There’s a small, but high volume group of toilet seat purchases — eg, office buildings or apartment maintenance.

No automated recommendation system is going to be perfect; it’s either going to over-recommend or under-recommend. From the way the Amazon system works, we can infer that they have decided that missing to the over-recommend side is a better business strategy than missing under.

And it kind of makes sense if you think about it... really, what are the consequences of seeing these silly over-recommendations? Did you stop buying from Amazon? I bet the vast majority of people shrug or laugh, but don’t change habits.

Also, big one-time purchases tend to be rare, so optimizing a recommendation system around those is probably suboptimal compared to optimizing it around frequent consumable purchases.
> When does the Rust compiler spend most of it's time? Is it at the checking stage?

rustc has a self-profiler that can be used to answer this question [0], as well as a mode that times compiler passes [1].

There's no single reason the Rust compiler is slow, as it depends quite heavily on the code being compiled. For some codebases, LLVM code takes up most of the time; in other codebases (e.g., extremely generic-heavy codebases), it'll be checking-related passes.

Apple knows how much they can get away with annoying, that's why they can push updates that slow down your phone, or make devices less repairable.

Privacy is trickier though because it's based on trust not annoyance and it doesn't take much to lose it. I've already lost trust in Apple. What I do trust is that 'privacy' is currently working for Apple to increase their market share. It also conveniently keeps data away from competitors.

2) money cannot be withdrawn for a certain period of time in exchange for higher returns.

High investment returns with little or no risk.? Overly consistent returns?

Your argument is that if I buy an ETF for gold and they charge 2% to keep the gold safe and manage it. This etf is a ponzi scheme as they need have holders to keep the thing going.

As the transaction fees go to miners you could then argue VISA and mastercard are ponzi schemes?

Personally I would have both and within the handleClick() function do whatever it needs to do and call an atomic updateDate() function (assuming it's updating the date globally). Although for anything generalized standalone function I like to put that in its own namespace, such as helper.updateDate().

You're qualified to speak for a majority of hiring managers everywhere?

As I stated, feel free to place your counter-point in your resume next time you're looking at next steps. We are unlikely to cross paths in the professional world, but I would be happy to hear about your positive success in the job market with these statements prominently displayed.

your internalized reality (of being allowed to resign at most twice per career) is real for everyone

That is not what I stated so please don't misrepresent it. The discussion is about resigning or threatening to resign whenever you don't get your way in a company. The original comment stated:

Boss: What's stopping you from doing this every time you don't get your way?

Commenter: Nothing. That's how negotiating an employment relationship works. Holy shit.

Again for context, the original story stated that the bonus was brought up but the criteria for receiving it was never officially documented or agreed upon. The bosses decided on 30%, and the poster felt entitled for more. He's certainly entitled to feel that, and he's certainly entitled to make his case for it. He's also certainly entitled to resign if he didn't get his way.

But to threaten to resign if he didn't get it, and then resign anyway once he did get it, is just poor form. Like I said, he can do it, he did do it, the company can't and didn't claw it back after he resigned, it's now 15 years later, but this story does not portray the protagonist in a positive light for hiring again in the future.

Yes, you will always need humans to make human judgements but they don't need to be part of a court or central authority. With reputation and consensus incentive systems in place, these judgements can be made by trusted 3rd parties and feed back into the smart contract without the need for a single central authority.

The point isn't to get rid of humans or trusted 3rd parties. It's to get reduce the reliance on a single centralized entity that may be corrupt, inefficient, or malicious.

I have a similar story I’ve posted about before. Cut sugar, made myself do 30 minutes of brisk activity each day, lost about 70 pounds.

Mind you, it got harder to do brisk activity as it went. What started as walking for 2 miles ended up being running for 5 miles. (5 miles became the target after a while so I stopped with 30 minutes. It would take 38-40 minutes at my best.)

Also got hit with COVID gain, so I’m back at it. Bought me a treadmill and am doing at least a 5k every day, training back up to at least 4 miles.

I found a lot of it was consistency. It felt like weight loss had an inertia to it. Took a while to really start losing, but once it started it was easy to keep dropping a pound per week. Even after stopping running for a bit, the weight stayed off for quite a while.

Anyway, good on you (us!) for regular exercise! It really can make all the difference.

>But it’s important to point out that proof-of-work (PoW) is more decentralized than e.g. proof-of-stake (PoS).

The opposite is true in multiple aspects. PoW has infinite economies of scale which inevitably leads to total centralization as all miners but the most efficient one have to shutdown.

PoS can stay decentralized forever because new stakers arriving aren't going to make existing staking unprofitable, forcing them to shutdown, as actual running costs are negligible.

Regarding resistance to government interference aspect PoS absolutely demolishes PoW. Overwhelming majority of mining is done in big industrial warehouses owned by registered companies. They're trivial to find, very hard to relocate and easy to take physical control of.

In contrast, staking only requires a node, which could conceivably even be on a satellite, on a ship, or anonymized using tor or other anonymity network.

>For example, with PoW you only need a single honest node to arrive at the correct chain during initial sync

This argument doesn't make sense, from the start the user has to choose some specific chain and has to download node software for it. Even soft forks starting from the same genesis block may require a manual choice, as it's possible for old nodes to diverge from the new if majority of miners ignores the soft fork.
Chain names are not defined by code over medium to long term, but by dynamic social consensus.

This is not Sales vs Product. This is bad product management, full stop. It is not sales’ responsibility to define the product, it is product’s responsibility to do that, taking into account sales requests, market analysis, executive vision, user feedback and engineering feasibility. In any given situation it takes a lot of expertise and judgement (and often luck!) to know where they need to be focused. Trying to reduce actual product problems to some simple knob between caricatured role definitions will help no one except management consultants. In reality product management failure is very contextual to the problem at hand-—details matter.

Its a combination and a psychological shift to ensure reinforcement of success. I went from 270 down to 200 over 8 months. It slowed down, but went lower over several more months. I started with walking and adjusting my diet. Had I not started seeing success quickly I may not have continued the diet.
When I started, walking up a moderate hill after a mile was tough. It got easier each day and overall health improved. I was eventually able to add some running and other exercises.

Same with food, the body will get used to the calorie restriction over time and calorie restriction alone won’t take you the distance.

Smart contracts are not going to instantly replace government with a techno-libertarian utopia. They are going to make government, lawyer and bank services a lot less necessary. And, they are going to provide a lot of alternative services to people without access to effective government/financial services.

Smart contracts can’t observe anything but time, crypto and signaling from users/automated services. For disputes you need an independent third party to cast a deciding vote. A government judge is common option. But, you and I can agree to grant that vote to a non-government agent instead.

Legal rental contracts are non-trivial. A rental smart contract would similarly require more rules than we care to spell out here. But, “If the tenant and the notary both vote that there is bullshittery going on with the property, rent is suspended.” sounds like a reasonable thing to include.

Certainly, there are plenty of exploitative bosses and we should definitely encourage people to stand up for themselves. I provide new hires with several books, one of which is a book on personal finances that includes a chapter on negotiating a higher salary. It's important to me that people are empowered in their work and their lives.

But this is not the story of the comment I was engaging with. The original comment stated:

Boss: What's stopping you from doing this every time you don't get your way?

That should not be a controversial statement. You should always know your value and worth, and this goes BOTH ways. I would say the same about any role, whether it's sales, marketing, HR, ops, customer service, or whatever else. One can't be unreliable in a company, and expect that not to be a problem for future job opportunities.
