One of the parents talked about the rest of the world. Hence my reply. You don't have to be in the 3rd world to consider an Apple product extremely expensive.

I agree that practical ARM64 Workstations will be more feasible now, but there's still a large gap.

There's a whole market of refurbished 1st world componentes. I talk a lot with people from LATAM and they're are used to buy 2nd hand Xeons with Chinese motherboards for their prosumer market.

They even sell packs of Xeons + motherboard + Memory (it was DDR3 recently, IDK how much that changed).

In many countries people hacked early 2000s games and there are communities maintaining such games because many people has not the means to play the last titles. Nor money to pay for subscriptions and such. They pirated the whole ecosystem.

This is pretty common in Russia and Turkey too. I guess in other countries it is too.

I do have websites in Spanish and try to make them lightweight and avoid JS because I know some of my visitors will have a hard time with it.
> Storage costs are in freefall because the bulk of the car market about to transition to electric and it's creating economies of scale and spurring a ton of R&D which is picking all the low-hanging fruit in battery cost improvements.

That's not true. Utility scale storage is a huge area of interest, has had many advancements in recent past and many of technology paths have absolutely no relation to electric tech or economies of scale.
> the cleaning fee is announced before you confirm the booking isn't it?

That is correct, my issue is I am looking for places in a certain price point per day, say $200, so in my example I see a place for $200 a day I want 5 days, so $1000 plus a small cleaning fee and other fees(maybe $100 or slightly more). This place after I click on it and prepare to book then totals it up before I reserve, then comes to $1600. It has a $400 cleaning fee and there were also other fees attached. So an unsuspecting person could then get taken by this nonsense.

A possible fix is airbnb could add in all the fees and add that to the daily price, a simple UI fix that would stop this unscrupulous behavior by hosts. So instead of showing as $200 a day it now shows as $320 a day.
I went to Best Buy several times and was in and out in several minutes. It improved a lot.
Maybe this is a good opportunity to ask some related questions. I'm a Vim (now Neovim) user for most of my life but I'm finally interested in trying org-mode.

1. What's the best way to get Emacs on Mac? I heard that [1] is not a good solution, but I don't know why that is. So far I've used the d12frosted emacs-plus brew tap.

2. Further, does anyone have any resources for learning org-mode using Evil mode? I have Doom installed and it seems to use Evil by default.

You're Jerome Powell?

I'm just kidding, but surely you see how from another perspective, that sounds farcical. Like I get it, you care about the work that you do. I'm not saying you won't be rich. I'm not saying people don't think you're doing a good job. I'm saying, in a positivist measure, like, "If you vanished tomorrow, would anything happen to a major bank?" The answer is, unless you're Jerome Powell or the guy who hires the clients' kids and covers it up (1) (2), no.

This is exactly why capitalism fights single payer healthcare to aggressively when it would be in every corporations best interest to offload those costs.

They gain two things, 1) control over the worker and 2) externalize costs for selling addictive, unhealthy products.
>But when you're at your office hacking away at your computer, are you really "with coworkers"? Is it really less lonely to sit at your desk, with your coworkers at their desks, than it is to sit at the workbench in your garage with your wife in the house?

There's a lot of incidental, in-person interaction that happens when sharing a space with other people. Even little things like meeting a coworker at a coffee machine, or going for lunch at the same time. Adults at work spend as much time, or more, around their coworkers than kids spend around their classmates at school.
I scan my Airbnbs with my thermal camera to try to find hidden cameras. I'm pleased to say I've never found one yet.
Yeah. The Python C implementation's simplicity is a double-edge sword. It's delightfully easy to extend despite being straight C, but it also has made some frustrating performance trade-offs. Last time I checked, something as simple as

myObj.MyMethod()

would be implemented as (this is from memory and I'm rusty):

myObj is fetched from the local scope array by array-index.

Dictionary lookup on myObj failing over to dictionary lookup on myObj.__class__ to find the method MyMethod(). Or was it one merged dict? Whichever. All __slots__ does is mean that myObj doesn't need its own dictionary, it still has to go to __class__ for a dictionary hit, which can even be overridden if they've changed __getattr__ or __getattribute__.

Originally cpython even used deliberately-high-collision hashtables for lookups for reasons I no longer remember (faster sort?).

MyMethod() instantiates a new Method object that stores the underlying class-function and the "self" parameter, but the object is pooled, so it's quick. Still, it's creating a reference that will have to be collected in a moment.

Then we actually invoke the damned function.

Then we decrement the refcount on the Method object, which drops it to zero and it is destroyed (returning it to object-pool).

