The baseline reality is that there is not enough fuel being produced globally to support people's current levels of consumption, for reasons that have nothing to do with energy monopolies in the UK. Years of environmental campaigning in western countries and optimistic beliefs about a green revolution meant that new production hasn't been coming online. Then a couple of years of Covid lockdowns followed by nasty whiplash as factories tried to make up for lost production and consumed more energy than usual ate up the remaining slack, and everyone trying to switch away from Russian gas after they invaded Ukraine made things even worse. There's some reason to believe that fuel producers in totalitarian dictatorships are deliberately making this worse for profit and political gain, but there's not much that can be done about that.

This explains everything that you're chalking up to some conspiracy by plutocrats. The massive price hikes which make fuel unaffordable are because there's not enough being produced to satisfy demand at the original pricing, and fuel demand is price inelastic enough mean that large price increases are required to get fuel consumption down to a level that can actually be supplied. Profits are at record highs because the money has to go somewhere, and it's going to those who did invest in fuel production (an action we probably do want to reward, since having more production makes us all better off). The Bank of England is worried about workers pursuing pay rises on a large scale since this won't make people better off in real terms - it does nothing about the underlying supply limitation that actually affects how much people can afford to consume - and it will make inflation worse, which is something they'll have to deal with, probably with consequences that will make workers worse off in real terms judging from past experience.
I've run Gentoo since 2004, and all the non-stop compiling has finally driven me away from that distro. It's just too much of a waste of time, a drain on my system's resources and wear on my disks.

It used to be bearable back in the day, but now software has gotten so bloated that compiling it all constantly is just ridiculous... especially on older, slower systems.
Did you read the article? There's a paper that recreated what the inflation rate would have been with the old method, and it tracks the new method closely, but just has more volatility.
didn't realize there was a doctor shortage in Canada - all I ever hear about countries with socialized medicine is how they are better than the US at delivering health care more cheaply - possibly true in some respects, but if there is no doctor to see you, than it really doesn't matter.

US system is far from perfect, but at least I can always find a doctor when I need one.
System.Drawing never worked well on linux, and is mostly used in windows-only gui.

To generate/process images, there are other, great, .NET library like SkiaSharp, or ImageSharp.
I don’t drive for a living—on the contrary, I work from home. But I do make a lot of trips out of state—we have a lot of family in a 5-7 hour radius, not to mention regional recreational traveling. Realistically a 5 hour drive is 6 hours with 2 charging stops and my car is rated for 330 miles. A 7 hour drive is probably at least 8.5 hours. It’s considerably worse in the winter. I would never want to drop down to 250 miles of range.
Hah, I thought Silverlight was dead years ago, but I don't keep up with Windows tech at all.
It's not so easy to ditch systemd on a lot of distros, because it's tied so closely in to everything else.

Also, I don't know about you but I don't want to waste my time writing init scripts for every application I run that needs them. I'd much rather just use a distro that has already written them for me.
The Asus card isn't available in my region. I can find TPLink Archer TXE75E V2 which seems similar (BT5.2, 6E) - I can't find any info on linux support or BT.
Bitwig is the best Linux DAW in my experience, although it isn't FOSS. Running third party VSTs is also much more of a pain if even possible. I'm also stuck with Logic... for now at least.
Yes but what I’m saying is all fixed rate debt prices in interest rate risk. Any one creditor could be in a bad spot, but a creditor holding lots of fixed rate debt can / should be hedging against that risk.

When we’re talking about institutions with billions of dollars (and not joe lending Bobby $20), I wouldn’t call them a loser unless they specifically failed to properly hedge their positions.
Williams was, for sure, but according to Wikipedia Dorsey was, in fact, a programmer for Pyra Labs (the creators of Blogger).
Oh please lost child return to us. We're begging you to come back. Gimme a break.

We are a country with 1/10th the population of the US -- the largest economy in the world and an aggressive military power -- and we're sitting right next to it, for most of our history barely holding onto an independent existence. Most of our "successful" industries consist of "ripping and shipping" raw commodities to service that market.

