This is incredible. Walmart has free two-day shipping on orders over $35 right now, with no membership required, and yet people are still writing articles like this asking, "will it be possible for Walmart to get 2 day shipping within the next couple years?"

Because Amazon's is called Prime and is described as "free shipping". You can tell your friends about it!

"Oh man, have you heard of Prime? You have to get it. It's free shipping on everything!"

Wal-mart's doesn't have a name and is described as "two-day shipping included if your order is over $35."

There's no equivalent quote because I'd probably never mention that to a friend.
Could be it had been sitting down there for years without any incident.

Best i recall, MS was very very insistent with their Win10 "upgrade". To the point that they relabeled the installer patch as critical (aka, reserved for pushing 0-day patches or similar) after people found they could change certain settings to make it go away.

Right, technical cleverness is the lawyer's job. If you get arrested on any serious charges in the US politely tell the police that you need to speak to a lawyer.
>> The key component to profitable 2-day (or 1-hour) delivery is the customer’s proximity to a distribution center.

I think the key word in the original article is "profitable", not just 2-day delivery.
That'd be one way of doing it. You could also just send the cars experimental queries to upload, and still do the leaning centrally.

But I do agree with media bias. The main case was "Injunction". Not a case against Anthony. "Actual case" was Waymo seeking protection for what they claim 121 trade secrets and hence prevent Uber from dong self driving tests.
Specifically on that Judge ruled following

“General approaches dictated by well-known principles of physics, however, are not “secret,” since they consist essentially of general engineering principles that are simply part of the intellectual equipment of technical employees,”
This clearly shows that Judge believed Waymo over-reached when asking for injuction.

Journalists dont find it saucy. So they are just quoting the parts about Anthony downloading files and skipping the above excerpt.

On the CIA point, from the Pakistanis viewpoint it was a foreign government agency using the DNA from the vaccinations to pinpoint a physical attack in their borders. If it had come out that another nation had done that in the US, we'd be clamoring for war. That is a very good reason to be wary of vaccinations at that point
There are 345085 "unprecedented" comments and 13744 "outraged" comments in the first million comments.

Only 127 of those comments use emails that are lowercase. Over 300k of those comments have emails typed in ALL CAPS.

Every single one of those comments are exactly the same (ergo copy pasted). This means there's some form of automation. It's NOT people copy pasting manually however because nobody types their email in all caps. 300k people do not do that.

Websites will normally capitalize the email address, since they are case insensitive, when it's saved into the database. When something is case insensitive, you compare the capitilized version of both.
Eg: Is 'Abc'.toUpperCase() == 'AbC'.toUpperCase().

So this means either:

1. A bot is submitting for other people without their permission, using a hacked database(s).

2. A bot is submitting for other people on the behalf of a very large anti-net neutrality community (which I've never heard of).

3. People are clicking links in an email that presents a form with their data already filled out, which they manually submit (requires a large anti-net neutrality community).

4. There's a form on another website which people are filling out, that is using javascript to capitalize the emails before submitting it to the FCC's website.

The first case is much more likely than the other cases.

What does "dug through a ton of OSINT" mean?

Also can anyone point me to resources on preventing doxing while hosting a website? I want a checklist of things that can possibly leak my identity. For example:

- Some basic stuff is use whoisguard and don't reuse any existing hosting / cloud infrastructure or even google analytics accounts

- But for new accounts, does using real credit card information matter? I am not sure how easily a company will give that information up. For example how hard is it to social engineer or get a court order/subpoena for it?

- Even then you can still be fingerprinted by ip, browser agent, hardware if you ever even log in with the same computer. For example HN certainly knows who my alts are just by checking request logs ip.

- What about sharing similar coding style / code base? Or even just speech/writing patterns? Is NLP sufficiently advanced to fingerprint you by that yet?

Are some of these too paranoid? I really think there's no way to fully prevent doxing for anyone sufficiently motivated. What's actually good enough in practice?

It was Plato not Euclid who's said to have had that sign ("...no one ignorant of geometry..."). I agree that Euclid was a bad influence in this way, though we know so little about his time, maybe he'd have hated that part of his influence. We have a bit more variety from Archimedes: The Method, aka "here's how I really figured that stuff out". It was long lost until pretty recently, and so didn't get to influence anything post-Hellenistic.

Also agreed about the notation. I hope something better evolves out of code.

I have a Windows 10 system that I believe was about 1 year behind in updates. I'd periodically run what solutions I'd find online .. dism.exe, sfc.exe, etc to try to fix whatever was failing. Nothing worked. I stumbled across an awesome forum (sysnative.com) with volunteers that help you track down your issue. Turns out I had a subtle 1 byte registry corruption:

https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/22645-win10v...

Tracking it down required using sysutils' procmon.exe to log about 4GB of event data and correlating it with the CBS.log. It was a broken embedded unicode string registry value with a byte swap from x36 to xFE.

