I think the author commented on this pretty clearly in the article when they described themselves as someone with "...more money than sense". I've had many friends who are pretty insistent they have what it takes to make a successful run with a restaurant business with some gimmick on the side to bring in audiences, and every time I hear their pitch I can't help but be let down by the lackidasical pitch. I think in general people just don't really understand what it takes to get a restaurant just to "stable", neverminding profitable.

I'm often reminded of the difference between producing something and production something at a production scale; my partner is a chemist, and she tells me how their applicants don't always understand why a 1% impurity in a product matters immensely when you're producing 1 metric tons of the stuff. It's the same with a restaurant, I imagine, and trying to produce the same quality dish rapidly and consistently without much waste or flubbing the process, and being able to also rapidly adjust the volume you produce on a day to day basis with no strong indicator as to which way the demand is going to swing.

But none of that really registers when you read advertisement pieces from cities about booming restaurant scenes and how largely demand can be overstated when a city just wants some fresh air in their night life, and it's really appealing to people to imagine themselves as successful restauranteurs when inundated with such material.

Sure, that's possible, and may suggest the current test is better, not flawed.
TLBs index a tag with the higher bits and compare one retrieved value for equality only. A PLB with arbitrary resolution would need to do 2 subtractions for the 2 compares and do that for all active entries in parallel. That is, for every simple load/store in a 16 entry PLB you'd need to do 32 subtractions! Unless you come up with a novel scheme to handle this your chip will get hot. Maybe you can reconstruct the indexing TLB scheme on the fly in hardware or something like that, or have an special purpose embedded Cortex-M3 that recreates an efficient lookup structure for the MILL :-). And no, a 64 bit subtraction is not one clock cycle when you run at 1ghz.

8 IoT Gadgets and Services for Making Everyday Life Easier
All the large-scale policies you cite are mostly useful for the medium and long term, but counter-productive in the sort-term, as creating new "clean" infrastructures is done using our current, fossil fueled infrastructures.

Personal steps are our main chance at a short term effect, and we need that short term effect. A huge part of greenhouse gas emissions for instance is due to meat. It amounts for more than half of it if you count cattle respiration ! This is something that can be almost exclusively solved by personal involvement, i.e. eating less meat or no meat at all. Likewise for personal transportation and home heating/insulation. With these three things other which people have a lot of control, we cover a large part of greenhouse gas emissions.
In Favor of Futurism Being About the Future
Education is only expensive in the short term. In the lifetime of a student it pays for itself many times over.
From the second paragraph of the article:

"You have probably heard about the hunt for dark matter, a mysterious substance thought to permeate the universe, the effects of which we can see through its gravitational pull. But our models of the universe also say there should be about twice as much ordinary matter out there, compared with what we have observed so far."

This could have been worded slightly differently to emphasize that the second sentence is contrasting with the first, but no; this is about regular matter, not Dark Matter.
I'm taking it as a different version of the same story. Like in Zelda. Link definitely kills Gannon every time...
This is sidestepping a bit but education isn't a major part of our national budget, and it pays for itself if you look at lifetimes rather than election periods.

They weren't against education because of money though, rather because they genuinely believe people are less free, creative and innovative when they go through formal education rather than just being, well, "out there, doing stuff".

The best scenario for using privoxy I have found were complining it '--with-compression' option and setting on my private VPN server that my iPhone had been connecting to.

There was a site with stock quotes that I have been refreshing hundreds times a day so I set privoxy to strip all unnecessary crap like ads, javascript, some gifs etc. and then compress. From 2MB of original HTML page size I went down to 15kB. Times hundred times a day - it had saved me a lot of mobile data.
5G to Come to India Soon
It would reduce the latency of data but we have not tried in production.

Given that Kafka neither provides secondary indexes nor organizes data in columnar format, Presto essentially have to somewhat scan through the Kafka topics to execute the queries, resulting a lot of disk I/O.

Our Kafka infrastructure handles more than one trillion messages per day and guarantees second-level latency SLAs. Reading aggressively could easily saturate all the I/O bandwidths of the nodes and leads to outages. We actually had several incidents in the past when we did backfills. So I'm more conservative on this.
Thank you. I have a small attachment to the name ‘Cockpit’. Three years ago, me and my friends, we used to spend quite some time in hacking projects or automating our workflow. It was at that time, we created a
a tool called ‘Cockpit’ (https://github.com/27AE60/cockpit) for configuring Terminal workspace in Linux. Over the years, I started concentrating on one terminal. And when I shifted to iTerm2 along with Tmux, I wanted to spend less time in configuring workspace and more on my code. Then, I realized, I end up with similar Tmux layouts for most of my prototypes and I wanted to reduce my time in re-loading the projects. I wanted a visual representation of Tmux and flexibility in terms of scripts instead of installing applications. This tool reminded me of my old project and so, I couldn’t think a better name than Cockpit.
I’d like to add that just because something is common it doesn’t make it healthy or good for the user.

Sure, it's not the default state, but the origin of the open source firmware and drivers doesn't matter, it's the end result that matters. If you can get functional, open source drivers for a platform, it doesn't matter who wrote them.

