Also worth noting that no one expected the US to impose sanctions of this severity. Even a month ago, President Biden himself would not have thought we would react this way. But Twitter hysteria struck again and imposing harsher and harsher sanctions—and in the private sector, voluntarily withdrawing from the Russian economy even when sanctions did not require it—became a way to demonstrate your holiness. Rational calculation and self-preservation, out the window. We live in a Twitter world order now.

You can tell this was unplanned because back in January, with the invasion looming, US officials said (even if they did not completely mean it) that sanctions would be narrowly targeted to hurt the Russian elite but not the common people. Now, the explicit goal of the sanctions is to cripple the Russian economy and cause mass suffering sufficient to collapse support for the Russian government. If this was the plan all along, we would have said so. Deterrence only works if the other guy sees it coming.
>Personally, though, I find the handwritten aspect of the letter, and the from a human being part of the text messages, to be the awkward parts. I've never met the folks texting me, yet they know my name and want to convince me of things. Its advertising, it feels pushy. Being channeled through a real human (even if they truly align with the message) doesn't change that. I might agree with the message, but I still don't want it to barge into my day like that.

This is the unfortunate reality of a lot of Rust projects. There are of course some who don't fetischise the language and there are of course community members on both sides but from the outside it makes Rust look so, so unappealing and almost like a cult.

And that's without the "rewrite it in Rust" spam.
I don't think people care that much whether it's DoorDash or GrubHub or Ubereats that's taking their order. Food is what's popular and getting it delivered is very convenient. But this is not just for delivery orders. Pickup orders are affected as well.

When DoorDash can place a link to their service on the Google result for a restaurant, it looks like it is a legitimate part of the restaurant's service. When they do this in a deceptive manner (without the restaurant's permission), it harms both customer and restaurant, because prices are often higher, there are extra service fees, and Doordash takes a big cut of the sale. And in the case of pickup orders, they get this big cut of the profit without adding a single bit of value to the transaction. And the customer may never even know who they were dealing with.
The Fed's target in 2019 was 2%. 7% is high, but if it weren't for Russia and decreased in 2022, I'd argue they did a decent job. They had no idea how big of a hole lockdowns left and the price increases from supply chain issues would cause. They overshot their target, but they also wanted to overshoot rather than undershoot.

Congress and public policy is where the ball was dropped. Most of the Europe did a better job maintaining work stability by distributing subsidies through employers rather than cash to individuals. It meant that when lockdowns eased, workers were ready.

Sámi to this day manage herds of reindeer. I'd characterize it as farming after a manner. The reindeer for all practical purposes wild, yet they are cared for and benefit the Sámi. I expect they know how little reindeer come to be.

Off in eastern Siberia Tuvans were (until relatively recently) nomadic herders with at least one sub group being reindeer herders.

It seems like a logical step from managing wild herds to domesticating wild animals and I'm curious as to why domestication happens in some places and not in others. Then again, if it's working, why mess with it. :-)
No, that's a facile understanding of how the economy and fiscal policy works. A large portion of inflation is still likely to be due to complex supply issues rather than simply everyone getting some extra cash. There is also the fact that spending on services has shifted to goods and hasn't fully shifted back. It is likely once supply chains finally catch up and spending shifts back to services and travel that much of the upward price pressure will be relieved.

And of course, those are just a few factors, there are countless more factors that make the whole situation far more complicated than anyone could possibly account for.

Google is only fully remote for a small subset of its workforce, and even then it has to be arranged using their system. In the right location though $300k is certainly possible.

Unfortunately pay in this industry is largely determined by your location. You can work your whole life in say, South Carolina and just barely pass six figures, or move to Seattle and triple your salary overnight. Exceptions are surely on the rise but it’s still a matter of negotiating your value and expertise with what the org is willing to pay.

So with that said I still think it could be worthwhile if you can dedicate the time to a bootcamp which can provide leads to the types of jobs you want. You’ve still got some time in the workforce to build a knowledge base and accelerate your career, but I wouldn’t count on FAANG salary numbers right out of the gate.
Fetch() in Node.js Core: Why You Should Care
Before getting into software I did fair amount of construction. Once you know how a job should be done you never look at the resulting product the same way. From drywall to sidewalks, everywhere I look I see that someone rushed or didn't care. I wish it wasn't hard to find quality craftsmanship, but it is. Ignorance is bliss, but I lost that long ago.
You're literally commenting on an article about a negative supply shock leading to increases in prices and you're concluding it has everything to do with monetary policy.
Fantastic, would love to play with it once available. Thanks!

i too suffer from immediate references to tell me i know nothing, but we are all the same, reading the same stuff, even right here...
We've been multiplying the money supply for decades. The fact that we are only seeing inflation now is proof that increasing money supply is by far the only factor and likely one of the smaller ones.
The announced US policy was yes, to let Russia as a whole mostly get away with it, but to hit the Russian elite specifically with very harsh but specifically targeted sanctions. The red line was NATO territory + de facto NATO members like Finland, not Ukraine.

