For one, you can't explain away a problem with your argument but just saying, "I know." You toss out "I know the dollar is strong now" as if it's an inconsequential objection to your main point, when it effectively contradicts your entire contention that a high debt is tantamount to a debased currency.

If you're unwilling to interrogate your own beliefs, that makes them come off as shallow. We've all heard fiscally conservative talking heads prattle on about the debt. What we want is insight as to the accuracy or coherence of these ideas, not just a rote regurgitation.

What effective control does the working class have over the national debt if both major parties have continued to raise it no matter what candidate is put foward? And anyway, how does it benefit the cash-strapped working poor to vote to raise its own taxes so that the debt held by rich bondholders can be paid off. I'm not even saying you're wrong, I'm just saying, make it make sense. Or don't, it's not your obligation to do so. But don't be surprised by downvotes in that case.

My upper management wants me badly in the office. It’s 12 seat open office. These people have their own comfy offices, but work all days every week from home. What a paradox.
That assumes rationality, unfortunately. It would be nice if performance was the only factor in a managers decision, but we all know that managers have a tendency to prefer the employees that they see often. That being said if you were hired as a remote employee, I wouldn't worry.
One of the arguments is that people do not objectively determine performance and value and are likely to become biased by spending time with people in-person.
I'm happy that Mr. Ramaswamy is atoning for advertising. I noticed neevabot crawling a website I have access to just the other day.

When the available liability-free, emergency-use-authorized medical products being marketed as covid vaccines prevent neither infection nor onward transmission (and in fact have been shown to actually select for variants that evade them), mandating them and coercing submission to them is indefensible.

When they have been proven to be associated with known severe adverse effects* (up to and including death) for which there are no means of testing anyone beforehand, strong-arming people into getting them is especially vile.

* Note the CPSO document's reference to experiencing myocarditis or pericarditis as a result of mRNA shots as grounds for an exemption, and the curious absence of any acknowledgement that while the acute symptoms of these conditions may subside sufferers can be left with permanent, life-changing (and sometimes fatal, weeks or months or a few years later) damage.

Many healthy people at no significant risk of serious illness from this virus are being forced to submit to multiple rounds of experimental shots on the long-disproven pretext that doing so will benefit others or protect their local health systems. It's madness. Coerced multiple turns at Russian roulette with injury from the preceding round serving as one of the few ways of opting out of subsequent rounds.

Hum... You are just assuming similar competent people get on this situation a with relevant odds.

What is a very odd assumption, because if a company is firing based on competence, similar competent people will get on the same bracket and both fired or kept. And no large company knows enough to fire based on personal competence anyway. So yeah, it's FUD.
Well you could argue that low interest rates means someone is going to borrow and spend money, regardless of what the government does. It's not the job of the government to prevent inflation, that's the job of the federal reserve.
Espresso.js is a React alternative like TempleOS is a Windows alternative. The ecosystem is a core part of React, because of course it is.

It's similar to how people build "wordpress alternatives" that are just a blog with zero plugin capability and then wonder how their better product isn't getting traction. Sure, technically, wordpress is just a blog; but that is not why people choose it. (And I have no love for it)

It'll take some time before the current debt needs to be replaced at the higher rate. We've had artificially low rates for the past 14 years. I argue that spending 20% of tax revenue on interest alone is grossly irresponsible. We still need to pay out the face value of those treasuries too.

> $5.7 trillion of the debt is held by the Federal Reserve. The interest that they earn on this is passed back to the US Treasury. It effectively "doesn't count" except for whatever minor operating costs the Fed takes out.

It "doesn't count" if you ignore the accelerating wealth disparity in our society.

You are right.

Now that I've had more time to think about it, I think the problem of Python-like tuples in Go is that they require Pythonesque everything-is-a-reference paradigm in order to function the same way, otherwise they just act as heterogenous arrays in Go (which exist as arrays of empty interfaces, with a slight runtime cost). Go is mainly value-oriented language like C, with the exception of built-in container types and strings (and maybe a few others that slipped my mind).

I suppose that adding fixed-type pass-by-value tuples would essencially be reimplementing struct. Go doesn't like duplicating functionality.
The commitment is pretty solid (though, of course, so is Musk’s, and he’s spent the last six months trying to wriggle out of it). Plus, Morgan Stanley has franchise and reputational risk to consider - if they try to walk on the debt, the next time one of their clients goes to a seller with MS committed financing, that’s going to severely disadvantage that bid (at least for the next couple of years - memories are short and people tend to forget these things).

And yes, Twitter would absolutely still pursue Musk in that scenario. A buyer doesn’t get to intentionally blow up his committed financing and win the day by using the Shaggy defense.

