I thought you were referring to my comment.

It seems that many people would move out of high crime neighborhoods if it was feasible. We did see a large exodus from the cities in general around this time frame, although it's hard to say how much was this or covid as it's likely a combination of many factors.

It appears the commenter's statement was simply not granular enough since they grouped the whole Southside together (as the article groups entire cities together, then maybe the article was not granular enough?). They still have a valid point. A rate of 28 is substantially higher to most places in the US. Even the article mentions Chicago as having a real and persistent homicide problem and describes the murder rate as alarming. The commenter didn't say the issue only exists there and admits that it's not just politics, and it would be hard to argue that it's not a blatantly one of the highest rates in the country. If it's a good example of a general area where people wouldn't want to walk around because of a high murder rate, then why not use it?
We had soaring inflation in the early 80’s, but at that time loan interest rates and certificate of deposit rates were much higher than they are now. Does anyone know why the difference?
about cruise missiles, wasn't there one of those DARPA contests to see if a guy in the garage could produce a cruise missile? IIRC it got quite scary and was cancelled or something. Being in the drone and high power rocketry hobby i have absolutely no doubt there's enough knowledge and electronics availability for a guy in their garage to come up with something that delivers 50lbs to a precise gps coordinate a few hundred miles away for less than $10k. Once you do that, it's easy to scale up to 500lbs
The US Air force and Navy have a pretty bad track record of incompetent pilots. They have a history of losing numerous planes in training excercises, for example.
Key takeaway is "mask requirement dropped". Everyone should feel free to protect themselves. Just don't mandate that other people do things to protect you.

People read "Navy confirms authenticity of the video" as "This is important and Navy can't explain it." (if they try).

Only thing Navy does it confirms that the video is real. They don't say that they have even tried to identify or that there is any reason to identify. They have hundreds or thousands of hours of video or radar images of drones etc. they don't care to identify.

Navy does not engage with these hustlers from "To the stars academy" at all. That's the only good response. To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences (media & entertainment company) makes this stuff up and sells it.

The video states that there's something there, but its heat signature is causing the glare (the video is in IR). Was the object flying steadily and rotating weirdly throughout the video? You can't see how the object is flying, the smooth motion and weird rotation you perceive is the effect of the glare!

But nah, of course you know better!
The amount of autonomy that makes something a “person” has only ever been drastically understated in these sorts of discussions, I find. Like saying a future self-driving taxi would own its own business and keep its profits. That’s like giving a self-driving tractor the deed to the farm. It’s easy to personify things that demonstrate some amount of “agency” (moving around on their own, making decisions), I guess, but lots of things do that and it doesn’t make them legal people who can own property and the like. Even if it made sense to give a deed to a tractor, no one would do it.
You heard it here first from me [0] and even earlier on DuckDuckGo's lies on manipulated search results [1] since as I already said they use Bing's search results, so it was only a matter of time for this search manipulation to be exposed at some point.

Aside from the excellent framing from the Vox spin doctors of this article, the whole real point of DuckDuckGo is to be an uncompromising, privacy-friendly search engine that doesn't manipulate search results like how Google clearly does.

Now they just admitted directly that they are no different to what Google has done to the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) [2]; therefore they are compromised.

But of course, Vox doesn't want to talk about DDG's manipulation for years, but instead writes a piece on framing 'right-wingers' again. Typical narrative spinning mainstream media eh?

It's probably worth at least skimming the article prior to dismissing it. He's not saying nothing's there.

> He says that his video does not address the object itself as it’s not clear what the object is and there is nothing to say that it isn’t special or exemplary in some way. He just argues that his analysis shows that it isn’t actually exhibiting any incredible behavior and opens the door to other “mundane possibilities” like a distance small jet just flying away and the heat of the engines is what is creating a large glare on the thermal camera.

He's saying the supposedly magical behavior is explicable. Without that, it's a fairly boring "someone's probably flying a drone near our ships" sort of incident.
I definitely see the appeal of cross-platform apps for people using multiple systems. I suspect that's a small portion of users, though: most of us work on one primary platform. In my case, I'd be happy to throw money at a native Mac app that looks, feels, and moves like a native Mac app.

>> Is lowering interest rates a method to overcome a recession?

It is claimed to be. The idea is that with lower interest rate, companies and people will be more likely to borrow money to spend and that will boost the economy.

