I would be speculating if there wasn't any noise about destroying the pipelines from at least one of the parties involved. From all the sound bytes I have heard, I have never heard the Russians saying that they will blow up the pipeline. I have always heard Americans talking about how blowing up the pipeline will be a good measure to stop Putin (which to their great disappointment hasn't done anything but make it worse for Germany and Europe). Even Biden said openly that he would "bring an end to Nord Stream 2". When pressed by a journalist on how he would "bring an end to Nord Stream 2" he said it unambiguously: "We will, I promise you we will be able to do it". So there is no ambiguity as to who blew it up.
Very much happy for them.

Indeed. ZIRP was a new thing [1]. My laymen understanding is these big banks got caught out making really stupid (in hindsight anyway) bets interest rate would stay near zero and ran into liquidity issues.

Is there a reason small banks wouldn't also make stupid bets like this? Maybe they have less money slushing around that isn't in loans or something.

The West German government created a report on the incidence of rape by occupying powers.

Investigators did massive interviews, surveys, etc.

The numbers for non-Soviet troops were low enough one could claim the rapes would have occurred regardless of whether the war happened.

An American soldier could be executed for raping a German woman. However, it was 100% legal for him to rape his wife.

By separating them from the one woman they were allowed to rape, and surrounding them with women they were strongly forbidden from raping, the war might very well have decreased it.

I don't think this is the problem. The confidence of the best answer won't always be the same. Sometimes there would be one answer that's significantly better than others, whereas other times there could be a lot of mediocre answers it's picking between. So having it spit out the confidence along with the answer could theoretically be useful.

What would be a challenge is what others noted in reply, that sometimes there would be multiple good answers, so low confidence wouldn't necessarily be a sign of a poor answer. (Though I expect work could be done there.)
Insolvent has a precise meaning in accounting. FRB was not insolvent. The book value of their bond and loan portfolio was accounted as held-to-maturity keeping it at cost value and not market value. As long as they could hold to maturity they'd be just fine.

The Fed put in a facility that was supposed to let banks borrow against their securities portfolio at their book value and not at their market value, plus on top of that there's also the discount window facility, which means FRB had plenty of access to capital to handle any withdrawals.

The FDIC is just on a power trip here. They don't _like_ that the market value of those securities is down based on the inverse relationship between yields and price. So they force killed the bank. There was ZERO need to do that, FRB could have just held the loans to maturity, and sure they'd lose some money on the interest they'd have to pay to borrow from the Feb to make up for lost deposits, but in no way were they insolvent and in need of a shut down.

In summer weeks it's more like 200-400 km a week.

Those "rent seekers" are the investors that provide you with capital to build something in the first place. They don't produce anything physical directly with their own hands, but if they don't provide the funds, then nobody else would either. The HN crowd of all people should understand this. Your salady doesn't come out of thin air. It comes from somebody believing in that the thing you are hopefully going to produce will hopefully eventually produce a profit that flows back to them. Without this believe, there would not be an investment in the first place and thus no salary for you.

Of course this leads to accumulation of wealth, which can be an issue for society if it goes to far. And I agree that that's happening and that we can't turn a blind eye to it. But the solution here is not to make villains out of investors, but to tax profits. Seems to be hard to get that into peoples heads though, especially in the U.S. where taxes are always viewed as something bad.
No, we have had lower „inflation“ according to the CPI which is a single number for a multi-dimensional and connected phenomenon. The real impact can be seen in the price of large city real estate, tech stocks or luxury goods. Those certainly didn’t have low price increases.

The extra money largely ended up there because a side effect of the stimulus was that safe investments had negative real yields. In response people chased any positive real yield. This is why Pension funds invested in crypto, they could not guarantee their promised growth with just treasuries and aaa bonds.

I have long complained about the orphan works problem and the need to free them up through copyright reform. This case is a quintessential example and copyright reformers should take note.
A good where consumers have inelastic demand does not mean that individual companies face inelastic demand curves - that's the whole point of competition. ie. It doesn't matter if you're willing to pay a lot to avoid starvation since no individual company is making profits off of having some market power to starve you.

