That's lovely in theory, but the reality is that it just means the majority of the creators left will be the ones being paid directly because their content is primarily promotional, and some of the better creators will turn their hand to something else [or something more explicitly promotional or hard to find because it's behind a paywall] because everyone has to eat.

And what was left wouldn't be easier to find, because there wouldn't be a free platform to find them on.

The wires we spliced were usually on long cables, more than 100' long (>30 m). The cables were laid out across pastures, through wooded areas, up drilling rig derricks, etc where they would remain until the data had been acquired or the well drilled. After that, they were rolled up and stowed for the next job or moved forward on the line and redeployed, again for several days at a time. The emphasis here was on maintaining the ability of the cable to be easily rolled and unrolled multiple times.

If mechanical splice connectors had been used then each cable would have a section which was much larger diameter than the unspliced cable diameter and if you didn't match the curl in the cable when you did the splice it would make the cable hard to roll since the coils would not lay flat. Some cables might accumulate multiple splices before aging out of the inventory and all those fat splices would make it hard to deal with very quickly.

The idea here is to produce a taped and sealed splice that has a final diameter that is as close to the unbroken diameter as possible so that there is nothing for the cable to hang on if it has to be pulled or dragged across the terrain or some machinery. Crimp splices, especially if you have multiple conductors cut will always produce a section of the cable that has a much larger diameter after splicing than the original cable and will be less flexible and therefore harder to deal with in the field. Any time you have a guy trying to shoulder or neck roll a cable that weighs more than 100 pounds you need to avoid complicating things.

When we did multiple conductor splices, up to 96 channels in my own experience, we had boards that were notched for each conductor pair and they were color-matched and spaced so that the entire splice would be a little under 2 feet long (.6 m) and all of it was looped and soldered. With a breakout box we could check continuity on each channel (a standard daily test) and have confidence that the splice was good before deploying the repaired cable.

I guess the easy answer is that you worry less about cracking solder than you do about being able to use the repaired cable as if it had not been damaged. Since each individual repair affected only an inch or so of the cable it had little effect on your ability to reuse the cable after the repair. The whole taped repair on a single conductor could be less than 2" long and would have a wrap of self-sealing rubber tape and a swipe with liquid tape to seal the ends. Very durable for all those chewies that cattle, deer, marmots, mice, etc. would add to your gear if it sat around in their neighborhood long enough.

I hope that explains it. By keeping the diameter of each repair near the diameter of the unbroken wire and spreading them along the cable if there are multiple repairs, the overall diameter of the cable ends up close to the unbroken diameter and the natural coil of the cable is unaffected.

I’m still running my 2010 MBP (it was worth maxing out the config, and I've replaced the optical drive with an SSD), though recently I bought a 2009 Mac Pro for my main machine. The MBP has fallen several feet into a concrete shop floor with only a squished corner in that milled aluminum case, and is on its third or fourth battery (I should stop cheaping out). I did splurge a few years ago on a replacement keyboard when the original's PCB traces started corroding. That's one of the first parts they integrated to the detriment of its repairability.

With a tweak I was able to get Mojave on it, and another tweak to get Xcode to compile for iOS 13 on it. That should do me for a while, until either the video cable exposed through a hinge breaks, or they can’t get the latest iOS to compile on it. But I’m loathe to get a machine that won’t let me keep it alive the next 10 years.

Intel CPUs haven’t advanced that much since this machine's 2.66x4 i7. The video probably hurts more. It points to a future where we can just expect to put some money into maintaining our computing machinery instead of consuming it like it's a service. But given that John Deere has moved this way, I’m not hopeful that computers will go back that way. Support right-to-repair bills!

The changeover to TLS1.2 only ever could have worked because of agility. Without at least protocol version agility (which implies cryptographic agility), one couldn't talk TLS and its successor on the same port, because there wouldn't be any other way to distinguish them. A new TCP port assignment would have been possible, but a total and utter disaster. Countless firewalls, appliances, routers, middleboxes, rulesets and similar stuff assume that HTTPS is on port 443, changing that would at least take a decade.

That the allowed set of ciphers didn't change enough with TLS1.2 may be right, but doesn't matter for why we do need agility.

Agility is necessary and TLS is the poster-child for why we need agility in such protocols. Whether the same applies for git, where the network protocol isn't that important and ingrained is of course debatable, I think you are right there. But what git has to do now is create agility by cramming it in somewhere, using cludges, hacks and whatever might be possible without breaking too much. It remains to be seen if the cludge will be free of security problems.

>"I may suggest that to find out about the experience of black Americans, it's best to refer to the words of actual black Americans" //

Absolutely.

And to say "this opinion is not grounded in experience" is a worthy note, but doesn't make their conclusions wrong.

As a generality people suffering a situation aren't able to take a measured approach - emotion gets the better of us - so it's not just a case of experiencing a situation. Not being subject to something doesn't discredit your viewpoint.

If you tell me I need to do sharding to improve my database performance, or whatever, and I say "this is a database of Chinese people, your opinion is invalid as your not Chinese" then I'm just being xenophobic.

