> You'll never get the same performance for the same cost on PC.

In a direct from-nothing-to-full-system comparison, sure. But if you've got a desktop already, your costs might just be the Nvidia card, and maybe some more RAM if that's lacking. Newegg has Nvidia 1070 cards that advertise DX12 for $370. It looks like a 1080 will cost about the same as I imagine the Xbox refresh will cost for about 15%-20% more power. By the time this is actually released, a good 6+ months from now, I imagine those prices will probably be much better.

That's not the only thing that matters of course, but there are benefits to updating your general purpose machine, in that you might make use of that extra power in other ways (e.g. extra RAM making the system more performant in general, not just for games).
How? Isn't the Raptor already in testing? How is the BE-4 ahead of it?
That is interesting, I think the way I do it is quite similar: normally I write the examples that would go in the documentation first then work around it, but I don't write the whole text+proofreading which is what takes most of the time for me.

7. Everyone's hardware infringes tons of patents that they didn't license or even probably know about. Open source drivers and documentation will expose that fact and invite lawsuits.
Agreed. When I needed a letter of credit BofA refused to issue one to a new company, despite us having ample cash to cover our commercial lease. We switched to SVB, they issued one quickly, and we've been happy ever since. Their technology stack may be a little antiquated, but they are very startup-friendly in their policies. They offer lots, especially to well-funded startups, that you just won't find elsewhere.
No, they may have a build, but it's not available yet.

My Nexus (5X) says the most-recent update (security or otherwise) is dated March 5th.
You have to acknowledge a bank named Silicon Valley and having absolutely terrible technology and only recently a mobile app that is not even native is somewhat of an oxymoron. They also nickel and dime fees.

While I am sure SVB does assist with loans, investors, legal, most small businesses and startups just need a checking account and going with SVB is a mistake.
My thoughts too.
Yep. This is generally true in business about a lot of things and especially in software because of the virtual nature of things it creates an incentive for people to pretend things and inflate their claims so they get put in the same bucket as the big guys.

That's how you end up with a weak site run by 2 people on a shared hosting with outdated software but they put up a polished home-page with "military-grade 256-bit encryption" on it and a lock icon and a chunk of people will not know better.

I'm sure there's a proper term in economic theory for this concept someone can point out.

No one says "security of our users is our 158th priority". However their behaviour very clearly shows it.

They just want the benefits of a perception of security without actually putting in the effort. And when the chances of getting punished for it is low enough they can get away with it.

This attitude also creates opportunity for a certain class of employees/contractors to shine. The type that does a very shallow job but claims that "everything is done". Business people love that and think that person is so smart and effective.

Want backups? No problem he'll drop a single line in a cron file to generate unverified nightly backups sitting in /var/backups and says "I have taken care of backups." in 20 minutes.

Chances are nothing goes wrong for years and he'll be the super efficient hero.

But it's also possible that the business will suffer catastrophic data loss and finds out the true cost of their decisions.

The person who wants to tackle the problem more deeply gets punished because they think he/she is too slow or makes things complicated.

It can get pretty frustrating because what happens is you end up getting asked to achieve something and when you attempt to do it people will be like "no no no we didn't mean like that ... can't you just install a security plugin or something in there in an afternoon and move on to the next task?".

So you will be forced to do it in a way that is not effective/full-proof and when things go bad you still have to take the blame because it was your responsibility.

At some point I started calling people out on it.
Well, it is legendary I'll give them that.

For your first few transcripts, it will stick out at you. After you've read a few transcripts from nervous people giving a deposition, you'll see what dithering properly looks like. You'll also begin to see that overly fluid long pieces of prose in back-and-forth discussion aren't natural - they indicate an individual has rehearsed their statement.

In this case, almost every person in that room was top-in-class quality.

I never heard of that happening, when was that?

Wikipedia says that those 80GB consoles still had hardware PS2 GPUs and only did the CPUs in software, and that later models took out everything. No mention of software downgrades.
A lot of the psychedelics literature is similarly unexciting unfortunately, but the reason is this "obvious" groundwork hasn't been done yet in a scientific context. So give it time and support and hopefully researchers' will have the opportunity to get to the more interesting bits!

How a VC's off-handed remark led to my dream job
Hello Dribbble
Contributors volunteer skilled labor that can help a project be even better. The worst thing a maintainer can do is dissuade them from helping.

A good rule of thumb is to assume positive intent from contributors. People who are requesting changes are trying to solve problems; rarely are they doing it for personal aggrandizement or to fulfill some philosophical mission.

