You aren’t even controlling the upper bound, because as explained these calories have not much to do with how your body processes them. For instance you might think you reduced the calorie count by forgoing 200 calories of bread to eat 150 calories of tofu, but if your body processes tofu better than bread, you’ve effectively increased your energy consumption while the count is lower on your spreadsheet.

Same way you might be eating the same amount of tofu everyday, assuming you have a steady calorie intake, while your actual ingestion rate will be all over the board. If/when you’ll be decreasing quantities your ingestion rate might go up enough to effectively increase the energy you take from it, creating weird states that don’t make any sense looking at the numbers from outside.

The lowering the upper bound only start to make sense when the body is really starving, in that your daily life has become hell, and you start lacking elements other than calorie. Some see that as a success, I see it as dangerous for most people.

The people dropping out of these diet don’t do so because they don’t have the guts, but because they end up worse that where they were at the beginning. It’s not everyone ending up there, so we’ll still hear the success stories of course.
Some have already gone bust. I don't think the concern is the credit money, the problem is getting moved to another provider and instantly paying a higher rate than before.

Some of the icon tests are bogus. I deliberately don’t put any <link rel=icon> on my site, but have a favicon.ico containing (among other sizes) 16×16 and 32×32. Your tool complains about meta tags for 16×16 and 32×32 not being found in the HTML. Well, they’re not, but they’re not necessary, because I haven’t put anything in place that would disrupt the favicon.ico fallback. 192×192: … why? Won’t things gladly scale that 512×512 you want down? Manifest and other large icon sizes: this stuff isn’t relevant to all sites. And that’s a problem with these sorts of tools in general, they give scores tuned to a single usage profile which simply isn’t suitable in all cases. As with HTTP Observatory’s XSS stuff commented about elsewhere in this thread. What we need for tools like this is profiles that twiddle rankings. Things like “personal content site” which changes manifest and Apple/Safari/large icons to optional. As it stands, the weighting of this extra stuff is way off base—I get given an F for that section, when I honestly think it should get at least an A, when operating under my hypothetical “personal content site” profile.

Test 48 is bogus, the <body> start tag is optional.

Test 111, wanting initial-scale on the viewport meta tag, I’ve been casually searching for someone to confirm what it actually does, and if it’s still needed. Most indications suggest it was basically a workaround for an ancient iOS Safari rotation bug, but I’ve come across at least one person stating (without detail) that it still did something. Any chance you have Apple stuff and can investigate more as to whether it’s actually still at all useful?

Test 33, DMARC record formatting, looks bogus.

I think maybe there’s an aspect of “you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” at play? I wonder if there is anything interesting in the difference between those who gamble for the thrill of a loss averted compared to those who gamble for the thrill of a win? Is it a different “high” they’re chasing altogether or is it just a different magnitude?

I don't understand. There is no rule anywhere that says an open source product has to focus on user choice, or that says a corporate solution has to disregard user choice. It's up to any group of developers to decide if they want to support a certain level of user choice or not, for whatever purpose.

Very true. The 2008 housing bubble did not have low interest rates. 30 year average was around 6%. Now it's under 3%. That 3% makes a HUGE difference in purchasing power.

Alex from Speedify here. Yes, we make a multi-path VPN tunnel, so that calls can be shifted from one link to another without glitches (apps see the same IP address the whole time).

As a Virgin Media customer for some time now, and having previously worked for ISPs, I think I can say with some reasonable confidence that VM are a really really mediocre ISP.

I almost admire how mediocre they are - they do just enough to keep people on their service and because they've done the work of laying cable to all the houses in an area, there's little incentive for OpenReach to lay fibre in those areas.

I live in London and I can get Gigabit from VM (although only download, their upload is a pathetic 50Mb/s) so OpenReach has just left this area on crappy old copper phone lines and my alternative is <10Mb/s from DSL.

It sucks and I hate it and I have absolutely no choice in the matter. Thanks capitalism! ;)

Edit: Fun fact, VM is owned by Liberty Global, who have thus far rolled out IPv6 on their other ISPs using DS-Lite (where you get a routable v6 address, but your v4 address is behind Carrier Grade NAT). I saw this and decided to switch to VM's business service so I could get a static v4 address.... turns out they just connect normally over the residential network and then do a GRE tunnel to the other side of the country for the static addressing, and their crappy router will just randomly stop routing packets over the GRE tunnel after a couple of weeks, requiring a reset of the router.

It's possible that it could have been a huge win, which would have enabled all of the rest of his (and the LibDem's) agenda. Instead, it basically destroyed the party.

His successor tried to resuscitate it, when Labour failed to be an anti-Brexit party. That was a huge opportunity. But they were so far behind after Clegg's debacle that all it really did was to turn some Labour seats to Tory.

I think this falls under the general "don't threaten the relationship." Whether it's joking about firing, saying "maybe we should just get divorced", joking a child was an accident etc. When things get stressful people often reevaluate comments in their new emotional state and what might have felt like a joke could become a threat. Subsequently instead of working to solve a problem for a situation they trust, people often work for self preservation.

I'm most excited about the support for "better" migrations and interaction via a GUI.

