It can continue until people start withdrawing physical cash in large amounts, which will happen when the negative rate starts outweighing the cost and risk of storing cash.

After that, further decreases of the interest rate can only work if cash withdrawals are restricted to prevent bank runs, or alternatively if the value of physical cash and digital deposits are decoupled. The IMF has posted something about the latter option[1].

Fly.io doesn't look much at all like Cloudflare Workers; it's not a Javascript API, but rather a platform for running arbitrary containers in discrete VMs.
Also, Intel and AMD chips are allowed to greatly exceed those TDP numbers with as much as 50-60 watts peak consumption.
with those requirements, laravel would probably make even more sense. there's plenty of drop in code to get to 80% of what you need within a day or two and the perf is going to be better than rails.

That said, I'm an elixir developer and I use elixir because I need to handle heavy loads and thousands of daily users with unforgiving uptime guarantees. Elixir lets me do that while keeping my hair.
> there is very little connection between "aesthetic value" and "market value."

Wait, so how do you determine this "aesthetic value" if not by how much people are willing to work to acquire it?

Your personal opinion? Some authority figure? Maths?
It was never meant to be used as such. Its adoption as an identifier is the worst "hack" I've seen.

I hate how businesses trust it as sort of some password. It's ridiculous how much damage a scammer can do by using your SSN.

Like it's a freaking plain text number. At this point it really should not be used for anything at all, and we should just assume that our SSN is public knowledge. I think we have the technology and means to come up with something better.
ThinkPads are still the name of the game for enterprise laptop deployments. AFAIK, they don't contain any preloaded stuff beyond the OEM app (Lenovo Vantage). Some enterprises prefer the more stripped down Lenovo System Update instead, although I think users may need Vantage to change some hotkey, etc. settings.

Still, for a business with stricter security standards, it would be ideal to do a clean reimage of all new laptops regardless of vendor, and specifically add only the necessary drivers, etc.
Our entire political systems is hyperbolic and actively seeks to undermine trust in institutions that could push back against the political system’s interests. Even if the danger were eminent, the average person on the street 1) probably couldn’t understand the threat and 2) wouldn’t have a single idea about how to mitigate their personal exposure to that threat (if it were even possible for them to do so).
> Now they are charging for something that was once free without really explaining any benefits?

It was free when they could afford it. Now it’s not, because they do indeed, need money. Why is that so wrong?
You'd be surprised, this is how most modern "high end" Intel laptop actually works. Even some Intel Macbook Pro exhibited this.

If it's only the cost of milk that has doubled, I agree that a 20% hourly wage increase will cover it. It's a different story if the overall cost-of-living outpaces wages.

It's quite alright - I may have exaggerated the emotional impact on me (since communicating by text is still incredibly flawed).

No tears were had, all wounds remained scabby!
I have just started using it today, but it seems to work pretty good. I want to use it to edit a latex file with a college (like Overleaf). I normally use git to collaborate, but merging branches and all that can become a problem some times.

Apparently it starts a server which shares the buffer, so you are not really accessing the machine.
> Yes, that is exactly it. The economy falls apart if everyone saves too much. Money is an imaginary number designed to facilitate separation of labor, if too many people save and retire early then there won't be enough people working.

Yes, this I recently learned is called the paradox of thrift. [1]

I had a fun situation where my university lecturer told me "Myself and other lecturers also work at the local community college teaching the same subjects, it costs $100 per semester there and you can transfer the credit across."

So for at least the first year of university i spent almost nothing on tuition. Which was nice for someone who was really struggling back then.
I'm not very familiar with PowerBI to be honest, but from what I'm seeing it's heavily integrated with Microsoft services which Chartbrew is not made for.

Chartbrew offers some different options for integrations such as custom API integrations (works with any REST API), MongoDB, and Firebase.

Also Chartbrew is not as complex as PowerBI which can be both a minus and a plus, depending on the use-case.
My father always said that taxes are a problem of the rich. Middle class and below rarely complain about them. If your family is moving around money like that to avoid taxes, then you are a lucky and/or wealthy person!

