First, loans create deposits. It is a (short-term) loan for the purchaser but it creates a real deposit for the seller. In as much as you equate "value" with exchange medium (money/crypto) then credit cards create value out of thin air (the purchaser still has his deposit AND the seller gains a deposit, all the while their deposits enable the loans by the bank). The fact that we have more than one bank and real settling between banks doesn't reflect the minutia of actual transaction is irrelevant.

In terms of "who pays," well, I doubt people who currently don't pay will somehow decide to pay while free services remain available (even if at the cost of getting targeted ads/loss of privacy). If anything, right to be targeted is the real "value" that is being (and presumably will continue to be) exchanged.

Oh yeah, he's definitely biased, but if you filter the stuff, and I understand how you wouldn't want to, but if you filter it, there are descriptions of issues that you can't avoid with care. Some examples:

1. dGPU that's soldered poorly and whuch thus gets cracks in solder balls after repeated heat cycling because the cooling solution and fan curve is not tuned for performance.

2. Motherboards being poorly supported, which leads to them flexing a little every time the laptop is opened and clised, which leads to components becoming desoldered due to cracks in the solder.

3. On the newer macbooks he says that there are chips that just die randomly, as he's had specimens that were quite new and without a sign of bad handling on the inside and out and yet a chip has gone bad all of a sudden.
I think you just came here to tell OP that he's wrong for having different priorities than you do.

Most places that do alterations can do repair. But someone who is very good at repair is worth extra. Good repairs are strong. And they'll see weak areas needing repair before a hole starts, which might require patching.

Buy that cashmere sweater and repair it. I've got two over 20 years old, one pair of jeans over 5 years old I wear so often they got crotch holes in them, easily and authentically repaired.
Both Chrome and Firefox have support for sandboxing on Linux. For the security conscious, there's always the Xen/Linux Qubes distribution, which is considerably more secure than MacOS.

My father feels the same, he initially started using apple because he felt his Windows machine was using too much of his time for bs. Now he just upgraded to Catalina and Photos stopped working with this Synology based library, even I, a computer nerd, have already spend an hour at the problem. We are about done. I feel that Windows 10 would be just fine for him (or maybe I can get him sold on Ubuntu). Where pictures are simply in folders and any backup program will just sync them anywhere.

My in laws are very happy on Ubuntu Mate, it looks like old Windows (after changing one setting), and the Pictures and the email app are simple and clean. It's all they do.

You can get a Crostini supported device for around 400 Dollars. These are not MacBook class prices.

In California (I don't know Oregon) the law is that you can't enter an intersection under red. Unless you have countdown timers (or a good orthogonal view), you don't know when a light will turn red. The yellow, then, should be long enough for you to safely exit the intersection (under congestion laws you usually are not allowed to enter an intersection if there is not room for you to exit it) assuming the other direction turns green (very shortly) after red. An alternative safe solution would be to extend the time between red and opposing green (non-overlap) and keep yellows shorter.

Frankly, it's strange to me that even 0.12 sec was not enough, if the camera was only focused on the entry into the intersection. My guess is that it was shooting rear plates in the intersection, and catching turning cars (to maximize revenue)... Of course there are states where entering under a yellow is prohibited, but then we've legislated Pi to be 3 too.

Now, I have also seen Bostonians jump off the line before a light turned green and that would certainly have me stomping my brakes into a stale yellow, but I'm not sure it's safer.
"Maximizing your audience" != "strengthening your game"

Audience maximization is almost literally regression towards the mean to maximize profit.
It implies cutting corners ; but some of these corners are actually making your game stronger, they're giving it its personality.

Think of "Dwarf Fortress", "brogue", or even "Minecraft". What kind of feedback do you expect to get from most players? Better graphics? Real-time play? Would it make the game stronger?

I think it's best to 1) store the original messages outside your email system and 2) keep discussions to discourse or similar. That way, you have tools designed for the job and independent storage of discussions.

That's because of the subculture here. This is "hacker news" after all ;-)

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hacker has the "illegal entry to computers" angle in both #1 (besides "somebody who cuts down vegetation") and #4. Day-to-day use of hacker, e.g. in the news, also concentrates on that (like on https://edition.cnn.com/search?q=hacker).

There are subcultures that keep the original meaning of meritocracy alive, but like with "hacker" that train has left the station a long time ago.
Nuclear powered submarines can be as quiet. They aren't typically as quiet as they could be, because they have pumps to circulate coolant around the reactor spaces, and they typically have the prop being directly driven by a turbine (through a gear train).

Both of those have solutions: natural circulation, and turbo-electric drive. Natural circulation is seen on the Ohio class submarines[0], in which the heat gradient inside the reactor is enough to cause it to circulate without powering a pump to move it around. It only works well at low power, but if you're trying to make a good imitation of a hole in the water, that's enough. And it's not like the Gotland-class is any better at going fast.

Turbo-electric propulsion was seen on the USS Tullibee[1]. It definitely was an advantage, in terms of making the submarine quieter. But it had a disadvantage in being heavier than the machinery required for geared drive.

And the USN wants nuclear submarines. A Gotland had a pair of 75kW generators onboard for power/propulsion. A S9G reactor drives a 30MW pumpjet on a Virginia class. SSNs can go faster when necessary, and have more power available to run all their systems.

