Why would it need to be accessed from software? There's probably a strong likelihood that hardware manufacturers will configure the FPGA in the factory, and the end-user will end up oblivious to the fact it's even there.
I think you mean the SEC and/or the "feds" (FBI), not the federal reserve bank?

The problem with insider trading is that a verdict hinges on proving intent to defraud, which is very difficult to ascertain.

Also, IMHO, insider trading is mostly used as an easy way to generate publicity and give the general public the fuzzy feeling that "something is being done", whilst achieving rarely something of value for the markets and society. There are many things much more worth of pursuing with limited resources than insider trading. Alas, that's what you get when you staff an oversight agency like the SEC with lots of lawyers.
If we all coordinate our efforts and position our cursors we could spell out something.
I like surfing at this beach. It is a shame an amicable solution could not be found. This is a big loss for the public.
Profitability is having revenues you can predict and time expenses around. Non-profits are out of scope.

Call it what you want, revenue, profits, whatever, you are not sustainable if you don't bring in more than you spend.
Huawei sure, no one knows who really owns/controls them. But Baidu, Alibaba, actually have fairly transparent ownership structures, they aren’t that subject to party control beyond say an American company operating a branch in China.
My guess would be because there has been a surge in American xenophobia, and an expected outcome of that might be abuse of things like the FREL to irrationally discriminate against foreign entities.
> TI graphing calculators are based on sufficiently old hardware that it is probably faster to emulate a TI calculator on something with the power of a Raspberry Pi.

IIRC, most ran on Z80s except the 89 and 92 which used 68000s.
Back when (and where) I grew up calculators were hardly ever used in math classes and completely forbidden in exams. I later went the IMO route and obtained a degree in mathematics; neither required a calculator.

I still fail to understand why the hell graphing calculators are required for some high school math curriculum.
If you think that you can run a pirate radio station in 2019, the FCC would like to have a word with you. You will, after all, be getting in the way of commercial interests.
As a scientist, wouldn't you want to perform extensive formal experimentation before reaching your definitive conclusions? Your dismissive attitude on this topic seems a bit closed minded.
"Intellectual onanism" is a more sophisticated way ofsaying the same thing without triggering the bad word police.
Actually, triggering rowhammer-induced bit flips does not require knowing the memory geometry. It is possible to trigger bit flips just by picking random pairs of addresses to hammer. See the README file at https://github.com/mseaborn/rowhammer-test.
These teams have large coaching staffs that don't get fired and change more slowly. I would guess that a coach's impact is often more long term (in training, recruitment of players and staff).
I strongly suggest Shapiro's paper[0] on CRDTs. In a nutshell, the only really problematic data type are sequences such as arrays or strings. There are some specialized approaches specifically for those, and you can always fall back on a LWW conflict resolution.

In general, I like to think of Paxos as an approach that uses LWW for all value types.

How is a bunch of weight equipment relevant to a discussion on cardio equipment?
AWS offers Graviton instances in a bare-metal way too, so you can see for yourself what the SoC offers. It's quite clean, there is a Designware PCIe filtering quirk (same as on e.g. the Marvell Armada8k) but other than that it's SBSA-style UEFI+ACPI. Very standard system.

In terms of firmware openness, yeah, you don't get the firmware source, but you don't get to touch the machines physically either so you wouldn't have a chance to run a custom build anyway :D

There's apparently a lack of consensus which isn't surprising since I'm conflicted personally by these issues all the time: the tech itself is really cool, the practical effects and side effects often are not.
California has some of the highest taxes of any state; I don’t think the issue is that they are not taxing “fairly” as you put it.

In any case, the people of California do not seem to be getting very much for their tax money throughout all of the recent disasters there.

Is your comment saying that they need to be taxed more by California? Less?
They’d best make sure their staff - particularly bodyguards - don’t lose a loved one to a lack of ventilator access.
The donation above was to the charitable arm of a logistics company. Supply chain disruption is a big issue.

For regular PPE, there does exist supply abroad. The issue is quickly getting it where it needs to go.

