That's not how libraries work. Libraries pay for a book once (assuming it wasn't donated to them.)

Yeah, the zoom, that almost needs to be customized per website, sigh. But one of the worst misfeatures for old (and maybe not so old) eyes, is the gray text on some "pastel" background. Contrast helps readability (as does a carefully chosen font), but "modern" designers seem to think contrast is bad or outdated or whatever.

> You can't do anything about human rights abuses if you can't grow food to eat.

As a society, we (still) can grow food to eat. You aren't saying we should disregard human rights abuses right now just because we might not be able to grow enough food some time in the future?

Again, I'm not saying to disregard climate change, I just find it very disingenious to say it's the only story that matters: it's not.
> Even truck mechanics, cooks, and the like have plenty of opportunities to see missile launches.

Not necessarily. Based on my time in the US Army, the opportunities for most troops to see missile launches first hand are fairly low. Even for those of us who were in air defense. Live fire exercises were rare, and we never got to fire any in Afghanistan.
The effect is much more pronounced in Arab countries than in ex USSR countries, so this is definitely not it.
A missile in flight looks like a small aircraft from the ground.
With enough inputs and maybe a test shot I think an AI could figure out the exact shot to hit the target quickly.

Both of those moves are sensible given the circumstances.

What was not responsible was dropping rates 75bps in 2019, the “mid-cycle adjustment” period referenced here. The economy was already roaring and it was widely acknowledged even at the time that this was unnecessary and a concession to political pressure.

https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/fed-funds-rate-hist...

Those politically-motivated cuts left the fed with no maneuvering room when (inevitably) a crisis did strike. And we’re still feeling the ramifications of that today, because now we get to do those rate increases during what’s already a recession, instead of during a booming 2019 economy.

This whole situation is a textbook lesson on “why you don’t lower rates while the economy is already roaring just to pump the president’s numbers a little further going into an election year”.

Thanks for the work separating out the solutions. It really helps compare the sort of code I'd actually write in those languages. Also, what is the reasoning behind no numpy? I'd never do something like nbody or Mandelbrot without numpy or torch in my actual job, so it isn't idiomatic in a way. Not a complaint, I could always fork it if I cared enough, just curious about the reasoning. I know pypy didn't really want to be involved. Thought it might be like that for numpy?
It has infrastructure, if we mean railways, electrical grid, etc. Freedom, obviously not so much.
Maybe the article does not mention it, but the same outlet discusses fracking in Germany in another article.

https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/fracking-verbot-london-...

> Politisch ist das Thema umstritten. Im ARD-Deutschlandtrend vom August zu den energiepolitischen Maßnahmen hielten die Förderung von sogenanntem Fracking-Gas in Deutschland nur 27 Prozent für richtig, 56 Prozent für falsch.

Deepl:
> Politically, the issue is controversial. In the August ARD Deutschlandtrend on energy policy measures, only 27 percent thought the promotion of so-called fracked gas in Germany was right, while 56 percent thought it was wrong.

It probably takes years to get these resources online anyway.

However, Germany also has unused nuclear powerplants that are also kind of taboo, but public opinion is much more in favor of those.

Something has to give.

If this were true then the Middle East would be full of peaceful democracies.
But the reality in Europe's oil supplying countries is rather different.

Come on, the whole Energiewende was full of wishful thinking. Nuclear power plants were going to be closed while there was no prospect on another energy source that could fill the gap. So gas was suddenly declared a 'sustainable' energy source, conveniently ignoring the CO2 emissions and the fact that gas is not renewable.
And now Germany is reopening coal power plants. How sustainable is that?

The must be annoying for you to easily try out the feature discussed in this post.
This argument is weak for relying on additional factors, and still doesn't make the case it intends.

The hypothetical not only bans renting but also mortgages, which is an artificial constraint introduced to make the case stronger. One could, of course, ban renting without also banning mortgages.

But even then the argument is insufficient to answer the original claims. Even if we grant that there is a non-zero value in the timing flexibility provided by use of capital, how does this argument answer the claim that the profits flowing to investors are outsized, distorting the housing market?

In other words, short of banning renting entirely, one might propose a tight cap on renting profits, putting returns more in line with other investment opportunities. This argument doesn't address that possibility.

