What the government has announced so far isn't really "trickle down economics". Yes, there are tax cuts specifically at the high end of the income spectrum (and 'only' to abolish the additional income tax rate created relatively recently in 2010 to go back as things had been since 1988, so not exactly revolutionary) but most of them, certainly in term of cost, are for everyone and for companies.

I think the main worry here is not those tax cuts per se, at a 'normal' time markets would have clapped, it's that they mean higher deficit at a time when national debt has already ballooned during Covid, and that they push inflation higher and the Pound lower when the BoE is trying to do the opposite with steep interest rates rises as a consequence.

As per actual IMF statement: "given elevated inflation pressures in many countries, including the UK, we do not recommend large and untargeted fiscal packages at this juncture, as it is important that fiscal policy does not work at cross purposes to monetary policy."
But it’s so easy to portray doctors as money-hungry child predators! After all, doesn’t Beautiful Perfect American Capitalism encourage individuals to participate in the market, if not live their lives, as ruthless profit-seekers?

Aren’t politically and socially conservative, evangelical-proximal, moderately wealthy Tucker-Carlson-consuming Americans constantly re-trained into that frame of mind?

Is it so surprising that people see what they want to see, or expect to see, or have been taught to see, in everything around them?
this is why taxation is theft
It didn't happen in international waters. It happened in Danish, Swedish and Finnish waters. Denmark is in NATO.
All: quite a few comments in this thread swerved into religious flamewar and generic ideological flamewar. Those are not allowed on HN. They're nasty and repetitive, the two qualities we most want to avoid here. Therefore, please don't.

If you're going to comment on HN, please make sure you're up to date on https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and using the site in the intended spirit, which is curiosity. That is a quite different quality.
Men tend to occupy the extremes of society more than women. The good and the bad.
I think you are equivalating oh, let's call it mathematical ability, with, again for lack of a better term, social skills.

There is no a priori reason why high innate talent at abstract reasoning would correlate with high innate talent at reading subtle social signals.
That’s absurd, like cutting your nose to spite your enemy’s face. Putin would have sabotaged the Polish pipeline instead of his own, after all it’s not as if Russian-Polish relations can sink any lower.
These were the 8 men:

I've seen this reply several times under OP so I assume it's either automated or a mod, I'm not familiar enough with the site.

If a mod, why is a post answer which is basically bait, allowed to stay up, but people are being asked to refrain from answering it?

The topic is clearly ideological. A post defends a dictatorship with poor arguments and accused, among many other attrocities, of stealing thousands of babies. But the answers to such a troll are being asked to stop.
The machine learning space probably has the easiest time to adopt a new number format. The players are big enough to define their own silicon and training/inference don't even need the same number format. As long as it works on their new specialized training hardware it's good to go.

The real challenge is probably in the power efficiency. As far as I know right now power consumption is the biggest cost factor when training new models. Everything else seems like a minor trade-off but when accounting for the power consumption there is real money involved.

Is it implying that 62 people having such wealth is a problem, but also there should be more equality amongst the people who shouldn't have the wealth in the first place?
With samsung and the galaxy buds, you open the buds charging case. Then a pop up comes up on your phone, you tap connect and it installs the control panel for your buds and that's it. It seems to be the same on ios.
There's a theory that men are more extreme in many ways, so you'd expect them to be overrepresented at both the top and the bottom.

This mostly seems to get used to excuse obvious sexism, when it could be spun the other way, women may be the safe choice and we should expect some men to be poor and useless and there's nothing we can do to help them.

In this specific case, I think the commenter is technically correct, but also wrong on the big picture.
Kinda weird that scientific articles in Nature journals now have clickbait titles.
Im pretty sure that during peak post-covid bull run, 1 or 2 men were richer than half the world. The most updated article is from 2017 and it was already at 8 people.
I noticed that the Western press is quiet, too. Normally they'd scream "terrorist attack" on every front page. Now they only cite Ukraine claiming a Russian terror attack or say nothing.

If a Canadian pipe was blown up, the headlines would be different.
Being diplomatic doesn't guarantee results either. Guy that noticed people handling corpses should wash hands before doing medical operation got declared a nutcase and died in an asylum. People going after Sabine aren't that much better.

It's obvious particle physicists are stuck in a rut, their best theories can't unify gravity and QM or explain dark matter/energy.
This statistic is a pet peeve of mine because it's so misleading.

