2010s saw an unprecedented rally of tech/growth stocks, fueled by cheap capital.

Correlation does not mean causation, as it's commonly said. Interest rates were high in the 80s and 90s yet tech stocks boomed. Tech stocks did so well because they make so much money. Facebook earned $40 billion in profits for 2021, 3x Walmart. Google makes even more. Also, market dominance and moat factors working to big tech's favor.

Right, I had the article's bunny test program on my mind, which looks like it has only one pass.

In OpenGL, the driver would have to scan the following commands to see if it can discard the depth data. If it doesn't see the depth buffer get cleared, it has to be conservative and save the data. I assume mobile GPU drivers in general do make the effort to do this optimization, as the bandwidth savings are significant.

In Vulkan, the application explicitly specifies which attachment (i.e. stencil, depth, color buffer) must be persisted at the end of a render pass, and which need not. So that maps nicely to the "final render flush program".

The quote is about Metal, though, which I'm not familiar with, but a sibling comment points out it's similar to Vulkan in this aspect.

So that leaves me wondering: did Rosenzweig happen to only try Metal apps that always use MTLStoreAction.store in passes that overflow the TVB, or is the Metal driver skipping a useful optimization, or neither? E.g. because the hardware has another control for this?
> Obviously if someone's not happy with the content their company produces, they're free to look for a better fit elsewhere. But why spell it out like that?

Because people tend to forget that and intend to pressure their employer into changing its values, rather than simply changing their employer.

If Netflix views itself as a content library, rather than say, a content publisher then they could rightly say that they will keep certain content that's harmful to the community simply because that falls into the ethos of a library. Libraries (at least good ones in my opinion) keep Mein Kamphf on the shelves, even if no one in the library is a nazi and the only people checking them out are actual nazis (as opposed to college students writing papers). That the book is bad, doesn't mean that it ought to be burned.

So if Netflix is a library, then they're okay. However, this gets a bit muddy since not only collects content, but also actually publishes and promotes it themselves. Funding Chappelle, and publicizing it with huge billboards can be interpreted as support and not simply "we publish content that exists" since this harmful content might not exist if not for Netflix.

I think the quote above is necessary since Netflix has to clarify where it actually stands on this issue. They see it as a topic of 'personal' value, and not objective harm.

Your distinction of revenue vs cost-saving doesn't translate neatly, in my opinion, into reality.

In reality, you have a lot of different functions that translate into revenue: product tries to determine what you ought to build that will increase revenue; marketing will bring potential revenue to your doors; sales turns potential revenue into real revenue; application/service engineers do the monkey-wrenching to turn the additional-revenue-producing feature into reality. Is any one person in any of these functions fully responsible for the revenue increase? Clearly no. So how can you, in one of those roles, claim full credit for the additional revenue? It sounds like hubris to me. Companies are a team effort.

Cost reduction is a culture, though. It's when startups, when contemplating a new feature, ask the people involved, "how much will this cost us?" instead of ignoring that question entirely. It's when someone makes sure that billing alerts are set up correctly so that people are aware of the costs of what they're running. It's when the CTO asks questions like "can you run that on spot instances?" because he knows it will bring huge average savings. Revenue increases aren't a "culture" in the same way; desiring additional revenue is the default state of things and can rest as an unspoken assumption.
Humidity's the thing I have trouble finding good info about. Weather maps of humidity don't seem to do a good job of matching with what's actually perceived. But 85F and humid feels a hell of a lot worse than 95F and dry, so as far as Summer (and to some extent, Spring and Fall) characteristics go, I'd consider humidity by far the most important factor in whether Summer's basically pleasant, or completely miserable.

> participation in said debate was documented in writing as probable cause for having the woman involuntarily committed by the police.

No. If this is the case from just before Christmas, the media reporting was extremely biased as the health services cannot comment due to privacy. However, the woman posted her letter on Twitter (now deleted but still available at the internet archive) and it was, in my opinion, justified. (1) The woman had a history of drug use, (2) her mother had reported concerns regarding the woman's drug use and asked the health services to consider involuntary treatment the same year as the woman became pregnant, (3) the woman did not meet her GP after becoming pregnant, (4) the woman did not respond when the health services approached her to evaluate her drug use voluntarily, (5) the woman moved to another municipality (which may have been interpreted as an attempt to "escape" from them), (6) the woman did not approach the health services in her new municipality to follow up her pregnancy.

