In some games the 9700K seems to have better performance, but in pure CPU benchmarks the 3700X is generally faster.

See these results: https://www.techquila.co.in/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-vs-intel-core-...

In Cinebench the Ryzen has the advantage in both single and multi core.

See this other results for real time audio performance where the Ryzen is 10-15% better in all results: https://www.scanproaudio.info/2019/07/12/amd-ryzen-3600-3700...

Also, in your second link the price-performance-ratio of the 3700X is 27% better...
This was a large criticism I had of Force Touch ("3D Touch"), and why I was not at all surprised when it "died."

Force Touch may have been an impressive technological showpiece, but at its core it had no discoverability and you couldn't really even describe how to use it, new users just had to experiment.

This resulted in apps being unable to use it for important functionality, because it would never be found. Which ultimately resulted in most UI designs ignoring it entirely and leading to its own irrelevance.

A mouse's right click has the same issue, and many users never "discover" that either. I've met people who only know how to use the clipboard in Microsoft Office applications because it has a UI for it (via the Clipboard section in the ribbon). They simply don't right click, ever.
Uh, what do you mean? Leaving them off and letting the reader guess the intended word works pretty well in practice and is what many organisations in Sweden resorted to when getting a domain name (ex: riksgälden, åhlens, företagarna).
"Now is the best time to buy"
> ethical, open, trusted, free, shared

Yes, but these concepts were not nearly as overloaded as now. I wasn't around for the 60s or 70s, but I know the days where the only browser was Mosaic (early-to-mid 90s). Even at that time, nobody used the term "ethical" or "open" the way that we use it now. It would be a mistake (and hindsight bias) to look back and draw strong parallels.
C is not close to the hardware: vectors are a bolted on afterthought, especially multidimensional arrays. The carry flag and floating point environment are afterthoughts. One of my coworkers uses assembly for just this reason!

Lots of people who use ad blockers aren't opposed to ads themselves. If a site shoves an "Eat at Joe's" div in beside the content, that's fine, we'll look at it, because after all ad blockers won't block such an ad. What we oppose are ad networks with all the tracking and privacy violations those entail, and those are blocked by ad blockers.
I’ve seen the same thing in people this age. It’s really tragic how social media is shredding the self esteem of kids of this generation, especially girls.

I’m really glad I grew up before this happened.
There's a good argument against a high minimum wage, and it all boils down to spending power. I'm not an economist, so I'm sure I'll butcher the explanation, but I once read an articulate version of it that struck a chord. It's something like this: The minimum wage is what determines spending power for the middle class. Let's say the minimum wage is $10/hr - that means a "middle class" worker that makes say $1k/week has the spending power of 100 "minimum wage hours". Now let's say that is doubled to $20/hr. The spending power of the middle class person is halved. The person that was making 2x minimum wage is now making minimum wage. At first, the folks on the bottom of the rung will certainly feel the benefits of their new influx of cash, but it's inevitable that costs of goods and services will increase after the initial adjustment period and due to inflation. The end result is that the entire middle class becomes poorer. The "1%ers" feel no impact. Now, I don't know how real this phenomenon is, but increasing the minimum wage is certainly not a redistribution of wealth from the mega wealthy to the poor and the middle class, so does it really solve the problem? I don't know.

How about the internet being used as a mass surveillance machine and the obliteration of producers in favor of consumers? That facet isn’t a drop in the bucket of internet usage. M

I think focusing what it could be used for and what it has been used for isn’t the right way to approach thinking about it. The internet is by and large used for consuming content from a handful of corporations (disclaimer: I have no source to back up this claim), and a lot of negative consequences follow from that.
No it meant management didn't have a clue. Just a few of my tasks took hours. Compliance duties where compliance officers picked away at options while I had to sit there. Escort vendors into the server room often for an entire shift if not longer. Preventive maintenance on equipment that could take a month. Those three tasks plus a couple of dozen other duties. Add to that other departments asking for help.

This place was notorious for reducing employee benefits to nothing. Employee reviews but the employee is at max pay rate so no bonus but still reviewed. No holiday parties. Overtime change from over 8 hours to only over 40. And on and on.

It was just a terribly run organization and I'm glad I'm out of it. There was a big exodus of long term staff in a short period of time just after I was laid off.

It's very natural for people to take good things for granted and focus on the negatives. Regardless of objective measurements.

Same old moral panic, different technology. Still, different technology means potentially different effects. That still doesn't mean it's any less of the same old moral panic. Fortunately, as it always seems in these cases, people are looking into it - for better or worse. Perhaps it's indivisible.

