Take a professional 4-5 day sales course offered in a conference room at a local hotel. Xerox used to have a terrific one; perhaps it still exists. Here is a summary.

1. The key to selling is listening. Your goal is to listen for buyer requirements and then to support them actively with specific products features that meet THEIR needs. (Certain features of your product that your company is proud of, but your prospect is not interested in should never be dwelt upon. Don’t sell features not needed; it shows you’re not listening.)

2. Few products are sold if the customer has nagging objections. It is the job of the salesman to elucidate those objections, which may be guarded or hidden, and to handle them, showing they are either actually unimportant in real operation, or that the product handles the objections in operation.

3. Elucidation of objections is done by open probes: questions that do not have a yes or know answer.

4. Every salesperson must at some point explicitly ASK FOR THE ORDER. Not ASKING FOR THE ORDER is bullshitting with the customer, not selling.

5. There are various ways to ask for the order in a non aggressive, non-confrontational manner. This is called a TRIAL CLOSE. Natural or experienced salespeople are fluid and good at this; rookies need training hence the sales course.

6. At some point, the prospect may give a buying signal. Behavior is very important at this point. The customer must be subtly or not so subtly be supported in his putative decision. Some concrete auxiliary act, such as writing up the order, discussing installation or delivery terms, opening a customer account, even initiating a credit verification, is often done to CLOSE the sale.

7. A good salesperson NEVER SELLS A PRODUCT TWICE. Once the buyer indicates he will order, all product discussion must be kept to an absolute minimum, and engaged only if new objections, perhaps from others in the organization, surface. Sales are lost when a salesperson incorrectly gushes on about his product, only to himself open up new questions and objections inadvertently. It use to be that salespeople did a lot of qualification: finding out precisely who has the authority to buy. This is still very important. But you may have to sell one or a number of technical people, with the decision made by a committee. Every situation is different.

8. Every race, gender, creed, body mass index, personality, and social style can be successful in sales. Sales is a professional activity, not a personality. You can forget all the snickering and stereotypes about “salesmen” right now.

9. Finally there is the urban legend of the highly successful, wealthy salesman, who, in each call would initially be so nervous he would drive around the block 3 times before having the temerity to park and enter the reception area. For 25 years. Keep that in mind and happy selling.
Well, this is the Black Edition of the Cooler Master Hyper 212, so there is that. I too found the article a bit underwhelming. I thought 'cooler cooler' was going to mean a configuration where a secondary cooler was piggybacking on a primary cooler, to get the temps down into the arctic depths. Apparently that idea isn't any good, LOL.
I think you'll find that cutting out 16 registers wins you less area than it costs you in code ROM; and at a given execution speed target, you'll be costing yourself in power and area to make up for it.

There may be some kinds of software where this is not an issue, but for a lot of common types of software, 16 registers just keeps losing.

But isn’t that exactly how mega-successful (but awful) products like Blackboard and WebEx get sold? Or any product where the purchaser is not the user but actually from the procurement department?
Taxation is obsolete as a revenue mechanism for a monetary sovereign. The only value of taxation is to discourage an activity. To discourage the generation of income is profoundly counterproductive.
Read the article. In regards to crypto they expect exactly that. Here is another quote from article, above:

"“Buying a sandwich with cryptocurrency shouldn’t be a taxable event,” says Sean Cover, a New York City cryptocurrency holder who works in finance for a nonprofit group. He says that in 2017 he had more than 500 transactions on several platforms, and it took him 10 hours to prepare his crypto tax forms even though he paid for special software. "
Without public knowledge and access to the media directly, what incentive or pressure does government have to pursue consequences for these crimes?
Show HN: Validate Your Idea Before Writing a Single Line of Code
ACH direct deposit is absolutely not a currency in any sense of the concept. It's a vehicle for USD—direct deposit has no value, it's a transaction. Gift cards can maybe be considered a form of currency, but they're hardly able to be treated as one since you can redeem them in exactly one way, and the issuer needs to count them as a liability in the currency they were issued in (mining a bitcoin doesn't create debt on Satoshi's corporate ledger).

You can argue the semantics all day, but nobody is buying up and trading millions of dollars in Starbucks gift cards. Arguing that these rules are for any purpose other than cryptocurrency is wild. The IRS doesn't create rules for things that aren't a material concern, and cryptocurrency is the only recent "virtual currency" that is a material concern.

Thanks everyone for engaging! Many rich comments Some quick thoughts:

1) I was deliberately leaving open the definition of Enlightenment--how we define Enlightenment, I think, is not the point. It shouldn't matter what is happening inside someone's brain or how they describe their experience if what we are weighing is the worldly impact of that experience, unless that inner experience can be communicated or translated into something socially tangible. If Enlightenment is supposed to bring "infinite compassion," as some describe, what's the actual delta for the un-enlightened as a result?

