I'm a new grad and I was extremely scared because of all the doom and gloom on HN and reddit. I also felt like new grads would be hit the hardest.

Come application time... it was totally normal. Had some interviews and some rejections. Ended up getting multiple offers with very competitive compensation.

While I may be the exception rather the norm, there are definitely companies that are still hiring and some that are just getting head count for the upcoming quarter. I would not give up hope.
You neglected to state what the "hypocrisy" is here. Cite the passage that promotes downloading and redistributing.
I don't think that's the case for Scott Adams. You're giving him too much credit.

There's no way to tell the form you claim is flamebait. You assume it is, but you don't know for sure. If it requires too much assuming, it's indistinguishable in practice for the real thing.

An act that is kept up 24x7 is the real thing as far as I'm concerned.
Storage in Salesforce is super expensive. And as you said any of their acquired products barely integrate with Salesforce.

Salesforce success is reliant on lack of serious competition. Beyond that it is decades behind modern software engineering practices.

Do you seriously need a third party tool to back up the data in a SaaS application? Astonishing!
Knowledge workers can seize things to a certain extent. Upper management (and even lower management in some cases) don't control or even have ready access to critical cloud credentials.

Sure, executives can call the cloud provider and gain access, but not before significant damage to the business can be done. And regardless, that's not much different than factory workers getting the police called on them by the factory owners.

I think the main issue is that knowledge workers are not organized (and generally look down on the idea of union membership), and don't really have the guts to step out of line like that.
Exactly. It’s the SUVs and trucks that are suffering runaway prices. Driving a new Camry or Honda Accord is still doable

Being on disability SSDI adjusts for inflation. However, if you get coverage from multiple providers, they may not all do this. In my case, half of my disability coverage was provided by a private insurer, who does not adjust for inflation. So I just lost $354 over the last two years per month. Pretty toxic cancerous environment for the disabled.

August Flu vs. Covid Infection Rate
We hear about the graduates in the news especially since Xi told them to go work on farms, but what percentage of Chinese youth get a degree (I genuinely don’t know). If it’s anything like the US the majority of people entering the workforce don’t have a degree. And manufacturing in China has really downsized over the past year. I suspect it isn’t easy for them to find jobs either.
>> What I don't understand is this 2% price target.

It is statistical trickery and a headline number used to make people think things are OK. It is also a convenient number for COLA increase targets which make people think their incomes/pensions are going up (when effectively they are not on a real basis.)

Also, as you note, we re-baseline each year and dont talk about the cumulative compounded inflation e.g., over the past 5yrs.

Americans on fixed incomes (e.g., pension, social security) and those without wage elasticity (e.g., restaurant workers) are absolutely miserable right now because they are squeezed from both sides, even after modest wage increases in 2021/2022. This is not good for a Democracy.
If your target audience is a close set of friends, family, professional associates, or other well-defined community, then yes, reaching out through that specific network is probably the best way of reaching it.

Which in mondern parlance is what is being accomplished by newsletters, mailing lists, and various social media feeds.

But if you're in the business, as in commercial enterprise, of reaching out to a large and generally undefined audience, or are responsible for government or NGO services, etc., general Web search is among your most valuable marketing mechanisms. And that sector includes literally billions of people and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of transactions or equivalent value.

And manual outreach through a small group ... really isn't effective.

I'm not saying that your specific use case is invalid. I am saying, as someone with a deep and abiding animosity to virtually all modern marketing, advertising, and SEO, that modern marketing, advertising, and SEO do in fact have a place. And that your comments here are largely asserting otherwise.
325/week ?? You live in a big city? We spend that for a family of 5 but we don’t buy a lot of snacks….
For #1, see the book "The No Asshole Rule". Does a great job at expanding on this. It happens not just with nepotism, but sometimes because management legitimately believes the employee is valuable. But you have to look at net impact on the org and not just individual impact. You can have an exceptionally talented engineer that chases everyone away due to horrendously toxic teamwork.
One of the biggest opponent of minimum wage increase are the one who's in that category.

