What you are describing as a 'deflationary spiral' is a collapse of nominal demand. Or, equivalent, of nominal GDP. Nominal GDP unexpectedly dropping is indeed bad news.

However, it's perfectly feasible to eg stabilize nominal GDP at some desired level. Productivity increases would then lead to a drop in the price level; without any of that spiral you describe.

That's similar to the productivity increases we have seen in eg the electronics industry over the last few decades, which lead to dropping prices for electronics.

It has been observed that finfet devices have lower reliability than planar transistors; it appears that 28nm planar would have better reliability than anything Apple is making now.

Of course, the CPU would be larger and perhaps less power-efficient. Higher reliability also might not be a design goal, as there is no reason to outlive the term of software support.
I agree with you on all grounds (I personally use make daily) however note that `make` checks dependencies via last updated time flag on files. I think it would have been a better default to cache based on hash of file. This way if document was modified, by hash wasn't changed, make shouldn't rebuild tasks that depend on this file.
If you're talking about experts in voting systems, no they didn't. Trump's CISA appointee to oversee election security, Chris Krebs, claimed the election was highly secure, which in a sense it was, because Trump had long been advertising concerns about the election which stimulated election security efforts. But in security you can never be completely sure the attacker doesn't have some trick you haven't thought of, so nobody competent claimed absolute proof of no fraud.
Kudos. I've been looking at that stuff but have lacked the bandwidth to even think about getting it to run (wish I could, really).
> If someone uploads your porn tape and you're the original author, just send a DMCA and it gets taken down. No problemo.

Unfortunately, it's not as easy. The tube sites have understaffed support and, as the credit card processing ban on Pornhub has shown, consistently made life hell for affected people. These sites are blatantly ignoring even the most basic requirements of being good citizens of the Internet.
“Goblin mode is like when you wake up at 2am and shuffle into the kitchen wearing nothing but a long T-shirt to make a weird snack, like melted cheese on saltines,” he said. “It’s about a complete lack of aesthetic."

The snack sounds disgusting, but nobody in particular cares what I'm wearing in the kitchen at 2 am. And I don't care what my neighbors are wearing or cooking in their own kitchens at 2 am.
Thanks. I am bit wary about Android devices as they become slower after some time.
Nope, it's total war. There are no civilians, everyone is fighting against the foreign invaders ( or should be - of course there are refugees and people who don't want to die, but they often don't have the option).
Whether tax incentives need to be larger to work on richer people is an empirical question we can look into.
I actually was not aware of the PineTime. As a huge Apple Watch/WatchOS fangirl, I'd honestly love to check out a far less restrictive smartwatch environment to mess around with.

I have a lot of interesting ideas that I've unfortunately been waiting for the WatchOS API's to catch up to, and I'd maybe be interested in getting on that PineTime train.

Has anyone purchased a PineTime? Can anyone give a bit of first-hand experience on what the experience is like? :)
There’s an article[1] on The Verge where an Apple spokesperson talks about this. Apparently, you can use the camera (without Center Stage) and the display. That's it. No 3D audio, no True Tone, no updates.

Of course, the PC would need an appropriate USB-C connector with support for 5K resolution.

I understand people have different ways of learning and comprehending.

No way of learning or comprehending makes 5+ discrete tasks easier than 1. There is no mental model that changes the actual bitrate flow of comprehension.

Yes, visual learners are a thing. No, visual learners do not prefer doing more work nor does it help them learn "faster". Recognizing and discriminating colors/shapes/sizes is always more work (and more abstraction! "Blue blocks are conditional statements" is learned behavior!)

I always wonder how this works? My HR office contacted me and told me unemployment application was rejected because I was still employed (someone submitted one on my behalf). Maybe states differ a lot but the unemployment office seems to check with an employer here before paying (I'm in massachusetts, you don't get unemployment if you are fired with cause). Also a unemployed friend indicated you had to stay in contact with the unemployment office showing that you were searching to get the benefit.

The police officer handling fraud I talked to said he was getting a lot of a calls about this kind of fraud.
While it is still under contention, see recent news surrounding the Amazon Basics brands.
The hardest part about requirements is that the systems engineers are profoundly unhelpful with actually giving me any.
They're not in a market where that's normal though. AFAIK AWS has never increased any price.
> t's not about any kind of skilful or technological or natural "competitive advantage" - humans are the same everywhere! - it's about how much any given country is willing to abuse its workforce

This is a terribly myopic view of the world. Having a much lower cost of living or relative stage of economic development is a competitive advantage in manufacturing low cost goods that require a lot of human input. Those wages can be and often are pretty good relative to local alternatives. Low skill, low cost manufacturing is usually a stepping stone in economic from subsistence agriculture to a more advanced economy. The conditions don't necessarily have to be bad, and are quite a bit better than a lot of agricultural work.

