It isn’t really useful to compare the Soviet Union in it’s final 1-2 years of total crisis to the USA. You see videos of empty supermarkets, lines and many other problems. But this certainly is not an accurate depiction of normal life during most of the Soviet period. The 70s and early 80s did not have a lot of the problems that arose in 1989.
What’s the true value of crypto? It lays bare the lies of libertarians
I recently saw someone on StackOverflow asking for something similar: access, from the condition-action body, to the text which matched the regex.

So I added a feature to the TXR Lisp awk macro. There is now an Awk variable called res which holds the result of the condition. If the condition is a regex, then that has the matching part. The fact that the action is executing tells us that the result of the condition is true; but res gives us the specific true value, like the it in anaphoric if macros.

This made it into release 284.
That would be true if reviews weren't fake themselves. And just like fake products, Amazon has no incentive to fight fake reviews either. To Amazon, these aren't "scams", they're good business.
Some of them are "sponsored", so Amazon is being paid to list them first.

The last time I saw one of these drives for sale on Amazon.de, I scrolled down to the review section and the review photos section was full of photos of oil paintings.

I'm in sort of a need for a microSD card and Amazon.de has some viable brand-name options, but I'm still hesitant to buy any from there since it's so hard to know what on Amazon is real and what isn't.
Because the internet is the wild west. Unless you're making powerful politicians look bad.

Then, suddenly, shutting you down is a simple matter.
Maybe it was harsh. However I think it makes the Chinese people look bad, where they aren't really to blame. The CCP keeps labor prices low, and we exploit it, and then we sit here and complain the stuff they make is junk.

My granddad is going thru all of the confusion and worry that comes with dementia.

There’s some light web admin where family members can log in and add new photos, maybe with a little description that would appear on screen. Ye olde CRUD web app.

It’s a bit half baked, but there’s something!
Though 1899 was really a genuinely bad series. I think if someone summarized the plot you would think it's a meme on r/iam14andthisisdeep

Netflix might be doing weird stuff but 1899 is a really bad example because the mistake there was actually greenlighting the first season.

US dollars don't have to be held by US entities. There are US dollars held on balance sheets around the world by non-US entities. During the cold war, the Soviet Union held USD in non-US accounts.

Countries don't ask for US dollars in order to trade. Although it is common for some goods to be priced in US dollars, companies (rather than countries) will price and trade in whatever currency suits them, often with assistance from banks providing foreign exchange services. The banks don't need to be US banks, and goods priced in USD do not need to be paid for in USD if you go through an intermediary, which is common practice.

That's actually not what it shows. It shows that the free market focused development model which was popular across the entire rest of the world did not, in aggregate, reduce abject poverty.

> It’s pretty clear even “state capitalism” leads to wealth and the elimination of abject poverty.

What even is the difference between such heavy state capitalism and socialism? Socialist economies existed with various level of market involvement and economic freedom, see Lenin's NEP - was the USSR initially a champion of free market reform?
The Tsar was a shorthand for how undeveloped Russia was.
> I have the (maybe romantic) theory, that attractivness is no universal scale, but a sign of individual fitting (filtered out deep inside, mainly via biochemical processing aka smell). Meaning a person you fell in love on first sight, is probably a good match.

This seems like it must be at least partly true, but it's probably a complicated mix.

We are genetically programmed (via evolution) to find certain things attractive. This could easily mean that somewhere in that genetic programming something "knows" that offspring with that person would do well (or it could mean that the genetic programming is broken because it was trained in a different environment than currently exists--we now have a larger pool of potential mates than previous generations did, for instance).

There's also the possibility of green-beard type effects (eg a gene causes a perceptable trait and also a propensity to be attracted to that trait). That would mean that there's no real benefit to the organism to mating with someone attractive for that reason, there's only benefit to the gene that causes that.

But yeah, if I were hypothetically looking for someone to procreate with, I'd certainly look for someone who looks and smells attractive to me (though that's also just going to make the process more fun).

