Maher is one of those people who I agree with some of the time. Somehow he manages to be anti-woke but also anti-GOP, which is a unique position. He’s interesting. Maybe he’s just libertarian.

In any case, I was at my local city town center this weekend and it was an absolute madhouse. It was like Black Friday of seasons past. I’m not sure where the money is coming from except credit card debt, and I guess people are saying “fuck it” to that? It sure would be cool if this ended up being a precursor to a nationwide debt strike.

Why weren't there international observers at birkenau? Why aren't there any in xinjiang concentration camps? Same answer to all three.
The VN debiaser is very simple but it's not very efficient-- it loses a lot of your randomness.

Under the same IID assumption you can take N flips that returned M heads and map them to the N choose M possible ways that could have happened. The result will (under IID assumption, even in the presence of bias) be a uniform number on the range [0..N choose M). The ctz(N choose M) trailing bits can be used directly (as they will be uniform) but the rest would have to be converted to binary via something like an arithmetic coder or rejection sampling.

The result is muuch more efficient.

Less directly, VN debiasers can also be stacked. Each debiaser outputs three streams: the normal one, one that says if the normal one output anything, and one that says if it got HH or TT. Then run VN debiasers on those. Though it takes a fairly large tree to extract most of the entropy.
Right, then you can just pay for Google's rather affordable non-free business version. Then you'll get reasonable support, well-reputed support.
Linux adoption is 100% incidental to to Valve investing in their own platform, which happens to be built on Linux. It has little to do with the technical merit of the platform where games end up. BSD isn't one of the biggest gaming operating systems because it's so great for games, it's because Sony needed an OS more free than Linux for their console.
You are just spreading FUD at this point, they do care, devs just don't want to bother, that's different

Exactly. China sees the current sale price of Russian petroleum products as just such an opportunity, and is using the Northern Sea Route to move the products (1). The Russians have recently passed a law to further assert their control of that route (2). Interestingly, the US countered by conducting what amounts to a freedom of navigation operation in the area (3).

I am sure that counts. Probably tied into someone's bonus as well.

With two usb sticks it’s not that much work to take one witha fresh backup to my mom when I visit and take the other one back and update that backup. At worst I lose one or two logins.
I guess a good measure of tipping point is when the interest payment begins to approach GDP. As things stand today the interest payments is ~$900B[1] and the GDP is ~$25T[2]. Assuming the US govt collects ~10% of GDP as taxes it's making $2.5T. I'd say we are still quite a while away before the aforementioned tipping point.

Disclaimer: I'm not an economist and just made up this measure, happy to stand corrected by experts.

> the current system allows you to bind actions to a particular physical key

A particular physical key... on a QWERTY keyboard.
But we don't have QWERTY keyboards, so having to bind something to KEY_Q when you want it to map to an A is stupid.
You aren’t far off.

Costs vary hugely depending on machine spec and how it’s run. A gold plated set of contracts with specified uptime is not cheap, but it is easily a saving when you can’t bill thousands an hour due to an outage.

Spreading the cost over 10 years is a little misleading. Scanners can last 15 years without too much drama, but upgrades every 5 or so years which cost hundreds of thousands can be expected.

An outpatient scanner will not get 20 hours usage per day where I live, but a hospital one could.

Staff costs, as you note, are huge and dwarf the scanner costs over its lifetime. I wouldn’t be surprised if staffing was a 10x multiplier on scanner costs.
Similar vibes to "if JSON is so great, why haven't SAP and Salesforce rewritten their SOAP APIs?"

Huge companies are slow to adopt things. All the smaller companies I've worked for used GraphQL, but even then I didn't see the benefit over a regular REST-like API.
> you said revenue is more important

No. What I said means that relative change isn't a good metric for any of them. But it's much less bad for revenue than for profit.

It's mostly not infected computers, but rather poorly configured proxies that are open for anyone to bounce malicious traffic through. Convincing everyone to clean up their open proxies is a long-term, hard problem. But I plan to tackle it soon....
Also worth mentioning that for a period of about 8 years the U.S. government had a guaranteed buyer of U.S. debt, the Federal Reserve, who simply printed whatever amount of money was necessary to purchase U.S. bonds on the open market to the tune of what is estimated to have been 4 trillion dollars.
Steam doesn't even have ARM64 support on Windows or macOS. And neither do most games.
The point that the others are trying to make is that these questions are not relevant in the context of the backend technology choices. The REST or GraphQL endpoints could be handled by monkeys writing bits via typewriters and it wouldn't affect the CPU usage in your browser.
This is contrary to my understanding of mainstream keyboard technology. Scancodes, like what you're looking at with Linux input, mainly refer to physical positions relative to a “standard” keyboard, and the labels in the header file for the alphabetic section are based on assuming the keyboard is QWERTY. A keyboard that comes from the manufacturer with different-layout keycaps on it will still output physical-position-based scancodes, and KEY_Q in the header file is not normally generated by the key that the manufacturer shipped a cap labeled Q on; it's the key in the position that would output Q if it were a QWERTY keyboard. (Though there's a few edge cases around e.g. ANSI vs ISO layout.)

