Scraping TechCrunch Articles to Excel Report
If you were the kind of person who drank light beer, candy, and soda, I bet that jingle would spark something.

Ad quality these days has gone down for sure. Everything is formulaic and established and safe, yet nearly every major ad over the course of advertisement history was major because it was the opposite of these. I guess quantity has gone up to compensate.
Check it out, I think it's worth a try, anyway, I'm considering doing what you suggested. Thanks
Somewhere in my career I realized this as well and it has been incredibly helpful.

I call it "embrace the suckiness". When faced with a problem that seems impossible because you lack so much knowledge you are just going to have to accept that you suck for a little while. You have to stay calm and break the problem down into smaller problems and start trying the most retarded things you can think of. Sure, you'll struggle. And yes, half of what you try is going to be worthless, but you're acquiring knowledge and understanding at every step. Eventually it'll all make sense. You have to stay confident that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Solving tough problems and learning new things is all about persistence.

I can't express how important this mindset is for me. It's so statisfying to know that I can handle any problem thrown at me and I won't freak out or me give up. I just keep sucking until I don't.
I have two questions for people at intel and the peanut gallery

- If I want a high performance CPU that's not "workstation" class: why should I buy an i7 over a 3700x or 3800x?

- How meaningful is the "intel inside" brand when IT/GIS departments buy machines in bulk for their enterprise users?

I agree it's going to be a combination of solutions with energy storage, depending on what you need. Batteries are good for short-term, portable storage. The other solutions you mentioned may be better for long-term, non-portable storage.

I also think we can get more mileage out of chemical fuels produced with renewables - ammonia, hydrogen.

Sadly 128GB is easy without ECC, but hard with ECC. There are 16GB ubuffered ECC dimms around for $100 or so, but no 32GB ECC I could find.

So 64GB ECC is easy, 128GB ECC not ... unless you upgrade to one of the "P" Epycs like the 7302P or 7402P. That gets you 16 cores/32 threads (ryzen 3900 x = 12 cores/24 threads) but also 4 times the memory bandwidth.
There are places on Airbnb that have never been rented. How would those places be verified, which is necessary if you want to say "Every listing is verified", if you do anything other than send employees to those places?

Craigslist, Booking etc don't make any claim that all places are verified so they don't need employees to do that work. If Airbnb are going to make that claim then they will need people to do the verifying.
> The purpose is to have students practice so that, when they really do have to convey something in writing, they can convey it well.

Even doing that you can block ads trivially. I can set up a filter right now to block any element on the hn page forever if I wanted. You can always serve an ad to most people, but anyone willing to slip down the rabbit hole and end up with u block origin will be able to foil any advert with a right click.

We are simply confusing two different meanings of "responsibility" and misunderstanding each other.

Responsibility is both a way of acting that is mindful of the consequences, and simply the fact that people will ask you to respond of the consequences of your actions.

The two are strictly connected but are not the same. You "act responsibly" when you are prepared to answer tough questions about your actions. The simple fact that you will be asked to answer those questions, independently from your actions, is the fact of "being responsible".

So responsibility as virtue is not required by freedom; but as a simple fact of life it is its consequence, people will consider you responsible for what you do.

It's funny that the Post failed to convey this information.
Aeroplanes have 50 years of global experience in how to fly planes safely. Self driving cars aren't even a full product yet.

If (and it is a big if) there is one engineer who was grossly negligent then yes they shouldn't be working on self driving cars.

But it is far more likely that this was totally normal corporate ineptitude and will be fixed in the due course of normal engineering processes.

A safe culture is not built by people making wild guesses about what and why on forums. It is likely that the engineer responsible for this code is also going to be responsible on net for a very large number of lives saved and judgement of who may have been culpable for what should be left to the courts. Morally I'm happy to say that I believe not only is he or she in the clear but probably deserves a pat on the back for helping to push forward the technology most likely to promote save young lives that I've ever seen. I've had young friends who died from car crashes and ... not much else. Maybe drugs and diseases in a few rare cases. I want technology that gets people taking their their hands off the wheel and I want it ASAP. It doesn't need to be perfect; it just needs to be about as good as what we have now and consistently improving. Anyone halfway competent who is working on that as a goal has my near total support.

This is not the time to be discouraging people who work on self driving cars. This is a time to do things properly, non-judgmentally and encouragingly while acknowledging that we can't have cars running people over if we can possibly avoid it and fixing what mistakes get found.

