It is interesting from a Canadian perspective. My home province is often criticized for it's high taxes, yet it turns out that there is no variation for lower incomes and the additional tax burden is around 5.5% for higher incomes.

The reality is the disparity in income has a much larger impact on quality of life than a few thousand dollars paid in taxes.

(I assumed the low income person was working full time at minimum wage, and used the default $100,000 as a higher income. Quebec was ignored since people are less likely to move there unless they speak French or are employed in certain industries.)

A better description would be “I know what people that happened to share your current IP address downloaded on BitTorrent”. Given that providers either implement dynamic addressing (unless the user pays for a static address) or NAT, it’s not accurate at all.
I'm not a time wizard, er, physicist, but I am a musician/programmer/electronics hobbyist and this is fun to think about.

It might be possible with a large number "metronomes" with different frequencies. You observe a lower-frequency interference pattern, and phase drift in that pattern indicates skew of one of the high frequency clocks.

If the metronomes (which are probably GHz or THz clock signals) are perfect, and this universal clock is real, I'd expect to see a pattern in the interference skew -- maybe it accumulates lag at a tic per year; maybe it systematically lags for a while and catches back up somehow, etc.

If a dozen labs independently design and build their own apparatuses and agree on the set of frequencies, they should all see the same pattern.

> It probably is true that on average, only 10% of neurons are firing at a given instant in time.

This makes sense. A lot of utilization in nature follows a Pareto distribution, where frequency of use leads to an increase in frequency of use. It's likely that only 10% of roads are in use at any given time, but that doesn't mean that you can eliminate 90% of roads and still have the same capabilities.

It's not feasible to utilize 100% of ones brain because there's a fundamental limit to the number of simultaneous activities we can undertake. You might be able to juggle, play an RTS game, figure out the flavor components of a dish, and recite the US Constitution backwards, from memory. What you can't do is all these things simultaneously.
`git branch {foo}`

For once, it's a git command that seems to be clear about what it does, but it just doesn't check out.
True, yet recently I recall prices being raised and all firms moving in lock step. A classic signs of oligopolistic behavior.

Further all 3 major firms are in massive debt, and after the SC interpretation of how they have to pay their dues, they are pretty much dead firms unless they get money.

You can already see them creating new packages to target users who have more disposable income.

I'd say make hay while the sun shines. The structure of a market dictates the strategies and tactics which work. With 3 players collusion is the norm, not competition.
I'd say that either a) keeping it out of direct sunlight (e.g. in a warehouse or a shop) or b) making the bottles more opaque, would be a more ecologically friendly option? Apart from display bottles, it doesn't seem like that likely that during the sales process, it would need to be outside for extended periods of time.

The heavy embossed metal or cardboard used doesn't seem to me, to come from that requirement, more a marketing thing to signal a "premium" product (the more expensive the whisky, often the more elaborate the packaging)
Yeah, it is an exponentially more difficult problem when done live - aka Bill O'Reilly Rule.

Aha, I didn't know about the CP2102. Looks like I'll have to give one a whirl, and there's even a breakout board at Adafruit. I've used relatively few VCP adapters since I've been using microcontrollers with built-in VCP.

I was nervous about the CH340 because the Windows drivers seemed to come from some weird place in China, but maybe US sourced drivers aren't any more of a comfort in these times.
The phrase "the stock market" appears 7 times in this article, but is never discussed let alone defined.

It doesn't make sense to analyse "the market" as a monolith--not that there was much of that in the article anyhow. Yes, there are winners, which has led to a net-postive macro trend but there are losers which have crashed as well.

The interesting question is what causes some companies to generate revenues while others fail.

It's primarily the ultraviolet in sunlight that is damaging. Stores use flourescent lighting in this part of the world, which still emits a fair amount of UV, damaging the product sitting on a shelf. This is why beer in green bottles often picks up a "skunky" flavor; green glass doesn't block UV as well as brown and the UV reacts with the hop flavinoid molecules, changing the flavor.

