You point out two aspects which confuse noob me.

I associate crashes with bubbles. Because economies are complex adaptive systems (butterfly effect), crashes are inevitable. Knowing this, policy makers do what they can to minimize bubbles, soften crashes. For which their is tremendous pushback (no good dead goes unpunished).

Some of the kibitzing wrt MMT is the distinction between inflation and interest rates. I gather that the anti-Keynesian rhetoric has traditionally focused on inflation (and deficits), and the MMT advocates are arguing that model is too narrow. I have no idea what all that means.
What you are describing is religion, not science.

"One Facebook researcher said a colleague was contacted by the legal team in the past week and was asked about a research report that he published more than two years ago. The legal team appeared to be hunting for any potentially incriminating research that might be shared with reporters, he said.

His manager had advised him not to run any queries searching for specific terms on his old work or do anything that could appear suspicious, he said.

Now, he said he was told, was a good time to take a vacation."

KRunner in KDE 5 (default shortcut: Alt+F2, but also replicated at the bottom of the start menu) does that. The modules for different purposes (like running applications/shell commands, searching browser tabs/history/bookmarks, searching files/emails/contacts, openstreetmap, etc.) are pluggable and can be easily disabled if the functionality is not desired by the user.

Other materials are mildly better and not too scarce. Tesla is moving some of it's production to LFP, but that's probably mostly because they want to scale up production faster than nickel mining can scale.
> Python was already well known as a "scripting" and server-side web development language in the early 2000s, but it's commonly mentioned that it really exploded in the 2010s, where it was the implementation language for several scientific packages, most notably the machine learning eco system.

That's...somewhat misleading. Python was well known for its scientific stack as well as server-side web development and scripting from the early 2000s (or earlier; NumPy, under its original name of Numeric, was released in 1996, BioPython in 2000, matplotlib on 2003, etc.).

In the 2010s, it became known for its machine learning stack, which was built on top of the existing, already solidly established, scientific stack.

With apologies in advance, because you probably have already done this...

Just count: 1 2 3 4 along with the pulse. First you hear the audience clap on 1 and 3, then some instrumental magic, and the audience is clapping on 2 and 4.

Is it possible that you are not hearing where the 1 begins? That can happen to the most experienced musicians sitting in on a complicated session and groaning "Where's the 'one' at, dude?"

The trick for you might be to become adept at locating the '1' beat. Start with toy problems, like children's rhymes, or even counting to four rhythmically.

Maybe your brain just doesn't work that way, as you have stated above, in which case you have an advantage over me in being aware of a perceptual lacuna and having a good analytical understanding of it.

Key takeaways from the fourth week of the Elizabeth Holmes trial
If the trees succeed in taking root, they could soak up large amounts of groundwater, which would be extremely problematic for arid regions like northern China.[8] Research of reforested areas of the loess plateau has found that the planted vegetation used decreased the moisture from deeper soil levels to some degree compared to farmland.[12]

Land erosion and overfarming have halted planting in many areas of the project. China's increasing levels of pollution have also weakened the soil, causing it to be unusable in many areas.[6]

Furthermore, planting blocks of fast-growing trees reduces the biodiversity of forested areas, creating areas that are not suitable to plants and animals normally found in forests. "China plants more trees than the rest of the world combined", says John McKinnon, the head of the EU-China Biodiversity Programme. "But the trouble is they tend to be monoculture plantations. They are not places where birds want to live." The lack of diversity also makes the trees more susceptible to disease, as in 2000, when one billion poplar trees in Ningxia were lost to a single disease, setting back 20 years of planting efforts.[13]

Liu Tuo, head of the desertification control office in the state forestry administration, is of the opinion that there are huge gaps in the country's efforts to reclaim the land that has become desert.[14] In 2011, there was around 1.73 million km2 of land that had become desert in China, of which 530,000 km2 was treatable. But at the present rate of treating 1,717 km2 per year, it would take 300 years to reclaim the land that has become desert.[15]

The worry is that the fragile land cannot support such massive, forced growth.[8]

Planting trees next to the desert is senseless if the average rainfall and/or the underground aquifers cannot support the vegetation

Solutions like that are described in great details in a book False Alarm. It was the first book about climate change (for me) that demonstrated how one can agree with the idea of changing climate, yet approach the problem with a level head and practical solutions. Can't recommend highly enough.
> if your definition of "mediocre" is "from a non-top-20 school", that definition is absurd.