While we're not strictly Jamstack, I could absolutely see us using this as an auxiliary to our primary production database, i.e. for prototyping or launching new features rapidly without having to migrate the full prod schema.

To use this alongside our production dbs, my wishlist would be:

1. A way to "eject" to raw postgres/etc, gives me peace of mind that if things don't work out, I can still take my pg_dump and go home.
2. Maybe a Prisma.io integration?! Would allow it to play nicely with out non-serverless backend, while ALSO catering to serverless applications.

Just some thoughts!
These charts are not very useful without taking interest rates and inflation into account; in fact you could almost use them to discuss interest rates and inflation, they are so intimately tied to housing prices and income.

If housing interest rates stay low or drop, prices will keep rising. Absent wage inflation that ratio will go up.

If inflation flows through to wages as it seems to be in process of doing, the ratio will stabilize or drop.

That anecdote reminded me of Taleb's book "Fooled by Randomness". There are a bunch of people in the book who seemed successful and then "blew up", losing everything. One of them was a Harvard squash player / hedge fund guy as far as I remember.

This seems like an extreme example of that, going from $100M to $10K and then committing suicide. It's a story that repeats itself throughout history.

Taleb's argument is that those people were never skilled -- they were lucky. It is possible to "win" for 20 years mostly based on luck.

Also he would probably argue (harshly) that at least this person accepted their consequences. These days the person who loses $100M based on an unsound trading strategy can socialize their losses.

Bitcoin mining has been suggested as the solution for incentivizing the effort without massive government subsidies.

While it doesn't directly affect the average person's purchasing power, the same dramatic increase is happening in other asset values as well. [0] One interesting thing to note is that 2019 EV / EBITDA values were already "high," before the coronavirus was spreading.

I suspect these two phenomena have different causes overall, but low interest rates are a common factor that cause all asset prices to increase.

On the housing side, I suspect consumers purchase the house that their cashflow can comfortably support, not necessarily the one where they believe it is correctly valued, because the assumption that house values only increase means purchasing a well constructed house is almost never a "bad deal."

I'm not sure what the "solution," is, but knowing that voters hate when their home values fall does not give me confidence that prices will decrease in the long term.

Hm, unfair to whom. Do you know how much the artists actually receive?

Well, I did try, half-arsedly as always. Joined a few Discord groups, no one talks (had fun a few times when people were in voice chat tbf), servers just die.

Volunteered for community cleaning, fixing computers and bikes. The former was really nice, but no friends. The latter, they did their best to make it clear I wasn't wanted there. I mean, I wish they'd just say it to my face "look, we don't like you".

Every time I went drinking with coworkers, same thing. This reminds me a lot of my early years, where I would break my back (once literally) to help people, give them money, anything. They're friends, right? Turned out I'm no friend to them.

Now, the thing is, unlike online, I'm not an asshole offline. I am very quiet and really reserved. You'll never get a disagreement or any emotional opinion for that matter out of me and you certainly won't hear my real thoughts on anything. But I do want to and enjoy helping people, and I wish others were the same.

I guess that's a big problem to other people. There's no place for me here, damn. Just wish I wasn't such a coward and just went through with it.

Just first hand experience, y'all don't like it, well, I don't like it either.
I appreciate this effort since this gets closer than reporting on house prices alone. As other's have pointed out there are a lot of significant factors being left out (e.g. interest rates). One of my favorite analysis is the historical chart on how many hours you had to work for an hour of artificial (candle, lamp, electric, etc.) light. I'd love to see this applied to housing, though housing is extra difficult because the quality has also changed immensely (indoor plumbing, electricity, etc.).
How many times was the debt limit raised or suspended under the last republican administration (or the one before that, or the one before that…).

Or how about this one, who raised the debt limit more? Reagan or Obama? Fun fact, that would be Reagan.

Piped can also be substituted for Invidious in Privacy Redirect.

Yes, but that doesn’t itself seem like an implausible economic shift given how large the existing fossil fuel sector is.

Challenging, sure — perhaps it is politically impossible, I wouldn’t know as I’m not at all politically astute — but physically it seems fine.

> Are there enough raw materials for this?

That part at least is fine. Earth is big, and while lithium is in the category “rare Earths”, it isn’t all that rare compared to what we need, and even if it was lithium isn’t even the only option for storage.

One of the things suggested in your [2] was long-distance HVDC to different weather zones, and Scandinavian (hydro? I’m unclear) storage. In principle we could also do antipodal HVDC (different time zone for day/night, different hemisphere for summer/winter), though on a previous thread I was encouraged to do the maths and realised the EU collectively would use a 1m^2 cross section conductor for current HVDC designs (if you wanted 100% substitution rather than it being merely part of the solution), and this will take quite a long time to mine at current rates.

> How much waste would there be, given the limited lifespan of those batteries?

No idea, but the current alternatives are “set lots of it on fire” (fossil fuels) and “bury a tiny quantity of extraordinarily dangerous stuff in scary artwork for geological timescales” (nuclear), and all it has to do is beat those.

IIRC the end-of-life batteries can be processed back into their raw material more easily than can the rocks we start with for fresh batteries.
