anyone know of bullet-proof analyses into central banking policy out there?

after dealing with crypto projects that offer high interest rates, and do so by just inflating their token supply, fed policy seems magical to me. the fed’s offering you yield on your dollars, and that yield comes from printing new dollars (right? there’s no tax increase as part of this announcement). your share of dollars stays constant. so why is it that paying nominal interest on dollars makes people want to buy and hold onto them? how is it that inflating the supply via this one particular method strengthens the dollar? how do you model these things?
One time, I did not heed the advice to not over-pump one of these. I was kneeling in the grass, pumping it up. I remember seeing it, then in the next moment, the rocket disappeared in an instant and everything went quiet. I realized it exploded, probably with a very loud noise, and it took me a few hours for sound to come back and the ringing to subside. Luckily I didn't lose an eye (though I did wear glasses, which probably helped).
Yes, Space X.
You'll probably find no work in the domain of Rust. As someone who writes Rust for weekend projects and Everything Else for work though, it works out pretty nice.

In many states, it's a bit much for legality too. In mine for example, I have to be reasonably in fear for my life to shoot someone in my house.

That said, not everyone who breaks in is just after your stuff, especially if they come at night.
It's almost like you are encouraging supply side economics... aka... trickle down

We need to massively cut corporate taxes, investment taxes, regulations, and all manner of things to increase supply. The government has been attacking business for so long we are in quite the hole.
AKA managed.
Lol nice!! :-)

Gas is highly volatile on a good day and we're coming off of an exceptionally high spike. 20% off of a high that's ~2x what it was a year ago and ~3x what it was a year before that. Gas prices will likely continue on a generally downward arc. The shape/timeline of the arc nobody knows and how low it will go nobody knows. I doubt it will hit the 2s nationally.

Energy in the general sense underpins the entire economy but there is so much more on top of that making inflation more complex.
Raising taxes on the wealthy could offset any changes to the money supply caused by a slightly more generous welfare state. An obvious solution.
You asked

> Imagine where Uber would be today if they wanted to stop losing money so early in the game.

Well if they stopped they could have lost less money
I see what you're saying, but taking that logically a few steps further, I see this round of inflation is simply a rebalancing of prices relative to finite supply at the hands of a more empowered worker class. But I think you're right too.
How to Build a Product Delivery Organization: Lessons LaunchDarkly
If I can have a XAML/WinForms like UI dev experience with Rust on Linux, I am sold. Even just a usable rich UI framework on Linux. Cross-platform is a bonus, but since I believe Linux is the future I can live without other platform targets.

We all hate the resource hogging desktop apps that are just browsers (which in turn are just OS'es). That is a niche as wide and as open as the ocean. Cryptography and web frameworks are nice, but not where the action needs to be.

If UI is too complex for Rust, give up altogether on Rust. As C/C++ keeps the win since the nineties and we know the competition will not be held anymore.
I think that the author was a bit unclear in regards to the word "gay". It almost sounded like the author thinks that using the word "gay" in any context should be considered bad. After I went back to read that part again, I realized that they were referring to people saying "that's gay" to mean something along the lines of "that's bad" or "that's something I don't like". This was a common phrase among teens and 20-somethings 15-20 years ago, but it is rightly considered in poor taste today.

Do you happen to know anyone who managed to figure out what the electrical requirements for the cable are? We tried mounting the antenna outside and connecting the cable via an external box to the inside (using cat 6 cable), but Starlink immediately started complaining about a 'bad connection', which went away when we routed the cable to the power brick unimpeded. But it would really be much neater if we could use our own house's ethernet wiring. But evidently Starlink doesn't like it.

I really miss the experience I had with MySpace back in 2004-2007. It gave users a lot of control over their personal pages, and I had a lot of fun adding all sorts of wacky things. I got to communicate with some of my favorite bands and authors, all the content in someone's profile was contained in a single place. There was almost a diy feel to it. I sometimes even feel nostalgic about the "Top 8" drama. It was a simpler time. I was also young so I probably overlooked the darker side of things then. People did warn a lot about putting your real name online because it might give murderers your information, granted there were fewer people on the internet then and it had a certain wild west vibe to it, the great unknown with associated fears- somewhere along the way society did a 180 and everyone started putting all their information online. It's really strange to think about the shifts, but even stranger to think about the sources of the moving parts bringing the changes.

There are alternatives to corporate-run social media (the Fediverse, to name one off the top of my head) that are less-known. I've personally just left social media altogether. I had a period of time I spent in cycles of addiction/absrinence and I have to say I much prefer to keep in touch with people on more personal direct contact (snail mail, e-mail, messaging) without meddling, extra baggage, advertisers, my data being sold off to unknown entities to do as they please according to their most likely not benign motivations. But the biggest factor in my exit from social media was how negative it all became.

