But all companies do marketing (or sales) to find costumers. Graphic design companies do marketing (or sales) to find their customers.

Painters and artists do marketing, to get people interested in their art and exhibitions.

When you say "oxymoron" I think there's a misunderstanding. I didn't mean that they would do marketing about wood carvings in general, but instead for their own company and their own things they sell.

If PE ruined more businesses than it helped then people wouldn’t be doing PE (either the finance guys or the companies).

So technically there should be more wins than not. At least on paper. How that looks for lower level employees may be different but often PE is there for a reason.

I would think of JupyterLab as more of an IDE, and the major version bump need not affect their notebook format.

I'd say there's two kinds of publishers.

The "good" publishers will simply charge more per ad and do more hidden proof of trustworthiness, such as being more open to code audits/transparency, more user tolerable ad practices/product deisgn to minimize bad behavior/increase tolerability, or better ad targeting to simply demonstrate more effective conversions. Think Facebook (the tradeoff here is they know a lot more personal information about you to be able to do this).

Unfortunately, most ad publishers fall into the "bad" camp where they know they won't receive payout for some portion of their ads, so they increase the amount of ads shown to make up for the shrink or simply show lower paying ads that have more lenient verification requirements. This is more what Google does/encourages.

My experience is advertisers would love to show less ads with higher conversions, because it makes their lives way easier. But they can only buy what's offered, and there's a lot of cheap user hostile publishers desperate for ads (even most of the ad strategy suggestions in this thread are pushing for more ads) and very very few high quality ad publishers.

Just curious why you think AI is destined to fail. Is it like a hard-AI is incompatible with consumer capitalism or a soft-AI is simply not a feasible money-maker within the current economy?

Your hypothesis is plausible, but less likely than Chomsky’s IMO. One basic version of the typical chomskian response to this point is: many animals have the same input data, how come were the only ones who have evolved any capacity for language at all? The very best animals at language are apes, and we have to successfully teach one concepts that humans learn while still wearing diapers

> That’s a great point, and I’m always adamant about pushing back slightly on the story of Toys“R”Us. Toys“R”Us was profitable the last year before it declared bankruptcy. The challenge was that it had so much debt that it was servicing that rather than being able to expand its operations, and it had advantages that Amazon didn’t have in terms of physical stores.

Push back more strongly. My partner at the time had been working at a Toys'R'Us store for many years. She said right up to the last day store traffic was as strong as ever - think last minute shopping for your kid's friend's birthday party, buying toys for your own kid's birthday etc. They had significant traffic and sales throughout the year, not just holiday season. Buying a bicycle for our kid? You're going to want to do that in person. You're a mediocre parent that wants to placate your "annoying" kid? take them to Toys'R'Us and let them shop for something. People really underestimate how well TRU was thriving as a brick-and-mortar store.

Also, contrary to what the article says about not figuring out online shopping and logistics, she said associates spent a majority of their time pulling online orders for same-day in-store pickup, and that business was steadily increasing.

Too much debt killed Toys'R'Us, not Amazon. I don't know if it was all acquisition debt, or if they loaded up afterwords to strip-mine value but either way it was the debt period.

Sure! But that cuts into the "keeping retiring doctors happy" piece. If your practice is worth $15 million but you only get 50c on the dollar because there is no buyer pool, you might be pretty grumpy.

To the broader picture though, this is a double edged sword if you want more private family practices. Less doctors are going to go through the work and cost of starting their own business if they have to take a haircut on its net worth at retirement.

It didn’t take being “rich”.

My budget is lower than it was when I was making $135K (the median college educated couple in the US makes that much) when I had my house built in 2016.

The only thing different that I’m doing based on my income now is subsidizing the rent for my younger son instead of selling my old house and paying cash for the Condotel I bought. It was the same price in 2022 as what I bought in 2016.

What tends to prompt such responses in my experience is saying anything along the lines of "In my experience, I've noticed there is a tendency for (insert gender) to..."

Its not so black and white. The A100 is exponentially more difficult to assemble even though it is older. The silicon is far more specialized. You pay a price for such a "fat" node and server hardware guarantees.

At the same time, the cost is outrageous. Its not a low volume product.

Also, a 48GB 4090 (or 3090) would be trivial. So would a 48GB 7900. Its not done for purely anticompetitive reasons, one that AMD and Nvidia are unfortunately happy to go along with.
For me it's the other way around ... A lot if the high volume subreddits are gone leaving only the small communities that I have actually subscribed to ... And honestly, I very much enjoy the current state of reddit :-/

This out-of-the-blue accusation sounds like a confession of your true motives in this conversation: You like the man's politics, so you feel compelled to defend him in an unrelated topic.
Let me rephrase my complain about what I've seen. There is a lot of academic work on this stuff, but I'd characterize it as very "leaf node" oriented on certain aspects. E.g., grabbing a few at random:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00652... - boys may not have or get given the right sort of motivations

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3102/016237371771405... - teacher demographic match affects student perceptions of abilities and confidence and such

https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cdev.12... - young kids tend to believe boys do worse at school

https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/129/3/1409/181... - boys being more competitive pushes them towards more prestigious fields but the genders show overall similar levels of ability

That's just sort of how the modern academic system works. Specialization.

There's nothing wrong with that, but where I live it isn't turning into serious policy conversations that look at thing more broadly and with a longer view. It might in other places, but I can't speak to those.

