From what I hear most of the innovation is around content creation and studio tools down in LA. The innovation in Los Gatos is more around developer tools and efficiency and deployment and failover efficiency. They are however still doing a lot of work on product innovation but it’s all in the algorithms and less user facing stuff.

My understanding is that Netflix gives huge raises, but shows you the door if you don't perform.

Other companies don't want to be so aggressive, so they take a similar but related tack; give you a lot more money for promos if you perform, and hope you just leave of your own volition if you don't hit those marks and get those raises.
>All of those switches become much more expensive

Wouldn't a more important question be how does the failure mode change?
They do that when you enable the stock "developer mode". Removing the firmware write protect allows you to override that behavior.
ASLR might make exploits a more cumbersome to implement. But the PSP is a co-processor with full access to hardware. So it can read the kernel's memory maps and fully deterministically access whatever it wants to access.

'grow faster' is a bit of a vague statement. What we should be talking about is biomass added, which is what sequesters carbon. Older trees unequivocally add mass at a faster rate, which is geometrically obvious when you consider that old growth tree rings add about the same radius each yeah that young growth trees do, and then consider that area of a circle grows with the square of radius.

What it clearly demonstrates is that the CEO was far less invested in the company than those who worked for him.

What the attempts at building a norm along the lines of, "It isn't a crime, so people shouldn't talk about his finances" is about attempting to keep people from noticing that is almost always the case. It is class-defense, and what won't look good in future CEO interviews is that he was gauche-enough to draw attention to the difference between incentives-in-theory and the real world.

I find it interesting that the last terms in the hierarchy are pastels. If you have one basic pastel, it's grey. Two: you have grey and pink. Three: grey, pink, and robin's egg blue. Pastel brown, purple, and green are easy for the human eye to distinguish (yellow and orange less so), but they never make the cut.

Actually, I speaking a bit off the cuff. I don't recall where grey is in the hierarchy -- it's towards the end -- but the last two are pink and pastel blue.

plus so called team's "integration". Clearly a move to use the dominate position of windows in OS space, to push out competitors like Slack, Zoom, and all others in the communication space.

> Offline account a pro feature: to sell Microsoft accounts, office 365 and onedrive

> Switching default browsers more difficult: to sell Edge and Bing.

> Taskbar is now in the center: to get people to click on icons such as Teams, Microsoft Search, and the new launcher which includes links to Microsoft services like office 365.

All the changes above are not for the benefits of consumers or other business that rely on Windows OS, for example, app developers, partners etc. Microsoft would brand and market them for the benefits of consumers. But at their core, they are about serving Microsoft bottom line. To use the dominate of position of windows OS in the PC(desktop and laptop) market, to push other lines of business from Microsoft. Microsoft have to continue to grow their revenue to justify their market cap right? That is where Microsoft's core interest is and what fundamentally propel them to do. And it shows up in what consumers will end up with, and it's not surprising at all. All that marketing doesn't hide this fact.

And Microsoft will do things slowly, like boiling frogs, slowly so people don't realize. Remember when Windows 10 was launching people expressed concerns about linking Microsoft account to windows and Microsoft replied offline account will always be here? Now they removed it from non-pro edition and calling it "improving our ability to deliver new features to consumers" or "bring consumers more value". Microsoft's strategy is get people to use Microsoft account, so people use other Microsoft services like onedrive and office, and have stronger ties with Microsoft. Now if you want a offline account, you have to fork more money, and a lot of laptop OEMs ship with non-pro version of windows because it's cheaper license. This will deter a lot of people, so people cave in and go with Microsoft's strategy. But in long run, Microsoft will make more money from people with Microsoft accounts than they lost from the cheaper windows non-pro license. The business executives and strategists have all this calculated.

The problem is that anyone can mint an NFT. Verifying that an NFT is actually minted by the artist would likely require some sort of external certification that you can trust. This is done for paintings and other collectibles as well.

What I don’t understand is: Once you have an external certifying authority, why have blockchain based NFTs at all? Couldn’t you save a lot of energy and complexity by tracking purchases in a database?

OP's point is exclusivity. Intel chips are not exclusive to Intel branded end consumer computers.
In designs with a L0 uOP cache, they clock gate the decoder when just running out of L0. But it's really not that much power compared to a giant ROB and bypass network in these newer designs.

Netflix pays stock too. You get a small grant plus you get to choose your stock/cash mix beyond that. So it’s actually for more complicated to value.

I believe you misunderstood the comment. Intel also has undocumented extensions and functionality, that requires reverse engineering. It’s exactly the same as the vendor specific cases here. You were thinking of documented and well-specified vendor-specific extensions, but I don’t think that’s the main concern.
Based on the author withholding some key details, my take is they know more than they say on why the account was terminated. The whole post was written assuming (correctly) that Google is too big to respond publicly and tell their side of the story, which would undoubtedly garner some support.

