When the market is overinflated, that's exactly what you should do. And the underlying asset doesn't necessarily increase. Further, the price of the house (underlying asset) doesn't raise rent (apply pressure on the cost to borrow the asset) unless the demand is already present. There are many real estate markets where rent is a bargain compared to home ownership.
> Maybe exclude property that’s actually lived in?

Alas, that would be a terribly idea, because all of a sudden you have the government snooping into your living arrangements. Especially for grey areas where people share their time between multiple apartments. Way too complicated.

And, people living in bigger places would get effectively get a discount this way.

Your argument does highlight a problem with the transition phase of the introduction of the tax, though. There's a few ways to solve this, eg by slowly phasing the tax in over a decade or more.

(It's not a problem in the long run, because land prices will drop until the financial burden of tax plus mortgage payment is the same as today.)
I think for the purposes of this question we're interested in the past couple years, not 2010. I don't see a way to do longer (as opposed to month-over-month) comparisons on that page, but some analysis is offered here: https://cepr.net/the-medias-war-against-biden-over-inflation...

> The average hourly wage for production and non-supervisory workers is up 5.8 percent over the last year. It’s up 10.3 percent if we want to go back two years.

> The increases are even larger towards the bottom end of the wage distribution. The average hourly wage for non-supervisory workers in restaurants has risen 12.4 percent over the last year and 13.5 percent over the last two years.

This is pretty substantial.

But it even goes further than this, because what policy tools does the government have on-hand to curb inflation besides raising interest rates until they induce a recession, and won't this be much more harmful to a normal family's bottom line than inflation is?
what? are you saying they showcased the best results? that's unheard of.
I would bet $10,000 that the technology behind the first commercial fusion reactor does not come from ITER.
I am a long time Mac user and I don't use any software that requires a subscription. I do buy licenses for a few pieces of software but the way it works if you get to keep the version you bought forever and up to a year of updates. To me that is a reasonable version of recurring revenue.

The numbers on buying software once and then getting updates forever just don't work economically. So I don't blame companies for shifting to a different model as long as it isn't abusive (the worst version of this is Adobe Creative Cloud)

>And am I being selfish for wishing these high-quality apps were free?

I mean, yeah? Firstly, I had to look up several of the things you mentioned. I almost wonder if you googled "cool mac apps" or something. You listed a note taking app, a calendar app. There are oodles and oodles of really good options for all of those, both open source or free tier'd. I highly recommend Dynalist for notes, it changed my life.

>If you spend a lot of time and effort on that

You're pretty much never going to get super polished, amazing UI consumer facing open source software. That's just not the space that open source fills.
I wonder if I have played one of his games. When I was a preteen the adults in the house I lived in took a three week computer course. For the period of the course, my friend and I had access to a Commodore Pet. There was a text adventure that was kind of DnDish. A game we had recently started to play. We went through the text adventure then started to look at and play with the code changing all text to something much more juvenile...
I would definitely rather get up from the couch and flip a switch than open my smart phone, start an app, fumble through a nag screen telling me about recent updates to said app that auto-upgraded since last time I used it, turn on my lamp, get distracted by emails or some other red badge with a number calling for my attention before finally remembering that I just wanted to flip on the light so I could read my book.
I finally got through to the demo through three links and it's so busted in so many ways for me that I give up. Maybe it's stupid to try with my old netbook but I don't get any indication of whether I need a fancy graphics card for it to work or if it's running on my end. Anyway

-the screen zooms around disorienting for the tutorial and I get to congratulations you made your first image - there's nothing there.

-Exiting the tutorial, checking 'text' instead of 'segmentation' just immediately switches back after entry

-The whole site is a fixed width which is wider than my screen

- A red alert check box at the bottom confuses me about whether that's why it's not working

Louie Mueller was really great. Never been to Franklin's but I can't imagine it's too much better.

