>Thus, we will certainly see ISPs continue to use prioritization to manage congestion—prioritization is, in fact, a necessary tool for managing limited resources such as bandwidth.

Bandwidth may very well be a limited resource in some cases but the dispute between Comcast and Netflix is not one of them. The Comcast network has the bandwidth available to serve the customers (since not all sites are congested) and Netflix is willing to peer for free wherever they want them to, so the slowdown is completely artificial and Comcast generated.
Why would anyone archive a Twitter feed as images? Like really? The whole thing should just be in a text file.
^^ yes, I'd argue it was. As the tweets say, I've only confirmed that one provider of many has pulled the plug. I'm looking into the others.
If similar behavior would be fine on twitter, fb and the like, those people wouldn't have fled to parler in the first place.

Not being great at enforcing rules on social media is not on the same level as intending not to have those rules.

Equating private with public messaging is ridiculous. Not sure how laws are in the US, but when doing support here in germany we had to have private in-game messages reported by a participant before we were even allowed to look at them. The company obviously had a much easier time shaping the atmosphere in the public forum.

And if you only care about outcomes like never having a terrorist attack... well, I don't see how this could ever happen without in-depth control by government or the like. China-style is probably the closest example we have, and that's not a trade-off i would want to make.
Out of curiosity, what do you think makes it illegal: the coercive aspect, or that it's aimed at POTUS?

That's the main part - to be paind enough so that quarter/part time work is enough to live comfortably anywhere in the world and have a time for side hustles. "Work less" as the article mentions.
Which means that if we choose to ignore the Trump aspect of the corona virus and compare the US to other countries you get the following:

- no free healthcare means you initially had to pay to get tested

- underdeveloped healthcare system (initial wave saw NYC overwhelmed)

- lack of labor laws means that you have few rights: no sick days and can easily be fired with no grace period

- polarized political environment means that government help takes a lot of time and has to be executed in mammoth size packages

- very large country seen as one makes it an easy target for the press (x number of people died instead of x%)
Please don't spread misinformation. We don't yet have any reliable evidence on that one way or the other.
Yeah! this looks strange. Probably need to dig deeper on how the flu shots are administered and why.
And you know they're not stolen but amazingly cheap how?
I tried this with over half a dozen songs, including the one listed on the README (Ingrid Michaelson- Be Ok), but I am unable see the difference when I turn the crossfeed filter ON/OFF. I can't tell the difference whether the filter is on or off. I am using iPhone's default headphones while listening to these songs.

Am I doing something wrong? Is the difference very subtle?
Who are "the weak" being protected by taxi regulations? Uber is usually cheaper than regular taxis so more available to poorer people.
Haskell has existed for 25 years, Common Lisp for 30 and Lisp in general for a bit over 50. Yes, Lisp has the longer pedigree, but I don't think you can call Haskell a fad.

I created the site, because I always missed some trailers when I am working. Their were no easy way to catch up.
Its aggregates the data from one source at the moment, but want to add more. Which would you like?

Scroll down to the latency vs size map and look at the R per RV prange. That gets you 30ns or so.

Similar for AMD's latest/greatest the Ryzen 9 5950X:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

The same R per RV prange is in the 60ns range.
All of that applies to frontend development too.

At the end of the day, some people like Javascrip and CSS. And "full stack" only means that they will work with those, SQL, and some backend language (that may be Javascript too). It doesn't imply anything on the workload, all it does imply is that the place is hiring a generalist instead of specialists.
In my experience, waiting for doctors appointments and test results is the hardest part of getting treated. When I was told I had a "brain tumor" (inaccurate, but verbatim) after a year of waiting, I actually smiled. I just was happy that finally something was happening.

Best of luck to you, but until they find something definitively, mind your sanity. Don't get too excited and wrapped up in Celiac yet; it might be the wrong diagnosis. Each time you get a wrong diagnosis, you drop a little lower. Being invested in a particular diagnosis and then having it be disproven is more like a free-fall.
For those that also live in the 21st century, yes. Which mail clients don't render HTML? Perhaps the users who still use ancient mail clients should consider switching, or endure reading HTML. I'm not going optimize for the minority by making web sites in plain text either for the few users who refuse to use a web browser.
I know a couple navy engineers and air force computer techs who have gone on to successful private sector careers working on basically the same stuff they did in the military.
Like all good and easy to understand argument this one simplifies things and glosses over some details, but overall I buy it. At least it's definitely true nowadays. MIT had a spectacular history of Electrical Engineering but for the last N years they have concentrated on the "next cool thing" syndrome, the worst case being the MIT Media Lab.