(And yes, I know some landlords struggle to make any profits at all. This is not the win people who bring it up seem to think it is, because it suggests that some people are distorting real estate markets for no gain at all!)
It’s only the personal plans that lock you into godaddy for custom domains not the business plans obvs.
When you have a planned shutdown date, you stop doing maintenance work that is needed to continue operating after that date. Maybe there's some leeway, maybe there isn't. Depends on how much maintenance was skipped, and how much maintenance is required de jure and how much maintenance is required de facto.

Ideally, on the day after planned shutdown, your reactor would be in need of refueling, and all the other large maintenance items; and you wouldn't have the parts on hand to do it. 19 years is plenty of time to align the schedules.
I'm happy for you as big fan of the nuclear reactor in the skies. I wonder though, what is the feasibility of energy storage? Is it too expensive to have enough storage till midnight?
I’m surprised this doesn’t yet exist, to be honest.

I stopped pirating music/shows exclusively because Netflix and Spotify were more convenient. I now have mixed opinions on the ethics of piracy, but a convenient, inexpensive option for consuming books (and audiobooks) seems like a no-brainer.

It's only a problem is he's unmotivated and he wants to write. If he just decides not to write then, it's pretty simple for him to move not. Not so for the readers who pirated his first book, found it expanded their minds and now are hungry for more by the same author.
The fed’s job is to keep inflation under control, not to “engineer (a) financial crisis.” If the fed raises the interest rates and sinks us into a financial crisis, it was a mistake, as seen during the great depression.

If you want working class pay to go up, go vote for people who will help working class pay up instead of assigning conspiracy theories to the fed.
The inability for both sides to see their own ugly behavior is common to both as well. It’s really remarkable how alike they are.

I once heard someone describing politics as in the shape of a “C”, where both “left and right” actually bend towards each other and being ultimately closer to each other than they are to middle of the road political thought. I think it’s a clever and accurate visual.

At any rate, I don’t engage in debate with zealots, there is nothing they can say that will change my mind, and there is nothing I can say to change theirs. That is one of the reasons why both left and right zealots always try to use authoritarianism to move the needle in their direction. Have a good day
Yes, yes, of course. And women who don't like bro culture in Silicon Valley should set up their own companies.

The question isn't if we've reached a global maximum (we obviously haven't) it's if we can do better than thousands of years of trial and error?

I can see the rationale for taking tradition as a baseline and tweaking it to better fit modern times. That's what every generation has done. The direction many of us are heading, however, is to assume that tradition is all bogus and we can do better today with just the scientific method.

I hope if the replication crisis in psychology has taught us anything it's that science applied to people is still in its infancy and we are not yet at a place where we can entirely discard the wisdom of our ancestors.

Isn't this kind of the case for climate change too? I certainly don't feel like I can personally affect it in any way. As a society, we can affect climate change, but so can we affect nuclear weapons etc.
None of this is mutually exclusive to a single entry system. Tracking where money is coming and going can be done any number of ways that is not double entry bookkeeping.

These are also examples of cash basis accounting which is much simpler. When you get into accrual basis and revenue recognition especially is where the double entry stuff (IMO) just starts to break down. Meaningless accounts get invented just for the sake of having something to balance against, and your entries are no longer tied to actual money changing hands.

There are far too many people who don't understand the difference between power and energy.

If you give me a lump of coal you give me power. If I burn that coal I get power.

Renewable energy is cheap. Renewable power isn't.

Nuclear energy is expensive. Nuclear power isn't.

You can't run a modern economy on renewables because you can't turn off society when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow.

Europe is now learning this painful lesson.
I've seen a couple coat colors that don't seem right. There was one where the cat was dark blue with a very light blue around the muzzle extending up to a strip between the eyes. It was basically your normal white spotting, but it's not genetically possible to have pigmentation in that pattern (barring chimerism, of course).

There were also a couple questionable ones where they had very studdy cheeks, but were tricolor (calico, tortishell, patched tabby). They distinctly looked like intact males, but you need two x chromosomes to have a tricolor cat. Or chimerism, of course, which I've learned over the years makes it impossible to ever say a specific pattern isn't possible.

It did get me wondering though, with the fact that most apparently male cats with tricolor markings genetically have an extra X chromosome, whether they would still get the big stud cheeks. I'd imagine they would, since they've got a Y chromosome and then I assume the X chromosomes turn on and off randomly the same way they do in females.

In less nerdy news, if you go through about a dozen pictures, you'll find that some of them are out of proportion or have their mouths open, but have the coat color in the mouth.