Indeed, they will likely be busier.
So the solution you propose is raising interest rates even though the we couldn't afford the interest in our national debt? Then we ruin the value of household savings with inflation, raise taxes so that our economy falters from both lack of demand and higher costs for producers, thus ensuring neither individuals or companies can meet this higher tax burden?
What exactly does Go solve that can’t be done in C#?
Agreed but given American politics this days, a well-placed earthquake will probably happen first.
EAs on a mission for their boss are a major pain in the behind, they tend to act as though their boss is the most important person in the universe, which inside the company they work for may well be the case, but they tend to project that well outside the company as well. They also tend to consume a disproportionate amount of time in others to save their precious boss a few minutes.

The main function of EAs for people that aren't all that important is to make them feel more important. "I'll have my EA contact your EA to set up a date for a five minute phone call".
> We want the kids to use their freedom and free will, and to think for themselves

Says who? The cultures who focus on “freedom” for kids are literally being replaced by the ones that socialize their kids to do what they’re supposed to do.
Don't forget that ITER is a big research project that tries to answer a lot of questions and put things together into a working prototype. That's not as shiny as doing interesting things in selected areas but somebody has to start building a whole machine. I think by design it will be outdated by the time it's done but that's a good thing. Somebody has to go first and pave the way for the next generation.

Considering the potential payoff of fusion I believe this money is spent way better than than on things like returning to the moon or a lot of defense projects.
and/or we can make cars clean
i don't disagree. but there are valuable side effects. like engineering technology learned. a place and economy for physicists to "work". The web came from CERN, think of all the things we got from the moonshot. we get a lot from big science projects if not the end goal.

As an alternative view, while living in a very unremarkable North American area I have atrocious internet service. I don't think it's particularly uncommon, but it certainly is enlightening to browse the internet. Depending on the time of day a 4MB blob by itself can take ~8 seconds to download. 8 seconds is a _long_ time.

Obviously I have no idea what your app is, I have found very frequently it is not reasonable to have blobs of similar sizes (especially if text content waits for some front end framework to download/initialize).
All well said. Part of the problem is risk aversion - we're really at a point where no public servant or corporate type has any incentive to be anything other than hysterically risk averse. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by "taking chances" or ignoring the slightest, most trivial risk.

Add to that the amount of money and jobs that depend on continued covid fear and rituals, and it's not going to go away easily.

I've said for the last 20 years that the endgame of how wussy we've become as a society is us (the west) losing a war, and I still think this (although recently I think we've already lost and we just haven't really processed it yet). The only way this ends completely is with us being conquered and then hopefully western values gaining a hold again at some distant point in the future once authoritarian society rots to the point that it loses its power.

No.

First of all, primes are only used to arrive at a session key, and once you have a session key you're in the land of symmetric algorithms, which provide security by permutations rather than vectoring into prime spaces. The content of a web page does not matter at all in terms of the security being provided. A 404 is just as secure as a valid home page, in terms of cryptography. (Not in terms of application security, but that's a whole different thing.)

Second, the supply of prime numbers is countable but also infinite, and the relation between a number space and the number of primes within it is well established within the workable sizes. We have upper and lower bounds on the number of primes within certain ranges. This is partly why we end up with certain key sizes as being secure and other key sizes as being insufficient. Secure key sizes (in asymmetric algorithms) partly are secure because there are so many primes that can be fodder for key generation.
I think it will definitely contribute. For example SpaceX also could learn from expensive mistakes like the Space Shuttle . I think it will be the same with ITER.
While I didn't start this with the inclination to ban Ayn Rand, I think your first paragraph has convinced me that her writings should be in a library. If you think that her worldview is ethically bankrupt (and, fwiw, so do I), how do you expect the next generation of scholars to rebut that worldview, without being intimately familiar with it? If you think that a work should be made unavailable just because it's popular with people you are politically opposed to (and fwiw, so am I) then I strongly disagree, state censorship on political grounds is utterly intolerable. It's also completely untenable. Forbidden fruit is a siren song, and the article is specifically about people providing online workarounds to brick and mortar censorshop.
> I recommend owning as few as possible and just cleaning them as soon as you finish eating.

