The caveat to the "wage price spiral" is that we live in a system that demands ever growing profits. Given that profits are the surplus that remains after wages are paid, this means we expect the portion of prices that goes towards wages to be reduced over time. This means profit growth requires either wage suppression (easy) or a higher output per employee (difficult). If wages go up instead of being suppressed, this adds to the existing market pressure to increase profits while also removing and in fact inverting one of the two major mechanisms to increase profits. According to traditional economical theory this means the only thing left to do is increase prices to at least maintain profit if not profit growth as well.

In other words, the reason the system demands higher prices if wages go up (while the worker demands higher wages if the prices go up because they literally need money to survive) is not simply that higher wages drive up production cost but that businesses also need to maintain and increase their profits, i.e. the surplus that remains after all stock is sold, all services are rendered and all costs are paid.

There is no way to change this within the system but concluding that this means the problem is unsolvable mistakenly assumes the system can not be modified or replaced with one that does not have this resource allocation problem. Such a change just wouldn't benefit those currently holding a disproportionate amount of resources and wealth as much as the rest of us so it's not likely to happen without sufficient external force (and even then only if that energy is not directed elsewhere).
This depends on lift frequency, the lift itself, etc.

In general, for a compound lift (squat/bench/deadlift/overhead press) most would consider newbie gains exhausted once you can no longer linearly add weight/reps on a weekly basis (assuming a normal weekly schedule). This is the point when various forms of periodization (waving weight/reps/frequency up/down in many possible ways) need to start to support the increase of weight/reps over time.

As an Indian the UK visa is way more work than US and the other part is US often gives you a 10 year visa whereas the UK gives 6 month visas so you have to go through the whole process every so often. EU is also more work. You often need to show hotel bookings, flights both ways and so on and if it gets rejected it is a lot of effort down the drain.
I work in automotive. It's annoying dealing with US to Europe plates. I'm sure there is someone in the design dept that really wanted to deal with Delware plates and now just drinks.
crafty, but for your consideration: that places the burden upon every library author to be "accounting accurate" to any edits, and the only way anyone would know that it's not correct is to visually inspect the output text

If it's decentralized is the server side code open source and can it be self hosted and connected to the network?
I think you're just emphasizing that you're a language thinker and can't imagine the other side... I can "sound out something" in my head but 1) that's a conscious effort that never happens out of the blue 2) I don't use/need it for things like emotional reactions, understanding the world, thinking what I should say next, or so on. It's a tool I only use if I'm for example having trouble coming up with e.g. prose that rhymes, or solving crossword or Wordle puzzles -- language problems!

Technically speaking appimages are compressed files so maybe someone clever can come up with an idea on how to dedupe them. With mass adoption this issue i think may be solved by someone concerned about disk space. Personally, and probably many casual users, are not as worried about space as they are about convenience. But I think your point is valid, and I think this would make an interesting side project for someone out there. For me, I'd like to see more adoption. The nice to haves will follow.
I was kinda forced into flatpaks with Fedora silverblue and 10 months later I don't really mind them. They are good enough for a laptop with no special requirements. I have Dino, Steam, Gnome Tweaks, Fractal, Signal, Gimp (crashes a lot), Firefox (because it comes with codecs, unlike the Fedora flatpak), Transmission, Chromium (mostly to run Teams and Outlook for work).
Those charts show wages growing at an annualized rate of 1.5% at best. Any years with inflation greater than 1.5% were effectively years of wage LOSS, rather than growth. Most of those years had inflation greater than 1.5%.

Edit: this math is bad, see sokoloff's comment below.

I still don't get it.

The actual menu items you select are 20 px font size in the hamburger menu, and 18 px font size from the navbar menu. That's just 11% larger. Nothing about that is "huge".

The hamburger menu taking over the whole (narrow) screen doesn't bother me at all. If I'm using the menu, it's not like I need to be looking at the rest of the screen.

And it just feels silly to create a third design. We already have navbar for widescreen and hamburger menu for narrow screen. Now you want a third version -- a hamburger menu that is pop-up rather than fullscreen -- for narrow desktop usage? I sure wouldn't want to do all that extra work.

The problem is that there is an observable pattern of people betting all of their social capital on social media, and forming pathological connections to the people that interact with their posts the most.

