I don't know that you can fix this. This is what people want. They need to feel like they've researched and made intelligent decisions, even when they haven't. After all, doctors aren't in it to make them feel better, it's all just some big conspiracy to make them more money (sarcasm).

My wife is an oncology surgeon and it's absolutely mindblowing the things her patients tell her or later post on Facebook. One of her latest winners is someone that flew cross country to California to get things like 3D Bio-Scans.

3D you say? That sounds useful. It's a 3D image of you, your cancer, your organs, etc, right? No. I'm taking this straight from their website:

> It has four FDA-approved technologies in one: Pulse Oximetry, Body Composition, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and Galvanic Skin Response Devices;

Not a damn one of those is going to tell you anything about cancer. And then there's thermagrams, where they basically check your skin temperature to try and diagnose internal medicine, like cancer, colitis, gluten allergies, etc. And people just buy this shit up.

It really just reminds me of Steve Jobs' quote on television:

When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.

London (Central East) Rent is 17% of my after-tax income. Bills are harder to calculate, but probably another 5%.

You can set up your own email server. There isn't anything to "fix" (unless you can "fix" all the spammers) but does require setting up SPF in your DNS and it helps to support DKIM/DMARC. Also, your internet provider / VPN host likely blocks port 25; if that is the case, you need to use a "smart host" email relay service.

I don't believe they've stopped manufacturing the parts (or ran out of stock) since they're still able to "repair" those devices out of warranty at a huge premium.
That YouTube link says that it's available to viewers, and I've certainly seen it before. Perhaps there's some A/B testing still going on?
Absolutely incredible. Being able to order a legitimate new OEM iPhone display is an absolute gamechanger for self repair. I've replaced countless screens for myself over the years, and it is literally impossible to get a genuine OEM digitizer without cannibalizing another phone.
Currently, living in an upscale townhouse in DFW suburbs, 10% of our combined income goes to mortgage and HOA.

Looking for single family residence since we have kids now, and it seems if we want to live in similar upscale neighborhood with good schools, we will need to put 25% towards mortgage & HOA. 2 years ago, it would have been only 12-15%.

For scan heavy apps columnstores will be much much faster. For simple CRUD apps that just want to read/write a few rows at a time (with high concurrency) they have a number of inefficiencies vs a rowstore.

- Columnstore often don't support indexing at all (or have
weak support for it). This means a scan is needed to find
any row (with min/max or segment elimination to avoid
opening up files with no matching rows at all). Even if
this scan is very fast, its still going to use up more CPU
then an index seek.

- Most columnstores don't use compression schemes that are
incremental. To grab a single row the columnstore likely
decompresses many adjacent rows (could be millions of rows
- depends on the particular columnstore).

- Most columnstores don't support fine grained locking
(row level locking). They often lock the entire table or
an entire segment (millions?) of rows whenever a single
row is written to. This damages concurrency.

- The row reconstruction costs are high (gluing the
columns back together)

We have a SingleStoreDB paper in this years SIGMOD that goes into these implementation details (not publicly published just yet). The columnstore in SinglestoreDB is reasonably good at OLTP without sacrificing its OLAP performance (see some benchmarking results here: https://www.singlestore.com/blog/tpc-benchmarking-results/).
I'm not a huge podcast consumer, but definitely my favourite ones that I've listened to are carefully scripted and edited down so that they feel tight and content-dense. I lose patience with ones that feel like a talk show, especially if it's more than 2 people having a meandering conversation with each other, cutting off and interrupting, etc.

That kind of content is okay live, especially in a venue like a Twitch stream where you can actually participate in the mayhem. But as a recording? I end up just changing to something else.
Does anyone know of EU based alternatives to the above?
That's exactly what those mobile phone repair shops do right now (I worked in one for a few years). We would offer to dispose of the device for you free of charge/recycle old devices, and break them down for parts.
I think that's mostly true, but there's some other factors that are pretty significant:

- Down payments are pretty hard to come up with on a $1m property

- A lot of the time you're competing with developers willing to pay cash

Both of these things are very true here in DC's housing market, and I've heard similar things from friends in other more-or-less-urban/near-suburban places.
You certainly /can/ self host. I've been self hosting my own email since circa 1999 on my home internet link. I've been through four different ISP's in the ensuing 22 years, but email still flows.

