That's true of all superscalar machines. That's what killed RISC. The original idea of RISC was one instruction per clock and a very simple CPU control section. Early MIPS CPUs realized that.

Then superscalar came to microprocessors with the Pentium Pro. It took 3000 engineers at Intel to design that CPU, but it did much better than one instruction per clock while still handling all the weird cases in x86 instructions. As the fabs improved, the Pentium Pro technology moved to the mainstream. The Pentium II and III were Pentium Pro architecture.

This killed the basic advantage of RISC. The "all instructions the same length" concept really killed it - it meant 2x code bloat. That meant bigger caches or worse cache performance. It meant more RAM and more RAM bandwidth or worse memory performance. The x86 instruction set, for all its faults, is compact.

For the crypto problem, the trouble is that modern crypto algorithms are not branch free. DES was. Vernam was. Rotor machines were. RSA and elliptic curve stuff, no. This is independent of the CPU architecture.
>eating less works for most people

Eating less actually works for all people, it's just hard to commit to. Restricting calories is uncomfortable.
In this case, I'm using classes very loosely - the same applies to methods, and when to break them up into smaller methods.
> It's not exactly a fact.

Yeah, congress only banned SSTs and supersonic civilian flight right as concorde came online, that can't have had any impact on it.
This was my first reaction too, I've been using it for over a year and I had assumed patrons of HN knew all about it. For anyone who isn't familiar, this is a great library for getting machine learning code up and running quickly!
i had to use quickpic since nexus one, mostly because the stock gallery took some 3min to open when i had 1k images on the sd... sadly quick pic now has ton of "cloud" features. only a matter of time until i need an alternative
Is this a thin wrapper over http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/ or does it/will it go beyond that?
That's odd, my slightly older Yamaha (RX-V367) works fine with the chromecast as an HDMI device with no tv hooked up. Wonder why the newer model doesn't like it.
This is correct. I haven't had flash on my computer for nearly a year and I've been able to watch hd youtube videos in firefox.
I'm still holding out that this is an April fools joke
I think that reasoning is at best, shortsighted.

Shareholders are responsible, albeit indirectly, for the corporation they've invested in. If shareholders have a reasonable chance of signfiicant loss of value, then they're more likely to require the company take steps to mitigate that (i.e don't do shady stuff).

As for prosecution of employees for crimes - that, too, is often rarely done, or focuses on the wrong people. Plenty of cases where it was the whistleblower, or someone who was raising red flags that gets the harsher penalty, rather than management who deliberately ignored it and has better paid lawyers to go for some light-weight bs
There are some attempts to get AI Dungeon (GPT-2/3 based game) to generate code. This scenario for example (you need to create an account to launch it): https://play.aidungeon.io/main/scenarioView?publicId=af4a05f....
1. It sends an alert to your phone with the price and easy cancellation. (I was actually surprised at this feature, because I cynically agreed that Amazon would use this to constantly be trying to pull one over on customers.)

2. I also believe it said that repeat clicks will not order until the previous order delivers, which should help somewhat on repeat orders.
That's really interesting. Do you know of any tournaments or communities that purely play that way? If so, did your brother consider moving to them rather than giving it up altogether? How old was your brother when he quit and how strong is "strong"?
But I don't believe that you're really sorry. You just found a convenient way to use the phrase in an attempt to refute my point.
I think the gp was in reference to writing academically, in which case it is often inappropriate to use 'I' as you should be writing in more absolute terms. I never did like that, though, as it makes your writing sound structurally dismissive of alternative viewpoints.
Question is: is it the better and most influential part of kids who want to live in that world? If not, there will be another, better world anyway
I think his point is that an ambitious person, either male or female, tends to try and find a caring and nurturing person as their soulmate and spouse, as a natural way of balancing the family relationships.

It certainly doesn't need to always be males who are ambitious and females who are nurturing; my uncle has been a stay-at-home father for 16 years while his wife has been an ambitious doctor who is always on call.
true, however maybe this is a feature that sets you apart. tracking projects with the people working on them are very important for organizations who care about data discovery (law firms, government agencies)
There is a cost to maintaining the clearance. For Top Secret, I believe every 3 years it needs to be reauthorized. Though I agree with the point that it would have been cheaper to bring back the people who knew the first time - if they remembered. I'm sure a lot of people involved with the project know in general what it is, but the details are the missing problem. If there are no official files, the retirees don't know any better. Who remembers chemical formulations of 1 thing you designed out of hundreds, a couple decades ago?
This is really nice and clean. Personally, I think it's a bad name though. Minus? I appreciate it does "emphasize simplicity and minimalism", but it's got nothing at all to do with images.
Also, it would be even better if you could include some form of federated login so I don't have to sign up.
That article talks about boiling a plastic bag, whereas sous vide is usually no hotter than 140° F.
Something I came up with when deploying updates to hosts that don't support git, for example, a windows server we have RDC into:

alias gdate=date\ +%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S
gitzip () { zip -ruv "$(gdate).zip" $(git diff $@ --name-only); }

