I'm not sure I agree to an outright ban, but some sort of required training before using electrical vehicles (in general, not just on roads) would be a good idea. As others say these are effectively low power motorcycles, not bicycles.

Last week in my city an electric scooter pulled out of a junction - where the light was red - in front of a bus. The bus performed an emergency stop, causing minor injuries that required hospitalization to a number of people onboard. The scooter just continued without stopping. Police are trying to track down the driver, but it seems pretty much impossible (it was privately owned, not rented from an app).

I've also seen countless accidents from people driving at 25km/h across pedestrian crossings, and the car not seeing them before it's too late. Here you are supposed to dismount from vehicles and walk across, but most people do not.

Near my office there is a junction where you can turn left - crossing a lane coming in the other direction - and go up a hill, at the same time the light is green for pedestrians to cross, and cars are supposed to give way. If a scooter is coming along the pavement at full speed, in the same direction as you are travelling before you turned, there is no way you will see it until it's right in front of you and it's too late to stop.
If I remember correctly, I think Krugman's view is less that there won't be sustained inflation pressure (he's speculated it's transitory, but expressed a lot of uncertainty about it), but rather that the Fed tightening to address that pressure won't necessarily lead to a recession (although of course getting the timing right is tricky).

(I remember him discussing it in detail in this [1] debate with Larry Summers, although it's been a while since I watched it).

That view doesn't seem to contradict the original article, which says prices will increase "unless there is a significant boost in productivity so supply can catch up with demand, or policy makers shift to a tighter stance".

On average countries has a trade balance of 0, it means that a country buys as much goods and services as it sells. USA is buying more and more goods and services without selling more, as you can see in that graph, and that has been going on for 50 years now. The correction would be that USA no longer can import goods without paying anything back, stopping all the shipment problems you have now since people no longer want to ship goods to USA. That would be a trillion worth less of raw imports per year according to the current deficit.

If anything the great depression supported this thesis of stocks always going up, and you can safely forget sweating the actual underlying economics. If you held through the crash or bought at the bottom you'd obviously be doing fine. Look at this chart (1). Seem familiar? Looks a lot like the great recession or March 2020 to me: a big plunge that took headlines followed by an unstoppable bull trend, in this case one that kept advancing for decades and decades to today (2).

Keep in mind what is key with this thesis is not some fantastical belief that stocks always go up out of magic. It's the understanding that the actions undertaken by the federal government and major banks that run the global economy will always generate increasing stock prices no matter any local blip or bloop or crash or fall in that moment. Buy the dip and take advantage of the sale price, then enjoy the guaranteed ride upwards supported by every major financial institution and first world government on earth, is what the past 100 years of macroeconomics have taught us.

Your hypothesis of "bullwhip effect" would predict that global inventories are increasing (thus causing a surge in demand). However it doesn't square with all the graphs in the article that show inventories across the world at global lows.

Overall, I believe the Bridgewater story to be more correct.
I’d be interested in seeing how that stuff went for you. I am also worried about a dead Discourse. I am now leaning toward just doing Discord. I am unhappy about it. But I think it’s the right move for the community I manage. I will email you this week if you don’t mind. :).

There’s risk in everything…self-hosted forum software run by an open source project also has a potential of going offline, either because hosting becomes onerous/expensive or some sort of database issue.

You don’t need a CS degree, but I do think a few classes are going to give you a foundation - operating systems, data structures, algorithms, a networks course, and if you’re interested, a compilers course.

Everything else isn’t necessary to be a successful programmer or “software engineer”, even at a FANG or even start up, in my opinion.

I don’t think a computer science curriculum is useless, but not all parts of it are really meant for a job. It’s just theory, and you’ll forget it. I think at least in my area, I’ve consistently applied principles from the courses I listed.

I do think a significant problem is the way that these topics are taught. My data structures and algorithms professor did not teach anything at all. He would ask us to read chapters, and his lectures would regurgitate the written words from the chapter in his words. I don’t think that he’s teaching. The kids who did well on the exams learned it outside the course, or they already knew the material. And I think that’s sort of the biggest problem. I remember sitting in class, and we went over merge sort. He asked the class about runtime complexity, and none of us could answer it except one kid who already knew the material. And the professor looked at the rest of us like we were idiots. In reality, he never actually taught us how to think about runtime complexity or space complexity.

