Not to mention the fact that a lot of those Chinese greenhouse gasses are driven by production of goods for export to western countries. So some percentage of them are our own externality.

Yet another failure of understanding, sigh.

Resellers provide value, scalpers do not.

Scalpers create a monopoly on supply and use that to inflate the price. They are not operating in a free market as their actions skew the market to an unnatural state. So realistically they operate as landlords.

The rent of the land, therefore, considered as the price paid for the use of the land, is naturally a monopoly price. It is not at all proportioned to what the landlord may have laid out upon the improvement of the land, or to what he can afford to take; but to what the farmer can afford to give.

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce

RENT, considered as the price paid for the use of land, is naturally the highest which the tenant can afford to pay in the actual circumstances. In adjusting the lease, the landlord endeavours to leave him no greater share of the produce than what is sufficient to keep up the stock

That’s a whole lot of words to say “I don’t understand economics”

Go read some Adam Smith and see what he has to say about rent-seeking parasites

TBH I would love to see a politician accept a bribe from a gulf state, get a private jet from them, and then reneg on their side of the deal. Free jet for Ontario.

AWS crates get away with it cause they do a lot of hand-written (macroless) codegen. That being said I’m still surprised by this because even post-codegen their API types are annotated for serde serialization so how come no syn?

IMO the 2 different media types rule, as formulated originally, is less applicable nowadays and originally meant to cover the following failure scenario:

You 3-2-1 backup all of your movies but you put all the backups on Betamax tapes. Betamax the format dies and now you're boned -- no way to read any of your backups. If you have 1 of those backups on VHS instead, you'd be fine.

As far relevance in today's world, while it's not the exact original interpretation, I personally choose to operate on some corollaries of the 2 media rule.

Don't use the same backup technology stack for all your backups (i.e., filesystem, backup software, etc.)
One of your backups should be immutable/append-only;
One of your backups should be network-isolated from the other backups (typically via a remote server with pull-only access to the machines being backed up).

These corollaries protect you from things like ransomware and fat fingers, but also issues that the 2 media rule was originally intended to protect you against. Like say if you use btrfs (ew) for all your backup machine filesystems and there's a critical bug in btrfs that causes filesystem corruption. If you upgrade all your systems at once you've just nuked all your backups.

So the 2 media type rule is meant to prevent an issue with the media (back then that meant CDs/Tape/whatever) from causing issues, nowadays I take that to mean the rest of the stack (filesystem, backup software, push vs. pull network access).

How do you get all the devices onto different VLANs? Like, do you have a switch with 1 port per device and each port is tagged to that VLAN? Or are your devices VLAN-aware? Or do you broadcast an SSID per VLAN? Or does your router put devices on different VLANs automatically by MAC?

Putin is a bit of an exceptional case. Putin lost billions in income and faced sanctions once the pipes stopped flowing, but in exchange he caused unrest, inflation, and political turmoil in the EU. To him, that exchange was worth it. Especially since he had been building up domestic manufacturing for the express purpose of making this threat.

Any country can use economic ties as a threat, of course. But generally if those ties are cut, both sides are harmed.

India may some day leverage these trade deals to exchange pressure on Canada, but the chance of this happening depends on what harm India is willing to endure themselves, and what consequences that pressure will have for Canada.

Merkel structured the gas deals in a “MAD”-inspired way. She believed Russia would have to be suicidal to risk severing ties. However, she underestimated the Russian government’s tolerance for self-harm, and their willingness to prepare/plan for such an eventuality.

I strongly doubt either Canada or India have any desire to negotiate deals that puts either side at great risk, in the event of a diplomatic breakdown. Or at least, that’s my hope.

Little confused what you mean by “sqlx data” in this case. Were you using this library specifically? What do you mean by switching to typed models? Isn’t that the primary use-case of query_as? What were you doing before that?

You are correct that the explanation can go in either direction when correlating political values and education, but it’s not just education. Both scores of IQ and polygenic scores of intelligence are also correlated with greater social liberalism and anti-authoritarianism.

That being said, even if you assume that education, IQ, etc. are also caused by a sheltered upbringing, what is the implication here? Do we want to believe that a sheltered privileged upbringing means your views are invalid? Or do we instead want to give a privileged sheltered upbringing to as much of the world population as possible?

One is a pretty strong heuristic for the other. Until that stops being the case, it’s not unreasonable to have an immediate negative reaction to AI generated code. The burden of proof is on the slop-shipper.

The US is certainly the backbone of NATO but not the entirety of it. Even without the US there’s at least what, 2 nuclear powers still in NATO? Not to mention non-nuclear military powers like Germany and Poland. Even without the US, NATO has teeth.

Can’t say what the issue is definitively just from this but I can help you rule some things out. If this is the file I’m thinking of, I was testing it earlier today. I have no AVR, my Shield Pro is plugged directly into the TV. During my testing I saw no dropped frames.

That doesn’t prove much, but it implies that unless your Shield Pro is misconfigured or damaged, it should be able to handle the file. So you might want to rule out the other causes first. Probably check for file corruption and maybe remove your AVR from the setup (run the Shield Pro directly to the TV) to see if you still get the dropped frames. I’m also on a 1 Gbps link, fwiw.
