I thought your name looked familiar! I recall being very impressed with your 1989[1] entry when I came across the ioccc in the mid 90s.

I took it as just an illustration of human snobbery for the sake of snobbery. There are similar experiments.

I believe Penn and Teller did an experiment on bottled water to see if anyone at a fancy restaurant could taste how much better artisanal bottled water was. All the customers commented on how much more refreshing the water was when in actuality it was all hose water filled in from the back.

There was this other experiment, I can't recall from where, where they tested if audiophiles could here the difference between an MP3 and regular uncompressed sound. None of them could tell the difference even though they all claimed before hand that they could.

>Moreover, it's a collective ritual. We don't go to the concert hall just because of the music and because of Joshua Bell, we also go because it's nice to treat yourself to an evening out, to dress nicely, and to enjoy the fancy atmosphere of the theatre with its, say, baroque frescoes or modern architectural design. Joshua Bell in that context is literally not the same as Joshua Bell in a subway, otherwise why would he dress nicely for the concert? And you know what, there is nothing wrong with that. Theatre and music have always been this way.

You illustrate my point perfectly and you partially admit my point. You say: It's not JUST about the music which makes sense. But I say, it's more than that. It's actually NOT about the music AT ALL, because the music is much more clear when listened to digitally in a private space with no distractions. People can likely get that for free with a pair of good headphones. When people buy a concert ticket they pay for the "night out" not the music.

Just replace the music with some other snobbish artsy activity and they'd still go because it's never really about the activity itself. I shouldn't just focus on rich people snobbery it happens with any type of concert or music festival or whatever. It's never about the music in actuality it's only about the music in appearance. Everyone lies to themselves about why they go.
Replacing one system (typically referred to as legacy - almost in a pejorative way) with another new system can be a big improvement.

Or it can be a complete waste of time and money.

It all depends on the actual quality of the old system, and the actual quality of the new system.

The most common way this manifests is with technology changes. We must rewrite in a modern language like c#. We must switch our JavaScript framework to React. From my experience 90% of these transitions fail precisely because the legacy system is working fine, and _doesn't_ fail. The new system is always 2 years behind, so is never adopted.

Good architecture trumps new language. And there are a lot of legacy systems with good architecture.

There are also plenty of systems with bad architecture. Ones with too much tech debt. Ones that will fail. And these need to be rebuilt, hopefully with better architecture.

So how does a non-technical person tell the difference (hint: they can't). So they rely on their tech team to tell them. But tech teams want to play with new toys all the time so they're not easily trusted. Changing has huge consequences (usability, training, deployment etc) all of which the tech guys don't care about.

The sweet spot is a well architected legacy system, managed by people who both understand tech, and understand the needs of the business,and importantly, understand the architecture so can limit the tech debt created.

Such systems exist, but it's rare. And ironically all too often management doesn't even know they have it, so some upstart convinces them to "rewrite in React".
Barazza grinder is $100, and pour over sets are less than $75. French press is $20.

So about $250 if you get fancy?

The article[1] was interesting. Most of the people who stopped to listen had played the violin for a significant amount of time as a kid, which helped them notice a really talented violinist.

I imagine many more who walked past would fancy themselves as concert-goers, but wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between him and a talented conservatoire student.

> No, this is what the legal team would say when people asked them why they instituted a short retention policy and they didn’t want to say “we keep having crimes show up when people do discovery against us”.

This is the corporate response to the modern "show me the man and I'll show you the crime" legal system.

Everybody is always breaking the law, often because following it is impossible (e.g. different laws require mutually incompatible actions), but mostly because nobody knows all the laws and people regularly break them unintentionally.

Corporate lawyers have no ability to change this since it would require making the laws clear and consistent and simple enough for people to understand, so instead they try to make it harder for anyone to find which laws their clients broke.

