In effect they are. When you gain the stimulus money from progressive taxes but return the money in a relatively flat (less progressive) way (like $X dollars for everyone meeting a fairly common threshold) then the velocity of the money changes. When goods/service/estate remains equal, change in velocity and change in money printed both have the inflationary/deflationary response.

The US has shattered record numbers of migrants crossing the southern boarder every month for over a year.

> "You seem to have a problem with the process being non-traditional,"

Really? Because that's not what I said.

You can't change a process - especially not a medical one for 100s of millions of people - and then say "We're 100% certain of this. This is all new. There are no long term side effects. And if you think or say otherwise, we will cancel you."

Anyone who knows even a bit of history - medical or otherwise - and is comfortable with that is a either naive, or on the take.

To clarify, I don't have a problem with an non-traditional process. That being said, the way the process was "sold" set off my BS detector too many times. The two are disconnected to a fault.

For example, there's this:

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/07/13/1111137...

Long to short, we've had "OMG the variants..." repeated over and over, how important the jab is to that, and then how in a worldwide pandemic the threat of variants can come from anywhere.

Yet, 2 docs in Brazil have to invent their own vax? And promise to give it away? While USA Big Pharma...does what??? counts their money? Because variants aren't a threat? See?

Again, complete disconnect. Disconnect that no one should be comfortable with.

I suppose I should have been clearer: The submission is on how to get fzf behavior in Emacs without using the various fzf related packages for Emacs.

fzf is cross platform.

Presumably the fzf packages for Emacs are cross platform, but I haven't checked. If any of them are, then I can have the same setup for Windows and Linux (I use Emacs on both).

With this solution, I'd need to have a different script in Windows and Linux (I don't use WSL - Emacs works quite well without it). So by cross platform, I meant "Copy config from one platform to another and just have it work".

Owner-occupied is kind of a special case, too, because you've got to live somewhere. You could be paying $X to rent, or $X+Y as a mortgage plus upkeep, so the additional "investment" you're making is just $Y. In some cases rents are so high that, especially if you stay in one place a long time, you're actually paying $X-Y to own, so there's a positive return every month in addition to the equity you're accruing. Yeah, this is a horribly broken system, but it does seem to be how things work.

Food is the easiest of everything mentioned. You just send them with enough food to last a while, and then send more

> But within those 53 years we've grown food in space

No, we've grown it in small controlled environments that are in space. We do not regularly grow crops in space to feed astronauts. The spatial requirements are too large to do it on the ISS.

> a far less hospitable environment than the Moon and especially Mars, and even achieved a few other useful things along the way as well.

They're pretty much equally hostile. On the moon the ground is super toxic dust. Mars doesn't really have soil like The Martian suggests. You might be able to make it work but again, not without a huge controlled environment.

> It won't be easy of course, but it's entirely possible. And has been for decades. Wernher von Braun, architect of the Apollo program, was the first individual to lay out technical plans for the colonization of Mars.

The only way we 'colonize' mars is by shipping them an absurd amount of crap and commit to the fact that they will do nothing productive aside from not dying there. They won't be able to farm. They won't be able to build domes or underground lairs. They'll sit in their starship heavies to hide from radioactive death beams and eat prepackaged food while a solar panel outside keeps the lights on.

Let's look at von Braun.

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

> In his introduction to The Mars Project, von Braun stated that his study was not yet complete. He said that he had omitted the details of some topics that would need to be addressed further, including the eccentric orbit of Mars, interplanetary astronavigation, meteor showers, and the long-term effects of spaceflight on humans.[2]

> There are other shortcomings in The Mars Project that von Braun could not have anticipated in 1948. He had not planned on any uncrewed exploratory missions to Mars taking place before the first human expedition, and he had not foreseen the technological advances that would take place, or the development of robot spacecraft.[4] It was not until 1965 that the uncrewed Mariner 4 spacecraft found that the density of the Martian atmosphere was only one tenth of what had been estimated, making it clear that the huge winged gliders planned by von Braun would not have had enough lift to be able to descend safely onto the surface of Mars.[1] The danger of high energy solar and cosmic radiation beyond low Earth orbit was not known in 1948. The Van Allen radiation belts were not discovered until 1958, and von Braun did not plan for the protection of the crews from such radiation, whether in space or on the Martian surface.[1]

> Oh what a world.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. In what world do you live in where someone can violate the sanctity of your home with impunity and you find that to be an acceptable outcome? Boundaries in society are ultimately always enforced with death as the final arbiter. You can put as many layers of abstraction as you want between that type of enforcement and the action that leads to it as you want, but it's always there.
Do you consider it trivial and common to use the word "gay" as a pejorative? (If so, that may say something.) Not "gay" as in "Fred is gay."

From the article: "The college I attended was small and very LGBT friendly. One day someone came to visit and used the word “gay” as a pejorative, as was common in the early 2000s. A current student looked at the visitor and flatly said, “we don’t do that here.” The guest started getting defensive and explaining that they weren’t homophobic and didn’t mean anything by it. The student replied, “I’m sure that’s true, but all you need to know is we don’t do that here.” The interaction ended at that point, and everyone moved on to different topics. “We don’t do that here” was a polite but firm way to educate the newcomer about our culture."