(N95 has the biggest supply constraints, but I imagine this is helping with surgical masks, gloves, etc)
Presumably, they also have to keep the plasma cool, I am guessing some of that 90-tonne wait could be attributed to cooling gels/liquids of some kind to keep it stable for transport. Admittedly, I don't know how they would even transport this over long distances like that.
I have to admit that over the past 20 years, java is like the most stable robust, huge project, multiple teams, IDE friendly, type safe, infinite tooling and libraries language of choice!

Curious about the saline solution problem, it appears 0.9% concentration is available for roughly $10/L on internet marketplaces, likely can be manufactured much cheaper, but getting it for that price in a US hospital might be a challenge.
The quick answer is any emerged, severe case or death with the suspected presence of bilateral interstitial pneumonia (which symptoms are now well known globally) is registered as a covid case. It is fair enough when hospitals are out of capacity and people just die at home. The underlying point is Lombardy is suspected to have x5-x10 active circulating covid cases, which would put mortality at the same and more coherent, global rate. The fact that co-morbidity cases are all put into the same coronavirus basket is what makes numbers so high, but please consider these are all people who would not die today without coronavirus, and there is really no allowed time or resources to make better classification when more and more cases come knocking at the door daily.

This is like saying we shouldn't build or invest in computers anymore because they cost so much and take up whole rooms full of space.

Bitcoin is version 0.1 of a new way to record and share a common ledger. The cost and energy requirements are simple tradeoffs that are completely configurable to the applications needs.

Go look at all the alt coins out there, blockchain tech does not require the same levels of decentralization as Bitcoin, many work off more centrally controlled systems, not all require huge amounts of energy to mine blocks, and many are extremely aware of the need to be an environmentally friendly solution.

Like I get it's a very valid criticism to make about Bitcoin.

But it's such a contrarian for the sake of being contrarian thing to say and completely ignores ten years of alt coin and defi evolution.

Feel free to keep bag holding those "federal" reserve notes, they'll pay off one day I'm sure.
When it is about randoms on the internet I don't care enough. So I would do the same as parent poster.

Standing up for things is mentally expensive so you don't want to stand up for everything in your life, stuff on the internet is not like if someone forced into your living room.
Yes, I completely agree. I think however that the point was that whatever we build out of our best available physical theories ultimately relies on probabilistic grounds.

Now on the other hand, we don't use quantum physics for every single human project out there, and for many human scale phenomena, we can act without concious
probabilistic representations.
> The only way to turn this around is to change the way we give credit for scientific achievements, and stop rewarding "I wrote the grant" With authorships. (Im ex faculty)

I totally agree with your diagnosis of the problem, but I don't see how your proposed solution would solve anything.

First of all, grants are needed to do any meaningful research and advance one's careers in most fields, authorship or no authorship. So the incentive to spend a disproportionate amount of time selling oneself would still be there.

Second, as you yourself imply, the reasons why young faculty don't take a more active role in research are (mostly) not voluntary, it's because they are forced into the grant treadmill. I don't see why they deserve punishment (in the form of fewer authorships) on top of that. They're already overworked getting the grants and you want them to spend more hours in the lab to get authorships in addition?

Third, how do you even police authorships? Especially when a person has a position of power due to having the funding with which other people in the lab are hired. There are already guidelines from scientific societies that in theory don't allow people who just obtained the funding to claim authorship, but people do it anyway. Even if someone complained, they can claim that they actually contributed (e.g. by going through the paper, checking and polishing for correctness) and it's very hard to disprove.

I think the solution has to be to the tune of (1) funding purely based on past CV, not projects (spare us all the effort of convincing reviewers that what we're going to do is the bee's knees, and drawing fictional Gantt charts when in research it's practically impossible to predict anything. If we have produced relevant results in the past, we will probably keep producing them); (2) flatter funding (reward better CVs with better funding, but keep decent enough funding for everyone to keep feedback loops at bay and not throw people that got unlucky with experiments under the bus); and (3) individual funding for everyone instead of a large chunk of funding that goes to the head of the lab.

I've written some stuff that I'll try and release soon.
I have to say I'm not impressed by the link.

