I was once on a team where our manager at the time was in another country, three time zones away from us. He was a great manager, but we were basically on our own. Our meetings ran long, got nothing done, and were frequent. Our sprint velocity was bad and always declining.

We got a new manager, local and from an external company (which is often difficult) He did... very little, it seemed. But I noticed half our meetings were cancelled and we didn't need them. Our existing meetings, we got more done. Our sprints were better and better. We just accomplished more per hour than we did before to an enormous extent.

Good management is invisible and feels like the team is rocking, not the manager.

> The "short term rental" category gets to bypass all these regulations and that is the exclusive source of their margins

I agree in part and disagree in part. I do think that regulatory arbitrage is part of what makes Airbnb, Uber, et al valuable. I don't think it's the exclusive source of their margins. They generate a lot of value through creating a liquid 2-sided market.

How can the two statements, "Shared exclusively with" and "has been peer reviewed" both be true? Just saying something has been reviewed doesnt mean anything, there's no citation or even the name of the Paper or journal it was published in.
This can be true, because Armenian language has large admixture of Urartian and Hurrian words, and most of the words shared with Euskara seem to be from this non-IndoEuropean part of the language.

Induced demand is not an infinitely scalable effect. There is some point at which adding more lanes will in fact reduce traffic congestion (ignoring logistical issues with extremely wide roads, which isn't the point of the induced demand argument).

With housing, the induced demand is mediated by housing prices. More housing lowers prices, which attracts more demand, which raises prices. But it's not going to raise prices above where they would have been had no new housing been built. (If prices were higher in the more housing scenario, what's stopping the person who moved to the city at those higher prices from moving in the less housing scenario?)
> provide no direct evidence relating to the claimed atrocities commited by the government. I tried very hard to find actual direct evidence and to justify their claims ... but discovered none

I'm genuinely curious about this. There are witness accounts of forced organ harvesting, and it's not too long ago that the government announced that it stopped the practice[1], implying that it was happening at least up until that point, and the rumors were correct.

There's no way for external parties to verify that forced organ harvesting has ended as promised. When a government does not invite external observers to verify such an important matter, shouldn't anyone's gut feeling go on red alert? Has there ever been a case when a lack of gov't transparency wasn't a bad sign? Is it cultural bias on my end to assume the worst-case scenario?

> The last time it happened was 20 years ago with the AMD K7.

K8, too. AMD's IPC was so far ahead of Intel's at that time it was crazy. 2.2GHZ Athlon 64's were keeping up with or beating the 3-3.2ghz P4's.

It was so strong & competitive Intel resorted to straight up bribery to compete, resulting in many anti-trust judgements against it as a result. But they succeeded in preventing K8 from hurting their market share, and kept AMD down despite a vastly superior product. Here's hoping that doesn't happen again this time around, but maybe Intel will decide the wrist slap is worth it.
What's interesting is that in a buyers mind (or a users mind) there is often something that outweighs many practical concerns which a committee would say 'a deal braker'.

One example of this is the very first Porsche 911 that I bought years ago. I had never tried to sit in the rear seats I just saw it had rear seats 'ok it can seat 4 people'. Of course the reason I bought the 911 had zero to do with practicality or what you would consider 'features'. It was entirely emotional that was the reason. So I had ordered the car and went to the dealer to pick it up. And then found that only small children could fit in those seats (or at least without great distress). But I still took the car and have since bought 3 newer models. The rear seats come in handy to throw stuff behind you packages and what not. And in a pinch sure someone can sit there (on Cayman/Boxster no go).

It's doing something very weird in Safari with my MacBook trackpad. Inertial scrolling as expected, but it feels as though everything is happening on a delay.

I'm not inherently opposed to scroll hijacking if it's for a very specific purpose and is implemented in a non-annoying way. Neither seems to apply to this site.
Oh, the i3's are fine for a general small business workload - compared to the socket-compatible Xeon's all they're really lacking is extra PCIe lanes if you need them. That's ultimately what Intel uses to segregate the Xeon and HEDT chips from their mainstream platform, after all.

