Not seeing how that graph suggests shelter is the biggest story. Shelter looks linear since Feb 2021, but only caught up to pre-pandemic levels around Nov/Dec 2021, and while linear since then falls FAR behind energy, food, basically everything else incl the aggregate. A few months of linear shelter prices doesn't register as a meaningfully different trend than the rest of the basket that's been booming this winter, just that shelter would be more time delayed and smoothed0out due to leases coming up.

Besides, this does not solve the capture bit, which is also a significant challenge, in similar ways (we have ideas about technologies, thermodynamics do not work in our favour, it would still require radical policies for it to work).

Nobody is going to wave their magic wand and make fossil fuels illegal anytime soon. It is a common techno-euphoria trap: technology is the easy bit, and we’re not there yet on that front. Policy is the struggle after that, and it is much more difficult.
Perhaps, I'll think about that a bit more. I think I was seeing it more as me using theorizing as a defense mechanism to avoid opening up emotionally and connecting with my friend on a deeper level. I've noticed in my life that I can often dive deeper into theory, hypothetical situations, and general philosophy as way to distance myself from how I'm actually feeling in the moment and from saying that to others.
It's also possible for critics to have systematically different preferences than movie-goers that don't deserve to be described pejoratively as "out of touch" or "snobby." In fact, that's precisely what I would expect and hope to see from people who are professional critics. I wouldn't want expect a list of best restaurants from a food critic to be identical to the list of top restaurant chains by revenue (1: McDonalds, 2: Starbucks, etc.).

I’m wondering how this compares to Apple’s iCloud Private Relay.

Mullvad is trying to increase their transparency and make sure users can trust them which is great. But would there be a way for them to make it so that users do not have to trust them? What if the second server was hosted by another entity?
I would look at the strict lockdown as a difference in governing philosophy. Politicians who do things like that in the US put their political career at risk, because they risk losing votes.

Unless Russia can overwhelm the Ukraine defenses in one massive battle, victory is all but assured. They failed to do so in the first attack and now the west is pouring ressources into the Ukraine. As long as the west is willing to do so, the Ukraine might actually have a better supply perspective, not counting even the embargo cutting Russia off a lot of supplies.

After all, that Russia managed to defend itself against the Germans in WW2 had a lot to do with the supplies it got from the US.

I've found their apps to be (subjectively) higher quality than most OpenVPN clients on platforms I care about (macOS, iOS, Windows). It's nice to have a consistent UI, and not have to think or care about specific profiles — it's easy for me to jump between servers much more easily (I typically connect relatively locally, but occasionally find that certain out IP addresses have been blacklisted from specific sites; it's trivial to "refresh" the connection to hop over to a different server and not have to think about it).

And, of course, easier (for me) to set up and configure. Maybe no _huge_ incentive to switch over to it if your setup works, but might be worth trying out if you're curious.

Are film critics losing sync with the average person who actually goes outta their way to rate movies on IMDB?
Fair point, it's categorically true that no critic watches every single movie released and I definitely overstated that. A brief search on Statista indicates that about 700 movies are released a year, the average American sees 2.3 movies a year (in theaters), and professional critics review over 200 movies a year, some even review 300.

I maintain that given this disparity (2.3 movies a year versus 200 a year) my point still stands, critics will tend to watch movies regardless of any predisposition towards them whereas an audience member will be much more discriminating about which 2.3 movies they will pay to see.
I'm not sure what you think the word "distributed" means.
Has the author just not heard of Jitterbit or Mulesoft?

Tangential rant - I feel like there is this group of 20-somethings that just assume that because they haven't heard of companies like SAP, Oracle, etc. that they just dismiss them as being dumb and boring and then when they analyze a problem space. Yet have no idea how a company like P&G operates at a global scale (hint - they use software like SAP). Jitterbit and Mulesoft essentially sit in that space.

P.S. - Pipedream is a super interesting model, but it's not an unbundling play.

Maybe. But with employer provided benefits that comes at a cost to the employer. Thats why its a benefit and a part of a compensation package. (IE: you work for us and we pay you x, give you x in retirement and subrogate x on these healthcare initiatives).

If i am freeing the employer of that burden....should that not reflect back on my compensation? Surely you dont mean the employer should then be able to save more and basically lower their compensation for employees and expect the same return?

There are plenty of packages on the open market that are generally better than what an employer offers. But you are essentially making extra sacrifices by opting out with no benefit to you and all the benefit of the company.

It would make more sense for a company to even offer a HSA where they contribute as much as they would to a plan to a savings account and allow the employee to also contribute their share pre-tax. And apply that to plans available on the open market.

Except he does. Sure he is not holding a dial labeled "inflation", but he led a tsunami of poorly thought out policy, wasteful spending, and virtue-signalling.

Even if you lay aside how he was actively demonizing O&G before winning the election, his first action as POTUS was literally to cancel an oil pipeline. Transport costs are a factor in oil prices, you cannot pretend they aren't.

I graphed the difference in years amongst men and women using good ol' fashioned awk and free graphing software:

https://imgur.com/a/3b1KrD7

It looks like at around age 18 - 30ish, the numbers start catching up, with a sharper reduction in expectancy differences happening around age 35.

