Given the uncertainty regarding whether or not MP3 is truly patent-free at this point, I figured that this is an important story to submit given that Fedora might be a big enough project to get any potential patent claimants to tip their hand.
How to Set the Technical Direction for Your Team
Actually it is 16 floating point operations in one AVX512 instruction and each core has two units, making 32 flops if you are running two or more threads (each core can do 4 way SMT but can also only decode two instructions per cycle).
Isn't proficiency with Microsoft Office still expected in most workplace environments? Google docs, sheets, slides all fall short of the capabilities of their equivalent applications in Office. The Google apps are good enough for many tasks, but really don't cut the mustard if you are accustomed to the depth of capabilities in Office. Are we doing students a disservice by sending them out into the world without proficiency or even familiarity with Office?
As much as I would like to achieve Socialism via democratic reform within the system, various figures (Emma Goldman, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, even Engels himself) have noted that working within the existing system ("bourgeois democracy") would not be sufficient to bring about lasting change, as the system itself is built to serve the interests of capital.

I am wholly against the things you mentioned, of course, which is why it has been the task of current revolutionaries to plan and organise effectively to minimise these things.

"once again"? There's been thousands of reasons why already, this is just one piece of malware in the giant field. These companies don't care, and in many cases it doesn't make sense to care because the device isn't even capable of direct internet access and is just embedded XP.
Yes, I understand. What I meant was that you don't want to be running those kinds of codes on a KNL, because the performance is absolutely terrible. Nevertheless, Intel is producing the KNL, so there's now a market for this kind of thing, which may not have been there 15 years ago.
That's not really achieving much.
I remember reading The Right to Read by Richard Stallman, published in 1997 issue of Communications of the ACM and thinking that it was too pessimistic. Society would never accept that kind of new business model.

Per the article, Foodora-Stockholm doesn't pay for shift time on weekends. But it sounds like Foodora has work around the clock, but UberEats does not.

The question is: Why is Foodora dominating Uber Eats in Stockholm? Is Uber a late entrant? Shunned by restaurants? Shunned by consumers? Too expensive for restaurants or consumers?
"Cheap" is extremely misleading here. The gig economy has known data points where it has worked extremely well for a large number of people working within the rules defined by the companies who created these services. I heavily recommend Brad Stone's The Upstarts[1] as proof of this idea. There are Uber drivers and Airbnb hosts who did all types of incredible things because of the freedom that was a direct consequence of the gig economy. Sure, Uber Eats may be a raw deal, but let's not castigate a huge sweeping idea that has changed the face of humankind probably for the better.

The are also direct trains to Prague, which made for a nice side trip when I needed to go to Leipzig.

They're longer, about 3h I think.
That does not jibe with common usage I hear in the field, despite what Webster says.

For example, young startups frequently outsource CFO functions to someone up the street.

To be truly pedantic, your definition doesn't say remote workers, just foreign, without specifying their region. OP talked about local workers in contrast.

Not only does the definition not say I am wrong (it includes the thing I said) but I was speaking in context of OP's comment (about location)

So you complained about my lack of precision and to do so you lost even more and didn't actually understand the context.

They have terminated their licensing program because there is nothing to license anymore. The patents have run out.
Never mind murder. Murder's pretty uncommon. On the other hand, 1 in 5 American women report having been the victim of either rape or an attempted rape. Even more report some incident of domestic violence so I can assure you that you walk past some pretty awful people every day. You probably work with some of them too.
"Assurances".
Sure. Everyone knows about the embedded line.

However, MS makes it very difficult to acquire and manage those products. Generally speaking, you must buy their embedded products with a motherboard/cpu purchase from an authorized vendor.

MS business strategy basically mandates that a whole class of "single purpose" customers can't / won't buy via the way MS wants to sell it.

If you try to mandate that the mall buy your special (expensive) motherboard/XPe combo you will generally make no sales. Therefore the default becomes that your customers just go buy "whatever computer they can that matches specs" and run that. Hence you wind up with tens of millions of devices that aren't supported anymore.
Oh, very very cool!
Doesn't come with lobbying money, though, so in the end it wouldn't make much of a difference.
It's actually interesting to note that over time I've become increasingly skeptical of ferensics.

