Do not assume that because someone has expensive things that they also have a lot of cash and no debt.

> When dealerships have shortages they do massive markups. Lets are sold but huge profits per car.

If price increases are due to supply constraints profits should equalize, not increase (This is called price elasticity). People need cars and manufactures are taking advantage of that fact. The demand (actually absolute need) for a car make the price extremely inelastic.
No, you don’t.

In fact, if you don’t view it as provisional, you’ll never figure out its wrong. Cf. Columbus and reaching the East Indies.
In fairness, "Wiki engine" to me made me think Confluence was based off of XWiki or something similar and that you contributed that, rather than a Wiki macro renderer.

Additionally, Confluence being born from it seems like something someone should have the receipts to as well.

Depends on what timeframe you consider the OP sees as "new thing". Reaganomics really was the start of this trend though I'm sure it is easy to find examples prior to then looking back until the Great Depression.

The US had golden years after World War 2. We had abundance, effective institutions, and high trust. We've been slowly coming off of that high for a while, and are returning to what is arguably a more typical state. Our institutions are crumbling, and societal trust is nose diving. Abundance still has a ways to go though.

The speech focuses on more than the MIC and he mentions other dangers such as changes to scientific development. The archives.gov page should do more analysis on it. The interests in the MIC lines distorts the underlying message of the speech, which is that the changes the US underwent during Ike's presidency had major risks/failure modes, that though Ike thought necessary and developed vigorously, he would also not be able to help with going forward, and that it would require the American people to guard against those risks. To "Use my work justly."

It only took two years for the US
to struggle with the changes he helped bring about, in which a lesser president risked nuclear war to save political face.

Reminds me very much of Johnny's "Can we survive technology?", letter in harper's, written while he was dying.

Ike is also very particular with words and has several other good speeches. I like the "multiplicity of fears" section of his speech in 54.

it would be even better if they stopped proactively pushing a rating prompt and defaulted to 'no rating' which means 'everything is fine'. provide the thumbs up/down in the app that people can use for the situations where it was noteworthy enough to go out of your way to register a vote.

and it might be better to drop the thumbs-up option as well. the rating ecosystems have evolved to a point where the stars aren't a bipolar rating scale from bad->acceptable->great but rather a unipolar scale from bad->acceptable. there's a good chance that the same would happen with thumbs up/down, so why not just jump to the inveitable endpoint of "ratings are only used to report adverse events"?
Such problems only exist in third world countries, such as US or UK.

My country solves this by issuing a plastic ID card to each citizen. You apply for it at your local town hall, and it is free of charge. You can use that ID for voting, or any other interaction with the government when they need to confirm your identity. Hell, they even issued a smartphone application recently, that can be legally used as ID.
Its similar to the option to tip being on everything now. Guy scans your soda at checkout, how much would you like to to tip? 20, 25 or 30%.

Oh tipped on the first order but forgot to add a cookie for your kid? Thats a second tip.

Everything requires some sort of rating or payment now. I have a guy that calls me once a week to update me on an order thats 2 months late. He asks me to rate him after every call. I hang up each time though, its like a 10 question survey, its crazy, takes longer than the update call.
In the UK, it feels like food is up 25-50% over a mere couple of years.

Items that were £2 not so long ago are now rounded up to £3 in some cases.

It doesn't help that supermarkets are constantly playing games with pricing, trying to get people into the store with seemingly good deals that never last long, then experimenting with just how far they can push the greedflation on other items.

We need a measure of inflation that's based on the cost of essentials, primarily housing, energy, transport, and food - rather than stacking the 'basket of goods' with infrequent purchases that we expect to fall in price.

it's a pretty toxic thing to flirt with someone while they're "trapped" in your car. Especially if the passenger thinks they have to be polite because of certain power dynamics.

of course people should be allowed to flirt with each other but from what I've heard from female friends - do it in a bar or public, leisurely places. Not inside of an Uber etc.'

And especially if the passenger also doesn't show any special interest.

YMMV I guess. And it's a touchy topic anyways, I know more guys than I expected who just don't think that cat-calling and "no is not an answer"-flirting is pretty messed up, most of the times. And proceed to call me a white-knight snowflake when I explain my viewpoint.