A lot of attractiveness is societal as well though, of course. We base what's attractive on what we see others attracted to, and on what we're sold. A lot of that is visual, so if you really want to trust your genes, smell might be the way to go.

A bit more plausibly near future, but there was a story about how NASA was testing a method to cast perfect lenses from little more than a mold and a liquid material. If successful, a spacecraft could unfold a frame, release the lens mirror material, and create a surface tens of meters in diameter, all constructed in space. Undoubtedly significant engineering hurdles, but it could result in an order of magnitude improvement in telescope resolution for cheap.

>Can I just throw more money at the problem so that I'm less stressed and offload more decisions to the builders?

Yes you can. It requires two things:

1) you need to hire a builder who has experience with commercial and/or industrial construction. Hire the same type of builder that you wanted to build a small dental clinic. Tell them explicitly that you want everything to build built with the same standards as their commercial clients. Even if they are well intentioned, you don't want to be the beta tester for a builder trying to expand in a new type of construction. Most of the work will also be done by subcontractors, so you want to hire someone with a list of contacts filled with companies who typically do high quality work for highly demanding client.

2) Hire a structural engineer and architect to check their work. If you can only hire one, the engineer is more important, a shitty finish material or bad interior lightning is easier to fix than a cracked foundation. The engineer needs to be on site to check the work at the critical moments to make sure it's done right (eg. before pouring concrete). He needs to have the authority to stop work if it's bad and/or force them to redo it. they also need to approve the plans and the product that will be installed. It is common practice in government contracts that the builder has to submit for approval the spec sheet for most of the products that they want to install.

Basically, you want to follow the same procedure a large city would use but skip some of the red tape that don't apply to you.

The contract is very important, I would recommend copying it from whatever is the most used one in your region for public work. It's probably gonna be a >200 page monster but it will cover every single situation you could possibly imagine and provide a fair way to resolve the situation.
While I don't have an installation around me now, I am sure I could do that in CodeLLDB/VSCode.
But is that a good long-term strategy to make money?

After being bitten by crap products (one of which literally broke in 5 minutes), I don't buy electronics in Amazon anymore. They would get more money from me if they hadn't turned into a flea market of bad products.
What I was getting at is that IMO you failed to boil down the essence of the proposal to a length that could be called 'elevator pitch'. By the time you start preaching the essence, everybody's arrived at their floor already.
On that note, why are we trying to use language specific packaging tools to build packages rather than just building OS specific packages where dependencies are handled by apt for deb packages or dnf for rpm packages?

These are language agnostic and can get the job done.
Just trying to brainstorm some options.

I would not be surprised that marketplaces and other two sided business models try to generate enough "pump priming" fake chats etc. Similar to PayPal faking ebay users or reddit having puppet accounts - chatgpt could be used to generate convincing activity on a community.

I wonder how much of the "Nigerian style scams" can be automated - that seems a bit more delicate (it would of course be "hilarious" if the one thing AI cannot convincingly do is con-artistry)

Carbon team is the first one to assert that Carbon is for Google internal purposes, or anyone that eventually shares their point of view regarding C++, everyone else should go with Rust or any other safer alternatives.

They also admit it is an experiment that might fail, and they will go back writing C++ on the codebases that they fail to migrate.

So it is kind of strage that people hype it for stuff the authors never planned for.
> The 70s and early 80s did not have a lot of the problems that arose in 1989.

In late 1980s the systemic problem became a problem everywhere. However, food stamps were already a thing in some regions in mid-1970s.

And the "sausage trains" were a well-known phenomenon since at least early 70s. This was a term for the trains that people would take to buy stuff in larger cities like Moscow that didn't exist in smaller cities like Ryazan or Tver.

So yeah I recognize that insidiousness you describe.
What's the right UX for an expired certificate?
For those of you who don't have family who escaped from Cold War era Eastern European communism, you should have the added context that this is actually a pretty commonly shared experience—and even something of a trope. My mom and grandparents upon going to a Canadian supermarket for the first time after escaping from communist Czechoslovakia in the late 1960s couldn't believe it. They were used to stores that only sold a few products and eating oranges once a year at Christmas. Of course conditions varied within different eastern bloc countries and even at a local level, but the general thrust of the theme is recurrent.
Hard to see how this meshes with published evidence about the role and importance of environmental and lifestyle factors in stress, well-being and burnout.

