Savings are low. We have supply issues -- just not enough stuff, including food, even if you had all the money in the world.

It is a joke now that people complained about babyfood and government said it will give money; only to get a reply of: no there just isn't any baby food delivered.

Increasing rates will likely have the opposite result. The goal of the Fed is to break the backs of people with low means. I am not sure why I should applaud that instead of the government doing its job and taking steps and establish agreements to stabilize supply of oil and food. Generally establish "world peace for trade" again.

P.S. Yes I know there is a war out there but right now U.S. oil companies are simply not improving supply to even pre pandemic levels.

P.S.2 We opened the economy too early, and by we I mean the government. You need to have the resources to run the economy. We did not.

Russian isn't banned in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians use Russian in their day to day life just fine. You can hear Russian spoken by Ukrainians on the battlefield.

> not shelling cities

Check photos from Donetsk in e.g. 2020, city ~10 kilometers from the frontline. Does it look destroyed? No, it looks like any peacetime city.

There were artillery exchanges between both sides targeting military fortifications. Civilian casualties in the last few years have been minimal.

But this doesn't really matter either way. Putin doesn't care about civilian casualties, otherwise why would he start this war?
Ticks in california don't carry lyme typically. I'd be a lot more worried if you were on Long Island or on the east coast generally.

There is a counter view that the US economy experienced a variation of dutch disease by being the world's reserve currency. In this view, being the world's reserve currency forced the US to "export" dollars and "import" goods. Making goods manufactured from USD jurisdictions irrationally non-competitive.

The reason "dutch disease" is a problem for resource producing countries is that manufacturing productivity growth is much stronger compared to commodity production. It's better to be a manufacturing powerhouse than it is to be a commodity powerhouse.

It's entirely plausible that services are the same way, it's better to make things for other people than to do things for other people.
The Intercept article is about activists working in progressive political organizations, not about whether people who have particular pronouns are somehow corrosive to organizational goals. Having clearly-stated preferences for how you're addressed isn't activism. It is, in fact, basic nuts-and-bolts professionalism; voicing a negative reaction to such a preference is in fact more akin to activism.
I always thought that battleships were ursurped by carriers. Aircraft killed the battleships.
The returns that capital demands (and the government obliges to) are ultimately unsustainable. That's the core problem here.

Rising wages? There has been no meaningful real increase in wages in 40 years despite a massive increase in productivity. Profits keep going up and up. The expectations for profits keep going up. The problem here is that the people who make companies possible don't get to share in the proceeds of what they contribute to.

Rising wages and lower profits would actually represent in workers actually getting an actual real increase in wages and getting a greater share in the fruits of their labor. But no, that's unacceptable. We have to raise prices to maintain the profits and effectively erode those wage increases.

The real failure here is the government.

Take rising energy prices. The government could take action to hasten development of existing leases and/or restrict the export of refined petroleum products. Oil hasn't gotten more expensive to produce. Oil and gas companies are simply raking in massive profits.

What we actually need is a system like Norway where we don't simply give away natural resources like this for private investors to profit off. At least in Norway, the government is making a ton of revenue from the increased prices, which it can direct back to people who need it.

Housing? Shelter is or should be a human right. What we're allowing to happen here through investors buying up housing stock (and jacking up the prices), second homes, AirBnB and so on has reached the point of being a human rights violation IMHO. Also those skyrocketing rents do even more to erode the income of particularly lower income people to keep them living paycheck to paycheck.

This is modern serfdom in action. The government acts at the behest of the capital-owning class regardless of party and part of that is having a compliant labor pool. This is turning into the West's version of Pakistan's brick kilns.

After going into massive debt for college, having to pay a huge amount for your car, gas and rent and so on, you're absolutely showing up to work. That's the point.

False. In the immediate future, synthetic anhydrous ammonia will displace it. Extracting NG will be too expensive to compete, because the only cost of ammonia will be capex. The more you make, the less it costs.

"Executives at 141 oil companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in mid-March offered several reasons that they weren’t pumping more oil. They said they were short of workers and sand, which is used to fracture shale fields to coax oil out of rock. But the most salient reason — the one offered by 60 percent of respondents — was that investors don’t want companies to produce a lot more oil, fearing that it will hasten the end of high oil prices."