Produces a zip file of all files that changed since the commit you pass as the argument. Then I just transfer the resulting zip over, and unzip its contents to the root project folder. Haven't figured out how to deal with deleted files this way yet, fortunately that's not common.

And a pre-commit hook for linting PHP source code when I'm not in an IDE. Yes, this came around because of a few commits made without testing.

#!/bin/sh
exitStatus=0
for i in $(git diff --name-only --staged HEAD); do
[ "$VERBOSE" != "" ] && echo "Validating file $i"
echo "$i"| grep -q '.php$'
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
[ "$VERBOSE" != "" ] && echo "... seems to be PHP, running php lint"
php -n -l "$i"| grep -q 'Errors parsing'
valid=$?
if [ $valid -eq 0 ]; then
echo "File $i is invalid."
exitStatus=1
fi

done
exit $exitStatus
On Ubuntu 10.04 iPhone sync is supported out of the box by Rhythmbox, so this is no more an issue.
I might be a fossil, but this is what I'm using screen/sz for, because that even works if I don't have an SSH daemon running on my local machine.

Configure screen with

zmodem catch

and then ssh to the remote server from inside screen. If you found the file you wanted, issue sz <name of file> on the server. Screen will see the ZModem transfer and ask you where to store the file.
I live in the "Sun City." The sun shines an average of 302 days a year, but I still have trouble keeping a normal schedule. It seems the only way for me to get up early regularly is to have something that requires me to be up early (school/work).
Even though I upvoted you, one of HR's core competencies should be knowledge of employment laws. Since unemployment rates are much higher for blacks, I think if this hiring practice became widespread it could open up these companies to discrimination lawsuits.
i think Trump will go beyond book tours, i think you're going to see "TrumpTV" and serious competition for other traditionally conservative leaning outlets like fox news etc.
>no great bi-partisan agreement was being reached.

No, but it's not like things couldn't be worse, and I don't think that the sort of eliminationist tactics that are being embraced are going to make things better. The left will manage to deplatform the right off of a bunch of major sites but they'll just reconvene elsewhere, out of reach. Will this be good or bad for discourse?
Any pointers on how to learn to do this would be much appreciated.
Skype is also a familiar option for many non-technical folks.

It has syncing, a web client and optional one-to-one encrypted chats.

It also uses Microsoft accounts, which many already have because of Windows integration.
Good. I don't see any point in our Customs engaging in further price speculation.
To be fair a couple of those platforms are being prosecuted for anti-trust issues. It's kinda weird how the final straw was over VR periphals rather than corporate takeover of the public square but I guess the US just has weird priorities
That's not gonna happen. Right now the government/fed essentially "rolls" their debt. They sell $30,000 in treasuries for $29,999, and in 3 months time sell $30,001 in treasuries for $30,000 to buy back the old one. (numbers not to scale, for illustration purposes) This is how the debt increases via the interest rate on treasuries.

The more likely "disaster" scenario is instead of "rolling" they just print, buy and don't issue a replacement treasury.
> "Asking to leave WhatsApp is like cancelling your contract with your ISP and going offline just because you don't like the company."

You can get a contract with a different ISP.

That's what this is about: not doing without messaging completely, but switching to a different messaging service.

My family switched to Signal, and we're quite happy there. I still have Whatsapp because the schools of my children use it.
Right, so you haven't identified what's different about one that makes the FD the right answer in one case.
I don't know why Twitter is the one they all chose. It's unique in restricting the size of posts, maybe that's it?

I don't know what the effect would be. I don't think we can roll the clock back to 1995. But equally given the current situation in the USA I don't think the status quo is sustainable.

If you forced me to give an answer, then I think there should be a 1-hour delay on all tweets. It's the immediacy of the thing that gives it the power. If we just slowed it down then I think it would work better, because human nature.
It's not that I don't agree, it's that it's inconsistent. That explanation doesn't explain Fortnite, for instance.
Most internal commit history is intact in AOSP, including the changes between releases. They just have a complex merging setup that deviates slightly from internal branches.
Politicians are unlikely to because they can better relate to white collar criminals than the poor.

