This is not what is going to happen.

The government is likely to be locked up pretty hard if the Republicans take either the House or the Senate in the fall, and while we might not see hard austerity, we certainly won't see any stimulus.

Meanwhile, the Fed has been talking consistently very tough on inflation and is bumping 0.50 basis points every meeting and signalling that they'll do that until inflation is contained. They're talking positively about Paul Volker and keeping rates significantly above what is considered to be neutral.

And what they're worried about is the broad wage increases that are being seen (and the whole backlash against shitty jobs and pay and unionization drives).

They absolutely will raise rates this time pretty fast -- much faster than the 0.25 basis point tightening and calming reassurances every meeting under Greenspan. They're talking tougher than I've seen them ever talk in the 21st Century.

If you believe the economy is a huge bubble, they're talking like they're going to pop it. And they always overshoot and they're talking and looking like they're going to overshoot. That means that meaningfully large areas of the economy are likely to detonate (probably CMBS). Crypto will also probably melt down.

And with a Republican congress and a Democratic President the thing to worry about is that if the system needs rescuing that a chunk of the Republicans may be happy to watch it burn and blame it on Biden. Of course that will hurt them, too, but they may realize too late that the Leopards will also eat their face as well.

They're going to proceed with waging class war and crash the economy into an iceberg to get wages back under control. And everyone who is screaming at them about inflation is going to cheer them on to do it. Then when the economy hits the wall the people who would put out the fire are going to be paralyzed into inaction.

This time it is actually different because the Boomers are retiring, COVID and long COVID has taken people out of the workforce, the pandemic itself has made people very uppity and demanding and there's a huge overhang of jobs compared to job-seekers and we're seeing wage inflation. That's novel compared to the past 30+ years. And they're pretty much freaking out over it. And there's no political pushback, they have a blank check right now politically to get inflation under control. When I try to suggest that a wage-price inflation cycle would be useful to reprice debt and assets like housing people and that "stagflation" is the less-painful path to repricing people act like I should be locked up in the loony bin. QED, the Fed currently has a single political mandate to get inflation under control. We're gonna see deflation. Yield curve is going to be pushed into inverting until something breaks.

Actually, wood also has antibacterial properties which make it more hygienic than plastic for example. Probably not more than stainless steel though.

LOL this is very highly dependent on where you are. The values around "showiness" that you describe are largely New England and Upper Midwest. Go to Miami or Dallas or Los Angeles and the situation is 180 degrees opposite, with people leveraged out their ass with credit card debt to fund a car that they can't afford.
Okay, but if you reduced or eliminated one of the risks, doesn’t the food still have the same value as before? It seems like the risk is something like a cost, to be optimized away if you can without reducing value. And it isn’t the only cost.
I have benchmarked x86 on ARM Linux VM with Rosetta, and while Geekbench 5 shows similar performance between ARM and x86 version (for both single and multi core), this does not translate to the actual real world use cases.

When benchmarking x86 and ARM containers, our application seems to be around ~5x slower with x86-rosetta, and similarly can be observed for mysql-server or just doing `apt install`.

This is still significantly better than using qemu emulation, but it's not really usable in our case.

I've also encountered segmentation faults when running x86 `npm` inside Docker, so couldn't even install packages, but didn't dig further as to what's the cause.

(Note: I've created a simple macOS app using Virtualization framework, enabled Rosetta, and loaded Ubuntu Focal. I've installed the latest version of Docker, which automatically used `rosetta` when encountering x86 executables. Maybe this setup is not ideal.)
If it was the exactly same thing it would have been called Linux :)

You can bend the experience the way you like, you don't have to use it as-is. For example, homebrew can take care of the few of the complaints here.

By the way, I thought that apps stopping working randomly was a Linux feature? Then you dive in to to fix it, not really an experience I miss.

Also, hunting down software for Ubuntu 14.04 or 18.04 because something that works for one doesn't work for the other is a Linux experience. Often you don't have software that simply works on "Linux", you need to find it for specific distro and even specific distro version or compile it from source. The compiling from source often means you need to install the tooling and libraries for that specific version. Then you will have distro and version specific instructions to install, configure and run the thing.

