Don't they pay income tax? I think I read that most of the cost of roads in the USA is raised from income tax and sales tax.

> I found the behavior of ignoring established traffic law as if it were optional to be dangerous and selfish.

A lot of car drivers are out there too running lights, breaking speed limits and driving under the influence. People are the problem, not their transport.
Hah! Nice. :)
Ahh. So like "disposable fashion"
Funny to see this "epiphany" just now. Maybe one solution would be to store files on bittorrent and Blockchain pointing to a bittorrent link ? There are already multiple webclients for bt, this would not be an issue. Reliability would "just" depend on the number of peers
Find it bizarre that people need to come up with new explanations (in other comments) for something that is straightforward, well understood, and has been so for a century.

Money supply goes up. Provided that gets into consumer’s hands, demand goes up. Depending on the velocity of money, the slack in the economy is quickly eaten up. In a recession there’s more slack. Slack is things like unemployed workers, warehouse stocks, easily accessible resources.

Once the slack is gone, this causes prices to rise.

None of this requires consumers to change their habits. It’s just a slight marginal increase in spending by _a vast number of people_, which has transitive spending effects. This is Keynesian economics 101. The only thing that is surprising is the speed at which this has happened.

The proximate cause is printing money. A more interesting point: during the Obama administration there was a collective feeling that they had not printed enough cash during the 2008 crisis. I think what we’re seeing is an over-correction for that now in the size of stimulus packages. Very much a product of Biden being there in 2008 and now. It’s well intentioned but the mistake is to equate the two events; there was little risk in 2008 of over stimulating the economy, because the recession damped velocity and capital accounts and liquidity requirements ate up the new money supply.

World leaders have made a basic error and high inflation is the inevitable consequence. I’m not knowledgable enough to know what the level of inflation we can expect will be, but 5% feels nowhere near the peak. The real danger now is that we get into a wage-price inflationary spiral, which we’re beginning to see signs of. That spiral is incredibly difficult to stop, as the U.K. discovered in the 80s when Thatcher and Lawson threw the kitchen sink at it and it still took years to have any effect.
I think not allowing late people in is bad, but ruthlessly starting on time (with no “catching up” people who are late or revisiting decisions) is good.
However with a baseball card you do own the card. With an NFT you don't even own the digital item, nor is it intrinsically associated with a blockchain entry that you can prove ownership of. You basically own a link to a url which for some period of time will hopefully point at the jpg (or whatever it is).
Wow, I will surely pass this to my students. Thanks for having written it!
For an ETH transfer you're looking at $15. For an ERC20 transfer it's about $45. This is 147 gwei at $4800 ETH.

The cost is not the allocation per se, the cost is copying the bytes. When concatenating two strings, the bytes from both strings are copied into the new string. If you repeatedly concatenate, the bytes end up getting copied many times. E.g if you concatenate 100 strings by appending one by one, the bytes in the first string is copied 99 times, the bytes in the second string is copied 98 times and so on.

Using a StringBuilder, the strings are only copied once when copied into the buffer. If the buffer need to grow, the whole buffer is copied into a larger buffer, but if the buffer grows by say doubling the size, then this cost is amortized, so each string on average is still only copied twice at worst.

Faster yet is concatenating an array of strings in a single concat operation. This avoids the buffer resize issue, since the necessary buffer size is known up front. But this leads to the subtle issue where a single concat is faster than using a StringBuilder, while the cost for multiple appends grows exponentially for concat but only lineary for StringBuilder.
i'd get some CO2 meters, put them up around the pub, then make sure the pub is properly ventillated so its air is roughly equivalent to outside air -- e.g. 450 ppm CO2 -- then publicize _that_.

i know this is the most obvious solution, and as unthinkable as taxing the rich, but figured i'd state it for the record.
Gitlab docs say the absolutely bare minimum of RAM to run it is 4GB. And that's just for gitlab, never mind Postgres. That's something like $70/mo just to host some git repos on a major cloud provider.

And if you're talking about the hosted solution... we use that at work. We have what are effectively outages once a week on average.

