Here's another perspective to this. An induced recession at a time when most people and businesses are recovering from historic losses that came about in the pandemic, is the worst.

In a recession, spending from the top 10% of the population slows down, which in turn stops the trickle down economics, and hits the lower 90% of the society the hardest. And when that happens after a 2 year long period where they were already hit hard, the effects will be even more long lasting.

[Edit]: Since most of you latched on to the argument that "trickle down economics" doesn't work, I'll clarify. Outside the rhetoric of "Billionaires are hoarding all the money", in a healthy economy, trickle down economics is how most of the businesses work. Every time a person earning six figures goes out buys that extra pair of shoes or goes on that extra vacation or orders in food because they were feeling lazy, it's trickle down economics. It works. When the people with higher purchasing power (I said top 10% for a reason and not top 0.1%) feel the pinch, it has a disproportionate impact on people with less money to spare.
We do - the monthly bill was about 30k when I joined and I was able to drop it down to 15k in a month by refactoring the majority of the infra (mainly backend workers). DB is the biggest limiting factor - pricing is absolute rubbish. You can't have backups after your data size goes above 20gb. Replicas have to be on the same tier, as otherwise lag occurs daily. Connection limits are awful, but luckily you can setup a pooler in front of the DB. Also, we had workers being stuck in a limbo state, where they aren't crashed, but they aren't working either - but this mainly happens with Celery workers, to be fair. Some add-ons are also cheaper directly on their respective website, rather than through heroku.

If someone was to use heroku I'd advise to at minimum:

- move the DB elsewhere.

- not setup external services through heroku auth (sentry, logtail, newrelic etc)

With all of that said - I do have my startup and some pet projects there as it does in fact abstract the devops aspect away.
It would need to revert only the changes in that commit while preserving all new changes afterwards. I don't have the foggiest how to make that happen, that's up to the ninjas at neon!

There would probably need to be a fallback mechanism if, for example, a new column was created and new data was entered into it, and then the revert removes the column. Probably it could keep pointers to such things ("there is a database D with a table T with a column C and rows [a,b,c,d]"), so that if the change is re-reverted later, an extra merge instruction could pop the reference back into place like nothing happened. Somebody with an actual CS background must have better ideas than me :)
"Much of the development in crypto over the last few years — in DeFi, in stablecoins, in trading platforms — has been about finding more efficient ways to add leverage in the crypto system. You could have said much the same about the traditional financial system in 2007. More efficient ways to add leverage are, you know, a mixed bag."

The Fed can only manage monetary policy. If Congress wants to fix the petroleum energy crisis with policy, it has the tools to do so.
Based on TFA, this bill sounds disastrous for healthcare research which depends on access to this sort of data to find treatments and cures for diseases like cancer, HIV, COVID, etc. I'm all for preventing advertisers from sweeping up our data, but a blanket ban on the sale of healthcare data would be lethally short-sighted (note that "personally identifiable" healthcare data is already protected by HIPAA, so I'm pretty sure this bill aims to eliminate the sale of "de-identified" healthcare data).
> People shouldn't see social relationships as a market with pseudo-economic value attached.

People from all perspectives regularly do this, but it's only considered seedy when it's used to point out a way men are disadvantaged.

No one is owed a partner who contributes equal work in the household; no one is owed a partner who cares about their sexual pleasure; no one is owed a partner who performs certain types of emotional labor. But we consider these things as Important Issues (which they are!) because they disproportionately disadvantage women. But there's nothing wrong with doing the same on the other side of the divide.

>We don't have an open web today. We have three platforms. We have the Microsoft Windows platform, the Apple App Store platform, and the Google Web Platform.

