Owning doesn't mean having absolute control.

For example, if you own land on the California coast, you may be prohibited from shutting down public access to the coastline. If you own a house, you may be prohibited from kicking out renters.

"Neo-feudalism" has an interesting observation. In Sweden, Norway, and Finland there is still a "freedom to roam." A land owner can't simply prohibit people from entering to go hiking, pick berries or mushrooms, camp overnight, etc. These countries also didn't have feudalism. One conjecture is that there's a meaningful connection between the two. The idea of "you own it, the end" may itself be neo-feudalism.
I should have clarified - it should be a no brainer for employers to _offer_ it, not make it mandatory
The problem is not that data scientists don't know this.

The problem is always one of finding the right "stranger" whose footsteps can be walked in.

Or in the case of really huge models, it's a case of cost-benefit calculation so that you don't walk in more footsteps than you can afford.
It's not pointless from a usability perspective, just pointless from a security perspective.
This is a really neat project OP, and I hope you can make enough money to sustain development. I really, really wish academia did a better job of sponsoring people to maintain high quality software libraries, so you didn't have to 'strike out' on your own though.
Yep, it's got 32 GPRs, with #0 hardwired to the constant 0.

And the lowRISC project is looking into adding two tag bits with a focus on practical security for languages like C, but with the ability to use them for things like GC.

Largest nits I see about the RISC-V ISA is no support for integer math error checking aside from divide by zero (a New Jersey design), and per a slide set I found for the January workshop, the work in progress 64 bit VMM mode will only support 43 bits of address space, i.e. "only" 8 TiB, vs. e.g. the 256 TiB of x86-64. Which of course is rather a lot, but I find it uncomfortably close to the DRAM you can put on current systems with Intel CPUs; I've watched this game way too many time in my career.
> there's also an equitibilty element to that risk...

You already said this, and while I'd like to see more data, I don't outright disagree with the premise that low-wage workers might drive more in personal vehicles.

And you didn't address my point that, if you think these workers should be subsidized, there are better, more direct ways than through insurance companies. Could be a minimum wage, tax credits for vehicles driven for work, better regulations around personal vehicles used for work.
It sometimes seems that Google uses open-source as more of a marketing ploy than a commitment to respecting user freedom. Why doesn't Google (first) fully open-source the entire Android platform before worrying about "silicon"?
This would of course include all of their apps (e.g. GMail, Google Maps, Docs, etc.) as well as the Playstore Framework.

It is hard for me to take their words all that seriously when they are holding back some of the most important pieces from their users.

Ditto for Microsoft.
Yes, I meant non-residential, and also not AWS. The problem with AWS is that a lot of spammers use it, and so a lot of AWS IP addresses get tainted. If you go with a smaller ISP that charges more it's less likely that their clients will be spammers. But to be fair, I've never tried running a mail server on AWS. It's possible that you could do it and not have any problems, I don't actually know. It's probably an experiment worth doing.
But they have to grind because they lack the experience to fall into those traps in the first place.
Maybe its similar to what happens sometimes with young deaf children whose parents are deaf? The parents sometimes refuse to get cochlear implants for the child that would give the child normal or near normal hearing, on the grounds that they want the child to grow up fully in "deaf culture".

Many who have been deaf all their lives, as opposed to those who lost their hearing as adults, view deafness as just a difference, not as a disability to be cured or fixed, apparently similar to the way most see race and ethnicity. Telling them they need to "fix" their child's hearing apparently to them is like, say, telling a Jewish family they need to raise their kids Christian.

Achondroplasia has a hereditary component, so there will be families where both parents have it and their child has it, and they have many relatives with it. I would not be surprised if some of them feel that there is an achondroplasia culture, and it is wrong to "fix" a child to make them fit non-achondroplasia culture.
> Competitive salary for the area.

> We can't find anyone worth interviewing right now

How can both statements be simultaneously true.
This sounds like a problem in interviewing practices.

Why waste time interviewing incompetent people?

