Why is it that when a company breaks copyright laws, the owner gets a severe sentence, but break environment laws or privacy laws and you usually only get a rap on the wrist?
Because the inflation indicator is calculated with a typical spending basket, it has several components which are slower to adjust prices. In CPI for example housing is 25% and then you have things like education, healthcare and insurance.

Also inflation numbers are usually reported comparing the difference in the last 12 months, you are probably thinking about the pre-pandemic prices so you'll have to add them up.
Why are "setup()" and "loop()" bad? setup() is just main().
That link was not happy about my pihole swallowing their ad links, so I could not read it.

I will say, however, that I don't use my personal phone to host any employer apps. It is my phone, not theirs. I pay the service fee.

So conversations I have on my phone are mine. My coworkers all operate the same way.
I don't think bluGill is entirely wrong ( as indicated by the downvoting ), the average driver believes they're better than the average, which isn't possible. But, I'm sure, the average person is much better than then average _some_ of the time, and they're thinking about their best when they rank themselves -- I think this falls into the same reasoning as, 'we judge others based on their actions and we judge ourselves based on our intentions' -- intending to drive error free is likely much more common than actually driving error free

But, it also sounds like, some of the driver assist features aren't so good yet either ( reading many of the other comments in this thread )

If a child can go to school he can also work, why rob 8 year olds of this opportunity & force them to school when they could be working in a sweatshop?
The pension system in Estonia consists of a shared fund "First Pillar" and an individual specific fund "Second Pillar". Part of your salary goes into the pension system and gets split between these two funds.

So the current workforce is helping to keep up the First pillar for the current pensioners. But at the same time the current workforce is making deposits into the Second Pillar which just invests their money into the markets.

So people can liquidate their Second Pillar without messing up the First Pillar for everyone else.
More like, Estonia cheats the least when measuring inflation.

Anti-reductionism in Nyāya-Vaiśesika atomism
Last time I visited SF the city literally smelled like a toilet. I've lived in and visited a lot of "bad" parts of various cities and the condition of SF was shocking. I'd never seen anything in the US quite that filthy or with so many obviously mentally ill people roaming around in a state of perpetual psychiatric distress. I've been to places that probably had higher crime rates but the condition I saw in SF seemed more degrading. Even in the nicer parts of the city you could smell pain and squalor.

How is allowing the city to get that bad progressive? Isn't that creating an even more radically two-tier city where the rich live in gated homes and work in posh offices while everyone else can't afford to live somewhere that doesn't smell like human waste? (If they can afford a roof over their head at all. Real estate costs in SF are still batshit insane.)

SF may well be the city in the US with the most radical division between rich and poor. Nobody who isn't rich can ever hope to afford homeownership unless they want to commute three hours.

How is any of this progressive? To me it looks like a lot of elitism plus general political incompetence and corruption coated with a superficial veneer of low-effort progressive rhetoric to sell it to naive young liberals who vote for mere words and don't pay attention to outcomes.

I've become fond of saying this: "Texas is more progressive than California because in Texas a working class person can afford a place to live." That seems to sometimes wake people up to the rank hypocrisy of all this.

We've created a political environment where we give far, far too much weight to words and not nearly enough to deeds or outcomes. Ultimately only outcomes matter and when measured by outcome SF's policies are not progressive.
There are at least seven different JSON specifications. And no, the ecmascript one isn't the "canonical" one.

What does “funding healthcare” mean in this context? I ask because, in my experience, most of the people on the left use the term healthcare with the implication of adopting ‘single payer, free at the point of service’ - something far too radical for Republicans to support.
Forgetting the measurement issue with no standardized definition of what even constitutes a medical error, this is still a very poor way of framing a change in rank. Is the absolute rate at which people are killed by medical errors higher than it used to be? Is it higher than in comparable countries? Or did the rank change because the old 3rd leading cause of death now kills fewer people? Those are very different pieces of news and this press release doesn't indicate which is the case.
...they don't even have the most basic understanding of...I'm completely baffled at how people cannot comprehend...

Maybe it's not a failure to understand. Maybe it's a symptom of the world-wide denial-of-service attack against the very concept of democracy. It doesn't cost much to pay someone to make government look bad. If you're an autocrat, it's kind of a no-brainer.
Yes, it's a problem that there are co-dependencies with Russia. Yes, it's a grave mistake that Europe didn't untangle from those right after 2014. But not untangling them now would be completely brain-dead. I mean... Russia is now a rogue state carrying out scorched earth tactics, officially rewarding units guilty of war crimes (killing of civilians, rape), threatening the world with nuclear weapons, hijacking planes, stealing intellectual property in the open, etc, etc, etc... It's just... mind-blowing that there are still voices out there trying to figure out a way to 'talk it through'. That boat has long sailed.

Why does this link to the comments section?
Inflation is highly manipulated by goverment and is usually 2x lower than real inflation. On the following site you can check the inflation calculated based on the past methods (before 1990):

http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts

as you can see, inflation calculated using the old method is 2x higher than the current one (8% vs 16%)
Historically wars (as awful as they were) often had a way of realigning politics/economic understanding with reality. The world has been so peaceful for so long that they lose sight of the fragility of success and wealth.

