You are again conflating high bandwidth and low latency.

> So to not be memory bound you need to run an extra 15 times more instructions... without adding any cache misses, just to execute one instruction per cycle (a fraction of the possible). If it's less you are memory bound.

Yes, if you do operations in a lineal access pattern like this the performance will be bound by the bandwidth. This is the situation I was referring to above.

> Now imagine it's not perfectly sequential, and instead you have to retrieve something from memory before you know where to go next. Like say a database index, binary tree, or linked list. Instead of getting 8 bytes @ 2400 Mhz you get 8 bytes per 70 ns. Keep in mind that's 8 bytes per 1/2.4 ns vs 70 or 168 times worse.

> Suddenly instead of needing 15 times more instructions you need 2500 instructions per memory load, all without a extra cache miss.

> So as you can see it can be quite easy to be memory limited.

No, in this case you will not be limited by the bandwidth, but by the latency. Having more bandwidth will do nothing, because at 8 bytes per 70 ns you're only moving about 109 MiB/s. If 100% of the memory accesses are cache misses (they won't be) and the application uses all cores then yes, doubling the number of memory channels will double the multi-thread performance (unless channel count = core count), although the single-threaded performance will stay unchanged. Additionally, in this particular load you could get away with relatively low frequency RAM, which won't significantly affect the latency but will lower the total bandwidth (it will still be way higher than 109 MiB/s) and will be cheaper.
I believe you are thinking of The Idea Factory.

It seems like an alternate explanation is that people don't like to artificially pick winners and losers, but they're willing to lessen the gap between winners and losers if it's too big.

Isn't that the same thing, just rephrased?

Just look at their systemic counterfeit, ip theft problem. They can somehow keep a billion people in line and censored and behind a firewall and complacent, but stopping major counterfeit and up theft seems beyond their reach. (hint, it's not, they just don't care).
1) Bond issuers have backends that they have to manage. Billions in legacy software and assets. By being able to unify the ledgers then that will reduce the need for them. So anyone involved in the backend will be affected, programmers, administrators, managers, clerks. They may not be gone but their numbers will be reduced.

2) Cost of financial instruments will be greatly reduced so companies will be more likely to do the work in house. The number of financial firms will be less therefore there will be less jobs in what is now the financial industry. New jobs expertise will be needed but current expertise are at risk. Middle men will be reduced. There will be a Google/Amazon type of player that will eat the industry world wide.

3)The cost of issuing debt will collapse so anyone involved in loans will be affected.

There are many other ways that Blockchain will impact the industry but these are the ones I can think of right now.

How long? Who knows. But it will be here faster than expected. For timeline, here's one to ponder. How has the cloud affected network admins in the last 10 years? The impact has been large yet it's only been a few years since it first started.

An md5 rainbow table for lower alphanumeric which covers passwords of length 9 is 63gb. Length 10 is 316gb. You can see where this is going. It's important to note the caveat upfront; lower case-only plus numbers. No upper case, no symbols.

I grew up in a town with one of those so-called "anti-poor-people" laws, with the minimum lot size being set to 1 acre. Except it was more to make sure that the area stays rural than it was to discriminate against poor people (plenty of whom did and still do live there).
Oops thanks, corrected. The Genius Factory was also a good book, about a crazy effort to make a Nobel Prize sperm bank. :) If I recall correctly, that book included a distant relative of Edward Teller, or possibly it was some other Bell Labs luminary.

Cute rewrites, but I think you could do better a lot of the time.

For example rather than using `cat`, `grep`, and `cut`, just use awk:

}
That is not what is being done here. A small minority is feigning outrage at the potential for offense because of a commonly used term that everyone understands. Let's call a horse a horse folks. Don't shift the goal posts here. You and those on your side are attempting to police language in a space where it is clearly not needed solely to show others how virtuous you are. It's disgusting, it's immoral, and there is no place for it here in this discussion. This discussion is about software, not social justice.
But that's not necessarily true, and the statement was regarding R&D not general income. The larger income in America part can also be questioned, particularly when the revenue in the US comes also comes a large cost of marketing - which some reports say exceed the cost of R&D. The US is also one of the few nations that allows that expenditure. It seems like we're just paying to much and funding a lot of marketing and doing nothing for R&D of drugs.

