Assuming someone can time the market, what reason would they have for not cracking into the list of the world’s wealthiest people within a couple decades?
>> The funny thing is that both can be true. Inflation can soar and the economy can crater.

The solution to that is raising interest rates. Possibly a massive rate hike. Look for the Fed to do a full percentage point or more next time. The party is over. They're trying to be gentle so as not to destroy the housing market like last time. But housing is going to drop, no question.

That's because very often mobile games are not developed with performances in mind or when they are, they'll use everything the device can give, often pushing it into throttling mode, because mobiles are not made to be run at sustain load for a long time.

Mobile is the most constrained platform to develop on if you want to actually have an optimized game, especially when supporting most Android devices.
Multiple people have already said this, but I'll ask just for the sake of it: Are you aware that Elon forewent his due diligence by simply skipping that part and going straight to signing the deal?

That means that Twitter DOES NOT have the responsibility that you claim. Sure, you may think that according to a certain moral framework they do, but in the context of this deal, which is what the thread is about and what the people you are responding to are talking about, it is irrelevant.

I might add as well as a counter to your accusations of "Musk-hate rage", that perhaps it's you who's suffering from Twitter-hate rage with a dash of Musk-fanboyism, and that it's Elon who's twisting the truth for his own gain rather than Twitter. Could that not be the case?

Lastly, it's not a "non-response". Twitter has continuously provided Musk with the data he's asked for, he just keeps asking for more. Also, even if you ridicule the idea, some data is simply _not_ appropriate nor necessary to share before a sale. Otherwise you could find out any trade secret from anyone simply by making an offer and then reneging on it.
If it were a single job, it would be easy, but: The Federal Reserve System has been given a dual mandate—pursuing the economic goals of maximum employment and price stability.
The common assumption was that stocks would hedge inflation, this is wrong.

>Your login attempt would keep the login (not logged-in) session open wherever you attempted to login from

While I generally agree that this behavior is correct from a usability standpoint, it's not safe. That design allows a user to do a one-click account compromise when they receive a magic link that was sent in response to the login attempt of an attacker that happened to know the user's email address.

I don't think that there is any section older than any other section. It's rather a question of looking 'far' enough, which probably means targeting a very narrow section to detect very faint, 'reddish' signal.
This reminds me of the “HTML should be semantic” and “CSS class names should be semantic” crowd. People aren’t robots, and we can’t/don’t write crystalline code, nor arguably should we.

No PHD needed, just a ruler.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m2

Switch to 10 Year view. Put your ruler on the line. You should get a bit under 18,000.

It's actually 22,000. So pretty simple maths. It's 22% inflation from simple 'printed too much money'. This is monetary policy gone wrong. Though if you zoom it, they did stop printing money and have been pulling out a minuscule amount in the last few months.

So there's 22% inflation just from monetary policy. Then you have inflation from various other sources like cancelling oil projects causing supply issues. You have carbon taxes causing pretty big harm to the food industry. Afterall I'm not familiar with any combine harvesters or tractors that get good mileage. Long story short, there's about 40% inflation locked in. If it doesnt rise above 9.1%, then it's years more of this.
Prices are dropping or being moved around.

For example - amazon goods - prices haven't really changed much but its so affordable to buy at amazon because of the negligible shipping. 5 years ago it would have cost you $150 bucks to same day/overnight a package. Today i can order batteries, dog food and cleaning supplies and have it show up by 3pm. So pricing has "changed" if you ask me - you don't get the cheapest goods compared to other stores but the overall price is low because it shows up to my front door super quick and saves me time/money in other places.

Beyond that - i'm seeing pricing settle. I build lifepo batteries, prices were way up but coming down. Construction goods are trending down. Lumber is up and down variable on supply but coming down.

Dining out prices have gone through the roof though... just had a terrible meal the other day and for crappy food it was 48 bucks for 2 people. So I'm just gonna cut out dining out unless i know i'm paying for premium. I'd rather spend 150 bucks for a meal i'll never forgot that is a 3 hour experience than 50 bucks for something thrown in a microwave and slapped on the table. So there is the value vs reward thing to think of here..

but other things - 3d printing is cheap, hobbies are cheap... cars? expensive, I invested in an EV bcause electricity is cheap and speaking of electricity Solar and home battery systems are so cheap now compared to before that i offset some costs of cooling by just buying new AC, new efficient appliances and using new panels.

what prices are you seeing stay up? even fuel is below 4 bucks a gallon and struggling to stay up
> This has nothing to do with monetary policy.

How can you be so certain? Gasoline prices started rising well before the war:

I would agree that the war has made a bad situation worse. But to say this has "nothing to do with monetary policy" seems like a stretch.

It's the end of the road for Unity. ( at least what most of us think Unity still is, but it's not )

The technology was always more or less "fine". Unreal Engine didn't "kill" Unity and it will not in the future.

