There are those and those, and each side says something like this about the other, the real minority is realistically seeing the whole picture.

Also self-reflection isn't a bad thing, we can only change ourselves and then influence others (hopefully without force :)).
Cloud bandwidth is cheap if you commit to spending a certain amount per month.

Our bandwidth is less than .001/GB with like a $1500 monthly commitment in AWS. Fastly was even cheaper (which is why we're using fastly).

Call you AM and talk. It's not hard, and it'll save you a ton of money.
Interesting, does that only apply if you buy via healthcare.gov?

I see the full $30k+ in annual premiums that my employer plus I am paying in my W-2 (box 12 code DD), which is money that could have been cash compensation.
Teenagers just aren't that horny anymore. They're having less sex now than previous generations. It'd make sense that they're bored or sex in film when they're not even interested in sex even with each other.

> To combat this, they have increased taxation, either through freezing slabs or moving down tax slabs. This penalises people in high wage professions and it leads to loss of competitiveness.

I'm a relatively well paid software engineer in the UK, and I don't recognise this at all. I would be very happy to be taxed more to have a better health system. I wouldn't see this as being penalised, but something I'd vote for.

I have plenty of disposable income; if I had a bit less I'd probably spend less on buying expensive tech gadgets from American companies, investing in international shares or taking foreign holidays. It would be better for the country if that cash was diverted towards the NHS. I think overall it would make the country more prosperous. A sick workforce is an inefficient workforce.

Having a bit less cash would not make me less keen to start a company or change employer for more cash. In fact it would probably do the opposite.

Years ago I tried I2P to test the limits of anonymity it can provide. It’s sad that it doesn’t seem to have much funding, because it’s far superior to Tor by all means. The guys worked really hard on the theory before implementing it. Still, the UX of the router was really bad. It really needs a standalone binary to work flawlessly and performantly across all platforms, not to mention the need for a GUI which doesn’t require you to know many technical concepts beforehand. Current router is written in Java, and I hoped i2p-rust would catch up, but it seemed a half-dead project.
I looked up buying a Chipolte Carne Asada Steak and Guac, after tax it was $15. FWIW, I normally get chicken no guac, I think was like $8 or so after tax now its $9.31 after tax.

I looked up the price for Amy's Vegan Supreme pizza at my local Kroger, in-stock for $7.99. No sales tax on that item, so just that price.
> If I want to watch porn, I'll watch porn, I'm sure as hell not going to opt for some scene in a regular movie.

I think you’re on the right track here. In the 90s, teenagers would watch objectively terrible TV and movies for the handful of scenes where someone hot was as close to naked as allowed. Sports Illustrated sold a ton of swimsuit issues to guys who didn’t want to be seen buying Playboy, etc.

Now that anyone looking for that can get unlimited quantities of any type of erotic material they can imagine online, anyone looking for entertainment is going to skip anything which isn’t very good - no more trying to make up for bad writing and concepts by tossing in a gratuitous shower scene or having your heroine inexplicably choosing to fight in a bikini.

The other thing which has been developing for a while, and really ramped up with #MeToo was the realization that a lot of the guys making decisions about what goes into movies were pretty sleazy. It’s not a new observation that there were some pretty screwed up decisions about sexualizing things like rape or other violence, but I think a lot of people decided to stop watching it even if it was in a popular film or show, not to mention some very influential Hollywood types having their careers reconsidered in light of harassment claims, and I’d bet some of that factors into the results of this survey, too.
That's helpful, but doesn't address the bigger problem of people squatting on deceptive names.
$1500/mo commit got our bandwidth down to < $.001/GB in AWS via CloudFront.

At some insultingly small amount the payout becomes 'unfair.' So if you're losing nothing why let yourself be insulted? So if the unlocker (who also loses nothing by doing nothing) wants a portion he would have to consider that.

Find My doesn't require the passerby to have connectivity _at the time it passes by_. They record where they were when they saw the lost phone, and whenever they get connectivity back, they report that to the owner.
For a task like that, I'd recommend LLaVA instead. It's still inaccurate, but it's a great deal more accurate than the other options I've tried. It also works with llama.cpp.

