... USian here who has lived in the UK -

My gut feeling is that these days the phrase is used more commonly in the vernacular in the UK than the US, with US usage being much more restricted to the pure 'business' professions (e.g. managers, accountants, etc), and not so much elsewhere.

Common day-to-day usage to express same would tend more towards more
nebulous or incorrect terms as 'successful/profitable business' or perhaps 'liquid/insolvent', or something like that.

> We demonstrate how an inactive or even a minimised web page, using JavaScript, is able to listen to and silently report the device motion and orientation data about a user who is working on a separate tab or a separate app on the device.

This is brilliant and well-explained.

On page 6 of the PDF, the authors include a breakdown of the leakages they found in each browser family. The two that were most significant to me is Chrome's "Active/Other" leak on iPhones and Safari's "Locked" leak. I believe this means that malicious Javascript (1) on Google Chrome on an iPhone on an inactive tab, and (2) on mobile Safari while the screen is locked, can access tilt and motion data at a level of detail sufficient to deduce what the user is typing.

That's odd. Why do you think AMD is spread out over many sockets? Their old CPU's are entirely irrelevant now so only the AM4 socket is relevant today, no? And for intel that is still spread among 1150, 1151 and some 2011 versions

So you mean.. what exactly?
I used the T60P before upgrading to a W520. The drawback of the T60P is that you're capped at 4GB with a CPU that shows strain if you want to do heavier lifting, but if you are severely budget constrained then it's a decent choice. I think the price difference between the T60P and T42P is negligible at this point too.

If going with the T60P or older, then a good SSD is an absolute requirement, IMO.
I'm skeptical, as I feel it's too normalised and the of majority people/customers are willing to live with this. On top of that "Customers" who are paying nothing to use these services (Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.), are the products

I think the most critical factor in the success or failure of a software development project is the skill and dedication of the developers. Yet I never seem to hear or "Agile Coaches" mention that.

Take a look at this survey Yale did:

http://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/yco...

Aside from CA/FL/TX and a few other scattered points, people think they will escape the coming changes unscathed

The numbers seem to be very unreliable, though. Over here (Finland), reputable sources (such as WWF and State Statistics Center) give drastically different numbers for aviation emissions.

I had taken the public bus for years and I don't recall people interacting before smart phones were popular. Maybe it's different on a subway or in different cities.

I found the worst people around me with phones are the older ones. The teenagers put it down but the older people seem to think that a text will expire if they don't respond immediately, regardless of what they are doing at the time.
That is much snappier than Google Maps.
That changed a long time ago, I'm surprised people are only noticing now. The change was not borne out of malice: like Facebook, they try to filter out accounts with too much noise or which you don't really interact with, to show you only stuff you're really interested in. In the past you'd see all @-replies and a single noisy account could basically flood your timeline, that's hardly the case nowadays.

In the case of Scott Adams mentioned above, it happens to me regularly with tons of people who are absolutely unthreatening. There is certainly real censorship going on inside all these centralized platforms (like deleting content), but Occam suggests this is just Twitter trying too hard.

I wonder why Twitter is doing this? What is their incentive for deleting negative tweets about another unrelated corporation? It's not like Twitter has a stake in United. And would they do it just for money? I know they are turning at a loss but this does not seem like a scalable business model...
TL;DR: Intel is still faster for single-threaded tasks, but the AMD with all its cores and threads demolishes on parallel work loads. It doesn't lag far behind on single threaded performance either, so overall it's a big winner unless your application is stubbornly dependent on single threaded performance.

Ha I just finally stopped using my ~2008 T61 with similar specs (now acting as my pfsense router). Was a great machine, but realistically a core2 duo is just too under powered these days. I had 4GB ram and a 128GB SSD and even looked into upgrading the cpu for a bit. You could get the highest spec CPU from ebay, but cost for such little gain made it not worth it.

Money is no motive, many may think that is a slight, but it's truth. Personal accomplishment is the best motive. But sometimes people's motives become clouded with things they "want" like the good little consumers they are taught to be.

When success is no longer measured by how many physical items one can collect, and based on the health and happiness of the community around them, then only then might true success be realized.
Aside from the DDOS incidents Linode is generally very solid in connectivity department, but their communication skills when things go wrong leaves a lot of be desired - often their status page is 20+ minutes behind and has omissions. The way they handled communication on security issues was equally poor.

That is irrelevant. If you get a proper i5 now, the only upgrade option you are sure to have is the i7-7700K, and if you are lucky there might be i7 of the next line.

Absolutely buy an intel processor if it is the right fit for you (=you are a gamer), but don't expect to re-use the mainboard for your next processor - only plan with that if you go with a Pentium G4560 for now. Then you can upgrade to a better processor of the current generation.
This pretty much points out to just how challenging worrying about name collisions/connotations can be. Sometimes it is a genuine issue. Other times, like the iPad for example, there may be a few titters here and there. And you'll have a few self-professed experts claiming that the company marketing really messed up.

