In a rare event, I actually like what I see here. They've clearly studied prior designs in high-security space, likely HSM and smartcard mitigations. The mesh enclosure strategy was adopted by older HSM's. There were potential bypasses that led to even more features, esp membranes and radiation sensors. The best ever made, per Ross Anderson's team of talented IC breakers, was IBM's 4758 whose protections and potential attacks are described here:

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/Papers/SEv2-c16.pdf

Best route is just to clone that thing somehow. IBM themselves already depreciated it in favor of a new product. Might still try to patent sue you or pull some other crap but worst case should be Chinese clones becoming available after new design is published. :) Designers of ORWL should try to copy more of the IBM thing's techniques to close gap between the two.

Far as design itself, I like that it's relatively simple, leverages a secure IC, easy to disassemble, will allow low-level modifications like firmware, and can run standard software. The next step will be a model that replaces the Intel chip with OpenSPARC, OpenPOWER, or RISC-V multicore with added components for trusted boot or I/O protections. Some are available with some coming online. Next step is using crypto to protect confidentiality & integrity of anything leaving SOC boundary so RAM is untrusted. There will be a lot of money involved for initial development and prototyping of even the first, open chip. So, I understand if they're taking it one step at a time. That's cool as long as they keep the advertising honest about risks they're keeping in for compatibility, etc.

The managed Kubernetes across multiple clouds sounds very nice! Or am I reading too much into this? I would love to give GKE some access token to my AWS and have them manage the whole shebang.

You're not alone - trust me. Most people don't believe me.

But, then, I grew up in a place where many if not most household incomes are less than $15k / year.

It's all relative though - I have enough saved up to probably live as a rich man in probably 99% of the earth. Yet, I keep pushing myself to get into the upper class of a minuscule area of the world. It's kind of screwed up.
Well, maybe we don't need that much talent on earth.

Real life 101: all people deserve respect even if not given by life the opportunity to express their talent when not that many talents are needed to make the world goes round.
Hard work is requisite, not satisfactory. You can dig ditches in your own yard for 14 hours a day and you aren't going to be successful. Similarly, you can start a business with your $1 million inherited wealth, but it has an extremely high probability of failing without hard work.

>Tell that to the kid making iPhones in the Foxconn facility.

I'm not even sure what your point is. GP was pointing out that competition at every level is fierce. Not sure what that has to do with the Foxconn employee. Are they known for not being competitive?

Interesting use of pronouns here... "adding her to the team" but "removing him from the team". Why not be consistent?

"Drives help streamline teamwork from end-to-end, from onboarding a new team member (add her to the team and she instantly has access to all of the work in one place) to offboarding a departing team member (remove him from the team and all of his work stays right in place), and everything in-between."

You literally wreck the most expensive part of the car a little every time you drive it for more than a few miles - the battery pack!
If you only trickle charge it to 80%, dont get it below 30%-20%, the pixies in the pack will stay happy and stick around.
Drive hard and long, charge fast and the thing deteriorates. The worse it gets the quicker it deteriorates. So a used car you bought for 7k might be worth 0 in 2 or 4 years...
>wouldn't you want your kids to have it easier and give them any advantage you possibly can?

You're missing the point. It isn't that the wealthy are being incriminating for "wanting their kids to have it easier".

They're pointing out that the success for kids born into wealth is typically attributable to family money.
A well designed fiat currency system would not rely on the moral code of humans, but rather on having created an incentive structure such that the actors in power are pushed towards doing the correct thing. We have not fully accomplished this, but it is a state that we can strive towards. It is important to note that fiat currency is not based on the idea that we can reliably find and promote saints to run it (at least in theory).
Canadian launch was also very unstable and it was well after US.
Before anyone chimes in, yes 5 million in 300 million is the same as 50.000 in 3 million.

Why? Because they are an asshole about it? That doesn't reduce their success in any way. If they have offset the losses of their previous endeavors, they have provided a net gain and it's still a success.

-----------

While not fast by PC standards, this chip will still run circles around Snapdragon 600E. I'd think that AM1-based computers are the ideal cheap NAS setup.

I'd spend a bit more money though to get older, better supported hardware (AM3+ / FX-6300). I'm sinking ~$400 into hard drives anyway so what's another $50 for more performance and better hardware support? (AM3+ is supported by FreeBSD and therefore FreeNAS / Nas4Free).

But if you're going for a Linux build which generally has good support for these things, AMD's AM1 is a strong contender.

---------

Intel's Atom is a contender as well, so it deserves a mention: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157...

