Because AMD is a company with a long history of making crappy processors, that only recently created a decent one, by lucky coincidence. Intel is exactly the opposite.

Even now Intel architecture is still superior in some areas, the biggest downside of it being the fact that they are stuck on the outdated 14nm++++ process.

Once the Intel's 7nm comes out there will be no reason to buy AMD, except for the price (I expect Intel's 7nm process to be roughly equivalent, or even superior to TSCM's 5nm)
Just keep at it. If you really learn quickly, then in a year or two you'll know enough for that to make any difference to a potential employer. Just continue what you're doing, write code, build projects, look out for opportunities to build your personal brand, but above all else, continue to learn. You'll see that, as the saying (Japanese, I think) goes, "even the top has a top" - what you consider a large amount of knowledge today will seem like a drop in a bucket in a year, not to mention in two. By 2025 you'll be, for better or worse, spammed by recruiters on Linkedin just like the rest of us.

You can expand your knowledge and hone your skills practically without limits, and there's no reason to stop just because you're out of school/landed a job. Most good developers never stop, and have been doing this for their whole careers, some for decades - while you've been at it for a year. I don't want to discourage you - it's a good start, but it's just a start.
I'd definitely recommend against buying second hand GPU from crypto miners. They have been worn out running 24/7 for years.

If it's selling for $30 I don't say, but I've seen them going for a fair bit of the original price.
> without any sort of nuance

I think this accusation is equally applicable for politicians though. There has been precious little nuance in blanket lockdowns that don’t acknowledge how vastly different in risk different activities are (e.g. sunbathing in a park vs clubbing). Seems to me like the shouts of “OPEN UP!” are simply a response to the knee-jerk “SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING!” that everyone has had to live with for the last few months.
Well that’s where management steps in and doesn’t let you disregard the deadline. It makes for a miserable work experience but you can probably achieve a lot that way.

Does not go nearly far enough. The FISA needs to be scrapped unless they figure out a way to have actual accountability and prevent misuse.
This is a wild, myopic, borderline tinfoil hat opinion.

The government didn't decide to 'stop the economy', they decided to order shelter in place in the face of an exponentially growing pandemic. In March, the number of cases was doubling every two days in the US.

And it's especially weird to see you throw stones at the Chinese Government over their inability to stop the spread of this pandemic when many, many governments around the world are also struggling to stop its spread. I'm not a fan of the CCP, and they definitely made mistakes, but I don't think there's a leg to stand on that they could have just 'prevented the outbreak'.
I can't think of a decent alternative, for learning khan academy is good. Sounds like a source for disruption :)
PeerTube is one alternative that is recommended.
The sentiment is: You are paying a mortgage for a house you don't get to use or rent out. You have a couple thousand dollars coming out of your pocket every month that is eating away at the small bit of money you made on that house. There is no guarantee that you will get that money back.

Pretty much the point is that being a landlord isn't a free ride. Often you need to put in a lot of work and you take a big risk investing in a house that can be destroyed or made worthless by factors completely outside your control.

We also need testing to know when people are actually healthy, and not healthy-looking.
git has some robustness problem over slow, fragile connections, though. It will not corrupt data, but if your connection cannot stay up long enough to clone an entire repo, you need to resort to ugly workarounds.
Urgency and scarcity also encourage folks to find solutions that they wouldn’t otherwise search for if they could just wait for the status quo approach.

The flip side to doing things that don’t scale is that once those practices become a standard part of your operations you are forced to figure out how to scale them. This causes you to find the scalability hell or high water whereas if you didn’t do the thing in the first place you never would have invented the scalability.
I agree, instead of targeted support for parents we should just give everyone the same basic standard of living so they can choose to support themselves independently if they choose to procreate.

Edit: I can understand the notion that some want to maximise their time away from their employer, but the idea that birthing and caring for a baby is time off work is somewhat naive :)
You might want the second generator to be deterministic. Consider a fuzzing testcase that generates randomized inputs. When a failure is hit the seed is recorded and someone can reproduce it for debugging.

Golly, what a dumb post. I'm pretty sure it's not the job of the C++ standard to force all RNG implementations to be the same.
> I have seen some time up precisely their pregnancies to maximize time off work, but still getting paid 100%. Others getting pregnancy leave while planning to resign the day they have to come back to work, sucking up all that their employer has to give and then leaving him.

