Switzerland has had very limited inflation so far, I think the annual inflation is expected to be around 1.5% for 2021. Though to be fair, Switzerland has had about 0% inflation on average since 2015, with a few years of deflation in that interval, so it's still quite a big increase.
Thanks for reading it. Appreciate that it resonates.

This isn’t even the biggest inflation shock in the last 50 years.

A lot of the inflation we are seeing is due to base effects from last year. Oil prices literally went negative at one point and are only back to pre fracking boom levels.
Prices are always moving so you can say anything you want by cherrypicking individual categories. That says nothing about inflation.

Surely then you wouldn’t install anything you didn’t want to, if non-App Store installation was possible?

To use your metaphor, we’re talking about the sedan also having a switch that turns it into a 4WD, only as needed and for those who want it.
Another one that didn't make it: writing a packed binary file where the first two shorts are the width and height and then just 8 bit grayscale values.

That was my favorite way to serialize images but I never had the foresight to add enough header or versioning info to make it backward compatible.

Now after 30+ years of programming the first thing I add to any homebrew file format is enough info to make it extensible.

Why not? many countries make their own islands, adjust their coast lands and do other sorts of geoengineering. Building tall platforms isn't that controversial either.
JPEG-2000 was held back by intellectual property restrictions: patents but also the fact that the spec cost $1,500. A lot of the parties involved appeared to think that the technical merits made adoption inevitable and so they didn't spend time making it appealing with things like a test suite or high-quality open source implementation.

That had several impacts which scarred a lot of people I've worked with:

1. The commercial implementations were not interoperable and people get VERY nervous when they periodically get images which won't open correctly in one tool or, worse, have defects which one tool hides.

2. Many open source tools either didn't support the format at all or used Jasper, which just didn't get enough support to be fast or compliant.

3. Performance was quite slow for a while and people who weren't starting with Photoshop or native Mac apps (ImageKit uses the Kakadu codec, which has decent performance) were probably hitting Jasper or the Java implementation, both of which were orders of magnitude slower. People will forgive a certain performance hit for better compression but, especially as network bandwidth and storage capacity went up so much, the savings just weren't worth it if you could transfer and decode a JPEG in less time than it took just to decode the JP2.

4. All of that combined to mean browsers never really implemented it, other than Safari which picked it up via the standard image framework. The complexity meant that getting acceptable performance and security would be expensive and the demand just wasn't there.

5. The complexity of the format and low encoding performance meant that many JP2s were not encoded with optimized settings, which reduced the benefits to supporting it.

This makes me a bit sad because technically it was the only format for a long time which supported a wide range of colorspaces, bit depths, etc. and the way you can progressively decode a stream would have been a really neat option for responsive images in HTML — imagine if all your srcset had to do was say “Range-request bytes 1-x for 512x512, 1-y for 1024x1024, …” and the server + CDN could host & cache a single file for every client.

There are certain scenarios where the progressive / tiled decoding can make up for the friction (medical imaging and archival storage in libraries/archives) but they're not widespread enough to establish an entire image format. The open source situation has never been better with OpenJPEG but there just doesn't seem to be a high likelihood of significant increases in demand at this point.
That post very explicitly states that it does not in fact include the data for privacy reasons. Privacy seems like a good justification to not release the raw data, but claiming that data is available is wrong based on that post.

In particular I see nothing about starting in Overview mode (the original question about data was about that), although maybe I'm missing something not being familiar with recent Gnome releases.
Automated relaunching could handle the unattended part. As for applications perhaps it could work as a compliment to solar panels for deployable night time power generation? Given general trends of economies of scale, huge tower wind turbines perform better on a permanent basis but kites would be far more dispatchable and transportable in a casual way. Might be roughly similar in niche to a gasoline or diesel generator aside from the obvious limitations exchange (not burning fuel for power vs being usable indoors or underground with proper ventilation, smaller footprint).