The producer price index in the US was at 118 in 2020. It shot up to 140.72. In the US that corresponds to the producer having less purchasing power which directly ties into our consumer price index and the raw costs of goods. At one point the producer-side inflation was WORSE. Businesses were loosing their asses in the US. it wasn't "price gouging".

Many people don't have the patience for one question, and you're going to ask multiple?
You never had control over windows. Not since the ME/XP days. You don’t have control over MacOS either. The only OS you have any control over is Linux and even some of those you don’t.
One could say that a "rush hour ride" is a different service than a ride at a less crowded time.

Hotels in a small town might have better reviews than hotels in New York. But if you want to stay in NY, you compare between the hotels there. So the hotels in the small town do not have a benefit of their "manipulation" to offer rooms in a less crowded city.
We are talking about food, not groceries. As before, there is a lag between them. The consumer is still largely paying out last year's food contracts at the high prices. We likely won't see grocery prices come down until next year.
This was a good read. But the question that I kept waiting to be asked was "What do I need to monitor?"

In my opinion, the way to avoid many of the problems and complexities that author lists is to start with the goals. What are the business/mission goals? What is the workload (not the monitoring tool) trying to accomplish? What does the thing do?

Once you have that, you can go about selecting the right tool for the job. The author notes that there's no consensus on what logs are for. Or is buried under signal-to-noise ratio for metrics. But when you start with a goal, and then determine a KPI you want to obtain to measure that, you'll then be able to ascertain where a log, metric, trace, or combination thereof can reflect that. And you only need create the ones needed to measure that. The scope of the problem becomes far more manageable.

It make take a couple tries to get right, and a user may find that they need to add more over time. But the monitoring doesn't need to change often unless the deliverables or architecture of the workload does. And creating those should be part of the development process.

By starting with goals and working from there, monitoring becomes a manageable task. The myriad of other logs and metrics created can be safely stored and kept quiet until they're needed to troubleshoot or review an incident. That falls into observability.

Observability is something you have.
Monitoring is something you do.

I haven't addressed the difficulties the author states in creating various traceability mechanisms, how to parse all of these logs from various platforms, or some of the other technical challenges he states. There are usually solutions for these (usually...), some easier than others. But by narrowing the scope down to what's needed to achieve your given insights, the problem set becomes only what's required to achieve that aim, and not trying to build for every conceivable scenario.
> and well understood

Are they? There's not a universal definition of what any of the discrete star ratings mean.
English is ultimately derived from Indo-European. The earliest surviving language of that language tree is actually vedic Sanskrit. It has 3 numbers (single, dual, plural) and 3 genders (male, female, neuter)

So you need to look at languages not derived from Indo European.
Plot twist: Corporations raised prices because there was extra liquidity that they can capture. If the money printing didn't happen, these raises couldn't happen too (because there will be no supply of money to satisfy them).

I'm actually thinking it's not a twisted plot. Companies went ahead of the curve. Instead of waiting for the inflation-induced by printing, and gradually raising prices, they went avant-garde and raised prices accordingly.

You are (were) an idiot if you didn't raise prices.
A generic OBDII scanner that will read mileage and engine fault codes is not expensive, they are on Amazon and other sellers. The better ones run up to several hundred dollars. For some things you do need the manufacture's software but not for reading mileage and standard fault codes.

I have opted out of all rating and feedback requests by default. I now just give them rarely, for things that are out of the ordinary. And by preference I use email and my own words, rather than a form. The constant pummeling of these requests has just gotten too much, a bit of a water torture.

My eyes were opened by a company that actually offered to pay me for the feedback. I bought a scanner from Raven, and they contacted me and offered $20 for a short interview about my experience with it. How extraordinary, to actually offer to pay me for my time! I accepted their offer and tried to give good value for it. Now all of the others who request my time in return for nothing just seem like a poor deal. No, thanks, I don't feel that I owe you my time to review your product in return for a purchase, even 30 seconds of it.

I want less parties involved with secure data, not more. This should be an on-prem solution with no external network access and no direct calls to OpenAI. A call is made to this service to obfuscate, then another call to OpenAI, all managed by a coordinating mechanism that is opensource / trusted.

