> It’s either the caramel coloring or the water… Or the lack of competition.

There could be a lot of other factors involved.

Governments and unions can add a tremendous amount of artificial cost/overhead to goods and services, too.

A minimum wage increase or new collective bargaining agreements, for example, can increase costs throughout a supply chain, from manufacturing, to transportation, to retail.

A new or increased vehicle fuel tax, or a more general "carbon" tax, are examples of government policies that can also repeatedly distort pricing throughout a supply chain.

Also, keep in mind that the pricing of the lower-tier grocery products might not reflect the actual cost to the retailer. Such products are often sold as loss leaders. The actual cost may be much closer to the cost of the higher-tier products, but this isn't apparent to the customer thanks to the retailer subsidizing the product.

Cheaper grocery products can sometimes use inferior ingredients or lower-cost alternative ingredients, too. Comparisons with more expensive products may not be realistic because they're fundamentally different products, even if they may seem similar to the consumer.

I don't respect what he actually built. Leeching off others' work and while doing it blasting out ads which ended up being the first wave of making browsing unpleasant in the early 2000s. Without any actual contributions.

And that then paired with "I didn't know how to code, and I hated reading." It's this attitude that software engineering is somehow what you do after having watched a fews youtube videos and discovered stackoverflow. My aunt still thinks that. Thanks for perpetuating that myth.

One measure that would be interesting: a buyback of banned DJI gear, issuing vouchers that can be spent with non-disapproved drone brands.

That might help make DJI owners whole, and consistent with some of the presumed goals behind banning use of DJI. Though it's spending taxpayer money.
i think the aim was to put an upper bound on the estimate. so in practise it would cost less, much less perhaps.

No one said anything like that. They're just saying it's harder for developers and businesses to utilize them as they do other projects that use standard formats and practices. Relax.
Here's a hint: the most innovative ones were not invented by OpenBSD.
The idea that code should communicate intent, whether by comments or other means, is popular and common. It ends up being somewhat difficult to execute. In practice, you have to write code like you write prose. Keep your audience in mind, and be aware of the contextual information available to that audience, and write code that will make sense to your particular audience, ignoring the needs of non-audiences. The tricky part is when your audience includes people in the future. But even how you account for a future of missing design docs and broken links will vary based on things like team composition, business/problem domain, is this open-source or not, etc.
Perf/Energy implications
I’m talking about buying from a reputable third party retailer (Amazon) who reasonably passed the buck for RMA support to meta - and ultimately, if you sell your product in an EU country, or allow the sale of your product in an EU country via a retailer, you are liable to provide support for that product.

I think the broader problem is a lack of societal realization that the purpose of jobs should ideally be to gain training to ultimately become an entrepreneur rather than to stay just a worker. It may help to look at things from this pov. It's okay if you still remain only a worker as long as you keep this in mind. It may nevertheless help you reframe your situation to gain clarity.
It's also a delicious breakfast cereal.
Something isn't adding up. You claim to be a team lead and yet have not seem managers come and go constantly? You have a personality conflict with the manager, but it will only be a couple years. Just live with it.
UK stopped using VHF for TV in the early 1980s, at 405 lines. In the late 1960s the 625 standard started, and went from UHF channel 21 to about 69. TVs didn't support VHF frequencies.

Ch 36 was (is) about 590-600MHz, and wasn't used by any transmitters (neither was 35 or 37, at least until the 1990s when Channel 5 came out)

Generally speaking, "ProductName Version documentation set", where ProductName is one of "VAX/VMS", "VMS", or "OpenVMS", broken up into a variety of sets, subsets, and volumes.

Taking VMS V5.5 as an example, for the complete set, you want the "Extended Set (with Base Set)", order number QA-001AA-GZ.5.5[1].

If I'm counting correctly, this set consists of 143 titles, which is probably closer to 25 feet than 5.

Even if you go back as far as V1.5, the complete set still included around 50 titles[2] — I can't find a list for V1.0 — and unlike the V5.5 set, this one wasn't available on CD-ROM.

If you want to know why the US would have interest in limiting the growth of DJI look no further then Ukraine and the impact drones have on the war. The US wants to encourage domestic drone manufacturing by eliminating the largest Chinese manufacturer as an option.
The GDPR has no teeth to enforce fines outside of its jurisdiction. Which is why it never has despite finding violations.
There is no such thing as "Free Market" when trading with China. Pretty every non-trivial trade with China is in fact a trade with their government, which is anything but a reflection of freedom in any shape of form.