Just ask for code samples (github, stackoverflow, anything else) and make a 5-minute screening call via Skype to filter out incompetent people.
I think it's pretty intuitive once your attention is called to the issue. The specific numbers aren't even that important. The general principle is that a screening test for any condition that is rare compared to the error rate isn't going to be very useful due to the large number of false positives. And most severe conditions we want to know about are rare.
Great visualization. My guess is certain groups are more likely to be public about their opposition while other groups work in more clandestine ways. I noticed that more moralist groups (environment, human rights, conservative) tend to have higher opposition rates than economic groups. For example oil companies probably don't want to be public about their opposition to environmental protection.
This. I suspect that far fewer people buy phones/laptops/gadgets based purely on specs and price, which is all that's on display here. For pure commodities this makes total sense (the SSD and flash drives charts are awesome), but consumer gadgets are much harder to differentiate in such a rigidly quantifiable way.
Related--the "commonly used" address is different from the "official" address. When I moved into my current house, it's official USPS address differed from what many of the local service people thought was the address (and, indeed, what many maps showed to be the address).

In these days of GPS--and just the passage of time--it's not a problem any longer. But for the first five years or so I lived in the house, I had to be careful to explain the situation to people coming to the house.
"Do some arbitrary stuff, that doesn't make any sense as an analogy. Oh, look! You just learned the lambda calculus!"

Is this an art project satirising computer science?
It's real but even Hayden openly said that it wasn't the main reason for surveillance.
Damon, please share your story. It could help a lot of people.
But, How are they going to reach that price point? Specially since they are not going to produce them, and at least this model is pretty ordinary hardware(runs an Atom, not an ARM CPU). And, why manufacturers would want to canibalize their already tight margins on netbooks?

Besides, most people I know, would pay 100$ for the ability of running a "real" OS.
Perhaps, but remember that chlorine is meant to kill germs, so it must also have a negative impact on the fermentation process; yeast are just good germs, after all.
> The world’s population is expected to increase to 9.1 billion by 2050 ... Feeding all those people will mean increasing food production by 70%

According to the World Bank we're already at almost 6.8 billion people. This means we'd need to feed an extra 33% of the worlds population, meaning we'd need approximately 33% more food as our food usage already factors in losses from production, delivery, etc.

The only way you get 70% is if you made 9.1 the divisor when it is the dividend. You take where we will be 9.1, divide it by where we are 6.8 and you get how much more production we need 33% (IE 133% of present). If 9.1 is the divisor you get ~75%, more likely 70% as this will have been based off of a few year older (but likely slightly more accurate) population counts.

So, to put it simply, a whole bunch of people in the UN can't do basic math.

> Soil erosion will not be a problem because the food will be grown hydroponically—in other words, in a solution of minerals dissolved in water.

In other words - it will taste like nothing. Ever tried a hydroponically grown tomato? Ever tried one after eating a local vine ripened or even a home grown tomato? If you have, I bet you never tasted the hydroponic tomato.

I've eaten hydroponic tomatoes over the past decade and never noticed a difference or improvement, so how long before its actually edible, and actually worth purchasing? I even frequently see the hydroponic tomatoes to be paler and more tasteless than even the cheap tomatoes imported from half way across the country that were picked weeks before ripeness.

I like what you said here. Contrary to what people seem to think...these "be all, end all" services and sites aren't suited to very particular and niche markets.

It's funny because there are so many people on HN and Reddit, for example, who don't capitalize on creating small niche services because there's already a Flickr, or already a Youtube and whathaveyou.

So I think you've done a good job here.

I think you could probably market $10 better. Remove the struck out $20 and just prominently and proudly display the $10.

As a risky marketing move, how about refunding all users who paid $20 the difference? What a great way to get them talking about you on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when you deposit their account with $10. It's a nice surprise.

Just an idea. Good luck.
I think what could add value to this, if the focus was on taking a picture of yourself - from your laptop's webcam or something. Then you could do some basic facial recognition to align the pictures, centering the face, and slideshow that.

When you include an outside (=on a server not controlled by you) source, that outside source now gets the IP address - which is considered personal identifiable data in the EU context - a timestamp, and a referrer. This allows Google to track users over different sites that use, for example, google-hosted webfonts. Strictly speaking, you must not.

That doesn't apply to a-links, because using those implies users made an active decision to load that resource, and thus consent.

We've stopped using outside resources for that exact matter. In many european websites today, you see extra steps being necessary before other external ressources (which includes embedded Youtube videos) are loaded - for an example of that, see https://www.heise.de/make/meldung/Wenn-die-Band-bastelt-Murm...

We host locally on our own servers. It's one of those typical "tragedy of the commons" situation in which one bad actor kills a good thing (in this case: caching).
I dunno about cheph, but I feel Signal and Whatsapp are identical. There is literally no difference between the products in any way. In fact Whatsapp has some extra features on it.

