Tax residency. For nearly a year neither am in Russia nor use a Russian bank nor pay taxes to Russian government yet had to encounter similar attitude where I was obligated to provide a non-Russian ID in order to continue using some services.

no way for me to do this. most companies are not like this but it feels like gradual lockout and the walls are closing in. thankfully I don't have family to support, but some do
That's not what I'm asking at all. I'm asking if she was purposefully targeted (assassination) or if she was in a house where other's were the targets (seems to be the case).

Why be a jerk?
How is this different than Alphabet with their ads business and cloud computing? Almost everything else is minuscule at best in comparison.
There is one marked difference - the waves of russian peasants were armed and supplied by the industrial might of the United States of America. Now, they are armed and supplied by a nation with the industrial output smaller than most European second-tier states.
This question has a good follow-up: and how it affects the chance of nukes flying everywhere?
There is always a "Server" somewhere. Serverless just abstracts it for you so you don't have a physical server to ssh into, maintain it etc. It also gives you flexibility in terms of running it only when you need to execute certain tasks/functions (e.g. AWS Lambda)

To US government. It holds a lot of short term debt that it continuously rolls over into new short term debt. If the rate go up, new short term debt will become much more expensive to service.

Here is a simple example with made up (but not completely off base) figures. Assume US government has debt amounting to 100% GDP. Assume also that it collects taxes amounting to 20% of GDP. If rates are 2%, then interest payments are 2% of GDP, which is 10% of the budget. Now, if bond rates go to, say, 6% (current mortgage rates), then interest payments are 6% of GDP, which is now actually 30% of the budget.

Basically, at high debt-to-GDP ratio, small changes in the interest rates cause huge swings in how much budget is spent on interest payments. This money has to come from somewhere, and more debt is only a short term answer.
Russian has been having logistic problems to supply their troop of 200K men. I was wondering how they could supply a fully mobilized troop. 200K at a time?
https://www.crfb.org/blogs/just-how-big-are-federal-interest...

> According to the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) latest baseline, the federal government will spend $400 billion on interest payments on the national debt this fiscal year (FY). That's equivalent to just over 8 percent of all federal revenue collections and roughly $3,055 per household ... Interest costs and the national debt could be even higher if interest rates continue their upward trajectory and outperform CBO's latest economic forecast. Each one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase FY 2022 interest spending by $38 billion at today's debt levels.

As the interest rate increases, those payments increase also - this is money that is spent and doesn't "get us anything more" - it's just maintaining the current debt load. The site linked is obviously arguing for "spend less money" but the math checks out, and if the debt never goes down interest rates can have a major effect. (Now sure, some/most of this debt is paid to the government itself.)
>I actually do not understand the source of inflation

I think this is the source of the problem:

https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-lab...

Demand is coming from 100% of the population, but supply comes only from those who are working. Thanks to Covid, the supply of workers is less, but also there is a long term trend (maybe compensated for by productivity gains..)

It's interesting to compare it with this one:

https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-p...

This one shows the percent of people working of employment age. This doesn't look so bad, but the people not of employment age also create demand.

IMHO, the only price that really matters is the cost of labor (no matter what they say). IMHO, because the value of money is defined by average annual salary (the real value is work, not money).

Real estate collapse isnt so far fetched now. If people cant save for deposits and their monthly disposable income lower how can they take mort gages?
Something dramatic is going to have to happen for SWE salaries to drop significantly. I have a feeling if SWEs take a 20%+ haircut on salaries things are going to be absolutely abysmal for people in other roles.
The job market seems to have cooled substantially from where I'm looking. I have friends at a lot of different major tech companies and hiring has slowed or stopped in all cases. Earlier this year it was full steam ahead hiring, now it's harder to get reqs, reqs are being pulled, etc.

