The German standard of living is exceptional. Abstract worries about "the economy not doing too well" don't really matter until the standard of living declines in some meaningful way for a lot of people.

Owners demand perpetual growth. People demand comfortable lives and occasional vacations. Most achieve that in Germany. There probably isn't a single better "poster child" of a prosperous society with anywhere near the same population.

Meh, better to let China rule the world. It’s not like the US wanted to do all the heavy lifting in the Balkans, Libya and Syria. We should have just let the EU flail about and then charged them for our services like the KSA in 91. Get their 2% gdp one way or another.

And not that an EU with 10x the GDP of Russia be able to protect itself. Let us carry 60% of that burden and sit in our corner be a good boy.
Basically, the chips drew more power than expected. You can tell from the fact that they only put one 6-pin on there. That gives a total board power limit of 150W, which the card actually exceeds pretty easily (pulls about 200W). They made the mistake of overdrawing the slot, the fix was to switch to overdrawing the power cable instead (which can tolerate it much more easily, you can very safely do up to twice the rated power).

Part of it was likely that NVIDIA's performance was so good. Some anecdotal rumors from the AMD vlogosphere suggest that AMD thought that the RX 480 would be competitive with the GTX 1080 - I consider this kinda dubious because the RX 480 is basically a GTX 980 tier chip, so that would mean AMD thought that NVIDIA wouldn't make any progress at all from a node shrink, which seems dubious. Maybe they figured the RX 480 would be a lot faster or more efficient than it actually ended up being.

Polaris was the last generation with "old style" voltage control where you just set a target and go, it is possible that they figured the chips would hit close to 2 GHz like NVIDIA's but ended up with validation problems and didn't hit the expected clocks. This could possibly be the reason they nuked Big Polaris and ended up lengthening the pipeline so much in Vega to try and get the clocks up (along with adding the Pascal-style "smart" power conditioning management).

Anyway, regardless, the point is that it seems likely that AMD was forced to push the RX 480 much farther than they intended to, at the last moment. Like, after the PCBs had already gone out for manufacturing, and it was too late to switch the 6-pin to an 8-pin (which would have solved the whole problem, that would have allowed 225W rated total board power).

It was still a bit of a showoff move to run from only a 6-pin, there is no way that the card would have been significantly less than 150W total board power, but perhaps defensible as a compatibility move - although some marginal PSUs still might not have handled it.

9/80 schedules are more popular in defense, at least from what I've seen. There's some unintended consequences (to me) of it. PTO/holidays can get weird, do you get 9 hours of paid time? Do you get 8 and shift your hours? Its mostly a problem when teams have a mix systems and there isn't a standard.

When I was at LM a few years ago, some teams were on a different 9/80 pattern (different Fridays off), and some still on the regular 10/80 schedule. So on Fridays you basically had significantly less people in the office and it was never the person you needed to get work done. Basically made Monday to Thursday the regular working week with Friday being there if you really needed to get work done.

Think the different schedules was a combination of LM employees, employees that were in the union, and external contractors having different contract requirements.
I think he meant that as 'why is this so common in the defense industry'.

I'm not entirely sure that tobacco is the worst product involved with this article. At this point Instagram seems to be doing more social harm than any form of smoking could.

I'm half joking, but to me this is all a freedom thing. If a person is capable of making their own decisions in this already pretty complicated world, the option to use (or to not use) tobacco seems like one they can handle.
Spot on analysis. There is one loophole which is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

If you energy production solution can achieve a lower TCO in an existing market segment, steps six and seven (production and supply chain) take care of themselves. The poster child for this was 'on premise PV generation.'

Once a nuclear technology demonstrates a lower TCO for baseline power generation, its game on.

> Nap time adds to productivity

Amen to this! I pushed for, and saw implemented, a dual nap room for our studio. It was used around the clock by people stretching, meditating, and napping. I found a huge productivity spike taking out 20 minutes a day.

Then, we hired a bunch more people for the upcoming launch, and it was re-purposed into a storage room for old rack hardware (I pushed against this, but was told it was a temporarily unavoidable allocation for the space... meanwhile, the dedicated Lego room sits unused 38 hours a week). So we lost the nap room right as we enter our year of crunch.

Boggles the mind.

It's a matter of focus: The point isn't to derive statistics, any more than the point of a first semester course on differential calculus is to derive the real numbers and the infinitesimals. Calculus isn't useless, it's just not as useful unless you go into specific fields.

I'd imagine most of those who would have need/interest in running this would probably have a developer account and could just compile and install it themselves.
One way I get around this is having an append only version of the main table, and then a "most current record" version of the table. My append only table will be a running record of all the data I've loaded unmodified. Then I run a create table as select statement against my append only table to generate my new version of the final table. So in essence, I'm "deleting" the old version of the record by omitting it when I create my new version of the final table.
The company was only really able to do this because it was a significantly better platform than what was there before. It was amazing to be able to open Discord for the first time and everything just worked! After struggling with voice chat in Skype, ventrilo, teamspeak, and mumble for years prior, that was a huge breath of fresh air. And the easy way it handled invites and text chat was the cherry on top.

