>Why are you the one to decide what should have been a goal?

Notice how this is an absurd strawman. Also how this is not an argument.

I'm not claiming "I am the one to decide", if it wasn't obvious.

I'm stating my opinion on what should have been decided, followed by some arguments/qualifiers on where/why it should be applicable.

Generally, when people say something, it's their opinion. No clarification is required on that, it's a convention of human discussion. Even though people state things should be X or Y, they don't necessarily make the claim that they are the sole arbitrers of the ultimate authority on a subject: they convey their take on what should be/have been done.

>And aren't you aware that a lot of people do live in Mad Max like scenarios? Even in a modern country like Argentina the currency is in free fall, not to mention many unstable African countries

We've had inflation and catastrophes and we managed to move value without the blockchain.

You can trust the blockchain even less then.
The John Deere tractors that get the right to repair people riled up are the big expensive computer controlled ones. It's an extremely niche market but definitely an important one as farming is extremely important to the global economy.

For the consumer level tractors which are manufactured in a volume which is more similar to automobiles, there appears to be plenty of parts in the market to fix them. Even the consumer level tractor parts with John Deere labels on them seem to just be rebranded cheap commodity parts much of the time.
15 grammes of tritium in 1,000,000 tons of water

This sounds more like the "Labors" from Mobile Police Patlabor -- those were actually used in-universe for construction/maintenance work. (But of course, all humanoid robots are Gundams to the uninitiated, much like how all game consoles were Nintendos to the '90s mom)

Human Machinery, the company noted in the article responsible for the remote controlled robot arm system, has a pretty cool Japanese name: Jinki Ittai (人機一体). It's a play on the old Japanese term Jinba Ittai (人馬一体), which refers to how an experienced horserider can ride with such synergy with their horse as to appear as if they are one. The company name replaces the letter for "horse"(馬) with "machine"(機).

In fact, their official website seems to have their English name written much more literally, as Man-Machine Synergy Effectors, Inc. https://jinki.jp/
I think an important thing to point out in the comparison to Walmart is that Facebook have actively said to the market "We don't think this revenue stream is going to last, and we're going to plough billions into a completely new area". We all know fundamentally what Walmart does as a business is going to be here 50 years from now.

That's why the P/E is so low - because people are discounting future earnings by a lot because over the next 5 years there are about 3 big threats that are going to eat away at that revenue stream. (1: High value users leaving, 2: Regulatory pressure, 3: Massive spending on a new unproven business)

This is a pretty stupid argument; WoW and FF14 gold are not assets defined on the network. The goal of Ethereum is to record Ethereum-based assets (e.g. ERC20, ERC721), not to record the exchange of every asset on the web.

Does this generate a cross-platform lockfile? Besides usability, that is probably the most important feature from Poetry for me but I didn't see any details in this.

Is there any context? The article is definitely interesting itself, just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything.
1.5x isn't a real increase in staff rates if all it accounts for is taxes and benefits that the employer covers for regular employees anyway. It is like certain government employees who complain about being paid too little when the actual cost of their compensation in many cases is through the roof.

The situation is so bad that regulation or standard practices encouraging employers to document compensation figures instead of quasi-mythical salary figures would do a lot of good to reduce confusion in this area.

Simply put, house price is a function of rents for similar houses and the multiple of annual rent that houses sell for. The multiple is primarily a function of interest rates, and a significant proportion of house price increases in recent decades has been the increase in multiple. It is also a function of expected future house price growth - the higher the expectation, the higher the multiple, which is where psychology and FOMO comes into play.

The interesting thing about these ingredients that decide the multiple, is that they can turn sharply. If interest rates go up, and multiple starts to contract, at some point the belief that house prices always go up will be shaken, and instead of pricing in future house price growth, people will start pricing in future contraction.

Level of rents is a function of the state of local economy (broad salary levels, more or less) and house supply. Can probably broadly be approximated as GDP growth - so fairly low.

So at interest rates at very low levels and arguable on the way up, and growth expectations seemingly very positive, and economic growth looking shaky, it looks as if house prices may have more downside than upside.
Does anyone here not consider Facebook users “stupid f*’s” for trusting him?
I'd like to provide some context around the approved amount. Countrywide (and other originators) get their rates from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These two have guidelines set to approve X monthly payment based on your income (for instance, you can spend 28% of your income on your primary house).

These guidelines are set for BROAD populations - specifically very poor and "normal" people have the same guidelines. For poor people, a high threshold is important to "get them in a house" - they might genuenly need to spend 30% of their income on rent or mortgage. For "normal" people, that same percent is "way too much money" for "way too much house".

The result is that normal people get approved for a big fat mortgage. But we don't want a big fat house, we try and buy a normal house, but we really want it so we pay "just a little more than it is actually worth" and drive the price up "just a little".

Of note, FNMA and FDMC adjust their guidelines for high COL areas and some other guidelines. And also, their guidelines have moved over time. Also, it is a generally accepted "fact" that home ownership is good, and poor people should be encouraged to buy a house.
I just want to understand the problem: did HackerRank initiate the takedown? If so, that apology and $25K donation is not enough. They need to be sued with the help of NumFOCUS lawyers. My understanding is that they’ve done this many times in the past and used “third-party” as an excuse.

I’ve never used HackerRank but this made sure I will never use them in the future.

