yes but then you're out time. So they lost nothing because they can sell the car but you lost time.

This is sort point for me. I once custom ordered a BMW with the exact options I wanted. Made a downpayment. Waited 3 months for it to arrive taking the bus to work and getting rides home from friends. It arrived at the dealer and they sold it someone else and then told me I could order another if I wanted. You can probably imagine the rage I felt.
Since you brought up trump, he was on to something when he questioned why USA still runs NATO. Europe can provide for their own defense. USA can still sell them equipment.

apple's long defended their anti-choice stance under the pretense that they have the best, fastest, lowest resource usage browser. it's long been a tiring, self-aggrandizing, & dominionist perspective- of fantastically limited consideration given how constrained & limited the platform support Safari opts for. now that even that braggadocio is crumbling, i'm wondering what's left for Apple's pompous claims about rejecting alternatives.

i confess, i don't think it matters a lot for most users how fast the system is. safari, chrome, whatever, they're close. but it's still pretty revolting that apple insists on their own reality distortion field, that they cannot engage in a healthy & honest discussion about how and why they block off choice.
What if it isn’t, and the Keynesians were lying to you?
A lot of those memes came from Russia. There's a large amount of evidence that Brexit and Trump were fueled by Russian disinformation campaigns. Quite a bit of the polarization we've seen in the US has also be fueled by them.

The sad thing is that Russia didn't even need to make anything up to make this happen. They poured fuel on our existing divisions, until we couldn't even talk to each other, then poured resources into social media to prop up one candidate while attacking the other. Our hatred made us too blind to see it happening.
Exactly.

A lot of the unexpected odd integrations of Gmail and an IMAP email client disappear, most notably including Search, which has never seemed to work quite right in Apple Mail w/ Google services.

I should of course just bail on Google, especially since they're discontinuing my previous freebie G-Suite account, but, well, you know.
> you'd have to assume that the giant corporations suddenly decided to crank the greed knob in lockstep with a massive amount of money being printed in the last two years

I mean, corporations are understood to behave as greedily as they can get away with.
Compare that to the competition:
- No one I know likes going to the dealership.. so that's close to a 100% dissatisfaction rate for a dealership experience, compared to 5% for Tesla.
That was just enough to provide a month or two of head start so that the real demand driver could kick in: People working flexibly who now had no commute spending, no vacation spending, and kept their high wage office jobs.

The amount of money the typical office worker has saved on just those two expenses is more than the stimulus checks.

It looks like this is not really an “in-place” algorithm as it uses O(n) temporary space for the array of references. (If you allow that, one can always make an array of references, use any algorithm to perform a merge on the references, then use the references to permute the original array.)

There are in-place algorithms for merging, such as Bing-Chao Huang, Michael A. Langston, “Practical In-Place Merging” (1988): http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.88.1...
Simple example: A government goes from spending 1% of GDP to deficit spending 6% of GDP to build an interstate highway network. CPI goes down, because we have _more_ goods and services.

Also, with higher interest rates, more people would buy government bonds instead of investing privately. Deficit spending on its own doesn't logically imply inflation or money-printing, or even an inflation pay cut. Wasteful spending does.
What you're ignoring is that a large proportion of the money printed (trillions) went towards "corporate welfare", inflating the profits of the very companies who then turned around and told their employees "sit tight we're tightening the purse strings due to the pandemic, no raises for you we can't afford it"
Read a detailed account of historical events - the propaganda and inflammatory rhetoric was far worse in many ways. Look at the Spanish-American War, for example.

Disinformation and misinformation may be orders of magnitude worse now, but there was no golden age.
I don't think most math undergrads (as opposed to engineering or physics students) take a PDE course.
Japan didn't experience much if any inflation in the early 2000s

QE after the 2007 financial crisis also didn't cause much inflation
Fetch Inject – Dynamically Inline Assets into the DOM Using Fetch Injection
The best C and [insert any language here] package manager is Nix. Or rather, it should be[1]. I'm fairly confident something like it will be. If you haven't, please do try it out (or maybe don't[1], but at least read the paper[2] and let its ideas sink in). I honestly just sigh and think "yet another package manager and they still haven't learned..." whenever I see a new one now.