Somewhat related: I had the pleasure of attending a talk given by Fernando Pérez (Jupyter) a while back. He made a very similar point, saying "there are only 3 computers today: Azure, AWS, and GCP". I'm not quite cynical enough believe that Google or MS would ever do something to lock down their cloud services to only their consumer products, I think the scale of this oligopoly can't really be understated, and it seems that we're moving away from personal computers and back to the time-sharing systems from before.
I remember my neighbor using glue made from mistletoe berries to catch small colorful birds (80s eastern europe). I don't recall the exact process, but I think it involved cooking the berries and thickening of the glue. Then coating some thin branches and placing them near the already captured birds. Other birds would land on the treated branch and remain glued to it until freed.
Are you saying the IRS does not adjust tax brackets to follow inflation properly?
Unless you're claiming violent seizure, then the Benz had a good probability of being earned by someone, thus meriting some social clout by those who value those contributions. I have a pickup over a decade old and with a noisy muffler, and write comments on forums like this instead of, apparently, providing value sufficient to afford more. It's not meritorious, and I receive and deserve some derision. Well at least I don't genuflect before the God of egalitarianism, so I'll accept credit for that.
The basic Fisher equation of exchange is that

Velocity * Money Supply = Price Level (changes in this are inflation) * Economic Output

During early pandemic, velocity tanked because people were spending less so it was not a foregone conclusion that increasing the money supply as much as the Fed did would lead to inflationary changes in the price level.

Now, we are seeing velocity somewhat rebound while output is not increasing as much as we would expect and the Fed is doing little to scale back money supply.

It depends. Goog and Meta pay good engineers (SWE/SREs) twice that and more.

For engineering managers, 3-5x that and more.

Edit: People gotta hate on those who bring home the bacon. America is one of the least fair countries in the world because it's excessively unconstrained in some areas and missing fundamental services other countries provide.
I've always thought that a huge limiting factor is that we can only really observe from our current point in time. We are time limited which is a big hindrance just as it would be to only observe things form a single physical position (which is also sort of true - but at least we can send probes and whatnot out there).
You can respond:

That's not true. Best of luck :)

The wind doesn't blow as strongly at night. It's much calmer.
The same thing happened when the Texas Superconducting Supercollider was cancelled (after >$2 billion spent) but we eventually got LHC. There'll be a winter in high energy physics but eventually the tide will turn.

Is the debt rate fixed on federal debt? I can’t find much info on this.

I'm surprised the author says:

> HSI is not disclosing the name of the private company in Hawaii targeted, the country where the suspect was arrested or the name of the suspect.

and then directly after that implies that Russia is behind the attack:

> While it is likely we will never know who attempted the breach, it is clear that the security of our cables are of key interest of the great power adversaries. and this wouldn't be the first time Russia has been linked to a cable attack.

The operation was apparently rolled up by an informant. Personally, I would expect better from Russia. They can send their hitmen all over the world to kill dissidents without getting ratted out, but a little cable tapping is too much for someone to hold in?
The largest amount of money and social status per unit of time is gained (and lost) by betting on sociopolitical trends which starts from nothing and become significant.

Bill Gates had to work from 1976 to 1986 in order to make what Soros made by shorting the British Pound in just one week back in 1992.

Crypto is similar, it's a socio-political movement , a set of ideas which for some reason resonates with the public.

Same was betting on Brexit at t-4 weeks or on Donald Trump to win the election in August 2016

High gas prices are mostly a function of insufficient refining capacity, short of the government building more, I dont see a policy fix here. The market is responding to the probability of an electric future.
Nitpick:

Bonds coming to term means it's exchanging low% for high %.
Deficit means that the problem accelerates even faster than that, because the total value of bonds continues to increase.

That's where you bump up against copyright problems. For example anyone who composes a book or an opinion piece in the New York Times is obtaining data/information and publicizing it for profit. If you're going to argue that publishers of information don't/can't own the substance of their publication, how does one make a claim to the rights of what one has published? I would think GPS software operates on the same principle.

The bank cannot directly sell your location information but they can disclose it to financial partners, likely for some financial quid pro quo. If you read the contracts on the You have to manually opt out by way of mail. I'm assuming Google does the same thing.

This is a typical overcorrection (the Fed is run by humans after all). US debt is over $23x10^12, so such rates are unsustainable even in the short term (12-24 months).

