It manages to be more inefficient than most, and will even disorder and then reorder an already sorted input. Bubble sort (a very low bar to beat) doesn't even do that. If you've only got a small number of items, it doesn't matter unless you're sorting a small number of items a large number of times.
While I don't find myself in the author's company politically, I do think that the Mormon center right can be much less aggressive than folks expect from Fox News et al.
Not a word about why media antitrust is important... even though the article casually mentions that "Newspapers continue to be consolidated by hedge funds and private investment firms that believe they can wring more profits from the papers through synergies as the industry declines."

Not only that, people employed by today's media conglomerates are increasingly drawn from the 'wealthy liberal coastal elite' sector and are typically filtered through an unpaid internship process before getting hired, leading to non-representative 'journalists', which is probably doing as much damage (i.e pushing the populist perception of news media as a symbol of out-of-touch elitism) as the corporate consolidation is.

Another side effect of this trend is the death of investigative journalism, which generally upsets the state and corporate power centers who are increasingly joined at the hip. For example, the last Washington Post investigative series of note was "Top Secret America" from about a decade ago, and now that Jeff Bezos owns the paper and AWS is actively seeking CIA and NSA contracts, forget about anything else like that.

A lot of crypto products use interest rate style benefits because that’s what people recognize and understand

Behind the scenes many of them are making money from volume capture and tiny but lucrative transaction fees, no different than Robinhood or Citadel, the perpetual nature just isn’t guaranteed and longer dated payment promises are perilous.

Lets say an organization is really making 100% ROI but doesnt want shareholders, they offer a competitive 18% return in a bond and thats that. Many more people believe the same you do if you told them a higher and truer number. “35%? Obvious scam”.

There are many market inefficiencies that scale up to hundreds of millions and billions of dollars

People don't understand “senior convertible debt” they understand “18%”

Many yield bearing products in the crypto space offered floating interest rates that adjust to market realities, these fixed interest rates ones are the ones unable to adjust.

I'm undergraduate student studying Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. I have > 2 years of experience working with deep learning/data science/data engineer. Currently, I'm currently working on a data analytics internship at a hedge fund this summer. I'm interested for a software engineer/data science/data engineer/AI internship for Summer 2023. Contact me if there is a position which I might be a good fit for.
Seems dubious. I would expect doubling the amount of throughput would bring more shop revenue than doubling the waiting time of people in the airport. I can only buy so many slices of pizza.
The first thing that I thought when I read the question is: why did those 120 dates not work out?

I know there are plenty of terrible men out there, but there are also plenty of great ones. 120 should be plenty to find a good match, so why was the match not there?

My wife is not perfect, and neither am I. We have our flaws, because everybody does. We're not the perfect mate the other would have designed if we had to design our perfect mate. We compromise, but we also bring things to the table that the other never expected. Don't cling to some idea of an ideal partner, but open yourself up to who they really are, and be willing to put in the work to make it work. And I think the most important attribute in a partner is that they too are willing to put in that work.
His point is to use whatever simplifies workflow / reduces operational overhead. To some people, that indeed would be k8s. To you, that may be "managing a couple of webservers and a db". And that is great for you.

We aren't particularly bothered by the mesh infection. Complications happen.

We are bothered by the hospital not diagnosing the hernia despite it being painfully obvious there was a hernia, which led to complications, and then ignoring the signs of infection until it got to the point where it nearly killed her.

Francis Ford Coppola said something to the effect of how having a bunch of kids served as a huge financial and artistic motivator for him. Not sure I'd recommend in that my kid is 2 and I'm not sure if I've done even 1000 words of creative since then.

I did turn down a near-lateral promotion that would've require 60%+ travel. Everyone has to do right by their families and values but appreciating and maximizing my time for me this era in my life is worth a price above rubies (though even I have a selling point, lol).
I think the point is that it doesn't need to be. We are seeing that the marginal benefits of extreme price optimization is minimal. Taxis have been simply charging flat rates for time and mileage for decades. Certainly there was room for improvement and Uber already did that and continued deep optimization is probably not worth it. 15 is hyperbole of course as any billion dollar company will need more than that but probably not multi-thousands.
> ... extremely divergent views of how to understand the constitution...

