Nvidia sells an ever greater percentage of their sales to the data-center market, and consumers purchase a shrinking portion. They do not want to flatten their currently upward trending data-center sales of high-end cards.

NVIDIA's stock price has doubled since March 2020, and most of these gains can be largely attributed to the outstanding growth of its data center segment. Data center revenue alone increased a whopping 80% year over year, bringing its revenue contribution to 37% of the total. Gaming still contributes 43% of the company's total revenues, but NVIDIA's rapid growth in data center sales fueled a 39% year-over-year increase in its companywide first-quarter revenues.

The world's growing reliance on public and private cloud services requires ever-increasing processing power, so the market available for capture is staggering in its potential. Already, NVIDIA's data center A100 GPU has been mass adopted by major cloud service providers and system builders, including Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Cloud, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) AWS, Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Cloud Platform, and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Azure.

It's unclear... to the author of the article who seems not to have actually talked to Joe Rogan or Spotify.
Right. The GP is talking about how Joe has been pretending that nothing has changed.
this isn't really true. To change companies you might need to move cities, but there are a ton of different companies that require aerospace engineers:

SpaceX
Blue Origin
Space Systems Loral
JPL
Boeing
Embraer
Airbus
Cessna
Northrup Grumman
Lockheed Martin
General Electric
Raytheon
Boom
Rolls Royce,
Honeywell
Eurocopter
Bombardier

not to mention the adjacent fields of
Green tech (wind turbines)
Drones/UAVs

There are a lot of options out there
I only noticed now coming back to this thread that crossroadsguy's comment was flagged and marked as [dead]. I'm really surprised, the comment was absolutely fine. FWIW I vouched for it so it should be visible again.
The visible light era of the Universe is relatively short compared to what comes after. People think of this as a long dark night. To some extent that's true.

Another perspective is that this will be the Golden Age of the Universe [1].

I remember the 3Com cards struggling a lot with Ethernet autodetection. It wasn't terribly uncommon to get a complaint about a slow network and find that the 3Com plugged into a hub had decided to go full duplex.

That article doesn't support any kind of conclusion that masks are ineffective. It ranks the effectiveness of masks, but has no "maskless" group to compare against.
Give Brave a try on iOS. Besides offering ad blocking, it can block all JS (unfortunately just an on/off toggle, no subdomain specific settings) and this takes care of most annoyances like cookie pop-ups, article count limiters, ads, etc. On the other hand, mobile websites tend to break more often without JS compared to desktop websites.

well, rain-dancing works against covid. What I mean is that being cautious works, just thinking about masks (which means most probably that you're taking also other measures like keeping a good distance to people) helps.
Cancer treatment is a really high priority for the NHS these days, I think in part because it was an area where there used to be major issues and people died as a result. There are some really aggressive treatment targets for that handed down from on high and woe betide anyone who falls badly behind on them. Where it usually falls down is chronic and non-urgent conditions - stuff where patients won't necessarily die if not treated immediately, but might suffer long-term harm, maybe even lose a limb or their eyesight, or which seriously impact their ability to take part in normal activities whilst they're left untreated.
> One wonders if it is some fundamental assumption

One could even go further...

Russell once compared the movement of the planets around the sun with people carrying torchs and walking around a mountain during the night. Because it is dark, we don't see that people are carrying those torchs and we are wondering why those lights move in such strange ways. Then then sun rises (Einstein presents his relativity theory) and we understand.

We hope such an explanation also exists for the entire universe and its physical laws. But could it be that the explanation is beyond the capabilities of the human brains? I am not talking about complexity or problem size. That could be solved with computers. Maybe there is an elegant, obvious and compact explanation why the universe behaves like it does, but it so much beyond what we consider as logical that if an alien had written it down in a book, we would not even realize what the book is about. Like trying to explain to a dog the concepts of "yesterday" and "tomorrow". Is there a reason to assume that our ape brains are able to understand everything?

Could you explain how craft baking is miles ahead in Oregon?

I'm quite curious because I started baking at home recently. Just for fun, I tried comparing perceptions and expectations about what people consider "good bread" in different cultures.

Just to be clear what I'm talking about - for me personally, factors that make up good bread would be:

* Long proofing times and use of very little yeast in order to allow flavor to develop (as well as reducing FODMAPs)

* Use of grain types other than wheat, especially dinkel and rye, but also rare types such as Khorasan or emmer wheat

* Ideally (and if appropriate), using sourdough as a leavening agent

However, when I had a look at some American artisanal baking content - both recipes and videos - my impression was that it was very focused on (rather boring) wheat bread.
One particular recipe I found claimed to be a real rye bread, but it turned out that they meant only about 30% rye content [1], adding an excessive amount of molasses (in my opinion, sugar has no place in a bread) as well as an excessive amount of yeast with less than an hour of proofing time.

Chain bakeries and supermarket bread are on the rise in Germany as well, but I guess we all agree that their quality is limited in comparison to craft bakeries.

PS: I realize that my question above might come across as a little confrontational, but please let me assure you that it really is well-meant.

[1] I should mention that there's a very likely reason why they didn't go for 100% rye: Enzymes naturally occurring in rye cause problems during baking (resulting in soggy bread) if more than about 30% of the flour is rye, unless you are using sourdough. Judging from the recipe complexity, the author didn't want to burden their readers with that topic.
Sounds pretty hypocritical to sign a massive deal with a censorship clause included and tell users "don't worry nothing will change".
Thank you for the detailed response. As a layperson, these specifics are over my head.