We have to remember that there are major outside influences that are shaping these institutions, especially for Stanford, being in the eye of Silicon Valley.
On the other hand, the story is not upvoted to the top of HN for no reason.

I have a middle of the road solution, what if the site had a feature where you could paste multiple unique "thesetimes" URLs and it would show you a resultant figure with only the overlapped areas?
Do these tricks actually work? Every time I’ve run into these, I’ve felt like I’m negotiating with a used car salesman. Most of the time, that’s actually been the case. But, a few times, I actually ran into this nonsense after getting a job offer. Each time, after a few rounds of “higher authority” and “good guy, bad guy” I got tired of the games and turned down the offer, in favor of a company that gave me a reasonable offer in the first place, and actually let me talk to someone who had the power to make a decision (or at least didn’t pretend that they didn’t have the power to make a decision). I imagine hitting these techniques is equally obnoxious from the other side.
The title could more accurately say that it was leading to bad science writing.
See my response to TeMPOral downstream. Using names isn't the problem, saturating your company with the mythology is.
Though it is not a course,I would recommend the book, "Computing Systems:A Programmers Perspective" by Randall Bryant and David O' Hallaron. I especially like its full focus on x86-64, explaining the behaviour of a modern processor, including extensive coverage of floating point functionality, which most introductory books only cover perfunctorily.

A rare computer arch book written with programmers as the intended audience.
Yes but what problem is being solved through this requirement?
DuckDuckGo is what I use for image search, it works about the same as Google did pre-change.
I found "Walt Disney - The Triumph of the American Imagination," a fairly thick biography on Disney, to handle Disneyland's creation pretty well.

I don’t know, has he? Citing a source would be constructive as I’m not aware of Zuck saying anything publicly about McNamee ever since his PR stunt kicked off.
Shame this post is being ignored. I’m reminded yet again I need to find another online retailer for the random small purchases I send Amazon’s way.
Yyyyy-es?

I mean they have the right to read books and other materials[1, 2] (whether the prison is required to furnish them is a different question). But generally, I believe yes, prisoners have a limited right to the 1A in prison. There are some restrictions for security purposes as well as they lose some rights (like right to vote) if they are felons.

VC-funded startups have always burned cash at prodigious rates. There's nothing inherently worrisome about that. What worries Andreessen, Gurley, Wilson, and other investors with decades of experience is that many startups today are burning cash by spending on things that do not increase business value -- and in some cases actually destroy it -- without worrying for even a moment about the possibility of running out of money.

In Andreessen's words: "Lots of people, big shiny office, high expense base = Fake 'we’ve made it!' feeling. Removes pressure to deliver real results."[1]

In Gurley's words: "I think that Silicon Valley as a whole or that the venture-capital community or startup community is taking on an excessive amount of risk right now. Unprecedented since ‘'99. In some ways less silly than '99 and in other ways more silly than in '99. ... For the first time since '99, in the past 12 months, I've been in board meetings where the company says, 'Our only option is a 10-year lease,' at record pricing on a per square foot basis here in San Francisco, which is two or three times what the rent was three years ago. And so this is why it's all cyclical—because the landlords get greedy. They wouldn't do a 10-year lease if they thought that the rates were low. So they're implicitly telling you they want to lock this in for 10 years, which is its own form of greed because what happened in '99 is half the companies went bankrupt and they couldn't pay the lease over the 10-year period."[2]

In Wilson's words: "I’ve pushed back on long term leases that I thought were outrageous, I’ve pushed back on spending plans that I thought were too aggressive and too risky, I’ve made myself a pain in the ass to more than a few CEOs."[3]

Their worry, in short, is that many VC-funded startups are burning cash stupidly.

> Gee I don't know, maybe standardisation has some sort of benefit that leads to a cohesive, consistent experience for all users as opposed to having a bunch of clients that all implement varying levels of the spec to various standards...

Supporting only one application is quite the opposite of standardization, it is vendor lock in. If it was standardized it would open up the opportunity to have more than one client.
Isn’t this also the basis for Stadia RIP and XBox Mobile work on iPhones? That seems to deliver acceptable results for even arcade games on WiFi.

Latency seems to have been conquered.
As far as I understand, this only affects sub requests (iframes, Ajax requests, scripts, CSS, etc), and not the main request.

In a redirect, the third party site is used as a friest party request, and should not be limited by this.

See same site cookies and referrer policy to limit how much information is leaked to a third party with redirects.
Walking is only suited to distances of a few miles. People walk at 3 mph. Bikes are 4-5 times faster than walking.
"When people ask me how I feel about my new position, I shrug: It’s a job."

