- dgoldstein0Exactly.
- Wouldn't surprise me either. I know a guy who worked at Apple on iOS perf and the one time he was telling me about it years ago, it was "camera app doesn't start fast enough, so we reworked memory management". Apple really cares about the camera.
- Yeah ... If true, that's almost enough to identify them. Probably 5 people max at each food delivery company that could be, and their supposed role would be enough to single them out if the company can correctly guess it's talking about them
- Yes, or by http3's in order guarantees on the individual streams (as http3 is udp)
- I think the underlying protocol would have to guarantee in order delivery - either via tcp (for http1, 2, or spdy), or in http3, within a single stream.
- Same.
That said if you try to use that with ordinary parentheses usage it would get ambiguous as soon as you nest them
- yup. Fixed list of supported cpus. Well, I suppose it grows to include newer CPUs.
That said the rufus workaround can work for these - I'm writing this from a machine that's not a supported cpu that I just upgraded to Win 11 with rufus. Runs just fine. Fun fact about my cpu: no cpu with the same socket is supported, so to be officially supported I'd have to also upgrade the motherboard.
- totally agree, but it is a bit ridiculous that this workaround is required.
- Yeah I agree, it sounds like a misunderstanding.
I'll go further and say what we probably want is for the derivative of net income as a function of earned income to be monotonic increasing but max out less than 1. So that there aren't ranges of income where you are receiving very little per dollar earned and then after some point start receiving more per dollar.
But solving benefit cliffs really just means having earned=>net income strictly increasing with the marginal rate reasonable, say at least 30 cents more net income per earned income. Under that constraint, you could have ranged where net income grows slower until you hit some higher dollar amount of earnings, but imo that should also not be desirable.
- > The solution would simply be to stop making benefits decrease when salary goes up.
That's an option, and I'd be interested in how the math works especially with predictions of how the economy would respond.
That said I don't think not decreasing benefits is an important requirement. But net income (benefits + earned income - taxes) should be strictly increasing with earned income, and probably at a rate of at least 50% but ideally higher than that up to some reasonable definition of middle class income. It should never be the case that if you earn more you can end up worse off.
- This. No need for continuity in the derivative - the marginal tax rate should be fine to jump around - but should start low (I'm fine with negative) and increase as you earn more. Like US federal tax brackets, but with benefits also considered.
- Did we read the same thing? I think Google here said there would be a $25 fee per developer (for those who can't fit in their limited distribution category). I suppose it's much better than a fee per paid install but it's not nothing.
- > The Chinese laborers working in BYD and foxconn factories have higher wages than their equivalents in Mexico and Vietnam building products sold for 3-5x as much in the US.
I'm having a hard time parsing this. Also, source?
> The cheapest labor in the world is found in Africa and yet Western industrial manufacturing has largely ignored the continent. The price of labor isn't the most important factor here.
... Yeah this seems fair. I think a lot of Africa has an infrastructure problem - it doesn't matter how cheaply you can manufacture if you can't move large volumes of raw materials/parts to the factory and finished goods from the factory. Plus many areas in Africa have security issues which make them less attractive places to do business. Geographically, a lot of the continent is cursed with hard to navigate rivers as well (the upper Nile being an exception), so only coastal shipping is really viable.
- I think authoritarian fits better. They may be copying Soviet techniques which is a government that happened to espouse a communist economic philosophy, but in practice this has nothing to do with the economics and everything to do with exerting control. Fascists are just a different type of authoritarian regime.
- Also can you imagine trying to download software over the Internet in the 90s? They couldn't depend on their users having high speed connections because most didn't. App stores probably couldn't work before 2000.
- Which is why the default is often move to trash these days, or includes an undo option for a bit instead of a confirmation dialog.
But some actions are pretty hard to undo (eg installing malware), so the issue in general stands.
- Yikes. I missed that. Makes sense it wasn't just the station it was tuned to but the particular data they broadcasted; insane there was no way to power reset the system into a good state.
- Never heard of this. Link please?
- Only if you remember to spend your unavailability budget
- I think it depends. Encrypted filesystems typically encrypt contents of each file separately - that way you don't need to read / write the whole disk to read it write any individual file contents. Of course that means metadata may be in plain text or may be separately encrypted - again possibly folder by folder instead of all metadata at once. Exact details would vary with different file system encryption schemes.
Whereas if you image the disk and encrypt the image properly, that gives you all the great confidentially guarantees but no random access.
