> Without diving deeper, this seems like a simple, clean and perhaps even elegant way to deal with the issue.

I like your idea in theory. In practice, many of the calls are originating from countries which would not comply with any regulatory framework requiring this, and are in many cases intentionally complicit in scamming. Additionally, it would require telcos to know every number in your address book, something I think is frankly none of their business.
I'd say, like almost anything, "it's complicated and there are tradeoffs".

Niching improves efficiency. It makes it easier to communicate your value proposition, find clients that are a good fit, makes it easier to get-up-to-speed on new projects, and ensures you can deliver on the projects you take on. If you're ever going to do a "productized service", you kind-of need to have a niche.

On the flip side, niching reduces the total market size of your customers (e.g. can't fulfill requests for mobile apps if you're a WordPress shop), makes it more difficult to transition to other domains if you're trying to get a job (pigeonholing is real), and it's boring to do the same tech or industry forever (personal opinion).
That is so cool... I went to New Mexico Tech where that testing range is. I remember the time I went up to the top of M mountain to work on a ham radio repeater and when driving back we saw an M-1 tank parked with a shell resting on a track. We were tempted to run out and grab the shell but just then a security car pulled up behind us.
> "I am once again asking for" a common sense explanation for how increasing interest rates will reduce the prices of retail food and gas.

It will not. The only way to reduce prices of oil/gas and fertilizers (for food) is to bring back the amount of oil/gas and ammonia that went offline due to Russia. There is no amount of digging anywhere in the world that will quickly replace this much lost natural resource.

What raising interest rates will do is cause less spending in all non-oil/gas goods and services. This means every other industry must expect a reduction in revenues because the average customer is going to be spending more on oil/gas and food.

In other words, the choices for companies are: be ok with reduced revenue or be ok with reducing prices.

The choices for individuals are: be ok with consuming less non-oil/gas/food things or sell assets to fund oil/gas/food things.
Easy to waste less of something you don't have much of.
Yeah vacuum raptor will have higher thrust (naturally), so it is substantially more powerful.

However that isn't the most important factor, it's that the thrust/weight ratio is so much better.
Of course they are sponsoring it. Those who have the most to lose want to be in a position to control the narrative. Any org that takes money has to understand the alignment of incentives.
that is the exact purpose of the action,

reduce demand

it does suck being on the receiving end - I do sympathise - and I am simply making an observation
Home prices will fall materially once people are forced to sell. That won't happen until broad layoffs occur.
A lot of things happened. Apollo 1 disaster, end of space race, space shuttle not hitting enough launch volume and having unclear requirements, Challenger and Columbia incidents which skyrocketed shuttle between-flight maintenance, continued failure of NLS>Constellation>SLS.
But if you modify the leaf, don't you also have to modify the branch node that points to the leaf, so that it points to the new one? And every node from there to the root?

Oh I see. It’s difficult to justify replacing rails, that has been successfully used for many years, by something not as good (worse?).
Huh, I need to pick me up one of those plentiful jobs.

Just thinking out loud, for us folks who have done that for a long time, I can see more reasons why people don't look for more gigs once they have stepped off of the wheel. (aside from the real or imagined problem of ageism of course).

. The torture of the modern software interview. Not worth it if you have enough money to live on already.

. The tendency for modern companies to simply grind out more of the same. There was a time when there was a lot of genuinely new product development going on in the larger embedded and workstation app space.

. The strong notion of small stepwise increments in development rather than being cut loose for some time. Writing to a series of tickets really sucks if you are used to being left alone.

I'm not saying that things are worse, just different.
Rocky Linux
Don't support open source led by a corporation. There is no primary motivation behind the project. Everyone working on it is subject to the whims of ephemeral leadership and a headless monster moving towards indeterminate goals. The 'community' holds no sway, because it's not built by and for a community; it's built by a capitalist enterprise for a capitalist enterprise. Much more cathedral than bazaar. They may feign to accept your contributions, but only when it's extremely convenient.

Look at nearly any open source project that's corporate-led, and then - if you can find a FOSS alternative, because most of them die if there is an incumbent well-funded project - look there too. The FOSS one works the way you want it to. It has features built-in that the corporate-led one locks up as a "paid feature", and refuses to accept an open-source alternative contribution.

