It isn't a guarantee of peace, obviously. The same logic applies to everyone and there are still a lot of wars. But the warmakers tend to struggle to achieve the sort of results that the Chinese do and as a government they have a 50 year history of success through peace not war.
Yes but what tipped the scales was when policymakers all over the place started requiring adblockers. For example if you manage a company with 100,000 employees, you can push a button in Google Admin that installs uBlock Origin on all their browsers. Those people didn't have a choice. Enough organizations probably did this that I imagine it started threatening the whole economy.

There is no rule prohibiting the withdrawal of margin cash. Or, for that matter, short selling and withdrawing that cash. As long as you're Reg T compliant, the Feds don't care. (If you're a family office, even better--you might get to be treated as an institution.)

> They started out with around a three second kernel boot time but cut it down to just 300 ms. Among the optimizations carried out to really speed-up their boot time were ensuring more asynchronous driver probing, only initializing a small amount of RAM at start and then after booted hot-plug the rest of it in parallel via systemd, optimized root file-system mounting, disabling unnecessary kernel modules, and similar approaches. Moving forward they are still looking at optimizations for the boot process around in-kernel deferred memory initialization, SMP initialization changes, ACPI tweaking, and user-space/systemd optimizations.

> if you live in America are paying property taxes on your home

I own in Wyoming. My property's assessed value is like 1/10th the market rate. My neighbour--just checked!--who owns a property like ten times my size, across two plots, and far more lavish than my own has an assessed value similar to mine. The real estate records even have a line item for "actual value" separate from assessed value.

Not familiar with the specifics, but I know California and New York similarly have assessed values that are entirely unmoored from what the property is actually worth.

A part of the increasing of the renewable share in Germany electricity production is also the result of a decrease in total electricity production. In 2017 Germany was producing 560 TWh (with 138TWh solar + wind) vs 430TWh (with 192TWh solar + wind) in 2023 and probably even less this year. That's why Germany is importing electricity.

I built the first half of my career as "a guy who knows SQL" (and Excel macros but I digress). I then rode the early wave of Analytics Engineering.

dbt is kinda like Vite (dbt = data build tool) for folks working with data warehouses. Their biggest contribution was a mindset shift that applied principles of the SDLC to the traditional BI/Analytics space.

Almost overnight, analysts went from building business logic in GUIs like Talend or Tableau to code-based models (SQL) checked into git repos instead. It took what Looker was doing with LookML and generalized it across the BI stack.

This shift (+ associated tooling) resulted in less brittle data pipelines, increased uptime for dashboards/reporting, and more sanity when working with more than 2-3 people in a data environment.

Imagine a situation where you're at an e-commerce company and need to reconcile orders from Woocommerce with shipments in ShipStation, returns from tickets in HubSpot, and refunds issued in Stripe. dbt simplifies the management of the relationships between these various systems.

Based on this, you can build data models that allow you and, increasingly, your business stakeholders to answer questions like "Which SKUs have seen an uptick in refunds due to reason X this quarter?" and "Where were they shipped?"

The benefit of having standard abstractions means you can build metrics on top of the models as [gkapur](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41853925) mentions such that "revenue" is the same when marketing pulls it for calculating CAC as when finance pulls it their monthly reports, etc.

There is another difference that is related to risk.

Larger loans allow access to lower risk opportunities.

If I had many millions in stocks, and I was greedy for more, I would borrow against it to develop residential real estate in a high rent neighborhood. Yes, there's some risk, but it's as close as you can get to buying a money fountain. I'd be very confident that the rents from the building would pay back the money I borrowed and then some.

Even if I borrow against all my holdings, I can't afford to make that kind of investment. The only options I have are much higher risk. And as you said, I won't survive a failure. Therefore, while the bank would let me do it, I would be very foolish to try.
Nothing like it, actually.

Hemingway: All of life’s problems start and end with a drink. You drink because there’s something inside you that’s broken, something you can’t fix—or at least not yet. Anxiety gnaws at you, born from problems you can’t solve, or the weight of old trauma. The bottle seems like a way out, a moment’s peace from the storm in your head. And for a while, it works. The drink quiets the noise, softens the pain. Soon enough, the drink that was supposed to save you is the very thing pulling you under. The problems you were running from don’t disappear—they grow, just like your need for the next drink.

I agree with your philosophical stance, in general, but this particular use case is one that I've been wanting for years and where I think altering the image can be in some ways more "honest" than showing the raw camera feed.

With an unfiltered camera, it looks like I'm making eye contact with you when I'm actually looking directly at my camera, and likewise it looks like I'm staring off to the side when I'm looking directly at your image in my screen.

A camera centered behind my screen might be marginally better in that regard, but it still wouldn't look quite right.

What I'd really like to see is a filter for video conferencing that is aware of the position of your image on my screen, and modifies the angle of my face and eyes to more closely match what you would actually see from that perspective (e.g. it would look like I'm making direct eye contact when I'm looking at/near the position of your eyes on my screen).

You could imagine this working even for multiple users, where I might be paying attention to one participant or another, and each of their views of me would be updated so that the one I'm paying attention to can tell I'm looking directly at them, and the others know I'm not looking directly at them in that moment.
It's a nice reminder though.

This is because for a long time, the USA does not tax assets other than real estate.

Our tax system is structured around the fundamental idea of taxation occuring on transactions, whether that's income in exchange for labor, income resulting from the sale on (non-real-property) assets etc.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing (it might be, it might not) but it's the way it is.
The USA still has an estate tax.
Billionaires have income? Then why, as this article says, they don't pay tax? Do they really have income? Or should we use some other word for that?

Well in a language like Haskell you could solve this with monads and do-notation. The general idiom in Haskell is to use a Maybe or Either monad to capture success/failure and you assume you’re on the happy path. Then you put the error handling at the consumer end of the pipeline when you unwrap the Maybe or Either.

I believe Rust has adopted similar idioms. I’ve heard the overall idea referred to as Railway-oriented programming.

In C++ you could implement it with exceptions, though they bring in a bunch of their own baggage that you don’t have to deal with when using monads.

It’s a mixed bag, but the funding source doesn’t necessarily make it a controlled market, to the degree that Medicare and Medicaid pay non-government providers and allow competition (which again, is mixed). Medicare and Medicaid coverage make up one third of the US population. The other two thirds are on group/employer insurance, private insurance, or no insurance at all.

For non-seniors, the medical insurance system certainly sometimes doesn’t feel like a free market from the consumer perspective, but the insurance companies are private for-profit institutions, and the medical providers are too, so it may well fit the definition.
