I've written this, years ago:

And just about forever I've had a kind of owners manual in draft for bootstrapping a startup but I lack the time to complete it, way too much on the go :(. That's a nice indication of how much time and effort go into bootstrapping a company.
Perhaps those are the weddings we focus on and we forget all the cheap ones? I've known quite a few people (myself included) who did it for a few hundred quid (turned out Tuesdays were cheaper so we did it then at town hall).

Of course, it's cheaper if no family come. Remember, all those gifts they give you are a social debt for which they will want to collect.
>>>I believe there was data that with 64GB of RAM you can expect at least a single bit error or two a month.

But this would be if you were using 64GB nonstop for a month, which is quite a bit rarer than just having 64GB. And certain filesystems (ZFS, Btrfs) and most databases have software checksumming functionality to detect bitrot.

Not to say ECC isn't useful or multiple layers of protection aren't prudent, just that the problem it solves is something you're unlikely to encounter below datacenter scale.
Human error. These kinds of things happen all the time - packages going through UPS/FedEx get lost, containers on ships are lost (i.e. put in the wrong stack or fall off into the sea), containers in ports are lost/hidden...

There's a lot of rail cars in the US by itself. And while they are already well tracked, mistakes happen.
Good guess, but no cigar.
Well I don't see anything so unnatural about a practice that has arisen in most human societies throughout history, so on a more basic level I'm unsympathetic to the argument. But it seems especially hard to justify using that defense after already committing to something else.
If memory serves, the 10% isn't based on some kind of global estimate of HTTP traffic. It's based on what percentage of active IP-space they see on a daily basis.
Yes, in fact it does. Components are created by `class MyEl extends HTMLElement`, and columns are included in the CSS module under the `grid` declaration.
> “Women don’t want to take a risk on somebody who’s not going to be able to provide anything,”

That's such a fucked up sexist thought. It says woman are in control of marriage, what men want is irrelevant. And that the role of men is provider. Men belong at work and women belong in the kitchen, is that it?
It's about context. Anecdotal evidence paired with taking numbers out of context is a keystone of yellow journalism, and is something that is ubiquitous in these articles about Uber. Uber currently fulfills 40 million [1] rides per month. At that scale, even the rarest and most egregious incidents are going to be a regular occurrence, which enables individuals and organizations to be incredible misleading when discussing the issues at hand.

So for instance in the US the average traffic fatality rate is about 1.5 per hundred million miles. With Uber servicing 40 million rides per month, you'd expect to see numerous Uber passengers/drivers killed in traffic accidents each and every month. It can lead to yellow journalism like "Dozens were killed in accidents with unsafe Uber drivers last year. How can we fix this?" The quantity of values is in no way evidence that there's anything to fix nor does it justify calling the drivers unsafe. You need context and relative comparison. It could well be that you get your sensationalistic headline even when the drivers are well above the average in terms of safety - just thanks to the scale of their operation.

Arguments should be decided on logic, not emotion. And that is impossible when you present numbers without any context.

I was going to say that Heinlein did a wonderful and poetic try at immortality with 'Time enough for love', before quicly realizing that, alas, this great soul has passed away almost 20 years ago.

There's authors that achieve a sort of personnal connection with readers through their stories. Heinlein did that for me, along with the also greatly regretted Iain M. Banks.
"Personally I prefer to pay someone for a product/service directly." This wont work in our part of the world where access to tech is more important than ethics to a lot of people.
Iain M Banks, the culture series touches on immortality and choosing / not choosing it. [edit: didn't read carefully enough. Sadly, he won't be available for interviewing]

Sear's, unfortunately, has become a sad shadow of its former self. In particular their CEO, Eddie Lampert, has enjoyed a nightmarish rein-of-power based on "Ayn Rand" principles that have been driving the once mighty store into the ground.

