Technically, the companies guess the price elasticity of a product. This tells them how a price change influences demand. Then, it’s a simple calculation to choose the right price.

That’s entirely absurd. This is essentially saying there should be a special, perpetual class of government-backed securities with a guaranteed return in excess of all other market performance or conditions. If this was true, everyone would just invest in the special government stocks where you get 10% ROI forever and almost nothing in anything else. At that point, you’d have insane inflation or be better off with a state-run command economy.

In both of your cases, I think there is this massive disconnect in decision making. Software development is a constant game of economic decision making. Which investment returns the greatest value. Agile worked because it spread risk and allowed for reaction to new opportunities.

CICD/devops worked because it drastically reduced the risk & expense of defects, the cost of development, time to market, etc.

But the chasing of new technology fads vs lagging behind with old outdated technologies? I am seeing people make decisions without thinking about the decision.

What economic benefit does the new tech bring? Whats the economic trade off of implementing it vs other projects? How long till a return on investment? Whats the costs if we do nothing?

It isn't even that hard to do, but people just keep deciding to spend time and resources with little to no thought. It infuriates me.

This is an extremely local phenomenon. We have very light touch enforcement in our state yet people do not run red lights or stop signs, because that's a stupid thing to do and a great way to get into an accident.

20% of a liter is $0.25 -- There are cases when you're traveling/camping that you may have used 20% of your 1L can but need to refill it for the next leg of camping.

If I was buying $0.25 of gasoline I'd be slightly weird about it too, at least to acknowledge / show awareness that the situation is indeed strange. Doing it in the same non-plussed manner as I buy $20 of gas would seem more awkward to me than adding in a touch of bashfulness. Adding additional social cues that something is unique about the transaction can also head off clerical errors like processing my request as "oh he clearly meant $25, not 25 cents".

Yep, and regulators demanding even more demand with their policies (eg. ban on ICE cars coming soon, random bans on non-electric heating, cooking, etc.).

edit: sure, downvote, but mandated increased demand without infrastructure first is a recipe for failure.

Yes, of course, but the coordinates in the original scene (before transformation) are typically done in floats.

I also get that this is convenient, but the point is that it is not how a purist would do it.
The implications of this go beyond mere "AI" to the ethics of how we treat data in the information age, but I suspect people aren't going to see the larger implications until they see the "narrow" implications in "AI ethics".
In one of the linked articles it shows one campsite who charged 5 dollars for a reservation but BAH was charging the campsite 6-8 dollars for the reservation. So they raised their prices to cover the more than 100% fee that the campsite had to pay for a service they used to offer for no extra charge to an organization they were forced to enter into by the state. Then BAH won’t disclose anything about the fees and contract so we have a black box of a contract making god knows how much money in a monopoly.

You could say well I don’t know how Ticketmaster absorbing all competitors and becoming a defacto monopoly and charging 30% fees to the buyer and 30% fees to the booker and is rampant corruption since they’re just passing on credit card processing fees.
I snagged a Generac a few years ago, and never looked back; it runs off my gas line and takes zero input from me to work (although you can fiddle with it if you like). That's definitely where anyone with any money at all is going to end up, not just the rich.
Absolutely! I can't recommend backpacking through the parks enough. A petty part of me can get quite smug biking or backpacking past a traffic jam near the entrance haha. Also, the views you get on foot are absolutely marvelous and there's a sense of "earning" your mileage that I find unparalleled. You'll need to be more careful with planning of course (also don't forget things like bear-proofing food and accounting for wind if you're on a bike), and even the best laid plans will fail and you'll end up camping some place you didn't intend on, but it's all part of the journey!

I agree. From my point of view there is definite wrongdoing, and it is not adequately punished. I'm trying to understand the other commentor's point of view as to how the bank was fined if there was no alleged wrongdoing. They had earlier asked "Where is the crime here?"
> 5. Cross-timezone work is fundamentally inhumane. There is no right to one's circadian rhythm but to suggest it's not important is a biological fallacy. However as corporations do not sleep it is inconvenient for their workers to do so. Conference calls from PT to India are common, no one is happy in that arrangement. This could be solved by partitioning work into same or very-similar timezones but that would be a burden to the leadership so it does not occur.

sigh

Yes, yes it is. That's made worse by companies that don't care about that at all, so you end up with meetings at 7AM and 11PM in the same day. It's pretty difficult to compartmentalize when your work has a follow the sun rotation.

