You are conflating different issues here. Income equality is not actually due to free markets. Monopolies in free markets do emerge but in the socialist system (defined as government providing services in return of taxes other than infrastructure, defense and health+education safety nets) the government is defacto army-enforced monopoly. And yes, no system is perfect.

You have perhaps not heard about how governments all over the world have enriched themselves by monopolizing everything from entire industries, natural resources to sports teams while promising better services to the public (spoiler: didn't work out for vast majority except for Norway). You have perhaps also never been involved in government grants and contracts to see first hand how extraordinarily inefficient, bureaucratic, slow, irresponsive, unmaliable, frustrating, insensitive and far behind the time these entities are top to the bottom.

To anyone dreaming of a socialist system as salvation, I would highly recommend taking up a year or two of a government job to see how it actually functions and what are your chances to improve it even a tiny little bit.
I love Chromecast for myself but it's tough to let my 5 year old control what show to watch - at least without handing him a laptop or iPad which isn't ideal!
> Then there's Geforce Now. Their system is simply awesome, with similar tech but two key advantages. First, you can use any controller, which is a big win.

You can use "any" controller on Stadia too (I'm assuming by any you meant the popular consoles controller):
https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9578631?hl=en

There's a common misconception that because Stadia has its own controller and because playing Stadia through Chromecast requires that controller (because Chromecast has no Bluetooth so the only way to connect would be something like a wifi controller like the Stadia Controller) that you cannot use other controllers to play Stadia, that's incorrect.
Actually you’re right, they don’t do Iran.
I have Stadia! Here are a few impressions:

1. The game catalog is totally the most important thing and they don't have any really big games. I'm not a Fortnite person, but they don't have that, nor Apex, nor PUBG. Battle Royale may not be the biggest thing in gaming anymore, but this is the type of game that at least a lot of people enjoy and they have none on the platform.

2. They sold Stadia as being able to achieve higher quality than local hardware at a fraction of the cost. Yet it's been shown multiple times that the games running on Stadia are running at less than promised quality, with techniques like upscaling being used for 4K instead of native 4K: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/11/google-addresses-comp....

3. As a person who wants to play with a keyboard and a mouse on a computer, I get really frustrated that the Stadia output resolution is fixed. You can't output 1440p to a monitor at all, and 4K is only available if you have a Chromecast. Why?

I've also tried Shadow and GeForce now. Shadow is easily the best in terms of quality, because you can run at arbitrary resolutions and pump the bandwidth up to a max of 70Mbps down, which is astoundingly good looking compared to what Stadia offers. GeForce Now is great too, but point 3 applies to it: you can't run at non-preset resolutions, which really stinks if you have a bigger monitor with a higher native resolution. However, both Shadow and GeForce Now leverage existing game libraries, look better, and are generally more approachable than Stadia's "rebuy everything, run at lower quality, and lack significant features" plan.
Oh, don't get me wrong. The U.S. totally botched this, and it seems like it has had one of the worst responses of countries I've followed closely.

Honestly, the source code of the examples looks rather complicated, like something that should better be generated from a nicer high-level language that has a native actor concept. (Obviously, the power of C++ templates does not come for free - you pay with noisy code and increased cognitive load.)

My feeling is that most women would like to normalize "I identify with girly things because I'm a girl and I'm sick to death of being required to neutralize my language -- which often means make it male coded -- to be seen as serious and professional."

I'm 54 years old. I'm not as pretty as I used to be. I spent years believing I was sexually harassed because I was beautiful and feeling trapped because society also signals that being beautiful is required for a woman to be allowed to set foot outside.

I keep waiting to be old and ugly enough for men to take me seriously and stop acting like my gender and whether or not they would hit that is the entire question in their mind for how to relate to me. I've concluded that just being female is all it takes for far too many men to act like I'm nothing but a sex object. That beauty thing was straight up a lie I was being told.

She likely wants her more personal blog posts to remain available as support for others like her and an education opportunity for others. But it potentially goes bad places to focus on that element on an overwhelmingly male forum that normally talks about tech. Women are routinely enraged when their coding work or other work is essentially ignored so people can focus on her gender, how pretty she is, etc.

I spoke up initially to try to suggest "She's probably just a girl sick to death of being told she needs to actively hide her gender and went with a name she identifies with and it would be nice if the world didn't make a big fucking deal out of that."

That's perhaps putting out the fire with gasoline and just directing more attention to the detail of her gender. Unfortunately, I don't know enough code to talk about that and try to give that more focus.

On the upside, at least this conversation is happening at the bottom of the page and isn't at the top.
> “ that it is prudent to also consider the inevitable increase in prices that will accompany some of those actions. If you are comfortable with the higher prices, fine.”

I addressed this in my original comment above. These risks must be borne by shareholders and executives and not passed on to customers or employees.

Price increases to maintain the same level of profitability is inherently predatory. Rather, it’s simply a cost of doing business borne by the corporation and its shareholders. Airline prices are not higher in response to the airlines bearing the cost of cancellation risks. Instead, airline profits taken by executive bonuses, equity, c-suite perks, and shareholder returns are just lower, while prices, wages and benefits remain the same. Any other outcome where the corporation tries to deflect its responsibility to bear that cost without impacting consumers or employees is immoral predatory behavior that must become illegal, like lobbying, deceptive pricing, price gouging, extensive contractual fine print that consumers are not equipped to read or understand, offering consumers tiers of lower pricing that does not include necessary protections, layoffs or benefit cuts to preserve executive compensation hundreds of multiples above average employees, etc.

If this causes a business to fold, it only means they did not have a viable business. Consumers don’t want the product. Figure out how to bear the cost of these risks or else you haven’t got a business.
It's like protests is meant to cause a disruption.

