Zenni is a good choice _if you know your PD_ (pupillary distance) - the distance from nose to center of pupil. 1 mm off will turn your glasses into headache machines.
And the phone apps that purport to measure this are universally bad. Get it professionally done at a place that will give you the value. Costco will do so.

If you don't want to purchase online Costco is decent price - $180ish for the progressives lenses I just purchased vs $400+ from LensCrafters.
Downside of Costco is a limited selection of frames, but worth a look.
Also heard good things about Warby Parker but have not purchased lenses from them.

Oh, Zenni's progressive lenses have a much narrower distance vision section in the lens than Costco's. So I get progressive glasses at Costco then single reading and computer glasses (for < $40 each) at Zenni.

Good point. That is true for all Stablecoins. The question is, do they have the liquidity?

Right now it is very very profitable for them. They can earn interest rates for free, without a high risk.
It seems that Mick doesn't like getting lawyers involved, potentially to his detriment.
My friend has purchased several pairs from Zenni but the frames kept cracking around the lens even though she only wears them for a couple of hours each day. They'd send her a new frame and it would do the same after a month or two. She didnt really like the metal frames they offered so kept choosing plastic frames. Finally she got fed up with Zenni and purchased slightly more expensive glasses from Warby Parker and has had zero issues since. It definitely feels like a "you get what you paid for" type of story here. Zenni is much cheaper than buying frames from Luxottica but there's definitely some happy medium where you aren't overpaying for glasses but still buying something of comparable quality to the overpriced brands. She used to get Ray-Ban frames while on her parent's insurance but when she got her own, she could get a free years supply of contacts or Luxottica-priced pair of glasses. So now she gets her big supply of contacts from a retailer using insurance and buys a new pair of Warby Parker glasses using HSA money.
I know but it certainly was one of the most prominent names when I was googling for best hackers ( :-) ) back in 2005.

Still, I prefer having someone like Kevin in mind when saying the word instead of any other desperate "growth hacker" that is trying to mislead VCs with their trite ideas that will forever change tech the way we know it.
Maybe that was Option A, while Option B was "spend a couple billion dollars fixing the mess these kids made while still seeing 30% of our Crypto assets disappear ...". They chose A.

They're also now the only big player standing in the game, they're having fun already.
This is also an underlying theme in fight club, since the narrator is a recall risk assessment analyst.
I thought normally CEOs have to plan pretty far ahead to dump stocks so there's no suspicion of insider trading. When he first unloaded to buy Twitter a lot of people were speculating it was an excuse to unload TSLA ahead of bad news like finally facing consequences for FSD.

You'd think if CEOs/founders are careful about announcing sales ahead of time, selling suddenly and after previously tweeting he was done selling would have consequences. In the end I think regulators in automobile and financial industries rely a lot on self regulation and don't know what to do when someone doesn't even go through the motions
> This indicates that the market expects inflation and interest rates to drop in the future.

It indicates that the market thinks the Fed will be effective. It's also (generally) indicative that a recession is on the horizon. We're starting to see the layoffs in certain sectors (tech especially). Unemployment rising tends to cause more mortgage defaults which will tend to lower home prices.

> As long as this is true, prices for houses will not go down as everyone assumes that a refi will be possible in 1-2 years.

A lot of potential buyers don't qualify at current (and rising) rates. They've been taken out of the market entirely. Wells Fargo saying that applications for new mortgages are down 90%. Assuming that's happening industrywide (no reason to doubt that) it's going to start effecting prices - and already is in some markets.
That's fair, and what little I've come across seems to agree.
Probably some truth to all you said. I spend way more money on my hobbies.