This idea is corroborated if you look in the USB HID Usage Tables that the Linux input event codes are based on. From https://usb.org/document-library/hid-usage-tables-14:

> Note: A general note on Usages and languages: Due to the variation of keyboards from language to language, it is not feasible to specify exact key mappings for every language. Where this list is not specific for a key function in a language, the closest equivalent key position should be used, so that a keyboard may be modified for a different language by simply printing different keycaps. One example is the Y key on a North American keyboard. In Germany this is typically Z. Rather than changing the keyboard firmware to put the Z Usage into that place in the descriptor list, the vendor should use the Y Usage on both the North American and German keyboards. This continues to be the existing practice in the industry, in order to minimize the number of changes to the electronics to accommodate other languages.

This can get somewhat more complicated when you get into keyboards with custom remapping firmware where they do actually shift the scancodes around, but that creates other potential issues, and users who are doing that basically just have to deal with their own integration tradeoffs. Similar considerations apply to keyboards with non-mainstream physical layouts.
It was literally unsustainable then as it was in 1933. Unsustainability, now that it is pure fiat, has to be defined in order to answer the title question. The definition of such, may differ from person to person or entity to entity. In my opinion it is unsustainable when the inflation from printing to pay the interest or rate hike recession causes social unrest. We are arguably in the midst of that right now, though very few people realize how their lives are being impacted by the printing of money. Stable means of exchange is the single most important factor in preventing revolution.

The fed is in a bind. Print and inflate or QT/rate hike and recession. They've been putting a thread through the eye of the needle. The eye is getting smaller and the thread bigger everyday. One day they won't be able to sew.
Illustration: country A and B both see an upcoming demographic crisis and decide to get ahead of it.

Country A ensures they don't run deficits and pay off their debts to prepare.

Country B prepares by incurring a debt to build hospitals and train nurses.

20 years later the demographic crisis hits. Country A cannot build hospitals and train nurses fast enough to meet the need so the price of both skyrocket and the piles of money they "saved" is inflating away to almost nothing.

Meanwhile country B is fine.
You're misunderstanding, the _disagreement_ on it is novel, and there is no agreement currently.

It's a novel set of parliamentary procedure shenanigans, starting about a decade ago, that it's up for debate.

That's why people talk about stuff like the platinum coin.
> Although that's a theoretical model, and there's many companies that don't pay dividends at all and still command mighty stock prices (e.g. TSLA) this is how real companies are actually valued

Gotta look at stock buybacks too, which are effectively the same thing but more tax efficient for investors. (Though TSLA doesn't do significant amounts of that, and many other giant companies also don't do it relative to profits either, so your general point still stands)

Seems like attacking Google would be a bad target for street cred as compared to govt websites.
Interesting. I like the option which Edge gives, which is I select the profile that gets URL opens from outside the browser (my "main work profile") and add site-level exceptions that route certain sites to the right profiles (example: LinkedIn links should open in my personal profile, Demo Server accounts open in the dedicated demo profile).

If I relied on "last active" I would frequently get things opening up in the wrong place just because say, last time I was in a browser I happened to be in a my personal profile, and 30 minutes later, I click a link in work Slack.
According to Modern Monetary Theory, debt levels do not matter. Japan has sustained a 200% debt-to-GDP level for decades. I don't think the US has very much to worry about for a while, despite all the fearmongering.

The best way I’ve heard it explained to help people get it through intuition is by changing the number of doors and goats. Say there are 100 doors, and they all have goats except one, which has a car. You pick door 1. Monty then proceeds to open doors 2 through 48, skips door 49, and then opens the remaining doors. After all that, he stops and asks you, would you like to switch?
No. This is not a ISP problem and the ISP can not solve this - it’s not even visible to the ISP for encrypted connections. This a problem with HTTP/2 itself that web servers / load balancers / proxies need to account for.
When I see threads like this, it just makes me think that we need copyright reform.

It's like the film industry has had its way for too long, and we need to change a few of the rules to make content consumption a little more consumer friendly.

