not sure that explains why saudia basically halved oil production in 2019 or north sea oil peaking in 2004 and now all but at zero production.

> inflation / stagflation weren't the natural result of everyone trying to get ahead and increasing just their own wage.

Inflation / stagflation are the result of supply&demand forces just like everything else in an economy. Inflation happens when the supply of money increases faster than the value it represents.

Guess what has been happening with the supply of money when the government prints trillions of dollars to rain down on the economy. All that cash sloshing around just devalues the dollar, and hence prices rise.
Agree, and would propose increased property taxes for amount of time a property is empty, I think this would increase liquidity in rental markets.

I still confused about your point. The segment optimization reduces the number of nodes being iterated over, but doesn't change much else.

A fully compacted belt can move in Factorio, but only when Factorio knows it can output into an open belt. You can have a whole chain of fully compacted belts move, so long as the last segment has an opening. This is handled just like the first algorithm in OP - moving one segment per iteration like a big caterpillar walking.

A loop is just a segment that outputs into its own input - it has a seam. Factorio can't move the belt because it doesn't see an open space. But one could still use the second algorithm, marking segments as immobile rather than tiles. This allows the loop to work without jamming, even with the optimization.

> So building more doesn't necessarily mean more houses for people to live in.

Of course it does. I know that some people buy homes and let them sit vacant, but that's a transitory state. A home has no value if it is not being used. To realize its value, it must be sold to someone who will live in it.

Hi, I co-admin an MDM. Yes, it's a huge privacy issue.

You should not have any personal stuff on a work computer, let alone a work computer with MDM.

Even if we aren't purposely gathering everything (and I mean everything) for an investigation, we often accidentally run into some pretty embarrassing personal stuff by accident.

Don't do it. If not for your own privacy, for your MDM administrator.

Ask HN: Did y'all change how words wrap?
A few days ago someone posted a link to a really long constant in the Apple developer documentation, and it messed up the formatting because the title was just a really long word.

Now I am seeing titles wrap at the character level, so words are split across multiple lines.

Is this change intentional? Is it going to be permanent?
I think it is possible that to be running so close to boundary conditions that a sudden shock to the system can catalyze outsize changes. Not necessarily $2k, but a confluence of factors, especially if they have knock on effects that compound.

Labor in the US has been losing ground for decades, I always wondered how long the situation was tenable.
How many checks and how much low interest debt, how many tax breaks and increased social care spending? All of it feeds in.

In one of the articles, it shows SBCL performance does not increase by first compiling it to a binary executable. Compilation overhead in SBCL is therefore negligible.
My point is that you need to understand Monads to use Haskell/Lean/Idris/Coq for anything practical. Because those languages are pure. You don’t have to understand monads to use non-functional languages. In the same way that you don’t have to understand Category Theory to use Haskell. So when I say you don’t use monads in non-functional languages that is exactly what I mean. In the same way that you don’t use Turing Machines in any programming language even though it “is” a Turing Machine underneath.
I'd say we can't do anything about it because the one with the power to do something about it are more worried about the thousands of other frivolous social policies (BOTH SIDES) for show while they pad their pockets with lobbying money and benefits.

> NFT people do not claim that non-fungible means "you cannot mint two tokens representing the same thing".

What NFT people do is argue that the uniqueness of individual tokens matters. It doesn't. They try to have their cake and eat it too, they try to argue that the NFT's link to the individual artwork doesn't matter when evaluating the technology, but that it does matter when trying to determine whether or not NFTs have value.

There are two ideas being conflated here about fungibility. If you want to argue that NFTs actually represent an artwork in some way, and that owning an NFT is somewhat similar to owning a piece of art or that it carries some meaningful connection to that artwork, then for all practical purposes NFTs are fungible resources. The attributes of an NFT that link it to an artwork are not guaranteed to be unique.

If you want to argue that the part of an NFT that matters is the individual token itself, then sure, they're non-fungible. But if that's all we care about then they're also worthless, because nobody cares about owning serial numbers, they care about owning a token that meaningfully points towards a socially or personally valuable item. They care about the thing that the token represents.

The only reason why one NFT is worth more than another is because of who issued it and what it's linked to. So to argue that the individual token's uniqueness is the only thing that matters is to reject the entire relationship between NFTs and artwork.

I brought this up elsewhere, but if I pull a $20 bill out of my pocket, it will have a unique serial number on it that corresponds to only that bill, and no other bill. So technically, by your criteria, a $20 bill is just as non-fungible as an NFT. It's technically unique in the same way that an NFT is.

But what I'm getting at with that comparison is that it's not enough to have each NFT be technically unique. They have to be unique in a way that matters, they have to be unique in a way that somebody would care about. Otherwise you might as well just collect $20 bills. Back to my original point, if the only thing that NFTs are providing is that the token itself is unique, that's not an improvement over any of our existing systems. You can already issue unique tokens without bringing NFTs into the equation, issuing a unique token is easy.

Government regulation (again) exacerbates this problem. In Seattle, landlords have to give 6 months notice for rent increases. They also are obliged to pay the tenant's relocation costs when the tenant leaves. They can't evict tenants who don't pay rent. Seattle will provide free lawyers to tenants who want to sue their landlords.