Obviously, this is from my memory and it's been over a decade, so I might be getting details wrong, but it was surprised that there were so many unoptimized layers involved in resolving a method. That even with __slots__ dictionary hits were unavoidable, and that method invocation involved instantiating an object (from a pool, but still).
a "9/11" is not some standard unit of death that can be compared to any other death toll to compute a value for "how much should we care?". comparing covid deaths to having 9/11s every day ignores almost all the context for why we care so much about 9/11 in the first place. without context, 3000 deaths is just not that much for a country of ~300 million. it's a lot to have in a single day, but it's only about half of what we expect under normal circumstances. it is a really large number of people to lose in a day to a single disease, but it's not comparable to the deliberate killing of 3000 civilians in a novel terror attack.

this kind of comparison serves only to provoke an emotional response; it doesn't contribute to a reasonable conversation about mitigations and tradeoffs. at best, it might serve as a critique of the US reaction to 9/11 itself.
That isn't really true. The system that is strict enough that you cannot abuse the system is the system so strict that many people who should get help are unable to get it. Particularly if the disability has a mental component, the disabled may unable to navigate a complex system that can keep out those who are faking it.

Even if you have a system that manages that: the system itself is so expensive because of fraud prevention that it isn't worth it.

Of course it depends. A few handicap parking spots are cheap. Printing user manuals in Brail is more expensive but not too bad if you limit it to those who actually know read brail. Keeping interpreter on staff for every minority language is expensive.
What you do in one country absolutely matters in another. Even the US has a significant portion of wind and solar these days. This didn't happen because Donald Trump (or anyone else responsible) made any ambitious climate decisions, it simply happened because policies of other countries made it so cheap that it happened through market forces.

This isn't a solution for everything (there will be areas where the climate friendly solution will always be more expensive), but for example bringing down the prices of electrolyseurs would absolutely matter worldwide and is something the EU can do with policy.
It's even worse than that. Every set of new parents gets no shared knowledge on how to best raise a child. I mean there are a literal ton of books on the subject, but they give wildly different advice.

I have a single kid (turned 20 recently). I can tell you it's totally crazy figuring it out on your own. I approached it more methodically than most (IMO), and I don't think I made too many mistakes, but here's the thing: the mistakes I made didn't have to happen, had there been this shared body of knowledge that is passed on from generation to generation.
What do you suppose the upper limit on daily deaths related to heart disease (a variety of conditions) is?

What do you suppose the upper limit on daily deaths for covid19 (a single infectious disease) is?
You are spot on. From what I read it's the most likely explanation.

I don't think it's that much different though, it's still about screaming/shouting whatever you want to get your way (either to assert dominance or to laugh).

Ha, that may beat my weird one. I was with an ex, and we rented a room in a home across from Golden Gate park. We cleared with the resident that we would be back around 2am, and that it would be fine.

At 2am, they got mad at us for making so much noise. THEN at 6am, they start blasting some ethnic music as they proceeded to fry food for hours and party. Turns out they were VERY Jewish and were celebrating the Sabbath being over. Surreal.

> Those three combined have a GDP almost double India's

Italy alone has the same GDP of India.

And it's only one of 27 countries in Europe.

And not even the richest.

Seriously, read the stats

The share of Apple in the mobile phone market, across India, in July 2020 was approximately 3.35 percent

96% of a billion people are not buying it and won't in the near future.

That was the point.
If I let my Windows desktop go to sleep by being idle, it works perfectly fine.

Storage costs, despite being in freefall still are still in the hundreds of dollars per kilowatt hour range. And it's kind of moot since the total amount of storage produced globally is still a fraction of what is necessary to make renewables feasible as a primary source of power. To put this in perspective, the US alone consumes about 500 GWh of electricity every hour. The entire world produces about 300 GWh of lithium ion batteries every year. It's dubious whether electrochemical storage will ever be able to match the requires scale, hence why a lot of renewable proponents turn to experimental solutions like the Sabatier process, hydrogen storage, or things like cranes lifting weights.
So you’re stating the obvious, that there’s a cheaper product out there that’s inferior to what Apple claims of their new headphones, and also opining that Apple is probably overstating the sound quality of their new headphones ... and that even if they aren’t overstating it, nobody could possibly want or need that kind of quality? Despite the fact that some people are out there paying tens of thousands of dollars for headphones?

I don’t know if these will find the market Apple is hoping for, but seriously what is the point of this comment? Just to be negative for negativity’s sake? I’m not trying to be confrontational or dickish—I just don’t get it. Every time Apple launches some new expensive product it’s the same old story, people saying it’s going to be crappy and anyway who would buy it at that ridiculous price? and then it turns out that it’s actually not crappy, and some people buy it and like it a lot. I don’t see why we should expect anything different here.
And yet you should wonder if the fact that we all think regularly of going back might suggest something.
I'll second this.

Neither side really instances the other side and many buy into the headline narrative that the other half aee basically all extremist nutjobs.
Nah that’s illogical thinking.

We need to protect free speech.

Protecting private power is anti-democratic. Where it suits Facebook they control speech on their platform.

Believing Zuckerberg to be beyond the reach of mortal emotions such as avarice and being willfully ignorant is dangerous.

Technical people can conjure a replacement anytime. Facebook is ultimately just a legal ownership construct.

There are number of solutions available. I use k8s + kilo hosted privately on Rpi sent to friend and family. Look, free software and speech!

