OT, but referring to the article: why are so many websites allergic to serving basic HTML these days? You get a lovely white page with a Javascript blocker if you try to open this article. What's particularly offensive about this one is that all the raw data is loaded in correctly anyways - the JS appears to just fiddle with making it look right, and there's no default style for if that doesn't happen.
You can still mark it deprecated, even if you don't actually get around to removing it - code that gets recompiled will see the warning and hopefully fix it, and that which doesn't will still work.
This is my experience with them as well. Very positive.

Apple has extensions and they have a developer program:

I am very curious how Walmart will fight back. As we all know Walmart is the biggest company in the world. Their board is consist of famous politicians who have powers.

They will fight back with Amazon as hard as they can.
This is a great advertisement for Google Cloud. Google Cloud's security model is much simpler. For the 95% case, you can have different projects for each app and environment, and assign access permissions per project. Then you can gradually add in shared resource access when you need it. To get the same kind of isolation by default with AWS, you need to have multiple AWS accounts (AFAIK), which is a giant pain.
It's definitely a gray area. But there is a huge difference between a court order requiring you to comply with unlocking your phone and a cop demanding to access your phone at a traffic stop.

Zion the latter case, did you comply or not? Did you use the wrong finger or not? Did you intentionally resist or did the sensor fail to work properly/efficiently?

Those are extremely difficult things to prove layer in court.
The US military is currently spending $400m per launch with ULA. Now with SpaceX, they pay around $100m per launch.

Whatever investment the US government have given to SpaceX, they'll get it back very quickly now that competition exists in the launch market.

Hold on. I DO NOT think we need to respect Nazis or their beliefs. Rather, I think citizens have something close to an obligation to suppress Nazis (and all related ideologies) with every lawful means available.

By way of example: the deference Hacker News gives to racism and misogyny in the name of tolerance is deeply problematic for me, and, I think, an enormous mistake.

Where Ed and I disagree is that I do not think it's OK to physically assault someone simply for carrying an offensive flag. That is probably the entire extent of our disagreement.
> Amazon's secret sauce is lowering costs, especially transaction costs. Monetization and business case are easy to justify when lowered costs are provable (not just expected).

I disagree. Walmart is obscenely good at this cost-lowering too. Indeed, I'm able to price-match a better deal from Best Buy, Target, and so forth today.

I prefer buying used (and new) games from Gamestop, even online. Almost explicitly because even with free "Prime" shipping, Amazon's prices are slightly higher. These other online shops simply wouldn't exist if the prices were cheaper at Amazon.

Amazon is people's first choice online now. It is no longer the cheapest deal in my experience. Instead, Amazon's main benefit is the social network, its marketplace (as full of counterfeits and cheap Alibaba peddled goods are... that's a lot of business Amazon has on its marketplace), and AWS.

None of those things make Amazon the cheapest. (Cheap questionable crap can be bought from Alibaba at much lower prices. Especially since USB-C cables from Amazon may blow up your computer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11021665)

Brand-name stuff is never cheaper at Amazon. The Brands are powerful, and they make sure that their prices are the same at Target or Walmart as they are at Amazon (ex: PS4 or Nintendo Switch). Designer Clothing from Amazon has questionable quality (See: http://amazonadviser.com/2017/06/22/nike-partners-amazon-hel... Nike recognized the problem, and is now directly selling on Amazon to try and stamp-out the fakes and counterfeits.) Again: if I wanted fakes, I go to Alibaba for cheaper prices.

--------------------

Amazon just wants you to think they're good at lowering costs. But they haven't been a market leader in cost-cutting for... several years now.
I agree. It's totally possible that Intel found the bug in another bug report, fixed it, closed that bug report, and never realized that the OCaml bug was related.
Thanks for the links. It all seems like excuses.
I feel like a lot of the processors Intel has released recently that have had problems like this. Intel's Bay Trail processors like the Celeron J1900 have a huge problem around power state management (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051) that's unlikely to ever get resolved and makes those processors almost unusable under a lot of conditions (random hard hangs on systems without watch dog timers really kind of sucks). I wonder if Intel has been more lax recently with how the systems get tested?
Today's launch wasn't from Canaveral. It was a polar orbit launch, so it went from Vandenberg near LA.

