Inflation isn’t terribly bad in countries that didn’t print wild amounts of money.

Like in India, inflation is almost back in control, and we didn’t print much money.

Same in China.

I haven’t run the numbers but if you were to chart inflation vs the money printing done by an economy, you’d likely find a positive correlation.
Many micronutrient USRDA recommendations are mere guesses. Evidence is mounting that consuming the recommended 1g of calcium daily may actually be harmful for your health. Saturated fat - once painted as the enemy by doctors and nutritionists - has since been found to be negatively correlated with heart disease. I think before we get anywhere near trying to regulate or even recommend what people eat we first need to do a lot more study.
Hmm as someone in the industry "The blog "take" could be about any tech or Fortune 500 company" is a bit of a stretch.
At least in terms of gaming I think multi-core CPUs killed them. A big argument for sound cards used to be that they'd give you higher quality audio and use less CPU. I can remember benchmarks from the mid 2000s showing less CPU usage with a dedicated sound card vs onboard sound. But by the time you get to the early 2010s anyone building a mid to high end gaming PC was using a quad core CPU, and with 4+ cores it's really hard to care if onboard sound is using a few percent extra CPU.

And while 3d audio is/was a cool concept, most people don't really have a sound system that will really take advantage of it. Even most "serious gamers" that I know use headphones or stereo speakers... now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in my friend group with a 5.1 speaker setup on my PC.

> Well the Fed just reduced the effective rate it was printing money quite substantially by switching to Quantitative Tightening and increasing rates.

Currently they are tightening, yes. Let's see how long they'll keep this up when not only the US but also Europe and China are caught up in this recession that's currently lurking.

I say we're just seeing a short intermezzo of expensive money that'll soon be over again (no later than 3 years from now) when the world is going to be hit by crisis after crisis that politicians prefer to solve with yet more money.
That's a very short-sighted view of a career. In the short term, it is bad for your career, but being a whistleblower who is right can raise your profile significantly and make you much wealthier than if you stay at a company quietly (even if your salary is $X million). In Mudge's case, he didn't need the money, but the publicity probably helped.

Think about some of the past whistleblowers from these companies: Frances Haugen, Timnit Gebru, etc. These are all people for whom whistleblowing was a good career move.

Would you feel the same if you were developing something intrinsically attractive to state-backed hackers like nuclear power plant control software? At some point you have to take into account hackers with the means to bribe/blackmail the developers of the "applications and tools that make you productive".
90%? That seems awfully optimistic.
Except it doesn't.

An engineer I worked with used primarily Matco & also Snap-On & a few otehrs. He specifically said about Craftsman: "Sure, they have a lifetime warranty that you can go swap one at any store — that doesn't help you when you are out in the field and the thing breaks and you need it NOW. More than worth it to buy one that doesn't break."

I picked up that approach and can strongly recommend it. I've also bought a lot of Matco tools on eBay with very good results. They just work without problems and last effectively forever. (The one thing that hasn't lasted effectively forever was Snap-On air-powered dual orbit sanders, they only lasted a 8 years or so...)

these are all unavoidable issues that all corpos have. also, that "endpoint security" thing is straight up gimmick to make the boss feel like he's in control. unfortunately, with unsound operating systems that not even pros can use in a correct way, there is no chance your company will do better. also this article is annoying because all the good boys that agree with it will do straight up stupid shit like accepting unknown SSH keys instead of verifying them and believing sudo does anything, and whatever hare brained manifestations they came up with, the latest being "dependency confusion"
Software generally doesn’t need to be audited by a grad in a corporate IT department who knows next to nothing about software.

How often would it have to happen for you to risk your right to vote, defend your family, get any reasonably well paying job, and retain custody of your children?

If you search for something as simple as "charged for leaving child at park" there's no shortage of anecdata, and many if not most aren't something crazy like abandonment.

