Yeah a co processor with fpga on it or even an expansion card I can buy at micro center for 100 bucks would be great!
PHP, Django, Rails, whatever generates HTML, basically. I also slightly prefer Unpoly.com, because it takes whole pages instead of fragments. This means that if JS is disabled the site just keeps working, though with reloads.

Why is it legal, does the gym need those 100 contractors to know my data for it to work? What are those for 100 different accountants? How did gyms or other businesses worked before the internet, did a guy walked to 100 different locations with papers in hand so those "partners" take a quick look?
it's common sense, if you print a bunch of money and production of goods is flat or actually down due to the pandemic, inflation is going to happen. printing money doesn't magically make more houses appear, so the price of houses go up

Where did he ever say anything about a "sworn principle" against ads? All I see is this:

I believed that in addition to being annoying, it was unnecessary—that if for some reason advertising became infeasible, sure, some companies would go out of business, but they'd be replaced by better companies with other business models, and the rest of us would be better off for it.

So basically "ads are annoying and unnecessary". Changing that opinion is not exactly some dramatic change in fundamental principles.
no - the analysis is done on receipts, not just total products sold. They don't care what you bought, they care to know that people who buy diapers also buy wipes, and people who buy soy milk don't buy butter, etc. The analysis of anonymous receipts still yields very interesting and actionable results in aggregate. Your privacy has nothing to do with how a company analyzes its sales data as long as they don't include your identity and drill down into analyzing your receipt alone.
You're performing a sleight of hand with your point about so-called "equity": effectively, you define worse outcomes that happen to women as the results of a lack of equity, and thus worthy political consideration, but worse outcomes that happen to men are just the natural state of the world and thus treating them as political is inappropriate or even misogynistic.

Holding a bunch of other factors constant, men would live the same length of time as women do: monks have comparable lifespans to nuns. Men die earlier because we work longer hours at shittier jobs and are socially punished for asking for help from others and aren't given the space for self care.

As far as men dying earlier on the job because they're choosing to be firefighters instead of kindergarten teachers, you simply ignore the discrimination male teachers face. In your "equity" framework, you'd demand men to just buck up and accept it and even deny it's social as opposed to a series of coincidental discriminations by individuals. The fact that you can't even see how your categories don't map to reality is a key tell for being captured by an ideology, in the social/Gramscian sense.

Lastly, you repeat the "wage gap" myth: women earn less than men because men work more hours than women. The rallying cry used to be "equal pay for equal work," but it seems to now have shifted to "equal pay for less work." (Despite that same excess work being what's killing men and destroying their bodies.)
It would be great to find a habitable planet and have advanced technology to have a hyperjump.
The definition of inflation is nominal changes in prices. This can be caused by supply/demand shocks, which is where the term "transitory" comes from--inflation during a period of economic transition. The alternative to this is persistent inflation, which is largely the result of monetary or fiscal policy, and not due to supply/demand "issues" (well, or you could say, the only market where there is an issue is the currency market)

If we had high persistent inflation, we would expect long term, consistent increases in prices. This is compared to "normal" persistent inflation, which we typically target around 3%. This target is set by the Fed.

If we wanted, we could target 10% inflation on a persistent basis by using monetary policy that was deliberately inflationary.

The argument being made by the government and by the media is that our current inflation (40% for cars, etc) that weighs out to 7.5% is the result of a supply/demand shock, and which must be resolved by working out these short term market inefficiencies/failures.

There are real arguments for monetary inflation (especially wrt asset inflation), but the fact that cars are up 40% and housing vacancy rates are so low and our supply chain is so backed up makes a very tangible case for us being in a transitory period of inflation which can not be dramatically improved by monetary or fiscal policy.
When I hear “it’s transitory” I feel the urge to point out, that while it may be true and inflation will go to zero for all we know - the change in prices is likely to remain.

Here’s something that bothers me most of all and I don’t hear much about: both my water and sewer, and electric utilities - increased prices by nearly 30%. I received notices and accompanying bills a few days ago. This was preceded by garbage pickup company raising rates similarly as well.

