I feel that media outlets such as Bloomberg always give Buffet an easy ride. For example, I want to know his thoughts on toast. Could toast replace newspapers, for instance? Pixellated IoT toasters have existed for decades that are capable of simple weather reporting (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/03/30/java_toaster_prints...). Could we one day read Warren Buffett's thoughts on toast, on toast? And will Bloomberg be forced to go into baking or will they be supplying the toasters? Nobody in the media seems to be interested in asking these questions.

Yes. 30 seconds is too much.

In Santiago, during national soccer matches everyone would watch, goals would reach us through the sound of neighbors rejoicing sooner than they would from actual television coverage because the satellite dish had a latency of say 3 seconds over cable.
The Company That Sells Love to America Had a Dark Secret
It's not illegal to drive down prices in a competitive environment. In fact, economic theory says that in a sector that has 'perfect' competition, prices will essentially be the cost of production.

What Amazon is currently doing isn't illegal. In the future, if they abuse their dominant position to jack up prices, they might be in some trouble. But running on thin margins isn't illegal, and it seems Amazon has created avenues to produce profit without increasing prices, thus falling within the law and also with what economic theory predicts should happen.
TBH, even humans shit themselves when they encounter monikers with spaces in them.

Can you spot the moniker with spaces in it in this sentence easily without having to go back and re-read? Without context, did I mean "moniker" or "moniker with spaces in it"?

Spaces are a terrible idea in monikers.
Economically speaking, the question should boil down to "is Amazon operating in a contestable market, and/or are they engaging in abusive behavior to raise barriers to entry in the market, lowering its contestability". The notion of predatory pricing per se, in contrast, is not really well-defined. Is there some inherent reason why the suppliers and wholesalers who are supposedly being harmed by this monopoly could not simply move to an established competitor, e.g. eBay, Alibaba or whatever, or even start a platform of their own along more favorable principles?
Yep! The one thing I would change though is that it's common for workflows to be started by an event. So in your example, the first step would be UserService.signupUser, that emits a sign-up event, that starts a workflow that sends the email.

Without the workflow/orchestration, we're effectively coupling the EmailService to the UserService, and it's that type of coupling that reduces reusability and isolation.
Where do you go to get the box made? What is its cost? And what is shipping cost (for ex within GA) per box? Does shipping cost increase by weight too?

Oh come on. You're clearly engineering on how to evade antitrust law. But the better argument is simply that if antitrust law doesn't sufficiently cover Amazon's business, then it needs to be changed to ensure that it does.
Also, if the specification is too formal, no one besides academics would understand it and thus it would pretty useless as practical documentation.
Wait. Hold on. You're acting like Medicaid doesn't exist. Firstly I bet that in most states if you're making $23,000 a year don't make enough for the ACA not too much so that you end up on Medicaid.

Loss leaders are to bring customers in with the hope of selling them some higher margin products, predatory pricing is selling products below the price to push competition out of business.
> Fuck proprietary drivers though, and fuck Nvidia.

I'd normally agree, but it's far easier for me to pick and choose software than hardware, and Nvidia makes the best GPUs by a huge margin (particularly if you care about power efficiency). Not to mention the issue of CUDA, which HPC and ML applications rely on pretty much exclusively and for which there's no support in open source drivers AFAIK.

As for the reasons to switch, I acknowledge your list as objective advantages. Unfortunately, I happen to be among the people who don't care for high DPI (1440p is more than enough for me), touchscreens (leave those to phones) or touchpads (TrackPoint forever), so I guess I'll be sticking to X11 for the foreseeable future. A guarantee against screen tearing is nice, but I've rarely seen it on the setups I run (admittedly, mostly on high end hardware), whereas low input lag, stability and driver support are things I am loathe to forgo.

Yeah, this would be the top 1% in Toronto from my research. You'd have an even harder time achieving this over here in Vancouver.
Online blinded-to-publisher exchange-based ads are the most democratic mode of news support. Having them be user-relevant instead of content-relevant allowed us to support content creators without doubling on the clickbait problem.

