Funny you have this opinion.

As far as I can tell, the only valid reason to go Threadripper instead of EPYC is for single core workloads like video games.

If you just need a ton of IO and CPU, EPYC will likely be better for you.
I think the theory you're describing is pretty interesting, I had never thought about depression this way.
That’s true, but I still don’t believe there exists a technical solution to this problem; I think this should be solved via:

(1) App Store policy, including requiring apps to disclose that they can/do capture embedded web browsing activity as part of their privacy disclosures.

(2) Privacy regulation. This is a very intentional dark-pattern used to violate users’ expectation of privacy, and should be addressed.

(3) User education — users should never trust an app-presented web view.
You’re not missing any spectral efficiency trick. Starlink maxes out at one customer per square mile or about one million total customers. It’s for areas beyond cellular coverage.

Cell networks could improve infill coverage consistency with professional installs of roof mounted CPE. That would help people who have a weak signal inside their home but good signal outside.
This is the "pieces of flair" debate. If their manager asks for fifteen tickets a month, and they do exactly fifteen, the manager sits them down and asks why they don't do twenty, like their colleague over there.

They ask the manager, "If you want twenty tickets, just ask me for twenty tickets. Why do you set fifteen as the standard, and then try to use cheap psychological tricks to get me to do twenty tickets?"

I have managed teams going back to the nineties. If I want fifteen tickets, I ask for fifteen tickets. If someone just does the minimum, they just get paid the minimum, but I have set my expectations such that their work is a net benefit to the company, so they keep their job.

If things change and I need twenty tickets, I will ask for twenty tickets. It's not complicated. The "bare minimum" is still enough to keep a job. If it isn't, it's on me to establish a different minimum such that the "minimum" is exactly that: The minimum needed to remain employed.

"Dead weight" is someone whose work is not a net benefit to the company. If I as a manager set a minimum, and someone does the minimum, and they are not a net benefit, WTF am I doing as a a manager setting fifteen tickets as the minimum?

Employees meeting expectations but not being a net benefit? That's a management problem. And if it's across the org, that's a SYSTEMIC management problem.

So if this person is meeting the minimum, either they are NOT dead weight, or there is a management problem. Either way, they are not the problem.
"The garment industry has a vested interest in ensuring that the rest of us think of clothing as disposable, or at least mutable. This is especially true of fast-fashion companies, but it's also true for luxury brands, even if they market their products with the promise that they'll last a lifetime."

Responsible journalism. +1

Currently trying out some "guaranteed for life" hiking socks made in Vermont. No doubt some HN readers will guess the brand. Feeling like maybe I will come to regret it later as they are so densely woven that they neither stretch nor breathe as much as non-guaranteed socks and they take a longer time to dry. But imagine a sock company (hosiery) that sells socks as a "lifetime subscription" that can be fully paid-up at time of purchase and recycles old socks that people send them. This is far better than "fast fashion". Honestly I have no idea if this company recycles old socks, if that is even possible, or if it truly honours the "lifetime guarantee", but their popularity has gotten me thinking.
Many people in large online meetings are checked out. Sure, they are "attending." Then they turn their cameras off and do something else.

NATO should have expanded to Ukraine long ago then we would not see this bullshit now.

Don't spread FUD about the European enonomy, it will be fine.

The actual mistake was that we should have backed away from fossil energy technology long ago. Our governments and people knew it for like 30 years. Only disinformation about "loosing our wealth" and lobbying made fossil energy survive. But now thanks to Putin there will be a change. Now we are in fear of "loosing our wealth" because we went on and on with old fossil energy. - Now that this is clear for everybody, there is nothing that will stop the full potential of fossil free energy. Plus maybe we will finally get rid of eating meat on the long run.
No true Scotsman would claim to be liberal!
How do I even know we should switch or not though? A good reason could be "we are moving the office to the UK, and we were only able to find react developers there". That's a pretty good reason to switch, if not an easy one.

I do think this is a strategy to try, although I'm pretty sure it's really not about the words, but about body language, timing, whatever... But it is really puzzling to me that you shouldn't ask questions because people will think you are asserting something, while making random assertions in order to probe for answers is the accepted way. I know it's probably how it works, but it will never really make sense to me, and I wish these games were just a little bit easier to play if people did see things from the other side more often, instead of throwing words like "asshole" around (as you can see in comments around here).
> "the antitrust restriction was no longer necessary as the old model could never be recreated in contemporary settings"

There are two directions satellite to ground and ground to satellite, and they operate slightly differently.

