BlackRock is an investment management firm that sells index funds. They want a bullish market but with just enough uncertainty and doubt that investors pick their index funds instead of hand picking stocks.

Governments and central banks have other incentives than BlackRock. For governments temporary recession is better than a state of long-term high inflation.
> Google said it planned to maintain Waze as a stand-alone service and didn’t plan to conduct any layoffs as part of the reorganization.

Counterpoint - why would Google announce layoffs to the WSJ before it even happened? It’s possible that it’s in the works…
It depends, in my mind, on why someone is unvaccinated. Why matters.

And while "why" is not always easy to figure out, if someone calls me a "sheep" for getting a vaccine or argues with a minimum-wage worker about a mask policy, I will associate their "why" with "ignorance". If they conspicuously fake a cough near others, I downgrade their "why" to "malice" and feel quite justified in discriminating against them.
Quite likely. Google WiFi notoriously had problems with Apple devices which they never bothered to fix. Switching to Eero completely resolved the random ~45 second hangs we'd see a few times a day.
When I did it, because they fucked up, I had to pay to retest as well which cost an additional $8. I was referencing my own personal experience and that it cost more in actuality.
> If it would tell you "Hey, I designed a notation, which works better for $REASON. Can you give me feedback?", then this would be something notable.

I actually did do that, without me prompting it!

For reference, the notation is, 'A4(quarter)', etc

This is an interesting notation system you have created! It looks like it is based on
traditional musical notation, but with a few differences. In traditional musical notation,
notes are written on a staff, with the pitch of the note indicated by its placement on the
staff and its duration indicated by the type of note symbol used (whole note, quarter note,
etc.). Your A-Script notation appears to use the pitch of the note as the main identifier,
with the duration indicated in parentheses after the pitch.
One potential benefit of this notation system is that it makes it easier to identify the pitch
of a note without having to refer to the staff. This could be useful in situations where the
staff is not visible, or when the pitch of the note is the most important information.
One potential drawback of this notation system is that it does not provide as much
information about the rhythm of the music. In traditional notation, the placement of the
notes on the staff and the use of different note symbols provide important information
about the rhythm of the music. This information is not included in your A-Script notation.
Overall, your A-Script notation is a creative and interesting way to represent music. It
could potentially be useful in certain situations, but it may not provide as much
information as traditional notation.
As far as I can tell, they're way off the mark. This thread [1] estimates WoW at around $1b in revenue.

Also fyi, WoW was originally released in 2004, not 1994.

There is no significant difference between managed languages and something like zig in this category of programs, it is not a video codec, so I stand by my “no performance sensitive” claim. And especially because algorithms matters much much more, there is a good chance that a faster one can be implemented when you don’t have to care about whether that memory location is still alive or not.

Who argued otherwise? On the topic of F-Droid in particular not being available for iOS, there _is_ a reason behind it.
Game Pass has it's downsides.

Games have been massively devalued by Game Pass, PS Plus, indie bundles, and Steam sales. Plenty of bargains for the consumer, but it's not good news for the majority of developers.

If developers can't make money from selling games outright, well, look at the mobile game market...

"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." I haven't seen any "low-code" tool with technology and ideas noticeably beyond what such tools tried in the 90's. If there were some kind of breakthrough that gave such tools something earlier tries didn't have, then maybe it would be time to take a new look. But until then, I'll remain skeptical.

I mean...this generalizes to a huge problem with our country's corporate culture over the last several decades.

While there have always been people primarily motivated by profit, it at least feels like, in previous times, there was always the sense that the purpose of a business was to provide a product or service, and the profit was their reward for doing that well.

More recently, it feels much more like the purpose of a business is to make as much money as humanly possible, and whatever product or service they provide is just a necessary evil to make that happen.

Personally, I believe this can, as you suggest, be laid at the feet of Wall Street, and the insatiable drive for more profit, more growth, faster growth, more more more. How we get rid of it...is a harder problem.
Cortana has an API that can be addressed by any application, it just sucks.
You are forgetting the time for developers to adopt it, DX8- games were still released up to at least 2006.

