I'm curious whether advertising or paid usage has the higher potential profit. You can look at it as a mostly closed system. Users buy the products, ultimately paying for advertising.

Alternatively, if VCs/failing companies pour money into advertising that fails, this money does not come from users. In this scenario, users get content for free and, combined with the above, the total potential profit of the system is greater with advertising than without.

Advertising both alters what people buy and gets them to buy more.

As a result, I suspect that even if users are willing to pay for content, the potential revenue in a system that uses advertising is greater. This makes it a rather intractable problem in an unregulated revenue-maximizing capitalist society, requiring both an attitude change from consumers along with regulation.
It'd be super helpful to mention the total cost will be close to $14k on the $100 pre-order page or at least somewhere near the top of the homepage. Also probably one of the implicit reasons this comment got upvoted.
I had to watch an ad before his video played. I don’t think it was him placing the ad so much as youtube just doing its thing.

I suppose they share that ad revenue with TCC.

You could always use smart vents (e.g. https://flair.co/) to eliminate some of the inefficiencies you mentioned with ducted systems.
More importantly, why should they?

I mean, yeah, I guess giving end users that level of control is a good thing, just like how they can decide the default font style of their browser.

But it's not the user's job to fix your web page.

How text is rendered on a page is a result of intention. The web developer should be able to implement the design intent of a body of text and either allow it to widow where it makes sense or force the text to balance. The problem is that the tool for that simply doesn't exist without some JavaScript foolery, not that the user can't toggle something to make it happen.

> so I can only imagine using… canvas and doing your own font rendering? Which sounds horrible for all number of reasons.

It's both horrible and not.

Canvas can be used merely to make appropriate calculations for text given that it is aware of the size of any font it is using. Rather than rendering with a canvas directly, it could be used to efficiently determine what the width of an element containing text should be to make it "balanced", and maybe where to stick `<br>`.

This has basically nothing specifically to do with widowing, but I once implemented the approach of using canvas to do calculations for actual page text. The goal was to make it so that a given text would always fit the size of its containing element no matter how long the text. In other words, if the container has a fixed height and width, like if you wanted for whatever reason to render the Declaration Of Independence in a 300x300 div, it will find the correct font size to squeeze that whole thing into that div.

https://codepen.io/Ravenstine/pen/QdRYeq

Of course it will get slower the more text it has to calculate. Kinda tempted to see if WASM speeds it up any.

I think it's a poor idea to try to polyfill text balancing in that way, but I think it can be done and in a way that doesn't sacrifice rendering actual text.

EDIT: I realized I contradicted myself.

Farming this out to humans via CAPTCHAs ("Flag the scam comment") risks the Cobra Effect.

Viewing it through an economic lens the other end of the problem to attack is naïve users - if they're identified and don't see the comments the scammers stop making money.

> people didn't panic about SVB eating a loss, even it wouldn't have likely failed

Silvergate, SVB and Signature were insolvent. This wasn't a fire sale prompting a decline in their asset values, i.e. classic illiquidity. It was their assets being worth less than their liabilities. If it were purely a liquidity issue, they could have borrowed at the Fed's discount window. (As First Republic appears to be doing.)
Okay, but how does punishing the depositors for management mistakes fix that? It definitely increases the damage, though.

The shareholders lose it all if the bank goes bankrupt. They should have incentive enough to watch over management. If they don’t notice, how does it help for depositors to have their money at risk too?

Does YouTube offer the ability to pre-moderate vs post-moderate comments? Yes, he would have to go through and allow many, many comments, but also pretty soon the scammers would give up based on my prior experience with blog and email spam.

>Thanks for this--it's like a performance art piece on what happens if you don't take any humanities classes.

You're hilariously correct: this is what happens when you use facts, logic, and reason. You don't have to take humanities courses to understand how shallow and steeped in wokeism they've become. Much like you don't need to taste dog shit on the street to identify that it is indeed dog shit. Nice self-own.
The thing is, there's this plausibility factor that makes it hard to filter out BS

You could 100% design a network switch to be good for audio.

- ensure periodic packets like say arp don't introduce jitter

- do qos on audio streams vs other data

- favor latency over throughput

- maybe tune things like MSS to keep packet sizes smaller, but no fragmentation

etc..
For the last 20 years, the financial system learned how to throw these tantrums to reduce rates back down. Inflation numbers were also fudged. Financialization is successfully holding everyone hostage. Even before COVID in 2019 the Fed had given in to another tantrum.

