Darwin’s On the Origin of Species is surprisingly readable to laypeople.
Looking up on NewEgg DDR4 128GB ECC, I see 2x128GB for $1650 so the 1.5TB configuration of the Mac is $9,900.

The processor is around $3,150.

The Afterburner is not available for Linux at any price. It only contributes $2,000 to the price anyway.

The AMD Pro Vega II is not available for purchase. Finding an equivalent card would require substantial amounts of guesswork. The only recent GPUs I can find with 32GB are around $7,000. The configuration has two of them.

You're up to $27k by this point and you don't have a computer yet, and I'm not so sure that the equipment above is comparable.
And the someone that pays is ultimately the consumer. They are the ones all of this is for and produced by.
All RS algorithms follows non-trivial logic based on the user’s feedback. They constantly adapt and upgraded. You can add some fuzzy-rules based on your moderation principles — remove porn, videos about flat earth, abusive content, and etc. But the core algorithm hard for interpreting.

Letting government step into this space creates an alternative form of censorship. I would rather ask all content platforms for transparent open-sourced moderation rules.

At the meantime, TikTok has a remarkable traction that put in a row of the greatest product of the decade. Previously ByteDance tried to move HQ away from China, but I now I guess they might even consider selling their product.

I guess it is more political decision rather than Indian government really cares about data security. Seems that US and specifically Facebook become the absolute winner in India.
What Is the Best Web Hosting Service for You to Buy in 2020? (Updated June 29th)
Ah, but the idea was I'd get a lump sum...
So get a rewards card. Some percentage of the sales taxes go to support programs I don’t agree with or use. And I can’t escape that. However, one could start a cash-only store if one wanted.

You are also ignoring the cost of cash. Theft and cash handling isn’t a zero cost. Why should I, as a credit card user, be forced to subsidize losses due to cash handling? We could also talk shoplifting as well; policies that don’t punish shoplifters means I get to subsidize that as well. We could go on and on and ultimately it gets absurd. If you don’t like the price, go somewhere else and the market can sort it out.
I would say that writing a rudimentary VM is about as hard as generating LLVM IR. The difference is that the VM will have terrible performance and the LLVM IR will have pretty good performance.

OK. But you're still not addressing the main problem.

LEO means you meed more satellites because they're closer to the earth.

If look at the proposed OneWeb satellites, they need 650 of them for their constellation. I'm sure there's some overlap there, but probably not a ton. With GPS, you need much more overlap - specifically, every part of the earth need to be able to get a signal from a minimum of 4 satellites.

So you might be looking at somewhere between 650 and 2600 satellites in LEO to run a GPS type system instead of 24 at the traditional orbit. I just don't see how that makes sense.
Collectors (and listeners) of LP records tend to want their items pristine, even if second-hand, as sound quality is easily disturbed. I think books are more the outlier though, where many people are happy for them to be well-loved.

Democrats in the 80s supported abortion. Trump calls them after birth executions and supported throwing doctors and women in prison. Only walking back the latter when it became clear that even a lot of the right wasn't on the same page.

Dems in the 80s supported regulations as a prophylaxis for the harm that unregulated free markets would do to our planet and our citizens. Trump believes they are an impediment to profits and ought to be stripped to nothing starting with the ones prohibiting pollution of our environment.

I'll go one step further. This inequality is built into how humans work.

Most of us would not extend credit to somebody with low odds of returning it, so why do should we expect companies and organizations to behave differently? I feel like wrapping this up as in the pretty words "systemic inequality" is framing it as some constructed oppressive structure, which I'm loathe to do.

What I don't get is why this:

> rustc is notorious for throwing huge gobs of unoptimized LLVM IR at LLVM and expecting LLVM to optimize it all away.

is seen as a problem with Rust, rather than LLVM. Isn't the whole point of having something like LLVM to have a high-quality backend where all optimizations only have to be implemented once, and then they just light up for all the languages that target it?

