For those who don't know about shadow stats, here's a good explanation of the issues with it, and why their numbers are off https://fullstackeconomics.com/no-the-real-inflation-rate-is...

> Based on my conversations with Williams, I think I now understand what he’s doing: he’s misinterpreting a cumulative 20-year change in the measured price level as a change in the measured annual inflation rate. And that caused him to overestimate that annual change by at least an order of magnitude.

You could have made your point without being rude to the parent.
It's about as small as first world problems get, but it's annoying all the same.

This logic needs to stop. We may as all well live in mud huts. Then we can have "real problems". You can presume privilege is your problem, or, we can continue to strive for better conditions always as a culture. Low standards will lead you exactly where you belong, your mud hut.
Correct.

Not sure why you linked that?
This sounds like trying to measure a stream by sampling a lake.

It’s entirely possible that people with high liquidity were buying and selling multiple properties while people with low liquidity were staying put. That would naturally mean more wealthy people are buying (and selling), and foreign owners are likely much wealthier than the average Canadian home owner.
> an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for computer systems analysts, computer programmers, software engineers, and other similarly skilled workers in the computer field who meet certain tests regarding their job duties and who are paid at least $684* per week on a salary basis or paid on an hourly basis, at a rate not less than $27.63 an hour.

NB: California has a much higher exemption threshold for the industry: $47.48/hour or $8,242.32/mo on a salary basis.
I’m just shocked and amazed. Presumably this company had hundreds of employees, millions in revenue, etc. what would have caused them to disappear like this?

I’m guessing there is a large legal aspect we haven’t heard about yet. Somebody did some crimes.
No application is perfect, but running Brave is pretty safe. The browser is based on aggressively-tested components, hosted in the open, updated regularly, and routinely hammered-on by reputable folks in the security industry. Not to mention, we pay folks who find weak spots.
The goal is to dissuade flipping, the same reason we have short and long-term capital gains.

Nobody should be buying a house intending to sell it within a year, so the sellers affected are those already affected by some external influence (assuming they weren't trying to flip it).

The only way to increase sellers by reducing tax is to make it obvious it's a temporary reduction - if you say "anyone who sells in 2022 will do so with no capital gains" you'll create a lot of sellers, but most of those will just buy similar houses nearby.

You need to increase sellers without also increasing buyers, which you do by getting more houses to sell (developers as sellers), or getting people to move away (they sell but don't buy), or by having people sell without buying (they die or move in together, or rent, etc).
It is worth noting that unlike some other energy sectors, unit costs of storage and renewable continue to trend down aggressively.

It’s still not quite so cheap that recycling it makes no economic sense, so if it is possible a way will be figured out sooner or later. (Metal is recyclable because recycling it requires so much less energy than producing it; plastic is super cheap and so is basically never recycled.)
RIA Novosti is mainstream.

Mainstream doesn't mean a particular political affiliation or even objectivity. It just means the most widely referred to.

Dozhd and Echo Moskvy were never "mainstream", quite the opposite.
I often wonder if we could start a movement of young people to start afresh elsewhere. We are the workers and the lifeblood of the cities we can't afford. Could we pick a city and move in on it?

Take My App Ideas
These are boogieman policies that have zero influence on the root cause.

Foreign investors jump into the housing market because the current system ensures that the supply of housing is limited so it is an attractive way to park your wealth.

But that is not the root cause.

The root cause is the system that is geared to keep houses always appreciating via supply constraints: aggressive zoning, discretionary permitting, NIMBYism.

Until we liberalize zoning, legalize building, and reject the idea that houses have to be appreciating assets, the issue will continue.

As it is often the case, politicians go for the headline with the highest electoral ROI, rather than tackle the real issues.
And a lot of other shaddy things that Mozilla has never done, like the affiliate link hijacking (which yes, was supposedly a "bug" but you have to admit that it's an awfully convenient "bug"), and setting up crypto wallets for content creators without solicitation and then collecting money on their behalf.
Too many.

Back in the 80s my father got a new PC from his university. It's a brand new IBM-PC compatible with two floppies, no HD, a turbo button and a turn-key lock.

Fast forward 10 years, in 1993 we got a new 486 machine and we installed Windows 95 a couple of years later using tons of floppies.

Fast forward another 3 years we finally got a new Pentium with perhaps 16MB of RAM and a CD driver. I played first modern game Duke Nukem 3d on that gig and still remember that quiet night. I'll probably remember it till my death.

In a few years we got another machine with maybe 32MB of RAM and I started to play every FPS I can find. I found out about Worldcraft and started to make some levels. Unfortunately this did not turn into a career. I still regret that I didn't push on because I was probably one of the first group of players in my country that actually do any level design.