Today it is VCs tantrum. It's actually ridiculous. We've reached the point where the riskiest sector in the financial system gets to cry and get rewarded for bad behavior and self destruction.

This isn't a problem of a strong Fed in control choosing what to do. It's a problem of a spineless Fed that gives in to manipulation. It isn't a problem of central banks manipulating, but being manipulated.

Once the financial system realized it's in their own interests to be fragile, it was game over. They will keep on holding everyone hostage.

Unless we figure out how to rescue the hostages without paying the kidnappers, this will continue happening.
While Amazon has clearly not taken delivery of all 100k vans, they may also not want to do so at the rate Rivian will be able to deliver them soon. If Rivian scales to the point where they are delivering 10k (or 20k or 30k) vans a year, will Amazon want to deal with that? It's certainly not cheap to buy that many vehicles all at once. Plus it's Amazon's first delivery EV, so they're going to need to be installing a LOT of charging infrastructure.

Amazon also wants Rivian to be successful, as AMZN has a 17% stake in RIVN. If they can get a few deals from other major delivery chains, that would do a lot of help both their revenue (because they'd be selling for more than whatever Amazon agreed to pay) and forecast. UPS, Fedex, DHL. Not to mention hundreds of regional and local delivery companies. You could probably also find a lot of smaller groups that do their own delivery (ex Imperfect Foods) and own their own vans, that might be interested in going green ( ex https://blog.imperfectfoods.com/our-commitment-to-being-a-ne... ).

Worse if Rivian doesn't start to be a player in the EV Cargo space, the market will quickly be completely absorbed by the number of other players who are in the space and actively selling into it ( ex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEKMvZNkWCQ & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJRNceHBc4o )

I'm a father of two. I'm really tired of seeing this "once you have a family you'll see you need to drive everywhere" thing. It is not so inevitable, it is a choice; it's kind of the default choice for many in the US, sure, but it doesn't need to be so.

You're thinking about it kind of wrong. You don't need to fill a huge fucking jeep with groceries for the month. You make it part of your daily routine to get a little at each trip. The store is already close to where you will be.

The use of tarot cards as therapeutic projectives is actually backed by science though, [1] and more and more practitioners are making use of them in clinical settings [2].

Replacing the entire fleet of cars with self-driving cars isn't cheap either; so both require a significant investment. So does owning a car for that matter: both in direct car ownership, but also public cost in road maintenance, health care costs, parking lots, etc.

With fewer cars it's a lot easier and cheaper to get quicker and better public transit going. I don't know anything about Portland, but in general going by bus anywhere is mostly waiting in traffic (i.e. cars) instead of actually driving. This is why some places have bus lanes, which do help, but in a limited fashion.

I don't know how it compares exactly, but it's quite complex and there are a lot of factors and I'm not so sure public transport ends up being significantly more expensive in the end.
Older processes are cheaper, but 5nm node costs something like $25,000 per square foot (with around 0.1 defects per square cm, which may result in waste) and doesn't do pieces larger than about 1 foot. That's pretty bad as far as textiles go.

> we also do poorly at guessing the direction or shape of progress

I think this is especially true over longer time frames, because in our hubris, we extrapolate from what we know today, and cannot (by definition) extrapolate from things we haven't discovered yet.

In addition, we tend to filter what we know by what is important and what is not important, and we are not good at understanding that sometimes, a breakthrough doesn't just introduce something new, it changes the importance of something else.
Well you are all over the place here. I can see that you hold a passionately held position on this. I do not.

>It was to defend western Europe against Soviet expansion.NATO has never attacked Russia

correct and correct, never said they did.

>and the economic downfall was of their own doing.

well, now that isn't quite correct is it? We went hard as hell after them and used all manner of financial sanctions and threats of sanctions on other countries to decimate their trade. So, we helped a little in its breakdown, right? And that was the real point of NATO. No one was or is ever going to full on attack Russia when it can end most of the Earth.

>do you not agree Russia has invaded Ukraine?

From Ukraine's perspective, yes! From Russia's perspective, no!

>You stop future invasions with security guarantees from other countries, and using sanctions to make war cost more than it's worth.

