Maybe not, but setting it up to sleep most of the time and only boot once a day to fetch the calendar and update the display should sip power pretty sparingly; I expect you'd get months if not a year or more before needing to recharge the battery.

If you can represent a continuous linear functional as the inner product with the Riesz representative then doesn't this also define a signed measure? It kind of seems like one of those theorems should imply the other to me, or is there some subtle aspect I'm missing?

Then the owners will just get less salary but will have the corporation pay for their housing, transport food etc.

"What were they used for?" is asked like there's only one answer.

Ballistic missiles give of bright, very hot exhaust plumes on leaving their silos. Any major world power with a down looking infrared satellite (or watching for "WTF was that launch in my wheat field" tweets from farmers"), will know when it launches, and have a relative idea of where it's headed and when it will land.

A hyper-sonic cruise missile is much more stealthy, giving it the element of surprise.
Isn't it a better idea to work on public transportation and housing to actually fix those problems? Simply forcing everyone to work from home will probably alleviate traffic, but also introduce its own myriad of problems.
> Apple hasn't really even marketed this as a big strength until relatively recently.

So is that the 'pivot' then?

It has been an Apple stance because Apple has no internal need for your personalised data. They have no privacy related business model.

But that is the extent to it. I don't think Apple cares one iota about personal privacy and they are happy to throw users to the fickle winds of censors in China and Russia.
You don't really need to "hibernate"; shutting the entire system down and booting from scratch on each update is simpler and probably more reliable.

The problem (hibernate or not) is getting the Pi to wake up, since it doesn't have a real-time clock. OP is using a RTC hat to achieve this. I do wonder what kind of power consumption it uses while sleeping.
Nah. The syndrome is real. But the cause is all wrong. I venture to say that some time in the future we will find that these are a form of 'workplace injury'. Caused by something that the 'spooks' do, or have had done to them in the workplace.

The government doesn't want to admit that, they'd rather put the blame on some shadowy 'adversary' than leave themselves open to millions (billions?) of dollars in Workers' Compensation claims.

Inflation is whatever you want to to be.

Usually inflation is defined using the prices of a basket of goods. This does not capture the inflation that people feel - most people are far more interested in the price of a home than the price of spaghetti, but spaghetti is the definition. One reason why spaghetti is used rather than house prices is that it is less subject to speculatory swings, or local variation - to be used as a basis for adjusting other prices inflation has to be defined in terms of something stable and uniformly priced. This may seem circular, and it is.

What we see is that increases in the money supply generally don't go into the prices of basic goods tracked by inflation. Instead they go into the prices of assets that are not tracked by inflation. Nobody is using spaghetti as an investment vehicle.
Re: . That is, the country is getting less white and more like the demos that tradionally favor The Reds

Opps. That should have been Blues. The trends in demos favor Blue.
I agree. I’m speaking personally. I cut out a three hour commute and I’m never going back, but I lead a team of twelve people and it’s important to me that I also care about their lives and careers, helping them advance and grow is important to me beyond my current company because I hope to work with them again no matter where. To that end, trying to think of ways to improve their professional growth on the remote world is important. The week in the office is something I think leadership should do, I see almost no reason for ICs, except for onboarding/cross team socializing which can be done other ways too, just more work these days :)
In order to follow through on this predictions we should set a date, say 2025 where no more fossil fuel plants are allowed to be built with the remaining plants having a planned decommission table of a maximum 25 years.

This way we eliminate all the fossil fuel subsidies, and we give a huge incitement to build out renewables in order to avoid blackouts. It would also highlight any dependencies that renewables energy has that might involve addition costs not accounted for in the forecast.

The linked study makes the bet that green hydrogen, a technology which is a few times more expensive than nuclear, and lithium batteries, a technology which is economical viable for a few hours of capacity, should be able to out compete fossil fuels on price for managing a month long period of the full grid capacity. Hope is that they are right. A law forbidding new expansion of fossil fuel plants would distinctly help to push it, and if some part of the investments went to nuclear we would have some backup plan if it doesn't.
> is the economic policy that moderated the cycles just setting us up for an extreme crash to come

It's actually not that complicated. All of the complexity of the economy ultimately boils down a very simple thing: it's a mechanism that allows people to exchange current wealth (i.e. stuff) for claims on future wealth (i.e. money). As long as everyone believes that their claims on future wealth will be redeemable at some rate they consider a fair trade, everything hums along. As soon as people stop believing this, everything falls apart.

