How would Intel go bankrupt when their net income is still $20 billion?

Sure they’re loosing some ground, but I see no indicators they’re at risk of a near-term bankruptcy...
You're not wrong, but I'm guessing there's some motivation right now to accelerate this given the amount of time it might take to stand up the manufacturing capability.
On the subject of user interface messes, I recently switched away from Chrome on Android to Firefox, solely because of the "tab groups" feature.

I usually can live with UI changes, but reading the reviews of Chrome on the Google store, and the Chrome subreddit, it seems I'm not alone in disliking this change.

This is great! Should really apply to laws as well.
I suspect there's a belief in some mythic market of "computer-averse" people, who if we just round off enough rough corners-- both metaphorically and literally-- they'll be willing to jump from, say, an iDevice or Chromebook, or no computer at all, to a full Windows PC.

What saddens me is that this steers the whole design process. You create a thin candy coating over the system to appeal to this audience, but at the same time, that clogs up established workflows and creates an inconsistent mess for more experienced users who have to work with both new and old UX flows.

Maybe we need to simply own the inconsistency. Build the shiny new experiences as a seperate flow, and allow users to migrate towards more traditional, powerful tools with the old UI conventions. Something like the manufacturer-provided shell you'd see on a late Windows 3.1 PC, where eventually you outgrow it and switch to using Program Manager.
32 kb/s is on the same order of magnitude as dial-up (56 kb/s), not 10x slower.

(I don't know if dial-up is still 56 kb/s these days, but that's the speed historically associated with the term.)
You probably misunderstood : allmost all websites require javascript, yes - but you can selectivly allow only the javascript of that site, their framework etc. and block all the tracker/ads javascript with NoScript/UBlock - and then it is working and probably quite safe. But to mitigate, more and more websites find ways to sneak in the tracker/ads/analytics into the main sites js. So it is not as easy, either.

Which is why I just use basic ublock origin and regulary wipe the browser cache.
You’d just need to add for eg a user_id field to all your records and the extension will sync that to Typesense. You can then generate a scoped api key with embedded filters to only fetch results for a particular user_id

Is there a bug when one line segment is between two letters?
This can also happen if you draw two lines with one row between them and then a third line in between them.

I get that ┼ is a single point, and the logic would be more complicated if it were · or *.

However, I think in these cases the line segments should consist of - and |.

I have seen some economists say that the best corporate tax would, ironically, be 0% Corporate Tax. Why should we double-tax income with Corporate Tax and then Income Tax when it goes to individuals? Plus, the corporate tax tends to cause all sorts of shenanigans.

And this isn't a radical idea. Both right-wing and left-wing publications (such as The Washington Post) have proposed it.
> A $900 MacBook Air would probably have lasted far longer and needed less time troubleshooting than a $500 computer made with subpar components.

I've never seen a more-true statement on this site. Years ago, my wife was using a $500 Acer laptop, which was a cheap plastic POS, which broke after a couple of years. I bit the bullet, and bought a pre-owned Air for $900. She is still using it, 11 years later. I used to have to fix something on her Windows computer every other week. Now I hardly ever have to help her with anything.

A year later, I bought another $900, used Air for my daughter. She is still using that, 10 years later. I bought a new MBP, and gave my son my 7-year-old version. I expect him to get many more years out of it.

People who have never owned a MacBook expect that they "wear out" like a $500 laptop, but they just don't. They cost much less over the long run. It's like hiking boots. You can buy cheap ones every year, or bite the bullet, and pay 3 times more, and have a pair that lasts for 10 years.

> The added taxes from people working in the US more than makes up for the loss in corporate tax. Further, we can then export the goods and make a buck on that.

The US government makes zero dollars on exports. And there's no reason to believe that the people working in the US would make up for corporate tax dollars. That logic is frequently thrown around to justify large corporate tax breaks but to the best of my knowledge, no review of the results has shown it to be true.
Except that in They Live ideology is imposed by the aliens.

He thinks that ideology is good so for him the glasses are ideology, not the cut-through-ideology tool.

But Piper's character didn't have to force himself to put on the glasses. There was no struggle and it didn't hurt.

Using the glasses did cause headaches, but in the real world it's just the same. Once you rebel against bullshit your life becomes very uncomfortable real soon.
What was interesting to me was the claim of pseudomyiasis from ingestion. I can’t imagine the maggots would live very long or even necessarily be in the digestive system very long even if they did live, so it doesn’t seem like a severe or dangerous condition. What am I missing?