I really have a terrible place in my heart for people who criticize protests because it caused a disruption.

That's the point of a protest.

I'm very happy for you that you've never felt the need to take these drastic steps, but they're protesting real issues and real problems they're having. The grades are ultimately the universities problem
Nearly all colleges are not locked to a single vendor - CompTIA, Cisco, EC-Counsil, LPI, Red Hat, etc. are taught equally. The point I was hoping to convey earlier was that Microsoft is now going to disappear from that vendor and organization list.

Wow... you're really epitomizing the notion of 1st World problems here.

If you're really that moved (and you really shouldn't be surprised after the Foxconn reveal), get a Pinebook and start playing with Linux Mint and go from there. Support Open hardware and Open source software on the side while still working with your old hardware until you realize that at this point the Linux ecosystem and its various distros can do just about everything Windows and Mac could, this isn't the 90s anymore.

I will say, though that if you do video editing that can be a hard one as even I still revert back to a Windows box for that, unfortunately. And I went all-in on Linux after XP in 2004ish.

You laugh but, several years ago in the second floor of Red Rock in Mountain View, I saw a guy do that very thing.

He brought in his laptop, and the box containing whatever giagantic Apple monitor he had, and proceeded to hook it up.

I'm curious why requests per watt is an important metric?

Are you running up against some sort of heat limit or optimizing for electricity cost?

Seems like requests per amortized dollar all in would make more sense. Or requests per cubic foot of data center space if that is your limitation.
What are you good at? If you are doing a PhD you must be good at something you can sell. You are at least smart enough to learn something and sell it.

The world and the market is full of opportunities. Yesterday I learned you can buy a trash car for 900 dollars, gut it and sell all the parts for 3 or 4K. That’s pretty decent profit for a job that only requires patience and a minimal number of tools.
I'm working remotely for a month right now and needed a monitor there to work. I had two ideas:

1. bring one in a suitcase on my flight

2. just buy one locally once I got there

I decided to just bring my existing 27" monitor and wait until the day of my flight to try and pack it... Of course it was about 2 inches too long for a standard large suitcase.

I quickly found a (physical) store which sold a cheap 23" Dell monitor and bought it. It easily fit into the suitcase and I've been happily using it for 3 weeks now. Only downside was going back to 1080p :(

Sorry, but he has a perfectly valid point. Defining the relevant market is The problem in antitrust / competition policy. He deducted that from the formula. That's astute.

If you fail to define the relevant market, you fail to spot the failing market. This goes both ways. Sometimes products that are not even that similar work as substitutes preventing the exercise of market power (say red bull and coke). Other times market power in one narrow product group can work as a stepping stone for extending market power over various markets (say, the way a firm like Proctor and Gamble operates).

Seems you ignored half the sentence, so I'll repeat with emphasis: HN has a large Chinese user-base __who will be quick to downvote and flag threads and comments critical of China__.

Heck, it could be one guy who has 1-50 high karma accounts that do all the downvoting and flagging. He can then monitor https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments for threads/comments containing certain keywords to get a notification.

There's no denying that the downvoting and flagging is taking place because you can see the same pattern in all threads that are negative towards China. Dang himself also have a history of knocking threads critical of China off the frontpage.

Joe uses Docker and ZFS (or LVM+ext4, alternatively) on a separate machine, where data is transferred, normally, from archives (optionally, being transferred constantly, if there is a small Postgres "sync" server with "restore_command" configured), stored on ZFS, periodically snapshotted and prepared (and at this point, we can anonymize it, see https://gitlab.com/postgres-ai/database-lab/-/blob/master/sc...), and snapshotted again. Such snapshots of prepared PGDATA can be done periodically. And from there, we do thin provisioning, in a few seconds.

All this happens on a fully separated machine, not affecting production nodes by any means.
If Google is going to succeed it is going to do so by bringing tons of new people into video gaming who didn't have experience with the native hardware.

With its added latency, vendor lock-in and Google-related privacy pitfalls, Stadia wasn't attractive enough for existing PC and Console gamers to switch in mass.

You just need one suitcase per monitor. The yoga mat isn't going to keep blunt pressure off the screen though. You need to attach something structural to the front to distribute load to the bezel. The corrigated plastic used for yard signs is light, cheap, and surprisingly strong. Bubble wrap that and wrap it in your clothes.

That said, nothing beats the custom molded styrofoam it came in. Keep these if you can.
This is one of my problems regarding advertising. Turns out for most good products you'd either already have them or would hear about them from word of mouth or by searching online, so they don't need significant advertising anymore. Which means the only ads left go to garbage products.

Depending on the server build and your physical strength you'll have a lot of trouble lifting it there.

Without them it's still heavy enough and a pain to move around, but then I'm more on the nerdy end of the STR scale ;-)

How far do you sit from the TV? How near or far is comfortable compared to a monitor that fits on your desk. I'm contemplating a similar setup.
David Epstein's Range talks a lot about this issue. He mentions the idea of 'kind' and 'unkind' learning environments. He uses golf and Tiger Woods as a 'kind' learning environment. To be a great golf player, you pretty much just have to grind out the hours and work hard at it. The better players have simply just spent more time grinding away. Epstein then uses tennis and Federer as an 'unkind' learning environment. Federer did a lot of other sports and has many other interests than tennis, and other successful players are similar. Using tricks from a variety of sports and arenas is better. Epstein spends the rest of the book talking about other areas like music, testing, and business and compares generalists to specializers, demonstrating that generalists end up better off in unkind learning environments. The now infamous USAF academy testing screw-up is of particular interest here. As most of life is an unkind learning environment, generalists may be better off than specialists over the long haul. Hence, things like a liberal arts education being so powerful and the paradox of the 'well-rounded vs. spiky' person in long term success.