I for one do not really believe this to be true. I suspect it's the act of lowering rates that gives a temporary boost until things rebalance. In other words, economic activity has some dependence on the derivative of interest rates. This is why things were so good from 198x through 2003 or so, rates were dropping the entire time (filtered of course).
Could they go any slower? The consensus seems to be that this is far too little way too late.
I am not sure if it is really useful to evaluate what happened vs the other outcomes that we were not able to experience. We don't really even have that many precedents for the situation. It was, and still is, an extremely complex problem to address. Injecting large amounts into the system ultimately doesn't create long term wealth, but in that short term gap during the first 1 of the pandemic many people were undoubtedly pulled out of a hole.
If there is one thing Israel is known for, it's their secret service. I'd even go and say the Mossad is miles ahead of the NSA... the NSA goes for the brute force approach: grab every piece of data they can get their hold on with enormous resources and attempt to make sense of the pile later.

The Mossad is orders of magnitude more resource-efficient, they go for surgical strikes against whomever they are targeting. And they don't care at all if their target is an allied state, a neutral state or an enemy state.

I had this same thought but then I caught myself. Human nature doesn’t change that much. This basically happened at the corporate level at eBay in the last 12 months right? So factually if you are just saying it was a long time ago, then yes, that’s correct. However, I think it can and does still happen and humans from 50 years ago aren’t much different. In fact, some are even literally the same humans but just older…

A lot of it is experience in a space. Some things are less predictable than others but, over time, you develop heuristics that often work pretty well--at least for simpler tasks. Invariably you'll need to add some time for aspects of the business not directly connected to the output.

Also learn to add some padding when you can if you're doing a job for someone. I really learned this when I was a consultant. Way better to underpromise and then come in early than the other way around.
There are also issues like hydrogen embrittlement, tiny cracks, etc.

These are all solvable, but it's just expensive and hard.
Did they say from the beginning * "Hey, it's free forever!" * ?

If they made it explicit that it is free forever, then I would agree with your stance that Docker in the wrong. But so far I couldn't find a shred of information indicating that Docker commercial/enterprise account will be free forever. So that didn't put Docker in a wrong.

And be realistic of this world, you cannot expect software companies to survive on free account alone forever. Who is paying the servers to keep it up? Docker. Who is providing the support? Docker. Who paying the developers to keep Docker products updated and introduce new features? Docker. How could Docker survive without the cash flow with the free account forever. I mean Google, Microsoft, Chococately, Homebrew/Brew, etc have commercial licenses to cover the cost of their products to keep it free for personal-use users. If you don't see this coming, well I don't what to tell you but that is the cost of doing business.
If my great-grandparents 10 generations back didn’t copulate at just the right time (and millions of other interactions since then don’t line up), the chances of a “me” existing over there are nil. Same for all of us. So maybe there is another dimension, but it has virtually no relation to this one (everything I said about “me” would also apply to the earth, the sun, etc).

Docker Desktop doesn't save any time or money vs. things like minikube.

The initial setup is slightly easier, but then you're exposed to random modal dialog popups for all time moving forward.

If there was some value add, then maybe it would be worth paying for. As it is, it looks like they spun off the part of the company that had any hope of turning a profit (via support contracts), and now they're flailing around in search of a business model.

It's a shame. Dockerfiles are nice. I hope they come up with a way of getting people to pay for some (actual) value add.

i can't read polish but i do 2 other slavic languages and majored in english. i have no idea how i would even approach a translation project like for example The Futurological Congress. the level of wordplay involved in Lem's novels necessitates the creation of an entirely separate work of literature where the original is merely a source of inspiration...

Michael Kandel's translations are breathtakingly beautiful and sublime. they do an amazing job of bridging the slavic and the germanic which is almost on the level of Nabokov (an unfair comparison as in that case the translator is the author).

And that brings us to the sad blemish on Lem's english body of work: Solaris. Could you ask him please please please why there never was one by him? that such an important work is available in print only as a translation of a translation (from french)? Let's crowdsource it!

It isn't pure C. It uses x86-64 assembly language to save register context.

It falls back to setjmp()/longjmp() when its not x86-64, but (contrary to popular belief) those don't actually save all the registers, and longjmp() will on some platforms terminate the program if it detects it being abused in this way.
I think the missing aspect is that the platforms put this stuff in front of your face and human curiosity will have your attention directed at it anyway. You will actively be thinking about that troll who opened up an issue or someone in your Twitter DMs asking for help.

Although I respect the author's boundaries, that is sadly just part of the job of putting your work on the internet. This does not just stop at open source, if you put anything out for the world to consume, do know that this is what you're signing up for whether you like it or not. People will "find a way" to contact you and won't read your boundaries or even know about them before they do.

I keep an autoresponder in a notes file that I copy and paste regularly as it's a full time job to keep up with the requests.

Technically, it does not, raising 0.25% is always in relation to the existing value of the thing, so increasing a percentage by a quarter of a percent would mean increasing it by a quarter of a percent of its existing value.

On the other hand, "basis percentage points" means something absolute, not relative to the existing level.