Now, if you have really in-demand skills / experience that may not matter much. But companies are slamming on the breaks. If I was laid off tomorrow I'd expect it to take twice as long to find a job as it would've at the end of 2021 or early this year. Not "there aren't any jobs" but I wouldn't consider this a "hot" market for the majority of roles.
> It's very interesting to me that I've gotten two comments asking if I believe that conspiracies happen. Of course they happen. But it's pretty rare for a conspiracy to be responsible for everything bad happening to a person.

Yeah, I actually expected you to mean the absurd, but I wanted to make clear that conspiracy theories are not the same as absurd as this gets too often conflated.

> Most conspiracy theories are motivation theories - I believe that this group has a reason to collude for these reasons. If that motivation is real, it's entirely likely that something LIKE that conspiracy is happening or has happened. False Flag operations do exist, but not everything is a False Flag.

From my intuition I'd say False Flag happens very rarely, yeah (but it erodes trust). And I would go a bit further and say that only because something is plausible doesn't mean it's likely, but the lower bound of my statement would be to not outright deny the possibility.

We are mostly in agreement here to be clear.

> The problem with conspiracy theories is that when you start believing them, you start defending them, and that's when families get angry at each other and split and people get cut off from their usual support groups.

That's not exclusive to conspiracy theories. Everything slightly political can easily make people angry including myself (tho not resentful). One needs to gauge with whom you can talk about political topics even if disagreeing. I personally do this less/not online tho, except for people I know for longer.
You ignore that entities other than 'the West' (one homogenous blob apparently) and Russia have agency. NATO doesn't expand, countries voluntarily join because they don't want Russia to fuck them over (again). Your points have been made by Mearsheimer and his ilk many times before. You people keep asserting that Russia is a superpower without backing it up with anything. Your worldview is stuck in the Cold War, you are unable to absorb new information. As was made clear by recent events, having nukes is not sufficient to be a superpower. Hell, fucking Pakistan has nukes. Iran, too, what a superpower, right? Maybe we should ask all of them for permission before we use the shitter, eh?

It's not like the mainstream US narrative is correct either, but you are so wrong it's not even funny. One of the bigger reasons we are in this mess is that 'the West' was too timid, not because it was too aggressive. If you give Russia an inch, they are (and always were) going to take a mile, because they see willingness to compromise as weakness. Weakness provokes, strength deters. But what the fuck do I know, I only live in a post-communist country. I'm sure some tankie or a champagne socialist will be along shortly to explain that if only we would all be nice to each other we would live in some post scarcity Star Trek paradise already and why the military budget should be used to house the poor instead...
As someone that has been exploring real estate for the first time, after speaking with some people it seems that mortgages have generally been less expensive than rent? Good luck finding something like that with today's prices and interest rates.
Why would I be qualified to judge what's normal for something I know nothing about? I'm not an election official.

How does the lack of explanation prove anything? There could be a valid reason you don't know about.

How does this prove widespread election fraud? You have no proof. At best you have a suspicious situation but no other evidence. But you believe there was widespread fraud, enough to change the vote for Biden?
Just wait for China to start arming them. The industrial powerhouse of today's world. And that is realistically a possibility.
> This war is already lost by Russia precisely because the generals and leaders are too far from the frontline. They are using people as pawns.

> What he means is the application loads data, the user takes an action, and the front end code handles updating the objects locally, then sends messages to the backend telling it what the new data state should be.

But you don't have to do it like this at all. I don't understand what this has to do with GraphQL, you can make the frontend never update local state and only fetch from the server if you want. That's an implementation detail not related to GraphQL, REST, or any other API format.

> No matter how you try to look at it, spreading business logic out across your applications various layers always has unintended consequences for maintainability and even scalability.

I agree with you here, but for:

> In any case, Graphql may have capabilities that look like they help keep business logic in the backend, but it doesn't stop programmers from putting business logic in the front end anyway.

Again an implementation detail, if you're the tech lead, just tell your devs (or architect the app in such a way as to) not to put business logic into the frontend.

