But what does it mean for a promise to be in the cache? If you're using an external cache, like redis or memcached, you can't just put a JavaScript promise in there and expect everything to work. Neither of those services unders

FWIW, those rules are relatively nuanced. It's not like someone ruled that Goldman can deceive all clients at all times in all transactions. Typically it comes up in places where there's a question of whether the bank is responsi

Right, it seems like the problem is more political than economic. Point 2 obviously flows from point 1, so the argument is whether point 1 is valid or not. In theory there might be viable ways to control inflation via taxes and other ways

You're talking about in the government employ right? Obviously no commercial enterprise will pay Joe Sixpack to do anything if he can't create value. So let's say that Joe Sixpack can't get a "real" job. Then

I was surprised to see a reference to "loans create deposits" in this article. I thought that concept was very well accepted and wouldn't have considered it to be part of MMT? Is the MMT part of this just that it also appli

I think it's interesting. In the case of Hovnanian, you have two companies who are making bets against each other on whether Hovnaian will survive. Hovnanian has no involvement in the CDS market on their own debt. And yet they were

Gimlets are more often made with lime cordial, marketed as Rose’s lime juice. This is different from fresh lime juice in that it has sugar and other stuff added. https://www.jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/

What’s the difference between cultural discrimination and constructive criticism? Can you complain that the Saudis don’t (didn’t) let women drive or is that cultural discrimination? Anti-FGM campaigns? I’m being intentionally obtuse but th

The two are completely unrelated. When I was writing vanilla JS it felt like half my tests were just focused on ensuring that everything remained the type it was supposed to be. Not in a static type sense but in a duck type sense at least

The “better explanations” are called epigenetics. Environmental factors can cause genes to be turned off or on and that in turn can be passed to children. So the environment doesn’t effect your DNA (Lamarckian evolution) but it can still ca

The problem with all the devs talking to users is that many of them are bad at it and have no desire to do it or improve at it. So that means you are either very, very limited in who you hire or you have to have some devs that don’t talk t

Contactless cards never took off in the US. I have 8 or 9 cards and don’t think any of them are contactless. So you can’t assume that everyone will have a contactless card and at that point you’re back to accepting swipes and cash. By int

There’s a big club in NYC that does this (Brooklyn Mirage), except they link your credit card to the bracelet and you don’t have to load credit. Makes the lines for drinks move so fast, it’s really outstanding.

Pretty interesting how much argument there is against this view on HN. I guess most people coming here now are not familiar with Paul Graham's essay (maybe most HN posters don't even know who Paul Graham is any more) http:/