I like the way Gitlab as a company is run and I really want to like it but... I use gitea at home and we're actively migrating away from it at work.
The average user likely is just as frustrated as those posting in this thread, but without the context needed to appreciate how much Pinterest spam there is in Google Image Search results relative to prior search results. Being hamstrung on both sides like this, I’m sure those users find what Pinterest floods the search results page with, but I wouldn’t assume that is synonymous with them “getting more relevant image search results than ever before.”

Thanks for your patience in these threads, by the way. Not trying to dogpile on you or Pinterest.
For Linux you can use either VS Code or Rider.
I actually had some very similar thoughts recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29137377

That said, it's not like getting a degree was useless in my eyes. I experienced writing low level assembler code which i otherwise would not have, as well as approached problems from a different point of view with Prolog, the paradigms of which were very different from the likes of Java or .NET. I also learnt about 4EM, COCOMO2, COBIT and other practices that are sometimes attempted to plan and execute projects as well as manage them and their risks. Plus, the brief looks at PHP, .NET, Ruby and others, even if pretty underwhelming, motivated me to learn Ruby on my own, continue with PHP and also avoid the older .NET because it's not worth it in comparison the new .NET Core releases (or .NET 6).

That said, all of it was more research focused than anything, but if i had skipped out on getting a Master's degree, i also probably wouldn't know about how to run and manage projects, since you usually don't learn in depth subjects from YouTube or skill sharing sites. It's nice to be able to question the people who have a decade or more of working in the industry under their belt, as it is nice to make mistakes and fail group projects in a no stakes environment so you can do retrospectives and then actually fix them.

I still maintain that the only useful degrees which would teach both theory and practice to a sufficient degree would probably take 10 years, which isn't feasible in our world.

That said, i got my education for free (the country paid for it), so i can understand your frustrations, because to you it probably feels like a bigger waste.

On the upside, some companies really care about the credentials, so there's that.
It is way too easy to remove that limitation. At least in the Czech Republic where I live it is common and it is one of the reasons I have love-hate relationship with e-bikes. I love the idea of e-bikes replacing cars to commute but they are also causing some kind of eternal September in biking. Suddenly there are multitudes of e-bikers without technical skills passing you dangerously fast on trails that were previously accessible only to trained (and therefore experienced) bikers. It spoils the fun when you are going up the hill 15 km/h and suddenly someone passes 2cm next to your elbow at 40 km/h.
This post really should have defined MP3 earlier! If you are like me and spent way too long scratching your head, googling to no avail until you got to the second half of and it was defined, MP3 stands for Monetary Policy 3
Those are pre pandemic numbers though, US imports just ballooned after they printed money to pay for the stimulus packages while exports dwindled. Without the pandemic things could have been fine for a few more decades, but now things looks way worse. At the moment the deficit is 80 billion a month, or a trillion a year, and the deficit is strongly trending upwards rather than improving as the pandemic ends.
> Thanks for generalizing Spark engineers to an insulting level, though.

I have no clue how you got that from what I wrote. I even said a Spark project needs a Spark dev!

It really sounds to me like you're the one generalizing from "the one C++ dev we hired couldn't do data engineering right at all" to "senior programmers are dangerous to us unless they are Spark developers" (which imo, is more indicative of serious deficiencies in your architecture / design process), to "all senior programmers crossing subdomains are dangerous."

Thank you for working on this, although I will not use it until VRs increase substantially the perceived resolution. Currently anything I have tried looks fuzzy and makes me dizzy.

> This ignores the fact that dollar is used as a reserve currency.

No, it's my whole damn point. Please re-read and stop it with the US "abusing" China by forcing them to run huge surpluses against us. These discussions are not helped with such emotional outbursts -- we are talking about currency markets, not your kids' tuba recital.

>Well, they stop buying dollars, the dollar crashes,

Yes, the whole point is to get them to stop buying dollars. That's the goal. And no, the dollar doesn't "crash", the dollar falls to its true value, the one in which exports = imports. That is the only possible sustainable value of the dollar.

> USA keeps digging their hole ever deeper

The only "hole" the U.S. is digging is allowing China to purchase an unlimited amount of dollars. You think China allows the U.S. to do that? It is capital inflows into the US that need to be reigned in, just as China does not allow unrestricted capital inflows into its capital markets.
We had people do this. It sounds good in theory but in practice you wind up scheduling the next meeting 45 minutes later because you know the first one will run over.

