>> If I need a 15 minute break, I can start a load of laundry, or run the dishwasher, or do some other chore.

That is not universal. That is a subset of work-from-home. Many people working from home can no more step away for a break than they would if at the office. For instance, customer support/contact people cannot just step away from the phone. Others working at home have employer systems that monitor them live. Any unscheduled breaks get noticed and recorded.

Even amongst highly-paid "knowledge workers" there are issues. I do occasional home days but am not able to take breaks. At any time one of my five bosses might call. We don't have any monitoring software but they expect me at my desk ready to respond, not walking the dog or doing laundry.
They're talking about a PCIe card with a PCIe-to-PCIe switch chip from the likes of the ones available from PLX Technology (now Broadcom). In the absence of chipset and firmware level PCIe bifurcation support a PCIe switch is your only option.

Traditionally, it's been duty cycle to control power output. But there are now also "Inverter Microwave Ovens" available, which can vary the output power continuously.
I will not consider buying an electric vehicle until I can dependably and conveniently access recharging stations comparable to superchargers. Even that is a big sacrifice at 30+ minutes for a full charge - as opposed to 5-10 minutes to top off a gas tank with a similar range.

I live in the US midwest. There are only three metropolitan areas I could make it to one-way without factoring in extensive detours for re-charging. Charge stations with that kind of capacity are still extremely rare here - even 9 years after the Model S launch. Not to mention the nightmare which is compatibility across charging networks.

I want an EV eventually, but I cannot justify it until the charging situation improves by an order of magnitude.
Given that in a century or two it seems possible we would be incentivized and capable enough to cobble together intergalactic autonomous probes to blanket the galaxy and prevent any external civilization from wiping us all out, it seems most likely to me we should expect to find such a system already exists first.

AVR is still fine for many uses but it's a 16bit controller. You can now get 32 bit ARM boards for about the same price, with more memory and better tooling. If starting from scratch, there's no reason to go with AVR.
Destination chargers will be a huge thing for people on road trips.

If your Mom & Pop coffee shop/restaurant adds a few 22kW AC chargers on their parking lot, those will show up in the "find me a charger" navigators in thousands and thousands of EVs. This _will_ drive new business.

If I have the choice of stopping at Generic Station Chain Alpha to charge vs. a smaller shop on a road trip or vacation, I'll always pick the latter one.
bizzare comment. I don't believe for a second the op decided to imply a connection, nor that any single reader would take that away from reading the comment. They were simply highlighting the relative magnitudes of power using something that us techies are likely to be familliar with, and something that is in the public conciousness recently (the power consumption of bitcoin)

Cost of Revenue

===============

> Cost of revenue consists predominantly of royalty and distribution costs related to content streaming. We incur royalty costs, which we pay to certain record labels, music publishers, and other rights holders, for the right to stream music to our users. Royalties are typically calculated monthly based on the combination of a number of different elements. Generally, Premium Service royalties are based on the greater of a percentage of revenue and a per user amount. Royalties for the Ad-Supported Service are typically a percentage of relevant revenue, although certain agreements are based on the greater of a percentage of relevant revenue and an amount for each time a sound recording and musical composition is streamed. We have negotiated lower per user amounts
for our lower priced subscription plans such as Family Plan, Duo Plan, and Student Plan users. In our agreements with certain record labels, the percentage of revenue used in the calculation of royalties is generally dependent upon certain targets being met. The targets can include such measures as the number of Premium
Subscribers, the ratio of Ad-Supported Users to Premium Subscribers, and/or the rates of Premium Subscriber churn. In addition, royalty rates vary by country. Some of our royalty agreements require that royalty costs be paid in advance or are subject to minimum guaranteed amounts. For the majority of royalty agreements, incremental costs incurred due to un-recouped advances and minimum guarantees have not been significant to date. We also have certain so-called most favored nation royalty agreements, which require us to record additional costs if certain material contract terms are not as favorable as the terms we have agreed to with similar licensors.

> Cost of revenue also includes credit card and payment processing fees for subscription revenue, customer service, certain employee compensation and benefits, cloud computing, streaming, facility, and equipment costs, as well as the amortization of podcast content assets. Amortization of podcast content assets is recorded over the shorter of the estimated useful economic life or the license period (if relevant), and begins at the release of each episode. Cost of revenue also includes discounted trial costs.

So assuming "predominantly" means between 50% and 60% (otherwise it would've been specified and used for marketing communications), they're spending about 44% on royalties.

The other 30% is easily "spent", rather allocated, on:
"credit card and payment processing fees for subscription revenue, customer service, certain employee compensation and benefits, cloud computing, streaming, facility, and equipment costs, as well as the amortization of podcast content assets"

This is in line with the "Apple spends pays twice as much royalties with Apple Music".

> it seems weird to describe

It's not weird to take issue with mendaciousness and pass moral judgment on it. Most of the responses here take the form of an argument that says, essentially, that if something is possible and/or not illegal, then it's okay, which fundamentally recasts the context of the conversation to give that perspective a kind of leverage that it doesn't have in the original, moral context.

This is all moot regarding the specific case, of course, given the reply of the original commenter, who clarified that it was not intentional (and who agrees that it would be scummy if it were intentional). But I find it disturbing the number of people here who were willing to jump in and argue for the "nyah, nyah, I'm not touching you" take, as if that were a serious argument, i.e. in the event that it were taking place in the context they desire.