> The very first episode of the original Battlestar Galactica had the character Starbucks using the “turbos” in his spacecraft. Those unaware might not know that turbines compress air, which outer space is sorely lacking.

It’s pedantic, but rockets do have “turbos” actually. They use turbo-pumps to feed fuel and lox from the tanks into the combustion chamber.
I never really thought about that before but you're absolutely right. I've literally had to video call someone and had them point their phone at the iPad just to provide basic technical support. Why can't we remote into an iPad?
I don't know—this could be seen as more consistent. It's almost like a type system on identifiers. This way you avoid accidentally joining users.id to user_preferences.id because you'll always join with the user_id "type" from users.user_id to user_preferences.user_id. SQL even has a syntax for that: JOIN user_preferences USING (user_id).

> "Natural monopolies are another instance where the government should probably step in to avoid a small group of people curtailing the freedoms of large groups."

Sure, but those are all examples of regulation in order to guarantee rights and freedoms. And there are absolutely cases where the free market simply doesn't work or works very inefficiently, like public transport or health care.

But in cases where the free market works fine, with a little bit of regulation or even without any, I think that's preferable to replacing every market with a plan economy.
My favorite (free) co-working space
Agreed, I think there was a point, when we could still benefit from the pre-existing social trust network, that it was a net positive. Now that the pre-internet trust network has deteriorated, and with no trust mechanism built into the internet, it is rapidly devolving toward a net negative for social stability.

Both the first iPad and the third iPad (the first retina one) were pretty bad. The third iPad, thanks to its retina screen and its anemic GPU to drive its high resolution screen was outdated pretty fast (iPad 4 was released only 7 months later).

Far and away my most common experiences with business ideas others try to give me:

"Oh man you should make an app/website to do X! God it'd make my life/job so much easier."

"Cool, yeah, great idea"

Then I unlock my phone, check the app store, and yep, there are already 25 complete solutions to this exact problem on just this one platform. Oh but they would totally pay for it and it'll definitely make me rich, never mind they haven't even bothered to google for a solution, which already exists in exactly the same form I'd make it, and is free or cheap. Ok. Toss that one in the ol' round-file.

The CI is something that keeps me from contributing. I don’t say it doesn’t do it’s job and I don’t say it’s not useful. What I mean is the CI is often set up to enforce rules that aren’t clear when you create the pull request.

I’ve a pull request to Ansible that’s open for ~ 2 years now and I keep on doing commits just to satisfy the CI without getting any actual feedback from the Ansible maintainers whether or not my pull request will be accepted.

And just yesterday I opened a pull request on the Azure cli and the CI pipeline forbids pull requests to master without telling first time contributors the accepted workflow.

My contribution is just a small typo fix in a help text, but adding a sentence of how to create a good pull request in the issue template would actually go a long way.

> Those children were more likely to become depressed by age 12 or 13, to be the victims of bullying, to be aggressive, to have lower interpersonal skills, to have unhealthy diets, and to be overweight, the researchers found in the April study.

> The findings suggest that very young children are missing out on key aspects of their brain development when they spend so much time staring at a screen instead of interacting with the outside world.

Or alternatively, they suggest that victims of bullying, less socially successful, and less physically fit children are more inclined to spend time using a screen.

So often studies like this find a correlation, then jump to the causation they had set out to find, ignoring all other plausible relationships suggested by the data.
This strongly correlates with the fact that older (40-50+) founders tend to have more successful startups. It might be because a) they intimately understand the problem that needs to be solved and b) they have the network to sell to others with the same problem.
This logic falls into a cul de sac when you realize that many open problems can only be solved by new technology.
Pascal used var parameters rather than pointers into the stack and supported nested subroutines with lexical scope, limiting them to being passed as downward funargs to ensure safety, and it barely missed requiring tag checks on variant record access (an omission Wirth bitterly lamented). Pascal had pointers, but they were strictly for heap-allocated objects, not var parameters or array iteration. In standard Pascal, array size was part of the array type, so you couldn't write functions that operated on arrays of unknown size, because bounds checking of array accesses would have otherwise required passing an additional length word.
That's why the string type in TeX is an index into a humongous string pool array.

I think this illustrates how the philosophy of Pascal differed from that of C.

Because even if you have to work longer and have the other burdens, the job is nicer than being the guy who has to wash dishes or make fries. Not everything is about getting more money.

