I strongly doubt anyone will ever catch up with TSMC or Samsung at this point. Intel might still have a chance, but it seems to be waning.

Semiconductor manufacturing is very unique in that it is easily the hardest thing we do right now. Even if China snipes all the talent, tools, and process designs, they still need mountains of precise parameters that are unique to the specific installation of each tool at the specific site. Tuning these parameters relative to the process technology can take years and requires the kind of long term, open collaboration & innovation sessions that the CCP seems fundamentally incompatible with.

There are simply so many reasons this type of thing is virtually impossible to steal. If you were to ever physically tour a fully-automated semiconductor factory & experience the depth of the system engineering required to tie everything together, you would realize there is nothing as complex as that system anywhere else in the discipline of engineering.

Getting more leverage would help a lot indeed. Look for some better-paying clients. If you can demonstrate results, prove you can get the job done, you should easily be able to make multiple times that amount for international clients. And once you've got better paying clients, you've got all the leverage you need to ask for more, because you can afford to walk away.

Of course you can still try to cut your friend out of the loop. If he's not providing any value, then working directly for the client will already be a nice boost for you.
I consider automation to be part of "economy of scale".

I don't think salary levels are necessarily the chief way Amazon squeezes their workers harder than competitors - you're right that their minimum wage in the US is higher than the law mandates - but I would also love to see evidence of what their competition is paying. I'd bet they're not on the federal minimum wage, either!

It's not all automation though! Amazon is notorious for extreme work pressure. Too few and too short breaks, for example. This will absolutely not fly in Sweden. Not adapting properly to COVID-19 is another example of putting profits before working conditions.
Women don't need infinite likes, their match rate is very high so 100 likes per day is more than enough to get more conversations than they can handle. So in practice women already have infinite likes for free since they aren't used up anyway. Men's match rate is often less than 1%, so they need hundreds of likes just to talk to a single woman, without infinite likes chances are they will use up all their likes for the day and not get a single match.

So, if we take that into account women get maybe 25 free matches per day and men maybe 0.5 free matches per day. Men pay so they can get more matches per day, women don't. The service cost is per match and not per like. A man liking 1000 candidates costs as much as a woman rejecting 1000 candidates.
See no evil :) There could be non-shady reasons to do this.

Besides, I think this statement is just meant to give a sense of the kind of processing that can be done, and the scale it can reach.

It's relatively expensive in the UK too (my initial diagnosis was close to £1,000), but I believe the benefits are very noticeable.

Here is what I might do if I wanted to cap at $400 (assume $400 is two hours) before finding out whether I need to do any more.

Before I book the appointment:

1. Find the most commonly used clinical assessment tool[1] and commit to undertaking it, with a specific emphasis on any corroborative components (i.e. friends and family who have known you for years helping to share experiences of you in childhood)

2. Research qualitatively: e.g. read essays from people who have had diagnoses and treatment and see how much of it chimes with you.

3. A useful experiment I did was to go to the ADHD subreddit and, ignoring the ebullient teenage blogger-type posts, make a list of posts and experiences which closely correlated to my own.

4. Write down your own summary of your experience and why you're seeking some help. Not necessary ADHD-specific, but what are the things you're aware of that you want to improve on in your life? What are the consequences you experience from those areas?

At the appointment:

1. Explain that you are aware diagnosis of most conditions requires a multi-stage evaluation from a psychiatrist, and that you am committed to taking the process seriously but have concerns about both the cost (hence doing a lot of research and being very organised, which runs contrary to some people's expectations of ADHD!), and the risk of getting a doctor who simply writes prescriptions without a second thought.

2. Tell the psychiatrist that you would like a preliminary recommendation from them on whether it's worth continuing with assessment and/or treatment after two sessions, and you'd appreciate it if they could do their work as methodically as possible but sensitively to the fact that you don't want to initially deploy more than $400 to the task.

3. Share with them that you have researched DIVA or another clinical assessment for ADHD because it feels like the symptoms of that chime with you, and you wanted to be sure it was worth your time coming in at all.

