>Also, ignoring fraud, wouldn't the flow of capital for PPP be primarily to the lower rungs, not from them? The money was to keep paying hourly wage employees in factories and retail while the business was shut down, right?

That's sort of the entire narrative here, though. In theory, you are correct. BUT - the "loans" being forgiven across the board is, essentially, removing the step where businesses prove that the money was used for what it was supposed to be used for. So, absent concrete proof, it is easy to speculate that this was just another wealth transfer to the top.

Will we ever know? Probably not. But it's one more thing to throw onto the outrage bonfire for every side. It gives the left something to talk about (look at the wealth transfer to the rich). It give the right something to talk about (look at this gross overspend by the government). It gives the middle something to talk about (look at how smart we are knowing that this would happen).

And it's all political theater.

These are my opinions.

Edit: that being said, look at the comments in this thread for literal arguments that are examples of every single point in that last paragraph.
If you borrowed money to pay it off and you're still relatively early in your loan then it's great. You just got a massively discounted house. Anyone who bought a house just before the pandemic and locked in an ultra low interest rate to boot is going to make an absolute fortune on their home in 10 or 15 years time. They probably have already with prices up so much. Interest rates will cool it down but cost of living adjustments will counter that.

You wont get remote work without proving yourself not to be a child first. Methods of doing this:

1. you have to lean into being "camera on" presentable, and you will need a project portfolio that is better than any bootcamp grad. Riskier, may have to do a ridiculous amount to offset your lack of experience. Likely will take a few months

2. You get an office or hybrid job and demonstrate you can work with people over time. Almost no risk, reliable and gives you control over how you brand yourself. Minimum 6 months.

3. Lie about 2, pretend to, or do a short stint working for family or friend and get them to provide a good reference.

Being an IC doesn't inherently conflict with enjoying your work. Yes, TC is important and as you pointed out, it gives you options to do other things. OTOH, thinking that "someone else's dream" must necessarily be an awful daily grind is a folly - many people enjoy software engineering and it doesn't bother them that it's "someone else's dream". Being technically challenged brings them joy. Going one step further, you can actually enjoy the mission and the impact of your work, so not only is the process nice, but the result as well.

It depends on where you are in the green card process. If you are somehow in the last stage, with a pending I-485 application, you do have job flexibility (known as portability). Short of that, the only way to get out of this awful loop is to pursue a self-sponsored EB1A green card, but the standard is high as you probably know.
For example a programmer can create a full-stack micro-app for accepting payments. The programmer will make it super flexible, configurable and secure. It will be win-win for both programmer (because they will earn money on the micro-app) and the users of the payments micro-app (because it will be pluggable and well-designed since a dedicated person has been working on the one functionality for year).

Most big name champagne is priced to cover the marketing and sponsorship, small estate champagne can sometimes be better value for money as they have smaller overheads. At the same time the big names can produce more at scale or rely on deeper stocks for blending before bottling. Rather than arguing that no one can taste the difference go to a wine show or even a specialist tasting where you can try many different types then decide what is worth buying a case of.
Ask HN: Why does the media say inflation is up every month?
I'm posting this on this forum because this is an innumeracy issue and you folks are very numerate. If I discuss this anywhere else the politics and emotions will distract, but the numbers are the focus here:

The last three months, core CPI month over month have been 0.0%, 0.1%, and 0.4% respectively (annualized rates of about 0%, 1%, and 5% respectively, or about 2% overall)

Yet for three straight months every time these numbers come out the NY Times and other media plaster a front page story saying "Inflation is stubbornly still at 8.9%" or something, because they are choosing to use a 12 month rolling average, but they all talk about it as if that's just natural, not a choice (and a questionable choice that is at too coarse a level to see what's happening RIGHT NOW)

Certainly there's plenty of nuance to go around -- inflation has been very low for 3 months, but was rather high for months before that, so it's hardly time to celebrate yet. But the indicators from the most recent 3 months are consistently VERY GOOD if you want inflation reduced, and this part, which is also the more news-worthy part, is not getting any attention.

What's up with this? Mainstream media has always been a little innumerate but this is a whole other level. Is it innumeracy in journalism, ideological bias, general fearmongering to sell papers, or what?

>>That goes against company interests.

