> But we can't, and won't stop there to continue to drive down the cost of computing. It is just the end of the road for CMOS lithography.

I mean, is there any reason to believe this is actually true? There's no law that just because something is super useful its price will continue to drop forever. Just check out this chart: https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/import/switchboard/.... The blue line is the inflation-adjusted price of electricity by year. I think it's fair to say that electricity is even more vital to the modern economy than compute power, and that having more of it for cheaper would unquestionably raise the standard of living for everyone. There's also a functional and mostly-free market for its production. And yet its real cost has remained essentially stagnant over the last 40+ years.

Now, there are obviously reasons why Moore's law has been a thing for so long (probably a lot to do with the exponentially increasing number of chips we use and the experience curve http://www.economist.com/node/14298944), but the last 50 years in chips may have been more the exception than the rule.
The best rule of thumb is if someone has transported something you own. You tip a waiter at a restaurant because they brought you your food, but you don't tip at McDonalds because you go up to the counter to get your own food, it's not brought to you. You tip a pizza delivery guy because he brought it to you, but you don't tip if you went and picked it up yourself. You tip a bellhop (or porter) at a hotel if they bring your luggage to your room, but you don't usually tip the doorman. You would tip a valet who parks your car for you. A restaurant is 10%-20% of the bill, a porter is $1-$2 per bag they have to carry. $2 is fine for a valet, $2 every time they bring your car to you. You don't have to tip when they take your car.

There are some places where people tip merely because there is a tip jar available... usually you just dump small change into there (the coins you get back or maybe a dollar). Starbucks comes to mind: there's no reason to tip at Starbucks other than the fact that there is a tip jar sitting out. If you're not used to tipping culture, ignore it. Same thing with ice cream shops or take-out windows. Absolutely no reason for there to be a tip jar there other than they're trying to guilt you into paying more than the advertised price.

There are certain situations where you might tip for extraordinary service rendered. You don't tip a doorman for opening a door, but you can tip if he calls a taxi for you. You don't have to tip at Starbucks, but if you ordered an extraordinarily complicated drink and they got the order right, a tip is called for. I usually tip even at take-out restaurants if I'm picking up an order late at night while they're getting ready to close the restaurant, or if it's a holiday and I feel bad that they're stuck working.

Some people get really mad if you don't tip a waiter. People rarely get mad if you forget to tip anyone else. So if you're confused, just tip your waiter 10% or 20% of the bill if they brought the food to you and forget any other tipping. If someone complains, just say you're European and aren't clear on the rules.
Hmm, idea... suppose you ran tempo/beat detection on some music, and then took its 1D waveform and chopped it up and arranged it in a virtual 2D space, lining up similar sections (e.g. choruses would lie side by side). Could you then gainfully compress the result with a 2D compression algorithm?
Minimum wages are already regulated.
> Surely there's a disinterested party that can read weather reports and make determinations of whether or not particular routes are safe?

Probably. Even then, though, what's the significance of the airline paying? On a practical level, this means they raise prices to account for that risk (and likely a higher estimate to be on the safe side) and consumers are paying anyway.

So the real choice is whether you want to charge the consumers that booked the flight that got cancelled for the cost of the hotel rooms when this happens or all consumers a smaller amount to account for it. Like an insurance policy, basically.

I guess at the end of the day, I understand not wanting people to be stuck in an airport for a while because they have no money in an unfamiliar place, but I also feel like occasional bad weather is a fact of life and legislating more complexity onto the airlines is moving the wrong direction.

> And as a backstop, still give the airline the power to decide on a no-go... even if the "weather service" says it's ok to fly, if the captain doesn't feel comfortable, they can make that call.

This has always existed, as far as I'm aware. You just don't want to put airlines in that position, and it's pushing it to expect captains to overrule that decision when the airline is paying their salary.
I do self-host a few repositories as well, but I do not set up a separate user: I just create a git/ dir in the home dir of the account I want to host the repositories on and put the repositories there.

