> Ten of the 67 demonstrators have never been arrested.

This feels like a very select group of people to be honest. Extrapolating these numbers to “demonstrators” in general seems like a bit of a stretch, regardless of whether this is right or wrong.

Well, your ignorance is a problem we can address here. Please read the entirety of the Wikipedia article [1], specifically:

The veracity of the quote has been questioned by Ehrlichman's family, while Vox senior correspondent German Lopez has suggested that Ehrlichman was either wrong or lying. According to Lopez:

But Ehrlichman's claim is likely an oversimplification, according to historians who have studied the period and Nixon's drug policies in particular. There's no doubt Nixon was racist, and historians told me that race could have played one role in Nixon's drug war. But there are also signs that Nixon wasn't solely motivated by politics or race: For one, he personally despised drugs – to the point that it's not surprising he would want to rid the world of them. And there's evidence that Ehrlichman felt bitter and betrayed by Nixon after he spent time in prison over the Watergate scandal, so he may have lied.

More importantly, Nixon's drug policies did not focus on the kind of criminalization that Ehrlichman described. Instead, Nixon's drug war was largely a public health crusade – one that would be reshaped into the modern, punitive drug war we know today by later administrations, particularly President Ronald Reagan...

"It's certainly true that Nixon didn't like blacks and didn't like hippies," Courtwright said. "But to assign his entire drug policy to his dislike of these two groups is just ridiculous."*

Any investments whose value was sensitive to the Fed's rates would have had the exact same problem.

In 2008 MBSes were bad because the underlying value of the investment turned out to be bad. That's not happening this time. All that's happening is the same thing that happens to any bonds -- when rates increase, older lower-rate bonds lose value because why would anyone pay full price for them when they can get a new one with a higher rate?

We don't want people crippled from abusive levels of hours doing a task at high risk of repetitive stress injury just so that Apple doesn't have to deal with shift changes.

As a bank, parking the money into long maturity bonds, especially when it's not your money, and your customer can take the money back anytime, and the current rates are 0% (so can go upward only...).

This was an interesting article until it started praising musk for slashing half of twitter - I don’t think the HR and legal departments were doing fake work, and the current lack of stability seems to indicate that a good portion of those people layed off where actually important.

If you're drowning in money, people tend to spend it foolishly. I say this looking at my DJI drone sitting in the corner collecting dust.
It seems like there’s a lot of uncertainty around the dollar amount of the deposits in excess of FDIC limits which would make it difficult to figure out a deal.

You are surely making great points. Some people obsessed with mindless economic growth don't think there is anything beyond it. With full support of media, intelligentsia and economists there is this myth created where anyone not doing a paid job for external entity is an inferior person or oppressed person.

I have read endless stories in Indian newspapers where a person hauling their four member family on an underpowered scooter to a McDonalds meal is a aspiring middle class. On the other hand if a family is having a hot meal at home on weekend it is obviously because women of house is oppressed to stay at home and cook.
If that's of interest to you, you might also want to look up "FDIC sweep" or "insured cash sweep". Basically your bank makes accounts at other banks, and each sub-account only has up to $250k in it, so you're totally covered.

This is really amazing from my perspective: few or almost no background jobs that would justify building my own flavor of this setup. Love the API design around this.
Except that rationale has time and time again shown itself to be horseshit, and doctors would be better off with more shifts (so they weren't overtired like half of their shift and therefore making mistakes) and better processes for hand offs.

Karma on HN is essentially ornamental but useless: it signals you've said a lot of stuff people agree with, which isn't a bad thing, but it's almost useless helping you obtain any kind of karmic balance by saying things people don't like.

What I mean is, if you've got 10k karma, there is no practical way to use it to say 10k downvotes worth of disagreeable stuff without getting rate limited or banned. It's (almost) one-way only, not so much a way of balancing good and bad.

The paper says "... optimized on next-word prediction only". Which is absolutely correct in 2023.

ChatGPT (and indeed all recent LLMs) using much more complex training methods than simply 'next-word prediction'.
Thanks.

That’s an almost like a sci-fi plot. It doesn’t fit from my lay perspective though. Putins miracle weapons seems like Hitlers - a PR exercise for the masses. The performance of the Russian military has been so pathetic it’s surely caused huge rethinks in many quarters.
I think maybe they are not very good at running a bank.
Impossible. If humans are just predicting the next word then this makes us no different from LLMs.
I often do too! But I certainly also had some professors in college who were frankly just really bad at conveying their expertise in a way that was accessible to people who were not also already experts. Some SMEs happen to have good communication skills and can be really fun to talk to, but the systems that produce experts don't, in my experience, select for these attributes, so whether or not you get them is pretty luck-of-the-draw.
Because of one word, and I think you know which it is.
Not at all, my point is to avoid fancy words like "solvency" and "liquidity", they blind you to the basic fact that if you need cash today and you can't get it then you're broke.

Whether you have assets that *you* believe you could draw on in the future doesn't matter when your need is immediate.
No, they were greedy. They were going to lose it one way or another, either through inflation or through asset depreciation. There was no way around it. Going to a riskier asset doesn't help because all assets have the same interest-rate risk embedded. They just took on more risk in addition to that.

Real rates were negative for 10+ years (and still are on the short end!). That's everyone paying for trillions of dollars of wars, speculation and bad investments. The bill has to be paid.

But as mentioned, none of this applies to intermediaries like banks. They aren't forced to take on any risk.