People can have way more in common with others of different skin colour than they have with someone of the same colour. It's a people issue.

Focusing on segregating people's arguments by skin colour, rather than by validity of their arguments is so antithetical to the whole object of removing unnecessary discrimination that's why I felt I needed to comment, and I stand by that comment.
An aggregator most likely would prioritize feeds by popularity and then run most of their crawlers 24/7. Telling some users that a popular feed has new entries and not telling the free tier sounds complicated. Unless the free tier is getting a read replica of the database, in which case it’s throttled only by how far behind the read replicas get.

Prioritizing lower subscribership feeds if a smaller number of premium customers add them makes some sense though.
Making an iPad case for blind to “See” with touch
Dude MS and Intel got in trouble with US too. What MS did with IE is the same anti competitive thing they are doing now and what Google does, they offer free stuff runining smaller competitors, they can offer free stuff because they use their dominance in one market to force their products on other market.

So if I want to make a good video hosting platform I need to compete with Google, but Google is using their search dominance to offer YT for free so I can't compete fair with them. Same if I want to make an IDE or web browser, I am forced to compete with Chrome and Visual Studio Code, free stuff paid with money from other markets, so when all competition is killed you get the IE case where shit stagnates because there is no competition.

Indeed an early 2014 Thinkpad is my main work development box. It's a T540p with the excellent 3K matte screen. Admittedly I use it like a desktop computer, plugging in a keyboard and mouse (and, now, camera), so there's very little wear and tear, but in my mind it's basically still a new computer.

I've been using Adguard Pro [1], which is paid (not subscription), but open source [2], on my iOS devices. It uses Safari's content blocker mechanism for blocking ads on the web. I went with it over other apps because it supports adding custom rules to block specific elements on a page, like with other desktop ad blockers. If you want to block ads outside of Safari, it can optionally set up a VPN on localhost to block the traffic.

The concern is not primarily economic. In many areas, search and rescue personnel are primarily unpaid volunteers and the cost involved could be quite small. The larger issue is that searchers regularly expose themselves to personal risk in order to recover missing people. While searchers are better prepared, they often operate in large numbers and the realities of the situation require them to handle conditions which they would normally consider too dangerous (rough terrain, poor weather, etc). This makes injuries, and occasional fatalities, inevitable. Even without any injuries they spend a great deal of their time and energy on an effort that may have been unnecessary had the missing person taken better precautions.

There is some nuance here: the reality is that well-prepared people doing the best they can do become lost or injured and require rescue. This is not a "bad" thing but simply the result of activities that are not risk-free, and everything from government agency capabilities to volunteer SAR exist to mitigate this risk. But there is a difference between a person who requires rescue despite their best efforts and a person who requires rescue due to their complete negligence. There is no "bright line" between these two groups, but it's often quite clear on the ground whether or not someone had the respect for the situation that they should have. Search and rescue operations for these individuals are often shorter and lower risk, anyway, because they leave behind information (or even carry communication devices) that make them easier to find, and their preparation may make their injuries less severe or better handled by the time rescuers arrive.

HR experts believe Covid-19 may change the future of work – for the better
> Capitalism is buyer/seller/marketplace in lawful, competitive tension.

> A captured market is cartels, not capitalism.

No, capitalism is the economic system, dominant in the mid-19th century developed West, characterized by private ownership and unrestricted control of the means of production, and “capitalist” can refer either to a supporter of that system or member of the upper class in that system or similar systems which have priavte, though more restricted in use, ownership of the means of production, defined by deriving sustenance mainly from returns on their ownership of the means of production.

Capitalism has a strong tendency toward cartels and capitalists (in the second sense) tend to seek to capture markets (to have, in the words of startup culture, a “moat”).

Efforts to limit the free employment of capital to limit the development of monopolies/oligopolies/cartels were, along with the imposition of various basic rights for labor which also limit the free employment of capital, among the reactions against capitalism that became prevalent during the peak of the capitalist period and which propelled the progression from capitalism proper to the modern mixed economy.
I am very happy today with my family. My name is Joann Vera from USA i am 34 years old , My husband left me for good 1 years now, and i love him so much, i have been looking for a way to get him back since then. i have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that darted me to PRIEST WISDOM a powerful spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 2 days. Me and my husband are living happily together today, That man is great, you can contact him via email Eaglespyhacker@gmail.com … Now i will advice any serious persons that found themselves in this kind of problem to contact him now a fast solution without stress.. He is always there to help you , now i call him my father.contact him now he is always online or email (eaglespyhacker at gmail dot com )
Do you have a source for that? This seems like the kind of thing that should be widely discussed among creators, but it's hard to find numbers. (Maybe due to NDAs?). The best I could find the last time this was discussed was this, but it's not a lot of data points and the numbers vary widely: https://old.reddit.com/r/PartneredYoutube/comments/9mj13u/sh...