My wife works daily in a genetics and neuroscience lab. She said typically one out of three experiments they do, even under the best conditions don't turn out. Given how little forensic DNA is often collected, and how often DNA either becomes contaminated or the experiment/process fails, I often question the validity of tests.

My wife doubts the validity even more than I do lol

Teachers need tools to teach. Books are not exactly better. Texas has had huge influence over the type of books used by US schools. In that case, a Chromebook with Wikipedia is probably preferable.
Duh? If the "professional status" metric was applied equally to both genders, then the club would be 90% men, which is the gender ratio you want for a different kind of sex club.
Show HN: Analytical writing (AWA) peer review platform
Yes this is unfortunately a problem everywhere, and I've seen this situation sometimes in Austin, Texas. In addition to untoward incidents like you mention, there are often homeless people taking the bus in the summers, I beleive simply to get a respite from the heat in the air conditioned buses. And while this might sound incredibly elitist, their stench is so bad I would frequently have to try for another bus.
The article states that calculation of bend radii (of wiring/cabling) was the problem. If that was the case, surely one of the two versions of their design software was calculating incorrectly? If so, one would think that the whole team being on the same version wouldn't have helped (if they were on a version that calculated lengths incorrectly).

But perhaps there's more subtlety to the calculation discrepancy than is evident in the article.
Mars is about 1.5 AUs from the Sun, so light intensity (and solar power) is about (1/1.5)^2 = 44% that of Earth. That doesn't rule out solar power, but it does make alternatives relatively more appealing.

One partial source might be the burning of biomass (e.g. potato leaves and, um, other things).
Hey, I am no fan of uber practices either, they usually are on a grey legal area. But if people do not realize this it is not good for them why the state should help them out. This is not a complex financial product or a dangerous chemical that
most people do not understand. This is Uber pays A, fooodora pays B. If B > A which company are you going to stay with ?

I'll put it the other way around if Uber does not attract enough bikers who is going to deliver their food ? It is basic supply and demand. Is there is a market but no suppliers, prices go up. If there is plenty of suppliers (bikers), prices go down. If the middleman (uber) is too greedy and screws the buyer or the supplier they are going to go with another middleman.
I would think not. For something bad to happen from registering the domain, there would have to be some kind of weird booby-trap in the malware. What's the motivation for a malware author to do that? If they can do something worse, the incentive is to just do it, rather than wait for a security researcher to do something first that they may or may not ever do. It's not impossible, but it's a little ridiculous and wildly unprecedented in the field of malware analysis.

When there's a global infection spreading wildly and crippling essential organizations, you want everyone to act fast, not spend weeks making sure everything is perfect. If you see the malware connecting out to an unregistered domain, you just register it now. Whoever is first gets it, and the attacker could realize their mistake at any time. Even without knowing what this malware does with the connection, odds are 99.9% that the situation is better with the domain controlled by a security researcher than by a malware author. Punishing researchers if something done in good faith turned out badly would incentivize them to overanalyze everything and delay taking any potential beneficial action until it's too late.
I agree. I have no problems at all doing any basic stuff in LibreOffice. I've not done any serious programming in it though (db connect to fields in writer etc.)
"Due to interference, we are no longer able to process unlock requests. Goodbye."

It's probably easier, as you point out, to have the virus delete its keys and wipe itself out. (And has the added benefit of taking some forensic info with it.)

But in a marketing sense, blaming people interfering with your network for the lost data may make you safer, as many victims are likely to prefer you extorting them to the good guys causing data loss by stopping you.

Being a criminal is all about customer service.
Thanks. I was struggling to figure out how this was worse than normal cell calls - as the ability to block numbers is still mind-boggling rare.

That is definitely a problem.
I'd be a fan of Microsoft providing 3 or 5 years of support to business for free, then offering increasing levels of paid support for the next 5 and 10 years. It both preserves the revenue Microsoft depends on to operate, and gives businesses choices to keep operating their legacy systems, albeit at increased cost.

