Thanks for the links but your claim against the article is a bit heavy handed

The article is much larger than CPU level access and control..It discusses high level issues worth thinking about such as communications and social elements

The article lacks any real actionable advice to date it too much.. when will it be out of vogue to suggest reading 1984 to aide in 'anticipation'?

But the value of the article aside.. your language: dated; made me interested in finding out when ME was first introduced and I was having trouble finding any concrete dates of introduction

A lot of your links and their references date around 2015+, yet the authors of your linked book worked at Intel around 2007 and failed to discuss introduction dates

Then I found this at the libreboot FAQ that states ME was introduced into all Intel chips 2006+(o) with the real issues after implementations dating after ~2009+

Also in my search I found some promising leads on overcoming the ME issue:

TV to Mobile: One Reason Why Most Fortune 500 Companies Are Losing Market Share
In my opinion, following projects, books, and courses are sub-optimal ways of learning programming. The typical cycle involves a peak of enthusiasm where you're eager to follow the lessons and then, a gradual disinterest in the entire process. I started learning Haskell and C# with books but was soon turned off with the lack of opportunities to use the technologies.

What has allowed me to learn at my best pace, and still does, is building a small practical application with my knowledge, or solving challenging problems. Finishing something you made, which is also useful, is motivating to continue and create more things. Not knowing enough is a minor problem which is often aggravated. You can usually find resources to learn along the way of a small project.

What exercises do I recommend? You have to look around and think of small doable hacks achievable with modest programming knowledge. Things that come to mind —

1) Is there something monotonous you do every day? Can it be automated with programming?

2) Does your computer have lots of disorganised stuff? It would be fun to arrange and analysing them.

3) Do you come across a data format that's hard to read and parse? Can it be converted into something easier like CSV?

4) Is there something that you need to check manually often? Can it be achieved by some rudimentary scraping and alerts?

5) Are there any public data sources that interest you? Do you think you can analyse them using programming?

Apart from this, I used to be driven to solve Project Euler [1] problems which get invigorating and challenging after you're done with the easier ones.

My experience suggests that people develop their own ways of learning something; not everyone's playbook is same. But the general observation is that it's when they have fun, they learn the most. Try and experiment with what you enjoy most doing, and develop a habit of doing more of it. Good Luck!

We've tried to satisfy the 90% case with the UI and "easy" options, especially those that transfer well from other push-to-build products.

To keep the UI simple and understandable for everyone, we decided to drop some options and require that you use a config for the more interesting cases.

There are lots of examples of config files (often named `cloudbuild.yaml`) in our github repo: https://github.com/googlecloudplatform/cloud-builders
Others have speculated that the tunnelling may be in preparation for a Mars colony, where underground living spaces have the advantage that they're protected from radiation.
The borrow rate my broker (IB) is quoting is 120% despite only 7.55% of the float being short.

I guess the clearing firms just don't have any shares to lend out -- we could see another price drop once the stock is easier to borrow.
Related to this vaguely, I wonder how easy it would be to code a cell counting app for a phone.

Awhile back, I designed and printed a case for my phone that could fit over the lens of a microscope allowing me to take pictures/videos with it. One technique that researchers use to estimate the number of cells in a dish/suspension is to aliquot a small amount and place it on a hemocytometer. Essentially, this is a slide with etched grids; counting the number of cells in the area allows you to estimate the larger population. It is tedious and depending on the number of cells, easy to mess up.

I'd imagine that phones now are powerful enough to analyze this. I don't know whether a live-imaging setup is capable as I am no expert in phone tech. But taking a picture, thresholding to remove noise, etc... seems like it could be done.
Sure, but that's the US, not the UK.
Very cool. I like the idea enough that I want to find a reason to use it, but none comes to mind immediately. The real problem, it seems, is not being able to get something on the web, but getting anyone to look at it.
You may be interested in trying GCCB with the bazel build step: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-builders/tree/m...

In a GCCB build, we volume-mount in the VM host's docker daemon socket, so you can use the docker CLI, and related CLIs, with no additional setup.

