About the commute.

If you have a 45 minute commute which is allegedly "normal". It's an hour and a half. I would add another hour to that to make that a true door-to-door figure, i.e. from the time you decide to get ready (past breakfast/morning coffee) to when you're actually productive at your desk. Same in the evening from the time you shut work to when you're back home.

If you sleep 7 hours a day, you have 21 waking hours. You're spending 15% of your time (2.5 hours) on a commute. That in my opinion is a lot of waste.

My point being most people seriously underestimate the cost of the commute. It's almost like saying you have to work at least 2.5 more hours a day but you won't be paid for it.
> To be fair there was quite a lot of lobbing of opinions as it pertained to his guilt and ability to be prosecuted.

There's a difference between legally meaningful findings and lobbing opinion on legally non-germane questions.

> Including: “This conduct would amount to offences in English law”

That's a determination the court is called on to make in an extradition case under Section 137 of the Extradition Act.
> I think a lot of people would benefit from an explanation of the performance characteristics of the program.

For sure!

And that's way beyond the modest aims of the benchmarks game.

> People regularly misinterpret benchmarks … From what I can tell, you as the maintainer have done very little to address that.

Seems to me that misinterpretation is not something that is effectively addressed by website content; it's something that is effectively addressed by responding to what people say when they discuss benchmarks in forums like HN and proggit and … one person at a time.

> … you can just respond and tell me to go do it. I think that's a cheap response…

It isn't intended as a brush-off.

otoh as you show on proggit, it's when you "Just sit down and actually try to plan out what you would do." that you start to understand what is involved.

otoh I'd like to see others do all that stuff the benchmarks game does not do, in whatever way they choose https://pybenchmarks.org/
The thing that stands out for me is that after people ‘reappear’ they don’t seem to offer any explanation of where they have been.

That seems odd. What do they say when people ask them? Or have they simply not been available to talk to.
I agree. They should probably just start charging an entrance fee. It’s just way too crowded.

Or find a larger venue.
Same thing happened to me with other services too. Sadly this is too common
Maybe if affiliate links only functioned for products that an affiliate was verified as owning? I think there is a need for in-depth product reviews but people need a way to be compensated for them without being paid off to provide good reviews.

Highly targeted recommendation services like pcpartpicker also provide value.
This is very likely the case. Check the IP on a site that does IP reputation scoring [1]. They probably don't have a database of "bad" addresses for IPv6, so it squeaks by for now. I'm sure that'll change in the future though.

My current IP shows "0 - low risk" with that tool. Grabbing a random PIA IP shows "93% - Abusive IP" with a warning about being a high risk proxy connection. The random VPN IP is also on SPAM blocklists.

I'm guessing a huge portion of cheap shared hosting is the same.

> The fact the pricing was so similar does make me wonder about the claims that non-ECC RAM is really ECC RAM just without the CPU/MMU being made aware of it - I think that’s possible if the RAM is already Buffered/Registered.

Who claims that? And can't you just count the chips?

You can get support by paying for Google 0ne where a human helps you.
Get our own house in order first, then write a book about it and ship it out for free. If they don’t listen, it’s their loss. You won’t right every wrong nor mend every fence. It’s impossible, and the price you pay for constantly trying the same old failed thing is felt at home by some other minority group that could have used the resources which were squandered on faraway struggles of the cold or hot variety.
There are also quite a few interview videos, and assorted articles.

One fun bit from an interview on handling disinformation, was the comment that Taiwan has living memory of the trauma of SARS lockdown, and of its fight for press freedom. Making them disinclined to go back, to lockdowns, or to use takedowns for disinformation. Forcing other solutions. Like using humor, to defuse misinformation, and to increase precaution compliance.

A very sharp, nice person. Fun to work with. Was active in the perl and haskell communities. Her focus shifted some years back to civics tech. Emphasizing open source, open data, radical transparency, voluntary association, digital democracy, and more.
Regardless I'm impressed that he's going for very competitive search terms e.g. "best robot vacuums" and "best gaming chairs".

