I wish they had something like this for windows. I would chip in to get it developed.

However, youtube has recently changed something and I am now seeing ads in front of videos - and I have not found a fix yet.

Going to give this a shot today...

It needs a lot of pins because it's an I/O monster. The socket is going to support their high end server chips with 8 memory channels. Plus, all of their high end line supports 128 pcie lanes, and will have on board an unknown number of usb, sata, and networking lanes. All that adds up to needing a very large socket.
Who Is Publishing NSA and CIA Secrets, and Why
On a side note, a lot of local retail stores still don't take their online presence seriously. For example, displaying things on their webpage which are not in store. However, given how out of touch the retail industry is with the tech world, this is not surprising.
Be careful of how you approach other religions: peaceful Christianist pressure groups don't get the same treatment.
There are definitely some consumer PC's today that will last 10+ years. Every time a new CPU line comes out the benchmarks aren't vastly different from Intel 2500K/2600K. It seems like Ryzen will be a similar "BIFL" processor.
I'm not sure I'm the age of your parents, but even as an over-50 tech nerd, I am quite happy with my iPad 1. I use it as a reader, an alarm clock, and a terminal emulator on a daily basis. The battery still keeps its charge and it is one of the most solid pieces of tech that I have ever purchased.

Students always come into my office and wonder why I don't have "a good computer" or why "everything is so old" (which admittedly the Apple //e is), but if the only software you need to run is a terminal and a browser, then upgrading your hardware becomes a lot less critical.
I have a script that logs into my bank's web interface, and extracts my current balance. I subtract out my upcoming bills/savings transactions to tell me how much money I can spend until my next paycheck. My next step is to have it email the amount spendable every morning.

I'm using python 3, selenium, and SQLAlchemy connected to a home MySQL server.
Historically, I think the answer is just that the NSA doesn't even try.

There are some three-letter agencies that do work on fighting malware, often by partnering with relevant companies like Microsoft (who was a major anti-malware player here too). I know the FBI does so publicly, and some government groups invite large companies to low-secrecy briefings on security.

But I've never heard a mention of the NSA 'fighting' malware that isn't obviously governmental. Even if they knew about the exploit, used the exploit instead of disclosing it, and are well-placed to fight it, I think that's just filed under 'not my department'.
Not having a clue for having been irrelevant for too long and scrambling to not miss the next big thing before becoming obsolete.
Seems they thought computers were about to turn into tablets and touch devices overnight (others went the same way such as ubuntu), then they tried to catch on this user tracking to display ads thing while becoming a rolling release.
voila! you have now windows 10.
Happy to answer questions. All the code is on GitHub (https://github.com/tmm/notational).
The i9 isn't new. Its a rebranded Skylake-X/KabyLake-X chip. This has been on their roadmap for over a year [1]; they just changed the name to trick consumers into thinking its something new.

The hype between here and reddit about i9 is astounding to me. You've been able to get an i7 in a 10 core variant for a year now [2]. Need 6 cores? Take a time machine back to Q3'11 and pick up an i7 3930k [3]. And if you needed twelve cores, you could buy Xeon [4]! Heck, go crazy, get 22 [5]!

The only difference is likely price; hopefully the i9 is cheaper.

Fundamentally, why you should not be excited about these things: They'll use the enthusiast motherboard socket/chipset, not the consumer socket. And they'll have a 140W TDP, whereas Ryzen has 95W max. These two things are what makes Ryzen so amazing. If you ignore these two things, then you might as well by Xeon; Intel has lead in that category for years and continues to.

Docker for mac has absolutely dreadful filesystem performance for mounted volumes (Docker toolbox with the extra virtualbox indirection actually ends up being faster if you're doing filesystem reads even remotely frequently). If you need to work with 100GB on disk you're going to have a lot of problems.

and of course that was the only hit on Google for your error message.
The question is who will complain.

With purely internal processes: Your time sheet software is probably terrible, but have you ever mentioned it to the people writing it?

On the other hand customers will have a very loud voice if the delivery is to late, and you have process setup to listen to them.
They own the process knowledge to operate a Taxi company in 80 countries. Atleast what I have see in India they are beating OLA another competitor like Lyft.
I've been using 5+ year old kit at home for a long time. In fact my main PC is about 10 years old right now.

