State governments, local governments, and property development, basically colluding to not build cheap and affordable high density housing.
Your opinion is probably popular among its audience, but really that’s a shame. There’s a wealth of evidence that such an investment in hours is either counterproductive or short lived or both. The human impact can be devastating. The reward can be somewhere between fleeting and extremely deleterious.

I’m a former workaholic who put in countless 60-100 hour weeks, and mostly I made that choice on my own, but I sincerely wish I had heeded the warnings sooner. My 60-100 hour weeks weren’t 50-150% more productive, ever. They were just exhausting, maybe permanently.

> the premise that interest rates are really the optimal way to control inflation

Economic theory for at least two centuries has recognised the outsized power of fiscal policy relative to monetary.
This sounds like the same script was used in America.
You are being pretty shifty here. You were talking about laws congress passes, but now you are talking about precedent, which is something that happens in courts (the judicial branch). I'm getting the sense that you are a little mixup up on your civics.
If providing actual sources and concrete examples to back my arguments isn't convincing anyone, that really shows how lost Americans are. I've literally linked you Harvard studies in the reply. You're the one doing the whole trust me bro thing here buddy.

>No, it's not because my primary source of information is "western" explicitly

Once you actually read your source, you'll see that the official name of the party is indeed CPC, the Communist Party of China.

> The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), officially the Communist Party of China (CPC), is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

Why ASU affiliated sources choose to call the party CCP I have no idea.

>Do you find ad hominem convincing yourself?

If you're going to use terms like ad hominem to make yourself sound smart then you should at least learn what they mean first.

Ad hominem, would be me saying that you are wrong because of poor quality of your character. However, I've actually provided factual sources to show why your argument is wrong here. Perhaps don't engage in debate on subjects you're utterly ignorant regarding and then you won't feel the need to feel insulted.

I understand your comment perfectly, and all you're doing here is using sophistry to distract from the fact that your comment was demonstrably asinine.
in fairness most of his points were probably accumulated before the poster joined the site.
For anyone else following along, I'll just note that they don't make any substantive counterpoint when provided with the evidence, and just made vague claims that evidently my sources "don't support his assertions". How that is the case is not explained. Seems pretty clear which person is being disingenuous here.

It actually creates debt out of thin air. The loan receiver has debt principal plus interest to be repaid. The bank's asset is the interest on that debt.

Net money after the loan is repaid is negative - if we include fees and interest then a repaid loan from the bank in isolation actually removes money from the economy.

What keeps it all going is the continued issuance of debt, which is often used to repay existing debt, as well as invest in capital that will ideally generate enough returns to repay interest.

Part of the complete package of competence is intentionally managing how competent other people perceive you to be. Probably a good default is to present close to your true competence, and have some flexibility on either side as the occasion suits.
You are missing the point, it's still an asset under Russian control, whether you like it or not.
> (looks to be Ku-band satellite or similar)

It's impossible to tell from looking at it in a photo taken from that distance what band a parabolic aimed (pan/tilt motorized) geostationary satellite antenna of that type is. Unless you're close enough to measure the diameter of the feed horn. Small size means it's unlikely to be C-band as not enough gain unless you want to waste a huge section of transponder space at BPSK modulation and ultra low bps/Hz ratio. It could be X, Ku, high Ku, Ka, etc.

Also extremely likely a craft like that has L/S-band more omnidirectional low data rate command and control radio talking to something in orbit. Basically same idea as L/S-band Inmarsat but operated on military satellites. Obviously the Chinese government won't be using Iridium.

Somewhere I think there are also some laid off ex Google Loon project engineers who are having a good laugh about this whole thing.

edit: I am thinking mainly of espresso and now that I fully read your comment, I see you acknowledge that. Espresso in a sealed bag is pretty good for months. But once you open it, the flavor changes day by day and after a week or so the special qualities are basically gone. There are various things you can try but I have yet to find a great solution to this.

> What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
What did it turn out you actually had?
> Awaiting approval from your manager to change the price is not evidence of price fixing, which is what I originally replied to.

This is ultimately all I'm arguing. I'm entirely in agreement the relationship between RP and a significant chunk of the market, and the fact they're naming the pricing strategy as coordinated sounds exactly like price fixing.

But, requiring a manager to approve a change in pricing, that isn't odd. That singular thing, that's all I'm talking about, because that's what I originally replied to here.

> > await approval

> Sure seems like RealPage is price fixing then

Awaiting approval from your manager to change the price is not evidence of price fixing. Do you disagree with this basic premise?
What can this thing take a picture of that isn't already on google earth? Literally. I mean there's a small chance it floats over area 51 or something like it, but that's slim.
I dated a girl in the mid to late 1980s whose father was completely blind and worked as a software programmer. At the time, knowing little of computers, I didn’t think much of it. 30-35 years later, having worked as a programmer for nearly 25 years, I wish I was still in touch with the family so I could ask how he did it. I assume things would be easier now for a blind programmer, but, maybe not.
This sounds like the discretionary component of all capital-requirement systems.