Then we have to try not to cheer when the victim is somebody we don't like.
The answer to the question of paying above market price is market power. When firms have market power beyond perfect competition they adjust prices above the theoretical competitive level where marginal cost = price. A change in supply generally, ie shrinking, gives firms more market power to charge higher prices => inflation. Intrest rates really don't touch market power so it is pretty fair to criticize interest rake hikes as a solution here. Intrest rate hikes also slow down business investment which makes supply less responsive. But it REALY depends on the market. If you are importing a lot of goods from compaies with a lot of market power right now, ex: oil, your domestic government and the fed of your country can't do much to fight inflation other then to tamp down economic activity overall with interest rate. What is really the issue is government policy to combat inflation has fallen by the wayside since feds are more responsive.
"I don’t need you to tell me how f**n’ good my coffee is, okay? I’m the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys s*t.

Cars are better to drive on a nice dry road. They suck in unplowed snow or in the flood, pretty bad even in just a heavy rain. Many places where people live in the US get either or all of the above. Significant number of people die stuck in such conditions in a car[1]. But even though the chances to die are pretty low, an inconvenience of having no means of transportation whenever there are few inches of snow on the road or having to flatbed your superior ride after being caught in a flash flood pushes many people towards objectively more reliable vehicles.

Please do not ever communicate directly with anyone from a federal law enforcement agency. Only talk to them through an attorney. They are most definitely not on your side.
I have my own desk at home and I'm not sharing!

I'm quite used to spending part of my paycheck on things like renting my own toilet, my own bathroom, kitchen with my own coffee maker and while it is used for a much larger part of the day my bedroom is only used < 1/3 of the day.

I have no idea why we are doing this!

> Would you pay to rent a car for 5 days if you were only going to drive it for 2 days? You wouldn't, because you care about your own money.

No man! People actually BUY cars so that they can keep them all to themselves!

It gets more absurd I assure you. The justification for most of them is to drive to work!

I think investors know we are doing this with their money?
Ha this is so true. I wrote in a comment elsewhere in this thread that I mostly just use the movement keys hjkl with a fast key repeat. But I'm still kind of wondering whether the movement keys are actually hjkl, because I'm writing this on my phone so I can't check whether those are actually the keys I use to move around, and I haven't actually thought about it in like a decade.

Yes me too. I’d guess that the average man on OLD sees more rejection in a month than the average woman will in her lifetime. It’s a tough dating world for the average straight man. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Maybe a potential remedy is for straight men to move back to predominantly hitting on people in real life in the hopes of finding a woman not on OLD. OLD is only making the straight women on their platforms more repugnant, and really doesn’t provide high quality or quantity for the average man.

A fractal microcosm of this from the dev side is moving from GTK to Qt.

The reasons are the same -- GTK is way worse in documentation and stability and strongly opinionated toward a narrow set of constraints and mobile-focused GUI memes, all with an unapologetic smugness that just leaves you asking "why". (Although there's at least one answer: GTK supports way more bindings than just C++ and Python. :cry:)

The proper answer here is to:
1st) Study chemical engineering
2nd) Apply kinetic and thermodynamics models to a fixed bed desorption column
There are a large number of variables to optimize such as the: bed height, column diameter, particle size, pH, equilibrium constant for optimizing caffeine.

... Then to only realize that practically all you need to do is put the whole bucket of grounds in a small amount of water to and chew it for best results.

> a publicly held company straight up told its shareholders that

the pressure to do the opposite (of just raising prices whenever opportune etc) would be much higher for sure and the usual incentives for cxo's are usually against that as well.

that being said communicating with investors what kind of company they are investing in and that they value long-term value than short term squeezing of customers is all valid and fair imo...
As someone who does incident response for a living, the return to investment on offensive tactics is not so great now. The competition is fierce, organizations are slowly caving under regulatory pressure to improve infrastructure defenses and ultimately, crypto is not doing great right now.
Since neither scheduling nor billing appear to be different for a doctor in their first year vs 17th can you explain why a first year doctor whose salary is less but whom insurers pay just as much for you to see represents a loss?
That doesn’t really make sense. Raising prices not supported by demand would result in less profit in theory. For instance, prices may go up in a supply disruption, but the loss in sales means suppliers earn less. So if prices were artificially high, it would actually be more profitable to lower them.

