The profit margins in finance and real estate were only possible because "corporate colonialism" prevented wages and consumer prices from rising along with asset prices.

If real consumer prices hadn't been driven down by reduced manufacturing costs, then the lower interest rates that drove up asset prices would have led to consumer inflation and wouldn't have been politically viable.

And if American labor had been able to demand a greater share of the wealth created over the past forty years, then corporate profits would have been far lower.
The router is more of a server. Pihole is just an example (and yes a $35 pi would be plenty for it) but I have many old servers running all kinds of other things so I decided to update and consolidate some of this.
Definitely, however many beginners don't know about it.

Imagine a group of teenager, getting interested into C++ via the Arduino or Pi based school projects, they search YouTube for tutorials (as common practice nowadays) and land on such tutorials.

How many hairstylists and interior decorators does a village really need though?

Nice read, and great work on the terminations.

I did an extensive amount of both fiber and CAT6A in my recent house build, totally about 21 miles together. I did a mixture of single mode and multimode only because of some AV device support for multimode, and because all of it was so cheap compared to the labor and time.

I ended up with significant fiber runs between the MDF and IDF closets, the server room, and all of the AV endpoints which is a typical layout. I did run single mode fiber to all 18 wireless AP access-point locations, but I suspect those will not get used much given I also have 2 CAT6A shielded wires to each AP that can support 10G AND provided power. I do use a direct fiber connection in my office to provide 10G to my network core from that desktop, but that could have been done over copper as well.

Perhaps the biggest gain over copper is my switch interconnects which are 40G from the upstairs closet to the server room. If needed it would be easy to upgrade those to 100G, and since there are 24 strands available you really could expand as far as you are every going to need to go with WDM and the like.

The one really good use case for only fiber was running it down my driveway to our gate, which is about a 1/4 mile in distance. That is something that would be more challenging to do with copper. [although I do have copper installed].

From my perspective the cost of running fiber was almost 0 compared to the entire project because so much more cost is involved in path finding and clearing ( cutting holes, etc), and the actual pulling. I was very fortunate to have a large group of friends who spent a couple of days working with me to do the large pulls, combined with many weeks of evenings and weekends doing the rest myself. Many hands makes that task much much easier.

My particular build is documented in a build thread:

That's because the original F-18 was not a replacement for the F-14 - it was intended to be a complement. The F-18E/F which did replace the F-14 entered service in like 1997 or something. The F-18E/F is not really a variant of the F-18 - calling it E/F was a procurement masterstroke.
They hire someone to carry them? They fund an insurance pool that allows them to dial a handy caretaker within distance when they need it? Maybe it's enough to fund stair-capable wheel chair robots. Who knows. Maybe they just call ahead, check, and then ask a friend or family member to go with them.
This.

I’m currently using a few different filesystems for different use-cases, and looking forward to bcachefs because (as I understand it) it covers some use-cases that I’ve been dreaming of for ages and not yet found any solution for:

- raid5/6 with odd-sized disks (btrfs does raid1 with odd-sized disks, mdadm & zfs do raid5/6 with equally-sized disks) - great for a homelab server that I upgrade ship-of-theseus style rather than the enterprise “buy a whole new server with whole new larger disks in one go”

- SSD as a cache integrated with HDD RAID (right now I’m using bcache + mdadm + ext4 for this usecase; having the filesystem coordinate all three of those layers feels more elegant and efficient)

- Different settings for different directories in the same filesystem (my super-important documents get RAID1 across 4 drives, my blu-ray rips that I can just re-rip if I lose them get RAID0, everything else gets RAID5)
Quite. Code is a liability. LOC is an utterly idiotic metric of programmer contribution, as it incentivizes increasing liability, over all sorts of other better contributions like good design, more automation, mentoring, customer obsession, etc.

(And for those arguing that “but the least amount of lines is not necessarily best”, yes, of course, that can obscure logic; the point isn’t to flip the value of LOC as a metric, the point is to not treat it as a good metric).
You won't find it on Google. It's a technique from a book for executives from the early 80's. The last chapter is on how to use a personal computer to manage your files instead of a file cabinet! No internet.

T.R.A.F stands for (T)rash (R)ead (A)ction (F)ile

The idea is everyday you, "along with your secretary" lol, Go through each item in your inbox and mark each item with either a T R A or F. You don't read or contemplate on the item you simply categorize it and move to the next item.

Mark T - to TRASH item like junk mail, unimportant, not worthy of a response

Mark R - to READ later ie articles, memos, letters, etc.

Mark A - to take an ACTION on this item. Phone call, pay a bill, etc

Mark F - to FILE this item away receipts, tax return, etc.

You are to do this exercise at the beginning of each day. The idea being your action pile is the items you need to work on. Schedule a time daily or weekly to go through your read pile and catch up on reading. Trash all the garbage and file away things you need to keep but don't need to look at.

