The point they are making is that many others made other sacrifices to keep making their rent, when it turns out they didn't have to

Some didn't sacrifice anything and just invested/consumed their money or nothing instead of paying rent, this group has accurately predicted that there would not be consequences, some people find that annoying

Regardless, its good that landlords are being made whole as that is a core element of the economy that had been neglected in a lot of the calculus

> Yeah, I agree that webp looks better for many of the images. For most of them it comes back to the subjective issue that webp (and VP9) choose to err on the side of blurring detail they can't encode, while jpeg XL (and x264, etc) try to keep all the detail they can at the expense of more artifacts. There are very vocal proponents of both approaches, and personally I think it varies by the image content.

In VP9/WebP this wasn't a "choice" so much as they were optimizing for good looking marketing graphs instead of pictures. You get blurry images if you target a metric like PSNR instead of actually looking at your output. x264 does have a few different tunings, the film one will try to turn detail to noise and the animation one won't.
People are not all bad, and not all good, and not the same all the time. You can intensely focus on all the bad and choose to view the world through those lens, but I prefer to look at the good also, and assume that people are not solely without concern for others.

“””Another great Chinese expression is "calling a deer a horse" (指鹿為馬; zhǐlù-wéimǎ) which is based on the story of Zhao Gao which goes as follows:

Zhao Gao was contemplating treason but was afraid the other officials would not heed his commands, so he decided to test them first. He brought a deer and presented it to the Second Emperor but called it a horse. The Second Emperor laughed and said, "Is the chancellor perhaps mistaken, calling a deer a horse?" Then the emperor questioned those around him. Some remained silent, while some, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Zhao Gao, said it was a horse, and others said it was a deer. Zhao Gao secretly arranged for all those who said it was a deer to be brought before the law and had them executed instantly.”””

Yes, I think that players should be offered what they are worth. At this point the cat is out of the bag. College head coaches are getting paid millions per year (look it up, its all public), the assistants are getting paid 200k-800k. The athletic directors get paid $400k-$800k. Strength and conditioning coaches are getting $150k. Every year coaches leverage the public nature of their salaries to get better offers. Apparently the free market works great for everyone except the athletes. Strange how that works.

For some reason, the schools don't complain about how much money they are paying the coaches. They don't complain about how much money they are spending on facilities. They don't complain about how much money they spend on marketing. But for some reason, when the public starts talking about paying players, they start complaining and making excuses. If you want them to play for the love of the game, then get rid of scholarships. If you want them to be professionals, then pay them.

And yes, that will create inequity among players. That's fine. I wasn't worth the same to my team as our star quarterback (who now is a backup in the NFL). Its the way the world works, especially the world of sports.

Taking a look around this thread should make it clear that even if patents are legitimate, many patent trolls are not. They are frequently going after entities that are not actually infringing, or threatening people with obviously invalid patents, because the legal system makes it cheaper to pay the troll than go to court, even if you will win.

(But you probably have a point that if patents are legitimate than an otherwise ethical patent troll would also be legitimate)

I agree with your statements. But it's not that I am shunned from the group, it's that some have self-shunned.

But there's also a bunch of people I really enjoyed hanging out with that I now only see rarely, and definitely not when I host an event.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but part of “the right,” American Christian evangelicals, did indeed create the format of cancel culture that we see today. The linked article has a decent overview.

It’s not totally accurate: boycotts have been around much longer, and can serve broader purposes. I think it’s fair to say that evangelicals were the first to boycott companies based not on their systemic practices but on individual people’s lifestyles.

I remember in the 90s when Amy Grant, a contemporary Christian music icon, was shunned because she got a divorce. Fast forward to 200X when the Dixie Chicks were then canceled for criticizing GWB. We could also jump back to Bill Clinton’s impeachment…

Cannot reply to deeply nested posts, so I put the answer up here:

> This is not a necessity, but an implementation choice.

The performance of Julia relies on algorithmic specialization, and since you do not know what input types your code will receive, you cannot take advantage of clever specializations. I understand that you reject the concept of allowing user types that can be used by generic functions, but then you throw all the performance out the window. I want to do fast linear algebra, but your library says "no special static arrays!", "no special handling of diagonal matrices", and in general no exploitation of special structure in user types.

I want to calculate fast derivatives, but your library doesn't accept dual number types.

Your code will never be fast if it's only fast Float64, because it's when my special type elides all computation that the real speedups arrive.

> "Specialization" is an unnecessary step when everything is explicit from the beginning.

But you cannot know what it should be explicit about. I give your `sum` function a special Range vector, or a BitVector, or a OneHot vector. What should it do? It has to fall back to the same thing it does with all arrays: add-add-add-add-add. What is the norm of my UnitVector type? Your library has to ploddingly square, sum and sqrt. In the meantime, multiple dispatch just replaces the call with the number 1.0.

