Well we've pretty much been on the verge of a new collapse for just as long but the central banks have been keeping the economy floating by lowering interest and buying bonds. And it's working great. The big question is how long this can go on. The longer we wait the bigger the crash, but what government will wanna be responsible for a crash at all? The thing is that the longer it goes the more apparent it is how fake the current economic system is. It can no longer be considered capitalism any more. A lot of western countries has defaulted into some form of planned economy.

We aren't in a bubble because it turns out that you can't eat dollars, and that payment for something does not result in the goods or services actually being rendered.
> Confluence is used by tens of thousands of organizations and they don't have a very good Sales strategy, that means a lot of business choose them when they could have choose something else. So I can't buy that it is terrible everywhere.

I don't believe the number of users in an enterprise segment buying into a software is at all indicative of the usefulness of a piece of software. Atlassian products are typically sold between people who will not be the primary users of that software.

I have yet to see a SWE missing or desiring an Atlassian product. GitHub and other SaaS products yes but never Atlassian.

I also disagree that evergreen notes aren't suitable for teams. Notes that receive a lot of attention, or are high touch, are by definition evergreen. We need more of these in orgs but most of us don't know how to tend to our companies digital gardens. A huge part of it is wordly digital cruft akin to technical debt that accrues. As it grows in size it compounds the problem of discoverability.

Note-taking is a skill that receives precious little attention, despite being so critical to knowledge work AKA anything SWEs work with daily.
I wanted to add that I noticed this kind of all or nothing (or perfionist, or black and white thinking) all the time in the free software community, the vegan community, as well as the Fairphone community (who have made 4 iterations of a fair smartphone (fair being for environment and workers), as well as 3 iterations on a repairable, modular smartphone). They innovated long term support on smartphones for 3 iterations, and the competition is slowly but surely getting better there as well.

I get the frustrations behind it, but its harmful. Its unfair to advocate for others to not use/buy a device because it doesn't fit their perfectionist specifications, while the project made a substantial effort and should be judged on the incremental improvement instead. More so, when they its a unique project which is far ahead of the competition.

What happened though, with regards of that extra layer, is akin to the glue Nvidia uses for their proprietary driver. Its akin to greenwashing. Its dishonest, and unnecessary. Its a marketing ploy. Yes, we should criticize companies for such behavior. No, it does not mean the entire product (or company) is terrible.

I suppose short memory is good when remembering is painful.

I remember when ETH was about $100. BNB was $40 months before I had enough spare money to enter this market. I have one family member who once held several bitcoins but sold them at $70.
Vancouver is really its own special case because not only is it subject to the price rise/increase that is being seen in the top 20/25 largest North American cities, in general for the US/Canada sized market, but also a massive influx of foreign money looking for a place to park it in reliable solid real estate.

I am a participant in the Vancouver area housing market so I concur with your examples of what prices have risen to.

I know a person in Langley whose single family home on a lot in a very normal early 1980s era subdivision was probably $400k valued ten or twelve years ago, they're now receiving unsolicited offers for 1.5 million.
To the best of my knowledge, it does not make a difference whether you sign in on initial setup or afterward. The difficulties OP was describing, I think, are tied to activating the "Find my Mac" option in iCloud. Once you activate that, you cannot simply log out from iCloud without providing your password. Being able to do so would rather defeat the purpose of "Find my Mac" as a theft prevention mechanism.

So if you don't want the issues described, don't opt into "Find my Mac" (Personally, I'm quite fond of the option, but YMMV).
The comment you're responding to is making a distinction between the body and chassis. The Model Y has a cast chassis, but the blog article says it has "singular front and rear body castings".
So to make that comparable, ddg does 100M, Google 6000M per day. Almost 2% is quite impressive, especially considering the quality of ddg search results. Then again, Google search results aren't much better...
I see. Sorry for my snark. My understanding was that they feel money has a deeply corrupting influence on relationships, and credits the strength of their parents marriage with the fact that they both made a clear effort to avoid taking about money (while still being responsible with it). I don’t think that they are saying that making tax returns public will directly cause more spousal conflict, but it will cause more general corruption of relationships across the board.

