>> To buy a gun in a walmart requires a background check and more thorough vetting than to buy this revolver in Poland.

Oh wow I did not know that they require this now - this is somehow amazing because You are actually providing arguments for my side of debate (according to this https://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2018/02/28/walmart-st... walmart self regulated itself despite moderate law).

In all You have few good arguments for You thing (which is I assume gun in every household?). I just do not get why anyone would want that. The idea that You can somehow defend yourself without any additional risk is pure fantasy (as they say if you take out gun better be ready to use it) - I believe that one of the greatest inventions of human kind is state/government monopoly on violence. This of course can and actually was abused many times but no implementation of idea is perfect but this does not mean that the idea itself is invalid.

And just to finish I think I must comment on this:
>> Poland is not free from violence and cities near your border are being bombed by a murderous dictator. If you want to be defenseless that's your prerogative

What kind of fantasy land are You living that You think that You can actually defend from bombardment, or tanks, or organized military units with gun? You might have seen too many action movies.
If by accident You are part of any kind of paramilitary organization that by all means - sure you can try to stop some military man coming Your way but You do not need to posses private guns for that - one armory per district is more than enough to hand out whatever You may need (as it actually was done in Ukraine - the guns were handed out after the war started).

> Greece is bankrupt

From 4 Apr 2022:

Greece has received three international bailouts from the euro zone and the IMF worth 280 billion euros ($307.19 billion) since 2010. It emerged from its latest bailout in 2018 and has relied on the debt markets to cover its borrowing needs since.

“Greece concluded today the repayment of its debts to the IMF,” Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said in a statement. After previous early repayments to the IMF, Greece owed 1.9 billion euros in loans due by 2024, the last batch of a total of 28 billion euros the Fund provided between 2010 and 2014.

This past year or two would have been prime time to do that while labor power was at an apex, but once the recession hits that opportunity will be long gone. When the trend flips back to employer power dominant then WFH will no longer be as prevalent as it has been. Not to mention the chipping away at untold amounts of perks and benefits that tech workers, primarily Silicon Valley ones, have taken for granted for the past decade. This was a lost opportunity, a real "the ants and the grasshopper" situation.

> the top grossing films of the era (70s) were no better than the MCU of today.

These are the top films, and second place, for 1970-74

70 Love Story, Airport

71 Fiddler on the Roof, Billy Jack

72 The Godfather, The Poseidon Adventure

73 The Exorcist, The Sting

74 The Towering Inferno, Blazing Saddles

I only stopped because I got bored copying and pasting. I'm not convinced the MCU stuff really compares. And I love all that Marvel stuff! Maybe if they could do a decent soundtrack. .
I can see this as the main reason why. Top level executives didn’t even have a standard work from home exception for bad weather (I’m in New England) and we had to work individually with our direct manager to get WFH approved when it was blizzard conditions. Luckily my manager isn’t a douche.

For a tech company, they are very slow to adopt modern convenience benefits for their employees outside of “free drinks and cafeteria food.”
The Best Drill article doesn't even mention impact drivers, which are going to be tremendously easier on the wrist/hand for screwing in screws. An explanation for the lay audience would help. Nor are questions such as: "How much torque is there? What is the torque curve? How much torque do you need? Do you need a hammer drill? What is the noise like?" addressed.

I do think more specialty gear is hard to cover, as for example the the impact driver here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_pCeGmQU8w or AvE's youtube coverage of tools goes beyond that. Project Farm tends to have better coverage of general equipment with pretty good objective tests: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rzsm1Qi6N1X-wuOg_p0Ng but even he can't cover all the brands/models: He covered Festool but not Hilti's SF 2H-A Hammer, for example.

Techgearlab has pretty unbiased coverage, and they also have an small incentive to cover products that have affiliate programs -- however, for example their parent rock climbing site Crash Pad Coverage: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/climbing/best-boulderi... includes Organic pads which have no affiliate program.
Well, they pay me to use Brave.

Sometimes you have a root cause deep in the architecture. As long as that cause exists you will have to work around it. Each work around will have to be removed if you ever fix the root cause.

I saw this as a developer and had thought it was better to just leave the architecture alone and keep the work arounds as tidy as possible. Then I started working in manufacturing, a production line has many similarities to a running program, and saw the true cost. We fixed a root cause at the beginning of the line and all the work we put into working around the original problem was more of a mess to clean up than fixing the root cause.

I'm now a believer in trying to fix the source if possible.

That said a legacy code base with no tests is less likely to get a structural change from me.

The Federal Reserve doesn't control fiscal policy - only monetary policy. They don't set tax rates. They only control the money supply. They are able to reduce wages by increasing interest rates. Businesses have to spend more money servicing debt - and can't obtain more debt as inexpensively - so they can't afford to pay workers the same rates.

Thank you for the kind words. I saw your post that you're not doing well, and I'm sorry for that. I recently did the leetcode grind so I can empathize with that to some degree. It was a lot of misery for several months for me before it started clicking. Keeping track of my progress in an excel sheet made me feel better too.

So, Doulas are trained professionals who teach mothers & couples about pertinent topics before, during, and after childbirth. They provide ongoing informational and emotional support and can be invaluable to a new mother who, for example, has never breast fed a baby and isn't quite sure how to do it.

They frankly substitute for extended families (really grandmothers) that once lived in the same household or very close-by, as well as more communicative experiences with one's neighbors. As you say, in the past this came from community and family.

I'm not sure how any of this has to do with school shootings or diversity. The killer may have had late-teen onset schizotypal disorder.

