Wow so much anger in this thread!

Nobody is forcing OP, or anyone, to use Apple Music. You are all aware that you can cancel and choose another service or go back to WinAMP or whatever your music stack is. If Apple Music sucks, go elsewhere. Why is a rant newsworthy to the rest of HN? My guess is you’ll find something wrong with all music service apps after awhile.

So for the rest of us we of course will have to just deal with it all while look forward to your bugless, perfect service that makes everyone happy.

Maybe try Calm for the anger bit, mates? ;) let’s lighten it up a bit here.

> Why do you (apparently) imagine these things are mutually exclusive?

An economic parasite extracts rent. Arbitrageurs add value by reducing spreads, adding liquidity, and improving allocative efficiency.

> Ultimately, Nvidia may feel that it makes more sense to (attempt to) cater to the steady, predictable consumer market for their products, rather than alienating those buyers in favor of crypto miners during a period when they aren't able to satisfy both. On the face of it, not having intimate insider knowledge of their business, I can't say I think it's a bad judgment call.

That's fine; it's their prerogative. But people should understand that it's NVidia's policies, not crypto miners, that are responsible for supply shortages in traditional retail channels and making arbitrageurs rich. The blame is entirely misplaced.

> You obviously think you're very smart and everyone around you is not nearly as smart, but you're just going to have to live with the fact that I and many others disagree with you here. And you've shown with everything after this line that continuing to discuss this tricky (and very interesting) moral question with you would be a total waste of time, so I'm not going to bother.

You're wrong about that, but you're right that I'm going to have to live with the fact that people disagree with me. Same thing goes for you.

I think it's a real stretch to call this a moral issue. But you're right that this conversation is unlikely to have a productive end. Way too many jimmies have been rustled.
Totally true- I went through the process of manually overclocking my 2080ti for max hash rate and the best settings involved setting a power limit that is less than half the card’s 100% limit.

Back in college I enrolled in a human-computer interaction course as part of a double major I was pursing at the time. A large body of newly-published research at the time, in 2016, was finding statistically significant positive correlations between the use of social media and rates of self-reported depression.

As someone who has struggled with depression their entire life, 2016 was the year I deleted my Facebook account. I have absolutely no regrets doing so and I encourage everyone to consider breaking free.
They introduced the world to the concept of renting your software instead of buying it. I will hate them forever for it.
That hasn't been true in a very long time. You can run arbitrary code on a GPU.
Sheesh. Why the FUD?

It would presumably work exactly the same way as Google's existing videoconferencing hardware:

https://workspace.google.com/products/meet-hardware/

In other words, you pay market value for it, it doesn't include advertising, and Google is contractually obligated not to snoop on your content.

Which is why even Google competitors use this hardware, because the legal and technological protections are strong enough they don't worry about Google stealing their IP.

Yea same. Inflation now has been lead by automobiles and semiconductors as far as consumer prices are concerned. And go figure that’s due to just-in-time manufacturing having a black swan event.

The idea of hyperinflation meaning 20%-50% increases in prices month over month is nonsense. People point to countries like Germany at the end of WWI as if it’s relevant or telling - it’s not. The circumstances are so completely different you might as well argue we’ll have deflation because of it. Pure nonsense.

There’s some concern about asset prices, though. Again, this is general inflation, however.

I’d love to see a well-reasoned argument saying we are heading toward hyperinflation (somehow the U.S. only). But… I’ll believe it when I see it.
> From my uninformed point of view

Due to the tone of your over-confident first post, initially I thought you were a lawyer on Facebook's payroll making a deceitful argument.

You really think Facebook's lawyers would advise disclosing a link between Facebook usage and depression found in their internal studies? Do you really think that Facebook would even ever allow for that conclusion to be reached in this particular internal study? Come on.
My parents put me in a private school for K-3 for this reason. But then threw me in public school for 4th grade because my dad wanted to buy more audiophile equipment. I was constantly ahead of the public school material for 5 grades. In high-school, I took the SAT-I without studying and aced the math section. (Plot twist: I was white and not rich amongst mostly rich white and Asian students.)

On a tangent, I had to decline a roommate because he expressed "the scientific method is racist." That was it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Thanks for the link to the book review and the summary of claims! This is a lot more informative than the original article.
Very few shops can do what you're describing. It's not something that is often worthwhile enough to get budget and engineering time. If you're reaching into your backups for a full restore then you're going to have data unavailability due to the nature of how cold backups work. Having delayed replicas and warm backups are a godsend when you have them but lots of shops don't want to pay at least 2x for their production db cluster and know the tradeoffs they're making.

You can't, which is the reason we need government regulation. This clearly isn't self-regulating (like most things) and the purpose of government is to act in these matters on behalf of society.
Most of that Google can't do anything about, because it's not under their control.

