All this crypto currency mining and speculation is a perverse form of wasting resources. While most people talk about energy conservation others keep buying hardware they don't need to burn electricity 24/7 so they can "create" made up resources to sell to other speculators online.

> Say you have 4 cores, 1 would be dedicated to GC

In my opinion, idiomatic golang is not that GC heavy. A slice (a bit like ArrayList) of structs can be a contiguous chunk of memory as opposed to array of object references, which requires allocating each object separately.

There are an order of magnitude less allocated objects than in Java for example. (Perhaps the situation will change once Java gains value types in maybe Java 9).
It's all quite baffling, because they could instead of invested some of those megabillions in extending their reach into low-carbon energy sources, embracing the new world and continuing to exist.

I think this is needless alarmism. I am glad due process was followed, and what was previously a grey area has now been made clear.

You must read the judgement & the cases they cite before making such blanket, unsubstantiated assertions. There's been a history of cases that this judgement rests on, many of which guided & led to the conclusions drawn by this 9 panel of judges. [1]

I don't understand what value a blanket statement such as this adds to the conversation. Do you believe things were better in the 1970s? 1980s? If so, please substantiate your belief with evidence.

Do you subscribe to the trivial, cynical notion that our society is going to dogs? if so, let us have a conversation on why I disagree. But seemingly empty, vacuous but emotive statements such as these do not necessarily lend themselves to constructive discussion, IMO.

I like them personally (ASCII Diagrams), but creating them is very difficult. I'm rarely concerned with getting them to other formats, my goal when creating them was a text representation.

I use Monodraw to draw mine, fwiw. It also outputs images/svg/etc if you like.
I'm not sure that I have understood.

I was referring to this sequence of events:
1) 2-way mirroring across 2 drives
2) one drive fails
3) buy and plug a new drive
4) rebalance to have 3-way mirroring across 3 drives (with one being out): this is currently not possible
5) remove the failed drive, ending with 2-way mirroring across 2 drives

But it seems that you are referring to:
1) 2-way mirroring across 3 drives
2) one drive fails
3) rebalance to have 2-way mirroring across the 2 working drives
4) remove the failed drive, ending with 2-way mirroring across 2 drives

I assume that people don't/won't start the initial RAID1 with 3 drives.

Anyway, I would find 3-way mirroring across 3 drives very useful as it gives a simple identical foolproof process to replace a faulty hard drive, whether it has just a few corrupted data (but still readable) or have completely failed : just plug a new drive, rebalance, reboot and remove the defective drive.
The article recognizes this and mentions specific regulations to cut in order to reduce administration (at least for the UK).
Could any share of this be due to fringe far-left groups targeting minorities for their "fuck everything about the system and STEM education is bad" recruitment campaigns?
An unfortunate side effect of the recent ICO boom, specifically the many "altcoins" built on ethereum, is a conflation of terms between "altcoin" and "smart contract," and therefore also what it means to "mine" a coin.

Yes, these ethereum "altcoins" are just as tradeable as any other crypto coin. However, it would be more accurate to refer to them as "smart contracts," because you cannot "mine" them in the traditional sense of redirecting CPU cycles.

Let's define "mining" an altcoin as receiving that altcoin in exchange for services. For example, you can "mine" BTC or ETH by providing the service of compute cycles. Then how do you "mine" an altcoin that is really an ethereum smart contract? The service could literally be anything, depending on the contract. It could mean anything from leasing disk space, to freelance programming.

If you have a generic mining rig setup, you can probably redirect it to mine ETH, BTC, or any CPU based proof-of-work coin. But your CPU can't freelance for people. It can't lease disk space. It can't fulfill any arbitrary ethereum contract.

There needs to be a distinction between the term "altcoin" and "smart contract," because even though you can trade them both on exchanges, the process for receiving the coin in exchange for services can vary widely. It's misleading to refer to "mining BTC" and "mining <insert smart contract here>" as interchangeable ideas.

I don't understand why people create these webpages just re-explaining stuff that can be read in a book, lecture notes (usually available freely online), or wikipedia. It just adds more noise to the internet. Is it a kind of marketing thing to show their customers that they know what they are doing?
I apologize, not to be overly skeptical, but we don't know how many tabletop games the OP would have created if the internet was kept on. If it was something like 7-9, then the effect of not having internet as a distraction would be minimal.

