Inflation != value compared to the dollar

Unlike other Latin American countries, Brazil's economy is mostly decoupled from the dollar -- people don't save in dollars, they save in reales. Prices are all in reales (including housing and cars, something that is usually in dollars in other countries), and most importantly, the national debt is in reales, and mostly internal. A rise in the price of the dollar is not necessarily harmful to the people living there if the prices don't rise the same way, and it can even be beneficial by making the exports more competitive in the world market.

Gpt: Yes, I can understand what you are asking if you put words in between.

Me: What was the word that I put in between?

Gpt: The word that you put in between is "here."

Or, worse, the young will never get any power because the old will not relinquish control.

Then you have the "surfeit of princes" problem.

This isn't just grand political power: imagine being unable to progress in your career because geriatrics above you aren't retiring.

That's just one possible secondary effect. We could enumerate many others.
Thanks for submission! Very timely. Been searching for a stable and flexible editor (or rather a tool to build such an editor) and Tiptap looks like a good candidate.

I was also considering Slate, but have found this rather annoying bug https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/issues/4833, which is surprising as it doesn't look like some rare edge case, and breaks something that seems to be like basic functionality for an editor. Had to re-consider.
I have stapled your reply to the original printout for extra hilarity! :)
This is a goldmine thanks!

>why isn't there more talk of curtailing what the President is allowed to do unilaterally?

Executive orders don't give Presidents unilateral power. They are subject to judicial review and cannot legally violate the Constitution, or exceed Presidential authority as defined in Article 2 of the Constitution, unless specific authority is granted by Congress. Also Congress can overturn a legislative order, either through legislation or simply denying funding. Although, when the legislative and judicial branches don't really want to stand up to the President for whatever reason, that's a moot point.

Also, there is always plenty of talk - from the party not currently in control of the White House. Executive orders are always tyranny when the other side writes them, and a necessary bulwark against tyranny when your side writes them.
That is a good analogy. It is very similar to dealing with chronic pain that prevents you from ever getting a good sleep.
they have an unprecedented ability to cause inflation themselves simply by deciding to spend more of it

They spend it in the stock market, that's where the inflation is. I remember a time when a P/E ratio of 12 was a signal that the company was highly valued, and a P/E ration of 15 was a signal of a bubble. Nowadays that number for Tesla is ~ 100! That's insane.
Oh, there's no choice :)

It always struck me as strange, among the many chess shelves in the Mechanics Institute and elsewhere, that there wasn't such a starter book out there already...I'm very pleased to hear it stacks up well against your hundreds!

Don't know why but it takes 2 backspace to erase a letter on Android Firefox.
At some point I just got annoyed by all the 4chan script kiddies and went in active defense mode :D

Also lookup "slowloris attack" -It's pretty efficient if the attacker has more network bandwidth than you have, and can even out the advantage.

Won't be as effective against them having more networked machines though, so you have to use some other tricks against shodan, websnort, burp suite etc.

There are some other tricks though, and you can also abuse HTTP smuggled headers (in the response) to specifically crash their proxies, for example :)

Most common vulnerability scanners use some standard http libraries, so they are vulnerable to slowloris + chunked encodings, or they can't recover from a broken http trailing header, or from an http2/3 upgrade/downgrade loop that breaks their UDP packet parser.

What also works is if you spoof their SOCKS5 proxy with UDP bind requests until they can't use it anymore. So for a lot of DDoS attack scenarios there are active defense options to mitigate the damage which the redteam can cause.
To play devil's advocate, I actually suspect the reason Apple were planning to implement this was because they were intending to start using E2E encryption on iCloud photos, but to keep various governments off their back figured they could placate them by implementing this scanning.
Fortunately have never had to show a test or a vaccine pass on a phone. Boy am I glad I’ve been living in England these last few years if that’s becoming normalised!
Regarding her husband not being able to find the Airtag, Apple's announcement this week of planned improvements[1] also include the ability for recent-model iPhones to be able to do precision tracking of unknown Airtags, just as they can when looking for known Airtags.

I've personally come around to the idea that Airtags are a product that shouldn't exist, but at least Apple is making an effort to make these less attractive to stalkers.

