I think it will be nice to stay as it is for the most part, but for a comment of your own you should have the ability to enable notifications for direct answers. It would be really useful when I have follow up questions.

Maybe add a limit on how many 'followed threads' you could have active at the same time, so they discourage automating this behavior and make you really think if the thread is that important for you at the moment.
Almost all Internet users have an organization between them and the people they would communicate with. Hell, your registrar can punt you for your content, which means that it's a vanishingly small number of people, those on the dark web and a few other places, who have access to a truly decentralized internet.

Think lawmakers and operating within the law can be untangled as a separate topic, part of the problem appearing is that the platforms are now using their own set of rules.

This becomes a problem when the platforms are essentially the gateways for the mainstream to access information. The early days of the web had a bit of 'build it and they will come'- if you had something interesting it would eventually get seen and linked to. Now you have to 'pay to play'. There are numerous stats about how much % per dollar goes to Facebook and Google when advertising. If you don't pay, you're much, much less likely to be seen.

The platforms are in a position of power and perhaps regulation can curtail that power. We are essentially looking at the information on the web via a lens that the platforms and their algos provide, and there aren't that many dominant platforms to provide the number of perspectives we perhaps need.

It's easier than ever to get content online thanks to the likes of Wordpress, but harder than ever to get people to see it.

Most webmasters who have an inkling of some information about SEO are too scared to link out in fear of receiving a penalty from Google. Now social media platforms are acting as the Internet police. This kind of thinking stifles the way the web was supposed to work.
Loads of companies - especially financial processors - don't want anything to do with adult sites, so if you're in that industry you're already up for a challenge.

I attended public schools for 12 years and you could not be more right! If the school had put me alone in a room with some textbooks all day with the option to go outside and exercise occasionally, I would have vastly preferred that to the painful boredom of being forced to sit in a chair 8 hours a day without movement or socialization.
Standardization does not work like this. Usually the consideration is that the standard standardizes the greatest common subset, subject to some give and take, of available implementations, which at that time included more than the Korn shell.

There's an entire rationale that accompanies the the Single Unix Specification, whose section on the shell command language quite clearly explains the basis for the standard. Talking about how POSIX based things on the Korn shell is to not even have read the very first sentence of that rationale section.

You can get current cursor position, and you can render things at arbitrary positions on the screen. Making this not possible would probably unnecessarily restrict your ability to build even actually useful things.

Although hiding the real mouse cursor probably shouldn't be allowed without a permission dialog imo.

It's culture it ain't science and it isn't a job skill.

Negotiating how you build things with the rest of the team, especially when there are differing opinions about how to solve particular problems, or what programming approach to use, absolutely is a job skill. You have to contribute to that 'culture', or manage it if you're leading. It's a very important skill.
That's not quite right either.

People in camp (2) don't miss the risk of overwhelmed hospitals. We remember that we were constantly told they were about to be overwhelmed back in April and they never were. Sweden has the lowest ICU capacity in Europe by far, yet never had overwhelmed hospitals despite very visibly turning its back on the policies supposedly required to avoid it. How can this be reconciled with there being genuine risk?

It's apparent when you look at what happened back then that there was no actual risk of anything except running out of ventilators, a problem that was in turn caused by the panic - doctors were told this was a very deadly disease so were putting people on ventilators unnecessarily, partly because ventilation ensures all the air a patient breathes out is filtered, so they thought it was a way to keep hospitals clean. Once doctors realised ventilation was doing more harm than good and the age skews of the patients started to become publicly known, they backed off the ventilator use and there was never any shortage, of either ventilators nor beds.
The cursor in input field at the bottom is blinking too, making user think it's focused when in reality is not.

It's quite disappointing that it took a Google UX design lead to come up with something like this.

Does Intel only sold the NAND manufacturing parts to SK Hynix or it also includes the SSD controllers IP? Because most of Intel SSD performance came from the controller not the NAND flash themselves, in fact Intel usually lag behind in NAND flash manufacturing.

Sure, I love chat support interfaces and use them all the time. If I want support, that is. But not when I hit your site for the first time and just getting acquainted with your product. I just want to see your product materials at my own pace in peace. If you want me to see something different, change those materials to whatever you want your first impression to be. But don't accost me with a "can i help you" before I have even had 2 minutes to read your product description. That's almost like if a grocery store employee greets you at the door and follows you around as you browse the fruit section asking "can I help you" -- I'd probably leave that grocery store pretty quickly.