2) If you think Enlightenment is a good, like any other, than it can be priced. There is an opportunity cost to pursuing it or not. We should be transparent about the tradeoffs that come from pursuing Enlightenment, just as we should the tradeoffs of specializing in any one thing to the detriment of others. I am worried that we talk about Enlightened people the way Plato talks about philosopher kings. This is a great Buddhist parable on this topic: https://www.ibiblio.org/zen/gateless-gate/2.html

3) My article is not trying to make a point; each day I ask questions. My aim is to stimulate thinking, not refute or defend a position, though of course I have biases. No snark is intended. I believe the skepticism I evince is not in opposition to strands of Zen, but consonant with them.

4) There are good reasons to be pluralistic about our definition of Enlightenment, otherwise we become sectarian and intolerant and that is how religious wars start. On the other hand, maybe there is one true Enlightenment--but can you insist on that and not become theocratic? I'm not sure.

Sounds like you're reaching for excuses to dismiss the obvious malware problem on Android.

No one is advocating banning power tools. There are plenty of power tools (Android devices) out there for people who want to buy them. What you're advocating is that Apple shouldn't be allowed to sell their own, safer, tools to people who want to buy those instead.
Its just doesn't seem like the culture.
You don't let your children ride on the highway.

Children aged 7 can drive on the sidewalk in many countries. You can transport bikes on public transit to get to something that resembles nature, then ride there (with no cars in sight).
Selling is 60% about knowing all the details of a product and 40% about how it's going to address the customer's needs. And not taking it personal when you don't make a sale, of course.

There's very little wiggle room in convincing someone who doesn't need a product that they actually do need it, unless the product is exceptionally good and solves at least some of the customer's problems.

I've found over the years that courses and gurus that promise you the ability to sell anything to anyone are mostly bullshit. Find people who know a lot about the product within an industry and learn from them. Pay them for their time if necessary.
Instead of redesigning ALL of our streets to trick drivers to slow down, we could just IDK, slow the cars down? Seems simpler to me tbh.

I remember devouring articles off of HardOCP in the late 90s where people would hook a piezoelectric plate up to the CPU and then a water cooler to the plate, allowing them to send the processor below freezing. There had to carefully glue rubberized cloth to the back side of the motherboard to keep the condensation from forming and wrecking things. Awesome times!
If we are going into such detail then we also need to take into account differing currencies, cost of living, salary distribution, purchasing power parity, sales taxes, property taxes, tax credits, etc.

Just as an example, my salary in the US would be 30-40% higher and denominated in a currency that is worth 34% dollar for dollar.

My experience has been the opposite: things have been much easier and faster to set up in Julia. Yes, "time to first plot" is annoying after you update the plot package, but that's the only annoying thing for me.

Julia is a thinly disguised Lisp, offering all the wizardry associated with that language family - so it's very expressive.
Elm has very different design goals than what I care for. I guess it's not purist FRP anymore but the elm architecture is definitely purist something. The problem in both cases is the purist part. It's way too much ideology and way too much machinery to achieve the simplest things.

Look at this pinnacle of elm architecture for example: https://elm-lang.org/examples/time

All this boilerplate just to display current time in current timezone. The same can be done with three very obvious lines of code in Laminar for example, without any regard for abstract purities, but with the same concrete outcome – a well bahaved h1 element that displays time. Scales to larger components and applications very well too.

Cycle.js has the same problem as old signal-based Elm by the way, and for the same reasons: obsession with purity, and ignoring that observables are a poor match for virtual DOM. You can have one without the other, and have a much simpler system. If you already use observables, virtual DOM adds nothing of value, only a way to satisfy the irrational demand for purity.
I suspect one factor here is that the US has, for practical purposes, no passenger intercity rail network, and has a somewhat less developed budget airline market.

That said, I find it notable that the average price of new cars in the US has typically been rising faster than income over the last decade or so. This would indicate, bluntly, effective advertising, rather than resources, being a big driver of the huge car thing. Average new car price in the US is creeping up on average annual income. This isn’t just an American problem, incidentally; it’s happening in a good few countries.
The Church-Turing proposition carries an implicit challenge: find an algorithm to evaluate a function which is not Turing computable. Because it can be challenged in this way, it’s not just a definition (mere stipulation how to use the word “computable”).
We know about the KT extinction layer (which contains a lot of iridium, a potentially extremely useful but rare metal) but attribute it to meteorite ejecta. It also coincided with large scale climate and environmental changes. That's the only candidate I know of as a non-geologist.

Generally. I shower when I notice I start to smell. I live in a subtropical climate in summer (40 degrees and above, 90% humidity), so daily showers in summer are a must.

Having grown up in the UK where I suspect showering when needed, and not as a daily rituaual. I believe this is common. I recall a study that mentioned Europeans in moderate or cold climates only shower a few times a week, I suspect this is the same in the UK... though of course after sports I definitely always shower, no one wants a sweaty rugby boy rolling around in bed covered in other people's grime.

