The alternative to demand shaping is the electricity just gets turned off. Which is also what happened in Texas.

There's a name for it: "rolling blackouts". Texas had them, they're also popular in California.

Another name for it is "shortages". Shortages happen when prices are fixed. Having fixed prices does not at all mean there's enough for everyone. Someone's gonna do without.
Interview anxiety does not mean lack of confidence or ability to get things done. It is an issue more related to social settings for many people who are otherwise enormously productive and smart. The point is that this interview style definitely misses lots of qualified individuals while it can also accept talkative people with outsized egos, which is also a problem down the road.
Whose public health exactly? The people who have willingly chosen not to take the vaccine?

Or are you meaning we must "protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated"?
The flag button serves as a downvote for stories. Seems like a good system since people are less likely to hit flag just because they disagree.
I can empathize. The only interviews where I think "huh, this went reasonably well" are basically online tests. Almost never when I interview in front of a person / live screen and do white boarding.
The bad news is my chances of getting into FAANG are very slim.
The good news there are tons of companies who aren't FAANG.
Piling onto the anecdotes, I always do a rough maths of likes vs. dislikes before watching any video from unknown creators. For pure entertainment, a 100-to-1 ratio or better means it might be watchable. For science, maths or computing maybe 20-to-1. If a woman, black person or LGBTQ* person is presenting I assume that the haters have already got to the downvote button, so I give them about a 10x slack.
Oh no, they're giving comp sci students jobs!
Lol. Ignoring the general absurdity here, none of this has to do with the basis of reading/writing, which in English is a set of phonetic letters. I've described why these must be memorized.
First, you mean Autopilot vs SuperCruise. FSD is only available to a few thousand people in a closed beta and it can do things (drive around a city, or parking lot) that SC cannot attempt (it is geofenced to highways)

Second, legacy OEMs have been releasing their "first EV" for 5 years now. The Bolt beat the Model 3 to market and was hailed (as all these were) as Tesla Killer. Sounds funny today, but people took it seriously in 2017. After that it was supposed to be the eTron, the new Leaf, the EQC, Taycan, ID3 etc etc. Ford is physically incapable of making more than 50k MachE-s this year, meanwhile Tesla makes 220K 3+Y per quarter.
Wheelchair ramps don't create an ongoing cost. It's a one time cost.

This has been my experience with internal tool builders too. The barrier to entry is quite high to try most of them and it's really hard to have a whole team test them out.

This adoption issue was part of the inspiration for Wax [0] which lets you build internal tools on top of Google Sheets. If your team is already using Sheets, it's much easier to add the missing pieces there vs. pushing people to an entirely separate platform.

Digital cinema uses a kind of Motion-JPEG2000.
The encoding of the coefficients is so convoluted that cinema projector systems require custom hardware to do decoding in 2K at full speed.
The only software algorithm that could decode it at relative speed was patented by someone involved with the format: otherwise, software decoding is very slow compared to other formats.

JPEG2000 is also sometimes used to encode images embedded in PDFs.
I have same way of estimating tutorials and similar content. There are quite many people posting videos without real understanding what they are teaching..
No comment on the content of the lynalden.com post (haven't read the entire thing yet), but for the love of pete, blog writers, please make sure you put a date on your posts. Especially when you're discussing something that involves current events.
The bank needing the currency asks the central bank for the extra currency and it’s simply a number in a “database” somewhere. It can be done rather quickly.

Q: What if all people are assholes, but some are at least honest about it?
Yep. In fact, I've been planning to write a PCX codec for my retrogaming/gfx project. The RLE scheme is simple but still reasonably effective.
Finally someone posted something logical and well reasoned, thank you!

Content creator protections and guardrails go both ways and can protect both the producers of propaganda but also the small independent voices of dissent too. People don't realize that voices of dissent can be shouted down or terrorized by trolls and harassment. Imagine a scenario where a small content creator speaks out against powerful governments. These governments have their online propaganda farms troll that users content with dislikes and hateful comments designed to scare them into deleting it. The dislike ratio is then used to downvote the content so it doesn't appear in people's recommended watch lists a form of censorship in itself.