From the ground you can think of an array of satellites like a monitor showing a document. As you read every word is being displayed at the same time in the same color, but because the light is coming from different locations you can focus on a little area and ignore the rest of the screen.

A traditional satellite dish uses a similar idea to just look at a single satellite at a time and ignore the rest of the sky, this is why you need to aim them. What starkink does differently is using a phased array to let it change focus without physically moving the dish, which is really really fast and lets them track satellites in LEO.

Just like cellphones it can hand off from satellite to satellite plenty fast to keep up with the speeds involved. As soon as you can handle 1 transistion just repeat the same thing millions of times, computers are great at repetitive tasks.

As to throughput, it’s supposed to be fast enough to watch 4K video which isn’t gigabit speeds but is vastly better than millions of people are stuck with.
W-2 “freelance” in addition to W-2 “non-freelance” at the same time? In other words, you violated your employment agreement and got fired. The sad part is you still don’t quite understand the basics of W-2 and why you got fired in the first place.

You say this:

> I firmly believe that easy access porn is one of the worst things happening to the young men and women today. I (23) know many men around my age who suffer from chronic porn addictions to the point that it severely impacts their ability for form real relationships and median age of first exposure is getting lower and lower.

Porn(at least in it's current, easily accessible, form) didn't exist in the past. Since you claim that porn use severely impacts the ability to form real relationships it follows naturally that in the past it must have been easier. Since you don't mention any factors that impacted the ability to form real relationships in the past it follows quite directly that your claim is also that it was easier to form real relationships in the past.

In addition if it wasn't easier in the past how can you even know porn use is to blame? Essentially a variable is introduced which you claim has an extreme impact, yet you also don't claim there is change between pre- and post introduction. That makes no sense. Either it has an extreme impact which means it should be trivial to see a pre- and post introduction difference, unless there are other extreme factors that weigh in the other direction. Or there is no (extreme) impact.
I think this is the right take. The big layoffs haven’t even started yet, so the rebound in hiring is several months away.
Only continues to get worse too. I get ads for AI copywriting services on my social media all the time. Out of curiosity I joined one of the groups for one specific software - just filled with people attempting to do affiliate marketing spam.

It honestly just makes me sad.

> lack of challenge has actually caused me to spiral into a deep depression

Why does this have to be at work? Google might not offer you challenges but you can go rock climbing at Yosemite every other week if you wanted to (or whatever other challenging things you like)? Especially if you only need minimal effort to hang around.
My point about litigation was sort of about that. You're reminding me of Slashdot in the 90s[1]. You're making good points and I don't disagree with them, but also a lot of this has already been covered, up to and including in the courts, and certainly within icann (et al). There are a lot of rules/agreements in place around how these things play out - it's worth investigating to see for yourself. One positive thing to keep in mind also is that the EFF and other groups keep a pretty close eye on those sorts of shenanigans.

[1] Just to be clear i do not mean this as an insult, just a reference point, these discussions were common on Slashdot back then as all the things you mention either happened or were hypothesized by various "governing bodies" or "agitators" like eff.

I suspect that that's disingenious, because calling it "God" implies that you think it is actually in some way more than what the universal wave function is in physics. Because otherwise why would you have a problem with an atheist physisist who believes the wave function describes the universe, and there is not more to it than that mathematical desciption?

I am not sure why the manager should be shocked if an engineer asks for these kinds of clarification. Those are exactly the info I need to point out that this might very well be a problem with service XYZ, and that we might need to scale up the database instead of rewriting the frontend in react.

My react frontend is made up, but my actual example is the CTO (no background in software) suggesting we move our embedded product from linux to android because "our updater is broken and i read that android has a great updater," while the issue was faulty flash chips where the brownout protection bit could not be set.

(Moving from linux to android for an embedded product means you basically have to rewrite absolutely everything since the userland is different, for a stack that is under the control of a single company, and is rarely used outside of mobile devices and automotive. And it still won't fix broken flash chips).

This is an order of magnitude more egregious than the react example I transformed it into, and also why I left the company. If I can't present my expertise and get listened to for such an important decision, there really is nowhere for me to go.
After 3 months at Google I've come to realize the high hiring bar is there because you need to be particularly smart just to get basic shit done in their environment. I spent 3 hours the other day trying to authenticate to one of Google's own internal APIs from within the Google network using their bespoke IDE. In the end the code necessary was pretty simple. But I'd tried many incorrect solutions before that. The API library itself is "deprecated" but the API is still very much in production and not changing any time soon.
I did not come away with anything from the story that would make me have a negative opinion on author's technical capability.

