Of course it's possible. (In fact, you can mine Ethereum on Nvidia and it's not too bad. GTX 1070 has the same performance as RX 480/580. The 1070 is more expensive but it also consumes less power. So you can achieve the same profit, just with a bit more time.)

But that wouldn't make any sense for Nvidia. They're enjoying their dominance over the gaming market. They have a lot of fanboy^Wmindshare and now even gamers who wanted an RX 580 can't even buy it because of miners.
The property "p|xy => p|x or p|y" does in fact hold for p=1. (The conditions on the LHS and RHS are then true for all x,y.) The simplest formulation of the condition for irreducibility (p=qr => q=1 or r=1) is also true for p=1.

Taking 1 not to be prime is, none the less, pretty clearly better than the alternative. Here are a few examples of neat things that would break if we took 1 to be prime:

When p is prime Z/pZ -- i.e., "integers mod p" -- is a field, meaning a thing in which you can do +,-,*,/. This would be false if we allowed p=1, though admittedly there's a not-too-crazy way you could change the usual definition of "field" that would fix it.

The "fundamental theorem of arithmetic": Every positive integer is the product of primes and this product is unique up to rearrangement. This would be false if we took 1 to be prime, because you can always add or remove 1s from the factorization.

The famous Riemann zeta function (zeta(s) = sum over positive integers n of n^-s) has a representation as an infinite product: zeta(s) = product over prime p of (1-p^-s)^-1. For a little example of why this is nice, note that it provides an instant proof that there are infinitely many primes, because as s->1 zeta(s)->infinity, which would be impossible if that were a finite product. This would become nonsense if we allowed p=1 because one factor would then be 1/0.

Prime numbers all have exactly two divisors (1 and p). This would become false if we took 1 to be prime.
"Whatever you do the children of rich and well-educated will always be in top 5-10% of their class."

Any evidence for that - from what I've observed at the private schools in the UK that my son has attended is that the rich have plenty of kids who have problems or underperform academically - it just doesn't matter very much for them as their parents are rich.

[NB And by "rich" I mean seriously well off - tens or hundreds of millions]

I'm not a believer, but I would assume that God is not outside (or inside, or in any location. As an absolute, this consideration feels like not applying to God. Hence can you define your relationship to God in a way that separate both from each others. Even the term "both" feels strange, as God is suppose to be everything and more.

Coming from that, the idea of the acceptance from God is a concept you have in yourself.

Maybe I got this wrong, intellectualizing spirituality is usually a terrible way to share about it.
I use and like Reveal.js but admittedly I sometimes question whether it is the right approach. I try more and more to make my presentations most visual, and too often I end up spending too much time in the CSS fighting Reveal.js (which tries to center everything and do auto-scaling, which is nice in general, but a pain when you need a more custom layout).

Currently I end up just doing a lot of the graphics in Inkscape, splitting the layers into multiple SVG files (one per layer) using a script I found, and then assembling it together in Reveal.js using fragments. This technique I used most in one of my latest talks: https://sinusoid.es/talks/immer-meetup17

Now I wonder if maybe I just want to use something like Keynote... but I only use GNU/Linux and try to live in a mostly libre environment. Maybe Impress is good enough?
> Those same polls predicted brexit would not happen and Clinton would win

You say it like it's a major indictment - people just don't understand probability and low probability events occur all the damn time. On the flip-side people also play the lottery.

A lot of factors contribute to poll errors: sample group is never perfectly representative of actual voters, people lying on their voting intention if they feel it's not socially accepted, &tc. That does not make polls worthless.
Deportations are happening at a rapid pace. No, the cameras may not be part of the current deportation / ICE frenzy, but working on them would put the engineer on the side of the Immigration establishment. From that point of view, it's a moral choice even if the specific object in question, a camera, is not immoral on its own.

I can deeply respect anyone who would refuse to aid the current government's immigration policies in any way, and I would refuse to do so myself.

Or in other words, as I said in my article...

How everything online is private property dependant on a huge number of other parties.

This causes two major issues:

1. Your private platform can be taken away at the whim of a large company or ten, simply because your enemies made a big fuss about your beliefs on social media. If your reputation gets bad enough (or the false threats to the host or registrar common enough), 99% of companies will simply cut ties rather than do the right thing.

2. All platforms being privately owned means there's no way to get a message out if it's disliked by either the powerful people that own said platforms or a large percentage of the population.

Real life doesn't have these issues, because:

A. Public property is mostly unavoidable, allows freedom of speech and basically comes with a built in audience. Protests in the middle of the street or a public park have a guaranteed audience and cannot be blocked simply because one or more groups of people dislike the message.

B. Private property is truly owned by you, with the government generally not being able to kick you out because people complained about your views.

The internet's real freedom of speech issue is that everything is rented and nothing is truly either 'owned' or 'public'.

You can always have an alternate use for GPUs.

>Since you reject my hypothesis

I reject your hypothesis on the basis that you have provided no evidence.

>I'm asking you to suggest an alternative

An alternative to what? Why there are less black people and women in tech than there are Asians and whites? I don't know. It could be any number of reasons and none of them may have to do anything with racism or misogyny. You can't just prove your assertion by saying "well i can't think of anything else it could be therefore racism must be the cause".

>And your alternative appears to be, "I don't know why, but for some reason black people just don't like money."

Your paraphrasing of a position I put forward is disgusting. It isn't at all what I said. At all.

You also missed my point. I'm not saying I believe my alternative. I have no evidence for it just like you don't have any for yours. I put it out there to demonstrate that there are potential alternatives that would need to be taken into account.

