"I'm a bit skeptical that many military supplies vary dramatically"

Well, how much do you think china is paying for one of their own developed (or copied) and manufactured assaults rifles - and how much is the US?

I didn't look up the numbers now, but I am pretty sure they do vary dramatically.

The change might get less, when we are talking about very advanced war tech, like fighter missiles and radar systems, but overall China with all of its big factories and strong central controlled government - might have an edge there.

Mikrotik hardware if you're looking for hardware you can upgrade.

I haven't found the need to upgrade my hardware in a couple of years so I don't know what the market currently looks like. I'd just look on the OpenWRT wiki or forum and see what is best supported and buy that.

Also, Atheros radios are generally supported really well on Linux, so I stick with hardware that has an Atheros chipset over something with a Broadcom radio.

> Economic theory would argue that: "little pay" is because they produce "little value".

Any economic theory that predicts this is probably not very useful, since this claim is easily falsified. Consider e.g., the situation of Amazon workers who are paid low wages and forced to maintain such a pace that they need to go to the bathroom in bottles and bags, but whose labor on the other hand caused Jeff Bezos' wealth to increase by over $100,000 per worker over the last year.
This is correct. People are making the mental leap because they know this technique exists and they want it to be something cool.

The reality is even in corporate environments print servers for sensitive areas will retain audit logs and/or copies of documents sent to the print spool. Even if that completely fails, you can do a forensic recovery on the hard drive inside the printer where all documents are buffered.

Taxpayers in 1970's may have thought of internet as "a waste of money" or just a novelty. Same with taxpayers in 2005 with DARPA challenge for self driving cars. Sometimes, you need government level entity to truly move the needle on technology and private sector is simply too short-term oriented[1] or too risk-averse[2] to take on meaningful challenges like moon landing or atom bomb.

[1] VC funds have a life-cycle of only 10 years. Internet evolution was a 2-3 decades process.

[2] Government can write off a loss of 5-10B. I can't think of any private sector entity with that kind of risk tolerance.
> the incredible degree of hatred the black actress got

I really don't recall Leslie Jones receiving as much backlash as certain outlets purported. Part of that is because that, for these outlets (common offenders including Slate and its ilk), any amount of backlash or derision, or frankly, anything less than glowing praise is "racism". And now that the word "racism" is starting to lose power, they've moved on to "white supremacy", but that's another topic...

I think you could be on to something, but the bulk of the backlash was because they butchered an absolute classic comedy that millions of people grew up watching (I myself have probably seen it over 50 times, my Mom said I watched it over and over as a kid).

> If you have a $1 bill from 1973 it still can be exchange for a 2021 $1 bill.

Nominally.

How do you grok the practice of coin-clipping? You hand in one gold coin which is then clipped and you are given a coin with a smaller percentage of gold in it. 1 solidus is still nominally worth 1 solidus. But it's really worth 0.x a solidus. Does this debasement matter? The coin has the same name but it's not the same coin.

> bitcoin has also gained and (occasionally lost) buying power.

Over the long term, Bitcoin can only gain and has only gained purchasing power, algorithmically.

Unlike with fiat, your proportional share, based on your stack of coins, of the total value in the economy has not changed. This assumes a Bitcoin Standard where bitcoin is the world currency. (Some of us already live on a Bitcoin Standard preemptively.)

With fiat, your share has been debased. 1 usd is not equal to 1 usd over time. With Bitcoin, your ruler is always accurate. 1 satoshi = 1 satoshi over time unto eternity. Fiat cannot make that claim.

That's what we mean when we say 1 btc = 1 btc.

> "1 oz of Gold has always been worth 1 oz of gold."

Now you see why gold was the world's hardest money. It's chemical stability guaranteed this statement. Hardly any other commodities behave this way. Unless you have examples?
Not the way the JEDI and C2S contracts work. I'd need to go read a bunch of legal documents I don't feel like reading to see what those numbers really represent, but I imagine it's just reimbursement for standing up and operating the data centers while certifying them for classified data storage and connection to classified networks.

