I had high hopes for Pat Gelsinger too. I suspect most management expects the consequences of short-sighted corporate culture to manifest in products as maybe a 1% failure rate within 90 days of sale, not a 25%+ failure rate slowly manifesting over more than a year. The former is the cost of doing business, the latter is an existential problem. I suspect Gelsinger didn't know about it and lower management buried it thinking it was a <1% problem, and he's only found out about it as it's become clear what a massive problem it is.

All just speculation though.

The guy that runs Apex has a brother on the other side of town that I don't think he gets along with. Is that place called Apex Jr? I seem to remember it being an industrial rental unit.

Most prop warehouses have gone out of business lately. It's a shitty business. The prices are sky high because it's so costly to keep all that inventory and you have to keep adding more all the time to keep up with trends, at the same time repairing all the broken and missing shit.
The first thing I saw was "proton packs from the original movie" and even in the thumbnail I could tell they didn't look anything like the proton packs from any of the movies. It's three tanks. Pretty clearly a surplus flamethrower.

Is there any RUMINT about specifically why it's delayed? The delay itself is not RUMINT, and it's obviously some QA issue, but beyond that?

The only rumors I've seen are generic guesses: something AMD wasn't screening for, maybe coincidence, or maybe detected after the Intel mess sent AMD's QA teams scurrying to make sure they don't have any similar issues.

It could even be a combined issue with 3rd-party motherboards with AMD's new chipsets, the combination of which they wouldn't have been able to thoroughly test much earlier.

Isn't RUMINT on the Intel problem that, even though it's nominally a chip problem, it may occur primarily due to motherboards not following guidance? For instance, if a spec says the chip and mobo should lower max voltage by 100mV under certain conditions, but the chip still sometimes requests the full original voltage under those conditions, and the mobo provides it, whose fault is that? Maybe not exclusively Intel's, depending on how the specs are documented (a classic should vs must issue).

It seems likely that small process sizes and pushing the limits of performance are going to cause more problems like this Intel one. Notice Intel didn't have this problem before they had to push their chips to compete against the high-end Ryzens.

Well, at least you got one thing right.
Instead you should advocate for payment network neutrality.

A friend of mine who is a doctor said that when he was learning the saying was “watch one, do one, teach one.”

He made a morbid modification; “watch one, botch one, do one, teach one.”
My first hand observations: took 4 months to hire, 5 months for the candidate to start.

My first hiring in a corporate world so I had to learn a bit.

Then we are expected to plan for diversity, not even looking at qualified candidates until we have met diversity benchmarks.

Then my group had a committee kind of setup where one person could veto a candidate. Being my first hiring, I had to go along with it for a while. At one point, we had a viable candidate, but there was one person who was sideways and my manager did not want to go ahead unless every single panelist said yes. We held on for another month trying to look for other better candidates. The candidate was nice enough to wait. BTW we had a viable candidate even before that, within the first 2-3 I think, and that candidate did not wait for us.

Then getting the offer approved and negotiated and signed takes time.

It has been a pain, and after hiring quite a few people in startups or consulting companies, I could have done it in less than a month, but we had our inertia.

> where a misstep could have irreversible damage.

However, when I see it help is that we have a person in our peer team who is not good and they are trying to let that person go. It is in Europe so laws a bit more stringent. It is quite a work to let someone go so the fear of a bad hire and then having months of work to let that person go is quite real. And this is for a run of the mill IC.
>Months as in 2 months is pretty normal. FAANG processes often take 6+ weeks.

What sort of barrel are you scraping that you can spend that long on a hire?

The people I've had to hire were on the market for two weeks every five years if I was lucky.
The problem is not that rents are too low and sales prices are too high, which might make it appropriate to punish renting a unit and force landlords to sell. The problem is too few of both rental and ownership units.
> EU didn't go into an uncontrolled spree investing every company that had .com in its name and ruined thousands of lives and wasted billions of dollars.

This is the thing that so many Americans in tech don't seem to understand. VC Twitter is full of smugposting about how the US has "$5 trillion market-cap of startups" and the EU doesn't.

And what they miss is that the EU doesn't want Silicon Valley. It doesn't want the "trillions in startups". Because essentially none of them turn any profit. Why on earth would anyone want $5 trillion dollars in companies that do not make financial sense yet have awful externalities.

I'd have thought group theory would be a required math course. This would also come up in Comp.Sci. complexity contexts and even in Calculus or mathematical logic contexts (I'm sure in many others I'm missing). Way back when this was a required first year course in the Comp.Sci./Math program I took.
SCOTUS can absolutely decide differently when one of these gets there.

Things are only "trivially worked around" if we let them be.

