If you are living paycheck-to-paycheck making around 100K it's not inflation's fault: it's lifestyle creep.
Yeah, and I feel many people just needed to "try" it to realize "this ain't so bad, sheep" and then they stick with it.

When a second wage earner loses a job you get into a panic because the bills are still coming and you're used to running at a certain spend rate - but when you've been not working for 2+ years now you're going to have acclimatized to one income, and the desire to return may be there, but the fear driven need won't be. And that means you can wait and choose a good offer for you.

I've been interested in using Cloudflare Workers as the backend for an application. I don't care about caching or anything like that, but, can I serve exclusively non-html content from my Cloudflare Workers? Or is that a violation of their ToS?

I would have never honestly considered serving _html_ from a Worker. I hope we can get an extremely clear statement from Cloudflare on what their policy is.

Just something to note: This concern doesn't apply to companies that pay a lot of money and have a tam or "customer success *" person assigned to them who they can call and get things done. All the lockedout complaints are from individuals or small or medium-small (<2k) size companies. I only say this because while I don't have a single google device and haven't used a google account in years personally, I have no problem using gcp stuff for work where we have federated login plus multiple contracts with them.

When you have a contract with them, you can sue them for downtime/costs resulting from faulty lockouts. Even if they expressly made you sign that you can't, you can still have merit and your day in court with a good legal team and they know it.
Fair take - my original comment deflects blame of Amazon which isn't appropriate. It is responsible - however it isn't wholly responsible for all the scamming nature on it's platform.

Maybe the VC playbook obsession about growth>profit>quality that they sold to wall st in the 2010s has a fair bit to drive the internal engine at Amazon.
Fully agree with ya there, but is it _immoral_? I would say no
No, what happens is wage pressure translates into higher input costs and higher prices thus fueling inflation.

And that hurts low wage workers because any wage increase gets eaten up by inflation and cycle continues.

If we were in a low inflation environment then the fed wouldnt be concerned about low unemployment and rising wages at all.

Ah yes, this is a good one! I did not account for this. Mental model updated.

Your other points are good too. I considered some of them as well, but maybe not enough in the context of competition making many things just a bit slower. Makes sense.

Before reading this headline I was sure that the market was down specifically because of those underwhelming tech earnings. Futures were down when I checked in last night and before the jobs report news broke. I think the claim that the jobs report is influencing anything is unproven at best, willfully misleading at worst.
Related unhelpful behavior of Google's auth system:

Dropping you from an online meeting, mid-meeting, and demanding you log in again right now. Perhaps because it had been X days since you last logged in or whatever.

I don't recall experiencing it recently, but it happened a LOT in 2020 and 2021.
I'm not good at legalese or political science, but here's my take:

=> The French Fifth Republic is a presidential regime, not a parliamentary regime. The consequence is that it is the government that submits legislative proposals to parliament, which can accept or reject the law. However, parliament can modify proposals or even introduce new laws.

=> In a parliamentary system, only the parliament makes the laws and the government must implement them and the implementation is checked by the parliament. It was the regime that preceded the one instituted by De Gaulle's coup in 1958.

In France, there are several provisions in the constitution to allow the government to bypass parliament.

- Article 49.3 authorizes the government to submit a law to parliament and implement it without any vote.

- Article 47.1 authorizes the government to implement a law without even presenting it to parliament.

- Various emergency cases allow the government to implement any law it wants for a limited amount of time, without presenting it to parliament, on condition that the parliament has authorized it to do so. Normally it's for a limited amount of time, but we seen for Covid that exiting the emergency case is sometimes not as natural as it should be.

- The government always has the last word, it can choose not to apply a law that it does not like. ("no implementing decree"). Thus a third of the laws promulgated each year are not implemented.

Presidential regimes are generally those chosen by dictatorships. Yet and although the fifth republic was the result of a military coup by De Gaulle in 1958, over the past two decades I have the impression that the situation of freedoms is increasingly threatened in France.

"Lord of the Flies" was inspired by the British 'public' schools system (so called because prior to its creation, the children of British aristocrats were taught by private tutors). It sounds like a real horrorshow:

> "Since these schools taught gentlemen not meant to sully their hands with work (perish the thought!), they never learned more practical subjects such as bookkeeping or land management. Those subjects consigned to schools that educated sons of men in trade."

> "Disciplinary measures were expected to be harsh, not only as a way to maintain order but to toughen up the boys so they could perfect that famous English stiff upper lip. Punishments were brutal, often resulting in blood being drawn during caning, belting, birching, and whipping."

