You're conflating zfs-fuse and zfs-on-linux (ZoL).

The first one is as it's name suggests.. a user space implementation of ZFS.

ZoL (now unified with OpenZFS) is implemented as a kernel module and as such does _not_ run in user space. It performs significantly better as a result.

FUSE is still slow, which is why there's ongoing effort to replace things like NTFS-3G (the default NTFS implementation in most linux distros) with an in-kernel implementation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28418674

Those reports are reluctantly corroborated by the west[0], although it seems you are more interested in bad faith communication with snarky remarks, to each their own.

Housing demand is supported by investors who probably never pay interest on the homes they buy, so I doubt you will see much decrease. I don't think you can really control home prices with interest rates any more.
I'll mention something that most people are forgetting. The Fed was forced to cut rates to zero for a long time because fiscal policy was not stimulative enough.

Rates are a shitty stimulative tool. Here's Bernanke in 2012:

https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/12/ben-ber...

Low rates help people with money borrow more cheaply, accrue more wealth, and kick bankruptcy cans down the road indefinitely. It also royally screws over your average saver and pension fund who's forced to take on more and more risk for any sort of meaningful return.
Looks like fake to me. No sources. The title says 'ordered', by article itself about 'sold out'. The sold out part is actually true and was reported by multiple sources.
Yep. The poison is still in the cup, it's just a smaller dose. Keep drinking if you think that fact is enough to save you...

I see bad judgement calls coming from small numbers, often due to failing to do the cost x frequency math properly in your head. If you're looking at an operation that takes 3ms or 3μs that is called a million times per minute, or twenty thousand times per request, you don't have enough significant figures there and people make mistakes. 3ms x 12345 = ~40s, not 37035ms. Better if you use a higher resolution clock and find out it's actually 3.259 ms, leading to a total of ~40.23s

Point is, when we are doing billions of operations per second, lots of small problems that hide in clock jitter can become really big problems, and a 5-10% error repeated for half a dozen concerns can lead to serious miscalculations in capacity planning and revenue.
College Education pricing has many blames beyond cheap money. The fed getting involved in student loans have totally broken that segment of the economy.

1) Federal loans do not have limits on amount.

2) Loans are non-discharged (you can't shed them in bankruptcy).

3) There is no intensive for schools to charge less. (schools likely should have skin in the game if borrowers end up shedding debt through time expiration or bankruptcy).

4) Loans or the amount of the loans are not weighted at all by the future prospects of the person.

I have other issues with college today. They weren't originally set up for getting people trained for work, but many people now look at them as a form of trade school. But many of the majors available aren't actually job training in any fashion. Most people would be better served by trade schools or apprenticeship, but the US hasn't figured out how to do this well yet. This is more of a cultural problem, that I hope employers can figure out. Coding bootcamps seem to be an answer for the software industry, but we need to push more people that way, rather than college.
Would appreciate some sources for these claims.
I'm fairly confident he is a cheater and the "me too" movement doesn't upset me, in fact it was a long time coming. How exactly are you drawing parallels between people's views on whether someone is cheating at chess, and whether people are committing sexual assaults against women?

He gave it to the Intercept/Guardian and let them decide what to publish.

So what it comes down to is would you rather he decide what the public gets to know, or journalists?

I think letting the journalists decide was a decent call. It's what journalists are for.
That's a very bold and expansive statement covering millions of people. Do you have any evidence that the two groups are one in the same? Or are you putting everyone you don't like into a single bucket of assumed shared attributes?
Depositor insurance is why people don't try to take out all their money at the same time.

Stablecoins don't offer that. They have their own stabilizing mechanism where in a crisis, the peg collapses so quickly that it's not even worth trying to take any out after considering peak traffic tx fees.
They’re not pegged to assets though and as such can’t lose value. Currencies can only go down vis-a-vis each other. When you buy an HKD you’re not buying a slice of a USD, you’re buying an HKD.

Yes

But AFAIK there's no historical precedent for persistently going in the other direction at such an insane scale.

Yes there are many Sthala Puranas that have their own variations/additions to the main storyline. Which is why we stick to the oldest manuscripts that are available as we do not know if/when distortions happened as this story spans multiple thousands of years.

We have sadly also lost scriptures to invasions. Especially with the burning of Nalanda University (by Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji: by some estimates, 9 million scriptures were destroyed) and Takshashila University (by Persians, Greeks, Parthians, Hephthalites, Shakas and Kushanas) though Alexander and future Greeks revived the University again in partnership with Chandragupta Maurya. Hepthalites were most destructive of the lot. Both these Universities contained tomes of Dharmic scriptures/manuscripts (both Buddhist and Hindu).

Nalanda supposedly burned for 3 months.
> there's still about $8T on the books of past QE right?

Yes, about $8.8tn [1]. The Fed is running them off at about $60n a month [2]. (The Fed's optimal balance sheet is estimated to be around $4tn [3].)

The elephant in the room is the Fed's mortgages [4][5]. Those will have to start being sold soon, since rising rates mean mortgagers aren't refinancing and thus a run-off strategy doesn't reduce holdings.

