> if policy was determined on non-Core, then one month the Fed would have to raise/lower rates, and then the very next month it would have to do the opposite.

Well, except Fed policy doesn’t really use CPI (Core or otherwise) at all. The Fed's evaluation of prices that informs monetary policy centers on the PCE, not CPI.

And while that's their key indicator, their actual analyiss underlying policy decisions isn't just applying a fixed function of current top-level indicators to get a monetary policy as output; there is considerable analysis of trends and what is going on below the top-level indicators, etc.

You don't need to board consisting of multiple Senate-confirmed officers with large supporting expert staff to apply a simple function of headline indicators from other agencies to produce an output, so the BLS not separately calculating and publishing core CPI wouldn't effect the Fed doesn't use CPI, and does a level of analysis with the indicators it does use that if it thought something like the particular aggregate used for “Core” was necessary and not in the publication, they’d just recreate it from the lower-level components.

Right, LPGL and AGPL are very different things and OP seems to have them confused.

AGPL and GPL do have a linking exception, but only for those two licenses and nothing else. (at least not as I read it - I'm not a lawyer)

> They regularly modify the list of items in the cart, meaning the data isn't reliable over time.

Please show me an economy where the list of goods stay stagnant and don't constantly change.

Unless your CPI is comprised of raw commodities like Iron Ore and Salt and Copper - then you're not going to be able to keep a stagnant list of items.

If x% of consumer food spending was on milk in 1920 and now it's 1/10th x - it doesn't make sense to keep milk with the same weight as it did in 1920.

It's pretty hard to tell if people are drinking less milk now because they're poorer or because they just prefer almond milk (which is more expensive) instead.

So, please, find a better & more cost-effective way to measure inflation. If you do, the government will use it.

Contrary to popular belief, we don't live in the USSR - where our government provides us with blatantly crap data. We just have shill politicians that spin everything into a lie.
With the immense success of the apple arm/silicon, is there a long term future of x86? I ask that facetiously of course, because intel makes extremely important and ubiquitous cpus used in so many market segments, takes in so much money, they can spend endless money chasing a better system that is vastly more power efficient.

But they haven't been able to make much progress visible to my eye. I am hopeful that some of the other arm projects that seek to match apple's incredible hardware succeed in performance and energy use, and we can have more desktop systems using it.

yeah, it truly is disgusting. especially Koontz v. watson.

Kansas lawmakers amended the law so that it no longer applied to individuals like the plaintiff, rendering the case moot, but leaving the underlying constitutional issues unresolved.
This is a bit of a tangent, but Google does comply with the GPL license, right?

Does this mean they've given every one of their employees legal permission to take a copy of the GPL code and its modifications home with them and distribute it as they please?

The legal permissions apply to an employee receiving the code, yeah? After all, the employee is a person and I don't see any special rules about employees in the GPL license?

Google might say that their employment contract supersedes the GPL in some way. But to the extent that their employment contract limits the GPL, to the same extent Google is not in compliance with the GPL license.

It seems to me that any one of the hundreds of Google employees could just walk off with the modifications and sell them or release them however they choose. All legal. It would be an action Google has explicitly given them permission to do in legal writ.

(I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. This is just my limited knowledge of the law and a bit of logical thinking.)
I'm surprised there's no open source registry of people who work in ad tech.
Implementation details are a pretty important part of policy.
The fact that they won't use AGPL software isn't propaganda lol. They literally won't use it. You may disagree about whether that's good or bad for the ecosystem, but it's a fact that most serous internet-based companies (and what tech co isn't these days?) won't touch it.
I used to think so, before I understood that we live in a mercantilist world economy. I still think protectionism would be bad in a less distorted economy, and I think it's bad in as-distorted an economy as ours (because people who are subjected to pressure are more likely to be adaptive and dynamic), but it's harder to make the case, don't you think?
German here. Congrats to your success. Now run away from Germany as fast as possible. It's not for evading taxes but for evading the crumbling German bureaucracy.

I recommend having a look at Estonia's e-residency.
Its easy for engineers to read the AGPL and share opinions, but this doesn't really get us further to understanding where the AGPL is appropriate. At the end of the day, it's what the lawyers think. If lawyers are advising companies that the AGPL is dangerous to them, then that is the reality, since lawyers are who decide such matters in court.
C is as much its implementations as it is its spec. And the spec came much later than the implementations, and really was designed as a common subset.
God damn. Bandcamp is where I get my music wherever possible - they're an amazing platform and product and I like the fact that my purchases are going to support the actual artists instead of vanishing into the Google or Spotify machinery.

