Come on man, you don't have to go that far. just read rest of the thread and you'll see tons of people complaining about the same thing.

As I mentioned I have multiple devices and I observe these problems everywhere. And I have heard the same from friends too. And all these people on this thread are complaining about it.

Now where is your source on how my problem is just some extreme case and my own fault?
Working together with others (i.e. pair programming) can be very useful in helping you gain alternate perspectives on how to solve different problems.

Edit: I should add that I learned more in a 2 hour pair programming session as a junior dev with a senior dev than I did in a semester long programming class at university.
That doesn't look funny or better to me, that looks bitter and hateful for no reason. This person thinks half the world spends their time beating up nerds?
AT&T of course had a strict ban on innovation by third parties on the phone network, up to the "hush-a-phone" case.
I remember reading his quote and I understood it to mean that a monopoly is good for the company that has it and a company should try to achieve a monopoly. I don't think he said that it's for the greater good.
I proposed this in a business class once where our task was to solve Toronto's congestion problem. I cited many numerous instances where this has worked in many cities with far greater population density and car usage than Toronto - I received a poor grade and was told my idea of taxing the roads are stupid.
Fermentable fibers aren't just important, they're one of the key determinants of how healthy your diet is. Mood, memory & cognitive function, immune function, inflammation and leanness are all strongly influenced by your microbiome. Not only does a high fiber diet promote an optimal microbiome, the byproducts of fiber fermentation are actually the mechanism for most of the benefits.

Soylent also fails due to a lack of health-promoting phytonutrients. Between this and the lack of fiber, it is really a poor choice. You really need to get one solid, plant based meal a day for proper health. A better on-the-go alternative to soylent is a mixture of nuts and high phytonutrient dried fruit like blueberries/cherries (without added sugar). Tempeh also works well on the go and it is extremely healthy.
I really mean as a replacement for the grand staff.
If I'm at the sort of job where I get yelled at for doing my job as I saw fit, I will be motivated in the future to find a better manager.

But then again, I'd never block user input to play an unnecessary animation on my own initiative, so I must have been doing that because my manager told me to do it, or because I wasn't given enough time to do the job properly. So if I got yelled at in that situation, I'd wait to see if I was fired, and quit if I was not. Management by loud, abrasive, dominance-displaying histrionics is not something I can work with, ever.

Every company gets one freebie, where I go above and beyond the call of duty to make the kind of software that I am proud to stand behind. If that effort is not rewarded or recognized, and explicitly encouraged to continue, I fall back into line and do exactly as I am told thenceforth--no more, no less. I won't offer my opinion unless it is requested, and I won't go looking for extra things to do to improve the code base. If that freebie is actually punished or reprimanded, I start looking for other jobs. What I have found is that few companies are interested in doing anything well, or even technically correct. They desire extremely consistent mediocrity. They don't want a hand-crafted hamburger made from fresh-ground chuck and crisp, juicy vegetables; they want a McDonald's hamburger with exactly two pickle slices and one pinch of minced onion.

Anyone that yells at a grill cook for making a gourmet burger instead of the McDonald's standard probably shouldn't be hiring trained chefs and assigning them to the grill. But worse, anyone that yells at their grill cook because they put a third pickle slice on the burger--an extra pickle that was asked for, or even demanded--probably should not be in charge of anything, much less a bunch of grill cooks.

Fear of getting yelled at is actually fear of having to navigate the awful interview process all over again, while pretending to care about my current job long enough for an offer to come in. I avoid doing my work badly mostly because I don't want to be a person who does bad work. If I ever do bad work, it's because I was told to do it that way--or maybe yelled at to do it that way--and I hate every shortcut and kludge, even as I am typing them into existence. At that point, I am already mentally out the door, only sticking around until that paycheck can be replaced by a check from somewhere else. Yelling is bad management, and bad management motivates me to leave.
Given the state of most internet fora it would be a dickbutt machine..
Richard Spencer held a rally at UF last week, and they had to arrest 3 of his supporters for firing shots at protesters. I don’t have much sympathy for this “college kids are overreacting” argument these days.
Well, I wouldn't say that. One problem with monopolies is they eventually grow so huge that they have tremendous influence on politics.
Nutrition science has an ugly history of wrongness and capture by industry. I am also extremely wary of psychology, which puttered along doing bad work for decades before the current replication crisis. We could all have a foodfight about Economics for fifty years.

