The most charitable version of "managing out" is the process of collecting up all the paperwork to cover your ass legally when you want to terminate someone. In tech that normally means putting someone on PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) with the eventual goal of them failing to meet the plan requirements and then you can terminate them and go, "We gave them a plan and they didn't meet our requirements."

People will tell you, well they could turn things around with the PIP and then we won't have to terminate them, but the term "managing out" makes it really difficult to believe that that's the desired end state. Normally those plans are set up for the person to fail or to make them miserable enough to part ways.
I didn't know about body doubling so in the mean time let me ask you some things:

- do you consider the friendly competition aspect (seeing someone do a task revives inspiration, desire, confidence, motivation to do it, when the other is tired you feel happy to fill the role)

- the emotional bond from sharing: sharing any task is often a strong bond (even just carrying a load), pain and success

- the intellectual benefits: a bit like the first point but searching for solutions gets much much cheaper with a peer. You can validate point of view / theories, feel less emotional pain from doubts it the other doesn't know too

I had more topics but I forgot
Having watched most of the GamersNexus video, my takeaways were:

- Will maintain some stock for RMAs

- Made pre-production boards for 4xxx, will not manufacture

- 3080 and above are not profitable for EVGA

- NVIDIA is not transparent about pricing with board manufacturers, they find out MRSP same time we do

- NVIDIA limits MSRP heavily on cards so they can't do things to sell more profitable higher end cards

- It sounds like (this is my takeaway from GN's description, not their words) EVGA's CEO is tired of dealing with NVIDIA, wants to refocus on family, and there isn't a clear person to replace him and hesitant to sell to people who would mistreat employees/cut corners/damage brand.

- Will continue selling power supplies

- No plan to work with AMD or Intel making boards, CEO sounded dismissive toward it
Sounds very similar to usage of “da kine” in Hawaiian Creole English (i.e Hawaiian pidgin).
This definitely not hybrid work or like work from home. Any idea what your company's policy around this was in the past? And is there any internal documentation about policies around working at/near client sites?

I can understand your employer wanting to cut expenses, but there are limits. No reason you should be out of pocket for doing the job they want you to do.
Is there a list of employers that I can reference that reject DIE (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion)? That way I know who to interview with.

"Reducing the listing" can potentially mean being pushed to page 23 of search results. In retail, that would be equivalent to never leaving the warehouse, available only upon specific request by a customer.
shit is a synonym for jawn
This is actually really helpful thank you! I suppose my question was a google search that I couldn't get quite right.
GamersNexus has a tweet summarising it

For a while, this was a popular Christmas novelty gift. https://www.gigglegadgets.co.uk/home/307-boxing-grannies.htm...
Does it have anything to do with huge stockpiles of Ampere GPUs that were stuck with AIBs after prices crash and right before Lovelace launch?
The title is slightly wrong. The actual announcement says EVGA will not produce any next-gen video cards, not just Nvidia’s. Implying they won’t produce AMD or Intel ones either.
Not his first
There’s always a market for GPUs. The market was trading higher immediately before the merge, and now it’s trading lower, so if you ran a mining operation then selling your hardware before the merge would’ve yielded some good money unless you held so much it would actually change the market price (unlikely).

So why did the price drop so suddenly? Why didn’t everyone anticipate this and sell before? Probably some combination of laziness and belief that the merge wouldn’t work.
Very good point. Apparently human players stared studying AIs playing go and Chess to learn new techniques.

I worked for Frito-Lay for several years and you better believe that's how supermarkets work. More than once I've been called in the middle of the night to a store to rip down an endcap of chips because the store got undercut by another (and in their defense, why would they give us valuable floor space on a promotion that won't sell).

I think though as comparison that the power dynamic is flipped. Exclusivity agreements usually were to the benefit of the store (against big brands at least). But against the small brands on Amazon, they favor Amazon.
If not on eBay, where, then? The list of "sold" cards on eBay appear to me to be a pretty good starting point, but if there's something I don't know, like "everyone on eBay is a scalper" (which is not implausible) then where should I be looking?
Fees are even less if they sell direct on Ebay or Shopify.

