I don't think there's enough in this about a two-part story: just-in-time hollowed out "resilience" to supply chain shock. So, the 'spare capacity' in the system was low, because people had pruned back excess stock holdings on the evidence that JIT was working for decades.

Then, a significant disruption to normal intermodal container flow emerged. This immediately became a compounding problem because its actually pretty chaotic: The containers themselves form a 'just-in-time' supply flow, to meet market EXPECTATIONS of need for the various flows of real supply chain goods and material inputs: When this shock hit, the system stopped having surplus container capactity to move things, which meant it was blocked in "deadlock" around moving things, which made the supply chain fragility problem emerge.

The absolute number of containers hasn't dropped: they're in the wrong places and nobody is willing to fund a one-way zero-profit ship to fix that.

Really, I think the missing word here is "externality" -If the value of an empty container and ship was re-struck in this situation, or some adverse-possession/force-majure was undertaken, the container problem would heal: As it stands, its left to market forces and with nobody willing to carry the costs, nobody is moving to fix things. After all, the evidence is (evidence? Rumour!) there's a market shock coming: who wants to be left with surplus goods, and nobody buying anything?

Its cute to blame this on evergreen and the suez, but its way beyond that. Chinese ports shut down. There's a backlog. African ports clogged up. Moving masks and PPE around disrupted normal flows. Bodies on desks changed.

Shipping runs on paperwork, regulated arbitrage, and a huge amount of personal communications and trust. (as I understand it) much of this evaporated in the crisis.

I think that airline reboot with goods, not people might be part of the answer: absorb the surplus cost, but get things moving again by putting boxes on aircraft for things normally sent in containers on ships. Won't work for coal and iron ore, will work for the plastic bags you need, to start shipping the goods which you've made, which are held up waiting for plastic shipping bags.

Global post is still broken. Before this time, I had basically never lost a letter or parcel in the post. Now, I've lost one, and know of at least one other, and had a delivery from the US take 4-5x as long as normal. I have no idea how christmas is going to work.
I would think retail/general public facing working environment being basically the least desirable working environment, the most capable people will always self select out for better opportunities, especially since the pay is the lowest.
I was reading Theophrastus recently - his very entertaining Characters, having read that it inspired a large number of imitators, among them La Bruyere's Characters[0], long one of my very favourite books.

The chapter titles give the idea: I. The Ironical Man II. The Flatterer III. The Garrulous Man IV. The Boor V. The Complaisant Man VI. The Reckless Man VII. The Chatty Man VIII. The Gossip IX. The Shameless Man etc

[0] A taste of La Bruyere:

Children are haughty, disdainful, quick to anger, envious, curious, self-seeking, lazy, fickle, timid, intemperate, untruthful, secretive; they laugh and weep readily; the most trivial subjects give them immoderate delight or bitter distress; they wish not to be hurt, but they like hurting others: they are men already.

Usually when people say something would be a simple change, they're not aware of the underlying complexity.

This is a different case -- HN genuinely does not have a complicated UI, and it genuinely would not be difficult to make a UI that worked better with screen readers. It would not be difficult to rebuild a HN UI to stop using tables without even making any visual changes to what the site looks like.

There is very little complicated functionality going on in HN pages. They're paginated, they don't have a ton of content, they don't have a lot of complicated UI controls they need to support. They're mostly static pages with some very minor form controls.

In this specific case, there really is no excuse for HN to be screenreader inaccessible. This would not be a complicated conversion for even a single experienced web developer. You wouldn't need to use React, you wouldn't need to use any 3rd-party library or dependency at all. You wouldn't need complicated CSS features, you wouldn't need to redesign the UI.

