It amazes me that a company the size of Stripe is unable to put together a descent mobile app. Raised a few bugs over the years and eventually gave up and started using the browser, nothing ever got fixed or improved in this time

> There isn't any discussion of whether the intolerant action is actually intolerant or harmful.

People towards the upper side of a social hierarchy, who are not seriously discriminated against tend to find it very easy to discuss discrimination in the abstract, as a kind of intellectual game of chess.

The game's a lot less abstract for the pawns on the board, though.
I think Adobe's pricing is ridiculous, but this is uncharitable:

1. CS6 came out in 2012. According to the BLS calculator, $400 in 2012 is $532 today: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=400.00&year1=2...

2. You're cherry picking the worst one, do the math for CS6 After Effects at $999 (~$1.3k today) vs $21/month and you only break even after >5 years.
In this thread, people accuse Sam Altman of pursuing purely financial gain while he holds no equity in OpenAI.
Well, "enterprise storage" can actually be multiple, redundant copies of the data behind the scenes.

So, internally the storage team might quote say $1000/TB (simple numbers for an example) for a given storage quantity. And behind the scenes they'll likely have at least redundant storage arrays, plus backups and 24/7 monitoring for all of the data, etc.
I am sorta surprised that the support of SaaS is so high. It seems that saas in consumer products is the cause of so many consumer issues. Few pieces of software really need that many updates, and being able to view the code is key for future support.

Yes this announcement seems to be focused on businesses, but the option to buy software is important for the price of renting software to be cheaper than just supporting it yourself.
> "I don't hate black people, I just hate N-words."

I have heard this exact phrase (well without the euphemism) come out of many people's mouth in the Midwest.
What would be more interesting is to compare over 10 years for someone who buys upgrades (CS2->CS3->CS4 etc.) as they come out.

Additionally the individual Dreamweaver price is very high compared to "All Apps" plan at $660 per year.
These things are quite memory bandwidth bound, so if you are getting any kind of machine to run them go for the absolute fastest RAM you can.
So even though overall fatal traffic accidents would go down with self-driving cars for example.

You personally wouldn't be upset at all if a loved one died to a bug in the software that caused the self-driving car to make an obvious mistake that the loved one would never in a million years have made themselves?

I can see how people can have concerns at least, when control it taken away.
There's a huge difference in population density between the two groups; there was no place in the US that wasn't inhabited even before projectile points were fully diffused across the area.

Combine that with the fact that we're temporally very close to the Indigenous occupation. Whereas there's over a million+ years of geological processes to affect those artifacts original provenance.

Also, if we haven't been looking for crudely rounded stones we aren't going to have much of a sample size to say whether or not they are, to use archeologist's favorite word, ubiquitous.

I'd wager most people aren't aware that spheres aren't common in nature.
Sounds good, it's been a little while since I've touched anything GIS related, but it was kind of fun while at the same time stressful for me as a junior developer at the time. I'm definitely curious how insanely accurate AI upscaling will become with stuff like this, at least in terms of getting a good amount of the terrain correct.
Yeah, the problem is the people most willing to just leave are the ones that can get something else reasonably fast (which end up being your better employees).

AWS has been in decline in terms of quality for years now. They aren't innovating well and even higher turnover will only make things worse. Notice how Amazon is really far behind in LLMs despite having so many research scientists on staff.
So go start your $450 hotdog cart and let us know how it goes instead of making unfounded assumptions and constructing strawman arguments on the internet.
15 years ago most teenagers i knew had the full office suite, photoshop and most other softwares for free. I'm not gonna tell you how, but it's easy to imagine.

Guess what, those people wouldn't have paid for a license anyway, so no real license money is lost.

More importantly, it needs to be said that if you got an older computer you could just use an older version of the software, no problem. Now you can't do that anymore. You not only have to pay the 7$/month, you also need to buy a new ipad every once in a while.

I'm still anti subscription. I do pay for software (paid 150 euros out of my personal pocket last year for a SecureCRT license and i love it).

But the whole subscription thing is just BS.
Which ones in particular do you recommend?

KaZantip was in some ways similar but ended in 2014 (since it was held in Crimea).

