That was Experts Exchange model before StackOverflow ate their lunch primarily because it was free [1] as devs would rather answer questions for no money (i.e. to help people & build rep) than little money which would turn the motivation from the feel good act of helping people to whether it would be worth it to spend their time answering questions, which for most devs it wouldn't be.

> The second point would also probably cause some serious economic problems, as a lot of peoples' and businesses' decisions are based on property values generally going up faster than the rate of inflation.

But that's a big problem. If housing prices go up faster than inflation, then eventually most of our costs of living will be housing. And here we are, apparently.

I think it's also a big problem that housing costs are ignored in inflation calculations. I think that has lead to the rise in housing costs in general having been ignored. And now it's become a problem.
To me, the big difference is that I believe that I can have a greater positive impact by working at one of these megacorps and donating a ton of money to charity. Where I work, I am not generating money for my employer but helping improve an external software ecosystem. This I feel is a small positive thing at a company that might be a net harm to the world.

But the pay is way way way way higher than what I could get by building a website for the local food bank. Instead, I can donate five or six figures annually to charitable causes and still come out ahead for my own income.

Here is a story I wrote in June about Vim 9.

I am 100% talking about right now, the current versions that most distros ship with.
This may sound a bit geeky, but I occasionally inspect my tires and pull that stuff out. The two offenders are little shark tooth shaped pieces of hard stone, and tiny bits of steel wire that are supposedly from worn out car tires. But it's true that frequent flats are a sign of a worn out tire.
Kind of makes sense: they used symbolic logic, where everything was a symbol for some higher thing, and the two highest things were the good (god) and the bad (satan).

So you can reason out a whole system of thought based purely on a couple of known symbols, even if they are completely unconnected in time and space. (Eg, there were three wise men and god is a trinity therefore it fits)

Cause-and-effect thinking came along later, with the Enlightenment, and relies on facts. Some people are still caught up in symbolic thinking to this day.

> Serious question: were those results really put to the test?

Bernanke was already considered one of the foremost experts on the Great Depression when he was appointed Fed chairman. From a 1993 paper he co-authored on central banks' reaction to the situation (when things were still on the gold standard):

> The initial contractions in the United States and France were largely self-inflicted wounds; no binding external constraint forced the United States to deflate in 1929, and it would certainly have been possible for the French government to grant the Bank of France the power to conduct expansionary open market operations. However, Temin (1989) argues that, once these destabilizing policy measures had been taken, little could be done to avert deflation and depression, given the commitment of central banks to maintenance of the gold standard. Once the deflationary process had begun, central banks engaged in competitive deflation and a scramble for gold, hoping by raising cover ratios to protect their currencies against speculative attack. Attempts by any individual central bank to reflate were met by immediate gold outflows, which forced the central bank to raise its discount rate and deflate once again. According to Temin, even the United States, with its large gold reserves, faced this constraint. Thus Temin disagrees with the suggestion of Friedman and Schwartz (1963) that the Federal Reserve's failure to protect the U.S. money supply was due to misunderstanding of the problem or a lack of leadership; instead, he claims, given the commitment to the gold standard (and, presumably, the absence of effective central bank cooperation), the Fed had little choice but to let the banks fail and the money supply fall.

> For our purposes here it does not matter much to what extent central bank choices could have been other than what they were. For the positive question of what caused the Depression, we need only note that a monetary contraction began in the United States and France, and was propagated throughout the
world by the international monetary standard.

> They will tell you that Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are pretty important to them.

Agreed. If someone’s mental model of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp doesn’t extend beyond “scroll through bad posts from distant relatives” then they don’t really understand how those products are used by the general public.

A lot of people in the tech world never really got engaged with social media, stopped visiting (or deleted their accounts), and have anchored their mental models to their personal experience a decade ago. Meanwhile, the world has changed massively and Meta has a lot of users for a reason.
I've seen this. This is the same basic payload/TTP from the regional news sites that were compromised (via shared scripts hosted by McClatchy and MediaNews) a few years ago (2019). Op needs to hit the site with a new IP and with a 'referer' to get the second stage. There is also some JS fingerprinting, like checking GPU model, to ensure a plausible client visit. This was a fun piece of malware to dissect.