The Celeron and Pentium chips that have infiltrated entry-level servers are absolute trash though.

One of my favorite sayings is, "trust in Allah, but tie up your camel." The author seems legit, and the article is well written, but unless we can check the work and see the numbers its much better to assume moon-cheese then to just blindly trust whatever you're being told.

I'm guessing you missed the comments regarding performance per watt?
Yup, this is what major appliances have come to: Scheduled repair expectancy of 2-3 years or several hundred to replace.

My dishwasher started leaking one night - luckily I was nearby when it began. Upon researching I learned that it was caused by a failed grommet that's installed with its garter spring facing towards the water-filled tub, which causes premature failure after 2-3 years. Of course Whirlpool stopped selling the grommet as a replacement part, instead requiring people buy an entire $150 sump assembly.

So I bought a few $5 grommets off a grommets-r-us site and have scheduled a triennial dishwasher disassembly song and dance. Threw a simple leak detector under the washer just in case. At least now I'm pretty knowledgable of the secret life of the dishwasher.

Perhaps. Although I’m sure a blind person would say they’d like to be able to see, I bet they’d also tell you there’s much more beauty to the world than what can be seen.
I believe the fear and anti-China sentiments stemmed from the the past history of the regime in China. It's okay to bear the "outsider" concept that as long as you are not doing something wrong then the gov won't do anything to you. However, please do keep in mind that if you are not voicing out for the others that are suppressed, then no one would voice out for you when you are the target of suppression. Assuming you had some sort of higher education, it's hard to gauge when will your interest conflicts with the central government's. The fact that people around the world are resisting and pressuring such regime is because the fear that it would spread its influence globally. I personally don't think the issue relates to the people itself, but I would not trust the central government at all.

Web components APIs are low level. They allow code to know where to do things (the element instance, the shadow root) and when to do them (constructor, the lifecycle callbacks).

They are not a direct analog to modern frameworks, and it's completely expected that developers will use helper libraries to get better DX like declarative and reactive components.

I work on two such libraries: lit-html and LitELement. Combined they give you just as much declarative and reactive power as frameworks, much better DOM and style isolation, better performance, and smaller size than just about anything else out there.

Compare a styled Hello World example to React or any other framework:

import {LitElement, html, css, property, customElement} from 'lit-element';

@customElement('hello-world')
class HelloElement extends LitElement {

static styles = css`
:host {
display: block;
}
p {
background: pink;
}
`;

@property() name;

render() {
return html`<p>Hello ${this.name}!</p>`;
}
}

(this example uses decorators because I think it's clearer, but we support plain JS as well)

Do you mean the MIPS line vs the x86 line of processors, or the R4000 vs Pentium specifically? I don't think the R4000 was "killed" by any competitor, especially the R4400 and VR4300 versions were really successful powering many SGI machines and the Nintendo 64.

Your statement is a good illustration of the kind of inertia one faces when attempting to argue against the status quo. One person's pessimism is another person's realism. I personally see the amount of humans on this planet as absurd, and don't see humankind's seemingly-innate "might is right", "manifest destiny" way of doing things thus far as something we should continue to mindlessly perpetuate.

It depends on yield. If it's very high, you save money using only 6 chiplets. If it's not as great then using 8 lets you downbin the 64 core parts that were defective into the 48 core slot.

You can't do both in the same SKU because they have different performance, e.g. different amounts of L3 cache & memory bandwidth.

All "bearings" in the machine were plastic sleeves.

The drum is moved by a belt so thin I thought it was a piece of string to tie it in place.

The tensioner on said belt was literally nothing more than a bent coat hanger with a little plastic pulley. This part of the design was important because the "emergency stop" in the even of the belt breaking was that the coat hanger would go flying off into the machine and stop pressing against a little micro-switch glued to the side of the motor mount.
That definitely happens. My prior car was ECU modded by the prior owner to eliminate EGR which was a maintenance hog on the turbo diesels. Many aftermarket ECU flash programs can be undone if diagnostics are required.
You mean AMD beating Intel, therefore being less effective space heaters than Intel's own? Yeah, I saw those.

