Nvidia has like 85% of the market share for discrete cards. Releasing a game that doesn't work with Nvidia cards in the PC game space would mean flushing your entire release and all your publishers money. Nobody on earth is withholding support for Nvidia as a bargaining chip in the PC gaming space.

The actual issue is vastly more trivial copyright makes it easy to forbid such and even if present license didn't forbid it then fighting in court would be as expensive as it is pointless because license v2 would certainly do the job. The only path forward is via willing cooperation.

I hate when journalists use nasty tricks to make their point stronger. This is not good journalism.

Look at the "Rich but Shrinking" graph in the article. I'll report the numbers here for simplicity:

Country / number of babies per woman

Israel: 2.9

Mexico: 2.1

France: 1.8

US: 1.6

Australia: 1.6

UK: 1.6

Germany: 1.5

Canada: 1.5

Spain: 1.4

Japan: 1.3

Korea: 0.8

(all numbers as of 2020 except Korea)

Now, there are a few things happening with this.

1) Numbers are wrong. Based on World Data [0], Spain is 1.2, not 1.4.

2) Notable countries are missing from the list: Hong Kong (0.9), Singapore (0.9), Italy (1.2).

3) "Korea is the world’s fastest-aging nation among economies with per capita GDP of at least $30,000," conflicts with the fact that you include Mexico in your list of countries (Mexico's GDP is below $30,000), just to make Korea's problem look worse.

This is a joke. Excess savings are economically pointless, they serve no purpose, excess savings mean people are saving more than they invest, leading to economic decline.

>Without excess savings there will be no tech industry, improvements in science, infrastructure investments or much of anything interesting.

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Governments borrow more and more money to artificially turn excess savings into regular savings by increasing the investment rate, any benefits you think come from excess savings actually come from turning excess savings into regular savings aka savings = investment.

If savings are above investment it means aggregate demand is below aggregate supply and we are failing millions of people.

That is just a naive implementation. For the first 10 results you grab ads, the database of those is significantly smaller, for the next 20 results you look at Wikipedia and stackexchange clone sites. Everything after that is indexed using math.random(). If you want to get fancy run the query through a fact creating AI and present the results inline, people are always happy to know that the color of the sky is purple or that the ideal amount of chess players is 5.

[0, 1, 2] would be how I would refer to my 3 apples. Each apple is identified by the number of apples that precede it.

I don't think it's inherently more natural to start from 1, just conventional. Disregarding history/convention, I think it would be more natural to use the lowest available natural number.

Back in Roman times, the lowest natural number that people were aware of was "1", so obviously they started counting from that number.

Our understanding of and use of mathematics has evolved since then, and accordingly there are fields such as computer science and combinatorics where there are clear advantages to starting from the smallest number (zero). In virtually all other cases, the reason "1" seems more natural is because that's the way it's been done historically.

It seems that when labelling those apples using a 1-based count, the logic is basically: each apple is identified by the number of apples that precede it, plus 1. The reason for the "plus 1" is that that was your starting number, but it could have easily been 2 or 3. If you instead start from 0, you can omit the "plus X" logic, just as I omitted the "+ 1" and "- 1" logic in my year/century formulae when moving from 1-based to 0-based counting.

Since the free app is fully featured, I see the $8 as the paid version, as opposed to just for sync. But I think they're doing themselves a disservice listing it like this. I use Syncthing to sync my obsidian note 'vault', and by having my Mac's Syncthing directory in iCloud, it also syncs notes to my iPhone. This gives you a free◊, cross-platform markdown notes solution. Oh and since Syncthing has a Synology NAS package, I also sync my notes to a NAS.

Historically, many societies treated women as property whose opinion simply did not matter and having kids was a numbers game that was part of your retirement plan. Have ten kids and maybe a few will survive long enough to take care of you when you are old and needy.

In many countries that is a situation that was common until fairly recently and in some countries this is still the status quo. E.g. my parents are from Dutch catholic families and they have countless relatives. My mother had a couple of dozen aunts and uncles. Their generation was a lot less productive. I only have one sibling and neither of us has had any children. We're both middle aged and I doubt it will happen. I know many people my age that have made similar choices.

Korea is an example of a conservative society where women are empowered to say no both technically (birth control) and legally (they don't end up being forcibly married by their families anymore). That's pretty much the case around the world with some notable exceptions of very conservative and/or poor countries; typically with a distinct lack of democracy and other freedoms.

Economical circumstances make having kids a really expensive choice in Korea. So, people are no longer being forced to marry and have kids, they can practice birth control, and can't afford to have kids. So, they don't unless they really want to and are able to secure the funding. You see the same patterns in other places in the world where housing is expensive and people are literate. They have kids later or not at all. Even countries that are notoriously very egalitarian with extensive child support programs (e.g. Sweden) have rather low birth rates these days.
Singapore is small and an educational pressure cooker like Korea, but makes up for its low birthrate with huge amounts of both permanent skilled immigration and temporary unskilled foreign labor. This is an unusual combo, but it's unlikely to face a demographic crunch anytime soon.
This isn't a problem, this is the solution.

That was why I mentioned the plan (which I can no longer locate) to target 95% carbon-free electricity and focus on electrification instead of the final 5%. That fossil fuel usage can be shifted from cars or heating or industrial uses and used to provide the 5% of electricity instead at a total cost/carbon/pollution saving.

edit: ah, found it (I think, possibly something else quoted this):

https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/solar-futures-study

> In the Decarb+E scenario, an expanded grid electrifies additional end uses (such as motor vehicles and space and water heating in buildings) that had derived energy directly from fossil fuels. In 2035, the grid is 95% decarbonized, but the additional fossil fuel displacement yields total emissions reductions equivalent to a grid that is 105% decarbonized—more cost-effectively than could be achieved by completely eliminating grid emissions in this time frame. These results show the importance of considering flexible, cross-sector approaches to optimizing the speed and cost-effectiveness of overall emissions reductions.

