> The concept of "inflating debt away" is an assumption that wages match inflation while debt stays static

It also myopically focuses on household debt. But household debt is significantly lower than either corporate debt or government debt [1].

The biggest debtors benefit the most from inflation — quantitatively speaking, the debts of ordinary people aren’t very big.

It would be a killer feature, but the thing is that Git has a conflict resolution feature that puts the working tree in an invalid state until the user has manually fixed certain issues, so that you cannot commit until you manually fix the files and mark those as such.

Doing so for a database seems less desirable from an availability perspective, especially with high-throughput databases.

I'm using Manjaro on my laptop and it's been smooth so far, aside from an initial wifi chipset hiccup. I'm using it also on a laptop-as-a-router. Disabled all the graphical stuff. It's been very good, thus far and only 213 MB of RAM being used after disabling some (but certainly not all) unnecessary services.

I work remote and the thing that keeps me living in a relatively high CoL city is fear of being locked in if I'm fired and unable to find other remote work.

Citizens United, whether you agree with it or not, builds on several previous SCOTUS rulings around campaign finance.

" the waste produced by coal plants is actually more radioactive than that generated by their nuclear counterparts. In fact, the fly ash emitted by a power plant—a by-product from burning coal for electricity—carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy"

From: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-...

We seem to have been fine burning coal and not thinking about the radiation that puts into the surrounding environment.

It's also disingenuous to think that there aren't negative environmental externalities from the production and operation of "renewables".

All forms of energy production will have some negative consequences and we need to understand what those are and think of ways to mitigate them, rather than just pointing to what's bad about one form and ignore what's bad about others.
> See, they are pirates and not professionals, so it’s a “transition plan” and not a buyout package.

Right. 'professionals' like 'Netflix' being questionably part of FAANG doing the exact same thing as Coinbase, leaking memos, freezing hiring and laying off their employees as soon as their stock crashed. Even in the leaked memo, the now want to focus on the focus and not the politics which is reasonable to simply just make money.

I see none of that so far by Kraken. What you have just highlighted is that there is no guarantee attached to those 500 roles. This applies to any company and it's good to be skeptical. If you don't like these companies, you are free to start your own and run it the way you want to.

> So you bet your ass I'm playing Elden Ring with an easy-mode mod, save-scummed constantly in X-Com, used infinite money cheats in City Skylines, and fast travel anywhere in Witcher 3.

These all seem pretty reasonable to me. The first one is a desired difficulty level. The second one… well that one’s kind of on you depending on how granular it was. The third one is a desired game mode. The fourth one is just quality of life.

Elden ring was poorly balanced imo. I would imagine if you’re less skilled an easy mode would still give you the full game. But I stand pretty firm that an infinite health mode would utterly ruin it.

Save scumming because something went poorly vs repeatedly save scumming a high risk move until the dice fall favorably seems a little lame to me.

This is what I do with tools. If it's obviously something I will use again and again, I'll pay for quality.

Unfortunately the places where workers congregate is also the places where the most opportunity can be found in the job market and social sphere.

We did pretty much the same thing as Cloudflare does for workers in the Parse Cloud Code backend many years ago--when possible, we ran multiple V8 isolates in the same OS process. There are certain issues we ran into:

* Security-wise, isolates aren't really meant to isolate untrusted code. That's certainly the way Chrome treats them, and you would expect that they would know best. For instance, if you go to a single webpage in Chrome that has N different iframes from different origins, you will get N different Chrome renderer processes, each of which contain V8 isolates to run scripts from those origins.

* Isolation is not perfect for resources either. For instance, one big issue we had when running multiple isolates in one process is that one isolate could OOM and take down the all the isolates in the process. This was because there were certain paths in V8 which basically handled hitting the heap limit by trying to GC synchronously N times, and if that failed to release enough space, V8 would just abort the whole process. Maybe V8 has been rearchitected so that this no longer occurs.

Basically, the isolation between V8 isolates is pretty weak compared to the isolation you get between similar entities in other VMs (e.g. Erlang processes in the BEAM VM). And it's also very weak when compared to the isolation you get from a true OS process.
Sure, and most of them have been addressed properly.

Honestly (as another commenter said), V8 being behind one of Google's largest revenue streams makes it feel "safe enough" for me, they have all the resources and incentive to make it as safe as realistically possible.

