Not if he has a large pile of cash, which the OP said it did.

Say that he's got $500K in cash but can put only $3.8K/month toward the mortgage, while the average person around him has $250K but can put $5K/month toward a mortgage. Average housing prices are $1.25M, so at 4.5% interest rates he's competitive. He puts down $500K and borrows $750K @ $3.8K/month for a $1.25M house, while the average borrower puts down 20% ($250K) and borrows $1M @ $5K/month.

If interest rates go down to 2.5% like they did now, the average borrower can now borrow $1.25M, so home prices go up to $1.5M. His cash stash still would require a $1M loan, which would cost around $4K/month, so he has been priced out.

If interest rates go up to 20% like in 1980, then the average borrower can only borrow $300K to maintain $5K/month, so home prices drop to around $550K and he can purchase with cash, or a tiny mortgage. All of the homes between $550K-730K (previously, roughly $1.25M-$1.7M) are now unaffordable to the average mortgage buyer, but are well within OP's range.

Inflation acts as a tax on savers and a subsidy for debtors.

A water crisis is almost always a case of using slightly more water than is available, so you can usually address one by putting the burden on whichever consumers are least able to fight back, even if they are least responsible for the crisis.

What are you trying to imply here?

SSH is used to authenticate to GitHub as a specific user. GitHub can use this for access control and logging. This isn't new or surprising.

If you don't want to authenticate to GitHub as a specific user, you can clone repositories over HTTPS. This isn't new either. You can't authenticate over HTTPS anymore, but if you were concerned about being "controlled and recorded", you weren't doing that anyway.
I don't think there will be some massive change in the number one day. We can already detect some things in the blood. I suspect we'll just keep slowly adding things we can detect and eventually it will get cheap enough to make it worth doing for everyone.
> They can set the Fed fund rate anywhere they want... if they are willing to accept the consequences of doing so

Sure, the “consequences of doing so” is how they choose where they want to set them.

The upthread suggestion that the 30yr Treasury rate puts an effective cap on target rates because a yield inversion will cause a recession (and, implicitly, Treasury rates are unresponsive to the policies that are used to achieve the Fed funds target) remains false and based on mistaking a symptom with a cause of recessions.
You'll still have to fulfil minimal required deposits with the central bank (but my understanding was that they are free of charge).

Opinion shepherding has always existed , in the ancient past it used to be merely gossip between people, soon transforming into print media, radio, television. Social media is its latest avatar. I can only shudder imagining what awaits us in the future.
As I mentioned, this is irrelevant one second after it's published.
It exists. It's out of print. It's "The Sounds of Music: Perception and Notation" by Gerald Eskalin. He had multiple academics acknowledge that it's great for what it is and all of them expressed that they could never use it because it completely fails to fit the standard school curriculum, it violates all the expectations of what is taught in what order.

"Music theory" is almost always "European academic music jargon and notation patterns" with near-zero theory at all. If you actually want theory, you want something like "Music and Memory: An Introduction" by Bob Snyder which is written for creative multimedia artists and others with no formal music notation training, and it doesn't even ever show notation and never gets into harmony at all, but it explains the rest of the basic perception of music.
I'd chalk this up to the dev team having capacity with people who favour rust. Rather than some organisational or systemic choice.
If an 18 year old shows enough promise to go succeed in ventures outside college, why would you think they would devolve to pointless hoop-jumping and grade grubbing in college?

These sorts of criticisms of college seem bizarrely paternalistic or maybe fatalistic, acting like people lose all sense of agency just because they’re taking classes or something. The reality is that college is just like the rest of life: you get out of it what you put into it. It’s possible to coast and get the sheepskin, sure, but lots of people coast outside of college too.

There are certain types of ventures in which we could expect an 18-year-old to find success absent a college education, yes. Those doors are not closed to college graduates, though, and many doors are opened through advanced education—not all of which lead to commercial ventures.
Roscosmos' Rogozin is rumored to be falling out of favor with Putin, and I see him as holding back US-Russian cooperation on ISS. Not sure why I'm bring this up other than wishing that cooperation would continue, but on the other hand being stuck in low earth orbit is also getting old.
Sadly the world no longer values savings and prudence. Might as well jump out on the risk curve and get rewarded with everyone else. Those with the worst loans in '08 were bailed out so there is little downside. I wish it were not this way but might as well take advantage

My guess: Deno would perform too slowly which would hurt the UX. It would also be harder to maintain than a language like Rust. And of course Rust doesn't need a runtime.