> Given that the retailers all take similar margins, I think it's crazy to somehow paint this as Amazon forcing a markup on customers. All Amazon is doing is refusing to show products if the price on Amazon is higher than at a competitor. It's the seller who chooses what to do about that. They can either raise the price at the competitor, or they can lower the price on Amazon.

Think of it this way: If that was the case, then why does Amazon require them to sell it for the lowest price on Amazon?

Amazon has a dominant market position, extracting more margin then competitors, yet they engage in this anti-competitive and consumer damaging behavior of requiring sellers to sell products at low or below cost in order to 'play' on the amazon.com marketplace.

Shameful.
These are Amazon AWS employees, probably the best paid across all their workforce.

But I felt the comment about being forced to use Windows was just cringy. Well, unless these were their iOS developers :)
Photography and Musical Instruments, it still seems pretty active. Though FB Marketplace is unfortunately making inroads the past couple years.
> I think people who use Windows don't even realize how the OS slowly get more distracting over time, making people used to all this. I am always amazed on how passively and non annoyed people click away all these virus scanner and whatever popups popping up whatever you are doing.

Personally I'm more amazed that there are people this actually happens to.

I run Windows 11. I've also got an M1 Air and a Linux box so am not blind to the alternatives or particularly biased. And I have to say that's not my experience at all.

I'll admit that upon installation I removed the start menu apps Microsoft seemed to think I'd want, and I run uBlock Origin in the browser. Other than it's an out-of-the-box install of 11 Pro and I see no adverts, no irritating cross-selling, nothing getting in my way. Windows just works and lets me get on with things.

What is it people do that gets their machines into such a state? Or am I just more careful than most without even realising? Either way as long you're sensible Windows is totally fine.
Yeah. If the author is afraid of appearing lonely, one of the most liberating things to realise is that nobody really gives a shit about you. At most, people will glance and exchange a few words upon noticing you before moving on to some other topic. For everyone else you're just part of the background of their life. Everyone is too busy thinking about their own insecurities and experience to think about you, generally speaking.

The only time people will go out of their way to be cruel about such things is in school, which leads me to suspect the author might have had a rough time.
I imagine that's what a lot of hosts prefer.

If you're a professional Airbnb host, you probably have a deal worked out with a cleaning service or you do it yourself full-time. But if you're the day-job-having Airbnb host who just rents out a single room or nearby vacation home, you probably don't want to be managing multiple check-ins/outs and cleaning multiple times a week.
What is evga? Seems like a forum ?
Eating out alone really hurts. It makes you feel that much more _alone_ because nearly everyone else is with their SO, a party, friend, etc. Bringing a phone is only a distraction to get through waiting for the meal to arrive.

I dislike it more than being alone at home.
> money, coffee, liquor, and ammunition

Uhhhh... really depends on your state for those last two.
Resting (basal) metabolic rate reduces only very slightly from ages 20 - 60. Older people tend to gain weight because they eat more and move less, not as a function of age per se.

