What exactly is the "flaw" in capitalism here you are insinuating here? There are plenty of small, cheap, reliable, and efficient cars available, if that's what you want to buy. The Toyota Prius. The Honda Fit. The Tesla Mode

In almost all such circumstances, the control group is still given a "real" cancer drug that has already been proven, and the study looks for the new drug to demonstrate an improvement versus the current state-of-the-art.

I don't see anything unethical about sending an email asking website operators how they comply with their obligations under various privacy laws. If you are not subject to those laws, you can reply as such. And if you are subject to th

Argh, I was watching the race, and just happened to pull up HN on my phone while making coffee. I try to avoid most news sources on Sunday morning but I figured HN was safe.

I filled out a VAERS report and never heard from anyone about it. Unfortunately I haven't learned anything interesting about what the mechanism of action might be. Especially with respect to the most interesting question - does this re

Is it too early to conclude whether booster effectiveness will also wane in 6 months? I had some mild but persistent side effects from the second Pfizer dose (ear ringing and Eustachian tube dysfunction). It's gotten about 98% better -

This isn’t really obscure or domain-specific, though.

This essay is well-articulated nonsense. "I don’t really know if there’s a crime wave regardless of the perception that there is one. ... What really gets to me though is that there _is_ a clear crime wave happening. Oakland’s at its

Lead contamination is a bit of a crusade of mine. I'm always frustrated when the topic comes up. People will object to any proposed improvement by saying "I've been doing <XYZ> for 40 years and it hasn't killed me

How do "professional" inkjet printers avoid these problems, and what's the transition point (in price, or whatever) at which this happens?
647.
by avalys 5y ago
Inkjet printers have always been a dumpster fire. It is easy to blame devious and rapacious practices by their manufacturers - but these same manufacturers also make laser printers at similar price points that are much more reliable and do

Does anyone know what kind of printers are used by professional photo services?

This is a borderline inaccurate headline. This is an incidental characteristic of one tiny subassembly in a much larger model. The headline leads one to believe the entire set can’t be disassembled at all and that Lego deliberately designed

Thank you so much for posting a transcript. I ignore so many podcasts with clearly brilliant, interesting, valuable content in them because I just can't tolerate the tedium of having to listen to audio.

You seem to have ignored the entire class of businesses that don’t “make their own software” at all.

I apologize for calling you a 14-year-old, that was stupid of me. :) But I don't think the rest of what I've written has been particularly cruel or hard-hitting - honestly I'm a little shocked you've interpreted it that

I'd appreciate you not calling me stupid. I could say that your attitude here comes across like a 14-year-old whose parents told him he won't be getting a new GPU for Christmas. The 10k number was just an example, is there a numbe

Also I reject your claim that lack of access to the latest and greatest GPUs is going to shred the PC gaming industry. Graphics are nice but they don't make a game fun. If people have to spend another year playing games with the settin

If there are only 10,000 graphic cards available to sell - what difference does it make if these end up in the hands of 10,000 rich gamers who can afford to buy them at market price - as opposed to 10,000 randomly selected gamers who won a

Right, and banning scalping bots doesn't increase the supply of GPUs either, that's my point. Supply and demand is the issue. Not scalping.
657.
by avalys 5y ago
The problem here is that lots of people want to buy GPUs. There's no need to "justify" an upswing in prices, because there is no central authority that sets the prices who can accept or reject your justification. Yes I'm

> Consumers should have access to things like GPUs at a rate the manufacturer is happy to charge. Okay, great, so you ban scalping bots. Now consumers can't buy GPUs because they're sold out, as opposed to because they're

I don't think that's the literal name of the position. This is a common term to refer to a manager with an organization of ~20-40 people, where their direct reports are primarily managers themselves as opposed to individual engine
