SHA-NI on ryzen is pretty fast... about 2 cycles per byte on large inputs.

It didn't use to be such a large difference but we optimized everything else... :)

Now only if Intel would ship SHA-NI in a CPU worth using.

I agree with you that the SEC is there to protect the public.

You are incorrectly saying that ICOs are a Ponzi scheme. When they are in fact too new to be labeled as anything. If they were in fact all Ponzi Schemes then people would already be in jail.

Secondly the SEC is there to balance both sides of the equation. Companies interests and the public dumping money into scams.
If you work at Y Combinator, then yes, you can give people permission to walk into the offices.

If you don't work at YC, then you can't. But that's not what happened here. People who legally rented an apartment invited guests to live there. Nobody trespassed. But the people who sublet the apartment probably violated the terms of the lease, and caused the landlord to be in violation of Miami Beach rental laws.
I'm not sure those are documentaries so much as fiction. Not to say it's inaccurate storytelling, but it's definitely not a documentary
The original post and yours complement each other very well, thanks for the information!
I've been following this closely, and having read everything Slaughter writes, I don't see how you can come down so hard against open markets- They exaggerated what happened but the essential facts are never disputed- even in Slaughter's most recent post.

1) Open Markets didn't let Slaughter know they were publishing work critical of Google.

2) Slaughter had to rush to explain the work to Google.

3) Schmidt expressed his displeasure. But didn't directly request anyone be fired

4) Slaughter told Open Markets they had to part ways, and mentioned how OM could make it harder for all of NA to get funding.

Thats the essence of the story, and no one is disputing it, and it strongly indicates New America is heavily influenced by their corporate sponsors.

Where were the exaggerations:

Barry didn't mention that he had aggreed to allow Slaughter to preview work and show it to google before he published. Also, Slaughter didn't outright fire anyone at OM. HOWEVER, Slaughter is bending the truth to imply that Google/Schmidt didn't influence her decision to remove open markets, when the entire scope of problems she has with Barry and OM come from the tension between Google and OM, and Google's desire to see what OM will publish before it becomes public. She writes a lot about how what OM says is false without EVER addressing the core issue! Instead, she tries to get around it by leaning on the fact that she was not commanded to do anything by Google.
$1/watt is the current price for modules and installation, etc. can bring it up to $2-3, but for a large-scale installation of this size I would expect that you could get a discount on the panels and the total cost could be under $2 although I was not able to find any current figures for the going rate Arizona.

What I might be more concerned about is that their agreement to sell power is only for two years. Without storage, they may have a hard time getting good prices for mid-day power in the near future.

Edit: Probably $1.50/watt for utility scale: https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2016/09/29/nrel-u-s-utility-scal...
Yeah - training neural networks and running my 4k main monitor.

Also, the current Ryzens need dedicated GPUs.
The genius idea of bitcoin, afaik, is that Satoshi created a brilliant incentive scheme, which was the reason why the nodes decided to join the network. Without this factor it would have been impossible for bitcoin to grow this far.
And a mutex that you never take is cheaper than one that you do. Taking the (f)mutex is fast but any context switch will be brutal if you're really using threading to increase your performance.

That said I'm used to situations where we're pinning thread affinity to specific cores and really trying to squeeze out what you can from fixed resources.

If that is indeed the case, sabotaging or censoring what somebody has to say only makes you look like your viewpoint is a weak and otherwise indefensible one.
> Since 'fuck' can be interpreted in a sexual context

Agreed. I think he could've simply dropped the u in just the domain name - fcknazis.us - and used f*cknazis in the logo / branding on home page. Or done a play on the word like fcuknazis.us (also just for the domain name :)

Then he might have a stronger case for arguing that fck or fcuk is not sexual.

Update after next-- we'll be doing a short release for segwit support right after 0.15.

Feature freeze for 0.15 (next release) was scheduled on July 16th ( https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9961 ), segwit lock-in wasn't until aug 9th. We'd shortcut the process for a serious emergency, but not for something short of one.

Two quick thoughts.