This game is dominated by big brands and aged domains, so if you can squeak in to page 1 for just a single one of these search terms you're well in the money.

The backlink profile is instructive, some solid link building from established domains (esquire, seekingalpha, etc.)
Oregon!

But yeah, I agree. Don't try to institute the same policies in your new state which lead to your decision to eventually leave your old state.
> Because if you give consumers a choice between having ECC or LEDs on otherwise identical boards with identical price, most will go for the LEDs.

Citation needed.

I would bet that your typical ram-purchasing consumer is not seeing or even considering the existence of the ECC model.

> ECC realistically adds to the BOM (board, modules) more than LEDs do. So the price goes up with seemingly no benefit for the user.

LEDs are a great opportunity to increase profit margin, so I'm not sure about your price conclusions.
There is a really really simple one (at least for your private life but if your company uses G-Suite, you always have the admin to take care of things you forget):

Do not use Google! It's as simple as that. I have never had a Gmail account until an Android device sort of forced it on me, because I definitely didn't want to link things up to my real email address, so I just signed up for the whole thing. Do I ever use that email address? Definitely not! Why would I?

What happens if I ever loose access to that account? I have to register a new one for my Android device(s). Boohoo.

Some of this obviously requires 'abstinence' and not having the same 'cool toys' as other people. I.e. if I buy lots of fancy apps that I actually rely on for my daily life, then loosing this Google Account will hurt. No longer have a PC and do everything including your banking, gaming etc. with the tablet (i.e. things you really need or things you paid a lot of money for)? Well, welcome to the walled garden where Google practically owns you.
This is a great point.

I'm going to try and onboard this thinking into my life.
I don’t see how this is a bad thing? Albertson’s, a national grocery chain, goes all in with a single vendor (instacart) of an ancillary service (delivery) for efficiency.

It’s frustrating to see this portrayed as some local chain responding to local laws when it’s just natural streamlining after a business sale.
I keep hoping that someone makes a run at the most obvious health care need: a consumer centric medical record that you control with automated diagnosis engine.

Diagnosis is fundamentally an information problem, so should be zero marginal cost. Generic drugs have near zero marginal costs, so the idea that most healthcare needs to be expensive is incorrect from first principles.

I think if this is impossible in the US due to regulations, surely there are some countries that would allow it?
That's a small part even of the people here.
I wish them luck in their new jobs.
Same story happen in 2016,2017,2018,2019. This just show that the system need to be better managed, not lockdown.

Untrue.
1) This has always been allowed, but AB5 made it illegal.
Then a shitton of industries got granted exceptions to it, and ride-hailing + food-delivery did the same.

2) Prop22 can be be amended only by a seven-eighths vote of the Legislature or a new ballot measure — AND state labor laws can be superseded by federal laws and regulations for enterprises that affect interstate commerce.

> Google is doing a terrible job at it’s core responsibility

I'm not quite sure what Google's "core responsibility" here is, besides to make money while meeting some bare minimum threshold for not harming society. They certainly don't owe you a perfect search service for free, just like you don't owe it to them to use their search service.
Huh, I thought chickens were more predictable and nested. Ducks sometimes just drop and egg while they're walking around, but mine stay in a pretty small area so they're easy to find if they haven't broken them.

I'm pretty sure they'd have to hire their own animators in order to produce a product to sell. Theft is still a crime, we would be removing Disney's ability to use the police to shut down the work of amateur animators.

I think both gradients are "wrong" in that they themselves interpolate without correcting for RGB. I think the first example thte original and dither are wrong in the same way, while in the second the dither is more right than the gradient is.

Basically I'm afraid the author of this post is a bit of a "careless eager student" archetype who, while generously pointing out the gotchas that to an expert might be second nature, is also introducing unintentional errors that add some confusion right back.

