I am pretty sure land use for all those tracks, elevated rail beds, tunnels and bridges, stations is FAR higher than what the planes use.

Single plastic usage is such a red herring...every time you load up your car with gas, you put in 15 gallons, that is ~50 kilograms. A plastic straw is 0.4 grams, 125,000 plastic straws to amount to the same hydrocarbon footprint. This is a very rough math, but you get the idea. You can compensate for all your life consumption of straws and forks by not filling up once. Plates are heavier, but still marginal compared to everything else.

Another one: plastic grocery bags are 5 grams, that means one tank of gas is like 12000 grocery bags.

You could say: but at least use less single use plastic! Have you considered the alternatives? Would stainless plates weigh much more on a plane, and induce a higher CO2? Would food non-wrapped in plastic spoil more? (We throw away about 50% of all fruits and vegetables anyway).

GHG is a tough problem. Focusing on some token issues like plastic straws and plane travel for ordinary people does not solve it, it only makes it harder for people to accept it.

> dollar relative to a foreign currency is very different metric than value of a dollar relative to a real asset

Agreed. Which is why we have different words for each.

Saying “USD is down” unambiguously means the former. Inflation unambiguously means the latter. Saying inflation is up in response to an article about inflation being up is tautological. So, in the spirit of Hacker News, I assumed they weren’t being flippant but were instead factually wrong.
I don't agree at all. They're very orthogonal concepts, and DDD has very little to do with OO. For an example, see Domain Modeling Made Functional.

Yes, if you do DDD in Java, you should probably follow OO principles. If you end up with a lot of classes "that do nothing", you've probably done something wrong along the way or you've applied it to something very simple where it didn't make sense to do so.
I wonder if it's HTTP because of certificate validity problems, wasn't there a case where a Mac couldn't boot to "Online Recovery" mode when the date on the machine is wrong (and therefore it treated the server's certificate as invalid)?

The idea that power was only used exploitatively after financialization of industry seems incredibly naive to me, or just an extreme warping of history and reality to fit a rose-tinted, romantic worldview.

Letting that level of power and resources consolidate to a few people at the top and crossing your fingers that they'll be "benevolent" is foolish. Historically speaking the % of times these rulers would graciously cover a health crisis out of pocket, or meaningfully donate to democratically chosen local causes was slim to none. Better to distribute the fruits more equally in the first place, but I'm guessing these kind and benevolent leaders would not have happily allowed their workforces to unionize. That expectation of trust only seems to go one way.

The oil companies have been a bit slow to increase production on some of their existing, approved, active leases because why should they? They are making incredible profits right now and are buying back billions of their own stock.

Seems to me if they wanted to increase production a lot they would decrease the stock buy backs and instead increase future revenue by increasing current and near future production.
> Many on this forum have equity holdings and/or in-demand jobs. Those make one somewhat inflation tolerant.

Yeah I’m genuinely shocked that people seem so upset about inflation. Then again I couldn’t tell you if the gas price down the road begins with a 3, a 4, or a 5.
This inflation report directly contradicts your statement. It's clearly down quite a bit in purchasing power of assets, goods, and services.

I've found they usually assume I'm secretly on the other side.

Someone (that is generally thoughtful and level-headed) once implied I was racist because I agreed with a conservative.

The conservative had claimed, and I agreed, that, on average, people of African descent have quantifiably darker skin than those with Northern European ancestry.

Edit: The context was a paper on Vitamin D deficiency arguing that funding for increasing Vitamin D supplementation should be aimed at African American communities, since Vitamin D deficiency is more common in darker-skinned communities.

According to the paper, darker skin means less sunlight gets through, which means less Vitamin D production per unit of sun exposure. This matches common sense, and also their epidemiological data.
If you were to type

W111AA

One letter at a time, auto-inserting the space

W / W1 / W11 / W11 1 / W11 1A / W11 1AA

But for W1, you'd do

W / W1 / W11 / W1 1A / W1 1AA

Which would be jarring - you don't know when the inward code ends without typing a space, so you have to infer.

That said there's no reason not to allow [a-zA-Z0-9 ] and format after typing is finished (onBlur or even after submission).

An aside about the mobile app:

Pros-

It integrates well with google things that Firefox seemingly doesn't, eg. Autofill of payment details, and still has some adblocking unlike chrome. The fire button.

Cons-

It has problems downloading most things, and the renderer blanks out when scrolling sometimes, and the the blocking isn't as comprehensive as ublock/privacy badger/decentraleyes.

Worth having as a second install I think

I do also wonder what people consider modern. As I sit in my flat-roofed 1880’s Chicago home. Surrounding block after block of flat-roofed residential buildings housing millions of people, largely constructed between 1872 and 1930.
Yeah it would, and ideally it should be possible for the user to choose to include the signature or not in their images. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see this type of tech being the norm in the future, perhaps in a sneaky way like what they did with printers and digital watermarking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code). We may even see this in other integrated sensors like a MEMS mic with a built-in AD on the silicon.
It became less cool when it started attracting big money. The VC industry incentivizes exponential growth via privacy intrusion, so that's what most startups pursue. Building a useful technology is only the bait to onboard the chumps (which includes both clients and employees); once enough chumps are onboard the incentive structure changes to exclusively "moar growth, moar privacy intrusion, moar rent-seeking" until the company crashes and burns and then we do it all over again.

