I'm female, and absolutely disgusted that most shelters for domestic violence victims or ones that accept children often have a "no males" policy.

The first person I met who was abused by their lover was male... she was female. I've met homeless men that risk getting their children taken away because the appropriate shelter wouldn't accept them. These sorts of things cause a negative stereotype for such places. It doesn't matter that most of the victims tend to be female: I'd rather them be gender-neutral on this front. IT isn't just a female problem.
I wonder why it needs so many pins? It only has 4 DDR channels, which is going to be a bottleneck keeping those cores fed. 8 channels would be more appropriate for 16 cores and it would explain why so many pins.

That interview was a shambles. It's true that in order to protect rights in general you have to defend shady people - however when asked if you agree with FGM/stoning for adultery/homosexuality is evil/etc. your answer should be a point blank, "No". He had valid points at the beginning of the interview but when pressed he doesn't make himself look very good.

>> Remember that even if CAGE organizers are sympathetic to the goals of those they defend, once they've defended them, they're still defending civil rights.

While this is a valid point in general, it is not in this context of showing schedule 7 to be overreaching. If the man in the article works for the CAGE and they actually are known as sympathetic to the goals of terrorists it makes perfect sense to detain him after he returns from a 'work' trip as there are likely valid, evidence based suspicions for it.
Top-end Ryzen chips have a TDP of 95W. (Edit: AM4 socket is rated at >140W TDP.) The new sockets are designed for 180W and up, so they will probably run at the same clock frequencies. That means no hit for single-thread performance.
So did the Whitehouse and the Pentagon.

Cage denounced his extremist views, and at their events he only spoke about imprisonment.

Note that the imprisonment is probably what radicalised him - he was known as a moderate before he was detained.
Politicians also have this symptom. I love to see new regulations coming down from rich privileged mountain which only affect the poor fools they've never met. It would be reasonable to expect that the ruling class spend time in amongst the people they're ruling. I'd go farther to say that the disconnect between the rulers and the ruled has become so large that mere proximity seems to not do the job educationally.

Pay elected officials more to attract better applicants. Use ordered list voting to ease consensus. Implement voting tests (dangerous, but doable.) Should result in better cantidates, chosen through better voting, by better voters.

It depends of the company, its size in particular.

In a big company the manager wanting to hire you might not have the power to overrule the legal department. In a smaller company however you might get hired by the CTO or CEO himself, the contract has been written by a contractor lawyer and if we wants you he'll change the terms.

Pai, Republicans, and ISPs don't want or expect lower prices. They want higher profits. This isn't about wider access. The mission of public, for-profit companies is not to provide a public service -- it's to maximize profits. They're now doing it by engineering their own regulations.
My point is that by connecting your machine to the internet it ceases to be solely a question of "your machine" and "your rights". There are other systems on the network too and you have a certain amount of responsibility to be a good citizen.

(and yes, I am well aware of, and utterly terrified/upset/bamboozled by, the Internet of Things)
That's the underlying problem here. If most people had a reasonable amount of choice in ISPs, the large ISPs would be forced to actually provide value to compete. What we have right now, as far as Internet access goes, is not a free market; it's more along the lines of crony capitalism.

Because we have virtual monopolies/duopolies across most of the United States, customers can't get away from any sort of shady stuff their ISP pulls, meaning we have to regulate it out of existence.

> I've also had tons of problems with Amazon deliveries since they switched to their own logistics company. In comparison, Walmart is looking better and better by the day.

Complain. Call Amazon customer service and let them know what you think. This benefits you in the short term (they'll pay you for your trouble) and the long term (enough complaints, even Amazon will respond).

I had this problem all the time on a Galaxy S4. I don't remember now whether this was a 16GB or 32GB model; either way, it quickly filled up pretty much entirely by system data and apps. Having an external SD card for everything else didn't help much, and I spent over a hear with phone storage hovering barely above 500MB (if you go below, half of the stuff on the phone refuses to work).
You missed the part of their presentation when they show that ~80% of the computers or resources are actually used for administrative purposes - in a regular office environment. No propietary devices involved.

Also - yes, any OS could be used including Windows. However the problem is that if the system is not free (in the FSF sense), the NHS is not in control. This is the real problem, not costs or missing drivers in my opinion.

Of course, nobody thinks that this project will "save" the NHS or influence it in a major way. But it could at least be the start of a discussion. Or am I too naive?

On one hand, as Amazon opens up the pieces that comprise its architecture, they begin to compete for external customers. On the other hand, Amazon itself keeps using its own solutions.

