I don't know what the business decision was to hire outside contractors, however it resulted in the layoff of 62 workers. TVA hasn't hired an H1B employee since 2008. But if they needed to hire for a role where H1Bs were required they could afford to pay a competitive salary.
Don’t do this, use a plastic toothpick or you might damage the contacts.
Someone needs to put these things together: motion activated dog barking plus auto-turning your TV on. HNer's, get to work!
Yes, I'm assuming that, since there is no political will to change that anytime soon. (This is not a value judgement on my part, just an observation.)

I’m sure I remember reading that most patients admitted to hospital with Covid don’t have a high temperature.
You need to give people more time off for that. Not happening in the US any time soon, we're going the other direction.
> that something as obvious and common as an ambulance

They're not talking about ambulances. They're talking about paramedics.

Here's the para:

"The two men weren’t doctors, and they weren’t nurses. And their strange uniforms weren’t hospital issued. Moon was witnessing the birth of a new profession—one that would go on to change the face of emergency medicine. The two men were some of the world’s first paramedics, and, like Moon, they were Black."

Here's the fifth para:

> As a result, emergency services were not there to provide treatment at the scene or even necessarily on the way to the hospital… they were just about getting you to the hospital as quickly as possible. It also wasn’t clear whose responsibility it was to rush to the scene of an accident. Oftentimes firefighters were the ones to respond, and they were expected to deal with health treatment themselves. In other areas, the responsibility for transporting patients often fell to local funeral homes. In many major cities, this crucial task fell to another municipal service that probably had even less business responding to medical emergencies: The police.

Here's the wikipedia page on early ambo services, and history of pre-hosptial care:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramedic#Early_ambulance_serv...

> What am I to make of all the examples in the wiki article I linked?
Those examples are about patient conveyance, not pre-hospital care. Those doctors are not providing pre-hospital care, they're getting the patient to hospital as fast as possible and then giving a hand-over.

> Do they not count, because they used doctors and not paramedics?

When we're talking about the first paramedics we do count paramedics and we don't count medics, because medics are medics, they're not paramedics, which is why we call them "medic", not "paramedic".
> RAM used in GPUs has pretty good latency when compared to that used in typical CPU applications

I see [0] that what I should have said is this (taken from page 7):

High throughput is obtained through the use of wide memory buses and specialized GDDR (graphics double data rate) memories that operate most efficiently when memory access granularities are large. Thus, GPU memory controllers must buffer, reorder, and then coalesce large numbers of memory requests to synthesize large operations that make efficient use of the memory system.

Which roughly translates to higher latency from the point of view of any particular wavefront/warp, compared to the cache-heavy CPU approach. Of course, as the GPU's cores can easily switch between wavefronts, the latency from the wavefront's point of view isn't all that important; it's the overall throughput that counts.

> Giving a GPU a single threaded workload would be like having a sausage factory start up to make a single sausage, it's inappropriate use of the tool, which will always give poor results.

I don't like the analogy, as the single-threaded job could be enormous.

Offloading a very small job onto a GPU is a bad idea because of orchestration overheads. Offloading a large single-threaded job onto a GPU is a bad idea because of poor core utilisation (you're using just one of the lanes of just one of the cores). Offloading a fixed-point-intensive job onto a GPU may be a bad idea because of inappropriate instruction-set. There's the matter of wavefront-coherent flow control. And if the job has chaotic memory access patterns, we're back to our original topic, and you'll get bitten by the wide memory bus.

> It's very common that credit karma will show a decent score, and then when the person applies for a loan or mortgage the score the lender uses comes up much lower and they get denied, and there's little they can do about it except try again later and hope the number went up.

It goes beyond "there is no 'your score'" – there are absolutely credit scores that really matter, it's just the overwhelming majority of people who monitor their "score" from a free monitoring site are looking at something that may be at best a poor simulation of that score.

From what I've learned from a friend who did banking software development for decades: almost every lender pulls a FICO score from all three reporting agencies, discards the high and low, and uses the middle score to make their lending decision. In some cases lenders go out of their way to avoid building in manual underwriting because the score is typically quite accurate and manual underwriting allows bias to enter the system that may open up fair lending/housing lawsuits.

Credit Karma doesn't provide a FICO score. Most places that give you "free credit scores" don't. My friend says they jokingly call this a FAKO – a fake FICO. It means next to nothing because they tend to be based on an alternative model like VantageScore that isn't what lenders use to make decisions.

If you want a real FICO score, you can buy them from myfico.com and get them from all three bureaus, or you can get a credit card that gives you one: all Discover cards give a monthly FICO 8 from TransUnion and AMEX gives a FICO 8 from Experian (not sure if it's all the cards, and don't go to the "give my credit score" link on their site – you have to find the link to your FICO score)

His tl;dr: "a site that tells you your credit score means nothing, a site that tells you your FICO score means a great deal".

Don't worry, by the time those 3 years pass the Pixel 4A's 3,000 mAh battery will feel like a 2,000 or 1,500 mAh battery, especially with Google still not getting a clue about giving Android an option to disable fast charging on the spot, when you want to.

It's also one of the reasons phones with larger batteries will last more (second best thing if we can't get replaceable batteries anymore).
Playing devil's advocate but assuming they're being truthful what's in it for them to expose the very strategies they use?
It seems like the thesis of this diatribe is that people recognized generally or in their own niche as intelligent may not be, which is supported by saying they expressed ideas which allow the author to call them trash, which means they aren’t smart after all.