There is a bunch of foundational stuff in science that is great, but like any human endeavour, there is also plenty of garbage and nonsense.
Employers and mating partners rave a lot about height. But height doesn't control the mouth and hands, so it can't make you talk about itself like brain features can.
He gave a talk about his thoughts to a Stanford class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6K8PZxyQfU

fyi: there's already a discussion happening on https://yc.metachat.com/ (re-posting because it was flagged below but I don't understand why)
Yes, monopolies do have the resources to invest in R&D. The problem is that they often lack the incentive because they have control of a market.

Government regulations that mandate some return (think telecommunications services for those in rural areas, pollution standards, etc.) can provide an incentive for monopolists/oligopolists to perform better according to some criteria. The problem is those mandates are not what we would always consider "innovative". By definition, they are often designed to incrementally improve on the status quo.

The game of politics has an important role. When there are oligopolies in many industries it is not unusual to see regulators getting jobs at the very companies they regulate. Think of the ties between the SEC and finance, CRTC in Canada and the communications sector, etc. Monopolists have a way of cementing their position in the economy and reducing the mandates that governments place on them.
I hope the post is fair. Let me know if it isn’t. Our goal is to explain the situation to our customers, and help make other teams aware that their apps may be suffering similar issues.
I bought my Costco membership so I could buy a hearing aid, so call the cost of the hearing aid $855 if you must. That's still more than $2000 in savings. The free hearing test was performed before paying for the membership.

Sure, salary is an incomplete proxy. Each also requires a bit of real estate, support staff, and equipment. Both my optometrist and the Costco vision center have a larger space than the Costco hearing center. The Costco hearing aid area typically has one assistant (not an audiologist) working. The optometrist also has at least one assistant (optician).

I chose eye exams and glasses because it is probably an experience that more people can relate to. Proctologists are MDs ($389,700/yr), have more complex facilities and equipment, need more support staff (reception, nurses, aenesthesiologist), have more complex sanitary needs (proctologists perform surgery), and tend not to send patients home with custom-fit devices.

As for inventory - it very well could be that an optometrist does not pay for it up front.
Which, sadly, hasn't really done much to combat congestion or pollution. The only real solution is reducing the number of cars - unfortunately never going to happen in London.
This is true of small shops and cloud operations but every enterprise IT shop I’ve seen has a router geek who is convinced you need an appliance to terminate traffic, even if it’s a decelerator in practice.
I don't really think it is fair or reasonable to gloss over the tremendous role of government research by just calling the military "the ultimate monopoly."

They aren't out to fix all the health problems associated with what people do and don't eat, or about any lack of food. The "solve nutrition" stuff is more about solving the "what shall I eat today" question. It's about providing a product to lazy people. They throw some science in because they know that sells to their target market, which isn't everyone. Like most other fad foods the real product is the marketing hype. This news will help. It positions them as another cutting edge company being trampled upon by notoriously evil Canadian food regulators interested only in protecting their vast maple sugar monopolies.
He IS s2x.
> John George Trump (August 21, 1907 – February 21, 1985) was an American electrical engineer, inventor, and physicist. He was a recipient of U.S. President Ronald Reagan's National Medal of Science, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. John Trump was noted for developing rotational radiation therapy. Together with Robert J. Van de Graaff, he developed one of the first million-volt X-ray generators. He was the paternal uncle of future U.S. President Donald Trump.

Not all of the family success was boosted by nepotism, there seems to be some talent in the bloodline, his sister was also a senior US circuit judge and was quite successful on her own.
Does anyone have a link to the article on the lead detector ?

To comment on your question, my favorite past time as a child was walking the aisles of a hardware store or Radio Shack hoping to find a tool or device I had never seen before. If the store had a parts catalog, I would take it home and read every page. The girl in the article is doing the same only in a different format.

