"but the evidence just isn't there."

1) The average home price in Canada increased in value more than the average workers income.

Just digest that for a second: buying a home and doing nothing, is 'more productive' than literally working.

That's a devastating situation to be in.

2) Equities are valued quite highly.

3) Esp. after COVID we are now starting to see very real inflation, we're not sure how much of it is from COVID etc.

4) There's a labour shortage, partly due to workers getting support from gov. (at least in Canada) - but a huge signal of inflation.

I believe we are seeing considerable inflation of every kind except the narrow version that the economists traditionally like to use.

Things don't have to 'pop' they can just realign slow or fast, but I believe they are realigning in ways that are going to be difficult to recover from without significant change.

If you think 'raising taxes on the rich' is a controversial idea, how about 'putting a damper on home increases'.

It's the most politically toxic thing imaginable, because it's not like those 'narrow issues' like 'gun control' that hit a narrow group with an ideology - it hits the entire middle and upper class in the pocket book.

Home affordability is a fairly existential issue, and right now in Canada there's an election and not much talking about it because it's a 'no win' for most of the parties, even if they do have some policy things in the background.

So we're already in a 'Funny Money' situation thanks to Toxic Assets from 2008 on the Fed Balance sheet, QE after that, and then 'Wartime Level Debt Spending' as a result of COVID.

It's an odd time.
No one gets an STD at the grocery store or their workplace from close proximity to the infected. Very few people die from STDs (comparatively speaking to COVID) and they are not overloading hospitals.

To me the idea of working at Google probably feels like working at Exxon 20 years ago. A large, dominant company with dwindling prestige that powers a large chunk of the world but in 20 years will be commonly despised. I feel the same way about Facebook.
Why hasn't that happened already in countries with very high vaccine rates, like Israel?
I mostly read HN on my phone and I think the experience is fine. So maybe there’s just not enough demand on that front.
I learned Graffiti on the Newt, actually; everyone pretty much bought it to use on the v1 rev of the NewtOS because of how iffy the HWR was. Using G meant you had a floating input window and an insertion point, which made it usable.

Even on v2, with the VERY good native HWR, I still had Graffiti on the Newton for editing. On a screen full of text, popping up the G window allowed for easier text entry w/o messing with existing text.

So when I went to Palm, I knew Graffiti very very well.

Sync for me was super stable for Palm, but one thing that really hurt Apple was that they more or less IGNORED the desktop. On Windows -- where I lived at the time -- all you could do was back your Newton up. It wouldn't sync to Outlook or a native desktop tool or anything, which is precisely the wrong choice. Palm's easy, simple sync was deadly to the Newton. I'd drop it on my cradle when I came in every morning and hit the sync button before getting coffee.
>it's 5000 year history

Please don't give credence to nonsensical nationalist tropes. The Oracle Bone Script goes back to about 1200 BC during the Shang Dynasty, that makes about 3200 years of history. Before that it's _pre-history_.

It's a bit younger than Linear B, Old Avestan and Vedic Sanskrit. So in terms of a traceable, continuous culture China is at the fourth place of so.

These days I'd probably be called a "historical nihilist" in China for saying that.

I think “prevent” is too imprecise a term here. The vaccines don’t eliminate the risk of spreading the virus to others. They do materially reduce the risk of spreading the virus to others.
Many wouldn’t be bothered by this - promoting that businesses are paying you to post just tells other businesses that they can do the same. Small time content people on Instagram would likely be excited to show that they are finally in the game.

I have traded content for product ($100-30k travel experiences usually). One thing that makes this ad scenario awkward is that the business would ordinarily pay an agency to create the content. An influencer has replaced that. They are doing work and then showing it off, and often it’s being used by the business going forward.
I agree that what you describe doesn't seem honest. I'm also trying to read between the lines of your words. Is that $50k + $10k per semester? Per year? $10k would have covered 4 years of rent in a lot of places 10 years ago, but only one year of room and board in others. $50k still covers 4 years of tuition in lots of places, but not lots of places "like Stanford".

I'm gonna guess that all your numbers represent a single year. Then I have to ask, they only earned $9000 outside of work study during that period? That seems seriously low for a year. Were they prevented from working during the school year?

Well, nothing. I mean, nothing will happen, because matrix uses strict versioning of protocol and your server "announces" supported protocol versions, so any client will use supported protocol version with your server.

