You weren't downvoted for saying that money printing -> inflation[1], everyone with a basic grasp of arithmetic can understand this.

You were probably downvoted for thinking that letting the economy completely implode was preferable to inflation. Or, alternatively, that piling a few million bodies onto the altar of economic growth[2] in a pre-vaccine world was a good idea.

[1] Also, there's a difference between Wall St. inflation and Main St. inflation, and the latter is as much caused by the war and supply chain disruptions as it is by the printing press.

[2] Growth which wouldn't have even materialized, because everyone with an ounce of self-preservation dramatically changed their spending and travel habits.
I have no insight on the studio but that it's only logical "impairment" must mean the response was even less than the one expected if the same amount of glucose and no sweetener was ingested.

Otherwise it's misleading and not surprising at all.

What the UK had before was pretty much "EU membership the good parts" - and (a slim majority of) the public rejected that. Is full membership really possible?
I find 720p entirely OK at 8-10' from a 65" screen. But distractingly fuzzy/pixelly at ~5-6' from the same screen. And lots of people are on smaller, older screens (in the 30" and 40" ranges) and/or at viewing distances where 720p vs. 1080p isn't really a big difference.

And then there are young kids, who truly do not give a shit and if you've mainly got Netflix for them, 720p would definitely be fine. Though their kids' content is so bad, on average, and last I checked you can't narrow kids' accounts down to an allowlist instead of just "everything Netflix marked as for-kids", that I wouldn't recommend turning kids loose on it, personally, even with time-limits.
Well, by that logic, people lived on Cuba for thousands of years without access to American goods and services.

Except that people absolutely take that left turn despite the sign - it's just a very convenient shortcut, and UK has extremely lax enforcement on the road. The chances of getting a ticket for taking an illegal turn are close to zero. So Google will have the data that a left turn is indeed possible there, because clearly - people are taking it. Me reporting the "no left turn" sign is probably treated as malicious since clearly - in real life people are taking this turn all the time.

The notion link requires access. Hoping that it would be available publically.
You've never been targeted for harassment, obviously.

Blocking a comment, or even blocking a user for a comment is useless on platforms that allow free and endless user accounts.

Mail spam/scam folders of everyone's email accounts are proof that "let me moderate it myself" does not work for the majority of people.

And remember "It is harder to police bad behavior than it is to automate it."
The main self-inflicted cause here is the energy crisis, which is by and large a result of bad policy recently and over the past decades. The second self-inflicted cause is public spending during Covid, bearing in mind that the UK has always been more exposed because it is not 'shielded' behind the euro.

If you are thinking of Brexit, I don't think it is a major cause although it obviously does not help.

Asset prices are inversely correlated to interest rates, so companies can raise more capital by selling shares when rates are low than when they’re high.
I do not want to be that guy but is not Chomskyan linguistics an animal language study since it concerns humans? It seems strange to me that one would think that ie. birds are more closely related to other mammals then other mammals are to humans.

This is not a ban, and sounds pretty reasonable to me.

The complication here is that Node in part decided on needing fully-qualified imports not just to better align with the browser, but also to use multiple file extensions in a complex signaling process (ETA: which the browser uses mime-types and metadata like type="module" for rather than file extensions): the file extension could be any of .js, .cjs, and .mjs, and then depending on package.json and some other metadata, Node may load the various files in all sorts of different ways.

Typescript decided that they don't always know what output file extension you may need because Node made that logic way too complex and they don't want to just reimplement their own buggy version of Node's loader mechanics but "backwards" in a terrible "guess the file extension" game, so they went with the easiest option which was "user now has to tell us the file extension".

Even if Typescript didn't have a policy to reduce the number of modifications it emits, it's still Node's fault that the file extensions now have three options with an extremely complex dance between them and getting a "guess the file extension" game right would be an extended PITA.

Some people are much more likely to engage in bad behavior than others. The thing is, people who engage in bad behavior are also much more likely to be "whales," excessive turboposters who have no life and spend all day on these sites.

Someone who has a balanced life, who spends time at work, with family, in nature, only occasionally goes online, uses most of their online time for edification, spends 30 minutes writing a reply if they decide one is warranted - that type of person is going to have a minuscule output compared to the whales. The whales are always online, thoughtlessly writing responses and upvoting without reading articles or comments. They have a constant firehouse of output that dwarfs other users.

Worth reading "Most of What You Read on the Internet is Written by Insane People"[1].

If you actually saw these people in real life, chances are you'd avoid interacting with them. People seeing a short interview with the top mod of antiwork almost destroyed that sub (and lead to the mod stepping down). People say the internet is a bad place because people act badly when they're not face to face. That might be true to some extent, but we're given online spaces where it's hard to avoid "bad actors" (or people that engage in excessive bad behavior) the same way we would in person.

And these sites need the whales, because they rely on a constant stream of low quality content to keep people engaged. There are simple fixes that could be done, like post limits and vote limits, but sites aren't going to implement them. It's easier to try to convince people that humanity is naturally terrible than to admit they've created an environment that enables - and even relies on - some of the most unbalanced individuals.

