That, 2009-2020, real interest rates went all the way to 0, and even negative, in attempts to generate more economic activity. Yet this didn't generate inflation.(The pandemic did, but that's a different effect.) That was quite unexpected.[1]

OpenSSL ABI has been fairly stable within a given series.

Something compiled against 1.1.0a (Sep 2016) has a fair chance of running on a system that has 1.1.0l (Aug 2021). 5 years of binary compatibility is nothing to be sniffed at for a C library.

> I sometimes get the feeling that people are actually envious, sometimes even respectful of the ingenuity it takes to manufacture these schemes.

I think this is an accurate assessment (at least for the US). One of the only logical reasons as to why we as a society allow this is that there are enough individuals that aspire to be these insanely wealthy folks that we make sure that these scenarios remain possible.

Ironically, robbing your country and hiding your cash has become the American dream. For example, if I were to say:

“Aspiring to be like Elon Musk is genuinely the most pathetic way to spend a human life imaginable.

His fortune is built on apartheid and all of the torture and death it entails. Yes, Elon Musk and his family should rightly be judged morally as being active participants in the system that tortured and murdered countless black Africans. The fact that his family (and the money that they extracted from South Africans) left South Africa as soon as segregation started to wane is indicative of this.

He isn’t some sort of hero or genius, or even supervillain. He’s just managed to become what nerds masturbate to when they picture their (nonexistent) futures.

Finally, the wealth that he holds is only his because of his staff figuring out how to avoid paying for your roads, hospitals, schools, parks, research etc. He is only rich because you are not. To want to be like Elon Musk is like wanting to be a tumor attached to a nearly-dead host.”

Here’s what will happen, because this is the internet:

People with <0.00000001% of his net worth will jump in with one of a small handful of responses:

(These are all paraphrased but you never know, some might be verbatim)

1. I bet he actually does pay fair taxes…

2. Actually, I think his family didn’t profit from apartheid because…

3. Because you’ve used emotionally charged language in this post, I’m going to treat everything written here as patently false. While my decision to ignore what you’ve said is entirely based on my emotions, it is your fault for not being nice enough to me/Elon.

4. Fuck you. You owe him respect because [insert business here] has or will save the world someday, or not. It’s up to him. And while I’m not advocating for being afraid of him, in the back of my mind I get anxious about him being displeased every time I see him criticized and the best way to assuage that anxiety is to dunk on a stranger.

5. I don’t think we should use Elon as an example here because he’s such an easy target. The fact that he has so many “haters” is, to me, proof positive that he’s a saint. In fact, since criticizing him makes you a hater and everything haters say is False (as in the Boolean value), no criticism of him is True.

6. Any combination of the above + “I am/know somebody who is a Tesla shareholder, therefore it’s good”

While it might seem that I’ve meandered away from the topic at hand, I haven’t. The weird impulse to defend the uber-wealthy is precisely why we allow billionaires to run amok.
"get rid of software that holds your data hostage" - that can easily take an order of magnitude more money and time to do than implementing a screen scraping solution as an integration workaround.

I've seen my share of software like that. "Getting rid" of it may be a valuable thing in some cases, but it's not something you do "first", it's a strategic decision with an organizational transformation that will definitely take years to suceed and may be fail or be cancelled; it's something you might start but you may as well move on to a different position before it's finished. On the other hand, RPA is something you may actually achieve yourself in a reasonable timeframe.
C++ APIs are made far better by templates (and soon concepts), smart pointers, objects, better type checking, etc, not just RAII. C-style APIs really can't compete, IMO.

It boggles my mind that two companies can own each other cyclically like this, but regardless:

I still don't get the "poof" part. So we're saying C2 is paying C1 for its stock, and I imagine that revenue doesn't count as income for tax purposes since C2 now "owns" part of C1 in return. As I see it, that means C1 is effectively getting a loan from C2, putting part of itself as collateral. It can spend the loan to grow, which is nice, sure. Let's say it does that. Now you're saying C1 performs a stock buyback? Wouldn't that mean it has to pay more for the stocks (since they rose in value)? It'd have to bring that money from somewhere... but where? I mean all it can do at this point is pay back the money it got from C2, but then it's even, right? There's nothing left over after that, it's just repaying a loan as I see/understand it.
That required office time means everyone still needs to live within a short distance of the office though. For a lot of people that defeats some of the main benefits of remote.