To simplify the initial setup, I created a handy shell script, reposetup [1]. It makes to create repositories, push to them and remind me their urls.

Europe tends to have public transport and long-distance car hire services that make an outlying airport capable of being used to visit a "nearby" much larger city. In the US, outlying airports are those of third- and fourth-tier cities that don't generate a lot of traffic on their own, and are located distant from points of interest. In the US, a tourist flying to such a place has little options besides renting a personal car.

In the past, I've hypothesized [1] that the sole reason low-cost airlines like RyanAir can even fly to such outlying European airports is because there's significant competition among lesser airports desperate for business and the (supposed) positive knock-on effects that will result. This encourages them to provide subsidies, discounts, or other perks to airlines, because losing commercial air service would be a more severe economic blow.

It's a bit of chicken and egg. Marketshare is small in part because there's not a clear winner (or even two clear major leaders). People don't invest because there's no consensus on which to support. Because there's no consensus, there's no impetus to invest. Because there's no support for these apps that are Windows only or Windows and Mac only, the users aren't there to demand the support.

If a coalition (or cabal if you'd like to phrase it that way) of software vendors formed to select, build, or define a distro for the business desktop it'd become a more viable option.

If it was installed broadly at work, many people in turn would look for it for home use.

Having a single majority OS didn't happen because it was superior. It happened because of network effects.
Those "inference" chips are capable of 16/32 fixed point MADS on par with a current Pascal GPU with better perf/W. So they could be used for training. Just sayin'...

I just went to time.com and picked a random article. Without javascript turned on, I get the date it was published, the word "search" in the top right, a few drop shadow boxes, a black square, a hamburger menu icon and nothing else.

IIRC IANAL: in a self defence situation you are required to use the least amount of force necessary or run away if possible (e.g. someone threatens to stab you in an alley. You may shoot them only if you can't escape. And you may only shoot them if there was no other option). The castle doctrine removes the «try to run away first» part, because it is not reasonable to expect someone to flee thier own home.

Stand-Your-Ground laws remove the «escape first» part outside of the home aswell.

You are always required to only respond with appropriate force. So you may not gun down someone who isn't a threat to your life.

I remember my friend mentioned to me she might have a mutation in the DEC2 gene (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2884988/) because she usually goes to bed around 2 am and wakes up at 6-7 am, and has been doing it throughout her life. And she says she's fine and like you doesn't feel tired if she only gets 4-5 hours of sleep.

Interestingly, if she gets the standard number of hours of rest (say, 7-8), she gets really groggy and it totally disrupts her ability to function throughout the day!
I don't think we need more regulation here. All of this information is discoverable without a huge amount of effort. Third-party aggregators may not make it obvious, but that's their fault, not the airlines'. That the aggregators don't bother showing this info either means they're ignoring an important market segment (in which case, business opportunity for you!) or few people care about this stuff.

Not sure how that would work in this sort of situation but I suppose I can't rule it out...
More straw-man crap trying to pitch the ridiculous idea that hard work doesn't matter at all. OK, sure, you can argue that you're more likely to reach the very highest echelons of society if you are lucky enough to be born rich, etc. But:

a. "more likely" doesn't mean it isn't possible to achieve if you aren't "born right"

and perhaps more to the point:

b. "success" is measured on a continuum; it's not a binary proposition. And there's a lot of room between "Becoming a Supreme Court justice" (just to pick an example) and winding up as a barista at Starbucks. Like, plenty of lawyers who make a nice living for their families, or all the thousands of local district and superior court judges out there, or the hundreds of federal circuit judges who don't quite make it to the very top.

This kind of article is boring and pointless because it's selling a dangerous idea: that nothing you do matters at all, and, ergo, you might as well do nothing. I mean, if hard work doesn't matter, why bother working hard to begin with, right?

As the old saying goes: "It is better to shoot for the stars and miss than aim at the gutter and hit it". Or another take on it: "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

So yeah, tell your kids to dream big and work hard. They'll probably go further than if you tell them "life sucks, you have no chance, so just go ahead and do nothing but play video games and smoke weed all day".