The laws in my state are vague enough that parents can and have been criminally charged for merely letting a confident 7 y/o play at the park while they briefly ran an errand. Unfortunately the state doesn't keep statistics like "how often did we frivolously charge parents."
how do you prove negligence vs incompetence?
I guess it depends. I understand some ultralights and new airplanes may be efficient. But it is my understanding that a Cessna 172 lycoming is basically 50-70 years old, depending on how you count, and horribly inefficient, and completely prevalent. Faa certification for new engines is such that innovation is stifled. I mean it took the industry what, 3-4 decades and counting, to phase out leaded fuel which we all agree is God awful :-0
The WSJ ran a chart a few weeks ago showing inflation lagged money printing by about 13 months.
I think we're talking about different things. That 80% includes things like candy, beer, cereal. America isn't going to collapse if that disappeared.
I don't think they posit that they have new information, they just go through the existing whistle blower complaint and highlight why it's such a big deal. Also there's no reason to think this is a hit piece, and there's certainly no evidence for it.
In the long run the problem is self-correcting.

If workers can't afford to live in what were the important cities, they live elsewhere.

Eventually employers move to where the workers are. The formerly important cities become tourist meccas like Venice or Granada, or ghost towns.

This is happening to London and Lisbon, and to a lesser extent to Amsterdam, Paris, New York and San Francisco, and other cities.

It's a pity, because the famous cities got big early because they're in good places for trade. Their replacements are second best in this regard.
This is the kind of news I didn't know I needed.

It's extremely hard because you're essentially trying to use absence of proof as proof of absence. ("There is no malware, therefore the anti malware worked")

Even 'known' detections and preventions won't do it because you'd have to extrapolate if it wasn't detected, if prevention of anything was actually needed. Take a detection of a Excel v4 Macro loader, that's great to detect and prevent with ATP, but doesn't do anything on a Mac, and doesn't do anything on most PC's either.

This is similar to comparing Sophos vs. Trend Micro for example. The products do similar things, have similar goals and similar methods.

Ultimately the true protection doesn't lie in what AV you have or what EDR vendor you select, but how you deal with inevitable infections and loss of service. If you can treat the loss of a laptop (be it theft, fire or ransomware) the same way, regardless of the reason of loss, you're good. That also means encryption at rest and DLP at runtime. Neither are going to be in the AV vendor's product.

The same applies to malware ingress. If you have good controls on mail (even if just for attachment and BEC scams), that already saves you a ton of issues. And if you don't use filesystem shares like it's the 90's, that helps a ton as well, because now there is no OS-native spreading method using existing mounts.

The list goes on and on, and ultimately the whole AV vendor thing is just a tiny speck in the grand scheme. The biggest gap would be your audit capabilities, and having any controls vs. having no controls at all.

Something as simple as bare minimum hardening (FDE, MFA, autolock), OSQuery or Kolide for health/security posture checks, non-SMB/NFS file access, and proofpoint or mimecast in your mail flow will have a bigger impact on most corporate setups than any anti malware vendor can do.

Depending on the skill and education level of your users, you might even consider self-selection controls. Personally I use the Objective-see tools, XProtect and on-demand Sophos. The type of work I do doesn't fare well with traditional AV, but because I don't mind binary allowlisting, persistence lockout popups etc. and periodically confirming that I didn't miss anything using Sophos, I can get my work done and be secure enough at the same time. When I work at a regulated company I'll just use their supplied workstations and bill them extra by the hour.
Intolerance of people different than them. I thought that was what was being discussed.
3 years ago if someone took a picture it wouldn’t be seen by anyone else (or very few)

Today it’s shared on the internet, not only seen by dozens of the photographers friends, but linked via face recognition to you even though you live the other side of the world and was on holiday.

The problem isn’t the camera, it’s the internet.
Thanks for sharing. I feel that this is the point of the article too "if you don't need a high end machine...." but if you do you can't really afford to change your laptop after 10 years when most of the software won't run anymore and no securities updates are circulating for 5+ years.

I find this type of advice (change your laptop only every 10 years to save the world) irresponsible to say the least.

Imagine visiting a medical doctor with obsolte X-Ray technology, lab analysis tools etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that regardless of the money they saved or the illusionary "save the world" green footprint.