4. Tell them you're giving them this information because you don't want them to think you're doing stage management or trying to score some drugs, and commit to letting them run the session from there.

5. They will likely ask you to explain what has motivated you to attend in the first place. What 'thing' happened to get you off your ass and into their office?

I think it's very probable that you can find someone who understands that this is a debilitating condition in many people and which also needs a sympathetic approach to diagnosis.

The other thing to remember is that there are multiple clinical assessments because many people have comorbidities and it requires unpicking. If that isn't the case for you then you don't need hours and hours of assessments.

Feel free to reach out on my email (in profile) if you have Q's or I can be helpful.

Age is different because it is much more equitable. Everyone was young and most people will grow to be old so most people will see both the upside and downside of fair-risk pricing by age.

Not the same with gender or race, you're stuck with what you're born with (statistically insignificant numbers of transitions notwithstanding).

Every person in this discussion understands how language is used in this context. The discussion is on the merits of whether we ought to use a word in a specific context. Appeals to authority like saying “but everybody uses that word” are completely beside the point.

You’re in 100% agreement with myself and GP if you say that “poaching” is commonly used to mean trying to hire someone from another company. But that has nothing to do with what GP is talking about. They are saying they really wish people wouldn’t use that term, despite it being commonly used.

Understood?

The fact that it's possible to not build an "app that looks native or actually looks good" doesn't imply that it's impossible to build one that does, though.

And I actually tend to prefer wxWidgets, as this wraps the platform's native widgets proper, whereas Qt reimplements many (all?) widgets, but attempts to offer a native look-and-feel.

Regardless: Actual GUI-frameworks have huge advantages to using a browser, like:

- Better performance

- Visual and UX consistency (HCI, people!) on a shared platform

- Smaller sized apps

- Drastically reduced resource and energy usage

I'm not a backer, just a curious gamer.

My perspective is that they're losing too much momentum, and looks like the game (if ever will have a full release), will be for a niche of the niche that started following the project.

I mean, how will they even market this among triple A titles budgets? They can't even take the ride for the "new space age" hype from media entertainment/tech achievements.

Part of the strength of this type of "business model" is precisely the backing of a community that want things to happen... but like you said, they're stretching it beyond what's reasonable.

I can only assume that with this development budget - which is in the AAA level - they must need AAA sales level, right? Or are they marking up this game for 200 USD annual subscriptions (assuming is 10x20 USD (avg season pass for AAA gamees?? no idea)?

I think you are missing the point just as much as people who make cultural claims. This whole thing about racism is all purely pretense, psychological abuse and degradation in order to wage war and domination and invasion and conquest upon Europeans the world over. It's no different than an abusive spouse saying "I wouldn't hit you if you did things right" … a pretense for being abusive and evil.

What people do not realize is that this is part of a plan to establish a new kind of aristocracy and feudalistic system the globe over. You will soon enough only be allowed to have approved thoughts and approved culture and own approved things … as decreed by our masters. And you will be swiftly dealt with if you disagree or even dare question your masters.

THAT is the point of all this racism stuff, denigration of the enemy to spread demoralization and deracinate European culture … a cultural, psychological, ethnic, and eventually genetic and physical genocide that is being perpetrated right under your nose.

> I have trouble seeing how I would "get better" at predicting stuff solely through this, but perhaps forcing myself to think it through would be sufficient.

I think the approach would work well in the "false positive" case, i.e. that you are always fairly certain some kind of activity is worth your time, but it ends up disappointing you every time.

On the flipside, if thinking through something makes you come up with a low expected value, you probably won't do it and won't know. But then again this can also be a pointer that you should maybe "dip your toes in" first and not commit too much time to something you don't see as promising.

I did the same my first winter break of college years ago. I think I'd preferred I had learned Colemak or Workman, but the benefit is much smaller so I never bothered (it's a great layout for thumbs though).

However, this is precisely why I buy and use QWERTY keyboards. When I'm first installing a machine or I'm dropped into ash because of a hard drive issue or that new shiny game has the layout set up for QWERTY instead of reading the current layout, I know I can always look down to get my bearings long enough to swap the layout/control or do that quick debug.

