Intel has a lot of threats lately. Things seem to be moving towards a small die and MCM strategy to get better yields and move investment towards the package and FSB. AMD made a huge investment in that direction with Zen arch and Infinity Fabric - Threadripper's big package and high core count has opened a new tier of enthusiast desktops - and they may have plans for furthering that on the GPU side of things(Vega is positioned for efficiency at lower wattage, which is poorly reflected in the "hot-and-loud" flagship releases. It's expected to pair well with Zen in the forthcoming Raven Ridge APUs though.)

Intel shares with Nvidia(also currently using large dies) a limited form of performance leadership at the high end that may be eroded in the face of these shifts. Most of the market is going to see more benefit from more cores instead of faster cores with the current conditions. That might be less true once we're talking about a baseline of 16 or 32 cores, but 2 is proving to be too few for current workloads.

And that's just their nearest competitor. ARM SOCs have consumed the mobile market and are creeping upwards. My ARM Chromebook makes a pretty good Linux desktop too, and you can practically trip over RaspPi devices.
It's not any less broken on desktops.
Ohh, interesting, that seems to have most of the things I was looking for. Not sure why I missed it when I went looking for one recently. Thanks!
Depends on the day and what I am working on. Maybe I have 10 systems and I use 3 on a given day.

My latest system is a system for browsing hacker news to find content that is actionable (somebody to sell to, somebody to network with, learn something that will really change my marketing, management and software development practices -- not natural disasters, Donald Trump, etc.) I am using it right now.
Standard deviation is lowercase sigma, sum is uppercase sigma. They are not the same.
It's a horribly-written law that would remove the CDA safe harbor from any civil or criminal proceeding in which conduct which would violate federal sex trafficking law is alleged, even if that conduct is not the central thrust of the law being enforced, and even if that conduct isn't actually proven in the legal action. As long as the prosecution is “targeting” conduct violating the federal sex trafficking law, the safe harbor would be removed.

(It's also dishonestly framed as a “clarification” when it's a radical dismantling of one of the core pillars of the CDA.)

Digging a bit, it appears this is funded by an ICO, or at least created by a company currently running an ICO? Too bad that basically short-circuits to "smells fishy" to me right now; hopefully they can pull through and build a track record of credibility.

Why there are two versions.
On the one hand it's great to get Solar below cost _at someone else's_ expense (Chinese over producing manufacturers), on the other hand I'd prefer that some of our own PV mfgs remain afloat.

Ultimately the goal is to wean off of fossil fuels, but if all our R&D is unprofitable we may miss some breakthroughs.
Interesting and plausible criticism. I suspect it's not accurate to characterize Marx as a total determinist either in a sociopolitical sense (I think his "inevitable victory" rhetoric is largely cheerleading and IIRC he acknowledges class warfare could end badly for everybody) or an economic sense, where his observations and criticisms about economic dynamics are no more deterministic than any other economic model (and in fact derived from accepted models).

But I honestly haven't thought much about whether he fully appreciates the risk-bearing role of capital and that seems like an interesting insight worth exploring. You know of any texts/places where people discuss that?
The author has fixed it, and clearly this has been an educational experience. Considering the professionalness of the rest of the app, I get the impression that the author is likely going to factor security considerations into the picture in a big way in the future.
I realize now you may have not understood (because I wasn't clear) when I originally wrote "I setup localhost.dog".

I meant that I registered the domain name, and setup the A,AAAA DNS records (including wildcards) to point to 127.0.0.1.
If I remember correctly you just specify the OnDemandRules key and make its value an empty array.

Yes I have multiple VPN profiles and all of them allows me to specify in Settings whether to "connect on demand."

I liked the article, but I feel like an argument for why you need a clock was really never made.
As a current Native Floridian that just got a taste of Irma and just got utility power back on today, I got a good chuckle out of this.

Of course the death and destruction are nothing to laugh at, though I do often find humor in many other inappropriate things as well.
Killer observations. I've been wondering if conscienceness is circular activity in the brain, such that while we are conscience there is a constant circle of activity, and upon sleep this circle stops. I suppose this article is saying that this is metacognigtion, but still circle all the way down.
The essence of Chinese politics is communist control. The actual iteration is very different as you say. But this does not alter the fact that freedom of the individual as provided by bitcoin runs counter to the Chinese communist manifesto. I am talking about the clash of ideals really, not actualities.
Question to people who were in San Juan after Irma: After how long was driving possible on main highways? (eg. from the Bay Marina to the airport)
This equivocation between consciousness and meta-consciousness is so widespread that a plethora of books, which are seemingly dedicated to the project of "explaining consciousness", instead spend their entire contents explaining some hypothesis involving meta-consciousness and then proceed to declare victory without ever touching consciousness itself. Jaynes' "The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" is perhaps the most egregious offender.

