Only if you think the company is actually worth more. If you think it's worth less and the buyers are suckers, then you'd want to vote yes so you can get extra money before reality sets in. Which is to say, your incentives for voting line up with whether you think the buyout is a good deal.
It runs at 2x the clock rate as the main chip. So if the chip is running at 2Ghz, the ALU is running at 4Ghz.

While this might not make sense at the surface (the next stage of the pipeline won't be ready for the data a half clock cycle earlier), you can minimize logic area by doing 2 quick 16 bit operations. Additionally, for some operations that have dependent instructions, for example a super scalar processor executing two integer instructions at once, if you have an ADD that depends on another ADD, you can forward the result from the first cycle on the first ALU to the second cycle on the second, although I'm not sure if this is actually done.

Another case where this is useful is if the result of an ADD operation needs to be used on a LOAD instruction earlier, you can forward the result a half clock cycle sooner.
I think of basic income as a venture capital firm that treats us all as individual startups. Lots of value can be generated by people doing what they find worthwhile on their own terms. Some people will sit around playing video games all day. Others will raise their kids. Others (like me) will build things. I'd wager we'd get more out of this then forcing people to work at McDonalds.

Looking forward to speaking with you!
So glad that as I was growing up, my ADHD tendencies were seen more as just an individual issue I'd have to learn to control myself rather than a physiological condition in need of medication. Granted, in my street-wise years I've found stimulants and I get along really, really well, but there's a nagging feeling that I simply don't want to be on amphetamines daily. It might turn my writing into delusional drivel like Ayn Rand, a noted speed addict for decades.
It's really nice to have these things written out, the interfaces used by gcc options that insert extra code/calls are typically undocumented (except for their source code).

kasan, asan, and ubsan are similarly lacking in docs (but are also composed in much the same way). I imagine some of the profiling hooks are done similarly, but I have not yet looked into how to use them.

It'd be really nice if gcc considered these semi-public interfaces that they should document.

> I plan to add other other debugging features in the following weeks. I have an idea on how to use the MPU to prevent thread stack overflows (different from the buffer stack overflow we explored today).

On that note, one can actually abuse the debug hardware on cortex-m3 chips without an MPU to add stack overflow protection. Simply need some hooks into the scheduler around where it switches tasks (some already poison the top of their stacks & check for the poison on switching, the keep-out can typically be applied very close to these locations).

The debug hardware takes a base+mask, so one can theoretically block access to wider spans of memory that a single u32, but at that point calculating the best way to cover that memory range becomes a bit difficult.
Buyers are often only interested in buying 100% of a company. If an all or none bid comes in, either the people who want to accept or the people who want to reject are going to be unhappy. When setting up a company you have to plan how to deal with this possibility in advance, without knowing the specifics of any offer. Most large public companies come to the conclusion that letting the majority decide is the fairest thing to do, and most shareholders know that's how it works when they are buying the shares.

SEEKING WORK
Location: Nomad; Remote/Travel OK

I’m an MIT alum and contract iOS engineer, and I’ve been helping companies develop iOS apps for 4+ years. I love new product development and specialize in working with fresh ideas and incomplete specifications. I’ve also worked with a number of established companies on existing products: Disney Interactive, FiftyThree, Sanebox and Lexicon Branding for example.

I’ve had my work featured in the App Store numerous times and written up in publications such as Wired, CNet, Fast Company, and The Verge.

I’d be happy to talk about potentially working together. Feel free to send me an email at vf@alum.mit.edu.

> this possibility should be covered in the shareholder agreement.

1. It's a statutory right, so it doesn't need to be and generally isn't covered in shareholder agreements: By law in Delaware (where Dell was incorporated) and probably most other U.S. jurisdictions, minority shareholders who don't vote for a buy-out, and don't otherwise consent to it, can't stop the buy-out from going through, but they have the right to demand a judicial appraisal of the "true" value of their shares. [0] [1]

2. Also, public companies normally don't even have shareholder agreements among all shareholders. The articles of incorporation and the bylaws are probably the closest approximation. In many jurisdictions, the board of directors can unilaterally change the bylaws without shareholder approval. (Shareholder approval is often required for changes to the articles of incorporation, though.)

> Really? Fixing our crumbling infrastructure isn't valuable?

Building infrastructure isn't unskilled labor so can't be used as a basic job. Moreover, the fact that the government sometimes needs to hire people to do things doesn't mean they can't do that but only when things actually need doing, and then independently have a basic income.

> Providing childcare to working mothers is useless?

This is what I'm talking about. Let's take some mothers who need to provide for their children and give them jobs digging ditches and filling them back in, then pay some strangers to watch their children while they're doing it. Might it be better to allow mothers to be paid when they take care of their own children?

> Glad to know there is nothing useful the govt can possibly do with more labor.

This is the most basic flaw in the basic job. The government is not qualified to decide this. It's the fallacy of the centrally planned economy that the government is better at allocating labor than individuals.

> This can be resolved by making BJ suck and pay below min wage.

In which case you can't give people jobs doing economically productive things because you have to give them jobs that are more demeaning and loathsome than jobs doing economically productive things, and then they can't actually live on wages below minimum wage so you still need the existing welfare system.

> On the other hand, you seem to be ignoring the third option: watch TV all day while collecting money. We already know that free money (typically in the form of welfare and unemployment) induces this behavior.

...when getting a job causes you to lose the welfare or unemployment benefits.

> As for the arithmetic, the question is this: ...BI is far and far more expensive than unemployment benefit: BI is also paid to people who work. Maybe some BI advocate should try to convince me but to me it looks like this will far outset the advantage above.

If the average person pays $10,000 more in taxes to fund a basic income and then receives the $10,000 basic income, it didn't cost them $10,000, it's just a no-op.