That's about 50%, which is the commonly quoted figure. However, IIRC that figure is skewed significantly by second (and further) marriages (i.e. by people who "like" getting divorced). The figures for first marriage are somewhat lower.
Most people I talk to assume that marriage is a boon for taxes. It is not. Our current tax policy can penalize both low-income and high-income earners.

https://taxfoundation.org/understanding-marriage-penalty-and...
I often thought about going with a NUC in the past but either the price tag was not convincing or the only performant option was housed in a skull case.
Sears is a textbook case of the evolution of a company. As the Atlantic points out they were really successful at capturing trends, but what Sear's secret was they were building infrastructure that let them respond to changes quickly.

Then sometime between 1975 and 1985 they seem to have started thinking they were successful because they were 'the best' and took their eye off the core competencies that made them nimble (logistics, accountable management practices) That is according to people who worked there at that time. Suddenly people who should not have been promoted (they weren't 'Sears people') were being promoted, and things were focused less on operations and more on public image.

The challenge is that you start managing to the effect rather than the cause. It is like companies that spend all of their time doing 'market research' and spend their time trying to be better than their perceived competitors at what their competitors are doing. They lose sight of why they were doing so well in the first place. "chasing your tail", "following the followers", lots of names for it, but they were being challenged by many up and coming brick and mortar competitors (K-Mart, Target, Walmart,
Montgomery Wards, Etc.) By worrying about those threats they forgot to watch for the changes in the market, and that led to a lot of what would be difficult pain.

And yes, it is "easy" to see that looking backwards in time at their choices, but even in the 70's and 80's there were voices telling them that they were not focused on the right problems.
In the 1980s the number of people who had dial-up online services at home was tiny. It wasn't anything close to mainstream until the mid/late 1990s -- well after the start of Sears' financial difficulties.
I live in Canada and am born in the early 80s. 1 in 20 of my friends has a phone that isn't an iPhone, we often use iCloud photo sharing for albums but I don't know anyone who is using iCloud Photo Library, so not a special case in my circle
> Your assets will be taken from you and you will be lucky if you get 50% custody

This is an interesting situation from the point of how economy, politics and people work:

If you protect X, you will get less X.

If you protect women in marriage by giving them more assets and custody on divorce, you make it harder for women to find a spouse. Those who already had one, benefit.

If you protect home renters by putting conditions on potential landlords, you will get better conditions for existing renters but worse conditions for new renters.

You thought you can make world better by placing conditions on other people, but it bites the actual demographics you were thought to protect.
That's not oil, land, water, etc. By your definition almost every country has tons of natural resources, and yet results are so disparate.

Lots of other countries have strategic trading locations: Malaysia, Indonesia, India, South Africa, Argentina (well, not since the Panama canal, I guess), Egypt, Saudi, Iran, and so on.

Maybe, just maybe, ideas matter?

Strongly disagree on "do not want children there is no point in getting married."

There's an emotional reason to get married, formalizing a life long commitment. That's a big one for a lot of folks (citation: my marriage).

But lets say you're not a feelings type of person, and those arguments fall on deaf ears. If you live in a community property state marriage makes inheriting assets ridiculously easy and avoids all sorts of taxes. (otherwise you're down the road of setting up trusts which will incur lawyer and trust management fees).

Taxes are another one - if there's an income disparity. Filing jointly with a single income does wonders for what you don't have to pay.

Your spouse can also not be compelled to testify against you, which depending on how paranoid you want to be might make you sleep better at night.

To say there's no point is missing the point though - as much as marriage is enshrined in legal rights which are unavailable to those who do not marry, the institution of marriage is centuries old and exists in many religions. There's an emotional reason to do so, and that's point enough.
Human waste has been used as fertilizer for ages. Check out night soil
Hm, well, I think it is fair to say the cult of the individual has a pedigree a few centuries long, but it seems to me like the collapse of groups and institutions (everything from religion to social activities like bowling leagues, really) and generally more atomized relationships have removed the fetters preventing it from reaching its most extreme expression. I guess this claim risks veering into "things were better in the good old days" which isn't really what I mean.

America became the biggest economy because of brains and innovation driving it, its as true a hundred years ago as it is today. The opportunity to make money for yourself - thats what drove the American economy and still drives it today. A lot of people are commenting that American wealth came from slavery, but that is simply not so - nearly every country on Earth had some degrees of slavery, but how many had succeeded? Slaves didn't smelt steel, nor designed and built battleships to be sold to the Russian Empire in 1900s.

