The issue is that, in many cases, corporations create the problems that their products solve.

Stroads, for instance, only came about after a ton of corporate spending on propaganda and lobbying to increase demand for automobiles.

If you contaminate the water supply of a city in order to create demand for your water purification product, then is the resulting consumer demand your fault or theirs?
The assertion that Frankl is "nonesense" and his ideas were a "schtick". That was the sole content of the comment. If there's a reason to be critical, I want to know why, not be treated to name-calling.
Another aspect of this is that right now inflation is high in the United States relative to other countries. In the worst case scenario, this is what the beginning of a dollar collapse looks like, or at least, a devaluation of the currency.
You are mixing up the price of crude with the price of energy. Crude needs to be refined and transported as gas. That's where the huge spike is coming from.

I finally a cut a relative off after his long slide deeper into extremism culminated in posting Facebook memes demeaning me and people I cared about leading up to the 2016 election. I'm sure he thinks it was out of nowhere because he brushed me off when I asked him to stop saying such cruel and ignorant things.

Said relative was completely unmoved every time I said "that's me. You know me. Why are you saying these things about me? Why are you saying these things about people who matter to me?"

We were strangers long before I realized it. 2016 was just the wakeup call. There's no difference to me between people claiming relatives cut them off out of nowhere "over politics" and estranged parents in estranged parent forums who don't understand why their kids went no contact. They know or were at least told. But they didn't listen.
People always think Ceph is super complicated but I promise you it isn't. I worked at a place where my (3 person) team and I operated a 1 PB Ceph cluster replicated across two datacenters along with literally every other service needed to run a production web app. It was one of the lowest maintenance services we deployed -- Kafka and our RabbitMQ clusters were the things that always gave us trouble.
A sales rep should be able to change his template, especially if it causes angry customers.
I'm curious how much is also being fueled by the current markets. The US economy had a large amount of rocket fuel dumped into it repeatedly. Asset prices surged, but with the increase in business costs, perhaps businesses found customers more willing to pay because of said asset increases, thus enabling this trend to continue because demand still outstrips supply?

In a climate where interest rates are challenging to increase and the market can't be allowed to decline, it feels to someone uninformed like myself that it would naturally be felt instead through inflation.

The question is how high prices will go, what the warning signs of hyper inflation are, and whether we are at risk of that. Economically, rapidly devaluing the dollar seems like it would be a major strategic win for other nations seeking to unseat the dollar as the global reserve currency.

I'd love for someone more educated in these matters to tell me why all of this is wrong.
In my experience of almost a decade in infosec now, no, we're not okay. I don't know any other group where so many people are struggling with burnout or who have developed a drinking habit because of their jobs. Might be selection bias, but this industry eats people alive, more so than others.

This is the wrong mindset, it does not depend on what my needs are. It depends on what you can offer me. My needs are meaningless, maybe I need it to also monitor uptime. Are you going to build that un-needed featured because I need it.

It should be about what you can offer, and I can determine if that fits my needs.
> I'm surprised we don't see Covid mutations that invalidate PCR tests

The people who design the tests know which parts of the sequence are more likely to mutate, so they pick the more conserved parts. Also, most PCR tests check for 3 different parts of the sequence. Which is why Omicron can still be detected even if there is a mutation in one part checked by the test, since the other 2 parts still match (the so called S-gene-dropout).
> opposition is to late term abortions

That's not what's actually happened in legislation though, is it? And there wasn't a huge "late term" abortion problem in the first place, was there? And what are you considering "late term"?
There are only a few titles that mean anything, and normally it isn't what you think.

Legal at a bank only a vice president or higher can make some loan decisions. Thus if you go to a large chain bank to get a mortgage you will talk to a vice president. Their title must be vice president, but they doesn't make a lot of money, and don't have much power other than the ability to give you a mortgage.

Last time I posted the above someone chimed in "yeah, even though all I do is write code all day I'm a vice president because what my code does can only be done by a vice president"

You also see a lot of salesmen who are vice presidents - again they don't have a lot of power in the company, but the places they sell to want to talk to a vice president so sales hands out those titles.
There's a wide spectrum of precautions available. I traveled overseas recently, but I KN95 masked on the plane and tested before departure and on arrival. I felt like I was living a pretty full life in Bora Bora, while also taking steps to ensure the safety of myself and others around me.