Now get a dealer to order that base Corolla from factory. Hint: it ain’t happening’.
Goooooooood luck driving off a dealer lot with a $22k Toyota! Seriously, if you can do it then good on you!

But back in the real world the on the lot availability of cars is abysmal and most makes are sold out for months of backlog. Like if you want a Toyota minivan it's something like a 2 year wait--unless you are willing to buy one on the lot with a $10k dealer markup.
I’d have read that just like you did.

More context always helps. I guess another (lengthy) way to write that - can be - “I just created my HN account to post this comment”.
Can you find one a dealer will actually sell you for that price? The lowest priced base models are usually only by special order, and dealers are charging thousands in markup (https://markups.org/search.html?title=toyota+corolla)
i'm pretty sure it's a part of it
I don't think the best way to discount an absurd claim is to make an equally absurd set of claims.

Bernoulli’s Fallacy (2022)
Some inflation is seen as good by economists because it pushes money that would sit on the sidelines into "productive" uses. It creates an incentive and a need for risk taking or stored wealth will be eaten away. That this doesn't align with most individual's goal is of no concern to those most interested in productivity and GDP growth.
Ladies and Gentlemen it's not just real estate, it's the service economy. Without enough office workers cities will be just a dens of poor and desperate. Without a working city who will:

- buy ready made food delivered by a human or mechanical drone ?

- use all city service where without them living in modern small apartments would be very uncomfortable ?

- who want uber and similar transportation model, since in less dense areas anyone have a car except very few (the few who can't drive) ?

- who want mobile smart crap if anyone have a home office ?

You don't need a coordinated conspiracy if the incentives of each person in the chain line up to this inevitability.
That's a laughable price for an enterprise subscription.

And the reason is, it's enough for OpenAI to "say" that they're "not going to use your data" - you need a cloud deployment where you can control network boundaries to _prove_ that your data isn't going anywhere it isn't supposed to.
How do you “leverage” the real estate if WFH is free in terms of office costs, and assuming there’s no loss of productivity with WFH?
Between 2008 and 2018 milk prices went down from $3.80 a gallon to $2.90 [1]. So we're actually barely above 2008 prices in non-inflation adjusted dollars.

To your specific point about targeting negative inflation, that's deflation, which most people believe is bad for the economy. Even if there are types of "good deflation", government policy inentionally targeting deflation would almost definitely be a bad thing.

1. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/milk-prices-...
People get hired off the 2% because that’s a baseline level of growth. When the economy is in deflation people will constantly get fired every year, growth basically stops, and you end up with a highly risk averse Japan-type situation.

This is a drastic oversimplification but that’s basically it

All of these are aperiodic; it says as much in the first paragraph. Are you talking about the rotational symmetry?
What companies are out there doing something worth caring about? It feels like everything is some variation of the same setup:

Developing, deploying, and managing HTTP """REST""" microservices running behind a loadbalancer, running on k8, written in a garbage collected language (Go/Python/Java/C#), that hits either a "legacy" mysql database or a "new" nosql datastore, emitting metrics for big data reporting (aka middle manager reports that are useless other than being fodder for political fights), and writing some resulting messages to kafka at the end for other microservices to consume. The main technical issues are debugging application level coupling between microservices and having to deal with the ping pong of debating system ownership between teams.

I wish there were more positions for doing something else with my software engineering skills, but embedded development seems really hard to get into and if you manage to it pays a lot worse

But even that isn't weird, since parseInt() takes two arguments (string and radix) and map expects a function value that receives three arguments (value, index, and the whole array). It's not so much "weird" as it is "I didn't read the docs“.
Been looking seriously for ~4 months now, no luck yet.

My degree is in political science and I worked at a DC think tank as a research fellow focused on technology policy before leaving to co-found a VC-backed tech startup. After five years it failed.

Now it seems difficult to find a place which needs my mix of skills, a combination of communication and technical. I don't know if it's my unusual career path or something I'm doing wrong, but it's been tough so far.
Groceries are definitely my biggest pain point today. In 2018, for a family of 3, we used to spend about $120 to $150 per week in groceries.

