> Inflation isn't high any more.

The CPI was 255.7 in 2019 and estimated to be 294.4 for 2022. That's a 15% increase in three years in an index that's acknowledged to somewhat under-report inflation. CPI could flatline (zero MoM) for the next two years and we would still be at 3% annual inflation over five years, which is above the Fed's target, in addition to all the asset inflation we've had that the CPI doesn't really track. Absolutely nobody who pays real bills will feel like inflation has subsided.

> IMHO we are going to go back to worrying about deflation in the next 12 months or so.

There's a lot of money to be made in the STIRS markets if your prediction comes true.
It probably works by the same mechanism that people have used to try and develop cocaine vaccines over the decades. Basically you introduce an antigen to the body so that large amounts of antibodies are created which bind to cocaine and prevent it from being uptaken into the neuroreceptors where it acts.

We're trying to automate tutoring. As a college student, I spent a lot of time trying to fill knowledge gaps with textbooks, Google, or other students. Now, we're trying to provide a streamlined and customized AI Tutor service to help everyone learn faster.

It's a lot more technically challenging than we thought. For example, what's the best way to statistically guage a student's knowledge level? How do we recognize when an ngram counts as a new concept?

We haven't launched publically yet, but we have a LinkedIn page of you'd like to see when we do.

If the US is so fragile that a box of paper is somehow key to the stability of an entire empire, we're pretty much doomed.

Also your statement that "Since a majority of states at the time had Republican representation, they would have elected Trump" is laughable. It's well known that Trump asked multiple Republican governors to "find some votes" and they obviously did not do this. Even if someone is a demagogue that doesn't make them willing to commit a career ending felony. After all, being a demagogue got them a long way. Not by falsifying election documents.
Personally I go looking for covers on YouTube all the time. I think how Yello Magic Orchestra’s cover of ‘Fire Cracker’ is much better than the original or how Richard Cheese got the emotional tone of ‘Fight for your right’ correct.

I remember finding out that Freebase knew about 200 tracks titled ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ and these were copies from greatest hits collections, live versions, remasters, covers, etc. Finding the ‘right’ track in this case is challenging if only because of the large number of candidate tracks.
You might be onto something. Being able to gauge the person behind gun is probably helpful.

Long time ago in country far away, we was traveling through a soon to be former Soviet satellite country. My brother got really sick. We were worried he would die. GPS does not exist yet. Foreign country. We miraculously stumbled upon a hospital. It happened to have armed guards. They blocked the entrance. My mom got pissed and started walking towards them with my brother in her arms. Rifle was raised, but guard ended flat on the floor as my mom pushed him out of the way. My dad followed with an embarrassed hand gestures that he hoped meant 'sorry, she is a little preoccupied now'. Nothing happened. Brother didn't die either. We drove forth.

How you handle yourself matters; doubly so in a time of actual crisis.

edit: Don't be an idiot rule applies. Sensible person will not storm armed guards just because you read a testimonial on the net.

<< no rule will help you.

What do you propose then, because I assure you the world without rules will not be a world people will want to exist in for long?
I'm impressed with Caddy's performance. I was expecting it to fall behind mainly due to the fact it's written in Go but apparently not. It's a bit disappointing that it's slower in reverse proxying, as that's one of the most important use cases, but now that it's identified maybe they can make some improvements. Finally, there really should be a max memory / max connections setting (maybe there is?).
> Scientific communities don't formally elect a spokesperson

Some communities do.

> Granting access "to the community" to investigate scientific claims means making the methodology and results available to everybody - and that includes responding to inquiries for access from anyone (who is worth granting access to.)

Sure, not arguing otherwise.

I'll try to make my point more obvious. If you keep asking questions to different people/orgs and not getting responses there are two possible conclusions:

- Everyone is a jerk or coward.

- You're not as important as you think and not worth the recipient's time.
I think 'worthless' is too strong a statement. The rankings are a subjective score, but it does correlate to some measure of merit. A school ranked in the top-20, will probably be a 'better' school than one ranked in the bottom-20 spots.