It should not surprise you why things are the way they are. It's gross how these domestic industries end up this way, captured by a cabal of self-serving corporate dickheads, but TBH on the whole the alternative would be raw subservience to US corporations who would steamroll our entire economy.

There is no easy answer, or it would have been done already.
For those that only read the headline, the article is much more interesting. There's a paper that recreated what the inflation rate would have been with the old method, and it tracks the new method closely, but just has more volatility. Plus, "the government" didn't take home prices out, they just switched to a different approach to tracking them.

While I do like the latter, a house is a fairly rare purchase in one's life. Admittedly, a very major, rare purchase. But typically a rare one nonetheless. My weekly grocery runs are more indicative of CPI to me.
So much wrong with this comment.

Their drive assistence is way better then the 3rd party system was back then.

Their batteries are from panasonic, LG and CATL. In fact they are top costumers of each. And they also make their own batteries as well. Have you not updated your views from 2015?

And cells are just one part, the integrated battery system is another and Tesla is very innovative there.

That said they would not sell IP or parts.
Those are all valid points. However those are also the counter argument: eventually the cost of all those services is more than the cost to do it in house, or find a competitor.
This guy is wordy. They need a really good editor.
> Oh I am so sorry. I just realized you mentioned "apps" not terminal frameworks.

LOL... I just went and googled all of these and was like "why am I seeing apps... I want the actual dev libraries so I could build my own apps"

Guess this explains why I was so confused.
All of the models I was looking into were Intel based - but I could't find any info if they are actually supported/tested - and just threads people complaining they can't get them to work on their distro or can't get BT to work.

> Plus American government overspending, to be fair, but that's just a US phenomenon.

That's not true. US spent the most, but Europe spent €3.2 trillion. US spent $12 trillion but they had to "shore up" a lot of global banks because that's just what they do. About half went into asset purchases and liquidity measures.

I take a simple approach. What would you expect to happen if you just created trillions out of thin air and distributed it? Arguing nothing would happen is the economic equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. It just doesn't pass the smell test to me because you can just create global wealth from changing some numbers in a computer with no repercussions. It's alchemy. Can I "prove" that there are negative consequences that in the long run outweigh the benefits? No. But I can say that I cannot find a single case of high inflation that did not coincide with government printing money. Printing a lot of money doesn't always cause inflation, but any time there is inflation there has been a lot of money printing.

Sure what happens may not be predictable, but its obvious that you're messing with a complex system and effects aren't instantaneous or uniform. That's why you see things like product X is going up 50% while product Y is going up 5%. And the people that point this out think they're debunking something.

With complex systems its best to keep things simple. You can get lost in the data from all the noise and overconfidence will bite you in the ass. Which is why it's not a smart idea to increase the money supply by 30+% in a year and dump it into the market.

By using comptime, the statement couldn't be runtime composed, right? That's currently the major holdback for me to spend more time on zig: if using comptime become more common in zig community, the libs could be less flexible to use. It feels sort of like function coloring to me, that the whole call chain also need to pass down the value as comptime variable. I've only spend 2 days with zig, so I would love to learn if I'm wrong on this subject.
Does BT 5 support work ? High quality wireless headphone connection for calls is pretty important for me, this is the reason I'm getting the wireless card for workstation (I use laptop for calls right now)
That's really unfortunate. I think education is the best place to teach these things bottom up. Especially considering that you understand a framework way better after creating one yourself. There are not that many essential parts in a web framework anyways, it's the plumbing, the tooling and the polish around them that makes them productive.

The aptera is still plugable and you would still benefit from the efficiency even in sorry sad UK...And I have seen nowhere anyone saying it was for everyone. It only have 2 seats and limited luggage capacity for a start, it won't replace a family van.

