> Advocating for higher wages to fight inflation is non-sensical. It just exacerbates inflation and requires even further wage gains to keep even.

By exacerbate I suppose you're imagining a cycle where higher wages result in higher prices which result in higher wages and so on. However wages are just another price in the market and it's not clear why the cycle needs to be broken after all prices have gone up except wages. We don't need to let workers end up holding the bag yet again.

Thank you for sharing.

I was not in support of her until I saw this video. She calmly handled a crowd of kids yelling what the one adult was telling them to repeat, and now I think she's an excellent leader.

I donate to climate action regularly btw, the issue is more nuanced than whatever these bozos wanted from her.
I flew from Ohio to Melbourne back in ~2001. It was CMH-DEN-LAX-MEL. The leg from DEN to LAX was a 747 and there were probably 30 passengers in the entire plane. I was near the back of the plane and it gave me an entirely new perspective of just how much they bend and twist in flight. You could see the walls above the wings sort of bow in when lifting off.

Probably tied with hot air balloons for least efficient transport I've ever taken.

(For the leg from LAX to MEL i had the aisle seat beside the shitter galley in the back. 14 hours of people fanning their farts in my face.)
Employers don't have to disclose their identity, it's up to them! Many of the founders of these organizations are pseudonymous themselves.
Why, every time someone suggests a fix to something they see as a problem (regardless of whether it's actually a problem, or even the merit of the solution), is there no shortage of people saying "yeah but what about these unrelated problems?!"

I think everything you suggested is something that should be addressed in one way or another. I think banning the sale of medical data is probably a good thing more often than not. All these things can be true, but responding to a statement about banning the sale of medical data with "yeah well what about the post office?!" seems weird, and perhaps politically motivated.
The sooner we realize as a society that behavior impacts outcomes, and seriously believe that it is the key driver. The sooner we will have an equitable society.
Oh, you're a tesla apologist then? For each of those groups, the AP case is much more forgiving as both the self-driving case and human driving case need to handle all driving conditions whereas AP only needs to handle the safest of conditions (especially safest on a per-mile basis).

Oh, and bonus: "other self-driving systems", Tesla's AP and FSD (despite it's name literally being "full self-driving") are not self-driving systems.
A downside is that it strengthens huge companies (e.g. Google, Apple) that have that information from one of their products (e.g. Google Maps) and are able to use it in another one (e.g. Google Ads).

That being said, data brokers seem to be rather poorly behaved players in the market with little respects for users privacy. So it's a tradeoff I guess.
then why was the administration dismissing it as temporary before the invasion?

inflation was clearly caused by injecting trillions into the economy for "covid" slush funds.

as far as energy goes, we were net exporters until the federal restrictions started coming in, only then did we start relying on foreign production.

blaming your domestic problems on a foreign adversary is routine, but it's not accurate, helpful, or even actionable.

does the "putin price hike" talking point really work on anyone? do they think we have memories of a gold fish?

> Software is an extremely scalable business where the marginal cost of every copy beyond the first is nearly zero.

and

> If you can drive the cost of doing business and your inputs toward zero almost any business idea could theoretically make a profit... but real markets are not so accommodating.

I agree with many of your points, but these vary by product. For example, FAANGs sometimes have applications where some inputs don’t scale well, e.g. the local knowledge that goes into mapping apps. But the company often provides the service for free and benefits from volunteers (free labour) adding valuable information like “this road is closed”. That product feeds into the ads part of the business, which does scale really well.

I’ve also noticed that FAANGs sometimes outsource work that doesn’t scale as easily. The contracting companies are either in cheaper countries or they’ll accept a smaller profit margin. Or both. The devs and analysts at those companies indirectly contribute to the FAANG’s product, but don’t get the bumper salaries.

Put another way, I think big tech companies do often try to “drive their inputs toward zero” (to paraphrase a little) but US-based devs don’t often experience it.
We built it - do you mean our budgeting isn't very good? Was it better before? Were NASA programs on budget historically?
(bit late on the reply, sorry)Caveat; I think EV are far superior to ICE vehicles in every measurable metric.

That said, I don't understand what you mean. 9.9/10 of new, non motorsports ICE vehicles are backed by warranty bumper to bumper for 60-100k miles.
Further, the parts/labor pipeline is massive.OEM/aftermarket keep producing parts for years after the vehicle's generation stops being sold as new.

In the case of Tesla and some Boutique EVs, there is no aftermarket, and there's litigation from Tesla if you try to repair/produce aftermarket parts. "At least tesla mostly keeps updating their older car's software" is not a positive. It should be guaranteed for 60k-100k miles, and the aftermarket should be allowed to repair it.

Tesla makes their vehicles "legacy" on purpose.

Get out a calendar. Look at when the inflation started (last fall!). Then look at when the Ukraine war started.