But nineteen is just "nine and ten" with the "and" removed.

Almost every time I talked to pseudo nt gurus, IOCP was mentioned as something nt did and linux don't. Now, io_uring seems to have finally closed the gap.
Linux containers and equivalent technologies are virtualisation (specifically OS virtualisation[1]), just not a VM. Hardware virtualisation (VMs) isn't the only kind of virtualisation that exists.

IIRC this is possible but violates their EULAs for MacOS and likely the DMCA. So if you plan on using it commerically then you may be risking the entire business.

>Combined with UK media making stuff up about the EU (bendy bananas).

Not just the media but the Prime Minister himself. He even gave a speech where he admitted to making up a story about the EU wanting to ban prawn cocktail crisps.

Of course, he did also get fired from his job as a journalist for blatantly lying.
I have no idea what kind of compute power something like this relies on. Would this be able to run on a consumer desktop?

It offends all those who are patriotic to America no matter who or how the government is. Remember this came out in the 70s when the sayings were Love it or Leave it.

Also when the concept is paired with imagery of a Nuclear Iran, you can’t help but feel attacked.
They do the same thing at Whole Foods with their 365 brand.
No, I'm saddened that people spend hours to support hardware from companies that go against users freedoms.

We should work on what matters: free software, open hardware.
The difference is that while most advertisements show people happily using a product, this one shows people becoming happy merely from the act of purchasing. I also got a very uneasy "consumer junkie" vibe from it.

Of course, it's in Amazon's best economic interest to normalize and associate good feelings with the ideas of endless consumption and perpetually repeating purchasing.

There has been Zero meaningful change after Snowden's leaks.
This means essentially that that NSA routinely spies on all Americans, scoops up all communications Worldwide, runs various programs to undermine the Security of computer & Internet systems and acts like a massive advanced persistent threat.

Imagine the same story with "After Snowden, the <biggest illegal hacker club worldwide> Faces Recruitment Challenge" Not surprising if you think that most bright people have a somewhat evolved moral compass.
It's been defined ever since the original ANSI C, which said this in the definition of free():

Nice idea but I don't think it applies in this situation.
Have you ever considered using a time-logging application before? Quite a few exist. Some consultants use them to keep track of how many hours they spend working on each project, so they can bill properly.

I'm working on my own productivity tool based on the Pomodoro Technique. If you don't know it, the technique talks about working in stretches of 25 minutes, and recording everything you work on so you can have nice "logs" at the end of the week detailing how much work you got done per day, etc. We're building a webapp that makes working with the technique easier.

I'd be very interested in your opinion on whether this might be something you're interested in, and also on what features might make you use it. For example, we're definitely considering doing an OhLife style email every day, both telling you how much work you did that day, and letting you email new tasks to get done, etc.

Anyway, if you can talk with me and answer some questions, I'd me much obliged. Feel free to reply or to email me: edan@yenhq.com.
Except that it's not blind and it's not faith.

We generally have some idea of what's in the black boxes we use, and we are always open to change our beliefs based on new evidence ("faith" is a belief that will stay the same no matter what evidence is presented: in Bayesian terms it is a belief with a prior of 0 or 1, neither of which can be changed by any evidence.)

"Hopeful" or "optimistic" programming might be better.
I'm surprised they haven't integrated WhatsApp and messenger into one app (or platform) yet. Why?
I don't think you'll get anything officially Linux "supported" unless you got for one of Dell's developer "Sputnik" laptops that comes with Ubuntu installed.

But I have had no problems installing Linux on older Acer and Asus laptops (with very minor driver tweaks post-installation). I'm not sure, however, if that has changed for the better or for worse with newer Windows laptops.
I've lost ~20lbs since I first started drinking Soylent. My longest stretch of a 100% Soylent diet was for 2 weeks when I first got it last August. I lost ~8lbs during that time. I was mixing one pouch with enough water to make 4 pints. I would have 1 pint for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So I was getting ~1500 calories a day. From Thanksgiving into the New Year, I hardly drank any Soylent. And the scale was certainly ready to remind of that. I managed to undo much of my weight loss as a result. At the beginning of this year I added exercise to my routine. Since that first 2 week stretch last year, I've gone as much as a week at a time. But typically, I will do 2-3 days of 100% Soylent, then have a solid dinner one night. Some times stuff gets in the way and I'll not have Soylent for a day or two. It varies week to week. I'm a bit of an emotional eater so when things get hectic or stressful, I crave crappy food. So there are days when I've just said "F it... I'm getting pizza." So Soylent is not going to be some magic diet drink that will give you willpower you didn't already have. :)
Can such standard also include setting the default for echoing the password? Seeing that I have entered ### for a 5 character password is perfectly adequate. But for a 17 character password, echoing ######### does not give me useful feedback where I am or allow me to meaningfully edit mistakes.

