<p>This aligns with my limited personal power tool owning experience. Milwaukee is pretty consistently good quality and their high capacity lithium batteries are expensive but worth the price. My $100 Ryobi electric power washer is also still going strong after a couple years of ownership.<p>Craftsman is a shell of its former self, tools are complete garbage imo and you're better off buying cheap tools from Harbor Freight at that point.</p>

<p>How so? I don't have an account but I am able to read the entire paper directly from the OP's link, is there some sort of free limit or something that I have yet to hit? I get some banner ads served on their site but I'm not seeing how it isn't open access.</p>

<p>> Maybe I don't understand journalism but this guy being a reporter, shouldn't he have had an editor reviewing his work before they hit publish?<p>While the journalist is still responsible for their own actions, I agree with you that this being published in the first place is indicative of a deeper failure akin to - "if a junior dev accidentally deletes your production db on their first day that's on the company itself"</p>

<p>You're not a failure. I graduated 2009 with a computer engineering degree (not quite as prestigious as MIT but a decent school) and basically did odd jobs and freelance for several years until I finally got my foot in the door at a tech company and my career took off from there.<p>1. Stop doomscrolling - this is imperative. Almost nothing good will come from it and ends up being a vicious cycle for any depression you are experiencing.<p>2. Even if it's embarrassing, keep talking to your old classmates. Ask about job openings or anything. The easiest way to get a job is through an internal reference, otherwise your application may never even be seen by the hiring manager.<p>3. Exercise, do some sort of physical activity - even going for a short walk outside every day will help improve your mental health.<p>4. Find a personal project to work on and commit time to it that would have otherwise spent doomscrolling. It is good mental exercise and it's also good for job hunting - you may not have prior job experience but a personal Git portfolio showcasing your skills is definitely something good employers will look at.</p>

<p>> Pub landlords seeking to introduce dynamic pricing may get a better response if they try and alter the drinkers's perception in a similar way. Presenting price changes as being cheaper during off-peak times are likely to be viewed as a gain from the drinkers' perspective.<p>I have been to a bar that did something like this from over a decade ago and it was a popular venue.<p>The bar menu prices function like a basic stock market - the more any one drink is ordered the price goes up by some increment. Conversely, every X minutes that a drink isn't ordered, the price goes down.<p>edit, found it - <a href="https://thetipsycrow.com/drink-exchange/" rel="nofollow">https://thetipsycrow.com/drink-exchange/</a></p>

<p>But it's a cascading effect, OpenAI gobbled up all of DDR5 production to the point that consumers are choosing to upgrade their older DDR4 systems instead of paying even more to upgrade to a new system that uses DDR5.

<p>To further your point, a used 5800X3D still goes for ~$300 when you can get a brand new 7800X3D for the same if not slightly cheaper (was on sale at MC for $280). I assume the high cost of DDR5 is pushing more people to not upgrade to AM5 and stay on AM4 for as long as possible. And most people are avoiding Intel chips out of principle after the chip degradation debacle - you can see that based on how much lower Intel motherboards are even though they have considerably better feature sets than the AMD equivalents.</p>