In history books, you get a sense sometimes that there were eras in which stuff like this sent people into the streets in rages. In which governments were voted out or overthrown, in which meaningful legislative responses were made. Or, you know, riots.

> But I look around after reading those books and wonder what makes us so different.

Quality of life improvements. Basically, ye olde historical riots yielded immediate and noticeable improvements for the people: rollbacks of food prices (there were a couple of riots over beer price hikes!), shorter workdays, work-free days, workplace safety measures, the likes.

In modern days, outside of affordability of healthcare, systems are so ossified that even a violent revolution won't make much actual change. Just look at BLM - decades of peaceful and finally violent protests and yet, nothing much has materially changed as a result. So why should someone take part in a riot and risk arrest when there is no hope of stuff changing for the better?

Another big factor is decades of anti-union brainwashing. Hard to organize a mass protest when anything even remotely tied to collective organization got branded as communist/anti-patriotic and thus as "bad, avoid it" and that was indoctrinated from school age onwards.

I wondered the same thing about the AirPods Pro Atmos head tracking (which just came out for music, in iOS 15 I think). If you turn your head and leave it there, after about 5 seconds the soundstage will start to move toward your new orientation, and fully recenters in about 10 seconds.
The typical voter didn't take a class in statistics. I know I didn't.

As far as I know, 99.999999..% of the voters are not at the median, so it escapes me why anyone should be concerned with the person in the middle.

Also, what if the number of voters is even? Then there is no median voter, it's just an abstraction.

What is a median in multiple dimensions, anyway? Couldn't it easily be far away from any individual? There was a thing that's probably been on HN multiple times about how virtually nobody is "normal" in, say, five or more characteristics at once.
There are several results called the Riesz representation theorem.

The article is about representing continuous linear functionals on a space of continuous functions as signed measures (or Riemann-Stieltjes integrals). This has lots of applications in ergodic theory or representation theory (e.g. disintegration of measures).

This result is essentially unrelated to the result characterizing continuous linear functionals on Hilbert spaces. It is also much more difficult to prove (the result on Hilbert spaces is rather simple).
No. I am not addressing your point because your point is not logically related to the topic under discussion.

Specifically, your post said:

> DLL Hell was well understood in the mid-90s. I think you need to give him more benefit of the doubt on this point.

The substantive question about whether he adequately addressed the issues with dynamic linking is beside the point. Feel free to agree or disagree with the above poster. Not relevant.

The post I am responding to is about, given ghoward's position that X did not adequately address topic Y, whether it is "giving X the benefit of the doubt" to further assume (a) X did know about topic Y; or (b) X did not know about topic Y.

Because (a) implies dishonesty but (b) merely implies ignorance, "giving X the benefit of the doubt" means you should assume (b) until proven otherwise.

Oh in that case I was more thinking about Uber and the likes. In Tesla case, the only glaring problem is 'autopilot' the rest I have nothing to say.
I recently visited the pipe organ museum in Valley (Bavaria, Germany), where they did something similar: connect an organ console (which had been replaced with a newer one) to a PC to recreate the original sound of the organ (http://www.lampl-orgelzentrum.com/St.Lorenz_Zentralspieltisc...) - however this was done using samples. While reading that, I wondered if it would be possible to get the same (or maybe an even better) result by emulating the pipes...
Indeed. I've seen some companies say they want people back in 100% of the time but I've seen others close their office and have all their employees work remotely 100% of the time. I feel both are toxic policies to place on your entire workforce and the best approach is flexibility because different employees will have different preferences and needs.

Thankfully there are a good number of companies (in the UK at least) who are allowing their employees to make this decision themselves.

It's very hard for me to imagine a world in which scramjet technology is both useful for commercial travel, and impossible to develop without massive government funding. It seems to me like technology needs to reach a point that it can be developed entirely commercially before it can be made safely and consistently enough enough for commercial passengers.

Take rockets for instance. Technology had to catch up to make them commercially viable to develop before they were commercially viable to operate.

This is without a doubt about Blue Origin's call to return to office.
It is technically tax avoidance. Tax evasion = not paying taxes you legally owe, is a crime. Tax avoidance = using legal means to reduce the amount of tax you owe, not a crime (by definition).

This is why I support taxes such as those that France levies on digital revenue originating within their country. I also think it makes sense to wholly eliminate corporation taxes (which are not only avoidable, but are a form of double taxation) and replace them with these revenue taxes.

