> We worship efficiency. <> Multitask; text on one device while emailing on a second, and perhaps conversing on a third. Efficiency is seen as good. Inefficiency as wasteful.

The premise is total bullshit. No one thinks multitasking is good.

Barry Schwartz consistently doesn't get it, but he's good at presenting "Unpopular opinion's" style articles.

People say multi-tasking is great! But it's not! Upvote if you agree.

Efficiency is why your baby doesn't get stuck in the womb killing two people.

Bot sniping on GrubHub is scary, this is an efficiency that actually worries me. But it's not within this articles scope.
It's pretty easy to start, you can still do exactly the same setup as you had just using exactly the same stuff (spin up a VM, install stuff, go). But then start using the cloud storage instead of disk, it takes minor code changes, etc. And go from there.

However you pay a LOT more for the same performance. A rented bare metal server for £700 a year will cost you like £7000 on AWS or Azure to get the same sort of performance. The performance of the cheap servers in the £20-£50 range is absolutely abysmal.

Unless you have a good reason to use cloud computing, like actually needing to ramp up, ramp down, or large storage needs, avoid it. Unless you just need to be able to put it on your CV.
> Sample size is not everything "Literary Digest poll was also one of the largest and most expensive polls ever conducted, with a sample size of around 2.4 million people" The large size by itself does not guarantee correctness https://www.math.upenn.edu/~deturck/m170/wk4/lecture/case1.h...

But isn't that really only the case when you're trying to use statistical inference to generalize from a sample? It seems like the right way to think about this poll is as a direct measurement of a floor of support for the challenger (others have said that is >2x the her official vote count), and the right statistical question is to ask is what's the probability that the official results are true given that floor.
I'd argue that ultra-casual games like Candy Crush have so little in common with "core games" that it's not particularly useful to consider them the same thing.

It's much closer to that than any alternative I am aware of, but that's one guarantee you don't have. It's important to limit your substituters (binary caches) to trusted servers, because Nix does not and cannot verify that the binary it receives corresponds to the source, only that the remote server claims it does. Even if the binary does correspond to the source, the build process may have picked up small details about the build system, meaning a local build would produce a different binary. Even if the build process does not pick up any such details, many packages do not have deterministic builds, meaning they might produce different binaries even if you build them multiple times in succession on your own computer.

> I've found "efficiency as the opposite of stability" a very powerful concept to think about

I think this concept misses capacity. I my opinion, it is crucial that you always leave some over-capacity to have stability (lets say, you are running at most at 80% capacity). If you then increase your efficiency without sacrifying your buffer capacity, everything is fine. But as soon as your try to run at more than 80% capacity to be more efficient, this slightest problem could have devastating effects.

> Will I be able to see who has notifications on or off?

As of now you will not, but we have been asked this question by other users and are looking for feedback on the right way forward.

> Relatedly, if someone has notifications off, is there way a way to notify them anyway?

We want to introduce @mentions so that in larger group conversations you can highlight messages for a particular participant, this would notify that user even if they were not receiving notifications for every message.

> If someone who is not on plummail signs up, will the conversations they were previously included in be in their inbox?

Yes

> You should put an invite link on the bottom of the fallback emails

All fallback emails allow a user, new or otherwise, to immediately access that conversation on plum mail.

> so when/how would you be notified that the message failed? Would there be a way to fix the email and resend?

If we get a bounce back from an email address you will be able to see that in the conversation.

> When someone is added to the conversation I assume they get the full history?

Correct, if they are added to a conversation with history, they will be able to access the conversation from the fallback message this will give access to all previous messages.

> How do you get my inbound email? Do I forward it from gmail to you? Do you act as my MX recipient?

For now we don't handle inbound emails sent directly to your inbox. plum mail is the place for your group conversations that benefit from our unique features. We don't see much value in forwarding other transactional emails into plum mail. But we might look into it in the future.

> If I was discussing "board game culture"

No-one's talking about 'board game culture', though. This is about whether people play video games. If you were talking about the board games people play, Catan would be a barely visible blip; it'd be all about things like Monopoly. Now if you were talking about people who consider playing games part of their identity, I'd be inclined to agree (though there are edge cases; Pokemon Go falls into both 'casual game' and 'game that people get a bit weird about', for instance), but that's not at all what this survey is about.

EDIT: Also, well, media evolves. If you look at the sort of TV that's popular now, a lot of it is dramatically different to how it was in, say, the 80s and 90s. Someone who'd been in a coma since before Seinfeld came out would find modern sitcoms (with their lack of laugh tracks), and high production value dramas with multi-season story arcs (barely existed until this century), and reality shows, extremely weird. But they'd recognise that it was TV. And some 80s-style content still exists; it's just largely not what is popular right now.
A lot of the interfaces for the pilots add complexity that could be reduced in the case of an autonomous aircraft, not just weight or complexity of interface. But actual complexity in the design and development stages. They also add constraints on expanding the capability of the system as new controls have to go somewhere, either displacing existing ones, changing the "buttonology" of the existing interfaces, or being tacked on to a mostly empty (hah) corner of the cockpit.