I have to think that she knows as much too. It's a bad bill (it would be ruinous for healthcare research), and I think it's more about scoring points with pro-choice and pro-privacy voters than it is about actually passing policy (at least I hope she wouldn't seriously try to upend healthcare research).

>Making games has a very low cost.

Think about the skills required to create a presentable product, then think about the time you have to sink into it with no idea if you'll have any success at all. Just look at how ConcernedApe is described on Wikipedia:

>is an American video game developer, video game designer, artist, composer, and musician.

Imagine how difficult it would be to hire somebody who would be able to fulfill all of these roles at the same time and how much you would have to pay them. The 1-person successes are people who are on top of their game.

>Even today we have notable 1-person successes

And how many failures? How many people gave it everything they had and it went nowhere? Those failures have a cost too.

>When was the last time you saw a movie made by someone with a cell phone and adobe premier playing in a major theater?

But that's not where it starts. You can tell a story in a book that can be made into a movie, because they can overlap. Movies get a constant stream of new ideas from books that are written. Most of those books are failures too, but the barrier to entry there is much lower than making a game. You can't write a book and then turn it into a game, because the most important aspect of a game - gameplay - isn't something that a book can handle in any way.
> The whole "issue" is very strange to me. Proper tail calls (PTC) without the extra syntax are literally free performance boosts for existing code.

It's bad to create a dangerous performance cliff. There could be some TCO based code that works fine, and then a junior coder makes an 'innocent' change that makes it ineligible for TCO, then that code eventually starts getting OOM crashes on heavy data.

I think if they're gonna do TCO then it really should be syntactic. If someone is writing their code around an assumption of TCO, then they almost always want an explicit guarantee of TCO, and they want to fail fast if TCO isn't happening.
I've been keto on and off for the last year and I've found it incredibly effective for weight loss. I understand the principles for effective weight loss, and while a lot of dieticians hate on keto, there is one thing that it taught me that no other diet did - read the label on packaged products in the store.

Simply because of how strict keto is I began to read the breakdown for every single thing I purchase in the store. This may seem obvious to all but I never did it to the degree I do now. There is sugar in everything and the serving sizes are often completely ridiculous - I saw a protein bar where the serving size was half the bar! Other diets teach you food groups to eat and encourage but don't seem to have this side effect of teaching you just how messed up some packaged foods are.
Your comment ignores the parent and therefore misses their point. It is _irrelevant_ which conditions need to be handled by AP. If we don't have even basic data, we can't make any useful comparisons.
> I don't think Git "won" principally on technical merits.

Git seems a very pure example of the Unix philosophy "worse is better". Lots of evidence that Linus examined darcs in some detail, decided it was "too smart" and wanted/needed "dumb but fast". It's even in the name of git given "git" is a British colloquialism for "idiot" or "fool". Sometimes you just need the dumb tool that works fast and gets out of the way, and the technically better and smarter (but slower; harder to understand) tool loses.

Every central bank in the world is caught between a rock and a hard place. A recession would be bad for the long-term economy, likely reducing aggregate productivity. But if they don't manage to get inflation under control, we'll see a wage/price spiral as high inflation expectations become entrenched among companies and workers.

Couldn't agree more!

Keto is EASY compared to any other diet I've tried for one key reason: you don't feel hungry.

You can eat as much as you want, whenever you like. Soon enough though the effects kick in, your hunger is supressed, and you have to remind yourself to eat at times.

No matter how enthusiastic you are at the start, hunger quickly erodes willpower. I failed miserably at the typical low-fat diet. Keto was the cheat code.
Mandate work from home capability for anyone who can work from home; prioritize oil consumption for non discretionary use cases where you have no choice but to move atoms vs bits. Agree with your thesis otherwise, no way to juice output in the short term, only shims until electrification ramps faster (which, I argue, should carry the same gravity and speed as a wartime effort, but alas I am not a politician).