From the PRB:

"Men are three times as likely as women to die from injuries (unintentional injuries, suicide, or homicide), and progress against those causes of death has been much slower than against other causes in the last 50 years. There is also evidence that men at all ages are less likely to seek medical care and less likely to comply with medical instructions than are women."

This is even worse thought out, and really demonstrates a real lack of understanding of how the world works. Oh how humans work. You're one of us, and equally complicit as any human live today. So, maybe, rather than being this unearned smugness, you come up with an answer. Any idiot can identify the challenges, and shit on something.

Las Vegas exists, as do many other desert cities. So, this point makes no sense. Humans, harness the physics of the world around us, to shape our futures.

The problem isn't cars, it's capitalism.
btw to be clear, I don't think that the increase in money supply has had zero impact. I think it's actually a key part. Folks saved a bunch of money - to your point, invested it in the stock market - and then when restrictions lifted, they went out and bought stuff. This spike in demand contributed to inflation, no doubt, and it was in part created by new money.
I'm not sure that the alternative - at least from the Fed's perspective - of allowing the US to enter a deflationary spiral in 2020 would have done us better.

I also think that these issues are transient, and caused by a very poor transition out of COVID lockdowns and into normalcy. It's taking longer than I thought to resolve, but I do think that not taking too much dramatic action and letting the market sort it out is the path forward.

> It also suggests a possible solution

Is there a problem? The so-called global conversation concern seems to be simply that some people have differing feelings and their feelings push them to want others to share in the same feelings. To 'solve' for those feelings of some implies that their feelings are of greater importance than the feelings or others, but that seems pretty wishy-washy.

Think of rETL as an on-demand data lake that doesn't actually store any data (for the most part).

Yeah you can pull data and create snapshots to preserve views, but given the direction privacy and regulatory environments have been going with user data, it's incredibly sexy to be able to not have to dump data in yet another data warehouse just to use a new tool.
> audience typically only goes to see movies that they are likely to enjoy

That doesn't really explain the opposite phenomenon: movies that have higher critic rating than audience rating (e.g. movies like Mulan and Turning Red come to mind). IMHO, if you were to apply that rubric across all movies, the conclusion you should get is that critics and general audiences are simply different demographics and that it is normal for discrepancies to arise from sampling different demographics, not that general audiences are more biased towards what they like to watch. For example, parents wouldn't necessarily pick kids movies as their first choice of entertainment if age appropriate-ness wasn't a consideration (I think a lot of parents can relate to being sick of replaying Frozen, for example)
So, not by the mainstream media, right? So in some circles they are portrayed in a bad light. I think it's an exaggeration to say they are (implied universally) portrayed as evil. My experience with regard to negative opinion against them is from people who have to interact with Union employees.

The accidental thing seemed implied by the article, that the changes were an act of "resistance", rather than something that was designed for.

My comment was more a criticism of the article than of Le Corbusier, whose work I mostly like (much more so than many contemporary architecture). A better article would have pointed to those 5 points, rather than simply repeating one pithy quote, which seemed to be the entire supporting evidence.
This justifies all the hours I spend on HN. :)
They're also largely ignored by the supposedly-not-conservative parts of the media. You get a very different impression of unions (mainly, that they're not very active and/or barely exist) listening to NPR, versus Democracy Now.

This seems important. Is it safe to say that inflammation (and especially excessive inflammation) is the culprit, (maybe even in general), and not that covid is particularly partial to olfactory region?
> in real terms the market is not in fact “up”

This is false [1].

> Why are other currencies even part of the discussion?

Referring to dollars by their ISO currency code is an FX convention. Given the article you're commenting on is about inflation being up, which is a more direct way of saying dollars have lost value vis-à-vis real assets, most people assumed you were (a) using the convention correctly and (b) not re-stating the headline.

I believe that with iCloud Private Relay, the second hop is a different company (Cloudflare/Akamai/Fastly). Whereas multihop offered by Mullvad and other VPN companies they own both hops which would make correlation easy for them.
I do read carefully. The truth is in the middle. Vaccines don't prevent spread, as out establishment kept insisting to get everyone vaccinated. They do decrease spread.

Managed rationally, this means:

1) Vaccines aren't a reason to reduce other precautions, if you're worried about spread.

2) They are an important part of the solution. Being outdoors doesn't stop spread. High-filtration masks, used by untrained people, don't stop spread. Vaccines don't stop spread. Combine them? R0<<1, and we're all okay.
I absolutely do go over that, I also go over Metacritic and point out that this phenomenon applies to movies, video games, music, books, and almost all review systems that segregate professional reviews with customer reviews.
Generally speaking, Qt static builds do not require a commercial license if all of the Qt libs you're using are LGPL:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#LGPLStaticVsDyn...

If you statically link against an LGPLed library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to modify the library and relink the application.

Now, for mobile apps "providing your [proprietary] application in an object format... so that a user has the opportunity to modify [Qt] and relink" might be challenging/impossible, e.g. given the nature of the iOS platform.

However, what I've found is that many devs believe that Qt static builds (for proprietary apps) are not allowed in general by the LGPL, and that's simply not true per the FSF's own FAQ. Qt's docs/marketing don't help in this regard (in my experience).
