The person you are talking to is talking about US free speech. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but Ottawa is not in the US.
My current position. First there was a phone interview of about 45 minutes, IIRC. Then an in-person interview that lasted 2 hours.

The first 30 minutes was general questions. Background, work history, that kind of stuff. A bit of "get to know you" kind of stuff stuff - hobbies or whatever.

The next 30 minutes was, here's this half page of code. It's one function. It's not especially tricky. The function is named "foo" or something like that. What does it do? What inputs does it expect? What should it be named? What can go wrong in the function? What will happen if it does?

The next 30 minutes was a little coding problem. It wasn't leetcode - you didn't have to "know the trick" to be able to get it. You could use any language you wanted. (I used perl because it did a bunch of the details for me.) If you had a bug, they'd ask questions until you realized it.

The last 30 minutes was a design question. How would you design your software for this situation? It was a pretty open-ended situation, so no matter what you did, they could throw some additional details at you and see how you evolved your design in response.

At the end of it, they knew: Can we work with this person? Can they read code? Can they write code? Can they design code?
I'm sorry, but "corporate greed" doesn't make sense. Were corporations not greedy in 2017?
High interest rates tend to depress borrowers’ ability to borrow (being constrained by DTI ratios), so house values tend to fall from interest rate increases in isolation (though rise with general inflation, so the combined effect is harder to predict).

It’s generally good for mortgage borrowers who don’t intend to sell.
Another thing to consider is malicious packages being published. In the Node ecosystem, the last few times this has happened, the community reacts quickly with a speedy (<12h) un-publish, and the whole incident might be over before your development team wakes up in the morning. However, if you immediately and automatically build every single dependency upgrade on your CI systems, you are dramatically increasing your exposure.

It's important to ensure your CI systems do not hold any important credentials, and are decoupled from your deployments. In a setup like this, at best, your source code may be stolen by one of these malicious packages. At worst, it will scrape for goodies such as `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`.
I believe the BEAM only interrupts after "reduction" limit is reached, and is after function calls end. The big difference is that everything is a function call, so there's frequent opportunity to be interrupted. There's no functionless for-loop iteration, for example. I think having that would be a big sticking point for scheduling

And Threema
If the "people" part of economics invalidates all of its assumptions and models, then how useful is it really? Everything beyond intro micro and macro is as pie in the sky as string theory, and motivated academics are also similarly keen to keep that PhD research money hole absorbing all the resources it possibly can.
"So they do deny freedom of speech and freedom of expression to people that the government doesn't like "

Of course they do, every state on earth limits freedom of speech. In germany regarding certain topics even more so. But nazis are still allowed to express their ideology. This is a difference to a time, when also this was forbidden. (for example in the NS area)
Vehicles are not only "behind" on supply (which is difficult enough to overcome in an industry that's so dialed in to production capacity that quick bumps in production aren't possible), but they continue to be produced at below normal capacity and so the shortage is increasing, not catching up.

The chip shortage is playing an outsized role here. Vehicles are being delivered with IOUs to come back in a year or two to have chips retrofitted in order to enable options listed on the window sticker. Everything from climate control and heated seats, to wireless phone charging, to autostop/gas saving measures, to lane keeping and collision avoidance. And delivery numbers are still extremely low.

Catching up means either years of bringing up total factory capacity to beyond pre-covid levels and catching up on the chip shortage... or a recession or other event that suppresses demand.

Transient in this sense only applies if we're taking about fractions of a decade, not fractions of a year.
> 7.5% inflation is downright relaxing

COVID didn't cause inflation. Helicopter money did. My liquid net worth almost doubled in the middle of a crisis and my inflation hedge (my house) is worth twice what I bought it for.

The average blue collar person doesn't have the benefits we do and can't play the game. 7.5% "inflation" (if you want to call CPI that) is panic inducing for basically anyone else.
I’ve been investigated by federal and state governments nine times (welcome to contracting) since leaving Apple, up to and including a full SSBI, and have never heard a word about a discrepancy. Ever. Public sector, private sector, HireRight, nobody has ever flagged it, and I know what that looks like because others have been. HireRight in particular is sensitive to job level or title differences in what you report as part of their investigation, and again, it’s never remotely been an issue.

I think people put a lot of stock in these databases which are updated voluntarily by employers. When it matters it’s double checked anyway. If a background shop can’t get an answer from Apple in a week it’s a bad background shop, because that’s literally automated (and the last copy I requested from a CRA had my title correctly reported by Apple, including my seniority level).

