I would be a little surprised if they switched off of ARM. Even the Steam Deck with its custom AMD SoC is much closer to laptop specs and wattages than the switch e.g. 20w+ SoC, more than 2x battery capacity vs Switch. The switch has a lot more in common with phones than it does with other consoles or PC portables so IDK if we will see AMD SoCs with the right power profile for nintendo's needs.

Nintendo could use one of the new Samsung SoCs with RDNA2 graphics though. Those could be pretty good competition for Tegra X* chips.

What are examples of good advertising then?

I'm currently aware of one podcast (risky.biz) where I don't always the ads; they have, per episode, one interview with an advertiser, with the following features:

* it's a different interview each episode

* many of the interviews talk about actual interesting stuff. For example, a thread intelligence company talks about some recent trends in phishing and credential stuffing they observed, not primarily about their services. It's still good advertising for them.

* I believe the host that he vets the advertisers and doesn't just let everyone sell crap products through his podcast

Now that is a lot of effort both for the producer and for the advertiser, but that podcast has been running for several years, so it seems to work.

---

The first problem is: producing a custom sponsored interview for a single podcast episode isn't sustainable for any small podcast. You really need something bigger to make it worthwhile.

The second problem is, that is one example of Good Advertising. Maybe by thinking deeply about it, I'd come up with two more. Finding thousands of examples of Bad Advertising seems trivial.

What can be done to shift that balance? I honestly don't know, the incentives seem to point towards mass-produced, annoying ads.
That multidimensional physical reality is, in turn, layered on top of the binary reality that in adult, diploid mammals, the key chromosome pair is either XX or XY, and that every cell (except the somatic line) in that individual will have the same pair.

The issue is that you are saying that the sexual phenotype is primary, while I claim, on the basis of biology, that the sexual genotype is primary.

You appear to reject the existence of sexual genotype. On what basis?

It is going to end up as a clone (as per the banner text on the site) but when I started out I didn't expect the lot that owned Winamp to fuck it up so much & abandon it. Every build uses less of the pre-compiled exe/dlls that come from 5.666 & I've currently get beta builds that can now run completely without the Winamp core along with a native 64-bit build because why not.

WACUP began as a a plug-in pack but I've pivoted to it becoming it's own player but it takes time as I've been patching / replacing the 5.666 plug-ins with my own which allows me to have the best plug-in compatibility possible unlike most other clones that do a sub-set of the Winamp 2.x api vs I wanted something that would support up to 5.666.

Post-1989?
Futurama can still get pretty meta. The first five minutes of the last reboot were about how those responsible for their cancelation were ground into Torgo's Executive Powder.

I think a better example of a return to straightforward comedy would be the King of the Hill reboot.

Also kindof wild to think of telling 1997 me that there would be new episodes of Futurama and KotH 25 years from now.
If this causes companies to re-think their reliance on automated hiring practices, I'm OK with that.

HR is supposed to be "Human" Resources, not "We punched your ID number into a computer and it told us you're undesirable."

Or worse — companies that buy into systems that automatically screen applicants. If your company is so overwhelmed by incoming job applicants, then hire more HR people. Or maybe do what people have done for the last 500 years — "Sorry, but we're not hiring right now."

Automated resume screening systems are rarely correct, and while they may filter out a percentage of unqualified applicants, they also routinely filter out the best people for the job. That's why every job counselor tells you the best thing to do is to find a human being in the company to make contact with.
It's too bad they stopped creating the interactive version of this like they used to[1] (unless I missed it). It was really instructive to visualize some of the not so obvious truths in the data. For instance, white males are more likely to be shot by police than their percentage of the overall population would suggest (along with black males and hispanic males).

Whereas asian males, and females of all races (including black females) are less likely to be killed than their percentage of the population would suggest. This isn't the narrative portrayed in the media, and I wonder if this is what led to them changing how they present the data.. It suggests that the problem is actually gender-based, not race-based.

Interestingly enough, it also shows a significant correlation to violent crime rates by demographic groups (white, black and hispanic males committing violent crime at higher rates than asian males and females of all races, which would likely lead to more potentially dangerous interactions with police.

Maybe, but my experience working mostly at smaller companies is that nobody really cares. If you say you’re a level X they’ll say, “okay prove it. Demonstrate through your accomplishments and knowledge you’re a level X” not “Prove it. Show us your documentation, citizen.”

