In that case I'd prefer to start a company in Poland. Much lower taxes, cost of infrastructure, legal, labour, capital requirement for LTD (25000 EUR vs 1200 EUR).
I think the very asking, and responding, to this question is dangerous. We should not entertain the possibility because the mere presence of the idea in the public consciousness is to his benefit.
Woah, woah, my comment never said that people who prefer macOS to Linux/*BSD are inferior hackers. I think I was clear that I was differentiating between the software that I run and the software that a creative professional is required to run. That is, I have a choice where to run my dev stacks, while a graphic designer is probably a captive Adobe CS user.

And yes, that's exactly what I meant by "qualitative experience." I was actively calling out that the opinion voiced in my comment was, like, my opinion man.

I've got a Lenovo T530 and a Lenovo T450s. I wonder if they've released a firmware update yet...?

I can't say I'm surprised, but I am surprised at the fact that finally, after all these years, someone finally got down to patching some vulnerabilities in this area.

The article implies that they have been privately trying to get Intel to fix it, so there is no reason it would have been mentioned publicly anywhere.

Now a patch is coming out but Intel is still trying to keep it quiet, so he's trying to warn people disable AMT and be ready to apply patches ASAP.

Presumably he didn't even want to disclose the existence of the vulnerability publicly until there was some sort of fix, and he still won't want to disclose details before the fix is released.

Of course, you can doubt the veracity of this story, but I'm just pointing out that there would be no reason to expect details, cross references, or mentions on Google or security lists yet if it is true.

It works when you send electrons one at a time, suggesting they are somehow interfering with themselves. In other words, the electrons are in both slits at once until we check. That might not literally be true, but it's not possible to explain the interference by saying we just don't know which slit they're going through.
Do you feel that Google Maps imagery is similarly unethical?
I became active on Yelp after a new Cafe opened in my town. I loved it so much I just had to go home and write a good review. I did so, and it was embargoed. A user with one 5-star review is usually not taken into account.

After I had written more like 5 or 6 reviews, all my reviews started to count.

Remember how viral those recordings of Comcast shenanigans went? If she keeps getting those calls from Yelp, record one and be the one that finally turns the tide.
Its fascinating to see problems in other states. Locally (thousands of miles from CA) the "new urbanists" have a stealth strategy for discouraging car use which is to write ridiculous handicapped requirements into zoning laws. So new stores have to have 20 to 30 handicapped spots to discourage car use by the 99% unhandicapped customers. So no matter how big your parking lot is, and how packed it is with customers, roughly 20% of spots will always be empty. Its an interesting strategy for banning cars, they're not technically banning cars from parking, its just parking now requires a handicap tag. It has the pleasant side effect that even at major sporting events I've never actually seen a parking lot with all handicapped spots filled, which must be very convenient for handicapped people.

There are other problems. I used to work with a guy in a wheelchair and life for those people is hell, at least once a week when his non-handicapped brother picked him up in the lift van after work, some do-gooder would scream at his brother for being evil enough to park in a handicapped spot, he would even get blocked in until the cops arrive, do-gooders just make life for everyone awful.
I wonder why big companies like IBM don't just acquire large private universities and offer a traditional 4 year co-op experience.

They could subsidize education and 'guarantee' a job at IBM upon graduation. And shift the curriculum as needed for the company, provided they give a typical core education that you would find at any typical 4 yr college.

Heck if they get a D1 football school they can pump a bunch of money into it and leverage the exposure for advertising.
Yep. Same reason the cheering crowd at SpaceX was much smaller than a usual launch - only folks with clearance allowed in.
Zuckerberg 2020 would mean four more years of Donald Trump.

"You have no choice but to vote for me" was essentially the unspoken message of the Clinton campaign. After four years of Trump, that will be the message for anybody running against him. A lot of people distrust him for more right reasons than I could count.

Mark, if you are reading this, don't hold this nation hostage to feed your ego. We want a qualified public servant, not an endless cascade of billionaires who think they know better than the people whose lives are public policy, not selling private information for a buck.

> Try roaming whilst one of those HTTP transactions is in progress

That specific connection silently fails, then the app silently retries, and succeeds - from the end user's perspective, they've switched IP addresses and the webapp still works fine.
To be blunt, they're total bullshit. Which is why you never see any evidence, outside of vague hearsay from someone's uncle.

