Pretty much every letter Tolkien wrote that touches on racial issues was quite anti-racist. He condemned the nazis, and yet also condemned racist anti-german propaganda in England during the war. He also expressed sympathy with the treatment of black people in South Africa in a letter to his son Christopher.
Somehow that feels like an entirely avoidable problem.
"Do we need to increase unemployment to bring inflation down"
What kind of inflammatory nonsense is this?
We could clearly observe that the largest driver for inflation in the US is Energy/Oil generating record revenues for Oil/Gas companies around the globe.
I just 48 hours ago read this headline: Saudi oil giant Aramco posts record $161 billion profit for 2022
Boise Idaho is the only independent city (not part of a larger metro area) on that page listed with a lower murder rate than Toronto.

However, it’s not consistent year to year going from a vastly higher 5 per 100k in 2007 then dropping to 0.5 in 2008, then back to 2.9 in 2009 etc. Looking at the most recent years it’s roughly comparable with Toronto, but the long term average is higher. Suggesting it’s a more dangerous city with higher annual variance in rates. https://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Boise-City-Idaho.html

Violent crime statistics are based on different standards in different areas and are therefore much harder to actually compare than dead bodies. Even with dead bodies there’s some ambiguity for people who died after the fact from injuries and when murder is more ambiguous etc. Violent crime rates between states let alone countries face different definitions, levels of reporting, etc so you really need to closely examine both raw data and methodology to do a solid assessment. Simply looking at official data from a Wikipedia table etc is very misleading.
and this is a dumb waste of resources/time/money/energy. the government should run a safe and boring bank for people and small businesses. no loans, no credit cards, just deposits (and allow people to buy safe bonds/ETFs through other banks).

they are already going to guarantee most accounts anyway.
By and large the UCC codified the common law as it developed in the context of commercial contracts, but streamlined and simplified some rules (in a few cases inverting them), especially in areas which were deemed to result in overly complex litigation with unpredictable outcomes. But irony of ironies, the irreducible complexity didn't magically disappear, so now instead of 1 problem you have 2, both of which law students are forced to wrestle with, though in the abstract the common law rules are the simpler of the two.
This is what E&O insurance is for. Insurance company will defend and settle. Class members will get a $5 gift card to Applebee's. And the lawyers will get 1/3 of the settlement in fees, probably a few million bucks.
Sounds like they didn’t roll out any actual meaningful features until long after the crypto hype died down. Peak crypto/NFT frenzy was early/mid 2021.

So not only were they bandwagoning, they were slow too.
I whole-heartedly agree with your sentiment.

However it's not all a net positive either. One issue that comes from the Japanese style of work culture is that seniority often trumps merit - which, while also common in the US, tends to cause more problems in Japanese companies when someone is shifted to a new department and given more control than they should have over something they have little experience in.

It also leads to it being significantly more difficult to change careers or even employers, as leaving ones job where it's difficult to be let go can much more easily be seen as a red flag.

Have to detect a frame of black before detecting a flash of white. And the white has to be detected on the right raster lines. It's not trivial to fake.

> It's only a loss if...

I always thought one the fundaments of "yellow journalism" was that it had no basis in fact. Exaggeration alone doesn't seem enough to earn the association, I think.

> unless the owner is depending on liquidating them at par value at any time.

Well.. exactly. Shouldn't we have an accounting mechanism that actually accounts for this eventuality? In particular because this is a bank, it doesn't seem isolated, interest rates have changed significantly recently, and the NYSE halts list today appears pretty foreboding to an outsider.
On Android it tries a few times before giving up. You could also schedule the txt to send in a minute or two to give the drone time to ascend.

We already asked you once before not to post like this. Please don't do it again.
They do straddle a line. It's the same line that ruin porn photographers face (though I think they have fewer scruples). Sometimes they are exploitative, but they are also being documentative (for example, the Dustbowl internal migrants captured by Lange, among others).

If you go to Today's Russia or Ukraine, you will find very similar conditions, often captured by wealthier European photographers. Are they being exploitative, are they documenting. It depends on the photographer and how they approach it. You can still grant the subject respect and decency.
Why stop there? The ISPs are making money on the traffic as well, maybe hit them up as well.
I thought they addressed that by converting to oil burners.