I'm not expert in color, but with anything with soo many layers of abstractions (physical, astronomical, psycological, various models that approximate each), it helps to work symbolically as long as you possibly can so the work can be audited. Trying to correct from the current "baked" state is numerical hell.
How do you k ow this is an affiliate link farm?

What do you mean once again? I read WAY too much HN, and this is the first time I’ve read about this issue with someone whose site focuses on affiliate marketing. Are posts like this common if you read “new” HN articles?
Thanks for the correction. I was aware of the speed of distributed cluster reads, but I might be overestimating the speed of NVMe random seeks.

> The other issue is that NVMe is more expensive than DRAM

How are you calculating that?

When I upgraded my home server the other week, 16GB of DDR3-1600 cost nearly as much as 1TB of decently fast NVMe (HP SX920).

Would you still think an on-disk mmap'ed CSR graph library be useful for medium-scale usecases given modern SSDs? Or do you think such latencies kill any use
I'm well aware, but a bayesian spam filter probably is not. If you look up lists of words most likely to trigger spam filters, "cheap" will be in every one of them. I can't say that is what's happening here but it seems plausible at least.

I would also argue that spam messages aren't really trying to convince you something is low quality, it's precisely the low cost aspect that they're to convince you of even if the product is actual low quality.

I'm sure there's other companies with cheap in their domains/headers, but none stand out and I would have no idea if they depend on SEO anyway.

Whilst I agree this may not necessarily be put into practice by other games, Gala Games is also said to be using select NFT items across multiple games in their platforms too. They have already demonstrated collaborations with other games in the blockchain space so it wouldn't be too far fetched to imagine that a sharing of NFT between partners might follow.
They might struggle to sell licenses to their ideas, given that license is merely permission to perform a trivial task they are equally prepared to perform sans license, they could always benefit by selling their creative labor as work on the market.
Wow, I don't think I have ever seen an 86 square foot hotel room. I live in what's locally a small, 50-year-old suburban ranch home in the Midwestern US, but even my guest bathroom is at least that big. That really drives home the disparity behind the "we're all in the same boat" memes where one boat is a yacht and one's a castaway raft - though most seaworthy rafts are on the order 86 square feet...

For me, quarantine was the best couple months of my recent working life. My home office is way nicer (quieter, fewer interruptions, better computer and peripherals, better chair etc) than my work office, I got to have brunch, lunch, and an afternoon snack with my kids, had no commute, played fetch with the dog or took walks in the woods for breaks, got a ton of projects done around the house and in the workshop, played with my kid in his play room, and I'm a bit of an introverted hermit so being home without a stream of social visitors was really a cherry on top.

I don't know how to properly say sorry or thank you to urbanites for whom quarantine was more like a prison experiment. I guess I'll try with "I'm sorry that your experience was so difficult. Thank you so much for caring and for going through that quarantine."
> People horrified to enter a hospital despite needing medical care.

I have not heard of anyone who is ‘scared’ to go to the hospital. I have heard of many hospitals in coastal states being forced to turn away elective procedures due to lack of bed space (from covid cases).

Have you ever stopped to consider that, lockdown or not, people simply aren’t choosing to do the things they used to? There are no restrictions against travel, yet people aren’t taking as many vacations. Most states today have no restrictions on dining, yet restaurant revenues are down by half. The service and hospitality industries were going to take a hit from covid regardless of lockdowns.
Companies are unwilling to upend their business based on laws that are highly controversial and the likely subject of future changes. Prop 22 provides the stability that these companies need to drop their full time employees and commit to outsourcing this work to rideshare drivers.
No one is denying that independent contractors deserve dignity and stability. Imposing a forced employment framework violates the dignity of non-full time contractors who want a side income to supplement their normal job. This discussion also should account for the benefit to society of having safe and low cost transportation and delivery options, which raises the dignity of many people who otherwise could not afford the rates of for example taxis.

