I think the takeaway is that an new editor has to be a platform, not just an app. Emacs was an OS for running Lisp code from the beginning, and it was trivially easy for end users who weren't Emacs developers to add their own extensions to it. VSCode has a rich enough API that JavaScript devs were able to do the same with it, and while I think Lisp >>> JS, there are a lot more JS devs out there who can add and tweak extensions, so it grew a huge fan base quickly.
The article is a bit thin on two difficult and important factors for makers: How do you decide what your hourly rate is, when it is also unlikely you are making something so unique no one else makes something similar - ie. how do you create compelling arguments for differentiation.

In the first instance, in a first world country, to cover the high cost of living and to also take retirement and other such things into account, I’d estimate $50/hr is the floor. Where I live a plumber will earn $80-120hr so even then it’s on the low side if you are a skilled maker who has had to develop skills over years.

In the compelling differentiation department, I think it comes down to storytelling and materials + workmanship. This trifecta has to be woven into a credible narrative to sell your product.

After all that, you need to market it… and we’ll that’s something else entirely…
That sounds like perjury.

Fed funds rate in the early 80s were at their historical peak. We are still currently at near historical lows.
Yes, but I guess what I'm implying is that you're just going to have multiple actors exploiting whatever they like under the banner of "Stewardship"
> you don't usually hear the quiet part out loud like that from this Fed chair

Is it implying / could be construed in some negative way? Like, "slow demand" means "poor people need to buy less", or something?
The absence of proven benefits is the issue. It is unscientific to mandate behaviour without proven benefit.

The issue for me, and I'm reading it in a lot of these comments is that there is no endgame. The times I've been asked "where is your mask?" I've never had an empirical answer to "when does it stop?"
All commercial entities I have worked for wanted to locally host docker hub for cost, resiliency and security reasons.

Third parties even produced patches to do this but upstream rejected them.

They wanted a monopoly on burning server and network time on CI jobs. Now they have it, and I'm not sympathetic if it wastes their money. I'm more concerned that it wastes my time.

Exactly. When your colleague wants to write new code in your repo you do a code review. When a stranger writes a large amount of code shouldn't you also do a code review?

I'd recommend easing yourself into an existing technical community organized around something you use or find interesting. (This will probably be software/hardware, but it could honestly be any field of knowledge you find interesting--there are inevitably anthropologists, biologists, painters, photographers, etc. out in the world who wish they had some tool they don't know how to build.)

To start, just explore, learn, and help others. (If you find this boring, it's a good sign to pick another community.) Sooner or later, you'll bump into real bugs and missing features/tools, and you'll have an excuse to start learning how to implement them. If you feel like you are understanding very well (perhaps you're able to regularly help people from memory) and no good opportunities have presented themselves, you could also start asking around. I would focus on people who are visibly working on their own projects; ask for any standalone projects on their todo lists that they don't have time/energy for.

---

As an aside, the right project probably depends on what motivates you. Not what motivated you to post this--but what motivates you to keep waking up on this side of the dirt each day. I.e.:

- If you are motivated by learning more than building, you may be able to get away with picking something at random.

- If you are more motivated by building things (a good test--does leaving things unfinished weigh heavily on you?), you'll probably do best if you can find something that will scratch an itch of your own. When you're scratching your own itch, it's easier to avoid analysis-paralysis over the needs of users that you don't have yet. Unfortunately, there's a chicken/egg problem here. It's easier to find itches when you're already working on some kind of project (of your own, or with others). I regularly bump into little things that could make a good project.

- If you are indeed more motivated by helping other people, it's good to start preparing now for the possibility that you are in for a rough ride. There are a lot of missing little tools out in the world that would be useful for other developers or the general public--but there's also a vast sea of interesting little tools that've already been built that have somewhere between 0 and 100 users. You will not only have to solve the problem, but to help others you'll probably have to promote your own work. (Pay attention to whether this sounds boring, exciting, or horrifying. You can overcome boring/horrifying if you are really committed, but it may be a grind if you aren't...)

They don't raise rates rapidly, as that can cause a shock. They're expecting to dribble small increases out regularly over the next year.

The East German Police after WWII had a policy of Zersetzung, their type of petty, persistant psychological harassment that disrupted people's lives.

I'm curious, did they stop teaching in school that Zersetzung happened in East Germany in the context of WWII? I was taught in High School about that.

Every person in the US who has had their purchasing power destroyed over the past ~18 months.

Unfortunately, most people were/are too drunk on (maybe temporary) housing and stock market gains to care.