I’m a staff/principal level now at a FAANG company. If I think about what classes or what experiences led me to my current level, my data structures course was probably the most useless. I don’t have a single positive things to say about it.

I passed with an A by memorizing things. The professor didn’t care, and I remember going to office hours and he would be annoyed that I even showed up. Unfortunately the professor is still teaching over a decade later.
Dating apps are in a weird place because they invariably use a subscription model, which means they're incentivized to provide a long-term drip of temporary and mediocre matches rather than finding each user a single good long-term partner. Incentives could be better aligned through a "reverse subscription" model, in which a user pays nothing until the app finds them someone they'd like to date, whereupon they must then "subscribe" as long as that relationship continues.

Not OP but building a community is best on discord because it's an environment that encourages focused discussion with everything being hierarchical in the form of server (guild)->channel category[]->channel[]. If someone is only into the general discussion of an OS project and isn't interested in the talk about maintaining it, they can mute the channel and/or collapse the channel category. IRC fails in this regard since things aren't situated as collections of readable-to-all channels unless every member specifically joins the respective IRC channels for the separate segments of discussion.

The reason Discord is chosen over the likes of Matrix and Telegram is because Discord is the clear winner in network effect. The chances of someone having a Discord account versus having a Matrix account or Telegram are small, so setting up there will severely reduce the amount of people that join just to be part of the discussion; people will join anything, even a phpbb forum, if they have a specific question or request to ask of the maintainers of a OSS project. With that, it makes sense to optimize for building a community that actually wants to chat, and part of that is making it super easy to check in on the discussion. Nothing is easier than just clicking on a different server in your Discord server list.

Discord is chosen over Mattermost and Wire because signing up for either of those is a joke. Wire puts you into a funnel with questions you have to answer when it asks you to "Create a Team" - even worse, the placeholder text is "Work email", they've obviously given up on the community-building/friends & family market segment. Mattermost is similarly trying to capture as many high-paying customers as possible with the homepage being about work, and both "Cloud" and "Self-managed" options having the button say "Start Free Trial". People just want to start their community for free. If they don't already know that it's possible to use these for free without being put into a sales CRM, they're not going to find out from visiting the home pages of these services.

The guide is outdated if you rely on the latest version of OpenSSH. You must update such guides with every new version of OpenSSH.

Adding legacy configuration to your OpenSSH config files can even result in a false sense of security (e.g., if the server/client just skip the legacy part and you think it adds some protection).

Newer options to secure OpenSSH are also missing (e.g., using U2F for 2FA, introduced in OpenSSH 8.2 (Feb 2020).

Sounds like a decent back-pressure to take more control of your calendar to me. I’m the kind of person who is almost always on time and it annoys me to no end when the first 5, 10, 15 minutes of a meeting are spent piddling around or catching late arrivals up.

> at some point USA needs to start to deliver value back to the rest of the world

First they already receive something of value, which is our money.

No one forces them to sell their stuff for our money.

Nor does selling us $1 of goods entitle them to get anything above and beyond $1 of our money. They have already been paid with sufficient value.

Now they must spend that dollar in America somewhere. So they have a choice

a) buy some other good or service from America (trade is balanced)

b) buy some American asset like a bond, share of stock, etc. Then the trade deficit goes up by $1.

The world is choosing to do b). No one is forcing them to. The moment they stop doing b) and start doing a), the trade deficit will be balanced. The moment they sell their existing dollar investments and buy US goods, the trade deficit will reverse. It is their choice, not America's choice.

The input of the U.S. in influencing this choice is merely the setting of interest rates. By setting rates, they determine the overall returns obtained from option b). Thus they can make option b) more attractive by raising rates, and less attractive by lowering rates. But our rates are basically zero already. Does it appear to you that the U.S. is running high interest rates in order to attract foreign investment? No, we don't really take the trade deficit into account when setting rates, we focus on inflation.

Now we could take steps to change the regime and strongly discourage imports. This would be the equivalent of

a) taxing foreign investment, so that there is a wedge between the interest rate obtained by foreigners and our domestic policy rate for fighting inflation. At a high enough tax, the rest of the world will collectively want to pull their money out of America, sell their dollar assets, and then buy American goods to get out from under the tax.

b) Subsidizing domestic production. The problem here is that business will tend to pocket the money. Option A is the more efficient approach.

