Yes, I meant in the short-term, in the context of a single firm being able to practice it, and how it would affect its profit margins. In the long run both wage maximization and profit maximization aligns with social utility maximization, which we achieve through the establishment of a free market where all interactions are mutually voluntary.

Well I'm a consumer so I'm automatically qualified to comment. If Google voice were so innovative and amazing it would be something I wish I could get.

For example, I do wish I could have VLC, but it's pretty obvious why I can't. This is the trade off of controlling your channels. Apple can't just say "well, we let this app on and if people want to use it to watch 'illegal' movies, there's nothing we can do about it", since they very well can do something about it. Android, with their open architecture probably can't block things like VLC so they can't be held responsible for people using it.

The US Trademark and Patent Office is expected to take a pro-copyright stance. The "Administration" reference, refers to Eric Holder's petition to Congress here: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/493524-AG_Holder_Ju...

>>> Asked by Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.) why Justice felt it needed that expanded power, Holder said that sometimes such streaming involves thousands and millions of dollars. He said that Justice wasn't looking to turn streaming from a misdemeanor to a crime, but that in some cases it needed that added power "consistent with the nature of the harm."

At most, the "Obama Administration" (specifically, Eric Holder) feels like some forms of streaming need to be punished more harshly. It seems like pirating a live performance is less punishable than pirating anything else.
the taste is pretty bad and lingers for a while - why not just get pills?
One of the things to understand about Intel's case is that they were never a foundry. Instead, their process leadership was wielded as a weapon to ensure that their devices maintained performance leadership.

In that sense it was almost irrelevant to the rest of the market what node Intel had achieved, since nobody else had access to it. Similarly, because it was core to their business model, the foundry business itself was not very cost sensitive; as long as the process tech was exclusive and enabled them to make the world's best processors, they could extract princely sums for the final products.

This has fundamentally changed in a way that will not revert. First, we have reached the "end of Moore's Law": process improvements will still continue, but no longer at a pace such that process leadership guarantees performance leadership. Second, without this guarantee of performance leadership, Intel's entire manufacturing operations are having a crisis of purpose. Their manufacturing operations are much less cost-effective than TSMC because that efficiency was never really a major driving force in the past (and to some extent was at odds with the goal of innovation and leadership).

Without the serious prospect of regaining a performance advantage, Intel will probably not be investing the kind of money needed to displace TSMC in process leadership. Instead the focus is going to be on making sure their existing fabs are not stranded assets and figuring out how to effectively compete on price/performance without a persistent process advantage.

I think one of the big issues is the performance of the disk. At 200 MB/s (which is generous for a spinning disk) it would take more than 24 hours to read all the data from the disk.

With those kind of performance characteristics, I suspect that it makes redundancy and checking for integrity much more complicated.
If that's the case, and not a deliberate aggressive strategy to acquire users ("bait and switch"), Colab users playing with GPT on free TPUs and GPUs should be by far the most worried.

The cost of storage at Google's scale is low. GPUs/TPUs are another thing entirely.

This article is a piece of trash, and so is the report it's based on. The report was talking about the entirety of phone towers and datacenters and servers. You can't blame the entire internet on phones.

This architecture is called a manycore processor. There are several programming paradigms that are researched for it, among others actor languages, where the idea is to run parts of your program on different cores that communicate with each other.

Finding the optimal execution time of an arbitrary program is equivalent to the halting problem. [1] If you narrow the “arbitrary” constraint to only include well-structured, analyzable, guaranteed-to-terminate programs, then you can at least start to approximate a solution. Finding the true optimal case, even under those conditions, would be computationally expensive.

Thank you for advocating for the continued erosion of user rights with regards to hardware they own. How about we stop tethering devices to manufacturer servers and reserve that for optional, over-the-top features?
A practical self-test would be to enter up your last years tax return as is and compare the assessment to what you actual assessment was.

> So if I understand correctly, Latin characters aren't used for loanwords like this in written text?

It happens in casual text - WhatsApp forwards, SMS messages. But for official writing - you pick a language and stick to it, as much as possible. This made more than a few notices impossibly hard to read when I was in college, because the Hindi felt archaic, even if it wasn't.

Other countries had a rich culture of research and scientific literature published in native languages. India never got that to a national scale, because India has hundreds of languages[0] so any efforts were local. A paper published in Tamil would be unreadable by folks a hundred miles away, so English became the technical lingua-franca of the nation (The colonial imposition didn't help either).

When a developer searches stack-overflow for an answer, english works better because it serves all developers in India.

[0]: India scores 0.914 on the Linguistic diversity Index, which ranges from 0 (everyone has the same mother tongue) to 1 (no two people have the same mother tongue)
Well said. The book Extreme Ownership has a slightly different take of what I think is basically the same idea. It opened my eyes to a new way of thinking about people above you in the organizational hierarchy and advocated taking ownership up the chain as well as down. Instead of asking yourself "why isn't my boss listening to me?", you should ask yourself how you are failing to communicate to your boss. Obviously things aren't entirely your fault all the time, but changing your ownership mentality is a tremendously empowering idea--especially when it goes in the opposite direction of traditionally perceived power vectors.
If you want to maximize earnings, I almost wonder if it would be cheaper to rent the cheapest possible place in a remote area with a higher COL/salary, and then just live in a cheap area.
You really can't just make blanket statements about EU taxation effect on take home salary. There are massive differences in rates, and you also need to consider specific income levels as the profile of taxation by income band and dependents varies greatly.

