Infinite free money hacks is literally how fiat currencies work.

The government wants the economy to operate at close to full capacity, so it creates money and spends it into the private sector.

Eventually that money makes it to individuals, who want to save some of that money. There’s also foreign agents that might want to hold on to your currency, and trade happening that means some of your money leaves your country.

If the government maintains steady spending, this money supply slowly dwindles, which leads to a shrinking economy.

So governments issue debt to offset that dwindling money supply. The catch is that spending that doesn’t create real resources is inflationary, so you have to spend money on things that eventually earn you more money.

At the end of the day, that’s the idea of macro economics. Spend enough to get your economy growing, while making sure inflation doesn’t go up too much. Which is why people that complain about debt have no idea what they’re talking about.
The line that stood out for me in that article was: "There is no in-game reporting system." On a somewhat amusing note, I searched for stories about cheating on Fall Guys these days, and one of the first results was... a vendor for cheats. Literally the third result. Another result was a Reddit article from last February talking about the ubiquity of cheaters. There are similar articles in a similar time frame on Steam and elsewhere. TikTok at that same time has collections of videos of them.

While I'm sure that Easy Anti-Cheat is... easier than a reporting system that would require numerous humans working it, I don't think it's the best solution for the player. It's "just enough" at best, and at worst... well see the article we're all commenting under.

I'm not an expert but I think I have a reasonable understanding of the situation. If the US debt to GDP ratio gets too high, purchasers of US Treasuries (bills, notes, and bonds) will lose confidence in the US government's ability to service that debt and demand a higher yield on US Treasuries at auction, which increases the cost of servicing the debt. At that point, the government has two choices; pay the higher yield which eventually results in fewer services/higher taxes and a contraction in the real economy, or to default on the debt which would result in very bad things happening (this is where I cop to ignorance on the scale and exact details of the badness). We should get ahead of that by reducing our services/raising taxes now so that we don't risk a loss of confidence that would restrict our ability to borrow in a time of crisis.

If your farmer chose to ignore industry standard practices and agricultural regulations to prevent and contain such contamination at the source, they are indeed liable. And they can still issue a recall, and indeed must do so as soon as they learn of the problem.

Your vantage point is a bit too optimistic for reality. If it was not, we would not need courts.

That's not true, most just relied on him being a former president at the time of impeachment.

McConnell:

> “Former President Trump’s actions that preceded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty…There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day… There is no limiting principle in the constitutional text that would empower the Senate to convict and disqualify former officers that would not also let them convict and disqualify any private citizen. ...The Senate’s decision today does not condone anything that happened on or before that terrible day.”

Completely unrelated, but I find that other people will create problems by making an off-colour statement, something mildly offensive, or disrespectful and then when they get a reaction they say "why are you making a problem where none exists".

I consider my job to be being a skilled practitioner that develops solutions for complex problems using technology. New technology is available to allow me to do that for my employer and potentially many others. This does not worry me, but does demonstrate I have learning to do. I have set out on a journey to do that learning, and found it pleasant so far. I have enjoyed the changes it provides to my development workflow and find myself more productive.

Times always change, but being useful and providing answers will continue to provide value to business and society, and if one wants to focus on that over the minutiae of programming, they will probably have a much better time as things change more and faster.

This. Right. Here.
Ah, excellent, my mistake. Carry on.

---

I actually just looked up the arguments against Direct File, and the Republicans who oppose it argue that the IRS has no incentive to make sure that you pay the least taxes possible, while third parties do (in order to win your business). I believe this relies on the assumption that the tax code is so complicated that not even the IRS knows what you owe, what with all the special exemptions, tax discounts, etc. and therefore it takes a market to incentivize doing the work to navigate the tax code to get the biggest discount possible.

My reply to that would be that what this really means is that the tax code is too complicated, and keeping the market involved is killing the incentive to simplify it. If it were too simple, TurboTax et al. would go out of business. If Direct File were instituted and people found that they were charged more than they should owe, then this is a pressure to simplify the tax code so that the IRS can definitively tell you the minimum taxes you should pay.

What's your take on it?
>How did they get in, how did it happen?

Over half of US was apathetic and didn't vote.

You can blame the MAGA for everything that is happening, but they literally said this is what they were gonna do. Over half of the US, implicitly said, "Given all of that, and Kamala, it really doesn't matter who is the president".

Which is worse than MAGA IMO

It's utterly wrong to give Elon any benefit of the doubt in terms of his motives right now.

He's helping destroy the Federal government because doing so aligns with his interests as a billionaire.
I can agree that there is a lot of lifting for "management decision" on the page, but my point is pretty strictly that it is overstated. I'm largely used to this getting discussed much more generically.

That is, just as I am ok with AES on cars, I am largely ok with the idea that systems can, in fact, be designed in such a way that they could rise to the level of accountability that we would want them to have.

I'm ok with the idea that, at the time of that manual, it was not obvious that systems would grow to have more durable storage than makes sense. But, I'd expect that vehicles and anything with automated systems should have a system log that is available and can be called up for evidence.

And yes, Boeing was facing criminal charges. As they should. I don't think it should be a witch hunt for individuals at Boeing for being the last or first on the line to sign something.

In the general case, sales tax changes at the building level. While you are not legally required to pay a company to calculate it, US sales tax is prohibitively complex to the point that paying a company to calculate it is practically required.
Agreed - it’s arguably as much a risk-on behavior as the excessive spending they’re warning about.
They are using a similar cut-first mentality to what has been done in the private sector, but in the govt there are more considerations than the direct economic impacts of the actions. In an ideal world the better route is likely to spend more time on analysis before making cuts and to try and reduce variance, but it’s fair to say that might impede the initiative entirely plus they are trying to act quickly before the opposition wakes up.
The context of this was that Zelensky was being asked about corruption in Ukraine, and he was hinting that maybe USAID and State Dept might also have a problem.