We initially tried a docker-in-docker approach here, but it was a bit too fragile. This attempt was quite some time ago, so it's possible things have improved.
Switching the link format (html, bbcode, plain) is broken after the first switch, showing the wrong URL

When you upload the same file it warn. Good enough. But when you continue anyway the KB/s and ETA displays do not show anything.

A chair for the world
This is pretty funny for me to read. As the article mentions many people apparently did, I picked up an Instant Pot on Prime Day last year. I had no idea there was such a following around it until reading this, I just wanted a pressure cooker.

I received it, and stuck it in my closet expecting to pull it out when I needed to pressure cook something. My wife discovered it pretty soon after and began using it for several tasks I didn't even realize it was capable of. She absolutely loves the thing, to the point I was joking with her about it. It's funny to me to see that our experience is far from unique.
ooo wowww, who _ever_ would have seen this coming?
Or thought it heard Alexa. There were many many times when my devices recognized Hey Siri and Okay Google during regular conversation when no such thing was said. I've disabled that capability on all my devices as well.
Because it was set in a location with shipping containers?
If you send me an email (skelterjohn at google dot com) I'd love to help you get things working with that repo and GCCB.
I'd never heard of Standard Notes until today. Is there any reason I should switch to it (from Simplenote), if I'm not interested in self-hosting?
I didn't think the BBC did advertising.
This was caused by a bug and the PDF preview had been briefly replaced by a placeholder.

You should now be able to see your own PDF instead of a placeholder, thanks for pointing it out.
I have a tough time trusting a new service where I cannot figure out where this business is located / registered, where they have a physical presence, the person/team who built this service. Having more details in an About Us section would help it look more legit.
Sounds exactly like other services that offer premium file services, how is this different? Also, while I know you're claiming this doesn't take away from the free users, it clearly does.
"Step 2: Click through to the company website to make sure it was live, they were still in business..." Unfortunately your domain brings up a 404 error, 'The requested resource is not found'. So no company website? Your web consultancy is not live? Strange.
When you've got a great product, your users become your extended sales force: I've bought this for my relatives for the holiday season and have recommended it to my friends. I think Amazon recommendation system opens new product avenues like this that didn't exist before.

It is easy to praise this product -- it combines a rice cooker with a pressure cooker and stew simmer (and, I guess, a yogurt maker) all in one device that saves kitchen storage and counter top space. They've thought of lots of stuff: making the seal easily replaceable, and allowing you to buy extra tin cans with lids (from cooking right to refrigerator). The cans are perfect size for the dish washer, etc. It's well designed, solves an urgent need, solidly built and just works.
Equivalent to the "multiRet" function there and, I think, easier to follow:

int multiRet() {
if (!a) return 0;
if (!b) return 1;
return c ? 2 : 0;
}

The singleRet function, as someone else already pointed out, actually has different behaviour (as well as being, in my view, just slightly harder to read and reason about):

int singleRet() {
if (!a) return 0;
return (b&&c) ? 2 : 1;
}

Both of these seem to me much much clearer than the multiply-nested versions there, and much clearer than introducing a new variable for the sake of a single return point.

(The other way to get a single return point here is to turn the code into a nest of ?: operators. I claim that will be less readable and more error-prone for most C programmers.)

I can't recall any instance I've ever seen where code became simpler or easier to follow as a result of turning multiple return points into a single return point.
You may find this Scientific American graph interesting: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/world-leaders/

As you can see, in Germany and France, research institutes take the place of what in the US and the UK would be universities like Harvard, MIT, Oxford, and Cambridge. Fraunhofer doesn't even show up, because while they do a lot of amazing stuff, they aren't under publish-or-perish constraints (they instead have contracts to fulfill) and so they publish comparatively little.

This has a number of reasons, some of which are pragmatic. For example, if a French or German university wants to hire a professor, that professor usually has to be able to speak French or German, respectively, at least at a near-native level to be an effective teacher (there are exceptions, but it's still a frequent requirement). Research institutes aren't constrained in this fashion, even though they closely interoperate with universities.
I think this is mostly it. There are no new drug users coming up. Those you are addicted are maintained, those who are not too far gone are helped to reduce (most at this stage probably want off and they can see how it has destroyed / is destroying their life but don't know how)

As the market is disrupted, dealers move onto other drugs as there is no profit there, so is not so easy to find any more on the illicit market.

