Tailfins for CPUs. Do not want.

MIPS did something like that. Each MIPS variant required different compiler flags to get good performance. Software distribution was a huge pain, with multiple versions. MIPS peaked in the 1990s.

I think it's pretty hard to argue that their decision would have been any different regardless of the ethnic makeup of the band.

Whether or not one agrees or disagrees with the political views of any of the Supreme Court justices, I think you'd be hard-pressed to argue that any of them are unintelligent. They're very clearly aware that this ruling sets a precedent that will apply to future trademarks regardless of the background of the applicant, and yet still ruled unanimously in favor of the band.
Are they really so surprised that their promise to only survey criminals is broken?
Sure, but for ProfitCorp to effectively screen out anyone with a rebellious streak, anyone with a spine, anyone with strong genuine convictions, would this actually be profitable? Maybe another company will do better actively seeking out someone with bottled_poe's profile, someone who from an early age demonstrated (for the sake of argument, anyway) daring and individuality?
SELinux is made of 3 things

- The kernel doing the permissions check (called object manager)
- The policy telling the kernel what is allowed or not
- Some userspace tools and libraries to load and manipulate the policy and the state of SELinux

The kernel and the userspace tools are almost the same across all distributions (Well Fedora/RHEL are carrying some patches).

But for the policy it's a different story. RHEL/Fedora have a gigantic patch applied to the refpolicy (reference policy developed by the SELinux upstream).

The policy allowing docker to work has not been upstreamed so it's not that easy for other distributions to use it
That list is pretty overwhelming when viewed all at once. None of it could have happened with the sub-3G speeds we used to have, though.
Deconstructing the “Near” Perfect Deal – Our Investment in Julia Computing
Intel has been "dead" before. AMD has "beaten it" before.

AMD knocked it out of the park with x86_64, which allowed a seamless transition to 64bit. Intel ended up having to license x86_64 implementation from AMD.

AMD beat Intel with their K6 and similar series of chips where, just like this time around, they were able to get way more performance per tick out of the CPU. Intel was supposedly dead in the water due to their toaster era P4 chips that ran hot as hell, and consumed way more power to get the same job done. AMD started making some serious inroads in the server CPU market with early era Opteron processors.
Following that era, out came Centrino era of mobile processors, which took a different approach to the CPU architecture from the P4 and set things up for the Core2Duo etc series of processors and on in to the i7s and the like.

I'm highly skeptical that Intel is any more dead now than it was then.
It has a track record of going away and completely changing the whole story all over again, and they've got the financial resources to keep on doing so.
A disadvantage of doing whole-level encryption is that you have to decrypt the entire file, even if all you want to do is read a few bytes near the end of the file. Similarly, you would have to re-encrypt most of the file if you wanted to write a few bytes near the start of the file.

For large files, the difference can be huge. That's why APFS supports both; it does block-level encryption by default, and users can choose to additionally encrypt files, at least that's what I make of https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Fi...:

"Encryption

Security and privacy are fundamental in the design of Apple File System. That's why Apple File System implements strong full-disk encryption, encrypting files and all sensitive metadata.

Which encryption methods are available depends on hardware and operating system support, and can vary for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch.

Apple File System supports the following encryption models for each volume in a container:

- No encryption

- Single-key encryption

- Multi-key encryption with per-file keys for file data and a separate key for sensitive metadata

Multi-key encryption ensures the integrity of user data. Even if someone were to compromise the physical security of the device and gain access to the device key, they still couldn't decrypt the user's files.

Apple File System uses AES-XTS or AES-CBC encryption modes, depending on hardware."

The Washington Redskins had already filed an Amicus brief in support of this change.

Probably the same way. Although the petitioners in his case were Asian, it is well known to the Court (being seated in DC) that the same legal issue is also involved in the long-running legal/political dispute over the naming of the Washington Redskins football team.
GPGPU Support in Chapel with the Radeon Open Compute Platform [pdf]
Fellow HN readers, I humbly ask for some advice:

I'm currently working through Udacity's Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree; if everything goes well, I should be heading into Term 3 soon.

What is painfully known to me, before I started this course and now in the middle of it - is my lack of certain education in mathematics.

Particularly that of stats/probability - but lately understanding the basics of calculus, namely that of derivatives and integrals. So I would like some assistance - namely, what are your suggestions for me to remedy this, after I finish the Nanodegree?

