At least with coffee grinders you can measure the distribution of particle sizes to see that cheaper grinders are producing something quantitatively different as output, and use blind tests to see if you care. $1650 might still be a bit much, but the way you grind coffee does have a surprising impact on how it tastes.

I’m not a coffee “enthusiast” but we have a grinder at home, and I’m definitely not getting the same coffee as I did in the office when I used their grinders.
I bought one of their power strips out of necessity and had to return it the same day due to a faulty power switch. I ended up going across the road to a farm equipment store that had regular power strips.

To me this is the dog in the hotel room in Nostalgia. Mixing dream and reality in such an incredibly simple way is beyond genius.
I agree that's probably the least-worst answer, but I strongly suspect most people in this situation would pick the one that includes the words "credit card."
I ran WinME in production on a generic White Box PC for 4 years during the era of its introduction, I found it reliable and performant, I've never quite gotten the reputation it has. I guess my experience with it was a unicorn.
If you want to get drunk and that's your only value you place on a drink why even choose wine to compare? You can buy bottom shelf vodka and get more ethanol for your buck than Two Buck Chuck. Hell, vodka is wastefully distilled multiple times, why not just chase bootleg moonshine producers for even less? It all gets you drunk the same so they must be equivalent products.
I’m also a solo LLC business owner. Open up a SEP (assuming you plan on having w2 employees) else open a individual 401k (can’t have employees). Allows you to contribute significantly more to a personal retirement account. Quick back of the napkin math with a SEP you should be able to stash away around $31,000 into retirement annually assuming you pay yourself $168,000.

Second, buy yourself work equipment (write offs). Buy that top of the line new MacBoom Pro and ultrawide monitor. These are business expenses and write offs, but still assets.

Finally, open up a health savings account and stash as much as the limit allows (it’s not a lot), but better than nothing. Also tax free in.
I've seen 2 people on my Facebook feed have issues. One is pretty big in the skydiving community. He had a Moderna booster and it all went downhill. He's doing better now. He initially thought the vaccine was to blame but then it seemed that there were issues for a while but it kind of put him over the edge. Again all anecdotal.

Highly OT, but if a technical person (not at a managerial level) involved in tackling spam at Google were to leave the team, are they allowed to work on the similar problem space at a different company?
I have experimented using LSH (Locality Sensitive Hashing) for identifying similar documents, among 50k documents in total.

My LSH implementation is here:

Example of the 100 most similar documents:

There can be false positives, so after LSH then do a more in-depth comparison.
I'm almost certain that pg gave "compete with Google by competing in some niche" advice 10+ years ago.

In any case, I'm not sure that competing in search is a very attractive notion. AdWords is the only meaningfully profitable search and business. Even if you steal 10% of Google's market, that absolutely doesn't translate into 10% of the revenue.

That said, recipes. Someone make a search engine where the top results don't start with 500 words on the history & etymology of butter, because that's what Google want.
Interested in learning more about this!
How do you fight brigading, the organization of groups elsewhere to collectively vote on something? Eg white supremacist groups get together and vote down everything by people of color, and vote up their pages about how great they are?
There is also another way of creating 3D graphics that does not involve the use of faces and vertices, so developers with that background would be at a loss (or win depending on your viewpoint.)
What is a good translation?
The "cut spending" option seems reasonable to me, but I guess it would also count me as unable to afford it?
I disagree that Usenet and Forums would not have been easily predicted. Town Squares, Public Forums and Message Boards have been around for thousands years and I don't see why anyone would have thought they would not have existed in the electronic space. Societies have always had 1 to 1 and 1 to Many communication, so it would be natural that some form of those would exist in electronic communication.
> badly-written cookie banner laws

The law doesn't call for cookie banners. It calls for consent. I'm willing to auto-consent, because I use a cookie blocker.

I think this plague of popups is temporary, and is going to abate; eventually the browser-makers will incorporate auto-consent, as they have incorporated cookie controls.

