Profit isn't usually a big part of any budget.

Ok, but budget directly influence profit, no?

Do you have a proposed solution? How would one mitigate the "low bid" incentive?

My experience is that it creates an incentive to often create excessively low bids (to the point of not being profitable) in order to ensure a company gets a contract. And then ensure their "budget/profit" is made up by either a) cutting corners to reduce overhead or b) making change orders to increase revenue.

One solution is additional oversight, but it's not clear to me that is a feasible option.
Or there was a much longer conversation with twists and turns and the author distilled it for the format.
The flip side to this, are some of us who have had to move back in with parents as adults for various reasons. I might miss them when they’re gone, but I also feel like I’ve had enough interaction for one lifetime, especially when they’re also the person that causes me the most stress in life.

It is natural to fly the nest. The ridiculous housing market that is forcing generations to live together is not. In tribal cultures, when people come of age the tribe comes together to build them a hut. In modern societies, you come of age and it’s “Get lost, I don’t want any houses built round here or my house price will go down. You can get a house when you inherit one or earn one. Now get to work serving me and don’t complain that your earnings are far outstripped by house price, rent and utility inflation.”

Live close to your parents by all means, that’s probably the sweet spot for most. But what really is the point of modern societies if we can’t even replicate things our ancestors had long solved? For the love of god can someone sort the fucking house crisis out.

We can put aside bias, the reality is that the mining industry is greenwashing mining based on hypothetical scenarios and a few renewable mining sites that are overshadowed by the massive miners. E.g. the Riot Blockchain ~300MW site in Texas IIRC is natural gas (I can't find the source, but they would certainly proudly tell investors if it were renewable). The 105MW Marathon site in Montana is coal. I think the Greenridge natural gas plant in NY has (had?) a 107MW capacity.

This is mining sites that we know about, because they are public companies in the US. I doubt that the stealthy, privately-owned miners in Kazakhstan are using cleaner sources.
I made an ad fraud startup which ran into the exact same problem. With video ads, advertisers will pay 10x more to be in a “user initiated” video player (the user clicked or there was a reasonable expectation there’d be a video on that page - YouTube, camera icon on preceding link, etc).

But more often then not, those ads are running in an autoplay context (sticky video players in the bottom corner, large players in the footer, etc).

I built a mechanism which could tell the difference (viewport, fixed positioning, fingerprint elements on the page, provide a screenshot of the offended page with your ad on it, and various other signals).

We ran tests with advertisers, agencies, demand side platforms (dsps), server side platforms (ssps). We’d compare their existing fraud numbers (very low) with our reports (80% fraud).

Within each company, we’d have a champion saying “this is going to change everything. Quality supply, better performance metrics, etc etc”. Then we’d get introduced to a team whose compensation was driven by “percentage of spend” - every deal died at this stage.

My opinion: if your company is using online advertising tied to conversions (someone buying something, or potentially signing up for something) then you’ll be fine as long as it’s economical. But if your ads are for brand awareness, be extremely careful running on any website which isn’t in the top 10 sites on the internet.
Ideally the health checks would be done with someone else, to reduce that adversarial conflict of interest problem.

Maybe your doctor should even get a small reward each time you pass the basic health check, so that in aggregate they are better aligned with keeping people in shape for those checks.

Only if it keeps its insane valuation. If its value goes down so will the hash rate.

> I think eventually PoW may have to be regulated out of existence. It's not ideal, but with Bitcoin lacking any real governance or organisation, I don't see any other way of fixing it.

It could be surpassed by another crypto currency. If that happens it will be very interesting to see if its value proposition still holds (gold is still considered valuable even though it is also only a meme asset nowadays) or if only a few enthusiasts will continue mining it.

If the latter happens the hashrate will collapse.
Good advice and classic video.

When I moved from Canada to the Bay area I thought, and everyone said, that they (friends, family) would come visit. Spoiler: I got 2 visits in 8 years, both by my mom.

This despite me going back to see varying people roughly twice per year.

I've sadly learned that many of those relationships are a one way street of convenience. They're happy to see me when I come, to walk down memory lane. But they'll never put in the effort to come see me. Sadly this realization has been the demise of many of those relationships that I was carrying.

The difficulty of replacing the depth of relationships you have is a cost that few immigrants realize until "too late"[1], and making new ones is quite difficult because many people who remain in their place/culture will be reasonably satisfied by the quantity/quality of their relationships and thusly not really that open to starting new ones. This is one that that (at one time) made the bay area pretty special, maybe true of Austin now, it's _full_ of people from someonewhere else who are in the same situation -- looking to replace lost relationships and unable to break into calcified cliques.

[1] yeah yeah pedantic HN it's not to late unless your both dead, sure. But it's also awkward af to sit in a room with a friend you havent seen in 10 years and be like "oh what's your wife's name?" (and he gives you a smile "we've been married for 6 years, how can you not know <Jane>'s name?" or similar idea with their kids. You'll come to find their world has moved on and changed, and what you had is just a nice memory.
Faced with rising hyperinflation -- that's what it is -- Erdogan has repeatedly ordered Turkey's non-independent central bank to cut interest rates, making money cheaper and easier to borrow for everyone, flooding the economy with cheap cash, contributing to greater inflation.

Remarkably, Erdogan and his cronies do not think they have made a mistake! They continue to act as if they know better, put on a brave face, reduce rates further, and wait for their idiotic actions somehow to work, as if by magic. Quoting from the OP: "Turkish officials say that their measures will bring inflation down in the coming months."

