It is an overly broad and reductive concept but there is an implicit carve out - if it is literally required for the function. Putting aside the protocol captain obvious level of "a computer needs to know when your IP address asked for it to send the webpage to you" level, an online store with no tracking of transactions would be a useless mock up. No payments would be placed nor orders delivered.
The big bottleneck is mill capacity (as evidenced by the fact that timber prices have not increased much). Unexpected high demand is driving most of the rest of it. Both of those affect Canada as well. Tariffs are only a small part of the overall cost increase.
Production slowed down - less wood was cut. Then demand didn't drop as much as expected and so the supply is down a bit.

You have to start somewhere but it will involve pain. No matter what you do.

You also have to be willing to let go of everything you think you "can't live without". Likely that means being willing to dump/avoid women and/or no longer being an over-extended financially by expenses like having mortgage and run-up credit cards.

You will fail - that's 100% NECESSARY to learn enough to succeed to not fail. So you have to deal with losing these things. Women don't care about your struggles; they only care about standing at the finish lines and picking the winners.

I was forced into it by Silicon Valley age-discrimination - I had to find a way to pay my bills, but every company was telling me I wasn't a good "cultural fit". I was also seeing this when I was passed over for promotion by yes-men who have demonstrably worse track records and lower IQ.

My "lack of cultural fit" was both reaching an age where I no longer gave a shit about "playing the game" and realizing I was smarter than my bosses.

I ended up losing my marriage as a result of jumping off - she didn't want someone struggling to make something better - she only wanted a winner. I had been one but it collapsed on me and she has zero fucks for that.

Eventually I lost another marriage but after that, I had only my own spending to worry about and my own lifestyle needs to meet which were far cheaper than what most women will put up with. You can only succeed as being self-employed or sole proprietor or an entrepreneur if you are willing to lose everything and still claw back to try again.

I sold one of my companies a few years back and that pretty much set me up for several more companies I had in mind. They involve things I love and that are in demand so they will make money. That's how you win. It's ONLY about you, and never we.
> We should demand that any device and any component in any device be second source-able

Devices aren't built around discrete components anymore. That ship has sailed, we waved goodbye, partied on the dock, and took an Uber home. Now we're nursing the hangover. But hey, our phones are now marginally thinner than last year's phones, so that might be worth something.

I don't see how we get back, considering the market just isn't there: it'd rather treat devices as things that we lease for a low cost from a vertically-integrated company.

I'd wager there are two populations. There are people who prefer WFH but didn't move. And there are people who moved. I can't return to the office. It is too late. I moved to be closer to my family. The job doesn't outweigh that. If I can't work remotely, I'm leaving in September. My boss and my director both know this.
There is an EU law that mandates selling supplies (e.g. vaccum cleaner bags) a certain number of years after the device is released. I would argue that "security updates" should be treated like "supplies".

I've come to the viewpoint that this would be a good thing. I think we've moved too far in the direction of never paying for anything with cash.
From https://www.evunite.com/blog/tesla-owner-demographics/ :

> Based on data pulled from 2,650 Tesla owners, the average household income of a Tesla Model X owner is $143,177 per year.

> The average household income of a Tesla Model S owner is $153,313 per year.

> This compares to the United States national medium household income of $78,500.

143k is about the 85th percentile ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United... )

So, this is at least upper middle class.

I wouldn't buy a house now if I could help it. It only seems reasonable because of extremely low rates. That is also the same thing driving equity valuations in our field to historically unusual levels. This is partially driven by market and partially driven by monetary policy, and it really can't go much lower than it is. Rate increases have a large increase on the present value of a mortgage of stock.

> I'm not sure how you're getting "minimum wage is a livable wage" from that comment.

The comment you replied to stated:

> There are a lot of jobs where your net pay is below zero, long term, when you factor in the external costs associated with working, such as needing transportation.

Transportation is just a single one of those costs. Nobody in their right mind is going to get a job that they recognize won't pay for their expenses and many people consider more expenses than just transportation.

> I was only talking about expenses related to getting the job (eg. transport).

Disagree. If Apple only had their Music app, they wouldn’t have to maintain the whole ecosystem that comes along with the app store that allows Spotify to exist as an iOS app. Maintaining that system is where the 30% goes. Would anyone then say Apple had an unfair advantage as to who could have a streaming platform on iOS?

Spotify would be free then and are now to make a web based player like youtube or soundcloud.

Right, and so the seller then has to put that money back in the market in some other asset at marginally higher prices, lest they lose money to inflation holding it in cash (or fixed-denomination assets).

This is the natural consequence of negative real interest rates. With positive rates the infinite series representing the "discounted value of all future cash flows" converges to a single dollar value. With negative rates the series diverges: the "discounted value" of future cash flows is greater than their nominal value, simply because you're losing money with competing investments. The rational value of any investment that generates positive and predictable cash flows becomes infinite.

Right now the only thing holding a lid on equity valuations is the expectation that the Fed will eventually raise rates, and so cash flows from time periods > 2023 need to be discounted at positive rates. If that doesn't happen, or if they don't raise rates by more than the inflation rate at the time, things will go boom.
No, that's just a single overlevered market with, well, the banks laughing all the way to the bank? Because apparently they can get away with it.

Individual markets have crazy price increases all the time. It's happened to gold, oil, wheat, and virtually every tradeable thing ever, including housing. That it happens in one place is no reason to cry inflation.