I shower in Winter, Spring and Autumn when, well. When my underarms and crotch are... Clammy. There's really no way to put that delicately.

The number of people in Australia who religiously shower every day, shampoo every day, even when their body doesn't need it. I find quite strange.

As another comment added, I will never put my self in a position where anyone can smell my body odour but why shower so frequently if your body isn't telling you, "it's a bit dirty over here, I could do with a rinse?".

I briefly dated some one who was diagnosed with OCD. Things didn't work out for us because amongst other things her idea of cleanliness was a whole bunch of topical treatments for her face and body over the course of 30 minutes before bed. She'd apply this 'skin oil' that made her face glisten. And would later complain that her skin was breaking out in spots because 'something isn't working with her skin care'.

The idea that your skin can and will look after it's self without us interrupting it's balance, was foreign to her. To this day I still just clean my intimate parts and arm pits when I shower. And clean the other parts of my body when there's physical dirt there. Her situation just made me sad. Her fears and obsessive compulsions about what 'health and hygiene' should be, were targeted my unscrupulous companies deliberately selling products that she absolutely did not need.

I really wish the standard penalty for that would be "you lose your motorcycle license for 5+ years and the motorcycle is crushed into a cube before your eyes". Not "here's a 100 EUR fine and you have to undo the modifications, show us that you did it, and then put them back on".

It's completely unnecessary, hard to do accidentally, and a great way for one single person to affect thousands of others in a single day.
The range in which all three are in car seats is still very small. Even with one child a year, the quickest "regular" speed, you would have a five year period with three child seats of the fifteen years that all three would be underage.
Frist, we are talking about RISC-V. The ISA is not finished. So yes, it will take time, but that's not the point.

The author didn't say it would take a long time, he said that "it won't be in the smaller chips".

And "even in the biggest ones for a good while".
But what is "for a good while" when nobody is already using RISC-V for performance?

Half the us geographically, not by population. You're really exaggerating the nation's dependency and how few people half the metro areas of the US can serve. That's a massive number.
That's a specific (I think over represented) use-case. When I had my first kid I considered something large. Looking around I saw people buy large cars after having their first kid and by the time they needed it (driving around friends, hockey equipment, etc) it was 5-7 years old and probably getting swapped out anyway. I'm happy I switched to a 4-door and went with a smaller car. I can carry much more and longer lumber using a roof rack on top of a subcompact than I can inside a larger vehicle. If I need something larger I rent it or have it delivered. Using a bike rack outside the car is much easier than storing it inside. For road trips I'm pretty sure I've seen its cheaper to rent something instead of putting miles on your daily vehicle--so you get a nicer car that's more appropriately sized.

The average number of kids in the US is 1.9 and the median age interval is 2-3 years. That's not that many years of carrying around kids and their gear; one, maybe two cars in a lifetime.

On the other hand, so many Americans drive by themselves, long distances, every day, in giant cars. A lot of people like larger cars because it makes them "feel safe." Or people buy the largest vehicle they can "just in case." I was taken aback when I found out about 10 years when a friend had to run his credit card twice to fill up because it capped the sale at $50 and when gas prices went up he couldn't fill his tank for that.

I feel like I'm the weirdo in the US for preferring smaller cars. I couldn't stand poor pickup of fleet vehicles a decade ago, but as long as they have decent pickup I really love the maneuverability, the ease of parking in smaller spots, and the mileage of a smaller car.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't get that from rozab's comment at all. I figured the point was something like, "Why is this project unique? Maybe the time would have been better spent contributing to an established project that has already accomplished these basic features." Which seems like an honest question.
Excellent! I linked to this story in my other comment: https://www.ibiblio.org/zen/gateless-gate/2.html

The point is that nobody should claim to be free from causality (though maybe the esoteric interpretation is that this is not because one can't be, but because the non-Enlightened will misuse or misunderstand the teaching). We are always culture-bound, and thus always biased, and thus mistake-prone, even if or when we achieve samadhi.

Rust is a systems language. For UIs, you want to trade a little performance for ergonomics, thus you'd want a different language. Just as one example, closures are very useful when writing UIs and you need a garbage collector to use them in their fullest potential.

Of course, you can still write your low level bitblt functions in Rust if you need to (though these functions are probably best left to a GPU). But an entire application and its UI, then you're probably pushing it too far.

Great that you like it, but most people don't. The much higher housing prices in cities demonstrate that people will live there if they can afford it. American suburbs are an artifact first of all of racism in the earlier part of the 20th century, and now they are driven by profiteering by city homeowners who won't allow enough housing to be built in cities.

This forces people to live in bulldozed wildlands because it is cheaper, due to the fact that there isn't anyone to show up to zoning board meetings to block new construction there.
Add some metrics to the app itself, I'd wager. Then you'll get people complaining about how the app (or app store) is spying on your every action, and phoning home.