For undergrad, the reality is that you can get a good(enough) education from almost any accredited university in the country. For degrees fields like CS, or Engineering, it almost doesn't matter. You will get a quality education from most institutions.
This sounds incredibly interesting to me!

For years I've had this idea rattling around in my head to build a web UI that shows a graph of some historical quantity, e.g., company revenue, disease cases, global mean temperature anomaly, stock prices, etc. The historical data is shown as a curve which terminates at the present, and there's some empty space for the future. The user then uses a freehand drawing tool to extend the historical curve into the future, based on what they feel will happen. Save this data, and let users view some average(s) of all crowdsourced curves, grouped by submission date. Stretch goal: let users track their own forecast accuracy, and let users view forecasts weighted or filtered by the historical forecast accuracy of contributing users.

Is this close to what you're working on? I have no idea how useful or interesting this would be, but I feel like I'd learn a ton just trying to build it. Alas, I just haven't made the time, and lack the skills to hack something together in a reasonable time.

"A person after my own heart," I originally thought. I, too, enjoy reading HMRC technical guidance, although I haven't actually taken it to such extremes, instead focusing on genuine deductions few people tell you about (like annual medicals).

Your post was entertaining, but there might be a fly in the ointment! Are you actually carrying on a trade? Your consulting work is trade, but there are rules around businesses having multiple lines of business and what is and what is not considered a trade (see BIM20090 and possibly BIM85740). If your art is not commercially available and making more money than it "costs" in expenses, HMRC would probably determine that this line of business is a hobby with no expenses deductible.

If, however, you are selling this art, it's a fantastic wheeze, and also a quite legitimate one as you would, indeed, be a professional artist. You could, too, perhaps find ways to use said art in your trade such that it would commercially justify its creation, even at a high cost.

I think Columbia is a bit of an anomaly.

As someone who knew a lot of people who went to grad school and considered it myself, Columbia grad programs were known as a notorious money-pit/cash grabs unlike any other school in its range. I was always confused how they got away with it.

The only other school in NYC that competed with it in this regard was the New School, which is ranked all the way at 127.

FTA "... all university rankings are essentially worthless. They’re based on data that have very little to do with the academic merit of an institution . . . "

While I strongly believe that a motivated university student can maximize their ROI at any institution, it would also be nice if there was an easier way for prospective students to identify schools that would offer the best opportunity for students. But campus visits don't tell you much about actual classroom teaching experiences from the learner perspective.

Any ideas out there?

When I talk to high-achieving parents of kids picking schools, the parents seem to say that choosing a school was mostly a matter of coming up with some arbitrary evaluation function (eg, "wanted a small school with a few hours of home", "interested in a big flagship state university", "wanted an Ivy", etc).
It may be the case that some individuals on HN dream of selling out but I'm not convinced those are the same individuals that have an issue with products being purchased by big tech.

Is there a logical fallacy for this? I see it a lot online and it drives me nuts. Just because you can point out that the general viewpoint of a group might be hypocritical, that doesn't mean the individuals themselves are necessarily hypocritical.

(personally I have no opinion on figma/adobe, but this class of comment drives me nuts)
These systems are perpetuated on the backs of the naive or sanctimonious enough to believe, and loudly proclaim, that they have nothing to hide; they haven't been targeted and haven't ever been in trouble; why are you breaking the law, you criminal scum?

Generations pass and everything remains the same. We're all on the same boat, so why are people so quick to judge against those targeted for violations of a contrived status quo?
I use caddy mostly as a reverse proxy in front of an app. It's just one line in the caddy file:

sub.domain.com {
# transparent proxy + websocket support + letsencrypt TLS

}

It's a fresh breath of air to have server with sensible defaults after dealing with apache and nginx (haproxy isn't much better in that regard).

I understand that sentiment, but IT Security seems to be at a point where it's unmanageable...especially for non-tech companies.

I don't see how a CEO would reasonably assess the state of their IT security. Who would you trust to give an accurate state, remediation plan, etc? There's so many ways to do it wrong and so many different opinions, directions, etc. It feels like even those that throw lots of money at it get mediocre improvements in security but with notable hits to productivity.

