Obviously it's less free with tariffs than it would be without, but given the goals of the bill some level of interference is unavoidable. The question is whether to meet those goals with top-down central planning, or by tweaking the incentives and letting the market handle the details on its own. The latter is much more in keeping with free market principles than the former.

Undoubtedly this is a massive gift from taxpayers to Intel. Hard to see anything good in that.

I also agree that subsidizing R&D isn't a reliable strategy to make us more competitive. Government incentivizes to find solutions works much better.

BUT building high-end fabs is SO very capital intensive, that I think this actually could work out. This might actually be a case where the skids need to be greased a bit (to the tune of billions of dollars) to get them over the hump and back in the game.

> Although Argentines are used to high inflation, during the first semester of 2022, inflation hit over 36,2%, and in the last 12 months it registered a 64% increase.

Wikipedia notes:

> In 1956, Phillip Cagan wrote The Monetary Dynamics of Hyperinflation, the book often regarded as the first serious study of hyperinflation and its effects ... . In his book, Cagan defined a hyperinflationary episode as starting in the month that the monthly inflation rate exceeds 50%, and as ending when the monthly inflation rate drops below 50% and stays that way for at least a year. Economists usually follow Cagan's description that hyperinflation occurs when the monthly inflation rate exceeds 50% (this is equivalent to a yearly rate of 12874.63%).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation

So the current rate is far away from hyperinflation. On the other hand, it appears to be accelerating. And then there's this from a different article:

> Official CPI inflation figures released monthly by INDEC have been a subject of political controversy since 2007 through 2015. Official inflation data are disregarded by leading union leaders, even in the people sector, when negotiating pay rises. Some private-sector estimates put inflation for 2010 at around 25%, much higher than the official 10.9% rate for 2010. Inflation estimates from Argentina's provinces are also higher than the government's figures. The government backed up the validity of its data, but has called in the International Monetary Fund to help it design a new nationwide index to replace the current one.

One immediate problem is that some job applications could create ethical or social conflict problems. For instance, it could apply at the company you already work for, which you might think is easy to prevent, but it would be hard to prevent you from applying to subsidiaries, vendors you work closely with, etc.

At the very least the system would have to let you opt-out of applications.

I got let go by one company that had a very strange severance agreement that said I could be sued if I ever applied to work for them again!
You can infer it.

The most important thing is that major operations are not done in this market, obviously.

Also, bizarrely enough the location of all "cuevas" (which is what we call the physical places where the illegal market operates) are well known by the authorities and could be shut down if they so wished. So there is definitely that in favor of the "the government is corrupt" argument.

Plenty of comments on here suggesting WP relaxing/removing notability requirements: the problem is deeper.

WP could retain the exact notability requirements they currently have, as written, and still vastly improve the situation from the current mess. As it stands:

- mentions of any thing or person without a pre-existing article (by extension meeting notability requirements) are quickly deleted by fans of the frequently referenced "Write the Article First" essay[0]. While this essay is clearly labelled as an opinion piece, not policy, that opinion is staunchly defended by people with more time on their hands than you do.

- Any effort to follow the essay's advice and actually create a new article is quickly curbed: despite the notability requirements policies containing detailed sections on the benefits of "stubs" as prompts to grow useful article content, newly minted articles are summarily deleted if they are not perfect on first draft (and extremely comprehensively referenced).

When I first started contributing to Wikipedia almost 2 decades ago, these articles and similar debates between cohorts of "deletionists", etc. certainly existed, but what looks to have happened over the years is that the most progressive of those cohorts left, probably tired of constantly grappling with the hostilities of those with seemingly nothing better to do than to pour all of their hours into making Wikipedia their staunchly defended castle.

Becoming a new contributor to Wikipedia today involves a barrier to entry only zealots will bother to spend time overcoming.

I meant that they are trivially true in the sense that they, e.g.,

* restate the fed's mandate to keep to full employment

* say that the fed will consult many sources when it makes its verdicts (I should hope so!!)

* say that their verdict might change if they get new input or new guidance

Surely even a true dissident on monetary matters would still acknowledge that the fed's mandate says what it says?
I think one of the biggest things TikTok does is that it shows completely random videos from time to time. I often get videos with 0 views that were just randomly shown to me. So the platform actually has some randomness that can spontaneously find something interesting instead of having people build up a base first.
This article needs a liberal sprinkling of phrases like "my opinion is", "it is possible that", "one could speculate that" etc to counter all the shameless assertio-- oh, I see what she's done there.
It seems the greatest value of Wikipedia is consistently as a repository of citations. The reliance of moderation or review of those citations is the question.

