Climate Science is actually an interesting intersection of these issues. "Safe space"-style rhetoric has been used to no platform people who deny global warming. The government does not fund research into any climate science that looks for an alternate explanation.

Unfortunately, the combination of these two things makes it nearly impossible to be a climate-scientist who disagrees with the herd. Even if you could overcome the massive cultural hurdle, you have society and the government to deal with as well.

Which makes me skeptical, but I still think that it's safest to heed the precautionary principle.
At that point, I'd half expect it to be named "NeOS".
Die size is 640mm2, die cost is ~$42(asumming TSMC's yields, chinese fabs have much lower yields) - so at volume manufacturing cost(including test and package) is surely less than $100 ,closer to $60-70.

And in large enough volume, assuming 50% gross margins, sure it could be cheaper.
Could you explain diffuse please? Relativistically, space-time deformation causes both galactic formation and lensing.
Collections of stars millions of light years apart(dense locally but not on an average), acting together on light passing near the conglomerate will lens.

So what do you mean by diffuse and could you point me to some source I can read up on this?
"Sure, he can be an asshole, but at least he is honest about what he thinks."

I hear this kind of thing a lot - the implication seems to be that the speaker believes that not acting like an asshole requires being dishonest about your own thoughts. Which seems to say a lot more about the speaker than they perhaps realize.

Very exciting! Per-platform docs (platform dropdown in the doc section), a built-in source browser, a rendered copy of README.md (if present), semver compatible URLs, documentation for previous versions, and probably other things I haven't found yet.

^ what he said
Are you equally sympathetic to stories of harassment of white people by black people? A white person, after all, is far more likely to be harmed by a black person than a black person is to be harmed by the police.

When you hear whites tell stories of harassment by black people, do you make sure not to minimize their experiences?
"Poor people want to look like rich people. Rich people want to not look like poor people" - fashion in a nutshell.
I like projects like this. I started reading Code a while back, and thought it would be fun to make a computer out of relays, light bulbs, tinker toys, or whatnot. Then I started reading The Elements of Computing Systems, and thought about building something in a FPGA. One of these days.
> Police will regret that relationship. Xenophobic signalling on Nextdoor has surely resulted in a rapid rise in bogus resident calls. I know in our neighborhood it has.

It depends on the police. In many places the police have long practiced bogus harassment and arrest of black people (and other minorities), and this wouldn't change it.

The real role of police, in those places, is effectively to suppress people whom the political class in power find to be 'undesirable', not only criminals but homeless, political protestors, minorities, etc. In those places, the 'bogus' reports on Nextdoor are business as usual.

By the way, the political class in power (e.g., middle-class whites in some places) don't always consciously think about 'suppression'. They feel uncomfortable around the homeless person and unconsciously rationalize a reason to have them removed (he could attack someone, it interferes with local businesses, it's better for him to be in a shelter, etc.).
Not everything can be automated, but there is certainly at least some machine learning in all of the larger surveys these days. As to dark matter surveys explicitly, I found this one: http://kids.strw.leidenuniv.nl/pr_july2015.php
What do you think it's holding us back from?
It had an RS232 port that could be connected to a serial terminal with a keyboard. This is an emulator, but you get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxcFNOpnIIs

Sure looks a lot like any other early personal computer. Having a "video display port" seems like an arbitrary distinction.

Also if you want to talk about ubiquity, the TRS-80 which released a bit later in 77 than the Apple II massively outsold it.
The bizarre true story behind the “this is a work of fiction” disclaimer
Oh stop. This is such an unlikely avenue of inquiry that it just distracts from the conversation.

If at some point we figure out that the laws of thermodynamics do not apply, that would be such a profound change in how we interact with the universe that speculation over how to best search the night sky for intelligent life would be the last thing on most people's minds for quite some time.

We would quickly find ways to harness quantities of energy that would fry us to a literal crisp today due to conversion losses, and that would be such a breakthrough that rather than look for signs of life in nearby systems, we could just go there and look around.
Yea pretty sure if you get the point where you have thousands or tens of thousands of viewers on Twitch, your game is already very successful.
Since 0xCC is an interrupt, it's only useful for padding that isn't executed. If you want to align loops, you need NOPs. Single-instruction, multi-byte NOPs are certainly preferred by modern compilers.
Disclaimer: I work at Google and was a founder of the Kubernetes project.

