I'm convinced that the feedback I send using the Alexa app goes nowhere. It definitely isn't used to improve Alexa's ability to understand the simple phrase: "play NPR".

Edit: I almost forgot. There was also the time it stopped understanding "stop". It properly parsed the word but didn't know what to do with it. IIRC I had to use the mobile app to stop playback that day.

If a textbook isn't available because it's still being written by the author, then true, that's the real scarcity of the author's time. But if a textbook is finished but isn't available because effort is put into preventing the information from being freely shared, then that's artificial scarcity.

Restricting access subject to payment is currently the most common method for extracting profit to incentivize creation, but it's not the only method and for digital goods it's incredibly inefficient.
But actually less features than OpenStack. Kind of weird that they didn't just package OpenStack. A vendor to manage it for you would actually provide business value
I obviously haven’t tried it, but the video does not show the new hanger being used on the old rod that was implied to be the initial goal of the project. Instead, they only show the hanger being used on rods with special grooves or notches cut into it. Making such a special rod seems to be a lot of work, and I assume that they wouldn’t do that unless it was necessary. But most importantly, it seems to me that the hanger would just collapse if put on a regular smooth rod.
> Can anyone explain to me why it is awful for a person to live in debt but it is okay for the federal government to do so?

Not sure its awful for a person, depending on the kind of debt, but people and the government are differently situated. For one, people (natural or corporate) who have a debt in something that isn't a token that they can issue at will have an externally enforced obligation to do whatever is necess5 to acquire those tokens and sacrifice whatever is necessary to deliver them to the creditor.

Currency-issuing governments with debt in their own currency have an obligation to... ultimately, if nothing else works or is desirable, just poof up some currency.

Also, for certain governments, there isn't a vastly more powerful external enforcer of whatever obligation they have, whereas with most people, there is, in the form of the local government.

Problem is they‘re going to be doing audits constantly when you get out to recover the money. The lawyers will never give up. Buy a house and they‘ll goto court to get the house. Buy a car same deal if new and worth a few thousand second hand. Go on a bunch of holidays get audited by IRS since you‘re meant to be broke, is that unreported income?
if it were just an object, it makes more sense that the seller does the leg work. they know the object, the market, etc. they're the expert.

why does a buyer need a expert on all the objects out there?

I know there's technical examinations like a home inspection that the buyer would have done, but if you're just talking about navigating the property and legal docs, seems like the buyer isn't going to need an agent to do that other than once to accept the price.

Somehow the argument against more money for infrastructure is never levied against freeway expansions.
My initial thought after reading this comment is, it probably requires a lot more "tech" and design work to allow bikers to have that seamless biking experience while giving them the desired boost. I remember seeing a lot of discussions around how certain motors "feel" on ebike forums.
> At Harvard, 28% of students receive no aid at all. So they pay full sticker price.

And legacies pay well above sticker price, when you count family donations. Which is why legacies are a thing.

The other reason legacies are a thing is because when you send your first gen Ivy kid to an Ivy, the dream is that they're going to move in those social circles for the rest of their lives. Doesn't work without legacies.
Your last sentence says it all.

Honest question, is an EV really less expensive than living closer to work for most people? I live in a city where rent is fairly high, and I'm fortunate enough to afford a comfortable apartment with a roommate. To buy an EV though (if I wanted one...), would be completely out of my budget.

If the math works out for some people, they should do what's best for them. But I don't really think that is the case most of the time. Living in a modest apartment and using your bike is almost always less expensive.
da fence is a broad term
I think the root cause is further up the chain of casuality. People need cars because they live in the suburbs, they live in the suburbs because they have children, they want to raise children in more square footage than the urban housing stock offers.

Notable exception being Tokyo

Ironically, if you look NYC in the 1910s, kids used to play baseball in the street because it wasn't yet overrun by cars, suddenly not enough space for kids, so move to the suburbs, which means more and more cars...
Cops and public transport are two completely different things.
Yeah, adding directly with an LLM is a bad idea. Instead, this would be basically making suggestions linked back to the Wikipedia snippet that a person could approve, edit, or reject. This is a flow for scaling up annotation of data that works pretty well, as it also sucks having a ton of the gaps in the structured data, if it's sitting fine there in the linked Wikipedia page.

I'm hardly an expert, but I think "government debt" and "government investment" are accounted for the same way, but only the former is a problem. If the government sells bonds/T-bills (eg acquires debt) and uses that to improve the country in a way that benefits the citizens and encourages population and economic growth, then its worth doing. If the government uses the money only to pay interest on existing debt, or to give it away to make wealthy citizens more wealthy, or other unproductive uses, then it's not so good.

