Firstly, I'd like to apologize to you again for misinterpreting the link in your profile as being a site you run (you could put in your profile that you are unaffiliated). Lots of people here run sites, so you will understand that I thought it was to your site.

The warning you just linked (it's down at the moment but here is an archive[1]) says "If [someone says] that he consistently makes $1,000 per day, well that’s great. But have them show you proof in the form of account statements."

So I don't see why you became so upset with me when I asked for a similar proof from you - I was fine if you make it anonymously! (Blanking out all of the identifying information).

I would assume that you are being honest, and after all you do have a bit of karma here. So what I asked for is exactly what the site you linked suggests - just some indication of the size of your portfolio, even if you make it anonymous.

Sorry again about misinterpreting your link as a site that you run.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, however...

Yes, mathematically, you can get impulse response via Fourier transform. In practice, you're using a current to push a coil against a magnet into a spring. A real current, a real magnet, a real spring. You get all sorts of non-linear behaviors. On top of that, the spring (that is, the driver) retains impulse energy as mechanical energy, and then emits it back in a nonlinear way, by moving that coil in the magnetic field - turning a motor into a generator, producing seriously nonlinear signal back into the amplifier that produced the original signal, where it's picked up by the distortion-correcting negative feedback loop, and...

Yeah, that's not a simple Fourier transform anymore. If you had enough data points, it could be modeled mathematically. We don't have all the data, and don't yet have a good way to measure all that stuff.
Can't someone see the absurdity of this? Building temporary housing for extremely well-paid employees in a city where everyone is rich? Something is off to say the least ... they will end up with uber-expensive makeshift homes because people can simply afford to pay more for them. The logical thing to do would be to expand their offices in other cities, or offer remote work. It all seems to be driven by the billionaires who just love their city, but maybe someone should point out that in the end the entire wealth and vibrance of the US will be concentrated in a single city and that would have very bad implications.

Is 1 transistor always 1 transistor? Afaik most of the increased number of transistors and die size comes from larger caches. I could imagine the translation hardware having a much larger impact on cost, complexity and performance than yet another few million transistors of L3 cache.

The media are responding to their own incentives, you might as well pass the blame again onto the readers/watchers. It's a structural problem, no one group is to blame. I'd say one major factor is the US seems to be mostly devoid of a shame/duty based culture. People need to be driven to act within generalizable moral codes across the whole society. The idea that if the market supports it and it is within the law then it is beyond criticism is in my opinion not sustainable.

Putin's hold on Chechnya is slowly losing, and Kadirov needs to find alternative sources of power/legitimacy, and religion is damn powerful one, and targeting Gays is perhaps easiest way to placate the fundamentalists, who might seek to de-throw Kadirov for not being hard-core enough.

The Stigma has always been there, but systemic targeting means there are more underlying reasons mostly power struggles or consolidation.

There are other reasons to reform the prison system too, but we as a people really need to work on this one. I know a few people who have been wronged in a big way. One of them (perhaps the most wronged - lost a child to a repeat DUI offender) publicly forgave the offender and didn't even show up to see him be sentenced. They're the only ones that seem to have been able to move on in any meaningful way. The others talk about nothing but what happened to them and were seriously depressed for a long time, even when they were long past the direct consequences of what happened. We all need to be willing to let things go a little more - for everyone's good.
Please don't take this as a comment against you specifically.

I am incredibly saddened by the fact that this association is weak enough that people could even entertain the idea that they are misremembering.

Fraud. Personal culpability. Jail.

The one thing that will put the brakes on such.

P.S. Also worth mentioning, various governments have various laws and regulations prohibiting doing business with agents convicted of criminal activity. It would also be worth actually adhering to and enforcing those.

A bigger threat than a fine that often represents a fraction of the profits already gained.

But seriously, pierce the corporate veil and lock them up. Long past due. And experience has now shown, the only way to substantially reduce such activity (e.g. Savings and Loan Scandal of the '80's).