Damn. When I saw the headline and saw it was a Youtube link, I could think of only one person I'd expect to explain this properly. Was not disappointed (at least in that regard).
That struck me immediately too.
Really nice read, and great insight into the startup world.
I thought they were principally a GPU company and Chinese. Wrong for 2/2. They're Californian and apparently not going to be a GPU company at all. What a fascinating discovery!
I'm surprised they're not pivoting to AMD cards. I'd have guessed they were a top tier AMD card manufacturer, based on their brand, and the fact that I have some of their old NVIDIA cards laying around.
Wholly appropriate
EVGA will sell you the new power supply and AIO cooler you'll definitely need for the 4090 to reach it's advertised clock speeds.
Tailless aircraft use wing trailing edge control surfaces (ailerons / elevons / flaperons) to achieve what conventional aircraft do with tails. For example, to yaw to the left the aircraft would extend control surfaces both above and below the left wing thus creating extra drag on that side. Of course the control authority is somewhat limited and sophisticated digital flight control systems are needed to translate pilot control inputs and maintain stability. Some serious failure modes are simply not recoverable, in which case the checklist procedure is to eject rather than trying to land.
Summary strongly appreciated. Thank you very much.
I mean, most people I know are rightfully holding a permanent grudge over MongoDB shipping with all forms of data safety disabled in order to look fast (and I am not even sure if it had working safety features anyway), when disabling the same features in normal relational databases that supported such disabling made MongoDB look pointless. The memes back in the day were all about "database engineers running with scissors" (and there was a great photo of a bunch of bearded people in pocket shirts running with scissors that I can't find right now). The product essentially lied and cheated its way to prominence, and forever lost the trust of anyone who was paying attention (or who cares enough about their craft and tools to study history).
Like, this kind of thing? https://voxon.co/

I had to Google it, but since I've recently been diving into volumetric video, the words made me curious.

How's it going? Any particular area you're working on?
~40 billion notes, not $40B USD. More like $2T USD.
This is cargo cult marketing behavior. Apple has had great success with "Apple Silicon", so surely "Intel Processor" will help replicate that success.
When browser managed credentials are synchronized across devices, an attacker may be able to move laterally into an enterprise by compromising the personally managed device or personally managed account (since it may be without 2FA, or may use a shared/guessable/weak password thats shared across dozens of compromised websites, or be far behind on app/OS patches, etc..)
That assumes you just keep the cash. I think what they meant was:

First year make 400k, buy 200k worth of something that is not just one egg basket. But because it's salary you do that every ~2 weeks so you end up with hopefully more than 200k by end of year already too. Continue example over the other 3 years.

Yes the upside is smaller as I would assume the broader market part would return less in the upside case. The point is that your downside is 'better'. Instead of your tech stock tanking over proportionally you'd be down less or be even or could decide to stay in cash mid year as markets tank and interest rises or buy something else like a house. It basically allows for better 'control' and a less bad worst case at the cost of being able to 'win the lottery'.

Of course you are right that just buying one stock, even if not your own company from the cash is actually worse overall. If you were gonna do that, just get the RSUs.
From your reference it can also be used as a verb, which is dope.

I kind of think that there must be a vast amount of Filipino culture I don't know about. Big population, but little penetration of the culture in mainland USA.
This is nuts. Amazon is simply choosing not to show the product. It's the seller who decides what to do about that. They can raise the price at the other retailer or they can lower the price at Amazon. Fees are similar across all of the marketplaces, so it's not like sellers make lower margins on Amazon.
Here's a bit more background on WebAuthn: https://stytch.com/blog/an-introduction-to-webauthn/

What makes it unphishable is that the authentication is not based upon something that a user can be deceived into sharing with an attacker. Passwords and one-time passcodes (OTPs) can both be remotely acquired from users when attackers convince users to share these text-based verifications with them.

Because WebAuthn validates possession of a primary device that was previously enrolled (either the computer/phone the user is leveraging for the biometric check or the user's YubiKey), it's device-bound and cannot be phished.
The last I checked, EVGA's PSUs have a very good reputation
> USSR's neutrality deal clearly led to the Nazis invading Europe

Hitler (Nazis) and Stalin (USSR) were allies and jointly invaded Poland.
RTX 3090, it has 24 gb of memory which is barely enough nowadays. Hoping that 4090s will have 48gb, but we'll know on the 20th.
Presumably those other coins are close to an equilibrium point where more people mining them would be unprofitable. Aka if the total block rewards from other coins are 1 million dollars per month, there is no way spending 2 million per month on electricity is a good idea.
Over-priced? For what it was, yes, but some of that was the BMW badge. And the interior was nicer than the competition, too. But the lead I'm referring to is being one of the first three to mass-produce EVs, and one of those three was an unknown (Tesla). BMW already knew how to build cars, they just needed to learn how to electrify them. Tesla had to go learn how to build cars, which I'll assume was harder than electrifying something you already know how to build. So while Tesla was jamming pieces of 2x4 wood into fender panels, and zip-tying pieces together, Tesla was still becoming BMW faster than BMW was becoming Tesla (to horribly butcher a Netflix CEO's words). Only the last couple of years have seen BMW trickle out something that isn't an i3.