Pedant out. :)
We are not yet in stagflation, unless I really missed something. The economy is actually fairly strong by most indicators. The question is whether inflation can be tamed by the time we hit a recession(which we will, whether it is in 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, etc...)

Well from a birds eye view of history, the USA, in particular, most definitely deserves to be meddled with in the same way it has for 100 years. But they are also doing a good job themselves in ungracefully losing its empire.
imo this has been a comically glacial effort, and im not sure the feds 1.9% interest target by EOY is anywhere near aggressive enough to stave off 10% or greater inflation by Q4. What i really think are needed --Clinton era 4-5% rates-- are all but taboo to the market post-housing-collapse.
nearly a year ago the fed was cheerleading "transient" inflation in an attempt to avoid culpability for the corporate credit bubble it created during 2008's post financial meltdown. the article is pretty fixative about 2018 but IMO this goes a long way back. Quantitative easing measures from from 2010 lke low credit and bond buyback were still going on in 2021. The coming to jesus moment for the fed that july bond buyback cessation targets would be a disaster was likely the 2021 holiday shopping slump, and we didnt start honestly talking about raising prime interest until febuary.

the reason 1.9%, and the reason this is a desperate tightrope, is that the fed has the very real ability to blow up the corporate credit bubble with prime interest.

Every country that has tried this has failed miserably. It can be extremely hard even on a small scale.

The only thing coming close is Social Democracy. But in Social Democracy there is usually lots of capitalism going on. Sometimes with highly perverse incentives, if the markets has been altered in a ham-fisted way.

In conclusion, the track record for socialized production is not stellar. Far from it.

Actually, the current guidelines by health authorities do not allow irreversible treatments for minors. They do allow puberty blockers, which are commonly used in cisgender children who experience precocious puberty, and are reversible. Your claim of brainwashing is unhelpful to any conversation.

But, don't forget the nonconsensual genital mutilation of infants. It's waning in popularity, but still incredibly common both in males and children with ambiguous genitalia.

> I would never say that “web development” is not “software

I had a feeling you might take this point of contention. I know I did not phrase it in the most sensitive way, but I was trying to highlight that his journey was different than a typical C# developer, for example. A minimum wage web-dev is not expected to know what an algorithm is, how anything is stored in memory, uncommon data structures, etc. And a tech director has a wide range of options but likely is more about managing other people than being a highly skilled individual contributor who can go make 200k easy at another job. Maybe all he did was update wordpress templates. Maybe in 12 years he has specialized in something worth $110k to this company but barely applicable anywhere else. We have no clue

All I know is that the OP didnt mention feeling underpaid, and the question was not about how to find a new job

Nearly all open source software is by definition unsupported (read the license).

If you need support you can pay for it (and in the blog the author specifically states they are open to communications regarding paid consulting work).

I'm not going to challenge your point but Docker also found itself in the unusual position of being commoditised before it could figure out how to make money. It's not a novel thought, it's been discussed here plenty enough that their business model vanished under their feet, especially when kubernetes entered the fray.

I can see why people aren't happy with how things have played out. Docker does need to earn its crust and pay its people, and this is strictly for the desktop UI, team space, and nascent collaboration feature with dev environments. It's a value-add over barebones docker but, and this is what is probably frustrating, it targets Windows and Mac users exclusively because it's not as easy to run docker without their software.

Let's not also forget that they made optional upgrades a paid-for feature, while at the same time releasing software with showstopping bugs and regressions. Their response was literally to pay them money so you could deny an automatic upgrade. So my sympathy for Docker finding itself in this position is fairly limited, knowing that.

> It seems like there's not much actual information in the article other than 80% of the top 10 states for murder rate voted for Trump, which I don't find useful or actionable.

I guess it depends on what you mean by actionable. If by actionable, you mean "changing my vote won't necessarily have an impact on the murder rate", I'd very much agree with you. However, I'd say it's actionable as in, "I should stop accepting and/or repeating a false narrative", I think that action is warranted.

Sure, if you could find data showing that when you look at the city level, that there was a distinct rise in the murder rate based on partisan leadership that differed from state-level trends, you could maybe make that case. However, it seems incredibly implausible that states with larger cities, cities more often lead by Democrats, and with a larger portion of their population in those cities, would have a lower murder rate and a lower increase in their murder rate, yet the larger trend of increased murders would be due to disproportionate increases in murder in cities lead by Democrats. At the very least, it would require that States that broadly vote Democrat would in aggregate have dramatically lower murders and increases in murders, which would also be in conflict with the partisan narrative.

Confirmation bias tends to manifest as a desire for more in-depth analysis for statements that violate one's expectations, but the rational case here is that the prevailing narrative needs far more in-depth analysis to deserve any kind of support.