I buy from the local college surplus when they life-cycle their desktops. For what I do at home (browsing, email, youtube, ssh for work) they are more than adequate.
It can be a little tricky, but if you know what the adapter is rated to handle it usually isn't too tough to find one that works. About 5 years ago I ordered some 4-port 2.1A Monoprice PoS adapters for a few bucks a piece. I routinely use these for my RPis, but with only one RPi plugged in (add any second device and the thing will start flaking).
Digging through information and finding out this sort of stuff is literally what hackers do for a living

There is a pretty long history of worms proving way more aggressive (either in damage or spread) than intended. I wouldn't be shocked if a slow-and-profitable infection went wrong and set off a crisis response.
> The truth is that each of these is feasible for a large competitor to replicate and it’s reasonable to think that Walmart could build or acquire these capabilities within the next few years.

This sounds like the way we talk about other nations developing nuclear weapons.
Derek Jeter on why he started the Players’ Tribune
Interesting.

I only tested on an iPhone, since I made the unfortunate decision of buying a 16 GB iPad, so if I turn on iCloud Photos it effectively stops working because it fills up its internal storage (despite being "optimized").

I'm surprised something works on the iPhone but not the iPad. Are you syncing via USB or iCloud?
I spent a couple years figuring out a certain problem. When I was done, it took me six months to be able to write up a blog series about it. I don't think autism has anything to do with it. Some problems are really hard to communicate.
Maybe they are confirming to leading questions.
Ignore Cloudera: tech acquisitions aren't about price, they're about fit
As with the other response to your comment: there will always be some on the right that claim this. The truth tends to lie in examining the details and actions of people, rather than asssuming that an organisation standing up for the rights of muslims is necessarily going to be a terrorism-supporting organisation. I don't know in this case, but we give a lot more leeway to extreme churches, for example.
"The organizations for helping the helpless should be charities, churches, and since we can't depend on these (and many have ulterior motives), indeed mostly government itself."

Your cynicism is nearly, but not quite, complete. Government has ulterior motives too. Most simply of the "buying votes" form; anyone dependent on the government isn't going to vote for less of it. But there are more subtle forms of it too.

There is almost nobody who is altruistic, but can pass a "no other motives except pure altruism" test. If you think you can name someone, I'm sure someone else will be sure to pop up and explain their ignoble motives.
I guess Uber loses money on each sale but makes it up on volume? :)

"At most"? Do you believe that collecting others' taxes and keeping them for your own profit is somehow better than tax dodging?

As someone who has written their Senators and Congressperson about it and gotten responses about the issue, it is sadly partisan. The Republican Congress stands behind Ajit's stance on anti-net neutrality.
which country? Do you have an idea why?
show me one paper that you cant understand because of the grammar but would be perfectly fine reading it if only the lyrical style was a bit more up your alley.
To add some additional perspective: many of us know how to add some basic level of security to our personal networks. Certainly not NSA-proof, but enough to about being owned by your average script-kiddie or wide-spectrum hacker.

So in reality we do have more concern about Microsoft's update channel, which has a trusted, straight-shot channel directly into the core of our system than we do random Joe hacker who had to bypass our NAT, find a zero-day, etc.

From a secure point of view, Windows update operates within the secure zone with root privileges. Of course that's more concerning if you don't trust it that an external hacker.

Ok, but they do, so this is a good thing. It's like you're saying that the signing of a peace treaty is a bad thing because we shouldn't have wars in the first place.
If the vulnerability had come from Google Project Zero, the same worm could have been created. The only difference is a lower barrier to entry, but with enough malware authors out there, even GPZ's descriptions are enough to cause vulnerabilities to turn into exploits in the wild. Why does the discoverer of a vulnerability matter if the vulnerability was patched before it was publicly announced?
I think you can't after the anniversary update
It's a social expectation. You can expect not to get great service at a restaurant or even have the staff ask if there was a problem if you didn't leave a tip.

I don't like it, but it is what it is.
I don't think it would move the needle in that regard. Dell, Apple, and other large makers would never buy a CPU that isn't going to work with Netflix and other streaming services for anything other than servers and servers is the one case where ME and AMT can make sense.
Anecdata: Before I deleted Uber, I had two bad interactions with drivers (including one who threatened violence in response to I have no idea what, some misunderstanding). Since only using Lyft: zero.

