Here's a similar list:

These are very good points - in the long run the probability of a massive run is 100%, and the risks of it happening sooner rather than later are higher because of the incentive of attacking the peg intentionally. This can be said about a lot of financial products.

I think that at this point, these risks are priced in by the market (Tether is selling at a discount from USDC). If you disagree with the market, it is your speculation, and also an opportunity to get rich if you are right. For example, the FTX exchange offers Tether put options as well as the ability of shorting Tether, and there are many other similar products.
Because when the Federal Reserve buys those treasuries, you're creating money out of thin air (QE).
A land owner has a whole continuum of choices because he is setting the rent price. It's no different from any other seller on the market. The higher price will push the potential tenant elsewhere but if other places are taxed the same way they may also need to raise prices so it will be a wash in lost customers and higher rent across the board.
Yeah I don't understand what the kerfuffle is. Sometimes they express disbelief or surprise, but it's never been a problem beyond telling them "I control the whole domain, you get a special address so I know if your database gets hacked and/or my information sold via this channel" and that almost always results in the employee being interested in getting the same thing for themselves.
Yeah, underpants-gnome levels of thinking through the plan:
1. Appropriate existing endowments
2. ????
3. Lots of new excellent colleges
Supported since forever by Cyrus IMAP for routing into subfolders.

For some unknown reason at Pitt people were taught to finish write their email as username+@pitt.edu ca. 1995. While it supported that as the inbox, most people were unaware that you could put +foo and have it go to the folder foo if one existed. But the address without the plus also worked.
Um, you can buy this data and get access to the raw, individual records no problem.

Here's one example - http://www.dev.kbmg.com/services-solutions/data/data-solutio...

I've seen this, and many other similar data sets. You can easily look up yourself, your friends, etc.

> i'll take it one further and say that having a messenger app that shows "online" or "active" status is not something I like

I'll take it even further than that and say that I don't like when there are markers for "read" versus "not read". In a vacuum, yes, it's useful, but there's a very common implicit assumption that one is obligated to respond as soon as a message is marked as "read", and that not doing so is an intention slight. The issue with this for me is that sometimes I might be busy enough that I'd want to respond to time-sensitive or otherwise important messages but would prefer to wait to respond to less urgent messages at a later time. I can't easily figure out which of the two categories a message falls in from just a short preview sometimes, so I end up leaving messages unread until later just to avoid accidentally causing someone to think I'm ignoring them. While I also find myself sometimes wanting to know whether a message is read or not, I don't really think it it ever makes me happier to know, since at best I'll gain no information, and at worst I'll end up feeling bad due to worrying that I've been intentionally ignored. Because of this, I generally turn off the feature whenever possible (even though it's generally symmetric that way), but an alternative might be to opt into it per conversation; there are definitely some people who I know I'd like to have it on since we mutually are secure about where we stand with each other, and knowing whether they saw my messages would be useful for purely for logistics (e.g. if I missed a message from my significant other asking me to pick something up while I'm out, they might be able to order online in time for it to come the next day). For the vast majority of my conversations though, I'd rather it just be turned off.
Calling is not the best most of communication for a lot of synchronous use cases. Talking about code is easier with chat, so you can copy and paste, and also keep history of what was talked about.

Also, voice calls are not always easy to do when you have other people around or are in a noisier environment.
There's still quite a bit on shortwave. BBC World Service is pretty much everywhere, and Radio Habana, Radio Romania, and a slew of other services are still kicking. For SHTF purposes, a good shortwave receiver and a longwire will run you maybe $100 - $150 USD and can be had for less if you buy used.
I miss that site. It had a real sense of community, threaded conversations that worked, no suggested posts, no adverts woven into the content. Then it was gone.
You found us :) That's the very early version of the marshaling support - it's pure ECMAScript, so it'll work in browsers, Node, or Deno.

`connect-web` will add the RPC layer, built on top of the browser's `fetch` API.

The fine print is where it all kind of falls apart.

It says they recommend SunRun for every aspect of the grid modification, including utility coordination.

