lol no, US didn't have 30 trillion in debt last time and didn't have a peer competitor to offer an alternative currency like China. Eventually other countries are going to get tired of subsidizing poor US government decision making and move to something else. The US pulling financial stunts like they did with Russia is making even neutral and allied countries look for alternative or backup financial systems

US has to stop inflation which also makes their debt more expensive to manage. Worst case scenario is basically a death spiral. Best case is still vastly lowered living standard for US citizens.

our economy has been propped up by massive debt spending that hasn't been efficient at all. Productivity can't be faked using financial tricks, only innovation that boosts productivity matters

Leaving out this, while quoting other parts of it, from the linked New Indian Express article is rather disingenuous:

> The Kolkata-based Anthropological Survey of India (ANSI), which has, “of late”, expressed “disinclination” to proceed with the exercise to trace the genetic origins of early Indians because the issue is “politically loaded”, is also part of this project which was initially conceived in 2019. A budget of `10 crore has been earmarked for procuring the DNA profilers and the other related scientific gadgets, sources said.

So while the 'standard anthropology' part is most likely true, the manner in which science is being done in the India, I willing to bet:

a. The funding for the project is being provided under the pretext that the 'conclusions' of the 'study' would be in line with the agenda of the current administration

b. Regardless of the actual discovery made, the results would be spun to offer legitimacy to the cockeyed histories that the current administration likes to peddle.

Edit: a quick search for the Rakhigarhi Research Project (led by the person conducting this 'study') should tell you all you need to know about this 'Aryan-washing' exercise :

> I've had was very different, and boiled down to "here is a list of behaviors; if you do any of them or anything like any of them your ass is fired."

Yeah this is good in general but needs tempering through a bit of conflict resolution/appeal process built in. Discrimination issues can often just be the result of misinterpretations and blind spots people have, especially when bridging cultural divides. There's some stuff that crosses a clear red line, but most behaviors are subtle and often unintentional and the approach to dealing with them productively should more closely resemble relationship/marriage counseling or the sorts of reconciliation processes they do in post-conflict zones.

The ones I went to involved being told I needed to make "anti-casteism" part of my identity and pick arguments with my aunts and uncles when they make 'problematic' statements. And it then came with a side of misquotes of The Bhagavad Gita and selective quotations out of the Manusmriti to argue that simply identifying yourself as a Hindu is inherently discriminatory and violent towards lower castes. As a history major and religious studies minor in college I took issue with just about every historical and theological "fact" they brought up but didn't think it was worth arguing. But there was nothing particular to the organization we were in and no specific instances of issues reported internally by anyone so I had a hard time understanding why this was happening.

There's a particular historical narrative among certain political movements in India that depict Brahmins as basically collaborating to institute a conspiracy to to impose a caste hierarchy across all of Indian society for millennia. It's a very simplistic and one-sided reading of Indian history and Hindu philosophy, but it has gained a lot of traction within social justice/DEI spaces and particularly with groups that are more focused on pushing an ideological project.

It would be analogous to having a Louis Farrakhan disciple on to talk about being Muslim in the workplace. There are many better people to raise those issues who will bring them without the side of eliminationist rhetoric. It's one thing to meme about people with privilege or be dismissive in a casual context, but at the workplace (or really any public venue) that sort of talk is just mean. It's especially frustrating because this discrimination actually is a blight on Indian society (though most of the issues in the US are in the realm of microaggressions rather than structural or overt discrimination). But that doesn't excuse just peddling nonsense in response.
It’s only too cheap for these huge farms due to how corrupt and poorly thought out the water rights process was in the 1800s. The rural poor in CA already have water problems (e.g. Tulare county) and the urban poor already pay full freight.

I'll take a look at the article. If tuition and tax money aren't going into endowments, then I don't really have a problem. To date, whenever I would bring this topic up, it was pretty quickly shut down, which always gets my spidey sense going. The problem of increasing tuition costs is a whole topic in its own right but I think we are also on the verge of bursting the education bubble in general, so that will have an impact.
I’m eagerly looking forward to the logical pretzeling SCOTUS will engage in to pretend Congress can’t delegate regulating making authority to the EPA but it can do this for the FED.
Heh, I go out of my way to ride on ferries. If you have time to spare, the Alaska Marine Highway (a ferry) is a very pleasant trip. But a Vegas-like experience on a cruise ship sounds like hell to me. For each their own I guess.
Thanks for the great detail. You certainly have more background in radio part than myself.