So much of modern political history is taking the economic gains for granted and assuming they will stay consistent (or only be a minor inconvenience) despite an endless march of downward pressure on many of the things that made us productive and progress.

For a long time the only thing that has masked it is the gains from globalization (even though the a big percentage of the returns often only went to megacorps and the well connected). But that will either reach its limits or conflicts will disrupt it. Then we see the costs of crippling of industries, getting rid knowledge, or misalign incentives.
What does this have to do with the topic of discussion?
That energy efficiency was paid for by the total energy of the biological chain of events that eventually led to that human in the form of their DNA.

> The idea that all departments of all western governments are secretly changing the data

I don't think they have to do it secretly. They do it in the open, otherwise there wouldn't be an Investopedia article on CPI controversy that clearly indicates a few problems. There's no internal whistle blowing going on. It's in the open.

> And even if we go with CPI stuff, the agencies that do these things try to stay consistent.

Sure, perhaps they "try", but:

"Over the years, the methodology used to calculate the CPI has undergone numerous revisions".

"Some critics view the methodological changes and the switch from a cost of goods index (COGI) to a cost of living index (COLI) as a purposeful manipulation that allows the U.S. government to report a lower CPI."

My personal problem with CPI is that it doesn't include the cost of purchasing a home. I get it...it's not a "consumer good" or whatever. But if you're talking about inflation, and everyone jumps to CPI for that, then CPI should include it, or maybe the media should stop quoting it so much. It's not representative of what people want it to be. People want a way to quantify how much harder it is to establish a good life with their earnings. And I don't think the government is being honest about that. Maybe it's too much to ask.

Here is the thing, can we appreciate that given the situation and the need to have to continuously pump liquidity into the Markets (to be the benefit of entities like the World Bank) via QE in order to artificially create the illusion of growth that this kind of model is not just unsustainable, but is entirely a machination from smoke and mirrors? It's not even real or a reflection of reality of the Economy and serves very little purpose other than to line the pockets of the investment class via the stock market.

I've come to the conclusion that nothing short of a return to the average/mean in terms of economic output and consumption habits will help us from ourselves: inflation is already here and we're already in a recession and the notable thing is that commodities keep rising, eventually we will price out a large percentage of the population as shortages continue due to prolonged and potential conflicts that were only possible because of a need to seek Russian oil or cheap Chinese labour in order to maintain this perpetual growth model.

I'm sickened that this is my generation's (Millennial) 3-4th 'once in a Lifetime' economic crisis and the last one in 2008 has yielded lower life expectancy and lower standard of living while oligarchs keep amassing more and more capital that create these bubbles in the first place.

If 70s standards of living are what are projected at least let the West decouple entirely from Russia and China and ramp up and onshore the production of renewables, and invest further into Aerospace because at least then we will have something to show for our immense amount of crisis-laden existences so that we can point to and say 'well at least we got a foundation we can build upon.'

I'm over a consumption based economy, it's pathetic and shallow way to exist which leads to ecological perils: sadly it is, along with an often fake social media presence, the only refuge for most my age for any self-validation as they deal with perpetual forms of events that destabilize them further and have robbed them of most of the hallmarks of adulthood for earlier generations: homes, children, established careers, modest savings.

Gen Z is really the one who I think will be the one to pay the price of all of this, too. If the loudest voices are to be believed they are leaning hard toward Socialism, Marxism and Communism and given what we are seeing with the CCP I think they should get some perspective of what that kind of World looks like: Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Xinjiang with Taiwan in the cross-hairs.

Even the World bank is making it clear that the proxy War with Russia in Ukraine is of vital importance and, can you imagine if China invades Taiwan what that will do to Global Stability:

> To reduce the risks of history repeating itself, the World Bank urged policymakers to coordinate aid for Ukraine, counter the spike in oil and food prices, and set up debt relief for developing economies.
It's all reverse engineered and manually re-labeled code from assembly. It's just .. an insane amount of work from the community :).
Inflation is an increase in money supply over an increase in the value of things to buy with money (or we could say the size of the economy). Money supply could increase, but if it is balanced with a growth in good supply, inflation doesn’t occur. This is why it can’t be computed directly.
Don't forget that it's health care in the US, so it'll be the same piece of leather everyone else has used, but wiped down with a Clorox wipe.
Cool, hoping to get scale8’s feedback:

Are you optimizing write & read processing from BigQuery? Is there middleware (eg materialized views, pubsub, cloud funcs?) Don’t need these?
I believe the mods replaced the medium link with the github one. The github was the source for importing into medium, so I don't think it's proper. All the formulas and images got destroyed.

> Both languages have ways to reuse objects that significantly decrease GC pressure for bottlenecks to achieve competitive performance.

I agree with that, but the consequence of these things is that developers don't have to care about it themselves. Thus these languages are usually good enough that optimization is not a concern for most devs in these ecosystems.

None of these things are language-related, though.