You're right - Dendron has a lot of similarities with Obsidian. A lot of our users come from people looking for open source obsidian alternatives.
Our main differentiator is our focus on structure - we let users create their own taxonomies using "Dendron schemas" which they can use to both document and change their note hierarchies over time.
A big focus in Dendron: how do you continue working with your knowledge base after you pass 1k notes? Our answer: by having a consistent structure to all your knowledge so you can quickly reference what you need

I think the point the grandparent is making is that for a corporation, a fine is the price of bad behavior. Corporations don't make moral judgments between good and bad; as far as the company is concerned, they will make $X of profit from the behavior and it will cost $Y in fines, and if $X > $Y they will keep doing it. So for fines less than the profitability of the behavior, governments should just think of them as taxes, revenue-generation sources from continuing to allow the corporation to do whatever it's being fined for.

So to be clear, your argument is that I have the right to full control of my devices, and that right entails that I _don't_ have the right to buy a locked down iOS device?

I understand that I don't have the right to take an unsafe vehicle on the road. That's logical, as it impacts others. But saying that I have a right I must exercise in a certain way (i.e. must have full ownership of devices), even when it affects no-one else, isn't a right, it's a duty.

The article mentions the new KAGRA detector in Japan joining the group. Does anyone know: how does the accuracy improve as more detectors come online?

Will we see a day where we have 20, 50, 100 detectors around the globe and events are near-certain because so many detectors see them? Or is the diminishing returns, and 4 detectors is already too many?
Maybe, but I thought it was different since it uses conduction. For example I am pretty sure you could detect a DC signal, whereas with radio you cannot.

Housing sticks out like a sore thumb. 2% increase? Over what period? Case Schiller is double since the last dip (circa 2012), and a solid 45% up since the peak of the 2008 bubble. It has a sharp uptick in the past couple of years, sharper than the 2006 run up. Sure, 2% housing inflation, nothing to see here.

It doesn't have to reach hyperinflation to have a seriously disabling influence. People look ahead for potential impediments to being able to get the goods they need. Hopefully, it won't amount to inflation, but historically, hyperinflation always tends to come out of nowhere. It's very hard to control once it gets going.

Only if a fine is so low it effectively has 0 impact on their revenue it's not punishing them, is it?

Doing so much that they are impacted financially IS.

Fining is because you can't put a corporation in jail. It is basically an alternative meant to speak the language of profit/loss that corporations live and die by.

So in this case if you don't make it so that the bad behavior is "unprofitable", then there is really no incentive to change as profitable business practices will not be discontinued and fines just become part of the operating costs.
Brittle fracture toughness for carbon steels (resistance to cracking) gets really bad below about -20 °F. The colder you get, the more things you have to do to keep that toughness up, or else steel will crack like cast iron instead of bending and stretching like it's supposed to.

I come from the pressure vessel industry where impact testing is routinely required at temperatures below -20°F, sometimes at -320 °F for cryogenic applications.

Fracture mechanics and low temperature behavior of steels is a relatively "new" field in engineering, only emerging sometime in the last 80 years, so I can see why the metallurgist may not have known too much about it. Widespread study was kicked off in the US with the Liberty ship disasters:

Also, what weak economy? Economic growth is up, wages are up, unemployment is down, personal debt is down. The only thing that is currently "weak" in the US economy is our JIT supply lines, and that will work itself out eventually.
Google isn't doing evil to warrant $70b fines. I reject your premise.

A $70b fine would justify the excessive targeting of a major EU corporation in response.

If the EU were to pretend that Google deserved an arbitrary $70b fine, then they could just as easily pretend US big tech broadly deserves several hundred billion USD in fines.

It's pretty clear where that kind of insane behavior leads.

This may be a hot take, but I think the gig economy is one thing which could be a pretty solid use of the blockchain.
Uber/DoorDash/Lyft are all pretty simple CRUD apps at their core, and the companies themselves do very little actual work. Unfortunately, due to the Silicon Valley cult of growth, they are still either unprofitable or barely profitable while also taking a pretty massive cut away from actual workers on the ground. Restaurants are stuck with them due to vendor lock-in, and they have to cut their margins or raise prices as a result. The consumer loses, the drivers lose, and the restaurants lose.

Most of the functions of the main delivery platforms could easily be achieved through smart contracts, and then drivers would act as owner-operators instead of "independent contractors". They would also be able to get 100% of the fees associated with the delivery.