Honestly in a lot of ways, the current HN table layout is more complicated than it needs to be, the generated HTML could be a lot simpler. Really, there's a difference between being "retro" and using what works instead of chasing modern trends, and having outputted HTML that's broken and hacky, and was broken and hacky even at the time it was released. HN is very solidly in the latter category.
The SIM was why I moved over from Verizon. I could sample/use/trade a lot of phones as I’ve always enjoyed playing with devices. On Verizon I had to go to a store to activate my devices and half the time the sales person would mark me as using an upgrade that I didn’t. I had to fight Verizon enough times before deciding enough was enough. My guess is the salespeople got some bonus or kudos for getting upgrades sold.
I liked this article. Productivity, is the next biggest thing to solve. All these “productivity” (tools for thought) are the toys of the future. We have too much information, and crappy ways to manage it. At the end of the day, that’s all a computer is, an information processing machine. So we’re merely modeling how humans of the future will interact with personal computers. Ultimately it’s about changing that underlying relation with humans and information.

> Amazon and other retailers are free to not sell products if they don’t want to. Entirely up to them. The relationship between booking sites and hotels is vastly different to Apple and app developers.

Apple is a lot more hotel-booking-like than retailer-like IMO: approximately no-one is browsing through the apple "store" (though people might use it as a search mechanism), it's more or less just an aggregator of a bunch of third-party products. People don't go there because they want to get something from Apple, they go there because it's the only way to get an app onto their phone.

> I doubt Apple would have had a problem with developers noting the 15/30% store fee if it wasn’t being done for such obviously disingenuous purposes.

That's completely backwards - Apple is being far more disingenuous. They keep their cut secret because they know the users would - quite rightly - feel they were being ripped off.
It might get a little bit weird when a TV show also has movies that are correlated to the show plot. Stargate SG-1 had a couple like that, if I recall correctly. It might be nice to display those movies with the show so they can be watched together in the appropriate order.

> I wonder how much of the authoritarian tendencies of the government of certain countries (e.g. Russia, China, Iran) is driven by a desire to maintain the stability and control presumably needed to resist hostile actions by the US empire that ironically professes freedom and democracy.

There is a really interesting passage in Ron Suskind's book 'One Percent Doctrine' about the 2004 release of Bin Laden video, released four days before the US presidential election (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Osama_bin_Laden_video). The intelligence consensus was that this was released to help re-elect Bush, as the Bush-led US gives legitimacy to Al Queda's actions as much as much as Al Queda's actions legitimize US war on terror.

edited: corrected the book reference.
Recoveryour lost Bitcoin or say goodbye
It is now possible to recover scammed or stolen bitcoin or cryptocurrency with Paramount Forensics Intelligence. Bitcoin is believed to be highly secure . However, sometimes fraud can lead to loss of your bitcoin wallet, even the most experienced traders sometimes lose their bitcoins. Until recently, it was almost impossible to recover stolen bitcoin but thankfully there is help now. All you need to do is provide proof of the theft transactions and send it to reclaimcryptoguru@engineer.com

you can not do it yourself, you need the help of a recovery expert but do be careful, there are many fake recovery companies out there that is why i vouch for this. If you recently lost your coin you need to act fast as to stand a better chance of getting your money back, Because the more time you waste, the more time the scammer has to transfer your money to yet another wallet. Good luck
Namespaces, schema.

Though I think that namespaces are pretty trivial to add to Json. At least in a primitive form. Just add key “namespace” to some object.

And there’re multiple efforts to make Json Schema. But so far most of APIs that I saw, do not use those.
This sounds like they aren't working on their own ACPI implementation, and are at the mercy of whoever is providing it (motherboard or bios vendor? intel?). Hence conflating hw and firmware and not using precise terminology. Elsewhere in comments here it's claimed that eg Lenovo implemented S3 on these CPUs.
I started doing this around 7 years ago. A company I worked at imposed a nights and weekends working schedule. I left mostly to move to be closer with my current wife who lived further (> 1 hour) away. At the time it was still early in our relationship. Seven years later she is my wife and the company that asked for nights and weekends, no one cares about.