And I believe that a lot of those consent popups are an attempt to annoy europeans into lobbying for repeal of the law. Ain't gonna happen - we're quite pleased with it.

Indeed I didn't, for good reasons[1] my comment was
aiming at the claim that this commonplace was a “hot take”.

[1] it's not even an argument to beging with, it's a cheap attempt at decredibilizing the opponent with an inflamatory comparison. You wouldn't lose time to discuss the claim that “conservatives are nazis” or anything like that would you? If you're genuinely interested in an intelligent discussion about that slogan, just search on your favorite search engine: many people have actually discussed it in depth and showed how stupid it is (which is something I deeply admire, since Brandolini's law is very real).
The quote-Tweeted thread mentioned recipes as one of the things that has been SEObliterated. It's a great example of the problem, and also a great example of the problems any solution will encounter.

Recipes have become a bellwether Internet problem. In the past, your great-grandmother had a card file with a bunch of 3x5 index cards with the ingredients and instructions on how to make everything, and they pretty much all fit on one side. There was a great deal of domain knowledge required (e.g. "whip to stiff peaks"), but these things reveled in their terseness.

Internet recipes all begin with 9 paragraphs of the author's first time encoutering the dish in a Moroccan bazaar in 1997, and the life story of the chef. There are two embedded 10-minute videos of the lifecycle of the vanilla bean. And then you get to the ingredient list. Then two more 10-minute videos, then instructions.

The drive to make recipes full-contact Internet content has changed what it means to be a recipe. This is similar to how cooking shows evolved from Julia Childs working on a sound stage to a carnival barker presentation with vivid personalities dominating the scene.

I'm not sure there is any technological solution to a problem that has fundamentally changed what it means to be a recipe, short of establishing a new informational silo in the form of a new Web site devoted to recipes only. You could encourage an RSS-like format for recipes, but that requires buy-in from places that profit from the new evolution. This new status quo may be good or bad--you can make the argument either way--but it is what it is. A cultural change is required more than tweaking algorithms.

(Unless tweaking algorithms can be foundational to cultural change, in which case we really, really, really need to take a hard look at the corporate behemoths and their algorithms, and sooner better than later.)
>sustainable

This is a bit of a weasel word overloaded by usage without much understanding of what is meant.

Agriculture is not one thing.

A whole lot of modern practices are indeed quite sustainable over very long periods, some others... less surely so, some, like burning down rain forests to farm for a few years and then moving on, obviously not.

A whole lot of people get a little bit of information and just keep repeating "modern practices are unsustainable, we need to do X!" but this is vague and involves almost no understanding. What you need is actual scientists studying particular practices in particular areas commenting on the long term viability of certain behaviors and how they might be changed.

But like many things the popular narrative is a good vs. evil where one vague thing is seen as bad and another good without really getting into what they're talking about. It's a complex field, I'm no expert but I know more than enough to see when somebody doesn't know anything, and unfortunately most of the conversations are by people who don't know anything.

There are a lot of things which could be better and are indeed getting better.

Automation needs to get better for non-grain farming so that the ratio of grains vs. other foods is altered in production and consumption. Automation could get better so you could have large fields growing multiple species at the same time without intensive human labor. Automation could get better so that weeds could be mechanically picked instead of whole fields getting sprayed with herbicides, so individual weeds could be sprayed with herbicides instead of crop plants. Understanding of soil fungi interactions with minerals and plants and how to grow and maintain this fungi and how to select for species of fungi which result in higher yields.

There's a lot, it involves knowing and understanding specifics with an interest towards long term and not attaching broad labels to vague terms.
Yep. British political journalist Stephen Bush made a point of using that style of writing to update us on events in the US in his newsletter.

If we were to use the sort of clichés people actually use about the US and the UK in regular writing, it'd be a fun article to read (and include quite a few stereotypes that are a long way wide of the mark) but probably a touch less patronising than some of the Africa clichés and stereotypes.
> This isn't about art here, but marketing.