Christianity, Judaism and Islam make constant references to each other, as they are the Abrahamic religions. They share similar value systems, prophets and texts. Read Natan the Wise for a nice fable about that ;)

I think you didn't mean the term as such but the value system:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judeo-Christian_ethics

I thought you used the term Judeo-Christian tradition focusing on values (e.g. ethics). The 1800s meaning does not really make sense as it refers to Jewish converts to Christianity not to shared values. The shared value idea is from the America's in the 1940s not from Europe. It was never used in Europe like that before the time around the second world war, as Jews (and Muslims) were seen as foreign elements and discriminated against for most of the European History.
From your wikipedia article:

"Historian K. Healan Gaston has stated that the term emerged as a descriptor of the United States in the 1930s, when the US sought to forge a unified cultural identity in an attempt to distinguish itself from the fascism and communism in Europe."

If you don't think that the term "Judeo-Christian Ethics or Values" excludes Islam, maybe we can term it "Judeo-Muslim Ethics" ... Christianity is in the middle, should be ok for you to use the new term ;) It's shorter and everybody knows that Christianity has to be included in it.
My point why not use the older, correct term "Abrahamic"? I think people should be precise with their language.

There are people that argue that Islam has a different value system and does not fit in with the other two religions. Yet, those are usually extreme right wing.
Angela Saini takes their view point pretty well apart.
Being christian and having religious Jewish and Muslim friends in Europe, I feel we share more than most Evangelicals I met in the U.S. (I just say intelligent design ... ). None of my European friends has any trouble with Evolution (and trusting in Science ... because it works ;)

How can I reconcile your comment here with the comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33098192 ??
>> one component you overlooked is the cheap cost of money, in the form of low interest rates, juicing the economy for the past decade+.

I've been wondering if "low interest rates" juice the economy, or if "lowering interest rates" does. The presumption seems to be the former, but I suspect a drop in rates will eventually lead to a new equilibrium. In other words, there isn't much long term correlation between interest rates (at a particular level) and growth.
Pretty sure it wasn’t his politics they had an issue with, but incitements to violence.

By using names and references to those names. In the circuit modeling language I am working on the nodes in the graphs are components and the connections between them are signals. Both are first-class entities. They all get assigned unique names which end up being fairly complicated but which you hardly ever have to refer to directly because you are almost always dealing with them at some level of abstract hierarchy where there is a simple name by which they can be referred and the rest of the true global name is implied. This allows you produce a complete description of a chip, i.e. a graph with billions of nodes, using text that is orders of magnitude smaller. And as a bonus you can automatically compile that text down to a physical layout that allows you to actually fabricate the chip.

There are graphical representations for the layout as well. But the text is primary.
Pretty much any computer can be destroyed by SW or firmware (which is also just SW, BTW). Any laptop or smartphone has a PMIC that can produce out of range voltages, thermal protection can often be worked around or disabled, battery can be overcharged or overstressed, etc. etc. With USB-PD, you can just configure the HW wrongly and let the USB PSU send you 15V when you can only handle 5V, which will surely brick something. There are way too many ways to brick the HW.

Lot of these highly dangerous things are controlled over I2C or SPI buses, which don't use any checksum mechanisms, so SoC can send "set CPU core voltage to 1.1V" and PMIC can plausibly read "set CPU core voltage to 1.8V" due to noise on the data line, or what not, and just do it.

It's kind of interesting that failures don't happen more often.
No, they count multiplications, 47 vs 49 in the 4x4 case. This assumes that multiplications are the heavy lift relative to additions, memory moves, etc. this is not a bad assumption, and is hardware independent, although there are some proposed 'exotic' hardware solutions where addition and multiplication are equally difficult (via lookup table, limited to about 8-bit x 8-bit) or where addition is harder than multiplication (log space number systems) but I don't think these have been deployed
Suttree is an early work, and said to be heavily autobiographical. I read it as a key to understanding McCarthy's view of the world, being essentially tragic.

I'd suggest there's a similar identification between the author and the Kid of Blood Meridian.

What McCarthy thinks of Melville's Moby Dick I have not heard, but for the reader anyway, there's a rich cross-fertilization. Both of ideas -- being a pawn within a monstrous, doomed enterprise -- and of technique, as with the cryptic oracles of catastrophe who say their piece and then vanish from the narrative.

Yes. In fact many scientists post to twitter but don't look at the replies (Emily Bender is an example) or even block you if you disagree with them. That's not engagement and I wonder what the dean would do about a promotion where the scientist just sort of blathered on twitter and had lots of followers, but wasn't actually providing any real scientific value (again, Emily Bender is an example).

