Yes, as far as I know the very first cafés in Europe opened in the 17th century in Vienna, Paris and London and then spread to Italy and the rest of the Austro-Hungarian empire over the following two centuries.
It doesn't make sense to complain that an accessory you can buy for $5 will now cost $30 because your phone is expensive? How does that line of reasoning even follow?

This is literally the same as saying "I won't be able to afford higher cigarette prices" "well don't get an expensive phone then".
It has been suggested by peers/friends - who have clinical expertise in this area - that I'm somewhere on the spectrum. I don't see it but it has been mentioned enough times to me by different people (always in a careful/courteous manner mind you) that I've let it warrant some consideration over the years.

No biggie. I've a partner, am employed and happy. Kinky too as far back as I can remember. It certainly made for a different kind of sexual development in my teens and early twenties. There was some sense of frustration and disappoint as I couldn't fathom how my sexual trajectory had become so misaligned to that of my peers. It was just different enough that I'd considered I might be the only one so kept quite about it. It took a while longer (post university) to realise there were plenty of others with similar interests.

On occasion I've bumped into or met/seen some professional peers (same research interest) in these settings. Slightly unsettling to say the least from a practical point of view as I could end more directly working with any of these people in the future. I've felt such incidents are difficult to put down to coincidence.
It wasn't this way a few releases ago. I remember setting up Liberia time zone when I wanted UTC.

Manual SIMD intrinsics is getting there, not sure how far it has come by now:

I'm sure LLVM does a fair bit of vectorization under the hood too of course, but not sure whether better knowledge of aliasing lets it do more or whether less undefined behavior sloppyness in Rust lets it do less of it than for C++.

Branch hint intrinsic: an accepted RFC but not yet implemented https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/26179

Prefetch intrinsic: Looks like a rejected rfc https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/125

Inlining: As far as I understand the attributes are #[inline(always)] and #[inline(never)] respectively.

I feel the same way. I tried to like VSCode but it's just all the small things that trip me up. I've really come to depend on STs mini-map and miss it when it's not there. VSCode is just slightly slower than I feel it should be, causing me to pause and crash my train of thought.

I remember 7 years ago following this one: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1109 (Alarm clock produces no sound or vibration). I was an "early adopter" of Android and, as result of this bug, got late for work two or three times. :)

They marked it as "obsolete", but - to be honest - I still wouldn't trust an Android as my alarm for anything.
The best example is of SSL. Over a decade and we have not even got "correctness" part right.
If I'm making very little money, and I have equipment that requires a USB 3.1 charger, then it is even more important that my (expensive) equipment is not damaged - then, instead of being out an extra $7 for a charger, I've potentially lost many hundreds of dollars damaged by a out-of-spec charger/cable.

This is a very real problem: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/google-engineer-finds...

This wasn't that big of a deal in the Pre 3.1 era, because the power levels typically being supplied were less, and there was a broad understanding of the power levels that were going to be supplied.

You write, "Those people are going to look for cheap USB chargers, even if they are sub standard quality - and the market will fill that niche one way or the other." - and I totally agree with you, which is the entire reason why these certification programs are required - to ensure that only systems certified to be in-spec will be recognized.

My 10 Watt USB charger, that I've carried with me all over the world for 2+ years, powers up my iPhone, my iPad, and my battery-backups. I use it every single day, usually multiple times/day. I realize that an extra $7 can be a lot of money for some people, but, spread over 2 years, for something so important, it seems to be a reasonable investment.

It becomes an even bigger deal once you can also charge your laptop off the same charger.
What a coincidence: yesterday I was doing shopping and it struck me, that on the package of sausage (kabanos [1], to be precise) of $2 value they put the same RF stickers as on $200 electronics (while they don't do it on many more expensive products). I asked a clerk about that and she told me, that thieves are really keen on this particular type of product, along with shavers and some cosmetics.

I'm also a noob, but according to parent, the reason why the iPhone runs faster is that all optimisation is done for 1 core, which would then leave the 8 cores doing nothing, despite having much, much more raw power available than the single iPhone core.