> the RBA could 'print' large amounts of money and not tell anyone

The RBA publishes accounts and money-supply estimates. Also, all banks can create money. Estimating money supply from capital requirements isn’t precise.
To be clear, I don't disagree with you about MCMC. But wouldn't your first two pitfalls wouldn't be taken care of as much as possible by using a widely used library's implementation? All the libraries I'm aware of tune the HMC hyperparameters automatically - should I be more worried that there's something invisibly going wrong there? And your third pitfall applies to MCMC in general, not HMC in particular.
So you mean to say everyone has an agenda to cross? Which, by the way, also means that you have an agenda to cross too. "Anti-anti-corporation guy makes anti-anti-corporation comment: Reddit/HN Pitchfork"
It would still wind up in the liver. In a 1966 paper -- "the metabolism of intravenously injected isotopic cholic acid in Laennec's cirrhosis," by Blum et al. -- it was discovered that "when isotopic cholic acid was administered intravenously to normal subjects, there was a rapid and permanent disappearance of isotope from the systemic plasma, reflecting the essentially complete localization of bile acids in the liver, biliary apparatus, intestinal content, and portal blood."

Bile acids might be less toxic if administered via IV infusion, in comparison with oral administration. Then again, they might be more toxic. (Due to rapid excretion or poor absorption via the oral route.) I don't know offhand if one delivery method or the other would be preferred in this regard.

But though most bile acids are toxic, not all of them are. TUDCA and UDCA are not only liver-safe, they're first-resort drugs for resolving drug-induced liver damage and promoting liver health. If these "healthy bile acids" can combat MS, that would be a very interesting result. TUDCA and UDCA are very cheap, and their safety profiles are well established.
While I don't agree with all the specifics of what terms they censored out, I do think there's something to be said for updating outdated / offensive terminology. Language changes, acceptable terminology changes. Kids books are chosen for kids by their parents. If research showed that parents didn't want to buy their kids books with the word "fat", doesn't it make perfect sense to update it?

If Dahl was writing today, and his editor said they had to change some phrasing, of course he would have done it. The important thing is getting kids to read his marvelous stories, not insisting on some form of literary purity.

The topic of obesity somewhat reminds me of a joke I once heard from a stand-up comedian whom I cannot remember the name of, but it went something along the lines of, "People always ask you why you quit drinking, but you know... People never ask you why you drank in the first place."

I do not believe that there is a significant portion of the human population that wakes up each day and decides to actively diminish their long-term health by overeating sheerly because he or she lacks the willpower/motivation to improve themselves. I feel that the minor, medium, and major stressors in life are what subconsciously steer one down this path. It's not like people who abuse substances[1] are completely oblivious or ignorant to the negative consequences of the substance.

I think most people understand living an active lifestyle and eating a healthy diet is beneficial, but it's just not plausible for many. Be it time, money, or energy -- I do not think the average person has enough of all three at the end of any given day.

Educating people on how to better take care of themselves is not enough. Obesity is a symptom not a disease in my eyes. I am starting to believe onus of responsibility is less on the individual than we might think for when many of the rats in this rat race are dropping like flies, then perhaps the issue the with the race and not the rats?

[1] I consider food, especially junk food, to be a substance which can be abused.

I was really excited about Bun when it first launched and even joined the early beta and it blows the doors off most other options (webpack) for sure.

However, I've discovered Vite since then, and I know it's not a 1:1 comparison, but Vite is much more mature, and does everything I need and is incredibly user friendly and plenty fast enough for me. I kinda feel like Bun missed its moment already. Someone convince me otherwise please. I'm loving Vite it's a huge step up from Webpack, and isn't leaving me wanting for anything more.

In Australia the central bank rate is about 3% and inflation is much higher (I think 6-7% right now). There were goods shortages during COVID caused in part by broad increases in the monetary supply and difficulty in transportation (which is exacerbated by low unemployment, which is directly linked to aggregate demand, and hence interest rates).

When unemployment is too low and inflation is too high, you are supposed to increase interest rates to lower aggregate demand. Yes, central banks are doing this now and it has had some effect so far, but they have not gone far enough to address the problem.
Also frequently a good chunk of that 80-100 is watching YouTube or cruising Reddit and convincing yourself you were putting in real hours.

