I would love to see the government treating people the same, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. You see it all the time, primarily how the justice system handles the rich and poor in the United States.

Personally, I'd like all reference to religion removed from politics and government. I know a lot of people would be up in arms, but religion has no place in government. Practice whatever you want but don't push your beliefs on me or others.

Is this even going to be noticeable at all out of benchmarks?

Nominally, my personal system has something that can do 2GB/s, but in normal operation, as programs and OSes do their thing, the software is incapable of making requests quickly enough to come even close to saturating the bandwidth. I'm not sure if you dropped a part in there that maxed out at 512MB/s that I could even notice.

Amdahl's law codifies the observation that as you get closer and closer to 0 time taken for a particular subtask, you'll rapidly stop gaining actual performance due to all the other subtasks that didn't speed up. It seems like 1GB/s is likely to be as close to infinite in practice as 2GB/s is.
Cost cutting is such a weird thing as it is often so superficially measured.

I worked at a company that slowly but surely cut travel options in order to limit travel costs.

Except for the sales group.... the group the traveled the most.

After a couple quarters they hilariously sent out an email noting that travel costs were not going down fast enough, insinuated that people weren't watching their expenses close enough, and if everyone didn't do a better job that they'd have to limit the sales travel budget too.

I suspect the person who sent the email couldn't / didn't think critically about what message they sent everyone else in the company. Needless to say the costs didn't drop.

Even more amusing they decided that car rentals were too expensive, so they banned car rentals (but not for sales). I was to take a taxi or public transit wherever I went. The results was that it cost about 3x as much in local travel costs when I traveled. I actually accounted for it all, wrote up a report with charts about how a car saves the company money on my trips. I was told not to tell the travel team anymore as their management didn't want to hear it.
Sounds like classic Tea Party Libertarianism then.
First, Google doesn't have a monopoly on 'Search'. Competitors provide entirely comparable products and are not that far off from what Google provides. Other industries? Maybe. Search? Not in the slightest.

Second, that is a terrible idea. It would be a fucking crisis if Google's entire index was made public. I don't think the author understands the scope and nature of what Google indexes, as well as the protections Google has implemented.
>>This is addressed in the article.

Right and I addressed it at the end of that comment. Saying its fine to donate money if you want. But people shouldn't be ashamed of donating canned food.

>>You should look into the annual reports of your local nonprofit;

This whole article was about efficiency and how much further your money goes if you donate cash. Putting any middle man in there with any budget for operation cuts away from the gains. And if they are getting donations from corporations, then fine, use that money for operations. My money won't be going to them. I'll donate to a church or whoever who is actually doing it from the goodness of their heart. (Note I keep referencing churches, but there are other non religious groups that do it for free not under a non profit corporation, specifically I know for a fact in LA at venice beach there is a group that helps homeless youth by feeding them and offering them a place to sleep, they even hand out condoms.)
Thanks, I was also wrong because there is no such thing as expert syndrome - it's called the Dunning-Kruger effect. This doesn't change my belief that all of foobar_'s coworkers hate him/her.
I disagree. If I can

- give $10 to the person on the corner who has a 20% chance to waste it on alcohol or drugs, or

- give it to a charity that I know does good work

then the second option seems better to me; and that 20% is part of the (reasonable) justification why.
I work at a dumpster fire of a company, but Donut Buddies still shines through with benefits to me. I don't even think others are aware of its true value. I often will make cross-functional inferences about company level things, or will bring up strategy from a different part of the company in discussions, and I have other engineers kind of just stare at me and say ".... how do you know that?"

Because you can't democratize management and organization like you can with donation of individual goods and small amounts of money.

You can donate $20 to a non-profit, but you can't donate "a few hours of CEO work" the same way, it just doesn't work. So it's more of an "all or nothing" kind of position.

Expecting someone to donate $20 of their salary or a few days of their time? That's not a big deal. Expecting someone to donate 100% of their salary or 100% of their "work time" for a year or more? That's a HUGE ask.

It's no surprise there aren't any takers.

If you could give an example to actually illustrate what you mean, maybe I'd agree too, but it's a little tough when you don't...
Do you believe that there are no resources needed for non profits? That donations made by person A magically get to person B who needs them? You are oblivious of the underlying business aspect that any nonprofit requires as they grow. Someone has the make running that business their job, and they do deserve to be paid for it. Non profits must disclose what they pay or compensate those people and its public information. You're more than capable of looking into any organization yourself before donating to them.
What matters is if the accepting of the money outweighs the good of turning it down. It's not always an easy equation.
So?

Those examples are not the really bad aspects of skeuomorphic -- which is about not taking advantage of the unique digital opportunities for UI controls, and instead e.g. copying a DVD hardware interface or some other physical mechanism verbatim.

At worst, they're tacky. You can do equally tacky things in non skeuomorphic UIs.

