> America decided dollars should float in the 70s, and most of the world followed.

Except that a bunch of countries in Europe went back to pegged currency with the Euro[1]. Part of the reason the 2008 crisis hit countries like Italy, Greece, and Ireland so hard.

---

1. Yes - the Euro is not technically pegged; but effectively, it's the same thing. Each individual country in the Eurozone can't engage in independent monetary policy.
If you were familiar with NIF, you would know that they absolutely will publish the details of the experiment just as they published the details of the experiment that achieved ignition in August 2021: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.12...
I came here wondering, "what? a "vaccine" for cancer?" and read the article. Am I right to interpret it as: "we gather cancer cells from a specific patient, assemble a unique identifier for those cells we don't want, and then teach the immune system to identify and attack those cells"?

I guess that indeed that is a vaccine. I always interpreted "vaccine" as "teaching your body how to kill foreign organisms by training it on what the organisms "look" like." (yes, this abstraction is certain to be way oversimplified)

And we'd likely have had more economic growth, higher employment, and better investment in US infrastructure and education.
2.05 MJ in, 3.15 MJ out.

That's amazing.
people always consume and buy things.. the situation in the USA is that there has been money printing, asset inflation, cheap products from China and cheap gas for decades.. the system is exhausted in some parts, yet money isnt being exchanged the way it used to be, at small retail, among individuals.. some intermediaries have made so much money in the last two decades that they go into "castle" mode, while people who tried to work for a living, saw their income drop, wages actually go down in many industries due to "illegal" workers and "gig work" setups .. and essential costs of living like medical, housing and some others.. costs are much higher now. This is well documented.

Since covid, whole industries in retail, food and travel have shut down almost completely.
I have been through a process that took 4 months, from start to end, with almost two months of silence between. The only reason I knew I wasn't rejected was I had a friend on the inside.
What is your reasoning for believing that fusion research will not produce a workable power plant?
Just to give another perspective: Bullying was very, very common in my school. I bullied in Grade 2*, and over the years got bullied back. Personally, I don't think your possible causes could have applied to everyone. I just think most small children don't have fully developed empathy, and are uncritical about ethics, and so will cruelly bully someone for very little reason.

This kind of in-group, out-group dynamic seems like a default for humanity. It's pretty easy to lapse into xenophobia - since that's our default. Trying to widen the circle of the "in-group" status is hard, and goes against our instincts.

* ETA: Thinking back on this period, I recall our teacher trying her best to combat the bullying of one girl in particular. She would do things like sit us down as a class and explain to us why it was cruel, with the girl in her lap, and reading stories to us about bullying. None of it worked, I literally remember sitting there, nodding along, and being frankly too dumb to connect this back to my own bullying. In hindsight, the one thing that I think would have worked is if she had publically reprimanded us everytime she had caught us in the act. I think that kind of repeated, instant feedback would finally gotten through to us.
Sorry, I didnt see it listed
Can someone ELI5 why this is significant over previous fusion experiments?
I had a very similar solution for my AoC in Toit, but I used a Deque instead of just having a trailing index into the input string.

They do that but most of the time for the opposite reason. Because their populations might get to know something forbidden and truthful.
Getting a 406 Not Acceptable.
Can you explain why you think this disputes my point?

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate minus inflation. When there is inflation, the real interest rate for holding cash is negative. When there is no inflation, that real interest rate is 0%. The disincentive to holding cash disappears and therefore more people hold cash.
Do we know what token they swapped USDC for? Why would you swap a stable coin for another token? Didn't FTX swap coins for their native currency and use the proceeds for Alameda?

Prove that thermal energy from shale oil or tar sands is higher EROI than that same solar panel using a resistor or arc furnace then.

Then add heat pumps and PV+Heliostat or PV+CSP derived hydrogen compounds to your equation and realise that adding heat and chemical stocks shipped from distant places to the equation makes it favour renewables even more as you can turn 120MJ of electricity and 40MJ of direct sunlight at Chile's 35% capacity factor into 120MJ of hydrogen or 100MJ of Ammonia you don't have to refine. With the heat pump you'd get more low grade heat even if you burnt the fossil fuel for electricity.

Wind + PV is a pure upgrade from an EROI perspective, and electrolysers and CSP are following very close behind.
> delay the purchase of groceries

This will obviously not mean skipping eating, but will manifest more as fewer "special" meals like steak or lobster or whatever.