You might be right. But this is the part that I understand the least, and I'd like to know how these things happen for artists.
Comparing present day North Korea with 80s Romania is pretty far - the communist regime in Romania never had anything close to the same fanatical dedication from its people. Few in Romania ever believed the official propaganda, even if they were forced to spew it. In fact this is common with most dictatorial propaganda: no one believes it, it's more of a show of force - everyone repeating what they know to be a lie, least they get reported for wrong think.

By all accounts, this is not the case in N Korea - the propaganda there has been much more drilled into people, and I've even seen interviews with defectors saying that they still couldn't bring themselves to say bad things about Kim, or touching S Korean leaflets, for fear of divine retribution.
The PHY does have a clock built in. They're clocking their writes themselves so that the clock is synchronized with the microcontroller state. For example, here's the code to send a bit to the PHY:

https://github.com/maximeborges/pico-rmii-ethernet/blob/main...

(It sets the clock pin to 0, sleeps for a microsecond, puts the data bit on the data pin and sets the clock to 1, then sleeps for a microsecond.)

You can be both a status symbol and an objectively superior product; they are not mutually exclusive.

A laptop can be bought by someone who says, "Ooh, Apple, new, shiny, cool," and the next person to buy the same laptop might say, "This is the objectively better device for my use case."
Ha, I’m an American born Chinese and I didn’t get the Americanized reference until I clicked on your link.

In my experience the phrase more or less means functionally sufficient, which is not exactly the same as say ‘not as good.’

Sometimes you want the best thing you can buy, other times you just want one that does the job. Of course, that is a different distinction than being pragmatic vs. cutting corners.

I guess ‘chabuduo’ sometimes sits in the gray area between the two.

Google already detects immediate returns and knock off that link for you. What's problematic to me is I tend to reactively mash back and forward and link just goes from it.
Amazon’s search results and scammy third party sellers are a similar trust problem. When possible I try to purchase directly from the product manufacturer’s website. Similarly, I don’t search Google for product reviews, I go directly to trustworthy review websites.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, as you're correct - however to point out there seems to be a trend where reviewers are only given pre-release versions if they practically always give favourable reviews to the products they list, especially if they're provided the product for free; there doesn't have to be an express relationship or contract between a reviewer and a company either, it's the reverse of how Bill Gates apparently has given $200 million+ to different news channels/media organizations - and so they're less likely going to as freely share negative news about him or perhaps his organizations, so then ; this makes me think, similarly to how stocks being sold by CEOs (etc) must be pre-planned to avoid shenanigans like market manipulation, that anyone giving large sums of money to any media/journalism organization must divide the amount up over 20-40+ years, so that organization at least has a runway and not dependant on larger "dopamine hits" at shorter intervals.
I mean you are probably right but I'd love the teardown anyway. Maybe you are wrong? Maybe they have custom silicon or at least "name brand" chips? Or maybe it is a shitshow that features the crappiest power supply and salvaged chips with the markings scraped off tossed onto the worst PCB on earth. Maybe it is a hub and not a switch?

Who knows? I'd like to know!
Makes me sad that you're not the only one.

big part of it. and the scrutiny is only going to get more intense
Although the article seems very poor, for motives already stated by other posters, I think there is a legitimate debate that is not being taken. Industrial farming is pretty bad in ecological terms. Organic farming might be better, but the incentives are just not there. As with many of climate-related issues today vs capitalism, the problem seems to be costs externalization. This case seems trickier than atmospheric emissions because in many case, people degrading the soil actually owns the land, which would affect long-term yields. However, money earned today might compound better than long term yield degradation, which is also harder to grasp to us humans?
> People on hacker news are extremely naive at career management. This is all the worst advice I have ever seen in my life.

