Well as someone who I think most would consider a leftist (I oppose any restrictions on abortion. I oppose intellectual property and much more.), I've tried to offer people on the right of me alternative proposals which should be starting points to find compromise, as I never assume what I propose is the compromise but rather an avenue to one, and just have it thrown back at me. It's really one of those hard situations when you honestly reach out to someone across the table and their answer is: no we want it this way and nothing else.
Hacker News etiquette is to take the strongest form of people's arguments. There's a lot of space between "ban then from cellphones" and "give them completely unfettered, unmonitored access to everything". Your comments jump between one and the other with no in between.
There were many websites that used just HTML, CSS and some JS and none of the "proprietary VBScript or ActiveX (or Flash)" that would not work on anything except IE6.

Most competing browsers chose to implement IE6 rendering (border box model, quirksmode etc), bug-by-bug. To at least have some of those "built for ie6 only" websites functioning and looking OKish.

But when those quirks would break the website on anything but IE6, many webmasters (is that still a function-title in 2021?) would not care, or not get budget to fix it: "96% of our users use IE6, why spend time for those 4%?". (which also begs the question: what are those 4% doing on a website that doesn't work at all for them? Shouldn't that be 100%/0%)
> I am unaware of any 3rd-party software you could install to those early phones.

There were lots on nokia, in part by necessity given how dreary S60 was (I remember having to install third party software in order to have an alarm, as well as opera mini because the built-in browser was unusable on edge).

But even “legit sites” looked like warez, not just because it was 2005 but also because there was basically no ecosystem so this was mostly lone devs doing their thing on the sly, and of course we had little graphical taste (as demonstrated by wielding nokias). And the install / update experience as I noted above was quite awful.

Without stock appreciation, I don't see that in Dublin.

Like, a friend recently got a FAANG offer for senior IC, which netted out at about 150k total compensation, which is far off from 200k.

You'd be looking at Staff (or years of stock appreciation) to hit 200k TC, which is a lot lower than one would expect in the US.

> what I need is for a terminal command that can recognize the meta fields from a log record and put them on a line separated from the main message

Isn't this the exact use-case of structured logging?

Log events have

{timestamp, log level, log category, string message, ...arbitrary key/value pairs}

Usually serializing each message as a single json line in a file.

Since it's all on one line you can still use grep, but then since it's machine-readable you can pipe the grep to anything that can parse json. Vanilla python3 works and tends to be a part of most ops toolkits. Such tooling can split out the fields onto other lines etc or in a more reader-friendly format.
I don't think we have seen any sign of that yet. Car prices are inflated because production is only at, say, 12M cars not 17M cars, and there's not much reason to decide that future production of cars should be lower than it historically has been. It's not a huge amount of new money flowing into the system, it's just a bunch of mismanagement of supply chains.

(Well, I want car production to be far lower for political reasons, but I'd rather change city structure to accomplish that, not artificially limit car production because of supply chain effects. That's a completer separate issue.)

Additionally, we are flushing out a lot of low-productivity employers, and bringing far more people into the workforce. This is a recipe for a far stronger economy in the future, with happier and wealthier people. I'm optimistic of the course of the future.
I've always been a bit perplexed by the claim of not having an inner monologue, but after reading the replies to your comment I wonder if I'm closer to not having an inner monologue than having one. I thought it was about not being able to summon an inner voice at all. Regardless, it's fascinating to read peoples descriptions and see that it lies on a spectrum.

I definitely experience it when reading & writing carefully and sometimes in deep thought with conscious effort, but never minute to minute and definitely not compulsively. I'd describe my minute to minute like you, more abstract and intuitive. Yet at the same time I'm very introspective, it just doesn't happen with an inner monologue.

edit: after reading the study, I think I fall into the not having an internal monologue. Fascinating.
I think sticking to raw materials is the answer

The periodic chart doesn't lie. Each and every element on that has a price.

If there is sand in the cogwheel that transforms raw materials into products that is surely of social nature and once you are in that realm, then all predictions and analysis capability are off. You'd be better off throwing darts in a pitch black room
It's incredible. It's the same strategy that some politicians use in Argentina: they find any kind of thing to blame for inflation, except for monetary policy.