Yep, it is always just a job.
The CTF part made me confused though, was this bugbounty part of some CTF?
I am currently involved in a app development where a single code base is deployed to several platforms.

Cors is being a topic for the last two month. I am increasingly concerned about the future of javascript webapps and its build targets like cordova/capacitor/electron because there is no single cors configuration which fits all build targets :(
It depends. Sometimes the answer is obscure because of our setup - like you'd need to know to look in the other repo. I'll always tell you that, and point you to the doc and the problem-list to update in case the doc is wrong.

But, if you ask me a question where the answer is in the code, the proper answer you seek, in the detail you need, then I'm going to ask you to read the code first and only ask me what's left.

Perhaps the story is true as retold, or maybe the original guy asked about the right things and read the code for the rest, but people watching from the outside couldn't tell and conflated it all, turning it into a story of ladder-pulling bitterness.

That doesn't really ring true for me because I want coworkers taking responsibility for these odd systems (that they have to find me to ask about). But I don't want to be stuck in the role of their System-X guy who they get to do their changes. This guy's incentive would be to walk the line, educate and hand-off.
>City roads are narrow and don't have empty space just waiting to be painted green. Bike lanes will cost you parking spots or a car travel lane. This gets huge pushback.

Both should be sacrificed in order to break the car-infested cities. I imagine the pushback must be annoying to deal with, yes, but there's just no way you're going to be able to reconstruct your cities to be safe with this absurd amount of space dedicated to cars in cities of all places.

I suppose we might be on the same page here, though it's not entirely clear to me at the moment.

100% agree with the rest of your comment.
> These days, lots of actual user data (i.e. != metadata) gets uploaded to the Signal servers[0] and encrypted with the user's Signal PIN (modulo some key derivation function). Unfortunately, many users choose an insecure PIN, not a passphrase with lots of entropy, so the derived encryption key isn't particularly strong.

If I understand what you are saying and what Signal says, Signal anticipates this problem and provides a solution that is arguably optimal:

https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/

My (limited) understanding is that the master key consists of the user PIN plus c2, a 256 bit code generated by a secure RNG, and that the Signal client uses a key derivation function to maximize the master key's entropy. c2 is stored in SGX on Signal's servers. If the user PIN is sufficiently secure, c2's security won't matter - an attacker with c2 still can't bypass the PIN. If the PIN is not sufficiently secure, as often happens, c2 stored in SGX might be the most secure way to augment it while still making the the data recoverable.

I'd love to hear from a security specialist regarding this scheme. I'm not one and I had only limited time to study the link above.
The code is mostly C#. There is also an Android app in Java.

It is in the supply chain/warehouse management industry.

I will email. Thanks!
Alternative reading: folks in Silicon Valley who've gotten used to FANG-level compensation have inadvertently developed a very skewed view of what average salaries in their industry are, because FANG compensation has climbed dramatically in the last decade. Anecdotally, $120 –130K was a reasonable mid-level engineering salary in the valley in 2009 (I had more than a few friends at that level, which I admittedly hadn't reached myself); if that wage had increased more in line with inflation, we'd expect it to be $145-160K in 2019 -- and that $120K would have been hard to match for tech talent in most other parts of the country a decade ago. (Not impossible, just not easy.) The soaring valuations of tech companies, especially in the Bay Area, led to a loop of equally soaring costs of living and frenzied talent competition which just hasn't been reflected in most other places in the country.

It does seem strange that they wouldn't see a single offer over $150K, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if the median level was considerably lower.
Is there a simple intro an ELI5 to get into or learn literate programming?

My current understanding is that if write a paragraph size of comments to explain each and every part of my code with its intent it will be called literate programming.
Something that I've been looking for as I try to learn more about WebAssembly is good examples of tasks that, when converted from Javascript to WebAssembly, would be good uses of WebAssembly for performance or memory or other reasons. Does anybody have a link to a blog post or good documentation like that?
This sounds like quantum woo.

If we had desktop quantum computers, and a computationally hard algorithm on qubits was used for proof of work instead, we would still end up in the same arms race of ever more expensive, ever more power hungry systems do that work.

What would happen if Bitcoins work function (the hardness) was made 10 times easier, would miners use 1/10th the power budget? No, they'd just 10x their mining rate. Why? Because other miners have every incentive to do the same.

