The issue is I suppose, what can a Fed chairman invest his/her personal money in that absolves him/her of a conflict of interest?

The fed's policies affect every area of the financial system. Can't put it in a bank because they'll almost certainly be above the insured amount and will have an incentive to bail out that bank if it's in trouble, another conflict of interest.

Perhaps some special account at the fed that pays a specific interest rate and is fully insured? But then why do Fed presidents get special access to such an account that normal folks don't?

I don't know that there is anywhere he could put his money and be above reproach, him putting his money in muni's seems like a good faith effort to do that though.

What does “rigged” mean?
There is something important hiding in your comment. In a fee market, someone would stand up and provide a modern fork of windows 2000. As this is not happening, the OS market is not free. I suppose it's an oligopoly or monopoly at this point.

So what went wrong? Complicated question, I see multiple partial answers.

* part of governement's job is safeguarding and restoring free markets. Clearly they failed here.

* part of it is a natural monopoly. No source code means a lot harder support.

* part of it is the copyright monopoly, making a free market basically illegal. There must be some mechanism for protecting creators, but the balance is lost if copyright forbids, e.g. duplication of goods no longer sold

* part of it is a failure in standardisation. POSIX is hopelessly incomplete for a modern os, and microsoft ignored it in favor of its own API's (minus some subsystem lip qervice).

* part of it is also the 'free' culture (beer, not speach). Someone has to pay for development, and gratis software, os delivered with PC, and piracy make it very hard to make money, especially for a consumer OS. Linux has a perpetual shoe string budget. BEOS had a good try with a better product but ultimately failed. OSX is an interesting case study, but it's not clear what to learn from it.

There are probably more answers.
>ascended from that brainwashed nation

Are you sure that you aren't the brainwashed one?
It's published in nature, you can be sure it's pretty serious.

That doesn't mean it 100% establishes a causal relationship. Generally science is more nuanced and it's best not to negate its findings with the 'correlation is not causation' trope.

That is something I guess everyone learns in their first year at university, you can assume peer reviewed scientific work is created by people who got the memo.
The problem is the sampling.

If you select a sample of observations matching your criteria, and then do a factors analysis of them, you're effectively committing the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy (another way of describing survivorship bias).

If instead you were to randomly select from a cohort of individuals and track their career trajectories, then you'd be looking at what factors contribute most to success.

I suspect the latter might be rather more strongly weighted to the generally-recommended career advice of good school + business degree + management-track positions early in career, though of course, that's precisely the hypothesis that you're trying to establish.

Point being that there are a lot more people who graduate from the School of Hard Knocks and advance through smaller firms (of which there are far more than there are top-school graduates).

Then you get to address questions such as whether or not school actually is determinative in careers, or is merely selecting for those destined to succeed regardless. (There was an interesting incidental study done based on NYC magnet school examination cutoffs, which are quite arbitrary, and for which there's significant evidence that those at least immediately bordering the selection criteria (and possibly more broadly) have roughly equivalent career / earnings trajectories).

Among the few interesting elements in the HBS "study" is the possible role of high-risk gambles in career advancement. That also ultimately points to survivorship bias (it excludes those who took such gambles and lost), though there's the prospect of multiple-iteration games as well. So long as the upside gain (CEO-track) is high, and the downside loss (failed that advancement attempt, but no penalty) is low, there's little harm in making such attempts.

If, however, failed attempts are read as a flag against future consideration, the calculus changes remarkably. This is typical of many "up or out" advancement policies.

> So the increase of money supply, taken as a measure by itself, is a meaningless number.

The M2 money supply has been diluted by 40% over the past year. The population has not meaningfully changed over the past year. Official inflation is running at 5.6% (almost 3x the target) and un-official measures range from 12-20%.

All other things being equal inflating the money supply absolutely has a disproportionate effect on inflation.

TLDR; dust clogging the fans causes overheating of processors.

I went through this pain for months especially when video codecs were in use for conferences. It just kept getting worse.

Turned out that the machine was been throttled due to overheating. The root cause was dust in the fans.

