I think it's complicated why they're not winning. Russia has a lot of resources, despite any incompetence. The US is not providing targeting data, nor long range weapons and the US doesn't want Ukraine striking inside of Russia (DoD just said so in the FT yesterday.) There's also the problem with sanctions not being very effective and having serious blowback globally making it difficult to apply more sanctions (EU disagreement on new sanctions was also in the FT yesterday.) I'm sure there are many other reasons we don't even know about... It's not easy.

My understanding is every time a "Laffer curve inspired" tax cut has happened in practise, tax revenues have indeed gone down.[1]

The thing about the Laffer curve idea that I don't understand is the curve doesn't need to be continuous. Say we accept at a tax rate of 100% you get no marginal benefit from working so no-one will work and the tax take will go to zero, at a tax rate of 100%-epsilon you still get (small) additional marginal utility for each additional dollar earned, so it's still in your interests to work. So it's literally only at a tax rate of 100% that the Laffer concept would make the tax take go to zero.

[1] https://medium.com/junior-economist/the-laffer-curve-6bb2833...

"In practice, the Laffer Curve has not provided the dual benefits of lower taxes and higher revenue. In fact, every US tax cut since 1965 has been followed with a sharp decrease in tax revenue, while every increase in taxes has led to an increase in government tax revenue."
For home-systems that run idle most of the time, the problem with Intelligent Platform Management Interface IPMI is the power consumption of the Baseboard Management Controller BMC which is, if I remember well, around 8Watt.

I am having trouble understanding your comment. Farmers and bakers easily produce more food than they need to stay alive themselves.

When people start a business they must borrow money and usually pay interest. That interest forces you to be profitable, you can't just run your company at 0% profit as that would only pay for your salary and the salary of your employees and the materials and machines you bought.

It is impossible for every company to be simultaneously be profitable. After all, if there is a million dollars in the economy, you can't have a 5% profit and reinvest the money as that would require a money supply of 1.05 million dollars. Thus, the money supply must grow endlessly and if the economy can't keep, there must be inflation.

I am aware of Lean and mathlib. It's the group around Kevin Buzzard which is doing mathlib, and it is for sure a great effort. Being practical, they latched onto the theorem proving facilities that are currently available, Lean certainly being one of the best at this moment. But just because they can make type theory work for them, with much effort, doesn't mean that it is the right way to do formal math. They are still a drop in the ocean compared to all the mathematicians who have never touched a proof assistant. I find it telling that in the Liquid Tensor experiment Peter Scholze didn't touch Lean himself, but worked through this group as intermediaries, who mediated the type theory details for him.

The state of proof assistants is such that currently almost all of them are based on some form of type theory. There are exceptions like Mizar and Metamath (Zero), which are based on first-order logic. Type theory seemed to be the only way to have proper general variable binding, via lambdas, and that is the main reason for its popularity today. Type theory is a particular mathematical theory, though, and not particularly well suited to most things mathematicians like to do, like forming completions or subsets of types/sets. Type theory also cannot deal with undefinedness properly. Of course, there are methods of working around these issues like coercions and option types, but they are cumbersome.

Until recently I also thought that a minimum of type theory is necessary, to get general variable binding. For example, I tried to embed set theory within simply-typed higher-order logic ([2]).

But since last year I know that you don't need type theory for variable binding (see [0])! Of course, (dependent) types are still useful, but now you can work with them in a much more flexible way, without having to divide the mathematical universe into separate STATIC and A PRIORI chunks labelled by types (see [1], but that needs to be updated with the understanding gained from [0]).

If type theory works for you, fine. But I know there is a better way.

I don't know, I don't have the device.

I do have a Samsung TV, and no matter what I do, I can't turn off the Wifi/Bluetooth radios in it - and several of my neighbours keep trying to connect to it.

The Google Chromecasts continually broadcast their AP when not fully set up.

A neighbour has a bluetooth/wifi speaker that pushed some kind of "Do you want to set up your X brand speaker now?" prompt to my phone.

There's a few other smart devices near me that are also broadcasting open APs that never seem to go away.

Entitled EV Drivers at Chargers
These[0] used to be rather common in the Netherlands And are actually pretty much fine on the wheel bending front if there's enough bicycles parked. You'll just stick your bicycle at the end of a group of bicycles and it'll be prevented from falling over by its neighbors. Still sometimes seen in lowish traffic areas where theft is not very likely.

These days you'll more often see these[1] which are a bunch more dense because of the vertical staggering, and you'll note the convenient attachment point for a chain lock. Less ideal with respect to brake and shifter cables, but there's a reason the preferred style of city bike has no gears and a kick brake.