I think you're being pedantic; the entire tone of @thefz's comment is that employees time their pregnancies to maximize time off work and effectively screw over their employer
I think if the set of people who play Hearthstone/Overwatch and the set people who watch the NBA can both get riled up about the same issue it's spread well beyond the tech community. Eventually YouTube will have to start caring.
>A strike causes change when management can't hire enough workers to replace the strikers. My entire point is that they can.

[citation needed]

I don't believe that if a majority of Google's software engineers went on strike that Google would be able to hire and train new employees without any of the striker's domain-specific or institutional knowledge without enormous expense.
Layoffs are generally positive for stock prices. The bad news causing the layoffs are priced in, and the layoffs mitigate some of that.
It wasn't an analogy, it was a single point that disproved the prior (my motivation is fear of ideas) as well as the solution (curated internet).

I vehemently disagree with the assumption that the act of whistleblowing transforms one into public figure.

edit: A better analogy would be a recipe for crack cocaine. I have 0 use for that knowledge, and I definitely won't spread it because at best, my audience will have no use for it either, or at worst, they'll act on it and I'll likely find their actions disagreeable. If I find a link that says "How to make crack in 10 steps", I won't click it. I won't appreciate it if someone randomly injects crack-cooking instructions in a discussion about baking soda or sodium perchlorate or whatever might be one of the ingredients.
Yes, that's definitely on our road map. Think it would be super interesting to see links between stock holdings and legislation (as well as data on lobbying)
You're subsidizing the replenishing of the population of the country. You're subsidizing the creation of new people to be your friends, customers, colleagues. You're subsidizing the people who will become cops to protect you, or nurses to take care of you, or engineers who will create new tech and maybe keep you alive a little longer.

It is really astonishing to see this comment again and again on this thread. New human beings are necessary.
No. The great opening of the Internet brought points of view onto the internet at scales that hitherto were unknown. There are so many asshats on the Internet that old tactics of manual moderation do not work anymore. Doing nothing is a pathetic excuse for a solution.
Most people don't buy new processors every year, and pre-built machines (especially laptops) are slower to switch from Intel. Slow adaptation is part product lifecycle (laptop lead time is on the order of a year) and part customer demand: Non-enthusiasts consumers still want their i7, and businesses will often have requirements for Intel specifically, and will have to work to change that, if anyone internal even cares to.
There is the MacArthur Foundation with its "Genius Award." Richard Stallman was one of the Fellows in its 1990 class. If I recall correctly, the award was for $100K a year for 5 years, no strings attached.

This is the perennial discussion on HN as HN'ers get popularity confused with monopoly. I get the anti-Google sentiment but outside of the Play services agreements that Google got dinged for with Android manufacturers, they're not being anti-competitive.

If Google were to block search results to DuckDuckGo for example, that would be monopolistic and warrant antitrust action. As it is now, Google isn't blocking competition, consumers are choosing to use Google despite the privacy-oriented preferences here on HN.
To some, that's hate speech. The argument is being made by others. Don't correct me for pointing it out.
>just to play devil's advocate: this day and age, is there anything better they could've invested in?

I mean, biotech, clean energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals or anything else that's risky but at least you have huge upside in case something succeeds?

Or alternatively take the money to emergent markets and fund startups in Africa, at least there you have some huge potential for growth even if the products are boring.
It has largely been within that consensus range at the low end: "579 and 2,292"; but that's splitting hairs, since the low end is not an increasing count.

With that said, my own reading prior to this point has suggested we'd see the uptick starting in this coming week, through the next two weeks.
> so they pay taxes to then fund the leave of another parent

> who is also staying at home, but used to work?

You can extend that argument to any benefit provided by a government. I'm sure there are (many) benefits you (and I) receive that are in part funded by those who receive no direct benefit from it. We are all interdependent and interconnected in many ways.
Pair that with some discord, vs code and chrome and all of a sudden my 16gb is getting maxed semi regularly

I find the terms "less and more" applied to ethical confusing. Telling a company to harm people a little instead of a lot is enabling.

My use of ethical here is strongly tied to obligation. e.g., it is kind to give money to a person, but not unethical if you chose not to especially if you can't afford to.

The way I understand you is that it's kinder/more sympathetic to provide a greater severance. This part I agree with!

Severance is not free, though. Increasing it will either cost Uber more heads or greater risk (and more heads later). I'm repeating this question: Is this not unethical to the retained employees?