Looking at images of crystallized materials and interpreting all similarity between small regions as proof of scientific fraud is a bit dangerous though... If I had to guess I’d say it’s more likely that that electron microscope image in Bik’s embedded tweet is genuine than not.

Intel Inside is not that important anymore unless you have a big Intel AMT architecture for handling deployments / etc.

What is more important for IT depts is pricing, shipping timelines, available configurations, enterprise deployment options, etc.

There's no reason these can't all be at-par with AMD-based machines, but because of Intel's deep relationships with the vendors, sometimes you simply can't get their AMD machines at a price point that makes sense. Consider the fact that desktop processing performance was good enough 8+ years ago for anything most office workers need to do now; what IT wants in many industries is cost-effective machines that are easy to manage. The component brands inside don't matter that much.
tl;dr: the Australian grid is working on a faulty system because of politics. This is not a technical limitation there.
Sounds like Epyc to me.

7302P (16c/32T), 7402P (24c/48t), 7502p (32c/64t), or 7702P (64c/128T).

You also get 4 times the memory bandwidth and motherboards guaranteed to work with ECC.

Of you could go half way, threadripper comes out tomorrow or so and has twice the memory bandwidth of Ryzen/half of Epyc in the TRX40 parts. There's also a TRX80 which is using the same socket/memory bandwidth as Epyc.
Why We Need an Open, Universal Standard for Editing Documents
I think why you want to buy a Intel now is:

- Laptop ( battery life is better on Intel CPU's), but AMD has this covered next Q.

- Intel NUC ( it's very practical )

- For Single core optimized applications ( eg. Some games) when you don't care about the total price at all. Intel's one core performance was better and support in games is lacking for a lot of cores. I think next Ryzen will handle this.

- When AMD is sold out completely and you need a CPU now :p

Other than that, i think it's all AMD (eg. ECC memory, price, performance and buying the "underdog" ).

Except if someone just wants to pay the highest price just for show, then you could still buy an Intel.

Intel inside is an OEM partnership, that i hope AMD will break :) .

Inserting Israel into a completely irrelevant thread is .... totally not anti semetic. Especially this bit:

> US house of senate pushing unconstitutional anti-BDS laws?
> could not find any reasonably practical way to verify the CD image PGP seal

There is no easy or obvious solution here. You can not verify anything PGP unless you can directly (!) obtain the public key from the person in question. So-called Web of Trust is a theoretical construct.

> Who wants to install an OS without being able to verify the image seal?

Well, for example, Ubuntu downloads (and checksums) were available exclusively over plain http until 2018 or so. Flavors are still http.
you could maybe sniff OTP over it but to time it with an attack, you’d still need quite a few other things. I wouldn’t get a wireless yubikey personally but I can see how some might prefer the convenience over security
Sorry, I was not completely clear in my comment. What I meant is having a 5 day work week, but having some gaps of time to focus on learning.

FYI people asking about the verifications. The Plus listings (as well as lux) are all verified by someone, has specific standards, including the amenities. So if you worry about the quality, search for plus listings (hit the filters on search page and select plus)

My guess this means they will extend/move more listings to the plus category over time.

That reminds me of the so called "Niedertarif-Speicherheizung" (storage heater) that were installed until the 80s here in Germany. They used the comparatively cheaper energy during the nighttime to heat up and then emit the heat during the day. They were controlled by the energy provider to turn on when the energy price was low.
Additionally I think it disappointing that Twitter curates this type of content at all. I was never a heavy user, but currently Twitter just hasn't any draw at all anymore.
I'm still dubious about the implication that digital advertisement is fundamentally broken.

My issue is that the article doesn't demonstrate selection effects dominating over advertising effects for companies with no major brand identity. The examples cited to back the case - eBay (which is huge), "large" retailers in the case of Facebook ads, "major U.S. retailers and brokerages with millions of customers" per Lewis and Rao 2015 - are all established companies that have already received substantial presence. Where are the experiments that demonstrate selection effects dominating over advertising effects for companies with no pre-existing brand identity e.g. The Correspondent (sorry, I couldn't resist :P)?

Second issue: the article demonstrates convincingly that
brand-keyword ads are broken, which is great. But at the same time brand-keyword ads are not (to my knowledge as a former engineer at an SEO company, so it could be imperfect) the primary kind of keyword ads. A brand-keyword ad is when someone types in "eBay" and you get paid eBay links - but the majority of keyword ads (again, this is from memory) are targeted keyword ads e.g. someone types in "fur coat" and Macy pays Google to put a link to its "fur coats" pages. Equally interesting, multiple companies can pay for the same targeted keywords, meaning you can have multiple links pointing off to different sites on the same page.