A jet air cleaning of the fans fixed the issue. It was like night and day difference.
I would bet that the amount of people that need to be scraped off the pavement would be much less than a third.

The kind of explosives you would normally use for this are not difficult to handle or deploy, anyone with access to google can figure it out.

Isn't it ironic that there's a concern over this, while completely new drugs, the mRNA vaccines, already shown to have by far the highest reported serious adverse effects of any other vaccine, are blithely recommended to pregnant women by the CDC? For something encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles that almost certainly cross the placental barrier and into rapidly dividing fetal cells, causing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to be expressed on their surface? Such a recommendation is a gigantic crime.

Words are also symbols. When you say it’s defined somewhere means it’s defined in natural language somewhere. Things ultimately get defined in natural language and it’s unavoidable. You cannot take a kid and shower him with symbols and expect him to understand. One needs examples that elucidate the situation and pointers to understand the factors under analysis. You need to write down assumptions like “frictionless surface” or “isolated system”. Sure you can rigoursly try to define them too but eventually they’ll still be defined in terms of other words and sentences which are inherently ambiguous. Euclid’s theorems used an axiom that wasn’t known until 18th century. It’s not due to lack of rigour. It’s due to leaky abstractions.

I’m not arguing for no symbols. Surely the quantity of symbols used is less in Physics relative to math or geometry relative to algebra. Just like a well written physics textbook, there is a middle ground between verbose description and symbolic manipulation. They both have their place and neither can substitute one another.

You have a middle school interpretation of science. Things may seem rigours to you because it’s written in a language that’s a lot more precise than the day to day language we use. That doesn’t mean they are ultimately precise. Even mathematics hasn’t been automated or formalised in a computer. That’s not due to lack of trying. It’s insanely hard to precisely codify mathematical concepts. So imagine, when math and geometry are hard to formalise, how hard physics would be. All fields or models of reality are precise in answering the questions they consider. But they sweep hide swaths of ambiguity under the rug even before the proposing the first formal statement. That is what you need to realise.

> I am also migrating my last C++/WinRT endeavour into Qt LTS 6.2, ironically so, as it was originally started on Qt 5.0. :)

yeah, every time I started a project on a non-Qt stack I always ended up porting it to Qt at some point later. Recently started an Android/Kotlin thing and it's so much more complicated than Qt with so many randomly moving under-engineered parts (android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 ? come on...) that I feel it's definitely going to go that way too.
When I see these “xx pounds of garbage per day” figures, I always wonder if it includes everything that went into producing my garbage, or just what’s in my garbage can. For example, when I throw out a pair of jeans, does this “xx pounds” figure include the fabric that the jeans manufacturer wasted.

Point being, given the enormous amount of raw materials it takes to make a phone, and the environmental damage that comes from extracting them, I wonder if it’s a good idea to be cavalier and see it as a “rounding error.”

I Nearly Set My House on Fire Trying the Lightning Mushroom from ‘Ratatouille’
We're not seeing empty shelves in supermarkets just yet, groceries are still available, because most places have reasonably local production available.

But electronics, cars, machinery, the kinds of things that are produced more centrally in just one part of the world are facing shortages. It's a small thing, but there was a 3 week wait on the access point I bought recently, where in normal times that would have been a day-to-day delivery. The mechanical keyboard I was looking to buy took a full year to get back in stock before I could order it.

These are of course small things, luxuries in the grand scope of life. But industries are facing component shortages that are going to last for years.
Detroit invented both the assembly line and also related mfg. process efficiency.

(In WW2, Detroit made weapons 3x or more cheaply than the Germans, who clung to individual craftsmanship. For example, if you watch period films, you can see Detroit machining several parts in parallel. They also redesigned all the sample parts provided by the military with cheaper materials and less parts or machining.)

Kaiser pioneered modular construction of ships in WW2, making a new Liberty cargo ship every few hours and a new aircraft carrier weekly (!), totalling 120 carriers by he end of the war. Britain thought he wouldn't even finish one. (His first shipyard was in SF Bay.)

Toyota adopted mfg. ideas from Deming, but obviously he influenced companies before then. Ironically, it was Detroit that got leap-frogged.

