It's very true. The Godfather and the Godfather II are a direct adaptation of the book. In Godfather II, the movie outlines how Vito Corleone becomes the Godfather and it's all about being poor and Italian and the unfairness of society towards them. In the First movie it's only alluded to how society is so unfair to poor Italians and that crime is the only way for great men to find their destiny.

The movie is about Italian immigrants but it can easily be about any poor social class. If a person doesn't have the opportunities and role models then crime is often the way many people see their best path to greatness and riches.

BTW, the discrimination of immigrants has always been a reality so the book is building on the true facts of how our society functions.
That article mentions "reserves" 5 times and cost/price not once. Same type of articles were written about peak oil and then the price of oil went up and magically reserves grew as it be came profitable to find and extract new sources of oil.

The FTC says they're going to take a look to see if there is any collusion. There's a reason those laws are on the books and real harm to workers could happen if they were colluding. It seems like these gig economy companies are spending a lot of time and effort to entice workers from other gig economy companies to join them, so maybe it's actually working correctly already.
I think it will be important as we transition to EVs to have more energy available.

In Ontario, the typical family home uses something like 750 kWh/month on average. If you estimate 5km/kWh (roughly right?), and presume a car is driving something like 1000 km/month, that's an extra 200 kWh/month needed, about a 25% increase.

But in the less developed parts of the world, a car might just be a much larger component of personal energy use- perhaps most of it.

I was once told, by a salesperson in a TV store that this was essentially "by design" and that the solution they're taught to present is to "buy a soundbar". From his understanding, in the quest to get thinner TV manufacturers sacrificed built-in speaker size and quality, which results in the effect you describe. I am not sure how much is sales patter and how much is truth...but I bought a sound bar!
This article is biased and tries hard to make a point that the US is rich because the majority religion is protestant, while it's rather that the US is rich despite being a very religious country. The article even says that the richer a country, the less religious it is, except for the US, which means the claim about protestant religion and wealth is baseless.

Also even within the US, the more educated, less religious people tend to be, and that means in poorer neighborhoods there's more religious people, and there's a higher percentage of people in jail who are religious compared to the percentage of religious people in the general population.

If you go to the source of that claim, you'll see that it's basically about proven reserves, using current tech and know how, basically how we did it for oil, when we were supposed to run out of oil in 1872, 1919, 1960, etc.

I haven't read the book, but the movie doesn't show Michael's decision to join the family business being motivated by mistreatment by society, except for a corrupt police chief who is himself part of a marginalized ethnicity (Irish-American) and paid off by another Italian-American gang. The movie doesn't show Michael being victimized by WASP society.
Yes, but those problems are ubiquitous. I have the same types of problems with employers for my absurdly lucrative software engineering positions.

Looking at these issues in context, this industry seems no worse than any other.
Zotac's first-party storefront and other first-party stores were selling 3090s at well over $2k, so if there were caps they were capped at ~50% above FE pricing or higher. Not "around the range of a FE", that doesn't even pass the smell test lol.

TUL Corp is a great example to look at the profit margins of GPU companies, because their revenue is approximately 95% GPUs (they own PowerColor) and they're publicly traded, unlike most of the other examples of GPU-heavy private companies (EVGA is privately owned). I've seen them used for similar analyses of the 2018 mining boom on seeking alpha [0], for example.

https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/roco/6150/financials

So, profit in 2019: -80m. Profit in 2020: 30m. Profit in 2021: 1.08 billion.

So, they made a 36x increase in profits that year. In contrast, topline revenue increased only 2.3x. So they had a massive fucking increase in margins.

People need to stop being so incredibly credulous, do you really think the CEO doesn't have his own angle here?

It's completely amazing, a year ago nobody would have pissed on these CEOs if they were on fire, because everyone knew they were selling straight to mining farms. And now everybody is just taking them at their word that they didn't make any money on GPUs during the mining boom, heck they probably lost money right?

Like gosh if they say they didn't rob the bank I guess we just have to trust them, why would they lie about something like that?

It's been really fascinating watching the "green man bad" field overpower everybody's common sense. I guess the reflexive hatred of NVIDIA is stronger than the hatred of miners and companies that catered to miners. So much so that people will believe obvious lies (or significant misrepresentations) from companies that were blatantly profiteering right in front of our faces for more than a year, as long as it caters to the "green man bad" perspective. It is incredibly frustrating to watch, as someone who considers themself a seeker of truth and insight.

But then, here we are with the "partners didn't really make any money on GPUs during the mining boom" take. Could it just maybe be possible that maybe the CEO is not being fully honest here?

The author of this article utterly fails to understand the Godfather. The movie is not condoning the criminal acts depicted. It is explaining how the people depicted come to be the way they are. You can explain something without condoning it. (Duh.)
Thanks for signing up! We definitely do the same when it comes to pair programming the boring or difficult parts.

You make a great point about the real-time experience. We think the key component for why body doubling works is because of that real-time aspect. I've tried a variety of journals, to-do lists, calendar reminders, etc. all for naught. But once someone is there, a switch flips and it's almost effortless.
I think you brought up some interesting points. You increased the complexity of the model by adding new dimensions. But you did not explain how including these would change the conclusion. Does assuming the switching cost makes a gig work opportunity a net negative for those seeking a job? The pros and cons should be quantified somehow, but that is probably almost impossible to do. In that case I am inclined to make sure as many people as possible have the opportunity to work, since I believe that not being able to be a productive member of a society is very bad for a man.
Just to be clear, pandas and numpy are not the "wonky" libraries. They are, in my experience, basically two of the most easily installed and dependency managed libraries in python, given their ubiquity and maturity. Maybe there are machine configurations I'm not familiar with that they are not easily compatible, but I've never seen them cause issues. Usually it's cuda or other gpu stuff, or conflicts in less regularly maintained packages

My wife has always had insanely irregular cycles. We ask the docs if that could be part of the problem and they’re like “maybe.”

