The GrayZone has been impeccable in their reporting, with any errors quickly being admitted and disclosed. Of course many people disagree with them, and love to try character assassination and other ad hominems, but I've found them informative and having integrity. Maybe you should elaborate your reasoning.

To elaborate further: "Leaked emails reveal British journalist Paul Mason plotting with an intel contractor to destroy The Grayzone through “relentless deplatforming” and a “full nuclear legal” attack. The scheme is part of a wider planned assault on the UK left."

Do you know what "white collar" means?
Two responses saying "oil and gas are more expensive, but that is other causes"... forgetting that oil and gas are priced in dollars. So the exchange rate is certainly a cause (i.e. 20-30% of recent moves), though agree not the main cause (recent moves are > 100%, mostly due to Russia tightening the pipe).
Yes, this matches how I feel.

The world was just very different pre-2020. It's all just gone phone call nonsense. Everyone is slacking off, productivity is through the floor, endless queues for everything, shortages, public transport use way down, etc.

I haven't even had a proper full time job since then because as far as I can tell literally 0 work from office jobs exist any more. They just went extinct.

The idea of even using an indicator like inflation to capture this is weird because there's been a qualitiative, not quantitative, change in what life is. It's not just "before but a different % of things".
My guess is that American companies won't provide analytics to a website like archive.ph
> Originally the EUA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Unit_of_Account - euro's grandparent) started at 1:1 with USD.

> EUA was exchanged 1:1 for ECU, then 1:1 for EUR, so that's a nice continuation.

Interesting, I didn't know that. We did something similar here in Brazil to get rid of the hyperinflation: the Real (which started at 1:1 with the USD) was preceded by the URV, an accounting measure which was used to denominate all prices; during that time, the prices continued to inflate in the former currency, but were mostly fixed in URV, so when the currency changed from Cruzeiro Real to Real (at 1:1 with the URV), the prices stopped inflating so much. Of course, that was not the only thing the Plano Real did to get rid of the hyperinflation, but it got rid of an important "inertial" component of the inflation, in which prices inflated daily because they had always inflated daily.
Hi RayVR, being built in Rust definitely isn't a main selling point, but it has made building SurrealDB easier. We initially built our prototype in Golang, but decided to re-write it in Rust so that we could improve on certain aspects that were hard to do with Golang.

That aside, we wanted to create a database that people didn't have to manage, so they could focus on building applications, not the infrastructure. We wanted users to be able to use schema-less and schema-full data patterns effortlessly, a database to operate like a relational database (without the JOINs), but with the same functionality as the best document and graph databases. And with security and access permissions to be handled right within the database itself. We wanted users to be able to build modern real-time applications effortlessly - right from Chrome, Edge, or Safari. No more complicated backends.

It's only the beginning of our journey (we're just a bootstrapped team of 2 at the moment), and we welcome all feedback!

> German economy, among the most exposed to disruptions in Russian gas supply, is "likely" to suffer a recession over the winter if the energy crisis continues to deepen

At this point I feel the EU is pretty much done and the war just showed how weak the EU leadership is along how individual member nations acting sometimes totally against each other (see France doubling down on nuclear while Germany does the opposite). Like I don't see any positive outcome for the Union no matter what happens in the war, unless you see the US having an even greater influence over Europe as a positive thing. Personally I'm extremely pessimistic.
Somehow I don't see people getting as excited with new programming language releases compared to database releases. Maybe that is because databases require less effort to integrate in your stack?

This is also possible using GPIOs on an FPGA as well. Have a look over at FPGA4Fun: https://www.fpga4fun.com/10BASE-T.html 10base-T is such a simple protocol, and implementing it is a good way to learn many of the physicaly layer fundamentals of Ethernet.

Maps.earth – free and open-source web maps
Hey everyone, a while back I posted about an open-source maps project I was working on called Headway. I just wanted to share an exciting update. I made a few architectural improvements with the help of some really awesome contributors and Headway can now run full-planet instances. I'm really excited with what we've managed to come up with.