Yes, it is a grift through and through. Van living (and therefore tiny homes) are incredibly expensive. Storing things you need for later, having room for certain activities, actually has a cost savings that these people are unaware of.

Part of being born in America and not having a very intelligent parent to guide you through involves being an easy target for an ever growing and complex series of grifts.
Sure but there’s 200 cables so that’s one break every 2 years on average.
dd vs. cat – is dd still relevant these days? (2011)
Thanks. Your comment resonated with me. I had a similar crash/burn at the same time after a decade of 100hr work weeks hoping to "break out" but it never happened. I don't really know what comes next either or even if I have real wisdom from it, I no longer have any concerns about it though.

For a while when people ask me what I do I told them "I'm a failure." Which got some interestingly hostile responses much of the time, so I've stopped doing it. I think those are just other people on the same path but don't want to admit it yet.
Wouldn't they be at a strict disadvantage because they cannot eat other typical-chirality-producers for resources?
The experiment in the article explicitly does control for this

> The participants (20 per group) were given sweetener packets of aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, or stevia, each bulked out with glucose to an equivalent size, with another group that got just glucose and another group that took no sweeteners at all.

In this experiment, the artificial sweeteners used glucose as the filler. They also account for the effects of the glucose filler on the insulin response in all groups by measuring the difference in the response.
Well this is terrifying. Pretty soon you'll have to crack open your appliances to snip the antennas to prevent them from calling home, rather than just not giving them the wifi password...!

I guess the Ordnance Survey doesn't use a Mercator projection, so grid north and true north are only identical along a vertical line passing through the middle of their map?
Up to the minute sensor data for something so remote that it needs a satellite uplink is either going to be for something incredibly critical or totally overkill and a waste of money. With Swarm, you could be waiting up to 2 hours between passes that last anywhere between 10 and 50 minutes so it's not like you'll have your data instantly for large portions of the day.

Yeah but once a minute is overkill for lots of things - remote river flood warning every 15 minutes, river water quality once an hour, temp or rain fall once and hour
I had a fossil hybrid for awhile, and actually rather enjoyed it (gods below it was huge though - 44mm face). The problem was, if it wasn't my daily driver (that is to say, always within communication range of my phone), the battery would drain so fast. And it was a relatively uncommon coin battery, not a rechargeable battery.

I wish that hadn't been the case, but after replacing the battery 3x in one month because I swapped out watches occasionally, it went into retirement.

Ignored completely. Musk was cool until he opened his mouth all the way.
The meme of fusion being "5 years from now ... for past 40 years" is so frustrating. This is because the investment into it went down to abysmal -- not even "maintenance" level of when it was just getting started.

If the government spent money on it, we would likely have more progress.

And today isn't like it was before -- we have ReBCO ;)
I think most posts are short lived so they drop off quickly and people move on to new content. I think a lot of folks miss a lot of activity that way. I know I miss a bunch. And if you miss the zeitgeist it doesn’t matter what you say cause nobody will reply.

The twitter retweet constantly amplifies and the tweets are centered around an account vs a post.

Reddit should behave similarly but I think subreddit topics stick longer.
once you write a custom element you'll never go back to ports if you can help it. So ezpz. You can keep your state entirely in Elm with no issues.
Move to China or North Korea I guess? Still seems to have problems with graft though.
> The temptation to get "finance brained"

Trust me, people don't get into programming video games for the money.

Anyway, this is a funny perspective. Zach Latta, the Hack Club founder, got a Thiel Fellowship. I would not characterize Peter Thiel's philanthropy as 100% mission driven. I also don't think he's a supervillian. But there is a finance angle, not a negative one, to even the most seemingly twee retrocomputing things.

Maybe if you saw Hack Club's deck, you would comprehend.

Any talented non-college enrolled young person could also consider a Thiel Fellowship. There are many opportunities out there.

Sure, depending on the circumstances. Had a friend just start back at a company in a different city after leaving for a couple years. He left mainly because of a bad manager the first time. That wasn't being laid off, but it's similar.

Sometimes companies need to do layoffs to survive, or they merged and have duplicate roles. Lots of reasons. It makes sense to take care of good talent that have to be let go in case they come back later.

> the UK economy (low productivity)

(Not directing this at you, as I have no knowledge of what you consider low productivity to mean.)

What is often missed in the talk of low productivity is that the general assumption on hearing the phrase is that the problem is a lazy and unproductive workforce, which leads to the workers being an obvious target of blame.

In economics terms MFP is the more important view of productivity, and it's the amount of output that can be generated for a given set of inputs including not just labour but also capital/investment. And in general terms the largest issue here is not lazy workers but extractive management and asset-owners who take out the profits (as dividends, salaries, share buy-backs, etc) rather than reinvest them in the companies and the infrastructure. Without that investment the organisation remains below par for productivity as the inputs remain stagnant.