CPUC exists to regulate electric companies. However it’s corrupt and is a pawn of the electric companies.

Hi Peter

Thanks for your AMA.
I work for a startup and am planning to file EB1C.
Here's my situation
1. I am currently manager at the startup in Canada. I will complete one year as a manager in June 2022. I will complete one year in Canada in Oct 2021.
2. My startup has an office in USA too

Here are my questions
1. Do I need to file L1A before EB1C? Can I file EB1C directly from Canada?
2. Do I need one year "managerial" experience outside of USA to be considered for EB1C/L1A?

Thanks

Worst job possible? From whose perspective?

The larger corporations and associated financial elite aren't complaining about the current status quo. In fact, by most accounts, it's all working quite well for them.

Based on your observation perhaps the better question is: Who exactly is the gov working for? But perhaps just having to ask that means we already know the answer?
Beautiful. So many annotation tools focus on "text classification" which assumes you've already got segmented samples. In the real world of documents that's a whole challenge in itself.

Another challenge is that sometimes you're working with PDFs and that means not only ingesting but also displaying. The difficulty is in keeping track of annotations and predictions across the PDF<->text string boundary, both ways.

There are understandably even fewer solutions to that problem because it's a harder UI to build.
That’s very good.

I would like to see the feds do similar with executive offices.

I’d also like to see these for charities

Instead of posting a string and a payload to the event bus, which a listener picks up and unpacks to call method in the receiver, just call the method.

It does introduce a direct dependency where it was indirect before, but is otherwise much simpler and significantly faster than all the string comparisons.
I don't see a lot of overlap here and don't understand how they're spurious.

Yeah the polygraph one seem anachronistic, but if people still use them I appreciate the state trying to make sure the practitioners aren't more snake oil-y than the field at large.

I've been thinking about getting away from proprietary Google Services and their backdoors, but the one thing that's holding me back is Google Pay (NFC payments). It's way too convenient and I'm unwilling to give it up. Is there an open-source replacement/reimplementation maybe, or something like a way to run the original proprietary app with MicroG? What about other apps that require SafetyNet?

(Important note: I'm not from US)

(Google's data collection isn't much of a concern for me anyway because I block all ads and analytics — so even if they do collect something, they have no way of showing me ads)
I cant help but think this is tied to the way government funding for schools is handled. Schools dont want to lose funding by having poor performance so the make the performance measures look better.
To be clear I've never heard of HJTA.

Letting schools continue to suck with the excuse that they just need more funding is the sickening anti-education policy.

Yes, an organization that is shitty due to bad policies won't improve, and might become worse, when given more funding.

A few minutes is an exaggeration. I would guess 15-30 seconds. Obviously it will depend on location. Some places it happens faster, some places slower. But I'm fairly certain I've never had to wait more than 60 seconds anywhere in the US.

In fact I just went and checked with my shower - 23 seconds. And I haven't used any hot water since last night.

I have a friend who was in a forced-labor camp and this pretty much sums it up. I recall him describing that the "meat" they were given was usually so rotten than the only way they could stomach it was to basically cover it in chili peppers to mask the taste and smell. But it kept them alive.
This is sort of what GPUs do, since a GPU driver is essentially a big JIT compiler. Branching is very expensive compared to CPUs. Remember that 95%+ of branches of predicted successfully, and CPUs work on more stable ISAs.
I guess you're right. But I was trying to defend Valmar's statement which I still think is basically right in this context. Computers can't really implement non-deterministic algorithms.

It's not a case of time or preparation. You don't show your hand in the middle of a negotiation. Certainly not for something as trivial as an interview
There is a subtlety here, due to Google's scale.

If I sign up with a small company based in, say, Chile, all of my information is likely to be stored there or at least governed by Chile's laws no matter where I am in the world.

The author of this article appears to have engaged with Google on the terms presented in Germany but is accessing Google services from Malaysia. The difference is that Google has a more-substantial presence in Malaysia and is hence more-beholden to Malaysia's laws. Our hero's ability to choose to interact with a first-class service while being treated as a German while abroad has been substantially degraded.
The last three places I've lived in the United States all had tankless systems.

Like most comments on HN, "American System" is a gross oversimplification of a nation of almost 400 million people and experiences.
Maybe not that much. At my British university (Imperial) the majority of the students at the very least don't look "Anglo" and don't have Anglo names.