So, yeah, if the real estate market is rising fast enough, it's best to not rent it.
Real estate can be a store of value. It needs to be sold to liquidate the money tied up in it, but that could be years in the future. Having it sit empty until then doesn't stop the investment from working.
Hey dang!

Did you change the css to break-word to handle this post on mobile?

I noticed that a large number of posts have words in their titles broken in half at the end, and it’s a tad irksome.

Do you think you could change it back? Long worded post titles break the page sometimes, but break-word messes with a number of titles all the time.

Qualia is the ability to experience for example the color red. Or the color blue. An exercise… The universe is interesting, it contains some fields, some particles, some quarks, protons, electrons, photons. Some places don’t have light and others do have light. The universe is even more interesting by the fact that it also contains experience. For some reason we see colors. It is absolutely true. Another thing that we experience is thoughts. They are all different allocations/structures of attention, but they are undeniable parts of the universe.

Isn't that considered a good thing?
I have an electric guitar with 5 strings tuned fifths (C G D A E), and a tenor guitar with 4 strings in fifths (currently D A E B). I've been mucking around with both for a few years.

Conceptually, they're nice. You get a great set of movable bar shapes, giving you spread chords with the first, fifth, and easy access to a 9th (2nd), minor third, major third, or 4th (11th). So it's super easy to get the common chord "colors" (sus2, maj, min, sus4).

Similarly, you can add the next string to get a maj 6th, min 7th, and maj 7th with a 4 string movable chord. However, it all sounds a little thin if you're playing in an acoustic style. Bar chords in standard guitar tuning sound better to my ear, so I'm not sure I believe any of the responses talking about better overtones. Maybe that's different with a violin and the music that's played, dunno. If it was overtones, why wouldn't the "double bass" violins use it?

Even with the shorter length of the tenor guitar (23 inches), playing diatonic scales is unpleasant. My pinky finger feels week when it has to stretch that distance for 4 notes per string. And I really don't like the stretched out (three notes per string) pentatonics. Because of this, I think the answer to the link above really is about the scale size and ergonomics.

I'll probably leave the tenor guitar alone (it's a novelty for me anyways), but I'm thinking I'll switch to CGDGBE or go back to Drop D on the electric guitar. All fifths just isn't that enjoyable for me.
This is part of DeJoy’s wider cost-cutting plans that were approved in March and are coming into effect now. The are transitioning towards ground transportation vs air mail, increasing postage costs, reducing office hours, automating some processes, and more. It’s all to mitigate a projected $168b loss over the next 10 years. This wouldn’t be needed if they weren’t mandated to pre-fund their retirement accounts or buy separate health insurance, but that is up to Congress to fix.

Bear in mind if you are creating any sort of hash from an original data source, even a very small change has a radically different outcome for a hash algorithm.

If I'm reading this correctly, the error response back to the client is a problem. The plain text is a generic "invalid username or password", but the error code included reveals too much. One of:

- The user does not exist

- The user exists and the correct username and password were entered, but the account is locked

- The user exists but does not have a password in Azure AD

- The user exists, but the wrong password was entered

- The user exists, but the maximum Pass-through Authentication time was exceeded

This violates a cardinal rule of authentication. A malicious actor can know from the error code if the user they are attempting to break is exists or not (that reduces the search space by quite a lot) and worse, it even tells them when they have a correct username/password combo for a locked account.

Yes, attempts can be throttled, but once the attacker knows a valid username/password, they can just wait.

Vacant real estate can be quite a drain on your money. Vacant houses, for example, attract squatters, thieves and vandals. They still cost property taxes, insurance, upkeep, and your time.
I merely pointed obvious problems in your argument. Then your reply to my comment make accusations but has no substantive explanations at all, which also means it can be dismissed as such.
Even if it's being rented, I think the tax should still be there. We want people to own the places they live in

Great!... So Build Back Better?
There's something goofy with the labor market right now. The unemployment rate is low, but not Dec. 2019 low, and unlike 2019, there are labor shortages across the labor market driving up labor prices.

What's weird is how did we go from full employment, but not a shortage, to a higher unemployment rate and a labor shortage, even with somewhat depressed economic activity. Where did all these workers go? How are they making ends meet? Did people realize what they actually value and cut back both spending and work?

I ask all this because this is what allows labor unrest. Labor has a lot of leverage right now because there's a shortage.
Now we have a monopoly of a much bigger, more user-hostile browser(s) and the web "standards" effectively under the control of a single company, which also happens to own YouTube and does things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17606027 .

This article is actually a nice reminder that YouTube used to work in browsers as "unstandard" as IE6, and with far less processing power than computers today, was not noticeably slow either.

As much as you hate IE6, I hate the current situation far more. Those waging the browser-wars and evangelising the "push the web forward" propaganda have done nothing but contribute to the creation of a different monopoly and the waste of countless processor-hours of time and energy. My personal fuckings go out to everyone who thinks this is "progress" or in any way a good thing.
