You're wrong. Mass has nothing to do (as much as is known at this time) with quantum effects being important or not. Quantum mechanics would (as far as we know) work the same for a 1kg particle as they do for a 1eV particle.

Instead, the difference is that the antiproton can interact with a proton and annihilate, while an electron can barely interact with a proton or neutron outside of the EM attraction.
I disagree. Religion usually involves deifying a entity that you consider to be superior, because it is not human. As an example, the word Islam literally means "submission" in reference to submitting to God. I'm not sure how that's arrogant. If anything being just a creature of god inherently means that we're nothing special in the grand scheme of things.

"A Dutch friend says I should use Holland as an example of a tolerant society. It's true they have a long tradition of comparative open-mindedness. ...
And yet, I wonder. The Dutch seem to live their lives up to their necks in rules and regulations. There's so much you can't do there; is there really nothing you can't say?"

The reason for all their regulations are likely, that they live very crowded. The closer people live together - the more rules they come up after a while, to keep things somewhat stable.

Otherwise there are of course plenty of things you cannot say in holland, if you don't want people to be shocked.

Docker Hub was part of why we declined Docker for Business and instead came up with our own WSL-based workaround. Docker Hub is an anti-feature for large enterprises; we had been blocking direct access to it for a while before all this and instead providing images via internal Artifactory once we’d had a look at them.

Another major part was SSO being merely on the roadmap at the point we would have had to begin the purchasing process with our licensing service. “Well, just slap down a credit card!” That is not how large enterprises work, and Docker appears to have fallen down on their market research when they didn’t set up a way to deal with purchase orders.

I have no idea how anybody looks at Japan without realizing that the MMT people got it right.

Thought experiment: If the government printed money to send unemployed people to uninhabited farmland to start cultivating it (in complete isolation from the rest of the economy) would it cause inflation for the rest of us who aren't connected?

If that community was then connected to the rest of the world, would the economic benefit be positive?

You can clearly see that the limitation on printing money is unutilized resources in the economy.

On Windows I just have the files/repo checked out on the WSL side. At least JetBrains' products handle that very effectively (you get a performance drop the other way with that back to windows side, of course, but IntelliJ/PyCharm/etc handles that with a local cache and some magic making it behave as expected).

One other issue this also solves is that volume mounts from windows don't inotify correctly, so hot reloading doesn't work properly. But with files on the WSL side that works fine.

The FOMC(Federal Open Market Committee) is the policy arm of the Fed. They can not and do not set interest rates directly. What they do is adjust the money supply to try to influence interest rates towards a target range. One of the tools they have to do this is the the federal funds rate which is the rate that banks charge each other to borrow money overnight in order to meet their reserve requirements. The Fed Funds rate is one of the tools they have their disposal. The FOMC meets 8 times and year releases this guidance.
you're correct on the too much money, though it's not the goods that we're chasing, rather anything else that represents value.
The gold backed currency was limiting because it's incredibly hard to adjust for fast moving market. So by freeing up money supply, we can exploit the full extent of the market.

When US print money, since the world values USD, whoever buys USD will pay for that inflation. Since there're not better alternatives, they just kept buying, in a sense US is just exporting capital.

So it's no surprise that inflation will be absorbed by USD hoarding entities. say here..

This is nice, until its not. I have spent a fair amount of time over the last several years trying to make node act like the browser, or vice versa. It's doubly confusing to juniors who don't understand the difference between a language and a runtime. alert() looks like a standard function and should be specified by the ECMAScript Language Specification. But its actually specified by the HTML standard, because its Window.alert(), and Javascript's scoping rules let you call it simply as alert(). Trying to explain what's JS and what's Web is really difficult, and design decisions like this only muddy the waters.
Or you could use your capital to invest in a business to increase the supply of goods that this excess money is chasing. That would help fight inflation.

> But I think that this could also be used as an argument against, say, an airport because now people have easy access to travel to NYC, or Florida, or California and it diverts money spent from local entertainment to those cities/attractions/etc...

