The difference is not limited to the extremes. Why would it be?

EDIT: thread limit reached, so I can't answer down there.

But in short, it's a HN comment, not a study. But I've been in 11 schools in my life. Some private ones with their own church inside, some for special kids, some for poor kids with a higher degree of violence.

I saw it again and again. The average math teacher is not worse than any other teachers. But the first field kids have a hard time is more often math than other fields. In fact, kids that are good at math usually can do ok in any other, even if not great. The reverse is not necessarily true.

At this point I'm just repeating the argument in the other comments.

Even though Lightness is one of my favorite books, it really won't speak to everyone. It has a lot of angst and philosophy and reflections on the human condition from the perspective of poly lovers during wartime, written by a male Czech author. Each of those could be a way to relate, or distance, the writing from the reader.

In truth I don't even remember the plot, but I do poignantly remember the evocative language and beautiful prose, even in its English translation. It was just such a subtly piercing way to look inside people in everyday (yes, boring) situations as they struggle with love and meaning. It's the same "big" questions any literary novelist tries to tackle, but if that's not your jam, the writing won't do anything for ya. Nothing wrong with that. Kundera is a niche/cult favorite, not necessarily a mass market page turner.

There are authors I dislike too, despite their popularity. Tolkien and RR Martin for their verbosity, Barbara Kingsolver for her tendency to go on long rambly tangents about her personal life. Thoreau had his ups and downs. Etc. There are more great books and authors than a person can read in a lifetime anyway. To each their own!
Sure, it's great that they cleaned up the SVB mess quickly and decisively. But it was also irresponsible for the Fed to raise rates so quickly that it put massive banks in danger of insolvency. They understand how bond pricing works, and they understand that banks are heavily invested in t-bills. SVB was a predictable situation that could have been prevented through slower rate increases.

Since we don't live in the timeline where rate increases were less aggressive, we don't know exactly how the economy would have reacted. But seeing as inflation was largely attributed to lack of supply and buyers' willingness to pay higher prices (see: corporate profits rising), I think it's safe to think inflation would have come under control if rates hikes were less aggressive.

I'm not sure I'd disagree, but I think that's actually an interesting feature of government when it's not going overboard with bad policies things tend to be "sane" and the system just functions.

Once we get idealogues or charlatans or just outright corrupt people in positions of power, you'll find out very quickly that politics has a lot to do with the economy as it comes crashing down all around us.

That being said, the president and Congress do have some levers to pull to effect the economy. That can be anything from bad transportation policy (like the overbearing federal highway system) which lowers entrepreneurship and increases death rates and obesity (less fit workers, fewer businesses, etc.) to seemingly good policy like the Inflation Reduction Act which is building and repairing infrastructure, etc.

While most assumed nothing would come of it, the hostage taking of the debt ceiling specifically whenever a Democrat is president is another way in which Congress can have a direct effect on the economy.
Why not both? Biden certainly isn't urging the Fed to continue cutting rates despite a strong economy, while also cutting taxes increasing monetary velocity, during a time of increased monetary velocity due to COVID stimulus funds to keep things running.
That is fine if those residents are not permitted to have cars.

If they are, you are effectively taking parking from residents who paid for it in the form of higher house prices.

And what exactly are we offering as an alternative for these developments? Guaranteed bus services? Bike parks? Trams/light rail. Or is this just a "build it and the residents and their neighbours will just have to fight over parking".

Sorry to be the cynic. I am not opposed to reducing car use, I just think it has to be managed. Life isn't as simple as "cut the parking and someone else will make it work".

Correct. THEN optimize the metrics.

I didn't realize there was a myth that some users prefer slower. They don't. If they could be done they'd rather be done. Especially if this involves work. Most users that use software at their job didn't choose that software. The least we can do as engineers is let them go home to their family sooner.
The government caused covid, and supply chain issues, which led to this?

Lobbying (especially US-style lobbying) is a shortcut around democracy for the rich and powerful.

People should be electing their representatives based on what they will do for them. Instead they choose who gets bought. As a result, I have one vote but Charlie McBucks Inc. has 10 million.