Default chrome. I'm not even aware of the option you mention.
They tried in Windows 8 and printer driver manufacturers did throw a hissy fit. It was one of the big propaganda sources for "UWP is terrible" discourse because UWP gave the best printer experience for userspace printer drivers and that was Windows 8's carrot incentive to try to get the driver writers to upgrade. Rather than accept the carrot most of the driver writers jumped straight into "UWP is bad and no one wants it and please, please users should ignore the nice parts like the new print driver stack" bandwagon.
So, by giving that example you show that you have not understood anything of the discussion so far.

Let me spell it out: that's the defining moment of Tank Man's life, you have zero clue about what happened prior to that moment. And that's because really nobody seems to have a clue about who he really was, what his life was like up to that moment and so on. It's a singular act of bravery and one that I very much feel moved by. But I have zero illusion that Tank Man's life was nothing but an endless succession of moments like these where at every opportunity he did the right thing. And that's perfectly normal, doesn't make him any less, in fact it makes him more: because ordinary people making an actually stand when it matters is very powerful, no matter what their lives were like up to that point.
Major vendors of what? I had never heard of iText before (unless it is related to the 90s PalmOS software of the same name ? ) .

But in any case this is like trying to find problems in the GPL from a careful reading of the MS Public License. Sure the Ms-PL is a viral license from one of the "major software vendors of all history", but it is NOT the GPL.
It sounds like iText wants a license that requires other developers to credit iText. Free advertising. But that's not the AGPL. Maybe the BSD license?
> But the bigger point is that you conflate selling to a bigger company with more resources with “f[ing] their users,” which is just naive.

Because that's what happened to a lot of companies who got bought out - eventually the MBA sharks wanted their returns. Minecraft, MySQL, StackOverflow, Tumblr, Reddit, TwiXXer, they all fell victim to enshittification.

Others just ossified with steady streams of Big Money coming in like Mozilla, Wikipedia or a ton of stuff from Adobe. Or they got closed down by Big Corp because they were no longer "profitable" enough like Google Reader.

Personally, I'm happy enough that HN still exists.
Suppose you are just learning C++ language. There is a syntax error or type mismatch. The error message is 50 lines long and it does not make any sense to you. You already spent 10 minutes on it. What do you do now?

If there is an experienced C++ developer around who is happy to answer questions, great. Otherwise you are stuck with having to figure it out by using trial and errors and Google-fu. If you post it to a forum, it could take a while for anyone to respond. If you post it to stackoverflow, very likely nobody wants to look at your horrible code (natural for a beginner, you know), and your question gets downvoted.

By contrast, ChatGPT can look at your code and explain very clearly what is wrong with it within seconds.

This is just one example. And it's not only for beginners. I have found that ChatGPT can answer high-level questions in programming very well. The alternative would be searching for the Internet and sift through all the noise to find the answers as well.
Well there's no alternative. People will think you're dumb if you ask a dumb question that's just society. If they aren't talking shit to your face then they're thinking it. Can't change human nature.

What better source is there? Stackoverflow is the best IMO. I'm up for a better resource if a better one actually exists.
But they do deal with it -- by assuming it doesn't happen. Wrap or trap don't necessarily change that.

At its heart, behaviour that's undefined like this is a source of optimisation opportunities, because we tend (and especially the preprocessor tends) to write code that assumes it won't happen. C does not lend itself well to iterator patterns that elide the range check entirely, and so it is valuable to the optimiser to be able to assume that a variable that steadily increments will not suddenly turn out to have wrapped. So we may (for example) unroll memory accesses[0], secure in our understanding that when we add 1 three times we will get three consecutive numbers, and (where we would normally add another 1) go ahead and add four at the end of the unrolled loop.

If we trap at that point, the behaviour is different from if we accessed each memory location in turn and trapped when we actually wrapped around. In the C model, the behaviour is still clasically undefined, but we've added a trap to hopefully catch that it happened before running too much further. We still can't assert anything about the state of the program after the trap, to potentially recover from it.

People writing performance-sensitve code get frustrated when a compiler trades performance for safety, so we're probably never going to get "safe" C in that sense. In practice though? This form of undefined behaviour only kicks in at runtime. Make sure your software is bug-free and you need never worry about it.

[0]: Imagine you have a 16 bit signed int that you're using as input into computing an index into an array -- you may know that it's never going to overflow, but how do you tell the compiler?

They will be passed on, but Californians expect it. The prices are high, and the salary is high.

It actually helps them: They can import cheap goods from elsewhere and barely notice the cost.

