Indeed, I believe the distribution of inflated prices is a stochastic function wherein elements of the economy are impacted much more quickly, if at the foundation of their business, there are quickly depleting raw costs and expenses. These are usually seen, in comparison to acquisitions, tech, staff; hiring, etc. confoundingly minute. The problem in my opinion is the psyche of the market. Is this market knowledgeable of inflation risks and Causes? Have they experienced inflationary periods? If the answer is no, the propaganda coupled with not really knowing, exacerbates confidence in participating in said economy
Cereal I could buy for $3 and granola bars I could buy for $2 now cost $4.30 and $3.29 respectively. Detergent that was $5 is now $7.50. McDonald's cheeseburgers are $2 on their own. That is the largest jump of inflation I've ever experienced in such a short time.

The contracting company that wins a bid for a contract is the Prime contractor. Often times these companies will then subcontract out some of that work (and sometimes it's even required by the contract to do so) to other contracting companies which would then be the Sub-contractor. That's where the "Prime" and "Sub" lingo in re: to DoD contracting comes form.

I'm not sure that's the worst part.

I predicted about 2x inflation as a best-case outcome a year ago. Worst-case outcome would have been serious structural damage, in terms of business bankruptcies, lost jobs, lost mortgages, etc.

Unless we get into a hyperinflationary cycle, we came out pretty well, economically.

Our public health response, on the other hand, was and continues to be a disaster.
It's not transitory. Prices have increased, unless there is extreme deflation, they aren't going down. Prices will continue to increase. At this rate, feds will have no control.

People were flagged on HN just 6 months ago for mentioning inflation. There was relentless suppression on HN about inflation until media started reversing the story.

The narrative in the media would be have taken a whole another level - scare mongering, etc if it wasn’t the Blue team in the office. I don’t really trust anything but hard numbers from sites such as TradingEconomics or FT.

I have no horse in this race but Blue teams vs Red team is getting really dull and frankly annoying. Everyone seems to be wearing tinted glasses. I have higher standards for media and information that I listen and trust - opinions on HN doesn’t cut the mustard. Usually it’s safe to assume that opposite of the current HN zeitgeist is true (I only joke slightly).
Tuvalu exists as a state because the international community decided to let them. They export coconuts and fishing licenses for hard currency, and there is no way they could muster the money and hardware to defend their patch of the ocean. So if the same institutions that decided to enable the foundation of the republic of Tuvalu decide to protect Tuvualuan territorial waters as a way to give the Tuvaluan diaspora some source of currency with which to start over where they go, then that is what will be,.
Anecdotally, the first time I heard of TGA was in Tomb Raider. The Tomb Raider games of old had a screenshot feature that outputted TGA files of gameplay and were useful for making walk-throughs for other people (you would typically convert them to JPG when sharing on the web).

And I still see BMP files being used even in modern games. Yeah: PNG is better, but BMP has its uses.
Is inflation occuring in other areas as well? EU, Australia, China, etc?
It's not a lack of understanding. There are multiple incredibly strong propaganda machines, both political (R) and business (crypto), pushing this narrative.
This is in clear response to the right of repair movement. That devices should be able to be repaired and schematics to be given to repair centres. Most people don't care, but when repairing is cheaper than a new device the majority of people will support it passively. The only reason it isn't cheaper now is from efforts to reduce repairability.
Also, for those who do care and understand about repairing computers, they'll support that company more.
Oh and on the computer support thing, they'll always be people who'd rather call someone than to try figure out the problem by theirselves. That's never gonna change no matter what happens in the industry.
The link you provided in your previous post is about global prices and uses global commodity data. They are certainly not US-only figures. Correcting this error would likely show you that inflation is real.
I have no idea what you are saying. Also what is "just math" and why can't it be reversed? Inflation can go down, it's not a purely up percentage, you can have negative inflation.

What do you mean by "number of dollars approximately doubles in 2"?
Climate change, and how brittle the JIT-optimized global logistics system we built over the last 50 years is. We can and will need to adjust to a more flexible system to deal with the increased disruption from climate change, but that system will be more expensive and less efficient.

Couple this with the fact that we’re going to eventually have food shortages at least locally in the short-to-medium term, which will destabilize the developing world and raise global food prices as more countries have to import from “bread basket” countries like the US and China and consuming even more global logistics capacity than it does today. This long-term famine is already happening in Central America and is driving more and more migrants north every year.

A legal monopoly is artificial scarcity. However, if the provenance of an item is important to the buyer then scarcity of items from that source would be natural, not artificial—even if goods which are otherwise physically identical down to the atomic scale (including branding) are available from other sellers. That has nothing to do with any monopoly granted by a government. The trademark rules which prohibit using someone else's brand are there to protect buyers from fraud, not to create scarcity. As long as the buyer is fully informed as to the actual origins of the item there shouldn't be any concerns over fraud regardless of how it's been marked. Using someone else's mark in a misleading way to sell your own product would be fraud, though, even in the absence of trademark laws.

Yeah, my inner monologue sometimes feels like I'm driving it, and sometimes I am definitely definitely not driving it. I don't know if it's "my voice" or not, it's just... the the thing in my mind that outputs (silent) language.

And yeah, I can have conversations with the voice. Yeah, it can help to focus moving my thinking forwards on some problem-solving thing. But, alas, often when I'm doing that it just starts saying obviously-silly things, as if it's a Markov model. Sentences that might sound structurally reasonable but that are obviously not what I meant to say/think, and obviously not true.