Ultimately, it's payers -- taxpayers and insurance payers -- that aren't down the the "hire more people" solution. Another stakeholder group that's not down with it? Doctors. The AMA, who doctors control corporately, don't certify enough medical schools to train sufficient doctors to make the reality you want possible.
I'd venture to say that health, safety,. and related regulation is the chilling effect on construction productivity here. OSHA didn't come around til the 70s but plenty of implicitly required changes came about in the mid/late 40s, for numerous industries. On top of that, specific to construction industry, my theory is that WW2 hampered or reduced the available labor workforce while those in regulatory design positions were potentially exempt from the war and thus entrenched by the time 1947 came about. I could just be talking shit but I also would place a few bucks on being right.
People in politics do a lot of post-hoc reasoning about things which are coming in from another domain. The focus on cyber security and s/w/security standards in the region has been there 2+ years deep. This is just frosting on the cake, for something long underway.

Have a look at the skills required in ICT in the Australian jobs market. These roles were being announced long long before the "quad" became a cute marketing term.
>the only purpose for a career is to "get rich".

What other reason is there for a career? If there was no financial incentive for most, I highly doubt anybody would waste the time learning how to be a lawyer, programmer, or doctor. People don't just go into a career hoping to make a menial wage and work 40-60 hours a week.
My career has looked like tech startup (fullstack programming) -> finance sales -> B2B tech sales -> unskilled labor -> skilled labor (HVAC/Electrician/Plumbing, etc. for OPSEC reasons, won't specify)

Skilled physical labor is where its at.

Unskilled labor is basically a few steps removed from being a slave. 10 hour days (many times 11-12) at bottom-barrel wages, working as fast as you can (because corporate tracks efficiency. Yes, it's actually quantified! HAHA), and getting injured no matter what. It's mind-numbing. I hated it.

Now I've been doing a skilled trade, and I feel rejuvenated from being burnt out of white collar/office shit. Get to work around 6-7am, leave around 2-6pm (depending on workload. Usually it's around 3. However, this is with paid overtime. Once you start making the big bucks, your overtime becomes obscene). If you work for a small shop/family-like environment it's very laid back. You develop the stamina needed in about 6-8 weeks, and after that you get very fast at everything physical you do.

There's a lot of learning involved (especially keeping up with your state's local building code), but once you know the code and how to use the tools, you basically don't need to relearn the latest way to build something, or spend weeks trying to wrap your head around a tool, or hours late at night wracking your brain trying to decipher shitty mandocs and undocumented APIs, or troubleshooting/debugging while simultaneously wanting to blow your brains out.

Everything is simple to learn, troubleshoot, and wrap your head around; it's all in the physical world.

Fuck office jobs. Fuck unskilled labor work. Being a farmer is almost like being a glorified landscaper.

Nonetheless, I don't see myself doing this forever, so I'm working on a side business so I can break out of the labor class, and join my fellow capital-owning brothers.
Of course not, through the southern border illegaly!

Yes, data-scraping projects written as a hobby tend to not have perfect data. There's over 600+ shows here! I collected most of the show/subreddit data from an existing list of "most popular" Tv subreddits. The original The Office wasn't in that list.

Also, "You're obviously an American" comes off as weirdly hostile, which I choose to assume was unintentional.

I just moved my whole family to Google Fi because there IS no store, and all account management is dead easy on a very well-built website. Took me several days of waiting on hold with AT&T to get the numbers transferred, and now I can never log into my AT&T account again because it wants to 2-factor the sim card in my car (my only remaining line), but it's already proven worth it for my mental well being alone.

This is backwards.

And whatever this is, does not make sense to me.

1. You can just go to the show's subreddit and browse, or browse with filters such as top, hot, etc. And you can filter the time period.

2. You can use Google. This works great for me. Just type "the wire reddit" or "site:reddit.com the wire", and the first result will be the subreddit page, but if you scroll down, you will start to see threads from other subs as well. This way you can access more discussions outside of the dedicated subreddit.

____

In a more general note, you can find all sorts of different stuff by using Google to browse reddit this way.

I have watched quite a few really good movies by searching "your top 5 movies reddit", "your favorite movies reddit", or "best movies reddit". I just go through the past viral threads and find highly upvoted responses, or responses with some of movies I liked and some that I haven't watched.

