>Leveraged buying such as real estate is in GDP

Not really. Building new houses contributes to GDP, as does renovating it, but if you're buying an existing house the only part that contributes to GDP is the realtor/lawyer fees.

But for me it's a single player experience. I don't need to "engage" or "react" to anything. Yes, the videos are flashy and noisy, yet it never makes me feel envy, desire, regret as much as LinkedIn and Facebook do.
The BEAM is designed for a software architecture approach called OTP in the Erlang community -- it is designed around trees of process supervision. So there is an entire robust framework for reliability really built in as a primary concern for the BEAM.

+1 on the Hollywood trashing.

Whether something is a "good story" is hard to be objective about. It depends heavily on whether the actors sell it or not. Why do you say Slumdog is a poor story?

"Poor boy makes good" is the plot of a zillion movies and books. The audience knows going in that he's going to get rich and/or get the girl. It's how that either works or doesn't.
Likewise. Another common expression that may seem strange is referring to questions as "doubts".

> Swentzel was later awarded the Navy Cross for relentlessly pressing the attack against overwhelming odds. His actions were in accordance to the highest traditions of the United States Navy.

I never cease to be amazed of the performance of the US Navy in WW2. How did these "highest traditions" come about? America did not really fight naval battles in WW1. Before that they won a quick naval war against the Spanish in 1898, but arguably the Spanish were well behind technologically, in an era when technology was evolving by leaps and bounds.

In WW2 though, the US sailors were simply incredible. And the absolute majority of them (maybe 99.9%) did not have any prior combat experience. How did the US Navy turn from an inexperienced Navy into the most fierce-some naval force ever assembled in history?

And it's not just the industrial might of the US. Sure, in many encounters the US Navy just had more and better warships. But at least until 1943, there were plenty of encounters where it didn't, Midway being obviously the most famous.

There was something about the fighting spirit of the US Navy, but how did that get nurtured, considering that the US was a nation at peace?

I genuinely have no idea.

Yes, and give a financial base to begin remediation.

Your suspicions are unfounded here, given we already have a proven model pricing pollutants: https://www.nber.org/digest/feb16/cap-and-trade-sulfur-dioxi...

A tax is just more direct, even when subject to political cowardice.
I can't believe you would actually try this dead end argument. Let me guess, if somebody robs you tonight, they didn't commit a crime, they just violated a law that were passed by a group of people that punishes the impoverished who justified their actions.

That's a terrible outlook. You are saying that all negative feedback should be ignored by everybody and treated as a positive sign. This is insane.
I mean, I’ve said it before: you can only discover electrons once. Same thing with chemistry and the laws of thermodynamics. Those are one time discoveries.

This is one of the reasons i think the stock market is utterly insane right now- they think that 1) the super exponential rise in prices in recent years is derived from real value and not just a big dumb bubble, even though productivity, energy use, population, etc have hardly budged, 2) that the super exponential rise in stock prices will continue forever even without any corresponding change in the real world economy which is so deranged it’s basically lucid dreaming, and 3) that the state or the federal reserve can somehow defy reality and keep the gravy train going forever no matter what happens.

Yeah, sorry but no.

A lot of the political malaise we’re seeing right now is the result of the unstoppable force of the basic American story of endless victory running into the immovable object of base objective reality. A very significant portion of the public simply cannot accept that the party is over. So they have to find scapegoats (trans people, liberals) for the problem. This allows them to continue to not see reality. It’s not great.
My experience of papers that went to top tier journals is that the peer reviews were detailed, interesting and clearly from people who knew what they were talking about. They were also somewhat harsh and demanding.

It is almost certainly the case that these reviewers would not expend the same effort on a platform like this. They review papers in Nature etc becuase they feel that they are participating in something important, at the cutting edge of science. They also, somewhere along the line, feel that doing such reviews will improve their chances of publishing there. Additionally Nature will offer some reviewers the chance to write an editorial about the article they reviewed. These are strong incentives that successfully coerce busy people. How will you replicate this?

What can happen with these open peer review platforms is that they attract 'hyperreviewers' of dubious quality. This can be seen with publons. Look at the top ranked peer reviewer there: https://publons.com/wos-op/researcher/1217819/kaveh-ostad-al..., who apparently reviewed 1352 articles in 2021. Perhaps this person is actually carefully reviewing 5 articles every working day of the year... then again perhaps not.
Early versions of JSON supported // comments. As Crockford tells the story, they were removed because folks were using them for pragma, leading to interoperability issues, and because several parser authors working in languages other than Javascript reported surprising levels of complexity when implementing comments.

