CPU manufacturers have too much chip real estate to know what to do with: The processor cores must be kept physically small to keep them fast. Multicore has predictably hit the software wall at 2-4 cores[1][2]. Caches also have diminishing returns (every doubling of the cache size gets 5-10% perf boost).

Intel has been adding features left and right where they can, and apparently the onchip memory controller is still simple enough to add more features to without performance hit. This is helped by memory being glacially slow compared to what happens in the CPU.

Biggest slice of Intel's x86 profits come from data centers (and that slice of pie is increasing), a major bottleneck of server workloads moving to "the cloud" is the lack of sound technical means to keep your data safe.

[1] Servers can use more cores but they can ditch the onchip GPU. GPU eats 4-8 cores worth of area in latest designs.

[2] Even in games, despite performance obsession and heroic optimization efforts, and pressure to squeeze most out of the ~8 cores in consoles: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/03/05/quadcore-gaming/
Re cached memory, isn't that how all file systems work across all the major operating systems? The kernel space will cache files to reduce disk IO but will immediately free that memory if a requesting application allocated more memory that's what's available in free memory alone. Which is why file servers perform best with ooodles of RAM and why one should always look at both the free + cached memory when calculating available memory on more general purpose systems.

Or was your NAS behaving subtly different from the standard above? (eg how ZFS cache doesn't appear as FS cache in ZoL despite freeing in much the same way as the above)
But why?

I'll assume the media mentioned in the article that's stored is illegal. From the cost of that home server you could very likely legally watch everything and actually support financing the creation of new stuff. Even if that's not true, how many of the movies you watched do you watch more than once? And 24 TB? How do you find time to watch that much stuff?

The amazon vine program sends people free items in exchange for reviews. I started running across absolutely crap 5 star reviews for grad level engineering and math textbooks from the vine reviewers 2-3 years ago. They would talk about how the binding seemed good, and how their was a lot of math and equations. Amazon ignored complaints at the time about these positive reviews. I'm guessing the bump in the star ratings lead to higher sales.

I haven't noticed the more organic type you are seeing, but it does not surprise me at all.
Agree. I've had literary thousands of libs/tools/apps dependencies in one of my projects that was built using automatic tools (Bitbake + Yocto). It's simply impractical to go through all these README's manually, so a tool to detect depreciated projects is a must in such situations. Of course, one could implement some tool to scan all README files for keywords ('DEPRECIATED', 'UNMAINTAINABLE' etc.), but that's just a workaround and I'd like a proper, reliable way to do that.
I usually look at the average / bad reviews that say "it was great but...", and if their concerns about it are unrelated "...this Nintendo wouldn't make my coffee in the morning!" or things that don't bother me, I take that as a good sign about the product. 5/5 and 1/5 reviews are often fake or nonsense.

Or you could vaccinate against a virus and prevent the cancer. Not all cancers need to be attacked the same way.
I have to admit, even as a technically competent guy with secondary school economics and a lifelong interest in economics, I have a hard time understanding the monetary system. I don't think people not understanding things fully is an adequate explanation for failure. As Milton Friedman is said to have said, "nobody knows how to make a pencil". Nobody fully understands any system they use, the world is just too complex for that. All they really need to know is how to use a system to get the results they want. By this measure, government issued money is very easy.
It is true, cash is everywhere and easy to access, but it is not easy to understand. It SEEMS it's easy to understand but the underlying system, WHY the cash has value and WHAT that value should be is less than obvious to most of the people on the planet.

>”...because we can cure cancer in mice.”

Actually as far as I know we can’t cure mice of cancer - by cancer I mean natural cancers that mice get as they age just like human cancers. I have looked through the literature in great detail and I can’t find a single recent paper where anyone has even tried curing mice of cancer. If anyone know of one I would love to read it.

The way we go about trying to cure cancer is insane. We basically take inbred mice, inject them with a cancer cell line to give them cancer, and then treat them with experimental drug X. This process is nothing like how real human cancers arise. On top of this we only test new drugs in people that have failed all other treatments and have very high tumour burdens. We then demand that the new drug have a significant effect in these patients despite us needing drugs that work in newly diagnosed patients. If we get a drug that works it is more by chance than design.

If there is no hierarchy driving direction then there are 350 groups.
Github.com is a great place for this. When you use an open source project from here, go ahead and contribute any issues you find, or comment on them if others have had them. Read a little of the code every once in a while and when you see something you can improve, make it happen.

But if you want to do a lot quickly, you need to find a project in active development. If possible, get in contact with the developers and find out how they are coordinating and planning. Are they using email? Slack? irc? Hangouts? Meetings? Join in if you can!

Once you've decided to get involved, read the code and really understand it. Make sure you are meeting the standards and conventions the others are using, and that your additions are compatible with the rest of the system.

If your not familiar with git, you need to be: http://think-like-a-git.net

If you get a good idea, make something simple and open source it. Put it up on Github and maintain it, to show that you are capable and interested in contributing. This might help you with teams that are a little skittish.

And if for some reason you can't find a good project to join, then get a friend or two together and make one. You want to make something that is useful to people, and actually gets people interested.

Some items to you might want to pay attention to when getting your project off the ground are mentioned in the ChangeLog article they are discussing here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2162078

This is only for DRM, right?

Very few people are getting viruses because someone has come into their house, connected the DRAM bus on their PC to a logic analyzer, and injected malicious code directly into memory. Instead, the malicious code is coming in through trusted code the user is running (web browser, faulty samba server), which encrypted memory does nothing to protect against.

I believe ARM has had this in the form of TrustZone for a while.

