Renunciation of citizenship is not an effective way to opt out of the state for a few reasons,[1] such as:

1) There is nowhere on Earth that someone can go to escape the reach of government.

2) There is no reason why the anarchist should bear the burden of leaving. If someone comes along and starts extorting you, but says you can leave their area of extortion, you are not obligated to either pay them or leave.

In case you rely on social contract theory (or implied/tacit social contract theory), here is a brief explanation of why it is wrong.[2]

Thats my feeling as well. Everything that can be controversial and doesn't appeal to the mantas of MSM liberal media is labeled as an -ism.

> What competitor of theirs has raised prices over time?

Sorry if that wasn't clear. I meant the initial prices for their competitors are less, not that the competitors raise their prices.

AWS may be more to start with but it's a known entity that can be factored into considering the feasibility of an idea. If X is feasible given current prices, it'll continue to be feasible and possibly more so when prices drop further.
What would a rough sketch of async/await syntax sugar look like implemented with Rust macros?
You can request pre-warming for additional ELB capacity, when you know far enough in advance that you will have a spike. AWS customer service responds by asking 10 clarifying questions via email. The thing is, we can't look under the hood to see currently provisioned and utilized ELB capacity, so we just have to trust that AWS engineers will properly allocate resources according to the answers to those questions. IMO, it's a rather cumbersome process that would be better implemented as a form.

All these are cool features, but it would be great if there were a higher level expert system too.

For example, have expert templates for Subaru cars, that integrates dash.by and jiffy lube, my insurance, waze, the manufacture etc. then just apply common things I'd want in a single click.

* Such as schedule an oil change on my calendar on the weekend when I'd normally get my oil changed.

* Does my manufacture have any serious issues I should know about?

* Check how many miles I'm driving, and see if my insurance policy could be updated to reduce my rate.

* Suggest a gas station that's on my routes that are more cost effective than the one I'm using.

* Remember where I parked my car in case I forget.

* If I park in a 2hr zone, use pay by phone to pay the parking automatically for me.

* If I'm going to the Symphony, schedule a Lux to meet me out front.

I also found it awesome! I too don't have a need for it yet, but I'll sure take a look at it later when the need arrives!
You missed the end of the sentence: "....pretty horrible DP/HP compute performance compared to Tesla parts."

Might not be applicable in your case, but NVIDIA hasn't released a desktop part with FP64 capabilities even remotely comparable to their Tesla's since the original Titan.

Both Titan X's (Maxwell and Pascal) and the [Insert Physicist's Name Here] Quadros are pretty gimped as far as it comes to HP/DP operations.

If anything between generations DP performance across desktop parts have been severely degraded from 3:1 for Kepler to 16:1 for Maxwell to bloody 32:1 for Pascal desktop GPU's.

As for the passthrough it is possible but it requires a few hacks and is technically in violations of NVIDIA's policies, and unlike the Tesla parts there is no full virtualization once the a device has been initialized it can only be assigned to 1 host/guest and a full host reboot is required to reinitialize the device again.
You also need to do a few UEFI hacks to prevent the UEFI from initializing the GPU before your host OS loads and it can be passed through to the guest.

This isn't something that cloud providers would dealing with, NVIDIA will not sell them anything but Tesla/Grid parts and buying from AIB's/OEM's and hacking your way through it isn't an option, you'll get zero support from NVIDIA, you could not thin provision your GPU's and you'll need to do a full host reboot every time you want to reassign the GPU or try to figure out if you can write a custom BIOS for your card that would somehow allow you to reinitialize it.

P.S.
I've actually built a KVM multi-user gaming rig with NVIDIA cards, I would not recommend anyone to try that, AMD cards are more pleasant to work with, too bad the performance are utter garbage for high end gaming.
I don't believe classic ELB supports websockets[1] making this a tenuous comparison. There might be workarounds that I'm not aware of (our production network isn't currently on AWS so I'm a couple of years behind in my day-to-day experience with them).

That said, I don't dispute that there might be use cases where classic ELB is a better option. And I'm glad it's still available (as opposed to ALB replacing classic).

I think the courts and bureaucracy being unresponsive to popular opinion, social norms (social stare decisis if you will), and the regular rules of American democracy (i.e., actually amending the Constitution when appropriate) has resulted in the rising popularity of figures like Donald Trump.

It's hard to argue that the system isn't rigged when the rules of the system aren't as important as the outcome that relatively powerful decision-makers want to see.
Is GPU better than CPU for encoding? I thought performance ended up similar. Also, are you saying that K1 AWS can reencode 6 streams at once?

Ask HN: How do I sell user data?
We're hearing a lot about evil companies collecting and selling user data. But I've never seen it mentioned, how exactly does this happen?

Let's imagine I'm a evil CEO of a new startup. I pivoted from stealing candies from little children, because data seems to be hot these days. Let's also say that I have a successful mobile app doing whatever, and hundreds of thousands of clueless users who let it siphon their location data and browsing habits reguarly. How do I get from that point to earning $$$? Do I put the data for sale somewhere? Do I call an ad company to arrange a meeting in a dark alley to get a quote on my dataset?

--

To be clear, if it isn't blindingly obvious - I'm not in support of such business. But I'm trying to understand how deals like this work, how the ecosystem looks like. That free services "sell your data" is a popular trope, but who exactly do they sell to? How much money they make? How is this not illegal? Who to boycott?
I still think the title is misleading. Compare:

“A TCP weakness in Linux systems allows ...”
vs
“A TCP weakness allows ... on Linux systems”

Technically, it's not just Linux that's affected - it's the TCP protocol itself. The “on Linux systems” part is sort of redundant, and only serves to point out that other operating systems are unaffected as they don't implement that part of the RFC.

> This is the crux of what most white Americans don't get about race in America.