A lot of people have allowed social media to replace a normal social life, and so if a celebrity, or someone with a lot of social media clout follows you and interacts with you, it can be tempting to incorporate that connection into your social identity, and overvalue it.
<input type="date"> is a pretty good option, and it lets you type in the date manually if you'd like.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk’s plan was to have the illusion of a failed plan to tank downloads so that the news media would write about the failed plan to tank downloads of X, increasing publicity. Kind of genius, really.
If you think this is bad then you should have been around in the mid-70's to early 80's after Nixon unilaterally bended Bretton Woods and threw the global monetary regime into chaos. I still remember mortgage rates of 12% to 15% and lots of young families being shut out of the housing market - at the same time apartment complexes were being built everywhere. Sound familiar?
I use a similar device with Meshtastic for hiking. It's nice to be able to track people and communicate if you're meeting up on the trail and I've found range to be good enough to be useful on a lot of trails even if it's mostly LOS. You can also look at stuff like the Meshtastic ATAK plugin to really get into the deep end of what's possible, too.

I want to experiment with linking back to my car and maybe having kind of cellular back haul to pull in weather and stuff. Cellular is practically nonexistent even at the trailheads most places I hike so the practicality probably is limited but it's fun to tinker with. You can of course buy Garmin satphones that do something similar but with Iridium (i.e., better), but that's way less fun.
I personally use social media much more often when my CRP is high.

Can you walk me through how you are computing churn to get the 2%-4% figure, especially given the 60 installs and 80 uninstalls?

Is 2% a typo? I doubt it is given that you've written it multiple times, but as far as I can tell, 2% churn is really good, hence my nudge to walk us through how you compute it.

There's too little information in your post to be able to make a useful recommendation.

Let's suppose it is 2%. In my opinion, your best bet isn't trying to reduce that 2% which is, as I said, pretty good, but to examine your other levers.

Your costs are about $100/month. You haven't talked about transaction fees and all the percentages for processing, but let's forget that for a moment. You could go out and grow revenue. Of course, some of these levers to increase your sales may increase your costs and you'll have to keep track of costs costs as a percentage of sales.

Leads, prospects, conversion, "customer acquisition cost", average revenue per user, and cash flow.

What's your sales process like? How are people learning about your apps? When are they learning about your apps? What's the point of market entry? What are your channels? What percentage of those who learn about your apps end up buying them and can you increase that percentage? How much does the app cost? Is there an annual plan with a form of discount (to get a year's worth now)? How much does turning a lead into a buying customer cost and how does that figure compare to the amount that customer brings in?

Maybe if you look at most of your customers they'll tend to be in a certain geographic location, speak a certain language (and maybe you can expand to other geographic locations), or selling a specific set of goods (maybe awareness of your app is shared with word of mouth among people who sell car parts).

As I said, there are many levers, including looking at your channels, and few information to be able to tell.
My understanding is that the channels, especially channelizing the LA River, were done to handle floodwater from further inland in the watershed, especially the mountains in spring. Having to handle both incoming floodwaters and record-setting local rain is beyond their design specs.
This is exactly why. If you are doing linux maintenance, this is really helpful because you can tell if you should be running a specific command as root or user. If you are just giving instructions on what to do for a normal user, omitting it is probably fine. If you are doing something that will require both, it might be good to explain it at the beginning of your instructions.
Another interesting side-effect of this deregulation style is it splits up power producers from the actual utility providers managing the lines which (can) allow for more competition in generation.

Those big spikes in prices are a signal there's money to be made building battery systems or more PV systems. Unlike places where there's a government-granted monopoly on generation construction, pretty much anyone can put solar panels in a field and start being a producer, you don't need to get the government's permission as long as you meet the requirements to hook up to the grid.

Your idea is based around the concept that only a few orgs can participate in generation. Its just not true in the end, there's a pretty competitive market in generation. Its why Texas has added grid-sale solar and wind faster than the majority of other states; it doesn't take some entrenched interest to decide to build.

Texas hasn't been experiencing these spikes because of some kind of captive industry pulling the strings and driving artificial shortages a la Enron. Its been having these spikes because we're consistently demanding more electricity than any state in the US has ever demanded at once, practically every day. Power demand and generation records pretty much keep getting smashed. Despite the fact its generally pretty easy to get new plants online compared to other places we're still having challenges building fast enough to meet demand.

Optimizing for disk space in 2023 seems misguided at best, all computers come with hundreds of GB at least, often one TB or more. Most people never fill these unless they download media, and people who download media have additional hard drives anyway.

Ease of use, RAM usage, startup time and security should all rank higher than disk space.
I kinda doubt you are about to get fired. I mean, you might not be doing well, but in my experience it doesn’t happen that fast.

But you might be right that this is sort of the “last call,” but I wouldn’t act like you will lose your job tomorrow. Decide whether you want to stay at this job even if you were impressing people, that’s where I would start.

