Typically you place the line at hurting someone else. If your own personal choice only affects you then that's a you problem. To go the next step and take freedoms away from people that are able to handle themselves. The two examples you gave directly affect others.

One exception might be children since they aren't developed enough to make logical decisions on their own.

IMO government restrictions should be a last resort, not the first option you consider. Additionally, they tend not to work as well as you might think on many things (e.g. drug war, prohibition)
Yeah, I think it was a mistake for them to just do it. I see what led to that mistake, though. IMO was reasonable to want to have this migration all done within months. They probably should have told people they need to make this change and said if they don't think the program is right for them now that it's changed, they can leave, but that they must comply if they want to remain. It's difficult to run a hands-on open source organization like Apache. It would be hard to lose some members, but better than having a lot of disagreements and having to maintain old organizational processes.
Exactly.
The central menu is a good idea for ultrawide monitors, but forcing grouping seems to go a step backwards, especially if you cannot move the taskbar and you're on said ultrawide monitor.
> I'm not making a statement that the lockdowns should not all have happened. That is what you're inferring from what I've said.

Feel free to insert the words when they did into my original statement. What I am actually inferring from your statements that you believe the first lockdown should not have happened [when it did] due to inability to build herd immunity is that you believe the first lockdown should not have happened when it did because it reduced the ability to build some theoretical degree of herd immunity. I simply noted it was extraordinary that having suggested building this herd immunity for the coming winter was sufficiently important to warrant allowing more days/weeks of exponential spread of a then poorly-understood virus, you followup by saying herd immunity isn't a very well defined concept anyway!

(use any definition of herd immunity you like: when we're we're recording more new infections than this time last year, this ain't it!)

> The statement that more people needed to catch varient-OmegaEpsilon over variant-X to reach immunity is just daft and an argument for the sake of it.

Luckily, I didn't make that statement. I'm not sure quite how you missed the link between vaccinations and COVID being less deadly now (especially having made it yourself in the comment I replied to!) but for the avoidance of doubt I am arguing that the disease is less dangerous now, because the majority of people are vaccinated. But it is also still spreading despite it being 18 months later, many people having had the disease in the intervening time, and nearly all adults having received a vaccination which ceteris paribus greatly reduces their likelihood of transmitting the disease to others [as well as the harm it can do]. Which suggests allowing it to spread earlier last year would have been pretty futile as far as limiting COVID's ability to continue spreading in future months, but would obviously have killed some of the people who are fine catching it now.

Ultimately the extraordinary claim that Lockdown 1 was too early because we did not allow enough people to catch the disease to build up immunity but Lockdown 2 was too late (even though delaying it allowed more people to build up full immunity!) needs more justification than pointing out the lockdowns were not identical. Especially when you've already conceded the initially slower infection rate you observed in areas which had spikes earlier in the year doesn't persist as "other factors" come to dominate (i.e. there wasn't enough natural immunity on a population level to prevent mass infections). And probably still isn't, although the big advantage of being infected this winter rather than last winter or last summer is that you're a lot less likely to die.

Ultimately if you want to convince people your analysis vs the government's epidemiologists' is Galileo vs the geocentrics, you'll have to find a more persuasive evidence for your theory than telling people you've built models and they should read textbooks...
>It's as if we talked about smoking in terms of "lighters are causing addiction", or "holding cylindrical objects in your hands is addictive"

Your example is funny because I think you are saying these things (lighter, generic cylinder) are NOT addictive and focusing on them misses the point- but in my mind, even as a nonsmoker, there IS something primordially satisfying about flicking a lighter and the sound it makes, or holding and rolling a cylinder between my fingers, like a pen or a cigar. That feeling has to be a contributing factor, in my mind.
This is a super odd comment.

The way the fed control interest rates is through it’s buying of federal debt (through “new” dollars). We can borrow cheaper than inflation because the feds just print new dollars.

And during the 30’s the strategy was not “spend our way out” but rather “cut back spending”. Different strategy so not sure why you’re saying we’re doing better - that would imply the same strategy is working better?
I seem to remember the Azure 24 hour limit being in place in 2018, though it wasn't highlighted particularly well and came as a surprise to me. Could well have been removed since.
Wages are rising fastest for low- and middle-income Americans. So they are benefiting from inflationary pressure.

