Yeah a combination of people constantly posting hate on Web3, the need to spend a lot of time keeping on top of a stupidly fast sector, and the users demanding you move fast for maximum ROI while also demanding perfect security is just a lot to deal with mentally. I quit Web3 earlier this year.
Without a count of how many aspiring songwriters used the note taking systems but did not make it, that is likely just survivorship bias. Based on this single data point there is no way to distinguish between whether Steve Tyler succeeded due to talent, due to how hard he worked, due to luck or due to his note taking system.
To the Feds? To temper inflation.

To state and local governments? Because they can't print money and do actually need taxes in order to spend.
Sounds like they were letting very low frequencies through to the speakers and/or accidentally producing DC.

I only read the one thread on this, so I'm guessing a lot here, but it sounds like you could patch the <100hz frequency problem in hardware for like $0.50 with a high pass filter soldered in at the speaker?

That thread is a little hard to read, so I don't know if there really is a dc problem. That's a little harder to fix in the speaker cavity.

Edit: If you're serious about this project you should read through Civil Rights Corp's cases.

You'll learn the most a clever, well-resourced team can push the existing rules in practice to hold governments accountable.

In my unexpert opinion a nonlayer can most efficiently get an impression of how an area of law sort of works by reading decisions from lower-court judges who dispense justice assembly-line style.

When you're reading a Supreme Court decision or a law it's incredibly easy to miss a procudure that makes any remedy inpractical.

For example, you might read through a whole process for deciding the merits of a complex argument a prisoner's civil rights were violated. But you'd be missing that prisoner's lawyers can only make an argument if that prisoner, without a lawyer, wrote the exact right words on a complaint form and handed it to a warden within (for example) two weeks of their rights being violated.

Get used to this search engine. And when you read about a case in the news, look it up. This (or a related resource) is usually how the reporter got their primary sources.

Not to mention that NASA doesn't have the kind of blank check budget that the military has (by a longshot) — in a budget overview they may have to cut service for old projects to even get research on new projects funded.
> Why wouldn't you get these thumbnail previews when you actually scan the QR Code?

These aren't scanned, they're located inside .png image files you can download or generate locally on your computer.

> You're going to be fetching/caching the favicon and framebuffer for the page anyways, there's literally no reason not to get that data at runtime rather than 3 hours later.

No one asked the OS to fetch the favicon/framebuffer. Also, I would prefer the favicon of an image containing a QR code to be a thumbnail of the QR code, not the page it points to. I expect this delay is not a nefarious Little Snitch bypassing tool but a search cache update process that only runs when the computer is very idle. Better to run background tasks lazily than every time you commit an image that might contain a QR code to the filesystem.
Thank god, at least some sort of enforcement.

At least 90% of phone calls I get are robocalls or spam. But, as the head of a large household, I can't disable unknown callers; who knows if that urgent care I took my kid to 6 months ago needs to call because I put my email address in wrong and they couldn't bill me, and I don't want the account to go to collections. Or maybe some random clerk from the city needs to contact me about property taxes?

I just do not have a definitive contact list of every number that might call me with critical information, and I'm not confident they would leave a voicemail. Or even if they leave a voicemail, it's often impossible to return a call because the caller is originating from some complex web of VOIP systems and when I call back I get a machine asking for an extension, which the caller forgot to leave in the voicemail!

I wonder. It seems as though historically commercial real estate is a gigantic industry with strong relationships to other industries. Anecdotally it seems as though companies that lease their real estate have been much more inclined towards wfh.
Yes, and?

Tracking debt in nation state currency is spoken tradition, not immutable law of science.

Carrying forward spoken tradition about debts of the past is not an obligation of us or the future.

Just because some apes wrote an IOU down doesn’t bind my sensibilities and agency to serving that IOU. If I’m not mistaken outside parties are not beholden to contracts they did not sign in our legal system. So no law of physics and no law of man obliges me to care about the burden others agree to carry.

Go ahead and come collect, China. We’ll just nuke each other into the Stone Age. The real gap is a thing; we can close ports and make ephemeral debts a non-issue really fast.

Headlines like this are to remind people who believe in such things to not forget some debt they don’t owe serving.
The article doesn't say, but it's a safe bet to assume that the kinds of CEO's they're interviewing are the CEO's of big fortune (at least) 1000 companies, all of which have satellite offices. If remote workers should be worried, the people who report to satellite offices and join every call by zoom anyway should be just as worried (and should have been just as worried during every downturn). How many of us, if we did return to the office, would actually have any physical face-to-face contact with our direct supervisors, or anybody else up the chain?
Like you said the debt is denominated in USD, so the USA could repay all that money by minting a 31T$ coin. It would be devastating, the USD would become worthless, some economies would experience deflation while the USA would instantaneously experience hyperinflation.

