The thing is, you may enjoy it, but I not so much. I read Shakespeare and Montaigne and they had not impress me as much as some recent hard s-f did. I really like reading books and I see that Dostojewski's, or Hemingway's, or Kafka's etc books are really good, because I have read enough books in my life to be able to distinguish good writers from bad ones to a certain degree, nevertheless reading their books does not give me as much pleasure as reading hard s-f sometimes does, and this is the reason I read books at all -- to feel good. Some people may (and surely do) take pleasure in deconstructing classical writers to pieces, or learning from them what was the zeitgeist back then, or finding hidden senses, but all these things are not for me. That's why I don't think that "you should read authors XXX and YYY, because it is good for the development of your literary taste" is a wise thing to say -- it surely may be, but this may not be the point of reading.
If you have a public facing server then this can be had for free:

ssh -nNT -R 8080:localhost:3000 myserver.com

Et voilà, myserver.com:8080 now points to localhost:3000.
Instead of giving this error, there needs to be a message that explicitly tells the user what's wrong. Something like:

"Woops, you said your server was running on port <port>. Is it?"
The major difference is the risk profile of the decisions (although the time horizon might ultimately be the same): both Amazon and Apple were more mature (and significantly older, larger orgs, brand awareness, etc) running B2B and B2C businesses, while Snowflake is less than 10 years old and not well known outside some circles
That's only for the xbox one; the 360 was very nearly the only implementation of the wireless USB standard.
I've experienced a 2x speedup when porting tight loops from JS to WASM. In my case, my tasks are decompression and texture decoding. I initially ported to C, and then ported to AssemblyScript, being careful to manually manage the memory along the way.

The old code was also very "tight-loop" code that's just math, and no GC allocation, so it's not applicable to many people here yet, and it's possible that JS interpreters have improved since when I ported (GC behavior has gotten quite noticeably better in V8 in the last two years), but I'll take the speedups I can get.

“It didn’t use standard parts” is a silly criticism of a personal computer in 1985; to a first approximation there were no standard parts yet, as MS-DOS/x86 was still in the process of driving CP/M-80 out of the commodity system marketplace. Even keyboard layouts weren’t fully settled: Look at the layout of the Amiga 1000 keyboard vs Atari ST and the later Amiga models.

And monitors were always different—though you weren’t actually limited to Commodore, any 15kHz analog RGB display would work!—because resolutions were always advancing. Expecting to use (say) a CGA monitor with Amiga is just silly, it’s insufficient for the output. You could also always use composite out or an RF modulator if you really had to use a different display that wasn’t 15kHz analog RGB.

Finally, one of Commodore’s big selling points for Amiga was PC compatibility: One of the pieces of launch software was official Amiga-badged PC XT emulation software, and one of the pieces of launch hardware was a 5.25in PC-compatible floppy drive. Commodore explicitly promoted that you could exchange documents with and even run MS-DOS, unlike most other systems at the time.
And they will be commodities in less than 10 years. What is the range that would cover 99.99% of use cases? 500 miles/800km? After that it's just a bragging number. Tesla will release new model S that can do it. It took them 10 years of optimisation to achieve this number.
As a 20 person startup we have a KMS with only two authorized users. Seems like SolarWinds tried pretty hard to be hacked.
"On a remote peninsular in the Arctic circle, enormous wounds are appearing in the permafrost and have started to worry scientists.

It certainly appears .org has been "lifted".

Maybe a broader look at corruption within ICANN is needed.
Holy shit, the creator of GUN lurks HN? Huge fan.

Super cool, I first used the library back in 2015-ish and I remember being blown away by how innovative and unique it was.

I'm working on a serverless, distributed P2P compute network that's basically a PubSub event queue/job system using some hacks on top of Dat protocol right now for a side project.

Do you think I might be able to use or leverage GUN instead?
Absolutely. He was strongly opposed to monopolies and cartels, and I believe he even argued for what basically amounts to labor unions. He was incredibly prescient.
How many -b bits did you specify for ssh-keygen?

Which is fair. A lot of FOSS devs, however, do. And then they still try to pull "it's free" as an excuse for a poor product.

There are a bunch, but as a B2B salesperson (not a marketer), I've heard of these.