And it's really a question of money. If you want to fix all those mundane problems you describe, literally every one can be addressed by renting a better pipe and buying and setting up better equipment.

This Google product is clearly designed for high-end offices that already have all of those things under control.
That's not necessarily false, but it is missing the point.

The problem artists and other people have isn't that the individuals recording are having less fun, it's that they're ruining the show for everyone else.

If I'm seeing a band I love live, I want to see the band. I want to pay attention to the way the frontperson interacts with the audience and the expressions they make as they sing. Those are subtle details, and someone holding a bright shiny rectangle above their head and blocking my view is distracting.
In 2021, it's hard to argue that any use of social media (and to a large extent, allowing technology to permeate your daily life) is desirable, and quite easy to argue that it's to your detriment.

Funny, a bunch of years ago I'd look at groups like the Amish or religious Jews, whose ways naturally kept them out of these trends - as somewhat backwards, and missing out. But now it seems like their ways shield and protect them from these things in a way that may soon be the envy of most others.

They have been going the other way recently:

Proving that Facebook "causes" depression seems like a pretty high bar. Showing that Facebook contributes to or exacerbates an underlying propensity for depression seems to have strong support in the current research. The more interesting question is how does Facebook amplify this as an underlying tendency of social media in general (or even what we euphemistically refer to as "being online")? Who's more depressed, Facebook users or Twitter users? Why is that?
Your second paragraph is more reasonable but it is in conflict with the first.

Do you deny as stated by many news agencies that the CIA stated or leaked that Russian agents impacted the 2016 election? What about the 2020 election? Is the CIA lying? Did Russian agents or other hackers just sit that one out?

There is so much evidence of election fraud and odd irregularities throughout the United States … the question is whether there was enough of it to impact the results. Arizona came down to 0.3% of the vote and Georgia was razor thin as well. States like these are decided by how votes are counted in a single county (Fulton and Maricopa in these cases) due to the high population concentration in a region of the state. Questioning the results (regardless of which political party) is not lying especially given the thin margins; it is healthy for democracy and gives more confidence in future election results.
I see the issue both on the same computer, so loopback, as well as on two computers on the same LAN. I tested with unidirectional traffic. Pretty easy to test for yourself. The problem appears to be with the TCP protocol implementation. For UDP transmission speed is the same both ways.

I someone who hasn't bought a /new/ card since a 980ti, I find this talk of 'crypto burned gpus' to be a bunch of hooey. 1080ti x3, 1660ti x2, 2080ti x2... (We keep three gamers in cards around here, those aren't 'oh noes, this one fried, get another)... not one of them has had an issue.

Nor did the six P104s I picked up for an research project. And those cards smelled.. funny. I'm pretty sure they'd never seen aircon, and had no identifiable oem markings that I could find, but afaik, they're still chugging along 18 months after /whatever/ was done to them in their former life.

Honestly, I wonder if 'gpu burn' wasn't nvidia's first attempt to mitigate the cashflow drain of the crypto-cast-off-market.. before they decided it was more convenient to blame the need for drastic measures on a supply chain issue of their own design. -sigh-
Windows historically defaulted to accepting timestamps when negotiated by the peer but didn't initiate the negotiation. There are benefits to timestamps and one downside (12 bytes overhead per packet). Re. syncookies, that's an interesting problem but under a severe syn attack, degraded performance is not going to be the biggest worry for the server. We might turn them on but for the other benefits, no committed plans. Re. pacing profile, no that's pacing implemented at the TCP layer itself (unlike fq disc) and is an experimental knob off by default.
Not saying you are wrong, because I wouldn’t know,

But like, how are you able to tell that generally people would have difficulty moderating their use of something shortly after they first begin to use it, generally tend to also have difficulty not beginning use?

That seems like it would be hard to measure/observe ?

This is a huge issue with social media and Instagram in particular. I see it a lot on YouTube as well. It’s like the Joneses suddenly became EVEN further ahead of everyone because the internet has such wide reach and only selects for the best of the best.

It destroyed my marriage personally. My ex became obsessed with being the “BEST”. Went as far as creating multiple accounts in Instagram to highlight achievements in multiple areas. The obsession resulted in us no longer knowing each other. We spent essentially no time together and time spent together was spent obsessing over one of the accounts.

When I noticed how it was changing us I deleted it. I hope my ex finds happiness in some way some day. For me, I know I’m a much happier person not being wrapped up in that constant game of comparison against people I simply cannot compare to because my life situation is different.
Yes? Other than not being hip, how is Instagram better than Myspace? WhatsApp at least added features over SMS, although it sacrificed interoperability and went all-in on a closed system to get there. Newer is not always better.
> fundamental individual right

Indeed, this is the classic Locke vs. Rousseau argument of whether rights preexist governments, or are just a function of the "general will".

As governments are just aggregations of humans, Rousseau's vaguely super-human view of government seems a pleasant myth when we see the evils of racism repackaged as "Affirmative Action".
This is dumb.