And to be quit honest, the elephant in the room that no one wants to address is that low and middle income people leaving their jobs for better ones are a contributor of the inflation we are seeing. The USA built an economy around cheap goods produced through exploitation both abroad and domestically. And these people are finally realizing that they can do better.

The government cut off the inflow of immigrants who would replace these people in dangerous, low paying factory jobs, like meat packing.

Janet doesn’t seem to have shared-memory multithreading. Each thread runs independently, so a GIL should not be necessary.
No, I didn't say anything about who is “better”, I just said that most of the countries run huge deficits and have huge debts, which is what the list shows.

Whether that debt is at 100% or 50% of the GDP doesn't really matter, both are huge by my definition.
I know MS, thanks for suggestion, its really cool and useful. I was just in some kind of 'I don't know how to find it, dont wanna spend too much time on it' state of mind, but finally did some quick research and found sth I wanted.

I'm not sure about Mac.

Windows audio has never made working with latency or routing sound between programs a goal. There are ways to do it, but isn't in the default. (I forget what it is called, but there is a common standard - starts with an A). For normal users it is good enough, but if you are a musician then it doesn't work well without programs that support the other standard.

Linux does similar things with pipewire/jack. Pipewire is still in the early days so has growing pains. The problem with both is they are not part of the OS so your program needs to be written to handle it (but these days almost all programs use pulseaduio which pipewire implements). This can route any program to any program/output at the OS level, though mixing Jack and pulseaudio APIs is probably a pain. Jack has some nice GUIs for sound routing, I don't know if any exist for this.

The effort is nice to see, but unless they support the jack APIs I think most people will be using jack on freebsd anyway for the near future. On the other hand, this is what Linux should have done all along. Linux has consistently done sound wrong going back to 2003 when they did ALSA instead of fixing OSS.
Watch Captain Kirk Go into Space Live New Shepard Mission – Blue Origin
My somewhat-uneducated opinion has been that this was not due to pandemic relief, but due to long-term inflation pressure that the economy stopped being able to absorb as a result of the pandemic, and/or wasn't being measured (because it was being reflected in real estate, commodities, and securities).
This is such terrible feedback IMO. "You will fail, because others have."

> alienate the US

What is alienating about speaking the truth? Any US company must of necessity be considered to reside and operate under a privacy-hostile regime by an EU company thinking about doing business with them.
Most of the products they’re white labeling aren’t new per se. It doesn’t take a genius to white label juice, soap, or butter. While Amazon is copying everything, including novel products.
They want to drop support for a lot of hardware, and can't figure out how to do that without looking really bad while staying as Windows 10.

That is really the difference between Win 10 and Win 11: Requirement for UEFI, TPM 2.0 and a CPU that does AVX2 and FMA3, and some kind of hardware-assisted virtualization.

UEFI allows them to rewrite their entire bootup codebase with only one target. Literally hundreds of megabytes of sourcecode will be removed from their tree, some of it dating back to the 80's, and replaced with something that is much, much smaller and cleaner.

TPM 2.0 and hardware-assisted virtualization allow them to move the kernel one level up in the privilege hierarchy, while properly verifying it during boot to eliminate entire categories of exploits and providing trusted computing that might actually work this time. (Not entirely positive, but it's a desirable feature for them.)

And having all the cpus that can support the OS also support the good vector instructions greatly raises the baseline against which most software is compiled. This is an often underlooked point: The benchmarks and the most performance sensitive programs might get multiple code paths or versions for different cpus, but by far the most software made for Win 10 still only targets a very low baseline. Even if it's not 32-bit, most programs only target the ancient SSE2 (!) because that's the baseline that's quaranteed to exist if you have a 64-bit cpu, never mind it's over 20 years old now.

There were 3 different responses that read your post similarly, as though the higher levels of obesity among Hispanic and Black people are unrelated to American culture, as though it doesn't matter what the rates of obesity are among people who aren't White.

I suppose the reason why some bristle at your partitioning of American obesity rates into racial groups is that it's unclear that it's particularly relevant. Obesity varies by income, urban/suburban/rural-ness, red state/blue state, and more.