Tell me more? Benatar lectured me at uni. Great teacher.
Forcing a company to have a diagnostic tool or team to identify a problem you might not have them fix is silly IMO. So is forcing their hand on creating a repairable product.

That's not as self-evident as you imply. We force manufacturers' hands in so many other ways. We force automobile manufacturers to abide by crash safety and emissions regulations. Electronics manufacturers have to abide by lead-free solder rules and FCC regulations to ensure that their products don't cause harmful interference. I don't think that forcing repairability is as much of a stretch as you think.

At the very least, we should ban EULA provisions that restrict the user from reverse-engineering the product.

I think the world is beautiful. I love nature and everything in it. What I don't think is beautiful is the destruction of this world by overpopulation and selfishness.

Edit:
>Overpopulation is a meme. Many first-world countries today are literally seeking to import more immigrants because of under-population.

Their being a need for more humans to meet human ends is not surprising, but it certainly doesn't make an argument for the necessity of more humans from any ecological perspective.

> Besides, humans are natural too. It's not like we're built in factories and have smokestacks on our heads. We ARE part of that world which you think is beautiful, and to end human reproduction would be to partly destroy this world.

This logic doesn't compute for me. Is your perspective that, by definition, anything humans do is natural? If so, I think we have a fundamental disagreement on the definition of "natural". I don't think that packing the Earth to the gills with humans at the expense of other species survival is in any way a positive development.
I don't understand. At that rate your chance of having a second bit flip before the first is fixed is almost zero, and the chance of hitting two separate bit flips in the same row is ridiculously small.

If you're worried about a single event causing two flips in a single row... I suppose that's possible, but it could also cause three bit flips. So a Xeon has a non-zero error rate. Is Ryzen meaningfully worse?
And you're probably the workspace admin. I shouldn't need someone else's permission to export my own data either.
(I hope i'm reading your hypothetical right) in a world where I don't have to venture out to go to work, and don't have to live in a set place to chase an industry, I'd put more value on being in a nice climate, close to fun things to do, and near other people that have 'interesting' established communities (walkable culture, food, know your neighbors, all the standard millennial trend stuff).

I'm assuming a situation where I have more leisure time and less income scarcity here.

There are some people who take the "given no constraints I'd move to flyover country" but even then many of them are doing that because it's cheap, not because it's the absolute most desirable right?

Strictly speaking you _could_ just plop a new city down from scratch in Nebraska, but why would i live there when i could live somewhere where I go to the beach or the mountains every weekend, and walk to a hopping established strip of restaurants and coffee shops in 10 minutes?

TypeScript does not take out dynamic typing or prototypical object orientation. If you can more cleanly communicate something dynamically, do it. `any` is right there. (And I do this sometimes! Of course, code where I do this is invariably where most of my unit testing has to be, but I have the choice, and I'm making it.)

And, not to be pointy, but I always get a real weird vibe about people who come rolling in professing that TypeScript isn't a backhoe when it professes to be a shovel. TypeScript is not about a "world class type system" and that's never been the claim. It's about reducing the ways in which normal developers can shoot themselves in the foot. If ReasonML or whatever equally bloggable thing scratches your itch, sure, but you're never getting the 95th percentile of developers, to say nothing of the 50th, to write it--and that 50th, and that 95th, percentile can benefit from better tools, too.
I don't discover new ones, unless I'm invited to one or I create one. All the people I know who I used to communicate with and share content on Facebook are on WhatsApp. If I'm interested in wider discussions with people I don't "know" in the traditional sense, there's forums, etc. Nothing I got from the Facebook experience I can't get anywhere else, I'm finding. Maybe I was using Facebook wrong, but I didn't add anyone on there as a friend that I didn't know offline.
Induced Demand (ie "bigger highways leads to more traffic") depends on having an alternative. IE, traffic can take a different route, people can take public transit, people can stay home, etc.
