Yeah that's your answer right there. American management, at least those who go to business school, like how can I put it fairly to the people I know who've studied business...They just fucking hate paying wages. It's a huge business school teaching to treat wages and taxes as counterproductive. Are you really going to propose American management likes paying taxes? The fair thing to say is they fucking hate paying taxes. Those words carry the real emphasis of the negative emotion, I'm not trying to be pejorative, that's just how they actually feel about that matter. I've seen businesses decline quite profitable opportunities because they'd produce too much in taxes in the process, from some double taxation effect.

So then, the MBA just has to hate the factory. After all, that was where everybody used to get their wage.
Disclaimer: I'm a Cloudflare employee, but not on a team related to Tunnel.

I use Cloudflare Tunnel for all of my self-hosted applications (e.g. https://piperswe.me). Configuring it can be a bit of a pain (generating secrets, setting up systemd service, etc.), but its integration with the rest of the Cloudflare CDN products is worth it IMO.
In theory by allowing private entities to run these businesses you're also losing control. If you need absolute control then what you're asking for is a command economy - I lean toward socialism but that's a bridge too far for me.

Some supply chain instability is the result of allowing healthy economic activity especially when the modern goods we're talking about are immensely complex and require incredible specialization to reasonably manufacture.
Section 8 isn't restricted to just subsidized housing developments[1]. It can also be used as a subsidy to any private market rental as well, where the landlord is paid the subsidy from the Section 8 program and the tenant is responsible for any rental costs above that (if any).

That said, it's a hassle for landlords. They have a separate contract and commitments with the local housing authority that disburses the subsidy, in addition to the lease with the tenant. And are subject to annual home inspections by that housing authority. And most importantly in a booming market, there are legal caps to how much a tenant's annual income can be dedicated to housing and utilities. Between the income limits to qualify for section 8 and the cap on income that can go to housing, the amount that an individual can actually spend on top of the subsidy is fairly limited and may not bridge the gap to going-rates for private rentals in an area. Between that and the stigma attached to the quality of tenants using section 8, it's common for private landlords in a good market with a standard or better unit to pass on a section 8 applicant and hold out for another tenant with fewer strings attached to the transaction.

Publix in Seattle is a perfect example.

A developer bought them out, them combined every 2-3 SROs to make a (still small) luxury apartment.

I do not begrudge the developer. If you were to propose the opposite (taking an existing set of luxury apartments, and subdivide them into more rent paying units), it would probably be more profitable, but you would never get the plans approved.
Bloat is one thing, and good content design another.

The NHS, and gov.uk, are some of the largest employers of UX/content designers in the UK, and recently it shows. A lot of it is considered the gold standard for content design; extremely clear, well presented information, where the most commonly relevant information is easily identified and straightforward.

Less bloat is, I guess, a side effect of good content design, rather than less bloat being the reason they're good sites.

Of course, it's easier to do good content design when there isn't any commercialism involved. As soon as you have to introduce ads, sponsors, paid-for content and unnecessary padding/pages/waffle in the name of views and clicks, you can say goodbye to good content design and low bloat.

I don't miss WAP as a technology but I also definitely miss WAP and WAP-like sites on mobile. So many "lite" sites have gone full JavaScript bloat and are lite only in name. It's is not difficult to add some minimal CSS for branding and just spit out static HTML.

Ironically, I think the above statement is irrational.

Why does being a dictator automatically make you more irrational? Absolute power has no direct causal bearing on human intelligence. It does not make you more irrational or more rational.

There are plenty of examples of good kings, bad kings, good emperors and bad emperors throughout history both for ancient china and plenty of other civilizations. Modern China, despite all the negative press, has done plenty of rational things in order to get toe to toe with the US as both a military and economic rival.

I think the negative connotation associated with the word dictator paints anyone labeled with it in a biased light. Not saying anything bad or good about pooh bear in general. Whatever that man is, him being a dictator is not a causal origin of his current character.

My experience with this no-cash signs was only on owner operated shops.

Section 8 pays close to market rate, otherwise the program wouldn't get anywhere. My section 8 unit is tad cheaper than what I could get otherwise. But my rents are always lower than market anyway.

The tradeoff is that the government always pays on time, and there is some motivation for tenants to behave (e.g., noise, nuisance, property upkeep) in order to keep their section 8 voucher in good standing.
> How is this not the case for Latvia and Lithuania (not to mention Estonia), which are both NATO members directly bordering Russia, and in fact separating them from their Kaliningrad exclave?

Latvia et al are not slavic. They don't share the language, they don't share the culture, and never were "Russia proper". Their success is easy to write off the same way americans argue that socialized healthcare would never work in the US due to cultural differences.

Belarus and Ukraine, in contrast, are very similar. Their threat to Putin's power is not physical, but cultural - if they became successful as free countries, they would set a blueprint for Russia (without Putin) to follow.

The discussion about NATO and nuclear weapons is a distraction. Putin is not playing a grand game, that's intellectualizing him too much. He is a paranoid thug who is afraid of getting overthrown and executed like Gaddafi. It's a very real possibility and almost happened to Lukashenko during the recent wave of protests.
Russia would never nuke Ukraine because of the reaction from the West. Using existing radioactive materials wouldn't provoke the same reaction.

I'm not saying Russia will do anything here, but the two are very different from a geopolitical standpoint.

At least on the AMDGPU side, I've seen mentions on Phoronix of various game (detected based on binary name usually) specific compatibility hacks that force on/off various behaviors and other minor tweaks.

Given the size of the "driver" files on Windows these days, my GUESS is that they might ship literal patches that replace portions of the GPU code in some (popular) games.

