I was used to them being $1.89 for an 18 pack at Kroger. If I'm working from home I eat 3-4 for breakfast each morning.

A couple months ago I noticed they were $5.50 and they've gone higher. 4 pack of butter has been $5.99 as well.
Looking at that chart, it seems to me that the 7950 is still a much better option than this, even though it has a marginally lower boost clock. AMD is still killing Intel on perf/watt.

You write as if the CPSC just set off the movement against gas cooktops. Some municipalities have banned new gas hookups for years.
An interesting recent book that traces the ideological tinges of neo-liberal, "austerity", politics back to WW1 is The Capital Order by Clara E Mattei [0]. It's a very well written (if also frequently depressing) example of political economy used to make a clear and distinct point about something like "austerity" which we often perceive as a "natural" requirement of the economy.

There are numerous physicians who have immigrated to the US already and are stuck working menial jobs instead of providing people with care when they are fully qualified to do so. There’s absolutely no good reason for this.
Ken was deprioritized from search weeks ago. Also he wasn't shadow banned - just deprioritized (you have to type his full name to see his result). Can we please stop with the unfounded hyperbole?
You're confusing learning the system and using the unit.

Anyone can use MPH on the road. If it's 60, you go 60. That is using the unit. It's not like the vehicles here sometimes display fathoms per fortnight. I still have no idea how much distance a mile is.

Anyone can go buy a gallon of milk. It's one gallon. There are no stores randomly offering to sell you a cubic yard of milk.

On the other hand, I know how many meters are in a kilometer, how many mm in a meter, etc. How to convert from cubic meters into liters, etc. That is a result of having learned the system.

While I get their reasons, I think it's disgusting that someone is running critical infrastructure out of what amounts to a centralised (single point of failure) consumer communications app being run by a social media. Something like this should only ever be a stopgap measure until proper, dedicated, supported infrastructure is put in place.

What's most entertaining about you blaming Republicans for a low birth rates is that Republicans have far more kids than democrats: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/republicans-more-kids-democr...

It goes to show that political tribalism trumps just about everything these days, including truth, objective facts, and the obvious.

It should also be obvious that just about every single leftist movement is destabilizing towards both the family as a unit and society in general, which, as you can guess, results in people having fewer kids. But don't let your tribalism get in the way of that either.

Chuck Schumer recently said that the solution to our population problem is to essentially encourage more illegal immigration. Note that his solution had nothing to do with supporting families. He couldn't do that even if he wanted to, because he would offend his left flank on every attempt.
I suppose that's why butter costs 300% more too? That darn bird flu!
Yet, even if I accept the thrust of your argument here, which I do not, I would still point out that there is a wide gulf between one of your kin keeping watch and a company attempting to promote enough general anxiety in their users to drive them into the profit funnel.
I don’t know whether to be amazed at this agricultural feat that brings cheap, tasty, high-protein meals to the masses of humanity, or sickened by an abomination of nature that turns a living thing into a bio-engineered fast-growing blob. I guess both?
Mostly true for factory farms, though it doesn't have to be that way. My buddy has 20 hens and the coop he built them is like the Taj Mahal. They have a nice big run to play in and in the summer they get lots of fresh plants and veggies.

Insulated, heated, lighting... they seem to be quite happy and the eggs are delicious.
No thanks I get enough updates from Janice on nextdoor about suspicious looking people carrying suspicious looking packages to doorsteps.

I have often joked to my wife that my software career only fuels (no pun intended) my project car habit.
My understanding is that egg farmers need insurance and insurance is only issued if you follow the rules which means packed hen houses. If you want to be more humane, you risk losing your insurance. This is from casual conversations with egg-farming adjacent people.
Well that attitude allowed the UK to convert whilst keeping people largely on side. It shows it's possible.
If you're in an area which used a lot of lead paint in the past, be aware that free range chickens can move that soil lead into their eggs: https://now.tufts.edu/2019/05/29/backyard-chickens-and-risk-...