[1]: Unfortunately documentation is famously bad, the repo that holds package declarations is full of undocumented conventions, there often isn't a "blessed" way of doing things, and there are some other warts, such as all the difficulty one may experience from having to learn a new functional, lazy, dynamically typed language. I'm not aware of active, coordinated efforts to improve on these fronts, except for new languages such as Nickel.

The sightings like yours (saw a distant light or dot moving in the distance) are typically not the interesting ones, for the reasons you describe. There are just so many unfalsifiable prosaic explanations, and just a dozen or so will account for 95% of accounts from reliable observers.

The interesting ones are "close encounters" like the Nimitz incident with multiple observers, where either the observers are making an exceptional effort to lie, or something extraordinary was truly witnessed. Extra point for those including multiple data points like radar tracks, visual recordings, or radiation burns.

Also, nit: the "flying saucer" phenomenon was popularized by the Rainier Kenneth Arnold sighting, but it was far from the first recorded sighting [0] [1].

>That stimulus check you got?

The stimulus check represented 804 billion dollars in direct to citizen spending of the government's 6 trillion dollars in spending. If your argument is "giving money directly to individuals causes inflation" we can start there, but government spending alone does not cause inflation; the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act did not meaningfully grow inflation.

We probably would not know fully in 5-10 years, but my own hypothesis is that America had it's own dark labor pool of incredibly cheap labor and when (1) Citizens were allowed to have some breathing room and look for better oppurtunities and (2) the CBP used Covid to massively ramp up deportations, labor became more expensive which clearly affected the rest of the economy.
LEDs don't really emit in the UV, unless specifically designed to do it. This is a bandgap property, a fundamental part of the material the LED is made of, so it's not changing any time soon.

The phosphors in white LEDs shift the line spectrum of the (usually) royal blue primary dice down, not up, so they're not going to cause trouble either. LEDs are not blackbody sources, which is actually useful here instead of annoying.
MOSIS, CMP, CMC. Prices start around US$20k in theory but probably more like US$200k in most cases.
Most microcontrollers do not have cache of this form (rather a simple read-ahead buffer at most).
Microcontrollers are also one of the targets of this type of library and the shift absolutely will have an effect.

Simplicity is vastly overrated.
Sure, for past loans this is true. But for governments that run perpetual deficits, they have to go out to the market to service ongoing obligations. As some point the market catches on and interest rates snap upward, leading to increased real costs of financing debt.
Socialist countries and dictatorships also agree with you that inflation is good. It's not a greedy capitalist thing, it's a 'greedy people in charge of the money' thing. Inflation is theft, and the rich protect themselves by buying stuff that basically tracks inflation. The poor get run over.
From the article:

>But with each day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky holds out, the scenes of a frustrated Russia pounding, but not managing to finish off, a smaller opponent dominate screens around the world.

>The result: Militaries in Europe that once feared Russia say they are not as intimidated by Russian ground forces as they were in the past.
Sure, for your country, in the past 80 years. Not for the countries that have influence, power, and nukes that enable them to do what they want, and to make your country do what they want too. All of the major powers are Russias-with-other-names.
There are reasons to believe "this time is different". Omicron was a huge wave through the population that had the potential to consume all the "fuel" (non-immune people), making future waves much more difficult to get started. I don't think anyone thinks covid is going away, but moving to an endemic stage.
Sure thats why the commenter said we're going to fry the world for our comfort. There are lots of straightforward steps we can take to reduce emissions, the issue is a lack of willingness

Well I am quite bullish on small reactors bringing the cost of nuclear down.

Assume we get good at both. Surely society with the energy output of nuclear is going to be much richer than one that is clearing its farms and forests for solar? (Wind is at least better on that front I suppose.)

One one hand, there is unit costs, on the other hand, there is the efficiency of big infra. Trains are better than cars, for example, no matter how efficient the production of cars gets. I don't actually want small nuclear reactors, I just want small reactors to iron out the production process, overcome the regulatory hurdles, and generally dispell the FUD.

