Segmentation only works in ways that the market structure permits. For example it's practically impossible for a supermarket to do very good fresh bread; "fresh" supermarket bread is normally delivered frozen part baked and there isn't margin for much labour beyond schlepping things in and out of ovens, slicers and baggers. The bread you get at the start of a meal in a fine dining restaurant, baked from scratch in the kitchen? Never going to come close.

Most "luxury" products are a big marketing spend, combined with an emphasis on components and finish the customer can notice easily, ideally by sight. For things where consistency is more important than specificity, this works ok. For example, you almost always want the mass market engine, not the bespoke one tuned by the artisan mechanic. I don't think it's nearly as true for food.

It’s dumb, but it’s literally the way the entire US federal system works (nearly all federal power comes from the interstate commerce clause, cash-only is because electronic systems are almost exclusively regulated by it, except the constant flow of Bitcoin scams).

If you're using DS-Lite then the traffic is IPv4 from the user's device to their local router, v6 from there to... somewhere, and then v4 between that somewhere and the endpoint. Initially that "somewhere" is the user's ISP, but we can imagine it getting outsourced further and further upstream until eventually "the IPv4 internet" is a single datacenter that every ISP outsources to.
I've always thought if/when new states are added, the future US flag could pay homage to the original by forming the stars in a circular pattern.

> Are you saying that staying silent is the answer once you have people organizing to take down the government? How will your business operate once the government is down?

Let's dispatch with the second one first. Even if you bulldozed the entire city of DC and everyone who works there was permanently relocated to the North Pole by Santa Claus to make toys for little children forever, there would still be a government because there is a constitutional process for electing or hiring some other people to do it.

So what should platforms do about this? That's too narrow a question. It's what should society do about this? Step one, arrest the people breaking the law. Violence and calls for violence are illegal. At which point it's not clear that we even need a step two, because then the relevant people are in jail.
Which monitors are you using?
In addition, NVIDIA is the GPU to get for gaming, not AMD. NVIDIA and AMD trade blows in terms of price for performance throughout the product range, but there are no scenarios where the fastest AMD is decidedly faster than the fastest NVIDIA, and there are many scenarios where the NVIDIA is faster than the AMD. The NVIDIA software is also possibly less aggravating than the AMD software (for Windows games, not necessarily Linux games). If you want to video-stream your game, then NVIDIA beats AMD silly.

But for casuals, the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One series, and Xbox Series X all use AMD APUs.

Mercedes also makes the A-series and they're really entry level cars, parts are affordable, and the engines are super reliable. The bigger problem with Mercedes is that their electronics and software positively suck.

I understand this on a visceral level, but I wish more people would look beyond that to the implications for communication on the web. This action by Amazon happens to correspond with what I think is right and just on first iteration, but what principle prevents Amazon from arsing some other group that we agree with?
Many people waste time improving their weaknesses when they should be investing in their strengths. With enough effort you will be able to build your communication skills up to average... or you could invest where you are strong and become excellent.

Find a person that's amazing at sales and partner with them. You'll never be great at everything... do what only you can do and delegate the rest.

I'm talking more about the possibility, not average.

It's much easier to achieve 500k/year in Bay Area than in Europe.

500k/year can be achieved by being a senior engineer at one of the successful companies for a few years. The stock growth should take care of that, easily. There are probably like 100 of successful companies in Bay Area between 2010 to 2020.

There are thousands of people achieving this in Bay Area.

In Europe, the base salary is lower. The stock comp is also lower. If you are a regular IC, these 2 always go together. You would need a much higher stock growth. This level of compensation is rarely heard of that it seems impossible.

Hopefully countries will also warm up to remote work and will create legal avenues for individuals to do remote work while still paying taxes.
no worries at all, love the Questions!

re comparison: we have always wanted to use a free open-source self-hosted tool that would let us group metrics/runs by hyperparams, experiment context(train, val, test ...) and any other adjacent info about the training runs. Be able to aggregate groups of metrics, be able to give them different styles, divide them into subplots, search through the runs easily (without regexps on super-long names) etc. As far as I checked last times no such features aren't built for those tools. This is huge motivation behind Aim.

Probably the closest to this is W&B but it's not open-source and doesn't allow to see full context of the runs while comparing them (separate module).
Haven't used Losswise tbh.

We are trying to build a way that would allow to compare 1000s of ML training runs at the same time while still making the full info (context) of the runs available.
This is what I meant by "new paradigm".
(It turns out this is a fun problem :) ).

We have been working on Aim just a few months only (3 of us) and it's in very early stages. Most of the ideas we have aren't really shipped yet.

But it's already very useful for many RL researchers who run lots of experiments and those experiments are sensitive to hyperparameters. Aim seems to be able to handle them.

Have you checked out the live demo from the README?

Check out my blogpost on TowardsDataScience for more info on Aim (https://towardsdatascience.com/3-ways-aim-can-accelerate-you...).

Hope this info is useful and makes sense. Would be awesome to connect.
I would love to learn more about your use-cases and needs in these tools. My twitter is @gevorg_s.
>That way these "maintainers" have a say in politics relative to their actual importance in society. I guess?

Who decides what's important? Who decides the relative importance of "maintainers?"

Even if that were a good idea (I don't think it is), there's no reasonable way to make something like that work.
It describes the general attitude of the community; go to /r/javascript or /r/webdev and mention jQuery (...if you're brave enough) and you'll get those kind of responses, often accompanied that you should be using "modern tools". Then mention multi-megabyte JS bloat and you'll get those kind of responses as well, in the very same thread, and the very same people will be argueing both points at the same time.
Only if you buy stuff, though. Which was hard this year in particular, and not terribly useful once basic needs are met.

