B] The bonds themselves aren't risky, they're just long term securities that don't fully appreciate in value for a long time. A very quick change in environment, much higher interest rates, result in immediate liquidation only at far less desired prices. A buyer can still hold them to term and get their full value; it's just there are better investments.

A] I can't really speak to real-estate, but generally as a consumer I find the market incentives are misaligned to what should be socially desired results. There's too much darn rent seeking.
> If someone's counting Ultimate subscriptions as "cloud gaming subscriptions", they would be heavily inflated from "cheaper bundle" users and users from countries where cloud gaming isn't even available.

The report states that Xcloud is available in a handful of countries, and compares it to its rivals, but the point they make is about available content, which concerns the acquisition.

In other words, even if Microsoft accounted for 60 or 50% of the global cloud gaming numbers, CMA foresees a scenario where they use an extremely popular franchise to increase the value of their offering, while decreasing the attractiveness of their competitors. They also back it with some numbers that suggest that CoD could drive platform adoption up.

> Our survey asked CoD gamers on PlayStation to think about the time when they bought their most recent PlayStation. The survey asked what they would have done if the most recent CoD game they owned at that time had not been available on PlayStation, but had been available on Xbox and PC.

> Results indicated that 24% of respondents would have bought an Xbox, a PC, or no gaming device at all instead of a PlayStation.
This is gossip protocol not a federated thing.

assuming it's the same as Scuttlebutt (also gossip protocol) a relay is literally just a relay. There's no "home server". You don't have an account on anyone's machine. You just shove data out to "people" who are listening to you. In scuttlebutt the relays are configured so that anyone can ask it to "follow" them and then they send their data to it. Anyone who listens to that relay can get any data the relay has.

in scuttlebutt the problem was that I never felt like i could trust a relay to exist for more than 6 months, so i just followed every one i could. No-one wants to set up a relay, and relays have to have a static domain / ip so that you know where to look for them. It's not like tor where you can just leave your computer on and that's good enough. I expect the same problems here.
Statistically, about 16% of the time.
I tend to switch every few weeks between Apple's current wireless keyboard and the Extended Keyboard II with an iMate attached. I've had the iMate for about 25 years, and I've also been wondering about the battery. Thanks to the author for finding out what it's for! I do have the same gripe as the author regarding the iMate not distinguishing between left and right modifier keys, though.
Anyhow, after all those years, it's indeed amazing how the whole ancient setup still works flawlessly with my current ARM Mac.
>Cultures don't think, individuals do.

I was up to 3-4 weeks of vacation at a job I had pretty much the whole 90s. During that time, I took a few month-long vacations to places like Nepal. I had coworkers who basically questioned out loud "How could you do that? I could never go away for that length of time." Depends on the company and role of course. (I was subsequently with a very small company and it would have been difficult especially for non-summer months.) Never had an issue and, in fact, they pulled out all the stops when it was time for me to leave to try to get me to stay. But a lot of people assume that norms are carved in stone and they often aren't, especially if you're valued.
You configure your client post your content to one or more relays. You can use relays that you setup for just yourself, paid relays, and/or free public relays.

When you follow someone, or someone follows you, the follower's client will get a list of relays the person they want to follow is posting to. The follower can connect to any of those relays and get any new content.

On many relays it's possible to get a firehose feed of everything posted to that relay. On free public relays this firehose feed may contain lots of spam accounts.
Buckle Up, Dorothy
A former colleague of mine, born and raised in the USSR, liked to quip that there was only one minor difference in the way freedom of expression was implemented in the USSR and in the West.

Both places guaranteed the freedom to express oneself, but only the West guaranteed your freedom also after you'd expressed yourself.
The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act exempted banks with less than $250 billion in assets from most of the Dodd-Frank Act. They no longer had to have stress tests and it lowered liquidity levels. Under Dodd-Frank, the level was $50 billion.