It's a game only the extremely wealthy can play, and you can't lobby to abolish lobbying anyway.
Why would something being hard mean it has to justify itself?
That is a huge part of it, but I've heard one of the other major barriers are people who are just plain anti-tax since they think anything more centralized would just give the government an excuse to sneak in new taxes.
If you like listening to podcasts, I'd recommend the following episode on the subject:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TlXi3_Fyyg

‘If it became necessary immediately to discard every line and method of communications used on the front, except one, and it were left to me to select that one method, I should unhesitatingly choose the pigeons’, wrote Major General Fowler, Chief of Signals and Communications of the British Army, after the First World War.

On today's podcast Tom and Dominic are joined by Gordon Corera, the BBC's Security Correspondent and author of 'Operation Columba: The Secret Pigeon Service', to discuss the often under-appreciated role of pigeons throughout the course of history.
You can expect house prices to continue to rise given the money printing and where it ended up during COVID. A lot of rich people need somewhere to put their increases in wealth post COVID, my guess is a boom for about 2-3 years before big problems and they might not need the size of mortgage to get a decent return that the interest rate matters all that much.
Exceptions don't make it good for the majority of society. Those exceptions are also what keeps people hooked, chasing a carrot until their bank account is empty.
Yeah, it is definitely not a bad idea for heating fuel, feed chemical, racing fuel, jet fuel, etc... Just replacing the natural gas produced methanol would be nice. However, wind energy has high availability in the winter and batteries would make up for blizzards and shortfalls. Canada is having a lot of good results from wind energy. In addition, they make a ton of energy from hydroelectricity.

Every country is different, E-methanol may be a solution for a few places. However it is not something I would personally invest in.
That takes years to play out.

Also, except for Miami every major city has had price decreases, so your personal anecdote is not what the stats show.

And in fact, at 10% inflation, if prices don’t rise, that means they are getting 10% cheaper in real terms. So in fact prices definitely are falling, no city has had a 10% price rise in the last 12-18 months.
The administration chose to keep Jerome Powell in his position. So both?

> You think science is what the consensus says it is, even if you cannot personally verify it?

Well, no, but I might be able to see how you got that. I'm all for falsifiable hypotheses, empirical data, repeatable experiments, and revisions as we find limits to our collected hypotheses and data.

I do think that others(e.g. Planck, Kuhn) have observed the effects of consensus in science, and to treat science as though those effects are not present is a form of religion.

Keras is great for painful libraries like Theano, which was similar to early TF. Btw, many Theano users already used a higher level library called Lasagne, which was similar to Keras.

When I switched to TF in 2016 Keras was still in its infancy so I wrote a lot of low level TF code (eg my own batchnorm layer), but many new DL researchers struggled with TF because they didn’t have Theano experience. That steep learning curve led to the rise of Keras as the friendly TF interface.

Pytorch is a different story.
I notice another comment already explained, so I'll just borrow it:

> It taught them gambling pays, and makes them more likely to lose money in the future.

By definition gambling is losing money in long terms (otherwise it's investing, not gambling). A disabled is less likely to recover after a financial disaster.
I mean, yeah, but they only serve as a response to the “let them eat cake” class, who always ends up getting their way in the end. The real misanthropes are the ones who keep the status quo primed for the next financial catastrophe by not fixing anything when things are good, because financial catastrophes are profitable for them.

> It’s about funny numbers and bailing out the rich

The first is ambiguous; I assume this is the usual inflation definition misunderstanding. TL; DR There are a number of measures of inflation because there are an infinite number of possible baskets of goods and services; they're adversarially generated by a number of agencies and private organizations.

The second is just sour grapes. Did SVB's depositors deserve a bailout? No. Was its bailout infinitely better than the '08 bailouts, which bailed out the banks themselves? Yes. Was not bailing out SVB's depositors worth a recession? No. As another comment mentioned [1], misanthropy and catastrophism isn't a productive policy preference.

Well, what does month over month say?

No and I don’t think that is a fair interpretation of what I wrote given the caveat I provided from the onset.
The level of certainty... seems off.
The EU represents a vast market of (relatively) well-off and (relatively) informed consumers and businesses.

While famously keen on having social safety nets, its politics is generally center-right and the economy cannot be described as anything else than a market economy.

The unusual circumstances are that for a major and growing in importance sector (digital services) it is almost entirely relying on US companies for software and Asian companies for hardware.

The result is that the EU is forced to either accept the abysmal regulatory standards of these other regions or try to throw its weight around and hope for the best.

The positive end games are either US politicians growing up a spine and ensuring this vital sector is not strangled by oligopolies or the EU developing its own services (and fast).

