As an extreme example, everyone knows about Germany hyperinflation in the 20s. Fewer people are aware that 1929-1932 was a period of massive deflation in Germany that led to the German economy collapsing, the Nazis siezing power, and 10 years later most of Europe being occupied by Fascists.

So it's pretty reasonable to be concerned about deflation.

These restrictions originated during the Struggle of the Orders, when the patrician/plebeian distinction was extremely important (at least as far as we can tell - most of our sources for this period were writing much later). By the middle and late Republic (the period which TFA mostly covers), many of the old patrician families seem to have declined making the restrictions much less relevant.

Yes it works against the creation of precedent, but the court system is meant to provide a resolution of dispute between parties. The creation of precedent is a side effect of that process, not it’s primary goal.

Edit: And just to end on a note of positivity, the courts aren’t really the place to make changes like this anyhow, which is out of most people’s hands. Instead we can lobby our Congress people etc to make laws that can end these practices (which is where most of our consumer protections have come from).

Azure is hosting and operating the service themselves rather then for OpenAI, with all the security requirements that come with that. I assume this comes with different data and access restrictions as well and ability to run in secured instances (and nothing sent to OpenAI the company).

Most companies use cloud already for their data, processing, etc. and aren’t running anything major locally, let alone ML models, this is putting trust in the cloud they already use.

In the mid-size city I live in, I hear small business owners and local execs worried all the time about how a commercial real estate crash would send us into recession.

The systemic consequences - real or imagined - are very much top of mind for all the - real or imagined - decision makers. They feel like it's their duty to steer this ship for the greater good. The attitude is nearly lock-step.

I'd take a painful recession today if it means I still don't have to go into the office a decade from now. Rip the band-aid off.

So did the post do incorrect-think by making even a minimal reference to a heterosexual couple in an extremely normal, completely common context between them?

The civilian level is the state of the art. The chip industry is at the cutting edge, there is nothing beyond it that is available at scale, and in this instance: scale matters!

There are some small exceptions of course: RSFQ digital logic is insanely fast (hundreds of gigahertz), but nobody has scaled it to large integrated circuits.

Supercomputers are built with somewhat esoteric parts, but not secret unobtainium. At least in principle the same RDMA switches and network components are commercially available. Similarly, the specialised CPUs like the NVIDIA Grace Hopper are available, although I doubt any wholesalers have it in stock!

To believe otherwise is to believe that governments (plural!) have secretly hidden tens of billions in cutting edge chip fabs, tens of billions of chip design shops, and more.

In reality the government buys their digital electronics from the same commercial suppliers you and I do.

Only a handful of specialised circuits are made in secret, such as radar amplifiers.

OK, that's fair, I was being too critical of Gleick's book.

Even so, this doesn't really get at the high level symmetry. Gleick's book might give some motivation for the chaotic points being restricted to a compact domain (space? manifold? area/volume?) but I don't see how to make the leap to the highly structured gross level symmetry in the OP.
Mozilla has boatloads of money, but they don't seem keen on increasing investing in FF- if anything, cutting servo seemed quite the opposite.

To me, Mozilla is like the Wikimedia foundation- they take in a lot of money, but it seems like very little actually goes to the projects people think of when they hear the name.

Maybe that isn't a bad thing- surely there are worthy projects they could be investing in, in addition to FF or Wikipedia - but supporting them isn't as simple as offering more bodies in seats, because lack of money and talent isn't what is holding them back.

There is a massive assumption that only justice systen will have access to this data. We know this data is sold to anyone, even criminals.
But look! A parliament, with actual-looking elections! Actual-looking (though of course rigged) presidential elections! Free to open your own business! (Well, subject to dealing with mafia and corrupt police.) The influx of the Western merchandise, and of the Western media! And the Communist rule most obviously gone!

It was quite different from Soviet times, different enough to keep an illusion of things going in the right general direction in a sufficient number of people, especially in large cities, despite impoverishment and wars. The powers that were pushed the idea that it's either these transient problems, or the Communist rule back! (Which was ironic since many of them used to be high-ranking Communist leaders.)

After that, the mafia and KGB have completely overtaken the dominant heights, including the president office, so they strangled non-systemic local corruption. Oil prices also helped. The economy was growing. Some time in 2005, life in Russia might look genuinely attractive, if you happened to live in Moscow. Much like life in Shanghai might look fantastic, rich and free in 2005, too, compared to the times of the Great Leap.

