Relatedly, what one might call "climate policy proponents" tend to hate and criticize Musk and Tesla above all others, which is strange considering the tremendous positive impact he has enacted precisely in reducing carbon dependence and transitioning humanity to green technology.
A couple of thoughts (may be wrong, interested in the discussion)

When the government borrows money it borrows it at an interest rate. When rates are low, like close to 0% low like they are now, that's exactly when you want to borrow money. Want to fix bridges and invest in things? Now is the time to borrow money to do that. It also has the added benefit of making past debt cheaper. This scenario that we're in is made even more interesting by the fact that many governments also had to print tons and tons of money. While we're now over 100% debt-to-GDP, it's not unheard of and not so catastrophic that we can't recover from.

I'm also unsure about rising wages here. If they continue to rise won't prices continue to rise to reflect wages? I'm also of the opinion that slow sales from 2020/2021 + supply chain issues have caused companies to raise prices. I don't think cereal actually needs to be more expensive. Shareholders do though.
When you have to write propaganda about a thing that's long-term been identified as "bad," (with ample historical examples) actually being a good thing, you're being willfully dishonest and in denial.

Many here will fight and bicker and kick and scream but Bitcoin is the only solution to the absolute ruin being dangled over the millenial and younger generations (primarily because it disconnects state/human control of the currency and programmatically enforces a cap on issuance while ensuring transparency and consensus on a global level).

>Volume != neurons

Exactly. Most of the newer research on this topic suggests that it's neural connection complexity, and specifically frontal lobe volume, rather than overall brain size that determines intelligence or brain power.

https://neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/ask-neuroscientist-do...

>Luckily, there is much more to a brain when you look at it under a microscope, and most neuroscientists now believe that the complexity of cellular and molecular organization of neural connections, or synapses, is what truly determines a brain’s computational capacity. This view is supported by findings that intelligence is more correlated with frontal lobe volume and volume of gray matter, which is dense in neural cell bodies and synapses, than sheer brain size. Other research comparing proteins at synapses between different species suggests that what makes up synapses at the molecular level has had a huge impact on intelligence throughout evolutionary history. So, although having a big brain is somewhat predictive of having big smarts, intelligence probably depends much more on how efficiently different parts of your brain communicate with each other.

Monthly inflation is slowing, and is at an annualized 4.8%. We had a big spike in the summer/fall that's still showing up in our annual figures, but inflation itself is coming under control.

A lot of this stuff matches my experience. I'm a classic night owl and occasionally subject myself to acute sleep deprivation (< 3-4 hours of sleep). Typically the next day I'm in weirdly good humor, slightly manic, and feel as if my senses have been heightened. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy for saying this, but I enjoy the feeling. If the sleep deprivation turns into multiple days, I begin to become sluggish and irritable...but I try not to let that happen.

Quora as well.
I am beginning to think that the fed will try to engineer a situation where wage gains are leading prices in a wage price spiral. Why? Because inflation solves a world of problems(i.e. unsustainable debt). It avoids cancelling the 'wealth effect' currently deluding half the population into thinking they're rich. Inflation sucks when your wages aren't rising as fast as prices. Inflation isn't so bad, I think, when you are getting paid more but then subsequently prices rise. If a demographic and cultural shift causes a permanent shortage of workers, one could envision a scenario where wages have to rise to compete for talent and in that environment inflation could be tolerated.

Inflation means the fed doesn't have to pop the asset, real estate and commodities bubbles. Those bubbles softly deflate as their prices only drop in real dollars as the USD loses value. A hundred million voters don't wake up feeling poorer, unless they're the suckers who own the fixed rate debt.

As a moron who is currently holding lots of cash, I'm hoping the fed will have the fortitude to fight inflation. History shows they do not, however.

I mean purely as reasonable accommodation is defined by the ADA. Sorry, it looks like my 'as I'm suspecting you know' landed differently than I intended. I meant that you seem to be aware of ADA requirements.

For example, requiring a workplace to provide an employee who requires it an N95 mask very clearly falls under the 'reasonable accommodation' category.