1) Something like 30-40% of people in the world have a negative net worth. For example: if you graduate college with loans, your net worth is negative. That means anyone with a positive net worth has a higher net worth than 30-40% of the world combined. But that is a meaningless fact.

2) This doesn't take other factors into account, like local cost of living. For example, someone with $100k in one country might be relatively wealthier than someone with $1m in another country. But if the first country has 10 people with $100k and the second country had one person with $1m, the Davos Report claim would sound the same.
It is hard to use twitter and not be drawn into negativity and conflict. I think that is mainly because it not only recommends tweets by people you follow. You quickly end up getting exposed to lots of content other people „liked“. Which more often than not is written by people with several mental illnesses, people in tough financial or social situations or successes like Nature papers, Conference acceptances and so on. There is very little room for „normal content“.

I’ve managed to promote one of my articles successfully there with ~1 million impressions, but otherwise using the platform has been a net negative.

Eugenics was all the rage in the early XX century. A lot of countries practiced mass sterilizations and other niceties to the "unfit", and the catholic church was among the few that opposed to it. Nazi Germany (and others) just pushed it to the limit.

You could still see some eugenics going on around the workd after II WW for some time.
Really sounds like the guy wanted to talk about himself instead of actually interview you. I hope you were able to send some feedback to his superior, since they missed a hire because of his shit.

Russia always wanted to use NS2, now it's the only option.

Damaging one pipe of NS2 makes it seem less obvious.
NanoPi R4S is nice and might be of interest to you. The RK3399/OP1 chipset seems well supported by mainline. Only potential drawback is the second GbE LAN is connected using USB3.0 internally on the mainboard. IIRC the XHCI protocol fixes the EHCI (USB2.0) CPU usage polling problem, and the interface can indeed reach close to line speed.
It might. The whole reason behind gamma correction is human brightness perception is logarithmic. By having more resolution at lower values, posits could correct for the reason we need in gamma in the first place, though maybe, not as well as gamma itself.

But if it mitigates error accumulation in perceptually-friendly ways, it might still have value in calculations (once there’s native support).
This is all motivated thinking with "It's Russia!" as the end goal.

Some of the NS attacks were on NATO territory. Denmark could invoke Article 5 were it found to be Russia. If "NATO" were in the equation, the saboteurs would have stayed in Swedish and Finnish waters, and even then it's iffy.
Happy to clear the misunderstanding :)
Or that if you're smart at one thing (math and physics), you're smart at completely unrelated things (social skills and PR).
I think remembering is not the key to learning. Learning is understanding, in the sense mentioned in cloogschicer's comment + making connections with existing concepts: this is usually called "transfer". Transfer enables us to solve novel problems. Transfer is the real test, and probably the final goal, of learning.
I had the urge to get into car repairs (despite not owning one) and so far Youtube and Google has served me well to do some simple repairs/maintenance.

While manuals are good, there is nothing better than a video precisely showing how it's done. Even better if it's a good quality video where the author explains all the details you might not know that are not mentioned in the manuals because a mechanic reading those manuals is supposed to know that.

I also love ChrisFix videos to acquire some general knowledge about repairs/maintenance, but if you can find videos for your particular model and job, it's much better.
Is trivially Easy to test for TRT. Taking testosterone shuts off your body’s LH and FSH production and those can be tested. These can be biologically mimicked with hCG and HMG but those don’t chemically show up on LH and FSH tests.
And honestly, it's not really about gaming the process, but succeeding in it. Gaming the process sounds to me like you are abusing some weakness in the system without doing the work required. That is not the case here imho.
It's my opinion that a lot of science today is theoretical BS. I'm glad sometimes, someone is pointing it out. When i do it myself, i get bombarded with hate. Sigh. even when it's not science, when it's about programming (my profession). And the one thing i learned is: PEOPLE WILL NOT CHANGE THEIR MIND. You can even come with proof and people wont change. They will just ignore u after you've proven it, and keep saying you're wrong. Of course, not everyone is like this, but most of the time it's the "experts" who are like this. Probably because they feel like their entire self image is under attack. Anyway.. life is life, people are people, we live in a society. Frustrating as it is, just remember to enjoy life from time to time, that's what's truly important.
The US is the only actor that makes any sense to me, especially after Blinken's statement yesterday (~ "it was in nobody's interest, but would you look at the benefits!").

Combine that with the US naval activity in the exact area around the time, and also the "anti"-mine "drills" they did there earlier this year.