1. With some climate consideration, to get the yields you typically want to seed it in the fall, so unless you have a time machine it's a little late to be thinking about growing wheat now for a lot of regions.

2. Protein content is quite sensitive to the climate the wheat is grown in, so assuming you want breads and pastas rather than pastries there are even more challenges in front of you.

3. An acre planted in wheat is an acre not planted in something else, so even if you overcome all of other issues you're just pushing the problem onto another crop.

The West needs an offramp.

Russia will achieve its objectives. China, India, Brazil, Iran (which just openly attacked a US/Israeli base in Northern Iraq), and 17 African nations are more or less ignoring Western sanctions.

The West is busily cutting off the branch it's sitting on.
> There is no reason why your web portal password should have anything to do with the modem’s RADIUS passwords.

It usually does just because they want the same password to be used for both

> Frankly, there’s no reason to even have a modem password as you can just identify them based on the line (and an attacker that manages to get physical access to the like can trivially MITM to get the password anyway).

DSL makes use of PPPOE so they don't have any choice to auth you any any other way.

Also DSL services are terminated at DSLAMs that are not necessarily owned by your ISP.
They use the radius realm (the bit after the @ in your username) to proxy your authentication request to the correct ISP.

It would be nice if ADSL services didn't do PPPOE with CHAP authentication but they do.
This is how they work whether you think there's a reason for them to or not.

> But as another comment mentions, this is DOCSIS which doesn’t use any user-entered passwords for modems.

The company previously did DSL and when they stopped doing that I'd hazard a guess they didn't re-engineer the whole organisation to change how they auth users for webmail etc

Green Hydrogen can be blended with natural gas up to approximately 20/80 ratios. That can certainly address some or most of the shortfall, but probably at a measurable increase in price.
> It's pretty depressing how many of the comments are purely answering the title and not discussing the content of the article.

I’ve said this before on other threads, and it seems to resonate with others, so I’ll say it here too:

I personally don’t care near as much about a single person’s opinion of a particular topic, as much as I care about the discussion of many people around a particular topic.

And by “topic”, in the case of HN, I mean the title of an article.

I often wish HN would just allow titles to get posted and HN folks just have a discussion around that. (Similar to Ask HN, but not necessarily in the form of a question.)

I’m a terribly slow reader, so there’s no way I could take time out of my already busy day to read this (very long, dense) article of a single person’s opinion of a single topic, especially if I don’t even know whether this person is an expert on said topic.

I guess this is particularly true when it’s a subject I’m only interested in on the surface, vs. caring more deeply about a particular subject.

I get much more ROI reading many people’s shorter discussions vs. a lengthy single opinion (again, given the time it would have taken me to read the article).
can't see your previous question, but it's tough to say anything here or elsewhere that doesn't fit an acceptable narrative.

best i can offer is maybe ask same question, but extremely gently -- something so soft and gentle that it wouldn't even melt a snowflake.
That’s a wild gamble with the lives of your populace. It’s one thing to build an interdependence on a democratic country and quite another to put the fate of a continent in the hands of a single dictator.

>Finally, the claims that massive price increases were due to inflation

You have this backwards. Inflation (via CPI) is based on price changes, it doesn't cause them.

>would be much more believable if the businesses selling the "inflation impacted goods" we're making the highest profits ever, far in excess of the highest estimates of inflation.

This is exactly what you'd expect when there is low supply and high demand.
Engineer vs cofounder is a huge difference, mole hill vs mount everest.

> Unfortunately the party in charge right now is trumpeting the idea that inflation must be because companies are price gouging customers rather than trying to slow down domestic spending.

What is the scope of the evidence that proves that this claim (which, btw, is really not being trumpeted by anyone "in charge") is false?
I’m can buy a certain amount of “liberal economic order” for things like household goods or perhaps putting your energy supply in the hands of a democratic nation, but putting your oil supply in the hands of a dictatorship seemed foolish well before Putin invaded Ukraine.
Titles at an early stage are mostly useless. Just look at the equity - founders get >10% normally the founding engineer probably like 1%.

