I wish the Popular Vote Interstate Compact didn't lose steam. It's currently at 195EV worth of states, 72% of the 270 needed to go into effect. If a few more states signed it into law it would trigger and all of those states would pledge all of their EVs to the winner of the popular vote

Essentially using the Constitution's (anti-democratic) clauses that allow state officials to pledge their votes however they want regardless of vote outcomes in order to assert a more democratic and representative popular vote system
They do, soy for animal feed is grown far far away.
I generally agree that CPI "feels" to be consistently lower compared to what actual people experience.

But you can't have a meaningful discussion about it if you do not list the weight of the price hike in your expense pattern.

When gas for your car normally takes up 10% of your income, and this price doubles, your personal inflation is 10%, not 100% (assuming no other price hikes).
Sure. The main tensions in archaeology are:

1) It was first established by European men and women looting to fill their “curio cabinets,” which makes it hard to position it as a noble field.

2) digging something up later (with more advanced technology) will always be better than digging it up now. There’s even some people who believe the only ethical archaeology is that which occurs before an area would be otherwise destroyed (i.e. before a construction project happens)

The above makes career archaeologists (at least the good ones) a bit neurotic. This seems like an example of that, I just hope their preservation methods aren’t accidentally destructive.
You don't. Anything large enough to be useful as a destination for that info is large enough to be gamed.

And that's assuming you can even amass useful information. For every useful bit of information you will have to filter out ten dolts who just want to hype whatever premium product they bought in order to self-justify the purchase (see for example Reddit's penchant for certain brands in certain product categories).
No, the question is whether Facebook should have access to those messages at all.
I understand where you coming from, and I do agree. I approached learning social skills as rigorously as I did technology books, and it has helped me grow a huge network of friends of all backgrounds, get married, move continents, get on well with pretty much all of my colleagues. It also ironically made me think I was not autistic for decades, because how could I be since I have such good social skills.

But I still have values that I hold on to. If someone adamantly states they are right about something, and turn it into a “social skill showdown” where one has to feign agreement and cave in to some sort of authority, then count me out. I know other people do it, I kind of understand why, but it’s not for me. I don’t think it’s cold at all, it’s just me prioritizing my values.

What I’m realizing as I write these articles and am more open about my introspection is that a lot of allistic people, for all their talk about empathy and theory of mind, really don’t try very hard to see things from the other side. Maybe I can’t intuitively chose just the right words to make my question not sound patronizing, maybe I don’t even understand what “sounding patronizing” is. At that point it’s really on that person to put in a bit of effort and skip over the jab and realize the question is probably not meant to patronize.

Otherwise it’s like asking a blind person to just look where they’re going when they’re walking into a wall.
I disagree, privacy was the norm. Never did government have as much access to communication. Even ICQ, AIM were private because government usually didn't have interest in spying here because the demographics were mostly not of interest. Today we have a protocol about a lot of things, text, locations, group memberships. Surveillance is vastly greater than anytime before with a few magnitudes.

Yes, but you have adjust those earnings for inflation... It's even more complex because inflation is variable across industries.
it looks like that battery is exactly what i'd said it'd be: a flat, less space efficient form factor. all you're seeing here is fewer layer penetration from the puncture, and more surface area to dissipate the heat over.

note, you can't stack these on top of each other (without loss of safety), otherwise you have a conventional battery again, this time with more conductors in between each cell.
I believe there is a god (or some higher being). I also believe that humans are inherently imperfect, and that probably no religion (a manmade construct) has it correct.

If I believe my religion to be correct, then I must believe that other religions are incorrect. If religions can be incorrect, then my religion can also be one of the incorrect ones.

I will never fault anyone for their beliefs about a god, because then I must be faulted as well. Though god ≠ religion, and I am not a fan of some religious practices.

Believing that my religion could be incorrect does not affect my ability to practice my religion or believe in its teachings.
Is he connecting to a backbone or to another ISP?
You aren't being lied to. if, as you seem to think, the government wanted to hide true inflation, you'd think they'd do a better job, right? you think Biden wants these high inflation numbers? what a joke. you're already on the fringe.
I just want some god damned accountability.
It’s still curl and selenium.
Where did you get a vehicle only 10% more expensive?

New Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4 was $21k in January 2021. The cheapest new Cherokee now is $35k. 3 years old is $25k. Seattle,WA.
Yes, I was surprised how good it is! I especially liked how it started out with CPU-bound vs IO-bound. It's such a key distinction, but a lot of people just getting into concurrency will not have thought much about that.