As if literally armies of highly skilled technical miners aren’t going to quickly bypass whatever Nvidia has cooked up.

Once you understand their basics, GADTs are as easy to use as any other mainstream language feature. I wonder if any mainstream language will meaningfully have them soon. Not technically (many do) but meaningfully. Lightweight syntax and fully-powered pattern matching.
> That’s a bit of a straw man, literally no one considers that scalping. It’s generally understood to mean buying more of scarce product than you could ever possibly need with the intent to sell it at a massive markup.

That is by no means the accepted definition, nor an apt description. I know people that bought two PS3's when they came out in 2006, one to play, one to sell. That is generally accepted as "scalping", but they were not buying more than they could ever possibly need.

Many, many people that participate in the resale market are people acting like this. They buy tickets for themselves and some extra ones while they're at it because they were lucky enough to by available at the right time and/or get lucky. Sometimes they also do it for the occassional event or good they don't plan to use.

These are "scalpers" in every single single sense of the word, and the only difference between them and someone that makes a business out of it is scale.

> Scalpers are parasitic rent seekers in the digital age. They do nothing to improve the logistics or liquidity of markets. They merely seek to monopolise supply to extract profit from consumers for a product they did not produce.

Scalpers are just brokers that work in a different product. They make money by arbitrage, where the primary sales market is underselling a good compared to the secondary sales market. Additionally, they provide accurate market pricing because people responsible in the primary market don't want to for whatever reason (common ones includes upsetting ones fans, it being more work, harder to work out contract payments, etc).

And lest you think it's easy to just point at scalpers/brokers and at all the money they make because they're selling a $50 ticket for $200, consider that those are the extreme cases, and relatively few tickets go for that. There's also many tickets that go under cost. In the same event. By significant amounts. It's not uncommon to get tickets for 20% cheaper on stubhub. In some cases, when brokers have bought tickets and the event didn't sell out, you can find tickets for single digit dollars that went for $40+ originally.

I've talked about this before here.[1] In that example, I pointed to the market conditions for a specific event at that exact moment, where the primary market (TicketMaster) wasn't sold out and charging $39.50, TicketMaster's own secondary market was charging $36.50 for the same tickets, and Stubhub was charging $27. Who reaps the benefit of getting tickets for more than a 25% discount? Who do you think ended up paying for that? Where do you think the funds came from to pay for that? (here's a hint, you need to make an occasional 200%-300% profit in that business to break even over the long run in a lot of cases)

Here's another question, why and how is this different than the stock market, and in the ways it's different, how does it matter to the perspective you're expressing?

But "scalpers" are the people who stabilise prices, by buying when it's cheap and selling when it's expensive. (Remember that a nominal low price that you can't actually buy at is worse for the consumer than a high price that's actually available).
It's garbage. The new tab button doesn't follow the status bar to the top of the screen so unless you like it on the bottom you can't browse one-handed given the giant stretch between opening the tab manager and opening a new tab.

Not to mention the fact the extension ecosystem is still crippled. There's still no user-agent switcher, meaning there are sites I literally cannot access from my phone without installing an old version of Firefox Mobile or go back to using Dolphin Browser. "View Desktop Version" perversely still tells sites you're on a mobile browser.

Yes, your relative hash power does give you a smaller and smaller piece of the pie all things equal as more hardware mines the blockchain. However, the increase in the USD price of ETH and also the demand for transactions on the ETH blockchain have both gone way up (i.e. the cost for a transaction of a given size, a.k.a. "gas", measured in "gwei"), and the balance of those three factors means mining on the same card is currently much more profitable than it was in the past. Uniswaps and NFT's are large transactions and bid up the price of gas, and have been very popular as of late.
I would wager a guess that its due to lack of competition. Apple Maps only works on iOS. DDG is great but the search results aren’t. Does YouTube even have a competitor?

I don’t think you’re a curmudgeon at all. Circa 2008, Google was innovating in a lot of different areas that were very valuable to the average user. The ROI on these services has gone way down.
I suspect it's a leftover from the earliest days of broadcasting. TV and radio were rare novelties, so telling the 90% of the public that didn't have one yet that they had to pay tax money to support the BBC would have been infeasible.

It's interesting that in the US, there was a significant link between the broadcasters and the hardware manufacturers-- General Electric owned NBC for many years, and DuMont had their own network. I wonder why this didn't take off in Europe, with the airwaves dominated by a "Philips channel" or a "Thomson network"?

I wonder if there's redundancies in terms of MVC patterns or there's just a lot of worker and irregular processes that don't fit neatly into MVC.

Another thing is to be careful about deprecation and feature roadmapping that's developer-whim-/assumption-led instead of customer-led. It's too easy to say "nobody uses this" or "it's not important because nobody uses it" when it can be vital to certain users.