The 787 and A380 are both immense planes compared to 90% of the domestic fleet. You can count the number of domestic routes that can support widebody aircraft (787/777/A33/A350/A380) on one hand. And they are significantly more fuel efficient per passenger mile than a 737/A320 which are in turn quite a bit more fuel efficient per passenger mile than a regional jet (United Express/American Eagle, etc.)

Those daily decisions are usually far removed from their externalities. Yes, people will choose the $5 shirt over the $10, but it's hardly a sign that people in our society endorse the child slave labor that's happening behind the scenes.

There's some truth in that. And there are also various approaches that can probably mitigate the end of CMOS process scaling for a while (special-purpose hardware, photonics, 3D stacking, etc.)

Some of these will cause some pain in other areas like software development.

That said, there's absolutely no guarantee that there's a true CMOS 2.0 on the horizon that will provides anything like the approximately 3500X performance gains we've seen from CMOS process scaling. There are huge macro implications if computing basically stops getting faster/cheaper/smaller from year to year.

I wasn't trying to portray those items as bad. The thing that is bad is when those things are pushed on children. They're the least likely to question things told to them by authority figures such as teachers.

Then again, I probably have a very narrow view of what should be taught to children by educators. Simple facts and techniques, that's all. Otherwise, the classroom is just another battle front that opinionated teachers can use to push their version of politicized topics that haven't been agreed upon completely by the scientific community. E.g. religion, evolution, climate-change, etc.

They're just users. People reading content are just readers. Customers are people who pay for goods. For sites like Facebook and Google Search, the customers are the advertisers. The users are the product that's improved for advertisers. Or others that are scarier who get access to same user profiles/data. Why do you think they're always being more invasive of privacy and showing more ads even if people don't want that? They make more profit off their actual customers by selling them a chance to analyze and manipulate users. That simple.

I think the reason is that they are the easiest group to manipulate, due to their lack of education.

Somehow a lot of folks in rural US believe that:

* Billionaire real estate developer from wealthy family, who grew up in Queens and lives in Manhattan (both are the opposite of rural America), understands their problems and "feels their pain".

* Manufacturing jobs are coming back.

* Coal mines are coming back.

* Having less health care is more freedom.

* There are death panels in ACA (Obamacare).

List goes on and on...

It is easy to manipulate the uneducated people. That is one of the main reasons that a lot of politicians have vested interest in keeping general population uneducated. Educated people will never elect them, their corrupt friends or their spoiled kids (who are gonna run for office soon). That is why they do not want to increase spending on education.

JPEG transforms 2D images into 1D arrays using a "zigzag" ordering of 8x8 blocks. See this diagram on wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#/media/File:JPEG_ZigZag.s...

It's a shame the author didn't do the same transformation, because it would de-correlate a lot of the error noise. You can see in the highest compression settings that the "MP3" image compression is smearing everything horizontally. If it used a zigzag transformation, it would be a more smeared both horizontally and vertically, but probably less visually bad.

I can see your point, though this particular case might not make it very well.

A stronger example of the problem is, I think, some of the text from 4AM documenting their ongoing reverse-engineering efforts, for example: https://ia600509.us.archive.org/6/items/Muppetville4amCrack/...

The 40col text might be "retro", but it also makes lines wrap so soon that my eyes get tired reading it. (And yet—unlike e.g. an RFC file—I can't just plop it into a Markdown parser or what-have-you to get reflowable lines of HTML out, because 1. it's not really in any particular format, and 2. the alternating "prose text", "formatted console interaction", and "formatted ASM listing with long prose comments beside them" sections aren't demarcated or delimited in any particular way.)

When your text becomes sufficiently "simple", it can actually become an accessibility problem.

Apart from the links not working, that's as functional as it gets for conveying text-based information. All the rest is fluff and the bytes to information ratio gets very bad, very fast (e.g. several MB to read a 1000 word CNN.com article).