I joined facebook in 2007 when you needed to be invited in and it was basically mostly students. Ober the years things went from "so neat I can connect to people all over the world" to an online battleground in the span of a decade (arguably 2 decades, depending on your online experience). The convenience of keeping in touch with relatives/friends overseas and the wonderment of making friends online has become eclipsed by all the other things which have nothing to do with people being able to connect. If anything these big platforms have become all about (directly, indirectly, incidentally, regardless) gaming the divisions between people to push them apart and foment rifts they can profit from, at least that's how I see it and I am just done with all that.
Doesn’t make sense when it can never exist unless it grows on the road, regardless of which company you’re talking about, and also when it’s already statistically safer than humans. If your standard is “never ever again” then you either have to admit that you want all cars banned or that you’re wrong.

> Consciousness effects the mind/brain/body complex.

Or so it seems. It's entirely possible that consciousness is just post-factum rationalization of what the body did.

Have you noticed that sometimes you make a decision but don't do it, and sometimes you make a decision and do it?

There is a labor shortage not caused by covid but due to significant portion of the population retiring. We're missing 2 million workers from 2019. Biggest issue is that raising rates actually exacerbates the issue due to increased expense in investing in automation. From a society standpoint and an economic standpoint, people shouldn't be manually picking and packing things in a warehouse when we have automation that can drastically improve this. Businesses are to blame because labor was so cheap that they never invested in automation.

Easiest way to increase labor supply is to immediately increase the retirement age to 70. Welfare and retirement systems across the West are insolvent at current settings anyway.
To expand on that, NotePlan has beautiful daily note support, with built-in keystrokes for things like "go to yesterday's note", "go to tomorrow's note", or "move the currently selected action(s) to tomorrow's note (but keep a link back to today so that I can easily see the context in which those actions were originally written)".

Obsidian has fine support for automatically creating a correctly named note, optionally pre-populated from a template, but lacks all the extra niceties. That's not a failure on its part, just something that it doesn't do as nicely out of the box as NotePlan.

Very good article. I think ARTs are rather underappreciated - they have the same asymptotic complexity as hash maps, while having more predictable behaviour (no amortised assumptions).
Usually it's better to criticize in private and offer space for questions, but sometimes you need to shut down a behavior fast, eg. when someone is using offensive language around other employees. Saying "we don't do that here" is a great way to do that.
WIV-1 can directly infect humans. So did civit cats and racoon dogs give us SARS-1 or did we infect them (or backwards and forwards as in the case of SARS-CoV-2 and mink)?

If you go back a few months before the pandemic outbreak in humans and there's a zoonotic jump to civit cat and raccoon dogs then I don't think you can usefully call that the reservoir species. It existed and evolved for decades in bats, which I'd call the reservoir. The jump to the intermediate animal I'd consider to be part of the pandemic mechanism (unless you can find SARS-1 in samples from a decade previously in those animals).

[ And another way to say this is why do we bother calling out an "intermediate species" when discussing pandemics? ]
Needs way more variety, but I like it.
I got one of these a few months back at a vintage store for $15. The owner couldn't pay me to take it off his hands — he reduced the price from $20 as soon as I expressed interest.

It works wonderfully! Once I rounded up a ton of D-cell batteries...

It has the pull-behind trailer, which is a genius design. The hitch pin is also a TRS plug which transfers the signal from the tank to dump the trailer. It also allows the tank to do a complete 360 while towing, since the hitch reaches out and over, then down, to the center of the tank.

The whole thing is just a brilliant piece of engineering and represents, as far as I can tell, the first fairly affordable "AI" home toy.

Most of the other "Better C" languages never got the inertia to overcome C++ so that's not really a unique case. Go and Rust both had key organizational buy-in from large and culturally important orgs early on which is why they seem to have gotten roots down versus most others, and even Go took a fairly long time to see adoption outside of Google at least to my view of things.

With only a single or small group of evangelists for a language or platform, as soon as any of those aren't pushing it anymore, the entropy takes over.
Really? Which are those countries? If you never pay into public pension, how can you get a pension then?
All fiat currencies are backed by the USD. All commodities that matter are priced in USD. Countries must acquire USD to buy oil. Therefore we increase interest rates, makes USD-denominated debt harder to manage, increases demand for dollars, weakens other fiat currencies, dollar is strengthened.

What USA business can do now is swoop in and buy all foreign capital assets at pennies on the dollar. Go to Sri Lanka and buy whatever factories and industrial capacity they have. Emerging market crashes are great for the USD money printing country.
Right, that's why empiricism and the scientific method are so important. This is in the context of scientists being "invited to participate in the conversation or not", eh?

