Liquid cash and total valuation. Before the government asked them to start divesting, they had something like 200 billion dollars in liquid cash, sitting around doing nothing.
> If market rate of new units is 20% higher, almost by definition you'll see 20% higher rents for all in the long run

Well, yes, but that's not very meaningful without knowing over what time period you'll see that increase.

> Why should we use backward looking methodology in computing the CPI?

I mean that's literally just what CPI is. You're welcome to use leading indicators if you want, and economists certainly do. One slight problem with predicting the future is we don't know what will happen then.

> If we used the same CPI formula as in the 70s, we would be seeing similar CPI numbers too.

This is completely unsupported by the data. Yes, the switch to geometric mean effectively deflated CPI when compared to measures taken using the previous formula, but not remotely close to a level that would bump our current ~6% rate into the high teens.
Yeah, I chuckled that page didn't apply the fixed width that it recommended. If you just apply the width rule, it seems to mess up the right column.

This situation is more complicated than just "Congress imposes copyright law upon the public", though. Generally speaking, the people at large have consistently failed to demonstrate any kind of consensus opinion about copyright law, much less a democratic mandate that would clearly indicate to Congress what to do. But they do care very deeply about ensuring the economy continues to grow, especially with somewhat unfair international competition... and the easiest way to do that is to continue to push copyright maximalism.

Yes, individual Americans will get harmed by, say, anticircumvention law, copyright trolling operations, or automated content ID systems. But nobody gets outraged about that in large enough numbers. They do get outraged, however, when they hear about "China stealing our valuable intellectual property" or somesuch. So the message Congress ultimately hears is, "More please!"
Why not build a system of dikes around the island? What about poldering? Is that feasible here? The island is only 26 square kilometers.
Can you use these if they are intermittent and unreliable?

I'm thinking, maybe we get to the point where we have lots of nuclear humming at a constant (ish) rate, and some much cheaper, but unreliable renewables. Can steel mills start and stop? Forestry, ming etc. work on the schedules of wind and sun?

Sounds tricky for sure. Especially because then, renewables will have to compete with marginal cost of nuclear (which is drastically lower than average, since it doesn't include the massive cape, fuel is cheap etc.)
Nice idea! It currently sends 3 pings and prints the average, maybe i should consider adding cli flag to specifying number of pings and add min/avg/max metrics to output for ping.

There are some solutions but they don't cover all inhabited parts of the earth.

I am, actually, in the same age category and have suddenly realized that I am super excited to understand, explore and (eventually) produce something that relies on 3D game engines. Not necessarily a game, but something leveraging the game/3D/ Meta/Multi/Omniverse tooling that is available for free/cheap. Watching Borderland game's creators explaining how the game is really produced on Unreal engine and knowing all the same tools are available to me for free is just mind-blowing.

Did you find any community on the web to hang out at with this new focus? I saw a couple (itch, etc) but I am curious if there are secret gems out there.

Also, I am curious if you leveraged any of the commercial tools that are targeted at pro-crowd but have free/cheap licenses? Something that is an overkill for your development needs but turned out to be a great return on (time/money) investment anyway. Unreal is that for me, so I am looking for other gems.

Ps. Yay, maple syrup :-)
Not sure how Amazon can "step in" and raise wages will somehow save this. Earlier raises in the minimum wage have been largely erased by inflation already. Another round of raises just pushes prices up more.

But police chiefs and above are forced to "resign" much more commonly. And it happens when the optics are bad on something that was the right thing to do (like policing higher crime areas more, when those areas have a higher rate of minorities).

Agree I manage 500+ Apple devices and have been in disbelief that Apple recommends using JAMF to manage their own devices.

I use profile manager included with the Server App of MacOS and it is functional but limited in scope. I have expressed for years frustration that Apple recommends using MDM/ profiles to manage their devices … and then doesn’t even really offer an enterprise version of the software.

Google by contrast offers a great admin console to manage chromebook and google devices. Surprised apple has dragged their feet here for so long.
The problem is that both parties represent the interests of the wealthy.