Has the Ukraine war made the inflation problem worse? Yes. Did it cause the problem? Absolutely not!
That's a pretty narrow view of society. Many people work with people they don't want to, don't like, hate, despise even.
Wish there was a good solution to the problem of those in mental decline keeping hold of a political office. I don't like the idea of strict age limits since different people age at different rates. Any sort of competency test is likely to end up being gamed by one side or the other. Ultimately it is up to the voters in the electing jurisdiction to decide. Much of the problem in the Senate and House seems to stem from these very old office holders having accumulated lots of power. Some of that is due to seniority rules. Perhaps once an office holder gets past their first term, "seniority" should be assigned by rotation or random, rather than by how many times to same person has been sent back to Washington. The current system seems to reward power hoarding and punishes those districts/states that give undesirable politicians the boot.
I am not able to verify the accuracy of your calculations, but for comparison, Delta circa 2018 marketed how its entire fleet (flying at a pretty high capacity factor) averaged ~44 passenger miles per gallon.

I don’t know how air freight is factored into fuel efficiency calculations, but it has become an increasing part of passenger airlines’ business models in the past decade, too.

(Source: I spent way too much time keeping tabs on Delta as a top level frequent flier)

Why would you believe the AMA's line on this? Do you think the professional association that represents all doctors, one of the highest paid and influential professions in the country, has no power to control the amount of residencies are funded by the government? They have no reason to increase the number of doctors, absolutely none. They benefit in every way from having constrained supply.
Agree the Russian invasion doesn't help matters... but this is not the primary cause of inflation. The amount of money that the US has simply created and spent in last couple of years in unprecedented. The amount of money inserted into the US economy dwarfs that of the TARPP and related bailouts of 2008 by a factor of 4. You just cannot create and hand out that much cash in an economy and not expect inflation.

They're a hack because they're indirectly calorie deficient, as it's incredibly hard to overeat on calories without carbs (unless you're eating a ton of fat). If you did while on a keto diet, you'd still gain weight.

I wouldn't have classed Return of the Obra Din as a walking simulator, but more of a puzzler like Myst. Was great, though. I'd recommend both The Talos Principle and The Witness, along those lines.

It feels like you don't understand or don't believe in free enterprise in general, not just when it comes to medicine. All the theoretical issues you mention do not actually occur in industries that are closer to a free market.

There is no cost problem in "tech". In fact, many services are literally free of charge. Despite Google having a near-monopoly on search, it is unable to charge users for it. Demand for software developers has grown massively in the past decades and yet, wages have only slightly gone up.

Anyways, I didn't mean to start a debate on the merits of free enterprise. I was hoping that we could at least agree that artificial limiting the supply of doctors causes medicine to be more costly, regardless of the economic system.
You're going to need to provide a concrete example of the "preferential treatment" in your hypothetical. The concrete example of the treatment trans employees are asking to receive is, in almost all cases, being referred to with the correct pronouns. Pronouns come up in casual conversation routinely -- that's precisely why folks make an issue of it. What's the comparable situation you envision for a coworker who doesn't "look Black" or "look Hispanic"?
> now they're in a panic in the opposite direction

Powell spoke when he didn't have to. He didn't have to speculate on inflation being transitory. He didn't have to make precise forecasts. But he did. That's left egg on the Fed's face. But calling a 75 bp rate hike panic is hyperbole.

You can argue either side to this, and make a good case.

My personal preference is to trigger a recession and reduce inflation. The easy cop-out solution is to say a "big f*ck off" to pensioners, lower middle class, and poor people and let inflation soar, but I believe that long term this would be more destructive to the general economy. Better take the long term view here and not kick the can down the street.

there's a table somewhere of all the different fad diets and what food they tell you to avoid

a third column of "how it works" is the same for all rows: "calorie restriction"

I've been doing a half-hearted keto and losing weight because I'm just eating a lot less by skipping pizza and breakfast bagels and honestly just don't have many meals in my cooking repetoire, so it's either protein shake or meat on top of salad.
The major thing Python has done is bring major functional design patterns, like maps, reductions, everything in itertools, and made human-friendly versions and syntax for them. Right now, that covers 70% of the stuff I did in Scheme over C/C++ (weighed by volume of use, rather than by feature list). A lot of beginner programmers now use features like closures and decorators, and they're accessible.

The remaining 30% is awkward, but usually possible.

JavaScript is convoluted.... but after the learning curve, it does functional as well as anything, and better than most other things it does. It certainly does functional better than OO.

It's not easy because as a company grows and gets people from different backgrounds, you hear different signals. In this case, they likely have some marketing professionals with experience in different markets where a superbowl commercial would actually make a bunch of sense. That doesn't make the idea of a superbowl commercial bad, just perhaps not the right kind of expense for a company whose userbase is extremely online.
It's kind of funny to read that. It's a sort of rationalist's advice in that it seeks to match a consensus bell curve. Much of it is good advice but there are lots of exceptions that ought to be tweaked through subjective practice.

