COVID money also came with lockdowns, which reduced spending and thus delayed inflation. It also naturally takes time for inflation to travel from assets to commodities to consumer goods.

Furthermore there was no justification for raising prices other than "there's now a lot more money floating around, it's a free market baby".

Citizens wouldn't accept that, especially as most of them didn't get much richer from COVID money (mostly only asset owners did). But they can accept inflation when it's "caused" by a war instigated by a foreign dictator villain.
I have a girlfriend who believes herself to be on the autism spectrum, and I cannot over years ever recall her admitting that she was wrong or apologizing at any time for anything. We do get along despite that, but I was kind of hoping for insight.
I don't think anyone can possibly take the guy seriously after he wrote _The End of History_. What an absolute joke of a hot take that was.

That depends on where you are. We're in a Ting area, no signs of Google Fiber here. Ting is still a bit out since our development isn't completely sold yet, so we're stuck with Spectrum until then.

The DE being lower status thing is precisely due to the rebranded DBA comment I made. It's no different than how the term "DevOps" was coopted by sys admins rebranding themselves with a hipper title. And we're starting to see the same thing with SRE being used by QA folks seeking a similar rebranding.

As an applicant it's hard to figure out which form of Data Eng, DevOps, SRE the company practices and is seeking. As a company, it's hard to communicate your interpretation of the terms.

IMO at least with DevOps one tell is if they consider it to be a role and not a philosophy, they probably are using it to mean sysadmins.

I’ve thought a lot about this and discussed with a lot of people. One thing I’ve learned is that people have widely varying different internal experiences forming thoughts and speaking them. What works for one person may or may not work at all for another.

For example, consider the adage to “think before you speak.” Some people have told me this is exactly what happens, they internally say something to themselves, edit if needed, then say it out loud. Other people don’t do this at all or say they can’t do it, that they don’t know what they’re going to say until they hear it come out.

The way I think about learning difficult skills, try to find people who do the skill well and try to copy them. If possible ask them about how they do it and see if you gain any insight. But know that most people do most things by instinct, so you have to find someone who is a lot like you and went on a similar journey to learn the skill the hard way, otherwise it’s unlikely they’ll be able to teach you how to do it.
I don't get people like you. You're saying that on one hand, McDonald's raises prices unreasonably high because they are greedy. But on the other hand, you're saying that other corporations are not eating up McDonald's market share with lower prices because... why? Because those other corporations are not greedy, and just want to help McDonalds out?

Laundering clean money is generally actually legal (subject to otherwise obeying relevant laws, and not trying to defraud people).

For example, if somebody who owns several private businesses, including one that people frown upon but that makes them a lot of money (think producing legal pronography), but have their businesses interact in such a way that to most people it looks like they are making most of their money from real estate investments, that is generally fine as long as they follow applicable tax laws, don't try to bypass the government's anti-money laundering controls, and are not trying to defraud others by saying something like "Look how much money I'm making from real estate investment. Your investment firm should hire me."

But here we had a mixer service where an estimated 20% of funds it hides were criminal in nature. It is not legal to knowingly facilitate criminal money laundering. If viewed as an unincorporated association operating this service (which is how the treasury views this), and with that sort of proportion of its use being criminal, it is implausible that the operators did not know that the service was being widely used for illegal money laundering, not just the legal kind. Because of this, the operators had a duty to modify the service they offer to make it harder to use for illegal money laundering, or to shut the service down entirely.

If you want to run a smart contract based mixing service like this, you pretty much need to design it to only accept funds that someone has verified are not criminal proceeds. Perhaps you as the operator does the verification, or perhaps to avoid centralization you allow for a variety of trusted organizations to verify lawful nature of the source of the funds, with each organization after verifying creating some form of signature for the mixer user to submit along with the funds to avoid the transaction getting rejected.
I guess the question is how do you prevent astroturfing and how do you fund it?

I'm saying there's a scientific model called MOND and also, separately, a literal Dawkinsian meme[0] which features the acceptance of that model based in part on motivated reasoning, not science. I'm not dismissing the hypothesis. It might be right, it might be wrong. It's worth exploring either way. I totally agree that even proving something wrong improves our understanding.

I'm criticizing MOND-the-meme, I guess, but also admiring. I don't like it, but it's very good in its niche.