My point -- there are a LOT of posts out there with people with broken windows 10 updates, and I think Microsoft could better address this.
I feel that raspberry pi has another advantage -- it teaches people that not all computing is x86. x86 is always almost associated with proprietary close-source code -- both in BIOS, in SMM and various motherboard peripherals. I personally would be very happy to use simpler devices, but if you want high performance and cheap, then x86 is your only choice.

Using non-x86 devices like Raspberry Pi is the first step in breaking this. Yes, Pi itself has closed-source components, but once the people understand that it is feasible and not hard to run generic server code on ARM/RISC CPUs, the demand will appear, and the market would act and bring cheaper and faster servers to the market. And this is already happening -- for example I think odroids got popular only after Pi has created the demand.

So if you have a choice between x86 and non-x86, chose the latter if you can, to make the world a bit more secure and open.

Last time I traveled to the US was in 2013. The TSA were a bother, but didn't really stand out compared to US immigration checks, airline policies, being contained in an airplane for 12 hours, my country fiscal policies on return, finding taxis to go from airport to destination and everything.

Yes, the TSA thing is aggravated by it being useless, but I don't expect any general population to know this.
It isn't just a theory, it's a practice:
'This "district energy" system works by capturing heat generated at a non-Amazon data center in the neighboring Westin Building and recycling that heat through underground water pipes instead of venting it into the atmosphere. This unique approach is nearly four times more efficient than traditional heating methods and will also enable the Westin Building data center to cut back on the energy it uses to cool its building.' - https://www.amazon.com/p/feature/8sbggvr8fsks7kg
As an anecdote: I had been running a Z80 emulator on my website (http://8bitworkshop.com) and I began to notice persistent 30-second delays on Firefox. It was difficult to track down, but I suspected the Z80 interpreter which had a gigantic switch statement. The optimizer must have been choking on it.

After refactoring each opcode handler into separate functions, it now runs with several subsecond delays on startup (as the various code paths are discovered and optimized, I suppose) and with no delays after a minute or so.

WebAssembly won't have this problem (neither does asm.js, but that's a different story...)
I'll bite on some guesses, not sure which the OP is talking about.

A) Historically, before computing was fast enough, digital synthesizers often had major issues with aliasing (which could be defined as "lower quality", certainly it could be defined as unwanted artifacts. Although conversely some saw the aliasing as a sort of a "character").

IMHO this is no longer as big of a problem with the fast computing power today: techniques like oversampling, BLEP for oscillators, etc. exist to minimize aliasing. There is possibly a few mathematical issues out there for any "real time" oriented calculations due to the quantized nature of sampled audio, but software engineers even are coming up with techniques to deal with some of them (this paper -- https://www.native-instruments.com/fileadmin/ni_media/downlo... -- is well known for going over some solutions for filters for instance).

B) The other possibility: the nice thing (or not so nice thing, depending on your point of view) about subtractive synthesis with pure waveforms, is you are usually starting out with waveforms that are harmonic in nature (like a square wave or sawtooth). With techniques like additive (Razor's technique), digital FM / PM, or the like, it's much easier to get non-harmonic sounds. I wouldn't call this "lower quality", just different.
I think Waymo laywers are very happy with the expedited discovery ruling and the order that Uber must make every effort to compel the return of the 14,000 files.

This might not have been the bombshell ruling against Uber that they were hoping for, but it sets up that bombshell ruling if they can actually find the evidence with this new discovery.

When I transitioned back into programming from the arts, back in the very early 1990s, it was RTFM, Dr. Dobbs Journal, IRC, and picking the brain of every geek and "Computer Guy" that I met ('cept most of those Netware Certified guys, as that generally ended up in a disappointing exchange between a geek and a guy who got paid to maintain a proprietary network using a cookbook, who usually didn't grok much else, and, if they'd heard of linux, they pronounced it (wrongly) as "Lie-nucks".)
How on Earth is a homeless shelter for males by default? Just because it's a shitty place to be you're saying it's for men and that women should have their own shelters where men are not allowed, that are presumably less shitty.

How does this make any sense? It's the sexist "women are weak" argument without any obsfucation. This is the exact reason why there's more shelters for women than men, broken sexist logic like this.
Those claims seem to me very different from -- and compatible with the negation of -- your earlier statement that it's wrong to consider "men" and "white people" dominant groups in society.

Since pretty much any claim about how these things are in the real world is liable to be controversial, here's a toy example to illustrate. Imagine a world in which (1) hundreds of years ago it became, never mind why, very widely believed that men are better and cleverer and harder-working than women, (2) such beliefs are extremely resistant to change regardless of empirical evidence, and (3) as a result of the persistence of that belief, men are consistently given better jobs, paid more, regarded as more trustworthy, etc., etc., etc., than women. But, as in our world, great power and great wealth are rare, and most people whether male or female don't have them.

