I think their AI is programmed to keep people on the site and therefore they leave bugs in like:
When you scroll down and a video pops out, you're suddenly at the top
When you like a message in chat, on desktop, you have to hover a few times until it shows up.
These are bugs, but they keep you using the site longer.. I just leave when they do that.
It's really funny to me to just how much junk information there is in the coffee world and just how strongly people believe it. Even here on hackernews it seems. This is the exact sort of 'fact' that sounds good, and makes you feel like you know what you're talking about.

I'm a roaster. All coffee is sorted by size, or at least all quality coffee. It's necessary, not only for an even roast, but it's also an inherent part of green coffee processing. You have to screen and sort the beans to dry them.

The reason grocery coffee is bad is simple. They roast it until the oils come out and then the oils go rancid because it has been sitting on the shelf for the last 6 months getting to you. Even if it hasn't gone rancid (way more common than you'd guess), it's still stale and overroasted. Americans expect coffee to be dark, bitter, and cheap... And so that's what they get. But what you said isn't true. Even the crappiest bulk market roaster/reseller roasts by size and the blends after. They literally don't have a choice.

To be fair, a lot of the junk info comes from roasters keen on delineating themselves in any way in a saturated market. Taking words that are true for everyone and making them seem unique to your business is a sales tactic ad old as time.

OTOH, the embedded context is kind of special in that you can hyper-optimize for each device, right?

For example: a program that runs on a desktop may have to take into account many edge-cases, but if an embedded device has quirks then they always apply for that device, so you can remove the "non-edge case" code from the binary.

One area I see why FB is losing a lot of users is that there's just too much noise generated, where the content which people may find to some degree useful is being crowded by the same repetitive ads, notifications, (fake) news and headlines that are being circulated around within your interests (friends, followed stuffs, etc.).

I recall when FB was immersive because it provided you content which you relate to - people you know, people you follow, interests that makes you feel that this social tool is enriching your life. Nowadays, FB is like a river with too much garbage on it. You won't enjoy swimming, much less even enjoy what you are seeing.

I don't think most people have fully internalized the fact that insurance companies are fully invested in rising medical costs since their margins are regulated and their BoD are looking for rising profits. Their "everybody wins!" means everyone who pays for medical care loses.

They would rather drive lower cost independent doctors into a higher cost hospital systems as long as all of their competitors pay the same... and they do.
As an estimate I think we can safely say it's not conservative. Especially if this is actually developers (ie straight up coders) and not also all of their supporting personnel.

The district used to be poor and black (back when the school was created) its pretty middle class and gentrified these days though. The freeway that cuts through there mostly is surrounded by industry and a hospital until it gets further north of the school. Part of this widening proposal is actually to cap sections of the freeway where it cuts through the more commercial part to the south of the school.

Unfortunately the school is really in a shit place regardless of widening or not. It shouldn’t be next to a freeway.
Not very. There is a huge difference between graphics rendering and interactive UI. By the time you add proper cross platform text rendering, a proper layout system, image/video/audio (incl. multirate streaming), resolution scaling, accessibility, compositing, animation, etc. you won't have such a thin client anymore. Plus you'll probably want cross-platform consistent networking, storage and security too. Electron is so big because it reinvents every possible wheel in exactly this way to provide maximum consistency.

Plus, you will have to deal with the fact that while you can push large amounts of computation out quickly to the GPU, reading back the results to CPU involves long latencies and scheduling issues. It often results in a loss of the kind of generality people take for granted in pure CPU programming, from little things like not being able to printf() in the middle of a program, to larger things like having to manually hook up every function call in GPU land by submitting a detailed description of your specific desired calling convention in triplicate (i.e. uniforms, varyings and attributes).

