You're ignoring the knock-on effects on the bond market for each rate increase.

Last year, if you bought 10-year bonds, they'd be something like 2% interest rate. Today, its 2.38%. This means that all 10-year bonds bought in 2021 (aka: today a 9-year bond) is 2%, or roughly $11,800 value remaining.

But a 10-year bond in 2022 is 2.38%, or roughly $12,380.

Relative to the 2021 bonds, you just "dropped the value" of 2021 bonds by $500-per-$10k or so. Literally, in the space of a few weeks, everyone who had 10-year-bonds from 2021 just __LOST__ money on the interest rate hike.

-------

Since banks and other large investors all own substantial amounts of bonds, the short-term effects of interest-rate changes on the _VALUE_ of bonds (ie: the 2021 issues) is arguably more important than the coupon itself.

If we're looking at +1% increase this year (to a 10Y rate of 3%), then a 10-year $10k bond 10Y @ 3% will have a Yield-to-Maturity value of $13000, meaning that the 2021-issues are worth something like 12% LESS.

EDIT: That's just the federal bond market. When you consider that car-loans, credit-cards, and Mortgages and HELOCs are also going to change in reaction to this (since these are higher-risk, a +1% chance to the "risk-free" federal rate probably will be a +1.5% to the other rates), the value of mortgages, credit card debt, car loans (etc. etc.) will similarly drop by 10%+.

Also consider what it will do to home prices. +1% interest rate to any mortgage will cause the monthly payments to skyrocket by hundreds of dollars, which will force home-prices down.
> Through their work, they’ve set standards for select honeys like the country’s famous Chestnut honey—a rare, bittersweet and intensely aromatic honey made by bees that harvest nectar of the flower of the chestnut tree

Er, I'm by no means an expert (though I do eat a lot of honey), but this sounds suspiciously like honeydew honey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Honeydew_honey), which is actually made not from nectar, but from (to quote the Wikipedia article) "honeydew, the sweet secretions of aphids or other plant-sap-sucking insects", and is indeed "bittersweet and intensely aromatic", but not all that rare...
Windows has a single official UI and a low level handling of a key press to bring up an element that must ideally remain responsive.

Linux has many and a set of low level responses to keybondings that must remain responsive that don't have a UI nor ability to kill individual applications.

To be fair in current systems Linux UIs normally remain responsive until memory exhaustion which is handled very badly. You will probably reboot before the oom killer assassinates the offender. The fix is a user space daemon like earlyoom which activates at a configurable level and targeting rather than absolute exhaustion when even killing the offender is challenging and usage has been hard for tens of minutes.

You or your environment can also set your UI process to a higher priority as far as processing and io.

If your UI doesn't remain responsive it's because your distro isn't using existing tools to achieve this.
Correctly implemented QKD gives you key distribution without assumptions about how difficult certain mathematical problems are in relation to how much compute your adversary has. Key distribution is nowadays done with assymetric cryptography, so QKD can replace some assymmetric cryptography. You can also have authentication (Wegman-Carter) with symmetric keys. What's not quite clear is how you would do certificates and PKI. However, given key distribution, you could probably use symmetric keys for that as well.

It's unlikely that your adversaries can decrypt your traffic right now (break things like RSA). However, advances in number theory and/or computing power might enable them to do that in the future. Your adversary can just record your encrypted traffic and wait until the means to decrypt it become available. Thus, for data that has to stay secure for a long time (and where you want to be as sure as possible that it will) it's not good to rely on predictions into the future about advances in number theory or computing. This is the niche that QKD is aiming at.

For what it's worth, China has a huge QKD network, which cost them a lot of money. Their QKD satellite also cost a lot of money. They are in fact world leaders in quantum communication technology as well and spend a lot on researching it. I wonder why they made this investment, whether it was smart, and what they get out of it.

I also have doubts that QKD will see much use in the coming decades and even more doubts that its use will be done properly and actually make a lot of systems more secure. Securing systems is very hard and securing individual communication links (what QKD does) is not the main problem. In the current landscape, securing your data and communications to a reasonable level just isn't worth it for the vast majority of buisnesses, since they can offload most of the damages of being breached to their customers. There is a danger that QKD will be seen as "magic fairy dust" that you sprinkle over your systems just to claim you're trying very hard to secure them (this image is still widespread about standard cryptography as well).

The problem is the line of credit may be inaccessible when you need it most.
First, because Russia certainly has the potential to be winning. Russia could still wind up with air superiority unless Ukraine is very, very careful. Something could happen to motivate the Russian troops. Putin could decide to start using tactical nukes. So it seems really unwise to assume that things are going to keep going as well as they have. There's a fear that the other shoe could drop and it all turns into a disaster.

Also, Ukraine is "winning" by not having been totally overrun. They may not be winning in terms of total casualty counts. (They probably are winning in terms of total armor destroyed.) They are currently losing in terms of territory taken - not nearly as badly as we feared they would be, but they are in fact losing. (The fact that they're only losing a little bit counts as a major win against the expected outcome, though.)