LLaVA is a multimodal language model you ask questions of. If you don't provide a question, then the default is "Describe this picture in detail". But if you have a concrete question, you're likely to get better results. You can also specify the output format, which often works.

(Make sure to use --temp 0.1, the default is far too high.)

It runs very slowly on CPU, but will eventually give you an answer. If you have more than about four-five pictures to caption, you probably want to put as many as possible as the layers on the GPU. This requires specific compilation options for CUDA; on an M1/M2 it's possible by default, but still needs to be turned on. (-ngl 9999)

I’d love to read a deep dive on how those numbers came to be.
At Nuremberg trial, the commander of Einsatzgruppen Otto Ohlendorf in his defence has told that allied forces bombing of Dresden and Berlin killed many times more civilians, children, women. And a pilot with a press of the button did worse war crimes than a death squad soldier that followed commands and executed Jews.
In law it's called "Dresden defence" and it wasn't admissible in the trial.

He was hanged in 1951.
So uber did private cloud, then went to public cloud recently because the balance was not worth it ( and they probably had enough scale to negotiate a good price, like netflix ) .

Design Review: How to convert more visitors into customers
It’s not a strawman. The person I was responding to has been all over the thread saying official inflation numbers are designed to be misleading.
I think this is the most honest-sounding reply to a layperson.

Our data doesn’t fit GR with the boundary conditions that make sense more locally. Positing a bunch of non-interacting mass/energy is closer to observations than doing nothing.

Calling it a placeholder seems honest, reasonable, and productive.

Getting pushy about WIMPs and stuff (which is deeply intertwined with the refusal to give up on supersymmetry because, careers) in a world where Michio Kaku is on TV talking about quantum computing and AI in a way that’s less scientific than Matt Gaetz yelling about UFOs on C-SPAN to distract from the child-trafficking charges is icky.

From what I've gathered from reading other comments in this thread, that copy will make perfect sense to Oxide's target audience, as it uses words in a way that will be very familiar and make perfect sense to the kind of person who might make a purchasing decision for a system like this.

And for what it's worth, I don't think you need to explain what's happening to Steve, it seems to me that he understands perfectly well. To me you come across as being rather condescending and in my opinion Steve is being commendably polite in response.

> "society" (who's that?)

It's just the average of individual persons in relevant positions of power.

That is, if 80% of direct managers use indirect pressure to get employees to work more than they're contractually expected to, "society" expects people to be overworked. (totally random example, not sure if it applies to Nintendo)

(we could discuss deeper causes, there's no saying where those managers learned their behavior, but that's not what we're measuring)
The technician that works on our piano reglued some

We could solve acid rain within the confines of capitalism because we could make money doing it. You could sell large scale market solutions (catalytic scrubbing of exhaust gases) that could entirely solve the problem and have the small costs be passed on to consumers universally in the form of slightly higher electric bills and slightly higher car costs.

We could solve climate change within 3 years. We could make a concerted effort by humanity to universally move the world to clean energy. But it's not going to happen, or at least happen way slower than it should, because of capitalism. You can't do what we did with acid rain and transpose it to climate change because it threatens some of the very largest owners of capital and they're not giving up their wealth extraction machine without a very dangerous fight.

> Americans don't save - haven't for 30 years - this isn't anything new.

It's also worth noting that the intuitive relationship of "savings is low, ergo times are hard" doesn't really fit the data. For example, during the bubble years prior to the '08 mortgage crisis, the savings rate declined significantly. When the crisis hit, the savings rate went up and stayed up afterwards.

I start with desktop layouts, create that, then make it responsive for mobile devices of all sizes. I'm often only given a desktop design for a page, and I'm fine with that.

"Mobile first" is not the right way to approach the problem. I dislike desktop layouts that were obviously "mobile first" and only look like a wider version of a mobile layout. It's just the wrong way to do things.

It's very easy to use media queries to make all the content of a desktop design fit into a mobile layout. I really don't understand the disconnect about this. I manage to get full functionality in both desktop and mobile devices of all sizes, but others cry "mobile first!" like if you don't do it that way, then you're doing it wrong? It's nonsense. "Mobile first" almost always leads to sub-par desktop experiences, and that's a shame.

