The major issue for the US at the moment is servicing the debt. At 4% interest rates (current rates, this will go higher though), servicing the debt costs $1.25 trillion per year. This means the US government needs to find a way to raise about another $750 billion in taxes every year, but probably closer to $1 trillion as interest and debt increases.

$1 trillion more in tax every year. Not to start new government programs. Not to adequately fund existing programs. None of that. $1 trillion more simply to maintain the status quo of paying interest on the debt.

The CBO estimated before interest rates increased that by 2050, the US government will spend 50% of tax revenue on debt interest payments. This is likely a much higher percentage now with interest rates going through the roof.

And finally, I will note that the average weighted maturity of government debt is less than 5 years, and falling. This means that the treasury is constantly rolling over old debt into new debt at the new interest rates. 25% of the federal debt is in t-bills, which have maturities between 4 weeks and 52 weeks. This means that the $8 trillion in outstanding t-bills will all be refinanced at 4%+ rates in less than a year.

Property is a social construct; marital property no more or less than any other, and likewise no more or less a fiction.

> . Prior to their divorce, if Jeff wanted to dump all his Amazon stock, I doubt he needed MacKenzie's permission to do it.

Yes, marriage is exactly like a general partnership in that, absent explicit agreement or special legal treatment of particular property, any partner can dispose of property of the partnership.

Also, like a general partnership in that the property legally ascribed to the partnership rather than partners individually is divided among the partners as personal property at dissolution.

What? If I have $1,000,000, inflation is 10%, and prices readjust I just lost $100k in purchasing power but if I have $1000 I lost $100 in purchasing power. Proportional taxes aren't regressive. Inflation hits wage earners hardest because it lags behind prices but that's not the same thing.
> UML is a modeling language

No, it isn't. It might have once aspired to be a modeling language, but it is not in point of actual fact a modeling language. The reason is, as you yourself point out, people use it to draw pictures, not to produce models. And the reason for that is that all of the tooling and pedagogy is centered around drawing pictures rather than producing models.

An artifact is the thing that people actually use it for. UML is a modeling language in the same sense that (say) a letter-opener is a weapon. You can use a letter-opener as a weapon, but because no one actually does, calling a letter opener a weapon rather than a tool for opening letters is kind of silly.

PDF Transcription: "-WASHINGTON, October 3, 2022—The FCC’s Robocall Response Team today announced
first-of-their-kind Enforcement Bureau orders to begin removing seven voice service providers
from the agency’s Robocall Mitigation Database. Providers must take key robocall mitigation
steps – including implementing STIR/SHAKEN throughout their IP networks – and if they fail
to demonstrate that they have met these requirements, they can be removed from the database
and other networks will no longer take their traffic.

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel:
“This is a new era. If a provider doesn’t meet its obligations under the law, it now faces
expulsion from America’s phone networks. Fines alone aren't enough. Providers that don't
follow our rules and make it easy to scam consumers will now face swift consequences.”
What’s New:
Today’s Enforcement Bureau orders demanded that Akabis, Cloud4, Global UC, Horizon
Technology Group, Morse Communications, Sharon Telephone Company, and SW Arkansas
Telecommunications and Technology show cause within 14 days as to why the FCC should not
remove them from the database. Removal from the database would require all intermediate
providers and terminating voice service providers to cease carrying the companies’ traffic. If
that were to occur, all calls from these providers’ customers would be blocked and no traffic
originated by the provider would reach the called party."

We could have another dozen Hubble clones in orbit and they'd still be booked solid for years. It's just such a fantastic piece of kit, decades later. I see the value in servicing it, but I'd be even happier to see a few Falcon Heavy launches with modern versions of Hubble. In my opinion it's the least SpaceX could do for the brutal damage to the night sky Starlink has done.
If the fairing was just a little bit longer on the Falcon 9 it could easily launch another one of these. But the dang thing cost $4.3 billion just to build and launch so I can see why they would want to repair instead of re-build. Especially since Dragon is so freaking cheap compared to the shuttle. However, outfitting Dragon for EVA would be a freaking PITA considering the certification process. More likely they would have to launch an EVA module separately that Dragon would dock to that had the necessary airlock to remove the need to depressurize Dragon.

I could see them designing a cheaper less dear version of Hubble now that launch costs are so much lower. But repairing it definitely makes a lot of sense.
Good. Makes the cost of expensive payment systems more transparent. Hopefully this will encourage people to move to cheaper and more secure methods.

I don't prefer phone calls either, but you do have legitimate need to receive calls from people you don't already know: prospective clients if you have a business, hospitals/doctor's offices, etc. It's just frustrating that we've allowed the system to go from "this unknown caller may be something important or something I want to answer" to "this is almost certainly spam".

In fairness, this robocall surge has only become a real problem in the past maybe 5ish years.

Before that, you did receive robocalls, but they were infrequent. Now, I don't know anyone that doesn't receive at least one per day... I often receive multiple. My phone has become useless because of this...