> a fridge, a new roof

If you are a homeowner, you know that most equipment failures are a decision to either repair or replace. In a deflationary environment, owners will bias toward patching things as long as they can. (The opposite is true in an inflationary environment.)

> a new car

You may be extremely fortunate. Most people would try to make it through (say) a year of public transit/rideshare/etc. if they could save (say) 8% on a car. Average price of a new car in 2022 is ~$48k; saving 8% on that is something like half a month's pay at the average American salary, which is larger than the annual raises most people get at even good jobs, even in good times. Don't underestimate the sacrifice people will make to earn another few hundred $/mo.
Cross-language, distributed model inference framework: Serve with Java API
I would not trust those metrics you showed. Its almost impossible to get real numbers. But one fact is certain, wordpress is almost the entirety of PHP out there. Facebook tried to patch PHP twice, first with HHVM, then with Hack. Finally they gave up and announced Hack will be "its own language" because they were so fed up with the inconsistencies.

Slack is really just a chat. A glorified, slow version of IRC. I would not boast it as a marvel of engineering. If you want to se how to build a good and scalable chat system? See Whatsapp.

Dont get me wrong, PHP is still used, and will be after 10-20 years. But the fact reamins that is on a slow decline. Its never going to be as popular as it was back in the early 2000s.
I did think you wrote the original post. My mistake, I have corrected my comment.

Whether YC would want to prevent illegal or unethical behavior is a question I can't answer. I would hope so. But I don't think it's reasonable to put the burden of enforcing various employment posting laws on YC/HN, especially when the laws are new and have jurisdiction questions and exceptions. My reading of the NYC law tells me job boards are not subject to any enforcement -- only the companies posting the job ads have to comply.

I don't object to a discussion about what responsibility YC and HN have in regards to allowing job posts that don't include salary ranges. Personally I would ignore job posts that don't voluntarily include that. I objected to the OP characterizing the job posts from YC companies as "breaking hiring laws." Whether the law was broken or not would require more facts than the OP gave. Maybe the OP didn't name the companies that supposedly "broke hiring laws" out of consideration, but in the original post it seems clear OP intended to call them out in comments but couldn't comment on the posts, not that the OP decided to take the considerate path of not naming them.
Previous Fusion experiments, even though we could get Fusion reactions to occur, required more energy to start and sustain the reaction than was generated from it. For the first time, more was generated from the reaction than put in.
Your theory of the genetic transmission of legal knowledge is an interesting one. We await your research for further study.
At some point, free adults must not be prevented from taking actions that could potentially harm them (either in the short or long term). How far down that slope do we go? We worry about tobacco, when we allow megaconglomerates to fill the market full of heavily processed food? How far are we going to allow governments to tell us "you can't do this because it might/will hurt you, so we are making that decision for you".

This is also basically enshrined age discrimination, at least during the long transition period where everyone born before the threshold date is dying off.
Fuel cells store and release energy chemically (analogously to batteries), they do not generate it. So they aren't comparable to methods of electricity generation.
Because now it’s reproducible, controllable and consistently net positive in terms of energy output.

It’s not a fluke anymore and I assume the engineering behind this is now understood well enough to develop it further and scale it up.

Fusion for the most part isn’t a physics problem it’s an engineering problem the difficulty was always in how to implement it in the real world rather than in math at ideal white paper conditions.
Well, yes, bankruptcy clawbacks are another issue on top of both the criminal forfeiture discussed upthread and the campaign finance issue I raised in response.
Not to detract from the paradigm shift, it is very true... but this is also more of an 'upsell' now.

Providers generally don't want this access, but they'll accept it - and your money
The US is known for involvement in the policies of other nations and even organising coups etc. With documented access of the American government into the American tech giants, I don't have reason to believe that Instagram is any different than TikTok. What makes you think that CIA didn't infiltrate Meta or made a deal to manipulate political situation in its friends and foes? What makes you believe that they won't work with Musk to achieve their goals?

