I'm really glad this one keeps making the rounds. Of course this is not even close to the first time this has been posted but I always continue going back to it after all these years.
I think you're underestimating the damage the DNC did when they screwed over Sanders. A lot of the traditional democrats I know simply refused to vote after that. Sanders also offered the change you're talking about.
I don’t really see the point of using this for a Plex server. Unless you’re doing massive amounts of transcoding 24/7
Stallman argues that free software enables users to control programs, whereas paid software is controlled by corporations. I see two problems with that.

(1) Isn't knowledge also power? In this context, developers have the knowledge. Users who aren't programmers don't control free software any more than they do paid software. Further, training more users to become developers requires money.

(2) Corporations don't exist unless they serve users in some way. There's an interdependency that I think Stallman ignores.

That said, free software is important, and a useful way to challenge the paid model.
Targeted ads. They look like interesting articles but then when you get there it's just a few facts and then more ads. You end up making somebody money from ad clicks but never find out the information.

Ironically, the solution is to usually just google the topic, satiate your curiosity and move on. But I can get stuck in a looking at ads for an hour before I realize what is happening. It's such a waste.
I haven't been paying tremendously close attention to this line of CPUs, but I'm interested. I've seen indications that it's not particularly stable under Linux. Is that true? Is there a microcode update?

possibly, I'm not sure what implementation you have in mind?

I find it's the combination of a poor keypoint finder, noise and needing to be able to match partial images is the problem. If I could guarantee that 99% of the keypoints in the query image would be in the matching image and that the extracted hashes wouldn't be affected (hugely) by noise and that most of the query image was present in the matching image then I could simply discard a huge amount of the triangles and only query for a manageable number of them.
Obviously that's a lot to ask but the better I can make each part the more options I will have for culling the hashes. For the moment I need to query as many fragments as possible to have a good chance of finding the matching image.
you did, but think about the cost of having competent senior software teams + it + product manager + project manager + ML engineers + data scientist and for a gigantic company buying palantir can make sense. for a software centric company it makes much less sense.
How to Form Meaningful Relationships with Investors
Does this really work? I tried Netflix from my DigitalOcean virtual machine but it throws the usual error "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy"
There are ISPs that have tools to inject arbitrary code into HTTP webpages. For example, My ISP injects notification banners into my web browser sometimes.

Even if the ISP means well at the beginning, the tool can be abused (ISPs injecting tracking, or reading the tracking information so they can sell it). Attackers at coffee shops and conferences can do much worse.
Goldman to use 'personality test' as part of the hiring process
Especially for prokaryotes, how to define what is a species is an active problem in the philosophy of biology. IIRC, Laura Franklin-Hall at NYU has written about this (https://as.nyu.edu/faculty/laura-rebecca-franklin.html). In a research setting this is far from a trivial question. One lab's E.coli may show different characteristics than another lab's, even if they are the same strain.
Here as a conservative, I do think Google had the right to fire him. I don't agree with the decision, but I don't need to. It's not my company.

How to Connect Xender to Your Computer for Sharing Files
I feel like the anti-systemd folks are just helping systemd by portraying the only two choices as systemd and classic init. It used to be the consensus that there were real problems solved by non-classic init systems, of which there were several decent options, systemd being the most popular but also the most controversial. I think there are serious problems with systemd and I want a decent featureful init / boot-ordering system, but given the choice between classic init and systemd I'd definitely pick systemd.

As an example of the most basic improvements over classic init, here's a paper from 2001 from OpenBSD about dependency-based init with no runlevels: https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/usenix01/freenix01/full_...

Since this is Debian-based, does "classic init" in this context mean they're using insserv? That's definitely not "classic," but it's definitely a better option IMO. If so, are they interested in helping out with maintaining insserv in Debian? It hasn't seen a maintainer upload for almost five years, and help is requested: https://bugs.debian.org/834284
Agreed on PIA being good with no major issues here either
Given that 'The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely defined group of people' it's great for suggestive hinting while not having to bother to define terms.

Oh yeah, by the way 865356743, legit news agencies are citing THIS video. Gotta kill this story now, right?! Can you somehow get this video censored for 'insensitive' speech?

If the other cores aren't doing useful work they'll be powered down to let the remaining core run faster. Not perfectly but the extra millimeters of surface contact with the cooler the extra cores provide probably makes them a net benefit in that case.

The other hostility being that HTTPS bundles encryption with identity verification. The fact that we've bundled the practical ability to encrypt your site with a 3rd party gatekeepers is really off-putting to people.

A self-signed cert could be supported and effectively trust on first use like SSH and have the same trust model as a DV cert.
That's an insult to Jan Palach. I doubt any of the critics of Google have the same level of conviction.