> American CDMA was not competitve with internationally used GSM (well, no competition existed those days so America kept using it.)

I worked with Voicestream DCS-1900 in 1996 or so. Yes, it was a GSM network. But on a commercial base I would not call it competition. They were a tiny little niche player. All the big one use "American" standards, and their networks were much less advanced than the nation-wide GSM networks in Europe at the time.

Not being a radio engineer I am not 100% sure whether CDMA is really not such a good choice, but the commercially run networks certainly were significantly worse in my experience.

The idea of standardization is that you have a wide range if interoperable network and terminal implementations. That was not something desired in the US. You could not just buy the best phone and use it in any network. Don't remember how it was on the infra side, but I somewhat doubt that it was easy to mix and match various vendors in the same network.

Situation in the US started to change with T-Mobile and ATT using GSM, but that was many years later.

I remember when going to IT conferences in the US 2002 - 2007 nearly all locals had feature phones. When I used my smartphone (SymbianOS of course at the time) they told me that's a completely useless gadget, all they wanted to do is make voice calls. Of course around 2010 things had changed completely.
If you look at the changes in the privacy policy, and as others had brought up before, this ban was warranted. There was a lot of data collection happening that wasn't disclosed.
They need to stop government-backed student loans if they are to forgive existing ones. Otherwise the problem will never stop.

Once loans aren't available, tuitions will drop like a rock and the system will get much fairer.
Northrop Grumman | Multiple Software & Hardware Engineering Roles | Full-Time (Some Part-Time) | All 50 U.S. States | https://www.northropgrumman.com/careers/

Hi everyone, my name is Rich and I'm a SWE in the Space Systems sector within Northrop - not a recruiter or in HR. We have teams across the U.S. that work on some really interesting projects. For example, did you know Northrop Grumman was a prime contractor for the James Webb Space Telescope? We designed & developed the sun shield and also integrated the final spacecraft build. Check it out: https://www.northropgrumman.com/space/james-webb-space-teles...

A lot of positions require a security clearance of course but there are a lot that don't so you can definitely find something that fits what you'd like/want to do. Can honestly say that I've personally learned a lot working here and had the chance to take training classes led by brilliant engineers. We have jobs for all ranges of experience - from new grads to seasoned professionals.

I'm a longtime reader/lurker here on HN and would be happy to talk to anyone interested in working for NG. Feel free to reply with your contact info and I'll reach out as soon as I can.

Full disclosure: some jobs here have referral bonuses so it would help me & my growing family out if I got to refer some great talent for a role. New baby due in a few months! :) So if you see a job you match up with and feel like helping out a future co-worker, ping me about the position and let me give you a referral before you apply yourself. Don't have to, just if you're feeling nice I guess.

"My car constantly consumes oil at a prodigious rate even if I only drive it to the grocery store occasionally."

"Even if it's just sitting in your garage? Does... does that make it go faster or further?"

"No, even if my car suddenly starts consuming a lot of additional oil out of the blue, I still can't drive it any faster or further than I could before. The maximum distance I can drive it in a week is a fixed distance regardless of how much gasoline I pump into this bad boy."

"..."

"Anyway, this should probably be the future of transportation."

The reasonable conclusion here is not, "when you think about it, driving my car has no environmental impact". The reasonable conclusion is, "holy heck, why would you design a car that way?"

Yup - the growth the past 2 years has been great. Up 33%!

Over the past 5 years, 70% growth.

Looking at short timelines doesn't tell you much. There's some fear in the investment world, but the market is not "the economy." It's more of an indicator of what's going on in the minds of investors. They might think we're already in a recession, or are heading towards one, that doesn't make it so.
It's worth pointing out that the app seems genuinely to have been in violation of the Play Store Malware policy (see the "Spyware" section at https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ...)

The nature of email clients, especially ones that integrate with cloud-hosted spam and filtering services, is that they're naturally going to have trouble with that policy absent great care with specifying exactly what gets collected. The "fix" here seems to have been to update their policy documentation to describe exactly that.

All of those things are directly attributable to miles on the car. More miles means more repairs, more frequent oil changes, faster depreciation of your purchase price etc. On the other hand, number of transactions is purely a function of block size and transaction size (which again has no influence on energy usage).