This is especially troubling when you consider that meta-consciousness sells easily to the general public as "the hard problem" (our thorough use of it seemingly being a large part of what makes humans different, after all), while it's likely that it's more of an engineering problem after you've figured out base consciousness.

If there's anything it is like to be a worm, THAT'S the hard problem. Implementing recursive phenomenal access seems like an undergraduate research project after that. Yet it's most often the very thing we spend all our time focusing on. Frustrating. We need new words - or wider usage of existing ones.
With decentralized systems, the goal is to be in a state where participating outweighs the benefits of usurping. Where it makes more sense to play the game correctly.

The system creates trust.

Whether we can achieve this goal through cryptography and game theory remains to be seen.
Hmm honestly there are better ways to let your employees get to know a candidate than a 1-hour tech screen - how about a 15-minute chat instead? And if you need a tech competency bar that fresh college grads generally do better on than experienced devs to manufacture a social consensus on fairness, I feel your team does not trust the interviewers enough.

My idea of a collaborative working culture is where

1. we trust each employee to do their job well enough that we do not have to look over their shoulder

2. we respect each employee enough that we value their time

3. we can work together with low friction

I would not characterize these positions as a lack of humility. The use of 'monkey' was in the sense of OPs use of "dance monkey" where candidates go through a ritualized process that tests little but mostly serves to preserve a social illusion of fairness. Pedigree is one thing, actual experience and references to back it up absolutely is a reason to "bend the bar" unless preserving the appearance of fairness is more important than actually evaluating skill.

But overall, thank god for free choice. These are very different value systems I think - manifesting as differences in interview style, but they are more fundamental political differences.
the 00s famously saw the flourishing of indie rock, which seems to bear continuity with the early 10s hipster culture, and these days there is a huge mass of hyperspecific subcultures enabled by the internet
ARX in this case is referring to Add Rotate XOR, which is a common construction for hash functions. You are referring to the language.
Yes, there were many designs.

I don't know of anyone who really applied traditional BFT networks into public blockchain architecture, however, until Tendermint.

For example, who spoke or wrote of BFT fault accountability/attribution, and how it pertains to proof-of-stake models, before Tendermint?

There was also the 2011 paper that lamented the lack of good open-source middleware for BFT algos. Tendermint solves that engineering problem as well.
That sounds more like a tax than a fine.
I believe you should re-examine your indignation. One window into the favoritism of these schools is legacy admissions. For instance, about 10-30% of Ivy admissions are to legacies, and on average these legacies have lower scores than ordinary admissions.

Another window is the favors offered to large donors. My wife worked in fundraising for an Ivy. There was no end to the coddling of doddering old donors, by the university president all the way down through deans and managers of large facilities.

There was a dossier on each and every significant donor, maintained by a dedicated research staff, and specific people who were tasked with maintaining and improving relationships with large donors through favors. ("Large" wasn't that large, a $1M gift would be very, very large.) One reference point here is the admission of Jared Kushner to Harvard.

To return to the matter at hand, is it not at least possible that the relevant Dean made an offhand comment to the professor that it was certainly a pleasure to see that the son of $BIG_DONOR was taking Latin this term?

A professor who wanted to please the Dean (don't underestimate the appeal!) would get the hint. A professor who didn't get hints like this might not find legacies enrolled in their class. A Dean who didn't know how to finesse these opportunities might get rotated out to another position.

Yes, I knew a student like this, whose father would fly in and have a conversation with the Dean (not Harvard, but close enough).
Perhaps that the pervasive and instantaneous availability of many different genres of music, current and historical, has reduced the political and cultural significance of any single one, and therefore its potential to spawn lasting social and musical movements - ie. "analysis paralysis" or "divide and conquer"? Mobile internet is the new heroin, internet peers the new subcultures.

It doesn't have to be, it can also become a heavily centralized, carefully monitored system thanks to the intrinsic immutability of the underlying technology.

It's a dystopian government's dream.