BTW here's a favorite little project.

Go to your local craft store and buy some tube watercolors in the hues you like.

Get an altoids tin and a lego flat base that fits inside of it. Flip the base upside down and put it inside.

Get some lego bricks, turn them upside down, use needlenose pliers to extract the circle part so there's room to squeeze in your paints. Use a twist-pull motion and it's easy to get those plastic bits out.

Squeeze in the paint, let each color form a mound at the top of the brick (this'll shrink), and put them outside to dry.

As you get new watercolor hues you like, add/subtract to the palette lego set.

With any extra room in the tin, fold up some paper towel or cut a sponge to fit.

(BTW if you plan to sketch outside, be careful about doing so in front of cars, or if you're sketching cars, use a large pad and not a small one. I've had a person go off on me for "writing tickets" in free parking zones when I was sketching a lovely coupe...)
Sure, probably there are no people mounting such attacks today.

My point was more like - the moment it becomes known that people are doing that sort of thing, they would implement mitigations. Sucks if you're literally the first victim who detects what happened, but that's not many people, especially because this sort of "flood the server with data and measure timing" attacks are so noisy and visible.
> It’s really interesting to see the diet industry attack this. Calling it a “fad diet” as if eating low carbs is somehow a fad. Other things I’ve seen are essentially “keto diets are for treating epilepsy, not for losing weight!” Etc.

> Keto diets don’t require you to buy any products or books or take any courses or anything. Just literally read the nutrition facts and eat 20-50 carbs a day.

But that's the issue, isn't it?

Sometimes I feel like changing my usual snack of apples with some kind of biscuit / cookie. It's next to impossible to find anything below 500 kCals / 100 g at my local grocery store. And when I look at the ingredients, there's always a ton of sugar in there.

The only lower-ish processed food I can easily find is sorbet. But that's impractical to deal with at work (we don't have a freezer).

So most of the time, I end up buying nothing if I don't feel like an apple. Why would "big ag" cheer me in going this route?

I should note I'm not even into Keto or anything, just paying attention to how many calories I eat.
A very solid start.

Personally, I believe it should be illegal to sell, or buy, personal data for the purposes of marketing or monetization. Companies can use the data they've acquired through direct integration, and companies can provide services which utilize that data to other companies, but the actual data should never change hands or be exposed to a third-party.

I'd also like to see a ban on politicians sharing, renting or selling donor lists but I have absolutely no faith that bill would pass.
Unlikely it´s FAANG related. Upward pressure is indeed supply/demand right now, even in countries where FAANG has no offices at all.

Why should labor eat the real losses from inflation rather than capital or rentiers?
Yep, my parents are baby boomers and definitely have this ingrained in them. I also have some habits around eating where I (usually) waste nothing, which was instilled in me by my grandfather.
On the item, I see a little i next to the price and it specifically says “price if purchased online”. Pressing the i icon opens a screen that explicitly says the price will be different in store.

Supply chain prices have been increasing since covid as supply shut down and takes far longer to restore than demand. Just like certain parts of inflation (lumber) shot up in 2020 when demand went through the roof as everyone started working on projects (including things like outside offices for working from home)

Perhaps but until they rule that way, they're not the ones responsible for that ruling. Anyone who follows more of the Court's rulings than just the ones the press decides to highlight will notice how frequently judges from "the other side" end up agreeing. In addition to the many 9-0 rulings, there are many split rulings where the split isn't based on which party's president nominated that justice.

To the best of my knowledge, most of the world reports transport efficiency in l/100km. And the poster even nicely included the US-centric mpg value for people in not-most-of-the-world.
The problem is that because this move is partisan it won't be effective accept as political ploy.
The article is about prophylactic use in persons who have had a tick removed that was attached for more than 36 hours. It would have no impact on levels in the tick population (as it's given after the tick is removed) and should have no impact in the human population (considering how low the proportion of people with ticks attached for more than 36 hours is)
Some (most?) regions compare fuel efficiency by how much fuel in liters is needed to travel 100km.

English speaking countries (or at least most of them) usually do it the other way around and compare the distance one can travel by fuel unit.

Ok I've looked at this article and it is pretty good. It sounds like there were various Erlang antipatterns in the program, but the actual bug was a user-level memory leak in an Erlang process that locked the scheduler, which isn't good. Also, the memory leak was amplified because it involved serializing an object to memory that contained a lot of repeated references to other objects. So the object itself, while fairly large, still used only a manageable about of memory. But the serialized version's size (because of the repeated content) grew exponentially with the recursion depth. That in turn was due to an Erlang "optimization" that didn't try to indicate the repeated references in the object during serialization. Also of interest was using gdb on the Erlang node to debug this, since the usual Erlang interactive shell was hosed.
