Yeah I think this might actually be backwards; the Soviet Union had explicit production targets, and (iirc) in like the 70s they actually had more industrial output than the US. Remember the "missile gap," when the US was concerned that the industrial might of the USSR would bury the US?

But the output was mismatched to demand; it was a classic example of "when the measurement becomes the target, it ceases to become a good measurement" -- the centrally-planned industrial targets were inefficient, so a lot of that industrial production went to waste.

And to be fair, this is what's hard about economics: you can't just count tractors, or tons of steel, or whatever, as the output of an economy. Because every marginal ton of steel matters a different amount based on demand. The genius of capitalism (yes, I said it!) is it is an extremely elegant system for optimizing an incredibly high-dimensional system with a slippery, dynamic cost function, by incentivizing a bunch of independent agents to collaborate in price setting (and therefore sending signals about production via pricing, vis a vis supply and demand).

This is also why China's economy has done better than the USSR; let's not forget that Deng Xiaoping's "limited market reforms" helped unleash the modern Chinese economy. The structural issues in the Chinese economy now stem from the lack of development of consumer demand, which does echo some of what the USSR struggled from. But China has come very far; the criticisms of its current economy that I like best are well-articulated by Michael Pettis, fwiw. But I'd encourage you to do your own reading and form your own opinions.

I had a really shitty customer support interaction for a $60 Brother scanner: they included the wrong calibration sheet, and proceeded to attempt gas lighting me about user error despite photos showing it didn't fit in the scanner under any orientation. Replacements were $20 shipped, but out of stock anyway. Needless to say, that changed my mind about which manufacturer to make an expensive purchase from.

It was Wikipedia that reminded me Xerox even existed. All my other research led to the usual shitlist: HP, Canon, Brother, etc. No problems on Linux and Mac (printing and scanning), which is seems par these days, but no problems on Windows either: the manufacturer app was completely optional (but was straight to the point, functional, and worth the install).

Xerox color lasers have my glowing recommendation.
What you are saying is Russian propaganda.

Nearly every country that has been attacked has forced conscription. The US did during WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and we weren't even attacked in 3 of those.

Were we authoritarian then?
...their equipment is terrible (they are using donkeys)...

I protest: donkeys are NOT terrible!

In fact donkeys are absolutely one of the best means of transport in the Ukraine conflict: donkeys maintain themselves, are loyal to their trainers and are reliable. If you allow them to guide themselves, they will almost always move you away from regions of conflict (i.e., they are self-guided and smart).

Furthermore donkeys are by their nature not instruments of war: there are no "attack donkeys" in this or other conflicts. Donkeys are animals of peace.

Launching V0 of AI Agents to Find You Great AI Engineers
After spending over two years in the recruitment space, talking to hundreds of recruiters and hiring managers and thousands of talented engineers, I was shocked by the inefficiencies in hiring:

Recruiters spend 2000+ hours/year just reviewing profiles and gathering basic details—yet, on average, they tend to spend 100+ hours per hire!
Candidates juggle job hunting alongside their full-time work, applying, messaging recruiters, and facing 90% rejection rates—investing 100+ hours per year with little success.

It’s time for a smarter approach.

At Aikin, we’re making hiring effortless. Today, we’re rolling out Aikin Agents for Companies V0—an AI-driven recruiter that scouts, engages, and delivers top AI engineer profiles to your inbox—just like an in-house recruiter, but faster and cost-efficient.

For companies: Sign up here → https://forms.gle/UVM6t5dP2dv85DFP7
For candidates: Create your personal AI recruiter here → https://agent.aikin.club (WhatsApp-powered). Your AI agent will find jobs, engage with companies, schedule interviews, and more—while you focus on your career.

We’re just getting started! Would love your thoughts and feedback. Let’s build the future of hiring together.
Lite uses Manifest v3 and this is limited in what it can do, and how quickly it can adapt.

attiny85 is pretty interactive, it has full debugging capabilities (via RST pin no less, so no taking away precious GPIO). And with cycle times of <30 seconds, printf-based debugging (or more often, LED+button based debugging) becomes very feasible too.

When comparing with old machines, you just need to look not just at the chip itself, but at the whole package - attiny85 + ICE + host PC using to program it. You know how original VAX-11 included a whole separate PDP-11 computer just for booting and diagnostic? It's the same with attiny85, it needs a whole separate computer for program upload and debugging. The fact that this "program upload" computer is many magnitudes faster does not really matter.

As for audience / social aspect, I don't think this is coming back - the choice is simply too big now. When Commodore was the only option, everyone had to use it. But now some people like python, some like small MCUs, some do websites, some do JS demos, some do robotics, etc... - so there is less chance that you'll find room full of homogeneous computers.

