Which anti-consumer practices? That is, given that we're talking about gamers.

There's Nvidia's longstanding allergy to open source, but that only affects the tiny fraction of gamers who use Linux.

There's this hash rate thing, but from a gamer's perspective that's pro-consumer.

I suppose you can count their price increases for recent GPU generations. But I don't know if that rises to the level of "anti-consumer". Especially when they've been delivering performance to match.

The best example I can think of is their policy of requiring servers to use their more-expensive 'professional' line of GPUs. This does hurt gamers, since it forces game streaming services using Nvidia cards to charge higher prices. That said, among the major streaming services, Stadia, xCloud, and PlayStation Now all use AMD GPUs, while GeForce Now can skirt the policy since it belongs to Nvidia itself. The remaining services are relatively obscure – though perhaps they'd be less obscure if Nvidia didn't have that policy.
This is a milestone result, and its formalisation taught us many things, for example that the systems are capable of handling long proofs about elementary objects.

However finite graph theory is not remotely mainstream mathematics. Take your favourite super-prestigious maths prize, for example the Abel Prize or the Fields Medal. Now look at everyone who has won this prize in the last 10 years. That is the definition of mainstream mathematics. And as you will see if you do this, the areas which these people are working on are a million miles away from finite graph theory. This is precisely the problem. Computer scientists sometimes have a very twisted view of exactly what kind of mathematics is regarded as important in 2021. The experiment I outline above will give you some idea of what is mainstream, and believe me, it's not the four colour theorem.

DNS standards tend to favor using aliases rather than IP's. My observation is that the overall goal is to have the IP listed as few times as possible. Otherwise there'd be no need for CNAME's in general, and everything would be an A record or an IP. But, MX records are supposed to refer to an A record not an IP.

The author is correct- if somebody is doing this, they're simply doing it wrong. Standards exist so that we can say "This configuration is wrong" instead of "Lets complicate software to allow people to use any configuration they want."
You can but only under very arbitrary situations that aren't common in real life. And if you're assuming it's not hollow and has constant density, then I doubt there's any way to make such an iceberg except if you look at it from one specific angle: looking from the side should give it away. Yet nearly every image of an iceberg seems to show them in that way.
TypeScript is nice when you are working with data structures because everything can be defined as interfaces, including functions and methods. This allows you to identify errors as you are writing code instead of having to execute it. Of course this only works if you make use of strict type definitions. TypeScript is like steroids in that it only makes you more of what you already are, which could be quite negative. TypeScript is not a supplement for missing discipline.

> I'm surprised you haven't run into more of these people that just seem to use TS as a complexity multiplier for every bad engineering decision they make.

AngularJS claims to be TypeScript but most instances of Angular code rarely make use of type definitions, which then defeats the whole point of TypeScript and then only contributes to spaghetti and tech debt.

To be clear, MX records are supposed to point to an A record. Pointing to a CNAME record is not legal.
The low rate of prosecution doesn’t mean that the laws are useless. It has coerced the financial industry into behaving in more pro-public ways than it would have without them. In this case it would likely ensure that academic frauds are not engaged in lightly.

I don’t think Research fraud specifically has much connection to student loan debts. Most PhD students are fully funded by their programs. Most of them are international students anyway and would likely not have access to the sweetest US based loans.

Engines are separate from the airframe; on big commercial aircraft the engines get swapped/moved around all the time (the engines may well be on lease, separate to the lease on the airframe). Thus, in this sort of situation it's the engine's history that'll be important, rather than the airframes.

I knew these tiling managers exist for tabs, but I wanted to take a slightly different approach on multitasking. TabFloater is primarily useful if you use your browser in a single-window mode. Within one window, it's impossible (AFAIK) to arrange tabs the way you mentioned, you would need separate windows. If you'd like that functionality, the above linked extension should work great.

From the report on the previous incident (Feb 2018), it looks like NTSB determined that the root cause was a cracked fan blade in the engine that should have been spotted on a previous inspection but wasn't. That doesn't just implicate this type/engine; it implicates the inspection procedures in general.

I’m surprised by the backlash regarding this tool. Well, I guess surprised is the wrong word. I get that it is creepy. There are lots of websites that do this very thing like whatsmyname.app.