One thing that really upsets me when I propose changes -- especially when they're accompanied by code -- is getting a thumbs-down from (or, even worse, an issue closed by) a maintainer, without any constructive feedback as to how to resolve their concerns. I can work with someone who can inform me about their concerns or the weaknesses of my proposal, and who says, "yes, but...," but I can't work with someone who just says "no."

In my own projects, I have a rule of thumb: I never close an issue without the consent of the submitter. I try to ensure I've either convinced them that there's a better way to do what they're trying to achieve; I've resolved their problem as best I can; or I simply don't have the resources to give them a proper resolution.
Why Nodemailer uses MIT license and dropped copyleft EUPLv1.1
My claim was that changing the defaults was harder than installing VPNs. I mean, there are lots of things that you could change. Firefox has simplified the GUI, but there's a ton of enigmatic stuff in about:config. Using VPNs for basic browsing, messaging, email etc is indeed trivial. There's basically an on/off button.
> Nobody yet knows what Google's intentions are with this project relative to Android

Pretty sure one of the effects will be total inability to port Linux drivers to the platform in order to install different operating systems. Not saying that this is easy today, but still some degree of compatibility allows the creation of jailrooted environments.
A 100% OSS alternative to iOS and Android sadly won't be here anytime soon, surely not from the big players.
I haven't downplayed the tech advances at all here so that's a false narrative you concocted to make a point that ignores what I have done. That is I pointed out a few things that we should be discussing about this.

I really don't care if that causes some shade to fall on your fantasies of what this project might lead to. Not a bit. In fact, I couldn't care any less.

We are not discussing "Sci-Fi" here. This isn't a "Trekkie" convention, it's the real world effects of this we're talking about.
At least with the 4k OLEDs, you are also getting HDR, way better contrast ratio, better colors, etc. So, you'll notice that, even if you don't notice the resolution difference.

I am excited to see Xbox support HDR. I just hate to see all of this extra hardware dedicated to resolution, when there are so many things that it could be put to.
These data would be more informative, were they also paired with vocational costs MDs also incur, usually unavoidably. Malpractice insurance, prep for board exams, for example. Note that the latter can include having to travel to conferences, or similar events, to stay current in the field, and there may not always be an employer to reimburse such costs. Likewise, insurance rates will vary between disciplines, eg. higher for radiology vs psychiatry.

A sincere thank you to Ubuntu from someone who didn't study anything remotely close to IT but is now a software engineer anyway.

I've always been interested in software and computers in general and, besides with the raspberry pi, I think Ubuntu has been the biggest influence on my interest in software and decision to learn programming.

A few months back I looked up my first ever forum post. https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/28824598#2...

Asking why my PC wouldn't boot after 14 year old me stuck some components, including the HDD, in another pc. Turned out you needed something called 'drivers' to run a motherboard.

Shortly after this I ordered my first red Ubuntu live CD that you guys shipped and that was my first experience with Linux.

Anyway, open source projects that allow you to thinker with software and even break it played an important role in my life, and Ubuntu was my doorway to a decade of learning, playing and wonder about software and technology.

Running 1604 LTS now. Sad that you guys are dropping Unity for GNome but still happy with Ubuntu. I'm sure it'll work out.

Thanks, and good luck.
If anything seems like those things would have come sooner, except Germans would have developed nukes first.
As far as performance per $ goes I actually think the gtx 1070 is the sweet spot currently.
Shouldn't this be the case though? Isn't that how the population /wants/ the problem to be fixed? Look at various TV BS court dramas where people behave in a way the population expects them to (versus what actually happens... and no, Phoenix Wright isn't an example since it's interactive).

> But before you fly off the chain, prove your undeniable superiority, and prove that they are wrong, let me suggest instead that you do something crazy, that you do the opposite: that you prove they are right.

I'm a bit uneasy about this. If you spend your time agreeing with a suggestion that your initial reaction is to reject, you probably won't have the patience to go back and question it after the fact. You'll also possibly 'brainwash' yourself into thinking it's a good idea?

I agree that you shouldn't knee-jerk into rejecting an idea, but I believe thinking critically is important. Take the opposite side, but do it civilly. Come up with counter-examples, but phrase them constructively: "have you considered this problem, do you think it's an issue, can you think of a solution?"