The only solution to this is electing more people from diverse backgrounds (inc. class, race, gender, etc), but unfortunately money is extremely effective at winning democratic elections, and those who have it aren't from a diverse background.
What's the point of Bitcoin if we can store our value in Beanie Babies?
If you're a veteran or the child of a veteran, highly recommend USAA. Tech is fairly good (they had online deposit years before anyone else I was aware of) and the service is unbeatable.
"Gone" as in cleaned up or as in "they disappeared and we have no idea where they are"? Sounds like a mix of both.
The pay for union members could be higher depending on the type of production it is. For large scale television shows, if the show has gone into season 2, 3, etc, the pay scale will increase per season. For commercials and indie projects, it can be the same as non-union rates.

When hiring union members, there's more paperwork to fill out and regulations that the production will have. For example, union members must be paid within a certain timeframe or else there will be late fees the production will need to pay. This is not the case with non-union members. Generally, it is a lot easier and less expensive to hire non-union workers if you can get away with it.
He's so funny and smart, and yet guys like him are one of the bigger obstacles on this planet to accumulating enough capital to finance space exploration. Makes you think...

Colored coins and smart contracts.
That's a good idea that could probably solve the release it to different services at different times issue, but it still doesn't split the exposure of Youtube from its forced monetization that she's having an issue with.
There are at least a half dozen other suitcase tracking devices. Here's one you can buy right now: http://www.amazon.com/Trakdot-Luggage-Tracker/dp/B00KL3ZA4M

One that connected to Uber might be useful. If your luggage comes in on a different flight, it automatically calls a Uber slave to deliver it to wherever you are.
Holy crap, I just realized this is why I've pasted the text instead of URL all these years!
> Mr Cook told the shareholders meeting that the acquisitions are mostly aimed at acquiring technology and talent

What’s the median acquisition size? Heck, what’s the 75th percentile?

I’d bet most of these acquisitions are of lifestyle businesses with few/no paths to scale. Probably just aimed at the tech teams or execs.

Nothing much to see here
Agreed, for a community always linking stories blasting 60 hour work weeks, I find the dick measuring of commits a bit dissonant.
How exactly can he check it? As a user of another OS, I'm asking to learn how this feature actually works.
That's a very interesting proposal. Just as the miners have an incentive to protect the integrity of the blockchain, they also have an incentive to bolster public confidence, and a "community bailout" via 51% consensus could do that.

On the other hand, it would uncomfortably remind people of the power that belongs to the miners (and particularly, the mining pools). It would open up the possibility of attepting to build political coalitions and proactively voting on blockchain policies (which might be inevitable anyway). It would also create a deep moral hazard, incentivizing future risky behavior from big actor, who then seek "bailouts", just like the conventional banking system that crypto-anarchs are trying so badly to differentiate from.

I wouldn't expect the community to do such a thing, but at the end of the day, the miners decide.
You don't understand, it's not about "probably" it's about absolute. Just because a 3rd party probably won't do anything that could harm me doesn't mean that I should trust them for any reason. This is one of the main points of the free in free software.

It's not about tin-foil hats or being uptight, it's about my-personal-data-privacy and network-user-best-privacy-practices.

At this point, you either don't get it, or you don't think I should have the right to absolute data privacy if and purely because I want it.
According to Roger Vin's hostage video, there were "dozens" by July 2013.

Looks neat. You might need a threshold in changes made. Seems like most websites have small irrelevant things that change on every visit. Like number of comments on techcrunch, or a timestamp in the code, resulting in a screenshot on every try.
P(tool developed w/ science is effective) > P(tool developed w/o science is effective)

Agreed, but there was no claim to science, at least from the description.

To me the original article seemed to air an opinion.
Asking 'where's the science?' is akin to asking for proof, which makes no sense when we're discussing opinions.

To me, "it's unproven" is just unfavorable opinion without articulating reasons. So I don't think it should get a vote in edw's comment :)

(upvoted you, btw. You were at -1. Downvoting such a high-quality comment is a classic example of voting by agreement. I think I'm going to start a site highlighting the stupidest votes on HN everyday..)
I love Beanstalk!

I just cancelled my account, but only because I'm shutting down the associated business. I definitely plan on moving back when I have something that requires secure, awesome external SVN hosting again.
We have Calibre, Calibre can convert all your ebooks for different e-readers.
Right, but even if there are corrupt government employees and you are discriminated by the government (employees), you have always the option to take legal actions.

