This confuses present value of future earnings (a poor approximation maybe but a fundamental driver of the company's market cap) with a portion of ongoing expenses, in this case some years' salary. I don't think you can really draw any conclusions from it.
Is it bad to discourage status-seeking behavior, such that the people are just that way... look elsewhere?
It’s a bit more true in the commercial sector. But even there it will eventually collapse or be sold off.
Yes, but I hazard a guess it's 30/30/30 fanbois/trolls/real. I would love to be paid to be nasty about Musk, alas I have to decide to do it for love not money. What category does that put me in?
You can see this at work all day on /pol/ as well.
How many others are there on the team?

Have they recently been “burned” by another seasoned engineer and are not open to advice or feedback? Team abuse happens and it sucks to walk into that.

Set a deadline today for measurable things to improve. You have a good list of measurable things to start with. Discuss this with your manager. Measure progress and if they haven’t improved by your deadline, leave.

Do you think you know the long term mission of SpaceX? It certainly is not colonizing Mars, no matter what Elon claims. Nothing SpaceX is known to be working on is anywhere close to adequate for that.

My own guess is it is to get the US military dependent on him. Then he can write himself billion-dollar checks. NASA is just for practice.

Well, induced demand is a popular theory in other areas, so... maybe?
City parks solve the problem of greenery reasonably well.

Trees on streets help, too.

AirBnB homes are so much nicer than those sterile corporate chains. It is not the same experience.
Or go here anytime a post shows up about crime in San Francisco.

In r/bayarea there was a poster that posted nothing but crime posts multiple times a day. If anyone pointed it out they’d be heavily downvoted within minutes. There are groups dedicated to this in many city subreddits.
That's a bit of an inane, edgelord take, no?
This is inaccurate. If a landlord lowers the rent of a rent stabilized apartment, they are able to raise it again at the next renewal to whatever the authorized rent is.

I lived in an NYC rent stabilized apartment for a number of years, and my rent was always articulated as legal rent is X, offered rent is Y.
>If you cannot see that people resisting jumping on an emotionally appealing bandwagon with racist undertones

It wasn't that back then, especially if you were following trends in that vein of research. We just had a cheeto in office, so people reached for the first shoe to dismiss it/discredit the cheeto instead of actually grappling with an intrinsically frightening, destabilizing possibility.

Also, treating anything as a conspiracy theory (a phrase coined, popularized, and cultivated during the Cold War/Vietnam era to discredit activists/leakers) by default is perhaps not the best starting point of a proper investigator. You should be going in with as few notions as can be supported by facts you can prove, or that can't be otherwise immediately disproven. The disprovable ones should only be thrown out if you are handed evidence that disproves it. Something you can't prove, bit you can't get cooperation to disprove is still on the table.

Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must within it contain the truth. And you won't ever get there if you're putting out your eyes in the beginning.
Wage & price controls have been tried for 4,000 years. They have never worked yet. But this never discourages people from trying them again.

Sandy Hook Families Seek $2.75T from Alex Jones
I’m talking about how the framing makes people think and how we can drift toward abstraction over reality. When we talk about the police or the state being created to do something, we’re implying that the intention involved in its creation might be the most important thing about it. At least it still expresses the will of it’s creator. For something involving as many people as police or states, I think this undervalues the importance of individual intentions over abstract insitutional goals.

For specific examples here like, “the police are not there to help you, only the rich,” you can easily find counterexamples, but let’s be a little more generous and imagine it means that the individual intentions of officers are negated by something else. That something else is more likely to be the interests of real living people and not abstract institutional purposes for which the police were created. The institution might provide them an opportunity to pursue their goals because of the power it presents, but any misalignment of goals with public interest is because of the intentions of people in the system, not the will of the system itself.

Maybe that seems too obvious, but I think it’s established that people tend to anthropomorphize things, and when we talk about the will of the police or the state or a corporation, it’s easy to slip into thinking of an abstract entity as a person with thoughts and desires, which only hides the problem.
Generative A.I. Is Here. Who Should Control It?
I still use this mailsystem albeit less than I did in the 80s and 90s. To me, it's the pinnacle of "it's just Unix files" as a model for information management.

(n)mh is actively maintained. A loving cast of characters from rand have been involved in email, including the much missed Norman Shapiro who wrote the RAND report on email misbehaviour.
I had the impression from you previous comments that you wanted the strict rules to prevent artists from maximizing ticket prices since the context is 'ordinary working class people can't afford a lot of concerts any more".