It's not just Colorado. When Union Pacific restored 3985, it was initially a coal burner. They lit a lot of grass fires until they converted it to burn oil. (I was uncomfortably close to one of them, and helped put out another one.)
If the data types have constructors and/or destructors that have side effects then it has to be lazy. Otherwise IMO it's not really behaving like a sum type.
That kind of reads like a sarcastic post. The us has so much terrible internet. I'm about to try trip channel bonding starlink, dsl, and an lte internet connection. Starlink and dsl drop packets a lot.

I'm in the us, pay $100 a month to get 5 mbit dsl. This is not in a big city though, 20 miles outside of a city, next to a highway. There's fiber that runs by the street at the small subdivision this is in, kind of in the woods. The company that owns it refuses to connect us to fiber, instead preferring to put 100 homes on 5mbit dsl at far more profit. There's one big commerical user that paid for the fiber. This is the story of the us of course, I'm not unique. A family member lives on the other side of the country, he's closer to a big city but has the same problem.
Personally I only care about GitLab because its open source with a good CI and because of Copilot.

If the supreme court says the copilot is fully legal, I would probably just revert to using Github for personal projects(their free tier is just unbeatable), i still use it more than anything else, because everything is on Github.

I am excited about Gitea Actions[1], as I feel gitea is generally only missing a decent CI system, and codeberg is growing fast.

> > restored faith in the system

The confidence in a system where 'nothing bad ever happens to nobody' is at historical minimums actually.

After the lockdowns, the experimental vaccine, 3 Trillion spending, free money for everybody etc... people aren't stupid. They understand that forest fires are needed for a healthy forest. And this is true in any context.

In the last 3 years we have seen the fire brigade and the 747s water bombers being summoned as soon as even a small spark is seen (or even projected to appear).

Whatever solution engineered by humans will always be way inferior vis-a-vis Natural selection. This is true for virus, bacteria, antibiotic resistance and also bank failures. Not to mention how the solution is 99.999% of the times just kicking the can down the road, as it happened in the last 3 years.
Simply because they are all in on cameras although there are recent teardowns of their cars online that foreshadow a possible comeback for additional sensors.
Good idea. That's actually what I've mainly been fishing for around Tiburon. I've had pretty good luck there.
You don't need to be a Chief Risk Officer to know that a huge low yield long-term bond is a liability in a high interest rate environment. Clearly they thought the party would never end.
I see in your post history that you're a comedian, so I can only hope that this is meant to be funny, because the irony here is layered on so thickly.
> The people who do the marketing, HR, or "run socials" tend to be from the demographic that over values safe corporate speak

I don't think their behavior comes from demographics, but from the incentive structure in these positions.

Press releases are more often defensive than offensive, so the staff who write these face far more risk than reward. This incentivizes them to avert risk and play safe.
I've never thought of this before, but I imagine the ground could have glowed for minutes or hours, and been visible from Earth. That would have been quite something to see from a safe distance.
I've been thinking of this as well, though I'm a Java guy.
You could buy an equivalent system, they just use special contractor only models so you cant easily see the price online.
Except you don’t have to take a loss if you don’t have to sell. If you can hold it to maturity, you get all your money back.

It’s only really an issue if you’re forced to liquidate early, and the fed is allowing you to loan the assets out at par value - which will help a lot on that front.

On the other hand some banks have asserts that don’t count under that program - they could be in trouble if there’s enough pressure on them.

Effective interest rates dropped like a rock today, the most since 1983 on the two year treasury. And the fed is likely to be a lot more dovish next week. That will help.

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I think the worst of the danger has passed. I loaded up on regional banks today.
Consider RedwoodJs
Or Nx
We don't know, do you ?
I wondered this as well. Are they worried about setting a precedent that the govt can liquidate your bonds to help you meaning banks will now keep less cash on hand. What price would they be sold at?
They’ll have to license the spectrum in each country they want to operate in. This could be interesting I assume that their spot sizes are narrow enough however they might land in some legal issues in border areas…
Unfortunately, inflation is more complicated than that.

Think of it more like a system of reactions that feed off each other: wage increases, pro-active price increases by retailers, etc.

It doesn’t necessarily matter what started accelerating inflation, but it is important to stop the system from gaining too much momentum and slow it down if it does.

Lowering employment and slowing spending with monetary policy are the best tools we currently have to do this.