However, requiring all employees or patrons to wear N95 masks does not track with other examples of reasonable accommodations.
Remember, this is Wall Street you're talking about, so both things can be true: Twitter can miss analyst's expectations, and the stock can go up because other analysts see an opportunity based on different expectations.

If you're expecting much of what Wall Street (or journalists covering the markets) does to make sense, you're going to have a bad time.
We may need inflation to drive job growth now, and we've definitely needed inflation to drive better job growth. An office job being created because a paper company can support an additional employee due to inflation is a better situation than continuing to work in a warehouse job. Inflation will eventually recede, but that new job will give opportunity to the worker.

Scale that up by a factor of millions across the country, and you've closed the income gap. That's the power of inflation.

Estimates are analyst estimates, not market expectation. The market can (and often does) expect a company to miss estimates. If they missed by less than expected, the stock usually goes up.
Those seem like good arguments for both (1) and (2) being factors. Not definitive, though. One expects there to be some variation in price changes from sector to sector at any time, so only a greater than typical variation would be indicative of particular supply disruptions (or put another way, there are always supply chain disruptions, though maybe not of the current magnitude). Also, increased money supply doesn't immediately get distributed throughout the economy. One expects price increases to first show up in the things that tend to be bought by the people who first got the money. And I'm not sure who got the bulk of the recently-created money...

I do not know if it's the case for this particular approach, but it's often the case that very effective reforms that don't require increasing teacher head-count do rely on having very good teachers and admin.

Which means that a wide roll-out would require one or both of: more spending on training; more spending on salaries to increase the quality of the candidate pool.

A top-quintile teacher may be way more effective than a middle-quintile teacher, to the point that entire education frameworks and strategies are viable for them that aren't for the middle quintile, but the trouble is only 20% of your teachers are top-quintile. Ditto admin. You'd be amazed at how mediocre admin can completely ruin a good plan.

"I would love to know what early Sapiens thought about the Neanderthals. Did they see them as that other tribe that is very strong, but acts a bit foolishly sometimes?"

If population density was as low as we like to imagine (was it? Or is it just sites where traces survived into the present being so rare?), perhaps a neanderthaliensis tribe was just as alien to them as any foreign sapiens tribe would be?
I'm a bit confused by your comment, when you say that "testing if a cell is blocked has a sensing cost", do you mean the obstacle/wall is not in your graph at the point of search? A properly calculated navmesh by definition has the obstacle/wall 'cut out' of the mesh (or otherwise represented in a modifier area). Perhaps I've misunderstood you but it sounds like you're trying to build, at least partially, the navmesh as you search?

If you're rather talking about temporary obstacles like other nav agents that need to be avoided, there are a number of approaches to agent avoidance that work nicely on a subset of a navgraph.

> Not obvious snobbery.

My apologies, your story is compelling.

> Lower density means greater distance to and fewer options for child care and other important (or even just nice-to-have) services. Right?

You are Density is (outside of the top 4-5) a weak proxy for home prices[1]. Chicago being one example, the Houston metro being more dense than Seattle metro for another. More importantly, you have to go to a pretty small town to start missing even nice-to-have services. I'm suggesting that there are top 25 major metros where housing is cheaper than the US median and where there are good schools.

> What it sure looks like is there are floors on how low you can go in a given price bracket without school quality starting to slip.

This holds within, but not across, markets, obviously. $450k in one market is an excellent school district, while in California it's not. If your budget is $450k, you will land in a better neighborhood with better schools in a cheaper city than in a more expensive city.

> decent-or-better schools k-12

Reminder that rating sites like great schools penalize districts in urban areas. Density typically includes apartments/affordable housing/transit, which frequently includes people struggling financially and/or people whose first language is not English. This shows up in test scores. Even if every family at a school excels academically except those of more modest means, rating sites will ding the school. Even though research shows such environments are often very good for children. So "school quality" ratings basically are "what percentage of families in this neighborhood have white-collar professionals," which is not really a great measure. TL;DR; it's difficult to evaluate school quality via the Internet.

> Possibly also greater distance to friends, relatives, et c., who could help out.

Honestly, this is the real killer. I empathize with folks with tight familial ties to California, for this reason.