Anecdotally speaking as someone who grew up there, I feel investment property is tied culturally to wealth building in Australia above all other asset classes (I left 6-7 years ago so maybe it's changed), it's also encouraged by the government with tax breaks.

Thank you for reading. I think this is a salient point. How do I know how the manager is going to perceive the question based on what order I put the words in? My intent is to get the information I need, because I trust the manager to know it when I don’t. This of course is an edited example of a conversation in real life, and in fact my first draft had the question phrased as “we should analyze our performance and need metrics”. This honestly could have just as easily been perceived as patronizing.

If anything, and I probably glossed over it too quickly, I do spend a lot of effort being very candid and open and agreeable when having these discussions, because it is so hard to make sure our intents and definitions are aligned. We can be talking about checkout and react and then after 2 h realize that we actually both care about better conversion of mobile users, and now we are talking and can put the react decision into context.

I wrote this article about these situations: when my approach breaks down and I get blamed for not accepting being wrong, yet I’m actually trying my best to avoid exactly that.
AFAIK, Having a knife in your car, even in the boot, counts as 'carrying it'.

So you can potentially be done for having a Leatherman multi-tool (with locking blade) in your car.

The question is what would count as a valid reason for 'carrying' it. Is simply 'keeping a few tools around in case of emergency' enough if you encounter a cop who's having a bad day?

1. that isn't the conclusion the author ends with. That quote is addressing example #4. The overall conclusion is under the header "Conclusion"

2. That quote also is not saying "everyone needs to change". It's says they are not going to lie about being wrong just because someone else knows less than them (see the title of example #4). Why should anyone be expected to do this? Why should experts in their field pretend to not know something because of the ignorance of someone else? What does that get us?

Alternatively, you could finance the hospital, fire depart, or whatever without an middle man siphoning off "their fair share"

This has already been tried. People used to subscribe to fire service, or ambulance service. It doesn't work, and is also bad for society.

If you want people to only use the things they directly pay for, and not pay for shared things through taxes, then only drive on your own driveway. Don't drive on any roads outside of your cul-de-sac. Don't get your Amazon order delivered on state and federally-funded highways. Don't fly out of any big airport in America. Don't fly on any commercial airline, since they have all received taxpayer bailouts in the past. Don't use a bank. Don't use money. Hire a security guard to protect your property, and another one to follow you around every day. Get your water from a well on your own property.

For an 88-day-old account to be this stunningly obtuse, I'm going with "troll," rather than "genuinely completely oblivious to how the world works."
Potentially end up with significant asset deflation. This is actually a big concern of mine.

We were in a definite asset bubble to begin with, so some correction was expected. But I'm concerned the fed's levers against inflation are slow ones and that we could see a real deflationary economy coming up here.

The economy has been fast to fall and slow to recover, so the fed is, IMO, in danger of overshooting their soft landing significantly.
sticky prices https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C39&q=sti...

roughly, changing prices has transactional and psychological effects, so suppliers hold out on price changes as long as possible, then do bigger changes (especially in non-liquid markets). So we see fewer big step changes in prices than smaller continuous changes (except for things that are traded frequently, like commodities).

Also there is a herd effect with consumer pricing. Once a market leader raises a price, that makes it 'safe' for other firms to match the price change.
Would you tell a war veteran you understand them because you don't like loud noises? An amputee that you comprehend their pain because your knees feel old? Those are obviously not acceptable, and incredibly insensitive things to state. That is what this attempt at inclusivity does.
> Do Gen Z people just stop playing the game at some stage. Who is going to enforce this? The rapidly aging majority of the populace? Will they just keep paying higher and higher taxes to support elderly people who likely own much more than they ?

Gen Z people will enforce it. No group ever acts as a monolith. For a dumb fictional example, IIRC, all the enforcers in Hunger Games were members of one of the subjugated districts given a better quality of life due to their service. For a real-life example, I believe in Russian and Chinese prisons, the lowest level of enforcement and supervision are actually consists of inmates who've been given privileges by the guards.

> Expect to put in hours of labor every day, without fail.

This is absolutely not true.

