How will people be 'forced' to live in dense conditions? What's happening now is that people who would like to live in, say, Silicon Valley, where their job is, are forced to live far away and experience a very long commute every day. Many of them would choose to live closer at the tradeoff of having fewer square feet to live in. How is giving them this choice reducing anyone's quality of life?
They added a similar animation to the weather app in iOS 15. When it rains, it looks as if it’s falling on one of the UI elements: https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/24/ios-15-weather-app-hands-on/a...
I had, or rather still have, this exact problem.

The way I could cure this a bit is by starting to read books again. Now when I'm in the train I just read a book instead of scrolling through Reddit.

I've also deleted Youtube and Reddit from my phone, which also helps. But brains adjust quickly, so now I start visiting Youtube via browser instead of the app. But I do feel better about that whole situation, now that I started reading again.

The problem is, that I only feel like reading while travelling to work or elsewhere. When I'm at home, the temptation to sit in front of my PC is just too high. While working from home, I'm in front of a screen for like 95% of the day...
That's correct. It's a simple propaganda tactic but telling someone the same thing several times, almost literally word-for-word the same, works. People will start to show understanding.
Doesn't the price of energy factor into literally everything else? Every production and supply chain in the whole economy takes energy: gas, gasoline, oil, coal, solar, nuclear, etc.

If energy prices are up significantly, I'd expect that to have a much larger than 1% impact on prices as a whole. Much more than the impact of gasoline prices in isolation on the basket of goods.
0.03 * 7,900,000,000 = 237,000,000 . Btw, that's not a rate, just a hard count by the world Economic Forum.

That's a lot of people. There's so many variables when it comes to migration that an individual has to face, a percentage that high is actually quite significant. Rising quality of life also means immigration pressure isn't as high.
"Apparently, JBuiler used to be their #1 cash cow. Well, until Eclipse came along: within 18 months, JBuilder license sales dropped to essentially zero." quoting from a previous employee.
Inflation in our circumstances isn't due to an increase in the money supply. Here's why:

* Aggregate demands isn't too much different from before the pandemic.
* Demand for services has fallen into the toilet.
* Demand for goods has gone through the roof.

This massive reallocation of resources from one portion of the economy to another has created a situation where demand for goods far outstrips supply. Therefore we have inflation. (Increases in food prices are caused congestion in the labor market.)

This is not about US economic policy. You can see this by looking at inflation rates in Europe (and specifically Germany). These countries have very different economic policies than the US, but their inflation rates pretty much track what's happening in US. Therefore it is a common effect driving inflation in both places.
I specifically recall Microsoft engineering in the 1990 era, driving up to Borland headquarters in Scotts Valley en masse in expensive cars, and inviting engineers out for lunch "on them". It was a calculated PR and intimidation move by someone at Microsoft to acquire talent and to destroy Borland. Borland and its quirky leader were well regarded in Silicon Valley by many engineers, while Microsoft was busy making a reputation as scorched-earth competitors. It seemed that it was not enough to win a market segment for Microsoft, there was a clear signal of destroying competing companies, and Borland was one of them at the top of the list, based on this event.
It's not and even if it were it could be pre-processed locally as to reduce the data volume. It's safe to assume that everything you do on Instagram, Tik Tok is taken into account. Those are spyware and will intrude on the filesystem, on the clipboard history and wherever else they can.
Sure, but when I sell 100 shares of IBM I am not forced to buy another 100 shares. When I sell my home I very much have to replace it.
Right. My point was that timing of @IPO or at the end of lockup was largely irrelevant
Yeah this is why laws, and even constitutions don't matter at this point. Only the anointed CIA affiliated "papers of record" are given protection. Despite the beautifully clear language in the US constitution.

Just so you know, if you think this is new, its not. Communist speech has been deemed illegal, and upheld by the supreme court, since the McCarthy era. This is not presented as a political view on Communism vs Capitalism, just as a fact that the constitution doesn't matter.

For more recent events, I challenge you to find where a "curfew" on peaceful protests, or "free speech zones" appear in the constitution. Again, not an endorsement of the protest, merely pointing out that laws don't matter.

