> Cycles. They go down... they go up.

They do but the cardinal directionality has been down and to the right.

> Japan has an aging, declining population with essentially no immigration. Of course their housing prices have been essentially flat, they're experiencing a decline in household formation.

Totally! What you're describing there is the equilibrium of supply and demand. In their case, demand went down. In our case, demand is going up and we're refusing to add supply. It's the same thing. Or at least, two sides of the same coin. We're both arguing that housing prices are fundamentally - primarily - driven by supply and demand of housing, not supply of money.

> I don't disagree about zoning playing a part, but again, this is something the US President has little control over. Yes, he should probably be using the bully pulpit to support building more affordable housing, but it's not something that's going to result in a quick reduction of inflation.

This is where we disagree! We should federalize zoning rules yesterday. The federal government has the right to do this, for instance Chicago residents ability to install satellite dishes is already governed by federal law.

The risk is low for unvaccinated individuals, too. It always has been.

Within six months, the risk of a vaccinated individual approaches the risk of an unvaccinated one. That’s before considering new variants with potentially high immune escape.
>I've found that 100/100 people just get offended and/or pissed and retreat to their amygdala if you point out a fallacy in their logic.

And I am sure I've been guilty of this before, many many times. Being challenged is not a comfortable position to be in. I have since learned to weaken my position to give myself and others some leeway when one of us is wrong.

>I'm becoming increasingly convinced that good faith engagement is essentially impossible.

It is certainly getting more difficult. I think it is still useful to engage with individuals in your chosen social circle honestly and in good-faith, otherwise why are they in your circle in the first place?
I think Shepherd Smith on CNBC is generally pretty good. He definitely does some entertainment and "feel good" stories but for the most part there's less commentary and opinion than most other cable news.

"Of course people with serious depression already have major brain dysfunction and likely vulnerable to exacerbated adverse effects. Compared to normal functioning there's sharply decreased room for error."

Is there actual evidence showing that depressed individuals are more likely to suffer adverse effects?

Zapier has a large moat.

I would like to think anything you can bring to the table to compete or add value (maybe flow-based logic rules or inclusion of serverless script-level transforms similar to pipedream) could be cherry picked and added onto zapier with little stress. I'll add that it is relatively trivial to wire your own serverless function into zapier to this end. One thing lacking from the article as a niche proper webhook management (ie hookdeck).

There are many industry-niche api-interchange products out there... many predating Zapier and remaining the defacto in that industry. Think logistics, ERP and finance systems.

As much of a case that can be made for unbundling - I don't think such can be said for zapier and the breadth of moat they've created. Zapier integrations on a given SaaS usually don't hold a candle to native/direct, but they are certainly universal.

I'm very curious to hear a concrete example of a segment/industry and how it could be "unbundled", but unfortunately there is none in the article.

SOC/PCI compliance? Remember Microsoft Flow (now called Microsoft Power Automate)? Hundreds of connectors and deep integration into azure/microsoft platform... all underwritten and stamped by Microsoft's level of enterprise.

Looking at that ARR growth curve, they've certainly demonstrated the value of wide integration over deep/niche integrations.

The only argument to be made here for market displacement is that a cheaper alternative would come about offered as a loss leader by big tech, or an open data interchange standard/paradigm could come abound and disrupt the necessity of this.
Maybe ditch the NFT part and do it with actual children and you might be on to something.
Cardinality is key. You may want to ensure to invest your capitals in many startups of your choice at the same time. Predicting which startups will succeed is hard. Investing in only a few of them may not give you the desired ROI, because they may all fail before raising the next rounds of funding that would give you an exit.

> Does Congress get any blame for promising an infrastructure bill for at least a decade

Congress isn't a person or even an institution with a unitary head, and that's at least 5 separate Congresses, several of which didn't have even approximate unity between the two houses on the issue.

And most of the promises on that came from the White House, not “Congress” (as if there was anyone who could speak for “Congress” anyway.)

And Congress passed infrastructure bills in 2009, 2012, and 2015 before the one in 2021.

It's a fine line to walk and one that I don't think they can sustain for much longer.