Everyone seems to love the LG WebOS software, I seem to be the only one that absolutely hates it. I have the LG E9 (previous generation, one year old). The picture is great but I hate just about everything else about it. Having to point at things with the "magic remote" is the least usable input interface I've ever encountered -- I'm not sure if I'm just completely devoid of motor skills but I find it ridiculously difficult to point at a particular thing on the screen, especially if it's a small hitbox. I genuinely don't understand how anyone likes it (but I know they do). I guess I'm the only one who still sometimes watches linear TV but the on-screen program guide is basically unusable; it takes literally a full minute to load 2 hours' worth of shows for the currently displayed 10 channels sometimes (and then repeat if you scroll to view a different 10 channels). Meanwhile my cheap Samsung dumb TV from 5 years ago works flawlessly (other than being only 1080p) and it's easy to browse with the arrow-key-based remote.
Median incomes are irrelevant to housing developers. All that they care about is whether there are enough customers to buy their products. The developers typically don't lend to customers so the only risk is that demand might collapse in the middle of a project. A lot of small developers went bankrupt during the last recession because they had borrowed to build new projects and then couldn't sell the completed homes.

The federal government wouldn't really be able to prevent REITs from buying up homes.

The actual email sending / receiving part is handled by Amazon SES here. Similarly you could use Sendgrid in that place. This project is a wrapper around those. It also doesn't aim to provide an email inbox - this is for programmatic handling of email.

Now the interesting part to me is using the email address local part to create an email address hierarchy upon receipt.

This project stores incoming emails to S3 and the '+' in the email address indicates subfolders from left to right.

That's a very creative way to organize emails for processing.
Right that's analogous to my example:

"Why aren't you doing anything about X?"

"What do you mean I'm not doing anything; I've dropped several grand on therapy to deal with X!"
I auto notarize my app when I push to a release-candidate branch even if I don't deploy it. I also have a general code signing CI test that catches stuff before notarization would. I believe I've never, in thousands of pushes to this branch, hit a non-obvious notarization issue.

The main annoying thing so far for me using notarization long term is the terms and conditions signing step, which is silly because they're only updating the paid apps contract and we're notarizing explicitly so we can distribute outside the app store.

I moved too from DoD to FANG, and I’m not sure how you can say this with a straight face. Nothing FANG does on its worst day is comparable to what DoD does on its best day.

That’s not to say the DoD is inherently evil from the bottom up. It’s just that the things activists love to hate about FANG (potentially contributing to border control, selling technologies to foreign governments, data collection), the DoD does ten times over.

If you do, you put average people at REITs out of work. This isn't a terrible thing if you ask me, because not much of it is real estate specific. REIT HR people can find work at other companies, developers and salespeople, too. But it's not a good look, I suppose?

No, because the key difference between renting and buying is that if you rent something, the provider will be forced to repair it for you. The issue is that they try to have it both ways, the strict control of renting something (users can't resell it, repair it, modify it) and the reduced responsibility of selling it.

Thanks for the reply. I respect what you are trying to do with shaping the conversation.

Yes, you are right about the frustration and you are right about the addicting qualities. I did comment in frustration.

I would say, however, it is additionally frustrating when the overall tone of the mob comes across as one of invective, and yet an invective comment that is mob-dissenting gets the comment from the moderator.

It is not just about stating correct facts on this topic. There is a value judgment and moral judgment being made here. Goodness knows I don't feel comfortable commenting counter to the collective opinion here.

Again, I agree I commented in frustration and likely unproductively and I appreciate the intent to moderate good discussion.

I believe it has something to do with someones level of "institutionalization", or perhaps, how comfortable they are with institutions and authorities themselves.

A PhD holder is a PhD holder, at least in part, because they trusted that the many 1000's of hours of study and hard work they put into to receive a certificate from an institution was worth it. And this is because they, at some level, trust the institution itself.

Presumably this trust can also transfer to other "authorities", like US cable new media companies.
Your census data is 7 years out of date. Has anything changed since then?
No you can't, and you haven't been able to in some time. Apple devices that need restoring post-EOL are generally restricted to the last-released version. I think you have to go back to the original couple of iPhone models to be able to ignore SHSH and APTicket.

There are ways around this with some models, but it's been a long time since it was even "save SHSH blobs and replay them" easy.

Nearly every electronic device I bought in the 1970s did not have included schematics. TI-55, Pong console, digital watches, Speak'n'Spell, transistor radios, Mattell football and baseball handhelds, Simon... and on and on.

Nearly everything then was also not easily repairable, and certainly not by an average consumer.

What about reliability? Battery aside, the components in a smartphone could all be built to last 10 years. Regulations on component lifetimes might have a much more beneficial effect than repairability requirements. A well engineered smartphone or laptop shouldn’t need repairs within the reasonable expected lifetime of the device. But at the moment, manufacturers aren’t incentivized or required to target 10 year lifetimes.

I see it as a bit like ETOPS. You can fly across the Atlantic on two engines as long as those engines are super reliable. Similarly, you should be allowed to build unrepairable devices if you can show, say, an expected lifetime of 10 years for 99% of units.
Well, easier... except that your hypothetical insecure WASM program has virtually no I/O, so pretty much every exploit is going to need some kind of extra indirection to even get into the WASM program - and once hacked, that WASM program again can barely interact with anything, meaning that again expoitability is going to be pretty situational. I suppose a native program might also have a sandbox that's as restrictive, but that's not exactly common.