Same thing with driving; we have a variety of safety precautions - quite a few of them mandatory - involved that help tilt the cost/benefit balance in our favor.

My understanding is that it’s less about the number of vaccines being effective against omicron than it is about the timeliness of how long it has been since you’ve gotten it.

Given the time since you’ve received your last dose, the amount of circulating antibodies in your system has dropped off. Your immune system still has the systems in place to recognize Covid and produce antibodies against it, but given the different structure of omicron the concern is that your system will be less effective in doing so. Getting a third jab, however, will cause your system to immediately start reproducing antibodies again, which seem to still be effective against the variant.

I am however, not a doctor nor a specialist in this field so anything I’ve written should be independently checked.

I like Solana but it has gone down several times. Not totally an apples to apples comparison to ETH, which I don't think has ever gone down (someone please reply if that is incorrect). ETH did need to be forked, but that's a different story.

The device supports several different systems, not just the various Game Boy iterations.

Compared to original hardware, the promise is that it will have a better screen, a sleep mode, let you play on TV, load ROMs from computer (if you're a developer), etc. Compared to software, the promise is the form factor.
Given that surgical masks stop droplets from spreading as much (especially when you sneeze), and given that bugs spread via droplets, clearly they do something. You may argue on the level of that reduction, or that your right to go out in public without wearing a mask outweighs that reduction, but to just say "masks don't work" is disingenuous.
"Quit your job and do months of work for us for $10k" is not actually a position that anybody in their right mind would bother negotiating with.
The large cloud companies seem dead set against creating any type of hard billing limit. Just let me set a magnitude of charges I can ever expect from the relationship, rather than unconstrained open-ended liability.

We all know it would be straightforward to implement. Even if the time to shut down systems creates some overage that the provider is unwilling to eat (although I can't believe it would cost more than continually refunding these bills), then it would be perfectly fine for "$200 hard limit" to mean start shutting down systems at $100. Just let me limit the damn magnitude!

But since they've all decided it's good business to be sticking users with bullshit bills, we're left to create our own. I've got LLCs on the brain, so I'm wondering if running one's cloud expenditures through an LLC would work.

Besides the paperwork overhead, the biggest worry would be piercing of the corporate veil for being undercapitalized. But I hope it would be hard to argue that a company was undercapitalized because it lacked the ability to pay for unexpected expenses that it did not initiate.

Does anybody know the legal and practical issues with signing up for these cloud providers through an LLC? Even if you're already operating as a company (eg startup), it would still be prudent to sign up through a separate subsidiary. At the very least an extra layer would make for some red tape they'd have to cut through to press the debt.

There is, but there's less if you're using managed services where possible and it's visible in a way which wasn't true for many large organizations. I can go into any cloud provider's console and see a detailed breakdown of what I'm paying and why, and how much of it is over/under-utilized, but getting that same report from an enterprise IT department is usually a project.
We live in Georgia.

For a few years now we've bought a bunch of peaches sometime in the summer and made a bunch of peach jam, put it in pretty little jars, and brought them to holiday gatherings with my family around Philadelphia. It's always a hit.

> Long COVID is a big deal

Long Covid is not a defined term. It comprises everything from "post-hospitalization syndrome" -- which is something that has existed since long before Covid -- to "slight cough for a few weeks". If you're young (under 65) and otherwise healthy, you are highly unlikely to have anything more than a minor illness. Particularly after vaccination.

Here's a paper that might interest you:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

> In this cross-sectional analysis of 26,823 adults from the population-based French CONSTANCES cohort during the COVID-19 pandemic, self-reported COVID-19 infection was associated with most persistent physical symptoms, whereas laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection was associated only with [loss of smell].

In other words, in a large study out of France, the only "long covid symptom" actually correlated with SARS-CoV2 infection was loss of smell. All of the other various symptoms were associated with self-reported illness, but not confirmed illness.

This is a fairly strong argument that "long covid" is at least partly psychosomatic. We'd probably see this more clearly if the various "long covid" studies didn't rely exclusively on self-reporting of symptoms, and mix together all levels of illness.

The Pocket is a unique product here. Analogue spent effort characterizing and reproducing the color and LCD response profile matrices of the target systems. Having 10x integer scaling allows for very detailed sub-pixel simulation. It's 2022 and we're getting sub-pixels in our sub-pixels.