In a nutshell yes. We recognized pretty early on that fear of lockin was a major influencing factor in cloud buying decisions. We saw it mostly as holding us back in cloud: customers were reluctant to bet on GCE (our first product here at Google) in the early days because they were worried about betting on a proprietary system that wasn't easily portable. This was compounded by the fact that people were worried about our commitment to cloud (we are all in for the record, in case people are still wondering :) ). On the positive side we also saw lots of other people who were worried about how locked in they were getting to Amazon, and many at very least wanted to have two providers so they could play one off against the other for pricing.

Our hypothesis was pretty simple: create a 'logical computing' platform that works everywhere, and maybe, if customers liked what we had built they would try our version. And if they didn't, they could go somewhere else without significant effort. We figured at the end of the day we would be able to provide a high quality service without doing weird things in the community since our infrastructure is legitimately good, and we are good at operations. We also didn't have to agonize about extracting lots of money out of the orchestration system since we could just rely on monetization of the basic infrastructure. This has actually worked out pretty well. GKE (Google Container Engine) has grown far faster than GCE (actually faster than any product I have see) and the message around zero lock-in plays well with customers.

I'd say that's absolutely the case for a lot of the most popular streamers and Lets Players. Jacksepticeye is an easy example: the distinctive parts of his videos aren't the games, they're his exaggerated reactions to whatever's going on in them. You could replace the actual game video and sound with a black screen, leaving just his voice, and people would still tune in to giggle at his silly behavior.

This book has one of the best tables of contents I've read in quite awhile. I love how you can see the outlines of British imperialism starting to emerge as you get further into it -- at first it looks like it's organized in this very methodical way with the opening sections on "Fire" and "Water," but then you notice that there are whole sub-sections with instructions for "Secreting Jewels," "Poacher's Work" and "How to dispose of Guns at Night."

As an aside, my all time favorite table of contents from a travelogue is Sven Hedin's My Life as an Explorer which features gems like Chapter 24, "I Discover 2000-Year-Old Cities in the Desert," Chapter 61, "I Become a Shepherd," which is followed up by Chapter 62, "A Tibetan Captive Again."

Anyway, thanks for posting, this seems like an interesting read.
That's a good summary of the entirety of the headline (subtitle included), but honestly not a very good summary of the article. Not much is dedicated to the "what happens to the industry" question, and it's mostly devoted to how the current/fading aesthetic cluttered came to be. As someone who was not alive during the '70s when a lot of these places started, and never witnessed the very different function they then served (countercultural, sex-focused, etc.), I found all of that totally fascinating.
> when newcomers are not considered, there is a very strong correlation between predicted and real rankings

I'm having trouble parsing the meaning of this. It seems like their data can predict the popularity but only on existing repositories in which they can look at the first 6 months, calculate the popularity and see if it matches up. Am I understanding that correctly? Seems...weird. Can this be used in any way for new projects?

For instance my msngr.js[1] library initially had like 3 stars from friends then it was posted to HN and within 2 weeks had about 150 then it slowly climbed to what it is today over a year or so and lately it's kinda stalled. I'm not sure their data would predict anything correctly about my repository and I would imagine a large majority are more like mine where you might have a handful of users and some pop when being on the front page of something like HN but then traffic dies back down.

Twitch already actively complies with publishers on this, and does things like blocking games before the street release date.

If the publisher doesn't want their game on twitch it isn't there: but the reverse tends to happen (publishers pay people to stream their game, and for their game to be featured on the twitch sidebar).

This isn't as bad as it looks. Think of it like an additional experimental scalac that is more ready to integrate into mainline scala than Dotty is.

I'm fully on board with you...I think Scalaz as a library is a virus, and it's community is toxic, and it's desperate desire to turn Scala into Haskell ends up turning an awesome ML-inspired language into a vastly inferior religious (...ahem, pure) language.

But Cats and Shapeless aren't Scalaz. They have concepts that happen to exist in Haskell, but they aren't Haskell's concepts to own any more than C owns imperative programming. If anything, Mathematics owns the concepts and Haskell happened to borrow them to make a terrible purist concept slightly more practical. It turns out that when you need the concepts (and I have, on a couple of occasions), it makes Scala slightly more practical as well.
This reminds me of the story between a cable-box developer and crackers. I'll need to find the exact story, but it goes something like this:
The developer would send an over-the-air update, the crackers would crack it within days and provide that to their userbase. Usually the crackers would just nop out the few instructions that branched into DRM code or something.

At some point, the crackers noticed that the OTAs seemed to include "dead" code, that wasn't being called by anything. Just in case it was used by the live code, they left it in. It didn't prevent their cracks.

