In a climate emergency should we be pushing animal ag? Seems counter productive to humanities ultimate goals.

Also not understanding files can be a benefit. Files are a legacy computing abstraction. Not knowing legally cruft can give you an open mind.
Language is still a learned skill. It is quite normal to assume someone not raised in civilization and doesn't speak any human languages does not have an inner monologue expressed in words. While we do all thinking in terms of words (thats how we express ideas) it doesn't necessarily follow. I do have quite a loud "copilot" but I can see how it's a configurable behavior
The entrepreneur in your example is a wage-laborer. Thats really not what people mean when they talk about "capitalism"
That doesn’t even make sense. If police aren’t trustworthy, why would someone report a crime. Suppose I want to report a crime in my house, that would involve inviting police inside. If I know them to be corrupt (maybe they go snooping or drop some drugs or steal from me), there’s no way I’d put myself in that situation, so I wouldn’t report the crime.
It’s probably a little of a, a little of b.

It is still less of a school to the economy than the beginning of the pandemic was. Threading the needle to manage this period has to be extremely difficult for policy makers.
That kind of variation isn’t too surprising to me. The claim that there isn’t one at all though I don’t really buy.
It's an outlier until it isn't. If the trend continues then you can argue for normality.

Not an HN thread, but HN videos. Particularly Michael Seibel's videos while jogging were very insightful. A lot of what he said in those videos were so obvious after the fact that it's crazy how there are teams that do the polar opposite and fail. I highly encourage you to watch them all.
I’m not sure that’s a compelling counter argument. Those are simply other supply chains also experiencing bull whips.
>An example is cars. Sure the price of cars maybe is rising slightly compared to the 70s-80s-90s-00s....but you are buying a totally different animal in terms of metal mass, semiconductors mass and so forth.

BLS uses hedonic adjustments to account for this.
Nice idea. Do you poll the feeds periodically? If so, how soon?

If multiple users are subscribing to the same feed, do you poll just once or one for each subscriber?
I was excited about using Flutter "when it got good" almost 2 years ago now. At this point I just go for React Native if I need an app for mobile and web, and React if I just need a web app.

> Caveat emptor. This is no different from due diligence when making any other form of investment.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, but it's _literally_ the value proposition of "crypto" evangelists that this stuff will be around "forever" on the blockchain. When you invest in stocks or put money in a savings account there are shit tons of regulations against insider trading, fraud, etc, not to mention federal deposit insurance. With "crypto" you have nothing except a pinky promise from some developers, essentially, who say that their "blockchain" aka directed graph will be around forever!

> Observation: there is an incentive for the buyer to maintain the content (or perhaps even to replace with higher value content) at the URL.

Why would the buyer of the NFT have to maintain the content at the URL? It's pointing to an external, off-chain URL that the _seller_ chooses.
I think the whole thing is more about how the Internet allows people to mingle from various groups and so there's going to be higher friction than they normally would have. Also, social media allows for people to get the dopamine high from people liking, sharing, and even mocking their posts. There's always something dangerous about how the feedback loop on social media works and I've noticed it when I've gotten into some spats or gotten a post go viral out of nowhere. As the notifications roll in on your device it becomes more of a game to see who gets the most praise or jeers from the crowd and less about finding like minded or not-so-like minded folks to discuss topics. It just turns into sports hooliganism where your side, whatever that is, is battling it out with the other side of the so-called argument.

And all the while social media companies just rake in the money from the advertising revenue based on engagement metrics which may or may not even make said advertising useful for the firms who order it. Ultimately, I think this will have to be resolved through other means than just more regulations. Just like how we use to teach folks to not believe anything you see online. We need to teach folks that getting likes online doesn't make you better or right or anything of the sort of moral judgements.
People need to decide whether they think this is because of supply chain issues and the demand spike following COVID or if it's because of the Fed.
Ah, another "enlightened centrist" article that effectively absolves the groups that proliferate extremists by stating it's a universal problem.

When one side denies objective reality and allows extremism into the topmost echelons of their organization and the other preaches moderation and respect for political norms, creating false equivalences puts you on the side of the extremists.
Good point, and we are! BCI is a rapidly growing field with plenty of academic and now industry groups working on all aspects of implantable devices, decode algorithms, etc.

It'd be useful if Airbnb offered a full coverage for a premium. That would make it easier for hosts since getting another insurance yourself is more complicated as you will need to pay much more for insurance that covers Airbnb style rentals, even though that part you already have coverage for and just need regular insurance when the property is not rented.
Sooooo....

A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I was dating an insanely hot girl...

When she asked me to go get an STD test prior to us doing anything...

I was 18 - and it was all good...

So I go to the clinic and am awaiting to see what happens at said test...

This ISANELY hot nurse comes in and tells me about the procedure and such and then leaves me in the room to disrobe...

