In aggregate? No.

By virtue of not being born there I'm better off than the vast majority. Sure, I work hard at what I do. I'm also lucky a series of lucky and unlucky events transpired the way they did in order for there to exist an opportunity for me to work hard at something and do well.

Luck is 90% of it for pretty much everyone.
May I ask what exchanges you are using? There is 1.5M in dai liquidity on uniswap and as you can see plenty of people are moving huge sums without incurring noticeable slippage.

I think most marketers are aware that a lot (maybe half) of clicks are bots/fraud.

At the end of the day, if your ROAS is good, you don't care that much.
Define 'good reason'.
So glad I'm not involved in PPC anymore. We used to catch junk clicks all the time, from many different countries. One company I worked with was local and wanted very targeted local clicks. Nothing I could do could stop clicks from other states and countries, which were useless to them.

Don't get me started about Twitter advertsing. Want some followers for your business? Twitter will gladly send you tons of obviously fake profiles as soon as you get too many impressions without a click. Like profiles without real pictures and timelines consisting only of retweets.

You have to tolerate an accepted amount of cruft with any PPC campaign.
Being a SWE on Ads gave him an inclination to use Google products?!

Honestly I think this highlights how divorced eng is from real world usage, otherwise he'd know this shit happens. every.damn.day.

ad tech is a house of cards and makes me reconsider working at Google every day.
More likely vinyl wrap. There are already companies announcing various options for this. And because Cybertruck isn't curved, the wrap is much easier to apply.
Matt Levine wrote that it's not as bad as it could be, because Softbank generally only counted valuations where at least some other investors were participating. So they weren't completely setting arbitrary numbers by themselves.
If Google’s ad business dries up, what do you think they will pivot to? It scares me to think about what a desperate company with that much data would do.
Yep. And, ironically since greed and profits ruined my life and stole my future, the only thing that will change that at this point is a lot of money to buy survivable conditions and be able to try treatments and options and have the basics of life. My magical wishes would be a new body in a world without capitalistic greed and egos, but in this world with those things the only thing that could save me is the thing that ruined me...because that's the game. And since no system would help me, and family has abandoned, blamed, and ignored me, and there is no money tree to pluck down piles of cash from. Flipping the switch off before even THAT becomes physically/situationally impossible for me is the only choice. Not like I want it...but I want to live in this pain and this place and with this deplorable quality of life less.
I would have agreed with your comment 10-15 years ago – but now, the evidence is overwhelming. I don’t have time today, but I will reply your comment in a day or so (will also cite several meta-analyses). Meanwhile, you can take a look at the many links I provided to your earlier (above) comment – they cite many research studies as well.

> Wow, the cold/warm soaks sound like they make for a very slow iterative process when it doesn't work on the first try. Do you have several systems soaked at the same time? So if the first you test fails, you can adjust something and test on a second setup while the first is re-soaked?

Thermal chambers are quite expensive, around $100,000 per unit. So bigger shops such as Intel, AMD, Qualcomm probably have many. But I would be surprised if smaller companies have more than a couple.

It is a painful process when a company develops their first system. As you would guess, once they have a proven PCB design with DDR controller firmware, the DDR sub-system design is reused in subsequent systems.

Now say you've been shipping the system for a couple of years. There is one situation under which the above experiments will need to be performed again.

Say your system uses a 16GB DIMM. Micron and Samsung, the DIMM makers, are always trying to improve their manufacturing process, moving to the next node (14nm to 7nm) and so on. So every couple of years you'll find them EOL-ing (End of life) a certain 16GB DIMM for a newer one. There is a chance you'll start seeing failures with the new 16GB DIMM.

> I also thought much of the difference in length on the PCB is compensated by with those wiggly traces (so all have equal-ish length), but you still need to compensate for it? Or is it just to gain a larger error margin?

You are partially correct.

Check out this image:
https://www.systemverilog.io/ddr4-initialization-and-calibra...

PCB Board designers match the length of the data lines, which are hooked up in a star-topology from the processor to different DRAMs on the DIMM.

But the address lines are hooked up using fly-by topology. So data signals launched from the processor arrive at all the DRAMs at the same time. But the clocks and address signals that are launched from the processor will reach each DRAM on the DIMM at different times. So, initial calibration compensates for this.
Oh that's cool. This happened to me a few years ago, we'd moved house in December and had no internet all Christmas/new year due to all the contractors being on holiday. I was emotionally scarred enough to still remember it today!

Maybe that behaviour's fixed now, or maybe I just hadn't found the setting mentioned in the comments below.