I have a home hydroponics setup in my garage on two tiers of a home depot storage rack covering about 24 sq feet. We eat the equivalent of $10-15 worth of leafy green veggies and herbs every single day. The produce I grow is far superior in taste and more diverse than what is available at the grocery store.

My maintenance includes every 3 weeks topping the water/nutrients and checking pH. This could be extended to 5 weeks or more if I went from DWC to Kratky method, basically just turning off some of the circulation pumps. I probably spend about 10 minutes a week pruning, adjusting air circulation, etc. Everything is controllable from my phone (water pump, aeration, lights, etc).

Sound quality from a phone is most certainly going to suck, conversations are going to be barely intelligible when in your pocket, and battery life will be disappointing compared to a dedicated recorder. There certainly are phone applications that allow constant background audio recording, but none of them are perfect from what I'm aware of (Android really doesn't want you to run applications consistently without inconveniences, even disabling all optimizations). I think using a program like Echo [0], that constantly records in the background rolling over a certain user-defined amount of time/device memory and lets you save the past X minutes available when needed and user-controlled is more convenient (and I don't really see a lot of good 24/7 applications around from a brief look). In any case, you could sync the recordings of the application of your choice with synching instead of using a cloud solution. Best would be to find one that supports opus encoding for maximum size efficiency.

When you need to justify physical assault.

Speech is not violence. Silence is not violence. Using those terms is a convenient way to escalate a situation and rationalise an attack.
The stories were accurate, but most of the headlines said Facebook "gave" data to law enforcement, when it's more accurate to say they were legally obligated to provide data. The villains in this story are the law enforcement agencies, legislators and judges who set the rules. Facebook did nothing wrong.
No. The best you can do with this AI architecture would be something like NVIDIA's NeMo, meaning you group the input audio stream into 2s blocks with 1s overlap and then run the speech recognition on that.

If you want real-time speech recognition with less than 0.5s of delay between speaking the word and it being fully recognized, then one needs to implement a different architecture. And that one is much more difficult and expensive to train that this one (which was already expensive).

That said, I want a fully offline and privacy-respecting voice assistant myself.

So attempting to build the AI for real-time streamed live English speech recognition will be my next project. I plan to ship it as an OpenGL-accelerated binary with WebRTC server so that others can easily combine my recognition with their logic. But it probably won't be free since I'm looking at >$100k in compute costs to build it. In any case, here's the waiting list: https://madmimi.com/signups/f0da3b13840d40ce9e061cafea6280d5...

The truth there are different inflation measures that tell us different things about the economy. Also, when the structure of the economy changes, the indexes used might mismatch what people are actually paying. We live in wild times, and it very well might be that there is more uncertainty in the numbers, or more mismatch from lived experience, than there used to be.

I'm very happy with Google Fiber here in San Antonio, even though I had AT&T gigabit fiber before. I've never had an outage, we have IPv6, and the internet's so fast that the bottleneck is my home router rather than the actual connection.

Plus, the connection is dug in through the ground instead of run from a telephone pole like AT&T's was, so it's less prone to interference by trees and squirrels

I'm honestly surprised that our city is so well wired up that I have the choice of two gigabit providers. We aren't a tech hub or anything like that. I wonder why this location seems to be such a competitive market for ISPs. We have other big ones like Spectrum, but there's even a local provider (although, I guess they were acquired recently, so not quite local anymore): https://www.astound.com/texas/

Yeah but the same argument could be made for the web. Why build a react app that complicates everything instead of just a plain HTML site. The simple answer is use cases, if you're delivering a simple email with a notification then no you do not need something like this, but some will have a case where they do need to reach for something like this. It's no different than web or mobile development. If we shunned every piece of tech that had potentially nefarious uses cases then we would still be stuck in the stone age.
In my experience, such emphasis on quantum phenomena tends to be the motivated reasoning of free will compatibilists: they hope to preserve the intuitive idea of free will by looking at what corners of non-determinism still remain in modern physics, emphasising any possible connection to the macro-scale mind, however tenuous. It's analogous to the God of the Gaps argument. [0]

Even assuming quantum phenomena are central to the brain's workings, the arguments still fail: you have no control over the quantum phenomena in your brain, so you still don't have free will in the naïve intuitive sense.

I see even less connection between quantum phenomena and consciousness. Consciousness need not depend on free will.
