> $11 for the movie, or $12/mo for unlimited movies

I can't decide whether this would be more or less likely to convert (and also, whether it would be more or less profitable) than "$11 for the movie, or $10/mo for unlimited movies."

Obviously you'd think "more likely to convert" because it's cheaper, but maybe actually less likely because the fact that it's cheaper than a movie would give you pause, and make you think "Oh, it's a subscription," and then realise it's $120/year -- probably more than you spend on going to the movies.

Because for pretty much their entire history, anytime they tried to achieve anything, they were either conquered by an aggressive imperial power, stuck with a terrible repressive government, or both in rapid succession.
Sadly your snippy little comment doesn't make them any better. They cost more, don't go as far, take longer to refill, and do very little to help stop the world burning. If people need to head to the capital to protest or whatever, electric vehicles make that demonstrably more difficult. There is nothing about them that gives their owners more freedom than they have now. We are definitely in a golden age of freedom, and electric cars are just another method in which that will be chipped away.
I definitely feel like I have much more negotiating power than eng, as someone who used to be in an eng role and is now in security. There are more engineers and eng is a less niche skillset. There are very, very few people with my skillset. Hiring for my team takes months, minimum, with far far fewer candidates in our pipe.

I work at an SF company and routinely field offers from other companies that I can view on levels.fyi, and my colleagues in eng are open with me about their salaries so I have lots of datapoints to compare to.

To your other comment:

> I seriously question whether you understand how mediocre the mean security engineer actually is, even at top tier companies

This seems equally true for eng.
Calling me "mister" was never required (and makes me feel old). Working for start-ups (or start-ups within large companies as was the case with ARRIS gave me the opportunity to constantly teach people my job and then create a new one for myself. I don't have the personality to repeatedly do anything so this was pretty ideal. How are you doing (I haven't logged into LinkedIn for a while)? Still out hiking the beautiful NorthWest?
Did they try to ask for donation? Linux Journal has a huge reader base most of who probably grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. Most of these readers are now probably working professionals and earning well enough to donate a small amount to Linux Journal on a monthly or yearly basis to keep this journal running.
Well, the complete set of modern crashes is relatively small, and the set of crashes with unknown causes is very small, so the number of crashes tied to hacks is probably even smaller.

Xiaomi might have what you are looking for: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32966216308.html. It's zigbee, multi-year battery powered, costs $10-15, does temperature and humility. No soldering, programming or any other diy.

You can get a zigbee radio that can serve as a hub for a few bucks, but if you want the turnkey consumer experience, you also need Xiaomi's zigbee hub which runs around 50 bucks. With that you also get an iOS app that integrates with homekit. Xiaomi makes a lot of other zigbee products at a similar price range that work with it.

You're not going to find any acceptable wifi solutions in the battery powered sensor category (there are a lot of other reasons that make wifi non-ideal for this), so unfortunately a hub is probably in your future for any option.

EDIT: BTLE devices may also be an option, but IoT applications my tldr option is that BT is too complicated to be worth it unless you need something you can't get elsewhere.
Insufficient information to judge that to be the case; they rate millions of bonds and, statistically, they’ll almost certainly have every type of disagreement occasionally. The difference between AAA and junk isn’t 99 and 3 on a 100 point scale; it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 99.9 and 96.0 on the 100 point scale “Likelihood to not default within 1 year.”

You’d need vastly more data points to firmly believe the conclusion “Their ratings are indistinguishable from being randomly generated.”

As a lawyer who codes (though I don’t currently work as either a lawyer or a coder) I thought this article does a great job of explaining where coding fits into law. At least in my experience, coding is a “legal-adjacent” skill: coding is neither necessary nor sufficient for good lawyering. But there are deep conceptual similarities between coding and lawyering, and knowing how to do one job well can certainly make some parts of the other job easier.

For example: redrafting a contract is a lot like refactoring code. (Make sure that terms are only defined in one place; consider and account for edge cases; be aware of how changes in one area affect dependencies elsewhere, etc.).

If, like me, you’re allergic to repetitive, time-consuming tasks, coding is a way to potentially make your lawyering job go faster. I know lawyers who’ve used a combination of Python scripts and Zapier steps to fully automate client intake, for example.

HOWEVER! I’m pretty confident that coding will never become a core legal competency. Coding and lawyering are different roles, with different outputs, serving different stakeholders. Instead what’s more likely to happen is that coding will gradually eliminate a whole swath of tasks that we once assumed only lawyers could do — until we realized that those tasks were just algorithms in disguise, and therefore automate-able.