Seems this kind of invisible contextual factor could dilute studies on "health".
I find this reasoning incredibly hard to believe. My moderate income neighborhood with lots of people who don’t have college degrees has tons of kids. By contrast many of the people I know who have very high incomes don’t have kids.

I think the truth is that being a dual income no kids professional couple is a pretty fun life and lots of people don’t want to sacrifice that by raising kids.
Not answering the OP but instead sharing what I am having to do to accommodate others while learning a thing or two through that accommodation. Some here may recall the significant NASA failure where imperial and metric were mixed leading to a costly outcome(1) and that is what I want to avoid. While I am not launching rockets I do require extremely accurate calculations for my objectives. As an American, born and raised, the U.S. way is baked into everything that I do; however now that I am engineering a global hardware based solution that sees neither race, nationality, or creed all my engineering calculations are presented in metric in the final “pitch”. As an American I have done all my "internal thinking" using what I know but to reach a broader market for my potential global audience my documentation carries the reader, should they be Imperial based, through the metric conversions for those with the mathematical interest. My past experiences have guided me to spend the time now for this activity as a function of explicit documentation presenting the engineering and this is time very well spent since explicit written calculations with variables and constants clearly labeled leave much 'less' room for error when assumptions are eliminated, regardless of your unit of weights and measure.

I think when they said "Anything out of the bounds 0-100 is extreme and to be avoided" they meant in regard to Farenheit.
Yes. I'm not sure about GP's point that it never would have survived under the old model either. It's a pretty common trope in Wuxia, one of the oldest genres of literature still active today.
These specific founder types are so painfully unaware. I’m sure it’s the same idiot who put out a push notification with a $30K bounty on the wrong guy.
The most important thing would be to find some kind of community. Find a cause that I could engage with together with others. Be that non profit or for profit, doesn’t matter.
this was done well in https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/210195-the-playlist about the history of spotify from different people's perspective. The same scenes are repeated in each episode with very subtle different changes in dialog depending on who is remembering the details.
For anyone who cares little about that distinction, those two products are basically the same thing. In economic terms, they are substitutes.
Alabama. I had one instructor in a school who informed that while he would accept US units on an exam he said that "he always graded those last, was very tired by that point and not at all forgiving"
just make sure you have a good lock on your coop and the bottom is closed off (aka not just a frame sitting on the bare ground). raccoons are very good at getting into coops.
50000 in Portland OR

38,452 after income taxes -- https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes#lKNhcjybn7

1108/mo -- 225k home @ 6.25% w/ 50k down - https://www.mortgagecalculatorplus.com/

722/mo -- Avg monthly cost of groceries for 3 -- https://mint.intuit.com/blog/food-budgets/monthly-grocery-bu...

so

(39000-(1108 * 12)-(722 * 12))/12 == $1420 a MONTH for your family of 3 to live on, not counting gas, any house bills whatsoever, or any other expense at all. How does this family get around? They have 1 car that someone takes to work leaving the child/parent without transportation during the day? Can this family even afford one single automobile to drive to work?

That's not an "instagram" life - it's not even a functional life. It's inescapable and generationally-indebting poverty.
My friend lived in the apt building in Turtle Bay that caught fire a few months back, and she was one of the first ones out of the building because she saw an alert on the Citizen app. Additionally, the fire alarm system wasn't working properly, and the alarm didn't go off until much later (leading to 38 injuries).
I quit my development job to drive from Alaska to Argentina - an adventure that changed my life. I poked lava with a stick, climbed a 5,897m active volcano, watched kids ride llamas to school, learned Spanish, vastly improved my photography, got into writing (and later published books).

Now it's my life, and I've since driven right around Africa, and right around Australia. I'm saving and planning for then next one now.

Take time to do the things you love, and discover the joy of slowing down to the pace of life that makes you happiest. You really don't need much money to live happily, what you really need is time to do what you want.
I second this, because you will have a goal to work towards and something measurable afterwards. If you are not really inspired, many other suggestions might be harder to really follow through on, so you might end up with having done nothing in the end.

By all means, do relax, but I‘ve often found it hard to do so, when you are sort of required to do something but actually just waiting. I have often found those situations to be more taxing than actually working.