Or put in another way: If we want more raw processing power, we need more cores, but we don't want more cores because software is optimised for a single core.
But then I can't use Anker's chargers either? Anker has done me the good that most alternatives fail to accomplish for me. Also what about those lovely portable chargers? All useless now? :)

What's with everyone getting offended over "[ethnic group]"? What probably happened was that the employee said it and the GP censored it before quoting, without much thought. No need to get all worked up about it.

Yes — because most applications are still written as if for single core. This is the vicious cycle I am talking about.
Yep, there were revolutions in Europe that started out in coffee shops.
I think there's a HN cultural preference to avoid stream-of-consciousness tangents, so even clever or informative -- but off-topic -- replies to such tangents tend to suffer.

IMO this is the source of some people's impression that humour isn't welcome here. My experience is the opposite - on-topic (and funny) comments do well even if only a joke or quip, but off-topic humour sinks, even if clever and civil.

I'm quite lowbrow and really enjoy the more clever comment chains on Reddit, but I also appreciate the HN alternative, where attempts at pun chains, etc. sink to the bottom and on-topic thoughts rise.
It's known for thousands of years - but it's nice to see how school medicine is catching up with the Buddhists and the Shamans :)
"Perhaps what our culture lacks, in the end, is the ability to understand itself."

Unfortunately I think this is very true.

I'm not sure but I think our liberal thinking became money thinking. And when a lot of decisions are based on money the human factor is lost. Then it becomes hard to understand what our culture is about.

A small example is the way we build. A lot of buildings are made cheap, for status, and so on. This alienates us because we as humans don't fit in. But it can be hard to tell why we got the feeling we don't fit in. The ability to understand is lost.

It'd be interesting to see if that branch exhibit the same behavior and issues.
We are stuck with x86 for good. Intel is doing impossible things both in engineering and business execution, and it's really hard to compete with them for anyone.

Multicore ARM is still inferior to multicore x86.

I'm probably missing something but how has the West worked hard to make Muslims feel impotent?

Totally agree with your final point. There's not much sign if any that a re-framing of Islam is going to take place. Ever tried asking a Muslim if there is any bit of the Koran that should be ignored or altered?

If you don't use the whole antibody, the serum half life us capped in the knees because the body gets rid of serum proteins without glycosylation. In the case if antibodies, glycosylation is on the heavy chain FC region.

The first protein antibody conjugates were to couple ricin to antibodies in the late 80s. Ricin's warhead polypeptide chain conveniently has a single cysteine residue that they tried to conjugate to antibodies using disulfide exchange. Of course this was not kind to the antibodies, and the structural disruption is very likely one of the reasons this strategy failed miserably.

In general the challenge for ADC is that attaching your drug to an antibody is nontrivial, and the titer is tricky. How many of your molecule does it require to take down a cell? 100? 1,000,000? Can you deliver that number of molecules to each cell, that start reliably conjugated to a large molecule, after yield losses as a result of molecular decoupling?

Linux is still flexible. I am willing to pay for an OS that just works and I will accept a fair amount of opinionated software (like systemd or Ubuntu's snappy package format) if that makes it happen.

I am a consumer who wants an OSX experience in the Linux world. And there are millions out there like me.

Am I forcing you to buy in ? not at all - the beauty of Linux is that you can use LFS, Gentoo or Arch which allows you to customize and play with your particular set of philosophies.

Not all opinionated software is malicious - at the end of the day, software is merely an expression of the person and their beliefs. And sometimes they just want to believe in one thing.

I dunno. Do all people have the right to feel important and powerful, even when don't work in the framework of capitalism and modern economics to do so? Is that not their own fault for not integrating into the modern system like China, South Korea, or Singapore have?

> I'm probably missing something but how has the West worked hard to make Muslims feel impotent?

Various wars, alliances, propping up Israel, and British Empire before that. Muslims in general don't want to see other Muslims attacked by non-Muslims. They are fine if Muslims attack each other though.

I don't think you would have a problem getting people to want to hire you without a degree. What you should really look into (and I had to do this as well, though not moving from Russia) is what countries you can easily get a visa to without a degree (even if an employer is willing to hire you). In my case I had to first get my Australian citizenship (originally Ukrainian, but Australian resident at the time) to qualify for a Working Holiday visa to Europe to make my preferred move (then looked for employment once there).

