>Devils advocate- isn't this a bit like arguing peanut butter shouldn't be uniformly priced, but you ought to negotiate the price of every jar based on various attributes of the farm where the peanuts were grown

Unlike the peanut butter example, the economic value provided to the business by skilled employees varies not just by orders of magnitude but can even go negative.

If you ate $100k worth of peanut butter each year, and some of the jars were only 10% full (or worse, contained horrible peanut-butter guzzling insects that ate parts of your good jars), you'd definitely start negotiating with the peanut butter industry.

They don't need to. As long as the system is transparent and everyone agrees to it, what it is doesn't matter.

Performance based on lines of code? Based on peer evaluations? Based on users acquired? Based on meeting arbitrary goals your director sets that year? It doesn't matter as long as the evaluation criteria are predefined and available. Companies don't even need to use the same criteria, you can choose a company whose process you vibe with.

You're welcome, but I don't think the information/citations I provided do substantiate your point at all. They show that Epik did market itself to right wing sites and individuals (and specifically the alt-right) as early as January 2019 (around 32 months ago),

Your claim upthread was:

> Even the threads here on HN from back then where epik gets mentioned don't mention that stuff.

but the HN search links demonstrate that the threads here on HN from back then where Epik gets mentioned are almost all specifically about that stuff! Not all of that discussion was opposed to Epik, but that wasn't the claim you took issue with.

As to your Google Trends link, yes, Gab has never been an especially popular website, and it was not as frequently searched for then as in the period immediately after Donald Trump's twitter account was suspended, but your trends link shows that the Epik coverage (and the only HN thread about Epik to get any traction in 2018 or 2019) coincided with the most searches Gab ever got (as a result of coverage related to the Tree of Life synagogue shooting) prior to Trump's twitter suspension, and was about three times as much as it gets nowadays. It was only exceeded during the week of January 10th through 16th of this year. Epik itself, of course, has never been as frequently searched for as even Gab ( https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=... ).
Ok, so at a guess then that 64 is an optimum configured set of hardware bought specifically with the goal of reaching that minimum, and for more realistic 'run of the mill' hardware it would be 256 and up?

If someone were to put together a guaranteed low latency config and keep it patched using a custom distro (assuming say 'Ubuntu Studio' would not be up to the task, would there be a market for that? Are there such suppliers? What specifically is different in Apple hardware that it works there?

I read that page earlier, its helpful, but more helpful would be a shopping list that says 'get this: it will work, assuming you install this particular distro'. And after independent verification you could then add alternatives for each slot. For me for instance a big question would if NVidia video cards would break the latency guarantees (their driver is pretty opaque) by keeping interrupts masked for too long in their drivers. If that would be a deal breaker then I'd have to set up a system only for studio use.

> CICO a piss poor oversimplified explanation for weight loss

Kinda reads like an embarrassing cope, tbh. Blaming mystical 'other factors' is stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. At the end of the day, CICO is all that matters. To deny this is to say that you have a metabolism not based on consuming external matter.

Your lack of progress can entirely be explained by just making a plain, good old fashion error with your in/out expenditure. Something we all literally do. We don't need magic involved to explain it. Your body gave you data that you were wrong, but you ignored it, threw up your hands, and now blame "other factors."

Want to lose weight? Use this One Weird Trick those dummy gym bros with no understanding of science have been using since forever.

That is specifically "felony murder", which wouldn't apply here (though conspiracy might?). Felony murder is the idea that you are guilty of murder if someone dies as a result of you committing another felony (sometimes from a specific enumerated list).

If you are a direct participant in the murder you might just get charged with it (perhaps as a conspirator which I think often has roughly the same penalties).
My team uses flutter for several things, including flutter web.

> Is it because they could be bought through the Kindle app on Android and then accessed on an iPhone?

It's the other way round. Back then one could purchase books on Kindle iOS app going through Amazon's payment processor bypassing Apple's payment option. There was quite a big furore around this. After a few back and forth they reached a compromise of sorts where Amazon removed the book purchase flow from Kindle iOS app and Apple was OK with letting customers download and read books purchased outside of Apple ecosystem (through Android for example).

At one point, Apple took an extreme position of only allowing books purchased through their payment option to be read on Kindle iOS app. This was obvious not acceptable to Amazon.
I'd argue that there's other causes of spending. Education, health care, etc.

If you consistently earn more but have less total wealth that to me reeks of the broken window fallacy. There's spending that could be done via more efficient means. eg. Australia spends less tax on healthcare per capita. America spends more tax and then on top of that essentially has a private insurance requirement as well. That's spending that doesn't need to happen but does due to inefficiencies. You could get rid of this but apparently efficiency created by government intervention is socialism (it's not but the USA political system is a mess and people have been swayed).
I can absolutely confirm this, I fell down an unfortunate rabbit hole of posting about politics on Reddit (fairly mainstream politics, but politics nonetheless). There's nothing quite like the dopamine rush of righteous anger, and mixing that with the disinhibition of just being another pseudonym it's quite easy to understand why "enrangement is engagement" is such a powerful and insideous tool to drive people's use of social media. I was a shitehawk and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I'd never advocate something as obviously ridiculous as requiring ID to post on social media or the other sort of rubbish people outside of the tech industry come up with to deal with this problem, though I'd also point out that quitting Reddit did wonders for my mental health and generally made me less of an arse. Facebook strikes me as even worse, even more tuned towards pissing you off and preying on that human need to have the last word.