P.P.S. Regarding this, and all the Federal agents/roles that have been reassigned from domestic and financial crime to "terrorism". More Americans face greater terror today from the prospect of being screwed over by fraudulant big business, than face real (as opposed to manufactured) terror over a terrorist attact. Or, a "terrorist" attack, looking at how broadly that label gets applied, today. (I was going to say, how broadly it gets "thrown around", only it isn't really being "thrown around", it's being used quite deliberately to foster self-serving agendas.)
No they aren't. But they are doing something that criminals also do, so that generally merits investigation. Consider the older male birdwatcher sitting on a park bench watching a school playground with binoculars hoping to see a rare Kirtland Warbler.

So you have to consider how rare it is to deposit $9,500 week after week after week, versus depositing between $500, and $12,500 in a reasonable spectrum of values over the weeks. And even if you have a business that pays exactly $9,500 a week, then when someone asks you "How is it that you always have $9,500 to deposit each week in cash." and you give an explanation of your local ice cream van which buys $5,000 in ice cream each week and generally sells out, which at the prices on your van comes to $9,500. Then that investigator says "Ah, ok, thank you very much." and leaves you alone because you haven't done anything wrong. They might pass along that information to the IRS which would expect to see a K-1 or a Schedule C for an owner operator business that was doing $9,500 a week in gross revenue. And if for some reason they had gone that far and found that the person dutifully reported their income and paid such taxes that were due. Then again, there would be nothing to say or do.

If you look at the text of the bill you will see that the definitions are pretty clear:

“(B) knowing that the transaction—

“(i) conceals or disguises, or is intended to conceal or disguise, the
nature, source, location, ownership, or control of the proceeds of some form of unlawful activity; or

“(ii) avoids, or is intended to avoid, a transaction reporting requirement under State or Federal law,”;
and

(2) in paragraph (2)(B), by striking “knowing that” and all that follows through “Federal law,”
and inserting the following:

“(B) knowing that—

“(i) the monetary instrument or funds involved in the transportation, transmission, or transfer
represent the proceeds of some form of unlawful activity; and

“(ii) the transportation, transmission, or transfer—

“(I) conceals or disguises, or is intended to conceal or disguise, the nature, source, location,
ownership, or control of the proceeds of some form of unlawful activity; or

“(II) avoids, or is intended to avoid, a transaction reporting requirement under State or Federal law,”.

Basically you can use cash, bitcoin, and gift cards all you want for *legitimate* purposes, it is only when you use them to conceal or transact illegal activities do they become 'money laundering'.
I own a bunch of headphones and generally the good headphones aren't cheap - not because it's expensive to make headphones but mostly because of R&D. It's not rocket science though, so you can also pick up very good headphones quite cheaply.

I like my Sennheiser HD600's (and MDR-1000x for the office) which are $300 headphones, but equally happy to use Superlux HD-681 EVO or Soundmagic E-10 which cost around $30
I had very similar headphones - Sony MDRV6 and I guess I never understood why they are so well regarded. They didn't sound very good on any of the music I listen to - some parts seemed way too quiet, while others were too loud. I am not an audiophile, but I mostly agree with this review:

I later bought Symphonized Wraith headphones and they sounded much better to me.
Medical school makes you dead inside, which is very practical to work long hours and not worrying about dying on the outside :)

As a European working in the US medical system, my general impression is that US people fear death much more than in Europe, where people bother much more about suffering than dying in itself. I don't really understand why, but americans seem in my experience far more willing to undergo invasive procedures to live longer, even if it means bad quality life.

because, as the Quebec license plate reads, "je me souviens" (what they did).

By law French comes first in Quebec, from education, to store front signs (French 2X as large and taking center stage relative to English words), to "moving day" (July 1st is technically Canada Day), to provincal holidays, etc.