You're running away into pretty esoteric apples-Vs-oranges territory there. Compare local investments against other local investments, or if you're talking about a new communications hub, an airport against, say, a railway station. (Sheesh, didn't you even see how much like a cringe-worthy attempt at diversion that came across as?)

> I really wish we could get away from "XYZ rich owners" comments though because the government subsidies all sorts of people, rich or otherwise.

And I really wish we could get away from "Oh, those poor little rich owners" comments... The difference is that poor people need -- and (therefore), in many systems of ethics, "deserve" -- subsidies. Billionaires and gigacorps, not so much.

> And you can play this game with any public investment or economic decision.

Yeah, you can. But I wish you would stop.
This is free market economics: improve the product or lower the cost, or fold.
It seems like a logical way of thinking about it, but I think it would be a mistake to conclude that debt causes economic growth. Because why did the borrower need to take out a loan in the first place?

Seems like the chicken and the egg to me.
The solution is to set interest rates to a historically reasonable level, say 4%. Then, accept you're going to have a recession as asset values reset to reasonable levels.

The reason you need a reasonable risk-free rate is, without that, almost any marginally profitable that you can finance with debt will get financed. This leads to malinvestment. You can see this all around you.

Asset inflation has the insidious side-effect of damaging democracy by producing oligarchy.

An alternative solution would be simply to declare a maximum net worth and set tax rates on income over, say, $1m per year to 95%.

If it's like every other JavaScript project I've been on since 2016, it's going to actually require thousands of JavaScript packages and doing everything with it is going to be slow as molasses even on high-end developer workstations.
You probably know all this, but it may interest other people:

Declarations change the parsing of C, so even a single-pass compiler needs to keep the declarations in memory somehow; cases like `foo * bar;` can be legally parsed as either a declaration of `bar` of type `foo*` or a (useless but legal) void-context multiplication of `foo` and `bar`, depending on whether `foo` has been declared as a type with typedef. Plus, of course, preprocessor macros can do arbitrary things. In PDP-11 C days it was common to put declarations of library functions directly into your code (with, of course, no argument types, since those didn't appear until ANSI C) instead of in a header file, and the header files were very small. Nowadays header files can be enormous, to the point that tokenizing them is often the bottleneck for (non-parallel) C compilation speed; often we even include extra totally unnecessary header files to facilitate sharing precompiled headers across C source files.

So I think it probably isn't straightforward to enable small computers to compile current C codebases like Linux.

tcc, however, would be an excellent thing to start with if you were going to try it.
I’m on my second home remodel and spend a lot of time at HomeDepot. I generally avoid searching via their website or app and just use either DDG/google with the “site:homedepot.com” search operator. I get way more reliable results that way.

And at my local stores the available quantity shown on the website is rarely accurate. Fairly frustrating experience to show up when the app lists “20 in stock” and there isn’t anything there.
That just seems worse than what npm/yarn have. Despite Node's flaws, at least those have a hash check on the downloaded package against what's in the lock file.

Sure, if you put things too close together they will intersect/overlap.

This isn't an inherent problem of the technique though. You should be giving things enough space so that this kind of thing doesn't happen. It should be pretty simple to check that the smallest unit of space used anywhere isn't smaller than the amount being trimmed from the top/bottom of the text box.

Yes, the UK (I should have made this more explicit).

The UK's current deterrent force is currently expected to be replaced by the successor Dreadnought class [0] in the 2030s. They are currently projected to cost £31 billion (likely an underestimate) for four subs, each of which can carry 8 missiles max. Again, these are a horribly expensive way to deliver conventional explosives when we have cruise missiles instead.

Well the first year of the Iraq War cost the US $54 billion, according to congress's budget[0]. This doesn't include the total cost of the supporting infrastructure need to be able to deploy troops in Iraq quickly, but we can estimate that using the increase in defence budget from 2002-3, or $94 billion ($132B in 2020)[1].

