Have none of these people considered that maybe the "people in the know" are "hostile" about these "data collection" actions for good reason perhaps? That maybe, just maybe the people abusing these data collection activities are doing hostile things, or taking unnecessary risks with the data, and we're concerned about the past, current, and future consequences of those actions?

I personally hate being the "I told you so" guy. I try to warn people about things like security, privacy, and backups of important data, and am frequently ridiculed as "paranoid" (and much worse) right up until their cavalier attitudes about these things bite them in the ass and they lose decades of irreplaceable important data, or they get "doxxed" or worse yet, become the victims of "identity theft" and then they inevitably come crying back to me to help them "fix it". I don't want to have to tell people "Yeah, sorry. You're screwed at this point." That never feels good to say.

This uncontrolled corporate and government collection of (what should be private) data is another such situation, where people don't need it to be happening, but they've been trained by these corporate and government entities to believe it's "necessary" or "useful" somehow, and those people absolutely refuse to accept that there may be better (and safer) ways to handle such situations other than just blanket collection of data on corporate or government servers. Maybe we're "hostile" to these activities because they're hostile activities and we're trying desperately to convince folks there's better options.
Actually higher inflation may help the poor and the middle class. If the inflation is caused by higher wages it is of great advantage of the poor and middle class. As well as a lot of the upper class (i.e., those of them that work for a living).

The present inflation is a bit of a mixed bag. It is partially caused by higher wages, but it is mostly caused by high oil prices, disturbances in grain and fertilizer sales caused by the war in ukraine and various covid related supply chain screwups.

I think the solution is to continue to address the things that can be addressed, like the covid supply chain screwups, low refining capacity, etc. Triggering a recession on purpose is really dumb.
I've been wrong before in this thread, but I have to guess that the troll argument is actually a https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum where he doesnt believe his argument as much as is using it to illustrate how absurd he finds the pronoun debate.

The idea that a libertarian modeled company is ruling by fiat, and issues a decree telling people they cant ask to be referred to by nicknames/pronouns, is somewhat absurd, and he doesnt appear to see the irony.
Anybody have a realistic TLDR?
We definitely have ticks with Lyme in CA.

I live up north and my county is a bit of a hot spot actually.

If you do get bit, don't panic. Typically the tick has to be attached for greater than 24hours before you are at risk since transmission usually occurs when the tick has to regurgitate digested blood back into you.

I've been bit too many times to count while surveying and doing site visits to hike creek beds in the spring. Never came down with Lyme. Always found the tick before it'd been on for too long.

You also learn to feel them and pick them off before they bite.
I see. I'm glad you've done it. Congratulations! Now I badly want to do it, too. :) Sometimes, I see people talking self-taught programmers down because of their lack of formal training. Have you experienced that earlier?
Why not both? Countries that didn't do significant QE are experiencing inflation, which argues that there is a significant supply side issue. Countries that did do significant QE have more inflation, which argues that QE also contributed. It appears that we're getting roughly 4% from each component.

So hopefully the Fed stops raising interest rates when inflation drops to around 4%.
How could you figure? How would they be controlled while under communication jamming? Until autonomous AI exists we'll need people on the ground.
They're relatively easily replaced and repaired.
The dot plot indicates they want the funds rate around 3.75% by end of 2023 and over 3% by start of 2023. There is absolutely no reason to do 75 today, 75 next month and 50s the rest of the 2022. That pattern is actually more shocking than just a one and done hike. An analogy would be a bad tasting medicine - I don't know anyone who prefers sipping to just down the hatch.

There is also nothing to say they can't lower the funds rate should conditions warrant, as unlikely as that may be.

Perhaps a reminder to those who are younger - the past 10 years have been an aberration and not the norm when it comes to interest rates. The US and world economies have had long periods of growth with 10 year rates of 6% or higher. The current moves are as much about current inflation as they are cover for a Fed that has been looking for a way to end the mistake of ZIRP without actually saying it was a bad idea.
To paraphrase The Chieftan (who's video is linked elsewhere in this thread but I'll included here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI7T650RTT8 ), it's not about the tank's vulnerabilities, but the capabilities it provides that have yet to be provided elsewhere.

ATGMs, RPGs, guided mortar rounds and switchblade drones are not offensive weapons that can take and hold ground. But infantry, supported by a tank which they can knock on the hatch of and tell to obliterate the machine gun nest pinning them down with instant 120mm fire, can.

When armies find something that can replace the mobile, protected, and relatively instant firepower a tank can provide to the infantry, the tank will be dead. But nothing yet has quite come along to combine those things, and so regardless of the tank's vulnerabilities, it will remain.

If I find out my coworker is a Nazi, then I'm going to be extremely uncomfortable around them even if they don't say Nazi shit at work.

What if they're my boss? How can I trust them to treat me fairly, when they very literally support the genocide of me and my family?

Why do you think that if someone — again, very literally — wants to murder me, that won't affect the way they treat me or discuss me when I'm not around?
I generally agree with all of this, though, i think two of the points may see counter-intuitive outcomes:

>* Housing bubble. Near zero central bank/bank interest rates has inflated a housing bubble. Higher interest rates will decrease housing prices since fewer buyers will be able to afford higher interest mortages.

Ehh... we should expect this, but supply may meet demand, instead of the other way around. We could see an unprecedented ramp down in the already unprecedentedly low inventory.

>* Less investment companies buying up farmland. It will be more expensive to finance these deals

I would be skeptical of this. There will be fewer financed deals, but there are likely firms out there betting on these rate hikes failing, which still make farmland a safe bet against inflation.

Any change at all from the ideal will disproportionately negatively affect the poor, marginalized, disadvantaged, etc. This is true in any sphere of life, not just economics.

