That's ’just’ Keynesian economics: the government finding an excuse to boost aggregate demand by borrowing money to spend into the local economy. War has the relative advantage of constantly depleting the assets invested in and thus demanding re-investment, whilst the moral clime enhances the population's will to lend money to the state to fund such an endeavour (”Buy war bonds to fund our battleships! Help us defeat the Hun!”) Investment in infrastructure, on the other hand, generates return on investment for the local economy. War efforts often involve lots of infrastructure work too to support the industries that need to build the weapons (ports, railroads and highways to move goods, & cetera).
First: I'm not defending what the west (including the country I feel I belong to) has done in e.g. Afghanistan and Iraq.

Then again your logic breaks down easily:

You fall back on this notion that because genocide has not succeeded, there are therefore not voices pushing to target and marginalize large numbers of people. By your logic I should be able to say that because jihadists have not overthrown America there are therefore no terrorists with harmful plots.

There is one major difference here: Western military forces has the capability to flatten whole cities without warning inhabitants first. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden for an example of what they were capable of as early as 1945.

To make this painfully clear: If people who decides were at all trying to indiscriminately kill citizens of any of these countries thats what they should have done.

Instead for some reason they waste their bombs and their troops trying to take out smaller groups of people.

My conclusion stands: either they are really dumb or they have a different goal. I'll let each reader make his own conclusion here though...

As for why jihadists doesn't kill more people I think it is because they don't have the capability. Looking at the Manchester bomb for instance that looks more like what someone who wants to indiscriminately kill as many as pissible would do. Again I'll still leave it up to the readers to make their own conclusions.

Then again: you and OP again and again mention things like "voices that call for mass killing (via various mechanisms)". I have yet to see one link in this thread.

My conclusion: yes, I think the west has been horrible in a lot of cases. I think some people are profiting from it. But you need to document these "voices that call for mass killing" because last time I heard someone talking about killing civilians from other countries was one weird guy 15 or 20 years ago.

And I know quite a lot of people who belive very strongly in a certain deity that many westerns tend to worship or (sadly IMO) often just pretend to worship.
Assume that you had a garden with acres of produce all perfectly grown and in season. If you wanted orange juice all you would need to do is walk out into this garden, pick some oranges, bring them back to the kitchen and manually squeeze them into a glass.

Now imagine if you wanted to have a bit of toast, maybe with some chocolate-hazelnut spread. All you would need to do is walk into the garden, grab some hazelnuts off the tree and some cocoa beans, perhaps with some cane sugar for good measure. Some blender in the kitchen would be able to make your hazelnut spread, just so long as you shelled the nuts first. Similarly with the bread, in this garden, free for the taking would be some strong wheat that you can put through some kitchen appliance, then after a few hours with the breadmaking machine the bread would be good to eat. Butter would be equally simple too, you just needed to milk a cow, put the milk in some glorified washing machine with a bit of salt, then wait a while to get the freshest butter ever tasted.

Would you be able to complete all of these tasks by breakfast? Would you really bother to shell all of those hazelnuts? Would you question why it is that you have juiced 14 oranges when actually just the one orange, non-juiced was satisfying enough and didn't require all that effort dicking about with juicing?

Of course people have allotments and smallholdings so this does happen, albeit with greenhouses instead of some magic 'always in season' aspect. But my office workmates of the obese variety have no idea of the effort needed to get their food, even if it is healthy food. The connection is not there.

One of my dream is to rock up at the doctors one day having eaten too much fruit and veg. For the doctor to recommend me to stay off the veggies and eat some sugary snacks instead. I am fairly sure that no amount of fruit and veg would age me, not in the way that sugary snacks, beef products and everything processed would.
I do appreciate that part of the article; I was just taking issue with the speculative, fearmongering aspect of it. Normally I wouldn't even say anything. I think I just hit some kind of limit. Maybe I need a break from media!

Well, this sort of depiction is always a many-edged sword. After seeing a media argument that amounts to "Nazis are these grotesquely inhumane monsters, and therefore it's okay to punch them", you'll have some people taking away that they should punch Nazis (their own, possibly much more general definition), some people actively trying to expand the "Nazi" label to their political opposition (so they are flagged for punching), and some people becoming more easily persuaded by actual Nazis because they aren't dangling any babies by their legs like garbage bags and therefore don't pattern-match against the Nazis they have been taught to punch.
But if you don't have HT in your i7, you basically have an i5 that you paid more than you needed for.

Or has that changed? At one point, i7 was full-featured, i5 was an i7 with HT disabled, and i3 was i7 with HT intact but smaller caches. Is that different with Skylake/Kabylake?

and my previous comment was ironic :)

Ack - sorry. I must be irony-impaired. That's why I don't post very often. :-)

Are you advocating violent suppression of views you dislike? Do you not see an irony there?
Gandhi and King. Violence just leads to more violence and hatred.
I think the dynamics are more complicated than that. Some diseases seriously mess with your quality of life, whether it be chemo for cancer or blood pressure medicine with nasty side effects for heart disease. Or my least favorite, a decade of Alzheimer's.

