> Somehow obviously arriving at 110%?

Isn’t that how inflation works?
We started leaving red hat and red hat derivatives (centos) in favor of Debian when they were bought by ibm, assuming things wouldn’t turn out for the best.

While I was never a huge red hat fan, I do regret what’s happening now - I think that having a major corporate backer of open source code was very important. Other companies have since at least partially filled the gap, but still, I don’t like this. I guess that the red hat of the 90s is no longer the same company- time flies.
Maybe this will have positive long-term outcomes, if it results in more people taking climate change seriously and it leads to investing in alternative forms of energy generation?

Spending a few days suffering in the sweltering heat really makes you appreciate the magic of the AC and reliable access to power.

The biggest concern is whether people will end up dying because of this. I know there's places in the US where the heat is legitimately lethal.

>Somehow obviously arriving at 110%?

Because decreases in effective tax rates account for –10% of the observed change. Including negative contributions is a little confusing, but it gets a lot more confusing when you omit that part without clarifying why.

> Isn't mind and a brain two different things?

As far as I know you can only get one of them under a microscope, which seems to support your view, but "mind-brain identity theory", positing that mind and brain are literally the same thing, is still a thing in philosophy though not quite the hot item it was 60 years ago.

Regulation =/= Implementation Capability

The implementers and auditors themselves get bogged down by red tape and/or the game of telephone between various departments, leading to information and Acceptance Criterias falling between the cracks.

> It's also, as has been demonstrated, wildly impractical for Red Hat to continue exactly as before without others undermining its business.

> The thing is that everybody is only lobbying Red Hat to make concessions, but nobody's going after Oracle or Rocky or Alma or other clones to say "hey, cool it. Red Hat's trying to keep a business going here. You're undermining their business. If you keep this up, they're going to make it harder for everybody to use a free RHEL for non-business situations."

You make some really great points here. I think you've mostly won me over.

Ah, I stand corrected, looking at Booz’s website I see that the agreement from the start was no upfront cost to taxpayers.
Even if a given downtown becomes a ghost town, the benefits of proximity to pre-existing infrastructure mean that the nearby urban areas will still benefit, and activity will just shift around slightly. Pittsburgh, PA is a good example of a city where the collapse of the downtown just moved all the activity to the surrounding neighborhoods, and now that those are thriving (though some more than others, naturally) that's starting to result in increased reinvestment in revitalizing downtown.

It’s worth a full read IMO
"Did you like my article wherein I misunderstand a mathematical concept? Hire me to do math for you!" doesn't seem to be a strong pitch...
The downside of a central system is that sites can't set really custom rules. Things like "we don't allow anyone not associated with the XYZ festival to book a spot in the 3 days leading up to the XYZ festival" are really hard to handle with a big centralized booking system - whereas they are easy to handle with a little local office that does everything by hand.
I’m just not finding that ads suck that much. Things like mandatory cookie dialog boxes annoy me a lot more.
doesn't that go for the "experts" (especially Martin) in this article, too?

while unsatisfying, the evidence that i put out is from first-hand experience and is at least better than the hand-waving correlation/causation. especially when it's easy to point to at least one obvious factor that isn't mentioned.

I found this which does goes into it partially:

OR governments have demonstrated that they can take extreme decisions without warning, so businesses price accordingly. If you operate in this economy with unstable decision-making, then it creates margins to prepare padding.

Even if all businesses were cash-flow-positive during Covid, the environment is still more unstable.
Maybe to some extent it should scale with that detail. However, to some extent everyone in the food processing chain has a responsibility to be diligent and competent, right? If we let people off the hook for not knowing the quality of their suppliers, and finding out is expensive, then we’re applying a filter in favor of incompetence.
My interest in RHEL+clones waned when a kernel update didn't play nice with ZFS, DKMS notwithstanding, and then dropped to zero when searches for configuration information began to inevitably lead to paywalled pages on Red Hat's site (also a problem for Wildfly vs. JBoss).