I get where you’re coming from, but keep in mind that the filtering proxy returning 403 instead of relaying the POST is already able to inject arbitrary HTML into all of his TLS protected pages. If the proxy wants to scrape card information, it already can; if it’s malicious, the user is toast no matter what the website operator does.

India's demographic outlook is far better than China's for the next two decades. I expect Apple is anticipating the resultant societal disruption and is trying to get out ahead of it.
The discussion here is interesting. In general, I don't think either optimism or pessimism are the issue. Letting your feelings overwhelm data is the issue. It's fine to be optimistic so long as you can realistically assess when the idea isn't panning out. Same about pessimism -- it's fine, so long as you are willing to investigate and get some data.

There are lots of bad ideas, so undue optimism needs pruning. There are also lots of good ideas we haven't tried yet -- that is the evidence of history.
The big problem I see in life -- including my own life -- is attachment to positions when the data is not in accord with that attachment. In science, it's why you often have to wait for a new generation of scientists who can fully integrate newer results (data) into their thinking. In life, it's why people like me get stuck in the past: it's the lens we understand.
Why are you saying it like it is something bad?! Inflation is a great equalizer, as it removes the disparity in society! Also, when people know that their assets will depreciate over time, they will be more economically active, doing more investments and buying more things now, and not later. It is also a chance to get rid of your debts, at a smaller cost!
No, I don't think it's loading up a full browser - I think it's sending an HTTP request and then parsing the results to some degree. To whatever extent the HTTP request mechanism is secure, and the parsing mechanism is secure, it's secure. But you don't need a browser to have security holes - anything parsing random data from the internet could be a vector.

That said, I agree - parsing the QR code itself isn't really a vector I'd worry much about.
Definitely not ideal. Moving away from China is good but I wonder how much of this is PR. It wouldn't make sense to move given they spent $275B building up Chinese manufacturing.

> I'm not saying living near a chip fab doesn't present the risks you outlined. What I'm saying is it's very likely there are comparable risks living basically anywhere that isn't very sparsely populated

Doesn't this directly contradict the incidence of cancer vs. distance to industrial pollution maps? Like you're literally many times more likely to get cancer if you live near a source of industrial pollution compared to other people who live in your same city but don't live right next to a source of industrial pollution.

Think about it like this: the volume of a sphere increases proportional to the radius cubed. That means the further you get from a source of pollution, the density of that pollution falls off by a cubic of the distance. That's quite a sharp drop off. So small sources of pollution may pose some risk, but due to the small amount of particulate combined with how fast the pollution drops off means it's not so dangerous. Very large sources of pollution, however, may be dangerous for some distance.

> That's it. The rest don't matter and are often actively harmful.

Oh, ok. It's a terminology thing. We're actually in agreement. It was very hard to see that from the article because it's only negative.

> The problem is creating these roles puts barriers between people. It prevents developers from developing an understanding of what they're actually doing. None of these roles are useful outside of QA and business analyst, and even the BA role can be done by developers if they have communication skills. All a BA is going to do is ask questions of the business.

Small-a agile prescribes no roles at all, so I can't say whether a BA would be useful or not. Scrum (which is the Big-A Agile I have most experience with) also doesn't define a BA role and broadly agrees with you: get the devs doing that work. It also doesn't make any distinction between "designer", "architect", "copywriter" or "engineer". They're all "developers" in Scrum, as far as I understand it from the course I did, and repeatedly re-reading the guide. Neither agile, nor Scrum talk about story points, JIRA, user stories. Scrum recommends you estimate, so that you can fit things into a sprint (so it can be released), and so you can measure your team's own sense of sizing. Those tools (story points, etc) are extras, often prescribed by businesses that aren't as agile as they'd like to to believe... but can still be useful so long as they're used well. Use them as guides, signals for internal team use, not to share outside the team, not to be held accountable. That's what the planning + review are for. Those are your accountability points.

Honestly, I think the bigger problem with trying to use Scrum is continuous integration. If you're releasing often, faster than your sprint cadence, you're bound to come unstuck with your sprints and they'll feel like a hinderance. I'm not saying "avoid CI", I'm saying "if you use CI, and you should, modify your definitions a bit, find a way of working with the accountability system; share that organisational burden with the wider company".

One problem with agile I've seen is that business priorities often change before work can be completed. You _should_ respond to the changing environment (e.g. new compliance, new customers etc), but it can be very very distracting when you have longer-form projects to complete.
Current plan is to borrow money in order to cut taxes for the richest because our fine government believes in trickle down.
> I'll be interested to see if anyone else can reproduce this.

Indeed. This is a really bold claim and so far we have one person who has reproduced it on a single machine.