Likewise with a quantum algorithm.
When you pay $19.99 for a $179 brand new product... I’m not saying it’s OK to scam but caveat emptor? At least a bit?
Thanks. Had not considered that. An acre of property is enough to get as close as possible, earning as much as needed for taxes and utilities thru death. Few other promises in life. That sounds more defeated than I like. What I mean is that steady state life through generations should look pretty similar, because we all eat and potty and need to be cleaned, etc. Transhumanism could speciate us, no doubt. I was deep into that for a while but can’t grok consciousness downloading yet so I’ve become a lot more wait-and-see. But back to the point, thanks for that angle.

I’ve objected to Bitcoin since at least 2010ish, where I mentioned that I didn’t want to turn the polar bears black on Facebook but maybe that it looks epic and brilliant technically.
Needless to say, I have not violated the "Twitter Rules"—I haven't even DONE anything on my account that could violate them.
Nobody cares, if anyone does ask: just say you started mid year and it threw out course prerequisites to the point it was easier to take an easier workload spread over an extra semester.

Source, I did this. Nobody cares.

not as classy as your ad hominem defense.

if you are a working professional who is gainfully employed, it's not hard to save 10k a year for a decade. it just isn't. you're not thinking critically about this.
Same thing happened with the 13th Lab pointcloud SDK getting sucked into Oculus. We also see it with developers getting sucked into Google/FB etc...
Right, but I was thinking about the damage they could do or what happens if they shut the engines off. Who will come and get the ship and how long will that take. Help could be days away how much could be stolen in that time.

I believe the pirates are in it for the insurance money for the hostages anyway I doubt they want to fence any actual goods.
I play trumpet, my routine usually starts with long tones and slow articulation exercises. As I get warmed up I extend into lip slurs, faster articulation, and flexibility. After I'm completely warmed up then I go into a mix of technique work, etudes for fun, and whatever other repertoire I need to work on for performance.

Repertoire that I'm just maintaining is a mix of full runthroughs and reinforcing small segments. For new repertoire I usually work through it measure by measure, mixing air+valves reps with playing reps to save my lips.
$1500 cost to the company would be 750 EUR net salary (have deducted the income tax and social and healthcare). At that lower end what you can get is a junior content marketing person, junior inside sales person or someone in customer support and assistance. Probably not anyone in design or engineering. Engineering and design would be starting from $2-2500 for juniors in their 1st/2nd job and of course you can go to thousands from there. Someone working at Skype engineering here would be more like $3-4000 cost to the company.

You must keep in mind though that for $400-500 per month you can rent a luxurious 1-2br apartment and all the services cost also a fracture of what they cost in the US. The spending habits and lifestyle of someone making what seems really low here is much much higher than someone in SF Bay Area.

The argument of what someone would make in the US does not count. Because of the lifestyle and love for your own country most tend to stay in their EU countries. Moving to US and making $120k per year would be a downward spiral for many.

That 1.8m company probably has a headcount of 25-30 people, all world class top notch people, and the company is still hugely profitable and dividend-paying.
Why wouldn't they choose Android over WP7. I would think Android would offer them more control over the user experience and Nokia branding.

They're lying, by intentionally either miscalculating inflation or not counting things that are inflating a lot. This isn't unique to the Fed of course, seemingly most governments and central banks do it (whether China or Venezuela). By lying they acquire room to inflate at a higher rate, to fake growth, bury entitlements, devalue debt, and trick some of the population into thinking things are getting better (while the real standard of living declines or moves sideways).
That's way too common of a story :(

Until startups change the 90 day exercise window, you can go to something like esofund.com to help offload some of the risk.
The significance of China flattening the curve was never that Covid was defeated. This thing will have a much longer impact than that. It was that their health infrastructure could keep up with ICU demand, i.e., they have a death rate trending towards 0.5-1% instead of 4-6%.

Until there is a vaccine or the entire remaining population develops some immunity, the disease is still around and lockdown will have to be lifted gradually to keep the number of new cases low enough that the cases that need intense care can get it.
Could you suggest such a provider that accepts cryptocoins? I honestly was not aware that I could do that.
And clipper the polygon offsetting library!
If it rounds down to 0, most marketing is allowed some margin of error.

You can put 0 grams fat per serving on a product that actually has 0.01 grams of fat.

If a vegan restaurant advertises 0% animal products I guarantee that is also incorrect. There is some small percentage of insect parts in almost everything.

Obviously there is some margin.
Fundamentally, I think many programmers forget that writing software is a human problem first, and a coding/technical problem second. When you pause an extra beat to understand how things got the way they are before opening your mouth, it optimizes for the humanness of the outcome, which is more in line with the actual challenges - the humans using and building the software.
