One thing I miss about Steve Jobs is that he hated fan noise. The fact that Macs only made noise under extreme load was something that I really appreciated.

I'm at a loss for what I'm going to do for my next laptop. Windows 10 still has performance issues that Macs don't have, but Windows laptops clearly have better hardware.

Anyone make the switch back to Windows? (Every time I try Linux it feels like a dumpster fire, even though I want to like it.)
This has been my experience as well. Fans kick on on long compiles, and that's about it.
I know. they have balls, if no sense.
Well I can just disagree. I'm surfer, 20 years surfing, and it's just as any other sport. The image of the free surfer, almost hippie, has 0 to do with the reality, if you are over 30s. Grow up!
I like Ramsey's suggestion of a "car ladder" where you purchase a $5,000 car in cash, make payment to yourself for a year and then sell the $5,000 + the cash you saved to move up to a $10,000 car. Repeat in a loop until you're at the vehicle class you desire.

The drop off in vehicle value over one year is very small at low prices. When you get to more expensive cars, the drop in value is more significant in a year.
have you tried switching profiles then switching back? I think some settings get cached on device until you do a profile change.

Yes, he financed the remaining debt on two previous cars. And he borrowed enough (based on monthly payments) for he and his girlfriend to make payments - but then they broke up. All around poor financial planning.

Dumb stuff like this happens across the country, at a wide range on incomes, and on more than just cars. It really is a problem with education - people simply don't understand interest rates, loans, or general financial planning/budgeting.

I wonder how that came about, and how a culture like that could have come to persist into the 2020s?

My initial thought is to the limited range to actually peruse the sport, leading to a closer knit culture. It's coastal dependent and coast culture always has a distinct identity in my experience, more so than Mountain culture in my experience.
I recall a documentary where they had a bunch of Electric vehicles out on lease. The company wanted to take all the vehicles back off the market so they went to all the owners to take the cars away.

The owners liked the vehicles so much they offered to buy them outright from the company so they could at least keep the cars they liked.

They raised the few million needed to pay off everyone's lease.

Company refused and took all the cars away anyway.

>Is it really that the middle class can't afford cars, or is it that a lot of folks want to buy a car they really can't afford?

If you have to spend more than 100% of your total yearly income on an item that rapidly depreciates in value then yes it's not affordable.
> Based on my interviewing history I'm not in the 95th percentile of programmers - I'm routinely outright rejected and don't even land the on-site interview. And this is basically my best skill for which I've invested an enormous amount of time and energy.

You mentioned faring well in programming classes. Interview performance aside, do you feel that you're a good and perhaps exceptional programmer?
Totally agree. The number of people who naturally always want more is pretty low. Most people just want some level of security and comfort.
As much as the Soccer industry isn't about Soccer and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu industry isn't about Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Every industry is about money.
Side side note: Eastern gray squirrels, Steller’s jays, and assorted chickadee and junco species completely ignore my green laser.

I expected them to chase it, run away from it, or at least look at it a bit to determine if it was a threat, but no, I have not see any reaction at all.
Then why should I comply with your sense of morality, if you have nothing to offer?
So let's assume the person can pay off the loan (A lot of these loans have clauses where if you miss a payment or are late for a payment they can charge a collection fee or repo the car).

From my understanding, what is used is called an "opportunity cost". Meaning, if I took this loan rather than pay off the car, I now have $36,000 in my possession that I would not have otherwise. I have to be able to make more than %1.9 off the money I spent over seven years for that loan to have been worth it.

So let's say I just store $36,000 in a savings account that had a yield of less than %1.9 and used that to pay off the loan. I am still losing money on the deal. If I put it into some sort of investment that made more than %1.9, then I make more money than if I spent it entirely on the car.

This is at least my understanding of how it works out. I welcome other's thoughts if I am wrong.
A bit of a biased source don't you think? The website was created by chevron to serve as chevron propaganda, it would not surprise me to find tons of articles defending their point of view, they don't even try to hide it, the headline of the home is "Chevron's Views

The Ecuador Lawsuit".
Any chance you have a write up on this?
Ah, sorry, I see what you mean now. It was the part where you said "unwarranted" that confused me, as the thing I said was warranted by the headline, the very thing I said was the basis for the assumption.
I think the author's point was that you don't need to have exceptional talent to get into that 5% range. Basically that consistent hard work will get you there.

I think this actually would apply to football scholarships. Remember not all people who win a scholarship are going to become professional players. I suspect that is probably <1% for which exceptional talent is required (in addition to consistent hard work).

Of course it is easier to put in that hard work when the support structures are in place at home/school.
> What metric are you using to point to Apple's decline since Tim Cook came into the company? Product lines, revenue, customers, market cap, employees, daily client interactions, brand value, customer satisfaction?

Not everything can be measured, or measured practicably. Qualitative judgments are valuable.

