> And with GPUs rainbow tables are gone

Not exactly. I could have a rainbow table for every possible password eight characters or fewer, and find it in a rainbow table in log(table_size) but to brute force it might take several days. GPUs make it so you can generate bigger rainbow tables faster too.
What was in the original bundle?
Try cold showering - hot showers strip the natural oils from your skin and leave it dry.

Ensure you're changing your bedsheets every 5 days, and wash them with 70degree+ water.
Wouldn't cyber squatting laws just hand over the domain to their party if asked? They are even being asked for money, even if only in jest, which strengthens their case.
To start with you only need to study input-response pairs (sensory input causing motor commands). You enter the neural inputs from a real fly into the simulation, and compare responses of the real fly and the simulated one. Once you understand what's going on, proceed to do sequence of inputs, and compare the sequence of responses. The goal is not to produce the identical sequence of actions by tuning the simulation, it's understanding how the actions are being computed from the inputs.

Having a detailed simulation like this would greatly accelerate Numenta's style research, where instead of piecing together information from published papers, you would get it straight from the experiments you control.
Making sense in your head isn't enough for a claim to be factual.
In addition, what's changed between 2017 and now is that back then Google was still admired by the tech people. "Google is evil" sounded ridiculous only a few years ago. I've been ridiculed by my colleagues and fellow engineers every time I said it. But I think it began to change with the introduction of AMP, a growing list of products discontinued for no apparent reason, failures of some of the new products often practically at launch, and finally the decline of quality and coverage of Search (more spam and more older sites dropping out).

Google like no other tech giant always relied on the credibility among the tech people. Whether it's a new end-user product or a new programming language, it would go full avalanche with minimal marketing effort.

Losing our support, on top of poor product management and inability to innovate will be more and more difficult for them to handle. Rolling out poorly designed and poorly targeted products is already a sign of a disconnect from reality. They are slowly becoming less and less relevant and most importantly, less respected by the tech community. In a way it's the Microsoft of the 2000s when the revenue figures still weren't bad but the signs of the decline were apparent.

Yet unfortunately there's no competition to Search on the horizon and "google" is still a commonly used verb that will be very difficult to remove from the language. Microsoft seems to be happy with Bing's position today, which looks and feels like Google Search and maybe internally even mimics all the stupid and "evil" things Google Search does judging from their search results.

I think it is time (if not a bit too late) to try to challenge Google Search with something new, a new perspective on how the information on the Internet can be indexed and searched. I bet a lot of people are constantly thinking about this, but the window of opportunity may be now while Google is putting a lot of their time and effort on ML/AI. I doubt you can compete with them by building a ML-based search, so it must be something else both in terms of technology and possibly even the UI.

I don't know what the bottom line here is. Google is not dying any time soon, but the time to challenge them could be now.
"Requires a down payment, finance payments, registration and taxes, dmv lines, insurance, maintenance . . ."

Does life not involve responsibilities? How does this imply OWNERSHIP over oneself? Tally that actual amount of time all of these responsibilities actually involve rather than assume that the rest of us are overwhelmed by your exhaustive list.

"traffic tickets, parking tickets, toll roads, parking fees" higher rent to pay for parking, fuel, police surveillance, dealership sales scams, etc."

It didn't take long before you had to stretch to find these nearly insurmountable obstacles.

"Now you need a better job and probably stuck in traffic more often in service of the car."

Did you stop to consider that this better job that wasn't available without a car might be a reason why you also have a higher standard of living and more liberty to spend your newly acquired free time doing what you enjoy?

"No wonder rideshare and rentals are taking over"

Ever heard of buses, trains, and taxis? It isn't like these things never existed as options that people -- including car owners like yourself -- have used before.

"I have a very old car. . ."

So does it OWN you? The point of contention here is ownership. Before the car, people may have owned horses. Owning a horse involved a lot of responsibilities as well, but it also provided a service for people. That doesn't imply that the horse owned the owner.
There was a transition from early idealists imagining the wonder of the Soviet utopia which were quite prevalent into many of the more center-minded people realizing what was actually happening in the USSR souring on the whole idea in general. By the time the Manhattan Project was underway much of that transition was done.

There was another motivation which was strongly advocated by Oppenheimer and others to officially share nuclear secrets and bring the USSR to the table and establish controls in order to prevent secret competition and escalation. There were others who along those lines were motivated to use back channels to supply that same information for similar goals.
How does this work with SSL certification? The 3rd party server needs to be in possession of a certificate for eir63gd.mywebsite.com
The article this comment thread is about is about a study of efficiency of charity methods. It is useful for studying possible effects of UBI-like programs, but it isn't about UBI.

As for UBI specifically...

> It is forcibly taken at gunpoint (though they will ask nicely many times before pulling out the gun).

