Yes, fiscal factors and excess labor supply will keep inflation constrained. But to say higher interest rates lead to higher inflation is simply wrong as evidenced by a huge wealth of history/data.

Every country that has tried to combat inflation with lower rates has led to an inflationary spiral.

In a perfect world inflation would be controlled primarily via fiscal policy, but this is non-viable in the US political system. E.g. despite the Democrats being savaged in the polls due to inflation, they have yet to actually propose any package to help address inflation. Instead they just tried to convince people that BBB was inflation fighting, when in reality it's structured as a highly inflationary set of legislation.

The Fed can't be as targeted as fiscal policy can, so their mechanism to combat inflation naturally leads to recessions. Fiscal could be much more targeted, e.g. temporary taxes on discretionary goods etc.

It just so happens to be that sensible policy to curb inflation would also be highly unpopular to most

This is how many "tech" companies that sell advertising services promote their websites. Like a lottery. They do not have to pay out to every person who submits user-generated content,1 but if they pay out to a small number they can use those examples, "winners", to draw others in.

Ideally the "tech" company only wants a limited number of "viral" pages so as to maximise the reach of advertising via those pages. Even if there are 10,000 pages serving white noise, the "tech" company may actively funnel visitors to only a small number, creating ideal conditions for maximum advertising reach.2 (And probably excluding many interesting pages as a result.3) As alluded to in the parent comment, most pages will get too little traffic to generate significant advertising reach and will not pay out "$18K a month".

1. As with lotteries, there are odds. But unlike lotteries, there is no requirement to publish them. Moreover, the "lottery" here is non-transparent. Traffic could be manipulated by the "tech" company behind-the-scenes and the public would never know the details.

2. Of course, the company can claim it does not actively manipulate traffic, e.g., through search and/or "recommendations", but rather computers do, through "algorithms", "AI", "magic" or whatever euphemism they choose for the decision-making and computer programming that their employees perform.

3. Anecdote: Some of the best YouTube and SoundCloud pages I have found, by accessing these websites without using a popular web browser, have very low view numbers. Friends are often intrigued with how I found them. It appears others are getting funneled to the viral crap.
In the mid-term, the replacement of typewriters with computers led to the secretary's job description going away (phone answering machines helped too). Somewhere I read (warning: this may be apocryphal) that secretaries were exactly one of the reasons Xerox never cashed in on the personal computer (or the Xerox Star): Xerox managers had secretaries to do their typing, and couldn't imagine doing it themselves; nor could they imagine giving their secretary a piece of hardware that cost as much as the secretary's yearly salary. (The Xerox Star cost somewhere in the range of $15k, I'm just guessing what a secretary's salary was back then. And never mind that factory laborers used machinery that cost at least that much.)

Same, there were a number of GitHub like services you could self host but gitea stood out to me as the easiest to install and maintain. A lot of the other options I looked at required multiple daemons, a full database, etc. Gitea can use a full database but works great with SQLite also.

Thanks for the hint. It seems the additional data is not available from the ACM site. Was really the source code of the whole environment including the Mimosa compiler on the CD? Do you know anyone who has access to it? I might be interested (if feasible) to migrate and run it on contemporary operating systems.

You're saying it's "absolutely not" compensated, and then you enumerating just some of the ways it's compensated?

I'm confused.

I didn't say it was fully compensated. Of course it's not.

But why should you have children, and expect "someone else" to pay for everything?

Nothing else in life works like that.

But yes, I've heard of the German child benefits, and tax rules for married couples, that are not optimal for an equal and fair society.

You say the compensation is "not enough". What would be? That "someone else" pays for the entire cost of your child? Why stop there? Why not demand salary from the government for choosing to raise a child?
I think the relevant rule is section 4.5.4 of the App Store Review Guidelines:

> 4.5.4 Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used to send sensitive personal or confidential information. Push Notifications should not be used for promotions or direct marketing purposes unless customers have explicitly opted in to receive them via consent language displayed in your app’s UI, and you provide a method in your app for a user to opt out from receiving such messages. Abuse of these services may result in revocation of your privileges.

https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

So the language is weaker, but it should still be possible to disable marketing notifications.

