> Though a system with better operational and strategic mobility would certainly be valuable. Modern tanks can't cross a lot of bridges due to weight constraints,

specifically, the Abrams is getting real heavy these days with all the upgrades, to the extent that it's becoming an operational problem. They can't be towed by their recovery vehicle anymore. They're too heavy for their carrier trucks/trailers. They can't use landing craft or bailey bridges. A lot of constructed bridges in the expected area of operations can't support them.

What is the difference between using Unbound + Python or PowerDNS/dnsmasq + LUA and using this product?
That still doesn't disprove wokeism's influence on the whole "things you can't say" dynamic. Leo Strauss has famously pointed out that censored ideas often end up being conveyed in a disguised manner, generally involving some kind of reverse psychology where a purposely clumsy or hyperbolic argument for X is used as a signal of believing not-X. So it may be that these seemingly "extreme woke" ideas are being purposely targeted to an unsuspecting Twitter audience as a broader challenge to wokeism itself, and that much of the mockery simply misses the point.
Sadly this is probably the case.
I hate this shit. I hate when companies try to optimize their results to what they think I want. I don't care if it's Home Depot or Amazon, nothing infuriates me more than searching for something I know exists and getting contextualized results that are not what I asked for. If you're going to do this, at the very least allow me to turn it off so I can see what I'm missing.

I wanted to see if HD had a outdoor jbox extension ring in stock before I drove down there, so what did I search for? Well "outdoor jbox extension ring" of course. What did I get results for? A sprinkler spike, various types of romex, a Wyze flood light, and extension cord protectors.

I guess at least now I know why their search is useless.

* What would be helpful is knowing which terms, if any, didn't get hits. Maybe it was jbox and I need to type "junction box", idk. But providing me garbage results is just infuriating.
Believe the experts!

Some people want real proof, not having to rely on believing experts.

I guess it is a chasm across society. Some people want to be able to believe.
I am totally shooting from the hip on all this, but I do wonder if/when there is a trade-off point between the expertise and energy youth can put into the trade versus the benefits and efficiencies of experience.
Time in the market > timing the market. It’ll go back up.
Intel CPUs are not the same way, and haven't been for nearly 20 years. The pins are on the motherboard, and the CPU has lands; hence the name 'Land Grid Array' (starting with the LGA775).

Most of AMD's CPUs are still of the PGA (Pin Grid Array) type; but it's worth noting that this isn't true for Socket AM5, which is itself an LGA socket, and the socket for the Threadrippers has been LGA since its inception.
That’s like saying “I tried to kill you, but you survived, so what are you complaining about?”

The Twitter mob has ruined lives and is doing everything they can to ruin the ones they target.
Savings diluted by inflation or artificial asset growth?

Can you have it both ways ?
Discussions of "wokeism" should keep in mind that one of the most visible cases of being "canceled" is Colin Kaepernick, and you'd hardly call those blackballing him "woke." Meanwhile other less-accomplished QBs still bounce around from at least backup job to backup job...

But beyond that... people have been getting blackballed forever in this country.

So it's very important in this discussion to make it clear if you're complaining about just:

a) people facing repercussions for saying 'conservative' things

or

b) people facing repercussions for other things as well

or even just something like

c) the outsize influence of random anonymous people and mobs on Twitter
Poor boomers are affected more by inflation than market crash.
Adam Osborne from Osborne & Assoc. wrote a number of highly readable perfect bound books in the mid 70s in his Introduction to Microcomputers series. Volume I "Basic Concepts" covers everything from gates and truth tables to common assembly language instructions. Later volumes targeted assembly language for specific processors of the day such as the 8080 and 6502. I learned to program from these books (and K&R).

Osborne & Associates went on to sell a portable CP/M machine that was very bulky and heavy but earned the right to be called portable.

Someone forgot to take their anti-cynicism medication this morning.
I'm not particularly impressed with the quality of the article. The first question that comes to my mind that the article doesn't address is, how many geniuses did humanity miss because education was very, very limited. Second thought: history shows that the vast majority of aristocratically tutored students were very much not geniuses; this article is full of cherry-picking.

Third, there's the "Where's Todays Beethoven" chart, "Below, we can see the number of acclaimed scientists (in blue) and artists (in red), divided by the effective population (total human population with the education and access to contribute to these fields)."

Note: "with the education and access to contribute to these fields". If you increase the denominator by many orders of magnitude, no matter what the numerator is the result will probably go down.