Today though, you can see countries like Germany take the lead with their better protections for inventors and better incentives and protections for the employees.

Traditional agriculture has also produced a number of things that are non-obviously poisonous that have slowly killed lots of people over time. HFCS, tobacco, etc.

I think the key takeaway is that these aren't new or different risks. You could say the same thing about iPhone apps, pharmaceuticals, or traditionally bred plants: as you consider the whole lines of $ITEMS that will be created over the next decades at an accelerating pace, the odds that at least one of them turn out to be catastrophically bad enough to entirely erase the benefits of everything else done with them goes up quite distressingly.

Thalidomide happened. But it doesn't justify abandoning pharmaceuticals entirely. There just might be some wisdom in that.

This is an arbitrary and invented baseline. The actually baseline for a wedding is much closer to $0. My wife and I spent $60 for the license and paperwork, and we splurged about $500 for two plain, gold bands. I wonder what the correlation is for money spent on a wedding and divorce? I know I have my hunch of what it is.

EDIT: Saw your clarification. I totally agree. It is sort of a toxic expectation that can impact the marriage or someone's desire to get married, in my opinion.

You're highly biased because those are the weddings you see. The average wedding cost is a very small fraction of these numbers. I know a number of people who could afford to throw large weddings but just had a ceremony in their backyards instead.
I think you're right that Amazon won't miss this boat (but someone might be able to do it better than them). Amazon are already looking at printing instant-order dash buttons directly on products.

I think the things that could threaten amazon's core business one day are:

3D printing. Whether the designs are free or paid for, its not a given that you'll buy the designs through Amazon. You might get the filament through them, but that's a fraction of the value they currently capture.

Sharing, rental and communal ownership. Many of the things I buy from Amazon are never used full time. Whether at a local or national scale the norm could shift to communal resources rather than private ownership. Particularly as city apartments get smaller and have less storage.

Direct ordering from China or other producers. Amazon have already lost this to alibaba. If we started ordering more everyday things direct, this could hit Amazon.

Full AI Ascension. If we completely leave corporeal existence behind, it would put a dent in Amazon's business. Although, on second thoughts, we'd probably be running on AWS...

If both parties' consent is necessary to get married (which, you know, I hope it is), then either can veto it.

If both parties need to provide in order to maintain a decent standard of living (which is the reality of America today), then either party can look at the other and say, "This person is not providing anything" and exercise their right to veto.

If women are more stably employed than men, on average, which is again the reality of lower-income areas, then it is women who will be dominantly in the part of the person judging and vetoing, without any sexism (except, I suppose, possibly on the part of the employers who make lower-income men less stably employed, though I don't think that sexism is the causal factor there).

If you protect mothers by giving them welfare, you get more single mothers.

If you give courts / child protection services a cut of the child support money, you get more divorces where the fathers are cut out of the children's lives.

If you punish men in divorces, financially ruin them ("imputed income"), and don't let them see their kids, you get a massive increase in male suicide after a divorce.
> Men belong at work and women belong in the kitchen, is that it?

No, it's just describing the reality that it matters to women how much a man earns. See the last graph in the second section of this article:

No, ROCm is an amalgamation of a lot of things and it's been very inconsistently represented, you are thinking of HIP which in theory should that but in practice it's a tool to more easily convert CUDA applications to ROCm, since while you can in theory use NVCC as a backend for HIP the design directive for HIP make it nonviable.

In all effectiveness ROCm is AMD's version of CUDA it includes it's own run time and driver stack which effectively replaced the OpenCL frontend for AMD GPUs, basically it gives AMD the ability to do with their GPUs what CUDA allowed NVIDIA to do and it's not to be dependent on a camel (OpenCL).

This is what ROCm is: https://rocm.github.io/images/ROCm_Stack.png or at least this is what AMD is pushing it to be, currently a lot of things are still unfinished or non-existent.

The representation of it being open is misleading, while more of the source code is available than for CUDA, ROCm isn't vendor agnostic on any tangible level.
In 2-3 years once it's somewhat in a production ready state it will lock you into a single vendor just like CUDA does.