Americans, please don't imitate Argentina, keep a healthy economy.

Good point. FYI, sugar in the gas tank is a myth. The sugar will cause basically no harm at all, I've witnessed it attempted.
This uses VLF RF, but there was another interesting thing I have read about long ago called "earth mode" or "conduction mode" maybe. You put two conductors in the ground some distance apart (10s or hundreds of feet) and inject the signal into the ground. The signal causes a current in the ground which will cause voltage differentials that can be picked up miles away with a similar receiver. I believe it is also low bandwidth, but I often wonder if you could create a mesh network of these. Also would the FCC actually be able to regulate this since it is not actually a radio wave?

Good point. Around here there's ecosystem of tools, the mower, leaf blower, hedger, trimmer, weed-eater, etc.

Investing in all of those tools using gasoline just seems antiquated. But you're probably right, the individual footprint is tiny in the grand scheme of things.
I think it’s different - there was an old post by an early FB employee who has no ability to visualize images after a head injury and has to adapt as a result for that.

Thinking of images is also different than thinking of words (since all of us speak the language).

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but that I suspect its more likely a lack of introspection - I’d need to be persuaded empirically somehow and don’t know how to test it.
That's a bit silly as web browsers are already using dirty texts and the system compositor to reduce power usage and they have to deal with arbitrary HTML, while flutter apps mostly(?) use standard widgets which they control. Though I think the response was less "it's unfixable" and more "it will be an enormous amount of work so it isn't happening any time soon."
I could join a community of rich people throwing paper money onto fires too. But I wouldn't want to, therefore no value.
Inflation can also happen when a country’s productivity falls compared to other competing countries.
…but they said they schedule the 2 hours for whenever you please, so the only thing being limited on here is it being an honest “2 hour project” rather than a “10 hour project that we expect you to lie about.” You still get to do it whenever you please.

Ancient Olympia: Common Grounds
I recall many threads of where a product/service/startup got shut down / closed its doors. It's ironic because sometimes it's my first time hearing about that product/service/startup, and I often ask: 'Why didn't I know about that earlier?'. Turns out it's just as well I didn't hear of it before because they're no longer sustainable or operational in the long run. This is why I only concern myself with 'stayups' or products and services that you know instinctively (and through research) they are in it for the long haul.

This is really awesome. Imagine getting paid to think one day...
Aren't more products being bought than ever despite the supposed supply chain issue? If there is more stuff and still not enough then shouldn't we assume that there is too much money? It looks like standard inflation by a devaluing of the dollar to me.
Goats or sheep. Goats are not so good if you have trees you value, so a couple/3 sheep? Plus you'll get to harvest some wool.

OK, so I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek... Another answer is: Get rid of the lawn. Sheet mulch and plant food-producing trees for a food-forest.

In the Netherlands it's about 20% YoY. And this is starting to become true all throughout the country even though it started in urban areas. I really feel bad for people who aren't homeowners yet, because becoming one right now is getting damn near impossible.
Interesting that the user has to think of specific letters to spell out a word. I guess the 26 distinct English letters are much easier to parse and separate than the untold thousands of words, especially when those words could be used in different contexts.

I bet the next step wouldn't be to even parse words to make a sentence. It seems to me the next low hanging fruit would be to enable this machine to parse common ideas. I wonder how complex it would be to translate full sentences like "Good Morning", "I gotta take a dump", or "I'm hungry". It doesn't seem like it would be that much of a leap, since the user already has to imagine the idea of different letters. Admittedly I have no idea how different those concepts are, or how they would express themselves in the brain to be interpreted by the machine.
When there are supply-demand imbalances, e.g., people in France having to wait three months to get a new boiler versus 24-48 hours before the pandemic[a], the price of newly installed boilers in France tends to increase sharply. For a more general answer, see:

Evidence? This is economics we're talking about. I think we can make some guesses, but the system is too complex to make reliable predictions.

A single advancement in worker automation could easily provide enough productivity gains to offset wage growth. A single plant disease or new political treaty could massively effect food and or energy costs. The system is chaotic.
Does you inner monologue have an accent? Can you recognize a definite tone to it? I heard someone mentioning "I loved your accent, so I'll imagine you narrating my thoughts from now on" and the idea of your thoughts being pronounced in your mind with accents sounded completely alien to me.
Now you've moved into speculation at this point.
That's odd. Can you silence the voice? Do you exert influence over it?