VRBO was loooong before AirBnB. AirBnB reduced friction by handing the payments and provided social mechanisms for buyers and sellers to vet each other, among other things. In the days before AirBnB I remember booking an apartment in Paris by sending half the payment by wire transfer and the other half in cash on arrival. The apartment was great and the host even better, but the payment was painful, and something very few of my friends and family would have done. AirBnB made it as easy as booking a hotel, and that made a huge difference.
He doesn't mention the Worm of 1988[1]. The only reason it spread was because sendmail(1) would allow any remote sender to spawn a shell on your system. This was by design, and left in place because these researchers were naive and utopian. Then Robert Morris Jr came along and abused it. To me, that was the inflection point of the nascent Internet: the naivete of these researchers met the harsh reality of real human behavior and lost.

> The employees might lose a crappy near-subsistence job, but both the employees and owners can then concentrate their efforts into something better...

Before the hike, both the employee and owners could do that... yet they didn't. Is the existence of a lower paid job make it harder to create something better? That seems really backward, because there will always be lower paying job.

Where does Europe has an higher minimum wage than $15 USD? That's excluding tipping which can bring that wage MUCH higher.

You can't really compare viability when the wage is actually lower....
Public Cloud Services Comparison (March, 2019)
I compared iPad 1 because I had it. The story of iPad 2 is not much different. When the 4 came out it was faster, had more RAM, much better screen, etc. Every product reaches a stage where improvements stop being so obvious year over year and the upgrade seems less and less justified. What used to be a 2-3 year upgrade cycle can now easily be a 5+ year one.

Narcissists 'Horrible People but Happy'
This is another good example for a broader issue we're noticing lately: we've been creating enabling technology and liberal laws, supporting migration, tolerating religions as well as various modern ideologies and (late) in the process we suddenly realized that our central assumption, that all people are sufficiently smart, educated, willing to participate in our society as positive forces, was completely wrong. So we're now beginning to shut down liberal policies, least harmful ones first - but it's a) wrong and b) too late anyway. We need closed, selective communities rather than inclusive, totalitarian ones - online and "offline".

For comparison, here's a 2004 paper on how teens spent their time from 1981-2003:

(Short version: about 5 hours a day on tv, games, and computers.)

And, let us not forget when, in 1959, Scientific American denounced the vile scourge of chess:
"A pernicious excitement to learn and play chess has spread all over the country, and numerous clubs for practicing this game have been formed in cities and villages...chess is a mere amusement of a very inferior character, which robs the mind of valuable time that might be devoted to nobler acquirements, while it affords no benefit whatever to the body."

I doubt medieval crafters were thrilled about spending 10-14 hours a day in their workshops either.

Over forty years ago I had a transistor AM radio that fit in a shirt pocket. I would use it to listen to WXL in Chicago from my Indianapolis area home some 200 miles away. Despite holding an amateur radio license, I have no idea about the antenna design in that radio. I do know that it worked.

So I don’t know if it’s a matter of antennas, or a matter of “who listens to AM anymore?”

> The whole point of central banking is to inflate the currency to provide money for the government to spend without needing to raise taxes.

Bullshit.

The whole point of central banking is to provide price stability (which is predictable, stable, low ~2% inflation), that is to manage the money supply to follow the growth (or shrinking) of the economy.

If all that AirBnB did was break the law, then why did cities have to pass anti-AirBnB laws? Why couldn't they enforce the existing ones? I'm not saying that there was no breakage of any law, I'm saying that your comment implies that AirBnB's only advantage was breaking the law, and that's wrong.

The main part of AirBnB's success is that it fixes/fixed an imperfection in the market: In the places with demand, AirBnB took the low priced housing and made it available for short term lets. Yes, long term renters were the beneficiaries of the old model as it gave them a larger and thus cheaper supply of housing, but the real price is the post-AirBnB price. The old model had externalities too, they were just paid by different people like landlords and people who seek short term stays.

From a social point of view, for the long term renters, AirBnB does have an impact but the ways to combat it are similar to other phenomena that drive up rents: simply build more cheap housing. In many places in the world, there is a massive immigration wave of people from the countryside into the cities. China has recognized the problem and built housing. In the west, people are more skeptical and rather prefer the value of their homes to increase instead of people getting cheap rents. In the period after WW2, it was much different, at least in europe. Back then, we built lots of houses, for everyone, poor included.
>It would also mean drivers would be based more locally to points of loading, rather than having to be constantly on the road away from home.

Which would probably make it much easier to hire drivers, too. Lately, long-haul trucking has had a hard time recruiting people into the profession, because the pay isn't that great and the lifestyle completely destroys any relationship you have. Local trucking doesn't have this problem: a driver can drive for the day and be home for dinner.
