Technically true. But inflation as a function of monetary / fiscal policy is top of mind for many right now — and what most people picture when they hear the word — and so it’s helpful to draw a distinction.
You would be amazed at the stupid shit people watch. There's a surprisingly enormous Twitch segment of people who stream playing slots. No gameplay at all, just watching someone else clicking "go again" on a random number generator. Here's a slots streamer who apparently has 30 thousand live viewers right now: https://www.twitch.tv/trainwreckstv
AirBnB does throw a spanner in the works of the rental market.

But I don’t think there’s either an infinite pool of AirBnB demand or that every landlord is willing to put up with running an AirBnB regardless of profit (doing AirBnB is more a business than a passive investment).

Maybe limiting AirBnB in residential zones will contribute to the solution, but neither limiting the capital flow into housing nor limiting the number of new units built will ever work.

Once Xorg became stable enough on Linux, it has served me well for many years. Most old complaints have been addressed a decade ago; it's got shared memory, accelerated 3d, fast paths for codecs... there's nothing to complain with regards to performance.

In terms of feature, using it through SSH always impressed me and allowed some quick tricks that would be much more complicated otherwise. It also allowed advanced usages like in Compiz, which I personally got involved and used to impress my friends who did not use Linux.

The remaining problems were more complicated to fix. Old code base, old unused extensions, lack of isolation and sandboxing, different DPI and refresh rates on devices, no guarantees of when something was drawn and single thread architecture that introduces unneeded latency. That's why we got Wayland.

I'm nostalgic to see Xorg go, but I'm happy to know it will be replaced by something better.
Or rather, a spook.
...and now that NPE has a "helpful" message, I've generally found it to be almost a non-issue these days. During development, I can usually figure out the problem immediately just from the message and I don't need to examine the stack trace.
>"A few random people on rose Twitter? Seriously, that is the best you can find? Thanks for proving my point for me. "

So I'll re-quote the parent comment you made:
>"NO ONE was calling it 'the Trump vaccine.' No one."

Emphasis on the 'NO ONE', that you asserted in all caps and then bothered to repeat as it's own sentence. I literally just provided you two examples of people on the left insinuating as such.

>"Seriously, that is the best you can find?"

I suppose pundits and left-leaning influencers who regularly reach the top of the trending feed on Twitter don't count. Would you rather I find nobodies? I would dredge up quotes from columnists or campaign trail statements that allude to the vaccine being untrustworthy because of it's association with Donald Trump, but I sense you're just going to ignore them and further proclaim that I've proved your point - somehow.
What's your definition of "resolved"?

If a Strip user appeals unsuccessfully through your official channels and then gives up, do you consider that "resolved"?

It seems like you exhaust those unfortunate users who banned due to Stripe's errors and then call it a success because they've stopped complaining. Or does your definition of "resolved" account for that?

> recognizing the progress that has been made is giving at least partial credit to the system of values and institutions that got us there. Many people want to burn it all to the ground.

Yes! An absurdly large proportion of people on the left and right believe that "the system" (capitalism, industry, democracy, power, whathaveyou) is broken and only radical or revolutionary change can make the world better.

But, as a radical centrist, social-capitalist and believer in visionary incrementalism — I totally disagree. I'm super glad to live in this timeline.
Hard disagree. Facebook does not need to optimize profit and growth in every product decision. They make choices about what to amplify, knowing the consequences of those choices.
Worse, it's not just ancient Marthas. A high percentage of younger generations—including those who grew up with desktop computers, so you can't just say "oh it's the iPhone's fault"—use computers essentially by rote and habit, without a conceptual understanding of much of it, and I don't mean in a theoretical CS-type sense, but more like plugging in a USB drive and knowing one specific place on one specific kind of window, reached by clicking one particular icon to find it in, and being totally lost if it's not there and/or concerned or confused if it's got a different name than the totally different USB drive you used last week, versus having some sense of what happens when you connect a disk and the sort of place you might be able to find it. It's the difference between "I get there by clicking this, then that" and "I get there by opening my file manager and navigating to what I need". They're saying the same thing, but one implies some understanding, and a resultant resilience and flexibility in use of the computer.

