Corporations and capital class had huge piles if cash, that douubled while real Economy stuttered during the pandemic. Noone is talking about the fact that share price and real estate is inflating. But for once there is pressure on wages, and suddenly people are running for the hills

Sorry, didn't realize your usage.

That said, I think there's a relationship between the "blockchain as application" question and the "bitcoin as economic/political system" question.

Without the cryptographic and consensus parts, blockchain is just a ledger and obviously could be more easily. The only advantage that a ledger coming from a blockchain has over a conventional ledger is that you know the blockchain was (probably) obtained with this ongoing voting/consensus protocol and the main impact is you know the result is correct and wasn't imposed by some central authority.
What this doesn’t really address is the why?

Yeah there’s more money floating around, so perhaps more people want to spend it, but why? Most people aren’t getting materially more stuff or even need that much more stuff, consumption’s already god damn conspicuous.

Maybe everyone can afford a jet ski all of a sudden? No, the stims didn’t really do /that/ kind of wealth expansion.

To me, this still looks like the bullwhip effect, which is expected to have an outsized effect on demand over at least a year or two.

Buyers, who got used to “just in time” shipping, got spooked by shipping delays and shortages from their suppliers, because of supply demand imbalances during shutdowns, and as a response they all put in orders for 2 to 3 times the amount they usually buy from their suppliers with the intent of rebuilding domestic stock so they don’t miss out on sales.

All of a sudden, aggregate demand explodes.

Shocking.
This is from 2020 which probably should be noted in the title. Also Windows Terminal is now included in Windows 11.
I suspect the second half of this is where a lot of the cheap money will flow towards:

interesting, they did at some point have a threading option but I hated it. I preferred reading comments in time order and threads were clunky to me.
Specifically, he doesn't have any incentive to hype up Bitcoin to get you to buy it, at least as far as I know.
If 10000 people buy bitcoin at 60k per coin as an investment and later have to sell at 10k per coin to make ends meet, I somehow doubt that the guy that pocketed the difference will contribute to inflation as much as the 10000 guys trying to put up a meal for tomorrow.

It feels like saying Elon Musk will make make your next stop at the grocer's more expensive, because selling his 10% of shares for $20 billion will contribute to inflation because of all the stuff he's gonna buy with that money.

> A few weeks ago there was a conversation [1] regarding the utility of signals like this, with a common opinion that they are useless.

Unfortunately, typical for HN - a bit odd for a community built around innovative startups. Look at the top comment for almost every discussion, a smarter-than-thou takedown of whatever the OP says. I wish the mods would automatically move that comment to the bottom.

No github for you then ;)
I haven't seen it in the comments yet, but it will only be a matter of time before these ebikes will need to be registered, have a number plate, and can receive speeding tickets.

Right now there is no way to identify a speeding bicycle, no matter how fast its going. You could be doing 50 in a 40 zone and there is no way to issue a fine.
I like the story of the first Landsat. As I recall, it had a big, fancy camera, and a small camera that somebody else designed and was allowed to shoehorn in. The big, fancy camera completely failed, and so all the science output came from her small camera.
I mean, that's really a self-reinforcing cycle. Car culture leads to car-centric development leads to car-dependent suburbs leads to more need for car infrastructure. Nothing said those suburbs had to be built that way, except that's what people expect (and whatever local zoning ordinances ear-marked the land for single-family homes).
It takes way longer than 3 months to become an expert in say the JVM.
I think most people who would be happy with such a simple webpage are the same people who know how easy it is to do.
I think there’s some confusion with how the product works:

The images are scraped on behalf of user request along with relevant information from the originating webpage. The goal is that all pins on Pinterest are actionable (in nearly all cases, linking to the original webpage). The most often cause of missing links is for a website to go offline. In those cases, would you rather your Google image search return no results or for a cached image on Pinterest with a link to the original website which can be used for further digging.

No, that’s not what is happening at all here.
There was an EF7 RC1 version, and .NET 7 isn't LTS. Dropping "Core" is better done in .NET 8 - or MS could pick an entirely new name.
It’s a process that takes place in at least two worlds. There is the world users experience and at least one world if not more involved in the implementation.

Without limited options for backup and cross-device migration, I don't use Signal for anything too important, so search is less important.

Whatsapp UI and search are OK but if you have a very long chat history then simple things like jumping to a specific date are difficult. I end up guessing a medium-to-rare search term and using the search history to jump back.

