inflation is low because people are buying less; remember that inflation is calculated based on actual expenses (a "basket of goods" but that basket is adjusted based on how much people are actually spending); demand for the newest tv or plastic phone case is down; people are still buying the same amount of food and using the same amount of gas, neither of which are tariffed because of exceptions to the tariff rules

prices are up so people are buying less, it's just that simple; only a handful of companies have reported their Q4 christmas earnings but retailers' are already forecasted to be way below previous years'

that assumes that external suppliers were not already at their cheapest price point and that they were not competing with each other already

it also assumes that there are no other alternative markets to sell to or that supplier capacity is equally elastic; the US might be a high margin market to sell to, but if you only have a fixed amount of product to sell then it makes no sense to eat the high cost of a tariff to keep selling a low margin product when you can instead sell your product at a medium margin in europe

building out more supply for a product is often capital intensive if you want to make it at an economically efficient price point in these times; efficiencies of scale are hard to overcome and a rapid shift of economic policies makes anyone uncertain about future investment so it takes a very long time for these supply chains to rebalance, if they ever do

Recursive parsing of CFGs is only better when they're LL grammars, but LR grammars (which are the most common grammar used in programming languages) are definitely better with an explicit stack due to the repeated way the state machine needs to run. You might be able to do a nicer LALR parser recursively but I personally haven't seen one.

That’s only used for .NET and other ms technologies. There is a totally different ecosystem surrounding WebAssembly.

You didn’t adjust for risk in your comparison. The s&p 500 has many companies in it that are far riskier than a grocery store chain. Now I can’t say for sure what the aggregate risk is, so you may still be on to something there. In this instance though you’re comparing apples to oranges.

I don't know about the mind uploading... but the fact that device is applying electric shocks to a person's body and physically destroying them is a massive problem. Any respectable mind uploading would leave the original in-tact. A standard autopsy of the person's body would discover the site of electrocution and the damage associated with it, incriminating the "huckster" under at least "gross negligence" (the only crime for which mens rea is not necessary) up to first degree murder.

That is horrifying that your medical issues could be used against you in insurance, mortgages, and licensing... I'd suggest just leaving the country at this rate or getting the diagnosis in a sane country that won't share this information and getting the medication from over there (assuming you can move somewhere close to the border)

I think a state in which people are culturally more polite to each other then it becomes okay to allow concealed carry.

What are you talking about?? We completely understand aircraft lift. Bernoulli's principal is a nearly irrelevant footnote that gives a small boost to efficiency.

Aircraft lift is caused by the upward angle of the wings forcing air downwards as the jets move the plane horizontally forwards. This "angle of attack" is usually very small so it's hard to perceive with the naked eye when looking at a commercial aircraft.

There's a reason doctors call it "practicing" medicine...

(And it has nothing to do with the word practice getting a connotation of imperfect performance long after that phrase came into existence. :D )

It's also contested because while intuitive to a countable set of countable sets, generalizing to higher cardinals is not intuitive. Although the same could be said of the Power Law as well...

I hate you and and the awful layout you have just introduced me to... Also, that is how I will be formatting all my SQL from now on.

PAUSE frames are only for the link in question, you should never look at the source address, only the port that the frames were received on

That's not that big a deal since the UK is essentially cut off from foreign countries by water (except for northern Ireland, but there's already a ton of exceptions around that...) I wouldn't be too surprised if foreign plates got pulled over randomly just because it's so rare.

This is certainly true in some jurisdictions (including Canada where my home country bias lies), but I don't think it's generally true everywhere in the US.

Also, a lot of people may not just need a CPAP machine but a more advanced bipap machine that also pulls instead of just pushes.

This is a great idea. Have you considered moving into the closely related field of localization? If your managing copy all the time then you also have to manage it in different languages. There could be a lot more you can do with that...

Keycloak isn’t really for authorization. It’s an openid connect provider so it really does authentication (identifying who the user is). Maybe they’ve been adding features to make it better or you can shoehorn some authorization into the jwt token that your app uses, but that’s generally not a great way to use it.

