> Good luck selling a car with a 50 mile range. You won't sell many.

Where did you get that 50 mile range from?

> Again this is false, that is not how pricing of goods works. You have to price your widget to sell on the market, not just to hit some hypothetical price you think it is worth. The subsidies don't let them raise prices because they are competing with other cars, not just with their own hypothetical price.

When the market is balanced you might be right, but when there if higher demand than supply, which is the case at the moment, then there is no need for the suppliers to lower the prices. They can keep the subsidies in their pocket without passing it on as they cannot sell/produce enough cars anyway.
On what are you basing this assertion? This just sounds like your personal head canon about the past. I see no justification nor data to back this up.
This is one thing I'm keen on testing. I bought a PB Swiss driver to compare, and the ratchet on it is a huge improvement over every other ratcheting driver I've used.

I never really liked ratcheting drivers but I might make an exception for the PB Swiss (jury's out on the LTT driver). It feels like a real screwdriver when you lock the ratchet.
Hidden, rather, (in an advertising URL) and between all the spam I'm not interested in and which I tend to not read because of low signal to noise ratio.

They could've opted to not include all that spam for a video where instead of someone else's they sell their own product, but no.

The URL was also not marked as containing a summary, btw, and it wasn't on top. Why not? Because they wanted you to read their silly advertisement first.

Gravity: Am I a joke to you?
frankly, there’s only a tiny handful of these mythical saas “1000 users each paying 1 mullion dollars” companies.
the vast, vast majority of saas startups are serving millions of “users” - i put that in quotes because these aren’t real users or customers. they are real people checking out your product - but they aren’t users or customers.

if you set up a gas station near the off ramp of some major interstate, say I-65 North, you will see cars pulling in to fill up on gas. maybe buying a coffee. now, these aren’t your customers in the traditional sense of a Target or Walmart customer. Because you will never see them again. They were driving from town A to town B via the interstate- they started running out of gas and needed to refuel, so they are in your gas station now. Once they gas up, off they go. They aren’t going to come back to you and establish a customer relationship or something. We’ve all been to tons of gas stations on the interstate and we’ll probably never go back to the same one twice - unless we are plying the same route everyday like a truck driver. So the task is to find and convert these truck drivers, who are the true repeat customers.

I was working on an android app which had like millions of unique cookies. When they hired me they said we have million of users. No you don’t. If you put out an android app in some popular domain, say news, entertainment, tax accounting etc- people will download and “use” your app. they are checking it out. they aren’t users, in the sense they aren’t using it everyday or want to have a relationship with you, pay subscription etc. conversion stats are minuscule, like 0.01%. So maybe 1 out of 10000 users is the truck driver. The vast majority will never ever use your app again. To do data science with these millions of rows of user interactions and find some nuggets just because you know your way around pandas or sklearn is a fool’s pursuit. To ask foolish questions of your data, like why are all these people churning, is silly - they aren’t your users, they haven’t converted, they are just checking it out. In that sense, its a waste of time and resources to do so much data crunching. Look at actual conversions, which are probably a few thousand people, not millions. Reach out to those thousands and maybe a few tens will give feedback and then continue to iterate on the product based on that.

PG&E is criticized in these cases by pretty much everybody, liberal and conservative. And rightfully so, especially since they also have the distinction of starting so many forest fires.
How well insulated are California houses built before, say, 1990?

I live up north now where insulation is a given, but when I lived in Louisiana, the houses were made from sticks. High ceilings, but no insulation anywhere.
"Would you also say that movie directors are not creating just managing?"

No, but I wouldn't give them all the credit for the acting, set design etc. Which is what the guy in this article is claiming - when his picture is patently 99.9% the skill of the creators of midjourney, plus the millions of EXISTING artworks that were fed into it, to teach it what art is.
To be fair it’s expensive to use with monthly tickets also. I saw an interesting discussion today on /r/de with people having to ride 1 to 3 stops and having to pay 90 to 120 euros per month.

You have to be in a very privileged position to receive affordable tickets. I am lucky to work for a huge employer that offers a JobTicket which costs me 69 euros and they also subsidize half of that. Who doesn’t work at a company that has JobTickets can buy the same for 220 euros per month

All of the arms in the scene are melted stubs. The subject in the middle has what looks like an insect's leg jutting out of her waist.

It clearly doesn't. The judges probably thought that there was something cool about the visual weirdness of the piece—which indeed there is. However, it's much less interesting when you know that the melting arms aren't the artist intentionally playing with form—it's just a machine not knowing what arms are.

i would disagree, if someone is highly specialized in a language X then they are going to be very resistant to learning something new. And if they have to then it'd be a slow process. They would have to learn: language, frameworks, build tools, code base, industry concepts. Compare this to someone who is already familiar with tech stack: they would be only learning code base and industry concepts.

I'm optimistic that this diversity will unseat the CUDA framework's dominance in high-performance compute. OpenCL, AMD ROCm, and now "Birensupa" will compete with CUDA; hopefully leading to reduced dependence on any individual manufacturer's proprietary APIs.