4 in 10 Older Americans Say They’ve Had the Best Sex of Their Lives Recently
The VIRM double deckers in the Netherlands used to have those food cart elevators. Interesting to hear those are still in use in some parts of the world. The food cart service on our intercity expresses was removed, so in the course of the years those mini-elevators were taken out as well during scheduled revisions of those EMU's.

Now some third party is allowed to provide a mediocre rail catering service, which amounts to students doing a side-job wearing backpacks with hot water and cups and a tray filled with instant coffee and tea and a few cans and packets of crisps and cookies strapped to their bodies making the rounds at seemingly random times and places on the journey. Not quite the same…

Add to that the lack of the frankly brilliant concept of can-coffee (缶コーヒー) from vending machines on the platforms and eki-ben (駅弁) and I suddenly really miss the Japanese train experience.

Because it is.

That’s also what people describe as “barbarism”, generally. So, you seem to agree that nature is substantively barbaric, but be confused that people describe it that way.

Ironic considering the comments that follow. Like

> basically just comes off as a bitch session

I do think your points could have merit but you’re articulating them in a rude way that detracts from your argument.

Yes, the love bombing approach to corporate culture in trendy tech startups is a nasty manipulation technique we should all watch out for, but we should also have some respect and compassion for employees that buy into it and get their hearts broken. Should they have known better? Yes. Is this not that bad in the grand scheme of things? Probably. But comments like this don’t help.

Just a bit of (unsolicited) advice: articulate criticism respectfully with empathy for the criticized. It will make your arguments much more effective.
Undocumented features and functionality become the norm
Yes I understood it as a conversion tracker. The look of the page is nice so my impression is the product would be nice too. I'm not in the market for a conversion tracker at the moment but occasionally I am.

I didn't know what The Segment was and didn't quite understand the value prop vs other trackers, other than easy configuration (which could be enough to pique my interest). A code sample could help. I like that the beta is free but would be concerned about cost later. I can do some simple conversion tracking with GA for free, so I would be looking for something that does what they do better and simpler, this looks promising for that.

I would say: slick page - maybe add a small example of the tracking code to show simplicity. Or an actual screen of the product. I didn't click through mostly because not in the market but I might later if I have time just to give feedback if it helps.
You can forgive an American not understanding this as most of our public transit vehicles are older than us because they never replace them.
I don't understand why Microsoft's developer products (like VS Code and Github) are really great, but their consumer products just suck.
> In the case of the screen, I think it’s much of a security issue.

logic only a fanboy would dream up. I'm sure the same excuse would be given by fanboys if apple shipped a car and somehow managed to make the windows unreplaceable except by specially signed apple glass.
This isn't coming out of nowhere, they have been doing custom ASICs for a while already. The article mentions TPUs as an example. A more recent example are YouTube's in-house transcoding chips: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27034627
I guess you missed all those stories of Apple doing the same thing to developers... even going as far as to shut down accounts when they want to use the features from their apps in the next version of iOS.

I'm not placing any bets on whether they'll succeed. But if they have roughly 50k pre-orders at ~$70k/each that's $3.5 billion in revenue. And while I'm sure not everyone who pre-ordered will actually make a purchase, there are still a ton of people who aren't aware Rivian exists who can fill that gap.

And that's excluding Amazon's orders which they expect to make up most of their revenue.
This is true. I recommend to not use keyboard tabbing while navigating throught the comments. Makes it a lot less confusing and you still do everything.

>> For example, the M1 chip can run Linux.

> No, not in any useful form it can’t.

Yes, it can? Ex. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-m1-debian-linux - you're welcome to point out that drivers for the rest of the system are a WIP, but the CPU is fine and the rest is coming along.
I wouldn't be surprised if the venom was addictive too. I mean it isn't like it had any selective pressure for preventing or causing addiction. Although the latter may come as a side effect.

I can see a purpose for a multifaceted venom - both synergy of "speedballing" the lethal dose and making it harder biochemically for a creature to develop an immunity.

Like always with evolved systems purpose is an emergent thing by what reproduces and survives the best. It is a tautology of "things that spread and stay you have more of".
> You're playing at a rigged game and you will most likely lose.

Then the whole smartphone market is rigged. This is why I as a consumer will not buy a new smartphone anymore.

I went for a year or so without a smartphone at all. What I missed the most was maps, but you'd be surprised to learn how better off you are without social media pinging you 24/7.

I now use a second-hand smartphone without a Google account, and I use OsmAnd for maps.
Selling is an option, or using it for passthrough.
> Many people are seeing all these different vendor specific CPUs as a win. I'm a bit more skeptical, but perhaps that it unwarranted.

