> For a contact in an email adress book, that makes sense. But for a "friend" relationship in Facebook, which side owns that edge?

I don't see where there's any ambiguity on this issue. Each individual has the right to not be subjected to spying and monitoring, which includes collecting personal and private information. A social graph is not a data dump where you are a mere drop in the ocean. A social graph is an ocean of personal and private data collected from you. Therefore, it's quite obvious that individuals have the right to not have all this ocean of personal and private data collected on them, specially without their explicit and informed consent, and they should have the right to force anyone to delete this info, both all or subsets, automatically and reliable and verifiably.

Just because I don't mind hearing what my aunt has to say about what she baked or who she chatted with, that does not grant you the right to get my credit score or where I went to highschool with or who I met years ago or where I lived, just because third parties and other edge nodes in a social graph posted that information and data that enabled you to piece it together. What is there to be discussed?

> so the notification will let me know there's a conversation happening but I won't be pestered into participating

I really wish more (any?) chat programs let you know some kind of conversation was happening, but wasn't pinging you every single message. Something like every X hour(s) there's a notification that says "X messages have been received," or when a chat has been idle for an extended period of time, then after X time the first new message comes in I receive a notification for only that first message.

As is, 90% of my chat apps have notifications completely disabled, and I have to manually go in to see if anything has happened.

It's easy to find dozens of sources about the strategic importance of Kherson, which is also evident from a glance at a map, and Kherson is also ten times larger than Bakhmut, so this doesn't really respond to my question. Without any expertise in war, or the region, I can still say that it looks like your arguments say that when Ukraine loses territory, it's a strategic disaster, but when Russia loses territory, it never meant to have that territory. If I can defend that argument, weak as my grasp on this subject is, your own position might be pretty flimsy.
> You also seem to lack a rational, data-backed argument

Russell's Teapot. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot)

Its the ZIRP doomers who have to prove a problem. Not for me to prove a lack of a problem.

Based on what I've read over the years, things like Fed Meeting notes do a much better job at predicting the economy / future than reading up on ZeroHedge conspiracy theorist sites and worrying about ZIRP in 2012.

------------

As far as my "data" goes, I just point back to QE1, QE2, and QE3. The Zero-Hedge Doomers were all saying that inflation would get out of hand. Then... it didn't. QED. This doomerism is _NOT NEW_. I've been hearing it for years. Its the boy-who-cried-wolf situation.

They're still around pretending that all these decisions 10+ years ago caused things today. When the Occam's Razor argument is COVID19 changed things. So its up to the Zero-Hedge doomers to explain why their predictions over the past decade took over a decade to come into being. And if they knew it'd take a decade (or longer) for it to happen, why did it coincide with COVID19 so much (as opposed to any other situation).

As far as my opinion goes, I'm making it clear. The boy cried wolf for 10 years, and is pretending his first call for crying wolf in 2008 was relevant to the 2023 bout of inflation. As opposed to... I dunno... the Baby Boomers retiring a few years early because they're tired of dealing with COVID19 (and/or COVID19 restrictions), causing a huge slump in the number of workers in the US Economy. The likes of which we're only beginning to recover from in the past month or so.

With fewer workers, we're having fewer products made. Compounded with the War in Ukraine (a location that supplies a huge amount of grain to the world) and Avian Bird Flu, we're in a time period where we're losing resources (and productivity) due to a lack of workers. Lower supply causes higher prices. Also coinciding with the emergency slaughter of pigs/birds in 2021 as a COVID19 prevention measure (as well as due to severe economic contractions), our animal stocks are lower than otherwise. Leading to higher food prices.

You know. Data that we have that explains these situations with a bit more clarity than 10+ year old predictions of ZIRP or QE3 from the year 2012.

----------

Or maybe this "Greedflation" idea, being discussed in the article. Maybe its got legs to stand on too. I dunno, its interesting to think about at least. But its tiring to have every economic argument derailed by the ZeroHedge conspiracy theorists posting their favorite anti-QE hate all the time.

There's a much richer set of economic arguments that exists out there than ZIRP doomerism all the time, every day, ever year.

I'm sure that we have a basic disagreement here, but I think it's a bad thing to charge insane profit margins. It's called price gouging. Whether or not customers pay it isn't really relevant to that assessment.

> Are the customers idiots who can't be trusted how to allocate their money?

Of course not. But you seem to be assuming that the only reasons people might pay absurd prices for something is because there is no competition or they're stupid. I don't think that's the case. There are a lot of other circumstances where people have little choice but to pay crazy high prices for things.

Personally, I regard this as an ethical thing. I think that it's not ethical to overcharge for stuff. I set prices by determining the cost to produce the thing and adding a reasonable profit margin to that, because I couldn't sleep at night doing it any other way.

As long as international companies have the option to exclude any local government, they can simply vote by participation. Texas requires something that a Swiss social network cannot abide? Block Texas.

This doesn't work when a law doesn't allow some foreign company to escape, though. Suppose Texas decides that toy makers are liable for toys that hurt children. A Swiss company that makes army knives for kids decides not to sell to Texas, but other people buy some and then resell them in Texas. If the original manufacturer can't avoid the local government, that's more complicated.