Yup, that's what I mean. While I do have an Android phone that is patched (Samsung), I understand that many people will be hmm... irritated that this vulnerability won't be fixed and requires them to upgrade. I'd not treat switching to Apple ecosystem as panacea to everything though and would be more for security through audit, not obscurity.
I dont know the situation of everyone. I know what we've always done that works for us. We each have a 45 min commute. We buy the base version of a reliable car (A mazda 3 for example for $18k) with a 5 year loan. Then we drive each car for 10 years. This makes sure we never have more than 1 car loan at a time and the monthly bills are affordable.
They do although they don't necessarily call it that. When I had to get my dad a phone in a hurry from AT&T, the only option was to pay for it monthly as part of my phone bill.
I don't know but I imagine somebody might want to generate an algorithm that puts random clothes on people. There's so much money going on in the fashion industry and beautifying. If you can see how a new shirt fits on an existing person you can also fit a shirt on a fake person right?
The effective interest rate is the difference in the actual depreciation of the vehicle and what your buy out price is at the end of the lease. The dealer has the ability to set the price at the end so they can manipulate how much over true depreciation you're spending.
fwiw NVIDIA GPUs have had a similar behavior under normal conditions on Windows forever. After following up with tech support about it, the explanation provided can basically be summarized as 'the higher the resolution + refresh rate of your attached monitors, the more demand placed on the memory controller and scan-out, which means a higher minimum GPU and/or memory clock to drive it'.

My current RTX 20xx card can drive two 4k monitors at low clocks, but the 9xx series really struggled and the 10 series still needed to clock up some. I suspect something similar is probably happening here with the AMD GPU if you're running the laptop's integrated retina display along with a 1440p60 external display, it's probably forced to clock up to drive that many pixels. I'm not really sure how AMD could get around basic hardware limitations here unless they have a really clever way of driving displays at a low memory clock.
I switched from Mac to Windows 10 and it was painless.

I have seen people drop over $1000 dollars in gifted subscriptions/coins over the course of a single stream where a guy is just playing a video game. I'll admit that this kind of thing isn't common, and you definitely aren't going to find 100 people with that level of disposable income for your following, but there are plenty of people who blow what seems like an unreasonable amount of money just so a stranger on the other side of a screen will notice them.
I call bullshit on this 'passion economy' thing. Masses of people never in history could make a living from what they love, and unfortunatelly there is no sign that it will happen now. Musicans, writers, indie-game creators: most of them do their passion besides a day-job.
Long-tail never made much money and with globalisation it is worse than ever. The unfortunate truth is the opposite: not only long tail does not really work, but as Peter Thiel said: money is in monopolies. Non-monopolies 'compete-away' the profit.

As a developer, you are better off to go work for a monopoly: they pay well. (Google, Facebook, etc).

(This does not mean I do not have a passion project ('indie game'), I just know that the chance that it can replace my day-job is quite low.)

Personally have experienced the "star in a small pool" vs "anonymous in a big pool" thing many times.

I was surprised that the "star" experience wasn't always as personally ego-rewarding. Occasionally surprising people was often superior to the expectation that you always would.
Once that car is yours, the software on the car is yours, too.

It boggles my mind how the manufacturer modifying a car they don't own isn't computer trespass and/or straight theft as they deprive you of the rights of ownership.

Personally I'm more worried about the virus than any scaremongers.

Especially in countries like Indonesia where I am now:

>In Indonesia, Terawan Agus Putranto, the health minister, advised citizens to relax and eschew overtime work to avoid the disease, which has killed more than 360 people and infected more than 17,000 others, mostly in China.

>“To prevent it is very easy as long as your immunity is good,” Mr. Terawan said.

...

>Indonesia has 264 million people, over 2 million tourists from China, but 0 reported cases of coronavirus

> Just 18% of U.S. households had enough liquid assets to cover the cost of a new car, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of 2016 data from the Fed’s triennial Survey of Consumer Finances, a proportion that hasn’t changed much in recent years.

The surprising thing about being poor is how expensive it is!

Those taking out the car loans are paying more than the people who pay cash. It's a kind of quicksand that lulls its victim into a false sense of financial security.

All the while, debt begets higher expenses, which begets more debt. Suddenly, out of nowhere it seems - comes calamity.

This describes both the American consumer, and the US government.
DisplayLink for 4k60 involves compression, yes. So it's probably driving the monitor through a different flow and relying more on the CPU instead of relying on the GPU (the latter will naturally increase GPU heat dissipation)

AMD 64-Core Threadripper 3990X Review: Battle of the Flagships
If you have a long commute you probably want a fuel-efficient car, which is usually going to be a small (and inexpensive) car.

My impression also is that many of the most dependable cars are inexpensive. I've been so amazed at the reliability of the Honda Fit (it required no major repairs until it got totaled around 120k; my main beefs were with the hatchback which needed to be oiled quite often, and the tire pressure sensors that seemed to fail around once a year or so) I was amazed enough that I bought another one (with a three year payment)
I always have a plan. If you don't, you will just be chatting randomly. These meetings should be for your benefit and address workplace issues that your manager can solve somehow. You should beforehand have a good idea of what a successful resolution should be to the issues you bring up.

