What does that mean? Persistent, broad-based inflation is usually a feedback loop where high prices both force employees to ask for raises to afford the cost of living and give employers the free cash flow to afford those raises, and then those raises mean there is more disposable income that can be captured by higher prices. It's "driven" by high labor prices in the same sense that the chicken came first. (And in almost all cases, just like the egg comes first, the price increases come before the wage increases.). But that's immaterial - it matters that we're seeing these wage increases and so there's a high chance that we're in a wage/price spiral already.
Since when has the federal government been known to pay competitive to the private sector?

This sounds more like well worn ideological talking points, than a real concern.
This didn't really matter though.

The CPU was competitive with Intel in real world scenarios and was very well received when it launched in 2017; eg: https://www.pcworld.com/article/412262/ryzen-review-amd-is-b...

The point is that the architecture and CPU design was the thing, not the later switch to TSMC which didn't happen until Zen 2 in 2019.

Great read :)
I've been thinking that the US might be going about the whole Tik Tok thing in a nonconstructive way. If, instead, the federal government locked down what could be done with user data in a way that made Tik Tok not a threat, then we wouldn't have to say "these are fine, but that one's too spooky for us."

But then, the federal government would have to acknowledge that Tik Tok is just a different nation state doing what American companies are doing...
The federal government employs about 10% that number. You'd have to add all the state governments together, plus the federal government, to get around 24 million[1].

I think that's a poor characterization of the purpose of mathematical logic. The purpose of mathematical logic is not to capture the human mind, it's to overcome the limitations of the human mind.

Math is like sailing a ship during the age of sail. In the middle of the ocean, there is no point of reference. You have a vague sense of direction, but it's easy to get lost. You need some tools to navigate. Math is the ocean, your mind is the ship and mathematical logic is the navigation instruments.

Common Lisp is also a dynamic language.

In CL, classes can be redefined at runtime and the changes effect already instantiated instances! This is just an example, not the only dynamic feature of course.

Common Lisp has SBCL which generates very fast AOT native code despite the dynamic nature of the language, so I am not sure that being dynamic is a great excuse for being slow.
> They literally named it Autopilot and told people it could drive down the freeway without user input.

And again I ask for a contemporary cite relevant to the car in question where Tesla (or Mobileye) claimed it would drive autonomously. They didn't make that claim, and you know it. So... I guess your whole argument rests on the name[1] of the product[2] and not the technology? If they called it "BananaDrive"
you wouldn't be upset? That seems doubtful.

Look: this is a 100% vanilla distracted driver accident under cruise control, and you know it. It's not the first. It won't be the last. It happens probably every day in other makes of cars with very similar systems, and you don't care. You only care because of the name of the company that made the car.

[1] Not to put a fine a point on it, but Chrysler was selling cars with "Auto-Pilot" in the 50's. People didn't freak out about those.

[2] Again, to repeat: not the product being sold today or at any time over the last seven years, with which you keep trying to conflate.
thanks for recommendation!
Let's just say that many of these people do not value the things that I find important and vice versa.

Many are here because of the lack of income tax, the country music industry, and the extremely culturally conservative government. They either do not care about the poor public transit/services/infrastructure/schools/etc or they do not care enough to outweigh the benefits.

A common refrain I hear when talking to people is that they wanted to move somewhere that wasn't so "woke."

Nashville also, until recently, had a low COL compared to similarly sized non-Southern metros.

Personally I am here for work, and realistically many others would do the same. Nashville has more employment opportunities than the deep south and is a logical place for such people to end up.

That article is 7 years old, and doesn't really apply to the rise in crime people are talking about of the early 2020's. Sure, maybe taking a look at large swaths of history you could say crime is down. But no one gives a shit about that. People who are alive today remember crime 5 or 10 or 20+ years ago because that is relevant to their lives. Saying 'crime is down if you take a long look at history' is little consolation to someone who is noticing a rise in crime in their neighborhood over the last few years

> It's not tyranny. It's just democracy.

Not in this country. Democracy is not just who has the most votes. There are checks and balances, and one of them is the justice branch of the Government, up to and including the Supreme Court. If something is not just, hopefully the Supreme Court will step in and say no. There were cases in history when this did not happen, for example the Dred Scott decision 166 years ago [1] that Black people do not enjoy the protection of the Constitution. But more often than not, the Supreme Court was there to undo the injustice resulting from the will of the majority alone.

>It's hard to dispute that capitalism has given us some amazing goodies (Disney, iPhone, instant noodles), but on balance I think it might be a net negative.