But if you are ok with artists setting high ticket prices as long as scalpers don't get any then I don't disagree.
Maybe you should move to North Korea where the government does exactly that
The fact that it's a parody of a Bob Dylan song and Bob is itself a palindrome, is the cherry on the cake. It's my favourite Weird Al song for this reason.
I saw ads in the newspapers here in California that said it was 30 dollars for a doctor to say you need weed without even seeing you.

Soon after that we just voted to make it legal.
Giving more power to a too-big-too-fail monopolist and hoping it will behave well is not a sensible system. CAs have been doing shady stuff before CT and there's no reason why they wouldn't resurrect MITM-for-cash business given DANE.

With WebPKI we have multiple mutually-distrusting parties keeping each other in check. It has become a better system.
Factory work cannot be done from home. With re-industrialization trying to take off, there will be more factory work, with many positions requiring highly educated / trained professionals.
This article does not claim that Af Klimt, or indeed anyone, had or has supernatural powers. It merely describes that they and others held such beliefs.

Any other reading requires performing cartwheels with language to foster a gross misreading of a single sentence fragment, one that even by your own admission is open to multiple interpretations (Catholic indeed), and it’s an interpretation that is not supported by any of the rest of the text.

That final tirade explains why, I guess: this is some personally motivated attack on an individual. The only takeaway I have from this exchange is “be careful with phrasing in published articles, lest some hostile crank try to make it sound like you claimed something unintended”.

> The point was the journalist says Af Klint is clairvoyant, or doesn't want to write "self-proclaimed clairvoyant", possibly out of fear of damaging Af Klint's image.

It’s entirely possible they did write more explicit words to such effect, and the author or a sub-editor trimmed it for length as simply unnecessary. As the most banal explanation, Occam’s razor once again applies, and this seems more likely than allegations of intentional disinformation.

Looking past the weak attempt at slandering a journalist - a profession hardly short of far more deserving targets, when it comes to questionable claims - there is an actual interesting question to be asked, and that’s the extent to which their beliefs drove artistic output. Sadly I will not likely be in London for the Tate Modern exhibition to find out.
You might be surprised to learn Musk isn't the only employee of Tesla. Most of Tesla's profits the past decade have been carbon credits and not their cars. Like SpaceX the hard work is done by other people while Elon tweets like a 12 year old girl.
True , Microsoft p by e is 25 so twenty years should be a good approximate? Or how much would be appropriate?
The Air is better than any other tablet out there so it feels like it ought to be the best. Then you try the Pro and realize there’s a whole ‘nother level you didn’t know existed.

Lag on the Air is noticeable. I don’t mean inconveniently so. The Air is extremely good. But I mean you can literally notice a delay between movement and registration of that motion on the app.

The Pro on the other hand is so fast you can’t even tell there’s a delay. It’s like the difference between 60fps and 144fps in VR. It crosses the uncanny valley from being a human computer interface and knowing that it is, to just feeling like it is a pen writing on a glassy surface.
Or maybe to take exercise and nutrition seriously.
Don't forget the recent experience with the government forcing you to let someone live in your property for free...
I remember seeing this wasn't possible because the CPU uses 16KB page tables but GPUs only know how to work with 4KB but I can't find the reference anymore. I don't know if this just requires a change in VBIOS or a whole new GPU but it would mean it's up to nvidia, AMD, or Intel to make a Mac-specific GPU even though no Apple Silicon devices have PCIe slots so it would only be for the small minority of Mac users inside the small minority of eGPU users.
Some find it immoral, especially when the landlord has multiple properties, or when, like in the article, they hold up the apartments vacant until their conditions are satisfied. There are also people who are basically social parasites, living off of rent and the work of those who actually contribute to society.
If only I could get paid to gush about how great Musk is, you and I would have great job security!
Agreed - Apple has certainly made its zillions so it's nice to see the artist/designer get the credit and print sales!

A signed print by the original artist is a pretty cool artifact - and unlike an NFT you can actually hang it on your wall!

The Happy Mac icon is such a welcoming bit of pixel art - a modern classic. It's also interesting to see Steve Jobs in icon form in the 1984 set.
The Susan Kare icons, fonts, and visual design elements gave the original Macintosh a quirky visual charm that modern Apple systems and gadgets, slick as they may be, seem to lack.

Their design was/is deceptively simple - subtle and brilliant with a sense of fun.

