Well, in this current system everyone (excepting those who choose to opt out and pay a fine instead) receives a basic level of coverage - it's definitely not perfect and it has issues, I'm not going to argue against that. In the 90s and early 2000s it was much easier to bankrupt yourself due to extremely unlucky life events - but if insurance was prohibited you'd be unable to access care so instead of losing your house you'd lose your life.

I think I laid that out pretty clearly in the prior comment, is there some part of it that's unclear?

Neurodiversity is probably aligned with that but I suspect a lot of people are just not self aware, never learned to communicate in a political environment.

A neurodiverse, even introverted kid who went to private school then Ivy League, and had 'a lot of money / no fears' growing up ... probably will have been socialized in the political sense.

Grow up in a small town or the burbs, people are 'judgy' about some stuff, but not anything complicated or nuanced.

I'd pay $6 a month for actual informative content, but have you ever actually watched cable news for an extended amount of time? It's mostly just inane blathering and repeating the same thing over and over. They just don't have more than 30 minutes worth of information to share each day, but they stretch it to 24 hours. If they upped the information content, lowered the emotional appeal, and just covered a whole lot more I bet they could boost their audience...

> what, a hundred lines? A couple hundred? You have to deal with different repos for different distros, I expect, adding repositories for deps that aren't in the distro repo, any number of weird edge cases

Well, here is where I must thank you. Thank you for replying to me, and giving me a real reason to look at this ecosystem.

My personal deployment script is really just one SCP command - it copies the new version of my statically-built blog to my server. The web server comes with the OS, and that's all I need.

But when I read "hundred lines? A couple hundred?" I realized my company has a script fitting that bill. There might be an opportunity for improving it. While I am still somewhat skeptical, because using Kubernetes instead of that script might still not be worth it long-term for a 7-person company (of which 3 devs and one sysadmin), I will check out its capabilities.

> in so doing you may find yourself better able to inform your objections.

Thank you for the patience to follow up, in spite of my arrogance. I might just come up with an improvement somewhere. Certainly we're a long way from a billion in ARR - I am thankful for your valuable time, and wish you continued and further success!
It’s absolutely soul-crushing to see the software market warped by broken store models. Legitimate developers can’t seem to convince people to pay anywhere near enough to sustain a business, and meanwhile scammers get millions.
Inflation will kill Americans. It may kill more Americans than Ukrainians due to the war. That's hard to say but inflation has a strong correlation with increased mortality rates.
I have an app, that I sell with App Store (OpenIn). So the Openly used to be called OpenIn Pro. Only because this app looked like a fraud, I submitted a trademark violation. The author of the app replied with a lot of confidence, that I was attacking their company, etc. But they have changed the name to Openly at the end.

My complain was that this app definitely have a lot of fake reviews, and my guess by being free they can generate a lot of downloads to keep it in top of the app store. And you can see a few of bad reviews, where some people actually purchased the app via in-app-purchases. And the name of my app brings traffic to the app store, and they use it in their advantage.

He called it false accusations. That they trust apple reviews, and that apple take it seriously. And a lot of well written text protecting themselves.

He was referring also to the head of legal department that they might take actions against me for false accusations.

Anyway, after that I just downloaded their apps and submitted concerns about legitimacy of their apps. That did not do anything.

I am surprised that those apps exist. Feel like they are 100% scam. My only guess is that somehow the people from review team know those developers and somehow let them to be on app store. Considering how hard sometimes to pass the review, that is the only explanation I have.
I really wish people in the US, left or right, did not moralize issues like states' response to covid-19. Instead, use numbers and analysis instead.
This isn't how it works. If you actually pull down one of their multihop configurations - you'll see:

- the WireGuard public key for server 2

- the IP address for server 1

- a unique port for server2 on server 1

So all they're doing is a standard iptables redirect to the second host (which may or may not itself be under a WireGuard tunnel).

No, the correct conclusion is "I don't know". There is no real evidence one way or the other. Their unfounded speculation about human nature is just as plausible as yours. In the interview you can generate a hypothesis, not a conclusion.

This reminds me of the "why are manhole covers round" question, where people are judged by their ability to come up with clever wrong answers.
Oh to reminisce about the adventures from the days when it all began. One could power on the PC and go make breakfast all the while a script executes after boot to "dial up" the wan. From the kitchen one listened to the audible feedback of the process as the spinning disk clattered and then the dopamine rush hits as the modem is dialing up, hoping the modem pool was not overloaded. Bbs, Irc, war dialing, AOL hax, NetZero punts and all the great fun is where several nerds found their calling, this nerd included. Some things have changed for the better while some things have changed for the worse yet here we are connecting everything, secure or not.