Also remember that the journalist that exposed the Panama papers mysteriously died in a freak car explosion. Very sad.

Live sports is really carrying cable subscription packages at this point, and I get the feeling that a lot of people who watch it would consider it a bridge too far if the major sports leagues decided to ever adopt a full pay per view model.
The same bullshit is also repeated every time Snowden is mentioned.
The consumer price index does include food and energy. It's in the main table of the post we are discussing. It's not clear why you are not 'buying' them.

Food...................... .4 .8 .7 .4 .9 .9 .7 6.1

Energy.................... .0 1.5 1.6 2.0 1.3 4.8 3.5 33.3
I would be very, very surprised if this sort of subliminal effect was strong enough to make advertising worth it.

Virtual ideology? Also, does the word permissionless ring a bell?

The question of what TV actually is seems rather central to the issue of whether it "lost" or not, and seems unanswered in TFA.

Is it a broadcast medium with a fairly small number of networks?

Is it a non-broadcast medium with only 1 or 2 service providers in a given neighborhood/area?

Is it a particular format for story-telling, and if so, what is that format?

I am guessing there are other fundamental "what is it?" style questions that I'm not thinking of here.
> But there exist people for whom adhering to the facts of nearly any situation is in effect a kind of credo or top tier value they will not contravene.

Where? Definitely not on this joke of a website. Just try bringing up the evidence for the genetic basis of race and IQ, or race and violence.

The author of "The Science of Functional Programming" book (https://github.com/winitzki/sofp) makes an argument that CT is at best tangential to practicing FP.
Have sort of hi-low tastes. One of my favorites is military surplus—- boots, pants, jacket—-for daily work around the house type clothes.

And another just came to mind, I have a smallish bag I bought on eBay “Field Pack M1945”, and another is the “Swiss Army Rucksack” c1970.

It’s rare to find much “built to last”, so instead I look for good warranties.
"Welfare spending doesn't help poor people due to inflation" sounds pretty dubious to me...
I don’t think the scenarios where uniform steps of angle is vanishingly small. There are plenty of cases where it matters to animators, on character rigs, on cameras

The amount that it matters depends on the angle between keys. Suggesting it rarely matters means you’re claiming nobody ever animates large angles, which I can confidently say I’ve seen plenty of counter-examples in game development.

I also wouldn’t be so sure that lerp+normalize is that much faster on today’s GPUs. Normalize takes a sqrt and reciprocal or divide, while slerp takes a few sin evaluations and a recip or divide. These special functions these days execute in a separate pipeline from linear (FMA) type instructions, and can be had for “free” as long as you can mix enough independent linear math in between the special functions. It used to be that sin() was very slow, but these days you can often mix a couple calls in without affecting your perf at all.
The other issue is the new housing that is being built in my inner city is very expensive to rent. They are capitalizing on the shortage of housing so being closer to work isn’t the cheaper option. The areas outside of town are older houses but are often much cheaper. Way too much investment purchases happening. People who don’t ever intend to live in a house just make money off of it. And I’m not against investing but we are getting to the point now that large swaths of the population are struggling to get by. If housing eats up all of ones money they certainly are not going to be contributing to the greater economy which can’t be good for all other sectors.
If inflation is at %6-%7 and mortgage rates are at ~3%, aren't people literally getting paid to borrow money?

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Exactly, inflation is a detriment to those with lots of dollars, those who have lent out dollars, and importers/consumers of foreign goods.

But it can also benefit owners of physical assets, borrowers of dollars, and exporters of domestic goods.
There is no evidence he helped her. Their main witness was a pedophile who lied to try get his own charges lessened. There is no case against Assange. The allegations are bogus.
lol, yes!!
Critical thinking is taught in schools. The issue is it's rarely applied. Critical thinking takes a lot of mental effort and often boils down to who do you trust.

A group of flat earthers designed an experiment to test their belief. Performed it and showed the Earth was round. Then dismissed the result.[0]

When your priors say the probability is nearly 0 then no evidence is strong enough to change your belief. It's why science sometimes only advances when people die.