(And agreed on an actor system. It's definitely the approach that best fits my brain.)
Exactly this. I was working with the managing director of a large-cap (> $2B market cap) pharmaceutical consulting company who was able to explain really complicated, interconnected topics with ease, in a way that was really easy for others to understand. He was like a guide on a metaphorical hike, you were with him every step of the way no matter how many levels you went down the rabbit hole.

Through his communication, he had an uncanny ability to persuade. I mean, he laid everything out in an easy to understand way, and you either agreed or disagreed. It’s easy to agree when a person has seemingly answered all your questions and concerns without you even asking.

One day in his office, I asked him, how did you become so good at communicating really complex topics? He sat back, thought for a beat, and then jumped up towards his book case. “This!” He handed me his copy of the Minto Pyramid Principle scribbled with notes in the margin and all.

Needless to say, after reading that book, I was able to see immediately how those principles applied to him.

Of course it takes lots and lots of practice even after you understand the concepts. But the Minto Pyramid Principle comes highly recommended!
Ah! - so the next neighborhood over has all-private roads, and the homeowners association there (not the government) pays for all snow plowing, crack & pothole patching, repaving, storm sewer work, etc. that might be needed?
Is there a guide anywhere on how to run or coach these?

Well that's the thought: GIL-less Python is coming, at which point we can actually have something like this and it'll just work.
In a fake economy, money flows to the top, which includes people who have significant holdings in 401Ks. Most people never get paid enough to even fully save up for retirement by the end.
You know what's really funny? As a Google Fi user for all my cell coverage, but an Apple user for all my phones... Google doesn't let iPhone users send SMS messages to Android users out of the box. They've done something custom to their network that mucks up the ability to user an iPhone to send messages.

Anyway they're just as guilty as Apple of trying to manipulate users, this whole campaign is just PR. They don't like the fact that their users show up as inferior green-bubbles on Apple devices.

But really, these are separate platforms at this point. iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Signal, Snapchapt, AIM, ICQ, whatever else the kids are using today... you can't send messages between them all.

And look, dumbing communications down so they aren't using end-to-end encryption has consequences.

Yep, that works well.

The balancing act the gyms, in particular, are trying to play is that knots should be both secure and easily verifiable on sight by gym staff, more or less entirely for liability reasons. A yosemite finish, or a bowline, are both dead-ass safe and in some cases better than a traced eight, but they're harder to glance at and know they're safe. That's totally fine at the crag, but it's a liability issue at the gym.

I don't get it, are the docs not also open-source?
As good writers expand their audience, they slowly narrow the things they consider self-explanatory, because the wider your audience, the fewer shared understandings they all have.

The art of explanation, and communication, is finding enlightening ways to make sure your audience understands your frame, even if some will find it repetitive, while others to stretch to grasp it.
I don't understand why people are making correlations between intelligence and happiness. Seems kind of arbitrary.

It seems plausible. For instance, would a good accountant (well defined problems) necessarily make a good physicist (poorly defined problems)?
The smart parents should at least notice that there's a tradeoff between long-term and short-term benefits and tackle it.
You're going to be upset when you hear about Twitters business model.
Join toastmasters. It's an international club created for the purpose of helping members become better at public speaking. There is some theory and coaching, but a lot of it is just giving regular small and large opportunities to speak within a structured environment.

If you don't have access to that, join an improv troupe, a theater troupe, a local group that tries to educate the public on a political issue you care about, or some other group related to your interests where there are opportunities for discussion.

I do recommend toastmasters if it's something you have access to.

I'm just saying, people need to stop acting like every bill is an honest noble attempt to protect the children etc.
No? In the US a residential mortgage is almost always fixed rate, locked in for the entire term (i.e. 30 years). So it can basically never go up, just down if the opportunity arises and you can willingly refinance your loan as interest rates drop.
Your post violates HN posting guidelines. We can have a better conversation if you engage with people's points rather than speculate about why they said them.
Spamming doesn’t, however, as it requires a lot of serial number lookups and creates a very identifiable trail of behavior just to get a single device working. Scaling that process up to spamming would be unprofitable and risk being caught.
For the individual, yes, inflation feels bad knowing that the dollar you make today will be worth less next year. But at the macro level, it encourages people to spend money, fueling the economy. An economy doesn't work on investments alone, people need to buy products and services.
It looks good but an actual filtered vacuum performs better. There's something entirely satisfying about dumping out that filthy water afterwards, however, that you don't quite get with a bagged vacuum.