(1) Cash discounts were always permitted ("2% off for paying with cash")

(2) Credit surcharges and minimums used to be forbidden, but they are not anymore ("2% surcharge for paying with credit, minimum $10 for card payments")

(3) It wasn't federal law, it was the merchant agreements that precluded credit card minimums and surcharges as a condition of signing up to accept credit card payments from each of the major issuers.
>The nail in the coffin was Apple doesn't let you have camera access when the app is running in that mode (it's really just unacceptable IMHO)

So, who's the culprit here? You were able to create an app which can perfectly run in browser but now apple forces you invest in hundreds if not thousands of dollars in equipment, effort in learning a new programming language(although it's open-source), $99 every year for license and give it 30% cut of your revenue when you earn it just to preserve its monopoly in Appstore?

That's my argument, issue is never been the PWAs it's Apple's support for it. So, is the reason it doesn't allow any other browser engines on iOS as well. Apple has branded 'Privacy' and uses it for weaponising marketing.

Edit: Forgot the yearly license.

Reduced prices for cash used to be against the Visa/MC merchant terms. They lost a lawsuit over it, but it's fairly ingrained by now.

You'll see cash discounts at some gas stations, and the occasional small coffee shop or takeout place will have a $10 minimum, but otherwise it's gonna be the same price most places.
Politics Dressed Up in a Lab Coat
I disagree strongly. Apple leaves money on the table by not aggressively tracking its users. And their investment in e.g. accessibility is certainly not driven by bottom-line considerations.

Apple is relevant today because they actually are focused on products, not profits. Sometimes it really is that simple.

It's pretty standard to have 8 slots [1] on motherboards and rarely 16 slots [2]

64 gig DDR4 modules cost ~$300 [3]
128 gig DDR4 server modules can cost as little as ~$800 [4]

8x64 = 0.5 TB of DDR4 ram = 8300 = $2,400
16x128 = 1.5 TB of DDR4 ram = 16800 = $12,800

It's not used often. It's a one off thing for Apple.

The Road to Serfdom should be required reading for anyone who considers themselves a thinking person. I am a libertarian but have read a lot of philosophy from the major thinkers who encompass all points on the political spectrum. If you consider yourself educated and convicted in your beliefs, you should especially focus on those who disagree with you to ensure you truly believe in your principles.

The Austrian School of economics has a niche diehard following but I'm not sure how seriously they can be taken for several reasons. However, I am a fan of their opinions on "hard money", and do not like governments printing endless "fiat" currency, which is also why I have devoted several years of my life to cryptocurrency.

Don't dismiss Hayek out-of-hand. Give him a fair shake, even if you are on the left.

Edit: amused by the downvoted from lurkers. People don’t like to read about views that disagree with their own, in these monoculture times.
It will probably happen, but will take a while. My bet is that this is what Apple is working on. They will launch a version of Apple Card that is free of MasterCard.

So far it's been a really long-haul play where Apple has spent a lot of time establishing deals with banks manually, in order to get a tiny fee, which they can due to the increased security of their system. This hard work is necessary in order to create a payment network that can work for everyone.

Eventually, Apple will be in a position to launch their own network, while increasing fees for themselves and lowering fees for merchants.

As someone who's been a merchant I'm very happy to see this happening, although it's like watching a tree grow (paint drying would be exciting in comparison). It's likely Google will follow suit, and depending on Apple's choice of implementation, we could hope that it will be backed by a stable cryptocurrency - but that's just a shot in the dark.
BlueWave was fantastic. I miss it too.
The Titan RTX is a consumer GPU, not a workstation GPU. The cards are designed for different workloads, so are not really comparable.
And one year after that we will get self driving cars. And the next one will definitely be the year of Linux on the desktop :)

Sure, it could happen somewhere down the line but saying that blockchain is "destroying the moat" today is a big stretch. Blockchain barely just started to realize that the moat is actually much larger than previously thought. And that parts of the moat exist for a reason. It's barely starting to understand the moat, still far from attacking it, let alone destroying it.