It’s strange that’s how it came across to you.

The difference compared to your analogy is that Telegram’s self‐rolled crypto is a problem many messengers don’t have, and it can’t be mitigated by the client.

Whereas the possibility of malicious things being done on Signal’s server end is a problem shared by every messenger, and Signal works hard to mitigate this by pushing smarts like contact handling entirely to the client side.

I also don’t see why you brought up “owning your own data.” I already discussed that the same “don’t trust external servers” axiom applies to self‐hosted federated systems as well.

It isn’t.
Lookahead is how many tokens the parser needs to see before it can make a decision what branch it is in and start ingesting those tokens properly.

In `& color:hover` you've got at least four tokens (making some basic assumptions about how the tokenizer works and ignoring whitespace):

1 &
2 color
3 :
4 hover

In this case you've got that `&` in the first token and the parser knows what to do with that (only appears in nesting scopes). (No lookahead needed.)

In the case of `color:hover &` the situation reverses:

1 color
2 :
3 hover
4 &

Tokens 1/2/3 are ambiguous (could be a property:value or could be tag selector:state) and it isn't until token 4 that it becomes obvious that it must be a nested selector because that & token is the disambiguator. So here you need a lookahead of 4 tokens just to disambiguate.

The problem is "unbounded" because the way selectors and values work they can be arbitrarily long. You can have "long property values". This doesn't make a lot of sense in current CSS, but is a valid property value assignment:

color:hover, tt, .frankenstein, p;

This is a possible (weird) nesting:

color:hover, tt, .frankenstein, p & { }

The number of tokens needed to lookahead is "unbounded" because you can keep adding tokens to that weird property value or to the nesting example with no clear limit.

You cannot even get it with Rust/WinRT straight out of Redmond, let alone having hopes to get it on Linux.

C++/WinRT tooling is a shadow of C++/CX capabilities (which feels like Microsoft's C++ Builder), and while the same folks are having fun with Rust/WinRT, its tooling is even worse.

I doubt that in five years it will be any close to what C++/CX was already doing in 2015.

Specially since they outsource any graphic tooling responsabilities to the DevDiv folks.
> We need to massively cut corporate taxes, investment taxes, regulations, and all manner of things to increase supply.

Supply is low due to a global pandemic disrupting trade (and far too many companies relying on 'just-in-time' logistics).

"Massively [cutting] corporate taxes" won't do anything but bolster already soaring corporate profits. A significant amount of that money won't go back into the local economy. It also won't go to improving infrastructure, processes, employee salaries or anything that can improve resiliency or longevity; they've been penny-pinching for decades, and this is the result of it.

Furthermore, 'inflation' of many necessities like grocery, gas, and rent is obviously driven by blatant profiteering.

Sometimes there's an incentive for a government, or voter base, to not learn their lessons.

Using US examples because those are the ones I'm most familiar with, just look at how long there's been a "housing crisis" due to insufficient housing in some US cities. There's been plenty of time to fix it, but policy changes just nibble at the edges. Why? Because some people don't want to fix it, or don't care, or there are some downsides to fixing it properly.

Similarly, the US has a high rate of traffic fatalities among developed nations. The fixes for this are well understood, but they involve tradeoffs or design changes that many people do not want. (The US is getting better at safe road/street design, but very slowly)

There are three alternativies when supply is short:

1) Increase prices until demand matches supply.

2) Price controls, usually leading to empty shelves.

3) Rationing.

1 is preferrable in 99% of cases. 2 is always the worst. 3 is needed during extraordinary times, such as when a country is in an all-out war.

> They're just two single-nucleotide polymorphisms apart

The problem with that argument, is that it doesn't explain the polytomies and is misleading, as you accuse Worobey of being.

"Just a few SNPs" is disingenuous and glosses over the usefulness of this evidence that almost everyone agrees on - eg, that it's highly unlikely that lineage B evolved from lineage A. (Even Jesse Bloom agrees on this.)

It may take a bit to find consensus on the dual-zoonosis theory and related phylogenetics, but the eagerness with which people dismiss this issue drives me nuts.

> the stated inflation rate is 2% even though the 8% is locked in

This is how numbers work? Also, the statistic is a price index. Inflation is calculated off those indices. And most contracts considering inflation link to price levels, not their deltas.

To the degree there is fuckery it’s in how the media reports inflation. One or two arcane statistics are taken as a barometer of reality in every state, for every product, across income levels.

It's not just the government. There's a broader problem, including unpayable loans from the IMF, lack of dollars leading to restrictions, some things are traded in dollars since our last dictatorship (e.g. real estate) and this is difficult to change, and widespread speculation of our agricultural sector (one of the most powerful groups in Argentina).

Also: the black market of dollars is relatively small and also easily manipulated, but generates panic in people's minds.