Right now the full-planet demo server is in Germany and lives at [1]. A brief explanation is at [2]. I'm hopeful that the project will continue to improve with time and eventually end up being a real contender in the web maps space. I'm talking with folks about the potential for getting some more robust hosting options too which is very exciting.

For the moment though, Headway has some usability issues. It's missing ETAs, has no steps list for directions, or proper geocoding search results page, etc. I'm going to get to these issues with time, but please drop me a line if you're interested in helping out. Especially interested in help with web frontend, design, or internationalization. Development takes place on GitHub [3] and discussions tend to happen in the matrix room [4].

> been planning a trip to Malaysia because while their exchange rate against the dollar has fallen, they've only experienced ~3% inflation, so not only are all of their products 22% as expensive, they also haven't meaningfully changed in price since 3 years ago

You’re running a real-goods arbitrage analysis. It’s dicey to compare national inflation statistics for this purpose. They’re measuring separate baskets of goods on different methodologies.

This means you must reconstruct the baskets. As such, you might as well measure the things you’re buying. For traded goods, e.g. grain and fuel, there is unlikely a massive pre-tax spread because professionals are looking at the same data. For non-tradable goods, e.g. hotels and restaurant meals, you might see a yawning gap.
16^4 / 3^4 = 256 / 81

That is interesting. Not as close to pi as the 22/7 that we were taught in middle school but maybe those exponentials were more meaningful to the Egyptians.

>“The materials we reported are able to cycle at about 3,000 psi, which are pressures that a typical hydraulics system can work at,”

3,000 psi are around 200 bar, that's IMHO a very high pressure, I wonder which kind of "typical" hydraulic system they are talking about, hydraulic (oleodynamic) construction machines such as excavators usually work at 160-180 bar, if it is air, 200 bar is scuba bottles filling.

If the requests are client side, they know that the user has accessed your domain. They can analyze the frequency and timestamps of these requests and add that information to the ad profile they have built for that user.
Much of society either is paying or is willing to pay. Note that even in places that we _do_ pay, for example cable TV, we still get ads.
It's definitely a contributing factor. The thing is, other nations just have to deal with high gas prices. The UK has to deal with high prices AND:

* being reliant on gas for both heat and power

* a collapsing pound driving prices higher in local currency

* no supply guarantee since we left the EU (we are now "at the end of the pipe")

* some of the most energy inefficient housing in Europe after decades of not investing or taking climate change seriously

* very high taxes, very low spending on poor people and a big deficit (so we have no room to bail out users)

* no domestic storage so we are just constantly exposed to spot prices

And that's just the issue around Russian gas. We also have dozens of other economic chickens coming home to roost...
I don't forsee Intel support, but M2 support will come. They're just slowly rolling this out.

> Would be better if they pull their opposition for "right to repair".

But then you'd be in the same position you are now with Apple where you'd just get the individual parts and fuck your computer up.

Though maybe they should pull their opposition (if indeed they are opposed to this for no good reason) so then companies would have to support the right to repair products like dSLR cameras, TVs and computer monitors, Nintendo Switches, and Samsung mobile phones. I think this would be a nice little market advantage for Apple since these companies are fucking terrible at support for products beyond "send it in". Can you imagine Google trying to support repairing a Chromebook? Though I think what you'd find is just more throw-away electronics because a screen for a Chromebook individually purchased and sent to you will probably cost half as much as a new one. Good for the environment there.

Another thing I wonder about is should we treat personal electronics differently? There's a lot of focus on them but most are cheap and disposable. I think there's significant issues with manufacturing or industrial scale products like the infamous John Deere tractors that you can't fix yourself.

Not quite. A while back we used to pay for cable tv and the programming used to have tons of ads. Now, we assumed the premium you pay for Apple products was because 'you' were not the product, unlike say Android, but looks like with some clever marketing about privacy focus Apple was just building up their own ad business.

I think paying for content/product doesn't ensure you wont see ads, well perhaps it doea but until the company decides it needs higher margins.

In the context of "History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes", this is just what happened when Java appeared. Everyone noting it was written in Java (as, believe it or not, it was the cool new language).

It might have actually been worse, because there was a strong penchant for naming products starting with a "J" to indicate the fact (i.e. JNotepad, JDatabase, etc).