As for Nissan, I'm with you on Chevy's competition. But I was on about how they were the first modern manufacturer of mass-produced BEVs and eleven years later...they still have just the one model that sits on the low-end. And as you point out, that singular model's lunch is probably getting eaten by Chevy Bolts.
Hackers is still one of those films that are influential and still resonates to this day. If you haven't seen it yet, I would advise to get the Region B (UK) Blu-ray release from 88 Films since not only it has the better surround mix (5.1 compared to 2.0 on the Shout Factory US release) it also has a director commentary track only seen in the UK release.

It's pretty easy to get a region free Blu-ray player these days.
Reddit’s Pro Ukraine propaganda as you call it, is mostly telling somewhat irrelevant things as if it was a good sign for Ukraine and it’s allies. It’s rarely outright fake stories as you will see on pro Russian channels.

Unless you believe that the mass graves being found are fake. If you do, I wonder what other famous war crimes you think are fake.

Also I’m curious, what Ukrainian propaganda didn’t turn out to be true?
If we don't want to believe anything they say then why bother having any diplomatic ties at all? Do you think we'd be in the same or better place if we just cut all communication with Russia?

You only know what they tell you and what your intelligence agencies can uncover. Russia said Ukraine joining NATO was a red line in diplomatic discourse and then they acted on it. Same way the USA told China that aiding Russia in this war would be a red line and China has refrained from providing direct aid even after what happened in Taiwan recently. I don't have any access to classified information so no idea what information is in there but hopefully it's a lot more accurate then what we can read on twitter and Reddit.
How dense do we want it to be? Density becomes misery after a certain point. Manhattan isn't dense enough, we're showing, but do you enjoy taking a crowded train during rush hour? Have you ever been to a supermarket where the entire inside is one long line of people pulling items into their baskets as they go, ending up in another line where numbers are called to registers.

How about a big apartment building with 10 apartments on the floor, with at least one neighbor per weekend having a party, and half the people letting their doors slam whenever they come and go at night or early morning?

Folks, good news for you - one unit will be available soon, I'm happy to add a vacancy to this delightful city as I age out of it.

Density is not one size fits all. A walkable city guy my whole life, my mental health has taken a real beating. Density is for the young, that's the bottom line. Anyone who is a light sleeper or doesn't enjoy going out a lot at night is just taking one for the team.

This is a little like saying "just do it". It's not really pragmatic. Many humans feel uncomfortable being "exposed" in various ways, and one of those ways is being conspicuous in public. I enjoy going to the theater alone, but you're sitting in the dark among people in a continuous sea of seats, not grouped into tables. In a restaurant, it feels conspicuous to be eating alone, even though I have the experience of being on the other side of it - seeing people eating alone at restaurants all the time, and never giving a single thought about them. Self-consciousness isn't compelled by logic.

For some reason I've never had this issue at diners though. It's always a joy to eat alone at 6 am in a diner, no matter how many other parties are there. I don't know how that environment tricks my brain into feeling comfortable. Bars, too. I guess there is a popular image of lone patrons in these settings, and it makes one feel less conspicuous.
does this apply when both dave's discount stereo and steve's discount stereo are subsidiaries of the "Dave Steve Stereo Corporation"?