Linux is a horrible experience for people who see their computer as tools and don't really like to manage it and want to spend their energy on using that tool to do other things(like designing apps, studying some data, making videos etc).

Anyway, it boils down to your preferences.
Of course he is. I mean, I hadn't checked, but I assumed that someone who writes like that has an interest.

That’s far too late. You have to say it, with authority, at the first sentence that doesn’t add to your understanding.
Consider a brick and mortar shop doing an A/B test on which poster brings more people into the shop: one of an ice cream, or one of a roaring fireplace.

It doesn't matter how randomly you divide your A and B groups, if you run your test in summer, you'll get different results to running it in winter.
I don't have specific knowledge of why it fizzled, but my default guess is that the authors wrote the paper up as a proposal, but then didn't follow up with years of doggedly promoting it in a way that would get it standardized or widely implemented
With the proper permission set (neverForLocation), the OS shouldn't ask for geo-location permission. So the app seems malconfigured, or it's actually doing something with the Bluetooth beacons that it can't do otherwise.

The vast majority of the people in crypto are "Kwon Artists," looking to book some gainz from whatever bagholder they can find. I feel bad for the normie grandparents who saw something on CNBC and bought in, but not for the crypto shills and grifters who lost their shirts in this.
"Heard a rumor" was there to provide an estimate of how (un)reliable the information was. My hope was someone would be able to confirm it, and it was not my intent to pass it off as confirmed fact. Regardless, as the sibling poster noted, they have already been caught weakening standards.

If it helps, Tip runs in App Sandbox without requesting any additional permission.

This means Tip cannot read any file on your computer (other than the predefined places in its own sandbox) nor anything on other apps.

There are 2 limited things that it can do:

1. It can only execute the script that you provide at ~/Library/Application\ Scripts/tanin.tip/provider.script

2. It can only see the string that you activate Tip on. This is through NSService.

The privacy and security is top notch. Kudos to Apple who provides such good frameworks.

You can try requesting the app to be allowed from your IT team. I did this at my company (i.e. Stripe) as well.
Ask HN: Has the new generation of entrepreneurs become too tame?
Back in the 90s and early 2000s there seemed to be this irreverence in founders.

They wanted to show the middle finger to the old way of doing things and create a new way.

Is that spirit too alive in the new generation of entrepreneurs?

Or are they just playing the VC game now which now seems to be the old way of doing things.

Are there any companies which are breaking the status quo and being naughty?
It can scale with the right setup, certainly better than overlapping windows. I've got a hierarchy of monitors (3) --> workspaces (10) --> windows (1 to 3 as you've described). For the terminal it goes further: tmux panes (8) --> vim panes (arbitrary number). Some of these elements in the hierarchy are named. Workspaces are fixed to a particular monitor to make finding them easy. It's been perfect for dealing with lots of applications and windows.
> One reason I am so intrigued by crypto is that for the first time engineers can hack on finance without any permission, licenses, approvals, regulations, borders, etc.

False. Anyone has always been allowed to issue their own magic beans, crypto has nothing to do with this.

> I'm usually about two to three years behind the curve

This makes so much sense now for many workflows. I no longer complain about my computers being slow so I don't even think of upgrading, and if something's annoying it's mostly about software rather than hardware anyway, so no point in upgrading, although the M1 seems to have convinced a lot of people otherwise. Looking forward to adopt this new tech... in 3-5 years or so.

This also makes it cheaper to upgrade through second-hand device, just stay one or two models behind.

Was that codebase optimised for Chrome? Maybe these bugs are only bugs because the code works only in Chrome? Did you check the browser implementation against W3C or IETF or some independent authority? Or there is no authority but only Chrome as a gold standard?

> Soo... basically a 2x speedup in going from 4x128b to 2x512b ALUs, after discounting the frequency difference. But realistically, Intel's client configurations are 3x256b, which is only 25-40% faster in that paper.