But I've found that AM1 mobos + AM1 CPU is actually cheaper than the Intel Atom all-in-one boards.
iPhone 7 Launch by Scrapple – Goodbye Apple
Since you created the graph, could you provide more context as to the units of measurement and scale for the axes? Are you using the derivative of growth as biot mentioned below, or something else? This graph shows two lines that stay static over time (meaning that either Niantic started off on day one with their entire server infrastructure already running with no plans to scale up, or they did not plan to scale up as demand grew), and one upwards trending line that shows actual changes in traffic over time. I'm trying to discern what this graph is supposed to represent, and if it's supposed to represent the expected traffic over time versus actual, it's showing that there was no expected growth in traffic.
I remember the server application being written in Java. At least, it was served using Jetty.

good points. something else to consider - money derives its value from 2 sources: 1) the actual goods and services (GDP) that it represents and 2) the fact that government demands taxes be paid in it. BTC fills neither of these because no government does business with it and no one knows what it represents because it's not linked to a specific country or region of people. that alone should disqualify it from being considered "real money". until that changes, that should be everyone's view of it.

one other thing - with regards to fiat, BTC does have one theoretical advantage - the ability to limit government spending because it cannot be created out of thin air to be created as credit and spent as debt. and that is why no government will ever use it. but we wouldn't want this anyway because we actually DO want government to be able to create money as needed. the reason is that because the stated goal of the fed is "stable prices and full employment" stable prices are simple - your monetary supply expands AND CONTRACTS with GDP, pure and simple. 100 bushels of wheat in your economy and $200 in money? that's $2 per bushel. if your economy doubles due to additional population or technological/productivity improvements and starts producing 150 bushels, you need to have $300 in your economy for stable prices. the issue is that our government increases its spending at a rate that far exceeds the growth of GDP.

Nothing about string theory is provable. If you throw a stone in a physics class you'll hit a new theory working with higher dimensions. A really simplified explanation might be "there's a qualitative attribute that means something special about how forces work with it".
FWIW, these solutions rarely bypass MySQL entirely or at all. Although there are ways to access InnoDB without making SQL queries (Memcached API; Handler Socket), the MySQL server is still involved. It just skips the normal protocol, auth, SQL parsing, etc.

Even then, there aren't a lot of published cases of people using these alternative access methods at scale yet. AFAIK, all of the large kv use-cases you've mentioned still go through traditional SQL queries. Despite the overhead of SQL parsing, it provides more control and visibility. The ecosystem around alternative access methods isn't nearly as mature.
There were no Pokéstops, arenas or spawns in Asia after beta and before launch so even if you had the APK it was of no use.
Depending on the result, bringing race into it might lead to people feeling insulated from it, and therefore not care as much ("it only happens to black people. But, I'm not black").
Just because you have some insurance your state isn't a socialist state. Socialism would actually mean poverty for everyone.

I think even in the US people pay taxes and the government buys things from that which are supposed to help everybody (like, say, roads). Ooops - I guess you already live in a socialist state.

Why is it OK to build roads with tax money, but not to provide social insurance?

In the end, society pays either way for people who have fallen on hard times: either they pay for welfare, or they pay indirectly by having to deal with the inconvenience they cause (like, as I have heard, human turds on SF streets).
Long history doesn't make it right
I think this program is great and similarly reminds me of Google Summer of Code. The biggest deficiency I see with new engineers is lack of real experience. GSOC, this Amazon program, these give students the chance to build a real thing that does something. Too many students come out of school with their theoretical assignments completed, and basic hello world programs.

I hope Amazon receives great submissions from this!

Don't worry that much. I've seen two YC-funded companies that are similar to my own side project, and both failed to gain traction. As the others said, I'd worry a lot if there was NO competition (and it will be funded, count on it).

Bitcoin being a globally distributed ledger has the ability to represent shares of commodities and equities. It's why Delaware is considering incorporating blockchain tech.

>you can start a business with your $1 million inherited wealth, but it has an extremely high probability of failing without hard work.

That's why you don't start a business dummy, you work with a money manager and have him invest it and after 30 years of average market returns you get to brag about how 'successful' and 'hardworking' you are.

Sparse coding: a simple exploration

The concept of spending a life being employed is rather new. In the future the majority of people will be business owners... like in the old days.

And what I'm saying is that these businesses will likely be software-based, and that those being software-illiterate will have a life as comfortable as the one lived by illiterate people before them. Software is becoming the new paper, this is what I am saying.

Today, we on HN are like the Lords and the clergy who were the only ones able to read and write and hereby be involved in the important business of their times.

Emend – Shared micro editing for the web
This reminds me of Uber and Ryanair. They scrape out of sight properties and claim lower prices when it's just playing on words. Later when people realize they quite wanted the full thing, the magic disappear. A decade of memory loss disguised as innovation. Not even a new error.
You may be confusing InnoDB with MyISAM (which is prone to corruption, especially upon crashes) or with running MySQL without a strict SQL mode (which causes bad things like silent truncation of overflowing values).

InnoDB is, and always has been, a very reliable and durable storage engine with solid performance characteristics.
There's also a limited amount of memory-level parallelism available... with 4-DIMM sockets you might need an 8-socket machine to get a 32x improvement on large (memory-bound) sequential scans, which I'd guess you can get on top-end Power machines.

(You can probably get more memory level parallelism with random access, but your overall bandwidth will likely be lower... fully exploiting memory bandwidth is complicated and difficult to do for real applications).
Sorry, I should have been stricter with my phrasing.

There is no place on earth where you can consider yourself middle class only having $24m in net worth. What you are referring to is likely a small community filled with people with net worths above $100m, but that doesn't change the class level because of what I pointed out. If you can quit your job and make 6 figures off of interest, you are not middle class anymore wherever you live.

