I agree with this: inflation as an economic measure is an intentional policy tool to transfer wealth from the poor to the wealthy.

In the last few months we've seen headlines about inflation "levelling off" but that just means prices aren't growing as fast. The 20-30% increases in housing in particular aren't going down. In fact, it's intentional government policy to make sure house prices and rents never go down.

You mention Silicon Valley and others dismiss this as a result of the dot com bubble but it's really not. It's zoning policy. IIRC the smallest lot in Menlo Park or Mountain View is ~10,000 square feet.

But you see it elsewhere. The average house price in London is ~706k GBP. 30 years ago it was ~70k.

Inflation is used to justify wage suppression. Whatever the formula, it doesn't accurately reflect to cost-of-living crisis we're in.

They do bioaccumulate, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean "forever" for any substance. Even lead is slowly released over time (half life in blood is about a month). The problem is that if the stuff is ever-present in the environment, the body can accumulate it faster than it releases.
In terms of group I went to a showing of this movie

It’s a dark think to think about but sometimes I wonder what happens after the fall of our civilization (could be 50 years, 500 years, 5000 years, …) but that when such a thing happens the survivors turn their back on the old civilization so of course they burned the library of Alexandria. My take is that individualism (self as in narcissism) is the core idea of our civilization for better and for worse and that our successors would be very likely to reject that.

The word luck has no real scientific meanings.

Other wise, life on planet earth is a lucky accident, you being born was an accident, you now getting sever autism is mistake, you reading my comment is a lucky accident, You being able to understand what I am reading is just luck.

Life/reality does have some randomness but it's really naive to call all Randomness simply luck.

What is more accurate to do is to define things in terms of odds (probabilities).

And call something as having higher probability or a lower probability. Otherwise, everything does have an element luck/randomness.
Whether you consider videogames worthy of extended time and attention or not, that's entirely subjective and you are correct (for yourself) whatever your take is.

Even in the case of assuming that you consider videogames completely worthless and a blight on humanity, surely you can appreciate that the person in this video has demonstrated an ability to reverse-engineer and understand extremely complex systems that were designed and shipped under very tight deadlines and not-very-good tooling... plus they have the ability to teach this knowledge in ways that non-experts can easily follow and understand.

I would not say loving videogames makes for a good engineer, but I will say that my engineering growth was boosted by the opportunities granted to those videogames I loved when I was younger and how easy it was to inspect and disassemble them.

It seems to me that if/when AI gets good enough to take over all the jobs then stuff like this is what we'll have left to do. We can always make up games to play and compete on and analyze. Maybe that's depressing to you, but I guess I don't see anything wrong with it.

Strictly speaking, the source code needs to be made to users upon request. It doesn't need to be proactively published. That's just the easiest way to do it.

So it would be within the license to update "quarterly, and whenever someone bothers to ask".
No, I am using the literal textbook definition. This is why "a horse has 5 legs" is a fact, while "the universe is large" is an opinion. The problem with the latter is that large is subjective, even if most of everybody would agree it's "true", facts do not require agreement, perspective, or context - they can be demonstrated to be clearly right or wrong. A false fact is still a fact.

So back to the above, there is no subjectivity when a person murders another. By contrast, coveting something (or somebody) is very much a gray scale of subjectivity.
Probably misidentified as spam; filtering isn't really based on content, but at various times we've used third party tools to deal with abuse and have been constantly improving and bringing those in-house. If you email support with the details they can address it.

The biggest footgun I remember was some religious content (Christ on the cross, specifically) being identified as bad by some of these tools and filtered, which we obviously prioritized correcting.

No UGC site really has this solved 100%. Look at Twitter today with the porn reply bots. Facebook has 3-4 orders of magnitude more employees dedicated to filtering content than we have in our entire company. Automation ("AI" plus multiple signals) is the solution, but it's a hard problem.

That might be true for some vehicles only.

Subaru EyeSight cameras (there are 2x front cameras and 1x rear camera) are also used to detect moving and stationary objects, and it will engage the emergency braking if, e.g., you are driving or reversing into a wall. Lane detection can be disabled on Subaru cars, yet the EyeSight will continue to scan surroundings and be ready to start breaking.

As of this year, the EyeSight is available even on Subaru BRZ 2nd gen with the manual transmisson.

millions of rows per device. After my where conditions
I know I can have around 100000 devices

That's going to be a fairly heavy bit of data; my wild-guess estimate is around 1TB for 100k devices with 1M rows each of 12 bytes (4-byte ID and 8-byte timestamp).

Is there anything special about "specific_date_time_value"? An efficient architecture may be able to use that to avoid considering every row every time - for instance, using a queue to surface the "next" event easily.

So far I’ve tried modeling this in: - clickhouse - Postgres - mongodb

You can listen to Bing Crosby's Christmas album, to the song "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", where the parents having 4 children (household size thus 6) is described, as an anecdotal supporting note... since it was a popular song for the masses, 4 kids was not seen as unusual.