Whatever you didn't complete from your action & read list you put back in your inbox for the next day. Each day mark a dot in the upper right had corner of the item. Once the item collects 3 dots. Force yourself to handle it that day. No more delay.

This system was designed in the days before computers but apply it to your email inbox and it works very well. I started by just using flags on the email messages. Green flag action, Blue Flag read, Red Flag trash, Orange Flag file.

I have since evolved into a custom system that is a blend of TRAF and Eiesenhower Matrix. I'm actually designing a mail client around this idea. It has greatly improved my ability to handle the onslaught of material that comes my way.

It's not really a model, it's accounting. The reason it holds up well is because it's an identity. If you represent all the flows they must sum to zero by definition. Those that ignore that (most people) miss some fundamental truths, which you allude to. No idea why you should be voted down other than to think those truths break much cherished dogma.

Assuming that is a typo where "without" is supposed to sit, which men have that luxury? I know a man who was raped by a group of strangers at knifepoint, so he doesn't have that luxury. Or does he? Do I, now that I know the reality beyond a mere statistic or a rumour?

> It's only massive in terms of wasted taxpayer funds

I'm confused, because you called-out the Vegas tunnel, but are you claiming a 30-mile, 55-station tunnel is not a massive project? Or are you referring to the already-built 1.7 mile LVCC Loop?

Beyond that, there are no taxpayer dollars used in the project. It's entirely privately financed. In fact, the system pays a concession fee to Las Vegas.

> If boring company has built any noteworthy tunnels within the next ten years

Well, TBC is already constructing the 55-station Las Vegas Loop as we speak. It's scheduled to open in 2 years, at least partially by Super Bowl LVIII in Vegas in February 2024. The entire system will not be done, but enough of it will be to be noteworthy.

I will try to remember to do that! Don't worry, you won't be the only one who got this wrong.
> We've had a good run the last 40 years, the next 7 might not be so rosey.

The "good run" also relied on that identity. The national income accounting identity tells us that if we run massive trade deficits for 40 years, we get a massive trade debt that has to be borrowed in foreign currencies. It can be either borrowed by the government, or individuals/businesses. The government can't cut national debt without reducing (or better, reversing) the trade deficit, so what it's actually doing is shifting that borrowing to the private sector.

So ultimately reduction of government spending amounts to selling the private sector to pay off government debt, which imo is not good. We shift from owing other countries paper that we have an infinite supply of, to owing them actual parts of the economy.

We need to be shifting spending from all of the direct subsidy to the wealthy of course, but we shouldn't be reducing anything. Turns out that giving money to rich people isn't a good investment because they steer most of it to financial scams and rent-seeking ploys. The government needs to spend in a way that targets lowering the trade deficit, and that means investing in things with a return. Part of that should be trying to shift the debts of normal individuals to government, where they can be more strategically invested in a way that will reduce imports or increase exports.

The debts of normal individuals are mostly wrapped up in housing, healthcare, and education. So we should be subsidizing those rather than the stock market.
He's not making an argument. He's stating the obvious. With zero sense of shame and humility. Right? So to what end? FFS, this isn't a random fluff piece on Medium. It's from the most power financial organization in the world. And we're supposed to get just nod and get behind this?

I'm not speaking to the individual per. He's simply another (over-educated) representative of a mindset that creates more problems than it solves. The Fed coming out in Sept of 2022 and proposing the "argument" is comical at best. Apparently, not a single history course is requited to get those flashy degrees, nor is staying up on current events. Instead, they toss this out as something insightful and profound in a "oh we didn't see this coming sorta way"? Only the naive would buy this.

The bottom line: The Fed is making decisions without a sense for the broader context and/or broader impact is negligent and irresponsible. This is too little too late.
Given my experience with ADHD, I'd assume that if you have a person who has ADHD, and for whom flight is one of their interests, that you would want them to have that ability to notice things with almost cat-like reflexes (which is one of the benefits I have personally experienced, on multiple occasions I have noticed an object start falling off a shelf and reached over to catch it mid-air). The stimulant medications tend to lessen these abilities. I want my pilot to be able to notice aberrations quickly and be able to respond to them quickly.
I am not a doctor or chemist so I do not want to speak definitively, but I highly doubt most common drugs (Xanax, Advil, etc) really lose much efficacy past their expiration date (at least within some reasonable time, like 10-15 years). Happy to be shown evidence otherwise. I wouldn’t rely on this for say, antibiotics to treat an infection, but I wouldn’t hesitate to take a 5 year old Xanax.

Ah, so A and C where both subscribed to B, but during A's processing of the event it assumed C had already processed it and tried to look up some state. Is that correctly understood?