The reason there aren't more regional banks is precisely because of all the regulations. I have represented numerous small banks over the last decade. Every single one of them has been sold to larger banks because they cannot compete due to the regulations, which require at least one, and more typically two compliance officers just to deal with the red tape created by the CFPB. These people don't contribute anything to the bottom line. The only way to become profitable is to get big enough that these compliance costs can be spread over more borrowers/account holders.

Open Sourcing Ansible Tower
You could do even better than this if you wanted. Since there are only between 100-200 dom attributes, you can pack that into the opcode itself. Assuming 6 bits for the opcode (64 ops) and 8 bits for the dom attribute (256 attrs), you still have another 18bits to play with in a 32 bit int. If you wanted to allow arbitrary attributes, you could dictionary encode them and then use the full 26 bits for a total of 67M possible attribute names. Alternatively, you can reduce that entire op down to just the opcode by dictionary encoding the operand and packing that in as well. How many programs have more than 262,000 static strings? :)

Compared to the string encoding above we went from 14 chars (1-4 bytes each, we'll just say 2) at 28 bytes to 4 bytes for our 32 bit int.

> For several years, 23andMe has worked on demonstrating that its reports are easy to understand and analytically valid...

I guess these are different reports, but I know a genetic counsellor who describes 23andMe's carrier screening tests as "the bane of their existence". Those reports seem not-so-easy to understand based on the patients she sees.

One problem is that they warn that your offspring are at high risk for some condition, when really "high risk" means 0.5% higher risk than the general population. The other is that they may say you are not a carrier for a certain condition, when they only test for one variant of it, where proper tests will test for multiple variants. They can both scare and soothe irresponsibly.
Ad "LDAP/AD integration":

> This is actually a regular request of Canonical's corporate Ubuntu Desktop customers. We're generally able to meet the needs of our enterprise customers around LDAP and ActiveDirectory authentication. We'll look at what else we can do natively in the distro to improve this.

OK I get the need that some may have to integrate an UI but please don't ship a full-blown Samba/winbindd plus config generator as default.

Here's the why:

Everyone has different LDAP setups. Some use a homegrown LDAP, some use MS AD in varying versions, some use Samba as AD in varying versions - and then everyone uses a different LDAP/AD scheme (e.g. is the username attribute lowercase-able, which attribute is it mapped to, are all PCs/users in a single OU, do you want to restrict logins to specific groups, does the organization need "full" AD setup or will a plain ldap_bind be sufficient ...) and you almost always need to hand-tune the configuration for your specific setup. A GUI configurator will most likely only work OOTB for people sticking with a standard MS AD, and make problems with non-standard setups, multi-domain memberships or similar.

And: Non-enterprise users will most likely not need AD/LDAP support. Those who do should have competent admins anyhow, but what I can certainly say is that the documentation could be updated (e.g. https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Samba_Winbind/ only works for 12.04/14.04). I'd rather like if the documentation were improved than yet another shoddy Samba config generator that's falling out of sync with Samba more sooner than later...

The abundance of VOCs in our indoor environments, especially offices, is one of the more serious public health issues currently. Most offices/people are not aware of the problem and it isn't even measured regularly. Symptoms and issues are hard to link because they can vary from person to person, take a while to develop.
Unfortunately, I think you mean it was "recent enough" we were able to see how awful it was. Which means that if we give it a couple more generations to fade out of (some) living memory, we open up ourselves to another conflict, this time with the ability to eradicate ourselves.

Which then raises the question, had WWII not happened, would we have gotten nuclear weapons when we did? And would the next "awful" conflict have been apocalyptically so.

WWII ultimately jumpstarted so much of the scientific advancements we have made in the last 70 years that it is impossible to say that we would have been able to eradicate ourselves without a modern total war.

IDK. I'm not disagreeing, just thinking aloud. You make an interesting point. And certainly one that is fun to hypothesize about.
Awesome to see our response followed with such attention, not to mention feedback with concrete promises about what (and what not) to expect dealt with.

(And good job finally ditching Mir. You could have kept Unity for all I care. Linux can handle a few dozen DEs. But having more than one display server, now that was just nuts.)

"We found that African American, Latino, and Pacific Islanders were more likely to work in medically underserved areas than were white physicians (adjusted odds ratio, 1.22-2.25; p < .05)." [1]

Though I'm sure bias has a part in the income disparity, I suspect it is less so, relative to other professions, as the fees paid to doctors for each procedure are broadly standardized. Individual doctors' choices of where to practice and what kind of patients to serve may play a larger role. (IMHO, this is a much better justification for affirmative-action programs than other oft-cited justifications.)