There's also the issue of games developed with explicit support for the architecture of a given GPU (usually Nvidia), where algorithmic approaches bias towards the strengths of one type of product.

The United States has all kinds of tariff and other subsidies for key industries. Foreign airlines and shipping companies are literally blocked from providing domestic US services.

These are all anti-consumer and bad public policy.
> The solution is real free markets.

A ludicrous suggestion.

The "free market" optimizes for one single thing: Profit.

Providing housing for homeless people is not profitable, and so a free market would never do it.

> Constant government intervention in the housing market, the stock market, education, healthcare, and everything else under the sun has led us to where we are today.

Health care is in the same boat. If a poor person gets cancer, the free market would gladly let them die. They wouldn't be able to pay for treatment.

Education is similar. If the government didn't provide schools, a considerable portion of children would go uneducated.
This comment has to be higher up. This pricing is like a sword over the neck and drops when you screwup or the sql planner screws up.
Thank you for your thoughts. We are continuing to iterate. Pricing in the serverless world is a new craft and there is lots to improve on. We were very excited to see other companies follow suit with serverless pricing models after our launch.

A lot went into making this iteration on our pricing. We spoke to customers, we reviewed all of our billing to make sure that this would save money for nearly all of our customers (the bill has increased for 2 customers because they have very unique workloads, we are providing them discounts to mitigate).

One thing to mention is that our storage includes replication of the data. We never want customers to worry about how many copies to keep to achieve HA so we do that for them and that is represented in this price.

We are continuing to optimize with the customer in mind and I am sure there will be further iterations. Stay tuned!

Maybe I read too much scifi, but can't nukes be intercepted in key locations? They might be able to land them in more remote places, but wouldn't hitting cities be difficult? I was under the impression developed nations have missile interception technologies. But yeah, I've read books not based in reality and watched some netflix in my days, so I could be in fantasy land. Kind of sobering to write this out and realize how clueless I am.
Nuking someone is a definitive, MAD-triggering event. Causing a radiological disaster "accidentally" would be entirely consistent with the "stop hitting yourself" diplomacy Russia has undertaken since moving against Ukraine in 2014.
> Ukraine is in the middle of two "powers" and the proper role would be one of buffer

You are aware that Ukraine was the buffer between nato and Russia, because the two actually touch in other places quite a lot? Also, "buffer" is not predestined mandatory role for any country. Buffer is not necessary at all.

There are so many levels of wrong with what you wrote here ...
Although it is still an issue. While the resource is everywhere, the technology for extraction is still in a specific vulnerable position.

Once we have the extraction capabilities elsewhere - then is is a non-issue. The turn around time on that? I have no idea. It could be days, months or years.
The EU and USA can't attack Russian troops directly without escalating the war far more than anyone wants. No one wants to provoke a nuclear nation, not even another nuclear nation.

As long as Putin doesn't try to advance out of Ukraine, I doubt that NATO will offer any direct support beyond supplying arms and training.
I guess this indicates that Russia intends to completely subdue Ukraine and back it into a corner. In such a scenario, a desperate Ukraine government could wield the plant as leverage by threatening some catastrophe. By removing it from their hands, Ukraine is denied this weapon of last resort.

And Russia gains another weapon of last resort, should anyone think of putting them in the same position.

Maybe there was a chance for a solution without invasion. But it seems West did not believe/want this. Either this was because West not wanting to look weak or they have a secret plan and wanted Russia to invade... Either way, Western actions leading to this weren't in Ukraine's best interest.

> it would probably be more profitable, but you would never get the plans approved.

I'm not sure it would be in this market. Catering to people with money is pretty profitable. Catering to lower income tenants...even with more scale on your side, might not work out, especially with the extra overheads involved (with Seattle's strict eviction laws, for example). Most small-scale landlords in Seattle are trying to get away from even moderate income housing that might require them to fund moving costs because of future rent increases (as well as rising eviction costs...it doesn't make much sense to rent to anyone but a very well funded and low risk techie).

> in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Afghanistan again, Iraq, Syria, and others, one or more parties in the conflicts had nukes.

I don't care about the other parties in the conflict. Nukes stop you from getting invaded, not from invading. Afaik, none of these countries were nuclear when they got steamrolled.
EU and US will use every diplomatic and financial weapon against Russia, but they've long since decided Ukraine and the Ukrainian people aren't worth actual war over. That call was made in 2014 and stopping Russia then would've been easier than it would be now.

The EU and America have promised to help with economic sanctions on Russia and by providing military aid and lethal aid.

The EU and America have explicitly not promised to help out with direct military action against Russia. The United States and Biden have said multiple times that the US will not have forces engage Russia directly in Ukraine.

What specific promises are you referring to?
That's standard pop-sci title inflation. The article is about how evidence from analyzing fish buried in debris tsunamis indicates that the impact happened in Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere). That is a genuine contribution to understanding what happened. You're right that the hibernation thing is pretty speculative -- but it's also a falsifiable hypothesis that other evidence could shed light on later, so it's not like we shouldn't talk about it.
He pulled troops from Germany (which is not the front anymore) and put troops in Poland and other eastern countries. How is this a move to help Putin? He moved troops on the front and started more bases.

Exercises and bases in all Eastern Europe intensified under Trump.

He likes to talk nicely about people that he's going to strike. Like he always says he likes Xi, but then start a trade war anyway.

He blocked NS2, Biden opened it in his first week in office.

If Trump was so weak toward Putin, Putin would have invaded with Trump in the White House...but Putin invaded with Biden there(and previously woth Obama). Makes you think, doesn't it?