This is the case with all taxes.

> Also, there can be no "unconditional" giving without "unconditional" taking in a world with finite resources.

This already happens all the time. The money for the military and Medicare has to come from somewhere, after all.
> the benchmark EV for eight years

Really? Tesla is spyware on wheels. The first time I can remember hearing about their consumer products was about someone finding their car remotely disabled because they'd found an ethernet port in it and plugged into it.

I mostly see it referenced in a mocking way about conspicuous consumption and weird corporate antics. They were even made fun of on the TV show Silicon Valley.

We have an EV at my household (a nissan leaf) which we like very much. A tesla would never have been a consideration. Googling briefly shows that worldwide leafs outnumber tesla on the road by a significant margin.

I think we inhabit very different bubbles.
Maybe the best thing they can do now is to invest in swarm drones. The time of manned jets is over. Time for the machines.
What's not strong about them? Not everybody needs or wants AWS's 1000+ service offerings. Managed k8s and databases are all most people want.
In my experience the "ApplicationCredit" is virtually worthless. You can't apply a credit after a merchant has uninstalled your app since their Shopify API access token has been revoked. And in the vast majority of cases, refund requests happen after a merchant has uninstalled the app.

Why so many refund requests after a merchant has uninstalled your app you ask? Because Shopify inexplicable doesn't prorate app charges when a merchant uninstalls your app in the middle of their 30 day billing period. Even if a merchant uninstalls your app 1 day into their 30 day billing period then Shopify's billing system still charges them for the full 30 days and doesn't automatically refund them back the difference. So we're often inundated with refund requests from merchants. We then have to send an email to Shopify's billing team to have them refund the charge. It's absolutely nuts!
Microsoft is more of a monopoly and a bigger tech giant.
Tejas is a pride project that has squandered an enormous amount of money for India. It is arguably the worst fighter in production in the world.
I'd argue that the billing is much more straightforward.

For example, you just pay $5 for a monthly droplet. AWS offers a near competitor to this,AWS light sail.

Digitalocean is easier to use, but only marginally. I strongly suspect many users who find AWS to be a confusing mess try DO instead. I used DO for a long time , but I've since switched to AWS
I just mean you can't charge for it directly. "Utility" is perhaps what you mean. Note that the most important achievements (scientific and artistic) in human history were economically worthless for their authors, but have had enormous indirect positive economic benefits.
for some of us, it's a desire to not give Google, Amazon, or Microsoft any money.

The big clouds offer great features, but My 5/mo Linode is fine to run a 3 user matrix server.

(I used to work at Linode, but that didn't sway my desire to avoid the big 3.)
The catch, I suspect, lies in knowing how much runway you have to develop someone. The person needs a month to learn a language and framework? Sure, that's workable. Needs a year? Maybe not.
A thread from 2014: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8276171
What shenanigans? The popular spots really are popular, which is why nearly everything will be booked to most interested visitors. Are you just suggesting that there shouldn’t be online reservations at all?
Could this be a consequence of inequality? Perhaps an individual can now hold a large proportion of the wealth, but without the quality/volume of ideas or capacity to use that wealth.
Same thing happened in Screamer 2 (the racing game). Worked fine up to a certain CPU speed but crashed on anything faster than that.
Hi folks! Lukas (Lukas1994) and I built this.

If you have a spreadsheet model, it lets you answer questions like "Which variable in my model is the most important?" and "If I underestimate X by 10%, what's the effect on Y?".

Most models are built on assumptions and estimates — if you run a company, your financial model will probably include an assumption around your customer growth rate in the future. If you use this model to make decisions — "How many people can we hire in Q4?" — then it's important to understand how sensitive these decisions are to your assumptions. It may turn out that overestimating your growth rate by 10% means you can only hire half as many people, in which case you'll probably want to hire a bit more conservatively. This analysis is pretty cumbersome to do in spreadsheets.

More broadly, we think there should be a better way than Excel to crunch numbers and do modelling, and we're trying to build it (https://causal.app). Would love to chat if this sounds interesting: taimur@causal.app :)
> Its almost hard to imagine what life was like before things like twitter, uber, spotify, youtube, and to think that they were either only a few years old or barely taking their first steps at the beginning of the decade is mind-blowing.

All things you listed were founded in the previous decade, and indeed nothing in tech of this decade would be shocking to someone in 2009.

Based on this I expect the next decade will also see very little innovation.
The latter. The underlying settlement is separate concern to clearing. Crypto just makes settlement easier for low-zero trust environments or situations where you want to manage liquidity better.
I was using qTip with jQuery on the desktop and in an iPhone-specific site. It was a pleasure to use.
If you 'Change' the background image, there's one with just a white background, which effectively takes it back to what you're used to. It isn't exactly 'turning it off' per se, but it's probably what you want, regardless.
Gladwell is a fantastic storyteller.