Btw, there are several server implementations of matrix sever, not related to the New Vector/Element.

I think the dual choice quantum eraser experiment basically shows that to have a reasonable understand of quantum mechanics, we have to suspend much of our common belief and intuition about temporal causality, and it's quite clear at this point humans are not good at reasoning about temporal causality, as anybody who has been in a journal club session about relativity or EPR or paxos will know.

The idea of a more efficient compressed encoding seems generally applicable. I imagine just piping through zstd would be an improvement over plain perf record directly to a file, but it sounds like your tool's splitting makes zstd more effective. It'd be handy to be able to just do perf record ... | fancy-recompress > out, and even better to upstream the format improvement into perf itself.

Over the past 88 years, not a single penny of FDIC-insured money has ever been lost in a bank collapse... And when a bank collapses, non-FDIC-insured money also finds a way to not evaporate. The biggest bank bust in history - Washington Mutual, with $300 billion under management collapsed in 2008. Not a penny of its depositor funds, insured or not, were lost.

Meanwhile, in the three years prior to the establishment of the FDIC, over 9000 banks collapsed, collectively losing $140 billion dollars of depositor money.

One of the most important jobs of the federal government is maintaining confidence in the banking sector, because without it, we'd all be living in a Mad Max hellscape, trading bottlecaps for ammunition.
It's fascinating that you say this, because I had only moments before read a conservative bemoaning that the right has so much infighting, unlike the united left. Maybe it's easier to see the division on your own side (if I may make the assumption).

It only has to be enough in certain industries.

Trucking, food production, Oil & Gas, powerplant workers, linemen, water treatment, etc.

In those essential industries, a small percentage of people walking out may wreck havoc on the whole nation. Those are also the same people that I expect are more anti covid vaccine.
I work in security and I test a lot of things in virtual machines.
Ownership stakes - for example if company X owns >10% of company Y, then the regulations for company X could kick in for company Y. There’s some conceptual precedent for reporting requirements of publicly held companies (if you own more than a certain percentage it has to be publicly reported).

The subsidiary fragmentation itself is uninteresting from a regulatory perspective as long as the regulatory environment is carefully crafted to pierce through intentional corporate governance obfuscation.
Sounds like your employer will have an opportunity to find someone who's clearly more competent than you.

Thanks for response! I will definitely read about Turing jumps :)

I'm not sure I understand your 1. Reading the Halting problem undecidability proof, it goes like this:

Suppose machine H can solve the halting problem. We construct special machine M which calls H(M), and negates the output. Then when we run H(M), it halts if M doesn't halt, and doesn't halt if M halts, hence M doesn't exist.

On the other hand, if H could self-modify, we would have a sequence H_0,H_1,... of machines based on its modifications. Ie, M is written with H_i, but later we're calling H_j(M). No guarantee that our negation still works.

The article conflates "IT team" with "infosec" which misses the faulty dynamic. In many organizations the "IT/Ops" team is the one acting on behalf of stakeholders with competing interests. If the CISO and CEO both exert pressure on Ops the CEO will ofcourse have more leverage and force Ops hand. This is just an extra layer of indirection that shields those above from liability. Having Ops act as the arbitrar of these stakeholders is pure theatrics.
They increase the risk of asymptomatic transmission, because vaccines suppress the symptoms of infection, which would otherwise signal the infected person to quarantine. The CDC says this can be addressed by regular testing of the vaccinated, https://archive.is/PW9SP

> The agency now advises that vaccinated people be tested for the virus if they come into contact with someone with Covid-19, even if they have no symptoms... “Our updated guidance recommends vaccinated people get tested upon exposure regardless of symptoms,” Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the agency’s director, said in an email to The New York Times. “Testing is widely available.”
Is Microsoft not already doing that? My much-smaller-than-MS employer has been requiring either (self-attested) vaccination or weekly tests for people voluntarily returning to the office.

Good point. The details are "constraints on a fifth force if one exists", NOT behavior that indicates it does or might.
What evidence does he have of actual transmission? I want to see actual studies with humans with breakthrough infections giving infections to other humans. I'd like to see one contact tracing case where a breakthrough infection was the index patient that spread it to multiple people at a given venue.