The attacks directly on the national debt are a political strawman, meant to distract from the real issues about where revenue comes from and how it is spent. It's like the constant debt ceiling wailing; Congress sets a budget and legislation that requires spending more than the revenue available, then sets a debt ceiling that prevents the treasure from borrowing to cover the required by law spending, then bitches and moans and grandstands over how the debt ceiling creates a crisis. It's all for show.

We need to have a shared definition of rent seeking. Rent Seeking necessitates no economic value creation. I struggle to objectively see Apple's AppStore as a merchant of record deriving no economic value. Same for their subscription management, inclusive of refunds, fraud detection, payment retries. Same for their IDE and development pipelines. CloudKit with automatic syncing and object management just built in via CoreData // SwiftData. Oh and discoverability via a single source of truth for Apps. And numerous more...

I would encourage anyone to try doing a fully 1:1 app in both web and native iOS for good measure to judge for themselves. Perhaps you could say 30% is a 'premium'; however after 1 year it drops down to 15%... objectively, I struggle to characterize the dev ecosystem as 'rent-seeking'

It can be used to optimize consensus and transaction protocols.

Consensus example - check out Nezha (https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.03285), they came up with an interesting 'Deadline Ordered Multicast' (DOM) primitive

Transactions example - look no further than DynamoDB, https://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2023/08/distributed-transa...

In my walkable neighborhood you know how this problem is solved?

The same way it was solved for centuries, high foot traffic incentivized a small grocer to pop up within walking distance. People in the neighborhood generally take jobs in the neighborhood, because there is high foot traffic, so there are jobs. Even doctors and nurses can get in on that, because it’s dense enough that a hospital is easy walking or biking distance, and their jobs are 100% not remote-friendly.
Evidence like total cost of car infra vs taxes that ppl pay? Evidence that low density areas are subsidized by high density? All this info is freely available online. Difference is US can afford to be in debt, other countries - not so much

I’ve had the same experience mostly writing web apps in Ruby, which locks similarly to
Python. Multi-threading is always needed to saturate IO, network, etc, never CPU, so GIL isn’t an issue. I always wondered what people were doing that ran into issues.

With Python being the language of choice for ML workloads I guess it’s more common to have the CPU be a bottleneck. It seems cool they’re making an option to turn it off for those use cases.

It seems like Python could maintain a GIL compatibility option to preserve the current/old behavior for legacy code.

Why would anyone care about an audit if there are no repercussions?
Wait till that becomes a 40yr fixed rate. I see two viable ways to unlock the current supply/demand stalemate in the US (please chime in if you can think of other alternatives).

People can't afford the 30yr payment (interest rates), can't drop interest rates (inflation), supply dried up because who is giving up that low rate for a higher one.

So push the payments out over a longer period of time and drop the monthly hit.

That or allow people to carry their mortgage under the current rate to a new property.
Sorry, but 'Fallacy of Composition' is just a theory. (Disclaimer: I happen to disagree with it.)

Ultimately the way these ideas about economic theory are approached is a lot more philosophical/religious-based (for the Atheists, please read that 'strong belief-based') and a lot less math based than some would be willing to admit. Honestly the math itself is usually statistical, which in turn is a lot more difficult to comprehend and analyze properly.
I fold the legs together (fold along the zipper, basically) and put them through the hole, which folds them again roughly above the knee.

There's very little room left on the hangar when I do that. Just like in that site's method.

So given a regular hanger will have ~10% of the hanger left empty with pants on it, and the new hanger cuts the continuous length down by 40%, I don't see how it'll be wide enough. Maybe her small person pants fit, but it doesn't seem like mine would.

The feeling of entitlement people have around open source is unsustainable.

Do you have standards? It doesn't sound like you do.

People with healthy boundaries set standards for themselves as far as what they give to others and what treatment they accept in return.

I think the fallacy in your argument is that you're blaming contributors for noticing that they aren't being compensated for the work they've done, rather than blaming others for using that work without giving anything in return. I see your sentiment reflected in society in the way we treat low-wage workers with disdain for not doing more lucrative work. You're applying the principle of rugged individualism to a systems-level problem.

A healthier way to approach this would be to list a number of possible solutions and debate them in an open forum like this. When we find solutions but fail to adopt them, then that's a criticism of our agency. We are all failing ourselves by failing open source contributors. Then we can look beyond that to find the reasons why. Which are obvious because they are the same as with any other power imbalance. The fault lies with the wealthy and powerful people and corporations who profit from free and low-wage labor. The solution is to organize labor into a unified front so that exploitation can no longer happen.

Our failure to solve open source compensation is analogous to failing to stop suffering in developing nations which provide labor and resources for wealthy ones. Your argument places guilt and shame on workers instead of identifying exploitation by the wealthy, which might be better spent on something like an open source endowment or UBI more generally.

