I thought that the reason for banning outside cigarette lighters was that the TSA folk could not distinguish a lighter with "improved/better" fuel from one with ordinary fuel.
In Japan every bike is officially registered and has a sticker with a number (think of it as a license number that has to be read closely). Foreigners are stopped by the police fairly often in Japan to check their bike licenses according to reports in /r/japanlife.
StreamDeck can be useful in some surprising environments. I've got some custom scripting I'm selling to doctors which helps with common actions in practice software. Things like marking pathology results normal/abnormal/nurse-to-advise, creating a specific referral from a template, or going through a full vaccination record flow (that's 1-2min real time saving per person). It's great :-) (an example config screen https://automate-med.viraptor.info/assets/images/pathology.p... )

> My concern would be that we might be unable to distinguish useful genetic adaptations from disease. How do we actually make these decisions? Examine the DNA and then look for SNPs of concern? Is that a perfect process, or one dominated by statistics? How likely is it that this method will arrive at the expected goal?

For a good example of where this can wrong and have unintended side effects, look at the babies that had their genetics edited with CRISPR by He Jiankui. Their genes were edited to make them less susceptible to HIV, yet that genetic modification has biological consequences[1][2] outside of preventing HIV, as the edited gene coded for a receptor protein on cells.

Many factors were overlooked when doing the gene editing[2], and the kids' genes were edited both incorrectly and not optimally. The edits also affect their germline, meaning that their future kids could potentially inherit similar genetic errors.

As a result, the HIV susceptibility "benefit" might not actually be so beneficial, and even if it was, there are strains of HIV that don't use that receptor protein as vector for infection, as well. Research has even suggested that they might be more susceptible to HIV, now, and that their particular mutations could result in shorter lifespans than people without the mutations.

I wouldn't feel too well about having my genome botched for profit before I was even born, learning that I have an outdated version of an edited gene that might kill me, and being told that my kids would potentially inherit some alpha version of a gene that doesn't even work right. The same feelings would apply to lab selected natural mutations, as well.

I think we're at a stage where we do not have a complete, or even satisfactory, understanding of our genome and biology, and the same goes for both our understanding of gene editing and selection, and their consequences. For example, we have a very primitive understanding of how the brain works, and editing, or selecting, genes that are expressed in the nervous system could have serious deleterious effects, which is something that is hypothesized to have accidentally happened with the CRISPR twins[3].

For me there was a huge divide between those who were supplying Smalltalk and worked that side of the fence, and the customers who were trying to solve problems. I saw that as why Smalltalk lost to simpler/arguably stupider tech like Java.

I have sometimes pondered whether to try making a system that kind of rhymed with Smalltalk, but using Roslyn[0] instead. Although I envisage it as being a kind of playground where you code like Smalltalk, with the artifacts being produced as conventional class files and whatnot so the final build could be done with the normal command line tools.

> Famine relief, missionary and other charities do have reliable and nutritious recipes for baby formula alternatives that can be made in bush conditions and over open fires in metal pots.

Please, please, please, cite your source on this. I have a really hard time believing this as simple as "this one trick from Africa". I believe what you're referring to is literally infant formula. You're simply describing the process of sanitizing water then mixing in standard, powdered infant formula.

The introduction of formula to impoverished regions was extremely controversial. As mother's used formula, their milk production decreased. This forced them into a dependency on formula manufacturers or milk-donors (wet-nurses, milk-banks, etc). This would not be a problem if there were viable solutions.

Whiteboard interview has nothing to do with coding proficiency. Writing pseudo code of an algorithm by hand does not tell you much at all about how proficient somebody is as a coder.

Coding is the act of writing code, not ideating an algorithmic solution. Its almost completely orthogonal to computer science problem solving.

The principles of high quality code (from a design perspective) are also completely orthogonal to runtime complexity of an algorithm.

> Most developers would have no problem building two apartment buildings right next to each other, on every foot of available space, with no parking, selling everything, and then never giving their futures a second thought.