Cheap money, free money and rampant speculation could all have easily been cut off a year ago and we would have had a much “softer landing”. Now we’re in a much more precarious position and may end up fighting stagflation possibly causing years long general economic malaise.

It is bewildering that they expect people to actually believe intelligent people to discount the IR footage from the F-18 just based on this article that reads like the "it was a weather balloon" trope we often get whenever we ask questions.

Anyone on Mars would have very clearly seen the Rover landing and known exactly what it was and where it was coming from. They also didn't arrive in Mars from the opposite end of the Galaxy, they arrived from the next planet over.

Most importantly, no one on Mars would think that the rover or helicopter are defying theaws of physics, bending space time or anything like that, which are real claims made by army personnel about the objects seen in some of these videos.

If they were able to do it without any repercussions or consequences, why would they ever stop doing it?
To be honest I kind of doubt there's a large enough amount of said folks that this would be worth doing (do you have a source beyond "large numbers"?).

Besides, even disabled need a place to live, and they are probably contributing to the region by purchasing goods.
That's like judging humanity by ZOMG Fail videos you saw on tiktok. Call a friend, get a ride and see for yourself. It's been months now since I've had a safety-related intervention. The biggest problems are things like lane selection and timidity.
We should recall that not only did the US cut rates and spend a lot of money through the covid recession, when things were bad, it ignored that first bit of advice before Covid when things were good (it's hard to remember now how hot the economy was in 2016-2019, but it was really hot), by cutting taxes and continuing to print money and keep the rates low to cover it. As the tax cut detractors correctly predicted, those tax cuts (and the growth that didn't happen enough to cover them) reduced the US's leverage to respond when an actual crisis came up.
Do you have a source for that? Sounds too high to be plausible. With a population of around 25 million, that would mean that 1 out of every 500 people would be an informant.
Yup, that's kind of where I am at. I think I lean more towards "this definitely isn't aliens", but if it's aliens then I definitely think these are unmanned drones keeping an eye on us.
> economic activity has some dependence on the derivative of interest rates

If interest rates go down, it's easy to roll over old promises and make new ones besides. If interest rates go up, promises must be kept or the business will fold.

At the end of every business cycle, interest rates are low and there are lots of unprofitable "zombie companies" that operate by simply rolling over their promises. In order for the economy to grow, interest rates must be hiked to do a controlled burn and remove this underbrush. Zombie companies have to actually die. This is painful at the best of times.

Political will formation will be doubly hard this time around because A. there is more national debt (so we probably need to soft-default on it and inflate it down, first) and B. last time around Carter did the burn and Reagan got the growth and the credit, so the question is who wants to be Carter this time around.
I also prefer Home Depot search, but having something labeled as "in store", driving there, and finding that it doesn't exist (appliances are especially bad) is infuriating. I'm basically right between two Home Depot and one Lowes. With Home Depot, I almost always have to go to both, and usually end up saying "f*ck it" and then go to Lowes and pay a couple dollars more. I now just go straight to Lowes because my time is worth more than a few dollars in savings. My wife also refuses to go to Home Depot for anything, from her own experiences, saying they never have anything in stock.
Space is really big. The difference in effort between getting an oversized RC car to Mars and getting a huge supermaneuverable space-and-aircraft to the nearest habitable planet is about the same as walking down tree driveway to get your paper and… well, getting a huge supermaneuverable space-and-aircraft to the nearest habitable planet.

Then doing it over and over just to play mind games with the primitive apes on the planet while somehow evading anything resembling a decent camera or photographer?

I’m not going to say it’s strictly impossible. But it sure as hell isn’t plausible.
Appreciate the feedback! We've had people use organizations in both ways, honestly. The implementation is definitely more like a Gmail group of users than a company.

In your example, some people have implemented it as Acme is the organization, and some people have implemented it as specific teams within Acme are an organization.

I suspect we'll need to add a second tier (e.g. a team or a group) underneath a more rigid definition of a company. Would that have made things more clear?

How much of the current inflation has anything to do with interest rates? You think oil/gas prices will care much about the Fed's action?

> People read "Navy confirms authenticity of the video" as "This is important and Navy can't explain it."

Precisely. There is a huge gap between what the Navy has actually claimed about the videos and what people think the Navy has claimed. 'The video is authentic' is not the same as 'the video shows what it's purported to show.'
Takeoff and landing distances are based on surface conditions, and those conditions have to be known for pilots to make accurate decisions for the type of aircraft they are flying. Presumably unexpected water on the runway (which might later freeze, too) would cause the state to deviate from what was expected.

For a particular plane, there are some runways that are long enough for takeoff when dry, but not (say) safe for takeoff with water/ice because you cannot abort safely.