Edit: Normally I’d suggest a carbon tax and rebate to low income folks, but that would directly work against Fed FFR increasing efforts and Congress is so pathetic as to not be able to get it done.
For some examples: People have 3D game engines running in JavaScript. There's a lot of cryptographic work in JavaScript, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies - a lot of groundbreaking stuff from a technological perspective. Full blown emulators, developer tools, virtual machines... the world of JavaScript is way larger than CRUD applications.
I think in the past decade there has been some crackdown on shell corporations in the US. It is still very easy and cheap to start a corporation in some states but there has to be ownership disclosure. OTOH, money moves around without a lot of prior documentation and it's the recipient's responsibility to report the income.

I can say I was nervous enough about the whole picture to decline some work some years back, because the person wanted to pay in crypto and I felt like it would get me in for tax complications even though I was willing to do all necessary reporting. The person was outside the US, so some parts of US employment rules wouldn't have applied. I didn't know the other person's name and I don't think he knew mine. Neither one of us was being cloak and dagger afaict, but we had met online and the question simply didn't come up.
That makes sense -- I'm assuming the company is going to follow the letter of the law, because they are a known entity, but the anonymous/pseudonymous individual is trying to break it.
You should pay more attention. They planned to start hiking rates in ‘21 when inflation broke 2% but in their infinite wisdom they deemed it “transitory” and kept rates low and now look where we are.
Why is having a better understanding of the laws of physics a nightmare for physicists?
Short answer, yes. Based on the data so far released by the NHTSA, comparing similar cohorts (drivers of luxury cars with advanced driving systems), Tesla's using Autopilot crash at least 3x more frequently than cars from other automakers using their respective advanced driving systems. (3x compared to Honda, 50+x compared to Toyota, GM, or Ford L2 systems)

Or to put it more directly: Nissan has sold over 560k cars in the U.S. with an L2 system, and has no reportable accidents. Tesla has sold approximately 1.3 million cars in the U.S. with Autopilot, and has 273 accidents. GM has been selling SuperCruise since last year (approx 100k vehicles), and has 0 L2-level accidents. (And testing by Consumer Reports, et al, report fewer issues with SuperCruise than with Autopilot in similar situations.) TLDR: there is no way to massage the data to make Tesla look even remotely safe compared to its competitors.
M&A teams can “innovate” new systems where companies merge and spin off subsidiaries all of the time to amass large volumes of historical data that is of course shared equally with the divested interests.

I think we are mistaking how important recency is. Sure the current data on me has value, but there is also value in figuring out what my current behavior has meant in the past with other people, and trying to figure out what I might do next even if you haven’t tracked me specifically within an inch of my life, right now.

Knowing what I did five years ago and what people in my social groups do might be valuable enough even though you’re “protecting me” going forward.
As you say, we might have to make this data a hot potato. Create situations where hoarding is a liability rather than an underutilized asset.
Unfortunately under the shared responsibility model the cloud provider won’t necessarily take actions in this case because of the precedent it sets.
Keto community generally recommends replacing carbs with fat and keeping protein constant. Protein consumption is almost a constant (with some variability due to workout regimen, etc).

I think of it like a see-saw, with protein level being the axis of rotation (ie., it stays the same). Now you have 2 remaining macro variables: carbs and fat. If you decrease one, you need to increase the other or else caloric intake might be too low.

Keto community generally refers to the diet as Low Carb High Fat because not eating enough fat can cause problems on the diet.

Edit: To be clear, assuming sufficient consumption of protein, if calories are still deficient, keto community recommends making up the deficit with fat rather than protein.

Far from the worst I’ve seen. But there’s a certain irony in regarding “SJW”s as being counter productive while authoring a 31 page manifesto on company culture and gun ownership(?!). It sounds like an exhausting workplace and frankly like the CEO does not have his eye on the ball.
"acceptable workplace behavior" is a rich white cis straight male standard, but you're probably not ready to hear that.

Judging everyone on how well they can act like a rich white cis straight male is naturally discriminatory to everyone who isn't, in proportion to how much unlike that they are.
It's the same kind of person. The difference is that your boss correctly identified himself. The activists in question are the same, but misidentify themselves, hiding under a false label. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.

I also made the mistake thinking they were sheep at first. They talk all about diversity and inclusion and tolerance, but in practice it's precisely the opposite.