So what's going on with the developer's counterparty in this transaction? I'd be happy to buy a property without parking because I don't drive a car and I find that all the extra asphalt in a neighborhood dedicated to cars actively makes it worse.

I'll grant that removing any parking requirement creates short-term chaos in places where developers under-judge the amount of parking necessary, but I also think that people systematically over-estimate how much parking a place actually needs, and that over-building parking necessarily induces demand for cars because it forces the built environment to become spread out and less walkable. I also think that if the right incentive structures are in place that it's a problem that sorts itself out in fairly short order. In this case if you build a dense housing development with very little parking and no nearby shops then a grocery store on the corner is pretty much risk-free profit since you have a large customer base in close proximity with no competition selling essential goods. If you strip out parking requirements and zoning then you also clear out a lot of the red tape that makes such store difficult or outright illegal to build.

> Zoning exists precisely because all building parties involved in are absolutely mercenary, and yet the city has to deal with the mess in the subsequent decades.

> The entire parking requirement was created because previously developers had overburden street spaces without care.

Zoning is precisely what created communities that have such hopelessly ingrained car dependence and therefore demand huge amounts of dedicated asphalt just for basic transportation.

The "streetcar suburbs" in North America, which were built before modern zoning and before car ownership became an explicit assumption of developmental policy, are still in high demand even with the streetcars ripped out because the lower setback requirements, reduced/nonexistent driveway space, narrower streets, and corner shops make it a more livable and friendly environment.

>I've seen repeated by CFAs -- velocity of money is linked to inflation

It can be, as increased demand can increase the velocity of money, but it's not directly or intrinsically connected (as you can also just suddenly trade something back and forth many times without prices changing and the velocity would have increased).

Really, it's demand/supply which determine prices.

Ultimately, every asset class, including money, is something people can choose to migrate to or away from according to their ability to trade it for another asset. And with a money, the promise is that you can exchange it for anything else; so if everyone has more money they have more agency to trade for goods and services of all types. The problem is twofold:

1. Without an intervention you get the sharp shock of exuberance and crash; this behavior defined 19th century economies and eventually the 1930's depression and its following war that motivated adoption of Keynesian interventionist policy. Economic theory in the academy today is routinely defined in "post-war" terms, as if the preceding centuries did not exist, outside of researchers who make it their speciality.

2. With interventions, you introduce some form of market distortion no matter which way you frame it. The original Keynesian experiment approached a crisis in the late 1960's, because it pushed for fiscal interventions(government spending) which soaked up demand that would have gone to other sectors; when you do this, the other sectors experience rising prices, resulting in the stagflation that defined the 1970's. The transition into the Reagan era(a gradual series of shifts that mostly occurred in the 70's, marked finally with Paul Volker's new Fed policy) marked the shift towards a "lean and mean" neoliberalist approach with rising inequality, as you note: instead of trying to expand the economy through fiscal policy, we began the monetary-focused regime that has lasted up until now, of tuning inflation rates through fiat policy with a focus on allowing capital to redeploy itself wherever it saw fit. This era created a pretty harsh recession, but it did motivate growth again. But inequality eventually drags down an economy by a similar mechanism of "borrowing demand" from consumers and giving it over to capital, and since the strategy is to stimulate with low interest rates as necessary, and regulatory capture has favored keeping the good times a-flowing, we've used it more and more since 2008, until we've ended up in another stagflation crisis marked by our successively larger and larger asset bubbles. Eventually the chickens come home to roost and the resulting asset speculation carries over into consumer prices.

And that's the kind of crisis that existentially threatens the dollar, because if even consumer staples are holding their value better, there is no reason to hold a dollar position, and therefore to trade and be taxed in it. The bet we are making by holding dollars is not really that this can be fixed in any permanent way, but that it can at least hold out for another cycle of growth. And that leads to the headline: pushing up unemployment is one way to suppress dollar demand. It's more palatable than having a war to reallocate assets, at least.
The prevailing consensus is that interest rates and inflation are inversely correlated, so "negative interest rates worked out fine" isn't a rebuttal to that.
