>she only needed a 5% deposit(so £7.5k)

LMAO, this is not normal anywhere else in Europe. Also, I bet she either has a lot of money saved up somewhere else, had her mortgage cosigned by someone else with a lot of income, etc. this is not normal at all.

I am not from Germany, but take Germany as an example: https://n26.com/en-eu/blog/cost-of-buying-a-house

"A good rule of thumb is to have at least 35% of the estimated cost. Germany: German residents can generally borrow up to 80% of the assessed property value, but non-residents usually get the short end of the stick. They have to put up 40–45% of the property value as down payment."

You lucked out, arguably.

>My point is that yes - it's a global problem, but I honestly don't think everyone everywhere needs to save up for 7 years just to get a deposit. Maybe if you live in London you do, but elsewhere? Meh. Basic 3 bed houses are not so crazy expensive in most places, at least here in UK.

I make 12k after taxes and before other expenses... what are you talking about. And I am lucky not to pay rent with a terrible commute because I live with my parents.

I don't think Patagonia is lying, why do you think this ?

They make very high quality clothing which lasts a long time, mostly out of recycled polyester, which is of course better than making more sources of microplastics ?

On the other hand, I purchased a "synchilla" top, it was absolutely ridiculous how much polyester fiber it shed, like absolutely crazy, I was vacuuming my house constantly. In the end it did stop, but it was ridiculously bad. I should've sent it back.

Not really. When there's something wrong at the local level it's obvious they can't investigate themselves. People from central authority show up to sort things out and see who's ass needs to get fired without paying attention to any local power structure.

The only chance for local police to get away with it to keep it from reaching the central at all.

It doesn't mean that central won't try to cover the ass of local if the reputation of the whole police is at stake.
> It's actually against free market.

Precisely. And that is a good thing.

Why do we like the free market? Because it has proven to be able to drive innovation, increase standard of living, and make life, in general, better.

But the free market also has problems, that need fixing. If these problems remain unfixed, they grow, and choke the things we like about the free market out of it.

The concentration of power and control in a few entities, and the subsequent effects these entities have on the rest of the market is one of these problems. And anti-trust exists precisely to reset this problem to a manageable state from time to time.

The free market is a great system. It's fair to say that it's currently the best system we know how to run the economic side of a society.

But it's also not a perfect system, and, like every imperfect system, it cannot be left running unchecked. Even the best server requires maintenance from time to time. If it isn't done, it stops working at some point.

You can play with semantics of course. But the fact is that most software development is not building new software but doing development on existing software. That has traditionally been called maintenance.

There's a clear difference between the early life of a software product where there is a lot of fast paced development to create the product, deadlines, etc. and the maintenance phase of a product where most of the team goes off and does new things and a smaller team remains to keep the thing going. It's a bit of a grey area where one stops and the other begins. And of course some popular products keep on evolving at the same pace because there's a large team working on them doing major new releases once in a while.

However, there's a lot of software out there that is still being tinkered with but that does not really change that much over time anymore. Most of that development is just keeping it going, doing some small changes as needed, adding features, fixing compatibility issues with new hardware/software, etc. This usually gets broken down into perfective, corrective, and adaptive maintenance. Software is never really done. If it's useful/valuable, people will keep on coming up with ideas on how to make it more useful.

What sets maintenance apart from regular development is that it is more reactive and unplanned. It involves less people and might not even be a full time job for the few people that are still able to work on the system, which usually requires having some history with the system.

I read without hearing the words. If I'm tired, however, sometimes I need to start reading out loud to keep concentrated.

Also, non phonetic writing systems will push you towards not hearing while reading. For example, when I read chinese there are plenty of characters (hanzi) whose pronunciation I don't know (was it hai? Pai?), but I remember the meaning just fine.

Even with English (I'm not a native speaker) sometimes I won't remember how to pronounce a certain word, but I'll read it just fine.

At least for me here in the UK the live-updated rain was very accurate, you could watch it come and go in pretty much real time combined with looking out the window.

I'm struggling to find anything like it now, it was incredibly useful since I go out a lot to do little jobs and if its a crappy weather day (pretty much every day this time of year) it was nice to check to see if I had enough time to do something or if I'd need to go out and cover some things up.

I've never used the app, only the website.
growth means constant investment. The day you stop growing, your investment is capped or much more constrained, and it's only a matter of time until your company is over.
Looks interesting, but need more details about set up and pricing. This is another approach that doesn't require fine tuning https://github.com/jerryjliu/gpt_index
I don’t understand your argument. Netflix, Blockbuster, Motorola and Nokia all pursued growth strategies, yet the latter three (at least) ultimately failed to maintain their lead in consumer facing markets. So how does that explain the need for perpetual growth? It doesn’t seem connected to your points.

And, in the case of Nokia specifically, maybe they would still be a significant player in the handset market if they had pursued profit by investing R&D into a smaller number of good handsets, rather than their growth strategy that, if memory serves, resulted in the release of one janky new handset every week.

It’s not like what Apple did was magic; it was mostly just hard work and vision. Motorola and Nokia lost their business by being unfocussed and stupid, not because they didn’t pursue growth.
It looks similar to politics.
A new candidate have to bring something on the table: new ideas, new faces, new horizon whereas if an in-place politician is interested in being re-elected, he probably wants to show how great he was and keep its base happy enough to have high retention.

Maybe you seek rent when you have non negligible costs to maintain past (think maintenance and tech debt)

This can be true too.

I had a SVP keep pushing for an innovative approach to X. I told my boss it must be in her development plan.

I'm not American, I'm European and somewhat left of centre at that, as you may have detected from my use of the word trainers. the parent was suggesting moving away from a system where those who are willing to pay most, get a good. What other options are there? Socialism? But to me a socialist state that starts controlling footwear is communist anyway.