Yelp has a small army of people cold-calling every business in the country to sell ads. Simultaneously and independently, they have a system that filters out bad reviews, all day, every day. Just by chance, someone is going to get called soon after reviews have been filtered. This leads, inevitably, to third-hand stories of someone's Uncle Walter who got called right before/after some reviews were removed.
I found the company name from that user's Reddit history. Here's the link to the Yelp page https://www.yelp.com/biz/full-channel-warren-5?sort_by=date_...

They currently have a total of 14 reviews. Only 4 out of the 14 were "out of state" and one of them was 5-star, so the accusation seems overblown.
It's so easy to criticize Harvard Business School (HBS). Outsiders -- and insiders -- have been doing it for decades now, this book being the latest example. The Web is littered with accounts of spoiled Harvard MBAs full of hot air who have done stupid things.

Yet the school somehow continues to churn out an impressive number of people who rise to the top in extremely competitive fields, from Michael Bloomberg to Ray Dalio to Mitt Romney to Sheryl Sandberg, to name just a few.[1]

How does THAT happen?

My take is that over time HBS has evolved a process for identifying and attracting a disproportionate number of people with that kind of potential. Speaking from personal experience, I know and/or interact regularly with a good number of HBS grads. While some of them are indeed full of hot air, a surprising number are truly impressive individuals who are not only thoughtful and likable, but also capable of "running through walls" to achieve their goals.

The point is that the USA is not the shining beacon of moral authority that it, and its peoples, claim it to be - and before we go off launching yet another military-industrial misadventure to 'solve' the problems of the world, we might ought to use some of those resources locally, at home, in our own - free, so far - societies, in order to improve the lives of our fellow humans.

It makes not one iota of difference if the human lives we improve are in Kaesong, North Korean, or Jackson, Indiana. Does it? Then, start at home: get rid of the NSA. Close Guantanomo. Cancel privatized prison systems that incarcerate more prisoners in the world than any other nation.
Probably a part of the issue is that how zipcodes are defined is not actually publicly accessible information. You can pay private companies for it, sure.
I think that's exactly it. People need to be adaptable and it's not about teaching any one particular skillset, but moreso how to become a lifelong learner. The era of doing a couple of repeated tasks over and over again is gone, it is a new day where people do not need to perform menial jobs and can be freed for more creative/mindful pursuits. In the short-term this is going to have negative effects of people being displaced, discouraged and lacking purpose. As with a lot of complex problems I think this may be a generational shift in thinking.

I'm an anarchist, which is usually a non-starter for many conversations, so I sympathize with being a Communist and having that distract from your message.

The reason I mentioned this bias was because the statements you were making appeared to be standard talking points of somebody who has already drawn a conclusion. I celebrate differences in opinion for political philosophy and didn't mean to imply that your stance meant anything bad.

> Workers working for themselves, receiving the product of their own labour, without engaging in the tedious exchange of commodities for money. Democratic decision as to how excess product is allocated and whom it is given to.

There is nothing to stop this right now. In fact, co-ops are becoming more regular, and bartering has been enabled by online systems. The US government allows people to buy products using Bitcoin, create worker-owned shops, and freely barter goods. Central planning means you can only do one of those three, and historically it has been done poorly.

>I don't think we should be saying this as fact; it's useful to remember that central planning does not only come in the form of fixed five-year plans, nor is central planning necessary to rid ourselves of wage labour.

I hate to state this as a matter of fact, but I think it is. Government cannot foresee the needs of the people beyond perhaps making sure everybody has a ration of energy or food or something like that. Central planning is just far too complicated and harsh. I think your only hope for a more communistic society is through technological innovation that drives the prices of goods so low that profit simply cannot be made.

The momentum I've seen hasn't been MySQL -> Postgres but rather MySQL -> MariaDB.

Oracle's control over MySQL and the shift towards Open Core over FOSS fundamentals has pushed some companies to use the compatible MariaDB option over it. Most Linux distros use MariaDB by default now, meaning more LAMP stacks by default having MariaDB over Oracle's MySQL.

I'm certainly not saying MariaDB is taking over MySQL, just the trend I've seen being a RHEL Sys Admin.