Unfortunately, this isn't obvious to many people, who seem to think he's a scientist or a journalist, despite no claims on his part for these qualifications or assertions that his work stands up to the rigors of those disciplines. They have decided that he is one or both of these things, and since he isn't, he does not fare well when assessed along those lines.

He writes very well, his books are interesting, his anecdotes are carefully selected and edited. His conclusions are meant to spark conversation, not end them.

Lighten up.
excellent number 6.
Remember two things:

1. Choose when the good outweighs the bad.
2. Timing is everything.

Nobody() settles down with (or makes) the perfect choice, rather they choose things that are net wins. SO's are sometimes a bother because they're always in your space, but there are times when it's important to have somebody around to help.

And keep in mind that while you might be in a "target-rich" environment now, that will change (possibly suddenly). Leaving school, moving out of the big city, or having friends decide to commit parenthood - these can greatly restrict the pool of candidates, leaving you trying to catch up.

Play the game, but always keep an eye on the clock.

() - ok, you know somebody who did, but I didn't and it's still statistically insignificant.
We got a brief mention at the end of the article, but I don't feel that it does us justice -> http://www.getzazu.com
AVR is probably too limited to run almost any kind of dynamic VM effectively (with notable exception of forth).

Classic microcontrollers (which AVR essentially is) have relatively large amounts of program memory combined with miniscule RAM, for dynamic VM you need it exactly other way around.
Funny he didn't respond to the multitasking thing. I would have liked to have his opinion about that.
I think talent also plays a role. Profitable companies are capable of hiring poor talent. Valve hires the best, because they're both profitable and prestigious. A lot of smart, intrinsically motivated people may be able to find a way to organize themselves, regardless of management structure, whereas less talented employees may have different organizational needs.
I remember back in the 80s, you basically couldn't go anywhere without ending up stinking like an ashtray.

Can confirm. I visited many a windowless office in Manhattan where everyone smoked, and air circulation was nil.

Fixing electronics in those days always started with swabbing a thick layer of tar off the circuit boards.
I got an iPhone 12 mini (my first iPhone since the original) I’m also worried they won’t keep the form factor around. It hasn’t performed well in the market. I like the size, but apparently most people prefer the larger size and battery life.
A smaller, lighter, and slightly cheaper car (which presumably would need fewer batteries) would be a great match for Europe. Driving through and parking in these ancient cities is a real pain with a big car.
After a long time with VLC, I've been using iina.io for a year. It's great.
You could set your DNS server IP address to one of AdGuard's public DNS servers that are configured to operate like a PiHole without installing anything.

https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html

DNScloak and an ad blocking hosts file, such as the one here: https://github.com/BlackJack8/iOSAdblockList would be another option.
Horizontal scaling brings down total compute use if you have many distinct uses.

Imagine of your only unit of compute is a single bulky machine. You don't fully saturate it, but you need a second machine to avoid downtime anyway. Now you spin up a second or third service and suddenly you need 5 or ten machines and your compute utilization is 20%. You can pack things in tighter. But then you have a knapsack problem, and that's easier to solve efficiently with many small blocks even if it costs you a 1% overhead or whatever.
> Trying to prevent a determined privileged attacker from doing something is an exercise in futility,

That's not really true at all.

> since it's impossible in every sense of the word

Ok? Lots of things are impossible, and lots of those things are also still very very hard and costly. Hash collisions aren't impossible, and yet here we are, with a world hinging on them being very hard.

> , they can do whatever they want

Not really.

> Most post-exploitation frameworks (prominent example: DanderSpritz) have modules to remove stuff from the windows event logs without leaving traces.

You realize that:

a) DanderSpritz's logic to bypass the event log was a huge deal

b) It's literally an NSA leaked exploit????? Like are you kidding me using an NSA developed exploit as "pretty basic stuff" lol

Sorry but I think I'm gonna stop responding here.
Won't this get handled by apps asking users to choose between all tracking, or multi-page-collapsible-ambiguous-form-for-selective-tracking ? Nobody spends minutes to deselect every category in those forms.
Here’s one problem I have with DuckDuckGo.

I know DuckDuckGo have acquired the domain duck.com. Occasionally after an unfruitful Google search I would think, maybe I should give DDG a try. Since duck.com is easier to type than duckduckgo.com, I would visit duck.com. But duck.com would direct me to a stupid landing page that asks me to “Add DuckDuckGo to ...” or “Install DuckDuckGo” on iOS. There’s a teeny tiny “or try a private search first” line at the very bottom where I can click to reveal the search box. What the hell? The landing page makes me 300% more likely to just leave, instead of adding or installing it.