Silly? Yes, I agree. I favour about 50% inheritance tax with almost zero minimum. Inheritance is fuel for the fire of income inequality. Families create dynasties by avoiding inheritance tax. Most highly industrialised, wealthy countries would have much less income inequality with vastly higher inheritance taxes.
>>I am curious why the government would need to punish people because they are living as they wish, in land they bought and own.

You don't own the land of an allotment. You rent it from the local council, usually for many years, but you don't own it. Sometimes there's an option to "buy" it so there is no rent but you still don't own the actual land, no title is ever assigned to it or to you. You just get permanent right to use it.
At least that one ended in a burst of new threads for my imagination to chew on; the second half of Fall slowly dwindles into the petty, boring squabbles of gods, leaving a ton of more interesting questions unasked and unanswered.

It's a good edit. Thanks for posting.
This is generally the same in the US. If a product is not sold "as-is", it falls under the Federal Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act; which enforces any warranty claims made by the manufacturer. In addition, there are multiple state level legislative actions that enforce consumer protections. For this reason a minimum one-year full warranty (manufacturer repairs or replaces the item, in good faith) on new goods is the standard, followed by an additional year or two of limited warranty (if you can prove it broke at no fault of your own, they offer a repair or replacement process).

Ray-Tracing Digital Elevation Data in 3D with Povray (2019)
I submitted this earlier. This github project (not mine) has pretty extensive benchmarks and the M1 makes a very strong showing.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28346908

On another note, I was amazed to see the SHA-1 and SHA-256 (and the Blake2b) performance numbers when running the benchmark of minio’s blake2b-simd (over M1 Golang) on a 16GB M1 Air. For some reason, Go on M1’s SHA-1 and SHA-256 are getting orders of magnitude better numbers (~2.5GB/sec!) and even the Blake2b code is beating the numbers for the same code running on an intel Air (which uses the SIMD codepath).

To add to this, an SSN seems to be pretty carelessly shared these days — I recently had an interaction with a government official where they just asked me for it, and of course there's plenty of forms both online and offline where you need to share it.

If I saw that someone printed a form with their SSN on the office printer and forgot to pick it up, I'd just set it aside without a second thought, because it just isn't something that makes one think "red alarm fire".

Contrast this with something like a private key, which never leaves your possession and is never shared directly, just used for signing. Unfortunately most non-technical people have no concept of such a thing, apart from...stamps and seals? The chip on a credit card might count, but it doesn't seem like people care about losing possession of that too much either.
Login.gov is shockingly well done. Multiple U2F keys, gives clear reasons why SMS is less optimal than U2F/TOTP, very clear flow.
I am wondering if I'd prefer to use NixOS to using Docker + Ansible + yada-yada for a similar setup. I've never used either, just a guess after reading many articles.
Because it's envisioning a false utopia where no one gets their feelings hurt, which is a subjective measurement. This reality doesn't exist, nor will it ever.

What one person sees as narcissistic or asshole behavior the other person might not. Sometimes whether it makes people feel bad is irrelevant.
Based on my casual observation it has (almost) nothing to do with the policies and (almost) everything to do with the effect on the economy of a total war.
I believe that would be one of the "indirect methods" that's known and described in the articles as "mental effort".

Apparently the person described in the article can do it without indirect methods, and also "feel" the muscles involved.

From what's described it's almost as natural as moving an arm for them.

We do need one, yes, but realistically we'd have to delay the requirements for presenting one until something like 99.9% of people could be shown to have been issued one. Otherwise it's not really fair and would be a huge lever for abuse.

This always comes up with identification requirements for voting. It seems superficially reasonable to require them, especially if you are looking at it from abroad, or if you are pretty young. But the fact is that within living memory many American states had local policies of not recording the births of black people, and to this day there are many living black people who can't prove their own citizenship.

Unless and until every one of the fifty US states can demonstrate that they've put an ID card in the hands of virtually everybody, it won't be reasonable to condition things like education, health care, or voting on the possession of one.
Thanks for dropping by!