I hate dismissing the claim and I’m not. Rest assured I believe this tomfoolery to be on brand. There’s just more nuance to this, I think, and it’s even more interesting if it’s intermittently impacting formers. Could this be the result of the “do not rehire” box being checked in Merlin? I know mine isn’t, and I also know that it is often (quietly) checked when people depart, and that might be the difference.
You are correct and thanks for bringing this up. I didn't think about how it affects people with different constraints than my own.
About 45% of my housing expenses is expected maintenance, taxes, and HOA dues, all of which I expect to track inflation.
Ray tracing at 5fph, not bad at all for the hardware.

Which, again, is another reason why I'm not exactly thrilled by most travel. So much of the world is evolving into a hodgepodge of various cultures. There's nothing wrong with this, of course. It's just that it's going to mean that, for me, going to experience cultures that already exist in my backyard really doesn't add much to my life. And maybe that's from my particular standpoint of living in Southern California, where we've got a little bit of Mexico, a little bit of Asia, a little bit of African American culture, a little Armenian... I'm sure I'm missing a few. And of course we've got our share of farmland and the ethnicity that are stereotypical with that.

So if rural America is gradually becoming that way, and thereby the rest of the world following suit, I guess the reason to travel would be to experience different cultures before they effectively come to us all (or disappear all together in some cases). But that's really more curiosity than anything else, like visiting a traveling museum exhibit that has a limited run.
Thanks for this source, i believe in the last fed meeting JP said he expected us to be on track for 2% this year but i don’t see how that’s possible if we are already at .6 a month in, maybe it will drastically keep going down MoM for this year and average down to 2%?
What I've heard is that photography of a painting is considered to be a form of reproduction and not the creation of a new work. It might be different if you were to photograph the painting from a funny angle with a shadow falling across it in an artistic way but that's not what we're talking about in the case of a typical Mona Lisa image, like the one the Wikipedia page uses.
How does he intend to shake off his reputation as a close confidant of Jeffrey Epstein (after he was convicted), which included multiple staff of his foundation visiting the home of the sex offender. [1]

Does the world really need to take advice from people associated with sex offenders, and who seek to profit from vaccines?

Vulnerability Reward Program: 2021 Year in Review
as long as your income rises that will be true
OP didn't necessarily said the poor are better off than the wealthy. The broader point is that if you are in favor of debt forgiveness.. well, this is certainly one way to get it done.
I don't know how much LSD you did or what your body weight was or anything else that might be chemically relevant. But I would be deeply surprised by an individual being immune to the closed eye hallucinations.

When you look at a lightbulb for a moment and then close your eyes, do you get the after image? The "closed eye hallucinations" are just that normal after image chopped up in frequency space. LSD exposes the fact that a lot of what the brain does can be understood in terms of analog signal processing. The most reliable way to get a high quality viewing of the crystal patterns is with TV static. Baring that, any randomized constant texture such as a carpet will suffice. The reason is because random noise evenly fills up the entire spectrum in frequency space, so whatever frequencies are cut, de-phased, or otherwise affectef are guaranteed to be present in an image of pure noise. Another reliable glitch is that all lines below a certain thickness will tend to wobble or drift in and out of visibility. Again, construct a line as a really thin gaussian wave packet and see what happens when the high frequency terms pick up phase drift.

LSD hallucinations have nothing to do with aphantasia.
Hard to look silly when most entities hold your version of things as sacred.
Where do you get the idea that trucking is unprofitable? The trucking industry has recovered from pandemic downturn and is making plenty of profits.
My 2-cents on this as someone who owns a Peloton. Riding a bike is great but doing it for 30-60 minutes 5 times a week is a bit hard to do. We do most of our riding while our toddler naps. I certainly can't leave him alone at home to go bike. I don't live somewhere where it's safe to bike during the day, I certainly can't do it when visibility is anything less than stellar. Where I live is mostly flat, I can't get the type of workout riding outside that I can riding inside where I can more granularity control resistance.

This doesn't replace riding outdoors, it gives you a consistent, reproducible, and flexible way to work out on terms that you can more easily control.

“More and more CPU processing” doesn’t sound like a CRUD API.
If the seller can subcontract the delivery service, is there any reason they can't subcontract their accounts receivable?