If we didn't have to care about those things, changing the existing infrastructure in an aircraft would be greatly simplified (not simple, but simplified).
Didn't say that's how modern aircraft do it. They dont. I envisioned future drone aircraft that behave like an aircraft and missile hybrid with a smaller radar cross section.

A large part of getting a missile to target is predicting where the target will be. Zig zagging hard and rapidly ruins the prediction and you don't have to do it all the time- only when it knows it's illuminated.
I'm sure they're really hurting for that cent, you think?

I cannot afford a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar unexpected expense.

Right, which demonstrates that the expected value of insurance can be positive in terms of utility even if it's negative in dollars. For most individuals, a $100k loss is more than 100 times as bad as a $1020 premium. Meanwhile the insurance provider can absorb individual losses and still come out ahead overall.

Oh dear, I want to rant.

Efficiency is a dimensionless ratio of energy in to energy out. Economics, as formulated, has little to say about efficiency and lots to say about preference relations on utility functions (the texts do tend to hand-wavingly waffle about how markets attain "efficiency" through hypothetically rational actors maximizing utility functions etc., if you want a giggle check out the "fundamental theorems of welfare").

I actually read the fine article, and didn't give up after the first couple of paragraphs.

And in paragraph the third is introduced friction. I dunno, maybe it's because I actually study science, but friction is a well defined thing and the coefficient of same is another _dimensionless_ variable. It seems every time economists want to incorporate a notion from science proper they go for the dimensionless stuff because that way they don't have to go through the whole tiresome rigmarole of ... dimensional analysis. It makes me feel like Tantacrul criticising UI's (check him out on youtube, he's both funny and informative).

Anyway, efficiency is not dangerous, efficiency will actually allow the survivors of the Anthropocene Disaster make it through the coming disaster. Slowing down is not a bad notion because it means most humans can spend more time thinking (quite efficient actually) and less time haring around the planet distracting themselves from the vapidity of their vanity. However life is not better because it is slower, it's better because humans appreciate what an extraordinary (literally and figuratively) opportunity it is to be alive.

As insurance policy against disaster stop listening to economists because they observably don't have a clue (they can't make accurate and meaningful predictions), instead study science, especially physics, because these meanings are measured against reality and the resulting predictions are highly reliable (TANSTAAFL < 2TD).

That's a big issue. There is a surprising amount of back and forth between objects in a single step of gameplay/AI.

Maybe I’m missing something, but how can immortality, even a theoretical one be achieved? Say you find a way to cure all diseases and reverse aging, you can still be killed or die in an accident. Say you find a way to transfer your consciousness to a machine (ignoring all philosophical implications). That machine can still be shut down and destroyed. All you get is just a longer life, which still ends at some point. And given the fact that it’s not time that actually matters, but the perception of time, one might still view their life as being short.

I find the article a bit naive, this question lies deep in the realm of philoshopy. What if technology and life merge at some point? It’s not hard to imagine that technology and life might become indistinguishable in the far future.

I don't think you need a source. It's pretty obvious that is the case.

Not only are wealthier people, or people from wealthier families, more likely to be able to take the time to start a business, but they are also able to try and fail many times until they succeed.

But I would guess there is a fall off when you get to a certain level of wealth. A very wealthy heir would be less likely to be driven to start a business.

So you need just enough poverty to create desire and urgency, but not so much that you have to stay stuck at a dead end job to make ends meet.

I came from a middle class home and while my parents didn't ever give me much money, they were always there as a safety net. If things didn't work out, I would always have a hot meal and a bed to sleep ok if I needed it.

Not to mention, they were able to co-sign on my first home loan and paid for half of my first car. Generational wealth - whether it is in cash, land, homes, education, or even just good credit, is a powerful thing.
They will want this until they have equal or greater capacity than the US/SpaceX, and we now know the CCP doesn't stick to treaties they agree to - e.g. Hong Kong's independence - so they're just dishonestly posturing.
> If that was the case, then why to pay a recruiter to actively reach out to me?

Recruiters are not paid up front, nor for the number of candidates they bring.

Recruiters are paid when a candidate accepts the job, so it’s in their interest to throw as many candidates as possible at the client in order to increase their chances of closing one.

Why? Because recruiters are not paid a fixed amount per se, but 15-25% of your first year’s salary.
