I reject 'complete scam', though that example is obviously egregious.

My 50Mbps plan should be capped (1280GB in my case.) I don't know what the utilization factors are, but that would be a lot of traffic on what is not a high powered plan, and I appreciate the price I get. Even when I try to go for the cap, I've never even made it to 400GB (because I don't know how to use that much traffic, mostly.)

As with almost all these broadband provider problems, it's the barriers to new entrants that prevent sensible equilibrium.
> feedback loop where women get more selective as men get more desperate.

> So how do we end up with hookups anyway in spite of no one wanting it?

I think this may be one aspect of the answer. If you're dying of thirst then you'll drink dirty water. But after you've hydrated yourself you think more about how dirty the water is. So you go on searching for clean water. Find yourself dehydrated again, and repeat. I don't think this is a male or female problem, but that we are sexual beings by nature. Even women have post-nut clarity. I'd say that there is even a post validation clarity too. I know when men go through sprints where they get no matches they just start matching with everyone to just get some sort of validation.[0]

But I think there are other issues too. This is definitely a complicated situation and I think the problems with the apps is that they are over simplifying the criteria that people match on. And let's be real here, there's not much incentive pressures to get these apps to actually match people. Dating businesses are weird because the end goal is to get rid of your user. If you're trying to maximize profits you aren't trying to maximize compatibility.

> Another issue I have experienced is that you realize too late that you aren't compatible. It's a lot of effort to get close to people and you end up building up all this attraction in the process. It's by design. Women won't talk to you, period, unless you build attraction. But then you start to learn about each other and realize ok wow this person is completely different and we have very different values.

Something from my perspective, that I don't think is by any means unique to me, is that I notice that someone becomes more physically attractive the more I mentally jive with them. I think this is what gimmicky shows that hide the potential matches exploit. But I'm not sure that's useful either. This really isn't a solution I can really see technology fixing. Physical attraction is definitely the bait in relationship forming but it isn't what reels people in (unless hookup or vanity seeking, which is a valid approach, just not mine). I'm sure I've missed potential matches that would have become exceedingly beautiful to me because the selection criteria is highly dependent on photos. But I don't think things are any better on OkCupid (tried years ago) where you can write a lot about yourself. There too are different selective pressures here because of match rates and this plays a big role in strategies. But I don't think we talk enough about our differing experiences.

[0] To further elaborate on this I've even noticed that when I delete and reinstall the app that the variance of the number of matches I get is extremely high. One reset can get me multiple matches a week for over a month. Another reset can get me zero matches for an entire month. There's a lot of variables at play here, but this is mentally taxing playing with this black box, and that's more what I'm trying to get with all this. Because maybe if we understand what is mentally taxing to each of us we can build better connections (empathy definitely plays an important role in match making)

I agree with you. Skill helps you appreciate what is good taste.

Both come with experience and a willingness to learn.

I'm not keen on the idea of taste as simply some innate quality, rather than something learned / taught. Thinking of it as some X factor makes it easier to write off people who just disagree or lack experience.

That said, I've totally seen code with poor taste and I've written it myself, so I believe in the underlying concept.

In my country we have a lowered VAT under certain circumstances. We had a new government tell us they were "reducing the VAT discount to half", just to avoid the word "raise", since they had promised that no taxes would be raised.

I have thought about what Elon's next steps for twitter are.

Step 1 is ongoing. Eject all the political activists. Cant right the ship when they are actively bucketing water into the boat. From the current reports, looks like this very much matches up with reality.

Step 2 define what will be allowed and disallowed. Be transparent with what the rules really are. Fix the content moderation rules.

Step 3 start the process of unbanning political prisoners. Probably starting with babylon bee.

Step 4 deal with the fallout and consequences of these changes.

Twitter is probably not far from major improvements.
The vast majority of people probably pay much more per GB than that. My family's traffic averages maybe 200GB per month.

> Not sure about the math here, but it is surely cheaper to build a bigger tank with crappy sand than a smaller one with more expensive clay.