My thoughts have been to take a reprieve from coursework, then maybe next year launch into something more. Maybe more MOOCs or other online course or resources (like these books) geared toward learning this material. Or perhaps taking a course or two at a local community college? Perhaps I could audit a local (ASU West here in Arizona would be closest) mathematics course? Or maybe do some other kind of formal online study (I have considered getting a BS then an MS via an online school).

I seem to do alright with MOOCs "at my own pace" - but I also do well in a more structured system, with a set syllabus, schedule, and testing.

I just want to see what others think might be the best approach, in order to assist my decision in the future. Thank you all for any suggestions and such.

re: the latter - I know. :-) There's no need for the disclaimer.

I have no personal experience with therapy, but plenty of vicarious and/or second-hand knowledge. My conclusion is that therapy cannot help with objective and concrete issues. Therapists can help with psychological and emotional issues, perhaps, but not with perfectly normal responses to objectively stressful problems whose solutions are worldly. Tax debt is paid with money, not with a different point of view or holistic mind-body wellness or what have you.

I agree that writing can be therapeutic, though, and perhaps I ought to do more of it for that reason.

Tuiqo allows you to work on many versions of your text at the same time, from within one document. It saves time wasted on tracking changes, creating multiple versions of the same document and reviews.

The SmartFusion2 from Microsemi is also a contender for Cortex-M based FPGA/CPU combination boards, on the extreme low end. I haven't used a Cypress yet. (The SF2 dev kits actually come with about 25k logic cells, which is a fair amount for such a small board with an M3).
I find nginx easier to use and their documentation better. On the other hand Apache has some features which are missing from nginx like supporting client certificate authentication only on a specific path. Either will probably solve your use case just fine.
This comment would have been more useful if you had mentioned some of these systems so we would know what to learn about.
It's probably good that a lot of this is public, but one thing I think we're going to reckon with is how "available" all of this data should be, and how much it costs in terms of time or money to retrieve it.

Should I be able to find the public records for any citizen, anywhere in the country, at the snap of a finger? Or should I have to go to e.g. the courthouse and ask for the records in person, deal with a phone system, &c.
Personally, while I understand that this is nothing illegal, I think it's terribly wrong.

We just handed everyone, including the 5% of society who tend towards sociopathy, a nicely tagged, collated (and yet probably slightly inaccurate) list of minorities.

Hate women? You have a nice list which includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all those women.

Hate muslims? Boy do I have just the list for you. Blacks? Republicans? White muslim men who live in the same neighborhood as you?

Let's omit the sociopaths for just a moment, and let's look at the ad networks. Can you picture how much more accurate a picture those companies have of you now? They no longer have to guess at your age, ethnicity or religion - they now know. What could go wrong when that list of "legally" collated data gets combined with the RNC leak, and is subsequently itself leaked?

So no. It's probably not illegal to compile these lists. It's probably not even illegal that it was released. But it was, for certain, a damned immoral thing to do, and there will be consequences.
Launch HN: Solve (YC S17) – We Save International Travelers Hours of Time
Hey! I’m Blaine from Solve (https://www.solve.com) and we're in YC's current batch. We save international travelers hours of time by greeting them at their arrival gate, expediting the immigration/customs process, and making sure they're safely in their vehicle heading to their destination. We’re available in nearly 500 airports around the world, and we help with departures and connections too.

Our service sounds like it'd be expensive, but it is actually quite reasonable for someone who's already traveling internationally. For instance, our service for two people arriving in London costs $225 and in Hong Kong it costs $210. It's about $75/person from there. Many of our clients are business travelers and families, but we can help anyone who values their time and/or wants some extra assistance getting through the airport.

I stumbled upon this idea when a friend and I were flying from Seoul to Bangkok. I wondered if there was a way for us to get through customs more quickly, so I searched Google and found a (rather shady-looking!) website for a company that said it could help. I took the risk of giving this company our passport and credit card details, and amazingly, it all worked out. When we arrived, an agent met us at the gate, we were whisked through the airport process in minutes, and the agent helped us get a taxi to our hotel.

I wanted to book the service for other trips, but there was no easy way to do it. So, my co-founders (Shawn and Justin) and I built Solve. We’d love your feedback and are happy to answer any questions.
> From the opinion: "If private speech could be passed off as government speech by simply affixing a government seal of approval, government could silence or muffle the expression of disfavored viewpoints."