A net negative compared to what? Feudalism? Stalinism? Capitalism certainly has real problems as seen here, but I haven't seen a real-world system that's proven to work any better; all the alternatives have been much worse. Usually, when people complain about capitalism and how they want something else, they can't seem to define what they really want, or what they want is some fairy-tale system that doesn't actually exist and probably wouldn't work if it were tried in the real world. The alternatives that have been tried have been disastrous.

That's what I thought too so I was quite surprised when I asked it and received a positive answer. Ask it to play your input back with a delimiter or emoji representing pauses.

What's difficult is to get it to ask clarifying questions. I mean, you can get it to play 20 questions easily, but by default it tries to tigve you the best answer every time rather than ever express uncertainty or ask what you mean. This might be a cultural artifact.

> Just because one does not know the definition of Autopilot, doesn't make on right. If you look at the definition you will se that "Autopilots do not replace human operators."

If someone needs to know the definition of a feature in order to dispel myths based on the name, surely you can admit it's a bad/misleading name?
I'll admit, there isn't actually a good solution to this. It's one of the core failures of the way we organize society and its resources.

I find this kind of fascinating, really. Because of the way we sort work and create institutions, there's a structural hook that ties in the persistence of the problem (or the creation of a perception of the problem) with the longevity and motivation of the institution / entity that is attempting to solve it.

Yeah, you could contract out to a third party (which would be better), but you're still establishing a relationship where their future earnings are dependent on coming up with a certain result, unless everyone involved is incredibly self aware and conscientious and is willing to work to put themselves out of a job. Not impossible, but a rarity.

Take the DEA, for example. Every indicator points to deprecation as the way forward. The science says that treating drugs like a crime is ineffective and creates all sorts of externalities, and there isn't even broad public support for the War On Drugs. It's expensive, ineffective, dangerous, wasteful. And it keeps an absolute fuckton of people employed, at all levels. These people have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, if for no other reason than their positions afford them power, quality of life, etc. So they lobby to keep stuff illegal and go on campaigns attempting to convince people that they'll peel themselves if they get high.

I'm not suggesting that EA and this AI thing is comparable to the DEA, mind you. If given the choice to keep one I'd be hanging out with you guys. That said, I'm ever leery of surveys in general, and there's a recursiveness to using your own data to back up your claims that doesn't sit well. If it's truly something that warrants money / time / attention, there's gotta be external sources that corroborate - Which I don't necessarily doubt, but that's not the thing we're looking at, here.

In this market, the X% might well need to be so near to 100% as to make the transaction not worth doing.

For ex: Stripe has marked itself down ~50% over the last year. Suppose you think the haircut should be more like the 70% comps like SQ and PYPL have taken, and build that into the X%. Then on top of that loss buffer, you prudently demand an illiquidity premium and a profit margin. That arithmetic doesn't leave much room for the employee to retain any stock.
Glad your world is very simple.

In TFA they mention the possibility of complying but not giving everything that is asked for. A lawyer can probably help you craft that in a way that will satisfy a judge.

Point about Ring's lawyers (which we've seemingly gotten away from this deep into the thread) is you do not pay for them or get involved if you don't want to be. You don't get to be involved in strategy either, which may not be in your interests. Getting the best thing for your interests may require paying a lot for a lawyer and a lot of stress. It would all depend on the specifics of the case.
Would the strike price be the same? If it is then I believe the employees are still on the hook for the same tax bill, because it's lower than the current fair market value.

> Back when I worked in Detroit, we were an RE20 station. And a lot of on-air talent — and we get a little bit of this here at NPR — likes to sound a little bit more authoritative, and they hit the microphone into the flat position to get that bassy sound. In Detroit, we used epoxy to hold all of the switches into a position so that couldn’t happen again. And, honestly, we do see that occasionally here. We’ll hear something bassy and we’ll run up to the studio and, sure enough, somebody switched it.

> Over the past 10 years, you see more computer screens throughout every broadcast plant. And often that microphone is real close to the computer screen: Depending on how close, you can actually hear some of the electronic interference off the computer screen. The computer screen is the big issue. If it is just a little too close to that microphone, your voice is reflecting off of it.

That's a logical consequence of one possible view in population ethics, which is orthogonal to utilitarianism.

There are equally counter-intuitive consequences of discounting future lives or not valuing them at all. What makes this specific point in time so much more important than every other point in time? Can we do anything we want to make our lives better regardless of future consequences?

The Bay Area is a wonderful place to live if you're wealthy enough to avoid all the bad stuff and able to fly somewhere else whenever you feel like it. The tech company executives who make headquarters location decisions are that wealthy, and they prefer to have short commutes. Location decisions are made on that basis. They don't much care about quality of life (or lack thereof) for regular employees. In most cases they are completely disconnected from the struggles that other Bay Area residents go through with schools and housing; it just doesn't register with them.