And not only is there more output, it's more valuable per unit.

Higher winds are much more stable. Both in having less completely still days, and having the median be much closer to the maximum. A wind turbine that is built big enough starts having a large part of it outbut be effectively baseload instead of intermittent, and as more renewables are built out, baseload capacity is increasingly more valuable than intermittent.
Students will deal with it for the eduation.

I'm aware of a far less prestigious school where when they ran out of dorms they converted an abandoned super 8 motel for 3 years and the building was absolutely filthy and in terrible shape (it needed a new roof) and it was still full of students.
Peak HN comment :D
I wonder what happens to the housing market. In the early 80's people literally swapped mortgages because getting a new mortgage came with rates >15%. Even if rates go back up to only 7.5% what happens to housing prices? It also seems like there may be a massive bubble of hedging in leveraged real estate by big institutional investors. Something like 25% of all purchases are by investors right now. What happens when regular people (who need a loan) can't afford the higher interest rates?
> The causes of inflation are fairly straightforward. It's a shortage of labor, international supply chain issues, and an unbalanced labor market due to a demand profile that changed rapidly over the pandemic (essentially a huge shift to goods over services).

So the trillions printed out of thin air have nothing to do with the inflation currently experienced?
Western democracies over the last ~30 years have seen their traditional labor parties shift from class based differentiation to a more race/gender/educational/cultural diversity based differentiation.

Whether this was supply or demand driven as we have had a massive influx of highly educated high status workers moving back to coastal cities or not.. is unclear.

So now we have high income, highly educated, high cost of living area people driving the narrative of the traditional labor parties. In the US there is something of a coalition holding between the highly educated/income whites & African Americans in general. The Democrats had banked on a "demographics is destiny" as the country becomes more diverse. This bet has clearly not been paying off, as Latin American immigrants follow the path of Italian American immigrants - fast assimilation and self-identification as "white". This should have been predictable given that they are generally - more family oriented, religious and conservative than the average American. You can see this in the 2016 -> 2020 voter share in which Latin American voters actually net shifted towards Trump.

A good encapsulation of the current mood for me was during NYC mayor primaries. A (white female, very politically active) friend told my (non-white) wife that she was racist for voting for the (black male) candidate, because he was NOT going to defund the police. This was an otherwise serious mid-40s adult person. On prodding about recent crime stats showing increases in homicide, anti-asian hate crimes and shootings in the city, said (very politically active) friend admitted she "didn't read local news" and "wasn't aware".

And this is what you would consider an "intra party" squabble, as everyone in the conversation votes blue.. it was just a matter of the the intensity of the hue.

Here are some names we give to radio bands. These names are somewhat dated, as even “high” frequency is pretty low.

Low Frequency (LF) (30 kHz to 300 kHz)

Medium Frequency (MF) (300 kHz to 3 MHz)

High Frequency (HF) (3 MHz to 30 MHz)

Very High Frequency (VHF) (30 to 300 MHz)

Ultra High Frequency (UHF) (300 MHz to 3 GHz)

HF is used by amateur radio operators to communicate around the world, and has sufficient bandwidth to carry voice or low speed data (300 bits per second). Commercial airliners use HF over the oceans too. Probably some military stuff too.

Most other radios on the planet is operating on a higher frequency, in VHF/UHF or higher.

As for power, 100 watts is enough to send an HF signal around the globe. Commercial AM radio stations might operate up to 50,000 watts, so a megawatt is a lot more.
What is surprising?

All governments in the world are printing money. When the money supply increases a lot, the purchasing power is deminished for sure
I wonder how many people in charge or purchasing actually consider the name, unconsciously or not. It could be called Thready McThreadface for all I care.
I think it is still a radio wave, but propagated through soil and moisture rather than air.
I've mentioned before [1] but these prices still don't seem that serious. Most prices have still not beat their highs made in 2008-2014 (crude oil, global energy price, eggs, milk, sugar, rice, chicken, pork chops). Ground beef is an outlier, however. And US price per kwh is back at its peak, though it declined in these October numbers to be below... 2014 numbers again. [2]

So while the climb up is bad, the prices themselves aren't even unprecedented. In lieu of an extraordinary global supply chain crisis, these numbers actually seem impressively low. We cocked up everything for a year and prices finally shot back to... prices from 7 years ago?

