did they also work for 8 hours a day in the gulag?

Gulags were the worst kind of exploitation; that is why we always were anti-Stalinist and always identified the USSR as 'state capitalism'! The fact that a state 'claims' socialism does not mean it 'is' socialist, just as North Korea claiming 'democratic' people's republic does not mean it is 'democratic'. Clear?

What about the millions killed in China and Cambodia? When do you look at the system you are proposing and understand it has been a disaster during its slow and inevitable economic implosion?

Not the original poster, but moving classifieds online lost newspapers a whole lot of money, money that previously financed quality journalism, not to mention the people in charge of maintaining the classifieds ads business.

If you are working for the newspaper, your job is a reaction to the death of the original business, and you are the automation that came in their stead

> moving classifieds online lost newspapers a whole lot of money

I was part of the online division of a newspaper. Online classifieds did lose them money, but for my company at least, moving them online was an effort to stop losing all of the money from them.

> you are the automation that came in their stead

Sure. We hired fewer people to answer phones for managing their classified ads, but we hired more people to moderate the site and make sure people weren't posting obscene stuff. And it also employed a handful of software developers.

I'm not convinced it was a total loss. I can't speak to the quality journalism part though

In the last war the US troops were targeted at bases located in friendly countries, not exactly in combat. The upside here is that this is a really good way to get this industry regulated

I wouldn't put any kids through some of the stuff I've seen on IRC

It is pretty harsh when the whole channel uses a text changer script to write upside down. Especially with modern computing... if the remaining person does flip their chromebook so they can see it it might auto rotate and everything is still upside down.

I wouldn't put my IRC friends through some of the stuff I've seen in school. /s

If you run a records company I assume this might be worth some money

As opposed to the publicly available Google Trends data? As opposed to running legitimate market research? Wouldn't you rather know the most searched person in your vertical, market, etc?

The data in this example was going to be made public anyways. All the examples of prediction markets are predicated on them becoming public. You not only need the info, you need the info before it becomes public.

> you need the info before it becomes public.

and that's exactly how the Google engineer made money, right? He knew it beforehand, and once it was made public other people did too

Realtime access to internal Google search data may help you predict a lot of things that might be worth money, for example there's an existing market where companies buy usage estimation for competitors products (not though Google). I don't see why so many people are completely sure this information is worthless

It's not always enough to know what - the why is often important.

For example, d4vd is a famous musician, and search stats may indicate his potential popularity and future record sales.

Or the public may be searching his name to find out more about the body found in his car, and the subsequent murder investigation and arrest.

> For example, d4vd is a famous musician, and search stats may indicate his potential popularity and future record sales.

I wasn't really aware of that as I guess I am not the target demography. However, I can think of multiple ways of making money off this information, I still don't see why people are so sure it is worthless

I think the greater issue in this discussion is that the TechCrunch author, like most blogger/journalists are facing a complete erasure of their business model and have a vested interest at opposing this

isn't avx-512 one of the more poorly supported set?

It's on every amd cpu from zen4 onwards, every remotely recent Intel server cpu, and now again on intel starting with nova lake this year.

In the future, it will be everywhere.

I think the issue is that Intel skipped avx-512 for a few generations, meaning that you can't rely on it being available on your compile targets

thanks for being the voice of reason, however futile it is in a social media scoring system

Treating an obviously racist and xenophobic immigration agenda as good-faith government policy does not help the country. It only serves to lend undeserved legitimacy to a corrupt policy-making apparatus that does not deserve it.

At least everyone gets an RSU