Hm, I sort of suspect that you skipped much of the first part of the guide, which talks about identifying the relevant risks, including - say - studying flood maps, identifying nearby industries, walking around the home to spot fire hazards, etc? And talks a lot about not obsessing about unlikely issues, when your greatest worries may be your own financial security or a house fire. It specifically instructs people to map out plausible risks and write response plans before they buy a single thing listed in part II.

The whole purpose of part II is to go over some cost-effective purchases iff you have a robust basis to prioritize a particular threat and a rough idea of how you want to solve it. So yeah, for example, the mention of respirators has to be interpreted in that context; very few people can meaningfully benefit from a respirator.

There are also mentions of being able to board up windows in locations prone to severe weather, etc. I would really like to address your concerns and improve the doc, but as it is, I'm sort of struggling to pinpoint the nature of the complaint :-(

When my proxy service stops working, I cancel my Netflix account, simple as that.

>"I have looked through the literature in great detail and I can’t find a single recent paper where anyone has even tried curing mice of cancer."

It's interesting how your perspective will change after reading the literature. It is the same thing with the various mutations claimed to cause cancer. For example, in this thread someone claims mutations to BRAF cause cancer. I am nearly certain that inspecting the literature will not result in any studies where that gene in a normal cell was mutated, and then it took on the properties of a cancer cell.

Maybe we will see some data on many cell generations later and in conjunction with various other treatments, but not the direct experiment of "non-cancer cell + BRAF mutation = cancer cell" while "non-cancer ell + control treatment = non-cancer cell".
What we need to do is get the price down of cancer drug development. The fundamental problem is cancer is really many diseases so that any targeted drug will only be specific for a very small subset of cancers. This means the market for any new targeted drug is very small and so the ludicrous cost of bring as new drug to market is too great to be supported by the small number of people that will use it.

The cost of these new targeted drugs is basically too high for any healthcare system to support, but the we need to make the drugs even more specific if we are going to get all the cancer types.

Smaller and smaller market with every rising development costs = failure.

It's cool that they provided bindings for Torch, but also interesting. Torch is obviously very widespread/popular as a deep learning framework, but I got the impression that Baidu's Silicon Valley AI Lab (SVAIL) ran mostly a custom C/C++ codebase.

Most likely the Torch bindings were added to help spur a wider variety of researchers to use their CTC implementation (i.e. it doesn't mean they've switch to Torch internally). But still interesting to see.

What if the maintainer never marks the library as deprecated? What if they're just hit by a bus?

I feel like if you have so many direct dependencies that you can't keep tabs on them, you simply have too many. Whoever decided it was OK to depend on that library should be able to follow it closely enough to say when it cannot be depended on.
shubhamjaim is probably referencing their stock exchange strategy, where they never give dividends and reinvest all benefits. In theory it makes the stock price rise, but one day the trust that Amazon can ever produce dividends will be ballotted (especially if Amazon meets severe hurdles) and the stock price may collpase, ruining all stock holders. So is it a giant Ponzi scheme?

Even Apple gave dividends, from 87-95 and 2012-now.
Cancer in humans is never driven by one mutation - if it were there is no way we could reach adulthood. Cancer is the slow process of accumulating mutations in cell lineages - the time between the first mutation in say BRAF and a metastatic cancer is 20 to 40 years. Lots of other mutations have to happen before you get clinical cancer.

Gas and oil will not be cheap forever. Now it goes down but when investors or governments want to rise its price, it can be easily changed. Just make some "noises" or "predictions" and the price will be affected.

Besides, electric cars have zero road emission. Drivers will not see the exhaust emissions by themselves. Electric cars shifted the emissions to the power plant so drivers will have less feelings about their contribution to global warming.
If 2 miners mine a block around the same time, it's a race to see who gets to a majority of other nodes first. The more data inside a node, and the further you are out in the boondocks, the slower it travels.

Since the major miners are out in the boondocks and they don't like losing $11,000 (the proceeds from a block), they would prefer a smaller block size.

Of course, the miners could simply refuse to accept transactions. There is nothing stopping them from creating empty blocks, or ones with few transactions, which would zip around the network faster (besides the loss of transaction fees, which is at the current time, very small).

Why they don't do this is that it is a delicate power play. If they upset the market too much by doing controversial stuff such as this, the market may turn on them. Therefore, it's in their best interest to lobby for the rules in their favor rather than acting contrary to the utility of the bitcoin network.

This doesn't unambiguously detect mismatches though. If it's a mirror, you have two copies of data, which one is bad? All RAID 1 knows is that they're different. If it's RAID456, again, all it knows is that there's a mismatch, it doesn't know if the data strips are wrong, or if the parity strips are wrong. The way ZFS and Btrfs deal with this is data is checksummed, and the fs metadata which includes the parity strips, are checksummed. So there's a completely independent way of knowing what's incorrect, rather than merely that there's a difference.

I suspect you're blatantly trolling, but I'm going to answer you for the sake of completeness

Pirate activity is most often limited to certain parts of the world. I have no desire (or real need) to visit the Gulf of Aden anytime soon to respond to that image you posted as that is one of the hotspots. Another hotspot is the Straight of Malacca, where it occurs against shipping and less against smaller pleasure craft.

Circumnavigations adhering to WSSRC rules typically dictate that each circumnavigation needs to be 21,600 nautical miles and crossing antipodal points. To stay within these guidelines, I can quite easily plot courses that avoid most pirate hotspots, since most of the time will be spent in the Southern Ocean.

I'm more concerned about colliding with whales, squalls and suffocation from leaky gas hoses than I am with pirates.

I agree that room for experimentation is needed, though I absolutely believe there should be some testing and registration involved eventually.
