Right. My understanding is it’s basically the same as G sync or whatever the AMD name for it is.

I’m kind of curious to see what a game running at say, 50 frames per second, looks like if the frame pacing is uneven. I imagine it looks worse than 50 frames per second with even frame pacing but better than 50 frames per second with glitches because you’re supposed to be outputting 60.

ACA without the individual mandate is not the same as no ACA. Plus, lots has changed in the meantime: a growing shortage in physicians, even higher healthcare costs, an expanding role for nurses. The healthcare market is not static.

>> What makes the situation especially puzzling is that our system for CF care is far more sophisticated than that for most diseases. The hundred and seventeen CF centers across the country are all ultra-specialized, undergo a rigorous certification process, and have lots of experience in caring for people with CF. They all follow the same detailed guidelines for CF treatment. They all participate in research trials to figure out new and better treatments. You would think, therefore, that their results would be much the same. Yet the differences are enormous. Patients have not known this. So what happens when they find out?

Maybe this is simply correct and the variance in care is small, but the regional resources, environmental and other co-factors are distorting the patients results. If income and insurance are lower patients might have to take on more stressful jobs. If education is lower parents might not be able to care as effectively because they don't understand the physician's instructions. Other environmental cofactors in impoverished regions might worsen certain diseases but not do so in others, and so forth.

This is a very important point because it might heavily distort how good the care actually is, there was surprisingly little methodology in the article.
Meh I don't think your example about machine learning is particularly apropos...or even very accurate.

If welfare and food stamps are better than performing farm labor then farm wages and working conditions clearly haven't improved enough yet.

I accept your data/claims at face value, that illegal immigration and temporary worker visas have suppressed wages of the poor in some sectors so much that even increasing the wage 5x is insufficient to attract native laborers. What we disagree on is whether or not that wage suppression is a good thing.
I don't live in the US and I don't pretend that it's a perfect place either, but there's still a big difference between the two countries.

Yes, that's what the article said they do. That is perfectly legal with the DVDs. You are allowed to resell things you buy, that's the first sale doctrine, and it's why you can sell a used book or DVD without paying a licensing fee. But it's unclear if it applies to the download code.

This is literally what the article was about.
They do have better margins due to their tenants signing short term leases at a higher price point.

Honestly I’m kind of tired of it because I’m trying to watch three or four shows right now that I have caught up on my TiVo that all have big story arcs. On top of that I’m watching the number of shows that are still airing that have big story arcs.

At this point I really like the show that generally has episodic content just as a simple break. Not everything needs to have a giant arc.
Interesting approach. We could really use a reverse-proxy-for-websockets thing.

Man, I'm so over dongles.

For the graphics cards that these laptops have... they aren't like super powerful. I can't, for example, game at 60 FPS on a 4k Monitor on a MacBook Pro. So the use case for needing more than 60 FPS, or more than a 4k display, seems more like an edge case to me.

Mostly what I want is to be able to plug into projectors when I'm with a client so I can share a pitch deck. Instead... I've got this massive USB-C to VGA / USB dongle, and another for USB-C to HDMI, and yet another for USB-C to Thunderbolt for my work monitor. Anywhere I go I've gotta lug around a laptop bag now, and it's full of dongles.

The OLD 15" MBPs were perfect. Good mix of ubiquitous ports, and Apple's proprietary Thunderbolt ports. I have yet to find anything other than dongles that use USB-C. Just like I have yet to find anything other than Apple Thunderbolt Displays that actually use Thunderbolt.

AMD h/w pretty much always supports ECC DIMMs, it just depends on whether the MoBo propagates that to the sockets, as it takes more traces.
On the contrary, I think virtual worlds will (eventually) be one of the killer applications of blockchains.

People will be more likely to invest real time and money into virtual goods/currency/reputation if they can’t be confiscated by a corporation for arbitrary reasons. The idea will really take off once virtual goods are “portable” between games. At that point you don’t really have disparate “games” but rather a... Metaverse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaverse)

(I don’t imagine all virtual goods will be universally portable. You might be able to bring your CryptoKitties into Second Life but not World of Warcraft, for example...)

