The FSP is a package (the P in FSP). It includes in it the ME blob. The other parts of it are things like DRAM init. It would take work to develop a fully libre implementation for any Intel chipset, but the biggest hurdle was (and is) the ME blob in the FSP.

The EC, SMC, and other blobs are much more the domain of the board designer, and are much easier to make a libre implementation for.
"No catered food. No free soda. No free snacks. If you are hungry, you can eat at one of the shltty cafes."

This seems totally out of place to me. You have to pay for your own food, who cares? That's the way it is for pretty much everybody.
This debate will never end. Money. It's money. Start talking to the guy who pays the pipers, not the pipers. Although, unfortunately they won't read your blog because it isn't on Facebook.
For whatever it's worth, the amount of this in different workplaces seems to vary from "virtually none" to "run away screaming".

At the best places, I assume this happens a bit, but it's pretty easy to ignore it completely and still do well by being a good employee.

At the worst places, it's apparent even to someone unaware that something is up, because people will make comments that are totally nonsensical unless you're neck-deep in the politicking. It also shows when smart people make obviously awful decisions - they're probably getting something out of it other than the good of the company.
Also true. But still, coming from that point of view, the illusion is easier to see through in FO1/2. E.g. the idea of walking through the wasteland vs just seeing a dot move over a map with some random encounters. Back then there weren't many games were you could really explore the world, so this illusion was quite good at giving you the feel of having a huge map with real events happening. It won't do that to a person who played Skyrim and GTAV.
I agree. I consider myself a fairly technical guy. Given the breathless praise for it anytime it's mentioned, I've tried to get into LaTeX off and on throughout the years, but it's just a massive learning cliff. I still haven't figured out how to change formatting or fonts, so every document I write in it has that standard "PhD dissertation" look. I can pick up a new programming language in a weekend, but I still don't "get" TeX.
Reading only the article headline, reading short comments and responding to them is good practice for bullshitting through meetings.

It's a pretty good approximation for boring meetings as you've got a small amount of overall context (article headline::meeting) and small amount of specific context (comment::sentence before your name).
In addition to what unimpressive said:

Avoid cards where it takes a long time to state the back side of the card. Even if you know the answers, you'll get bogged down and it'll take too long to review. Answers should be short and easy.

Better to create 5 cards where you replace 5 parts of a formula with blanks and say "fill in the blanks", than one card that requires remembering 5 things.
That's not a tilt-shift. That's a lensbaby. Tilt is an under-slide movement, not an over-slide (there is a VERY distinct difference), and the shift ... non-existent in that design. If anything it's simply selective focus lens. Fun .. but more an artistic creation than a functional unit. Funzies can't be penalized though.
The more websites on HTTPS the merrier. It's interesting that they mention being able to use new HTML/JS features that are now only available over HTTPS. That's one way to push more people for HTTPS even if they don't care about the privacy/security reasons.

I'm curious how many of these are also on the list of 'tips for success as an aspiring mathematician'. I just finished reading Benoit Mandlebrot's memoir and he repeatedly talks about how poor academic standing is in predicting a person's ability as a researcher. As someone who is not a mathematician I'm genuinely curious.
That ground is mostly unexplored. IMHO, the sane middle ground between Electron and the 70s isn't shoving an entire browser inside a desktop app. It's using modern programming and compiler techniques to get close to the metal without having to deal with all of the shortcomings of C/C++. It's also using UI libraries that make creating desktop UIs as easy as making a website, but with better performance.

Sadly, neither of the things I mentioned above exist yet. People are working on languages that fit that space, but most of them aren't done yet. Nim is the only one that's officially released.

As for desktop UI libraries, your choice these days seem to be between bad and worse. I'm working on my own desktop UI library, but I don't know what the hell I'm doing. It'll be a learning experience, if nothing else.
Can I just take a moment, and I apologise up front for singling you out for this one, to say how much I hate comments like this, even more that they get upvoted.

There's always some arbitrary software mentioned that is often barely related even tangentially and expect someone else to reply with the info.

If you want to know how it differs, YOU look it up and if the outcome of that research is interesting enough YOU post it. Don't expect other people to do it for you, or worse, make it so that the creator of something that might not even be the one linking it feels like they have to justify why they open sourced something.