There is a concept you don't seem to be familiar with called "beneficial ownership". What this means is that if an LLC buys a house, a lot of jurisdictions require the "beneficial owner" to be known and to be taxed accordingly. The beneficial owner may not be on public records (the LLC will be) but the tax authorities will know.

Some jurisdictions don't do this or don't enforce it, which is a big part of why the London property market is the money laundering capital of the world [1].

So what would I like to see?

1. Eliminate the Mortgage Interest TAx Deduction. It's giving money to the wealthy;

2. Increase property taxes for any property owned by an LLC;

3. Require a beneficial owner to be recorded and maintained with tax authorities;

4. Treat any benefical owner or owner of any property in the state to be a tax resident of that state, which means their worldwide income is subject to the income taxes of that state;

5. In any sufficiently dense population area, single family housing ("SFH") zoning should be illegal;

6. A return to multi-family units as this is a class of housing that used to be really common but is now exceptionally rare. I'm fine with landlords to the extent that the landlord lives in the same property and suffers the same externalities from their tenant as their neighbours do. This includes AirBnB too;

7. Higher property taxes for SFHs that don't have an auxillary dwelling unit ("ADU") in any area where the median rent is above some threshold of the median income;

8. Do what Texas does with property taxes for Seniors: you can defer them until your death if you don't want to move. Otherwise you should downsize. We want to do the opposite of what California did with Prop 13 and pass massive tax breaks to Disney and wealthy landowners under the guise of "not kicking seniors out of their homes". In case you didn't know, the tax rate for Disneyland has basically remained unchanged since the 1960s thanks for Prop 13.

That's probably a good start but not egverything.

Neat example, thanks! I hadn't known TS had that option. Array access was actually exactly the example that came to mind for me in a related discussion:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41076755

I wonder how widely used that option is. As I said in that other comment, it feels to me like the sort of thing that would produce errors all over the place, and would therefore be a real pain to migrate to. (It'd be just fine if the language semantics were that out-of-bounds array access throws, but that's not the semantics JS has.) I don't have a real empirical sense of that, though.

> By definition a fair coin is one for which P(H) = P(T) = 1/2. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_coin.

But that's a circular tautology, isn't it?

You say a fair coin is one where the probability of heads or tails are equal. So let's assume the universe of coins is divided into those which are fair, and those which are not. Now, given a coin, how do we determine it is fair?

If we toss it 100 times and get all heads, do we conclude it is fair or not? I await your answer.
Damn, what a cringe 'company'. Jobs was right, founders who act like this are embarrassing.
I'm a FL resident (firmly NOT republican), Goto Disney Parks once or twice a month. It's amazing how people there will walk just inside a doorway and stop, or be in the center of a walkway with a group of half a dozen while oblivious to the mass of people around them. It's common to see people stand as a group blocking the entrance to attraction queues or even just entering the park they don't have their pass out before they get to the podium or they scan their pass wait a few seconds and then put their right index finger on the reader, both slow things down alot. Oddly those people are the ones you come across later in the day that insist on standing so close behind you in queues that shifting your weight will make you bump into them, it seems strange people don't grasp there's nothing to be gained from being close enough to smell what the person in front of you had for breakfast.

It's more common than you would think to come across a wild turkey(those bastards deserve the annual culling), deer, geese, coyote, a few months ago there was a black bear in tom sawyers island(they closed off a third of the park until it was captured). A few weeks ago I was leaving the magic kingdom and was going to walk from the main parking lot monorail station over to the bridge toward the Polynesian resort to the parking lot(I loathe the trams, prefer walking). I was just rounding the walkway and came across a snake that was upset about something in the center of the walkway. I think it was just a black snake, but I have a phobia for that particular type of animal. I reversed and took a different route. I have actually seen snakes a few times over the last couple years around the Polynesian resort, turkeys encounters are very common at the campground.

People think that because the parks are very safe as far as public places go that everything in the Disney bubble is "safe". If you're in an area where you aren't familiar with the local wildlife you should always err on the cautious side. But generally people are oblivious to anything around them.

Yes I used it, but then switched back to Gentoo and now Void and Devuan.

It's a great distro but suffered from a slow and difficult on-boarding process and the docs seemed often out of date with the actual distro, sometimes years so.

I'd used Gentoo for a long time but struggled with Funtoo to get everything working.
Fantastic, this could be iterated on by setting it up as a custom airplay speaker with re-mapped volume thresholds.

surveillance pricing is such a bleak future.

pull up to a fuel pump, price boxes above the individual fuel hoses say “To learn pricing, for your convenience, please scan your phone’s NFC chip so we can determine your personal income and economy-wide purchase history.”