I can certainly see that. In my experience, there are very few people who respond appropriately when they learn what someone makes. Rarely is it: “oh, good for them, anyway, moving on …” Most of the time, it’s unhelpful and toxic commentary about whether the person is overpaid/spoiled/poor with money/a sucker or whatever depending on their circumstances. I wish it wasn’t that way but that has been my experience.
Systemd pissed off many people. For me and most users, the transition was fully imperceptible. With the difference that systemctl tools seem to work better for what it does than the many sparse different tools it replaced.

> That puts it at an energy return on energy invested of around 9, which is pretty damn bad.

Is it, though? That sounds pretty awesome, specially as renewables lower/eliminate energy imports thus improve a country's balance of trade.

Also, one aspect of renewables that results in energy dissipation/loss is energy storage. Wind and solar farms generate energy that don't coincide with peaks in demand, thus that production is stored and reintroduced in the grid resulting in a drop of efficiency. However, it would be stupid to argue that losses from, say, restocking the reservoir of a pumped storage hydroelectric plant, specially one which has been retrofitted as an energy reservoir, makes the technology worse than only generating power during periods where demand surpasses supply.
ASN.1 parser generators exist though...
> Actually Bitcoin is down 13.52% in the last 7 days

If a stock market index (e.g., S&P 500, FTSE 100, etc) was doing the same there would be many more headlines and people freaking out.

Some people claim that Bitcoin is "money", or at least a store of value, but I'm not sure I'd want to have any net worth stored in something that is as volatile at Bitcoin has been over the past year:

Housing is also very local. The past decade or two have seen something of a reversal of white flight (and company flight) from a relative handful of cities by a fairly specific college-educated young demographic.

And there's some evidence of a partial reversal of that trend during the pandemic. Of course, it's also quite normal in the US that as people marry, have kids, etc. that they move out to where they have more space and quiet. A question is whether young people will still want to move into cities or if we'll reach some new equilibrium where urban life is less valued again.
Because of how titles and attention spans work.

I've wondered this myself for a long time, before realising that titles like these get most of the attention, enough to rise to your feed.

If this was indeed 'Consider using /events', chances are you'll never see it.
Yes, but it's not clear whether the bubble will get bigger. If you were really old you could also say the same about recessions: better days will come, but will worse days come first?

A thing to remember about financial things is they end up affecting the "real" world. It's not just a matter of things being overpriced, overpricing can actually inflate the fundamental value of things. Indeed this is probably why it happens in the first place: often things get better with investment, and those gains are visible to investors, who end up getting overexcited.
Hmmm.... lets have a look at the tokenomics:

This token exists on Binance Smart Chain, a code fork of Ethereum that uses a Proof Of Stake system run by Binance, one of the largest exchanges in the cryptocurrency industry. It implements the same EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) as Ethereum, and uses BNB (Binance Token) for its gas coin.

We can look and interact with chain, address and contract state with bscscan, analogous to etherscan for Ethereum.
https://www.bscscan.com/token/0xfed320e18caf45f53fb64301b16a...

100M tokens, mostly held by 0x1c8e38a96292134bd38752376fa8f1a5d1edd443

17417 'PirateToken' + 91.17 BNB ($38,400 USD) in PancakeSwap, an AMM (Automated Market Maker). [Approx $2.20 USD / PirateToken]

'Market Cap' of $220M USD.
It’s quite possibly because of omicron speculation and uncertainty related to the virus.
Creator of faker.js pushed an update of colors.js which has an infinite loop
Yeah interest rates will rise and money printer may stop, but there's 7 trillion highly concentrated new monies already in the economy created by quantitative easing since 2008. That money is already there, is highly concentrated (S&P500), doesn't trickle down and is looking for work. Holding it in cash doesn't work, as that's a guaranteed -{inflation}% return on investment per year.
We support low-end devices well (although this is a constant balancing act)! Bevy runs well on iOS currently (and we have WIP Android support ... we're working on re-enabling that asap). Fans spinning is a known issue, but it is generally decoupled from framerates (which tend to be fine). On some machines we are over-engaging cores, even with empty apps that do nothing ... my current theory is that we need to adjust how our task pools are managed.