"Tutoring, one-on-one instruction, dramatically improves student’s abilities and scores. In education research this effect is sometimes called “Bloom’s 2-sigma problem” because in the 1980s the researcher Benjamin Bloom found that tutored students '. . performed two standard deviations better than students who learn via conventional instructional methods—that is, "the average tutored student was above 98% of the students in the control class.”'"

The 2-sigma problem points to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom%27s_2_sigma_problem which has,

"Bloom found that the average student tutored one-to-one using mastery learning techniques performed two standard deviations better than students who learn via conventional instructional methods—that is, "the average tutored student was above 98% of the students in the control class"."

The "mastery learning" method "is an instructional strategy and educational philosophy, first formally proposed by Benjamin Bloom in 1968." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastery_learning), so there's that. (I'm a cynic; "my way produces much better results" with no further data tends to inspire distrust.)

"Consider the easy nature by which Darwin, at the age of only 16 and already in university,..."

And what proportion of university students were younger than 17 in the 1820s?

"Indeed, it’s remarkable how common aristocratic tutors were. Essentially universal."

One might suspect that where and when there is no more modern educational system that tutors would, in fact, be the only way to get any education.

One further note: the US pays roughly $15,000 per student per year as it is. Are you willing to work a full-time job for less than $30,000 per year? How's your Greek and Latin? Math? Science? Literature? (Assumptions: 2 half-time students per tutor. Some overhead will be necessary for the tutors.)

Increased costs lead to decreased demand, which ultimately will dampen further price increases. They're shifting the intersection of supply and demand.

"You've leapt into another argument, ignoring the whole thesis trap you tried to set earlier."

What trap? I was genuinely confused as to how you thought my comment reinforced the thesis, or that you were using a different thesis than I was (there is a slight difference, but minor). What argument did leap from, and to what new one?

"Even the article mentions Chicago as having a real and persistent homicide problem and describes the murder rate as alarming.

As I said in my comment. Nobody has ever disputed that, to say otherwise is yet another strawman."

Ok, then what was the point of your argument attacking the commenter for saying (not so nicely, but you didn't take issue with that part) that Southside has a lot of murders?

"It's ok to admit that you were never interested in discussing the actual analysis in the report because you refuse to accept it's validity."

I am interested in discussing the actual analysis. You can look at my other comments relating to the analysis (like why Trump vs governors, why are we looking at party and not policies, etc). Not sure why you're attacking me like this. I am interested in the actual subject of how policies and socioeconomic factors affect crime.
> Just because I can find people expressing goofy ideas like "saying 'my concerns fell on deaf ears' is ableist language" or "deadnaming a trans person is violence" on Twitter, doesn't mean that's mainstream.

Do a thought experiment: Your company is a player in a certain language/framework ecosystem (python, react, whatever). As part of that, many of your employees attend and sometimes host meetups for that ecosystem. A fellow highly-involved meetup organizer from another company announces that they are transitioning gender, and that they would like to be called by a new name. Almost everyone does. A few people make mistakes, but are sincere and apologize -- they want to do better, but memory pathways are hard. But one employee at your company objects to using their new name and pronouns on moral grounds. They keep using the organizer's dead name and old pronouns, and when they are asked to use their new name, they refuse.

Do you think that is the way that a professional should act towards others in their profession?
Jesus Christ, work til you die eh?

For a lot of people, what is even the point of living if there's no retirement to enjoy?

They are an extractive class insofar as their present contributions are net negative. But you are forgetting they likely spent their entire life building up that account, both in terms of an actual retirement and the broader accounting of total life's contributions. Indeed, it is something that hopefully you and I will enjoy one day, because we've earned it.

That idea reeks of short-term thinking, and a world of endless work for no reward as your worth goes to 0 once you stop contributing.
I’m surprised this is top comment. Everyone ought to rebalance their assets as they get closer to retirement. If you are retired you should have a minimum of 3-10% of your portfolio in bonds, which typically fluctuate less than stocks. Then you draw from your bond assets to actually get money.

As long as your stock assets aren’t touched for 3-5 years it doesn’t matter what the market does in the next few months.