I sit there literally goin g through such thoughts in my mind "DONT GET HARD DONT GET HARD" etc...

So I spend what feels like an eternitiy trying different thought methods to keep me distracted away from that amazingly beautiful nurse...

Then the door opens.

And in steps this troll of a person to do the actual procedure.... dealing with if I am flaccid is no longer a problem.

A few years later my DAD told me about Whitehouse.com being a porn website...

I check it out (this was lit. like 1999 or so)

I find a nice video and the girl in the video was my super hot girlfriend who asked me for the STD test... and thats when I knew why.

(BTW I'm now old and still flaccid.)
I don't think it works like that. Letters are shapes but keys just are a relative position. The software is reading gestures, specific keypress motions seems much less data to work with.
You can’t transmit information with quantum entanglement.
They're saying that they won't put up with Apple's laziness. If Apple wants developers to target their browser, they should provide a working browser.
You don’t make money having a debt. You’re still accruing interest to pay. I think another way to think about it is that the lender is not making a profit when inflation is factored in. It’s a bad deal for them and a good deal for you.

Additionally if you invest the debt into something that beats your loan’s interest rate then you’ll make money, which is more likely now, since any worthwhile investment would have a rate at least inflation (for example, I-bonds).

Isn’t this what we’re seeing? Semiconductors strained leading to rising auto prices? (For example.)

All of Intel's codenames are real place names as well, and have been that way for a long time.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Lake

Apple does the same thing with recent macOS releases, which are all places in California.
As a teen I would scour local thrift stores for old 8 and 16-bit computers, play with them for a bit, then sell them off for two or three times the price. That would allow me to plow more money into old computers, either to build up savings or justify the few models I wanted to keep.

People would inevitably offer me more because they were worth more (examples: a very old TRS-80 or musicians who still used the Atari ST). More often than not, I declined. I was more interested in seeing them used and not interested in turning my hobby into a business. For the most part, everyone was happy.
> I wanted a sedan, not a 4WD - if I wanted a 4WD I would have bought that instead.

I have said this a dozen times and I will keep saying it: being able to exercise the same level of control (on a device you own) as the company that manufactured it and sold it is a matter of consumer rights, not choice. In the same way that the law requires car makers to adhere to certain standards and make parts available, the same thing should happen with electronics that have any sort of chip capable of running any code. It should be straight up outlawed that a company can have more control over a device than its end user, even after the end user has bought it.
Same reason Intel did mountains and then lakes. They needed a theme that had enough names for it to last a good long while. Better choice than Apple's to go with big cats. They ran out too quickly.
The ongoing supply-demand imbalance that is contributing to rising inflation worldwide is in my view the most pressing short-term problem that needs to be solved by hackers, engineers, and entrepreneurs today.[a] We need more people doing what Flexport's Ryan Petersen did with LA ports[a]: Figure out quick, cost-efficient ways to get our current system out of its currently degraded state and back to operating smoothly and normally so we we can go back to growing its global throughput as in the pre-pandemic past.

Large, complex, distributed, networked systems, like interconnected cloud datacenters, electric power grids, and global logistics networks, can get "stuck" in a degraded state due to a confluence of highly local bugs that are difficult to diagnose -- especially when no single entity controls the entire network end-to-end. Hoping and waiting for things to get better on their own might not be enough.

[a] Note: I'm not saying it's the most important problem. I'm saying it's the most pressing, in the near term, because a well-functioning global economy is a prerequisite -- a necessary condition -- for solving all important problems. Please don't attack a straw-man.

Do you not consider introspection a base level feature? I think the point of these aphantasia-related discussions is that people make wrong assumptions about what is base-level.
I agree with this. However, it becomes difficult to argue when definitions are shifting under you: https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/SB1000142405274870373080457...
If you don’t have language I’d guess a lot of things are different about how you think.

I only have a fairly basic understanding of crypto, so this may be a very naive view, but I thought it was the same as bitcoin, whereby the whole network eventually comes to a consensus on the order of transactions / blocks on the chain?
In my experience, it's not significantly more peaceful than how other people experience life: I can still ruminate, it just doesn't involve an internal monologue or dialogue.
An example of resolving conflicts is something like MSC2962 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2962) and MSC3216 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3216). Two proposals to solve the same problem, different ways. The first one was written by me; the second one was written by joepie91, who's a completely independent community member. Doesn't get much more of a direct conflict than this.

So, to resolve it, the spec core team (which is a mix of element employees and community members) went through the two proposals to compare them and concluded that joepie91's approach is better. So we're about to kill off MSC2962 and merge MSC3216 into the spec instead.