I believe Symantec classified it as SocGholish.

The 12-month inflation rate was already 8% prior to the invasion in Ukraine. Gas prices nearly doubled between March 2020 and February 2022. Blaming inflation on the war in Ukraine only makes sense if you ignore the previous two years.
The nuclear family as you call it has a lot of built in mental and emotional safeguards for your child. Even with a solid nuclear family it's hard to provide those safeguards, if you are intending to have children without them just be aware that you are going to have to work much harder to provide those mental and emotional safeguards. Parenting is already hard enough make very sure that you truly want to make it even harder still by going this route. I'm not saying it's impossible but you are in some sense doing it on hard mode.

I make a good living building software for nonprofits. It’s true there are plenty of opportunities for better software out there. But, as is often the case, understanding the industry helps.

Enthusiasm and being able to code are great, but making an effort to understand the problem space is even more valuable.

>Attributing one thing to climate change is difficult.

This title is pretty terrible when you consider the article.

The Sphinx, in the Cairngorms, which is historically the longest-lasting patch of snow in the UK, has melted.
The Sphinx, on remote Braeriach, a 1,296m (4,252ft) Munro, has melted away more frequently in the last 18 years.
According to records, it previously melted fully in 1933, 1959, 1996, 2003, 2006, 2017, 2018, 2021 and now 2022.
Before 1933, it is thought to have last melted completely in the 1700s.

The Scottish Mountaineering Club began noting the fortunes of the patch in the 1840s and more recently scientists and ecologists have gathered information.

It's really about the longest lasting patch of snow in Scotland melting. I guess that is where they get "Scotland is snow free". And the mountaineering club has been making observations since 1840.

So this is really around 180 years of observations. All the melts since they started observations occurred in the last 89 years and the period between melts has been getting shorter and shorter.

If that's not data, what is it?
Sure, until they are sick and they suddenly realize the quality of the medical equipment is actually more important. Or there is a disaster and they realize getting electricity or having satellite comms is more important. God forbid you end up in a war and the quality and innovation in your weapons determines if you live or die. Don't even get me started on food.

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are only important when life is good. They are icing on the cake. But once things go south, they can be quickly discarded.
The article describes them as a different species — but doesn’t that mean we should not have been able to create viable offspring with them? What am I misunderstanding?
Nothing to do with debt/GDP. GDP is a flow measure, if you cannot pay back the debt in your example that means the total assets are lower than the sum of debt (otherwise could sell assets). Some countries have more private savings than GDP, for example.

When you seek to a timestamp from the source, or write a temporary matroska file and go over it in parallel in a second pass, timestamps being rounded variously up or down will cause off-by-ones and dropped frames and desyncs.

1 ms is pretty imprecise for audio seeks, however - mkvtoolnix actually increases precision to sample rate when there's audio. But why do all tracks have the same timescale? Oh right, TrackTimeStampScale was in the spec all along and could be used to solve all of this...apart from being floating-point.

At Meta’s scale, that’s about 1 employee for every 45,000 monthly active users across their platforms. Many of those MAUs are using multiple Meta products.

I’m more surprised that people think this is too many employees. They’re serving a significant portion of the entire world’s population with their products. Of course they’re going to need a lot of employees.

So, would you claim that: "There is no probability whether an *electron* is on the path towards earth. It either is or it isn't."? I guess you must know something that Heisenberg didn't.

No one wants to see civilians die. But killing civilians doesn't change Ukrainian military strength at all.

That's why such an attack is stupid and barbaric. It changes nothing about the war and just manages to waste Russian money and kill innocent people.

If Russia's best response is really just attacking Universities and parks, it means that the Ukrainian army is invisible to Russia and Russia has no ability to strike the troops.

Russia seemingly just confirmed what we all were thinking, they have no ability to beat the Ukrainian army anymore, and have decided to simply attack civilians out of frustration.

------

In contrast, the destruction of the Crimean bridge destroys one of two railroads that are supplying the Russian army in the south. Logistics for troop supplies are ruined.

The strategic implications are obvious, and Russia seemingly has no way to stop the Ukrainian southern counter-offensive... And now has roughly 1/2 of the military supplies moving forward.