The situation is different to the US, whose current problems seem to be mostly from over prescription of pain pills, then when that was closed the flooding of the country with heroin and fentanyl to an already addicted population.

Purely anecdotally, the US does / did seem to prescribed lots more pain meds than any other country. When I used to use drugs (recreationally) and frequent drug forums in the early 2000s pain pills were regularly mentioned by those who used drugs recreationally for parties and were mentioned the same as party drugs, whereas in Europe they did not exist (outside the heroin scene).

Now, I live in tropical South Amercia, ,where quite a few US based expats move to each year, one of the biggest problems they have is getting their medication here. A large percentage are on a huge amount of strong medication. The expats from Europe are not. I don't think the lifestyle back home was that different, I don't think US people feel pain more than others, just that the Drs prescribe lots and lots of medication. Or perhaps European Drs just under prescribe due to public health systems and not wanting to fund the medication. Or perhaps the counter, there is more profit for the US Drs to prescribe more. Whatever the cause, there is a vast difference between the two

Absolutely.

Under the covers, GCCB is an arbitrary execution engine - we run a series of containers for you.

On top of that, we provide a lot of nice dressing to make it convenient and easy to build containers.

https://cloud.google.com/container-builder/docs/api/build-st... and https://cloud.google.com/container-builder/docs/api/custom-b... are documentation on how to use and create your own custom build steps.

Additionally, your build steps have access to the credentials of the service account used to run your build, so pushing to Cloud Storage, for instance, is straightforward (use the gsutil build step).
All you need to do is drop a hint and put the idea in their head, however obliquely you want to do it.

When I was at University, there was a public directory of employees and students available internally. You could opt-out, but very few people did. You could search by last name, but you had to use at least two letters and the responses cut off after 50 or something like that, although those 50 were in order. When I was in my senior year, somebody breathlessly ran to the student newspaper to loudly proclaim that they had scraped it and had a full copy of the database. I took a little impromptu survey at my next computer science class... "Who here hasn't at least mentally designed how to scrape the student database?" The answer was, nobody.

The student body at large was at least modestly impressed but that guy won no points with the computer science students that day.

Oh, and nobody had to "suggest" this to us.

I hope Europe and Germany especially finally wake up and start kicking out these pests. The US/CIA is conducting crimes against humanity on foreign soil. Like the drone war. The US may not be part of the international court but Germany is.
We recognize the demand, and we're open to trying to get things working, but currently there is no support.

Challenges Faced by Higher Education Websites
There are plugins that let have this level of understanding. Youcompleteme.

But then vim gets heavy like an ide... Pick your poison.
Not at all. The first time you use heroin it is nothing special. If it is strong, you will vomit, a lot.

The high isn't even that great. If you are in pain when you take it, then sure. If you are dope sick from other opiates, then sure.

Addition to opiates doesn't happen from that first hit, it takes effort and dedication. You need to be using multiple times, daily for over a week before you'll get sick and even then it won't be so bad.
If you delete the data, prior to getting the notice to produce the data and it wasn't deleted in anticipation of such a notice, sure the court could hold you in contempt, but legally you've done nothing wrong.

You cannot easily make a third random third-party delete your data.
Can anyone express why this is important before I dive into this paper?
Well, you are right that it is slightly heavy handed. I also thought that a lot of the higher level stuff in it might still be valid.

But at the fundamental level the battle is lost, you will never own your (x86 based) PC as long as there is an IME/PSP in it.

Concerning the introduction of the IME/PSP, it says already in the first link that I provided: "All post-2013 (AMD) and virtually all post-2009 (Intel) systems".

I think we are very far from neutralizing the IME. Earlier implementations can be manipulated to some degree (not "neutralized" though), but recent versions are rather fool proof.

The book is written by one of the engineers of the IME. While it might not discuss introduction dates it discusses pretty much everything else and is THE reference when studying the IME :)
Did the GP say anywhere that it was?
GCCB does inside-VM parallelism with build steps, but the service itself does not support fan-out to multiple machines.