I wish. Clearly you missed the early 2010s, with skeuomorphic/glass design everywhere. I would have preferred that over the flat/featureless designs we have today.
That Rust syntax (I see on the SQLx page) is really appalling. What's "Ok(())" supposed to mean and why are there two pairs of braces. There almost nothing immediately comprehensible and what's comprehensible seems overly complicated: "let row: (i64,)" - what's with that trailing comma here?
That's a pretty dramatic change, as far as billboards go. I think most of the rest of the northeast still has billboards, but they are for, like, normal products.

I spent ten years building and maintaining one of the most important economics time-series databases in the world (tracking the US chain store sales index), if that's a credential.

I would say that criticism of the CPI isn't something I invented:
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/consumerpriceindex....

https://www.forbes.com/sites/perianneboring/2014/02/03/if-yo...

You can search around for plenty of criticism of the CPI if you're interested. The former is reviewed by a guy with a doctorate in economics from Harvard. Is he "uninformed"?
Part of the 'giving up $600 million dollars' equation here was creating an environmental disaster.

I don't understand the relevance of your point.

A lot of ad volume problems come from failure to normalize audio between what the studio distributes and what the advertiser distributes. Failure to fix something can be innocent or malicious: someone high up can simply not prioritize it, and no one could honestly say it's to serve advertisers without an admission. Some of it is innocent, some isn't. Laws are passed to regulate it, but they find ways past it.

Never again.
I've had some work in this field -- it is as far as the marketing teams are concerned.

One of my previous employers (international mega company) spent millions on advertisements each month, with no clear way to measure their direct impact. But they did it for the impressions.
I suspect there is no source for this, but OP is just summarizing what the Fed is hoping will happen -- basically they have printed too much money but they don't want to raise interest rates either, so they are just going to sit back and wait for the excess money to flow through the system.
I came to say Advertising as well

I doubt it has the effectiveness that people say it has when they are everywhere.
The article feels like a very wordy way of saying that it may be better to optimize the overall utility than individual utility. Social welfare captures this notion in economic theory and maximizing social welfare is often a cited motive for macroeconomic policies.

From what I've heard and seen the quality of metal makes them prone to breaking, and you need skill to take full advantage of the razor sharp edge. I have seen a great video showing katana students cutting bamboo and struggling and then a master going clean through that I wish I could have found again. For the record I don't think they are shit swords, just they look really cool and that has lead to various media elevating their superiority to other swords beyond reality.
I don't really see anything crazy about this. Poster eats organic food and lives in an expensive city. If he works out he probably consumes a good amount of food.

He literally said the opposite.
Being a night owl has its downsides. See if you have to sleep in tune with your natural circadian rhythms.

Look for work that doesn't stress you out, lets you have a schedule that you can stick to over time, and still provides you with some kind of income. Studying for your degree should be your long-term goal.

Stay away from social settings that may give you an initial boost but have after-effects and leave you feeling anxious, down, or depressed.

Engage in some physical activity that could help you regain your mental health. Looks like you can overcome your problems through sheer willpower alone.

Sorry I must dash away now!
People had cars before 1945. My grandparents were born in the 20's, their parents had cars by then.

They were farmers. Before cars, farmers had horse drawn wagons. Do you think they walked home with their groceries from the store ten miles away? Carried 160 acres of corn into town on their backs? Horses were noisy, expensive and polluting. Progressives back then whined incessantly about those, too. Some things never change.

Work horses shit about 30 pounds a day. Large cities would have had tens of thousands of horses. Hundreds of tons a day of shit on the streets. It was almost as bad as San Francisco.
No it isn't. People don't make rational decisions about these things. Just look at how many reject social distancing, masks, and vaccines.
Dating used to be fun and you’d go out and meet people. Now it’s endless swiping where 50% of matches are bots, 30% of matches just want you to follow their Instagram or Snapchat and the final 20% are just as jaded as I am so it doesn’t last long.
Plus anyone with more than one phone is treated like a pervert/cheat and/or drug dealer.
A. F12 and remove the div that says so or one of it's parent.

