Yes, but when interest rates were high decades ago, malinvestment bubbles started smaller, deflated, and ended up much smaller. I think by most measures, the current economy-wide credit bubble (and tech wage inflation bubble driven by stocks) have only been minorly dented by tightening (despite the layoff waves), and we're very likely to reverse course into easing.

Keeping these fundamentals in mind, it's likely Silicon Valley will see an outflow of workers over the next couple of years, and salaries will be depressed in other cities due to the moving labor supply. Then once easing begins, we'll see that trend reverse yet again.

GPS on its own especially with systems like WAAS is quite accurate these days, generally within a few meters. If you need more (which planting most crops does) there's also RTK [1], which permits centimeter-level accuracy from relatively inexpensive / simple setups. Here's an example of a local RTK base station with radio link in the industry [2], and additionally it's possible to get these corrections off cell network data connections [3]. Radio offers you more hyperlocal corrections which could improve accuracy a touch, but comes with all the downsides you'd expect of a local radio system so both are viable options.

Its' really the way to go in my opinion. I have my feeds grouped by interest so if I'm in the mood for something specific I click on the specific feed and see what's new, but if I'm interested in something carpentry, or rving, or hiking, or networking/selfhosting I just click on the directory I have those feeds in and see them all most recent first.

Growth businesses like tech and startups also tend to be more sensitive to rate increases due to changes in the time value of money.

All too often it seems like the label of disinformation is thrown around to discredit a source which goes against a mainstream narrative, not that is it wrong. If something is indeterminant, then disagreeing with it, like mask or social distancing efficacy or lockdowns during Covid, does not make it disinformation. Why does one side get to have their views enshrined as correct information.
The reason why "it depends" is so often the answer is because legal questions are very situational and fact-specific. You'd need to consult with a lawyer on your specific situation to get an answer.

But, generally speaking, a quick consult and having a lawyer write a response letter is a few hundred dollars. Let's ballpark it as $300-1000, depending on the nature of the case. Now, that's assuming that the company that sent you the C&D doesn't sue you. If they sue you and you go to court, the lawyer fees go up quite a bit and become pretty much impossible to ballpark (though I'm sure someone has tried).

Having a lawyer on retainer isn't really necessary. It might be something you do if you're a business that doesn't have a lawyer on staff, but you want access to a lawyer's time when you need it. For most regular folks, I can't imagine setting up a retainer until you need to engage a lawyer for a case and want to guarantee their time.

I was wondering about this after a recent beach trip I took. I won't name where I was, but I noticed a considerable improvement in sand quality on the beaches in front of the nice hotels. It was a quality difference that went beyond normal beach cleanup. Perhaps the sand was sourced locally, and beach improvement surely pales in volume to construction use of sand, but still it was the first time I'd wondered about sand mining/theft.
> Contrary to the expectation of attraction, insects do not steer directly toward the light. Instead, insects turn their dorsum toward the light, generating flight bouts perpendicular to the source. Under natural sky light, tilting the dorsum towards the brightest visual hemisphere helps maintain proper flight attitude and control. Near artificial sources, however, this highly conserved dorsal-light-response can produce continuous steering around the light and trap an insect.

> Beware Marxist terms, but then he kinda coined the "capitalism" term too!

The term "capitalism" (kapitalismus) does not appear even once in the entire corpus of Marx's writings.

'Kapitalismus' first appeared as a term arrayed against socialism in Werner Sombart's 1902 book Der moderne Kapitalismus. It was only after this book that the term capitalism was incorporated bit-by-bit into Marxist theorizing.

'Capitalism' didn't appear in political science dictionaries/glossaries until after World War I, and didn't appear in the Encyclopedia Britannica until 1926.

I think the problem here is that bigger kids scare the target audience for a playground away. Unless you are thinking 3 year olds roaming a bit kicking a ball?

But I agree on your point. Safety is not a problem, really. Anything that can be climbed is plenty unsafe enough already. There is no need to add stones underneath also.

It probably comes down to parents not having time, or willing to take the time, to take their children to the playground. "Safetyism" is just a scapegoat.

Todays playgrounds are way cooler and funnier than those I had ...

In general there seems to be a growing attitude of moral outrage towards people who tolerate a bit of risk. As though we all have a moral responsibility to preserve life and safety at basically any cost. It's insane to me. Calculated risk is the spice of life. It also allows for a sense of self-mastery as you overcome your own fear of the unknown by facing it down.

People even have the nerve to criticize those who have an apatite for risk as "selfish," as though they have a moral obligation to not making other people sad or upset by their possible injury or death. Absolute madness.
Or: you stop after you train your classifier on extortion, because society is capable of having and maintaining standards and because not every slope has to be slippery?

There are many other cases in which we allow limited intrusions into individual freedom in order to protect society. For instance, here in the UK, a police officer can enter my house without a warrant if they believe that it is necessary to facilitate an arrest for an indictable offence -- and that has been the case since at least 1984. If your way of thinking was accurate, police should now be routinely entering my house and beating confessions out of me.

It wouldn't matter to me what procedure I was being asked to submit to.

This actually explains something for me! Every few weeks my father-in-law has an issue where a site he uses—which I presume has some bug where local state gets corrupted—just fails to load properly. It works on Chrome for Android on the same wi-fi connection, and works again on his desktop once cookies/local storage etc are cleared.

What perplexed me the most recent time, is that the site also wouldn't load in Edge. While the article doesn't explicitly mention it, the screenshot does imply it's capable of pulling cookies and other data over too.

One more annoyance to be aware of I guess.
The British company hasn't abandoned anything. The Raspberry Pi 1 still has full, modern, feature-parity support in Raspberry Pi OS, eleven years after launch.

But fine-- in my trash bin you'll find a Cubietruck, an Asus Tinkerboard, a MangoPi MQ-Pro, and several other Chinese SoC compute sticks. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me 5 times, shame on me. All were basically given up on by the original manufacturer, and some had some degree of support through Armbian (albeit with numerous features lost due to being walled off behind some inscrutable binary blob).

The current alternative darling of the SBC enthusiast world, the Rockchip RK3588[S], does not have mainline kernel support and depends on a faux-5.x-series frankenkernel provided by Rockchip. Mainline support has been coming Real Soon Now for at least a year, and is in theory making progress, but I can't spend promises at the supermarket.

If capitalism works by selling people a piece of shit that barely does what it's supposed to do at launch, doesn't have mainline support, and is consigned to the dustbin after a single dev cycle or two because the manufacturer has moved on to the next piece of shit they will sell to the next mark and then abandon shortly thereafter, then I guess I'm anti-capitalism now. They tell me it used to be about making money by selling a decent product, rather than selling obsolescence-at-launch, thereby scamming people by design. I don't need that kind of capitalism, but there's a lot of it coming out of China these days.

Valve perhaps, but I don't think Epic could manage it. Microsoft, despite (or because of) the head-start with windows, managed to fail with their own phone OS, but they do have the XBox+store for games.

Amazon would be my next bet, followed by Samsung… but then, why would either bother starting from scratch when they already have an app store and a phone/tablet platform? Sticking with Android makes it easy to get more apps because developers don't need to learn yet another platform.

Does Epic have their own hardware? Has Epic even managed to make a successful app store of their own on Android, where they wouldn't need their own hardware?

Right, but you can do them as you come into work, visit a customer site as a contractor, whatever. Were any places that required a test for entry really requiring a lab test? If so, were they isolating the people whose test results were not in? If not, what's the point of testing?