The thought that food providers are colluding to raise prices is absurd and should serve as a reductio ad absurdum in these arguments, not a fundamental explanation for "greedflation".
Only if the competition thinks the increase in share is worth more than the increase in per unit profit.

And depending on the industry, there might not be much more to be gained by scaling up. Going from 45% to 60% of the market might not be more profitable than an extra few percent per unit.
I am amazed at how the UI is larger but the actually important information (the bloody URL) is smaller.

Ugh. This just makes me more and more mad at the media.

At first they led us to assume it was random, so naturally people blamed the city.

Then it came out it was an acquaintance, and the media completely lambasted him. Just look at the stories they wrote, and pictures they chose. He looked like a crazy person.

Then we find out he was potentially harming his sister in some way, but leave it just open enough to let the reader decide how and what.

A man was murdered, and that's sad and hardly ever OK. But I feel like the media is purposely dragging this out for shock views at this point, which is disgusting for all parties involved.

I myself have reserved much judgment, and will continue to do so until this is all settled. But I do know I'd probably have no qualms about stabbing someone who I knew was trying to introduce my child or SO to hard drugs. I don't have a sister to compare.

I'm not claiming this is what's happening, or even comparable, so please don't take this comment that way. In fact, I highly doubt that's the case. But these stories leave it just open ended enough to let people come to conclusions like that, which is really unfair.

Here’s the original creator of that pizza commercial explaining the workflow. GPT-4 was used for the script, which sounds plenty plausible to me considering that it’s gibberish. After Effects was used for the editing, transitions and graphical overlays.

I don’t think the creators of these things are misrepresenting them, but as they go viral, the context gets stripped away and the ex-crypto bros start spinning their bullshit on Twitter.

Here’s another recent example I love. Of course it’s a combination of AI and human creativity, but consider the power of making something like this without a single camera or actor.

Did you try building a SAAS service?

I built a successful one, and sure - it gave me a decent income for 10 years after the initial 1 year of working on it. But altogether it was around €0.5M over it's lifetime, and it took me 5-10 years of unsuccessful projects to finally do one that succeeds.

It is a common experience as well. That's where the saying comes from that "it takes 10 years for an overnight success".

Also, the difference is in payout. When you work for someone, you get paid monthly. When you work on your own thing, you get literal 10 years of people making fun of you and saying "why don't you find a real job", and then - if you succeed - you get the same people complaining that you drink pina coladas.

While likely you're right, AI weirdness seems to have become a specific aesthetic enjoyed by some people. Some creators and prompt masseurs clearly don't know about some limitations being part of the style, or ignore them for the mass audience. If you believe this surrealistic quality will be ironed out by the developing tech, it's interesting to think it will at some point become nostalgic and a period mark for our decade, maybe.

Just because somebody mentioned the term "monad" doesn't mean that suddenly the code should be written in Haskell.

Python allows recursion too. Are you using recursion? Why not just write it in Haskell?

Python allows function calls too. Are you using function calls? Why not just write it in a functional language like Haskell?

A monad is just a general programming concept, like recursion and function calls. One particular language pioneering the concept's heavy use doesn't mean other languages can't adapt it. To the contrary, languages get influences from one another all the time. Especially Python.

Do you like list comprehensions? This super-pythonic thing? Goes back to functional languages in the 70s and the name was coined by Philip Wadler, one of the main Haskell gurus. If you like list comprehensions, this feels like trying to write Haskell code in Python. Why not just write it in Haskell?
> ceremonial, irrelevant form of totalitarianism

Totalitarianism by definition cannot be ceremonial or irrelevant. Totalitarianism tries to control all ("total") aspects of peoples' lives - e.g. in North Korea, after your shift at the factory is over, you can't just go home, but are required to go to a local political center to listen to a talk about the country's great leader's ideas. What's more, you are literally only expected to walk on a couple paths in your life - to work, to the political center, to school, to the store etc. Walking (I say walking, because obviously people can't afford cars in there) in any other direction is suspicious and frowned upon. THAT's totalitarianism, not the Queen/King.