B. find another website that offer the same thing.

C. give up and temporarily disable adblock for that website until you do what you need to do and enable it again

what I find really annoying is website that tangle login to their ads, so when you have adblock software enabled it just silently fails.

the most recent example I encountered is https://www.edf.fr/ a government owned company, I couldn't get electricity for my new house unless I disabled ublock.

More than anything I have the internet to thank for getting the initiative to travel abroad, which by extension made uprooting everything and moving to a different state a lot less daunting later on.

While there’s I saw no shortage of depictions of travel in movies and TV, the idea of traveling myself remained very abstract until I started reading on the internet about the country in question and what needed to be done to stay there long term back in the 2000s. While a vagueness remained until I actually did it, the internet helped a great deal to shape a faint idea into an actionable plan.

Could I have done that prior to the internet? Sure, if I had taken enough interest to make visits to the library and borrow books on the subject. That‘a a significantly higher bar to clear, though — the internet is much more whim-friendly. I could see myself never having traveled of this timeline took place a decade or two earlier.
My version of the Carmack thing is taking my laptop on boat to Alaska and back for a week. Very limited internet access, relaxing scenery, and no interruptions. These have proven to be extremely productive weeks.
It's anecdotal but as a kid we had japanese anime on tv. There was a surprising amount of quality (considering the tech used for production). And some animes like saint seiya, have .. to my half educated ears.. world class OST [0]. Others like Space Adventure Cobra also featured very fancy jazz funk. It's somehow unbelievable that at the time, companies would allocate money for such features. Maybe it was the spirit of the era.. a kind of spiritual drive in the air (new technology, promises of the post war future, rising tv market) making people doing their best.

And I can't help thinking that this energy is gone. It's done, known, technology made everything available so there's no real drive needed to try setting up a show and broadcasting (an few iphones could do).
Do you recognize that this is subjective? YouTube is way better than TV, imo.
> nothing but eye candy

IMO, the real problem is the number of abstractions we've created, not the nice graphical stuff. The tech companies would be wise to start throwing truckloads of money at hiring game engine people and get help with the performance problems we have everywhere.

I'm not denying that things are more complicated now than in the 1990s, (unicode, high DPI displays, etc.), but we've completely abstracted over hardware to where it is no longer a concern of software developers.
I see the environmentally friendly alternative on the shelf next to the Tide, where are you buying your detergent that alternatives are not apparent?
Things net out at the end for new home buyers.

The mortgage rate may be 3%, but the cost of your home increases at a much higher number causing the value you have in mortgage rate to be offset by the higher up front cost of a home.

People 'buy' a mortgage payment, not a home. Its why home appreciation 'slows' when rates are high, and we have had record increases in home values with mortgage rates super low.
We are heading back toward the "TV" era... Where speech is controlled/censored 98% of the time. Take for example /r/politics where 10-25% of daily front page posts are talking against Trump and anyone going against their ideology will get banned.
I don't think it's always been that way, not exactly, the distribution gets less flat as people are able to make more optimized choices.

Again not arguing for mandates, just that alot of the bumper sticker crowd's arguments are full of hypocrisy and mis-information. They argue no to vaccines but don't mind spending 10x of the state's money on monoclonal antibodies and other expensive experimental treatments.

or arguing the religious exemption when you have all the other vaccines.

Arguing "bad science" at least your being genuine in your arguments. Whether they stand up in court is another matter. not for me to decide.

I would also say if your using a religious argument disingenuously you might want to consider your own soul before you do it. Again that's between you and God not my fight.

you want to argue more transparency for the CDC and FDA, absolutely agree. You want to argue for easier options for real medical exemptions, I agree. Exemptions if your antibody titers are as high the vaccinated, why not.
This is in agreement with what my personal doctor told me: the vaccines work great for two months, lots of protection. He said, depending on individual circumstances, protection decreases rapidly after that. His concern is people thinking that they can stop being careful after getting a vaccination. I just finished a company offsite and they tested everyone every morning and sent out test kits to protest for a few days before the offsite meeting. I liked that degree of carefulness.