You can try it yourself: https://duck.com

(Btw, almost every time I land on Quora, that post by DDG CEO shows up as promoted. Kinda tired by now.)

Edit: To be fair to them, I noticed only just now that the box could be dismissed with a close button or clicking anywhere outside, so clicking on “or try a private search first” isn’t the only way. However, in my defense, the close button blends pretty well into the image, and being able to click outside is unclear since unlike modals elsewhere, there’s absolutely nothing behind.

I still fail to see why they have to hide the search box.
I genuinely wondered if this was parody for a moment. How about stepping away from the screen and unplug for a while, maybe even go outside and actually talk to real people?
Don’t use detail, use metrics. “I reduced the time-to-production of a critical service by 41%” tells me absolutely nothing about your previous employer’s trade secrets. Everybody wants a 41% reduction in time-to-production.
The problem with this is that proving that someone didn't forget something beyond a reasonable doubt is basically impossible. People forget stuff all the time. Especially once you throw in the stress and change in environment of a legal proceeding.

The result is that either the law has no practical effect because anybody can claim they forgot, or the courts fudge the requirement to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt in order to give the law effect, and then you put innocent people behind bars because they really did forget.
Side note: I found it quite difficult to read the article with the fast motion animated gifs.

I noticed that animated gifs are increasingly used to "spice up" content, but in reality, their motion is distracting and can make it hard to read the surrounding text. A relevant still image works fine.
> It's not really like programming. The tools are deeply integrated into the physics of the system.

What specifically makes electronics different from modeling other systems with software? DSP immediately comes to mind as something that is explicitly tied to Maxwell but there is really good software out there for describing, modeling, and creating signal processing components similar to how you'd write software. An example of this could be GNU Radio.

Is there something that prevents the creation of workflow automation tools, abstractions, and "compilers"/DSLs?

Do engineers at Intel, AMD, and Nvidia manually lay out each feature in their chip designs? If not, what workflow tools have they developed internally? Could those tools, or similar, be used for smaller scale circuit design?
I always thought Amazon would build a YouTube killer. They're really the only company perfectly placed to do so. And yet while I'm pretty sure they've talked about it they've never acted on it.
I don't think the argument applies nearly as strongly to happy hour. if you don't like drinking, you can still enjoy some food and talk to your coworkers. I understand it's not very fun to be sober around a bunch of drunk people, but they really shouldn't be having more than a drink or two at a company event in the first place. I guess it's especially tough on recovering alcoholics, but no more than the entire outside world.
>Now we could start on the assumed role of complex neurotransmitters in the creative process of the brain and the trivial way reinforcement learning rewards artificial agents, but that would push the scope of this comment.

You can't really separate emotion and aesthetics from the neurotransmitters helping to implement them! They're considerably more complex than anyone usually gives credit for.

Likewise, to form a valuable proposition, you need a sense of value, which is rooted in the same neurological functionality that creates emotion and aesthetics.

You realise that page has instructions for two branches (dev/stable) for 5 different package managers?

I can't really imagine someone who needs to use a text merge tool, and uses a Linux desktop, but finds it overwhelming to run, at most, 3 commands.
That's ... wrong? The only reports about people being cold inGermany were when parts of cities lost district heating but this was heat coming from conventional plants.
Solar and wind power generation are lower than usual, but nobody is freezing here.
If you are willing to strip the DRM and convert the files to epub or PDF, you can read them on the Remarkable 2. I do this as I prefer to read on the Remarkable 2 (compared to reading on the Kindle). It's just convenient to have all the technical material, notes and the leisure reading in one place.
If you believe that fertility is negatively associated with prosperity, then the idea that people will buy these houses because they have children is especially wrong.
I get what he's trying to say but the fact is that the two mediums are different.

I know when I watch a TV show, large sums of money went into making the show I'm watching due to the history of television. Writers, actors, set builders, etc. were all paid during the production of a TV show and I know commercials and product placements paid for all of it.

When I watch something on YouTube, my first inkling is to think I'm watching some bloke with a webcam making a video in his basement. The history of YouTube causes me to think that the person on YouTube operates all by themselves just for the fun of it. While I know that that's not the case anymore the historic perception is still there, that's what the rules are meant to protect general public against.

YouTube creates a different kind of relationship between viewer and content creator, one that's particularly intimate and consequently persuasive.
Don't be offended by a no name on the internet, some people just don't know what they are talking about.
Be my guest if you want to argue the merits of one system over another based on some technical specs or design decisions. My point is that the track records are not long enough to draw any statistical conclusions and the Tesla and Uber have killed people but Comma hasn't argument is at best wildly misleading given the large differences in miles driven.