Justed check July, and we spent over $1400 in groceries. That's from Walmart, not Whole Foods or some such. And we're in a low to medium COL city.

Sure, we could cut back to more staple stuff(more beans, less meats) if needed, I'm just illustrating how much the price of things have increased!

Deflation means a dollar tomorrow is always worth more than a dollar today meaning a rational person should strive to spend as little money today as possible. This eventually locks the entire economy up into a death spiral.

Governments are afraid of deflation (prices going down) because consumers can go into a holding pattern (stopping spending while waiting for prices to continue to decrease) which can cause the economy to stall out.

I don’t understand how you can spend so much. Even with inflation we (family of 4, cooling all meals at home) are at less than 800€/$ per month.

And we eat meat nearly all meals.
SAME! I barely saved this year so far and I haven’t been splurging on anything. The car I bought before the inflation burst is now 25% more now. I make good money relatively but I still feel like we’re drowning. Every grocery run is over $200 even if don’t get meat, just the fruits alone are eye watering nowadays.
I'm also pursuing a BSc. My original degree is a BA and employers/recruiters see me as an "alternative" self-taught engineer, despite a decade of experience. I think a lack of STEM degree can really hurt a resume.
> How is this possible? Surely at this point you would have a network to lean on that wouldn’t leave you applying for jobs online? I’m hesitant to believe you don’t have a network and more willing to believe you don’t realize you have that network and maybe even not sure how to use it.

It's possible because of a couple reasons. The market is cold right now, and most of my network is _still at google_. There are a few folks I've worked with that have left for other places - but those places are either in hiring freezes or actively laying people off for the last few months.

You're partially right, though. Maybe I don't know how to utilize this network efficiently. Friend of friend etc, is probably something I need to work on more.

Currently trying to buy a Corolla Hybrid (base). The best out-the-door quote I got so far is $28.5k, the MSRP is $23k. So yes, you are looking at almost $30k for the most basic car.

By manufacturer, nobody comes close to outsellling Apple by an order of magnitude, let alone several.

By laptop, the numbers are likely even less in your favour since Apple only has a few models. So no, the average consumer agrees with me and not you.

It’s immoral for anyone to create waste, so perhaps supposed environmental fines should be directly proportional to damage and not some specific penalty to a specific entity.

Thanks! But I think you might've missed a subtlety here:

> This should generalize easily to the complex/Hermitian case.

This doesn't seem to be true, in that it's actually impossible to have a non-Hermitian matrix C such that x†Cx > 0 over the complex numbers for all x. Whereas over the real numbers, with a matrix R, you can have x'Rx > 0 such that R is asymmetric.

The subtlety here is that x itself can be complex in the complex case, which further constraints C to be Hermitian - see the Wikipedia link I posted above.

In other words, "complex definiteness" is actually a stronger condition than "real definiteness", even for matrices without an imaginary part.

"The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material."

"And given that that's the case, now when we're talking about vaccinated people being indoors in settings where you don't know what the status is, particularly in an area, as you mentioned correctly, that has a high degree of protection, the recommendation is that you wear a mask even indoors, even if you're vaccinated."

The only thing that changed was that people were vaccinated en masse and the virus had become even more transmissible. So that whatever infinitesimal effect the mask had before, against the delta variant it was now beyond useless.

I could sit here all day and list more and more deliberate falsehoods, but they're well-documented and no serious person denies that there was extensive lying by experts for political and social purposes under the guise of dispassionately relaying the most credible and up-to-date medical information.

Kind of yes, kind of no. If you paint my house, I kind of assume you can do the bulk work, but I care more about the transitions. Did you do the hard work of taking the time to remove outlet covers and mask outlets? Or did you work quickly and paint most of the outlets, make the covers hard to remove and leave the wall under the covers unpainted?

Either way, the house is painted, but the quality of the job and the likelyhood of referal is quite different.
