I don't know why this is getting downvoted.

I have been arguing for years that they'd never get rates back to where they were pre-GFC as so much debt has been taken on at low rates. Increasing rates to pre-GFC levels will have a massive impact on the ability of borrowers to service debt and push down asset prices.

Now that they're trying to put rates back to pre-GFC levels we can see that playing out. If they choose to continue of this path it will lead to a significant recession.

If Jobs didn’t return in 1996—

* Apple would still be wasting its time marketing 420 SKUs of beige Macintosh, along with its panoply of zero-value-add peripherals

* Apple would never have tried to make an iPod, which was, for Apple, an insanely out-of-left-field hobby project driven by Jobs

* Without the iPod, there would be no iTunes Store, which near-single-handedly pulled the music industry into its post-Napster era

* There would be no iPad, a project inspired by Jobs’ personal reaction to a dinner with Gates

* There would be no iPhone, a project spun off from iPad development and fast-tracked for earlier release

* If Apple ever did develop a phone or tablet, it probably would have been based on NewtonOS and fail to crack 1% market share

* Android would have stayed on course to be a competitor to the Blackberry

Redacting PDFs is similarly tricky. These days I use macOS Preview (they have a new-ish feature that explicitly allows for redacting) which works but I sometimes still open it in an editor to make sure the data isn't there lol.

Where I live is extremely left-leaning and wealthy, and there is intense hate for charters and educational reform of any kind.

The moon is being bombed routinely with space debris so technically is an interesting engineering problem.

The same meteorites that create craters in the moon would fall over a nuclear plant so I assume that would need to be put in the face of the moon that is closer to Earth. Otherwise this would mean having several local areas of the moon contaminated and forbidden forever in a few years. Not wind, animals or water in the moon, so apart of the ejected dust, radioactivity should remain in the same place at least
I'd argue deposits are being destroyed as banks no longer have the assets to make depositors whole. Of course central banks seem to be adopting the position that no depositors will lose any money and everyone will be bailed out.
Well the trick is to ensure that the mass only becomes critical right when you want it to. So -- I imagine -- most of the work in making a working atomic bomb is more about the precisely-controlled explosions that detonate it, not the fission itself.

Suppose the FDIC decides they are keeping the 250k limit. The logical outcome is for companies to leverage fintech services that help spread corporate deposits among multiple banks.

The problem is now you have high correlation across that pool of banks. If depositors get scared and a bankrun occurs, they are now pulling money from the entire pool. The 2008 bank failures provided a small glimpse into that correlated risk.

How many banks today are capitalized sufficiently to handle a bankrun of the scale that occurred at SVB? SVB's balance sheet is not unique, all banks have significant unrealized losses due to bonds, mortgages, and any other kind of debt that they own. During the pandemic, the Fed reduced the reserve requirement to zero so banks need to keep 0% of customer money 'in the vault'.

Phone calls also aren't direct p2p and can be trivially recorded, so that's irrelevant. Google Chat does not retain messages when history is off, according to their own documentation:

https://support.google.com/vault/answer/7657597?hl=en#zippy=...

"Not covered: history off"

If it turns out their documentation is wrong and off-the-record chats aren't actually off the record then yes, you will be correct. But where is the evidence that it's the case? Google Apps is used by hundreds of thousands of companies and it has a sophisticated infrastructure for implementing retention limits and legal holds. Why are people here assuming that all that work has been done by incompetents?
Thank you for the answer! I agree with you.
Thanks for clarifying the situation.

In that specific scenario, I agree with the common sentiment of the thread. My original comment definitely was not referring to that type of a situation, so I can totally see now why it got (totally understandably) downvoted.
That's nonsense. Even if the system does not explicitly create something called a "record" by the developers of the app, the conversation is in a written form and stored somewhere (the server's RAM, or whatever). That's a record, however brief it is. If you destroy it, you've just destroyed a record. It's as simple as that.
The article touches on both points you make:

"Our study’s sample population—mostly white and relatively well-off professional women deciding about marriage in the early 1990s—does limit the conclusions we can draw from it with confidence. For instance, our all-female sample cannot tell us anything about the effects of marriage on men. More rigorous work in this area is needed, since prior research indicates that marriage promotes men’s longevity and health even more strongly than women’s."

I almost never log on to my Mastodon account. When I do, I always say I should do so more as the vast majority of the people I really enjoyed following on Twitter are on there. But the thing is, I just hate the Mastodon UI. It's so clunky. And the lack of things like centralized search are a big issue for me. I dislike the federated nature of it. In short, it's just not to me. Which sucks, as that's where a lot of the content I want to see currently lives. But such is life.

Meanwhile, even though my Twitter feed is a shell of what it once was, I wind up there several times a day. And it's not "because of the algorithm", I have been using the algorithm-free feed for years now.
I know the not-so-strict laws in my jurisdiction, yet my servant of Google will never deign to permit my recording of any phone calls that go through its delicate body.

Technically yes. The legal term for someone on temporary work authorization without an intent to immigrate would be something like "non-immigrant alien resident". The common term would be... expat.