At big places you'll often see these[2] which are incredibly dense. Bicycles on the top rows can be accessed by sliding the rail out and tilting it down. No real provision for a chain lock, but if you're parking at a train station you're already not caring too much about theft. Never mind that there being so many bicycles means that having even a halfway decent lock means any would-be-thief is just going to pick from one of the thousands of other slightly less securely locked bicycles.

Hope that gives some insight on how it's done in the netherlands.

Unfortunately, the things that hamster learned are no longer relevant. Using + and - on keywords no longer works with Google - your luck on other search engines will vary.

DRS (Hawk-eye + Ultraedge) has transformed cricket in my opinion. Where before, one erring umpire can change the course of a game, now there is the option to challenge calls. And guess what, if you land up in that 50-50 umpire's call territory, you don't lose the challenge, which is fair.

Compare this to the officiating in a modern NBA game and it is night and day. Refs have made NBA games almost unwatchable IMHO. Even if you win a coach's challenge, you don't get to retain it, forcing the coach to keep the challenge for crunch time even if a foul-call is egregious.

> If you're testing for the very rare day, so that your employee has the right answer in their front pocket

On the hard days, the answer has never been seen before, and therefore can’t be in anyone’s pocket. You need to know that you have employees who are smart enough to discover it. Technical interviews are how you find them.

The observation that your employees are motivated by learning opportunities is useful for how you manage them, but this doesn’t tell us how to hire people who can do the job.
I love WiFi on my home appliances. Washing machine sends notifications when it's finished or when it's running out of detergent, air purifier notifies when it's time to change the filter, A/C lets me turn it on remotely when I feel too hot, etc. I don't really get people who opt out of these convenience features.

Because specialization gave up autonomy, with zero corresponding accountability in return, so capital holders got most of the upside with none of the downside once positioned as too big to fail, and dependent stakeholders got short-term time resource benefits while their grandchildren onwards got exposed to oligopolistic pricing power, and externalities like fragile supply chain ramifications pushed upon them. Snarking like this in shallow analyses is exactly what Soros warned about with reflexivity.

plus the fed raising rates is destroying asset prices, which are held by the rich. in fact elon and bezos etc have lost double digit percents of their net worth

I've been using a Stream Deck XL for the last couple of years (with a Mac) and I'm very happy with it.

I use it mostly as an app switcher (button press brings up an app, another press hides it if it's in the foreground), with additional buttons for volume control and speaker mute. It's incredibly powerful with Keyboard Maestro. An example of a really useful automation I have: a "mute microphone" button that does the right thing in Google Meet, Zoom and GoToMeeting. No need to remember the fancy shortcut that each app invented, no need to hunt for the button with the mouse, no more hitting the "Leave" button instead of muting/unmuting. A single hardware button that toggles the microphone state in any conferencing app that is in the foreground. That alone was worth the price of the StreamDeck.

What I found though is that the XL is too large: I don't use that many buttons and I can't be bothered to tinker with the configuration endlessly to make use of them. I think I will replace it with the standard-sized StreamDeck (15 buttons).
Browsers should implement setting the preferred scheme per site at some point.

For any company making things -- well, to be fair, I can only speak for one of them -- the costs of goods sold has gone to the stratosphere.

The problem here is the abuse of the word "stable".

It's being conflated with the word "pegged".

Pegging something to something else that is unstable doesn't make it stable.

For as long as monetary policy in fiat continues to ease, you'll have more dollars around, inflating the money supply.

The pegged item will need to match this in the long run to maintain the peg. Which won't be possible without further minting of the so-called stablecoin.

The real solution, which I admit is a long time away, is to just stop using fiat and their "stablecoin" proxies altogether and just use another currency altogether.

Josip is being hyperbolic. This does not brick or change his devices.

I am going to defend Prolific here and say they are probably doing the right thing. I use FTDI, Prolific, and other similar serial adapters on a daily basis and Chinese ripoffs are a problem. I want to know right away if the device I bought is a fake.

The people selling the devices, usually Chinese vendors on Aliexpress or Amazon, DON'T CARE that they are selling fakes, and probably even know they are selling fakes.

The only way Prolific can get these guys to stop is to get the end-user pissed off enough to do returns and leave negative reviews. Aliexpress sure isn't going to take their listings down, and Amazon has proven they don't care either (actually they demand bribes to take fake merch down).

Josip's anger is misdirected. He bought a cheap fake chip, knows it, and wants his free ride.