(and RP2040's manual is 642 pages, substantially bigger, so one is less likely to know it all by heart. At least it's better than STM32 family, where some devices have multiple thousands pages of documentation)

I get tired of people talking about how the US doesn't "make anything". I spent my adult life creating software that was super valuable. Along the way I worked with a bunch of people (from all over the world) who-- because of their brains and their education-- could have made almost anything very well. They didn't make steel or automobiles because that wasn't where their skills were best deployed.

I'm an American software engineer living in Tokyo with 5+ years of professional experience (plus an additional 15+ years of hobbyist experience!). I got my start in high school uploading Flash games to Newgrounds, and learned early on to love the work that I do.

I'm a strong believer in local-first, interoperable, configurable software. I'm seeking to work on a product built to empower users, not lock them in.

I'm particularly interested in working on: rich document editors, programming languages & developer tools, game dev & simulation.

I think some people need to step back and ponder what's the purpose of economics? Why do we even study it? What are we hoping to achieve in analyzing it?

I can only think it began with the philosophy for making better decisions, solving problems, and improving society - particularly in the allocation of its resources.

As so, I think a huge part of the problem with economics, including most economists, is that people equate value for wealth. Value certainly is subjective, I mean, do you value having $80k, or a nice car? How about a pool, or a boat? Do you value your time less than the cost of a flight? All very subjective. But I think it's flawed to conflate value for wealth. Wealth is something real, the things you are evaluating in trade. Time is wealth. Money is wealth. Oil is wealth. Land is wealth. Why don't we simply measure these things, and how they're allocated? IMO, it seems more practical and more noble of pursuit to figuring out if someone actually needs food in society, rather than what people with plenty of resources ascribe their values to.
you're wrong. Kind of.

i installed windows 11 without a cloud login. Without a CD key. I actually ran the windows installer 3 times since you commented and i first replied. So i kinda lost track of what it was doing this time - i didn't notice it said it was going to reboot before the screen went black, i missed that it was waiting for input with the language selection. But i didn't edit the video at all, so you can scrub around and make sure. Ignore my dig at the end, like i said, i installed windows 3 times.

I actually have a microsoft account because i use the xbox for windows and copilot. I don't use it to log in to windows - and even if i reinstalled i'd use the regular ISO and log in and then dis-associate my account with my windows install after it finished installing, as microsoft says you can do inside the installer

Well, in "real politics" terms, the Russian narrative becomes "we stole this fair and square - we conquered this much territory, it has historically been ours, so you should make a treaty giving us this and we're done" whereas the Ukraine's narrative is basically "Russia holding that territory is unjust and fundamentally violates the democratic aspirations of the people there, so we need X many years of war and X thousand dead to regain that land".

Which is to say Ukrainian narrative is hard to embrace unless someone is already energized by a need for justice to nations, which might not be certain segment of America.

Mox's FAQ addresses this question:

https://www.xmox.nl/faq/#hdr-won-t-the-big-email-providers-b...

Won't the big email providers block my email?

It is a common misconception that it is impossible to run your own email server nowadays. The claim is that the handful big email providers will simply block your email. However, you can run your own email server just fine, and your email will be accepted, provided you are doing it right.

If your email is rejected, it is often because your IP address has a bad email sending reputation. Email servers often use IP blocklists to reject email networks with a bad email sending reputation. These blocklists often work at the level of whole network ranges. So if you try to run an email server from a hosting provider with a bad reputation (which happens if they don't monitor their network or don't act on abuse/spam reports), your IP too will have a bad reputation and other mail servers (both large and small) may reject messages coming from you. During the quickstart, mox checks if your IPs are on a few often-used blocklists. It's typically not a good idea to host an email server on the cheapest or largest cloud providers: They often don't spend the resources necessary for a good reputation, or they simply block all outgoing SMTP traffic. It's better to look for a technically-focused local provider. They too may initially block outgoing SMTP connections on new machines to prevent spam from their networks. But they will either automatically open up outgoing SMTP traffic after a cool down period (e.g. 24 hours), or after you've contacted their support.

After you get past the IP blocklist checks, email servers use many more signals to determine if your email message could be spam and should be rejected. Mox helps you set up a system that doesn't trigger most of the technical signals (e.g. with SPF/DKIM/DMARC). But there are more signals, for example: Sending to a mail server or address for the first time. Sending from a newly registered domain (especially if you're sending automated messages, and if you send more messages after previous messages were rejected), domains that existed for a few weeks to a month are treated more friendly. Sending messages with content that resembles known spam messages.

Should your email be rejected, you will typically get an error message during the SMTP transaction that explains why. In the case of big email providers the error message often has instructions on how to prove to them you are a legitimate sender.

Getting it going was fun, staying on top and maintaining it isn't really...
This is probably a key thing which gets buried in the details. Potential value and actual realized value of a resource can be really different depending on the opportunities. Individuals rarely exists in isolation, every time they do better, they impact others in positive way, sort of uplifting everyone around them by some margin.

