Is the implication “it’s not that bad”?

I’m sorry but I disagree. Do you have an explanation for why the increased price of gasoline won’t just infect prices for all the goods and services which depend on it?

Any business which needs to move people or goods over the road, or runs equipment/vehicles on gas is going to be affected. Not to mention the fact that consumers will have less disposable income to spend on things. And businesses may have to pay their workers more to account for that loss of disposable income.

Edit: see “wage price spiral”
Usually if official statistics and what you see are misaligned, its the official statistics that are wrong.

What's your general impression regarding price levels in the US? How much has your grocery bill gone up? How about rent? What about restaurant bills? Services like haircuts? Whats your credit card bill look like, excluding gasoline?

Personally I have seen prices go up well above 10%. Inflation metrics are complicated and there is a huge incentive to keep the official numbers down as they affect trillions in spending in terms of social security and other numbers tied to official inflation.

To put this number in context, Congress gave themselves a 21% increase in House office budgets to account for inflation

My favorite, which I unfortunately never dug into enough (/don't remember the solution), was a bug in some horrible pile of Javascript that only raised an exception _if the developer console was open in the browser_.

So much this. I have painful memories of talking a not-very-technical "technical support" guy through the use of `lsof` on Linux (they'd never heard of it) to diagnose a deployment issue. Also of multi-day to multi-week waits to get hardware lined up for our projects.

Small-scale manufacturing is another good spot. I spent some years doing consulting work with a steel processing company. "Boring" tech, but interesting problems to be solved.
Been a sysadmin for many years. Your right, for a few computers. Once you start getting into more than a quarter rack, you also need to start worrying about cooling (which also is lots of electricity) and usually things like ensuring the electricity stays on. (UPS, generator, etc). Don't forget to monitor and service all this stuff regularly.

Once your past a few racks of equipment, you have generator tests and service appointments, redundant AC, Redundant UPS, dual power to each rack, etc. Dual Internet connection, and a link to your other server room that you use for DR, etc. The costs and complexity quickly escalate after a server or two.

Put your finger on the median democrat line, leave it where it starts in 1994 and remember where republicans are in 1994 and 2017.

There is no question the democrats moved left, republicans followed and then moved right back to where they were. The democrats than moved further and further left.

>You can have one or two things change in a decade and people will adapt, but the current velocity is not sustainable.

You are describing the culture wars that are over. What we reached now isn't so much this. Social factors aren't even a huge consideration. It's about UBI. It's about wealth redistribution. It's about people who ignored advice, got a liberal arts degree putting $50,000 in debt and can only pay the interest payments from their mcjob.

I figure there was a period in time when this political division would turn into a civil war... but it won't.

Imagine the democrats clean sweep the midterms in november.

Imagine the republicans clean sweep the midterms in november.

What do you think happens in either of those cases?

> What “principles” are you referring to?

Those of Open Source software development:

> The users are treated like co-developers and so they should have access to the source code of the software. Furthermore, users are encouraged to submit additions to the software, code fixes for the software, bug reports, documentation, etc. [0]

Introducing a paywall to keep out those who wish to submit improvements to a project, is the antithesis of encouragement.

> I’d also pay that in a heartbeat as a user.

Not every Open Source contributor has money to give.

A better alternative might be for a forge website (GitHub or whomever) to implement a user-scoring system. Wikipedia uses this approach quite successfully, where only users with a certain level of 'credibility' are permitted to make changes to semi-protected articles. StackExchange/StackOverflow does something similar to avoid spam on 'highly active questions'. Even HackerNews does something like this, showing usernames in green for new accounts.

What the forge would actually do with the user-score, I'm not certain. It would be difficult to do anything without making the forge less welcoming to newcomers.

I have argued at length with people on this board about this very subject, and the answer is the way that the problem is measured in either country. The HUD survey is a farce; it's designed to underestimate the problem. You could easily infer with data who is homeless and who is not, and that's what the Dutch do. Maybe you are Dutch and unaware of the discrepancy, not sure. Housing and the tax benefits are very hot button issues in the Netherlands and the youth hate how cynical the old are considering the subject, so I get that their system is not perfect. But being critical is how things change.

