> We live in a similar (or even higher) acceleration now, with a lot of us born during floppy disks, magnetic tapes and punch cards and we're witnessing having the entirety of world knowledge in our pockets, anywhere in the world, for free!

I've been here (old enough to at least meaningfully spectate) for almost all of the Internet revolution and for all of the Web's history, and that what's available online is still really far from "the entirety of world knowledge", most of the parts that matter aren't free, and that what is there is horribly poorly-organized and poorly-presented, is part of why I'm pessimistic on the whole technological-progress-as-meaningful-progress thing.

A huge proportion of the intellectual value of the free (as in beer) Internet is tied up in a single book and academic paper piracy website. A half-decent academic library still crushes the Web, and it's not even a close contest, if you only count legally-distributed free (to the user) material. This should not be the case, but it is.

We've seen about three decades of the Web's promise squandered by broken social structures, laws, and economic incentives. Web-native material remains anemic and largely secondary. The Web's promise as a repository of knowledge and computers in general's utility as teaching tools remain, as far as I can tell, badly under-explored, without much sign of improving soon.

We should have an entire, hard-to-beat-by-any-means edutainment-heavy curricula (plural) by now, so engaging it's hard to get kids to stop learning and go ride a bike. Instead, that space has been, at best, treading water since back when I was its target audience. We have institutions that could push these uses, open interoperability between platforms, free interactive materials organized in a useful way, et c., and which have the money to at least make a good attempt at it, but they mostly rest on their laurels and collect pay checks (Wikimedia Foundation, Firefox, that kind of thing) or are just bizarrely uninterested (governments—gee, wouldn't any amount of serious work on that front have been hugely helpful in the last couple years?). The best we have is something like Khan Academy, a better-than-nothing but still sadly-limited marriage of video lectures and multiple choice tests. There's Youtube, but little of even the best material there's good for actual learning versus the illusion of having learned, and some of the best of it's just recorded lectures (Strang, say) which are great and all, but... is that all we've got? All we've done with the capability we have now?

"VR's coming and that'll change everything", says someone, I'm sure. Nah, it'll be more of the same. Why would we use that to anything resembling its real potential when we haven't with gestures about this?

My "why didn't I think of this earlier" tip for the Moonlander is to associate the .bin files you download from configurator with the Wally app, so you can just download and launch flashing from your browser.

Also, pair that with sticking a "Reset" button on an out of the way layer so you can reset your KB without needing a paper clip or similar poking tool.

Could be something you can't do if you already use .bin files elsewhere in your system (embedded programming work perhaps), but if you can swing it, it was really convenient the first month or two I had my Moonlander. I often made two to three changes to my layout per day the first couple of weeks, then 2-3 changes per week the next month or two.

A year in now and my last tweak was 6 months ago.
The FED receive interest payments. They don't make them.

But yes, raising too much too fast will cause stress and defaults, and nobody wants that unless it's absolutely necessary.
I agree in that it’s not Purism’s fault.
On the other hand, I feel that people who are not from the US and believe a Librem 5 to be a sustainable investment should be made aware of this issue.

And it’s not worse for other modern phones. On the contrary: if I wanted my iPhone battery replaced, I’d have a choice between a nearby Apple Store and countless independent repair shops, all of whom would be able to source and replace the battery in no time.

But with the Librem, I’ll be out of luck. Nobody in Europe would be able and willing to source that battery for me if I needed one. Few potential buyers aren’t aware of that; Purism understandably doesn’t advertise it.

So here I am spreading the word.
Ah. I stand corrected.

At the same time, his programs do things like modify themselves. CPUs and operating systems haven't let you do stuff like that for a while now, at least not without disabling system protections.

Also, the underlying hardware he's describing isn't universal. Look at the assembly language for a vector machine (like a Cray). It's nothing like MIX.
The comparison we're making is whether precision attacks, presumably on roughly building-sized targets, would be cheaper to do from long range via ICBMs (with conventional warheads), or via much cheaper but shorter-range missiles. My guess is that neither ICBMs nor shorter-range missiles could have accomplished what the U.S. military accomplished in Iraq. Presumably missiles alone were responsible for a small portion of that $54 billion.

> Lowering interest rates makes capital cheaper, which does spur investment and thus economic development

There are diminishing marginal returns to this, and when rates were already close to zero it is hard to imagine going to zero spurred much more than meme stocks and YOLO gambles.
If you can tell me under what exact conditions it ends, then we can have a discussion about it. Until then, and in absence of incontrovertible proof that it saves a single life, I'm out.

At the time of the event, area was occupied by Germany, official name was Deutsches Reich/Drittes Reich. See any document from WWII. "Nazi Germany" name was invented in '80. Combatants of WWII never heard anyone calling Germans as Nazis. Countries were not invaded by people from Nazi country speaking Nazi language.
> When I read comments like this I always wonder who is out there creating stateful HTTP applications?