There are startups like Albedo attempting at 10cm satellite imagery, but apparently 3-4 years away from launching.
Why is a good question. But its usually complex enough to discourage chasing answer which is anywhere near the truth.

The ultimate answer is the Universe, simplified version takes into account only brains of people who upvoted which is also unapproachable.

So we settle for stories. Ones that are believable. Say this comment allows us to participate in the discussion without reading the article, because it has nothing to do with it. You of course open comments first, and there it is, comment about Medium (hey I know something about Medium!), which doesn't touch article - great because I have no idea what's in it.

But most whys have uninterestingly many answers. We would love to just get the "main" reason. But how do you differentiate them? Say I commented because I felt like typing but also because I have Internet access. How do you assign weights to those?

Another story reason - it's tech. We do tech. You can't escape the fact that once you have sophisticated patterns associated with something you perceive them. Ornithologist walk through the park is not the same as mine. And psychologist's social interactions are.. different.

Also, why why? How many top comments are directly related to the article and not general topic in vicinity of it? Is it enough of an outlier to be interesting or is your model wrong?

Why did I type all this.
You are too random to waste any more time on.
technology startups are now completely extinguished. nobody wants to get on this train. I hope the web3 bullshit disappears before it drags too many people behind it.
> s&p returning ~30% last year,

One big thing to remember is that the S&P isn’t the whole economy. The pandemic pushed a ton of money into bigger businesses which are listed on the S&P, cutting into small businesses which aren’t. Your neighborhood restaurants and stores started giving a much higher fraction of their income to companies like UberEats or GrubHub, lots of places stopped taking cash & got Square terminals, Amazon got a ton of orders which people might have picked up locally in years past, etc.

So we have a GDPR breach now as I posted some IP address here :).

They are PI if you also have other data that can tie it to an individual without sending request to his internet provider. That company in the article is mostly tying IP to a country/region.

There is no technical way to get any info about individual from the IP address alone. I also disagree with "which in many cases can be directly tied to an individual" most often it is not tied and if it is then only temporarily and only if and when user logs into your system and you have other information about him that he gave out. With CG NAT and often dynamic IP allocation by providers.

In the end any "outrage" is not substantiated because the way IP addresses are managed you have whois registry that is public and that will tell you which provider has this IP and country/region as well. So they don't do anything that is not already possible.
> Or is it lacking scalability in practice?

Only speaking from my own little perspective in bioinformatics, lack of scalability above all else, both for BNNs and GPs.

Sure, the library support could be better, but that was not the main hurdle, more of a friction.
What could pop the bubble then would be a sharp reversal of this type of policy, like a return to 1980s-level interest rates. But they have zero incentive to go that route, as far as I can see.
> The minute a chassis of any modern vehicle is bent in any way it is an automatic write-off in the insurance industry.

This is true much more often than it was in the past, but it’s certainly not always the case.

I think it will be cool if they found a cost-effective way to make vehicles more modular like body on frame vehicles are, but without the tradeoffs.

There’s not enough detail about the process and materials here, but one of the issues with castings generally is that they sometimes fracture rather than bend.

Anyway, maybe this is a way to bring the cost of new vehicles down for more affordable models in the future.
Confirm link between testing positive for Covid-19 and fatigue and sleep problem
I do use Linux. Even so, if you were required to install (or compile) a package that is a dependency on something you don't explicitly use but do for others, where do you draw the line on their acceptable tradeoffs?
I wouldn't unless it was a significant incentive (order of $100/month), and even then, I might not do it if it wasn't relevant to my life.

