In one of Feynman's books, he discusses and experiment that he did with people keeping time in their heads (count 30 seconds) while simultaneously reading a passage of a book. Some people had absolutely no issue with doing this, but many people found it impossible.

When he asked people how they kept track of how much time had passed, he found that people who pictured a number in their heads were able to keep time and read without issue, while those who "spoke" the time to themselves found it impossible to read.
Overreach like this is how governments spin out of control.

> Pork doesn't work.

Seemed to work when Taiwan basically funded TSMC. If they can do it, why can't we do it?

I mean, the USA is also funding TSMC to move to Arizona. I don't got nothing against this, but domestic chip-makers should also get a piece of the pie, right?

In any case, this isn't "Pork". Pork is when you build something useless in somebody's state (aka: The Bridge to Nowhere), so that those "somebodies" vote on some other bill.

Aka: Build a bridge in Alaska to nowhere, and __suddenly__ your Alaskan senators / house members starts the process of log-rolling and helps out on other bills.

------

Pork was incredibly common in the 80s and 90s, and has been cut down in the modern era. Today, its impossible to get logrolling, because too many people have demonized pork.

If you want to get Senators / House members to support a large-scale bill, you HAVE to have something in there for them. Imagine how much easier it would have been to get Joe Manchin to vote for the infrastructure bill if we tossed in a few coal subsidies (aka: West Virginia Pork) into the infrastructure bill.

Alas: today's citizens are ignorant to the wonders of pork. Its actually very easy to convince other senators / house members to do something useful. You just gotta give them a bit of pork.

-------

Pork isn't about making the underlying thing more efficient. Its about convincing leaders to support the project to begin with and get it greenlit in the first place. Without pork, you can't effectively build a coalition. And today's Senate / House is proof of that, its incredibly difficult to get anything done because of our anti-Pork culture.

Life was better with pork. We did our grand experiment over the past 30 years by demonizing pork, and it failed. Time to bring Pork back.

This isn’t hyperinflation, nor is it on the precipice. It’s not in the same ballpark, it’s not in the same league.

The only way the US experiences hyperinflation is if the petrodollar system completely collapses along with several other shocks to the system at the same time. Not impossible, but completely separate and distinct from current fed policy.

Hmm; Tiff is still the default universally-readable format for many lossless purposes. It also seems to be used automatically in places: e.g. in Lightroom, clicking "External Editor" sends a TIF file to the external editor and imports it back by default.

I'm afraid that after the supply chain issues are resolved (in next year or a bit later), I suspect that the prices will come down. I'd wager that there is always psychological aspect to inflation. This is not to mention that if we don't see prices increased noticeably because inflation gets cool in the next year or so, we'd still be stuck with shrinkflation (the amount of goods you receive per $1 spent would be lesser). I work with a Fortune 200 CPG company and they are already planning to keep prices stable in various ways (including shrinkflation).

GW fanboy here. IIRC, additional detectors provide better ability to locate the GW source so that other telescopes can also capture an event. They also improve polarization measurements. The number of detectors doesn't determine the false positive rate which is just a user selected point on a receiver operating characteristic curve. In general, we get more pay off from improving detect sensitivity than from having more detectors (that's why GEO 600 was more useful for the tech it developed rather than its most recent observations).

Yes, but that's a good thing. You are much more likely to burn your plant with fertilizer, than starving it. If you think about the typical environment most plants adapted to, you will not have a year's worth of N2, P, ... supplied once a year, but a constant, very low exposure through rain and continuous organic decay/production processes in the soil and above. For the most part, plants rely on osmosis, the capillary effect and evaporation to transport nutrients. Salt levels, including fertilizer, modify the osmotic costs and limits.
The "content" doesn't matter, all that matters is the NFT id (or hash, whatever is used to uniquely identify it). The game is what players have to coordinate about, make sure is the same one, and the exact same version of it. Because the code is the only thing that gives real meaning (the content) to that NFT. The blockchain is ONLY used to track ownership of and id (The NFT) nothing else is required.