"Bagless" vacuums like the popular Dyson are a joke compared to either.
resonates with folks like you, and memes are typically more shared among people who like memes. But then you push away a lot of other users. Are the likes and interactions on twitter converting? Or are people just following for the hot takes and entertainment?

How do you know that is transitioning into a successful campaign with the type of users they need to cross the chasm? (tl;dr you'd have to be on the social / marketing team to see their private numbers)

You trust the brand to outsource manufacturing to high-quality suppliers. They're outsourcing 99% of all components anyway. Apple does this. What is the difference?
My main qualms with bash as a scripting language are that its syntax is not only kind of bonkers (no judgement, I know it's an old tool) but also just crazily unsafe. I link to a few high-profile things whenever people ask me why my mantra is "the time to switch your script from bash to python is when you want to delete things".

That seems a rather judgmental take on the "right" way to have downtime. I'm sure some people subscribe to too many streaming services. I try to keep my eye on how much I use a given service. But I'm still paying way less per month than I did when I had cable TV.
Thanks for reading.

The thing is, I’m absolutely not passive aggressive when asking these questions. On the contrary, I am engaged, asking them for their point of view and expertise, and actively trying to work in the same direction.

I would have zero problems answering the questions you bring up as a hypothetical. In fact these sound like great and interesting questions.

Just curious, as yesterday had to deal with the `black` formatter, and it had this hack into it to prevent no more than 60 being created.
The technical solution would be to not save message contents after message delivery.
No they don't have to do something like this. The change in consumption patterns is caused by inflation and should be measured. If someone has to switch from buying steak to ground beef, it's not a change in preference. They've stopped buying something they can't afford.

Anyone who has watched Time Team understands why this took place.

England is filthy with Roman ruins, among other sorts. But only when you have a noteworthy celebrity, a reality TV show, and everything that is involved in that, do you have an opportunity to even scrape the surface on many of these sites. The funding just isn't there.

The work is hard, complex, interdisciplinary, and mostly unsexy. But the findings are sometimes incredible.
They are forced to comply with legal warrants. They can try to fight some things, but if the warrant doesn't even mention everything (like abortion suspicions) then what do you expect?

Though I would say, they appear to be choosing to not use end to end encryption. I don't know if that's due to technical limitations or because they don't want to, but I imagine they could figure something out if they wanted to.
I find them useful. To each their own, I suppose.
You're equating using the levers of power as defined by our laws and constitution to trying to overthrow the results of an election. And you'll find far more Republican supporters of overthrowing a duly elected government than you'll find Democrats who want to end the filibuster. We have real evidence based on numbers that indicate this. You can't "both sides" your way out of attempting to overthrow democracy.
It's not a drop though .. If you read, it's saying the gasoline index (alone) dropped nearly 8% which resulted in a net-null even though ALL of the other indexes continued to inflate...

This isn't great.. And on top of it look at the number 1 comment here.. People are making concerted efforts to reign-in spending .. Which is excellent financial discipline.. but it's potentially very dangerous for this type of economy if everyone stops spending into this 'easing'
It's still going to be accelerating and decelerating frequently so there's a lot you couldn't do, or would just be unpleasant to do while it's moving. I'm imagining taking a shower and it comes to a sudden stop for a train crossing. Better have a grab bar so you don't fall out!

That sounds like it would bring even more political divisiveness and injustice to the US.
And the charging is primarily done during the night, where the grid (typically) is less strained. The biggest issue is that it currently doesn't align very well with things like solar.

In my buildings parking garage there are 150 cars, where probably a good 30-40% of cars are BEVs. We're pulling a maximum of 32kW, or 400V/80A. I have yet to find my car not fully charged in the morning. It's a load balanced system, so usually I get full effect of 11kW when charging.
Their moderation policies are already highly country-specific though? Why does FB need to ban anything globally?
Seems cool. On the motorcycle side, I enjoy having a bike without a chain. Instead my BMW has a shaft that runs from the transmission to the rear wheel. Maintenance over 75K has been occasionally lubing the rear splines. There's been some attempts at a shaft driven bicycle but the downsides seem to come from the tighter tolerance, harder disassembly and overall heavier frame construction required. still cool from a longevity POV.
But our unemployment rates were so low in 2019, how could they have been lower with higher inflation?
Whoever says that never met one and isn't one of them. It's so obvious once you see it
He certainly doesn't want highER numbers.

