Not even as difficult as that. As the prices rise with a regular periodicity, people stock up more goods with expectation that in future their money will buy them less. Which causes more price increases and corresponding increase in stocking.

Obviously 6% won't do that but at higher levels its the complex dynamics driving inflation than good old supply demand balance. And don't think that exports will solve hyper inflation because at that point other countries will also expect devaluation in currency which becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Again not applicable to dollar and USA for the moment but at higher inflation levels anything is possible.
The middle versions seem to be the best ones somehow. Sire, the cooperative multitasking model of Mac OS 9 was a bit, crappy, but it was really reliable if you went to work at it from a task-oriented perspective. Same for Windows 2000, more stable than Windows XP for some reason.

For Mac OS X it was 10.3 to 10.5 that was the (seemingly) most stable.

I think the scope and size of hardware, software and interaction has just gone so large that it's not commercially viable anymore to test or QA the entire system to the same standard. It's also why service managers came along, we just assume that everything breaks and hope restarting it makes it go away...
My car died, needing a new engine, so I was forced to get one in October. I usually only buy used, but prices are so inflated it didn't seem worth the premium. Used 2017-2020 Toyota Rav4's with 30-60k miles were the same price as a new 2021 model, if you could get one.

I knew it was bad, but I was shocked of how bad it was. I went to multiple mega dealerships with 500-1000 cars that were all spoken for. Most had 0 new cars available.

No. The Wikipedia article makes it sound that way, but a lot of pork is in subsidies to specific industries, mandatory purchasing, research initiatives, or similar.

For example, if the military must buy 50,000 of something it doesn't need from some military contractor located in some senator's district, that's a canonical example of pork.

The line here is subtle. The exact same purchase could be made through a competitive bidding process.

If I'm doing space research, that's probably good. If I mandate that NASA do a specific research project through a specific vendor, that's probably pork.

In most cases, pork isn't obvious. The bill won't say "NASA will give $50 million to Acme Inc," but rather "NASA will purchase $50 million worth of sheet metal from a veteran-owned company with at least 7 years experience in aluminum-matrix composite manufacturing, ..." and by the time you include all the requirements, what do you know, there's only one business which fits the bill.
> The reason it's so good is due to the lack of clouds most times, and the extreme dryness of the air as the article pointed out.

In addition to those, it's very good for stargazing because of the "smoothness" of the air. The best places to stargaze are high elevation areas that have direct prominence, and therefore direct airflow, from bodies of water. It's also why Hawaii is such a stellar (pun intended?) place for huge telescopes.
It would serve as a neutral platform on which clients could be built though.

All of these companies may have a functional business and can stick around, but they are not worth the valuation present in their stock. Even Tesla is not worth anywhere near $1T. In the end you have to eventually earn enough to support the price (once all the Fed support goes away from the market) but none of these companies will ever make enough revenue or profit.

For now unreality keeps the market high.

The $2.4B loss is a write-down of their ownership in Didi which has nothing to do with the basic economics of Uber's operations.
For some bizarre reason, management has not yet assigned a task to their programmer underlings to automated themselves out of existence. I can't imagine why.

I don't think it's a matter of trust. Management sees their job as setting priorities and resource allocation. So they shoehorn that into everything they touch. They require estimates, so they can divide impact by effort and then assign the highest ratios first, without regard to necessity or dependencies or technical debt.
> there is no way they could muster the money and hardware to defend their patch of the ocean.

You also cannot defend a patch of ocean without some land, at least with current technology. War ships require quite a bit of time in dry dock for fueling, refit, and rearmament. And that's before we consider the subpar fighting capability that crews without shore leave would provide.

No, they'd still need to buy or borrow some land, even if they had the hardware to run a moderate navy.
If inflation is supply-side (e.g. oil runs out, a ship gets stuck in Suez, etc) then workers lose.