That also stand in contrast to exactly one two experiences with cabbies over ~25 years.

I conclude, based on my limited personal experience, that vetting drivers makes a noticeable difference in driver quality.
I'm very excited about how the Linux syscall ABI has become the new standard - Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris (well, SmartOS, and Solaris 10) all support it now. If only macOS would catch up!
They don't have any legal authority to spy on everyone either. Didn't stop them and after it went public, did anything meaningful happen about it?

Our German chancellor, Angela Merkel, went from "this is unacceptable and can't happen under any circumstances and there will be repercussions" to "please don't do it" after the Snowden leaks went public.

There is little political backslash and no legal one. The spy agencies (NSA, CIA, GSHQ, BND, #insertanotherhere) do whatever they want with little to no oversight.
And if the public finds out about it, the first move is to legalize it by law and continue as before.
Have you personally tried other methods when having an overload of server traffic?
Do you have a link showing a real setup of a better method?

Of note, the module is a port from the nginx tuned by alibaba which is quite a credible source.

I have served over a billion pageviews/month, and cutting off requests at a certain load threshold with a custom error page to users is a good idea. Otherwise the users will just get a huge slowdown or a backlog of requests which will cause a prolonged server recovery.

Also as the author vozlt mentioned, you can use "average of request processing times" and custom http errors. Also, it is much easier to use than the methods you suggest.
My advice is to not try Penrose's book. The vast majority of its contents will be utterly incomprehensible to someone without a PhD level background in physics.

Technically it is self-contained and nothing beyond high school knowledge is needed to understand it; but while technically true, in reality it's a cruel deceit. If you try to learn it without advanced training in physics and math, you'll run into limitations related to mathematical maturity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_maturity) very quickly, within the space of the first few chapters.

The idea of this book seems noble and uplifting, but it cannot be done in this fashion. It doesn't matter that every theorem and assumption are clearly stated and follow each other in an orderly sequence. There's a huge number of new ideas, mathematical and physical, which require proper acquaintance to settle in your mind, not the 1-2 pages Penrose is able to give each of them. If someone is serious about learning physics to that level "properly" and is willing to invest the time and effort, they're much, much better off working through conventional college-level (and later grad-level) textbooks in particular subjects, taking care of math prerequisites before and during such study. That's very very hard to do, but is in fact possible, whereas studying solely from Penrose's book, I think, is not. It functions, sadly, as a sort of trap for impressionable bright people very eager for advanced knowledge - they will try to struggle through it, inevitably give up rather early on, and blame themselves.
Last year my Windows 10 box decided to just restart to apply updates. Problem is, I was still using the machine and was strapped into VR gear. Suffice to say I was not pleased.
What’s Actually Causing My Brain to Detect Lag in Games?
"for the general public, the concept of "anonymous hacker" is not associated with anything good"

An association that's largely created by these tabloids in the first place.

"that's what "general public" wants to read about"

Maybe, but if that's what's required, they should be requesting an interview with him and only reveal what he agrees to reveal. If he wishes to, that could lead to a more insightful look at a man and his motivations rather than random paragraphs about pizza and surfing.

If he chose not to reveal anything, a responsible journalist would accept that and understand that the man has reasons for wishing to stay anonymous. Not dig into his information and publish it anyway, leading to both him and his friends being needlessly harassed for preventing crimes. At the very least, this could lead to future would-be Samaritans from deploying fixes or publicly detailing their methods.

At least they manages to increase their clicks with some facts rather than just making things up, I suppose.
Trajectory Recovery: User Privacy Is Not Preserved in Aggregated Mobility Data
So someone can say "You shouldn't in general be afraid of communism" but if I give a reason why they might be afraid, I'm being generally ideological? That is an interesting double standard you have there.
Ever heard of the i7 5820k? It was released Q3'14. 6 cores. 12 threads. i7 name. Around $400. [1]

AMD's great revolution was getting the TDP on that core count below 100W, and getting them onto a consumer chipset/socket instead of the enthusiast/server platform. That's it.

