They did. The 64-bit floating point unit in many PDP-11s used 16 4-bit AM2901 bit-sliced processors. Also know that over time, 8-, 16- and 32-bit slices came along, so you didn't need as many chips to build wide-word machines.

That's ridiculous, why? I'd understand some sort of certification process and requiring certified products to have ample warnings but why should it be illegal?

If I want to buy cheap hardware or software that isn't certified I should be able to.
That tends to be more equitable if the money's evenly distributed.

Redpillers are a group of people that have associated around the concept of "redpill."

"Redpill" has come to mean many things on the internet, but all trace their origin to the movie The Matrix, in which the character Morpheus offers the character Neo two pills: one red, one blue. If neo takes the red pill, he will be pulled out of the Matrix (a computer simulation) and showed the real world. If he takes the blue pill, he will continue to exist in the computer simulation and can pretend it's the real world.

In the case I was referring to (redpillers using "hypergamy"), "redpill" or "to be redpilled" means to believe that male/female dynamics are entirely sex-driven regardless of context (professional, sports, relationship, etc) and furthermore those dynamics are governed by rules established early in human evolution - for example, they believe women will only want to be in a sexual relationship with strong men that can provide for them, or that women universally prefer to work as little as possible while being provided for by men.

A redpiller himself would probably take a mildly different definition than this - they would try to sell the community on its less politically incorrect values, such as the tenant that men should focus on self-improvement, bodily health, careers, etc. However, this is typical cult behavior, and the darker parts of redpill are what truly drive the community.

>I think they probably just thought that the term hypergamy sounds cool, so they adopted it to appear scientific.

I 100% agree with this, however the way they use the term does fit in perfectly with its definition.
That or the highly toxic chemicals, which are probably carcinogenic in some way.
> We have a HELOC so we can turn our equity into cash on demand.

But that HELOC has financing terms associated with it. Getting cash out from your HELOC does impact your overall "wealth" because you have to pay a fee (financing terms) to actual turn that credit line into cash. You could in turn take that cash that you borrowed at 3% interest and put it into assets that net you 4% return and effectively increase your wealth. You may take a short term hit to your income (the 3% interest fee) but you net out in the end.

> I'm just saying that transactional costs decrease your wealth, which is simply a fact.

That's not true in real terms. Your talking about a decrease of your perceived wealth. If the only asset I own is $1,000 in public traded stocks (i.e. I look at the stock market this second and they're worth $1,000), you could say your wealth is $1,000, but only for that second. However in practice your real wealth is the amount someone is willing to pay for your assets (when you put a sell order out) minus the transaction fees associated with making the transaction. That's the actual process ("in real terms") you would go through to realize your wealth.

This is effectively what people say when someone is "paper rich" E.g. a startup founder who has 30% of a business that is worth $300M, now has wealth valued at $90M...if he/she were actually liquidate to a seller at $300M, his/her wealth would probably be more like $40M-ish after taxes, transaction fees, etc.

> What exactly is the difference between "cost" and "negative impact on your wealth"? Those two seem like the same thing to me.

I should have probably said income instead instead of "cost". From wikipedia:[0]

Economic terminology distinguishes between wealth and income. Wealth or savings is a stock variable, that is, measurable at a date in time, for example the value of an orchard on December 31 minus debt owed on the orchard. For a given amount of wealth, say at the beginning of the year, income from that wealth, as measurable over say a year is a flow variable. What marks the income as a flow is its measurement per unit of time, such as the value of apples yielded from the orchard per year.

In other words, your wealth is measurable at a moment in time and can't realize a true negative impact on it unless it actually gets liquidated. Otherwise the measurement of it today is simply theoretical.

When I was in college I slept through four or five meetings with my advisor. But only because those meetings were scheduled months in advance, and since they were basically the only thing on my calendar, I'd just miss them unless I happened to look at my calendar the day before. But as soon as the iPhone came out I basically have never missed an appointment again, because now I can put things in the reminders app and can have events in there that are months or years in advance.

I wasn't magically dominant before the iPhone came out or more submissive afterwards, there just wasn't a good tool that matched my workflow. I'm not sure what the point of this story is, other than that it's hard to generalize from university-related situations since people in academic settings aren't always well served by mainstream scheduling and calendaring tools.
I get formatting, styles, animation, for free. I get cross platform graphics, video, and audio for free

That is only true if by "for free" you mean you (or your users) get to exchange an oversized portion of their free memory and CPU cycles for those things. Better hope those users have at least as powerful a system as you do or they'll be looking elsewhere for their text editor, cooperative workbench or IDE.

"We are rarely ever coding at the same time of day given time zone differences and sleeping patterns."

This is to aid pair programming. I work on a remote team as well, but there are times we pair when hashing out of a particular issue that either myself or one of my teammates is having. It's far quicker to do this than to work disconnected and go back and forth, esp. if it may impact the schedule/sprint. In the past I've worked with devs that had as much as a 10 hour time difference and we literally scheduled times where our schedules crossed so we could pair on a specific issue. One person drives at a time but it's common to switch back and forth so tools like this are helpful.

> 2 is pretty old, it's time to move on.