One answer is to punish it the same. in this circumstance, I don't think the facts work for google at all as they A) had the burden, and B) lied to the court saying that they complied. The court doesn't care about the individual workers at Google, it cares that Google lied to the court and also spoiled evidence.
You can load the contents of a .asd file (this can be useful when developing on versions other than what you want in your ASDF search path). It is unnecessary outside of that use case though.
The F-22 service ceiling is 60,000 ft so it can get up there too. The U2, however, flies relatively slow (< 400 kn) at that altitude so is ideal for an up-close inspection.

I would think that the U2 internal cameras were designed for a long focal length and for objects below the aircraft. I wonder if they made modifications for balloon photos.

One recent man had a lot going for him. In fact he was the most promising prospect I’d had in some time. But then he mentioned that he got his daily coffee from Starbucks, and I found it hard to imagine dating someone who liked Starbucks coffee; or even if they liked the coffee, didn’t find Starbucks so odious and soul-diminishingly ubiquitous they would never go there.

In October 2019 the DoJ served Google with a Civil Investigative Demand asking for documents relating to its ad tech business and various other subjects. A month earlier, in September 2019, attorneys general for 49 states announced an investigation into Google's ad tech business, led by Texas AG Ken Paxton.

Would it be reasonable for Google to have anticipated this litigation in 2019 after those events.

If anyone is looking for ways to help the blind community a very simple one is to sign up as a volunteer for Be My Eyes (https://www.bemyeyes.com/).

It relies on conversation so wouldn’t work for a blind and deaf person like John without some sort of (external) “voice to braille” system, not sure if such a system is available.
Well, I guess all I mean to highlight is that a blanket ban might be sub-optimal versus requiring some minimum bar of fairness and consideration of noncompetes. After all, if the situation outlined above seems fair to us, then I feel like we'd have to concede that it would also be fair for the "average worker" if only such workers got similar terms (not necessarily millions of dollars, but commensurate with their normal pay) and had some negotiating leverage going into the agreement.

There is already plenty of precedent for overly lopsided/one-sided contracts not being valid/enforceable (and indeed many noncompetes actually aren't valid for exactly that reason), so I would have no problem with a law that makes the standard explicit, rather than relying on litigation and jurisdictionally variable case law to sort it out as happens today. Compared to a blanket ban, requiring employers to pony up some "fair" cost and to weigh that against the benefits to them of a noncompete may actually be better for workers overall.
Your responses aren't a particularly fair reading, so I'm going to decline to address them.

I'm sorry you felt I shat on your idea. I was actually very interested in it. My contribution to the conversation was critical, but not intended to be dismissive. I thought it was a great question and a topic I'm interested in & think about often. So I formed a substantive comment expressing my thoughts on it.

I'm sorry this was a frustrating experience for you. If there's something I could have done differently (other than just stay silent) to make it more clear that I thought this was a good discussion or to be clearer, please let me know, and I'll consider it going forward.
Australia is addicted to property appreciation. They have thrown so much gas on the fire that it’s burning the rest of their economy. Canada is the same way.

The selling point is that it's a solid editor with zero config I can use in the terminal for those "in between" tasks where it's not really worth pulling it up in an IDE but worth having some syntax highlighting and LSP support. Think like, I need to make a quick change to a python script in some far flung directory. In/out in less than a minute.

Just the fact that you're asking what my package set was is a turnoff for me. There shouldn't be a package set. It should just work. In VS Code when I need the editor to have additional features I just click the button, pick the extension with the highest number of installs, and 99% of the time it immediately does what I want. In vim you play this whole game where you google for it, gather opinions on the "best" plugin for that task, read the README, "just simply add these lines to your lua config", figure out why the keybind is conflicting with your existing keybind setup, etc etc. Goodbye afternoon!

I've tried lunarvim, astrovim, etc etc. Those work great! Until you actually do want to change something. Now you're back in config hell, and even worse, because you didn't even design this hell yourself, it's someone else's hell.
This is our internal content making tool, some of us thought it is a cool tool on its own, and I thought I will get the community feedback.

In the first 24 hrs we got thousands of users giving it a try, and driving the costs through the roof, so I had to limit the amount of content and the quality of content it generates. With that said I still think it's worth a try. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.
> Capping housing prices will cause less houses to be built

Not if you have the government build housing.

We need something like Singapore's Housing Development Board (HDB) which keeps reusing the same architectural designs and elements for simple, functional, repeatable housing that just works.

Singapore also has private-built condos, for those who want luxury, but the HDB flats are perfectly functional, dignified, clean, and comfortable. About 80% of Singaporeans live in government-built housing. Homelessness is almost nonexistent.
For a balloon yes, generally speaking most balloons that can reach this altitude are weather balloons which are launched commonly but are cheap and disposable.

This platform is an order of magnitude larger and more capable than a normal weather balloon and thus much more expensive.