When I started my PhD I was greeted with an email with the names of all other PhDs starting at the same year, cc'd. So I saw everyone's names (in Office 360- you can see the names attached to the email addresses) and I think there were two or three recognisably Anglosaxon names in about 80 names.

So I suspect it's more that English is used as a lingua franca for students and researchers from all over the world, than that students and researchers are predominantly native English speakers.

Myself, for example, am not a native English speaker :)

Purely from a technological standpoint (not humanitarian or geopolitical), I see annexation of Taiwan as a great thing to get US out of it's current laissez faire in Semiconductors, esp Intel. It would be a good wakeup call for Silicon Valley to stop working on Ad-Tech and start semiconductor startups to live up to its legacy dating back to 1970s. I am afraid, it won't be SV doing this, it will be Austin (R&D, currently Apple/Samsung SoC) and Phoenix (Manufacturing - currently, Fab-42 in Ocotillo).

> I always thought it was my desire to live that keeps me from walking into traffic despite any "distractions", but now I learn from you it was the threat of a $250 fine all along.

Actually, I don't think it's so much the fine itself but the sense that not crossing at a crosswalk is "wrong." The the laws against the behavior (and the penalties necessary for such a law) are there mainly to create that understanding.

Of course self-preservation is also a factor, but I'd wager the behavior is more effectively inhibited when it's not the only factor.
While I'm no big fan of PayPal (I receive 95% of my income via them), it seems relevant to me to quote the entry from the Ardour FAQ about why we use PayPal:

-----------

WHY PAYPAL?

The Ardour project receives the vast majority of the revenue it generates in the form of small payments (less than US$10, and most of them around US$1). PayPal has a micropayments system that saves us nearly US$0.23 on every US$1 transaction. As far as we know, no other payment company offers this (and to be honest, we worry that PayPal may remove it at any time). This has huge consequences for us in terms of the fees we have to pay, and thus the actual revenue we receive when you do pay.

In some jurisdictions PayPal allows people to create subscriptions without having a credit card. This is also something that is not offered by any other subscription-offering service that we are aware of.

PayPal also handles the largest number of countries around the world, unlike many newer online credit card-based services that have limited their current offerings to North America and Europe (at best). Since Ardour is used in over 140 countries around the world, this seems respectful of our worldwide base of users/supporters.

You turn on the hot water, and you get cold water. Then you sit and wait for a few minutes until you start getting hot water.

Depends on where you are. In places I've lived in the southwest, you turn on the hot water and you immediately get hot water. You turn on the cold water, and you immediately get very warm water.

Because it's the desert. And the water comes from outside, so it assumes the ambient temperature. In the winter you might get "cold" water, but it's nothing like the cold water you get in places like Boston or Minneapolis.

Yes I was asserting that algorithms are by definition deterministic. But I guess you can technically consider non-deterministic algorithms but those aren't really relevant here. Computers don't behave non-deterministically. Every program in your computer describes a deterministic process.

We can't even get a modest broadband Internet infrastructure bill passed.

> Widespread fiber-to-the-home deployment would make a bigger difference for more Internet users than Starlink. President Joe Biden pledged to lower prices and deploy "future-proof" broadband to all Americans, but he's already scaled back his plan in the face of opposition from Republicans and incumbent ISPs. AT&T has been lobbying against nationwide fiber and funding for municipal networks, and AT&T CEO John Stankey expressed confidence last week that Congress will steer legislation in the direction that AT&T favors.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/06/starl...

> Biden's pitch to build "future-proof" broadband technology is also facing opposition from broadband providers who don't want to build fiber-to-the-home networks in rural areas. Just before Biden announced his plan, AT&T said it opposes subsidizing fiber-to-the-home deployment across the US, arguing that rural people don't need fiber and should be satisfied with Internet service that provides only 10Mbps upload speeds.

Watch the older videos, not the newer ones.

AFIACT, the videos are a kind of progress log for demonstrating the cat's learning in different concepts. The older videos focused on [demonstration of] learning of more "core" concepts ("food", "water", "pets", "outside", etc.); but since these concepts are now fully "taught", the owner seems to feel no more need to film the cat communicating these simpler core messages, except when they form an interesting sequence or larger idea.

Instead, the newer videos focus on learning of more fringe concepts — ideas that "come up" less often — and so progress is slower in these.

(Note that, watching the videos chronologically, the number of buttons the cat has available grows quite a bit over time. I think the owner thinks that the cat now understands the general concept of associating things-to-be-communicated with presses of word-buttons, and so feels that they can now feed them new concepts faster.)