Why? Just because "it's pretty old?" The 2-to-3 change seems mostly cosmetic. When Python users ignored 3, Python devs started flogging their dead horse. When the horse still refused to move, disappointed riders started shouting "shame!" at users who suggested that the horse looked dead. Eventually, the riders tied ropes to the horse and pulled it along the ground. The onlookers either switched to bicycles and cars, or figured that they might as well ride the man-hauled carcass awhile longer.
It took about two weeks of daily use. I switched my mouse at work to be left handed and committed myself to not switching back if I got frustrated. Before I knew it, it felt as natural as my other hand, and I can go back and forth with ease. I'd actually say that off-hand mousing is now my preferred state. It helped that at the time I was doing a lot of work in Adobe Illustrator so I was really getting a lot of fine-control practice. You might try playing a game like Minesweeper for a similar effect.

You get a property manager. The net cash flow is going to be much higher than the mortgage payment and the tenants pay the mortgage. Or, if it’s paid for, you do the same thing except cash out equity, let the tenants pay the equity loan, use that loan to buy the house you want to live in, take a deduction on the interest and you end up with two houses — both paid for by someone else and with a property manager you don’t have to fix toilets. Since you aren’t selling anything, you have no cap gains AND you can deduct depreciation from the rental income which means you end up paying no taxes on the rental income. With Valley housing in short supply you probably have at most an average on 1 month per year of vacancy — if that.

Then if you ultimately sell both houses, you can do a 1031 exchange and invest all of the proceeds into a new house — and defer the cap gains until you sell that.

These problems aren’t that hard unless you look at them from a single direction.
Yes it is because you're asking to get the upgrade for free. The version you paid $50 for has standalone support and will continue to work exactly as it did when you bought it. Maybe that's a caveat of the SaaS/hosted model. I don't see why they should be obligated to give anyone the version with new features for free, though.
I tried to switch, but FF does not allow local files to be loaded. Since I use a bunch of Tampermonkey scripts (which I save and edit locally), it was a non-starter for me. Perhaps if they ever fix this issue, I might try again.
I see, I skimmed over that section. Reason being, I expect to see __real__ reports for this topic as a product owner instead of mutable git notes that I would need to tool against. Git notes from my understanding are more for TODOs, and don't seem like the best output for test analysis.

Hidden dependencies is a very opinionated thing to have in a list of criteria, and the description seems to mix several concepts - mutability, global state but also sounds like "explicit is better than implicit" from python which not everyone agrees with.

This is by far the weakest point I think.
Yes you are. You paid for a product that continues to work exactly the way it did when you paid for it. They're not obligated to give me new features to the product I paid for at no cost to me, especially when it's a from-scratch rewrite. That makes all of us beggars since what we paid for still exists and they're not taking it away.

As a web developer, this claim is patently false.

Reviewing aggregated user behavior data is how good UIs get built. It helps us to identify pain points, confusing or misrepresented user paths, poor hierarchy or site structure, poorly indicated calls to action, and many other valuable metrics.

Every positive user experience you've ever had online has been derived from countless hours of studying user behavior, and the larger the source the better it gets.

Also note that aggregated user data is typically anonymous, but there is a lot to be said for keeping it identifiable. Some of the best tools for debugging customer support issues start by recording your clicks so a developer can see exactly what caused an issue, rather than guessing and hoping.

There is probably no other way than to do it off-chain. I guess the transactions required to send your bitcoin to a wallet(if this feature will be enabled) might already be a problem. but this brings us to the entire bitcoin as a store of value idea, square will probably avoid the fees with bulk purchase of bitcoins. I have a big problem with that, bitcoin block rewards relative to the total value of bitcoin are going to decline over time. After the 2020 halving the block reward will be less than 2% the value of the network[1]. i assume satoshi imagined that overtime people will use transaction fees to secure the network. with bitcoin core moving to off chain solutions with no fees, i dont see how this will work out.

Maybe our current situation is what it might've been like when we had devices that could generate and receive RF emissions but before there was an FCC/global regulatory distribution of spectrum.

If that analogy holds at all, perhaps that might be why it should be illegal to manufacture or import devices which don't conform.

a boss only has power over you so far as you're being paid to act on behalf of the company, and that's the proper power you should have when you need to run a company, clearly having employees be able to harness some law and create a kind of capture on the employer wouldn't be ideal

you could end up with job seekers that are just seeding for predatory lawsuits, or people end up squatting on a company to get whatever they can regardless of what cost/value impact they are having on the company, terrible for both businesses and competitive job seekers alike

even if they made a law that says "you can't fire people for things discovered using data mining" you now run into the situation of having to provide some reason for firing someone, which is a messy situation, because you shouldn't need to provide proof or reasoning for no longer wanting to work with someone, it would make it dangerous to work with anyone that showed any potential risk for making things difficult, and we don't want to make it more risky and expensive for people to get jobs

It's happening because when you search for a job you get posting after posting that calls for experience with specific JavaScript frameworks. "Looking for a React ninja". "Looking for an Angular hacker". So programmers push for using those frameworks even on projects that don't necessarily call for them, so they can pad their resume and keep up with the ridiculous churn of frontend JS development. This is the advantage of working with a platform like iOS - there is one framework to make UI's and that's all you need to know for your entire career. Yes, the framework upgrades and changes, but you don't have to learn a completely new paradigm to change the contents of a text box for the hundredth time.
