How? Precisely?

I’ll vote unequivocally against any reparations. It’s illogical, immoral and unjust.
But Feds have both put trillions of dollars into the economy and kept the interest rate near zero. So I think it’s useless to argue which exactly of these moves has caused bubbles.
> So far what we've seen is GDP/unemployment have not really reflected the same bearish picture (yet).

This has been puzzling me so far. Tech hiring is hot as ever even with a few notable companies doing hiring freezes to various degrees. Can't help but feel like the market has to cool at some point.
Yes that's correct, the jailbreak itself uses these vulnerabilities.
Sounds like you’re just arguing the definition of 10x which is pretty irrelevant to OPs post.
Maybe it boosts sales of non-food items.

If your hand cart gets full of groceries, you might not pick up other stuff on that trip, like light bulbs, ballpoint pens, a potted plant, or a toy for your kid.

After you've left the grocery store, you still need those things. So you go to the hardware store, office supply store, nursery, or toy store because that's where you prefer to buy that stuff if you're making a separate trip anyway.

Grocery stores get those purchases because of convenience. Take away the convenience and they might lose the purchases.
You get a guaranteed return depending on how long you lock up your cash. You may or may not beat inflation, but it still protects you on some level.
Aside from the leverage issues other point out in RE, you have to consider the political risk.

How safe do you feel that a piece of paper saying that plot of land is yours will hold up when there's a raging mob threatening politicians to do something about homelessness/housing prices/AirBnB/Asset managers holding all the properties?

The political risk in the West is at Emerging Markets levels. We've seen G7 nations de-bank their citizens extra-judicially, seize assets and remove licenses, remove freedom of movement, create an entire second-class of citizenship, lock up people for committing no crimes. This is normal. No one is protesting. The media agrees as does Hollywood.

If I had anything beyond my one property in which I reside I'd actually be pretty scared. This stuff happens in Emerging Markets all the time: the government tells anyone with more than one property to pick one to keep. All foreign property owners have their property forfeit or taxed to the point where they are forced to sell.

These actions are not out of the realm of possibility in the West any more, especially with the current leaders. There will be no tears shed for the poor landlords and property owners who can only keep their principal residence.
Their reasons, or my reasons for thanking them?

I think their reason was that watching TV is a brainless activity, and they preferred me to use my brain. They were fine with me, say, teaching myself BASIC. It wasn't an aversion to technology in general.

They also carefully monitored the content, there was plenty of stuff they'd rather we didn't see.

Why did I thank them? Because they gave me an appreciation that life is to be lived, not wasted away watching some idiot spouting nonsense that isn't relevant 5 seconds later (if it ever was).

I wasn't the only one in my class like that (though we were a minority). But you could see the difference in those who did and those who didn't - in intelligence, manners, energy levels, and generally being better human beings.
Shareholders and gold hoarders pay too. Unless they don’t live in The country, or if they rent in which case they pay indirectly through what they pay to their landlord.
It's a great book too.
What great timing! I was just thinking about wanting something to generate a static website for graph data I've gathered in AWS Neptune. I'm definitely going to play around with this when I have some time.
This was noted in Code Complete too, so you're probably in good company.
People don't have the time or inclination to understand the world, so they focus on the targets pushed out in front of them, especially if you can paint them as comic book villains so people don't have to take too much time figuring out who they side with.
Clients are heard and in charge. These are smart people who will terminate the relationship if their goals aren’t being met. This isn’t your retirement account. These are accounts in the 9+ figure range.
Unless you’re retiring in the next 10 years, or planning on purchasing a house in the next few years, then just make your emergency fund a little bigger and hold on to your job. Follow your normal financial planning.

You’re not going to outplay market trends, and if you’re young/middle aged then it doesn’t matter any way.
Amazon stock isn’t backed by nothing but emotion. It’s backed by a company that is the largest e-commerce provider and cloud provider.
I can try to provide some additional information:

1. If you have a view of current market dynamics that you think many other investors have wrong, it can be profitable to go long/short an individual stock. E.g. you have some data suggesting that company XYZ is going to have a great quarter relative to market expectations, and buy some of the stock. Hedge funds do this all the time, with mixed success.

