This thread was someone saying there haven't been any advances in CPUs and GPUs in general.

You seem to be in a completely different goal post shifting context of some mythical mobile device that has only one core, but actually has multiple cores, but all them are pegged at 100% all the time. This doesn't make any sense in any context since it isn't even true, but it has nothing to do with what you are replying to.
This really just seems like an odd statement to me.

The market cap of just the S&P 500, which is denominated in U.S. dollars, is over $30tn, which is 50% more than the M2 money supply of U.S. dollars.

So, explain to me again how these things should meaningfully be compared?

You say that with so much certainty. It is very expensive for a company to just get up and leave. Especially how Apple likes to get their IP so closely guarded, I can't imagine them to not balk at potentially thousands going across the street. Can you point to any example in history where a company moved an entire office out of spite of the state not willing to give them tax breaks after having a presence for 40 years? I'm sure you can't point to an example where it has happened twice.
Singapore is also small. Countries that small can much more easily coordinate pretty much everything. Every aspect of governance is simpler and there is significantly less controversy around things.

The USA is enormous and has many distinct cultures with very different ideas and interests.

Nice fact! How about this for a proof: Let X_j be a sequence for unif(0,1) random variables, S_n the sequence of partial sums (so S_4=X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4).

If N is the number of uniforms needed to have a sum bigger than 1, you can see that P(N>n)=P(S_n<1).

P(S_n<1) is not too bad to compute, or you can wikipedia it (Irwin-Hall distribution) to find the expression P(S_n<1)=1/n!

Combining the things, E[N]=sum(P(N>n),n=0..infinity)=sum(1/n!,n=0..infinity)=exp(1).
Apple don't make screens at all so the best they can do is buy it from Samsung like they do with all the other iDevices.

I think the issue with a lib like this is that people might use it, thinking they don't need the IDs to be secure... until they need to be. But by then plenty would have been generated, and a lot of code would rely on this sortable property.

In fact, I don't see the point of a library like this, it's trying to encode two pieces of information into one string. Why is that? Why not encode geolocation or IP while they're at it. If some data is important, like the order, then a separate database column can easily be used and that would make for a much more durable and reliable solution.
On that note, also checkout wavelets to generate spectrograms:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelet

I have some implementations here:

On the other hand companies can still mail you junk through the postal system, but they need your address for that (and also now your GDPR consent for processing and using PII, which they mostly will not risk to fake).
Does this practice extend beyond retail? Do AWS product managers look at AWS usage data of their customers sass products to decide whether it's worth launching a competing service?

Its just a normal human emotion towards members of your own tribe. I transitioned out from tech into biotech, and I would probably feel the same if people leveled accusations against all tech people. I am not interested in an intellectual monk like existence. Our subjectivity is what makes us human. But to answer your question, I have no way of knowing where you're coming from other than the information you volunteer. Its no different than me calling my own brother ugly, versus a random person on the street calling my brother ugly. Those statements 'hit' differently. Similarly, you having a frank conversation with your buddies is not comparable to other conversations with strangers on the internet.
People change over time. Sometimes that means you stay in a relationship because family-wise (raising children) or financially it makes sense or the alternatives are painful.

When they set up screen time passcode, have them enter their apple id and password. Then you will not be able to reset it with yours.
You're correct that they're probably not similar, but they are different in ways that undercuts your original argument.

There are almost certainly more than one search engine (Bing, DuckDuckGo) and more than one online retail platform (Shopify, Walmart.com, eBay). But unlike physical businesses, they are literally "just a click away"; whereas in the real world, you'd have to schlep to the physical location of the competing store. Moreover, the barrier to entry to actually spinning up an online retail platform is much much lower than spinning up a brick-and-mortar location (permits, employed labor per location, rent/property costs). Finally, the theoretical reach once you spin up an online retail platform is infinite; whereas one has to go through all of the aforementioned brick-and-mortar barriers for every incremental customer in the world...

IMO, the concept of abolishing generic store brands strikes me as fundamentally hostile to the poor. The other day I was at a Walgreen's picking up some Neosporin ointment, and I found the Walgreen's store brand right next to at half the price. I'm privileged enough to be able to afford the name-brand Neosporin without having to think about it, but I fully appreciate that there are a lot of people that are grateful that the store brand exists. I'm sure Johnson & Johnson would love for the government to prevent Walgreen's from selling its cheaper store brand, but I'm skeptical that this would be good for anybody except Johnson & Johnson.