Because copying information from one computer to another costs nothing (except for the electricity and internet access). Any attempt to restrict that capability is restricting your freedom.

The moment my work (I assume you mean work as in "labor") becomes that easy to replicate, it will become worthless. But there are certain laws of physics which make it quite improbable to happen.
That never sounded good to anybody with good judgement. Russia is largely self sufficient for basic goods (food, energy), meaning that while their economy takes a hit, it’s a financial problem more than an existential crisis. The same can’t be said for Germany, who have systematically destroyed domestic energy production and now are facing an unprecedented economic catastrophe. Not just a financial problem, but a real economic problem of being able to acquire sufficient quantities of the basic inputs to a contemporary first world economy.

Trump famously pointed out the folly of this strategy to a chorus of arrogant snickering from the contingent of German bureaucrats. Not so funny now…

> Not to speak of all the people who like to tag along on hikes way above the tree line wearing sneakers, all cotton clothes, no rain gear or the like and with a stylish little backpack

I don't like this gatekeeping mentality. You can go hike with pretty much any shoes and clothes. Sure, hiking boots are going to be more comfortable if you hike a lot, but if you don't own any you can absolutely go hike in your everyday shoes.

Same for cotton clothes. They aren't the best for hiking, but you really don't need to go spend 500€ at a sporting goods shop just to walk in the mountains.

The root of the problem is lack of market forces. When a union organizes against company owners for better salaries and benefits, they have to leave something on the table for the business owners who will otherwise just close their doors and open some other type of business, maybe even elsewhere.

With public workers, they are organizing indirectly against tax payers. Tax payers can't close their doors - they have to pay their taxes. Although I've had my eye out for many years, I've never come across a good solution that would make this relationship work as well as unions versus business owners.

Libertarians hold off. The answer is not privatization. Some public services (e.g. NHS) are far more cost efficient and match the quality of private competition. Having used both NHS and the US system, I'll avoid the mess and gamble of the US system pretty much anytime it is convenient.

And you can't privatize national defense for what I hope are obvious reasons.

So how can you preserve the factors offered by public services and then somehow determine fair wages? That question doesn't seem to have an obvious answer. The best I've come up with myself is to allow the private sector to compete with public services and then simply match the free market wages.
I feel blanket statements are generally not a good fit for serious discussions. We have to keep asking the questions that will guide us closer to better data.

I can't imagine the only good studies being on games. I'm sure similar studies for other forms of entertainment/art exist too. Games are also harder to pirate, and has its own problems that are virtually non-existent for books.

And if we were to go down that route, we can further divide the affected people into publishers, authors, book stores etc. and only then can we figure out how the moral compass of each of us is really adjusted :)

Big movie studios/publishers making billions of dollars? Hard to feel sorry for them.

Another interesting read with some ideological bends I can't completely buy into is Rob Henderson & his writing on "Luxury Beliefs".

Basically the concept you may notice if you are in HCOL blue urban elite circles..

Well to do left of center people who espouse discouragement of / being against many traditional concepts (monogamy, two parent households, kids after marriage, strict discipline, follow the law, being drug-free, going to college for a career, etc) .. but largely actually follow it and is how they / their parents got where they are.

And either way they have the means to not be effected by the negative effects of this non-traditionalism.

However if you are middle/lower class and follow the same non-traditional path, the personal costs to you & your offspring of frequent drug use, being a single parent, etc are almost insurmountable and are some of the leading causes of generational poverty.

That is - it is easy to say "hard work doesn't pay off, do drugs, break the law, and free love" when you are going from an elite (fully paid for by parents) university campus to start your career & live in NYC/SF/LA/Boston (with college & parents helping you with job connections, and parents helping underwrite your housing until you get on your feet). For them the worst cost of failure is moving back with mom&dad to their comfortable leafy suburb.

> how is the ruble doing on international currency exchange?

I always find it strange when people post comments like this. It is a clear indicator you don't understand financial markets.

If you were to look at the data yourself, you would see in Oct 2017 it was 58.11 and in Oct 2022 it is 57.88 (vs USD)

In your opinion, what does this indicate? FX is always "Currency vs currency", so has the Ruble weakened? Perhaps the US dollar strengthened? What caused the change? Is the change even meaningful?

Is the change "market driven" or has the state intervened?

It looks like the state has been actively defending it, so what is your actual point?
