A lot of people in tge US don't really understand the political views they are espousing, or the histories surrounding those politics, nor do most americans have even the slightest understanding of the political process within their own country. You can forget about the vast majority of US commenters (even here on hacker news) having any knowledge of socialist/communist theory. I'd imagine that the initial commenter is actually unaware of left/right positions or their implications.

Why be so quick to jump to "I can tell someone why they're wrong"? Taking the time to read their comment a second time might lead to the realisation that they clearly weren't commenting based on a perceived connection of 'streaming platforms', the connection was "business models which succeeded on account of offering a legal & convenient service cheap enough for people to choose it over their previous piracy".

Maybe I've just done the exact same thing, perhaps I was wrong to read an attempted correction into your comment and you just thought you were adding some interesting additional information to the conversation. In which case my bad, and sorry. But I think unlikely you'd share that as random "fun fact" extra info rather than replying to a misunderstanding of the previous comment's point.
We use a number of 3rd party APIs, and the problem we hit was knowing which to trust, which were reliable and which could be counted on.

I'm obviously not talking about your Googles / Twilios / Auth0s / etc. I'm talking about the longer tail of services that we don't want to build ourselves, but that there isn't instantly a big name service that provides it.

We would try one or two, and then find that they would work great in testing, but when you put any kind of load on them then they would regularly fall down. Similarly, when you reach out for help - while you're in the buying phase, they're very responsive - but as soon as you need support, you're looking at days not hours for a reply.
RTFA. Nothing was debunked. WaPo say very clearly:

At the time, Zuckerberg told remaining employees the company had made a substantial cut to “minimize the chance of having to do broad layoffs like this for the foreseeable future,” according to a recording of the companywide meeting reviewed by The Washington Post.

WaPo also says very clearly he delivered a different message to investors.

The tweet from that meta functionary weasels around this.
Funny that after waves of layoffs since we're no longer under ZIRP, the applicant pool gets even larger. This should further lower the pay.
I'm not sure the logic applies. People may be addicted to caffeine, and willing to pay through the nose to get it in a form they like. If they suddenly become poor, they would probably drink instant coffee at home. But they're not.

It's similar to alcohol abuse. Many [0] people addicted to alcohol don't pick the cheapest option possible to get their fix, they go to pubs and bars with their friends if they can afford it.

[0]: I want to say "most people", but I can't find this statistics anywhere, and don't want to present my impressions as facts. So I'll stay on a safe side and just say "many people".

I disagree he was reckless though. He thought he was dying - and quite likely he would have had he didn't start a signal fire.

It got out of hand yes and there were better ways, but I bet he was not thinking clearly since he was suffering medically and mentally.
I disagree because its deeper than that, there are also external incentives and they are the laws of the local jurisdiction.

One thing that might not be obvious if you haven't employed CPA and lawyers and really read the supporting regulations for their decisions is that... the government doesn't know what your legal rationale is.

Read that again, the government does not know your legal position, they don't know if they are more correct or you are more correct. When you have privileged communications and multiple business entities, the government doesn't even have a way to know. (If they were "parallel constructing" then the case would get dropped because they know what you did was legal.)

All they know is that whatever you did wasn't common and that they didn't get paid.

Your legal position can be very accurate. It can be a matter for the legislature to change it if they really don't like it. But that has nothing to do with you.

And this isn't just fishing for loopholes. There are many outcomes where the government finds that velocity in the economy is more important than their own revenue collection. They wind up incentivizing certain kinds of transactions and heavily taxing the rest of the transactions. Governments worldwide do this.

We'll see how it pans out for Facebook, but there is almost no world where I would immediately lean towards the prosecutor's opinion just because a mega corporation or billionaire is involved.
Their website shows multiple quotes from people who were "dating" their chatbot for 4+ years. Then overnight an update eliminated the perceived romantic interest of the chatbot.

Id love to have a simple FAA rule that says the following:

Every time there is a plane inspection, software update, at least 1 random person of the mechanical or software team for each party that directly touched either the plane or ground systems must be a passenger on the maiden operating flight for that plane/airport.

This would apply to all parties involved.

I'm sure the FAA can compensate and the FAA already has rules that are far costlier than this
On the first problem, if you’re already going to estimate the answer with finite iterations over an infinite series, I think you should just skip ahead to the simulation that was used to test it.