My point being; aspects that seem like irritating omissions now, may have been editing decisions instrumental in the overall adoption of the standard.
You could pay them, say, 3x the 20th percentile salary.

(I'm not sure it's _civil servants_ this sort of thing should be considered for. They don't make the decisions and there's little a civil servant can do that will change what the 20th-percentile person gets paid. It would make more sense for politicians.)

I suspect that if each member of Congress got a $10M reward for bringing homicide rates to 2019 levels, the result would be legislation that redefines homicide or changes how it's reported or something of the kind, rather than anything that actually involves fewer people killing one another.

These $400 class-actions are more and more common nowadays. I personally know two people, two different settlements with huge corporations, who got a paycheck to that tune.

You won't hear much about these because sharing the terms of the settlements usually break it. (Or so I'm told.)
I was being sarcastic — but genuinely thank you.
This is a just-so story, presented without evidence. No matter who gets elected --- even a Republican! --- you could claim that a shadowy web of deep-state progressives were undermining the rulemaking process. I made a specific claim: that progressives get roflstomped in Democratic primary elections. A fantasy football debate about the Democratic party that exists in our respective minds might be fun, but it won't get us anywhere, so I elect not to participate.

Upthread, I pointed out that in contrast to the Democratic party, the fringiest, least-defensible elements of the Republican party control the party. That's true! But it's also a dumb argument, and not one I'd want to have to make outside of zinging Rayiner for pretending Biden is a defunder. Just because a bunch of batshit crazy people run the Republican party (or a bunch of out-and-proud racist authoritarians with the Libertarian party) doesn't mean you can't reasonably be a member of either party; in fact, supporting those parties are the only way they'll change.

So the whole thing is pretty dumb, and we'd be better of discussing the ideological movements themselves (progressivism, America-first nationalism, or, in the case of the Libertarian party, fascism) than the parties.
>Branding it as “identity theft” is a strategic move by the industry to attempt to move liability from themselves onto their customers, labelling them as the victim.

Except nobody seriously thinks that if someone "stole" their identity, that they're on the hook for the fraudulent loans. The consumer is one of the victims here, in the sense that they have to go through the hassle to have the issue resolved.
Many Asians aren’t well off. In 1989, Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians had similar to higher poverty rates than African Americans, because they came here as refugees: https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1990/.... For Cambodians it was dramatically higher. Today, Vietnamese and Laotians have lower poverty rates than the national average, and Cambodians are only modestly higher.

I’m Bangladeshi, and we are about 20 years behind in that curve. Still higher poverty rates than average (90% immigrated after 2000), but moving rapidly toward parity. Also, being upper class in “old country” doesn’t mean coming here with money. My family was upper class in Bangladesh. But a Bangladeshi college degree is worthless here. My dad came here with a job from a US company, but we were the exception. Most of my aunts and uncles work retail and service jobs.

> If my movement and activities will be restricted then it is full employment/utilization, not some quasi-employment or utilization.

I feel like this is a very absolutist statement that does not look at the actual nuance of the situation. I could maybe agree that a 5min response time (like Google Search or Google Ads SREs go through) could be argued to be "work" (although I honestly don't think so), but I don't quite agree with the definition you are using to define "full employment/utilization".

Assuming I have to show up at the office every morning at 8am, this is basically saying that my employee is restricting my "movement and activities" outside work hours because if I can't get to the office in time by 8am then it means I am not free to do whatever I want off work. If I wanted to go to Hawaii the same morning as I'm expected to show up at work, and have no ability to get back to the office in time for my shift, does that mean that my employer is restricting my freedom of movement hence I should be compensated for it?

No, obviously not, that would be ridiculous.
A general trend in economics has two sides.

Side A is the irritating number of amateur economics players (me!) and the desire to engage in this topic, because its both fascinating and important

Side B is the extent of "you're wrong" put downs from either other amateurs, or professionals, which is entirely understandable given that the Side A players make collossal mistakes, but which also masks the divides in economic theory: Some people are pretty partisan in the trench warfare across the battlezones here.