What often happens is that virtual hosting firms (Linode, Digital Ocean, etc.) are often used by spammer's for their hosting too, and so if you try to host by renting a "cloud vm" or "cloud server" and are unlucky to have an IP address a spammer previously poisoned, or just happen to be in the same netblock as a prior spammer, you find your new IP often 'blocked' from the big services, for no good reason than you happen to be from a "bad neighborhood". And this is usually the genesis for all the scary stories about "can't self host".

But reality is, you can self host, but you do have to set things up with all the modern requirements (SPIF, DKIM, etc.) as well.
This is what everyone consistently misses. Many people seem to approach shortage and price increases as if we're suddenly running out of something. What no one really addresses is population has more than doubled in the same time period and that consumption of goods and resources has increased per person as well.

> I heard a stat on a podcast that said the vast majority (maybe 2/3?) was unspent, so it seems unlikely this is a major driver.

Having unspent money ripe to be spent seems like it should be considered a significant driver. Spending a little bit more here and a little bit more there is seen as no big deal when your bank account is flush.
> failed to acknowledge that it would give more power to the most powerful.

I highly disagree with that. Limits on free speech has always the goal consolidate power or having the prerogative of interpretation. Musk is an exception here and it isn't even clear how serious he means it. He will comply with laws and maybe do a snarky tweet. How terrible... Maybe he forces users to identify themselves and milk them dry. Who knows? Maybe he becomes a ascetic and donates all his riches to the preservation of penguins.

But restricting speech is a tool of the powerful because nobody else could restrict it in the first place. I don't know how these contradictory ideas are even able to spread...

Economic regulation on the other hand is entirely different here of course...

Actually, this is what efforts are attempting to shift in the industry. It goes by the name "value based care" and is a better solution.
I've written real time (stock exchange like) web applications in the 90s using Java Applets (also ActiveX for IE browser). Before that I wrote even simpler one (no Applets or ActiveX) as it has relied on server push which was supported by Netscape browser only and it had a bit less functionality. On back end I just wrote custom webserver.
Taxis in my areas are a municipally regulated monopoly on fare-for-(uncontracted)-hire services.

There are a lot of reasons why they devolved to the level of service that we associated with them:

1) lack of competition

2) internally there is no reward for excellent service

3) as a regulated industry, the internal players will try to stretch the margins to make it more profitable to address either a) greed, b) actual operational needs--cash only, "my terminal is offline", fake terminals, tourist routes

Most of this points to failings with how the models are implemented:

- diffuse reward system that doesn't account for fare-taker's feedback

- slow, high-effort negotiation modification to a) fares, b) license / medallion holder needs, c) driver's needs, d) fare-taker's needs and feedback

Consider the differences between Uber and Taxi:

1) feedback is tied directly to driver and passengers

2) feedback is instant

3) Uber dictates pricing and can do so based on a regional, time, legal games, and overall load basis on a low latency regional authority's direction (one person could make that decision based on their local knowledge of upcoming concerts and NFL games, or the status of their application for licensing with the city)

4) individual drivers are now the liability / cost holding party

One thing that I think should be in your mind is "who is losing in either model and why?"

I've been self-hosting email for about 20 years, from a dedicated server in Europe. The server hardware has been replaced a couple of times but kept its IP.

If you set everything up right, and choose the host for your mail server carefully, and never change IP, after a fairly short time you won't have much problem with being marked as spam. No more so than with any other email host.

As is so often the case, the people that say you should never do it probably have little relevant experience, they are just repeating something they heard.
I don't know if there really has been a clinically relevant
antibiotic with actual use in the real world discovered in
the last 20 years in such circumstances.

It's difficult to know if this is because we've exhausted nature's supply of antibiotics, or if we haven't found any because we haven't been looking.

Over the past 10-20 years there have been many articles about how pharma companies have largely abandoned the quest for better antibiotics in favor of more profitable lines of medicine.

As a total outsider, I have no way to judge which one is true.
At the moment, about 46% of net, but I take the mortgage and utilities and my fiancee does food expenses, saves, and invests the rest of our joint income. The leftover is further saving or spending money, mostly.

How does that work? If you run selinux without a policy, you also get no type transitions and no file labels. That means that after a week, you only have a list of things your system does, with every action coupled to the init_t domain (or possibly even kernel_t), and file access targeted at unlabeled_t (unmanaged_t?).

At the bare minimum, you need a base policy that already contains separate type contexts for each of your services, file contexts to apply to the service daemon binaries, and type transitions so that each service gets run in its proper context. If your daemons run in the wrong context, then immortalizing that in policy with e.g. audit2allow only deepens the swamp you're in.