At a certain point, it's cheaper for businesses to rebuild their solutions with the latest tech Microsoft would prefer they are on, so they can re-license, rebuild their solution with modern tech, and start enjoying the benefits that come with free support for a new licensing period.

During the days of Windows XP, XP wasn't designed for a world of Internet threats, I think it would have been difficult for them to continue to support XP in a production environment while preserving compatibility with existing features.

Windows 10 is built for the modern world of threats. Microsoft sells a Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB (Long Term Serving Branch) with guaranteed support for 10 years to address many companies' needs. Everybody has learned from XP, Microsoft has learned that long term support is needed so the innovated their support model, and companies have learned that they can't expect an operating system to exist in a connected world for 15+ years. Hopefully with new support options and more reasonable expectations from business, Microsoft's LTSB support model is going to address everyone's needs.
The Government can hire developers to do it themselves.
Bill Clinton Didn't Want His New York Times Crossword to Be Boring
That's the big difference I'm talking about. Cheap or even free housing is not sufficient, currently hard-to-employ people can't afford to live in Detroit - they also need to eat, so they need jobs that simply aren't there. So the practical result is that such people are forced to move to locations with much more expensive rent so that they'd have any income whatsoever.

UBI would mean that the underemployed people could move to Detroit if they wanted to. That would effect a transfer of money towards Detroit - as money would be taxed elsewhere, flow through these people and get spent in Detroit, spurring economic development.

Widespread remote work could achieve a similar result, having people live and spend in Detroit but earn money elsewhere; but currently it is not widespread and so doesn't make a meaningful impact.
Yes I loved the convenience that the briefcase introduced.
For such a use case, I highly recommend reframing all of your trigonometry problems as vector problems.

a for-profit corporation is subsidizing public education

You think this is altruism? It's getting kids hooked early. Everything Google does is about getting more eyeballs on more ads, never forget that.

LLVM is the godsend that any new architecture (especially a VLIW) to compete with Intel needed. I'm the founder of a startup that has made a new VLIW processor with our toolchain built on top of LLVM... We get the front end and all of the languages it supports virtually for free (we've only had to make small tweaks to clang), and get to focus our effort on just the parts important to us, our actual target backend and the unique optimization steps. Right now we can take any code that compiles through LLVM and run it on a single one of our cores while finding a good chunk of ILP (we are quad issue, averaging close to 2.5 IPC, sometimes higher), and be beating out the performance of some ARM and DSP cores that are 10x the size. Multi core parallelism requires including our hand tuned libraries, but our true MIMD style of task and data level parallelism is a lot more flexible than SIMD/SIMT/SMP that you are stuck with on existing chips.

The Bill to Permanently Fix Health Care for All
You misunderstood me. I agree it is not altruism and that is why I think for-profit corporate entities must be kept out of education. Their values and motives are misaligned.
That's Intel marketing and is somewhere between deceptive and wrong. Intel uses that to claim inflated maximum flops, with the huge aside that you would have to be doing nothing but fused multiply add, which is absurd.

One possibility is from the huge surplus that they collected when they initially sold the software.

It seems to ultimately boil down to software becoming more expensive to sell, especially when it will be used in critical situations.
I teach high school kids as a part time.

I have around 15 students, and afaik all of them use Android. Most of them are 13-14 years old. They have absolutely no understanding of how advertising-based businesses work, a poor knowledge of privacy settings or the workings of data deletion, nor do they have any remotely adult conception of why they should worry about those things.

They share everything. Sometimes they even take pictures of my whiteboard doodles.

Google's objective is in plain sight for everyone to see. Imo, this Chromebook move is not good at all.
That list of 100+ fabs lists just 2 in Russia (in Zelenograd and Voronezh), both operated by Mikron. One was opened in 1959 and operates at >900 nm, and the other operates at >90 nm. (EDIT: as mentioned elsewhere, even this lab was built by Germans with German tech.) For comparison, state-of-the-art facilities are <30 nm, and the US has >60 facilities on that list, which is still much more than Russian on a per capita basis (pop. 321M vs. 144M).