Once that is gone, we should just crank out bigger and bigger prefab PPs, until no more global warming or fusion or whatever.
given that payment means giving something of value you would rather not part with it is clear that at the micro-level there may well be free lunches, which I find amusing because obviously the idea of the free lunch comes from the micro-level.

If Italy really got the Germans to take the fall for their deficits a few years ago and suffered no negative effects from it then there would be a free lunch at the macro level as well, although I find that unlikely.

Thank you for linking to this. There are a couple of topics here that I've tried to find a good source for for all COVID. Mostly I'm excited about the molding/casting. The various channels/sprues are difficult to design, and most sources are too general and unactionable. Yes I know I need them, now how do I compute them!

And if anyone has more sources, I'll happily take suggestions.
Ok but seriously they fund things like USAMTS which I assume gives them access to a list of promising young Americans.
You should try Databricks, especially the new Photon engine powering Spark. In general more performant than Snowflake in SQL and a lot more flexible. (There are some cases in which Databricks would be slower but the perf is improving rapidly.)
I obviously am very comfortable disagreeing with people who work on the kernel or adjacent software. Working in those areas does not at all make them correct, or even informed, especially with regards to security.

Now I wonder how color channels are added.
QE made the inflation rate above-zero instead of being negative. Its purpose was to stave off deflation.
The Reuters article speaks in terms of number of shares, not valuation. According to a Barrons article, "Foreign investors owned about $86 billion of Russian stocks at the end of last year, according to data from the Moscow Exchange." https://www.barrons.com/articles/russian-stocks-frozen-whats...

This is echoed by an FT article, which additionally says that bonds and other securities account for at least another USD $61 billion, rounding things up to USD $150 billion of total securities exposure: https://www.ft.com/content/ff0f0533-ca8f-4e7b-9cd8-28710dcee... The article seems to imply that's a conservative figure, but it's still a far cry from USD $1 trillion.
That's a lot of quote marks around things that don't appear in my posts. The only thing worth addressing is that you keep referring to locust bean gum instead of the xanthan gum I have been referring to the whole time. Xanthan gum is not a generic name for gum. It's a specific type of gum created with a specific bacteria that was found to create a gum in the 60s. It was searched for explicitly as an alternative to plant gums. It is not locust bean gum, it is not plant based, it was not used before 1960, and it is not chemically identical to anything that is those things. Maybe I need to be more explicit with you: if locust bean gum was used for thousands of years, sure, I'll eat it. I'm talking about xanthan gum and have said xanthan gum every time I've said anything about any gum.

Now please feel free to go back and find all the other points you've created from a phantom to be mad at. I'd say at least 5 of those bullets are not based on any coherent reading of my posts.
Hopefully something good likes this comes out of this war. Wars historically has removed lots of institutional inertia due to humans survival instincts.
Coronapod: What people get wrong about endemic Covid
Increasingly as we get some distance to it, the decades of the late 20th century have shed their normalizing mythology as the "best in history" (for the wealthy countries) and become one more era of human survival among many: a time we can look back upon as a slightly more brutish and uncivilized one with unique unkindnesses, even as we grapple with many of the same age-old challenges of civilization right now.
> but government spending alone does not cause inflation

I didn't say that, either. I was clearly talking about deficit spending.
Infinite scroll is probably the worst thing about modern tech aside from curation algorithms.

It's truly horid. It makes devices harder to use for anything except mindless scrolling like as if your eyeballs are trash cans for the whole world to crap into.
And in both examples, inflation did not skyrocket like it is today. Therefore QE is not solely responsible for most of the inflation that we are seeing
> suffered no negative effects from it

Nobody said they didn't suffer negative effects from it.
Harvesting my data at unprecedented speeds.
The reviews of Tesla‘s support system I‘ve seen in recent years let me come to a different conclusion: If the manufacturer is tight on money or resources, then customers will wait an excessive amount of time to get their issues fixed. Those manufacturers might also stop requiring yearly inspections and let the customer decide when to do them - you can look at that as efficiency („EVs just don’t need as much maintenance“ - which I agree with, I own an EV), but you could also call it a shortcoming in their ability to come up with a proper servicing infrastructure.
The thing that bothers me the most is housing prices that leave so many people out on the street. I think every person deserves housing. So more affordable housing, even if it looks “boring”, is exciting to me.

