Interesting. Nobody I know is surprised by this stuff. Maybe it's because we're in the Randstad area and aware of the strings of liquidations that have been happening in Amsterdam? Not to mention the recent high-profile arrest of Taghi who grew up near Utrecht.
Such workloads are typical in bioinformatics, as the majority of tools do not support running on GPUs. Data parallelization (e.g. run the same tool on every chromosome independently) is a common strategy used in that field.
I'm just repeating what another comment said. The 10% cap doesn't include the delivery fee. It's about the price of the food. Delivery services can't charge more than $55 for $50 worth of food but they can still charge $10 for the delivery if that is what it costs.
Prime is not 99% cheater free at all. I'd say you'll find a cheater in one out of three matches at least. And one cheater is enough to ruin a match, which lasts around and hour. It's an appalling experience.
Pluralism alone works somewhat counter to the original spirit of dissent - it means assent to one of the available groups. Which will ultimately lead to conflict unless mediated, and in conflict, bigger (or louder, or richer) usually wins, and takes all.

They already do that for taxi rides, right? A longer taxi ride doesn't get magically cheaper because it's going to/from low income housing. It's all transportation, and transportation gets more expensive for a longer distance.

Anarchists and other like-minded people have been aware and vocal about this power structure for decades, centuries even, long before the internet existed.

Why do you think anarchists have generally been tarred as destructive and dangerous in the media and by the political and corporate establishment for so long?

The most insidious thing is that the status quo has become so ingrained in people that they reflexively downvote, censor and ban anarchists, because their masters tell them to.

Big tech is very much a part of the problem.

like all of the legacy quantum chemical and FEM codes or anything else you run in HPC (which are a lot of codes, which are not ported from one day to the other by an army of self-declared ML-pros). Part of them can be GPU-accelerated, but then you can easily eat TBs of memory with the right system and GPUs still have a way to go there.

Seems to me freedom of choice isn't just about selecting between good decisions, but having the right to make bad ones. Freedom isn't merely the choice between 'Fresh Stripe' toothpaste and 'Total Whitening' toothpaste - it's having the choice to go without even though it's dumb to have your teeth fall out.

Any society willing to ban lootboxes for informed, consenting, mentally competent adults would have no problem with banning porn and smoking and drinking too much and bicycling without a helmet by following the same logic.

There are steps you could take short of a total ban, of course - as we do for other vices.
Can anyone share their thoughts on whether, in case of a new project is it worth to start with Pulsar instead of Kafka as a distributed log/pub sub solution with guaranteed delivery? I heard a lot of stories about Kafka's operational complexity and TFA seems to be pointing out that Pulsar has a lower operational upkeep (ie. less manpower needed to keep it running).

> The reason for that is that the concorde used afterburners (basically, pump fuel into the high speed exhaust for extra thrust) which are incredibly inefficient.

Concorde didn't use afterburners "at speed". The afterburners were used for takeoff, and to go through the mach wall.

Concorde burned insane amounts of fuel on the ground because turbojets are very inefficient at low-speed. Not unlike the SR-71's really (though the SR-71 also had such extreme high-speed bypass it was basically using ramjets at speed).
I think the tone is intended to mimic the acerbic and deadpan style of satire of the original "A Modest Proposal".

Also what a lot of people don't seem to think about is that said insurance scheme premiums aren't generally paid for from the company's profits, but rather from increasing customer fees enough to cover it.

1. Steam became a success because of the games Valve developed.

2. Epic created Fortnite, which you likely know is a popular release. That game is leading to the Epic store getting off the ground and gaining traction. This is causing a rather large loss in revenue for Valve.

That's why games are important. If you control the top games, you control the users, and you control the platform.

Doesn't seem like a big deal. In this case I believe "MS support" is just compiling PHP for Windows and making them available at the PHP for Windows site.

I'm sure someone will pick this up. Or maybe it ends up being something like Apache where you have to find other places in the ecosystem which provide binaries for Windows. Or just compile the thing yourself.

> I've always wondered why they can't fly at normal airline speeds until over a rural area or an ocean before accelerating to sound barrier speeds.

Because geometry and engines which are efficient at very high speed are extremely inefficient at low speeds, so you want to avoid subsonic flight as much as possible.

Variable geometry (mostly variable-sweep wings) bridge that issue, but they're weak points, and significantly increase the weight and complexity of the machine, to the extent that Boeing's competitor SST (the 2707) abandoned variable-geometry mid-project as way too heavy and still not efficient enough, reverting to a more classic fixed delta.

"But it's genuinely for the "professional" part of Pro. Not develop professionals, but creative professionals."

Wrong. I am both a developer, and a developer of image-processing and video-editing software. I will never waste a minute of development time supporting this useless piece of shit. Why would I? It's not even reliably available on Apple computers, let alone on a cross-platform basis. And nobody with junior-high-or-better typing skill is LOOKING at his keyboard.

This entire gimmick is so poorly conceived that it stands as a testament to Apple's ignorance of what real-world users want in a computer. But then, so did five years of the disgracefully defective keyboards on every one of Apple's laptops.

Jony Ive was a pompous hack, and Apple has not wiped his pathetic legacy away with enough vigor to redeem its product line.
> But I benefit from slavery that did exist, and my ancestors benefited from a genocide.