Intuitiveness is indeed highly correlated to previous human experience. But aside from pre-existing interfaces, an interface designer has available the whole of an average person's real world experience - the mouse is intuitive because it mimics a person's experience of moving a physical object - it doesn't mimic exactly but closely enough that a person can use their existing experience to extrapolate. And an interface designer who wanted to improve a standard interface may be able to find a different facet of human experience analogous to the task at hand and thus (contrary to the link) it is possible to create interfaces which are new and intuitive (but I'll admit it's damn hard and you should have a reason).

Most computer languages leverage human experience with natural language - not exactly, but partly. That's why Ruby's "return 5 if done" syntax seems really nice. Thus I'd argue you can make a reasonable study of what constitutes an intuitive interface.

So I claim the intuitiveness of Lisp's parentheses is a valid question for debate.
It really isn't. Replace "Lisp" with "Perl" and "theoreticians" with something evocative of the stereotypical Perl programmer and you have the exact same nonsubstantive rant that adds little to the discussion of what a good programming language should look like or why a particular one is bad.

I've been a "working programmer" who happens to write Common Lisp for a few years. Common Lisp is a programming language like any other: people who write good code in other languages can write good code in Common Lisp, and people who write bad code can make everyone's life just as miserable. Most time spent figuring out a new code base isn't the style or set of features used, it's figuring out the domain-specific logic. Macros aren't abused to any greater extent than C++'s operator<<, monkeypatching, or preprocessors.

I am of the opinion that anyone who calls Common Lisp a "theoretically-pure" language has not done anything but a simple recursion exercise: features like loop's inability to detect sequence type, the difference between progn and prog1 in terms of multiple values, having functions like rplaca or caar, and mixing &optional with &key are not what I think of when I think elegant or "theoretically-pure". They're there because the designers were sometimes wrong and sometimes doing the best with what they had.
Honestly, I don't think "Learn how to do it yourself" is a viable option for non-technical entrepreneurs looking to start a company. It takes years to become even competent at programming, and longer to be able to design a scalable web application proficiently. Besides, you probably want to spend your time doing the non-technical tasks that you're already good at - there will be plenty of that work to be done while you're getting your company off the ground.
I learned the progress bar element from eZine Articles. Watching my article never move but always sitting at 33% made me come back to the site day after day. I really had no intention of writing more articles. I was already there though, so, why not write 3-4 more?

Another great example of my willingness to give in to hypothetical progress bar and waiting lines was callgraph.biz. I signed up and was placed #2500 in queue. The first few days were manic refreshes and F5 key slamming. After those initial days, I gave up. Later on I was accepted, but I had lost my immediate thunder which I found while I was 'struggling' in a queue system. Luckily, being bombarded with "new test files available" in my inbox everyday convinced me to give them a try. It was a really interesting service and actually landed me a cheap part time job at my university. Who would have guessed "transcribing skills" was something people need? :D

I think a pseudo-queue system or a progress bar is actually quite heroic in the first few days. Later on, you lose that immediate faith and interest. You have to utilize it properly in those first few moments! Convince your user they're #25,000 in waiting list. Send them an email saying they've been bumped to #10,000 later on that evening for some random word in the signup form, etc. You'll have them craving your service.
If I’m remembering my discrete math correctly, your claim isn’t correct:

> … Let's assume 2 choices of work factor. Also let's assume strong passwords of length 8 have 96^8 ~= 53 bits of entropy and eak passwords of length 8 or less have 27^8 ~= 38 bits of entropy.

> You just let me cut the search space for strong passwords of length 8 to to ~15 bits…

You can’t subtract bits of entropy like that.

Here’s something I hope will convince you this reasoning is faulty.

Imagine a universe of 3-digit passwords, and there are two kinds of passwords: Strong ones use a mix of digits 0–7, and weak ones only use the digits '0' or '1'.

You could see the strong passwords could be any of 8^3 = 512 different combinations (~9 bits of entropy), except the 2^3 = 8 combinations (3 bits of entropy) that would only contain ones and/or zeros. So while a worst-case for brute-forcing a known-weak password is trying 8 strings, the worst-case for brute-forcing a known-strong password is trying 504 strings. This is still the same order of magnitude, and still approx. 9 bits of entropy! You removed such an incredibly small sliver of passwords, that an attacker really isn’t any better off than before.

Another way to think of this is, just because the user didn’t use only lowercase letters, doesn’t mean that none of the characters are!