GROUP BY is two things, partitioning and aggregation to a single row within each partition. The relational model doesn't really have a model for partitioning on its own so they're fused, but if they were distinct concepts it might make e.g. analytic window functions more composable and less awkward.

Superdelegates are a matter of internal party organisation. The party still has to go through a real election, whoever's chosen.

I would not trust a surgeon to operate on me unless they have over 65 years of experience. I want them to have operated on patients since 'Nam. You went to a state medical school? Pfft. Go kill some other patient than me.

In all seriousness, your point brings up the idea of where does the responsibility for this immensely difficult task (securing networks) fall? If we could spread out the "required" 15 years of experience into each of the developers, would that have the same effect? Building software with security baked in would reduce the need for so much work after the fact.
> would penalise those who live far away from their families, and they are many.

Not reducing air travel (yet clamping other dirty activities) would penalise those who happen to live close to family.
This is the version where you take the risk, pay the price, and/or reap the rewards. When we talk about casualties, there is another story for people who didn't take the risk, did not reap any rewards, but paid the price anyway. When we talk about externalizing the costs, those are the people meant to pay them.

So, excuse me, but when someone talks about inevitable casualties while enthusiastically pushing against regulations, it means that they do not intend to be the casualty and are looking for ways to push someone else under the bus.

Progress is something wonderful, but it should prove itself before us, not we in front of it.
There are a lot of software-emulation based consoles in this form factor that provide significantly more features than the Analogue Pocket. If authenticity is not your goal, I have to agree with parent that there is little reason to prefer FPGA in this space.
You can easily buy an Anbernic device for less than one hundred dollars if you just want portable emulation, so it's not the form factor. It's specifically for people who are hung up on software emulation vs. FPGA-based emulation.
Which they pay for, many times over.

What's the upside? I can imagine:

Are you under the false impression that the majority of people taking loans for college only utilize government provided ones? I don't believe that to be true, everyone I know (including myself) had to utilize private providers such as Navient (SallieMae) or others to cover college tuition. That is where the insane interest rates come from and aren't reflected in your data of 3-5% rates.

Them being 'private' loans is a bit misleading as well, as they are technically backed by the government, as far as even bankruptcy will not remove them. Navient is just the servicer & middleman to collect the profits. It's more complicated than this of course but that seems to be the gist of it.
The way these things are usually talked about is "QALYs" - quality adjusted life years, which count time spent with debilitating chronic conditions less. If lost QALYs / average lifespan > 1 million, then characterizing it as "millions of people dying from pollution" is probably not unfair.

It's worth noting however that this kind of accountancy can lead to mathematical conclusions that make us uncomfortable - e.g. it is better to murder a child than to cause everyone in the world to wake up 1 second late (3 times better in fact) since the total lost time to everyone exceeds the expected lifespan of the child.
Air travel for politicians to attend climate change conferences illustrate the problem for me.

How many video game developers rarely play video games? I bet most game devs don't count gaming amongst their defining interests.

There seems to be a majority swath of humans who get hooked on unproductive hobbies. Drugs, partying, social media, video games. I'm talking HOOKED, dreams framed by the TikTok UI, taking work off to watch a Counterstrike tournament, weeks of back-to-back hangovers.

I mean, I've been there. I too hear the lull of chemical dissociation.

What I'm wondering is, what happens as that lullaby gets louder and brighter and more attractive, in sync with people working less and less as automation forms a mechanical sheen on all economic activity?

I'll just toss this one I caught as I wrote that: You think the opioid epidemic is bad? Is it better or worse for us that our addictions can't annihilate us in an instant? How many people are in their rooms right now, alone, entangled in expensive parasocial relationships and expensive video game habits?

What if people aren't stealing and robbing shit for drugs anymore, but are doing it to donate to their favorite streamer, or buy the new Supreme hoodie or buy a PS5?
I'll just say that my issue with it is that I see people especially politicians and celebrities get on my case about climate change and global warming and then see that they are jetting around all over the world to go to their conferences and appearances emitting more carbon emissions in a year than I will in my entire life and I start to question why I should pay a higher price on gas through taxes and have my energy limited and monitored when it is clear I am a much smaller part of the problem here compared to those that are advocating those ideas.