So all in all, it's fine to say "things are on an optimistic trajectory" or some such. "Winning" seems a bit too strong, though.

Prices are too high and there are too few foreclosures. Pros with a bunch of money in the bank and inside info can still do it, but the days of being able to snag a foreclosure that's scaring everyone off because it needs some drywall work and paint and maybe a little flooring but is basically fine, and is sitting on a totally ordinary public real estate listing for weeks or months so you know you can lowball and they'll probably accept, are long gone. That situation only lasted (around here, anyway) until maybe 2012 or 2013.
I have a Steam Index and I think the games are fun and re-playable. The problem for me was -

I live in too small a space, and this requires a dedicated game room or having to re-arrange furniture, set up the external sensors (not true for Oculus but true for this), and then recalibrating. That, plus the heavy headset and massive cables.

The controllers are amazing through, they track all your fingers without being attached to your fingers.

It has a future, it's still a little rough around the edges. However, apartment dwellers might be limited in their interest.
I'm just a hobby game dev but I'm super glad I chose to stick with Godot. It has always felt very intuitive and the alpha for version 4 is looking super great too. I don't know if Unity cares about 2d games but to me it seems like Godot is a way better free choice for 2d and unreal is a way better choice for 3d
It is! It can be overkill for very simple React apps, but I used it to build a power-user tool a couple years ago that would have been impossible to do with Redux or hooks.
ah so you're very in the weeds.

I considered getting rid of nginx and writing the proxy layer myself but found nginx to be good enough for my needs so I avoided it. I might have been better served by HAProxy, which to my understanding has better semantics around connection draining, which nginx reserves for the pro edition.

My project didn't have auth, all clients used websockets, and all clients could retry. Haven't messed with systemd sockets myself. Using unix domain sockets and the filesystem to do dynamic sockets worked pretty well for me.

> Once a new service has started, we can signal the old service to shutdown for however long it needs by no longer listening on the socket and letting connections drain naturally. We're thinking about changing to dynamically allocated ports/sockets which is pretty natural in the container orchestration world.

this sounds pretty reasonable to me, what sort of problems are you having that make you want to change?
>Someone should try an open-source license where any company with more than, say, 500 employees need to pay a small tribute, for example a fixed $1000 / year. Small enough of an amount that any large org could pay for it, and large enough that if you have 10+ large companies you'll get good money from your open-source project.

There are projects out there like this; I would say Unreal Engine is one. However, I wouldn't consider this open source (it's source-available).

That said, it's way more likely that someone working at that big company, if the need was strong enough, would just write their own and open source it (and everyone would use that project), or just buy a vendored solution (and in that case, if that company is you, you are now running a company and you also have to provide support; which is no different from how things exist today).
Just a little humour - I saw a sign in small Jerusalem shop today that said "End of the World Sale" - I guess some small people are also trying to cash in/out.

> I gave myself permission to ... set clear boundaries.

My biggest career regret is that I fell into the trap of not setting boundaries for fifteen years. What is clear to many people now was not to me then. Even now, I'm learning the basics like that there are different types of boundaries and in business which ones are most important to set and what happens if they aren't set.

Time-boundaries, for example, are commonly discussed, but equally important are socio-emotional boundaries. Have you ever stopped to realize that you talk to a lot of people daily, but lack emotional support or the deeper connections that come from being emotionally vulnerable? I have. It's easy to surround oneself with work friendships that only ever touch on surface-level topics. Having a clear emotional boundary helps create space for emotionally meaningful connections outside of work. That's a lesson I wish I didn't have to learn the hard way.

Not all about money, but they now have a couple questionable endeavors like Filecoin and NFT.storage. It seems they are more interested in making money than improving their project, and IPFS has many outstanding issues and limitations.

I don't know what the cause is (the iPhone camera or the display methodology), but whenever I watch an HDR video shot on my iPhone on the MacBook Pro XDR display it looks really unnatural and bad. HDR demo YouTube videos in full screen look fine, so maybe it's the iPhone, or it's the integration with the SDR UI, not sure.
Fight. Make the bastards pay. If you're not working with a lawyer find and accident and injury lawyer with a track record of success in your area. Most of them work on contingency, so they don't get paid if you don't win.

The fact that the waste company has offered a settlement means they know they would lose in court.

Except that many Android phones come with a bunch of apps you can't remove, including things like Facebook and whatnot. Probably differs per brand, but when I test-drove a Motorola last month there were a whole bunch of apps like that.

I guess you could just ignore it, but these kind of unremovable apps just makes me unreasonably angry: it's my goddamn fucking phone and I – and only I – gets to decide which fucking apps are on it!
I had a similar problem with my ISP gateway giving spurious readings on a traceroute, to prevent other techs from getting distracted by it I started using `mtr --first-ttl=3 ...` to ignore the first two hops.
Maybe I'm being too literal, but if they say they are profitable despite the current losses, then why say they don't have the resources? Clearly they do, in fact since they are profitable they have more than enough resources, by definition. I suppose what they mean to say is "we choose not to devote resources to an unprofitable division".
Some dumbphones can actually use signal. I am not sure about Spotify, but some could probably use it as well.