Yes, clearly. As you say, there's no reason to use both. There's no reason, then, to think that that's what the person meant.

I live in Austin, so can only comment in an informed way on that. It has a good economy, cost of living is rising but not anything like the Bay Area yet (and plenty of room to spread so unlikely to get that bad). Progressive city government and conservative state government get in each other's way a lot, but sometimes that turns out to be a good thing, as they blunt each other's worst aspects (sometimes). Lots of live music, lots of high tech companies, meetups, etc.

The summer is really, really hot, and unlikely to get any better in the future. Not Phoenix hot, but still really hot. Definitely not as nice of weather as Bay Area.
I got my electrical and computer engineering (ECE) degree in 1999 from UIUC and learned everything but the very lowest-level chemistry, because I specialized in the VLSI (circuit design) side instead of fab. At that point, stuff like MIPS and the DEC Alpha were popular, and computers were just breaking the 1 GHz barrier.

Unfortunately the dot bomb happened right after I graduated, and the anti-intellectual backlash of the early 2000s killed independent research during the outsourcing era, which never recovered.

Sadly from my perspective, very little has changed in 20 years. Computers only reached about 3-4 GHz, and kept doubling down on single-threaded performance for so long that companies like Intel missed out on multicore. Only Apple with their M1 seems to have any will to venture outside of the status quo. The future is going to be 256+ symmetric cores with local memories that are virtualized to appear as a single coherent address space. But that could take another 20 years to get here.

Meanwhile we're stuck with SIMD now instead of MIMD, so can't explore the interesting functional paradigms. Basically I see the world from a formal/academic standpoint, so I think in terms of stuff like functional programming, synchronous blocking communication, ray tracing, genetic algorithms, stuff like that. But the world went with imperative programming, nondetermistic async, rasterization, neural nets.. just really complicated and informal systems that are difficult to scale and personally I don't think much of. Like with software, honestly so much is wrong with the hardware world right now that it's ripe for disruption.

Also hardware was a dying industry 20 years ago. We wanted fully programmable FPGAs to make our own processors, but they got mired in proprietary nonsense. There really isn't a solution right now. Maybe renting time at AWS blah.

I feel a bit personally responsible for the lackluster innovation, because I wasn't there to help. I wasted it working a bunch of dead end jobs, trying to make rent like the rest of you. And writing text wall rants on forums that nobody will ever read anyway. So ya, don't be like me. Get involved, go work for a startup or a struggling company that has the resources to fix chips, and most importantly, have fun.

PICT, there's a blast from the past. Way back at my first job I ported our visual graph editor to the Macintosh. Scrolling was very slow at first due to continuously redrawing the graph, until I started saving it to a PICT as a sort of cache. Worked great, the Mac could draw a PICT very quickly.
I've always been curious about the distinction between JPEG and JPEG2000. From what I can find online, everyone says that the visual quality is better than JPEG, it just flopped due to slow adoption. Could you elaborate on your claim that it's worse?

>they don't have a track record of anything resembling accuracy, predictions, or theory that works

Neither does academic economics; there's absolutely zero consequence for an economist who repeatedly makes incorrect predictions. The ones who actually can make predictions with statistically significant accuracy work as quants or traders, not economists, as anyone who can make accurate predictions of the future can easily make six to seven figures doing so.

That aside, the fundamental predictions in microeconomics between Austrian and neoclassical economics are pretty similar, so you can't say Austrian theory doesn't work without also saying foundational neoclassical microeconomics doesn't work.
In the case of COVID deaths there are a whole bunch of jurisdictions doing their own counting and reporting. City governments. County governments. State governments. The federal government. I believe there are also non-government entities such as health insurance providers and hospital networks providing data.

This limits how much governments that are reporting aggregates across their small jurisdictions within them such as state and even more so federal government can fudge the numbers without it being apparent to anyone who checks their sources.

Also there is non-death data that should decently correlate with deaths but is reported by different people which provides another check on the death numbers. For example, number of ICU COVID patients should move similar to number of COVID deaths. That data would come from admissions records or transfer records of hospitals.