If fed policy has any effect at all, I think we owe them one for being so cool-headed and non-drastic these past two years. They're doing much better than politicians or the media, at least.

Food prices does not mean much when houses go for a few hundred thousand more within a couple years, or daycare prices increase from $15k/year to $16k to $17k or health insurance deductibles go from $3k to $5k to $7k.

For a young family that is interested in buying a house, food/gas does not even register.
May be you're like me? I have a lot of thoughts, I just don't use language internally to express them. It makes it hard sometimes to articulate what I'm thinking to another human being, but thinking through language, and especially in SPOKEN language seems so excruciatingly slow and ineffective I'm quite glad I don't have to do it in order to think.
Some on the political left oppose the detached single family home. Condemning "suburban sprawl" filled with "McMansions" built by "greedy developers" is the rhetoric used to stop the rif raff from buying homes that they want.
I don't know, last year my oil change was around forty bucks, this year it's been closer to a hundred. I think we're just seeing the tip of the spear and the shaft is going to show up pretty soon, though I hope you are right and we don't get the shaft.

These aren't prices we haven't seen before. Electronics, sure, but there's a pretty good non-general-inflationary explanation for that. This (still) ain't the 70s.
> "Prevailing wage" doesn't mean equal wages because there's no such thing - there's a payscale for every position, and it is different in every company. And H1-B visa holders invariably get the lower end of the payscale (often the lowest).

I went through this process, and when they calculated the prevailing wage for my position, it was a number, not a range. It is calculated as the average of wages for all similar positions, in the same place of employment, and there is a minimum of $60,000, as far as I understand, at least for H-1B visas.

If a company were to pay less to visa holders than to their peers, it would be committing fraud.

> I have no idea where you got that idea from. He married a US citizen, and became one himself after a few years.

Essentially, because applying for US citizenship takes several years. Green card through marriage may take up to 3 years, and US citizenship takes at least another 5, so that may make around 8 years. I assumed your friend came to the US as a professional with a H-1B visa, and went down the full process, from H-1B, to green card, to citizenship, which, for an Indian national, may take even decades.

Point is, if this person was making around the same amount of money as recently arrived visa holders, even after several years in the US, and only started receiving better wages with a change in citizenship status, there must be something else to it. Either way, it seems strange that a H-1B holder would stay in a position for many years, without no effective wage increases at all.

> As soon as he became a US citizen, he got an offer from an indian IT consultancy firm with a pay hike of $75,000 based on his multi-national experience / expertise and, ofcourse, the fact that he was a US citizen.

Sadly, that is the modus operandi of certain IT consultancy firms, especially Indian ones.

It may be fraud. It is not like this has not happened before[1][2]. But this does not mean that the system rules are broken, it may mean that the enforcement of such rules is inadequate.

To clarify, earning $75,000 more than people in a similar position is not fraud per se, but people making less than the mandatory average is. And given that H-1B visa holders must make at least $60,000, I'm not capable of understanding how this company calculates prevailing wages without committing blatant fraud.

Public market rent data shows rents up ~17% YTD, while CPI shows ~3%.

https://www.apartmentlist.com/research/national-rent-data

There's a huge lag to reflect certain data in the headline numbers. Owners equivalent rent measurement technique, only sampling 1/6 of housing stock per month and so on lead to about a 12 month lag in cpi.

Rents alone will fuel high baseline inflation for at least a year or two, once the value starts getting priced in.

You are right that we'll likely see some decline from cars normalizing, but not enough to offset rents and more broad based pressures. Baseline inflation will likely remain well above the Feds 2% target
I'm on the opposite side of that spectrum. I have such a strong internal dialogue that I talk to myself vocally when doing stuff. Not always, but very often.
So enterprise is the next target for Apple?
Even roll your own apps to your employees, bypassing the AppStore review?

After all that hard work, sell it at a few cents per chip.
Well, I believe it is. The original argument was that it is a very large price increase of small number of not that widely consumed goods causing the numbers to look that bad.