Yeah, if I am projecting my screen in front of an audience of 300, I do not want my password echoed. But when I am using my mobile phone, getting feedback is far more useful than guarding against someone reading my screen.
the fact that important topics like these appear on tech sites like this one is incredibly positive. a good question is: what can the tech industry and culture actually do about it? lots, and way more than it is doing, is one opinion.
> That means that the limit for how much food we can get is due to the number of farmers, not the amount of acres

I think a pretty serious limit would be that most plants need space, you can only fit a limited number of a crop in an acre and after a certain (fairly low) point having more farmers would not help anything.
eh, you just end up having to parse

AFAIK the Pixel is one of the best around this class, but it's a bit more expensive at 1000 USD.
I don't get it.

They attack the PSN and XBox networks. Kim Schmitz gives them 3000 vouchers for Mega to save christmas (what?) and/or the world. Then they claim, he's the reason they stopped the attacks.

And then they target their next victim.
My point is: one might not like Kim but he is way too smart to expect such a barter to be successful.

So, given his own background, what makes him this? A stupid hero? Or is there a much smarter option?
Addendum to #3: Motivation is necessary but not sufficient in software development; it is one of the professions that really does have minimum cognitive capability and working memory requirements, which current research shows to be highly nonplastic via education or training. Genes matter.
I knew about Apple programs being in Pascal, but the whole OS ? did they resort to inline asm ?
Fixing the H1-B program so that it's harder to game would probably be a great help. H1-B workers also should be given a way to voice complaints or report abuse without fear of repercussions from their host companies.

But not sure that reforming H1-B will be an easy battle to fight. Many of the companies that have large H1-B workforces are also very politically connected and stand to lose a lot of money.
Sure they do, but someone who bought a Roaster in 2008 surely has it paid off by now. However unlike every other manufacturer that forgets about the vehicles it used to make (unless there's a recall), Tesla is improving existing products.

I have a 2004 SUV with a 7" satnav in it and some god-awful software package. Does Acura offer an upgrade path for this? Other than a way to update the roads database, no. Buy a new SUV.
> ut, if I'm an entry-level, US-based programmer, what I see are floods of cheap talent, some with questionable skills, coming over to compete for my job.

I don't understand this dichotomy. Why would companies here go out of their way to hire cheap labor of questionable skill outside the U.S.?? Bad cheap labor is easy to find. Call up a recruiter and say "I need 20 horrible programmers", they're not going to say "oh wow that's a tough one".

Either you think: 1. Outside labor is good and thus I should be scared for my job, BUT those people legitimately deserve to be working here and are net positive for their employers, or 2. Outside workers aren't good and so what difference does it make if they compete with me here? I'm already competing with a saturated market of bad workers and if companies are stupid enough to hire them it'll work itself out -- they're not really competing with me.
So just to be clear, if we have more Doctors & Lawyers, so their wages decrease, and the cost of receiving medical care or getting legal help goes down, this would be bad for everyone?
Would an optimizing compiler be able to understand these chains such that it would be a net gain on execution time?
We'll just have to see on that - it depends a lot on how many times the 1st stage can be reused, how much the refurbishment costs, and what the risk involved is. The first launch is pretty low-risk at this point, but how risky is the tenth launch on the same 1st stage?

IIRC, they are on record as wanting to eventually recover the 2nd stage as well. It's a much tougher problem though - the 2nd stage has much higher velocity at engine cutoff, its engine is a variant designed to operate in vacuum and reportedly can't be made to operate in the atmosphere easily, and any additional hardware added to the 2nd stage has a much higher penalty on the rocket's performance than on the 1st.

In your example, there is a person that is arrested and convicted of a crime. I don't believe this is changing. The part of civil asset forfeiture that people are upset about is when the property is seized without anyone being convicted of a crime.