I also can’t imagine verifying or asking HR to verify someone’s level or salary. They’d start questioning if I understood the point of the interview.
Yeah used car prices are amazing right now. If I was closer to work I'd sell my car and ride a bike to work and get a little bit more for my car than I paid for it 5 years ago (it was a 1 year old used car at the time). As it stands I'll ride it out for at least another five years or until sanity returns. Friends are being called by dealerships interested in buying back their cars (not trade-ins, straight up cash offers). It has been interesting this past year.

"POOR DECISION MAKING: UNNECESSARY & EXPENSIVE OFFICE SPACE IN NYC"

This whole report is absolutely scathing, but this particularly stood out to me. I've actually been in a similar situation where a CEO decided he was going to rent extremely expensive office space, in one of the most over the top pricey areas of Los Angeles, simply because it was close to his residence.

This snowballed into other various stupid financial choices, and I was lucky enough to get out before the entire office got fired.

This serves as a very good argument for fully remote companies. Get a corporate we work account for the extremely rare case where you need a physical presence.

The brand is pretty damaged though. They had a short window where the Equinox crowd had nowhere to spend their exorbitant incomes. No shortage of cheaper alternatives exist. I suggest buying a used exercise bike and playing Eye of the Tiger on repeat for 30 minutes.

Infact if you don't have access to Eye of the Tiger you can just sing it to yourself.

Eye of the tiger it's the thrill of the fight, saving money on a used bikes.

> I did not mean to disparage it just because it was developed for a particular domain.

Fair enough, that's all I was saying. I'd agree with you that the increased use of Node everywhere to build applications, with tools like Electron, is an utterly stultifying trend.

It's fantastic for I/O-heavy 'server'-type code, and for using JS as an at least surprisingly performant interpreted language, but it's disappointing to see it replacing languages like Swift or C++ in computation-heavy systems programming - or domains which should be the preserve of systems programmers.

> However, if "An embedded system uses the internet to communicate" has become synonymous with "It runs linux and uses web services and nodejs" then that would be a perfect example of contorting the application to match the technology that more programmers are most productive with.

I absolutely agree. No quibble with you there! I'm a fan of using the best tool for the job. And, much as it's a meme, I absolutely adore Rust for lots of systems programming applications.

PS: If what you love about Rust is its safety even more than its speed, then I'd recommend looking into Ada, which could be called the precursor of Rust. It has none of Rust's modern trendiness, but it's a mindblowing accomplishment in TypeScript/Haskell-grade type expressivity (with Rust-grade safety) while still retaining I-believe-greater-than-Rust speed.
Your theory is that people who are willing to manipulate others choose to stop at standard advertising?

A long time ago I had a friend who did "contemporary marketing" for Budweiser. Half her hours were spent getting bar owners Bud Light neons. The other half were sitting in bars, drinking Bud with other beautiful people while wearing Budweiser clothing.

Who knows what horrors they've invented in the years since. But I will bet cash money that there are a lot of them.

The main difference between advertising and booze is that beer consumers wanted beer, but advertising consumers don't want ads. (In the rare case that they do, they can just go look at corporate YouTube channels.) So there's no particular reason to suspect society would be any worse off if we banned advertising.

Most software has short periods when it goes down. And then go up again.

I think the correct framing is that it should go up only with the logarithm of the code's age or size. If it's going any faster, you have a problem.
This will only happen if the EU makes a true effort to go after as many big US companies as possible. If corporations actually start to lose access to the EU market, the US will follow suit and change its laws.

Yes they are - sometimes the most obvious explanation is the simplest one: it leaked from a lab.

If radioactive animals were found running around outside a nuclear power plant in the USA, would anyone believe the owners of the nuclear power plant saying that that was probably a coincidence and the plant never had a leak? Probably not.

If radioactive animals were found running around outside a Chinese nuclear plant - what would their government say?

The properties of a member of a set is not indicative of the entire set. Having ideological sacred cows is convenient for people who wish to discredit a section of the population, one that is underrepresented. You just identify one violator, and you can use the emotional reaction it invokes to carry forward that designation to the whole "problematic" group.

Sure, hence you ask to see all documents you have to sign before you sign everything. And make sure your contact states that with signature everything is signed.
If Zaraz is operated by an independent non-US entity, then the answer is definitely no, and these protections would seem sound.