If that were so then I would agree (although, depending on how much code is in the skeleton, it might not contain enough creativity to reach the threshold for copyrightability). But didn't sound like what's happening in this particular case (the wording is a bit ambiguous ... maybe deliberately?):

I spent most of my 20s thinking, man, fuck home ownership, I'm gonna rent forever (to my knowledge, no-one in my family had ever owned; I grew up in charity housing and inherited nothing at all). Then I got booted out of a place because the landlord wanted to sell. They offered it to me first, but I had no savings for a deposit. The same story played out amongst my friends, repeatedly, and it totally changed my mind. It wasn't rent increases that were worrisome or painful, it was being forced to move. I wanted to find somewhere I liked and bloody stay there, a literal impossibility all the while I rented. But if I could get a deposit together† then ownership would do it - plus it was revelatory to me that my mortgage payments would be less than the rents I'd been paying AND I could have them fixed for 10 whole years.

I didn't buy because it was a step onto the property ladder. I bought because it was less of a gamble than renting. I ended up staying in my first house for 17 years, whereas my record under a single landlord was 3.

> Maybe in 10 years I want a year off? What then? Maybe I want to change careers to something less intellectually demanding. Maybe I want to spend 50 hours a week with my kids. None of those are feasible if I need the salary.

During those 17 years I took at least two pay cuts, and multiple 2-6 month breaks between jobs, all affordable because I owned rather than rented. Lower outgoings made it possible to save more, plus my mortgage provider offers payment holidays. No landlord ever did!

> I opt for quality of life, which I don't achieve by giving it all to some property-owning entity who sells it to me at 3 times the price they paid a couple decades ago.

I mean, isn't "paying rent to a private landlord" doing just that? Except "sells it to me" is actually "allows me to live there, until they decide not to" and all the money you spent is gone.

† I lucked out with a lump sum/windfall through my employer; I'm making no claims that getting a deposit is easy/attainable
Yes, Blockchain does indeed solve the problem it creates.
Possibly, but it would be a hell of an uphill battle. There was no contract in place for the email provider to negligently interfere with. And the email provider's operation was perfectly regular and within the bounds of the standards of that service (which offers no delivery guarantees).
The games needs to be built to allow this, however here's how it works for games that do implement it.

This is using the C-Chain. Most games now would use a subnet (which is like a parallel blockchain integrated with the mainnet, but cheaper transactions)

3. ANYONE can Create a liquidity pair for the Final Fantasy ERC20 with AVAX in one or more of the numerous dex's (since i'm using avax, probably using Trader Joe's)

4. Players Swap Final Fantasy money for AVAX, use AVAX to purchase WOW NFT at any of the numerous NFT marketplaces.
It is. You can just look at the US and Canada over the same time period to see how out of wack Canada is.

Canada is basically the US minus the 2008 crash. It's just price inflations non-stop for 20 plus years.
And so do nuclear plants as part of their day to day operations. I don't have the figures to back that up but it's more than likely that The Fukushima Daiichi plant released more tritium during its operational life than the amount we're talking about right now. (Edit: according to the source from Wikipedia[1], we're talking about ~800TBq, which represents between 2 years and a decade of a operating plant discharge).

This is a complete non-issue.

Ask HN: Online PhD in Business: where? Worth it?
I have an MBA and lots of business experience.

It has always been my dream to have a PhD, and a PhD in Business seems to be the low-hanging fruit.

Wait, if you press the key for ‘k’ and the three way switch moves from lightbulb contact to battery contact. As the video explains the letter is rewired from one letter to another letter, say ‘x’, and when the circuit returns to the three-way switchs it’s now directed to the letter ‘x’ which is not pressed and in the lightbulb contact position.

So what happens if ‘k’ randomly returns to itself and the switch is in the battery contact position and not the lightbulb position—no light?

I feel like that's at least a solvable problem that makes itself obvious when the dependency is added. Multiple coexisting dependency versions sounds like a ticking time bomb to me.

Suppose I use a LibraryX that provides DataTypeX, and most of the functions in my project operate on DataTypeX. I later add another LibraryY, because it provides a utility function returning DataTypeX. I should be able to take the result and use it anywhere in my existing code. However, if my direct dependency on LibraryX is a different version than transitive dependency on LibraryX through LibraryY, then it may not have the same functionality. In trying to avoid a problem at compile-time, the package manager has introduced a huge potential problem at run-time.

Doesn't your example illuminate why systems of thought like psychoanalysis are useful?

We currently don't know concretely how psychological phenomena like consciousness, happiness, selfhood, desire are formed or what they consist of. We know they exist, because we experience them 'in normal human experience'.

Analogously, Aristotle did not know anything concrete about how atoms, energy, time, cells in the body worked. But his natural philosophy created a speculative framework to talk about these things, explore possibilities, and try to relate what was known or observed, to what might possibly be true.

The potential advantage of modern theories like psychoanalysis, is that today we are able to make a clear distinction between falsifiable scientific knowledge, and other types of statements about the world. Thus, we can evaluate Lacan's thought on the correct level - as a form of philosophy which gives us a way of thinking about certain matters without attempting to provide definitive information.

Alternative view as someone who's been following crypto forums over the past few years (and have a _small_ amount of money in various crypto-currencies): The crypto craze during the COVID era has a major undercurrent of pure pessimism / cynicism about the financial prospects for the Millennial+ generations. A very common theme of the interest can be described as effectively a financial YOLO. Many of the posters pretty clearly do not believe that they can prosper in the modern economy if they follow the standard rules. Wages aren't keeping up with inflation of the major assets people require (especially housing, childcare, etc). They see the economy as rigged by the financial elites and crypto as a untapped reserve of economic growth which they can leverage to allow them to have a middle to upper middle class lifestyle they believe that they should have.

For these people, the money they invest in crypto isn't extra money. It's money they _aren't_ investing in savings, in the stock market, etc.

Kelowna is part of the Okanagan tourist area and on the lake. What happens to the analysis of home prices when you remove the houses within walking distance to the water?