Or maybe a minimal, rugged, and easy-to-clean set for daily use, plus a somewhat larger "good" set that's reserved for company.
Speaking from experience spending a lot of time cleaning public toilets, you would be surprised at how the general public uses them in practice. And probably a bit disgusted. Aim even while sitting is not necessarily a given is all I’ll say.

In comparison the public squat toilets in Japan look worse but leave you cleaner IMO.
Thank you, both for the feedback and kind words.

> at present I do it as the latter. My cellphone's direct number is an external destination on the asterisk system and it initiates a new outbound call to it, and bridges the audio/call from the incoming caller to it.

But under that scheme, would it still work SHAKEN/STIR? I would think not, because to your cell provider it's effectively indistinguishable from a bad guy spoofing caller ids. Or perhaps there's some forms or whatever you can fill out to get a certificate that allows a third party to spoof calls to you?
You know, I'd love to tell you, but this is the challenge. I don't know if any of these excite me -- not sure if it's burnout or just pressure or something else.
Take it from someone who wasted too much time from 2018-2020 trying to elect progressive candidates that support unions/universal health care/tuition free college.

The population at large does not care, will gladly believe misinformation given to them by mainstream sources, and will not even fathom changing until it gets unbearably painful. I suspect what will happen is that little by little each sub-class gets squeezed and broken. It is effectively happened with the low 20% now the middle class is at the point of breaking and the upper middle classes are next as we automate and outsource more while collar jobs.
I just don't think ITER is really that expensive compared to other stuff like defense, oil subsidies, returning to the moon and so on.
Is it really, though? Just for kicks, last year I got an ibook g4 for a few dollars, and I got Minecraft running on it, not the absolute latest version, but one a few years old (Minecraft dropped 32 bit LWJGL support a bit ago). With some tweaking, I managed a solid 40-50 FPS, on what would have been a pretty anemic processor back in ... 2002, 2003?

Although, maybe it doesn't count as I used mods like Optifine, which are made to ... replace said un-optimized code, but I thought it was a good showing for Minecraft and the JVM anyway.
Investing in the wrong ~~fusion approach~~ "tech startup" will almost certainly just burn money.

The point GP is making isn't that fusion is a guaranteed win -- GP gave examples of other failures. It's probably their belief that there's more money in fusion than Magic Leap.

Thanks! I think this thread is definitely convincing me to at least search and explore employment opportunities.
The claim was that an income increase was necessarily a good thing.

I'm pointing out that if your expenses go up more than your income, you're worse off, even ignoring inflation's effect on savings.
You missed a radius there, with neighborhood or town/city level disasters.

I only use cloud backups (Glacier and Google Workspace), I gave up on off-site drives as they end up too far away to be easily/consistently updated, or close enough they are in the same disaster area I am in (Earthquake zone).

Houston flooding is another good example.

they'll only do it if the US government allows them to.

Like it or not, if they go against three-letter-agencies in the US, high ranked apple employees will spend years in jail based on the rulings of secret courts where all of your rights are irrelevant. The moment the cia says the word "terrorism", all your rights are gone regardless of how wrong the investigators might be. They can literally declare you guilty without you even knowing you were were accused of anything because according to them, national security is more important than the constitution.

I have seen a lot of AI tech that took pages and pages to explain how it works.

However, it only takes one paragraph or picture to explain the product/business benefits.

I see founders get really attached to the technical details of their approach. They think it's so important that they're using linear attention or whatever. Yeah, it is important, but that's not your pitch for why a VC should care about your startup. Your document is a small piece of the technical due diligence they'll do later on in the process once they even care. Your pitch should be why they should care in the first place, and if you can't fit it into 5 minutes, that's on you.
Your last question is a good one and I do want to say that I count my blessings regularly!