It isn't that the published inflation figures are falsified, or lies. They just don't truly reflect the cost of living, due to adjustments, hedonics, omissions, choice of basket items, product crapification and shrinkage, etc.

But with so many dissenting posts here getting flagged, you have to wonder.
The BYD blade form factor is more space efficient than the Tesla 4680.
Did they prove that? Even demand did they actually prove customers will pay *more* for fiber?

What it proved is that if cable companies offer lower prices than google, and offer 'good enough' speeds. That people will not switch over. Fiber is fast but so is DOSICS4.0. What it showed was that fiber to the house was not a revenue or profit winning strategy, with instead the ISPs using the existing copper coupled with fiber close to the home.

ATT and others recently made a push for fiber to the home, but their DSL was falling behind coax/cable and they were forced to make the switch.

Personally, look at T-Mobile home internet & starlink's growth. We might see cellular internet to the home take over in the next 10 years. My 5G cellular speed is already nearing that of what an 802.11ac wifi network can deliver. Most people are currently fine with 50Mibps, which is well within 5G's capabilities.
Yes, I have the “cloud”-y thingie close to the WhatsApp icon, meaning is offloaded. When clicking on the item to “load” it again it tries to do just that, only to give me a “Unable to download” message (or something similar) a few seconds later. I’ve tried searching for the app directly in the AppStore, I cannot find it anymore, presumably because of that older iOS I have running. Forgot to mention, the same happened to me with the Google Maps (?!) app also last year or so.
Presumably because happiness somewhat follows from material circumstances, and smarter people are more effective at obtaining better material circumstances. There is no such association with tallness.
That's fine, as long as you will pay the same sums to support whatever weird lifestyle choices I make...
That's an artifact of dumping 30% of the strategic oil reserves into the market to drive down prices.

Maybe the prices stay low, but with Europe warning of fuel shortages this winter, I can't see that happening.
On the flip side, it's a relatively cheap form of entertainment. $5-30/month and you get access to hundreds or thousands of hours of quality entertainment per service. And there are some awesome shows that my family legitimately enjoys watching together.

It was nice having multiple options on a Friday/Saturday night without the overhead of having to think about subscriptions, because the services combined were the equivalent of one or two hours of my hourly rate a month, and we were in the black month-to-month. So who cares? Now my hourly rate doesn't cover nearly as much as it used to what with everything else through the roof, so I have to care, and I'm lucky to be in that position. Fun times.
> no other single language looks posed to seriously challenges Java's dominant position on the server (as PHP seemed for a while)

What do you think about JavaScript in this context? JavaScript seems at least as popular among today's full-stack web developers as PHP was 15-20 years ago. V8 might not be as optimal a runtime environment for servers as HotSpot, but that won't necessarily diminish the language's popularity.

Most people are incredible boring speakers. Learning even some basics around how to engage folks while speaking will make you a better X.

Toast masters and improv classes are the two that exist in pretty much every community and can be done a 1-2 nights a week to help with this.

Learn how to speak in front of people. Learn how to speak in front of people and get them to actually give a shit about what you are saying.
Also fyi: favorites are public
Yeah, I find that looking at anything space-related helps me remember that our entire species and history are completely and utterly insignificant in the grander scheme of things. All this day-to-day drama just really isn’t that important.
You should be suspicious of any metric that attempts to whittle inflation down to a single number. The purpose of single number measures of inflation is so that the people who get judged by those metrics can manipulate them.
>> think clearly - Eat whole, nutritious food. Get good sleep and plenty of it. Exercise regularly. Make and keep social connections. Have an aim/goal/purpose, maybe more than one. Have/make healthy habits/rituals.

>> deliver message - Join toastmasters. Send voice messages instead of texting and listen to yourself talk. Practice talking more with others. Practice persuading more, if that's what you want to do. Study the psychology of people and how they react when you say things. Listen as much as you speak.
I appreciate how much patience you've had in these comments. There are so many uncharitable and dismissive responses from people who clearly are not interested in understanding your perspective. I appreciate you sharing so much. I think it's really important we have more people providing these viewpoints. You communicated what (I believe) you intended to very effectively and sometimes you will still be misunderstood (and misrepresented) but IMO it's important you keep expressing your experiences. Thanks for the insightful read!
