Already in 1918, shortly after World War I, when
everybody talked about peace and many international organizations
were created to secure that peace, Gesell published the following
warning in a letter to the editor of the newspaper "Zeitung am Mittag" in
Berlin:

"In spite of the holy promise of all people to banish war, once and
for all, in spite of the cry of millions 'Never a war again,' in spite of
all the hopes for a better future, I have this to say: If the present
monetary system, based on interest and compound interest,
remains in operation, I dare to predict today, that it will take less
than 25 years for us to have a new and even worse war. I can
foresee the coming development clearly. The present degree of
technological advancement will quickly result in a record
performance of industry. The build-up of capital will be rapid in
spite of the enormous losses during the war, and through its over-
supply will lower the interest rate. Money will then be hoarded.
Economic activities will diminish and increasing numbers of
unemployed persons will roam the streets; within the discontented
masses wild, revolutionary ideas will arise and also the poisonous
plant called "Super-Nationalism" will proliferate. No country will
understand the other, and the end can only be war again. (28)"

The only good news is that our fractional reserve system is not as rigid as a gold standard. I.e. we will get a silent depression rather than a great depression.
Cool product. If I was in your innovation team you know what idea I would suggest? Adversarial compatibility!

Support indexing internal stuff for enterprises. Let's say I have a kagi enterprise account and my company had integrations setup. When I search for something, I would get results from internal wiki, email , sharepoint, etc... along with internet results. One stop shop for search.

I hope you read this and give it serious consideration. You wanna kill google? This is how!
I don't see how anyone is worse off in that system?

It's a huge step up for everyone that is unemployed or on crappy minimum-wage insurance. Even if it's "only" on par with the worst of the US system, it still grants you the freedom to switch jobs and a better negotiating position for other benefits. And everyone that has better insurance can presumably just pay out of pocket to get better-than-minimum.
So what it has on die ECC which allows to recover from radiation induced bitflips and stuff. Maybe to compensate for density the error correction is a bit more busy and can compensate less errors per minute but 0.5 ECC instead of full ECC on DDR4 (no random errors due to density) is still an improvement for most people in terms of immunity to unlucky cosmic rays.
How difficult is it to integrate a AA battery recharger into the design? That'd be the best of both worlds, as all you need is the (5V) power pins from the USB cable to charge.

Sam, do you personally plan to live in the kind of community y'all are aiming to create?

A scaled denser version of the house linked in your post doesn't seem like particularly appealing scenario for individuals, in the long run.

I'm not really an OOP or Python defender, and generally agree that this type of constructor is inscrutable, frustrating, and quite common in the Python ecosystem.

That said, I would not consider default mock values in a constructor to be good OOP. In general, "new"ing things in a constructor IMO is a no-go and makes for harder testing and confusing behavior.

At the end of the day I'm not even sure why this class supports mock behavior. I'd expect two separate classes with divorced implementations, instead of an if statement on a boolean param.

> limiting prosecutorial and law enforcement discretion

For instance, right now the issue of Cuomo's prosecution is in the news[0]. The prosecutor dropped the charges because it looks like it will be hard to get a conviction. Is this corruption or is this protection of limited resources? It's really hard to say from the outside and it seems like either interpretation could be legitimate without knowing more. Someone has to make the call, grand juries do something like this, but it's not the job of a grand jury to balance limited resources. Any imaginable system will have flaws.

I don't think you're wrong, and I do think it's a line of thinking worth pursuing.

I've considered it for some special things, mainly the F14 hash table because I needed a highly performant implementation (I ended up writing a custom one that takes advantage of domain knowledge to go faster). It seems that it has classes and constructs not available in other libraries. A lot of them are very specific, but at that point having a reliable, tested, fast implementation of a complex implementation might be worth the hassle of bringing in a new dependency.
Nah a lot of Delta cases where reinfections, I can't believe we are still arguing about wether COVID mutations can reinfect only because of McCullough.

Of course if you only look at the "variants of concern" that the media talks about you basically have to wait years until you have like 4 or 5 variants that went all around the world to see how common it is for it to mutate in a way that can reinfect, but considering Delta reinfections where common and now Omicron is also reinfecting everyone, I would just not loose any more time listening to McCullough. Note he says its _impossible_, not rare or weird or strange, _impossible_. He actually called bullshit on Rogan because Rogan said his friend got it twice because he got Delta and the first variant.