The former are following a script with most everything they do, while the latter have enough understanding to think in categories of behavior and to predict or explain things, at least a little, which doesn't make them immune to phishing, but does make them significantly harder targets. The latter sort are less common than one might hope, even among those younger than Martha, though, which becomes clear if you talk to people who work in non-technical offices—bearing in mind that all but the oldest workers are now mostly Gen X and Millennials, with only a few raised-on-phones Gen Z so far.

Overall, I'd say all signs point to every general-purpose desktop operating system being a usability and security disaster for at least half the population of non-oldsters.

> For the median and average to be equal, the points less than the median and greater than the median must have the same distribution (i.e., there must be the same number of points that are somewhat larger and somewhat smaller and much larger and much smaller).

[0, 2, 5, 9, 9] has both median and mean = 5, but the two sides don't really have the same distribution.
This is true, and people with highly involved parents, on the average, destroy their lives with drugs less frequently than those with absentee or abusive parents. We still throw heroin dealers in jail.

One effect of inflation is to reshuffle the economy toward bigger, higher-margin firms. The companies without sufficient margins to raise wages will simply go bankrupt. This reduces competition in their industry, which gives surviving firms more power to raise prices and pay those higher wages.
A monopoly becomes illegal when it negatively impacts consumers.

If a company is able to lower costs to better compete with another company taking market share, wouldn't that imply that:

1. They had a defacto monopoly in the sector that allowed them to price above the fair market value.

2. They harmed consumers by pricing above fair market value.

That's my point. Falling victim to alcoholism is not an apt analogy to getting a covid shot. People don't generally choose to become alcoholics. If you really want to make your contrived example fit, it would be something like a shot that prevents organ damage from alcohol, not desire to drink.

If such a thing were available, and people refused, and then got alcohol poisoning, then it is arguable that, on some level, their stupidity is to blame here.
There's also how Intel has repeatedly laid off older workers

https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2015/08/intel_layo...

> Proportionately, employees in their 50s were three times more likely to lose their jobs than workers in their 30s, according to a document obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive that tallies every Intel employee in the United States. The company was nearly five times more likely to lay off workers in their 60s than those in their 30s.

I'm sure they've lost a lot of institutional knowledge through cost-cutting like this.
This works great for a small-subset of the space-debris problem: satellites in low-earth orbit that have reached their end-of-life. For example, Starlink satellites maintain a small reserve propellant for their maneuvering thrusters to be executed at EOL. This activity will likely be mandated by regulatory bodies in the coming years (and definitely should be). However performing this task becomes much more difficult to do as orbits get higher. The higher the orbit, the more fuel is required to perform a de-orbit, and the more fuel is required to lift THAT fuel into the orbit in the first place. Propellant requirements scale exponentially with increased mass. Beyond a certain orbital altitude, it becomes prohibitively expensive.

In addition, the bulk of the space-junk problem is not defunct satellites, but fragments from previous collisions, and stage-separations (screws, scraps, paint-chips, etc). Satellites (even defunct ones) are easily trackable, and have known trajectories. Random 10 cm pieces of metal are not.

While mandating EOL maneuvers for low-earth satellites is definitely a solution to part of the problem, it is not the full solution.
I find your comment confusing. What exactly is the "good example" you're referring to? The person you are replying to appears to have done exactly what you are saying to do, by my reading, so I'm wondering what you're referring to.

> Lowering orbit is not easier than raising orbit, it takes the same delta-v.

Why is this? From a layman's perspective it seems like gravity would be a massive form of help here and therefore lowering orbit should require much less fuel.
I don’t understand this sentiment - that generally the best investing return is just index funds. Really? The dominant strategy in investing is also the easiest one by far, while also simultaneously being the definition of “average returns”?

No, if Angel investing didn’t have a commensurate premium, no one would do it. They would just do the easy way. Eventually markets progress to 0 profit (in theory - this has never been observed afaik), but in the mean time people make plenty of return.

