Abortion passes inflation as top election concern for women under 30, survey finds
  • Price increases seem to take long residence in people's minds. Prices are noticeably way higher than in 2019. Whether wage increases make up for that is kind of beside the point, psychologically. Collectively, big price hikes are traumatic.

    Economists correctly talk about inflation as a rate of price increase, and they correctly consider real wages as a useful metric of well-being. But economists are academics and we use the word "inflation" in a colloquial sense, in a politicized real world, where it means "I have noticed that prices rose is recent memory and every time I go to the store I feel cheated."

    But to be clear, it's not in my top 10 either (mine starts with climate, democracy, and freedom). Just sharing how I see the disconnect on inflation as a hot topic.

  • "Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime..."
  • I know this is a meme community and probably not the right place to ask. But the meme prompted my question and I promise this is a good faith question.

    If labor is entitled to all it creates (i agree! In principle), who determines what that is? For example - someone operating an injection molding machine might "create" a million doodads in a year. But the machine and the material and the electricity and the QA of those doodads are all created/done by someone else. How is that divvied up?

    Personally I am leaning toward UBI funded by a capital tax, along with a functional labor market, as kind of a solution here. But I'd appreciate any easy-to-digest references.

  • 3D printed cloverleaf antenna maker
  • A drone operator usually is not standing directly under the drone, so no. Or alternately, the drone if probably further away from you horizontally than vertically during most of its operation.

    One interesting thing here is that, for a given altitude, the antenna gain will be higher the further away the drone is.

  • House refinanced 3x
  • Is there any evidence the money was used inappropriately or stolen? How was she paying her living expenses? How confident are you that she shouldn't have needed the cash just to live?

  • Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon when pagers explode
  • I would love to see a detailed technical explanation for how this would be possible.

    I design battery-powered electronics for a living and I can't think of any design that would let a battery explode with the violence these did, let alone on command. Unless it were deliberate.

  • Protests and a major workers' strike are planned in Israel after more hostage deaths in Gaza
  • NYTimes reports that IDF claims Hamas killed them shortly before they were found. I thought I recalled seeing elsewhere that they were claimed to have been shot, but I can't find that source at the moment.

    Of course, how credible is the IDF?

  • Why did my PLA crumble after 6 weeks idle in my printer?

    I left a spool of eSun PLA+ beige in my Prusa MK4 with Prusa enclosure, which has sat idle since my last print about 6 weeks ago. The enclosure has a PTFE filament feed tube that runs the filament from the spool to the extruder.

    Today I went to change the filament, and it broke apart in several pieces, right at the ends of the ptfe filament feed tube. The filament on the spool itself - within an inch of where it simply separated from the broken bits - I can fold over 180° tight without breaking it. Even the several ~1" lengths of broken bits are similarly ductile.

    Ambient humidity is something like 15% (per my filament dryer) to 30% (per my dehumidifier, which is idle because it's winter).

    Any idea why this happened? I'm curious about maybe interactions with the PETG parts that the broken pieces were close to (that's the only thing I can come up with, anyway).

    Benchtop current sense amplifier?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a benchtop current sense amplifier?

    Sure, there are current sense breakout boards and whatnot. But what I'd like is a convenient device that I can use to instrument a circuit and then monitor its current with my oscilloscope or logic analyzer (Saleae with analog input) along with other signals in the circuit.

    Ideal features might be:

    • Banana jack inputs and outputs
    • Selectable range / sensitivity / sense resistor
    • Isolated measurement, so I can measure high-side or low-side currents without worrying too much about the common connection on my scope
    • Selectable or automatic power source selection, between circuit-powered and externally-powered

    I haven't seen anything like this in a few targeted searches, and just wondering if someone has any suggestions I might have missed.