I would say it's absolutely based on China not being an open market, operating primarily by relationships and permission (which can be revoked at any time for any reason). If you want to do business in China at scale over multiple decades, you better cultivate extremely deep, enduring relationships with the highest tiers of power in their system. And you better constantly renew those ties as the power structures turn over across time.

Being on this board is the global business equivalent of reputation sharing, like giving China valuable IP in exchange for them letting you have market access. That's a list of highly respected global business titans, they're lending China and that University their reputation to warm ties and buy favor - absolutely.

Zuckerberg is the only one seriously on the outside in that list. He has seen effectively zero benefit so far to all his efforts on relationship building. Although they'll still take his reputation sharing (credibility enhancing; I know that seems absurd in the West right now, he's regarded as a respectable business titan in China). He has been wishing on a star for years now to get access to China. Amusingly, the Chinese authorities have (for their own purposes) thought better of it and know not to let FB in.

Professional sports don’t restrict entry for the same reason Idaho doesn’t have a military, someone else does that for them. SAG-AFTRA absolutely does restrict entry, you need $3,000 to pay the joining fee on top of having a year of qualifying membership in another union. The WGA does not appear to restrict entry but if they don’t have seniority based pay the structure of television writer’s rooms makes no sense. In normal industries you don’t see a bunch of twenty and thirty year olds, many fewer forty and fifty year olds and very, very few people in their sixties. That’s what writer’s rooms look like, a bunch of baby writers, slightly fewer journeymen, a great winnowing off people who are too expensive for what they’re worth to hire and show runners at the very top.

Yes I can, but that is hardly the quality and speed you are advocating versus what regular Linux laptops offer on that price range.

My Windows and Linux laptops are kept up to date since ever, with hardware encryption turned on.
Dunno. Practices in 1997 and 2002 didn't differ in very appreciable degree, just that piles of crap C++ became piles of crap Java. AJAX was made possible not by Google but by Microsoft's XHR and IE5. RSS never took of in any appreciable commercial way…

I would say the bust had no substantial impact on technology side of thing. Perhaps the pricing became bit more modest, and sure, lots of careers were "filtered out".
I graduated in 2002, took a "Beltway Bandit" consulting job testing Java code for a Treasury project in a basement in Hyattsville, MD, watched my older friends who graduated in 2000 into dotcom pay struggle to keep up payments on their Porsches, and counted my blessings for being able to pay my student loans and foolish new car purchase.

Two years later, I took a US Army contracting job in Germany, and through a couple of twists and turns, have been in the IT department of a large German auto parts manufacturer for eight years now... where we just got our 40 hour contracts cut to 35. My husband (engineer) and I live about the same lifestyle that our neighbors who are secretaries and mechanics do, so finances will not be a problem unless we're both unemployed for over a year.

My advice: don't take on unnecessary expenses that you would have a hard time backing out of (big car note) or that would tie you to a place (mortgage on something that would be hard to sell for what you owe), and think hard about what are needs (eating healthy food, recreation) and what are wants and conveniences (having prepared food brought to you, expensive activities and exotic travel). Go ahead and enjoy your wants a bit while times are good, but be ready to cut them out when the punchbowl gets taken away.

Unsafe situations do not yeild themselves into liberty. Instead, they are the exact situations when violent authoritarian groups arise. One way to push toward own dictatorship is to consciously push the country you are in into disorder and unsafety. (Famously, Nazi did exactly that.)

Meanwhile, free people seek themselves safety. Meanwhile, authoritarian groups tend to push for eager to fight risk taking masculinity.

It is not really trade off.
Yep, I started copying my images to the EU and Asia regions and now it's fine cost-wise. They don't have an Australia region for the container registry though, so launching VMs there is still pricy for me.
There is too much of it, and it's contradictory. Someone who is interested in SCN2A could scan the abstrats of the SfN conference in a few days to find everything they need.

People absolutely should have access to preliminary scientific literature, just not through the popular press maybe

So when did you first realize he was discussing Windows, reading this?

The "of course everyone is a straight white male" attitude that the OS need not be stated, so often seen in Windows posts, gave it away for me. However, my biases threw me for way too long: the level of sophistication meant this must be Linux, right? I should have recognized the graphics style in the screen grabs. Certainly not MacOS, but Linux can be all over the map stylistically. Does Windows really still look like that? Wow.

I think it's both. Some brands are marketing crappy disposable clothes (like H&M), other more conservative brands like Adidas for instance, are marketing some longer lasting clothing that one could use for more than one season. Actually the H&M Group has a more "exclusive" brand called COS which is about the same quality as Zara only more expensive - similar average quality synthetic materials but arguably better designs. The funny thing is that under a single company one could have it both ways. Look at Inditex, they're the best example. They include the Pull & Bear, Zara and Massimo Dutti brands under one umbrella company. While one markets disposables, the other markets upscale clothing that can last several seasons and there's also the in-between brand that markets clothes that last aproximately for one season. I guess there are buyers for all of these, depending on age/gender/income demographic.

Expander cycle engines are limited because you need heat to run the turbo pump. And the heat is provided by running propellant around engine to cool it off. The advantages Tim Dodd mentions for larger engines (propellant flow increases faster than surface area of the engine), are exactly the things that make expander cycle engines hit their limit: not enough area to heat up the propellant to run the pumps enough for the amount of propellant you need for the thrust you want.

Aerospikes have more surface area, which means more area to cool... which is more area for the propellant to flow through to get heated up to run the engine, which means more power available to give more fuel.
