> This is how soft totalitarianism works: no gulags, no jail time, just being excluded from the marketplace.

Are we supposed to take this rhetoric seriously? The marketplace IS excluding certain types of expression, this is true. In fact it's American conservatives who, for the past generation, have pushed hard for uncompromising free market solutions to every social problem. Remember the "gay wedding cake" legislation? Congrats! Now societal norms can be defined by the market, instead of by inalienable human rights.

And now that the market is saying something conservatives don't like, they tuck tail and change the narrative? I hope they realize how pathetic and cowardly this looks.
I use to think this too, but now I believe debt and interest is right up there with energy in terms of economic growth.

Without debt, economic growth nearly zero sum. Waiting for the money to exist and then spending it is just slow and inefficient most of the time. Show me a country that is under-banked and has little access to loans and I will show you a poor country.
You can train it but not for commercial purposes. Nobody cares what you do at home, but if you want to use someone else's work to make money they will come knocking for their cut.
"A lot of people, including establishment "experts" didn't think Russia was going to invade and called US estimations war-mongering."

And they were all proven definitively wrong, the only war mongerer is Putin, who just escalated his invasion of Ukraine by ordering a partial mobilization. If you think that the GRU doesn't have the password for Snowden's twitter then you are very gullible.
Well and that’s the point a lot of people miss - that $9T isn’t like $9T one-dollar bills.

Essentially the government got to spend $9T “for free” (don’t come at me inflation hawks) one time and this is the accounting convention that forces us to remember that happened. If the Fed just decided to mark those treasuries to 0 and not collect the interest, who is going to stop them?

Things generally get very weird when you get to national-account level accounting for countries with reserve currencies.

> What are Unix man-pages but comments about the APIs they describe?

Documentation. Obviously not the same thing as inline comments in the code. You can generate documentation using comments (i.e. jsdoc), but comments are the weakest form of guidance for other developers. Types don't replace documentation, but are part of the same goal: making code easier to consume.

> When type-declarations become more complicated than the code they are describing

Do you find this happening to you often? JavaScript is a very permissive language, and most JS devs learn to write code in a way that is difficult to type. That's a part of the learning curve of the language. Part of using TS well, is realizing that complicated types are a smell for complicated behavior, and modeling your data in a conceptually simple way.

It's not just about labeling everything string or number, but making it impossible to use the code the wrong way.

> But if a declaration is very complicated how can we be sure there's no errors in it?

Simple. You test them. Same as any other code. How do you test your comments?

This would be agreeable to me, at least in principle; the specifics would be important. However, the police force is used in all manner of ways.

You continue to downplay or ignore that this is the role police are put to, in the real world, and that it routinely results in violence and unnecessary incarceration

You can test this yourself. Flip your bike upside down, shift it into a gear that you use to accelerate, take a torque wrench with hex socket and put it in the left pedal socket on the backside of the crank like you would when installing it. Then test the torque required to get the wheel moving. You would find that these numbers are minimal.

Also gyroscopic effect has very little to do with the bike staying upright. The reason a bike stays upright is because of the trail interaction and camber thrust. When the bike leans left, camber thrust of the tire makes it turn left, which moves bottom of the bike to the left, correcting the initial lean, while the geometric trail prevents the tire from turning left completely.
Data point of one and all but I chatted with a Meta recruiter a month ago and asked specifically about the hiring freeze that was on-going at the time. They mentioned they were still hiring for more senior engineers so YMMV.
The large failing with this test is that it assumes the time to get the relevant page data from the database and render it to HTML is 0.

Because when I'm using my camera I make sure not to do things like walk naked in front of it forgetting that there's a camera there? For other people the thing they don't do while on a video call might be having an affair, or using drugs, or...

Your argument seems similar to "why would you care about a microphone spying on you 24/7 if you're willing to sometimes have conversations that might be overheard?"

Yes obviously when you use your webcam you're aware that it's not impossible you're being spied on, and some people may choose to never have a webcam for that reason. For those of us who are happy to take that risk for video calls, we don't have to also accept that we can be spied on any time the laptop is open.
What would it take to have "natural pricing"? Short of radical proposals like going back to the gold standard or switching to crypto, what way could the Fed operate that would allow "natural pricing"? What if the Fed targeted 0% inflation, instead of 2%? I realize that inflation has many definitions, but I got the impression that they're reasonably correlated over long periods of time. With a zero-percent inflation target, what consequences would we expect? I think we would need higher interest rates on average, for starters. This would temper the housing problem. It would also reduce total debt, and total debt increases are associated with financial instability.

And this is why they aren't raising it more. If they do, and that doesn't work, people will act like the train conductor broke off the handle.
Time for a hot take:

You don't need to make your website fast, all you have to do is not make it slow in the first place.

Partially or fully generating a web site client side can be plenty fast, the slowness tends to come from using some bloated framework to do so.

A large part of the market has been very slow to accept reality. At every Fed announcement, you see more people coming around. The Fed is struggling with how to slap people in the face without actually crashing the economy. This time JP kept to the planned increase and instead used stronger language about the future hikes.

You changed the topic into a general kvetch about Amazon (that's a generic tangent) using heated denunciatory rhetoric (that's a flamewar tangent). Also with pre-existing talking points (clear sign of a battle comment as opposed to a curious one).

I'm not defending Amazon, btw. Their behavior can be inflammatory and your comment can also be inflammatory. That in fact is how flamewars work.

Fascinating to learn about Nalanda and Takshashila University.

About the latter ("considered to be one of the earliest universities in the world") and the revival of the university - I recently started reading a book called, The Shape of Ancient Thought: Comparative Studies in Greek and Indian Philosophies. I'm interested in learning about the influence of Buddhism on Greek (and later European) philosophy. I know almost nothing about the history of India, so it's been a fun educational journey.