My advice to most young people starting their careers is to avoid the Bay Area unless you honestly have the potential to quickly get up near the top of the income distribution. It will continue as a key tech industry hub but for most people there are better options now.
The GS pay scale is phenomenally lower than private sector equivalent jobs in every single metro area, to the degree that the US government has geo-based pay supplements which still don't bring those jobs into equity. People like federal jobs because of the stability and the benefits, but there is no way in hell that federal salaries are driving inflation.
Comprehensions vs. map/filter/etc. is a style thing.

If you think in terms of an expression language that composes functions, then map and filter are more natural.

If you think in terms of a statement language with special syntax for computation expressions, then comprehensions are more natural.

Even in Racket (a scheme), idiomatic code seems to prefer the `for/thing` family of macros, which have a variety of flavors and keyword arguments to support map, filter, reduce, mapcar, etc.

Whatever floats your boat.
Yes this is a cause of inflation, but not the cause of inflation today.

Today, much of the inflation is cost-push instead of demand-pull like you described. Cars became expensive, not because suddenly everyone had money to go buy a car, or suddenly those peaky autoworkers caught a raise, but because the parts to make the cars didn’t exist because of supply chain problems brought on because of Covid lockdowns.

Eggs are expensive because chickens are dying of avian flu, not because undocumented laborers getting an extra nickel.

Same with oil, grain, pretty much everything.
Why do people act like the tax's is greater than the cash flow, like it's some unthinkable crime to pay tax.
Steering angle is a critical input for antilock break systems, so quite a while.
Employees asking for raises results in basically nothing unless the employee has leverage so broad-based raises are a sign of a market that wants to hire more labor than is readily available (of course, this is what led to a lot of that aforementioned housing inflation, but it wasn't as tight across as many industries as it is now).

Major cost of living components like housing have been going up rapidly for tens of millions of people in major metro areas for a decade. Employees wanted more money the whole damn time. They didn't get much willing movement there; they didn't have the leverage in the employment market. Legislatures in many areas stepped in instead after failing to see wages in most industries keep up.

It's not clear to me that this particular version of the feedback loop is inherently bad long-term or unstable. Why should I assume it's going to spiral out of control rather than eventually slowly grind to a new equilibrium as some employers can't keep up with market wages and fall out of the market and supply vs demand stabilizes? And government wages seem like the least relevant - government pay was uncompetitive in so many areas to start with.
The military does have experience in overthrowing existing governments and setting up all-new civilian governments (including police). Perhaps they should try that in LA.
You need to check your source of facts.
Spot on except I don’t think identity can be boiled down to perception. It’s also not really necessary to make your point - some people simply care a lot (too much) about the perception of others. Others don’t precisely because their sense of self isn’t so dependent on others.
Is that a common worry? At least in my niche, the highest GS salary band doesn't come close to normal annual compensations (and comes with many additional requirements, such as a PhD or other indication of exceptional worth).

The people I know who find government (both state and federal) employment attractive do so because it offers a better work-life balance and, for state employees, the possibility of a pension. That or they're attracted to a specific agency or department's mission, which is not something that private groups can always compete with at all (e.g. when they reflect a regulatory role).

You’re not missing anything. It’s basically illegal for public companies to hold data without offering it for sale. (Have enough money to buy 51% of Google? You can buy all their data!) This could sort of thing could be prevented by Terms of Service agreements, but in practice, companies always reserve the right to change their ToS in the future, and almost always have vague carve outs for internal use of customer data.

There’s a similar problem for any private companies that have outstanding debt or payment obligations. If they default or go bankrupt, then the courts will force them to sell user data to help generate the missing cash. This will override any user agreements, since the creditors are generally first in line when a company goes under.

The only difference between One Medical and GoodRX here is that One Medical only sold account data to one advertising firm (that I know of).

I don't know if reseting the "lipostat" is much more than a bandage on a bullet wound. Yes, it's better to have it, and it's a step in a good direction. But I'm skeptical it will be the ultimate solution. The way we're polluting our environments have other negative externalities, too. Now it's the obesity epidemic, coming right up is the infertility crisis, and I don't feel confident we won't have a cancer epidemic next.

I'm not against pharmaceutical progress and shaping our bodies to fit our world more. We've certainly caused a lot of evolutionary pressures for ourselves in the last few hundred years. But maybe it would be healthier on an individual level to just move to a region less touched by industrial pollution.