No it wouldnt bring the price back to the original. Its simple supply and demand. I mean of course the price would decrease more if no one moved in. But the price would still decrease. If it didnt decrease than those people would could afford to live in sf would already be living there.

Plus even if there is a hypothetical price floor (which doesnt happen) where people will move into sf, at least everyone is closer to sf so less traffic.

Yes, it certainly can be a big deal. You are assuming that there is a reliable way to evaluate "minor" and that the bureaucrats in charge will make that decision well in most cases (even though their incentive structure, parallel to an insurance company's, pushes them to trade bounded-but-not-lethal suffering against the bottom line every day).

I speak from personal experience in a country with an NHS-like "free" system. A close relative of mine flew to the US for short-term treatment of what was considered a "minor" eye problem, because he didn't want to spend 2-3 months functionally blind. It's true that the condition didn't threaten his life, but it did threaten his livelihood and personal autonomy on a daily basis; the bureaucratic process assessing priority decided this was a "minor" problem.

It's easy for us as the general population who isn't suffering to decide "minor, non-life-threatening" medical conditions can be comfortably shoved to the side.

Huh, I was thinking of https://linux.die.net/man/1/quilt

Land is cheaper, so those sorts of laws aren't as big of a factor.

That's starting to no longer be the case in Nevada if you're in Reno or Vegas, since Californians (myself included) fleeing California's high cost of living are driving up real estate prices (the rest of Nevada is fine for now AFAICT; just the cities that are an issue).

Because study after study has shown the money does trickle up. And putting more money in the hands of the poorest actually is one of the most effective ways of getting it into the economy.

I believe every additional $1 of income for the lowest income leveled created economic growth of $1.40 or something and as you got to higher income brackets it hit parity with $1, then finally was significantly less than a dollar.
This sounds a little too cynical, and possibly autobiographical.

As I said, it's not ideal, but it doesn't seem nearly on the same level as the US system. I'd rather spend 2-3 months functionally blind than be bankrupted because of a pre-existing condition.

Socialized medicine horror stories all seem to be along the lines of, "I had to wait months, it was very inconvenient," possibly with the addition of "I decided to pay extra to get it taken care of sooner." US medical horror stories are more like, "I couldn't afford to see the doctor, so I just hoped it would go away. When the pain became unbearable, I tried self-surgery. It got infected and now I'm dead."
Presumably licensing and legal coverage.
I think the value implication in the analysis is different. An aversion to rank reversal applies value to rank stability itself. An aversion to picking winners and losers applies value to the selection process. You could argue that the signal is still strong if the winners made twice what others made, but that it's lost if wealth is wholesale shifted from the unfavored to the favored.
That was the assumption I already made. I assume all commenters in this thread are male. But that still doesn't really answer the question.

This is what people said about the cloud a few years ago. For good or bad, companies are more likely now to use the cloud that to set up their own server room.

Blockchain is not perfect now but the basic problem of Trust is solved. It's only a matter of time before the bugs are ironed out and people start using it.
Probably better to hack/FLOSS. But there is a severe lack of structure there. Very easy to get started and get distracted, work on suboptimal projects and in general, never get validation on what you worked on.
An uncle of mine was a priest who more or less fluent in English, Latin and Italian. Also Tok Pisin (Papua New Guinean Pidgin English) for that matter from when he was a missionary.

He spent quite a lot of time in the Vatican and may well have been one of Foster's students.

I sometimes think whether his great talents were wasted as a priest* but stories like this help me think they were not.

* there were expectations of you going into the priesthood if you were the eldest son in an Irish Catholic family.
It's quite surprising. Quilt is a very common tool, e.g. for Debian developers: https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt

To be clear: I'm not suggesting the US system is good or that the NHS-style system is bad. But I do think there is a systematic diminuation of the badness of wait times among advocates of NHS-style systems.

