You're right, it is that easy. The first one I found came from the BBC, which is generally regarded as reputable, by almost everybody on both sides of the Red/Blue war: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41853131

What's the right phrasing? The way you phrased it fit a pattern in my mind. That's not much of a concern if other people don't share that pattern. (Judging by the downvotes, not many do.) To placate me, you might say "just search, and pick a source that you consider reliable" - that eliminates the possibility of some fringe view whose only sources are fringe. But that's me - that works for a sample of one; any further applicability is uncertain.

> Or do I need to source everything?

That might be the answer. Posts are read more than they are written. If you google it, you save 10 or 1000 readers from having to google it. (Of course, if some of your readers consider BBC to be "fringe" or "part of the deep state" or whatever, the link you choose from the search may not satisfy them...)
I agree with you that it's important to find a therapist that "clicks" with you, but I'm convinced that taking the first step and making an appointment is the hardest part. An order of magnitude harder than making a second or third appointment. Therefore, I think the most important problem in mental health is getting people through the front door and sitting in someone's office.
I'm not in favor of content owners being able to enforce conditions on usage.

Imagine if your shovel from Home Depot contained a little gps unit and connected to your phone via bluetooth to allow you to license it for usage at different sites with different rates and terms and packages you could sign up for. Buy the homeowner package for only 9.99 a year for one site. Buy the groundskeeper package for 24.99 a year for any site within a 3 mile radius of a given point. Licence unlimited locations for only 49.99 a year!

Want to lend your shovel to your friend no problem just login to your account and share a link and ensure your friend pays the 4.99 fee!

If it doesn't make sense for a shovel I'm not sure why it makes sense for anything else.

Market segmentation certainly means money but I don't see why we as consumers should buy into it or care if its violated.
Yeah I have both FIOs and Comcast available to me in Harford County. Have the former now.
In America a person can eat two pieces of pizza and maybe a side salad plus a drink and that's plenty. Pizzas have eight slices in their "default" configuration, so one pizza feeds 4 developers.

Note: I hate 90% of pizza.
> the easily observed phenomenon that some developers are 10x more productive than other developers.

How are you measuring? LOC? Semi-colons per hour? story points? If you're measuring in "dollars earned", how do you think their managers are measuring? And can they tell the difference between a 10x programmer and an 11x programmer?
A little over two more orders of magnitude price increase before the next two halfenings and it's guaranteed to cause a world energy crisis.
There is a cottage industry of people selling trainings and courses for trading options. As you'd expect, this tends to attract many of the same people as the older day trading training industry. If you visit /r/options or /r/algotrading you'll see plenty of this spam in action. Instead of learning options theory from first principles, these courses focus on rote memorization of common patterns (e.g. "what is an iron condor"). Naturally the market is efficient enough that such a brittle understanding of derivatives and market dynamics is not consistently profitable.

The people in the know (those who actually beat the market) don't teach other people how to trade, because giving away information is strictly less profitable than trading on it yourself (or on behalf of your firm). They also very rarely trade their own capital, and typically work within funds. This sets up a dynamic where it's extraordinarily difficult to learn the "proper" principles of derivatives trading in a sound framework of market microstructure unless you join a firm, because all public information on the subject is almost definitionally misleading. The next best thing is to learn from established textbooks, but surprise, very few people want to read three - five textbooks with advanced mathematics instead of watching a few webinars on "the greeks."
The 10x developer narrative is intriguing because 10x developers aren't being paid 10x (maybe more like 2.5x), yet it's held up as a personal goal. Unless you own your own company, you're basically aspiring to deliver actual millions of dollars in uncompensated value to your employer.
This just proves there is a vibration produced. Is it "sound" if it doesn't fall on any ears?
Maybe they should have sold a share rather than leasing it? If a user owns an antenna and views their own stream, that's a private performance.
> You've just helped me realize that AMD and Nvidia overproduce every GPU and kill off the execution cores that don't work to reach the final fixed number (and that all GPUs probably have a few tens to hundreds of working cores that will never ever be used).