If you wage war on foreign nations, and allow your government to do so, then you shouldn't be so surprised when it comes back to roost. No, the WTC attacks were not justified. But they were definitely to be expected, given the carnage around the world that the USA has been propagating now, for 80 years. When your nation maintains its moral authority to indiscriminately wage war around the world, you should not be surprised when that war comes to your footstep.
> With a computational approach, we can go “top down”, starting with libraries that implement the most important algorithms, like Fast Fourier Transform. Students can use the algorithms first and learn how they work later.

This is exactly how I understood it. Three years back, WebAudio API was a new addition in browsers and I decided I should make something with it. I settled on building a Whistle Detector using a cited research paper as my basis. I barely understood anything in that paper and had to dig into DSP, FFT and other basics to get around. As I had no external help, I struggled plenty but managed to complete it after two weeks [1].

Funny enough, we had a DSP course which never made sense to me. Two weeks into my puzzle I walked away with more useful knowledge than the course ever did. What has always motivated me to learn is the application. I can work tirelessly if there is an interesting thing to build, even if I have to go through mundane theory. But, I find it utterly tedious to learn theory with no immediate goal in mind.

Why would those embargoed reviews start to count after she paid Yelp? That is what the Yelp salesperson is implying. Embargoed reviews shouldn't suddenly have more legitimacy due to her buying ads on the site. Something is shady here.
I think one of the problems is that most people (who live in liberal-as-in-Locke societies) want the world to work on their terms, which includes rationality-as-they've-constructed-it. So most people want things to be "logical," or think people should respect "logic," while missing the points that logic must be grounded on premises that are taken to be true-in-themselves, that deduction can only be done after the fact to justify one's instincts, and that most statements can't really be posed formally anyway. It's better to think about rationality as a certain kind of intuition, where some things trip the bullshit alarm and prompt closer inspection.

I say this to answer the question, why don't philosophers and psychologists come up with good ways of convincing people of things? I think it's because they're blinded by their paradigms---as are we all.

As for how to change people's minds, I find that it only works if people are already unsettled about what they believe. How can you unsettle people? That's more of a skill that has to be discovered, and I'm not the best at it myself, but the answer probably revolves around really deeply exploring the other person's beleifs with them. Not trying to argue they're wrong, but just trying to figure out what their beliefs might look like if carried through. If you can manage to decohere their worldview, you'll probably get somewhere.

> Not that I can do anything about it, my conclusion over nearly 4 decades is that we have failed to take advantage of the increasingly denser silicon to make higher level machines, in particular machines that recognise the difference an instruction and a data element.

That's basically the CISC concept (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_instruction_set_comput...) all over again. The problem still being: which instructions do you choose to implement in hardware and how do you make a compiler smart enough to recognize when to use them? Remember, CISC went out of style because all of those high level instruction weren't being used when processor manufacturers generated statistics on commonly used software.
The funny reality is that every mid-sized company has openings for tech related roles.

Relaxing allowed uses might help in a few places, but probably not. The reason obsolescent retail sites sit abandoned is mostly that they are obsolescent retail sites, not restrictive regulations.

The market incentives of real-estate are to develop parcels to their highest and best use. Retail is one of the highest and best uses. The economics mean that a 20% chance of putting a thriving retail use on a retail site in the next 15 years has a better upside than a 60% chance of putting housing on the site in the next eight years. And eight years is relatively quick from the back of napkin to money in the bank for a substantial real-estate development and twenty years is not atypical.

Land development regulations are a hurdle in real-estate development but not usually the determining factor. The cash to purchase a suitable site, build it out, and market it is more significant. Avoiding the down-trough of real-estate cycles and the peaks of construction demand and bubbles in the market sector are probably the most important thing...bad luck is ordinary not a black swan.

I'd put it another way, if regulation was the barrier to repurposing obsolescent retail, the real-estate professionals would head down to their local planning department with pitches for beneficial new uses and local cable broadcasts of planning commission and city council meetings would be filled with contention over obstructionist regulations preventing down zonings.

> Oils from the keyboard are regularly transferred to the screen every time you close your macbook

This is false. If the keyboard continuously touches the screen, it will get damaged eventually. If this happens to your MBP all the time, you should think about handling your MBP differently and protect the lid from outside pressure.
