This is way off topic but hopefully it will get allowed because I think you have the expertise to help:

It seems to me that the widely accepted practice of market stimulation by interest rate intervention has the cost of destroying price discovery. Also, that it is a primary cause of wealth inequality. These relationships seem to me actually obvious: push down DCF denominators and valuations go up, inefficient businesses stay in business and employ people digging holes. Sure, we get good jobs reports, but we also work harder to make less. Meanwhile those who hold wealth see its value increase disproportionate to 'actual' worth and common people who hold little or none can afford less and less of it. It seems like a pretty direct policy of 'rich get richer, poor get poorer'. Worse yet, as I look at the world around me, it all seems to support my hypothesis. Tesla, spacs, NFTs, housing, blackrock & vanguard & gates buying land, etc. I could go on and on with examples.

But the thing is, I got shitty grades in my college econ courses. It's laughable to me that all the highly educated people at central banks somehow haven't thought of this but I have. I'm being serious, I'm kind of a lazy idiot. By any reasonable measure, I expect that I'm wrong.

Could you point me in the direction of some primary sources that address the relationship between interest rate intervention and price discovery? I've been told to pick up an undergrad macro text, but those all just seem to say "low rates = easier to get loans = mo' jobz" without any rigor.

Open market ops and other interventions are so common and accepted, the only other people I see complaining are precious metals schizos. Surely there's a theoretical foundation for the policy/practice.
100% agree with Vanusa.

FWIW, the initial boost of happiness derived from living in nice accomodations is shortlived, after a few weeks or a month you'll likely feel about the same as before you got the nicer digs.

Once I experienced and internalized this lesson, I was able to stop caring much about my house (just keep it clean and as comfy as possible) and instead focus on the amazing people in my life who genuinely care about connecting with me regardless of fancy house circumstance. In this way it's actually a highly effective filter facilitating minimization of superficial relationships.
I have actually used this thing several times to jump a car. It works great.

>I’ve been asking for an “eat vegetables” interface without the “offer dessert in exchange” workaround

Perhaps "not eating vegetables" shouldn't have been presented as an option, but instead "we eat what is on offer today, there is no special menu".

More often than not, it's spoiling the kid with sweets, pizza, or perhaps just cooking their favorite dishes on demand every time (as opposed to as a love gesture once in a while), that prevents them from enjoying and appreciating a wider range of food.

Once somebody has been hooked on the quick-fix of a burger, for example, it's difficult to learn to appreciate the deeper textures, tastes, etc. of vegetables and other more refined recipes.
It's a shame that this is the case for 99% of alternative browsers and forks. Sometimes I think the only solution would be to embrace something like Gopher, where hostile sites aren't feasible and browsers are free to diversify without constant maintenance.

Yeah, strikes me as one of those things that should be accepted without that “link” - like really, the suicide rate just went up that much, and we’re gonna assume it was _not_ related to COVID/quarantine?

Feels like it should be accepted.
Parents aren't home-schooling... they're trying to keep working full-time while their kids sit on the computer and try to learn over zoom. There's no comparison.
That doesn't add up. Cycling for 3 hours at 80 watts should only burn about 860 kcal, not 1500.

>I'm not scared of doing the work, or putting in the hours.

Maybe the fear isn't in doing the work, but in doing the work and still failing?
When I was a kid there was a big earthquake where I lived and my life was disrupted for a few weeks. Many decades later I still have latent trauma from that incident.

Children involved in situations like accidents, wars, disasters and abuse need years and sometimes lifelong therapy to deal with it. We are kidding ourselves if we think that the long list of behavioral changes we are starting to see in kids is simply attributed to keeping them at home, and when school reopens they will magically get back to normal. They have been exposed to non-stop disruption, illness, death and uncertainty for two years now.

Whether the covid pandemic goes away or not, a mental health one is upon us soon.
It's also useful for signaling between processes to have them continue doing something as long as this proc path exists (the fd can also just be backed with >/dev/null instead of a real file that needs to be removed)
> You can however "pause" the mining forever while keeping everything installed which is what support will suggest if you ask.

