It's often different subsets of users in these threads. People tend to read and comment on stories they're interested in. Any bias in this interest can become amplified. For example, most commenters on stories claiming that low-level environmental pollution causes large socioeconomic effects believe the claim. Dissesnting comments are likely to be downvoted, so people with dissenting opinions don't bother commenting. Each topic becomes its own echo chamber.

There are discentralized digital currencies that don't require insane energy consumption. But since clean energy is essentially unlimited on our planet, this isn't a reason to avoid conventional blockchains (that reason would be their abysmal scaling behavior). None of them provide any price stability at all -- or wouldn't, if more than precisely zero goods and services were priced in one of them. (Certain DeFi markets have elements of a banking system that might, concievably, offer some price stability.)

The COVID-19 helicopter drops -- which were performed by the Treasury, not the Fed -- certainly could cause inflation. But this would generally be an inflationary shock, not an ongoing inflationary regime. Instead, it's the lockdowns (or hysteria more generally), which damaged the structure of the global economy. You can think of the inflation as the cost of rebuilding these networks, of convincing people to work together again. Simply put, things become cheap when they're produced by efficient networks. If those networks decay, things become more expensive.

Antiparticles have oposite quantum numbers, so it means they also have oposite electric charge. Basicaly, they would attract as much as possible and, you know, kaboom. This is a compostite particle made of quarks, which under annihilation produce their gauge particles - gluons. These quickly undrego hadronization - will pair-up to produce mesons. These are unstable af so they decay. Ultimate fate is photons, electrons, positrons and neutrinos.
Even, antiproton can annihilate with neutrons, which makes sense given similar internal structure. Keep in mind that during conversions energies are preserved. So that when lighter particles are produced, they move faster. So yes, it would be ripped apart, kind of.

If this seems too long to read, it's about a domain name registration dispute between RedHat and a volunteer who registered wemakefedora.org (RedHat was seeking to gain control over the domain).

The arbiter not only found against RedHat but also made a declaration that the dispute was brought in bad faith.

The condensed excerpt is:

"Accordingly, the Panel finds that the Respondent has rights or legitimate interests in the <wemakefedora.org> domain name both because Complainant consented to Respondent’s use of the domain name so long as the website followed Complainant’s trademark guidelines and because Respondent is making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain misleadingly to divert Internet users or to tarnish Complainant's FEDORA trademark."

and from the conclusion,

"In light of these circumstances the Panel finds that Complainant brought this proceeding despite having clear knowledge of Respondent’s rights or legitimate interests in the domain name and that the proceeding was brought primarily to harass the domain-name holder."
This is an incredibly bigoted screed. Describing human beings who were the economic engine for 40-50 years and paid in to the system as a "parasite" and a "purely an extractive cost center" is truly appalling.

I don't think Kaepernick is really relevant here because he didn't piss off most people, he pissed off 32 mostly white billionaires in their 70s and 80s. IE, it's less that he got "cancelled" by society in general but rather he got cancelled by an insular cabal. That culture really doesn't reflect the culture of society as a whole.

Inflation has many inputs and looking at inflation strictly through a monetary lens will provide a distorted picture as to why there is inflation.

Additionally, MMT states that it needs to use taxes to manage inflation, which the US federal gov't is clearly not doing, which undermines the testability of the theory.
At this point, I think it more resembles lying to children about Santa Claus. I don't understand why people do it.

I feel no need for subsequent generations to recapitulate my mistakes. I may have learned something the hard way, but I have little interest in encouraging or participating in what amounts to a de facto practice of 'cogitational embryological parallelism'.
> The bond market is doing the rate cuts for them.

Can you elaborate? I don't understand.
MMT has seemed to me to be an academic fig leaf over the indirect taxation which occurs when more money is printed. MMT is fundamentally wrong, and everyone smart knows it is, but you as an individual can't make any sort of "respected" career as an economist unless you say the right things or are stupid enough to believe them.
I think this particular advice from The Intelligent Investor is unreliable. Back then, bond yields were substantially higher, dividend yields were significantly higher, equity valuations we significantly lower, etc etc. The rest of the book is top notch though.

These are good illustrations of the problem with the popular "NYT op-ed" type arguments for the claim "speech that upsets someone is violence".

These folks argue (with scientific citations!) that words can cause physical pain and stress, and that actions that cause such things are basically tantamount to violence. What's the difference, right? If I feel bad, what does it matter whether you said mean words to me or you punched me?