And that understanding shifts both the blame (and the required direction of travel to tackle the issue) to where it should be focused. Not pay, workers rights, etc, but addressing the inequality that allows that extraction which is the real cause of the productivity gap.
I would yea, especially if the separation was handled well and I was still looking for consistent work.
I mean, if Cuba lacks resources, then trading isn't beneficial to them anyway. What they want is access to capital. Either to international credit pools (to bring in equipment), or straight up cash infusion via US Tourism.

Neither requires them to actually liberalize their economy, but they would certainly benefit from capitalism.
I could see this being very useful for scientific beacons, for example to track ocean currents or bird migrations. The latter currently use cellular connections, but can only track birds through areas where reception is present.
I literally cannot name a single person like this in my entire career. Yes, less than ideal performs, but nobody that's utterly useless or spending all day on side projects.
It's the best approach for flipping your bozo bit in the minds of most of your readers, but I don't see how that leads to "growth."
Advice: Avoid paying via Zelle. At $Job, we are a long-time customer of one of the large banks which owns Zelle. Said bank told us to avoid paying for anything via Zelle, unless we had very clear & easy legal recourse in case of fraud. The did not quite say "Zelle is only a better payment solution if you are cheating people"...but they came fairly close.
Hmm. I am going to oversimplify a little bit.

On average, young people see the world, see that it does not work, and want to change it. Hence, they chant: "Change things!"

On average, old people see the world, they already settled on a routine that mostly works for them ( genuine survivor bias ) and do not want to change one thing for fear of losing what little they have. Hence, they chant: "Stop changing things!"

It is a question of balance. I always said that the biggest problem with democracy is its weakest link as it depends on a well informed voter. Fear is not a great advisor, but it is a great motivator.

Companies should be able to hire / lay off at will. They exists to generate profit for owners. To protect people we have taxes and we should also have UBI. Some countries can definitely afford it.

Why are we to take yishan as an authority on content moderation, have you BEEN to reddit?! the kind of moderation of repetitive content he's referring to is clearly not done AT ALL.

He does not put forth any constructive advice. be "operationally excellent". ok, thanks. you're wrong about spam. you're wrong about content moderation. ok, thanks. who is his audience? he's condescending the people who are dialed into online discourse inbetween finding new fun ways to plant trees and design an indulgent hawaiian palace. i expected more insight, to be honest. but time and time again we find the people at the top of internet companies are disappointingly common in their perspective on the world. they just happened to build something great once and it earned them a lifetime soapbox ticket.

ok, thanks.

My grandfather is 98 years old.

Exactly this! Phrase books give you just enough of the language to get into trouble, but never enough to get you out of it. Like third-year Spanish students on a class trip to Mexico.
Yeah, and don't let anybody ask what compensation the EVP is getting, there's definitely no fat to trim there...
Thanks for the question! We didn't really focus on the enterprise market yet. So far our customers are individual users looking for a time blocking solution that goes beyond calendar features. The main target is busy professionals like managers and founders, the response has been very good and we really feel like we've been scraping the surface of the market.

Regarding the CAC, so far the vast majority of our growth was organic we invested very little in paid advertising.

You are talking about a niche. There is more jobs than employees can fill. Companies are begging to find qualified employees.
It's fair to criticize the end to end encrypted claim though because for a long time, WhatsApp was storing unencrypted backups. Now that has been improved, but I doubt that most people opt into that. If 10% of users has turned off backups, and 5% has put a password on their backups, you have 85% of people being vulnerable. If some authority wants to know what has been discussed on WhatsApp, they won't ask Meta, they will ask Google or Apple. With the above (imaginary) numbers, if there is a group with 5 random Signal users and a group with 5 random WhatsApp users, the WhatsApp content is going to be available most likely to authorities that Google and Apple deliver content to, while the content of the Signal group is most likely not available. For iCloud, Apple claims end to end encryption but they keep a backup key around so it's mostly just marketing. There might be a small benefit from this through protection from employees side stepping company policies.
Which is why any approaches relying on identity verification or scanning are bound to fail - sandboxing/capability security MUST become built into languages
Web of trust works too well and unfortunate ideas can be entertained by someone you trust, which is a no-no once you have top-down ideas.

Remote communication in places without cellular connectivity. Air quality, water quality, remote weather stations, aviation, industrial applications... Latency anywhere from a few seconds to minutes. Not used like normal networking, it's something you build around for very specialized applications.
Something similar. I was a pretty regular doner to Mozilla for many years. I stopped because Mozilla spends money on lots of stuff I don’t care about and not on the browser.

I hope this works out for them. But I’m not sure the elevator pitch for Mozilla as a charity. Why do people donate to them?
If you have the time this is 120 minute documentary THE SPIDER'S WEB reveals how Britain transformed from a colonial power into a global financial power

At the demise of empire, City of London financial interests created a web of offshore secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it behind obscure financial structures in a web of offshore islands. Today, up to half of global offshore wealth may be hidden in British offshore jurisdictions and Britain and its offshore jurisdictions are the largest global players in the world of international finance. How did this come about, and what impact does it have on the world today?