Likewise, Amazon provides "generic" versions of commodity products. Insofar as it's difficult to compete with Amazon, it's because it's generally difficult to run sustainable businesses solely on the back of commodity products.
The stance of the HSE in 2010 is worth mentioning:

> There is a lack of scientific consensus as to whether there exists a threshold of exposure to asbestos below which a person is at zero risk of developing mesothelioma. However, there is evidence from epidemiological studies of asbestos exposed groups that any threshold for mesothelioma must be at a very low level - and it is fairly widely agreed that if a threshold does exists then it cannot currently be quantified. For practical purposes HSE does not assume that such a threshold exists.

> or how about statically relinking a dynamically-linked binary you don't have sources for?

Even though I don't know why you would do that, I think you could do it by running a modified version of the dynamic linker. That thing basically runs like an interpreter for your binary. It links the code and then executes it. It should not be impossible to modify it to instead dump your ELF again, no?
This is great, I've bumped into this a while ago but lost the link. The maze generated algorithm gradually transformed into a tidy tree is very insightful.
There are many startups created by people with children where the hours are reasonable. As you grow up you realise that there is no real need to work so many hours, young people just waste their time. Saying that, startups can have unexpected situations where you will need to work late or in strange hours from time to time, so you usually need a supporting partner who can take over when you need to cater for those special events.

We can’t expect more women to succeed in the startup world until we’re able to talk honestly about how much harder startups are for those who want to spend a lot of time with their kids.

I think the expectation of being able to do both is quite unfair, at least the expectation of being able to do both well. There are many things that aren't compatible with being a cofounder. For example, you're not going to start a successful SaaS company while being a deployed Marine rifleman, or an NFL quarterback, or EMT, or solo truck driver. We need to stop telling people they can not only do anything they want, but everything they want.

> Go with someone small and unknown? That seems even worse - how are they going to be qualified to judge the bidders?

No, I don't think someone small is necessarily worse -- on the contrary, I think someone small(ish) and local (which makes them less unknown) may well be better. You choose them the same way anyone chooses any vendor or contractor: Ask your friends. Like, if you own a somewhat older car, so you're not willing to pay the "Manufacturer's Seal of Approval" surcharge for having it serviced -- then you'd ask around aming friends and acquaintances about which garages they'd recommend or warn you to stay away from, wouldn't you? And in a sibling comment, someone talks about choosing a plumber. You'd ask other homeowners, wouldn't you?

Your middle manager or non-technical executive presumably doesn't live in a sealed jar. They know other middle managers and non-technical executives, personally and/or professionally. So they use their network, ask colleagues about their experiences with local small-to-midsize providers of such services. Why "small(ish)" or "small-to-midsize", you ask? Because then you're a) negotiating on more of an even footing than you'd be with a "Big 6" firm that has the expertise to put together Power Point decks to bamboozle you, and the resources to bury you in court after the project becomes a clusterfuck. And why am I harping on "local"? Because then their reputation is also local, so you can find out about them via your network. And then you will also contribute your part to it; they won't want you to become that guy who warns his colleagues off from them.
Extend your analogy out in time: Three people in their 90s, laying side by side at their deathbeds. One filled their life with friends and experiences, the other did nothing but work, the other raised children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Now who is the winner and who the loser?

I think it is likely also bandwidth and cpu issues with mesh peer-to-peer.

Unless you're capping the video bitrate, the browser will try to use whatever the browser's default target is, for each connection. On Chrome that's 3mb/s, which is a lot of network bandwidth, and turns out to be a lot of cpu as well just shuffling those packets through the encoding->sending->bandwidth-estimation and receiving->decoding->rendering pipelines.

Capping the video bitrate is more complicated and confusing than it should be. It's better now that the browser implementations are all more or less closing in on "WebRTC 1.0" compliance. But you still need to reach into either the raw SDP you are exchanging during signaling, or the RTCPeerConnection objects, and set the encoding bitrate target.

The SaaS platforms that offer WebRTC APIs and infrastructure all do a lot of work under the covers to set bitrate caps, track constraints (resolution, for example), and other bits and pieces of WebRTC config that work well on a wide variety of networks, devices, and browsers.

Don't most large brick and mortar retailers maintain refund for unsold goods agreements in addition to defects? Generally only exercised if they are complete failures.

Effectively the difference in practice is a matter of financing and grain of operation - older retail would gain more and give no extra to upfront sales of say toliet paper after a demand spike raised prices while Amazon would give them a per sale percentage cut.

At what point does own involvement in consignment sales models become not fine? If it works at 1% consignment. Is it 25%? 50%? 75%? 90%? Or more likely it doesn't exist because the whole concept is a fabrication that pays no attention to real law and operates in the court of public opinion to push their bullshit which wouldn't even need a defendant motion before winding up dismissed by a judge because they cannot point to any real laws?