But it almost never interferes with reading. Reading is too compelling. Even if my thoughts go off in some other direction while reading and I do the "just read a page but absorbed nothing" thing, there's no voice involved then, it feels like a different process.

Perhaps by studying Electronics Engineering (also called Computer Engineering, which is different from Computer Science).

At my university in USA, I remember recruiters from Intel setting up a stall or something to recruit students. It was in the building which mostly has computer science and computer engineering students, so I guess that's who they were looking for.

This was less than 5 years ago.

Hamilton is more similar to the Prosto data processing toolkit which also relies on column operations defined via Python functions:

https://github.com/asavinov/prosto

However, Prosto allows for data processing via column operations in many tables (implemented as pandas data frames) by providing a column-oriented equivalents for joins and groupby (hence it has no joins and no groupbys which are known to be quite difficult and require high expertise).

Prosto also provides Column-SQL which might be simpler and more natural in many use cases.

The whole approach is based on the concept-oriented model of data which makes functions first-class elements of the model as opposed to having only sets in the relational model.

Every time I've visited an Apple store with a problem I've left within 30 mins with either it fixed or a replacement.

> In other words, they're mostly bootlickers.

No that is not what bootlicker means.

> Intel is unnecessarily hostile towards us!

An organization like Intel has extremely complicated strategies and estimations of what they deem "necessary". Whether you personally like it or not, a company has some leeway to do their own thing with the products they sell.

> Those who help the enemy, should also be considered enemies.

And you have purchased no products that contain any parts or other companies that license Intel's IP because that benefits Intel in the form of revenue in any way. What computers, phones, etc do you use, then, that come from companies which don't act in any user hostile ways?
There's virtually no benefit to dedicating so much of your message to checksums with any remotely efficient algorithm. More practically, any CRC >= 32 bits is probably overkill and any CRC > 64 bits is definitely overkill until you get up into gargantuan message sizes.

Tiff is very much not dead. It is likely one of the image formats more widely used today. Terabytes of new tiff images are prodced every hour and distributed by many remote sensing operators.

They have the right to appeal in front of Europe's highest court, the ECJ. That decision is final.
A main cause of inflation sticking around is public perception of inflation existing. I feel like there is solid perception that inflation exists. I would not bet on it being transitory. Even if the underlying cause goes away, it will take longer for the perception to go away because is a self reinforcing phenomenon.
China doesn't have to wait for the islands to submerge to do that. Chinese fishing fleets have violated fishing rules in Ecuadorian waters. The Tuvaluans have no chance when all they have is a few motor dinghies and M-16s.
I think this is a great analogy.

Creating a game of telephone between the stakeholders and the people developing software is often going to impede communication.

The flip side of this is that a lot of technical people lack adequate soft skills to be able to do this requirements gathering well (probably the same can be said about a lot of doctors and what defines a "good" doctor).
I know HN doesn't like it when you criticize the US left but I'm here with you. I didn't buy a single word out of the Biden administration pre-election. The "never Trump" people were so blinded by Trump that they didn't realize the other guy was a worse bought and paid for puppet than Hilary. Hilary at least had a functioning brain and could reign in the Dems. Biden doesn't even know it's Wednesday.
This post and its parent hit the nail on the head. Levels aren't particularly worrisome. High, sure, not scary high. However, you should still be worried. Just not about current prices.

I don't get prioritizing based on 'popularity' contests. To me, 'a blinking cursor' taking up 10% CPU and 50MB RAM doesn't sound like a bug that needs one.

At the beginning of the pandemic lots of prices went down especially rents in major cities and travel.
The amount of illogical metaphors in media is reaching an all time high. States, and majorities of any label (blue in this case) are not something that can be tied to individual entity properties, such as “values”. A group of people can’t have a fixed value they operate on without some type of consensus occurring during the decision phase of the value. This is simply a logical fallacy based on the observation of band wagon’ing of a given group (red). Maybe blue doesn’t practice band wagon biases?

This question I asked when YC company Amplitude went public a little while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28700409

It confirmed that these days if a startup is successful the founder gets almost all of the reward, the first handful of engineers get a few million bucks, and the thousand+ people that follow simply get a regular salary. There are only two real paths to wealth in tech nowadays: start your own thing or work for FAANG.

Agree! Even Apple TVs have user profile switching.
Part of me wants to say that the Covid supply disruptions and mass money printing are not that extraordinary, at least if you look at things on a long enough scale. We've had pandemics, world wars, and social upheavals throughout history, and usually fundamentals assert themselves eventually. In other words, the inflation we're seeing was expected, and eventually the system will return to some sort of normal, as consumers and businesses adjust to price changes and change their behaviors.

On the other hand I can't help but wonder if exponential population growth is now starting to influence things in a way we haven't seen before.

I remember the analogy they used to explain exponential growth in middle school - most have heard something similar - where 1 bacteria is in a jar at 11am, and it's doubling in quantity every minute and will fill up the jar by noon. Students are asked to guess when the jar is half full, and most believe it would be around 11:30. They're shocked to discover that it hits the halfway point at 11:59, and by then it's too late to fix.

Roughly, it took from the time of Columbus arriving to the new world 'till the Civil War to go from a population of a few million Europeans to 30M, and we had a whole continent to expand and extract resources.

We'll increase more than that in just the next 10 years.

What was normal for even lower class Americans historically - single family home, couple kids, fossil-fuel burning car with big, open roads and lots of high-energy consumption may just not be possible anymore for anyone but the wealthy.

And that new normal is being manifested by massively rising home, car, food, etc. costs that won't necessarily cool off, even when the money supply is constrained. There's just too much demand, and not even natural resources to supply it.