I'd rather have a platform both protects the powerful and the vulnerable equally well than a platform that protects neither or only one of them.
Because the media supports the current government and doesn't want to make it look bad, the actual inflation is probably 20% or even more.
Artaygo – Artwork by Artificial Intelligence
At Artaygo we produce AI generated artwork, with each piece only sold once. In addition, we use only the best quality sustainable inks, wood and canvas - sure beats NFTs!

Humans are still very involved in the process, but it really accelerates brainstorming, idea generation, and lets us produce a variety of completely original works with a particular theme to them. We can also created original framed canvas artwork commissions - so you can get exactly what you want!

If you're looking to buy original AI artwork or paintings, consider stopping by our website at https://www.artaygo.com

The Union’s war against the Confederacy was fueled by the religious zeal of an evangelical Christian movement. I’m not sure that should be the go-to template for how we structure a diverse country of 330 million people.

A binary solution is far less efficient than one where the consumer decides if he's willing to pay the spot price or not. Especially if that is controlled from afar.

Shaping demand with prices is how free markets work. Shaping demand via some remote bureaucrat's decision to randomly cut people off is socialism.
Tesla is currently valued at about $1,000,000 per car to be delivered in 2021.
The article expressly stated they were encouraging people to simply write it down and distinguished that from the act of publishing it

He's correct that a lot of people are scared to do that initial brain dump and that brain dump is a necessary first step in the creative process.

First, just write. Later, edit.

But first, just write. You have to start somewhere and first drafts are notorious for being terrible.
So, they raised the prices, massively expanded production, and still have insane backlog and you think it's a bad thing?
That's not a pareto efficient distribution. The efficient option would be for the person with bread to sell bread to the person without bread in exchange for future labor.

Pareto efficiency is defined to be an economic state where resources cannot be reallocated to make one individual better off without making at least one individual worse off. If a redistribution can make things better, it is not an efficient state.
I am way late to this thread, but I want to address a big point of confusion -- just because you have equipment capable of very fine resolution, doesn't mean you actually have to use it to produce features that small. You can keep on making 103nm gates even with equipment that can resolve 27nm features. The biggest problem with designs that have larger features is if they also specify much thicker film stacks. You can put a pretty thick layer of just about anything on a 4 inch wafer before it turns into a taco. Your ability to do that with a 12 inch wafer is pretty limited.

Also, just because you have a fab set up for a given process node, it doesn't mean that all of your photolithography equipment has the same capabilities. Some layers have more relaxed dimensions and can use less expensive optics, masks, and resists. A fab will have a mix of equipment suited to its process needs.
Alright then, seems like you’ve made your initial point and have no further interest in discussion, so have a good day.
Name 1 example of a currency crisis where the debtor nation had debt denominated in their own currency.

I'll save you the time. There are no examples.

Every currency crisis has debt denominated in a foreign currency.
- Germany in the 1930 (WW1 reparations were gold marks)
- Argetina (foreign borrow and currency peg to USD).
- Thailand.
- Turkey (now, borrowed in Euro).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_reparations
"Germany agreed to pay reparations of 132 billion gold marks"

https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/asian-financial...
"Heavy foreign borrowing, "

https://economics.rabobank.com/publications/2013/august/the-...
"Argentina’s hard currency peg to the US Dollar, pro-cyclical fiscal policies and extensive foreign borrowing"

If you're going claim a coming currency crisis, test that assumption against the historical record at your earliest convenience.
It is likely I may know enough to judge a proposed solution is wrong or inadequate etc but not enough to write a better one. Vast majority of users who can down-vote would come under this category.

Encouraging them to write their own solution or even a critique/comment is not necessarily better.

You can also down vote questions not only answers, a question could be poor but it does not mean I can come up with a better one.

See also Revolt of the Public, which explores the consequences of the internet breaking monopoly control over the flow of information. As you point out, it's the alternative channel that gave rise to unauthorized voices. What we're seeing play out is a fight between the dissenting public and the ruling elites. Removing dislikes is just the latest in a series of moves to reassert control over information.

Maybe it also depends on the field. In computational neuroscience, which is a much smaller field than molecular biology or genetics, it is quite common to cite foundational papers in cutting edge papers. One such paper I just pulled up has ~25k citations for example, 10k more than the Watson & Crick paper...