“Oh, it looks like you’re in the mor17-36-97wcmyoal-93 pricing group!”

“However, our scan indicates there are 2 other individuals in your automobile. To ensure an accurate pricing model, for your convenience please scan person1 and person2 mobile NFC chips.”

“Oh, we see passenger number 3 is in raf79-93-18hswcpfu—32 pricing. Thank you!

“Unfortunately, we’re
unable to determine passenger 2’s income and economy-wide purchase history due to their lack of NFC ID. For your convenience please see teller inside for pricing options.”

“If you question the validity of our estimations, please send a certified postal letter to our headquarters with the price ids previously shown on screen during the passenger scans. (The postal mailing address can be conveniently received by request from welovecustomers@fuelUSA.com Please allow 6-8 weeks for processing and we’ll get that postal address to you in a timely manner.)

just let me fuel my car… please…

I think the reason the critisism comes is because the tone of the post on the forums kinda reads like (to me) ‘fuck you guys, I’m off’. He’s completely within his rights to do so, but it still leaves me feeling offended, and I never even heard of the distro.
I wish someone would solve the opposite problem in PCs and laptops—that of too little audio gain. Designers never leave any gain in reserve for when audio input levels are too low.

Why do they do this? The problem is so obvious that you'd reckon they're doing it to deliberately annoy users.

The problem doesn't stop there, the lack of gain with Bluetooth is notorious. Almost every Bluetooth device I own has insufficient gain, franky it's a damn nuisance. The audio in the two sound bars that I own is so low on some audio material that I'm thinking of pulling them apart to see if I can find an op amp and increase its feedback resistor to obtain more gain. I should NOT have to do this.

Let me give you an example, the audio levels on many YouTube videos can be all over the place. Often the audio can be 6 to 10 dB below what it ought to be, thus it's impossible to listen on a laptop's speakers, especially so when one is listening in a location where the background noise is high.

What's wrong with the designers who design this digital stuff, don't they ever use the equipment themselves?

Haven't they ever seen a traditional radio or HiFi where the volume potentiometer is off at the 7 o'clock position, 12 noon is the maximum volume with a nominal one volt input signal or a radio station that's using normal levels of modulation, and the reserve gain is the range from the noon position to the 5PM one?

Do I have to say it again? The reserve gain is for when the input signal is lower that it ought to be. The world is not ideal, audio signals can be far from ideal—even from high tech companies like Google.

Occasionally help comes along, VLC has settings that allow the gain to be set to over 100℅ but I've often had situations where even VLC hasn't had the necessary reserve.

I've come to the conclusion the designers and programmers of this digital equipment haven't a clue about how ordinary amplifiers work. Or they have never taken the trouble to find out. They just assume a 16-bit input has 65536 levels and that's the range. Full stop! They never give consideration to what happens when the peak audio input covers perhaps less than one third that range of bits.

To get enough volume I've even had to use the audio equalizer, that's when one has been available, and often there is not. To get the extra gain I slide all sliders to maximum. Having to do this frequently is an ergonomic nightmare.

This is what happens when the arrogant digital world is too prowd to take a leaf out of the analog world—the world that managed to get these issues right about a century or more ago.
> swim in money

If you have a swimming pool worth of money, or a pond, or a canal, or a river, or maybe an ocean - you can swim in all these. Some founders maybe don't want to turn 58 trying to reach that perfect cubic m. volume of water to be able to swim. They might rather want to start swimming when they are kinda younger (30s maybe?). Who knows. And while already swimming they might want to get another pool, maybe an olympic size later and so on, instead of keep waiting for that "perfectly sized water body for them".

> change the world

Oh ffs. Really? Is that even a thought on the distant horizon of startup founders? Haha.
I don’t deal with audio, but I do use high frequency DACs/ADCs.

I have never found a DAC that actually has useful/detectable output differences above 16-18 bits. I’m not talking about audible, I mean with oscilloscopes. Many DACs take 32 bit inputs, but those extra bits aren’t useful in the real world.

The integral and differential non linearity of DACs in the real world make those extra bits misleading.
This sounds like an argument for never educating people and doing nothing about the problem.

Just because you graduated from a CS program doesn't mean you will always write bug free code using the ideal algorithm and design pattern.

But you know what you should be striving for, can more readily identify issues, and maybe sometimes you actually are perfect.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Very curious to ask a few questions:

How was your experience being an employee-owner at either one of these companies? Did you receive any transparency of the ESOP plan (distributions, allocations, etc.)?

For both companies, how did you receive the funds once the companies were sold to the larger corp companies (cheques, direct, etc.)?