Isn’t that a self-defeating argument? Recognition makes them noteworthy, but being wrong makes them notorious idiots?

>>[...] although most robberies happen during the day so it's sort of a moot point

I wasn't aware of this. I wonder if this means robberies have gone down as a result of more people forced to stay home due to Covid.
Yeah exactly. You can easily generate any orthographic views, cut sections, use templates for common building elements and more in Revit.

On the other hand, everyone loves the flexibility, and UX of Rhino/Grasshopper.And (for now?) Rhino has the market cornered on structural, energy, and environmental simulation and optimization plug-ins, just because data-management is so much easier in Grasshopper then Revit's equivalent visual scripting language (Dynamo).
> I mean the science is bunk

Since you dismiss the existence of objective, non-ideological facts, isn't that necessarily your position on all science?

> but it wasn't "discredited" in the sense that you mean among the scientific community or the policy community across the West who enacted policies based on it well until after the mid 20th century

Yes, phrenology was discredited , and why you posted a link about eugenics to support your rebuttal of a point about phrenology that had nothing to do with eugenics, I don't know.

> The Nazis adopted scientific racism and this is proof they weren't motivated by scientific rationalism?

That wasn't my actual argument, but it works, since “scientific racism” doesn't actually follow the methodology of post-enlightment empiricism, merely adopting it as an elaborate rhetorical flourish for propaganda purposes, much the way that, say, intelligent design does. It recognizes that some of it's audience might be positively disposed to the superficial appearance of empiricism, rather than actually embracing it itself.
> Prices of large costs like housing and college tuition have increased in massive surplus of the average person's ability to pay for them, which in many ways is a huge problem in and of itself, but the only way the system even sort of still works is easy access to debt.

Easy access to debt financing drives up those prices. If people can't afford purchases w/o incurring debt and loans aren't available, prices would fall.

Instead, you're advocating making it easier for people take loans that exceed their ability to pay?

That's not rational from either a borrower, a lender, or a systemic perspective.

Best part of Pixel 3A too. I was wondering if I should switch to the iPhone but after playing around with an used iPhone, I decided to stick with my Pixel 3A and I'll most likely buy the 4A (since I cracked part of the screen on the 3A). I love that Google is releasing highly usable phones at a decent price range. Combined with prepaid plans, I can easily switch carriers or phones without worrying.
I'm being sarcastic. Everyone knows that...
Indeed: it is far past the time when individual action would make a difference to Google. The only way to actually get them to listen is going to be to consistently vote for people who a) have a reasonable chance of winning their election, and b) support modernizing and enforcing our antitrust regime. (It is likely that this will need to be done incrementally, and it may require first replacing (b) with increasing levels of support for getting corporate money out of politics.)
Tesla is a scientific error, but what about their 1619 Project stuff?

For me it was the wild Op Eds literally calling for a revolution, and a two day focus on Trump on the front page and the side op eds while there were riots within view of my window. I remember specifically seeing 5 helicopters within sight, after a second day of rioting, seeing nothing mentioned in the home town NYT that we had sacked Soho and Midtown in consecutive days, hundreds of businesses attacked, and deciding then and there that it was a dangerous, misleading newspaper. After several years of subscribing, I unsubscribed.
That's true, in this case "further away" is a 4-dimensional distance vector (it includes time). :D
It's too late to edit my previous comment, but I did think of one thing to add: 5G allows for more efficient use of spectrum, which benefits everyone. (Although, it benefits the carriers the most.)

So, while I don't think it's worth waiting for, I do think it is a good thing overall.
Now that you mention it, it’s a little surprising Apple hasn’t done that. It exists on the Mac so why not my iPhone or iPad?
And other people make the conscious choice to be happy. More or less in the epicurean style.

How has nobody connected GPT-3 up to a voice interface yet? It wouldn't reveal anything new but it I think the level of conversation GPT-3 is capable of combined with actually talking to an AI would be fairly mind blowing.
It makes no sense that you believe you know my opinion on what America and/or American companies should do when I didn't give my opinion on what American and/or American companies should do. The viewpoint you've ascribed to me seems bizarre to me; I don't recognize it.
I understand that in principle it could have an effect, and I understand how.

I'm questioning whether that market for developers really is tight enough to matter, whether employers and top policy makers would even notice that some number of people withhold their skills in protest.

I'm wondering if perhaps there are other more powerful ways for these developers to exert their influence, whether in these positions or outside of them.

Get a fumigation sign. The skull and crossbones and threat of death by toxic asphyxiation will keep all but the most determined burglar away.Few burglars go out on a job with respirators. Add a bit about asbestos being found "on site." An ADT sign is nothing but an "all clear."

I appreciate your measured response. I certainly had not dug deep into these daily 3X funds, as the daily/drag aspect seemed (seems?) clearly a problem. But, I can't just pretend the 10yr history of UPRO doesn't exist. I'll have to think more about this.

If it were possible (I recognize it isn't, due to margin limits), would it not be better to be 3x leveraged in your margin account, and simply buy the basic S&P and bond products? Wouldn't that avoid the "drag", and you'd end up better off?
1) The public media web outlets I know do not publish in-depth articles like Spiegel/Zeit/Sueddeutsche. Yes, it makes sense that the public media change their focus as the to follow the focus of the population they serve.

2) Since the topic at hand is limited to Germany, I guess a look at other nations is an argument?
