> And then I asked, why would one need a "list of activities" to make that point? I don't see how that would work, seeing how those activities also have contexts and motivations which matter.

All right. I will give it a last try. You would need a "list" if you are the one making a point that hiding your gut is just dignity while posting your abs online is narcissism. I was pointing out to parent poster that this point is not conducive as your are defining dignity and narcissism to suit your point of view. I don't understand how you missed it when it's written verbatim in the comment you replied to.

> Your comment was an own goal, I'm just beating a dead horse.

And here we go again. You think of something and put it down in your comment irrespective of context. What dead horse are you beating and why does this phrase make an appearance out of blue here?

> It's more mocking people who I consider lame.

At least we have the same agenda here. I too enjoy mocking bottom feeders who write diatribes out of their jealousy for people leading a better and more fulfilled lives than them.

> Which brings us back to your projected "Now you are making up arguments on my behalf and posting your retorts." haha.

Again, I am sure you think you have a point here and I am supposed to have an epiphany when I grok it, but honestly, all I see is random sentences chained together. I once saw a video of some pastor who brought a rock to a talk show as an irrefutable proof against evolution. I am kinda feeling the same as the talk host felt.

Cool man. You do you. Continue "caring for others" by, uh, posting comments on hn I suppose, and "being better", uh, again by posting comments on hn.

Because "globalism" is a misnomer, it's shorthand for "economic globalism". Economic globalism is the exploitation of the masses by opening the borders for trade and desirable workers, whilst keeping them closed for the 99% of this planets population.

That's the kind of "globalism" the tech elite supports. They love to hide behind closed borders when it protects their wealth and power.

Those "same class of people" have always supported true globalism for the people in terms of a complete removal of borders. Don't blame them because greedy neoliberals have hijacked the term globalism.

Given that Microsoft is one of largest contributor to linux, I would not blame them for not contributing also where Linux directly competes with them. They would absolutely deserve criticism if they restart ugly fud campaigns again. But as of now, the two seem to be at peace.
Interestingly enough, I submitted something similar yesterday, about another open-source commenting system with different features: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15242630 — it got zero upvotes, although i think it's a bit interesting to read, for those interested in online comments. And the Mozilla post got > 500. Interesting how HN works, ... and the accumulation principle.
The only moral way of providing healthcare is based upon need not ability to pay.

If you introduce any pay structure into healthcare you are saying that those with money can reserve scarce resources ahead of those without.

You are saying rich people are more important than the poor and the poor should die more quickly to get them out of the way.

If you live in a society that takes that view, how long before you become the poor?

I wonder how much tax revenue the EU would have lost if Google and Facebook didn't exist.
Microsoft never made any change to its core strategy. There is no alternative platform to run Windows applications with official Microsoft support (you can name a couple exceptions, they are exceptions, e.g. SQL Server), there is no way for average developers to read Windows/Office source code. That is the best proof.

Windows for Linux Nerds? I run 5 Linux machines in my study room, Microsoft would be charging me thousands of $ for Windows Server licenses, I read source code of the software I am using on daily basis, Microsoft wouldn't let me do that. Every code of weeks, I hack the software I use and share the changes with others, Microsoft lawyers are not going to be happy if I choose to do that on Microsoft software.

Windows for Linux Nerds? Microsoft is not ready for that, Microsoft never had the intention to do.
That is a very good point. They should be grateful for these multi-nationalistic monopolies. /s
Tribes 1 was the first FPS I played after about...Star Wars Dark Forces, I think. It's the first game that I had the opportunity to play on a LAN, and it's the first game that I remember using mouselook in.

We had a community center near home, with about 10 gaming PCs. Tribes was a huge favorite, especially with all the different mods that were available.

We switched almost completely to AVP when that came out, though.
Data was never the issue for neural nets. It was the compute power required to run them. The most popular image recognition dataset today was mostly taken pre-smartphones.
This isn't the point here though? These companies are doing business in the EU and not playing fair by not paying their share of taxes. This isn't about preventing them from existing, it's about making them contribute what they owe to the EU countries.

Imagine: your presentations stored in plain text, in a human readable format that you can edit in your favorite editor, manipulate with a rich library of text editing tools and even version control. Powerpoint would be a silly proposition if that existed!

