This is a write up of a working paper, not published yet. Here’s the link to the actual paper:

https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2023/06/23/Eur...

Here’s the abstract:

> We document the importance of import prices and domestic profits as a counterpart to the recent increase in euro area inflation. Through a novel consumption deflator decomposition, we show that import prices account for 40 percent of the average change in the consumption deflator over 2022Q1 – 2023Q1, while domestic profits account for 45 percent. The increase in nominal profits was largest in sectors benefiting from increasing international commodity prices and those exposed to recent supply-demand mismatches. While the results show that firms have passed on more than the nominal cost shock, and have fared relatively better than workers, the limited available data does not point to a widespread increase in markups. Looking ahead, assuming nominal wage growth of around 4.5 percent over 2023-24 – slightly below the level seen in Q1 2023 – and broadly unchanged productivity, a normalization of the profit share to the average level over 2015-19 will be necessary to achieve a convergence of inflation to target over the next two years. Monetary policy will thus need to remain restrictive to anchor expectations and maintain subdued demand such that workers and firms settle on relative price setting that is consistent with disinflation.

…

This is relying on a novel approach that hasn’t been peer reviewed, so we aren’t going to jump to a bunch of conclusions, right?
genuine question, because i am confused about this: how does this work on mailing lists or quotes in messages?

it doesn't make sense to me that reddit has to remove messages when mailinglists don't because they can't. on some systems quotes are implemented as embedded links to the original message, so if the message disappears, the quote disappears. on hackernews quotes are copies that can't be removed.

why should personal rights go so far as to remove your contributions to a public discussion?

shouldn't that be limited to actually removing only the personally identifiable information that is embedded in the messages?
Austria, Switzerland, same rules apply for mountains in Slovak Republic.

The mountains themselves are not expensive. The expensive part happen when you need rescue after your climbing and don't have insurance. The insurance itself is not expensive and is super easy to get.
IIRC there were always small exoduses but the biggest flip happened when a major version update happened and Digg started shilling paid posts at the top of the page. Folks moved over to Reddit en mass and Digg essentially died in a matter of weeks.
Can't judge a culture by its emigrants, especially when you don't speak their native language. The cold/stoic stereotype is especially false.
how do you explain the fact that gazillions were printed for decades without much meaningful inflation? japan being the printiest of them all having had the least inflation of all

crickets huh
I also feel this way about dogs
Universally? No one can say that, but at large, men have been hostile to women in most cultures including most of the modern non-western societies: China, India, Korea, Japan, Middle East, South & Central America, Russia, etc.

There are exceptions, but to pretend that they are relevant to current public health crisis is a red herring at best.
To be honest, the majority of existing areas will probably go bankrupt as densification happens, plunging the value of cookie cutter, match stick homes to be bulldozed and hopefully re-wilded. Most of suburbia is already going bankrupt. The roads, sewers, pipes, and electrical wires are falling apart because they are too expensive to maintain. All it takes is one company to move out or the land to run out before they start to spiral. San Bernardino CA is a good example.

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.
Yeah, likewise. I use the site almost weekly for timed-entry reservations to various trailheads and parks, especially during the Summer and Fall hiking season. Even after adding my national park pass when checking out, which removes the bulk of the reservation fee, there's always a $2 service fee on checkout. It adds up.

Separate frustration: needing a timed-entry permit for everything. It used to be you could wake up, glance at the sky and check the weather and decide where you're going and how far you might want to go. Now you have to hover over the computer days in advance, or refresh at just the right time to book a spot because certain time windows for entry haven't been released on the website yet, and won't be available to book until the day prior at a specific time.

And if the weather is bad on the day, you're probably out of luck for the next few days, and potentially the next week if you didn't think ahead and buy permits for any other days you might want to go.

I gave up on trying to get camping reservations altogether. They were gone within minutes of release.
> All I'm saying is that recreation.gov is totally and absolutely worth it despite these fees, despite the increased costs to the public, because it actually works, vs the chaos that came before it.

> at the cost of minor corruption.

I would hope the government does not adopt "Value Based Pricing," given that we already pay them plenty in taxes. And when we discover corruption, we should kill it.
nRF5x family had been the gold standard for Bluetooth Low Energy gadgets like coin cell powered smartwatches, to the point that both Apple AirTag and its predecessor Tile tracker uses nRF52. But they never had Wi-Fi. Just way too much power consumption for nRF5x.
After the FCC's 2003 Triennial Review, I where they said 'well, fiber is expensive, so we'll override Congress & say fiber is exempt from Section 251, and end Unbundled Network Elememts' (Local Loop Unbundling), it's hard to be excited about stuff like this.

This should be something hopeful & exciting. But instead of a healthy competitive market, we fund exploitative systems.

It's not even a comprehensive rollout. These stagnant providers receive a ton of money then just fail to roll out. New York for example is back in court over just this, but whether anything ever improves is uncertain.
The curious case of user interfaces (conference talk, video)
Yes, it's the "most popular" routes/campsites/activities that are the most impacted, but "most popular" is a moving target. A lot of our public lands become victims of their own successes, especially in the age of Instagram and TikTok.