My guess is that they are talking about a program that is Top-20 in a particular field, or even large sub-field, rather than the overall university ranking. This can be quite different than an overall ranking. For example, SUNY Stonebrook and University of Minnesota are powerhouses in topology and combinatorics, respectively, but certainly not amongst the most prestegious in other fields.

With the qualifier of "within a a field", this comment is far from absurd. The exact cut-off, of course, differs from field to field. In Near Eastern Languages, don't waste your time outside the Top-3. In CS, even graduates from programs in the Top-50 have a chance a faculty job.
Looks fantastic. Thanks.

I use both products daily and while Snap is not immune from similar effects it seems to be designed to reduce the problems that IG is facing (body issues, viral misinformation). No one can see how popular you are or aren't unless you choose to reveal it and there's less focus on every post being 'perfect'. It's closer to iMessage on the communications apps spectrum.
Seems like a difference in medium: physical vs. digital. One is more constrained than the other.
i didnt speak about taking legal action but at least creating some societal resistance to its manipulative nature. FB is primarily a manipulation tool because it shapes and gamifies the way any kind of information is delivered, from baby pics to shopping and politics. Its social mechanics is a form of drug, yet people normally dont give drugs to their kids, and they prevent them from many addictive behaviors. In any case, kids will grow up and look back to that treadmill as silly. But i keep wondering what do all those people who work for facebook think they are doing
Seems to me that there is essentially no evidence that following any given course of study materially increases your likelihood of being a successful author. Neither creative writing courses nor the humanities courses you advocate are known to help with that outcome.

Yeah, what this article doesn’t talk about is the pretend-FBI that Facebook employs as its security team. They go out of their way to intimidate employees and make them think that Facebook is some quasi-governmental institution where leaks will have you end up in a situation similar to Julian Assange.

It’s not similar, because it doesn’t even tell you where to put the finger of your choice in a guitar, whereas that is uniquely specified on a piano. Of course, on top of that, you also have a wide range of ways to modify how you play on a guitar.
It's impractical to demand both domain expertise and total impartiality - even academic researchers have strong proclivities. There are no neutral parties, and this is clearly labeled as one person's opinion.

Seems to me the most critical flaw is that you have to be online to receive funds, unless the sender is directly connected to you instead of hopping through intermediaries. This is inherent to the way the whole idea works[1].

Your only options are to either keep a lightning node online yourself, or to trust another node to custody your funds. At scale I think most people would do the latter, which sorta breaks the whole point of "p2p digital cash."

For the record, I originally made this throwaway to criticize the CCP’s oppression of Hong Kong (hence “hk”). 8 is a lucky number in Chinese.

As for throwaways, maybe look at the fact that any questioning of the currently predominant racism leads to accusations of nazism, and see if that explains why people might want to make their objections anonymously.

It falls in an awkward place.

It is dominated on the server because Java, C#, Elixir, Erlang have a concurrency and parallelism story and node doesn’t.

For most scripting work it is hard to beat Python even if Python is slow.

Sometimes I think compiler and tools writing for node might be fun (boy the world needs an ISO common logic implementation that isn’t hets and Haskell) but compiler and tools writing in Java is fun too, particularly in JDK 16. (Think ‘Haskell the good parts’.)
Racism was wrong, so we must be racist.

> My partner is Hungarian and they put an emphasis on rigorous education across the board that we (in the UK or at least my part of it) don't.

I wonder if this is an Austro-Hungary effect or a central Europe thing. Every country I know of that follows the German education system is considered to “put an emphasis on rigorous education across the board”.

Whenever we compare notes from my Slovenian schooling with American friends it seems like the US education system is a joke by comparison.

Although in official rankings we score lower so who knows. Maybe I just got lucky

This is different from what we have seen before.

This is an Emergent system operating at population scale, at speeds we haven't experienced before, where no one can tell you, including FB, what might emerge out the system tomorrow morning.

This is very different from political corrruption or big oil/mil complex/wall st etc playing games. Their games dont run this fast.
Its a fad that has changed periodically, though I think the convergence of static and dynamically typed languages to include dynamic holes in the former and gradual typing or optional static typecheckers for the latter will continue to reduce the significance of the current state of the fad on language selection in practice.