Having lot's of people moving from farms to cities is a competitive advantage in low cost manufacturing. We're already seeing China moving aways from some of these types of manufacturing as their economy advances. Neighboring states are using this shift to try and shift their economies away from subsistence agriculture as well.

It's fine to lobby for better working conditions, especially in trade deals, but we shouldn't deny people in other parts of the world the opportunity to move from agriculture, to light manufacturing, to more advanced economic activity.
> Geez, his metric is wonky - "made in $COUNTRY", but your rebuttal doesn't make sense either..

I did not attempt a rebuttal. I merely pasted a paragraph from a news article to point out that his claim doesn't seem to match up with what is commonly reported. Is his claim based on data? Or how about your claims? Or are both based on what categories of pornography and porn actresses viewers watch?
"I shouldn't have to carefully scrutinize every link ON Google and then double check I'm actually ending up where Google said it was sending me."

I've noticed it only a handful of times, but phone numbers for listings, can't be trusted either anymore [1]

GrubHub also does it: there has been more than one occasion where I've searched a restaurant in a new town while traveling for work, called the phone number to inquire about a menu item thinking I was dialing the restaurant but I had instead dialed a GrubHub or Goggle contact center.

At first I didn't realize what was going on, but quickly put it together after ordering from a restaurant that appeared in Google, using the "order form" and getting a phone call from a different voice telling me the item I ordered hadn't been sold by the restaurant in weeks due to sourcing issues.

"I just spoke with Mark, he said you do sell it"

"We don't have anyone named Mark working here"

I go check the listing again, check the phone number, and ask the person on the other end of the line what the restaurant business telephone number is: sure enough it's a completely different number.

Not sure how widespread this is or how to tell which restaurant phone numbers on these platforms take me to someone actually at the establishment, but....well...shit like this.

There is a huge decline in birthrates nationwide, so the situation is the same in suburbs. Combined with living much longer than in previous decades, plus a decrease in number of people in each household, it can only mean you see children less frequently relative to non children compared to previous decades.

https://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop2.asp

Add on top children staying inside more due to different entertainment options and increase in riskiness of vehicle collisions due to height of vehicles being higher and number of miles driven being much higher, and it all lends to the same phenomenon.
It's also harder to learn to program when you keep running into syntax errors. I suspect that's a big part of the allure of these visual languages.

I don't know if that's good or bad--maybe a little of both. It seems like overcoming syntax errors is a pretty good first-pass filter for determining if one has the mettle for coding. On the hand, not everyone is a professional builder, but it doesn't hurt to know how to tighten a screw or swing a hammer.
This definitely depends. I'm at a startup and I'm close enough to the business that having features DOES matter, so releasing them has material value. There are metrics to follow, but there are also individual customers asking for stuff too.

I think it's bigger companies where this mentality starts to become pervasive with promos.

If you've heard of 'karma farming', you know that Reddit upvotes can be gamed. There are numerous accounts that accumulate upvotes (similar to HN commenter score) by simply reposting popular posts from 4-6 weeks ago, aka the right amount of time for most daily users to forget that they had previously seen it. Usually this would occur on high-volume, high-density subreddits like r/pics, r/funny etc where there are lots of new posts each day.

Then, those high karma accounts can be used to astroturf on more valuable real estate, the sections of Reddit where people ask for product recommendations. Posts made by high karma accounts are given greater visibility in the Reddit algorithm, which correlates to a higher number of upvotes as more people see it in their feed.
USA discovers what Europe have dealt with forever. I am aware of the huge size of the USA (and Canada, the number 2 contender for highest annual milage), but the black-gold rush wasn't going to last forever. It amazes me that even excluding cross country or even out of town visits is almost impossible without a car in the US.

"This thread, HERE, is about Ukraine. You're trying to make it about Yemen."

No, I am trying to make it about peace. How to resolve conflicts. And I seriously doubt we can really resolve conflicts, if we only solve some conflicts, but profit of others. Because yes - we profit of the war in Yemen. By selling weapons to Saudi Arabia and buying their oil (and in the case of the US also with direct military involvement). As long as we do that(and all the other shit) - how can anyone take us seriously when we say we care for peace and democracy? That's double standards and hypocrisy, which is the fuel for war and conflict.