Any of these dimensions could be used to partition America into tranches. Then, throw out the bottom tranches. Then, say that America isn't especially unhealthy.

Imagine person A says: There's an epidemic of gun violence in America.

Person B responds: No. Just ignore the urban gang violence, the mentally ill mass shooters, and the suicides. It turns out that among mentally stable Whites, America isn't that violent.
So skip it? Build your products on and for Linux. Live the dream of never having to wonder if this kind of horseshit is intentional or not?
Probably some "yagni" Scrum master/PO aggressivly cutting corners in the planning phase to save story points, but on the end adding work for removing the feuture from the old code.
so the absolute worst is cash in something like a savings/checking account. You're interest rate will be less than 1/2% so in this case you're losing ~5% per year. You're best bet is low fee index funds that mirror the entire US market. VTSAX through Vanguard is a great choice. Your money now keeps it's purchasing power b/c you no longer own money, you own stocks and when prices go up stocks are just another good that also goes up in price so your dollars now track inflation.
I believe the term for this is ‘percussive maintenance’
I have that issue as well. Something I'm trying is writing down notes on a personal wiki.
There's nothing dubious about this. Companies and individuals frequently have an address in high-profile locations while most of the work gets down elsewhere. You're forgetting that a lot of clients want to tell their clients that they have a NY or SF based team working on such and such. Marketing is, always has been, about image and spin.
> But this doesn't make a difference either because now the man can stop going to the ball blasting session.

It makes a huge difference. Actually it changes everything. With male birth control, there are 4 possible outcomes:

1. Man and woman don't use birth control.
Conception is likely.

2. Man uses birth control. Woman doesn't.
Conception is unlikely.

3. Man doesn't use birth control. Woman does.
Conception is unlikely.

4. Man and woman use birth control.
Chance of conception is astronomically low.

Notice how conception is only likely when both partners want it.

When only women have access to effective birth control, they have a lot more leverage and therefore power:

1. Man has no birth control. Woman doesn't use hers.
Conception is likely.

2. Man has no birth control. Woman uses hers.
Conception is unlikely.

Currently, the choice to have children rests almost entirely on the female. All she needs to do is secretly stop her birth control.

> The main issue is trust, and why are you having unprotected sex with people you don't trust in the first place?

Trust should not be necessary for a matter of this importance. Children should only be born when both partners consent. It's as simple as that.

Also, condoms are not particularly effective at contraception. The statistics assume perfect use and that doesn't happen in reality. Their main purpose is protection against sexually transmitted diseases. That isn't perfect either.
MMT is the climate change denial of economics. No one in the mainstream believes it to be true.
My uncertainty comes from not knowing whether the technicians servicing the machine of the economy actually have the understanding and ability to always be able to fix it.

I don't know if they are working on a diesel motor, complex but fully serviceable, or if they are working on a black box, doing ritualistic tapping and prodding that seems to usually correlate with outputs.
Couldn't it also just be that the hardware manufacturers / OEMs finally managed to successfully arm-twist someone in MSFT into declaring a new version, in order to intentionally obsolete more hardware?

It's hard to do that on the "rolling release" Win10 model, which is actually why I liked it. There was sort of an implication that if it was "the last version of Windows" then I probably would be fine with my current hardware for quite a while.

But major version upgrades have always had the risk of your hardware going obsolete with them.

Just smells like an excuse for forced obsolescence to me.
It probably wouldn't have been as bad if the time before it and time after it is similarly inflated.

If it was a one-off 2T expense, it probably wouldn't be as noticeable as the every growing hockey stick of Keynesian economics (funding expensive mandatory social programs).
I find it interesting the FedEx hasn’t entered this market by purchase someone like Square and competing with Amazon. At this pace, left unchecked, Amazon is going to destroy their business as well.
If you have relatively secure employment and think your employer will raise wages in line with inflation, now is an incredibly good time to get a mortgage.

I'm sorry, but this is just wrong. Natural gas prices are higher than I've ever seen them, only comparable to one very cold winter year. This is not just a return to pre-Covid prices, this is due to government policy. Same with crude oil prices. Just look at the five year chart for NG1:

Not according to our Economic Overlords in the Fed and Treasury who still, even today, believe 100% of the inflation is about supply chain bottle necks, not their irresponsible money printing
It weirds me out that this is a considered a controversial opinion instead of common sense.

