If you imagine a 'simple' economy, the way to store your wealth is to buy gold and stick it in a safe. In a 'simple' economy, gold is the least risky commodity of exchange. Now consider that US treasuries are arguably less risky than gold, and are easier to exchange.

The FDIC only insures deposits of cash up to 250k, so US debt is basically like "big-boy cash".

That's the thing I am trying to digest, how's it possible?
It sounds like you have a personal beef with Apple because you don't get special treatment. This has nothing to do with its importance to the US, which is extremely high.
The federal reserve's remittances to the treasury are likely to be completely wiped out within the coming year. The reason is that the (low) interest it earns on its existing portfolio of government securities is fixed and will stay flat while the interest the fed pays out is rising sharply and will rise even further as rates increase.

The fed is not rolling over its government debt portfolio into new debt at higher rates. Rather it is undergoing quantitative tightening selling off/allowing bonds to mature.
The holy grail here is to figure out a way to not just boost it, but start doing some part replacement work on Hubble.

There's wonky computers, gyroscopes, and likely other parts that just need a swap out. Hubble is designed to let people do this. The only problem is that doing it today requires a person in a very bulky space suit that won't fit through the Dragon's door.

Perhaps a robot?
yep. It's curious how it was attached to his name. Maybe a bit of the Mandela Effect going on.

Regardless, I can personally vouch for the method. It's so stupid but it worked for me. Draw a grid on a piece of paper. Mark an X on the next available square every time you do the thing you want to do (i.e. create a habit for). And there is exactly one rule: Do not ever break the chain. Ever. Don't do it you stupid dumbass! Not even one day. No cheat days. Nothing.

The psychological or chemical reward for marking that stupid X seems to be enough to motivate you to change behavior. Might be because this method is so simple it's fool-proof. It's one rule. You can't rationalize your wait out of it.

Is there a way to measure this though. How can I tell what my current level of damage is.

There a a lot of exemptions to the asset limit, including primary house and car, which are often the two most valuable assets many Americans own.

> Just the other day indians were blaming their pollution on the west because we moved manufacturing to that country and china

Well isn't it true ? You act like people are lying when they say the west pays countries to take off their garbage and dump it in their own nation. With all the things that USA imports from other countries as manufacturing it inside the US will decrease their profits. Classic Murica, offshore all the dirty work to the east, blame India and China for rising pollution when the final product is ironically coming back to USA and pat itself on the back for cutting down carbon emissions.

Oh good lord that's not how this works at all. Like it takes like 2 minutes to see that this couldn't possibly be the case. If the US was servicing its debt exclusively through taking out more debt what would graph of national debt look like over time -- exponential! The exact same as if the gov't wasn't servicing its debt at all because that's how compound variable rate interest works.

Then just look at the graph of national debt both in nominal and real value.
I fully agree with this article and that’s why I have a note taking system. I recognise I have my best ideas spontaneously but a solid note taking system is what helps me pull specific details of what I am trying to do from my past experiences. That being said, it took tons of time before I settled on something that worked for me and I could say: No more optimising. Work time, let’s go.
It is trivial. All you need is a device that can work as a USB gadget that you can plug your keyboard into. I could do it with my phone, many Raspberry Pi-like SBCs, or even Arduino-like boards...
The article you linked seems to be a pretty accurate prediction of what happened in the VC space over the past half-decade. They correctly predicted the failure of cryptocurrency and self-driving cars, while also highlighting the stagnation in fields like AI, hardware startups and AR/VR. All of the hype for those sectors got abused years ago, any investor putting money towards "disruptive technology" better have an idea for getting around FAANG.

Of course, things always look different from the sidelines. At the same time though, I think the article you linked is a startlingly correct market analysis for someone to make in 2017.
I hate stats like this. What is the baseline? Maybe 90% of adults have always said the US is experiencing a mental health crisis. I'm interpreting this as some kind of increase because of COVID and social media and cell phones, but maybe the number is always high.
India is also a US ally: https://www.state.gov/u-s-security-cooperation-with-india/
India's labor laws are pretty strong, and that's the only reason why it was put off till now. Infact, take a look at this: https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/wistron-violence-w...

That wouldn't have happened in China, and it was actually a detractor for additional manufacturing to be done in India.

I believe this push is not for additional cost cutting but to avoid the tariffs placed on imported goods.

This is my biggest pet-peeve on my current project. I am a solo dev on my current project at work, and for some reason, we are still choosing to use agile/scrum with sprints and all that jazz (seriously, your guess as to why is good as mine).

Regardless, one of the more difficult issues I have encountered through out my current project is the usage of proper abstraction and avoiding redundency. I seriously have little idea of anything I build will for the project will ever be used again in a different part. Since, everything is given to me in sprints, I literally have no idea what is coming down the pipes.