The header for the test section says “Validation” but that’s not what’s happening. It’s not taking some answer and seeing if it’s correct. It’s coming to the answer in a different way, in a way that’s faster to write, faster to run and easier to understand than the other code.

Easier to extend and modify, too. Uneven weights for the toys? Easy. Want the P99 case? The standard deviation? Easy. Simulate it ten million times and see what comes out.

I’ve just been hyped on simulations over calculations for probabilities lately and this is wonderful confirmation bias.

Okay, RSUs are an even bigger con. Google used RSUs in much the same way when I was there and it wasn't common knowledge (they were a bit less forthcoming about how your "RSU multiplier could be less than 1.0, even 0.0.") and when I was talking with an employment lawyer about them (at the time is was more focused on the employment agreement they were trying to get me to sign an "updated version" of) they suggested that NLRB action could probably help shed light on their wage schemes.
I am not a lawyer, but I think the legal strategy was flawed. You can sue someone based on first principles (the NSA does something that's against the Constitution, and we care about the Constitution just like everyone else), or on personal harm (the NSA does something that reduced our profits). But trying to bundle both is suboptimal, because it allows a skeptical court to shred the weakest of the two arguments, which in this case is the second.

And by the way, I find the second complaint quite weak. Can I sue the NSA because I can't properly sleep at night due to my anxiety of being under constant surveillance? Of course I can sue, it's a free country. But should I expect the Supreme Court to hear my case? Most likely not.

They do that to save fuel not just to cut costs but also to reduce consumption, which is net positive if you factor in environmental conerns. Some locations require it for noise abatement. Also, reducing the wear on the engine means more cycles and less maintenance/chance of engine damage. These parameters are well tested and are very well understood.
Planes take off at mere 150kts, compared to what their cruise at, which is more than 250 knots. If you can take off at lesser thrust, it's not bad to do it. It's not like Airlines are making huge profits out of it too.

> Why implement coroutines when you have multithreading?

Because coroutines are easier to think about than threads, and avoid entire (large) classes of bugs.

Because coroutines (typically) have a lower overhead than threads.

Because if you are IO bound and not CPU bound, and therefore you don't need to spread work across cores, threads may not provide a given workload with much, or any, benefit.

Conjecture: I suspect that Apple is underwriting or paying for the new fabs years in advance, since Apple has wads of cash overseas that it needs to invest (due to US tax laws). Apple can place orders years in advance for all the output of entire fabs, and by paying for fabs it would be able to control costs of exclusive orders for the production. Apple doesn’t want to bid prices up against competitors, so long term contracts make sense. TSMC would perhaps not be able to finance such aggressive moves to new nodes without Apple, and contracts can remove most financial risk for TSMC.

The above is just capitalism at work - the richest company in the world investing in the world’s most expensive toys. Apple has ~5x the market cap of NVidia and Apple can predict their usage of silicon, whereas NVidia’s market is more volatile.

Whether the above is monopoly power is arguable.

I also would strongly suspect that TSMC has political requirements embedded in the contracts. For example Taiwan needs phones that are secure against China (security against state level attacks), and Apple can meet needs that other fab users cannot. There is no doubt in my mind that TSMC are using Apple as part of their silicon shield: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Taiwan+Silicon-Shield

Were non-child dependents (the elderly, the infirm) treated as property? Or as responsibilities (e.g. filial piety).

If prices didn't increase you could allocate eggs by lottery, or limit quantities. Some stores did limit quantities.

Charging more for a product to allocate demand doesn't necessarily increase profits. If the profits aren't invested to raise production at the remaining farms, e.g. if supply is inelastic, which it might be in the short run (raising new chickens at farms that got bird flu would take just as long as at healthy farms, you can't force existing chickens to lay more eggs, etc.), then the profits ought to be rebated back.

In fact, retaining profit can be a sign of price gouging. It means you've run into inelastic supply and there's no place to spend that money to solve a short-run problem. On the other hand, maybe they'll reinvest it next year or over the long term into expansion, and you might want to reward investors and management at well run farms; but if this flu is a freak accident of nature where equally run farms might get it or not, then no.

https://www.kicad.org/ is free and open-source It is mature and useful, has a vibrant active community, and is progressing at a healthy pace. It competes with the paid options, but might have rough edges comparatively speaking. I recommend starting here. I've only ever used this.

There is also Eagle PCB which is now an Autodesk product. It requires a Fusion360 subscription but I don't know if the free version qualifies. It's a professional tool.

