i don't think the fed's real mandate is price stability and full employment, those are nice to haves and they have to say that so they aren't run out of town on a rail but

My belief is that printing trillions of dollars and growing the money supply by 40% in a short period of time has impacted asset prices, and now consumer prices.

If covid impacted other things (i.e. business), why are all asset prices up well above pre-covid levels.

The impact of the money printing outweighs any other covid impacts. Nothing covid related should tell us that Manhattan real estate should be above pre-covid levels w/ work from home, lockdowns and overall decrease in quality of life. It's the money supply
And technically if you hit someone in the head with a hammer than it's the hammer that's hitting the head, and not you. It's a meaningless distinction made in bad faith.

Hyperinflation begins when everyone decides this is wise and starts taking too many loans.
As usual, take headlines about inflation with a grain of salt.

Yes, the year-over-year inflation reached a new peak. But the month-over-month inflation rate has actually been declining since last October: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm

So when organizations publish a new article every month saying inflation is "accelerating", they're being incredibly misleading.
There are many competing theories for this inflation:

1. The increase in money supply.

2. Supply chain bottlenecks.

3. Corporate greed & tech monopolies.

4. Fundamental supply constraints. (mostly in the housing sector)

Anybody trying to tell you that it's only or primarily one of them has a political motivation. It's all 4, with the first 2 being primary and both being important.

To effectively solve inflation we need to attack all 4.
> One big source of evidence is that people go out of their way to avoid ads.

Not really, or actually people hate excessive in-your-face advertising which unfortunately is the dominant form now online, but at the same time the loss in paper-based and other "traditional" advertising has plateaued, even during these times. In other words, there's indeed a tolerance point for most people for advertising, the online ad market however definitely crossed the line for a lot of people.
I was thinking about buying a truck recently and I got this bit of advice: "a loan is a hedge against inflation". More specifically, a fixed interest rate loan is a hedge against inflation.

You are borrowing at an initial dollar value of A (in terms of inflation), and servicing your debt at a fixed rate, for a fixed time. During that time the value of the dollar decreases, and you now have a value of <<<A.

This presumes that your income/cashflow will stay the same or increase slightly during the borrowing period.
No, this is like blaming the manufacturer of the hammer.

They also had a completely separate o365 offering called Microsoft Cloud Germany that failed due to lack of interest (and the fact that it was years behind the global platform, I say), which was finally shut down last year, with everyone who renewed their contract automatically being migrated off.

They're working on it, but still not everything is entirely regional.
Definitely, but I also consider that a good thing. What I really never liked about most tools for creating media is they try and do way too much. My mindset is close to that of UNIX philosophy, thus I like that out of all the 3D/CAD tools I've used, OpenSCAD pretty much does one thing out of the box... and does it adequately. I like that it doesn't pretend it can do everything I want, but when there's something I need it to do, like add threads or screws to a project, there's probably a library for that because OpenSCAD is already code-oriented rather than the code coming second.

dotSCAD looks dope! I hadn't heard of it, but now I know what I'll be playing with next time I spin up my 3D printer.
> i don't think the fed's real mandate is price stability and full employment, those are nice to haves and they have to say that so they aren't run out of town on a rail but

No that's literally their mandate.

The Federal Reserve Act mandates that the Federal Reserve conduct monetary policy "so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates."

What matters for inflation isn't just money, but the quantity of money and credit (thanks Ray Dalio for explaining this).

The fed correctly predicted in early 2020 that there'd be a massive drop in lending (at least short-term), so eased, hard, so that money+credit would remain relatively constant (much less credit, so much more money was needed). I read last year that something like 26% of then-existing M2 (central bank + bank deposits) was created in 2020/2021. That's insane.

Yet somehow, a year later, after a major pandemic, only a bit of inflation is showing up.

People should give a fed more credit. They managed this thing pretty well. The whole thing feels like trying to adjust the temperature in the shower from 50 feet away with a long stick and a bit of string, and someone yelling "turn it up" or "turn it down". There is so much noise everywhere, it's very difficult.
Do you really want people to stereotype all Germans as Nazis and Holocaust deniers? Because I'm pretty sure this is what would end up happening if the German government did not go to the trouble of explicitly banning these things, regardless of how few people actually advocated them. It's practically a free boost in optics and national pride that benefits pretty much all Germans at basically zero cost, because it's only banning the most obscenely offensive and pointless idiocy. (Yes, Holocaust denial is idiotic - the evidence of it in German archives and elsewhere is utterly overwhelming. The remaining question wrt. history is whether Hitler and the Nazis actually planned even worse genocides than what they ended up doing, and the most likely answer is yes, they absolutely did.)
It's not clear to me what is allowed.

First, yes, I am fortunate. I recognize that.

Yes, the plumber will charge me more. No, you would not be able to determine that if you had my financial records, because I don't spend an appreciable fraction of my income on plumbers (or lawn care, or electricians, or other home services outside of child care).

The same applies to electricity and gas; the expenses are there, but a 10% rise in all of my utilities is still not meaningful in my overall budget. For comparison, I can easily see a 10% swing in annual heating bills based solely on the average temperature during 3 months of the year.

Yes, I am impacted by all the same things you are. But my health insurance expense dropped 3% and that dwarfs all the other category increases. This is why the BLS weighs their basket.

If that were really the goal then they would never publish the information in the first place. Instead they are apparently scrubbing it _after_ they leave. That's not preventing another company from using the data when hiring you away, that's being petty and erasing you from their history for the most part.

We've been pumping money into the economy with no regard to long term inflation since the Obama administration. We've gotten so use to it, we've even started to come up with financial theroies that debt spending a increasing monetary supply doesn't matter - print what you need.