Well, these are the states where SunRun operates... https://www.sunrun.com/solar-by-state ... And their advertising doesn't mention EV plug installs anywhere so you are in DIY/SOL territory for half the country, and in for a unique experience if in a good one

Because political campaigns and parties use this data too.
this doesn't make any sense though, your write up starts with an assumption that multiple records in the dataset are "obviously" the same entity ... so we wouldn't even need entity resolution then ...

"entity resolution" as a process should moreso imply how to determine whether two records that aren't obviously the same entity are actually the same entity ... and how you would go about discovering and proving and declaring that ...
It’s completely possible. Most people in e.g. Qatar can’t speak much Arabic. The most common languages spoken in the Gulf are Hindi and English.

I doubt that Japan will be going in that direction any time soon, but if they wanted to, they could.

Ask HN: Do you put your email address on your website?
Is it a bad idea? Does it invite spam/phishing? Or is it not really a big problem in practice?

It's not really hard to find my email address as-is, but it's maybe not as blindly scrape-able as it would be if I put it out there on my personal site
I imagine they're going with Mii-like avatars because they have business contexts in mind. What they could do instead is to give people at least two avatars for different contexts and then let the tool/environment set which they're using.

e.g., if you're in a business meeting, it automatically runs with your Mii-like avatar, otherwise if you're roaming a desertscape to relax on the couch after dinner, you can be a pink lemur in a cape and cowboy hat. Might as well prep for both contexts now rather than putting off either potential customer.
see https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0301.html

This is that feature in xmpp, but it didn't send as you typed, it batched up typing and sent just one packet a second (or so) with timed keystrokes in the packet so it could play back a simulation of you typing; thus giving the illusion of live typing while not swamping the network.

There's some demo gifs over on https://www.realjabber.org/ (the more recent website had flash demos only and has since been shut down...this is all a bit delapidated)
How much have those endowments grown through tuitions paid (and increased) by the growth of student loan debt? If there is to be loan forgiveness, it should be paid back from the endowments.

Yup. You can get pretty dang far with just "the task definition is in cloudformation, so update the image in cloudformation and submit the template". For a bit more complexity, add ALB routing weights in, and the case for CodeDeploy is kind of weak. My statement that ECS needs it was probably overzealous; for most situations it doesn't, and if there's some crazy functionality it does I'm not aware of, you'd probably need something else in k8s as well (e.g. istio).
This doesn't match with my experience. I have a single catchall *@my-domain.com address that will receive anything sent to the domain (without setting up separate accounts ahead of time).

You can also send from any address, but I agree that the UI is a bit hidden. You first choose from the from-address dropdown "*@my-domain.com", and then a new textbox appears where you can type what address to send from. As another commenter pointed out, if you are replying to an email it will automatically fill in the custom from-address, but you can overrule it.

For private notes & random images/files app I would suggest trying

https://joplinapp.org

But I use as private notes mainly, so can't say much on file storage side.

Multiple sync target (e.g. Dropbox, Nextcloud, OneDrive etc.) with E2EE.

But it's not polished so expect there might some strange limitations.
I've owned several acoustic guitar over the last 50 years and guitar tone changes over time, based on how much music it hears/makes. If you take a midrange guitar and put it on a stand near a speaker, and subject it to moderately loud music for days on end the sound _does_ change for the better. This is a commonly observed affect. Other guitarists have mentioned it to me.

Now maybe op didn't word the physics and material science precisely, but what they describe is real. Perhaps you have a better explanation for a commonly observed phenomena.
Smart and reasonable idea, but rarely resonate with anyone. Thus the curse of human ignorance.

Obviously* it's not printing money literally. But it's increasing the money supply. When governments deficit spend, they deposit money in private sector banks, increasing their balance sheet. The net result of this is more dollars in and flowing through the economy.

Which is... printing money, pretty much. The idea that it's some kind of moral failing or inherently irresponsible is silly, but the description isn't some crazy conspiracy theory.

* I'm sure some people have the idea that Jerome Powell is walking up to a printing press, turning a crank, and literally printing money. But I'm also pretty sure that no one here is under that misconception.
Interesting, I don't think I've noticed the same criticism for Brave. But many times when it has come up in discussions at work, people will say they don't want to use it and don't trust it because Brendan Eich is behind it. He donated money to Prop 8 in California many years ago (which at the time, was very popular. More than half the people in California supported it), and he was fired/cancelled for it (long before the term "cancel culture" was a thing). Unfortunately for Eich, the culture shifted radically during that time, and he became a target (see OkCupid[1]). IIRC it was like 7 or 8 or so years after Prop 8 that the news leaked, and like most Americans Eich had changed his mind on it. But it didn't/doesn't matter, he has been branded and is forever tainted.