And re-reading your sub-comment. If you are looking on resources for the B2B industry as a whole, the only thing I know about is SaaStr.com - it's very actionable info, not research.
Has it though? We've been seeing meteoric improvements in low power applications and in specialized processing packages like GPUs, TPUs and SBUs.

That desktop CPU performance has slowed down is more a sign to me of fundamental challenges with the architecture (e.g., gains at the cost of isolation as in Specter and Meltdown), not process challenges.

So I think maybe this is story for folks who have interest in AMD vs. Intel, which is reasonable, but it's not particularly exciting except from a vendor diversity standpoint.
Hetzner Cloud > 1y OK.

Had to clean up IP from two or so blacklists.
> People do things for lots of reasons outside of money or generating surplus.

They are able to choose to do those things because capitalism has created massive surpluses that allow people to survive on a relatively small amount of labor. This creates a surplus that can be directed towards leisure or given to the less fortunate.

> Capitalism doesn't fuel everything.

Its true there are a handful of susbsistence level societies that do not rely on capitalism for anything but they are in danger of being assimilated and exterminated. [0]

> The problem isn't social norms. The problem is untethered capitalism allows concentrations of wealth and power with no check on it.

While I disagree with you that is an accurate statement of the facts; surely you can see that allowing concentrations of wealth is a social norm that you consider to be a problem.

> Those capitalists then stoke fascism to retain power once material conditions have decayed enough due to that concentration of wealth.

The material conditions that result from capitalism are widespread prosperity; conditions deteriorate when the oligarchs convince you to allow them to use the government to redistribute the wealth of the middle class.

another, which may be a hard pill to swallow if you've been 'good at math' all your life is:

- go to office hours and don't be afraid to ask for help from your TA and classmates.
Aside from the learning the theory a lot of being good at math(s) is pattern matching type stuff and the intuition that goes with it. I suppose this is what the author is getting at, practice, practice....

"Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them." - Jon von Neuman

Like many conversations, this conflict was only a result of miscommunication.
bdclimber14 that is a great suggestion.
I would focus on trying to figure out a way to translate all of those "Happy B-Day" posts on facebook into people giving $1 towards a gift and making that process as seamless as possible. Then I'd call it something like GiftMePlease.com. That's exciting, translating all of those comments into $$$.
Oh, that was my favorite thing about working at HP. The conversations!

"Where do you work?"

"HP"

"Oh, I have a problem with my printer/laptop"

"Actually, I work on superdome specific optimizations for the HPUX compiler."

"So why does printer ink cost so much?"

Point to a real production cryptocurrency using proof-of-stake right now. All the big ones are still using PoW and we're what, over a decade in to the history of cryptocurrency?

Once even one of the major chains is on Proof of Stake or Proof of Space or something we can talk about how associating cryptocurrency with PoW is unfair. AFAIK the closest we've come is that Ethereum people started experimenting with proof of stake in December? Things like that are progress but don't do anything to put a dent into the massive electricity and resource squeezes being created by cryptocurrencies.
I completely agree. For many tasks the command line sequence of add, commit, push may be sufficient, but sometimes I don't care to wade through my editor merging and selecting portions of diffs to commit. The GitX interface is much more usable in that instance.
Yes, Fred Wilson's recent blog, and commentary contributors, have a lot of valuable input on this.
> You still need to handshake on each connection

You can just use one connection (same as websockets)

> and you also don't have bidirectional flow

Sure you have. Each request and response has a body, and HTTP bodies are indefinite streams of data. You can do everything in them you like (including running your custom protocol). That's e.g. how gRPC streaming works.
The question is: What are you trying to achieve?

Access the internet via an anonymous SIM card (tethering), then use TOR to access your VPN (paid in Bitcoins, money order or whatever). This gives you a decent level of anonymity, if need be.
Ah, I see, that's a different thing than I've been doing. I have a bridge for Cocoa that lets Lua post and observe NSNotifications, and so I have a stub class in ObjC that can call back into Lua in response to receiving a notification. I'm not using FFI at all.

The way I do it is, there's a C function that takes a Lua function as an argument (through the stack) and sticks it in the Lua registry, then stores the (int) index that it's stored at. Later on I can pull the function back out into the Lua stack and pcall it.
So your PS3 couldn't just deliver the data it has, and the server couldn't delete it after it's done?
I don't think most users expect their chat app to be protected if the police seize their phone.

The main concern is about intercepting messages between 2 parties or mass exploiting the history stored by the provider.