Food and beverage is the only industry I've ever known. I prefer the real world though, not the masturbatory side of things.
But is not biodegradable on shorter time scales.

e.g. a glass bottle in a woodland setting could stay in that form for thousands of years. A paper bottle would last a few weeks at most.
My theory is that this is a kind of latent inflation - it is still visible only in the financial assets sector - but eventually it will show up in consumer products too.
Voices against this idea are pretty loud. But nobody is giving a real argument. I don't see anything other than "oh it doesn't solve world Racism or Sexism problems" or, "I never thought about slavery when I use my git branch".

I think they just miss the point. I don't see any reason to not fix this. There are studies that claim language does transmit values and cultural norms. So it isn't only about someone being hurt or reminded of something when (s)he sees a word.

These issue is so big that no single action or change is going to fix it. It requires commitment and lots of small and big changes. And yes a lot of companies aren't going to do anything more than tiny changes while portending that they support the cause. It doesn't mean that others should stop.
That's not what I'm saying at all. When you write about a fact, you have copyright to the way that you assembled words to communicate that fact. When Google is taking snippets from other website and presenting it as their own content in a way that discourages visiting the sites where Google got that content, while displaying their own ads and services, they are effectively plagiarizing and committing acts that are anticompetitive and possibly not fair use. If a site wants to prevent Google from using their content for free to keep people off of their site, they should have the right to do so.

I'm about as far from a copyright shill as you can get without being an information anarchist. I think the copyright system in the United States needs to be completely overhauled and should stop giving corporations indefinite monopolies over ideas. But this is a case where the existence of copyright could be a good thing for the little guy to resist abuse from Big Data.

> Also, NGINX is pronounced "engine X".

It absolutely is, but my first interpretation of that word was more like "n-jinks".

I mean, I understand that it's meant as "n-gin-x", but glommed together that still seems like an unnatural way to pronounce that word to me.

For what it's worth I am a native English speaker (and I assume nginx creator Igor Sysoev isn't), but maybe that's just me.
That is true, then hotel mini bars, soon stacks up in volume in a way that is easily overlooked, more so when you just see the glass bottle variations.
It's moral hazard in a nutshell, the backstop provided to the markets is so large that the risk/reward is completely out of whack. When the fed is buying junk bonds the signal to investors is loud and clear.

RabbitMQ simply does not like holding on to data. Performance craters with long queues. RabbitMQ is accurately a “message broker” and quite an excellent one at that. Tooling is fantastic, and the software (built on Erlang/OTP) is very reliable.

But it is not a “distributed log”. Pulsar (as Kafka) is built on a distributed ledger/log. People confuse ‘semantics’ of messaging with “message broker” so equate various products supporting ‘messaging semantics’.

To your point, and to doubters, simply try building an event sourcing system (complete with replays to recover) on RabbitMQ and see how that works out!
Off topic but this raises a question about iMesssage parsing of URLs. I copied just the base URL (without my IP, so he would get his) and sent this to a friend. The preview in iMessage lists my IP, because iMessage actually visited the link. Does the message he receives show his IP or mine?

e: Just tested this, it shows my IP on the receiving end. It appears iMessage creates the preview text on the sender’s side so this will leak your IP. I tried it in Slack too and it leaked whatever IP Slack used to fetch the URL which interestingly is not my IP.

I'm sure they do, and the meaning is obvious, it's just that when you get into the issue of accounting for it, it ought to be clarified that it's not accounting goodwill.
My guess is when the financial economy goes bust and those dollars start chasing real economy assets all the inflation we were assured wouldn't happen due to all the money printing will happen all at once.

People act like the big short guys were geniuses to see this trend come out of nowhere. I was a teenager asking questions like "How can housing prices rise nationally at a multiple of wage increases for any sustained period of time?" and was short down by the "smart money" on forums not unlike this one.
I went through a resume building seminar once, and the instructor mentioned years of experience are often inflated to deter people from applying. She worked in HR for over 20 years and she said, if a job is looking for 1-2 years then it really means entry level. 5 is more like 2-3 years. I'm not surprised anymore nor do I let the years of experience stopping me from applying. Also, just a tip to those looking for jobs. Most places will bring you to the front of the list if you know someone at the company.
I thought that their own research had showed that people weren't buying support that was already available

> It is routinely the case that I meet organizations that have deployed free LibreOffice without long term support

and that people didn't even buy support from Microsoft

> Microsoft gives poor to non-existent support to the majority of users so ~no-one expects to buy it

So why would they now suddenly pay for a product where (I think, not an expert) the only proposed differentiation is support and calling it 'Enterprise'?