Neither is very likely, so grab you pop corn...

The only practical use I've found for knowledge base / bookmarks is
to have a searchable list of references/docs/cheatsheets/examples that are hard to find via google (or are not available on google,i.e. internal company docs).

With the release of ChatGPT my need for a knowledgebase has decreased by 10x. And I assume that the need for knowledge base/bookmarking solutitions will disaapear completely in the next few years as LLMs improve.
I’m sorry when did this inflation thing start again?

I’m not a trump fan, and he spent like crazy too, but Biden was next level. Stimulus after stimulus and actual helicopter money. And it was under his time that the fed decided inflation was “transitory”.

Who are these people? This describes a small number of people and they are not in power.
And I think the economy has a great effect. Craft beer is expensive, and when everything else has doubled in price, it becomes a luxury. Between that and competing for shelf space when the oligopoly has crammed the shelves with faux "craft" beers, I'm expecting a shakeout in the craft brew business - a local brewery closed up at the end of May with about a week of warning and no reason why, even though the taproom always had customers.
Because why put in the effort if it isn't going to bring any benefit? An easy subject can be swallowed even if you don't see the purpose because it doesn't cost you much.

That said, I lean towards the other option: it's considered a waste of time, so no one puts in the effort, so it seems harder than it really should be.

> Well the definition of a sale is usually the exchange of a commodity for money.

I thought the definition of "sale" is the exchange of a thing for consideration. The consideration is usually money, but doesn't have to be.

But I had to look it up. My definition was a bit too expansive, but not by much. The first one in the American Heritage dictionary is

The exchange of goods or services for
an amount of money or its equivalent;
the act of selling.

> If you are arguing semantics, sale is probably the wrong term and 'sharing' is probably more accurate.

I think "sharing" is less accurate. Maximal pedantic accuracy is probably "bartered".

I was just at Disney and noticed this too. Their rides are also designed to quickly load and unload people, so their lines are always moving relatively quickly. The lines also don't always follow a simple switchback path, so it's easy to lose track of where you are in the line. This all makes waiting a little less discouraging.

I'd give them more credit for digging us out of the hole, but I think having the Fed rate near 0% for so long created most of problems in the first place. That started well before the current or previous administration.

(I know we're supposed to make a distinction between the Fed and the Gov, but I don't really)

Your point on FDIC is well taken though. That worked as intended and maintains my faith in the banking system.

Then the last thing they'll do will be to deorbit the satellites.

You also missed a major factor in your calculations -- the odds that a collision will raise the odds of further collisions. And that's zero. The vast majority of collisions are with centimeter size objects, which aren't going to shatter a Starlink. And if you collide with something large enough to shatter a Starlink, then it will remove enough energy from the orbits of most of the objects that they'll deorbit within a single orbit.
They would get better financial return by lobbying for better public health strategies against Covid, like regulations on indoor air quality. That would lead to fewer deaths from a multitude of respiratory ailments.
For those who have/had long covid, the big question seems like whether it is worth doing a genetic test to find out.

On one hand you'll know and be able to blame your genetics while working with your healthcare providers on any developing treatments. On the other hand, that data could potentially be used against you in the future for life insurance, disability insurance, or long term care insurance.

Seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation. Make sure you read the privacy policies of any provider you go through. DNA is the most personal, private, and detailed part of you. Is it really worth it?

But for real I agree in general - where is the money going to come from? The interest on the debt and the federal receipts don’t work! I see the ratio (linked below) hitting 0.5 this decade.

What’s crazier is that % of GDP taxed according to the FRED is at historically normal levels dating back to 1950 - we’re not even at a point of low taxation relative to output.

Interesting and fair enough, certainly should be a consideration.

Obviously it's easy to think of laws that could be enacted that would make founding a startup more attractive and increase the number of startups and amount of investment in them that everyone would agree would still be bad and shouldn't exist.

This is obviously not such a clear case, but I personally fall on the side that reducing startup formation/investment would be an ok price to pay here.

I have some (but not 100%) confidence that this could mostly or entirely be offset by other improvements such as making going public easier for smaller companies (perhaps similar to London's AIM for example) or creating market/tax incentives that favour startups and smaller companies, and/or penalise companies that become larger, especially by acquiring other companies or entering many relatively unrelated/independent verticals.