It's easy to hate on Discord's practices but it's worth remembering that they're on top because their project is legitimately good.

The short answer is it doesn't. We haven't been on the gold system for a long time, and BW was a sham, no one really did what the agreement said, there wasn't nearly enough gold to do so anyway. Breton Woods was a fictional agreement, basically. But once Nixon stopped pretending, we've been purely a floating currency like most others since.
I'm actually quite interested in what about this comment rates the label of astroturfing. Is "astroturfing" now like "gaslighting", that is a word that has lost whatever objective meaning it once had? Are all people with a financial stake in Google required to disclose that at the end of their remarks? If so, dang would have a field day banning accounts that post in Tesla threads.

As a person who is now on my 50th HN account, I find the moderation policies here capricious and arbitrary.
The whole exploit relies on the non admin user being able to run regedit.exe - every sane lockdown policy blocks the execution of this application by non-admins as a matter of course. If you are not locking regedit.exe down, then you might as well just throw all your policies out of the window.

This is very much not the case both ways. Yes, you could use DuckDuckGo instead of Google. But by the same logic you can always use some local DSL provider for your ISP. That is still a thing in most places. Of course, you will get 1.5Mbps instead of 50Mbps via Comcast, but it is not like DDG provides the same range of service as Google either.

To be fair, all that is really required for human extinction is for us to start firing our nukes. Geopolitically destabilizing events increase the potential for that considerably.

That's not in any way to say that climate change must necessarily lead to thermonuclear war or anything so dramatic as that, but human extinction is a real threat hanging over our heads at all times. It's something worth being worried about.

I've pulled a 140hr work week twice in nearly three decades of my career. Those weeks were... not sustainable.

Fortunately, I was paid hourly both times, so I was compensated, and the project did get completed.

Ok. Honestly? The first time I was quite young, working with other employees on a fun project with an insane deadline, and it was a blast. But having 4 hours to drive home, eat, sleep, shower, return? Not the greatest.

These days, I'd love to have a 4x8 (or even a 4x10, since I'm pulling 5x10 to 5x12s already).
On the other hand, if Reason were such a massive improvement to OCaml syntax, where are the people clamoring for F# to adopt more of Reason's ideas?

(Admittedly, F# already shares a couple Reason ideas like C-style comments instead of OCaml's traditional ones. So the waters are clearly muddy here to begin with, but a lot of the big things like let-binding scopes and ;; versus ; presumably would be big F# requests if Reason was so strongly superior to the inherited OCaml legacy.)

There's actually a permanent fix for this that I found on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/aavocr/after_6_mo...

I've been using it for years and have never once gotten a notification or nag screen about updates. You can still update whenever you want — no rebooting behind your back. The best part is that it's only one registry key which (ab)uses a Windows feature unrelated to Windows Update, so it's highly unlikely that they'll "fix" it any time soon.

> 2.5.2 Apps [may not] download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps.

The rule changed, I think around the time that Swift Playgrounds came out, to add:

> Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the Application completely viewable and editable by the user.

There are probably plenty of apps that do interpret downloaded code (the Frotz app to play old text adventures comes to mind) and fly under the radar. But Apple would surely be on the lookout for any kind of emulator, due to the legal risk.

It's a bit sad to read so many "I don't discuss anything illegal, so this doesn't affect me" arguments here.

That's not really how it works, and if we take history as an example, most of what you say can be used for profiling and targeting potentially. So no, the above argument misses the point, completely.

We can do better as educated folks. A good starting point to learn bout privacy would be to read -at least a bit- of Daniel J. Solove's "The Digital Person: Technology and Privacy in the Information Age". Also, learning more about history and what happened with PII (personable identifiable information) in WW2 is important.

> I understand the historical context of laws, my point was they are fundamental and we can believe them as fundamental truths.

I...don't think so? Newton's laws are not fundamental; they are consequences of deeper ideas like conservation of momentum, and they're just rough observations elaborated on by relativity. Newton's law of gravity is not fundamental, see general relativity. Ohm's law is not fundamental, it's a consequence of Maxwell's laws, which themselves are not fundamental. And so on.

> But those truths are layered

That's true! But the existence of ever-deeper layers doesn't mean that the higher-level layers aren't "more or less settled". The possible existence of a deeper truth about roundness doesn't mean that we can't tell flat-earthers they're wrong.

So too about climate science. It seems you are misinformed about science in general and climate science specifically and angry that someone with authority is telling you that you're wrong. That's a shitty feeling.