Video is already possible as is shown by e.g. SALT_VERSE [1] (which may or may not use SD/DALL-E/... but that is not that interesting), what is not there yet is a --txt2vid script option. Implementing this would not be that hard but the processing time needed is quite substantial.

Something else which would be possible is the use of a model like SD in combination with a frame interpolation model like [2] as a video generator. Use SD to generate key frames, feed these to FILM and let it generate the intermediate frames and you should get video.

1) even in France, it’s hard to go after investors if a company fails, assuming the paperwork is done correctly.

2) it isn’t clear how the actual corporate structure was setup or how the acquisition occurred.

3) all of this of course depends on how it was structured, managed, etc.

But yeah, there is also the ‘go ahead, make me’ element, which even if it never comes to that, plays a part in all this. Some folks do dumb things with structuring, but I’m guessing there is at least 2 corp entity layers and a national border between any one of the French folks employed there and the decision makers and money.

If the other players know the person with the money can just walk away, it tends to make things more polite.

If the person with the money also makes folks comfortable before closing up shop (severance, for instance), it also smooths the way for an amicable resolution and reduces hurt feelings.
Depends on if temperatures drop below 70 outside.

If you're near the coast, open all windows at night when temps are low, and let the house get as cold as possible during the night.

No. And your comment is blatantly violating the guidelines.

Nothing nearly as bad as your comment. Also, even if you believe that someone else is violating the guidelines, that doesn't justify your own violations, unless you have complete disregard for them.
Right. I wrote that in the context of the linked article.

So don't think of this scheme as a reasonably efficient way of saving CO2 emissions (there are other much more economically efficient ways); at most it's a bonus.

It follows that it doesn't make sense to justify the scheme on the CO2 emissions benefit. I've seen a lot of that on European subreddits.

How to deal with the Dunning-Kruger effect in software engineering teams
1. If there are no good arguments in the collective - there's no retrospective and it's primarily a management and psychological issue. No one is able to fully self-reflect and it breaks the existing delegation / escalation chains, respectively.

2. If there are no viable data sources, when it can be proven that there's a correlation with an actual business processes, - it's a management problem. People Can't establish viable metrics, once again, mostly due to 1.

This is something any company of any size and any budget can struggle with due to lack of XP and the usual collective XP-accumulation / knowledge sharing deficiency. You can't self-reflect onto something you haven't learned about, yet. And due to 1 this is a closed loop because lack of XP can't be escalated accordingly, most of the time it's also a Workplace Deviance factor.

3. Practically, it ends up in a bouquet of Workplace Deviance because no one in the end will be willing to take the blame and actual responsibility to fix anything.

Any Problem vs Solution type of culture will worsen things a lot i.e. "All the blame and no Compassion". Companies are usually forced to adopt some Teal stuff in the end, maybe for really no other good reason, but just to keep on growing.

The idea of hiring HR that can "work by the booK" and actually build up a personal profile of how anyone could fit into all this mess is impossible by definition - due to Employee Silence and broken retro no one will be willing to expose all the shit that is happening, in the first place... So, most of the time I see Kitchen Sink companies with volatile outcomes where there really no one who could even be able to listen to any arguments, in the first place.

Google's internal ML-driven productivity metrics became a meme already for all the reasons described above. You can't reason with Toxic and Inadequate people.

Also Asana claim that Social Loafing is a myth and everything else is a retro deficiency really wrong - retro can prevent and display certain glorious occasions, but it's not a root cause of any psychological effect by definition.
Isn’t that literally what private mode is? It’s a built in feature I thought.
So if you want, you can create your own scheduler.

Also, regarding preemption, you could just checkpoint your batch jobs. I.e. assume that there are failures, and be ready for them.

I also wonder how many preemptions actually occur in practice. I.e. if not many, you can just treat them as failure and restart your nodes.

The strength of kubernetes is in distribution and ecosystem , which would be very hard to match.

> The fix is easy: ship Linux distributions so that privileged ports start from 80 to begin with.

net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80

But then this could potentially break other security models the author is not aware of that are built on this assumption. I think the middle ground here would be to have a setting to de-root a specific port.

Or whitelist a specific process for binding. Or create a server user (www is often used) that's purpose is only to have root for the sake of binding, and nothing else. Better yet, it would only be able to access resources within a tightly restricted range (file directories, ports, RAM, CPU, etc).

I don't see how unrestricted 80-1024 is actually the best answer here, given the legacy cruft that will take time to deal with.
As someone who drastically decreased complexity in my SaaS by moving from native android / ios apps to PWA, I highly disagree.

For me the change was beneficial and customers happy because it removed the feature delay between web and apps.

It wasn't liberals either. We were largely sad and provided support where we could to the citizens. We were also angry at the senators and other Texas officials who brought that situation about.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing is a big turn-off for me. The thing that keeps me coming back to a restaurant is the quality of the food, not their marketing. What I've experienced is that as the quality of the food goes down, the number of marketing notifications goes up. I've gotten an email from chipotle every 2-3 days for the last month, but the last time I went there the food was terrible.

Also, your privacy policy isn't very confidence-inspiring. Sharing name, phone, and physical location with third parties shouldn't happen. I'd never use your services for that reason alone.