I think a lot of people hadn't seriously considered the option of working from home before. Now that a lot more people have done so, they are starting to weigh the pros and cons as the parent comment is doing.
I have experience with a company that went 'ROW' back in the 10s. If a majority of your company is remote, you can forget about the office, its a dead space. There's no water cooler talk, no games after work. I can see why some companies are going to try the hybrid model.

I do agree with the GP, there is something about the separation between work and living. I miss the feeling that when I did work from home "after hours", it was for special cases, rather than the "same old".

> "Parisians have heeded the call: A million people in a metropolis of 10 million are now pedaling daily. And Paris now ranks among the world’s top 10 cycling cities."

This is pretty awesome. I had no idea that Paris has become so bike-centric since I last was there (which was probably more than 6 years ago). It sounds fantastic.

Weird that the article tries to put such a negative spin on it. Of course, the people and the city need to learn how to handle this, figure out what traffic arrangements work best, enforce laws and maybe fine bikers who run red lights and ignore zebras, but it's not like Paris traffic wasn't already anarchy before.

Instead of looking at Copenhagen, perhaps they should look at Amsterdam, which is also a very bike-oriented city with a strong and old bicycle culture, but also a strong anarchistic streak and lots of cyclists who flaunt the rules. Lots of people complain about it, but most of the time it actually works fine. (I stick strictly to the rules nowadays because I want to set a good example to my children, but that was very different when I was a student.)

From growth. Remember, half the point of these havens is to shelter money from being taxable. Nothing else matters. You move it over there for favorable treatment. Company 2 received back money from Company 1 that they invested in, so it's off Company 1's books virtually, but not in reality.

This is the hell created by multi-jurisdictional legal fictions. Short of a multi-national crackdown, being able to nail down the vagueries a bunch of well compensated international accounting firms and lawyers can get up to is unlikely at best.
Beware of abusive relationships.
I bet it isn't always the case too, right? I actually wanted to say that the fact of owning a foreign corp doesn't mean anything. It may be used to avoid some taxes, or may not.

I can even give opposite examples, like when someone comes to the US to run a startup in California. For the country of their origin they definitely opened an offshore corp (in the US in this case) and don't pay taxes on it (they still pay to the US gov though). It's just more convenient to have a US corp rather that a corp in their home country, and not because of taxes which may be higher in the US.

Airplane crashes will continue as long as people use air travel, which is unlikely to ever change. The best we can do to prevent airplane crashes would be to build in enough security in airplanes so that enough amount of systems has to fail before a crash can occur, including eliminating human failure and cascading failures.

Oil spills will also continue as long we extract oil from the bottom of the ocean (and to a degree land). In contrast to airplanes however, we should have a future where we stop extracting it from the earth. In order prevent climate change we need to stop today, and every day we continue to pump it up we are stepping further into catastrophe.

We can have a future were electric planes flies in the sky. We can't have a future were we continue pumping up more oil. The oil need to stay where it is.

I've been thinking about this and perhaps the most appropriate solution is to not have onsite companies vs remote companies, and also not companies with a random mix of the both; but having a company consist of onsite teams and remote work teams - so both preferences can work well, but you can optimize the day-to-day work process (which usually happens within a team) to the very different needs of in-office vs work-from-home environment.
These days politics in the US is a ship without a captain visionary where two highly antagonistic teams of sailors fight for the right to steer the wheel, and when a sailor of one team gets to grab the wheel, he promptly appoints his cronies on all important posts, while the other team barricades the kitchen and sabotages whatever the first team tries to do. As you might expect, the ship's trajectory is rather unpredictable and it's a miracle it's staying afloat at all.

Stopped reading right there. I'm not even American and I know this has been debunked long time ago. There was only one person shot by capitol police who died as direct consequence of the storming. Some other people died because of self-inflicted body harm (overdosing for example) or entirely unrelated health issues.

Sure. And one of the cons of working from home may be lower pay/increased competition. So if they are told to go back to the office and they don't want to they may need to put a price on it.

My view on the problem with politics today is that people have started to view it as sport, not selecting competent people to represent you for law making. I call it Political Face Painting. Like the guy who paints his face the colors of his favorite team when s/he goes to the game. That's cool, if you want to paint your face to go to a ball game, drink beer and scream your head off, great, no problem. But it seems like that mentality has crept into politics where you now have people paint their face red or blue and view it as a competition between parties. That will not end well in my view.