According to Wikipedia, Minuteman III ICBMs have a 2020 unit cost of $20 million[2], so for the cost of an Iraq invasion, the US could have fired about 6600 missiles. Considering the invasion toppled the Iraqi government, it's pretty unlikely that firing 6600 missiles with conventional payloads would have been anywhere near as effective.

Marek et al. Reproducible brain-wide association studies require thousands of individuals (2022)

"Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has transformed our understanding of the human brain through well-replicated mapping of abilities to specific structures (for example, lesion studies) and functions1,2,3 (for example, task functional MRI (fMRI)). Mental health research and care have yet to realize similar advances from MRI. A primary challenge has been replicating associations between inter-individual differences in brain structure or function and complex cognitive or mental health phenotypes (brain-wide association studies (BWAS)). Such BWAS have typically relied on sample sizes appropriate for classical brain mapping4 (the median neuroimaging study sample size is about 25), but potentially too small for capturing reproducible brain–behavioural phenotype associations5,6. Here we used three of the largest neuroimaging datasets currently available—with a total sample size of around 50,000 individuals—to quantify BWAS effect sizes and reproducibility as a function of sample size. BWAS associations were smaller than previously thought, resulting in statistically underpowered studies, inflated effect sizes and replication failures at typical sample sizes. As sample sizes grew into the thousands, replication rates began to improve and effect size inflation decreased. More robust BWAS effects were detected for functional MRI (versus structural), cognitive tests (versus mental health questionnaires) and multivariate methods (versus univariate). Smaller than expected brain–phenotype associations and variability across population subsamples can explain widespread BWAS replication failures. In contrast to non-BWAS approaches with larger effects (for example, lesions, interventions and within-person), BWAS reproducibility requires samples with thousands of individuals."
Hi, in my startup we do a lot of web scrapinf and rely on upwork to find freelancers for our projects. Why don’t we keep in touch?
Inflation is money supply relative to the amount of goods and services. E.g. I have 500 cars in the economy and $1000 in circulation. Over time I grow the economy, and now I have 1000 cars, and I still only have $1000 in circulation. In this scenario we'd have deflation. To maintain an equilibrium I'd need to increase the money supply commensurately, to $2000. If I increased supply to $4000 I'd have inflation.

Japan's money supply growth is actually pretty constrained. From 2007 to 2017 it want from 713 trillion to 960 trillion as per the chart you linked. For the USA [1], money supply in circulation went from 7 trillion to 13.3 trillion and inflation is correspondingly higher [2]. Granted, this source doesn't include recent data around the pandemic, so it's of limited use for analysis existing inflation trends.

Why people are leaving their jobs during the Great Resignation
>You're suggesting that people bypass official procedures and/or laws in order to save time. This is a bad path to start down.

You are assuming rules say what they mean and mean what they say (and are even written where you're looking, and if they are that they're up to date). If it's your first week on the job, by all means, do the most literal and conservative thing. If it's not, well you should know what your organization actually expects of you, was is expected to be reported and what isn't.

There's a fine line to walk between notifying other departments when they need to be notified and wasting their time with spurious reports.

When maintenance discovers their used oil tank is a hair away from being a big leaking problems they just fix it because they are the guys responsible for the used oil and keeping it contained is part of their job.

Your bio lab or explosives closet isn't special. If the material is within your department's purview then that's the end of it.

Not every bug in production needs to be declared an incident.

>Maybe nothing bad happens. But next time this happens, one of my junior colleagues remembers that the 'correct' thing to do was what I did (clean it up myself after verifying nobody accessed the data). Except they screwed up and didn't verify that nobody had accessed the data in question - and now we are in legal hot water over a data privacy breach.

You can sling hypothetical around all you want but for every dumb anecdote about informal process breaking down and causing stuff to blow up I can come up with another about formal process leaving gaps and things blowing up because everyone thought they had done their bit. It's ultimately going to come down to formal codified process vs informal process. Both work, both don't. At the end of the day you get out what you put in.
