I don't know any "ordinary" people that go around telling racist nazi-type "jokes."

This isn't some kind of nuanced topic, the facts of the matter are evident, there's just nazis and nazi-enablers playing interference and trying to fabricate uncertainty many of which are in this very thread.

As we learned long ago there are very effective tools that defeat social conservatives such as nazis, entertaining their ideas is not one of those tools.

Income inequality is good, and fighting markets is like trying to stop the tide.

It's accumulated wealth that is the problem (and leads to the corruption of free markets and democracy).

Policies should be focused on that - taxing wealth rather than work, and encouraging profitable investments rather than sitting on assets.

Whereas now the so-called "left-wing" policies are awful - rent control is popular in Europe despite being an unfair disaster in Sweden. There are high taxes on income and high VAT, whilst inheritance, land and wealth taxes have been abolished, greatly hurting social mobility while benefiting established, inherited wealth.

Same with a lot of focus on patching up symptoms - like not prosecuting low-value shoplifting, allowing squatting on "empty" properties, etc. rather than trying to improve market conditions, education and training and the housing market, etc. to ensure that everyone could get a much better salary to begin with.

I have read up on it but I don't get the appeal (i.e. what the benefits are).

My US bank allows me to write checks (I don't actually have a checkbook, but I use bill pay which it will do electronically if it can and by issuing a paper check if not) and make various transfers, like Zelle. This has comparatively very limited payment capability. How would you pay your mortgage? There are even very strict restrictions on moving your cash out!

It does have a higher interest rate than some banks, at least at the moment, but you can get these rates from competitors without the other limitations.

In general all the current Apple banking offers (apple card, apple cash, apple savings account) seem pretty meh, and definitely far from great, much less "insanely great". The only Apple financial product I consider even worth remembering was financing your mac purchase back in 1984.

It's also a weird space for Apple to get into: it's highly regulated, has limited (at best) connection/leverage/flywheel with the rest of their product line or company capability, and doesn't even use anything apple-specific (not even their enormous cash horde).

>I don't like to say it in front of my wife, but I did sort of neglect her sometimes; I needed to study. You have to neglect things if you intend to get what you want done. There's no question about this.

As someone that got married during their PhD and is now finishing up and reflecting: it isn't worth it. Neglecting the people in your life that love you in the pursuit of "science" is no different than neglecting them because you have a drug habit or because you're an inveterate gambler or because you're chasing fame and fortune. The science will get done regardless and the only thing you accomplish is ensuring your own interests. Suffice it to say I'm taking steps make sure my next gig has more room.

Economics claims to be a science

Not really. A social science maybe. Most economics schools sit in the liberal arts departments of universities. Plenty of economists have egos big enough to talk like their work is science, but I'd challenge you to provide a modern example of an economist defending economics as an actual science.
I was just in Vietnam. Anytime a vendor tried this I just walked in most instances.. I was with a group that were from Vietnam, so it was easier to spot. And haggling is part of their culture in markets. I am fine to haggle, and heck even realize that as a certain point, happy to contribute to someones betterment if it cost me an extra 20k dong (aka less than 1$).

But there were definitely parts of the country where, based on how you looked, the starting price would be x and if you looked different it would be y. If i felt i was being taken for a ride, i would just walk. I even had a street vendor see i went to the next person selling the same thing but was less on the take and bought from them. This guy started following me and basically harrassing me. I had to actually raise my voice to get him to walk away.

That said, as a result my favorite parts of the trip were in my buddies hometowns where tourists werent common and thus, I was treated as a local, or at least a curiosity (I definately got looks at some restaurants as they were shocked i would eat the same things everyone else did without hesitation). In a few cases some asked to take picture but it was always warm welcome.

In certain parts I felt preyed upon and if you made eye contact it was like you were "hooked". I am much more likely to walk away from those encounters. That said, i dont like tourist traps in general, even in my hometown stateside.

We even tested this theory in some places where my buddy would go first and place his order. Then I would get the exact same thing and when we sat compare the cost. It was interesting to say the least.