And if done changes the tone of the instrument. Is not unknown amongst the acoustic guitar players that you can improve the tone by subjecting the instrument to recorded music for a _long_ time.
So sad. He was so young. Dave’s synths, along with those from Tom Oberheim, had an enormous impact on music in the 70s and 80s.
It depends what scheme you use to generate the addresses, for eg if you generate short XKCD style passwords and use those, then lots of those problems aren't an issue. Internally you then map those generated addresses to a single folder for each business.

Steep fines for “each” occurrence. You can most definitely deter all but the dumbest companies from trafficking in toxic data.

Are you going to buy shares in a company who’s entire worth is derived by it’s user data when it turns out that a significant but unknown amount of that user data is actually a very expensive liability?

There’s always going to be someone searching for loopholes, like anything, so keep it unambiguous and straightforward.

That's actually a really good point. The people with the power or perceived power are mostly the ones that advocate liberalism. If I have enough power and money I can create a dream world around me without giving a damn about everyone else. Whatever I want I can just buy. If things fall apart I can just build a fort around me.
I consider myself a centrist in this debate. I don't think "crypto" technology is one giant scam (though there is a lot of scamming taking place), and I don't think it has delivered on most of its promises either (I suspect this will change in time).

In your comment I read rhetoric that attempts to de-legitimize the other side by questioning if they are even authentic members of your community. Your comment is not "wrong" but it paints with a very broad brush (something I see a lot of crypto fans doing all the time). It certainly places you in one of two sincere-but-polarized political groups.

I wish more people would foster nuanced attitudes about topics such as this. It makes for more interesting discussion.

> "CEOs certainly don't care about prestige and esteem."

oh quite the opposite, even for psycho/sociopaths. it's really the core thing that humans care about, with everything else, even money (beyond subsistence), only being proxy metrics for it. people kill other people simply for damaging their (self-)image/reputation (the jilted lover being a classic example).

the point of this punishment is to strike right at the heart of what humans care most about by knocking them down a number of rungs on the status ladder (prison time alone doesn't do this, as they'll be just a rich and statused coming out and they were going in, though maybe a bit more humble/shameful). you don't necessarily need to make them poor, just relatively poorer than who they believe their peers are. but yes, the key to any of this is to raise the risk considerably, as you noted. no punishment can be effective without credible enforcement.
Are there any phone services that let you have multiple numbers so you could do something similar for phone stuff?
Creating a top tier school would be hard with a large pile of money, but would be a lot easier if you started with a large pile of money and Harvard.

This is an argument against the article. But the article's plan could be used as a threat. Use it or lose it, expand your enrollment substantially or we'll tax your endorsement away.

One comment on your website copy: consider changing “farm” to “grow crops” as it might confuse some people into thinking it has some kind of horrible FarmVille-like mechanic to the game.
This is how science is meant to work. Ideally? the mistakes wouldn't have happened. They do, so you correct it in public.

The problem is politics, and public policy outcomes. The problem is what AGW suffered in the hands of highly charged debates about veracity of data, where people who (this is my opinion and its accusative) were looking with bad faith, for evidence of bad faith, and found it.

So, I am sad they had to correct, and glad they did correct, and it doesn't alter science of excess mortality one bit to me, that it happened.

As to public policy over WHO and mortality stats, "Its too early to say". (which btw was about paris '68 and not earlier: Zhou Enlai was being asked in 1972 about events in 1968. Not events in 1789 or even 1871) -We won't know how the excess mortality concerns play out in health economics for some time.
The timing of macro events for millennials has just thrown a wrench in things repeatedly. Came into a horrible job market, finally doing well and this happens. I have a good manager, workload, and comp so I'm waiting it out - had just hoped to leave the renter life behind and have some more security.
Personally, yes I do, and I get lots of spam, but Thunderbird filters it out for me extremely well. The only downside is that it narrows my choice of email system - if all the spam came to my inbox it would be a pain.
The part of this document that you're quoting is talking about the limitations of land/sea based boost-phase interceptors. Scroll down to the Space-Based Interceptors section. I don't think there's much substance here.. It talks about kill vehicle size (see: LEAP), and mentions that coverage depends on the number of interceptors and the inclination of their orbits (no kidding.)
We people are stupid and keep repeating the same mistakes! Didn't we make billions of people obese because we put all fats in one bucket? Now, we're repeating the same mistakes with "masks"! A filthy soggy cloth breeding germs and not preventing any infection is a "mask" just like a kids' KF94/KN95 one!!! Even if it's certified mask - if it's not worn by the specs, it does extraordinarily little!