Like most other knowledge workers, lawyers are going to be responsible for managing — and applying wisdom and discernment — to the outputs that algorithms/software generates. And that’s a good thing! It’ll mean that lawyers are doing more of what they do best.
I imagine most of the cost in the OP isnt the physical writing of the documentation, but rather in the time gathering the documentation, interviewing the engineers and developers. Then on top of that, might need to employ separate engineers to review designs/code and verify that the information is correct and accurate. Effectively a design/implementation audit. If done truly independently, I can imagine this gets quite expensive very quickly.

I'm sure the number of lines of code involved in a 787 is probably well into the 10s of millions. Then you've also need help of Electrical/Computer engineers, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers and who knows what else. This isn't a simple matter of plopping a tech writer in front of a computer and "punch out the doc".

I dont imagine the systems are simple enough that you have a single engineer or developer looking at the relevant systems. I can easily see a team of well more than 50 being needed to produce such documentation, and conclude the cost of production for such documentation being $1M USD to probably being way on the low end, maybe even by an order of magnitude or more.
Isn’t the purpose of traction control to keep the tires in contact with the ground in a static coefficient of friction, and thus not slipping?
Everybody seems to gloss over single-threaded performance. AMD is trading cores for clock rate.

I just put together an EPYC (Naples) 3201 (8 cores, no SMT, 2133MHz DDR4) and my circa 2012 Xeon E3-1230v2 (4 cores/8 threads, 1333MHz DDR3) is still faster because of the higher clock rate. More interestingly, the EPYC peaks at 45W at the outlet but the Xeon only hits ~55W. The EPYC advertises a 30W TDP, but IIRC the Xeon advertised a 65W TDP for the chip, so Intel substantially over performs.

I don't regret building the 3201, and I'm looking forward to the next generation of EPYC embedded.[1] But Intel still has superior design skills when it comes to power consumption and clock rates. I'd expect Intel to keep pressing this advantage, especially because at this point it's all they've got left.

The two markets are not so similar. Air travel can only support a limited number of suppliers (in some locations this number is zero), since commercial airplanes are very expensive and require the use of valuable airport facilities. Housing isn't like that. Lots of investors can afford the note on a small apartment building. If one developer pads her profits, another one will undercut her.
UB was invented for the purpose of optimizing. No UB, no optimizing. And nobody is interested in funding or working on compilers that don't optimize.

> TSMC's 7nm process is stable, providing excellent yields and has plenty of available capacity

Yields in terms of getting lots of operational dies, sure, but one of the underlying problems here is chip quality. They have lots of chiplets but most of those chiplets are not fast enough to hit the clocks advertised for the 3900X.

In fact, even a lot of the chiplets sold as 3900X are not fast enough to hit the clocks advertised for 3900X, as well as elsewhere throughout their range. There are a lot of people finding their chips only boost to 50-200 MHz less than the advertised frequency of the chip.

Essentially, the boost algorithm now takes chip quality into account when determining how high it will boost. And most of the chips have silicon quality that is too poor to hit the advertised clocks, even on a single core, even under ideal cooling, etc etc.

Thus, AMD has the somewhat dubious honor of being the first company to make the silicon lottery apply not just to overclocking, but to their stock clocks as well. They really wasted no time before shifting to anti-consumer bullshit of their own; all they had to do was advertise the chips as being 200 MHz lower and everyone would have been happy, but they wanted to advertise clocks the chips couldn't hit.

And again, the underlying problem is chip quality - a lot of these chiplets can't boost to 4.3 or 4.4 GHz let alone 4.7. AMD simply can't yield enough 4.7 GHz chiplets to go around, even if the chiplets are nominally functional. The process may be "stable and providing excellent yields" but it's not stable and well yielding enough to meet AMD's expectations.

That's a major reason they're now introducing 3700 and 3900 non-X variations - that will allow them to reduce clocks and satisfy demand a bit better.
Its called momentum investing.
Don't do this. Do something useful with your time instead.
Yes, electric motors function without oil. They're mainly magnets and coils of wire and are mostly* friction-less. Boat engines are the same concept as your car. Air, fuel, spark, piston. In fact, the boat my family had when I was a kid had an inboard/outboard setup. The engine was a Chrysler V6. It was fascinating to me as a kid because when the cover was pulled off, the entire engine was exposed and very accessible compared to it being in a car. Instead of a transmission connected to a drive shaft, it was connected to some worm gears that turned the prop. The main difference is a car's leaking oil mainly falls onto the streets (and gets diluted before hitting the water sources) where the boat's goes directly into the water.
Presidential Candidates' Spotify Data
Based on his admiration of Metafilter’s moderation and how much has been written in Metatalk about how their moderation works I’d say he spends a lot of time responding to flags and emailed notes, watches new and some special lists/views, and maybe keeps open the few threads he intuits to be contentious (possibly with access to a linear view of comments being added to an article, and extra metadata appearing?)

Good, efficient moderation requires internal tooling and view development.

Hey Ken - thanks for stopping by!

I think the products that have step function level effects on society are the sum of many smaller trends.