The fact that an SMS costs money is a feature. That way people will think twice before they SMS you. Free communications is only great if you have infinite time to communicate, as the cost of a bit approaches zero the quantity of bits goes up considerably. Things that before would have been fine to save up until you meet again now need to be sent instantly, and need to receive an instant response as well otherwise there will be a bunch of 'did you get my message' messages to follow up on the first one.

I prefer a slight barrier before I'm interrupted and don't mind paying the cost of sending a message. On top of that I don't like non-regulated foreign companies looking over my shoulder. That this is a non-standard pattern I'm well aware of but it suits me just fine.
Chicago is Tier 3? That doesn't seem right.
I think you are underestimating the convenience of oil relative to other forms of energy. Also, Saudi Arabia has a mostly functioning government, which is not really true of most African countries and Saudi Arabia is one of the lowest cost producers. Maybe some African countries can compete on price, but not until they increase their engineering capacity and reduce corruption.

Edit: Even if the world does go all in on electric vehicles, you still have to mine all the metals that go into their motors and batteries. That is going to be a huge shock to the mining industry. Probably on a level to the commodity supercycle that China's growth caused. I don't see any way that metals production can be ramped up heavily without an increase in oil demand.
People want free money. If the system allows them to get money and inconvenience their employer or do neither they will overwhelmingly do it. I can’t be the only person to note that teachers are much more likely to have children during the school year than over the summer.
共匪 is a solely political term, communism is an ideology. The CCP's propaganda mouthpieces can call it hate speech until the cows come home, but even if you believe that hate speech is a thing, there is no consistent definition of hate speech that would include 共匪 but not "colonialist bandits" or "imperialist bandits".

中共/中國共產黨 is a political party like Hamas/PA or Likud or the U.S. Democratic party; and 共匪 is no more hate speech than "repuglican" or "libtard".
> No, most of the landlords were of British descent.

So landlords of British descent can't be considered Irish? Even if their families had been present in Ireland for several centuries?

> To say they could do nothing because

Excuse me, where did I say they couldn't do anything? I was only trying to put some context on the original comment, but it seems people are more interested in being outraged.
It's not on working conditions, but the phenomenon itself: "The 9.9 Percent Is the New American Aristocracy", https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/06/the-bir...

Daniel Markovits, a Yale Law School professor, has a recent book, "The Meritocracy Trap" that goes into your last paragraph. I heard about it on an interview with Ezra Klein (https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/vox/the-ezra-klein-show/e/6...), and Vox has a good summary of it (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/10/24/20919030/...), with a section that is very similar to what you wrote:

> In order to win this competition, elites are forced to exploit their own talents and abilities. They spend their lives acquiring the degrees, skills, attitudes, and habits (i.e. “human capital”) that makes them valuable to elite educational institutions and employers. In doing so, elites, Markovits writes, transform themselves into “asset manager[s] whose portfolio contains [their] own persons.” This process damages the very identity of its participants.

> > [Elites] become constituted by their achievements, so that eliteness goes from being something that a person enjoys to being everything that he is. In a mature meritocracy, schools and jobs dominate elite life so immersively that they leave no self apart from status.

> In short, elites are shuttled into a life-long, endless competition that not only consumes their life quantitatively but qualitatively as well, leaving no room for self-expression, actualization, or discovery — only self-exploitation, value extraction, and endless anxiety.
Hrm... I wonder if they use a feed-foward control taking into account the angle of the dangle?
I hope they bring in some of the people that made Halt and Catch Fire work so well. The Romero id Software years were filled with just enough drama and chaos to make it work.
In case anybody is interesting,
over the last month I used socat as a simple way to transfer serial over IP. Here you can see the "sending" part https://novamostra.com/2020/05/15/rasperry-pi-as-a-usb-gadge... and here https://novamostra.com/2020/05/15/rasperry-pi-as-a-usb-gadge... you can see how you can redirect input from a remote serial device or the local UART port of a Raspberry PI to the Gadget port using socat.
And democracy's legitamacy is derived from monkeys voting in a system rigged against them, after listening to false promises of growth. While still supporting cheap, often exploitative labor.

I mean, from your description, I'd rather want a system that actually shows continued growth, rather than hollowed promises of growth.

Let's be honest here, democracy's real growth had been going to war with nations and extracting/exploiting resources from them. Hence why the past 50 years, there has been no real growth in democratic countries because they are not able to as easily extract from the rest of the world.
Here is your comment:

>First of all, an ID doesn't need to have anything to do with citizenship

Here is the comment further up that this comment is in the context of:

>It amazes me that there is no authentication provided by governments in the US to citizens.