It should be interesting as Japanese companies move en masse from China to other countries in the region. The CCP is pushing them out to recover land, especially in port areas, and they blocked capital outflows in 2016, meaning foreign investment is a one-way trip.
How to Manage Authentication and State in Your End-to-End Tests with Playwright
> am worried my generation won't live as long as my grandparents' on average.

I worry more that my generation will work longer in order to have a drawn out period of ill health before death.

I want to maximise Quality Adjusted Life Years. I am as yet unsure on how to compare a working year to a retired one in that metric.

eg. Work to 60, retire, die at 75 after a short illness sounds far better to me than work to 70, die at 90 after 10 years of illness and being in care.

Maybe come age 60 I will have a different view!

Eventually I wanted to make larger projects, so I was inspired to make my own engine, for when you want to transcend its limitations.

If you've spent time in the community you'll see different types of equally interesting projects. Lots of games that are able to provide you a fair amount of entertainment or some that really push the limits of what you'd _think_ is possible. The constraints really help you with scope creep as well as you have to decide what's important to the game.

There are, like the Xiaomi Mi Flora sensor (I think) or something like April Brother soil moisture sensor.

I have given up on those though because they're to expensive to put in every pot, and if they're not in every pot then I might as well manually check all the pots.
the two prong ones are resistive, and the exposed metal does indeed corrode quite quickly when in use.

there's also a single-prong capacitive type, only very marginally more expensive, with all metal parts covered in plastic film, which can sit in the soil indefinitely.

> Global warming is going to open up the northwest passage and the arctic trade routes which would cut shipping times by a huge percentage from asia to europe. It would be the greatest boon to world trade in human history.

Climate change is going to cause droughts and starvation for millions and millions of people, who are either going to die or desperately seek to migrate to the parts of the world that are less inhospitable.

An increase in potential global trade is a drop in the ocean against the instability that large scale climate migrations are going to cause, especially considering how hostile our governments and media have acted against immigrants for decades.

Playing with constraints is always fun, and Pico8 makes it even funnier!

Here are my experiments and games from a couple of years ago: https://diegofg.com/projects/pico8/
> Functional languages are composed of functions that take some input and produce some output. Every time a function is executed with a given input, it will return the same output.

I think this is not true. If it was this way, there would be no way to read data from an API. read('https://news.ycombinator.com') will not return the same output everytime.

And it would not be possible to keep track of anything. No counting, no transformation of data, nothing.

Googling a bit indicates that people use a mental trick and define the state part of the input of the function. So in terms of getUrl() the current state of the internet is part of the input of the function. And when counting something, the function gets the old sum as the input and outputs the new sum which gets stored in a different place than the old sum so the old sum "did not change".

I see a lot of overhead coming from these mental gymnastics with no benefit. Any short example that shows a benefit?

Ideas for Software That People Would Use
The x86-64 patents also expired last year, so it's not only a general computing architecture, but a free as in freedom one too. It's also the architecture everyone uses for pretty much everything. Developers are finally free and united in the language we use to encode computer programs. But how long will this Tower of Babel be permitted to stand? Writing code for things other than x86-64 (e.g. GPUs, DSP/ML chips, phones, Apple SDKs) usually require entering into a legal agreement or obtaining some kind of authorization. History won't move backwards once the platforms we've fought hard to learn and use have finally opened up, just because Google and Apple want to save battery on their laptops.
> To be absolutely clear, the maximum recommended dose is 4000mg over 24 hours. That’s eight extra strength pills.

It's also included as a secondary ingredient in a lot of other medicines, which makes it easy to take more than you thought. Additionally, other common drugs (like alcohol) use the same metabolic pathways, so they can dramatically lower the safe limit for acetaminophen.

When you look at the rate of death and serious injury due to overdose, acetaminophen comes out very badly. The only medicines that kill more are opioids.
I disagree. Acetaminophen use is incredibly widespread yet few end up in liver failure.

Without acetaminophen your only option for pain relief without going to much stronger drugs would be the NSAIDS like aspirin or ibuprofen.

While not toxic to your liver, if you take them often enough you’ll end up with GI bleeding pretty reliably.