Trying to glue the legacy of Venezuela to Corbyn is silly. I am well aware of Corbyn's admiration of Hugo Chavez defying American intervention in Venezuela.

If the various papers in England want to keep up that theme, they should explore Conservative ties to Saudi Arabia and Pinochet's regime.

When we started the project, we expected to use a standard, eBay-style, rising auction with successive bids, but that resulted in way too many on-chain transactions. So, we had to find a kind of auction that required just two committed transactions: Starting the auction, and claiming the winning bid. The answer was a descending clock auction, where you set some start price and gradually drop the price over time until someone chooses to pay. (It's formally equivalent to a first-price, sealed bid auction, if you're an auction theory aficionado!)

The common name for a descending clock auctions? "Dutch Auction" or "Tulip Auction". The irony is not lost on us...

It's possible, but I've never seen any evidence and it seems obviously wrong. CEO is not the only position that requires ambition. How about surgeon, another profession that requires an immense amount of work over a very long time? But surgeons are 59% male, not 95%: https://wire.ama-assn.org/education/how-medical-specialties-...

Also, CEOs are not solely driven by ambition, it's one of the best-paying jobs in the world. If women were somehow less motivated by profit than men, I think economists would have noticed by now.

So of course it's possible, but I don't think it's a good idea to push these theories without any evidence. It gives people an easy way out, so they can rest easy that there's no real societal issue, it's just unchanging biology out of anyone's control. But there are very real, very obvious societal problems that would close at least some of this gap, and they can't be ignored just because they're hard to fix. If there's some kind of ambition gap, of course we need to know, but don't spread that idea until there's a reason to. There's plenty of problems with mountains of evidence that need to be solved.
What you are doing is "nutpicking" there.
Unfortunately the iOS support is a sham. I tested myself, and the rumors that iOS does not randomize MACs turns out to be true. Not only does it not simply change over time, it doesn't even change when you restart the device. I walked around for a week, and my MAC never changed.

Apparently, if it ever works at all, you have to run settings that nobody uses - including, iirc, not being connected to a cell tower. I used to spread the same FUD of "iOS does this!", but the truth is it's a lie.
Hiring people is expensive. Training people is expensive. Retaining good employees is good business sense. Encouraging employees to look after themselves can reduce costs. Helping employees be fulfilled and letting them use their judgement about what to work on (within reason) can pay dividends. Many companies recognise this, and the success of those companies and their freedom to succeed in this way are strong arguments for the capitalist system.

Maybe that's what you meant. It's clear you intended some irony in your post, but I'm afraid it seems more likely that it was meant to convey distrust and aggression, not something more constructive.
The fee is only paid if it doesn't go through. So I still fail to see how that reflects the chance of success.
Ask them what their budget is. If they don't know or refuse to say, offer to help them calculate the market opportunity or efficiency savings (depending on nature of project) in terms of revenue. Use this to get a budget out of them and then let them know what they can expect for that budget.
We take a cut of all auctions facilitated by our smart contract, but we put no restrictions on owners' ability to transfer or sell their Kitties outside our site.

Perhaps that’s also depends on your expertise or stage you’re at. I’d say if I continuously do this for five years, all the positive points described by OP probably not as useful anymore.

I've been experimenting with pfSense running via KVM on my Linux workstation. Was considering buying a Ubiquiti ER-4, but I don't think I can go back.

I'm considering buying a CompuLab fitlet 2 to give pfSense a permanent home but may end up leaving it on my workstation. The increase in power consumption over leaving my workstation on 24/7 is probably neglible. But the fitlet2 seems simpler.

Traditional "vacation time" in software companies is really toxic. It's a justification that allows companies to burn people out without looking bad. A sustainable interesting career doesn't need breaks scattered across the year. It's a subtle admission that workers are so burnt out they need a break every few weeks just to continue to function, which is a sign of a poorly managed company.

Contrast this with sabbaticals, which are given to tenured professors who have been working for a lifetime so they can achieve something non-academic. Why do we acknowledge that professors may want to achieve something outside of their workplace, while not giving programmers a sabbatical to do the same?

What's different is that the corporate offerings used to be extra features or monitoring or support--things that were sometimes nice, sometimes must haves.