Thanks. On top, for those who want to expand another bracket of detail:

- On Feb22 ARM announced the termination of Nuvia's license.

- "On February 23, 2022, Qualcomm confirmed that it was still developing the relevant Nuvia technology by stating in a court filing that certain Nuvia documents were based on “years of research and work” and would “reveal secret design components of Qualcomm chips that are still in development."

- "On March 1, 2022, the Nuvia licenses terminated, along with the corresponding rights to use or sell products based on or incorporating Nuvia technology developed under those licenses."*

- "Qualcomm further told Arm that it planned to “redeploy NUVIA employees” and “transfer NUVIA’s work” to Qualcomm and, consistent with that plan, Qualcomm has on-boarded Nuvia’s leadership and employees as Qualcomm employees".

- "Arm wrote Qualcomm clarifying that neither Nuvia nor Qualcomm was authorized to continue working on technology that was developed under the Nuvia licenses."

- "Two weeks later, Qualcomm sought Arm’s verification that a new Qualcomm processor core complied with Arm architecture so that it could be verified and incorporated into a product."

- "In June 2022, Qualcomm’s CEO reiterated that it would soon begin “sampling” Nuvia chips to companies, allowing them to design electronic devices incorporating the chips in the “next year.”19 Based on that timeline, he explained, “[i]n late next year, beginning 2024, you’re going to see Windows PCs powered by Snapdragon with a Nuvia-designed CPU.”"

>This is what I consider the modern face of Fascism

I see the word Fascism thrown around so much these days, I realized I've forgotten the real meaning of the word, so I had to look it up, and it seems that what the author is saying shares no overlap with the true meaning of the word.

I would suggest coining a new term for whatever it is you're trying to describe, rather than attempting to reinvent the definition of an existing term, because not only is it confusing, but it feels like a manipulative use of language.

Orwell has a brilliant essay on this kind of misuse of language: https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...

He actually uses Fascism as an example:

>The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’

To be fair, the rolling blackouts are during the day, not at night (nighttime energy usage drops significantly).
Meanwhile, in a complete denial of reality, the IRS (U.S. tax agency) has just revised its life expectancy tables this year in light of what they claim is an increase in life expectancy. These are the divisors used to determine the amount of annual distributions for tax purposes that retirees must take from their pre-tax accounts (IRAs, 401ks, etc). And Congress also moved the required start date up to age 72 from 70.5, again in the direction opposite of that dictated by reality. (The point of the required distributions is to get all the pre-tax money out of the accounts and taxed by expected age of death).

"In general, since life expectancy has increased, the divisor used to calculate 2022 RMDs for a given age has also increased."[0]

California is a great example of the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I've got a really dumb question, wouldn't large scale mining and transport of resources from earth to the moon slow down the earths rotation due to added mass?
Honestly, if you mine only the dark side of the moon, people will never even notice. It's not like we are destroying any ecological niche, and the volume you remove is unlikely to be enough to influence moon gravity.

I think the dangerous part is political: who get the wealth out of the moon? That's going to be a heated debate.
Of course they wouldn’t say it, generally, you’d just be round filed along with 90%+ of the other applicants and never know why.

Unless they’re entertainingly dumb, in which case they’ll bring screenshots. Which has happened.

Most companies don’t want drama with, around, or from employees. They want people who get what they need done, done.

Something comes up that looks like drama? Round file.

And good luck contesting it if they do this - courts generally give quite wide discretion to hiring decisions like this. It would need to be explicitly based on a protected class, which is quite narrow, AND they’d have to have documented it as such - which they’d have to be complete idiots to do.

Oh, and you’d have to know about, and find the documentation.
Inside that company they have a forcing function that no outside developer would enjoy. They can, and did, just dictate that POSIX i/o does not exist and your machine has no disks. In my opinion this dictatorship is responsible for a large fraction of software quality at Google. If you tell people the only thing that they can rely on is appending to files in a distributed filesystem, they're going to be able to avoid a whole class of mistakes (notably: writing something to local disk and expecting it to be there afterward).

The partisan debate is related to green energy. By and large it's insufficient for now. The very same progressives who slam coal power also slam one of the greatest forms of green energy - nuclear. Solar efficiency is only ~17%, wind is 35% but has environmental hazards associated with it. Nuclear is 92%, coal is about 80%.

So it's rather comedic to see the paragon of progressive virtue (signaling) suddenly suffering grid failure. Click through a few of these:

https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/power...

PG&E is a notable exception. However, PG&E is a mismanaged dumpster fire. There are costs to being the "leader in renewable energies" and this is one of them. Unfortunately for us normal people we have to suffer because of this virtue signaling and it comes at times like this in absurd heat waves going through the west. The problem with California in general is everything is done in a knee jerk fashion. There are right ways and wrong ways to roll out new energy programs and by fiat ruling to the rip the bandaid is how you get a situation that will kill people. This is an actual notable benefit of conservatism (the principle, not the people). You may be sometimes decades behind the latest and greatest but you don't find yourself in a heat wave without enough power, either.