Any feature I implement becomes an internal debate of how much abstraction is necessary vs. YAGNI.

I've since given up on even trying. Once the project is more or less finished, I'll properly just run back through it and then properly abstract, refactor, etc.. You know -- spend more time doing something twice than properly the first time, but whatever.
>>How often does a nail in one corner of a building become a dependency for a bunch of elements clear on the other side?

Thats like asking 'how does naming my local variable X instead of Y have any dependency on code in other functions? and assuming that summarizes the complexity of writing code.

I take it you have never built a large custom house from scratch.
Russia seems to be selling just fine because it has infrastructure and capacity to send to other regions (though no doubt it's diminished). Europe has relatively few LNG pipelines from other regions (and LNG tankers and other infrastructure is similarly in short supply).
Practically speaking the way the government prints money is by creating treasuries that the Federal Reserve purchases. When the federal reserve purchases them, the government gets the amount of the treasury created de novo.

With no taxes all government expenditure would be printed money. That would mean the monetary base increases by the government spending per year. That hasn’t been a problem until recently because only a portion of the government was funded this way, and increasing the monetary base wasn’t (until it did) causing inflation above Fed targets.

Let’s say government spending is 25% of GDP. The federal reserve has our monetary base at around 5.5T out of 20T GDP currently. So we’d have to double our monetary base to fund the government this way for one year. This would cause very high inflation - we basically did fund the government 50% this way for 2 years because of COVID and look where that got us. Imagine inflation then with 100% funding in this manner over long periods.
Oh, that’s external debt, not public debt. They’re not the same thing.

I think this is true, and the issue is deeper for kubernetes. A k8s cluster by itself is not particularly useful. In order to deploy real software you're going to need a bunch of other components, extensions, and software. Things like persistent storage, ingress controllers, service mesh, certificate managers, DNS, etc. All of those components require consideration from a security perspective.

I'm curious how many people would be helped by real time critical feedback while speaking in public. For people who are already anxious about speaking, I could see the negative feedback causing a downwards spiral of making them even more anxious.

There is some weird bug on Intel NUC11TNK that makes displays at 5k2k@60/TB4 show overlapping regions with changing "soft" boundaries (like when overclocking CRT monitors that can't handle the resolution) and that bug is present on all 5.5-5.19 kernels I've tested. Maybe it's related to this bug?
True, but Mexico has been a major manufacturing hub for decades...its not like cartel violence has had any impact. Chances are your car, or lots of its components, were made in Mexico. Likewise for major appliances and textiles. XBoxes were manufactured there. I don't recall anyone pulling out because of cartel violence.

This feels like people saying not to build a factory in the US because of Proud Boys, Antifa and MS13.
I just searched "are we in a recession" on Google. Seems like a popular enough question yet Google doesn't directly provide any context-aware answers next to the "people also ask" box nor "enriched and interactive search results".
Yes but no matter how much money / production capacity you want to bring, at some point it still takes physical time to build all the factories and set up the whole ecosystem. 5 - 10 years sounds about right.
Doesn't everything have to be designed differently on a space robot vs an earth one due to metal cold welding together and stuff? Just something I read about with the JWST gearing, maybe it only matters for something out there a long time.

Unlikely to be true for matrix multiplications, which have well-defined data dependencies.

Yes, this supports the assumption that multiplication is the heavy lift.

Do you mind defining this?
The success of business ppl are mostly (but not only, world is not perfect and depends on the place in the world) by the value they provide. Musk,and any enterpreneur AFAIK, does not make money from forcing anyone to pay a buck. That, for me, is much more respectable than what many other ppl do for a living.

Nothing is perfect, but living from your own job without forcing 3rd parties to do what you want is something that I respect. Later he couldbe whatever, even it could hapoen I do not like him personally. But in that regard, nothing against any business person that tries to provide things for others.
We are in a recession. Unless the redefinition of the word is successful, and there's a strong push to redefine the word.

So you're going to see some confusion on this topic until the politics around it settle down a bit.
The game is much better than at launch.
The anime is a 10/10.

Calling out societal problems is not racism. Indians calling out police violence in the US wouldn't be racism either.
YMMV, but "messes" are for me things that manifest in projects spanning both multiple contributors and non-trivial periods of time. And in that framing, in my experience, the most effective individual proxy for "is this project a mess" is whether or not it's implemented in a dynamically typed language. Python, Javascript, Clojure, Ruby, my experience is that they all break down at scale, far more than equivalent projects in statically typed languages.
I'm "considering" dating a supermodel. (Though the similarity isn't as likely to happen)

Did I over-engineer my note-taking process? From the outside, probably. But I've tweaked my system overtime so I spent less time fiddling with it and more time writing and producing creative work.

