I wasn't making an argument about the behavior of the Fed.

You stated that Graeber had told "an essential lie" in claiming that the Fed was privately controlled. I quoted from the St. Louis Fed. their own text which (a) confirms that it is not part of the government (b) it's complicated.

I don't really give a damn about the argument on whether the Fed is or is not part of the government; what I care about is people claiming that someone is lying when they are not.

> it's just a flavor of trickle-down economics

Trickle down economics is a Republican justification for cutting taxes for the rich. Building new homes under Prop 13 increases the taxes paid by rich people.

Between 2015 and 2019 SF built 19,000 new homes and added 60,000 new jobs. In what world does that not drive up prices? This obsession with developer profits is convenient rhetoric to justify a hunger games like housing market.

Even SRO rooms were going for $1,200 pre-pandemic. This is how struggling people become homeless. Houston doesn't have less homeless because Texas has a better safety net. It's because housing is cheaper.

Here's a simple fact: we need to have enough homes for everyone that works here, retired in place, and that's growing up here. We do not have that right now. Luckily building large residential buildings is something humanity has known how to do for the last 100 years. We "just" need the political will to do it.
Good. There’s too much bringing of politics into the workplace anyway.

This is exactly the kind of person that does more harm than good with her woke brand of entitled “activism”.
You are right — because they built their trace data using the same data model as the error data (everything is an "event"), they are now running into difficulties with high quality trace data.

And I’ve heard the thrill of the chase perspective before. I personally never experience that, and I just like to have - not like opting for sex workers because its easy (and I don’t like how illegal and decriminalized environments lack consumer protection, and I’m not near regulated ones), but in reference to the general population, I would prefer to skip all that. It is fairly predictable for me to be out with other male associates and they want to go hunt/do laps around the venue to approach women in volume and that has never interested me. I create circumstances that women I like would be in. I queue those circumstances up and eventually thats the most common circumstance for me.

I find the entire dynamic of men chasing intimacy, and women withholding intimacy pending further compliance, to be unnecessary. It is unnecessarily elevating sex at the expense of rapport, when it can all be intertwined.

Regarding transactional relationships, I view that as an option. I like knowing the performers and courtesans, distinct from a random video on pornhub. I like seeing their creativity, schtick, their causes. Its entertainment. Its not different to me than a twitch streamer, or burlesque show, or whatever. I’m not “bored because I didnt chase” or devaluing the person because they offered and again thats just not a thrill I can relate to.
Mass production now has the price of an embedded computer down to $4 in the case of the Raspberry Pi Pico, however the prices of motors, sensors, and hardware aren't subject to Moore's law in the same way. This means that to personally experiment with robots, you have to spend a boatload of money. Building a robot arm, for example, requires about 8 axis of motion, force feedback, and a fair bit math to even pick up an object and move it to a new location.

The software for robots doesn't really do imitation, or AGI style learning, so you need programming to get it to perform any given task.

We're in robotics about the same place personal computing was in 1975. Some people have made interesting things, but there's only a few commodity systems that work and no real killer application that would deliver real value in the home.

Sure, Boston Dynamics is interesting, but $75000 for Spot is way more than the $500 IMSAI inflation adjusted to about $2500.

Less hackers have access to them, less companies can afford to experiment with them... prices still need to drop a few more orders of magnitude.

I know that at least like, idk like 3-5 years ago, when I had gotten a new windows laptop (windows 7 or 8 I think), setting the main account to have the name "" (without the quotes), caused some problems with the basic functioning, including, I think, with some pre-installed programs,

What happened to DOJ, IRS and State Department in the Obama era are now happening in all other federal agencies. There was a reason founders didn’t want unelected people to have authorities. Congress more and more instead of doing their jobs are letting these agencies do their dirty works for them. So instead of passing laws they are pushing these agencies to go after tech companies. If you see any of these phone hearings they keep having where they bring in these tech CEOs, it’s not about breaking up monopoly at all. It’s about doing what we say or we are coming after you threats.