But it's often genuinely not an issue.

Naming is a pain in the neck. I've been through it several times. And there's a huge amount of effort and no small amount of money often involved. It's hugely difficult to come up with something that is available, searchable, not confusing, works across languages, and that none of the major stakeholders especially hates.
Future in computing means 3-5 years. Everything else is just a day dream.

In the time between AM2 and AM3 AMD's socket strategy was pretty straight forward. Don't know what they tried with FM/FS stuff. I am looking forward to the success of AM4.
Hey HN - if you have similar resources, please comment and share.
When considering the switch from Intel to AMD, don't be fooled by comparing clock speeds! Intel has been ahead of AMD in the performance-per-clock game for a long time, and while some of these benchmarks look more promising than my disappointing experience (buying Magny Cours, and later upgrading to Interlagos), less-expensive (and lower TDP) Intel CPUs in many of these benchmarks still come out ahead of Ryzen. The tests where the Ryzen does shine generally seem to involve parallel workloads, but bear in mind that most of the stuff you wait for your computer to do are still bottlenecked by a single thread.
nah, I think they are about the same.
Hi there, Ursa from Visionect here. Just a slight clarification: the 9.7 Sign is not a consumer product in the sense of a digital picture frame.

1Password uses TLS, and SRP inside TLS. If TLS is broken as in Cloudbleed, SRP hopefully still protects the channel - at least against non-active attacks such as Cloudbleed.

I'm looking at page 52 of https://1password.com/teams/white-paper/1Password%20for%20Te....
This is a great idea, maybe not just "what I want to research" but write out exactly what I want to accomplish before I turn on the computer. For example, pay electric bill, move money to savings, send an email to dad. etc. I can't really imagine not being able to pay bills online, I am trying to reduce the physical mail I get/have to deal with. I would never want to go back to writing checks and putting them in the mail.

Intel's offerings with more than 4 cores have been segregated into an "enthusiast"/HEDT platform (X99) with more expensive mainboards and the CPUs have been overpriced too.

Ryzen is reasonably priced & has one socket for the 4, 8 and 6 core CPUs.
To be fair, after AM3 there was also FM1, FM2, FM2+, AM1 and AM2.
He's blogged about it several times. According to his blog posts, he can track which posts get "shadowbanned" by blog analytics. Apparently, his posts regarding Trump or climate science aren't showing up in a lot of his followers' feeds. Even more remarkably, he seems to have gotten around it for now with code words - tweeting that the post is about kittens when it's really about a supposedly shadowbanned subject, which has supposedly restored his normal blog traffic rates from Twitter.

Sure looks like Twitter is in the business of censoring content that doesn't fit their political views. If they'll do that, there's no telling what else they'll censor.

This is nonsense. I would love to use Rust in games (I currently work in games) but it's not clear that it would work out. That opinion is shared by game developers far more experienced and prominent than myself.

I (and I presume many others) would appreciate it if you would stop making grand, unfounded assertions about what Rust is good for. Games do make very different tradeoffs from most software- type and memory safety aren't an obvious, uncontested win there.

No, it's not strange. What you wrote can be interpreted as manipulation. It's the same as replying to question "Who uses Go besides Google?"

Well yeah, for writing code you might as well use decade old CPU and it wouldn't really matter. Only compile times would suffer.

If you use more performance-critical applications I think the best way to future-proof would be to buy an "unlocked" CPU that you'll be able to overclock when you want to juice out a bit more power (maybe at the cost of a better cooling system). At least that's what I do.
Yeah. Nobody is perfect, but Linode's technical features and support makes up for it in my book.

This might clarify my position a bit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_egoism
Counting integers from 0 by 2s and never hitting 1 (or 3 or 5 ...) still results in a finite number of natural numbers counted in finite time, skipping a finite number of natural numbers at each step. How many reals do you have to skip between 0.0 and 2.0 and between 2.0 and 4.0 ?

Returning to my previous attempt, you could think of instead a successor function; for any finite natural number the immediately adjacent natural number can be found in finite time. For any real number, the immediately adjacent real number cannot be found in finite time because the step from one real number to the next is infinitesimally small.

All of these examples are "de-generalizations" of the mapping argument. Counting integers from 0 by 2s maps bijectively onto the natural numbers.
The naturals map injectively and surjectively onto the reals; you exhaust all the naturals counting between 0.0 and 1.0, or 1.0 and 2.0, or even between 0.01 and 0.011.

"A real number with infinite precision is equally meaningless": uhm, integration of infinitesimals (dS, dV, ...) ?