Putin had been successful in getting NATO to reject MAPs for Ukraine and Georgia before invading either (just before, in Georgia’s case), and that rejection had caused Ukraine to abandon NATO membership as a goal before Putin launched the war in 2014.

Once it was at war with Russia, Ukraine changed its mind again and decided it needed to pursue NATO membership as a goal, for some reason. Putin’s war is literally the reason Ukraine has an intent to join NATO, not a response to that intent.
Vendor says they can't make profit. Wall-of-texter on HN says they can.. So hard to know who to believe..
This seems like a weak argument since compromise may be more difficult, but it certainly isn't impossible when conversations are transparent. Eventually the "losers" of a compromise are going to learn about how their elected officials voted and what the impact of that vote will be for them, and they'll hold their elected officials accountable for it regardless.

It just isn't worth forcing every person to give up the ability to protect themselves by recording their everyday conversations just so that politicians can lie to the public and their donors while screwing over the people behind closed doors.

Do we have to "All Xs Matter" every argument? I don't read this article as making a strong claim that greedflation is the ONLY cause, just that is now being taken seriously when it was derided before. If you want an article that argues against greedflation and discusses other potential causes, you don't have to read more than three sentences before the author links you to it! The piece ends with the Chair of the Fed (i.e. a policymaker) denying profits are even "a cause" of inflation!

> I believe the same happens in the US, one state such as California will make progressive law changes that force companies to just apply the same standards across other states as it's less legal and regulatory burden, so effectively one state can actually change the system for everyone, no global super government required.

I almost bought a car from Carvana. They had all my info: driver's license images, SSN, etc. At the last minute they required a DocuSign signature, which I told them upfront I wouldn't use, so I canceled the deal.

Afterward, I told them I wanted all of my info deleted since we didn't do a transaction. They said they could only do that for CA residents. A CA law is not going to cause companies to follow that law for all US citizens if it's to the company's advantage not to follow it.

Knuth writes people checks for reporting bugs in his software or errors in his books, including at least one $327.68 check for a TeX bug. According to Wikipedia, he has written over $20,000 in checks. (Relatively few of these are ever cashed.)

Knuth's standard of "authentic and trustworthy" is set remarkably high.
Maintaining an internal everything-builder at my company, which sets the baseline for the a small set of monorepos:

projects/xyz/ # per-project folder
configs # per-project configuration files
scripts
tools
patches # per-project selection of patches to be applied to 3rd party imports
... # but no per-project code
target/ # anything that becomes part of the build target
library-a # Some library
tests # Unit tests for that library
library-b
binary-c
binary-d
host/ # anything required to build the build target or perform other tasks, such as tests
patches # patches to be applied to 3rd party imports
tests/ # system and integration tests
test-aspect-a
test-aspect-b
web/ # client-side stuff, like javascript
spa-a
library-f
... # and a few more domain-specific things that don't really fit well in the categories above

Ultimately, I'm unhappy about the split between many of the top-level items and I'm working on resolving that. It has turned out to be mostly superficial? Items that are required to go into the application (i.e. are located in the target path) sometimes turns out to be required for building, i.e. in the host, too. This all leads to odd definitions inside each item for the project-builder. Everything that has already gone into the "flat" target folder, however, is quite happy there, though it is sometimes off-putting to new colleagues. Ultimately, it's easy to review which parts are included where by reviewing the project configuration files and this is also the main focus when merging, upgrading dependencies or doing repo-wide refactoring.

Its a question of intent. If I'm going out and getting offers but I'm not really wanting to find another job, I just want the offers to give me leverage in negotiations, that's a bad thing. Even ignoring ethical considerations, in the medium-to-long term it will damage your reputation and reduce your prospects. If nothing else, it's just unprofessional.

If I'm looking for another position for real, and mention it to my employer, that's fine.

> I really love working with you and I prefer to stay here but they gave me the offer that is hard to reject.

I've had people come to me twice with that sort of message. I assumed that they were earnestly looking. For both of them, I told them that they should take the offer. If they were so unhappy working for me that they went to all the trouble to look for another job, and the money alone is enough to sway them, then matching the other offer is not likely to improve their job satisfaction with me. They should go where they're happier.

As a former manager at a big corporate, I just wanted to point out that the budget available to managers to make counteroffers is often very different to the budget available for ad hoc or periodic raises based on performance. This is especially true if you are willing and able to show the offer letter to prove it's real.

I've leveraged an offer to get my compensation increased several times, without having to actually leave, and it did nothing to harm my standing with my employer. If anything, my immediate management respected me more for "playing the system" to my advantage.

Finally do make sure you question any "wisdom" that taking the counteroffer is a bad idea is coming from. It is often repeated by recruiters, but clearly this is for self-serving reasons, so beware of that.

Then you wouldn't exist. Even the smallest business goes through years of losses before it (hopefully) reaches profitability. Pay to sell is the only way nearly 100% of incumbents have to simply exist. If they don't do it, someone else will

Traditionally, businesses build a reputation and customers learn where to find them (a physical location). They then become and stay profitable. Anyone depending on a monopolist for its pay-to-sell strategy won't usually reach profitability. The monopolist might be as small as a greedy feudal lord in the middle ages.

A lot of people find moral value in a meritocracy. This "success to the successful" shows the limits.

If that is true, is it morally fair? What would be fair? Do we even care about fairness?