Mixed upon that.

Upside - getting software made more portable across architectures and with that, the choice of an ARM or X86 desktop also makes porting to other cpu types less of an effort. Then drivers and lets cut to the crux - support for other hardware via drivers is what holds any other architecture back from the start.

Downside - Moving towards more and more closed/secret source CPU's that more locked in and if they become the norm, then a whole level of developing becomes way harder.

Whilst I'm sure many more upsides and a few other downsides, the real upside in all this will be even better ARM support by the commercial apps. With that, I really do think Apple with the M1 done wonders for ARM and the whole ARM environment.

I'm really curious to learn what is the perception of vector search in general, and if you had any exposure to vector databases of any sort / considering to try one out.
This is par for the course with Google. Many Adsense accounts have been terminated for similarly vague policy violations. I am sure they catch a lot of bad actors, but they also catch a lot of folks who have no clue what they have done wrong, in many cases losing a large part of their income. Google does send warning emails, but they are so vague as to be useless in figuring out the violation.
The suppliers are running in pretty thin margins aren’t they? Did they really have any choice but to cancel those orders or potentially go bankrupt?

If you sit on someone’s shoulders and forget that they’re doing most of the work, you can be shocked all you want when they collapse out from under you but nobody on the ground is going to have any sympathy at all for you.

I’ve worked for software subcontractors and it’s always frustrating when the customer is so excited about all the things we’re going to accomplish together, all the plans that hinge on our mutual success, and isn’t it so wonderful that they’re getting such a great deal on it too?

Meanwhile we’re slowly going broke because we can’t make money on that sweetheart deal loaded with scope creep not spelled out properly in the contracts. Good luck with those plans when we go under.

The old-fashioned systems engineering approach was to accomplish the translation of functional requirements into a plan (or preliminary design package) by using a combination of graphics (UI), diagrams, functional prototypes, pseudo-code, data descriptions, interface control, and other details or special-purpose tools that might be relevant to the application, e.g. special-purpose hardware, unique operating system, algorithm models, etc.
FB CompilerGym: Making compiler optimizations accessible to all
Always curious about this - I work in infrastructure that would be a major public safety issue if it was compromised, and our security seems equal parts useless and overly focused on things that don't matter. We did some pentesting at one point and when it was demonstrated that security was demonstrably trivial to breach rather than getting to work fixing things it was hushed up internally and nobody important ever saw it.

Do your customers actually pay you to break security and then act on what is found? Or are most of them paying you to demonstrate that their security is perfect and then quietly burying results if they don't go that way?

So what? Those people are essentially ostracized. They don't matter, they never mattered. Also, I guarantee you they still care about WhatsApp, even if the only thing they do is seethe about how dominant it is. I hate Facebook and its data collection yet look at me talking about WhatsApp. I'm actually happy that the people of my country are using something so secure. At least it has end-to-end encryption just like Signal.

Try living in a country where nobody asks girls for their phone number anymore. They ask them for their WhatsApp. Phone numbers are just an old idiotic thing you need to put into your contacts database to get the person to show up in WhatsApp. The WhatsApp word itself has become part of the language as a synonym for message, just like the Google verb has become a synonym for search in the anglosphere. People even compressed it into "zap" to make it easier to say. "I gotta go but I'll send you a zap later." Want to order some food? You want the restaurant's WhatsApp. Those that don't have a WhatsApp contact are losing so much money it's not even funny because it's better than every single food app out there. First day in college? The very first thing you want to do is join your class's WhatsApp group, or make one if it doesn't exist. Actually, you'll want to make two: one with your professors and another without. If you don't do this, you'll be so hopelessly out of the loop you might as well quit. I had classmates who barely had money to buy a cheap phone being forced to do so because they couldn't keep up with classes otherwise. Their phones had literally a single app and that app was WhatsApp.

WhatsApp once refused to comply with a court order to decrypt user messages during a child abuse investigation. It was impossible to comply because they didn't have the end-to-end encryption keys to begin with. The judge got mad and blocked WhatsApp nation-wide at the ISP level as punishment. You would not believe the disruption and outrage this caused. I remember teaching at least 10 friends how to bypass the block with VPNs. Not only was it an ineffective and unpopular measure, it lasted only a couple days before a higher authority undid the judge's decision. In my country, judges are perceived as gods who can do literally anything they want, but WhatsApp is so important it put some much needed humility into them. The judge wasn't punishing WhatsApp, she was punishing every citizen of my country by denying them access to such a vital tool. WhatsApp is so important they replied to the fucking judge in english instead of portuguese. I still remember the judge's pissed off face when she talked about that during a media interview. The nerve, right?
