The "shock" is actually a bit more subtle than that:

> Here's 10 years of the relationship between our consumption of goods and our consumption of services. It explains a lot about why we're experiencing bottlenecks and disruptions. We were simply not prepared for the massive uptick in goods consumption.

When people couldn't go out and do stuff (services) they started buying stuff (goods), and the supply chain couldn't handle the sudden surge… so now we have supply problems.

The supply problems are often 'subtle' as well. For example, a few months ago softwood lumber in the US hit a peak of $1733/lot, and now it's down to 'only' about $600—which is still 50% higher than it historically ever was before.

However there is a 'glut' in the supply chain because current inventories can't be shipped because… there is a shortage of truss plates:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_connector_plate

Floor trusses can't be built, so even though you've built the first floor walls you can't go to the second because the floor framing—built using trusses—can't be laid down, so houses can't be finished. Further details about the current (Nov 2021) lumber situation on the most recent Odd Lots podcast:

Similarly even if you built most of the house, you can't legally occupy it unless there's running water—and there's a shortage of faucets:

So the demand and supply shocks dovetail 'nicely'.

Worth checking out Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast as they've done a number of episodes on the supply chain over the last year. There are ones specifically focusing on (US) ports, rail roads, and trucking.
Your comment reminds me of a video clip I saw where someone dialed 911 and proceeded to "order a pizza," thus giving them her address. She got lucky and the dispatcher was fairly quick to figure it out and didn't hang up on her.

I lent out an MX518 to a neighbor when I was in middle school and we were catching up a few years ago (maybe 15 years after the fact) and he brought up that the mouse, which I had completely forgotten about, finally died.

Not just that. Why do you need to share such private information for every service out there? It's pure madness. It is, and will be used for tracking you online everywhere.
From a cursory glance at I-5 traffic outside my window, besides for ~5 weeks in 2020, it does not seem like the economy was shut down.
it's 2021... People should just switch to Opus. The lower latency should wrap up the supply/demand buffering problems nicely.
The articles does talk about lack of productivity and "not enough labor". Just my guess that that would could be likely causing bottlenecks as there isn't enough staff/equipment/ machinery to unload everything in time.

I think the difference is that people dislike cyclists because they like the drive, and cyclists make driving extremely dangerous. I can basically autopilot down any road with exclusive auto and pedestrian traffic, but introduce a cyclist and I have to pay extreme attention to avoid causing a tragedy. I totally support cyclists right to cycle, but I’m just providing some commentary on why cyclists as a whole are painted in a bad light. It’s not really about the behavior of cyclists.
Let’s see who will be proven right. I am fully committed to saving the climate etc but in my mind NFTs have absolutely nothing to do with that. NFTs are real and however we prevent climate change will not prevent the continued existence and rise of NFTs. I’m saying that with 0 skin in the NFT game in terms of investment. So take that as you will. Just don’t be such a dick on the internet. It’s not conducive to you or anyone learning anything and that’s what we’re all here for. Thanks.
Not all the “dead” one are drawn to show and highlight their wing geometry and colors. Iconic ones, yes, typically, but some are drawn in flight, feeding, and wings fanned out but not unnaturally.

Now, iconic ones, yes, typically. But it’s the same for other exemplary of iconic models. When did you last see a toilet door with a natural picture of a person rather than an iconic outline?

The same could be said of lots of things.

When we have a concert T-shirt of a performer you more often than not get a more of less straight on shot. Or political candidates. You get their headshot not a profile pic or a pic of the backs of their heads.

Why should depictions of butterflies depart from a pose that exposes more of their recognizable and appreciated features?

What about flower photography? Why don’t they use shriveled up wilted flowers for Valentine’s Day? Why do they look for perfect specimens?

Sure, I get it, “ha ha, look you idiots that’s not the natural pose of butterflies, you guys and gals have been getting fooled and I’m not”

I was reading about what they were planning to do and I was a bit incredulous.

Specifically they want to build a sodium cooled fast breeder reactor. This is a challenging technology that the French and Japanese failed with. (For one thing, liquid sodium catches fire on contact with air or water -- Russians and Americans say fires happen in industrial facilities all the time, you just put them out.)

It's not impossible these problems could be solved, and solving them could be worth it (today's "nuclear waste" could fuel our civilization for a century with fast reactors) but they have kept their cards close to their chest and not given any indication they're taking the problems seriously.
No, it hasn’t. As money spirals deeply into inflation, crypto holdings and equities will have to be liquidated so that people have money to live off of. This will only feed into the inflation more. Investments haven’t absorbed inflation. They’ve delayed it slightly.
Redis and memcached didn't exist in that timeframe.

More than displaced, the tsunami killed 20,000 people.

It was also the biggest Earthquake in 1000+ years of recorded Japanese history, and hit a small area where it could produce a tsunami overflowing the tsunami walls.