> What I notice about the "cancel-culture" debate is that it predominantly seems to define culture as being the sphere of the people who can be cancelled to begin with.

Yeah, and to a certain extent those people have also been "canceling" people for their views a long time, but the people they canceled didn't have a platform to complain and be heard.

> I think the root of the problem isn't cancel culture but the limitation of the political to a bunch of celebrities....

> If however political discourse is the job of the professional commentariat and the rest of society is some sort of passive mob waiting to be activated, sure then you get cancel culture.

I think you're probably right about the root cause, but that's going to be a really tough problem to solve. A corollary of your observation is the ability of "rest of society" to participate in productively in "political discourse" seems to have atrophied. It's going to be a difficult problem to fix, and a lot of things we take for granted (like national media that gets all the attention) will probably have to change to fix it.

Nowadays internet users on cable often keep the same IP address for weeks if not months.
Who knows, your ISP could change its configuration tomorrow and always re-assign the same IP address to you as long as its available.

I think the point of this website is to show people that using torrents is far from anonymous and invisible.
Yeah back when there was that company that used to send threatening emails through ISP companies I used to get emails from my ISP claiming I downloaded various shows and movies I had never seen. It was a completely pointless farce and fraud.
Loaning money should not be done to make money, it's parasitic. It should purely be a charitable contribution without expecting a return. If the loanee decides, out of his or her own goodness to return more money than they took, then that's up to them.

Now the obvious and direct effect of this is that people will generally not loan their money. This is a good thing. The follow up is that they will invest their money in hopefully legitimate and moral ways.
Those are not the competitive days, those are pretty much classic examples of the chilling effect on our market after the SC forcing a re-auction.

An auction exposes market pricing information which was hidden before.

In case people aren't aware, the Indian mobile sector was one of the cheapest and most pioneering markets of its time.

People created the 0 cost phone call - farmers and mobile users could give a missed call to a number they heard on the radio, and then they would get a call back.

Stuff that was in sharp contrast to the mobile plans and service packs around the world.

While people argue about data, they forget how hard it is to set up the infrastructure and the massive boost forward simple phone calls were for people.

That was the era I am talking about, not post the SC verdict.

It just depends on the type of problem you'd like to solve.

I've got a whole bunch of ETL helper functions and patterns i've written for my business that could be packaged up as an extension if I were so inclined for example. Those are all SQL or PL/PGSQL functions, so no need for native code there though...

For PostGIS, a whole lot of that code is just SQL or PL/PGSQL functions...but there are quite a few C functions as well, to take care of the heavy lifting which is less efficient to implement in SQL or PL/PGSQL.
Yep, I think you are right. I'm subtracting taxes from "total income" right now, instead of "taxable income", so I'm not excluding the contributions! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll address that shortly.

I think “extension” covers any custom code (even functions that need to import a c library), not just major db features. I have had to do it recently [1] to customize partitioning function to be the way I like. It would be great to do it in a friendlier language

I find the physical act of writing helps me remember things. There's been research on this that suggests that the processesing you need to do to write something down secures it in your memory better.
If you're uncompromising on some issue, someone, somewhere will perceive you as a jerk.
Oddly not talked about much:

In a lot of cases, if an attacker gets even limited access to the application environment, dumping the ENV variables is trivial as they were never intended to be secure.

`process.env`, `printenv` (including php attacks), `ENV`, etc
This sounds like a problem a simple extension would trivially solve, I might write one up and publish it later today when I have some free time. I’ll edit this comment when I do.

Edit: Should've googled first, there seems to be plenty of extensions that solve exactly this issue.

Steve Martin once said about Gael Garcia Bernal, "I'd do anything to look like that guy, except eat right and exercise."

It's very seductive to justify people's anxiety and envy by synthesizing a narrow difference into an perceived injustice. If a person is truly repellent or creepy, it's because they present something that triggers a sense of danger or disgust in others, which is completely relative to the individuals. Liars are usually repellent, so are predators, manipulators, often the mentally ill, when you get a waft of that aspect of who they are. You have to ask who benefits from you not trusting your instincts when it comes to being around people you may feel repulsed by.
