The current Fed chair has basically the same idea on economics as Yellen. Likely not much would have changed if she'd stayed in office.
It's not as dramatic as that looks. They changed the definition of M1.

From the same link:

Before May 2020, M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (3) other checkable deposits (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal, or NOW, and automatic transfer service, or ATS, accounts at depository institutions, share draft accounts at credit unions, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.

Beginning May 2020, M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (3) other liquid deposits, consisting of OCDs and savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts). Seasonally adjusted M1 is constructed by summing currency, demand deposits, and OCDs (before May 2020) or other liquid deposits (beginning May 2020), each seasonally adjusted separately.
One of the most annoying thing about engineering (and smart people in general) is how they think because they are good in X field, that somehow translates into Y field with little training.
There is a reason FLOSS exists as a term to differentiate itself from OSS and I think the ideological differences between the two are important. So does Bruce Perens, the co-founder of OSI and the author of the Debian Social Contract of which the OSI definition was based off: https://web.archive.org/web/20140716055445/https://lists.deb...

This was back in 1999 - it's been over 20 years and "OSS" has only been muddied further and further to mean "source available" since.

Pedantry aside tremon's response sums it up well: "Feature branch hosted in a separate repository."
No, initial devaluation of your time might make sense, as noted.

But my larger point is that $50/hr is more than many people need. And not enough for others. This is important to decide before you start depending on the income.
Your statement sounds like non-sequitur to me. It has been long established that deliberate attack on civilian non-combatants is a war crime.
The maintainer still has to deal with the negative interaction even if in some cosmic sense the contributor could have known better. A workflow design which ensures that such negative interactions take place is structurally flawed.
You're correct, but I think the problem is that a lot of people who advocate for MMT, don't actually understand it, because many of the pro-MMT people I've talked to really do think you can print money forever.

It's not unique to MMT, the same thing happens with plenty of other subjects too.

>That's $100K/yr, well above the median.

The median is gross personal income. It doesn't include insurance plans, unemployment insurance, taxes, or any other costs of doing business beyond materials. I haven't done the self-employed thing like others on HN, so I'll leave it to them to say if $100k/year is enough to earn the equivalent of a median salary. But anyone who aims to rake in that median is in for a rude surprise.

Edit: I'm not saying you'll be paying all those costs yourself. You don't have to budget for HR training on not stealing from your own supply cabinet. My point is that companies pay a lot more per employee than just salary.

Both Kata Containers and UTM support virtio-fs, so this is not strictly true. The former can be used as a stand-in replacement for the runtime used by docker desktop[1]. With the latter, one could use a UTM-backed guest as a docker runtime in macOS[2] or run docker directly on the guest[3].

Yes you're right, I meant the blitz, and regular bombing did indeed come first. It's been quite a while since I learned about ww2 history!
Socialism has never been tried. State capitalism has been tried, that's what China has and what the Soviet Union had.

Socialism cannot be allowed to happen because it is too much of a threat to the powers that be.

The day Socialism is actually tried by any country, the surrounding countries will wage economic and physical war against it.

Propaganda to conflate state capitalism with socialism has been extremely successful.

An important point to keep in mind when talking about MMT in a policy setting is that the people who will implement it don't care about theory and will make a series of short-term politically expedient and/or vaguely corrupt decisions. If they implement MMT, there are good odds that it will just look like money printing.

It doesn't really matter what the academic plan is, the policy isn't going to follow it. Much like how interest rates were supposed to rise after being dropped to emergency levels a decade or so ago and instead a 25 bps rise is front page news.

All the politicians/relevant voters are looking for is a green light to hand out money and some buzz to say that it'll make everyone better so ignore the doubters. If they cared about good economic policy the last few decades would look very different. The dominant ideology is that centrally planned interest rates are a good idea, and that is questionable.
The system will seize up and collapse with anything close 20% interest rates. Look at what happened in September 2019. The rates shot back to 0 because there was a liquidity problem in the repo market. The system is rife with zombie companies servicing their debt with nearly free debt. This will not go like the 70s. When rates stop increasing and go back to zero within the next two years remember this comment
I think using the phrase "out of touch" is pretty telling here. Out of touch with what? The general cultural consensus? If you read this essay, the entire point is it's better to be out of touch, and if you're too in touch, you probably aren't actually thinking for yourself.

