> The most important ingredient to the success of a movie is the plot.

Provably false by all the bad sequels which nonetheless made more money than the original¹. If plot were that crucial, movies would consist of a person sitting down reading a book, à la The Invention of Lying². Money matters to commercial success of a film above anything else.

Yes, fix legal immigration:

https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/ann...

The current legal immigration levels are way too low, hence people breaking the law trying to establish roots in the country (or fleeing persecution elsewhere). We used to call people foreign-born instead of illegal, and not care about their immigration status at all. Oh, wait - that's when the Europeans were immigrating: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/ann...

If many many people are breaking a law (i.e. jaywalking), one should consider whether the law is actually reasonable in the first place.

My fear is that the driver behind this is widespread WFH due to COVID-19.

Assessing "worker productivity" is hard for all but the most simple jobs, but the desire to do so, I reckon, is buried deep within each mind of the pointy-haired.

The unfortunate reality of the situation is that so-called "bullshit jobs" form the basis for the only system approximating UBI in the US, so movement in this space will further erode what remains of the American middle class…

Disney+ is also very disappointing on that back catalog. There are Disney cartoons that I watched as a kid and would love to show to my kids. I can find them on YouTube, apparently badly copied from VHS tapes. I can't find them on Disney+, or only find a "modern" remake that's outright cringy :/
We are looking at important MA breaches, an inverse H&S on the S&P (maybe), and potential/ongoing melt-up scenario in markets right now.

You are right to wonder how things will go, because everybody's wondering. You may indeed miss out on big moves if you wait. But also maybe things will stall out and take forever to move up again.

I'd go to localized specifics in your scenario. I'd look for comparative value in a specific home purchase, compare to averages or moving averages of prices _in your area_ and then decide what's a good value from opportunity to opportunity.

Identify your buy-in range, make some offers, see how things go. But I'd keep it very specific and buy something you like at what seems like a good price, all things considered.

I'd stay away from trying to call macro trends because there's not much traction there right now. It could help to look at historical price action in your city though.
Fun fact, our economy is decentralization and it's done more for society than anything else has.

I partially agree. People do want decentralization but don't want the responsibility of maintaining and moderating those systems. And in the end they, the passive consumers, end up with the same situation they were in when the systems they consumed were centralized.

Decentralization is just the tech equivalent of HOAs.
The amount of people who cannot keep track of their money with a simple Excel sheet is astonishing. Heck, scratch that, people don't even keep track of their money with a calculator or even pen and paper.

And yet, keeping an eye on your money and seeing where it flows is an incredible tool to adjust your spending and maybe save up where it matters and afford to step up your game.

I just don’t see what describability, or as jiggawatts calls it, naming, has to do with AC. AC is built upon an indexed set[1].
That way you can just reference the index. It seems extremely contrived to me to argue that being finitely nameable has any bearing on underlying mathematical principle, nothing about any form of infinity is relatable to the physical confines of this universe, of which language is a member, but the concept of infinite is very useful.

Too bad I can't pick up any silphium or liquamen at the grocery store. Silphium is thought to be extinct and the exact taste and method for producing liquamen is still debated -- though we know it was some sort of fish sauce.
This is sort of a hollow claim though, to me.

It’s like saying “Less sugar is over hyped. People think they want less sugar, but they really don’t.”

Both statements are actually true. My body craves sugar. It’s in my biology. It would eat itself to death if I let it. But the larger system that is me does want less sugar. And to live in a world, where gods producers didn’t operate under the inevitable “if you add sugar they’ll eat more of it.”

If you're a lawnmower manufacturer and Wal-Mart comes to you and says they want to make you their main supplier of lawnmowers and they need X units per year (which will double your sales) that sounds like a great deal which will really grow your business - right?

But once you've built a second factory to deal with all this extra sales volume and hired a bunch of extra workers, if Wal-Mart decide that $250-retail-price lawnmower is going to cost them $20 less next year you can't walk away, because you've got to pay the loans you took out to build this new factory.

All of these companies laying people off are claiming that they "over hired" or "over extended" themselves during the pandemic and now they need to tighten their belts.

Who made the decision to hire more workers than the company needed? Leadership. Who made the decisions to put the company in a position where it would need to lay people off? Leadership.

Who bears the consequences of those decisions? It's not the people who made them.

It's not like the workers forced the companies to hire them.

This is the problem I have with these layoffs. The leadership who made the strategic decisions that put the company in a position to need to lay people off should face significant economic consequences before anyone else. But that is not happening. That never happens.

And this also is where I push back on people who say that investors are the ones taking the risk (and should therefor reap the rewards of business). It's the workers who take a greater risk - because they have less information, less power, and less of a buffer if something goes wrong.
> Stripe negotiates fees with leverage.

Same with Amazon's leverage for vendor negotiation. They will go for stock warrants if it's a big enough deal and they have the right leverage. More upside that way and it creates a competitive moat.

No idea if that's the case here though.
Thanks for sharing this. Paints a clear picture of how deluded the technocrat class is.
I've seen some of this as well, though through my own anecdotal experience people in my life I've seen struggle with drugs do or did so because:

1. Ongoing health issues they can't afford to resolve. Chronic pain. Mental health issues. Sleep disorders.

or

2. Inability to cope with high levels of stress due to financial insecurity, bad relationships, or loneliness.

I think the cultural attitudes you describe may have some relation to other problems. Most people I've encountered seek escapism when their life experience is poor and they're unable to change their circumstances or unaware of ways to change their circumstances.
If you're going to spent $100 million on a movie, why settle for a boring plot and pedestrian dialog?