It is bizarre that an activity one child finds so fascinating and gratifying is seen as painfully dull and pointless by another child.
Frankly, I've always wondered why in the hell they'd name it after Soylent Green. Sometimes it seems like we've arrived at maximum saturation of irony in North America.
Slider controls might be a better example, I think. In that case, the position reached by the moveable element is the data, and it is appropriate to take the value from the UI element (of course, if it lags noticeably, that is a UI design issue.) With slider switches, you could argue it either way, so long as program and UI remain consistent, but again there is a problem if the UI response lags the gesture.
that is correct. they know they have to come 10x more prepared.

No, you seem to be simply talking out of ignorance.
From the FAK:

> Faktory aims to be more feature-rich and better supported. Many of Faktory's OSS competitors are "dead" and no longer supported. I am fortunate enough to have both expertise in background jobs and a business model to support Faktory long-term.
The dissident right holds that this is a good thing - we can't get segregation and a very comprehensive freedom of association from Constitutional conservatives, but progressive leftists are more than happy to do the legwork to erode protections around the 'protected classes'.

But it's something we see playing out across the anglo world - left learning "right thinkers" break down some boundry and hand the keys to people who lean right. Obama took the imperial Presidency to new heights and now Trump gets to reap the rewards. Trump really wouldn't have been possible without Obama.

The sad irony is that leftists need the rule of law and impartial justice much more than right wingers.
Atomic swaps have worked from day one, if people would just use them.
Or outright killing research that threatens their main revenue drivers. Like, OK, we eventually got digital cameras, but Kodak didn't do anything with it for a long time because they wanted to keep selling film. With graver consequences, Exxon decided to suppress its own findings about climate change.
The article is a bit vague on how this works. Does anyone know of a good summary?
Ok but... While reading that, did you at any point wonder the ethnicity, gender and approximate age of the author? Because I was less than surprised when I saw him at the end of the article.
Our preference for (relatively) high levels of local control (and the resulting tiered cake of tax jurisdictions and regulatory domains) makes our system incredibly vulnerable to race-to-the-bottom behavior when confronted with powerful non-state actors (corporations). Our fear of a hypothetical (though, to be clear, in other times and places realized) evil state leaves us with a host of real, everyday stresses, annoyances, and inefficiencies. It's a drag on GDP and, especially, on quality of life.
It's a different part of the brain. Social skills like this are called theory of mind. The spectrum part of autism spectrum includes a trade-off between attention to explicit detail and an awareness of overall bacground context.

I guess as long as they are regulated, monopolies can be beneficial to the society overall, in many ways intangibly. Bell Labs is a great example of something that kept on giving (Unix, C, etc).

I wonder what could make something like Comcast into a "good monopoly" though.

Another aspect is that commercial competition, while generally accepted as a system that in the end delivers superior results, seems woefully inefficient in terms of waste of resources, as opposed to something like academic competition, were people freely reuse competitors' previous work.
This is awesome. Tillage is far more harmful to prairie ecosystem diversity than herbicides and pesticides are. So increasingly farmers have been using herbicides and pesticides as an alternative to tillage.

I thought there were quite a few problems (like factoring) which were hard to generate a correct answer, but easy to check whether an answer is correct?

> Exhibit M. Part 03 of 03 pg. 43. The article further discusses the subject of wind, tides, lightning, and water power as a source of commercial energy. The last sentence of this memorandum states: "With my wireless system, it is practicable to transmit electrical energy at a distance of twelve thousand miles with a loss not exceeding 5 per cent. I can conceive of no advances which would be more desirable at this time and more beneficial to the further progress of mankind."

No further details are given, or the exhibit itself, but interesting nonetheless.

Performative criticism of the devoted humanitarians for the sake of social flagging oneself as a centrist is the problem.
Maybe Draw.io has something? I know they are a pretty large Confluence addon.
Not sure why I'm being downvoted? OP throws out "Peter Thiel says monopolies are good," which is an appeal to authority and a post meant to cause controversy.
Well it's not entirely clear that everything's great afterward either, since a lot of people are employed by any monopoly that crashes and burns and whole towns or regions can be devastated by that event.