I interviewed in-person for this company early 2019 and they were very rude. The interview was going fine from my perspective, but they decided to cut the interview short and pass on me mid-interview. This is the only time this has ever happened to me over the course of dozens of interviews in my career.

Momentum is the most powerful force known to mankind.

"That's how we've always done it" drives so much of what humans do it's not even funny. Speaking for my own countrymen, we still mint the penny, write checks, wear ties, shake hands, use imperial, speak English, work 40 hours a week, have 2 political parties, tip waitstaff, etc. not because they are objectively the best solutions, but because that's how we've always done it.
This bird flu is not the same as before. Before it was flu from the wild and the strains were quite mild. The current very sickmaking flu started inside farms and escaped into the wild. Millions of farm birds and wild birds are killed by it. Ofcourse, farms get it now from the wild birds, and ofcourse they blame the wild birds :)

This strong flu will not be gone in a while and it speaks for the position that current large scale farming is not sustainable.
Isn't it convenient that we discuss inflation like it only affects us 1 year at a time? All these articles shouldn't be saying 60% they should be saying 5 to 6 times more expensive from before the pandemic.

Definitely get your daily exercise in. Bonus points for a home gym or calisthenics routine since you're somewhat on-call.
In my university they strongly recommended us to have our emails forwarded to an account that would persist
Personally, I would probably try to teach in some capacity. I have this pipe dream of retiring from FT SWE and teaching high school CS sometime in the future.
I think it's mostly cultural.

a) The age when one starts gives a pretty hard limit on the maximum number of children one can achieve; this age has been going up in most places, sometimes significantly so.

b) Female employment rate has also been going up and it also doesn't help. Mixing parenting with full time work outside of the house isn't easy and it's mostly women who tend to feel guilty about the tradeoffs involved. My hypothesis is that this guilt can tamper down the desire to accumulate more of it.

c) Relatedly, it's also far more likely that relatives are also in full time employment and generally very busy, so the amount of practical help parents can get from family is likely less. While professional daycare can compensate for this, it is both expensive (in some countries at least) but also potentially less trustworthy, so parents feel more guilt relying on it.

d) Having even 4 kids one feels like an outlier in our society (heck one even needs a different kind of car). It seems like large parts of society have adapted to a mostly childless lifestyle and fitting in with a larger family can be challenging. There are also plenty of misanthropes running around who have some sick idea that you ruining the world by daring to have so many offspring and are happy to let you know about it. I can't imagine what having 7 children must be like. This is strange, since even talking to older living people, having 4+ siblings seemed very common back then.

So yes, while there are a number of unpleasant economic realities, I personally doubt that they are trump the socio-cultural factors.
Build things that will make the world better but wouldn't get built because the financial incentive is too small or too far in the future.
Hopefully Apple had a MFN clause in their contract.
They even had a dramatized commercial with the founders’ wet dream of some girl getting mugged by her car, triggering the app, and a bunch of men showing up at the coordinates to pummel the mugger and save the girl.

That's a valid critisism. So the issue is bias and not "snitching."

I believe the root of the "not a free market" idea comes from the fact that currently if you are wealthy enough, you can "buy" a politician so that they back up policies that enable subsidies and tax breaks which are convenient for you. Tit-for-tat, like you said.

In a sense, there is actually a free market... but it's the one where you buy and sell politicians. That one conditions the other one, which isn't free. That will happen regardless of who lives in the White House.
I’d find your community nonprofit/mutual aid/… group of choice, and spend 6 months there. whatever i’d leave behind in terms of infra i would design to be self-sufficient: you’re going to find the usual unholy mess of google docs and stuff that you’ll want to clean up, but do it humanely.

otherwise, wire yourself into your neighbors. be up front about your time allotment.

IBM used to do this all the time in the 80s; as a child i don’t think i appreciated what that gave my town but i do now.
Hiking the PCT is absolutely a bucket list item. Sadly, the on-call part means I have to remain local. I'm definitely planing to explore though.
i don't think running an entire web-connected rails app and database for multiple users is less "real dev work" than adding a button to their frontend templates
If it was a temporary situtation like that, I'd probably spend more time practicing my banjo and guitar, and also scanning and archiving the 50 years-worth backlog of film on my shelf.
I had this app installed for a short time. I removed it when it said "shots fired" on an affluent block nearby. It was teenagers playing with firecrackers. As happens in the neighborhood quite regularly.