All the original Mac bitmap fonts are beautiful. Monaco 9 is surprisingly legible at 1:1 resolution on my 4K monitor (though unfortunately Apple broke bitmap font rendering in Terminal on macOS Monterey.)

I don't know whether the Chicago font is original to the Mac, but I still see examples of it everywhere.
> Impotence is a side effect of marijuana smoking

This is not remotely true and the link you shared looks like SEO spam for an erectile dysfunction clinic.
Sorry you feel like that. I tried to counteract for this by including the TL;DR at the top. OTOH this did come from an effort to implement the lambda calculus I discuss at the beginning, but I thought it was reasonable enough to make a small post.

LuaTeX and XeTeX usually aren't an option where LaTeX comes up, i.e., in academic submissions. This is a common discussion, see [the comments under my previous post].

Business and commerce are emergent phenomena and they would exist without the state “allowing” me to organize freely with other people for financial gain.

Property rights are the foundation of civilization. Please - go start your own commune as so many fantasists have and see how well it goes. I prefer to own my own stuff and keep thieves from taking it.
Wow, I... don't understand anything about this. I'd probably have to dig much deeper into this, or maybe even be a skater myself.

I don't understand what the tricks are and why they relate to each other. This is where skating myself would probably be important.

I don't even really get what a "part" is, what it is that is being named "Verso" here. I don't understand why the videos I'm looking at seem to consist of multiple different short clips, instead of being one long unbroken clip of what I would have expected "Verso", or maybe at least just the "ender", to be.

Are all the clips together "Verso"? Are they individual reenactments of Verso? Is Verso even a sequence of moves or is it some sort of, I don't know, style? Is the "ender" one clip or multiple?

So I basically understand neither the, uh, performance, nor the framing of it all? Which is an interesting feeling.

This is not a jab of any kind. From the way people talk about this, this totally seems like something I could passionately discuss evenings away with likeminded people if I was part of that world. It's just interesting how utterly impenetrable it looks to me at first glance. More so than, say, chess, e-sports, or figure skating, which I also no next to nothing about.
This is a good point. They do take longer to boot, which might be part of the reason there's a discount, but it hasn't been so significant that we avoid them because diversification is important when running on spot.
ask HN: How is psychology not bullshit?
I come from an applied mathematics background but by no means a researcher/academic.

Still every time I look at a clickbaity psychology article title, it baffles me how they arrive at their conclusions.

Also I'm very skeptical of their understanding of statistics or worse yet, I've heard that there's a lot of "p-hacking" to get the results they want.

It seems like such a bogus fields but they dress it up with scientific terminology and statistics.

Unironically, can someone tell me why they think it's bullshit if they do, and tell me why it's not bullshit if you don't it is.
> When you want the price of something to be lower, subsidising demand increases prices rather than lowering them.

Applying this to healthcare, does it hold? Socialised healthcare appears to be less expensive.

I might be missing your point though…

> Suppliers and owners will not simply accept lower prices, even if you really wish they did.

This isn’t always true. It probably devolves into a discussion on monopsony behaviour which become relevant at a certain point.

Rent control works fine for its purpose - keeping people in their houses.

If landlords are being abusive, we should update regulations to suitably punish them for that abuse.

If landlords are keeping rentals empty, we should add an onerous tax on empty housing
Which sides were the shills in that story? Was it the alt-right "thah! This is what ya get without the thin blue line" or the fixie riding tankies saying "everything is perfect, I've never even heard of crime here before, and the whole place smells like fresh clean ocean breeze!"
The problem here appears to be the landlords are being assholes.

When that happens, you don't give up trying to regulate - you regulate them further.

Clearly they need a LVT or tax on empty living space to make them play ball.

Rent controls are essentially the only thing that has ever worked for cheaper rent.
> In economics, induced demand – related to latent demand and generated demand – is the phenomenon whereby an increase in supply results in a decline in price and an increase in consumption. In other words, as a good or service becomes more readily available and mass produced, its price goes down and consumers are more likely to buy it, meaning that demand subsequently increases. This is consistent with the economic theory of supply and demand.

We can't just give people money?
The rumor in high school was that only smoking the seeds caused impotence. I wonder if there's any truth to that.