Back in the land line days I bought a nifty gadget that you plugged in between the phone and the line. It had a button that when pressed would inject the intercept special information tone [1] that the phone company used to tell calling equipment that the number was no longer in service.

It seemed to work pretty well.

This seems to try and give people a way out which is the exact opposite of what is needed to deal with this. There has to be a commitment and a no-way-out approach. It quite literally can be life or death. If individuals are not responsible for their own health then who is?

> Isn't it a good idea not to serve ads on sites that are discussing a recent national trauma? Or at the very least not really related to politics?

I say no, because that devalues truthful reporting on real and important events, in favour of safe pablum that will pass the censors. Real news is important, but who is paying for news if it's not funded by ads?

I think a lot about what a workspace might look like in the future if you are using some form of XR device in a 360 6DOF visualization and control aware space. Almost anything tangible in your surroundings can be absorbed into the user interface experience on the fly or as built. I can see value in connections between these programmable knobs buttons sliders and the like tightly paired with the XR experience in an organized physical workspace setup to increase the bandwidth of flow in whatever particular direction you choose. Big fan of better standards and interop between these devices on the OS layer and USB/Bluetooth/MIDI/ZigBee/etc

I used to regard myself as an honorary drug addict/alcoholic because I’m morbidly obese. My whole family were addicts, inspiring me to never try alcohol or illicit drugs. In my declining years I actually sort of hope I will get some fun out of legal drugs like this, but it hasn’t worked out that way. My life expectancy is low and I am mildly considering trying some illegal drugs

> Funny how Google can ignore the privacy of internet users' conversations but when it comes to their employees' conversations, Google does not want to share those with the Government. According to the Government's memo supporting sanctions, Google is deleting conversations within 24h despite being under litigation holds.

It's kind of weird that we've turned formerly ephemeral things into "evidence" just because they could optionally be stored.

If it was a few decades ago, the kind of things happening in these chats would have happened in person or on the telephone with nobody necessarily recording it. Whether to store them or for how long is an arbitrary choice.

You probably have your phone with you all the time. It has a microphone in it. Is not recording your every conversation "destruction of evidence"? What if the microphone is always on (because it's listening for voice commands) so the audio is stored temporarily in memory before being deleted?

The precedents cases like this set don't just apply to huge corporations.

Yeah inference is a real weakness. I've used jax2tf to get tf saved models and tflite models, but it was a real journey...

There's some effort going into systems for saving and restoring the computation graph for Jax programs, which will help a lot. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner, as it seems like quite a natural fit with the jax architecture.
I don't understand why people don't understand what I'm saying.

> including paying them the new market rate after training is complete

This structure doesn't work. If a pilot is worth $100k to a firm that pays for training, surely he is worth more to a firm that won't have to pay that expense. There is no "market rate" that you can select that doesn't incentivize employers to try and "just grab trained employees" from other employers. It's a classic case of the free rider problem.
Do you think users would want them to keep such a log?
the theory and evidence behind it shows the opposite, "sticky prices" are usually always sticky in one direction.

wages is the biggest one, very hard to decrease wages but very easy to increase.

consumer goods are the same, it's easy to discount your stock to sell it - but if you raise it you have to deal with "price gouging" and "profiteering" and "causing inflation".
I feel her disclaimers are disingenuous.

The reason is because Indian bodyshops exploited the H1B system and flooded the H1B application process with Indian applicants. That's why the vast majority of H1B applicants are Indian. The unfortunate byproduct of this is that all of these H1B holders now try to apply for GC at the same time.

It's not rigged against India, it's backlogged because Indian body shops rigged the H1B system for their own gains and now there's a million H1B Indians all vying for a GC. Sorry, but these are the facts. There isn't nothing specific targeting Indians, it's the fact that so many applications have come from India, and to let Indians dominate the GC allocation would be unfair to the rest of the world.