2.4x difference was, in fact, reported, however I still find it somewhat difficult to interpret the reported results. The processing unit size difference alone and the number of LU's can't account for such a big difference in transfer speeds as the M1 Max that was used in the assessment has a very wide memory bus (256 bit wide for a performance core cluster or 512 bit wide for the entire SoC) as well as unusually large L1-D cache and a large L2 cache, with both caches having deep TLB's. The test set they used could also fully fit into the L2 cache. I have asked the Google engineer a question in a separate thread about what else could influence the observed performance difference but have not received a satisfactory explanation.
Isn't all science "piggy backing on others work"?
That is exactly the type of answer I was looking for, thank you.
I'm in exactly the same boat. I'd love the quality of the hardware, but only if my current software experience (I'm on Debian) is not degraded. Let's see...

Why does that market exist?
And how are they going to enforce it or serve it? At any rate, no, there is no way that any online organized group of people (dao is a loosely defined word, except where legally defined and protected as in Wyoming) will be determined to be legally and universally and internationally jointly and severally liable.

That's not to say that some suits won't be brought but even if bzx lost their case it would not be necessarily a reflection on other legal or political arrangements.
When you die, your estate still owes the money to the bank. The bank is thinking when she passes the estate will sell the house, or she'll end up needing a retirement home and sell. Worst case if she's insolvent they'll take the house, but with a large enough down payment this won't cause a loss for the bank.

Nobody thinks an 80yo will live another 30 years btw. Queen Elizabeth is 96 but her chances of writing herself a letter are actually not even half, since annual attrition at that age is something like 20 or 30 percent. Sorry to be a downer, I don't mean to be cynical about your mom, just looking at statistics.
Yep. Making fun of "foreign" names is casual xenophobia. The fact that it's a pun doesn't excuse it. More generally, making fun of people's names is intellectual laziness and unprofessional at the very least.
This is an excellent write-up, and I genuinely hope that the brain-cycles the web3 world is spending on this eventually benefit the rest of society.

I’ve been musing about a similar but more simple problem: how can we prove we are an individual human in the context of a web service. Think of this like the ultimate CAPTCHA where not only can you prove you are human but every person can do so at most once or, more pragmatically, O(once).

The closest thing we have in society today is Sign in with Apple, where you have a delegated identity provided by a company which has effectively put up a large portion of its brand value as collateral that it won’t be shady, for some definition of the term “be shady”. This is suboptimal for a number of reasons, not least of which is that they can be compelled by a government to divulge this data while (mostly) protecting their brand-value-collateral, and they can be selective in what types of services are allowed to use this system.

I’m hopeful some of the non-charlatan web3 folks can come up with some sort of scheme where a trusted entity (a government or a civil rights oriented NGO) can participate in a cryptographic handshake with an end user and a service where at the end the service receives a unique identifier for that user which can not be used to associate that user across services, or divulge to the trusted entity which services a particular individual is using. This wouldn’t fully solve the “can I give this person a loan” problem, but would make many things on the web much better (most bots pretending to be human would become cost prohibitive). I also feel like trustworthiness attestation can be incrementally built on such a system (if such a system is possible).
I don't think that's true. The SAT has, among others, math questions. And it tests reading comprehension. Reading and math both take practice to learn and improve. This is so well known and obvious, I find it hard to believe such questions would be included if the goal was that practice would not help.

But let's suppose that, like for the IQ test, that was the goal. What do we do if we can't perfectly reach that goal? Weaken the test further?
Those alleged orphans aren't going to allegedly save themselves while providing a convenient cover story for why you allegedly died in a notoriously corrupt jurisdiction.
On atomics in Go, the beta for Go 1.19 was released an hour ago (https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/SNruPJUSFz0?pl...).

> The sync/atomic package defines new atomic types Bool, Int32, Int64, Uint32, Uint64, Uintptr, and Pointer. These types hide the underlying values so that all accesses are forced to use the atomic APIs. Pointer also avoids the need to convert to unsafe.Pointer at call sites. Int64 and Uint64 are automatically aligned to 64-bit boundaries in structs and allocated data, even on 32-bit systems.