I very briefly glanced under the technical covers of this campaign. For the curious, citizensagainstmonopoly.org was created 2017-08-10T18:56:36Z. The site was apparently written by middleseat.co - "Middle Seat is a digital marketing, media and organizing firm advocating for progressive candidates and causes." Its principals are the former Bernie Sanders digital and social media directors and advisor (Zack Exley, frm Wikimedia Foundation).

Microsoft has a long history of funding, encouraging, and astroturfing opposition to Google. One easy approach to discouraging this behavior is to make sure Microsoft is mentioned whenever a Google "evil monopoly" campaign goes by. Especially if it mentions Facebook and Amazon as well, but leaves out Microsoft. So I mention it in passing here, mostly to illustrate the approach. I know of nothing connecting Microsoft with the current campaign.

FWIW.

If my bag of potato chips is demonstrably and deliberately harming the lives of many real live people, you are welcome to crush it.

(Not that all corporations harm people. But some combination of "the way we tend to structure them" and "human behavior in large groups" seems to make them a lot more cavalier about collateral harm and negative externalities, particularly as they get big.)

> Every news agency's owners and advertisers influence what they publish.

That answers whether they think it's ethical. However, they weren't asked.
I doubt it's a bubble, considering the deeper population dynamics. Consider the increase in property values in, say, New York during the period of most intense urbanization in the 20c as an analogy.
This is not a "company", it's a government body (the FCC) using a contractor (Neustar) to fulfill one of their obligations (.us TLD). Neustar must operate "constitutionally", otherwise the FCC may not use them.

While it is indeed the "Fuck" that got my domain flagged, the review system should have caught this as obviously protected speech.

You also don't quite understand obscenity, there's no way the Miller test passes for Fuck Nazis. "Fighting Words" is an entirely different concept, and it is highly unlikely that "Fuck Nazis" fails those tests either for a multitude of reasons.
do you read applications from developers at all?
I'm pretty sure you can understand how much of a false equivalency it is to compare a bag of chips with a powerful entity like Google.
Deep Learning from Scratch: Theory and Implementation
You should familiarize yourself with the Miller Test[0] that I cite in the post. Even if it is expressly sexual (e.g., I literally made a degrading pornographic film of Nazis having sex) it would still have an exceedingly strong case under the third prong of the Miller Test.

Insurance companies are actually interested in taking care of their customers after a catastrophic event. It’s core to their business. Faster payment means people can get back on their feet faster and are likely to stay with the company longer.
Would you be interested in listing some non-programming tech channels? EG TheSignalPath for (mostly RF) electrical engineering, Stefan Gotteswinter for machining, etc?
I might try out "I am a strange loop". It's more approachable.
Actually more browsers use Ctrl+Shift+P. Only chrome and its derivatives use Ctrl+Shift+N. And P makes more sense too.
The majority of users care, a lot, about speed

Yeah. I care about browser speed a lot; I'm one of those guys always looking for settings to tweak and measuring results and so forth. I spent I-don't-even-want-to-know-how-many hours a week using a browser so even small improvements become noticeable quality-of-life upgrades.

But, still:

1. Benchmarks are important, but aren't always the best reflection of actual performance, either real or perceived. Subjectively, Safari on Mac and Edge on Windows "feel" fastest to me even though benchmarks say otherwise. Within reason, that's what typical end users care about: "feel" vs. benchmarks. (FWIW, Firefox is my main browser; I'm not telling anybody to use Safari or Edge)

1a. Chrome benchmarks the best, but it also uses the most memory due to its multiprocess model, so for users on memory-constrained devices (particularly with spinning HDDs, where swap's going to be really slow) I'm not convinced reality always lines up with benchmarks here

2. The user's network connection is still usually the biggest factor.

3. I don't think actual site content's getting much heavier. All this extra browser performance is just getting soaked the hell up by heavier and heavier ads. So I can't get as excited about browser performance as I used to.
Although it in a different area of the law, one wonders if the recent trademark ruling might make it's way to FCC rules here.

Slaughter's July 7 email (3rd one on the page) to Lynn says "telling me one thing and doing another was just the last instance of a pattern of behavior that has been troubling to myself and your colleagues for over a year"

In multiple places, she indicates he's been difficult to work with and insubordinate. Probably understandable that a federated institution like New America, with multuple parallel units working on different interests, doesn't want the bullshit a person like that brings into the mix.

