How did "printing lots of money" https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CURRCIR not spike USD to EUR? did EUR also print lots of money? https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/USDEUR=X/ basically unchanged 5 years ago -> now
I think people conflate what MMTers were saying post-2008, which was we had WAAAAAAAAAAAY more capacity to print money, especially from 2008-2014 or so, with we can spend literally infinite money. And so you get all of these people saying "MMT was wrong" with the pandemic inflation, when it's the exact opposite. We started running into real resource constraints (due to lockdowns, supply chain issues, etc) and inflation shot up exactly as expected. Now, even as an MMT fan, I'm perfectly willing to admit that predicting where the real constraint is is extremely hard. And that politically in the US raising taxes on a dime is basically impossible. But MMT wasn't wrong, for the parts that have been tested as much as they can be.
I can think of a few trillion in urgently needed money we could spend taxes on: renewable energy, batteries, retrofitting homes for chargers, resilience building (and paying people to move out of high risk areas), invest in carbon capture/moonshots.
One reason is the ukranian nazis, which are for you are "freedom fighters", but who just call (and not only call) for killing of russian people (it goes on for a very long time).Another reason is the persecution by ukranian nationalists of the Russian language, the Russian pravoslavic church, and just everything Russian, which goes on subtly enough to " not to be noticed" by the west. While russians are sure it is being tacitly encoraged by the west, just like the destruction of Serbian heritage of Kosovo by albanians. Yet another factor is that russians are sure that ukranians are just the avanguard of NATO forces which eventually aim to subjugate Russia. Finally, the defamation against everything Russian in the west reached such proportions (and it began long before the invasion), that it really reminds russians of the persecution of the jews in nazi Germany.

If you do this, the enemy's nuclear-weapons services will look in the playbook under "what to do if someone kills the government", see, "launch everything as a counterattack", and press the button.

A key advantage of a hypersonic weapon is the possibility of first-strikes to disable the enemy's retaliation systems before they have the ability to launch more-traditional retaliatory responses. Only submarines are likely to be mostly-immune to them.

This notion that surefire mark enforcement can only be achieved through blanket legal action against all potential abusers of the mark is parroted on HN repeatedly; however, the real world situation is a bit more complex. A firm will not lose their trademarks if they don't aggressively sue each and every person/business who might potentially be infringing upon the firm's marks. In fact, for firms like Red Hat who are actively selling a product, (and therefore utilizing the mark in commerce and in a way that makes that mark very well known to potential customers) said ongoing business operations typically ensure that courts will regard one's mark as defended and active, especially if one ensures that the firm does go after the most very egregious violations.

TL;DR: Firms do not need to obsessively litigate against every single person using their mark.

As analogy one could go for updating to bigger and better.

Like, when we were a small company we were delivering our stuff with metaphoric bicycles, because they are cheap and good for the environment.

Then we updated to motorbikes for faster delivery.

Now our customer base has grown, and we have a lot more stuff, so we are updating everything to trucks, and need time to dispose the bikes that we do not need anymore.

Then finally, we have become an international company and need to update to cargo planes.

And when they try to blame the engineers that it is their fault and they should have been using the biggest thing from the beginning, you can say: You do not buy a 747 to deliver stuff to you neighbor on the same street.

We currently have runaway inflation, if you look at how inflation was calculated in 1980s compared to now it would be between 12-16%.
The transition period is getting a bit long now and companies are still making billions on violating the GDPR.

interesting idea, expect vimeo would be paying for bandwidth as a flat rate per GB/sec not per GB transferred. So their costs vs what they are charging would be quite different, also if their bandwidth costs are roughly flat (not based on transfer) then culling/causing churn in the 1% reduces the utilisation of their fixed cost.. or maybe they are running a very high utilisation and culling the top 1% every month gives them more headroom =)
Have you peeled back the categories measured by the 8% inflation? This is stupid for me to say but, for example... Used car prices factor into that 8% number. But if you aren't shopping for a used car... it doesn't really affect you, right?

Housing affects mostly everybody. Same with energy. I don't truly understand the weighting or everything that goes into the 8% CPI getting tossed around and I understand that it comes out to "on average as a whole, you as a consumer are most likely seeing a roughly 8% increase in cost" but I wonder if it is worth calling out that "actual personally perceived inflation" might be less (or more) than 8%

My rent hasn't gone up, I haven't bought a different (new or used) car. Gas is more expensive surely but I think that's an extra $40/mo for me or so. I think Chipotle bowls cost about $3 more now... Not exactly life changing?

speaking of next.js, it's always fun to watch web tech come full circle back to "maybe we should render this stuff before we send the bits, since servers and CDNs are real real good at sending bits real real fast, instead of making everyone render the same static stuff a billion times per day client-side". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movable_Type was generating static blogs back in 2001, and that's still a great idea 20 years later. I'm glad that "modern" JS thinking has finally caught up :)

NFTs can be more than a receipt. It depends on the contract which is programmable and can store state.