Apple is an IT company.
Firefox releases every 4 weeks. Safari releases twice a year. That's a significant difference. We should all expect more from a $2.5T company (whose browser engine is the only allowed browser engine on iOS).

To clarify: it's not an attack on developers of Safari. The point is that Apple is severely underinvesting while at the same time blocking competition.
It literally anywhere densely populated was run by any different political party, I would love to see if that makes a difference

Okay, I think I see where you got confused. There are multiple levels of Unicode identifier support and you are probably not aware of all possible levels. Those levels are:

1. Identifiers can contain any octet with the highest bit set. Different octet sequences denote different names.

2. Identifiers can contain any Unicode code point (or scalar value, the fine distinction is not required here) above U+007F. Different (but possibly same-looking) code point sequences denote different names.

3. Identifiers can contain any Unicode code point in a predefined set, or two if the first character and subsequent characters are distinguished. Different code point sequences denote different names.

4. Same to 3, but these predefined sets derive from the Unicode Identifier and Pattern Syntax specification [1]---namely (X)ID_Start/Continue.

5. Same to 4, but now identifiers are normalized according to one of the Unicode normalization algorithms. So some different code point sequences now map to the same name, but only if they are semantically same according to Unicode.

6. Same to 5, but also has a rule to reduce unwanted identifiers. This may include confusable characters, virtually indistinguishable names and names with multiple unrelated scripts. Unicode itself provides many guidelines in the Unicode Security Mechanisms standard [2].

Levels 3, 4 and 5 are most common choices in programming languages. In particular emojis are not allowed for 4, so your example wouldn't work in such languages. For example JavaScript is one of them so `eval('var \u{1f600} = 42')` doesn't work (where U+1F600 is a smiling face). Both Python and Rust are at the level 5. Possibly unexpectedly, both C and C++ are at the level 3. Levels 1 and 2 are rare especially in modern languages; PHP is a famous example of the level 1.

Level 6 is a complex topic and there are varying degrees of implementations (for example Rust partially supports the level 6 via lints), but there is a notable example outside of programming languages: the Internationalized Domain Names. They have very strong constraints because any pair of confusable labels is a security problem. It seems that they have been successful in keeping the security of non-ASCII domains on par with ASCII-only domains, that is, not fully satisfactory but reasonable enough. (If you don't see the security issues of ASCII-only domains, PaypaI and rnastercard are examples of problematic ASCII labels that were never forbidden.)

I argue that the level 3+ is necessary and the level 5+ is desirable for international audiences. The level 5 would for example mean that `var 안녕하세요 = "annyonghaseyo";` (Korean) is allowed but `var (emoji) = "oh no";` is forbidden. I have outlined why the former is required in the last paragraph of [3]. Does my clarified stance make sense to you?

Home prices used to be included in the CPI formula, which is how you get to similar number.

Not OER, but actual home prices.

But even if CPI reflected rents fully, today, we would be at similar numbers.

And the Fed primarily looks at core PCE which is based on the backward looking CPI data. It's very obvious from a policy perspective, they should be considering market rate and not existing tenant rates for forecasting forward inflation.

Yes, the Fed forecasts the backward looking CPI, but their forecasts were also so far off this year, I wouldn't put any stock into them. I believe they predicted 3% inflation for 2021 earlier this year.
Plenty of people don't understand the concept of fining corporations, which is to punish them and get them to correct their ways, not to destroy them financially to the point where they end up firing people, which will now be out of work, which is a pretty big problem.

>Ive been using macs for 11 years, probably half a dozen in that time. Ive never had a problem with crashing. And the usual uptime is months.

If I stick to web browsing I can have uptime in months too. But as soon as I start up xcode and run the simulator, then I consider myself exteremly lucky if I don't have to reboot (manually or spontaneously) every other day. And forget trying to run the simulator and any video activity on a browser - that seems to be a recipe for instant browser freezes (at least on this 2019 16" macbook pro).
It's never "transitory", thats a bullshit world the Fed is using to keep people call. The prices are never going to go back to normal even if the rise of inflation ends we don't go back to normal prices unless things deflate.

