A reasonable definition of recession is "you can't find a job", but, not only are we in the middle of a labor shortage, traditional good-economic-times like unionization are ramping up, and people are successfully demanding raises (and some households are voluntarily moving to single incomes).

On the other hand, the stock market is down this year, so if that's your definition, things are dire.

Honestly, this seems like stagflation to me, which has been historically known for breaking the definition of "recession".

Neither side wants to say that out loud, because it implies a decade-plus economic funk.

Hasn't the economy always been part of a political stance? The economy is one of the top 2/3 factors that people consider when voting, hence being important for re-election. It would be in the best interest of anyone trying to run for election to strategically paint a good/bad picture of the economy. This has been the case probably going back to the 1930s if I were to guess.
> Is it your position then that since the developers had neutral intent, therefore the algorithms do not need to be adjusted?

No, my position is that since the developers had neutral intent, it is defamation to claim that these algorithms purposefully amplify toxic content.
> Is it a filesystem limitation for 9999 files, or an actual Mac OS bug?

Wikipedia claims that exFAT supports 2,796,202 files per directory. So to me that reads like some sort of filesystem driver bug. Either the camera isn't following the exFAT spec correctly and by chance both Windows and Linux happen to tolerate that behaviour and macOS doesn't, or conversely there's some sort of bug in the macOS exFAT implementation.

You'd hope that in that situation Fuji would have double-checked its exFAT implementation, so maybe it is indeed a macOS bug?

Why?
The global climate/fossil CO2 situation is returning the planet to conditions last seen about 3-5 million years ago, at present. There was no ice age cycle at that time, and sea levels were perhaps 16-17 meters higher than today (of course, during ice age maximums, sea levels fell several hundred meters relative to present). CO2 levels in this period (the Pliocene) were comparable to current period, somewhat above 400 ppm. The Arctic was largely ice-free, and the tropical warm pool in the oceans expanded northwards:

(2019) "Constraints on global mean sea level during Pliocene warmth"
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1543-2

(2013) "Ice-Free Arctic in Pliocene, Last Time CO2 Levels above 400 PPM"
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ice-free-arctic-i...

However, we've already pulled the trigger, as CO2 levels are already above 400 ppm and thus, adaptation to the new conditions is absolutely required. This will require a huge redirection of civilizational resources over the next century. It would also make sense to eliminate the source of the problem, fossil fuel use, from the energy mix. Coal use has increased and is now pretty steady around 7.5 billion tons a year globally at present, and every oil & gas operator's long-term plans include maintaining current production levels for the next 30 years. This translates into a growth rate of atmospheric CO2 of about 2.5 ppm per year over the next 30 years, so about 490 ppm in 30 years can be expected.

Today's climate won't equilibrate temperature-wise with today's atmospheric CO2 forcing for at least 100 years, and sea level rise will likely continue for many centuries after that. Now, would it be possible globally to phase out fossil fuels and replace with renewables at a reasonable rate, say 1-3% per year (complete replacement in ~30-100 years)? Yes. Is there any interest in doing this in any major fossil-fuel producing country? No.

Humans, we must conclude, are rather stupid monkeys that are socially incapable of long-term planning, and would rather fight wars over control of diminishing resources than coordinate their activities to preserve those resources.
for a true democracy, all voices must be equal, and no single voice of a private entity can be allowed to have more reach than any other.

for that, any media that is designed to amplify some voices over others would have to cease.

one way to help with that would be by disconnecting ideas from the people who shared them so that good ideas can be shared and discussed without creating leaders that people will be compelled to follow. (imagine if hackernews discussions would not show any usernames, so you would not know who said anything, and any message would have to stand on its own. i believe this would work because practically, i rarely notice who the parent posters that i respond to are, unless we start a longer discussion thread with the same few people. moderators would still see usernames, so they could identify spam accounts.)

this of course completely contradicts the personality cult that is made out of current leadership.