By the way, it’s not just that Amazon prevents its divisions from becoming ‘fat and inefficient’ by opening them up to external competition. Crucially, thanks to commoditising early and getting tons of companies to use its platform, Amazon can now see how others innovate on top of it (having low-level access to consumption information) and quickly follow on anything new, basically innovating but without risky R&D of their own[0].

True, I was a little unfair on you :)

Still, I see the software you're using as much a part of the problem as Windows here. Needing weeks of solid up-time to complete something is a challenge and doesn't seem like a realistic assumption by a developer for software running on Windows.

Why can't it remember progress and resume after a restart? That would not only make the impact of Windows Updates much smaller, but also power outages and the like.

Ask HN: Any gotchas with running OpenVPN+pi-hole for the general public?
I recently setup OpenVPN+Pi-hole on a Linode box and have been happy with the browsing experience so far. I was thinking of inviting friends to use my setup - maybe charge them a little bit of change to help pay for the Linode. And this works well, maybe scale to the general public.

Any downsides to running a VPN server for the general public? My concerns are around legal and logging requirements.

Google's Primer app is I think a good example of interactive learning. The approach isn't much different to other virtual courses, but the way the information is organized into bookmarkable cards is nice.

It could form the basis of the entire site, a Tinder style swipe-until-you-find-the-course-you-want initial discovery flow followed by a course flow structured into cards.

You could even go further and structure each course like an adventure game. Make choices and if you answer incorrectly you discover at the end by getting a poor conclusion.

Making learning into a game would introduce positive reinforcement as well, it could make learning addictive (in the best sense of the word).

Socialise the platform by allowing users to bookmark courses and have their selections browseable by other members, Tinder style again, swiping through a user's favourites.
Yeah if they wanted the comments to be reliable they would have spent 5 minutes to add a CAPTCHA. This way they get to easily ignore the public comment.
The larger point is that companies that 'synergise' divisions see initial efficiencies. However, over time, without external forces, those efficiencies atrophy.

By having two customers for a service, at least one of those external to the organisation, competitiveness is kept in focus.

I believe camillomiller is very much not looking at the issue from Apple's business perspective. I think camillomiller is trying to explain why sales are slow, but without using the narrative that tablets, as a market, are a miss. And I agree. I use my iPad every day. I bought one in 2012, upgraded in 2015, but I don't see a need to upgrade yet. My parents bought two in 2010, use them every day, and didn't upgrade until 2016. Whether or not tablets meet businesses sales expectations I can't speak on. But, anecdotally, I feel tablets are something people like using, and are here to stay.

Penrose says the same in "Emperor's New Mind" - that you can skip the equations. Perhaps you can but IMO you'd miss an awful lot, I found it too difficult to just jump over the equations until I'd studied enough to have met the Schrodinger equation and from then one can pretty much grasp all the physics/maths.

Perhaps he does better at keeping the flow going in "Road to Reality" for those trying to read without deeper knowledge?
This is a great example of a challenge that every business faces - if the customer doesn't know about your product then it doesn't matter how good it is. You can't sell to someone if you've failed to communicate your product to them in a way that they understand. In this case Walmart has a product (2 day delivery) that customers don't know about, which means Walmart completely fail to compete with Amazon for customers who want that service.

If you can't communicate your product well enough to the customer then the product effectively doesn't exist as far as that customer is concerned. This is why sales and marketing are really important to a startup.
it SUCKED. You really had to rtfm (and hope that the fm was good) or depend on google to find the right topic on a given forum (dreamincode, for ex) and hope that that topic didn't devolve into a shouting match over something that had NOTHING to do with your search query. it took much longer to get anything done.

The article claims the Intel Atom 230/330 CPU is vastly superior to the Raspberry Pi CPU, then says "look at these benchmarks" and links to a page last updated in August 2013. I would like to know how the single core Atom compares to recent versions of the Pi that have a quad core.
It's interesting to me how two of the biggest innovators today, Bezos and Musk, have done so while defying conventional wisdom.

Conventional wisdom is to focus on your company's core product, don't overreach. Amazon is succeeding by focusing on everything.

Conventional wisdom is that growth in technology is in cloud technologies. Musk is succeeding by focusing on meatspace infrastructure.
But there isn't good alternative for client operating system. The best you can do use devops tools, but you can tell they're really built for server deployments.
Uber definitely competes on price. Their fares are almost always the lowest of any competitor, especially compared to traditional cabs. That's essentially their only strategy other than allowing mobile hailing & payment (which is not particularly hard to replicate). The reason Uber is blowing through so much venture capital is because they are bleeding cash in all directions on fare subsidies.