We keep saying they forced some revolution in price/performance that Intel has had to respond to. Its 80% hype, 20% truth. Intel was complacent on the desktop, yes. But Ryzen's perf gains over Skylake aren't significantly more than Intel's tick/tock perf gains they push each year; the main difference is that Ryzen focused on the enthusiast, which is something Intel had de-prioritized.

SOX 404 mandates segregation of duties. You literally cannot access prod if you also have access to dev.

Granted, this is only for US public companies, and only for systems that are in scope for your 404 audits.
Correct, however the argument I was presenting with the car was intended to demonstrate:

1: A product that ostensibly is not a communications device
2: The component providing LTE is but a small subset of the overall device
3: A rather high cost item where a fixed percentage ends up being rather significant

Even for the iPhone I'd argue that the overall communications ensemble is but a small part of the phone overall.

Contrast to an IOT device that might cost $50, the same should apply. I'm curious what the cutoff is for depends heavily and how EMVR is determined exactly?
I have this problem with a 16 GB flagship. Android alone uses 6.50 GB of my storage. I'm on Android 6.0.

Apps take up 6.32 GB of storage on my phone. The remaining space is taken up by the app cache. This isn't useless information like you'd expect, but it turns out it is data that is vital to the operation of my apps. I clear it fairly often, but it fills right back up again within a day.

Luckily I have an SD card slot, so I have space on my phone, but Google does not like expandable storage. Probably because they are a cloud organization or something.

I personally like to stay on a fairly new phone, but I think it is stupid that your phone can become obsolete within a few years. If the radios are still compatible with the cell towers, manufacturers should be obligated to support them. If you can't support your phones, don't churn out so many crappy phones.

I know times are different, but I used a Motorola Razr V3 from 2004 to 2011. It worked just fine for the entire time. Obviously internet sucked, but I was going to school in a place where the internet barely worked anyways.

If you just want a phone for texting, calling, and maybe as a GPS here and there, there is no good reason to buy a new phone other than planned obsolescence.

What Is a RCE (Race Condition Exploit) (used by WannaCry's Use of EternalBlue)
And when Facebook came out with Google Plus, we all switched away from Facebook, right? All the engineering genius in the world couldn't do enough for Google Plus (hint: it's not the engineering), why would they do any better with supplanting Lyft unless they copied Uber and lit money on fire by offering free rides for a year like they did with (domestic US) phone calls.
My take on this is exactly the opposite. I much prefer companies and individuals voluntarily using their resources to help those in need vs the government forcibly extracting those resources in order to do the same.
Nice, simple, intuitive proofs. Very cool.
True I suppose, but the problem is that this guy got the media someone else deserved. The victims and the audience aren't the same groups.
Blockchains, P2P Content Delivery, and Market Disruption with LBRY (Interview)
Couldn't agree more. I stopped my Amazon prime membership and now almost exclusively use Target and Walmart. Both offer free shipping for orders >$35 without a membership. And most of the items I buy are cheaper at Walmart and Target. I find Amazon to be overpriced.
Just to be clear, badger's license is still Apache 2.
The company I work for (Venafi), provides enterprise grade SSL certificate and SSH key management solutions. The on-premise enterprise solution provides certificate lifecycle management (monitoring for expiration, automatic renewal, and automatic installation). It provides a REST API so you can automate the process using your toolkit of choice. We've also recently released a new cloud service that offers free certificates for use in dev/test environments (and will have more functionality added soon!)
'The investigation pored over potential triggers such as a software bug or hardware fault but found them all unlikely.

I don't know that this is what they're doing, but what I've wanted for several years is a dual power mode computer.

In powered up mode it would operate like a normal x86_64 chip, full power and full speed. But in low power or standby mode it could switch to an ARM chip or core and maintain access to RAM and disks to let it run updates and downloads in the background.

For example, right now to update Windows or Steam games or other software, I have to leave my computer running at full power. Generally depending on what I'm doing I want to throttle or stop the downloads so it doesn't interfere with my normal use. But I also hate leaving my desktop on at full power and with the fans running just so it can do downloads and background tasks.

Or an ARM core could run a simple file server, letting me access files and information stored on my desktop without leaving it on all the time.

TL;DR: I wish I could have an ARM core in my desktop to run background tasks like downloads and other things Raspberry Pi-ish levels of performance.
That's actually a pretty reasonable defense of what I've generally considered a cringe worthy usage of the word "literally".