So it's foolish to bring maths to the table, because you will be faceplaned by anyone who prefers more complex maths, or who wants to nitpick your maths, or who wants to attack your school of philosophy because they stand on a different hilltop.

Does it mean "mistakes" are acceptable? No. But people can be a bit kind about it, because in the end, we're all talking about the same thing.

Well.. mostly. Not me. I'm stuck in the labour theory of value. all this money stuff is just nonsense.
>Companies pay some small amount relative to profit so they can’t be sued by anyone in the class action again.

No, that doesn’t exit anything.
“There are two sorts of wealth-getting, as I have said; one is a part of household management, the other is retail trade: the former necessary and honorable, while that which consists in exchange is justly censured; for it is unnatural, and a mode by which men gain from one another. The most hated sort, and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural object of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of an modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural.”

- Aristotle, Politics.

Some may be surprised to learn that this is a very old idea. Yet so much of modern life is based upon it in some way. It would be interesting to hear what Aristotle would think about a mortgage or a used car loan.

Anyway, I, and I think most people, would agree with your sentiment here. Generally speaking CC usage when you don’t already have the means or stand to gain nothing from it is a bad idea.

Skip lists in practice are faster than balanced binary trees in insertion, since rebalancing is slow, while insert and delete in a sl are very fast (if you have a fast source of random or pseudorandom numbers). Skip list insertion is also very easily to parallelize.
Insert on a bbt requires locking basically the whole tree.
Laptop: MacBook Pro 15" Mid-2014, 1 x 2.8GHz 4c i7-4980HQ, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD + 512GB SDCard

Desktop: Dell Precision 7920 2 x 2.9GHZ Xeon 6226R, 192GB RAM, 2TB SSD

VM host: MacMini 2018, 1 x 3.2GHz 6c i7-8700B, 64 GB RAM, 1TB SSD

NAS: QNAP TS-451+, 1 x 1.9GHz 4c Celeron J1900, 8GB RAM, 8TB HDD

The laptop is old, but it's solid and has the decent keyboard, and I haven't _needed_ to replace it yet, and I can't bring myself to spend the $5k a decent replacement will cost. One day.

The desktop was paid for by my employer. It's a beast. Not what I would have bought, but ... it's pretty good for big C++ project builds. It has two 30" Dell monitors too.

The VM host lets me run macOS, Windows, and Linux VMs. Renting Mac/Windows VMs is expensive, so I ended up with this instead. Very happy with how it worked out.

The NAS just has a mirrored pair of 8TB drives (one Seagate, one Western Digital). I do BTRFS snapshots onto a 16TB backup drive, which gets removed and swapped off-site once a month. I need to grow this: I'll probably put the backup drives into the NAS, and get a pair of bigger backup drives.
Reading the comments here, it seems to me that the problem is more that we don't illustrate these types of concerns correctly. I mean we don't bother with pictures, animations and simple stories, but instead argue over too simple or too complex statistics. I love math but it's not an effective way to communicate important ideas. All the discussions here are discussions about statistics minutiae and arguing about that will never change anything.

If a US resident (citizenship is irrelevant) buys Chinese goods, the money spent does not contribute to US domestic production, income, or expediture. The income they use to pay for the goods is based on domestic production / expenditure.

I don't think anyone is arguing that people oncall shouldn't be compensated extra. It's obvious that you should be compensated for being oncall, it would be criminal not to do so in my opinion.

The difference is that it's not full time employment compensation, because you're not working your normal work expectations.

I love who you find on HN.

Thanks so much for Spectre, it's one of my absolute favourite games from my school days. I couldn't count the number of times we got after-school detention for sneaking into the Macintosh labs at lunch time to play Spectre. We taught ourselves to pick the lock on the lab door then locked ourselves in and played with the volume right down, usually only getting in trouble because of us laughing and egging each other on.

It's one of the big things that got me into computers in the first place, and holds a special place in my heart. Everyone else geeks out over SNES nostalgia but we were absolutely Spectre teens.
It's not really though. Remember the famous dropbox reply?

HN isn't like IndieHackers or Twitter. Not all ideas/wordle clones are good and worthwhile. HN allows criticism against crypto projects, twitter, any meta products, etc.. so why not this logic puzzle game? It is not against the rules to say "the idea lack any originality. Thousands of games are like this exist". There's no further critique necessary.