Sure, for some case, it can be important, but that's a much more difficult and rare threat model to address.
It kinda reminds me of the current cutting edge chip shortage - eq. the special microfluidics machines needed for mRNA vaccines VS EUV machines needed for cutting edge ASIC manufacturing.
Any of the batteries included frameworks should be just fine to get started. You know Python and PHP, so I'd check out Django and Laravel.
Not sure if you want to use the actual ustaxes.org website and input your real SSN without any security audits.
Bellard is famous for starting a number of projects that have since been carried on by others.

Looking at his output some time ago, one of the main things that I found inspiring was how much good he did by sharing his work in a form that others could build on it.

Complaining that he's done insufficient to bring others on seems really unfair.
> case fatality rate is approximately the same

If you vaccinate more people, you would expect that the cases that present at a physician will be selected to be the most severe. If the vaccine reduces most infections to very mild or asymptomatic cases, they will not be counted in the statistics at all.

So it would make sense that introducing a broadly effective vaccine would increase the case fatality rate. (You would also expect fewer severe cases, which is the whole point.)

A functioning vaccine should affect the CFR by changing the denominator of measured cases.

I am reminded of an analogy from improvements in battlefield medicine. As battlefield protocols (on-site treatment, rapid evacuation, etc.) have become more effective, battle fatality rates have fallen. But they have been replaced by a rise in severe chronic injuries like amputations.
I'd just throw in for context that BoP absolutely had more significance at the time than its sales numbers would show.
Note, this mechanism only works downwards: the company will never give a pay rise to nine employees on the grounds that the tenth already has a higher salary.

You assume the outlier will always be at the high end. What happens when instead of one person being paid much more than everyone else, it's one person that's paid much less than everyone else?
Let me be honest: promises you make that take effect when highly unlikely events transpire do not convince me of your intentions. They are fairly typical of most proponents of this variant of "morality", since after all, their behaviour contradicts their stated intentions.
I assume medicine and therapy combined with good systems is more effective than just medicine and therapy.
I'm not too sure about that. From my testing, Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight, Chrysalis, Rise, and Kyu (and a bunch of other characters that I'm surely forgetting) seem to perform phenomenally well. Especially Chrysalis, her emotions are extremely believable, and Fluttershy/Applejack/Rise/Kyu have almost zero noise for every generation. This might be the most impressive site I've ever seen.

Oh, I somehow forgot all of the TF2 characters. Some of them do struggle (Medic the most, I think) but everyone else seems incredibly good.

And the Daria characters, too. Honestly, the vast majority of characters are already near-perfect.

Whats App uses your phone # as authentication and identity. There is no username and password. So connecting to your phone is only way to verify you are who you are.
I would like to see the exact, unedited quote if you expect me to believe this. Right now this looks like fake news, like reports of Mnuchin saying "we're gonna have 20% unemployment" the other day, which Mnuchin himself denied.

There's simply no way someone in Bullard's (or Mnuchin's) position would say anything as dramatic as the article implies as categorically as the article implies.

There is no corroboration that I could find. Everything else references the Bloomberg article, which, in turn, references nothing at all.
It can still do that, but it can't get what programs you have running or the other data collected by the desktop client.

Beyond the privacy concerns it's a security risk. Their desktop client had a remote code execution vulnerability last year:

Apache offers stewardship for projects of a certain size. That is they have to be big enough to accept the overhead of having for example a vice president of the project.

Big companies create big projects.
Big companies create projects written in Java.

Big companies wants a steward for their projects to welcome outside contributors.

Project - Company - Commercial Product
Geronimo - IBM - Websphere (parts)
JackRabbit - Adobe - Adobe AEM
Felix - Adobe - Adobe AEM
Apache CXF, Apache Camel - Red hat - Fuse
Apache Sling, Adobe, Adobe AEM

I am sure there are other examples.
I don't think that I was proposing crowdfunding for science, but rather that the incentives in modern academia would give rise to modern popular science figures as those most able to secure funding. It's likely not the healthiest situation for actual discovery.
From what I gather, these people aren't using Elo rating alone - it's just an "ingredient" in their model.

Out of interest, did you enter the competition?
I would add that reading SICP or HtDP is not enough, you need to work through the exercises to sink in the important programming principles they try to teach you. Also, I miss the Schemer/Lisper series by Friedman et al. in that list.