Agreed. It's obvious that the boss doesn't want to work and is just dragging OP along. The OP already said they One of the ways of minimizing harm in this scenario is by keeping your mouth shut and doing your job well enough so you don't get fired. Don't be emotionally invested in you work. Just put in your hours and get out. If you want to learn something, learn it in your free time. Going above your boss for an issue like this is very risky. Basically a 'he said she said' and if your boss has more social capital than you then your workplace becomes even worse. Does anybody actually think that what the boss is doing is a fireable offense? Because it's not. HR will most likely give them training or do nothing.

>I have learned that peers are mostly competition.

Don't agree on this. Everything else is pretty solid though. If you are trying to climb the social/corporate ladder then I can understand how you might view them as such but as an individual contributor its really a non issue.

This is actually co-written/edited by Joe Blitzstein, who teaches Harvard's Stat110. What originally sold me on taking a look is this snippet from the foreword:

"This book is primarily a teaching tool, and thus we are not very concerned with proofs unless they promote understanding...There are no Statistics or linear algebra prerequisites."
An unfortunate accident, and basically the worst case scenario for that reactor design. Not to mention there was an earthquake and a tsunami.

And the fact that the current death toll stands at 1 (likely to increase though) and Fukushima is perfectly habitable now (and has been for a while now). Almost 20000 people died due to the earthquake and tsunami. Only 1 due to the nuclear disaster.

Fukushima disaster should be a footnote in history. It’s not a valid representation of safety of nuclear power.

As a European, I’m far more concerned about the dependence on Russian natural gas (Germany completely abandoning nuclear; Nordstream 2) than I am about a reactor blowing up.
It also has a measurably faster CPU.
I'm so confused by expensive gear like this, or gold-plated connectors etc — what's the actual TAM for customers like this that it's worth putting a product like this out there?

I can't imagine there are more than.... 50 audiophiles out there that would pay for something like this. Or am I wildly off?
We live in a hype-based culture, very often devoid of any rational thinking.
US ag practices are in general very sustainable. Water management is arguably a major issue, but the US receives plenty of rainfall. It’s a distribution problem where mining water is currently cheaper than piping it across the country.

Soil is currently a major focus in modern farming. PH, drainage, aeration, etc etc are how farmers achieve extreme yields, but it’s all part of a large cost benefit analysis spending 10$ to make 9$ is simply wasted effort.

What an amazing answer. Thanks for sharing it with me.

You are right. What I am trying to do here is to understand how the art world works. Yes, I can "do art" by myself, without showing anything to anyone. But I'd also like to understand what happens if you want to put your art "out there".
Don't know how rarely it happens. After all, weapons dealers frequently arm both sides of a conflict. They don't really need to care who wins - they're just making twice the amount of money.

I think someone who buys this thing already listens their music inside a Faraday cage anechoic chamber with power from a perfect sine generator a few kilometers away to bar any vibration from affecting the listening experience.

Or maybe I'm creative enough to consider designing gear for audiophiles.
FizzBuzz: Enterprise Edition
Thank you for the examples. I'm really curious to get to the bottom of this. My inspiration has been Erik Meijer, specifically his article "Confessions of a Used Programming Language Salesman. Getting the Masses Hooked on Haskell" [1]. If I understand you correctly, you are implementing lazy evaluation in your when macro, something you call short-circuiting.

By dropping laziness in strict functional languages such as Scheme, SML, OCaml, Scala, and F#, the purity and semantic beauty of true functional programming is lost. When programming in Haskell, laziness is one of those things that you rely on all the time without noticing it; it is something you only realize once you miss it.

As for async/await, Erik led the effort to put it in C# and then Dart. I'm assuming he wanted to bring Haskell Continuation Monads [2] to the popular languages.

I'm building a hobby website, so I got into Blazor because I like C# and was interested in doing it client side. I gave up on it, not because of C# or bad implementation (it's actually great) but because Microsoft has a noisy and bureaucratic way of configuring code that drives me nuts. I went back to Dart because it is amazingly productive on the client side, but now this video [3] shared in this thread makes me think I should give ClojureScript a try.