If it's demand-side, then their wages should rise up together with inflation so they don't win or lose (except for whatever savings they have and whatever time it takes for wages to adjust).
I don't use my M1 device enough to determine if they crash regularly, but I can definitely say that every release after Mojave has been a regression in stability. Me and my boyfriend at the time both upgraded to Catalina and the issues just wouldn't stop piling up. After 2 or 3 completely untraceable crashes, we both restored to Mojave and forgot about updates altogether. I might give Monterey a try soon, but between the space-wasting design language and ARM growing pains, I think I'll be contented with my trusty x86 Linux desktop for quite a few more years.

Hyperinflation just shouldn’t be entering into this discussion. It’s not happening, it’s not close to happening.

Now, im not trying to downplay the fact that elevated inflation can cause issues, but it so so challenging to keep that nuance when every discussion devolves into “we are on the precipice of +1,000% inflation” when the inflation rate went from 1 to 6.
> making it higway-legal

this is the crux imo; an experienced engineer can hack together a compelling MVP of almost anything technical in a reasonable amount of time, but getting that same code in line with regulatory frameworks and the expectations of the end user is what separates a weekend script from a scalable business
Depends on how big of an army you have. Plenty of states get recognition not because other states want to, but because they have sufficient ability to defend their borders.

Yeah, note taking apps are like mushrooms these days and it sometimes feels like everyone is doing it.

I think the reason you're seeing all the development here is because how *humans* manage *knowledge at scale* is fundamentally an unsolved problem (this is why people keep building new tools).

My friends give me grief about doing cloud computing for over half a decade to work on a local-first note-taking app. There is some overlap though - it is impossible to keep even a small subset of AWS (which now has over 200+ services) in one's head. The only way to use it effectively is externalizing the relevant details in a way that I, as a human, can retrieve. In many ways, trying to externalize my mental model of AWS was a great proving ground for many of the fundamental ideas around structure used in Dendron
If your kids are intelligent enough to bypass locks... give it up. Seriously.

Better, prepare them for the worst of what they will experience on the Internet: violence, pornography, abuse of all kind, and guide them in their use of the Internet. Place yourself as the person your kids can come for help instead of the person they have to be afraid of. That is an incredibly easy and common thing for groomers to exploit.
I don't know off the top of my head how much of industry runs 24/7 and how much is just during the day, but it's possible that "solar power only works during the day" and "factories operate during the day when their workers are awake and at work" will both sort of work out together.
Yep, to some degree at least. Even some more modern systems after that had some similar problems, where there was less or no direct interaction anymore and userspace and kernelspace was the 'best' boundary there was to offer. But the same problems still persisted within the space if the other one goes down.

Imagine having a fully functional app but you still can't do anything because the service 'on the other side' doesn't work. It's better because it won't crash the entire system, but it's the same because you still can't do the work you intended to do...

Wage numbers come out with the monthly jobs report. Only one month this year did wages rise higher than inflation, IIRC.

So wages are rising, but slower than inflation, e.g. people getting poorer. And of course, many stay in the same job and don't get a raise, or get a paltry raise.

Many seniors living off of fixed income investments which are yielding lower than ever. And so on...

Workers are only better off if wage is strongly above inflation. I do see people cheering on wage gains, even though they've been persistently below inflation, which is a bit of a headscratcher.

It seems the public perception is finally starting to bubble up though, rather than the headline narratives.

I think that is probably naive, they can't raise rates for many reasons including the fact that it would basically immediately blow up significant parts of the economy that are only enabled/possible due to rock bottom rates

"So open discussion is not accepted, changes to the plan are not accepted because they're volunteers and can't accomodate everybody, merge requests are not ideal because they don't have time to review them."

Please avoid this hyperbole. If you actually look, there are plenty of examples of changes being accepted. But you have to play ball with them, like I said you can't just throw code over the wall and you can't just barge in and start trying to pick a fight with someone about the design.

"There's a lot of volunteers in the open source world, yet discussion and ideas flow more easily elsewhere."

If you have advice from those projects on how to improve process to make it easier to do it then please mention that. But otherwise I really don't know what you mean, I have had issues and merge requests ignored/declined in basically every open source project I've ever contributed to.
The ScreenTime feature for family members on iOS is an absolute car-crash.

summary:

Platform economy can create huge profits if you can lock in the markets. Create moat that keeps competition away.

Uber, DoorDash have none of that.