IMHO, the only reason that the US debt is not a major problem is that no country whant to see the whole economic system collapse so no one will want that debt repaid as long as the interest are paid on time. And in the eventually that the USA is unable to pay the interest on time, a deal will assuredly be brokered to avoid that catastrophic solution.
That's two votes for that book, so I'll take a look. Thank you!
Ok, but that should just make us further question whether the Balto/Togo story really has anything in common with the history of tectonics. There isn't a clear obvious hero and a hidden hero (both of whom somewhat undeservedly singled out from the group effort), there's just one well-known name, and it's not even clear which of the two characters he'd correspond to.
when it comes to something like this you are forgetting the government redtape involved in building a new one is likely a bigger cost than the actual engineering building and launching.

jQuery is a bit of an interesting case, because it was so successful that it APIs got implemented in browsers themselves.

The advice that I’ve seen is that you should replace jQuery selector stuff with vanilla js and css whenever possible, and for a lot of projects that doesn't leave much.

I don't know why, but in the last couple of weeks the number of spam calls I get has ramped way up. Perhaps they were trying to get it all in before the cutoff? It used to be 3-4 per day to both landline and cell phone, and in the last few weeks it's gone up to about 10-15 on each per day. And it's almost always the same 2 calls - either "... wants to give you $10,000 in clean energy upgrades ..." or "... This is the social security disability administration on a recorded line..." Yeah, whatever. Fuck off.
That's what everyone says until the government defaults on its debt. The US is a special case because of our unique situation as the military superpower and reserve currency, but look at Argentina, Venezuela, and the UK for a counterpoint.

If you want to moralise, that's your trip, but borrowing power is an objective measure of your financial health.
True. And the US has one more thing going for it, compared to many European countries: it controls the currency it’s borrowing in. Greece and Italy for example do not.

Even if it was, your average person takes on debt equal to maybe 400%-500% their “GDP” when they obtain a mortgage.

This is also my line of thinking. I'd much rather the government at least show a valid, true attempt to cut the fat before even talking about raising my taxes. It seems like, in theory, a government should be bounded by its revenue and raise taxes if it needs more(as voted upon). Instead, tax rates and government spending both seem mainly arbitrary.

The 2008 number is misleading as well since some of the cost of the Iraq War wasn't considered part of the national debt for some reason. When Obama took office, a lot of the gimmicks to make the bad numbers look smaller were ended.

So a lot of ignored dollars stopped being ignored even though, in reality, nothing really changed.

My understanding of this situation is that they found a way to multiply 4x4 matrices that requires fewer multiplications than Strassen's . This implies that that can generalize to a way to multiply n x n matrices with a better theoretical complexity than Strassen's algorithm.

Looking at the guide, much of the hardening is above and beyond anything any Kubernetes configuration can be expected to do. Thus there is literally no way to ship a pre-hardened Kubernetes that has to be softened with a checklist guide.

Much of it is about development practices. Kubernetes cannot scan your containers for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations for you. Kubernetes cannot ensure lease privilege practices in your containers for you. Kubernetes cannot do regular reviews of logs and configurations and security patching status for you. Kubernetes cannot monitor audit logs for you.

With all this said, it's worth taking a look at the guide. It goes far beyond suggesting a few changes to default settings. Perhaps it could have been better phrased as "Hardening the context and practices around Kubernetes" to avoid this confusion.
No, it's in marginal dollars. It's the budget deficit.

Biden's claims of enormous budget deficit reductions are relative to the 2020/2021 highs and are thus mostly irrelevant. But it's still genuinely lower than 2019 by a bit.

If inflation is higher than the interest rate, you make money by taking out debt. Its a similar concept to how if you're wealthy enough you can issue margin indefinitely and you pay the interest with more margin, so you never actually pay it back or have to pay taxes. You can just do it forever and it never gets you in trouble.
Why would anything besides performance and value factor into this decision? "Mary just gets more done for the money than Bob does... but I haven't seen her in awhile... Gone."
Copied from a comment elsewhere. Statements like this are very saddening to me. They completely miss the point of calculus and other high school mathematics. Honestly, I think the idea of non-linear change should be taught starting in elementary school. The ideas underlying calculus are VERY intuitive (adding up small bits of change over time) but completely absent until you reach calculus.