Just to clarify because this sentence sounds a bit misleading -- according to https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v... the cryptocurrency miner is off by default, so if you haven't turned it on, then there's no need to pause it if you don't want it running.
If you need to stop super fast you lean back so hard you're actually dragging the tail. There's a reason a lot of people put additional plastic armor on the bottom of these things.
That’s fair. I apologize.

This particular business and the overall NFT market comes across as snake oil to me (and a lot of other people).

I question the ethics of it. Perhaps a snarky comment wasn’t the appropriate way to express that.

Kudos to their team for capitalizing on it though.
New years brings forward thought of life and death, all the more so with the wave of Omicron so many people are dealing with.

I diverge from the author's understandably unhappy perspective. Death isn't an end of the literal energy and parts that make up people, only in our ability to perceive and act on them. It's the end of counting minutes or years, in essence. The human mind can conceive of that, that upon death time ceases to be a crawl and zips forward seamlessly and limitlessly until or unless something ... reconstitutes the parts, energy and pattern that makes each of us human. It's hard preparing for death, I sympathize with the author, but it's also hard living with some understanding of how limited and temporary our lives and worlds may be.
Battery packs are usually marketed with their capacity in milliamp-hours. I thought the 15-20k mAh made it pretty clear that we were taking about a 15000-20000 mAh battery pack.
There’s no warning sign for CO2 risk that will work for a non-expert. You have to go for the basics (“risk of suffocation and death”) at that point, because no one knows that you can drown in CO2.

Learn from them. Clearly some of your friends are doing things right so try to absorb "knowledge", or even get one to invest in an idea of yours perhaps.

Otherwise, find some new friends and stop torturing yourself.
Just wait until the automatic over-the-air updates kick in and the Small Child becomes Teenage Child without your consent.

You had shitty management.
This is an attempt at manufacturing consensus by making it seem like these arguments are coming “from the adults in the room” because it’s in the NYTimes. They’re so good at gaslighting their readers (and I say this coming from the left of the NYT, not the right).

You’ll start to see liberal politicians using these same talking points in the coming weeks, guaranteed.
South Africa has absurdly higher seroprevalence though, which generally provides higher protection.
I wonder how all those kids with long covid will view decisions to physically disable them potentially for life so the state could force their parents to work.

I wonder how kids mental health copes with the idea that adults will intentionally expose them and others to a deadly disease with no mitigations to make money.
Visit NYC but try to take a train from somewhere in brooklyn to somewhere in the bronx without having to spend almost an hour with a transfer in midtown manhattan. Even in NYC the rail network is primarily oriented toward you having a 9-5 job in midtown or lower manhattan, and everyone else gets served nearly an hour commute transferring on busses or trains.
Another case of technical debt resulting in therapy?
The maintenance of several products in different lifecycle phases is a huge issue for us. Different failure modes, different protocols for providing feedback, and different basic maintenance needs. For example, v1 requires the users to manage reading homework, the v2 requires bedtime stories, v3 requires diaper changes and milk, all simultaneously. This adds a lot of operational complexity for our already overwhelmed team, since they have to triage several different issue streams and context switch between them.
Thank you for the detailed response. I'm afraid you totally misunderstood my comment. I said: "Nobody denies lockdowns have damaging effects in other areas."

What I'm saying is, is that lockdowns technically work. Keep everyone inside (including the delivery guy) and spreading will be reduced. Let's take this one step further. What if we could (hypothetically) isolate the entire planet for 1 month. We might just completely irradicate a whole bunch of deceases. But of course it would come at a cost.

Lockdowns are just one of the tools we have at our disposal. There's no doubt they work. Viruses don't spread telepathically. This in itself is nothing to be skeptical about. The only question is if the benefits outweigh the costs. A better name for the sub would perhaps have been: /r/lockdownpolicyskepticism
Nothing wrong with loving learning, but I can't help but think "You need better friends". Personally I was in the best space in my university years, plenty of intelligent people around, almost all of them more knowledgeable than myself in many areas, so never a boring conversation if you can get people talking. And part of learning is testing your ideas and understanding with others, after all.
It's not human connection. It is SEO fluff. Made up garbage.