Being biodegradable doesn't mean that it will degrade in any circumstances. Lumber in a house is usually protected from many biological degradation agents, even if it is not chemically treated. If you took that same wood and threw it in a pile exposed to rain and bugs, it would be gone in less than 100 years.

I would say something like "keep guessing" instead of "retry" but good suggestion.
yeah so I'm seeing a ton of "(Postgrex.Error) FATAL 53300 (too_many_connections) remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections", which I'm guessing means the pool size is too small?

This might be a good opportunity to change the server to try out fly.io
> so far I don't know what Go or rust programmers do that is any different

Rust doesn't have object inheritance. So Car and Truck can't inherit from a class named Vehicle. However its Traits have inheritance, so for Car and Truck you could write implementations of a trait named Vehicle or a trait MotorTransport which inherits from Vehicle (and so you'd need to implement Vehicle too in this case as MotorTransport relies on that).

Rust only allows the author of Boat or the author of the trait Vehicle to implement Vehicle for Boat, so if you were to add a sinks_in_water() predicate to Vehicle either:

* As author of Vehicle you're responsible for implementing sinks_in_water() for Boats OR

* You've made a backwards incompatible change, anybody who uses the existing Boat can't upgrade to your revised Vehicle OR

* inside your own system where nothing external can force the version requirement, now it doesn't compile because Boat claims to implement Vehicle but it lacks sinks_in_water()
ROAD TRIP!!!
This is way more fun.

Wordle is cool, but short of purposely making bad guesses I'm not sure how anyone could lose at it.

My wife and I started an online/offline shop last year. When our very first orders came in, it was the best feeling ever! I wanted some kind of celebration device that would turn on and play some celebrating music each time this happened. So I started learning IoT / hardware and build a cool retro-looking police light that I can plug into our WooCommerce/Shopify/Zapier accounts (or really anything else with webhooks). This was such a fun project and people wanted to get some for their own. So I'm working on making it a "real" product. I don't care if it becomes a "success" or not, I'm already so happy to use it for my own and my friends.
I disagree. I mean yeah, obviously mistakes are mistakes, but I doubt many people are seriously suspecting anything else than that.

However, it seems unusual for people to be carrying around air tags in such a way that they are casually lost. I would guess mistakes aren't THAT common. I would guess domestic abuse is not an uncommon use case of these things. I would also guess that thieves do have an eye for it. You don't need to be Liam Neeson for someone to want to steal your shit. The alert that an air tag is following you mostly negates this.

I do agree they don't seem to have much utility on their own
Could part of that be explained by the use of old growth wood? My understanding is it's much more robust than modern wood.
The internet investigators tracking Russian movements on the Ukrainian border
I mean for personal use, airtags seem all right. But it's the ones that don't come with a warning that they're around that worry me.

I mean if you're paranoid, I'm sure there's detectors that can find bluetooth signals and whichever other technologies they use (I'm fairly sure GPS is passive, that is, they only need to receive satellite signals, not send anything).
Totally agree!

However, it's likely that one task (going to Mars, even sending a couple rich bozos there) is small enough that you can probably do that and work on fixing things "at home".

In fact, one could argue that one set of big companies that exist this decade that didn't exist last decade is just a shopping list of "Crap I'll need for my martian condo"
> All these people received warnings on their iPhones, a feature Apple had built into the AirTag system to help prevent unwanted tracking.

Your critique is bit shallow. That the article does not present any new information to any one reader (you) specifically, or that any one reader (you) cannot relate personally is to be expected and not remarkable given the size of this publication’s audience and the novelty of the phenomenon the article discusses.

I imagine, however, that there are readers for whom this information is novel, and for whom the first-person journalistic style is insightful. In this case, the value here is obvious.
>reliability of Starship would exceed that of commercial airplanes

I don't think he said that. Maybe you're thinking of:

>44:31 "so the interesting thing is that the

the capital efficiency of a plane for

long distance flights"
Why won’t anyone teach me math?
Man If I could fly (rocket?) to AUS from the UK in a handful of hours I'd be all over that vs. the 24+ hour flights + connections. Sure it doesn't make sense for all routes but for super long distance I can see it being competitive for some section of the market.
What you're describing about Java style OOP has made that stuff absolutely impenetrable to me. I have no patience for studying those patterns, and even less for writing all of the boilerplate code to implement them.

