The fact that a problem already exists in nature does not justify further exacerbating the problem.

i gotta ask about the tradeoffs of being open source. It's great for trust and marketing, but if people can self-host Budibase they're always weighing DIY vs paying you. I also work in an open source company and I know product development is often slowed because you have to consider the open ended needs of the open source users vs the constrained assumptions of your cloud.

Any insights or rules of thumb you've developed to think about running an open source business?

If that policy is enforceable, someone would have to be storing passwords in plaintext, or the hashing algorithm is too weak.

I don't understand how higher interest rates on savings accounts would meaningfully impact the middle class.

The median savings account balance is just $5,300[1]. And the thing about savings accounts is that they generally do get spent down periodically - they typically aren't used to continuously squirrel away cash for decades, so you're not compounding interest over the long term. You might save for 5 years and then do a big spend-down to purchase a car, a house, home repair, medical emergency, etc.

So, if the savings interest rate is a paltry 1%, that's just $35. But if it were 5%, it's $265 -- Except now you're paying 1-2 points more on a mortgage, student, and/or car loan. The median household debt is something like $59,000: roughly 10x the amount in savings.

So, you make $230 more in savings interest at the cost of thousands of additional interest payments.

Reducing QE and making debt more expensive seems to benefit a very narrow group of individuals who have the means to store large amounts of cash in safe liquid assets and don't carry significant debts relative to their income. Everyone else is worse off.

Depending on your OS, Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium based browsers, as well as Safari and a few other weirdos using WebKit, all still exist. Beyond that, calling Firefox "much worse" is obviously subjective; there haven't been any credible allegations I'm aware of that Opera is "weird Chinese spy" (sic), and even though they're owned by a Chinese company now they're still headquartered in Norway and have to comply with Norwegian privacy laws; and calling Google Chrome a "botnet" is, uh, frankly weird. It's not very privacy-sensitive and that may be reason enough to avoid it, but it is not a "botnet" by any definition of the term I'm aware of.

That's why I'm said "where the project is at" (present tense). At the moment Gitlab was still on Github, probably meant that it needed features at that moment in time that Gitlab itself couldn't offer. Any customers that needed those features would likely prefer Github to Gitlab at that moment. Ditto for Appflowy, but as things change, it'll be good to reevaluate it that time.
> However it's worth adding that most of blooming plants will change their 'diet' during their flowering period.

At some point I should redesign my nutrients into three parts. I've got support for a fourth dosing channel (fertilizer A, fertilizer B, pH, spare) in my electronics, so it's just another pump and the plumbing.

> There has been speculation that Apple would build this into their phones

I'm not sure how... the InReach (and similar products) are a Iridium satellite communication system that requires a bit more heft in the signal (up and down).

When you look at the iridium phones ( https://www.iridium.com/product-type/satellite-phones/ ) those aren't small things (look at the antennas).

Then you've got:

My interpretation of the 70% isn’t that you set 10 OKRs and it’s considered a success if you don’t achieve 3 of them.

Instead it’s that you set targets in the various key results, normalize them to a 0-1 scale, and if you’ve achieved an average of 0.7 over all of the key results, then that would still be a measure of success.

> I’m not going to jump to conclusions from a Boolean variable.

Agreed, I wouldn't either.

However the point of my comment was to explain that the variables rarely are boolean and never come in isolation (unless someone talks to you about someone else whom you never even heard of).

For me all these traits don't necessarily mean anything. You can like children and pets and still be a mass murderer, you can hate children and pets and be the most honest, most cordial person on earth.

When using outside traits to form an image about people your confidence in that image should never be exceptionally high. However cheating is not an outside trait, it is behavior.

A single imstance of observed behavior will still not say much. But at some point the confidence raises. If a stranger yells once at the waitress that adds one data point with low confidence to my list. If I cannot judge the situation because I didn't see what it was about that confidence might be close to nonexistent. Even if I fully recognize the situation I still can't be totally confident, maybe the guy has a bad day, maybe he has a history with the waitress etc.

However if I see the same guy being mean to different people for a prolonged period of time, my confidence in all other explainations will naturally fall and my confidence in the theory that the guy is mean will rise.

That doesn't mean the guy is an asshole everywhere in his life. Maybe he is super caring with his kids or old mother etc.

I am no economist but couldn't it be that raising pay in few sectors does not cause inflation? I would think that depends on what the people receiving more money spend it on. If they only spend it on things where we have no bottleneck and there is still excess capacity, how would that create inflation? Inflation should only happen if the increased paycheck is used to compete for scarce resources/products. So I think predicting inflation requires a more detailed analysis, especially you need to have a cycle of increased prices and pay.

Throwing your whole bank account into call options would be an extremely risky thing to do. But that doesn’t invalidate your point that capital accumulation of wealthy people generally far outweighs any amount of money they would make from their labor. It doesn’t have to be call options though, with enough wealth even interest from T-bills would dwarf a $300k salary.
But how would you study abstract math without those abstractions? The math is just abstractions and nothing else, the abstractions are what you study, there is no concrete thing there to describe. So your original comment tells me you haven't studied a lot of very abstract math since you still want those explanations, but they stop existing after a point.