I'm no Apple apologist by any means but I'm a little skeptical of the claims in the twitter thread. It's easy enough to imagine that the poster made some kind of mistake in his methodology or some other variables are at play that he didn't consider. I'd withhold judgment until there's some corroboration.
The whole idea of this is that the government won't pay for it. Jared Isaacman has already done one space tourism trip on the dragon capsule, and has ordered 2 more dragon missions, and one starship mission. It seems he wants to be more than a Billionaire flying in space, and have a real impact. The next dragon flight is planning on being the first civilian spacewalk, the Hubble mission would be a successor with a likely spacewalk doing repairs/part replacement.

The extent to which this will have funding from NASA is likely to be limited to time spent by NASA personnel required to support the mission, whatever replacement hardware is installed, and a good chance of having a NASA astronaut along on the mission.

The reality is that we've let you down. Self-hosting shouldn't be any more complicated or less secure than installing an app on your phone. You shouldn't need to understand DNS, TLS, NAT, HTTP, TCP, UDP, etc, etc. Domain names shouldn't be any more difficult to buy or use than phone numbers. Apps should be sandboxed in KVM/WHPX/HVP-accelerated virtual machines that run on Windows, Mac, and Linux and are secure-by-default. Tunneling out to the public internet should be a quick OAuth flow that lets you connect a given app to a specific subdomain, with TLS certs automatically obtained from Let's Encrypt and stored locally for end-to-end encryption.

The technology exists to do all of these things, but no one has taken the time to glue it all together in a truly good UX (I'm working on it). Pretty much every solution in this space is targeted at the developer market, not self-hosters.

So for now I'd recommend using a VPS. Your main challenge is going to be learning a lot about security. There's currently no way around that. A VPS limits the scope of damage that can be done if you get hacked. Once you've learned enough you can move to your own hardware. At that point I'd recommend setting up tunneling[0] and using either Docker or QEMU/KVM.

EDIT: I see you're already using Tailscale. That can operate as a tunnel. Basically you'd want to run a reverse proxy like Caddy (recommended) or nginx on the VPS, and point it at services running on your other devices using the IP addresses from your Tailscale network.

I feel like the doctors office scenario should be handled like we do with TLS. They apply for a certificate, and that’s signed and offered in their outgoing calls. Their verified name shows up in Caller ID, and the nature of their business is burned into the certificate (medical, government, auto repair, etc.).

We're going to have another Hubble up in 2027 if all goes well: the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, or Roman for short. Originally known as WFIRST, it's a 1.6m-primary-mirror declassified Keyhole spy sat similar to Hubble, but with a shorter focal length and thus a much wider field of view (around 1/4 square degrees, roughly the area of a full moon). Still, its angular resolution will be comparable to Hubble thanks to a much higher-resolution, 300 megapixel imager. It's a visible/near IR instrument, so won't replace Hubble's near UV capabilities. Also, Roman won't have a traditional spectrograph on board. What it will have, however, is a novel coronagraphic instrument for imaging and spectrography of companions of nearby stars (brown dwarfs and gas giants in wide orbits -- still no imaging exo-Earths or even exo-Jupiters, alas).

This is correct, as I understand it.

Most complexity measures are defined in terms of asymptotic behavior, so any specific finite algorithm has 'constant' complexity. This is an obviously unhelpful bit of pedantry in the theory side.

In fact, it's as you say; we can compute a 'raw' complexity for a finite operation (eg, raw count of arithmetic ops), and then use that operation as a primitive to create an algorithm with an asymptotic complexity which depends directly on the finite operation's 'raw' complexity.

(complexity theory, and specifically for matrix multiplication, is a great example of metrics becoming targets becoming bad incentives, a la Goodhart's Law. The so-called best algorithms are 'galactic' and therefore of no use to anyone. There's some fuzzy-headed hope that one day the people chasing the big-O exponent metric will come up with something practically useful, buuuuuut... you actually gotta work practical problem to solve the practical problem, and that requires different metrics. This seems to be what's motivating the work under discussion here.)
I also use .mlb files exclusively and agree with your general point - but I do make use of Poly/ML and occasionally SML/NJ against the same sources, using scripts to drive them from .mlb files: https://github.com/cannam/sml-buildscripts

These scripts are really limited. They only support the simplest .mlb files that are really just lists of other files, and the semantics are technically incorrect because they have no way to reset the environment when beginning each new .mlb file in, as the spec says they should. I use them scrappily during development and then generally use MLton for production builds. But you can get quite a lot done within those limitations, and it's very nice to have the faster compilation of Poly/ML, as well as the option of seeing error messages from more than one compiler.
Simplified answer that is not flippant: Testosterone. Hormones have an enormous impact on how we think and behave. Testosterone numbers is a ‘ratio’ and not an absolute number. So this keeps changing all the time. For women, this skews wildly during PMS when they have a surfeit of testosterone as a ratio. Which gives rise to all the lame jokes about ‘that time of the month’.

But men deal with that elevated testosterone as a ratio throughout until middle age. Men go through ‘andropause’ too, but don’t get enough support.

Women get used to mood swings and wild variations in their hormone level right after menarche. This is also why while gender transitioning, MtF is more brutal on mental health than FtM.