One caveat though, object creation with `__slots__` is a bit slower than "normal" objects, if I remember my past Python benchmarks correctly.
again - a closed system with no public access to its full tech details. its completeness can not be reviewed by the community, its security model is unknown to the general public, its reliability is a big question marks.

what is worse - it charges you an arm and leg for running that joke on modern hardware. Rather than providing people with more tech details so the so called products can be better used in real life, it has a 30+ pages Licensing Guide telling people how Microsoft is going to screw them financially in different ways.

it is not "for Linux", every single aspect of the "software" described in that link against the fundamental values of Linux.

SQL Server for Linux is nothing else but a joke, those working on that projects in Microsoft should feel sad for the fact that they work in such an socially isolated team/company.

It's hard for Windows to realistically compete with Linux as a developer environment.

GNU/Linux and userland software is made by developers for developers, and a lot of it is open source. If you are a developer, on Linux sky is the limit. Everything can be played with. On Windows that's not the case. Many areas are off-limits and you don't get to see how they work, and you cannot change them if you need to.

Then, Microsoft can sunset a project at any time, and that's final. In the open source world an orphaned project can always be forked or picked up by someone else.
What gives the EU the right to think they can tax our networks?

Do you have a citation wherein encryption is treated like a safe or are you like most people kind of winging it?

I know they can't open a safe or for that matter a door without a court order. The point was that the comparison between forcing open a safe and forcing someone to produce a passphrase was meaningless because the apparently treacherous question of compulsion to testify against yourself wouldn't be tested when I drill could do the job.

I am not a lawyer but I know enough to know that most people in most discussions are full of it and know little. What actually is mysterious is why people believe that their nonexistent expertise adds to the discussion.

Imagine if the matter were technical and a bunch of non tech people, say the kind who get confused about ram and storage, referring to both as memory,or call the entire thing the cpu were volunteering different insights into the question at hand. It would be useless in a funny sort of way.
Just stating how much taxes are being "avoided" is an imperfect perspective. If, say, it turned out they contributed $100B to the economy, then that $5B wouldn't look that big in that context.
There's no such thing as "digital revenue" - all this money comes from the real economy.

No.

Geekbenchmark is a bad test. It does a series of short burst tests spaced out over time. These avoid harsh thermal throttling on mobile devices, yet on larger desktops they don't register as a heavy workload so the maximum clock doesn't come into play. Bigger chips will stay down clocked.

Effectively what Geekbenchmark's result ends benchmarking sleep state transition speed.

Desktop/Laptops don't spin up/down as fast as cellphones so this heavily favors them. Just doing a continuous long test would heavily favor desktops/laptops as they have better designed heatsinks.

---

iPhones do have great processors, just fair mobile/desktop test are very hard. They are different chips, that require different power, change clock states in different ways, and have different thermal constraints.

The core workloads in most scenarios are very different, so fair for one isn't fair for another.
Cantor is playing by the exact same rules that you are. His burden is: given an integer i, produce in finite time the i'th digit of a real not in your list. (He can't produce the whole thing in finite time because it's infinite, obviously.) He does this by using your algorithm to produce the i'th digit of the i'th row and adds one to it (mod 10).

If you are in the UK you will be working with GCHQ/MI5, if you are in the US it will be NSA/CIA, if you are in Russia it will be FSB, etc
Is the EU tax based on revenue instead of profit?

Or is basing it on revenue in this instance just supposed to make the "percentage paid" smaller to make FB and Google look worse?
Yeah, but that is the thing ... I never wanted to customize the look and have zero willingness to spend more then a second on it. I want it to look acceptable out of box, but dont care about details. I suspect most people are like that. I thought I dont care how things look until I installed linux distro at home years ago and seen how it looks without tweaking. And I was unable to make it nicer, not because configuration would be hard, but because I am not artist and dont know how to make nice.

It does matter how the whole looks to the user and linux was never really good at.
> "but I don't understand what's wrong about the old advertising model... just charge more. Direct advertising on reddit seems like it should be very lucrative. Couldn't they also sell trackers"

There have been complaints of reach being too low, so I could see the line of thought with making the broader targeting the default. Brand advertisers often don't care as much about the context (as long as it is brand safe) and care more about the person. It can lead to some issues, but allows targeting at much greater scale because of the inventory it opens up. I agree with other comments though that they should leave it as an advanced targeting option. Not every advertiser performs the same, and some do much better in a narrowly-configured contextual targeting setup.

> "The content creators aren't wrong, are they?"