Give people money during pandemic, people feel less pressure to work. Less people who want/need to work, wages rise to attract more people. Companies have higher wage bills, they raise prices to compensate. Hey presto, inflation.

There's also a secondary feedback loop of people buying more stuff with their payouts and the increased demand translating into higher prices, but this hit various sectors of the economy really unevenly, where wage inflation seems to be very widespread.
Actually I've had it happen quite a few times, but it's been my own fault every time either for using condoms that were too thin or the wrong size when I first started using condoms or being drunk when putting them on.
And they did not launch that program only proposed it.

Imagine after the Chernobyl disaster somebody insisting that the reactor didn’t melt down, but in fact there was a giant earthquake that opened a fissure in the ground and shot a bunch of radioactive rocks all over the town, and that that then triggered a volcano which shot radioactive dust all over Europe.

At some point: the reactor in the nuclear power plant next to Pripyat is the source and alternative explanations are conspiracy theories.

Hey: maybe a bat carried covid all the way from the Laotian border and just happened to land right next to a lab doing GoF research in bat cornonaviruses. I’m not ruling anything out. But at this point it’s going to take a LOT of evidence to disprove the obvious.
Right.

But they don't have a corporate policy against self-defense.

Of course people keep escalating shoplifting if it's known policy not to engage.
There are many views on this and it is important to form your own opinion. From personal study and conversations with other investors: (1) stocks that correlate with inflation (e.g. some banks and utilities, inflation-adjusted REITs), (2) companies with high-growth prospects (e.g. late-stage yet still privately-held companies) - these are much higher risk, but worth putting a small percentage here over a long time horizon.
Adding trillions to the money supply, of course, has no impact whatsoever?
species classification was one of the most important achievements of that period of biology. It lead to enormous improvements in our understanding. He played the key role in kicking that off and established norms that lasted for centuries and remain visible even today on a regular basis.

Naming a building after a person isn't worship, it's out of respect. of course the person who established this is of consequence.
They are hard and can be imperfect. More importantly, you cannot have a good relationship founded on this kind of thinking:

> People often lie and act irrationally.

If that is your fundamental truth in interacting with your partner(s), your relationships will never really get anywhere. It is just not good advice to tell people to do so, unless you want them to never create meaningful connections with their partners.
The 'I don't even HAVE a TV' trope. It demonstrates a lack of empathy, that because YOU don't have a problem, a significant percentage of the population might not be in a different situation.
I don't know. It's too early to decide. Food science is really hard. You don't have any good measurements, just questionnaires and people lying in them or completely miss-judging their consumption.

There are some exceptions but even then (ward experiments, controlled feeding studies, etc.) you often have very low number os participants and other limitations.
Yes, for now the usage is quite low. I will have to reevaluate if usage picks up.
I am also considering letting users link their own registries(DockerHub, ECR et).
I disagree with this I think. The problem _is_ smartphones and the ability to be constantly stimulated on the internet.

Web2.0 introduced more addicting and stimulating sites and apps, but Web 1.0 still allowed me to kill time (on my computer) searching rudimentary message boards, games, and news sites.

The introduction of smart phones gave us a 24/7 portal to the internet world and facilitated the building of these mechanisms.

This goes far beyond Facebook, IG, Twitter, and the other “big name offenders”. The pervasiveness of texting and email deserve a similar finger pointing.

Smartphones are dopamine machines and they allow us to enter that world at any time. Spotify, email, texting, Facebook, Snapchat, games, slack, hackernews, cnn, etc… ALL become instantly accessible on our smart phones and keep our brains chasing more rewarding stimulus.
Seriously, I’d genuinely like to understand this more.

As the previous comment said, all I see around me are people buying new cars (for MSRP+) and overpriced homes. My home value went up 32%. And yet the market is “ extremely hot”. And no, lower APR won’t make up for 30% base price increase, that math does not add up.

My family gets “extra” $550 for kids (that’s gonna be missing in my next tax credit). Other than that - HOW are so many people affording so much now???