The article doesn't go into how to integrate TypeScript in the monorepo for development - what we do on the Yarn repository is that we point all the package.json `main` fields to the TypeScript sources, then use `publishConfig.main` to update it to the JS artifacts right before being published.

This way, we can use babel-node or ts-node to transparently run our TS files, no transpilation needed.
People don't seem to understand that an increase in productivity can result in a concentration of economic activity. Remember group assignments in school? It is often easier to just do the entire work yourself to avoid the cost of coordination. One guy is then doing 80% of the work. The problems start, when it is about paid work. If one very productive guy gets to do the work of five, the employer is going to fire the other four. The government borrows money, so that the unspent savings of the over productive saver are used (oversimplification, saved money is dead and newly borrowed money replenishes the loss) to create jobs for the other four. Our inability to share work forces us to grow the economy to keep everyone busy at work.

I am puzzled how the people of Vancouver (nevermind visitors) are meant to use "šxʷƛ̓exən Xwtl’a7shn" or "šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk". I mean, if you see things like "Musqueam", "Squamish" and "Tsleil-Waututh", you can muddle through as you learn the sounds. But if you see (the equivalent) "xʷməθkʷəy̓əm", "Sḵwx̱wú7mesh" or "sə̓lílwətaʔɬ", where do you even begin? Yet the official link above, while it helpfully gives both representations of the names of the peoples, makes no effort to do so for the new place names. That strongly suggests any signage will only use the unapproachable version.

Three years of no maintenance in the 40s.

> The hotels and chalets were closed for three seasons during World War II. The hotels recovered from the lack of use and upkeep, but most of the chalets suffered irreparable damage. The only two remaining chalets, Sperry and Granite Park, continued to operate, offering overnight accommodations.

As to the weather... I'm going to point out that we're in June now and https://www.nps.gov/applications/glac/roadstatus/roadstatus.... is the current road status.

> Spring plowing has begun. On the west side, the hiker/biker closure is at Logan Creek comfort station, approximately 3 miles past the vehicle closure when road crew is working and at The Loop when the road crew is not working.

Last year, the road was plowed and opened June 27th. https://www.ktvq.com/glacier-national-parks-iconic-road-now-...

> Going-to-the-Sun Chalets stock had dropped considerably among Great Northern executives by the start of World War II. The structures had taken a beating from 30 years of harsh Montana winters. They required endless maintenance and repairs, and weren't considered even remotely historic or significant at the time. Unfortunately the designs were viewed as tired and obsolete in 1940. It was comparable to the way we would view an aging motel built during the 1970s: Very few people would clamor for preservation.

> As troublesome as the chalet complex was in the early 1940s, there were still a few in management who pointed to growth and profit in the recent past, but all that did was stave off demolition for a couple years. The Going-to-the-Sun Chalets stood empty after the war, and were ultimately razed in 1948. Sun Point has been returned to a (sort of) natural state; it takes an archaeologist's eye to recognize the traces of the Chalets.

I'm heavily critical of the police, and they deserve a lot of criticism. But there are lot's of people (half my family) that are just scum. Algorithmically it may be hard to fairly weight, but on a personal level it's not hard to put people on a pretty consistent scum spectrum. If the people lower on the spectrum are critical of a certain cop, I can't weight it highly for reputation evaluation of that cop. The same for any information said scumbag provides about others.
Between the housing crisis and COVID-19 the Fed never really pulled back, interest rates stayed at almost zero. As a result the economy was overinflated going right into covid and then we had the unusual economic steps during covid and now an enormously larger amount of money in the economy that can only get sucked out with high fed rates or by being inflated away (and can't be justified with growth because actual growth isn't happening anywhere remotely near where the supply of money has grown)
I suspect your local credit union doesn't have 4 million accounts like Varo.
> How a cop treats someone they view as a "scumbag" is a lot more illustrative and important than how they treat those they view as "upstanding people."

I absolutely agree, but the point was not that it doesn’t matter how cops treat “scumbags”, but that you can’t trust some people’s word on what they experienced. I think it is certain that there exist both cops who lie and non-cops who lie, so we need some way to filter out the signal from the noise.
Of course the better lens in this case has really narrow depth of field, so you get a very smooth background in basically all situations. This helps a lot.

It took multiple days to resolve the phishing false positive and restore the domain, if it had been our main domain it would have a major emergency at work.