Otherwise, consumers are going to keep pulling out their eye patches if we continue to let the content industry believe they are in 100% control of where, when, and how you consume their content.

Semiconductor profits !== revenue.

Those semiconductor companies can make lots of revenue, but operate on thin margins, because a competitor can also build a fab. Think graphic cards, Radeon(now AMD) has consistently built worse graphic cards, with less R&D, but sold at a cheaper price point and survived throughout the years.

TSMC has some extra expertise that others doesn't, and has good profit margins because of that, but together with NVidia, they are the champions, and others are constantly catching up. As with many things in a capitalist system, prices face a race to the bottom.

Related to bleeding edge fab. 14nm has suffered some shortages, but even that has changed.

One example is Apple, even though they've managed to increase their revenues (and products sold) a lot because of Covid, that demand is down. Apple is projected to have less revenues this year than the last years.

The same has happened with PC sales. What has been really driving revenues and profits up in this space is AI.

I don't believe this will continue. More competition will drive profits down, meaning it'll be a less attractive field to invest for VCs or investors.

Semiconductor business is more akin to package food products in my point of view. Some products can enjoy a nice margin because of their brand, taste or being hyped at a specific moment, but the majority of it compete on thin margins.

It isn't like Meta, a closed garden, that has plenty of data and have a product that got everybody addicted and dependant on it, either social networks or communications, that because of network effects is extremely sticky. Where only regulations and government intervention could pose a risk to it.

But wall street and people's expectations(and valuations) on semiconductors is suddenly as if they are building the next monopoly. Monopolies only exist because there's only one, what I see is a reaaaally fragmented market, with high CAPEX, thin margins and low moat.
This is a novel ddos attack. Did you all even read the article?

If they break into my iCloud then they’re in my iCloud. They’re not in all my other accounts, because I use an encrypted password manager that isn’t iCloud.
Right, in which case passkeys would be equally secure. But if you DO memorize the password (for example for your most sensitive account), then it feels like traditional 2FA is more secure.

That being said passkeys win if you also take convenience into account. I've updated my original comment with convenience scores to reflect that.
I assume what they are going for is that if they were inversely correlated it would imply that movie piracy drives down box office revenue (since you could say "the more pirated a movie is, the lower its box office revenue"). Since they aren't, it implies that piracy does not significantly cause reduced box office revenue.

I've brought it up a few times before, but you can read about another study here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15319476 that assuming my previous comment on it was correct found for example that every pirated movie is 0.27 of a lost sale, whereas every pirated video game is actually 0.24 of an extra sale. If 0.27 was actually 1 or more, then a result like the linked study would have been more surprising for example.

Its quite a lot to pay just to make a gamejam game available though, and that is where indie developers starts out. If you can't publish your toys without paying 100 dollars then it is a huge issue for onboarding new developers who just want to test what it is like.

Well .. it's a novel minimalistic attack. A trivial attack.

Cloud Flare also got one of these, 201 RPS.
I'm convinced things like git will need to include bugtracker capabilities at some point. A commit log is one thing, but internalizing decision matrixes and issue reports will be important to not repeating the mistakes of the past 4 decades. We need to keep the history with the history and a 1-3 line commit message will not explain everything for the devs that come 3 decades later.

It seems to me that people will believe the US is good for its debts until we behave like it isn't. Japan, of course you know, has debt like 300% of GDP so clearly some kinds of countries are able to manage even ridiculous amounts.

The problem though, is that the US seems to be behaving like it may not be good for its debts lately. Not that it can't outgrow them, but just that things are getting more worrisome payment-wise.

You remember we used to have budget crises and shutdowns every once in a while (every few years), decades ago. But now it happens like every 2 years, and it seems like it's getting worse. And you never think that disaster will strike until it does. One of these days we're going to miss a bond payment, because some leader will want to "show everyone", and people will be shook, I think, when everyone realizes that the US is not some special country that can never default on its debt. That will be a sad day.

And it's all the more likely when everything is 50:50 paralyzed -- very easy for one bad step to take us over the brink while everyone is unable to do anything. I'm no fan of the ridiculous right wing "republicans" who are playing games in Congress, but they do (by accident) have one thing right. We are really far from balancing the budget[0], and both the spending and the debt are getting worse over time with demographic pressure. Not that "balancing the budget" is a requirement in the simplistic household way that they or the public generally think. Incurring debt has its purposes for a growing sovereign nation. But the way we're doing it / reasons we're doing it for is sleepwalking our way into a big hole.

Unless we're willing to behave as a country like it's not a problem, it is a problem, and growing.