The death of online targeted ads is going to be sad for this. I can't think of a cheaper way to pay for stuff. It's the only way I was able to see so many incredible videos or pictures or articles.

My kids and I will be fine because I have money now but previous me would have trouble in the coming all-paywall universe. We're going to be better informed than anyone else and reinforce the positive feedback loop of wealth begetting wealth.

Good luck to everyone else.
If your understanding of unions begins and ends in terms of what's "in it for me" then I'd urge you to rephrase the question: "what's in it for us?" And then expand "us" to the people you care about. As it turns out, quite a lot. In the original article, we're potentially talking about the safety and privacy of hundreds of millions.

In more day-to-day union campaigns, you'd be organizing so that your coworkers can have a place to work where they're not harassed, underpaid, or bullied by systems out of their control to create technology that harms people. Admittedly in the US it's not much leverage we have, but you could rest assured that if you were victim of an injustice by your boss, they'd have your back too.

It's about taking back just a little bit of control over what you use your skills to work on, and how. Some people would rather take orders from their boss until they die, but especially in software there seems to a collective desire for more accountability from the bottom up, and maybe a union is what that will look like.
> John Yoo called her the "day-to-day manager of the Patriot Act in Congress."

I'm surprised they didn't hire John "Torture Memo" Yoo himself. Was Newstead really that much of a bargain? I know this is snarky, but these people lawyered some pretty serious evil into the world.
The Crisis Was in the System (2018)
Fighting back against police officers is both illegal and a death sentence, regardless of your innocence. Whether that should be the case is a matter of debate, but if you fire on police during a raid, you’re going to die. If you somehow manage to survive, you’re going to be in jail for a long time. It’s as simple as that.

Again, whether it should be this way is a matter of controversy, but that’s the way it is. As it currently stands, encouraging people to fight back with physical force against police is extremely irresponsible and shortsighted.
Vulkan was primarily designed to allow issuing batch based (queue) validated instructions sets, issued from multiple threads. Lessons learned from OpenGL ES 2.0 showed only a subset of techniques is needed, hence the API is smaller. Shaders are precompiled. Smaller, simpler driver.
“It upsets the people in the newsroom to talk that way, but the ads were the most important editorial content from the standpoint of the reader,” Buffett said."

That is an interesting point and true for Newspapers. The opposite is true for online newspapers.
Go digital and Concentrate on creating good content with a subscriber model, there are many willing to pay for consistently well written articles.
Then why could papers coexist with radio and TV? Why are all three dying now?

The internet allows hyper-targetting individuals - that's why money flows to the web. Advertising efficiency.

Pace or quality of news was never a factor - hell, if you want quality traditional media's websites are still the go-to. Distribution is really the only eroded moat of value.
I'm from Cadence team, so I'm obviously biased :).

Besides very different implementation backends the main difference is that Conductor defines workflows through a JSON based DSL and Cadence defines workflows as code. Because of that it is possible to extend Cadence to interpret Conductor DSL, but the reverse is not possible.

I believe that any non trivial workflows that have some state management requirements are more easily expressed as code. Any attempt to come up with JSON or XML or YAML or whatever language for workflows is always be inferior to existing programming languages like Go, Python or Java.
And that's the question that seems pretty clear cut as a violation - not currently provable but highly indicated by evidence. The portion of Amazon that sells things to consumers provides a clear incentive to raise barrier to entry in the market that they sell those things in - and Amazon also happens to own the market that these things are sold over.

This is part of the reason I think there should be concern over Amazon, Google & Apple's profitability (and to a lesser extent Microsoft and Valve) creating a walled garden app store opens up all sorts of crazy anti-trust exposure, just because the FTC is currently declawed doesn't mean that exposure doesn't exist, that risk is just being deferred.