The most permanent and effective solutions (in terms of minimizing adversarial activity over time and destroying the value of what is harvested) involve serving fake content (poison!), making site failures sporadic (forcing them to maintain state), and making some of those errors look like they're upstream not something you're doing on a specific machine (really bad luck mate!).

The deadenders who felt it was worth it will keep trying for at least a while; the new exploiters will tend to give up sooner. robots.txt is a courtesy. Not everybody puts stuff on the internet with a working theory that your experience is more important than theirs.
> such a "boring" and "solved" thing

Well, don't forget it's also a security thing so no matter what DON'T IMPLEMENT IT YOURSELF YOU'LL GET IT WRONG so you sort of _have_ to mostly ignore the spec and start looking for a (probably commercial) implementation.
The complaint is that the fee is often much higher than the actual cost. Actual cost, of course, varies by card type. Debit cards, for example, have a VERY SMALL average processing fee, AMEX has a large fee. Also, "minimum fees" that end up being much higher than the actual cost.
As a software engineer with kids, let me tell you: not only do they already bypass parental controls on both Android and iOS (I've yet to figure out how on this one) devices, but they discover these tactics from other kids in school that were saavy enough to find tutorials online. It's not like when I was a kid and had to dive into the registry to find the key associated with the program, understand what a swap file was and why it might contain credentials, write my own code to circumvent the controls, etc. They're not really learning anything about the system when they bypass the controls.

It seems to me like the difference between where you and @xtian stand and where the plaintiffs in this suit stand, is simply whether it’s more important to protect freedom of expression or to minimize the access of minors to this material. Nobody disagrees that both are important, but one has to override here, and I think a lot of people are rooting for the one that’s in the Constitution.

I don’t even think I care to weigh in with my preference, other than to urge you to consider the reasons on both sides.

Potential questions you might ask are “who gets to decide what’s porn, now and in future? Do state governments have a good track record of making reasonable decisions on issues that interest a loud minority of religious people who control one party which controls the state?” And finally “Do we really bet that nobody will ever hack this DB and publish a list of people in Louisiana who look at porn?”

> Why do bug-for-bug with RHEL at all? Why not turn Alma and Rocky into stable distributions in their own right?

Because the whole point is for them to be 'compatible'.

Many of the users are running software that needs to be on RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/etc or it won't be supported.

Sure, there are users who just want a stable OS, but the real point of Rocky/Alma is to have a 100% RHEL-compatible, but free distro.
The average civilian is more disposable than a service member. It is well known that a service member has more responsibilities and higher standards than their civilian counterparts. Hence the reason military experience is looked at with higher regard than a bachelors degree.

American cultural sensibilities making small engines a hard sell?

Historically the torque converter gearboxes were a big problem for small euro engines, but nowadays I’d assumed the gearboxes either are DCT or have lock-up clutch so it should be a non-issue.

Are you familiar with how common cosmetic surgery is, especially among women? The internet has this effect on everyone, and it’s no wonder men are starting to feel the same. I don’t like the reduction of sexuality to resource competition, but it is an admittedly useful lens for analysis. One used to be “in competition” with the people in their own town, or their neighborhood. Even the advent of cities wouldn’t have marked such a major shift in one’s perception of beauty. With social media, one can digitally “live” among the most beautiful people in the world, distorting not only their self-image but their expectations for a mate[1]. I’m not active on any of this, have decent self esteem, no features that I would consider deficient, and receive enough female (and male) attention to feel good about myself. I still have twinges of inadequacy when exposed to such things.

It’s dismissive to ascribe this to “incels”, although they may be the first group to really prioritize such things for men.

The whole thing is antisocial. It should be fixed, but it won’t, and we’ll see an arms race of self-augmentation.

[1] I will say that a lot of the obsessive quantification of traits applies more to oneself than to others in the real world, and that people have trouble translating between the two. Regarding height specifically, I’m barely above average. No woman has ever accurately assessed my height. They always think I’m a couple of inches taller than I am. I don’t do anything to exaggerate it, it’s just that they have specific numbers that they’ve fixed upon as “a good height” and when they see a man that looks tall enough, they think he must be at that height. On the other hand, they tend to get fixated on their own perceived flaws, like breast size, where I actually prefer someone on the smaller side, but they’ve already quantified an “ideal” and determined that they don’t meet it.