2. Some investors don't want to be exposed to the up/down trends in the overall market, and would prefer an investing strategy whose return/risk profile is independent of the general market. You can do this by creating long/short portfolios in individual sectors/stocks. For example, if you are long stock A, short stock B, you can make money if the market rises or falls, as long as you were right about the relative performance of each stock. In a rising market, you would make money if stock A gained more than stock B. In a falling market, you would make money if stock A lost less than stock B.
It seems to me that with the pandemic ebbing, that the only systemic shock going on right now is the war in Ukraine. Russia can't sustain either its offensive or its separation from global fuel markets for very long without collapsing. Developed economies aren't sitting on giant piles of toxic assets or collapsing consumer demand and employment is still sky high. I don't see how this goes much beyond an asset correction. We've only seen companies floating on untenable valuations get hurt thus far and it seems unlikely that will be a contagion to the rest of the economy.
I had a near miss like this that really scared me in Vancouver. I was going straight, and the light went yellow just before I got to the intersection. Thinking like a car, I speed up to clear the intersection before the red light. An oncoming car in the left lane also sped up to make a left turn. I don't remember if he indicated, certainly I didn't see it. We both slammed on the brakes and narrowly missed each other. He honked at me and was pissed. I was too scared and shaken for a while to realize I had the right of way. My next realization was that it doesn't matter if I have the right of way and am dead. Since then I always look carefully for left turners, even if they're not indicating, and I stop for yellow lights whenever possible (which to be fair, is what one is supposed to do.) Cycling on roads with cars is dangerous, even when there is a dedicated bike lane.
Always functional; I'd never try to implement unit testing with classes, that sounds like a nightmare. I'm not talking about the difficulties of writing a unit test, which is where the oop/functional divide is important. I'm talking about the increased time to market, the difficulties of maintaining tests over time, the need to have everyone on the team be equally committed to tdd, etc etc. These are the things that kill good testing practices.
can you try to replace "mentally weak user" by "gullible teenager"?

Although both are correct, one denote a blaming approach and the other one a more empathetic note.
I’m 32. I graduated high school in 2008. I didn’t know a recession happened at the time. My family was already relatively poor, living in a somewhat rural area, so it didn’t really impact us.
So I’ve technically lived through a recession, even as an “adult” (18), but a recession now would be entirely different for me.
Remember, people that believed in pets.com or Enron got 0.

You are being very optimistic to assume your pick is the one to not only survive but thrive.
"During periods of stagnant economic growth and high inflation, such as stagflation, the Taylor rule provides little guidance to policy makers, since the terms of the equation then tend to cancel each other out"

Although I wouldn't go as far as to say we are in stagflation, it seems like the current environment wouldn't be an optimal place to use the rule. Ultimately I think the Fed took a view and have stuck with that, for better or for worse, and they are valuing consistency over diverging economic models.

I think it would work for anyone that had one, even if they were the only one, as they would be a much more defensive driver. They would probably save money on gas as well :)
It has a slick interface and has a "rightsized" feature-set, not too many, not too few. Just enough to be productive without overwhelming you with options.
Sounds more like it's the cars that are risky, not the cycling.
In effect, they are owned by Vanguard, Blackrock, Fidelity, etc. Those firms buy the shares with your money, then those firms pick the boards of the companies they bought with your money. So basically the boards of a hand full of the big investment firms own and run every publicly traded company.

No one has ever been injured cycling on a trail! It’s amazing how the laws of physics no longer apply once you stop sharing infrastructure with motor vehicles.

More seriously, you can easily hit a rock or something and go over the handlebars on a bike path.
what is GCP/AWS?
The last few minutes of I Am the Resurrection by The Stone Roses are pretty reliable for me.
All the nodes are processing the same thing so the processing power is equal to one node.

This is why blockchain technology took so long to be invented. If you were going to present a paper at a computer science conference where you use 5000 nodes to do the work of 1 node you never would have had the paper accepted.
Good questions. Can they maintain the high performance culture without large stock compensation?

The best option I see following a similar path is TSLA. They currently have 2% of us auto sales. The energy business is tiny, AI/FSD is controversial, but if it works it will be worth a lot.

Freedom in an unregulated space requires less freedom for the individual, I suppose.
Was it really a VM, or wasn't just the O-code translated to microcode by the compiler?
It means monthly payments are lower than if person would sell and buy with higher interest. It is very strong incentive to not sell.
>We realized that there's an entire generation of folks; many running companies, that have never seen a real bear market.

This is true for every recession, so maybe rethink your friends logic.
Having done a fair bit of C/C++ interop stuff with C#, I would say this is definitely its standout compared to Java.

The things you mention are huge, along with "UnmanagedCallersOnly", the ability to write structs and mark them as meant to be used in interop code (see "Blittable/Unmanaged Types" proposal that was recently adopted), and the seamless "DllInterop" annotations for pulling in native external methods.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/improvements-in-native...