For this creator, his hobby is well into the realm of "could productize some component", even if just creating derivatives of this for some commercial purpose. I'd much rather spend time on that than the optimization part. My thought is HN has skewed more technical than entrepreneur over the years and the folks who are into the optimizations are more vocal in the thread. Could also just be the cohort of HN that was attracted to this article. "Send push notifications to your phone" sounds pretty technical. Or, the tech recession is changing mood about money and I'm not in tech.
Is there a real source for this claim? It gets parroted a lot on HN and elsewhere, but I've also heard it's greatly exagerated. I don't think Apple engineers get to read the licences, and even if they did, how do we know they understood it corretly and that it got repeated correctlty? I've never seen a valid source for this claim.
Yes, that's part of my criticism for gini.
It was normal to use Photoshop and have the entire system crash several times a day. The G4's along with the iMac had terrible overheating issues which also caused constant crashes in warmer climates. Running these machines in a room without aircon in the Australian summer was a no go.
> $/m gets a lot cheaper with longer fiber cables. They're more flexible too

Pretty much. The cost of the optics amortizes at a certain length. You also don't have to worry about breaking something super expensive if you accidentally damage the fiber (for shorter runs).

Consider some of the DAC cables for the new 800 GbE standard cost $1300 for a 2 meter cable.
I knew Marty's open letter was bullshit back then when I first read it since the game was originally set to release in 2019, and here he was talking about not having Mick under contract for the OST in January 2020. It was also suspicious that he said that they didn't have the source material for the game music after that contract has ended. That would be such a tremendous oversight, the studio not owning all the material for their game.

It all makes sense after reading Mick's statement. Chad was tasked with the OST for the original release date back in August 2019, and he was supposed to use the game music, including the parts that ended up being rejected for the game. This is why Mick was ignored for months when asking about the OST. They only went back to him in March 2020 when it was apparent that the studio is not up to the task.
Like another commented, JIT compilers do this today.

The thing that makes this mostly theoretical is that the underlying assumption is only true when you neglect that an AOT has zero run-time cost while a JIT compiler has to execute the code it's optimizing and the code to decide if it's worth optimizing and generate new code.

So JIT compiler optimizations are a bit different than AOT optimizations since they have to both generate faster/smaller code and the execute code that performs the optimization. The problem is that most optimizations beyond peephole are quite expensive.

There's another thing that AOT compilers don't need to deal with, which is being wrong.Production JITs have to implement dynamic de-optimization in the case that an optimization was built on a bad assumption.

That's why JITs are only faster in theory (today), since there are performance pitfalls in the JIT itself.
At the heart of crypto is the desire for decentralized banking infrastructure and currency, which has non-zero cost to operate and thus requires some degree of compensation for operating the network or protocol.

Just like in the equities market, speculation and gambling dominates market values of these things to varying degrees (to a comical extent in growth tech recently, for example).
I think the parent comment is talking about your general 5-year vesting schedule. In other words, for each of the past 4 years you worked, you will have some unvested stock today.
Too often those who build the schedule are entirely divorced from reality, yet also insulated from the effects their schedule has.
TrustCor Systems is a root certificate authority. But its physical address is a UPS Store in Toronto. It is an offshore company and is trusted by the major web browsers and other tech companies. It also has connections to contractors for U.S. intelligence agencies and law enforcement, according to security researchers, documents and interviews.
Do you think they would be blamed if they had actually come up with a solution?

The “message” was just stating a problem, not offering a solution. That’s the point.

They apparently thought they role was simply to uncover the problem, not figure out a way to solve it, despite being given the authority to do so. In general, people who just point to problems aren’t very well received in either business or personal life.
Apple has an architecture license (otherwise they could not design their own cores, which they’ve been doing for close to a decade), and already had the ability to take liberties beyond what the average architecture licensee can, owing to being one of ARM’s founders.
I concur this is sad to read but, after playing and loving Disco Elysium, can't avoid to smile at the meta. Corruption, you know.
This is complete BS. I run hundreds of a/b tests each quarter and I specifically refuse to run the types of experiments you allude to. My a/b testing is all about helping users achieve the things (the outcomes) that they want to achieve by using our product in the first place. If we can help them do that, with more ease, then we are creating a better experience.

Perhaps you should just agree that, "not all a/b testing is the same".
Do they still use React Native Web? Our product went off a cliff when it got introduced and every component had to be refactored to be identical on both web and native mobile. Twitter using it was one of the selling points that allowed it to slip in. My memories of it are not fond.
The lateral move was with Macs, not iPhones, which were always ARM. And the 2020 M1 Mac mini had two memory configurations, 8GB or 16GB. Obviously the product would not appeal to users that require 64GB of memory, yet most M1 users report the limited RAM doesn't affect performance. The only sacrifice with switching from Intel that I can think of is no longer being able to run x86 VMs at full speed. It's not like there are sweeping sacrifices everywhere, but instead a nitpick or two.
Agreed. A/B testing helps you meet a desired goal. The desired goal is where ethical questions come in.