Nice ideal statement

The problem is that there is no "company" that has a will or ability to think or act on it's interests - the "company" is literally a virtual creation.

What DOES exist are a collection of people in executive positions. Some of them may take a long view and see that what is good for the company and stakeholders is good for them, and act on those ideas. But, sadly, what usually seems to happen is that the system actively filters into executive positions sociopathic individuals who will happily game the system for whatever advantage they can gain, and they're usually smart enough to not do it in the easier-to-catch direct bribery/kickback schemes. But, if they think they won't get caught, many will do so.

>>I bet you Facebook doesn't want any of the latter.

Again, there is no "Facebook" who doesn't want the latter. There is Zuckerberg, with primary controlling interest, who wants what he wants, and the board and a bunch of executives. And he can exert some level of control, including the threat to summarily fire them upon his displeasure. That will not prevent any of them bending the organization to their own benefit if they think they can get away with it, and nothing says in advance that they won't try something corrupt if they think they can get away with it (& nothing says they're right or wrong about thinking they can get away with it either).

The State of Space Situational Awareness – With Vyoma
Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is likely to become one of the key areas of change and, hopefully, cooperation in the space industry in the next 10 years. The number of satellites in orbit is growing on an almost monthly basis. At the same time, so is the amount of space debris in Earth’s orbits.

With tens of thousands of pieces tracked, out of millions estimated to be in orbit, this is a problem that many operators believe is increasingly worth solving. And various teams and companies are looking at how.

Debris can be tracked through a combination of space based and ground based sensors (radar, lidar & telescopes), each of which has its own merits and weaknesses, and the data combined in a Space Situational Awareness solution. The accuracy and recency of these data can enable satellite operators to mitigate risks and, importantly, avoid costly, complex maneuvers.

For example, some operators perform and avoidance maneuver if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of collision – better data could reduce this risk significantly. And when a maneuver is required, the satellite operator needs to factor in how long it will take. If we’re talking about differential drag maneuvers for example, or for certain propulsion systems, preparations need to begin hours, if not days, before the closest approach.

Mitigating debris risks is becoming a key factor in mission design. It can affect everything from sub-system choices to operating regions – with knock-on impacts on ground segment requirements, data processing resources, SWaP considerations and more.

Emerging SSA solutions will require wide adoption and engagement with stakeholders across the industry. And there is optimism from many that consensus-building is possible, giving the potential for debris to affect so many different services, companies, organizations, and countries.

In episode 43 of the Space Industry podcast we delve much further into the state of the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) field with Stefan Frey of satsearch member Vyoma.
Accessibility should be fundamental to production in professional organisations.
If you look at the POSIX standard that removes fgrep & egrep [1], then you can see that most of the utilities being removed there really are quite obscure things.

In light of that, then another (perhaps more charitable) way to look at it is that the maintainers are keen to clean up stuff that they perceive as old cruft, and perhaps don't realise quite how ingrained these particular pieces of "cruft" are into the ecosystem.

(On the other hand: the same POSIX link specifies the removal of cpio and, uh, tar. I'm not sure I see that last one flying.)

Yes, thanks, I'm aware most MUDs use telnet, but in my opinion, that's a barrier to entry to most users.

And thanks for the link, but it makes me sad to see a repro that was last updated 5 years ago.

> I'm sure there's ways to have xterm.js use telnet.

You have to have a server in-between to do straight telnet. (You can't do a vanilla TCP/IP connection from the browser.)

So I'd like to have WebSockets + xterm.js taking the place of telnet + terminal...

And then I'd like a .Net API that looks like curses, or like this GUI, or something... and that persists the console (like tmux or something), so if the user re-connects, they get their view restored "automagically."

Thanks for the link, but I find that reasoning entirely unconvincing:

The ability to interpret argv[0] as a way to avoid exec is traded for hypothetical linking - but wherever linking is used (such as for idk a mail filter or other configurable executable) that's the place where a wrapper shell script could be used instead. And avoiding improper launching of egrep/fgrep from a program that doesn't bother to build argv[0] properly is also an (unlikely) non-use case that's better handled by fixing that offending program.
There was probably a lot of "I'm going to get mine" attitude, but I also suspect many took the loans in anticipation of needing them. Remember, very smart people said the economy was going to get destroyed so it would be prudent for businesses to prepare. If you didn't need the loan, but were told to prepare for the worst, why wouldn't you get the loan?