My favorite challenge is a design meant to be printed on a single page. The page also has to load on desktop and mobile browsers. With the printed page, the content absolutely cannot overflow even though it's dynamic content and could have text of any length, or list items of any length (scaling is used to a point, but often some items must be omitted from the layout). So in this case, it's absolutely "print first", not "mobile first". And yet I manage to make a perfectly good mobile responsive layout and a desktop layout out of a "print first" page.
Why Unity felt the need to "rush out" its controversial install-fee program
Affirm, Klarna, and other services for deferred payment are just credit card debt in a different form. They’re used to encourage impulse buys like expensive event tickets.

Yes, the orbit is visualised in relation to the Earth-Sun system.

Yes, the asteroid and Earth are catching up to each other and actually exchanging energy (although the effect on Earth is probably not measurable).
Over the years it's become clear to me that frontend is probably the hardest part of the stack. People think they can just shit out some bootstrap react app and it's perfect, but being able to write complex UIs that can work on any browser, any device, with all assistive technologies, and all languages, is extremely hard. You need someone with a deep knowledge of html, css, and the supportive web apis. A good frontend engineer is incredibly rare, even at big tech. What's even more rare is a UX designer that also thinks about these things, who are worth a million bucks.

> Would we instead prefer the brightest minds of humanity spend more of their days optimizing algorithms that encourage other humans to sit on their asses consuming ads?

If I had to allocate them, I'd put them working on renewables, useful carbon capture, and artificial "slow organics" like wood.

But then, the great thing about markets is that they can see more broadly than me. (And the bad thing is that they can't see as far.)

Anyway, if we decide to invest on space exploitation (instead of just exploration), I'd bet on asteroid mining much before planet colonization. Settling down on a planet seems to be a completely useless action.

> Especially so since their wages haven't gone up comparably to match.

The economic data indicates that average income has gone up more than prices have since the start of the pandemic. If you look at Real Personal Income (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RPI) it's up 5% relative to the end of 2019.

And if you think inflation is way higher than is being adjusted for, you're simply wrong. The MSRP for a 2023 Mustang GT is $38,345 (https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang/2023/). The 2020 was $38,320 (https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang/2020/). The price of Chicken Breast is up 38%, not 100% (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000FF1101).

Yes, public opinion is irrational, but the more obvious political question is why public opinion is so wrong now, when often it is not so pessimistic about the economy.

> we see how immigrant friendly the US is. The natural born citizens wouldn’t necessarily care about that

To the contrary, plenty do care about it in the sense of being opposed to further immigration from developing countries. "Demographic anxiety" is a term often used to describe this.

Also, both natural born citizens of recent immigrant ancestry and those natural born for many generations care because anti-immigrant sentiment is a canary for a broader xenophobic trends.

When pressed, almost everyone has an opinion on immigration policy.
I’m not talking about public sentiment. I’m responding to someone who was talking about “the numbers they are seeing coming out”. When someone responded what numbers, they listed the things I rebutted.

Someone’s belief was causing them to invent numbers coming out to justify that belief.
I would disagree with "very" hard.

We don't have to touch every class of device with our B2B product, but we do have to support desktop/tablet/etc. We decided to make a tradeoff in terms of aesthetics and keep the overall design as simple as possible. When you don't plan to test the dimensions between iPhone and iPad or concern yourself with foldable/esoteric devices, you should probably not get too elaborate with your design language.

Our app has 1 simple breakpoint @ 960px. Below this, we assume we are on smartphone and run with one column layouts. Above, we display the full width view. We combine the media query with CSS grid layouts to swap between modes. The specific number was chosen to allow full-size presentation in side-by-side window arrangement on a 1080p desktop (our most typical power user scenario).

Again, we are B2B and only have to tolerate US audiences. So, we have the ability to get away with far more than developers who have to polish B2C experiences with international audiences.

If I had to do B2C web properties and ideally support as many devices as possible, I would be more amenable to that adjective. Otherwise, I would say it is a normal amount of "hard".

- DigitalOcean/Vultr: ~$5k depending on compute usage _(you get a free bandwidth allowance based on compute)_
Um. It’s not. They have a free plan, but it’s subsidized by their paying customers.