I heard the ideal death described as pretty solid health up to a very rapid decline, healthy food probably helps that.
Talking about slippery slopes, it is more like this (I understand that security is needed) :
1. Nobody over dangerous caught - there are no bad guys that many and we don't need that big agency, need to be reduced
2. Bad guys became smarter (our research says that there are 99% bad guys lurking and etc...) - we need to increase scrutiny never know what they can do
And now you are sitting in management, if you choose option 1 there are big probability that loose job, option 2 you can expect that you wage will be rising (bigger agency, more work). It is same as policeman catching all criminals and he will be not needed, of course if something happens government will be blamed...

This is amazing! Thanks
Did you just say "it's simply a matter of scaling up" unironically on HN? Even ignoring that, your ~4000x margin looks a lot impressive when you take into account minor details like how much of the Earth's surface is covered by water, or the response spectrum of solar panels, or thermodynamics.

We get it, you're a big fan of wind and solar. Making reaching arguments to show how excited you are doesn't actually help it come to fruition.
From one of the 2016 MacBook Pros:

Can't find if 174 is the fixed version or not.

So this is one of the models for which there exists a fix, as per the email.

Yes, sure, let's go all get PHDs in electronics, networking protocols, IPC and database architecture, so we can write reliable transactions for our webshop/CRM. Or I don't know, maybe use mature system multiple decades in production.
Photovoltaic capacity is expected to be around 4674 GW in 2050 (currently around 150, I think) [1]. Let's be optimistic and say it'll actually be around 20000 GW, just for the fun of it, and let's ignore all of the variability problems that solar poses.

Considering that PV's capacity factor is around 15%, that's around 26 PWh of annual (electric) energy production, around 50% of the electrical energy we use up in a year today, nevermind what we will actually need in 2050 thanks to the neverending growth we're apparently trying to go for.

IIRC, electricity represents 20-25% of our civilization's energy use mix, so solar should solve around 10-15% of our needs in 2050 under extremely optimistic assumptions and ignoring ALL of the variability, energy grid, energy storage, solar panel production issues, none of which are minor limitations.

2050 is around 10 years beyond the date we need to be carbon neutral to stay below 2°C [2], if we were to peak in 2020 and quickly ramp down our emissions. It's 20 years too late in business as usual scenarios.

Pesticides are showing increased evidence of hurting society through the foods they protect. In fact there was a post here on HN today regarding this.
To be fair, I don't even want to think about the amount of spurious bug reports they are probably receiving.
Gas is easy to transport, but only really by pipeline. LNG is a lot more expensive and capital-intensive. And there is only one place with rising demand where it's easy to transport U.S. natural gas: Mexico. Pipeline gas exports to Mexico did nearly triple between 2011 and 2016 [1]. Exports to Canada over the same period fell, however.

Anywhere besides Canada and Mexico requires liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, which are very expensive and have low capacity compared to a pipeline. You'd need a lot of them to make up for the lost demand from even a relatively small percentage of American natural-gas power plants shutting down. So if production is really going to continue apace, it depends almost entirely on Mexico's demand continuing to increase.

I agree with the article, but Amazon is more monopsony than monopoly. AMZN is like Walmart--they're the buyer producers must sell to in order to get to the consumer. They control access to the market. And as we've seen with Walmart, monopsony power can be very destructive to producers.

Great fast company article on Walmart's monopsony power: https://www.fastcompany.com/54763/man-who-said-no-wal-mart
If anything, we will see people preferring a lot less human interaction.

People used to gather in salons to hear live music. Today we put earphones on a train to listen to music instead of socializing.

If we socialize, we do it with other consumers, not producers.

Compare photos of the 50s and now. Everyone was socializing outside. Today they are on fb with the phones mediating.

The milkman doesn't come around anymore. The gas station attendant doesn't fill up your car in many states. The Uber driver drops food off and leaves right away. Amazon delivers.

We want it globally accessible, accurate, and now.

Already you prefer to ask Google than your parents or teachers, and so do they.

In the future as AI gets better how do you know people will still want that smiling McDonalds cashier instead of a kiosk? Or the personal touch of a chef instead of a machine that gets the same result every time?
I wasn't really trying to pick a fight with you. I've played games for a long time and based on my biased experience with gamers, you don't play first person shooters because you're trying to learn something. You play them because it's entertainment with big explosions and escapism.

Some people will learn something from it, sure. Hopefully they get through high school understanding that, though.

The Butter Wars: When Margarine Was Pink
Maybe. It might just be that the tricks it plays matter a lot on newer CPUs, and older fast compressors played older tricks.

I think the ratio of CPU cycles to i/o bandwidth is what really matters. Presumably the optimal tradeoff between CPU throughout and compression ratios depends on that and varies over time.
Most women I know have a hoard of men waiting to take them out and entertain them. On the other side, most men I know struggle to get a single woman to go out with (or men for that matter as friends).