In my personal life experience - I’ve not seen utility prices go down, ever.
The worst part about Skylines is that cars don't need parking lots/garages, they just magically disappear at the end of (many? all?) trips.

You can create car-free city with a single mod, the one that allows you to restrict the traffic types from each road segments... it's a giant pain though, cause you have to restrict cars from each and every road segment, if you forget some short path a car will appear out of nowhere and drive on it :)
Surprisingly, it actually mostly works (although puts you in the hole money wise).

Although, unfortunately you have to have roads in front for deliveries, because there's no such thing as deliveries from the back. So, pedestrian-only streets are pretty much impossible if you want a city that actually functions.

> The teachers and administrators don't get a bonus if they're school does well

They don't, but a lot of administrators like showing off scores and stats to their administrator friends from different schools. There definitely is an incentive, even if it's imperfect - optimized for objective stats not subjective learning.
The question wasn't "is this supply/demand driven?", it was "is this transitory or not?". Items like car prices are likely transitory and will return to pre-covid levels once supply chain issues get worked out later this year and production returns to normal.

Hilarious. In the IT department(s) of my Fortune 150, they still do picture-perfect waterfall development, with outsourced teams, writing Java. The application is set in stone when it is signed off in production. Things change? NEW PROJECT. Another 3 YEAR CONTRACT please.

And, yes, as as matter of fact, it IS utterly maddening to be one of the few people who bother to try to say things could be different, and watching nothing change, because so many people's jobs are literally built on their world working this way.
I'm surprised by this claim "Attractive Lifetime Value Low churn". I thought the main reason Peloton was falling out of favor was the recent high churn numbers.
Yup. I consulted for an advertiser for a while. "Never again," said I.

I think of it as a filtering function. Many people go in. But the ones who stay are the ones ok making a living from manipulating folks to do whatever people with money want.
I don't think moral is universal at all - 'You shall not kill' vs cannibal societies and honor killings, monogamy vs polygamy, eating animals vs vegetarianism, slavery vs abolitionism, democracy vs. tribalism, patriarchy vs. equality, mothers' rights vs unborn rights, etc.

It's not only not universal, but it's highly fluid (which it couldn't be if it was universal).
The differentiation is probably, that some data is required for offering a service, that people choose to use, but GA data is not.

Accounting for inflation the licence fee in 2010 was £270 in todays money. So in real terms the BBC has seen a cut of 42%, which is kind of insane.

Took a while until I grasped what Sudafed is because afaik it's not even on the market here and never has been. There was some sort of Pseudoephedrin pill I actually took against hayfever a while ago, but not the standard "clogged nose because cold thing" (please excuse if I described Sudafed poorly, but see above) :)

If the foundation, base of the project is quickly created just for MVP - it should be rewritten. If just some of the small parts were created without care - then throwing them away is not a problem.
I was 28 when I got it (alpha flavor). Resting heart rate rose by ~20 bpm, blood pressure went from <120/<80 to stage 2 hypertension (>140/>90). High enough that it gave me dizzy spells and chest pains. Two years later I've got my blood pressure mostly under control (2L+ water daily, low sodium, high fiber, no NSAIDs) but my pulse is still elevated.

Lungs also took a serious beating, but mostly recovered. I had a bronchoscopy and was the youngest patient they had seen in years. Bronchoscopy showed an absurdly high number of white blood cells in my lungs ~18 months post-covid- evidence of inflammation and extremely reactive tissue.

It likes to make sure you remember it, that's for sure.
> but being the old guy with lots of money is no better than being the old guy with a solid retirement fund if you're just going to sit on the money.

I'm confused - those are the same person.

Most "millionaire next door" types are not people who suddenly had a million dropped into their account.