My immediate thought as well. Please tell me they have region-based phone prefixes with an easy to learn arrangement. Brasil has this and it's very helpful. This will change the game for sure. No more "Obviously Bangladesh".
I agree with the majority of your statement, but I would personally shy away from a specific "Monitored by company" sign, because I try to avoid advertising my security procedures. "Oh, they use Y instead of X? Guess I'll need to bring that other device, instead." I suppose a home owner could be really tricky, and just buy the sign for Y, but have a security system for X?

Oh! On a technical note, I was watching a TV show recently (Better Call Saul...?) where someone broke into a persons house undetected. When the home owner found the person and asked how they got in so easily, the person stated that they "Cut the phone line", and that was apparently all it took. Know if there's any truth to that?
But it's kind of awesome that they were trying to show how Will was feeling ignored, and the writers actually forgot that it was his birthday. It's delightfully meta.
It still depends on the organization size (or the size of the user base, or the complexity of the product). So you may only have experience with services where it was the right choice.

I did see two instances where it wasn't. (I mainly work with/for small companies, startups.) In one instance I was called in as a tech lead/expert for a small startup having a kind of a product/software crisis. They've been working on their service for a year or too (yes, way too long) and 2-3 months before the planned release at some random conference (Slush, TNW or whatnot) one of the developers figured out that the whole codebase was a piece of shit and there was no way they could be ready in time, but they should rewrite it as a collection of node microservices and that could work. The monolith they had was PHP, just to add to the fun, so switching over would mean switching languages too.

The guy, he was a smart and motivated chap, even started implementing one service in his free time, the user registration/user handling I think (the least important and least complex one, of course) which somehow screwed up the monotlith and made it start crashing. (Or so they said, I don't know what was up with that.)

Obviously, it was a 100% stupid idea and we went on with fixing their development process (starting to do scrum and teaching the stakeholders that they need to stop phoning the developers directly and asking for features, fixes, introducing automated testing, etc.) Oh, and it was a team of 2-2.5 people. (With the group manager doing some backend work too, but also managing another, totally unrelated project for another client.)

The other one was a bit different story, where I just shared my insights over a call. A guy I've known took over a project that was built by a small team (2-5 people, can't remember) for a startup and wanted some external opinion for himself and the founder. That one was built as a set of microservices but they did have all kinds of stability issues. The idea was that it had to be very-very-super scalable. Because, you know you launch and they will come and there's nothing worse than not being able to handle the load. Except, there is: they had been building the thing for over 2 years back then.

It was an online medical consultation solution (you describe your problem, pick a doctor, do a f2f call and pay by the time). The funny thing is that I've built a very similar system, as a startup cofounder, 3-4 years earlier for psychology consultation with the help of 2 other guys, who didn't even work full time (one of them came after the first one quit). The MVP was up in, I think, 2 maybe 3 months. Ours was a monolith-ish thing and theirs definitely looked better, maybe scaled better and would have been cheaper to operate at scale (we used an external service for the video calls). But ours was a lot cheaper to build and launch and we could test (validate) our solution a lot earlier with real customers.

If it worked out, we could have started breaking it down into multiple services as/if/when needed.
You know what is accessible on any browser that they could have done? Proper fragment links from HTML 1.x such as:

I think the point of publishing is mass distribution. The fact that it resulted in an immutable artifact and replication is just an outcome of the available technology.

Not to mention this happens all the time for "immutable artifacts". I bought a copy of the original "Shrek" book only to find it was massively different from the original and edited down to be more kid friendly. I'm sure there is some way to distinguish it by copyright date or ISBN number if you already have the knowledge the edit exists, but if most consumers don't know is it not basically the same result of memory-holing the original work as time goes on?
This doesn't work, when we tried this most recently all it did was increase stock buybacks by large corps. It's just effectively a wealth transfer to those already at the top of the food chain.

Getting huffy about Mr. Gioia's choice of language doesn't really engage with the substance of his complaint. Is there a stated Wikipedia policy that composers must have an entry in the Grove Dictionary of Music to be considered notable? I bet there isn't. If Gioia is correct in saying that Wikipedia editors are insisting on that, then those Wikipedia editors are applying an arbitrary standard.

They are, in a word, trolling.

And I am inclined to think calling them out is a good thing.
You are getting down voted for telling the truth. Every inflation discussion starts with the supply side economics or companies raising taxes, but inflation only happens in reality because of government spending, borrowing, and deficit spending.

I'm trying to be civil, but you keep making statements about the paper that are objectively not correct. Fig. 2(B) does not show "second stage cases (mostly reported around January and February)" as you posted earlier. The map from the Weibo analysis is not shown in the paper, so one can't "put[] the maps side by side". Moreover, it's irrelevant to claim that a Weibo analysis of second stage cases not shown in the paper is relevant to the interpretation of figures in the paper that are not limited to second stage cases.