I have discovered Clue, Primer, Hot Fuzz, Tropic Thunder, The Big Short, etc. this way.
Hey! Good question!

No, I'm certainly not available to take calls 24/7 right now. For a smaller scale business, it's certainly seems reasonable to only take calls during "normal business hours." That being said, during those hours when businesses are normally responsive to a live chat feature, Mantis is meant to provide a higher throughput medium to answer questions and solve issues faster than someone can via text.
I don't really get why more people don't use MVNOs like Google Fi or Mint rather than ATT&T and Verizon.

If Norway would just wait 2 more weeks, the common cold endemic would go extinct.
There are two fairly decent existing standards for covid vaccination proof that I am aware of.

SMART Health Cards - California, Louisiana, Walmart, New York and surrounding areas (Excelsior plus), Quebec (I believe, they don’t have a public spec), and some others.

EU DGC - All eu countries, some others like the UK.

Both are fairly well thought out and use public key cryptography. I’m not a huge fan of the signed JWT thing that SMART uses but wouldn’t let perfect get in the way of good. Why anyone would go and build something that isn’t largely compatible with either or both of these is beyond me.

In many of these instances it seems like the public health department is getting scammed by local players who say they can do something like this and then have Not Invented Here causing massive issues.

I’d love to work on a verifier which supported both the EU and SMART standards in one app.

Generally, but not always, a subreddit will have a discussion thread hub pinned or as a wiki page, but not always. They were outright missing enough of the time that I was bothered enough to make this.

Although the main reason I made it was because I like to read discussion threads after every episode I watch. So I'd google "reddit <show I'm watching> Season .. episode .." _a lot_. And have to tweak the query sometimes to find something. So I made a website.
>but the majority of states are currently not in lockdown

This is needlessly misleading. The majority of the population is in perpetual lockdown, especially Melbourne which has been in lockdown for the longest period of time globally under much stricter rules than Europe and the US.

"The majority of states" are not the majority of people.

Make no mistake, Australia is locked down. With recent changes, foreign citizens are prevented from returning to their home countries without approval. Not only are citizens trapped, but foreigners who had the misfortune of being here are now trapped as well.

You may claim there are exemptions, but I've seen piles of evidence that foreigners are being denied exemptions to leave even in extraordinary circumstances (leaving permanently to see dying family, for example).
I hope it will be popular to write code that is elegant and easy to read. Code that anyone, including the author, can pick up decades later and understand what's going on right away.

Personally, I'd like to be programming in Pascal, with some new features added

Heaps, Lists, Stacks, Queues, Dictionaries, and S-expressions all as first class objects.

A new *magical assignment operator* ::== (or something like it) that does reactive assignment... if anything on the right changes, the left gets updated every single time after that point. (Like assignment in a spreadsheet)

I'm a great believer in homeostasis. If you tweak cholesterol expression in one way, the body is going to react in another. Generally, the brain takes priority. I don't know how, but presumably the autonomic/hormone regulatory functions in the brain work better if they aren't marginalized, re-balancing what the body overall has to work with.

Whatever else I know in this space (not much: not a scientist, not in the field) I have become very skeptical of dietary influence on things like blood cholesterol levels. Sodium levels, I can believe something as simple as eating too much salt can alter: thats a really simple molecule. Fats and associated products are bigger, more complex, and carry things alongside which I don't think sodium usually does: the salts are simpler forms, the fats have complex side-bound payloads in the form of vitamins and fat soluable goodies. Your cells aren't just getting this stuff by osmotic pressure, they have active organelles which "seek out" the good stuff. Its the difference between random stochiometric and catalysed outcomes. There's energy, there's cellular structures, there's consumption and expression going on.

I'd take a statin if advised. I wish I wasn't on hypertension meds, I had a 10+ year hit, then a 10+ year window without, now I'm back on 'em again. I do far more exercise than I used to, and I eat as much yummy dairy and animal fat as humanly possible.