And no, you cannot fully emulate all of these early 3D games, some of them will still crawl in software.

Finally, how do you port a game you do not have the source code for ?

That office space is sunk cost for those companies, or isn’t it? What would “making use of” that space actually accomplish?
This livestream is the best caricature of American culture I've seen, thank you.

It is the unveiling of a bomber, with the national anthem sung by an employee of the company who built it, as in a proper performance, while more bombers fly ahead so loudly he has to stop. Then it proceeds to have the CEO read an engineered speech from a teleprompter, completely devoid of her own existence. Followed by a hollywood action movie style reveal, with the attendees going wild, clapping and shouting for the new, shiny bomber. It is a gift that keeps on giving.

It is said that the infrastructure required to sustain suburbs costs more money than these suburbs bring in. In the US a city gets federal money to build new suburbs, but when it comes to renewing them after a few decades, the city has to pay on its own and it often has not enough money to do it.

I left the south and never looked back, too. (Not gay, but I am non-conformist, which didn't play well in an evangelical town with more cows than people.)

In talking to people who got out vs. some who didn't, there seem to be three main, interrelated things that hold people local: money, class and fear.

- Obviously money makes moving to the Big City much easier, and more of it is always better. But below some point, it becomes incredibly hard to make work - if your parents are in the bottom half of the income gradient, first, last + deposit on a San Francisco apartment and a couple $k on moving and move-in is a huge expense.

- Class matters a lot, in that it colors how distant, urban places are perceived. Some members of my family have an almost cartoonishly apocalyptic fantasy vision about what cities are like, and the fact that nobody's sucked the marrow from my bones in 30 years of urban living will never change that.

It also effects the likelihood of knowing people who did move away. If nobody you personally know has done it, it really does become much harder to do for multiple reasons, both psychological and concrete.

- Finally, fear of "not making it", of something Bad happening, and of making a costly choice that you regret, of having to "slink back home" for whatever reason really weigh on people. Of course if you don't know anyone who's ever lived in a major metro, and if the cost of trying is big enough, that fear can massively amplify.

I moved to SF almost 30 years ago. It was a leap of faith - I landed with enough money for food for about two weeks and slept on a friend's floor for a few months while I worked shit jobs to get established. That path is harder now - I wouldn't now be able to get an apartment here now washing dishes and serving drinks. So if anything, I suspect the above is more salient now than it was a generation ago.

I disagree that you can “just watch” MOBAs. I don’t play any MOBAs, but I will occasionally watch them. If I don’t have a commentator guiding me along to tell me what is happening (to some degree) then it makes no sense to me.
Maybe I am misunderstanding but I think they are ending commercial support for self-hosted and the source is still available and you can run it if you want to?
I think it boils down to how bloated is the C code generated by the C backend, which to some degree has to be, since it's generated programmatically.

My undestanding is what ends up happening is that the wasm step acts as a form of semantic compression that brings its own benefits over zstd (and which can still be combined with zstd by compressing the wasm file).
So everyone on HN feels like the unvaccinated are part of an oppressed caste? I really don't understand the comments I am reading here. There are large groups of people who are unvaccinated by choice, not because of genuine health concerns. A friend of mine is unable to get vaccinated due to serious health concerns, and she is furious that do many people refuse to get it, as it continues to prevent her from living a normal life.
> only under very specific circumstances you would be infringing copyright laws

It's the reverse of this. Any work public or not by default is all rights reserved to the owner. The fair use doctrine provides an exception from this if you meet specific criteria.

An extreme example, you cannot just upload a complete movie and just add "credit to disney".

> you wouldn't be infringing copyright either, you would just be breaking privacy laws/terms.

Maybe we're from different countries, but with US law it would be either under theft, the computer fraud/abuse act and/or copyright violations, there are no privacy laws applicable here unless we're talking about PII.