Google intensifies censorship of left-wing websites
For individuals, sure. But the war was about norms for the Web. And that's lost. Again, by the way. The first time, as I recall, being in ~1995, when the commercial takeover really got started. So it goes.
Once you lose the right to vote, you are on track to lose all your other rights too. Suddenly you'll find out the trade was not worth it, albeit it'd be too late.

Never surrender voting rights for any reason. No vote == no voice in government.
I saw one account that threatened to exterminate tens of millions of people today. I reported the post but somehow I doubt Twitter will do anything about it.
Based on everything I've read about automotive software development, I'm impressed they've managed to degrade the Linux kernel enough to call it Automotive Grade.

Also affects FB Messenger (scroll down the thread for a while) and Telegram.

A WA crash was also presented.

Well that was a very interesting thread...
Higher pay in exchange for being on-call, I'd guess.
WhatsApp is an unusual case; a consumer app with low ARPU, very much a "take it or leave it" proposition.

Most other businesses need more touch with the customer.

If you are at the "hacker and/or hustler" phase, efficiently using the time of the principals matters a lot; a founder could probably train a system like that in a week or so and use that to reply to tickets with less time spent and then hand it off to other hires like a "playbook".
Sure, but those 3% have their lives 100% destroyed. So it's still a crime. I mean, if I try to poison 100 people, and only get three, is that cool?
I too would love to hear more about this, unfortunately this article on FreeBSD Jail Management Tools [1] seemed to be the most relevant thing I could come up with.

I don't make a distinction between micro-evolution and macro-evolution. I used other people's terms to make clear which part of this theory of evolution I want proven. Evolution's core claim is that man evolved from other organisms lower in the evolutionary tree. This is what I want proven in a scientific manner.

How can it be a fact if one does not know how one-celled organisms managed to evolve into humans? You can call it a fact once the mechanism is well-understood. Until then, it's not yet a fact. Evolutionists arguments, if you're paying attention, are in fact circular.
I suspect we're going in the direction of Japan, where half the population under 30 has never had sex and doesn't plan to.

Give your Samsung Smartthings installation a mouth using Amazon's Polly voice.
I don't. When I was setting this up I didn't find any guides or blogs about doing this so I thought it was not of interest to anyone. So I just went about implementing it a piece at a time. Installing pam_jail, then getting /etc/pam.d/sshd configured to use it (which is a one-line addition, very easy). Now by default pam_jail simply puts the user into a jail of their home directory. This is where you can go a few routes with this. If simply jailing the user on the host OS to their home directory is all you are interested in doing you can stop there. Configure FreeBSD to not allow users to see other processes, user processes and group processes not owned by them, and they won't know anyone else is on the system.

security.bsd.see_other_gids

security.bsd.see_other_uids

The above are the two sysctl's you want to enable.

A simple ps will show you all the shells that are in a jail.

Tue 19 7:19PM priyanka.setecastronomy ~> ps -x

PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND

30308 - S 0:00.05 sshd: oracle@pts/0 (sshd)

Now you have the tty he/she is on (pts/0). There are many ways to get that including ps so use whatever method you prefer to get the tty.

Fire up watch to snoop on the tty.

Tue 19 7:48PM priyanka.setecastronomy ~> doas watch pts/0

And boom, you can watch the ankle biter do his/her thing.

You can do this on the host as described, because that is how pam_jail works. But if you prefer for some reason to make an actual jail with VNET etc and do this simply forward ssh on the host to the jail's IP. If you do rate limiting you will already be configuring pf or ipfw anyway so an extra line to forward 22 to the jail host is not big deal.

Yeah this is a crappy write-up but it's spur of the moment and in a HN reply post so it's worth the price paid.

I'm happy to answer questions or help you if you get stuck anyway I can just message me. It's pretty simple to do.

If this is in a corporate setting I would consult with legal before doing this. The world is a whacky place these days, and if the ankle biter does something evil from your honeypot jail you may be liable.
In a semi unrelated note I'm curious what Yannis Varoufakis found while working on understanding the virtual economics of Valve's online community.

The market can stay irrational...
The results outside of major tech areas seem to be overly optimistic, as if it is using the overall US average for those. That makes sense given the label, but they really should be providing "US, Other" that excludes all the higher income areas that they have specific selections for.
That survey seemed to be designed for a the sensationalist headline. When half the country's vote doesn't matter anyways (due to the Electoral College) it's easy to trade "the right to vote in the next two presidential elections" with tens of thousands of student loan debt that prevents you from, say, buying a house and starting a family.
As part of install there is typically a diagram added to the fuse box or inverter showing how to switch generation off.