Decades past, nobody but the most adventurous would visit these places and reservations were never an issue. Then, with increased visibility/awareness (starting from things like the American Automobile Association magazines, to TripAdvisor, to these days TikTok and Alltrails) visitation kept going up and up and up and up and the lands and agencies couldn't keep up.

This is especially the case with our major parks (Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion) but even smaller places can become an issue with enough social media exposure:

Horseshoe Bend in Arizona: https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/instagram-tourism-booms-hor...

Or Muir Woods just outside of San Francisco: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Wildly-popular-Muir-W...

So places have to try different strategies, including but not limited to lotteries, park-and-ride shuttles, timed reservations, rotating closures, etc. to both enable access but also protect the very resources that people are flocking to see.

It's not just a top-down effort either. There are grassroots NGOs dedicated to trying to balance visitation vs preservation, like Leave No Trace (https://lnt.org/) and the Access Fund (https://www.accessfund.org/).

It's a hard problem all around... you want people to be able to easily enjoy the lands that their tax dollars pay for, but when there are TOO many people (and tourists, both domestic and international)... it gets crazy.
I have a friend who strongly gravitates towards non-traditional solutions for every health & medical problem.

Upon hearing that I had developed cancer, she whipped up a batch of turmeric-infused notions and potions for me, which I appreciate. I haven't touched them yet. Maybe I'll get them tested first; the last thing I need right now is lead poisoning!
Thanks for the spoiler. :(

>it could also be completely innocent and the person just wanted to work from home

That isn’t completely innocent. If this were a case where they accidentally brought classified home, that is “innocent” and being careless. Intentionally removing it to “work from home” is intentionally and knowingly stealing classified information, regardless of what you plan to do with it. This type sentence is in line with knowingly taking classified material [1][2], as opposed to accidentally removing it, or unknowingly hainv it in your possession (like if you are emailed classified information).

Oh yeah, that's 100% true, but take a look at the way they train each other.
I'd argue that there always must be something else at play in addition to greed. Greed is a given and the driver of the economy. Companies don't suddenly decide that maybe they should increase profits. So it's imperative to understand why they were able to increase profit margins without competition taking their market share. IMO that tells us what intervention is needed. The ideal market is companies at a constant knife fight with each other.
But that just replaces one word with another while keeping the same issues. Do you really think the average man is going to hear "adverse masculinity" and not react the same way they do for "toxic masculinity"? Because if they believe toxic masculinity means all masculinity is toxic, I don't see how they'd think different about all masculinity being adverse.
The price of everything on recreation.gov is already so cheap, honestly I don't care about their fees. It's like, ten bucks in fees for staying a night somewhere in the San Francisco area. Far, far lower than Airbnb fees.

The problem that most bugs me is how often reservations for popular campsites fill up the moment they become available. And then when you go camping, there are often empty sites. It's so cheap to reserve campsites, and you have to do it so far in advance, people reserve campsites they aren't sure they want, cancel their plans later, and don't even bother to inform the campgrounds.
I think the pandemic has played an extremely important role in the public's perception of inflation.

During the start of the pandemic, there were legitimate supply chain shortages that resulted that resulted in increased prices without increased profits.

Supply chain issues are mostly fixed, but companies road that public perception for a long time to justify price increases.
"large chunk of the voter base"

I'm not sure how large it is...loud, maybe...
There's a whole sub-discipline in UX that talks about the difference between looking at the available information and making the wrong choice, versus making the correct choice but then performing the wrong action anyway. One is a failure of cognition, the other is a failure of the motor cortex.

It's reaching for the green button and hitting the red one instead. It's driving to the store near your office and ending up driving to your office instead. It's forgetting to drop your kid off at daycare.
You can still interface with 5 volts using a level shifter. Which is exactly what this board uses so the 3.3V ESP32 can talk to the 5V Renesas chip.
There's often a daily park admission fee you pay at the gate. Per person or per car, it varies. Sometimes included with a camping reservation, sometimes not.
Ah, maybe that's what it is.. Though I still don't know what the difference would be.
I wonder what would happen if everyone in the production chain had a profit margin of 45%
Nah. The thought is that you gain back the commute time and you can meet up with friends, family, and attend cultural events. You needn't confine all of your human interaction to the workplace.
> Our advantages in a hostile environmental come from building tools not physical strength. If physical strength was important a male human would not be 5 times weaker than a gorilla.

Have you ever made a tool with your hands? Physical strength--especially grip strength--not just dexterity, is required for tool making. There are no vices or pliers in the Wild.

Men have a huge advantage in grip strength, and hence tool making. This study[1] suggests that elite female athletes in athletic disciplines that require grip strength only rank in the 25th percentile of grip strength when compared to men as a population.
You pretty much summarized what I've been thinking about for the past couple years.

Question is, what can we do about it? Thats where I really start to feel powerless, the challenge seems insurmountable.

"Our team's lies are good, the other team's lies are bad."
Huh? Wouldn’t you want to reinvest in a real asset like a business instead of holding cash that inflates away?
Right, how does it make sense to blame the private sector for rapid inflation when it's the government and central banks that control the minting of currency?

