The Libertarian party is, at least ostensibly, democratic in nature. A group doesn't need to be the majority of the population to itself be democratic. My point is that the groups cancelling people are, themselves, democratic.

As for mobs, I disagree with your opinion on mobs and due process and proportionality, and have explained that at length elsewhere.

> astute readers will note the racism here

This is only racism if you deny critical theory. You should be explicit about that.

Bringing antifa into this conversation is a non-sequitor. I've yet to see antifa hurt anyone outside of like actual neonazi rallies where two groups of armed people beat the shit out of each other. It has nothing to do with cancellation, and the fact that you feel the need to bring it up is because your fears are based entirely on a slippery slope, as I've stated already. That because someone will criticize you on twitter the "antifa thugs" will beat you up. It's not a fear based in reality. The idea that "law and order" values are eroding is a right wing talking point used to stoke racial fear. It's again, not grounded in reality.

> if these mobs are allowed to continue, people will lose faith in the criminal justice system’s ability or will to keep their injustice in check

No, that's why these mobs exist. Which is my point. You're ignoring the viewpoint of the groups who are forced to take this action because the existing systems systematically fail to provide them justice. That is, ultimately a "justice and safety for me but not for thee" argument and it is a tool to perpetuate injustice.

If you want the things that frighten you to stop, you need to have answers on how to fix the existing injustice, because as long as the systems we have fail large groups of people, they will feel the need to get justice extrajudicially. That need isn't going to disappear if you oppress them more.

Finally, I note that the "counter" mob thing has been happening since forever. "Right wing" mobs are known to harass significantly more than left wing ones. We don't see people who are "cancelled" having to leave their homes for personal safety. But the Sandy Hook parents did.

Even if I grant you that cancel culture has no redeeming qualities, you want to make it illegal to participate in. I claim that any way to do that will be more harmful to society and to open expression than cancel culture itself.

Anyway, we're quickly running into politically fraught territory, so I'm going to disengage.

A mistake some engineers make, I've made it myself, is thinking that a company's success has anything to do with how good the code is from a computer science ivory tower perspective. A fast growing startup usually has a huge mess from the fast growth no? Haven't seen it otherwise, but that's just my anecdotal sample size.
Somehow it is popular to adhere to binary thinking.

Eg.

- For operating systems: only apple is good, the rest is bad.

- For politics: choose a side

Also the "if you are not for me, then you are against me" kind of trope.

That's just how it is, I don't think you can change that.

Some people have made their mind up and are only willing to make you change your mind and not listen to any reason from another point of view.

Then there's the abuse.

Where somebody is no longer debating a topic, but start getting personal. That's almost always a sign of acting in bad faith. Those are the type of posts that have a likely hood of needing some moderating. Once somebody like that pops up, they are likely to have crossed a limit that makes them easier to show up on your radar. Sometimes it is an accident, but other times it is a pattern.

It can be interesting to know why somebody acts like that, but perhaps it is better to not know that. Especially when they are not willing to change their behavior.
That's probably a good thing considering computer innovation has become pretty stale. A lot of it is large companies are unable to do it and smaller companies are too vulnerable by themselves (note the copy or buy line, copy is a serious threat). iPhone was the last groundbreaking thing I can remember and that came out 13 years ago, well before the Snowden revelations.

Elon Musk has done some pretty incredible things, but he's an outlier.

It's not a Cache-22, it's plain old ultra-wokeness & wrongthink. Similar studies on "human subjects" (e.g. sending fake CVs to employers to spot biases in hiring) are lauded as exemplary and important just because they present socially-favourable results.

Social studies are one big hoax, most research is p-hacked & fake, and the rest is heavily politicized.

In my observations, GPUs are the way they are largely because Physics demands sacrifices if you want that kind of performance. Those same demands apply to CPUs, but Intel has been fighting against them because software engineers hate to change anything about how they code. Well... the fight was lost years ago and Intel is conceding to Physics by integrating architecture that was originally designed for a CPU-GPU hybrid.

With AVX-512 and CUDA, Intel and Nvidia are trying to find the best developer experience they can to deal with the inevitable future of computing that is somewhere between those two experiences currently.