I've been loving all of the push towards more functional style programming lately. It makes code so much more intuitive for me.

Oh yes. That's a very clear concern. I'm reacting to the "people who decline will he like antivaxers" comment. But it seems far more likely people will be priced out as opposed to voluntarily refuse treatment.
Did you know NASA only get 0.36% of the US Federal budget? Everything else gets "massive funding".
Inheritance in OOP is what I like to think of as "structured patching".

When you create a .patch-file with `git diff`, you are essentially creating an inheritance hierarchy. Imagine having 5 patch files that are applied to the same code file in sequence. This is analogous to an inheritance hierarchy with 5 levels.

patches/inheritance is a very useful tool when you want to make some changes to third party code you depend on before using it - while minimizing the maintenance burden of these changes.

Inheritance/patches is also a very useful tool for describing/representing changes to your own code, but only as a temporary measure - you want to flatten out the levels of inheritance/patching for readability. With .patch-files, this can be done automatically. With OOP/inheritance, this is more of a manual (although still straight forward) process.

A git repository with 1000 commits is essentially an inheritance hierarchy with 1000 levels. Note that git will automatically flatten out these patches when you check out a certain commit - which is what makes git such a great/usable tool. Imagine if git could not do this flattening automatically. Code bases would quickly become unmaintainable if they wanted to retain their change history.
>They're not going to send 1M tons of cargo to Mars without a deployment plan.

Can this happen? I imagine before we can settle on Mars we first should be comfortable flying there, and the latter should be sufficient for asteroid mining. But, right, our technology is just not at a comfortable level yet.
"Key Senators", but none are named in a list. If the call to action is to contact them to persuade them, and the title speaks of "Key Senators".... then name them! Better yet, include contact info.
I fail to see how that would have led to a more humane outcome for the civilian population. The military controlled the government, they get first dibs on resources, not the civilian population.

That’s good! That is how a healthy relationship with alcohol should be.
That's interesting. I've suspected it was two things:

1. Some chemical addiction - hard to understand but may contribute to the "urge"

2. Some component of taste - in other words, I like the taste of bourbon. I don't really care to be drunk but it obviously happens sometimes. But the goal is not to be drunk but instead to enjoy the taste of bourbon. I'm sure that desire manifests itself chemically in the body as well. Yet, I think of them as different pathways to the outcome.

So day to day, what I feel like I'm fighting is the desire to taste something I really enjoy, rather than the desire to be drunk, if that distinction makes sense.
Damn, they really did their employees dirty over a pre-recorded call.
Why such a focus of substances and no mention of the more common addictions such as video games, porn and social media?
One way to look at this is that Apple is democratizing surveillance capitalism. Is that good? Bad?

Seems a bit at odds with their pro-privacy marketing though, which might be why they get so much flak for something presumably fairly minor.
I found the calibration hard to use and it didn't give me much feedback to say if I was doing what it wanted or not. The end result seemed to get the axis extents correct but the mapping all over the place.
I built a small project that parses tickets sites and generates reports for venues’ attendance. I know that the data are not accurate because venues keep a percentage of tickets for themselves and there’s no indication how many of those are eventually sold. Despite that it provides a very good indication as to which plays are the most popular and whatnot, although you can’t really tell how many tickets exactly were sold. I built it out of curiosity, and there are a few venues which were interested in the data although not accurate because they can spot trends. So although as a project it never took off, and it never was meant to, it helped me earn some contacts and insights. I don’t plan on upgrading it because there’s not much that can be done.
Clickbait; the author jumps from “41% of employees are considering leaving their employer this year” (original source) to “Microsoft predicts 41% attrition.”
An infrasound at 1Hz is essentially a puff of air every second. Open and close a door in a small room and you'll get a pretty strong one.

If it was inherently harmful we wouldn't be able to open a window on any windy day.

Or perhaps there's something hypnotic due to the frequency being so constant?
from one parroted talking point to another... not surprising considering your use of the word "propaganda".