"the best thing I can do until I'm ready, is fight propaganda."

So you want to fight propaganda? Why not fight the propaganda, that we are the good guys fighting the bad guys. Because this is not true, if we only do it sometimes and ignore the many times we don't.
This looks good! I'm definitely behind efforts like this, especially regenerative CO₂ sequestration. Two questions:

1. What are the trade-offs you make (if any)? Are the trees in any way less robust or "healthy" than "natural" trees?

2. How do your trees compare to Empress trees, which can supposedly capture 103 tons of carbon per acre per year [0]?

First time hearing about this, though the similarity to Nuke is uncanny.
I'm happy to see OpenFX getting treated as a first class citizen and not be relegated to be the unwanted child of a bigger compositor.

Definetly gonna try it out.
> A lot of people don't (and in my opinion, shouldn't) conflate such a primal activity as "sacred". Is it really a good idea to put sex up on a pedestal?

I think people should have a realistic view of what sex is. It certainly is not a mechanical & purely physical act (perhaps thats what you mean by "primal"). Sex represented in porn tends be unrealistic and treats women as objects purely for male gratification, to use as some sort of sexual punching bag and evacuate feelings. Essentially it teaches viewers to dehumanise women and dissassociate from real life.
I had the same experience when all the alternative rock radio stations shut down in our area, after their heyday had passed. All the music I had been listening to for years was suddenly no longer on the air, and unless I remembered something specific I had no way to track it down.
The only thing that I've seen almost universally get kids to try to learn to touch type with enthusiasm (perhaps too much) are games.

Just like how using Scratch is like (well is) playing a game.

Coming at children's learning from an adult perspective often isn't that useful. They just don't think like us a lot of the time.
But on the flip side, i can walk to a bubbling stream that's right in my back yard. I have never gotten mugged, never had to worry about shitty neighbors yelling loud enough to hear through the walls of my house, never needed to thread my way through panhandlers or beggars, never had shit stolen from me, and can see deer and wildlife sometimes even walk through the streets at night.

People seem to think a lack of privacy, quiet, and safety is this massive benefit.
All those comments about "interesting" assembly mnemonics for various architectures and not a single person mentioned the 6809's SEX (Sign EXtend) instruction.
Or replaced with orders for Studios. I'm not in the market for a laptop, but if I were getting a computer before last week, I probably would've gotten an m1max MBP because I always want more memory. Now, I've got a desktop option.

Not this again. They don't mean anything except for being purely marketing designations
Anything that drew attention to it was a risk, and that certainly drew attention.
"Gnostic" as in hidden knowledge -- "You're really in the Matrix!" Surely that's what "red pill" is about(?); that's the film reference.

Though asterices could perhaps be a dog whistle too: "Only my desired recipients understand." A dog whistle of taboo gnosis.

(When you go to an art gallery you hear lots of dog whistles: The text describing each piece is full of strange word-patterns. Often the repetition or gratuitous insertion of an unexpected word, e.g. "bodies", often as a double- or triple- entendre. The cant(ations) are easy to notice, once you dwell on the strangeness and ask yourself: "Why are they talking like that?")

I suppose gnosis tends to live outside the Overton Window, thus would go hand-in-hand with dog-whistles. Related, the groups with this "knowledge" tend to have developed their own (incompatible) moralities -- and indeed, induction to such a group involves violation of the conventional morality (think killing a random person to enter a gang). "You can't leave us now; among the Others you'll feel guilt."

So these three go together: Gnosis, dog-whistles, and "righteous sin". I suppose the last one develops last.
>It worked in China (seemingly)

No, it didn't, they've just been censoring their cases and deaths, and arresting journalists and activists who try to report the truth.

But as long as there are future generations, there's always a chance to give more kids early training. We could start by giving them wide open computers where the ability to modify whatever program they're running is always at hand, like OLPC aspired to do. I regret that, so far, my nieces and nephew (ages 7 and under) have grown up with closed Fire tablets instead; that was partly my fault.
The history of Make on Windows would Make one think twice about relying on it. What shell do you get when running Make on Windows?

> Something like Stockholm syndrome?

More like PTSD and the difficulty it can produce dealing with normal situations.