That would be nice.

In the absence of such niceties, I chose PDF for the submission because it was the least obnoxious format available. The press release (as well as the specific orders for each provider affected) can also be had in docx and txt formats[0].

Given Hubble's gyroscope failure problem -

- I would not count on it lasting long enough for Jared & Co. to get there.

(My impression was that gyroscope replacement was a "dedicated space shuttle flight and multiple EVA's" sort of job - likely a big reach for SpaceX / Dragon / Polaris, which have flown zero EVA missions so far.)

Edit: Sounds like the gyroscopes lasting long enough for Jared & Co. to get there is pretty sure. But depending on the design service life of the still-working gyro's - and a load of other critical items - 2037 is still a huge ask.
Maybe they care now, but for a good 2 or 3 decades they sure didn't seem to mind.
Spotify Acquires Kinzen
I mostly endorse this, but as I recently wrote in reply to something else [1], I also have found great value in writing things down to get them out of my head. In that case I was more talking about blog-post type things, but it includes notes for work and such.

So what I sometimes do is a hybrid model: I take the notes, thus satisfying my brain that the thing is no longer something it needs to chew on... and then basically discard the notes. Not quite literally, I don't literally chuck them in the trash. I might keep them around for a while in case I do need something out of them. But they don't contribute to my "to do" list, metaphorical or literal, much at all.

Yes. Every once in a long while, something falls through the cracks that I should have picked up. But the reality is that for me, YMMV, this approach is a huge net positive. I am able to constantly re-evaluate what's important right now without a lot of mental baggage, and usually, when I'm in the moment deciding what's important in this moment, I'm vastly more accurate in my assessment than I would have been trying to prognosticate a month ago.

While it's very nice to have uproot (and I have contributed to it!), unfortunately it isn't able to read all of the ROOT files I generate... probably because I'm not aware of its limitations. (See e.g. https://github.com/scikit-hep/uproot5/issues/586 )

Of course solving the general problem of all ROOT I/O (which can involve custom serialization or schema migration code in C++) won't (and doesn't need to, for most people) work.
that's already been happening for ages especially anywhere in southern Europe. At least in my personal experience in Spain, France and Italy you have many old fashioned merchant that would tell you 2 different prices based on whether you want to pay with card or cash.

This of course does happen in some places in the world, but there's no conceivable route to this happening in developed countries, and certainly not due to sanctions. Europe's in for a hard winter, but millions of people aren't going to die from the cold.
Yeah, this is basically a death sentence for those companies. AFAIK, this will be the first time the FCC has done this. In the past they have allowed other providers to stop carrying calls from non-conforming providers, but they haven't required other providers to to stop carrying these calls before.
> I'd like to see some compelling evidence that supports the seemingly prevailing economic theory that the US can issue an unlimited amount of debt…

The “US” in your comment is more than one entity. There is no single body that can just make more debt unilaterally.

In particular the spending is funded by selling Bonds, etc. to investors. Purchasers of those bonds include foreign countries, such as China.
"NOTHING, literally nothing works anymore" is an alarmist exaggeration, even if you would do the ham-fisted thing of adding your entire home directory to Spotlight's exclusion list.

There will not be de-globalization without a devastating WWIII and the US might as well take what financing they can get before then because afterwards it will be meaningless.
The tweet you're referring to in the GP simply says "Brave will support Manifest V2 extensions such as uBlock Origin even after Chrome stops doing so". Which would be true statement even if that support only lasts for a day after Chrome stops supporting V2. That is to say, this does not look like a guarantee of indefinite support by any means, but rather extended support (for an undetermined amount of time).
Your right about the risk. But I would like to know how the interest would be paid if no one want to lend more money?
I misinterpreted your original comment. I suspect the other person may have misinterpreted it in the same way.
The purpose of monetary policy is to stimulate the economy, i.e. increase the value of dollars that are invested in something. The fact that it decreases the value of dollars that aren't invested is a feature, not a bug.

For example: if Bob sucks at SQL, and that happens to be one of your strengths, don't say stuff like "Man, these SQL scripts are trash" or "Dude, your SQL is ass, let me write it" - instead, something like "Hey, I noticed our db code is looking pretty rough, do you want some help cleaning things up?".

"Embodied" seems like a stretch. I would imagine "embodied" to mean something involving feedback control using multimodal sensory data. Otherwise it's no different from playing Atari Pong with a larger state and action space. Moving around in a quasi-3D environment, being essentially represented as a point with a sprite wrapped around it, is not what distinguishes a "bodied" agent from other kinds.