No vaccine has ever had adverse reactions that don't show up for over a year. There isn't even a mechanism through which that is possible as the components of the vaccines are all broken down and eliminated by the body in weeks.

At what timeline would be be satisfied that there are no long term effects and what would that be based on?
I wish you’d use that same strength to cut your addiction to micro transactions in video games …

In the last months, I’ve focused on creating this theme. It’s about making your site unique, capturing the attention of your visitor in a way that increases time-on-page and signups.

Think I’m exaggerating? Take a look for yourself :D For all you hackers that have their js-blocked, you'll not see the experience as it's using webgl
My ancedotal evidence says yes. I've never had a porn problem (I'm a homosexual female, I'm not sure there's enough material for me to sustain a porn problem...), but I've had other psychological addictions and one interesting thing I've noticed is that if I take modafinil when I'm trying to break one that my cravings/desires are much less.

I think it's dopamine (as opposed to the other nts modafinil is theorized to work on) because a changing short half-life SNRI dose does nothing (so it's not serotonin or norepinephrine making the change), caffeine does nothing (so not adenosine), and histamine modifiers also do nothing.
I bet that was done by JGC
Just now? In my experience, their support has been useless for some time now. Caused more stress than help several times now.
Yeah, I understand. It's definitely not ideal and I don't want to sound like I'm condoning it because it really should be improved. I'm just not sure there's an obvious solution given the US/Canadian regional/local autonomy over sales taxes, but I'm glad to hear ideas. Most towns in California, for instance, have their own sales tax rates and while this could obviously be accommodated in retail spaces (at the cost of confusing national advertising?) it makes displaying prices rather complicated on online marketplaces which currently add taxes once a shipping address is entered during the checkout process. In contrast, despite the reasonable regional autonomy in Switzerland (not too dissimilar from states in the US) a national VAT rate avoids this issue.

The obvious exception is for marketplaces that sell to other markets. For instance, the prices on Amazon.de (Germany) change if a Swiss shipping address is entered due to the different VAT rate.
This is only the second time in fifteen years of professional development I've seen someone say they work with DataFlex. What makes the language attractive to you compared to all the other languages that are around and see significantly higher adoption?
I'm skeptical of any fancy new database, because they have always been disappointing in one way or another, but this looks really promising!

ORMs work fine for relational data, until there's a lot of edge data on the joins. I looked at the docs on mobile and couldn't find an answer, how does EdgeDB handle data on joins? E.g. GraphQL "connection" types with edges.
Yes exactly. It won't take long till someone exploits it which would be more robust than the prediction models we have right now and that's what I don't want a single dime of.

I know we're not there yet, and perhaps we won't ever be, or we'll be there in 10 years, but we don't have to map every single thing in the brain in order to exploit the foundational behavior.

This… isn’t a good thing.
The official stated goal of this protest was the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Canada. They put it in writing on their website. Their protesters have used their trucks to ram counter protesters. Their are literally hundreds of criminal investigations around this, including hate crime investigations. And that is considering that the police have adopted a soft touch.

The reason that the courts shut it down is that no one knows where the money is coming from, but it is very clear that a significant percentage of it is coming from outside the country.

A commercial vehicle isn’t speech. Money isn’t speech. If you want to wave a swastika flag around, go for it. If you want to use a 10 ton machine to disable infrastructure and threaten people, that’s not free speech.

Put another way: do we really want the ability for anyone anywhere to anonymously fund any political movement?

The new integrated view for Gmail looks promising. I run my company and team using Workspace and ClickUp, and Workspace was just not chat-friendly so far despite Rooms.

Privacy is not a simple game, sadly.
YES. This is the point of the book! Chess rule absorption is quite a painful, boring process for most people. It can take a very long time, especially for children and/or folks who are not intrinsically motivated but being forced to learn to indulge a family member, friend, or something.

Ideally the learning process can be both fun and high-utility, through minigames and the other activities laid out in the book! It took me 3+ weeks of multiple hour-long classes each week to get a classroom of smart 4th graders to absorb the knight movements and play Knight Battleship competently. In the end, they did enjoy it... and once they felt mastery, they wanted to learn more.