Now the corporate offering is the ability to run the code in a way that makes it useful. Setting up tensorflow is easy (at least, when I looked at the docs it seemed to be), but running tensorflow so you get useful answers out of it in a performant manner--that requires knowledge and data that can't be encoded in code.

So the corporate offering that is tied to open source goes from being a nice to have (or perhaps a requirement) to a hard requirement.

Being that these products are catered more towards enterprise, and pro-sumer users I would think they'd be inclined to release patches in a timely manner. After taking a quick peek at their software change logs going back to ~2013, they consistently release monthly patches.
I hear a lot about kids being kids, and adults being "childish." By the time I was ten, I could read Michael Crichton and Frank Herbert, and although I wasn't a mathematical wiz, I did have an innate understanding of the scientific method.

I'm of the mind that children have a precocial learning intelligence similar in rank and power to the adult mind--that is, the moment a child is born, they begin to absorb and construct knowledge about the world, with the only difference to the adult mind being that adults have more context for their "world theory"--and that it's the duty of the public to acknowledge and foster this.

When I consider that some people talk to children with "baby talk," I wonder how many people have been hurt by `keeping parrots with chickens` (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrot#Intelligence_and_learni...) so to speak. It's a controversial theory that might garner criticism, but that may be a failing--children can hear voices in the womb before they're born, talking to them in infancy as if they can't understand their mother's language is, at first, disrespectful, and later, possibly inhibits their development.
You have to apply the context before you call the (correct) headline misleading. This is a physical sciences context so this is the correct use of "ordered" -- as in "order and disorder", i.e. symmetry and correlation. You're talking about "ordered" as in "ordinal", meaning "related to position in a series", which makes more sense in a computer science context (and we are on HN), but still -- it is your job to apply the context to the situation, not anyone else's.
No real comment on anything you've written (which seems a good reply to me). Right, I think it could be quite expensive to insure. My point is that if you are investing $10 million into bitcoin today you will likely make a great return by Dec' 2021 if you actually spend literally $6 million of that (60%) on insurance that pays out only if it goes to less than 10% of its current price or gets stolen from you. So out of $10 million invested, only $4 million makes it into your position * 5x = $20 million, or 2x return over 4 years for an 18.9% year over year return. (1.189^4 = 2, i.e. the left side is the compound interest formula.)

I also have perhaps these two quite minor points,

- Why do you say gold is stable? (You write "the appeal of gold is that it's a hard asset and it's stable"). Here is its real price over just the past 10 years: https://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/au3650nyb.html - doesn't seem particularly stable to me. It seems more likely that the appeal of gold is 1) its historical use, and general acceptance as value, and 2) its inherent scarcity, i.e. its value reflects its scarcity.

- Also you say bitcoin would "reflect inflation" - but where do you think inflation comes from? Wikipedia says it's just a direct effect of an increase in the money supply, but bitcoin doesn't have such a mechanism.
I love the balance of humour and story, and don't agree the jokes are terrible. To say that is to not get it. The momentary comedy is subtle and light without breaking the flow of drama.

It's only 400 years in the future, there's no "beam me up" tech yet, and people are still flawed and "Earthy". I like this aspect, which is reflected in the jokes...

"Our last captain let us have soda on the bridge, and I just wanted to check that was still okay"... "Sure, if you don't spill any on the equipment".

The jokes come and go in the blink of an eye. They are not meant to be killer jokes, it's just a nice unpretentious segway from the main action. This for me, is a "maturity" in Macfarlane's style - not leaning too heavily on brute force humour or scene-stealing punch lines.

There's an efficiency in the writing I appreciate. Each character has individual expression, and each episode is quite unique - different directors are behind each episode. Overall there's quite exciting action and suspense at times, it's highly enjoyable and looks sharp.

Right, exactly. I don't think the explanation always needs to come first — my toddler knows not to touch the oven, but doesn't understand why. Someday he will, but for now he just needs to fucking listen so he doesn't injure himself.

Even as adults, there are plenty of "rules first, explanation later" situations — and there are plenty of rules that people obey without knowing why. It's not so bad.
