Even if sacrifice and selflessness were always the same, if one would treat having your own kids differently to adopting a newborn, all other things equal, then at least part of your desire to have kids is some kind of "selfish" motivation, rather than a purely altruistic endeavour to bring up a child or contribute to the workforce of tomorrow (or whatever the ostensible motivation is).

If one actually only cared about performing a service for the child and/or future society why do the exact genes matter?

Unless one actually thinks ones own genes are so superior that they're a service in their own right, in which case, one should be having as many children as possible.

Conversely, if one thinks that by having a child is some kind of cost, either to the child or society (or anything other than oneself), it can be a selfless choice to not have the child, even if you personally wanted one.

Killing off that trade would surely spike inflation.
Luck is enough. The average road is about 2 accidents per million miles. https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/highway/acci... so if we assume the OP doesn't drive drunk he is isn't enough above average to claim skill based on the evidence we have.

More importantly, the OP should not claim skill even if he has some: that leads to complacency. If he claims luck he is more likely to admit he isn't perfect and thus pay attention to changes in what he best practice for driving. What he was taught in drivers training 20 years ago assuredly has some things that we now know were wrong, and it didn't even cover some things we now know is important.

Inflation isn't 1 thing and it doesn't have 1 cause. There are many ways to measure inflation.

What you are suggesting, is exactly what economists and central bankers try to figure out. To adjust monetary policy correctly you need to differentiate these things.

Many of the policy recommend associated with inflation are really only associated with the first type of inflation. If its supply sides, then the recommended responses are totally different.

2008 is actually a good case, the central bank didn't react correctly because high oil prices were giving them false information.

Sure, but you also can't help chaotic, random events taking place that make any potential plans to do that go up in smoke. The alternative in this specific issue (i.e. not standing up to Russia) is likely just further dependency on oil/natural gas from Russia and eventually just being outright colonized because you are so dependent that you can't resist. Dropping off even at a high cost protects Estonian sovereignty.
I’m not sure my first reaction to the use of process ids as query params for session identification would be ‘my, that is an an elegant solution’.

The pension system in Estonia has 3 tiers.

Everyone has the 1st, basic tier ("State pension"). Then there's the 2nd tier called the "Mandatory funded pension" which is the one that held the most savings and was "freed" now and then there's the 3rd one called "Supplementary funded pension" which has always been "free" as in you can stuff money in there and you can take it out as well.

People who blew their 2nd tier on a new car/TV/vacation/paying existing loans will still have the 1st tier but that will only guarantee a pension that's big enough that you won't directly starve but it's not big enough to actually let you live either.
Then how can it be only 9%? My gas price has increased by 200% in the last few months. In August, my electricity is going up 400%. Petrol alone has gone up by about 50% compared to few months back.

Sure bread is still roughly the same as it was. But living costs have absolutely exploded recently, and far far beyond the 9% indicated.
To be fair, the initial phrase recognition probably wouldn't require 'listening' as such - the trigger phrase could be a very simple program that doesn't have the capability to do anything other than recognise a keyword, and then it bootstraps a program that actually listens to you when it detects it

A lot of software still doesn't handle unicode well. Classic example being anything parsing SSIDs from Wireless access points.

I wanted to name my network five bleading hearts or "JEFFREY EPSTEIN SUICIDE SQUAD", but I had to settle for "EPSTEIN SUICIDE SQUAD" due to unicode issues + character limits.

I previously used the network name "FLESHLIGHT" about a decade ago in college, but I was told such a name might offend the neighbors so I picked a different one when I moved back.

TL;DR: The issue isn't bandwidth.
Indeed, those obstacles are easy to overcome, but someone has to point a beginner in the right direction.

As I understand it, the ability to program Arduino in C was originally kind of an accidental feature of Arduino. The original Arduino downplayed C, and referred to the programming language as "wire." A few people (myself included) discovered that by simply ignoring those constructs, Arduino becomes a full fledged C development environment. But I think doing things "the right way" on a microcontroller really requires learning concepts that are not beginner friendly, like interrupts, and for that matter, electronics.
Possibly. But, FWIW, this was posted a few days ago and it was good at explaining the design decisions in NetBSD's rc system over earlier versions that FreeBSD uses as well (there are a few differences): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31637755.

