My first computer ran at a touch over 1MHz, and I've had a lifetime of needing (sic) to upgrade my computer every couple of years to chase or improve upon the same perceived performance levels.

It's refreshing that -- despite not having 10GHz CPU's available -- my 6yo CPU/mobo still does not feel in any way slow or in need of upgrade.

Yes, other components have offset the relatively slow pace of CPU improvements (GPU's for gamers, SSD's for everyone, etc) but it feels like we're enjoying a lengthy era of 'good enough grunt' on the CPU front (for most of us).
Most of the ones that I have heard of here in Australia don't provide a number - they just call you direct and say that they are reacting to a 'virus log' on their system, apparently.

I have had several family members and colleagues being called by them over the years - some multiple time, but so far I've never received a call from them. I actually can't wait for one of them to call me. My intent is to string them along on the phone for as long as I can with the reasoning that every minute he is wasting with me is a minute that he can't scam an unsuspecting person...
If you don't own any of it, at least in your mind, it's interesting that someone is selling the software that you don't own, and asking you to confirm that. If it wouldn't cost you anything you care about, consider countering with "to save time, make me your best offer." See what they do!

Hardly, to be honest. Most folks dont care about surveillance at all, and ask for more state powers.
Those very deep pipelines are the reason NetBurst was very good at some tasks but not so great for general use. They made branching mispredictions be really expensive as a pipeline flush would result in a large number (~20 IIRC) cycles to be "wasted".
Sounds like a system I built, but what I didn't account for is how often the RabbitMQ cluster would get tanked by my coworkers. The system fails when messages start getting dropped on the floor due to server reboots. Still haven't come up with a great solution, but what we have is "good enough" for that project's requirements. It was a great learning experience though, an uncomfortable reminder of the difference between reliability and durability, and it definitely helped inform subsequent architectural decisions.
Towards Deep Developmental Learning
There is really no public channel that I am aware of. Googling around I see news articles from ABC etc., but those seem to be more of a PR spin on our involvement over there.

The reason that I personally know is that my sister in law and her husband are both in the RAAF and have been deployed in the Middle East a few times (though not Afghanistan).

I expected it to be even slower than that - usually happens with discount dedicated hardware. Not this time, apparently.
I was not aware of this fact. IANAL, but it does look as if the concept of a deed is being abused in this context.

Kind of like where employers call employees "contractors" because they can get away with it. It looks like the purpose of a deed is to announce intention to uphold a promise such as debt repayment in exchange for title.

The idea of a deed of assignment (from googling) is that one party transfers ownership of an object to another party. If OP's earlier contract was valid then this would be extraneous, if OP's earlier contract was flawed then it would be in his/her best interest to negotiate a new contract as a deed would basically be giving away the vested interest they have.

Anyone that makes a moral argument here needs to remember that using the legal tools available to you is not immoral. It may be mean, but it's fair play. Bill Gates and Spyglass, as atrocious as it was, demonstrated this. If the original contract was flawed, then OP actually owns some vested component of the company/product.

Why in the world would OP give away something that has literally just been assigned a value for free? Frequently companies, if in the situation of OP, will leverage their legal rights in this scenario.

I still think OP should negotiate some compensation for anything they sign.
Surprised to hear there are still working solutions not available for efficient screenshare. Also interested to learn more about "anything that can help remote teams collaborate". I guess that will be really great niche area to focus on. What more do you expect than the present day available google docs kind of apps. Thanks for your suggestions.
I beg to differ here. In India, you can be elected as a PM if you have large social media brigade. Our current PM has charges of rioting against him and he won by huge margin by using effective PR and his social media brigade.
This is brilliant. Can't say whether it would work, but if you listen to the pre-recorded calls he's using to tie up the operators, they're ingenius in a comical way.

The second one features this woman who starts arguing with her teenage daughter in the background at length, then says to the guy "Oh my god I'm so distracted, I didn't hear anything you said, I'm really sorry, you're going to have to repeat all that."

What a brilliant strategy to tie them up.
We destroyed the unions so hard that there are over 7 million government employees who are members of various unions.

Because when a government really destroys a group they let huge swaths of their own employees join that group.
A hardware wallet allows you to spend coins without exposing the private keys. To spend e.g. a paper wallet, you have to swipe the keys on a computer. Yes, that can be offline, but a HW wallet reduces the amount of possible mistakes in this process.
> The U.S routinely bombs other sovereign countries and this is show cased as a "hero" activity

There's a lot of nuance here, because there isn't really a (current) clear-cut case of the US bombing a sovereign nation where the government has not given the US permission. Of the current active campaigns:

- Afghanistan

- Iraq

- Pakistan

Each of these countries has a functioning government, even mostly democratically elected, and all US military involvement is with the permission of the host -- if Pakistan told the US to stop using their airbases, it would happen.

- Syria

There's less explicit permission here, but the US is bombing a current enemy of the Syrian federal government, so there's no real complaining.