In other words, I think there's very few non-tech companies that aren't in the same spot as U-Haul. And probably quite a few highly technical companies also...witness Uber's recent issues.
People working on cutting edge technology are all speculators in one way or another even if they don't realize or can't quantify the opportunity cost.

The one thing I will agree with the OP about is, HN had some of the earliest posts about Bitcoin and it was generally poo pood by the audience potentially due to an inadequate analysis. The long term HN readers that missed the boat may suffer from some forms of regret which can surface as disdain or hatred.

My sister works as a veterinarian and is experiencing some serious burnout from her current practice (a subsidiary of a larger corporation).

I guess it's pretty common practice for corporations or private equity to snatch up smaller independent practices and then run them like a sweat shop.
Her current CEO's resume is a list of Starbucks, Walmart, and a few other corporate roles that are totally unrelated to the medical industry.

We're tinkering with a platform that can somehow disrupt this cycle and add some transparency to the practice structure for the would-be employee.

The current form is kind of a niche Glassdoor, or we've been thinking of it as the "online dating between veterinarians & practices." Still playing with the concept.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to take out these massive PE firms that are plaguing the Vet Med industry?

I think this would be difficult, since it would require students to claim (or admit) to buying prestige rather than paying for an education.

In other words: Columbia can (and probably still does) provide an excellent education, even if their ratings are rightfully lower.
It banned a film from its ad program. And the user who tried to advertise it. And the composer of the title track.

It's all fun and games, but can't the auditors just challenge your "artistic production" by asking for the actual invoices proving any sort of income from it? I mean lots of costs and no related income is questionable AF. Or do you actually sell any of this "art"?

One has very little to do with the other besides having to do with body autonomy. Also, people were never forced to get vaccinated. I would always be against that. Women are being forced to come to term.

Also happened to me but my experience at that time was so bad that I'd never use them again anyway.

Aside from issues with my reservation, they charged my card ~$2500 3 months_after_ I had returned the trailer I rented. Claimed it was returned late and to an entirely different state. Luckily I am a receipt hoarder and had all the evidence that I returned it on time. Unluckily though it took _weeks_ to get my money back from UHaul and several calls to hassle them about getting it fixed.

UHaul not even once.
Look at where you might want to end up and see if they have any connections to specific schools / programs in schools. Beyond the education and the prestige attached to a school / program, the big benefit of graduate school is making connections. This is not nearly as present in online programs, but it can still be there.

At $Work, we received a domain registrar password reset e-mail today - for a former client who I don't think we've talked to in 15+ years.

Opposite anecdote. I used CoolEdit before it was acquired by Adobe and became Adobe Audition. It’s a much better product now and is not bundled with anything else.

This is the same as statistically from loading a 401k out performs DCA throughout the year.

Sure this year sucks, but if only 1-2 years out of 8 perform worse, BUT 6-7 years you perform better. Then holistically you’re still better off.

I see people using Figma a lot for UX design and storyboards. Illustrator seems to be used more by graphic designers.

> it's terribly illiquid

I'm amazed at how many people that get a significant portion of their comp as RSUs hang on to their shares after vesting.

During this insane bull market it's happened to work out, but having your income and a major portion (for most tech workers) of your assets perfectly correlated is absolutely a bad investment idea, not to mention the fact that you can only trade during approved windows and are not allowed to do any hedging (such as buying protective puts).

Even if you're wildly bullish on your company, at the very least diversify a bit with highly correlated stocks (for example if you're a GOOG during the last decade at least split it up among other FAANG). This way you can at least protect yourself in the event that your particular company gets hit hard.

It's incredible how far away the dotcom burst is in people's minds (or even 2008). Cheap money has led to an insane period of growth in tech, but investing as though that were the norm is very risky (without even optimizing your reward for that risk).

The “privately owned” argument is bad and frankly it’s disingenuous. Nobody making this argument believes that “privately owned” entities should be able to discriminate against racial minorities, sexual minorities, religious minorities, or any other intersectional group.