Uber's global brand recognition can help with tourists and business travelers who just want familiar, but they are small fraction of the market Uber needs to lock in to justify their market cap. Uber is not like Amazon with returns to scale.
I'm not against pork spending, especially in cases like this where we know how strategically important it is to be a world leader in semiconductors. Critics will point out correctly though, that the government isn't historically good at picking winners and losers, and that a lot of this money is paid to companies who donate heavily to a candidate, so they look a lot like political favors
The problem for developers is "their way" can suddenly change without warning. There has always been anecdotes here and there about developers gettin app updates rejected for features that had been in their app for years and wasn't even the focus of the update. Sometimes they get resolved (seems the larger the twitter mob you can attract the better your chances - what a way to run a business) and sometimes they don't.

At what point do the scales of the value proposition tip to the point that more and more devs just write iOS off? How many times has that already happened that we just don't know about? I know of at least a dozen really cool apps I would have loved to have had but the devs didn't even bother because of the uncertainty of Apple's uneven application of their "rules".

bah. The cure is worse than the disease at this point.

And if that's all you want to use Dendron for (eg. a markdown editor with better integration to vscode and git), then you can.

But if you want to expand further (eg. you now have a few hundred or few thousand notes), Dendron adds additional syntax and structure to make that manageable.
There have been some supply shocks in the past year, but I'm increasingly convinced that the disaster rhetoric around inflation is more of a political argument more than an economic one. Personally I suspect it has more to do with justifying austerity in order to curb labor's demand for more money than anything else.

Median household income has gone up. It's currently the highest it's ever been in real terms. Households are better off today then they have ever been in their day-to-day affordability of goods.

You also can't cherry-pick a handful of things that have gone up a lot and then assume that it applies to everything. Some things have gone up in price, others haven't. Inflation is sitting at about 6%, which after a decade+ of sub-2% might seem like such a shock, but it isn't really a big deal.

I think selling drugs and weapons is still good business? You need to read history a bit more. I'm not saying Capitalism didn't advance technology or make our life better, but again, as I said they are just by-products and we should not treat it as guaranteed.
I agree. Plus if you look at 90 day credit card delinquency’s and credit card balances they’re going in the opposite direction. Delinquency’s are going down right now, but inflation can change this quickly. It’s been said that the lower delinquency rate is solely due to stimulus payments.

No. It's the software, stupid. (this is pretty much the tagline for 15+ years now with those exact literal words) And even then, people buy complete products from the company so in a way it's not really an 'either' company, they are far too vertically integrated. There is supply chain, semiconductor manufacturing and design, software engineering, hardware engineering, consumer products, consumer services, there is stuff like AppleCare, ABM, ASM, Developer interaction, events... the list goes on.

The hardware is only there to enable the software in this concept, not the other way around. This is also why if the UX conditions are met, more powerful/newer/shinier hardware was often not used since it doesn't improve any of the software enablement.

You can't sell a good UX with bad software on good hardware. You can sell a good UX with good software on anything.

In terms of the science, land-based and space-based GW detectors are complementary, as they detect GW waves at very different frequencies. One doesn't replace the other.

It is extremely hard to reach the sun or orbits much lower than the earth, lot harder than reaching say Mars.

Parker Solar probe launched in 2018 will take 7 years and multiple gravity assits to slow down enough to get close orbit to the sun.

It is also why BepiColombo will take 6-7 years to reach mercury orbit with similar steep delta-v costs.

Here is a delta V map [1] for the solar system. It would be easier to launch our trash to escape the solar system rather than land it in the sun.

Either way we generate nuclear waste in the millions of pounds per year , launch costs with everything spaceX is doing is nowhere cheap enough to even get the waste in significant quantities to even LEO.

It's a bill from Intel and friends, but I don't think it's pork. Chip manufacturing (like food, energy, etc.) is a national security issue.

Specialization is more efficient in the short term. Free market pushes chip manufacturing to be a monopoly or duopoly. That's not resilient, though.

I don't mind my tax dollars subsidizing these industries remaining in the US, though. Indeed, I think it's good policy to have all major regions of the world be self-sustaining (e.g. not France, but the EU as a whole).