All of our sewage waste treatment could provide two things methane and fertilizer. Most treatment plants are aerobic so they don't produce methane. But, every treatment plant could provide fertilizer if regulations in the area allowed it and people bought it.

I would like to see a shift to anaerobic sewage treatment to produce methane for fuel everywhere that humans live. I have been thinking about what it would take to convert my septic tank to an anaerobic digester for many months. I would love to replace my propane supply with methane produced from my own shit. On a larger scale I believe that my remote community could similarly replace a large portion of the imported propane with natural gas if we had an anaerobic sewage treatment plant.

Can't pay off your house with a HELOC.

If your goal is to pay for college or buy a boat, HELOCs can be great.

Competitive Senior Eng packages in this market are ~$350-500k (incl equity), and the fully loaded cost to hire is probably something closer to $1m per engineer.

Yes $100M is a lot in absolute terms, but depending on what you're trying to achieve, how many people you need to achieve it, and what your timeline is, $100M might not be so crazy in context.
PiS maintains power through a process similar to gerrymandering. Their base is at around 30% and they acquired power by strategically crafting a message specifically aimed at appealing to the most vulnerable and uneducated segment of the population. Their core promise is a vision of family- and country-first and glory for the heroes of a vague past. In practice PiS rules by causing controversy after controversy which effectively splits the opposition and media, and mostly covers up for the dumbest corruption schemes ever. Most Poles have a distaste for Western European neoliberal politics and are center-right conservative if not libertarian with some liberal, but at this point everybody knows PiS is just filled with cynical and opportunistic apparatchiks. The worst part is that the people who control PiS are simply wicked clever. They’ve spent the last six years continuously running a never-ending political campaign with their media at full blast, and a stand-in president who is constantly traveling and visiting key-towns to meet-greet the communities. Right when they took power in 2015 they reformed the Supreme Court by firing a bunch of judges and installing loyalists effectively breaking the constitution. It’s like a dictatorship of stupid. And what must be said: it’s not that Poland is turning into an actual fascist dictatorship, not that much violence is happening and our political views aren’t being really repressed. The real problem is that PiS is actually strategically weakening us as a country and nation. Especially in our international relationships. This Pegasus spyware is only yet another such example of the BS. In my own personal opinion, at this point PiS has been doing everything so poorly that I suspect that they’re actually being supported and controlled by external adversaries behind the scenes.
This is exactly why I miss IMDB's "I need to know" board. You could post a partially correct memory snippet from decades ago and someone would chime in with the answer. I had memories of movies I'd watched on TV as a young child. I had no name or context, but simply little moments stuck in my brain, and someone was able to resolve those to a title.

The closing of the IMDB message boards was a terrible loss IMO. You could visit an obscure actors message board, and you might run into someone who knew them. You could discuss a movie's intricacies with someone, and share theories, etc, on the specific board for that movie. It was a goldmine for movie fans, and I still miss it.
Thank you for the interesting perspective! You and I sound fairly similar in terms of symptoms.

For the anxiety I went with a book that someone recommended to me on HN called, "Learned Optimism". I went from having moderate to severe anxiety for decades to pretty much zero. It's work, but was tremendously worth it.

I have spent time on solving procrastination with less success. Most notable was reading, "Solving the Procrastination Puzzle". For me the most successful technique is "Just get started". I think I have two issues that cause me to not start on things: 1) before it's started, it's a perfect little idea. after starting, it leads to imperfect compromises to get it done. 2) I fear it will be harder than it actually is. "Just get started" pushes through both of these for me.

This is an irrelevant criticism. The claim I was originally responding to was that "Neither cloud computing nor 80% of the desktop world run on M1, regardless how great they might be"

I think it's pretty clear I shot that all to hell by pointing out that M1 is ARM, and ARM is going everywhere, now and in the future.

Now, it's quite possible that the architectural details you point out may be design foibles for most workloads in just the Graviton2 series, but the writing is on the wall, the other 3 walls, the floor, and the ceiling that the near future is not x64 but some combination of ARM and RISC-V

It was true for several years, because Intel got "stuck" on Skylake due to issues in their manufacturing.

Well, voters capped their ability to make money on property tax, so is that the state's fault? (Also it has a budget surplus?)