For example, I have used A/B testing to see find ways to help users get a task done with fewer clicks, saving them time.

Absolutely. Also, the leaked partial balance sheet is not something that happens randomly. Binance is making bank with the volatility right now and becomes the defacto crypto exchange. Most crypto enthousiast seem to cheer CZ on as if he is a god. This has been my queue to get out of this space.

Stress causes brain damage, antidepressants counteract this brain damage.
AOT compilers support this through a technique called function multi-versioning. It's not free and only goes so far, but it isn't reserved to JITs.

The classical reason to use FMV is for SIMD optimizations, fwiw

It is definitely price-fixing. But vertical price-fixing (which is what occurs when a manufacturer tries to control the price of its product at retail) is not a per se violation of US anti-trust law.

The social contract in America is different. Many/Most people do not regard other citizens as their brethren who deserve better lives. They are adversaries and competitors. Everyone starts (ideally) with a blank slate and makes their lives what they will with minimal guidance or force by the state. If someone makes bad decisions that lead to criminality, they need to be eliminated from the public.

So the thinking goes.

Reforming the justice process depends on the will of the electorate. Since the above sentiment is so core to the American culture and values, it's not likely to change much.
People have tried doing this, but not typically at the instruction level. Two ways to go about this that I’m aware of are trying to use machine learning to derive high-level semantics about code, then lowering it to the new architecture.
It's a bit heavy handed, but I believe the rules are more like best practices.

If you're fixing typos in new code I see no reason to have the history of introducing the typo and then fixing it. If you've come across a typo in a file you're editing then by all means make that typo fix in its own commit.

It gets worse when you start fixing typos in files unrelated to your fix. One of those small typo fixes could introduce a bug and multiple commits makes it easier to track down. Blame would pinpoint it exactly - you'll see Bob's "Fix a typo" commit instead of being buried in Bob's "Add trucks to the game" commit. That saves you from having to go look at the PR or diff and to figure out why Bob renamed cares to cars.

Redfin lays off 13% of workforce
Bigger concern is Facebook actively blocking stories the government doesn’t like.
I used to be an active moderator of a fairly popular community. At one point, we were requested by a US TLA[0] to remove a post that they believed contained information that should not have been made public. We complied, obviously.

We then got numerous people complaining that we, a bunch of unpaid moderators, didn't try to fight back. I recall one person saying we were "too chicken" to stand up for ourselves against a major US government agency.

If we had stood up for ourselves, the agency would have gone straight to reddit and filed a DMCA (as would be entirely within their right to do in that case), and reddit, inc. would instantly have removed the content (as hosting providers nearly always do, even if there's no grounds for a DMCA takedown[1].) Why are unpaid moderators held to a higher standard than the website itself?

[0]: "three-letter agency"

[1]: yes, this is wrong, but it's how it usually goes when false DMCAs are filed.

You could can 'inject' it via writing a function never_fails, that tests the condition, and branches to unreachable if it fails, then returns the same condition. That should let the compiler understand that the condition is always true.

> a few thousands in UNEXPECTED costs, is huge.

It seems like the problem is expecting a fixed infrastructure budget while trying to create ever larger customer engagement. Is it just modern companies that don't realize you can't count your profits until you've got your AWS invoices for that month?

It's a fixed _overhead_ issue, not a fixed _budget_ issue.

Asset and income denominated in some currency which is also an imaginary concept that we decided to all agree on was worth something. Not much different if you ask me
I'll play devil's advocate for a second since I've got experience in this space.

My biggest issue with most fuzzing tools has always been the high rate of false positives. When I worked at Uber, we intentionally never exposed these tools to dev teams because it was too "noisy" to bother with. Most of the alerts were false positives 90%+ of the time and we eventually ignored them (even though were the security team).