I don't think they are. But it isn't that black and white in reality. Many would not be where they are today without Reddit existing as a platform for them to grow their audiences. I think they and Reddit are somewhat symbiotic and a better balance could be reached.
Sure, they are researching similar stuff, but is it really the same kind of Retina projection Magic leap is doing? That seems to be like their main selling point, of course if Apple can replicate the same tech and have all of their experience from software, Magic Leap will be DOA
Yeah you can run actual server daemons on MacBook pro wsl seems to be geared towards nodejs and rails development on windows, docker is far more useful for real work you can even run docker from wsl so while I make heavy use of docker as my employer forces the use if windows 10, wsl is useless for developing daemons and micoservices compared to docker for Windows 10 pro
The rate approximates 10% so maybe thats the taxable amount vs the payed taxed amount in headline.
There are two main reasons:

1. net-tools is a completely separate project while iproute is closely related to the kernel. On FreeBSD, userland is kept in sync with kernel.
2. ifconfig output was parsed by programs and difficult to extend without breaking everything. iproute output is extensible and less likely to break programs.

As a side node, net-tools development has resumed recently. Output of ifconfig has changed but not much else. https://sourceforge.net/p/net-tools/mailman/message/35509868...

Transistor count is a limited metric. That said, the A11 supposedly has 4.3 billion transistors, which is more than IBM's 12-core POWER8 chip's count. Apples to oranges, since the A11 has far more application-specific circuitry and much lower power consumption & clock speed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count

Ps: should be noted that the embedded GPU in the A11 contributes many transistors.
The "\r" in the format string for the number is carriage return. It ensures that as long as you print to terminal rather than redirect to file etc., the number gets overwritten if anything else gets printed on the same line.

WSL was the result of Microsoft looking to run Android apps in Windows Mobile. Eventually they dropped the effort, and rescue it to execute docker containers on Windows.
Didn't stop that lawsuit either.
I always struggle with this logic. Is your argument that if 100B EUR in Facebook ads were sold (presumably the way in which Facebook 'contribute'), then this 100B was 'created' by Facebook? I imagine other measures would be proxies for Facebook's profits too (e.g. some portion of engineers' salaries to go private landlords).

Isn't this reverse-progressive taxation? If Facebook were outraged at paying taxes enough to shut up shop in Europe, wouldn't that 100B (or something like it) still be kicking around, just in different hands?
In a way i find it fascinating how much an entertainment business like Gaming can contribute to overall technology advancements. AI/ML is just one of the latest fields that benefits immensely from game technology.
Programmers' First Projects (Google, Programmers' Day '17)
Yes! I primarily develop on Linux, but lately have been working on Windows porting. In many ways the WSL has been a massive savior. It makes developing on Windows at least possible for Linux users. But it's sooo slooow.

The performance bottlenecks I hit seem to be disk i/o related. Things from path tab completion on the command line, to Vim's YouCompleteMe compiling code in the background, to a plain "git status", are just painfully slow right now.

If Microsoft can fix these performance issues, and someone ships a better terminal replacement (currently using ConEmu, also has issues), developing on Windows would be almost painless for Linux users (after learning how to integrate projects with Visual Studio...though I've read VS 2017 has better cmake integration).
It is more or less based on OS X audio, yes. The author of the Web Audio spec previously was an architect on Core Audio at Apple. He basically moved over to Google, implemented his chosen subset of Core Audio in webkit, and shipped it prefixed. Then the evangelism group got big players like Rovio to ship apps that depended on the half-baked prefixed API so it was the de-facto standard for game SFX on the web.
Clojure provides a var called warn-on-reflection that can be set to true during dev, and all (or a vast majority of) reflective calls can be optimized away by adding type hints wherever it warns. This is to say that Clojure devs get rid of reflection instead of trying to make it faster.
It's open source, it have a long history and is called WINE.
That's entirely beside the point. I was 't talking about what happens to you, as a user. I was talking about what happens to Apple. Apple knows when its stuff is going to break. System76, in some ways, may not always know. That makes it hard for them to provide guarantees.
Or philosophy. Ultimately you get to choose your religion.
Yeah, the "bluetooth" module is one of several that I disable ("install bluetooth /bin/true" in /etc/modprobe.d/disabled.conf) but -- from a paranoid security perspective -- I'd much prefer to not have the software installed in the place. I also have BT disabled in the BIOS. Many, many years ago I'd compile my own kernels and leave out all the stuff I didn't want but that's not worth my time nowadays.
Emacs gives me RSIs due to the awkward chording. I love the idea of Emacs, but the reality is too painful. I love Vim though.