Our entire Open Source community only works when it really is a community. People contributing their works and getting it merged just because it's what we all want. Corporations aren't part of the community, because they don't do anything without profit. Imagine a FOSS project lead who wouldn't merge a PR unless she could make money off it.
Fortunately for taxpayers, since SpaceX launch costs are way lower than their competitors' costs.
This is a major cause of inflation but it's mostly a local zoning issue, not a monetary policy issue. These countries straight up refuse to build supply enough to meet demand.

(1) many folks have convinced themselves housing can be both a good investment and affordable when these are antithetical goals and...

(2) they've also convinced themselves that this is the one market in the history of time where supply and demand magically don't exist, and that increasing supply simply won't reduce prices for some reason.
The Fed's tools are very blunt, and the only way it can reduce at-the-register prices for things like food and gas are indeed by hammering down aggregate demand, i.e. inducing a recession.

Of course, whatever the Fed does may be counterbalanced by supply-side issues, whether economic or political; a warmer-than-expected winter moderating gas prices, or executive actions impeding investment into O&G raising prices, and so on; and other demand-side issues, such as more helicopter money sprayed against fixed supply.
Analog 101 sayings were not nimble enough with technology.

I've worked on projects where wearing a lot of hats was much more of a pleasure than sending a change request.... Waiting.... Getting innacurate results.... Waiting..... Sending another waiting request..... Etc....

> Why is API design/backend engineering the only software discipline that gets maligned like this?

It's web development in general.
This affects mortgage rates, but not housing prices. If anything, housing prices should decrease a bit as rates go up, since people tend to buy based on monthly payment which is house price + rate.

Therefore, your down payment should be just as effective as it was before, particularly if it's enough to pay for much of the house and keep your monthly payment lower.
Mergers Aren’t Always Fair
>I just read the link. I don't think your characterization of the conversation is fair.

"If you dont like it, fork it. Stop bothering us about it, we will never fully remove the slur filter."

"stop bothering us about it" is , in my experience, a huge red-flag to run into while perusing issues and commits.

a 'code of conduct' that dictates all use cases for software for the forever-future is a cute concept -- but 1) it has never worked, and 2) it's basically untenable in the open-source environment.

If the software IS workable, it WILL be forked, and your power-from-on-high to force behaviour on people crumbles. If the goal really is to force your political/ethical position on people who use your software it's probably better to do so more transparently so as to not scare the herd into another avenue of control from another actor.

As with any software tool in my preferred catalog of tools I prefer one that doesn't foist it's own methods and standards onto me; furthermore I prefer my tools don't foist their politics and societal standards onto me. I don't think that's the purpose of a tool.

>I would add, lemmy doesn't seem to be about pure free speech, or free speech above all else.

that moral absolutism doesn't need to exist within software. We know that hard-coded lists of restrictions hidden deep within software are a Bad Thing for a long variety of actual technical reasons -- there is nothing stopping the developers of Lemmy from shipping a filter-list that reflects their values right along side their software; the choice towards inflexibility and zero-tolerance just makes the software less reliable, less maintainable, more opinionated, and less popular.
They're not trying to reduce existing prices per se. They're trying to reduce the extent of price increases going forward.

The Fed can do that be damaging demand by damaging the labor market and reducing the value of assets (which also damages spending power ultimately in numerous ways).

There should be a lot more consideration given to increasing and improving on the production side right now, however the US is not nearly so skilled at that these days (whether industrially or policy wise). If you walk into your typical CVS or Walgreens and look at their empty baby formula section, it tells all. Supply chains are still a mess in the US.
>They also maintain the highest profit margins in the industry (14.95% vs 4.32%).

They have a different business model than OEMs, this is not apples-to-apples. OEMs act as wholesalers.

Besides the fact that you're talking about the efficiency of a company that literally produces 10x the number of cars. Let's see what happens to Tesla if they ever reach that scale.

>Toyota: 2.6M (+5% y/y) Tesla: 344K (+42% y/y)

Base rate fallacy. Why not use absolute numbers of cars, rather than percentage increase? It would tell a different story, wouldn't it?
Here's my try:
- Unlike popular perception, money is not created by "printing it". Money is created, or the supply of money is added to, when entities (corporations, institutions, people) borrow money from a bank.