I personally like running my username through tools like this and aggregating my digital presence. When I was younger, I signed up for lots of sites that were the cool, new thing. Checking myself years later, I am shocked by the wide berth I left. Fitness accounts. Accounts from that time I was getting into studying chess. I’m the type of person who is always on to the next hobby. I go 100% in on something, then pop to the next thing. It was a big wake up call to me looking back seeing how much presence I left. Many accounts are so old I can’t even get into them anymore to clean up what’s out there. Tools like this can be used for good.

That said, I totally understand the cyber stalking/bullying concerns. I am also astounded by the cyber sleuth types. In the documentary, Don’t F* with Cats, people spent 100s of hours carefully walking through streets in Google Maps to match a location to a photo they had of a guy who killed a cat on YouTube. It seems to me where there’s a will, there’s a way. It’s scary, and unfortunately a lot of tools we can use to protect ourselves are the same tools that can be used against us. Look at cyber security in general. A black hat and a white hat are people with the same skills, but ethics draw a line between them.

> imagine they are writing a post-mortem after the proposed initiative failed

There are several cases in the US where courts override parents wishes, while it's true US courts tend to give more rights to the parent than the courts in determining what's best for the child - at least for middle class parents - in Custody of a Minor (and other cases), the court held that family autonomy is not absolute.

If you are investing on the short term, your instinct is correct that stocks are overvalued right now. For the S&P, the all-time historical CAPE mean (a ratio of price to inflation-adjusted earnings average) is 16.78, and we closed last week at an estimated 35.58. This is the second highest CAPE in stock market history. In other words, the market can be said to be 2x overvalued compared to what we would expect it to be based on earnings. To return to the mean, earnings need to double or prices need to halve.

If you're investing for a decades-away retirement, it's always fine to jump in at any time. My allocation is simple: 100% total international stock (I used to be 50/50 US/international but I'm accounting for US CAPE right now). I only plan to diversify out of stocks in the far future. I am diversifying across time.
first they came for the miners... As Nvidia opens itself to those games, i can see how Russia or China say would legislate for the drivers to have to refuse to run say specific crypto algorithms or specific neural nets training if it includes specific names, terms, phrases.

"RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent."

open source drivers have been long due. Now there is real $Billions staked on that need.
> These failures are anticipated

Sort of. The possibility of some types of failure is anticipated in the design of other parts of the engine. But there are also inspection procedures in place to ensure that engine parts that might fail are replaced before they fail. A report on a previous incident in Feb 2018 (referred to upthread) says that the root cause was a cracked engine fan blade that should have been detected on a previous inspection but wasn't. Failures that are supposed to be prevented by inspection and replacement of parts are not necessarily also allowed for in other parts of the design. So it's quite possible that luck is involved here as well and that a future failure of this type could have much worse consequences.
Sure but the OEM version of Windows is not a walled garden.

Frankl's thoughts are interesting but unfortunately he lost me at "Suffering is an ineradicable part of life". This seems true if and only if one identifies with one's body/mind. If one chooses to identify with say "life" and not a specific body/mind, suffering might be eradicable.

I "ship appliances" by sending fully provisioned virtual machines to clients. A connector (or gateway) is an on-premise piece of software that allows a machine on another network to access internal resources. The interesting data resides on-premises, most of the time. Not all application data is stored on-premise. I'm not sure what you find unclear about "site-to-site VPN".
Having shiny cool tech to solve problems isn't all too different than having 1. a hip office to work at, WeWork-style 2. wearing the latest fashion or latest cool hoodie if you're in SV 3. latest mechanical keyboard design ... the list goes on and on. It makes everything easier, 1. you can hire easier because the hip engineers see new shiny thing and would love to work on it most likely even if there is a slight pay cut or even if the product doesn't appeal to them as much as working at another company, senior engineers tolerate shiny new tech because a. they know they were once awestruck by other technologies when they first came out b. there is always a non-zero probability the shiny new thing is actually fundamentally better not just a short lived fad.

It's not a great explanation because it's a human issue, which usually as its solution has a mixed bag of technical and emotional reasons.

I think you chose a weak interpretation of what they said to make your point. I don’t think that’s what they meant.

We’re talking about a tool here that attempts to aggregate all of a particular person’s social medial accounts. Social media is public. Everyone knows this, your are saying things and posting things with the expectation that everyone will be able to see them.

What you said is something totally different. Doxing someone’s private information is heinous. Nobody is arguing that is okay. I think the parent comment made a good point.

If tech can allow a tool like this to be possible, I think it is arguably better that everyone have access to it, instead of just bad actors keeping it to themselves.