Can't confirm Estonia but certainly looks credible for Slovakia (1.35% - mine is 0.9%). But beware those are variable rates, so not fixed over the whole mortgage timespan but like 1/3/5/10 years, with 10 years being unusual and also the highest rate. So a lot of people who took out mortgages with 0.6% fixed for 1 or 3 years will have a hard time as the rates will climb significantly soon.

The Logical Fallacy Guide
The problem I find with lots of politicians is not balancing both short term and long term solutions.

Republicans: mental health is definitely an issue that needs to be solved in regards to guns but that's a long term solution - we also need a short term solution of preventing people who shouldn't have access to guns in the first place.

Democrats: There are racial issues in this country that can be solved in the long term through education and investment in communities. That being said crime is crime, and we also need a short term solution of arresting and prosecuting people who commit crimes - no matter what their circumstances are. Reform NOT defund the police.
The only time the HR department has been a great help for me was in a layoff situation. I was part of a general 20% cut a few years ago, and the layoffs were staggered over six tranches spread over four months. Why the spread? To avoid reporting requirements that would trigger with that many people leaving at once.

I was slotted for the last release. At the end of the summer. Just before my kids would return to college / high school. The first release was in May. I could spend the whole summer thinking about what to do next, and beach days with my kids.

So I told management, I am out of here in May. They said 'no, and if you leave, you lose your vacation pay and severance'.

So I called HR, explained my thinking, and told them to get me out of there in May. Management was not happy, but HR took full responsibility for the moved date. And I got to spend a glorious late spring and early summer lazing about before reentering the work force.

> They don't have any more RAM than they did... 10 years ago

What do you mean? Today, building a desktop PC with 64GB or even 128GB of RAM on board is affordable. 10 years ago it was 8GB or 16GB at most.

> They run software that used to run in 0.9ms in 0.72ms and no one cares. It's all instant to me.

Maybe that's true for single-core performance, but nowadays you can get a 16-core CPU at home which I think is mindblowing. It's very beneficial for tasks such as compilation or rendering and can save you minutes (and it adds up).

> The graphics got better, but not hugely so. 2015 GPUs still run... everything

In my opinion, the difference between 2015 and 2022 is quite drastic. You can buy a display with an 8K resolution, 4K + 144hz, QD-OLED. All of these make a huge difference and they weren't available or affordable back in 2015. That's only speaking of productivity; for graphics in games, have you seen Unreal Engine 5 demos? And that's just a start of the next generation!
The stated 7% loosely corresponds to what I am seeing.

Remember it is a broad statistic.

So even though you notice your kebab going from 5 to 6 euros, you may not notice that a new pair of glasses is the same price as it was last year.
That might work for some measures of inflation, but it doesn't work for the 'GDP Deflator' for example. That is a different way to measure inflation (and a more exact one) and it not so easy to fake.

And even if we go with CPI stuff, the agencies that do these things try to stay consistent. At least in western countries they don't just do whatever they want.

The idea that all departments of all western governments are secretly changing the data inputs to achieve some sort of grand conspiracy about inflation number is pretty much delusional thinking.
I am both in favor of several of Boudin’s policies and the effort to recall. SF citizens have a right to be pissed off. And innovation in policy is needed.
The graph looks really odd to me too. Even allowing for an uneven distribution of inflation rates, The 'Eurozone average' is way down near the bottom, suggesting most countries have above average inflation --which seems a bit like the old oxymoron "80% of motorists consider themselves to be above average drivers"
That's £144.45k a year for the extra time. After tax.

I'd do the time and keep the cash.

Plus you get released around half way through (or less) so that like ends up being almost £300k a year. Seems like an easy choice.
I think what's missing here is in case 1, it's not just the amount of money, but how much money is chasing each available good. You can imagine if the money supply doubles, a loaf of bread can be the same price as before if there are twice as many people demanding the same portion of bread (for a very crude approximation)

Or to put it another way, maybe case 1 is demand-side inflation, and case 2 is supply-side inflation.
There's this constant tug of war between supply/demand (also applies to powerful/regular folks, those with money/without, etc). Inflation is the delta by which one side is winning against the other.
>How the fuck do we end up with a normalised rate of inflation of 6-7%?

I don't know about Sweden, but the BLS publishes their data and methodology for the CPI calculation. You can quibble about details, that's fair, but it's transparent. It's based on a basket of goods and proportional spending on those goods in the basket. In some calculations food and fuel are excluded because of volatility (controversial, for obviously reasons). Like all averages, it's not going to accurate on any individual level.
> Here in Lithuania we were already independent from Russian gas and oil

Is that a fact? I know that Lithuania doesn't buy Russian oil and gas directly, but it always seemed to me that it is still the same Russian oil and gas, just through an intermediate supplier.

