This is more common with undergrad degrees, I studied physics at the UW where my friend and lab partner died during finals week of his second to last quarter. I suspect that it is usually done quietly for the benefit of friends and family, and in his case it did give some comfort to people who knew him.

Had more or less this exact idea for a website before, with the exception of using wiki for the main technology, and there being different paths to learning the material provided by curators.

Essentially it'd say go to this tutorial, now this tutorial. Now watch this video. Now do this exercise. Very similar to online courses nowadays, except it all pointed to external links and volunteer contributions, and there'd be more than one path for learning the same material (probably with comments and ratings to help you pick which one to try).

There's a billion tutorials online, but things get out of date, and you have to hunt them down, and some people might think one link is more important than another, hence the different paths.

But I shelved the idea after seeing online courses getting better and incorporating a lot of my ideas.

I'm not disagreeing about the work that RPi is doing. I was addressing this part: "getting a solid, reliable kernel with open source drivers is far from easy."

If the chip vendor doesn't provide the drivers then the integrator can't either.
Yes, you are correct that there are two issues. But solving 2 may solve 1 automatically or just need the compiler barrier intrinsics in the same spots as the processor barrier intrinsics.

And yes, the first issue can be fixed with memory barriers. If you put a compiler+processor read barrier in front of the first line that reads the shared variable the compiler will re-read it from memory back into a register. After that it will use the register as to not kill performance until it hits the barrier again.

I never understood the value of a judge authorization requirements for surveillance. Has there ever been a recorded case where the request was denied, except maybe for even more shady reasons? I just don't see any incentive the judge could have to actually make an informed decision instead of just issuing rubber-stamp approval. Even in the unlikely worst case scenario of a scandal of rampant spouse-spying, a simple "but i trusted these guys!" would grant complete forgiveness. The only advantage, in terms of civil right is a weak paper trail and a slight slowdown of operations.

What if, instead of the judge approval requirement there would be a simple, "mechanical" lockdown of surveillance capabilities that would just ensure a paper trail and enforce an artificial quota of operations per time?

"Want to spy on that guy because you don't like his face? Your call, but don't come running when you have run out of quota, you really don't want to be that guy who could not stop an actual terrorist because he wasted all his surveillance wildcards on a personal vendetta".

This sure would not yield perfect results, but i really believe that the existing judge authorization requirements are even worse.
Fair enough, though when I was fat people always stated this as "you just need to be confident". What people fail to understand is that it's almost impossible to fake confidence and confidence in social situations is greatly influenced by how people react to you. When people (i.e. women) you've just met freeze the conversation with one word answers and other responses that lead nowhere, you can either monolog or abort. It's tough to just be cocky in isolation
A lie is a false statement, hence you cannot "lie by omission". This is an absurd assertion.
Exhibit A, the gaming media. Note how many of the people involved are from upper class families with large trust funds and a tendency to get everything they say printed by almost anyone else in the industry.

But either way, this is why the public has lost so much trust in the media. With a few exceptions here and there, they basically just serve powerful interests and try and shut down any independent attempts at social change.

Part of it might be wages, average journalist wages aren't particularly high at the moment (especially not in less mainstream fields). So they tend to only be liveable for people with pre existing wealth and networks.

I partially see where you are coming from... the equivalent made up story goes something like this:

I am a payroll clerk at Company A and I pay myself an extra $10,000 a month illegally for 10 years. For some crazy insane reason no criminal charges are ever brought directly against me but a civil court finds me at fault for stealing the money. I pay the $1,200,000 back to Company A and pay a fine, $1,000 to the man. I claimed that $1.2 million as income and paid taxes on it so I should get my tax money back!

The sad part is the damage they did was probably in the trillions, but this civil court couldn't realistically make them pay that back. Much of their meager slap on the wrist is tax deductible...
I can see that there might be demand for this, although I would not recommend this app to my friends so that's a bad sign. I fear that casual people trade stocks for certain reasons - only one of which is to make money. In particular, I think a lot of people trade stocks because they have certain hypotheses about the world / markets and they want to test them out or be able to talk about them. Even people who invest in index funds have strong beliefs about which index funds are best. I guess you can tap into the "which managers are best", kind of, but it doesn't seem as appealing for some reason.

What would you set the quota at? Surely 'zero' is the best quota and each case deserves thorough oversight and consideration.

If you do put in a quota you're implicitly saying 'police should be searching this number of times but no more' and there is simply no way of knowing what that number should be in advance.

This makes it sound like the reason you are losing weight isn't the keto diet - it's the lower calorie total. Ketosis is the framework you are using to stick to it, not the method itself.

The result is the same for you, but that does mean there's other ways to get to the goal than the keto diet. (which is good news for everyone)
That's interesting, when I interviewed (admittedly it was like 8 years ago), the first interview was standard CS questions and the second interview focused on deeper C++ questions (things like analyzing how a vtable is constructed).
My understanding is that originally [and perhaps currently] Hacker News uses the file system for storage and that the id number is the name of a file on disk. A few years ago, I recall a discussion about a reorganization of the files from a single [or few?] directories into a more broadly branched tree. The basis for doing IIRC so was to improve performance.

My impression is that this would be a simple way to produce a RESTful interface. When the resource is a file on disk, how complex does application layer routing have to be?

Anyway, my guess is that general SEO is not particularly high on the list of features to implement. On the other hand, if adding Algolia and the API then it's another story. That was also a substantial improvement to the feature set. It might even turn up the aforementioned discussion about the file system hierarchy [I think PG wrote the post].

