You should probably not use inflation rates predating the Nixon shock for future predictions. So take the last 50 years and square it and you get ~60x over 100 years. It’s my view that dodgy math enabled deficit spending and speculative asset bubbles soaked up inflation which led to the temporary ability have both low interest and low inflation. Since we’ve already had the everything bubble I don’t thing we can create a bigger bubble to recreate the era of low interest and low inflation. I’m expecting the average interest rate plus inflation for the next 50 years be be greater than the previous 50 years.
If we shift the context just a little bit, everyone would ridicule this kind of abstinence-only approach.
Red Hat can't stop you from exercising your rights under the GPL to redistribute the code. You also can't compel them to do business with you. They've structured their support agreements such that if you do exercise your rights under the GPL they will stop supporting you (and decline to offer you future subscriptions).

The value proposition for RHEL is ostensibly support (and a "throat to choke", for whatever that's actually worth). Red Hat's gamble is that no "legitimate" Red Hat subscriber would risk their support entitlement (and the ability to contract with Red Hat for support in the future) by exercising their rights under the GPL.

It's a clever hack. It runs counter to ideals of Free software (and I find it personally repugnant) but it's clever.
Mike McGrath has been very explicit about this in his comments on the Ask Noah Show podcast episode[1] and a number of responses in the r/Linux subreddit.

There are a lot of replies here and anything that talks about "economic" conditions probably doesn't understand AA.

AA is not a poverty alleviation program. It is a social justice program.

Poverty alleviation can be done just with money, but social systemic unfair treatment cannot be undone with money. For example, despite owning homes in the same neighbourhood, the appraisal of homes of black people ends up lower than white folks[1], there are more traffic stops and searches for black folks than white[2]..etc., you get the drift.

So, if a poor white family is given a lot of money and they move into a richer neighbourhood, they would enjoy a social capital the same amount of money cannot buy for a black family. Now there aren't many ways to suddenly make this go away. So, AA is an attempt at making this go away by saying, put more of the people from the underrepresented community in places where they are underrepresented, starting with the high echelons of education. By that the society hopes to the laws we create, systems we build as a result will have the perspective of people from those community. It's not a silver bullet, not a magical solution, but one amongst many things to try.

BART used to be so busy that people getting on in downtown stations would back-track to Civic Center/The Mission to actually get a seat across the bay.

A similar amount of behavior existed of people doing anything to avoid a peak hour BART train.

Now, if you're commuting in, the best times are during rush.

BART numbers will always seem insanely low vs. pre-pandemic because they were unsustainable high back then.

> Google is providing a service...millions of views for free...

If I looked at the financial statements of the various local newspapers & such over the past ~20 years, then the incredible value that Google is delivering to those actual news organizations would be obvious...right? Especially compared to Google's mediocre revenues from their SRP pages that are filled with those local news stories...right?

> Groups of people don't have guilt or automatic responsibility, only individuals do.

I think the question here is who is entitled to have the 'revenge' or the reparation or the 'affirmative action'

People who were persecuted or opressed? or their offspring?

For example German government agreed to pay reparation to Jews in (some?) Eastern European countries and Russia, that were alive at the time of WWII and lived on the territories that the Germany attacked.

The reparation from what I know were 2,000 or 4,000 USD one time payment.

--

So in that model
a) the person receiving the reparation had to be alive at the time of the crime.
b) had to be on the territory where the crime was committed
c) I do not think the person needed to prove that they were directly affected by the crime

from what I know the reparation was selective.
It did not cover Gypsys, did not cover non-Jews

--

I do not know what the right model is.

Can a nation be responsible for the crimes their government has committed?
For how long?

If the answer to the above is 'yes' (that the nation is responsible) -- wouldn't that justify terrorism? wouldn't that justify blood-revenge practice?

But that revenge can go for generations, and at some point will be reversed -- that means, in turn, endless wars.

--

May be the correct answer is to limit the action of 'righting the wrongs' to the people who were the victims and alive at the time of the crime ?