The insane thing is that insurance doesn’t cover fertility treatments.

So she can ask about her irregular cycles, but the moment she asks if this will interfere with having a baby, the doctors say “if I answer that question, I’ll have to code this appointment in a way insurance won’t cover.”

Apparently in the eyes of insurance companies, a 30 year old woman who can’t get pregnant is perfectly healthy.

You’re seemingly unaware that petrochemicals can be synthesized with energy and simple organic feedstocks.

i use git-timemachine for emacs, letting me move backwards or forwards through commits in the current file.

i do something similar for uncommitted changes. every time emacs saves a file, it saves a copy to a .backups/ folder with a timestamp appended, then prunes copies to the latest 50. with similar hotkeys to git-timemachine i can travel backwards and forwards through saves of the current file.

after that i backup my home folder with git and tar[1].

> The thing is that C is still the lingua franca abi, so there's still no need to rewrite in bulk, you can still just use the same C libraries in another language

No. C is the lingua franca for exported public stable ABIs, which is an extremely small subset of any given program's ABI usages.

C++ ABI is just as widely used as C's, just for internal unstable linkage instead of stable exported linkage. So yes you still need to rewrite in bulk to move off of C++, unless your code happened to be tiny & only used C API libraries.
Presumably Texas can represent themselves as long as anyone within TX was using a service by a company violating the law. Now, if FB banned anyone with a geoip resolving to Texas, that'd be quite the firepower to claim that TX has no jurisdiction.

Python and Ruby were considered multiparadigm languages once, and the internet didn't hate them at all.

I think "the internet" tends to complain about languages which have accrued complexity over time, and contain parts that are now considered bad but still lurk in the shadows tripping you up.

That's because reserves are what matters. I don't care if there's billions of tons of lithium at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, nobody's ever going to go get it because it's too dangerous, difficult, and expensive. The same thing with space mining. Nobody's going to go mine asteroids because it's stupidly expensive. For all intents and purposes, if we can't get to it, it doesn't exist.

And let's not forget about all the problems that "innovative" methods of oil extraction such as fracking have created, over and above the fact that it's provided more oil to burn. Lithium mining itself is already an environmental disaster, and it seems highly unlikely that increased demand for the product is going to improve the environmental impact of extracting it. You know, tragedy of the commons and all. The fact that "peak oil" came and went is not a capitalist success story.
I agree with you that this is capitalism, but I wouldn't take that as a positive. If anything, this is society (via the FTC) reigning in some of the worse aspects of capitalism.

Every "obligation" that Uber and friends avoid with its gig workers policy (health insurance, accident insurance, unemployment, retirement) falls on the shoulders of the taxpayer. The companies are privatizing the profits and socializing the costs (which is something that capitalists like to do) and society is arguing that this is not what they want. It's the same reasoning for forcing construction companies to pay for the safety equipment of their workers even if market forces would prefer the workers to pay for it themselves.

In fact, the original Roe v Wade decision is the archetypical example of outcome oriented judiciary, of “judges ignoring the constitution, the law, past precedent, the will of the people, and the facts of the case, in order to make up a logically incoherent "argument" that happens to promote the judges’ pre-decided zany partisan outcome.”

First, nothing in constitution talks about abortion. Second, when Roe was passed, it forced states to allow actions that previously have been illegal in every single one, i.e. it ignored the law. Third, it ignored the precedent that saw limiting abortion as perfectly kosher. Fourth, it ignored the will of the people, who at the time were decidedly against abortion being allowed to the extent Roe requires (and in fact, they still are to this very day, if you ask them if abortions should be allowed in 6th month of pregnancy). Finally, the argument in Roe is completely incoherent as a matter of law, being based on the “emanations of the penumbra” of what is being said in the actual law.

I do think that abortion should be legally allowed, up until 15th week. Nevertheless, Roe is the clearest example of extremely bad judiciary.

> If I had to make a game right now though, I would be way faster in C++.

I've no doubt about that, learning Rust sometimes feels like having to swim with your hands tied in the back.

> That said though, I do hope as I learn rust everything becomes obvious. I would be very happy if I get equally as productive (since that means I can use rust for everything).

Good luck:), don't be afraid to stop and try again a few weeks later if you get too frustrated: I struggled a bit to learn rust early 2016 and after a few weeks of night hacking, I had no more free time to carry on and I was still very confused about all of that. Then, I stopped for almost 6 months, having read of few blog posts in Reddit in the meantime but nothing especially eye opening or anything, and when I got back to Rust for some reason everything sounded clear and I completed my first project in Rust very smoothly, as if my brain had been slowly digesting the concepts in a background thread during that time.

> I guess I just worry that certain things are like custom graph data structures, where suddenly ownership is a huge issue.

Advice: avoid them as much as possible (most of my former use of graph-like structures where in fact related to programming patterns and not strictly necessary for what I wanted to do) and if you're really manipulating graphs, you should probably use a dedicated library (I think petgraph is the most popular but these kind of things can be workload dependent so you might need to go for another one).
The "new" way is basically updated Pascal, which was the right way to do it, from back in the 80's.