It mainly repurposes old Soviet tanks, unless you count ten or so of the T-84. I doubt Kharkiv Armored Plant is a viable tank production facility with all the fighting that goes around Kharkiv.

Accessory after the fact:

> Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.

It’s not obvious at all that selling e.g. the leaked Linkedin database would be illegal in any way. You wouldn’t retroactively become an accessory to the original crime.

Of course, that stopped mattering the moment he started trafficking in stolen payment card information…
Maybe even more amazing:

In about 1985 Sears piloted a thing called "Electronistore." You could go into a Sears store and browse the catalog and place orders on a computer (a PC/XT) with a credit card.

The computer setup was very creative. At the time, a PC couldn't really display high quality photos, and there wasn't hard drive capacity for the photos of the Sears catalog anyhow. The solution was to make each product photo a frame on a Laserdisc. The computer was connected to a TV/Monitor that could be electronically commanded to switch inputs between the computer and the laserdisc player. The computer could command the laserdisc player to seek to a certain frame and freeze the frame.

You could browse and search the catalog, and then hit a button and it would show you the picture, then you'd hit another key and go back to the text interface for ordering.

Anyhow they ran the pilot and not too many people used it since you could just use the catalog instead which had all of the same products, so they shut it down and never really returned to e-commerce.

Yeah, Fox and CNN - at least their websites, have both become little more than he-said she-said tweet screenshots. I don't use Twitter for a reason, but now I have to see the garbage anyways.

At least Fox sometimes has recipes in the comments of Twitter news stories.
Circa 2018 I saw the main problem was "gender activists" (left leaning) who had the m.o. that they would never let you get the last word in a discussion. One of those people got in the face of a cop in San Francisco, was asked to leave, refused to, and never understood why they got arrested.

By 2020 you had what I call "beer beer" activists. You know that part about "free as in speech" vs "free as in beer?" well in their case they want "free" speech in the sense that somebody else has to pay for it. So maybe they are really just into beer. And yeah, they lean right.

By 2022 those people had gone in the direction that a free printing press wasn't enough but now it is awful that people can downvote their comments. If nothing intervened I predicted that soon these people would be complaining that we're not upvoting their comments, soon they'd be livid that we aren't clapping and grinning like idiots at everything they say.

Then the Ukraine war intervened and displaced most of the usual BS... For a while.

That's not what backwardation means. Backwardation means a recovery of supply is priced in. And we may well see those future "roll up" the curve if war continues to constrain supply. The high prices at the front of the curve are the ones we are experiencing, and they are both driving up the CPI directly (since oil is a component) and indirectly adding costs to other goods since you need actual oil, not oil futures, to undertake production.
If you handle the data programatically parseFloat will always work as expected. No good solution for native submit though :/

That's only part of it. Them focusing on the problems isn't something new really (and from a financial standpoint is "understandable", as much as we hate this because it doesn't exactly benefit society that much), but the bigger problem is the fact that very often in the last decade they seemed to either lie by omitting key facts/aspects or straight out misrepresenting a story: which is something that people have began noticing, though very recently. This is not even going into the phenomenon that some outlets began popularizing the opinion-pieces to the point that their activism about certain topics began smelling too much like propaganda. Only very recently (~2019 and so imo) they started slowing down on this, but not after noticing that their pockets began hurting a lot due to their often-disingenuous journalism. Alternative journalism has grown a lot but some flaws are still there, it's not polished. Though I always tell myself if I want the truth I have to dig for it to the source, and even if misinformation is a legitimate issue, one cannot negate the fact that it's more probable that there's some raw video/information about a story that presents truth as close as possible, and is available deep in a social network or the internet.

I did mention that it's the OP's server which I presume isn't in an autoscale group.

Even then, saving a few MBs in image size is the devops parlance of early optimisation.

There's so much that happens in an Autoscale group before the instance is marked healthy to serve traffic, that an image pull of few MBs in the grand scheme of things is hardly ever any issue to focus on.
Artsy movies are great... sometimes, and unartsy movies are also great sometimes.