So far all four bank failures that have made headlines recently (Silvergate, Silicon Valley, Signature and now First Republic) were all under the new threshold. I think Silvergate was under the old threshold as well, but that still leaves 3 out of 4 that could have been prevented if Dodd-Frank were left in place.

Also: "new legislation added on top of existing framework" can result in less regulation if the new legislation nullifies or repeals or (in this case) exempts some participants from current regulations.
To be fair, while all of those things are true (and in fact the poor state of many rivers is more due to farming and to fully consented but still high-nitrate effluents from waste water treatment than to CSOs) the industry has really not even bothered to defend itself here. It's like they're just cowed by the criticism.
My city offers a big festival day about 4 times per year, but these are not exclusive. I think they are more expansive where they will accept all kinds of things, even clothes, and third-party recyclers are on-site to accept and process them.

The actual recycling center is open about 4 days a week and accepting a lot of nasty stuff on a regular basis. Thank God for that. In-city ID is mandatory.
It's fairly common for a majority—even a large majority—of people to want something, but to be unable to make it happen without a law. Coordination problems are real, and they are everywhere.

And that's just at a basic game-theory level—quirks or dysfunctions of political systems can make passing a law extremely difficult, too, even given super-majority voter support.
First, I specifically said that textmate takes less effort for "the most basic highlighting", that would be keywords, literals, comments, etc. Trying to encode a CFG in it would obviously be painful, but why would you? Use an actual parser at that point, but you might as well use a correct one.

Second, there's this idea that compiler parsers are inherently slow and require a full build to use or something. As if tree-sitter parsers were using some magic tech unavailable to compilers, and most new ones weren't modular or didn't offer APIs. It's not even hypothetical, increasingly more modern languages have semantic highlighting in real-time as part of the toolchain.

And in fact, I actually wanted to use that tech in a compiler, I said I tried to use tree-sitter for one, but that's where my big issue with tree-sitter came in: It would return parse trees that blatantly didn't match the grammar I wrote, and not mark them as bad syntax in any way. That's not error recovery, that's swallowing errors. If it does that, I'd rather work on making toolchain parsers better than fighting tree-sitter.

Even the "run the parser on the editor" part is solvable, since tree-sitter parsers are being shipped as WASM. A WASM interface for running possibly incremental parsers (that tree-sitter would also use) sounds more interesting, really.
Is it? I don't really see any surge of young communism ideologies... If anything I'd say it is exactly as popular as it's always been.

I cannot speak to any but Canada, but the MOST people here do not want pure communism, they want Scandinavian/Nordic socialism. Our policies tend to venture into a weird combination of that and American policy copies, so we end up with a very weird mix.
What we see with our eyes is not the present. It is the past taking into account the speed of light light and time the mind needs to process it.
That is a political decision that the USA made, and one could that also be changed through the political process - by subsidizing all manner of social benefits (healthcare, housing, food, and so on) the US government enables private businesses to hire employees at a lower wage without social upheaval. I would argue this is inferior to providing no social benefits whatsoever in order that corporations would have to bear more of the cost, rather than indirectly through taxes.
historical rates don't matter because a significant chunk of the people making decisions weren't around for that time period. And even those who were around were still incentivized to make risky decisions to try and find yield with 0% rates

we've got a lot of fake growth on paper fueled by 0% rates that never existed and has to be shaken out of the system. The fundamental problem is economists thinking they can twist dials on the financial system and play god to prevent recessions and depressions, which will just result in rarer but more extreme financial crises when reality hits them in the face

the economy is fundamentally less efficient and less productive due to the covid pandemic(people not working) and the economic decoupling from China and Russia. Printing money doesn't change those fundamentals, the end result in the short term will be lowered living standards for everybody. More money chasing fewer goods equals inflation, not complicated

We have a rep for being 'loud' (read, more extroverted than a lot of societies) but I'd challenge the assumption that we're known to be ruder than most countrys. At most we're more likely to be ignorant of local norms due to less international travel.
Xerox also owned the GEM is with had a Mac like windows system.