Easy: just consider the opposite:

> put up interest rates. This raises the cost of business credit, and at the margin, puts people out of work, until employment reaches the "non-accelerating rate" (NAIRU)

Instead, keep interest rates now. Then wages will go up, but prices of goods also go up, and prices are less stable. This seems strictly worse for everyone.

> break labour power by legislating against unions, breaking up state-owned businesses into the private sector, and promoting the Uber-style "independent contractor" model where people aren't employees

This is not really within the purview of Fed policy, but the various legislatures. If you had the opposite, probably real wages will go up. In the socialist ideal case, more of GDP will go to labor, and laborers will get more equal salaries, which is great.

The other side's argument is that with strong unionization you would a lot of stagnation: jobs that have low economic output but are still there because the unions keep it in place. General Motors is a classic example of a company beholden to it's labor so that capital doesn't want to invest in the company at all, and it ends up having relatively low productivity.

I swear this country is going to try to implement all of the worst aspects of China's authoritatiran system and claim it's all 'ok' because it's capitalist and to serve business instead of the govt.

Implementing a Chinese style societal "social credit" system is not a good thing. Even if it would make it a bit cheaper to undercut Uber. Making every action and interation you have in life tracked and rated is not a net plus. The constant visibility and permanance of everything is part of why middle school and high schoolers are having such trouble now. They can't develop as teenagers as they are already part way to living in '1984' with every action tracked via social media.

*Please* fellow tech people. Whether you work in ML, DS, or software for a random business or open source project please think through the societal impact and long-run end state of what you propose and produce. We really have to move past the days of "I'm just an engineer I'll only focus on the tech and ignore the impact of my work on society". Implementing China's societal wide social credit system is a bad path. And of course the argument will be, "well anyone who doesn't want to use it doesn't have to". And then that will turn into, "well most companies offer discounts if you use it." Then to "well most companies offer higher rates if you don't use it". Then "most companies won't serve you if you don't use it". Then it's universal in society just as if govt mandated, but people will consider it less horrific because it was slipery slope implemented vs via a mandate.

Well, for a start e.g. mass downloaders have become relatively useless because they can't download to outside of the OS downloads directory without resorting to weird hacks, can no longer intelligently handle already existing files, etc.

Then user scripts no longer being able to live normally on the file system (and therefore being editable outside of whatever limited UI the extension can provide, being easily searchable) are another victim of webextensions.

I'm actually dealing with the massive font differences that break the designs, and I don't know how to solve it. The designer specced the fonts that are available on different OSes. Something like font-family: X, Y, sans-serif;.

The problem is, X and Y have different line heights and different widths. And there's no CSS / media query way to detect which font is available.

So far I'm leaning towards a very ugly solution: rendering a test string into a DIV, measuring it, and then applying the correct class to the parent element.
The duct fan + filter combo is how lots of cylindrical consumer units work (e.g. Levoit, Philips, etc). They just use crappy fans which don't really pull any air through, or they're very expensive for what they are. In terms of availability, I think the current popularity helped, otherwise you could also look at the auto market, lots of cylindrical filters there and they'd be fine for pulling out stuff like pollen, though you might want a carbon filter as well.

I have no idea what's required for HEPA certification, but lots claim to be:

https://www.amazon.com/LEVOIT-Core-Replacement-High-Efficien...

It has an outer dust mesh, the HEPA filter and a carbon insert. They're all the same though, I think you could use any manufacturer's filter. Longevity isn't really an issue if a supplier goes bust, just re-make the adapter ring. Pretty much all you need and you don't need to worry about sealing the corners.

According to OP's link, they use a duct fan booster which is a lot quieter than a box fan (at least the claim is it can go down to 16 dB).

Though a question is does a can-shape system work better? Or would you get the same effect if you used a single flat filter with the same "unrolled" area? I have no idea, and there's so much uncertainty involved with DIY testing.

> Instead, keep interest rates now. Then wages will go up, but prices of goods also go up, and prices are less stable. This seems strictly worse for everyone.

FWIW I disagree with this. Prices will go up, which will incentivize adding new supply, and prices will eventually stabilize at a new (albeit higher) rate. This will eventually be compensated for through the wage-price cycle.

Rising prices are a function of supply exceeding demand right. There's simply not enough gas right now for everyone. So you can either reduce demand, or you can increase supply. Reducing demand, IMO, isn't the right way forward.
This is some extreme revisionist history here. The scientific Python community and many of the libraries around it go back way before Reddit, YouTube, etc.
That's certainly possible. Someone who has tried every possible way to direct their agency inward without results can simply burn out and feel helpless to affect change. By process of elimination, they've shifted their locus of control outward.

This isn't a given though. I know plenty of people who overinternalize to the point of burnout and don't become cynical externalizes[1].

In my experience "dont be a victim" means "please stop complaining" more than anything else. A friend who truly does wish to help might start with getting curious about why the externalizing victim feels like they cannot affect change, but this is tricky. Often people don't want to be offered unsolicited advice or be made to feel like they have to prove that they have exhausted their options before being offered sympathy. It's a fine line.

1. Before someone else chimes in with it being a useless model because it does not make predictions - that's not the point. It's a mode of interpretation/critical lens, not a predictive model.
As I understand it the idea is that raising interest rates makes cash "expensive" to incentive businesses to reduce immediate costs--lay people off.

Hold on to the value-holding assets (property), get rid of the immediate costly thing (primarily wages).

More people looking for work means people willing to work for less.

It's imprecise

Likely people who are "easy to replace" get the axe first, but that doesn't mean others don't get affected as well.