For example, you can store game state on the chain and generate a svg based on that state which is returned to an external application if they fetch the nft.

> The Fed (not FED, BTW) doesn't "set" the rates, but has policies (including IORB, or what you call the federal reserve rate)

The Fed does explicitly set certain interest rates. IORB is an interest rate that gets paid out every single day to market participants. “Federal reserve rate” does not exist; what you’re probably referring to is the fed funds rate. The Fed sets a target range for this, and, if the effective fed funds rate does not stay within the target corridor, the Fed will conduct open market operations to push it there.

If an author can publish code with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, why can't people make requests with the same attitude? If the author is under no obligations at all, a request is no problem, right?

Well, the problem is that it's not so absolute. Publishing something normally invites feedback and it's awkward to completely ignore it. Just like it's awkward when you report a bug and get silence.

I'm not suggesting a real obligation, but there is... something? If there wasn't, then these requests would be treated like random mail to a famous person and just discarded.
Oh, wrapper overhead of Python is certainly annoying.

There's a couple things that ameliorate that. For one, in many situations, it's possible to "trace" out the Python operations. The second is that, as in my blog post, you can "hide" the Python overhead by simply running asynchronously with the GPU.

But yeah, the Python overhead is annoying (see https://dev-discuss.pytorch.org/t/where-we-are-headed-and-wh...), just giving an explanation why it hasn't been a dealbreaker.
No, `globalThis` is available in workers. It points to `self`. On the page, `globalThis` points to `window`. `globalThis` thus becomes the one, safe, global reference you can make for code that runs in both pages and workers.
I'm skeptical but willing to believe 56% of people can't find $1k on the spot in fiat cash because of the structure of their wealth. However statistically _most_ households have a hundred times over that in net wealth. Carefully reading the study, it becomes apparent the vast majority are able to alter the composition of their wealth or future spending to accommodate the expense. 59% were going to pay outright (if you add in the 15% that said they would pay and cut their budget), and if you add in people like me that would let it sit on credit to let some real value inflate away, it goes up to 79% who would pay it outright either by debiting from their fiat stockpiles or credit card. Only 4% actually needed to take out a personal loan, and only 10% would resort to family. Factor in that probably 14% of adults are 25 or younger or in school, and it starts to become apparent that the overwhelming majority of adults can afford a $1k expense.

The problem with OOP is that there is not a single definition.

There are a bunch of people claiming this and that are OOP.
To me OOP is encapsulating a mutable state inside a dynamic namespace (an object, an instance of class), with functions that can access the state and the ability to inherit / extend namespaces.

And I absolutely don't need it, I don't agree with the view some things are better done with OOP. Even gaming or GUI programming, domains typically considered to be the best for OOP, turned to ECS (which is very functional) and Elm style APIs.

Going back at OOP:
I consider mutable state to be a necessary evil to be limited as much as possible; inheritance makes it hard to track what code is being run.

The best practice for writing OOP revolves around limiting mutable state and inheritance, so why even bother with OOP in the first place?

I can have encapsulation with namespaces / modules in functional languages as well. I don't need much else and I can live happily without `this` and using composition instead of inheritance.

OOP was the first marketing wave focused at developers and it's gone.
Nice!

My close family circle is against the vaccine mandates now, as am I. Although we all supported them initially. So it is hard for me to gauge the general opinion on the mandates. I suspect support is waning fast with high vax rates and the reduced threat of COVID.

I don’t think mask mandates punish in the same way as a vaccine mandate. You can change your mind and wear a mask instantly. A vaccine takes time and has greater consequences. Mask wearing is also an altruistic act; you put yourself through mild discomfort mostly to benefit those around you. It’s polite because it makes others feel more comfortable. A vaccine, especially when it comes to Omicron, protects you without really effecting risk of infection. So it’s more of a personal choice. Except at the population level where collective vaccine uptake have helped protect hospitals.

More or less the right idea. There are actually two fields at play here. The electromagnetic field and the electron field. The electron field gets quantised into electrons and the electromagnetic field quantised to photons. The electron field and the electromagnetic field are fundamentally separate fields, but they do interact. Any particle field with a charge can interact with the electromagnetic field. It's the charge that the electron field carries that "leaves a wake" in the electromagnetic field. In this sense photons are no more partial electrons than they are partial protons.

In an atom, the electron state energy comes from the electric potential energy due to the electron's charge sitting in the electric field produced by the nucleus. The further out the charge is, the higher the potential energy (and hence the lower the binding energy). This is distinct from the electron amplitude. The electron amplitude is essentially how much electron is present at a point, and lowering it violates conservation laws (lepton number, mass, charge).

There's still a lot of debate if raising interest rates is what actually caused inflation to fall.

Another theory is that it was actually Regulation Q.

I also personally think that high inflation is treated as bad axiomatically. This needs some justification if the only proposed solution is to intentionally cause a recession.