As her statement says, they tried to part amicably and leaving Open Markets intact and independent. Looks like Open Markets went for the publicity grab. Doesn't make me a fan.
How are you convincing anyone to pay $150/car when your site says it's free for everyone?
57 nightly feels extremely snappy. Scrolling is no longer janky. The theme is good and sensible (at least on Windows). I am seriously going to try to ditch chrome for this. Yay! The old Firefox is back!
The cost of maintenance is one. The other is getting back bikes that have been misplaced due to bad behaviour.
Are those numbers ball parked or just for example?

The average car loan has a 4% interest rate[1], and the average bank gives a paltry 0.06% interest rate[2].

I agree that if you can make a higher return investment than the rate on your debt, that's certainly profitable. I just disagree that it can be done so passively, at least today.

Credit Growth and the Financial Crisis: A New Narrative [pdf]
Join the club.... looks like every country is full of fucked up "what's in it for me" hipsters that only look out for number one... Wish we could just have aliens attack so we either get killed off or band together form a global gov't of earth that looks out for all citizens (like star trek) - that's resource based (like the venus project)... and people only take/consume what they absolutely need and give back as much as they can...

It's a nice pipe dream...probably not in my life time... I'll be happy if immortality is achieved...
If you're looking for more substantial content there's this series of discussions on youtube (I'd skip the first video):

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNoVefpaPtVOsGyQnpNQR...

And this excellent article in the Yale Law Journal from Open Market's Lina Khan is a discussion on Amazon but is quite detailed and is probably the best argument the Open Markets program has put forward to date:

http://www.yalelawjournal.org/note/amazons-antitrust-paradox

You could also look into Barak Orbach, he's a legal scholar and his website has links to a lot of his articles on antitrust law. The modern anti-monopoly movement is really built around the idea that the courts made a mistake when they bought Robert Bork's (and others) argument that monopoly effects should be judged solely on price effects (obviously a big simplification.)

tl;dr: the biggest growth of mortgage debt during the housing boom came from those with credit scores in the middle and top of the credit score distribution—and these borrowers accounted for a disproportionate share of defaults
You have to pay income tax on the 3% though right? Do you get a tax credit for the interest on the loan?
No clue why you're down voted, but no as of now the source code is not open.

It's a bunch of small / medium sized scripts I've tied together to run the system - I don't think open sourcing it would make sense. Unless of course I spend a bunch of time documenting and structuring the code. Time I unfortunately don't have right now :(

But perhaps in the next couple of months!

Browser Killing It with 60 FPS Complex 3D Scene
Its not about cheap bikes. The bikes break, are destroyed, left somewhere useless/dangerous, or are stolen/confiscated. The investment money that paid for them was leveraged (an investment/loan). The income from the surplus of nearly free bikes can't pay back the investors and retain their ridership. Meanwhile, people who live near a point of interest have to deal with a massive pile of dumped (possibly broken) bikes in front of where they work/live... and they pay a public price.
Right, but the solar panels aren't much use to anyone sitting in a dispatch bay at the manufacturer in China.

You'll probably want to get them freighted to the installation site, screwed down to a support frame, wired up to an inverted, connected to a load and / or the grid.

This may drive the price up somewhat.

> Absent from his case list was any mention of a similar domain seizure being restored after a court injunction or judgement.

I'm not aware of any off the top of my head, but that would be a good one to add if anyone does know.
It makes sense that "legit" sites on tor would also be available on the wider web, they're trying to seek as many viewers as possible and they have nothing to hide. The benefit of offering access over tor is delivered to the end user in the same way the library won't disclose to arbitrary parties the books you've checked out.
Let’s actually name the thing: we’re talking about capitalism. The genius of capitalism is precisely its multiplicative nature.

This is an interesting article but something in particular struck me. Why does almost every public mention of Capitalism in the USA accompanied by some paean to it?

It sounds like A veneration that follows any mention of Mohammad among devout Muslims.

Why does everyone feel they need to give their bona fides? I feel that there are several senses in which it is the official state religion.
You assume that the content of the site is relevant. Do you know this?

If not, it's just as likely (from an outside observers pov) the domain is using 'fuck' as a euphemism for 'have sex with' as it is the one you intended.

