People seem to forget that the same oil companies that are making record profits were nearly made insolvent by government lockdowns during COVID. Oil and gas prices were rising long before Russia invaded Ukraine. Of course they are going to raise prices, since the government artificially created so much volatility. The sanctions on Russia only made the situation that was already unfolding much worse.

Unfortunately, people complain that the government needs to intervene fix a problem that governments were responsible for creating, while using Russia as a smokescreen for the terrible government policies that got us where we are in the first place.

I can give me 2 cents (or paisa hah), apologies if it gets a little sentimental, I am drunk. Looks like I've ascended on the Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Grew up in a poor family with my dad as the sole earner taking care of my mother and 3 kids. Mum used to do minor clothes repair work for neighbours for some extra money, but it wasn't much. One of my first memories is waddling along to the ration shop (cheap subsidized government shops) with my mother to buy rice and kerosene for cooking.

Things were hard for quite a while (I was about 12 or 13), it didn't really change until my oldest sibling got a job at Infosys after finishing university. Now that I look back on it, what they were paying him wasn't much, but for us it was a life changer. We could afford daily essentials without any hassle. No longer we needed to buy things on credit from the grocery stores, no longer we were worried about not being able to pay the electricity bills at the end of the month.

It did change the trajectory of our life dramatically, as it allowed me and my other sibling to afford university. I did a bachelors in Computer Science and eventually managed to move to Europe for work after a few years. We are in a much better position than we were 15 years ago.

I know people here tend to look down on these cheap curry-consultancies for their dogshit services but at the other end of the line there are real humans too. Same dreams and ambitions as you do. It's true that these companies pay their actual employees peanuts and treat them like shit, but sometimes that's good enough when the baseline of what life gave you to begin with was wayyyy less.

This is just anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt, but this was a similar story for many of my friends from childhood.

It's a little funny that people here assume that everyone on this forum is some FAANG engineer earning $400k in SF, there's also a small section of us little people hanging out in the corners :)

The west is shooting itself in the foot with socialism while Asian countries are lifting people out of poverty at an unprecendented rate.

Inequality is a feature, the pie grows larger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtJwAYJ9B08

Instead of lifting poor class upwards, the west wants to pull everyone else down. Reducing quality of life and regressing in every metric of progress. The future is in Asia, places like Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Singapore. Socialism is so easily captivating to average IQ voter class in USA, it is a fight every generation has to go through. Countless examples of failures won't convince people.

The likes of Greta Thunburg have changed their tune from climate alarmicism to just destroy Capitalism all together: https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/status/15885879870379786...

In absolute terms, yes we are seeing advancements in tech/medicine and the like and that will always help more and more people, but in more relative economic terms it's questionable whether the gap between poorer nations and richer ones is actually closing, because there is economic evidence that the gap is actually widening:

Are those numbers from China?

Is there a reason to trust them if so, considering they would be coming from a brutal, authoritarian dictator?
Wow, what a legacy that man left behind. I don't trust the numbers in the article, but even if his impact was a fraction of the 2.4M lives saved, he's had a remarkable impact in Australia. Thanks for sharing!

No but changes have been announced. Fundamentally altering what the "blue tick" means alone will give e.g. major brands pause. As of Tuesday (or whenever they actually launch it) someone will be able to register the Twitter account @C0ca_cola and pay $8 to give it a verified checkmark.

I stopped when Dolores ceased to be the best female psychopath on television, but they instead tried to reframe her as someone good. That serie just did not had that something special first one had, so I lost interest.
At least currently, Russia is far below USSR median PPP income, inflation adjusted.

Life has gotten worse for the average person in Russia in the last 40 years, not better - by almost every measurable metric.

And that's with all the low cost tech they can import - like $20 cell phones and pirated Hollywood movies.

If China is on one end of success, Russia is on the other.
Yes, but based on the available information in the Github issue(s), I don't think it is going to change, although I'd be happy if it did.

I believe Zig and Go's adoption is essentially capped with the compiler being this pedantic, as it overly bisects potential adopters. It is too polarizing. Some people love it, some people dislike it, but for the people who dislike it, it is enough to write off the entire language.
[Massive spoilers? Not everyone agrees with me, but…] Dolores was never the "Maker" and always the Robot Devil: the first/fallen host (angel), the "morning star" (lots of repeated symbolism/imagery there throughout all four seasons), and the rebel (Wyatt) against Robot God. I thought the Robot Devil maybe trying to bring free will back to humanity was an interesting twist. Though the actual point of it I saw was "now it is the Robot Devil's time to judge humanity and its net worth".
A lot of people around me in Germany from all ages and bubbles use this feature in WhatsApp as if it were some kind of Instagram. I see multiple status updates every day.
Politicians in Texas and Florida are just as unlikely as California to unilaterally switch proportionally allocating electors, and for the same reasons. A more representative national politics requires coordinated, national reform.