IMO, there's good in this situation, because inferring a nebulous right to privacy that didn't do very much was always a little questionable thing for the supreme court to do. It was a "good enough" measure that prevented us from doing any better.

Yes, it's terrible that poor women in red states will have to pay the price.

But ultimately, we're going to have to figure out how to define a right to privacy and make it into real law. And we can maybe fix other things, like security/privacy in our papers and effects and not rely upon 19th century judicial compromises on policing power and searches, too.

> There's a political crisis going on with neo-nazi influence in and around the Republican party that's not being dealt with at all

Honestly, the Republican party is <<slowly>> making itself less relevant. Which is kind of bad-- a relevant and not-crazy political opposition is a useful thing to a society.
I was unemployed for 10 months in 1998, so my kids were both under 10. My now nearly 30 year old asked me yesterday to go to the zoo like we did back then. Washington DC area had (has?) lots of free things to do. They both remember fishing, hiking, biking, exploring public transportation and just spending time together.

I think the title is a little strange - nothing in the article actually talks about optimal pricing strategies.

> [Graph] - The most efficient merchant charges the optimal price for each customer - the highest each customer is willing to pay.

The graph doesn't show that - it actually shows how to maximise revenue while offering a single price point for all customers.

In reality, this isn't the optimum way to pick a price though - because you probably want to optimise for profit rather than revenue (and these price points aren't likely to be the same).

> [There are multiple items at different price points, and...] It struck me, though, that this was an excellent example of optimal pricing

I wouldn't call this pricing actually - I would call this ranging.

Pricing is the exact pounds and pence put against an item, while ranging is the idea of offering different products and services to meet different segments. Mr Monopoly Man might not want a $1 hamburger, but might settle for an ultra-mcdonalds-premium-delux, so ranging that higher-end product helps the company appeal to wider demographics.

But 'having different products and making them different prices' isn't usually considered a pricing strategy.

I think you're selling me on upgrading my 4th gen iPod. I didn't realize you can swap out the HDD for a SD card. It looks pretty easy too! Also all this talk about Rockbox makes me want to try it.
A few months after kiddo was born, partner and I started doing weekly “appreciation”/“retro” session. It’s like a low key date night at home. Fire pit, marshmallows, background music. We start with just appreciation for each other for things over the last week. Then. We move into what went well. And conclude with what could go better, and where we want to concentrate effort. This weekly ritual has been our best way to deal with all the changes.

after the first three sessions, it was clear sleep training was the biggest problem for us, and we had “data” to prove it. That led us to pediatrician appt which led us to Ferber method which worked miracles! for 3 months haha. I anticipate too many night feedings being the next retro focus.

We also enjoy a local not-for-profit news organization called Cityside which covers Oakland and Berkeley, which together is a city about the same size as Baltimore. "Local reporters" who are on the staff of the SF Chronicle and Bay Area News Group, the local legacy newspaper organizations, are always whining on Twitter about how locals don't support news any more, but the existence of these successful, award-winning nonprofit news outlets shows that people will support good reporting, but they won't support more of the same thing the big newspapers have been doing for decades.

From my observations I can’t show causality, but the three situations where I used the feedback button the most all got addressed.

- my city town inexplicably decided to make dashed white lines on the sides of bicycle lane sharing markers. The Tesla would see dashed white lines, which mean separate lanes going the same way and dance around trying to get into a lane but they were all too narrow. The traffic lane was double wide to account for church street parking, but not marked as such. So it the markings made a tiny center lane and two side lanes that were just a bit too small.

- on winding tree lined roads, when an on coming car first appeared around a bend it would assume the car might be going straight and would hit us. There would be a quick deceleration and dodge toward the shoulder until it realize the oncoming car was actually curving and would probably stay in its lane.

- when the pavement expands to include an unoccupied, unmarked parking lane for a short stretch the car would assume that the road suddenly got very wide lanes and it was too far to the center and jerk over.

At this point FSD does a passable job on my regular daily drives, except one intersection where something in its map is wrong, it wants to exit the right turn lane just before turning right. I don’t let it make turns in contested intersections yet, because it is a little timid and might confuse drivers. But that is improving. Just not there yet.