Hey there, Hacker News! I’m a recruiter at Etsy the two sided e-commerce marketplace for handmade items. Specifically I work with our Search & Ads initiative, the part of our company where we formulate the algorithms, production code, pipelines and platform for how our buyers search for items on Etsy, along with the platform we have created for our sellers to be able to advertise their stores and products.

We have multiple roles available at Engineering Manager level. This level at Etsy typically comes with a base salary of between $180,000 through to circa $220,000 plus a 15% bonus. On top of this we are a publicly traded company with equity on offer to all new full time hires. And Engineering Manager at Etsy typically manages teams of up to 6-8 engineers.

I highlight 3 roles, 2 within Search & 1 within Ads that are at the Engineering Manager level. If interested, please feel free to apply directly at the links provided and I look forward to connecting with you from there.

g(x) represents the costs that have been incurred thus far, since the starting point. How you wish to quantify and evaluate that cost is up to you as the implementer. For spatial navigation purposes, most people opt for “cost = Euclidean distance traversed”, but if Euclidean distance is not the only thing you’re trying to minimize, then your cost function must take other factors into account.

Exactly. I am perfectly happy to view ads in a context like readthedocs.io- a simple image (with link, of course) placed prominently yet still out of the way. Unfortunately too many sites have decided to make their content impossible to view without an adblocker so I just use uBlock Origin on everything.

It's never going to get better. Sites are going to continue to squeeze every cent of revenue they can per user which will just drive more users to adblockers, making them need to make the ads _even worse_ to maintain income.

Advertisers, you did this to yourselves.

> binary reality that in adult, diploid mammals, the key chromosome pair is either XX or XY, and that every cell (except the somatic line) in that individual will have the same pair.

Unless one adopts a different definition of “individual” than the one usually applied to humans, this is wrong (germline chimerism is a thing), and right or wrong it's a weirdly narrow claims, as most cells are in the somatic line, anyway.

> The issue is that you are saying that the sexual phenotype is primary, while I claim, on the basis of biology, that the sexual genotype is primary.

Biology and medicine refer to people with phenotypical traits more associated with maleness despite XX chromosomes as “biologically male” and “XX male” (and those with traits associated more with femaleness despite XY chromosomes as ”biologically female” and “XY female”), and similarly (with variations by karyotype) based on phenotype for individuals with non-(46,XX or 46,XY) karyotypes, so even in the sense of the way biology and medicine bucket people into a forced binary, you are wrong.

And karyotype (which is what you seem to mean when you say “genotype”) still isn't binary even if you view it as “primary”, and actual genotype is even less so.
Yes. This is the key. Provider jobs have disappeared for a huge section. Also, implicit in this is that the man is the higher earner. Rage against it, but a man's attractiveness to a woman does notch up a lot of points if they are the higher earner. Basically, if you can provide. And the chances for that have gone drastically down due to a confluence of multiple economic and cultural factors.
Close, the distance formula is square root of (X1^2 + X2^2 …).

So exactly 1 gives a distance of 1, but almost 1 + almost 1 gives a distance of almost square root of 2.
I'm with you, I agree we gotta drop the "D" word. There's no bank to go to to extend the loan. The "interest" isn't necessarily low or negotiable or even predictable. Way too misleading.

But I'm wondering if we shouldn't be saying "preventative maintenance" and sometimes just "repair" (for example if there's already an error rate, as in the article's last example.)

Of course, then ya gotta answer the question "to prevent what?" To which the answer is "SNAFUs" or "gremlins" (pardon the WWII terms) such as ones that will make all coding work more expensive later on or will horrify customers by their effects. Or just kill the business outright. I've seen that happen, after having been firmly refused permission to do preventive maintainance on my code. (I'm a worse coder but a better salesman now, so that probably wouldn't happen, now.)

Does this stretch the word repair? No, I think if you're replacing disc brake pads on an old car after X amount of miles, that's repair even if you can still stop the car.

In other words, maybe this has been solved in other ordinary economic contexts, and we should just be brave enough to use them thar words.
It has worked well for many years, at least for me. More people than you might expect really do focus an account on one topic. Some people have multiple accounts to separate work/personal life as well.
