No it doesn't it says that the value of living in a capitalist society should be reciprocated with value, i.e. individuals providing value to society, as societal value is nothing more than the aggregation of individual contributions. I'm not saying this is entirely good/correct, but I am saying you misstate the message.

> just look at the lack of respect for work that doesn't make money

This conflates individual value with societal/communal. But why should anyone give a dam about stuff that doesn't benefit them? To be clear, I'm not saying people shouldn't give a damn, I saying why couldn't they i.e. why should they be forced if they choose not to.

There's also a nuance to value: Capitalism determines value on the basis on what money people are willing to spend. Firstly, if people go out of there way to ensure money is not involved with something, don't be surprised if it's value is miscalculated by a capitalist system: this is like not winning a competition you never entered. That said, the economic impact of packaging is undervalued because no one is attaching an accurate debt/penalty to it, which is arguably the real problem here.

Secondly, there is a notion that things of value create "market demand", so if little money is offered for something, then market doesn't want it, and people supplying it are refusing to offer what society actually wants. I think this makes sense: people have children even though parental benefits might be low suggesting they aren't really doing it for society, though I've discussed this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24423077

TLDR: Capitalism only deals with societal value; so it only determines your value (of actions, say) on the basis of value to society. People are free to value things outside that system; If you think "people don't care about X" because "people don't provide money for X" then it is you declaring the value of something to be its dollar amount.

The scope of the benchmark is narrower than that, as stated in the article. It is not our aim to talk features, community, reliability (etc.) in this one article - that rather sounds like a book, and a long one at that.
Bitcoin is a currency.

The fundamentally useful thing about Bitcoin is it's proof-of-work shared ledger that allows transactions to be conducted and verified between individuals (through the shared network) independent of any third party or broker.

It is the electronic equivalent of handing someone a physical coin.

It is genuinely pretty neat.

Any actual meaningful application of this use has yet to be realized.

The dev desktops in the office are a controlled environment that can be locked down. We need that as we work in closely regulated industries handling potentially sensitive data.

At least until we arrange for everyone to have company provided dedicated work laptops which we can (mostly) lock down to the satisfaction of our clients and their auditors, but the switch to mostly remote working this year happened at roughly the same time as budgets were squeezed a bit (bet you can guess why!) so that hasn't happened across the board yet.

Allowing RDP from non-secured devices "for the time being" is iffy, but we are getting away with it due to the circumstances.
On Amazon Newegg etc 4 out 5 top selling processors were Amd for the last 6-8 months even before Ryzen 5000 series so in retail Amd 5-1 against intel is not a shock. Even for Oem's a year ago you could barely see an Amd build now days at least half or more are Amd.
But the biggest indicator for me that Intel has started hurting is what Intel is saying to the press. If intel sales were not hurting they would not need to do some of the shit they are saying to the press.

Isn’t this a fact though (just not in the way OP meant)? The current vaccines have a ~90% success rate. That means that 1/10 people might still get COVID-19 and possibly transmit it.
Not necessarily. These deals were probably negotiated two plus years ago and are probably much much lower margin than their current CPU and GPUs. AMD needed console deals in order to fund some of their R&D but they are unlikely to make a ton of profit from them.
If you sign up for Stripe and you're under 18, you'll be required to have a person 18 years or older register as the business representative for your account (usually a parent or guardian). Depending on your country, the age requirement may vary.

If you're under 13, you are not allowed to use Stripe at all regardless of what country you're in.
I meant it was backwards compatible with the protocol not that it had the physical connector on it. Even dual link DVI is rather bandwidth limited when you’re talking 4K resolution so having the physical port would be largely pointless.

But, again the cheapest dual 4K/60fps video card costs more than buying 2 of the cheapest HDMI 2.0+ cards. Which is why graph is card companies don’t really cater to that market. Unless your case and motherboard only has slots for a single card it’s effectively a non issue.
Why would workplace mailing list focus by default on "men's experience" or "men's issues"? Wouldn't they just focus on work stuff, irrespective of the gender of the persons working there?
I've been waiting for this for a while. Congrats on the release. I'm a little concerned the new physics will be buggy but whatever, I'm upgrading my project.

The really cool stuff in my opinion is the water system, the sky system (beautiful volumetric clouds!), and the full body solver for ik animation. The last one isn't a new thing for game engines, but the first two far exceed any free nature rendering tools I've ever seen. The hair seems really cool but I get the sense it may be hard to get into.

The accessibility of making high quality looking games is very good these days. That makes a big difference in terms of maintaining a willingness to keep plugging away at a project. Especially if one lacks the artistic skills to make up for it at the beginning.
There is a lot LOT LOT of tension on these cables. So if something seemingly small snaps, then the strength of the rest of the cable is compromised. Each of the strands in the cable is rated for a specific amount of weight/tension. I'm sure there was some tolerance/over-engineering in the amount the cables could support, but as the individual strands started to pop, it was only a matter of time.