Clickhouse is a column store designed for analytics [OLAP] workloads. It would compete with, say, Apache Druid or Apache Pinot.

ScyllaDB is a wide column store which is, in fact, a row store; you can call it a "key-key-value," since it had a partitioning key and a clustering [or "sort" key]. Which is more for transactional workloads [OLTP]. So it is more comparable with Cassandra or DynamoDB.

So they are really designed for different sorts of things.

That being said, ScyllaDB has some features, like Workload Prioritization, so you can run analytics, like range or full table scans against it without hammering your incoming transactions. But it wasn't designed specifically for that.

I have no idea if OP is exaggerating, or even telling the truth. The point is that anecdotes are worthless. Giving anecdotes any level of serious consideration is inherently exaggeration of a niche position.

This subthread is now filled with comments taking an anecdote from a complete stranger -- someone they don't know and whose story they cannot possibly verify -- and attempting to shame/attack/villainize anyone who presents an alternative to that narrative. One anecdote is good, but the other one is bad. Why?

It's just another form of argumentum ad misericordiam (appeal to pity): if you discount the emotional narrative, you must be a heartless person, unworthy of serious consideration.
which, critically, the government can verify without knowing the user's ID

Wouldn't they know your IP address from which the request is coming? Or potentially use other browser tracking and fingerprinting tricks?

Maybe I misunderstood but it didn't sound like you were describing blind tokens issued in advance.

Thus, the government might learn that some user accessed that particular endpoint

In my view the government knowing the endpoint associated with an individual request is a critical shortcoming. It's just too short a crevasse for them to jump to get that missing piece (identity). Even if the protocol is sound there are other means (eg. force an endpoint to hand over logs, associate with authentications via timing or other characteristics, and use other tracking metadata provided by the endpoint itself or other third parties or even ISP's to figure out who accessed what). No thank you.

Also creates an easy, centralized chokepoint for more widespread censorship. Simply put, the government is not a choice actor I would trust with this type of capability. The technology is not mature enough to truly, in practice, provide the protections needed to do this right.

It's sort of interesting. Just the mental gamesmanship aspect of the entire thing.

There are people who will swear up and down that welfare is the root of all evil. That bootstrap pulling is necessary, that there's opportunity for everyone regardless of their situation, and that all you need is hard work and dedication to succeed in the US. They will wring their hands about the federal deficit and will howl about the size of the national debt. Just look at the student loan forgiveness issue.

But if you dangle a $6K per head loan in front of them, with no consequences whatsoever, every one of these same people will take and say "what did you expect me to do? I've got a business to run." Because for the vast majority of them, complaining about welfare was never about their taxes, or even considering the plight of the individuals who need the money.

It's about the thing that they complain the "woke" masses of doing.

It's virtue signaling. It was never about the money. It was about self-justification.

No, because the watches don't claim to be an rolex, even if they tell time and the ID doesn't claim to be legal and state issued.

In this case, unofficial maps are a preexisting good already distinct from a certified land survey.

Governments accept unofficial maps for some uses, and require a certified survey for others. Governments are clear on when one is required but not the other. Governments even provide citizens instructions for how to make their own uncertified maps.

Official land surveys are easily distinguished from unofficial maps by the lack of a surveyors stamp/certification. Governments have experience processing official and unofficial documents, and know to look for the stamp, so the risk of confusion is low.

The site also makes it clear to the purchaser that they are unofficial.
> The only way I know for sure about their rights and beliefs is via the requirements in the license.

Yes, and so you have to comply with the license or not use their code. If you distribute some code with some conditions for its reuse described in a license, would you like it if I called your conditions / license "stupid", ignore it and still use your code as I see fit (which would be illegal)? Obviously no.

Another way I like to look at this is to define Innovation in a bit of a different way then most people think about it. If you think about Innovation as simply "removing steps from a process", it's a playground for all sorts of ideas.

In a nutshell, take any process at all. Maybe something you do a lot. Or something you have some vested interest in. Or something that you aspire to learn. Really break it out into its nitty gritty step by step details. Now mull over where you see steps that can be removed or combined. That's what most of the time people get really excited about. E.g. "They used to have to do these 7 things to order a cab, and now its just these 3 things"