Meanwhile, we all "knew" that smoking out of crushed tin cans would probably give us Alzheimer's, but we were too stupid to care.
Further, these inequalities manifest as perverse incentives: women initiate non-marital breakups at the same rate as men, but initiate divorce over twice as often as men.
People have switched to Resolve due to it having a BETER workflow then FCP or Premier. Personally I jumped on the bandwagon due to Linux. The big difference maker for Resolve was when it became an editor. It was THE STANDARD for color correction for over a decade.
I know this is Seattle now but purely time-based: I visited SF for an hour last year and was victim of a smash and grab. Parked across the street across from a restaurant near the wharf with people sitting/eating outside so I thought it would be safe. I'm guessing partly because there were some plastic shopping bags in the backseat (with candy, which they didn't take) and because the rental car had out of state plates. When I returned the car at SF airport, there was a row of cars in front with the exact same window (rear driver's side) smashed. As I waited for paperwork/replacement, several other cars came in with the same window smashed. At least when I called the PD they told me to just file a report online (which I needed for insurance) and asked if they should send an officer - to which I said, "no, why would you send an officer now?". I don't remember the answer. Worse was trying to get a hold of someone at the rental car company... ugh what a disaster.
I learned all about blending modes and filters this past week figuring out how to split an image into its CMYK components using just HTML and CSS. It was not straightforward, but I did finally get it right.

https://deepf.art/cmyk.html

Two things of interest: I saw some weird off-by-1 errors between the expected color and what Firefox's inspector measured even with pretty simple filters like invert(). I'd like to dig into that more. And I had precision issues with how much grayscale() would scale the blue channel, especially since the color channels are 8 bit, which I improved by using luminance() instead.

The MDN and the CSS spec was a great resource for figuring out exactly what calculation each blend mode and filter was doing.
I am visiting forums for entertainment. Well I also get some really useful tech links on HN every once in a while. If the author of this insanely long list thinks that I have nothing to do with my life but study their creation and then use the "wisdom" gained to hunt for psyops they have to get a life. Well if it is their job I understand ;)

Yes there are all type of "agents" on forums. If they think that their posts are going to change my opinions I have a bridge to sell.
No, there's been significant inflation and employers are playing hard ball like we can absorb the cost. Its just crazy stupid.
Yeah, exactly. I was puzzled about the talk of Windows-only and hacked software. I soldered on a jumper wire (with a slide switch to easily revert back if needed) and used it as a barcode reader in FreeBSD.
This is fantastic, because it describes fairly typical forum activity as a sign of _soviet KGB super spy activity_. Now, those happen, but aren’t _that_ frequent. Meanwhile when you see those “who cares” posts, you’re just dealing with genuine bona fide terrible people.

So now this post triggered folks here to look at every time their post - or something they _personally_ believe important - sinks and think “oh, it’s the COINTELPRO” - meanwhile it’s just that nobody cares. Maybe they should, I don’t know, but they don’t.

On top of that, I bet it made a few of you think that police violence videos are Russian psyops. Just smuggled that under the radar, phrased it in a technically correct way.

Essentially I’m saying it’s like those “protect women against trafficking” videos aimed at wealthy middle-class white women - that both make them paranoid, and distract from real issues, all so that the poster can feel smart.
"Another study pointed out that the results of most studies regarding the association of sexual dysfunction and marijuana usage are inconclusive and contradictory."

From your link... not exactly a good example. So how about this: ED _is_ a known side effect of smoking *tobacco*, but that doesn't seem to discourage many people.
Or ya know, Austria for example, a country with a better standard of living, overall happiness, and life expectancy than the US
Personally that Brave Browser article a few days ago looked quite strange (to me, at least). A lot of top-level comments positive about the browser within a relatively short period of time after posting. Not a lot of commentary about the company itself and related controversies. That only happened after the post hit the front page.
ATG pushed Apple to the forefront of computer Video. They came out with Road Apple Video codec (Road Pizza) in 1991.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Advanced_Technology_Grou... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Video

Look up S3TC/DXTC texture compression, S3 copied Apple video codec verbatim and patented it for 3D graphics use. Somehow Apple missed that and didnt fight initial patent, result was losing couple iphone court cases 10 years later and purging S3TC from mobile.

Avid Media Composer was born and grew up on Mac hardware. Same goes for Adobe Premiere, all thanks to ATG work.

Thats the origin of the infamous "Microsoft saved Apple in the nineties" myth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5TdqfNE1QU In reality:

>David Boies, attorney for the DoJ, noted that John Warden, for Microsoft, had omitted to quote part of a handwritten note by Fred Anderson, Apple's CFO, in which Anderson wrote that "the [QuickTime] patent dispute was resolved with cross-licence and significant payment to Apple." The payment was $150 million.