> "Evenings and nights, the boys were left to fend for themselves often under the rule of an older boy put in charge. The boys formed a hierarchy that made the reign of terror look tame, as older boys preyed upon younger boys."

https://donnahatch.com/education-and-other-forms-of-child-to...

Apparently these public schools (Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Westminster, Rugby, Charterhouse and Shrewsbury) were intentionally designed to turn out sociopathic narcissists with a penchant for violence and cruelty - who were the kind of people that the system's architects thought were needed to run the British Empire.
That's happening in spite of BLM being endlessly supported. Doesn't negate the fact that BLM is supported by "literally every news outlet [save Fox News], major tech company, big 5 sports league, F1000, university, and at least half of the political class" AND the US government [0].

Oh for sure, assuming they got a fixed rate. Inflation that starts AFTER the loan was written/that wasn’t priced in to the loan helps the debtor. The lender, not so much.

So mortgages written today need to include the lenders best guess about future inflation, or they’ll expect to go bankrupt in the future. Which is generally a bad business practice.

They also have to give competitive rates, or someone else will end up writing that loan, and they’ll be out of business due to lack of customers.

As the future is unpredictable, that is of course a risky business unless they’re a special entity like the Fed that can do whatever it wants.

"Two State Farm employees told WWL-TV that the restrictions apply in Georgia, Louisiana, Oregon, Washington, and Pennsylvania. The restrictions do not apply to current policyholders, only to drivers who are looking for new policies."

Looks like it's not just Louisiana. I wonder if they'll be extending this to other states, or if other insurers will be following suit? I haven't been following this issue, but I feel like Kia and Hyundai should be doing some sort of recall to fix the problem instead of allowing their customers to suffer, it can't be good for PR.

I doubt it. In as much as they are allowed to function, markets will reward people addressing the shortages with outsized profit.

Same as getting through the energy crisis, we can overcome the food crisis, one obstacle at a time.

The greatest risk are policies forbidding "price gouging" going haywire and actually forbidding disaster response.
In many ways LLMs are more in support of the Philosophical Investigations era understanding of language and less in support of the logical positivist understanding of language put forth my Frege...

Like, the Frege approach is like the symbolic AI approach... define the rules, derive the meaning from the rules.

The PI approach is like the LLM approach... derive the rules and meaning from "experiencing" the use of the language.

Eg, we don't need to define what a "game" is. We know when something is a game or not even if we can't come up with an explicit set of rules for defining all instances of what we would otherwise "feel" was a game.

> For instance, yes, a house is often a middle class family's biggest asset. But, there's no way to directly tap into that asset without selling or taking out some kind of loan against it (second mortgage, HELOC, even a reverse mortgage if they're old enough). All of those things have, let's say, significant costs and disadvantages.

You're missing the biggest advantage: They bought the house with a fixed mortgage payment (assuming US and 30-year mortgages).

Their monthly housing payments stays the same in absolute dollar numbers, but it's constantly going down in inflation-adjusted numbers.

Meanwhile rents are going up for everyone who rents.

It's not hard to get a HELOC if necessary for expenses, but the real benefit is in forced retirement savings into house equity.

> given that just over 50% can't cover a $1000 emergency expense from savings[1],

Nope, this is clickbait financial pseudo-journalism.

The headline is a lie. Scroll down and look at the chart and the questions they asked. They did a telephone survey (which has massive selection bias. Would you answer an unknown number and spend time taking a survey? Or would you be busy doing your job and living your life?) and asked people how they would pay an emergency $1000 bill. They didn't ask if they could pay from savings, they asked how they would pay the bill. If the person responded, for example, that they'd "pay the bill and cut other expenses" then they were counted as being unable to handle the emergency expense.

Ignore the clickbait finance headlines. They're deliberately misleading and designed to make you think the economy is on fire and everyone's drowning.

Read the fine print on these surveys. The questions are also deliberately slanted, and the survey respondents are always biased toward specific groups (e.g. people who are bored enough to answer random phone numbers and take a phone survey from a stranger). These are not representative of the U.S. population as whole. Do you know anyone who would answer random phone numbers and take a phone survey, for example?
That's not feasible for the millions of devices that don't have the resources for deploying GraalVM or GraalVM compiled native images.

The other thing to consider is that in many applications, nearly every single bit of i/o will flow through a buffer and cryptographic function to encrypt/decrypt/validate it. This is the place where squeezing out every ounce of performance is critical. A JIT + GC might cost a lot more money than memory safety bugs + AOT optimized compilation.

