I suspect it's all about who benefits. In the food industry, we've seen the effects, the industry is consolidating and forcing smaller players out.

In the case of generic prescription drugs, those are still very large players. There seems to be a cartel for all but the most common drugs, where manufacturers don't bother competing for market share.
I feel like bollards have an amazing effectiveness to intrusiveness ratio. They stop people from using vehicles to attack lots of people, but they don't really interfere with day to day living, or violate any privacy.
The author pointed out that they published benchmarks using the same test that had not been optimized for AMD yet. But they included that information in the publication, including on the graphs that would otherwise appear to show the outright superiority of Intel in that regard.

If the publication was delayed to allow time for due diligence then this disclosure should have made the cut. I like to think that Intel had some top-notch benchmarking nerds who were superseded by unscrupulous executives and would not have published a dishonest benchmark otherwise.
A quick reminder to everyone that buying all time lows on a stock is one of the worst equity strategies possible (statistically). Go ahead and run a backtest.

On the flip side, buying stocks at all time highs, while counter intuitive, is one of the best equity strategies available (with trailing stops).

Buying Uber stock here is borderline moronic until the trend turns around.
In my experience at work and especially from observing managers it seems like people are afraid to offer this type of advice. They are concerned how people will interpret this type of feedback IMO. I think this is true for any type of criticism. I have only received meaningful feedback from managers a few times despite needing it a lot more and it led to me developing more slowly as an engineer.

Yes. A lot of discussion here seems to be very academic vs how things play out.
Yes, this is essentially my point, except stated in a much more concise way than I was able to. The author wants something we all want – less power for massive private companies to control our society. But he doesn't want to accept what that takes – greater government control. So his essay is little more than inane rhetoric, e.g. journalists are basically silenced if they can't be on Twitter.

WeWork, for the most part, does not own actual real-estate assets. They mostly have actual real-estate liabilities - leases.

They do own a relatively small amount of property, like their partial ownership of the Lord and Taylor building, which for reference is now considered a huge mistake (it's bleeding money).
Ostensibly that's the argument. But the real argument is that platforms are wising up to being used for extremist positions and that the extremists don't like it and so they twist everything to associated themselves with content that should get a pass.
Ask Boeing about that.
Perhaps a bit tangential to OP's question, but in a similar thread on HN in the past someone had posted that you will probably be more successful if you try to fit in your hobbies/ side projects (tech or not tech related) before you start your workday as you will be less tired and more fresh.

I sort of agree with this as when I come back from work I often find myself lacking the willpower to do anything more than skim HN, reddit or watch something on youtube and then sleep.

I've found myself to be more productive if I get some time in the morning before I go to work.
Haha true enough. I'm sure the truth in this case in somewhere in the middle. Reading any marketing material should always be done with a healthy dose of skepticism.

You couldn't be more right. The zeitgeist in 2015 was full-steam ahead on the autonomous future and woe to anything that stood in its way.

The framing of Arizona's embrace of autonomous testing four years ago [0,1] contrasted with California's caution [2,3,4] couldn't have been starker. One was branded enabling innovation, the other was seen as bureaucratic red tape holding up progress.

It's too easy to get wrapped up in these narratives.

Uber is the ubiquitous word for modern transport between 1 to 40kms in the western world. Ubering is a verb.

Thats a whole lot of mindshare and Uber is a whole lot better than a taxi. Future demand for taxis will go up. Uber is the verb for the software layer in the middle of getting from a to b.

Nobody can innovate enough in the space to displace Uber’s brand lead. Running a server is cheaper than paying a dispatcher.

Like Coca cola there is an uber on every street corner of the western world and customers love uber. Uber doesn’t need to buy syrup or warehousing.

Sounds like an opportunity to buy a profitable brand that successfully invested in becoming a verb.

I wonder what would be the minimum support cost if you kept the brand going and outsourced the server tech support. And what would be the minimum number of developers required to update the app for drones and air taxis.

I reckon
100 x 250k development
2000 x 100k server support
10 x 200k design
1000 x 100k driver/customer liasion
Servers don’t know say 10,000 x .5k

Equals about 400m a year in operating costs.

If they are serving more than 400m rides a year and growing that should be a buy because every ride past 400m is pure profit and the only depreciation is their servers which is a minuscule percentage of their costs.

I’m going to read up on this company. It’s lower risk than Tesla because it only requires labour and the demand for getting from a to b is only going to increase. Lyft will never be a verb. Its definitely worth further investigation. I hope the shares sink further.

It worries me too. Why bother setting up a local dev environment if it's a single click to get up and going on GitHub, right?

Everyone is too eager to set themselves up to be taken advantage of tomorrow as long as they can save a minute today, often by spending their employers' money. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually the free tier of GitHub comes with X free build minutes, X free Visual Studio Online minutes, etc.. That way you never learn to do anything for yourself and as soon as you need to scale up you're extremely vendor locked and overpaying for your tooling.