Sometimes I want to watch the Seventh Seal and sometimes I want to watch Die Hard - both movies have their place but a lot of critics tend to lean strongly into arthouse movies and sell them well above their actual appeal. I think one of the hardest parts of being a genuinely good critic is being able to leave your own tastes at the door when walking into a new performance - and those tastes are generally ones that have been honed by an education in classic works. Some movies use extremely bold cinematography choices to add a lot to their work (I'd point out Sin City and Schindler's List both of which made extremely good use of high contrast black and white (mostly) filming to add heaps to the story) but then you've got so-so art-house pieces that play into those familiar tropes without delivering anything of real value.

It takes a really good critic to watch a movie they really personally enjoyed and tell everyone that it's probably not for them - please do talk about what you liked to inform like minded people - but don't give a 5/5 just because it appealed to your specific tastes.
On the other hand, Ebert followed the critical consensus and gave Freddy Got Fingered (my personal pick for funniest movie of all time) a zero star rating. This is a gross-out comedy that succeeds spectacularly at what it set out to do, but very few critics were willing to judge it by the standards of the genre. The audience scores are very polarized (currently 56% positive on RT), but critic's reviews are only at 11%.

30% isn't terrible in terms of laundering money, but chances are the App Store payout is how you're citing your income for taxes, so it's more risky than other ventures if Apple were to inform the IRS about something like "90% of this developer's revenue is via gift cards...".

As to your point about SS, you are right, but the counterfactuals have been measured. We didn't have SS in this country for the majority of its history and elder poverty was terrible prior to its existence, reaching well over 40% in the 1920's.

SS also has always been a Pay Go system and doesn't have any debt servicing, actually the reverse is true, SS is owed money from the US government. That is, SS lent the US government money. That government debt would exist with or without SS as federal government spending is not constrained in any way by tax receipts, so SS's impact here is moot.

To your point about student aid, that is far more complicated. While it is likely true that the existence of the aid has resulted in some upward pressure on tuition, it is not the only factor. Increased demand both in quantity and quality of services, reduction in direct public aid to institutions, and increasing administrative costs among other things all play a part. Without student aid, it is likely true that prices would be lower, but probably not nearly as much as one would assume, and we would have a far less educated populace. The latter being a substantial negative in a world where the best paying work is and continues to be more knowledge based.
Most employers provide far more than the minimum required health insurance.

Also the penalty for large employers is much smaller than the cost of health insurance (50% to 18% depending on individual vs group coverage), assuming that if companies didn't provide health insurance they'd pocket the difference means companies should still pay the fine.
I have eaten a zero-fiber diet for over a year (I ate 0 calories from any plant-based food source for all of 2021 -- beef, eggs, fish, and dairy was all I ate).

The one indisputable effect of a zero fiber diet is less frequent, smaller, and much "easier" bowel movements.

The idea that not having fiber in your diet leads to constipation can be completely disproven by anyone who is willing to try eating a zero-fiber diet for a few weeks.

I know how to think about UK charities, thanks mate, I am trying to offer perspective, experience and knowledge that's different to yours.

I'm a trustee of a small UK charity, I do their books, I'm in touch with lots of other trustees and in no way can these companies be run as a "slush fund for the board". The regulatory regime demands too much transparency for that to happen at any scale.

> The most popular charities in the UK spend anything between 26.2% and 87.3% of their yearly income on charitable causes, according to the best available data.
...
> Also that doesn't include accumulation of wealth in general - it's perfectly fine to sock away a billion dollars (or pounds) because in principle that money is going to go to charitable activities in the future. Sometime. But there's no legal requirement that "sometime" ever come, so it's just a slush fund.

Yes, UK charities are allowed to spend on fundraising, investment and may build up reserves. Some of those reserves might be restricted, for specific purposes even within the definition of their charitable purposes, and that needs particular accounting. But that money is absolutely locked up for their registered purposes, it can't go to personal benefits, and their boards of unpaid trustees are on the hook for mismanagement.

If they spent every pound they received on their purposes, lots of charities would cease to exist (or exist 100% on grants from other organisations). That would certainly suit a lot of simple-minded people's perspective on "what a charity should be" but it would shrink the sector to almost nothing.

(I once did data entry for Oxfam, entering direct debit donations posted to the organisation - a few angry people liked to use those appeal envelopes to protest about the fact that Oxfam advertised at all).