Of course none of this matter if one doesn't require the latest technology or software (e.g. Adobe etc.).
> The ongoing ability to never name anything consistently or well has to be a sick inside joke at USB-IF. This isn't entirely new. USB 3.1 Gen 2, which latter became USB 3.2 2x1, is sort of similar-ish in pattern.

It literally dates back to USB 2, when USB 1 was helpfully renamed USB 2.0 full speed (as opposed to "high speed")
> Overall, the whole article is so surreal - is this actual reality in US?

As with almost everything, it depends on where you are in the US, but there has been a general trend towards overprotection of kids. The GP is an extreme example, but I've definitely met parents with that same attitude.

If you do a first principles analysis of the amount of material required and the complexity of the plant, nuclear looks really good.

The turbine you use to turn heat into power can be the same as the one uses for commercial gas. Nuclear is not actually hotter. Current PWR are actually cooler then Gas/Coal plant (and that's part of why they are so expensive).

Most high temperature nuclear reactors will run at comparable temperatures to gas plants, around 600C. I don't know much about gas plants so correct me if they run at lower temps.

> higher tech end of material science

High temperature doesn't necessary use high tech. Depending on the design, the main containment vessel can be pretty ordinary stainless steal.

And the same can be said for airplanes, cars or rockets. They use high tech, but if you do it correctly and you build more then 1, it can still be cheap for the end user.

> And that's not even taking into account the oversized cooling system

High temperature reactors don't need huge cooling systems. The huge size of PWR is mostly related to its absurdly large steam cooling systems, but all of that wouldn't exist in a modern reactor.

> reactor who's throttle response time is measured in days.

Again, you are drawing conclusions from current reactor designs that were fundamentally designed in the 1960s to power submarines.

Modern reactor designs can have very good load following capability. Specially if you make that a goal of the reactor design.

A good reactor design is fundamentally load following, if you pull more energy it will produce more.

> It's just not a miracle electricity device.

I would sort-of disagree. I would suggest that most miracles (walking on water) are not as amazing as the discovery of a material that has many orders of magnitude higher energy density and the a device that has the ability to harness that.

Of course its not a divine miracle but given a world that is powered by coal, finding uranium/thorium is basically a miracle.

A nuclear reactor like we could build it if we do 5-10 more design iteration would be one of the closes things to a miracle device that we use.

> Personally I'm looking forward to the point people realize you don't totally need the whole "electric generator" aspect of nuclear and start direct connecting it to things that need heat, like desalination

Yes, very much so. If you look at the live of Alvin Weinberg one of pioneers of the nuclear age and the inventor of both the PWR and the Molten Salt reactor. His vision was far beyond just power generation.

He had a whole vision of society driven by nuclear plants, nuclear desalination was on of them. I not sure if he talked about synthetic fuel or not.

You could even imagine having a nuclear reactor per city super-block and then using solar salt to circulate the heating rather then using electrical heaters.

But to get to these applications we need to build on the currently existing market.
> but this is due to AirBnB

Others have said it before, but mass tourism is the new Dutch disease [1]. Pure tourist cities like Venice are already too affected by it to have a chance of getting back to a normal economic and social life, but there are other cities that are still trying to fight it, like Barcelona. Not sure if there are any political forces in Lisbon or Porto ready to take the same stance.

To be fair, if you accomplish the same effect without needing distributed computing, then the solution gets much simpler, you cut out worrying about network latency and HA*

The problem in the US is pretty obvious. We are the time period where the largest generation of Americans (the boomers) are at the retirement, or about to retire point, at the same time the Zoomers, which are a decent sized generation, are entering the housing market.

Over the next several decades as the boomers die off or move to retirement homes the housing supply will increase substantially, and the value of properties in most of the US will plummet.
we somehow managed to build houses for thousands of years, so it can't be that hard, can it? the scarcity is entirely artificial.
Feels that way too. America’s increasingly tough stance on exports to China are a sign of things to come.

I’m not even sure if this Globalization was worth all that much. It’s made some people very wealthy, some people well-off, but its also made lots of people very poor and very angry.

I’m okay with living in a world with fewer millionaires but also fewer people sleeping on the streets.