I live in Andalusia where decent sunlight is all year and I would love a similar thing with 4 seats. With only 2 I don't really see the advantage over using my motorbike which is much easier to park.
Leaving the country is not trivial for most people. I see this comment a lot from people who have left, but for lack of a better term it's an extremely "privileged" position.

If you're either not in a high demand industry, not highly skilled, or lack a degree you aren't going to be leaving Canada. Even if you are all of those things it can still be difficult.

I'd leave in an instant but despite being highly skilled I lack a university degree which in my experience has made it almost impossible, despite trying.

That seems so blindingly obvious a flaw in the old methodology that I’m surprised that was ever implemented in the first place.

Prices increase because some human beings do increase prices.

It is not "mother nature": there are moneraty/economic "rules" made/enforced by a few humans to organise(oppress?) others humans. Don't be fooled.

To deal with inflation is to deal with those humans who are increasing prices.
Ah, good point - and would seem unlikely they removed most pages except those.
Agreed with all points. Also, look at the comment histories of most of the negative commenters. Haters gonna hate.

Sales of steam deck seem to imply another 1-2M units, which would increase Linux marketshare to more than 2%. It's not ridiculous to suggest that developers may test for Linux in the near to medium term.
I’m really not comfortable with how they resolved this as invalid.

This seems like it could be ripe for abuse when the host is behind a Cloudflare like service, or a CDN with a shared anycast infrastructure. Often times these services will use the host name in the initial connection to determine the origin. While it would be very difficult to turn this into a targeted attack, I could imagine that spraying a number of discrete domains across those services may result in finding one or more interesting hosts.

This could also cause some quite unexpected behavior if your applications/infrastructure sits behind a common reverse proxy where all hosts share a *.host.tld certificate pointing to the same reverse proxy. Imagine static.host.tld serving you the login page, which also tries to make a request to api.host.tld which shares the same certificate and IP but with the given host name would have been proxied to a different backend server.
Ah my bad :) This is why I dislike acronyms.
that's why the best way to get an answer on there is to post your questions and post the dumbest answer you can think of from another account. Then just watch the answers start pouring in. They can't help themselves. I personally haven't done that because my answers is usually just one google away, so I never created an account.
> No, for the same reason that "size of gas tank" isn't a dominant factor in purchasing an ICE vehicle.

Gas tank size doesn’t matter because it takes 2 minutes to fill a tank and there are gas stations every few miles. The EV situation is at least an order of magnitude worse in both cases. It’s a completely different game.

As a teacher, this resonates
I think in this scenario you would be adding together the price inflation caused by monetary inflation with the price inflation caused by other things. If all sides are measurable you could then start identifying which side is driving price inflation primarily.
Vercel also on the backend if you're using Next.js API routes, I guess
> In 1983, the BLS switched to a new method called owners’ equivalent rent.

A big problem in the housing debate is that almost everyone (lay people, media, politicians, advocates) carelessly conflate "houses", "homes" (including apartments/condos), "real estate/property" (land + structure), and "housing" (including buying and renting), and don't even try to factor in interest rate effects, so all the math is just nonsense mixing apples and sharks.

> Neoclassical economics preaches that all is fair with the distribution of income. Income differences, the theory claims, stem from differences in productivity. As long as markets are competitive, people earn their ‘marginal product’. And so there’s no reason to redistribute income.

Oh man. No economist says this. The fundamental theorem of welfare economics only says that the income distribution will be pareto optimal. (And that’s assuming perfect information, competitive markets, no externalities, etc.)

Pareto optimal means there’s no way to redistribute resources so that that everyone prefers the new distribution or is indifferent. But redistribution as it’s usually proposed is not attempting to make everyone better off, it’s trying to make the poor better off by transferring money from the rich to the poor. The assumption being that the poor benefit more from the transfer than the rich are harmed. As an example, I would barely notice if you deleted $50 from my bank account, but giving $50 to a homeless person might let them sleep in a hotel for a night instead of on the street. So a redistribution of $50 from me to a homeless person clearly benefits them much more than it harms me.