Exactly. In modeling the threat that the ME poses to a libre system, the ideal would be to have it "gone," such that it will never activate regardless of what is in the BIOS flash.

That's not possible, but the next best thing is to have it never activate unless major changes are made to the BIOS flash, and those changes should be very visible.

Your computer suddenly reboots: very visible.

The flash partition table and/or BIOS suddenly change: very visible.

That your biggest objection to the Nazis is their supposed socialism is a pretty big red flag.

Your "alt right" position on Jews is precisely that of anti-Semites and Nazis. They too called for the "exclusion if not elimination" of my people.

You should be banned from HN. I will say that in no uncertain terms. You are a hateful person calling for the mass deportation of citizens and threatening "much worse selections on the menu" if that isn't fast enough for you.

Nobody is suggesting that you should be forced out of the country and/or into gas chambers. Get a reality check. Your racist ideology is totally non-sensical: if I didn't tell you, you would have no idea that I wasn't yet another of your favored Aryan whites, yet you still want to deport and/or murder me.

The one thing I'll commend you for is that you post these comments under your real name. That way I can be sure I never work with you.

Quite frankly, the entire executive should be fired for cause, and sued by everyone.
So what's involved in compromising a site using HTTPS? Off the top of my head, you would have to have control over a trusted CA, and the ability to MITM a connection to the site. Probably not plausible for bedroom hackers, but seems trivial for state actors.

Do browsers offer any kind of certificate pinning for arbitrary sites? It seems strange that this is a default feature in ssh but not https.

Most teams at Expedia use Grafana now. Cyclotron was built back before Grafana existed.

Shiny things and organizational volunteer work seem to become incresingly important as companies grow in size, the volume of internal projects increases, and thus it becomes a lot harder to gain consistent internal visibility. So working on a "shiny" project becomes your best (if not only) shot at getting noticed. The truly Machiavellian will recognize this environment for what it is, and just pitch shiny new projects if none are immediately available -- the necessity of those projects usually being a secondary consideration.

The problem often grows worse, not better, when you introduce concepts like top-down goal alignments and stack ranking. These can easily backfire by forcing savvy employees to scramble for maximum-impact projects and deprioritize all others. You end up with a handful of hero projects and a whole bunch of misfit toys that nobody wants to touch.

I'm not sure any company has ever truly solved this problem at scale. Obviously some company cultures are better at it than others. (I've never worked at Amazon, so I can't speak honestly or credibly to its culture.)

I don't think this is fair criticism. Grafana is an exact competitor to this, and as the market leader, it's only natural to be the benchmark.
Re: memorization: Don't tell people not to memorize.

What you meant to say is memorization is necessary but not sufficient. If you really didn't memorize, you couldn't answer "What is a derivative?" It would be as unrecognizable as "What is a Jabberwocky?"

The mind is great at synthesizing material and discovering patterns, but you have to feed it the material first.

Cypher doesn't have named queries (and thus not recursive ditto either), AFAIK. I asked some Neo4j guys on a meetup some time ago, and they didn't even seem to really understand the question at first.

It's a pity. I'd be very happy to use Neo4J if it had.
HTTPS doesn't provide any protection to the website, it can hinder MITM attacks against modern browsers and aware users, but it doesn't reduce the attack surface on the website (in fact it actually increases it).

As for certificate pinning, some browser do e.g. I'm pretty sure that Chrome has certificate pinning for at least some google services.

Also HSTS with HPKP (HTTP Public Key Pinning) can be used to further increase the resilience of HTTPS services against MITM attacks (both local and network adjacent).

That said if an adversary is capable of doing even basic network adjacent attacks they can still do a redirection via DNS which is why it's important to not have HTTP support only or have a fully enforced redirect which will likely to get the target stuck on a redirect loop.

For DNS redirection attacks all they need to do is to be faster than the DNS responder or poison the local DNS cache.

Though in many corporate settings, that's where you'd expect to see it. Many externally facing dash frameworks require too many dependencies; this one went lighter in some ways b/c they assume that it's behind a wall and in a trusted environment.

http://www.cyclotron.io/faq.html:

"Can I Use Cyclotron to Host Dashboards on the Internet?

