Yes, probably true. Those (cars, housing, renovations, education) are things financed by debt and can continue rising. But I suspect they are conveniently down-weighted from the CPI. For example, if they let the…
Consumer price inflation won't rise unless a relevant proportion of consumers get more money to spend. There should be enough slack behind all goods in the cpi basket that disruptions won't permanently affect the price…
> They get extra visibility + traffic clicks from Google -- but also want to be paid for it?!? Visibility is not a meaningful "reward" for established European newspapers (they are not unknown hobby bloggers.) The issue…
It's not intended to be read as instructions on how to be promoted. It is directed as much to managers and higher levels so they understand the boundaries and expectations. One basic idea; a) recognition of level based…
The total IFR is essentially an exponential function of the age and health distribution in the population. Without specifying the population further, many numbers can be correct. When high IFR:s are presented to the…
Images from an inspection show rusty water leaking out of the parking garage roof. They mention "standing water". So the reinforcement steel was in various stages of decay.
This exemplifies how housing is a depreciating consumer good, not an "investment" like owning land. But the time-scale of depreciation is on the order of human lifetimes, and since humans are generally only exposed to…
Tink started as a clone of Mint through data-sharing with Swedish banks. This was probably enabled by shared ownership somehow.
It seems the easiest and coolest way to make a watertight case would be to plug the usb-port with hot-glue and then pot the assembled board in resin (epoxy/polyurethane). Either pigmented or clear.
> You are responsible for the success and the growth of the people who report to you. You must deeply understand and know your people. Not sure about this at all. I'm more attracted to the model where the "manager" is a…
Views are equivalent to "query templates" unless for example they do operations on subquery aggregate columns (for example group by sum().) So views don't add complexity relative to giving the query explicitly. It might…
The point here is to do migrations live while clients randomly connect and stay connected for random time. When all old clients have disconnected, the old schema can be removed. The point is not to let old clients work…
I think the European equivalents of faangs were killed in the dotcom bubble. These business models were probably considered "toxic" by investors in the 2000s because of dotcom trauma, which might have been worse in…
One real world use-case of ~HE is blind auctions, where no one can see the bids. Electronic voting is tangential. Encrypted storage for random cloud services should be at least decades away.
If a game has strong positions and weak positions, then these positions may have different tactics. "Offensive" or "defensive" etc. This reads to me as "tactics for those in winning positions". The test is, what if…
The reason this happens is not because "large organizations move slowly" or "interoperating with old systems is difficult". Rather, it's because the people who are directly responsible for ux, error messages, etc have…
Could the process not delete the row, and not commit until it has finished processing? Otherwise, the transaction is rolled back when the db connection ends. This would not require timeout or clean-up. One would need…
I'd be curious to see services designed to run as PID 1 inside containers, and contain or run nothing else other than the required binaries. Maybe someone is doing this.
From the chart: Moderna evaluated in adults 18-55 (N=15) AZ evaluated in adults 18-55 (N=41) and 56+ (N=62). So yeah. Ok.
I suspect the background is the app is showing html-views rendered on the server, and they are sharing as much infrastructure as possible. To make it easier on the app team. If they separated app/cdn/web with different…
"The reward system on the corporate ladder has become inextricably attached to a kind of professional abuse - that the only way to rise within a company is to be able to 'take control' of a department and its people."…
> Price the electricity accordingly, and make PoW impossible. The problem is that other productive things are priced out before "mining". The environmental cost will be born either way, but mining is by definition not…
Far fetched analogy; a woman laughs at your jokes to acknowledge that flirting is welcome, not as an involuntary response to your brilliant humour. Does reading your documents really create value for others, or do you…
Let's say the electric company wants to start a restaurant. So they shut the power to the competing restaurants in the neighbourhood. Everyone agrees it would be outrageous. Now, what about Apple dictating payment…
A fair definition would be: a job is bullshit if when someone stops "doing it" there is minimal or positive effect on the economic output. And here is an article arguing that jobs are legitimate as long as people "feel…