Extracting very specific examples from an article or blog is almost certainly going to fall under fair use. However I've seen several cases where it essentially just returns an entire article as the answer which would certainly be legally ambiguous.

I moved away from my Midwest hometown in my early twenties, lived in Seattle for nearly a decade, then got fed up with the path the city was on and moved back. I feel like moving away is valuable, and teaches you to appreciate the things you took for granted living somewhere during your childhood. Now that I’m back, I get to help fundamentally transform the city into a new tech hub, reviving from the state of decay produced by an industry that mostly abandoned it. This has been extremely fulfilling in a way that living in an already established big city cannot — the skyline is yours to help manifest.
>Using low-code and no-code platforms is supposed to provide relief to overworked development shops, right?

No, you got it wrong, zdnet. No-code is for people who don't do software development. It's for finance analysts, marketing managers, and similar non-technical professions.

Also, no-code isn't something new. Non-technical people have been using a no-code tool for decades. It's called Excel. Now they just have more options.
Why would this be expected to improve sample quality? You want a random sample, not a non-random piece of a non-random subset. Non-random sampling just introduces more confounders and makes your sample quality worse.
Zig doesn't offer garbage collection. And also no Rust's complex memory tracking. So it's doesn't really free you from memory-related bugs, just like good-old C. But it's a "better C" IMHO.
Because you should talk to an ipv6 person and say the word "NAT". They froth at the mouth.

It IS a success, but it's a success that is singularly enabled by the #1 thing that ipv6 people hate with a passion: a NAT. The evil NAT that has kept IPV4 address space alive, that was the crutch that kept ipv6 from being adopted earlier. The evil NAT isn't a firewall, the evil NAT can be replaced by string-of-acronyms.

And, it's a success which paves the way for practically any protocol to replace ipv6 as the real successor, like the casually thrown out ipv4.4++v2, which is getting dismissed right and left by the ipv6 people here. Or god forbid a better protocol. Please give me ipv8.

Not that I was in the room, but it's apparent that the mobile success is due to the fact the cartel of phone makers and spectrum owners/mobile carriers got in a room and adopted ipv6 head to toe.

I would like to know if the FCC had a role here, or it's just that the mobile carrier industry is used to adopting new standards so this wasn't a big deal, or it was the OEMs that enforced/enabled it.

For the rest of ipv4-land, where is this cooperation/regulation/coordination for migrating?

My comcast modems do not support ipv6 last I tried, but that was three years ago. Maybe the magic wand has been waved finally. But I look at this thread and think: Eh, nope.
Well that's untrue.

The rules of both BTC and ETH are enforced by miners. At the moment ETH miners are generally amenable to changes by the core dev team. But there is no reason why future BTC miners could not do the same.

In particular, some of the same groups mine both BTC and ETH so it is clear they are amenable to changes.

Secondly, it's unclear why your presumption that change is bad is correct. The change to proof-of-stake for ETH is clearly a good thing environmentally for example.

I plugged that first question into another of these kinds of products (called Elicit), and I think it did a much better job:

It found relevant sources and had decent summaries of each.

(edit: I just noticed it also has a summary of the whole question on the left too. Maybe someone who knows the econ side of it can attest to whether it's correct:

> SUMMARY OF TOP 4 PAPERS

> These papers suggest that lower commodity prices are associated with increased civil conflict. Demuynck 2008 found that a drop in prices of tropical agricultural commodities increases the attractiveness of other ‘economic’ activities such as rebellion/warfare and can, therefore, trigger civil conflict. Morgan 2014 found that commodity price volatility causes a commitment problem that should increase the probability of armed conflict. Ciccone 2018 found that international commodity price downturns sparked civil wars in Sub-Saharan Africa. Dube 2013 found that a sharp fall in coffee prices during the 1990s lowered wages and increased violence differentially in municipalities cultivating more coffee.

>I don't think many would have argued that someone with a legitimate medical reason to not get vaccinated should be excluded from anything.