Congress needs to get its act together and pass some laws. Stop these phone hearings. Stop unelected bureaucrats making decision for us.
Housing needs to be where the economic opportunity is. That's why there's empty homes in Detroit and a rent burdened population in coastal cities.

> Special syntax for reactivity is not javascript

That's because there is no syntax for reactivity in JavaScript, period.
If good infrastructure is in place, like it happens in the Netherlands, e-bikes are not all upsides. From personal experience, I have identified a few problems.

(a) speed = reduced reaction time. No more riding with your headphones on ---that's pretty safe and common to do in the Netherlands--- as you need all your senses on alert to react on any road emergency. (b) speed = less excercise for short-midrange routes. Your 20' bicycle ride to work becomes a 12' e-bike ride, and requires less effort. (c) speed = more room to be an asshat. Most e-bike riders behave, but as more and more youngsters can afford an e-bike, things change. Worse, youngsters often go for those heavy, fat-tire e-bikes that are just as dangerous to crash with as a regular moped. And just wait until those become popular with the (already annoying) bicycle-riding tourists.

But to be fair, an e-bike can also pay of its purchase within a year in cities with high rent prices. This includes Amsterdam.
So the lesson learned is live at least an hour from all major cities- got it!
I understand that your customers want very large git repositories, so that's the need you're going to serve. As a (very large) bonus, you're going to sell a lot of cloud services to people that can't manage to work with their monorepo on local machines. I won't be surprised if in 5 years, most big companies are just leasing GitHub instances as the only reasonable way to edit/build/test/deploy all of their code from the browser. I think it's a concerning trend if you're not GitHub.

Also, I appreciate that you're upstreaming to core git and not trying to build a technical moat.

But why do so many people want these monorepos?

This seems like a serious developer education problem to me.

If I'm wrong that Google is the cause of this cultural shift toward monorepos, what do you think caused it?

I can't figure out why so many people are married to git but insist on leaning into its weaknesses (large repos) instead of its strengths (smaller composable repos).

In siblings to this thread, we have people reminiscing about the good old days of subversion and asking for git to emulate those features. It's quite frustrating to watch.

I think I've been operating under the illusion that most developers understood git well enough to realize it's a better model than svn. But in reality developers would have been more than happy to use "SvnHub" if that had come along first.

> I understand economic impact is not the whole story, but the Japanese estimate of all economic losses due to the Hiroshima bombing

The bomb dropped on hiroshima was more than an magnitude smaller than a standard bomb these days.

> was 884 million yen, about 1.2 trillion 2021 US dollars, by my calculations.

~884 million yen at the time but that's a relatively meaningless number. A better measure would be 2% of economic wealth of Japan at the time which is where I assume you came up with the second number... for a 20kt fission type bomb dropped in a city of 350,000. A modern bomb 10x the size dropped on a modern city 10x the size is going to be measured in the 10s of trillions in costs - instantly for a single bomb, not part of a 20 year funding campaign that ends up recirculating a lot of money in the military industrial complex.

> On another note, while Japan has recovered very well — thrived, even — after the impact of two nuclear weapons

2 weapons totaling the 10th of a normal weapon at a time no other country had a nuclear weapon to retaliate with.

> the Soviet Union never did fully recover from its Afghanistan debacle, which was part of the background for its eventual collapse. Don't underestimate the undesirability of nuclear attacks or disastrous wars that can neither be won nor gained from.

Sure, plenty of things compounded have led to the downfall of countries over the last few thousand years. I can't however think of any reason or even set of reasons that would be comparable to millions of citizens dying overnight due to instantaneous deletion of a major population center... x100.
There are some real classic episodes that are an amazing introduction. There’s one where a guy calls in from his cell phone while ion a Cessna about to fly over Area 51. Art urges him not to do it . The last we hear from him is his reports of fighter jets approaching.

Even if completely fake, the entertainment value was huge.