SV is has been mesmerizing the world with big data tricks. To be certain, there are very important uses for that in science and engineering.

> but it should not become Mission A of the company, or engineering (and other) talent will look elsewhere.

There's 3 things that I judge an employer by

1) Sector the company is in (Space, electric cars - Yay)

2) Revenue/Growth of the company (pie grows, does your share?)

3) Company culture (that's catch-all, but if you want a negative see that "don't hire the hot girl" guy)

A lot of ways I care more about the sector, because that's the thing I cannot hope to influence, but the rest is actually open to improvement if you're high enough on the ladder.

I think the "bean counting led" is a failure on #3, but might be a win on #2.
I definitely think there ought to be courses on such things available. There should be an educational route that is between pure academia which focusses on esoterica that is only relevant to research and vocational courses that don't include much innthe way of theory at all. The idea that industry ought to pay for it presumably comes from a background where universities are private an expensive. But I'd like to live in a world where these kind of courses were government subsidised and available for free or cheap.

Washington?

You have Matt Shea, an elected Republican:

"In late October 2018, Shea acknowledged that he had distributed a document described as a "four-page manifesto" titled Biblical Basis for War that listed strategies that a "Holy Army" could employ. The document, consisting of 14 sections divided into bullet points, had a section on "rules of war" that stated "make an offer of peace before declaring war", which within stated that the enemy must "surrender on terms" of no abortions, no same-sex marriage, no communism and "must obey Biblical law", then continued: "If they do not yield — kill all males"."

"In April 2019, The Guardian published records from a right-wing chat group of four people that Shea participated in, where Shea used an alias of ‘True Warrior’ in Latin. Other members in the chat group discussed carrying out surveillance, intimidation and violent attacks on political enemies, including Antifa activists and "communists." Shea himself volunteered to conduct background checks on residents of Spokane, resulting in Shea naming three individuals. One of the chat group's members forwarded the information to The Guardian, while another confirmed the existence of the chats and acknowledged the discussion on conducting surveillance on "Antifa" people."

"An investigation commissioned by Washington House of Representatives reported, on December 1, 2019, that Shea had planned and participated in domestic terrorism on at least three occasions. This included his participation, organizing, planning, and promotion of the 2014 Bundy standoff in Nevada, the 2015 armed standoff in Priest River, Idaho, and the 2016 armed seizure of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon. Shea led a delegation of right-wing legislators from Oregon, Washington and Idaho that met with law enforcement on January 9, 2016, in Burns, Oregon and were appraised of confidential intended law enforcement strategies for dealing with the refuge occupiers. Shea then disclosed those details to Bundy, according to the report."
Ah, okay, yeah. And honestly, the tech may already exist - I'm a little unclear on whether it's sufficient or not, but ARM UEFI is a thing - but I definitely look forward to seeing things standardize and have boards that actually work like that without extra hacks.
Any sensible geoengineering plan will be in addition to climate mitigation and emission reductions, not instead of it.

Wow this is a terrific answer to the exact question of "what's a good unbiased web craweler" I asked yesterday in another thread [0].

Do you disclose what goes into your ranking algorithm? I think having that transparency and perhaps being able to tweak some ranking parameters would be go a long way to being able to verify it's built in the best interests of the users.

How many wireless headphones have "user replaceable" batteries? Certainly not any I have bought in recent years. If these last long enough to need a $79 professional battery replacement[1] in 5 years, then I'd say they're money well spent!

It is probably going to peak in April and decay naturally be its flu-like seasonality; it doesn't look like a vacine will have a major impact before that. Meaning this is going to be some very hard months, probably much harder than last year as the virus didn't have such a wide spread as it has now december last year.

I am reading about incident numbers of about 600 cases pr. week pr. 100.000 here in Copenhagen. Meaning 0.6% of the city's population will get it over just one week; if that continues 1/3 will get it within a year.

I think it is possible for most people to understand and agree that "our response to 9/11 was wrong," and yet still experience a higher subjective impression of trauma from the pandemic as a result of the comparison, which softens them up for agreeing to drastic measures in much the same way 9/11 did.

Surprised to see this. I have never had any problems with sleep. Used plenty of distros and machines.

Hibernate has been a bit tricky for me. But a few months ago I have finally found a solution that has since worked on all Ubuntu 18.04 and later machines I have tried it on.

Described in detail in a blog post at https://tkainrad.dev/posts/setting-up-linux-workstation/#hib...

I don't teach compiler courses, but I'm an academic, and I do keep in touch with industry people to find out what's important for my data analysis course. A couple of big problems with your proposal:

1. Time variation in "what industry wants". This year one thing's hot, the next year it's something else. A bare minimum requirement for any course is that a student taking it in their second year should learn something that's still relevant three years later when they're in the first year of their job.

2. Cross sectional variation. There's no such thing as "what industry wants". Every place wants something different, with only a small subset common to 80% of employers.
That feeling of begin persecuted is due to choosing denial as your political stance.