Remember how everyone freaked out when JetBrains switched to their "subscription" pricing? They charge $650 / year for every IDE or $150 for the personal license. Visual Studio Online is around $1000 / year for a single editor if you figure a 2080 hour work year and there's no personal license.

I am curious on how a person can live in the USA for their whole lives for $3 - 5 million. Serious question.
Lost in points like this, where you’re trying to scare people by saying a large number, is that the distinction between a Medicare for All type of system and the current private system is less about how much it costs and much more about who the middleman is.

* In M4A, Americans will pay ~$30T/10yr to providers through the government as a middleman.

* In the current private system, Americans will pay ~$30T/10yr to providers through whichever company their employer has selected as a middleman.

The only cost question re: M4A is whether Americans will spend slightly more or slightly less overall when costs are increased because coverage is extended to 10% more people, and costs are decreased by:

- massive efficiency gains of a single payer,

- elimination of profit to shareholders who siphon money away from care,

- better preventative care that reduces or eliminates more expensive catastrophic care.

And additional intangible benefits like:

- not having your healthcare decided by your employer,

- having the ability to be an entrepreneur and/or start a small business while having the security of healthcare,

- the fact that small business will be able to better compete with huge corporations for desirable employees because they won’t have to offer health benefits themselves.

I've written between three and ten custom answers for each college to which I have applied. For the schools with more, there are usually three extra essays plus a bunch of short-answer questions. I've also applied to a good few honors programs, which have about three additional essays apiece.

The only thing the common app does is standardize the name/dob/address form that's two pages of paper anyway. The essays, which are by far most of the work, are mostly different. Oh, and the schools all still charge full application fees.
People obsessed with "how will we pay for it" just don't understand. The skewed distribution of wealth creates a situation where people don't have time and energy left over from their hustle to take care of themselves and to take care of each other in basic ways. People are sacrificing to the gods of capitalism. Correcting the skewed distribution of wealth would shift agency back to people to mind the business of living life up close, rather than having their life energy extracted.

This is part of a degrowth mindset, and it will freak people out who flee from the shame of not winning, who cannot handle pauses or idle time, who must have control over other peopes' lives. But we can't have those people running this planet into the fire. They're gonna have to learn to be alright.

If you don't have a credit score or a credit score of 0 due to a thin file, you can get one by using a cash-secured loan of $500. The loan amount doesn't really matter so you can pick the smallest loan they offer. Then you're basically buying yourself a credit score for $50 or less. Don't use online lenders because the one I used (selflender.com, name & shame) kept my $500 principal despite claiming over and over that they sent a check that never arrives. If you do this, use a CU or bank branch instead so that after you pay it off, you can stare them in their money-loving bankster eyes to politely demand your $500 back.

As a German, I'm kinda confused how that "truck" is called a "lorry". I think in Germany it would be classified as a PKW (Personal vehicle) [0], as opposed to an LKW (Cargo vehicle) [1].

> is an alternative to putting up with someone but it’s strictly worse for obvious reasons

If the person has the choice of this happening, and chooses, for whatever reason, to have this happen to them, then yes, I would say that it is positive, and not negative.

I am specifically referring to people voluntarily choosing something for themselves. And no matter how ridiculous, I'd still say that it is positive, if they choose to do it.

> Nobody's arguing with your right to do stupid things

I am saying that if someone chooses to do it, then it is not stupid. People can have whatever reasons that they want, for doing anything, and I am not going to argue against it.
Also, the difference in sub-NUMA configuration actually favors AMD as well. NPS=4 is optimal for AMD, as shown by ServeTheHome's own work earlier. Both systems are tested in their proper (fastest) configuration.

Despite ServeTheHome's own previous work showing this, they're whining about it being different. But if Intel hadn't tested AMD in the proper configuration they would have complained about that too.

Yeah, you take first-party benchmarks with a big grain of salt like always, but STH is just looking to stir some shit here.

Anything running connected to the internet at all would be well advised to have them because you can take advantage of the exploits via the network stack.

Anything running on a vm has to have them since microcode is set by the hypervisor.

It's too bad NASA didn't let SpaceX test propulsive landing with the cargo Dragons. Without that, SpaceX scrapped the feature from the Dragon program as a whole. It seems like they might have been able to get more reliability with that than the parachutes.

Yes, but a little bit every year != all at once. Selling off a bit every year, you can likely find a welcome market. Sell everything at once, the market will tank/disappear or go for an extreme loss. He probably wouldn't even be able to find a buyer(s) if he decided to sell off completely today.
My point wasn’t to take a dig at M4A. (I'm a proponent of universal healthcare, though I'd prefer extending ACA.) I mentioned it because OP talked about sweating medical bills. The point is that the cost of providing healthcare to everyone is vastly more than the wealth of even billionaires. (By the way, the expert estimate linked from Warren's own site is $52 trillion/10 years, not $30 trillion.)
