I'm old enough to remember in university economics class, the professor would joke about how financial media would closely watch press conferences that Alan Greenspan would give after FOMC meetings, down to watching the thickness of the briefcase to guess as to whether the fed funds rate (which determines interest rates) would increase or decrease.

I am happy rates have risen, and I hope they stay at a sane level more in line with historical values rather than the insane period of the past 14 years. As another commenter here points out, when rates are not-zero, business defaults back to value-creation, instead of other silly game-the-system metrics that have arisen in this time frame.

Of course it will be painful, both for a generation of younger people who have never experienced "high rates", and also for the finance "professionals" who built reputations on nothing more than gaining access to easy-money and deploying them randomly to things which only rise in value because others also pumped in easy-money down the line. It may also address some of the woke-time-wasting initiatives at companies, as anything not actually adding value will be dropped.

The main thing will be to see if the Fed actually stays the course, or if the allure of the money-printer is too seductive and they decide to drop rates back down again even after (or worse, before) inflation is tamed. If so, then the currency will continue to debase until the crypto exit is inevitable.
If you routinely run out of employees in your change of scope, you might just need to hire more people from the start.

Sure people cost money, so why hire them when you can exploit the ones you have already? The only way to stop that are unions/worker rights.
They sidetracked by taking too binary of an interpretation, sure, but your rebuttal was flat-out broken.

I don't feel the need to reply to every post I disagree with.
The report divides deaths into three types: those who died of covid, those who died with covid and excess deaths. The excess deaths are more numerous than the with covid deaths.

Weekly fluctuations in excess deaths correlates strongly with covid deaths, so people who want to pretend that the excess deaths are due to something other than covid (ie, vaccinations or lockdown measures) are barking up the wrong tree.

Show HN: Get notified when a Twitter handle becomes available
This is something I started building a while back and finally launched yesterday after seeing Elon’s tweet about freeing up Twitter handles.

It works for Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and Snapchat.

It did have Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok but they recently introduced more restrictions for automated checks.
I havn't heard of any products or services that test the actual CI pipelines themselves, which seems like an interesting target market. I can't say how many times I have wanted to test out some CI workflow on some throw-away clone repo without mucking up the live repo.

It's good to know that you can use includes with Gitlab, And, from my quick glance at that second link, the setup process seems a bit involved. I don't like having to set up new user accounts just so that I can run a CI workflow locally.

> which clearly is not true

Is it clear? Given the incredibly high turnover rate at any point of time in the games industry it does not sound like the worst assumption to make, true or not.

(And having worked in the industry myself not that long ago, none of my friends and colleagues from that time still work in it. But that is just anecdotal)
Anytime you’re talking about a large population, outliers are going to be found pretty often. Even if only 5% or the homes in Germany are like the parent/sibling post, that’s still 2.1M homes (Google said Germany has 42.5M homes, so that’s what I used).

So, even if the average home could be switched over easily (which, I still think is wrong), that’s still would leave a lot of people without many good, financially feasible, options.
My whole house is full of warm Hue bulbs. The handful of Hue lights that are color temperature-adjustable are all set to warm because blue-tinted lights drive me nuts. That said, I use Wirecutter's budget SAD lamp pick set to the bluest setting and maximum brightness for about 20 minutes per day to help me cope with this particularly gloomy Seattle season, and it definitely seems to help. So you may not need to rewire your entire house.

Low interest rates are supposed to make it easier to build new housing but instead zoning keeps getting more restrictive. People complain about Chinese investors buying up houses when they should be glad that they can use this money to build homes.

Local residents might think property values going up benefits the city but in practice wealthier individuals will be able to afford more houses and all of those increased property values exit the community when "mortals" move in and buy the house. The 700k paid on a house does not go to the community, it goes to some absentee owner/landlord in San Francisco or New York or some other major city.

I think this may be a valid point, and cleaning up could be seen as a separate concern.

The frustrating part is ALWAYS needing to clean up before making any contribution.

So following the advice, you always need two PRs.
Yes. If you played enough as a human then you can't play a completely anonymous/pseudonymous game. Just like if you have written 10 bestsellers you probably can't write even a short pseudonymous newspaper column without someone recognizing your style. They can't be sure from that little information, so you aren't completely exposed - but if you keep writing a series of columns they'll be more and more sure.

The same thing with chess. Play chess under your real name (or write texts or
draw illustrations whatever) and you'll never do so anonymously again. I'm not sure what's so upsetting or revolutionary here.