Men are in such compitition now that they have deep distrust of other men and won't let them into their circle.
Is lying to police a felony in Norway? I think it's not generally a crime in most of the west, though not a right that would override other statutes either.
How Twitter Pornified Politics
Nice.

[spoiler alert] I played a few games, and the problem is that the better strategy is expanding reckless. (Perhaps trying to attack the smaller numbers instead of the biggest numbers improve that a little.)

IIUC the growing is linear with your total population, so the best strategy is just to get as much territory as possible to get as 10 as possible.

Perhaps the growing can be proportional to the sum of the vales of the hexagons to a low power, like 1.5.

So if you have 5 tokens, you can conquest 5 hexagons and get 5/something tokens each turn, or you can conquest 2 and split them in 2+3 and you will get 8/something tokens each turn, or keep them all in one hexagon and get 11/something tokens each turn.

(I'm not sure tat 1.5 is the best exponent. Perhaps something lower like 1.2.)

SO you have a tradeoff. You can not expand and use the exponent to get more tokens, but they will be too concentrated and one you get to 10 you will get no more tokes, or you can expand and get less tokens each time but you will have more space to put them in the board.

Also, in the current version the AI must attack more! Usually the AI don't attack so to win it's enough to surround the AI players and attack them slowly.
Just as information, the Loop Stream Detector was introduced in Intel Core microarchitectures. With Sandy Bridge, it was 28 μops. It grows to 56 μops (with HT off) with Haswell and Broadwell. It grows again (considerably) with Skylake to 64 μops per thread (HT on or off).

The LSD resides in the BPU (branch prediction unit) and it is basically telling the BPU to stop predicting branches and just stream from the LSD. This saves energy. However, predicting is different than resolving. Branch resolution still happens and when resolution (speculation) fails, the LSD bails out.

In any case, 64 μops is a lot. That's a good sized inner loop.
Let's not forget that the Nazi's took power during a time of democracy, with full support of a plurality of the vote. Between that and Trump's overt authoritarianism, it's fair that people will draw analogies between the situations.
This is because once upon a time people were put in jail for not doing that (when the customer was the DoD).
The problem is that 1% don't have that much money to afford it. They might be rich, but they are, well, 1%. The real money were in the middle class — numerous enough to pick many bills.

Now there is not much of a middle class remaining. Many bills are due, and this is the end of the line — both for the 1% and everybody else.
I think the point of this article is more about the fact that there are signs which suggest that the US is heading towards Nazi Germany, not that it already is as bad.
Any glibness I see is from those who continue to pretend we don't have a very serious problem in western societies, refusing to see the blatantly obvious and increasing warning signs we are seeing all across our societies and economies.

Just like the US housing bubble & crash, it is like a train wreck in slow motion that after the impact, everyone will be claiming no one could have seen coming.
The article discusses studies with Rhesus monkeys that largely confirmed the results of the mice studies, and also mentions a study with humans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CALERIE) and some early, positive results.
I'm not trying to alarm you, but I've watched a youtube video of a gamer playing it "unironically". After 30 minutes the guy was enjoying rejecting people and starts getting angry at characters with bad papers, insulting and rejecting them with some kind of sadistic pleasure. Pretty scary.
This job-centric lifestyle seems to point to a problem of sustainability rather than economics. Jobs are never endless, moving somewhere or creating a town for one particular job or factory will always end in deserted towns and closed factories, and not adapting to what is happening around you always ends in tears. Nothing new here...

If you want to work, you should look for what people need rather than whatever you did for a job 20 years ago. For example, we'll always need energy and food, but we won't always need cowboys and coal miners. Instead of trying to be a coal miner, try to be an energy worker.
That's part of what made me curious about LBP+chiropractic research! Pretty wild.
Seems like an incrimination of what people are willing to invest in than some flaw in inventing. Yeah, they mostly sound like silly (and not new) ideas. But then why are they getting money?

While the Republican voter base is much more rural than the Democrats I think it'd be pretty naive to say that the interest of the common rural man is currently what's being enacted.
Yes, you could painstakingly evaluate, test and use individual libraries for all those tasks, and then manually write the glue to make them work together, and when the time comes spend additional time ensuring that when upgrades are applied everything still works nicely together.

I believe you are misrepresenting the article.

It does not say that punching nazis is ok. The closest it comes to that is "To be clear, sometimes the only way to win against a Nazi is to punch them."

The article is clearly advocating coherent argument over violence, dialogue over silencing.

I believe you have significantly misunderstood.

It's way better to combat "racial purity" ideologies (or any other speech) with more speech, with reason and truth than with violence.

You mean as advocated in the article, where it states:
"... we also need to understand and be ready to explain the reasons why racism, genocide and white nationalism are bad"?

LZ4 is good engineering work, better than Google snappy (zippy) which itself was better than LZO (both have somewhat improved by looking at each other's code since then). The current best general purpose compressor for decompression speed is Oodle Selkie, but it is not open source. I don't if a fast compressor for Oodle Selkie exists - since it was developed for game assets, they don't care about compression speed.