The name of Chandragupta Maurya I hadn't heard before, but I see he is an important historical figure, the grandfather of Ashoka. And they're said to be from the Shakya family from which Gautama Buddha descended.

I've enjoyed your other thoughtful comments in this thread, even the controversial one criticising the "deliberately mistranslated" scriptures. I don't know the truth of the matter, but perhaps the translators simply lacked understanding? And I can see that some words are impossible to translate, with so much meaning lost or wrongly transformed in the process.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge and perspective. Especially this comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32929993 ) was very thought-provoking, one of my favorite comments ever on this forum.

Rust is literally designed with the `unsafe` keyword that tells the compiler: "hey you won't be to prove this is correct, but I'm going to do it anyway, don't check it".

Even Powell has said they are realizing how little they know about how inflation “works”.

Claiming I am uninformed because I don’t recite the spoken traditions that even the expert in charge admits to not fully understanding is just regurgitating memes from memory; you don’t come off well informed, but like a skipping record.

They don’t have an incentive to NOT keep people poor either. They don’t really care since they’re going ahead anyway with policy they admit will hurt households; deny it again, please. I need a laugh.

The outcome will be one of making cars and homes harder for poorer people to buy; Powell admitted that today and at every other rate hike. He’s testing “what the market will bear”.

Human biology rules us, not social principles hashed out on paper. See my comment history. The result will be clear; haves will be able to afford buying up assets as prices come down. Have nots will be priced out.

Don’t forget too our Congress refuses to deviate from our social history. The Senate was described by Madison as a firewall to protect the opulent minority from the majority. You can carry on that’s “not how it works” all you want. But “on the ground” the result is clear.

I lost all faith in the article at the mention of the embodiment of class-struggle in Bolshevism. Perhaps the author meant to synecdoche one by the other, but the lack of clarity ultimately left me disinterested in believing the author had any more lucidity in anything else. Taking the author at face value, then what of the Mensheviks, S.R.s?

To go on further and to find justification in Nietzsche is absurd. I could just as easily drag Jonas Čeika into the conversation and point to evidence that Marx and Nietzsche complement each other. Given that the author doesn't even attempt to rebut such a connection, I can't help but think they are vastly under-read in this area and as such simply wrote whatever drivel they wanted without actually engaging in the topic.

At the end of the day he's engaging in a classic trope of reality construction by invoking common sense and truth. His brand of reality has its own unsaid boundaries - simply identify ideas that he would claim as heresy and the worldview he holds will be outlined as the very ideological reality he claims to dispute.

Testing for melting point depression is a common diagnostic method used in chemistry to check for impurities. Pure compounds melt at known temperatures, and typically do so within a narrow range (+/- 0.5 °C). Impurities almost always lower the melting point and widen this band. I spent a lot of my undergrad chem courses packing my products into capillary sized test-tubes and watching them slowly melt.

Some companies leverage this effect to make non-reversible temperature indicators that change color at specific temperatures.

> the easiest way for these companies to let go of staff right now is to dissolve entire teams.

The options seem to be:

* Cut risky or underperforming products or teams and focus company resources on the products and teams that are doing well.

* Or cut staff across the board, leaving all teams struggling to succeed with fewer resources.

The first option seems wiser. "More wood behind fewer arrows", as the saying goes.
"X artist" generally means "someone that produces Xs that are art" or "someone that uses X to make art". given the context it is likely the latter.
> Is that removing liquidity? Not really, it's just decreasing the active injection of liquidity that the Fed has been doing for the past 15 years.

This is a pretty ideologically based statement. The fed is quite literally removing liquidity from the system. They aren’t “actively” adding any liquidity and haven’t been for months.

For context, yes it’s helpful to keep in mind the build up of the balance sheet, but the spin here is overly politicized.

> How can a nuclear armed country with a 100 million population advantage possibly lose this war? Do these people assume Russia would never mobilise its population? Or would never use its nuclear weapons?

Did you ever read about the Vietnam war? Or the war of the USSR in Afghanistan? In both cases a nuclear power effectively lost the war. So it is definitely possible that something similar happens again.

> taking on debt for a depreciating asset is never a good idea if you can avoid it.

Even that isn't necessarily true - if one is broke but one needs a car for a better job they need to take on debt for the car. The debt definitely isn't an appreciating or incoming earning asset, but it is a good choice.
Not to mention the haircuts.
It definitely happens.

Agreed, but that's not really relevant to the discussion.

> My point is strictly that people always claim that X is going to cause inflation and then just wait until inflation occurs to say "Aha, X does cause inflation" while doing 0 analysis to show that it was X as opposed to literally any other reason.

But we are talking about the money supply. Prices are measured in units of money. You are suggesting that there is not a reason to think that changes in the size of the money supply influence price inflation. That makes no sense. Unless that additional money is just being systematically hoarded which seems unlikely in the long run.

Put another way, a mismatch between the money supply and the demand for money (for use as a medium of exchange) is essentially what price inflation is, almost by definition. So whatever the underlying "cause" of inflation, it's also always fair to say that the money supply was or became too large to keep it in check.

I'm from Germany. I'm pretty sure I am personally free of guilt today, but I'm convinced that most Germans during the Third Reich were not.

Because it's an act. Poverty isn't.
Long time after various Xerox publications on desktop computing, after long time of crappyfication of desktops to lock users, some people start to realize that a desktop is a nice thing and... There are no desktops around in the modern world.

Perhaps in 10 more years Emacs will have something Tioga has had in the past (like a bit more graphics capabilities)...

Lots of people who wished the natural interest rate was lower liked to blame the Fed instead of fundamentals. But if the Fed has set the interest rates too low we would have had runway inflation from an overheating economy instead of a low prime age employment % (which suggests the interest rates were too high).
