Infernal

Oh man, I distinctly remember being in grade school in the early 90's and fellow students trying to convince me that "We Will Rock You" was a New Kids on the Block original. Me and my dad's vinyl collection knew better, but no one really believed me.

Indeed, I am not a fan of the office myself but since it was on the air in the mid-late 00's (USA) I have heard several people assume that "that's what she said" was a joke invented by the show's writers.

Look at what you did there.

The author does mention this possibility in one of the final paragraphs, that maybe every actor in the film /except/ Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis look different in the Ocean's 12 universe - it seems to be what the film wants the audience to think, and though it's a bit silly, so are the films :)

Yes, my kids love our local AA baseball team. Tickets < $15, various bounce houses and generic carnival type things for the kids, but something to break up the game for a bit when they get tired of sitting. No idea what an equivalent MLB outing would cost, but I don't care either as the closest one is 3-3.5 hours away, vs. 20 minutes to our AA ballpark.

Knowing what I know of Qubes, and reading that post - I think they mean lots of folks are using it for their workstations. Qubes doesn't really make sense on a server, which is how I'd normally read "infrastructure".

That’s a great looking life you’ve got there, full of promise… it’d be a shame if anything happened to it.

>> - Configuration profiles cannot be installed, and the device cannot enroll into mobile device management (MDM), while Lockdown Mode is turned on.

> HMM ... there are hardening settings only available through Configurator or MDM profiles. Will those be defaulted on as well?

Reading between the lines here - on lockdown mode, you can't install a profile, or enroll in MDM. What it doesn't say, is that you can't enable lockdown mode with a profile installed, or if enrolled in MDM.

I take this to mean, with lockdown turned on, I can't install profiles or enroll in MDM (but presumably could uninstall profiles or unenroll from MDM).

I feel like the analogy has to be fleshed out with the caveat that "turning the engine off" kills some > 50% of the people in the confined space right away.

Bit of title gore here, I was thinking of the security experts that must run the alarm systems at the Fed (what with their precious metal holdings and all) and wondering why access to those experts would be blocked and why crypto companies would need alarms experts anyway…

To be fair, those bullets are prefaced with "Of course, as a good salesperson, I would have to avoid some topics because this would make the customer lose interest into OpenBSD"

On a close listen, you find out that the "electric outdoor barbecue" is electric by dint of electric starter and electric motorized rotisserie. Sounds like even the "electric barbecue" runs on charcoal or gas.

I was in high school when "The Ladders" commercials came out in the US. It was a job board for high earners. I remember the tag line "100k jobs for 100k talent", this was in the early 2000's. It stuck with me because this was several multiples of the household income of anyone in my extended family, and I couldn't imagine ever making that much money or what those people's lives must be like.

Then ~5 years ago I crossed the 100k barrier myself, though it didn't feel that momentous or impactful. Earlier this year I looked up the rate of inflation since those commercials, turns out that 100k when they were airing would be more like 160k now...

Can you explain why it would be faster to hold I-bonds in a trust?

I got excited about the J&J app, but requires creating an account to use it at all, and for some reason the iCloud “hide my email” isn’t available on the account creation page.

Both of these pretty much make my point. To the first complaint, no iPad specific improvements: here we are 8 years later, 3 years into enough iPad specific improvements to rename the OS, and with enough computational resources to make use of them without buying a new device.

To the second, poor multitasking - this has been constantly improved since the days of iOS 8 and again, due to the spec of the device, those software improvements are available with no waste or additional purchase needed.

I’m not sure what alternative you would want here - a device half the initial cost that you have to replace 2-3 times between 2014 and now to use the same software updates? Or is the argument just that 2022 software should’ve already existed in 2014?

Trying to look at the other side, this is how you still support machines like the iPad Air 2 released in 2014…

Good luck finding a Faraday cage without a built in LTE modem these days.

Can you give some examples of this? The first that comes to mind is patent law.

This is the whole story. You can tell that game consoles, baby formula, and GPUs are under-priced, because it is worth spending hundreds of dollars and hours/weeks of dev time /on top of/ the too low price, just to get your hands on them for resale.

I think people get confused, because the effect of a spike in demand or a decrease in supply can look the same, from a pricing standpoint, as collusion amongst multiple retailers - but we're not talking about gas stations across the street from each other agreeing not to sell below X price, this is a massively distributed phenomenon, which again goes to show that it is a genuine reflection of the mis-pricing of goods in the current market.

The real tragedy when it comes to shortages of goods with inelastic demand, like baby formula, is that the various price gouging laws that prevent traditional retailers from correctly pricing items in the face of shortages, do nothing to actually control the price - in fact, they introduce a lot of inefficiency, and opportunity for counterfeits etc. I would much rather pay triple/quadruple at Target or Walmart than pay 0 because I'm looking at an empty shelf, or pay quintuple to some rando on eBay who may or may not actually be selling a genuine product.

Genuinely curious why the increasing money supply is not on this list.

Rather than downvote I’ll explain - when you hit save you are given an HTML file with the page as edited. It is not edited in place.

What is .74C? $.0074?

It’s not clear to me what the difference in definition is - even reading the CS definition on Wikipedia, both cases reference the mathematical definition. What am I missing?

I think a lot of the sibling comments here misunderstand the concept of labor-backed money (rather than debt-backed money, which we have in the United States today).

First - currency is the physical note, coin, IOU, etc. Money is the concept.

With debt-backed money like the US dollar, the money is created by a private bank (the Federal Reserve) in exchange for US Treasury bonds - debt.

The currency supply is controlled by the US Treasury, but the money supply is controlled by the Federal Reserve.

Labor-backed money as I understand it, would be created by the Treasury in exchange for labor. The Treasury would control the supply of both money and currency. Crucially, to create money, labor must be performed. Similar to debt-based money, where debt is created by the government as the basis of money - in this case, labor would be "created" by the price (in new money) offered for it.

There is no need to have some centrally-planned, mandated valuation of a certain tradesman's time vs another trade or profession - the government puts out lots of contracts for bid today with no such mechanism in place, and it wouldn't need to change.

I recall being in an 8 v 8 LAN game, team living room had 2 TVs and team dining room had 2 TVs.

Not so much can’t as may not, to be clear. Presumably they’re fine skaters.

Similarly, Brodus was napping at the frat house when he got the call during pre-game warmups to come suit up.
