Demand is overwhelming supply of EVs. The supply chain is still buggered and layoffs are not indicative of anything, nor is Tesla the only game in town anymore.

Demand significantly outstrips supply in desirable areas. It's not just about population growth, it's about where that population chooses to live and how much of the population are looking to buy a home.

Borg is not K8S, K8S is not borg. Borg is far more advanced in its scaling abilities.

by dlp211 4y ago
I don't know anyone running 5k node K8S clusters. That said, borg (as an end user) appears to just keep scaling, but it uses a different model and makes different assumptions than K8S.

It's not your code, it's Google's and I don't see how this is an anti-pattern. It is actually one of the best thought out solutions to balancing source code supply chain security and productivity. The fact that the indus

Your math is off. The 200-300% interest doesn't matter if the return on your capital is greater than the interest rate.

Bots probably seem like they make a bigger part of Twitter's population b/c they will simply tweet more than the median user. I imagine that the majority, and perhaps the vast majority of Twitter users are mostly passive users, ie

Only if you are looking at it on a very short timespan. Those of us that have been VTSAX and chill for the past decade+ are still up plenty. Markets go up, markets go down too. That is why retail investors should buy broad based, low fee, i

This doesn't make any sense and is an incorrect analogy. Trains don't pay residuals to the people that made the train every time someone rides it. Imagine a different world where the people who made trains make most of their money

You think that poor and working class folks pay income taxes? You'd have to pair it with a fully refundable tax credit to make it even somewhat viable, but even then, folks won't care. All they will see is money leaving their pock

I agree with you in concept but in reality go ahead and try passing a gas tax in the US. You will end your political career and you won't get your tax.

You are stealing the residuals of the actors, producers, stuntmen, grips, and all the other folks that help make content. Not everyone is a A-List celeb or director.

You are making an assumption that they are carrying the credit card debt. I pay for nearly everything with a credit card, but I haven't paid interest on a CC in close to a decade.

> Simple example: Social Security is 6.2% on the employer and employee (up to a cap). So if you have a nominal income of $100,000, the employer is really paying you $106,200 and sending $12,400 to the Federal government. > Can't

I would say that this IS impossible for any single individual. The amount of edge cases that software like this needs to capture is enormous and there isn't a single human in the world that could account for all of them. Not to mention

Where do you think all the shares companies offer employees come from? They just make new shares. There is nothing illegal about this as it does everyone equally.

Even this isn't true. Lots of products can and are sold at a loss for various reasons. Some examples: Various video game consoles, grocery store loss leaders, Black Friday doorbuster deals, inventory liquidation.

As to your point about SS, you are right, but the counterfactuals have been measured. We didn't have SS in this country for the majority of its history and elder poverty was terrible prior to its existence, reaching well over 40% in th

Because giving individuals money, targeted or otherwise, is given/spent to enhance an individual or families life in some way. It is a direct benefit to them. And yes, SS is absolutely welfare and it is extremely effective. It reduces

by dlp211 5y ago
You're conflating things like physical infrastructure and defense contracts with welfare. The welfare that we do give, for the most part, is exceptionally well run and effective.

I don't think the vast majority of movie goers are able to tell the difference between Atmos and DTS:X. It's almost certainly a case of the marginal value of going from Atmos to DTS:X doesn't make it worth the cost of going f

I mean, the RAW 4k (or 6k or 8k) footage is typically multiple terabytes (almost 15 TB for 2 hours at 8k). That is then compressed down to under a Terabyte for use in the movie theater (typically 200-800GB depending on features and length),

TBF to 4k UHD, the 4k stream is already being compressed significantly on those discs so every byte that doesn't go to content means that that you are compromising the content just a little bit more. That's also why so many 4k UHD

I don't get this, especially on a website like HN where so many of us build software where the marginal cost approaches zero. It isn't about the cost of implementation, it is about the value added. If you don't want Atmos, do