The team that works on the native/interop stuff is top-notch, and they're constantly pushing boundaries and making neat improvements.

I'm more of a JVM guy, but credit is well due here.

This assumes that it's completely impossible to not hit your head when you fall on your side. Which is blatantly not true. This isn't a three-wheeler bike which is much harder to tip over. It's just a two wheeler that's longer. I can attest from personal experience that if you fall sideways, chances are you'll crack the side of your skull open. I got into a bike accident where someone T-boned me and if I hadn't had the helmet on, at the very least I'd have a concussion

The idea that you don't need to wear a helmet cause you won't fall over the handlebars is nonsense
Yeah, I said "we", but I guess you'll twist it in whichever way you like /shrug

Also: thanks for reinforcing my point hehe, appreciate that :)
What Is NaNoWriMo?
> In the early 80s, the G7 economies tightened the money supply, raising interest rates dramatically, in an effort to bring inflation under control. You can see the effect in this image:

It's fascinating how much attention the Federal Reserve gets when it comes to the business cycle. It's not clear what's being referenced above, but the reference to the Fed funds rate chart below suggests it's "the Fed" and company.

It's possible, though, that the Fed is irrelevant.

Have a look at a different interest rate chart: the 30-year Treasury yield (10-year chart looks similar). This is the risk-free price of money that comes due in 30 years [zoom out by clicking "max"]. Given the three-decade duration, this is about as close as one can get to answering the question: what is the economy likely to look like if the Fed didn't matter? This market is giving a peek into the relative level of growth and inflation expectation in the distant future.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DGS30

The chart peaks around 1981 and from there it's a fully-loaded train barreling down the hill without a brake and only hitting the occasional bump along the way. Through recession (grey bands) and recoveries (after the grey bands), through manias (1999-2000, 2006-2007, 2020-?) this long-term rate sets lower highs and lower lows, year after year.

During all this time, the Fed is doing its thing, pumping up the idea that it controls "the money supply" and it alone can fight inflation or get the economy out of recession.

That is, until this year. Depending on how you look at it, the top of the long-term trend line may have been broken this year, or just barely touched. In other words, this chart sits at a possible inflection point marking either the beginning of a new regeime (much higher interest rates) or reversion to the status quo (much lower and likely negative interest rates).

The point of all of this is that if the Fed were indeed the center of the financial universe, is this the kind of chart you'd expect to see? What factor(s) in the real economy are capable of producing a chart like that, independent of the Fed? Finally, what happens when/if this chart crosses the x-axis, or breaks decisively above trend?
SolveSpace is by far the most interesting thing happening in open source 3D parametric CAD, specifically because they have built their own advanced parametric CAD kernel and constraint solver. The only other "advanced" open source kernel is Open Cascade which is a little difficult to work with, and nowhere near the commercial Parasolid in its functionality and accessibility. I would love to see some significant sponsorship of SolveSpace, there is enormous potential for a modern and useable Parametric Kernel.
Never liked carts either. I can fit everything I need in a basket or in my hands. I don’t know why but it gives me very unpleasant feelings thinking about spending an hour at a grocery store with a completely filled cart.
You end up with a Frankenstein application where different product areas feel like they were built by entirely different companies. There's a real price to giving that much autonomy to each development team. You want teams to be empowered, but there has to be ground rules. Having to unwind the "every team had all the freedoms" and having dozens of databases and hundreds of microservices makes implementing anything cross-cutting (auditing, analytics) a slow-as-molasses multi-quarter initiative.
Not only explain the source, but also format and present it in a nicer way.

Many websites’ code now are minified so I have to copy and paste it around then manually clean it up before I can start reading it.

Transitivity. I think if you can't take responsibility for the sins of the US, you shouldn't get a vote. Votes are for people who are all-in.
A guaranteed return of dollars. What those dollars are worth is not guaranteed.

Imagine Tesla would hand out a certain type of share that after 10 years turns into 2 shares. Nobody would call that a risk free return. Because you don't know how much dollars you will get for those two shares.

The same with dollars. You don't know how much Tesla shares you will get for those dollars.
Yes, Berkshire Hathaway and Renaissance are just figments of the imagination.
That indirection can end up a bit fractal. Sometimes the duplication is less bad than the readability reduction. You have to trust your intuition at those times
Zero percent interest rates cause a bubble because valuations have to increase to the point where their forward-looking returns are a risk premium above bonds. When rates are zero for a long time, that means valuations go very very high. When rates come back up, valuations drop. Speculation can add further overshoot in both directions.
Yeah that is the most real manifestation of this kind of concept in modern days. The Russians have built and operated dozens of PWRs for terrestrial commercial applications in the past few decades as well (the VVER). The RBMK has been retired as a design since 1960 or so.