I'm not burned out and would in fact love a part-time/freelance gig (I mainly do C/C++ and python but wear many hats)... however I'm completely unsatisfied with the current options for finding such work because it always seems like a race to the bottom against less skilled candidates from other countries who will always undercut your pricing and the companies never seem to care.

We have a well established definition for what a recession is, and none of it has to do with anecdotes or political grudges.
Im not sure I follow your argument.

>All things being equal, more people working is a an increase in buying power.

This isnt an absolute. If you have 1 person working for $1/day and go to 2 people for $0.5/day, buying power hasn't changed.

You can have more people working, and people working longer, for less and less material goods.

I think any meaningful definition of economic growth/recession must address the fundamental question of is there more material goods and wellbeing in a country today than yesterday.

I agree that the allocation of those goods is a separate question entirely.

>This is the result of massive, global macroeconomic forces. It's basically a slow reset of the post-WWII global order.

I think that what we are seeing is the start of a realization that part of historic GDP growth was actually a fiction, in that more tangible goods were not produced.

This is why a small increase in wages sent inflation through the roof.

In theory, US real GDP per capita has gone up 33% since 2000[1]. This looks fine on paper as long as the growth is just accumulating in a bank account. Once people actually try to consume more, it becomes obvious that there isn't 33% more stuff to buy.
In my own life over the course of twenty years I went from: living in a tent with 3 others for a year, to a one bedroom apartment with a roommate in the living room, to an apartment with just my wife, to buying a house and starting a family, to then buying a house with a pool and sending my kids to decent schools.

The point is that rice and beans is temporary. As a worker, I continued to work towards better employment that provided the life I required. The vast majority of folks I knew along the way did the same. All 4 of the folks in that original tent with me are comfortably middle class nowadays.
The argument is verb independent and thus wrong.

What about killing for sport or beastiality.

Asserting that existence is better than oblivion is nonsensical. Adding up fake utility values is bad logic.
You state below that the requirement for cases to be linked to the market was removed after only a few days. Is it possible that all 120 "unlinked" cases were in fact identified within those few days?

Removal of a claim of "dispositive" evidence isn't weakening the case; there could be further incontrovertible evidence that would make the present evidence no longer dispositive.

I've accidentally wandered onto a film set before. When it's in a public space it's not always obvious what's going on or that you shouldn't be there. I had no idea why a generally quite busy part of town was almost entirely devoid of traffic that day. There were no clear signs or ways for me to know what was going on until I talked to a random guy and he told me.

Perhaps your ability to detect and understand context is simply vastly superior to mine.

The Sahm Rule real time recession indicator, which has been a pretty accurate indicator of recessions since the '60s, is saying that we've come out of the pandemic-induced recession, and not yet started a new one.

Just to try to provide a little more context on this.

This was in the wake of an unprecedented heatwave. The all-time record high temperature was set that day, and even though this was set in a different part of the country from where Caledonian Sleeper usually runs through, the unusually high temperatures covered a very wide area of the UK.

While trains can run without issue in these kinds of temperatures in other countries, the temperatures we saw over those two days exceeded the operational window much of the British network was designed and built for.

It looks like there were massive Overhead Line problems on the route the Sleeper normally takes (the West Coast Main Line), and it was too late to try to divert onto the alternative line the Sleeper uses (the East Coast Main Line). Although, the ECML was arguably faring worse at the time! These are the only two lines the Sleeper can use to get south.

On board the Caledonian Sleeper, you can fill in a breakfast card with items you want the next morning, but notably this card also includes options about being informed or not about disruption. So if you really want to be woken up en-route to be told about late running or cancellation, there should have been the option to do so for those whose priority is on-time running to London (versus those who are more flexible or less worried about their arrival time). It's not clear in this case whether the person from TFA used this option, or if they did and the process broke down in some way.

In retrospect it was probably foolhardy for CS to advise their customers that things would be running when so much around them was figuratively crashing to the ground. Ideally they would have pre-cancelled and allowed customers to make their own plans, which could have included using the train as a hotel overnight, as happened anyway.