There is a basic transformation layer that does basic arithmetic and string concatenation. This is a continuous work in progress as I add more options the more feedback I get from customers. I actually received a request for extra transformations just yesterday. So gotta put those in the roadmap!

>it's likely the lipid nanoparticles causing Myocarditis

What's this based on? Given the occurrence of myocarditis in actual COVID infections at a higher rate than with the vaccines, it seems more likely to be an immune-mediated response, at least partly to the spike fragments included in the mRNA vaccines.

But why is it better (for him, for anyone) for his success to come from one avenue than another? If he knows "companies I invest in tend to succeed," it's hard to see why he would skip over a great company, possibly allowing them to fail. It might even be considered unethical if that company produces something useful to the world.

I’ve see no mention of dinghy (https://github.com/codekitchen/dinghy), which is what I used to roll before Docker for Mac really got up and running. I pulled it up yesterday and everything still works.

For anyone who is interested in a Docker Desktop alternative but without the k8 overhead, there’s a head start here just waiting to be picked up and revitalized.
It’s not “wrong”, but it’s annoying. They’re asking me to invest into their platform, but they’re also constantly increasing the price and/or making it more restrictive. This makes it hard for me to understand the long term cost of a commitment.
Writing, technically
> Why should I take a vaccine

> when it is now known that vaccinated people can still spread the virus

Because just because you "can" doesn't mean that you're as likely to[1]:

> Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. However, vaccinated people appear to spread the virus for a shorter time […] This means fully vaccinated people will likely spread the virus for less time than unvaccinated people.

(—the CDC)

> If the chance of me getting hospitalized is so low to begin with, what's the benefit of the vaccine to me.

With what data exists, the chance of side-effects from the vaccine is many orders of magnitude less than the chances of any of suffering from COVID or even death from COVID.

[1]: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/delta-var...

I also don't think it is worth putting stock into fear of the unknown with this vaccine: scientists have developed vaccines before. If anything, the structure of this particular vaccine — an mRNA strand inside a lipid bubble — seems a lot safer and much less ad-hoc than what I understand of earlier vaccines; in fact, it seems like downright engineering, and to me, it is exciting that we've gotten tech for that at such a crucial time. My high-school level biology knowledge of how mRNA interacts with a cell makes me feel that part should be pretty safe; what side-effects the spike protein might have are, I suppose, an unknown, but without the virus, your chances of not getting infected, are, IMO, not good, and the virus will generate far more than just spike proteins, and in far greater numbers. We also know just as little about the long-term side effects of the virus, but thus far, the reports on side-effects from the virus are much worse than reports on side-effects from the vaccine.

That's also just assessing it from the standpoint of "me", but part of the other reason I got the vaccine is that, while I might be young and healthy and might be able to give COVID a run for its money (though honestly, the idea of a respirator scares me far more than anything about the vaccine) I have people around me who are not so young or not so healthy; while I might live, I do not want to transmit a a virus that could be potentially lethal to them.

The good outweighs the bad. (Very clearly, IMO.) Yes, there are some unknowns, but nothing in life is certain.

Something seems off here.

1. Cadential six-four chords are only listed briefly under the "figured bass" section. But cadential six-fours are a concept from Roman numeral functional harmony, which is outside the scope of figured bass. (Figured bass only tells what intervals make up the chord-- or in some special circumstances hints about voicing-- but not about how those chords function.)

2. The section on cadences-- which precedes the section on figured bass-- does not treat cadential six-four chords at all, nor AFAICT include any examples of them.

In other words-- this text burrows away a fundamental pattern for ending phrases in tonal music. That makes a special case of most of the endings found in most Christian church hymnals, for example.

> The difference is that for the first time in a long time they can’t make enough from deposits to cover that cost.

Yes, and the reason they can't make enough is because central banks are pushing down interest rates in order to nudge people into spending vs. saving. If central banks were not acting as a lender of last resort (at record low interest rates no less), the cost to borrow would be higher, and savers would likely be seeing higher interest rates.