Others I can think of are more straight music festivals (ex. Sea Dance Festival) and are fun but not the same. SXSW, EDC, Coachella are totally different.
IMHO, all of it. The real winner is whoever they bought "Once.com" from, good for that person =)
As a follow faang+er I totally understand the need for rto. Im perfectly fine with 3 days rto like my company and many others adopted which is perfect medium for everyone. In my team we get 3 days intense meetings done from Tuesday to Thursday. The devs have at least 2 days alone times for shipping the code. The company sold the buildings and the remaining building utilization is very high therefore the cost saving is also there. Everyone is happy in the end.

The question is what's the reason to increase from 3 days to 5 days? My guess is that unlike other tech companies, Amazon has high offline presence especially with a global logistic network. They are pressured by the local governments and other parties that if they don't mandate 5 days rto to prop up the cities, they are gonna lose many benefits or deals. So it's probably cheaper for Amazon choose 5 days rto instead.
Well it is regular business for any sufficiently big drug operation to put some lure's in the form of smaller shipments to distract the police from the real action or just give them something to play with.

All fine unless you happen to be on the wrong delivery I guess
Yes, but that still refutes the point all the same.
Put another way, they played trains with the kids, then argued about layout options with some other adult after bedtime, and came up with some novel solutions which were tested with the kids next day.

However if I’m any guide, a basic game ends up with me fighting a broken soldering iron or a bug in some language I don’t understand while the kid asks if we are there yet.
But that's not how the subscription pricing goes. Final Cut Pro X was $299, not $999 so it's not even a good example.

One the other end of the spectrum are all the mobile apps that start as a $2.99 one time purchase, add a bunch of features, and say "Actually it'll be $11.99/year forever thanks."

When every app starts to do that it adds up fast.

The economic engine you speak of today relies on an astonishing amount of centralization, it's an illusion that it is some kind of 'organic' engine.
Culture war topics being literally banned on /r/ssc combined with that community's imperfect ability in "keeping it together" when some conversation does sneak in leads me to believe that it would be extremely easy to be never found out if you were among them.

Why not just because they could? When I got my lathe one of the first things I did was turn wooden spheres. It's a lot of fun figuring out how to make them as perfectly round as you can.
It’s been along time since Adobe was that cheap. (=

I don’t want to defend Adobe, but inflation is real.

And they used to have upgrades that cost less money.

I think this price is more or less what it used to be, the real advantages of that everyone’s just up-to-date all the time.

I can’t imagine trying to support software on like 20 different versions, that would’ve been insanity for the support team.

Keeping everyone on one version is probably the real cost savings money maker for Adobe here. =P
My main problem with 37signals is that none of their products appeal to me. In theory, I've been in the target audience for all of them but their strange design choices often miss the mark entirely. But it's good people can make a living making niche things.

Also, I agree I don't understand the purpose of announcing a pricing model, but maybe they just needed something to put on their nice domain.
For anyone familiar with Seattle politics, this is absurd. The city council has been openly antagonistic to Amazon for the better part of a decade.
> Now you just sign up for a month and then cancel.

Or you sign up and then Adobe does everything in its power to stop you from cancelling, including lying to your face: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10930079 (https://web.archive.org/web/20170324161306/http://www.geek.c...). Just because subscriptions can work out well doesn't mean they don't get abused by companies.
> ny/ca/ma type states don't want their white collar workers moving to low tax states and working from there

NY doesn’t care where you live, they’ll gladly tax you and aggressively pursue said taxes no matter if you get any benefit from those tax dollars or not.
The SEC does not police tax loopholes. As long as everything they do is documented and legal, the SEC allows it. Hollywood accounting isn't some myth, giant companies like apple do it, where you can "lease" or "sell" intangibles like "IP" consisting only of your brand identity to a separate legal entity in a different jurisdiction that taxes it differently, allowing you to play games with who owns what, and who books what revenue, and who claims what income.

This is all SOP in any company big enough to have its own accounting department. That's like, their entire job and industry.
I don't disagree with anything you said, but I think you are underindexing on the importance of being a resilient data organization. Few things reduce customer trust like having the same error happen multiple times, especially when consumers are the ones identifying the problem.

