I think you need to aim better.
Yes that became true after 3.5 inch disks with hard shells came out and were called "floppy", but before that all the floppy disks had soft outer shells, and I believe disks were named floppy for exactly that reason, not because the inner media was floppy.
> I understand that there are many ways of looking at it, but this seems backwards to me. Consumption does not meaningfully grow the economy; it shrinks it. Once something is consumed, it is used up, gone, no longer available.

This doesn't seem right to me. If I buy food from the grocery store and eat it, does that shrink the economy? If I enjoy a meal at a restaurant and tip the server, does that shrink the economy? I think both of those actions grow the economy. Both of these actions would grow the country's GDP.

Even though I don't agree with the reasoning, it is interesting. Essentially since a material has been used, and is no longer available, now the whole economy is poorer. There are different ways of measuring wealth, and you seem to be endorsing the amount of materials that an economy has determines its total wealth.
Christians have always been 1/3 scholar, 1/3 philosopher, and 1/3 priest.

The premise of Christianity is "revelation". That a higher power revealed knowledge to humans that is not knowable by any other means.

That there is revealed knowledge has meant that Christians spend much of their time thinking about and working out the implications of their revealed knowledge and trying to fit it into the rest of the world.

How rational you find Christianity depends on willing you are to accept it's premise. If you are then it is completely rational. If you aren't then it is nothing but castles built in the clouds.
> The practical problem I have seen with systems (mis?)designed like this is a scenario when the client needs to do action X on resource Y attached to thingy Z - and they already have all the required info to do that action - then they still need to do a request on Z to get the URL for Y and do a request on Y to get the url for action X, which adds extra requests and latency for no good reason.

If they have “all the info they need”, they have the identity of Y, which in a system designed around REST is the URL, and if Y is a resource, then its URL is the URL for actions on it, and the type of thing it is will tell you what method to use and (where one is applicable) resource to send to accomplish the action.

HATEOAS is more than just shipping URLs.
tinted mineral suncreens containing iron oxides and other natural pigments can be tan / skin tone but still contain only zinc or titanium as active ingredients.
Wow I feel so sorry for those elites, what more can we do to avoid such a tragedy for them?
No, since Thunderbolt needs active cables with amplifiers very quickly, which is driving the cost of TB3 cables well over 50$ for distances that a standard 15$ USB3.1 easily beats.

Physics is a problem here.
> "[verb] the [noun]" is pretty natural

For an English speaker. There are many human languages that put the verb at the end of clauses. Japanese is one example.
I used the charger + cable which came with my OnePlus 7 Pro to charge my Samsung Galaxy S8. The cable and port on the phone must have melted and solidified into one unit, because the next morning I couldn't unplug it. With more force the cable came out with the plug damaged and the USB-C male part in the phone ripped in half.

I don't think OnePlus makes incredibly high quality & safe chargers like Apple/Samsung, but they're not the cheapest Amazon garbage either.

This might be a rare issue, but it does happen. Combined with the mechanical degradation that USB-C ports go through (not as bad as micro-USB, but worse than full size USB-A - A does get loose but still makes good electrical contact), I specifically looked for wireless charging in my next device and try to avoid using the USB port as much as possible.
Another thing people complain about is the wealth gap.

Inflation increases the value of assets. Wealthy people own assets and poor people consume goods to survive. As a result, inflation increases the gap between the wealthy and the poor.

The only realistic way to reduce the wealth gap is to accept deflationary periods. This would also improve the savings rate and reduce debt.

I understand that modern theories believe deflation to be the end of days. I attribute that belief to the fact that a deflationary period was observed during the great depression, and has been believed to be a cause rather than an effect. I frankly disagree with that viewpoint.

I believe that the government has a vested interest in ensuring inflation because the government is a debtor. A protracted period of deflation would bankrupt the government.

People cite the post-war period as one of a smaller wealth gap, but the primary reason for that is that there had been a ten year period of deflation just proceeding it.
Could you please consider adding support for custom fields as part of this? For example, to be really useful in the in the UK, donation links would need to ask if the donor is eligible for Gift Aid (which increases donations by 25%). This then needs at least house/flat number and postcode to make a valid Gift Aid application (and some organisations may ask for more address details than that).

With those additional fields it would mean we could post donation links all over the place, and then get donor details out of Stripe for the donations team. Thanks :)
Haven’t seen anyone point this out but it helped me filter out anything in my cabinet pretty quickly: none of the sunscreens with >2ppm benzene have SPF <50. In fact there’s only one actual sunscreen in high end of the list with SPF 50, the rest are 60+. Interesting that this also seems to correlate, in addition to the spray and brand trends.
I guess not, it says 180 on the back. Haven’t bothered to meter it under full load + charging though.