However, the first-past-the-post issues you're talking about have very little to do with gerrymandering? EC / Senate politics are unrepresentative of population-majority preferences due to where people have decided to put themselves; House politics are unrepresentative due to how the districts for each seat are drawn. Gerrymandering is the political manipulation of the latter.
Not sure why you're downvoted but I'd love to know the answer to this.
While I agree that the findings would be "Putin helped the Right by meddling in foreign elections" -- the ability to plant the idea "your elections should not be trusted" may on-balance make it irrelevant to Russia's ends which party the meddling was initially associated with. The events of January 6th make it evident that many on the right are of the belief that elections are no longer free or fair.

All that is to say it's kind of ironic. If I'm correct, the information that Putin helped the right by meddling, will be reduced and spun by many outlets to go from "there was meddling in our elections that helped the right" into just "our elections are untrustworthy".
Apparently the Multidimensional Poverty Measure is defined as;

An index that captures the percentage of households in a country deprived along three dimensions of well-being – monetary poverty, education, and basic infrastructure services – to provide a more complete picture of poverty.

Doesn't Hue do this already with a more elegant solution?

Ever since

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Laws

agriculture has been the most contentious issue in world trade and it is the reason why the World Trade Organization has been deadlocked since 1999. A while back Brazil asked the question: "What industries can we lead the world in?" and one of the answers was meatpacking so they got behind

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBS_S.A.

That is, JBS is to Brazil what Boeing or Apple Computer are to the US and it is by no means anomalous that it has a great deal of political influence.

When we tell them what to do with their land they react the same way we'd react if they said "It's unfair that we have to pay royalties for software like Microsoft Windows and Hollywood Movies, not to mention GMO seeds".

Most of the people in the US I talk to who rightly want to see a stop to deforestation in the Amazon are ignorant about agriculture in Brazil (e.g. they think that JBS is backwards, not the fiercely competitive corporation it is) and ignorant about agriculture in general and not particularly understanding of the process by which deforestation happens in Brazil.

It doesn't help that many questions are not well understood such as the relationship between land use in the area south of the Amazon and local climate changes that could cause the rainforest to recess northward.

There could be some compromise but so long as developed country NGOs are speaking to Brazilians in a patronizing way it isn't going to happen.
Using nice string and algorithm libraries helps a lot without introducing all the craziness of cpp.

You can also do zig style memory management (ex: allocator pools per request etc) which helps.
Not likely to happen. While it's OSS, there's still a central Signal backend, and they don't like clients other than their own to connect to it. Any fork would eventually need to have their own backend, and now you're basically no longer using Signal since you won't be able to communicate with anybody else not using yours.
The US has injected untold billions into the Indian market through off shoring phone support. India has made hundreds of millions of dollar scamming America's most vulnerable population.
Essentially our hardware isn't perfect, and there's delays so the software has a bunch of patches and workarounds to interpolate what it believes is occurring, which happens to be right a lot of the time. Normally only with illusions where this reality is confronted to us.
Squares are not Rectangles anymore!

In order for my new and improved Rectangle to talk to another really cool Rectangle, I have to resize one of my edges to fit nicely on the Square and the 2nd Rectangle must do the same. The Square is a stable interface that rarely changes.

I hate that the Square is a stable structure that doesn't change sizes dramatically when it's proven that a new size is better.

In conclusion, Squares are no longer Rectangles.

> K8s and Docker are purely Linux things.

Correct, K8s and Docker will only work one single platform, namely Linux and Windows. No, wait, that's two. K8s and Docker can only possibly run on these two platforms: Linux, Windows and macOS. Ok, let me start over. The three platforms that support K8s and Docker are Linux, Windows, macOS and Oracle Solaris[1]. That's not... ok, the FOUR and ONLY four platforms that can run K8s and Docker are Linux, Windows, macOS, Illumos[2], Solaris, SmartOS, and FreeBSD.[3] How many did I say?

K8s and Docker run anywhere someone is driven to make them run.

Perhaps the checkmark could be issued to a specific hash of the username and display name. If any of those are changed obviously the issued cert would be invalid. If they restore the information to match what the cert was issued for then it regains certification.

Venezuela imports most of their food. When their crummy oil lost its market they were soon bankrupt. Their oil-supported socialist government did nothing, and their economy collapsed.

These things are all larger than some individual actor.
Is there anyone that actually gets excited when they see a platform has stories, or is adding them?

I feel like it's just out-of-touch product managers who see everyone else doing the stories thing and blindly aping it cause it's the thing to do.

In reality, the only place people seem to use stories is Snapchat, Instagram, and seemingly some people post to Facebook stories but I think it's mostly cause of the toggle in Instagram to cross-post to there.
You're comparing national debt with total debt.

PRC national debt gdp is ~70%, LOWER than India ~90%.

Also PRC has 5.5x the GDP / per capita vs India.
I agree "almost" defeats the point, and that columnar alignment is not very valuable, and so there's actually a stronger argument to be made: we should just use normal fonts for coding. What's wrong with, say, Helvetica?
Wait, what feature is this? Me and all my friends and family use WhatsApp and I've never seen anything like this.
I think that's just a measure that is meant to vary over time for a single state rather than vary over states for a single time. India struggles with problems of feeding, sheltering, and hygiene for its population.