They eventually had a PC add on board to the 6085 (the 8010 hardware successor) that could show a PC within a Star window.

My guess is that the Lisa image was an example of how something like that might work.

You mean like what they did with Halo? That worked out alright.
No one is pretending anything. It's still an extra step that adds transparency even if it is not a huge barrier. But in reality, that is a lot larger barrier than just direct access 24/7.

I wonder at what point the difficulty of this sort of problem will become a significant political pressure to homogenize laws worldwide or incentivize new types of international cooperation.
I think tree maintenance is a great example of work that we should be automating because it's really dangerous and machines can do higher quality work than a human. The "tipping point" of when it will be cheaper to buy a machine vs hire a skilled laborer is unknown, but I'd be surprised if anything more than the most rote codemonkey programming was automated before this sweet spot of dangerous, skilled labor.
This. If you are a "person of interest" you can not escape, if you are not... why bother beyond protecting yourself from petty criminals?

This is something that is somewhat common in Frankfurt, Germany. I got to meet some interesting people this way when I visited a couple of times.
> If it's not distinguishable then there's no difference period.

That's true only if you believe that the world only exists inside humans' minds.

If you believe in objective reality, then things that are different but not distinguishable by humans can exist.
I do remember using my Extended Keyboard II on ADB Macs, and the keyboard viewer did distinguish between left and right modifier keys. This might not apply to other ADB keyboards, though.
Recently, I started a project that draws simple illustrations using GPT. It began as a lighthearted curiosity, but eventually grew into something bigger, something that makes me smile when “a cat” or “a tesla car” turns into a recognizable sketch with a hint of creativity. It is private yet, but I will be releasing soon. I cherry picked a few illustrations and published them here: https://drawmeasheep.net/

Not sure if it is on his resume, but once it was pretty well known that he is a high performer, he became very vocal about it. I think he is pretty invested in de-stigmatizing past drug addictions.

You don't need a federal bank to solve that problem. A simple regulation would suffice requiring private banks to service these customers in some fashion.
And there's a lot of people who dream about going back to the Soviet glory days.

And with how the war against Ukraine is going, Russia is on a fast track to relive those memories.
One explanation I've found pretty accurate: When the young start to become educated (late teens, early 20's) they face the realization that they will be entering the world on the bottom of the economic totem pole.

There are two primary responses to this:

1. Realize that the real world is competitive and difficult and much self-improvement and hard work will be needed to thrive. These people put their heads down and get to work.

2. Refusal to address the truth of #1. Frame the real world as some unwinnable game to avoid putting in the required effort to succeed. Distract yourself with structural problems (real or imaginary) far too big for you to have any effect on but keep you from the painful self-improvement that is really needed.

Communism preys on the people who are susceptible to the second path.
At a music festival last summer I counted 4 drones in the sky monitoring 24/7 over 5 days. Never saw them come down. They were each tethered to a base station which seemed to run electric and probably returned a video feed.

I expect to see this everywhere.
I recently released Card Buddy [1], a Mac app to help you organize ideas on small index cards on a canvas. You can pick from different canvas styles which can auto-arrange your cards to make it easier to reorder them for a narrative, or pick from a grid-based canvas which lets you stack cards. You can drag images in as well and create a mood board like Pinterest.

I'm planning on releasing an iPad version with drawing so you can sketch out storyboards with it.

I don't think this adequately describes the experience or guidance, for a lot of believers. Grappling with unbelief is embedded in the synoptic tradition itself, and so we know it was present and acknowledged at the very earliest beginnings of christianity. Many prominent and highly influential early church fathers wrote about it, and acknowledged belief as an unstable and often fleeting state to be anticipated and received with gratitude. "The silence" of god is one of the most common themes in christian literature. Some churches address it explicitly in their catechism.

The public performance of belief is universal orthopraxy for christians, I think. But privately and with trusted confidants the conversation is far more nuanced than "ignore the weird stuff."