Just because you can't afford a penthouse apartment in downtown Manhattan doesn't mean you are middle class.
Incredible! Apple steal a feature from Samsung! ^_^
Shakes are very good for exactly that. When I was recovering from anorexia, I got a large milkshake every night. Milkshakes are really, really easy ways to get enormous amounts of calories into yourself.
> Instead of using a DCT to generate a new bit representation like many compression schemes in use today, we train two sets of neural networks - one to create the codes from the image (encoder) and another to create the image from the codes (decoder).

So instead of implementing a DCT on my client I need to implement a neural network? Or are these encoder/decoder steps merely used for the iterative "encoding" process? It seems like the representation of a "GRU" file is different from any other.
"All cheeses worth savouring are cultured."

I'm rather fond of a wide variety of fresh cheeses. Paneer, and other sorts of "farmers cheese" and cottage cheese are all made with just acid curdling and aren't cultured. Most mozzarella, and many other soft cheeses, can and are made without cultures.

I'm not an expert on the subject, by any means, but there's a huge variety of things we call "cheese" and they're made in a pretty wide variety of ways. More importantly might be what kinds of cheeses people were aware of and making back when this note-taker was thinking these thoughts and asking these questions about cheese. Were cultured cheeses common in his region and time? I dunno and the article doesn't reveal it. There have been times and places where "cheese" meant a fresh cheese like paneer or cottage cheese, but probably other times and places when bacterial cultures were involved in all or most cheese production. I suspect the further back we go, the more likely we are to find fresh cheeses being more common than the cultured cheeses since they were simpler to make, but I dunno. The ability to store a hard cheese without refrigeration would have been pretty valuable to pre-industrial society.
There's probably something to be said here about Uber limiting this to Manhattan - by far and away the most subway-covered area of the city - and not somewhere like East New York that's crying out for transit.

Of course, they do so to make money, and I don't begrudge them that. But it goes some way to highlight the fact that Uber is mostly certainly not a tide that raises all ships.

(as an entirely different aside, the roads in Manhattan are already terrible, and the subway is already quicker for a lot of journeys. Once you add in the fact that the Pool takes you far out of your way... eh.)
>They're pointing out that the success for kids born into wealth is typically attributable to family money.

That's pretty obvious to me, it wasn't obvious to you?

I don't think any of the newly rich, such as say - Zuck were hiding these facts. Zuck went to Harvard, an elite school, and got 100k from the bank of mom and dad to work on his own thing.

The issue is that this data doesn't filter to the masses. Since it doesn't filter to the masses we now have a cult of "entrepreneur porn" where anybody can grab themselves by the bootsraps and become the new Zuck. I think with a little reflection most people know that this is false, however they've deluded themselves otherwise.
Ask HN: No mechanical escape key in new Macbook Pros?
I came across this photo (potential casing for new MBP): http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/05/macbook_pro_2016_case_top.jpg

Notice the missing top row of function keys. People have speculated that this top row may be replaced by an OLED touch screen.

Comparing the above photo to the Macbook keyboard, it would seem that the top row includes the escape key: http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/11/retinamacbookkeyboard-800x484.jpg

If this is the case, any software developer that uses the escape key a lot may not be very happy.
Specifically, the OpenSPARC T2:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/opensparc/openspar...

The ASIC implementation was nice:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraSPARC_T2

On a 65nm node... very outdated one... it might get 8 threads in 8 cores at 1.6GHz each with hardware RNG, crypto accelerators, and hypervisor support. That's the kind of implementation that would be useless for an open-source, secure workstation, server, or HPC node. ;) Especially if one slightly increased single-core performance or cache when porting it to 45nm.

Forget that, though. Let's see what IBM will charge for their admittedly-faster pile of complicated silicon that only certain people can see which they've already turned into non-backdoored chips for you. ;)
On Headspace, I did the 30 day foundation program followed by the 30 day anxiety pack.

Your analogy between Citibank and Coinbase is telling.

Citibank is, well, a bank. Coinbase is a currency exchange, and more analogous to those Forex booths you see in airports.

There are Bitcoin banks, but putting your Bitcoin into a bank loses the decentralization benefits. Admittedly holding onto your own BTC requires more security than many people are capable of implementing, but better and better solutions are being created to solve this problem.
In order for the Management Engine to really do much, you need to have a network card that the management engine knows how to talk to. If you don't have such a network interface, the ME can't do all that much, and any adverse security risks are near zero. Add to that things like the firmware write line being controlled by a completely separate microcontroller, and the big things that are discussed are completely infeasible. I'd be much more worried about the lack of microcode updates that libreboot users shun in the name of "freedom".
You're not alone - trust me. Most people don't believe me.

In order for it to be a legitimate alternative, as opposed to only being of interest to ideologues and academics, shouldn't it actually be competitive with existing technologies in areas like fees, user experience, or speed? If it was better at some and worse at others, it would provide a legitimate alternative with a different set of trade-offs, but for it to lose in every category doesn't really make it seem like it can be an alternative to the centralized banking system in a real and useful way.