I would love to see more of those serious conversations where I live. For instance, again specific to my experience in the US, it seems unlikely that "get more male teachers" would make a dent in a problem that started independently of primary teachers being overwhelmingly women.

Yea, I think people forget how much each update to the game has added to the "base" game. Because off the DLC, Cities Skylines has had 17 major updates over the last 10 years. Each of those updates fixed bugs and added new features to the game. They were funded by the DLC, but you don't even have to buy the DLC to benefit!

And it's quite possible that some of the left-wing political response to shelter-in-place orders and mask mandates, namely deciding to end them as policy, is because of right-wing (and some left-wing) pushback. I just don't know how much. Though I think it was stupid as hell the way they ended both social distancing and mask mandates back in July of 2021, when infection rates were still higher than when the mandates began.
Middle aged white men can be almost any of those things I listed.

It floors me that you aren't flagged.

Not because you mentioned middle aged white men (which I am), but because I am talking about reasons people get kicked out of the usually conservative communities they grow up in. Being a middle aged white man is not one of those reasons.

Middle aged white men can choose their community. Being an atheist I was kicked out of mine.

There's a difference between not choosing a community and not being welcome in it.

Your response reeks of "white lives matter" to me.
It’s basically the acquisition (buying out) a company using debt-financing (leverage). The typical plan is usually to use business revenue to finance the interest payments, optimize the business via cost-cuts or roll-ups, and flip it for a profit in 5-7 years.
Like most things, PE can be helpful or destructive depending on the execution and the exact strategy for flipping.

At its best, it’s bringing in experienced operators and maturing a company into something that is stable, before selling it to an acquirer or IPO.

At its worst, it’s saddling a weak business with debt, hiring terrible execs, and making unsustainable cost cuts to stave off an implosion.

The strategy matters a lot. Some funds specialize in “distressed assets”, for example and are very good at carving up dying company and selling it for parts.
McCarthy was one of my bigger introductions to what I could call a more "adult" form of literature. He was one of my favorite novelists when I was in my late teens and early 20's, and I believe him to be a master of setting a tone in a novel. Truly will never forget the first time I read Blood Meridian.
But will the demand be there for the new housing to live in an expensive poorly run city with fewer jobs in the commercial centers?
3 years ago, when I started work for my current employer, I noticed in Slack that everyone was reckoning time in "Standard Time" year-round. Now imagine my chagrin because I live in Arizona, and "Mountain Standard Time" does not change for DST. Therefore, all my coworkers were citing nonsensical, nonexistent time zones and it was messing up my ability to convert back and forth.

Come to find out that this was some sort of entrenched, company-wide standard that was deliberately imposed. I made a lot of noise about this and appealed to some rather highly-placed directors, because I felt like it was wildly inaccurate and deceiving people; if you schedule a meeting in EDT but you say it's in EST, and we have employees all around the world, who's going to know? You're inviting off-by-one errors. Especially with me who lives permanently in MST.

3 years on, I've been unable to change this fundamentally; while a few people acknowledge DST, 90% of the company still adheres to this crazy false standard.
Is this why HN was so slow yesterday?

There are two or three different prevalences in your question.

Outright racial discrimination at a community pool is illegal. "Just itching to break out the noose" isn't really a thing.

What happens instead is something more like https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/black-family-kicked-out-... where a white woman asked for the police to come because two black swimmers were talking to each other across her lane.

I don't know how to measure that prevalence, in any useful sense. There are also confounding factors as the history of segregation means black parents - who didn't learn to swim - don't think it's fun to take the kids to the pool, nor can teach the kids to swim.

It's certainly not low enough that it can be ignored. There's almost certainly research papers which address your question, if you go looking for them.

The third prevalence, which thebooktocome points out, is how public pools closed down, to prevent mandatory desegregation. Instead, whites started or joined private clubs, where racial discrimination is legal.

How many private pool are in your small rural part of the country? Even without explicit racial bias, are the membership fees high enough that the strong correlation between race and income results in an implicit racial bias?

For a deeper coverage, see "Still Drowning in Segregation: Limits of Law in Post-Civil Rights America", https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=... , which starts with this example:

] The absence of swimming pool access in many cities throughout the nation explains why in 2009 the Philadelphia-based Creative Steps Day Camp paid the Valley Swim Club, a private facility in Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania, a $1,950 membership fee for weekly access for their campers to the club swimming pool." According to newspaper reports, when some of the approximately sixty predominately black and Hispanic day campers "got in the pool[,] all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool."9 Some day campers reported overhearing "club members asking why so many black children were in the pool ... [and] using racial slurs while they were swimming."

] ... The swimming pool at issue in the Valley Swim Club incident, however, was private. After Brown and the closing of government-operated pools, many whites fled to privately-run
pools.

That specific case was settled: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-settles-ra... . The pool went bankrupt.

Still, that's one of the corners thebooktocome mentioned, and that paper should be a good starting point for you to find research on the prevalence.

Another might be "Navigating Rough Waters: Public Swimming Pools, Discrimination, and the Law" at https://scholarworks.bgsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=14... .

Oh, right! and the 2007 book "Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools in America". I had forgotten about that one. Google Scholar has some 380 papers citing the book. The book is at https://archive.org/details/contestedwaterss0000wilt .