Please stop with all the disinformation - it'd be way more constructive to invest your energy into improving XMPP than trying to make Matrix out to be evil.
It is a good point. Inflation can be argued as an effect that impacts different people differently. If you're a vegetarian, rising beef prices do not affect you. So using an inflation indicator such as produced by the Fed and other organizations is not accurate for you as a person. I do indeed see inflation and it seems much more than the 5 to 8 percent that is published by the various inflation gauges. I'm not an average person and there really isn't an average person out there and we get impacted in different ways.
I don't know, but I think if you want to see where inflation is headed you should look at labor costs. Unless we see a corresponding increase in productivity(maybe from automation), I think prices will have to rise to compensate. Lots of things can transiently spike in price, like energy or raw materials, and you can eat those increases by taking less profits if you don't have the pricing power, but once labor costs go up it seems you are stuck with them.

If those labor costs drive the price of goods and services beyond some psychological tipping point, you then have more demands for higher wages, at least until those start to get rejected and we find a new zone of relative pricing stability.

I'm not arguing for hyperinflation or anything, but I don't think we'll see the price increases of the last year go away. If you're like me and had your assets in cash, well, a good percentage of that buying power is gone and not coming back.
I disagree. It is the same 'thing'. It's personal transportation. Doesn't really matter what it's made of as it performs the same function.

40% over a period of 3 years would be a annualized rate of ~13%.

That would indeed be unprecedented, and highly highly unlikely. Remember housing isn't the only factor in CPI calculations.

We're currently seeing ~6% annualized this year. Target goal of ~2-3%.
Modeling a system isn't the same as emulating it in real time. You have to match up the timing of your inputs and outputs with the exact right clock cycle that is coming with a hard deadline, and if your emulator does a garbage collect, or some other thing, you'll miss it.

It seems like a super fast system would be easy to do this with, but reality is different.
How does degraded supply chain throughput connect to inflation?
Food prices are up.

Why would it shock you? Think about it for a minute. Collecting CPI data is simple, although a big logistical exercise: go to the shops and write down current prices (for 1000 shops and 1000 goods).

Collecting aggregate sales data has to be done at a different point - more easily done by surveying companies or collecting export/import volume data. This is done too - but only quarterly and only published way after the end of the quarter, rather than prices that are collected monthly and published after 2 weeks.

It is also done by a different agency, the BEA calculate Personal Consumption Expenditure (the volumes consumed) while the BLS collects CPI (price inflation data).
True. If the government cannot tax you for what they want, they will just print it and increase the water level of the economy.

These trillion dollar packages put forth by politicians probably aren’t helping either.
Clearly the Fed mostly. We'll see it once the supply chain issues go away, but high prices stay high.
Interesting how, even with three LIGO observatories, there is still a 15% false positive rate. How many more observatories are needed to reduce this to a negligible number?
One thing I've seen repeated is that increased shelter costs are problematic if rents rise (on locked in leases) because wage expectations would rise in response.
I have an inner monologue when reading (or otherwise interacting with language), but mostly not when actually doing stuff. There must be some stuff you do where you don't have an inner monologue? I think it's a matter of degrees, like when programming my inner monologue consists mostly of variable names, but not like a procedural "I'll do this, then this, then it will do this".

If you're having a hard time grasping that, try doing or thinking about things while doing a mantra. I think you'll find that you're still able to "think" while the only thing your inner dialogue is saying is some kind of mantra. (It may take some practice)

You can also try speed reading apps which force you to absorb information without the time for an inner monologue.

I find this helps with introspection as you can observe ideas without the (direct) bias of language. Being able to recognize and observe the thing that's making your inner monologue happen is a useful skill, I think. I can't really imagine being bound to language like you're describing, and it often takes me a while to put more complicated ideas into words.

Languages categories are never going to be accurate. Is a whale a fish or a mammal? Well technically a mammal, but if you want to put someone in charge of them it's probably better if it's the department of fisheries than whoever's in charge of buffalo. One of of them has boats. The word is just a word, a pointer at a vague collection of things with similar properties. Being able to think about and work with the things directly without the distraction of language is very important to me.

So I understand you say that general price increase is just a statistical fluke. A lot of business owners decided to increase their prices for no underlying, common reason?

The fact is understanding the common underlying reason for the price increase is very valuable and that is why we measure short term inflation.

Would you prefer the government wait now and ignored the situation until later when it is going to be more difficult to deal with it? I thought most people usually argue the other way and claim governments are too slow to react.

Racial categories are relevant to a historical understanding of the apartheid regime for the obvious reason that the regime itself divided society along racial lines. For example, only white people could vote in the referendum you’ve referred to. If you are bothered by statements such as “many white South Africans supported apartheid” (even though you appear to acknowledge that they’re true?), then you should blame the apartheid regime for the relevance of this racial category, not me.

It is obvious that not all white South Africans thought alike and that many opposed apartheid to varying degrees. It is also obvious that the vote to repeal apartheid was an enormous step forward. As I’m sure you’re aware, nothing I’ve written contradicts this.