- When interest rates go up, the cost of borrowing goes up because you have to pay back more over time.

- When the cost of borrowing goes up people borrow less.

- When their is less borrowing their is less money in the economy. Less of a currency trying to purchase the same amount of goods lowers prices.
It's also worth mentioning that this effectively outsources much of the risk to the taxpayer. Because the govt is self-insured, there is no insurance needed to limit losses. This is particularly important in risky business ventures, like aerospace.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. The hybrid contractor/govt model has many upsides. SpaceX deserves a lot of credit for what they've done, but that context is important when gushing about when big gambles pay off. Those risks may never occur in a different paradigm.
Don't worry. You wouldn't want to be the bag holder in an economy where there are wholesale layoffs.
I disagree. Supply constraints were a figment of unsustainable demand. There was simply too much money sloshing around to satisfy the hedonistic human treadmill of MORE!

Flip the causality: fossil fuel (and everything else) prices are increasing because of an increased money supply. Raising the interest rate indirectly lowers the money supply.

hmmm, yknow maybe it's time to really take some time off (2 to 3 months) since you can afford it anyways.

i wont force you to do any shit you dont want to do right now, just chill out for a bit, relax, unwind, unplug.

then come back stronger and better after a couple of months. maybe with mental clarity on where you want to be headed in your career or business, if youd want to eat healthy or exercise some more, if youd want to date better quality of women, if youd want a higher paying job or additional streams of income.

the world is your oyster man, go chill the fuck out when you can afford it. most cant, you can, so make it count.
I have played a multiple times with a PSVR1, and in my opinion, it was one of the best optimized VR systems I have tried. Everything felt smooth, fully optimized, did not feel dizzy. The low resolution was the problem for me, I really loved it. Now waiting to test out PSVR2 when it launches.
This will do nothing for actually impacting inflation. Instead it will crash the economy. Real inflation seems to be due to price gouging by companies[0], combined with energy increases due to OPEC price fixing [1], and rent increases due to collusion [2] and corporate domination housing market [3].

Jerome Powell had no answers to the Senate Oversight committee when asked how increasing rates would actually reduce that kind of inflation because his goal is to crash the economy for his buddies on Wall Street - they have lobbyists at the Fed too. [4]

Fortunately there are entire books written on SpaceX's founding years from interviewing employees which support the point that Musk played a pretty big role in SpaceX getting to where it is now.
Yep - you're right. This is a red flag I learned to recognize when I was young. When I turned 16 and could legally apply to jobs, I walked into a local restaurant and asked about a dishwashing position. I filled out the application right in front of the hostess, handed it to her, and without her even looking at the name she asked "Can you start today?". I took the job. I know better...now....
(Not sure if this is good advice, but...) remember that you can always refinance at a lower rate when the rates come back down.

It's obviously still not advisable to buy a house if you can't afford the monthly payments, but remembering that you can always refinance in a couple years when the rates normalize might help if you have FOMO from the super low rates of the past few years.
I think a performance improvement in anything existing is great. Especially for something as big as TSC. It has such a large amount of usage that many people will appreciate. While it would be great to have it reimplemented effectively in something inherently faster, not improving what we have while it's clearly still the best option wouldn't be helpful.
I get tons of spam calls and texts, but I really never see any of them anymore. I'm on Android and Googles distributed spam detection is really working great. I'll get a notice sometimes that I got a txt moved to spam but most of the time I never see these, and it seems to also block all robocalls too and they only go straight to voicemail.

I probably have 15 voicemails right now I never knew came through because they're junk and auto-blocked.
If you have good credit, you'd be surprised how low PMI can get when you put less than 20% down. I wish I had learned it sooner. Saved 6 figures for a down payment only to find out that my PMI was only $103/mo on a $600k mortgage. Ended up doing 5% down instead and threw the rest of the cash into immediate home improvements and the market.

Disclaimer: I did get in when rates were in the low 3s. No clue what PMI is like nowadays or if it changes with the current rate environment.
What's the conversion rate on that though?

This should be happening, but prices do not seem to be falling in-line with what we would expect. I have no answer as to why this is.