The mechanisms of calculus probably don't matter, but calculus is the study of change. In particular, how things change over time in non-linear ways. What things in real life change in non-linear ways? Almost everything! _Linear_ change is nearly fiction in daily life! Calculus is the abstraction of multiplication in the same way that multiplication is the abstraction of addition.

THIS is the real reason why calculus is important. Knowing how to study, describe, and understand changes that are not constant.

If that isn't important in real life, then neither is counting or multiplication. Unfortunately, calculus is so deeply embedded in the vocabulary and forms of mathematics that even people with a "full education in calculus" often can't describe that. So they resort to stupid metaphors. They only unconsciously understand its value and fail to describe it.

This is an interesting idea, but if you look at bigger examples, such as the todo-list example, the code is littered with `async` noise, calls to `borrow()`, and other fancy stuff like reducers. (A todo list is easily expressed in SwiftUI without much ceremony) Seems like scaling up to actual apps would be a mess.

> Hitler's Big Lie was the lie that the Jews promoted a falsehood.

Just going on the wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie) page, feel free to rebut it if you think it's incorrect:

"Hitler claimed that the [Big Lie] technique had been used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist political leader in the Weimar Republic."

So the term "Big Lie" in that case wasn't Hitlers lie as you claim, but the technique he (untruthfully) claimed that the Jews used in his efforts to scapegoat them.

If the wiki page is correct, the usages we are discussing have the opposite truth structure. If the wiki page is incorrect, then I'd recommend you suggest an edit to correct it.

As voting based social communities become more popular, the more nuanced commentary get's drowned out by the popular viewpoint. The issue isn't the site being "too mainstream", the issue is that the nuance gets lost amongst the noise with social voting. I'm not sure if it is because of the appeal of the popular viewpoint itself, or if it is because of the amount of posts containing it.

Reddit 10+ years ago had, what I consider, great commentary on the default subs/frontpage—it was very different than the Reddit of today.

"Good" social voting sites get more popular with time; I agree with you and think it's almost inevitable that HackerNews will too. My philosophy on this is to just enjoy the site while it's in the state of popularity you like, and try to find a new one when it happens. Yearning for yesteryear isn't exactly productive. ('Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'?)

My take: HackerNews is still quite niche in comparison. I'd estimate the comment volume is one or two orders of magnitude away from the point where it becomes too noisy to find the nuance.

I mean, a legitimate business will leave a voicemail, especially if they want money from you. I normally have unknown callers disabled and don't have any problems. I had to turn it off this week because we have a few maintenance things going on and need to answer calls about when people are going to be coming and going for repairs. But otherwise, I turn it off and have never had any issues with not getting critical calls. You can always turn it on if you know you'll be getting an unknown call in the next 24 hours.
I was a student, and then an academic teacher in Europe in the late 90's. I mention Europe because the students were not any kind of "customers", but just plain students.

I had classes where the teacher was a pain in the ass, at the middle or top of the medieval structure which was academia (this is one of the reasons I left). Their classes were very hard to show how brilliant they were. Usually the courses were crap.

As a young teacher, I had all the more complicated graduates. By that I mean ones where physics was just a compulsory step but they build not care less.

I was quite lax: if they learned the basic stuff, they passed. The better ones, who cared about the grade and made efforts had very good marks.

And then there were the ones who did not even open the book and expected to pass because I wild not fail too many people. I did, had discussions with the dean, sometimes my decision was reversed.

Weather a class is hard depends on many things and on the students. I had very hard quantum mechanics because they are, well, hard. I will not blame the teacher for that.
I am not a government that prints its own money.
Yeah, key thing is flows not instruments at rest. The Fed is currently extracting currency from the market that otherwise was invested in debt, so the flows now are different than they have been at any time in recent memory. Thus the headline is a misdirection play.

The $31T matters less than the fact that the buyer of last resort, who has been participating hugely in the market for decades, has judged it inadvisable to continue. This could have occurred at $3T or $300T. But it has occurred now, and this has serious implications for what the debt-issuers must do next.

First, the government services its debt, it doesn't let interest accrue perpetually.

Second, inflation continually pushes the value of debt down over time.

Third, the US economy continues to grow, which allows for increased government revenue which allows for servicing an increasingly large debt.

No it doesn't. Besides, "not doing something helpful" vs "doing something hurtful" is often simply a matter of perspective.

> For example, that we should we compel doctors to work more hours because anytime they spend at home is to the detriment of their patients.

To use your own language, this example is completely absurd. Here is your logic applied to forbidding harmful actions: "Setting speed limits on roads leads to all kinds of absurd conclusions, for example that we should forbid people to walk too fast in their homes."