But everyone knows they can get a better deal than Carvana/Carmax/etc. - they're selling to Carvana because it's convenient.

In theory, Akerlof's lemon theory could lead to a situation in which Carvana has to underpay to account for all the lemons they're buying to the point that sellers aren't willing to take the hit. In practice, I think this just isn't a big deal - they aren't buying enough lemons to move their offer prices much, and the convenience factor is worth quite a lot of money to sellers. If this was truly a major issue I think we'd see it with CarMax who are wildly successful.
I’m not sure the niggles here are platform things - they’re hard lessons that come from experience in using CI for the most part.

Generally you want to aim for writing things in scripts that your CI system calls, so that they can be run locally trivially and so that migrating away from one CI provider (for whatever reason - cost, employer decides to shift, etc.) is not a huge piece of work.

Based on what I’ve seen, ChatGPT has some disastrous responses. I asked it yesterday if it made sense to speak of partial derivatives in single-variable calculus and it made an absolute carnage of the response. I could not steer it with prompts towards something intelligible - it only produced jank.

I do not want people who cannot answer a question in the first place to copy-paste ChatGPT responses, just like it has always been bad etiquette to refer people to Google without further commentary.

I think that even if you stick with a purely economic analysis, looking at the print market size might not be at all right? There's so much money in secondary goods (well, for the publishers). People have mentioned movies of course, but just general merchandising is a huge win (see Star Wars as a good US example of "the primary material isn't the point")

Having said that I don't know anything about the Korean market on this front, and I can totally see a legitimate decline from Japanese publishing just like in many other media spaces over the past couple of decades.
Arch Linux in November 2022
Not if a simple test requires rewriting hundreds of tests (aka "fragile tests").

Yes, one shouldn't be writing fragile tests, but usually from what I seen at projects with great test coverage, is that it often slows bugfix releases, and especially any bigger changes, as it's very wearisome to also change hundreds of tests.

So I believe there should be some balance between tests/code ratio, as well as attention paid to tests brittleness.
If only there was a way to run all the tests of all the software that depend on your change...

This tech requires a significantly wider propeller assembly - quite the opposite direction that consumer tech is going in for all but the most powerful machines. I suppose that gamers might accept a significantly larger case for quieter cooling, but for general purpose computing I think that larger, fanless heatsinks and smaller, more efficient CPUs are the answer.
The article says he moved from drones to boats. I wonder why. I’m very interested in drone propellers that could be quieter.
There's a theory that "eeny meeny" just means "one two" in some original language when humanity spread, and it was conserved in children rhymes, that get transmitted mostly unchanged from generation to generation.

Your Russian version is very interesting, because I also see similarities between "kvinter/finter" and latin "qinque", greek "penta" (both mean "five"), and "zhaba" may relate to Latin "sex", English "six" and so on. So the Russian version may remember even more original number words. The German version "ene mene muh" is sadly degraded compared to the others.
> there absolutely were Jewish people working with the Gestapo

Name one Jew on a senior leadership (~Gauleiter level) position in Nazi Germany. There were certainly tons of Ukrainians occupying positions on all levels of power in USSR. Hell, Ukrainian nationals held top position in the USSR far longer than Russians did. Imagine Nazi Germany headed by a Jew?

As for Wikipedia article, at this age the question is very political and Wikipedia reflects that. Some Ukraians want the first place in this victimhood olympics, and the current political situation favours them in the current political landscape, so they can bend history interpretation to their interests. But you know what, if we use very specific words like "fascism" or "genocide" to name different things we don't like, these words will eventually lose their meaning and become generic insults.

Was Holodomor a tragedy? Sure. Was it a genocide - a targeted systemic effort to kill people of one specific nation - not even close.

Btw, I too could take part in this victimhood olympics if I wanted: my grandparents have fled the Voronezh area (near the Volga river) in 1947 because of extreme famine [0] that killed a lot of people. Note the wording in English version:

"Regions that were especially affected included the Ukrainian SSR with 300,000 dead, and the Moldavian SSR with 100,000 dead. Other parts of the Soviet Union such as the Russian SFSR and the Byelorussian SSR were also affected with 500,000 deaths." - so "especially affected" areas lost fewer people than Russian SFSR which was "also" affected. Unfortunately, these tragedies that were a result of a Soviet rule are viewed through nationalistic lens today, and are being used in propaganda pieces.