What scares me about my current position is that I definitely see myself atrophying. I am at a local maximum at best, and there are so many other hills and mountains to climb.

To be honest I wouldn't have mentioned that on a public forum, but it's kind of you to have done so.
If the whole of math were represented by the surface of the planet, "discrete math" would be more than half of it. Calculus (i.e. differentiation/integration on the reals) on the other hand, would be a city. Perhaps a very populated city, but just one.

It's a shame that match curriculum for non-math-majors is an all-roads-lead-to-calculus affair. I think we scare a lot of potentially talented people away from math with that approach.

Looking at the picture that cover is hardly what I'd call signal yellow. I can imagine that on a dull day, at the end of a long shift, your brain could play some funny tricks with you causing you not to see them.

It boggles my mind they wouldn't have put some kind of NFC chips in it at least to chime an alert "check intake cover".

It also is truly strange it couldn't detect the airflow anomaly on spool up, and at least alert the pilot / launch officers.

Could have a pattern embedded for super easy image recognition and a simple computer running continuous recognition of aircraft taking off (I'm sure there's cctv)... There's just so many ways to help prevent such a mistake!

One thing I've found is that photographing strangers is a lot more widely accepted in places around the world with more community oriented culture, and less accepted in very individualistic cultures like in the West.

I think this individualism considers the act of someone taking a photo of you as a transaction, where people stand to gain or lose from it, and quite frankly oversensitivity over how it could affect you personally.

And this is in stark contrast to community oriented cultures where I think people assume good faith and fun and shared experiences. It's a breath of fresh air really, not everything needs to be analysed from a legalistic or moralistic viewpoint.

It's incredibly unlikely that your image will end up on a billboard with spinach in your teeth. It can happen, sure, but it's so very unlikely, and so overwhelmingly more likely to be some kid's hobby or for an humble portfolio. And it's sad that modern life in the West has made people so paranoid and afraid of everyone around them, so they miss out on this shared experience.
Cost vs benefit.

Considering how many of todays highly effective knowledge workers where demoralized and demotivated in public school, you are talking about a short term effect. Personally I and many people at know greatly befitted from an easy public school education that enabled me plenty of free time to dive extremely deep into various personal projects. In comparison I took plenty of difficult electives in collage like Differential Equations for the fun of it, but thinking back I would have been better served with more free time.

I still remember coming up with the equivalent of the Bit Torrent algorithm in collage before BT was a thing, and thinking I just don’t have time to build it. In the wider context not a big deal, but don’t assume you can simply ramp things up without any cost.
I get that you want to down vote this, no worries there.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment though. I work with many such individuals and it's exactly how I got where I am today. By being one of those guys that care. I love working with these guys. It's a pleasure to do so. I really love that I'm at a company right now where we have a lot of these kinds of individuals working together.

Yes I have a label of "manager" on my forehead. All that means is that I have to do some stuff most guys would rather not deal with and that's fine. It means I code less. That's fine. I enjoy the mix. They code more and I enjoy seeing them make decisions by themselves, create tasks to make visible what they are doing and why, so that I can defend them against upper management easily. I can shield them and I do so with pleasure.

On the other hand there are developers that I need to basically do the work for. What's the point of doing 80% of the work myself and then transferring over to them to spend 80% of the time for a task to do 20% of the work? At that point I'd rather not have that person on the team and do the work myself.

And to tie this back to the exec assistant topic: if the CEO has to do 80% of the work, what's the point of the executive assistant?
> > We need to erode all that capital concentration, and the only way to do it without hurting the regular guy is through heavy taxation.

> Land Value Taxes are pretty neat

...if you want to encourage concentration of land in the same hands in which capital is concentrated, yes. (Heavy LVT harshly punishes any land use that isn't maximally efficient at financial value extraction, which is often extremely capital intensive—encouraging upward transfer of land to those able to apply the most capital to it to optimize extraction.)
