What statutes do you believe would stand in the way of an organization offering excellent daycare services to its employees, as suggested in the OP?
Pubic transit is a drop in the bucket compared to "affordable housing" which no one who has a full time minimum wage job qualifies for. And the homeless industrial complex just keeps getting more and more funding with no accountability or results in sight. It's almost like they want more homeless to justify their $300K/yr "non-profit" jobs.
Using Microsoft as an example to argue that monopolies aren't bad shows you are either very young or were not paying too much attention in the 90s. The reason Chrome even exists today is because the US & EU governments forced Microsoft to support other software and companies better.

Not sure what he means by sourcing from the gray market? Does he mean that it's illegal to produce pop sockets because of copyright or patent infringement and Amazon is facilitating this? Or is he thinking that anyone who produces a competitive product is somehow wrong?

If the former, that truly is (or should be) illegal and I hope Amazon is punished dearly. If the latter, what a wimp. This is capitalism baby, and you need to buck up.

You think walmart doesn't use it's market dominance in retail to try to push prices down? How do you think we've got so much progress in our consumer markets. Understand, that Amazon is not profiting here when it pushes prices down. It's just trying to deliver a better service for it's customers and compete with other companies like Walmart.

In fact, Amazon's margins decrease when it pushes prices down.

That all said, I really have no idea what he means by gray market and willing to learn.
I think a larger percentage of society would be willing to call this "structural gender-based inequality" rather than sexism, because most people including myself use the word "sexism" to refer to a belief that one sex is less capable or somehow worse than the other.

Similarly, men live fewer years than women, and so receive less retirement benefits. This is a structural gender-correlated inequality (maybe gender-correlated is even better than gender-based) but I don't think many people would call it "sexism against men". They would just say "oh, yeah, that's odd... maybe we should adjust that now that you've brought it to our attention".
folks flee Democrat-run cities due to high taxes and mismanagement and move elsewhere, but then continue voting Democrat

This does seem to be the case.

If you look at the voting statistics for cities where Californians are fleeing -- Boise, Las Vegas, Reno, Salt Lake City, etc -- those cities are rapidly turning blue.

But I don't know if they continue voting Democrat "to bring back" their old laws and lifestyle so much as they're just used to voting a particular way and continue to do so.

There don't seem to be a lot of people who put effort into making informed voting choices on a candidate-by-candidate basis and just go for whatever party they voted for last time.
Four days is nearly instantaneous in logistics-system terms. I'd be surprised they managed to lose the thing, realize they lost the thing, and then give up on the thing turning up later on, all so quickly.
Not related to the thesis of the post, but this:

> And yet, if you ask leading women researchers like Nobel Laureate in Physics 2018, Professor Donna Strickland, or Canada Research Chair in Advanced Functional Materials (Chemistry), Professor Eugenia Kumacheva, they say that sexism was not a barrier in their careers.

— is such a bizarre argument to make. How can one conclude anything about sexism by asking leading women researchers whether whether it has been a barrier in their careers. The very fact that they’ve achieved leading positions says that it wasn’t; it says absolutely nothing of whether it was for those who have left.

_(I am not claiming anything about sexism; I was simply mystified by this paragraph)_
Quite often there is an "acquishutdown"; the company is bought for the team not the product, or the product fails to integrate, or is neglected. So if you were happy with the product, you're worse off after an acquisition.

4GB is terrible under Windows 10 (you'll be swapping all the time, which means either visibly thrashing if running a spinning disk, or wearing out a SSD with excess writes). 8GB is considered a mildly tolerable amount, and 16GB is almost the standard for "real" use. Yet under Linux, even as little as 2GB can make for an incredibly snappy and productive experience. Go figure.
Would you think a tax levied on the childless and payed out the child-possessing to be sufficiently gender neutral?

> New York, California and Illinois have been hemorrhaging residents.

Well, no. At least California (about which I see a lot of these stories) is gaining residents. Yes, it has negative net interstate migration. But it has both positive net natural population growth and positive net total migration, because the positive net international migration more than offsets negative net interstate migration.

I was one of those who moved from the SFBay to Texas. Knowing that for what i'd need to save up for a down payment for a home in the bay is enough to buy a house in Texas cash was an extremely strong motivating factor.

I sympathise with your customer-support point, but not the others. Customers are paying for cloud resources. If their demands are too much for your infrastructure, the issue lies in your infrastructure, or in your claims to customers.

A customer's need for additional resources should translate to a price-point question, rather than to uncertainty about what they've already paid for.

> SSDs have a limited lifetime measured in writes, and some of your customers will leave broken programs running that chew through this precious resource for no reason. If you throttle them, they'll complain.

