I'm confused what this comment is saying - are you just trying to say that someone getting killed by a car is really really bad? If so, I agree.

I've never heard of "expectancy value" in my life - it's definitely not a standard probability term.
It will be a long and slow ramp. I don't expect to sit inside a restaurant or go to the movies for the rest of this year, possibly most of 2021.

Theaters were on the way out before any of this started. Movie ticket sales have been declining for years. That trend will only get worse.
No offense, but your post reads like the official propaganda channel of the Taiwan government.
But what is the real problem that women have?

I read somewhere on HN that commercial real estate is financed differently from residential real estate, and in particular, financing costs are related to what a building could earn rather than what a building does earn. If you keep rents the same but have vacancies, your funders apparently don't count that against you, while if reduce rents, suddenly the earning potential of your building has dropped and it will cost you, even if the building is actually earning more in cash flow than if it were vacant.

Seems like a bit of a misincentive here, and a recipe for lenders to go bust too. Then again, it seems like commercial real estate has periodic financial crises, so this seems to reflect reality. Get ready for the next one.
If you completely ignore the cost of living - yes, San Francisco offers way more.

Practically - the compensation offered is on par with your expenses, between US and Europe. Some places in Europe are better than others, but same goes for US.

Booking.com in Amsterdam offered me as much as I get in NYC right now.
What technology would you bet your business on then?

Today, you can write numpy code, and that runs on pretty much all CPUs from all vendors, with different levels of quality.

A one line change allows you to run all numpy code you write on nvidia GPUs, which at least today, are probably the only GPUs you want to buy anyways.

In practice, you would probably be also running your whole software stack on CPUs, at least for debugging purposes. So if you change your mind about using nvidia hardware at some point, you can just revert that one line change and go back to exclusively targeting CPUs. Or who knows, maybe some other GPU vendors might provide their numpy implementation by then, and you can just go from CuPy to ROCmPy or similar.

Either way, if you are building a numpy stack today, I don't see what you lose today from using CuPy when running your products on hardware for which that's available.
This is way less of a problem than you'd think, as long as the default "best" sort is used. Also, I don't think age is taken in to account on reddit, are you thinking of this site instead?

https://redditblog.com/2009/10/15/reddits-new-comment-sortin...

As someone who browses both reddit and hacker news (obviously), I'm regularly frustrated by the way this site hijacks your attention to ask you to judge some recent comment, rather than showing you the ones worth reading at the top. It's still never going to get enough votes to keep that position, and it makes more sense to ask people who've scrolled to the bottom to judge comments with few votes, once they've already read the current frontrunners.

When you see big subs with old comments with a lot of votes at the top on reddit, it's probably because there's nothing else worth showing towards the bottom. I scroll further than I probably should, and the more the subreddit appears to have the early-replier problem, the less I care how those comments are ordered.
What is interesting though, computer hardware from 2007 did not depreciate as much and probably would still be usable in 2030. I mean, I am sure you will be able to install Linux Mint or similar, and still use it.

> It highlights the extremely neglected costs in raw material and non-electrifiable infrastructure that is required to produce materials that are nominally 'green'.

Ignored by whom? You?

In fact, embedded energy is a huge consideration in the evaluation of green technologies.
why not just say I’m going to put my current efforts and focus on X as you clearly meant.

That is literally what they said, using a colloquialism that has exactly the desired meaning.
My strategy for the past couple of years has been using RES [1] to browse /r/all, filter out everything I consider a waste of time (irrelevant, toxic, or just dumb) and subscribe to the few subreddits that caught my eye. This has had limited success - it's a lot of work, but it did surface some gems. I'm sorry to say it's literally like panning for gold.

Speechless? Where I live we have full size public buses that are frequently only carrying one or two people. In fact if I had a nickle for every time I've seen a completely empty light rail train in the middle of the day in Denver, I'd be a rich man by now. Public transport in the vast majority of the US is a failure. In Colorado Uber and Lyft probably haul 10-100 times more people every day than ride our public transportation, that's not efficient at all. The main complaint people have is public transportation doesn't run often enough, or provide enough routes, self driving vehicles could fix that and make it economic for US cities. If you had smaller buses (sometimes called vans) you could run them more often and thus make them more appealing to the masses. Is it less efficient, yes, but if it gains more riders that's a net gain IMO.
In the big picture, you could say that fossil fuels are a stopgap technology (with complex manufacturing and lots of parts needing maintenance) until engineers invent(ed) better/cheaper batteries. But the way I prefer to see it is that solar is helping the transition to 100% renewable energy.

Another way to see it is that we already have an electric grid, so we are just finding ways to provide electric power cheaper--then the "efficient market" will figure things out. Also, electricity is used directly in manufacturing, for example smelting aluminum, and that is often done with renewable electricity (hydro in the US Pacific Northwest, geothermal in Iceland). Trains in many parts of the world run on electric power, and of course you can charge EVs with solar power or other renewable energy. And I'm sure some ICE cars are manufactured with electric-powered tools that run on solar energy during the day.