- Somalia

- Yemen

- Libya

It's completely ambiguous which government you consider to be the sovereign one (arguably, there really isn't one). Either way, at least the publicly backed government is OK with US airstrikes.

How much weight does our court system give to treaties?

I assume that if Congress explicitly passed a low contradicting a treaty, then our courts would honor Congress's law. However, given that Congress approved the treaty, it seems reasonable that when judging the actions of a federal agency (such as the IRS), the courts would try to interperat the law in a way consistent with our treaties.

>Macs used to be popular with developers but, this has basically changed IMHO.

Hedging almost-baseless assertions about verifiable facts by calling them opinions does little to hide the fact that you can't prove this and know you can't. IMHO, Macs are still very popular with developers, and the reason hasn't changed: a great GUI and a *nix command line. I personally would use Linux before Windows though because I hate both the Windows GUI and the Windows command line but I only hate the Linux GUI and could probably adjust to xmonad quickly and possibly even gain productivity. Granted I suppose I could use "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" if I absolutely had to, however I think that name itself is an adequate synecdoche for my issues with the OS as a whole.

For what it's worth I feel pretty well supported as a Rust and Haskell developer in the Mac ecosystem, and Microsoft will have to do a lot better than give me bash to make me switch. It is a necessary but not sufficient condition for my computer usage ;)
Amusingly, peppercorns have at some times/places been worth their weight in gold.
Anecdotally, I've heard that Everquest 2 (released 2004) is still impossible to run at 60FPS with all graphical settings maxed; the devs attempted to future-proof it with speculative high-end graphics options, but they optimized for high-GHz processors which never arrived.
Organized crime have had a _tremendous_ influence in Europe, and most countries of the world, up to the very top of governments. In wartime, or when the government is in a weak position domestically, they don't hesitate to resort to the muscle of mafias, and of course this has long term consequences: once they have helped the "state", they have a free hand to do a lot of things -- a lot.

> your plan is backfiring by paying the company you don't want to support (since Netflix is the one implementing the tracking) instead of the companies you do (that actually create the content you like).

TBH, that's for too deep for my moral calculus. The only things I view/pirate from Netflix are Netflix original series and PBS documentaries/educational programs. I'm paying the former directly and the latter isn't really out to maximize profit but to enlighten and educate and it's somewhat supported by my tax dollars.

You're right, you also need to sweep across the eyes with a pencil to defeat that. In case you're interested in more detail, Google starbug's excellent talk "ich sehe, also bin ich... du" (there's an English translation).

I have been hearing and reading about the expansion of Obama's drone program for years in "the media". Some quick Googling shows several examples.

One can argue that consumers of media have chosen to ignore or accept these stories, but I think it's a little disingenuous to suggest the issues aren't being raised at all.
Just to give a little intuition for exactly how fast your CPU runs (assuming ~3 GHz), a single cycle takes about as much time as it takes a photon to travel from your monitor to your eyeball.

I guess I'm having a hard time seeing what exactly is so inspiring about what Sebastian did, and why it's any different from my gambling "product." He's very far from being the first developer to play stocks. What sets him apart? It's not like he has customers, a marketable product, or anything more than some (unverified) gains.

For my gambling, I too read books. I too wrote scripts and models to assess things. I too have practiced.

At the end of the day, I don't delude myself into thinking those lessons are applicable to my actual business.
Wow... 1,700 air strikes just last year alone. That's more than 1 air strike every 6 hour for entire year! I'm wondering how much damage is being inflicted on civilians here. Not just people getting killed, but people becoming homeless or their livelihood getting destroyed. If these are not ultra-precise air strikes then we would be giving birth to future heavily disgruntled middle east population.
TBH, it is really only in HN threads I hear about any dissent. Snowden hasn't been pardoned and most of US appears against what he did. But China is universally seen as a repressive regime (which it probably is).
They also said the captain was pulling back on the stick as well.. or at least ATTEMPTING to. Maybe they're indicating that the stuck camera (which seems to have come unstuck before recovery was complete?) prevented him from doing so.

It would be really weird for both pilots pulling back on the stick to result in a dual input error situation.
I shouldn't have said "planets". I think only the top 256 "galaxies" (owned by the founders and investors) really get a vote. Maybe? That might not be right, I don't remember the details.

But there are two other misconceptions to clarify.

First, the defense against "What if the people who run urbit turn out to be jerks?" is not to have democratic voting. And it's not Bitcoin-style "51% of us agree" forks either, urbit is a top-down hierarchy. The defense is that Urbit is open source, and anyone could go out and start their own Urbit network and ask people to join it.