For exceptions, it does well finding and dealing with construction areas, garbage trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians.

I’d appreciate if they’d add “slightly dodge roadkill”. It will merrily run over the same dead squirrel four times a day with precision.

I think the best things news organizations can do is highlight more mundane things

Like how someone was immediately reimbursed by an insurance protocol following an exploit

Instead of a news article only about the exploit and losses
The fact the arbitration is even a short circuit for the courts is absolutely ludicrous.
There are a number of studies showing what is beneficial specifically about local news:

- "Academic studies suggest that a lack of local media coverage is associated with less informed voters, lower voter turnouts, and less engaged local politicians." [0]

- "We examine how local newspaper closures affect public finance outcomes for local governments. Following a newspaper closure, municipal borrowing costs increase by 5 to 11 basis points, costing the municipality an additional $650 thousand per issue." [1]

Without local news people don't vote as much, are less informed about the issues, and politicians have less oversight. Local news fills a very important role in society.

Funny, that at first glance it looked like that was going to go the other way. I've seen a similar accident with a two decades old Volvo being hit 'midships' by a recent model Citroen, in spite of their respective reputation for safety that did not at all came out the way I expected. The passenger compartment in modern cars is quite amazing with respect to the kind of crash it can be in and your expectation to be able to open all four doors.
Want to really save money at McDonald's? Don't mind what employees might think?

Be us a large-ish family ordering 5 hamburgers and 2 Chicken Crips (a chicken burger). Wife gets a full meal set because she is loved. Total cost of about 1500yen, or 12usd. For an extra 70yen you can supersize the fries.

But by bit I up the number of hamburgers. I think my record is 8. I am waiting for the day they refuse my order. An individual hamburger is quick to make, but order enough and you could exhaust the stock of cooked patties. If I remember right it's ten patties per tray. With two trays in rotation. Thus a single order of 20 hamburgers could cripple the production line for 5+ minutes.
In what cases would I have to worry about that?
On top of that VERY correct advice - agree with your sign other to take such loads separately - as one can take over if another feels it gets too much. And do communicate it! Say, hon, i cant take it any more, please take over. And tell her to do the same. And might want to have some earbuds or smth to calm down afterwards and be ready to repeat - as sometimes (and with some kids) it takes a while
That probably will not get this unhappy customer his "FSD" fee back.

How does one incentivize this? Because younger generations ain't gonna do it for charity reasons; they don't have surplus income to donate to charity.
I have no clue.

It was supposed to be a joke, which maybe people missed, about how Elon Musk was a physics major and how mean values on power law distributions are distorted greatly by the outliers.

So I have n clue what the median is, but I assume, like all income and wealth distributions it follows a power law distribution.

> your local paper may cater to a part of the community whose perspective you don't share, or they may be self-congratulatory snobs, or they may otherwise aggravate local polarization

It cannot possibly be worse than localized social media like Nextdoor.
>your local paper may cater to a part of the community whose perspective you don't share

Local papers are usually both barely profitable and locally funded. Local businesses, similarly, are usually scraping by. A local paper that alienates a significant fraction of the community doesn't usually survive. Local reporting is usually straightforward and factual, therefore.

That's the other reason local reporting is important, because it can't afford biases. It's where journalists learn to be impartial.

It depends on the scale you're operating at, not to be cliche.

A small service with simple scaling constraints and that's designed intentionally to scale horizontally or vertically can make use of a lot of our the box systems that a single developer or even team of software engineers could wrangle.

If the service needs better security guarantees, scaling triggered by advanced/atypical metrics, or cutting edge performance and tuning then you still need specialized people to realize those systems and maintain them. That's not to underscore how quickly a distributed system starts to get "chatty" and quickly falls into this space.

Really all DevOps fundamentally meant was spreading APIs to all kinds of things in infrastructure that previously did not have APIs. Someone, unfortunately, took the leap that it also meant SWEs could do this now - ignoring huge domains of knowledge about distributed systems scaling, security, and performance that rest within the domain of systems people. In effect, it just meant more systems people need to be coding and doing systems thinking.