Khan Academy Kids strikes a good balance between activities and videos. He enjoys and uses both, and all the content is intentionally teaching something.

> The interest rate hikes have dramatically decreased wealth inequality

Citation please.

> tempered inflation without affecting unemployment

If they've tempered inflation, then why did the Fed just raise them again, and suggest they might be raised even more?

> people think that it means that it's their goal to decrease employment

No, the Fed has explicitly said that their goal is to reduce wage growth. They're happy to have people employed, as long as the workers don't ask for higher wages.

You're painting a false dichotomy: employed or unemployed. But how much you make while employed is crucial.

We live in a capitalist society: workers produce wealth and capitalists control wealth. The day AI allow capitalists to produce wealth without workers is the day workers become useless. Of course one could imagine that AI allows to replace capitalism by something else, but for the moment that's not the way society is going too (more the reverse)
I see your point, and acknowledge my oversight, but I still stand by what I wrote. One downward trajectory point in profits should not prompt a mass layoff. People uproot their lives to come work somewhere. It's not just about money, but I guess nobody wants to admit that companies are made up of humans.
It still has the exact same issues. I asked it to tell me about “Microsoft layoffs before 2022” and it confidently stated that Microsoft had no layoffs before 2022, with one of its sources even talking about the previous layoffs in 2009.

I'd venture to guess many of us in HN have extensive experience in food service.
Why is this a surprise, Q4 of 2022 was the largest group of Boomers retiring and if you look at the demo graphics we're not going to have a labor surplus till 2040. The working world needs to kick back and enjoy because instead of the Boomers and their massive workforce driving down wages there's going to be a demand for workers and wages will have to go up, there aren't any other choices. Lastly, if you look at the open jobs 5MM of the are in food service and retail, two categories that were traditionally filled by the young and the uneducated and that demo is dwindling so don't be surprised if that number just gets bigger. Immigration could help us but Congress can govern so we can't count on it.
Industries tend to coalesce into a few centralized locations. New York and LA are known for fashion. Detroit, TN, and TX are known for automobile manufacturering. LA and Nashville are known for music. Tech isn’t any different.

Not just Google. Recently I tried to web login to my PayPal account. PayPal decided it was a risky attempt for some reason and asked me to provide a phone number for verification. So I gave it the one associated with my PayPal account for years, and it refused! Presumably because the number was a virtual one, which I used for all account registration stuff in case of switching carrier or out of cell coverage.

I was locked out of my account for several days due to the phone requirement until it clicked for me one day: maybe I could try login with the PayPal app on my iPhone? Sure enough, PayPal trusted the app and let me login to their app. Then I tried to web login again, and this time it asked me to confirm in the mobile app that it was indeed me who's attempting the web login.

Given that PayPal is handling people's money and they have good reasons to be cautious, but risk-based auth really sucks at times when you don't have enough patience for it.

Mv3 blocking has some advantages, and may be enough for most people, currently, at least until things escalate. Mv3's blocking capabilities are similar with Safari's, and have the advantage of performance and security.

You can see it for yourself by trying uBO Lite:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite...

This extension is Mv3 compliant and decent enough. It blocks Google's trackers and ads, it blocks YouTube ads.

Also, keep in mind that other Chromium browsers have ad-blocking built-in, e.g., Brave and Vivaldi.

And Google's problem will be that all of Chrome's competition will have better adblocking as a selling point (except for Edge). So they can't keep Mv3 functionality too ineffective.

Your OP and replies kind of just come across as jealous that John Carmack’s opinion on this stuff is taken seriously whereas relatively unknown folks’ (yourself, the researcher you mentioned) opinions, are not despite the fact that he’s not traditionally credentialed. Like I said in my original post, we should be skeptical of him and his claims. But the way you are dragging this thread out feels like sour grapes. Of course one of the most famous programmers in the world is at least heard out when he dedicates years of his life to a programming adjacent topic. That’s just how fame works.

And calling out Princeton, Google, etc. further exemplifies an academic bubble kind of credentialism. I suspect you don’t realize how it sounds because you’re so in that credential filled world.

For most of my lifetime people have been talking about a shortage of labor as baby boomers retire and people having fewer children. It didn't match reality as wages kept staying low year after year.

Now finally it seems to be happening, it'll be less affordable to get people to do your tasks or cook your food but overall it should make society more equitable.