In that world, the vast majority of men don't have great power or great wealth, and any oppressing that's going on is being done by everyone collectively; but, in that world, men are by any reasonable definition a dominant group: they are greatly overrepresented (relative to their numbers in society as a whole) among the powerful, the rich, the high-status.

So, let's return to geofft's question. Everything in your list could be true without making it false that men and white people are dominant groups in American society. Do you, in addition to holding the positions in your list, further believe that they are not dominant groups?

What would be your estimate for the proportion of men in the following groups in the US: (1) people with an annual income of $250k or more, (2) holders of national-level political office, (3) people with "executive" in their job title, (4) owners of businesses, (5) judges, (6) generals, (7) (full) professors, (8) religious ministers? What about the proportion of white people?

I'll make my prediction: in all those groups, the fraction of both men and white people will be greater than their fraction in the population at large; in several of those groups, much greater. Do you disagree? If so, let's check. If not, why don't you think this makes men and white people "dominant groups"? (Note that "dominant" is not the same as "oppressive".)
I understand the argument, but I think "just take someone internal from IT and go and fix it" is vastly oversimplifying the skills/manpower/time required for doing something like this.

Trivially solvable with an alias used exclusively for such dealings where you don't scrub history. Also, as mentioned, it isn't necessarily that good of a rule anyway. Better than nothing but not necessarily by much.

I value my personal privacy (and time) more than any use my conversations will have for future readers. I don't have the time to selectively edit/delete hundreds of posts. One argument against this would be to "post less" but then many of those "useful posts" may not have ever been made to begin with so there isn't a net difference.

Also - quoting the most relevant bits of a post in your own post helps retain at least some context. Even if you were to edit/remove your post now - I have two pieces of it quoted that a future reader would at least have some context as to our conversation.

Wrong: you are implicitly agreeing to the above 4 behaviors if you willingly use a Microsoft OS. Any time you select a vendor, you implicitly agree to their business practices and the way their product/service works. For MS, that means you consent to it rebooting whenever it wants, advertising to you, spying on you, and interrupting your work to nag you for consent. If you don't agree with these things, then you need to find another vendor.

Exactly!
This is actually an odd case, as it was mainly the result of improper training and different configurations between two planes. In a Boeing plane, autopilot will never disengage without specifically being disengaged. In an Airbus plane, giving a 'harsh' enough input will disengage the autopilot. The pilot here mainly had experience on Boeing, so was not aware of this minor but very important difference.

The Air France flight that crashed into the Ocean by Brazil was also partly the fault of different designs by the two major aircraft manufacturers. In Boeing planes, the input is synced between the pilot and copilot (if one pulls up, the other physically moves as well). In Airbus planes however, the input is merged together instead. If one pilot pulls up, and one is pushing down, nothing really happens.

This ended up partly leading to the crash, as one pilot heard the stall warning and pulled up (causing more speed loss), while the other pilot correctly pushed down. If the inputs were synced, the other pilot likely would have noticed his copilot was making the wrong input.
paulmd already put up a list, so I won't repeat it. Ars Technica sums it up:

> Indeed, Ryzen's 95W TDP looks impressive compared to the 140W TDP of Intel's 6900K, a similar 8C/16T processor based on the Broadwell-E architecture. But in practice, Ryzen pulls just as much wattage from the wall as the 6900K, in some cases slightly more. Considering just how power-hungry Bulldozer was, that remains a significant achievement, even if it means that overclocking headroom isn't as high as some might have hoped.

It likely is. I have read similar stores about having to refurb an aging 386 or 486 running DOS. This because it is being used to operate a very expensive particle sensor, and the company that made it is long gone.

And if you want to replace said sensor you first have to get the funding to do so, and then you have to shut down the lab for a year to run calibrations so that the results from the new sensors can be compared to those of the old one.
The interesting thing about Amazon's horizontal service architecture is that it should be easy to break up if it starts using its monopoly power to charge rents. Given that its market cap seems predicated on future rents, there may be a reckoning.

I don't know how you could ascertain the latter without the former. Especially if you believe, as I do, that healthcare could save lives and the less money means less healthcare.

I'm not against conservative ideas - there have been plenty of conservative healthcare reforms in America (Mitt Romney was very successful and was widely praised when he did it), but it'd be an insult to compare this current bill to attempts like his - again, because I see his attempt as one honestly intended to make his constituents lives better and there's no way I can say the same here. Pretending to care about consequences would require more than an hour debate before reshaping the largest industry in America. In my view I can certainly ascribe intent to someone who malevolently callous in their actions, so I'd reword 'the goal is to kill people' to 'are more than happy to kill people to cut their own taxes.'

Even as a mobile phone software developer, I love my wireless charging docks. No more fiddling with a cable every time I sit down and constantly buying new cables when they get loose. Charging with wireless is as easy as putting your phone down. Battery life is sufficient as long as I charge at home and at work, so I never need a cable except for development.