In cases like Amazon where they are actively competing against competitors on their own platform... the question of how their suggestion algorithm works is a huge can of legal liability.
> Your whole line of thinking seems absurd to me. Why is it totally fine (by you) for someone to spend all their money on themselves, but not okay for them to gift it to someone?

Yes. They earned it, they should benefit from it. Wealth is society's way of rewarding you for creating value to society. That reward shouldn't be transferrable (beyond some trivial quantity). If they don't want to spend it on themselves, they should return it to society. Think about it dispassionately; why does your child deserve your money? They didn't do anything other than be born, so you're basically rewarding them with a privileged lifestyle just for existing. You're choosing to privilege people because of the circumstances of their birth, and I'd hoped we as a people have moved beyond that. They should rise to the level of their ability on their own and be rewarded accordingly. If they can't they shouldn't obtain the benefits and lifestyle. Those who deserve it in the next generation should. IMO, of course.

> How is this relevant? Marginal tax rate is a different unrelated thing. I for one, support a marginal tax rate of at least 70% on very high incomes. I think the people making less than $100k should pay a near-zero income tax, and people making above, say $2 million, should be taxed at least 70%. (Or, even better, at 90%.)

Fine by me :)

> Only after you've given away $11.18 million, does the annual $15K limit kick in.

Indeed, I'd forgotten that. I think that should be eliminated.

> This is patently not true. Plenty of countries let you open brokerage accounts without being a citizen or resident there. And US law doesn't prevent you from opening brokerage accounts abroad. (The FATCA has made it a PITA for foreign financial firms to deal with American clients, and they might turn you away; but for those who are not American, that's not an issue.)

Those who aren't "US Persons," which includes anyone resident in the US -- even anyone a tax resident of the US in the current year. Regardless of nationality. This one isn't FATCA related, it's SEC regulation:

"Under Regulation S of the Securities Act 1933, the SEC prohibits – among other things – foreign financial institutions that are not registered and regulated in the US abroad from soliciting US residents as clients." [1]

FATCA is awful, but it's not responsible for this.

Yes, absolutely. Huge deal for live sports.

It’s the entire reason that I won’t cut the cord.
I like the spirit of the ideas, but yeah I gotta say it's a little extreme to me.

Forcing people to spend money in their life time is going to incentivize consumerism. So I was super rich, and you want me to be forced to spend rather than invest and pass down to the next generation, I'm either going to try to pass it down illegally, or spend on things like sports cars and yachts and watches and fine wines and michelin star restaurants. None of them is as valuable as keeping it invested. On top of that, I'd divest all my holdings (which, if I didn't diversify well, means asset value in general will drop whenever someone super rich dies, which also opens up the opportunity for speculation, but that's beside the point).

This also doesn't take in the account of sudden death. What if you suddenly died at 45, with a $1.5 million estate? So you never had the opportunity to enjoy it. This will incentivize people to be a lot more near-sighted and again reinforces consumerism.

You mentioned having it being taxed at 90%. I'd say that's probably good, but I'd go a step to the right and say 90% on anything that's over $2mil, since your argument is contingent on a very very strong social safety net, which I do not think the United States has, and I would say it's also debatable on how strong you want the social safety net to be.

Just my two cents.

Before eeking out the small spaces in people's garages, we need to solve the issue of houses sitting empty due to money laundering and foreign investment. Why try to encourage people to convert their garages when they are hundreds of thousands of living units sitting completely empty for people's portfolios? I am libertarian, but I feel like in a housing crisis this is something that needs to be tamped down on ASAP
Why does it matter though? The absolute number without taking cost-of-living into account doesn't really mean anything.
Current non-foldable phones have gorilla glass on top of their display.
That's already an issue with radio vs TV which is where I'm getting the ~10 to 30 second value. Normal cable TV already has a bunch of delay and someone listening on the radio is often 15+ seconds ahead of you. This can be disruptive. If that person is at a bar or other gathering they will disrupt the viewing because they will cheer (or not cheer) well ahead of the event so the suspense is gone. I've seen this happen.