They're the people who routinely make good choices with their money. That includes putting it in a diversified investment portfolio and taking full advantage of all the legal ways to reduce expenses (of which - retirements accounts are a great option - the tax savings you get filling your 401k compound to quite a nice bit of cash over a 40 year timeline, not even mentioning the principle you contributed).

So in this case - I'm with the guys wife: He's 70 already, what's he really going to be using that truck for? It sure isn't going to be heavy labor (he's 70). Couldn't a smaller more efficient car have done the same job? And it's a 16k truck - so it's either incredibly low trim and lightly used, or nice but heavily used (because 16k is dirt fucking cheap for a decent truck unless it's 10+ years old).

So is she nagging because he spent 16k, or because he spent 16k on something that's not really practical for that point in their life? I'd bet money it's the later.

Not even mentioning - a 70 year old might easily live another 25 years. Blowing all your savings now is a terrible call if you need long term care later in life (you want to talk about expensive, long term care makes that 16k truck look like a match box car)
No, I'm quite right.

It was "upgraded" to $500 after much uproar.
> He found it very interesting, as he had read studies showing that immigrants who lost their native language also lost knowledge they learned before they emigrated.

That example would be a negative aspect of it, but forgetting things in itself can be positive. For example, I wonder if this might also work for trauma and rebuilding a new life after migrating to a different country.
The USA, of course. Don't forget you vote for your government, not for Google's CEO.
My personal theory is much simple: the crowd is a bit aged here.

They may try to rationalize their hate, but I think it's not about reason but people seeing crypto as "against the natural order of things":

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt
This could be said about most tech startups to. Just replace the word cryptocurrency with “tech startup”.

I could start a list but I’m sure you can all come up with a few on your own… wework, Theranos, etc.
From what I've heard, Peloton is spending way more than the retail price of the bikes to make them. There's certainly plenty of successful businesses that have some sort of loss-leader and then make up for it with follow-on products or services (e.g. game consoles and game publishing). However it seems like they were happily riding the huge growth in subscribers and revenue but not really managing costs in a way that it would ever be net positive.
Inflation can be caused by "demand/supply" issues with currency, namely if much more currency is 'printed', currency may become less dear and thus price of goods come up.

Whether you want to apply that to our current situation or not, demand/supply applies to dollars as much as anything else.
The way to square this particular circle is to note that the Russian revolution happened in 1917, and Marx went from being the bitchy jewish writer of an incredibly boring tome of economics called Capital (so boring that many countries didn't even ban it), to being literally the devil.

Consequently, Hegel transitioned from being a popular philosopher, to being, essentially, the devil's foremost philosophical influence.

His citation count and impact factor declined commensurately.
No it doesn't. It clearly could mean that, but it literally just means the person has associated with the company. I don't know why they'd use language that could create that confusion, but it's not straightforward dishonesty.
Find a higher paying job. Inflation screws people who sit tight.
>It's different this time

Good job inventing a strawman and then knocking it down with sarcasm.
Remember when all those tv hosts were practically salivating over the thought of an recession so as to ensure Trump didn't get reelected?

The political machinations you're touching on are a really disgusting reality of our system. People would love to sacrifice the middle and lower class for the sake of having their party in power.

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/456942-bil...

Edit since I'm getting downvoted, this did happen, and it's gross to see, regardless of what political side you support. I don't want a recession to happen even if my preferred party isn't in power. The people at the bottom are the biggest losers when recessions happen, even if most of the users on this board are largely insulated from the fallout.

No, it's not. Using Matomo on my own servers has nothing to do with the way GA etc. operates - it's an equivalent of going through my own Nginx logs and parsing them to generate diagrams and so on. Of course if I share personally identifiable data with a third party, it's a completely different thing - in this case it does not matter if it comes from Matomo or web server logs.

But I agree with your conclusion: what matters is how it's being used. In this case - whether you share/sell it to others or not.*

[*] But not only: it also matters if you take adequate care in protecting personally identifiable information or not.
No one really knows when supply chain issues will be worked out.
Annoying as it may be, a big chunk of responsibility here lies with the data aggregators and the hiring companies. How many times do you have to find out that all ex-Apple employees get the title 'Associate' before you just exclude that from your database? How many times do you disqualify a good candidate because you can't resolve their title at Apple before you realize it isn't a good filter?
Interesting that you mention localStorage.