I suspect integrating with Google is just a v2 feature.
yeah you are onto something. massive supply chains have a ton of carbon footprint. which some people that doesn't matter but for someone like myself, i am a bigger fan of less carbon emissions. i wonder if there is a way we can build an etching machine and print chips somehow, the process seems a little clearer after watching this simplified video. i think it can be done, everything complex is just a bunch of simple steps, solve each step and get closer to the goal. might be fun to create a github type community where people push their ideas to a source control platform where others can chime in and give their input. so like open source chip manufacturing, kinda like how 3d printers started out with makerbot and other open source printer projects.

i think it can be done and it would be fun. we have to filter out people who have a vested interest in chip manufacturers because they may try to over complicate the process to protect their purse. so like a vouch system, where we know the people coming in have the right heart and won't purposely screw up moral
If Chinese billionaires have to start selling a lot of overseas real estate, equities, cryptocurrencies, etc. to pay off debts because the CCP put them in a small room with a terminal and said "pay off this debt or bad things happen to you", then it can absolutely affect the rest of the world.

Now, given how many things in the US are at terribly inflated prices, especially housing that people need to live in, maybe in the long run it's a good thing. But between here and there it could be quite turbulent.
Exactly. Public opinion polls show that the COVID vaccine is widely accepted. Yet every COVID-related video on the front page has an 80% or more dislike ratio. Antivaxxers have hijacked the dislike tool to spread their propaganda, and the correct response is to take their toys away.
Flexible Monocopter Drone Can Be Completely Rolled Up
I can attest to the fact that programming in Go taught me a lot of good engineering. I certainly find myself better trained at handling errors, for example.

However, I always feel exhausted when implementing real-world systems with Go given the lack of $things (that everyone feels is a virtue). Over time I realized that a lot of people just aren't as lazy (or scared of breaking things) as I am - they find it easier to copy code dozens of times and then fixing them all in one go using their ninja refactoring skills. Just a different kind of tradeoff, at the end.

So given how laborious it is to make anything more than simple programs (because of the amount of copy-paste-driven-development required), I generally avoid Go unless I'm writing a webservice.

For me Go's virtues are static typing and wide variety of community packages to do things. The whole "oh not having features is a feature" thing is just an opinion for the sake of having an opinion. otoh, I damn excited to have generics support soon finally :)
Absolutely. It's a matter of public health.
I don't want to be too contrarian, but I'm not aware of any library which uses struct tags to encode anything that anyone might call a DSL. At most, they're used for key-value pairs (e.g., `foo:bar`), which is pretty easy to get one's head around. I don't use build directives and ideally we wouldn't need them, but most (all?) mainstream compiled languages have them. Maybe the complaint is that they don't get their own dedicated syntax, in which case I don't see the issue beyond "in $MY_PREFERED_LANG, build directives have their own syntax, and that's how I like it!".

In all cases, these issues seem positively trivial compared to "you can't parse JSON or send an HTTP request until you learn some DSL or cargo-cult someone else's build file".

Yes. If it's anxiety you can do things known to reduce anxiety. E.g. taking a beta blocker such as propranolol.
This means that they can also get away with charging very low prices for their products. PinePhone is the first Linux smartphone that I wanted to buy, simply because it's so cheap and I won't weep if it fails.
Wait seriously - you've been diagnosed with trauma from interviews? Jeez what the hell happened in there - if it's alright I'm asking?
Let's look at who is claiming Tesla will keep growing at this crazy rate:

1. Elon Musk

2. TSLA apes (people who use the term "Daddy Musk" on /r/wallstreebets)

3. CNBC, MSNBC, and other financial media outlets

Do we see more public, established investment firms parroting this? Not AFAIK.

I was investing during the Dot-Com boom. Same thing was happening. Some will try to argue that the dot-com boom was based on vaporware and Tesla makes cars. Well, to that I say, every company was overhyped during that boom, from IBM to Lucent to Intel to Pets.com. Just because TSLA sales are strong doesn't mean the stock isn't overhyped even looking ahead 5-10 years.

> I find it irresponsible on Youtube's part, to maintain a commenting platform with such a tremendous budget, and yet without meaningful discussion moderation tools that could be found on much lower-end platforms. These tools are a minimum bar for basically not promoting abusive behavior.

It is not in the interests of almost any site or platform operator to limit drama, trolling, etc. They want the page views, the time spent in-app/on site, the emotional energy and investment.

Look at celebrities. The job of their publicists is to negotiate with other publicists to manufacture some inconsequential tiff that puts the names of their clients in the media.
Well, they do have a roadmap since several years.