Then, a little bit down the line, an OTA update made use of all those pieces of dead code to simultaneously harden legitimate boxes against cracking, and brick hacked boxes. The developer had, in effect, distributed his countermeasures piecemeal in order to pass the crackers guards and be included in the cracked network, and in one delayed action assembled and activated the countermeasure.

Edit: Ah, here was the story from 2001 about the "Black Sunday Kill", and it was DirectTV:

Collector's Weekly puts out surprisingly good long form writing.

Since quite a while, Nintendo either takes down videos or claims ad revenue for the videos via the Youtube DMCA.

Last year Nintendo made a program[1] where Youtubers could sign up to be Nintendo partners, and in return they could keep somewhere around ~70% of the video ad revenue, but they also had some weird clauses.

Most people who do Nintendo game content do so while knowing that they are not going to be able to make ad revenue off of it. That is very well and fine for people who do it as a hobby, but some others do Youtube content for a living, and it's nonviable for them.

I don't have a particularly strong opinion on the subject, just wanted to let you know that it _is_ a thing.

The premise of this question is false. I object to the harassment of anyone, regardless of the color of their skin. Who would object to preventing the harassment of people with black skin, and why?

There's a massive and historic problem of black-skinned people being harassed (and much worse) by police and civilians. The evidence is overwhelming. Therefore, we need to put great effort into solving it.

The idea that there is a competition between races is not only absurd but well-established to be highly damaging; the results are very bad for everyone. Stopping the harassment of black-skinned people helps everyone. If there's a competition, it's the hateful vs. the great majority who are civilized, regardless of skin color (or religion or sexual preference or country of origin or anything else). I'm on the side of the civilized. If we built a wall to keep out the hateful, think how many problems would simply disappear.

Take another look at this data from same source regarding Federal instead of State:

Half of males (50%) and more than half of females (59%) in federal prison were serving time for drug offenses on September 30, 2014.[1]

[1] http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/p14.pdf

How many started that way or their crime involved weapons/money that were involved in a drug operation? How many repeat or lifetime criminals were first created with a non-violent drug crime?

If it is non-violent it should not be something that locks you up ever as that is cruel and unusual punishment, outside the law that is abduction and locking them up in a box.

Jailing non-violent offenses costs the taxpayer and the individual more to no benefit. There should be payment penalties and temporary records for those that do repeat offenses, real rehabilitation, mental help, also job programs for them if desired. All of that would probably be cheaper than creating lifetime criminals.

Not just for non-violent drug offenses, when I hear about people stealing cars for instance and getting locked up it makes no sense. Insurance exists, and we want the criminal out working to pay that back not debt taxpayers 30k+ per year, it is a loss all around and compounding.
After reading this first blurb:

> The year 2016 is on pace to be the hottest on record, with each of the first six months setting new temperature records... Climate change, combined with the effects of El Niño, is the main reason behind the record-setting temperatures.

The worst thing you could do is put a first-time offender in a prison. Congratulations, you've taken a possibly reformable person, and thrown them into an environment where they need to affiliate with one of the gangs to avoid being shanked or extorted. In the meantime, they go through a networking and educational program to give them the skills and connections to be a criminal. Then, when they do get released and go back out into the world, they are effectively blocked from most avenues of legitimate work, left with severely restricted rights, and are put on restrictive probationary regimes that seem designed to put them back behind bars.

Some days, I wonder if we wouldn't be better off just giving people ten lashes or some other minor, non-permanent corporeal punishment for minor offenses.
Seriously? A 1 bit "full adder" is too complicated to build with discrete gates? If you are going to show people how to build a discrete 4 bit ALU then you really need to own it and at least build it with simple gates, if not transistors if you want to seriously own the discrete bit. As you can see in this reference (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Microprocessor_Design/Add_and_...) a single bit full adder is 2 xor, 2 and, and an or gate. For for a four bit addr, that is 8 XOR (2 chips), 8 AND (2 chips), and 4 OR (1 chip), so 5 chips instead of one MSI 4 bit adder.

I don't care whether it's reviewed by a human or not, the fact remains that CloudFlare does not act on abuse reports because they claim "reverse proxy = not responsible" in every abuse report I've sent them even on matters that do not pertain to their reverse proxy functionality at all.

They just don't want to be responsible, and unlike any other large network service provider that I sent abuse reports to, they just try and deflect and keep servicing spamming and phishing operations instead of booting them from their systems.
Yes, major compilers use the multi byte nop. GCC, clang, MS compilers, etc