If this was code I'd have to review I'd give the feedback that the wrong information is kept in state.

After start the only thing the setTimeout should do is set the game to be finished and then show the final count to the user. If the code wouldn't have used an alert which definitely is a side effect of a function it gets apparent where the code went outside of the React loop. Not defending that but saying that alert and console.log conflict with React's always re-execute approach and for those cases, as you would have guessed, you can use useEffect and only listen to the finished state to execute your alert.

Throwing a console.log/alert into the direct function body of a component just asks to be spammed by rerenders (assuming the average developer)
I try not to judge these jobs by first world standards.

What I don't understand is why a company can use $2 an hour labor and then sell a product for $1K.

If I ran the US, I would put heavy tariffs on goods that companies try to outsource for cheap labor.

This would encourage them to use technology and robotics to produce domestically.
Comment was edited after my comment to include the things that stand out, which were previously missing.
Are you telling me that the company who suckered me into creating a roadmap and hiring plan as part of the interview process for the Head of Engineering position and then ghosted me after I presented it has made a horrible technical blunder?! I'm shocked! /s. Fun fact: I gave the "HIPAA Compliance Audit & Actioning" project the highest priority of all their projects.

[edit] I dug up my response to their recruiter who contacted me 1.5 years later for an EM role.

"Hi <recruiter>, I interviewed with Cerebral in 2020 for Head of Engineering. I put together a slide deck outlining exactly how I would build out the team, including resourcing costs and project prioritization. I then presented this to Kyle, the CEO. I literally never heard back from him or Maddie, even after requesting the status of my candidacy. So, no, I would never be interested in working for Cerebral and I would surely advise everyone I've ever met to avoid the company as well."
You're misrepresenting that conviction you allege he has though.

> Nothing. Most leftists are anti-authoritarian and want strict limits on the power of the state.

> 'The left' is highly fragmented in western countries

These two things seem incongruent.

I like how both yours and the other reply to me make it a point to say 'no true lefty' and only the 'bad' ones are authoritarian and would get ostracized but also lefties don't ostracize. The other reply claims that centrist lefties are really the authoritarian ones and you say the extreme lefties are the authoritarian ones.

Who are we left with?

Also, I was downvoted, I assume by lefties who "aren't lefties", for asking.

I detect a pattern.

To further reply to you both if "just-left-of-center liberal types" are bad, and extreme left tankies are bad, and they all call each other authoritarian and accuse one another of not being the real lefties -- this according to you -- how is one to best interact with a stranger who identifies as a leftie?

Bonus question: further down thread I was told " If the cops submitted a thousand data requests and 999 of them came back with nothing, but one of them prevented someone from gunning down people, then they are were justifiable requests." -- since some lefties are authoritarian/violent tankie types shouldn't the police be investigating lefties none stop?

We used to think that the appendix was vestigial and useless, we used to think that 'Junk dna' was a thing. With more time and research we now know how wrong we were. I'll take the downvotes and predict that we'll keep finding out how wrong we are long into the future on this subject.
The fact that Twitter had to ask some of the people it laid off to come back shortly after having fired them says it all about how incompetent and self-defeating those layoffs were.
>No. I don't believe this race to the bottom actually exists.

There are literally companies using child labor in the US RIGHT NOW, and a huge argument against increasing minimum wage is that "they are jobs for teens and teens don't need that much money" so desperate (or privileged enough in their position to not need to demand more) people are depressing wages in the US currently.
I hate talking about downvotes but it is really odd that you're being downvoted for asking for a source. Source are requested all the time on this website, and only in certain cases do they get downvoted like this. Hopefully your comment won't be gray in a few hours when more people participate in the thread.

I would like to see a source as well, because I want to see sources for all claims I encounter online. Why should I trust a random person on a website?
I like your examples a lot, because they illustrate the challenges well.

“there is no racial inequality in the American criminal justice system” is not particularly offensive to me; even if I may disagree, I’m still interested in commentary. Ditto deadnaming, it isn’t a dealbreaker for me, especially if it’s done within a post that is making some greater point that I find to be insightful.

In an ideal setup, there would be an off the shelf moderation blacklist that caters to your needs, and another off the shelf moderation blacklist that caters to mine (both updated on an ongoing basis), and neither of us have to do anything manually to get the experience we both separately desire.

I’m reusing that.
Ya, if you want to see this cashed out here's Stuart Kauffman https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2011/04/04/135113346/there...

"IS THERE A FINITE PRESTATABLE SET OF BIOLOGICAL "FUNCTIONS?" That is, is there a finite prestatable list of features of organisms that MIGHT serve a selective function in some selective environment?

I think the deep answer is NO.

The unexpected uses of features of organisms, or technologies, are precisely what happens in the evolution of the biosphere and econosphere, and the analog happens in cultural evolution with the uses of mores, cultural forms, regulations, traditions, in novel ways. In general, these possibles are novel functionalities, in an unbounded space of functionalities, and so are not mathematizable and derivable from a finite set of axioms. "

I think Kauffman is not against finite origins, but that they can capture infinity afforded by them is the impossible task.

What's misunderstood about Wittgenstein though? Didn't he say the uses of language are limitless? I think he also would add in some form for finite starting point.
To be clear, I think MBS are morally wrong in how they're implemented in the market, yes.

Can't the same be said for people who believe the world is flat? After all they believe it, so their concern about the round world conspiracy has to be reasonable, right?

I think there might be a tiny gap in your reasoning.