Living wage is a mutable concept and is determined in large part by where you live and how many children you have. Wages for a job are based on a fair market rate within reasonable bounds, like minimum wage. Raising minimum wage too high has adverse effects on job availability.
Not gonna lie, you kinda sound like a mobster here, haha.

Nice job, Itd be a shame if anything happened to it.
More people would have the opportunity to produce live-saving drugs, fewer people would be subject to state violence as a consequence of performing acts that had no victim.

You don't need to say it directly. It's obvious from your tone that you're bothered.

I think the font thing might be a failure in displaying properly rather than an intentional choice. It's no smaller than the font here on HN or anywhere else for me.
Same thing in America. You can break into a place and bring a tooth brush and when the cops show up just say you live there and signed a lease. Then it becomes a legal dispute and all the squatters have to do is keep changing out the squatter because it takes so long to serve and evict. It’s a nightmare to get involved in.
Seems like @d2v has fallen for some misinformation.

They think this law is "unrepealable" which doesn't even make sense if you take half a second to think about it.

>Prop 22 which was passed on the backs of a nearly $200m campaign

You mean, passed on the backs of nearly 10 million voters.

I always find it strange to tout the line of how much money was spent in an election, as if to say that the voters have no agency or culpability. Clinton spent nearly 2 times what Trump did and still lost. Money does not equal votes if the people don't support an issue.
This absolutely isn't the case with the BETA product (TownStar) already available for free play on the Gala Games platform if you want to check the implementation.
> I would accept that trade.

What trade, exactly, do you think you would be accepting?

If you think you would be trading the absence of HN and rare sites like it for the absence of Facebook and Twitter, or even them rolling back their most egregious moderation policies, think again. Facebook and Twitter won't care if Section 230 is repealed; they can afford enough lawyers to handle any lawsuits thrown at them. In fact they would probably like it, since it would mean even less competition for them than they currently have. So repealing Section 230 would actually make the situation worse, not better.

A change that might improve the situation would be to pass legislation clarifying the boundaries of "good faith moderation", which is the part of Section 230 that Facebook and Twitter are abusing. Unfortunately, nobody seems to be talking about that.

> HN is a rare exception.

Maybe, but the fact remains that it exists, and we can come here and have discussions and not have to even pay attention to all the dreck that is out there. I don't use Facebook. I don't use Twitter. I do use HN and sites like it. Those sites are not replaceable, and they need the protection that Section 230 offers.

> personal blogs, company sites, LWN and other news sites

I don't want "news". I want discussion. And the whole point of Section 230 is that we can have sites like this one where actual discussion can take place, not just someone posting their thoughts on blog A and someone else responding on blog B. The reason sites like this exist is that everyone just posting what they think on their own blog is not a good way to have online discussions. I don't want to give up the added value that discussion forums provide. Nor, as I said above, do I think giving it up by repealing Section 230 would actually improve anything.

DigLit is a nonprofit that builds, deploys, and maintains custom software solutions for other nonprofits.

We're looking for a couple of researchers with academic research experience in software engineering (Read some kind of thesis work on the subject).

Our unique problem is, how do we build software quickly using a large number of time limited volunteer software developers. A secondary problem is how do we build software so that it can be maintained by software developers who were not involved with the original project.

Email recruit@diglit.ca if interested. This is a volunteer position. Our organization is 100% volunteer based at this time.
Not surprising. I can imagine there are efficiency gains to be made by using Doordash software and infrastructure, not to mention potential pickup and dropoff route optimization.

Very weirded out tho on why the article has a prop22 angle. All prop22 did was amend AB5. This sort of thing happened already all the time before AB5. Now it will just continue.

Can someone help me out here? Maybe because its from Knock-LA, a left publication?
The fact that you cannot see any of these problems or understand how they are fracturing people and groups all around the world is part of the problem itself. These are all highly legitimate concerns you just dismiss with a whimsical "that's stupid."

People who just accept masks and advocate for them immediately without question are also very likely to murder the person in the other room in the Stanley Milgram experiments. That should concern you and everybody.