Ever wondered why government debts are a problem to begin with? Lots of people with money aren't paying taxes. There is always enough money in an economy to repay all debts, the problem is getting that money to move back to the government. If interest is positive it must loop around multiple times.

Kinda, but you could already have "saved credentials" for git:// URLs by having something like this in your ~/.config/git/config:

* is a special character on HN and can cause unusual formatting problems, and especially in a code context can be easily confused with the multiplication operator, and attempting to represent a footnote-superscript asterisk character requires use of ZWJ and "combining asterisk above" and hoping that it's supported ⃰. The 'second footnote' character is a reliable indicator of the presence of a footnote and is not easily confused for the addition operator. You're correct about the etymology of it, but attempting to force adherence to a historical use (that is not prohibited by the site guidelines) is no more likely to succeed than asking a language to stop changing is.

⃰ And that it's even remotely readable to be an asterisk, which my terrible vision can't make out in the text input field on HN, and that it's wrapped correctly (which it's not), and that it's spaced far enough away from the previous character (which it's not) and that <SPACE> <ZWJ> <COMBINING ASTERISK ABOVE> are handled properly by the website (which is still not universal† yet‡).

† Emoji have helped, though HN specifically removes them.

‡ Note, however, that in the HN text input field, the dagger and double dagger are not shown superscript, as they are in the resulting comment you're reading now. It seems to be up to the font to decide what to do, as Unicode opted out of superscripting concerns.
Sure, but if you like at the data in the article it's virtually identical to the 2nd dose data.
I strongly urge people to skip this and not keep suggesting it. It amounts to Bernstein being an outlier in bothering to even ask questions in the right direction while few others were doing so, and he gives lots of erroneous and speculative answers based on having no access to the rest of ethnomusicology and music cognition and other understandings that have developed in the decades since.

They haven't ever been better than Apple laptop hardware, even in Intel-land.

Near | Passadena, CA / Remote | Machine Learning Engineer | Full-time

I'm hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to join the Data Science team at Near. This is a new, remote-friendly role that help the department to develop solutions that are more scalable at a faster pace. You won’t be just an implementer of solutions, but a full-fledged part of developing those solutions. Our Data Science team is a highly collaborative group that works closely with other Product, Engineering, and Analytics Teams to develop novel algorithmic approaches for contextualizing location data, evaluation of data from potential business partners, as well as managing data optimization from advertising data sources, and analysis of bidding data from mobile app monetization. We are the champions and guardians of Near’s data. Ours is often greenfield work - we work on the problems no one knows how to solve yet. You will be writing code for machine learning and big-data processing solutions being developed by our team as well as being a resource to help our Data Scientists write more scalable, more maintainable, more performant code themselves using better processes like code reviews. You’ll also be a translator of ‘Data Scientist’ speak to ‘Engineer’ speak and help bridge the gap between the two teams. The perfect candidate for this role will be skilled with Java, Python, or Scala.

I don't deny any of this information, on the contrary I'm well aware of it. Average age 79, 99% of had a significant confounding illness. The vast majority of people who have died were already sick and living in a nursing home, literally waiting to die. Meanwhile in my state until March of last year deaths from child abuse, which has sky-rocketed at unprecedented rates world wide since the start of the pandemic, outstripped deaths from Covid. I don't understand why you and so many other are living in denial of that information. It's like you don't even care about the costs of your actions, just a the vague justification of the number of people who have died from covid. The fact is people are going to die no matter what you do about it, so not acknowledging these policies themselves have caused suffering, let alone seriously consider whether or not they were effective, is a more egregious sleight than not doing anything at all. 5 years from now people are going to look back at humanity's reaction to Covid and say, "wow, that was astonishingly stupid."
Well, the price of parts of the DIY edition are really comparable to market price.

Price is not that much higher if the promise to be able to keep upgraded is fulfilled, I totally can see this laptop being used (and upgraded) for at least a decade.

There is literally nothing on the market that is equivalent to the PC tower you upgrade through years.

And I truly love that they made the choice to use USB-C instead of proprietary connectors for the modules. It means that if the market really exists, we can hope for third party components.
Indeed, in addition the central banks don't just charge negative rates, they also allow borrowing at negative rates (-1%) via the TLTRO which means banks are making money borrowing from the ECB, they currently receive more money from TLTRO loans alone than the ECB charges them.

In short, low interest rates are obviously a factor, but banks didn't have to do this. They're charging you because they can and because most banks are following suit.

Same. Unless you make it your personal responsibility, it won't get done. Documentation is hard, and not everyone's definition of fun. It's especially hard to explain things you are intimately familiar with to your colleagues.

