What prices are down? Big Macs? Flat screen TVs? Crap from Walmart?

How about the actual things you need: housing, groceries, college, gas, electricity, a vacation?

Due to the pressure on government to keep inflation low to avoid devaluing their dollar inflation is a gamed number and the goal posts have been moved to keep it low so things look good. Meanwhile the price on everything that I buy or want to buy is through the roof and I can’t find a job that will pay me more than my current one - guess I should have gone with software instead of hardware

Surely such a system would add more causes of failure than it could alleviate. I mean, you literally want to decrease the bond between engine and wing.
Once had a flight delayed for maybe an hour because an overhead bin wouldn’t close. Mechanic had to tape it shut with special FAA duct tape, then sign the tape, then do an impressive amount of paperwork right there and then.
That's hardly the protocol's fault though.

When I discovered Meshtastic, I already had some of the Heltec modules around, which are reputed to have the worst RF performance. I tried anyway, and indeed, I had to equip some truly silly antennas to get even a mile of range. (18dBi yagi in my living room, pointed at a parking structure downtown, was able to talk to another node on top of the structure with a 6dBi omni. Just barely.)

I've been pursuing other projects since then, but a quick skim of the meshtastic forum suggests that there are some much better-performing RF modules now. I'll play with those soon enough...

And anyway, there are encodings other than the patent-encumbered LoRa worth considering, too. (The LoRa folks just did a stellar job capturing mindshare lately.) Really, a feature-set identical to the original IM-ME, but with an option to use ham radios to extend the range, is what I want.
I don't think AI is unintelligent, but human brains aren't just programs. We don't even have a definitive answer to how neuron signals are 'stored' in the brain. There is no equivalent to a memory address in there. It's an open problem. How could one say human brains are basically just programs if we don't even operate on the same hardware as programs, and the hardware we do operate on is too complex to be understood by us?
True, it is a challenge do do a decentralized on/off ramp.
But it is also questionable if that’s worth $100B valuation, too, without everything else they do.
The memes you see passed around on Facebook seem to show that nobody is willing/able to stop and think something through. They just get outraged at a perceived slight and then pass/amplify the stupid thought. People are being lead about by the nose through their emotions.
This is a fair point, I didn’t even think to consider the different tax implications.

Thanks for pointing this out!
That's the excuse I keep heading. Then, I find out that the "low consequence" software I've worked on is being relied upon in very consequential contexts.

Can I tell your customers that the software you're selling them is only built for "low consequence" applications?
This is a bullshit argument. If a company falls apart, its equity value will crumble, short sellers or no short sellers.

Short sellers simply drive the price action faster. That's probably not a good thing for the equity holders, nor does it serve a function that wouldn't get handled without short selling enabled.

If something is worthless, people will figure it out organically and the price will follow. You don't need selling pressure by non-holders to get there. In fact, you don't need selling at all. Companies that fall apart don't go to zero by selling pressure, but by lack of buyers at the erstwhile price.
That could work. You could also just get something like Bitdefender with VPN and select Ireland as your proxy location (I mean some places can detect proxies as different than a normal system, but... it rarely matters. Maybe for accessing Craigslist and 4chan)

Good luck. From what I'm seeing Belarus is a much more fun place than most to be right now :) [0]

I'm a Texas residential customer. I've tried Griddy, the only service that exposes the customer directly to the wholesale electricity rates. Over two days, my electric bill mounted to somewhere around $1600. I'm not complaining, because in ~18 months prior to that, those low (and sometimes negative) $/kWh actually saved me around $2,000.

Not for everyone. But one effect of these real-time communicated rates, is my house skipped running equipment that would have consumed 50kWh+ during those $9.00/kWh periods. Accordingly, by adjusting my demand, in response to limited supplies, I made it possible for other Texans to not get crushed by a rolling blackout.