> the suffering that their policies are causing

Not sure what policies you're talking about here? Most of the current inflation drive is (1) a spike to petroleum markets which is impacting shipping speculation (you handwave it away, but yes: this is the biggest current factor), (2) the reheating of the consumption economy in the wake of the pandemic, (3) the slower ramping of the production economy to compensate (c.f. chip shortage), (4) the tail end of the pandemic savings boom caused by in hindsight very generous temporary benefits.

Of those factors, only one is an issue of US government policy. And it was wildly popular, almost 100% bipartisan, and passed during the prior administration.

To wit: in your horror that the Biden administration would blame inflation on Putin, you seem to be rushing to blame inflation on the Biden administration with even less justification! It's topical right now because of a discussion yesterday, but... basically, I'm not completely convinced your argument is being made in Good Faith.
i had it as Mac's but changed it because I knew something offended people honestly didn't know which
I agree. I'm really sick of Apple's handling of their App Store. It's been nearly 14 years and the only app distribution models Apple permits are pay once (with possible IAP), free with IAP, and subscription. Still no ability for developers to provide paid upgrades or "active subscription gives you updates" models. I think Apple has done more than anyone to turn software into a rental business where every calendar and to-do app now needs its own subscription. I love using the payment and subscription management systems in iOS - it's much better than many bespoke systems - but it's not worth having to put up with their subscription-philia.
The best critic is Critical Drinker on YouTube
> most professional critics have to review every single movie

This isn't true. Quite far from it, in fact. Manohla Dargis at the NY Times, for example, averages only about 2 reviews per week. There are many more releases than that. Peter Travers at Rolling Stone does even fewer. Same with Justin Chang at the LA Times. Etc, etc.

IMO, the explanation is going to be multifactorial. Your "correct conclusion" probably explains some of the gap as critics are still obligated to review the prestige releases (even if they aren't necessarily interested in seeing them). But surely also does the divergence between the tastes of professional movie watchers and Joe Moviegoer explain the gap.

What's interesting is that in over-indexing on one bias, you've probably introduced another into your own hiring process. It does seem as though picking people who are careful, independent thinkers could still yield good hires. In the end, if you get a good candidate, who cares? I'd rather be right for the wrong reasons than just being wrong.
Given the timelines I can't see how Biden is even 10% at fault. The previous administration started trade wars which began to blow up supply chains even prior to the pandemic. They also increased the deficit during a time of economic growth when they should have been trying to decrease it. So if anything I would break down the blame like this: The Fed: 60% (for QE and keeping rates too low for way too long), Previous admin: 20% (trade wars, increasing deficits when they should've been working on reducing them), Putin 15% (for invading Ukraine), Biden admin (maybe 5%, but even that is probably a bit high)
> And the Fed is supposed to be independent, free from political control, to keep the politicians from meddling in the economy.

No, the Fed is supposed to be relatively isolated from short-run political influence to put a step of separation between government fiscal policy targeting the economy (the responsibility of Congress) from monetary policy affecting the currency (the responsibility of the Fed) except to the extent that the former effects the landscape that the latter targets, to maintain confidence in the currency by making monetization of debt unlikely.

This is very much not to prevent the elected officials of government from intervening in the economy. If anything, it frees them to do so, because the barrier against monetization of debt not only protects the currency, it protects policymakers from the perception that deficits will likely be resolved with monetization, which is a brake on fiscal policy that involves deficit spending.
1. 25 years ago a 28.8k modem and Cyrix 486 with 8mb ram on AOL had better end-user performance than today’s most popular web apps. There is still no mass-market equivalent to the appeal of those chat rooms. Technology will never defeat latency bloat of tracking hooks.

2. The anonymous or weakly pseudonymous internet was a superior user experience. It felt like an escape to freedom, similar to traveling to another country with chosen friends. The strong identity internet feels like surveillance more than escape. It leads me to believe that ‘the metaverse’ will always suck, not matter how good the technology gets.

3. What killed AOL? They had two separate generations of internet dominance, first the entire stack, and then with messenger after the ISP disruption. A company that can lead a massive growth industry, and then pivot to a successful product after their own disruption seems like a solid blue chip. I know what happened, they started focusing on old incompetent subscribers by giving them a familiar interface poorly replicated on the browser. But how? Who thought this was a good idea?
According to another article they arrested / detained several other people during this bust. I am guessing an inside agent got them to meet up. Only Coelho was stupid enough to have his devices unlocked / easily scoured. Using his admin email didn't help. Who even does that? Even my 75 year old mom knew to use her trash email for signing up for crap.
This guy was under the impression that what he was doing wasn’t illegal.