For running / mountain biking / lifting I have a number of specific songs I could call out. Too many to list. For other activities, like reading, or coding, I think in terms of genres not individual songs. So when I'm reading for example, I'll just go to Youtube and put on a playlist of classical or synthwave (usually). For coding I might go with classical, synthwave, blues, or even metal.

To go back to the running/biking/lifting thing, here are a few of my standout songs:

* Black Sabbath - Iron Man

* Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart

* Iron Maiden - Die With Your Boots On

* Metallica - Seek and Destroy

* Whitesnake - Bad Boys

* AC/DC - Who Made Who

* AC/DC - Hells Bells

* AC/DC - Thunderstruck

* AC/DC - Highway to Hell

* Judas Priest - Breaking The Law

* Motley Crue - Wildside

* Armored Saint - Burning Question

* Armored Saint - Last Train Home

* Anthrax - Indians

* Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction

* Motorhead - Ace of Spades

* W.A.S.P. - King of Sodom and Gomorrah

* W.A.S.P. - Wild Child

* W.A.S.P. - Restless Gypsy

* K.I.S.S. - Pyschocircus

* Whitesnake - Children of the Night

* K.I.S.S. - Lick It Up

* Cinderella - Somebody Save Me

* Cinderella - Push Push

* Cinderella - Hell on Wheels

And about twelve bazillion more
Given your other comment, when you say "ongoing," what you mean is some of the assets they purchased remain on the Fed's books. If they don't continue buying, the fact that they still hold some of it doesn't have any further impact on rates on debt being offered in the future. They're doing more selling than buying at this point, which drives rates up. You don't need to dump everything at once to change the direction of movement. Think of like the strategic oil reserves. Selling any of it drives prices down. You don't need to sell literally all of it.
> Sounds like the ML community made a trade-off

Nope, AMD never gave them a choice.
Yes this seems a bit reactive. This wasn’t going into a flame war. How have we become so soft to react so strongly to topics like this. The shortcomings and criticism of Western scholarship has a long and storied history - this isn’t something new.
Thank you so much for what you do.
A distinction without a difference, since this was just someone who was hoping to be the beneficial owner of an AI with an enforceable copyright interest. Recall the failure of the photographer who allowed monkeys to play with his camera equipment, leading one of them to take a selfie photo that became famous.

The photographer asserted copyright on the basis that he had brought his camera there, befriended the monkeys, and set his equipment up in such a way that even a monkey could use it and get a quality image, but his claim to authorship was rejected and so he was unable to realize any profit from selling the photo - although I'm sure he made it up on speaking tours telling the story of how he got it.

To be sure, AI created art is done in response to a prompt provided by a human, but unless that human has done all the training and calculation of weights, they can't claim full ownership on the output from the model. There's a stronger case where a human supplies an image prompt and the textual input describes stylistic rather than structural content.

There are protests in Germany? Really?

I passed one last week. It was one city block long. I've seen bigger protests organised by this political party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_Pogo_Party_of_German...
Given that mortgage rates recently rose past 6%, seems to me this latest rate increase is going to put strong pressure on house prices. The rate has a huge impact on the monthly payment required to service a loan, more so than is immediately apparent without doing the math.

People keep hoping or expecting this, yet prices keep going up. As long as wages for top earners keep rising, so will demand in expensive areas. Also, real estate did well in the 90s despite high interest rates, too.
Can you give a quick summary of LFP for people not in the know?

As a parent and someone who have acquaintances in China, I am encouraging many of my Chinese friends to get their kids out of the country right now, and not wait for Xi Jing Ping to declare himself emperor in October and preparing for war against Taiwan in the next 5 years. So their kids aren't ship fodders when China mobilize their citizens to get on ships that will be sank quickly and swiftly by US, Japanese and NATO navies.

That said, there's already a huge migration for many Chinese citizens, especially those from Shanghai, to Singapore and Malaysia this year, since now it's super hard to emigrate to US or Australia or Canada. The rich do see the writing on the wall. or rather, the many buses to the covid concentration camps.
If there's an exploit/problem in, say, a crypto library, Rust's ecosystem seems less resilient. Instead of just updating the library system wide, you have to get everyone to rebuild their applications with a safe version of the library (if it's even possible).