This certainly looks nice. But the courses I teach require students to use VS Code with Python and Java, which means I have to use it, too. It doesn't work well with PyTest and while it's pretty good with JUnit, dealing with external libraries like JavaFX completely flummoxed a lot of the students. Sometimes good enough is good enough.
What do you think is going to happen to your home price is interest rates go up to 5% and then people can’t afford huge mortgages anymore?
Interestingly, the mechanics of this seem backward. A major problem with the Fed's operations is that operations on financial markets take 12-18 months to spread to the real economy, so they have to target interest rates now based on what they think the economy is going to look like in 12-18 months. Conversely, money going into or out of the average person's checking account now affects what they do in the real economy now, without a lag time. When we've recovered from significant economic crises (2008 and 2020), it's often been through direct fiscal stimulus.

It seems that the logical thing to do would be to put money into the economy through directly giving it to citizens, and then take money out of the economy through interest rates, by making it more expensive to borrow and reducing business investment. Typically you want to put money into the economy in a hurry, in response to a crisis, but you want to take it out gradually, so that businesses can plan ahead. MMT's framing of this still seems backwards, even if they've realized that fiscal and monetary policy are two sides of the same coin. You'd also get a lot less political resistance to the fiscal policy side if it involved giving people money rather taking money away from them.

It's very easy to run your own WireGuard, and if that's all you want, by all means, do that. A lot of work went into making WireGuard the easiest-to-configure VPN --- it's deceptively sophisticated (the best kind of sophisticated).

Tailscale is also deceptively powerful, and that's why people love it. In particular: getting WireGuard deployed across a whole team with a single source of authentication truth and role-based default-deny ACLs is not, in fact, very easy to do. The massively more common pattern in tech companies with access VPNs is something like OpenVPN, with separately-managed credential stores (that get desynced and lock people out --- or accidentally retain access for separated team members) and default-allow network policy that gives anyone with access to the VPN direct access to Redis, databases, staging instances, and stuff like that.

I don't just like Tailscale. I fucking hate Tailscale for how simple they've made one of the larger problems in corpsec. It's maddening.
I know it's not what you asked for, but I used to use the one is VS Code exclusively. Now I use Sublime Merge 90% of the time and it's been a huge benefit to my workflow. I didn't expect it to win me over, but I instinctively reach for it now.
This is very much a solved problem, for several decades now. US and Russian naval submarines routinely patrol for thousands of miles over weeks or months, without surfacing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_navigation

It's not mentioned in the article, but I believe US subs also have a long-tether communications buoy that can float to the surface, but not expose itself vertically, to communicate with satellites. I would be surprised if it did not also have a GPS antenna.
Russia never really achieved much of anything beyond 3rd world productivity.

It's GDP is about 1/10th that of the USA. It's main exports are natural resources (oil, metals), vodka, weapons and crime --- lots of crime all over the world.

I can't think of anything I own that was manufactured in Russia. China is a completely different story.

Higher interest payments just means the Gov borrows more. I don't think the Fed is concerned about the ability to issue new debt.
You are multiplying the hourly rate as if it were a fixed salary, while also forgetting about taxes etc. I don't know a single craftsman that works 8-9 hours a day, 5-6 days a week on "chargeable hours" - most craftsman can realistically work perhaps half that on full-concentration crafts, not only because of the attention and detail required, but also because there are so many other things to do in a single day for a solo craftsman in todays craft market - customer enquiries, marketing, shipping, etc. 100 years ago the Japanese swordsman was not inundated with much other than making swords. Today it's much different.
A reflex nobody could fault you for having, to be sure.

The legal and theoretical framework already exists somewhat for artificial entities in the form of corporate law and corporate personhood.
Quite the contrary. Japan's money supply has grown considerably more slowly than other countries - reinforcing the relationship between money supply, economic growth, and inflation.

> 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?

Sure, because those people can't actually spend the money they were given. But who would agree to be sent to said island? The incentive of getting paid is worthless if you can't spend your money on anything. If the government printed money to pay people to build wind farms with the restriction that they can't spend this money on anything, how many workers would accept this offer?
"information is never sold, disclosed, or even seen by the big telecom carriers"

That claim smells... unless they're deploying their own personal network throughout the US (highly unlikely) that means they're an MVNO of someone else (suspiciously missing from the announcement whose network they'd be using), which by design implies the information is totally seen by big telecom carriers.

Sure, you can VPN the network traffic, but the actual information such as location (tower triangulated), IMEI / other personal identifiers are totally tracked by the network operator.

Slowing down GDP growth or the stock market would have been political suicide. It would probably have been a good thing in the long-term but long-term planning is not feasible anymore in the current climate. Sadly it's a winning strategy to inflate bubbles.
They are saying they will raise it several more times this year.