> 6. Work outside of working hours is entirely to the company's benefit and your personal detriment.

If you are a 'salaried' employee in the US, the whole concept of 'working hours' is thrown out of the window.

On Slack: it can make an existing problem worse. I do prefer some quick discussions over Slack than being forced to check email threads outside 'working hours' to see if there's anything relevant to me. Or, worse yet, getting actual phone calls. Slack _can_ create entirely new problems, but it's usually just amplifying a bad situation.
I agree, I certainly think manufacturers are to blame as well

Saying that this is regulation / environmentalist caused is only looking at half of the picture.

You could just as easily say that this is caused by greed and the desire for more profits. Wind power is extremely cheap (almost half the cost per megawatt hour compared to fossil fuel). So utilities are actually making more money when they sell their customers wind power. Where is the profit margin going? Not back into the infrastructure, that's for sure.

In every major outage the true cause is utility companies not investing back into making sure that their infrastructure is resilient. That includes resiliency against wind power going offline, such as building battery storage, gravity power storage, etc.
This is another sentiment I could not put into words. I agree 100%. Thank you.
Besides the attempted slap on V coming from "out of left field", in regards to what the above commenter was talking about, V doesn't leak memory like that. V, since becoming beta (last year), uses an optional GC and does flexible memory management[1]. Giving users choices, somewhat like D and Nim do.

It provides 4 choices: default optional GC (that can be turned off), autofree (either alone or with GC), arena allocation (-prealloc), or manual memory management (-gc none). This flexibility has already been proven, like with their Vinix OS project[2].

Lastly, for developing languages going through alpha and beta phases, think that people should acknowledge how the process works and update their information. Rust or Nim, for example, aren't the same language they were 5 years ago or when still in beta.

As for why this one newsletter stuck, I think it's due to Levine's tone and enthusiasm for the material. And also due to how much garbage is out there when you try to find information on financial markets. It's nice to have a clear signal through the noise.

I am not putting anything aside. My employer is. My time is a resource my employer has at his disposal. He pays me and in exchange gets to decide how he wants to allocate my time.

My job includes giving realistic estimates on how long things take to accomplish. When asked to do something that I know cannot be done due to resource and time constraints, I's my duty to tell my employer as much, so he can make a strategic decision.

And in my experience, employers value that input.

"Competitors can only grow so fast, infrastructure takes time to scale, communities take time to organize and build"

Are you using an IT structure from the 1990's? Are you funding it using mail in contributions?

If not the only restriction on how fast a platform can grow is entirely down to how fast it can draw attention and acceptance from the masses.

If I'm being honest here these other platforms are a significantly smaller threat to reddit than reddit is. The way the platform reward low value posts and punish any dissenting opinions in discussion threads does more damage to their brands than any wpuld be competitor.
This works when the competitor goes public and thus can be bought in a hostile way.

Buying out and closing a completely private company is harder (though not impossible, given a right price).

I had missed this point earlier. Thanks for clarifying. This does indeed look like RH has put themselves into a quagmire.
It's tragedy of the commons. A series of events that have happened which has misaligned the market into an unspoken cartel. An opportunity (or temporary need) arose to raise prices and now they don't want to lower them. They are looking over their shoulder and their friendly rivals aren't doing so either.
If all of your competitors are also raising their prices then suddenly it becomes a lot less risky to also raise yours.

When the public perception is an environment of inflation, I think it unintentionally creates cartel power dynamics.

You don't need to collude with your competition on price fixing if the news is telling you that prices are going up for everything.
this is just nonsense.
Ok, i guess I was unclear. By guaranteed work I simply meant that people had the choice still. Not forced slavery, but guaranteed optional work for pay, rather than paychecks for nothing.

I'm thinking national projects like hoover dam and interstate highway systems.
> worker shortage

Are there no workers? Or no money? So a lack of educated people (electricians, electrical engineers) in the country? Or do those people get paid more to flip burgers and do other stuff?
Not OP.

Very personal opinion:

Go is an ugly language and I don't enjoy working in it for that reason alone.

Outside of that, I also don't like the language design for a lot of its features.

Though, admittedly, the goroutines part is not one of those choices I dislike. But the error handling pattern, generics and a few other things are super meh to me.

And everything Go does with networking and concurrency, Elixir does better.

Elixir just doesn't have the backing of a big name like Google so it doesn't have the same popularity.