A simple manifestation of this is how we start up coal fire. The idea is similar, bring the hot blocks together so they produce a lot more heat which in turn heats up the entire coal load. Move away the red hot blocks to isolation and the fire would die away in no time.
This is without a doubt the greatest piece of "economism" I have ever read. "MoNeY sUpPly" is a simplistic talking point. Supply shocks played a major role in post-pandemic inflation, along with the increase in money supply. The guy literally goes on about Supply/demand, and then says it is not a factor in inflation because; "You see price going up due to supply shocks is not inflation because now my daddy is in White House, and he's causing a supply shock"

Tariffs on elastic goods and services will lead to equilibrium. Tarriffs on inelastic goods like Oil, Steel, and Timber will not. People need to drive cars, build cars, heat homes, build homes, and maintain those homes and cars using these materials. At least in the short term, US consumers will see price increases.

It is the "Drill baby drill" School of Delusionomics. People who don't understand anything twisting themselves via mental gymnastics to justify their ridiculous belief; that Donald Trump knows what he is doing.

The guy still says "China will pay the tariff".

Is it worth the effort for any individual poster though?
The unreachable segment (read only, doesn't comment) which already makes up the vast majority of audience is practically un-engageable.
Among commenters, there's the blend of low-effort 'this'-type posts, soliloquizers (though possible therapeutic for the poster), and lizardman-constant/flame type reactions.
It seems that in most venues, the effort to read through all comments and find anything valuable to engage with has a low social ROI.

I’m curious - I wouldn’t describe myself as “pro tariff” at all, but I can see a good case for them in a couple circumstances; 1) in cases where production is important for national security - e.g. sufficient production of Calories and 2) in cases where off-shored production isn’t meeting standards around human rights, environmental protection, etc.

Do you see a case for tariffs otherwise?

Because NAFTA is the brainchild of Reagan. Bush Sr worked out most of the policy with CA/MX. Finally, Clinton signed it into law, with little influence on the policies overall.
>It was through Trump's unilateral decision, which is illegal. The money was appropriated by our representatives from our tax dollars, and we want it to go. The President doesn't have the right under the Constitution and the law to halt it.

This is a shortcutted, half correct view.

Impoundment Is generally illegal and/or unconstitutional.

However,

IF a Congressional directive to spend were to interfere with the President’s authority in an area confided by the Constitution to his substantive direction and control, such as his authority as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and his authority over foreign affairs . . . a situation would be presented very different from [a domestic impoundment]. [0]

The basis of this is used in Supreme Court opinion of [1] as discussed in [2]:

If the president may impound appropriations that invade his recognition power, it follows that he may likewise do so when Congress infringes on other exclusive powers, such as that of chief diplomat. ... Similarly, the impoundment power may extend to the president’s core and exclusive powers as commander-in-chief.

The trouble here is youre trying to shut off powers that intersect congress and the president by assuming congress can override article 2 [3] powers through military aid funding mandates. Military impoundment goes all the way to Jefferson. There is strong basis to believe Trump's military aid impoundment is constitutional exercise of the mandate of the democratic voice electing him.

You should do whatever you want with your hands, but you should be aware that not moving your hands is bad for ergonomics. It promotes static posture and staying in one position for too long can cause muscle stiffness and strain. Moving around promotes blood flow and reduces fatigue. Consistent doing a small set of motions (ie never moving your hands) is what leads to RSI.

Of course, a bad setup is a bad setup, and if you're moving your hands a lot because your workspace is poorly setup, you'll also have issues.

For best results, you'll want to keep your hand movements natural and comfortable and your tools within easy reach. Take short breaks to move your hands, as well as your entire body.
It's a strange article because it's focused on health care workers but personally I also feel a bit of MFA fatigue as an IT professional. Right now in my authenticator app on my business phone I have around a dozen accounts. It IS getting a bit tedious.

I think it's probably worth learning a little bit about economic history before talking about the benefits of the gold standard. Before the fed was created, the US economy was constantly booming and busting. There were recessions every few years in the 19th century [0].

In certain contexts, waiting for redelivery is unacceptable performance. Some people lose lots of money if they aren't in the loop. Imagine a group email chain, the CEO is asking questions, everyone is responding immediately - except you.
It's a choice. tmux uses the "alternate screen" capability, the same way editors like "vi" do, which (according to man tmux): "preserves the contents of the window when an interactive application starts and restores it on exit, so that any output visible before the application starts reappears unchanged after it exits."

To change that behavior, put the following in your tmux.conf:

set -g terminal-overrides '*:smcup@:rmcup@'
set -g status off
That's perhaps because you have been self-hosting that long. One of the advises given to new self-hosters these days is to start sending mail to your your friends' email accounts that are hosted by the bigtech. Then you have to contact each one and ask them to mark it as not-spam, so that some day your mails will go to their inboxes, rather than the spam folder.

Honestly, I don't think that DKIM/DMARC has made the situation any better. In fact, spamassassin and rspamd often seems to work better than their spam filters in identifying actual spam.