1 seems questionable, since in practice we both refer to the definition of the relation as well as the collection of elements fulfilling the relation as the table.

2 is a fair point, but I'm not sure when was the last time I didn't use table aliases for anything more than a 2 liner.

3 I think that is due to a conceptual mismatch between SQL, which is basically just an implementation of relational algebra, and OOP. I'm not to well versed in this, but an ActiveRecord table class is actually more similar to a messenger or factory producing row objects.
Strangely i enjoyed it more like that also but it's probably not the goal :)

Only partly, the argument that OVPN put forward had two parts:

1. They have no information to hand over as they do not keep logs.

2. There is no law that requires them to keep logs.

They proved the first part in court, but there wasn't anything in the torrentfreak article about the second point. The second point is the relevant one here as Mullvad are making both of the same claims. While they have a legal for the first one (case law) the second is still untried as far as I could tell (only made a quick search).

For the second part to be proven, somebody would need to take them to court on the second point. Nobody has tried to do that (yet) and so the question still open, and it depends on how you interpret the wording of the law https://lagen.nu/2022:482. In particular, is the definition strict enough that it applies to the operators of the hardware that makes up the network, or does it apply to a virtual service over the top.

I'm not a lawyer, there is a lot of subtlety in how §7 is written that I do not claim to be aware of, and my swedish is quite basic.

Terminology and strict definitions aside, it is quite intuitive. A commenter below also pointers this out:

> If you ask a child what comes after infinity, "Infinity + 1" is pretty much the default answer. Any kid who knows multiplication knows "Infinity + Infinity" is the same as "Infinity Times Two". The answer of "Infinity TIMES Infinity" is also popular for kids to say when they know a number bigger than their friend (who just proclaimed infinity is the largest number).
Your parent comment wrote "it's better", you said "it's getting better". This is a common Motte-and-bailey argument in Julia discussions:

The "it's better [now]" is most often given as a response to someone expressing a problem they've had, and in context it's presented in a way that suggests the problem is fixed.

"It's getting better" is a far more reasonable response, if it also comes with a caveat about how much better it's gotten and how usable for purpose it is. A lot of the time Julians seem to conflate between "it's a reliable usable feature" and "a pull request vaguely related has been merged and will be available some time in the future, which fixes maybe 10% of the issue".
What are you comparing to though? Are you comparing bitcoin to an equity investment in a single regional bank? Because if so, yeah if you just so happened to pick First Republic Bank and compared it to Bitcoin, Bitcoin has been more stable in the last 6 months. But that's only because you've looked at what happened now, then gone back in time 6 months to select the worst outcome and compared that to bitcoin. If you picked a random regional bank or took an average of banks, they've been more stable than bitcoin - and even then you're talking about an equity investment that is known to have real risk.

If you're comparing to the depositors in FRB or CS or whichever bank, their money has been absolutely safe, way more stable than bitcoin - and government guaranteed.

>What are the signs of regulatory success that we're supposed to be looking at?

That in capitalism, individual companies are going to succeed or fail, and those that invest in them will take the gains or losses, but that the broader system still works. And that's basically what is happening so far.

To take your bitcoin example, whenever a crypto company fails, the question is always "Will retail customers get their deposits back" and the answer is... basically always no. That's not how we expect companies to work - the customer deposits are meant to be protected.

Hyperassociativity is not necessarily apophenia.

That can happen too, and is not apophenia. It's something more like hypercognition
This story is not incompatible with a more-basic one where inflation debases the currency, so when a company starts exploring price hikes for whatever reason they unsurprisingly realize greater profits (since they were implicitly lowering the price by selling for the same quantity of a less-valuable currency). Imagine that Pepsi was selling for ETH in 2021, then "discovers" after the price of ETH halves in 2022 that they can get away with hiking the price - in this case the price hikes are the consequence of the currency devaluation, not the cause.