The COVID relief bills were actually a one-time exception to a 100 year old reality.

1) Congress directly modified the Federal Reserve's charter to give money directly to private persons.

2) There were also payments directly from the US Treasury.

3) There were also things that involved that traditional convoluted process of the Treasury selling more bonds to the international market and pretending not to know that the Federal Reserve is the biggest buyer showing up.

In this case, because of 1), we really did create several trillion out of thin air, from the Federal Reserve itself. Basically Congress always could, but didn't. Easiest way to accumulate dollars is to scare people into believing dollars won't be relevant.

Although the US otherwise doesn't simply dilute the money supply with direct issuances for nothing, opting to primarily create dollars in exchange for corporate bonds and treasuries, there is a market tolerance and demand enough for dollars to support a much greater level of it. Disclaimer: I'm not advocating for anything.
> But I'm also pretty sure that no one here is under that misconception.

I'm a little less sure every time I read one of these threads.
This comment highlights the most crucial insight on QE: it is a relatively novel monetary policy innovation that was implemented as an emergency response to the 2008 crisis on a very large scale and, as such, we had no experience using it. 14 years later, we’re finding out what it means for an economy to have the Federal Reserve buy a large amount of US debt.
Lots of me-too’s from folks using catch-all emails and/or “+” addressing, but surprised no one is mentioning unique hide my emails as available from iCloud, sneakemail, etc.
Immediately after realizing which term is which, I can't help but try to use them all in a sentence together, like "Those damn kids in Swith'eil Aerveid just sit around all day hooboo skramping and smoking their Karflon B43", which I think makes it even more clear how different the words "feel" from each other.

Good thought. Thank you. I suspect also failure to think it through, but your answer exculpates him at least a bit.
The cameras are mostly meant to give me warning of someone breaking in while I am home and give me situational awareness across the house in the event of an entry.

Notion has some good ideas but to me it's no Wave! Wave, to me, just felt very seamless and free-form/flexible, in terms of how you could go from chatting to planning to collaborative writing and editing.

Perhaps you'll see this if you get notified of replies: per your suggestion, we have now introduced a lower tier in between the free tier and the ~150/month tier.
And five years of gluing APIs together that help get more people to click advertisements - you'd be surprised how much math you forget. Machine learning can be better for exercising math, but most company's do not want anyone doing anything new. Same goes for physical sciences in my experience. You basically get a PhD to do associates level work. Even if you know a better way, that comes after you get ten yrs experience and have authority over projects. See the first sentence of this post for a catch 22. Bleh.
Do you have any nostalgic experience from the 90s that suggests it was ever better?
I've also had great success with a 16/8 fasting/eating window, usually noon to 8 PM, sometimes a smaller window if I'm not hungry. Makes me actually excited for lunch time. I combined this with taking the stairs instead of the elevator to get my heartrate up at least once per day. What a difference - less weight, more energy, and an easier time climbing stairs.

I also include carbonated water to help me reach my eating window if needed.
This is ostensibly the purpose of GDPR. Selling personal data is illegal unless the person opted in. It's opt-out by default.

The problem is that it's the internet... the law works for honest websites and companies but not for anyone else.

What do people use as an alternative to SQS? I've had Kafka mentioned a few times but that's way heavier/more complicated than I need. Just a simple queue is perfect, and SQS' API is gloriously simple.
QE isn't novel by any stretch, even in 2008. The Federal Reserve had a similar program back in 1930s around the Great Depression and the Bank of Japan has had a full-swing QE program since like 2001.
Why does this happen? Russia does not have the money to pay?