That's basically the idea, but it's usually scaled down. A single GPU generation is essentially one chip design. If a single die has a defect in a particular unit, its turned/soldered off at the factory and sold as a lower end chip. Repeat until you have a chip that works. If you have a die where everything works, clock it up as much as you can, and ask a king's ransom for it.

The best exception is the PS3 "Cell" CPU.[0] It had an extra 'sacrificial' processing core.

I wasn't particularly fond of the article, I prefer Antirez's take on it:

That's the status quo with net neutrality, it's repeal may or may not have an effect on it. It's going to be interesting to watch.
We live in a place that supposedly has multiple wired providers. However, if you want more than about a megabyte a second, your "choice" is comcast. DSL exists but is maybe 20x phone line modem speed.

But we have a "choice" of providers, so we're competitive! This is in sfbay peninsula.
Accurate, although in most cases, the art is not in choosing the algorithm (often a regular feed-forward, covolutional or recurrent neural network) but the hyperparameters (regularization, number of layers, units, etc.) and sometimes the way the data is fed (augment the dataset with distortions? sample negative examples randomly? etc.)
Thanks for that link. I take lots of photos and only want to save the best. I bought a lightning->SD card adapter but the Photos app would only show pictures in a grid. I wanted to see them as large as possible so I could pick the one with the fewest number of eyes closed or whatever.

"One of the most welcomed new features we’ve come across is the ability to preview your photos full-screen. Before iOS 12, you could only see small thumbnails of photos when importing, which made it all but impossible to select a particular image in a sequence if there wasn’t much visual difference. Now, you can pinch out on a thumbnail and see a full-size preview."

That might not work as smoothly as I hope. I'd like to go through 100 photos, all full-size, checking the ones I want. The limiting factor might be that it takes about a second to import each photo. Although you'd think if you were viewing them sequentially it could be loading the next one while you were looking at this one.
Wait a minute. Couldn't Google do this even with net neutrality? If I put a web server on the public internet, I'm perfectly free to refuse connections arbitrarily. It's only ISPs, who are routing traffic, that are required to route everything the same under NN.
while the supply of digital coins is infinite (you could fork btc, or any other chain, or create different coins that could then be forked) the supply of Bitcoins is finite & knowable. this is a component of the argument by "maximalists" who suggest that alternate coins/tokens are bullshit by design, and anybody who thinks they aren't is necessarily in favor of inflationary money.

That sounds exactly backwards. Google argued for net neutrality because they said it benefits everyone, not just them. And it does benefit everyone. Google doesn't have to justify things politically. At the same time, Google doesn't always do everything it can in the public interest, it sometimes does things that primarily benefit itself.
SMPTE recommend a viewing angle of 30 degrees, which matches THX (26-36).

Assuming you have 20/20 vision, You won't be able to tell the distance between 4K and higher unless your screen fills more than about 40 degrees, in which case you are losing detail at the edges.

An 8K monitor on your desk may make sense -- if you're say 3' away from it and it's say 60", you'll start noticing a difference between 4k and 8k, however you will be focused on one area of the screen, rather than the entire screen.

Even with 4K, for most people watching television/films the main (only) benefits are HDR and increased temporal resolution (60p vs 60i/30p)

All the 8K stuff I've seen comes with 22.2 sound to help direct your vision to the area of the screen wanted. It certainly has applications in room sized screens where there are multiple events going on, and you can choose what to focus on (sport for example).

If you were to buy a 32" 8K screen - say the UP3218K, about 28" wide, to get the benefit of going above 4K you would need to be sat within about 30 inches. At 30" you would have the screen filling about 50 degrees of vision. Even an immersive film should only be 40 degrees.
They could first start small – municipalities, LANs, HOA-based WANs, consolidating slowly. It's like you're saying that no ISP progress will ever be made if someone is not using existing AT&T networks.