To be clear, I’m skeptical of pushing that much power over USBC.

Not for casual use. There's no reason to use BRTFS or XFS on single-drive computers, unless you have a specific need for something like snapshots or checksums. BRTFS does let you do crazy things like split a single drive into 2 partitions, and run them RAID1.
Raw Elements is one of the main brands you'd pick if you use EWG as your sole resource in analyzing compositions, and Raw Elements is on this list of affected products. So EWG may not be enough.
The idea that you simply need to tan or lay out in the sun to become resistant to skin cancer is a fallacy. That's not how your body works. There is chemical damage to your DNA taking place that your body is actively repairing, but your repair mechanism isn't perfect. There is an inherent error rate. Increase exposure to sun, you are more likely to roll the dice and have a damaged cell that evades detection by your repair mechanisms, and all cells that come from this one damaged cell will also have this mutation that makes them invisible to your defense mechanisms. these cells can slough off the mass and slip into your circulatory system and take root elsewhere in your body. Bob Marley died of skin cancer, and he was plenty tan.
The less chemicals you use, the better. Use simple soaps and deoderants, etc.
Or just watch whatever one service provides. My queue on any service is always way longer than what I can get thru.

YouTube & others provide a large library for free (with ads). I assume most here are Amazon Prime members anyway, so that vast library is practically free. Apple TV always has some good $5 movies.

As I get older, the less I care about seeing the latest stuff - as there's always more I want to watch than I can get to.

(And if there really isn't enough for you to watch, you really need be doing something else.)

Sure, although this is fairly "batteries included". Very rough numbers:

- 34 lines to set up plugin manager/install plugins

- 43 for keybinds

- 35 for documentation

- 50 for autocompletion

- 20 for customizing one language server for plugin development (sumneko)

It adds up for sure, and neovim/vim/emacs are not ever likely going to be as plug & play as vscode/intellij, but I would argue the target user for vim/neovim/emacs is someone who wants more customization, which is almost always going to mean the configuration is more verbose.

If you have concrete suggestions on cutting down this config in particular, you can file an issue/PR. The main reason I created this, was because we (core neovim team) get a lot of "I just want something that works" type feedback (which to many includes autocompletion and default keybinds, which are almost 1/3 of the config)
> It's surprisingly plausible that wages would not rise and inflation would speed up.

I agree entirely. But the linked article explicitly blames increased deficit government spending. The article reads like a stealth attack on stimulus, with the implicit point that inflation should be controlled by ending it, rather than looking more deeply at causes like the ones you suggest -- which might lead to solutions that a Forbes contributor might not like, like taxing the rich.
Fully agree. The inflation story is completely overplayed, mostly as a partisan cudgel.

We should deal with the effects of inflation when we see the effects of inflation.
It's not just more cash (increase "demand"), it's also reduced supplies due to many businesses shuttering or reducing output during covid.

If you pick an API stack, consider your users.
If you build an API for general consumption that you want to gradually evolve and that should remain valid years from now, a RESTful API with HATEOS is a great choice.

If you need to drive a UI from your API and you control that UI, use something that makes you more productive and can be easily changed on both ends quickly - without regards to backward compatibility.

Most businesses can, unless you have a very different definition of what a data transfer is.

Not OP. I think the idea is that we dumped so much money into the economy and had so little inflation now, that not dropping the money would have meant severe deflation.

This seems only partially accurate, in that the users have no say in their representation, unlike a union.
Although I think it's extremely important to move forward in making artists do less work, I do not expect that a full zbrush model without any retolopogy to go into the engine and expect it to just work, specially because most of the time you also need to take care of animation and texture/uv. Also I also worry about download size. So there are still many reasons why you'd want to optimize the hell out of a mesh in a game engine even if it has the capability to support millions of polygons.
Half the country can't really shop around they need to buy internet alone from the same cable company and then replace TV with netflix hulu etc but long term there isn't much stopping the cable provider from jacking up the price of just internet to what you are paying for TV and internet and claiming to offer you a deal for just a little bit more if you pay THEM for tv.

Hi we've noticed you used to pay us $200 for internet and tv but now pay $100 to use and $50 for streaming services. How would you instead like to pay us 200 for internet and 220 if you want TV too. our $20 tv addon is cheaper than netflix because its subsidized by the monopoly rent we are charging you on internet access! Also we have noticed that despite bandwidth being cheaper than ever we can also discourage your netflix use by also charging extra for using "too much" data.
Oh that's funny, I am also old enough, but I'd have sworn I used floppy disks that had "HDD" on them. I think you're right though. All the pics are showing "2HD" and the more rare "3HD". There were disks with "High Density Diskette" printed on them, and initialisms "HD" and "DD" (double density). But I can't find any examples of HDD outside of hard disks.