For the better part of a decade, Unity tried to become not-sure-what but way more than "just a game engine", and that's the problem, I don't know exactly what and neither do they.

To be clear, Unity is not "dead" and will not be dead for a while, but the writing is on the wall with this "merger".

So as a client, being able to check whether I likely have a usable result without parsing out the body has no value whatsoever? I'm not sold.

I think we need to be using HTTP error codes better at the API layer, not ditching them entirely. Building on this example, for an invalid user, how about an HTTP 204 and an empty response body? That gives us a clear "no such user exists" without having to parse JSON out first.

EDIT: for the record, I think that on some level, REST APIs themselves are an abuse of HTTP. JSON didn't even exist for much of the public Internet's first decade, and certainly the early work on HTTP never mentioned such a thing as a REST API. We're already using HTTP for so many things in so many ways that this is somewhat of a Lilliputian discussion.
> Any level headed person, forget a politician, would want to experiment first, see the results, gauge and then expand selectively. That is common sense.

The precautionary principle. I've noticed this is ever-more fiercely applied to anything involving protection of the environment, but never, ever applied to protection of national ethnicities and culture in Western countries - where the mere mention of latter invites being cancelled.
Well you don't _have_ to grow fast. But a slow-growing or not-growing company also has a very different feel. Fast-growing companies have lots of room for growth for everyone who works there, because there are new positions and new responsibilities opening up all the time. Slow-growing companies have less of that, so somebody else has to leave or die before you get a chance to move up.
Sometimes, this is still better than the problems of fast growth, but it is a tradeoff.

Also, if you took VC money to start the company in the first place, then you may require fast growth in order to offer some prospect of a return to the people who invested with you. Similarly, if you maxed out your credit cards and took loans from family to get going, you need/want to grow fast to pay that back. Not every small company is in that situation, but many of them are.

That's a pretty weird way to do math, honestly. Shouldn't you figure out what equation you need and then just type it? If you're off by one or whatever, adjust it then, you're still only typing it twice.
One of the Fed's key charges is to maintain price stability by maintaining inflation at around 2% YOY.

It should be clear by now that the Fed is unable to achieve its goals and is a failure according to their own stated goals.
The argument is about zero interest rates, not success or capitalism.
I’ve been re-reading John Kenneth Galbraith’s “The Affluent Society” recently. Originally published in 1958, but some sections were updated by Galbraith in 1998. Here are some interesting and relevant paragraphs:

"The public response to inflation is interesting. It is widely deplored and condemned. Politicians of both parties have taken a strong position against it. Conservatives, anciently the self-designated custodians of the 'honest dollar,' have continued to stress this tenet of their faith. Businessmen, bankers, insurance executives and nearly every type of professional public spokesman at one time or another have warned of the dangers of continued inflation. Meanwhile, liberals have deplored failure to take effective action while often proposing none themselves. Next only to the virtues of competition, there is nothing on which the conventional wisdom is more completely agreed than on the importance of stable prices. Yet this conviction leads to remarkably little effort and, indeed, to remarkably few suggestions for specific action. Where inflation is concerned, nearly everyone finds it convenient to confine himself to conversation. All branches of the conventional wisdom are equally agreed on the undesirability of remedies that are effective. [...]

Monetary policy [that is: a rate increase at the Fed] collides with the process of consumer-demand creation and, since it works on business investment, is in conflict with our emphasis on growth. It is also ineffectual, discriminatory and, possibly, dangerous. Fiscal policy [that is: gov’t taxation to reduce the money supply] is sharply at odds with the commitment to a level of output that ensures full employment and the accompanying economic security. Direct controls [that is: price controls on things like oil/gas], which in theory might reconcile high employment with price stability, are under a heavy ideological cloud. [...]

... [1998 update from Galbraith:] The United States has seen some years of relatively low unemployment and very mild inflation, though no diminished fear thereof. The new situation reflects the declining power of unions and the growing importance of industries -- consumer services, entertainment, the arts, professions and much advanced technology -- where they are absent or unimportant. Here the wage/price interaction and spiral is not a factor. As often in economic life, change in controlling circumstances has brought appreciable economic change, how permanent one does not know."

On my Show HN project https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32081943 I've downloaded this CPI-U series and plotted the inverse of it, showing the reduced real wealth by carrying a dollar forward (green line on homepage), or go directly to it: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/USDOLLAR (but there is some explanatory text about "baguettes" only on the homepage if you find the y-axis confusing!).

You can plot other assets too, such as gold https://totalrealreturns.com/s/GLD
I think you are theorising too much based on a bit of Russian propaganda. I looked at a few exchanges and the spread on rubble is so high you could not buy more than a few dollars at the rated prices.
BTC and a lot of other chains are Level 1 (L1). Final settlement layers for transactions. To compare that to normal banking, your credit card is like an L5. Tons of things go on in-between your CC transactions before its actually settled even if it appears to be instant and final to the end user.