I think the element you're missing is - of course this is OK, it happens all the time. What the comment you were responding to before wasn't making clear is that when it's done, there must be contractual provisions limiting the service provider's use of the data, so they can't use it for their own purposes.
You also might want to just give it a little time. When I viewed this post 3 hours after you, the four following comments began, "Super cool project...", "First: cool project...", "I setup something similar...", "This is awesome...". I assume your comment probably helped, but that also over time regular comment moderation did its part.

As for the original article, I'm a runner so it was of interest. My living situation is nothing like OPs tho, so probably not for me.
> They are not as common as in the US

I'm not sure we're living in the same US ...
Two things:

1) If the site is run as a tor endpoint, and says "no German users allowed", I wonder how the jurisdiction thing plays out. (Yes, I'm asking HN for legal advice!)

2) The US recently had Mein Kampf toting neo-nazis working in the white house (Trump's PR team didn't even bother hiding this, and publicly praise Hitler's propaganda machine.)
So, the US is pretty far down the Paradox of Tolerance rathole. At some point we'll need to flip the "Nazis must die!" bit like we did in WWII, unless the GOP corrects it's own course.

Apparently Pence publicly disagreed with our deposed dictator about the VP's ability to unilaterally overthrow elections. Trump didn't resort to name calling like he usually does. (Over 70% of Trump voters and 75% of Americans agree with Pence on this, for what it's worth.)

Maybe there's still reason to hope the US isn't headed to some sort of Apartheid-style "democracy", where idiots run everything and just ignore election results. Maybe?
This isn't right.

The fed basically controls the very short end of the curve. The 30 year rate is above 2 (it briefly touched around 1.3 or something during the start of the covid panic). No one is/was discounting cashflows 10 years into the future at 0 so "all cash flows" didn't have infinite net present value.
Until interest rates raise to balance out demand for debt.
I don’t know where you went to school. I guess I know a “jock” type who was running a meth lab, I guess that is a kind of management, at least until he went to prison.
> The Dragon was a (better) clone of the Tandy Color Computer, not the TRS-80,

The CoCo was a model of TRS-80.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Color_Computer

So, yes, saying that the Dragon 32 was a version of the TRS-80 is fair and valid IMHO.

Over here in Europe, we had dozens of makes and models of home computer that were either very obscure or completely unknown in North America -- mostly because computers from the USA were very expensive by European standards.

(Ever heard of... Sinclair, Acorn, Oric, Enterprise, Memotech, Camputers, Tatung, Jupiter Cantab, HH Tiger, Grundy, Amstrad/Schneider, Philips, Thomson, MGT, Apricot, Compukit, CST, or Research Machines?)

I used microcomputers from 1981 and got the first one of my own the next year. I have been working with them for 40 years now. When they were current, I did not know a single person with an Apple ][ or a TRS-80. They were simply too expensive here.

So I think it's 100% understandable that, when the article here didn't specify any particular model of TRS-80, a Brit might not know that there were multiple incompatible model lines of the things. I only learned of the complexity of the TRS-80 range in the last year or two -- that is, in my 50s.

They were not a huge international success.
You are both right. The Fed has its public mandates (which it uses the coarse tool of interest rates to manage), but also protects US commercial banks through their refusal to issue narrow bank licenses and their refusal to issue a CBDC or FedAccounts without being shoved by the legislative and executive branches (just like they dragged their feet on FedNow until Congress lit a fire under them because Zelle, owned by the largest banks, was acting anti competitively with smaller community banks).

Lots of Fed criticism to go around for everyone’s enjoyment.
> It's ok because the thoughts they ban are not novel, they had their time and were thoroughly executed on.

"Because it is not new it is okay". Sorry that isn't very convincing.

The issue is that if you ban one set of ideas you have set a precedent to ban other ideas that aren't as odious.

Using the same justification you can criminalise believing in the Earth is flat or any other fringe idea.

> You'll have hard time convincing anyone that thought "Jews are inferior race and should be exterminated" should have the same right to be considered as any other. When we already thought this thought extensively and even based our actions on it and it led only to unprecedented nhuman suffering.

I am not saying they should be considered equally. I am not saying that those ideas are equal. I am saying that someone shouldn't be criminalised for thinking or expressing such ideas.
And even you try to trick someone to. It is not necessary that there build number are on the same place as your phone.