I take lots of notes using Obsidian and organize the notes by tagging with keywords. Overtime, the notes clutter the entire system and I find it difficult to keep track of the notes. Instead of abandoning this particular tool — moving from one tool to the next deludes us into thinking its a tooling problem — I decided to track some key metrics[0] around my note taking system, the metrics serving as a feedback loop.

Ultimately, my goal of note taking is not to take notes: it's to publish writing. To that end, I've designed a note taking system that I consider to be as simple as it can be.

Actually I did something similar - learned to speak French with no perceptible foreign accent at age 17 (unfortunately my abilities have decayed in the intervening years, so I’m sure now I’d sound American, but anyway…)

However, accent is only one part of language. I certainly didn’t have the vocabulary, reading speed, writing elegance, etc. of (educated) native speakers.

In this case, "Nix" refers to the Nix CLI and the Nix language, and not to closely related projects like NixOS, Nixpkgs, Home Manager, and many others that can be understood as "ecosystem" projects dependent on the Nix CLI/language. It's also worth noting that there's a vast constellation of third-party Nix tools that can also be understood as dependent on the core NixOS/nix project on GitHub.
This statement makes no sense. Ending the drug war will not automatically end the existence of cartels.
holy crap dude. read a book or something about India. India has class related problems because of economic disparity and caste (in ALL religions) does play a role but not central to it. It is akin to racism problem in USA, outlawed but will take some time to fully go away. Do not confuse it with dalit oppression. Dalits are as ministers in democratic process, film stars, athletes, in military and top institutes. What are your news sources about India ? I am worried you are being misled by agenda based reporting. Block NYT and WaPo posting on India right away for a better understanding of the country.

Perhaps you haven't been following, but Polairs Dawn (the 1st Polaris mission) will be doing an EVA with a SpaceX designed suit. Part of the reason the suit can fit out of the door is because it's a tethered suit.

Assuming the tether is long enough, there's no reason in principle that someone couldn't use such a suit to work on Hubble.
I REALLY want to use a native ML language[1] but they all seem to be catered towards academics.

If you want success within companies and not universities, then you need to treat the language as a product, serve the customer by investing time into documentation, guides, and branding just like with any product. I say this as a fan of ML languages, posts that complain about another language (OCaml) being more popular even though it is an inferior doesn't get new users.

[1]: I currently use F# daily but would be happy to switch to a variant of SML if it made sense.

I think this timeline is heavily dependent on how motivated Apple is...
Elon attracts the attention he does, both positive and negative, because he's regarded as a pioneer. IMO the general public does have an interest in trying to ensure 1) unsafe cars don't proliferate across public roads and 2) irresponsible business practices aren't celebrated.

Do you think the only people who had a right to be pissed off about Lehman Brothers' collapse were actual Lehman Brothers customers? This is all well within the public interest.
Hey nikincn - thanks!! We have product "types" available in our database. You can simply query any product name you want - we cover almost all the products you can find at the supermarket.

I applaud the Indian state. One of the worst things about the Ukraine-Russian Conflict is being made to pick a side. Kudos to India for masterfully navigating both sides.
India is not Russia's ally, it is also not Russia's foe. They are aligned with each other on some issues (like Pakistan), disagree on other things, like the war in Ukraine.

>How about the massive wealth disparity in our society?

The people with enough economics/finance education to understand the mechanic are typically on the side where they benefit (enough income to invest in assets that appreciate from our debt & monetary policies). The people who suffer often don't have the time to study this stuff in depth, and when they do they often find socialist/communist information much more attractive and "truthful" emotionally. Unfortunately that content usually confers a really bad understanding of financial mechanics and so people who are on the side that benefits can use said misunderstanding abusively. For example, AOC openly supports MMT. Either she's blissfully unaware of the way that would increase the wealth disparity by pushing up the value of financial assets, or she's aware and is actually as sinister as republicans portray her. I tend to think it's the former.
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not…

Financial assets actually do great in inflationary environments. Most people don’t have any.

Why do you think most Americans can’t afford housing?

I work on something that requires a reasonably cooperative NAT and unmolested real-time UDP traffic. I've seen varied failure-modes from corporate firewalls over the years - from simple NAT table overflow causing rapid source port switching, to the firewall appliance downloading an update and deciding UDP packets of a certain size ( and ONLY of a certain size.. ) were bittorrent and hence were to be blackholed. That was an interesting one to track down. I've also seen it block diagnostic GETs to varied bits of cloud infra, due to someone at some point in the distant past hosting porn on that particular IP. Not to mention just good old strict NATs..
I wrote it as well as submitted it.

So, please do tell. I am always keen to learn.