Inflation isn't the worst economic problem you can have, unemployment and deflation are. And raising interest rates risks raising unemployment, and even causing a recession if you're too aggressive.

The inflation could still be a temporary effect of the COVID years, so if you overdo it, you'll risk dampening economic activity too much when it was going to go down after a year anyways.

May I offer one proposition? Sanity and insanity (as with morality) are meaningless propositions outside of social interaction. So there is no sanity or insanity in the nature of the universe except in this regard. It is merely the evolution-bequeathed state of human consciousness as a survival machine.
It is and that's great, but changing the license never goes over well, especially for developers in a large company. I would have loved to just pay for DD, but it's really hard to answer the question "this has been free for years, why should we pay for it now?". The bait-and-switch also feels pretty insidious to a lot of developers, please refer to when Oracle did the same thing with their JVM implementation.

I've also found that a lot of large enterprises have had big difficulties on hammering out licensing terms with Docker. When it's a product you actively use, that means the devs will either wait for shit to hit the fan or start looking at alternatives, and find that there are still free competitors (Rancher Desktop, Podman, Minikube depending on your use-case).

IMO, it would have been a whole lot better if the Desktop product had been paid to begin with, rather than being suddenly switched as a last minute monetization strategy.
Surprised by all the negativity and dismissiveness in the comments.

even if you add the subsequent increases, they add up to 1.5%. That won't do anything to an inflation of 8% raging right now.
> 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.

It might be worth doing that, but note that there is still no guarantee of any reasonable upper bound on the vertical dimensions text will render within. Zalgo text is a famous example that very clearly illustrates this state of affairs [0]. The fact is that no current web design can guarantee that no text glyphs will overlap, short of using some non-standard font that prevents it, or perhaps by greatly restricting the usable Unicode characters.

Gold would have been so outlandishly valued if we stuck with that. What is your solution to gold being worth astronomically more as currency backer vs it's day to use by people and industry? Just accept that you can't ever use gold again for manufacturing and let momma's wedding ring increase in value to ridiculous amounts?

I'll agree we probably need at least a 0.5 increase in interest and that's on hte low side. I see so many new land grabs around town and too many new businesses popping up because it's pretty easy to get a loan right now.

We must be talking past each other, and maybe we don't disagree all that much. I'm not talking about generics in this form, and I think the Go team did a good job in their approach and implementation. However, you can read in this thread many people that are demanding more, specifically with the generics implementation. It's not good enough because you can't create monads, do purely functional programming, etc.

I'm hopeful that this implementation is hitting the sweat spot, and that the Go team won't chase the demands to make Go like many of the other languages. I think the biggest win for Go is not having class based inheritance. Fortunately, I haven't seen anyone demanding that.
No, it's not timeless. Only the fact that it was updated to MMIX [1] proves that it's not.

And the fact that it's fictional it doesn't mean it won't age. Because he didn't pull the language out of thin air and he wasn't working in a vacuum, he was inspired by the trend at the time of its invention [2]. I bet if it was written today, it would look quite different, as proof of his language update for the recent editions [3]. So, it's anything but timeless, as said by even the author.

> won't age because it never existed to begin with.

This is all great stuff, and reasons to respect Tailscale, but honestly the killer feature for their big-money customers, and the reason I have such strong feelings about it, is much simpler: Tailscale does SSO login, and does it extremely well. If you're running a security practice for a growing tech company, one of the most important early jobs you have is getting all your services migrated to SSO. VPNs are notoriously annoying to SSO (I have seen some janky Okta integrations for OpenVPN).
Wrong. You have to start somewhere and usually that will mean months or likely years working as a hobby or making next to nothing. You can't just setup shop and expect people to pay $50 an hour - bringing up the plumber as an example again: could a completely untrained plumber turn up at your doorstep and request $50/hr to do plumbing? You'd laugh. They work for peanuts for 4 years while doing a night class a week until they are qualified.

Not even the MMT people understand MMT. The lack of formal models means everyone is working with wildly different and often contradictory definitions
I would encourage readers to also review this [1] document which compares and contrasts MMT and other economic theories. The author concluded that "MMT contains some kernels of truth, but its most novel policy prescriptions do not follow cogently from its premises. "

> but so do global supply chain breakdowns

i would believe supply chain issues were major contributors to inflation if wages were not rising. It seems to me a supply chain problem causes price to go up but wages would not. The price increase by the retailer is there to pay for their price increase to the wholesaler, not to increase employee wages.