The second or third time the “boss” rolls into a meeting 30 minutes late, you go look at his calendar and realise somebody scheduled a 1 hour session as a 15 minute catch-up.

"Early settlers worked this ground to grow crops and domesticate animals; eventually, around 6,000 years ago, agriculture led to urbanization. These early cities — Eridu, Uruk, Ur and others — relied heavily on the natural resources of the marshes and were strung along waterways and latticed with canals to give access to the plains, the Gulf and to one another. " this people weren't arabs as far as I know arabs came 1500 years ago. I know language is not ethnicity but the Sumerian and Akkadian cultures are dead for long time. the story is s still sad but its the same story every where
At least the owner of the NFT would have an incentive to keep the file available.
Or cater to the crypto market.
China's economics on solar might also be a lot different, but given that it doesn't publish these numbers all we have to reason about are the US and maybe Europe.

Btw, ask France about cost of nuclear, I've heard their new reactors are absolutely in time and budget ;)

In the digital space, we have signed PDFs. So a comic book artist could easily generate 100 numbered PDFs, and sign them each.

Consider that a comparable amount of space is dedicated to car parking as parks in London.
I was thinking about it as well. It provides a carefree holiday sort of feeling similar to the old postcards. Very much similar to the West Indies cricket board logo.

Parking lots are dedicated for that purpose. And in here, if you park the car on the sidewalk, you get ticket. Shared e-scooters are regularly parked in the middle of the sidewalk, making it impossible to go around with stroller.

But to those companies credit, they do have at least token process of punishing bad parking.
The PDP-11 bus is really simple, it's easy to whip up custom cards with a handful of TTL chips. Also DEC used to sell all the parts separately, including backplanes which had a wirewrap pin on every contact. As a result, integrating a PDP-11 (more usually LSI-11 on QBus) into a system was quite simple - bolt a backplane to the end of a 19" rack of DIN41612 connectors and wirewrap the two together (we did systems with 10 or more motor control cards, each with around 100 TTL chips on).

A particularly nice feature of the bus is that it was memory-mapped, and everything (memory as well as custom hardware) would send an ACK signal back to the processor when addressed; addressing a non-existent memory location would cause a bus trap.

Edit: The bus is simple enough that creating an arduino, say, interface to drive old DEC cards woould not be hard. I'll keep that thought for the next time someone needs their nuclear power station updating [0].

GitHub apparently has a “Discussions” feature although I’ve never used it.
If you have to have some odd local definition of ownership you’ve already lost and know it!

Compare it to physical art. If you buy physical art you take control of the object and can do what you like with it including keeping it locked up in a customs warehouse.

If you buy a token you own the token not anything it points to. You can do what you like with the token but not what it points to. You own a link.
Like I said, in the future time line. It is not "aggressive". It is the normal margin for Apple. Apple has kept their product margin relatively stable in the past decade. And I know their BOM cost by heart. The only situation where they dont go lower price is to introduce more features, mini LED, Pro Motion etc.
On a practical level it is the attempt to bait rich people into believing into ownership and scarcity in a place where it doesn't exist: The internet.
So... it's basically kernel32.dll? That is, the shared library with a stable API across all supported platforms, and stable ABI inside any one specific platform which hides all the gritty details of switching to and back from the kernel? One wonders why it has not appeared much sooner but better late than never, I guess.
Is it really that easy to steal a phone number and/or intercept SMS messages? Isn't the SIM supposed to hold all sorts of secrets to prevent that?
Java has had AOT compilation since around 2000, just not as free beer.

In 2021, the AOT free beer exists, as do JIT caches.

As for OO model, I rather be able to understand which interfaces a type implements by looking at it, instead of producing compiler errors, or have a type by accident supporting a single method interface with complete different semantics.
It doesn't solve it. What if what's at the other end of the URL the NFT points to changes or vanishes?