In addition, if thousands of people adjust their demand in this manner -- it can make it possible to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with the mere construction of a peaker plant, that, itself, might get used only 10-15% of the time.
Wait... the UV5R is a HAM radio? I'm totally naïve to the HAM and with the zombie apocalypse continuing, got the time to spend on those bucket list items. These things are only $35 bucks! That is screw around money.

At some point, I'll need to deal with getting a radio license for doing some GA flights into Canada. Any chance this would pick up the 100 MHz bands (possibly using the term wrong) to pick up aviation ATIS?

Hard problems aren't comparable in that way. The vaccine timeline was "shortened" because the timeline doesn't include decades of foundational work in molecular biology that made it possible for the vaccine formula to be determined within days of the virus' genome publication.

Never seen it play out that way. There's always something in practice. See you just talked about randomizing the code. But a windows PE isn't just code. It also has an icon. And yes i've seen AVs detect specific icons.

In theory it's easy to not have anything static, in practice, that's the cat and mouse game you're playing.

Oh that sounds pretty great. How is pdf legibility vs a formatted article? I have a kobo and remember finding some pdf articles small.

Also how do you upload from the phone, can you print to a dropbox folder or the Remarkable phone app or some source so it is automatic?
Zero/negative interest rates drive capital misallocation. You are spewing MMT dogma. This is why we have zombie companies like IBM chortling around.

There is asset price inflation for the things we want to buy. Stonks. Real estate in desirable places.

If you examine the 500 most commonly bought household goods, inflation is tracking ~10%+ in major metro areas in the US. This is before covid.

I think it's more hostile than you imagine. I'm quite young and can't even breaj into the industry with a job. I also am not bad. I do well in my interviews (I can feel it and they tell me too), I work on a variety of things and have side projects, I've done well at an internship, etc. It's a mess right now. I'm far from the only one my age struggling this way.

Had I not tried the self employment route I'd probably have starved to death or had to work at a gas station and then starved. I wasn't really ready for it either but that was the option. I live and breath programming and absolutely love it. I have since I was in my early teens. At this point though it's looking more and more like I'll have to do something else to get by. I actually always did want to be able to work on my own projects, but if I have to work in other fields then that will likely be the end of it. I won't be able to make enough to do anything but work.

I think it's just a hostile field in general at this point.
TIPs adjusted by cpi determined by gov. Better off holding real assets. For retail, a large mortgage is a fantastic bet on inflation. For the more risk-loving, long gamma on any vehicles tracking real assets has really good risk/reward in a high inflation market.

Personally, I dislike all this interest in space.

What has it done for the actual planet we live on? Day by Day we destroy this planet wasting resources that are finite and yet we dream to live on another planet. Why? Just so we can do the same?

How much toxic waste is in the world today? How much obsolete technological waste is there in this planet and why are we not investing the same amount of money on cleaning this planet? I'm sure I'm going to be down-voted for being pessimistic but its the truth.

Outer space is for the rich who've outgrown expensive yachts and will be that way if not forever. If we can't handle society on this planet how are we suppose to handle it on a new planet? You really think once technology is supportable they're going to let us use it?
Wow those look great! Thanks. No email newsletter though right?

Maybe I can make an rss feed out of them and use goosepaper or print them to pdf.
> you're arguing for "market pricing" but arguing against government interference in pricing

Market pricing is prices not set by the government. By definition.

> If the government doesn't intervene, most people will buy fixed-price electricity contracts instead of market-priced contracts.

That's speculation. Even if true, it would be their choice.

> Are you sure?

They were being portrayed as victims in the news because of their high bills. Having a bill means they had electricity.
I both looked for and searched for a way to do so without a Microsoft account about a month ago - could not upgrade to Windows 10 Home without it and could not remove 10S without upgrading it first. I had downloaded a copy of Windows directly from Microsoft but could not use it because the Windows 10S was preinstalled by the OEM and did not come with a windows key code.
If the anti-vax sentiment is driven by disinformation from foreign principals, it is the job of our government to curtail it.