I have a hard time with this because I can't see how the dots connect.

If government grants exclusive use of some term to me, that means you can no longer use the term in particular contexts. That's more stifling than having no protection, isn't it?

For backstory, here's NPR's Planet Money podcast about the situation prior to the SCOTUS ruling:

The company that makes the software "says it sells the tool exclusively to governments" as though they're trying to take a moral stand and say "we only see it to the good guys". When in fact they sell to governments that are highly oppressive and corrupt. It's a farce.
"the claim that something hadn't any negative impact on you because you turned to be out fine, without comparing"

I'm lumping that in under "studies" about health effects.

> In the equation, 10 = y - z, you cannot say that z is 0 without knowing y, right?

> I am saying just that.

Yes. You are. But we have good baselines for y, and the person is trying to make an argument about the entire population of zs, so while you're correct that there is uncertainty on the y, the way you went about it is only relevant to thought experiments and your later replies were very much exacerbating a fruitless discussion.

And like I added later, you can't even measure y with magic twin earths, so there was even less reason for the comment at all.

>EDIT: regarding branching timelines and butterfly effect, are you talking to yourself?

The comment you were replying to was talking about "twin earths". Your specific comment said "your version who never had shots". That's what I'm referring to with "branching timelines". Sorry for using alternate wording.

I can avoid using the phrase "butterfly effect" if you want. It's shorthand for: Once you change something, like vaccine vs. no vaccine, there is a chance that the "twin earth" or "your version who never had shots" comes out completely differently for essentially random reasons. Tiny little differences in what you experienced the day of the shot cause different outcomes later that are entirely unrelated to the shot itself.

So it's actually irrelevant whether you can test against this "your version who never had shots", because the act of performing the injection screws up the list of "random" events that happen to that other-you. And once that happens, you're basically measuring two different people. And you can measure two different people on normal earth.

So there is no y vs. z comparison, not even in the thought experiment you were replying to.

This seems like the hallmark of a pre-dysfunctional workplace. None of the engineering managers I've worked with wouldn't expect their engineers to drop what they're doing and look at an article. All but one were too busy themselves to be doing that sort of thing. None would want to jeopardize their schedules by distracting their engineers. Most managers aren't trying to be friends with their engineers; they have their own friends.

Maybe this is common in startups or in teams where the manager expects to be friends with their engineers. I suppose I've been fortunate to never be put in the situation where chatting with the boss overrode doing solid work.

Whoa! I'm not sure how the government telling OTHER people what they can't do is YOUR private property.

There are lots of items that can be used to debate the for/against of the topic: Free Speech vs the government protecting hate speech, if protecting is the same as promoting, the role of government enforcement in commerce, etc. but I can't see "property".

In fact, unlike copyrights, the point of trademark is to prevent consumer confusion. It's not something granted to your for YOUR benefit, but rather for the benefit of consumers. Someone can trademark the same name in a different (but potentially related field) if there is no consumer confusion. Likewise, a trademark in an unrelated field can be denied or ruled invalid if it is shown that there IS consumer confusion. (example: Sleep Inns were original McSleep Inns, until McDonalds (the food manufacturer) shut that down. (http://www.nytimes.com/1988/09/19/us/mcsleep-loses-to-big-mc... - That article is thin, but my understanding is that McDonalds actually used polling to help prove that it was confusing, but that might have been a different case.). You can BENEFIT from this (by marketing your product to build a brand with a positive reputation), but a govt rule that benefits you is not the same as that rule being your property.

> If the government can arbitrarily chose which private property it will enforce, you open up the possibility of rife corruption.

I'd drop "arbitrarily" from this statement, as it seems a bit circular. The decisions aren't "arbitrary" - the line of what is and isn't "hate speech" is subjective and fuzzy, but almost all of the law boils down to a subjective fuzzy line (the "reasonable person" argument). Unless you're saying that corruption will MAKE it arbitrary, at which point it's not the arbitrariness that makes it potentially corrupt, but the corruption that could make it arbitrary. Drop the "arbitrarily" and I think the statement is fine, even agree with it (though I don't consider trademarks to be property).

Qualys found some exploits, told parties responsible for fixing the problems, those parties fixed the problems.

These are remarkable because they are conceptually straightforward but the power of the exploits was potentially substantial.