California had a lot of success with Project Home Key that acquired existing hotels and converts them to supportive housing. It worked well because it was quick and often required only one vote by local authorities. In contrast, building new shelters is too easy to drag out and kill with a thousand paper cuts. Some SF Supervisors have spent years saying they want a homeless shelter in their district, but just can't find a place to put it. Others propose a site and then drag out funding forever.

My ideal solution would be a state agency that funds and builds shelters, supportive housing, public housing etc. Each municipality gets a list of how many beds it needs and can pick the locations. BUT if they refuse to pick sites then the state does it for them. Then the state builds it without any more bottlenecks on local politicians.

imo the key is allowing local choice, but not to say no.

If we make shelters a realistic option and a large number of people won't take them we'll have another problem. But we haven't gotten to that bridge yet.
Homelessness expert here. This data set is garbage. HUD data only includes those in the federally mandated HMIS (Homeless Information Management System). This data excludes 1) people who don't access services; 2) people who access services from private, non-federally funded programs (like faith-based groups); and 3) typically undercounts those with SUD, mental-health issues, and especially people of color.

A recent BGC study estimates that, in Seattle, for example, HMIS data doesn't include up to 40% of people in encampments.

Garbage In -> Garbage Out. Pretty sweet effort, though. Wish the feds were smart like this.

"Trickle-down economics" is not a well-defined term.

If all you're doing is giving money to Zuckerberg so he can buy more yachts and mansions, that money is not going to end up in the hands of regular people, and now he's bidding against them for scarce real estate.

If you give tax cuts to small business owners so they have more money to expand their businesses and make it easier to go into competition with incumbents so that consumers have more choices and competition drives down consume prices, that money is going to end up in the pockets of regular people.

> SF had 5190 unsheltered in 2019.

In areas with a massive housing shortage, alleviating it would require building a massive amount of housing. So... build a massive amount of housing. There is no law against it, once you get rid of the law against it.

There is no such thing as backwards compatible changes to button content

If your form html is reasonably semantically structured, and/or you give meaningful IDs to each interactive element, then your tests can be made somewhat robust against content changes. E.g. "click button #next-step" rather than "click the word Next".

If your frontend is a desktop or mobile app, look for ways to introspect the widget hierarchy to do the same thing (I know this is possible in e.g. Swing).
The point is issuance of American debt, and the Fed's role in it, is not privately controlled, neither in fact or in essence. Saying otherwise is an obvious lie in both senses.
TFA quoting Christopher P. Magra, a scholar of American Revolution–era maritime history:

Ask HN: Why are Mars results always “possibly” this, “may have had” that?
Every time I read an article, whether in popular news or an actual scientific article, about Mars, it basically always says something vague along the lines of Mars possibly has water here, may have had water/minerals/whatever there.

It's incredibly frustrating reading!

There have been many Mars rovers and orbiters. What, if anything, have they conclusively proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt? Why is it so apparently incredibly difficult to prove whether Mars has/has had water or not?

In case it's not obvious, I know nothing about astronomy, physics, geology, biology etc, so please don't be snarky. I just genuinely don't understand what's so difficult.

I don't think cameldrv is saying that a first strike is really feasible right now. It's just that in the past, the second strike capability had layers upon layers to make 100% sure no war-hungry commander could delude themselves into thinking they had any chance of disabling it.

Now all of the 7 points have eaten away at this certainty. For now, it looks like the equation is still in favor of MAD, but it with a smaller margin. But what if Russia or China has some trick/secret weapon to disable the SLBMs? Or maybe they are just waiting until they know the locations of all carriers/subs - they have many years, and it might only take one random moment of 100% detection! I'm sure the odds are very low, but I'm not comfortable with a gamble when nuclear annihilation on the line.

The fact that the dominant military doctrine hinges on some increasingly uncertain calculations is terrifying to me.

Why? Relative interest rates are one of the main determinants of the value of a currency, and there is a very popular trade that enforces it.

The "carry trade" involves borrowing money in a low interest currency (say EUR) and selling that to buy a higher yielding currency (USD) and pocketing the difference in interest rates.