In the 99.99% likely world where this didn't happen, we'd have a much healthier nuclear power situation. But now we're in this world...
Came here to comment the design as well. Love to cinally see deviation from the stripe template and even more happy to see elements from 90s ui design reintroduced. One can even tell where the buttons are!
The Ego blower I have is 615 cfm, which is at the higher end compared to most gas powered blowers (450-650cfm).

However, the battery life isn't great, you get maybe 15 mins on a charge of those smaller 2ah batteries (but I have several along with a bigger 4ah mower battery). Perfectly fine for my yard, but not practical for a landscaper.

I’ve switched fields a couple times. Figure out how to provide value in the field you want to be in and start practicing it. Once you figure out what that is start looking for opportunities (job openings, contractors needed, etc). It’s really hard to find people that know what they’re doing; so if you know how to do something and can show it, it won’t matter that you don’t have formal education.
Also doable with _any_ Linux workstation. It's remarkable when Linux works better with hardware than Windows. I have an old HP Laser Jet 1012 for which Windows no longer has drivers, but Linux does, and as an added bonus it simply shows up on other Linux machines and on iOS devices as well - no set up required at all. Ironically, Windows is the most painful OS to set up to work with a remote CUPS printer.

I think what confused me, and probably most other people is that they didn't realize that domestic violence situations can often turn into kidnapping / hostage situations, which is what the hand signal is actually designed for, and what it was used for in this case as well.
There are lots of complaints here.

But it is refreshing to have a scientist talking about what she, exactly like her colleagues, doesn't know, but in her case hopes to. She leads with pointing out that everything she is saying could be wrong, so complaining about that amounts to petty griping.

To my knowledge, there is nothing in physics that says a future event cannot be precognized with perfect reliability, even if the person might act differently as a consequence of the knowledge. Not getting on a plane you are sure will crash is probably a desirable outcome, even if you can't convince anybody else.

A mechanism for such communication is a tough nut. Continuity of the individual--in one future, you die, another, you don't--seems to offer a sort of channel, but physics doesn't care whether you are alive or dead. However, if in one scenario your molecules get incinerated and scattered, in the other they continue moving in what we might call "you" formation, that is a physically objective change. If your cells can bounce signals off your past and future selves, and enounter a discontinuity, that could affect your reproductive fitness, so be fodder for evolution.

Life is not bound by our preconceptions of how physics ought to work; life explores the space of actual reality, and has often found ways to exploit phenomena we have not noticed, never mind understood. So, what she does might look a lot like woo, but that is not the same thing as actually being woo, and I am glad she is thinking about it, and telling us.

You are not obliged to be interested.
There was an article the other week from Canada about their CPI (I can't find it right now). Their CPI calculation was using prices that were half those available in stores (butter was one product, there are large variations in prices for some primary products in Canada because of producer's co-operatives particularly in dairy), and used sizes for some products that haven't existed for decades.

CPI calculations are very tricky. Deflation in telecoms, for example, has been very understated because how do you compare a data plan with a voice plan (in the UK, they had to adjust two decades of CPI numbers because of this calculation error). Imo, we place far too much reliance on CPI which is, after all, only one measure of inflation. Everyone seems to believe that prices are rising faster than CPI, and they would probably be right (I am in the UK, food prices in Canada particularly are...out of this world...particularly for meat, which seems to cost at least 3x the price here).
"That's a nice ideal but it's just not realistic in most existing built up areas. There's literally not enough space"

There was not enough space for cars, we tore down entire neighbourhoods and blasted through bedrock to create highways.

There is not enough money to fund a moon program or fix climate change, but when time came to bail out the banks, if you stacked that money as 1-dollar bills it would reach the moon.

There is not enough money to Fusion research, but our fossil fuel and airline subsidies in one year are greater that all-time fusion research budget.

Priorities.
> This is, for both scientific and political reasons, a very difficult area to work in, and I don’t believe the evidence is in to either support or rebut that claim.

The default position should be a heavy bias towards believing the genetic explanation is at least somewhat correct. Within group heritability may not directly imply between group heritability, but it makes it very likely. The left is too intellectually dishonest to admit that.

jlawson is correct, it's been basically game over for the strong environmentalist position since Lasker et al 2019.

I moved from C# to the NodeJs/JS/React world a while ago, when React was fairly new as well.

I like JS as a language and the enormous progress thats been made in the JS ecosystem from the wild west days back then. But I have to say my most productive and enjoyable dev experience was with VS, C#, ReSharper etc.

Magical intellisense and real refactoring across millions of LOCs and multiple assemblies, all kinds of tools, visual designers, powerful 3rd party toolkits (anyone remember Infragistics), amazing docs. And of course now it'd be much better I'm sure.

That depends on road conditions and layout, typical traffic, weather, general health (need decent balance, eyesight, hearing, ability to ride over potholes, enough toughness that a spill isn't life-threatening)...

I could go for "often doable".
It seems like there isn’t enough data backing up these claims, or at least not in convenient form. Where are the graphs of things like container throughput at major ports? Compare with the pandemic where it’s much easier to understand whether things are getting better or worse.

