There are plenty of countries that are seeing inflation and didn't get any stimulus money. The official explanation blaming the war also happens to be the better fit temporally (you'd have to explain a two-year lag) and sectorally

The jump in 2020 is explained by a footnote saying that the definition was broadened in May of that year. Other than that, the rate is unprecedented in absolute terms only in the way that any chart of exponentional growth will always be.

This is like taking ten COVID tests, one after another, and declaring they must be broken when they all come back positive.

Gmail also ignores the dot. If you choose a 17-character mailbox name, you can use any one of 2^16 different patterns of placing dots between them. Capitalisation could also be used for such a purpose, but may be more likeely to accidentall

Yes, but when the electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, that process is only 40% or so efficient, whereas using the heat directly is lossless.

Aehm, no! Afghanistan was a reaction to 9/11, since the ruling Taliban had been accomodating and supporting Al Quaeda. The first (or second, depending on how you're counting) Gulf War started with Saddam Hussein's invasion of

"Have to emulate most software", WTF? I just checked activity monitor, and of the 575 processes it shows, exactly zero are not native. ...but I can see how you may have trouble interfacing with things, like reason or society. Also

I was waiting for the paragraph "revealing" that it's George Soros or the Rothschilds pulling all the strings... The topic is ripe with (sometimes actively harmful) conspiracy theories already, it's neither funny nor enl

I vehemently disagree with the (second) invasion of Iraq, but pretending it's the same to step in when some dictator has torture as a favorite hobby as it is to invade a peaceful and happy democracy is taking the cynicism a bit too far

Money doesn't create natural gas. If you shut down a pipeline bringing in some amount <x>, and you cannot find a new source to get that amount, somthing has to give, somewhere, you have to use less of the stuff.

Nobody is denying anything, except people claiming these are easy decisions to make and some approach a totally obvious choice. Finland & Germany have changed more drastically than either one has ever before, and more than anyone else i

The problems havve absolutely nothing to do with technology in the streaming-video sense of the word. It's about trust, versioning, truth, reality, and similar concepts. Maybe Linux development is a good example, with some centralisati

"Luckily" they know that! Porous paywalls are price discrimination. Someone willing to restart their browser/wiggle their VPN/watch an ad etc. is just not at the point in their life where they are likely to pay, so it&#x

Yeah, according to HN, the invasion was mostly the NYT's fault... Realistically, there is zero chance the invasion would have happened without exaclty that trio of President, Sec-State & VP, plus or minus a Wolfowitz. But the Repub

A "silent war" is to a war as a silent rock opera is to Bohemian Rapsody: something entirely different, even if you try to change the definition of words. War crimes need a war, and crimes. Albright didn't commit any crimes,

It's a regurgitation of "common sense home-truths", none of which are true by some person that should just stay out of other people's business.

Didn't watch the video because video explainers are a waste of time unless you're illiterate. But from the description, the title should be "this guy can't upgrade the SSD".

That comment is awkwardly phrased. That comment is off-topic. That commentator is advised to get out more.

Oh, look! It’s the same „flaw“ people have been explaining each other for a decade. We’ve all seen it dozens of times, yet Google apparently remains in the dark.

As the article notes, the policy has been used, including against Facebook's partner Cambridge Analytica. So I cannot say that it will be "happening soon", but it is certain to "have happened already".

A trained model is a set of rules to go from, for example, an image to a tag identifying the object it shows. That's an algorithm. It is not "statistical regression", even if that is the method that was used in its creation.

Can you come up with an example for hate speech, in the medium of photography, without including written works or photos-of-photos(-of-text)? Besides, the benefit of requiring pro accounts is that it includes identification of uploaders. Th

It still is leagues better than any large alternative. Just asking people to decide on a license, and suggesting CC-licenses, made it into a vast repository of Free content. Compare and contrast to, say, instagram, where i guess everyone is

Elementary's "attractiveness" always felt skin-deep to me, triggering some uncanny valley effects more than enjoyment. Even the basic premise that what people like about Apple is adequately described by "attractive to lo

I've configured VSCode for this purpose. You can set a proportional font, at which point you are already halfway there. The default syntax highlighting already assigns scopes for headlines, bold/underline/italics, lists, code