Truth is crypto enthusiasts have been overly ambition in this space, insisting a single L1 chain will come along and be the solution.

The average user A) Doesn't care and B) needs a higher level transaction layer that is flexible, where charges can be reversed or funds restored in the presence of theft or fraud. That stuff happens all the time in real life.

There is no way to improve the blockchain as currency UX without a centralized mediator(s) for average people. People get scammed all the time despite there being dozens of safety nets in place. How is that going to work when an attacker just needs your crypto keys to steal your entire net worth?
This reminds me of the first "scientific myth" I witnessed.

It was in the 80's in France where we had a photocopied page with "the most dangerous additives". The worst was E330. 40 years later, I still remember it.

My parents had a copy from sime friends and these well educated people (dad is an engineer and mom a lawyer) checked everything against the list. Just because it was "from the Villejuif hospital".

It was a fake and E330 is citric acid, a benin product. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid

> I've built apps for big clients using React (and SSR, FWIW). You pick your package manager and build system at the start of the project, and then you generally stick with it until (well after) the end of the project.

That's what bugs me about Javascript: the Java/.NET/PHP server-side rendered applications from 10 years ago can be moved forward. Not painless, but if you want you can adapt them to run on a modern stack while with Javascript frameworks from 10 years ago you mostly have to start over.
Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output. -- Milton Friedman

> I doubt this is monetary inflation. It's price inflation due to a supply crunch brought on by the pandemic shutdowns

Take a look at M2 money supply [0]. Pumping huge amounts of fiscal stimulus into the global economy caused this. Inflation has been driven by poor policy decisions.

> Then throw in other factors like housing undersupply in developed countries

There has been a housing stock shortage for over a decade, that's not new, so it's hard to argue that's a proximate cause [1].

> continuing depletion of "easy" oil

There's plenty of oil available [2]. New technology (hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling, etc.) allows for accessing reserves that were too expensive previously. There has been structural underinvestment in O&G thanks to misguided green/ESG policy.

> Chinese threats against Taiwan

How does this drive inflation? If anything, China has reduced inflationary pressures by decimating economic activity with Covid lockdowns.

> Gold tends to be (but is not guaranteed to be) a hedge against monetary inflation

Gold has been a great hedge against inflation in the long run. When measured in gold, a soldier today earns a similar salary to a Roman soldier 2000 years ago [3]. However, gold is not a good hedge against inflation in the short term. When inflation goes up, interest rates go up. When interest rates go up, the opportunity cost of owning gold increases. It should be noted that interest rates have steadily declined throughout history.

Or in other words, the rest of the country catching up to the big cities

No idea if this is the truth of course
>>Sri Lankans cannot entirely absolve themselves of blame for repeatedly electing a populist regime.

If you have bigoted populace, it's dead easy to bait them into voting for some immediate emotional relief. Sri Lankan's wanted to have fun watching Tamils and Muslims get hurt, so it wasn't all that hard for some politician to get the people vote for him. The worse thing is they even put up with his bad decisions for the same reasons. And they did this for years.

The population is entirely responsible for this.

As it turns out they ran out of time, there's always that one point after which everything comes melting down.
They can still send bodies, which is where GP said the message should be.
SGX is out there and being used. It's actually the solution to these problems, ultimately, because Intel CPUs are highly patchable via microcode and when you set up an enclave you're effectively opting in to better security for lower performance. For instance, a lot of the early attacks were blocked simply by making the CPU flush its state when entering or exiting an enclave. Intel could do that because an enclave is meant to be hardened, whereas other sorts of mitigations at e.g. syscall boundaries hit tough performance/security tradeoffs that are very different in different contexts.

Also, I'll say, having read a lot of SGX related research papers that many of the attacks were not really practical on close examination, or were immediately patched. The researchers don't tend to mention these things but e.g. using ancient crypto libraries without any side channel mitigations is rather common in that field.

For things like this, it'd probably make sense to use SGX more in the Linux kernel for holding secrets and doing other things. A lot of stuff in the kernel isn't really read sensitive (modulo generic secrets like KASLR slides). Having secrets like root hashes hanging around in kernel memory isn't a good idea but where to put them? One solution is to move stuff into enclaves. Unfortunately it would only help on server platforms.
Do you still use Web SQL?

That is the consensus view. But what if it doesn't work? What if the rate hikes keep coming fast and furious and the CPI keeps rising even faster?

Recall that until the late 1970's the thought that inflation could persist through a recession seemed absurd.

Nobody is ready for that scenario because they think it's impossible. But then again, how many predicted the situation we find ourselves in right now?