That's why "love your neighbor as yourself" is indispensable. No policy or variable tweaking can take the place of simply caring for others.
I’m not saying I’m against this law, but it gets messy very fast.

When a business is busy is a part of Google Maps, but no one else but Apple could realistically try to duplicate it. That’s a hell of a wall against innovation.

But can Google include that graph in search results? It’s part of Maps. But it’s derived from location data. But Google Search has location data, so maybe. But what if that would show different busy time? Do you have to show a different graph?

What does Google Assistant do?

Yes and the reasons that they don't get extended indefinitely is because it gets increasingly expensive to modernise and follow the new rules. On top of that is that regulators are becoming more reluctant to extend the lifetime, because the unknown factors increase (cue complaints about regulation). The reason they don't get extended that it is not economical compared to using wind/solar instead. Why do you think coal plants don't get operated indefinitely?
What you say may sound good in theory. But how will you implement it?

Everyone who is worth billions has their worth in shares. so if it goes beyond a billion, you tax it away. What if it falls, will you give it back? so you will keep redistributing and giving it back?

If you don't have renewables for a while, and transmission line availability flags, you import anhydrous ammonia from the tropics. So, you need only minimal over-provisioning and local storage.
exactly, it was never about attitude, it's about deterministic real-time. C/C++ are low level systems languages for real-time control applications. In that case garbage collection, a non-deterministic unpredictable stop-the world pause, simply is out. so you have to have a base language without GC. you can use garbage collection via libraries in c/c++ if you don't need deterministic real time. It never was about "not liking" GC or "thinking it's garbage".
I think it’s made to be political but I think the line of what is or isn’t political and avoiding it is itself a political behavior by its nature. It’s inherently political to say one name change is political because “I will go by Jacob instead of Jessica”, and another name change isn’t political because of “only my dad calls me David, I go by Dave”.
In the case of my city (Indianapolis), I have found that many meetups are now coordinated on specific Discord servers instead of meetup.com. There are probably other places I'm not aware of where others have moved to. The result is that in 2022, it's probably best to search for meetups via Google rather than relying solely on meetup.com.
Yeah, traditional Boolean search would be an improvement in some ways: “show me men taller than 6, or programmers of any height” (heh), but that’s either too overwhelming for users, or promotes spam or scraping or stalking or something. But maybe more choice isn’t the answer. Or maybe if you gave people the flexibility, they would be more cognizant of all the things they’re missing out on, and of the difficulty of getting it right, and take a less targeted approach with less “overfitting”. But the current system of independent “AND” cutoffs is what people get forced into. And an algorithm is a good alternative, but people don’t trust the algorithms much.
As an outdoorsy person I just want that damn vaccine to come back. Even if its the weird one that is very similar to what you can currently give to your dog it would be a lot better than nothing.

The middle class is the largest holder of student loan debt.

Poor people either don't go to college, or go to a cheap community college, or get scholarships/financial aid.

Very rich families just pay for college without taking out student loans.

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/10/09/who-owes-...

> The highest-income 40 percent of households (those with incomes above $74,000) owe almost 60 percent of the outstanding education debt and make almost three-quarters of the payments. The lowest-income 40 percent of households hold just under 20 percent of the outstanding debt and make only 10 percent of the payments.

Also, medical and credit card debt can generally be discharged in bankruptcy. Student loan debt can't, but consider this from the same link:

> What may be more surprising, however, is the difference in payment burdens. A growing share of borrowers participate in income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, which do not require any payments from those whose incomes are too low and limit payments to an affordable share of income for others. And some borrowers are in forbearance or deferment because of financial hardships. As a result, out-of-pocket loan payments are concentrated among high-income households; few low-income households enrolled in IDR are required to make payments.

That's my struggle with this part, and that was my point with the less bargaining power. Everything else you say is true, but I have concerns about this bit. My wage required a job jump to increase and I'm by no means lower middle class.
No rights are absolute, they all have limitations when they impede on other rights. A history of unfair labor practices has established a precedent of limitations on "free association." Even the right to life has limitations in the US, if a judge finds you sufficiently heinous.

> ## History

* history is cool but optional
* watercolor originates from africa / the middle east
* where gum arabic comes from traditionally
* it was used to produce ancient artworks / maybe prehistoric
* it reached europe in the middle ages
* used for spooky illuminated manuscripts
* gum arabic is the traditional binder in watercolor
* fun fact you can eat gum arabic and they use it in desserts
* it smells delicious
* dont eat your watercolors
* all paint is primarily pigment + binder
* oil paint uses oil as its binder
* acrylic uses acrylic
* watercolor uses gum arabic or synthetic replacements
* its special property is its water solubility
* it remains semi-soluble even after drying
* but it resists increasingly as it ages
* thats why you use water with it
* also why you can layer etc
* good to know maybe
Note that some retailers can and do store and forward transactions, for example with gas stations using satellite connectivity for payment processing. The amount one stores depends upon one's fraud tolerance.

There are attacks where bad guys will disable a gas station's dish (by covering it with foil among other methods) and then rack up a bunch of gasoline sales with a stolen card.

That sounds like a lot of work, with added risks.

With our system, our bills get paid with the money we have, and then when we make more money, it just goes back to the buffer account. Overflow goes into investing.

Middle/upper class hold a higher nominal value. Lower class tends to hold a higher debt level to their income, and it tends to be in high interest revolvers such as credit cards which are almost impossible to pay off if all you can afford is to make the bare minimum monthly payment.

Actually, I graduated right after the 08/09 crash and had to go into graduate study shortly. After graduation as a Ms.c it still took me a few years to get an IT job (master has nothing to do with IT). But if I'm fired right now, I really have no confidence that I can easily grab an equivalent job. Part of the reason is that during these years I had to hop a few jobs to reach something I really want to do, so my experience in the field is very little (<= 2 years).