Yes, but in practice who follows it to that level of detail?

From a layperson's point of view, are the astrophysicists that much different than a priestly caste?

I believe the physicists, but I don't think that by itself makes me a particularly rigorous thinker. In the ancient world I probably would have believed the priests, because it was what made sense to people.

And for better or for worse we have lots of evidence that people can reject science and still enjoy its benefits. It's not like refusing to believe in the Big Bang gets you blacklisted from using rockets or microchips, or rejecting evolution means you can't get vaccinated.
Not exactly open in many other ways too.
Yes but the article explicitly states that the vast majority of consumers don't have more cash to spend. So the cause of the inflation must be something else.
would it work from other things too? not everyone can get a vr. I think it would be more successful on VR and on PC. something like a first person view.

Or even just stop giving the rich money that is taken from regular people. The money may not be directly taken from us, but printing money causes inflation, which is not really different from taking money in the form of taxes. At the end of the day all of us regular people still have less purchasing power.

When you look at the pinout, USB-C is comparable to a conventional ad-hoc backplane in terms of the number of functions it supports.

Except the backplane implementations (i.e. the cables) are not uniform, so fun times.

At least with DB25-ended cables you could wire your own, albeit without the performance range.

Has that been continuously practiced? Other wikipedia pages [0][1] on the Sami suggest that they were all converted to Christianity by the end of the 18th century.

Housing, schooling, and healthcare are necessities that people will go deeply into debt to be able to afford. They will pull money out of their retirement to bid on houses or pay for their kids college. They will mortgage anything, and beg from friends and family, to afford healthcare.

These three items are well known to have costs that have risen above inflation for decades.

I offer an alternative explanation: these three items are so vital to people that they will sacrifice spending in other areas to support these costs. All of the unmeasured inflation of the past decades is represented solely in these items.
The Fed will do WHATEVER it takes to prevent house price deflation. They've already shown this during the Financial Crisis. Too much of the economy and financial system is based on house prices, there's no way that they can ever afford to see house prices decline in our lifetime.

There is a common little rhetorical tool, utilized frequently by politicians, where when you find yourself asked a question which you don't like, you choose instead to pretend that you've been asked a question with which you're more comfortable. That's what you've done here, by ignoring the points that I've made, and instead attempting to associate me with some other bucket of claims which you feel more comfortable responding to.

> The myth was an attempt to recast the Confederacy as something predicated on family and heritage rather than what it was: a traitorous effort to extend the bondage of millions of Black people.

The states that seceded in 1860 seceded purely to preserve slavery--that's a matter of fact. I don't see how that changes anything I stated above, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

> The myth asserts that the Civil War was fought by honorable men protecting their communities, and not about slavery at all.

This is an odd statement, because it contains two assertions, one true and one false. The Confederacy was created by white supremacists who wanted to preserve slavery. But they didn't start a war, they started a country. A country which was, for all the odious motivations underpinning its inception, just as much a democracy as the one that was founded by the Washington and Jefferson. When the United States declared their intent to wage war on the South, they were just as much a foreign power as the British were in 1775. The idea that Southerners were not defending their communities is simply bizarre.

None of this has any bearing on the assertions made above. Slavery is evil, we're all on the same page there. The Confederacy was created to preserve slavery. That was evil. But that doesn't change the fact that the North did not fight the war to free the slaves, but to subjugate the South and to preserve the American Empire. The fact that Confederacy was founded to preserve slavery doesn't have any bearing on the simple moral fact that imperialism is evil, too. And that nations don't get to start imperial wars, kill a million people, fall ass-backwards into taking an important moral action, and then pretend that the war was about that moral action all along.

If the North had fought the war to free the slaves, then you could make the case that it was a moral war. But they didn't, and it wasn't. It was an evil war which happened to bring about the end of an evil institution. We're adults, and we should be able to entertain nuance in our appreciation of history. It is okay observe that the end of slavery was a beautiful thing, and that we're glad that it happened, AND that the Civil War itself was a moral abomination and nothing to be proud of.
Tesla announces transition to ‘Tesla Vision’ without radar
You're probably right. The Thomas Erl book came out in 2004, so it was popular at least a year before that.

Btw, I am a consultant. As for implementing things - there are consultants that track toward the marketing/image side of the spectrum and there are those that track toward the shipping/substance side of the spectrum, as in all things.

On naming you are spot on. Being good at naming things is almost a job requirement. I've been at larger companies where there were multiple training sessions on how to name things for marketing, and when to hire outside consultants to come up with the names. I was on one project where tech leadership was outspoken and stepped on some toes. They respun the projects concept slightly and changed the name to sidestep the animosity.