Back to your example, with a strong password search space of 96^8. Now if you know a password is strong, that means it isn’t one of the 27^8 possible weak passwords. By how much does this reduce our search space?

7,213,895,789,838,336 possible strings of length 8

- 0,000,282,429,536,481 possible 'weak' 8-char passwords

= 7,213,613,360,301,855 possible 'strong' 8-char passwords

We’ve reduced our search space by only .0039%.

That said, rolling your own crypto — which the grandparent post isn’t really quite doing — is something you should run away from, fast, unless you really are a cryptographer!
I made a good living as a contractor for about 2 decades, although the aftermath of the .com implosion almost did me in, even though I had nothning to do with it. But I recovered and soldiered on. I finished a lucrative contract Sept 15, 2008. Then it was a year and a half of nothing or jobs tha paid way less than I was used to getting. I could make ends meet if I didnt pay taxes, but you know how that goes.

Then I got a job with a kind of Internet conglomerate. It isnt half bad. The pay plus the bonuses plus paid health care give me an income that's within 10% of a typical good consulting year. The health insurance was a biggie, because I couldnt get it any more. The people are talented and the corporate BS is less than I expected. I cant quite get my workweek down to the 40 hrs that is expected, but no more death marches.

I agree HN is not Twitter. 140 characters or fewer is often symptomatic of Twitterish behavior.

Yes, I'm currently paying $15/Megabyte on my iPhone. Nobody in Vancouver (Virgin, Rogers, Bell, Telus) is willing to sell me a "Pay-as-you-go MiFi) for a reasonable rate (< $200) - so I ended up buying a rogers Rocket-Stick for $150 and putting data on it, one day at a time for $15 @ 1 Gigabyte/day (or $5 for 50 megabytes/day - how's that for a curve), connecting to it from my MacBook Air for all my data needs.

I'm using Nginx now, and developing a RESTful API.

I was planning to use the HTTPDavModule (http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpDavModule) which adds the HTTP and WebDAV methods PUT, DELETE, MKCOL, COPY and MOVE.

Did you try this before? If its compatible with proxying, then it wouldn't be necessary to patch the server for HTTP PUT requests.

Yes. I turned vegan in 2017 but didn't pay attention to my sun-avoiding lifestyle. A year later I was convinced I had osteoporosis and/or arthritis, because both run in my family.

Doctor had blood tests done, and Vit D was on the floor. Since then I have taken 10,000ius daily under her ongoing supervision.

It took a long, long time to start to get better - maybe 14 months, and it's not done yet.

I also take zinc, magnesium and K2, since these have related benefits for the absorption of vitamin D.
Stonehenge is a gift that keeps giving. Everyone has their opinion about it, which is more of a mirror on them than anything to do with the stones.

For a joke there should be a Stonehenge week on YouTube where scores of armchair historians research and invent parallel narratives.

It is fascinating how any mystery can be projected on to a Pagan religious belief that does not have to be specified further.

Even if it was nuked from orbit TV crews would continue their documentaries.
I don't agree with cancelation of people and my political thoughts ARE generally conservative but I think it is time to push back against this right wing narrative that the "Left" is responsible for "Cancel Culture". I am old enough to remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks and Michael Moore when they publicly called out George Bush for Iraq War II. Just as the "Left" is now faining such outrage for what happened on Jan 6th, The "Right" is whining about "Cancel Culture". It amazes me how surprised people always are when their sides effective tactics, inevitably are used against them.

My favorite part of this article or rant was the term "Cry-Bullies", I think that has the potential of becomming a "Karen" like figure of speech.

The sarsen (sandstone) stones most likely came from West Woods, 15 miles from Stonehenge, but there's no known local geological source for the bluestones though. These do seem to have come from Wales somehow. The varied geological origins of the stones has caused a lot of confusion like this.

All they need to do is provide a great service with as much music as possible.

I wonder if adding 'as much music as possible' would drive any growth without the AI music discovery stuff. There has to be a diminishing return to adding new songs - if Spotify adds an artist that only a few thousand people have heard of then that's only going attract a few thousand new customers at most. No one else is going to listen to that artist unless Spotify recommends the songs to people who might like them.