They still get to actually sell services after that, though. If you just divide Amazon's original $600 million contract for 10 years for C2S, that's $5 million a month. I can tell you when I was working for a single large program that hadn't even gone into ops yet last year, we were paying over $5 million a month per environment, and we had three environments. That's just a single tenant.

In contrast, this contract for AR HUDs is much more likely just a straightforward charge once, build once order. There's no additional money to be made on the backend selling in app purchases to platoons or add-on services. For JEDI, after building the cloud, Microsoft still gets to actually sell its IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services on top of that.
TIPs I believe use the CPI, and so do other instruments like this. The CPI undercounts inflation by almost 1 to 1.5%. we've discussed this one many times: just look at bic mac index, housing prices, car prices. there are many buckets in the CPI and at least several of them don't fully count inflation, sometimes quite brazenly too: comparing beef prices to chicken prices instead of beef to beef, simply because beef has gone up faster than chicken.

the appeal of bitcoin is there's a fixed supply as opposed to fiat which can increase exponentially.

I never said reject equities. I want to invest in as many asset classes as possible, including equities, real estate and gold.

The macro picture for equities is looking a little less rosy than it did 30 or 50 years ago. Equities are supposed to follow earnings growths, which is basically just population growth + productivity per capita increases plus dividends. if you break the 3 of those down and compare them to the last 50 years, you'll quickly see, future fundamentals are less rosy:
- labor population growth has slowed to 0.5%, from 1.5%
- per capita productivity growth is at all time lows
- and dividends for s&p500 are now at 1.5%, down from 4.5%.

Whereas the fundamentals for past growth were (4.5+1.5+2=8% real), the future fundamentals now show: (1.5+0.5+1.5=3.5%).

I would allow them to move to avoid paying less, but put a 15 year time limit on moving back.

If you move back before, you pay the original tax?

The same for corporations who move to the lowest taxed country.

Apple wants to pay Irish tax rates, then pack up CEO, CFO, and all employees in management positions and move to Ireland and Zoom. Your troops can stay here.

(Your first few big pay days should be exempt from all taxes though, especially if you can prove your were poor, or middle class in the previous 10 years? I’ve never felt it was fair for a guy whom got lucky in business, or life, having to pay a big tax; especially if they were scraping by in previous years. Am I saying the poor unemployed guy who one the lottery shouldn’t have to pay any tax on that first lottery win in life, or business—-yes. Our social safety net is so terrible here, it can’t be an excuse to tax new found wealth. America does not help out it’s poor well enough to tax those first few big pay days.)

> The DEDA toolkit allows anyone to anonymize documents by removing the tracking dots at the software level

Sounds like the tracking tech is implemented in the proprietary drivers. If only the free software movement had filled its original purpose (freeing printer drivers¹) for more models…

Edit: looks like it may be in the firmware on the printer itself, not drivers on computers, as h-node warns of tracking even on printers with full compatibility with blobless, FSF-endorsed distros eg. Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre: https://h-node.org/printers/view/en/2215/HP-DeskJet-2700-ser...
This is something I'm worried about a well.

Let's say someone has written a semi-successful password keeper app and makes $200,000 per year with it. One day he realizes that there are secrets stored by the users of his app that are worth millions or perhaps even tens of millions or more. Just how much trust can you put into an app? Even if it is open source - there may be a rogue update. Either because the app developer was hacked or because he claims to have been hacked. It's scary.

It's interesting to compare this to the Trump Whitehouse Archive: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCITMedGC5PA-zMrLTH5-kg

Almost the exact inverse like/dislike ratio.

Biden received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history, AND they should skew much younger than Trump voters. So why is it that the Biden White House channel struggles so much with likes vs dislikes?

I feel like I often have time saved on almost exactly the situation you described. Changing the alternator on our Honda CR-V, there's a method to remove the fan and fan support and pull the alternator out the front of the car and top instead of doing a lot more disassembly on the front of the engine (side of the car) and draining the coolant. I wouldn't have thought to do it that way if I hadn't been in the habit of watching 2 or 3 videos of new-to-me car repairs.