EDIT: I hear complaints from students all the time that they are not allowed to cite Wikipedia. I tell them no you should instead cite the Wikipedia citations. They invariably tell me how much better they do academically because of that.
There is more nuance to some of these steps but roughly right.

It's very important to understand that this is a very important weakness of the monetary system in every country, and only countries with little political power are forced to austerity by larger powers (Greece, Argentina and the IMF, etc). Argentina is just a chronic abuser of foreign debt and money printing.

Consider that semiconductor fab has a very high barrier to entry in that the cost and time required to bring it online.

No company presently appears to be poised to build out significant domestic chipmaking capability as far as I know.

I believe that this is where subsidization makes sense, because if we wait for the free market to catch up to the shortfall in supply created by raising import costs, it will ultimately take longer to get the manufacturing capacity online.
>> We absolutely need to fund more semiconductor manufacturing. Losing that ability to China/Taiwan was just a terrible strategic mistake.

The correct solution to that is tariffs. That would hurt us short term and should have been done long ago before it would have been a problem. This will add to the debt pile, so it will be with us for a long time.
Can you support this? Could it be that their policy was bad but even bad policy couldn't stop the US, which spent WW2 turning into a manufacturing powerhouse while all its competition was getting leveled from the sky?

Maybe the production of useful goods and services lead to wealth, not policies formed by comittee.

Name a demographic that isn't wildly ignorant of things that are reasonable to know?

Who defines "reasonable"?

When you get delayed on a flight due to a maintenance issue, are you equipped to determine if that delay was reasonable? Most likely not, although many mechanically inclined people may be in a position to make that call. Those same people may not be in a position to arbiter the reasonableness of Google's ToS (side-stepping the whole obfuscation of details that was previously covered).

When society gets reasonably complex, we out-source those decisions. In the example of the aircraft, we have a regulatory body who makes the rules about what is reasonable. It wasn't always like that, of course, but the need grew out of the growing complexity and risk profile. So to your question and an earlier point, there may be room for regulatory bodies as an alternative for "how else can it work?".
> maybe solar thermal might be useful

https://www.e-education.psu.edu/eme811/node/682 “Minus field losses, the typical average overall efficiency of solar trough thermal plants is around 15-20%”. Your first sentence has an implicit contradiction! PV has efficiency of say 20%. I get that you are thinking about thermal storage, but the only sensible argument is overall economic costs, which you seem to be explicitly arguing against.

I think your core point is interesting. However overall your comment across to me as waffling and mixing in opinionated misinformation and fact. Perhaps make one major point, with a modicum of supporting information. Avoid random tangents. Your comment here in particular appears to me to be mish-mashing implicit economic arguments with other issues.

There are also companies (don't ask) I've encountered who appear to offer nothing but 3rd party branded kubernetes combined with a whole truckload of bullshit about how their product reduces your carbon footprint in the cloud. They reach out and attempt to partner with successful disadvantaged education programs for cheap interns and to add badges to their website.

for the life of me I looked into what exactly they were doing and I couldn't figure out what they actually offered. It appeared to be nothing except a collection of bullshit to extract funding under the guise of ESG.

I agree that they're "broken" in that they don't work the way I want them to - but they're functioning perfectly normally to maximize profit. I think TikTok kinda broke the dam on this and we see it in more apps now, but it seems like we've found out that people will spend more time on the app when you show them random new people based on their interests compared to showing them just the people they chose to follow.

I think the main solution to this would be some sort of public social media platform that isn't trying to be profitable. As long we we're requiring companies to prioritize profit we're not going to get outcomes that go against that

Look, nobody disputes that extremely bad policy can lead to hyperinflation - there are obvious cases of that.

But that doesn't mean that it is impossible to manage fiat money sensibly, or do QE responsibly without subsequent inflation. It is not fine to print money at will, but it is fine to run expansive monetary policy when warranted.