Easier inventory management for stores like Best Buy. Instead of having to carry SKUs for the T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc. carrier-locked variant of each phone (which, I'll admit results in some combinatorial explosion), they can carry 1 SKU for each truly different hardware configuration. Then it magically "becomes" an AT&T locked phone when they insert the SIM in the store.

If you buy it subsidized or through a carrier payment plan, this works as intended (and they'll refuse to let you have the phone before the SIM is inserted). If you meant to buy an unlocked phone, you've been given an annoying lesson to buy directly from the manufacturer.
No. Oh my! And with some casual classism and racism to boot:

> The love of exciting tales is characteristic of all uncultivated nations, and the only difference between our children and servants, and other people pouring over their stories, and the Indians on the plains, or the nomadic Arabs seated in the desert and listening with eyes and ears intent, is that the latter are compelled to satisfy this passion in moderation.
The law of supply and demand is what sets prices across an entire economy, not some grand conspiracy by every company to overcharge consumers. Greedy companies might collude in an industry here and there, but that doesn’t cause across the board inflation.

And this grand conspiracy argument is the position, at least in part, being pushed by the Democratic Party in the US. It’s actually similar to what flailing governments in third world inflationary economies say too. It’s always the evil capitalists raising prices for no reason but to line their pockets. Ignorant drivel meant to appease ignorant people and deflect blame.
I have worked in multiple b2b startups and one of them was reasonably successful. Based on what I saw, split ratio changes as the startup matures. Earlier we had mostly monthly sign ups. monthly >> annual. As we hired a bigger sales team and created incentives for them to close on annual contracts annual brought in a significant revenue. More like monthly ~ annual.

It also was based on the market type we went. Initially it was small b2b businesses (employee size of around 50k). Once we started moving up market, the contract amount and deal size increased.

Micropayments are the future. The problem with today's micropayment is the fragmented payment systems.

We'll move from ads to micropayments for content, when you can pay with your bank account, fractions of a penny in real time for seconds and minutes of content.

There are also serious concerns over security practices at Debian. Or at Linux at all, though Redhat is a bit better than Debian re security.

first - I didn't say that you would or wouldn't. I said it isn't "surviorship bias", the reliability and repair-ability difference is absolutely real.

And I don't use a 1960 fridge, mines about 3 years old - why? because the old one broke and I had to get a new one quick (I could not afford the time to repair - plus the old one was post-2000 junk anyhow), I like auto-defrost, and the other monkeys that live in the house need ice+water in the door, or they'll throw poop at me.

At a 4% interest rate, and .12$/KWh, a modern fridge @450KWh/yr for 10 years costs NPV -$933 for electricity and say -$1000 to buy it. And old fridge @1800KWh/yr for 10 (more) years costs -$1750. So you'd save about $200 with the ancient fridge, not counting having to manually defrost it.

And before you say it - there is no "repairing over and over". You need to put about that $200 into like it every 20-30 years, every other generation you hand it down to.

Still if electricity doubled in cost, or you just like auto-defrost, or live with other monkeys, it's probably not worth it. But the difference isn't "vast". It's pretty negligible because on the whole, fridges don't use a lot lot of power.

So - why can't we have a basic $1000 modern efficient fridge that is repairable? because - you'd keep it for 30-50 years and that'd be the end of that business. But what if that company was then encouraged to make a better fridge next year. It's an interesting unintended side-effect of right-to-repair and other repair-ability measures. Instead of buying a new fridge because I have to, I should buy a new one because it's 2x as efficient and it's a better value proposition when faced with rising power costs. It'd spawn the right kind of obsolescence not fake bad design obsolescence.
Besides the equity, would you expect any responsibility differences?

I think part of the appeal of Scratch evolves around if the kid has learned to type or not. With Scratch being more visual programming orientated, its easier to get into. Other aspects of why it's popular is it being beginner friendly and geared towards fun and games.

Scratch is a great "first step" for getting your feet wet and playing in the shallow end of the pool, as one is learning to swim. Not everybody learned or were even taught to swim their first day at the pool, and everybody has a different schedule on when (or if ever) they will get good at it.
Backups usually have limited retention after various data protection agencies. In my current location the recommended time is a few weeks for backups, a few days for logs etc. Those agencies are fully aware that nobody goes around purging data from backups (which may also be hard with airgapped backups etc.) and you might need to wait before being "forgotten".
Switching to electrical heating (even with heat pumps, not resistive) can create considerably different flows on the electricity grid. Considering all the time I hear complaints about electricity being blocked as means for heating in at least some places in Germany, I wonder if they simply haven't found out that their grid can't take it under current setup.
Considering for how much KMC sold its seats back then I’d say 30K USD was still a bargain.
