> the Fed badly miscalculating their rate hike policy

There is a mis-frame in politics that the current status quo is always good and should be preserved. I strongly disagree with that, and think we would get much better results if market leaders weer replaced when it is evident that they don't understand how to create real wealth. The idea that allowing the market to fall is 'miscalculation' is in itself a political topic.

Personally, after the evidence of something like 2008, it seems a reasonable theory that the current leaders in the US economic system - particularly bankers and money managers - are mismanaging (potentially even reducing) real wealth and America simply started from a very strong position so taking a long time for that to become obvious and unchangeable. I havn't heard good reports about the infrastructure situation in the States, and they are starting to lose military dominance to the Chinese.
TI chips can be quite affordable.

TBH, 'Custom aluminum extrusion' - this is not a big deal at all. In China, the tool for this is < $1k and for what appears to be about 6 inches, perhaps its a dollar's worth a material if it was WAY overpriced, most likely less than 50 cents. And the tool will last for a long time...
I have used Zulip in the context of a well-tooled coding/debugging workflow and I can't think of anything it didn't do that would have been useful. Nice integrations with JIRA and other coding oriented tools. I didn't like the Android UI, but that was a minor point at the time since I'd have to get out my laptop to address an issue anyway.

I use Slack for some projects currently, and it's pretty good most of the time, and brilliant some of the time. The UI is slick AF but it stumbles some places, such as spreading UI verbs around the menu bar, a pop-up menu, and a button bar without having the menu bar replicate things like accessing the pinned items pane, which is only a tiny monochrome button in the tiny button bar. IOW it's slick until it isn't.

Overall I'd say if you add Zulip to your task list for setting up a coding workflow you won't regret it. Slack is a little easier to get non-technical people on board, especially if they are more smartphone UI oriented, but Slack is no bed of roses, either, when it comes time to explain to users when channels, threads, topics, stars, and pinning are useful.
Respectfully, having read your other comments: I'll answer that question if you demonstrate to me an understanding of the difference between $300M/3 years capex and $8M/month/3 years opex.

If you do that, though, my answer will be "right, so we're done here."
> This makes sense. Primaries are internal party business. It's totally up to them to decide how they select their candidates.

New York is the only state which conducts primaries this way.

> The general elections are where the citizens get their say.

No, because general elections are uncontested (due to gentleman's agreements between the two parties not to run candidates in each others' districts, and laws making it infeasible for third parties to do anything but cross-endorse the major parties).
Well, yes, if you're paying $1.00 per unit of bandwidth and selling it for $1.90, that's what will happen. What else would you expect?

I suppose that could be interpreted as ~50% margins, rather than ~90%. Not sure how that calculation is actually supposed to be performed.

What is the relevance to the story of how the driveway was made? None. There is no relevance. Just masturbation by the author.
The points aren't OpenBSD specific though:

* ASLR - every modern OS has some form of this.

* FDE - there are reasons (IIRC) FDE is better at FS level than block so this is sort of a negative.

* LibreSSL - OpenSSL API is still a tire fire.

* PIE - Possible on IIRC fbsd, nbsd, linux, etc.

* UTF-8 only libc - there are issues here, such as strcasecmp.

* noexec - IIRC this has been cross OS since the dawn of time (at least early 2000's).

* pledge - pledge is cool, I'm trying to implement something similar using google kafel and a macro that turns `vow(id, kafel_string, flags)` into a compile time bpf filter.

* strlcpy - is sort of junk as it has to iterate over ALL of src so for example strlcpy(d, "superlongstring...", 2) will read all of "superlongstring..."

> With fiber, the clone and build ought to complete in about a day

That's insane btw. Great that you're ok with it, but utterly impractical for me: ADSL is maxed out at 800kbps and due to line noise generally get 80kbps. So I tether, using 4g and 0 to 1 bar of strength. During heavy cloud and rain it drops to hdpsa.
Interesting idea; it's not something I'd thought about. I definitely figuring out what SMTP server to use is the hardest part of Zulip server setup, and I had believed there was nothing we could really do to make it easier. I guess the concerns I'd have are:

* Do people running on-premises actually want us to be an intermediary for all the emails their Zulip server is sending? I would imagine if they were happy with that, they'd be happy to just use Zulip Cloud.

* How does 3CX avoid this service requiring them to do a bunch of anti-spam work?
> I'm just saying that when someone says "this particular attack was definitely from country X" they're usually full of shit.

Coming from your average sysadmin that may be true but that's because they have little intel to work with. Some ssh logs implicating China in a brute-force attack, some malware with Cyrillic characters and linguistics, CNC in Iran, operational hours coinciding with a Brazilian workday...attribution is more an art than a science, hence the number of false positives.

That said, the government agencies have more metadata and packet tampering capabilities than they let on. When they need to make a point, they don't tip their hand-- evidence is fabricated through parallel reconstruction or we get just vague assertions with no evidence at all.