>Sure individuals are different, but why would we expect groups of people to have such distinct preferences

That's a good question. A type of question that one could study and get a Masters for or a PhD. Certainly there is plenty of precedent at least when it comes to tastes in movies, music and food. So why would you just dismiss it out of hand and blame racism?
I stand corrected then. Just to be clear, I wasn't meaning to blindly come to the defense of Foxconn, I don't know enough about them to form an educated opinion, although if I'm being honest it would not surprise me if they have some rather horrid working conditions, but I see the Foxconn suicide stats thrown around often without any context of wider suicide rates.

Funciton – A graphical programming language
They don't account for revenue from outside the stores. Apple technically doesn't allow purchases to happen outside its stores, in practice that has always been a bit of a grey area, but in any case that revenue is not disclosed to Apple and therefore cannot affect the rankings in any way.

As for the calculations, Apple updates roughly every six hours and I think (the algorithms not being public for a good reason, I have no real proof), they take into account the total sum revenue during the last period, but also use the relative delta revenue as a factor, so even with slightly lower revenue a suddenly popular app can appear higher in the rankings.

They also seem to change the algorithms every once in a while, we've seen pretty drastic changes overnight a few times, eventually though the top apps always normalize around the usual suspects, so it's possible that they just do some sort of reset of historical data that also affect rankings.
> Because that's the only politically correct thing they can do

This is not even wrong. There is a long list of 'politically correct' things the government could do which are inconvenient (timing-wise) as they would highlight their fallibility/incompetence. First on the list is to stop the drastic cuts[1] they instituted to the police force. A close second is to stop exporting jihadists (that's right: exporting civilian British nationals[2]) to wage war in Islamic countries. It is unfortunate that saving face in light of the impending snap-elections is preventing real solutions from being implemented; instead, we get security theatre that sounds good to the electorate but wouldn't even have prevented the previous attacks - a necessary factor for the action to be considered as an improvement at the very least. Right now the issues are totally unrelated; just opportunistic legislation.

We're not likely to get below 3nm. We getting into the realm of making things on a feature set of a handful of atoms. It's insane we've got this far.

Then there's the matter of using this for production of large scale shipping chips. Note the POWER9 (IBM's next big chip) is expected to be produced on 14nm.

> we'd need a paradigm shift?

Yes we're coming to the end of the road for traditional CMOS chips. I don't think anyone really knows what's next as there's no clear successor.

I would speculate in the coming years we'll be seeing more performance coming from invocations in the data path for general purpose computing. Of course exploitation of massive parallelism will continue.
I frankly wouldn't mind this sort of piece about people with so much wealth that this sort of profligate spending is no big deal for them -- if these weren't the same people who are NIMBYs and have succeeded at preventing the construction of cheap, high-density housing in US by ending public/social housing and with land use regulation / zoning laws that prevent any sort of private equivalents.

Ask HN: What's your company on-call setup?
I'm a junior programmer at a mid-sized company (150 employees) with an engineering team of 20 developers.

I'm curious what is typically expected in terms of responsibilities, timing and compensation.

- How often are folks on-call? How frequently do issues occur at your org?

- How much do people get paid? Is it extra when issues happen?

- Is it normal to have all developers on rotation? Or do you have a separate operations team?

- Can you work remotely? Are you expected to be available at short notice? Do you have a second level backup person?

Any other insights I should know about are welcome. Thank you! :)

>We Bought a Crack House

As you do.
Some comments after reading the article and the thread as it stands.

My kids are in their early thirties now and grew up right in the middle of the "self-esteem" boom. We jokingly called the grade school they attended "self-esteem central" and this was back in the late 80s, so we (as parents) were very aware of what was happening at the time.

I think we knew even then that not everything about it felt quite right. My feeling around the absurdity of the 35 trophies for "trying real hard" at the time was that it diminished the very real accomplishment that actually winning something (for real) entailed. AND, the kids were never fooled. They knew exactly who had really won (as others in the thread have mentioned). So like all of these "reactionary" movements (as defined by a sharp deviation from what came before) they tend to pull too far in the other direction.

Most important for me though is the feeling that the movement had the basic idea perfectly right! I think it is hard for non-parents to understand the feeling of helplessness that a parent feels when they send their kids into the mad hopper of public school. You have raised and loved this little being for 5 or so years and now you are sending them to a place where you can mostly only hope that they will not be treated poorly (berated, insulted, hurt physically). So if the self-esteem movement did anything, maybe it raised the bar for the reasonable treatment of kids as fallible human beings that respond better to the carrot than the stick? I think it feels right to me. As parents we are just looking for a safe place for our children to learn stuff. Is it so much to ask that this place actually not suck?

As far as raising children with an eye towards "global competition," the argument can be made that there are diabolical ways involving mind-games, insults and cajoling that will breed more cutthroat competitors and that the adults raised this way are better equipped for the "real world". I say have at it. Parents can make that choice too if they want to. But I didn't want that for my kids, period. Make the "real world" the place you want it to be.
> The fact that they expect the occupants to just leave when asked as if they have somewhere to go is bizarre. Who are these people?

Well, I mean, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to ask people to leave the property you just bought.

Like, don't get me wrong, I'm all for ensuring that there is good housing for everyone, and property values and gentrification are having a horrible effect on anyone not fortunate enough to be born into a family with some money, but it's not like it's a house the buyers had just let sit empty for years at a time. The seller probably should have been more involved in ensuring that the property was either actually empty or at the very least securing it and ensuring there were no existing contracts, as one of the residents there apparently had.

Like, there's plenty to be annoyed with regarding the buyers. This isn't one of the reasons.