If the anti-vax sentiment is based on falsehood and damaging to our public health, it is the job of our government to vocally and persistently set the record straight.
What is the current status with regarding to using hemp or mushrooms?
Imp thing is to realize nothing is free. If someone is offering free plan, its mostly because they are monetizing on features or other products. So compete with the paid features of product instead of worrying about free plan.

Gmail has a free plan but there are superhuman and hey. Both competing in paid email space.

Don't worry too much about free plan, add features that users will pay for.
> ACA ... largely doesn't change anything about how the healthcare

The ACA utterly and profoundly changed healthcare for some 20 million people.

Maybe you're not one of those people. But it's really hard to see how it can be called "largely doesn't change anything".
I’m a citizen of three countries: Russia, Israel, and the United States. I can’t say I’ve ever found myself grateful for three whole passports.
It looks it’s the “cowling” that was lost, not the protective shroud / containment around the fan (and the rest of the engine) that keeps the fan/compressor/turbine blades from becoming high speed radial projectiles when they break off at full speed.
Seems classist IMO. People on an airplane commingle breath due to the airflow caused by aircraft ventilation systems, so if masks are required anywhere in the cabin, they should be required everywhere in the cabin.
I've done skiing. Go up, shoosh down. Go up, shoosh down. Go up, shoosh down. It doesn't take too long before I'm off to the lodge to go drinking. And I love alpine views as much as anyone.

(When I was a kid, I'd ski until utter exhaustion and could barely walk. But things don't work like that for the adult me.)
It's a shame that ROS is getting this sort of reputation. It has it's merits, and is used by most robotics applications I have seen.

It is akin to the python ecosystem, where there is A LOT of good software and packages out there, but there is also A LOT of garbage out there.

The community is nice and supportive, and the framework has really matured recently, with ROS1 being "complete" and ROS2 getting off the ground with a lot of mature features like DDS

My understanding of citizenship is that it's a relatively modern invention that a person could have more than one citizenship. The oaths you mention are holdovers from the time when citizenship meant fealty to a specific ruler in exchange for lifelong protection and sanctuary. To have more than one citizenship would be impossible, since you can only be "supremely loyal" to a single sovereign.

These days, since citizenship is more an operation of law from a nation state and less a particular privilege granted by a ruling individual, such loyalty is less required. The vast majority of countries consider someone who has multiple citizenships, including the one of the country in which they are in, to be a citizen of solely that country (e.g. if you are a dual citizen of the United States and Australia and you are standing in the United States, the U.S. only recognizes your U.S. citizenship).

Some countries, like Germany, still actively try to discourage the practice, though even Germany is becoming less strident. If you are a German citizen and you naturalize in any other (non-EU or EEA country or Switzerland), you automatically lose your German citizenship by operation of law unless you asked for permission to retain it. But getting permission has become progressively easier, and Germany does not make a person who is born with German citizenship and another citizenship choose by a certain age.

It is something of an interesting topic, for sure, though it's very easy to fall down the dark well of conspiracy theorists (some Germans believe you are not a Proper German Citizen unless you have the goldenrod-colored A4 form declaring you to be so) and nation state abolitionists (not saying I disagree with the latter, but it is a very short trip from there to "I am a human and also a corporate person separate from my corporeal being").
I think it would depend on where you wanted to live, and what countries citizenship you had access to. I would love to have permanent residency in one of the Schengen Area countries. But that's probably not feasible unless I bump up my income a bunch.
I think it is so that you take care with what you post - it will be readable forever and someone who goes looking for you online may be able to link your profile to your posts by the details you divulge
> In fact, you don't need selling at all. Companies that fall apart don't go to zero by selling pressure, but by lack of buyers at the erstwhile price.

Without sellers, there's no one for buyers to buy from and reach a price. Markets require both buyers and sellers.

