"Gell Mann Amnesia" applies here, and it would have been a much better article if it critically examined the genuinely interesting hypothesis that oligopoly power is a major factor in [specific instances of] inflation instead of spending most of it demolishing "silly economists haven't realised that relative prices also change" straw men.

(Especially since the silly economists actually have lots of theories about how specific instances of inflation are driven by dynamics of one particular sector like fuel prices to test against the "oligopoly" theory)
Well given that a union at least initially isn't part of the formal company structures almost by definition then there needs to be some process of recognition that yes this organisation that claims to represent my employees does in fact represent my employees.

That is what those union ballots are about - the union needs evidence that they are representatives of the employees of the company.

A union has to start somewhere. Of course depending upon the legal jurisdiction a company might not have much of a choice if a union meets a legal threshold, and in the case of union action they might not have a choice otherwise than deal with a union.

In this case I doubt MS had a choice, I guess what is notable is that they have not needed to make such a choice before now.
On Windows I use awesome (and really only solution at this moment) gsudo: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/gsudo

On Linux, you can use something like this: sudo pwsh -C <command> (or create wrapper for it...). Sure, not exactly full blown sudo but you could wrap it into scripts when needed and give appropriate sudo rules.
Now you’re getting it.

So when a small group of people has seized control of the laws it’s time to resort to the pointy end of the stick.

The laws are there to protect the people from those who seek to enslave them not the other way around.
In this case it is likely that the local repair shop will have some ability to source/replace a lot of parts that are common across the F series, which should cover a lot of repair jobs. For complicated electrical/drivetrain issues they can push the job up the chain to either a dealership or a more specialised part of the Ford repair network and over time the capability to perform those repairs will start to filter out to the edges of the network. By the time Ford is pushing EVs hard it is quite likely that their existing network will be ready to provide the sort of repair and support services that Tesla is famous for failing at.

Wow, this was the article I was looking for, it summarizes a number of thoughts about economics that I'd been having since the undergraduate days:

- There's an authority about the field that really isn't deserved. The models are not made properly, and there's a lot of hand-waiving. I studied economics with a class of engineers and everyone pointed this out.

- The pop-sci version of economics is a bunch of easy quips. Friedman's "everywhere a monetary phenomenon", Keynes "In the long run".

- The econ 101 version of economics is dominant in popular thought. You see it everywhere in newspapers. A more nuanced version of economics does exist, but the appeal to authority is strong in the field, because there's no real reasonable arguments, it's actually politics.

- Inflation is more interesting in a disaggregated view, for reasons mentioned. You can't look at it as a single figure.

- Relative price changes are what matter in society, because they represent changes in negotiation terms between different actors. Post-pandemic and Ukraine, we should expect to see more shortages as well as more strike action. Various groups like the RMT union will decide they need to flex their muscles. Chip shortages will cause negotiation positions to change across a wide variety of affected sectors like cars, meaning push will come to shove for certain lines of business.

Elon Musk Is Making the Argument for a Data Tax
Agreed, but as for Python, it doesn't have to run in both CLI and the browser, where both are entirely different environments. You don't need to transpile-and-typecheck from Python-with-types to Python-you-can-run. And yet, there are enough complaints about trying to get other people's Python to run on one's own machine, even in this very comment thread.
At the risk of going off-topic: I'd also like someone to write a similar blog post providing a convincing explanation of why the national debt supposedly isn't wrecking the US's future big time.

To me it absolutely is, because you can only keep borrowing money and paying the (increasingly large) interest on it for so long. Eventually it'll exceed your revenue and you have no choice but to print money and hyperinflate your currency... right? Yet modern economists keep arguing it's... fine? "It's not like your household debt" or whatever the argument is.
depending on your lifestyle, cities may not offer many benefits especially compared with the costs. when i go into the city i often find myself at a loss for what to actually do there because it seems like they largely facilitate consumption and nothing else. they are good for skateboarding but that is hardly an intended feature.

You are right, I had it confused with https://orgzly.com.
Yes I have tried to do this, and I do this kind of "helping others" a lot on discord.

StackOverflow is about the worst helping platform. That's not the kind of platform I was talking about, I was specifically mentioning discord and reddit. r/cpp, r/c_programming, and some discord servers like the "programming" discord are great.

