Oooohhh! Here’s a good one on this subject! https://youtu.be/wBBnfu8N_J0

Best advice I’ve got: If you qan manage it, try to catch a power nap about mid day. It won’t make up for the sleep lost, but will make coping with it more tolerable!

It reminds me of this tradition. Especially this quote from a modern incident “Successfully counting coup disgraces your opponent. It’s a way of publicly shaming them. We believe that if you are shamed, you must admit defeat.” It makes me wonder how much of the motivation for the incidents is internal consumption. Acting aggresively, but in a carefully crafted way to avoid an escalated response. The message sent internally that the other side restrains themselaee not out of reason, but fear.

Seeing the world through this lens has been both freeing and disheartening…

It’s been wonderful to find a home here! Hoping for many more cake days for all of us here in this friendly little corner of our beloved blue marble!

You can’t polish a turd; you can roll it in glitter.

Huh? Checks Woozy’s profile Oh. Well that makes sense.

That’s new daily installs though, so cumulative number. I don’t think they’re trying to draw a comparison, just show the increase.

Oddly enough, I have the same neglected side project for the same reasons! I’m at work at the moment but will post what I have so far later. I’ll also walk through my aporoach to be noob friendly and cost effective.

This may be a good place to start. Most states (that I’m aware of) have workforce development programs with both online tools and physical offices with available assistance. For most state governments it is beneficial to retain high skilled and high paid workers as part of their tax base, and provide employment opportunities to low skilled and low experience workers to increase their contribution to the community.

You should be able to find automated notification tools on their web offerings (or even an available api), and their physical locations can be excellent resources for developing soft connections with the proffesional community in your field.

Best of luck in your search!

What are the root causes of that deflation though? I would posit the over extension of the Chinese economy in an effort to mimic “Number go up” results without the required fundamentals (see evergrande).

I see “inflation is good” parroted a lot, without much analysis as to why. I understand how continual inflation is a major driver of modern western economies, and those steering those economies require it to support current polocies and the general status quo. However, that being said, I fail to see how that makes it required for things to be “OK”.

The price of a raspberry “inflates” in the winter, and “deflates” when in season. The price of commodity consumer electronics is in a continual state of deflation, as new teohnology emerges. At the microcosm prices move in both directions frequently, and are just deemed adjustments. Why then, at the macro scale is a continual increase in pricing considered a sign of economic health?

Reminds me of this but with grain. Wonder who the guy on the riright is in this situation.

There needs to be a version of this rewritten to “It’s not money laundering!” the reasoning is about the same.

When’s the last time the US saw significant deflation? The 30’s? Can’t say I blame them for their fear. But they’ll see no sympathy from me! We’ve seen two whole generations born, raised, and passing away in the age of “Number always go up!” business. At least the greatest generation grew up hearing stories of difficult times when it was the unions and collectives that brought them through the darkness. I’m sure current business leadership has no clue how to face this. It’s passed out of living memory.

Reminds me of using graphing calculators back in highschool. “Can we use it on the test?” “Sure! But remember, it will only help you if you know how to check your work and bother to do so.” Automating anything blindly carries the risk of unending buckets of water or a universe of paperclips. Trouble is, it seems like a fair number of folks are confusing automation with delegation.

I’m more worried about innocent bystanders tbh…