Also, economic growth depends on the ability to remove bottlenecks and improve productivity. Yes, there is always another bottleneck. But idea that removing one bottleneck is pointless because there will be another one seems like giving up on growth?

In particular, it seems unlikely that there is no way to build more housing.
I don't trust the first release or the first disclosure. I expect Robinhood in the next few days to disclose that the exposure was wider and more serious than initially thought.

It also seems that they don't encrypt social security numbers and other sensitive data; I imagine if they did they would have mentioned it.

Their track record isn't that of a company to be trusted.

Demand growth is what we want. Our economy has been largely demand-limited for a while. Demand growth boosts GDP growth.

Corporations are sitting on huge piles of cash, so they're not investment-limited. Any labor market tightness raises wages, which have been mostly stagnant for a long time (until very recently). Wage growth is also good.

If wage growth squeezes profits, then that's also good from a wealth inequality point of view.
It can still be secretly conveyed, unless those bad actors bind the victims' hands or somehow watch them every second.
I've run into issues of programming culture many times.

I once joined a team that had tremendous amounts of copied code. I got a bit fed up with fixing the same issues across multiple files, so I created a tool to flag files with copied code in the codebase.

This would have made me a hero at my previous company. The encouraged you to have a low programmer ego, and be very concerned with quality. Teams were often weirdly eager to try anything that could plausibly improve code. You could get promoted by making another hoop for programmers to jump through.

But the new company had programmers with rockstar egos, and thought following rules were for losers. They valued how quickly they could get code from a programmer's editor into production, and organized everything around that metric. Introducing an automated code quality tool, that from their perspective, slowed things down and pointlessly blamed some people as lazy? That didn't make me popular.

Programming culture is really an underrated aspect of the job. I'm not remotely as good as Dan, but I've also had a pretty varied career. I think many programmers, even if they job hop, spend their whole careers in the same sort of company. So they don't even know what else might be possible.
I was sort of expecting him to return to his roots of designing small appliances and other things around the house. There's a dearth of good design in the sea of cheap disposable garbage that's available now. I find it unfortunate that he chose to design something so vacuous and unnecessary. I get that he'd like to rub shoulders with the literal royalty though.
I'm not sure if there are any issues on Google Fi, since they're an MVNO, so identical to any other cellular network.

For example, in the bevy[0] discord alone, there's a remarkable about of advice, plugin recommendations, and technical help that's essentially just lost in noise.

Because the obvious response to insufficient supply is to make more stuff, thereby growing the overall real economy. Yes, it's a lagging function. But it's frankly insane to insist that today's transient supply chain issues mean that people need to be paid less than a living wage in general...

It's similar to the old argument over slavery. Yes, removing slavery causes large realignments in the economic system. But overall removing slavery grows the economy, both by encouraging automation of jobs people don't want to do and by increasing the number of people buying stuff and performing more productive labor. Add in additional points about recognizing basic human dignity as needed.

The real issue parent and many sibling comments are running into has answers all the way down in individual liberty and sovereignty. Technology companies have pulled out the rug from under us to deliver the illusion of convenience and safety. Benjamin Franklin seems to be ever relevant: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

But we're here now, and as much as I might fantasize I can't make myself believe that anyone would willingly accept a significant regression on the convenience front. The only way out that I see is to reconstitute sovereignty in a modern form.

We need "something" and I think we're getting close. Web3, dapps, and cryptocurrency are all aiming in that direction, and even if some instances are a miss I think we'll hit it eventually.
This. In many ways .NET Framework is to .NET Core/6 as Python 2 is to Python 3. The new stuff is all phenomenal, truly. But there are mountains of code running right now, responsible for billions of dollars of economy, still being maintained and added to, that will never be ported to the new. One wonders how our young industry of software development will evolve into the future, how many COBOLs are being created as we speak. Old cars, planes, bridges, buildings and roads eventually stop working and break down, but code is code. Or is it?
There is actually a parallel effect of QE that no-one really wrote about: it causes a shortage of risk-free assets, and makes it harder for savers to fund liabilities.

I can believe that QE had a positive portfolio effect in the early 2010s. But no-one really acknowledged the downsides (it took them most of the 2010s to work out why QE "worked").

So we have the amazing situation where you will get funding for a project, but only if you promise to lose money. Investment into real assets is extremely low, chemicals and O&G are trading on mid-single digit P/E ratios, and are furiously trying to return capital...whilst we have massive shortages...it is a very unusual situation. And, imo, the cause of this is the shortage of risk-free assets (because creating this shortage, due partly to regulatory restrictions, did not mean that investors suddenly started making investments into the real economy...most couldn't...they just had to buy more "risk-free" assets from corporates who already had too much money or PE funds that were playing the capital cycle...ofc, no central banker understands that some institutions are limited, the textbook doesn't teach that, they don't understand it).