But even that is just taste. All kinds of imitation materials are still used all around UIs and design, and still considered beautiful (e.g. frosted glass -- there's actually no glass. UI lights with diffusion, there's no real material to diffuse their light. Etc.).
Maybe they should talk about those issues and not bring up market cap because market cap really has nothing to do with any of this
The second sentence of the post clarifies that this is motivated by a one-day boycott in solidarity with Spanish workers striking for improved labor conditions--not by the belief that "Amazon is evil and should be boycotted." Either you didn't care to read up to that point or you're being intentionally obtuse.
Often when people see others do a good thing, they argue that those people aren't doing all the good things. They think this incentivizes doing all the good things. They are wrong.
This seems to contradict other parts of the Wikipedia article saying the windows were the problem:

> Design and construction flaws, including improper riveting and dangerous concentrations of stress around some of the square windows, were ultimately identified. As a result, the Comet was extensively redesigned, with oval windows, structural reinforcements and other changes.

There's an ongoing debate on this on the article's talk page.
the article also highlights the Chinese government's interest in the phenomenon. the risk of this "drug" being used against the people is pretty realistic in China over places where the internet is free and open.
As someone who's done lots of Blender work as well as Maya and integrations with Unity and Unreal Engine, I still think there's quite a long way to go to make Blender a good option for game development. It's free, it kind of works but it's very painful when it comes to animation, texturing, and details.

Right now, this is what I usually do:

- Basic Modeling: Blender

- Sculpting + Details: ZBrush

- Painting: Substance Painter

- Animation: Maya

So yeah, the last 3 are paid and it's not cheap. Blender can do all three but not as good. I hope that with this additional money the Blender Foundation team can hire more people to close these gaps. In 2.8 they've improved on different fronts but they are still quite behind in those departments.

Last but not least, they should make more effort to improve their keybindings. They've been monkey patching it in 2.8 with the "industry-compatible" keybindings but when you use it a bunch of other things stop working.
Because if they can effectively organize people to efficiently distribute goods and do that on an on-going basis, that’s what enables the goods to get to those in need.

Not many people are going to be able to volunteer full-time. At some scale, someone has to work full-time to make the machine go.
Sure, but that's not what I've taken issue with.

Once again, my issue is that you appear to have falsely compared flight safety to car safety despite the fact that the two operate in very different ways.
1Lakh is highest no. of commits in a GitHub repo – LETS TEST THAT
Describe an example of this hypothetical really, really hard work to me, if you have the time.

I find that there's always someone willing to clamor that CEO's are with their weight in gold, but I find it excruciatingly difficult to find an elucidation of how what a CEO does is dependent on a particular person rather than to an arbitrary individual making a decision based off of high level information collected about the state of the company.

I'm really curious, because it bugs me that everywhere I go I never seem to be able to jive this view of CEO's as unique in their own right, with the fact that what they are doing is just enabled by carte blanche access to the internal state and business affairs of the company in question.

> I'm not sure if you dropped a part in there that maxed out at 512MB/s that I could even notice.

I've done exactly this. I tried to run an NVMe drive and a SATA drive back-to-back in the same laptop to see if I could notice any difference in my day to day workload. I couldn't, and because of that I bought a 2TB SATA SSD instead of 2TB NVMe. SATA usually still has better power consumption than most NVMe drives, and they're cheaper too.
Also, a true Data-Warehouse has it's data frozen on a set recurring schedule, say every hour or every 24 hours. This is so that users running related jobs at different times throughout the day see the same results and are working with the same data.
Sometimes, paying for things yields better outcomes and more economically efficient results than seeking those outcomes thru volunteerism alone.

Working class Chinese family in many cities now could also afford a two year master program(e.g Stony Brook U only cost me about RMB 300k for the entire Master with a decent CS program). My family is just normal working class with yearly income about 100k RMB. It’s not quite accurate to attribute all masters to “Rich” because ordinary income has been flying in China
They were probably reiterating what they were told to say. The Geniuses or other technical minded employees might make their own assumptions but they will always say the Apple scripted response.
One open secret of nonprofits is that donations of goods or time are usually much, much less efficient, desired, and effective than donations of money: http://seliger.com/2014/04/20/volunteers-nonprofits-really-w.... Nonprofits still need to cultivate volunteers, as volunteers tend to also be donors and volunteers want a tangible sense of community, but if you're really looking at cost-benefit, focus on money.

Amazon declared tomorrow "Prime Day" and a lot of workers are striking today and/or tomorrow.

I also came to America legally, and that was the second time I legally emigrated from one country to another. As an "experienced immigrant", I've lost count of how many times I've come upon the astonishingly selfish attitude your comment espouses.

Make no mistake, I'm also against completely open borders without deportation, for a variety of reasons. "Fuck you, got mine" is not one of those reasons.
This article is pretty ironic. Have a gander at Craigslist political forum.

It's been a complete cesspool for almost 20 years. In fact they made an effort to clean it up a few years ago. About 10 years back it was really bad.

Came here with very similar stories in mind. I knew multiple graduate students from Asian countries who would've loved to find work in the USA, but they were not given nearly enough time to search, nor were they comfortable with the uncertainty and current admin's hostility to foreigners. Around half of these students quickly found jobs back home after months of failed searching here.

We are doing real harm to our aging economy by not facilitating these bright young minds to stay here.
I wouldn't treat my name and address as private information.