But people love to make up some insane belief that’s obviously wrong and then attribute it to economists. Another fun one you see often is “Economists assume everyone is perfectly rational, but look at me! I’ve never read a single book on economics and I’m assuming the whole field relies on a single, obviously false premise!”

I’m not really sure where this impulse comes from. I would much prefer people attribute some things to economists that they actually believe, like “immigrants are good for a country and the people in it” or “we should tax carbon emissions and tariff countries that don’t” or “we should pay people who get vaccinated against contagious disease” or “we need taxes to solve coordination problems when funding public goods like roads and defense” or “the mortgage interest deduction is distortionary and regressive and needs to go”.

Wouldn’t that be more interesting than endless articles debunking universally-held economist opinions like “everyone gets paid exactly for their merit and how rich your parents are has no effect on how rich you will be”?

Quality on streaming services isn't good anyway, and depending on the exact hardware and devices you have connected you won't get "HD" on Windows, either.
Charities will "accept" nearly anything because turning down donations is bad publicity and people barely need a reason at all to turn on a charity. They don't want it though and will offload it as cheaply as possible. Often this is a minor cost center for some charities lol.
It's a strange sentence for sure. Organising your programs around data and its transformation happens to mean you are aware of how hardware organises, represents, and transforms data, and accommodate that to keep things running smoothly.

I would say the purpose of DoD is most certainly to make fast programs, but guess the point of that quote is just to further emphasise that this is all about data.
Same here. I installed the manual firewall SimpleWall and a bunch of Windows processes I haven't used in months + telemetry are constantly trying to connect to the internet (things like xbox game bar and widgets)
Yes, because this fundamentally wasn't an attack against NPM or any specific package manager. This stemmed from a breach at Heroku.
I know, my agreement was intentional! :)
Agreed with the other user - if you can get livecast + tipping going that'll be your hook. Hosts will then have a specific reason to plug your platform. Best of luck, very promising!
We should use reverse psychology, we should offer crypto-bros to run the entire globalfinancial system via the exchanges and faulty dapps they have built to rug people.

Sure, but housing prices will directly effect the price someone can buy and offer it to be rented out which has a huge monthly effect on a large portion of the population.
I don't know how many HN deal with the construction trade, but electric trucks are going to be game-changers for tradesmen, plumbers, electricians, etc. Most hand tools are battery-powered now and being able to charge them on an unpowered job site without hauling a generator is a huge time and space saver
I already use a pi-hole for our local network, everything msn, windows, microsoft related is already blocked for all our devices, so it's really not a big task. It's also not a big task to maintain the list of domain to block, every few months I find a new one to add. I also don't mind some level of telemetry.

And I personally like Windows as an operating system, NT is a very cool and well documented technology, and since WSL has been available it is also my favorite Linux desktop experience. For a while my main complaints where about the frustrating dev experience (mostly for web stuff, tooling often only consider a Unix environment), and the lack of package manager, but WSl + Windows Terminal + winget is just fantastic. And that's without talking about more niche things, such as the awesome Sysinternal Suite (so many hidden gem here!), the event system, powershell (looks ridiculous when you first read about it but it's such a ridiculously powerful shell once you discover that you can interact with .Net classes), Win32 APIs, etc.

(Edit: I say this as a relatively recent convert to Windows, I started with Mac OS classic, then OS X, then ArchLinux for years, so the majority of my experience has been with Unix environments)
ESM in Node.JS is a dumpster fire.
I agree with some of the other early sentiments, this is interesting. We just recently started integrating React into our Django projects. Are there any plans to allow for different JS frameworks, or does the approach tightly couple with Alpine.js?

I may have to play around with this regardless; very cool.

I think the “new” (now 39 years old) method is superior overall, but I think it’s entirely factually correct that they took home prices out of the index.

They did not take housing expenses out, which is what many people whose sole exposure to economics is via memes seem to think/be encouraged to think.