However, the road map does not contain the end of the alpha phase nor the release.

Guess what that means for the direction the development is taking? Exactly.
The same happened in reverse with the Euro and the Swiss Franc.
And yet, a 1.56% yield for ten years (below its 18 month high) while inflation just hit 5.4%[0] doesn’t feel like a big selloff.

I share the objectivist standpoint that, as long as wealth is accrued through fair transactions, having occurred without coercion (including monopoly influence) and because parties provided equitable value to each other, it (and its distribution to heirs over time) is ethically acceptable.

We still listen to our users and dropped the extension requirement.

Folks assume a lot of bad intent from us even though Chrome clearly states that the extension only has write access to one field and no other permissions.

We'll improve and learn from this. We're a super small team and are just launching our v1 beta.

I don't understand why you are going into driver wages. I'm completely fine with their drivers making good money, but if they lose money on every ride, it doesn't sound like a good business.

What makes it a ponzi scheme is that the initial investors and the people that run it knew they couldn't possibly make money and yet they were able to get tons of investors to pour capital into a business that couldn't make money. New investors aka public markets paid out the old investors aka venture capitalists.
What's going on with "anxiety" lately? This went from something you heard about here and there 20-30 years ago, to something that everyone and their brother is feeling all the time.

What changed?
I've found a nice example. Compare the lawn, the part above the arc (especially on the right) and the uppermost window on the two 0.17 MB images. There are parts that look like the JPEG2000 encoder inserted big blotches where details should be. JPEG2000 seems to be better at large, gentle gradients and strong discontinuities between solid colored regions.

I suspect that your notion of what qualifies as propaganda differs significantly from most people.

Some subgroups -- motivated groups who seem to have endless free time and a lot of passion to click little arrows and leave comments -- brigade and basically remove any functional utility of likes, dislikes and often even ratings. Hateful groups tend to particularly dominate, and weird agendas dominate.

The ultimate solution is, sadly, even more of a filter bubble: If I could click a button and have every like/dislike by pernicious players (in my opinion) completely removed from any measure shown to me, I would respect online ratings better. And maybe, eventually, given that the majority of people are rational and have better things to do, the bores might get bored of trying to manipulate every measure.
As a regular consumer, I am not sure what advantage electric cars provide that I should be champing at the bit to get one. If I had to get a new car today I’d get a gasoline engine. I think the automakers see this and aren’t worried about “keeping pace”; while I guess electric is probably the future for political and resource exhaustion reasons, it’s not the immediate future.
Depending on the size of your business, it's easier just to have a few (or even one if you're really small) spare machines for when one breaks or is having issues. Just turn it on, restore from the latest backup and give it to the user. Then send the old one off for repair if needed.
> Just software, running, forever.

Until your users realize that if there was a security vulnerability which was fixed, a system upgrade is not enough. They will have to either hope that you haven't moved on, or build things themselves.
But then, thats not a problem with Go specifically, thats a general issue with "static link all things".
It also serves Google’s long term interest in being able to feed you content according to their own objectives with less transparency, similar to the FB newsfeed.
Thanks for the answer Paul. I noticed the domain that I purchased was not renewned since 2018. So, on checking with whois.com the creation date shows it as 2021 while the creation date is early 2010. What went wrong? Also, the backlinks are showing same. Just the creation date has changed.
Sure it plays a role, but mostly only in mature businesses. But that's clearly not a factor in many other investments.

If you truly believe that an immature business like Rivian will explosively grow, then you'd be an idiot to wait for that growth to happen before investing. You'd just be leaving money on the table.

Of course, we don't know for sure what'll happen with Rivian, but clearly some people with money have some strong beliefs.
How does the dislike button indicate propaganda?

It seems most people are engaging with YouTube in the same bubbles as any other social media platform.

The "propaganda" videos I see (when searching for them) on YouTube don't have large dislike ratios, they are very much liked by the people who consume that content. An example is PragerU videos.
I can't remember that last time I saw a public transport bus that wasn't wheelchair accessible. It may not be completely obvious, but the floor at the front of the bus flips out onto the sidewalk and the air suspension lowers the bus to make it level. The front seats fold up to reveal a wheelchair area, complete with belts and attachment points to keep a wheelchair safely in place.
I'm not interested in debating antivax propaganda.