The AT&T breakup destroyed the telecommunications industry. AT&T’s gold-plated POTS network was expensive, but for its time it was a technical marvel. Competitive industries don’t build stuff like that. There is a reason Apple and Samsung (huge, vertically integrated monopolies) produce the best phones.
I think its the fact that his children appear to be more or less in the same mold as himself that has colored people's opinions of the family. But yes, the family as a whole seems pretty well to do.

But in France the wives get the husband's last name when they marry, so Maria Curia is not that inaccurate.

I think it's one of those things you notice once you're looking for them. I certainly see them fairly regularly, in my smallish MidWestern city.

As a random example, yesterday I bought fast-food fried chicken for lunch. The woman who took my order was wearing an Apple Watch. The barista at my regular coffee shop wears one.

They're definitely showing up on non-tech people. I've also never seen a woman wearing a smartwatch that isn't an Apple Watch.

That video shows Resolve to be a pretty capable tool. (Can the nodes take custom user-specified logic in them, e.g. some GPU shader or the like?)

But everything shown in that video (other than motion tracking) can be done step for step equivalently in Photoshop, albeit some bits take some nonstandard combinations of tools. Some of it would probably be more convenient in PS to achieve via a different method.

I don’t exactly understand what the compositing order is of “parallel nodes”, but I’m quite convinced I could mimick the effect almost precisely given a technical description.

The nonlinear ordering you mention could be done using smart objects, but that can get annoying, so it’s usually easier in practice to just duplicate the layer (which breaks the link if you change something up the compositing chain later).
Compared to what/where? You can get a pair of prescription glasses almost anywhere for around $100.
Price doesn't always increase after a trade. Depends if the settlement price is above or below the previous trade's price.
"Students are being taught by these postmodern professors that there is no truth, that science and empirical facts are tools of oppression by the white patriarchy, and that nearly everyone in America is racist and bigoted, including their own professors, most of whom are liberals or progressives devoted to fighting these social ills."

What's the source for this? Why should I take this article more seriously than a random screed on social media?
On one hand you're right, ad hominem filtering on the basis of demography is self-limiting.

On the other, it's ironic because the author is a specifically controversial character:

I mean, in the narrow sense he's of course right -- if you're a business owner or investor the logical thing to do is to aim to create a monopoly. Where I depart is the claim that this is also good for society as a whole.

In general, xz beats zstd in compression ratio, as xz is very committed to providing the strongest compression, at the expense of speed, while zstd provides a range of compression ratio vs speed tradeoffs [0]. At the lower levels, zstd isn't approaching xz's compression level, but it's doing it much much faster. Additionally, zstd generally massively outperforms xz in decompression speed

letlambda's explanation for IPFS is right. In Dat, that method is used to produce an append only log out of a merkle tree. Each time you add an entry, a leaf is added to the tree, and the new head is signed. I wrote about it here [1] and have some gifs demonstrating the process.

Merkle trees can work just fine for dynamic content. You just need to use a pubkey pointer.

> My immediate thought was that Apple had liberally sprinkled wait() into the iOS 11 code base so that I'd feel like my ole A9 CPU just wasn't cutting it any more and I'd realize, as they do, it's time to upgrade.

Which would affect the 2017 iPad also. Why introduce a new iPad with the A9 if you're going to limit the performance. Is it to get people to buy... what exactly? An iPad Pro? Why not simply ONLY make iPad Pros?

This line of reasoning is immature and beneath the type of discourse that should occur on any tech leaning site.

I really hope you're just being sarcastic and mocking everyone who really thinks this.

My wife is Korean and was shocked that she couldn't get a pair for like $30. Also, I think the glasses she ended up with were probably considerably more than $100 but your options are really narrowed if you have an Asian nose (many glasses that would work fine for me just slide off of her face).
Details are in the "Media Kit" [1]. Not a "paper" but a "Media kit". Note that "media kits" probably have positive correlation with P&D and "papers" probably do not. Not causation, I suppose, but just an interesting tidbit for consideration.