I've done that for long enough to be very good at it. Now I earn my living from documenting stuff the local government doesn't document property.
Ok, so how are you making money to sustain your operation? Presumably you are a business, not a charity. Your vault isn't free, neither is the land it sits in, and as you gain more customers your security costs are going to increase. Also your customers are going to want convenient withdrawal and deposit options, so you will need multiple vaults in different locations (plus security measures). Not to mention the overhead you'll need to run this business (accountants, HR, IT, asset managers, etc). Thus there is a degree of scaling to your costs. This is fine though, just subtract these costs from the revenue generated by your investments. Your simplified business model looks something like this:

Profit = Investment Returns - Operational Costs - Interest Paid to customers

Only you have to have sufficiently liquidity such that your customers can get withdrawals whenever they want. This means your investment pool is going to be conservative, thus limiting your returns. Now what happens when your nation's central bank craters interest rates, thus driving your investment returns down? Oh shit, now the revenue source is drying up. What gives? Profit, or your interest rates? Well profits have to be at minimum high enough to justify all this effort, so looks like the interest rates are going to drop and drop and drop as the cost of money goes down....

Congratulations, you are now in the same place as all those other institutions. Who would have guessed that an identical business model subjected to all the same economic push and pulls would end up at the same destination.

While many people are happy to write software as a hobby, having to fiddle with ansible, docker, kubernetes or other devops stuff is the kind of thing that would make people quit their jobs.

It astonishes me how people can enjoy this kind of tedious work as a hobby.
I don't really follow what you two are arguing about - I think it's pretty clear you can in theory write systems-level programs in most of those languages. However if the focus is on Operating Systems, there have been a few formally verified OS's written in Ada/Spark that are worth looking at (if I correctly read these posts as saying that's not possible).
Unlike Mullvad, Mozilla isn't just trying to run a VPN service profitably. They're trying to get reliable recurring revenue on the balance sheet to spend on other things, like redesigning Firefox over and over and increasing their CEO's salary. So they really want to lock people into longer-term subscriptions, whereas Mullvad is fine with users subscribing for a month and then leaving.

> If you are using a compost toilet right next to your neighbor, you are being a bad neighbor.

I guess you're not familiar with modern composting toilets.

They have become very popular replacement heads (toilets) in small boats, for instance. Where the toilet and composting container is often within inches of your sleeping area due to very limited space. Smell is a non-issue even in such tight quarters.

A land-based neighbor dozens of feet (or more) away stands no chance of smelling anything.
Germany reduced its VAT last year in july by 3% and reinstated it this year. This masks inflation quite a bit. Inflation last august was 0% (rest of the year was negative). So inflation compared to 2019 is also 4% for august.

Fairy similar to what I did except I used proxmox and lxc not docker compose. Since proxmox is addressable via cli you can ansible against it to deploy stuff. There is also a module for it but I skipped that.

I’d suggest blocking port 53 at the firewall too. I was surprised how much stuff doesn’t go through the cloudflared tunnel. You think it’s all going through the Pihole but there is so much rogue stuff
I heard that Duolingo is going to be shut down in China. Like, only non-profit tutoring is now permitted in this country. I don't think it's the best decision for citizens because using apps like Duolingo is convenient during subway rides or something like that. I know it's not as beneficial as some tutoring services like https://preply.com/ , but it's more than nothing. I don't think that learning languages in China is accessible as it was before, so it's not for the best.
My understanding is that this is just another provider being added to their existing tip jar [0] feature. They essentially let twitter users link out to their third party cash app, paypal, venmo, etc accounts, and people can use those third party services.

- Formen: thats just a process manager. you need somethign for otp as well. in my startup, its booted up from kubernetes. the nice thing is that the vm will use all available cpus.

- Webpacker: phoenix comes with webpack out of the box though I think they are replacing that in the next version with esbuild.

- Redis: Elxir borrows from the beam and part of that includes both an in memory ets (key balue storage system) and mnasia (a slightly more sophisticated queriable database. ie: I don't need to setup redis when the virtual machine has something already avaialble. redis is there if you really want it though

- Capistrano: We use kubernetes but theres also mix release which comes out of the box

- AnyCable or ActionCable: have you heard of phoenix's channels system? its WAY more powerful. action cable is a toy compared to what the channels system can do and its already setup when you start a phoenix app.

- Sidekiq or whatever for ActiveJob: Oban works great and I was able to set it up and use it from scratch within an hour