I, personally, find descriptions like "it's not ideal" to substantially underplay the human suffering involved. And "it's very inconvenient" is, again in my opinion, a gross understatement of the suffering of losing your vision for a few months.
I agree with you, this is a topic that could use a good article and as OP, I did not write it. My hope was that others would pick up the thread and run with it, thank you for pointing this out.
Well it is necessary to put in place a build pipeline for developing a web app, but I don't see that as too much of a burden. If your app is of sufficient complexity to warrant using angular or whatever then you will be pouring hundreds of hours into it anyways, what's a dozen hours up front to learn how to properly use webpack to bundle and transpile your code so it will work in all browsers?
That is just a rainbow table, but there are many others. By modifying the chain length, you can make the table as arbitrarily small. The example commands on that site use a chain length of 3800, but it could be raised to 1 million.

You divined my thoughts exactly Sir. As others have expressed in this conversation, we lament the rent seeking world.
I don't be think that trivial tech means they are doomed. GitHub, for example, is basically a GUI around git with a social aspect. Many others have implemented the same features: GitLab, Gogs, BitBucket, etc. Yet GitHub has not failed. It's all about the execution.
Well, right, but now you've got the issue of perception. The message I got from the whole "1%" slogan was just this: That it's not even close.

If I think it's close, then what the researched observed may kick in, even if it's no where near close.

Not in the logical sense, but legal proof isn't logical proof. It's evidence, each piece of which, makes a conclusion more plausible than it would be in it's absence, which taken together meets a specific stabdard. Cases (both civil and criminal) or made with only the type of evidence short of scientific consensus that this ruling concerns fairly routinely.

You are right, this project evolved from the week long 2015 company wide Hackathon, with a participation of close to 16,000 employees, where people are allowed to take a week off to build anything of interest. Many accessibility projects have come out, off the top of my head:

(1) Eye Controlled Wheelchair for people with ALS

(2) Color Binoculars - App for people who are colorblind

(3) Hearing AI - App including live speech recognition and sounds recognition for people with profound hearing loss

(4) Learning Tools for OneNote - https://www.onenote.com/learningtools

(5) Dictate - Speech based keyboard control to type emails/documents ( http://dictate.ms), built originally for people with hand dexterity issues

A few of my peers now work full time on projects originated at the hackathon.

There's not really such a thing as "gaining unauthorized access to the salt" when you already have the hash; the salt is just as secret as the hash, and the hash is useless as a means of authentication without the salt, so obtaining the hash, unauthorized or not, generally also means you obtain the salt. Libraries for algorithms like scrypt even usually give you one string which contains both a random salt and a hash.

You can regenerate a rainbow table which uses that salt, but you'd have to generate a rainbow table for every password, since each password has its own random salt. I don't know how rainbow tables work exactly, but I'd assume an old fashioned brute force attack or dictionary attack is cheaper than making a rainbow table for each password.
That's only part of the "os" if you mean part of the installed libc, as opposed to part of the kernel. Managing heap is done in userspace.

Instead of overthinking and assume that people don't want to upset social hierarchy, I suggest the researchers to take a step back and consider that people prefer symbiotic over the antibiotic scenario. In this "game", we may not know how A came to wealth, but we would be certain how A lost wealth. Similarly in the second scenario, while we know B is still less wealthy compared to A, at least B is wealthier than before. Value creation vs Value transfer. (Entrepreneur v. Investment Banker)
> So I think the argument was that it made economic sense for a single organization to own all the wires, so it could maintain them with a set of common specifications and processes. But if you can reduce every wire to a single number -- its information-carrying capacity -- then this argument goes out the window. You can use all sorts of heterogeneous links made by different manufacturers and maintained by different companies.

The hard problem is security. Right now you have to trust Amazon et al with your data, which is not really what you want, but even that is better than having to trust Some Guy running a host out of his garage.

This isn't a real problem for static content. That you can just encrypt, throw it up on IPFS or similar and add federated authentication for access to the decryption keys.

But data processing is something else.

There are people trying to solve that with encryption too, but it's hard, and to a large extent equivalent to making effective DRM, which is not a desirable thing for your problem to be equivalent to.

A different approach is to trust people who you actually trust. We're now at the point that a fast processor consumes a single digit number of watts. So you can run your own server at home, and so can your friends and family, which allows you to pool capacity for load sharing and higher availability.

Then services become software you install on your trusted pool of servers.

There is no technical reason that can't exist, people just haven't done it yet (or they have but the future is not evenly distributed).
In bare metal deployments or cloud? If the latter, then moving to the former seems like an obvious choice.