How do you avoid that alert fatigue trap? Do you have a plan to ensure a high signal-to-noise ratio?

I'm not advocating public execution of billionaires here.

I'm talking about getting rid of companies like RealPage ( https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-r... ) and other companies that either collude information asymmetry or otherwise buy up the market and wait to artificially drive prices higher..

I'm talking about restrictions of companies buying residential dwellings (not corporate dwellings, but im sure that could be gamed).

I'm talking about rent control. I'm aware that's a top-down command approach. Maybe use it as a cap per sqft?

I'm talking about relaxing or eliminating zoning restrictions. Much of them were put in place as a racist plan during the 40's-60's.

I'm talking about having banks *require* including on a mortgage application if you've paid rent for X years at Y rate, that you qualify for a mortgage of the similar terms.

I'm talking about having the mortgage rate be different (LOW) for your primary residence.

I'm talking about converting apartment complexes into a benefit corps run by the people who live there. Again, having people live in dwellings where they reasonably know that they are safe is inherently a great thing, and builds a real community. Problems that arise can be handled by the people who live there, like if a recession hits and 1/10 lose their jobs. (Yes, this is more radical.)

Every one of these changes would enable more people to have their own place to live, and live better how they want to live. Does it solve every problem? Of course not. It's steps to do this. And what I see here in my area, we're going the very wrong way. More and more are going homeless or vanlife every week. And that piece of stability disappears. And it's hard to reestablish once you're in that direction.

It's not just an individual issue - at a certain number, it turns into a societal issue that needs a society-wide solution.
@dang, this is serious, this needs to be front and center
What you're describing is our national problem. People are more aligned with either extreme than they used to be (likely due to the internet exposing people to echo chambers), and are less tolerant of "giving the enemy a win" by collaborating to do SOMETHING. So stasis and hate are the outcome.

Example: I agree with Republicans on some things, like prosecuting thieves which my local (Seattle) Democrats don't care about. But if I were to publicly state my interest in anything right-aligned, my peers would round me all the way up and think I hate women or something.
I just can't really believe this at all, unless these companies entirely crumble. It's just not feasible for the majority of folks to live comfortably in the Bay Area with a family at less than $200k TC.

I make ~$300k/yr and could probably swing $200k/yr if I didn't save anything (I save ~$100k/yr currently). I just can't imagine it being reasonable with housing + other costs.

1. Housing costs are elevated here more than anywhere else in the world.
2. Cost of goods is drastically higher here than other parts. The (roughly) same amount of groceries from a local Sprouts here (we spend ~$100/wk), is almost always $30 less everytime we go back home for some durations of time to be with family.
3. Cost of services like daycare or anything else necesary to let the work happen take note and charge enormously.

As it stands, between housing + utilities, our spend is about $8000/mo (factoring in the odd things as well like car repairs over time). To accomodate that, I'd need $100k/yr after-tax, and that assumes that nothing drastic ever happens, and factors in no savings at all.

We could downsize and save $10k/yr, but that's not really making a substantial dent long-term.

$200k realistically feels like a minimum to keep any kind of young families in the area. I could definitely do with less salary if I could move, but companies are very wishy-washy about remote work.

Until that is solved, or the Bay Area calms down, these salaries aren't going anywhere. But if remote work is embraced even more, than returning to say $150k is completely reasonable.
On top of that, lots of companies hiring remotely.
Do you remember where to find those documentaries?

For what claim? They they co-founded ARM? That’s historical record. That they extended the ISA? That’s literally observed from decompilations. That they can do so? They’ve been doing it for at least 2 years and ARM has yet to sue.

What is “a valid source”? The linked comment is from Hector Martin, the founder and lead of Asahi, who worked on and assisted with reversing various facets of Apple silicon, including the capabilities and extensions of the ISA.
"Along with the new, more efficient steam generators..."

How much more efficient?

Side note: why isn't super-critical CO2 (ScCO2) turbine technology in use on commercial-grade projects? I realize nukes don't make enough head for ScCO2 but coal and natgas plants do, and efficiencies in converting thermal energy to electric are around 45% as opposed to 33% for the best steam turbines.