Popups of all kinds, I despise. There should NEVER be any unsolicited modals. That includes chat boxes, "please subscribe to our newsletter", GDPR warnings, and all of them. They all interrupt my attention flow severely. If you're lucky, I will inspect your DOM and will block your modal with injected CSS/JS rules, reload, and keep browsing your site. If you're unlucky, I'll leave and look for other competing sites that are a more pleasant experience. I have clicked out of several sites before that had a stupid "can i help you" Intercom popup. On a few of those occasions I actually replied "no go away" before leaving the site, hoping that they would take the feedback for the future.
I have to wonder what we could accomplish as a species if we weren't having these kinds of ridiculous arguments....

Burger and sausage do not imply "meat" to me, simply a particular shape or arrangement of the food item.
> How is the hyper-competitive, low-margin, commodity NAND business core to what Intel does or aspires to do?

Because that "commodity" gives a company a steady revenue stream. The less diversification a business has, the more vulnerable it is in case of issues (e.g. the fiasco that is the new fab process sizes), market demand shifts or other external events (wars, tariff / trade wars, pandemics, economic crises).

Intel is now trading that revenue stream for a one time cash injection, probably to get back on their feet regarding the mentioned new fab processes - but if that bet fails, they're out of all the money they spent AND don't have that revenue stream anymore.

In my opinion this is a dangerous short-sighted move driven by bean counters with next-quarterly-only incentives...
Thanks! I really enjoyed working with OptiX. BVH re-building potentially being faster than the associated transfer cost is something that I didn't consider, I'll have to try that out and compare.

As for the lack of GAS compaction, I added IAS compaction to squeeze all of the beach's debris into a single snapshot, and just never got to GAS compaction. Right now each rendering pass is only computing one sample per pixel- so in addition to reducing the BVH footprints, I'm hoping I can also hide the transfer costs by computing many more samples per pass.

Question was did any, and a lot did. Most didn't.
And yet there's a ton of information that is rejected from Wikipedia itself, which found a place on e.g. Wikia and a few other sites like that - mainly about gaming, but also about subjects like D&D, etc.

People need to stop turning their preferred X into replacements for the lack of religion. Apparently some people are just built to need this sort of thing and in absence of a compelling religion they turn whatever interests them into one, with all the obnoxious traits that made people go atheist in the first place.
And very little of what they did would be possible without writing and reading. Peasants did not entered Russian politics in meaningful way at all. Simply, being illiterate to the point where you cant even improve on super behind farming also makes you pretty crappy at anything politics. Peasants attacked local rules here and there, then being bloodily suppressed wherever things got tight. That was it.

The monarchy, the military, the civil service, they were all "intelligentsia" too. "Liberal bourgeoisie" and capitalists were "intelligentsia" too. There were freaking 5 armies in Russia civil war. All 5 were led by people able to read and write. You all make it sound as if "intelligentsia" were uniformly Leninist or something. They were not, that is just the army that won. And I would be even super surprised if communists were the most educated of them all.

Yet also, the Russia monarchy was not exactly stable democratic functioning place until Lenin started revolution by the end of WWI out of nowhere.

I honestly hate when people who are supposedly against communist somehow adopt communist framing in completely absurd ways, down to blaming "intelligentsia" for whatever they perceive bad and down to attributing whole of Russian civil war to communists. I would really like to see someone use the term intelligentsia for like American journalist, teachers, or programmers. Lets all assume that all college educated people in American hold the same opinions. It is that stupid term.
Not really. It's not like gambling and friends in high places are the only options when it comes to laundering. All you need is something that allows you to funnel small and untraceable revenue streams, while spending as few money as possible, through a business that looks legitimate from the outside.

Now, obviously the tax authorities around the Globe are probably far more experienced than I am when it comes to things like this, and I don't think it's a coincidence that there's governmental resistance to cryptocurrencies; they authorities are busy trying to get rid of cash already, and cryptocurrencies are additional vectors allowing anonymous transactions.

> the parts of school that are social are not necessarily good

Most definitely - however it's also worth bearing in mind that if you happen to fall into a more traditional life path afterwards, those social elements will rear their heads again.

The sink or swim mentality of school social interactions sadly mimics quite a lot of interactions post school as well. In an ideal world my shitty experience at school wouldn't have been relevant as an adult, but it has actually helped navigate quite a number of toxic situations.