PS: if you know your tone is off, why not ask in a different tone?

My question to most people on this forum are: would you really be ok if your daughter was best friends with a sex worker? Everybody says "of course!" in theory... but in reality I think it falls apart. Lots of blurred moral lines.
Yes. Nuclear energy proponents sometime seem to forget that solar energy is effectively thermonuclear energy from a big free source reactor - the question isn't in having that reactor, or running it, the question is just in catching energy it radiates. Solar guys become increasingly good at that - together with wind guys, who employ that energy after another free conversion into moving air.
for the first time in a long time both party agree on this. i believed this is the U.S. failure for believing in China. U.S. bring China into WTO, open up trade and hollow out Midwest. what American get in return is Emperor Xi. CCP is not going to change and Xi already have more powers consolidated into him than any other previous CCP leader even Mao.

American's dream for a open and democratic China is long dead.
I’m kind of surprised that this research wasn’t already done decades ago.

I just assumed the placement and positioning of turbines within a cluster was already subject to rigorous modelling, seeing as these turbines are huge and likely very expensive

Solar all day, NG all night would be a major improvement over our current system. Especially as batteries get better.

You're already subsidizing them by driving to the office, unless they are paying for your car, gas, and time.

By working at home, I'm saving time and money. I'm happy to take the increased responsibility of creating a workable space. Most people end up doing that anyway and call it a workshop/sewing room/etc.
> there’s plenty of languages out there that developers can be just as productive with

There aren't that plenty really. Golang has nothing like Rails, neither does Node. You can say Django / Laravel but then it's the same performance issues.
Or maybe you're talking good old enterprise software like Spring / Asp. I don't think Ruby/Rails should feel inferior to any of those names for web development.
I don’t think this is accurate at all.

I'm surprised and disappointed with myself for expecting more. Selling nudes is great... Until it isn't.
Having to ship the raw material halfway across the world. More stringent environmental protections--fabs generate many tons of hazardous waste. Higher healthcare costs for the workers. Plus they use lots of water which is more expensive in Arizona.
> It's a little strange to use the phrases "tend to" and "iron law" in the same sentence.

Not really. Tendency denotes a general inclination, such as objects tending to move toward the centre of mass. Tectonic plates tend to shift slowly. In both cases these are very solid and reliable predictions which are almost certainly true in a vast majority of cases.

I would not agree with the statement vis-a-vis luxury items and necessity (fur coats, diamond rings, harems, are not demanded by all), but there is a tendency for certain classes of items to be considered "essential" over time.

I mean, it doesn't take more than a model where the same area of landmass anywhere on the globe has the same chance of birhting a civilization with a need for clocks, for the northern hemisphere to become the most likely candidate to do so simply by virtue of having much more landmass than the southern hemisphere.

It's not easier to ask forgiveness than permission - asking permission is free but having to 'ask forgiveness' under GDPR if you've intentionally not asked permission may involve fines up to 4% of annual global turnover which comes out to something like 6 billion dollars for google.
Does the normalization of women getting rich and living lavish, bourgeoise lifestyles from selling their bodies help or hurt the perception of women?

Even before OnlyFans blew up, people(both men and women) already looked down on women who did sex work for a living. What do you think happens from here when every girl and their grandmother's has an OnlyFans? That's something every guy will probably be thinking about now when they are considering a girl to date. That is now something for employers to consider when hiring a woman. I'm not saying that's okay either, by the way. I'm just suggesting that that's what will happen.

I'm not calling for a ban on sex work anyhow. Never did. I'm only voicing my concerns.
Interesting. I drew mouse and then cat and it did not recognize either. Then I drew them again. The image looked the same but the parts were drawn in different order. That was enough for AI to suddenly recognize both images
Because, although it oughtn't, the culture that way of thinking produces some of the worst code because it's more difficult to quantify the direct value of a lot of the work that goes into good software engineering.

Security ends up just being a cost, nobody bothers to actually quantify the risk because nobody really knows. This leads down the path of "the only security that's quantifiable are my legal requirements."

You can't know the productivity gains/losses from a refactor until long after you've done it.

You can't know how productive different ecosystems are until long after your team adopted them. Your only measuring stick is how excited your devs are to use it. What's productive for one team might not be for another.

Nobody quantifies acquiring tech debt so it piles up while people "deliver" and the productivity losses come so gradually from it that teams don't even realize they've slowed down because their velocity says constant it's just that cards gradually get more difficult.

Performance becomes a cost because there's a huge grey area (Jira) between "so slow I consider it down" and "general annoyance that slowly nudges me away from the product." Unless you're planet scale or whatever your sample size isn't big enough to notice these things.

This way of thinking creates feature factories.