Good list, I'd also say permissions. The number of problems I fix by understanding users/groups and assigning the appropriate permission (not `chmod 777 *`) is huge. It shows up in a variety of "Cannot access file" type messages or "File does not exist" application errors and people sometimes freak out because the file is there.
I thought so too, but there was one US ISP that started injecting headers.
Not HURD? Quite sad when considering that GNUstep is a GNU project.
"The diversity memo's failing is not the statistics it cites, it is that it furthers the notion that diversity is a set of statistics to control for. True diversity is about ignoring statistics and instead giving every single person the same chances, regardless of where they came from."

Your point is the memo failed because it makes exactly your point - that people should be treated like individuals rather than their group's statistical means.

I'm curious if you've even read it.

From this article, it sounds like they have a very specialized GPU-accelerated brute force mechanism for local database backups?

Assuming they have something like rainbow tables for short passwords on all of these managers, it still seems like it would take a very long time to correctly guess longer master passwords (say 20+ characters). No?

Well, I agree. Capitalism may not need proprietary software. I was mostly exploring rglullis's hypothesis above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14977956

I do see many problems with capitalism itself, though, so I didn't word my initial comment as well as I should have. I should have said "it would indicate a problem with capitalism".
I started a blog (this week) focusing on how retail investors can get exposure to startups and other private companies, which are normally reserved for VC and institutional investors.

The ultimate goal is how can we, as startup employees and enthusiasts manage our own risk? Since we are heavily exposed to risk in ways other players in this space aren't (because we work for one company at a time, and they invest in many).

Not sure where it's going to take me yet.

Really? From Wikipedia:

"Spencer and others have said that he created the term 'alt-right', which he considers a movement about white identity. Breitbart News described Spencer's website AlternativeRight.com as 'a center of alt-right thought.'"

This matches with what I know. White supremacy was also featured prominently in the sidebar of /r/altright before it was banned.
GNUstep is like a barn find Corvette. Sure it has rust on the frame and the paint is ugly and the upholstery ruined. However, it's low miles on the original engine. With a bit of work could be an extremely valuable show car.

I feel like cars make a better analogy.
An ISP would have to get you to install a cert if they tried something like man-in-the-middle.
Weirdly enough when trying to install wmaker on debian it seems that it does not depend on any GNUstep packages. Indeed, it seems to be using libwutil5 instead.
I was looking to build myself a new (Dual) Xeon workstation, but looking at these specs and performance, I am going to consider threadripper instead.

With this many threads, ECC support and 64 PCIe lanes this CPU looks perfect for my intended workload. It's also gonna be slightly cheaper than a dual xeon.

It would be great if I could remove overlapping triangles then I would have near linear growth of triangles for larger images. But it's very hard to come up with a technique which removes the same overlapping triangles (and leaves the same one) and is invariant to 2D affine transformations.

For example if you have 50 overlapping triangles you have to decide which 49 to remove and you have to remove the same 49 on the query image and the matching image. But because we want to be able to do our searches in sublinear time we can't compare the two images and decided on which triangles should stay/be removed, you have to do all that in preprocessing before inserting into the database/querying. delaunay triangulation looks almost perfect but isn't invariant to 2D affine transformations
This is like complaining that our mouths can only make 1 word sound at a time.

How can you have a nuanced debate with a serial device? It just won't work.
> I agree, but that difference would not itself make me change my position.

You're considering things from a formal perspective rather than a practical one.

In theory the fact that someone unjustly attacked you should not change your positions on anything, but it may reasonably cause you to stop associating with them.

And associating with different people will cause you to hear different arguments, which is likely to change your positions because it changes the ratio of convincing arguments you hear from each side.

> The problem is that you can use unprovable statements to justify anything.

This is exactly why we can't shut down conversations the way Google did. Saying line employees are unqualified but Google executives are qualified to judge truth is very stifling to rational thinking and, yes, diversity that actually means something.

But nobody really believe that Google leadership is the best arbiter of diversity. Otherwise, everyone would be telling those class action discrimination lawsuits to pack up and go home.

So what do you think? Does Google leadership have a monopoly on public thought? Do the employees release all expectations of fair treatment when they sign an employment agreements?
Exactly.

Would I like to be nuked? No.

The big reason to have a loud exhaust is to keep people in cars from changing lanes into the space you're occupying.

Loud exhausts on bikes basically a natural reaction to the improved sound deadening and deeper seating position over time. Vehicle changes have caused a reduction in situational awareness for what's going on beside you and bikers toss on loud exhausts because they notice a correlation between a window thumping exhaust not and not getting merged on top of. While I prefer a quiet exhaust (because stupid people think loud = driving too fast) I wholly understand why motorcyclists want people to know if they are in their blind spots.