Most train operators in the UK, including Caledonian Sleeper, operate a scheme called Delay Repay, which refunds users who start their journey and end up at their destination late. Terms differ per operator, e.g. some only pay out in circumstances that are their fault, some only pay out after 30 minutes of lateness. In this instance, Caledonian Sleeper start refunds after 30 minutes of delay, for any reason. So at least the overnight stay at Glasgow would have been free of charge!

It points to developer apathy. I sometimes wonder if that's just the global feeling at the moment. Everyone that's working on widget X suddenly doesn't care because of all the crises going on. Rampant inflation, extreme inequality. By continuing to work on widget x they are just supporting more of the same. Think people want society to change a bit before moving forward with being happy.
What really resonates with me is not focusing on results. Reminds me of Ira Glass' take on creative work:

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, and I really wish somebody had told this to me.

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But it's like there is this gap. For the first couple years that you're making stuff, what you're making isn't so good. It’s not that great. It’s trying to be good, it has ambition to be good, but it’s not that good.

But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you're making is kind of a disappointment to you. A lot of people never get past that phase. They quit.

Everybody I know who does interesting, creative work they went through years where they had really good taste and they could tell that what they were making wasn't as good as they wanted it to be. They knew it fell short. Everybody goes through that.

And if you are just starting out or if you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Do a huge volume of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week or every month you know you're going to finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you're going to catch up and close that gap. And the work you're making will be as good as your ambitions.

I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It takes awhile. It’s gonna take you a while. It’s normal to take a while. You just have to fight your way through that.

Not a surprise. When senior devs leave an org due to mismanagement or other reasons, it creates more work for those left behind. And it's become extremely difficult to find replacement for the seniors that left.

Senior devs are nowhere to be found through regular applicant pipelines. They seem to be leaving as a result of reaching out to friends/former colleagues.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the statement, but this is a biased-as-hell source for this statement given that LaunchDarkly's product is feature-flag-management (to minimize deployment errors).
Unemployment doesn't account for people not actively seeking work, which is on the rise.

Correct. And yet they let inflation get this bad, so it seems like they're trying to avoid recessions even though they haven't been told to.
Accidents happen, and I am not perfect too. I live in a city where film sets in public spaces are an (almost) everyday thing, so I also wandered into a film set few times. But I'd never do it on purpose - when you meet them at a bar you'll see they really do work hard, and that random strangers at the set are a really big problem they face daily.

The area did not seem to be closed off so obviously I went in to take a closer look. I was probably there for around 30 minutes or so until someone finally asked me if I was part of the crew and then kindly asked me to leave which I did.

to support your statement that unemployment is a lagging indicator -- very random observation of rural Carolinas annual horse roundup and sale. They keep and publish records of a traditional county horse auction there, and the 2006-2010 years are listed. You can see a big change in the prices among these relatively unconnected people and their auction, but it is lagging by two years versus the massive credit crunch that put so many high-leverage city companies out of business.
Or "cha-ching!"
It is huge by the people they are supposed to govern standards though. It would be a raise to virtually everyone except the top 1% of people in terms of household income. They also receive top of line medical care and retirement benefits in addition to the salary. The salary isn't preventing poor people from becoming elected officials.
Serverless – simplify your challenge in the cloud
That would simply be PR or friendly copy. The implementation of nudge in your example would be to create the "discount" itself to push more people to pay taxes on time. Even then, in your example everyone already understands and agrees with the rules of "pay a fee for being late" because it's such a common practice and is rational.

Nudges don't need to be rational - at least not directly. They need to push people to do what you want them to do to attain some opaque goal.

Similar to dark patterns, nudging is not about creating reasonable guides for people to follow, it's about making them feel less contempt for being shoehorned into taking actions they'd otherwise prefer not to. Maybe people don't want to pay taxes, but the proverbial "we" decided long ago that taxes are a necessity to maintain the state and so we punish people with prison time for cheating on them. In nudging, "we" don't choose anything, the institution quietly forces our hand without any democratic process.