In the end we’ve rolled laughing on the floor including him and it made a good memory.

Having said that, irrespective of the Application layer, all BT based mesh networks are inherently fragile.

There are large performance variations accross BT chipsets (old/new and different manufacturers) and externals like BT firmware, OS variations, battery level, RF blocking/reflecting structures nearby, Law enforcement jammers, the number of nodes available (the more nodes in a narrow area the more fault tolerant it is), all of these factors affect the performance of such a network.

The point is, OP is asking for help to scope out what are the options. None of them are great, but the best we can do is to bring forward the known options and hope that those struggling in this situation are able to implement whatever they need to remain safe.

At this point, it's very difficult to know if the people who want protests to stop (even if they hate their government) are more numerous than the people who want the protests to continue and grow until the government can be replaced (with, from what I know in Belarus, is extremely unlikely - given that there's zero opposition prepared to take over the Government). But at least for now, things seem to be calming down instead of escalating.
I would avoid a specialist ADHD centre.

What you're really looking for (in my opinion) is a consultant psychiatrist (i.e. a senior, experienced psychiatrist) who supplements their NHS commitments with locum-style private practice work. (You know how you can use Babylon Health to speak to a real GP on the phone immediately for £10? And they can give you a prescription? Like that, but obviously clinical psychiatry requires meeting in person a lot.)

I think specialist ADHD centres run the risk of having a hammer and thinking every patient is a nail, if you know what I mean, and they also are geared up for the kind of deep clinical assessments which are often not required in adults (imagine the nightmare of trying to diagnose ADHD in a child with comorbidities).

Once you have titrated you can move from a private prescription to an NHS prescription which reduces ongoing costs significantly.

> just to be told you're lazy

Do the research into other people's experiences and think about your own downsides and consequences of e.g. inaction/inattentiveness/inability to focus. You can also check out the DIVA assessment which many psychiatrists will use. A good psychiatrist will also cut through the crap and tell you whether they think it's likely you have ADHD early in the process. They do not want to glean hundreds of pounds for you in order to say "Yup all fine here!".

Ping me on email and I'll share specifics of my consultant.

Upon reading "Surely you must be joking Mr. Feynman !" and "What do you care what other people think ?", I have become somewhat of a fan of Mr. Richard Feynman. (Despite it being against his idea about idolizing people).

But throughout the two books, his relationship with his sister, Joan Feynman, was an extremely intriguing once. They were both brilliant, and they both encouraged each other.

I got the impression that he, being the person to refuse authority and conforming with the pre-established, always came back to his sister for an opinion on how to handle "mere humans". And it showed in the second part of his story about the Challenger investigation.

Closing the Loop on Event Data Collection with Iteratively – Episode 145
While Flink is a fully-featured stream processing framework I think there's some notable differences. Off the top of my mind:

- Flink uses Zookeeper for metadata and coordination, Jet
doesn't require any external systems for resilience.

- Flink uses RocksDB and HDFS for checkpointing/snapshotting, Jet stores it in distributed, replicated in-memory store.

- Flink allocates operators to slots, while Jet uses green threads/cooperative multi-threading. This means you can run many concurrent streaming jobs on the same cluster, with very low overhead.

- Jet is basically a single, self-contained JAR. It's all you need to run a production-grade service (+ some connectors, if you'd like)

- Jet can scale up/down with very little friction. You start a couple of processes and they will form a cluster automatically. Kill a couple of the processes, and the cluster goes on.

That said, Flink have a great set of overall features, especially around persistence and huge states. This is another area we're currently investing in as well as SQL support.
Why would you want a device with two screens where you can only look at one of them at a time? It'd make a lot more sense to have a single screen and a switch (maybe in hardware?) to toggle between "screen 1" and "screen 2".
Is that because they want to reach e.g. the Chinese market? It would be the perfect showcase. Starlink could (and imho should) create a "dissenter backpack" with a starlink kit (Terminal and wifi hotspot) plus batteries for a few hours of unplugged operation.