Hopefully it will but I'm not holding my breath nor my bitcoins.
I was curious as to whether this indeed would be possible. But the CPU (W-3275M) itself starts at $6k, the Vega's are $8k each, I can't find any catalogue prices but each slab of ram comes in at around $600 which puts us at $30k. Not unthinkable that the remaining hardware can add another $5k to the bill and you're looking at a $35k machine.

You can probably replace some of these with consumer grade parts, but I'll be impressed if you can create a machine with two titans, 28 cores, and 1.5tB of memory for under $10k.
Buy LSD online,we have high quality product available
It's really unfortunate to see downvotes for this. The belief in reverse racism in America is pretty widespread and I imagine we'll eventually see people understand what it means to say it doesn't exist.

The rejection of reserve racism isn't a reaction based on anger like "they hurt me first and more so I can hurt them." That's not what this is about. It's about not minimizing the prejudice black people suffer from every day by comparing it to having to send a picture of your black skin to be a mod in the subreddit mentioned above.

It's about understanding that racism is NOT just an instance of prejudice against someone based on color. It's the entire fucking system and culture we have in America that oppresses black people. It's about the system of power and authority that oppresses black people. When we reserve the word racism for this it follows that it's ridiculous to believe in reverse racism. There is no system that oppresses white people in America. It does not exist.

Is it shitty to be treated differently because your skin is white? Of course. It sucks and it's your right to feel hurt by it, but don't call it racism. Prejudice yes, racism no. Why is this distinction important? Again, because the instances of racism that white people complain about simply do not compare to what black people go through. Using the same word for these things minimizes what black people go through every god damn day.

While I'm sure AMD's latest high-core count chips may be giving us new cheaper options, high priced Macs have typically been reasonably priced for their specs.

More recently when the 27" 5K iMacs came out, I looked at the price of a 27" 5K IPS DCI-P3 monitor on Dell... it was only $100 less than the iMac, despite the Mac having a full computer in it, in addition to the display. People still complained that they were expensive.
I'm not sure that's the case. Some examples looking back on some of the most popular HN stories tend to align well with either tech platforms or issues dealing with personal rights. Such as [1] or the Snowden and Julian Assange situations [2] [3]. Or for the sake of not cherry-picking, when the Supreme Corut legalized same-sex marriage [4]. Although perhaps somewhat morbidly, the top comment seems to demonstrate one of the problems I find with HN.

With my first story I figured it would fit well with the people that tend to advocate for personal rights because it was an example of an American citizen being wrongfully detained for three weeks, but it ended up flagged because I think people tend to circle the wagon around anything tangentially related to immigration.

The second example was about a direct example of government censorship and the inconsistency of free speech advocates. Google's actions and bending to China for the sake of maintaining profitable behavior is bad, yes, but they also are not the government. The government should be held to even higher standards and yet it seems people are not willing to do so for this administration. An example of that is that people here were praising the administration's threats against Twitter as some sort of pro-freedom move.

The 3 Weeks That Changed Everything
Because the tire would deform, if there is a net force on it. Therefore the force from the inside is the same as the one on the outside. (However, that argument has only any chance to hold at the contact point from the tire to the ground, since obviously everywhere else the tire does not perform because of stiffness of the tire material.)
I see there are some of these around these days, perhaps it wasn't so common last time I was looking which was at least 5 years ago. But at this point, there doesn't seem to be much benefit in having a credit card. I'd also be unlikely to qualify for one, either due to not having a stable income of $20k plus per year, or because I'm not a permanent visa holder in Australia, despite living here for over a decade.
What is your aversion to rap music and how is it relevant to this case?
That may be a reason in the future, but they did specifically mention a couple really good reasons to dump Facebook login now:

> "That’s become even more true as time goes on, since Facebook constantly seems to be upping the ante with creepy privacy practices. We use the Facebook SDK to provide login functionality, and every new release of the SDK seems to add new tracking options that are turned on by default, which we have to take action to disable. Furthermore, the Facebook SDK has quality problems, and recently caused a huge number of iOS apps to crash due to a misconfigured server."
> It's even written into some classic books and movies.