I don't know where to start with this comment.

a) Meta can be accused of so many things but failing to build new, ambitious products is not one of them. They are literally pivoting the company to AR/VR and betting the future of the company on it. Quest2 is a huge success and their demoed R&D work on new headsets looks genuinely exciting and innovative.

b) You are clearly ignorant of how product management works in a large company. Bookish engineers which you weirdly use as a slur are not solely responsible for inventing and releasing new products. And so if they hired people who had less understanding of how to write scalable code you wouldn't suddenly get better products.
Its not a failure of culture, it's Capitalism.
I think that's probably exactly it. I don't know whether the ad ratio is different, but you're just far more likely to see something new and interesting on TikTok vs scroll pass mountains of uninteresting or meh things until something comes along. I dunno in terms of where you'd see more ads and who knows you probably do see more ads in the low-reward boring app that you have to scroll forever on. But when your thumb is hovering between launching two apps, it's not rocket science where it's going to learn to land.

And I agree with the other commenter that TikTok is good at finding novelty in ways the other is not. Things like YouTube or whatever will just show you endless variations of the things you've already liked. TikTok will throw you things you like from way out of left field.
I got a reply asking why this is, which either got deleted or isn't showing up for some reason. The reason is, before nesting, you know based on context whether something is a selector or a declaration. Top level / inside a media query, it's a selector. Inside a selector, it's a declaration.

With nesting, but without the prefixed @nest, you have backtrack after arbitrarily many tokens if you see a & and need to switch from parsing a declaration to parsing a selector.

E.g.:

div {
div:hover div /* 4kb of div */ & { }
}

Note that the colon makes it a valid-looking declaration (property `div` and value `hover div...`), until you read all the way up to the &.
The thing is that mutability is a useful and common property used by most programmers. It takes a bit of buy in to be convinced immutability is a good thing that solves bugs. For example:

Here's a reasonable program to write in Python (wave hands here, my python is rusty)

queue = [root]
for node in queue:
if !node.visited:
# ... visit the node ...
node.visited = True
for child in node.children:
queue.insert(child)

Here's that in Rust.

let mut queue = VecDeque::new();
queue.push_back(root);

for node in &mut queue {
if !node.visited {
// ... visit the node ...
node.visited = true;
for child in &mut node.children {
queue.push_back(child);
}
}
}

This will not compile, at all. You need to do a lot of work to restructure the data structures in Rust to get that reasonable program to run soundly. Now that's a good thing, because this would be invalid in C/C++ too due to iterator invalidation and lifetime issues, but it's the kind of thing that people who haven't seen a block of code segfault due to a `push_back` before would be confused by.

It's rather rare for a programmer to need to learn about memory safety when compilers in managed languages just solve it for you, and in other systems languages they assume you already know it (or don't care that you can write unsafe programs).

There's just that additional conceptual burden when learning Rust and why programs that seem syntactically correct and safe are forbidden.

These are mature Big Tech companies. While they do empower engineers to innovate, they still task Product Managers with managing product, just like every other big company.

The product direction isn’t very related to the LeetCode interviews given to dev candidates. I think you might be missing the context for the entire product side of a company and their interview processes and incentives.

"Capitalism, God's way of determining who is smart and who is poor."

See also the "Medea Hypothesis" which proposes that organisms are generally suicidal at a population scale, destroying themselves and their own environment if left unconstrained.

Life's historical record alternates between extinction events and long periods of species-building. So in some ways we can see the Gaia and Medea tendencies as an cyclic pattern but not quite "homeostasis".

The important part is that "life begets life" but occasionally takes it away too. We tend to assume that complex life forms like mammals are inevitable but it's quite amazing we exist at all really, considering the thousands of other species and complex ecological support systems we require to survive. Break down that web of life and the earth would be dominated by bacteria and slime mold.

The makes me angry. We're capitalist to a fault as a country. This bill just further entrenches the US government as a consumer. If this actually was critical infrastructure there should be joint or full ownership of chip foundries by the US. No, this bill just allows the companies to pocket a bunch of money, release some press articles, and a few years after the fabs are built they'll be shutdown by the companies for profit reasons and chips production will shift back to being fully produced overseas by lower paid workers. Cue the next supply crunch in 20-40 years with us giving the industry even more money.
>inclusionists who want to add everything and exclusionists who want to delete everything

That's probably a bit B&W but a lot of people tend towards one side or the other. Part of it too also relates to the availability of secondary sources which are far more available for some domains than others. Even a fairly minor politician or entertainer has probably had quite a bit written about them by third parties. A senior executive even at a large global company? Very possibly not--especially if they pre-dated the internet.
