> but there were lots of signs the fed ignored and waited too long, and had to do large and sudden hikes. It could have all been less abrupt.

I disagree. Yes, there were inflation signs that they didn’t act on, but that’s because the exceptionally sharp and deep recession being over and securely so in unprecedented time wasn’t clear except in retrospect. Fed policy isn’t driven by a unitary mandate.

> In general arrays and concurrency doesn't mix very well in Java, and is something I'd avoid mixing on principle.

Sound sensible. I think what you've said is any semi-malicious code can give you a primitive array, then modify it from under you in another thread. That's not completely surprising but the clincher is, you can't even take a defensive copy.
Crazy idea: use <button> :)
Is there an assumption that strikes don't also hurt workers? I'm trying to figure out the angle here.
It's true that the bigger question is "what is the impact of a collision?". For many of them, the answer is probably nothing. In an industry where 1 in 10,000 makes people uncomfortable though, I think it's enough be to be potential headache. Increasing density of LEO would make that worse. It doesn't need to be a runaway effect to be economically or especially politically problematic.

Proactively deorbiting at EoL is definitely the correct move, but requires enough runway to continue short term operations. I can absolutely picture this being used as political leverage.
So rather than han paying 8 times for their games, the players are paying many dozens of times more for the same experience?

I know those but I was asking about the data referenced in the article. It says the consecutive FCC filings stated x and ≈2x avoidance maneuvers, but I was wondering if the data set regarding _maneuvers_ was available.
You come across as a bit facetious here.

Of course, the compiler or an advanced IDE can know what your code means. If all your identifiers were random permutations of l and I: lIllI1lI, your IDE would not mind either, but the code would be horrific, don't you agree? The point of the OP is that overloaded operators (and functions) make it harder to reason about the code for a human that reads it. At least for some people. At the end, everything is "just" syntactic sugar, but it makes a significant difference.

The way I read it was “hmm that’s nice, people are now able to see the lunacy of that period in such a way as to make an off hand comment like that.”

The masks did nothing positive. It was the law of the land in public health that they were useless at preventing respiratory infections before people in positions of power wanted to scare people into compliance with massive overreach of their authority, then it became “mask up.” And once everybody “masked up,” all we got was yet more confirmation that yeah they are pointless in trying to prevent respiratory viral spread. Even if they kinda, sorta worked for that, which they don’t, the costs are still far too high.

All the masks contributed to was oxygen deprivation, micro plastic inhalation, and the degradation of the fabric of society. Think about it, it was bad enough for adults trying interact with faces wrapped up and concealed, “think of the children!”(actual legitimate usage of the phrase, btw) much worse for them having to do the same. People were harassed, assaulted, tased, arrested, for not wearing a “mask,” it was insanity.

Stop being a creepy mask person.

> spread on the 30-year is usually ~2.5% higher than short-term rates

250 bps is a high but precedented spread for the 30Y [1]. We're definitely in an inverted environment. Nothing in the curve suggests the market expects rates to stay high indefinitely. But they also do not portend any proximate massive cuts.

There's way more ads. Now every blue checkmark tweet is an ad, paid for placement. So I click on a tweet and all I get are pages of ads with the real tweets buried at the bottom.

As an aside here, it's not the federal loans that are an issue, but the federal protections against all student loan dismissal that's the problem. It gives lenders a major incentive for reckless lending. Lenders aren't as motivated to ensure the success of those they lend to, because in the worst case scenario they have essentially have a lien on people themselves. And the later it's called in, the higher the cost will be.

In a world without these protections the interests of student loan lenders and students would be strongly aligned. And the greater restraint in lending would also likely drive down education costs, as well as help push students from poor families more towards majors that can help them become successful adults - a push those students might not otherwise get from their families or even school councilors.

As for where the now literally trillions of dollars of lending is having an impact on inflation, it'd depend on what that money was doing beforehand and what it would have done if not lent. Inflation comes down to monetary velocity, which is largely (though not inherently) driven by monetary supply. If trillions of dollars in student loans are increasing these factors then it will drive inflation, the only question being to what degree.
> is cleaning up messes (or preventing the spread of messes) that government created a sign of competence in government?

