Your objections are just the low hanging ones :-) You surely do not expect a iron clad proposal here with all the t's crossed and i's dotted? However here are some resolutions to your objections;

>How do you ensure that this classification of critical/non-critical happens accurately?

Define "accurately". We are playing the balance of probability based on the "domain experts" knowledge base. In some cases it would be obvious. For example take this mRNA research; this great article from https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/10/the-story-of-mrna-how-a-... states;

In the natural world, the body relies on millions of tiny proteins to keep itself alive and healthy, and it uses mRNA to tell cells which proteins to make. If you could design your own mRNA, you could, in theory, hijack that process and create any protein you might desire — antibodies to vaccinate against infection, enzymes to reverse a rare disease, or growth agents to mend damaged heart tissue.

A moderately scientific mind can easily see the vast life-saving potential here (analogous to stem cell research promise but from a different direction) so why wouldn't we label it "critical" and keep funding it until the breakthrough is found? Note the issue was not of Science but of Mechanism which is almost always solved with Time and Technology. UPenn failed this test miserably and completely.

>How do you ensure that this 'non critical' funding isn't simply a waste of money? ... How do you deal with vaccine technology that is junk and will never produce a safe and efficacious product?

This is where the system has to absorb the losses when you do decide to cut the chord but this should not be based on imaginary "market/financial needs". Revenue generation from various sources somewhat guarantees that.

>So unlimited funding for unlimited projects as long as they are critical according to some review committee? We might have a tiny problem doing that.. :)

Of course, this is nothing new; we are dealing with Humans after all. Just make your criteria for "critical" very stringent and the people in charge knowledgeable. This is how Science has always worked when the "bean counters" don't get involved.

Think of it this way; in any project there is always the core/essence/kernel Science/Technology/Whatever which is the primary reason for its existence while the others are ancillary which exist only to support the primary. If you make the mistake of taking the ancillary for the primary, you will lose almost always (i put "almost" to factor in the role of Chance :-).
This is very scary situation
This is implausible on its face.

If your new C program is faster than your old C++ program, then you may simply rename files from ".c" to ".cc". Then, you have two C++ programs, one faster than the other.

If your custom hash table really is faster than any library you find, congratulations! Recoding its interfaces, without giving up any performance, you can make it available for use in other C++ programs. As one may deduce, this has already happened, and has produced the better hash table libraries you appear not to know about. Available C++ hash table libraries have benefit of overwhelmingly more optimization attention than could be afforded on behalf of a single program, and they deliver that performance to all dependent programs.

Every programming project is an exercise in practical economics: your strictly-limited available attention goes where you choose. The greater productivity of coding in a more powerful language frees up attention that may then be allocated to areas that would otherwise suffer neglect. Whatever amount of attention you devote to making code in a poor language work at all, you may spend a fraction of coding in a better language, and the balance on other beneficial uses, such as better performance.

That the new program is faster than the old program reliably demonstrates that the old program was not so well optimized as you suggest. (Your comment elsewhere, that "the whole project uses only [a] minimal set of C++ features" reveals perhaps more than you intended.) One may surmise that the old program's authors spent more of their limited attention on its effectiveness at playing chess than the latter program's author needed to.

That the third, assembly-language program is faster still demonstrates that the previous programs left performance on the table. My experience is that it is not hard to double the speed of a typical program just by paying attention to cache and pipeline effects. Most likely, the asm coder just happens to know more about those effects, knowledge that could as well have been applied to the others. Most programs seem fast enough exactly until another, faster one comes along; then they are instantly slow.
Nope. I think they should probably ask for one at signup. Would also reduce their server load if people only used 1 account instead of making 2+

Hmm... my mom forgot her outlook password recently and doesn’t have a cell phone so she can’t get any auth codes. She says she can’t find a way to contact support. Any suggestions?
No, I definitely mean the people shot by police. It's not so much the direct deaths that are the problem as the issue of making people unable to rely on the police.

And while criminal shootings are... rising? (for homicides, 2019 was on par with 2006, above 2014, and below 2017), excess police don't stop criminal shootings.
I get downvoted for telling the truth.

The design of Taiwanese Roads leaves no room for bikes and passengers. Taipei does this better because it has MRT and so U-bike is widely used there. Other cities are not so lucky.

Look, it’s clear China lied about the virus early on, tried to cover it up, etc

But what accounts for this compulsion to argue that they therefore lost control like the west. You can’t hide widespread outbreaks. Iran failed to. Russia failed to.

There are millions of Chinese outside the country with relatives outside. Vast economic trade networks. Satellites scanning every inch of China every day. Witness the exposés on Uighur concentration camps despite intense Chinese effort to hide them.

Life in China appears to be....mostly normal virus wise. And multiple other countries achieved the same. It doesn’t strain credulity to believe China mostly contained it.

I could believe China has somewhat more cases than they say, but it’s simply implausible that they have a raging epidemic.
I think up through middle or high school while you still live in that bubble, yes. Afterwards, the playing field is likely tilted towards higher earners and higher savers. I haven’t done a survey but afterwards some people just had bad outcomes but were given the same opportunities when they were younger. They would say, do well in school and you’ll get a merit scholarship no matter your race, parents, background, or anything; Just your GPA. In some family households, grades and learning just aren’t important and in others, they are.

Back in 1960's, my dad worked as a draftsman. His work was impeccable. But once in a while, he got told, pretty harshly that this is a piece of shit. And he had to work 15 hours to fix a mistake. No, I am not talking about a typo which can be marked with a white marker. Hard-to-objectively-evaluate things like "Dimensions are just not as readable as they can be. You could arrange them this way, look. It's better." He told me to face criticisms, the harsher it is, the more passionate the criticizer is. Find out why they're passionately criticizing it.