What is the better measurement, % of total administered dose or the ug/g concentration? The latter shows a relatively high does for some organs, particularly liver, spleen, and ovaries. As a layman, it seems like the latter would be the better metric as it's a normalized value but I assume you chose the former for a valid reason.
> The new house on the split lot has a sale value of $1.5M

Maybe I'm just not understanding this right, but does this mean that that example house which currently is estimated at a $1.3M value would be split into two, each with a market price of $1.5M, despite both having half the lot size? How does that work?

And shouldn't the house next door then logically sell for 3M based on lot size?

Sorry if I'm missing something.
Businesses are supposed to be sophisticated enough that they should be allowed to spend ~3% more of revenue on customer acquisition if they want to.

> Far right attitudes are no less common in Russia, including the Russian armed forces

What is the base of that assertion?

Also, it seems to me that good old, practically a hundred years old meme based, "left-right" model is not really applicable to CIS countries. Nazism and it's symbolics has kind of a very specific set of connotations, at least in eastern slavic culture.

Though we can enjoy diving in moral and statistical relativism, it seems to me that openly endorsing neo-nazism on a governmental level, up to using nazi symbolics in heraldics, is a red flag that is pretty hard to challenge in it's groutesque. Besides, it's not like "Azov" is an isolated incident, just something more flashing. The issue of language is another great thorn, but you really need to understand the context and the sentiment.

In any case, we digress. It's not like this is the issue of Russian armed forces, it's an issue of what and why served as the catalyst for some people not to accept the new government, after the previous one was overthrown.

Besides, the way it was handled is what really sealed the deal. E.g I have a video of this event https://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/03/world/europe/ukraine-luha... and it's a bloody mess of screaming, blood and just looks like a terrorist attack. This one actually also gives an interesting angle to the MH17 disaster, which happened just after that air strike. In fact, the more I look at the dates, the more I wonder how the hell did the Ukraininan government conduct air-bound military operations on some territory, but still direct civillian planes over this territory.

You can achieve a significant portion (if not more) of the things that people use multiple cursors for in other editors (or even in vim) with just plain vim regular expressions and other features. Every time I've used multiple-cursors (either in vim or other editors) I've found it just plain slower, less precise and less powerful than plain vim commands. I would recommend looking at the features vim has to offer and learning them to see if maybe they can make up for the lack of native multiple-cursors support.

> the humans who are positioned to weather it deserve to have their resources and land redistributed to said victims because of climate change.

I mean, can you really disagree with the logic of this? The richest are likely to be the ones who have consumed the most and who have thus contributed most to climate change, and also they have the most resources available to help mitigate the problems they've caused. Given that they've benefited most from society, and have the most to lose if society collapses, they should be keen to pay their fair share (i.e. in proportion to their net wealth).

You may not like "committees of appointed politically aligned experts", but if they are appointed by democratically elected representatives (and unless you can point to some experts that are free from any political alignment), I'm not sure who would be better at making decisions for how resources are distributed to solve societal problems.

(For what it's worth, I thought your earlier comment about "controlled demolition of western economies" was thought-provoking, so I upvoted it).
I'd guess a lot of C projects nowadays have very conservative management (most of which might even be actual programmers) and they could operate under "it works good enough, don't you dare touch it!".

> The fact that we are talking about this decision in terms of price implies these are normal, purchasable commodities whose relative prices are reasonably stable, and that monetary expense is a significant concern.

Are trip prices "reasonably stable"? Isn't there actually a huge seasonal variance, last-minute offers and so on?

> Of course there are situations where you can't or wouldn't want to buy the same thing at a later point in time, but in general you can.

The example is about trips, which - at least in my experience - are usually chosen based on a huge set of variable incentives to go at specific time to a specific place.

Anyway, the article gives no reason to assume that "the circumstances in the future are essentially the same (ie equal) as they are now" - it actually gives a reason to assume that there are other incentives than the price and doesn't mention whether they change or not in the future - so we can't assume that they won't (and even if we could, it would still be irrelevant to the point it's trying to convey - all it talks about is that autistic people are apparently more likely to take those other circumstances into account, which can lead to a different outcome).
>Nobody owes more money than the rich. This is true of countries as well.

This is completely incorrect. The rich are net lenders. They are also net interest recipients.

The companies they own are also net lenders.