Email infra is cheap; email reputation management is not.

"CentOS helped establish and maintain RHEL as the defacto standard"

Not exactly. Maintain, perhaps, but Red Hat Linux was the standard before RHEL existed and everybody wanted a clone of Red Hat AS/RHEL to continue enjoying the free ride.

Let's also not forget that CentOS had a rocky (no pun intended) few years before Red Hat stepped in later on. A lot of folks gloss over the fact that there were periods of disarray with CentOS that involved some long gaps between updates, a whole kerfuffle about a founder disappearing and the domain ownership being in question...

CentOS, as a project independent of Red Hat, existed for about 10 years. This included several long periods of slow updates to minor versions and long waits for major versions of RHEL. (e.g. it took almost 3 months for CentOS to push out 5.6 after RHEL 5.6, and even longer to get CentOS 6 out of RHEL 6).

Before Red Hat took over CentOS a chief point of criticism was that CentOS took too long to update and the core group wouldn't let new folks in to contribute. (See: https://lwn.net/Articles/435744/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20190402181426/http://www.linux-...)

Now, users have Stream which is pretty much everything you'd have wanted except the ability to claim that it's exactly specific RHEL release. In my book a major improvement, unless what I want is the ability to get support for RHEL from vendors without actually paying for RHEL.

The best way to deal with this: install solar power on site to power the AC.

Make zero (or low) interest loans available to pay for it; the power companies could originate the loans and pay them back through the existing monthly payment system.

Everybody wins: people get cheaper/sustainable power, the grid load is eased, and the utilities can make money handling the money.

An interesting article, but an extremely editorialized title: the original is "Europe's Economic Outlook Depends on how Corporate Profits Absorb Wage Gains".

It raises the question of whether submitters should have their karma penalized for sensationalizing the title, particularly when, as in this case, it hits the #1 spot in half an hour and generates a thread full of political flamewars.
This site was commissioned in the wake of the obamacare market roll out which was an absolute cluster fuck. The idea was basically "ok so it turns out we're completely incapable of building a website without it falling over once we turn it on, lets let the private sector do it and incentivize them to make it good by letting them charge a fee when people use it". So I guess the difficult is that whoever came up with this website didn't believe the government could deliver it. Also thad the benefit of the site being free in terms of upfront costs.

You're talking about national parks, I'm concerned about Army Corps of Engineering areas designated for recreation. There is no way to guarantee access at this point. You have to buy the pass from recreation.gov, then show up, then find out the park is 'full'. I have no idea what this means, there are no published limits, and I am still a valid pass holder.

The website is basically a scam because you can't enter if you don't have a pass. But buying a pass doesn't guarantee access. I can't make a reservation either, I have to get there in line (after buying the pass online) and hope I can get early enough before the park is 'full'. This basically means the park is off limits.

I think this talk about costs vs profits sounds important to lay people, but is completely irrelevant. Companies do not price goods based on the goodness of their hearts. They price it at the point that maximizes volume*(unit price-COGS). Companies are constantly testing this price point. For example, a promotion may produce data that can indicate how consumers will respond to a price change.

In an inflationary period, consumers expectations change allowing more movement in this price than normal. And this permits companies to increase prices, and produce higher profits. Note, their upstream providers are doing the same, and some of these higher profits will be passed on upstream.

Companies that are in a weaker market position, will find themselves unable to raise prices as much as their competitors.. and if their upstream providers find demand enables them to raise prices more than they can, they will find their profits decrease. Some of these companies will go out of business. This is one of the ways that inflation rids the market of less desirable companies.

Cost-plus pricing (how many consumers imagine pricing works) has almost entirely gone away in retail pricing. Even if a producer does this, the retailers will market adjust the price themselves... This is what has happened to car sales: the manufacturer didnt capture the difference, so the dealership captured it instead.