We're still working out how to get to Mars. Currently it will take close to a year. The longest time someone has spent in space has been just over a year.

It is not easy. It is not quick.

Even if we travel at the fastest possible speed, it takes 4 years to get to the next star. So, where are they? Too far away to reach.

The assumption that these problems are possible to overcome is a big one.
I tried to lean on good faith but using common terminology as is and then redefining it in the body of the article is clickbait: alternatives that aren’t baity would include ‘how to really become a 10x developer’ or ‘rethinking what it means to be a 10x developer’.
More than half of households have two or more broadband providers at 25 mbps+; with 5G, the typical household is going to have 2-4 such providers. Two providers isn't a highly competitive market, but it's the same level of competition as exists for mobile platforms, and that seems to work fine.
My understanding of Google Fiber is that they ran into to many headaches from existing telecom companies while trying to expand their fiber infrastructure. Instead of continuing to fight such an uphill battle they are trying to make a wireless approach work.

I haven't heard much recently from their more standard wireless attempts (other than Loom being used in Puerto Rico) but they did invest (jointly with Fidelity) $1 billion into SpaceX. The assumption is the SpaceX investments are specifically to support the SpaceX Starlink constellation which if successful could bring wireless internet to pretty much all of the planet.

I think the person you're responding to was saying there's a misconception of what autopilot means in general. People think autopilot is some form of automation for planes but its not. Though I could be reading the person's comment wrong.
Here's some possible scenarios that illustrate what could play out:

- They could zero-rate their own offerings, making them available at a very low price and not counting them against data usage.

- They could offer no-cost access to some of their own offerings with a compatible, captive piece of equipment (e.g. handset, modem, cable box).

- They could charge third-parties more per unit of data for interconnect, creating financial pressure on them that makes third-parties consider no longer interconnecting with that provider. This will make customers choose between having that particular ISP or having access to that particular content provider. Some portion will choose to stay with the ISP, likely cancelling any ongoing subscriptions to the content provider.
Stateless services are all nice and dandy, and all the marketing you'll see is about stateless services. The trouble starts when you:

- run a stateful service that's not explicitly designed to work well in a distributed fashion.

- have services that need to be started in a precise order.
"Real numbers" here refers to a very specific construction of numbers. There is pretty good argument, which the actual post is about, that states this construction is actually rather unrealistic.

The issue being that there are way to many "real numbers".
> A 10x engineer isn’t someone who is 10x better than those around them, but someone who makes those around them 10x better.

This makes things even more confusing. What do we call the former, then? 10x individual contributors are absolutely a reality. It is generally more about horizontal skills and cutting though things to identify what really matters to the business. If you are a ticket taker, your output will be very limited. But if you can read between the lines and understand what stakeholders are _trying_ to do, but are struggling to clearly communicate, and if you can find creative ways to solve larger problems, and gracefully move around priorities in the roadmap, you are very likely worth 10x-100x other team members who may have similar titles.
That's up to the pilot isn't it? is Auto his real name?
It's not about adding a method or two, I showed one symptom of a much larger problem. Of course one can add a method, but then why bother with the default crippled implementation in the first place? I'd rather have nothing and go find a third party library than having a half-assed one that's almost useless.

There’s already a TPM in most computers, and the TPM can do this for you.