Also what we noticed was that in his hometown, this never occurred. We paid the same anytime we tried this, even in the markets. It was to a point that by the end of the trip i was going out on my own and just getting what I wanted and most cases if my basic understanding of Vietnamese wasnt sufficient i was even comfortable fanning out some bills and having them pull what they needed.

I haven't, but I'm guessing the interest rate (4.15%) on its own is a big draw
I was just in Amsterdam. One of our locals there said that, although there's an ongoing switch to just tapping contactless credit cards, he advised just getting a contactless transit chip card because even if it cost a few dollar more it would more reliably work everywhere. Things have improved in most places over time but it can still be confusing for the occasional visitor.

I remember at some point pre-pandemic I was in the UK with a friend and we had all these these different tickets/receipts were trying to use to go through a turnstile and doubtless really pissing off the people lined up behind us but it was super-unintuitive what we needed to stick into the machine.

only oracle knows. and they don’t share answer yet, on this site or any other

only public news so far is extremely brief twitter mention of future switch to separate LTS releases from feature releases

big picture, hard to see what would motivate them to major re-invest in current mysql product model! amazon, planetscale, and co all profit off of oracle’s mysql server development efforts. and oracle does not get anything in return

assume this why more and more mysql dev efforts go to saas-only product like “mysql heatwave”!

If what you care about is rivalling global powers, it's hard to beat US at this game. Conversely, does it really matter one way or the other if the citizens don't see the benefits?

Maybe it's coincidence, but I like to believe he was trying to remind me they needed more suet in the most annoying way.

Interest expenses are deductible from all businesses taxes. (Wouldn't make sense if they weren't, as a money losing company could still be forced to pay income tax.) So If I build an apartment building and rent out the units, my interest expenses are deducted, and nobody is arguing with that. So if I buy a house and live in it, why shouldn't I be able to deduct the same?

> It does make sense to not work on incremental things for merely publications so it is definitely good advice.

True but unfortunately this is how funding works based on what I saw during my time working at various labs.

You need to provide enough evidence that what you are after is going to "work". Most of the brand new ideas get resources by repurposing data from existing funded projects. If you don't have what you need, you finangle the funded project to produce the data the new idea needs.

I'm all for not syncing resources into crazy ideas that will never work but current state of affairs (it's getting worse) is too conservative
> I don't think I've ever seen planes classified as public transport

In remote parts of the world, planes absolutely should be classified as public transport. Remote towns in Alaska, for example, are essentially inaccessible without bush planes.

However, planes are expensive to operate on a per-passenger basis, and in most places there are cheaper ways to facilitate helping people move around, especially since most trips from most people are short-distance.

Img tag was important, but it doesn't mean that web was text only before the tag was introduced: people were linking to pictures in the same way how would one link to any other resource, and when you opened the link, the picture was shown in a new window.
My general opinion on the economic situation in my country (UK) is that capitalism just doesn't work under parameters in which there's no competition.

If individuals back themselves into a corner in which they "have" to live in place XYZ and "have" to do career XYZ and so on and so forth, but are relying on others to make this work (e.g. they don't have wealth), then they're going to get nailed because they are working from a really bad negotiating position.

I don't see how socialism and unionizing etc fixes this because the prime mover has to be that people actually want to change the situation and put effort in to do so.

There needs to be a valve. Like, if I don't get paid enough as X, I go and work as Y. If rent gets too high in A, I go and live in B.

I started with a diagnosis of reactive arthritis (still called Reiter's Syndrome at the time), after an intestinal infection. After 10 years of feeling fine and unmedicated, but with occasional flare-ups, I suddenly went downhill and my diagnosis was changed to ankylosing spondylitis (modified New York criteria). To my knowledge, there is very little research on the separation or progression between reactive arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
And you can bet your bippy that AI planning will be tried. At least twice. (“We weren’t doing it right the first time.”)

Central planning could work, if exact equality of outcome was the target, the range of commodities produced was restricted, and people were forbidden to trade goods amongst themselves (and very strongly punished for doing so.)

But, who wants to live like that?