If anything, getting older is strongly moving me away from your mindset. To the extent that well-being is intrinsic it seems to be more about the causal relationship to environmental factors. Some people are better at managing workload, setting boundaries, avoiding stressful situations and finding a "scene" that fits their values and abilities. I've seen these people do very well.

There are plenty of people out there ready to tell you that happiness and well-being are all about attitude. But when I look at the people in my own life who have said this none of them have been particularly happy or seem to have figured things out for themselves. And it's no coincidence that some of the strongest advocates for "individual responsibility for happiness" are bad bosses and abusive spouses who have a vested interest in keeping people in bad environments.

I really want to say that all the low hanging fruit has been picked, but in truth, new fruit pop up all the time, waiting to be discovered.
New problems pop up, which are waiting to even be identified before solutions can be thought of.
New technologies pop up, which are waiting to be connected to existing problems, either solving them for the first time, or replacing a previous solution.

To be honest, I don't know how many of these projects I've thought over in my head, only to find that they either require too much time, or have already been solved.

I think satvikpendem is right, start to work on literally anything, and try to notice problems you encounter along the way, maybe a neat little project hides there..

My suggestion for "literally anything" would be some low-effort creative project, like starting to take a picture every day, or write a sentence of prose, or listen to a song you've never heard before.. And do _anything_ with the output, either put it out in the world, or keep it to yourself.. Your project may come from trying to manage it all..

My current project is a backup solution that suits me, that's build on top of zfs, it's mostly bash scripts, it might never be public.

Amazon is making more money than the entire economy of most countries. Their long term plan, like other tech giants, will be to become a sovereign entity. In some ways, they already are. Then they can effectively outlaw the competition, so outcompeting them won't matter anymore.
Your local police officer isn't going to march to Seattle and confront Jeff Bezos or Andy Jassy. But neither is my prime minister going to care at all about a breach of the trades description act.

So Amazon operates in this space in the middle with almost zero enforcement.

The only real opportunity for recourse we have is to moan on social media, and hope we discourage future sales enough to make a dent in their profits.

In my market (smaller western us city), there are roughly 730 detached single family homes in the market. Only 25 are less than 1000 sq feet and none of those were built in the last 40 years.

It’s not that there aren’t any options that size, I happily spend the first decade of my adult life in residences that size, but dwellings that size are almost exclusively condos/apartments in the US. Others have noted some good reasons for that.
I think I can sympathise, it's hard to keep up with all the development in PL, so it's easy to convince yourself that all those new inventions are stupid anyway and you don't need them, you'll do it your way.

And then, slowly over a couple of decades, other people will be making it their life's work to add in the things that you thought were stupid because inevitably the need for them surfaces.
The law, which applies to everyone except companies like Amazon for some reason.
Amazon's very first stated leadership principle is Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers.

This, and the myriad of other stories about Amazon, leave me scratching my head. They aggressively filter candidates based on questions designed around these principals. Either they're completely failing on a cultural front, or the values and their hiring process are a weird in-joke.
China is capitalist, they just aren't democratic. They kept the authoritarian regime with sham elections from their communism days but changed everything else into capitalist systems, they are as capitalist as a typical western country today.

It’s a bit like saying I don’t have access to keys in my Yubikey. Sure, but I can decrypt data with those keys.

If I’m right, S3 sends encrypted data encryption keys to KMS, and KMS sends back the decrypted data encryption keys. So, although S3 has no access to the master key, it has access to the data keys in RAM for the customer to use. With a “bucket key,” it goes further storing those type of keys in disk.
Apple is making changes to allow using Yubikeys and other FIDO keys to secure your account. There is now also a recovery code mechanism that disables the grossly insecure phone-based recovery mechanism.