I can think of use cases with existing solutions that could migrate to something like this, but not any really novel use cases. Put your health checks in your DNS server rather than issuing nsupdate requests from a monitoring system. Use this to do GeoDNS dynamically in the DNS server rather than using anycast and giving out different records at different authoritative DNS servers. Check the netblock or ASN-1 of someone connecting and direct traffic from specific networks to different host records. Automatically adjust your TTL upward when you're getting a lot of DNS traffic for a particular record. Adjust it down when adding new A records to a particular name. Have fine-grained control over logging for just certain requests. Automatically have SPF and DKIM updated when adding records to a particular subzone.
You're talking about living breathing humans. "extractive cost center" is a weird way to describe "person who paid social security their entire working life". You're not wrong about what you're saying but fuck can you act like there's real people involved here and not just numbers? Are retirees _really_ economic parasites?

Let's not forget that consumption is bringing in revenue to _someone_ which does provide value to the economy. Unbelievable
At least OP is upfront about it
The Fed's mandate is to control inflation and unemployment. It's not meant to have anything to do with the stock market.
Ultimately it depends on the type of debt. Some people carry credit card balances with 20% APR, so in that case is much better to pay off the balance on the credit card when compared to market returns.
Only small fraction (2.5%) of retirees rely on their 401(k) plans as a single source of income. The majority relies on social security. High inflation will affect many more people, and not just retirees.

Of course things take energy; this is so obvious, it’s a straw man.

The question is how closely economic value correlates with raw energy usage. The answer is: they’ve been diverging for years. A Simpsons SD card does not take any more energy to use than an SD card full of Pauly Shore movies. A Mercedes sedan uses about the same amount of energy as a Honda sedan.
Retirees are everyone, except older. What would “you”[1]want from the fed once a retiree?

While we're at it, we should remember that this isn't a unitless number although it's often confused for one.

Interest rates are being raised by .25% per year.
I'd invite you to read the article I linked: https://acoup.blog/2020/03/20/collections-why-dont-we-use-ch... . Generally speaking, if you need to take a city you're better off using high explosives than chemical weapons. It's well researched and cites sources.
Recession is inevitable. If you’re only considering interest rates, you haven’t bothered to look at the Fed’s balance sheet or FOMC meeting minutes from 2020. We bailed out the world through currency swaps, corporate bonds, and MBS purchases and we’re still doing it to the tune of $120B per month.
> This literally could mean the difference between living independently or not for a lot of people.

Given that quality of assistive care matters, it could literally mean the difference between living and not for people.

Of course, on the other hand, so could runaway inflation for lots of people into the same age group (not every elderly person is self-sufficient on retirement income; many are supported by younger, working family members.)
The point is, the things that make the economy work and grow is the production of things. Regardless of how many investments a retired person has, they by definition do not produce things.
A typical retiree portfolio should have a significant portion in bonds (or more likely, bond funds). Initially this will hurt, but over time, higher rates mean higher bond returns

Equity markets can take a hit at pretty much any time for completely unforeseen reasons. This is expected and should be factored into a "safe" withdrawal rate (see Bill Bingham and the 4% rule).

Anyone who was relying on an equity market that never tanked, to survive retirement, was doomed from the outset.
Of course not, but that's what DST is intended to approximate. It just does a bad job of it due to insufficient granularity. If we did a twelve minute clock shift, with ten evenly-spaced switch days, the jet lag would be a lot less bad.

Since that would also require a lot more work, it doesn't happen, but it's also more obvious what DST is actually doing when you think of it like that.
Inflation is almost 100% caused by "too much money" chasing "too few goods".

"Too much money" is a condition almost always caused by the creation of too much "fiat currency" (ie a currency that is backed by nothing but the good faith and credit of the issuing government)

As we all should know, in the US, on 6/5/1933 FDR took the US off gold-backed currency and started the fiat currency situation we still find ourselves in.

Over the past 13 years, the US M3 money supply (see https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MABMM301USM189S ) has grown from around $7.5T to $22T.

This number represents the "too much money" part of the original equation, and to be honest I'm quite surprised that price inflation isn't significantly worse then what it currently is. This is almost certainly being caused by the fact that the US dollar is the world's Reserve Currency.

Looking at the graph, starting Aug 2020 the line is starting to approach vertical, so it should be completely unsurprising that price inflation is occurring.

Finally, a 0.25% increase in the Federal Funds Rate is laughably small, and will do absolutely nothing to help with the price inflation the US is currently seeing.
It's important to separate out fraud from low interest rates. Low rates absolutely drive investment, and riskier investment at that. But the issue with 2008 was fraud in the lending market, not necessarily the low rates.