We've found that these trends, however small or large, tend to highlight the bigger picture around how the consumer world is evolving.

Like you point out, axe throwing is not very interesting on its own. But when you take a closer look, axe throwing, escape rooms, etc. are rising to fill the need of real life social experiences that can't be easily replaced by companies like Netflix as the more digitally replicable social experiences like movie theaters decline in popularity.

Our customers - founders, investors, product people, marketers, etc. - tell us that this deeper understanding of how and why the world is changing is useful to them.

And separately, while there are indeed a small number of products that have a disproportionately large impact on society (like the ones you mentioned: car, bike, iPhone), our economy is also largely dependent on the inverse - a large number of products that individually have a small impact on society - many of these are products we use and consume day to day like toiletries.

The growth of products in these potentially less impactful categories can still sometimes highlight a meaningful shift in society and we at Glimpse think it's worth talking about.

Hope I answered your questions!

I've been writing for LJ since 1996. I just got up and saw this.

I'm very saddened by the news. And yet, LJ lived for two years beyond its original obituary.

It doesn't seem damning, electric cars are a not a silver bullet.
This seems like an additional problem to tackle concurrently.

The article does not do a really good job at explaining what the government it doing but basically it is:

1. Creating competition between states/cities (Beijing vs Shanghai) which has similar advantages to the free market EVEN if both groups are part of the government. This tries to reduce waste and puts natural pressure on companies (including ones that are state owned).

2. Encouraging close proximity (like silicon valley) by using grants, lower taxes, etc. This encourages lots of companies in the same industry to be close together and often in the same building. This encourages transfer of ideas and staff between companies. (economic development zones)

3. Limiting the number of economic development zones so that they are not all over the place.

To just ignore anything that Chinese companies have done and say it is all stolen or copied is rather biased.

Alipay and WeChat are probably the easiest example to look at. They both started very different (WeChat was just a copy of What's App, which is a copy of MSN messenger, which is a copy of AOL messengers, which is a copy of IRC which is a copy of netsend, which is a copy of telegrams, which is a copy of smake signals, etc... - everything is based on what came before it)

Slowly based on competition with each other they have stolen each other features and now do basically the same things. Forget about America (Facebook keeps copying features from WeChat).

Hope this helps to explain what the article does not explain.

> You either have a fantastic metabolism, are in high school and a multi-sport athlete, have a medical issue, or are miscalculating.

Or have significantly higher lean body mass than a Tour de France rider, since lean body mass is pretty much a multiplicative factor in energy consumption.

> Tangentially, there are oodles of Youtube videos about the diets of professional dancers... who practice 6+ hours a day... and none of them are even breaking 3k calories.

The thing about being a serious amateur dancer is you can be much bigger (both height and frame) than you could be and ever hope to go anywhere professionally in most styles of dance, which professionally tend to very rigorously filter for a very narrow range of body types (even, e.g., in ballroom, though classical ballet is the most notorious and perhaps the most extreme for this.)

You are right, I tried creating a 16x16 image with 3 colors and despite my best attempts, the GIF came out to 93 bytes and the PNG 139 bytes. So there are cases where the GIF will be smaller than the PNG.

On the other hand, if you are loading enough small PNGs for this to make a difference, perhaps any performance issues that come up might be helped by switching from PNG to GIF.
The shift for this is likely going to take some time. The design cycle for business machines is glacially slow.

Even the first generation Ryzen CPUs are amazing for multitasking and general computing workloads. Zen 2 is quite a bit further beyond that, and is priced highly competitively. That's something that can translate into increased productivity along with savings, but it's going to take some time before OEMs are really ready to take the plunge rather than just dipping their toes in.
It might not be financially possible, but if it were, I'm curious what the community reaction would be.

Essentially, as a fan of LJ, would you pay a $5 subscription to Medium to see Linux Journal continue there with maybe (I'm estimating w/o knowing traffic numbers) 15 new articles per month?

LJ's editor, Kyle, and I both lived north of San Francisco when he was writing for O'Reilly and I was working there. And that's what I pitched him: the basic Medium offer is very O'Reilly-like, at least compared to the general web. There's a simple trade-off. Publish behind a metered paywall (very un-GPL, but O'Reilly books are their own kind of paywall), and in exchange get money to invest in the quality of the articles.

I'm kind of iffy on the details beyond that. I helped start a programming publication on Medium recently and I don't know if the right thing to do would be to have LJ be separate or be inside that publication. But I do know that I see a lot of Linux publishing where the articles seem light. I think money to the author (or maybe it's money to an editor) would help that.

But obviously, there's the flip side which is that culturally there's a bias that information be free. :shrug: I just want information to be accurate! And given the number of Linux pubs, I think at least one of them has got to be in a situation where both the quality and the check book would be improved inside Medium.