Now everything above becomes history. Along with it cassette player, CD player, pocket pet, mp3 player, DVD player, etc. Tech moves so fast.
> it's already completely undermined by mail in voting

This keeps coming up but is not generally true. See my comment from another thread [0]:

I don't know how it's done in the USA, but in Germany voting by post has to be carried out before the day of the election. The actual postal votes are stored and only opened on the day of the election. After somebody send in their postal vote they can go to the public voting office and declare to invalidate their postal vote. The people counting the postal votes will get a list with invalidated votes and remove these envelopes before the votes are opened. The person who invalidated can then either do another postal vote or vote at the ballot box.

So in Germany postal voting is secured against selling votes.

The first step in preparation of salt preserved foods was often to wash away as much salt as possible. For instance, by soaking your salted pork in fresh water to leach out as much of the salt as you could.

Even so, they surely ate a lot of salt.

If it was a one in 100 years event or a one in 200 years event, it was still pretty mild as far as crises go. If your horizon is 50 years, there is a real risk that you will experience something far worse in your lifetime.
I don’t know that people want to live where the jobs are necessarily (although it helps for ease of switching jobs). Personally I think the move to remote work was very overhyped during the pandemic, but it is having an impact on the housing market of smaller areas.

People want to live where the amenities are, and all other things being equal more population can support more diverse sets of amenities. E.g. you need enough gay people in a town to support a regularly open gay bar, and generally speaking people want to have a choice of bars for going out.

When you say that you've observed what has happened over multiple decades, are you observing people within your own social circle and are those people from a diverse and representative background or are they from a narrow demographic? It's true that the relative economic status of white men has declined over the last few decades, but the economic status of women or men from other ethnic groups has grown significantly in that time.

I mean, the number of dependencies a node project uses doesn't really affect me. If they have 1 or if they have 1 million, it's the same "npm install" command.

I personally like to keep third-party dependencies as minimal as possible, mostly to avoid getting 8 emails a day from dependabot telling me that a dependency of a dependency of a dependency has a regex denial of service attack and some dependency in the middle has a massive breaking change that prevents another dependency from being upgraded to include the fix. (Nevermind that I'm using it on the frontend, so if a user picks a bad regex they will slow down their own browser and nobody else's.)

That's awesome. Not knocking it at all, but for others, comparing the $100k from GitHub sponsors to a corporate-type salary isn't always straightforward. You would have to consider a lot of things, especially in the US. Things like 401k matching, cost of health insurance for a 1-man company versus as an employee, vacation and sick time, and other benefits. Oh, and self-employment tax (ouch). And a few other items like carrying your own liability insurance if needed, other expenses you might have as a freelancer, etc.

Again, not diminishing the accomplishment at all...very impressive.
>GPL actually restricts certain freedoms to preserve others. The "actually free" (public domain) licenses allow you to do things Stallman considers harmful, which he defines as a violation of user freedoms. In other words, his licenses remove the freedom to remove freedoms.

i know what the "freedom" that GPL restricts. it is about using GPL code in proprietary software. thats all.

look at it from GPL POV. i am contributing to a GPL software which is free software (beer and speech), a person comes along and uses the freedom i gave in my license and uses that code in a proprietary software. now, the intermediate dev is free to use the code but their end users now suddenly find that they are using my code and yet the intermediate dev put proprietary license, thereby restricting their freedom.

i have a small question to ask for all gpl naysayers, why do you care about this intermediate dev's freedom and not about the freedom of the end users?

look at it this way. Apple took bsd kernel whatnot and made it into proprietary code. the license gives them the right to do that but what about end users. now they are forced to use proprietary code. Had apple used GPL code, they would have been forced to give source code to their customers and we would not be reverse engineering asahi linux like we are doing it now. it would have been as easy as linux is right now.

Their beliefs based on the facts which are hard to dispute:

1) Right Sector - Ukrainian nationalist neo-nazi political party in Ukrainian parliamentary

2) Azov Detachment - neo-Nazi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, who participated in wars in Donbass

3) Lots of streets are named after Stepan Bandera, for example Stepan Bandera Avenue in Kyiv, who was a leader of Ukrainian ultranationalists and cooperated with Nazi Germany in 1941 against USSR
I guess single-family housing will be a privilege reserved to the people who can afford a down payment! That's a pretty sneaky way to do class warfare: cloaking it in the language of justice. I'm almost impressed!

We have a history of similar measures to draw from. In the 1950s lots of people believed that banning single-room occupancy buildings was the proper solution to a lot of problems - they were small! they were inhumane! they are associated with crime! New York City lost about 100,000 units, mostly converted into two-bedroom apartments, occupied by good people™ who belonged in families. "Consequently," said activist George McDonald in the wake of this policy, "people sleep on grates outside."