I've noticed this in NYC - things are just so cheap relative to income that people don't care at all about items, they are very wasteful relative to other places I've been, and they kind of have to be, because they don't have much storage space. "Buy it, use it, toss it, buy it again when you need it." In contrast in places with more space (and lower income) people tend to store things for reuse.
sorry OP for highjacking this thread but ChatGPT is helping me invent stuff and it is relevant

I am still working on it. Invention game. Doing a beta test with some D&D players at a table top bar. You really have to read the Big Book I am making to understand it and yes I am making an overview video but I want to find a few colleges or classes first to practice. Its sort of a joke, me and my friends just come up with funny inventions. Sort of like the old SCP text game if you remember that. eBook kind of sucks. There's a poetry book that is integrated into the Big Book and it tells a story. https://mtrees.io/video-small.mp4 and https://mtrees.io/MTREES-PROMO-2.4.pdf

Still very much in Master Beta phase!
// she created an experiment on the efficacy of prayer by dividing her exams in two groups, praying for success only on one, the other one being a control group. She achieved the higher marks in the latter group

In at least Judaism - and I would expect in other religions, prayer is necessarily partnered with intention[1] - ie what is in your heart matters, not just the words you're repeating. Presumably someone creating such an experiment does not engage in the prayer with sincere faith and thus can conclude nothing from the outcome.

Reality is it is sort of mixed. For the OSS company actually building the product, you end up playing whack-a-mole in that anyone can spin up a competitor over the weekend. Look at what happened with Docker. They completely changed the landscape of running code locally and in production and was run out of town. Everyone and their dog took the code and re-packaged it and competed with Docker. Then compare that with VMware, they completely changed the landscape of running code locally and in production but they were able to protect that value and thrive as a company. There is definitely a lesson in there.

Sure, maybe this is a feature but if you're about to launch an open source sales model company you probably need to think really hard about that idea.

This is an interesting perspective to say the least. I’ve been impressed with the work their developer team has done over the years.

I can’t say I shared your troubles finding new music on there. It’s been the best place for me to discover new artists. The recommendation systems, following artists, and their unique write-ups on artists, scenes, genres are quality.

You’re take on what they ‘should’ be doing seems very misguided. I’m surprised that you think Bandcamp Pro is a hands-off marketing and promotion service. They are absolutely clear about what they offer for $10/month, and no where do they say they’ll promote your music for you.

They have provided an entire guide for _how_ to promote on bandcamp: https://bandcamp.com/guide
Sure, but given no better alternative, just use it and who cares.
> A cell phone from 2 decades ago is an entirely different product from a cell phone today. That needs to be accounted for.

A cell phone indeed, but for personal computers, the gain we got from the technological advances isn't as clear from a consumer's perspective. Sure there are niche activities like video processing or graphic editing, where the performance improvements allows for things barely imaginable 20 years ago, but for most use case people have, there isn't that many significant difference:

- boot time: despite SSD, consumer PC still take minutes to boot when they aren't brand new with a fresh install.

- web browsing, not even faster.

- Word and Excel, barely changed over the period.

- video games: sure they have more realistic graphics, but that doesn't make them more enjoyable otherwise.

The average house computer is now a laptop that's permanently plugged to the socket (with a long dead battery) instead of a desktop. It takes less room in the house, but also has a much smaller screen, a worse keyboard and no mouse. Is that a net gain?
What do you think will happen when the Socialists will take over? Do you think they will look kindly on your various "freedoms" to be "different"? Check out Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea or even China. Don't think for a second that the San Francisco will stay the same under the totalitarian Socialist rule. The "intellectuals" and "different" people will be the first to go. Always happens, according to history, because "think different" people tend to question the authority and it's a big no-no under the Socialism. Oh, and you will get a free (somewhat crappy) healthcare.

Flashback to a very common question about relative imports in python that had mostly outdated answers, or very hacky non-solutions but that kept being referenced in newer threads. You actually had to scroll way down to get a reasonable answer. Even then, there was so much confusion and "works for me if I just set the path manually (lol)" or "add __init__.py in this folder" , "no actually don't remove __init__!". Which okay I guess sometimes questions have multiple answers (though the answer way down the page was objectively correct!) ... but then why close newer questions if past answers were messy and very non universal?
Just calling someone dumb isn’t constructive. Instead tell them what you think Bandcamp had to offer.

> Inflation from 1993 -> 2023 is 113%. Slipping a waiter an extra $20 has 113% less meaning in 2023 than it did in 1993.

That $20 has 53% (1 - (1/2.13)) less meaning in 2023 than in 1993.

If it had 113% less meaning, the 2023 meaning/value would be negative and the waiter should rationally turn it down.