My wife and I got an electric cargo bike with seating on the back for both kids this summer, and we love it. We jokingly call it our "mini van" and we've put ~170 miles on it, many of which would have been (gas) car trips otherwise.

Initially I pedaled a non-electric bike when all four of us wanted to go somewhere, but after a month or so we got a second (non-cargo) ebike.
No, to clarify the salary is being paid but the stock liquidity program ended. However, single trigger RSUs mean tax may still be owed on those RSUs at the market value when they were issued.

So some people owe tax on eg $100k in extra “income” for shares they can’t sell anymore.
That article is pretty incredible.

The movie industry is going to be a wild ride over the next few years.
Google thinks 2-10 homes sold per year. Assuming the same on the buy side, at 6%, using the median home price of $416,100, that's $50k (2) to $250k (to 10) per agent per year.

(That accounts for the split. That doesn't account for whomever the agent works for taking whatever cut.)
Given how often I see the EVs though, it seems EVs must be more in active use.

I honestly do not get the Open Source movement.

> It is quite literally a free lunch at the expense of hard-working individuals.

Yes! This. That's the point.

I'm a Free software developer and that's why I give my code away: to solve someone's problems with software. I can do that. I'm not particularly good at most things, but when it comes to writing software I'm very capable. In other words, I am a "free lunch" generator.

To me the entire point of computers and software (where these intersect with economics) is to change the structure of the economic system itself to a more humane system (that works in harmony with the global ecology, but that's a tangent to my main point today.) "Let the robots do the work and we'll take their pay."

Science and technology have won the day. We have the knowledge and resources to take care of everybody on Earth without "disadvantaging anybody" (as Bucky Fuller liked to say.) You don't have to "earn a living" anymore. We won history.

Software is just the clearest, cleanest example of the general phenomenon of science and technology obviating the physical bounds that held us back until now.

Getting back to software development: technology should be deployed so that folks only have to work a few hours a week to pay for their living expenses (e.g. $300 per month should cover food, housing, clothing, health care, etc., and over time that number should decrease!)

In that milieu people can develop software and give it away without the extra constraints of having to make it profitable in and of itself.

This is the whole point of technology in general and computers and software in particular: change the structure of the economy so that we can all "live happily ever after".

(And get on with space exploration and mitigating climate change.)
I think the rank and file at health insurance companies need to be held accountable when breaking the law. The law itself must be designed in a way to prevent such behavior eg.: Any action such as trying to deny medical service or outsource decision making into a gray zone such as ai shall be punished hard- also on an individual level.
It is utterly unnecessary to discuss the individuals moral obligations or to start another meta discussion on capitalism. This type of reasoning is extremly harmful as it deflects the needed discussion about the law.

You probably agree with me. It just struck me that our misunderstanding comes from the different approaches europe and the us are following. While we tend to make up rules in advance, the american strategy is often about giving the market more options and having it regulate itself by class action lawsuites down the line. When we talk about health you must admit the „free market“ strategy has failed and europe is doing a far better job.
I tried it 4 times. 3 times, I got "the stranged hid their face", which I understood as they weren't showing a face at all?

I have routinely found more homes by looking around the neighborhoods I wanted to buy in than what I found on Zillow. They don't seem to capture all data sources well (or something else may be afoot, I'm not sure)
Also, on a pragmatic level... I think an ecology built around scripting in multiple languages (because you have to support emacs lisp -- that's what things are written in now) will actually make it more confusing to do future development, and now debugging/extending other people's packages requires competence with both languages -- potentially, anyhow. You end up fracturing the community.

Something as simple as getting advice for solving a problem on web forums would also be affected by the dichotomy. I think that might be worse for newbies.

Still, I think it's fine to run the experiment, and see if that is what people want.
In addition to what the sibling said, I think at this point we mostly acknowledge (even if we don't accept) that Apple treats their users like children.

Eisenhower warned this would be a thing and here we are, it's a thing. The best we will ever get is the illusion of spending being under control.

None of that is relevant to this discussion. We are talking about someone who spent time growing a skill and is charging people who want him to use that skill for whatever they are hiring them for.

Worked with a guy ten years ago that would obsessively read these reports from the Pentagon. Here's a couple of his stories about the matter: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/pentagon/ and https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-mari... (very old and I apologize for my horrific javascript at the time.)

It sounds like nothing has changed. Relevant to this crowd, maybe: "Most of the Cobol code the Pentagon uses for payroll and accounting was written in the 1960s, according to 2006 congressional testimony by Zack Gaddy, director of DFAS from May 2004 to September 2008."

"Wallace, the Army assistant deputy chief of staff, says the system has "seven million lines of Cobol code that hasn't been updated" in more than a dozen years, and significant parts of the code have been "corrupted." The older it gets, the harder it is to maintain. As DFAS itself said: "As time passes, the pool of Cobol expertise dwindles.""