But that does not seem to be fair to the victims either
Probably a stupid question, but could you theoretically surf on gravitational waves? Obviously not on earth, but maybe near a binary black hole or something. If I imagine waves in a rubber-sheet mental model of gravity warping spacetime, it seems like surfing should be possible.
Of course thing's haven't been "made right" (reparations?). They never will be. You simply cannot correct such a large and complex past injustice. By the time you're done sorting through all the details to a reasonable standard, everyone who was around when the reparations process started would have already passed away, and doing this kind of thing sloppily is a recipe for disaster.

The only way forward is to correct current injustices and level the playing field on which people compete today (i.e. the rationale behind affirmative action). I do think the focus should be on class rather than race; the two are highly correlated but not the same. Nothing in the SCOTUS decision seems to prohibit affirmative action based on class, so I actually think this ruling could turn out less impactful than many seem to fear or hope.

> Another common reason is when two CPUs of different architecture need to access the same structure in memory.

That sounds like mapping memory and something you could avoid with the right compiler flags.

> Or you read structured binary data from disk and need to specify an exact layout.

If you need it stay in the same form it has on the disk, I think it's fair to call that a concern in the category of "map some memory". Edit: And other spots in the text explicitly include file formats.

Basically I think you're giving examples rather than exceptions.
I would like to think they do on some level, but there is definitely some level of softness applied to the blows they take. For instance, us “normal” people, when charged with a crime, are pulled through the ringer and taken through sometimes multi-month trials to prove ourselves. When a cop gets a bit trigger-happy and kills an innocent man in cold-blood and almost kills his wife, after knowingly knocking on the wrong house, they’re put on paid leave.[0]

I truly do want to believe it works in practice, but I have my limits.

It's received wisdom from 80s American movies and media that sprung from that: if you're smart, then you're a nerd and therefore bad at being social. And the converse fallacy comes into play too: if you're bad at being social, then you're a nerd and smart.
In my opinion the best password is a salted hash of the domain name. You memorize a static and secret salt value, combine that with the domain and hash and you get an unguessable password that is easy to remember.

This is not correct, in spirit of "is it carcinogenic": https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-prof...

These remind me of particle collisions. A set of particles go in, and a set of particles go out, with momentum and angular momentum conserved. But instead of abstract mathematical "points", the particles in this case are smooth and free of singularities. Also, their interactions occur at a distance in a way that makes intuitive sense.

Compared to the cost of driving that five miles, parking, tolls, etc that's not that expensive. If you're taking BART to work and back every work day that's $200 a month. The Bay Bridge toll is $7 IIRC. Then you've got to find parking in downtown SF. Street parking is a crap shoot in 1) finding a spot and 2) not having your car vandalized any given day and a paid lot of space is likely to put you over the $10 round trip BART cost.

San Francisco seemingly hates car commuters and just about every aspect of the city demonstrates that fact. Commuting on BART for work is downright cheap compared to driving.
Awk is really great, for those knowing nvm [1], I used awk to make `nvm ls-remote` run more than 10 times faster [2] by replacing the related shell script with around 60 lines of awk script [3], and I was quite happy with the improvement.

It's not really a one-liner, neither something big, but one can take that as an example regarding that awk is really not just for one-liners.

Meanwhile having `--csv` support is really nice. I'd also like to see things like a builtin `length` function to be standard.

I doubt there is such an example that fits; there certainly is a lack of significant historical evidence for actual harms of affirmative action. I think we would agree that some (many?) detractors of affirmative action give the impression that they believe affirmative action is an evil on the approximate level of slavery, warranting maintenance of the status quo. Still, slavery is an unfairly high bar to establish injustice, and I agree with other AA detractors in that the outcome of AA is morally dubious. I firmly believe that AA doesn't tackle the root of the problem and thus has dubious efficacy, too. I hope everyone embraces reform along the lines of reduced or nullified college tuition and better public school and health infrastructure to lift all communities up. Money shouldn't be an issue at this time, except for the backwards society that we live in. The fine game of nil, indeed!
I'm a cyclist. People DO worry about the failure mode of carbon fiber when riding, and the stakes in bicycling are FAR LOWER -- I mean, you'll almost certainly live.