I think of GCCB as a building block on which a fan-out product can be built on. In fact, here is some vaporware: https://github.com/skelterjohn/flargo (a 20% project that is mostly just some ideas right now) (I am skelterjohn).
It's a gray area - where do you draw the line between reporting on a cult and advertising a product? Is http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-39158975 an advert for that site?

An idea to help with this would be to call your senator/congressperson and ask that mental health and drug rehab be added to affordable care act. I'm not sure if that type of coverage is there but if they can get it added to the revamped legislation then maybe people in your sisters situation would have some avenue of hope.
Right now a lot of our quality devs are getting poached.

We're lucky in the sense that most of our interns are smart folks from solid institutions such as UoT, Waterloo etc.

I'm tempted to jump ship myself but I wanted to see out a project I'm working on first.
WikiLeaks' files reveal major security breach at the CIA
Seriously, screw google home and Amazon echo. If I wanted a wiretap, I'd go to FISA court.
Buying new ones every 3 years seems the more wasteful choice, especially when they can be upgraded.
We don't currently have a supported way to inject Docker Hub credentials into your build, but it's a feature we have our eye on.
>it seems like people on the spectrum often think a little differently, are painfully aware of it, and feel the need to be constantly scrutinizing their words and actions around other people.

You don't know the half of it..
The key is the truncated hash of the file for the purpose of file deduplication. However, it will not impose any security risks as the person who wishes to decrypt it would have to know the hash of the file which requires them to already know the contents of the file making it useless.

The password encryption is indeed server-side, but it is mainly there to protect the file against anyone who somehow finds/guesses the URL and it's a useful feature if you want to slightly increase the level of security without encrypting the file with AES.
Ah thanks, I misread that. I get that these types of storages are inefficient, that's the point I was trying to emphasize, a solution like this looks interesting, but it's not a serious competitor to nuclear power, or even pumped hydro (it's basically pumped hydro, but with a human made reservoir).
> nobody who writes C# managed to produce a benchmark yet that beats a C++ program

No, but I've seen Haskell programs that were much faster than the C++ program they replaced, which is what matters in the real world.

Microbenchmarks measure what happens if you have the time to polish every single line to perfection. If you have infinite developer time then C++ will be faster than most languages. But infinite developer time is a negligible use case.
You get exactly the same pressure from traditional pumped storage of the same height. (Well, ignoring the tiny density difference between salt and fresh water)
Yes, when you have full blown IDE and use typed language. It is somewhat weaker when you have full blown IDE and use something like javascript (e.g. which find function from gazimillion find functions in project was it supposed to be)?

It is really weaker with sublime or vim, at least from what I have seen. They often did not found right function even when it was in the same file and there was no ambiguity - leading to harder to read code with deep nesting and loooong functions (that really should have been split into named steps).

It does not do that at all when vim user did not bothered to configure right plugins or did not bothered to learn them.
>For others, especially the higher-functioning, undiagnosed and too smart, alcohol, drugs and sex may become the means, end, and medicine. I'm speaking from personal experience.

Can confirm, I probably wouldn't be here had I not started smoking weed.
It seems more likely that PRIMOS would have been influenced by Multics.
That's a funny implementation. It would end up being an infinite loop for any command that wasn't a builtin, or didn't have an identically named thing higher up the PATH. Like if you renamed it from /usr/bin/cd to /usr/bin/mycd.

This had the potential of being a positive development brought by Trump's election: many behaviors by the US three letter agencies that were glossed over for the past 8 years (due to the party in power being "on the right side of history") are again reprehensible and deemed a threat to be fought by the tech community.
No C++ is to blame. This type of error could never happen in OCaml and Haskell.

I never considered myself either a social butterfly or an outdoors person in any capacity beyond an occasional bike ride, but compared to a lot of SF dwellers, apparently I am. I cannot imagine paying such exorbitant sums to live in a tiny ass apartment and have all my worldly needs delivered to my door so I can sit and do whatever until the next time I had to leave my house.

This existence sounds awful and I don't know how people not only manage to do it, but aspire to it.
> Amazon has agreed to hand over data from an Amazon Echo that may have been operating as an alleged murder took place, after the defendant consented.

A much more interesting question is if Amazon would have released the data without the defendants conset.