I mostly agree on everything else you said as the current state of NFT-games. But unlike you, I do see potential for different kinds of games and dynamics that are not possible or impractical in database-games. I don't think they will be the same type of games we are used to, if you kill it now, we will never see into what it evolves.

> There's no right to refuse after you've already done the work

You implicitly agree to take on a debt when you don't ask for payment upfront, but either way you still should have a contract of some sort. Just because you call it theft doesn't make it so - failure to deliver on a promise (contract) doesn't retroactively become theft.

> the employee must have originally arranged the work off-the-record

Illegally?.. You don't get the same protection of law if you conspire to stiff the taxman.

> And if they don't, what do you expect to happen? Because wage theft..

My comment wrt expectation was about fraud, not "wage theft".

> even for those cases where the employer is doing things off-the-record, fraudulently, and the employee has no right to refuse?

off-the-record and fraudulent activity should be punished, but I see no evidence it is being ignored. If employees are also complicit, maybe that's the reason these cases are not heard.

> why is the civil liability to employer so low?

presumably b/c, without fraud, there should be all the evidence/materials to prove wrong doing in the normal manner (i.e. in court). I agree, though, that those who do it blatantly should be additionally punished if it seems they are banking on poor organisation/resources of their employees.
> Inflation reduces the value of debt and an era of increased inflation stands to benefit a lot of households.

Maybe. The policy responses to inflation are to increase supply and/or raise interest rates. Both of those put downward pressure on housing prices. So, inflation devalues the debt you owe (good for household) but also devalues the underlying asset (bad for household).

I don't think I fully agree with this assertion, either, but I do understand what you're getting at here. Even if this assertion is entirely true, though, I wouldn't call it a social movement.
It's just freedom of choice. If I was rich, of course I'd buy Apple products. Simply because it's cheaper time/money wise for me to buy SaaS products and digital goods than it would be to pirate them. And Apple provides a seemless and secure means of doing so. For non-tech people, I tell them just to use Apple. For people who download and click on every damn link (like my mother...) I tell them only IpadOS. I've never had to deal with malware on it because my mother can't install it unless it's through the App store.

It is not surprising. That you can use verbal language does not mean something inside must use it continuously. In fact, it makes sense that it is used only when relevant. That you can move your hand does not mean you continuously use them. If an «internal voice is going on», you are somehow letting it. This is especially valid for people with heightened introspection (owing to the higher control that internal assessment gives).

> this is a very hard (impossible?) thing to teach yourself

It isn't! The book "Code" by Charles Petzold is a great introduction to digital electronics and computer architecture. There's also the "Nand to Tetris" course (which I didn't take but people here are always recommending). You can build a simple CPU in a digital circuit simulator. If you're feeling adventurous you can write it in Verilog and simulate it, and even get it to run on a FPGA. This is all stuff you can teach yourself.

Of course this is not quite enough to make you a chip designer at AMD, but you'll know enough to get over the feeling that a microprocessor is an inscrutable artifact of alien technology brought from Alpha Centauri.

"Transitory" is a deceptively clever phrase. It implies the situation will go back to normal, or even reverse. Truthfully, it just means the increased rate of change in inflation is expected to decrease. Reminds me of a second derivative.
This is incorrect. I am this person and the argument I made by saying "the goalposts are moving" is that the many changes to the calculation methodology are consistently pushing the numbers down. I will also give a very strong example - 7 years ago ECB totally dropped housing costs from their inflation calculations[1]. How is this realistic?

I am not reading a phpBB called bogleheads.com, could you please provide some actual arguments to your claim?

The fines shouldn't be tied to anything. The point of fines is to punish bad behavior. The fine is the incentive to change behavior. I don't want fines being tied to specific rewards for a subset of society or a special interest. Once you start doing that, the incentives are broken. The benefit to society is that Google changes their behavior to avoid being fined again. The money should go into general government funding, not to "schools" or any other specific thing.
Unless it's a nonsense solution maybe, or you clearly demonstrate that you don't know what you're talking about. But otherwise it not quite working isn't even the greatest obstacle. (Though those tests working would be nice...)
