  • It’s probably a problem with the UEFI, the windows info got overwritten, and you can probably fix this with efibootmgr

    It happened to me too, but unfortunately it was some years ago and I’m not at home to find the related notes that I took. I remember there was a windows utility to rewrite the boot loader. But probably in your case the boot partition is still okay, just the UEFI entry got overwritten and you just have to add it back manually.

    Check the troubleshooting section of the wiki page to have a tip on the windows booting location


  • The whole information is in this paragraph:

    The central bank’s governing council gave unanimous support to October’s decision to cut rates by 0.25 percentage points to 3.25 per cent, arguing that “the disinflationary trend was getting stronger” and that it was important to avoid “harming the real economy by more than was necessary”.

    The rest is basically padding and speculation, which can be summarized with:

    “On december there could be a cut up to 50 points, or none, no one knows because we have no idea what is going to happen and we are going in blind. The growth was higher than expected (.4 instead of .2) but the inflation was too (2, instead of 1.7).”

    What a time to be alive. I’m not worried at all about the future.


  • Nice data, but I think we should take a broader view too:

    I semi randomly picked India because it is part of BRICS and had a similar economic trajectory: It is quite interesting playing with all those nobs and labels.

    In this context I think PPP - which you showed - is a good indicator of the internal quality of living, but as far as I understand it, it has an hard time showing the difference in quality and standards of the consumer products between countries, so a dip in nominal GDP is an interesting context with the PPP adjusted rise. Less expensive things, because they are less regulated?

    Aside from that Russia has almost completely pivoted to a war economy which, as far as I know, tends to give a big initial boost but it stresses and makes the real (for lack of a better term) economy crash in the long run.

    What do you think about this? It is an interesting topic.



  • Reading the full thread was stressful enough, I don’t even want to image what it was like to live it.

    Now I understand why the company is so against unionizing, all this stuff would pretty quickly explode in their face. It’s straight up abuse that should be met by the full force of the legal system.

    What the fuck is wrong with people that makes them think that if you have the smallest modicum of power over someone else it’s your god given right to be an asshole, a sexual predator or just generally toxic.

    I don’t get it.