So I was wrong about the specific date, but the same general concept applies regardless of the target date and this was written before the 100% goal was moved to 2035.

Somewhere in 1999 I started using unique email addresses for every single service or registration. For example, if I would register with Reddit today, then I would use 20220825_reddit_registration@example.com.

This makes it really easy to filter out spam (and I also know who sold my address). It's also trivial to block unwanted 'subscriptions'.

I use Thunderbird and create an identity for every one of these mails that require a reply (most don't) and TB automatically uses the unique address when replying.
This is not a problem. It is vitally important that people are allowed to believe batshit things. Yes, most of them will be nonsense, but countless times throughout history, things that were formerly considered batshit became obvious truths, and things that were considered obvious truths turned out to be batshit.

If they're not hurting anyone else, people can believe whatever they want. It's by having people try out large amounts of disparate beliefs that we can best figure out what works and what doesn't. Homogeneity is death.

Still, creating a method that calls several other methods one after another is programming 101, so I refuse to entertain the though that creating a "containers.run" method similar to the one from the Python API is not possible in Go.

Honestly it's not that much different than sampling in music. A few years ago Kayne West tried something similar when instead of paying Aphex Twin for the sample usage of "Avril 14th", he asked John Legend to play basically a carbon copy of the track on a piano[1]. Ultimately he had to pay for the track anyway.

Bitcoin mining is profitable only if you can get cheap energy. That means outside of city centres, off peak, often energy that is otherwise unsaleable. No, Bitcoin mining isn't making summer heatwave weekday peak electricity more expensive.

Imagine governments putting a tax on fossil fuels. Bam! coal and petrol cheap energy is non-viable anymore, you'll see Bitcoin miners building solar and wind plants to power their operation. And along with them the rest of the world.

It's easier for politicians and keyboard warriors to blame climate change on Bitcoin than actually moving to a greener world by making fossil fuels unprofitable.

The extra consumption angle doesn't make any sense for an ultra technologic world, that only 1/4th of the world populace has access. Bitcoin or not, energy usage will be ramping up, especially if we want to create a fairer world. The only way to reduce energy usage is to stop being a technological civilisation, or give access to electricity to fewer and fewer people.

> Higher efficiency, higher wages especially in social security jobs, and of course a universal social security system

efficiency has its limits. And we are reaching it, I would argue we reached it already. Without full automation there's not much room for "efficiency". There's no growing population on the west, it is declining sharply if you exclude immigration. There's not enough people to work with elderly. Germany desperately tries to import people for elderly care for years.
Also, from what I read and researched the LARGEST single polluter on entire planet is the US military complex. Even if entire world switched to electric cars, eat less meat, it wouldn't make a dent in a greenhouse gas emissions. Not to mention that 50% of all produced food in the west is a waste. There's place for 20b people on this world, no shortages of land, resources. We just need to change our habits and drop consumerism (as we know it). If everyone bought only what they need, and consumed 99% of food they bought, that would result in less pollution than 3b people buying 200-300% more that they need.
And who pays for that?

> There was a dude who told his boss he didn't want a birthday party due to anxiety and his boss ignored him and just went ahead and did it anyway. He got a 450$ million payout after the employee sued.

More specifically, he told his boss he had an anxiety disorder and that a party could cause panic attacks, his boss did it anyway, chewed him out the next day and said he was "being a little girl", suspended him for a couple days and then fired him a couple days after.

He was awarded damages for the emotional distress and lost wages.

Sounds fair considering. "Don't have a party for me on my birthday" is a pretty reasonable accommodation for someone's mental health issues.
Only marginally related, but I am now thinking of what Embracer Group wrote when they bought Lord of the Rings rights last week.

“I am truly excited to have The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, one of the world’s most epic fantasy franchises join the Embracer family, opening up more transmedia opportunities including synergies across our global group. I am thrilled to see what lies in the future for this IP with Freemode and Asmodee as a start within the group. Going forward, we also look forward to collaborating with both existing and new external licensees of our increasingly stronger IP portfolio.”

When I think “Tolkien”, I think “transmedia opportunities including synergies across a global group”.

One sale is always one sale, even if it has multiple transactions associated with it[1]. It must never look like multiple sales.

None of these are multiple sales, because recording each transaction as a single sale wreaks havoc on the inventory control.

It takes the estimate for the amount of energy that it takes to run the internet infrastructure and clients (141GW * 8765h in a year = 1235865 GWh), divides it by the amount of data transferred yearly (241 billion GB) and gets to 5.12kWh/GB.

You might argue that if people download more data, more equipment needs to run to enable it, but really all this energy consumption is happening regardless of my PC being idle or saturating its fiber pipes with torrents. If your website weights 14kb, all this same equipment needs to be on for my PC to load it.
Maybe a stupid question, but have you tried applying to compiler engineer jobs? There is a list currently at the bottom of this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32590459

I think you may find that lots of the job is ‘regular software engineering’ work if it involves maintaining a production compiler rather than being all about specific compiler techniques there will be lots of time on eg making the compiler faster, improving debugging information, coming up with better error messages, etc. I guess something more on the research end is going to be totally different.