It is not recommended to deploy Cyclotron as-is in a public setting. Cyclotron was designed to be used in a corporate intranet environment, rather than for public dashboards. In addition, it's possible to create malicious dashboards using the extensibility features of Cyclotron. Allowing untrustworthy users to create dashboards is not recommended."

The quote "thermal properties of ice" is part of the line:

> And the finding might lead to new applications — such as, essentially, ice-filled wires — that take advantage of the unique electrical and thermal properties of ice while remaining stable at room temperature.

This tidbit of Science Journalism reads like a whimsical fantasy of the writer of the article after a cursory read of the abstract, rather than a statement of fact by the authors of the paper. It's important to differentiate these types of phrases when reading this sort of article.

The "thermal properties" here do not seem to actually include the temperature; they're heating it up to measure the melting point of the ice they form. There's no indication that it spontaneously changes temperature when exposed to this physical phenomenon, nor that the ice remains solid when returned to the liquid water, nor that the process generates a constant flow. If these things happened, I would definitely expect the paper to focus on that application.

More generally, any idea which would violate the laws of thermodynamics should probably be dismissed as a misunderstanding of the system. It's good to be curious, but you should also be skeptical.

It actually is pretty common (look how much better Mass Effect 3 is with The Citadel & Leviathan DLC, or Dragon Age Inquisition with the Trespasser DLC, or Deus Ex: Human Revolution with The Missing Link, for example) but it isn't a for any nefarious reason.

For the most part, it's just the plain fact that DLC is made at the end of the cycle, after all the creative people working on it have had the most time to get the feel for the worlds they create. And this experience translates in to better worldbuilding.
Well, you can always simulate this at home ^_^; my recent lifestyle changes (buying and renovating a home built in 1910, i.e. I'm cash poor right now) have resulted in my eating one of a variety of tasty Asian instant noodle dishes for lunch. As long as you're willing to spend a buck or two, here are some of the more unusual favorites I've found, besides the standbys of Sapporo Ichiban (although the Shio + some sesame oil is a new favorite there), and of course Nongshim's very spicy Shin Ramyun:

Nongshim also has a seafood Neoguri with "Udon Style Noodles" (i.e. they're a bit larger than normal); if you like seafood, this is worth trying out. They also appear to take pride in not using MSG, at least in the produced in the US stuff, so if you're sensitive to that their products are worth checking out.

Myojo sells an Ippeichan Yakisoba Japanese Style that's very tasty, and this style has no soup base. Rather, they have clever packaging that allows you to cook the noodles and vegetables (and a lot more of the latter than any other type I've come across) in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain them without losing any of the food. Then you add a spice pack, a Worcestershire sauce based sauce, and mustard mayonnaise (why didn't we think of that??), the entire combination is wonderful.

They also sell a good Tonkatsu ramen, but as of late I haven't been able to find it for less than $3/pack and that's too much.

Moving further away, A-Sha Dry Noodle sells a variety of "air dryed", no preservative so the best buy dates don't tend to be more than 6 months out by the time you get them, noodles with sauce packets. You cook the noodles like pasta, 1.5-5 minutes depending on size, drain, then add the sauce packet. Mala spicy chili is great, as is spicy "BBQ" as in Sha Cha flavor if you like that, as I do, Mandarin is basic but good, the sesame oil and paste packets are a disappointment, but readily fixed by adding some sesame oil.

Moving even further away, you can get straight from Vietnam some solid attempts to make instant pho from Vifon, beef and chicken, and these have distant expiration dates because the noodles are rice, and the oil is essentially limited to a 17 calorie packet of spiced palm oil. Not really like the good pho I enjoyed in Arlington, VA, but there are hints of that, and they're worthy in the own rights.

Ask for links and I'll put up ones from Amazon, Walmart.com and A-Sha's storefront, although the Nongshim Neoguri in family packs is now on the shelves of my favorite Wal-Mart Supercenter in rather small Jopin, MO (!!!). Then again, it's really good stuff, and we really like our fish here, e.g. Bass Pro Shops world HQ is only 70 minutes NE on I-44 in Springfield, MO, now Missouri's 3rd largest city.