Good luck.

At least for me current Firefox on Windows locks up more often than on Linux, but that's most likely due to Windows having more coarse grained locks hanging around in the subsystems than Linux does.

Sounds like a whole lot torschlusspanik. But you've already pointed that out. Look, you've got a lot going for you except your outlook on how you think the dating world is going to perceive you.
I've never really understood why apps like Tinder are labelled shallow, when in actual fact they mimic life more accurately than, say, OKC for example. IRL,I imagine, that you like the way somebody looks before saying hello to them, then you start talking to them until they do something weird that disqualifies them or they do something that you really like and you take it further. I think Tinder captures this model of interaction perfectly. In real-life 3D interactions, nobody is walking around with a bio with their hobbies,likes, dislikes and pet-peeves. Tinder may be scary because it so perfectly captures reality in it's raw unfiltered form.
Anyway, I don't think I'd be able to convince you that you would probably do quite well in the dating world and that there really is nothing to be so besorgt about. I don't think people's views on dating have shifted that much even though the method of introduction has. You should go out and just test your assumptions and find out that many of them are really quite unfounded.
If I were in the position of that judge I would like to be able to bring experts on my own. Is that possible?

(I wouldn't trust either the defense nor the prosecution to provide me with neutral information via their selected experts.)
I interviewed as SRE four months ago and I got a very typical programmer phone screen and interview, just exactly the kinds of whiteboard CS questions you expect Google might ask. (My bigger strength is on the programming side instead of the ops side, so I think perhaps they explicitly tailored the interview to measure that.)

So, the reason is...

Just like politicians taking credit and blame for economic conditions. Is your argument that they dodge because think taxation is theft? Fine, figure out a way to get them to pay for the government goods and services they use. If they don't pay, they don't get to use them!
Given that most of the content on Tor is illegal,[1] I'm not sure the mail is really the appropriate analogy.

I think that traffic originating from an IP address is very weak evidence, regardless of whether someone runs a Tor node or not. With all the malware and insecure, unsupported software running everywhere, it might be more likely than not that random illegal traffic is coming from IPs whose owners are oblivious.

I would hope that law enforcement has more evidence than just an IP in a server log when they raid your place.

Right. This is somewhat the point of the oppositional trial system; we can't expect a biased party to bring up all facts relevant to the case, so we bring in someone else with the opposite bias to give the judge the rest of the facts.

In these expedited judicial-request hearings, there isn't an explicit defendant, so there's no oppositional counsel to bring in. Maybe we need to bring back the concept of a "devil's advocate"...
Except in this case Bultmann and Robinson are Hertz, not the customer. They also knowingly rented to a drug dealer.

Another analogy may be running a Hertz in Saudi Arabia and renting to women without male guardians present.

The computer is not rented, they were in control of a device that may have been used to distribute child pornography. They themselves claim to know and understand this but feel that the risk of enabling criminal behavior is outweighed by the benefits to society of the "good" crime. Such as expression of dissent against regimes they disagree with.

I'm not convinced this search was unreasonable from a legal perspective. I do not know enough about the legal precedent around running a Tor node but I could understand if they are on the hook for what happens with their node. I respect what they are doing and I don't think what they are doing is wrong morally but they are taking on a risk which they believe is outweighed by the benefit.
Good point, I didn't read into the ratio of fines/restitution. Appears that half is deductible + any other expense they associate with the case/trial
You're trusting Intel, essentially.

It would be interesting to see Intel open their SGX platform so as for it to be configurable, and use it to attest Tendermint nodes. Accountable BFT consensus benefit from hardware attestation.
That's my point... if you're a U.S. citizen, even if you don't live in the U.S., you still pay U.S. income tax.

Edited to say, I agree with your larger point though. This situation is ridiculous, and income earned outside the U.S. should not be taxed by the U.S. gov't. in my opinion.

For me Firefox runs smoother on Linux+X11, but machines and software versions and configuration can differ, so I believe you when you say it's better on Windows. At least for me Windows Firefox locks up more frequently, perhaps due to Windows' coarse-grained locks in its subsystems.

This is such a poor example of data analysis, even for a non-technical blog post. No mention of at least normalizing data, no mention of confidence or measures of uncertainty. Also, as others have mentioned, poorly written.

If this was an attempt, as the comment above implies, to paint themselves at data driven, they failed. It impressed upon me the opposite, that they have no grasp of how to analyze and use data effectively.

> That is the actual reason for the government giving student loans instead of the banks - there really isn't a good way to tell if someone will pay it back, and no one has had enough time to prove responsibility at that age.

Fair point, but if it is really true that there is no way whatsoever to establish credit-worthiness, I don't think anyone (government or private business) should be issuing student loans.

Yet, are you sure that just because these kids^H^H^H^H young adults don't have a credit score that there isn't a way for banks to assess the likelihood of repayment? We all have ways of informally assessing a person's likelihood of success (and therefore at least their ability to repay). We look at things like SAT scores, college GPA, the quality of their school, the quality of their choice in major, etc. Banks could make the credit available to a student each year/semester dependent upon whatever of these factors are available. Banks could try out different risk-assessment models and the market would select those banks that have good enough models to produce a return on investment.

And if our current credit score system is the only way to reliably measure credit-worthiness, why not use it? The obvious negative consequences include delaying when people can get a start on their career, and just the general economic chaos that would result from drastically altering the incentives at play. I am skeptical of radical change, but it is not immediately obvious that these negatives (while serious) are less than the consequences of our current usurious system.