I know nothing about this industry, but looking only at that list it seems very possible to me that Russia is, for all intents and purposes, completely dependent on the global economy for semiconductor fab.
Not sure. Most people won't remember how to derive equations any,nor they need it, if they need to derive equations they could probably use some piece of software(symbolic solver?), and that's just takes time they could use to understand statistics, for example, which seems more useful.
But for most of the people who aren't going to do that, they're useless.

A system that cuts out a whole range of career paths simply because as a kid someone didn't like maths, is a bad one. Kids don't know what they need in life. That's why our culture takes decisions away from them until they are 18.
As someone who's somewhat neutral on the subject, it's amazing how much FUD I've noticed about Wikileaks.
Honest question: assuming all the other technical/economical roadblocks could be solved, how are we supposed to colonize Mars on a long-term basis, as my understanding is that the gravity there will either kill or cause serious health issues for most of the population?

If the low gravity makes peoples' fitness decay over a decade or two, parents can't raise their kids, and in fact kids can't develop either.
Oh great! So there is "Linear Algebra and Its Applications" by Lax. And "Linear Algebra and its Applications" by Lay. At least "its" is capitalized differently. ;-)
Three Tactics for Improving Your Self-Awareness
Because it's the vendors, who are not interested in the first place. See also stock Linux, device tree, it's problems.
Remember that time when VeriSign did this (wildcarding) on a global basis for .com and .net in 2003, briefly causing outrage?

"As of a little while ago (it is around 7:45 PM US Eastern on Mon 15 Sep 2003 as I write this), VeriSign added a wildcard A record to the .COM and .NET TLD DNS zones. The IP address returned is 64.94.110.11, which reverses to sitefinder.verisign.com. What that means in plain English is that most mis-typed domain names that would formerly have resulted in a helpful error message now results in a VeriSign advertising opportunity. For example, if my domain name was 'somecompany.com,' and somebody typed 'soemcompany.com' by mistake, they would get VeriSign's advertising."

So instead of running the code for your interactive tutorial in my very handy cross-platform graphical javascript sandbox I should clone a git repo and run a shell script that starts a binary? That's just asking for it.

With all that being said I do like the concept though. It could work in classrooms where students could just git clone the days lab and get started.
What makes you think that 1/3 gravity has long-term health effects? Even zero-gravity health effects are manageable; they of course lead to temporary fragility when you return to full Earth gravity, but that's not really a key issue for a permanent Mars colony.

Providing radiation shielding in an economical and psychologically benign way seems much more challenging.
The original topic was not on the topic of economics, rather, the monopolies any invention creates. The economics of things have existed alongside everything else in human history. The point was whether Google is a monopoly in the context of information. My contention was to identify the fact that Google only facilitates the information (like what printing press did to the information people were keeping orally, or through scribes).

If Google is the monopoly in the sense that the OP describes, then a unified Internet itself is a bigger monopoly. Break apart the monolith of the Internet itself, and you have more player contending equally in facilitating search etc.
That and the political impact was and is zero.
Having a publicly known thing that also has to be kept private from some people seems like it's the root cause of the problems. It's like having a single shared password to keep an important resource safe.

Outsourcing is the overarching concept to which offshoring and nearshoring belong. Obviously its much cheaper to outsource work to countries where wages are fraction of work rates in developed world. Startups use it agressively to reduce costs.

https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/12/startups-use-gig-econom...

Now we have some economy sectors where offshore locations don't make sense(work is service-oriented & local) and bringing foreign workers is more expensive/legally complicated than a job is worth for the company.

Thats where "gig economy" model comes in: it allows exploiting local workers for much cheaper wages, without bringing foreign labor. The outsourcing part is what work there was(regular food delivery jobs) made into granular contracts and "gigs"/"tasks", which divide the labor into independent segments(e.g. deliveries) where task distributed into local labor pool(as some kind of cloud computing with the humans being servers).
Maybe people could live in large scale Gravitrons.