And this is predicated on it being zero-maintenance/upkeep for me.
Crypto is never in a bubble per se. It’s just market cycles. BTC returned to $3k after it hit $20k in 2017. Most coins from 2017 no longer exists. The same will happen this cycle. BTC and ETH will likely be around in 4 years, but DAOs, NFTs, Web3? All that shit will die. Its not even that these assets are artificially pumped. It’s real money, and it’s usually retail doing the pumping. Its just that crypto functions on attention. And when the public’s attention isn’t on crypto, everything dies. Probably because a lot of these projects have little to no actual value.
Every expansion comes to an end. The trick to declaring a bubble is specifying when it will burst, or betting on it. Likewise, there will be an earthquake that levels San Francisco, we just don't know when.
The S&P 500 market cap is over $40 trillion. The bitcoin market cap is under $2 trillion. I just looked up this data super quick with Google so corrections are welcome. And yep, I'm editing my comment because apparently that data is for all of crypto - bitcoin is $815 billion according to ycharts.

https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_market_cap

That's still an absurd amount of money, but there is more than an order of magnitude difference just in money, not to mention how almost no parts of the modern economy interact with cryptocurrencies in any way whatsoever.

what prevents us from seeing back any further?
> yet we are in the middle of pandemic, millions get sick every day, inflation 30yr high

> is the economy is broken? should we be expecting a crash/crisis soon?

The question assumes that the real conditions on the ground are going to change the values we assign to stuff, but what if those are no longer meaningfully coupled?

Ford sold about 20% fewer vehicles at the end of 2021 than at the end of 2019, but its stock price is 2.5x what it was then. Ford is producing less actually useful stuff, but we pretend it's more valuable.

What if the economy is "broken" but not in a way which produces a "crash"?
Prices are higher now, but many companies have improved margins; they're raising prices faster than their costs are increasing. Money is moving faster from the population at large to companies/investors. If the rich can keep getting richer by siphoning more out of everyone else, and the rich are the ones that own stock, real estate, invest in startups etc, then a lot of metrics can show those assets as increasing in value even if the median person's income or wealth are declining in real terms.

If the economies experienced by the rich and everyone else are decoupling, then I think the question is less "are we in a bubble" and more "will we enact reforms to decrease wealth and income inequality?" and at least in the US given structural political issues, I think the answer is "No."
Each link in the chain is itself manufactured/created/constructed. If the weld is bad, the link may fail. "every grain boundary" is not formed in the same way each link is. The analogy is solid - actually, it's very good in that it conveys clearly and succinctly the concept the parent was asking about without introducing extraneous concepts. Very much in the flavour of EWD: "The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise."
I would guess the implication is that almost all phones are built in China. So "Chinese cellphones" is a curious term - "Cellphones designed by Chinese firms" and "Cellphones manufactured in China" are wildly different circles in the venn diagram of mobiles.
In other programming environments people do this without issue routinely.
> You can't take one snapshot in time and compare it when the two assets exhibit wildly different volatility characteristics.

I mean, you certainly can if you're taking the "buy and hold" approach, or hodl amongst the cool kids. It simply points out that buy and hold crypto is not guaranteed to be better than something like SPY, and the excess volatility is maybe not a good thing?

The highest possible returns != what investors actually achieve.

Pointing out that at the peak it was up higher than SPY, even though it is no longer up higher, and considering that a good thing seems very odd. It would also only relevant if you're able to know when things are at a top and bottom. Did you sell any bitcoin you owned when up 70% and, if so, have we reached a bottom when it is optimal to buy back in?
Eh, a lot might be explained by how offices have now become part of our houses. Single people/DINK couples now buy single family homes to have more work space. A couple that needed one bedroom now needs 3 if both work remotely.
The problem with this kind of trick for me is that too often, the "better" option does not actually make me feel better (in any sense). It ends up just feeling like effort for the sake of effort.
Your 4th premise is all you need. We are in a pandemic with supply and labor shortages. Even if demand dropped, prices would still be increasing. But demand didn’t drop, increased.

Why do you frame the fed printing money as reckless. If the fed had not intervened, we would likely have had a collapse of demand with scattered inflation, so stagflation or possibly a depression, both of which are harder to deal with than inflation.

Bitcoin appreciation has nothing to do with any of this. It’s trajectory predates the pandemic and is part of a standard cycle for new technologies.

Be careful that you are not assuming a conclusion and then shaping the premises to support and justify.
Where does it discuss any of this? It compares base 10/16/32/64. There’s no mention at all of UUIDs or GUIDs.