It probably won't reduce the intensity of the way a small minority of the community treats the language-level difference in holy wars, though.
I feel like advertising was always a scam.

I don't think it really helps the small entities reach an audience, and it only allows the largest companies to remind everyone they are the biggest.

I'm not sure there are thorough studies that show advertising increase sales.
As a classical guitarist, western notation is not particularly good at expressing the music our own culture. The high open E string can be and is regularly played on the other 5 strings too, potentially at the same time! Natural and artificial harmonics, which string to play on and which fingers to use, and all sorts of right hand notation all feel very much bolted on cluttering the actual score. The continual coming and going of voices due to technical limitations means that music has to be experimentally decoded with much backtracking.

> but the improvement in urban living is going to be undeniable.

When the pandemic arrived here back in March 2020, and nearly everyone suddenly stopped leaving their home, it was eerie: the air where I live (in the middle of a major urban area) suddenly smelled as if I was in a rural area. It was something I wasn't expecting to see so soon; I have for a long time been rooting for EVs to arrive and make the air quality better, but unfortunately EVs are simply way too expensive yet (so far, I only have seen an EV once, and it was an i3 with a range extender; and I do live in a major metropolitan area).
Only if you believe the phony math.
I don't like Facebook or Instagram either. (I have a Facebook account that's used for one thing -- college and high-school reunion information. I have added no friends that aren't part of these groups. I'm 58 years old.)

But when I see this:

> , including teenage girls saying that Instagram made them feel worse about themselves.

...I wonder if we really can blame Instagram for this. It's like the old joke "Doctor -- it hurts when I do this."

And I'll even go further to say sometimes a little "competition" is healthy. Maybe seeing a friend who is more athletic or fit than you, or has a better sense of style will inspire you to up your game. If your reaction is to "feel bad about yourself" may its your problem. Are we blaming Instagram for bad parenting?

(I do think an Instagram service specifically for children is a terrible idea.)

Probably my favorite example of non-standard guitar tuning is the way Luca Stricagnoli tunes his guitar in his Sweet Child O' Mine cover[1]. He starts with a capo covering half the strings on fret 3, and a SpiderCapo on fret 1, with a spare capo. At 3:45 or so he removes the half capo, and puts the spare capo onto fret 2, transitioning from Major to Minor key.

There's also the idle engine rumbling noise while waiting at stoplights, which does not exist on electric cars.
With the word itself? Nothing, really. With the ideology which traditionally uses it? Plenty. The same goes for that black fist they're using, in itself it is but an image but it happens to be the image which has been used and continues to be used by the same ideology which is known for using the word 'comrade'.

The better question to ask is what went wrong in the education departments which did not only fail to teach the lessons of failed Marxism-inspired ideologies but actively promotes them, leading to a remarkable resurgence of what was written of as terminally wounded after the fall of the Soviet Union - socialism and communism. They failed to teach history of communism and socialism in its many guises, the bloody trail it has left behind and continues to produce and the untold number of lives lost to these ideologies. Instead, they just hitched a ride on the revolutionary bandwagon which got started in 1968, promoting the virtues of yet another Marxism-inspired ideology - critical theory. They managed to lower the academic standards, especially among those groups in society who they claim to want to protect. Instead of teaching students the basic tenets of their disciplines they taught them the ever-changing strictures of their ideologies.

What happened is that a student of this system ended up working for the Internet Archive and thought the symbolism employed by Stalin and Mao would be just the thing to use to promote the essence of western liberalism: freedom of thought and freedom of expression. She probably never realised the contradiction between what she thought this symbolism represents versus what is has represented in the past.
i m not talking about looking down, this isnt teenagers being edgy. Narcissism is something most people can easily recognize and it s generally considered unhealthy. Parents usually dont feed their children unhealthy stuff, addictive drugs or habits. Same way maybe they should stop being dazzled by technology and reconsider what is happening. If you suggest that compulsive narcissism is a harmless thing, maybe it is, but what s the definition of harm here.

I also dont think that "doesn't cause her to kill herself" is the criterion that people use to decide what's appropriate for their kids. Unless you think that parenting is reduntant