Adding Support for HashiCorp Cloud Agent to OS Terraform Enterprise Alternative
Hi all,

I've been working on (what turned out to be a fairly large) proof of concept open source Terraform Cloud/Enterprise alternative, Terrarun.

Over the past weekend, I've been adding support for the official Hashicorp Cloud agent, which is now working.

The entire project is fairly hacky at the moment (lacking tests, a good UI etc.) - partially because has to constantly change as I learn more things whilst implementing their APIs.

This particular adventure has been particularly note-worthy, given there is _no_ documentation for the agent APIs and, given that I haven't signed up for a Hashicorp Cloud account, absolutely no knowledge about how the communication _should_ work, without trial-and-error and cryptic messages :D

Hopefully if anyone else is trying to do the same, they can use as "some sort" of a reference to see how the APIs should work (though, I'm not saying they're absolutely complete - the agent seems to be a little lax on missing attributes)

Needless to say, I could find absolutely no resources, so hopefully this will help someone at some point :D

https://github.com/MatthewJohn/terrarun/commit/5900c7bfed6c4f66cb71ac84f694eb5003187039

(and yes, apologies for the license littered across the code, I've been meaning to fix it - I've previously preferred to provide a "real" open source license when a project is at the point I think it's usable, stable/trustworthy and something people might want to run/fork)

Many thanks :)

"with modern networking, data speeds and computing capacity,"

Sounds like some 5G level hype right there.
Thanks for sharing this, I came across the same material in a different format (either slides or may be a video couple of years back, can't exactly remember). What stuck to me is "If you are not working on an important problem, your work is not important". I tried to take a positive spin from this statement by considering whatever work I am currently doing is important enough to solve an important problem but it's really hard to convince yourself after some time when it is clearly not. Needless to say, I am still looking for that important problem.

So does this mean no more looking at deleted comments?

It's been awhile since I used one, but there were a bunch of sites that would "undelete" reddit comments. Which is super helpful because redditors seem to have a habit of retroactively deleting everything they posted, and deleted comments sometimes answer some question you're trying to figure out (e.g. (someone asks my question) -> [deleted comment] -> thanks! that fixed it!).

I'm imagining a sampled voice intoning this quote as I research the "Artificial Intelligence" tech tree in Alpha Centauri.
It is if you consider the meaning that was being communicated and not the technical dictionary definition of words.
I suspect there is more to it than what has been published. These are smart people that appear (to us) acting irrationally.
It seems like prompting the AI for a hint is a good way to get information to guess the right word.
Yet another unfortunate creep of the definition of "anonymous". AFAIK, Reddit does not have an anonymous framework for users to comment; they are assigned a username, and each username carries with it a profile, a reputation, and a post history. I have been made aware of some forums and services which strive to be truly anonymous, but Reddit ain't it.
So much hate for this article almost makes me have higher expectations than usual. There's a certain type of internet commenter who just don't seem to "get" any analysis that goes beyond the surface level, no matter what about. What's so wrong with writing a few paragraphs about how being in a Walmart actually makes you feel? By what exact mechanism does this cause offense and invite low-effort ridicule? Is it the perceived idea that the reader should now feel the same way as the author? (in that case you can easily get more enjoyment out of the article by letting that assumption go..). Is it simply the ostensible inflation of something simple by using an over-complicated style? (I find TFA no more grating than your average Paul Graham or Scott Alexander essay). Is it simply that the author signals in so many ways that they are on the other side of some big cultural divide? (sad, but possible..)
Damn, do you work in rheumatology? I rarely see explanations this detailed (and well-communicated) about autoimmune conditions, even when I'm going out of my way to look for them. Color me impressed.

> I'm struggling to see the substantive difference between an S&L and a credit union

S&Ls focussed on residential mortgages. Credit unions can issue credit cards, business loans, HELOCs, et cetera.

Historically, S&Ls had time deposits/CDs which they used to finance mortgages. Credit unions were like banks, but tied to a group, e.g. a church or fraternal organization. Over time, S&Ls started taking demand deposits and credit unions broadened the definition of a member to the point of meaninglessness.