This sounds more like an architectural deficiency (as you say probably from architectural decay) than a systematic design edge case. I can't quite understand what information A would need to get from C that could be included in the fat event but not simply queried from B.
> Tesla uses iron phosphate in its cheaper models, but the high end is still reliant on NMC. I'd be interested to know the maximum range available on LFP.

In theory 490 km, in practice, 380 km. Because they don't degrade as much, after a few years they are closer to what you call the high end models.

I always have some trepidation on claims that things could be better in a field if we only did it differently. I am open to "what got you here may not get you further," but I get the strong feeling that the metrics we think are valuable, are ignoring many other metrics and ideas that are doing some heavy lifting.
Just as a point of note, the vapour cone often seen around fast jets at low level in humid conditions doesn't necessarily mean they're going supersonic themselves. Certain local areas of airflow do, however, which causes the drop in air pressure and thus condensation.

> But outside of that, getting rid of unused pills is good practice. These pills are going to expire. Once they do, you can no longer rely on them doing what you expect.

Evidence required.

Expiration dates are put on many things as a CYA, but I don't expect dry chemicals destined for human (or animal!) use kept in an airtight container protected from the sunlight to degrade within 10 years.

Should they degrade, the question is into what, and how much: 5% degradation into what the human body breaks the chemical into should have no consequence.

This tutorial is very outdated, eg. `AVPicture`, which is used throughout, is completely deprecated and removed from the library, so you will simply encounter linker errors trying to follow this tutorial and will have to replace every `avpicture` call made in the tutorial. Also, `avcodec_decode_video2` is deprecated and you have to use `avcodec_send_packet` and `avcodec_receive_frame`.

The FFmpeg libraries are possibly the worst thing I have ever worked with in my life. I have never been more afraid to use a library than this. FFmpeg libraries randomly break themselves, so if you find an answer from a few years ago, chances are it's useless. Want to free an AVPacket? `av_free_packet` is deprecated,. You can use `av_packet_unref` (but there's _also_ a function named `av_packet_free` that doesn't do quite the same thing).

Most questions on Stack Overflow or related platforms have no replies, the library is not well-documented (requiring you to always read the massive source code and the API reference). In addition, some things are outright undocumented and missing from the API reference or documentation and require reading often-unfinished conversations on the mailing lists with no solution. The FFmpeg libraries have very little error handling, which means if you're a bad C developer like me you are required to recompile FFmpeg with debugging information unstripped so you can trace segfaults in gdb.

https://github.com/leandromoreira/ffmpeg-libav-tutorial/ is a better and more up-to-date tutorial than this one.

Fiber is, as runjake mentioned, very very cheap. The raw cost is less than copper, and that is part of why I ran so much of it in my build. (I am not the OP). I did however include some multimode in that equation only because some AV equipment uses is, and not all of them use replaceable optics modules.

I would strongly agree that if you are running fiber, run single mode everywhere. It is amazing how far singlemode fiber can go compared to copper if you are willing to spend money on the endpoints.
I like it. It keeps the beverage theme while having a more obvious pronunciation and the implication of a place to be social. Nice.

As a sibling commenter notes, it's great that you recognize the real root of this is often not a lack of empathy by physicians, but instead constraints of the system and especially the payors, who are not patients but insurers (or the federal government). Frankly, I'm surprised a small community-based primary care physician practice is even financially tractable in 2022.

This bit from the article was also very interesting to me:

Participants described both financial and time-related challenges of accommodating communication needs. One non-rural-practicing primary care physician stated: “I took it upon myself to actually hire an outside service to do [sign language interpretation]. They billed the office. …Their bill was higher than what we were making, so it was a losing venture. …It cost me $30 per visit for that patient, out of pocket.”

‘Just charge for the check mark’ seems quite likely to fail in the ways your interlocutor alludes. Moreover, this particular status symbol is explicitly not a marker of wealth, but rather of a more nebulous type of status.
For me, this depends on the semantics of the system. Is the sender commanding the receiver to carry out the rest of the process, or is the sender broadcasting information to a dynamic set of interested parties? In other words, are you building a pipeline or a pub-sub?

If the former, there is inherently tight coupling between sender and receiver, and the sender should send all necessary context to simplify the system design.

If the latter, then we talking about a decoupled system, where the sender cannot make assumptions about what info the receiver does or doesn't need to take further action. A thin event is called for to keep the contract simple.

One of my frustrations with the event-driven trend is that people don't always seem to think through what they're designing. It's easy to end up with a much more complex system than a transactional architecture.

Generally, I favor modeling as much of my system as possible as pipelines, and use pub-subs sparingly, as places where you have fan out to parallel pipelines.

Raw events are like GOTOs. They are extremely powerful, but also very difficult to reason about.
The Fed has A LOT of power and influence both in the direct impact of its actions, as well as the leadership and "culture" it establishes among its group-think peers. You're naive to think otherwise.