People borrowing the good being traded to sell or borrowing money to buy may be optional, but both sellers and buyers are required for trading and, therefore, price setting.
It's kinda like having a meditation teacher, but in an app. Totally not necessary, but I like it :D
Why not just Ada/SPARK? Rust and its syntax I believe is troublesome (heavy use of symbols being the major reason, e.g. in Rust it is completely normal to have 6 symbols next to each other). I often look at some code written in Rust and I cannot tell what it is supposed to do, it is way too hidden from me. It is almost akin to reading Perl. Reading someone else's code written in Ada/SPARK is not a problem, even without knowing much about the language.

Mind you, Ada/SPARK has been out there for quite some time now, and it has been a "big step forward" of what people were unaware, unfortunately. Only if Ada/SPARK got the hype of Rust... there would not be much of a need for Rust. Ada/SPARK would have an ideal ecosystem, perhaps even another compiler, and so on.
Wasn't the Texas plan to have rolling blackouts?
Unlikely. It's not going to be that much of qualitative difference, some 50+ years after Apollo, so the question would be "who's Moon base is more impressive". Just some new boots on the Moon wouldn't be enough.

Of course if China will manage to put a kind of a permanent base on the Moon, even some years after USA, that will be quite noteworthy.

Aircraft undergo regular preventative maintenance checks, with letter codes A - D. The D check being the most comprehensive, it occurs every 6-10 years and basically the entire aircraft is taken apart and inspected, looking for among other things anything like stress fractures, corrosion, unusual wear, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_maintenance_checks#D_...

A commercial aircraft does not just accumulate wear and tear for 25 years until something breaks. They can basically fly indefinitely, but in reality after two or three D checks they are usually retired because the cost of the D check is more than the value of the aircraft.
You're assuming news will automatically spread about a fraud, but the invisible hand isn't magic. Someone has to do the work. Not every company has a lot of people watching it. Short-selling is an incentive for publishing bad news about a company. The article gives a specific example.

The beneficiaries are near-term buyers who would otherwise have bought at a higher price, because they didn't know (yet) that something was wrong.

Maybe eventually, everyone will figure it out, but too late for the people who already bought.

That must be a giant rock that you must carve an internal loop out of.

And then, how much energy would it even take to spin such a huge rock? I think you’d need a new exotic propulsion system just to rotate it. Maybe nuclear or a sustained ion propulsion.
I know who they are quoting. I also re-listened to what he said because at the time I'd made the same assumption.

Apple execs are infamously careful about how they word things. Federighi could have said they won't allow other operating systems, but he didn't because that's not what they did or were planning.

If they didn't intend for this to be possible, they wouldn't have shipped it this way and documented how to do it.
Congrats and be safe!

I wouldn't agree that 8.4% of the prison population is "tiny".

"Statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice show that, as of 2013, there were 133,000 state and federal prisoners housed in privately owned prisons in the U.S., constituting 8.4% of the overall U.S. prison population. Broken down to prison type, 19.1% of the federal prison population in the United States is housed in private prisons and 6.8% of the U.S. state prison population is housed in private prisons. While 2013 represented a slight decline in private prison population over 2012, the overall trend over the preceding decade had been a slow increase." [0]

For plastic and glass, to make you feel better. Even if you're concerned about land use, they end up throwing away a lot of what goes into the recycling anyway. With glass especially, it is actually worse for the enviroment to reuse the glass because of the energy and water use associated with cleaning it. (There's also an argument to be made that we should continue to recycle plastic so the public is in the habit of sorting their trash if we ever come up with a way to do it efficiently)

For aluminum, recycling is incredibly important. It reduces the need for environmentally-destructive aluminum mining and energy intensive smelting.

For paper, recycling high quality paper like clean office paper and some cardboard reduces the demand for virgin wood pulp. Lower quality paper gets thrown away.

Also, shout-out to composting - food and yard scraps breaking down in a well aerated environment produces fewer greenhouse gasses than landfills.
Well you can't add do either of those things in D because, pure and simple, we'd never approve the change.