Go 1.19 is expected to release in August.
Correct. There is nothing "self" or "sovereign" about having your "government name" certified cryptographically by the state.

Oh, you generated your own key material all by yourself, and THEN the government signed it? That's the innovation? Who cares. There is no value.

The -only- reason anyone cares about your identity is because it's mandated to do some checks by the government. Also, to deter fraud, as mandated by your insurance companies and credit card processors.

In both cases, there are legal requirements set out that mandate what exactly you must do. Often it would be the passport, plus second source of identity, plus an address check, plus proof of liveness.

Nobody asked for an open standard. Nobody really cares about identity except for banks/financials corps.

When was the last time you woke up and felt, damn, all I wanna do is identity, identity, identity?

Can't edit my original comment, but I looked it up. Out of 10 million arrests in the US, 2.5 million are black, or 25%, which is double their population. The US also has both the highest prison population in total, and per capita. You better be calling this a genocide of blacks if you aren't a total hypocrite.
Geico didn't think it was a great policy; they said it didn't cover the claim, and then the panel of judges said they failed to defend their policyholder, so tough, pay up.

And Geico is still going to appeal in a federal lawsuit.
The paper says specifically that the data is for Omicron.

Not sure why you call it "security theater". The lockdowns in China work, even against Omicron, even if it has become way more difficult. Shenyang, Guilin, Shenzhen, Guangzhou all defeated omicron without the Shanghai mess.

As for why they don't push vaccines more, that I don't know. Possibly because they are more cautious about vaccine side effects than we are. As I said, doctors in China recommend against getting vaccinated if you have other health problems. The same elderly in the Netherlands would just get a recommendation to get vaccinated because "vaccines are very safe", as we are officially told here.

I guess the issue is that there's a perception that a large proportion of cryptocurrency ventures are fraudulent from the start, or veer towards fraud shortly thereafter.

I'm not saying if that perception is correct or not, but it's real. Question for people in the cryptocurrency space is a) why and b) how do you fix it?
Ask HN: Monitor with physical dials for brightness/contrast?
Back in the 90s, we used to have CRT monitors, and they almost always had physical/mechanical dials for brightness/contrast settings. I'm prone to headaches looking at bright screens, so I often need to have different brightness/contrast settings in the day time vs night time. They were really convenient.

Nowadays - laptops are OK in this case because there's usually buttons on the keyboard to quickly adjust brightness.

For desktop PCs, every LCD/LED monitor I've owned has brightness/contrast settings buried in software menus. It makes it very hard to adjust brightness/contrast on a regular basis. I rely on night light settings (bluelight filters) in software to help myself feel better without having to fiddle with the monitor's menu (which is always really cumbersome to use).

Are there LCE/LED monitors with physical dials, or at a minimum dedicated physical buttons for brightness/contrast (and not buried within menus with buttons labeled "1", "2", etc.)?
I wish there was one for ffmpeg....

wait maybe there is one?

Are most work VPNs full-tunnel?

I thought Google didn't even use VPNs.
I think that they operate on the assumption that the system zoneinfo is "right" and contains leap second information by itself (and "right" is not a pun, tzdata does provide Right/* zones that exactly do this!). And I agree to you; this is a very fragile assumption even when you have a total control over the system.
I can get that Go's stdlib is smaller than Python's, but can you elaborate on why you feel that Go's syntax is hard to read compared to Java? Because both of them are very much C-like languages, syntax-wise.
The SEC did just that. The first ICO-related case involved someone issuing a coin supposedly backed by gold and real estate, actually backed by neither. The SEC has been bringing the hammer down on about two crypto-related scams per month.[1]
Most of them are out and out frauds. They haven't been aggressively going after every unregistered thing that passes the Howey test.

The SEC is mostly complaint driven. Someone complains they lost money in a scam, and the SEC takes a look. So they get involved in the aftermath, not the runup.

Recently, the SEC just doubled its "cyber" enforcement staff. So enforcement actions should pick up. Just in time for the flakier NFTs that promised something would happen in the future.