But on the topic of litigating the point both figuratively and literally, legislatures and courts, not to mention private businesses, do have the power to say, essentially, "We see what you're doing. Knock that shit off." E.g., a law that addresses unfair practices by laying out that something can be a cause for action not only if a person makes an untrue statement of material fact, but also if they fail to state "a material fact necessary to make other statements made not misleading". The responses here are pretty devoid of any kind of indicator of an awareness of this, and instead come off as My First Attempt to Exploit a Legal Loophole.

I don't know about today, but 15 years ago when my company held presentations about the value of print advertising that's grossly under bought, (with permission) we'd put everyone's favourite take out Pret sandwich in front of their seats, with the advertising sources on green fanfold line as placemats. We couldn't get better than 50 50 for exact choices but given the advantage of permission to obtain personal information we asked the secretaries with a (disclosed as payment for data) bribe. The line prints did the talking just as raw data - in 05 data mining was too precious for stunts and Xeon hadn't surpassed our ES45 alpha servers for system bandwidth.
> It's all just ludicrously deranged mental gymnastics to justify the fact you don't want to pay for anything.

This is incredibly backwards. I want to pay for what I want. That's how it works with literally every other product on earth, including the movie theater you brought up. I don't have to spend $80 for 4 movies when I only want to watch one. I don't have to spend $20 on bananas, apples, grapes when I only want a mango.

Nearly all of these "clean up" scripts are a horrendous idea to run on your machine, I see right at the top that this script disables SmartScreen, a service that absolutely should not be disabled unless you want your machine to get owned.

It then proceeds to set your current network as Private (aka "open all the ports") regardless of which network you're connected to - hope you're at home! Other changes are completely superfluous, like disabling "3D Objects" which has already been disabled in the latest Windows version

Pretty much anyplace where someone commutes into a city from comfortably outside the city is going to have a substantial commute. I'm actually very convenient to a decent commuter rail system to a city with a good mass transit system. And it would take me around 90 minutes door to door to commute in. It would be shorter if I lived closer in but it would be hard to be much under an hour.
What I try to keep in mind is that for these things to work, you have a few influencers at the top, making money and creating "content" and you have a sea of people who consume the "content".

I deleted all (most) of my social media because I know very well that I'm part of the consumers if I'm on there at all. And if I'm consuming, then I'm not producing. So I try to focus on producing during my day - work (career), personal projects, working out, working on projects around the house, building/investing in my friendships and relationship.

Sure, I also consume sometimes. But I try to minimize it.

the strong argument against this being real is how it is "perpetually liminal", i.e. just on the threshold of verification, but staying there. It never quite crosses over into solid evidence

Aliens could be actively trying not to be detected. It would be quite reasonable if they're monitoring us for them to disturb us as little as possible and not to leave any evidence behind. That's how humans study nature after all.

> I'm confident we'll see memory-on-chip within the next few years.

Depending on what you mean by "memory-on-chip" we've already seen this with AMD's Fiji (2015) & Vega (2017) line of GPUs which used on-package memory in the form of HBM/HBM2 memory ( https://www.anandtech.com/show/9390/the-amd-radeon-r9-fury-x... and https://www.anandtech.com/show/11717/the-amd-radeon-rx-vega-... ).

It was incredibly fast, but also very expensive and limiting in SKU configurations. The resulting 16GB SKU for the Vega 56/64, for example, made basically nobody happy. It was too much for gamers, who then didn't want to pay money for something that didn't help, and it wasn't enough for the professional crowd, who were getting used to 24GB offerings from Nvidia.

> Actually isn't that already the case for mobile CPU's?

Nope. They "just" replace the slot with solder more or less. It's still externally packaged DRAM modules.
That seems like it should be at least a customizable setting and IMO on by default. Let’s hope the HN thread full of people pointing it out helps.
I live in a big city and while I don’t have a car, I’ve stopped using Uber/Lyft during rush hour because walking or bicycling is faster. Boosted Boards (et al) offer similar gains.

Your top speed is less and your average speed is more. Cars never seem to get past 15mph in that kind of traffic.

Motorcycles are nice too. Good top speed, lane filtering to avoid traffic, plus real brakes, rear-view mirrors etc. Feels a lot safer than my electric skateboard used to.
Talk is cheap. Most people talking though don't actually believe that as we can tell by their actions: they support politicians who don't do anything about the bad state of alternative means of transportation. In fact many of the politicians they support are doing more harm to alternative transport than those politicians who honestly believe alternative transport is a bad idea and oppose it.

I suspect the partial in-office/wfh arrangement will be fairly rare. Office space is costly to use only 2 days a week. Companies can do hoteling but it breaks down when you have very technical employees who like very particular desk setups (multiple monitors, chair positions, special keyboards/mice). The more common arrangement will probably be mostly WFH but meet up occsionally in some per-hour rented office for collaboration. Sucks for WeWork to have blown itself up before this :).
Massive turbulence is taken into account in the loads calculation (JAR 25.341). It's not supposed to be in the safety factor.
I think it depends on the age range of who you survey. When I was younger, a small apartment sufficed and I couldn't imagine a long commute. As I had children and started to prioritize 1. space (individual rooms for children) and 2. good school districts, something had to give -- you either pay exorbitant prices in the city for space+private school or you go to the suburbs.

The HOA is benefiting both people. It's basically a "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" agreement. The issue here is that you don't care about back scratches, so you feel like it's a one way contract.

I am a Brexit supporter; but I don't trust the UK civil service to build an ID system that is both secure and privacy-preserving. Based on past performance, they'd build a system that runs 10x over budget, and isn't secure.

I'd want to see the details, but I'd be much more inclined to trust an EU ID system than a UK one.