In the case where the purpose of the domain is irrelevant and the registration of the domain itself (and its publication to DNS) is the speech in question my armchair assessment is this may actually be untrodden ground.
> People love being locked in.

Are you serious? I think Keurig succeeded because it was able to offset the lock-in with genuine convenience and better coffee than most people were drinking.

If the idea will re-emerge, I'm sure it will be more focused on customer convenience rather than lock-in. Literally every single "feature" of juicero was there to enforce the lock-in. The camera, qr codes, always-on wifi, proprietary bags. It's a miracle the company lasted this long.
Since that was a rephrasing of Schmidt's

> If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

let's apply your "rebuttal" to that then, too:

He means like smuggling food to political prisoners in an oppressive regime? Like hiding Jews in Nazi Germany? An abused child writing a letter to the police? Or even just a desperate prisoner writing a secret diary to hang on to their sanity or memories?

What a bunch of monsters. [super dramatic pause]

Even if you restricted it to wanting "literally nobody" to know (which is nonsense, especially in the context of online communications, so that's just some sophistry on Schmidt's behalf to be corrected by the reader), there's plenty examples to be found.

Compared to all that, bleh to a search engine. Yeah they're useful, but if I had to pick between either using only search, or only word of mouth, link lists and bookmarks, and having the comparison, I'd use the latter.

There is no such substitute for privacy. I would even say your "right" to their services doesn't outweigh the actual rights of others and yourself to liberty and dignity. I'm not saying they necessarily clash, but insofar they do, those are the priorities. Wildly popular, schmildly schmopular. If what some people like is such a great measurement, why are they liking such bad things?
> "Open Source" has a specific definition that is the one from the _OSI_

Do people really associate subprime loans with poor people? This article is the first time I've ever seen subprime described that way. I've always taken it to mean any loan where the borrow is stretching themselves too thin or where there is low or no down payment.
There's also The Coding Train[0]. He does live coding challenges in Processing and JS. Not necessarily the most complex, but fun to watch someone else's thought processes.
So, look at this graph: http://netmarketshare.com/report.aspx?qprid=1&qpaf=&qpcustom...

Notice that major bump in August 2016 and after? Firefox 48 was released on the 2nd August 2016. This was the first release to ship the new multiprocess architecture. And this new architecture also already required breaking all extensions.

They could not have shipped it this early without knowing that the switch to WebExtensions will cut off the multiprocess-incompatible extensions.

And they needed to get multiprocess shipped. Had that graph continued as in the half year before that, we would now have negative user numbers.
> Microsoft has a long history of funding, encouraging, and astroturfing opposition to Google.

What exactly have they done to this effect? The closest I can think of is Scroogled [1], which was pretty transparently a Microsoft marketing campaign. I would hardly characterize it as "astroturfing".

Are you saying they are allocating a separate file-descriptor for each channel just to be able to select? I guess you could do that if you wanted to but it's far from the first thing I would try. I remember reading an article on golang about select and having to traverse the list, but I don't really have the motivation to dig deeper right now.

Looping with unblocking reads is plenty fast enough though.

As for waiting on any event without select, adding an optional condition-variable pointer to each channel that is pinged when data arrives is the easiest approach I can think of.
Well, for biological organisms, it's all about reproductive success. I mean, what exits today reflects what managed to reproduce, and how well. Overall, that has created lots of complexity. But that's just because there are so many niches and ways to be successful in them.

What you say about people reflects cooperative behavior that drives reproductive success for shared gene complexes.

We're scraping a lot of e-commerce sites to grab product info and images. Naturally, we use a scraping service to prevent our IPs from getting blocked. We're using Storm Proxies (https://stormproxies.com/), fyi.

However, I want to be sure before we charge ahead with Storm Proxies that there's not some clearly superior service that we should be using instead.

Other proxy services we've considered are Crawlera, ProxyMesh, and Luminati.

The amount of space taken up by car parking makes me generally unsympathetic to complaints about bike sharing "taking up too much public space" - though perhaps there is less car parking in china.
I don't think that we'd want that sort of AI, as a competitor. But if we could become one, that would be cool.
The issue is not that things break, the issue is that the WebExtensions API is missing a lot of features so a lot of addons can't be ported.