Well, don't criticize then unless you want to own it. There's a variation of this advice wrt communicating with your boss, which is blindingly obvious to anyone who's ever been a manager, but rarely obvious to the subordinate: don't come to me with problems. Any idiot can do that, and many do. Come to me with solutions, or at the very least a proposal on how to solve problems that you're prepared to follow through on. This is basically the surest way to advance your career on any team, yet people just don't do it. Nobody likes the complainer, everyone, especially managers, likes the problem solver.

Yes. As an advertiser, who traces each ad, I can say that advertising has demonstrably made me thousands upon thousands of dollars.

However, 80% of ads are trash peddled by blind men leading blind men.

There are very specific advertising techniques that work consistently, but most "marketing types" optimize for flashy artistic ads that have literally ZERO selling power.

In fact, in some studies, ads actually REDUCE sales -- by, for example -- accidentally highlighting something that is an unexpected turn off to customers.

But, the problem is, most companies don't trace their ads. And that's why overwhelmingly a lot of advertising money is wasted.

But this state of affairs has been going on since the 60's.

So I wouldn't underestimate the number of gullible humans to keep paying for advertising.

As long as you have eyeballs you'll probably always have an excess of ad spend.

I doubt this is the case at all.

We have the luxury of hindsight to know which peculiar schools of thought were rubbish, so we don’t even teach them.

I’m sure there are many, many theorems built up with Euclidean Geometry that we don’t bother teaching anymore.

Because modern methods make the results trivial.

Today, what are we burdening upcoming scientists with unnecessarily?
It's well known in business that ads are generally dubious at best and likely mostly a fraud. Unfortunately, there isn't an alternative than doing all the work in-house. And, if you're good enough to do it in-house to make it a business, you'll easily figure out that you can cheat other people. IMHO, ads should be treated as a national resource with open accounting and a non-profit goal. This would instantly force companies to have to charge for services, pushing things back into competition.
Yes, I think society is too easy on people in general and yes, if you drive drunk or while texting once, you should lose your license for a year and get 14 days in jail, do it twice and lose your license for 10 years and 6 months in jail, kill someone drunk or texting and get life in prison without the possibility of parole.
That's Australia for you. We're the prototypical "big government nanny state" that conservative Americans fear. This could also be motivated by the Australian government's radical opposition to clean tech.

12 years for killing someone is a complete joke. Kill someone at 26 and get out at 38? Fuck that. Glad I don’t live there.
I don't personally believe the narrative around the founding of Facebook. The story you know is the story they told you. Suppose for a moment the stories behind these tech giants isn't what you're told it is. Suppose there is an intelligence agency backing all these tech successes and placed certain people in control of them because those certain people are loyal? That isn't luck, then, is it?

Luck would be that someone at a random State U. had these ideas and was able to successfully convert them into success. That is luck. What you see before you today is not luck, but rather part of a design.

The poor can afford more gadgets, information, toys, appliances, etc than ever before. What they can't afford is housing, tuition, and health care, the three things whose cost has exploded since the late 1990s. In larger cities and especially coastal ones housing is the worst, while for the interior its education and health care.
OpenNIC could work if there'd be an easy way to instruct e.g. dnsmasq and dnscrypt-proxy to resolve only certain TLDs using only OpenNIC, I'd definitely have it enabled then.

If we invent significant life extension, microdosing may be a required part of the protocol just to keep the brain plastic enough to function. It may already be beneficial as a routine geriatric prescription. "Go play with grandma, she's on her weekly trip."

yes, that is what the article is about, but the post i was replying to was speculating that it would be less safe for occupants
Unfortunately trees, concrete pillars, and brick walls are unlikely to comply with safety restrictions on weight. Georgia was ridiculed a few years back for prohibiting trees between the road and the sidewalk under the theory that a car that wanders off the road can recover its intended path of there aren't trees in the way. Lightweight cars would still be lethal to pedestrians but also would make the elimination of trees and street furniture between the road and the sidewalk more desirable.
Tor also allows everyone to keep an URL instead of having to worry about being outbid or just being able to pay anything.
This is quite cheap actually. 12x multipler - raise prices(10%) 3 times and it's down to 9x :)

Not sure I understand the achievement.

That type of rendering is more about GPU load than of anything React (DOM) related.

As of DOM rendering of comparable number of nodes then this:

https://terrainformatica.com/2019/07/29/bloomberg-terminal-h...

900 elements re-rendered on each frame of kinematic scroll (60 FPS) with 10% CPU load. And 250 FPS max on typical high-DPI monitor.

In other tests underlying recordset is updated with 25 FPS frequency. The view observes and updates screen for visible rows - 2% CPU for that.

All that in main GUI thread so I do not understand the excitement.
> Aren‘t circumstances like country of origin, financial situation of one‘s parents or genetic disposition more commonly referred to as privilege?

Perhaps they are in the US, but not where I live, so I'm not used to making that distinction. And even if common, I'm not sure it is a useful distinction.