Of course, the Federal Government could also rein in the outrageous deficit spending, which would help greatly but this is too politically difficult.
Concerned about all of it starting to wobble.

The fact that YC exit "Late stage" largely due to macroeconomic headwind that they didn't admit it.

Instead, they said "core", "distraction".

Nope. The real reason is Late Stage is more expensive to deploy investment while the printer machine is off so no more easy money/easy startup.

But, you didn't actually ask. And that is literally my point.

I care about stability in my employment situation as much as the next canine. I've worked at 4 startups, each with under 150 employees apiece. I've asked questions about funding, client base, growth plans, etc. All the normal "hard" questions you have to ask as a prospective startup employee. Not once have I ever asked where they banked. Not once has anyone I know asked where their employer banked.

I would submit that if the banking system becomes fragile enough that asking about such a thing is actually a good idea, we have bigger problems as a whole, which would make a prospective employer's answer to any such question irrelevant. And if that's the case, why ask?

Another way to put it: it's not employees and consumers putting "all eggs in one basket." It's the economy as a whole. If there's one thing that the 2008 financial crisis proved, it's that if the banking system gets gummed up, second and third order effects very quickly begin to set in and ruin things for everybody.

Now, if you know how to reconstruct the banking system to avoid this, I'd like to hear it. But as long as my employer's payroll funds aren't stored under the CEO's mattress, I think I'm good with that.
At $29 * 7 * 12 per year it became way cheaper for us to just piece together functionality we needed from nginx+cgit+homegrown database to store users/repos/acl/push info and a few git hooks written in a few lines of PHP. The cost is now independent of the number of developers using the system.

So far it did cost ~1 month of paying for github in dev time and I can't imagine it costing much more when we'll want to add some automation on top of the list of accepted pushes/ref updates, for which we did not have a need for so far.

Certainly beats installing 1GiB debian package of selfhosted gitlab and having to figure out why some stupid ruby service is eating increasing amounts of hundreds of MiB of RAM on an empty gitlab instance while doing nothing at all.

That's $2.5k/yr that can be put into something else.

When developers do operations... I guess. :D
My opinion, what's the return on joining yet another social media network so you can receive ads and see messages from bots screaming about mRNA vaccines and Hunter Biden's laptop? That's one extreme. The other is highly controlled content from dictators-for-life (e.g. unelected moderators or technology company employees) who will ban/shut you down for expressing an opinion that doesn't fit their narrative. It's fine until it's you they decide to cancel. The only way to avoid that is be an invisible lurker.. but then, why not read a newspaper or a dedicated topic website instead? At least everyone writing in a newspaper isn't intellectually challenged or a bot.

Using your real name isn't enjoyable anymore because people look for things to use against you. Did you say or do something 25 years ago that today people will penalize you for? They'll search for it. So, using a handle.. ok, see the first paragraph above.

What does one get out of joining new social media? You can be amazingly creative or eloquent. Nobody is going to care and whatever it was, it is forgotten the next day. Create or dialogue for your own entertainment, at the end of the day, it's completely unproductive. No one will remember your contribution, no one will even remember you existed the next day.

I think we've all seen enough photos of people's dinners or pets.

So what is left?

I think one problem is audience reach. It's all-or-nothing. Do you really always want to broadcast to the world? (Twitter) or do you always want to broadcast only to your "friends" (Facebook) or do you want to collect names but never speak out of fear of workplace politics (LinkedIn).

One social media network I thought was interesting, but is dead now due to mismanagement (as usual) was Google+. It had the concept of circles. It was more work absolutely, but you could tag people with being a family member, or a highschool friend or a circle of people who climbed Mt. Everest with you. The advantage of this would be you could write about how great this nylon rope is, and not have it go to your family or work colleagues in the non-rope industry, or whatever.

It took years, but Google+ was STARTING to grow, then Google as usual decided to kill it off, along with Hangouts which was their iMessage competitor (included SMS at one point).
Last week Meta said they're working on a Twitter clone - and that you'd be able to log into it with your Instagram credentials. Theoretically that still has a chance of "taking off." (Both in terms of attracting a large user base, and then in earning significant advertising revenue.)

But somewhere in there is an answer to why other alternatives haven't had viral uptake. Basically it's the network effect. If everyone is on your service and there's a ton of cool stuff, then everyone else wants to be on it too. (And "fear of missing out" kicks in.) But it's hard to jumpstart that critical mass.