Inflation is an increase in the money supply.

If you see everything from this lens then it all makes sense.

Prices of specific commodities and consumables may rise or fall, but if the money supply and demand remains the same the overall combined price of everything remains the same.
That's what OpenBSD did:

Another is animal cruelty, pursued by animal charities. Basically it's when someone's committed a crime but the CPS (equivalent of the DA) is never going to bother to prosecute them so you volunteer to organise the prosecution yourself.
It's not a legal or insurance issue, it's a data gathering and classification issue. There is no such thing as a standard patient. Especially when it comes to surgical procedures, everyone is unique. We generally don't have ways to accurately assess the impact of factors like patient age, fitness level, body composition, and co-morbid conditions. So instituting a quality measurement system like you describe would have the perverse effect of causing physicians to keep their numbers up by refusing to take the riskiest patients on at all.
What’s useful about FreeBSD is that one can understand the whole system and have a complete model of it in your mind. Then you feel like it’s an extension of yourself. With Linux complexity skyrockets and sub-systems are not always consistent.
> I don't understand inflation

Justifying inflation is a bit like justifying climate change: everyone (or at least most) agree on the effect but there are as many chains of causation as people who agree on the effect
It might (just barely) be an accurate description of (some) of the issues, but it is absolutely not "so true".

OSS is not a de-facto standard, and has many issues that led to us moving on from it back in the late 1990s.

It might offer you precisely what you want, but it does not solve all the problems, and in addition is still absolutely the wrong API to offer for application development. Hint: you don't use open/read/write/close to do video, and for some similar reasons and some different ones, it's the wrong model for audio too.

I've been doing audio development on Linux (and macOS and tangentially Windows) for more than 20 years. I wrote device drivers for pro-audio interfaces, application frameworks (JACK) and large applications (Ardour); I used to have to spend the closing part of the aughts and early part of the 2010's explaining to seriously misinformed people what all the problems with OSS were. That doesn't mean that there have not been issues with audio on Linux, but OSS (4 or otherwise) is not the answer to those problems and never was.
Tempted to use that "always has been" meme template here.

As an ex-doctor, I can tell you that I very quickly realised that at the top of my "surgical sieve" (a mnemonic that helps docs consider categories of differential diagnoses) one should always start with the category "Iatrogenic" before considering other, more textbook-medicine differentials.

And also that for some reason, most doctors seem to treat this category as last on the list, if they think of it at all.

It's exactly what it sounds like - a criminal prosecution pursued by a private person.

This is possible because otherwise, you are at the whim of the Crown (or in the USA, the District Attorney) as to whether or not a crime gets prosecuted. It doesn't seem equitable for a crime to be committed but never prosecuted because the government doesn't care, or doesn't have the resources to do so. The same standards of evidence apply.

It's rarely invoked (but not unheard of), and given how topical Chesa Boudin is at the moment, you can see the reasoning.
So, what happens when you sleep and any of your 100 servers go down; or you are on vacation; or you get hit by a bus; etc. and they need somebody with BSD skills to fix it? Don't tell me that doesn't happen.

The words "single handedly" are a dead give away: you're a single point of failure unless there's more than 1 of you.

It might be easier for you personally. But for a typical organization finding 4-6 of you would be a challenge. And unless they would, it would be a problem waiting to happen.
Not 100% sure about Estonia but at least here in Finland mortgages are usually some margin + Euribor. Maybe with optional cap on max interest rate (that usually pushes the margin up to compensate). If you manage to get a fixed rate it is usually way higher then Euribor at that moment and still only fixed for the first 7 or 10 years of the loan after that usually 12month Euribor.

For example I am currently paying only margin (Euribor was still negative when the Euribor rate was last updated for the 12month rate that I am using) so 0.4%. With Euribor steadily creeping up expecting to 3 or 4x the interest portion of my loan at the end of the year but not a big deal personally.

“State” means the current state of the program.

What elms lacks is mutation of that state - you never change it, but only have a function taking the old state, and returning the new state. Thus every change is atomic, and you can record each change and in the debugger travel back and forth in time.

Maybe calling immutable programming “stateless” is a misnomer, but “immutable state” would be better.