That was not my experience at all. New York, notably had no medical exceptions for entering businesses, at least for a while. I live in another major city and had to take steps to figure out how the heck I was going to get food if the same policy came into place.
There’s a deeper level here. Conforming economic, security, n judicial blocks to geography more strongly maps onto the governance structure for the US. In other words, this is a system that inherently creates and maintains divisions.
If the property will appreciate in value and they uniquely know about that then: rent out the property to someone else and make even more to spend on malaria bed nets, and have the conference in the cinderblock building or Nissen huts elsewhere.

> Being forced to go into my personal medical history to justify my choices was a weird experience.

Try having a non-visible disability. It's a pretty common thing, actually. It even kinda falls in the same category - one of the workplace duties is to be vaccinated, and you have extenuating circumstances which require an affordance since you can't meet that duty.

School teachers, for a very long time, were required to be vaccinated against TB. There's a long history of requiring vaccinations if you work or are exposed to other vulnerable folks.
On interactive brokers you can modify trading permissions to trade fixed income products. I assume other brokers have similar settings.
The 12k words can be written for many reasons. Publishing something as a final act of closure following a years-long emotional journey is certainly something I could understand and respect.

You claim that the author is being passive aggressive, but this is where I disagree the most. The author made no excuses or attempts to hide the mistakes he made. He also fully owns up to how he long he was obsessed with the monetary success of Minecraft, and how his jealousy had impacted him. You didn't have to infer or deduce these facts from the author - he laid them out clearly in the open and talked about how his anger has been misdirected the entire time.

I agree that your "abbreviated post" is a good concise summary of author's article, yet I object strongly that the details and stories he provided harmed the delivery; it very much amplified it. I think many people think of closure as some Buddhist monk shit where you transcend all human emotions. No, closures are about mustering enough security to air out your dirty laundry and accepting that it's going to look stupid / insane to most people.

As someone who was a toddler when those "screenshots" were live, teletext is one of my favorite sources of information. Mostly because very few people read it, therefore the news are straight to the point with comparatively low political bullshit.

> Imagine if you and similar, "driven" folk stayed and made where you're from better.

If I had stayed in my hometown I wouldn't have had the resources to even think about doing those things. The town is in the poor half of a county in a poor state. The best most can hope for out there are part time jobs at grocery stores and fast food restaurants, both paying almost nothing.

I probably could've gotten hired on as a county public school tech which pays decently for the area, but it still would've taken decades to bootstrap the kind of resources required to start a business, because I'd be starting out with almost nothing.

I’m vaxed by the way and yes I’m aware of the problems but you are not addressing what I said at all. The unvaxed person was or vaxed person spread and is spreading the virus at the same rate. The irrationality of treating unvaxed people now differently from vaxed persons is absurd.

I’m more worried about the serious mental health issues people obsessed with the virus are having. I keep seeing people on the street with n95 mask walking alone.
Pick any moderate sized city in Europe! There's no reason Americans have to choose between glass and concrete imposing megastructures a la (parts of) NYC or sprawling car-dependent and socially atomized burbs a la Houston/Phoenix etc.

We can have moderately dense, highly walkable, transit-connected, safe, clean, private, quiet, socially vibrant, affordable towns and suburbs all over the country.

We just choose not to in large part because many Americans, brainwashed by The Automobile, can't even imagine such a state of affairs.

What do you mean by memory safe? This line is trotted out all the time but no one defines what they actually mean. Is Go memory safe? Rust is not a "memory safe" panacea. You can write memory unsafe code in Rust.

Zig also has a much better developer experience around "memory safety" compared to C/C++. It really is an interesting alternative to writing something in C. You can compile it in debug mode and get out of bounds checks, for example.
Also, if these companies are selling entertainment, they may have a “gaming monopoly” (which they don’t) these companies need to compete with the ability to get eyeballs from companies like Disney. It seems very myopic to just imagine video gaming is its own little island here unaffected by other entertainment companies.