The pizzeria analogy explains why brand-keyword ads make no sense monetarily (someone searching for your brand specifically will find you anyway), but it falls apart for the targeted keyword space, where people are searching by items but not by brand.

Given that much of SEO and digital marketing are target-based rather than brand-based, I'm not sold yet on the ineffectiveness of digital advertising overall.

I agree with you. When I saw this project I thought "the bulk of this should be about 50 lines of XSLT and then a simple script to manage push".

I am probably underestimating the complexity of the problem, but I have a feeling that this is a "I hacked this together in an hour and it works a lot better than expected" type of problem.
I’ve been taking it for over 6 months now. I love it! Benefits so far: more consistent energy throughout the day, better sleep, far fewer headaches, much less inflammation overall, much less of a hangover after a night of drinking, better focus and concentration, better libido, better skin tone, heightened senses, and I could go on. I have experienced no negatives. I take 1 tsp./day; more when I’m going to be drinking, didn’t get enough sleep, or when everyone around me is sick. I haven’t gotten sick since I started on it. We’ll see if I make it through the cold/flu season unscathed for the first time in my life. Cheers
They’ve stopped being an arch enemy and twirling their mustache so often.
Ok so they do that, they organise people and get everyone working together (which, while it’s not generally acknowledged in this kind of conversation, IS work and DOES count as creating value) and by the time they’re old, they own a chip fab. That’s ok, right? It’s fair? If they build it, or pay other people to build it in a fair trade of money for services, then they own it?

So if they own it, they can do what they like with it.

Including give it to their daughter.

This also strikes me as odd. I've recently been seeing extremely short reviews for places. That is, 10+ reviews per place that are basically "was great, would recommend!" or "the host was responsive, I'll come back!".

I can't tell if this is a thing people do or if they are somehow fake 5 star reviews.

I was referring to the 2018 incident. Pilots did everything by the book, yet lost elevator control.

You mentioned LH2904 and TAM3054. In both cases the pilots fucked up. Full stop.

Both flights were deemed pilot error by the respective investigative agencies. In the Lufthansa flight, they touched down too far down the runway.

>>someone with 1 million dollars is astronomically more likely to make another million dollars than someone with 100 dollars, even if the two people are otherwise identical, and it seems pretty unlikely that wealth creation has much to do with the distribution we see.

Someone who scores 85 marks in an exam is more likely to score 95 with a little more effort than some one who scores 35 is likely to score 85 with a lot of effort. This is for a very simple reason that to get to 85 requires a lot of effort, which builds a whole range of human qualities along the way.
Throwaway here, some clients may not like it.

I am having basically a 3-4 hours workday and have had for a few years now.

As a freelancer doing most work remotely, I can easily set my schedule. I charge clients per day, and so far I have never had a complaint about being too slow or too unproductive. I seem to very often be more productive than "full-time" employees.

A few years ago I was almost depressed because I thought I was very bad at work ethics. Doing other things during the day, spending some days as little as one or two hours on the client's project. Then I realized that the days where I would force myself to work 8 or 9 hours on a project usually end up with me staring at the screen and doing useless or even counter-productive things for hours.

I then switched into accepting it. My quality of life improved, the quality of my work seemed to not have changed or even improved a bit (I spend more time improving myself actually, learning new things) and I managed to raise my rates. So technically, I raised my yearly productivity by halving my workday.

Obviously, that's not the case for all jobs, but for software developers, I think I am not alone in that case: I can be productive 3 or 4 hours per day. After that, I can convincingly pretend to be productive but with very low value and probably a toll on my productive time on the next day.
When I was building a PC last December, I considered AMD until I saw that https://github.com/mozilla/rr requires an Intel processor.

> rr currently requires an Intel CPU with Nehalem (2010) or later microarchitecture.

I don't even use rr at the moment, but I hate the idea of building a monster machine only to find that I'm left out of some cutting-edge technology because I went off-brand.
> The French Revolution and Russian Revolution might like to have a word with you on that.

Assassinating those you don't like isn't a solution to any problem, specially inequality. In fact, neither France nor Russia became equality Haven's after they assassinated their elites.
Supporting the rich elite is literally the basis of the current Republican party platform. Along with a not insignificant amount of xenophobia and distaste for the poor working class.