The document says he set his own relevant chats to delete after 24 hours. I think we are quibbling over what "delete" means. When he set them to auto delete after 24 hours he was essentially deleting them. It's like saying I've never deleted anything- I move files to my recycle bin and then my computer does what it does.
It's not about talking, it's about written records. When you're under a legal hold, you better not delete written records.

Actually Github only recently gained one of the best features bitbucket has always had, which is a file explorer on the left in PRs. I have no idea how people could use Github without that.

Now one thing that Github has is integration. You get lots of stuff integrated for free where Atlassian offerings are separate products. And you don't have to configure much.

You can't compare Github to just bitbucket. You have to compare it to a combination of bitbucket, bamboo with Elastic agents and Jira. With a competent admin this is all easily set up and administered. And especially if you are a largish company Jira is the killer vs. Github issues. Especially if said company is somewhat process heavy which Jira is just the best at. So configurable and extensible. Of course a small startup or open source project will prefer the zero fuss Github.

And of course as devs we don't care much about those parts. But you did ask why they are still alive.

I am referring to the usa and creation of money supply. As another person pointed out one entity does not control the supply of money. The private banks are responsible for loaning(creating) new money. The fed just ensures those banks have the means to do so if market forces warrant it.

Although I agree with your point, a large imposing centralized force will ultimately lead to a controlling singular entity over time in such a system. But won't go sk far to say thats the way it has to be.

Notably, the ICC isn’t the only organization that is involved in war crimes tribunals, nor was it the first.

The US and all allied powers, including Russia, were signatories to the Nuremberg Principles[0] which we used to prosecute the Nazis for “waging a unilaterally aggressive war.” All signatories agreed this was a war crime. What’s changed?

For the record, I think Putin should be tried for war crimes based on his invasion of Ukraine. I also believe the US should be held to the same standard.

Can relate. But, that said, there are a couple of minor points I'd chide the author on

1) if you're fiddling with the CSS you're sort-of doing work avoidance. this was probably a sign that your interest and commitment was waining, there was a "why" in this.

2) there's a lot to be said for maintaining a discipline. Things I don't like doing which have some upside in the wide or for me personally, like exercise I do because I have to, not because I want to! (maybe she benefits from exercising her writing muscle in ways she doesn't relate to writing this?)

But, I totally identified with an "i'm over it" vibe and with the decline in active engagement.

I recommend podcasting! the reason being, it's great for the 2-heads format and you get the active engagement of a conversation with at least one other person. Plus, you can use the transcription to drive a blog.

> central banks seem to be adopting the position that no depositors will lose any money and everyone will be bailed out

Not the Fed per se. And that’s the point. Quantity of deposits in the system is preserved. Wealth down. Fed support of banks up. How this balances is uncertain, but nothing is unilaterally inflationary.
I am not an international diplomat, but my understanding is that international treaties on large issues are usually divided into two types: frameworks and protocols.

Frameworks essentially state "This is something we all want, and here are the boundaries of what we're agreeing to talk about."

Protocols build within existing frameworks and state "We agree to do these specific things in pursuit of the framework's bigger goal."

Rationale presumably being that it's easier to get a bunch of diplomats to agree on general goodness, and then everyone has already bought in when it comes time for the more difficult concrete negotiations.

This is a framework stating something like "Protecting marine life is good."

They probably went through the clearance process, with information only kept from them in order to see how they would fare without it.

Evidence consistent with this is that they were allowed to design experiments and get results of them back. So they were given classified info just in a very controlled way.
At least for mains electricity, there is a good argument for using the derived W and the doubly-derived Wh (J / s derives W, W * s, derives Wh). It makes sense because electricity is not (for practical purposes, historically) stored by consumers, only consumed at the time of use.

For virtually all applications, the instant power is of overriding utility: power is how bright your light bulb is, how fast your hairdryer dries, how large a wire is required when building your house. (Since Voltage is constant, this could even be given as Amps!). In addition, most home appliances don't have a meterable output aside from operation time: if your run your lightbulb for an hour, you get an hour of light but that's not really something you can measure. If you run your bicycle for an hour, you've gone somewhere which is a distance you can measure!

Accumulative consumption of electricity is not really important for anything save for billing, so if you all you know is Watts and hours, Wh is a useful unit.

For transmission and distribution networks, even the Watt and Wh are relegated to secondary position, the VA (volt-amp) and VAh are more useful (since Vrms x Arms != Wrms, due to power factor/phase shift). For one bit of infrastructure, the Amps are the most important operational consideration (as V is approximately constant) and reporting as VA is useful to compare with other equipment running at a different voltage.
I think a good example of the Jaccard Index is from the paper Lazy Prices[1] in which the authors use it to measure diffs in a company's annual and quarterly reports. They also use other similarity measures (cosine, minimum edit, simple) so you get a better understanding of how each applies to textual similarity as a whole.

Thats one of the things on my short list of unsolved probs. People remember oddly specific and arbitrarily old details. Clearly not a lossless memory, but also not an agnostic token window that starts dropping stuff after n tokens.

I think we agree then that a plain superficial model gets you surprisingly far, but does lose the plot. It is certainly enough for things that are definable purely as and within text (the examples I gave). Beyond that who knows.
A cursory google search suggests that cohabitating couples converge on the same gut biome among various other things like good habits but also bad habits.