In some countries you can't take legal actions that easy, especially against the government.

Here's another example (coincidentally it's Belarus again):

I'm not really sure how a startup is going to disrupt that.

Well one way would be to convert the dollar amount to something else: show how many lives could be saved if the money were spent differently.
> I had to guess at why people were downvoting me because they weren't saying.

And you guessed "they're downvoting me because they're pedophiles?"

Maybe people aren't responding to you because they feel that from your initial frame on the topic and your decision to frame opponents on it as bad people, no fruitful discussion with you can be had.
Yep. If the "red, white and blue" TubeShift icon, the "Ditch Big Tech" tagline, and the link to the far-right video hosting platform BitChute weren't loud enough dog whistles, this one is.
On reddit just have a repost bot, then a mini upvote swarm, then use it as a guise to make realistic human interaction.

Have your bots come through and copy a similar on-topic, joke or pun thread from a previous repost of that same content.

It is for SEO/narrative purposes, online account farming. More posts from social media corps about defeating this ecosystem would move no deescalate the situation. The "paid ad" requirement for influencers was one step forward in the same fight
If you believe what you think, you can be vocal unless you're a coward. Someone will likely be shot today because they wouldn't renounce some belief. Privacy advocates are not winning my sympathy in claiming that being watched all the time as opposed to being shot is bending what they are willing to say.
Accidental acceleration will have a whole new set of consequences.

No-one has topped motor assist on a bicycle yet. It's fun and useful to be able to move 20+ mph all day without being a top-notch athlete (or while wearing business clothes).
Power wheelchairs are better, comfortable and ergonomic.

But then you'll look like a crippled.

So take a La-z-boy and add power wheels to it. Then sell it for $999.
It really depends on what you're selling and to whom.

I sell consulting services on a business to business (b2b) basis. I do a reasonably ok job but I'm not an out and out sales guy.

It sounds to me like you need to get a better idea of what you're going to sell and to whom before you look at how. For example:

What's your route to market? (Cold calls? Mailshots? SEO? Form signups?)

Who are you selling to? (SMEs? Enterprise businesses? Teenagers?)

What are you unique selling points (USPs)? (Price? Quality? Uniqueness?)

From there you can start looking at theory, things like the 4Ps, Sales funnels etc. depending on your answers.

Some things that have worked for me:

I think it's wrong to assume flickr represents the camera market. Not everyone care about putting their pictures online, those who care get an iphone/android/whatever. So of course iphone is trending on flickr.
But the mass market of consumers still buy un-connected point&shoot cameras and small non-smart phones.

Thats the error nobody ever see in the MAD scenario - until the missiles are launched, it is absolutely in the interest of both sides to threaten to launch in the event the other side does so.

The moment the missiles are launched however, the side that didn't launch no longer has any advantage to launching a counter strike (assuming an all out strike was launched, not just one with a few missiles) and the leaders have every advantage to broker a deal for refuge in the other country, as theirs will soon be uninhabitable.
I took accounting from a guy who used to be a used car salesman. He told me that most customers are focussed only on the monthly payment. They simply did not care what the price was, just that monthly payment.
Doesn't seem so crazy. I mean, just look at how popular musicians are with women!

It doesn't entirely make sense to me from the female point of view, but from the male point of view being artistic (in this case musical) makes a lot of sense in Darwinian terms!
We're in a cheap money environment and tech companies are sitting on piles of cash they're genetically predisposed not to distribute back to shareholders. There's only one place for it to go: acquisitions. Meaning we see more deals at higher valuations. It doesn't reflect anything fundamental.

Reading through the Disclaimer and Introduction, it seems that a 'How To Write Reference Articles' might be in order. It's almost as if the article is a parody; the how-to that admins sometimes wish they could point their users at.

2010

565 room (5 ppl in one apt but in separate rooms)

800 car all in (I drove a bmw, wasteful luxury)

600 food (ate out all the time, wasteful luxury)

50 utilities (gas and internet were included in rent)

100 entertainment (not much time)

That’s about 2400 in 2019 dollars and if I had gotten a cheaper car or taken public transit like most students there would have been plenty of savings.

My partner and I got dna tests before beginning on the path of procreation. We were making a decision that affected a human being that would have no input on its coming into existence. We owe it to a child we would come to respect and love to be very conscious in every aspect of its life including its genetic viability.

Less than rational thought in such a matter, I believe is very selfish and unkind to a life that I may create.

I understand this isn't the normal way of thinking on the issue, but I wish it was more common.