Additionally, changes in the source data are quite common and very hard to detect. I agree that changes in code are another source of the issue, but that is usually under control of the data team, which is a totally different type of error compared to things outside your locus.

Automated statistical tests don't work because variance is common even in stable data streams; these add too much noise. It's critical for an organization to be able to patch a hole after it's been found, and this is where I think SQL tests shine. They need to be really easy to implement and monitor, but they serve a critical purpose for ensuring continued operational quality and downstream trust.
Did you try at all to discover falsehoods yourself?[1]

Snowden showed the intelligence committee were ineffective or complicit. And the chairman called him a traitor before the investigation. Truth was not the committee's goal. And their sources were established liars.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've not.

Although as lovely as it would be. Sadly me knowing my mother she'd tell me its wonderful, use it once and go back to her old ways and keep telling me otherwise.

She has her system of plugging in her digital camera, scanner for her prints and then work for hours.

When windows 11 decided to update itself on her machine, it really threw her in to a spin. Luckily she was within the Ten Day "don't like" uninstall limit. That was my latest fiasco.
the only good ones I can think of are ai related to own the data, and privacy, but the compute and tech needed, you'd be better to just have the whole system in a black box like old school cable tv receivers, with a rack of a100s, software that can receive firmware updates etc, but probably isn't that extendable.
> What would be more interesting is to compare over 10 years for someone who buys upgrades (CS2->CS3->CS4 etc.) as they come out.

but nobody does that, really.

most people i know skip entire versions of windows (eg: 7->10), let a lone individual software releases.
And in this case, they always seem to get more wealthy and come out ahead no matter what.

I've been in a few companies which where we had dedicated account managers on MS side. One was even so big that there were MS engineers sitting with our teams.

Questions of actual substance were rarely answered satisfactorily, sometimes weeks of chasing got nowhere.

With this context I would not hold by breath for them to come back with anything useful.

Also having seen the kinds of untested garbage they deploy as services I would not be surprised at all at them silently losing data, I would not even be sure for them ever noticing that they have lost data.

For anyone using their storage as backups, I recommend having an inventory (with hashes) and comparing that to whats in MS from time to time. At least you know you are not going crazy, even if MS never trusts your proof about their incompetence.
Not OP but I work in a similar space.

Sadly it works and here we're talking about it.

But yeah I agree
Ooh - nice observation!

Large investors are motivated to carefully examine the issue, with a singular focus on the company's performance w.r.t. their fund's goals.

Presumably those fund managers are somewhat dispassionate about the managements' and employees' takes on the topic, excepting for how they'll affect the company performance.

> 1. High-fat diets, as done in your 3rd paper and as done in most "high fat" studies, are incorrectly labeled such. "High-fat diet (HFD, n = 10: 55 % fat/25 % saturated fat/27 % carbohydrate)"[0] is not what the parent meant by "reducing sugar and carbs altogether instead of promoting whole grains as they do." A more honest interpretation would be "max 40g carbs, the rest fats and proteins." This is because the main benefits of such a diet only come out when carbohydrates are severely restricted -- as has been known for a while now.

Where's the evidence? I linked to a study, one that isn't confounded by weight-loss (unlike the studies you people like to cite) demonstrating that as the fat (especially saturated fat) content of the diet increased to an absurd degree (55%!), insulin sensitivity tanked. Why would insulin sensitivity, when measured by an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, suddenly improve if you restricted carbohydrate even further? Yeah, at some point your intake will be so low that you can "game" an HbA1c or fasting BG test, but underlying insulin sensitivity will be trash (which an OGTT would show), unless maybe you lose enough bodyfat to offset it.

Why do so many people on keto develop "physiological insulin resistance?" Why does all of the epidemiological evidence show strong inverse correlations between low-fat carbohydrate consumption (like whole grains and fruits) and T2DM, but the reverse for high-fat "carbs" like cookies or pizza?

The most reasonable interpretation of the data right now is that high-fat diets make you less insulin sensitive.
Why a sudden change of heart?
Just be aware: the workflow is entirely different for someone with a lot of Photoshop or Illustrator muscle memory. I couldn't figure out how to do a lot of stuff without googling (and then frequently still).
This is true of buy-once software too. You used to pay a significantly higher cost for FCP, Adobe, Office, etc......
That's fair. Hmm...maybe it's my listening habits, then?