Another option might be to try to get a job at a Russian branch of an international company - sometimes working at a local office for a year or so can legally make transferring overseas within the same company easier.

> The shutter speed was probably a little slower than for the other photos in order for him to get into position, which explains why he seems to be moving and why the glow from his flashlight looks like a lightning flash. The graininess of the photo, though, is likely due to the radiation.

Yeah, wouldn't that have been exotic. Having worked many years with high end scanning and digitizing photographs from the 1850 to today I can say that apparent grain in a photo from the 80s is not a strange thing, especially if it's a high ISO film. Correcting a bad exposure when post processing enhances that grain. The "graininess" here looks more like interpolation artifacts after upressing, possibly a highly compressed JPEG, though.

I'd prefer rigorous licencing and somewhat expensive authentication to the current USB free for all where a £5 charger can destroy your £500 device.

If we end up replacing the current market where chargers run £1-£30 with one where they're £8-£35, but can be confident of reasonable levels of basic electrical functionality and safety, I'd be happy enough.

If you really wanted to find out about the quote, it's just a google search away. For everyone else, it's useless pop culture trivia obscuring real content.

To take this work more seriously I miss the discussion of the potential negative effect of their patches. The way it's presented, it gives the false impression that "it will just work."

However, their premise of "just wake the idle cores as soon as there are threads to run" can actually be harmful in some real-life scenarios, especially regarding the additional power use and the slowdown introduced by switching from the filled to the empty caches.

Intuitively, as they demonstrate the "speedup" on some specific programs using some specific patterns I'd expect that some specific programs and patterns exist that don't necessary benefit from every change they present.
In this case, the problem is not how much power the computer "feeds" to the phone, the problem is how much amperage the phone draws from the computer. The bad Type-C cable can be incorrectly configured to indicate to the phone that the Type-A computer end can provide more amps than it actually can, and then the phone will provide less effective resistance across the 5v power wires than is appropriate. In this case it's more likely to damage the USB port on the computer.

It's also theoretically possible that this cheap cable could be wired very wrong and short some power wires itself. But there was, like, only one cable people have found on amazon that was that ridiculous ...
Good for you. Then you can go and buy the authenticated charger, and others can move on to something else.

I'm sympathetic to Jeremy's case, which is actually extremely common in Silicon Valley (group of people get together informally to work on a startup, nothing serious or 100% legally tied up, group of people break apart, idea takes off, legal issues ensue).

But anyone taking either Sam or Jeremy's word at face value has no idea what they're talking about. You have no basis to trust Sam or Jeremy in this hundred-million-dollar matter. Both sides have hundreds of millions of reasons to exaggerate or distort their case.
MH370 Debris Was Planted, Ineptly
I lived in a country where $10 was a normal day wage. Lots and lots of iPhones there. It is a choice, THEIR choice. It is not up to you (or me) to be snobby and tell them not to buy expensive products because they don't earn enough money to do so.

When the charger that comes with the product breaks they'll need another one. If they can buy a cheap one that "just works" then yes that will make a difference. Even if the cheap one isn't certified. Not all of them are the horrific death traps that have been highlighted.

We don't know that yet, they could just hand out keys with a PKI handled by a third party, once the device and manufacturing process are validated.

But: it will cost money, and someone will have to foot the bill. USB is one of the most open and universal standards out there, and it is sad that is has come to this, since it could be needed for safety (the amount of power it manages is no longer negligible).

I don't know which, "they" you are referring to here - the end customer, the standards body, the charger manufacturer, or the manufacturer of the equipment being charged?

The customer quite often just wants the cheapest price, the charger manufacturer doesn't care about anything other than selling lots of chargers, the two groups that do care, the Standard Body, and the manufacturers of the equipment being charged do care about energy quality and equipment protection. In the case of the manufacturer of the equipment being charged - you are right, they can take steps to protect their equipment, but it costs a bit of money to engineer a subsystem to detect a 100 watt charge and protect the upstream gear - likely cheaper just to query and confirm that the downstream device is certified and then trust it (somewhat). You still need the protection (defense in depth) - but starting off with certified chargers certainly helps. The standards body, really has every incentive to ensure that the only certified vendors can manufacture chargers that will be (broadly) accepted.