Unfortunately it really depends on which side of inflation one is in. Wage increases still help in an inflationary environment if one has existing debt (i.e. a mortgage).

Furthermore, a lot of inflation is in housing itself, so if one already is a homeowner, then a significant amount of inflation is bypassed.

Berry farming in Calfornia is rapidly disappearing because our cost of living is so high it makes it more economical to ship year round from Chile. Many other crops will likely follow, at least according to a friend in agricultural finance.

Medium term, as the global QoL increases the cost of labor for intensive crops are going make our diets very bland without further mechanization.

Fruit picking is monotonous and back breaking work that pays absolutely miserably. That we have to import labor to do it, and even imported labor complains and strikes about pay says a lot.

The mistake is that, most poor peoples largest expense is housing, and most poor people rent. Those who own have mortgages. Sure their $30K student loans (already on income based repayments) may benefit from inflation, but housing prices certainly not.

Let's not argue semantics. Building new plants, extending existing ones, digging more coal or importing it from abroad.

It's all the same. "Green" energy failed, even for one of its biggest proponents.

My grandfather carried $3k in his wallet every day for the same reason.
> I think the electric future s 15-30 years away, not 8-15

This definitely varies on the definition of "the electric future" is. Are we in the electric future when the number of total passenger miles driven increases or stays the same while the gallons of gas combusted for passenger car travel decreases? Is it when >50% of cars on the road are electric? 100% of passenger cars?
The concept of "inflating debt away" is an assumption that wages match inflation while debt stays static. This is a fair assumption in low inflation times, but is showing some cracks these days.

One might then ask, do higher-class wages match/exceed inflation more than lower-class wages? This is debatable. But here's some interesting data from the Atlanta FED, where you can track wages by quintile, education, "skill", hourly vs. non-hourly, etc. Make your own conclusions.

Yeah (as sibling poster pointed out) I guess that it was more of a distraction point from throwaway. I just read and thought of it in broader terms of oil and gas being super important to any modern civilization.

What you say is true though, short term, but I think I might still rather be in Russia's position in terms of fossil fuels than that of the US, when we look at things long term. What Russia has the option of doing - which is also being discussed elsewhere in this thread - is using those resources domestically, to grow/develop its own industries and (currently dwindling) population. In fact that's what they're being pushed to do by the sanctions (as they have been developing their agriculture as a response to previous sanctions). I've been really really skeptic of the sanctions (to put it mildly) since the beginning. They will always find ways to sell their resources (if they want to).

Scarcity mindset is real. I studied abroad in France, and the government promised up and down that they would cover my housing only to reneg a few days before my trip (long after I had secured my student loan money, bought my flight, etc) and saddled me with a $600/month payment and no income. I was counting individual bus trips into town and skipping meals (I went from 160 to 140 pounds in a few months) to save up 60 euros for a RyanAir flight to visit my then-girlfriend-now-wife who was studying in Austria at the time (and I broke down when I was forced to miss it because I put my luggage in a train station locker that advertised "24 hours" but the room housing the lockers was only available during the day, and this was not advertised).

Even after I graduated and got a series of increasingly high-paying engineering jobs, I couldn't shake the scarcity mindset, and I would scrimp and save (although I didn't skip meals any longer!). In time (with a whole lot of help and encouragement with my wife), I was able to largely overcome it. We're still very conservative with our money--we're probably in the top 10% of Americans with respect to income, but we spend like we're median (or lower) Americans and save the difference. However, now it's because we want to retire early or pursue other loftier goals (some combination of traveling the world, buying a hobby farm, and/or starting a small business) rather than my debilitating anxiety.

(Since we're getting a little political) It also makes it hard to sympathize with my peers who didn't work, skipped class, lived in the dorms, paid for meal plans and still went out to eat several times a week, bought daily $7 lattes, and majored in some art history or leisure services or (non-teaching) English Literature when they insist that the government should forgive their enormous student loan debt (I'm fine with universal education, but no one should be surprised that they have to repay the debt that financed their unsustainable lifestyle or demand that society foot the bill).
Some examples, inspired by my own automations or ones I've seen implemented:

- Warns me if I leave my garage door open, but only if I'm not home. Optionally close it remotely. Provide video feed to see if it's safe to remotely close.