So who knows. At this level the question is less about technical ability and more about how much we trust our respective governments. Ours has certainly lied to us as the pretense for a military campaign before.
Cuomo Speaks With Bezos, Hints of ‘Other Ways’ to Clear Path for Amazon’s Return
Since it's Friday, how about a little devil's advocate. Does anyone here ever think about alternative economic systems similar to getting rid of money, like what the Federation does on Star Trek? Why hasn't an online group (similar to a utopia) formed where members contribute a portion of their incomes and receive a UBI? A single unicorn could pay everyone to work on unrelated projects and solve real global problems.

I'm not really driven by money. I work more for the betterment of society, to help important projects that could change the world, to help others start their careers, and for self-actualization, or to not have to work someday, things like that. If I had solar panels on my roof and a little robotic hydroponic garden in my backyard, there's not a whole lot else I would need from the world. I might consider putting the bulk of my income into a pool for everyone if it meant that I could finally be left alone to research and invent on my own and make a larger contribution to society than the narrow goals that capitalism has for my skills.
Let's not forget, that of the $3B in subsidies, only $505M was a capital grant specific to Amazon, itself tied to Amazon investing $3.6B (see https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-and-mayor-de...).

The rest of that $3B figure was from _existing_ programs that are also available to other companies, should they meet the eligibility requirements. The Excelsior program at the NY state level made up $1.2B. The other bits are ICAP and REAP, which are NYC programs. The city projected that Amazon would be eligible for $897M from REAP and $386M from ICAP through 2038. I say 'projected' since AFAIK, these are incrementally granted credits based on what is incrementally delivered by the employer.

The city/state projected 107,000 total direct and indirect jobs, over $14 billion in new tax revenue for the State and a net of $13.5 billion in City tax revenue over the next 25 years. And $186 billion in Gross State Product for the New York State economy over the initial 25 years.

This was a tremendously positive deal for NY/NYC and despite multiple polls showing majority support among constituents for the deal, it got tanked by a vocal minority of far-left socialist activists/politicians. Governments and companies need to develop a stronger spine, ignore the social media outrage machine, and learn to sift out/ignore loud voices who have the time to engage in a visible/disruptive manner (which incorrectly skews opinion away from silently-held opinions that are equally valid).
When the conditions are right its extremely easy for a wildfire to start. Lightning strikes, a glass bottle in the sun, a camp fire, there's so many different ways it could get started. Does it really matter that it happened to be PG&E's equipment in this case? If not them, it would have happened anyway from another cause. It seems unfair to hold them liable, or at least, the extremely hostile tone in these comments seems a bit overboard.

In my early teens my family moved to rural northern Idaho and my dad decided one day to burn some of the brush on our land to clean it up. Well, being from a much more suburban setting we didn't know that that's a real no-no that time of year. The fire got out of control and started burning into the trees and my mom, brothers, and I frantically fought it with hoes and buckets of water while dad tried to plow over it with the bulldozer (we didn't have a phone and this was an hour drive from a fire department). Anyway, we finally got it put out before it got into the national forest bordering our property on the east. Very very scary.

A week later there was a lightning strike fire in the national forest which ended up burning several hundred acres.

> San Fransisco has a housing crisis BECAUSE of all the $150k jobs

No, it's because there's a shortage of housing. There are plenty of places that have high incomes and low rents, because the supply of housing keeps up with demand. I doubt directional drillers in North Dakota are paying San Francisco rents.

> The presence of wealth doesn't CAUSE poverty. It exacerbates poverty. It's just incompatible in the same ecosystem.

I find this statement to be very dubious. Where would the homeless living in tents be if all the wealthy people had their salaries cut in half? They'd be in the exact same spot, except the government would have a lot less tax revenue to spend on social services.

Do you genuinely think that it's better to be poor in a poor country than it is to be poor in a wealthy country? What kind if life does someone in the bottom 10th percentile live in a place like the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Venezuela lead? What kind of life does someone in the same finacial position lead in Switzerland or Singapore?

> New York is the only state which conducts primaries this way.

That argumentum ad populum does not invalidate the offered justification.
that covers the fuel portion of it, but there are also other problems as well. If I remember right, Paradise is one of the towns that prevents you from pruning 'wildlife' near your home, and many neighborhoods and ordinances don't allow certain kinds of fireproof siding/roofing, because they 'ruin the look of the neighborhood'.

I kind of actually feel a bit for PGE here, while they are definitely wrong, it was not their choice to not follow guidelines on 'defensible space' for the town, and its roads.. The main roads out of town had vegetation right up to the edges of the roads. how is that safe?

Have you tried a modern forum, like Discourse? I'm trying to understand why many open source projects opt for chat platforms instead of a forum. Why are you resignating public and search engine accessible discussions?
An important note is that they use a global perspective rather than individual perspective in their solutions. While food is a bigger issue than energy when taking a global perspective, it comes down to the fact that a lot more people eat food than uses energy. For the individual a change in energy will create a bigger impact than a change in diet, assuming the person is using energy in the first place (ie transportation, travel, heating, appliances).