> If "matlab with fast loops" is "nothing" to you, sure.

As a daily user of Matlab for 25 years, several tens of thousands of hours of grudging use, I assure you it would be less than nothing. Matlab is a tragic, horrible mess of a language, and it's not even that slow! I rue every hour I've spent on it. If Julia were slow, and Matlab faster, I would still prefer Julia.

Also, Matlab has OOP and sigular dispatch.

> But there's nothing wrong that each user has different favorite parts of the language!

Well, as I am trying to say, multiple dispatch isn't a part of the language. It is the language. Everything revolves around that concept.
A couple of things come to mind. (I work for Amazon, but I don't speak for the company.)

1. As with any other big company, it depends on your manager. I've had good managers my whole time at Amazon, so I've been a happy camper. If I continue to have good managers (they do change often), I could see myself staying for a long time. I like working at Amazon. With a good manager, you may never even have to think about the whole 6% thing.

2. If you get bored here, it's your fault. Amazon's active in so, so many disciplines and I've had many otherwise satisfied teammates leave our team because there was another exciting team doing something they'd never touched but wanted to get into. These are the kinds of moves you'd have incredible difficulty making when jumping from one company to another ("you're a game developer? why on earth should we think you'd be good at <pretty unrelated thing>?!"), but inside Amazon, these moves are possible, and the possibilities are pretty exciting.

>Why is this better than schools bidding on player contracts? Would you argue that when Patrick Mahomes got a $150 million contract, that wasn't the free market making an assessment of his value?

I think completely open bidding on players will cause more problems. Like I said, you can have teammates in which one is worth millions and the other is worth nothing. They would both be putting in the same amount of work and ostensibly be doing the same job, but one is just drastically better than the other. That might be worse for public perception than them all getting nothing.

I imagine any system of paying players would probably come with both a floor and ceiling for how much a school can compensate a player.

Also this isn't really the point of your comment, but like many athletes Mahomes has never and potentially will never sign a true free market contract with a team. He was drafted by the Chiefs so they had exclusive rights to negotiate with him. His huge extension was negotiated with the Chiefs during his initial contract which means he couldn't field offers from other teams. If he was a true free agent, he would have received even more money. He was willing to take a discount on that value for the added security of signing the contract now and guaranteeing some portion of that money. It is endorsements where someone like Mahomes can see his true free market rate because he can have the Nikes, Adidas, Gatorades, etc of the world competing against each other. Giving college players NIL rights gives them the opportunity to cash in on those free market endorsement deals.

The biggest lawsuit judgments are qui tam cases, or “on behalf of the king”, more commonly known as “whistle blower” cases and come from the pharmaceutical industry. What this means is there is always a bad act involving money over health (typically also involving a fraud of some kind), an employee that attempts to bring the fraud/bad act to the attention of supervisors (not knowing the company is fully and intentionally engaging in the unlawful act), and then retaliatory action by the company against the employee/whistle blower.

Just 2 years after this case, Pfizer was the defendant in another qui tam case for…off label marketing of another drug.

There are always jerks who do things like this, but they're normally quite in the minority. I don't base my decisions on the few exceptional cases if there is a large cohort who gets helped.

If you want "means testing" how about we "means test" the landlords. If the net worth of the landlord is above $25 million (or $10 million, or whatever, pick a useful number for cutoff), you don't get any assistance--losing 12 months of rent is a rounding error to you.

This will help avoid the "feeding the landlord banks" problem.
I’m not following the point you’re trying to make. Defending Taiwan and sinking Chinese ships in modern combat is not even close to the same kind of war as Iraq, Afghanistan, or Vietnam where the population (in some respects) was against U.S. presence except in the case of Iraq where the U.S. demolished all of the Iraqi military in a couple of months when engaged in actual nation state level war. In this scenario I doubt a single soldier would be deployed except to Korea or Japan just in case. Certainly not to invade China or something crazy, and there’s little reason for any to be on the island of Taiwan where, as luck would have it, would be actively cooperating with American forces to repel an invasion.

Why would the Taiwanese not fight against an invasion of their country? Are they just wasting money buying missiles and planes to defend their island against China for no reason?

I think you just have a slant here and aren’t thinking about how these forces might interact. Comparing the invasion of Taiwan by China in 2021 to U.S. war in Vietnam is very confusing. Maybe you’re trying to make me angry by saying the U.S. lost the war? I mean they did “lose the war” in the sense of “why are we killing all of these people again? Let’s go home and stuff.”. But who cares anymore? This isn’t sports where we are keeping a score.