The problem is, by common projections such as:

> The sound of a modem handshake

Apropos of nothing, but one of the stories I love to tell during interviews was the discovery that a 2,400bps modem was faster than the 56kbps one.

I was designing a "box" to read a group of switches and transfer that switch state information via modem to another "box" at the end of the phone line that replicated the switch on/off positions. During initial testing, I found out that with a 2400bps modem, my system could read the switches, dial the downstream modem and transfer the data and hang up before the 56k modems had even finished negotiating their speeds.

Latency often trumps bandwidth!

That almost sounds to me like saying that the Wright brothers "made a few simple flights".

> first to invent foundational control flow structures such as loops

I wonder how sigma notation fits into this. Clearly the notion of expressing arbitrarily repeated operations using a fixed amount of information (which is what a loop is, essentially) was known at least to Euler.

Also, the fact that the machine enabled these things in the first place (unlike even some of the later machines such as Z3) suggests that its designer was either aware of this necessity to begin with, or at the very least in possession of preternatural prescience. In that case the use of these features in some programs but not in others would be not a matter of inventing them in the former programs but instead a matter of choosing to exploit existing hardware features, or declining to do so, depending on what program you're looking at.

Eric holder, the former attorney general, wrote a memo outlining the concepts around the time of the 2008 financial crisis iirc. The idea behind a deferred prosecution agreement is that extracting money and good behavior out of powerful/wealthy defendants is the best possible option when compared to the "collateral consequences" of fully prosecuting them.
I don't see how it is misguided. We don't know how many people the world can sustainably maintain from a resource consumption standpoint and the carbon emissions tied to it. It's misguided to believe that there are no constraints.

Your population growth point seems to imply a misguided idea. With automation, it's possible the population can stagnate or even shrink.
Sure, but the point is that with futarchy as proposed you don't actually have a prediction market on whether the policy is good, you have the government looking at the delta between markets for and against a policy, and the one for the policy which isn't enacted gets voided so anyone manipulating its price loses nothing.

Big Markdown shorts the "No Markdown" policy, it doesn't get implemented and they get their short positions back again.

There's really no prediction market incentive to bet against them: so long as they keep pumping money in to move the rate, none of your bets on the correct rate of GDP without Markdown will ever get paid out on. They only need to bid it one basis point below the price of the With Markdown GDP futures contract to get their policy, so even if you have deep enough pockets to outbid them and good reason to believe Markdown has no effect on GDP, you'd be risking a lot (GDP is pretty volatile and expert forecasts are regularly more than a basis point out in either direction) to win very little if they didn't get their way.
The only thing different about knowledge work is that you're not producing a commodity.

In this way - you can't just simply count how many pies a SWE coded.

But you still get paid to produce "something". Is it even relevant what that is?

Should you get paid less at Google if you work on a new product and you absolutely crush your job vs you work on optimizing ads and aren't very good at your job - but regardless are able to generate a lot more profits?

Maybe?

I don't have a good answer for this.

I'm assuming "productivity" is somehow tied to "profit". No one cares if you work really hard and get nothing done. But if you work really hard and do your job well, but your boss told you to work on something unproductive - what should happen? You and your boss are considered unproductive? Just you? Just your boss? I don't know.

I think the easiest fairest system would be a mix of levels like FAANG has along with ratings (which FAANG also has) along with transparent pay (which almost no one has).

From a business perspective - you're currently paid the least possible amount it costs to employ you or replace you. If you have a valuable and rare skill set, you'll get paid a lot more, even if you aren't particularly good at your job.

I don't see this ever going away.

checking for jdk8 vs jdk17 turns up

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.infoworld.com/article/36068...

"New Relic found that nearly 100 percent of users are running either JDK 11 or JDK 8, the two most recent LTS releases."

so 17 being 8% faster than 11 apart from when its 10% slower, "maybe" slower or faster than 15 but they chose not to do a like for like comparison....
but 11 being catastrophically lower throughput than 8....

I may get some time soon to do some benching, I dont want to be back on 8, but the benching I did for at least 10 and 11 just made them a no go, completely crashing the jvm was an even bigger issue than the time.

Can the electric company ask for a 30% cut on anything you buy using their electrons? People would just build their own distribution lines to the electric company down the road if they didn't like it.

It sounds like just a bad deal. You don't have to do it based on credentials. They could have grandfathered in everyone, a subset of top performers, or made it based on role; the role USUALLY hires grads, but not always. You see this in manufacturing where machine operators occasionally work as engineers. The flip side is maybe you WERE being overpaid, able to trick your way to some kind of advantage, and got caught.

It does make it more challenging to reward top performers, who might be better off just sitting back and taking it easy, since number of years dictate pay... this is a problem anyway in my industry. People do notice if you're especially lazy or ambitious, but it often all looks the same, and doesn't matter unless you have eyes on management. You wind up being a necessary evil almost no matter what.

I do agree about being too focused on credentials. I could see how this system could do this, but it doesn't have to be that way.
I doubt you're atypical. Based on the smattering of people I know who were able and wanted to retire in, say, their forties to some point on the FIRE spectrum, they pretty much were retired. Oh, they might do the occasional advising or angel investing, might teach a class somewhere on the side, but were mostly retired. (That said, I also know even not so young "retirees" who pop up here there and everywhere doing various consulting and so forth.