(Edit to add: and I report apps that don't provide that option, citing the above. So far, doing so hasn't achieved anything though.)
I'll be honest, I find most of the stuff from that group to be a bit vapid and typically doesn't reflect deep familiarity with the background literature. As an example, the author offhandedly proposes a just-so story about why Rome collapsed. If we go to our trusty 210 reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire [1] (compiled by a historian frustrated that everyone and their pet had different, often contradictory explanations), we see that "depletion of mineral resources" is #53. So why #53 as opposed to #191, or #67, or #3? Similarly, there are entire fields of studies about how complex systems evolve created since Forrester's work, yet the headline here is all about how complex systems aren't resilient (which flies in the face of most observation and literature).

Ask HN: Heuristics on Designing a Product from a Technology?
I'm building a tool that solves a problem, worth solving.
I've established communication with some investors, and some are willing to invest.

The conversation though is paused at the question: "Would you invest in this?".
The answer I get is "Yes, I see the technology but I can't see the product and I'd invest in a product".

Any generic tips and thoughts on how to go from "that's a useful tool" to "that's a product"?

Sorry, I can't disclose too many details.
I'd imagine if the energy output ends up being worth it they could manufacture the turbines from some sort of plastic or composite that doesn't corrode in sea water.
Nobody is using a phone that is larger than a human's vertical field of view at arms length. Even otherwise, human vision is based on eye movements and a complex form of visual integration. Your desire to mock others is entirely your free choice, but nothing you said is "sensible".
Other commenters have done a fine job expressing why this napkin math is silly and perhaps in isolated cases this is a good thing, OP probably learned something here

But in aggregate these sorts of comments are annoying as hell on every medical article posted to HN. Now you have to hope a sufficient mass of well-informed commenters is here to rebut them. In the best-case, these comments are simply misguided, but in the worst case it becomes a watering hole for all the antivaxxers and conspiracy theorists on this site to gather

Well, this is probably smaller than the companies you're thinking of, but my wife's retail store (two owners, just her and her business partner, 0 employees) use LibreOffice. They aren't trying to do any fancy graphing. For basic word processing and spreadsheet calculations, it works fine. It can produce some graphs, but I think in this area it is not as good as Excel (although I haven't used Excel in a while). Not too much of a training load, if they've used other office suites.

I don't really think there's anything I know of (that a normal small company would use especially) in which LibreOffice will not be as good or better than Google Suite, so if that's what your current office suite is then the transition should not be too painful. Googling for the answer works for most questions.
Many people think it is - but the realitiy is that it depends a lot on the system one is working on, can be super tricky, and often relying on it will cause some pain points later on.

e.g. let's take the example of an init system starting up all processes. Now what happens if a if one of the processes crashes and gets restarted by a processmanager? Now the order already changed, and e.g. a former process which relied on the restarted one might work based on outdated data. Similar things can also happen on other layers - e.g. one of the services in a dependency chain might disappear and reappear.

Another example is a developer/administrator manually changing the config of a certain service and restarting it to take effect - that could also trigger dependency problems.

Now those are absolutely solvable - either by making sure all services operate gracefully with any startup order or by other mitigations (e.g. "always reboot the full box"). But like everything else in the list, it still is a problem that is observed in very often in distributed systems.
Not a personal choice, though.

It's not my choice to need care when I get old.
The site tbh looks awfully similar to github. Can this be like a reason for a lawsuit, if github had a bad day?
Elden Ring isn't going to be a standalone game. The publisher (Bandai Namco) says it's the start of a franchise, which fans are almost certain to lap up for a long time to come. Had Elden Ring included microtransactions or other questionable features, it's likely fans would be far less enthusiastic about future installments, which means revenue from the franchise would dry up faster.

I'm surprised this hasn't been studied until now.

I noticed that pequin peppers, as an example, have a fiery "snap" that dissipates almost as fast as it comes on. Since then, I noticed a lot of variation in the heat experience among different peppers, and not just in strength. Some that don't feel so hot in the mouth still raise the body temperature quite noticeably. Some have this soothing sort of warmth that takes over and persists, but without making you sweat too much. Scotch Bonnet and a few like it can make the roof of my mouth or my jaw ache. Etc.