Without irony, yes. Ideally we would like governments not to create messes. But we can’t prevent that, and even if we could, messes will be created by other entities and other governments.

Case in point, you mention the PPP loans, which were signed into law by a previous administration. Today with a new administration and a new situation, it doesn’t make sense to complain too hard about that. We should point it out the next time PPP-like loans are suggested, but we shouldn’t chide the current government for cleaning up a mess of its own making, because that’s really not what happened here.

So yes, governments that are good at cleaning up messes are competent governments. Ideally they should also be good at not making messes, but the us government is an incredibly large entity, so messes are going to happen.

Also true. Most of our largest expenses - Medicare, Social Sec, Medicaid, Mil - are a mix of soft/hard pegging to inflation I believe.
I also like exploring video games. I love hiking and the outdoors, too. To me, the difference in appreciation and experience is that one is art and one is reality. Art has been arranged by another person, typically for aesthetic effect, and so anywhere you look you’ll see something designed to elicit a reaction from the viewer. No such thought has been put into reality so despite the stunning amount of detail, it takes work and luck to find the beauty in it. One of the reasons we might say a particular moment in real life was “like a painting” or “like a movie”.

Ask HN: Stubhub buying their own tickets under fake names?
I just sold three tickets on Stubhub for a concert I won't be able to make this weekend.

When I went to transfer them on Ticketmaster I noticed that the domain the email address was at for all of them appeared to be the names of businesses, but none of them had websites or any presence in google when I searched for them.

Being the curious person I am, I then went and looked up the WHOIS for the domain. They all were registered in the last six months, supposedly by Stubhub itself (nobody actually verifies the accuracy of WHOIS data though, its all an honor system)

It seems to me like there is probably a hustle going on, where someone is buying tickets under fake names and flipping them. Is this something Stubhub is known to do (SeatGeek pretty openly does it with their return program). Or is lying on the whois part of a larger scheme someone runs?

P.S.

If anyone is curious, the email domains were crimsonhillpartners.com , oneclassic.org , and ambercovecapital.com
The figure is slightly misleading because it’s a measure of year-on-year change in CPI, rather than being a point-in-time measurement, as many assume it to be.

June’s one month CPI increase was 0.2%, coming on the heels of May at 0.1%. The annual rates for May and June respectively are thus 1.2% and 2.5% respectively - significantly lower than the year on year rate would suggest. If we assume the true point in time rate is between 1.2 and 2.5%, then the economy has rapidly cooled.

The strongly inverted yield curve reflects this slowdown and predicts - with some degree of confidence - that the Fed will have to drop rates soon because the slowdown is leading us towards a recession. I find it interesting that the S&P is close to its height prior to the start of last year’s bear market even though the yield curve suggests extreme caution is warranted.

A recession would imply that the interest rate policy has worked. But it would also imply reduced corporate profits and growth, both of which feed into fundamental measures of equity value. This is a nerve wracking time to be invested in stocks.

It’s interesting that you keep confusing a concept (AR/VR) and a technology (screens, bci, etc).

For the record, what I predict is:

1. In 15 years smartphones will be obsolete. The most likely technology that will replace them is retinal projection via glasses. Laptops and monitors will probably last a bit longer.

2. In 30 years, BCI will replace all other human computer interfaces, unless by that time humans will already have merged with computers on a more fundamental level.

As with any examples of progress in human history things will appear to change slowly until they suddenly change very fast.

>why don't they just stop making Xboxes entirely?

because at this point, even if Xbox's weren't profitable, ending the Xbox brand would harm confidence in Gamepass.

Not that Xbox isn't profitable. But even in the worst case they have negative incentive to pull out.
I want a multi-device filesystem, offering (typically) the performance of the best device, yet an upper bound on data loss if one device fails.

Eg. I could have an SSD and a slow hard disk. Data is written to the SSD first, and eventually mirrored to the hard disk.

If the SSD fails, the hard disk will still be fully consistent up to the point the mirroring process got to. That mirroring would never be allowed to get more than say 5 minutes behind (writes would be throttled if that ever happened).

