Exactly - The Flesch Kincaid gives you ranges, and it's reasonable for amendments to be within a certain range. For example, in Florida, all life insurance policies must have a Flesch Kincaid score of at least 45. This still scores as "Difficult to Fairly Difficult." It'd be interesting to see what the readability scores are for different amendments.
> "The text achieves a minimum score of 45 on the Flesch reading ease test as computed in subsection (5) or an equivalent score on any other test comparable in result and approved by the office;"

They're probably referring to the term of art in psychology[0].

I personally don't think it's an important concept; I don't think measuring "grit" tells you anything deep or important about a person. For example, someone might exhibit "grit" in one job but not another, just because one was a good fit and one wasn't.

But neither do I think it tells you anything deep or important when a company mentions it in a job description. I think it's a trendy fad in pop-sci, akin to Myers-Briggs or DiSC. Someone there probably read an article about it recently.

College loans were dischargeable in bankruptcy until Clinton changed it. Biden can have that repealed, but that would upset the bankerster gravy train and could jeopardize political donations by the banksters.

https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-budget/28362...

Since politicians don't want to repeal the Clinton-era law, the logical choices for many students will be to skip college or to leave USA for college overseas. We are really harming our children with this debt.
The point being made here is that we actually do have the counterfactual available to us. Jumbo mortgages are not underwritten by the government, and they're exclusively private transactions between lender and borrower where the lender keeps the mortgage on the books and assumes all risk of default, interest rate changes, inflation, etc. And we know the market premium for this risk, because we can compare the difference in rates between a jumbo and conforming loan. It's about a half a percent.
The censorship was of the Microsoft and Google portions of the report. Removing 100 pages of a 150 page report for political reasons is for sure still censorship.

And if an organization funded a report, it is unethical to hide that information. It is absolutely standard to attach notices of non-endorsement after funding disclosures.
It also appears to be a nothingburger of a report. Governments want to upgrade their tech stack, look at moving to the cloud, and shockingly select one of the three largest cloud providers.

I'm equally surprised that the military buys boots from a large volume boot company and not a boutique corner shoe shop.
I'm not sure where you are getting "Pyramid scheme", most criticisms of crypto are that they are Ponzi schemes. The difference is that rather than money funneling up to the top of the pyramid, in a Ponzi scheme an illusion of returns is created by redistributing newer investors money to existing investors, rather than from the underlying investments gaining value. See Madoff's great scheme.

There was a great article, probably lost in time, which explained how the dot-com crash of the 00s was basically the collapse of an internet advertising Pyramid, and a smaller collapse of a dark-fiber pyramid.
Show HN: Distributed JMAP and IMAP Servers in Rust
I am happy to announce Stalwart JMAP [1], an open-source JSON Meta Application Protocol server that aims to be scalable, robust and secure. Some of its key features are:

- JMAP Core, JMAP Mail and JMAP over WebSocket full compliance.
- IMAP4 rev2/1 support via Stalwart IMAP, an imap-to-jmap proxy [2].
- Scalable and fault tolerant: consensus over Raft, node autodiscovery over gossip and read-only replicas.
- RocksDB backend with full-text search support in 17 languages.
- OAuth 2.0 authorization code and device authorization flows.
- Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) message signing.
- Written in Rust.
- No third-party software required to run or scale.

The next item on the roadmap is to release an SMTP server in Rust with the goal of making self-hosting an e-mail server much simpler.

Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome!

"No one takes it seriously anymore." Completely biased 'lefty' hogwash. Even the Fed Chair until 2014, Keynesian Ben Bernanke, had this to say about key Austrian Milton Friedman:

"Among economic scholars, Friedman has no peer. His seminal contributions to economics are legion, including his development of the permanent-income theory of consumer spending, his paradigm-shifting research in monetary economics, and his stimulating and original essays on economic history and methodology."

"Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again."

U of Chicago is still a top 5 Economics University.

You may jest! The coolest “Professor” I ever had was a geologist taking time from his career of geological exploration for precious stones, minerals, or oil and gas - a field guy. He was between contracts so decided to try teaching an Intro class - Earthquakes and Volcanoes.

His life out in the world in some exotic places doing science was part Indiana Jones. Because of his class I now respect nature and want to be a good steward, but also know deep down that if the Yellowstone volcano pops off in my lifetime, well, hello handful of fentanyl!

Also the most fascinating part is when I did my report on Mt St Helen’s I found out how many animals had like a few minute head start and knew something was coming and ran for it.

Like they had a tip from the earths magnetic energy or something made them react. I recently wrote here about trusting my gut, and that was one of the examples that made me stand back and appreciate what I don’t know about energy and the universe.

Lastly, my Dad flew a C-47 in Alaska and hauled smoke jumpers on the regular. He still has utmost respect for them. I’m trying to get him to write out a day in the life from that time before he kicks the bucket. All those guys are probably dead by now.
Wow, that's actually a pretty compelling case.