High IO doesn't always mean an instance was compromised.

There should be clearly defined limits, and/or a clearly defined throttling policy, and the customer should have the option to buy their way out. Amazon gets this right. There should be no guessing game about reasonable use, or goodwill.

> Those pwned customers are complaining and demanding that you fix it, and the regular customers are also upset because of slowness due to the "noisy neighbor" problem inherent to all VPSes.

High CPU load doesn't always mean an instance was compromised. If you've sold CPU resources, the customer is entitled to use them. Obvious example: build servers.

If other customers experience unacceptable degradation, that means you overpromised, or else your isolation solution isn't fit for service.

Again, Amazon gets this right. They're criticised for their complex billing schemes, sometimes rightly, but it clearly makes sense to measure and be explicit about all resource-consumption. They even have an elaborate scheme to incentivise customers to tame down their CPU usage, in the form of 'burstable performance instances'.

> Anyway, I do hope they can become profitable!

Agreed. It's good to have smaller players, not just the big three of Amazon/Google/Microsoft. Competing on price-point without having the same scale, must be really tough.
Four days is more than long enough to figure out that a tracked delivery has probably been lost. You refund and tell the delivery company to return to sender.

This wasn't even a direct refund, just an email making it easy for the customer claim one.

> This raises antitrust issues (using dominance in one market to control another market).

No it doesn’t. Patents are a explicitly a time-limited, government-granted monopoly on a particular innovation.

Patents were originally established to create a financial reward which encourages investment and invention. Patents are often abused of course, but incentivizing the creation of an innovative tiny and durable connector is exactly what a patent is designed to do.
I'm not sure how much explanation you want. The short answer is that TTL (transistor-transistor logic) is an older logic family, while CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) is what's used nowadays, such as in microprocessors.

In more detail, first there were bipolar transistors (NPN and PNP) and later MOS transistor (NMOS and PMOS). Bipolar transistors are your basic semiconductor transistors with three layers of semiconductor. MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) transistors have an insulating oxide layer between the silicon and the metal (or polysilicon) on top. MOS transistors were developed later than bipolar, and started to become popular in the 1970s.

One type of logic that you can make from bipolar transistors is TTL (transistor-transistor logic). TTL is better than earlier logic families such as resistor-transistor logic (RTL) or diode-transistor logic (DTL). TTL was cheap, reliable, fast, easy to use, and popular with minicomputer manufacturers. TTL has two main problems, though. It uses a fair bit of power, and you can't make it very dense. I.e. you can't put a lot on a chip.

MOS, on the other hand, has the advantage that you can make very dense circuits from it. (I.e. Moore's law applies.) NMOS was used for early microprocessors such as the Z-80 and 6502. The problem with NMOS is that it uses resistors (sort of) in the logic gates, and these waste power.

The solution was CMOS, complementary MOS. You use both NMOS and PMOS transistors (the complementary part), and you can get rid of the resistors, and your chip uses very low power. The problem with CMOS is it's more complicated because you need two types of transistors, and twice as many (sort of). However, the need for low power won out in the mid-1980s and microprocessors such as the 80386 started using CMOS. Use of CMOS has continued to the present.

I'm oversimplifying the history somewhat. The books "To the digital age" and "History of semiconductor engineering" go into much more detail.

I think the idea is to keep the rules of the competition basically the same, but make it feasible for more people to compete. The same number of winners might result, but hopefully they'll be more talented, because they're selected from a larger pool of competitors.

It would happen in medicine if the public generally knew the truth.

The risk of a medical error rises by about 1% for every year a doctor is out of school.

Either AMA's continuing education requirements are lacking, or something else is at work.
The jobs reallocate over time but it's a bumpy process that can ruin the lives of those affected.

This is why broadly speaking the historical Luddite's were right, from their own perspective. It may the best thing to do for an overall economy, but pretending people won't get screwed over in the process isn't doing anyone favors.

Not addressing this fundamentally as a matter of policy is a choice. I'm not saying it is the wrong choice, just that being transparent about what that means would seem to be the best course.
Lunk Alarms are exactly this: a mechanism for ridding your company of high cost / high maintenance users to focus on the more profitable ones.
I have worked in the field since 1982, so I have experienced “the need to work on other things for a while” to earn a living.

My prediction is that we are going to see a small revolution in cost reduction: hardware for deep learning will get cheaper; great educational materials like fast.ai and Andrew Ng’s lessons will increase the hiring pool of people who know enough to be useful; the large AI companies will continue to share technology and trained models to help their hiring funnel and general PR; programmer less modeling will really start to be a real thing.