The problem is, words can cause stress in all sorts of situations because social interactions can be inherently stressful. There is no non-stressful way to end a relationship or deliver a bad performance review. But sometimes it needs to be done.

Punching someone is extremely different. It's not at all something that normally has to be done, unless perhaps you were just punched first. Physical violence is fundamentally different from speech because speech has an absolutely vital dual purpose of communication, which physical violence doesn't have.

To avoid calling a huge variety of legitimate speech acts violence, we'd have to redefine violence in some tortured way, like "stuff that causes harm and stress unless it was necessary/justified".

I don't think we should redefine the most emotionally salient words in the English language just so that activists' favorite slogans can be retroactively deemed logical.

> I never quite understood how this theory would work while avoiding inflation

I see this sentiment any time MMT is brought up. I think it shows a misunderstanding of what MMT is saying.

While I’ve got my own issues with MMT, it’s always been made clear by MMTers that inflation is an important signal to respect and that you can’t infinitely ‘print’ money due to the constraint of real resources.
I work for a large cloud provider and it’s even worse than you imagine because this same thing has happened to us. I don’t work on cloud, but we use cloud internally for our other products and devs on those teams are expected to manage all of this themselves with little guidance. We have no dedicated ops or infra person on my team. Everyone is just considered a generic software engineer. This wasn’t always the case until the recent push for devs to own all parts of the stack.

I'm sorry but all those examples and Deno's documentation in general should be in JavaScript. I respect the devs right to choose which ever language they want, but Deno seems to want to be the standard bearer for the power of scripting and web standards [1]. If that's the case, then they are causing more harm than good by focusing exclusively on TypeScript, which isn't a language as much as a set of macros on top of JS. TS should remain a niche for those projects that can benefit from type safety, not promoted as some sort of better alternative to JavaScript, because it's really not.

It is not simply "you need to pick someone or some company". If the work was legitimately not created by a human, it is ineligible for copyright. This is an important distinction.

For example, you can't register a copyright for a naturally weathered rock in nature, and just say that it's a sculpture and I want to assign copyright to someone or some company.

Now, if you put the rock there, to let it be weathered, then you can copyright it. The distinction is that a human was involved in the creation, not that you "picked" a human.

No, from what I've observed, such laws most directly constrain those who fund research as well as those who solicit/promote it. Often they accompany other criminal charges rather than motivate prosecution as a primary charge.

Security and espionage laws are often not directly enforceable. Their value is to "pile on", adding severity to related matters, such as charges committing or aiding past terrorist acts or planning therefor. Ideally the threat of direct prosecution for a crime would deter possible perpetrators, but making penalties more severe and extending incarceration are useful roles for laws too.
I mean, the really glaringly puzzling thing is the lossy process of hand-transcribing the information from the authoritative (and necessarily structured) source to a muddy, ambiguous target. Obviously somebody cares enough to put the schedule on the website but the neurons that understand that this could be a simple automated transformation operation instead of an additional task for somebody on the comms team are nonexistent.

But then that somewhat affirms your point about the yes-ministerization that occurs the second information systems (which are technologically invariant) touch computers.

Unless you mix oxygen in, hydrogen will just burn, not explode. 2/3 of the Hindenburg crew and passengers made it out alive, despite the visual impressiveness of the fire.

Good remark. Many people believe that Galileo was burned but it’s simply not true (I don’t even know where it comes from).

IIRC the most serious punishment he got was a home-arrest which he got after being rude to pope (which he was after he was forbidden to state his hypothesis as fact).

Also as a side note: Galileo didn’t form a hypothesis good enough as it predicted planets’ movements poorly. It was Kepler who formed much more accurate model and it got accepted by the Church.

There are also some other misbelieves about the Church like that they forbidden spreading the theory of evolution (while in fact they forbade priests to criticize it openly).

Worth noting that a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, AND an electron anti-neutrino, so that lepton number is conserved (electron is +1 and anti-neutrino is -1). This interaction conserves charge and baryon number as well.

This is a neat idea. I wrote something similar recently but with the aim of encrypting sensitive values (like API keys) in YAML config files, for similar reasons — so people without the key can see most of the config but not the secret parts.

That's assuming they can actually hit and inflict sufficient damage.

The article is estimating that it's at most 2 megatons (still a lot, but 50x smaller) and that it's NOT supercavitating, so it would not travel at 120mph.

The other article does not support the conclusion that carriers are obsolete, at all. It poses the question, but does not answer it.