There are a few reasons I could think of:

1 - Most industrial DMLS/EBM systems have a build envelope far too small for this. A system like the Norsk Merke IV might have the required size, but parts built that that process still require post-machining.
2 - Tolerances. Casting -> Machining still offers greater control over the final geometry than additive processes, especially at that scale.
3 - Casting is a bit more design-agnostic than additive processes.
4 - QC processes for casting + machining are far more defined than for additive processes.

None of these are insurmountable challenges, so I'm sure in the future a laser-sintered/EBM/plasma-deposition process will be used or at least heavily-considered.

Drones are becoming incredibly useful in the industries where somebody has to check on things over a large area. From farming to power line inspection, it's become far easier to look at hard-to-reach areas.

The launch on Friday used the old fins. During re-entry, one set was glowing from the heat. I really thought it was going to cause a landing failure.
The Mill faces the same compiler problems that Itanium and other VLIWs have faced. There's only so much available ILP to be extracted and then even that's hard to do. It turns out that the techniques that Fisher developed, trace scheduling [1] and its successors, work equally well for superscalars thus bringing no net advantage to VLIWs.

The great wide hope lives on, somewhere in the future.

Even if I buy what you said, it means the following:

- C compiler correctness verification cost _is not_ out of proportion of its benefits, by virtue of the verification being very doable (and done already multiple times). In other words, low cost, low benefit. (though I seriously doubt your 'low benefit' claim and I think security, and guarding against undefined behavior, is easier to enforce through verified implementations, because it makes modifying compiler behavior more efficient, but let's stick to what you said).

- C++ compiler correctness verification cost _is_ out of proportion (high cost, low benefit)

- JS compiler/interpreter correctness verification cost is not out of proportion of its benefits, by virtue of existing JS implementations being very buggy. (high cost, high benefit).

This still leaves your original comment inconsistent with what you just said.
When people are horrible enough and are not respecting the laws at all themselves, advocating that we can only go after them by lawful means amounts to advocating more respect for them than they will give anyone else.

I don't know the solution. I really don't. But in order to defend yourself from horrible, predatory people in the world today, you basically need to be some kind of kung fu wizard and diplomatic genius combined or you will be railroaded by the laws that, in theory, are supposed to protect good people.

As a victim of childhood sexual abuse who was clear I would murder anyone in cold blood if they raped my small children -- and then go to jail for a very long time because I would not have at all made a sympathetic defendant -- this is a problem space I have contemplated a great deal. Fortunately, I am hellaciously talented and was able to make sure no one raped my children. But there is something very wrong in a world where we worry more about protecting the rights of heinous people like child rapists than we do about their victims, which is essentially what is going on here.
Why would that be a problem?

Unless you're fetching all the unneeded fields as well, in any decent DBMS both approaches would result in the exact same execution plan with the exact same performance, the unneeded parts/joins of the view wouldn't be executed.
Metasploit is a bit like a knife. You can use it to chop vegetables or stab people, and depending on who wields it, and in what circumstances, either of the outcomes is more likely.

I'm not arguing against the development on Metasploit though, and neither do I want to make an argument against vulnerability research. Every time Tavis Ormandy takes a shower, an AV vendor runs for cover; and on Christmas each year, Karsten Nohl cancels the vacations for some legacy system developers. That's a good thing, because those guys report their findings. They push vendors to fix the vulnerabilities, and they improve the security of systems we all depend on, every day.

Governments should do the same thing. I am all in favor of investing more in vulnerability research, but we need a process of disclosure. Stockpiling vulnerabilities puts everyone at risk, with little benefits.

Circling back to Metasploit: Yes, it makes work easier for cybercriminals. But even just the knowledge that a vulnerability will be available as a module quickly may be enough to make some vendors think twice about not reacting to a disclosure email, whether it's from Project Zero, independent researchers, or (hopefully more often) government CERTs.

I would disagree with your disagreement :)

I consider one of the biggest costs of Walmart to be the time and experience of actually going to Walmart. I generally find the experience unpleasant, or at least a chore, and it is time consuming because Walmarts are so large and then you have to wait in line. I consider Amazon "cheaper" even when their prices are slightly higher because I save time and energy. Now living in NYC, transportation from stores is much less convenient than when I used to live in a city with a car. With Amazon, it just comes straight to my door.

Then there is the competition on items. With Walmart, it's all sold by Walmart. Knockoffs aside, Amazon is bringing multiple sellers together where they are competing head to head on prices. That would be like going from Walmart to Target to compare prices on items -- such a time consuming activity that nobody would really do it except for large ticket items.