There are laws authorizing their use, they are registered with licensing required for use. That’s why.
Well, this explaination at least makes some sense to me

> Walker said he believed this was likely to be connected to cycling being relatively rare in the UK, and drivers thus forming preconceived ideas about cyclists based on what they wore. “This may lead drivers to believe cyclists with helmets are more serious, experienced and predictable than those without,” he wrote.

The article also mentions this risk-taking study where some participants were asked to gamble and some had helmets on and some had hats on, and found that people with helmets on took greater risks. If I were asked to do something like wear a helmet where one is completely unwarranted, I might feel silly and do silly things for that extra fun factor. Wearing a helmet on a bike results in a completely different mindset than wearing a helmet at the office, if not solely for the fact that it's unusual behavior.
To be clear, Google did the right thing here. Xiaomi proposed an evil user-hostile patch, which Google refused to merge.
In Zig print formatting is comptime (it is evaluated at compile-time). I find this so neat. You can also achieve comptime monomorphization (generics) and polymorphism (interfaces) this way. No macros or templates needed.

Same as always, keep investing in a well-diversified spread. The stock market as a whole will always bounce back. That or society collapses and your numbers in a computer are worthless anyway.

This is the first big downturn I've been prepared to invest in, so personally I'm going to buy more than usual. I see it as stocks being on sale.
hello chengiz khan
Risk in this context means uncertainty - since the government can print money it is always able to pay its debts. You might not get a great return on your investment, but the government always has the capability to pay you back. There’s little reward with no risk.
That's the same blog post you promoted above and I responded to it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31430186

TBH, it looks like you have a huge axe to grind but don't understand the subject very well. That's why I suggested that you try actually building some things using web3 (which is an eth library)!

It will give you a better mental model of how it works. That will definitely improve your ability to write about web3. Imagining hypothetical apps falls far short of just building a prototype.
This is patent encumbered, so if you use it for a product, you’re setting yourself up for trouble down the line.

The project page should be updated to mention the patent situation IMO. The license is MIT, but that doesn’t mean you can use this without paying the patent holder whatever has asks.
Looking at the photos of Mariupol or old photos of Tokyo and Dresden, I just feel sorrow.

I can never leave carts unattended, because the store employees think it’s abandoned and whisk it away to the restock area. It’s happened multiple times to me.
The general advice is always to aim for a positive alpha. No investor aims for a negative alpha, regardless of the economic climate.
Great work. I'm inspired seeing others use their skills to work on something important. So many of the smartest, most well educated engineers of my generation have put their talents to use doing things that are of little value to society. Thank you for demonstrating to us what else is possible.
So ARM64 has dedicated instructions for CRC32, but implementing it by hand using SIMD is still faster. Score another point for RISC.
your point cannot be overstated. my biggest fears around the pandemic shutdowns came from my own experience managing production systems, and I think our policymakers were frighteningly naive as to what it meant to shut down the economy. and here we are.
yeah I was thinking the same thing? Maybe its something to do with CD/CI. being able to push changes to end users fast ?
The FED can buy bonds in an auction at will. Because it prints the money to do so. It's not like the FED goes "Uh oh, those bonds are too expensive for me".
You are correct that the stated policy positions of a politician don't always align with their voting record but innate characteristics of a human aren't a policy position at all. If the electorate paid attention to the people that they elect and if they're voting record aligns with their stated positions things would get a lot better.

At least in the United States around 80% of the federal government is re-elected every two years. At local levels there is also a similarly high percentage of turnover in just a few years time. So at most if someone campaigns on something that they do not follow through with their votes in 2 years we can swap them out. The problem is when people are voting based upon identities people continue to get reelected to office based upon identities. We see this with long standing politicians that continue to get elected while rarely voting for the actual policies their constituents want.
hHe article is full of BS, you don't hurt yourself "going over the handlebars" you hurt yourself with sudden impact to your head. This might happen after you go over the bars, hit your head on the bars, get t-boned or something hits you from behind. The logic that "helmets make risky people take bigger risks" is criminally false. It's like saying wearing a seat belt makes you drive aggressively because you feel your now invincible.
I believe hdf5 is the format that can serve that purpose.