> It's more that the analog model evolved from how our ears perceive things while newer paradigms while mathematically neat often lead to unwanted artifacts,

There are basically two approaches to designing sounds: you either model perception of audio or you model the physics that produces audio. Analog (subtractive, additive, FM) synthesis is basically entirely in the first camp. Digital is strictly more flexible so you have more options, like Karplus Strong, which gives you a simplified model of a plucked string.

The most "mathematically neat" synthesis techniques are still the old analog models: you start with a simple mathematical function like a sawtooth wave and put it through a four-pole filter. Or you stack a few different overtones on top of a fundamental. It's hard to get more simple/neat in terms of the math. The digital synths can be fairly complicated, mathematically, when they're not emulating analog synths.

I don't know what you're talking about when you say that advanced digital techniques sound somehow lower quality.
Things like impulse responses are everywhere, like reverb, guitar amp sims, and distortion plugins. They sound better than ever.

> or boil down to much the same sort of thing as before e.g. NI Razor.

Wait, what? I own a copy of NI Razor and I don't see how it boils down to the "same sort of thing as before". Sure, it's an additive synth, and that has existed before, but it's not really a rehash of something I'd seen before, it has controls which simply don't exist in other synthesizers.
NOBUS is basically a doctrine of assuming that no one else will find and use these exploits, so they can be maintained as strict-offense.

"The only place I can imagine Go-based software being useful, is for code you've built yourself, for use in a always rolling forward cloud-environment you maintain yourself, where updating dependencies and rebuilding is part of the day to day operations."

Which is, you will notice, the core of where Go comes from.

Also, you may notice that "server" software is generally moving in this direction very quickly. "Containers" are basically static linking writ large. We're still early in the curve on this but I expect in the next few years we're going to see more people start pointing out that dynamic linking is basically obsolete nowadays (the first few brave souls have already started mumbling it), and even the only putative reason that people keep citing for it being a good idea, the ability to deploy security updates (but not ones that require ABI changes), is fading fast and was less important than people made it out to be anyhow. First, lots of people still basically don't do those updates. Second, even if you deploy the updates you still have to take the service down to restart it. Third, by the time you've instantiated the architecture that lets you manage your dynamic library updates at scale you've also instantiated the architecture you will need to simply rebuild your static-everything containers and redeploy them.

In another ten years I expect it to be simply common knowledge that if you can't completely rebuild and redeploy everything easily for a fix, you're not really operating at a professional level.
How will you detect abuse by your users?

How would releasing a refined instrument like you describe work with a device which connects to the internet?

A high quality Moog synthesizer has a barrage of technical capabilities and is engineered and manufactured to the highest standards and tightest tolerances. The same can be said for a Macbook Pro.

The difference between them is that we expect the Macbook Pro to evolve over time. We expect it to connect to an ever-evolving network of other computers, where new threats and opportunities arise every day.

If you take that Macbook Pro and never connect it to the internet, I suspect you'd still have a wonderfully working machine in 10-20 years. If an issue comes up it would almost certainly be the SSD - which, since it's soldered in, can't be replaced.

Take my favorite Macbook though, the 2010 Pro - with its user-replaceable RAM, disk drive, and available optical drive. If I take care of it there's no reason I won't be able to get it to boot in 10-20 years.

Not saying the contrary, just disagreeing with the "old iPads haven't been deprecated" opinion.
iOS 9 was released in 2015, so 4 years after the iPad 2 release.

I'd expect a $600 device to last a bit longer than that, and I'm sure the biggest IT firm in the world could easily create custom builds for their older devices: optimise font-rendering, properly convert assets to low-res versions, and disable (or degrade) the animations and transparency. If the internal OS architecture is sensible, these 3 adaptations shouldn't be that much work and shouldn't cause any bugs.
I think you're right, but at the current rate of progress it's going to take a while to get there.

We're currently in the modern equivalent of the mid-90s DOS plateau, where an experience that's actually quite mediocre has become the default user expectation.

Getting past this requires an order of magnitude increase in processor power. Given what's happening in hardware that seems unlikely any time soon.

It's more likely tablets will gradually catch up and merge with desktops - but there won't be any dramatic change in the UX offered by either. That needs speed and UI technologies that are at least a generation away.

The new UX will come from voice, AI, and robotics, which will make computing more physically interactive, and less tied to the glass typewriter/document library model.
This question is what's at bottom of this entire discussion. I'm guessing you think socialization is the overriding factor. Others attribute the majority of the differences to nature.