The dictionary definition of racism would be the one most people agree with. Which then means that black people making anti-white statements are being racist.

The alternative is an Orwellian dystopia in which the meaning of words depends on who says them.

> ... they're being written to offer some relief and solidarity for others whose lives are materially affected by white bullshit.

Which is itself a racist comment according to the dictionary definition. Engaging in racism in order to stop racism means that you're no better than the racists you oppose.

I'm firmly of the belief that the ends don't justify the means. The means help determine the end.

To that end, we all should oppose racism. All racism. And not just oppose racism by people we don't like, and support racism by people we like.
People who make good forecasts are not polarized enough for punditry.

Lowest labor participation since the '80s, and minimal recovery? Hell, I didn't know things were that bad.

The 9% figure is all-source underemployment, though. It's a way better number than unemployment rate, but it's misleading to cite it as though it's the same number politicians reference.

There is a big difference here. In physics, the "outsiders" are easily dismissed. It's just that the outsiders themselves usually don't accept that they're just flat out wrong and convince themselves that it's the establishment working against them.
Small suggestion: "complexity" is not generally seen as a positive feature of a product. You might try "flexibility" or something like that.

Time Warner didn't pass the law. A legislature passed it and a governor signed it. Looking at the part you quoted, other states have passed similar wording (which doesn't have words targeting a specific industry) and considered it good governance to keep the state from competing with their citizens. Unless you believe Time Warner bribed half the legislature and the governor, its very relevant to know why the politicians found the wording acceptable.
I'd argue the fundamental problem is that 'civil forfeiture' is 'guilty until proven innocent', an inversion of the way the rule of law is meant to work.

Requiring charges is a very small step in the right direction. I suspect what will happen is that people with money will now be charged for small, ridiculous offences, misdemeanours, as a way for law enforcement to skirt the law.

A real improvement is to seize, hold, require conviction, and then enforce forfeiture. If a conviction cannot be made, the forfeiture should be invalidated.

This "too big too risk" is precisely why we need this, and needed it twenty years ago. And we need it now, so that we aren't in a worse spot next year, etc.

To lessen the pain maybe for the first few years only "mostly harmless" hacks with full disclosure could be made fully legal. We could ramp up slowly.
My assumption would be that Audi told them this. The dealer is normally more than happy to perform repairs under warranty, as this is easy, guaranteed money for them. It's basically the same reason they love getting exclusive deals with insurance companies.

There can be a lot of psychological, emotional, and health benefits to continuing to work in some capacity throughout old age. It gives people a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. I'm a long way from retirement but I hope to have the kind of career where I work in at least a lightweight way well into old age (my grandfather didn't stop working completely until he was 93).

One thing that would probably help would be much shorter work weeks.

I think a big issue is that Microsoft is allowed to "sponsor" schools and so create a microsoft only ecosystem for schools, going so far that teachers require specific formats and software that are not (properly) accessible without MS Office.

IMO there should be laws that prevent students from having to learn a system that costs a lot of money and is way inferior in many points.

What sort of syntax support do you have in mind? (Personally I think any language-level support is unlikely, given that Rust doesn't make a point of privileging any particular approach to concurrency.)
Does the need for this arise, in some sense, because Rust doesn't offer classical inheritance and so no mechanism to indicate co/contra variance?

My attitude isn't condescending, and there is nothing wrong with being a handyman either.

The truth of the matter is that unless you have a very good fundamental knowledge of computer science and primarily math there are things that you cannot tackle as "programmer" unless you are a unique case.
A self though programmer is also unlikely to be working on optimizing databases or search engines, compression, driver/os architecture, various algorithms such as video and audio compression and many other things.

I don't claim to be able to do those things and I don't mind thinking of myself as a 21st century mechanic or handyman because in the end I know that my capabilities based on my knowledge and experience are limited.
> Automation will not put everyone out of work and it will not spell the end of capitalism.

The problem isn't going to be putting everyone out of work, it's going to be putting a quarter of the country out of work or loosely attached to the labor market.

The social costs for this are going to be absolute huge. Our norms are not ready for that many people to not work, and you only need a handful of people with little to lose to have massive social disorder.

I wonder if they use HTTP or Bittorrent to serve out of S3; S3 can serve Bittorrent, and the protocol solves a lot of their 'fill hierarchy' optimization on its own reasonably well.

There is no world where this practice could pass constitutional review. What they are doing is called out as unconstitutional in no less than three (!!!) different amendments.

By "useless" I meant, "at present, has nothing to contribute that advances the field" (which I think is indisputably true) rather than "useless to society". Admittedly a different word would probably have made this clearer and less emotionally polarizing.
What's with the "and not know it" part of the headline? Is that just clickbait, or do people really not know that they are broke?
Do you see a specific claim backed up with empirical research in the above usage of human nature? I don't. Do people ever? Any time someone brings up human nature they could omit the term and just talk about the research itself. They don't. Human nature is a rhetorical shortcut. You can't assail human nature, you can't examine it like scientific evidence. It is intellectual laziness to make any argument from human nature.

In the modern United States, states are a particularly poor level of organization to have a unitary government--it's small enough that regulatory capture is too easy but too large to be responsive to people's concerns. If we want to let lower levels of government to handle more responsibility, then we should go beyond states' rights and make states federal and municipal governments unitary.
No, it's more related to the fact that Rust allows you to use traits in both a statically- and dynamically-dispatched way. You can read some more on the topic here: http://aturon.github.io/blog/2015/09/28/impl-trait/
The performance of the GPU is orders of magnitude better you can do multiple 1080p streams in real time with high bandwidth easily.

The quality on the other hand even for the same bit rate is considerably worse than highly optimized CPU compilers as the GPU does do a lot of hacks along the way.