> You can expect returns, but not fix them ahead of time

Fixing them ahead of time is an attempt to quantify risk. It doesn't eliminate risk - loan defaults happen. The riskier a loan, the higher the interest rate. As long as the lendee has the option of refinancing with another institution (i.e. there is a competitive market for loans), usury shouldn't be an issue. Usury is an issue when the lendee has no other resort due to being persona-non-grata in the credit system (i.e. people whose only option is payday loans)

Without loans, there would be no way for people without extraordinary amounts of capital to purchase such basic items of modern life as a home or a car. What other mechanism do you suggest for those? Also, a lot of businesses are not public investment like technology firms, i.e. a neighborhood deli. If they have multiple investors, they are just partnerships, often with the partners in the same family. Loans are how such businesses find "investors".

I'd like a world where housing (in the right place), transportation, and costs of small enterprise startup were cheap and good enough for everyone to pursue without loans, but we aren't in that world yet. Maybe some technology advancement (modular homes, self driving buses, 3d printers) will help to reduce the cost of these things such that people won't need to make such large purchases, but that's still to be seen.

>And if you succeed, try selling it into the system again, without losing 30%.

In the scenario where the markets are collapsing and you need to sell gold for cash it's possible or even likely that it could be worth more than what you bought it for and even if not the discount rate you accept for selling it back may be worth it either way. If the market dropped 50-80% and you are only taking a 30% loss on gold that's clearly worth taking.

> I suspect many are sitting on cash, waiting for the other shoe to drop (or, you know, the market).

Well, MOST people can't afford an unexpected $500 bill, so most people aren't sitting on cash. Nevertheless, I don't agree that most of the people who can afford an unexpected $500 bill are sitting on large cash sum either either. Personally I have 2/3 in the market, and 1/3 cash (for liquid assets, I also have equity in my home but I am not counting that).

Yah me too.

I remember switching from XDCC to bittorrent when it first came out. There was a very short period where XDCC bots would have .torrent files on them.

Back then bit torrent was exclusively fansubs (anime) and the bit torrent client didn't have an upload limit, so it was painfully slow on the average connection.

Because at the time bit torrent didn't have any retention, and you could use a service like xdcc spy or xdcc finder to find old content similar to pirate bay today, I was somewhat of a skeptic of bit torrent then for this reason.

I'm not humanising corporations, I hate it when they make matey communications and kick myself if I catch myself referring to a (singular) company as 'they'.

But the terms avoidance and evasion are the same for corporate taxation as they are for personal tax. The desire to not pay more than necessary is also the same, and that seems entirely rational.

If you want a company to pay more tax (and it's not presently breaking laws - not evading tax) then you should want legislation to change. 'Company X should donate to the my country's treasury' (pay more tax than it needs to, not avoid it) is not a compelling argument for my (fictional) company any more than it is for my personal liability.

DeepMind Explores Generalization and Efficiency in Algorithm Design

Yuri Bezmenov was also a nobody who instantly became a darling of the American far-right. The interview you're referring to is by the Alex Jones-like conspiracy nut G. Edward Griffin. Bezmenov became "famous" by reinforcing every far-right fear of "communist indoctrination" in American society.

I would love to know how you think this has manifested in American society. The interview you're talking about is from 1984, and he's warning how these effects will start manifesting in the next 10-15-20 years. He, in fact, defected in early 1970. Let's be generous and say the changes would come after roughly 25 years. Where is the sweeping ideological and policy changes that in the mid-90s made the US so much more subversive and/or communist? I see little to no evidence of this.

In fact, the Bezmenov interview is carted out by all people trying to explain a change in the political landscape. Current-day liberals (in the American sense) use the (context-less) interview to claim it's indicative of current Russian measures. At the same time Republicans use it to prove that there's a "both sides", and that issues like trans rights and the internment camps are simply subversive claims by a foreign power.

Both of these narratives try to show that the "us" isn't inherently flawed, but that we're deliberately pushed in a "subversive" direction by an evil, all-powerful force. It's a comforting truth, in a way. You maintain the positive self-image while gaining a common enemy. Sure, you're mad at the other side for falling for the lie. But ultimately the common enemy is even worse.

I'm surprised it worked even on 'private' torrents I had. I had some misguided thoughts that they were a bit more secure as you needed a specific torrent downloaded that tied you to the torrent. I see now that it's just an authentication thing on top of the public interface.
They really are.