I'd much prefer having control of the data with simple export to my own device for my own search/analysis, but none of these apps do it.
this was fun. thanks. bourbours versus bobos. ok yeah.

i do think the situation here is real. the vocabulary, definitions are crucial, very powerful.

and yeah i agree. i do think bobos have failed to ascertain & use their power. i do think they are the ascendant power, and havent figured it out. but the know-nothing bourbours are totally off the hook, are deeply legitimized, bidded on again and again in this article. and the bobos are hung, just executed as shits, for not knowing how to fix it all. after 20 years of legislative stalemate where democrats have never ever ever had power. so this article.is mostly subterfuge, a neg, a dig, on the progressives, for failing, without recognizing how hard doing anything ever has been. and a total pass for the bourbours. but the ideas, the conceptions- those are good. thanks for that.
It would be great if we could somehow turn the growth in discretionary income made possible by these economic policies into greater giving to public serving institutions (libraries, parks, etc) and other charitable contributions.

COVID's impacts have not been proportional across the socio-economic spectrum, nor has the benefit of the economic stimulus.
Actually, I did some searching and it seems that most RCTs don't actually list the contents of the placebo pill. I found this article which describes the problem:

From the FAQ:

> Does the Signal for Help stand for something in a sign language?

> The Signal For Help is not meant to refer to any words, letters, or ideas in American Sign Language (ASL) or other sign languages. It is designed as a single hand motion someone can make during a video call to silently communicate they need support. Deaf community members were consulted on the Signal for Help prior to the launch of the campaign to check in about using this hand gesture.

Race-based hatred as been taboo for quite a while, starting big after WWII. It isn't current zeitgeist.
> It also seems that they don't encrypt social security numbers and other sensitive data; I imagine if they did they would have mentioned it.

That's really scary and feels like it is more than basic in 2021. I really wish we had legislation to protect users against this type of stuff, or at least to grant them some avenue for compensation.
They are working in .NET 5 last time I checked. Opened an FSX script, "#r: nuget SwaggerProvider", point to a JSON API and it seems to work with IDE auto complete included with 2 lines of code, no project scaffolding, or package manager files required. Things seem to be improving on this front I guess as well.

I do agree - source generators have a better API as an implementer and can generate more than classes. I guess as soon as I need to jump into a proj file and I'm working with MsBuild anyway what stops me creating my own generation framework that runs before PreBuild that generates code for my compile step? I've done it before source generators were a thing.

I also did a quick Google search - Myriad (F# library) might be something that does something similar.

I think this is North American centric. In Asia and Europe housing to job centres is probably closer on average due to zoning. There’s less separation of “suburban housing areas” and “working areas”. There’s also less separation to shopping, etc so bikes are more feasible in general.

For these reason and I’m sure others, bicycles for commuting are more popular outside of North America.
Sometimes it’s not about the money. As for prestige, that depends on which social circle you’re in or what street creds matters to you.

In some ways, working for a big tech conglomerate can be seen as being a sellout in more artistic circles.

For some engineers, Google might be peak street cred. For others, it’s working on Rust. It’s super competitive to get into SpaceX, good for them, but I’m not being a code monkey for Elon. For finance roles, it could be Goldman, whereas it’s less prestigious to be a Goldman software engineer. Then in finance, those in equities may think they are superior to those working in equities. There’s talented people in all sorts of places, and there are mediocre people too. I’m sure Jony Ives is rich enough to not work or start his own project if he wants to. Maybe this project is something that is a personal / intellectual challenge because it is so distinct from Apple.
Presumably you mean hearsay and not heresy. :)

From the FAQ:

What if an abuser learns about the signal?

As the signal is shared and becomes known by the public, there is a risk that an abuser might learn about it. People in abusive situations are also often closely monitored by the person harming them, and they may not always feel safe enough to use the signal.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone facing abuse. Everyone faces their own unique circumstance. The Signal for Help is one tool some people may be able to use, some of the time, to indicate they need help without leaving a digital trace.

It is important that people reach out for support if and when they feel ready, and they should do it in the ways that feel safest for them. People supporting them should be ready to help without judgement, and they should follow the lead of the person who needs help.