- When I walk out the door, warns me if I have windows or doors open or the stove's on. Automatically arms security. Automatically turn off all lights, music, heat, etc but only if I don't have guests over.

- If burglar alarm goes off, turn on interior lights, flash exterior lights, turn on the radio, trigger my car's alarm, push relevant video feed to phone. If the alarm is disarmed, use the same presence and door sensors to turn lights on and off automatically.

- Triggers notifications (or the alarm as appropriate) if cams detect a human. Turn off certain cams if anyone's home.

- When any of my 3d printers finish, ring my phone. Optionally cut power to the printers if something goes wrong.

- Warn me when the garage door opens and it's below freezing outside.

- If any of my electrical circuits go over-current, warn me and optionally automatically shed some load.

- If it's about to rain, automatically close windows and disable the sprinkler system.

- Open the blinds when my smartphone alarm goes off.

- Defer car charging, running the dryer, etc until solar panels have excess capacity.

- Warn me if my fridge or other critical things stop working.

All of these things use equipment from different manufacturers.

> Any question of personhood should be evaluated on the basis that we evaluate ourselves and others: by action and behavior, and not on whether sentience can or cannot arise from this or that configuration of code.

But what is action and behavior? We have a single interface to LaMDA: given a partially completed document, predict the next word. By iterating this process, we can make it predict a sentence, or paragraph. Continuing in this way, we could have it write a hypothetical dialogue between an AI and a human, but that is hardly a "canonical" way of using LaMDA, and there is no reason to identify the AI character in the document with LaMDA itself.

All this to say, I am not sure what you mean when you say it "claims sentience". What does it mean for it to "claim" something? Presumably, e.g., advanced image processing networks are as internally complex as LaMDA. But the interface to an advanced image processing network is, you put in an image, it gives out a list of objects and bounding boxes it detected in the image. What would it mean for such a network to claim sentience? LaMDA is no different, in that our interface to LaMDA does not allow us to ask it to "claim" things to us, only to predict likely completions of documents.
Yes it is easier to trust the patient, but unfortunately many medical professionals have implicit bias and don't.
There are some of these pieces of advice I don't agree with, but that probably don't matter until you have some experience and know the difference.

Paints section

bricks not tubes is not a rule I'd ever follow, and many nice paints are only available as tubes. You can make bricks out of tubes as well.

More money up to $30 for what? One paint tube? A paint set?

Check pigments - what does that mean to a beginner? Nothing.

Brush section

list of rules, including a rule about no rules, is a little ridiculous.

natural vs synthetic does matter - different brushes can hold differing amount of water which affects how you paint, especially in watercolor where you don't want dry edges if you want to blend sections together. They also hold shape differently, even different natural fibers hold shape differently.

a medium round might be "all you need" without considering frustration or different techniques, but you might get a lot less frustrated having different brush shapes, and open yourself up to using different brush techniques the round won't work with.

Paper Section

Definitely don't buy paper just because its cheap.

Open it up feel the paper - for what? Until a beginner knows what they like, what area they feeling for? It's advice that doesn't help anyone do anything.

Medium heavy...relative to what? Depends on how much water you plan on using too.

paper size...depends on what you want to make. "postcard to printer paper sizes" might be ok for some things, but its small for something hanging on a wall.

trust your gut, trial and error - those are opposite recommendations. "make mistakes until you get it right" is not really advice.

I do recommend watercolor blocks, especially if they hold all edges of the watercolor paper so you have to worry less about stretching.

>old school / fun / unecessary -> this is not advice, it doesn't even mentioned what its talking about.

100% cotton paper is not "unnecessary/unnoticeable". It is definitely noticeable in how well the paper holds up to water and repeated washes, correcting mistakes, etc.

>paper weight is in lbs or gsm usually - is that advice?

>if it feels thick enough it is -> again depends on what you're intending

Other materials

Needs to recommend a hair dryer (if working at home) to speed up wash drying

The whole painting advice section is sort of...not a good way to learn any graphic discipline - graphic disciplines should be shown/demo'd graphically.

I just want to point out that the headline for this should be updated to California from "Cali" as it comes off as something somebody from out-of-state would say. For those unfamiliar with such things, you don't say "San Fran" or "Frisco" and only tourists and non-locals call it "Cali."