Maybe they both outsource inventory and order processing to the parent company only having distinct sales and marketing.
People use (or at least used) Craigslist because they like it when websites and apps actually work. I never encountered bugs or bizarre UI problems when using Craigslist. It turns out the only people who care about flashy animations, fancy drop shadows, "native" looking UI elements, Material/Human design principles, etc., are developers and designers. Normal people only care about those things when functionality is solved first. If it functions like crap, but it looks good, you're just putting lipstick on a pig, and lipstick might not have even been called for in the first place.
I predict it will go up, it will go down. On average it will be flat
Yes, in his speeches Putin likes to go back to the 16th century and so on. But the truth is very simple: Ukraine was living in peace for several decades. I was there many times and I met happy people, Ukrainians and Russians. Both were very nice, hospitable, and I saw no problems between them. They had different kinds of problems: poverty, corruption and so on.

Putin attacked Ukraine in 2014 because of Euromaidan - because he saw that Ukraine ceases to be under Russian influence. And yet, we decided it is more convenient to trade with him and pretend the shelling doesn't exist and people don't die in Donbas. This emboldened him to start the war in 2022, take over KIev and install his own puppet government. This didn't work well and now Russia is in a very dark place. I hope you can get out of there somehow.
Before the pandemic, I used to go out alone on purpose just to meet random people. (I'm married.) I know this isn't for everyone, but I got good at it and I enjoy(ed) it. I've noticed however, that this is a skill that can atrophy. It's taken me a little while to get back to my old self in public places.
Nginx scales to 1,000,0000 workers per vm in my tests, but bandwidth is silly.

I got those results by seriously limiting the junk in http headers. Not with real browsers.

If you have that demand for any commercial service, you have money to distribute your load globally across more than one nginx instance.
Why stop with stopping Adobe? Why not set up campaigns to stop companies like Oracle and IBM from making acquisitions, too? For the same reasons you state at your website.

This sounds like someone is just aggravated that Adobe bought the app that they rely on and are worried that Adobe will 1) jack up the price, and 2) ruin it in some way. Might just be time to find an alternative.
Disabling a password manager that's built into a browser? That's simply madness. What do they expect people to use? Their brain to remember all their passwords rather than a password manager? And rely on their brain to know they are on a site whose domain doesn't match the domain in the password manager despite looking very similar?

Also this has nothing to do with passwords in Google's hands. They could turn off syncing in Chrome and have a completely local password manager. I personally do exactly that.

Your org will suffer many data breaches due to this policy.
The Gutenberg Press shaped the way that the Church and State functioned and how information was disseminated throughout the world.
Bitcoin strives to separate the State from Money while sharing the same game theory as the Gutenberg Press.
Thanks, I hadn't noticed that HN had mangled it. Fixed now.
I didn't say that the emulating China is what should be done in this case. I much prefer the UX of Apple Pay with my watch - it still feels magical.

It is interesting how much cheaper the QR based payment schemes are in China. Payment processors in the west charge 2-3% typically for tap/dip/swipe. In China, the QR transaction fee is a fraction of that. Also, a bunch of the infrastructure for printing, displaying, and reading the QR codes is pretty cheap.
That's not the reverse, we're describing almost the same problem
I love eating out alone, as well as watching movies alone, taking walks alone, even traveling abroad alone (/r/solotravel) and so on. It's so much more liberating to do things you want to do at the exact time you want to do them without having to wait for anybody to accompany you.

At the same time, I'm not sure why there's so much anxiety from the author about doing things alone. As I'm not one of those people, perhaps I have a hard time understanding it, but the truth is, no one gives a shit about you in their day to day life, so there's really no societal pressure that I think the author feels.
In case the CEO is reading this -

Turn it into a employee-owned company!
Thank you. One addition:

- Video cards are 78% of revenue for EVGA.
It's interesting the disparity in our experiences. I absolutely relish the chance to have an hour entirely to myself, get a nice meal without cleaning up after, have a beer or two, watch Netflix!

I also used to be a consultant, so there's that...