I get that corporations are evil and greedy, but inflation is not something corporations have influence over. If anything, we should be looking at banks, yet even banks count on the central bank to print them fresh bills.
> I mean, honestly, people who created YAML probably saw it as an inconsequential, sketchy project that should take maybe a weekend or two. They didn't plan for this format to be the best... they just made something... that sort of did something... but not really. I have no idea why something like this received the acclaim that it did.

One of the co-creators responded [1] to an article [2] about how Yaml is “not that great” on this site.

It comes off to me as, well we did it for free and people use it so I’m happy abuot it.

No they don't. You can run anything you like on them.
Yeah that was my thought. Renesas Isn't a big player in the uc market at all. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using their parts.
There is nothing confusing here. This is Renesas desperately trying to be relevant, wasting on organizational overheads, and half-measuring as they always do.
I’m definitely saving this page for later. It’s such a nightmare trying to debug issues on iOS. Even just having a JS console on the page is invaluable. In the past, I’ve just used the (expensive) virtualization stuff since I don’t own a Mac when writing web stuff to use on my iPhone. Last year, the File System Access API showed as available on iOS even though the origin private (useless) FS was the only portion available.

Rant: the origin private FS is basically pointless and I believe it was only added to the spec so Mozilla and Apple could claim to support the file system access API. It would maybe be useful if Apple didn’t insist on clearing everything out after SEVEN DAYS. How the fuck is seven days persistent? I have apps that are open (in the background)for longer than that.
As an ABCD, likewise. My mom told me to specifically buy turmeric at western grocery stores (as opposed to other spices, which could be had for better prices at Indian grocery stores) because of concerns around lead.
As someone who participates in these lotteries, the lack of transparency is the biggest issue. If there's a way to view estimated odds I have not seen it.

Additionally, these lotteries usually have a second level of rules that impact your odds. For example, day of week or starting trailhead. I would gladly shift dates / routes and apply for different lotteries, but I have little basis to make those decisions on.
> And this permits companies to increase prices, and produce higher profits.

It's worth noting that this mostly reflects short-term pricing power. It takes a lot of time for new competitors to enter any industry. So we should expect these price increases to occur rarely and be somewhat time-limited as competition ultimately reestablishes itself.
A lot of economics seems to me like the “perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum” jokes you hear about physics. There’s no concept of friction or activation energy. “The market” simply adjusts in real time without human interaction.

In the real world someone needs to pitch a price increase. There’s risk that sales and profits might drop. That’s bad for the company and that persons career. When everyone else is raising prices and your costs are going up then that risk:reward ratio looks different.

My company was seeing increased material costs, they raised prices to cover that and then some. Sales are down but profits went up slightly. I was in the meetings where this was discussed yet people will tell me it doesn’t happen.

This very point makes the entire thing so ridiculous I'm not convinced this isn't the setup to outright fraud. Like a failing storeowner who starts making customers with children traverse the artisanal glasscraft section to get to the toy section. "Oopsies! You owe me $1M."

I can't say this is about money (it's a university), but suspect maybe this project was doomed anyway and now its coordinator is staging sabotage to save face.

The only thing that gives me pause is the thought that it's a little weird the cleaner was messing with the circuit breakers at all. The explanation offered makes little sense.

No way this will breed resentment and be something concrete that can be pointed to to radicalize people.
Nice, must have been really painful at times.. btw. I just noticed that when I zoom in Safari I get a pixel wise zoom and then, just a brief moment later, the fonts are re-rendered sharply. And this is I think the fastest laptop they sell maxed out in specs. So still there are optimisations in place to make text appear smoothly.
Fixing bad infrastructure takes time, but you don't even need that to reduce pedestrian deaths. If only people had smaller vehicles the rate of survival would go way up.

I could pretty easily imagine a sliding vehicle tax scale where safer, more practical sub-compacts and minivans are subsidized by the mega-lifted land yacht SUVs and pickups. Sure it doesn't fix the design problems of cities, but it at least means the vehicles that are traversing them aren't as likely to kill and maim people while we sort out the other problems.
The _POINT_ of computers and websites is to lower the individual transactional costs of things like applying for a lottery. Rather than having to pick up the phone and speak to a person, or drive to the local office and fill out paperwork.

Yet somehow, the person in the toll booth option has regularly been the cheaper option than paying these immense fee's to obviously corrupt government contractors.

How many web site designers and colocated machines does it take to run a freaking reservation system that probably gets a couple million reservations a day.

Plus, if done correctly a large initial investment and then a trivial amount of work to keep it running, where the vast majority of the work is the local parks/etc changing the state of campground availability/etc.

Put another way, everyone wants to be the credit card companies that have successfully gotten massively rich on a system where they are taking a percentage of the total transactional value rather than a trivial flat per transaction fee. And this model doesn't belong anywhere near public systems because those public lands exist for the "public", the majority of which can barely afford the gas to get to the park, much less funneling more of their meager resources to a fat cat government contractor.

$6 is close to an hours work for someone making minimum wage.
