> What doesn't make sense is lowering interest rates when the economy was perfectly healthy in 2019.

Err, "perfectly healthy" may be a bit of a mischaracterization.

Quoting from the July 2019 FOMC statement[1] (my emphasis):

>> Although growth of household spending has picked up from earlier in the year, growth of business fixed investment has been soft.

...then the following September statement[2]:

>> Although household spending has been rising at a strong pace, business fixed investment and exports have weakened.

...and still the following October statement[3]:

>> Although household spending has been rising at a strong pace, business fixed investment and exports remain weak.

Look at the Fed Funds Effective Rate[4] circa 2019, then compare that to the Fed's balance sheet[5] around the same time.

I understand that little ~$500 billion bump in the 6 months prior to the start of COVID is the Fed averting crisis in a bond market that was approaching dangerously close to the sort of illiquidity levels which get sovereign nations into a lot of trouble.

I also understand that banks were supposed to be part of the machine that provide that liquidity, except regulations coming out of the Great Financial Crisis that imposed things like Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Supplementary Leverage Ratio requirements created an unintended incentive for banks to drop low-yield bonds from their now constrained balance sheets to optimize profits.

So the flow of capital towards "business fixed investments" tightened, capital which originates in the form of loans from banks, and interest rates is a knob the Fed can tweak...or something like that.

To be sure, I'm neither a banker nor an economist.

Also worth noting that the S&P 500 went through a -18% correction starting the end of September 2018 and didn't recover until May 2019.

>Besides, how would you handle calls from landlines and such?

The concept of a VC is orthogonal to JWTs. You can use a JWT to embed a VC:

https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#json-web-token

The new thing about VC is that it introduces a mechanism for claims (which is what JWTs contain) to be made and presented in an interoperable way (requiring schemas for data, so multiple parties can make sense of claims without knowing each other), something JWTs cannot do by themselves.

Also, OpenID is being extended to support self-issued claims:

https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-self-issued-v2-1_0.h...

VCs integrate with the existing specs, it doesn't compete with them.
The comments in the linked thread are shocking. One person says they lost a job because of email lost by ProtonMail.
Basically yes, but the links themselves are controlled by the exchanges (and tied in to your general contact for market access).

In general UDP is not a problem in the space because of overprovisioning. Think "algorithms are for people who don't know how to buy more RAM", but with a finicial industry budget behind it.

Yes, Americans tend to focus on the monetary side, completely forgetting there's a whole other world outside of their country that had wide varieties of policies to combat Covid, and everyone is experiencing inflation, including Sweden (at 10% annually as of September 2022) that didn't shut down and didn't spend anywhere close to the money spent by other EU countries to prop up jobs and the economy.

Many people, especially Americans, forget the supply side - a pandemic which wrecked global supply lines, and a war which is impacting some of the most important resources (food and energy), globally. No idea why, maybe because they can't blame a politician/party for that part.

In any case, inflation has many complex causes, is global, and may take quite some time to get reigned in. There's no quick fixes to the supply problems nor for the monetary (supply) problems, and if perceptions are that inflation will continue, it will continue regardless of underlying metrics.
Perhaps there is an allowance for reduction of speed due to increased air pressure?

China is not a high-tech nation. There is a thin patina of bling-bling but underneath they have big trouble between corruption and nobody else trusting them.

China has lots of money (for now...) so they can throw a lot of resources at the problem. In China, quick public successes always take precedence over doing it right.

And while it's called a phone, the primary function for many (dare I say most?) is definitely not doing voice calls, hell my phone app icon isn't even on the homescreen anymore, that's how little I use this device for phone calls and I use it for hours every day otherwise.

There are so many arguments here about big C copyright (Disney etc.) and how it is evil and that it shouldn't be an argument - but what I'm seeing is that small artists, freelancers are getting hurt by the output mostly at this point.

I'm sure he will have plenty of shower thoughts between now and when any Twitter Blue changes go live.

The problem more is that I don't believe he has anyone he trusts inside Twitter to bounce ideas off of, or whom he values input/feedback from.

I honestly don't believe he knows the technical challenges of the service, only having perception as an external user. And I don't think he really sees value in understanding how Twitter currently operates, seeing how he waived all his rights to due diligence when he made his original bid.
I'm fine with a new standard if it can provide me something new that other standards doesn't. But does this do that?

Yes, you can get "partial" verification, like someone wants to know your age, and you can prove it without exposing all your other identifying information. With a centralised authority this is a pretty trivial thing. Nice to have it standardized I guess, but I don't see what's so exciting about it.

Also, Apple: Chinese workers flee Covid lockdown at iPhone factory https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-63447755 . Elsewhere in India, Apple is up its game. India's Tata to add Up to 45,000 woman workers at iPhone parts plant to deal with the shortage of parts created by zero lockdown policy https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-01/india-s-t... . More and more stuff is moving to other parts of Asia. So how long can China keep up with this zero policy as factories move production elsewhere? According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdowns#Variation_b...), a few countries and territories did not use the lockdown strategy at all: including Japan, Belarus, Sweden, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tanzania, two states in Brazil and certain United States states. There are so many lessons to learn from this pandemic, and I hope future generations of Earth have fewer troubles dealing with deadly pandemics.