I have had pretty good luck banging out a glorified calculator app for one of my products using flutter. Started from zero with flutter/dart and had a workable app in a couple weeks.

Yes, they are running stories about inflation. I think the key difference is how they're going about doing it. I sense that they are intentionally covering the situation in non-inflammatory way. This is a departure from how the NYT and WaPost will cover a story when they have an ideological axe to grind. For instance, they bring on experts to talk about inflation in an clinical and analytical way. They talk about the benefits of inflation to try an reassure people it is okay. They aren't going to some small town and taking candid shots of average Joes and Janes looking sad and worried about rising prices. While they mention rising wages, they aren't emphasizing how the rise in wages is lower than the inflation itself. In essence, I sense they are trying to avoid having people get riled up whereas if Red Team were in charge they'd be painting the picture as bleak and terrible.
LIGO blows my mind whenever I hear news about it. The sensitivity alone is insane -- it can detect a change in distance between its mirrors 1/10000th the width of a proton. This is the equivalent of measuring the distance to the nearest star (4.2 light years) to an accuracy of 1 human hair. Those are bonkers numbers. How the hell did we even come up with this thing?
>As a developer, I’ve modified quite a few system files

I do as well. Given that such things tend to be more fragile between OS releases though and easy to forget I usually prefer to recreate them for upgrades or reinstalls anyway. Also provides an opportunity to reevaluate them. So these days I think the better way to go about it is with automation as much as possible rather than backups. That said:

>It’s one reason I don’t use Backblaze – they refuse to backup system files.

Well, you can use something like CCC to image your startup disk to a file somewhere else, and regular BB will cheerfully take care of that. Makes restores mildly more work but not much given that a failure which nukes the system files means having to do some level of reinstall/recover anyway.

I use Backblaze B2 though, which has maintained decent pricing vs S3 and is much more natively flexible. Having local systems backup to TrueNAS (or have data folders that just live there) then that go to B2 is another way to handle things. With Apple making custom restores ever more difficult though all that might need some reevaluation too :(. I miss how powerful and pleasant their tools were at one point with no subscriptions or WAN required, and will always be a bit bummed things didn't go the way of adding your own signing to the system image utility, Net Boot/Net Install etc they already had going. Macs were really great to run heavily off a LAN back around 10.5.

Right but with massive debts and a fairly weak economy that is show signs of continuing to slow, this is exactly why the Fed is between a rock and a hard place.

The smart mmoney is on rates staying low for a long time which shows you just how powerless the Fed is right now.

They would LOVE to raise rates. They can't.

That all sounds so familiar. I was involved with design and low-volume production of a complex optical assembly long before AliExpress. We tried using surplus lenses and prisms, which were practically free compared to new or custom stuff, but the inability to standardize was ultimately more costly in terms of re-engineering, searching for parts, etc. Balancing all that out was an ongoing challenge. I remember finding a factory in India that could make us prisms at a very reasonable price and it was a huge relief. They came in individual handmade pasteboard (cheap frangible cardboard with surface layers of very thin paper) boxes with hand-lettered labels glued on. Old school.

I think these will be very appealing for campers, off-grid, emergency and other backup situations when they can hit a somewhat lower price. I understand solar panel costs are dropping, but it isn't always sunny everywhere!
> This may be pork from Intel, but even TSMC is getting subsidies to build fabs in the US. The US see strategic interest in chip fabs.

We sit around and argue about this while TSMC was founded by the Taiwanese government. The Taiwanese gov't is likely still a giant shareholder.

I am curious as to what HN readers think is different about the two situations. As in, why can't it work in the USA?

Fun TSMC fact: Morris Chang was never given any options as part of his original pay package. He used his own money to buy shares.

I fall into that category, and am still mildly hopeful there might be one or two more chances to hop on board. My rent increased by close to 20% this year (US, FL) to the point where paying my old rent with a $250 month to month penalty is actually cheaper.

I think this is part of the rampant speculation on crypto and the like - $1,000 isn't really going to do me that much good, but if I hit a 100x I could be a homeowner.