But the authoritarianism bomb kept ticking.

We use words to describe abstractions which try to model reality as we observe it.

In case of "space time warps in the presence of mass" it's important to understand that this is just a model. Another way to explain it that there is no space-time per se, only masses (with special case of photon et al) and masses interact. What we mean by space-time is that if there was a tiny mass in this given point, it would experience given force. Or, again, modeled differently, travel along given path.

But if there is nothing to interact with, there is no "space-time" per se in this point, after all, it is an abstraction to describe interactions.

So, to sum up, masses interact, space-time is an abstraction to conveniently describe how they interact. Gravitational wave is two massive masses rotating and shaking third small mass as a result of distance changes.
And if you are printing colour, then a Brother ink-jet isn't a ridiculously stupid way to go either. I have a Brother DCP-J4120DW, about 7 years old.

Ink was last bought more than a year ago.

Unions can do whatever they set their mind to, and whatever their membership elects to do.

Like humanity itself and other broad categories, saying as a matter of fact that unions can’t do X, when some unions do X, is pretty asinine, almost as much as lumping more than 3B people into “Asians” or other useless categorizations. Particularly if the article doesn’t mention a country of origin being Germany.

You don’t even have to look very far from Germany to find a union negotiating WFH.

Replying to my own since it's weird to edit at this point.

About 12-14 years ago I was trying to figure out where to donate money for environmental concerns. Sierra Club was one of the first names to come to mind. They have pretty good PR and brand recognition (Green Peace had already painted themselves as ineffectual tantrum-throwers and phone botherers by then).

Even in the early 10's there was already a lot of bad press about John Muir with respect to First Nations and pastoralism. He was a very good man, but he was not a great man, and we don't make a habit of creating role models out of the least problematic person amongst a bunch of drastically problematic people.

But that stuff bothered me enough that I donated money to The Nature Conservancy instead and even put them in my will. They're not saints either, and by 2013 I was donating time, energy and a small quantity of blood to environmental causes instead of paying money for other people to do it. I am still a Legacy Club Member, but they get donations every few years and I donate a few hundred hours of my time to local projects instead. For a few years there, that was almost 10% of my free time.

If John were to walk up to me I wouldn't say 'fuck you' to his face, I'd shake his hand. I would say fuck you to everyone who wanted his autograph. The man was above average. The icon needs to die.

So I don't think the president of Sierra Club denouncing Muir in 2020 is some sort of overnight epiphany. It was feedback from years or decades of lost opportunities for fund raising, because of Muir's tarnished legacy.
I think Apple does a great job at this too, they under hire and operate each team as a small startup.

I find myself knowing so much less about the day-to-day personal lives of my co-workers.

Perhaps this is what people are referring to as team productivity?

Do some people work better as a team with that personal bond? That would result in a measured change but it would be foolish to expand it to all teams, which makes it all the more plausible why some companies are pushing hard for return to office.
> On the human level, sure. On the level of "fundamental economic system" (which is, I believe, the line of discussion), there really aren't.

One of the problems with this whole "debate" is that defenders of the status quo apply a huge motte and bailey to the definition of "capitalism". Both strawmanning any criticism of it as a rejection of all aspects claimed by capitalism, and also giving capitalism credit for systems that share some aspects of capitalism even though they haven't gone all-in and let capital run roughshod over everything else.

This dynamic is so common it has become a trope - kneejerk cries of "socialism". The original link that kicked off this comment tree was basically doing the same thing in more words.

The distinction between the motte and the bailey is easiest to see when aspects that we associate with capitalism end up in direct opposition to capitalism itself. For example, free markets can be directly opposed to capitalism, like in the context of imaginary property. A capital-centric view says that inventing a new form of capital out of whole cloth is the right thing to do. A market-centric view says that competition should drive the cost of information to within an epsilon of the copying/distribution cost.

What gave you the impression Coca Cola uses vanilla beans OR vanillin?

Different regions use different ingredients for Coke, so I guess it’s possible this is true in your region, but my coke can in California doesn’t appear to list Vanilla in its ingredients.

Additionally, there was this lawsuit about Vanilla Orange Coke containining vanillin, which leads me to think it’s unlikely there’s much Vanilla Bean involved in non-Vanilla Coke, at least:

With that said, numbers like 99% of vanilla being from vanillin does sound like a made up statistic.