That said (and this goes counter to my previous comment) I think HELOCs are probably the safest credit source, purely because if the banks started calling them there would be an economic meltdown. Obviously if you’re going to overleverage yourself, a HELOC makes the most sense because of low rates, so I’d assume anyone who is overleveraged is doing it through a HELOC.

However, if you can get a HELOC, you own property and are therefore much better off and less precarious than people who don’t. Ceteris paribus, I’d rather lose my shirt in a house I own rather than a rental.
This is technically correct, but a lot of applications that use blockchain store the proofs on multiple chains, which in your example is equivalent in hashpower to one big chain. Also you are describing PoW and lots of chains are not PoW now.

This doesn't change the situation. Shortly after removing the barrier, some molecules will start moving into the other half. Just reverse all velocities and see all the molecules move back into the half they started in. If you go further forward in time, you will eventually see the first collision. But that doesn't really change the situation, reverse the velocities, see the molecules collide in reverse and then move back into their starting halfs.

And this never really changes, particles move and collide and this can be reversed, you just have to do this for very, very many particles and collisions. And this is probably chaotic, the tiniest error in any of the positions or velocities will get massively amplified and give you the wrong initial state. But in principle it could be done. And it has to be done on the microscopic level, macroscopic things like concentrations, temperatures, or pressures by definition do not reflect the microscopic states.
I think it has a chance, but it's definitely on life support. All the big names from this latest attempt (Valve, HTC, Sony) have already given up on it. Facebook is trying to turn it into a thing, but I think they're just trying one last gasp on a failed acquisition before firing that team. Sony and Apple claim to have new hardware coming down the pipe, but I imagine they're feeling much less enthusiastic about it now than when they started those projects. Maybe one of those three will pull it off, but it's not looking good.
Ask HN: How do I convince developers/companies to use TypeScript?
I've been using TypeScript for a few years. Every team I used TypeScript with, it massively improved productivity for everyone, for reasons that are well known.

But in other companies and teams I've been at, most of the developers have some prejudice around TypeScript and think it's annoying extra fluff that takes time, or that it's worthless because it doesn't do any dynamic type checking. They often don't want to try using it

What are some good ways you've managed to evangelise TypeScript? Any good resources/talks or study cases that can help people get over it?
The news media is addicted to economic doom stories IMHO. They generate a lot of viewer interest even when most people are barely affected. Even when times are good there are always stories about how it's all illusory and in fact we're all moments away from disaster.
Can I ask what provider you went with? Do they support tags in a similar way to Gmail?
> interesting characters

I played ADVENT for many hours, back in the day (on the boss's time). The only characters I remember are a dwarf, a pirate, a dragon, a bird, a giant, and a giant clam. OK, I suppose the bear and the troll might count as characters.

None of these count as "interesting characters" - a chap that always says "Fee Fi Fo Foo" isn't particularly interesting, and none of the others has any dialogue.
Not necessarily true - I can see some combo of a Zeppelin and a helicopter or prop powered plane like thing being workable. It may not be as fast as planes we have today but it would likely also have a huge efficiency advantage.
Supposedly they chose to publish Half-Life because they regretted turning down the chance to buy id, and thought Valve seemed like a good company. So I think they deserve some credit for recognizing talent.
Profit. They need to recoup Covid losses with higher prices and smaller staff.
NATO to Beef Up Eastern Flank with Four More Battle Groups – Stoltenberg
If this is real, this is horrible news. No thanks, I don't want my package manager on the blockchain.
I'm curious what the source of the burn is.

We recently got bit (not quite burned) with the load balancers in the Common Runtime being shared across all apps.

Some piece of malware was associated with one of the IPs of Heroku's load balancers. One of our customers ended up blocking one of our servers associated to that IP because of it. We did some research and we even think we know what app caused it (it's someone's app they host on Heroku), and we don't think it should be flagged as malware, but either way... some other app in Heroku could be truly doing bad things and we would then get our server blocked again.

Heroku's advice was to put up a CDN in front of their load balancers, which has worked for now. But that's extra cost and system complexity just to get around a limitation of Heroku.

We did confirm a Heroku Private Space would eliminate this, since we'd get our own set of IPs for the Private Space's load balancers. But that comes with extra cost, and perhaps even limiting which add-ons we can use in the Private Space.

So although we've generally been happy with Heroku, we are concerned with some technical limitations, like this important (to us) one.

Yep, webdesign peaked around that 2008. Since then, it's all downhill. I blame Apple for inventing smarphones with a capable web browser included, for causing this.
You are throwing the mode of government and the outcomes of government on one big pile, but I don’t think you can. Even under a dictatorship people can reasonably expect access to basic human rights. Putin seems to be depriving his people of even that.

There are basic rules of human decency which we as a species have agreed to in the form of human rights, people may choose an alternate mode of government to democracy (and this is always a choice on some level, no dictatorship can rule an entirely unwilling populace), but nothing they choose can morally deny them their human rights.