Hm, I just cant get used how airpods look like while people are wearing them. Like they would stick cigarettes into their ears. Anyway, I prefer over the ear headsets, they just sound better (currently at Sennheiser Momentum, sometimes on cable, sonetimes on BT).
They all have to minimize aerodynamic drag in the same atmosphere, comply with the same vehicle class/dimension based (depending on location) fuel economy regulations and are all judged by the same set of benchmarks. It's no surprise that they mostly resemble each other now that all the easy gains have been made.

I built this using an Arduino board once for my roommate's cat.

It played with it for a little while quickly lost interest, despite how much I tweaked the randomization algorithm. (I tried stuff like truly random points, random jumps, slow movement, etc. etc.)

I figured out that she played much longer when I did it by hand. I realized that when I did it manually, I'd wait for her to catch the dot and then move immediately, so I thought about making something that tracked where the cat was, too, but never got around to it.
That's likely to be closely related to the same dynamics that make maintenance funding so politically difficult. Big new projects are visible, whereas things like maintenance funding or less obvious improvements...aren't, and that difference in political impact can lead to serious agency problems. A politician accrues easy political capital with big, new projects because they're so obvious.

Most articles and papers I've seen on the subject emphasize much more rigorous project-specific cost-benefit analyses. This 2016 CBO paper[0] covers both the history, current situation, and three potential reforms: charging for actual use, cost-benefit analysis, or carefully linking funding to performance metrics. This is a separate Brookings paper discussing the subject as well.[1] Viewing projects less in isolation and more as part of a connected complex system could be more readily captured in cost-benefit analyses, and be more resilient against perverse agency problems.

What less than ethical history are you referring to? Have they deleted posts before?
My husband, a rather fiscally cautious German, has been the main modifier of my behavior: I went from nearly-new loaded Volvo S40 100% financed right as I got my first post-college paycheck, to a 3 yr old well-equipped Ford Focus wagon paid for in cash, to a Nuremberg city transit pass and dibs on the 2008 Ford Fiesta we still have :)
Uhm, what, those brands actually made surfing clothes?

I honestly thought those brands made cool looking extremely casual clothes! Obviously, styles change and things go out of fashion.

Heck, I still own a pair of Volcom board shorts I accidentally bought 15 years ago because I thought they were a cool-looking bathing suit. I even wore them the one time I went surfing in Hawaii. I don't wear them often, because they don't have pockets, but when the occasion calls for them, (like spring skiing,) I love them.
> Did he finance amount due on the trade? Oooh, that's a huge no-no.

Yes, the $9k excess was from previous vehicles (the article says he had two previously).
Good observation. I wondered why the word ‘inflation’ wasn’t in the title, or a major section heading.

Inflation seems to be so much higher than the official numbers. Admitting the real inflation rate would cause problems for the government so they don’t admit it.

I made a nice salad for dinner the other night and joked with my wife that two basic dinner salads might cost $30 in a restaurant now. Then I realized that it was not really a joke, that restaurant prices have gone way up, and a friend who owns a large restaurant told be that food and other operating costs are causing problems for his business.

The real crisis will come when the real purchasing power of pensions, 401K disbursements, and social security stop being anywhere near enough for a decent life.
That assumes that you can skip buying the car. It’s usually not the case and a lot of buyers have not built up savings to be able to refuse a loan.
Maybe not cult, but 'trendy' for sure. It was skateboarding, windsurfing, surfing etc .... trends come and go.
Surfing is inherently limited in its scope by the number of surfable beaches. There's not room for unbounded expansion of the industry, unless you count surf-inspired lifestyle apparel.

I’m gonna go out in a limb here and say it’s common for any executive to pass the buck to any subordinate. It’s human nature to not want blame.
My gut reaction is that the model does an apparently credible job of simulating faces, but cannot take into consideration their underlying biology. I would think a lot of the features these non-existent people have might be biologically incompatible for reasons we don't know. Facial features are incredibly sensitive to exposure to gene:environment interactions. So, I have doubts today they look like anyone real.

I “Hacked” YouTube's Homepage with a Chrome Extension
In the UK, new cars typically get a 3- or 4-year finance deal, with an additional lump sum payable at the end if you want to keep the car. This arrangement is clearly designed to encourage you to get a new car every 3 or 4 years.

I bought a car that I expect to keep at least 5 years (and paid a bit extra for the peace of mind of a 5-year warranty).

To finance this, I specifically sought out a 7-year bank loan. The value of the car at 5 years should exceed the balance of the loan at 5 years, at which point I will probably sell the car, pay off the loan (with some left over), and repeat the process. This works out as a kind of hire-purchase plus minor incidental savings scheme.

I'm an economist. The car was good value and I got a good loan rate. But according to the WSJ (and several comments in this thread) this means I can't afford my car. WTF?
How long must a language be around and prove it’s staying power before people will stop brushing it aside with the “$safe-language-trend-of-the-day“ quip? 1 year? 2 years? 5 years? 50?

It’s pointless to argue with someone who throws Rust into that category at this point because it means nothing. It’s a slight to allow them to feel ok, that eventually this language too will pass, and so it will be ignored.