Better yet, maybe LLMs should be required to have weights released considering they are trained on the collective of human knowledge. Seems strange to use a significant sum of human knowledge that is publicly available then deny everyone access to the weights.
This is a wild perspective. Even if it’s true among people you know, but being trapped in a vehicle with some random man you don’t know is not a fantasy for most women. If you think that is a good time to throw down some moves, you’ve been misled.
If this is true, maybe they should change to a binary system. I rarely give five stars. I reserve those for truly exceptional service. Everyone else gets 2 (poor), 3 (average), or 4 (above average).
I usually end up with project specific "run" scripts which are just shell scripts so I can do things like `./run shell` to drop into the shell of a container, or `./run rails db:migrate` to run a command in a container.

That you're reading at a bar instead of reading at home.

I have a friend that reads at bars, because he likes random conversations but needs something to do in between them.
The Way(tm) that I was taught/experienced is as follows:

o Logs are there for ignoring. You need them precisely twice: once when you are developing, and once when the thing's gone to shit, but they are never verbose enough when you need them.

o Using logs to derive metrics is an expensive fools errand pushed by splunk and the cloud equivalents(ie cloudwatch and the like). Its slow, inaccurate and horrendously expensive.

o using logs for monitoring is a fools errand. Its always too slow, and really really fucking brittle.

o metrics are king.

o pull model metrics is an antipattern

o Graphite + grafana is still actually quite good, although time resolution isn't there.

o You need to raid your metrics stores

o We had a bunch of metrics servers in a raid 1, which were then in a raid 0 for performance, all behind loadbalancers and DNS Cnames with a really low TTL.

o Cloudwatch metrics are utterly shite

o Cloudwatch is actually entirely shit.

o tracing is great, and brilliant for performance monitoring.

o Xray from AWS is good, but only really for lambdas.

o tracing is fragile and doesn't really plug and play end to end, unless you have the engineering discipline to enforce "the one true" tracing system everywhere

but what do you monitor?

http://widgetsandshit.com/teddziuba/2011/03/monitoring-theor... this still is canonical.

In short, everything should have a minimum set of graphs, CPU, Memory, connections, upstream service response times hits per second and query time, at a minimum.

You can then aggregate those metrics into a "service health" gauge, where you set a minimum level of service (ie no response time greater than 600ms, and no 5xx/4xx errors or similar) red == the service isn't performing within spec, yellow == its close to being outside spec, green == its inside spec.

if you are running a monolith, then each subsection needs to have a "gauge". for microservice people, every microservice. You can aggregate all those gauges into "business services" to make a dashboard that even CEOs can understand.

The Precipitation Problem
I feel like a rating system encourages lots of unintended dimensions of ratings to come into play. Some people want engaging conversation between them and the driver. Others want absolute silence. It can also vary for passengers and drivers day-to-day and trip-to-trip. This could also lead to neurodiverse passengers and drivers receiving low scores inappropriately because of mismatched expectations on the social dimension of the trip.

All of this has nothing to do with what the ratings should focus on: did the driver do the job of getting from A to B well (and safely)? Was the passenger respective of the driver's time and space?
And I have one that unifies _both_ to `clip` so you can put the same command in both sides of the pipe, e. g. to turn a line-delimited blob on your clipboard to a space-separated one:

clip | tr '\n' ' ' | clip

https://github.com/svieira/dotfiles/blob/a3654d6a194e3689978...

# Use clipboard in shell pipelines
# clip | xargs echo # uses pbpaste
# ps -A | grep search | clip # uses pbcopy
clip() {
[ -t 0 ] && pbpaste || pbcopy
}
They probably meant prizes.

They seem to be in favor of mocking people for being wrong. I don't agree. It'll result in a great deal more mockery than I have any use for.
I have a single 4 star (passenger) rating. I don't know when I got it, but I think it happened when I was very drunk one time while abroad, so I probably earned it to. I personally always rate 5, unless there was something very wrong with the car or the driver.

I know, I'm not asking if it applies to you, but if you had to choose, which would you. But with the other responses the experiment is falsified. My theory was that if an English speaker had to choose, the choice would not be random, so gendered nouns somehow exist in culture as kind of a silent agreement, if you will.

But if you have to really think about it, you can rationalise any choice as being valid, so this thought experiment becomes moot.