I see what you're saying, but that is NOT the experience I've had at all on most communities other than StackOverflow. I really urge you to actually try it and have a look.
You remove a whole host of cheat vectors in online games for one.
from an insider's perspective, javascript is better than it has ever been. ES6 has fixed all significant shortcomings 8 years ago, and at this point you don't even have to transpile it

the "community" however is as shit as ever, but you can easily ignore it.
I also think that Aella had abstraction mismatch. Python does not know what CSV is when she tries to "Okay, cool. I want to upload a csv, the data I want to analyze". It sounds to python identical as if you said "Make me a sandwich". You need to explain to python what a "sandwich" is, using abstraction that python understands. In CSV case this work is done by pandas.

So for that first you need to LEARN what abstractions python has and how to use them to build higher level abstractions.

Same here, I'm also doing on-demand module loading, it's an enormous productivity boost for me as a developer because of the shorter feedback loop, zero time spent fighting/configuring the tool chain, and how powerful the debugger in the browser is when it actually works. It's also a massive performance boost for the resulting web page because of orders of magnitude less code, and small entry point/initial page load.
37% of the 65% of homeowners own their home free & clear.

That's 24%. You're obviously at a huge advantage if you're in this 24% - but it's kind of like saying that the top 10% of people have >$1M in assets (they also happen to predominantly be old).
"Aspirational naming" is quite a curious synonym for lying.

And to say that Musk has not thought much about X, for any X, is quite an understatement. The closer you look at anything he says, the less evidence of thought you can find. Today is a golden age for glib grifters.
Sure, in no small part because of the different policies between states and between cities. Chicago, in particular, has strict laws that are almost worthless because of lax gun laws in Indiana. Gary, Indiana might as well be included in part of the Chicago metro area - in other words, you barely need to leave the city to get to easy gun access. It is very much similar to Canada having issues with guns because despite laws, it is fairly easy to smuggle legally bought guns from the US into Canada.

In other words, it should be obvious that regulations in one city do not hamper interstate trade - or heck, they likely don't hamper intrastate trade either, but I don't have any examples in my head about that specifically.

I was expecting them to want you to make a donation and send the receipt, but they want you to actually round up less fortunate kids and take them out for pizza. Bizarre.
An astonishing number of people here are missing the point. Doing something like "making a small script to analyze CSVs" has become a massively complicated undertaking requiring you to follow random guides that might be 6 months old (practically half a century in these circles), install random programs and dependencies using other random programs and dependencies that you don't even understand, and do many steps that seem like completely nonsense.

Yes, it's incredibly complex. It doesn't have to be and a lot of it is completely unnecessary, driven by the tech world's inability to stick with literally anything for more than a few years before collectively deciding it's all trash and you should REALLY be using this brand new thing that only half works instead. It doesn't need to be this hard, and that's what I'm trying to say. Using this to shit on the person for thinking their simple task would be simple is completely missing the point - if anything, it proves it.
I would have thought so. Otherwise, all a company would have to do is "sell" the company to another subsidiary and wipe the slate clean.
That page leads down an unpleasant Wikipedia rabbit hole. It's amazing to me that people thought "Goose pulling" was a pleasant pastime—tie a goose to a frame, ride towards it at a gallop, and grab it by the neck so its head comes off.

The Moorgate - Liverpool Street link is actually potentially useful for me, as i live on a line which runs into Moorgate and occasionally travel to the frontiers of civilisation from Liverpool Street, so now i can change trains without having to catch the tube or leave and re-enter the stations. Although whether the deep route is actually any quicker than the route through the streets is yet to be determined.

This looks really neat and handy especially the type annotations part. I always got frustrated when accidentally putting the wrong type into a column.

How's the Language Server support for this? Last time I tried ZLS, it was quite well rounded so I am curious to know if this type annotations would work with it or not. Would be really cool if they do.

I have never been able to fully adopt zig due to how frustrating working with strings is but I absolutely loved the comptime functionality.

The subway tunnel from London Bridge national rail station to the Underground has some of this, but I agree that it's astonishingly rare. Very few stations even have so much as a toilet, let alone a cafe or shops.

Personally I'm a very big fan of TfL's approach on this - the minimalism of the network is really quite nice.