There may also be nostalgia about the prices. If you look at the old catalogs

http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/

and adjust the prices of hifi and other toys to modern values the products seem incredibly expensive.

E.g. the best LP player + radio + speaker package from 1968 cost around $300 - which would be around $2500 today.

Of course you can spend $25,000 (or $250,000...) on modern hifi. But Radio Shack were always aimed at the mass market and not at esoteric hifi perfectionists.

RS seem to have made a lot of money hyping mediocre products that cost maybe a couple hundred dollars to manufacture and selling them for $1000 to $2500 a go.

I'd be fascinated to know what their operating margins were in the 60s and 70s.
I think comparing online clothing retailers to firearms retailers is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. Everyone needs clothing, firearms not so much... Because of this clothing retailers have a much larger client base to draw from, and thus there's more money pumped into their sites. Firearms are a niche good, so the base they draw from is much smaller. Many other niche goods have effectively been absorbed into the Amazon monolith. If Amazon (or equivalent) were to not exist, many of these goods would have their own small niche retailers. These small retailers would have minimal capital, cue PHP hell.
Only a handful of STEM degrees are really remunerative, and I don't think we can call putting everyone in a handful of engineering disciplines a serious solution.
Slowdown in development pace I believe.

Not to take anything away at all, but a large part of the rocket development until now was based on an existing knowledge base from NASA.

Going forward, there's going to be more and more uncharted territory, so things will likely progressively slow down, relative to the astonishingly fast development pace up until this point.

Having the entire design of a system in your head is invaluable. I'm in that situation with one of the products I work on. It can be frustrating, at times, when there is more to do than one person can handle, and you have to delegate tasks out, so you end up spending much more time explaining how something works and guiding someone else as to how to implement a feature, than it would to just go in and make the necessary changes. Eventually, it does pay off, but it requires constant effort to keep abreast of the changes and document everything.

I think we're in the early stages of a genuine disruptive event.

"They were actually worried about an 'energy crisis' back then. Didn't they realize free energy falls from the sky all day long?"
Coal is a third of the US energy mix. It'll take decades to bring that to zero at present energy consumption using both NG and renewables. NG will continue to expand by necessity. We're about to switch over to electric vehicles, which will add a huge amount of new electricity demand to the grid. There's no scenario where we support that shift in the next ~30 years on renewables alone. More likely, circa 2050, we're going to see 30-40% NG with 50-60% renewables (maybe 10% nuclear).
VC is really only applicable to a small subset of possible successful business. It is actually poisonous to businesses that will succeed financially but with rates of return less than 10x in a relatively short time scale.

So, for what VC is doing in the market I think it is fine for a handful of people that can absorb the necessary risk make those decisions and the bets.

But there is a huge gulf between those types of new business investments an d smaller risk(both in size of capital needed for the experiment and unknowns)/smaller reward investments.

That fat middle is where smaller investors or crowdfunding could really come into their own.

And man it gets hard on maps where there's only one hex between regions. Long protracted battles. Like real life, I suppose.
I know. It has great short term effects tho and as a human, I naturally prefer to optimize for those.

And my pet theory is that most of the effect in energy levels and well being that people get from IF is actually just from being mindful of what they eat for the first time.

Funfact: everyone feels better when they start eating well. Exactly which trick they use to make themselves eat well isn't too important.

All that to say that so far whenever I talked to anyone who's discovered intermittent fasting and said how much more energy they have now than they did before, when asked about their habits before, it's usually something like "Oh I just ate whatever I could find at random times in the day with pretty much no thought given to what I'm doing"

This has been going on since I got into the "Windows scene" 15 years ago with Windows XP, slipstreaming and custom install INI's. It's no longer the area I work in, but something tells me your prediction is probably as wrong as it was when people were saying this exact same thing 15 years ago.
Interesting. In my experience, at any given function, at bars, in parks, or anywhere really in the bay area, talking to anyone has around 50% chance to be someone working at some sort of tech company. Not necessarily an engineer, but certainly close enough to probably know computers to a reasonable level.

To me, "radical change in social organisation" is far milder than "societal reboot". Also, opposition to slavery great organically over centuries, not from the proposals of one person.

Also, by the time abolitionists were most active slavery had already been removed from large portions of world society. What the radicals of the 19th Century proposed was completely unprecendneted and untested.