I've had some success with them. There are tricks, you just need to look for them.

Unfortunately my product (https://nuenki.app) is very low margin so it doesn't quite work out, but I wouldn't write them off entirely.

AI just means that you need something other than your code to be the product. Also, both from pg's essay and my own experience, marketing matters more.

BTW you write like an LLM. I don't think you are one, but mind that.
This seems..absurd for a programming language with goals like Rust. Why isn't this a compiler option? Just set -nopanics and the compiler errors and flags anything which is pulling in a panic at the very least?
OrangeJS: Simple, Fast, Distributed, Cloudflare Apps
People who are poor managers or in positions of power, but not emotionally regulated or unwilling to get therapy, find blaming others easier than self awareness and doing the work of bettering themselves. Couple that with financial success and why should they when all our society values is how big your bank account balance is.
I've had landlords who would deposit checks with inconsistent timing -- sometimes several weeks after they received the check.

This results in a situation where the amount of money you have available to spend might be $rent lower than you actually think, unless you've determined whether the landlord has cashed the check or not. When I was the one writing the checks for an apartment I shared with my also-just-out-of-college roommates, that check was pretty big, often >50% of the value of my checking account.

While I'd appreciate the extra interest that I'd earn on that money sitting around for an extra few weeks, I'd rather have the certainty of knowing how much money I actually had.

(If the bank could show an effective balance, where the check is shown as a pending transaction, I suppose that would be fine too.)
Do things you like. The economic situation will go up and down, but spending your life doing something you dislike will never be worth it.
See my other comment. But, IMHO, you sit at a time where you will be able to make more cool things faster than anyone has ever been able to before. And that if you are a curious person and/or voracious absorber of information, you could become a skilled developer quite quickly and begin to use the tools in more meaningful ways and have a lot of fun and a cool career ahead of you.

I have been doing this about 12 years, and am quite comfortable in my position though. I can understand anxieties for new entrants in an industry that historically has been solid and reliable alongside high-paying. But fundamental shifts in how we work don't necessarily mean gloom. It means innovation on fronts that we haven't had to think about it for a while.

If making things excites you, its a great time to be doing it.
A lot of voters didn't turn out, so it's not accurate to say most Americans voted for this. There's also the issue of Trump saying Musk helped him win two key states during his inauguration speech, which some consider just short of an admission to rigging the election.

Only something like 3% of the population needs to actively strike and protest to start affecting corporations.
>The dems need to get off their asses and actually message that "hey, this isn't right or normal"

They have been doing that. The issue is that people just look at it all and think "its all political theater"

The only way anything will change is if the ~200m americans who didn't vote actually start to realize that voting matters. Texas could turn blue if all the people in the liberal areas actually voted, which would basically win the election for Democrats.

Fair that negligence would be a legally separate thing than "at-fault." I'm using the colloquial use of the terms here, for somewhat obvious reasons.

For my example, assume no knowledge of extra risk by anyone on the line. If you'd rather, consider the cashier at the local burrito shop that was the final non-consumer hand to touch the contaminated food.
Keep doing it, get formal training if you can or better any job getting your foot in the door.

Those are the stated goals. I’m not sure they are the actual goals.
I never said that we have no fiscal constraints, just that the common misconception is backwards. I also never said that the government chooses the rate. It chooses to pay interest when it chooses to sell securities.

I think the popular misunderstanding is more harmful than some of the misunderstandings you point out (which some people may indeed have) because it leads to people pushing austerity because of their monetarist dogma.

Nobody ever asks who's going to pay for stuff when it's so-called "defense" spending. But if we want health care or education then it's all apoplectic "debt, hyperinflation, enslavement of future generations, where's the money going to come from!?"
It's not that the body's response is problematic. It's that scratching is still problematic even if it does help some. The main issue with scratching is that it injures the surrounding skin including mostly healthy or completely healthy skin. This comes with a host of problems that are well established in plenty of other literature:

- Contaminating the site

- Spreading whatever is causing the initial wound

- Weakening the skin barrier and allowing whatever contaminant/infection to penetrate deeper/spread below the skin.

TLDR: They show a potential benefit of scratching (which may explain why it evolved in the first place) but suggest it doesn't outweigh all of the established harms.

While tax cuts do contribute to the national debt, it is not accurate to say the national debt is "100% of tax policy". Tax revenue as a % of GDP has been pretty stable for a long time.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S

So what actually is driving the national debt higher? The never popular answer is entitlement spending (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid) + interest, which is exasperated by an aging population. In fact, almost all future debt growth is driven by these programs. The rest of the budget is expected to balance out. Tax revenue is expected to increase, and discretionary spending is expected to fall as a % of GDP.
The trap that these EU projects typically fall into is that they burn all of the grant funding on paying politically connected consultants to write reports. No one gets around to building an MVP.
Yeah, I'm fairly sure that there is such a flag/toplevel attribute... and if there isn't, there should be one.

It also feels like most of the pains on avoiding panics centers around allocations which, though a bit unfortunate, makes sense; it was an intentional design choice to make allocations panic instead of return Results, because most users of the language would probably crash on allocation fails anyways and it would introduce a lot of clutter. There was some effort some while ago on having better fallible allocations, but I'm not sure what happened over there.
Does anyone know if there's an obvious reason that adding a `no_panic` crate attribute wouldn't be feasible? It certainly seems like an "obvious" thing to add so I'm hesitant to take the obvious nerd snipe bait.
Gotta fund those trillions in tax cuts for the 1% and corporations somehow.
I agree that there is a lot of junk going on in the US government, but Elon Musk is close to the last person I'd trust to do a good, unbiased job cleaning that up.