As a benefit of PHP this isn't a new thing, and usually what is meant isn't that people are deliberately creating stateful HTTP applications (thought they may be!).

What it normally refers to is the way that with PHP every request gets a totally new instance of the interpreter to run in, as it is basically started up from scratch to service that one request, does it's work, then disappears again. There is no possibility of bleed across requests or of accidental shared state.

Whereas with Node, Go, C# etc, there is (by default) a long-lived 'server' process that handles all incoming requests and so doesn't have that automatic request segregation but instead relies on code (framework and/or application).

To rephrase, with PHP there are multiple requests each of which get their own one-shot instance to run in (guaranteeing segregation). With most alternatives there is one server instance which handles multiple requests and something in the stack somewhere has to manage that segregation.

PHP maps many requests to many servers. Versus many requests to one server. But of course this is all very much a simplification.
Sure, but if the interest rate is lowered arbitrarily rather than based on some market function, don't unworthy businesses get loans? Seems like we sacrificed efficiency and price discovery to keep employment numbers high.
"The point is, absent that, there's no reason to accept or speak to that narrative, other than to mislead and disseminate disinformation for political gain."

I think this is our main issue - which interpretation of the narrative are we discussing. A lot of times each side takes the worst interpretation or intention of the other. In the HN charitable spirit, I interpret the Republican narrative as questioning if policies like doing away with pretextual stops or sanctuary cities contribute to increases in crime. Likewise I interpret this article as trying to support those policies by showing there's little difference between the states. The part I take issue with, is that just analyzing based on partisan status and not on policies missed the debate around policies and doesn't control for socioeconomic factors. If they had focused on those, then it could provide much stronger evidence that the policies in question aren't contributing.

Now maybe I have it all wrong and this article is simply bashing Republicans (some of the text suggests that)

"Either way, I think it's very reasonable to assume that the in states that voted for a particular President, the local regulations within that state are more likely to be in line with that President and their party than if they voted the other way."

Potentially. In my state the legislature frequently passes things that are vetoed by the governor. The majority of the population is also in cities aligned to the governor's party (eg policies that start in the cities are requested by and sometimes passed on their request). I'm sure it's different in other states too. One big factor too, is that there was a lot of hate for Trump that could have nudged some middle of the road states away from their typical voting or the governor party(NH, VT, RI etc) which would affect the averages by party.

But you are sort of right - local policy tends to be the ones discussed. So even in "red" states, some of the large cities could be implementing "blue" policies. Although the same can be true the other direction - not all cities in "blue" states are implementing the policies in question.
That’s fair, but we figured folks here could still picture what our platform would look like in their area and share any feedback/suggestions!

That being said, we’re hoping to expand our coverage soon, it’s just a matter of having the resources (or user generated content) to cover enough of the activity in any given place. We also figured some of you must be in nyc ;)
I always say "Just right is all wrong". The time and standardization cost is often just too much for the small gains. I'd much rather have everything be reusable, abstracted, and one size fits all, aside from the tiny fraction that matters enough to optimize.
an interesting thought given the politics of the day. If you are not actively engaged in weapon manufacturing are you not complicit in the murder of the Ukrainian people? If you are not actively helping to supply the Ukraine army with weapons for their defense then, by your inaction, are you enabling their death?
But a lot of HN readership are much closer to 15 than you (or I) and so the trivial->trivium comparison might hold?

The title of this article sucks. Real bad.
Any runtime that has the concept of "thread locals" or "thread safety" have this sharing problem, no need to exploit y anything. Of those you mention I've worked with Python and java and their runtimes do have this problem (or feature, depending how you look at it). In python for example if you import a module level variable or instance and you modify it's value on a request, you can read it from another request that lands on the same thread. Same with java. I don't know the others you mention but probably are the same as that's how most runtimes work.

You can't do that in PHP, you need to explicitly write to redis/memcached/file/database to be able to read values from another request.
I don't think Linux can do this... When hardware is powercycled, that would be a disconnect event followed by a connect event. There is no way to be sure it's the same drive connected, or that it will connect again at all. And on the disconnect event, all the datastructures associated with the device get discarded, so all file handles are invalid and nothings gonna work again...
Meanwhile the WebFlow Editor requires you to enable third party cookies.
My point is that you're over-simplifying. You've given two "simple" solutions neither of which are actually responses to the post you were replying to by vbezhenar:

1. "Hire/retain at market rate". Easy unless you don't know what the market rate is, which you don't, because - as you say - incomplete information is an inherent feature of any resource allocation system including markets. Which is probably why vbezhenar phrased their claim in relative terms instead of absolute terms, whilst caveating that this is true for an "ordinary company" but maybe not for Google or governments. Theirs is an inside-the-market view. You're arguing that all you have to do to solve this problem is somehow step outside the market, and just know what the final price actually is for any given person.

2. "Hire in a different market". But that isn't an answer to the OP's point, it's an agreement with it. He's explaining why ordinary companies will refuse to train people. You're claiming the "solution" is to get out of Dodge i.e. not train people. It's not a refutation.