For myself, when I listen to music, I insist on listening to it start to finish, in the order it was recorded. I hate skipping around. I find it distracting and frustrating. If I start listening to an album, I am "locked in" to finishing it.

Most albums I own are closer to 12 songs per album, with each song being in the 2-5 minute range, that makes listening somewhere around 24-60 minutes of solid music.

When I find an artist I like, I generally start to buy the other work that they've made, and will queue up their newer and older work together, too.

I will usually queue something like: new album, old album 1, old album 2, old album 3, translating close to a few solid hours of music. By the end of it, my ears will be pretty exhausted and I'll either continue in silence, or switch to an audiobook or YouTube video.

I might have a dramatically small collection of music that I listen to compared to other people, because of how I listen. I can essentially repeatedly listen to the same songs many times, but because there's a lot of stuff in-between it still feels new because I haven't fully memorized each note yet.
"Ad hominem", "cancellation". You keep using those words, but I don't think they mean what you think they mean.

Yeah... if it wasn't for examples around the world of "publicly owned" healthcare being absolute dog shit.

IE: the VA.

The VA is publicly owned healthcare for our nations heros and how are they treated? They kill themselves in the parking lot waiting to get treated.

Look at any public option around the world and you'll see okay results to start with... with long wait times, rationing, lower outcomes, etc as it ultimately fails.

I wouldn't wish the VA on my worst enemy and you're blind - purposely or religiously - if you don't see the massive problems with systems like it.

In my experience using tournament selection with a small elitism count works best. You keep the best `n` members of the population and for all other members you group them into random groups of size `m` and select the best value from that group.

And for that $400 you got to run on one computer.

Office used to be $600 for one copy that could run on one operating system.

An efficient allocation of attention would be the exact opposite of the goal of basically any social media company(or any attention based company). The problem of attention allocation comes down to the individual deciding not to participate in the never ending cycle of bite sized clips of information.

The reason I made the comparison is because the parent said Nvidia GPUs are "only better bang for buck for AI/ML [...] and for 4k." The existence of a popular, cheap, high-performance 720p console SOC manufactured by Nvidia sorta proves otherwise. Nintendo's capability of turning shit (PowerPC) into relative gold (GC/Wii/WiiU) is impressive, but besides the point.
I’d argue is a chemistry problem, or maybe material science, as the type of plastic dictates the stress tolerance.

What I want is the structure of free market capitalism but more weight towards labor. essentially the problem (IMO) is that Capital can be super concentrated & is inherently mobile but Labor is distributed & wants to be immobile/stable because our main goal is to live life and raise family. this is the fundamental weakness in labor's negotiating position.

Unions are a solution but they also have power concentration problems. IDK whats a good solution but perhaps a state administered sustenance UBI that indexes to inflation & always comes out preferentially (like SS/medicare) from tax revenue. and slowly over time we grow the definition of baseline human necessities as economy advances.
Or too busy? In plenty of families both parents have to work hard to make ends meet.

Not helped by the fact that children are growing up in a completely different environment to the one their parents remember. Familiarizing myself with TikTok or whatever the kids are into these days would fill me with dread. And the way platforms work means my experience of them would differ dramatically from a child's anyway.
Its always been an open question to me in the case of Adobe if rampant piracy in the 2000s helped rather than hinder them. If these teenagers went on to work in industry, they already knew the adobe suite inside out and likely ended up advocating the software and buying licenses in the workplace... As you probably rightly state, almost none of the folks pirating the software would have converted to real sales anyway.
Hell, github has had a lot of outages in the last weeks (webhooks for the most part), I would not be surprised if they'd lose github data .. which I guess would be detected by git eventually but hey, what's gone is gone.
This bill (the Online Safety Bill) has a long and politically complicated history. It was originally motivated by the Cameron government's fairly limited desire to mandate that public WiFi had porn filters in place and then seems to have grown over many years to include a huge number of pet projects and power grabs from various career bureaucrats.

I don't think politicians set out to do this but it's been around in some form or other in Whitehall for so long that there's no real responsibility anywhere and it was low priority enough that noone ever thought to properly kill it.

It's very British in that sense.