Or to put it in an other word, if we can get the full population of earth to stop eating meat it will do more good than getting the few percentages of the population that benefit from burning fossil fuels to switch to more Eco-friendly alternatives. A single flight with a plane represent quite a few eaten goats of C02 for people living in the poorest places in the world, but there is a lot of people in the world.

As Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh could have said, making the transition to a plant-based diet may be the most effective way an individual can stop climate change as long they already go by bike and don't travel beyond the range of said bike. They should also make sure that heating isn't created through coal, oil, or gas. Heat from burning garbage is an complicated issue, but I suspect it should also be avoided.
Its original application was to coinage with a fixed face value and a fluctuating inherent (market) value, of course.

The "spirit" of Gresham's law applies to any money that is (or is likely) to become more valuable in the future than it currently it. The same mental process applies in the holder of the money: "why would I spend this potentially more valuable money, when I have this other less valuable money to spend?"

edit: the article mentions the German Weimar inflation as a counterexample; in fact, it is a prime example of this concept: if a vendor accepts either the Weimar Papiermark or the US Dollar as payment, who in their right mind would pay that vendor with US Dollars? That vendor would probably never see a single US Dollar in payment! Bad money would have totally chased out good, from their perspective.

The real issue is not fixed exchange; in a free market, where vendors accept multiple forms of payment: unless forced, payors will always pay with "bad" money, and will keep the "good" money for themselves.

> What full stack means in the market is front end with a little back end

So much this. I believe in full stack development skills, that someone can have them, but I don’t believe in the job role of full stack developer.

At small medium scale, there’s just so much more front end work on a lot of apps. Let’s say 70%. My experience with full stack as a job role is that it turns into “what backend change can I quickly make in order to get back to the front end work which is most of the work.” Which then means no ones manning the ship / design / scope creep / perf risks etc of the backend. I think separate roles lead to more even evaluation of best feature implementations.
Indeed. Besides, and anecdotally, I think it’s moreso give-a-f%%k that decreases rather than intelligence....

Anything that purports to measure “intelligence” will be confounded by give-a-f%%k. You can’t separate the two.
Yes, it's very strange to me too as another European (although I did want to pay the tips and not screw the workers, of course).

Not that I like tipping systems at all, I find them an unnecessary hassle for the customer and detrimental to workers' rights, but if you have to have it I found the system in Canada (at least in Vancouver) much saner: you could key the tip amount into the POS machine when you pay, or directly select a tip percentage and the machine would add the tip for you. Compared to that, having to actually calculate the amount by hand and write it with a pen in the restaurants in New Orleans, blindly trusting that they would eventually charge that amount, looked like... last century.
I’m surprised the article doesn’t have a tag for point of view, although it’s hard to disagree with the claims. Still, it’s one of the most hostile articles I think I’ve read on Wikipedia.

Where is the line drawn between a declension and a phrase? Even though they're a single word, a lot of those Finnish variants appear to serve the purpose that a multi-word phrase would in most languages.
agreed. I'd even be inclined to take it further and suggest that once leaving high school, pressures and stresses related to self sustainability (being employable, financial concerns, housing, etc etc) would become more real than any previous family memory.

Also, wouldnt an understanding that materializes as one gets older of the back story into each memory story (with the frame that memory stories here as having a positive impact) have the potential to change the frame of the memory, which decreases the likelihood of it being remembered? As in, certain memories are pretty great until ypu understand how it came to be that way, in which case either the back story becomes more signigicant or it becomes more mediocore than remembered. And mediocrity is easily forgotten...

I'd also suppose that as people move on with their lives, people relate to each other via shared stories... family stories have little meaning to those not involved, and so have little impact in "fitting in" in the rest of society. As that dawns on individuals leaving home, so are such stories repressed until they more actively need to be remembered.

Scenario I refer to is a bit complex where board members from the first couple of rounds have majority votes about the company and can hire/fire the CEO and influence make up of the key executives.

Later rounds at higher valuations let these members recoup most of the value of their investment, so their downside is now covered and they have all the votes. Nice spot to be in.

To me, this board no longer represents the parties with the most to lose, and what was previously an investment partnership is now just a one-sided gamble. Where when it is founders making decisions, there is skin in the game.

The effect I'm trying to articulate is the board not holding executives accountable for anything other than positioning the company for a sale, and that the incentives can be apparent from the board makeup. Conversely, if massive later stage investors were really interested in the long term prospects of the company, they'd have got board seats.

Point being, as an employee, the day to day at a company that is being positioned to sell to a greater fool is very different from one positioning itself for explosive growth. The make up of the board, assuming it is fit for purpose, may be a tell for which strategy the company is pursuing, and hence, culture.
