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.
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)
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.
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...
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.
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.
