So it needs a laser, but it doesn't absorb any energy from the laser? Hmm.

The idea that spacetime itself has energy, which balances out the apparent lack of energy conservation in matter fields, is a far stronger interpretation than the article suggests. Spacetime energy bends spacetime, which is why gravitational waves exist. It's even called the stress-energy tensor.
Of course it is. You might weigh 180lbs and are buying 20lbs of groceries lets say. Your truck is 5000lbs. 96% of the resources used are just to move that hunk of metal around. Use a moped or better yet a bike for that sort of trip. Use the truck when you need to tow a 20 foot boat. Tool for the job, and all.
I like where your head's at, but consider that email is vastly superior to snail mail.

We haven't abandoned it entirely, we've just started ignoring it and let the parasites fill it up with spam.

If humanity is typical of civilizations, I'd expect the EM spectrum near more advanced civilizations to be buzzing with ads, scams, and malware--most of which is ignored by that civilization.

They haven't said hi because our broadcasts are caught in their spam filer, and we don't know about their spam because it's down out by their star.

It works the other way too: Back when we were single celled organisms, we used to communicate with chemical markers. Now that we're bigger, we mostly ignore that space because our immune systems (read: spam filter) let us get away with that ignorance (mostly).
Do the variations of letter glyphs have unique names? Like the curly vs simplified versions of lower case 'a' and 'g'?

I greatly prefer the simplified glyphs for programming. Like IBM's Plex.

https://github.com/IBM/plex

Adobe's Source Code Pro uses curly glyphs for the normal typeface and simplified for italics, which seems backwards to me.

I can't quickly refind the customizable font project with source code, where you recompile the typeface with the options you want.
We have a monorepo with 200packages. NPM install times were longer than 1hour. Unusable. Yarn v2 took this down to 20 seconds. Yes, around 200x faster. They just are not comparable on that aspect.

The issues we had are with some packages who don’t list their peerDependencies correctly, or which assume the file structure of node_modules will be the one made by npm. But yarn has improved and these obstacles are much easier now.
I love how the burden of proof is apparently on the people who don't want to take the highly experimental rushed to market treatment that is making its manufacture (and those in government who are linked to said manufacturers) rich.

It varied wildly as communist countries tried every trick on the table to keep their economies from dying every few years, but the essence was that none of them really worked before most minimal forms of private property, and enterprise was allowed.
Not enough units being built is only part of the problem. There are empty apartments in the buildings that he buys. You know why? Because they are owned by people who reside abroad (US, Australia, Canada etc). These people have plenty of cash, so they buy multiple properties and just let it sit there (if they can't sell it for a profit), visiting for a week every 2-3 years. They are simply pricing the locals out. The only reason they buy is to sell it at some point in future, for a profit.

You asked why it is morally bad. It is morally bad because the prices are artificially inflated. This guy I told you about, he can sit on these empty properties for 5, 10, 20 years if he chooses to, because he doesn't need the money.

So not only people like him inflate the prices, they also let properties sit empty.

None of this is illegal, of course. One can argue it is just business, that is also true. But that doesn't make it ethical or moral. Real estate prices in cities like Bangalore are absurd, thanks to people like him. It is happening in Canada, Australia etc too.

This is a case of an algorithm doing stupid stuff and misclassifying things - it's also perfectly fair to criticize whether FB should actually control the classification algorithm for this particular type of statement. A misbehaving algorithm doesn't prove the lack of a system though - it just proves that the current one is broken.
Here’s a possibility: They are in the next universe over, and so far the only thing that passes between is gravity. Fine-grained control over gravity could allow them to mess with things but not destroy us (if they even wished to. I don’t even think Earth would vote to destroy an unknown civilization if the roles were reversed)
Which is a problem. We should be adopting lighter vehicles like ebikes and emopeds for most trips and errands around town instead of 4000lbs 16 feet long Teslas and massive F150s where we might use their capabilities once or twice a week. A new ebike is the price of an options package on an F150.

> In fact, in the case discussed, the very measures which the dominant “macro-economic” theory has recommended as a remedy for unemployment, namely the increase of aggregate demand, have become a cause of a very extensive misallocation of resources which is likely to make later large-scale unemployment inevitable. The continuous injection of additional amounts of money at points of the economic system where it creates a temporary demand which must cease when the increase of the quantity of money stops or slows down, together with the expectation of a continuing rise of prices, draws labour and other resources into employments which can last only so long as the increase of the quantity of money continues at the same rate – or perhaps even only so long as it continues to accelerate at a given rate.
When you consider "part time + another job" vs full time employment the "who is solely dependent on what for their livelihood" comparison probably tips even further toward the federal government.
There are many other reasons why large tech companies have a hard time emerging in Europe. One could argue that none of the really big tech companies that emerged in the US is recent either.