$5 for a $2 op-amp or a regulator is one thing, but when you need something slightly special, it goes to $10 or $20, just because TI doesn't have a comparable part. If you need more than a handful in your design, you're screwed.

Yeah, their parts generally are very good, but the industry isn't healthy if they're the only company with good designs.

All this consolidation has left a lot of room for a good competitor. We're not seeing one here in the US, because students today think analog stuff is terrifying black magic and avoid it like the plague, but I'm a little surprised we haven't seen any serious competitors out of China, since analog designs don't usually need the crazy expensive silicon processes that digital designs do.

Also, for the same $20, would you rather sell a 0.5 cm^2 microprocessor at 45 nm, or a 0.1 cm^2 analog to digital converter at 130 nm? Analog ICs should be a really good business.
As the sibling comment to mine says, predictive arbitrage will already have accounted for the price shift by the time the index inclusion/exclusion actually happens. That arbitrage means the price change effectively gets smeared over time, as the probability of being included in the index rises. The price effect of index inclusion isn't a binary in-or-out, it's a probability cloud based on speculation.

Consider a random company like say Dropbox, and take a wild guess that they might have a 2% chance of making the S&P 500 in the foreseeable future. That small chance is already built in to the current stock price, assuming efficient enough arbitrage. If that perceived chance were to rise, so would the stock price, and as it approached 100% would converge to the post-index inclusion value.

Stated another way: By the time an index fund needs to acquire a particular stock, enough arbitrageurs and market-makers have already acquired it that they're willing to sell at the price the index fund will pay. There isn't really a loss for the index fund to absorb. If there is, it shows up as tracking error in the fund's value not perfectly replicating the index, which is a common occurrence for plenty of reasons.

>the smallest tradeable gold will be coins which are worth $1600+ each

Not really accurate, you can get rounds down to 1/10 oz which are worth ~$200. In any case the USD value of a gold coin in a collapse situation is obviously irrelevant. If fiat really does collapse barter is obviously going to be the default way to trade goods and gold could easily be used as it was in the past.
I worked at a place where, one morning, the guy in the next office over got swarmed by company security and the police. He was trafficking in child porn on the company network. He was a super smart, super dumb guy who lost everything over it, his wife, custody of his kids, friends and a very high-paying career. His car sat in the company garage for weeks.
That's something I addressed, perhaps not clearly enough.

Having 2x 512b units crushes the clocks. That is a factor of vector width (and having multiple units), not the instruction set itself. Half-rate AVX-512 would in all probability run at the same speeds as AVX2, and allows significantly more flexibility than "mere" 256-bit AVX2.

That's perhaps something that is not clear from Linus - whether he is railing against the instruction set, or the implementation in Skylake-SP, or both (I think it's both). I would probably agree that Skylake-SP takes it too far with dual AVX-512 units, but the instruction set itself ("stop inventing magic instructions"), yeah he's way off base.

I am really hoping that one of these Zen generations, AMD includes half-rate AVX-512 like they had half-rate AVX2 in Zen1/Zen+. That really seems like the best of both worlds, you get the flexibility of AVX-512 but without the die area or the power issues. If not, well, Rocket Lake is coming end of this year/early next year and that should bring AVX-512 to consumer platform desktop (as it's in Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake will be a Tiger Lake backport) and will probably have only a single AVX-512 unit since it's mobile-derived.
Just to make it clear, the "stupid" thing here is the tax law, not the behavior of the corporations.

It would be "stupid" to expect corporations to pay more taxes than they are legally required to.
Second this. A company is more than just software and code... It's also marketing, hype, goodwill, customer service, design, UX etc...
If the stock was driven by a 'cult' then it would have gone up differently.

It has gone up because auto players all lost like 30% because of COVID and Tesla lost like 5% while still being profitable and still show very good margin and demand.

Plus they products in their future that are gone sell incredibly well in addition to the massive scaling that is still ongoing for Model Y. Semi, Cybertruck are gigantic market that Tesla will have a huge market share in for the next 5 to 10 years at least.

I worry about Bus factor with Elon too, but to assign the stock price to him is a waste over estimation.