They're so far off in their understanding of monetary matters, they're not even wrong. And yet, they cannot see it. Their blind obstinacy reminds me of a quote by John Kenneth Galbraith:

"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof."[a]

This topic could be potentially interesting to study, but this particular study is a bit weak, as it makes no effort to control for any other variable which might correlate with party affiliation.

They used a dataset of people in Ohio who voted in 2018 and in Florida who were registered and declared a party in 2017.

They simply compared the death rates of these two groups. They did not attempt to account for age, location, access to quality healthcare or wealth.

In both states -- but even moreso in Florida than Ohio -- party affiliation is heavily correlated with wealth. It is also correlated with age and with the population density of the city/town (which itself is linked to healthcare access)

On the other hand, the fact that the mortality rates only diverged after vaccines became available is pretty strongly suggestive of a casual link involving the vaccines -- but this paper doesn't explore the issue adequately to really change our understanding of the situation.

A good table saw costs more than a gaming set up and it only does one thing. You will need more than one type of saw. You might need a planer, a drill press, a lathe. The list keeps getting bigger.

Or maybe you want to do machining(high end hobby), now you need a garage which will cost you ten thousands of dollars or you rent one for a hundred or maybe four hundred dollars per month. Then you need machines which cost more than 5k dollars and you guessed it, you will require multiple machines like that.

The only thing worse may be when a vendor sends documentation for their "REST" web service that is clearly just machine reformatted SOAP.
The government is not separate from the economy. It is part of the economy.

I'll give you an example: the city where I live supplies clean water to the citizens. For this service they charge a fee to everyone who is hooked up to the city water supply. If that was a private company providing the same service, would it suddenly count as part of the economy where before it didn't? The same people would be providing the same service for the same fee. It doesn't make any sense to say that the service the city provides is not part of the economy.

The same goes for every service the government provides. It employs people, takes in money, and spends money. It's part of the economy. No different from any corporation except that it has the right to do certain things that private corporations can't, and also it's run democratically whereas private corporations are not.

And yes, they spend every penny they take in, because it makes no sense for them to do otherwise unless they are trying to intentionally reduce the amount of money circulating for some reason. Private corporations could do that too, if they wanted, they just don't.

"For those reasons, whether Bitcoin continues to be successful or fails in terms of broader adoption, there’s no risk of the network using too much energy in the grand scheme of things. By any metric, it’s a rounding error as far as global consumption energy is concerned, with a sizeable chunk of its energy usage consisting of sustainable or otherwise wasted energy.

People focusing heavily on the environmental “E” side of ESG as it relates to Bitcoin often overlook the “SG” component- social and governance. At the end of the day, I consider Bitcoin to be one of the most ESG assets around, just not in the corporate sanitised conception that the term ESG is often used in."
> I might see an ad today, think about it for a week, then come back and buy the product later.

In general, unless a specific sale can be affirmatively linked to a user who has clicked an ad for a specific product, then it is excluded. Basically, the ad providers stats won't count people like you who clear cookies regularly, so the business benefits from those sales and the ad provider loses out.

So, in general, stats collection and reporting errors are in favor of the business selling goods.

When I go back I have a large number of people to visit. When someone comes here they are here to visit me. Motivation is additive - I kind of want to visit X people and so in total it is worth going. While they only have their kind of motivation to visit me.

I get a few visits just because I'm at a large crossroads and a good driving distance away to stop for the night. (they might go a few more hours if I didn't live here, but since they can have supper with me that makes stopping here worth it.

"How bots corrupted advertising"

Ah, yes, "advertising," that fine institution representing the best the world has to offer in purity and honesty...
Well, it's up to them.
I always find it interesting that around this amount of money is what's selected often for in hopes of a quick payment - as in, for most people, if it's a single one-off event - if they have money - $2.5k is bordering on deciding between wasting your time and paying a lawyer likely up to a similar amount for bare minimum involvement and response from a lawyer, or just paying it and getting it off your mind.

If they ding 1,000,000 people with that who are more likely to pay than not, it's a sweet ~$2.5 billion.

Is this simply a new revenue stream tactic since they're arguably at their peak and aren't going to gain more market share? Maybe they're just trying to milk the remaining users for as much as they can while they see PayPal being a sinking ship?

Some updated figures through 2021
Solar = 2.8%
Wind = 9.2%

Total renewables = 20.1%, that includes hydro which may not be as renewable as we thought.

Not sure if we are looking at different sources, they are counted differently, etc.

Probably his most influential projects have been ffmpeg and QEMU. Lots of people use software incorporating or derived from those, often without even realising. I think most developers would be proud of a legacy containing starting just one project like either of those. He's also got a great body of interesting other projects and hacks, including a linux capable VM running in the browser, a digital tv broadcaster using a single pin of vga, a popular embeddable javascript engine, a C compiler that could compile and boot the linux kernel in less than 15 seconds - allowing effectively 'boot from source', an award winning neural network based text compressor and many more - to say nothing of temporarily holding the record for most digits of PI calculated (using a formula he invented, and on a home PC).

During COVID my wife and I decided to pack up our lives in NYC, move home, and bring work with us.

To make matters worse, I don’t even think I’ll get five more years with my mother, let alone fifteen. She’s 70 and has quite severe COPD that puts her in the hospital with some regularity (yay, smoking). So I probably should visit her more often, while I can.

Cramming a PS3 on the PS4 made no sense, unless you wanted a 599 dollars console vs a 399 dollars.

PS3 had a shaky launch precisely for that reason, it launched at 599. The PS4 launched at 399 (a hundred bucks cheaper than the Xbox One btw and one the reasons it got a massive lead since the beginning)