I've already posted studies which contradicts the idea that breakthrough infections are equivalent to unvaccinated infections in terms of actual live viral load, which should show up as reduced transmissibility. And the reduction in severity of symptoms with vaccination is highly unlikely to come without a corresponding reduction in transmissibility. What is his scientific data showing that viral loads, symptoms and transmissibility have somehow become completely decoupled?

And we seem to have forgotten that most of the spread of this disease is caused by individual superspreaders. Only 20% of the infections are responsible for 80% of the forward transmission. If vaccines reduce severe transmission the same way they reduce severe disease then they could very well have a disproportional impact on r0.

> It's impossible to reach 100% coverage

The fact that we can't hit 100% coverage doesn't imply that vaccines in the population that we can vaccinate aren't highly effective at reducing transmission.

Also if you're just making an argument by authority, then go watch all the recent TWiV episodes. I don't necessarily agree with Herr Professor Doktor Racaniello about everything (delta really is a lot more transmissible/virulent), but the whole crew there would tend to agree with me, and wants to see the real transmissibility studies with real humans infecting real humans.
if they did their ratings would tank.

but why do that when congress will create a specific mechanism of infinite money creation for you?
I'm not sure I understand the principle here of refusing the vaccine (which does reduce spread, though doesn't make it impossible).

If your employer paid you to come in early or stay late to get the vaccine -- why refuse?
Show HN: Web Accessibility for Shopify with GPT-3
I’m surprised by this comment. Fewer moving parts is great, but having managed a news site, where peak traffic can dwarf typical traffic, I’ve just come to accept the necessary evil of a CDN. How are you managing the spikes?
The comments in this thread prove yet again that economics is a far cry from any science. Nobody really understands why this system of credit actually works as well as it does and even more troubling is what will be it's next iteration given that it's starting to crumble.

Unfortunately for most of us though it appears as though the adage that 'cash is trash' is starting to become a very real problem even in the west and necessitates that all of us transition to holding yield producing assets with risk. In other words, even grandma is an investor (aka gambler) now by force.
This is just outright wrong. Its fallacy is the type of problem you get when skipping math steps on a multi step problem. A bank can’t just credit accounts to get stuff for free. The coffee machine transaction has a missing intermediate deduction from cash reserves.
Ironic to see so many HN people complaining that their Android app missed the hype train but HN is usually where I go to get my daily dose of React hate. If they had used react native they might have released them at the same time.

That's really interesting if it helps people on its own. I really thought it was only by actually bonding with other people during my experiences that I was healed. One of the things I did was tell someone about some of insecurities. Not because I was trying to heal myself, though. I had never even heard of MDMA being used for therapy. It just felt like the right thing to do at the time. After that moment I just realised that these silly things really don't matter. I was able to let them go, so to speak. Maybe I would have been able to let go on my own? But it's hard to imagine spilling those once shameful secrets to someone without help of the drug.
Well, you brought up hospital space availability as the problem, not culpability for spreading it. If we're back to talking about folks spreading it, look at the fact that the vaccine doesn't prevent spread so why are the control freaks in society trying to force this on the rest of us? Sorry, the rest of us are not going along with it just because you think it's a good idea.
Created this throwaway to say that there are at least some others who agree but are too scared of the current cultural tone to speak openly about this. I feel thoroughly alienated from my peer-group and family over their fervor for this response and against any who disagree.

There's an interesting documentary on Netflix called Made You Look that deals with a lot of similar issues to this subthread.

Basically a scammer hired a master forger to create new/"original" paintings in the style of a few abstract expressionists (Rothko, Pollack, Motherwell). They came up with a fake provenance and sold them to a prestigious New York gallery for 25 years, making millions of dollars. The gallery then resold them to rich people for even more money.

They consulted the top experts in the world to authenticate them and no one raised any doubts.

Everyone was happy for a long time until the scam fell apart. They interviewed one of the people who purchased a fake painting and had hung it on her wall for years. She was furious.

As a nice little kicker, one of the attorneys on the case has a bunch of these paintings (which had been sold for millions a piece) hanging in his office.

The thing is that these fractional reserve BTC are indistinguishable from normal BTC. If you receive a payment to your BTC address, you have no way of telling whether these BTC have been created by an exchange. So, to answer your question, yes, Coinbase would accept fractional reserve BTC from Gemini, because they wouldn't know, they would just receive BTC. As long as Gemini has enough BTC reserves to remain solvent, nobody would notice that they have been creating BTC out of thin air.