It feels more like you choose the job you like because you are already rich.

I'm sure you can join one of the FAANGs and get, at least, $300k/year easily.

If I have a few millions in my bank, I'd definitely join an interesting startup with no regard to compensation.

1.3m/year definitely has some luck involved. 500k/year is probably less luck. Just joined one of the hot tech companies and stay for 4 years. You have to be unlucky to not get to 500k/year.

"access"... If you wanted, an old vt100/vt220 or whatever other hardware serial terminal you like can be connected to a linux or other system and access a shell account with text browsers etc. In that scenario the terminal is "accessing the internet". (Did this with a Televideo 970 in 2007 iirc for the ebay listing where we sold it)

If you want something to run an IP stack, then a 286 running `ka9qnos` is about as small as can do hardly anything useful, probably. There might be a c64 IP stack but at that point its getting technicality again; how much access and function counts?

If you're looking for paranoid security in cheap hardware, 486 for absolute purists (runs linux handily, good luck with the graphics, matrox card ruled), and up to .. ppro? p3? or so if you're slightly less pure.

Or get Sparc 5 or alpha or etc "exotic" hardware of that era and have an extra layer of obscurity plus years of unpatched security holes in any software you can make run today.

I would rather have a better quality of life than I had in US than to get tons of $$ and live off in a gated community. Great public transport, healthcare, schools, world class Unis, top notch research institutes, and great cultural institutes.

This argument is repeatedly made and it doesn't really hold.

You don't preserve Democracy by making it difficult to Govern. When politicians are elected, they should be given the opportunity to actually govern on the agenda they ran on. Otherwise, elections becomes completely meaningless as everyone knows that meaningful change can never be implemented no matter what. I would argue that is more dangerous to democracy. The modern world evolves rapidly and a country needs a Government that's able to respond effectively to those changes.

The argument that an elected majority, elected by free and fair elections, should not be able to implement the platform they ran on seems fundamentally anti-democratic in itself.

What prevents an elected majority from consolidating power? Well, that's why we have 3 different branches of the Federal Government, and staggered election to bicameral Congress.
Even if some drug is addictive and dangerous, it does not need to be banned.

Society should treat citizens as responsible adults, not as children in kindergarten requiring constant care.

Yes, some people will fail to fight with addiction, unfortunately.

I believe, eventually all drugs need to be legalized. But not all at once. It should be done very slowly.

There are legitimate cases even for addictive recreational drugs. I think of this. Suppose I'm told I'm dying of cancer in 6 months. I could take painkillers for these 6 months and dying of boredom. But instead I'd prefer to stick to cocaine and have a lot of fun.

Their point about schema migration is completely true though. An SQLite db is extremely stateful, and querying that state in order to apply schema migrations (for both the data schema and the indexes) is bothersome.
Buying a home in a tolerable location costs at least 200k in my area and upkeep isn't free either. I can rent an apartment in a much better area for fifteen to twenty years for just the initial investment.

A house can easily lose its value or at least cause large expenses, e.g. if the cellar floods or develops mold problems. Or if the surrounding neighborhood becomes worse.

Selling houses has a large transaction cost.

I really don't see much benefits to owning over renting. I'd rather have 200k in a diversified portfolio that earns me 5k a year after taxes and has a much lower probability of losing 30% of its value while living in an apartment in a central location than own a house in a suburb that costs me a few thousand a year in upkeep and taxes. I'd likely need to buy a car too in that case, which is another few thousand a year.

It's not KPI chasing. I've grown _so_ much after each job/career change that I often wonder how long would it take me to grow by same amount if I'd stay at a single job (I don't have that answer yet but I'm sure longer).

The core argument doesn't change if DC and PR become states. The question is do the residents in DC and PR deserve the same rights to pick senators/congressmen/EVs that other states get?

I would say that this corollary would only be possible once webcomponents have form support in all browsers. In my opinion this is the last major hurdle before there is a native alternative for reusable components in the browser. Firefox is working on it[1] but there's no current roadmap for the work for Safari (though the initial form element proposal was well received by their team).

While I'm glad they fixed it (upgrading past Catalina was not going to happen), It's going to take me a LONG time to trust them again.

The fact that they could rationalize their own thought process to think this was a good idea or even anywhere close to acceptable, at best leads me to doubt their judgement. At worst, well it's best to assume incompetence over malice but you can see what doors this would open in the future.
Now we know they CAN do this without it being obvious to most users, which is a new dimension of risk regardless of intent.
The common misconception is that you have to run the nodes to do a traffic correlation attack. It's enough to see the traffic of the nodes e.g. on a IXP or as the ISP. [0] Even if the VPN is trustworthy and adversary that is able to break Tor could most likely still sees the traffic and can do a similar attack like he did for Tor.

I'm not saying that this happened only that if you think that there is a global adversary that can break the Tor anonymity a VPN won't protect you.

This website doesn't do private messages an such. Every comment and post is public. However, on social networks where you do have that function, a user might have a legit reason to want a video to be private.

When you have media that is private, if the numbering is sequential, it is easy to figure out what you can't see vs what doesn't exist. Using random IDs means that someone looking from the outside cannot reliably figure out how much content is hosted and check for private data on that service.

A secondary issue is that having an auto-increment in your database is a recipe for having really slow HA options and you can't scale hard either because it's fundamentally hard to sync auto-increments between multiple nodes that don't leave gaps in the ID namespace or are really slow.