Be careful, though: there are real TPMs (actual chips built by companies that, in theory, know how to build secure-ish hardware) and there are firmware-emulated TPMs. I think that Intel and AMD both offer the latter. Intel calls its offering “platform trust technology”. I take that to mean “please trust our platform even though there is sometimes a web server running on the same chip as the so-called TPM”.
>magical fountain of fake dollars

The problem though is that if ether really were a "magical fountain of fake dollars" that would be reflected somewhere in the market price of tethers. Look at the price charts for tether->USD it's pretty nominally 1:1
https://cryptowat.ch/markets/kraken/usdt/usd

The most contrarian one could argue is that people who sold bitcoin for fraudulent tethers haven't tried to withdrawal them /at all/ and therefore the tetherUSD liquidity hasn't been tested.
I agree, I am riding on the backs of people using RHEL. There is a direct contractual relationship between those companies and Redhat. In my case, I am relying on the other companies having that relationship and I can still say some effort is being made to validate the supported packages. While I can not sue anyone, I can say that I am using an OS that has some degree of code validation and feature set stability.

For sure, things like npn, gems, cpan, pear, pip, etc... is basically back to square one with Joe Random. Each of those things can be pulled into a code repo, built internally and turned into RPM packages. I agree that the effort to code diff review these things is quite large. It is likely still a smaller effort than rewriting all of this code from scratch.
Some of those are factual, many (here on HN especially) of those user comments are inflated values.

I mean, sure, I agree. I was merely describing a type of multi leg option.

The premium on a 10% move option wouldn't be as high as you think. There's a lot of risk/reward here.

You'll pay a really high premium if your prediction is 'i think it will go up 2% in the next 9 months" :)
Wow great work! I'm stunned. Not really by the pose-recognition, that's just a bonus.
Thanks for this analogy. I've spent a lot of time explaining that the fact that a currency is officially supported by a state makes all the difference, but your comparison is just perfect.
If there is more demand for cell service the cell companies will build more towers. Lower the power levels and use higher frequency bands to reduce interference.

By your numbers, 200 clients x $50/mo $10k revenue per mo for a tower. A new cell tower costs $150k, so it pays for itself in 15 months.
No, don't do online therapy. For one, it costs the same as in person. But most importantly, the way a good therapist works is by reflecting and empathizing with you. And this is only effective when you are in a room together, their focus is on you, you don't have distractions, and you see their face and hear their voice. The content of their words is secondary. It's all about developing a human connection and opening up.

Even the process of getting up, driving to their office, writing the check, the fact that you have to be on time and have only this one window of time to talk, it all matters because it's a series of tangible steps you're completing for your own self improvement.

Also I'd add that educated Greek slaves were much more expensive than uneducated non-Greek slaves so there was economic value in continuing to educate them.
I feel the same way. Working out _feels_ boring and it's chore.

Back in 2014 I got past that. Worked out 2 a days, 5 days a week, dieted hard too, dropped 60 lbs and felt the best in my life, had fun working out and setting performance goals. That lasted about two years.

After the two years I had a shitty 2 months, depressed and drinking. I gained back 40lbs and now I'm back to square one. Working out is boring and a chore. I _remember_ a time when I felt differently about it.

I suspect a lot of the "boredom" comes from the low-grade anxiety of feeling busy or feeling my time is better spent progressing in my interest or towards some other goal.

Cubans drive 50 year old cars because their closest neighbor, who is also a superpower, has been enforcing sanctions on them for decades. It's disenguous to try and measure how a system works then another party is putting their foot on the scale.

As for private buildouts being better than government funded infrastructure, that is only true as long as profit is your single measure of "better".

When it comes to services that we don't want any downtime for and want everyone to have access to, then government funded infrastructure has done better than capitalist forces. Water and electricity are both services we want everyone to have access to that as uninterrupted as possible. It's still not perfect as situations like Flint or industrial water usage in California pulling out water without paying enough to be sustsinable, but a capitalist system for those services would lead to many not being able to pay enough for access and going without as well as interruptions in service as companies push their systems to the bone for efficiency or go out of business
>In fact, they've been strenuously stating, over and over again, that these aren't self-driving cars.

The Tesla fans keep repeating this, but it flies in the face of the description of Autopilot on Tesla's website. I can't tell if they are being deliberately ignorant, or what. But the fact that Tesla claims you can press a button and summon your car, at least in my mind, says "cars that drive themselves".