Same, RHEL says you should be compatible against all minor versions and it doesn't matter if it's 8.5 or 8.6. Upgrades can happen without you noticing, but our software would only run on specific minor versions without investing time and development energy. Several installs I've worked on required an OS rebuild because the version crept into an unsupported minor version.
>> We're reaching breast cancer levels of awareness here. At this point, we're all aware of the issue and are actively voting to invest money in solving the problem. Awareness is no longer the problem.

> I don't see a large chunk of the voter base pretending that breast cancer is a myth invented by the chinese to slow down America.

That's because the breast cancer hasn't led to the same kinds of policy proposals that climate change has. If it did, I'd expect you'd see similar claims of it being a myth, etc.

IMHO, claiming climate change is a myth is just a symptom of democratic opposition to certain climate change policies.
Total ordering. Database guarantees monotonicity.
This kind of comment is also unhelpful because it assumes the conclusion. This chart only shows that both profit and inflation went up. There is no indicator that profit caused inflation.
That can still be ages depending on the maintainer spats.

When I say maintainer spats, I'm referring to shit like how avconv was given undue credence for ages because the split happened right around a Debian release and the packager for ffmpeg on Debian was on the avconv side, which caused a false deprecation notice to be present for quite some time.

And yes, with how quick some software moves, two to three years can very much result in a mess of hacks and patches.

This seems like a dumb headline. Suppose prices were going down because companies are testing prices and finding that volume is better than yield. Would we also get a headline "largest driver of price drops is corporate profits"?
... or stop incorrectly predicting a downfall based on just your own propaganda, not the reality of his tenure?
Example: I used to sell 100 hammers a year for $5 profit per hammer. My supplier says "There is a hammer shortage I can only give you 50 this year". Okay, so I raise the prices to the point that I know hammers are always on the shelf. And everyone else is short on hammers too, so no risk of losing sales.

I'm paying only a fraction more per hammer. Any my revenue is down. But my profit margins are through the roof.

Supply side issues will show up as profits purely as an accounting figment.
Yes. This is a gaslighting piece from gvmnt (as always). Here in south america they blame inflation on natural causes (ie. "rice and beans are 60% more expensive this year because of the dry winter").
Nothing but disinformation.
> One of the things nobody ever mentions is that burnout (by any definition) isn't necessarily bad.

That is completely missing the point of what burnout actually is. Some people take years to recover - good luck starting a new job.

I think what people operating from vauely "austrian premeses" miss is: the pandemic.

We have no model of how a pandemic is going to "correlate" economic markets typically under competition.

Something to note. If you put solar panels on the roof of a building, and plug them directly at 12V or 24V into an appropriate air conditioner (no batteries, inverters etc) the efficiency gains can be startling. Potentially useful for a lot of work places.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323883629_DC_Applia... for example

The match between daytime AC loads in workplaces and the output from solar panels is close enough to work in many areas.
It sounds like that should be allowed. But I think that fulfilling button, stickers and t-shirts orders is pretty expensive, and only makes sense if people give big tips (eg. if someone tips 5€, there's not going to be much left after you pay someone to mail them a sticker).

The exotic materials and construction required for a skyscraper are due to a need for massive strength:weight ratios, and are a separate consideration from sound insulation. A desire to use less material overall (and therefore need to support less weight) will naturally drive a skyscraper to have as little of this material as it can get away with, which means poor sound insulation is the default. Naturally, low buildings will also skimp on sound insulation because nothing's cheaper than nothing, but this is why you need regulation and building codes that take sound insulation into account.
No, it doesn't. It depends on the deficit spending.

Nuclear is great for steady state power demand, but isn't a good match for peaky power demands, like air conditioning demand during heat waves.
When I did my A-Level (UK exams taken at the end of 16-18) Computing exam, this is pretty much along the lines of what they did.

Program source was released a month before the exam, to allow students to familiarise themselves with it, and the exam then gave a series of questions/modifications the students had to make (I think ours was based on a pack of cards, so we had to implement a shuffle algo, and a take x from top of deck, etc).
> Nuclear is the only clean option we have today

We don't have the option of nuclear today; we have the option of nuclear 10-20 years from now. By that time the 1.5°-2° question will already be settled, one way or another.

Meanwhile we also have the option of wind and solar, which come on line ten times faster than nuclear at half the price with far less risk. Seems pretty clear where the investment money will go.