Until now, I had no idea it was because there are so many different capsaicinoids.
What the article doesn't mention is that the Israelites are not much different from philistines either. They used the same language (a variant of Canaanite language that later would become Aramaic), had the same gods (as is attested even by the bible), and shared/fought for the same areas. The Israelite group only diverged from the general population of Canaan much later, after their leaders came back from Persia and founded the classical version of the judaic culture and religion in Jerusalem.
There are plenty of games that helped me become a better programmer, but none of them were programming games. You can choose games you enjoy that are open to modding and have your fun programming mods.
BART goes plenty of nice places! If you get out at 16th or 24th, Valencia St one block over has lots of nice shops and bars. Head over to Folsom and 24th for lots of cheap shopping in what is like a little Mexico. Go see a show at New Mission / Alamo and get your lunch delivered to your seat while you watch a movie. Or make a reservation at Foreign Cinema and have a fancy dinner in a former theater.

Get out at Glen Park and and there's a the quaint Glen Park Village.

Get out at Balboa Park and head over a few blocks up Ocean for another neighborhood row of shops.

Or get on Muni Metro and take the KLM to West Portal. Or keep riding to Stonestown and do your shopping at Target, Wholefoods, or TJs, then go see a movie at the Regal.

Hop on the N and ride all the way out to La Playa and get yourself a cup of coffee and a sandwich at Java Beach. Then walk around the Sunset and see just how sleepy the western side is!
I think these free to play might be more of just 'pick your own price'. That way they get people that wouldn't pay 60$ for a mobile game and also people that would pay 1000$ for a game.

While I personally don't like it, because it feels like I'm getting an unfinished game if I don't spend a lot, I'm sure that there are many that enjoy this model and don't mind it at all.

And at the end of the day, these people that spend more money are actually the ones that feed the developers~

As an European, this is nothing really surprising here to me. The entire western economies, including EU and the Nordics, thrive on exploiting desperate immigrants, especially in low wage jobs that the locals don't want to do.

That's why there's a lot of push from governments for open borders, visa free, easy-emmigration, inviting refugees and migrants, etc. to further drive down local wages and increase demand for real estate, both of which benefit the old money entrenched wealth, business and asset owning class, especially in Europe where this class is a lot bigger and richer than in the US, relative to the wage class. We're basically setting up for Feudalism 2.0 Enhanced Edition.

So all the fancy workers' rights the EU/Nordics are famous for on paper, go out the window when you're a migrant worker on a visa with strings attached, and you find yourself at the mercy of unscrupulous business owners who are experts at skirting employment laws in just the right ways to stay legit, plus the government institutions responsible for regulating this, who know about these practices but turn a blind eye, as instructed by business lobby groups so "the economy can function" (you want your cheap meant, no? or the cheap strawberries? or cheap asparagus?).

I wish we could stop this but it seems like consumers only care about worker abuse until it impacts their wallets and realize they need to pay more for the stuff they've been conditioned to get for cheap their whole lives.
Many Colleges Fail to Improve Critical-Thinking Skills (2017)
I totally agree it's not always easy. But again I think with something like this it's about savvy communication rather than enforcement. How do you articulate a challenge to a designer that respects their role in the process? Contrast is easy, there's defined standards you can defer to. But for sure, it gets tricky where it's just a difference of opinion or priorities.

Regardless, just going ahead and changing the design is probably the nuclear option. It's only going to start a war. Put the shoe on the other foot: consider same designer dropping a 2008 era jQuery snippet into your carefully constructed page to resolve an issue in the build. Not fun for anyone.

Edit: I should add, I'm basing all of this on personal experience. Appreciate some situations just suck and you have to get on with it.
Every time I check my mail (which is about once a week), I have about of pound of paper to recycle. These are all things like catalogs from places I've ordered, charities I've donated to, "you used your security key to log into Vanguard!", and things like this. It's all junk to me. I shop online, so don't need a paper catalog. I'm well aware of the charities I donate to and have a recurring donation setup. I was there when I logged in with my security key.

But yeah, pre-approved credit card offers are gone, which is nice.