IANAL but the fact that he is being charged with access device fraud might suggest that DOJ had to engage in some mental gymnastics in order to charge this. E: I’ll take that back since I actually read the indictment now, besides the usual raidforums fare he was also selling credit card data which would very much tend to attract access device fraud charges.
Actually, you're spot on. They started doing these style of splash pages a few years after hacking groups did.
For audio DSP in a Qt app I have good success with using a lock-free queue (e.g. https://github.com/cameron314/readerwriterqueue) to communicate from / to the UI threads. Code more-or-less looks like

connect(model, &ModelObject::somethingChanged, [=] {
// knead the data structures used for the UI-side data model into something much simpler
// used for the audio engine
audioQueue.push([... data ...] { update the engine with the new data });
});

and conversely from the engine to the UI thread ; Qt signals do not cut it as emitting them allocate, if only a few bytes. (Doing it naively with std::function doesn't cut it either - I use this instead to store these functions: https://github.com/jcelerier/smallfunction/blob/master/small... ; also, the audio threads feeds back those functions into the main thread after their execution so that any memory owned by the lambda ends up being freed here and not in the audio thread.)

Regardless of what you want, you will almost certainly catch a SARS-CoV-2 infection eventually (and perhaps multiple times). The virus is endemic and highly contagious so avoiding it is impractical. You might have already been infected without knowing it because many carriers never develop clinical COVID-19 symptoms. Fortunately the vaccines and other treatments are pretty effective at preventing deaths.

I would prefer the burden of proof lie on those who seek to use systemic violence to extract money (taxes) from others to fund these programs. Violence should always be justified, so I'd like to see the evidence that providing benefits that allow being shoved in a room with 6+ kids per overworked stranger is better off than more individualized care by a parent.

" it just means your important jazz doesn't have the value you ascribe to it" that's one hell of a stretch.

Failure by a broader audience to understand a genre (or only want to casually consume one part of it passively) doesn't invalidate it's canon. By that measure Kenny G should have usurped John Coltrane as the saxophonist of note, and by any standard except coffee shop and elevator back ground noise he's done no such thing.

The war in Ukraine is a fundamental driver of inflation.

The other is COVID hangover from money printing and screwed up supply chain.

It's perfectly responsible to highlight the factors that are driving it.

It's perfectly fair populism.

They do have their own biases, but the dynamic is more conservative that hates the direction the GOP is going in (Saagar) and liberal progressive who is not a fan of the Democratic establishment (Krystal). As such neither one hesitates to call out what they disagree with for both Republicans and Democrats.

They have an optional subscription service that is doing extremely well. CNN should have consulted them for how to set up their premium service, because they have it figured out. Most of their content is free to the public in segments, but you get an unedited full stream unlisted Youtube link if you pay (plus some extra back and forth commentary), as well as bonus segments every week that are unlisted as well.

Being independent also makes it so they're not afraid to speak their mind about things either.

There's a few things they like to cover repeatedly that I really don't care about personally, and I don't always agree with their views on certain issues, but there's always a few things I like to hear their take on.

Much has been made about the Russian oil & gas situation and how it affects the prices of every product or service produced downstream of it.

Here's something you might not know. Russia produces 86 billion tons of wheat, Ukraine 25 billion tons of wheat annually. Only China produces more. The yellow in Ukraine's flag symbolizes wheat, it's that important. Much of Russia's wheat has been cut and 100% of Ukraine's wheat shipments have been cut from the world supply. Several countries get almost all their wheat from one of Russia or Ukraine. Not only are their prices skyrocketing, but famine is inevitable. It is coming. Inflation is only the beginning. Famine is the oncoming train, and people have the balls to complain about prices. Just wait. Those countries are going to try and buy US or Canadian wheat, driving up prices yet again.

You're free to complain about politics, but war is now the primary driver of inflation, whether you believe it's politically correct or not.

Besides that, I just turn off the news spigot. I'm slowly coming to the realization that watching news was kind of becoming my version of watching reality TV shows. There is of course value in being informed but outside of that, a single person can't meaningfully take action on all the things being reported on. So I see less and less reason to keep up with the news besides just being generally informed.

I think a better way to consume news might be to get a few "general" news tidbits through your regular news outlets. And then get more focused news on topics you personally care about and are willing to take action on through non-traditional news outlets.