>seems like it was pulled out of its base

That's pretty much what happened. All of that weight on the cable pulled it away from its support structure on that tower. Gravity did the rest.

AI researcher Timnit Gebru resigns from Google
Not only the economic costs, but also the human lives lost with the "fight against drugs". Thousands of people have been killed in this fight. It has also led to perverse politics such as rewarding military officers based on how many drug farmers or dealers they kill.

The leading example of this is the "False positives" scandal [1], which consisted in the kidnap and assassination of thousands of innocent civilians from the poor suburbs of many cities, to add them to the lists of guerilla killed and inflate their rewards. this was made by the very same Colombian army meant to protect the civilian.

Just think about it, the army massacring innocent people to claim rewards, being paid by the taxes of these same people. We're literally paying to be killed. All of this was orchestrated by the president at that time. Alvaro Uribe Velez, which unsurprisingly, has been found related to a lot of drug trafficking and violence.

All of this was greatly reduced when the peace accord was restarted about 8 years ago. When Uribe's successor was elected president. He started proposing legalizing drugs, and signing peace, which Uribe didn't like, so he started picturing him as a traitor (much in the way that Trump manipulates people).

Still, Uribe's influence is so great (as he has a lot of power from drugs and from having it's own paramilitary, all of this is a widely known "secret") that he got to set another president (as he also has his very own political party). This extremely right wing politics has resulted in spikes in violence and violations of the peace agreement from the side of the government.

Just to synthesize, these $800 million have been deceptively spent in killing innocents, claiming bonuses, and covering up that the Colombian right wing politics are grossly involved in trafficking and violence.

If you want a name, is Alvaro Uribe Velez the person who twisted media, politics, war and trafficking, and set himself as the hero, in the deadliest chapter of this country so far.

If you consume cocaine occasionally, I invite you to stop, not because of health issues or whatsoever. It is because in being a consumer you're contributing to this giant violence network, which kills social leaders and kicks out innocent farmers from their lands.

What exactly are you seeing on Uniswap that’s a scam?

Why do you think people need credentials to create a startup if they have a good idea?
You are paying someone to work 18 hours a day, every day. They would like to not work 18 hours a day anymore, and stop working at a mere 12 hours; they are even willing to accept less pay. You fire them, because you clearly told them not to do that. They organize with other workers and demand the right for a 12 hour day, with this right enshrined in law and with penalties for employers who do not comply. You say “they are free to work for someone else or quit if they don’t like it!”

Fast forward many decades later. This is a right you and I both enjoy. (This is also why we both have time to shitpost on HN.) If there was a serious proposal to take it away, you and I would probably be standing side by side on the street demanding our rights back.

It’s easy to talk a big game about human rights when your rights aren’t on the line.

I don't see any company actually affecting the problem meaningfully in the short term. There are plenty of renewable, cooling, carbon capture companies out there that may be investigating future tech, but not at the scale that will make a real impact.

In the context of Amazon, though, performance quotas are inhumane, warehouses are huge, bathrooms are sparse, so employees aren't able to use the bathroom without taking performance demerits. So you get people passing out due to dehydration because they don't want to need the bathroom.

Maybe it was swinging from liquor to beer, but then prohibition sent it back to liquor?

It looks like estimates are that overall consumption dropped during prohibition (and it was kind of amazingly high before prohibition), but I think what consumption there was, was moved back to liquor? But I can't currently find a cite for that on google, so maybe I was wrong!

It certainly makes sense to me that if you have to smuggle it, you're not going to be smuggling beer cause the risk/reward is so much better smuggling liquor. But sometimes 'common sense' is not a good guide...
A lot of mainstream server boards have very crappy videocards onboard too; usually the IPMI chip has something with vga output (and network console).
It's not about ROI anymore. It's mostly about which asset can capture most of the newly printed fiat money now and in the future.

New fiat currency is constantly being created and all assets are competing for the biggest possible chunk of that new money.

The reason why crypto is doing well comes down to a contrast between monetary abundance and scarcity. Some people in this world have access to an essentially infinite supply of fiat currency at 0 risk... So fiat currency is not worth anything to these people; so if these people start buying some scarce resource, they will quickly realize that it will drive up the price of that resource ad infinitum. The only other variable is how hard people HODL the asset.

If enough of these people buy up the same scarce resource, the growth of that scarce resource will outpace that of all other scarce resources.
Can you elaborate a bit more on duplicated code/composition issue? I would think that functions would ensure that there isn't much duplicated code.
It's one thing to trust the government about something that is relatively uncontroversial, like speed limits. It's beyond naive to trust the government on a subject about which it has a very long history of questionable decisions and moralizing policy.
> The idea that people have to read through the lines of hyperbolic and aggressive speech and understand the intentions and history is absurd.

The idea that they should is absurd; the idea that they will (or that they all will) is simply false. If you say "kill all men", some people (both men and women) will take you at face value. Even worse: A small minority of those why say it will genuinely mean it.