Makes sense, a few million Francophones hemmed in by hundreds of millions of Anglophones -- in order to preserve the language and culture measures need to be taken to ensure that future generations carry on the fleur-de-lis.
I guess those responses aren't wrong, technically, if the person who stole your account changed the email address and phone number for your account. Not very forward-thinking on Uber's part though.

Annoying for you, but I guess it won't be too difficult for you to get a new account, since they no longer recognize you.
You can give them, but it's so worrisome to HR that they usually just outright forbid it. It isn't worth the legal hassle if someone tries to sue them over it, no matter how 'right' they are.

We're talking about an ex-employee here. It's not like giving negative feedback will really help the company. It can only hurt them.

Fortunately, lack of good information strongly implies negative information that is being withheld, so it's all fine.
Do you have any idea where I can find such lawyers online? or maybe some community where I can ask questions for free?
I think the only reason they contacted us was because we were one of 25ish companies certified to communicate with government endpoints early on in HTTP based EDI. It was right at the moment that EDI went from faxing to FTP to HTTP/email in AS2/3/4. Others were Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, EDS, Axway, /n software etc.

It wasn't until we had to connect to AAFES that it was a problem. We were small but we were sending a good amount of orders and financial data from Wal-mart, AAFES, and other gov't sources that had early EDI over HTTP/S going. They were also recommending us to vendors on their approved EDI software list and probably wanted to recommend ones that played nicely.
No, Excel is to blame, because it's way too happy to convert your data into something else it thinks is appropriate. A proper system (SPSS, R, Pandas, you name it) will yell at you if you try to do nonsensical stuff.

You can use the bank switching logic as a minimalistic/sort of MMU, giving each process a full memory bank and nothing else.

To get real protection of programs against other programs and of the kernel against any programs you would have to make the bank switching logic privileged, but I would think that's doable with some external logic that snoops the memory bus and only allows switching to another bank if either the current bank is bank zero or the destination bank is bank zero and the instruction pointer matches that of the kernel's entry point.

You also would have to force a switch to bank zero to preempt processes. I think the easiest approach would be a timer that, when it expires, switches to bank zero and interrupts the CPU.

With this hardware, that could give you 7 processes, max. I think you could have fun with a minimal Unixlike OS in that.

Edit: it will be a bit of a challenge to pass arguments to the kernel if the kernel can't rely on hitting trusted code when it bank-switches back to a process to, say, read a memory buffer, but that can probably be overcome by force-mapping, say, the last kB of RAM to the kernel's memory space.
Ok, then SOTI. They just cherry picked companies to support their point.

Widespread mockery and ignoring is fine. It would only take one person who can code and thinks the contract makes sense for it to get implemented.

Its your assertion that no such person would have emerged between 2008 and now, if Satoshi hadn't written the reference implementation in 2009? What is your reason for believing that?
You should take a look at what Apple is doing if you think that. Especially the developments announced last week. Going forward I would expect to see a vast number of products on that platform both from Apple, and from third party developers, that are doing on-device and privacy-focused implementations of AI applications.
The secret chats are almost useless. Even setting aside the impossibility of syncing between devices the support is severely lacking: Telegram web? No[1], telegram desktop? Nope[2], telegram-cli? Yes, but the client is completely broken and abandoned[3].

FTA:

"The tech giant plans to buy 300 units of modular housing to serve as temporary employee accommodations on its planned “Bay View” campus at NASA’s Moffett Field, according to a source familiar with the plan."

Are the units temporary, or are the employees? Serious question.

“The end product is of the highest quality. It’s impossible to tell the difference between a modular construction project and a traditional project, other than that the modular goes up much quicker.”

I would like to see more based on this assertion.
> Those are only saved/restored when switching between processes not between threads.

No, those registers are per-thread. The only things that are per-process are the page tables and, in special cases, CR4 and LDTR. If you want to see the code on Linux, look at switch_mm_irqs_off().