I find myself watching zero mass-market television and a lot more YouTube (tech, electronics, machining, mostly) and think it a lot better value for entertainment time spent than TV ever was. (Sure, it's not as dense as reading a technical book, but after a day of work, I'm more up for the casual experience.)
I think that "because the corporations that make printers have a secret agreement with intelligence agencies to track printed papers, going back decades and based ultimately on coercive threats outside the rule of law" is a more cynical truth than "because the companies that make printers want to sell you more ink."

I did something similar with Kijiji in Montreal to find a decently priced apartment. It ended up working quite nicely and I found a 3 1/2 lease transfer well located in an older building for 700$. I've since employed it for other items that I kind of want, but not enough to trawl through Kijiji regularly for.

For reference it was easy to set up because Kijiji thankfully still has RSS and getting timely notifications through Huginn https://github.com/huginn/huginn and Pushover was simple.

I think its sad that goals are used as means.

Goals for me is a set state in this world you want to achieve. The goals can be long term as short term. They can be implausible(things you can't control) or possible(chance to happen). They don't describe the path to reach this state. And if a goal is to follow a certain path, then still the amount of different possibilities to follow the path is tremendous. The goals can be reached in many different ways. The goals can be open or restrictive. But if a goal would be the only way it would be a very long recorded goal encompassing all possibilities(which I doubt anyone could create).

Systems on the other hand is for me a sort of method. It describes how you should do something or how to reach something, as a goal, or at least go in the right direction(removing or reducing non-goal possibilities).

I agree that to think about the restrictions and the possibilities to reach a goal and implement a system to deal with these parameters is better than focusing on the goal.
But I think the article makes it more confusing with terms when it takes examples of systems that could as much be set as goals or the other way around.

It would be like watching the cloud of electrons moving over transistors across an entire chip, without the benefit of knowing quantum mechanics.

No comparison. Take Mitsubishi. I'm not sure what most people think of when they think of Mitsubishi (probably econobox cars?). However, if you look at the entire scope of the Mitsubishi Group, you get a different idea...

Mitsubishi UFJ is Japan's largest bank and the world's second largest bank holding company with ~$2tn of deposits.

Mitsubishi Corp is Japan's largest general trading company, and includes active business lines covering business services, consultancy, infrastructure (airports, railways), asset management and finance, energy trading, primary extraction of metals and minerals, heavy machinery, defense contracts, ships, chemical manufacturing and trading, as well as retail.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries separately manufacturers airplanes, air-to-air missiles, helicopters, aerospace turbine engines, main battle tanks, nuclear power plants, gas turbines generators, LNG carrying ships, cruise liners, space craft, wind turbines and desalination equipment.

MHI's subsidiaries also include Mitsubishi Chemical (which is Japan's largest chemicals company), Nikon Corporation (cameras, optics etc), and Mitsubishi Motors.

This is nothing like Philips/Airbus etc.

My hope is in the wake of resistant bacteria and diseases caused by a tsunami of endocrine disrupting chemical products, maybe society will come to the conclusion we ought to pragmatically consider data and peer reviewed science when we weigh the pros and cons of public policy. Nobody seems to be asking whether unprecedented amounts of waste, the sky-rocketing rates of suicide and deaths from child abuse, or state sanctioned extermination of species were worth it. Nobody seems to be asking how effective any of these measures were, or whether the goal was ever realistic. Let alone whether all this was worth preventing the inevitable spread of a disease that when all is said and done will kill around a couple million people, average age older than the average lifespan. Begs the question when we live in a world where 8 million people die of diseases associated with fossil fuel pollution, average age around 5 years old. Not going to hold my breath. If growing up post 9-11 taught me anything it's that humans just want to live their lives in fear of the unlikely and use it to be a jerk those they view as outsiders to the tribe.