This has happened and will absolutely happen again. Just being "memory safe" will not prevent protocol errors, bad IVs, preventing timing attacks, or the other subtle things involved when doing cryptography on the wider internet.
Oh and house prices in some places are ridiculous too, not in the whiny "I can't afford a house" way (I can) but just looking at the market. They have little to do with the actual utility you get out of home ownership, but that's ok because you're getting a growth asset under an effectively govt-subsidized loan. How can you tell, compare to rent, which is just the price of living.

The average Russian family has been supporting their authoritarian leader and the war he started.
This is a separate discussion from whether or not there ought to be a paramilitary force. Anyone with a modicum of sense can see they modern police forces are full of under-trained thugs and brutes, who in many cases cause much more harm than they prevent. This does not prove that a police force shouldn't exist at all any more that a corrupt business proves that businesses shouldn't exist at all.

> Violence is a one trick pony. Hurting people is the only thing it does well.

Yes, and when your community is faced with organized violence perpetrated by people residing in your community, what is your non-violent solution? The only way to prevent further violence once it has occurred is by tracking people who committed the violence and detaining, reeducating, exiling, or killing them.

Yeah schema migrations are going to be interesting. Presumably those end up making a HUGE change to the WAL (since they could affect every stored row in a large table), which means LiteFS then has to send a truly giant chunk of data out to the replicas.

I wonder how this would present itself in real-world usage? Would the replicas go out-of-date for 10-30s but continue serving read-only traffic, or could there be some element of cluster downtime caused by this?
> Well Tether can only have two stable states $1 or $0.

Instability is often what kills short sellers.
You'd think that after 2008 it would be obvious that even experienced financial institutions can be fooled into ignoring red flags when money is on the line. Greed is a hell of a drug.

This same comment could have been posted about LUNA and large crypto investors like 3AC 6 months ago.

> LUNA/UDT is an innovative part of the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem, and it's insane to claim that the global industry operates closely with a "scam that soon unravels" without the industry players being worried at all. Large investors are not some shadowy operations which can just close their eyes when they are exposed to risk.

The red flags around Tether are many, but the biggest is that it would be easy for them to prove that USDT is backed 1:1 with USD if it actually was. The fact that they've consistently avoided offering such proof is all the evidence I need. It's the same reason no one believes Craig Wright is Satoshi.
Can you elaborate? When I think of tech I think of venture funded (equity side), not debt funded.

Maybe Meta and Alphabet has gotten to the point where they don't need more people? The return from adding another guy optimizing ads isn't that high when you already have 10 000 people doing it.

Google has 3x more people today than when I worked there, and those people are working on the same products as back then. There must be some point which it no longer makes sense to hire more people.
This wont help inflation, interest rates are still effectively negative when inflation is considered.

What it will do is rise i interest payments on the US sovereign debt very significantly.

The US has two options, as far as I can tell.

1. Slash govt. spending (entitlements and defense) and rise taxes on the laptop class (that's us folks!)

2. Accept structural inflation and high interest rates.

The Dollar dominance is coming to an end, we weaponized it too much, so option 3, exporting inflation is out.

Politically 2 is easier, but in the long run disastrous.

Scratch that (true, but the whole economy I counter needs cheap enough money to grow); the U.S. government is the biggest borrower I counter-claim. So taxes got to go up while the economy somehow keeps growing for this to be sustainable. Ergo, it is not in a matter of years, and I would say that is the common "secret."

The hope is that everyone is going to march in line and not go out asking for raises due to inflation; so that we end up with "hyper-inflation" before the supply chain system stabilizes, maybe the Russo-Ukraine conflict sees some light, and the U.S. Treasury can decide they can't sustain this any longer.

Thus, we are praying for all these pieces to kinda fall into place, so we don't end up with hyper-inflation, recession and interest rates going down all at the same time.