A summary for those of you not quite grasping it is, mining means bitcoin has capital outflows, and to maintain a stable price needs equal capital inflows in the form of new demand. It's security is proportional to this inflow/outflow value, so if you lower the capital outflow you require less capital inflow but reduce it's security. A network with no capital outflow is a network with no mining happening at all, a network with high security means a network with either high capital inflows or a steady drop in price for each coin. The more spent on mining, the quicker the price will drop if new money doesn't enter the market. Compound this with the relationship between market cap and liquidity and it paints a very bad picture. Add the business about halvenings and it's worse. An asset that requires capital inflows cannot store value, an asset that has no security cannot store value, and those are your only options with bitcoin, so it isn't a store of value.

I'd love if someone could refute it, I couldn't find a comment in this thread that did, the only refutation I can come up with is if bitcoin were actually used as money by everyone that would be the same as capital inflows equaling capital outflows and you'd have no change in value, although you'd have a change in value for an entire economy as you burn resources to secure it which would be price inflationary which amounts to the same thing.

"Never listen to a google ads rep if they call."

Excellent advice. I was helping manage an Adwords campaign for an online shop, only had search ads turned on, was carefully watching and tweaking ads and managed to get a pretty decent CTR which had a big impact on cost per click.

I was in a different time zone (15 hours ahead) than the company. I went to bed one night and next morning I checked and found that our CTR had gone through the floor, was way less than 1%. And as a result our cost per click had sky rocketed from 10 to 15 cents to several dollars.

Turns out that a Google ads rep had called the office and convinced someone to turn on display ads, which killed our CTR. Our advertising budget was depleted, our Adwords account had received the dreaded low CTR slap which meant it would be very costly/impossible to get CTR back to a reasonable level. We were done with Adwords.

Things may have changed since then. It was years ago and I haven't touched Adwords since.
Not that different at those private schools.

Elite colleges have required suicidal amounts of pressure to be admitted, for decades. I went through that, just that I got in. Typically with serious Attention Deficit Disorder and no treatment, there's no way to get into the top 6 schools.

No matter how otherwise intelligent, too many points lost to disorganization. Like can't start essays until last minute, forget the test that was coming up, 0% on some homeworks, very little sleep because of the procrastination that was a direct consequence of that condition, huge late penalties, when you need 90% averages for semester grades for all courses, an 89% is an F in that setting. Like then you gotta pull off miracles to make the grade back up. And for that you have to be desperate. That was the hard part, SAT was easy and fun, extracurriculars were competitive but cool, also fun, hard part was the GPA. Crazy standards.

It's a process with many satisfied quiet survivors and a smaller number of very visible tragic deaths.
It's hard to hear about any 14 year old boy dying, particularly one with such promise. To salve our feelings, to make sense of it, it might feel important to grasp some detail that makes it not so tragic. Resist doing that. It was a tragic accident.
Under these rules, an identity function can serve as an interpreter. This is valid. Empty text (nothing wrapped around the input case) is also an instance of interpretation. The question is, can it be achieved without just throwing the expression into the path of the host evaluator in these kinds of ways.
They were paid slightly more than enough to afford average rent for an average unit in San Francisco. They earned it by working overtime. By working more than full time and being compensated according to their employment agreement. The idea that that’s corruption is mind boggling to me. I don’t know whether you just want janitors to be underclass by definition or whether you object to people being compensated for their work, or what could possibly be the problem here.

Personally, I think everyone should be able to afford to live comfortably wherever they are. And I think janitors and other people who do often thankless and grueling work should be compensated substantially more than they are, not less. If it were up to me, no one would have to work overtime to afford average rent where they work so hard already.

Now this is reasonably well understood, but it wasn't when BART was designed

Claiming that BART was ground breaking and could've never predicted the consequences of their design choices is quite revisionist. They got called out for their dangerous train control almost immediately. 80 MPH is not and was not high speed. Amtrak trainsets were cable of over 100 MPH back in the mid-70s. BART just reinvented everything poorly (that's their MO).

Anyways here's a technical piece about BART wheels:

https://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/docs/noisereport.pd...

With trued wheels and smooth ground rail on ballast and ties, BART is one of
the quietest vehicles. in operation at U.S. transit systems.

Problem is BART is exceptionally hard on their track. Even with conical wheels you can feel the new trains bounce up and down on wildly out of round wheels. You can feel the rumbling on the decrepit track between Lake Merritt and 19th St. Normal railways often lubricate their tracks, but BART can't. Normal railways increase the track gauge slightly in curves (because most train cars don't use differentials), BART pretty much doesn't.

This was my favorite bit:

Of these two types of curving noise, wheel squeal is the more prevalent,
while wheel howl may be limited to lightly damped aluminum centered wheels
such as used at BART. In fact, wheel howl may be unique to BART, because
BART is the only transit system employing rigid aluminum centered wheels.

Whoops.