> Context switching when dealing with threads is typically done in software, not in hardware

Hardware context switches (the x86 "task" mechanism) have been obsolete for a long time and are unavailable in long mode.

> precisely so that registers that are not used (like the segment registers) don't get needlessly saved & restored.

And that's the problem: the OS doesn't know that the registers are unused until it saves them.

> Saving/restoring registers isn't even the expensive part of a context switch anyway. Switching address spaces, cache flushes/misses, etc... are all more expensive than saving/restoring registers.

Go compare WRMSR to MSR_FS_BASE to the cost of a CR3 (page table) write. You might be surprised. And that CR3 write is about to get considerably faster, maybe in Linux 4.13, when my PCID patch set lands. (Yes, Linux will eventually use WRFSBASE instead, but that's a minefield and will take a while.)
China had exports of 2.3 trillion dollars in 2016. 16.9% of which was to the US[1].

.5% of trillion is 5 billion. Let's just round down China's exports down to 2 trillion.

That means the US would be levying 10 billion dollars in tariffs on China during the first year alone and this would continue to increase for the next 4 decades?

How do you imagine China would react to that? Do you imagine a trade war would be good for the world economy?

This is the kind of nonsense that Trump was recently spewing during the US election season.

You know who's going to actually pay that tariff? The U.S.? They will pay for it in higher prices on goods and perhaps more importantly they will also pay for it in China financing 100s of billions dollars less of U.S debt in the coming decades. That might be the kick in the pants the US needs to get its deficit in order but before wreaking lots of havoc.

You realize that China is the United States second largest creditor right? Until very recently they were the United States largest creditor[2]. Yes China finances the United States by buying up U.S Treasuries.

And just how involved have we been able to get? They've proposed and passed laws with objection before even they know what is written. Many laws are effectively written by industries which they will benefit and then passed to benefit the politicians. When foul play is called out, someone unaccountable falls on their sword while the regulation that benefits cronies and stifles competition remains on the books until "the most powerful" comes along to influence change. In none of these steps are the average citizen involved. Did the average citizen vote to have laws the effectively regulate away business and consolidate power in all industries to a few companies that are in bed with the government? If so what good is empowerment when you're part of the issues.
Because I've seen people using ad-hoc organizing strategies on social media after previous disasters and and I've also seen people expressing desire for features. People and companies don't need to be asked in formal terms to solve problems, but often choose to offer tools in response to the a perceived demand for such.

I'm not obliged to provide citations for every personal observation I make in a short comment, or indeed in a long one. Try being less rude in future interactions.
Yeah, I think we do. When audio engineers talk about impulse response, we're really talking about how accurately components can reproduce sharp-attack sounds. Snare drums, acoustic guitar strings, some synth sounds - these are examples of fast impulse response.

Microphones really struggle with this. So do mic preamps, recording media, amplifiers, and especially speakers. Recorded instruments sound wildly different from live-in-a-room instruments.

edit: I should add here that fast impulse response isn't necessarily what we want. Consider the common use of the relatively sluggish Shure SM57 on snare drums, rather than the much faster response of a small diaphragm condenser. The condenser usually just sounds harsh. The SM57 smooths out the sound. This is good, because nobody in their right mind actually sticks their ear one inch from a snare drum.

COBOL and Lisp are not _trendy_ but they are _hugely_ popular in certain fields.

Interestingly the reason they have not blossomed into old age is because they have exactly the opposite reputations: Lisp is hard to create but elegant when you have it right, COBOL is hard to replace, and inelegant wherever it lives on.

Perl was trendy but unmaintainable and often replaceable, so it was replaced.

Smalltalk lives on mostly through its ideas manifesting themselves in Ruby. It is still popular in certain fields, particularly those where "minicomputers" once reigned: business critical 9-figure turnover manufacturing sort of businesses.

Python has had longer to build traction, and so far has kept it - I'm arguing it might be about to pass.