i feel like most media-hording is still 10 years behind the times.

x265 has been around, and it's savings are frequently >>2x at 1080p and grow from there as you increase resolution. this tech was kind of a trend for a couple years, but honestly, things have gone backwards on most torrent sites & other locations- it's gotten less elite, less compressed, been more mass-pirate-market rather than elite-pirate-market. much to everyone's colossal disadvantage.

and there's yet another sea change afoot. av1 could easily offer >2x gain, again, in compression ratios, especially at 1080p or above. it's just amazing. we could stash so much more stuff. we could peer so much more effectively. it's just big players- it's just netflix and google- who bother to get good. the underbelly of diy'ers and p2p'ers remains vested in un-elite technology, in crap lower-common-denominator technology. what a pity, for them. hording is, imo, a valiant & great effort, noble. but most hording is done poorly, with bad technology, that is heavily & sadly dated. the scene needs to up it's damned standards & stop pegging itself as loserly low levels of technology, stop being pathetic.
You're commenting on the article. In that context, it is every bit as relevant.
This is a post WWII development. I grew up in Stickney, a Chicago suburb where as late as the 70s, there were still commercial buildings scattered among the residential area (there was a tavern half a block from my elementary school, a grocery store across from a tavern¹ mid-block on a stretch of street that was otherwise all residential (modulo three churches). There were a number of houses that betrayed their original retail uses in their architecture elsewhere in the community.

⸻

1. Only recently did I learn that this particular tavern was established by the Capone operation and the cupola on the roof was used to keep watch for Federal agents so that the open alcohol sales taking place during prohibition could be hidden in case of a raid.
I wonder how much of that is people not expressing opinions that run contrary to the group consensus. Maybe you have young earth creationist friends who don't want to be mocked, and hide that belief.

I never understood this argument. Apple is releasing more macs this year. The number of users are in the billions.
The number one selling EV make (in the US) sells every car they can build (hundreds of thousands) with no incentives.
The problem with this approach is your basically teaching this as a side effect and hoping they're smart enough to actually connect all of that together vs. teaching those concepts directly and being far more understandable.

If you want people to understand that numbers are concepts / descriptions of something potentially infinite, and that it's ok to totally work with non-finite describable numbers without ever really writing out their values, just fucking start with that. I honestly think the start of most undergrad math curriculums should be a logic & foundations class with proofs, sets, number theory and the whole "numbers are more logical concepts, not really specific values" vs. calculus. Then teach calculus, with a big dose of 'what is infinity, really?'.

I think it's actually a great disservice and the hand wave that most calculus math classes do about those exact concepts really fucks over a lot of people. It makes calculus a weed out class because the fundamentals are not explained properly so a good amount of people just go into it as yet another thing they have to ape without real understanding. And for the people who don't work well with things they half understand, they really struggle, like I did. It really made my computer science degree a lot worse, because of the instance of starting all undergrad math with hand wavy calculus, for 3 or 4 classes.

I even wrote blog articles about it, it was probably the worse part of my computer science degree, and if math education was done differently where they didn't handwave, I probably would've had a much better time.

That's like saying people cannot save for free - because a government deficit is nothing more than the accounting counterparty of the excess savings of the non-government sector.

Since when did savings cause price changes?

What we have is less stuff being produced because of an increase in bureaucracy and shirking. If we got rid of the bureaucracy and sacked the shirkers, then prices would come back under control.

Or alternatively we can tax those in favour of bureaucracy and shirking, so that the transfer is 'fully funded'.

That seems very useful especially for web-sites.

What I'm thinking of is something where Microsoft would keep a publicly visible registry of all apps that have been submitted to the registry. It would be beneficial for both software produces and Microsoft as the platform producer. The registry would run all kinds of malware checks on it, and also keep an ear out for reports of threats found.