Your big brother camera idea sounds like a great way to screw over everyone who's muffler rusts off and has to drive it like that for a week (who vastly outnumber people with loud exhausts in terms of vehicle miles). They like the noise even less than you do (they have to spend more time with it) and piling on doesn't help that. Vehicle noise isn't really a big enough problem to warrant more government involvement than already exists.

The best way to avoid listening to loud exhausts in residential neighborhoods is to not have unnecessary stops/speed bumps to "control traffic speed" (or whatever other justification the HOA cooks up). They just make people accelerate between them.
lots of cars have this today
You probably also want to be up-wind, so that you don't get any fallout.

But yeah, a single nuke isn't close to an endgame, certainly not those suitcased sized nukes we were all so afraid of. To end the world you need massive numbers of nukes, or live in a small country.
Forgive the naive question, but would 2FA completely mitigate this attack, assuming that the org trying to access a key vault did not have access to the 2FA device?
Your reply imputed beliefs to me that I don't hold. I wasn't handwaving anything away. I was pointing out that, especially for non-humans, life already is terrifying and that, e.g. drone warfare, isn't more terrifying than say any other kind of warfare, of which there are numerous instances occurring now and that the idea that "if we actually thought about what that meant, it's pretty terrifying" isn't obviously correct.

I, or anyone else, can't be terrified of seeing an animal eaten alive by another?

Anything short of witnessing someone die in a bomb blast isn't 'terrifying'?

What I did not write that you claim I did – "oh well, just like anything else" – seems like something you're pushing in your reply. Are you not claiming that drone warfare is terrifying, just as much as "seeing your mother being bombed to shreds" or of "being in a concentration camp". My comment that "terrifying is ordinary" was because of, e.g. concentration camps, i.e. drone warfare isn't any more terrifying than lots of other terrifying things and that because of those facts, living in a state of constant terror is defeat.

How do you even presume to know what I've personally witnessed?

> For a story about sci-fi, there's a lot of professed lovers of it who would make someone like Isaac Asimov or Frank Herbert outright puke. You have no imagination, you have no guts, you have no sense of your own responsibility. You're someone great people write about, not for. Take it personal, but divide it up by dozens of people in this thread, all of whom warrant no more words than these.

Are multi-processing and e10s separate things?

How do you forcefully enable it? 5/7 of my addins are listed as Legacy so I am still in single process mode, I am dying to try multi-process!

EDIT: See here: https://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/

EDIT 2: Doesn't seem to work, for me anyways. It appears to be enabled in about:config but I only see one process running in task manager.

EDIT 3: I lied, it does work, 8 processes running now.

ALSO: Does anyone know if tree-style tabs will be made compatible, or if there is something comparable that is?

How to Deal with Stress in Life
On the gamedev subreddit, it seems most questions are around how to market and get exposure for your game, SEO, making a successful kickstarter, etc.

It's great to take a step back and just make something that people enjoy, even if it does not bring any income. Getting "fanmail" or seeing the # of hours someone has put into something you've made is a great feeling.

As long as you have a day job that pays the bills, I say go for it.
I'm using Startpage since about 1.5 months ago. A tad slower but I like it and it gives me good results.

hey guys

you might have seen my previous projects https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13960214
and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14409255

I've basically combined those ideas into a logo design tool. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions or comments!
I mean, it's a tradeoff. It will always be a tradeoff, so the answer you're going to get is "never". There will always be less cores vs higher base clock (i'd imagine).

However, the clock speeds of ryzen/tr/epyc/whatever are more than enough for a "good" workload. In fact you could argue that unless you're doing something which requires only one single core (and honestly, I can't envisage a workload like this in a professional environment, but i'm surely wrong) the speed is fantastic and not really noticeable.

It's incredibly easy these days, at least in .NET, to parallelize workloads locally, so using something like this would outshine any 4ghz base 8 core any day of the week. But to actually answer your question as to when can we see 4ghz+ base clocks on 16/32 core processors...the next 5 years? I guess...
I wonder if these were included in the DMCA: unknowntray.com , broadboundary.com , anxiousapples.com , boilingbeetle.com , ... ( https://www.threatcrowd.org/domain.php?domain=functionalclam... )

If safety was the most important thing, everyone would be driving the same car, no one would be driving motorcycles, and no one would get on the freeway with an SUV.

Other factors like available seating, looks, price, and creature comforts often take precedence over safety in the minds of many consumers.
I also use startpage 99% of the time. It relies (entirely) on google, though.
I'm confused since the article never highlights any of the facts about the strength of the master password used to protect the vault. Of course a weak master password can easily be broken with an offline GPU accelerated attack.

Ah. Thanks. So the idea is to stop the user before they get that far, I suppose.