It might actually be a good marketing technique to get other Rust aficionados to try your product. But otherwise, there isn't any real value now that "write once, run anywhere" doesn't just belong to Java anymore.
An update to my tv changed it from having a clean startup screen to give me ads for shows on network I don't have, and I hate it with passion.

Ironically they have a button that says I can customize the screen, which means I can add more crap, not take anything away.
I recently went to a small event for a friend, and among the 30-40 young professionals there, this was the resounding mood: the country is fucked and only getting worse, is there a way out? Just generally no one expects things to get better. Standard of living is going down the drain, building stability by buying a house comes with absurd cost.

I think we are heading for a tipping point. Public services are probably already past a point where staff quitting is piling more work on those left, resulting in more people quitting. I suspect there will be a terminal snowball which guts the NHS at least and leaves it unable to function (by design of the Tories, of course).

I suspect the brain drain will be similar. Young people don't want to live in some tax haven, they want a country that functions. Brexit has made it harder, but people will find a way eventually. People were talking Canada, the Netherlands, etc... (Notably for here, very much not the US which is seen as having all of the same problems the UK has).
Hope is in such short supply in large parts of the UK that false hope, demonstrably false hope, and even doublespeak-esque cynically lying false hope can take hold.

And so a chunk of the masses vacillate between "I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything."[0] and "Game over man, Game Over."[1]

Also, you get YT Music for free with YT Premium. I absolutely won't tolerate ad interruptions, but I find that with the amount of content, and utility, I get from YT overall, the family plan is quite a good value at $14.99/Month. Plus, YT Music recommendations are shockingly good. Probably the only recommendation engine I've experienced from any of the FAANG companies that consistently recommends new music I like.

The problem with the approach of "tax this and tax that" is that it often ends up hurting the lower and middle classes the most.

I am very skeptical about any new taxes aiming for wealth distribution that are not very explicit about who should pay that tax.

>Then you're unable to see that market forces are making it incredibly unattractive to be a teacher.

Note that I agree with your statement of teachers not getting sufficient pay relative to quality of life at work. I even think this is true up and down, from daycare to physics high school.

I disagree with the chain of reasoning to support this view, however. You cannot derive this conclusion by looking at the price of daycare.

My claim is that the only thing you need to claim the price is too low for a product or service, is the lack of existence of said product or service given that it is not technologically impossible or such a rare talent or otherwise subject to forces of nature that affect its supply/demand. Which teachers generally are not.

And it is not just price that is too low, it is always price relative to quality of the product/service, or in this case, wages relative to quality of life at work (like having to deal with cumbersome admin, rude children, and entitled parents).

>For comparison - the well known private schools in our area (Paideia, Woodward, Lovett, Galloway, Westminster, etc) all charge at least 22k per student, and many go as high as 36k for high school.

But what are teachers getting paid? The point of my initial response to you was that you cannot compare annual tuition for daycare or private high schools and determine which are appropriate prices. Staffing ratios, liability insurance costs, there are a myriad factors that render this line of thinking erroneous.
Agreed.

Thanks to the miracle of what is now called "Find My," I got to watch as my wife's newly stolen iPhone made its way from Rome to Tunisia. Unfortunately, in its early iterations, you could only locate an item, not take any action on that item.

We need to differentiate between storage and sync is the problem. Sure, you might have something that supports the storage part, but sync is a domain/app specific problem. When you do offline first, you need to look at every endpoint and piece of data and make a decision about how it should be fetched/refreshed (and this is just considering the read-only usecase. read-write is a much harder problem).

There are good resources online that outline the different fetch strategies (e.g. cache-first, cache-then-network, network-only) but it doesn't prevent the developer from needing to go through and make the decisions around each of those strategies and to implement them.
I'd take that over the ever so fashionable mid-century lobotomy.

I use my smart tvs for two purposes: 1) to use the native apps for streaming services (and I never get ads except the internal advertising of the apps themselves), and 2) to connect my personal devices (computers, game systems).

For most "cord-cutters" that use only streaming services, I expect them to have similar ad-free experiences.