What happened in 1929 was mainly a liquidity crisis, not an actual economic crisis, at least not at first. The underlying productivity of the American economy was unchanged before the crash and immediately after. But the inability of people to pay for things because of the Fed's unwillingness to loosen credit caused people to lose faith in the value of their claims on future wealth, and that caused an actual reduction in productivity over time. The same thing happened in reverse in the Weimar republic where the problem was effectively the exact opposite: inflation caused by government paying debts by (literally) printing money. (That was a little different because Weimar Germany wasn't very productive, having never really recovered from WWI, but that doesn't really change the basic conceptual simplicity of what happened in both cases.)
It could make sense if longevity (serviceability, "right to repair") were a design goal.

The BG really should have better functional / unit tests. That off-by-one error sure threw millennia of work out of whack.
I do think there are a fair number of people looking for more than come into the office for meetings now and then though. There’s also the fact that you still need to live in some semblance of commuting distance. That says 1.5 to 2 hours one way is doable for a day a week and gives you quite a bit of flexibility.
Ah, well, I'll just modernize my IPAM, no big deal....

I have actually seen quarantine IPs for new clients, if memory serves - it was on MIT's wifi network in the late '00s, back when MIT still had all of 18/8 and gave everyone a public un-NATted IP (just firewalling port 25/445/etc.). You'd get a 10/8 address to connect to the captive portal, and then once you authenticated you'd have to renew your IP lease to get on the network. (They eventually switched to 802.1x and no captive portal.)

Long story short, my experience is that everyone is doing at least one silly thing with their networking ("write your own IPAM" is distressingly common, for instance), and even if everyone agrees is in fact silly, it requires some sizable project planning and expense to stop doing it. Certainly a lot of people have managed to implement IPv6 just fine - a good chunk of the internet is on IPv6. But a lot of people haven't, and I don't think the primary cause is laziness.
Were you expecting a different answer? Do you think anyone who tells you a hard truth should 'seek professional help'?

Fair. Perhaps I'd rephrase it to "economists might be able to better understand the inflation phenomenon by recognizing that people are - by nature - greedy opportunists".

The article you linked to seems to do a worse job of summarizing the paper than Tom's Guide.

Do you have specific concerns about the characterization of the paper?
what you're both saying is true, so where you think you are correcting him, you're not.

the inflation of the 70's was caused by the increase in the price of a single good, oil, due to the Arab oil embargo.

Oil being a factor in the cost of many other products, there was a knock on effect causing a broad increase in prices across the board, general inflation.

There were also 2nd order macroeconomic effects caused by the govt's attempts to deal with the inflation and economic slowdown, but at the root, price inflation was necessary to reflect the realities of factor prices in the economy.

reducing the money supply would not have worked to curb that inflation (nor btw did it work in the Great Depression, though it did bring about some deflation. Deflation is why bitcoin is not going to ever work.)

No, it's highlighting a previously unlooked feature.

> They have no privacy related business model.

Not directly, but the issue is their only other legit competitor has an advertising business model directly inverse to a privacy model. Since they are selling a product, the product has to be what people want, and people are increasingly wanting more privacy.
"define why individuals are offering goods and services to one another."

Because these individuals think it's mutually beneficial to enter into the trade. This explains all voluntary cooperation including barter and modern trade. I sell my goods and services to someone who needs them because I can then go and buy food with that money. Currency obfuscates this picture a bit but its only role is to solve double coincidence of wants. Underneath it is just barter via a layer of indirection.

Public transportation seems to always bother someone. That's why we have nimby. It's the best solution when people have to go somewhere. If there is a solution that involves not even needing it in the first place, why wouldn't you advocate for that. Public transportation doesn't comes for free, there's still pollution involved and often runs at a loss

Apple has chosen not to have a privacy violating business model. They created a whole mapping service costing billions to avoid selling user data to Google.

Back in the early days of the iPhone many analysts projected user data would be a massive business opportunity for Apple. Imagine what the social graph and activity stream of iPhone users must be worth. They walked away from that.