From the article, the biggest discrepancy between CPI and true inflation is a result of a change in the formula made in 1987 that removed interst rates aka the cost of money from CPI. The CPI formula replaced the actual cost of financing homes and autos with a new term, owner's equivalent rent. The argument made by the underlying paper [1] is that the older calculation better reflects the cost of living increases experienced by consumers and more closely correlates with the widely used University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment. Also, notable is that consumers care much more about the cumulative multi-year effect of inflation while economists only worry about year/year changes in the rate of inflation as can be seen here [2] (worth a click)

Maybe you should rectify this legal requirement rather than continue to flout it? Put your code where your mouth is and start producing your source continually, as is the requirement from the original developers. You wonder why people seem to hate MAGA folks: it’s because of stuff like this where you have a CLEAR duty under the license (or law in many other cases) and choose to ignore it, disrespecting everyone who creates mastodon upstream.

The standards have gone up considerably compared to 20 years ago.

I’ve been needing this and also HypoPG, which I didn’t realize had been available on RDS for a year plus!

The issue I’m struggling with these days is that I have an index that I want Postgres to use for one of the relations in a 3+ wide join, but unless I put a limit on a CTE of one of the tables, Postgres tries to run each join in parallel and ends up trying to join a bazillion rows like an asshole.

In what way was Reagan a fiscal conservative other than making the poor targets for pain? He destroyed half the social safety net in this country while running on a hideously bigoted platform and STILL ended up spending an insane amount of money compared to his predecessors.

To me there's only two reasons why people bring this kind of thing up with regards to schizophrenic person's unacceptable behaviour -- either they have no qualms with taking cheap shots on someone they know to have a crippling mental disability, or they're oblivious to the suffering that this kind of mental illness causes.

So which is it? Do you understand that schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that can cripple an individuals ability to process reality and participate in society?

I would wager that Liz is the female author's younger sister. In the calendar period, the author turns 32 and has an 8th wedding anniversary, meanwhile Liz graduates with a 4.0 GPA.

Second guess: Liz is female author's father's second wife. Ailing, but finishing college as an older student.

It depends on how the program is itself distributed. For programs that users interact with over the network, the program must have a way to offer those users the source code as well, though it need not be located on the same server.

Paragraph 6d:

Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.

This just means that it should have some user–visible page that describes the software and any open–source components it uses, and that this same page should offer a way to download their source code. If you use an open–source component but haven’t modified it, you can send your users to its own webpage to download it if you prefer, but if you have modified it then you have to allow them to download the modified code.

Abandoned houses. They're all over the US, slowly decaying and collapsing, but at one time they were new. Someone assembled the materials and put in days of hard work, sweat, and blood building the house. They looked upon the completed house with all sorts of hopes and dreams in their mind. What happened? What was it like when they left? Did they hope to return someday? Or were they leaving behind a life of pain and suffering? Are there relatives that still own the house that look upon the house with disdain? Or is it a bank dispassionately looking to sell the land? Will it ever be bulldozed and burned? Or will it continue to sit in the corner of the plot rotting away to dirt and dust?

You make some valid points but one nitpick: what we call organic food today, they simply called food in the 60's since all food was by definition organic.
That makes sense, but at least China has to pay a cost for keeping it kind of opened but mostly closed.

It takes FAR more than 50ft to stop from 40mph. I doubt you can even react in 50ft.

40mph is 58 feet per second, so that’s less than a second to

Your “rule of thumb” is AT BEST highly misleading.

Typical humans take about 250ms to react, and that’s before you actually do anything. There’s 15ft (at least) gone before you even touch the pedal.

We tried many VPNs, and they all would stop working after paying for the mandatory few months, so I eventually gave up. IT is slow inside China even without using a VPN, and only accessing domestic Chinese websites (well, if you don't have YouTube, at least you have tons of pirated content to view).

This is with a wired line from China Telecom, China Unicom internet is fine for text viewing, I don't I bothered much with video (and really, it is slower than China Mobile 5G, I guess this has changed now).

To me, it seems like this is where a computer should be a million times better. It might take me or you a half second to figure out whats happening, but software should be able to immediately detect that a car is stopped in front of you.

This shouldnt be a problem at all with a LiDAR based system, but I can see how a camera system might have trouble with it (possibly indicating that LiDAR should still be used for at least the near future)

Consider simple two-dimensional space. A point at (1,0) is 1 unit away from the origin, as is a point at (0,1). But a point at (1,1) is approximately 1.4 away from the origin, i.e. sqrt(1^2 + 1^2). See Pythagorean theorem.

Prevention and preventive care are typically classified separately, although it's a bit of a gray area. US residents on health plans receive free access to preventive services including immunizations, screening tests, etc.

https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits...

But prevention is largely outside the scope of medical care. For issues like diet, exercise, and avoidance of substance abuse patients may be able to get help from a variety of other sources including public health agencies, therapists, social workers, dieticians, personal trainers, etc.
"Fiscal conservativism" is the equivalent of a household not purchasing any insurance, not going to the doctor or dentist, and saying "look how affordable everything is if we cut out all those stupid things? It's wasteful spending!" Then you get into a car accident, go to the hospital, lose your job, and cry about the inefficiency of the market because you now have a huge bill that you can't pay. It's short sighted at best. True fiscal conservatism would be all about social safety nets and free education to grow the economy, but y'all just want to save a few hundred bucks on your property taxes, everything else be damned.
The standard of living today is immensely higher. If you wanted to live at 1960 level you could certainly afford to do so. You’d have 1,000 sq ft of house, a single unreliable car, almost never go out to eat or travel, etc.