The US knows that none of their vassals will ever openly accuse them, and for the Western media it was Russia anyways. So far it seems only that Polish MEP said outright that he thinks it was them, and cheered it on.
This has been dismissed as "flamebait", but is an accurate description of what happened in the Magdalene Laundries of Ireland. Including the mass grave of children at Tuam: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/03/mass-grave-of-...
The interpretation is correct. Maybe the wording is a bit to over the top. Evil and good is not exactly right. Negative is the better word, but if I used it in my comment it would appear repetitive. The sentences wouldn't flow because I used the same word in the previous sentence.

Either way, the overall logic is accurate. This is indeed an accurate depiction of your bias if we discount the the extremities associated with the words good and evil.
When talking about inequality, median is more appropriate than average.

And even if the median is higher, there's some psychology in whether that actually feels better in a chimp brain hierarchy.

And, the implicit argument that inequality is required or helps the progress in the average or median is usually implied but not supported.
What a stupid thing to say

You keep asserting in this thread that most EU citizens want to get russian gas right now. This doesn't really correspond with what I perceive in my country or understand to be the case in the rest of the EU... Do you have any public polling to back this up and are you talking about any regions in the EU in particular?
I think they’re making the same point I meant to make. Which isn’t exactly the same as the interpretation of my point that another comment added.

US policy towards natives was directly cited as a model for nazism, and has been a model for programs in fascist and non-fascist regimes implementing similar policies for a long time. The US isn’t fascist, as another response interprets my meaning, but establishing a prototype for fascist policies should be recognized as such. The extent to which the US isn’t fascist is mostly lucky internal trivia for those of us who get to experience that luck. And that pendulum has a lot of inertia in the wrong direction.

Best to recognize when we influenced some of the world’s worst mass crimes. That’s my point.
Einstein discovered the theory of relativity purely through thought experiments. I don't think he thought those thought experiments are that useful.
But how often can you say with confidence it will take 30 minutes? If the author was wrong about being able to do it in time, the players would waste their time waiting for a solution and eventually leave. It might be better to just tell the players to go home.

IME with a hotfix you have no choice but to fix it, no matter how long it takes.
Office is using web technologies because they don't want to rewrite their code for Office 365, so native users get the Web stuff on a Web widget instead of a proper native UI.

Which is kind of tragic, given how Office was the testing ground for many Windows UI components.
The university looks great - I had a quick skim through the "Building a form" video and it's cleared some things up for me, much more in depth than the youtube videos

Good lord, what an insane comment...
I am surprised that so many written traces were left behind.

It was not something you wanted to make public so I would have expected swapped birth certificates (with the older ones destroyed). It was as if there was no longer term thinking (just the immediate action to cover up the abduction/fake pregnancy here and now)
There is the nexdock. Doesn't support Miracast but you can use it with Samsung Dex or some other thing.
1.6 is scary. We have seen 2.3 and his hands were shaking and he was really sluggish. Some days are rollercoasters and some days we keep him perfect.

Today our average was really low because for some reason over the last two days his insulin requirements have dropped. Some days we have to give him double the insulin just to get him below 12.

Game about sheep is going viral in China even as gaming regulation remains tight
Sadly, those statistics lose their punch over the years. They even have an opposite effect to what they intended to provoke.

Instead of outraging the centrists, and provoke a move to regulate extreme wealth, they infuriate the more liberals who respond with: "why not?". And the answer to "why not?" is necessarily idealogical, which means it cannot be debated.
> but rather that parameter default values are immutable.

No they are not, I’d offer you an example, but you gave one yourself. Are you confused as to what mutable and immutable means?

> You absolutely would not expect the value of b to have been influenced by previous calls to visit_city().

Yes they would. Python is not a functional language. If you have A=[1,2,3] and call A.append(4), what do you expect A to be?
Same if you have a function with argument “mylist” and a default set to A, what do you expect to happen to A if you call mylist.append(4) inside that function body on a call that didn’t pass another list?

> Python apologists only offer one positive for this: "It is useful for memoization".

No, that is not the only use, if you couldn’t pass mutable arguments you would cripple the language. And if you couldn’t pass mutable defaults you’d have an odd inconsistent handling of them.
Ask HN: Why does it take a year to construct an apartment building?
Of course in Asia there are extreme cases where buildings are constructed in a day or a week. But on average, with modern quality and safety in mind, it takes up to a few years to complete the construction of a 10 story apartment building. Why is that?
> I think they're a much lower barrier to entry in these days than native applications, especially if you want to target developers who will demand Windows, MacOS and Linux apps from day 0.