> 4.2% unemployment rate, which is amazing given where we were a year ago

That's not exactly an accurate way to describe what's happening...

Look at the 25 year trends:

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/employed-persons

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/employment-rate

59% of the population is currently employed, down from 65% in 2000. We're down ~2.5% from where we were in 2020. Which doesn't exactly seems to jive with the reported "unemployment rate" - https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate

In 2020, 158M were employed, now 155M are employed (with millions increase in population). We're probably looking at a gap of at least 5 million.

Average working hours have not increased:

> This doesn't seem very workable in a practical sense. It seems like this could be spoofed fairly easily or the business service gets hacked

You could give keys to two businesses / people and require them both to agree before they can "unlock" the account. You could also add a timelock, so you have time to respond if they get hacked or collude against you.

These aren't really new ideas and exist in existing, non-crypto social recovery schemes.
Long before that, they were vilified on 4chan's /biz/ board for being a tongue-in-cheek representation of "old money", so to speak.
It is obvious what will happen. The education system will crumble, inequality will grow, and to make up for having a poorly educated work force we will adopt more automation or AI-assisted tasks with very structured workflows to reduce cognitive requirements. Only elites will be able to afford giving their children strong educations and social experiences, presumably with other elite children. This will allow some children to pursue high status high skill careers while the rest must settle for whatever they can grab.

At the same time, children will increasingly grow to be emotionally underdeveloped, leading to poor romantic relationships filled with toxicity, leaving them perpetually unsatisfied with life and cynical of others. Poor quality breeding will become rampant and add to the problem.
It really is amazing how much the state of the art in hub motors has come since 2012. Building silly electric vehicles is almost too easy now that you no longer need to wind your own motor and write your own bldc commutation firmware...
Mind you that's 3100mAh at 12V. That's roughly 7400mAh at 5V (USB voltage).
Small correction but for some movies you might need to adjust the timings more than once if the subs run in a different sync to the video, it's tied to the video FPS and subs might start drifting if they're synced up against another copy of the movie that has a different FPS.
An honest conversation with them can do a lot. You can explain how you are really happy for them, but at the same time feel bad about your personal situation. If they really are good friends, they will understand. At least you would’ve gotten it off your chest and can take the next best step to maintain your sanity - whether that’s reducing your interaction with them, or getting their help with financial planning.

Why aren't the low death rates for the 0-17 cohort enough?
I find wealth mostly about luck more than any other qualifier.

You sound just like me. I am in the same boat, but come from a business-focused background. I've convinced myself that I will never code well-enough to start something. Then a week later, I start a new Flask tutorial.

It isn't a preference nor choice. It is direct experience. More than half of my life i was using public transportation in USSR/Russia, no issues, we'd take our cats/dogs when needed. Not the case in US.

>How many of the people who cannot take transit are capable of safely driving cars?

It doesn't matter how many (though a lot of people for example develop back issues by mid age and beyond so prolonged walking/standing is much harder than sitting in the car especially after a workday). The point is you just dismiss them. And this is why those tone-deaf public transportation proponents like you aren't going anywhere - you dismiss all those supposedly small groups and thus as a result left with pretty much no support.

And just a bit of meta to illustrate the point - notice that i'm telling you about the issues with your approach and instead of addressing them, you're dismissing them outright as supposedly just "my preferences".

Yes all my friends are good friends, often for more than 30 years. Kind people who care and value our friendship. It just happens that they’re now becoming very wealthy - its made none of them less kind or good people.