But that may be just me; I'm always skeptical of statements of the sort of "I turned off internet/facebook/friends/etc. for a year, and look how much different life is". They may be true, but they are not generally true. I use the internet a lot and I also read a lot of paperbacks.
Ethereum is still more than worth it for me. At my electricity rates (which are a hair above the national average), it costs me very roughly $1 a day (I calculated actual usage numbers a bit ago for various algorithms but I don't have them on hand) to run an old R9 390 I had laying around (and the 390 is a VERY power hungry card).

Hashing Ethereum, i'm making around $2 USD per day from that card. Hashing ZCash I'm making about $1.70 USD a day from that card. (both without any real optimizations). Also that's pre-power-consumption-cost, so the "profit" is $1/day and $0.70/day respectively.

There are others which cut it even closer, but there are other people who live in areas with cheaper power that make even those worth it.

It's not the cash-cow it was in it's hayday where people were making $5-10 per card in some cases, but for me it's still a nice $200 a month in profit in my bank account from just older equipment I had laying around and about $100 in parts and stuff to run it in my garage. Accounting for the several hours I put into setting it up makes the money less worth it, but it was fun for me to do so I'm happy with it.

It has always been something of a mystery to me that billions of dollars of revenues are somehow extracted from the internet in this form.

My reaction to advertising in all forms is visceral and strong. I don't really understand it, but I know that I am willing to go to some lengths to avoid it. Reading HN threads over the years has shown me that I'm not alone.

For this reason, I've come to believe that this era of internet advertising will be a brief flash in the pan of history. I have no idea what the next step will be, but it's hard for me to imagine the future internet being one held up by something that is genuinely despised by so many.

Mass quantities of free, mediocre quality content will give way to something else in this new equilibrium. But what will pay for all the infrastructure? All a subject for science fiction writers at the moment.

I find it a bit strange to be called out for being 'overly agressive and hyperbolic' when that is in fact exactly how I feel about AMP in the first place, it is an overly agressive move by an extremely large company and my post is just one individual opinion which is - pre-emptively at that - already going to be ignored.

As for the job insult: there are plenty of UI/UX issues that Google could fix tomorrow if they wanted but instead they chose to work on this abomination and on top of that caused a bunch of work for companies well outside the Google ecosystem just to make things work that weren't broken before. That's a very inefficient way to allocate one's resources even at the scale of Google.

Finally, DanG has written a lot about the 'principle of charity', it appears to me that you have done everything that you could in order to take the very least charitable view of my comment and then you attack me on that interpretation.

I care about the web, in a way that I don't care about much else (HN maybe), and any and all attempts to subvert it should - in my opinion, which you are free to ignore - be fought tooth and nail lest we lose what came at a pretty great price. If you're comfortable with walled gardens and with large corporations gobbling up more and more of the open web to put it behind their store fronts then that too is fine with me. But you're not going to shut me up on this subject, nor am I going to moderate my language because you feel I should. Take the tone as a measure of my feelings on the subject.

I remember talking to somebody about this ages ago. I said exactly the same thing, a computer that is offline is of no use to me. Like a big expensive paperweight. That was also back in dial-up times with a 64k connection... (We had ISDN back then and i felt like a king when i discovered you could use both of our Channel Sand double the download speed! I was also pretty young back then...)

The thing is, we didn't even have internet access at home that long at that point. The transformation of my computer from a box of wonder without any connection, which i could spend hours in front of, to a mere gateway to the net, which seemed useless without connection, was very rapid and basically hasn't reverted to this day.

Needless to say i'm a pretty heavy internet user and smartphones with mobile connectivity have definitly taken that to another level. And i can't say that my attention span has benfited from that... These days I try to use the web less and get back to offline activities like reading books again.

This is an application issue, not a brokre/daemon issue. The broker will (as dbus-daemon(1)) does, deliver all signals that clients subscribe to. If they subscribe to things they don't care about, that is something that should be fixed in the clients. During the kdbus times, quite some time was spent on fixing clients to avoid too broad subscriptions exactly to fix the issue described in that blog post.
Almost certainly not, since they are by definition fringe groups, and most people aren't on the fringe.