We didn't have specific trouble when this kind of problem came up, maybe your mileage is different ? Being used to it, it's kind of hard to understand what specifically you find hard in this.
How does inflation in Estonia impact on inflation of the rest of eurozone? Say that EE has inflation 20%, but X has 2% and they use the same currency. Will eventually (within weeks of months) impact of EE increase inflation in X?
This does not seem like a charitable interpretation of the point OP is trying to make.

At best it doubled, but that's not the same as "increased by 200%", which implies it tripled.

I'm really not a fan of IHP for that purpose due to how it redefines so much of the Haskell Prelude without making it clear it does that.
It means any kind of idea to fund healthcare. Repubs have brought zero to the table other than cutting taxes. And cutting Medicaid expansion (reducing funding for healthcare) in Repub states.

In general, “fund x” means a wealth transfer from wealthier people to poorer people to pay for “x”, and Repubs have no track record of this outside of military/police/security ventures.
I don't get it. How can it be part of the commercial version if it is not implemented.
this isn't the first time the wii u has been hacked. the most common wii u hack was simply because only code was encrypted, not the assets. so someone was able to buffer overflow the Nintendo DS emulator by replacing the assets. You run the DS game, wii u reboots jailbroken. My guess is part of the initial jailbreak the OS was dumped and decrypted and what you are seeing is from ghidra not from C source.
Unless the mistakes led to death that wouldn't have otherwise occurred in a similar timeframe, the anecdotes wouldn't even be relevant.
As someone who's not even thinking of buying a house, do fixed rate, fixed term mortgages even exist? It seems variable rate mortgages, while making financing more widely accessible, have caused their fair share of financial issues/instability.
In some ways the graduate student is working on the most important work of their career. A PhD requires novel publications and if you get scooped on the main result of your thesis so that you don’t end up with the published paper on that topic very few organizations will grant the PhD. So this can result in losing out on getting a degree you put five years of your life into.
To be fair, Elm is also very stable and has not seen any new release since 2019. Not for lack of maintenance but simple because the author does not consider any of those bugs to be of need for immediate fixes. Plus communication has been, that Elm will probably stay mostly the same for a long time.

It just doesn't have the churn that plagues the rest of JS-world.

Elm is an absolute dictatorship but that is hardly that unique in the programming language world. There is also Gren https://gren-lang.org/ if you want to have a (probably?) more open fork.

But, yes Elm is a language build for very specific purposes with very strong opinions about how it should be used. If you have a project that fits the use case it will be awesome otherwise just don't.
Don't behave like a cartel if you don't want to be called one.

From limiting residency slots, making it nearly impossible to hire foreign doctors and lobbying for safe medications that are sold over the counter in the rest of the world to be sold as prescription only in the US. Just to name a few, the AMA has served it's members well to the detriment of anyone buying healthcare in the United States. That to me is a cartel, they just use a "certificate of need" to enforce it's will rather than a gun.
What I'm arguing is not whether freedom of speech in China has changed. What I'm arguing is that Chinese people, by and large, value different kinds of freedoms, assigning different priorities. It's like telling an average social media user about the erosion of the freedom to self-host and the erosion of Free Software values. The average user cares about very different things.

The data from decades of research is very clear on this. People like your girlfriend and her social circle, who value freedom of speech the most, are a minority in China. A decreasing minority even. By and large, people are happy with the direction of China. Even if various groups may disagree with specific parts of policy, overall satisfaction is quite high. Freedom of speech is considered a nice to have, not a must, and ranks below many other things such as freedom from poverty, freedom to get quality education, freedom from disease, freedom from anarchy, freedom of security, etc.

This will be held up as a failure of progressive politics.

Nationally, media will ignore the community progressed right on from their mistake.

That is actual progressive politics; moving politics along.

Conservatism is keeping the same defective political process in place and forcing deference to it.

Progressivism is not embodied in one DA, or policy pipe dream. It’s simply not being kowtowed by the past.

You fund a bit to the state pension and a bit to a private pension. Based on a previous comment Estonia allowed you to cash out the private pension. I assume. Romania has something similar where you pay for your state pension, mandatory level 1 private pension, and optionally a level 2/3 private pension. State + level 1 private pensions work as you'd expect, whereas level2/3 generally have cash-out terms. It's not either/or, if you want a level 3 private pension you need to contribute to both level 1&2.

edit: replace level with pillar, as I couldn't think of the word and saw it used by sibling comment after posting.
I'm trying to remember where I heard this from, but I found this idea pretty useful.

Mainly because I know what inflation is, but I didn't spend enough time thinking about what it means and what it tells me.

> Inflation is simply the delta between a past price and the current one, over a set of goods / services, which we represent using an average of some kind, usually ignoring certain kinds of price changes. For example some inflation measures ignore rent.

> It would be useful to have every measure of inflation cite the raw vector (which would be good to standardise) as well as listing what it excludes visibly.

> The underlying vector would show us much more, such as are all prices increasing / decreasing? Are some going in the opposite direction?

This would give us space to have a more nuanced discussion about causes and how much weight they may have.

As I understand it mental healthcare as it exists right now literally cannot handle a large influx of patients. Good mental health professionals are often no longer taking any insurance since the demand is so high and they can not deal with the hassle. So simply doing something like government insurance for everyone will not help the situation.