If the web-page's javascript ONLY stores and processes data stored in the client's localStorage to generate the local page, and sends nothing back to the server, so the web-site operator never sees that data, then is the web-site operator processing that data, or is it only the user-agent's operator ?

The web-site operator certainly wouldn't be a "data controller" since it isn't collecting or storing the data. And it's hard to see how the web-site operator would be a "data processor" in that circumstance.
> People hate bad advertising, but they also hate paying for things.

People hate having to put effort or risk into paying for things. Online payment was ridiculously blasted with friction even before PSD2 hit thanks to all the fraud going on, now it's even worse. Not to mention you can't just go and pay 10-50 cents to view a single online news article behind a paywall - the papers all want your personal data to upsell you, don't offer non-subscription models, and make bailing out of subscriptions ridiculously hard. And the credit card industry wants their cut on top, too, which makes micropayments even more expensive to offer.

How did iTunes, Spotify and Netflix get so big and essentially killed piracy in their respective markets? They offered an easy, risk-free way for consumers to access content they want. Everyone else - particularly news media - hasn't gotten the hint yet.

How to fix it? I think the situation needs to be fixed from two sides:

First is obviously banking. There should absolutely be an international (!) instant banking network - I'm thinking about something like expanding SEPA Instant payments, but specialized on nano-transactions, and correspondingly low fees. Then, a bank issues auth tokens that allow a set budget of micropayments to users; their browsers then upon authentication (e.g. fingerprint or user's password) automatically emit a micropayment transaction - basically, the user visits a paywall site, an OS/browser dialog pops up that asks for confirmation to pay e.g. 10 cents to the New York Times, the user presses their finger on Touch ID, and a second later the NYT has their ten cents and I can read the article.

The other side is content authors themselves. They absolutely need to get rid of the need to know everything about their customer and to lock them in. Provide good content and the people will come.
It's not just the media, too. In academia, the copium may in fact be strongest. Economics programs groupthink toward the same over-idealistic delusions of dynamic stability over a chaotic and unbounded multiplayer game.
>So let’s work to make it better.

No.
It used to be a field dominated by tech (yay!). But increasingly a mix of idiots who just act like they have some inside knowledge and management types have taken over.

About 5 years ago I worked at London Stock Exchange. Our division did transaction reporting and I followed crypto out of interest. I was called to an urgent meeting and told our division was launching a crypto unit to make products on blockchain. What products? I asked. "We don't know, just find something, the division upstairs have one and we don't want to be seen as behind" was the answer after about 60minutes of careful questioning. Queue 101 meetings on crypto, often with expensive external "experts" who didn't understand mining or thought blockchain was bitcoin etc.

The fastest way to turn techies against a techis for it to become "fashionable" and therefore be shoehorned into things it isn't good for used as an excuse to waste money on non-sense by people who know no better but somehow control the decisions and the cash.

I don't think that tracks with how we currently treat kids. We already know how to engineer a better human with high quality childhood nutrition and education and we could go even further with parental support programs, but what you get as a child is already entirely up to where you are born.

An inane comment using bandwagon bias to sell the idea of losing out due to none participation.
I think this sort of comment isn't very helpful. This isn't a theoretical discussion: when people discuss this issue they're asking what we should do about the specific demand/supply issues. The answer to that question depends on the details.

To use a ridiculous example, let's say the problem was a surge in the price of Christmas trees. One solution to the problem is to change central bank policy; a second solution is to do nothing and wait until December 26th. Clearly the price increase is caused by demand/supply issues, but it's possible to think more deeply about what's causing the demand and supply and come up with different prescriptions for how to deal with it.

They didn't even splurge on a five-year registration for the domain. Hopefully auto-renewals don't stop working.