I couldn't believe it. Uninstalled immediately.

That was years before the "tough on crime" rhetoric/scare/moral panic that's only amplified since then.

Edit: people are replying that the data source is 911 calls, as if that leaves them off the hook. Maybe this is evidence that 911 calls should not be sent unfiltered as push notifications. That is on Citizen.
(author here) Yes I tried reversible debugging a couple years ago, but at the time I didn't have any bugs that needed it :) I managed to get by here without it, but it's a technique I'd like to be more familiar with

I'm on the Undo mailing list as well -- nice to see that it's effective!

> I'm developing a system which uses webapp to interact with device over USB. It works in Chrome. It's sad for me to not support Firefox

As a cautionary tale: the moment Firefox shipped support for a hardware API they immediately ran into sites abusing them. Of course, Chrome doesn't even hide them behind a user prompt. https://twitter.com/denschub/status/1582730985778556931 (and comment)

There are reasons Firefox opposes these standards. Chrome is neither your friend nor does it care for the web. Why are you so willing to give a carte blanche to a power struggle (Chrome/Web vs. Android) inside a web advertising company is beyond me.
And a lot of datacenter CPUs are also on renewables that are helped by the kind of work done with these halo / flagship consumer products. After all, the power efficiency in datacenters is probably more important in aggregate given they're likely going to go into legacy power grids over time as hyper scalers switch generations (oftentimes due to greater power efficiency).

Some of the engine work done for drag racing cars did make its way into consumer cars and it's not like grandma and grandpa are going to be ever running these high end CPUs either.

Power efficiency gains in recent generations have been pretty incredible - somewhere around 95% aggregate performance with half the aggregate power consumption of these processors is really crazy.

and now it's expensive too! Financial outrage > Moral outrage

You're of course welcome to your position, but it's going to drown in this sea that is mostly about the cost. Also, there are many options for both eggs and meat that are absolutely not torture, so you've kind of put yourself at odds right out of the gate.
Don't you think that's on the testers who agreed to test that Roomba and set it up in their building?
Children are a luxury item, like a Gucci handbag, or a non working pet.

A liability, not an asset.

You only have them if you have money to burn and either intrinsically value the luxury or want to signal your social status to your peers.
I’d be in the garage working on my car (big project)
TL;DR (or didn't click): "We’re going to reorganize the company and part ways with around 15% of our teammates"
True, but we had found ways around that premium and still get the same service levels (basically by having dedicated teams to shared resources). Yeah my job was cost optimization type work - we had a few folks on my team dedicated to this.
You will always have to work - you need to feed yourself, clothe yourself, shelter yourself, etc. How you go about doing all of that is what matters. With that in mind, I think you;re asking "What would I do if I didn't have to have a job," which is a more interesting question.

I would find people in my community to band together to help us build and maintain our community - helping maintain each other's home, build new homes for expanding families and new comers, produce as much of our own food as possible, and adopt various technologies to make it all easier on us so we could also enjoy abundant free time for art, play, relationship, and joy.

This could be us now, but too many people sell their lives at a discount to rich narcissists. If we, instead, turn away from those useless assholes and turn, instead, to each other and form cooperative work environments where the work is equally shared - as are the proceeds - we can start building a better, more freer world where you can answer this question in real time for yourself.

I can't agree with you. The CPU will try to boost any time you are doing work, and these models are overclocked to a max at the expense of an insane power consumption overhead. My previous Intel laptop was getting spikes of 50+ watts for things like rendering a website or opening files and I can only imagine how bad it is with current desktop models. If it would be the case that the CPU enters it's maximal turbo once the system has detected that you are doing sustained, demanding work — you would be right, but all of these dynamic overclocking systems are opportunistic. As someone mentioned above, they are designed to win benchmarks.