From the factory it's gonna be fine, but the worry people have is getting a nick or dent in it in such a way that it compromises the strength in an important dimension. Carbon fork failures used to be a thing, and that can end REALLY REALLY BADLY for a rider on a road bike.

So going deep enough that a vessel failure means effectively instant disintegration in a carbon sub? F*ck no, like, on the face of it.

I am experiencing the curse of Apple’s ecosystem. Because all my photos and videos are on iCloud, it’s practically impossible for me to switch to android at this point. On top of that, I really like the hands off feature (which allows me to copy something on my iPhone and paste it on my Mac) and the fact that I can use my iPhone’s camera as a second WebCam for my MacBook.

there used to be a time when choosing a phone depended on its intrinsic value. But nowadays, the value you get from your phone depends on external factors, such as the cloud provider, the synergy between the phone and the rest of your computer setup, and the overall support you get from the company. I think this is the part where all android manufacturers get wrong: they focus so much on the intrinsic value of the phone without working on its extrinsic value within an ecosystem.
> EU countries where I lived before settling in the US it would be unthinkable to include race in these policies.

Roads are similarly unpoliced -- but the lack of enforcement mostly harms vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists rather than the people driving. This creates a cycle where driving is increasingly the only safe option.

> What is an example of the good garbage that would otherwise be wasted? It seems like nutrient deficient junk food is the main beneficiary of these appetizing agents.

Most of a cow, honestly.

From a 1,300 lbs steer you'll get something like 600-650 pounds of usable meat (maybe a little more, depending on the breed). About a third of that resulting meat will be ground meat that'll best be used in burgers, sausages, hotdogs, and stuff like vienna sausages - which I would consider junk food. The rest of the carcass will be rendered into tallow, boiled down to produce gelatin for candy and jellies or bone broth for other dishes, and otherwise processed for human or animal consumption.

It's not as extreme as the junk food you're thinking of but ever since industrialization the amount of effort put into making food from slaughterhouse waste is incredible.
"Expense of other groups" is not at all isomorphic to punishment. In 1866 Southern America it would be strange to talk about how the poor plantation owners were punished by losing their slave labor force. Yes, they were materially worse off, but it was hardly a punishment. Even if those plantations had been broken up and given to the freed black people as reparations, it wouldn't have been punishment. It would have been backpay.

If you are commuting to SF in the morning from the east bay, there's the community driven east bay casual carpool. There used to be a pickup point at most of the east bay bart stations and the common drop off is at the corner of Fremont and Howard in soma. When I used to commute in, there were a few people in line and it only took a minute or two for the next car to pull up. It's a little weird at first to jump in a car with two random strangers but I never felt unsafe. You get through bay bridge toll plaza in seconds as you are in the carpool lane.

Worth noting the reason it was retracted:

The authors wish to note the following: “Our article estimated the role of officer characteristics in predicting the race of civilians fatally shot by police. A critique pointed out we had erroneously made statements about racial differences in the probability of being shot (1), and we issued a correction to rectify the statement (2).

Despite this correction, our work has continued to be cited as providing support for the idea that there are no racial biases in fatal shootings, or policing in general. To be clear, our work does not speak to these issues and should not be used to support such statements. We take full responsibility for not being careful enough with the inferences made in our original report, as this directly led to the misunderstanding of our research.

While our data and statistical approach were appropriate for investigating whether officer characteristics are related to the race of civilians fatally shot by police, they are inadequate to address racial disparities in the probability of being shot.

Green leafy vegetables contain a hell of a lot more nitrate than cured meat does.

Sure, there's less protein in vegetables, so less chance of nitrosamines forming, unless you're eating a complete meal, in which case... figure it out.

Also, vegetables contain anti-oxidants and things which offset some of the nitrates, but this just seems like a reason to eat some vegetables with your cured meats.

Instead of treating public transit as an enterprise that should break even, we should consider what removing barriers to access through fare free public transit can do to serve our citizens more effectively.

Many transit districts in Washington State have already gone fare free. Removing the barrier of paying helps drive more ridership, particularly on non-peak hours that traditionally see much lower ridership.

The rail already exists, increasing it's utilization by will drive economic growth and help municipalities recover and heal the donut hole that was punched in many urban cores by the pandemic.