I despise the incentive structures modern VCs create. Exponential growth is always inherently time-limited and thus it's fundamentally at odds with building a sustainable company that creates great technology over the long term.

> Can you point to some less biased source than the US military?

Yes. I called the 1934 document a lease, but it was actually a treaty that also included a modified form of the earlier lease's provisions.

In 1934, a new Cuban-American Treaty of Relations,
reaffirming the lease, granted Cuba and its trading
partners free access through the bay, modified the lease
payment from $2,000 in U.S. gold coins per year to the
1934 equivalent value of $4,085 in U.S. dollars,
and made the lease permanent unless both governments
agreed to break it, or until the U.S. abandoned the base
property. [1]

> I think it's mostly the label of "bad faith" that frustrates me.

You can re-label it if you don't like the label. To me, if a person is trying to manipulate you, the label "bad faith" is not unjustified. But if that label doesn't work for you, pick another one.

> I still question how it could be "bad faith" if she doesn't believe she's acting in bad faith.

Because people's intentions and beliefs are not the same as their actions and the actual impact of those actions on others. It should be the case that if we have good intentions, we take good actions and our actions have good impact on others. But unfortunately it isn't always the case.

(Note also that I only said your ex "possibly" didn't realize that she was being manipulative. It's also quite possible that she did.)
Charity doesn't mean "has to waste money".
That's a great question. One that I bet very few people on HN are at all qualified to answer.

I get similarly tired when I watch my non-technical friends on FB make pronouncements about technology.

But please, don't don the mantle of expertise and make pronouncements, especially in areas you have no understanding of. It's exhausting.

That same reasoning applies to the current large oil companies who aren't really doing everything they can to increase production because doing so would bring them a lower rate of profit.

Straw man. Core inflation includes housing and healthcare.

Compression is a component of general intelligence. A few years ago I was very sceptical of machine learning ever leading to general intelligence. I've since changed my mind. There are a lot of parallels to this work and the concept of "embeddings" in machine learning.

Intelligence requires the ability to generalize. A prerequisite for generalization is the ability to take something high-dimensional and reduce it to a lower-dimensional representation to allow comparison and grouping of concepts.

We're doing this all the time. Take a pen for example: we're able to combine information from sight, touch, and sound. Through some mechanism, our brains reduce the multi-sensory information and create a consistent representation that is able to invoke past memories and knowledge about pens.

Our brains encode the embeddings in a very different way to deep learning neural networks, but the commonality is that both are able to compress data into a _useful_ representation. Note that as a result of this, the quality of the compression is important. Some forms of compression might be very efficient but they also tangle concepts together, resulting in loss of composability. The ideal compression (from an intelligence point of view) is both information efficient and maximally composable.
I don't follow, can you please clarify?

Edit: Reread and understand now...

The point is that GDP is a measure of how much the economy in the US grows or contracts, just as CPI is a measure of how much prices in the US grow or contract. You shouldn't view GDP as a personal indicator of economic growth, just like CPI isn't an analysis of costs on your personal spending. Treating it as such feels like distorting the purpose of the measure to suit a narrative.
A major reason gasoline, diesel and natural gas prices are spiking is the push to export more fossil fuels from the USA by the oil/gas industry. This was facilitated by the 2015 decision to eliminate the ban on crude oil exports, which Obama/Biden and Republicans backed. It's simple supply and demand: reduce domestic supply by increasing exports to jack up domestic prices and increase profits. Around the same time at least one major domestic refinery was also closed, adding to the domestic supply restriction.

There is some effort to get the ban re-instated as of 2021:

> "Khanna drafted a letter to the White House Monday signed by nine Democrats urging the administration to block the export of U.S. oil, which has been allowed since 2015 when Congress lifted a 40-year-old ban on the practice. Since then, U.S. exports have regularly surpassed 3 million barrels a day, more than the production of major OPEC members such as Kuwait and Iran."

> chance of being a coincidence.

You can’t really work it like that. If I roll a dice and get a 6, you’d maybe say that this might be a coincidence because there’s 6 possible outcomes, with 1 chance of a , so a high chance it was a coincidence. But there’s 365 days in a year, and 200 countries in the world. So actually the fact that I rolled a 6 on this day and in this country has a 1:73000 chance and clearly can’t be just a coincidence. Now clearly something must be up, and I must be cheating at dice!

UI based flows for integrations are as bad as UI based flows for ETL. For some reason, we managed to move past UI to code for ETL, but now we are taking the exact same path for integrations. Integrations are complex, you might have complex requirements, polling and pushing needs depending on the applications, fast lookups needs, legacy IT solutions that hold critical data. I don't think we are ready to go full UI in this space, I think good orchestration and good microservices are still a better choice.

It's also worth realizing that much of style comes from technology -- an architect makes his name by designing something that couldn't have been built fifty years ago.

Much of 19th century style was built around millwork, because millwork let you use this wide flat boards and linear patterns that were all but impossible to do at scale before.

For the 20th, you had glass, steel and concrete -- because again, there were things you could do with concrete that you just couldn't before.

So it was back to the beginning of time; you give an architect a flying buttress, and he's going to use it.