I also find it hard to believe that you could accept a fact like this so easily. There is a very visible homeless problem in every large American city that you don't see in the Netherlands. And Amsterdam used to have a very similar problem that was only recently cleaned up in the mid-2000's.
The effectiveness of the federal government is complicated. You mentioned some disappointing aspects but I think it's worth keeping in mind some of the positive parts too. For one, the new vaccines are a triumph. As I understand it, DARPA was an early funder of research and development around MRNA tech. And Trump's Operation Warp Speed is, for me, a rare highlight of his time in office.
My Pebble 2 still has 7 days of battery life to this day :-)

I managed to procure a couple of cheap spare Pebbles over the years in case this one ever gives up the ghost but I'm unlikely to ever give the platform up so long as GadgetBridge supports it, I also wrote some software for it that I still use every day to track my working hours (it had a C SDK).
Good? I mean, has nothing been learned from the oil crisis in the 70s? If you don't want your economy held hostage, electrify it and use clean energy domestically produced to power it. The US has had ~50 years to plan for this.

Make carbon more expensive and rebate that to folks by income (carbon tax). Push people away from fossil fuels, and then you won't be held hostage by fossil producers in the future. Cheap oil isn't a right.

> My personal opinion is that this is a misaligned incentive that social platforms should correct structurally, rather than via governance or policies. And pushing the corrective actions back down to the individual is a cop-out.

hmm... I rather think the opposite is the case. Its all about playing to the crowd. And that there is no incentive for anyone (apart from the good faith individual) to do anything about it - all that noise translates into engagement with the platform.

It's still thousands of potential deaths, and nearing a million for all of China.

And that's before taking into account the fact that this will be an underestimation since deaths tend to trail the infection count by something like 2 weeks.

Still more alarming than ridiculous in my books.
TLS itself doesn't care about certificates. It provides messages to send and receive them, but their interpretation isn't a matter for TLS. If you want to send photos of, say an actual paper certificate you have or a particularly adorable cat, those messages would work fine but other people's software may not interoperate with yours.

The IETF's PKIX defines how X.509 certificates work for the Internet, because understandably X.509 is for the X.500 system and the Internet is not the X.500 system. PKIX defines the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) which allows the Internet's names (DNS names and IP addresses) to be subjects of X.509 certificates rather than needing the non-existent X.500 directory system for names.

I think you're mostly talking about the Web PKI. But the Web PKI was never "modelled" to work how you've described. At its outset, Netscape (who invented SSL and thus set this ball rolling) wanted pre-existing neutral services rather than they'd run everything and then obviously rival web browsers (including Microsoft's Internet Explorer) would have their own and it's pointless. Several important Certificate Authorities already existed at that time, issuing X.509 certificates in the X.500 system largely to banks, and were happy to take $$$ to issue certificates for this SSL experiment. Initially Netscape basically accepted any company that said they were in this business, and there were no rules (other than those the companies themselves decided on).

But in the modern era the Web PKI is in practice publicly overseen by m.d.s.policy, a policy discussion group of Mozilla. The lack of Name Constraints isn't because of some weird conspiracy, it's simply that Apple didn't support them for many years so if you used Name Constraints then now none of your certificates work on Safari or other Apple products (if Constraints are to work at all they must be marked Mandatory, and if you don't implement a Mandatory feature, you can't be sure if this certificate is valid, so you can't trust it).

For oversight to be effective the sort of delegation you envision is impossible, and accordingly where anything like it did exist the subCAs have moved back to being under physical control of the root CAs. In fact the big problem we had with Symtantec comes down to the lack of effective physical control, with CrossCert able to cause issuance from Symantec's systems yet having no effective oversight.

Also your timeline is badly off in thinking about the IP block allocations. CIDR happened in like 1993, Netscape's SSL doesn't happen until at least 1996. The companies that were issued class A IP blocks before CIDR are mostly smaller and few still exist in the same form, Apple, Comcast and AT&T maybe make sense, but Ford and Prudential Financial not so much. Microsoft are not on that list.

> Pebble probably could have limped on for another 5 years but ultimately their fate had been sealed

I agree with the point the article makes: if they'd focused in on their niche (hackers) instead of trying to go mainstream, they could have had a tidy, sustainable little business.

It only counts as limping along if you're going toe to toe with the Apple Watch for global marketshare, but there are other ways to define a successful business.
When I worked for a small web agency, I loved the fact that when you did a website for someone, you'd be introduced to their entire business model and everything within. It was a great opportunity to help them optimize all the things if they were willing. It lead to doing a lot of add on work like spreadsheet-> program work, physical network setup, ads, logos, kiosk applications, Christmas tree databases, etc...

I loved helping those small businesses but a lot of them don't have a lot of money to burn so going with a monthly rate they can plan on is powerful, as is managing expectations. A lot wanted Facebook for $500. There are patterns that emerge and one could build an in house stack to handle most everything I'm sure, just increase your monthly as they add services.

How cute - you think that "long covid" is something specific to covid-19.

One thing that covid-19 has shown is that the public health community hasn't bothered to work on flu since the 1940s, even though it kills 35-75k Americans a year and has so for decades if not longer.