If I were feeling cynical, I would say that privilege seems to be the kind of luck you're supposed to feel bad for having. Maybe that is useful for rising awareness of certain societal problems, but I'm not yet convinced.

Show HN: Nymph, a C like programming language
I'm somewhat confused here. I live in the US but regularly visit Turkey to see family (say, once a year). I also regularly Google things related to the US when I'm there.

Clicks outside the US are not necessarily meaningless -- the screenshot in the article shows that they are targeting people "regularly in the US". Just because I left for a couple of weeks does not mean I abandoned everything related to where I live. There's still value in targeting US ads to me, independent of my current location.
This is really cool -- I know I tend to enjoy certain songs that share certain characteristic flows, this would be a fun way to sort of "quantify" and organize a music library. I wonder if Spotify uses a technique like this as a heuristic for their song suggestions.

By EQ values I assume you're referring to the calibration results. These are typically called Delay Registers.

Yes, before signing-off on a system, we carefully look at the calibration result and see if there is enough margin.

Now what do I mean by margin? - The delay registers hold some sort of an integral value and there is a certain range to it, for example 0 to 7. You typically don't want the result to be at the ends. Because you want to give periodic calibration (which could run due to big temperature swings) a little margin.

If the calibration result does end up at the ends of the range, we have to play around with other DRAM timing parameters, which are managed by the DDR controller.
Best bet is get it up & running using a local HA server and then firewall it off so that it can't phone home

That's the Google AdWords way ... by default, include people "interested in" the United States with no end date. So, lots of junk clicks at high CPCs from India, former Soviet Republics, and other places where the local language may not even be English. Turning these settings off requires drilling down into some obscure Google Ads interface ... it used to be AdWords Dimensions > Geographic, but not sure what it is now.

If you call them on it, the Google phone reps will say with a straight face, “Let's say people with family in Moldova want to look for something to tell their relatives in the U.S.”

The ethical way for Google to handle this would be to make all U.S. campaigns by default target users in the U.S., Indian campaigns target users in India, Moldovan campaigns target users in Moldova, etc. If businesses want to expand their campaigns to people living in other countries for whatever reason, give them the option but don't make it the default.

I feel especially sorry for the local small business owners trying to counter the SEO garbage and Yelp reviews that clutter the results. They try to set up the campaigns trusting Google's guidance, and they're lucky if 10% of clicks end up being target customers living in the same area. Often they have no clue about what's going on, and wonder why their campaigns are costing so much for only a trickle of real customers.
I don't have any real wish to defend this guy since he likely did some really boneheaded things, but "advise them to evade sanctions" could easily just mean "explained to them how to install a crypto wallet on a computer."

>How would you approach customizing the process to the individual or to a given circumstance?

Ideally, you don't. The heart of a good process starts with asking up front: "Is this situation generic enough that we need a procedure for it?"

If yes, write process.

If no, handle as a one off.

I'm not sure how your example applies.
Maybe that is true now, but nearly every Democrat running for the White House has either a Medicare for All or public option plan that would essentially eliminate or reduce our dependence on employer based healthcare over time (some on a faster timeline than others).
I greatly prefer Mozilla’s solution. Home Assistant seemed to have some critical issues when I used it for my two switches and one light bulb. Even turning them on and off on a schedule was dubious. It would forget a device or two and leave it as-is indefinitely. I found it odd that Home Assistant would not alert me to a lost device. Not only does WebThings work for me but it also has a UI that has some thought put into it instead of just spitting its API into a Material interface. It is much easier to use on a small mobile device because of its intentional responsiveness. Maybe it just did not play well with my devices but Home Assistant felt like an MVP that was not up to the task of dependability.
When I lived in a midrise in the middle of town we had a Hummer driver move into the building. He started parking in the handicap space on the ground level because the Hummer's turning radius was too large to be able to make the corners in the parking deck to his leased parking spot. So much for being able to go anywhere in the Hummer. It never was a very practical vehicle. Other than the low polygon looks, the Cybertruck seems inline with the functionality of trucks in the F150 to F250 range. Probably won't be a problem performing tasks that those trucks already perform.

It has been an interesting expose into just why your website is what I consider amateurish junk. It is very unlikely that you're going to be able to learn very much of anything, which explains a lot about how it got that way.

I get it. You are a "programmer". You've earned that distinction by "programming" things, not by understanding them. And I find it especially awesome that in your hyper-competence, you deem it necessary to guide the entire community of people who don't understand things to a whole new way of not understanding floating point.

Well, no harm done. You're theory is that they couldn't understand it anyway. So if this website's audience is people like you, I suppose it's fine. Just please don't do any programming that involves numbers or correctness.
