It seems like you are imagining that highly prized engineers are valued for their ability to write bug free code or have their code correctly meet expected requirements.

This individual is likely being paid this amount because of their ability to identify and solve difficult problems. There aren't guardrails for that sort of thing.

As to their replaceability, I think it's a case of it being a safe option. This person has proven themselves, through their experience, that they are worth this amount. There may be others out there who can do the same work but they haven't "proven" themselves.

Whether the value obtained from an engineer paid this amount is worth it is another question. Are they providing twice the value of an engineer paid $445k? Maybe not, but this person is in a better place to negotiate.

What is an 'ordinary' word? The first sentence threw me for this precise term, which was internally inconsistent with later in the article talking about second or third+ English language users, or even, not mentioned in the article, first language speakers with differing backgrounds.

A very odd term to use.

Netflix shuffles media constantly, you have to subscribe to five different streaming sites to watch a show and even then it could disappear next month, and you can't share the account with anyone else. To get good coverage of streaming services you need to subscribe to several.

Meanwhile in piracy land, you sign up to a seedbox, press a button to set up Plex+Sonarr/Radarr, then you're done. Type in the names of the things you want, share it with as many people as you want, etc. Literally all you have to bother with is disk usage and most of the sites I looked at last month had a minimum offering of 500GiB, some boasting 1TB of disk space -- so even that isn't much of a problem.

Streaming services (Netflix ($9) + Disney ($7ish) + Amazon ($13)): $27

A Randomly-chosen Popular Seedbox: $17.89/mo

That includes Plex + etc + 4TB Disk. One-button setup for all the supported services.

So like I said, all this measure does is drive people to piracy. They're literally faceplanting on their way to extract more and more money from people.

When was it not an option to pay for the content people are trying to sell you?

The problem was UX friction. You had to go to a video store, rent a movie, get ready to be raped with fees, or go to a library and hope they have it, or go to a second hand store and browse the selection. You had to have a special piece of hardware or ten, and if a movie you wanted to watch was on a format you didn't have, too bad. That's why people used to watch the same movies every so often. Watch a movie? Doesn't matter if we had seen it already. Let's watch it again anyway. This is how movies like The Big Lebowsky and Friday got their followings, people watching them repeatedly. Like music. This touches on the social impacts of the paid subscription model that is off topic so I won't delve into that.

And then Netflix changed everything. And then everyone else got in on the game, and now you've got worse UX friction than before. You've got to determine which service has the movie you want to watch. You've got to pay for that service, now it looks like per person, for just that movie. And if you want to watch 4 or 5 movies? You might have to have as many as 4 or 5 monthly subscriptions. Or you can rent it for 1.99. But buy it? No, you cannot buy it. I mean, you can, but who has a DVD player and space for a bunch of DVDs?

But tpb has all the movies. And you can own them. And they're all in one place. And as a bonus, they're free if you don't include your VPN service.

Side note, how is tpb different from a library exactly? Besides scale and efficiency, in principle, what's the difference between tpb and a library?

This is just you having "extra" money. I guess it's a demographic thing but do you (and everyone else) not understand that over 50% of people (in the US at least) don't have "extra" money. The money they make is already allocated before it's made, any sort of "extra" spending goes on a credit card or forces some other payment to be not made on time, often incurring fees. In some cases that money would deplete a small savings balance.

This is pre-covid numbers but 69% of Americans have less than $1000 in savings. 45% have no savings, and roughly 30% spend more than they make each month, accumulating and juggling credit card balances / short term loans.

I'm from a poor area in the US and most people have $0 "extra" money. As an example my high school 10 year reunion was a few years ago and the target goal was $20. Even with a year's notice most people said that would be too expensive and they wouldn't have it. ($40 per couple).

We had multiple fundraisers to try and get everyone to participate. The fundraisers were everyone buying extra chicken wings with their food stamp cards and giving it to a local restaurant that cooks them and sells fundraiser plates and a car wash sponsored by the bowling alley that gives a free game to anyone who gets a $5 car wash.

An, but there’s a fine line between simplification and reductionism.

For instance, your condensation of the graph completely misses the mention that people misapply general principles, and it also reduced linguistic creativity to “entertainment” which can mean a far different thing (e.g. one can write a book that’s wildly entertaining because of its characters but that sports none of the linguistic ingenuity I mention in the OP). Not to mention, you couldn’t even decide whether to use the word simple or concise! Sometimes you just can’t get around using a couple of “extra” words. Thus the abominable “/“. (Ick)

State of the art performance is being broken in multiple fields rapidly these days. However, AI explainability has a long way to go. Scaling opaqueness makes this problem worse.

Fine tuning labels black-box style is a terrifying concept to most who are working in fields where great risk must be managed to avoid unintended and disparate impact. Facebook making an oopsies suggesting my friends face in a photo instead of mine with a SSL trained model may seem trivial, but this non-human oversight is concerning for other applications.

If you were rejected by a bank for a home loan, you would want to know why your creditworthiness wasn’t evaluated positively (and banks must explain precisely why to regulators). And if a self-driving car made a decision in a collision, or a CV model performing cancer screening in X-rays that gave a bad result - ...or recommending politically divisive content... - or a thousand other real world examples that have human impact.

I've certainly wondered many times why we don't wire homes for DC right now. Almost everything in my house runs on DC, and the Solar Panels on the roof generate DC, but it gets converted to AC in between with losses on both sides of that conversion.

Solar (DC) > AC Inverter > DC Converter > Device.
(And in the future, there will be a home battery in there that converts that Solar Inverter AC back to DC, then discharges DC back to AC)

All the electronics, all the LED lights, everything that charges, even my car, all are native DC. What's stopping us from have a parallel DC connection for these things in homes that could be powered directly (ahem) via DC without the conversion?
This is actually pretty great thanks.

He warned me I should switch from vi to emacs because prolonged vi usage causes hair loss. :)
on one hand i agree with what you're saying. we humans have done terrible stuff like wars, genocides, famines, destruction of ecosystems, extinction of entire species, etc. and that's only the things we did more or less deliberately. we might cause our own extermination or a mass extinction event "by mistake", and we don't even understand how basic parts of our minds work.

but all of that being said, i think it's also worth considering what a non-human entity with more power than us might be able to do. after all, even the worst examples of humanity are confined to at most "only" causing millions of deaths, but not the eradication of all life on Earth for example. it's not difficult to imagine that a non-human entity, with non-human goals, and with super-human powers, might act in a way that is contrary to our interests, or even to our existence.
I'm actually proud to say I've never paid for a streaming service of any kind at all, or cable TV for that matter And I'm not a young kid. I've bought albums and VHS tapes and DVDs before. Rented movies. But never once paid for a subscription service of any kind. And I never will.

Of course I don't "consume content" (I hate that term, what's with PR and marketing people reducing everything to a business case?) so much anymore, so I'm not quite the pirate I once was. In all honesty, if I'm going to sit in front of a screen, I'd rather talk to people like you on the internet than watch the super strong american hero defeat the bad guy for the gazillionth time, except this time they are sure to remind me that I'm a bad bad man for some belief I have.

They want to run transmission lines at high voltage, so the same power can be delivered at lower current (meaning smaller conductors and less losses due to resistance), then step those down to lower voltages as you get closer and closer to the customer. High voltage AC transformers are very simple and have been around for 100+ years; they're just loops of wire around a core.

High voltage DC transformers would require very modern switching technology, or a difficult and inefficient switch to AC and back again.