As sad a world as it is, I'm (somewhat perversely) glad I was able to learn how to cope with those as a teen.

Ahh thanks for sharing that. That’s good to know. Super disappointed Gruber didn’t update his post with that information, especially given his recent campaign against editorial integrity.
I miss books. The kind of "Encyclopedia of" style that had pictures, text, diagrams, and maps that were all part of a whole. Written for a general audience of curious people and not needing to cater to such a wide audience as Wikipedia.
They do not. They have in the past removed public access to pages due to robots.txt changes.

> School is excellent at inuring children to boredom, obeying authority and pointless busywork.

Which is an exact mirror of the professional world that most people will face later. School system is here to push a national narrative on people (which is not a bad point per se, as it builds cohesion), and prepare them to be mindless drone in a corporate environment. In short it serves society needs, not individuals.

The government ended up paying over $200k for each job created.

It sickens me what people will do to push their own little kingdom of power. This guy wanted to get reelected so he was willing to give away $3 billion of people's hard earned money and screw up hundreds of people's lives (all the students and others that were hired, left better jobs, then got fired).
It's also about financial engineering, financial engineers proselytise people into believing the idea that all business of a company need to be in a single profitability band, or the financial magical doom will come.
That's not an argument. That's just contradiction!
> Discourse is so polarized, that nobody can say

A large part of it is signaling through terminology. If you use terms such as "cancel culture" and "liberals", it's pretty clear you're either a right-wing US citizen or someone who wishes they were one.

There are definitely people that are able to discuss certain social trends becoming a problem without using dogmatic terminology, which is where the conversation becomes interesting for all participants. As opposed to a horrifying journey plumbing the depths of polarised discourse.
Here is is in action, for our younger readers:

Yup, the search function in Hangouts has always been and still is hilariously broken.
I find those chat boxes to be completely irritating. Doubly so if it doesn't go straight to a human, there are ones that want to shove you through the crappy zendesk "are you sure this helpdesk article doesn't answer your question" flow.

Anything that pops up and interrupts me while I'm reading something else is pretty much a deal breaker. Having to stop what I'm doing to hit a little X and get back to it has cost a bunch of companies business from me.

Having said all that, there are a couple of companies that use them in the correct way. The one that springs to mind is xolo.io. Xolo is a one stop shop for my business (expenses, invoicing, tax accounting) and has chat staffed by humans and it's a fantastic way to interact with them (as an existing customer).

I message them, and assuming it's within business hours*, I get a rapid response and answer to my question / solution to my problem.
No, it wasn't. Lazy salesmanship did. Go and look how much margin a distributor still have wholesale for mainstream NAND flash.

> There should NEVER be any unsolicited modals […] GDPR warnings

Hah. You expect sites to not track you just because you are there for the first time? If that were the case there’d probably be no GDPR.
Yep the following part is fine with me, it's hiding the mouse cursor that is alienating.

I would have thought it to be OK for a website to pick from a few standard system cursors (pointer, hand, I-bar, move, resize, etc.) but not no cursor.
I think the problem is the ability to interoperate.

Big walled garden owners have no obvious interest in letting other people link in and OUT of their network. But anything in the network is interoperable by default.

I think to fight something like FB the outside world would need to unite over algorithms and data formats. There should be ways trivially import and export data, ways between blogs to communicate when they're not all on wpress or tblr. Otherwise the big guys win with no resistance. Various IM applications can't send messages to each other. You need awkward solutions like Pidgin and one account per network.

Finally I have a scientific proof: quake champions grand finals had 2 American players vs 2 Europeans. The Euros had one guy from Netherlands and one from Lithuania. The Euros lost by a big margin but had some scary single combat skills. By comparison, their voice channel was nearly silent. There was noticable delay and hesitation to communicate enemy movement and situation. They had to use English to communicate and for both it was a second language. I don't think either of them was bilingual from the start.
When you graduate and get a job, try asking for a BC100 in the salary negotiation. Roughly 4000€ per year is not that big of a price tag for the company, esp. since they don't have to pay Sozialversicherungsarbeitgeberanteile on it. And you only get to pay the taxes.
You must be mostly exposed to those areas where the schools get mid-to-high ratings. Education is absolutely limited based on income level.

At the lower income levels the only thing taught is boredom, authority, and pointless busywork.
This, and the fact it costs nothing monetarily.