But they don't, they often conflate noise with actual features, as long as the noise has some statistical bias, which given enough random generations, will. Try it yourself, generate random images using a uniform distribution (not gaussian) and run a SOTA classifier on them. Eventually you'll hit some minor false positives.

It errs in the same way we often see objects in clouds or constellations.
I think most economists understand the adversarial nature of an economy, which is why a lot of their models are built on game theory.

I think the bigger issue is that people are not as rational, nor as consistent, as the models treat them. The fundamental premise of a lot of economic theory is that people have consistent, ranked, preferences, and that people work to maximize their preferences. Most people don’t fit that.

My sister is a political science professor, and she says this is an open secret in political science. The assumption is that people have consistent preferences (e.g. someone who is pro gun control is always pro gun control), but research has shown people are fickle, and will give different answers at different times.

I strongly recommend everyone pick up basic set theory notation so that you can read seminal papers like these. There is so much amazing information in them, yet they’re treated as if they’re incomprehensible. You can understand the relational model with undergraduate-level discrete math and set theory knowledge.

These are the papers that formed our industry. Let’s not forget them.

Sounds like motivated reasoning to me. We've had 40 years of pretty successful economic policy, but we'd really, really like to spend a huge amount of money when there's already a shortage of workers. But hey, who really knows, right? Maybe inflation won't be a problem.
So, first, I don't think Google search is harmful, so I'm not especially interested in boycotting, but I'm happy to grant this for the discussion.

There's already an interesting question about when boycotting is it worthwhile tactic, but in this situation, there's the additional complexity of there being two ends at which one could boycott a search engine:

* Producer: don't allow the search engine to include your stuff

* Consumer: use a different search engine

This is not the only place you find this dynamic. For example, if I thought Chrome was harmful, I could choose:

* Producer: make my site incompatible with Chrome and suggest people switch

* Consumer: use a different browser

Or, with email:

* Producer: don't email people with @gmail.com addresses

* Consumer: use a different email provider

Thinking through these cases and similar ones, if you think Gmail / Chrome / Search is harmful then the "consumer" side makes sense: the alternatives are nearly as good so you're not giving up much, and you're helping increase diversity. On the other hand, the "producer" side ones are much less attractive, because they're a much larger sacrifice and the benefit doesn't seem that big.

(Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on Search, Chrome, or Gmail)
Facebook whistleblower says she wants to fix company, not harm it
This is debated. I'm not an expert in the field; I'm not sure how "hotly" debated it is.

Some sources to consider include:

1. From Brittanica' ProCon.org: https://insidertrading.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionI...

2. Finnerty, Joseph E. "Insiders and market efficiency." The journal of finance 31.4 (1976): 1141-1148.

From the latter:

> THE STRONG-FORM of the efficient market hypothesis assumes all available public and private information is fully [reflected] in a security's market price. The strong-form, in terms of market participants, also assumes that no individual can have higher expected trading profits than others because of monopolistic access to information. One possible test of the strong-form is to determine whether insiders earn better than average profits from their market transactions. To ascertain if the market is truly efficient will involve determining how well insiders do relative to the market in general. To date, some work has already been done in evaluating rates of return earned by insiders trading for their own accounts. ...

I would wager (in a prediction market) that many people who cite the efficient market hypothesis may be unaware of the second sentence in the quote above.

If you're not a good programmer, I would suggest that you find a technical cofounder and concentrate on whatever your skills are in. If you have no other skills, I would suggest you go learn some and come back in a few years.

But, since you asked, I have been programming professionally much longer than most HN users have been alive, and based on that experience, I have concluded that, all else being equal, languages with sophisticated static typing are superior to dynamically typed languages. Note the word "sophisticated": that specifically excludes, e.g., Java, which there's no good reason to start a new project in in 2021 anyway.
> but Tom's Guide has used the Apple-bait headline to try to get more clicks.

As opposed to the Google-bait headline in the article above from Tech Radar?

Apple has spent millions of dollars running "Privacy. That's iPhone." campaigns on every platform out there. Given that the facts contradict Apple's privacy-bait campaigns, the title seems apt to me.
The paper also sounds like the technique was developed to read these letters, and that it will hopefully be useful elsewhere.