My fiance ordered a dress from Amazon that was shipped by the seller from China. She then attempted to return it per Amazon's request back to the seller in China. Amazon claimed they wouldn't issue a refund for the return shipping or the dress until it arrived with the seller. It sat with China Post for like a month, then mysteriously ended up back on her doorstep. She then spent another 3 hours cumulatively arguing with different CSRs at Amazon before they would issue her a refund, on the grounds that the package bounce was her fault. Through this process she was following their directions, used the shipping label provided, and generally tried to comply.

After that and after AZL failed to deliver yet another package to me and the ensuing terrible customer service I received there, I canceled my prime membership and have not ordered a single thing from them since.

It's not worth it because you can't even rely on their customer service anymore.

What does that have to do with anything when he's pointing out with raw data which is provided by science and anybody has the ability to point out what he's doing wrong? If you don't have the ability to point out holes in his data, then I don't think you are acting in good faith.

Well, thanks for introducing me to Vayyar at least ;)

If I understand their value prop, they provide a single sensor solution that is essentially a black box. And the output is the wide-range 4D point cloud. Power consumption is ultra-low. But the fidelity is still very high. It's up to the partner to design the software that consumes the data. Vayyar just provides the black box.

If it works. The total market here seems on order of "replacing cameras" in retail, manufacturing and surveillance!

Women are more likely to want to be the primary caregiver to something that actually came out of them. It's biological and there's nothing sexist about it.
They definitely optimize for impulse purchases, which is the whole point of one click checkout and "free" prime delivery.

If you think about the process of purchasing as a series of decisions, each decision that one has to take is a chance to think "Do I really need this?" and bail out of the check out funnel. Say that delivery wasn't free, you could add add a $5 widget to your cart, then as part of checking out one has to think "is this $5 widget really worth $9 because of $4 shipping costs?"

Instead, it's possible to have this one decision shopping experience where the sole decision is "do I want this $5 widget" and if yes, click the button with no further input required.
Actually, no, it’s the other way around - in less egalitarian countries, women are more likely to pursue science and technical careers.
There's no biological evidence to the contrary, and the statistical, circumstantial evidence can all be convincingly explained by the kinds of structural issues raised in the OP.
I thought the pre-industrial role of women included crafts and gathering. I would put those under the "providing" umbrella.

If we imagine that fathers taught their children to hunt and fight we would expect children to be raised those abilities too.

I wonder if role specialization is more prevalent now than it used to be. Perhaps some pre-industrial societies were more egalitarian than we pretend to be today.

It is, via rent control, which has shown time and again to only help people who already have housing at the expense of those who don't already have it when it's enacted. It also helps wealthy people more than poor people by constraining rent raises even though they could afford market rates.

It is also manipulated by prop 13, which allows people to rent out properties they've owned for a long time at a profit when similar properties can not be. The natural market rate of rent is all inclusive of current costs including tax. But if your tax rate is artificially low, then that difference is increased profit for you, which encourages people not to sell their properties.

For example, I'd had my home for 10 years, and if I were to rent it out, my profit would be about $1,200 a month at current market rates. My property tax is artificially low by about $1,100 a month. So my entire profit would come from Prop 13. Why would I sell my house if I can rent it for profit only because of the lower tax rate?

> or some portions of the demand pool can offer a lot more than others pricing the rest out of the market.

Yes, there is a lot of foreign investment in California real estate which just sits empty. I get ads from agents that "specialize in finding Chinese buyers" which is code for "people who will pay more than asking and not care what condition the house is in".

An excellent book. A long term back pain sufferer herself, in the course of more than a decade the author interviews numerous physicians and trainers in the field of back pain therapy about their method or insights, and does a nice job of contrasting their philosophies and tracking trends in back rehab over time.

Ultimately her experiences and intuitions make a strong case for focused strength training to correct our natural overreaction to past injuries, which often overstresses muscles and joints that can't compensate fully, causing pain.

Note that the 512-bit Larrabee instructions (on Knight's Ferry/Corner) had different encodings (and IIRC different encodings between KNF and KNC), but it was essentially the same instruction set. The few differences there were between LRBNI and AVX-512 had (AFAIK) almost nothing to do with the move from the old Pentium in-order core to Silvermont.

I think it's also safe to assume that, given the lead time to design an ISA and integrate it into an architecture (many years), the merging of AVX-512 into Skylake wasn't done "in a desperate attempt to give KL more software".

These slides from Tom Forsyth provide lots of interesting background on the evolution of the instructions: http://tomforsyth1000.github.io/papers/LRBNI%20origins%20v4%...