There's no political axe grinding here. What's happening is not unique to SV tech firms. It's an inevitable consequence of CB monetary policy distorting classical market economics. The causes of the policy may ultimately be political, but the outcomes are inevitable.

Using build stages is usually the biggest contributor to reduction in image size.

Usually, images have steps to build (which requires source code, dependencies, etc), and the entry point at the end. Splitting the build- and run-time means you're shipping an image that only includes what's needed to run (not build) the application.

> Rates are at 0.25%. Last time it took 20.00% to stop inflation.

This is good context. Is anything different this time that would make one believe we won’t need much, much higher rates to tame inflation?

are you kidding now? that pilot does not even know how cameras work at all and your using him ???

this American pilot does not know how depth of field works... can't even notice in his own video recordings, this beyond funny. He thinks you can't have objects at different distances in focus at the same time ahahaha, does not get how parallax works... gave up after those dumb errors and smug attitude as he was saying such dumb things, i bet he made even more mistakes.

is he really a "fighter pilot" or they just not trained to understand their gear?

Probably half of that selling is due to Ukraine . Also, a few months of weakness does not change the long-standing trend of stocks being a good hedge against inflation. Stocks generated real returns in the 80s, 90s, 2003-2007, 2015-2017 despite the fed raising rates.
Do you create content, then? Articles, pictures, videos (especially well produced ones) of the various processes would be very interesting and could supplement your income pretty well (ads, sales/orders, patreon/sponsors, etc).

> btw. Luis Elizondo is has not been charge of any UFO stuff

I have no conviction on the UFO phenomenon other than it would be cool if aliens exist, and even cooler if they were already on Earth. Still, I can't get enough of it – I especially love thinking about the most epistemically offensive conspiracy theories, like "the moon is a spaceship" or "Antarctica is an alien base." I sometimes fall asleep to Ancient Aliens.

But, fact is, the only government agents with any "authority" in this "movement" – which became especially fervent around the dissolution of Q-Anon, btw – are people who worked for DIA in Information Operations. That is, their specialty is in manipulating the public, not alien technology.

The "Lue anon" moniker about sums it up. My theory is the recent reinvigoration of the UFO movement is an attempt by US intel agencies to pre-emptively herd the most impressionable people with their own controlled conspiracy, rather than allow a hostile actor to manipulate them during the next election.

Also, I predicted this 10 months ago, the last time "disclosure" was imminent, in a comment [0] that I think has aged well so far.

> It’s ok that they’re not mega stars. They’re doing just fine.

But are they really doing fine?

My "go to" example for this kind of thing was the lead singer from one of the metal groups based in Southern California. They had just done a West Coast tour and then did the festival circuit. The interviewer asked him when he was going to tour again. His response: "Well, I think we maybe came out about even from the touring. And now my tattoo business is now pretty much booked up for the next 12 months. So, probably not for at least a year. Maybe we'll probably play some local shows every now and then."

That doesn't sound like an industry doing "just fine" to me.

Not necessarily the point the article is making, but it remind me of a quote I once heard, which I liked and jotted down.

"There is often a mentality in the workplace that with sufficiently detailed protocols and procedures, the village idiot can perform theoretical physics just as well as Einstein.

In fact, no amount of procedure will make that happen; quite the contrary, all that procedure ensures is that if you ever do hire Einstein, their output will closely resemble that of the village idiot."

I hope you'll excuse some pushback from another layperson--isn't the situation with Aircraft Carriers categorically different? In the examples you provided above (Cavalry, Tanks, and Battleships), there has never been a push-button solution to eliminating every single unit in the service of the enemy. Given the technology mentioned by GP, the small number of Carriers in service and the utter impossibility of hiding them, it would appear that such a solution does exist for Carriers.

So while it seems to be true that Aircraft Carriers are not obsolete in peacetime or in a conflict with minor powers, aren't they obsolete in the context for which they were created--namely, war with another great power?

Seen the same and now I draw an arbitrary line - if they have less than 10, you're taking a chance - don't bet your project on it. If they have less than 5, you can almost guarantee they don't actually have it. If they have 10+, you can often find them, but they've not been unpacked or stocked on shelves yet. Usually an associate can locate them up high on the shelves and if you really need it and ask nice, they'll often get it down for you if they aren't otherwise busy*

I think this group is afraid of hyperinflation, which is almost always caused by governments printing too much money. (And, if we're honest, hyperinflation is a scary situation.) The problem is that they then extrapolate and decide that nominal inflation must be the result of the same problem and that all government action will lead to hyperinflation.

That is silly. With mere speculation of interest rate increase, housing sales have already started to slow down. With every 25 bps increase, real asset interest rates will go much higher, causing much more slowdown in sales, GDP and inflation.

If fed accelerates rate increases, we are very likely to see a recession. Which will automatically reduce demand for goods and services and thus inflation.

But reducing inflation by causing mass unemployment will lead to other problems.