Do you see why we are talking about citizenship now? Especially when much of the discussion is revolving around voting as well, which does require a certain citizenship status.

The 579/day estimate is the low end of the 90% confidence interval. You can use the 7-day rolling average the NYT provides to eliminate the swings from reporting variance. Of course, the apocalypse will always be two weeks away.
I didn't check the link, but keep in mind he worked for Oculus, which was acquired by Facebook. Not sure it was a requirement from Facebook, but was probably some choice around that.
To be honest, I think that many, if not most, of israeli and diaspors Jews (and quite a lot of religious, too) would be banned from YouTube for antisemitism if they voiced their opinions on Hasidim there.
Interesting. AMD dominates the entire top 10 of that list.
I don’t consider that likely. There are many Chinese social media properties inside the Great Firewall but they haven’t ever had much success outside of it.

Think about it, if a Chinese social media site could outcompete YouTube, they would just do it already anyway. If they can’t, they have to either block YouTube and have a Chinese clone propped up by an effectively protectionist policy or else try and get YouTube to cooperate with them.
They could have saved a lot more by not doing so many stupid investments.

> I think early-stage VC’s should take a Keynesian approach and should invest more heavily in recessed periods.

Why would they do this? They're not a charity. They'll only invest more if they think there's more returns to be had.

> With 35+ million Americans unemployed there are more founders available than probably ever before.

That may be the case, but VCs much prefer to bet on previously successful entrepreneurs, sometimes on their new project sight unseen. The amount of unemployed bartenders or airline employees getting VC money will be very low.
Well, there's always the web. PWAs are well-supported on Android, and require nobody's permission.
Paid maternity leave isn't supposed to be a "Congrats on your new baby" present, it is so women don't need to choose between their or their child's health and getting back to work ASAP.

So, it doesn't make sense for someone who is not working to get paid maternity leave.
That was a bad joke, but truth be told there are not that many outlets. The word "monopoly" is thrown around very lightly, although if you have just a few big players on the market then there is always a real possibility of cartel-like operations. Small platforms are eliminated or bought out very quickly. The way in which all the classical media reacted to Gab getting bigger was a bit suspicious, because it was not their direct competitor. From their point of view it should be an enemy of an enemy. It's much more likely, that existing internet molochs do not like competition that much. Maybe Gab was a special case, but ask yourself this - how many video platforms created from 2008 onwards can you name and how much of them are still around, not owned by big G and having a reasonable market share? There is only YT, nothing else comes close. This format - medium to long, usualy rich in content, videos are something that cannot be easily replaced in public discourse. Maybe facebook groups or reddit fill some of the gaps, but definetely not tictok or instagram. Communication does not equal communication. A well made video can have a lot more impact than all conversations that you can possibly start on WhatsApp in your life. Twitter is too shallow to fill this gap in my opinion.
They still have lots of Chinese users, who probably don't enjoy having insults hurled at them.
Would it be so terrible to just sell food in commercial packaging to consumers?

I wish stores like Target and Walmart would stock pallets of 40lb flour sacks and just sell them like any other product.

Even things like 50lb sacks on onions could be sold, and let people figure out how to split it up with neighbors, etc. People are smart, they'll figure out what to do.
I think those are different to this though because those had an effect on the content being produced ie(e)sports competitions. YouTube censoring comments I doubt will gain much attention. I do think the mob outrage of places like twitter and reddit will hopefully start pushing companies morally because it let's people kick up much more of a fuss than normal
Sure but those other folks can continue to isolate themselves to a greater degree, in line with their own risk assessment. I am not sure I understand the case to curtail one person's rights for another's benefit.
Even worse, when I was studying abroad in Germany I'd get the Microsoft English-translated-to-German page and then Chrome, which I had originally installed in the US and configured for US English, would "helpfully" translate the German back to English.

I can read English and usually German, but I definitely can't read technical documents that have passed through a machine translator twice.
Interesting definition of profitable. Should be 'least losing' instead of 'most profitable'.
I recently went and installed FreeBSD on my laptop. It has until now been a pretty good experiance. The main reason I went with FreeBSD over OpenBSD at the moment was that NVIDIA only supports FreeBSD. FreeBSD is also pretty simple (at least compared to linux) so it wins there as well.

He does occasionally hit the estimates - people have provided examples in this thread.

I think he tries to just publicise the unpadded, best-case-scenario estimates rather than the best-guess estimates to push people to eliminate any slack in the project.