I think you're missing the forrest for the trees here - they put "steal" in ""s because they know it's not stealing.

The point of their comment was to criticise TomTom for not doing much interesting themselves, not to discuss the nuances of OSM. In this context, "steal" makes sense because it's something that TomTom can claim to be innovative with while actually the innovation credit belongs to OSM.

At least in Germany, cars are rated for a maximum towing capacity. BMW X3 is a small SUV and I think it is rated for 750 kg unbraked and 2,400 kg braked (up to 12% slope) total trailer weight. A loaded braked double horse trailer is probably within these limits, so it is not underpowered. Obviously underpowered towing vehicles may be pulled out by the police for safety reasons.

F350 are rare in Europe, which does not mean that they (or similar vehicles) are not available, but they are also not as practical to use as in the US.
There is no "pool"

There is only a market.

And the market, in it's perfect wisdom, will always supply exactly the correct number of talented C++ devs.

If you cannot get one, it is because you are not willing to pay the market price.
This is it. You trigger a pull back in the economy, if you get lucky you don't trigger a recession. But, if you need to trigger a recession you do it rather than out of control inflation.
And who produces the endless single-use bottles? does that rely on slave labour too?
Crashing the economy would ease inflation though by cause a big demand hit.
We can add in the dealer's profits then too, right?

I don’t think it’s unrelated:

I often see that argument made in bad faith, eg when someone who believes conclusions from biased data encounters AIs making data driven conclusions, more than I do when the AI is genuinely biased.

I also have trouble taking it seriously, since that same standard isn’t applied to existing information services (eg, “media ethics” posts condemning their open racism) — only to new information services which might disrupt the current social order.

I should have stated that more directly — but I view these concerns largely as after the fact ethical nits from people whose comfortable myths are confronted by data, projecting their own manipulative behavior onto others.
Recently had a hard time exporting 20+ OTP secrets from Google Authenticator.

I believe I discovered a bug in the app: if you long press a secret > edit > leave an empty string as the comment, and then export a QR code containing this secret, your other device will fail to import ("QR code cannot be interpreted.").

I've only seen this happen with secrets where the comment is put in parentheses and appended to the regular, immutable name of the secret. There's another type of secret where the entire name can be edited, this I did not test. But if you try the import/export flow on a secret whose name contains `()` I bet you'll hit the bug.

I briefly tried Aegis but you must have Aegis+Authenticatior installed, and be root, or you can exfiltrate Authenticator's database file from private storage, which best as I can tell, also requires root. Shouldn't have gone with Authenticator at all, I've learned.

It seems optimal to simply retain the original secret (QR code or whichever medium) you are given when 2FA is initially enabled.

This is the current talking point du-jour of the American progressive left, but I think it's safe to say the Fed knows what they're doing and have done this before.
Drinking is incredibly common, so everyone has some experience with it, and very few experience loss due to it. Same reason the flu vaccine has perpetually low uptake.

Prohibition is also taught in American schools as THE failure of government policy. The barest suggestion that alcohol regulation might be necessary to prevent some problem is going to be immediately viewed through that lens.
I'm guessing you're on macOS 13? The machine I'm on now is still on 12.6 (`Darwin Kernel Version 21.6.0`), and `openssl version` reports `OpenSSL 3.0.6`. Glad to see it if they made the switch in the new release, though.
So, basically Concorde, but worse and more restricted. Needs a launch site remote enough to not drive everybody crazy with the noise (Shuttle launches could have been heard dozens of miles away), and a secure trajectory to not kill anybody on the ground if things go bad. Not even talking about reliability, g-loads, and many other things.

You can't jump from Mayfair, London to Manhattan with this system, at which point any flight time improvement becomes negligible.
I'm glad someone pointed out these things, as I concur. I learnt C++ via the C++ programming language book, and it gave me many of the above benefits/insights. (The book has its faults though). It is akin to trawling through the CLRS book. It does make you a better programmer but no-one knows why. (An attempt at sarcasm - I know most of us never need to do advanced data structures/algorithms but it helps refine the mind for programming challenges).
Ask HN: How much margin are large language model companies (like OpenAI) making?

I hear about large enterprises not paying the retail rates for cloud providers like AWS, is the same also happening in the large language model space?