Germany and (especially) Belgium tends to top the OECD lists over taxation, so for Germany you may well be right, while e.g. Denmark, Ireland and Poland (may be true for others too, but those are the ones I happened to be aware of) has tax rates that in several of the categories the OECD tracks are below US tax levels.

Or to rephrase, the employer gets long term commitment and loyalty from their employees because they get the best reward. The alternative is job hoppers, and I don't think you can create a business out of people who skip town whenever they get a better offer.

Mind you, the insane wage difference in SF is partly caused by job hoppers and scalping between the big and highly funded companies.
Awesome that they're using Ozone as their default menu theme now. I think it's inspired by the UI of the Nintendo Switch, which is where I've seen it for the first time. Great work!
Also want to share that you're not imagining things: best we can tell, those living in Georgia have very few options beyond their health department. Even Emory is limited in its capacity - last I heard they were hoping to be able to get to 400 tests/day by this weekend. We'll add Emory to the site soon. Even so, I encourage those who live in Georgia to share their insight with us by adding testing locations so that we can help others in their community.

We will also continue to research and update the site as new options become available - including home-based testing. We've already heard from a couple of companies in this space, but we're waiting for them to provide us with proof that their test is FDA validated and approved. Once they do that, we'll add their information to the site as well.
Sounds super fun! Thanks, going to try it out!!!
The forest for someone who wants to make money as a developer is go where people are the most willing to pay - the Apple App Store.

If people would pay me $50K for a speech (https://www.allamericanspeakers.com/celebritytalentbios/Susa...) I'd seriously think about it. I mean I could work 10 days a year (ok, let's say I need 3 days to prepare the speech - 30 days a year!) and get much more than I am getting now. What's not to like?
How did you mute the microphone? Through the software, which is controlled over the network, or with judicious application from a screwdriver? The latter would be the only way I would trust.
Thanks for the part number info; that's a good lead and I'll see if I can track anything down.

As far as your last point, I basically agree. This computer, though, is not quite as bad as it could be. It was a later, 1970s model originally designed for the Titan IIIC rocket to put satellites into space, a more positive role. It was also closely based on the Carousel IV commercial navigation system used for aircraft such as the Boeing 747, which is a nice heartwarming application.

Edit: the Motorola 21xx parts have the wrong pinout, e.g. ground on pin 10 vs 11. And many of the numbers don't exist as Motorola parts. Unfortunately, I don't think these are the right parts, although it seems so close.
It could be a matter of scratching your own itch: they're likely to write a lot of code and perhaps they were not satisfied with any of the existing one, and the instinctive solution for us devs it to make your dream software when none fit :)

Syndrome being the villain always kind of struck me as the film trying to defend social hierarchies in a sense. You have a hereditary caste of pretty volatile magical beings upon whom the defence of humanity depends and the person trying to remove that dependency in a way that's accessible to anyone regardless of what they're born as is the bad guy? We can debate capitalism until the cows come home but anyone being able to buy powers is still a step up from either being born into them or not.

He's a total arse don't get me wrong, but baseline humanity using nothing but its wits and hard work to make 'heroes' who inherited their powers obsolete is a sentiment I don't imagine is too alien to the readers of HN.

The startup I currently work for uses Python/Django + angular quite sucessfully, though if you want realtimy functionality I would look at something like NodeJS (with express or sails) as they have more convinient web socket support.
Yes, with a properly configured CDN you can continue serving information even when the application server is overloaded or down.

I've been fascinated by concurrent constraint programming (CCP) for a few years now, but it's hard to find source code for any of the system from back then. My reference for most of this topic is Vijay Saraswat's monograph of the same name, and he mentions systems like "Concurrent Prolog", "GHC" (no relation to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler!), and most importantly for me, "Herbrand", the instantiation of CCP over the Herbrand term universe that Saraswat developed.

If anyone is familiar with these topics, any pointers would be much appreciated!
The author is talking about the difficulty of typesetting mathematics, and refers to TEX as an approach to solve this problem. eqn and troff preceded TEX. Heck, even Microsoft's and Open Office's approach to typing in equations are direct descendants of eqn.

1. When the call quality is less than 100%, it is difficult to attribute this blame to the other person, my equipment, my connection, or the service provider. A heartbeat signal could fix this.

2. When somebody else is presenting, I can't point on THEIR screen. I have fumble through "higher, higher, too high, it's on the bar, do you see the bar?, yes, click on that one, you're right it doesn't really look like a pencil does it?"
Sounds more like you never actually checked the available options.
As always, there is more than one valid perspective on this problem.