I agree 100% that we can do better than being totally disconnected from the business but this ends up being so much worse.
Honestly, I don't like the trend of web apps for everything, and I'd be ok if web pages couldn't really be more than toy programs. However, at that point, why even bother with WASM? I mean what is that even for if you're not doing real computation on real data sets? Real data sets are bigger than 2 billion sometimes...
I disagree. It was impossible for me to just learn words, because kanji made no sense to me.

After RTK, I created ways to mentally breakdown and identify the characters. Then, suddenly, I was able to learn words much faster too - instead of struggling with “well this one has this curve here and then it points there and it means that”, reading became automatic, and I could focus on the word itself.
This sounds like most careers, though. Except for the sensational language, how is this different than agism in the software industry, or folks who never become managers? In my (limited) experience, most people don’t climb the ranks or get major pay increases, especially during a pandemic like this.
They should get as many as they can. It's not good to have only the west, or only china, or only russia controlling their internet access points. If they play this right, I'm sure china and the west will literally drown them in bandwidth.

I can't find this in my cloud console. The info pages are all pushing the "Contact a sales rep" button. It's not clear whether all the pricing info is included yet.

They lists one possible node at $10/hour ($7200/mo) before contract length discounts:

> CPU: 2.6 GHz (3.9 GHz Turbo) x2, 36 cores/72 hyperthreads

> Memory: 768 GB

> Data: 19.2 TB NVMe

> Cache: 3.2 TB NVMe

I could already import VMDK's to run in GCE. Obviously this is not intended for that, but rather to provide vSphere/vCenter/ESXi in the cloud. Where I've used these in the past (for relatively low-tech IIoT work), I'd often "pull" the VM's off the on-prem server and run 4-12 VM's on my laptop to simulate and configure machines for chemical plants. If I was in the office, I could RDP into the machines running on the on-prem server and would be able to enjoy a high performing desktop environment. Obviously as I was in the same building as the vSphere/ESXi host, latency was very low.

I've had significant issues with latency in the past trying to use RDP/VNC/etc from Houston to any of GCP's datacenters and wonder if that would affect quality of service for this offering. Will a lot of users be remoting into these VM's to use boxes running Windows/GUI/etc? Or is this a very different use case?

We have that technology for decades - for example, Tu-155 flew on hydrogen in 1988 - and we gradually replace existing usage with more and more clean options. Don't worry - we won't turn off pollutions overnight, but will gradually drive them to zero. And then to net negative values, restoring some losses in the environment.

This tells me that until fossil plants are mostly shut down (and perhaps afterward), we will continue to have negative electricity prices at times. It might be a profitable idea to buy extra energy storage capacity to get paid for storing energy at certain times, then sell it when it is high demand.

No idea of the business your in but remote work is not working for many sales people or client services and many others that need to deal with external customers.

If those who keep the sales and contracts coming in want offices then ceo's will ensure they get them.

Offices will become smaller and more regional but they will exist.

Over the years via osmosis I have learnt so much by overhearing colleagues talking. I met people I would not normally as not quite my line of business or typically we are both just cc'ed in emails. These have become contacts, friends, allies and others simply provided opportunities or put in a good word for me.

I can choose where I work and have pre Covid era worked a lot at home due to projects I had on. But was planing a lot more time in the office this year as I knew I needed to ensure I mixed more.

Chatting with very senior managers, directors and ceo's simply won't happen if remote. But does when your both some of the only people in a quiet satellite office.

No need to brown nose but being more than a name on a chart helps.

Everyone is working very effectively at the moment as in most places there is with lockdown little else distraction wise and many focused on ensuring they stay employed.

In fact for many employees I think the moment they don't have to take a video con call which runs on as the client knows they have no commute and little else to do. Many people will be happy.

Some companies and departments will go remote and thrive in the long-term and others will once things settle find they need many staff back in an office.
The speed of that eraser is irritating.
The raw material costs of producing and manufacturing windturbines has not been significantly reduced. You still need mostly as much stuff now to make one as you needed years ago, and the same goes for the transport of everything that goes into the turbine, because the energy density of electrical sources isn't high enough to say, power a containership.

You can't just wave away legitimate criticism by talking about "rapid innovation" that does not exist, mostly because it runs into physical limits.
I don't think women have any real barrier in getting jobs nowdays, in fact, I think we are at a time where women are more advantaged than men. They graduate college in greater numbers, the dating market is easy (endless validation on dating apps and social networks), and since in general they aren't held up to the standards that men are they can play it both ways and win - either don't work hard and find a "rich" husband, or work hard and stay single while enjoying easy sex from dating apps.

A man, on the other hand, has to work hard and earn a good living, otherwise he's a "loser", he also has to have social calibration and be able to be interesting and good looking to find a decent looking woman.
> Always define the API first

Impossible. What will the API serve? A list of horses? Wouldn't work if the user needs a mortgage calculator. There is no choice but to define the front-end first. The question is whether it's defined nebulously or with thought - it's rare for thoughtlessness to be the optimal strategy.
Once again, that is just your opinion, presented as fact. Personally I would argue that people acting rationally stay away from the terrorism business.