The TikTok situation is new for the USA but it's nothing new for the rest of the world.
This is the right answer. Given the extreme harm of having it illegal (police costs, property theft and damage costs from thieving to pay for it, health costs of having impure illegal adulterated sources, erosion of liberty due to authoritarian ratchet up over time to try and make illegal actually work, etc) I seriously doubt selling all the drugs under a system similar to how most places treat alcohol (maybe with the added health warnings on packaging most places apply to cigarettes) would be more harmful than status quo.
And in the darkness merge conflicts.
Of course that is what happened. It’s crypto. It’s scams and exit scams all the way down. Always was always will be.
This discussion no longer feels productive. If you’re just going to be tongue in cheek/sarcastic with me the whole time instead of having a discussion then feel free to move on.
Various legal systems have standards for the form for which documents should be submitted to them which are surprisingly nitpicky in terms of items like fonts and spacing. Of course, these standards were created when typewriters were the dominant use case, so had deference to what typewriters could actually do. Even though most of the typewriter use has fallen out of fashion, the standards remain, with the results that the documents look like they came out of a typewriter even if (as I suspect in this case) it's just been printed then faxed.
Didn't at least partially that innovation come from aquiring an American company?

See https://www.cymer.com/
You only have to look at Japan for the last few decades to see what the long term effects of deflation look like. Negative economic growth, few job opportunities for young people, investment and lending are de-incentivized so innovation and industry growth moves to other countries, while owning property becomes a liability, etc. Managed decline is about the best case scenario for a deflationary economy.
Seems like a good way to lose young voters.

How hard would it be to spin-off TikTok USA into a separate entity?

There’s nothing to “start”. Plenty of countries (including China) already ban Facebook and Twitter.

> Who's Hiring posts are not covered by this law or requirement.

I don’t think that‘s generally true.

“Any advertisement for a job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that would be performed in New York City is covered by the new law. An ‘advertisement’ is a written description of an available job, promotion, or transfer opportunity that is publicized to a pool of potential applicants. Such advertisements are covered regardless of the medium in which they are disseminated. Covered listings include postings on internal bulletin boards, internet advertisements, printed flyers distributed at job fairs, and newspaper advertisements.” [0]

> Most jobs have official job postings. It's those that need to carry the salary requirement.

What is your reasoning for this? I don’t see anything in the text of the law [1] about “official job postings.”

> If I'm telling a friend, Hey, there's an opening in my company, you wanna apply, I am not required to tell him the salary range.

This at least is correct, because that case is not “a written description [...] that is publicized to a pool of potential applicants.”

I'd guess that short-term deflation, say after a spike in inflation, would be not that bad, though price uncertainty has its own costs.

There have been lots of press releases from universities looking to capitalize on the research done under their "leadership". Never mind that research is usually financed by grants and similar methods. So many of these announcements claim to be stupendous achievements, and they very well may be, but they tend to come with no real way of achieving commercial success. It's not necessarily the fault of the researchers and they did what they set out to do. It's the marketing teams that make it sickening to the point we've all become calloused to this kind of science spam.

Does ignition fall into the same category? We'll see
Why not both? It's harder to write, agree on, and pass the regulation that you suggest.
I deleted my mostly unused accounts (one of them even dating back to 2007) when the post advocating who to vote for was published. Of course, not being a heavy user made it easy to do. There are so many different ways people use Twitter, I suspect it will persist. Digg and MySpace (and maybe LiveJournal and del.icio.us) are perfect examples of a social network dying, but Twitter is orders of magnitude bigger than those were. I think Reddit and FB got a big help from the advent of mobile as it brought boatloads of new users online. That pool of new users doesn't exist in 2022.
That kind of phrasing is boilerplate for indictments. It's used even in the most nailed-down circumstances. Here's a bit from Zacarias Moussaoui's indictment for 9/11 [0]:

> On or about September 11, 2001, Saeed al-Ghamdi, Ahmed al-Nami, Ahmed al-Haznawi, and Ziad Jarrah hijacked United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757, which had departed from Newark, New Jersey bound for San Francisco at approximately 8:00 a.m. After resistance by the passengers, Flight 93 crashed in Somerset County, Pennsylvania at approximately 10:10 a.m., killing all on board.

I mean, if they're being careful about the date of that, they'll do it for all dates. (Curiously, though, the very next paragraph in that indictment doesn't use the "on or about" qualifier.)

Or he didn't want to file for Chapter 11 because he is obsessed with being in the limelight. That would also explain why he can't shut up.
And had we continued to develop and improve upon fission we'd probably be in a better place.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm on 5.19, which is fairly recent, but I'll try upgrading to 6 to see what happens.

If you never hear from me again, know that I don't regret bricking my machine and I'm sure 2023 will be the year of Linux on the desktop.
What are they going to provide as an alternative to nicotine? People start using it for a reason
Is it malicious? Maybe... is it stupidity? Certainly.

