shdh··on Germany fines YouTube for removing video of anti-lockdown protest
It would be interesting to apply a varying degree of regulation based on an organizations size/revenue.

Startups less regulation, global conglomerates more regulation.

Define failure
shdh··on List price for stitches at Stanford Health Care: $93K
The fact that there isn't price transparency into all procedures at all facilities is a true market failure. Facilities are incentivized to to maintain opaque pricing so they can gouge.

My advise is to respond to the bill and let them know you'll only willing to pay $200 and that's all you can afford. Negotiations with these predatory billers go a long way.

shdh··on PostgreSQL, Memory and the Cloud
GCP CloudSQL has a lot of issues. There was one with query insights being enabled causing segfaults on `LEFT JOIN` operations. Its since been patched, but really shitty.

Do you mean actors? I kinda hate how they’re always referred to as processes.

shdh··on Overcoming Tab Overload
I also use a window and the tabs within it similarly to the OP of this thread. They're usually used to complete a task and then the entire window gets closed.

Bookmarks for frequently visited recurring links.

Bookmarks that I visit multiple times a day (Calendar, Email, etc) get pinned.

shdh··on Quake3e, a modern Quake III Arena engine
Another thing is the skill disparity between median and ceiling player-skills is very far.

Many players often get accused of cheating in Quake, but they're just really good.

shdh··on Quake3e, a modern Quake III Arena engine
https://github.com/TTimo also cared about open sourcing these engines

You can still play standalone mods with q3e or ioq3 and not need baseq3.
shdh··on California population declines for first time in more than a century
Seems to me like you’re simply describing the average person.

Look at software engineer salaries in Vancouver, pretty rough.
shdh··on SpaceX test flight of Starship SN-5 [video]
Could you share a source for this quote?
shdh··on SpaceX test flight of Starship SN-5 [video]
> improving the collective opportunity to live life without suffering

You cannot eliminate suffering.

> Life will go on in other parts of the universe, and all life, no matter where they locate themselves, will have some kind of existential threat.

There's no guarantee or evidence that there is sentient life in the universe

shdh··on SpaceX test flight of Starship SN-5 [video]
Just to add clarification, Falcon Heavy uses the Merlin engine, not the Raptor engine.

Then you have to introduce another system (SABRE) and integrate it with your system instead of just using the same Raptor engines being used in the second stage vehicle.
shdh··on Huawei builds up 2-year reserve of 'most important' US chips
Rare Earth metals aren't actually rare. China just extracts them and places them in the market for the lowest price.

And yet no one discussed the idea.

Big clue for what?
shdh··on Ampere Altra 80-core ARM CPU
I disagree.

More chips per wafer results in more yield, less chips with potential flaws.

> Dr. Hansch’s research at Universitat Munchen for example, shows how as die size increases manufacturers realize an accelerating yield loss and thus accelerating manufacturing cost. Using their model, assuming best-case defect densities, AMD’s small chiplet approach achieves 90% yields vs. Intel’s 30%-40% yields from its large, monolithic die approach. [1]

shdh··on Ampere Altra 80-core ARM CPU
The larger the die the greater the likelihood of defects. Also the larger the number of defects per mm/sq.

Have we actually seen investment though? Or have we seen mostly stock buybacks?