You remember the flu. It's an essential part of the "you have to give us lots of money so we're ready for something like the Spanish flu" and yet, when covid-19/sars2 came long (a couple of years after sars1), "we" didn't know anything useful about coronavirus transmission.

One of the "Spanish Flu" stories told by the public health community is that one of the major outbreaks happened when a city had a parade to celebrate "beating" the flu. So, guess what the public health community said was a good thing during height of the pandemic. (To be fair, only the parades and demonstrations that the PHC liked were safe.)

Of course, the public health community's first instinct is to lie. They started with "masks aren't necessary for ordinary people" and then pivoted even though there was no new data either way. (And there's also the whole "vaccines can't be delivered in a year" thing.)

Note that the pre-Covid recommendation from WHO was no masks and no general lockdowns, but instead, "protect vulnerable subpopulations", which we knew at the beginning. Contrast that with what the public health community talked about. And no, there wasn't new data.
We've trained society to believe they are bringing in some form of enlightenment and all who disagree with the orthodoxy portrayed by popular media are quite literally evil and held with contempt. We've banned, censored, demonetized and ostracized people who disagree by finding even the most minuscule lapses of political correctness and excommunicating them from the public sphere or our own personal communities. We are training the youth (children books to graduates) that politics and culture are black and white (sometimes quite literally...), that people are divided into oppressed vs oppressors, privileged vs victims, good vs evil, activists vs status quo, rich vs poor.

There is nothing you can do at this point on an individual level in 90% or more of interactions where you are in a political or social disagreement with someone using good faith communication without it being used to crucify you and be seen as naive, uninformed or apathetic. People have not arrived to their own opinions based on good faith communication or information, they have found themselves there through over socialization, indoctrination, bullying, media bombardment, and fear of not being part of the in-group that they are told are on the right side of history - and so they can only operate on that level of thought and "reasoning". Entitled "activists" and cultural busy bodies aren't going to suddenly find a viewpoint that has been deemed to them by authoritative figures (professors, celebrities, peer group majorities) as the views of an "SJW", "Nazis", "Fascists", "Rednecks", or "Libtards" as a suddenly viable option without suffering massive cognitive dissonance and you showing humility for/steelmanning their opinions will not change that, it will only further cement things for them if they are even listening and not just waiting for you to finish in order to pop the cork off their next manufactured talking point.

Back in August of 2021 I started tracking my headaches. I was experiencing 10+ debilitating migraines a month and had modified a number of variables in effort to reduce them (sleep, stress, water/caffeine intake, etc).

In September I got a blood panel from my GP and noticed low levels of essential vitamins. In October, I had 12 migraines. I started supplements for B12, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, etc. The migraines decreased each month: in November to 9, then 3, then 1. In February I had my first migraine free month in years.

Neurology is complicated. Migraines/headaches can be caused by a variety of factors. I chose to rule out things in my control (diet, exercise, stress, sleep, and finally vitamins) before taking daily use migraine medicine.

Cryptoverse: 10B reasons Bitcoin could become a reserve currency
Limiting the production of oil in any sense is going to increase the price. Biden has said no more drilling on public land and imposed new regulations on pollution.

https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/future/crude%20oil%20-...

Here we can see the price of oil futures going back a few years. We can see they start an upward trend once Biden gets into office. and long before the Ukraine conflict.

There are two parts of this, what Biden has done, and what people fear he might do.

There is a trade off between using goods now, and using them later. The higher the return for using them later, the higher the return for using them now has to be in order to justify consuming it.

If Biden says, no more drilling on public land, you are right, that would not impact supply immediately, but it would impact the expected supply and price of oil in the future. Which means that in order for the oil to be consumed now, the price has to be higher.

If you add to that the expected regulations to come in the future, further restricting or taxing fossil fuel use, it pushes this even higher.

So because it is expected that the price of oil will be more expensive in the future, both because of what Biden has done already, and because of what he has promised to do, then the price of oil has to increase now. Do you understand what I'm trying to convey?

FURTHER EXPLANATION

Let's say you have 10 barrels of oil to sell. You can sell those barrels now for $100 dollars, or you can sell them in a year for $200 dollars.

The more the price of oil in the future increases, so too does your incentive to wait to sell.

In response to this, the price of oil has to increase in the present, to compete with the prices promised in the future.

So if the future price rises to $250, the present price might increase to $130 in order to incentivize producers to sell now, rather than wait for higher returns in the future.

What Biden has done is send signals that in the future, the supply of oil will be lower, and the price higher, which incentivizes producers to wait for those higher returns, which as a result increases the prices now, in order to compete.
