10 Best Online Learning Platforms for Young Entrepreneurs Can Master New Skills
Your theory relies on nearly 100% of consumers having a priori knowledge about the quality of the product, sufficient to decide if they want to purchase it or not without having actually tried it yet.

Also, if your theory was true, then why does any product anywhere have a less than near-perfect satisfaction rating? If consumers can have magical knowledge about AirPods, why can't they have the same knowledge about all the other products they purchase?

And finally, the sound quality isn't bad. It's better than earbuds. If you're comparing it to a high-end pair of headphones, sure, it's not going to be as good, but if you're comparing it to products in the same category as AirPods then it holds up pretty well.
Wait, does that mean they use entirely separate models for males and females? Does that in turn imply that they explicitly factor in your gender when deciding whether to send you to prison or not? Isn't that on its face not okay?

That would actually be Ring -3!

"Traditionally", Ring -1 is the Hypervisor your kernel is running in, -2 is code running in SMM (e.g. BIOS USB legacy support code), and -3 is the firmware on your physical system (chipsets, hard drive firmware, etc).

How to Make the Most of Your Marketo Data
I'm sure Google does these days, though when I was there PGO wasn't widely used. But even Chrome only started using PGO late last year (15% speed boost!), and Chrome is one of the most intensively optimised apps out there. So I think it's fair to say that most C++ apps built by mere mortal companies probably still don't use it. But I'd be keen to see data showing I'm wrong. Perhaps MSVC++ or LLVM leaves some trace of PGO behind in the binary, and a Windows/Mac machine with lots of apps installed could be scanned to get an idea (for desktop usage at least).
I'd be careful with assumptions on what "consumer hardware" means. There are desktops, NUC units, etc, that shipped with i5 and i7 chips that had vPro.
This is an interesting point. Companies that try to "hire to greatness" have a steep fee to pay for their hiring approach, and it might not work for reasons that cannot possibly be squashed into, and recognized from, the sloppy "greatness" scalar used to score the possible team members.

As you said, cultivation of expertise is a better approach, and I'm happy that where I currently work fosters this carefully and deliberately.

I think it started right around the same time as "ratings" outweighed "truth" on the metrics media companies cared about...
He probably writes his tweets in a word processor and copies and pastes them into Twitter before sending the tweet.

This appears to be a confirmation code. I don't think it has to be for a bitcoin account. It could be for anything personal or government related. Perhaps they require him to reset his government passwords at a regular interval.

He's probably pasting what he thinks is the tweet he just wrote into Twitter and hitting send before realizing he pasted the confirmation code he copied and pasted earlier. It's most likely timed out and harmless by the time he sends it.
No, it does not. Again: VPro is not in all Xeons (though it is in many of them, and it is in most or all of the current product line), AMT is in only very few Xeons.

If VPro were in all Xeons then each and every Intel based computer in a DC would be affected. And that's clearly not the case. Also, it is not yet clear - at least to me - whether or not VPro is affected at all but if the ME runs AMT then it definitely is affected.
I read an interesting article pointing out that fake news originating on the left spiked dramatically after Trump's election.

GE sets sights on adding women in tech push
Not saying you or the article you linked are wrong, but are the two timestamps the same time zone? (Are they both GMT?) It seems like an obvious thing to check but I don't see the time zone mentioned anywhere, and there do exist pairs of time zones where the ostensibly later bitcoin transaction could have actually come before the tweet.
You don't need $250B for "safety". Apple needs maybe $50B tops. If it has a bad year it's going to slash spending. It's got professional management that know pretty much how much it will make in a quarter and how much it can spend. It also has access to further financing, both debt and equity.

Repatriate the $250M, payoff the $78M in debt, and pay out at least $100M to shareholders. Apple will have over $100M in cash again by the end of the year.

what is good about asyncio, it allows to replace default event loop. I am working on asyncio event loop based on tokio-rs (rust). it could bridge asyncio with code written in rust. so potentially, it should be possible to mix python and rust code on higher level than just simple c-extension.

True, although the lectures from the Brown University version of the course from 2014 are available here:

https://cs.brown.edu/video/channels/coding-matrix-fall-2014/

They're listed in reverse order; start with "Course Introduction--Sept. 3, 2014".
Every Xeon I’ve ever used is in that list, as is every other Intel CPU I’ve ever used.

It’s quite an extensive list, and definitely not "only 2"
That selects for VPro, which is not the same as AMT.

Note that the Intel advisory does not list VPro. If that is the case then tomorrow would be a really good time to buy some AMD stock, there would be very very large numbers of Xeons affected.
Certainly plenty of shaming, though, if you've seen how many Arizonans feel about Hispanics, and heard the rhetoric about immigrants who "refuse to assimilate" (by failing to act, dress, and speak exactly like the locals).
Microsoft gears up to retake the classroom
The argument that JIT having more information and therefore should/could be able to produce better code never really materialized in most the of mainline JITs

Disabling JIT PGO in HotSpot loses you 15-20% performance, so I think it did materialise.

Because Jitting happens at runtime, most jit shy away from complex compiler transformations

I wonder what you classify as complex? Escape analysis driven scalar replacement, PICs, superword optimisations, lock elimination, automatic hardware transactional memory usage all seem very complex to me. HotSpot uses two JITs to trade off speed vs complexity, C1 does a very fast compile with only fast optimisations, C2 will revisit very hot methods and do the extensive optimisation of them.
As an AMD fanboy I'm delighted to hear it but saddened that this isn't going to make a dent against Intel.