Given the very first example from TFA, the problem is solved (i.e. the new requirement is satisfied) by only adding a few lines of code. In fact, a massive refactoring was not required. I would suggest that this is actually A Good Thing(tm) and may even be indicative a Good Design(tm). If every new requirement requires the system to be overhauled, you're definitely in a worse situation.

The lack of tests/testing is a wholly separate issue.

If the new requirement comes with new tests, and even better, tests for the old behavior and the new behavior, all the better: you can refactor the system at a later time to make it cleaner and simpler and still meet the requirements, which is even better, since you have a fuller picture of what the actual requirements are.

Refactoring in the face of every new requirement smacks of poor initial design.
> is easy to imagine that the SwiftUI team saw the window for getting new language-level features closing.

Would function builders have much impact on ABI stability? My assumption was that they are essentially just a front-end transform: i.e. the SIL generated from a function builder would be equivalent to writing it out "long hand" - the same way that Codables can essentially be thought of as the compiler writing out boilerplate Swift code for you.
The US has healthy capitalism, and a separate theft by crony capitalism. GDP growth is stolen away from workers to investors. Crony capitalism has completely spread across the pharma industry, medical, banking, and so much more.

US congress men and women sell out on the key areas where crony capitalists need their laws changed.

No, you have not laid your case for why. You have losely described some of his policy positions, followed by the words "is white supremacist" and "is racist".

The "why" is entirely missing. This comes off as "it's so self evident I don't have to bother explaining it" to others, and is the main reason why you are getting downvoted.
Yeah it would seem that if someone buys a ton of CO2 from you, then that’s just one more ton some ethanol production facility vents into the air instead of capturing and selling right? Are you saying that your method of producing a ton of CO2 uses less energy than theirs?
And if your IDE supports it, you can get informed of the errors before a compile (what Microsoft calls “Intellisense”)
One of the more confusing things about crypto is how many magical wishes get attached to it. It’s never actually explained why crypto will magically solve the problems listed, merely asserted that it would be so. There’s no reason that Bitcoin would magically eliminate the need for armies and oil consumption, at best it might change who has the armies, but not their presence.

The funny thing is that we know that neither fiat currency nor oil is necessary for empire building or warmongering, because both fiat currencies and large scale oil consumption came out after the greatest period of imperialism and colony building that humanity has ever seen. The idea that replacing something that’s been around for ~50 years will solve a Millenia long problem of humanity’s is just funny.
> We also require every access to any stack variable to do math to figure out where on the stack it's arguments are.

In the article, it appears to be the opposite. Previously this math was required (`[ai] = 2 + parameter_count - i - 1`), but by reversing the arguments in the stack it's now always a constant offset, and they prevent indexing out of the passed arguments in the frame by ensuring there's at least as many arguments as formal parameters by stuffing the call with extra `undefined`s:

> But what happens if we reverse the arguments? Now the offset can be simply calculated as [ai] = 2 + i. We don’t need to know how many arguments are in the stack, but if we can guarantee that we'll always have at least the parameter count of arguments in the stack, then we can always use this scheme to calculate the offset.

As a resident of Phoenix, I can see this working 9 months out of the year. But, June can reach 120f, and I’m cursing just by the time I walk from the grocery story through the parking lot to my car. July and August have random monsoons which aren’t navigable on scooter or bike.

If you added golf cart paths, the community becomes much more attractive. I’d take a golf cart 1/4 mile to an air conditioned bus stop/ride share stand.

Notice that this arrangement is quite unlivable for people with babies. Walking a child in a stroller 1/4 mile in 120f, to meet a ride share.... with what car seat? It would take any affluent new parents just a month before they nope’d out of that.
On the subject of encouraging kids to go deep and explore whatever they're interested in learning, I had that opportunity as a kid who homeschooled, and I think it benefited me a lot. Sure, I still had to spend some time learning things I was less interested in, like memorizing times tables, but I feel like the freedom to spend 50% or more of my time going deep and learning whatever I want (this is called "unschooling") did a huge amount to cultivate a lifelong love for learning that has served me well. It would have been hard to get that in public school.
Smaller antennaes needed for the same gain as lower frequencies.

Terrible ability to go through, say, a concrete wall, but that’s an issue for broadcast, not point-to-point. Possibly an advantage by reducing noise from other 10ghz signals (maybe harmonics from a bad microwave oven?).

They also have narrower fresnel zones than lower frequencies, so it’s easier to hit your target without having to be too high at both sides.

And the usual tradeoffs: Spectrum is available and you want equipment that’s cheap and reliable, but not too cheap either.
Living in Berlin now for a while. Getting around in Mitte by bike is - in my experience - usually faster than car and public transport. And the city is all but build with bicycles in mind. Íd say infrastructure design is about safety and convenience, rather than speed.
I went to a fast food outlet, the toilet was so full of waste that it was overflowing onto the floor. Super disgusting. All of the restaurants did not have public backrooms. I guess I could have begged them, and they probably would have let me because I was not homeless. But that is not a sustainable solution. Do we really want homeless people begging restaurants to use the bathroom every time they need to poop?