Still can't believe they messed up Yarn so bad with v2. It was all set to replace npm, and now isn't anywhere in the picture.

> If they cannot manage unmoderated posting without hurting a lot of people, why should they be allowed to run a business based on unmoderated posting?

This is nonsense. They are trying to moderate content and they're being told that it's not permitted. It's qualitatively akin to requiring the New York Times to publish all letters to the editor. Or more specific to the posted article, require that the NYT write a personalized response for each letter that they don't publish and give the letter's author an opportunity to edit it for content.
That honestly makes it weirder to me. If gw had this policy a few years ago this guy never would have been found and hired.
They could if it was an indie movie. If Matt Damon's starring, that's an 8-figure sum that's got to be made back somehow. Marketing costs for movies today are as much as the film budget itself.
That is so appealing... I don't have a monorepo with 200 packages but I do `yarn install` in a Dockerfile and if something changed that uncached that line, the whole thing can take 10 minutes or more to download, unpack, install. Would love to try Yarn 2 (3, now, I guess) when I can.

I don't understand why npm just can't improve perf. Seems fixable. In my smaller personal projects without as many dependencies, I just use npm and it's easier.

I don't know about other countries, but in Poland the fine has interest - no less than 8%, it's tied to the economic indicators. It's at the minimum of 8% right now due to covid.
> No amount of divesting is going to accomplish anything. It just makes profitable oil companies a more attractive buy.

Are you certain? In a world of high P/E ratios across the board, profitability is achieved more via appreciation than via dividends. People (e.g. myself) shy away from investing in falling assets, even if their dividend yields are 1% higher than that of the stable or rising asset. Maybe those looking at a 15 year time horizon will see the value and buy despite this, but many people today see it as foolish to try to predict — and therefore invest solely for — 15 years into the future. It’s one of the reasons you don’t see as much short selling as would be maximally profitable in bubbles, for example (eating a couple years of loss and hanging on until the windfall is tough — not just psychologically, but also to your investors who expect consistent returns).

I’ve seen arguments both ways though. Perhaps what’s needed at this point is a study, or something with a more formal treatment of the numbers. But without those I don’t think your view should be taken as conclusive.

You can check my comment to cement this. The pay is excellent but the organization fits people’s general ideas of oracle. I saw contracts signed where we’d purposely lose money for years in order to box out competitors in the short term and then jack up prices for the client in the long term.

What people don’t typically think about though is how massively successful oracle is because of these strategies. They work really well.

My best friend of many years and I were talking yesterday, reminiscing about the job we both had right after high school when Beevis and Butt-Head first came out. He remembered me cracking him up with a weird laugh that I randomly started doing. "You sound like Beevis and Butthead!" to which I replied, "Who?!" Not having cable I hadn't heard of them yet.

So I was Butt-Head incarnate, apparently. Explains some things...

If my servers start mining crypto, I've been pwned by script kiddies. If my data becomes available online and is thus available on the previously mentioned site, I've been pwned by more sophisticated attackers. Whereas if we're thinking more along the lines of NSA or Mossad, they are already in my systems and I just have to hope they're in a good mood.

On that note, none of my self hosted mail server related accounts seem to have been leaked so far, or at least haven't been made publically available.

Apart from that, one can also set up alerts for every SSH login, should fail2ban fail for some reason. On app level it becomes harder, to the point where it's often not worth the effort to introduce alerting. Maybe just blanket ban IP ranges that you don't expect to use at ingress level.
What are the advantages of using Yarn over NPM? It just feels to me that npm does anything that is needed and is available in stuff like ansible-node docker containers. Why should someone who is used to Yarn check Yarn?

I'd argue that entertainment is much more likely to leave a lasting impression on people. Storytelling is far more effective at making people remember something than a well written article.

That's exactly what I'm saying though -- inside a dim church, the 10MP camera takes pictures that, when scaled down to 6MP, are identical to what the 6MP takes in the first place. You need to be a little more aggressive with ISO but the "extra noise" disappears upon downscaling.

While with daytime outdoor shooting, the 10MP genuinely gets you 67% better quality.

If it's not worth the extra $$$ then fine, but the idea that only sensor size matters (and not resolution) is just false.