I have a few friends who work in restaurants (not Michelin-starred ones), and something I found peculiar is that pretty much all of them seem to be using hard drugs and consume excessive amounts of alcohol on the regular. A look through some places on the web where kitchenworkers exchange stories, such as /r/kitchenconfidential, confirmed to me that this is not a local phenomenon.
Lets say you want to contribute to military theory, you feel like you have some good ideas, but you think tactics means the broad goals you mean to obtain with your 'strategy', which is your low-level techniques you used to achieve these goals. How seriously do you think people in military circles would take you? How seriously do you think they should take you?

That's what the rationalist thing is, more or less. I think you can probably argue that the military guys should take you seriously because you have lots of clever ideas, but you can probably also understand it's kinda ridiculous and bonkers.
The human brain is also finite, so even a true infinite random sequence would give the listener finitely many states.

So it doesn't matter whether a sequence is finite or not.
That's an interesting way to respond, given the context. NodeJS doesn't run on the frontend, so your argument here would be an even _stronger_ reason to favor using Chrome as your runtime...
A big factor is age.

When I was a poor college student, I would eat ramen noodles every day (every meal) during the weeks leading up to midterms or finals. I don't remember suffering any ill effects at the time. When you're in your 20s, and if you're fairly healthy, you can abuse your body in all kinds of ways with almost no consequences.

Now that I'm much older, I can't do it anymore. The sodium and carbs do a number on my blood pressure.

That said, the creator of instant ramen (Momofuku Ando) claimed to have eaten 1 ramen a day almost all of his adult life and he lived till the age of 96. I guess some people just have good genes.
I think this comment is perhaps evidence that we can all read whatever we choose into any sentence.
That's why I don't play these games. But other people have different preferences and that's okay by me. I don't see a need to judge the company(ies), the users, or the system. Not saying you are, but it seems to be the flavor of this article and much of the sentiment in these comments. Why?
Environment and expectation play such a large role in psychedelic experience that placebo-controlled studies are not well-suited to measuring their effects. For instance, there's a huge experiential difference between hearing "you just ingested LSD" and "there's a 50% chance you just ingested LSD," and the resulting mindset (e.g. constantly wondering if you're in the control group) almost definitely affects the outcome.
I'd say it has more to do with human vision which cover a wider horizontal angle than vertical.

The medium (film) maybe adapted to how we see. Nowadays it might be adapting to how we hold the thing we see through.

This is a really hard problem. It's surely possible (maybe even probable) that these people who adamantly self report a benefit are a self-selected sub-sample of the wider population who largely would have no benefit.

Nootropics, and many nutritional supplements generally, have the same problem.

It's best to do both as security isn't something delivered by a single solution. After all it's not like protocols such as RDP and SSH have been found to be infallible over the years, they've had side-channels, vulnerabilities detectable by scanning, and other weaknesses regardless whether your password was theoretically impossible to brute force when you made it.

You never reach the point "I'm secure" you simply reach the point "adding more security measures costs more than the risk it removes".
That's very subjective. Some would say wokeism threatens progress, others say anti-wokeism ghreatens progress because wokeism IS progress. Anti-science is just saying that the other side disagreees with some science that is incovnvenient to them (both sides). I would say they didn't get that one right. They didn't predict today's divisiveness.

Ah, another victim of the nonsense "rule" against infinitive splitting. It gets somewhat clearer if you rewrite both occurrences of "consciously to think" to "to consciously think".

The other part is the "there is something that it's like to" thing, which is kind of a set phrase/idiom in philosophy, meaning "this is a thing that can be experienced". Sentience is often defined that way: there is something, even if you can't describe it any more precisely, that is "this is what it's like to be a human", but not "this is what it's like to be a rock".

(This comment is intended as an explanation of that mess of a sentence, not a defense of it.)

I wouldn't consider this cheating, I would rather call this preparation. Is looking at question banks before an exam considered cheating? I think this is in the same vein. Interviewers are people too, everyone knows there is a finite, albeit large, pool of questions to ask. If I ever see a candidate that has prepared to the point that he/she can code up the answer to the majority of leetcode style questions, I'd hire them without hesitation.
Excuse me, what is that "woke" thing everybody is talking about, and nobody seem to be able to tell what it is?