This lets you have performance and resilience while paying less money. The scheme can be extended with erasure codes to say 32 drives for a huge database so that you could for example sustain any 3 device failures not losing any fsynced bytes of data, or up to 6 failures but you might lose up to 30 seconds of data.

I think many multi-device filesystems could support this mode, but I don't think any do.
Yes, this is why I said "generally". Discharging firearms is on the Forest Services list of generally prohibited actions, but it's pretty easy to be able to do so legally. Have a hunting license for something that is in season, for instance.

As a rule of thumb, if you're shooting guns in the NF and aren't engaged in legitimate, licensed hunting, you will be suspected of poaching.

This is also a thing that can vary a lot, depending on the specific area you're in.

I think the 360 had a regular homogeneous tricore CPU, so programming it was just normal multithread programming. As you say the PS3 had several auxiliary processors that all needed to be told what to do in specific, non-portable ways, which is what made it inconvenient to work with.
Svelte Kit is great for static is "classic"-like websites.

I've converted my company website to svelte-kit from first Angular, then Vue.

But for SPA it's bad. If you use oidc auth. There's only Auth.JS and it's a confidential client, for Svelte Kit.

If you're not using svelte-kit you can use vite to create a Svelte SPA. There you can use your PCKE client as usual and burden the load on the client.

I have yet to experiment with how well it works with a graphql client. Apollo has its own cache but I'm not sure there is a svelte version of it. There is for Vue. Does it even need one? The default is for React. Is Apollo even needed? Questions over questions.

Why Svelte? Performance. Performance matters, a lot.

Svelte being a "language".

Until there are strong privacy guarantees around the sharing of this data in one's jurisdiction, which are both 1. enforceable and 2. likely to actually be enforced in practice, it seems that the downside of conducting a genetic test: dozens of companies using that data to make "decisions" about you, exceeds any potential upside.

In Canada, the least-trustworthy people I've ever dealt with have been medical doctors, lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats, or some mix of those.

I can't trust such people to put in place and operate any system that truly protects medical privacy.

After the very recent forced masking and "vaccine passports" debacles (which inherently forced the public disclosure of what should be private medical information), and the related coercion and forcing of unwanted medical procedures that such "professionals" advocated for and participated in, it should be clear that they don't take medical privacy seriously.

I wonder what will happen to the term "Steam Beer" now.

If I remember correctly, after the end of prohibition Anchor claimed ownership of the term "steam beer" even though it is a name of a style of beer and forced any other brewery to use the names "Steam Ale" or "California Common".

With Anchor being shuttered it would be great for Sapporo to release ownership of the style name so the BJCP can update the category back to the historically accurate title.
> PCs still lack the hardware texture decompression of the PS5 which once again impacts performance.

They might not implement it the same, but hardware-accelerated texture decompression has been around on PC for as long as SIMD has existed. With tech like ATSC floating around I'm not sure if it's appropriate to say PCs really "lack" the technology.

The problem with Apple Silicon is that nobody wants to use Metal. The big Switch emulator Yuzu should have also been a perfect fit for Apple Silicon too, but it took years to get "ported" and the end result used MoltenVK for the GPU API.

The real feedback has already happened. Last year Kent sent out the initial patches, and the main feedback from Linus was about the Git history and locking. All the important stuff is sorted out, it's in good shape to go into the kernel.

The issue now is there are lots of maintainers who don't like that someone else did something impressive that they couldn't have done, and they are dragging their feet getting the various patches outside `fs/bcachefs` integrated. The design and implementation is basically just Kent, there are others onboarding to help with maintenance. There is a "Wireguard" level of craftsmanship in this project, it's a big deal.

A younger Linus, in another time, might have told everyone to cut the bullshit--if you can't comment on the code, shut up, you're probably incompetent--but that's not the way things work anymore.

The problem: discoverability. You need one starting point that everyone can find.

Part of the subtle brilliance of Threads is how it deliberately withholds information from you. You do NOT learn the fate of many of the characters. Including---spoiler alert---the character you initially THINK is the main protagonist, until halfway through the film when he disappears with never another trace. You do NOT learn the fate of the rest of the world besides the UK. All of this is brilliant because the characters themselves would also never learn those things.