"Is having friends a conspiracy?" well... maybe, it depends on what you do with the friends. In cases like this you need to be at least a little specific about the implementation.

> Platforms like Twitter and Facebook put the network in the center - it's about relationships between accounts (Friend/Follower)

At the beginning yes, but nowadays that’s less the case. Twitter’s "For You" is the default view and it contains popular content that have little to do with who you’re following. TikTok/Instagram behave in the same way, showing you a mix of stuff from people you follow (but not everything) and from other sources. I’m not been on Facebook recently, but I believe they do the same.
I'm kind of surprised here, myself, and am very interested in seeing real numbers because, just from the replies to this comment I'm seeing a lot of difference of opinion.

Personally, I always use a browser full screen and most everything else is 'windowed'. My browser usually ends up being the "background" of my monitor, only traded out when I'm writing code, in which case my IDE is the "background" (full screen). Everything else except games runs in a smaller window. Dragging and dropping still works, like that. It's just really convenient.

From mostly working with other devs, this is usually what I see. This is how I see MOST people use their desktops. Full screen browser, always. Then we get to this article and this comment section and people are talking like it's a given that MOST people use their browsers in windowed mode. Personally, the only time I can even remember someone doing that is when they snap it to an area and then snap something else beside it.

My suspicion is this is a Windows/Linux vs Mac thing? Everything in Mac defaults to "floating" app windows, instead of defaulting to a single app window, maximized, with sub-panel windows inside the app renderer. So people just kind of mentally map it that way, depending on the OS? But then, that's just a guess!

Obviously, I don't mean to imply that one way is better or worse. I'm just kind of intrigued by how blindsided I - and apparently others - are about this.

Anyway, you're right about the article's hand-waving. It's not as compelling to me, because I've had users file tickets when our "anything past 1060px gets centered on the screen, instead of expanding to fill" method was displayed on a 4K screen. They claimed it was "unusable", even though it was entirely the same, it just didn't expand as much as they would have like (yes, even on a TV; other users were using it just fine). So I don't think anything past 800 is less worth consideration. At the very least, I'd say that number is more like 960 or 1400. The upper end of standard desktop sizes instead of the lower. At 800px width, even default browser font sizes look big. Scaling down to a 10 or 11px font size is fine for complex utilities, but when you're trying to size it for big, finger-sized buttons, 800px gets cramped, fast.

But yeah, the overall advice holds.
In the context of technical discussions about the insecure designs of voting systems based on machines, sure. But how does "not playing the game" work in the context of getting the larger public to care about the real issues, or even just getting election officials to? It seems like the whole dynamic increases the power of election officials to circle the wagons and insist "we're secure, trust us".
So… they’re boomers? This isn’t just a Canadian phenomenon. Makes you wonder why they by and large are that way.

> IMO we’re trending towards multigenerational home ownership where it may require 4-6 income earners to own a house.

Nah, don't think so.

We went from multigenerational homes and kids living with their parents, inheriting their houses, and if buying -- doing it after they grew up and saved / got help to buy their own house. To a situation where everybody thinks the first thing you have to do after you get your first job is to get expensive mortgage and buy your own house. And parents basically waiting for their kids to leave the house so that they can enjoy freedom.

You suddenly need way more houses for the same number of people because people no longer want to live together. And that is what has largely been driving housing prices.

The times of prosperity caused this change but also for a long time were masking the effects.

Then multiply it by people's inflated expectations on how large their living space needs to be (houses are much larger than in the past even as they are less affordable),

It does not help that people are brainwashed that borrowing money is the way to go. It is not. It is a way to stay a slave to the bank. As a side note it is funny that there is so much debate about freedom and yet completely miss the fact that the biggest reason people are not free is that most people owe money to a bank and and most are not making good progress paying the debt.

So I think this wave of growth in the need for housing space will pass and at some point it will get more affordable.

I think future is very much to be written. In ideal world people would get educated on how to deal with debt, how to pay it and stay debt free. Also how to not get overboard buying stuff you don't really need (which I am very guilty of myself). I know this last one might cool the economy a little bit but I actually think it would be fine if it meant people had healthier financials.

What I think is likely, though, is formation of a new class which will essentially be free people in name only. Slaves to the bank from the day they are born to the day they die. Monitored and controlled at every step (which is already happening -- with banks and insurance companies digging through your private data to figure out how big risk you are). Poorly educated with both parents working, with attention grabbed by a shiny rectangle from the first years of their lives, with a noise of AI generated "media". Unable to reach real information through the noise. With no real friends, no real social interactions, no hope to upend the system because of no way to gather critical mass of people to do anything of note.