But this isn't simply protectionism. In terms of dollar value and jobs lost, the drone trade is minuscule. It's about military technology and spying - and this is not paranoia, I guess I can't prove it to you, but I can at least say it.
Some manufacturer RVs and DIY builds are 48VDC now with stepdown converters for the legacy stuff that expects 12V. The problem with that is that practically every RV gadget on the market assumes 12V. It's a chicken-and-egg problem.
If the US unfree market for automobiles (hello 2008) can't compete with Chinese state sponsored EVs, should we not do state subsidized EV and battery development here? Isn't electric transport that important?

If the problem is privacy, why don't we legislate privacy instead of banning apps and banning items?

My conspiracy theory would be that the US government doesn't want the citizen to have effective drones for surveillance and recon in the event of civil conflict. They want a Killswitch. (Totally crackpot but it sounds believable).

Yes this is a strange one.

There is no viable competitor to DJI for consumers when it comes to the software side especially -- DJI software is miles ahead of the other drone producers (on-drone and their mobile apps).
"Nice" is a very subjective concept and can be used to describe people in both complimentary and derogatory ways. In my experience niceness and competence are in no way correlated – I have known nice people who were good at their jobs and assholes who were good at their jobs, as well as some of both who were terrible at their jobs. It is perfectly possible to be both competent and nice.

Given the choice between two persons of equal competence, where one is nice and one is not, I would be surprised if anybody chose the less nice one, all other things being equal.

I suggest continuing to be genuine, rather than focusing on "niceness", and not allowing a single comment on the internet to make you feel self-conscious about your character.
> I’d get less professional development potentially (verses leaving) but I could kick back more.

I've left a few "imperfect" jobs that I've regretted, because the next job was worse than the one I left.

IMO: Understand that no company is perfect: Unless you have extensive management experience or a multi-decade career, it's hard to build empathy for what your manager's job requires and their day-to-day challenges. In some cases, criticizing your manager is akin to being a backseat driver; or a "monday morning quarterback" who's never played a day of professional football.

Now that's said, if you really believe that it's best to move on to greener pastures, understand that the software engineering field is in a periodic downturn. Now isn't a good time to find a job. Thus, "if you have a good thing going," stick around for another year or two, and get your resume out there when the industry heats up again. Hopefully, you know how to screen potential employers so you find a job you like better.

Finally: Early in our careers, a lot of us need to "take what we can get." As we advance, we can start to smell unhealthy working environments. I think this is partially why some older engineers take longer to find jobs... We walk away from bad situations that only younger naive engineers will accept.
That's very cool. Love seeing these types of things.

This doesn't mean our food is cheaper. It could mean that we have other budget items that are larger than in other countries, such as healthcare costs. We almost spent more on childcare costs than countries further to the right in that graph.

> You would do statistical analysis of the output.

Assuming reproducible settings are used, that will give you perfect insight into the behavior in the tested circumstances, but unless it lets you reconstruct the entire network, it won't tell you the impact that untested changes even if they are recombinations of tested elements behave. It is not perfect insight into the biases.

> That daemon should be set up by the system administrator.

One of the reasons why nsswitch runs in the client process is that the modules may very well need access to files that are only readable by the user (kerberos tickets...) or in other ways depend on the authority of the user process. Running this as a system-wide daemon makes such things hard to do as it requires reimplementing security checks that simply work in the in-process case and may very well lead to the daemon having to run with particularly high privileges (read arbitrary files, inspect arbitrary processes...).
By the 90s she was probably buying tv/vcr combo sets. Saves on setup, space, gives her monitoring and they weren't that much more expensive
one of the main things I've generalized from programming:

that we must think about everything as if it were two completely disjointed things: what we or the user or the interface does, and how it works... and the potentially completely 'unrelated' reality of what the computer is actually doing

consider for example, git. git has a lot of subcommands we seldom use directly, but all commands we use a lot are always combinations, or rarely scripts, of multiple of them seldomly used git (sub?)commands

the point being, how the mind of the programmer is all about saying and thinking about "git commit" but actually knowing and considering that it really is many runs of "git hash-object" and lots of other git subcommands behind the scenes.... and so on given how there's gonna be syscalls and eventually assembly instructions moving AND COPYING bits all over the computer
After you've sold to the entire addressable market then you should begin maximizing your revenue per customer.
Welcome to the real world. It’s like this at many places. You have to assume that the director and manager go on family picnics together. At these places you get promoted to manager because the guy above you trusts you and for that reason only. Talent can be hired, trust cannot.

Either learn to adapt or leave and join a firm with top tier culture. Do your homework on that.
This is really cool. Sorry to change the topic a bit, but I have been thinking about adapting something like this for a screen that you can place on your desk or work bench to use it as a physical "away message" so that people know where you are when you are not at your desk (i.e. @lunch, @meeting, @microscope, etc..) Ideally, it would connect to wifi so that you can update it remotely.
You mention choosing between "growth" and "kicking back" - that seems to me to be the key question you need to answer. Do you want to be stretched, or take some less stressful "passive work"? Neither answer is bad, and only you can choose.