Surely if we made it that far, it wouldn't even be necessary.
10 year treasury bonds looking good or corporate bonds. You are locking in a 3-4% rate for the next decade. It will not take much to force interest rates and inflation back down again...another pandemic, recession, crisis, etc. Yes, 10-year bonds have a negative real yield now, but it seems unlikely inflation will stay at 5-8%/year for the next decade.

The problem with cash is the ONLY way you are getting that 3% yield is if:

1. you stay in cash for a whole year , 2. and the fed does not lower rates again

This is why bond ETFs have so much lag and are not as good. They still have old bonds on their book which pay worse, so you are getting maybe a 2% yield instead of 3%. You are better off just buying bonds from the treasury and getting the full amount.
They are coming down (maybe not in SV), but I've being watching Riverside county and it's being very noticeable.
somebody can probably find the real story better than I can. Back in World War 2, the B29 Bomber would go out on long flights but not all of them returned. Of the ones that returned, they saw the hauls were full of bullet holes, so they kept adding armor to the haul and kept losing planes. By focusing on the planes that were not coming back, it turned out the problem was holes in wings - planes were surviving the holes in hauls.
You haven't gained any competitive advantage in timing though unless you have some unique insight. You just read a press release that is available to every other market participant, some of whos full time job is to do things like analyze balance sheet risk.

Anyway good luck, just beware that you aren't making some kind of smart money play.
This is beautiful to read for any father, what do you think was crucial to build a beautiful relation like yours?
I look at rent to gauge the real cost of living somewhere, cause that takes land speculation out of the equation. It seems like house prices in expensive areas have been rising way more quickly than rent.

So yes, I expect this rate hike to cause a big dump in house prices. In a few months or so I'll be right or wrong.
Are they? I did an interview with one of them a few months ago, passed hiring committee, and have been told everything is frozen. The other one just cancelled my interview.
Not really. The money a startup is going to make is farther in the future than an established company.

If you look at discounted future cashflow, a startup as an investment opportunity is much more influenced by the interest rate than an established company because a larger % of the value is coming from money farther in the future.

Basically 20% of net present value of Microsoft comes from the money it'll make next year and 5% from the money it'll generate 5 yrs from now.

But a startup is the opposite where 0% of the value of the startup comes from the profit it'll make next year, and 20% from the profit it'll make in 5.

And when interest rates change it reduces the present value of the profits in 5 years by far more than it reduces the profits next year. Reducing the value of the startup relative to Microsoft, reducing the startups ability to get funded more than Microsofts.
Given China's demographics, conscription seems entirely unnecessary for any of imperial ambitions.

Right. The facility is like 300 "containers". This is 1 container, which burned, but did not spread. This is why they are spaced out on a concrete pad, vs smooshed together in a row.

So other than the service disruption, it's not like the whole thing burned down.
At Meta managers can't really get away with hiding low performers. Your performance review isn't finalized by your manager, but rather the manager submits your review to a calibrating board that tries to ensure fairness and maintain quality standards. They will refute at all cost that this is stack ranking but you are absolutely graded on the curve of the other engineers in your department and level.
This is an honest question borne of ignorance: in what ways does that matter? I'm sure it does, but people over there are employed, they have a larger safety net, more accessible healthcare access AND better outcomes, seemingly less crime, education seems to be something of a wash (though there is so much variability in the US it's almost a waste of time to do a nation-to-nation comparison).

I only know the major bullet points though, and I haven't found this terribly easy to parse myself. I'm also quite confident that stagnation in the US would manifest differently (not that it must but that it would) so this is really just overall curiosity.
8-15%. I'm looking forward to it. It'll force more people to be more financially responsible. No one should finance furniture, ATVs, or electronics. If you can't pay cash for these things, save, or don't buy.

Edit: @Analemma That's just the extreme end of the scale. 30yr fixed mortgage rates were above 10% during all the 1980s[♤]. I'd like to see a return to that.

This is an insane assertion. The fed has made consistent huge mistakes in monetary policy. No serious investor or public financial figure thinks these cheap rates were necessary
Yep, we print 40% of all known money in the last 2 years, needlessly lock everyone down, and then complain that the rent is too damn high
I agree. People who are born wealthy routinely choose crime, if sometimes for no reason other than adrenaline rush or pure greed.

> This is why those visa restrictions for russian citizens are counterproductive.

There is already a wealth of reports of Russian tourists being enthusiastically militant about Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the point of assaulting people who bear any relationship with the country or show any semblance of support and even vandalizing their tourist destinations with propaganda supporting Russia's assault.

If these prospective political refugees exist, in the very least they should actually stand up against their country's murderous and self-destructive attack on Ukraine. Until then, let them reap what they sow.
This is wrong, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, we currently use ~38% of the earths surface for agriculture.[1] Most of that is used for pastor lands. But crops alone are 10%. Now imagine how much of the earth's surface is actually suitable for agriculture and livestock. We use most of the earths surface for ourselves. In fact it's estimated that only 23% of the land on earth, excluding Antartica, is devoted to wildlife.[2]

oh c'mon. there wasn't really precedent for QE before '08 and they did it anyway. there sure ash wasn't precedent for buying corp debt ETFs as a even more radical form of QE in '20. the fed did those anyway but now that they're trying to wind it down that's somehow radical and needs a "innocuous term"??