Option A also attacks our status as the global reserve currency - it's about time we stop being the gold standard for the rest of the world. All of these deficits are the result of us being burdened with reserve currency status, which on the one hand gives us a lot of power to punish other nations, but on the other hand destroys the domestic manufacturing base.

I look forward to the time when we are no longer the world's banker but merely any other nation that needs to run balanced trade. For that to happen, we need to make our assets unappealing to foreign purchasers.
Encrypted chat also allows them to communicate securely. Is it hard to see why encryption is a good thing?

I strapped a no-name Chinese kW hub motor kit and a nice battery on a $100 steel mountain bike I grabbed off Craigslist. I've ridden in downpours, through snow and ice you name it.

More money is spent on marketing products than on sustainability. The top wealthiest companies in the U.S. will shove money into offshore bank accounts and refuse to spend it on the U.S. The largest tech companies provide the least funding in education, and heavily target schools and students to gain significant profit.

Sustainability, like every other issue, is based on socioeconomic ability. Being "Green" is expensive as an individual. The best way we resolve that issue, same as many others, is a mass rewrite of education, funded by private companies. This will not happen so long as there is a surplus of skilled work. We can easily demonstrate the surplus by how little these companies invest into getting skilled workers.
I sympathize with this, but if climate experts are to believed, we’ve stalled to the point where we have perhaps a decade to get emissions under control in order to meet targets, and most countries haven’t even begun to make significant changes. At some point there will be pain. The question is, “do we want a little pain now or a lot of pain down the road?”. And to be clear, “wearing a coat inside during winter” may just constitute “a little pain” compared to the famines and wars that are likely if we fail to get our emissions to zero in time.
I would not recommend attacking infrastructure in China or Russia either if you want to sleep easy at night
I've been working on an interesting concept precisely for this sort of thing. It's pay-to-post and DM authors in a decentralized and unmoderated way (moderation happens via the micropayments).

There are to many powerful people with money tied to crypto currencies for it to end. I would bet there's not one politician (state, or federal) who doesn't have a crypto account.

If the USA ever outlaws it like China; I might not be so disenfranchised over our government.

(I'm all for using crypto to send private messages. It's the money part that I'm on the fence about. Paypal, Credit Cards, etc. should have had strict limits on fees years ago.)
Me and my girlfriend also created a blueprint for a house in Thailand and paid local contractors (basically villagers) to build the house.

Thailand doesn't have, of course, very stringent safety regulations regarding houses. Actually I am not sure if there are any with regards to single family homes in villages. It's probably a free for all as long as the land has the proper usage title.

We build a pretty small, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house. We also have a large kitchen and an office room.

Some photos of our house can be seen here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/tvpPNxZkMWhZXayR2

We'll probably build a new house in the future and apply some of the lessons we learned:

- Ideally we'd build a double stone wall that insulates better against heat in summer and cold in winter.

- As mentioned in the article, it'd be easier to have a shorter / easier path between parked car and kitchen.

- We decided to build a single story house, since it's easier to stay in once you reach old age. But now I realise it might have been nicer to have my office on 2nd floor, perhaps with a large balcony, so we have a good view of the mountains and such. When old, we ideally shouldn't need the office much anyways.

- We really forgot about adding a small storage room to the house. Just a room for things like the vacuum cleaner and such. Currently we keep it in our daughter's bedroom as our daughter sleeps in our bedroom every night anyways.

- We didn't really consider much how to protect the car against the sun. We did have a room to park the car under, but it's not enough cover for our pick-up that we bought after building the house. So we had to add a sail.

- Currently the kitchen is fully detached from our home. Now I think it's better if we'd build a small corridor instead. Since we open and close the door out of the house and into the kitchen many times a day, it's easier for mosquitos to enter the home. My girlfriend wanted a detached kitchen to prevent the smell of cooking food to enter the home. We should have added an extractor hood above the stove instead.

- For the next home we'd probably buy all materials ourselves, so the developer will not be able to receive any markup from buying materials and we can be sure we have use the best materials money can buy.