I have no problem with the phone book, there was a time when everybody's name number and address was published in a book they regularly left on your doorstep, it didn't seem like a huge invasion of privacy.

I do have a problem with the postal rates for mass mail and telemarketing laws – the real source of the issues here.
Pagespeed (and my favorite: Gtmetrix), are very revealing. You would be surprised how many big, tech-savvy companies have abysmally performing websites.

It is also interesting to see the details of all the baggage that something like a single YouTube embed inflicts on your site performance. Sometimes it is over 50 individual server calls as well!

I honestly believe that Google has been downplaying how much this hurts your search rankings. The best first step for improving SEO (IMHO) is to make your page load fast. Usually, it is a fairly easy fix and your visitors will be rewarded as well.
> "Apples and oranges" is a metaphor for things that shouldn't be compared.

No it's a reference to comparisons that don't make sense.

You can compare as many apples you'd like with oranges, just as you can compare air travel with roadway traffic, but you'd be making absurd and meaningless comparisons.

Datapoint: I've had/have a really good experience with Blender. Countless opensource resources to fill any gaps in the export pipeline. Not to mention the relatively easy python api that gives you access to all the scene's data.
I’m bot saying it’s not an option but I imagine the result is not necessarily a better one. The right tools for the job don’t necessarily have to be free or open source. That’s just the best case scenario.
Probably a case of the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. Within the past 100 years we had internment camps for Japanese Americans so if I were an outsider from a country that we have a shaky relationship with, the thought of that or being accused of spying probably wouldn't be too far off in my mind.

In my experience, that's the best way to learn. I think a lot of people are scared off by intellectual challenges that seem insurmountable because they underestimate what persistence can do.

I think my most important lesson in uni was not to give up, even if you feel like the subject matter might as well be in a foreign language. I distinctly remember sitting and reading documents on cryptography for a larger project and it was all more or less unintelligible to me. When it was over I explained all of those concepts and more during my presentation, and even got the highest possible grade.

That was accomplished by simply repeatedly banging my head against all the theory while researching it and reading different explanations and trying to go at it from different angles.
tldr; graphene can be used for batteries.

Not to be an ass, but there's like no content on this page that has anything to do with graphene batteries overtaking lithium. It's an incredibly light article/interview providing no information as to why that might happen or how... Is there some sort of secret page I missed or link to the real content?

HN has some misleading article titles on it from time to time but the title of this is non-sense. It should be called "Graphene comes from Graphite" in which case no one would vote on it because it's obviously got no content.

I'm sure the Blender community will welcome this grant with open arms, as they should.

It's laughably not close. I wrote a full reply with figures, but it took up a ton of space. The short version is that neither of your models are accurate as to the actual costs in this city, and you've also just flat out ignored a ton of cost verticals.

Quick sanity check: there's zero medical costs. Zero clothing costs. Zero furniture costs. Zero moving expenses. Zero allowance for costs associated with sharing your place with 2 other people. Zero education or progression related investments. Zero capital expenditures on your computer (better hope it never fails, right?).

And that's just a taste. The model is SO wrong as to be laughable.
Other successful gaming companies/platforms should do the same.
Realizing that mathematical notional is inconsistent and contextual, and potentially confusing if inappropriately generalized, is a common frustrating learning experience, and it's nice to consider alternatives.

This is very reminiscent of the Bezos API memo at Amazon a while back...
Is there a lower-status job that pays as well as software development? I guess maybe some very experienced skilled tradespeople, but even those folks are probably pretty high-status when around others in their business.

Software dev is weird. Mostly sneered at or patronized by those up the hierarchy, yet paid really well. Not especially well-regarded outside business hierarchies considering how high the comp is, in no small part due to its acquisition, deserved or not, of a reputation for being a He-Man Woman Haters' club, and also, you know, for being generally nerdy (which was entirely the historical reason for its being low on the social status ladder, until relatively recently).
In a military context, they do propagate the key via their own, robust infrastructure. Over time, they've (USG) released keys and generally opened it up to the public, but they reserve the right to lock it down again.

As a result, while we have sub-5ft accuracy now, there's no guarantee that in war time, we won't lose that.

Has anyone met someone on a dating app without paying for an advanced account?
As I begin to re-enter the dating pool I decided to try some of the more popular dating apps out there...

It seems to me like when a free account is registered, most apps show activity cues to convince users to upgrade to a paid account for the first few weeks without actual human contact (i.e. I'll get a few likes, but no follow up messages) and then the activity drops off when the account is left as a basic (free) account. Fair enough for the app makers to want to make a profit off of registration, but if the free account is limited from getting actual contacts, I think it should be disclosed somehow.

So far, I have tested free accounts on Hinge, Bumble, and OK Cupid and they all exhibit the same kind of behavior to me; early "likes" and views, but no messages. I am wondering if the real way to meet people is by registering (paying for) an advanced account? Or perhaps the answer is that I am just not as handsome as my competition... :|

Has anyone (recently) met and communicated with a dating app match in person (from scratch) without paying for an advanced account on modern dating apps? If so, please be sure to mention the app's name.