> took some upper level analysis courses

Real Analysis is still not very abstract, but yeah that is a step. The next step is to remove everything concrete about it and just study abstractions. And then you start studying abstractions of those abstractions, hence "abstract nonsense". Maybe sometimes in the future someone will invent abstractions of those.

Edit: Meant the stuff you learn in Rudins principles of mathematical analysis. Not sure exactly what the course would be called in an English class, but I called it real analysis here.

If you increase the amount of USD, the USD cost of anything that isn't USD goes up. So, a lot of the market gains, housing gains, crypto gains, etc, are at least in some part to do with all of these countries increasing their money supplies. So anybody that has wealth kept in anything other than the inflating currencies is going to win, and anybody who either has savings only in fiat or is paid primarily in fiat is going to lose out.

So, yes, of course it causes wealth inequality. The rich can afford to bail on a currency while it balloons.
You need to write in order to think well
The fed keeps printing money and inflating assets. You can generate 200k a year much easier by "risking" it in the markets. You are wasting your life for a pittance that can be made easily in the markets. This is how rich people think, its only the lower classes that somehow think they are being paid a fair wage

Except in COBOL, data types are decimal, which means that whatever datatypes you choose to use in a modern language will not work the same as they do in COBOL.

Also consider that the COBOL datatypes are directly represented in the underlying storage, so whatever format you decide to represent a value in in the code is the same format that will be used for external communication.

If you want to retain compatibility with COBOL, you're probably going to need a COBOL-compatible numeric library in whatever language you're using. at least if you want to just reimplement the original code.

The key benefit of the Kotlin DSL is that in this precise example, IDEA does suggest valid stuff:
https://imgur.com/a/vFYNIU1

Kotlin DSL is miles ahead of Groovy in terms of discoverability and IDEA integration. With Groovy DSL, most of the build script is highlighted with various degrees of errors and warnings; with Kotlin DSL, if something is highlighted, it is a legitimate error, and vice versa - if no errors are detected by IDEA, then it is almost certain to work.

There were rough spots of IDEA integration a couple years ago, but now it is close to perfect, within Gradle's limits of course (due to sheer dynamic nature of it, some things are just not possible to express in a static fashion, unfortunately). The biggest obstacle to Kotlin DSL use might be that some of the plugins use various Groovy-specifc features which are hard to use from Kotlin, but thankfully most of the plugins either fix those, or are rewritten in Java or Kotlin instead.

Agreed. I recently tried to adopt Brave on iOS. There in-app marketing messages are cringe-worthy[1] and there isn't a way to opt-out as far as I have found.

This seems unethical, as I consider these messages as unwanted advertisements for MLM crypto projects. Brave removes paid ads from the internet, but subjects me to in-app advertisements for pyramid schemes (Sorry, I mean ground floor crypto investment opportunities).

Background: I think BAT is fine and have no problem with it if it is communicated in a user centered way. Trying to fix the web's business model is an interesting experiment.

> The video was public well before Grosskreutz admitted to drawing his weapon at Rittenhouse as he approached him, the Facebook post after the incident was known about. They should’ve informed their audience of these facts more so than they were informed of Grosskreutz’s fear of his life, however the latter was the most broadly disseminated piece of info by being a headline item.

> It’s very simple. A WP reader is more likely to find out from being their audience that Grosskreutz feared for his life than the other facts that I’ve mention that are much more interesting and critical to the case, and it’s by design.

I'm obviously not following this story as closely as you. However, I think the issue here may be that you wished you read a different story than the Washington Post was actually writing. What it looks like they were writing was an account of this Grosskreutz's testimony, and his accounting of his mental state at the time may have been the most newsworthy part of that. It seems like you want something more like a Wikipedia article offering a definitive account of the event based all known sources (e.g. "the video", "the Facebook post"), which is not what the article you linked actually was. If I want a hammer, but have a screwdriver, it's not the screwdriver's fault for not being a hammer.

Furthermore, you're almost exclusively focused on a headline, which can never tell the full story. Usually there are multiple legitimate possibilities for a headline, and there's no perfect one that will satisfy everyone.

>> That's obviously false, since the claim is incoherent when applied to your example. If it were true, why would they have bothered to correct the headline?

> But no, your response completely missed my main point, they don’t have to not update it, dissemination of a certain piece of information in terms of its reach can be diminished without it reaching zero. Statements can be used push a false narrative without being outright untrue. There are more tactful ways to mislead than simply lying, obviously. Edit: To answer your question, to enable the defense that you’ve just made

That's getting into paranoid conspiracy territory. It's pretty unbelievable that the Washington Post would be trying to mislead, but then fix it to "enable the defense that [I've] just made." The actual evidence here is pointing to a different theory that better fits the evidence than that one (i.e. the Washington Post headline writer is trying to get it right, but it's an iterative process).

Now, don't get me wrong. It's totally believable that they have good intentions to report the truth, but, being human, also have biases and other constraints that subvert those intentions to a degree (and may be particularly irksome to those with different biases), but it's going way too far to attribute malicious intent to them.