> Just as I don’t need research either to know that dark mode inherently increases eye strain thanks to the afterimages caused by using it for more than a couple dozen seconds at a time.

You've probably got your brightness too high if you're getting after images.

I use darkmode when I'm inside and turn my monitor brightness down. When I'm outside, I switch to lightmode and max out my monitor display. Work for me.

I suspect this is an extremely difficult question to answer until we have a perfect model of humans. Maybe there is some gene/mutation that affects something to do with brightness/darkness. Maybe there is some adaptation that happens after staring at at dark/light mode.

Unfortunately we are extremely far from having good models of the human body :(.
Just yesterday I commented something about the disconnect between huge parts of the population (or at the very least those on social media and the internet) and just how the basic, underlying things in our society work. Seems this submission is just another, great example for this.

The recipe is always the same: lack of basic understanding of things (economics, law, finance, supply chains, medicine, science,...), a certain level of eloquence, full certainty to be able to work out everything based on first principle, no curiosity or intention to do some basic research into topics and a huge drive to look smart / proof to the world how smart you are. Easy to spot so, for example by sentences you pointed out.
I'd bet on Binance just delaying the inevitable collapse, rather than trying to fix the underlying issues. Judging from the FTX balance sheet, they gambled all of their money on shitcoins and random projects without any sense of logic. No amount of fixing would have helped, other than an magical perpetual bull market. Odds are Binance is also fundamentally screwed.

I agree. People underestimate the scientific abilities and flexibility of a highly trained technician, particularly on solid planets and moons.

A human living on Mars could operate multiple geographic exploration rovers at much higher speeds than currently (existing rovers get 0.1mph max). This is the benefit of having a 60ms ping time instead of 6-20 minutes. Plus the ability to troubleshoot, clean off solar panels, run slightly different analyses without needing to build it into the probe 8 years ago, assemble sensor stations, etc.

Yes the mass budgets for manned missions are titanic. But with even half-way good mission planning we can get more science done than the equivalent mass of robots - at least for Mars and the Moon. Food and life support mass for long trips to the outer planets (or shielding for Mercury) mean robots will win there.

The WSJ article I cited says embezzlement is a certainty. Since I cited it 3 comments ago, I have to presume you aren't even acting in good faith.

There's US government sources saying theft is a certainty, and you with an opinion that it isn't.

>and had nothing to do with embezzlement or theft

He never said that actually, and US government sources say equipment is lost due to theft, which explains the massive equipment losses.
The fact that the nature of the story teller mattering more than the nature of the story is a bias. One of the more compelling robot-takeover scenarios is they turn out to be much better at making decisions because a machine can be programmed to weight strong evidence more strongly than an emotionally compelling story.

It is visible even in this thread. im3w1l cares about the teller of the story because that is the medium to relate to another human's experience. Which is fine, but that is probably part of the decision making process. And that is a terrible way to make decisions when good alternatives (like poverty statistics, crime statistics, measures of economic success, measures of health & wellbeing) exist.

A fake story out of a chatbot which leads to people making good decisions is more valuable than the typical punter's well-told life experiences. People wouldn't like that though.
> Viewers may also be in environments with low ambient light, where staring into a white light is painful.

I find that turning my phone/laptop/monitor brightness down as needed solves that problem. Conversely, however, I often find myself trying to turn my phone brightness up when it is already at maximum, and sadly I still can't see the content (because the ambient light is too strong).

There is a reason Google Maps switches between light and dark mode based on ambient light sensor. I challenge anyone to use maps in dark mode on a sunny day; there is no device bright enough to make dark mode content visible outside. It would also be absurd to burn so much energy trying to make thin colored lines and text be as bright as the opposite - dark lines on light background.

> Most popular dark themes are low-contrast for some reason, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Probably because viewing the highest contrast dark mode color schemes is more painful than switching to light mode and dimming the monitor.
It is kind of interesting how this was the core observation of Keynes. It isn't capital that dominates the markets it is money.

According to classical economics people either spend or save, there can be no such thing as indecisiveness or paralysis. What this means is that a too low interest rate would immediately cause inflation and therefore result in a higher nominal interest rate because the rate of capital formation is too slow.

In practice we haven't observed any capital shortages that weren't the result of a one off event. The interest rate appears to be the only barrier and the return on capital followed it in countries excluding the USA.