It's also interesting that the sand is heated with energy generated from wind turbines and solar panels, which means that as long as enough energy is being thrown into the thermal capacitor, it will heat up with little cost. From this point onward, it's an economics problem. Either money is thrown at the efficiency of these heating capacitors, which brings at most small gains, or money is thrown in building additional storage capacity for cheap along with increasing how much energy is fed into the system. Would it be more cost effective in replacing sand with more efficient materials, or spend the money in, say, another cheap thermal energy source?

You get downvoted, but I share your observation (been programming for ~20 years). Sad to see HN deciding to downvote a perfectly valid opinion instead of engaging with it.

It absolutely makes a difference if the manager knows the domain in which he works. The fact that there is a lot of inept managers that started as programmers does not really discredit that.
I can suggest an idea, considering that the “AI program” is the model, not the training algorithm.

A program gets written by an entity (usually a person) and is executed to generate the desired output according to a deterministic mathematical function it expresses.
A training algorithm is a program that gets written to train a model (the model being the “AI Program”) when presented to some training data inputs, to implement a function that is not the training algorithm function itself, but another one, generalising over a problem domain beyond just the original examples fed to the training algorithm.

The output model is not the training algorithm or the training data (or an encoding of it) and exists as its own artefact, independent of both.

There was a time when memory was conventionally expensive, memory allocation of large blocks was slow, and small blocks was much faster (malloc would find a small block faster than a large one on a highly fragmented heap).

Before having gigantic caches that would engulf nearly any sized contiguous list, linked lists were sort of vogue, frugal, and thought of as being fairly performant.

>A $10 daily opportunity cost would never deplete your account

Well that's assuming you have no expenses. In your example the difference between realizing the opportunity cost or not is the difference between 10 days of runway and paying the bills in perpetuity.

Bills pile up no matter what, so there's only a limited amount of opportunity cost you can afford to eat.

In the Rust ecosystem philosophy, linked lists are the kind of thing you want to write once, very carefully, then re-use a lot. That's exactly the kind of code where unsafe can be reasonable. It's not like it would actually be safer in any other language that didn't have an explicit unsafe keyword. More aesthetically pleasing, perhaps, but not safer.

You're acting like it's some epic burn on Rust that there's some ugly code in its stdlib. It's not. Stdlibs are like that. Furthermore, as others have pointed out, linked lists in particular are a pathological case for Rust, meaning you're pointing and snickering at a special case of a special case. Most people never have to write or look at that kind of code.

> I would be upset if they were adding this shit to Biden's personal account

I'm not sure if it's codified anywhere, but I don't think a sitting US President is afforded the luxury of a personal life while in office, outside of personal non-political relationships. Otherwise, the POTUS would just pick and choose when they were acting as a President and when they weren't as a legal loophole.

So, any public communication, wether on an official or personal account, would be considered an act of the POTUS while they're in office, no? If so, then I don't know why you'd treat it any differently than an official WH account, especially if the personal account is being used to discuss current political events relating to their role as POTUS.
Interestingly they don't seem to translate their name in their English material, they just continue using the German name.

You’re reinforcing my point?

At every step, it’s a filtering function.

Of the hundreds who were there at the beginning, who has kept up and continued to grow, without screwing it up?

Who learned the new skills, who figured out the limiting factors and discarded them, vs who didn’t?

Personally, my ratio at the time I left for personal reasons was around 1 in 600ish, depending on how you counted.

I’ve known others that were higher, and a few that were lower.

It’s always less risky for the company to keep someone who continues to work, rather than roll the dice on an unknown quantity, of course, but the filtering mechanism is still harsh, and most don’t pass it.

Anyone who isn’t effective is a drag on progress, and unless someone has too large of an ownership stake to push out, it’s rare those with the larger stakes will tolerate expensive old friends for long.

"Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property."

Says nothing about "intellectual property".

Article 23:

"Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection."

If what the source said seems to contradict other evidence, that's a different matter.

Is that true? Metal chopsticks take much more energy to produce and ship than wooden ones, and need to be cleaned with soap, water, and energy after every use, compared to disposable wooden ones which could theoretically just be thrown in a hole on your garden.