> Your calculations seem to work in your hypothetical society. Do they work on something approximating reality?

Please specify what part of the calculations you find unrealistic.

Obviously the numbers there are chosen to balance exactly so that nobody loses or gains anything and in practice throwing out a huge system with complicated rules and then replacing it with something simpler is going to have winners and losers. But the general principle that wealthier people pay more taxes than they receive benefits and poorer people receive more benefits than they pay taxes will continue to hold and the result will be lower marginal tax rates on effectively everyone (or, if BI is large enough that the new system is more redistributive than the existing one, everyone other than high income people).

Competition really hasn't been healthy, beginning with the Kepler generation. Ever since then, AMD has been unable to get a solid win, and most of their cards have been rebrands. They're still running some first-gen GCN chips (dating back to 2012) in their current lineup. Heck, some of their prices have actually increased in the last few years (eg the 390 rebrand raised the price by $100).

NVIDIA held the upper hand with GK110 (780/Titan), then AMD dropped the 290X. This forced NVIDIA to readjust their prices and release the 780 Ti as an interim measure, but they held onto their lead position. Then NVIDIA started with the Maxwell series, which drastically improved both performance and efficiency. AMD tried to respond to the Titan X with the Fury X, but NVIDIA cut the legs out from under them by releasing the 980 Ti. Now once again AMD is behind the performance curve - NVIDIA has staked out the high-end space with the 1080 and the midrange with the 1070, and AMD is stuck in the low-end market with the RX480 until NVIDIA can get GP106 out.

AMD's response to the 1080 is going to be the Vega 10 chip, and unfortunately it's unlikely to be released before Q4 2016 at the earliest (more likely Q1 or Q2 2017). NVIDIA already has GP102 coming down the pipe, which is going to be a Titan/1080 Ti, and they'll drop that when they feel it's necessary to spoil AMD's sales.

That's the story of AMD and NVIDIA recently. AMD has put out some cards that were good value for the money - both the 7950/7970 and 290/290X have been very long-lived performers (and will likely continue to perform well thanks to DX12). But they haven't taken the top since 2012, all they can do at this point is force some price reductions. Like it or not they aren't a serious competitor in the GPU space any more than they are in the CPU space. They are a budget choice, not a serious contender.

You can get away with it in Postgres. The app I work on stores phone numbers in a JSONB array in the following format:

[{
"tags": ["cell"],
"number": "1231231234"
}]

Here's a snippet demonstrating how you can do a lateral left join on the column to find the number tagged 'cell' in tags array:

select * from mytable t
left join lateral (
select phone->'number' as cell_phone from
jsonb_array_elements(t.phone_numbers) phone
where phone->'tags' @> '["cell"]'
) p on true;

Australia has very strong safety nets. Currently welfare pays $250AUD per week for a single person or $225 each for a couple. There is also plenty of social housing.

My favorite welfare program they've created (called NEIS) is for those who want to start their own company. You get paid the above but get to build a company instead of having to search for a job (which is very useful when there are no jobs available in your area).

It isn't realistic with stocks. Are you really going to go get 100% consent from every single person that has stock in company? Even the people that only hold 100 shares (or 1 share for that matter)? You would never be able take publicly traded company and make it private this way.
I've managed to lose data with Etcd, and have regularly had issues with membership issues requiring maintenance. Meanwhile I've had Glusterfs volumes remain available for 5-6 years without maintenance at all.

To me at least, having it "backed by etcd" is a big red flag, not a feature.
This all makes sense as to why they might not have wanted to sell, but doesn't this ruling invalidate the entire reason to vote? Constituents don't get any sort of compensation if their preferred political candidate doesn't win the election, or if a bill passes that they voted against. Why would this be different in the case of a vote for a buyout?
no (though I'm not kbenson), because your entire premise that wealth today is strictly correlate with "skilled / educated / work harder" is bullshit.

Yeah, I know some people think that we live in a meritocracy where if you have wealth, you deserve it, and there's no luck or dishonesty or cheating or inherent unfair inequalities — but it's obvious you don't come to that view by looking at the evidence, you come to that by something along the lines of reading Ayn Rand and just believing that nonsense or something similar.

In reality, lots of wealth is captured by those whose action provide no positive value to the world. Lots of success involves luck. And lots of people working shitty not-so-productive jobs have the potential to be far more effective and UBI would assist that in ways other approaches do not.

Anyway, even if we disagree about tons of things, you could have productive discussions with people if you didn't insist on bullshit implications like the idea that all the people in high-paid jobs are hard-working, deserving, productive folks while all low-paid people are the opposite.

Universal cancer vaccine claim
I love CoreOS and they've done some super impressive engineering. But really, a new storage system? Rewriting in Go and using etcd for central state management makes things easier, but this is still a hard problem.

Some things that need to be solved sooner or later: data replication so that N faults of X entities are protected against (X can be disks, enclosures, racks, data centers, regions, ..), recovery from failed disks, scrubbing, data management, backups, some kind of storage orchestration and centralized management.

If you look at Ceph which IMHO represents the state of the art in software defined storage, it took many years to get it to a point that it was usable. I hate to be cynical but in this case I would be surprised if CoreOS can pull this of. I wish them all the best though and would be happy for them if I am wrong.
>Your comment suggested a new tool/feature to me: what if we had something like Google, except it added the additional constraint where it only led you to sites/pages that were in that old retro lean static simple HTML style. The graph of text pages, perhaps with embedded images, version of the web.

Sometimes when looking for knowledge on Google and can only find blogspam, if the information isn't particularly volatile over time, e.g. information about effective exercises for various purposes, then I've got a trick that sometimes helps:

Use google's search tools to limit the results to a custom range of time, and only specify the end date as something like 2002. You end up getting just pre-web-2.0 stuff.