Risky investments aren't necessarily bad investments. Low interest rates give businesses more runway to operate investments that might take a while to show returns. A million dollar loan at 10% for an investment means that it needs to return into ~$80k a month to break even. At 2%, that same investment only needs a ~$16k monthly return. That's a huge difference in runway needed to start generating cash flow.
Probably best to not let Wall Street gamble with boomer retirement money on when the debt bomb will blow up. Putting Glass-Steagall rules on investment vs. commercial banking back in place would probably make sense around now.
Your "crime" is over-acting as you nail yourself to an imaginary cross.

Can you be specific about some of the things you believe are "wrongthink" in the eyes of "wokeism"? (Only if you feel safe doing so, of course...)
SPY is up >2% today. I think the market wants inflation to be tamped more than they want cheap money right now.
I think your post encapsulates what irks a lot of people about the "woke". There's no room for nuance or analysis, just a lot of overdramatized labels (nazi? really? you are aware of what the real nazis did right? stop cheapening history just to increase the temperature of the debate)
Lots of people live on social security alone.
i think its also a problem of funding. the problems of today are more resource intensive. i read that succesfull test to use mrna for medical treatment were done 20 years ago and nobody realy cared and knew about it. To realy develop into something viable took years to get the attention and funding.
Apparently retirees aren't allowed to hold investments
Right, just don't take the plea deal, make bail, get a lawyer that can appeal every motion, and stay solvent through the first appeals court, the supreme court, the remand back to trial court, and the subsequent ruling, hope the prosecutor is bored enough to avoid a retrail, and don't get into crime during those 8 years so you get your bail back, and hope you don't get tried at the state level

If you can actually afford your rights, be my guest!
You’re talking about fuel cells, which are only used with the smallest (prop) design. The two larger jets are intended to have hydrogen turbines, burning hydrogen and producing water.

I love the idea of small modular reactors (SMRs) being used to produce the hydrogen from water. We also need a vast buildout of safe, clean, dependable modern nuclear reactors to provide the developing world with enough energy to make the demographic transition (via a higher standard of living) to better environmental practices.
I has been searching for Docker pricing information about various licenses and I came across mutliple snapshot from Wayback and it clearly show they are charging for the support and various thing. It dated way back to 2015, commercial entities already paying for the support back then. It been there for years! To be clear, Free (as in personal-use license) accounts have been FREE to use and it still free. It just that other licenses are not and Docker been charging those other licenses for years.

And people complaining about the "bait-and-switch" that occurred few years ago while Docker has been charging for non-free licenses way before that. Huh?
By and large, the "woke" subculture hates Bernie. They view themselves in opposition to the dreaded "Berniebros".
It seems that Putin is the scapegoat for inflation and will be the scapegoat for recession as well.

It is a position is of its own making. It shouldn't have allowed this massive debt to accumulate in the first place. Cheap credit and the massive debt that comes with it is the main cause of inflation. Now that the whole economy depends on credit and debt, solutions to inflation can't be applied since they negatively affect credit.
price inflation and asset inflation.

That increased supply went to asset inflation.
It's the reason that the Fed is nominally non-political.

Nobody wants the medicine, even if they need it.
The problem with this is that this is basically genetic engineering, you might successfully make a low-level economic growth impact now, but future generations will be resistant to the poisons as those weak against them die off. You are securing your own demise long-term if you don't subject your population to the same.
I'm surprised you're more convinced by eye witness testimonies. People are notoriously unreliable. If anything, this glare is better proof of green men than just talk.
> Does anyone else think wokeism has gone too far

Yes, because it is locked in a feedback loop with the folks who have recently decided to start saying the quiet part out loud. If people could just all around stop acting like jerks, everything would be much quieter. But nobody thinks they are the jerk.
"Move or shut up" -- wow, we've come a long way from "I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
That's really interesting perspective, I had no idea that's how it worked in NZ. I suppose it works seamlessly in NZ as the loans are originated by the the NZ government. Could be interesting if student loan services in the US offered a BPS discount if the payment auto deducted from a paycheck.
I think the biggest thing holding Nova back from being a great code editor for most Mac users is their lack of investment in the extension ecosystem. The extension library has no curation which results in outdated, broken, and duplicate extensions. As far as I can tell Nova is maintained by a tiny team and extension bugs or feature requests are slow to be resolved.

It's hard to see many folks switching from VSCode if the extensions they rely on are unreliable in Nova.