>What children need isn't more protection it's an escape hatch from all the forces trying to manipulate them during their most vulnerable years.

Isn't addicting content a force that's trying to manipulate them? Porn, certain kinds of games, online gambling, etc can all get their hooks in someone. Prevention is better than having to fight the addiction in the first place, is it not?
This is an incorrect understanding of how web views are implemented.

For SFSafariViewController, all the API allows you to do is essentially to present a full screen view that loads a particular URL. You can also register for callbacks for when a user dismisses the view or clicks the action button. There are no APIs that allow you to inject JS or read website data out of the view. The actual browsing logic powering the view is implemented out of process and you cannot modify the network requests that the view makes. If all your app wants to do is to display an in-app browser view, this is definitely the recommended path for security reasons.

For WKWebView, again most of the browsing and networking logic is handled out of process. However, because the API is designed to allow you to do pretty much anything you'd want to do with a web view up to and including implementing an entire browser, you get more power over what the view does. So you can do things like inject JS into the view.

However, it would be possible for the platform vendor to restrict use of the web view such that only certain more powerful APIs can be used by browser-style apps, while other less sensitive APIs can be used by all apps. This is because pretty much all of the APIs involve an IPC from the embedding process (e.g. an app under third party control) to another process that actually powers the view under the control of the browser engine (usually the content/renderer process). The content process can check that the embedding process has the proper permissions for each operation.

There is already precedence for limiting the power of web views. See https://webkit.org/blog/10882/app-bound-domains/ for instance, which allows a responsible app owner to allow their embedded web view to only load requests from particular domains.
Tech people are talking about it because we understand the problems. The rest of the population will catch up as they become aware of it. I'm not sure how to accelerate that though. One thing I know we need to do is to be better about protecting children's data. We shouldn't be requiring them to sign up for google accounts and handing out locked down Chromebooks to students. We should be teaching them from an early age about the consequences of handing over their data.
It's not like the mainstream entertainment content of recent years is particularly compelling.
Stable Diffusion produces substantially higher quality images in most context, but is much more expensive to produce. The genius of VQGAN-CLIP is that it showed that you could take two pre-existing models and combine them to get text-to-image synthesis to work at all. By contrast, models like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion require extremely expensive pretraining.

There's a discussion of this in the VQGAN-CLIP paper, see in particular 6.1 "Efficiency as a Value" https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.08583

Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of the VQGAN-CLIP paper and was tangentially involved with Stable Diffusion.

SFSafariViewController is available as a safer alternative. Presumably at some point apple will deprecate and remove WKWebView for precisely the reasons mentioned in this article.

There's a ton of very clever stuff going on with modern RF modulations. For example, each client terminal will have a unique pseudo-randomization key, and transmissions are modulated by that key. That evenly distributes the transmission across the spectrum. To someone without the key, it appears to be random noise. Multiple transmissions can occur simultaneously on the same spectrum with different keys, without necessarily interfering with each other.

Also, that 22km beam isn't going to be uniform, but rather higher gain at the center, and below some power threshold at the peripheral.
> Also there's a lot of life experience out there of people who will tell you that they have a porn addiction that is causing them problems with relationships. One of my friends just got divorced from his wife of 20 years because he has developed a porn addiction and won't give it up or get any treatment (his wife is not ok with it).

I have the opposite life experience.

His wife not being okay with it is her right, but speaking personally I would never want to be in a relationship so fragile that one or both partners looking at legal pixels on a screen could compromise it.

I have been in relationships in a conservative universe where adult content was consumed in secret or restricted... and it is toxic. Not everyone is in the mood all the time and other outlets can be healthy when paired with honesty and moderation.

Way better for all to learn to be honest about their needs and curiosities without judgement. That is how stronger relationships are built. Happily married to my best friend for a decade.

> I'm using an Amex offer that gives 100% cashback on Disney+ subscriptions. Sounds like another fun way to game these numbers.

That "gaming" might be considered by some to be basic co-marketing and business development (which Netflix does too, of course). You've hit on a crucial point, though — Disney has an order of magnitude more relationships, subsidiaries, products, etc. to leverage than Netflix does. By 2025, Netflix will have been acquired by someone who can compete with that.
> It's the same situation as the real world

No it isn't. In the real world you must travel through space to get from point A to B. The real world requires you to move from location to location in a relatively linear fashion, making certain locations of higher value. Certain locations have better resources, infrastructure, culture, etc etc. All of this is unlimited in VR. If it's limited, that limitation is completely artificial, and anyone can spin up their own new world with better everything.