Let's be honest, we had multiplatform apps well before desktop-web apps. We are in this situation because GAFAMs pushed very hard the paradigm of always connected web applications (because they had no control over applications running solely on your computer). And since they won this ideological battle, there is not any more investment on multiplatform toolkits.

I really think that all of this is due to political reasons and it have never been about the superiority of the web technologies.
> we still treat (or want to) Russia as a rational actor.

People clearly do not treat Russia as a rational actor, given that everyone seems to assume Russia permanently ends European dependency on its fuel by blowing up their own equipment in NATO territory is the primary actual real go-to theory to be taken seriously.

I'm not trying to dismiss your speculations about mafioso-style thinking. I mean, assuming all of that is true, you still have only that to rely on versus Who benefits directly, materially and immediately by ending European dependence on Russian oil?
This announcement seems far more excitable than it needs to be. I think the way Macs solve it is better: left hand side of top bar is for app; right hand side is for OS.
Why aren't the westerners protesting more? Seriously, where are my peace and love protests? In many countries people don't care much anymore, they 've resigned that they can't change things, this is a high level long strategic game in which their opinion doesn't matter. We 've willy-nilly removed each other's mass media from the view, despite our hyperconnectedness. This is what you get after decades of the west emulating the dictators of the east in their authoritarianism.

We need a new peace movement, not one that is tied to progressive sensitivities.
Owning stock earns you money, which is very tangible. It is money taken from the labour of workers, and thus not going to them, and is the main way already rich non-working people can still buy whatever they want. It is far from meaningless.
Yea, it's amazing how much faster everything is when blocking 3rd party javascript with uBlock Origin by default.

I expected many websites would stop working, surprisingly though many sites work times, and i simply:
- hit my shortcut to set uBlock Origin to "relax" mode whenever needed
- exclude a few CDN's
- use a different browser (in private mode) for shopping and such
Yep, at some point it doesn't matter how much storage Google give you or at least that's the case for the majority.

If Google increased their limits to 100TB it wouldn't really make them more attractive to my small business because I can already live within 100Gb without with virtually no administrative burden.

2TB of mail storage represents an extra security risk for us and the chance to accumulate more un-controlled data.

It's much better to get that out of the email server and into something secure and time managed so that it can be deleted when not needed.
It is a huge flaw since it is notoriously opaque and leans towards public company shareholders.

Another easy example is that they completely miss the mind-boggingly wealthy like Queen Elizabeth II who was at the time the largest land owner on the planet and her wealth would lap everyone on that list. She was also a woman so they wouldn't get to complain about sexism in wealth distributions nearly as much.
Natural gas makes clean energy possible in a lot of countries where reliable clean energy is not feasible. If you don’t have reliable clean energy then you need a source of energy that can be cheaply turned off and on to smooth supply and natural gas was perfect for this. This is also why some countries prices are determined by the price of natural gas because they are using marginal pricing and natural gas is the supplier at the margin.
Exactly. Throwing away the lever doesn’t give you leverage.
I think this is a confounding factor in national analysis of income, but can't see it being much of a factor in global wealth terms.
The sneaky, dishonest trick that articles like that one use is that although share prices - and with them the wealth of the worlds' richest - dropped massively when the pandemic hit, this mostly happened before it was officially declared a pandemic and before everyone started taking a hit to their income from it. In general the stock market is a leading indicator that reflects what the actual economy that makes stuff and pays people's wages is expected to be like over the next few years. So articles like this are measuring from the bottom of the pandemic dip and pretending that it's new wealth that the richest have gotten, and also taking advantage of that time delay to make it seem like they're benefiting from the rest of us getting poorer when in reality it caused a massive drop in their wealth.
You know, some people in Eastern European countries complain about exactly the opposite.

Anyway, Eastern Europe is far from experiencing a manufacturing boom either.
Can you point to the ones you're talking about? A lot of the services are actually not that, they're offering simplified API and RPC access to data that's siloed elsewhere or systems that are quite complex to manage. There's some stuff we wrote for fun because writing arduously complex code can be tedious and I enjoy playing around with random things but I wouldn't waste a lot of my time wrapping libraries. OK so an "id" service is a bit like, maybe we don't need that to be an API call but let's say you do and you do want unique IDs distributed across many nodes, that was actually a hard problem solved by stuff like Snowflake [1] and distributed node management like zookeeper.