I feel like criticisms on HN, Product Hunt, r/photography, r/design, etc. - we are too soft to not offend people.

I personally would want to be criticized as harshly as possible. I'd like to face reality in all its glory without drinking the soft-mannerism bs. If the design is shit, say it. If its great, praise it. Tell people why its great. Be honest why it sucks.

It's hard but if I am really interested in improving my skills, I don't want to be given lipservice. It is worse than not seeking feedback because it leads to self-delusion. It goes the other way too, don't be afraid to praise something passionately if you resonate with it and explain the reasons.

This is the society's mechanism for improvement and filtering out noise. If we don't do this, society becomes noisy and people who are really good at stuff are drowned in the noise.

Starships probably won’t be landing on Mars empty. They will have up to 100t (220klb) of cargo, and maybe some extra fuel.

Even at 0.4G that should be more than 200klb, they’ll probably need two engines to hover.

We are not talking about stability of AB5, but rather the situation before it. It was trivial for most other industries to get excemptions to AB5 (there are tens, if not close to 100 excemptions now). So what really changed with prop22 comapared to before AB5?
so i know some people around me who are using telegram and very likely most of them did not change anything about their privacy settings as usual.

Albertson's doesn't need it. They would use a third party AB 5 or not. It may cost more if AB 5 were in effect, but it's still less than having your logistics in-house.

Having someone else do your deliveries and such has been a thing for a long time. Companies have gone back and forth depending on who's doing the bean counting and what they think is crucial to business. Sometimes they would split it. Some in-house some hired out.
It took me a while to find it on iOS, it’s under the contacts tab called “find people near by”. It doesn’t seem to work without location enabled so hopefully that would keep you safe.
Interesting. Do you you have any examples regarding temperature and poisoning you could share?

> If it's the latter, it's not vulnerable to the previous attack, but if you have a known point of reference (so you can deduce what the offset is)

It sounds like this approach could be prevented by having a random fixed offset for each user, so that you have no point of reference unless you already know where that specific user is. [Removed bit about regenerating this offset infrequently.]

EDIT: You could even do this in conjunction with the quantization mitigation, which sounds like it would shore up the slight weaknesses with that approach (where being on a quantization boundary makes it obvious where you are in that dimension) for the best of both worlds, as long as you're okay with further decreasing accuracy.
Maybe find a team you think you can really impact with your PM+Dev skills, deliver an impactful project, then use that as leverage to get promoted within this team and/or a fleet of teams. I like what you have to say r.e. learning and enjoyment, but don't sell yourself short. You're probably a lot more valuable to the group/division than you realize.
complaint checks out. one of the core ways intel discriminates it's high priced versus consumer chips.

basically we need a couple solar events it seems that convince us this is horseshit & unacceptsble. & that like 4% extra ram storage (and like 0.001% cpu complexity) for some modest protection doesn't deserve a 200% increase in processor price. meanwhile folks lovimg at altitude & in the sky just have to deal. iirc amd has not supported officially but allowed ecc on basically all chips in the last nearly 20 years.

one of the classic signs that capitalism will always only deliver what markets dont revolt against. farcically ill served, by design.

there was a fairly recent question on reddit about why cpu architectures are rarely designed to protect against bit-flips, but ram often is[1]. among other things i ran into a wikipedia article on Soft Errors[2] that talked to a lot of means of failure (atmospheric showers of secondary energetic particles, typically), & terms like Critical Charge, which registered strongly with my engineering undergrad background. it made me a bit miffed that there are a lot of domains of computing that receive no protection, which is absurd given how trivial adding protection would be.

anyhow, the rest of Linus's comments are great & on target. he talks about ThreadRipper & chiplets being much easier to scale. intel charging geometrically more as you ask for more, where-as amd charges linearly more. his comments that yes, threadripper motherboards are more expensive, but in line with overall price rings true.

it's interesting days. we went "glueless" years ago: removed the north-bridge & integrated it's capabilities, enabled direct cpu-to-cpu communication, moved the ram controller onboard. under-discussed, but AMD's innovation is almost entirely winding back the clock on that: there is now an i/o die is a large-process (14nm) chip that: talks to main memory, talks to whatever cpu dies are available, exposes a ton of pcie/sata. the only difference versus the 90's &c is that, this time, the northbridge is on-package.

i do think there are some missing amd offering still. when zen was being announced, there were supposedly going to be very very low cost motherboard offerings featuring "x300" chipsets, which were basically no-chipsets, just some boot-loader code. makes sense when you have gobs of pcie, memory, on package. you can still find the x300, & now b300, a300 mentioned[3] if you go to the am4 chipset section, but these seem like vapor launches, & i don't feel like the effort to reduce the motherboard complexity really developed. again another tension in amd's world, like SeaMicro: no one actually making products supporting AMD's offerings wants to be involved in a race to the bottom. they want to continue to sell expensive, complex, deluxe add-ons. the tension is real.

Ok, why can't we just say housing isn't a market, it's priced primarily for livibility and less for some concept of quality. Then living wage doesn't need to be opened to inflated housing markets.

Well, you said:

> why can we not agree that the people who do the job deserve to be compensated with a living wage and deserve dignity and stability?

How do you propose that a person doing a "job" earn a "living wage" without making changes to the minimum wage? I sense much more of an argumentative tone to your comments than the person you're replying to, by the way.
Nobody can tell you what a contract will look like because unions are democratic, all of us decide what we want, then send negotiators to get what we want, then we approve the result