Second, planets have (theoretical) value, but they're not fungible, they're identities. A good analogy is: imagine if Reddit were designed to only have 2^32 handles, and they each cost a dollar. In that scenario, if Reddit said, "Hey, we've sold all our handles, hooray! Now we're going to issue an update that makes some more available", would existing Redditors lose anything?
You are very right, but there is _something_ to the theory that the availability of good jobs is a big factor. I've read a lot of cases where the FBI will capture Eastern European hackers by pretending to be an old friend of theirs, claiming to have been MIA for a while because they found a good legitimate job, and then inviting the target to apply. The target sends a passport scan as part of the application process and then gets arrested.

I think one of the biggest factors is culture. If you live in this "skype scam city" and all of your friends are doing it, then no one is judging you and you won't have too much trouble sleeping at night. On the other hand if you're in a very moral place you probably wouldn't do it.

> I directly addressed your argument and then I also made an additional argument that your premise is not necessarily true. That's not defined as moving the goalposts.

You've stated or implied:

1. Property rights is the reason that technology is augmenting humans
2. Unified global culture is the reason that technology is augmenting humans
3. Having a genetic legacy is evidence my "premise is not necessarily true"

You are definitely moving the goal posts by #1 and #2.

Also, you've failed to address:

1. Why Neanderthals were augmented despite not having property rights (#1, above)
2. What my premise has to do with genetic legacy. From what I gather, you assume that as long as the people alive today share genetic material with other species, either alive or dead, my premise is inaccurate. Why?
3. What your premise actually is. Are you talking about genetically legacy, or something else? Is all that you are saying is that those alive tomorrow will at least share some DNA from those already dead? Not much of a shocker, is it?

You are being, seemingly intentionally, unclear about many things, as well as bringing up several different threads of thought at once, muddying the conversation.

Tesla did this, it was operational in california, and all cars were designed with this capability. you can find the video where they demo'd this. There was little or no customer demand, because supercharging works so well on teslas that its a fine solution for most people's long trips.
Surely this can't be right:

>Its automatic high-speed protection system was triggered 3s later, with a maximum indicated air speed of 358kt (662km/h), or Mach 0.9, recorded.

Wikipedia says Mach 1 at sea level is 1225kph and 1091kph at 30,000ft. Not sure what temperature they assume though.
See, that quote felt like it applied to me... until we started talking about choosing whether someone lives or dies.

The thought becomes really scary when taken to its logical conclusion. After mulling it over a bit, I don't think I could work as a defense contractor.

On that point, I would encourage everyone to read this article and watch the accompanying video:

The Yemeni boy featured, whose father and older brother were killed already in US drone strikes, is quoted as saying that children in his village have nightmares of the drones. The boy himself was killed in a drone strike just two weeks after the interview.

Thoroughly solving security problems would of course take time. But the parent comment asked a very high level question: How does the security of this new proposal compare to a client-server model such as that of OpenGL? One can simulate one model over another, but in that case, performance can suffer due to overheads. This sort of thing needs to be addressed at the outset, because graphics needs performance and the web needs security; neither can be compromised upon.

Other thing that is massively underreported on much bigger scale than actual air strikes are civilian casualties. Presumably so that Americans, or Russians or whoever of the other N countries that bomb people regularly can justify killing thousands of civilians in middle east a year by mistake. It is not a mistake though, it's a calculated acceptable collateral murder where the government determines some acceptable ratio of civcas vs combatant deaths and goes with that. Of course, now if civcas are underreported by the order of magnitude, ...

Other thing to ponder is that US claims it killed around 50 000 terrorists in the last two years. Think about that. Those are supposed to be people who are said to be threat to US citizens or allies and therefore are OK to be killed by USG even at the cost of killing bystanders. Americans should start asking themselves who are these people they are supporting the murder of. Don't stop at the terrorist label.

Humanizing "them" might not be fun though, because you'll inevitably run into your propagandized fellow citizens, and start feeling decidedly not good about their capacity for empathy or nuance in understanding the world.

> “I can tell you, unequivocally, we are not trying to hide the number of strikes," the official said. "That is just the way it has been tracked in the past. That’s what it’s always been.”

That may be true, but I do not have a high level of confidence that there's not someone further up the chain saying "hey, let's use the Army for this one, eh?" with a wink.
kubeadm is not fixing the underlying complexity - it's putting a veneer on top. It's certainly helpful to simplify the deployment, but kubeadm is only needed in the first place because of how complicatd kubernetes is.

To be clear I'm not saying there aren't deployments where the complexity of something like kubernetes isn't necessary.

But most people only run a small number of servers. I'd argue most clusters people are deploying are going to stay below 10 servers for their entire lifetime, and a dozen or two services that generally tends to need basic high availability and load balancing and 1-3 different data stores with replication/data persistence requirements. For that kind of setup, while you certainly can run kubernetes, the complexity of it simply isn't needed.
I wonder what aspect of Chomsky makes him uninteresting. Maybe it's that his message - trying to point out the human flaws of his governmemt - goes so much against the grain of hollywood aided propaganda that people presume it's either minute details or just wrong?