Stockholm Syndrome is something invented on the spot, by someone integral to advising the police violence in question, to leverage misogyny to dismiss criticism of unnecessary police violence endangering hostages in a particular event, that remains a popular idea because media (both news and fictional) likes invoking it.
Parallelism is pretty useful for just a 'task runner' too.

I've (ab)used Make for server pushes, and sometimes you want those to run one at a time, and sometimes you want -j 100 (sometimes -j 100 is even effective).
I wish it had promotion. I wish they didn't associate "mini" with "non-pro" - I am sure battery life and space are the reasons, but I find it very hard to consider getting a phone with only 60hz refresh rate after having a 120hz screen.
Thanks, I'll look up the journals you suggest.

By "just" I meant to clarify the use of "ML". It's often used to mean "deep learning" and while I thought you didn't use it that way I wanted to make sure.

I normally think of neural nets as a primarily connectionist approach to machine learning (although not necessarily statistical: the first artificial neuron was propositional logic-based). I'm curious to read research that treats them in a different manner. Can you recommend some?

Thanks in advance (again)!
22% increase in some per-GB costs and 50% increase in some per-request costs of the most fungible, commodity service any cloud offers. Really no idea what to make of this. At least it seems reasonable to expect further pricing changes from other clouds in the coming weeks (and knowing AWS, maybe even an announcement in the coming day or two)
I would _love_ to have this (as well as dark mode and a few CSS tweaks for better line wrapping) baked in to the main site, as 2020-era options.
In theory, nothing, just specialization. This software is an open-source answer to the standard in the visual effects industry, Nuke https://www.foundry.com/products/nuke-family/nuke.

In the media industry, 2D and 3D roles employ very different skill sets, so while Blender could evolve to offer a robust package for compositors, this likely won't be their primary focus.

Ask HN: How can scam callers fake a mobile phone number?
I'm with T-Mobile and I just received a phone call on my mobile phone from another number where everything except for the last 3 digits was exactly matching my own number. I found that suspicious, but I was curious enough to pick up the call. The other person greeted me with "We are very important this is Interpol!" in seriously broken English, so I suspected a spam call and hung up to try to call them back. That didn't work because the phone number they were calling me from does not actually exist. Like I immediately get the T-Mobile announcement informing me that this is an invalid number.

Now I am wondering:

- How can a spam caller call me with a source phone number that does not exist?

- Shouldn't my mobile phone network verify that the caller - which was also inside their network - is a valid subscriber? Otherwise, how can they bill someone for this call?

- How does this kind of scam call work technically?
> I think people regard phones in different ways, with the phone power users wanting a mini tablet, and other people wanting something much smaller. There is a significant contingent of people who practically live on their phone, so I can understand wanting a huge screen.

My mother wants a big phone, "biggest that still fits in my purse" as she puts it. She isn't a power user, and she doesn't use the phone all that much, it's her iPad that she lives on. I think the reason big phones won out over small ones isn't because of some sneaky marketing push, it's because the largest part of the market wants big phones instead of tiny screens that fit in one hand.

It's similar to the car enthusiasts who insist a manual brown diesel wagon would sell well, but of course that's just the loudest 10 people on the Internet.
What definition of clickbait are you using here? In my head, clickbait is still "You won't BELIEVE this ONE CLEVER TRICK! Astrophotographers HATE him!", or something like that. I'm guessing you don't like the emotional wording in "jaw-dropping"?
A few months ago the ISS passed through my city during sunset, while me and my family were hanging out outside. It was an amazing experience. I saw it first, it was reflecting the sun so it looked like a shooting star but it was too slow for a shooting star and too fast for a plane. It was too bright for it to be satellite? So I googled ISS position and it matched! We were able too see it for a while.
I wonder why we can't have a unified tool that supports both access modes. A syntax that's "easy to parse" should also be easy to render into visual snap-blocks.
Congrats on the launch!
Not related, but I just finished reading The Book of Koli, where genetically modified trees get out of control and nearly wipe out mankind, so this made me chuckle.
>In passing, we’ll note there is Mac Studio version sporting a single M1 Max chip that happens to weigh 2 pounds less, most likely the result of a smaller power supply.

This article was published on 13 March. It's been known for 5 days (as of the time of this comment) that the difference in weight is due to the Ultra variant's using a copper heat sink, as opposed to an aluminum one. The whole article has this kind of feeling of off-the-cuff, underinformed pontification, and I don't think it's a very good one.