Those are the only two I really hear about from the communities I lurk. But I know there are about a dozen or so currently that range from simple to professional.
Eggs aren't the only grocery item that has risen in price. The reason I used your breakfast as an example is because you used it as an example. I assume that you were using it as an example of an extremely egg-heavy breakfast, and pointing out that the price difference is insignificant to you.

I responded by pointing out that if (ideal, fantasy) minimum-wage families ate like you, they would have to work 50 more hours a month in order to deal with the price increase. My implication is that 50 hours of work a month is significant. Salary calculations are usually made with an assumption of 2000 hours a year, and that increase in egg prices of families who had your diet would represent 600 of those hours.

I'm disagreeing that the doubling or tripling of the prices of basic foodstuffs such as eggs, flour, milk etc. is a silly thing to get hung up on. Your argument seems to be that eggs are so good, they'd be a bargain at any price?
> I find it funny that when you drill down, the only supposed quality decrease is in the "freshness" of produce and meat

The difference in quality has little to do with "freshness." I recently studied the difference between Whole Foods and Fresh Direct in some detail. Fresh Direct is generally 20% more expensive than Whole Foods. We were looking to cut our budget, so switching from Fresh Direct to Whole Foods was an easy choice. However, after a few weeks, it was clear that the quality just isn't as good.

Here are a few examples:

1. Fresh Direct has heritage raised chicken and pork. The chicken, in particular is amazing. It's much smaller than a typical chicken, way more flavorful, and the color of the meat is so interesting. The dark meat has a beautiful purple luster not found in the Whole Foods chicken.

2. The "Animal Wellfare Certified" meats at Whole Foods are all step 1 or step 2. Fresh Directly has many step 3 and step 4 options.

3. All of the Lancaster Co-op produce is really good. Can't find anything like it at Whole Foods.

4. We eat a lot of fruit during the summer. Certain produce at Whole Foods is just bad. Like I could not buy a good organic peach at Whole Foods. They always came rock hard and never softened.
> I have yet to meet a good leader, coming out of Meta. I worked with several, and all of them share the. same trait - ignore the problem, till it disappears.

That's because the good ones don't leave.

More generally, I think that the last few years have been way too easy for FB/Meta (since 2015) and that's why there's so much bloat.

I get why they want to flatten things, but I think they've left it very late and I'm not sure it's gonna work out for them.
Choosing keyword matching as the algorithm is explicitly a way to target recommendations of information provided by another information content provider. As is sorting by most recently updated, as is using a machine learning model that optimizes for engagement.

All of those approaches can lead to illegal content, and the entire point of Section 230 is that regardless of which they choose, they are immune from any legal repercussions of surfacing that content.
I don't think it's particularly useful to expect that someone would react the same way you believe that you would, in all honesty.

This is like saying that you're not sad about your mother dying because you didn't immediately burst into tears. It's well understood that we all process grief differently and sometimes we even struggle or fail to process it.

So is it so unreasonable that one may process any notable or traumatic event differently? I can try to put myself in the shoes of someone who is sent to a gulag for 7 months under circumstances that appear to be unfair, and I can't imagine anything except how much it would fucking suck and how actually, I might have complicated feelings that range from anger to despair.

Whether I like this guy or not, or think he is a good guy or a bad guy, has absolutely no bearing on this. It's just not useful or helpful to police someone's reaction.

Yeah. I imagine there are (broadly speaking) two groups that are conflated. There's the group that has returned or is considering returning to full-time work because they found they need the money. And there's a group who might do something interesting on the side for a bit of money and because it's interesting.

I would absolutely consider the latter in retirement but would hope not to have to do the former.

I don't think anyone who is in the know would be surprised about that. Noninvasive blood glucose monitoring is a multi billion dollar product, should anyone be able to figure it out at all. It's fiendishly difficult, and quite possibly impossible to do it sufficiently accurately, even more so over long periods of time. C8 MediSensors was trying to do it 10 years ago, but ultimately went under. Even with Apple's budget, it's a herculean task.
I might use these. I always wanted to get into making memes instead of just sharing them. These can be easily added to (rasterized) images to remix the original image, which is great. I've also wanted to birth a meme, as in, instead of just rehashing an old joke, I created the joke and it gets shared widely, sort of like some legacy that I contributed to cyberspace.

Or maybe I should just use 4chan more and try and get an image trending. That's how it's done right?