Just inform the companies when you see it and then report them if they refuse to disclose and update the listing.

It actually tells you more about the moral compass of the company if they refuse to disclose which I would find valuable.
I had to check the date on ms-dos (1981) so I'm pretty sure I got my T1-99/4A (first computer) that same year. It's a pretty sweet machine. Still have it, just need a monitor solution to fire it up.

[I think the first time I touched ms-dos was years later because of getting a Thinkpad. My path was VMS -> OS/2 -> Mac OS (because of Java) and then *nixes.]

US Tech firms products are largely banned in China, closing off a market of 1bn+ - why should Chinese firms have unfettered access to the US?
common-lisp has functions called remove-if-not (applicative) and delete-if-not (destructive version).

The spec says that [t]he functions delete-if-not and remove-if-not are deprecated.

But all that is wrong is their double negative name. remove-if-not is precisely the same thing as keep-if, which is too useful to deprecate. Numerous languages have a function like this, sometimes called filter or similar.
On a Bermuda-rigged sloop ideally the jib and the main balance each-other out such that the amount of rudder drag introduced in order to maintain a constant course is minimized. This requires sheet, sheeting angle halyard, and potentially even a cunningham on the tack to adjust the sail shape. When you're doing a speed record, sail shape is likely gonna be decided in a meeting room, not out on the "Water".

With the speeds on this thing It's more akin to a Moth's wand adjusting the foil flap automatically. Larger foiling boats have a flight controller hand control the foil and flaps by hand.

Using human power to adjust the sail is more efficient (for the boat) than introducing more sail area and therefore more drag to trim the sail automatically.

In the case of this vehicle, the foil and adjuster thing behind the pivot point are both incredibly efficient high-aspect foils, as well as all the hardware which controls it are being engineered and rigged "pre-trimmed" for the specific wind speed planned to attempt this record.
Thanks for the suggestion. I found others mentioning this issue so I switched to both on DP and unfortunately the problem continues.
"...a game-changer for efforts to achieve President Biden’s goal of a net-zero carbon economy".

That's the best outcome you can think of as a result of possible free energy?
OK. Let's take it as read that ranges discourage the uncertain and nervous. How should companies go about posting ads that treats those people compassionately and puts them on an event footing with confident people? Preferably while not denying people who would like to see it useful information?
I’d love to hear the pros and cons of fusion vs micro molten salt fission reactors.
So that doesn't really help with the stated goal of being "brain-raped" by a larger company then.
You misses where Binance doing automatic conversion for any deposited USDC to BUSD. So every USDC deposit will counted as BUSD.

BUSD is released by Paxos.
Nope. The Verge is reporting a staged photo op. An event they learned about because they're addicted to twitter. And ran it because it involves major brands. This should tell you exactly how much respect to give The Verge as a news outlet.
Ok, I still don’t understand why you think disturbed sleep is not a factor to be looked at.
I agree. I don't think paper money is a bad idea because some countries finance their operations by printing as much as they need.

I do suspect that blockchain's killer app may not be tradeable securities, or rights, but something more mundane like Walmart's inventory reconciliation system.
This is the kind of thing which infuriates me the most about emacs. There are thousands of similar but not equivalent ways of doing the same thing, both StackOverflow and the emacs wiki contains some (but not all, and not the same, and usually not the right, and usually contradictory) ways of doing things. And it's impossible to figure out which way is the right one without asking around in IRC channels.

Why oh why couldn't they improve linenum-mode instead of introducing a new mode.
That’s great, I had the same problem but didn’t hack it like you did unfortunately. I overwrote the first 30 GB of my 6 TB HDD and am trying out GetDataBack Pro to get my files back, no luck so far. I had some tens of thousands of photos that I can’t replace.
Are salary ranges actually meaningful?

To be fair I don't reply to an offer that does not state the pay, but I've been a victim of bait and switch many times.

Notably, when going through all the interview stages and being told I have been accepted only to find out in the contract that the salary is much different from what has been offered.

They were hoping that I would agree given I have invested so much time going to interviews and so on.

The excuse? "We have gone over budget with hiring and unfortunately now that the maximum we can offer, we are very sorry."
Press release states: "meaning it produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it."

The 2.05 MJ put into the reaction includes the laser power supply then, it would seem, unless they are bad at press releases. But 2.05 MJ is not a lot of power.