Assuming everything you say is true, that still would not rule out a lab leak of a virus collected from nature, would it?

>You can't do it in the time we've been able to handle viruses like this or modify them in the ways we can. You'd have needed to start a few decades ago, have tools that we've only just invented, and a huge number of willing test subjects.

The BBC has been covering this non-stop since this was announced with literally everyone (including weathermen) dressed in black.

That being said, this is a momentous event and a very rare one considering the longevity of Prince Philip and the Queen.

The Queen Mother died in 2002 and King George VI in 1952. Pretty much no-one alive today can remember a similar event or a time without Prince Philip as Consort, so it's difficult to judge whether the BBC is doing too much. It certainly is a historical day.

Edit: in fact it seems that the last time the spouse of the reigning monarch died was when Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, died in 1861. It's interesting that it was also during the reign of the previous female monarch.
I also couldn’t get into Crime and Punishment, and I read a lot of books and loved The Brothers Karamazov. The idea of just quitting books that you enjoy is really important... for me at least, I feel like I get more out of the top 10% of books that I read than I get out of the bottom 50%. Sometimes a great book only clicks when you’re 1/4 of the way through it, though.

> Cloth masks at a community level are basically wearing the same condom everyday and the condom is full of holes.

That's not an accurate comparison at all, and I think you have completely missed the point.

Using a condom perfectly results in the fewest pregnancies. Using it typically (ie, once in a while you have one break or slip off) results in more pregnancies than perfect use, but still many less than unprotected sex.

The same logic should hold for masks.
Using them perfectly (ie single use, medical grade quality) results in the fewest infections. Using them typically (ie, non-medical grade cloth mask, wearing the same one more than once) results in more than the perfect use but still less than being unmasked. It is not a "rain dance"

If you are trying to make an argument that wearing a mask makes you equally as likely to get infected as being unmasked, I don't know what to tell you. You're just straight up wrong.

Edit - because you added your article link after I was already replying: you cannot generalize the usefulness of masks on healthcare workers who are typically very close to patients and breathing the same air as them, touching the same surfaces as them for extended periods of time to the usefulness to a community of people who are supposed to be sticking 6 feet apart.

Yeah if you are standing a foot from a sick person wearing a mask and they cough in your eye, and you get sick, it's gonna seem like the mask did nothing.
The only reason I have a Spotify account is for Joe Rogan's podcast. I'm a Youtube premium member, so all the music I need comes from Google, except for Joe Rogan.

He's a pro weed, universal health care loving, self-described left of center guy big in the MMA and stand-up comedy circles.

He now has the world's most popular podcast, but because he frequently has guests who are right wing, despite debating them about these things on the show, he is attacked for giving these folks a platform to spread their ideas.

Due to his expertise in MMA and the fact that he's a formally trained fighter and martial artist, he was shaken by an event he witnessed:
The fracturing of a woman's skull by Fallon Fox, a transgender woman who hid the fact that she had previously been a male, and had recently transitioned from the league. He commented on it.

This put him in very hot water with the trans activist community, despite the fact that the vast majority of the American public has similar concerns.

The reality is this deal made Spotify a lot of money and brought them listeners and advertising revenue. You don't know who he is, but you aren't the target audience, and your opinions and the opinions of the employees don't matter. Spotify exists to make investors money by creating value for the listeners. The employees shouldn't have any power over how it does that, because they own as much as the equity they've been given, and nothing more.
I’m not sure that’s the correct interpretation from the link you provided.
A guy I work with has 'balls' in his name. Yes, he and management expect people to keep their mouths shut.

It's important to understand the distinction between chimeric and mosaic viruses.

Baric makes Chimeras. CoV-2 in comparison to the other closely related viruses in nature, is a mosaic. Lots of little changes all over the genome, not big copy and pastes.

I have the opposite view: Google feels so obsessed with pushing Google branding on Chrome users that the UI seems to constantly be suffering because of it. Apart from a recent discussion to remove the densest UI view, Firefox has generally provided a better, more user-oriented UI than Google.
If you do switch, check out the temporary containers addon. It makes use of the Firefox containers tech to provide the anti-tracking benefits of incognito but maintains history and isn't detected by websites as incognito mode.

There are so many protected classes and reasons why firing is illegal, and people are so litigious, that months of documentation, warnings, improvement plan, etc. is required to fire someone with HR’s approval. And even then usually you give some severance to ensure lawsuit isn’t filed.

Partly, yeah.

If priority isn't clear, you spend hours on a bug, realize it's minor, realize the fix is difficult...and extrapolate that to the remainder of them. Morale sucks.

> And it takes a special kind of new hire to have the expertise to parachute in, recognize that work needs to be done, and then do it with little supervision.

About 6 months into a job I realized this was what I needed to do and totally cracked. Didn’t know the questions to ask or the way to learn what I needed to so I burnt out quick and quit. My fault for sure, but there was a ton of pressure to identify issues and fix them because senior people were “just too busy”.
Honestly, I’d have approached it differently.

Close everything older than 2 weeks. If it’s important/relevant, it will crop back up. If it’s not, then it stays unfixed.

This can be really uncomfortable to do. But it’s how I’ve rescued a couple of teams that I’ve led as either an EM or Tech Lead.

Put another way - if everything is important or “must fix”, nothing is.

So to the author: that seemed like a waste of time. I would not have done it because I’m not convinced the outcome would have been meaningfully different from my tactic.
Your "Texas vs. Federal Government" argument is weak:
