Another step to consider in lateral thinking about (personal diet -> diet book) is the marketing of such. Instead of allowing it on the marketplace, it could be sold by word of mouth in the manner of multilevel marketing. Many MLM systems act as giant siphons for unethical people.

> Why do people eat margarine?

True fact: because it tastes better.

On the one side you have cows and churning and maybe some salt.

On the other side you have a century of food scientists mastering the process of making things taste like we want them to taste, not merely beholden to the product that happens to fall out when you shake some cream long enough, who are able to produce something that better captures the essential nature of butter in the mind's eye...er, mouth. Margarine tastes more buttery than butter ever can.
It’s because our society has been trained to be risk averse so we don’t challenge traditional power memes. “Keep calm, carry on.” Thought ending slogans are what we’re weened on.

Mens biology predisposes them to anxious rage and we avoid it to avoid making daddy mad.

We won’t do anything to avoid the cost impact to the poor because it will cost the rich.

The biology of our politics is really well understood.

But I get it; it’s more fun to pretend you live in your own multiverse conjuring ad hoc explanations for everything.

This has nothing to do with abstract constructs you can’t name. That’s just a byproduct of you not having embedded muscle memory to announce one.

This forum really enjoys thinking it’s onto something millions of humans that came before have never considered while conjuring ideas within very similar social constraints as the last generation (especially in typical office life). Same old biology + new words != new insights.

I’m not one for tradition, and believing there’s something more to it all is a human tradition going back to our beginning.

In a political context, it’s always humans doing human stuff and that should be constrained to protect the freedom of humans being human.

It’s only in the abstract sciences are new ideas being created. I’m really tired of these articles about economics when “political capture by aristocrats” is enough to explain most of the issues.

If building a house (as in actually building the structure) costs $100k-$200k - typical labor and material costs in the US btw - but end to end costs for the same house are roughly $1 million-$2 million(typical in the Bay Area), is it honest or disingenuous to claim that lumber or labor costs are driving house costs up?

Because in this thread someone was claiming steam turbine costs were why nuclear was ‘expensive’, which is about as legit. Also in these nearby threads have been discussions about waste disposal (similar levels of not actually a problem), etc.

You’re similarly ignoring and seem to want to pretend that these costs are somehow fundamental to nuclear, despite me providing evidence it’s a general problem we have with building several types of things now, and is more political BS than anything fundamental to do with nuclear as a technology.

If the same thing happens to building roads, is it because ‘roads are expensive’? Or because ‘we screwed ourselves up even more so now we can’t build roads without going bankrupt’?

> 56% is merely those who have short term plans to leave

No, plans to leave are a much stronger claim that what the poll asks (the article suggests that it is the weakest of the questions polls typically ask of this issue, “considering leaving in the next five years”, but the poll [0] actually asked the second weakest form, “likely to leave in the next five years”, and 56% is the sum of “somewhat agree” and “strongly agree”.)

> With up to 77% not liking things, they are on the edge of deciding to leave

None of the reported numbers in the article are of “not liking things”, and the figure that is closest “not liking things” that is reported (“worse than five years ago”) is 71%, not 77%. 77% is what the article says is the percentage of those who agreed (at least somewhat) with the likely to move question that cited housing costs as a major reason (major reasons were not exclusive.)

The people “on the edge” are the 25% who only ”somewhat agree” that they are likely leave, already counted as part of the 56%.

While it's fun to blame commercial manipulators on the other side of our habitual browsing habits, and it's true to a certain extent, I think it's reductive to place all the blame on them. My own personal poisons are reddit and HN comments, neither of which I'd put in the category of conscious manipulators. The problem moreso lies in the fact that I can have a tiny urge for this content and in 3 seconds be satisfied. This is a very short feedback loop, roughly on par with the amount of time it takes for the drag from a cigarette to hit. The "root cause", in my opinion, is that humans are inclined to seek dopamine hits and technology has made them far too available, unlike any other time in our history.

Ok so I may be a rare exception but I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 4800 CPU and an Nvidia GPU GTX1650Ti and honestly I'm having a better experience on Windows 11 compared to Windows 10.

Before upgrading to Windows 11, I had all kinds of problems with Windows 10.

- When I a turned on the computer it took longer to log into Windows.

- Apps would open more slowly sometimes I would even have bugs with the Xbox app lagging.

- When I put my computer to sleep by shuting the laptop's lid and come back later sometimes the laptop wouldn't even turn the screen on and I had to forcefully shut it down.

Thanks for posting the url. You start looking at the numbers on a sub level and its not as shocking. 12 month change.

Gasoline (all types) 42.7% - Huge dip when the pandemic happened now its back to pre covid prices.

Natural gas (piped) 21.1% - Same issue.

Used cars and trucks 31.9% - New cars are being made because of a ship shortage.

Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs 8.0% - a labor problem because its hard to get that many people to work in spaces like that and not get sick.

A bit like I often do "Enter Enter ~ .` instead of just `~.` to kill a dying SSH session (I don't know why I hit enter twice here... a single time is enough.) to ensure the ~ is at the beginning of the buffer (if it's not, it won't work).

> It's fine and valuable to ask about the reasons why inflation is occurring, but the answer does not add or diminish it in the slightest.

The answer is key because that's what informs central banks and policy makers about what to do about it. That's why it's so important to try to understand why something is happening: So that you may do something about it.

For instance here in the UK petrol (for cars) and gas (for heating) prices have shot up which will feed in inflation numbers. Does that mean interest rates should go up to calm things down? No, because the reasons for this inflation are unrelated and most likely short term.
What is the best financial strategy in the case of inflation? Invest money so you don't have it sitting in a bank account? Spend it on big ticket items as they may hold their value better than the cash? Simply try to reduce costs?

> "Well, yes, the web page takes 28 seconds to load, but it's because we do several hundred database queries that are really slow, we do it in a slow language, we pull in dozens of unnecessary third party libraries and also our server is underprovisioned." How much faster does the web page load because you've explained why the web page takes a long time to load?

As I understand this issue, your metaphor would be different. Something like "Yes, the web page takes 28 seconds to load, but right now our provider is having allocation issues and we aren't getting the resources we have allocated. Let's wait to see if that gets fixed soon before spending time on researching and over-optimizing things, we might end up losing more than we gain if the latency is indeed due to the provider".

You know you're failing politically when you start resorting to punitive measures to keep people from leaving.

During the cold war, Ronald Reagan correctly pointed out that one of the clearest indicators the Soviet Union and their allies were in the clutches of a failing ethos, was that they had to build walls to keep their own people in rather than to keep their enemies out.
Note that this almost certainly isn't relevant unless you're on a corporate machine. I highly doubt that corporations are updating to windows 11 the month it's released.
You can cause similar symptoms with playing a low frequency tone on a decent standard speaker that the target cannot hear but a common consumer speaker can emit.

Question is probably now if the crickets were Russian or not.
The actual issue here is the Fed helicopter dumping into asset markets dwarfed stimulus checks to individuals. That is why it makes no sense to blame it on stimulus checks. The CARES Act allocated $560 billion in individual relief checks. The Fed asset purchases for 2020 is the $3.4 trillion number. That's more than 6 times as much.
Where I live everyone got money from unemployment and then months later the state sent letters to people about "overpayment". And its for large amounts of money like $20,000+.

I have friends and neighbors that took advantage of it. Seems like everyone spent their 'stimmy' on a camper or raising a truck
Who would have thought printing Trillions of US dollars for pandemic relief would circulate more money in the market and lead to inflation?!

Not saying a government shouldn't provide relief during a pandemic, just stating that it sounded obvious to me rather than alarming.

Those 20-somethings are strong proponents of at least half the things that are screwing them over.

The biggest thing robbing people of generational wealth is Social Security that takes 7% of your earnings for your entire life and when you die you have nothing to give to your children.

One of the largest contributors to wage stagnation is immigration policy. Previously a path to higher wages was higher education. Except those Universities (and big business partners) bring in immigrants to perform their high skilled labor and call them "graduate students" to crush middle class wage growth.

Another path to wage growth was previously to start your own small business. Try having a discussion with a group of 20-somethings that with very little money they could buy a pressure washer or other relatively inexpensive equipment and start a small business making $40/hr+. You'll be barraged with responses about how it's crazy because not every person in the country can get a job doing the thing I happened to give an example of, or how starting a business is really hard, or insurance, or licensing requirements in the state that they support.

You're absolutely right that the Boomers have fucked their kids and grandkids. But those grandkids, already in a hole, are shoveling down as fast as they can.
>which puts more than half of my computers and several family members into EOL with respect to windows

Also, feel free to switch you and your family to Linux.
Yeah I feel you; I'm a complete moron too.
Windows 10 has steadily gotten worse.

I booted into Windows for the first time in a while a few days ago. I was reminded that last time I logged out I was forced to install an upgrade.

I was met with a screen forcing me to connect my user account with my Microsoft account. No way out of the process. I didn't know the password to my Microsoft account since I never use it for anything. I couldn't reset the password because my computer was locked and demanding a Microsoft account. I don't have any email access on my phone because it's so hard to secure. Had to shut down the computer and boot into Debian to reset my Microsoft password. Then I booted back into Windows, signed in, went into the control panel and signed out again.

What the actual fuck. Who thought this process was a good idea?
Remember SARS-CoV-1? There will be more. It's like "the big one" earthquake, just a matter of time. But, I suppose we stick our heads in the sand for all sorts of things, so we might ignore this one (again).
I'm not saying it's not due to these stimulus measures, but I think the economics 101 lesson is kind of refuted by a decade of quantitative easing, which did not cause significant consumer price inflation. The specifics of where you point the money spigot matter, it's more subtle than print money == inflation in today's highly complex economy.
The simplest answer is buying TIPS

You are mistaken. People have been (I believe it stopped now everywhere) $600 PER WEEK in addition to unemployment, AND the two stimulus checks of ~$2000 total, one of which you referred to. And on top of that, many people have stopped paying their rent due to the "eviction moratorium" that has left property owners with nothing but likely un-collectable debt.

As someone who has also remained essentially totally unaffected like most or at least a large part of us here probably, I can tell you that there is a whole set of consequences lurking in the shadows that many people are not even been aware of, largely because it has been intentionally obscured in hopes that it will all just go away … or something.

The difference is very noticeable on a less-than-new CPU (my x240 with an i7 4600U for example) when the text input triggers other UI changes. Even on my Ryzen 3600, switching channels in Discord has visible lag, regardless of network activity.

Compare this to any operation in Sublime Text/Merge and the difference is obvious.

The implication is also that more battery power is used for every action (not to mention vastly more memory), which matters for machines of any capability; but these are not latency-related concerns.