The alternative model is platform specific front-ends backed by a mostly universal back-end library. Used successfully by Transmission, VLC, and others. All the conveniences of being tailored to each platform in terms of UX and integration, but with the same basic broad functionality. But few companies will want to pay for 2x the devs, while in the open source world in practice the various platforms diverge so much they almost feel like different apps entirely. Still, it is much preferable over a 300MB+ hog that can't display more than 2 screenfuls of chat.
The thing about people is an excellent point. The ability to work in teams would be on my personal list, but the author seemed to direct it at patience with a technical focus.
> without any form of active cooling

Correct, without active cooling basically every CPU or GPU out there will throttle after extended play sessions. The point isn't to compare an iPad to a workstation but rather an (Apple) ARM SoC to an (Intel) x86 CPU. The chip itself and the implementation in a device are different things. The intrinsic performance of the chip is what you see in those short bursts. The implementation performance is what you see in the long runs. Saying a chip is no good because it doesn't get enough cooling makes no sense.

Anecdata: I have a laptop and a desktop both with Intel i7 3770 CPUs. The laptop CPU always throttles even without extended use while the desktop never does it. What's the conclusion, that the i7 3770 is much better than the i7 3770 because the i7 3770 won't throttle after long play sessions while the i7 3770 will?
Is it a problem though.

Maybe I’m missing something, but discussions on the cost of medicine never seem to question whether using prescription drugs is the right choice to begin with.

IMO, it would be far preferable to treat pharmaceuticals as a last resort, focusing instead on preventative medicine and addressing the underlying social issues that cause the medicine to be prescribed in the first place. From the article:

Hep C kills more people in the United States than all other infectious diseases combined. Cases are soaring, largely caused by injection of heroin and opiates; it’s a blood-borne virus spread by sharing needles.

Surely the solution to this epidemic is to address the underlying drug problems first?

Edit: I’m not suggesting that the treatments be ignored or that people who already have the disease aren’t helped. But rather that if X disease has an increase in cases, the only solution shouldn’t be to treat it - it should also be to figure out why it’s increasing and then try to prevent it.

You’re not wrong, but colloquially it’s common for people to use “exponentially” to mean “a lot”. Just like it’s common for people to use “massive” to mean “big” (i.e. large spatial volume).
Hmm, not sure this is the best debate strategy:

"I destroyed one of your points, and I could foresee myself doing the same with the others if I bothered to answer them. Therefore it's invalid for you to raise these questions."

I'd also point out that you didn't actually address any of the questions listed. A general study about American vehicles as a whole being single occupancy doesn't imply much of anything about this particular case, hence "by dealing with averages, it obscures the distribution", which you demonstrated with your response, rather than undermined.

I have heard that even actual desktop level processors like ThunderX2 aren't as good as Intel processors. So, what chances do A12X have really?
If you mean "they have less cache on board, less cores, different integrated gpu; they don't support higher frequency ddr and they have limits on the memory bandwidth" then no, that doesn't address the point. Intel does have different chips with all of those changed. But they also have SKUs with all of those the same but different power budgets and different frequencies. And really things like cache barely use any power at all in the overall context of the chip. SRAM, especially the 8T SRAM Intel uses, is very efficient.

> you can't just 'cool away' leakage currents

You certainly can, the leakage current is going to be proportional to (1-e^(-qV/KT)) so better leakage will tend to go down exponentially at lower temperatures. Yes, I know what you actually meant and you're still wrong there because if you have better cooling you can accept more leakage, meaning you can use a process with a lower threshold voltage and accept the larger amount of leakage current that results.
The existence of regenerative breaking means that the amount of pollution from the little friction breaking still necessary should be much less.

no one has cared about RISC vs CISC for decades; they care about TCO (which includes the network effects of their preferred software stack, etc).
ARMs big problem is that it's been overpromising (to the desktop and server world) for years. ultimately, joules-per-flop is going to be the same, no matter whether the FPU is wrapped inside x86 or ARM. so the question becomes: how cheap are decent/high-end ARM chips going to be? it's not nice to be "ahead" in a race to the bottom.
They're not going to proxy the 0RTT to the origin to determine if they accept it or not, so it's two separate questions of accepting it from clients and offering it to origins. For clients, especially mobile or satellite clients, the latency win from one round trip saved may be worth the risk; for origins, the worst latency is probably not too much, and connection reuse over multiple client requests likely reduces the total number of connections made.