$90B/month isn't even making much of a dent in the balance sheet.

> dans son ensemble

> in sound together

That's hilarious and honestly, incredibly bad. "Dans son ensemble" is a very common idiom (meaning "as a whole") while "in sound together" has to be pretty rare. "Son" means "his/hers/its" as well as "sound", and the former meaning is probably more common in general so I have no idea how this result could arise.

"Termo" also doesn't exist in French, it's "thermo", so the transcript even makes orthographic errors.

And I forgot about "couplisser" which is also a hilarious made-up word that sounds like it could mean something, but doesn't! Edit Google finds exactly one reference of this, in a patent with a typo on the word "coulisser".

I'm still impressed by the transcript quality since it covers many languages, but the translation part is quite poor.

If Tether was 50% backed and there was a depeg it would probably be much worse than 50%. Presumably USDT would be redeemed at $1 until Tether's reserves were almost gone at which point Tether would have to stop accepting redemptions and the price of USDT could fall arbitrarily close to $0 in a short time.
Prices are not dropping, but sales are drastically slowing down and properties are staying on the market for longer. At least in the Bay Area, a few months ago it was unheard of for a home to stay on the market a month. Now they're sitting there. Definitely think rates are affecting how much buyers are willing to spend.
That begs the question of who is and who isn't responsible for their state's actions. The US killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians in a completely pointless war in 2003. Despite having started the war, the American people reelected their war criminal president in 2004. Are those who voted for George Bush without blame? What about Israelis who for decades have supported parties that prolong the illegal occupation of Palestine? Or Turks, who elected and Islamist fascist as president? If Ukraine wins the war and demands reparations from Russia for all damage it caused, who should pay it? Average Russian families?
You’re a sweetheart :)
Both "impressment" and "conscription" are more accurate and actually descriptive. (Though one form, "impressed", can be vague due its homonym.)

(Since I'm getting downvoted anyway - anyone avoiding the overwhelmingly more common near-synonym, "drafted", is doing so because they don't like to remember that the US can still do it, too.)
Ah. Budegtary laziness.

That is hard to believe but I am unable to contradict it.
'guix shell' is killer. I use it for all my projects and one-off experiments. I also hook it up to Emacs 'M-x compile' so that compilation happens in the context of the guix shell. Beyond the simple command line package specification, you can add a guix.scm file to the root of your project repo and fill it with code that specifies all the packages needed for a development environment. Some of my guix.scm files are simple lists of existing packages, others are full of custom code to modify existing packages or define new ones. No matter how simple or complex it is behind the scenes, I just run 'guix shell' and get on with working on my project.

I imagine posts go off-topic because people don't know anywhere else to post their thoughts. I've often seen posts where people wanted a Hackernews for X topic, but none exist (apart from maybe Reddit).

The old forum meme of 'posting in the wrong thread' doesn't really apply on HN. On the other hand, if the topic drifts into political flamebait and outright propaganda, people deserve to get down-voted and called out.
So yes, I expect this rate hike to cause a big dump in house prices. In a few months or so I'll be right or wrong.

But it's also possible that it's priced in. It's been expected for the past 6 months the fed would raise rates a lot.
Once you're served a notice to appear in mobilization center - yes, it is illegal to not comply. If you're not served one - there should be no repercussions.

However, you may be required to stay in your home town and not travel outside without permission if you are potentially subject to mobilization (which is the case for ~50% of men in Russia) - IANAL, there's different readings of the rules here.
Please explain why you think the conversation must boil down to this question, when police respond to a wide variety of incidents, very few of which involve violent crimes. Violent crimes are an important subset, but you seem unwilling to acknowledge the breadth of this topic.

Armed robberies would probably require an armed response, which would certainly imply we'd need an organization with the resources to investigate this & dispatch armed people to interdict this robber.

That doesn't imply this force should be patrolling the streets or have the power to pull people over arbitrarily, and if you believe we need people serving in those roles, it didn't imply they should be armed or that lethal authority should seamlessly blend from responding to armed robbers to responding to a noise complaint.
> $90B/month it will take 89 months to unload

The optimal Fed balance sheet is estimated to be around $4tn [1].

A Fed with a ballooning balance sheet distorts financial markets. A Fed with no assets must do weird stuff to fight inflation, which distorts financial markets. (In a non-reserve case, a central bank with no reserves goes bust.)

You’re making some good points. But I think the main argument still stands, that we should be careful not to view the Russian people as being all victims.

You properly mentioned timestamps. There are many other important properties of good ASR system like vocabulary adaptability (if you can introduce new words) or streaming. Or confidences. Or latency of the output. Compared to Vosk models this model can not work in streaming manner, so not very suitable for real-time applications.

But in general the model is robust and accurate and trained on the amount of speech we never dreamed about in Vosk. We will certainly benefit from this model as a teacher (together with others like gigaspeech models). I recently wrote about it https://alphacephei.com/nsh/2022/06/14/voting.html