Once you know the answer to that, my "3 classes of managers" might help you pick a next step.

Good: These managers actively support you. They know how to play whatever games your company has evolved, will support you through tough times, and create growth opportunities that advance your goals (and theirs).

Useless but harmless: These managers are not actively "good", but they won't stop you serving yourself. You'll need to take matters into your own hands, but when you do, they'll support you. They normally know how to play the company games, and are sometimes "good" managers that have burned out or stretched themselves further than they have capacity for. Finding good mentors can help you leverage "Useless but harmless".

Useless and harmful: These managers aren't helping you, but then actively hinder your attempts to help yourself. They'll block your attempts to achieve things - even if they're good for the team. When you go to them for support that only they can provide (e.g. performance reviews), they won't really listen to your feedback.

Sounds like you're somewhere between "Harmless" and "Harmful", and you need to work out which one your situation is closer to. If you've got a "Useless but harmless", then you're fine. Work with them to generate the outcomes you want, trusting that - in general - they'll support you in "self-management". If they're not helping you and preventing you from helping yourself, then - despite being "nice" - they're probably harmful to your own goals (project and personal), and you _might_ want to consider other options.
> Your hosting provider and ISP will see this differently. So will the FTC.

No. They absolutely won't. Not if I'm not breaking any US laws. The EU bitching would have as much impact as a government official from say Narau doing the same. None.

> Your butthurt about the GDPR doesn't absolve you from your obligations under the CAN SPAM act.

No. You are misunderstanding and conflating things. My point is I can do whatever I want so long as I am in compliance with US law including CAN-SPAM, and even if I violate GDPR as much as I want (again, as long as it doesn't violate US law).
That's a very wide range and to build a gadget to take that range would cost more, and thus it's not done.

Most "12 V" gadgets only accept the rough range of what a 12 V battery might give them, which is usually only up to 15.4 V while charging.
I know you're being sarcastic, but even in this linked-list quicksort, it could be made more efficient. By defining lesser and greater separately, you're traversing the list twice. You could compute them at the same time by changing those last two lines to this:

where
(lesser, greater) = partition (< p) xs

If it's a certain formerly-cocaine-infused soft drink, the simple answer is that the vendor continually tests how much the market is willing to pay, and found that it will pay more.

I tried repeatedly to quit that particular product. I've tried grocery store generics. I bought a home soda maker and tried various craft soda syrups online. Nothing tastes the same, or even "close enough" for my palette.

I have managed to drink less of the stuff. I only buy the mini cans now (unless I'm treating myself to a bottle at a convenience store), and try not to have one at all on some days. But the sad fact is, as much as competition is supposed to solve this problem, there is really no alternative for people that are tuned into the taste of that particular brand, so they continue to pay out the ass for it when the vendor jacks up the price year after year.
Is there never a case for that? If I leave my wallet on a table in a public place am I without blame if it gets stolen? She says that what she does is perfectly normal, and then ends by saying she should be protected. Don't store stuff on a device you carry about in public which you would not want others to see.

Is this really better than physical cards? There are electronics here, and electronics tend to go obsolete fast. If the old one is obsolete in a year or two there was so little reuse that everyone is better off with old fashioned paper/plastic. You would have to commit to not coming up with a better model every year - but if you do that someone else will compete by coming out with the better model instead. Which is to say you can't win.

There has been a weird thing going on with soda. Like cosmotic says in the sibling comment, they're often on sale.

But, like, really often and for a different deal each time. One week they may be at the full price, then the next it's "3 for $10.99 (Must buy multiples of 3)", then it'll be "$3.00 off when you buy two", then back to the crazy price.

It's annoying as hell, and all I can guess is that they're segmenting the market across time. The bargain hunters will wait for the sale and stock up (me), the normies will just put it in their cart each week without looking at the price.

But it's been this way for many years. Only in the last couple have I seen the craziness that is $10 for a 12-pack. It used to be ungodly expensive when I saw a 12-pack for $6.99.

So they've been doing this game for a while, and upped the limit when inflation provided cover.

I'm suspicious of this: "the manager is considered incompetent but nice".

I'm suspicious because I immediately wonder who considers them incompetent. Is it their boss, is it everyone else in the organization, or is it just you? My point is that you have a particular lens on their performance, but you probably don't have a synoptic view of everything they do.

Of course, I don't know the details of your situation, but the hypothesis I'd test first is that they may be good at everything in their job description except the one specific thing you mentioned, which is that they're not communicating enough. If you talked to them about their communication, directly and unambiguously telling them how it is affecting your team, and what you expect instead, what happens?