I don't think anyone is arguing that the US government is comparable to Nazi Germany. I think the implication is that the Weimar Republic rapidly devolved into Nazi Germany and the Roman Republic rapidly devolved into the Roman Empire. I'm sure I'm missing a few other good examples of authoritarian/totalitarian regimes arising surprisingly quickly from relatively liberal democracies. (In particular, I'm not familiar with how stable or liberal Italy, Spain, or Greece were before their mid-20th century dictatorships.) History has shown that liberal democracies are metastable forms of government, capable of self-correcting moderate pressures toward authoritarianism, but not immune to larger swings.

I don't think the US is close to spiraling into authoritarianism within my lifetime or my children's lifetimes, but I would caution against rounding the tail risk to zero. Political change is glacially slow, except when it isn't.
> It seems you have missed the point so hard it's almost pointless to reply.

As are you - you are bringing up all these hypothetical production line theories, where in practise the screen is the most common repair, and Apple have now restricted it to their official repair centres or repair centres with very skilled technicians to remove, re-ball, and re-solder a tiny chip.

> If Apple was a person and the person wanted to be a prick, there are far cheaper and easier ways to do that. Fill the entire phone with epoxy, problem solved. Would be instantly water-proof, shock-resistant,

Except apple still need to repair phones under warranty, so filling with epoxy isn't viable, so here we are with pentalobe screws and device locked screens.
Not even close. The STM32Fxxx is a series of microcontrollers. They have tons of internal state which isn't exhaustively covered by test vectors. (For example, a basic 16-bit timer peripheral has roughly 60 bits of internal state, and there certainly aren't going to be 2^60 test vectors to cover that.)
I rather have a pom.xml than build.xml or gradle spaghetti.

The docs shouldn't be needed by anyone wanting to run a forum.

But the whole forum is web API first, and the web site is just a client. The docs are there to say "anything you see this website doing, you can do it through a client you create"... and it doesn't have to be everything, if all you want to do is list publicly visible new conversations on a different website then it's a single API call that you can do from client side JavaScript.

But... if you do want to create an entirely new application using the forum as a platform for it, i.e. a full blog system with the forum hidden but driving discussions, or an app where the forum is at the heart of it but the app looks like a cyclists ride database oriented around events and a calendar but with discussions per ride... well knock yourself out, the API makes that pretty easy and there are apps that do both of those things (though natch, they're closed source and the rides one charges over $200 per year per user for it).
Or: kids who started early with crypto with no idea of wealth and worth of a coin. When you habe thousands of coins. Giving out one isnt that expensive..

>Coal-Rolling Teen That Hit Cyclists Charged With Six Felonies

>The 16-year-old was not arrested after the incident, but has now surrendered to authorities.

>On September 25, a group of cyclists riding near Waller, Texas, were hit by a Ford Super Duty driven by a 16-year old youth. Reports from witnesses indicated the driver had been "rolling coal" on the group immediately prior to striking six cyclists, four of whom were hospitalized due to injuries sustained. Now, news out of Texas is that the teen driver is finally in custody according to the District Attorney of Waller County, over a month after the incident occurred.

>[...] Cyclist Chase Ferrell, who saw the events unfold, told Fox 26 at the time that the crash happened "because [the driver] was accelerating to blow more diesel fuel on these cyclists," adding that the driver "ended up hitting 3 people before his brakes even started." Ferrell noted that the teen remained at the scene after hitting the cyclists, and spoke to police. However, the driver was not arrested in the wake of the crash. "I don't understand, if it was me who had struck someone else, I would be in jail," noted Ferrell.

>Colorado Bans Rolling Coal: Hallelujah!

>It doesn't matter that it will be nearly impossible to enforce: this legislation is more than welcome.

>For those not in the know, rolling coal is the name for blasting black smoke out the exhaust of a diesel-engined vehicle. It is done by modifying the air and fuel mixture in forced induction diesel engines to make the engines run rich, the result of which is a cloud of soot blowing out the tailpipes. This is done for the childish sake of annoying people, typically anyone that a coal-roller doesn't like, which includes but is not limited to hybrid drivers, convertible drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and anyone who so much as looks like they don't attend the same evangelical megachurch. Why do people do it? Nobody one can say for sure, though it has been suggested that it has its roots in anti-environmentalism.