Of course it's not perfect, but is there anything better at the moment?

I never claimed the wealth was unearned - I said it was unearned by the high school student who is gaining clout from it.

I don't think you'll find any evidence to support this. No one decides that since they don't need a Benz to show off, that they would like to live in a hovel and work until they are 75.

> Instead of clipping the knees of the productive, realize that envy can encourage the unproductive to imitate the habits of the productive to themselves become productive

An equally plausible scenario is that the envy leads unproductive people to spend every last penny they can earn on the displays, leaving them in a much worse financial position than someone who eschews the displays and invests their money in productive enterprises.

In what way did growing up in the rural Midwest in the 80s mean Andreesen didn't benefit from social welfare?

Public schools and universities like his alma mater UIUC are a pretty clear example of social welfare heavily subsidized by taxpayers, especially in the 80s when you could attend an elite public university for a very low price, and have little to no student debt.

Food stamps and SSI aren't the only forms of public assistance.

Not a cryptography specialist, but I doubt that all crypto algorithms have the same property of causing 0s (or 1s) to massively appear for some inputs in a way that could lead to a key leakage with this attack.

I believe that SIKE is an extrem case which allows to perform this attack with more ease.

However I suspect that by refining the attack then it could be extended to other algorithms less sensitive to power side-channel.

Also, reprocessing "nuclear waste" from nuclear power stations yields a lot of pretty good fuel for "fast breeder" reactors [1]. This also mostly solves the problem of storing the highly active nuclear waste: you may need like 5% of the current storage capacity if you burn the current "nuclear waste" stockpiles.

Yes, the process involves production of Pu-239, which is weapon-grade and may raise proliferation concerns. But for the US, or France, or UK, or India, or China (and a bunch of others) this should not be a concern, since they officially have nuclear weapons.

It's mostly the political will, and the public opinion (which are interlinked) that limit a nuclear renaissance. If you talk about subsidies, please remember how huge were the subsidies that kickstarted the current solar and wind booms; early panels and wind towers were completely uneconomical by today's standards, and R&D costs were colossal. But now, with the technology streamlined and the economies of scale kicking in, solar is competitive even without subsidies.

The same could happen to a new crop of nuclear technology, much cleaner and more efficient than the kind we've inherited from 1970s.

Ask HN: What are your thoughts on serverless?
Serverless may cost more than self-hosting but for some developers the serverless option let's them focus on their product rather than worrying about server maintenance.

Here's an informative twitter thread about serverless from December 2020. The company is 'Fathom Analytics' who explain why they chose serverless (but also explain why it may not be suitable for everyone):

"We'll pay a premium for serverless so that we don't have to manage servers. It's a huge stress relief and it's worth every single penny":

There's a normative and substantial laboratory aspect to ABET-accredited[1] undergraduate engineering programs.

I think the crucial difference is that nobody was disadvantaged by legalizing same-sex marriage. At least in how it was implemented in the UK, religious venues are not compelled to officiate such marriages.

A few corrections:

1. Chrome has always had a multi-process architecture, with at least one dedicated process for each tab's renderer (which hosts the v8 runtime).

2. Chrome was already in the process of moving cross-origin iframes to separate processes when Spectre was announced. The announcement of Spectre style vulnerabilities just significantly increased the pace of implementation and deployment.

When you have an outrageous amount of effort to (what amounts to manual) testing in closed environments before release, you're fighting the language but you just don't care.

> Empirically I would say that it does very very well on maintainability’s count

FAANG companies don't even release data related to how program defects are detected and addressed (publicly), so the assertion is literally baseless. Given enough time and effort, you can overcome the inability to do simple things. That doesn't make the tooling better, just the perception. This is common, historically, in tech (re Mechanical Turk).
I think there's a balance. When you've been writing for a while, sometimes you write just to get an idea out of your head. When it becomes a habit, sometimes you write just because.

You also do sometimes need an "other" to write for, so I mean you end up being in a place where you aren't writing for yourself, even if that "other" doesn't exist. Puts less burden on yourself.
This year. Meanwhile it would have missed out on 27% in gains the previous year (and its associated dividends), if I kept it in a bank account.

Also that 20% loss will most likely recover in time. Inflation almost never reverses itself, it only slows down.

There's a reason rich people park most of their money in assets, and not in savings accounts. If they got more returns by keeping it in savings accounts, they would do that.