So given that what you are competing against (cable TV) already has a significant delay I doubt a normal web stream can't reach the same or better latency with just standard HTTP download of video files.

I was an employee worked for KP invested Startup by 3 extremely smart MIT Phds. Smartest people I ever worked with - one of them can do Analog, FPGA, Linux kernel all the same time. We created a system with 10G interface (15 years ago) deployed in Comcast and generated 40+ million revenue with < 10 employees.

After that, KP installed their own CEO with old analog modem background, fired the extremely experience VP of engr, hire/fire 3 CTOs and hire 160 people to "scale" the company and burn all the cash without deliver one single product in the next 6 years. The CEO also manager to get rid of all 3 founders.

Loss leaders are not universally legal, they are legal in some US states and illegal in others[1] - this may actually be a giant can of poo that's heading towards Amazon now that most states are agreed sales tax should apply to online purchases. Personally I find that loss leader pricing is unethical in a free economy, but my opinion isn't US law.

The chord you're not cutting already has a large delay from live. If you're in the US even larger because besides the delay from the technology there's also intentional broadcast delay for censorship reasons.
On the contrary; the fact that Google recommends them indicates the process is not flawed.

That is too say, their interviewing process explores things at sufficient depth and breadth to make knowing "the" solution not a deciding factor.

Yes, and it likely made sense if risc-v wasn't ready back when they started this project.
This is just my point of view, I don't claim this as an answer for anyone but myself. However, back when I was using Android and Windows Phone, I found that carrying an extra large phablet like the Galaxy Mega, Nexus 6, or Lumia 940XL gave me a very useful middle ground for the use cases you quoted from The Verge. The phones were big enough that at first glance (especially the Mega) they looked like small tablets, and were socially acceptable in work situations. Likewise, they were still phones so they fit in my (admittedly large) pocket even with a thin case.

I'm on iPhone now and I've "regressed" back to a relatively normal phone size with the iPhone 7. I almost got a Plus but I had an iPhone 6 before that and got comfortable with the smaller size. I'd probably be fine with the SE at this point, but since Apple has dropped that form factor I'm not going backwards.

So yes, I can see a place for a folding device when one needs to carry both a phone and a tablet, but for me at least, I can move to a phablet for that.
It was a thing all over Sydney throughout the 90s. We used to do it too (and I'm pretty sure I saw the guy your girlfriend is referring to, or another like him). We'd skate down at Bondi and throughout the city and if we saw the inspector chalking a street, we'd come down later and wipe them off. Same as topping up parking meters. If you found money on the ground you'd just stick it in the next expired parking meter you saw. No one liked having coins rattling around in your pocket while skating.
Managing cost is work, real work.
If the ACM is really pushing professionalism and ethics now, that's great.

I've actually been a member or contributed to all the organizations either of us mentioned, and EFF has seemed to me likely a better predictor, but that's just a guess.

Doesn't really make sense. Even less parking in our low density residential neighborhoods? No thanks.

My understanding is the issue is really about rezoning. Homeowners are willing to sell to each other so I assume they'll be willing to sell to a high density high-rise but no one wants to approve the new construction. We should figure out how to get it through city planning. As we increase density we can more efficiently manage public transit.

I started using info more after installing the Guix system. One thing that made me use emacs over info was that with evil-mode you could use vim bindings to read info pages through emacs. It was a bit more like 'less' then.
Huh, I would have said it's easy to. Would you mind expanding on that?
You're giving an example that validates my point. Existing technologies already have widely variable delays (radio vs broadcast TV vs cable TV vs sattelite TV) and yet they're all in wide use. And you can't compare directly the 30s I suggested (end-to-end latency) with the 3 seconds of latency differential between technologies. It's probably less than that but it's possible your neighbors are in a 30s delay and you are in a 33s delay.

And if the problem was actually that serious it would be easier to fix it by just adding additional delay to the faster technologies instead of having to reduce latency in internet streaming at huge cost.