For limited launches doing blind auctions would be really cool. You wouldn't have web pages melting down and requiring people to hammer f5, because you could run the auction for long enough that everyone can get their bid in. And at least theoretically scalpers should have much harder time making profit in a well-organized auction. And nobody can accuse vendor of price gouging in an auction because the price would be so purely market-driven.

I get the compositional aspects of it. I've used similar utility css classes. They're pretty nifty because its instant gratification. No need to switch context and go to Sass.

However, for production, I always come back and refactor everything into a beautiful Sass file that explains with comments what all the stuff is doing.

Now, the designer can come in and change something in the sass without having to worry about the rest of the app. They can easily debug too 'customer-support-class' straight from chrome browser.

I feel like Tailwind is a prototyping tool that's then shoehorned into production environment and in large applications where the design language (despite of tokens and standards) breaks down.
I'm very curious about this pattern, but does the tooling exist to make this feasible across a team.
One of the big problems with SQL views is their lack of discoverability.
The lack of tooling also plagues SQL based systems, I would miss goto definition, find all references and sensible autocompletion.
I am curious why no one has built suitable tooling around all this, because it is a great idea for lot's of scenarios
It should be noted too that the 90s was really a different world back then. Processing capabilities, and development tools were vastly different.

There was just so much stuff that you had to manually build you don't have to now. (There are other complexities that we get to worry about now.) One thing I noticed back then is that putting stuff in the database just made things easier. In some instances, it really did act as like an amplifier for getting work done. Need to sort data? The database has things in place to do that and really efficiently too. I remember working with people, and if they had to make things like a linked list or a binary tree, they were lost (Yes, these were CS people too. We can argue about their education, but yes, they did graduate with a CS degree). There was nothing really like Stack Overflow to ask for help. You were really on your own for a large portion of it. Database code really took care of a lot of that for you. (Truthfully, the companies I worked for used MSSQL Server back then, so your results might have been different.)

“Euler’s identity” is a flashy way of stating that a half-turn rotation in the plane is equivalent to a reflection across the center of rotation. This is a fact which can be easily understood by young children.

The part that makes the expression flashy is that the rotation is written via its logarithm, which can be represented as the length of a circular arc (“angle measure”).

It’s a useful fact to know, but is vastly overrated.

I missed that. Thank you for replying!
IME (my experience) -- Lock-in was really about APPs in the 90s and 2000s... JDE Edwards, IBM AS 400, etc...

AWS is a substrate platform, thus is does not look like lock-in in any other respect other that price.

if you marry with Oracle, JDE, AS-400 etc you are mapped to an APP and not a platform on which you can build WTF you want... so only noobs think of AWS as a lock-in because they are only looking a price/cost as opposed to the entire ripple effect of what it means to move/migrate core ops (typically finOps) between platforms...

Look at the underlying phys infra thats required to do at scale shit...

Thats the cost benefit analysis thats really overlooked. That hourly cost per comput/service/resource is mortgaging a SHIT TON of physical infrastructure that would cost a single company MILLIONS - yet - Amzn is literally investing everything that one company should in physical and digital security and executing it well...

And for that, I respect them and support them.

Anecdotal: I once had a dev (I was DEVOPS director) check in creds to github after it was the 251st repo (where our account only paid for 250) and by default at the time, Git made any repos above your account limit public, and bots scanned ALL of these - they got our creds in this devs post, and launched - from Germany - THOUSANDS of G-class instances for bitcoin mining.....

Anyway, an all-nighter - but Amazon refunded / canceled the tens of thousands of dollars in compute time without hesitation....

Cloudability proved to also be an invaluable resource - and While I am concerned over the bezos-new-world, Amazon never fails to make me appreciate their customer service... (they sent me the wrong SSD and sent me a new one, refunded my money and sent me a second one as well....)
I am not entirely sure this is correct. There are definitely ways to delete or update data.
Hands up, it's a fair point. I've worked with data sets that are mainly large aggregates of public data so security isn't an issue. It's the code that's carefully protected.

One exception is having access to that data because I was working ON the prod server. Read that again. It was deeply uncomfortable to work like this. Very worrying every day.

Even if you take that as an axiom there is still the issue of results being biased (in the academic sense of deviation of expected value from a statistical estimate) related to gender and race.

I first checked which panels were the good ones here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-s-Panel-Lottery-continu..., which indicates Innolux is the panel to get. Then I went to https://support.lenovo.com/ie/en/partslookup and punched in my serial number, located near the bar code on the bottom of the laptop. From the "Parts" tab select the "Commodity Type" as "LCD PANELS" and you should see something like "FRUofAUO14.0FHDIPSAG" indicating I get the "AUO" manufactured LCD panel. If you are particular about getting the Innolux, you can use the substitutes button to figure out the lenovo replacement part number for the desired LCD Panel. For the Innolux on the T14s, it could be ordered here: https://lenovo.encompass.com/item/12401836/Lenovo/01YN156/, but it seems to be currently out of stock.