This is less of a thing for planes flying back and forth between large commercial hubs (since those same aircraft fly every day, in whatever conditions, they are generally sized accordingly). For a military heavy-lift transport, though, this becomes more of a thing.
I don't think they burn the hydrogen at all. Rather, it's turned into water and free electrons by some chemical process whose details I totally forgot.

One idea I've seen floating around would be having small scale nuclear plants near airports producing hydrogen from water and electricity (the reverse process of what happens in the plane turbines).
That's true, but in the same time... We still have so much to discover, no matter the subject -- I study physics and, even at my level (not very advanced), there are obviously entire domains that are not clearly understood even by the most brillant minds.

But the problem is maybe that: the amount of knowledge (and intelligence) needed in order to achieve something significant for science is bigger and bigger, and grow everytime a Einstein discovers something.
I think it's almost criminal how under appreciated this is-- Ross Ashby was able to create self-regulating homeostasis devices using, "analog" equipment in 1948. It's really alarming to me that there seems to be lack of appreciation for the, "cybernetics conferences" period of the development of what we now refer to as Computer Science-- I haven't met a single AI engineer in the field that's familiar with the work of William Grey Walter or John McCarthy (kind of outside scope) and somehow that feels a bit like societal fraud-- It's like a civil engineer not knowing who Archimedes or Issac Newton is or something.

Yes.

Person-A was in an online forum I was part of. Person-A said to Person-B, who was getting emotional in a discussion, to not act emotional, as it was a factual discussion.

Person-B accused Person-A of being insensitive to women, as it turns out Person-B was female.

Person-A did not know Person-B was female, as Person-A didn't use forum avatars, and the name Person-B used wasn't an obvious female name in Person-A's culture. In other words, Person-A could prove not knowing the gender of Person-B.

This was not sufficient, and Person-A was banned from the forum.

Ironically, Person-B was one of those loud "women and men are as competent as each other" sorts, which leads one to wonder why she needed special handling.

The icing on the cake: Person-C defended Person-A, knowing that the gender of Person-B was not known at the time of the comment. Person-C was banned from the forum.

The forum, by the way, was a professional forum of one of the largest tech companies. Everyone here would know the name of the company, and being banned from this forum essentially was a light way of getting onto a blacklist of several other tech companies. This actually eventually led to Person-C quitting technology entirely a year or two later.

My favorite is the time the FBI sent a bunch of fake correspondence making it seem like a bunch of prominent civil rights leaders were cheating on their spouses and was very confused when nothing came of it because said spouses already assumed they were and didn't care.

Surely they aren't during stuff like that, and "thwarting" "terrorist plots" where the "conspirators" are FBI assets themselves

> Most surprising part of this FOMC had to be when Powell said "we would like to slow demand" during the press conference, you don't usually hear the quiet part out loud like that from this Fed chair.

That's...not really a “quiet part”, it's the widely acknowledge, overt nature of managing inflation. That the Fed’s dual mandate involves employment and price stability, and that those are in tension because controlling inflation often involves mitigating demand, while promoting employment enhances demand is not viewed as a secret. It’s like Fed 101, and Fed board members (chair or not) very often do not walk on eggshells about it.

I think what you're describing is exactly what's claimed. /Lowering/ interest rates leads to growth, not low interest rates. I don't think many economists would dispute that.

The general model is that interest rates, lowering taxes, and increasing government spending are tools for shoring up the economy during a recession. During a growth period, interest rates should be raised, government spending lowered, and taxes raised, so we have room to adjust them for the next recession. This can, in theory, smooth out the boom-bust cycle which otherwise naturally results.

The problem is that we rarely raise interest rates, reduce spending, or raise taxes, since it's politically unpopular. Many of these tools are harmful; for example, outside a few domains like infrastructure and medicine, long-term high government spending tends to /harm/ the economy.

Olsen (and a lot of other people) conflate the two. Absolutely, crypto prices mooning contributes to a widening divide between haves and have-nots (or early adopters and later arrivers). This is an issue with everything else too. People buying land in an up-and-coming city have an unfair advantage over people trying to rent a closet in a densely packed metropolis. People being born today inherit a planet that has been stripped clean of resources and polluted for centuries.

Late-stage capitalism's end game is to consume everything and everyone. Crypto doesn't fix that, despite some people claiming it as a goal. In some ways, crypto can make this easier (improved market efficiency). In other ways harder (transparency, democratization of access)
First I have heard of this and quite interesting to learn. Could you explain the difference ? Does this mean they are going to implement the rate increase some point in future ala target ?