Were those not already in place?

>Although a lot of their attacks lacks precision and are purposefully "erratic", killing civilians as part of their terror strategy.

I mean, I agree with you, however I am curious of a war where this did not happen? The US blew up entire fucking cities of people and we celebrate it! In your mind has the Ukraine only ever used precision strikes to take out military targets and people?

>Does this mean that every country on the planet deserves to have their schools and hospitals bombed, or their territory occupied by rapists and murderers? There's a big difference between being faultless in all circumstances and being invaded by a cruel army firing thousands of artillery shells each day.

No it doesn't. But I am curious if you can identify a war where this did not happen (from the perspective of the one getting BTFO'd, not the one winning, they always think they are righteous.)

I can't hear much at all in a noisy room and sometimes miss whole conversations, which can be bad for one's relationships. I was recently diagnosed with 'auditory processing disorder'. With my 'perfect' sonogram (is that the right word?) in hand, a hearing therapist suggested that I may have lost a tiny bit of my exceptional hearing and that may have triggered my brains confusion with sound.

Audiophile-grade self-delusion is, fortunately, fairly rare. What's far more common today is the error many consumers make about 4K TV. I have friends who show me their new 4K TV and think it looks "amazing" just because they are feeding it a source labeled "4K" resolution, without considering (or even knowing) the bit rate of the compressed source.

While there are good 4K sources like UHD Bluray discs and a few decent streaming sources (but it's spotty and inconsistent), the vast majority of "4K" sources look pretty awful due to being wildly over-compressed. And the level of self-delusion from some of my friends – who are otherwise very smart – is near-emperor's-new-clothes level.

A recent example was the Super Bowl which was one of the few "special events" Comcast aired in 4K (only available on the latest version of Comcast's streaming boxes which few people have – and 4K is not available if you use DVR). I checked it out on a current-year higher-end 65" 4K TV (~$3k) which I adjusted myself to disable the myriad default settings claimed to "enhance" signals but often mangle them in unexpected ways.

Even set up properly on a good TV it looked terrible. The tell-tale DCT macro-blocking was rampant and in many shots the base 4K-ness of the resolution space seemed to highlight the 'peggishness' worse than the 1080p version (which I was cross-checking against out of now-morbid curiosity). The super bowl is widely claimed to be the best quality 4K live broadcast. $250,000 lenses on the best cameras sent through the best signal paths managed by hundreds of engineers across a small city of the world's best production trucks. All stomped into a peggish mess so that cable and satellite companies can shove hundreds of channels of infomercials and decades-old Murder She Wrote episodes down the pipe simultaneously. I guess they'll keep doing it until enough people demand better or someone offers an alternative. Afterward I searched online and it appears the only widely accessible way to view the SB in decent 4K was if you live in one of the few cities that currently have broadcast TV stations airing true 4K and you set up an over-the-air antenna. While it's still compressed, due to FCC specifications for signals actually broadcast OTA, it's pretty mild and apparently looks sensational compared the what most people saw at home on their "awesome" new 4K TVs.
unfortunately, No it can't.

Are you predicting the feds will continue to raise rates in the next couple months?
Good point. One of my assumptions is that the rent would not be much cheaper than the mortgage payments (plus maintenance). Of course that might not be true, and in that case you'd indeed end up paying much more than you pay when renting.

However, when renting, you have to cover the same maintenance cost + interest that the actual owner is paying - why else would they rent the place out? (Ok, maybe you can time the market or have another kind of fluke, but can you really count on that?)

Thanks for the link! I need to give this a deeper look, as I'm currently considering my options.
Probably. They did just lose a big court case.

But if I ask "how old are you?" in an interview and reject anyone who says "17", then all the interviewees are going to say "18". Kids are pretty dumb but they can figure this stuff out. I'd be happy to claim 10 years of Kubernetes experience if I thought it would give me an advantage in the job market, no question. The children in question are already violating local labour laws; claiming to be 18 doesn't really hurt at that point.

Although I will note "tried to derail our efforts" is one of those things that could mean anything. People who are innocent might also have tried to derail efforts. Being investigated prompts some funny responses by businessmen.
Hence, the US government stepping in to ensure both depositors are made whole, and (more importantly) saying that the banks can redeem their underwater treasury bills at par (up to some limit under some circumstances obviously).