Android manufacturers for some unknown reason always reorder/rename their setting menu randomly. And I seldom see any phone that have exact the same setting menu from different oem.
> NodeJS relies on V8, which is perhaps the world's most highly optimised interpreter (/JIT compiler/runner), and a spectacular piece of software.

Uhm, has V8 come anywhere near LuaJIT's performance by now? And LuaJIT is basically a one-man effort.
If you flip the scenario around in your mind.. how would you feel if virtually every site or service you visit scoops up your data and sends it to [China|Russia|...] and hosts all your private data on servers operated by the [Chinese|Russians|...] and are subject to [Chinese|Russian|...] rule and disregard whatever laws your country has enacted? How would you feel if you couldn't opt out without virtually opting out of the entire internet, including all the services your friends and family and local associations & companies use for messaging?

That's how the internet has been. That's how I feel about US tech giants getting all my data. They write their privacy policy, they dictate their terms, they follow US laws. I have absolutely no choice or voice or vote, unless one considers "yo dawg just build your own internet" a realistic choice.

I don't feel like the purpose is to drive out foreign competition. I feel like the purpose is to enforce privacy as a right, and I fully support it. I also fully support the right to transmit data across borders as long as the destination country also respects my privacy and rights instead of treating me as an alien and potential terrorist. Is that too much to ask for?

And in general, is following the rules of the country you offer a service in too much to ask for? Local laws apply to brick and mortar business; if Walmart wants to come to my neighborhood, sure go ahead, but please respect our laws. I don't see why internet companies should be above the law either.

GDPR is replacing rules dictated by US corporations with democratically established rules written by our representatives. It's unfortunate that there's now a clash between US laws and EU laws, but it's not the end of the world.
The efficient market hypothesis is as dumb and made up as the price/wage spiral
I'm not an expert on MMT, nor a proponent. I don't have a sufficiently informed opinion to say whether it's good or bad.

But, I think what the US government is doing isn't MMT.

MMT proponents seem to be arguing that creating money is good if and only if you ensure it is spent on the right things - like infrastructure. Then you can get net wins for the economy.

According to MMT it's bad if you, for instance, create a situation where institutions, investors, and giant companies have an unlimited supply of dollars that never lose value.
The Queen is literally the ruler of the UK. It says so in the laws.

The GP is saying that the Fed has other objectives than the ones that are formally stated.
Presumably it's just like how deno does dependencies: https://deno.land/manual/examples/manage_dependencies

As for why, it's simpler than adding a package.json and meticulously curating it. If you only have a few small dependencies this might make sense. You can also pull in stuff that isn't hosted on npm or properly packaged--for example just pull down a js file from someone's github repo.

If you start getting a lot of dependencies then it might turn into a new nightmare to maintain. It's an experiment--people don't really know if it's good or bad until using it a bit.
Your article does not say that she was sentenced specifically FOR the smiley (and not i.e. for something she wrote online).

On another hand, you are saying that sentence for a T-shirt is "common" (in my understanding it means that Estonia is very far, probably much farther than Belarus, from being a democracy).
I can also reply to that with examples of people sentenced for tweets in EU or USA.
This is also "common". And this discussion is actually getting nowhere, just shows that we have different biases.
Keep in mind "7.5%" is the aggregate across the entire basket.

This isn't how individual people perceive inflation. What actually happens is that a few things make big jumps (10-15%) and the prices of other things don't increase as quickly.

Maybe not the nicest thing to say, but I'm hardly affected by inflation at all. The four biggest categories to experience inflation recently have been used cars, petroleum, rents, and food. As an urban-dwelling homeowner who doesn't drive much, doesn't rent, and isn't in the market for a car, the only real change has been food, and it's a small enough part of my goods basket that the extra $15-20/week at the grocery store barely registers.

The people really hurting today are the truck-driving renters sucking down 20+ gallons of gas/week driving long distances to their jobs. Those guys are feeling a lot of pain.
It's possible. It's just one of those explanations that we'd really love to believe, since the alternative is so unthinkable. It's been a hobby of mine to be skeptical of it.

Even Kurzgesagt mentioned in passing that we're not sure if it was due to "a series of minor genocides."

If anyone knows of breadcrumbs to follow, please chime in. Genetic testing implies it should be possible to figure out how much interbreeding took place. We seem to be able to trace extinction events with some degree of accuracy, so it would be surprising if a genocide-type extinction event was easy to confuse with interbreeding.