Ultimately, the purpose of that statistic for the state to be able to tell whether its policies are working. The state, therefore, must construct measures that show progress when it makes progress and show regress when it makes errors. A measure that ultimately shows 0 progress even when real progress is made, is not that useful to the state.

A data nerd may want to normalize definitions (I certainly do and the MMR and IMR measurements are ones I find particularly annoying) but ultimately a state measures for its own purposes and not mine.
It's a mixed economy, with massive government inference in markets, just like literally every single country on the planet.
I prefer C for microcontrollers. Things are much more predictable as far as how much memory, stack space, and roughly how many processor cycles you're using for anything.
My vote is Matrix. I already bridge mine to Signal anyway.
Let's not conflate "normalized" with "standard".

"Standard" implies a lot, and definitely there is nothing about "enabling two-way communication between willing participants" that requires "make available a video on the screens of my contacts in a non-directed way" to be part of the offering.

Signal is not social media. That is not its intention, nor its purpose, nor even its design. It is a messaging service. We already have a discovery feature in Signal: using your contacts, you can see who has Signal installed or not.

This feels like bikeshedding to the max, because it is.
It's portable assembler in the language and (mostly) semantics, but not system interfacing. Meaning you can just create functions, loops, assign variables, create expressions etc. in a common syntax that spans a wide variety of CPU architectures. You don't have to know the names of registers and what they are used for, whether you have a register-memory machine or or a load/store machine.

If you had to write really assembler programs across multiple machines, you'd appreciate how much above assembly C really is for remarkably low performance cost. I agree with you - I think that's a major part of the popularity - it was not the first systems language, nor high(er)-level language. It was the first that was widely portable, widely applicable (vs. FORTRAN), and equal or better performance than native assembly.
To avoid vendor lockin you can run an install of Home Assistant with a Deconz zigbee USB dongle, which can then act as a hub for a massive range of zigbee devices. including Phillips hue, but I use Ikea’s Tradfri bulbs at a third of the price.
COM! Have you ever tried interacting without some automated tooling or language support! It's horrible and verbose. When it comes to setting up everything to interact with COM, I feel likely I would be more productive in assembly.

Although at least a lot of it can be setup with automated tooling. Although the interface seems to also have a lot more overhead than a basic function call. I hardly would call it a better situation.
This!

How people here in Europe, for example CZ. Can buy things for even higher price in EUR than in USD, yet median salary here is 4x smaller than median salary in US.
Ridiculous.
I'm seeing that they don't appear to control or account for (nor could they, really) for how much plant or animal fat was used. They're also not indicating how much of the vegetable oils are saturated fats, though they do claim it's mostly rapeseed. Plant-based fats have a broad spectrum of properties though, and it seems questionable to lump them together.

Many people have the notion that vegetable oils are healthier than animal fats as well (that's not generally true from what I can tell, but people believe what they will), so they might be likely to use more of it than people who might believe animal fats should be moderated. It's hard to tell because I'm working from popular western ideas around nutrition, and this is data from China. I'm not sure if people there think animal fat should be moderated or that plant fats are healthier – it could be the opposite, or barely a consideration at all.

Another factor could simply be cost. Maybe people who use plant oils use more because it's cheaper, or vice versa.

I think the analysis should ultimately reflect in its conclusion that more research is required because the data isn't sufficient to draw meaningful conclusions. I also find this concerning:

"Our study found that cooking with lard/other animal fat oil is more beneficial to cardiovascular health in older Chinese."

On balance, cooking with refined oils is not shown to be beneficial to any otherwise-healthy population; there is no advantage to cooking with lard, and rather, there is an advantage to replacing those calories with sources of higher quality nutrition in general.

While plant vs animal fat is indeed controversial, it is not controversial that cooking with (especially frying, baking, broiling, grilling) high fat foods is not very good for people. Though the analysis indicates that animal fats may confer lower risk, it's fairly clear that high refined-fat diets generally do confer higher risk than diets with lower fat and/or fats from whole foods.

It seems we shouldn't worry about which fat to cook with so much as how to cook with less refined fats in general. If we consume reasonable amounts of fat (that is, far less than we tend to on average), the question of which type to cook with becomes far less pressing and relevant.

I'm not saying "never eat saturated fat" or "your high-fat cuts of meat are killing you"; I'm specifically saying that through many years of looking at this kind of data, I've never once seen anything indicating that cooking with refined oils is a good idea, ever. Get it from whole foods first, whether it's a plant or an animal, and you'll fare better (according to heaps of the best quality studies we have, ranging back a half-century).

So, that's why I'm not crazy about this analysis.

Apologies if I missed something. I was reading it on my phone, and I'd gladly be corrected. I don't want to put down a good analysis because my eyeballs aren't working.
You can do something like that with rxjs.