Sure but that's a possible future thing just like Zuckerberg's vision of the future of the Internet. Right now ramping up to that level automation that supposedly outstrips jobs is MANY years to decades to more away.
The question wasn't if we're trying to eradicate it or not, or if we're going to ever return to a pre-pandemic normal, it's whether we're in an epidemic/pandemic or endemic phase.

My point is just that, as tired of hearing about it as everyone is, covid is still killing many people both directly (through infection) and indirectly (through tying up healthcare resources). We're still not at a place where covid is like the flu or colds because, as one example measure, it's overwhelming hospitals.

We should definitely be talking about expanding healthcare capacity, if not for covid than for the burgeoning obesity, diabetes, and hypertension epidemic. Those are discussions that have been happening for years, and ultimately work on a decade timescale.
Sure, but more importantly: consoles aren't the computer I do everything with.
You know, I've seen this discussion carried out any number of times, and the math just doesn't convince people this is impossible.

So, try this on for size: If this did work, it would be easy. It is every bit as easy as the idea sounds. Any lab set up for "quantum" experimentation could do this; entangling two things is step one in any experiment that you could call "quantum".

Yet this is not established, easy technology, with YouTube videos showing you how to set up your own FTL communication with your buddy on the other side of the planet, and off-the-shelf FTL networking equipment available for any ol' hedge fund or ISP who wants it.

This is because it's impossible.

If you're interested in why it's impossible, feel free to check out the many and abundant explanations of why it doesn't mathematically work.

But in the meantime, consider that if it hasn't been that commercialized, maybe that's because it's impossible. Because if it were just as easy as "entangle two particles and then poke one of them to send a message to the other", this would be trivial stuff. Nothing like quantum computing and its need for extreme isolation, this would just be a simple variant on stuff that really is off-the-shelf tech for quantum key distribution: https://infogalactic.com/info/Quantum_key_distribution#Quant... If FTL communication was just a matter of perturbing entangled particles, any of these existing, real-world, you-can-touch-them network setups could be turned into FTL networks with just a few small tweaks. No problem at all.
Its very hard to get contractors to work with materials today. So you can have some factory create panels of steel and glass, and the contractor can have (relatively) unskilled cheap labor snap them into place. That's a lot of construction today.

Some really beautiful structures do use minimalism, but so many big architects today strive for speed, size, and function. I think most modern beautiful, minimalist structures are usually smaller, built for fewer people, etc. Maybe?
Both of those options have the same measurement statistics on the other side. You can't control whether the other side sees On or Off via entanglement.

I've been an active member of a particular, very popular, and long-running boating forum. It's been around years before facebook and twitter. FOMO, envy, and keeping-up are just as much a thing in the marine communities as they are on any social media platform, but the one key difference is consumption of info - that forum is compartmentalized. Subscription emails are a thing, but they're throttled. The format of the forums makes for slow, introspective consumption. I've been a member since 2005, but I only visit once a month.

I just think it's night and day different from the firehose that are modern social media.

The problem with e-bikes is that they have been hampered down so hard by regulations.

No throttle, only pedal assist, 250w motors maximum and no assist over 25km/h turns it from the perfect future-proof vehicle for inner-city use and suburban commuting into a weird hybrid that isn't fast enough to replace a light road bike,

> kidnapping / hostage situations, which is what the hand signal is actually designed for

The description doesn't say that at all; it only discusses domestic violence and, if you see the signal, 'check in' with the person signaling. Presumably, if they were talking about kidnapping or hostage situations, they would suggest calling the police.

You’re seeing what you want to see.

Is it? Can’t game it much or for long without being obvious because it’s compounding. Let’s say inflation is understated by 4% absolute per year. Over 40 years, that’s a factor of 4.

https://inflationdata.com/articles/inflation-adjusted-prices...

Is the fuel cost per mile traveled 4 times higher than it was in 1981? No. Fuel prices adjusted for CPI are about identical with what they were in 1981 ($3.80/gallon): https://inflationdata.com/articles/inflation-adjusted-prices...
And fuel efficiency has improved by about 40% in that time: https://www.epa.gov/automotive-trends/highlights-automotive-...

Although if you have X in circulation as money, and Y in stock market valuation, you could say Y/(X+Y) of total value is in the stock market.

If the market valuation goes up to Y+Z, you could say money has "entered" the stock market, pushing its share of value to (Y+Z)/(X+Y+Z) even though the money in circulation, X, could be unchanged.