I don't think this is the best way to say it, because "I benefit from slavery" sounds kind of abstract at this point. In fact, white people benefited from all kinds of 100% real and explicit racism right up to and beyond Civil Rights.

You don't have to uncover anything hidden because you can just go look up e.g. zoning laws in Berkeley and they will just say in the meeting minutes that they'd invented them to keep out the blacks and Chinese. The reason highways go through US cities instead of around them is because they wanted to knock down the black neighborhoods. They really put a lot of effort into it.

One reason to fix it is that it'll improve life for you too - undoing zoning will make your commute shorter and housing cheaper. But of course, people tend to not care about their absolute quality of life as long as it's better than someone else's.

> Pascal and Ada were still significant in the early 90s (ie when Python arrived).

That is not the timeline we're talking about here. Dynamically typed languages started taking off at the turn of the millenium and really exploded in the second half of the aughts. Java didn't even exist in the early 90s.
That's a nice trick, thank you! Although even knowing _what_ I had to do, I only managed to learn this after couple tries.
You might want to say what country and region you’re in. Are you trying to hire devs in Silicon Valley? Madrid? Flensburg? Etc. The way to go about it and your expectations might vary a lot depending on the locale. Devs in SV can demand very high salaries and can afford to be very picky. Not so for every other region in the world. So how experienced devs you can hire for a certain salary will very much depend on where the company is located. And the advice that holds true for Silicon Valley might not be the same for other places.

Yeah counted dxvk as patch. Wine has it's own work on dx over vulkan and you can easily use dxvk with wine as well. It's the default for most of my wine prefixes.

Thank you for explaining this point. I disagree with it, but I see your motivation for it.

> The US Senator still has the personal incentive to increase the scope of the federal government, but now they're directly accountable to the state legislatures with the opposite interest

State legislatures are only interested in a decreased scope of federal government when the federal government is not giving them what they want, much like how the States Rights party only cares about states rights when those rights concern themselves with what their base wants.

So, I don't think you're going to get that kind of check and balance. What you're probably going to get is similar to my original thesis - that it shouldn't matter...

Except that it does.

If you have the state legislatures appoint a truly terrible senator, there's no personal blowback against any of the members of the legislature - because responsibility is diffused. The office would become:

1. A perfect reward for connected party insiders, who, compared to the status quo, don't even have to win an election.

2. That would not be accountable to the public.

3. And where the people the public can hold accountable (The people making the appointments) are two steps removed from their behaviour.

Consider, for the sake of argument, supreme court appointments. Consider that a man who turned out, after the fact, to be an absolute monster was appointed. Then consider, what kind of blowback would the senators who made the appointment be subjected to?

They wouldn't be any. Just like how there's currently no blowback against Senate Republicans for the crazy train ride that Mitch McConnell takes them on. Everyone can shrug their shoulders, shirk responsibility, and blame the rest of the collective (preferably the guys holding safe seats) for the disastrous appointment.

Consider, also, all the bellyaching that people on this forum have about overreach by appointed bureaucrats running federal agencies? You'd have this exact problem, except it would be even more difficult to hold them to task, and they'd have even more collective power than executive bureaucrats currently do - where they couldn't even be overruled by the legislature - because they are the legislature.

That idea is frankly, terrifying.

You can do business OK. Areas of difficulty include: highly dynamic environment, heavy paperwork, sometimes opaque bureaucracy, really unfamiliar banking system (particularly forex), many regulatory bureaus with seemingly overlapping responsibilities, etc. However, the reality is once you are up and running there is a tremendous degree of freedom, perhaps a more friendly regulatory environment than in most western countries, 100% mobile payment penetration, rapid supply chains for everything, simplified tax, single timezone, etc. It's simultaneously scary and awesome.

> The only reason why you'd want me to respond via email is so that your responses wouldn't be public for other people to see. If you want a longer format, I'm willing to break this whole conversation down step by step.

I have no fear of public scrutiny. My actions have clearly demonstrated that because I have engaged everyone that has contacted me in good faith but I have not received the same treatment so I'm getting tired of re-iterating my points. If you think it's a trick then you can contact me on keybase and I will happily sign any statement that you want attributed to me and that I think is a fair assessment. If you don't think cryptographic proof is sufficient then we have nothing to argue about.

I stand by all my original claims. If you have specific arguments then quote me, and state your argument. I'm not looking for out of context quotes and mis-characterizations. If you want to continue arguing then provide actual quotes, state what you think I said and why, and make a counter-point for why you think my claim is incorrect with compelling evidence. You can contact me on keybase and cross-post our conversation on whatever public forum you want.
Going by my recent experience with mainstream search engines (read: I don't find shit anymore), I think the history of online search isn't closed yet. So far I've come to the conclusion that the problem isn't one of neglect by the likes of Google Search, DuckDuckGo, StartPage, etc. Rather, search engines do their job just fine, there just seems to be no good new content out there to search, and that has everything to do with the incentives that Google Search sets (and perhaps slow retirement and/or disillusionment of the web enthusiast generation). It'll be interesting to watch GOOG being torn between squeezing the last femto-penny out of each and every visitor contact on the web and elsewhere for growth, and at the same time seeing their cash cow fade as content creators can't make a living on DoubleClick and YouTube pittances.