AMD has been two steps backward for every step forward for the past decade.
But it could, eventually, theoretically? Ideally if it were good at its job it could point out things that you weren't consciously aware of before and then suggest appropriate courses of action. Advertising may not be the best medium for this, but perhaps another app that analyses your facebook habits/behaviors. Doesnt even need to be facebook specific. I think its worth some research effort.

You can only say that because of the astonishing improvements to MP3 encoding over the past fifteen years. Back in 2003 when Apple opened the iTunes Store, AAC was substantially better than MP3 at all bitrates, most particularly the 128 kbps rate Apple initially used.

In fact the decision would have been made back in 2001 or earlier, given that the original iPod released in 2001 supported AAC decoding.

(The music labels also forced Apple to encrypt everything, therefore there was no incentive to use an open format. Had they used encrypted Vorbis, that would have been seen as a giant middle finger to open source.)

I'm thrilled to hear that Facebook has a new toy for extracting structured data from vast quantities of text.
AMT includes KVM/IP.
Is AI the Future of Food Production?
The 'only 2' are about which Xeons I've found that definitely run AMT. That's something else. Intel isn't helping with their marketing spaghetti, but you're also not helping by suggesting that each and every Xeon is affected.

Though if that is the case Intel has a much more serious problem on its hand for suggesting that only business desktops and a couple of low end servers are affected.
This battery promises to end your charging woes
You can set your state of mind along with your status now, so I guess this isn't really surprising - if that's how they do it (I only skimmed the article.)

I'm with you on this one. I loved everything about mine-- except for the part where they wouldn't stay in my ears, so I returned them.

The worker at the store said he'd seen a fair number of returns citing similar issues. Not sure if he was just trying to make me feel better...

That's an argument for snatching up one of these people per team, but not an entire team of them. The analogy being made I believe is that there's simply no benefit to having two or three quarterbacks on a single football team. It doesn't even make sense.
7 must-dos while using ‘free’ Wi-Fi
It's pretty much standard at large companies to never bother running the installer on the machine (if it even has one and isn't procured without an OS) they bought but instead to use a provisioning tool to re-image the machine before it first gets booted. Think of it as a DRAC card with some fancy tricks in a regular desktop (or laptop) and without occupying much space or a slot.
Italian dialects can be mutually unintelligible too. TV and internal migrations consolidated standard Italian to the point that local dialects are basically dead in some areas (for example Milan) but there are people in smaller cities that are actively bilingual, their dialect and Italian.

My father remembers that they could tell the town of origin of somebody by little variations of accent and vocabulary, over distances of less than 10 km in a well populated and well connected area centered around Milan.
Hypothermia
Yes, but (very unfortunately) it only works with the native iOS Music app.
> However after this exploit a seperate VLAN for AMT just got on the list :)

It should have been that way anyway.
Besides the obvious remarks about people not caring a lot about their privacy and not wanting to pay a cent for a social network the biggest problem is a coordination problem: Facebook satisfied a nearly universal desire for online social interactions and as a consequence gradually all your friends joined the network. That was something new and exciting. Replicating this huge social pull effect once more is incredibly difficult - you'd have to create an entirely new kind of social network.
3D-printed patch can help mend damaged heart tissue
There are client mods that speed up Minecraft significantly. Also, after Notch passed on the torch the new team decided to object-ify all 3D points: previously they were always passed around as three integers, now they are passed around as an object. That placed insane load on the GC and performance got a lot worse after that.

I cringe every time I have to go to a kid's computer and modify "-Xmx" settings

I think if you switch to the G1 collector you can just take it out? Minecraft really shouldn't need that kind of tuning though. Again, they don't really care.
Disclaimer: I have an engineering background.

I think this is a fair characterization of the two approaches.

I am currently taking a class by Strang co-taught with Alan Edelman (MIT/Julia) and Raj Rao (Michigan) that has a strong emphasis on applications and hands-on coding tasks (using Julia).[0] I am also making my way through CtM (thoroughly enjoying) and hope that they will release the video lectures soon as I think the lectures and CtM complement each other quiet nicely.

> I think downloading an illegal copy of something is still illegal though right?

Mostly not! Seeding a torrent however counts as distribution. Using the software is against the EULA on ToS usually though.

It's kind of like how, back in the day, if you bought pirate software from a guy in a market they were the criminal, not you. Copyright law is mostly about infringement which requires distribution.

It's how torrent sites stay (mostly) legal: they don't actually distribute the files (usually).
You can be free and open source and run afoul of software patents. You can infringe on a patent completely by accident. It's not like copyright where you have to prove an intent to copy. The worst thing about patents is that independent discovery is not a defense against infringement.

Running an Index ETF Is Harder Than It Looks
The churn problem with Linux GUI libraries is more of a problem with Linux than Java. I used to use Linux and non-Java apps often had the same issues unless they were directly distributed by KDE or GNOME. For instance Wine tended to suffer badly from random font and library issues caused by distros skewing things in incompatible ways.
Considering how right SemiAccurate was already today, I’m inclined to believe him that vPRO and co are affected.