Maybe your laws won't quite achieve this! But to the extent they enjoy success in influencing housing prices, they will be harming those who cannot afford homes.
No miner; in fact we were the first browser (to my knowledge) to block crypto-miners back in 2017/18 when they began appearing on the Web (and being delivered via third-party ad networks).

Brave does come with Brave Rewards, and optional component which enables users to participate in privacy-preserving advertising (ads are matched locally, on your device). Users who opt-in receive 70% of the associated revenue for ads they see. Rewards are delivered in the form of BAT (and ERC-20 token), which can be kept, or gifted to content creators across the Web as a means of support.
Well, any hot table should be indexed (with regards to your access patterns) and, thankfully, the data structures used to implement tables and indexes don't behave linearly :)

Of course, if your application rarely makes use of older rows, it could still make sense to offload them to some kind of colder, cheaper storage.

If Google's servers pre-cache the contents of the article, the experience is instant when you click on a link, so the idea that it's slower to read a Google Amp Link on a Google Search Result compared to clicking out to a separate website is false.

If a publisher simply uses Google Amp on their own site to display websites, then it can be slower.

They slowed the non-AMP ads because they didn't want loading them to interfere with the content the user was interested in reading.
The New Web Typography (2016)
Easy job.

But factor that easy job might be hell , the hard job might be heaven.

You have no idea what a job will be until you've been there for at least 6 months. After that the warts start to show. Even beyond compensation, quality managers are the most important thing.

I've had several nightmare managers who expected me to work nights, ignore known issues until a higher up notices ( of course you'll get thrown under the bus).

I've also had amazing managers who did everything they could to keep our team effective.

I'd go for whichever job provides the most PTO. I'm at a point where I want to move to Europe just because of the work like balance.

> True enough. This is why the simulation hypothesis is so interesting - i.e. the notion we are all living in a perfect VR simulation that never glitches.

That’s not the hypothesis, afaik - we’re beings generated inside the simulation rather than ‘brains in a vat’ experiencing it. Science could address veracity if (say) whatever was running the simulation chose to make it apparent, either directly (by revelation) or by some quirk of how physics operated, for example if we detected some (reflected) method to control how reality was being generated.

Saying that, I’ve pondered that giving every person their own entire universe where they had free will but everyone else was a simulated non-player character was one way of solving the religious problem of evil - nothing evil actually happens to real humans, it’s just a scripted set of tests to see whether the particular individual chooses to be good or bad.
Right now everyone runs and compiles on the same computer. Basically the browser editor connects to that computer and lets you run vscode.

I'd argue it's not really a podcast if I can't.
All major market FM broadcasts in the United States have audio watermarking applied to them, and most likely to their online only streams as well. Do you hear the watermarking in that audio?

The system is called CBET and it's based on the psychoacoustic model as well, except it determines the level at which watermark should be injected at. High enough that it passes codecs easily, but just below perception so you generally can't detect the tones that it has added to the audio.

The trade is that CBET only moves about 8 bits/second of information through the side channel, which is just enough to push a station ID and timestamp through the channel for Nielsen's ratings purposes.
Unifi Protect requires a) their hardware, either a UNVR or a CloudKey Gen2+ or higher and b) their cloud to SSO into the mobile app. If you don't want the mobile app you can use it entirely locally, but you still have to use their hardware.

> As a result, products and services will become cheaper. As a result, people will have to work less for a living.

I think we've seen this play out before and instead of reducing work, our standards of living increase and people keep working about the same amount. See e.g. the post industrial world where homemakers had to scrub clothes, then got machines to do the scrubbing, but subsequently had to clean the clothes more frequently.

We might be able to reduce the overall amount of human work only through extremely successful social/political reforms similar to the ones that outlawed child labor and established the 40 hour work week. Assuming the technology will cause it to happen is bound to lead to disappointment.
I honestly don't understand why these companies aren't publishing their code for both firmware and server source.

A Russian invasion of Ukraine is more understandable than "Iraq 1", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War , which was Iraq invading Kuwait and the US freeing Kuwait from Iraqi invasion, scud missiles, and tanks?

Of course that's more "understandable" to you, because the rest of your history is equally misinformed and backwards.
They're all of the above plus brainwashed and with a very common revanchism sentiment.

Basically it's not hard to sell Nazis in Ukraine and "brotherly nation, that needs our help" narrative in Russia. The foundations are there, you just have to tap into them.

I literally was brought up on the idea that Ukraine is just the "border", not a real place. Kyiv is just another Russian city... and Ukrainians are just "polonized Russians". At 14 I was literally going to forums and argued against anyone claiming Ukrainian identity being separate.

Thankfully I grew out of that imperialist crap.