If your credit card number is stolen you simply contact the provider and they will (usually) refund any fraudulent charges and send you a new card. In turn, the credit card companies simply do a charge back to the gas station (taking the money from the station and refunding it to the customer whose card has been stolen).

There is no charge back to the gas station, the cards are used to steal other things. They were just skimmed at the station.
Why would you be discussing your personal attributes in a business setting?
> There is no such thing as "micro" vs. "macro" evolution in evolutionary theory. There's just evolution.

I agree.

> Species are not absolute boundaries; they are just convenient labels we use to group organisms for purposes of taxonomy.

I agree as well. As a matter of fact, this fuzzy definition of species is being exploited by evolutionists to "prove" macro-evolution is demonstrable.

Going back to whether fruit flies evolve, what other different organism did they evolve into, different from a fruit fly?
Its a bad advice as per my experience, as a startup you'll have three problems cashflow, hiring, sales. Cash is your life blood, preserve it. Money you spent on boxes can give you 3 months additional runway, what you spent on devops could have been an additional sales person.

Hiring will be a pain, especially if you are competing with giants or millions of dollar valuation startups. One less person you have to hire is eons you can spend on other things.

Sales/Marketing would suck, you would spend more on getting the deal then you will make from that in 2 years. Your first 10 ideas to make the app viral will fail. Your dev time not going in ops. can be used to squeeze in that feature, the big fat wallet is asking for.

Don't worry about vendor lockin, React patents, green earth. 90% chance you'll die before you hit that, make that 99% if you are worrying about that. You'll anyway rewrite/rearch. the thing you are writing, as your understanding of market will improve.
Listen to any pop or hip hop station. Here's Mask Off (Future ft Drake) - peaked at 5 on Billboard Hot 100 this summer. The hook is mostly this:

"percocet, molly percocet"

Then check out dubstep and EDM subculture. There is probably a massive rave event happening every weekend in the states. Molly is a massive component of these events.
"Over-producing" isn't really a thing. You're complaining about supply outstripping demand causing prices to fall - that's always going to happen with any mass produced goods.

It sounds like the real issue is that doing R&D in the U.S. is uncompetitively expensive compared to doing the same work in China.
Until it's conscious, AI is just a tool and the same ethics apply when using it as when using any other tool. If you use it to hurt people, to deceive people, to steal from people, etc, you go to jail. Well, ideally. But like insurance companies that are forbidden from charging different rates to people based upon their being a member of a protected class or any proxy which becomes essentially equivalent. So if their ML system starts jacking up premiums on one group of people because its found an indicator it likes, they're still breaking the law. Even if they can't explain why it keyed on that indicator beyond "look... here's a list of numbers. Those are weights in the neural net. We don't know what they mean."
Would you still want it gone if it caused a net gain in proficient engineers, but a net loss in total engineers?
> "I haven't heard of anyone who goes out and specifically drinks with their friends," he said. "It's not something you set out to do, like, 'Oh yeah, I'm going to go out and get drunk.'"

I think it's fascinating that the teenager interviewed equated drinking with binge drinking.

I'd recommend counting how many of your use-package forms have :ensure t and how many don't. If more have it than not, instead (setq use-package-always-ensure t).
Although the pie chart is a bit skewed because there are many exchanges that hold custody of coins in (multi-sig) cold storage, Bitcoin's distribution is not as dispersed as most would have liked it to be. That's largely because people were able to mine the currency in silence during 2009-10 where adoption and therefore difficulty were miniscule. I think one of the most annoying things people keep coming up with is doing airdrops for their altcoins based on the distribution to registered Bitcoin addresses. Byteball keeps doing this and therefore favors and privileges large Bitcoin holders. That's one of the most unfair ways to distribute a new cryptocurrency, especially for people that haven't had the privilege to have known about Bitcoin early.

It is funny how doing even just a little bit of good can earn a company undying loyalty.

Back in the 90s, my mom was diagnosed with what turned out to be terminal cancer, and was having major surgery the next day. Being the mid 90s, there were no cheap ticket web sites, and next-day flights were priced for business travelers (out of the reach of a poor grad student). However, airlines did give you a break for family emergencies like this. Delta was the only major airline that treated me like a human being and got me a ticket to be with my family during this terrible time.

To this day, I go out of my way to fly Delta, even when it means a plane change if another carrier has a direct route, etc.
>It has not yet brought about the collapse of civilization, or a descent into despotism.

That's quite a short time scale.