Modern monetary theory ain't. Ask the Romans, the Spanish and the Germans how well that worked for them.
Ask HN: How do you find (again) joy in software dev with so much setup?
It takes days to set up the development environment. There are never ending libraries, frameworks, settings to do. Hours upon hours goes in configuring these and they are so finicky. One missed configuration somewhere can ruin one's day.

All I want to do is write code and do creative work. How do you get over this? How do you find joy (or at least not hate) in development again?
Evaluating these things at runtime is absurd. It was absurd when deno wanted to do it and it’s absurd now. People keep equating the threat model of npm and url imports, but with npm the untrusted code gets downloaded at build time, so tools like snyk can scan it and flag problems. Is snyk supposed to intercept the live download and patch files now?

Are the policy integrity checks they mention in the PR allow or block lists? For example, if my malicious trojan module does a dynamic import, can it bypass a saved integrity check by adding a cache bust url parameter?

Honestly, I don’t think the idea of URL imports is inherently bad. Go manages with them pretty reasonably. However, go only processes them at build time. My docker image from node might run today and break tomorrow because it’s allowed to change the remote code it runs day to day.
A naive NPV calculation discounts a cash flow by a real discount rate:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/npv.asp

when the discount rate is 0, the NPV is simply the sum of all payments in the series, so an infinite series of payments (e.g. rental income) is worth infinity

in reality, bad stuff happens: building burn down, renters leave, etc. so the right thing to do is to discount the payment stream by some risk function, particular far off payments

So, I have only been working in htmx for about a week on a multi step checkout app, and while it's been mostly awesome, I think I ran into the Achilles heel of htmx, form state and the back button.

In short of you enter data into a form then htmx push navigate away, when you click the browser back button you get the dom as it was originally delivered from the server, without any data the user might have entered into text boxes. This is a show stopper problem and been working on work arounds, not sure any is good. Basically we have resorted to plain old full page reloads with client side redirect to resolve this.

> It will take forever to build up a similar ecosystem in Europe

And even then it seems risky the EU will deem the business model entirely in violation of privacy laws. It's very chilling

When the EU finally completes their utopian/dystopian ideas of privacy from foreign Internet services, the great firewall of Europe, perhaps then EU regulators will look inward and do the same things?

But for now it all has the appearance of disfavoring International Internet services, as if to encourage regional tech companies to advance.

Which seems reasonable, Europe seems to have lost most of it's Tech companies, and that's a problem that needs to be fixed. It's just weird to go about the problem by claiming International companies are in violation.
After the Berlin Wall fell. That was one of Lenin's "weeks where decades happen", and the decade that happened in that week was the 90s, when the United States believed it had won the world forever and behaved accordingly.
Yes this seems to be a common distinction made in the US, which I also don't understand.
What I learned in politics at school (and studying it for a short time) was that republic and democracy are orthogonal concepts (leds leave out the federal which seems to be even another dimension).

A republic essentially means, the state doesn't have a king (head of state by inheritancel, but some sort of president which gets elected in some way (not necessary by the population). A democracy is a category of how decisions get made, i.e. by some vote of the people (demos).

Is there some subtlety I'm missing or is this thing about "federal Republic not democracy" something just always repeated, without properly understanding it.

Actually android do exact the same thing these days.

There used to be a loop hole that any app can read sd card.
But it is also sealed since android 10. Now every app see different rootfs.

> then a proprietary program can prevent interoperability simply by not actively enabling it

These doesn't really matter, a proprietary program can always break interoperability as long as they want. Did you see the old ms word .doc format? Even other version of ms word can't read it correctly, let alone any third party programs.
Right. I know they have to say that. But I think they are lying.

> I never understood why most people assume that humans today are, on average, more intelligent than our ancestors 40,000 years ago.

Evolution of our species continues and some changes in our anatomy are being observed even in the last 100 years of our history. The evolutionary pressure never stopped, it just changed its form. We are no longer competing with nature, we are competing with ourselves, adjusting our diet, exposure to seasonal weather, sun and fresh air, physical activities and mental challenges. I would say yes, we may have become more intelligent, even if we lost our connection to nature. We just use our intelligence for different things: our society, our language are much more sophisticated, our abstract thinking and creativity have advanced, some of us may have got more control over our bodies (I’m pretty sure modern athletes are more developed than our ancestors).

I only experienced issues with OpenSCADs STLs if I used `difference()` with overlapping surfaces (aka when it flickers in the preview). Even then the slicer's repair feature fixed it.

For me the main limitation in OpenSCAD is the UI: distance labels along the XYZ axes are unreadable when they overlap with a surface, transparency only works with one object at a time. Also I'd love highlighted edges in the preview & split view, it would make alignment of parts so much easier.

Still I'm so much more productive in it than e.g. FreeCAD because I have most of what I need memorized and the rest can be looked up on the one-page cheatsheet.

>you would notice

I don't think this is a good metric. For fun and entertainment, it works, but lots of contexts need more than that. Take an example of lossy audio, like MP3. People are generally fine with 128k mp3s, but I doubt audio engineers would want to store masters in that format and bitrate.

In case of colorization, the issue is that the color really is lost on the film. Multiple shades of different colors map to the same shade of grey on black and white media - my favorite example is that B&W TV make-up was bright green. So them no matter what you do, it'll be just a conjecture of what the original color might have been.

I don't think this can be solved by just tweaking interest rates. The fact is there are a lot more dollars in the field chasing the same number of products. Making it marginally more expensive to borrow money won't sop up enough dollars to prevent price inflation.

Don't you love it how banks are not raising their interest rates on savings accounts? I remember in 2007 I was getting 4% on my savings accounts. There's nowhere to park your money and earn a return even approaching inflation. Why not just front-load your future purchases and further drive inflation?