This sounds like an issue with the public elementary and secondary education systems more than anything else -- affirmative action can only do so much for those that qualify, but if eligibility does not increase in lock step with population then there are some basic problems that need to be addressed.

Perhaps college endowment funds[1] should invest in supporting elementary and secondary education systems rather than private equity.

How many freshmen are children of first-generation immigrants? The percentage likely pales in comparison to children of second-generation immigrants as climbing the financial ladder is (generally speaking) a basic requirement to raising children than can attend college as well as having the capability to fund their attendance.

"The petitioners, former Karnataka high court judge Justice K.S. Puttaswamy and others, had contended that the biometric data and iris scan that was being collected for issuing Aadhaar cards violated the citizen’s fundamental right to privacy"

I find the above interpretation of privacy troubling. In order for the government to effectively distribute social services to the needy, cutting out corrupt/inefficient middlemen, it needs a way of effectively verifying someone's identity, so that people can't dual-enroll themselves. Having people provide biometric identifies such as Iris scans, if they want to qualify for government services, seems like a perfectly reasonable way to do this. I would also contend that when most people declare the importance of privacy, they are talking about their actions and lifestyle, not fingerprints or Iris scans. It would be sad if this ruling prevents the government from efficiently providing social services to help the poor.
Nicehash is slightly more stable but you end up in a similar situation since the price per Mhash fluctuates in the same way. If you examine the profitability chart it's all based on historical prices:

https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc

That's usually fine for the bigger, more established alts (since the known alts use the known algos - DaggerHashimoto, Equihash etc), but not for the alts which can potentially generate the most profit in shorter periods of time. So if a coin that uses some obscure algo gets pumped for a few days it's going to skew the chart.

The real benefit of Nicehash is that it's more accessible for people who are new to crypto mining. If you work out the numbers, mining ETH (for example) directly is almost always more profitable than using Nicehash. Nicehash is just simpler and more convenient.
No doubt this is because of the ever increasing cost of going to college in the USA. This favors kids with parents that can pay for some part it, and black and hispanic households tend to have less money than other etnic groups.
Amazing to see what a steep drop of whites each of those charts show, in many cases their share more than halving in as little as 35 years. And despite such a dramatic decrease, it still doesn't keep pace with the demographic changes.

Multipool mining is nothing new, so it should be known that Minergate has a shaky reputation.

My independent analysis of it is that there exists merely an optimization on your mining yield by not using Minergate, but you will have to do that calculation yourself based on your mining hardware, electricity costs and throughput, and determine if the convenience makes up for the possibilities of alleged resource theft.

Mining pools pay out directly to any designated address, and so they don't store your earned funds at all. The risk of impropriety is very low, but miner's yields are also low enough that they would still complain about minor variances in mining pools.
It finished a long time ago but "this developers life" was really good
I think its more that originally GPU compute proved that deep nets are possible to train and give good results which lead to more research on them and the development of things like ReLU and ResNets.
From the article:

> The share of black freshmen at elite schools is virtually unchanged since 1980. Black students are just 6 percent of freshmen but 15 percent of college-age Americans

Leading to an "underrepresentedness" figure of -9 (or -10 on the graph in the article, which is probably due to rounding).

But that's a stupid way of calculating underrepresentedness. E.g. if a group has 8 % of the population but none go to university they would be underrepresented by -8, less than blacks but clearly 8->0 is a much larger diparity than 15->6.

Long winded aside: Provided we can get some more high-capacity, high-frequency, separated-infrastructure transit going, I'm all for more concentration in Seattle proper. Amazon catches flak for their South Lake Union campus, but as a person with a background in urban planning, they did the responsible thing. A suburban office park would have been the irresponsible thing.

In the ~decade that I've been here, Seattle is already vastly changed from what it was. In general, I think that's fantastic, we just need to do better at making sure that our rising tides raise all boats—in other words, we need to do better at housing affordability for everyone note working in tech. In the Bay Area, we have a cautionary tale. We can do this.

For a lot of people, true hands-off autonomous driving on limited access divided highways is by itself a huge convenience feature and, potentially, a huge safety feature. And this seems like relatively low hanging fruit. People will pay for this. (And are, in a limited way, on more and more cars today.)

It's not sexy and doesn't fulfill autonomous taxis everywhere fantasies but for the vast majority of people who don't live in or near urban cores it would likely be a significant quality of life improvement.