Lockdown may be a temporary solution. The long-term solution is to maintain better hygiene (masks, washing hands) and get the vaccine without turning into political drama all over Twitter.
I think you're using the word "copy" incorrectly. What does it mean to "copy" a Youtube video? You are literally making a copy of it on your computer as you watch it, that's what watching a video is. You're also making a "copy" of it in your brain.
If you want to just learn it and have no prior JVM knowledge then probably Haskell is the best language to learn the concepts. You then want to first get an idea how to explicity describe and control effects (using the IO-type in Haskell). The next step is then to handle errors (with IO and Either types) and then how to handle effectful streams.

The combination of those 3 allows you to do things like "run those two processes at the same time, where one process does something every minute and the other when a request comes in. Then merge the two together, only execute one action per 30 seconds even if there are more events from the two combined processes. But if an action fails, retry it 3 times while waiting a few seconds between each try. If the 3rd try fails then, depending on the error, stall the process that runs every minute for 10 minutes and only accept events from the request-based process..."

And so on. I found that in languages that don't support those explicit (pure functional) concepts, it is almost impossibly hard to get the logic right when multiple levels of concurrency and error-handling come in.

If you have prior JVM knowledge or want to build something productive then I suggest to start with Scala and ZIO (https://zio.dev/) using the same concepts as described for Haskell.

Then afterwards, have a look into STM (https://zio.dev/reference/stm/ for Scala or https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stm for Haskell). Those essentially allow you to do things that database often do for you (fine grained locking) - just more powerful and composible and in-memory without database IO.

With those things you are well equipped to deal with problems of type #2.
The purpose is completely different. Camera makers put the processing power between the sensor and whatever RAW fioes their cameras create. For people that do their own post-processing.

Phone makers put the processng power at the post processing of photos, for people who never do their own post processing.

Both approaches are equally valid, they simply aim at different markets. And as far as softeare vs. physics goes, no amount of software and processing power can overcome the laws of optics.
Any tools can generate datatype from string?

> Often it’s the wireless earbuds, which won’t reconnect or are connected to the wrong device.

Wireless headsets seem to have intentionally crippled functionality in many areas for no particular reason[1]. The point of being wireless is that you aren't connected to a device. Why do they need a logical connection? If you're listening to two devices, just accept the packets from both devices, and play them over the audio output.

[1] See also: if you turn on the microphone, you can no longer have audio output in stereo. It switches to mono, because... because.
Sure.

And that's why I buy music off Bandcamp whenever I can, and thankfully most of the music I listen to is on smaller labels, so usually even more money goes to artists.

I'm just saying that the solutions that pop up once you "win" are not necessarily ones that provide a win for the people you are trying to protect.
I'm impressed by your faith in engineers, but it might be misplaced. I enjoyed a five months paid non compete when last moving between banks, and build nothing worthwhile during that time.

> If you don't want that, wouldn't a pad be a better option than a phone?

1) Do they make devices that aren't phones that are the size of a note"pad"? The smallest non-phone tablet devices are now (with the death of iPod touch) the size of (at best) a small note"book", not a sensibly-sized-for-portable-usage note"pad".

2) That doesn't even solve the problem as tons of Internet-connected messaging software now supports calls, so I feel like you are missing the point in some sense: the person you are responding to is seriously talking about WhatsApp!
That must be the Google Dialer app. The one in LineageOS which I guess comes from AOSP is perfectly fine and never bothers me about anything. Come to the dark side! ;-)
70% percent of Spotify revenue goes to the artists (content owners to be precise), I doubt that was the case when you bought a CD (I have found numbers closer to 40%). It is not abysmal, revenue never seemed to be better.

Résumé/CV: https://sspilsbury.com/hire
Email: s@polysquare.org

I'm a 2nd year Machine Learning PhD student looking for an internship to work on something related to my thesis. The thesis is on compositional generalization problems in deep learning, right now with a particular focus on NLP and interactive environments. Asides from that, I have a lot of background in a previous life doing research/graphics/UI/web/backend/ETL stuff at various other places.

Some papers I'm a first author of include:

- Compositional Generalization in Grounded Language Learning via Induced Model Sparsity (https://aclanthology.org/2022.naacl-srw.19/)

- Meta-learning from demonstrations improves Compositional Generalization (https://openreview.net/forum?id=hb3Et9tJSC9).

Some open research problems which might be relevant to what you are working on:

- Much improved sample efficiency for language-interactive robots or agents (don't need to train every single combination of different aspects)

- Compositional path synthesis

- Compositional particle or protein synthesis (eg, composing two separate subgraphs into a single graph by way of following some learned rules)

- Understanding why transformers can and can't do different kinds of compositional generalization

- Improved sample efficiency and generalization on many different language tasks in different language domains (for example, grammatical error correction, machine translation, semantic parsing, entity and relationship extraction).

One hard requirement is that we must be able to publish the research results of my internship such that it can be included in my thesis.

> Inflation is caused by a river of money poured into the economy. Supply&Demand forces then devalue the money, i.e. inflation.

Inflation isn't a purely monetary phenomenon. You can have price increases resulting in inflation due to supply and demand issues in various products, and especially more so when the issues in question are a pandemic that disrupted supply lines and a war impacting energy and food exporters and thus prices. Combine that with the increased monetary supply and you have problems.