I don't think there's any practical way to build an selinux policy from scratch by just running your system and recording it, even if the tools allow you to do that. You can only start from your OS' reference policy or indeed write the initial base policy by hand.

I have electrical heating, so until the summer there's no such thing as wasted electricity.

Many people struggle to understand this concept. In some climates and energy grids, switching from things like incandescent to LED causes a greater environmental impact. It may shift (and may have already) as LED production gets more efficient.
As the other response is somewhat condescending — and as the usual utility of money calculation is log($), your example numbers would normally suggest the second difference is greater than the first — I think you may find it more useful to ask yourself what you can do with 10B that you can’t do with 1M.

Sure, there are plenty of nice big houses that cost more than 1M, but you’re not off by much, and the first million makes a massive difference, including being able to talk to the bank rather than being escorted out by security.

But: anything over about 100M, the only difference the number makes is which company you get to own because that’s the only[0] thing people sell at that price… and at that level you get the money as a way to keep track of the score of how well you’re running them.

To be fair, if I go up a level and look at the other sneakers they sell, they do have some models that aren't as ugly as that.

I've heard the same thing on a recent NPR Planet Money podcast: No Shortage of Labor Stories (Dec 2021): https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1065332194

Employers were saying they're desperate to hire, and there are plenty of people applying and not getting hired. It makes no sense. I hear more and more of these mismatched supply-demand anecdata. I can only conclude that there are not honest conversations around hiring; that is, the real requirement for the job is not being conveyed, or at least written down or said out loud. Like you said, if an employer such as Tim Horton has a desperate need for labor but is turning down large number of applicants, the labor being asked for is not being proffered at the wage being paid, and the alternative (not filling the position and then complaining that you can't help) is better than hiring. That is the only reasonable conclusion I can draw.

Explain more as to why you think so
The problem is that spam was/is so bad that extreme measures were taken to curb it. There are all kinds of invisible forces that you abutt that can be difficult to figure out, such as IP blacklists and the like. And even if you set everything up properly and host your email with a responsible host, Microsoft will still mark your mail as spam.

I host my own email server with Vultr on an OpenBSD VM using OpenSMTPD and Dovecot, relaying all outbound mail through SMTP2Go (their free tier more than meets my needs). I have all of the necessary DNS entries set to mark my mail as legit, and I sign all outgoing mail using strong 2048-bit RSA keys. Thus far, I'm able to send mail and not have it marked as spam (at least to everyone that I've corresponded with thus far). It was a lot of work to get to that point, but not terrible.
Very interesting. While I disagree with the implementation details, you do bring up a great point I completely missed. Embedding electronics into these would be trivial, thus enabling some form of smart communication removing the need for discreet amps and removing most of the labor involved in installation.

Careful what you wish for ...

In Germany, this thinking has let to one of two things: mandatory smart meters, which may spy on you, and require an Internet connection. Beefing up the cost by a factor of, idk, a lot.

My local provider (luckily) has opted to install "semi smart" meters right before the smart meter became mandatory. Those do not need Internet connectivity (and thus, are only somewhat more expensive than the old ones). The "semi smart" part is, they allow renters to read some power consumption figures. How, you ask? do you press a button? Ask again. The meter has an encapsulated (notoriously shitty) photo diode. You need to flash a code with a flashlight to it! Only then will it display the power figures for the last week on the LCD display. Madness.

In the same vein, landlords will soon be required to provide a monthly overview of heating costs, e.g. by email. Guess who pays dearly for this service with no choice? Renters.

Bottom line: Those of us who are already on top of costs get expensive, mandatory and ultimately useless services. Those who didn't care about running the heater while the window is open probably won't care still.

On the other hand, maybe when you're that big you've already covered the low-hanging fruits (and so did your competitors) and now need even more?
Not everything is “fixable” in health and sometimes this means that there isn’t one “right” choice for treatment. Involving the patient in the decision making process is important because people have preferences for what is right for them and their life and the doctor can act as a well informed partner in care.

I have multiple sclerosis. There’s not a cure but there is highly effective medication. There’s also less effective medications. The highly effective stuff is various degrees of immunosuppressive or has a risk of fatal brain infection that is manageable with proper testing and monitoring. The less effective stuff can seem “safer” because it lacks these particular risks. A regular neurologist might not know very much at all and give outdated advice and treatment plans compared to some specialists and for this reason advocating for oneself is hugely important as long term outcomes can be greatly different based on the treatment choices. The fact is that you can’t just let “medicine happen to you” because the person that cares the most about your medical outcomes is you. Obviously this is an extreme example but it’s one of many.