The numbers posted show premium viewers making more money for the creators per viewer. How much more depends on exactly which of the datapoints you pick, but it's ranging from 35% more to a rather implausible 3600%.
You are being snarky and not adding to the conversation. From the time the Apple Watch appeared, it's been denigrated, but I see them everywhere. I see regular complainers here on HN about the iPhone too, but it misses the total saturation in certain demographics. Apple is successful. Yes, we should continue to hold them to a high standard of ethics, but the haters need to realize that consumers like their gear.

> And this is the improvement from the previous generation ipad A10 to the ipad pro's A12Z - 2x speed up in single a generation

Single product generation, not single chip generation. There is a new A SoC every year. The A11 was a thing for the iPhone X & 8.

Apple doesn’t claim to “tick/tock” like Intel did. Apple is also dealing with significantly less mature technology which enables exponential gains like the sort they’ve been delivering through since the A4.

The technology is maturing. The hockey stick growth doesn’t work forever for any metric. Given enough time, it will always flatten out. Apple is already seeing that too. They’ve gone from year on year 2x performance to (per your above) 2x every 2 years.

That timeline will continue to stretch. The only major advantage Apple’s A chips have over Intels is that they can be optimised to Apple users (and I do mean the large aggregate, not the niche coders) typical use cases to maximise battery life. There are no other customers Apple cares about beyond that large majority.

The SPP region (small piece of Texas and then the heartland around Oklahoma and Kansas although there are many states) has already hit > 70% renewable penetration during some hours of the day with very little storage, but a LOT of wind (> 20 GW).

The problem is sustaining that 70% for a longer time period. Wind is intermittent, so firming it up with additional solar (also intermittent, but generally at different times) and a lot of storage would have to be the next step if you wanted a sustained > 70%.

I'd guess with very high probability that this region (very geographically large), but not too many large population centers will hit 80% renewable penetration within 3 years based off of current growth. It is still a guess as to how long it will take before you'd see 80% across peak and not in the morning. Still, this has all happened in a few years.
There's plenty of prior art beyond Rosetta to look at. MS has already done this for Windows on ARM, and simultaneously across ABIs via WSL. Linux offers QEMU-based "on the fly" emulation of different instruction sets based on execution-time examination of the ELF binaries. x86 BSDs have long offered Linux emulation. Even ChromeOS offers lightweight containers for Android and Linux apps.

Apple is actually pretty far behind the curve here, at least in terms of end-user-accessible features. Presumably that means they wouldn't have to innovate too much to get x86/ARM translation working, even for binaries that couldn't be readily recompiled to support the new chips directly.
Manufacturing Marketing into Distribution
You can blame SPEC for lots of things (the most important one being that it may not be relevant for your workload), but I don’t think you can blame it for not being an independent benchmark. It’s made by a non-profit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Performance_Evaluatio...)

Yes, companies can try to influence the definitions of new SPEC benchmarks to make their CPUs look good and they also may spend time tweaking their compilers to look good on it, but it’s not that they write those benchmarks unopposed by representatives of other companies.
Yes, but today we’re using coal to produce solar panels. Why even bother with such a fantasy hypothetical? Why not just go all the way to cold fusion if we’re just making stuff up that isn’t being done currently? This is what I meant about the left having a fantasy that one day technology will save us. We just cannot accept reality.

> Nobody would use that for real work

It always amuses me how warped many commentators on HN's perspectives are on what is and isn't "real work". At time's it's bordering on "no true scotsman" fallacy.

I assure you that plenty of people are using those computers and getting paid for the work they do on them.
A few years back I wrote an N64 emulator graphics module for the Raspberry Pi because I was unhappy with the poor performance of the existing ones and I would have really wanted this. Drawcall overhead for Broadcom's official drivers is extreme: you can't have more than a single-digit number of drawcalls per frame and still maintain 60 FPS. I ended up having to go to ubershaders for everything just to maintain 30 FPS. I'm certain the hardware was capable of much more, but the drivers were holding it back.
> Alternatively, it might just bump up the salary and bonus of existing employees

I am afraid that this won't help. The current employees are already used to this passive and unchallenged/unchallenging mode of work, giving them a raise will not move the needle. You need (sorry for the Dilbert-ism) a paradigm shift. Either get 10 contractors and they can define a new baseline-speed, or get 1 director, 2-3 managers, 5-10 new staff from the private sector, that they will redefine processes/speed/scope etc. and the existing staff will either have to pick up their pace or slowly be substituted (one-at-a-time). I have seen this happening many times in the private sector when a M&A happens.
I dont understand this comment, please elaborate. I've found meditation and the like helpful, haven't paid a dime to anyone for it and so am confused.
No way to easily maintain an ARM ecosystem and an x86, but it sure would be nice if we got to choose our hardware more in our macs. They could solve a lot of peoples issues by letting people customize basics like their laptop ports, magsafe or not, keyboard / touchpad or not, and T2 chip or not.

They would have to open the OS up a lot to allow choice of CPU architecture, which they will never do.
It doesn't look like this supports GLSL, so that would have to be addressed first. Furthermore, there's no Vulkan backend yet for WebRender.