Actually, there is a _ton_ of London that is underground, it just happens to not be for pedestrians or the general public. You should take a look at some of the planning and tight clearances that are required for things like adding additional cooling/ventilation to the existing tube network. When they were adding a new exit to Victoria as a part of the changes to the station I remember reading about trying to navigate the digging of multi-meter diameter holes with clearances to other underground structures or voids that were 10cm or less.
Hopefully the Internet Archive save twitter tweets streams, and other closed source platforms.
That sounds awful (and unnecessary) to me. When I’m using the tube it’s because I want to get somewhere. Shoppers getting in the way would just be frustrating. It makes perfect sense in Montreal but eating/shopping underground just sounds miserable when our weather rarely goes below 0. Also a poor use of expensive space when, as I said, eating and shopping above ground is always comfortable.
Surely the people who are leveraged with a fixed rate mortgage at an even bigger advantage to those who own a home outright? (debt will get inflated away over time)

If we measure a basket of 1,000 products that is direction and magnitude in a 1,000 dimension space. Those are not the important things of that vector. What's important is that we have 1,000 measurements of inflation for 1,000 different products. One of the points of the article is that it could be possible to collapse that vector into a single scalar number as governments do, but it usually isn't because the variance between each component is too big and makes that number meaningless.

And yet it's useful to be able to tell my customers that I have to raise my fee because of a 6% inflation instead of "gas went up 20%", "but clothing went down 5%."
organize is similar to orgzly in that it is a standalone application that runs in your browser (phone or desktop) and is capable of not only displaying, but also editing your Org files.

It is not a server that serves pages that can be displayed well on phones as written by GP.
There will surely be more amazing things like tiddlyhost come to TW ecosystem in the next decade.

Because it is fun creating thins around TiddlyWiki ecosystem, I've created things like

- WYSIWYG editor https://tiddly-gittly.github.io/slate-write/
- Sync to SoLiD web3 project https://github.com/linonetwo/solid-tiddlywiki-syncadaptor

Hope more people find it fun joining this community and ecosystem.
I’ve generally had a good experience with Xbox cloud gaming. I’ve been playing city skylines on xcloud and decided to try downloading it to my xbox one s since my Bay Area internet keeps going it.

These are not EU laws, they are EU directives directing the member countries to implement laws. But these laws are not all the same, for instance in how much effort a customer has to make to ‘prove’ that a device failed due to a manufacturing defect.
Yes, Paddle is revenue-based. I was just wondering about the alternatives.

Something about Paddle that I can't define is putting me off, whether it is website, wording, attitude, "contact me for the quote" and such things makes it feel old school and bureaucratic. I learned over time to listen to my gut feeling, so I'm not gonna use it.

Gumroad looks much more relaxed, although more expensive and lacks many features.

Here in this thread, someone mentioned https://www.getrevin.com, which lets you use Stripe and provides a tax shield merchant of record for 1% on top of Stripe fees, which makes it interesting.

I also found out https://www.lemonsqueezy.com which is priced similarly to Gumroad, but it lacks documentation to be able to compare it.

Honestly, reading the thread from my perspective (as a self-taught amateur) I get some of the frustration, but also see that the tweeter was their own worst enemy.

The basic basics - how to install Python, handle modules, and maybe execute scripts, would have been dealt with in the first few minutes of many beginner tutorials - and would have handled all of their initial teething frustrations.

And while I get the desire to build something real (I don’t think I’ve ever completed a full tutorial as I always dive off into what I wanted to make in the first place) not even being willing to sit for an hour to learn the basics is far beyond ‘goal oriented’ - and is obviously seriously limiting and self-defeating.

Mind you, I agree with most. However:

>With that, it's trivial to pick up almost any tech afterwards.

The fact most of the market does not align with this at all kind of shows to me the contrast between "passionate people willing to help get stuff done" and "a brutal corporate market where everything not perfect nets you a fat zero, despite projects being way more samey and boring". The job market for juniors is absolutely brutal and it is already expanding to other levels to a point where if you mess up or don't have the "right experiences", you're still effectively a junior still according to the market. Through no fault of your own. Couple that with a "we're looking for i+1 experienced people to do i-1 work" mentality and the number of corporations which don't do this being extremely limited.

On top of that, tech also has a large "trial-and-error" part to it which most people should be willing to acknowledge. If we're not mutating upon existing solutions, we might as well just package the existing thing into an instant solution. The mutating on existing solutions is the difficult part.
It's "cringey" not "cringe". You need an adjective. And I'm amazed at how many people on HN are oblivious to obvious sarcasm.