The only possible thing they could be said to do “wrong” is not hide their good fortune, nor understand that telling me they just made $1,000,000 makes me feel bad, not welcoming me into their homes.
How explicit is their agreement compared to the usual dark pattern of "guess which one of these five checkboxes is optional"?
I can’t parse this objection. One of my failed attempts reads “My gasoline tank should have the same safety processes as electric cars”, which is obviously not a valid interpretation. My gas tank isn’t deadly for me to touch, so I’m quite lost if that’s what you meant instead.

Help me understand what you mean?
I have come across too many managers who fixate on a goal. Uusually set with too short a timeframe and insufficient budget (both money and resources). Then they constantly harangue the team to deliver on their expectations. Generally, such managers are trying to impress their higher ups with their management talent.

The only solution I know of is to look for a new job. At the same time push back on the demands. Helps to have no concern whether you get fired or end up quitting before the new job comes through.
This reminds me of The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker [1]. David Linden gives a biological explanation for the psychological idea presented by Becker.

Great write up! I am the author of the TP2.0 page you linked to. I went through a very similar process to you, ended up disassembling the code for a Siemens PPD ECU (PowerPC architecture from memory, it was about 10 years ago) so I could turn of the DPF regeneration functionality.
I'm not in the US, but the home-schooling comparison is not fair from my Australian experience of it.

In home schooling a parent teaches the kids, full time, with no pressure from their day job.

In pandemic home schooling, the parent probably is trying to do a job at the same time (or do a shift to suit or something?) is stressed out, and is not setting the curriculum - instead the teacher is setting the day's agenda via a zoom call or two, and the kids have to follow the exercises after. Some of these exercises may not make sense to the parents.

The parents don't get any advance "teachers notes" or inkling of what is coming, the exercises appear and if the kid is stuck you need to figure out how to help them.

In summary pandemic remote schooling is not home schooling for 2 reasons. One is the parents probably have their main job to do. Two is the parents are not teaching, they are at best a teachers assistant who is badly prepped.

The club is affordable. What makes it exclusive is the intellectual alignment required to unlock the value of the information. Not everyone has that. If you have it, consider joining the club while you are still alive so you can enjoy the benefits of membership and fraternity with people like you. After that brief period expires, the club will be truly exclusive for a long time.
I like one-wheel type devices but will always prefer electric unicycles. They have more range [0], more safety over large bumps (due to a larger wheel and facing forward) and are easier to carry around when you're walking. Unfortunately, due to liability laws in america most of the EUC manufacturers are based in China. I CANNOT wait for an american company to start producing EUC's!

I learned to ride an InMotion V8 [1] during the pandemic, and although there was a significant learning curve, it's now my favorite way to get around new york city. Definitely wear a full face helmet and wrist pads though if you decide to learn to ride!

Oof, I totally understand why it's an absolute contraindication (the hit that cancer gives to expected lifespan just seems too strong to justify such a scarce transplant), but it definitely feels like a double-whammy.

To a future with long-term viable artificial vital organs!
No argument here. I should probably have switched teams, since some of my friends who are still at Apple seem to have had a better experience.
Depends on the terrain. Last year there was a case in the local news of a guy who died out in Death Valley when he tried to hoof it after a breakdown. His objective was less than 10 miles from his car.

I know something of the terrain and even without looking at a map my first reaction to what he attempted was that it would be impossible even by survival standards. I do not believe the terrain could be traversed even with mountaineering gear. (Too much of it is loose material near the maximum stable angle--it won't bear weight.)
> The children are the future, and in order to secure a positive growth in society it is our obligation to give them their very important education.

Great, so just set up a fund to compensate teachers and daycare workers who get long covid in order to pay their salary and medical expenses for the rest of their lives if they're unable to work.
Agree. Their business model isn't a business model. A recipe to the audience we're talking about is worth...nothing. So you're building a business model on something that has near-zero value. And try to still get some value out of it regardless:

"Essays meanwhile allow bloggers to make money off search engine optimization (or SEO, which scans the essays for keywords and relevant search terms) and ads allow the blog to remain free for readers."

So here they openly admit to the hack. This entire fraud is one app or google algorithm tweak away from being annihilated.