A lot of this is because large companies which make proprietary software, such as Google, invested in the software you listed. I am not sure if the same would happen in the case of hardware. There is more upfront investment. The culture is different, more secretive.

The Millennium Tower piles do not rest on bedrock, it was supposed to use friction with the soil instead. This is cheaper and CAN work but it is far easier to get wrong than having the piles rest directly on bedrock.
This is not true. What the people who "lead the world" have in common most often is coming from a very privileged background. The idea that they are all iconoclasts or inherently in some way "better" than other people is a myth the wealthy tell themselves.

The best of the best likely come from privileged background simply because of the access to resources.

The idea that meritocracy is some of egalitarianism is a myth.

i agree with a lot of this;

> I was not happy so see that my mouse felt laggy

i also noticed this immediately and it was infuriating. my display runs at 240hz, so there must be at least 2, maybe even 3 frames of latency for it to be noticeable. it's made more perplexing that wayland was supposed to represent a reduction in latency.

> Out of the box, there’s a bit of that in wayland too, but sway has a way out: max_render_time.

this is possibly the worst way you could reduce input latency - mostly because of the tail-end of render times will be the most noticeable and the worst performing - please never do this unless you're trying to make your users inexplicably angry :)

English majors have much better preparation for Law School in the US (as do Philosophy majors) and high acceptance and success rates than Economics or Business or STEM graduates - Lawyers make more money in most fields than any of the professions you mentioned.

So why would somebody pursue a limiting career in servant worker degrees of any type? Computer Science isn’t entrepreneur lessons - it’s vocational school with a higher price tag and we all know it. Pretending a BS in CS is harder to get than a BA in Philosophy is laughably sus.
Strongly agree. Bandwidth and latency are the two big limiting factors always though, and unfortunately they tend to improve slower than compute. I think right now the fastest infiniband you can achieve is 3-400 GB/s, and compare that to the H100 HBM3 memory bandwidth at up to 3 TB/s. So I don’t see a time in the near future where we can naively treat our server fleets as a truly unified machine.

On the other hand, work being done in the big three DL packages for making distributed training easier has been quite nice. I know the least about TF, but their dtensor looks promising. JAX’s entire distributed paradigm using pmap/xmap etc make certain classes of models very easy to distribute. The one I’m following most closely though is Pytorch and their sharded tensor, and it looks like they’re planning on implementing native distributed ops powered by their RPC framework, which should make full tensor- and model-parallelism significantly easier.
I was definitely waiting for the him to give himself some kind of an award in the end, or maybe a sound bit of author performing autofelatio?
> It was often slower

Any data on this? I can remember that your typical Cairo backend ran much faster on a PC from 2004 than todays GNOME/Gtk runs on current machines. If performance is your only argument you clearly lose with the modern GNOME/KDE + wayland stack. The only way you could make GLAMOR accelerated Xrender faster is by putting the spline tesselation step into a shader. (This was not possible when Xrender was introduced but can be done today without breaking any APIs)

Unrelated but since you're big into Elixir, any thoughts on Gleam? Personally I like it because I like the concepts of Elixir but I can't do dynamic typing anymore after being burned too many times by it. And I'd much rather have a full statically typed language than something bolted on later like type hints in Ruby or Python.
I don't think they want people questioning. A majority of people have short attention spans and will remember all the PR they do to spin this as a "positive" thing.

CPI does include housing costs, you may argue against how well it's weighted for your particular case (renting in downtown SF), but that's a problem with any national metric which will have both personal and local variations.

The data is available, for example Alaska Urban inflation is about 1pp higher than New York, presumably because of increased weighting of gas prices, if you are vegetarian and spend more on cereals than on meat then your personal food inflation will be higher
I don’t care.
Caltrain is basically an afterthought. Secondhand rolling stock, tracks shared with freight, and perpetually starved for funding. BART was a green field transit system. BART had every opportunity to design redundancy into the system and didn't. And yet Caltrain actually has dedicated passing tracks while BART doesn't.
Considering there is waypipe, what exactly is being "given up"?

This is a rambling article, but the core premise that Bitcoin is leaky because it has an energy INPUT is a weird one. The argument that other tokens being fully closed loops that don’t leak value is certainly a take…

Proof of work plays many roles in the Bitcoin. One role it plays is that it ties a digital token to a real world, scarce, valuable resource. The only thing a digital token can be tied to: computation, or energy. Closed loop staking tokens have no tie. It is a formless, virtual, free floating concept. Not to mention that they are all highly centralized, so they don’t even have confidence in their monetary policy to fall back on.

With Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, etc, your value is in the hands of where the developers choose to take the protocols. They can and have changed their monetary policies, and they will again.

This person’s real concern appears to be “number go up”. It seems to have infected their thinking. They see a system that decided to engineer for NGU instead of stability and confidence, and thinks that’s “not leaky”. It is extremely short sighted.

In the stormy world of crypto, Bitcoin is the port.
We're back to my original comment: the human embryo is just a young human. The mouse embryo isn't.