This has nothing to do with schools, or gender conformity, or obscenity, or teacher shortages.

This is a political stunt, a troll post. It's purposely vague and ill-defined to create a vacuum upon which people with strong opinions can file in from the extremes ("don't say gay", "you're supporting pornography", "you're a groomer", "you're a fascist".)

But what it mostly is is a classic culture war distraction from the real underlying structural issues with America today: economic and social inequality, the weaponization of politics, and the simply mindboggling amount of graft and corporate interference into our legal and political systems.

As a divisive tactic that limits people's attention to much more pressing matters, it's cheap at twice the price.

Absolutely! I also didn’t quite see it when I moved around earlier in my career - but many of the more tenured folks simply know how to work efficiently in the organization.

They tend not to pick up meaningless fights, or invest time in work that the org doesn’t care about, when their are debates - they can usually settle them.

In hindsight I spent too much time early in my career on work no one cared about. I spend less time on that stuff now and have better wlb and feedback to boot.
I don't know about Donald Duck cartoons in particular, but I think a lot of those old cartoons are difficult to find because they contain content that the corporation fears might offend somebody. Racist (or arguably so) ethnic caricatures, extreme cartoon violence, that sort of thing.

For instance, the original version of Disney's The Three Little Pigs has the wolf disguising himself as a stereotypical Jewish merchant.

Sorry if this is a dumb question -- but what would be the motive for a sitting justice to leak a draft?

To test what celebrations or outrage would happen in the streets, maybe?

If they are that concerned with public opinion -- which they shouldn't be, but say they are -- I would think that would incentivize even stronger efforts to maintain confidentiality and discretion.

(Maybe you didn't suggest that it was intentional, but an accident. Even then I might wonder why someone would let their guard down on this case. Maybe there was so much more work done on one particular case, people get physically tired, etc.)
> The real issue here that people don't seem to want to face is the WHY. Why do so many people want to check out of life completely by abusing medicine?

I don't do powders, opioids, etc but I do have some friends within tech and the festival scene that do. My observation is that most people that die from fentanyl don't know they're taking it. They think they're doing cocaine, ketamine, heroin, or some other substance. Fentanyl presence is usually a case of cross contamination when the particular substance is being cut at each hierarchial level of the drug food chain. That's not to say that there isn't some small subset of dealers who don't purposefully drop in some fentanyl, but largely that'd be a stupid decision. The users life expectancy shrinks and their risks skyrocket when they come in contact with fentanyl, this is known.

If you want to stop the deaths, then you have to allow drug distribution that comes from clean rooms. At present, everyone should be using test kits, but fentanyl in particular is hard to test for because a single grain hiding in a mound can get and overdose a user.

If you want people to stop using drugs, well, I have less to say. The history of humanity is using intoxicants whether it be for recreation, psychological well-being, or medical necessity. We've only recently in the history of humanity gone on moral crusades to villainize it.

Chemically addictive substances are a little more challenging. Things like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine aren't drugs you can benefit from, but people still do them. Largely, it's because they got hooked on pain killers or some other "numbing" medication. Better availability to harm reduction resources, therapy, social safety nets, etc would improve metrics across the board in the chemically addictive substances category.
> All of this generates data that needs to be written to our databases. Sometimes our systems max out, and just as when someone exercises too hard and has to stop and catch their breath, our servers also become exhausted and need to recover.

Is this a tortured analogy, or are their servers actually crashing under load?
Ask HN: Are Desktop Applications Microservices?

So that's a guy claiming he and another person figured out that the derivation of some Proto-Germanic words came from a semitic language. No published paper, just conjecture. He claims that there are a number of loanwords in Proto-Germanic that came from semitic. The word "loanword" is a link to what you would expect to lead to some evidence for it. Instead, it leads to a website listing a number of different loanwords from various languages. The closest thing on that list is Yiddish and it clearly states they mostly entered the language in the 20th century.

Yours in that from it follows, that there's still quite a bit of room to get ahead of OpenAI for smaller players.

You make good points. It would be interesting to compare the rate of fentanyl fatalities inside China to countries across the ocean where you have that extra layer of challenges getting the illegal precursor chemicals over oceans, across borders etc.

What is astonishing to me is the almost seeming complete apathy on this problem within the US. An average of 300 deaths a day you would have thought would be elevated to the highest level. I mean, for example, why would you allow a country that is facilitating this kind of carnage to run their social media businesses within your borders?
Disney+ doesn't just get all its content "for free" even though Disney owns it all.

A company as big as Disney has to be able to look at its different subsidiaries and analyse how they're performing individually. So maybe Walt Disney Animation Studio spends money making movies and earns money selling the rights to those movies, and so Disney+ gets exclusive access to streaming rights, but it still has to pay for them.

I think Google could improve street view with these points:

- allow the user to drag little pawn to a different point, while in street view

- when the user asks for directions, allow the user to follow the path of the route in street view (let the user click "next" to move to the next important intersection, but still maintain streetview controls)

- when the user asks for directions, show an overlay on the streetview with an arrow pointing into the direction where you're going
The UltraSparc T1 shared the one FPU and the one logical L2 between all 32 threads/8 cores. L2 is very common to share between cores, the world has more or less converged on a shared L2 per core complex, so 4 to 8 cores. And you still see vector units shared between cores where it makes sense too, for instance Apple's AMX unit is shared between all of it's cores.

It's really only the frontend and it's data path to L1 that's a good argument here, but that's not actually listed in the complaint.

And even then, I can see where AMD was going. The main point of SMT is to share backend resources that would otherwise be unused on a given cycle, but these have dedicated execution units so it really is a different beast.