Maybe part of that is it's hard to get people excited about Twitter -- since the functionality has been around for over 15 years now. (Mastodon actually had a worse interface, which probably slowed down its adoption.) What I'm wondering is if the Twitter-verse will splinter into little local micro-services. (Imagine a Twitter-like service, just for students at one university, or for one city....)
I agree! I wish companies were more ready to retain their talent after a shift in business priority. It's far too rare these days.

My current employer is one that actually does do this, thankfully.

Agreed that sneering isn't productive.

I don't know that I'd put a guy who owns a truck, a leaf blower, a lawn mower, a collection of garden sheers/related tools, and has a client base; I wouldn't put him in the same category as a bank CEO who makes was $5 million a year. Maybe I should though because the guy with the truck's been sold this load about freedom and entrepreneurial spirit that a FANG engineer making $300k/yr didn't buy. Personally, the guy with a yacht, a jet, a summer and winter home, who has enough money to never work another day in his life if he doesn't want to; that guy is definitely burgeoise. The guy that's gonna go hungry and have trouble making rent if he's not outside in the heat of the summer midday sun to landscape most days, just because he owns the truck he drives? Feels like I have a lot more in common with him, which makes it hard to want to throw him against the wall when the revolution comes. Maybe joining the burgeoise should have a $1 million initiation fee, but includes a free subscription to Netjets.
Yep; Canada retains the structure of a colonial outpost, just without the colonial master.

You had me until the last sentence:

Anglers have an enormous impact on fish and wildlife stocks.

In English, the term "anglers" generally means hobby fishers -- hook and line, if you like. Are you saying that individuals have an enormous impact? I doubt it. I tried to Google about it, but I find nothing. The damage is mostly caused by industrial fishing and global warming.

These are credit reporting agencies, not credit rating agencies. Credit rating agencies are primarily for directly assessing a credit report for the likelihood of the debtor to either pay back, or default, on a loan.

On the other hand, the 3 credit reporting agencies (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) work by simply gathering credit information, and using industry standard (and usually shared[0]) scoring models to assign a FICO or Vantage score to individuals, after which the lender can use any of their own classification criteria to deny credit or assign an interest rate.

However, they are dependent on the returns to offer banking customers interest, if there are other ways for customers to earn enough interest to change banks, it will force the sale of the the bond at the loss.

And, it repeats itself, realized losses, followed by customer uncertainty, followed by more withdrawals.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think you would want that - it should match with your driver version. Weird stuff happens with minor version mismatches
It's not really a more technical explanation. I get how localstorage and cookies are different. But it's a technicality the user doesn't care about. The problem is third party cookies.

Self-hosted solutions where only the site I visit tracks me is not a problem even for me as a privacy extremist. But calling it "no cookies" and putting the id in localstorage is misleading or misunderstanding the problem people have with cookies in the first place.

Don't get me wrong I like the effort and was looking for something similar before just implementing my own solution with regular nginx logs. But this is a space where trust is important.

It looks like gitea supports running a proc_receive hook which can be used to implement pull requests over git:// using a client like https://git-repo.info/en/

(full disclosure) I had written a proof of concept implementation that allows you to use the git-repo.info client to send PRs over git protocol, which you can find here https://github.com/pullreqr/pullreqr_githook

The primary impediment seems partially to be social/coordination where distributed git requires clients to be set up apriori, but it does work in cases where you are using it in house, etc.

I'd kind of be happy to spend more time on it, but with no one actually running the protocol publicly, there is no one to send/receive PRs to or from.
Their government reflects their citizens behaviors.

when dealing with HVAC you either have to have a friend on the inside who has a license for mechanical or you have to buy everything on eBay... because you're right most of the supply houses won't talk to you unless you have an HVAC license of some sort, That's why most of the stuff I get is on eBay.... things like capacitors, blower motors, heat strips, R410A refrigerant etc either eBay or Facebook marketplace is the best place for it.... and then being in the house rental business I'm constantly buying this equipment and then just having people install it because it's just cheaper that way.... I save about 5 to $7,000 on average per install doing it that way
The story has been buried with seo spam, but they fired most of their central/liberal reporters, and are now trying to compete for the Fox News demographic. Saying trump lied about the 2020 election outcome was one bright line that got some of them fired.