That was one of the deciding factors when I was planning on getting a second credit card (so I'd have a backup while travelling).

I knew here in Australia they are not widely accepted, with only major retailers accepting it typically, but I thought that this was just Australia being backwards.

After spending the first two or three weeks trying to pay for things with it, I gave up except on checking into a new hotel.
> video storage and bandwidth is a meaningful portion of video CPM or video subscription

Maybe "compared to web pages". But very skeptical it's a meaningful cost compared to production or subscription prices. Even going with a third party CDN you're probably not paying more than ¢1/GB of transfer. For 720P h.264 that's about about 2GB, or 2¢, per hour of content transferred. How many pennies per month do you need before it's a meaningful portion of the $7 subscription price?
Friedrich Hayek put the Austrian in Austrian Economics; the term was invented by the Germans and was meant to be disparaging towards him and others like him.

Hayek has an extensive body of written work, the jewel of which is “The Road to Serfdom”. Russ Roberts of the Hoover Institute has hosted an ongoing podcast called EconTalk[1] that while not studying Hayek specifically, often brings a Hayekian viewpoint to his discussions with guests.

The difference is that in Canada, I’m Canadian, I can say practically anything I want about the government and nothing bad would happen to me. If I were to be crazy and slander Trudeau calling him a pedophile or something I’d be ostracized socially by many people but I wouldn’t end up in jail. If you really want to test equivalencies I challenge you to fly to Beijing and accuse Xi Jinping of that in public and that would be the last anyone would see of you. The police would probably plant drugs on you and put you in a hole.

And in Canada, corporations are not exactly actors which perform rigid functions outlined by the government.. the liberals, who are currently in power, don’t have party members sitting at the top of companies whose function is to literally oversee compliance to liberal propaganda.

China isn’t quite as bad as western media makes them out to be, I’d argue that in many ways they have been improving and loosening up, but it’s silly to pretend that YouTube is no different than TikTok or that Amazon is no different than Alibaba.

Crisis-Proof Email Strategies from a $35M Email Agency Founder
I am no fan of China, but people on the West want sustainable growth, jobs in local countries with strong IP protections (no outsourcing or even manufacturing outside if possible), carbon footprint to be reduced by developing countries with a fraction of per capita income as them and who historically did not put much into the atmosphere (i know China is the biggest polluter but it manufactures for the entire world and does have a high population and historical per capita emissions are low) on one hand ...

...and on the other hand they do not allow the universal applications of a rule to the entire country crying genocide without any nuance, historical analysis etc.

Muslim fertility rate and child bearing ages(compared to overall population) are very high in India too and if India brings a population control bill for the entire country in the future i guess similar narratives will be created.

The same people will go on online forums and then talk about 'street shitter' memes and why countries without basic sanitation access should not pursue space dreams etc.

I mean it is very reasonable to limit family to 2 kids (replacement fertility level) today, increasing life expectancies do not help the economics either.
Oh. But can I think about something illegal ? Can I write something illegal down on paper ? Say something illegal quietly ? Can I say something illegal loudly in the middle of the forest ?
Saying something is just a way to make your thoughts known by others. Thought police, and thought crime are just a tear drop away, it seems.
I agree with your points about perceived burnout and ageism. I disagree with the anecdote about difficulty of the Java class. I don't have any first-hand experience with calculus, or any other STEM classes (was a communications major before self-teaching/bootcamp) but I would imagine the difficulty there would be pretty comparable

> credit transactions tend to be 20%+ higher ticket sizes than cash purchases. In a way, the credit card surcharge baked in is something of a volume purchasing incentive

Funny you mention that, because that’s yet another case where it’s expensive to be poor. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, barely making ends meet, you likely don’t have the cash flow to stock up on a sale. So rather than buying 18 months worth of TP when there’s a sale + coupon on the 64 pack, you are buying the 4 pack at regular price that costs twice as much per unit.