Latency has always been part of the CAP theorem. There is a strictly stronger generalization of it that says in a consistent system the latency of a transaction is bounded by the latency of the links in the network. In the case of a partition the network latency is infinite, so too is the transaction latency, thus no availability.

Careful, memory barriers/fences have nothing to do with caches, they're for establishing an observed order on when the processor is using out of order execution. The cache still has to be strongly consistent at all times or else there's nothing that a memory barrier can do to save it.

What happens in this case if a customer cancels their subscription? Do you suddenly owe Pipe a bunch of money?

I'm going to go against the grain here and say I actually quite like this. It's totally non violent. People can still record cops doing their job. They just face challenges posting and sharing such footage on social media. Honestly I'm of the opinion that social media is a net detriment to society, giving social media more fuel for the fire is not a good thing. If there is truly something wrong, then mute the video and it becomes like watching security footage, you can clearly see something wrong and if there's important words then subtitles fill it in, but it's no longer a viral smear campaign and it circulates on the merits of there being something wrong. The original footage can still be published, there's just a higher barrier to publishing it. The cops are also less afraid of being video taped so it's safer for the person recording the footage. All in all it's quite clever and I hope it catches on.

On the other side, I do hope that this eventually leads to reforming the broken copyright fingerprinting systems in place.

Question for others on HN: What if you used many cameras in a row, each separated from its neighbour by a single stiff anchor like a chain of Mobileyes? Then perform calculations between each neighbouring camera and gradually build up the necessary correction between the two cameras at the outermost points.

the Capitol riot was prompted by fascism and white supremacy.

If you're proud to be a fascist and white supremacist then this doesn't make someone not want to be one. If you're not then you'd be offended by that accusation that you are one. It's a polarising statement that target's an individual's identity, not their actions. It was an ad hominem attack.

Had you made reference to the disinformation campaign surrounding the election results or the President's remarks that actively fanned the flames of their outrage (outrage that they certainly perceived as legitimate but the rest of us know was misguided) then that would be a very different argument. It would be one that forgave regular people for being people and targeted those truly responsible. It's an argument that invites people to agree with you rather than making them the enemy.

I feel that your argument started out very strong but fell off a cliff at the end by making similarly alienating comments to what your parent made.

I think you might run into the issue of whether or not that capacity is actually being provided or just reported. You can definitely track that a procedure was done: you have the patient that you can contact to verify, bills for the materials that were needed, and bookings that guarantee no one was operating on multiple patients at once. If you just pay for capacity regardless of whether or not it's used, how do you know that they aren't just turning half of all patients away at the door and claiming that they provide the full capacity? There's political unrest about not enough capacity but your healthcare providers are saying no one's coming in and still taking the full amount of money.

I love that this point has been brought up. Everything I see has suggested that our emotional intelligence is actually falling if anything. We're inundated with self-help material that is just the same garbage spewn over again. Everything of value has been drowned out by the noise. People are struggling more than ever with their emotional state. Social media was supposed to be this great connector yet its practically crippling our ability to form connections. The cynic in me says it's deliberate; to subdue the masses, but I know that the reality is that there's just no money to be gained after you fix someone, and no one's going to pay to be fixed unless it's a guarantee. That's why we're stuck with individual therapy for even the most trivial things. Such a massive inefficient system we live in, and it's only made worse since there is money to be made by making someone less emotionally stable; by making them vulnerable you make them easier to manipulate and more succeptable to advertising. It's a cycle where the incentives are all misaligned.

If you're working on something and have to switch to another branch to do something else midway, that's what git-worktree is for.

Canadian federal governments are generally comprised of whichever party received the largest share of votes nationally. This is not always the case in the US.

I'm going to disagree with you on this. In Canada, the general votes usually result in 1/3-1/3-1/3 split between the Conservatives, Liberals, and NDP. It's our first past the post system for MPs that results in the uneven split at the final tally. The only reason that the system hasn't succumbed to gerrymandering as badly as elsewhere is that district changes must be prompted by a change in the number of provincial seats from the census. The changes themselves are proposed by an unelected third-party with members chosen by the judiciary of the province and the speaker of the house (who is chosen by the MPs through a secret ballot vote). Otherwise, it would be all too easy to gerrymander an election in Canada and end up in the same situation as the US.