The magic of index funds is dead-simple passive avg returns with a solid track record. They promise average returns - which is nothing to scoff at for sure and very appreciated, but they aren’t the end all of investing.

Also: that stellar track record (100+ years) of stellar growth also happens to be over the most economically successful period in the entire history of humanity. So many miracles have happened in the last 100 years that makes our society so different from the previous 10s of thousands of years of human history.

For a 5% annualized avg real return over the next 100 years, we’d need a global stock market of $7.5 quadrillion - 131x the current global market. For 10% we’d need a stock market of ~$785 quadrillion - almost 14,000x the current global market. We’d have to multiply our projected-to-stagnate population by orders of magnitude and pull off many incredible and increasingly insane miracles to pull that off: colonizing the entire solar system, AGI, aliens donating everything to us, and so on - while contending with ever depleting resources.

Relying on the passive growth of the global economy to invest is a “cheat code” quickly closing as it is, much less the best way to get returns.

I think it's fair to describe social media as addicting, but it's not the same thing as a chemical addiction where one can experience physical dependency and withdrawals. "Just quit" really is a valid solution, the reality is that most people just prefer to complain about social media rather than accept that they are responsible for how they spend their time.

IMHO, there's nothing inherently wrong with having a mission statement.

The fix here is that you must balance that mission statement with a well-defined set of Values as well. The mission is what you want to accomplish in the world, and the Values are the principles you plan to adhere to while doing so. The values can't just be some afterthought "check the box" exercise - they have to have significant decision-making weight in practice.

You'll be downvoted, but it would be interesting to set a quota based on how attractive other countries are. IE, the UK can only allow in 2X the number of immigrants from country Y if country Y allowed in 1X immigrant in the past year.
> The only way for a country of that size to resist a superpower is to ensure that that superpower loses their capital if they dare bite.

That's not MAD. Also I'm not sure if it's even plausible that Taiwan could successfully target Beijing even if it had nukes. Would their system be able to survive a first strike? Would it be able to penetrate hundreds of miles of Chinese air defenses or defeat an ABM system? IIRC, ABM systems are far easier to build if you're willing to put nukes on the interceptors.

From my armchair, Taiwan's best bet is to create an Israeli-style reserve army that can mobilize most of the population to fight a short, intense war.

You seem to imply that "undocumented immigrant" isn't actually less factually descriptive or a euphemism at all, but a term that refers to a slightly broader category than "illegal immigrant."

I don't know if that's a correct categorization, but given that framing the relevant differences are not at all about one "descriptive" term and one "euphemistic" one.

Hey, not sure if it's a coincidence, but I also just made qrcode.show (terminal compatible).
I don’t know if this is true, especially in the case of Tesla.

The fact is, China prevents money from leaving their country, so any western company in China is kind of a farce, because they can’t actually take their money out if they make any. What they do hope to get out of China though is intellectual property, which can pass boundaries without taxes.

If Musk really has a utopian goal of decreasing emissions, he couldn’t care less if China took over Tesla China, because he won’t be making actual money from Tesla China anyway. Instead, he hopes that manufacturing innovations and ideas can be shared to his other factories.

If china took over tesla China and didn’t share innovations, that would just be stupid on their part, because the rest of the world would be working together and sharing innovation without them.
I'm curious if the performance and simplicity of this isn't the same as creating a virtual interface and bridging it to your real interface and then simply setting all the rules on that virtual interface. Then your service just binds to that virtual interface and everything simply looks the same as any other virtual network.

Yes, to a mild extent and indeed they do, but for the most part Apple itself does this work, so the owners don’t have much extent.

With Bitcoin there is nothing other than the owners, and there is no product.

> "Pyramid scheme" is a real thing with a real meaning. Someone posting "BTC to the moon!" on Twitter does not make BTC a pyramid scheme.

No, it’s a symptom of the fact it is structurally a pyramid scheme.

Or they do, and they can see that in the context of decentralization, Bitcoin in fact is one.