If Zaraz is operated by Cloudflare, a US entity subject to US law, then I am uncertain that this offers sufficient protection to earn a favorable GDPR ruling.

Could Cloudflare be subject to a FISA (or other) court order by US authorities, that orders the alteration of the Zaraz product to divulge PII in violation of GDPR?
Easy. There exist contingency relationships between axioms and theorems provable from those axioms.
> It’s not the American way but I’m quite ok with Germany doing this.

Why? Germany has literally criminalised thinking the wrong things and denies people to associate freely based on the things that they happen to think.

It doesn't stop those people thinking those things and it doesn't stop people from associating with each other.
With GDPR and personal data, if you can justify your use then it's legit. Working out which justifications are acceptable is left -- at least partly -- as an exercise for the reader ('s legal team).

But we may observe that some practices are easy to justify, while others are more challenging. Some attempts at justification have been rejected, which means that trying to rely on them in the future is a bad plan.

Also, intent matters. If you're trying to do the right thing, you're unlikely to get into real trouble. The most likely consequence is that you're told you should stop, and given a deadline. If you don't stop by the deadline then it's fairly obvious that you're now not trying to do the right thing.
What makes matters worse is that the current monetary system of centralized currency issuance creates an anti-competitive environment which increases the power of advertising. Supply-side economics is demand-constrained so the game is all about the monopolization of consumers... Which is good for advertising.

Under a demand side economy, nobody has priority access to cheap capital so the constraint is on the production side (this is more natural)... So acquisition of consumers is a secondary concern. It's more about product quality and production efficiency. It's not feasible to fool consumers with artificially deflated prices (subsidized by cheap capital from above) and spamming of ads.
On a per transaction basis? It's important to remember that crypto is a tiny fraction of transactions.

It's just that it's painfully obvious to think this way when your brain is built the right way. Then it's just a matter of having the right environment to unleash your work.

Most people just don't have the brain for it, we're social animals and following the smart ones is much more efficient than having everyone running in their own direction.

Basically we always have the choice of following analogies or building our own knowledge bodies. Building one's knowledge capital takes time and dedicated effort which most people do not have. Once you start building your own, you're only limited by your biology and your environment.

“Many don't even get evaluated and firing teachers is very difficult in the US”

I am a high school English teacher in the US. I have two to four performance reviews every school year (each entailing a pre & post meeting along with an in-class performance evaluation). I have tenure, but the only barrier to firing me between now and next September (barring fireable offenses) is a PIP which is ultimately based on subjective administrative reviews. If my boss doesn’t want me back next year, I won’t be.

Stories about ‘rubber rooms’ in NYC are hardly demonstrative of teaching conditions nationwide.

Ask HN: What big problems with Apache Kafka do you have?
Hey folks,

Me, with a bunch of friends, have some expertise in kafka ecosystem and wanna do something cool & open-source.

The thing is, we can't decide what to do. Like, let's say there are already some solutions for some problems,
a lot of web/standalone UI clients out there.
For example, I know managing connectors with k8s can be a problem and existing solutions (like confluent's) are not ideal,
but not sure if that's really a big problem for most of people.

Please share your thoughts. Do you have any problems related to kafka ecosystem really bugging you? What could be done better?
Maybe if companies didn't attempt to lowball candidates this wouldn't be an issue? My past compensation is none of a new company's business, all that matters is the number I'm willing to work for. Since companies refuse to give salary ranges often (see: number of jobs not available to people in CO) I see no reason to come to the table at a disadvantage.
I guess kickstarter is basically advertising and should be banned.

Paying for an ad on a result in a google search for legos is manufacturing demand for a product?

I think any serious discussion has to be about the ad medium.

I had email thanks to netzero way back in the day because it was ad driven, I think it's perfectly fine for an adult to consent to ads in exchange for services. I couldn't afford AOL, so without that service I have no idea how I would have gotten into email. I couldn't afford 10 cents a minute long distance calls and my physycial mail never got to my grandparents overseas.

Why is breaking into peoples' homes illegal (and prosecuted) even though anyone has the ability to lock their window?
It's not a normal market. Unusual chip and supply shortages have made several markets like the one for cars inelastic for traditionally elastic purchases.