In light of the two previous reports of concern and the use of drugs, [the woman]'s information about pregnancy, [her] lack of contact with her GP during pregnancy, [the authorities] found cause for concern. [...] The decision was made on the basis that she has orally informed [the authorities] and confirmed to [the authorities] that she is pregnant and the severity of which drugs (including cannabis, MDMA, LSD) that she has stated that she uses in the newspaper and Social Media. Use of these drugs is not compatible with pregnancy. There is no information on how far she has come in her pregnancy or that she has followed up regular pregnancy controls. [...] The municipality considers that it is overwhelmingly probable that the mother's drug intake will be harmful to the fetus

The national guidelines highlight that the fetus should have priority - "the care of the fetus takes precedence over the care of the woman" - and that

Pregnant women with substance abuse problems are in a special position and the consequences for the fetus can be serious if the municipality spends too much time considering the use of coercion. The municipality must therefore not spend unnecessarily long time on assessment and testing of voluntary measures. The due diligence requirement requires quick clarifications to prevent the fetus from being exposed to an unnecessary risk of injury.

and that coercision should be considered if "the pregnant woman deliveres a positive urine sample, fails to take a urine sample or fails to make an appointment"

However, it is mentioned several times in that letter that she had been positive to drug use in her public writing and admitted to using several illegal drugs in social media. That was probably not okay, but the decision was not - by far - based on that fact alone.

I'm not sure how quietly leaving a workplace will come at a cost to a career. People need to leave employment for various personal reasons (e.g. death in the family, burnout, pregnancy, health issues), and at least in our sector I've never seen anyone judged poorly for that.

2. If you don't pay off every month, you are paying pretty hefty interest on any of your balance that carries over from month to month.

To me, it's pretty clear: A lot of people like working from home, and are wary that they will be forced back into the office, along with the long commutes and sometimes-frustrating social interactions that go along with it. They see arguments like yours as a real threat to their quality of life.

Also, you make a lot of assertions in your post without substantiating them. This generally contributes to outcry when the assertions don't line up with people's personal experience.
I agree. Netflix has alot of LGBT-friendly programming. People who believe LGBT is counter to morality would find working at Netflix similarly abhorrent and will also be encouraged to leave.
I think there are many more categories. I am on Twitter with a pseudonym, and while it is not bot-looking, it is obviously not a real name. At first glance I may or may not be a bot run by somebody else. I can be Googled easily and you will find some PII there, such as my employer, but it would take some checking that you can't scale.

I am definitely between 2 and 3 in the above classification, and so are many of my contacts I would say.

Maybe I've just had bad luck, but two of the bikes I've had have come apart. The derailleur gets misaligned for whatever reason. One of them I had to take to a shop because despite extensive experiment I could not get it to properly align, and I don't know that they did either. The other was perhaps just old - an '80's era steel frame road bike from a Sears catalogue I donated to a repair shop, and it eventually got exploded for parts. I suspect the third would've succumbed to the same fate. It may just be me mishandling them, but if they can't handle this style they're not fit to ride. :cool:

Also I hate dropping gears in the middle of an intersection.
I actually am a member of a sort of 3 man firm that on paper exists at 3 separate companies. We keep our intra-firm transactions operating on basically market principles. "Can you do this part of job x consisting of this rigorously defined scope for y dollars?" Prices set themselves pretty fairly that way. If a job of a particular type starts to become more tedious, complex or time-consuming, the price adjusts naturally and continuously at an equilibrium.

We're able to handle larger projects, offer greater breadth of services and service more clients than we would on our own, but we use one outward facing name so that clients feel they are interacting with one entity. We each have sub-speciallizations and clients are better served by the greater breadth of expertise. We almost always beat everyone on price too.

Clients are often, but not always, shared.

We each buy our own equipment, but we share it when needed and we share expertise. We each pitch in a 1/3 share for an office space to meet with clients.

In practice it works wonderfully.

But boy, 'the man' does not like that arrangement. They can't possibly fathom that there's an equal power dynamic, or that we really are separate entities, each with our own clients and business infrastructure. We just work together in only the ways each person finds mutually beneficial.
That's well above the 95th percentile for Boston, and a bit above 90th for south bay.