What dogma are you proposing I have? I know capitalism has its problems, I know communism has its problems, as does socialism and all the other isms. If capitalism is good at anything though, it's good at making trainers available. If youre saying it's unsuitable for that, then it's time to find something else.

It's ok saying the current system is bad, but if you're proposing to get rid of it, you need a replacement and as Churchill may have said, free market capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the other economic systems.

So why don't you debate my position, rather than my assumed nationality, dogma and cultural baggage?

How to get messaging, positioning and storytelling right for your startup
The op asked about schematics, not boards.

It is not speculation at all, schematics for many many effects are available online. Manufacturers also freely admit to their pedals being clones of famous pedals. There is even a whole genre of pedals known as Klones because they are clones of a Klon. Have a look on Andertons YouTube and you will see them blindfold testing all the Klones, the Tubescreamer clones, the RAT clones etc. If you watch Josh Scott of JHS pedals he talks through how much they are 'exact same circuit' all of the time. Josh himself became famous due to a mod he made to the Bluesbreaker. Not as famous perhaps as Analogmans King of Tone (with a three year waiting list), which is a modification of a....Bluesbreaker. All the schematics are online. By the way you can buy dozens of King of Tone clones too, like the King of Blues, for 1/10th price.

When reviewing pedals it is common to say 'this is a modified x', or an 'x and y in the same box'

It is not even a secret that the analogue pedal market is selling the same pedals that were invented in the 60s-80's with minor tweaks for component availability. But of course they are, because what do most people want to sound like, of course it is their guitar hero from the 60s to 80s!!! I have a fuzz face for Hendrix, a big muff for Gilmour, and a Tubescreamer for SRV. All available today in exactly the schematic of the original, from multiple makers.

The process of writing an optimized compiler involves utilizing hundreds of algorithms and strategies, one of which is tail call optimization.

It seems that this particular optimization technique is frequently discussed and written about, leading me to wonder if it holds a unique level of importance among the other strategies.

Is my perception incorrect, or is there more to the significance of tail call optimization that I am unaware of?
Interesting! I've got a few questions:

It looks like it's currently in limited release at the moment - how would somebody go about playing with this?

Is it just the verification that's private, or also the transaction history? Is it private in the sense that not even the central bank can track it, even with a code change?

How do you expect this system to compare to cryptocurrencies that do liquid staking + inflation, where there's a set amount of inflation, allocated to everyone who plays nice in the network? Does this come down to differences in views on inflation?

It's fairly irrelevant to my point, which is that C structs aren't equivalent to Java classes in anyway.

Of course you can implement OO is C, I've done enough GObject in my life to know how horrible it is to use in practice.

How can we reconcile this with the relative death of small business:

"More people are working in big, bureaucratic organizations than ever before. Yet there’s compelling evidence that bureaucracy creates a significant drag on productivity and organizational resilience and innovation."

And yet small businesses have been dying and more and more economic activity is being taken over by large businesses. But these large businesses then waste $3 trillion on management? If that is true, what exactly is it that makes small business so inefficient that they cannot compete against an enemy who sabotages itself with a self-inflicted $3 trillion penalty?

> in order to implement properly efficient SIMD algorithms you need experts that are rare

Some truth to this, but many algorithms can be implemented once and then reused, like a standard library.

> many algorithms that work great with SIMD work even better as compute shader on your run of the mill cheap iGPU

Also agree to some extent, except that you'd have more concerns about availability, vendor lock-in, and performance portability.

> best example how irrelevant SIMD really is: How many Terabytes of UTF8 are you converting to UTF16 per day? probably zero.

First, how does one example of a SIMD-enabled algorithm show that SIMD itself is irrelevant?
Second, have you considered that some databases store UTF-16 and want to convert it for interoperability (or vice versa)? IBM apparently has dedicated instructions for this. Would they have been added if there was no demand?
> https://github.com/jerryjliu/gpt_index

Could you share anything (e.g. how many rows of data and tokens in each row) around how much it cost you to use GPT Index? It looks interesting, but it seems it'd be expensive.
Look through the questions. A lot of them are things that will already come up in the course of a relationship. The difference is that you're asking them upfront. There's nothing particularly special about them. The core point is just opening up and being vulnerable with the other person far earlier than you otherwise might and based on personal experience, I think it can work extremely well. I'm neurotic, so the relationships didn't end up going anywhere, but still.

What does YouTube stand to gain by doing something about it?

The current legal/regulatory environment means they are not liable for these scams so there's no benefit to them from proactively taking them down. Furthermore, the scammers, fake accounts and victims all contribute to "engagement" numbers.
It doesn't require almost any advanced compiler techniques, and you can implement it without constructing the playpen typical of compilers (doing optimization on an AST directly is quite hard, tail calls are easy)

On the other hand why would this be necessary here?

Leaving aside the basic definitional stuff (the difference between private banks and central banks is normally considered to be state authority), why does anybody want to accept the money from your "central bank" as payment?

With real central banks the answer is "because creditors in a particular state are legally required to accept it as payment for debt, and everyone else in that state needs it to pay taxes which are owed whether there's money in their account or not". With yours, it's the opposite: if I accept your coins as payment you tax that payment for my work/goods out of my account and if I don't, you give coins to me for nothing. (And I can still earn in other currencies without owing your "tax", just as I always have done)

That’s an issue with enforcement, not the legislation itself. There’s no way to write legislation that prevents its abuse through selective enforcement. You have to address the abuse itself via strong government accountability.

Not having anti-trust legislation isn’t going to increase competition. Say you need more competition, also isn’t going to increase competition. Real markets naturally tend towards monopolies, only governments putting a thumb-on-the-scales to prevent monopolies keeps competition alive long term. Something the US seems to have forgotten in the past couple of decades.