Just out of curiosity, regarding claims like "Common Lisp has a fairly sized community which is widely regarded as a tough bunch" or "The Scheme community is really one of the most tolerant communities of them all", are those based on personal experience? How did you come up with such conclusions? I'm really interested :)
He didn't lose money, he sold something at a smaller profit (we assume he's intelligent enough that he didn't cut his margin down beyond cost). The reason it's a win for him is that it's a sale he wouldn't otherwise have made and therefore a profit he wouldn't otherwise have had.

There are potential downsides (if it was his last one he might have missed the chance to sell it for full price, it might be seen as setting a precedent) but generally salesmen understand these and figure them into their reasoning.
What's a self-employment tax?

The way it works here (Australia) is a contractor charges GST (basically a value-added tax) to the employer of 10%. The 10% is standard, so people don't usually include it in discussions of their rates (ie, if he is getting $90/hour, then the company is paying $99/hour).

After that you can handle the money how you like - if you are smart you can setup a company or trust so you only pay the company tax rate on most of your income. At worst you just pay yourself the income, and so you are taxed as though you have the $180K income.
Zuckerberg already said what will kill Facebook, but he didn't phrase it as such:

verticals.

There are several social aspects of our lives that are very poorly served by Facebook and that's where verticals will come in.

Verticals won't necessarily kill Facebook, but they have the potential to chip away at the centralization of data inside of the Facebook social graph itself.

Under this scenario Facebook would still act as an aggregator, but then again the barrier to entry for competing aggregators of social network verticals would fall substantially and allow innovation and specialization.

I know of at least one stealth startup working on such a vertical, but I can't mention who just quite yet. From the ideas I've heard, the potential is definitely there in the idea to corner one aspect of a users life that Facebook couldn't possibly match due to the high level of abstraction FB needs to maintain as a generic social networking site.

I think verticals could also erode Google as well. Quora is going after one aspect of knowledge. Wikipedia as well.

If I were to create a search engine today, I'd go after one vertical. For example, a search engine focused entirely on helping you find code would be immensely valuable. Sites like Github and Freshmeat have search, but the search isn't specialized to add any value over what Google already offers. In fact, in many cases sites with specialized knowledge about one vertical choose to use Google's search for its own site instead of building a new search from scratch that better serves the need of that vertical.

Examples of verticals where I see value in creating a specialized social network or search engine:

-- Nightlife

-- Code/Programming

-- Educational resources.
the world-wide cultural taboo against incest exists for a clearly defined reason

Of course it does. In other news, shooting people in the streets is generally considered bad, yet if you read a few thrillers and watch a few action movies, there will be gun battles. Fiction and real life: not the same.
Even if it was legal it wouldn't help except for those special occasions where you forgot your key, but remembered to take the lock pick gun. :)
They are innocent until proven guilt, but from purely practical perspective it makes little difference whether they deny it. Doubt has been cast on the code & the only way this is gonna go away is if someone reputable checks it.
The interesting thing about this technique is that unlike most security techniques it actually might work better the more the enemy knows about it.

They said "master candidate done today, so out soon". Also that the phone is available on the 24th, so iOS needs to be finished enough before that to be built in and shipped off on time.

But I'm guessing they wont allow us to have iOS 4 in wide circulation before iPhone 4 itself is out, so 24th or after is my guess.
I read "The only software I generally install on my gaming systems are Microsoft Office and games" as indicating that he did install it himself. He believes the toolbar was a hidden payload in a system performance tool he installed.

Regarding the technical knowledge, no one knows everything right away. It's all about drive and determination, if you are generally smart, you can pick up most things over time.

The author makes a lot of good points. Its true that a lot of the officials who claim to be attempting to help entrepreneurs don't have any entrepreneurial experience themselves and that hurts their ability to help.

This kind of testing is already done in certain contexts. I am thinking specifically of air quality and automobile efficiency standards which are "tested" in California before being rolled out to the nation. However, this is only allowed because California has special exemptions from federal law in these contexts. It is important to note that scale and scope are critical-what may be efficient/optimal in one locale may not be so in others, or at larger scales. E.g. fuel standards and national energy profile are arguably under legitimate federal authority... other issues not so much. Also important to point out that the "optimal" and "efficient" are not mutually inclusive or absolutely defined-preferences, for better or worse, are king.