In the case of the open-source VC4 drivers (GPU driver), these are being written by a Broadcom employee (in his spare time). Broadcom are the company behind the SoC that is at the core of the RPi. So you have a person with access to technical documentation from the company that makes the device writing the drivers. Regardless of whether they get paid or not, the drivers are of high quality, they've even made it into mainline Linux, so they work out of the box. There's very few SBC that have similar levels of open source support for their GPUs.

As for the firmware, yes it does need more work to be a true replacement for the standard one. However, it's a fixed target, and there are people willing to put in the work, so it's only a matter of time before it improves further. That said, I'm sure more assistance would be welcome.
The game is a bit of a wild ride. More depth to this clicker than you'd expect.
> B) the real question is whether you want servant class of citizens who are essentially exploited?

It's absolutely necessary. We are being harmed economically because we don't have enough of an unskilled servant class.

Right now, women can't effectively work a job if they have a baby. You can see a situation where every household could have one servant, just to allow a woman to work - never mind all the other segments of the economy that could use low-skilled servant class. This may total to about 30-40% of the population.

Meanwhile, only about 10% of the US population doesn't graduate high school. So, where are we expected to gather the rest of our unskilled labor force?

We need to import this class of labor because America can't provide it, and we need to provide basic human services for this class of labor as well - health care, retirement, etc..

Inequality serves a useful function in any economy. When everybody is a high-skill worker, economies breaks.

If everybody is a PhD computer scientist, who raises babies while they are at work?

With the proposed design for the Librem 5, you can turn off the individual features of the phone without turning off the phone. So for example, you can turn off the camera (with a hardware switch, which is not something that can be overridden remotely) whilst still being able to browse the web. As far as I know there are no other modern phones with that feature.

1. Out of curiosity, do you actually do this? (The first part you propose.)

2. As a theoretical solution it is a bit weaker than the "simple" solution I think Google should obviously do, because under your proposal different spammers can coordinate, invalidating your privacy. (You didn't tell two different unrelated sites that you're the same person, but actually you are, which they could build into a targeted profile if they coordinate or, for example, are owned by the same parent company.) Granted this is a theoretical concern but it is there.

The only way to find out what your device - no matter which device - send out is to sniff out all the traffic it generates. While easy to do on Wifi this is harder to accomplish on the mobile data connection.

More like they didn't have political power, because they didn't have money and influence.

I'd argue that peasants had more political power than wealth back then. Peasants uprisings were a thing. Rulers had to work with that by either crushing them or giving them a wee better treatment. Yet they didn't have any wealth. Once peasants got some wealth thanks to industrial revolution, they soon broke into wider political scene.

When you import a CSV file into Google Sheets (File -> Import), you can choose in the dialog to convert text to numbers and dates. If you choose not to convert, Google Sheets places a single quote (') before the function.

Also it will round those numbers silently to 15 digits.

It was a fun time explaining to accounting why their report showed duplicate billing events. Try telling an accountant "Don't use Excel". The solution of course was to prefix a "'" character, making the file useless outside of spreadsheet programs.

Just the other day I caught myself feeling frustrated that I had to manually add a dependency + version number in my mix.exs (Elixir package manager), just because I got so used to doing 'yarn add <package>'.

It's both fascinating and a bit scary how easy I just do things 'the way everyone does' despite knowing better, and I hope we'll find some solution that could be applied community- or ecosystem-wide.

I feel this is one thing that differentiate the European political cultures and the US political culture.

In Europe I feel we do better understand that people are stupid (in general). They won't insure their health, they'll kill you for $50, they won't pay the price for an education.

That's why we don't have guns, we have mostly free healthcare and universities.

In the US, I feel you guys hope or would like that people would NOT be stupid and do smart things on a general basis.

But that's not the case.

What if all side of the US political system could agree on this? People are fucking stupid, let's make more rules and put more systems and programs in place that take this into account.
> They paid for an improvement to the rental property, how come the landlord didn't split that with them. It just seems unfair.

Even that is not true - Xbox One didn't launch in a whole bunch of territories, including half of EU! If you lived in say, Poland, and wanted a next-gen console, PS4 was the only choice since X1 wasn't even available at all for few months after launch. Hell, Xbox Live didn't support 90% of the world until very recently, once again, if you lived in Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, you could kiss Xbox Live goodbye unless you had a way to purchase foreign top-up cards. Sony never had this problem, their products launch globally and work globally.

Edit: to add insult to the injury, Microsoft teams seem to think that literally no one ever speaks a language outside of its original country. Until literally 2-3 updates ago(so for 4 years after launch) you couldn't set the language on your Xbox One to a different one than your Region, which of course would prevent you from accessing the store correctly. Live in UK but want to have the console in German? Tough luck, you better set your region to Germany, there was no other way. It's just gross incompetence.

Security. In the sense of "enable only needed features, to reduce attack surface".

Of course it would be even better to not have it turned on by default in the first place.

Microsoft comes from a place of being automatically distrusted by a lot of people, and for good reason. It may seem unfair to you, but they have to conduct better than this to make up for this disadvantage.

But that is a separate discussion altogether, the fact at hand being that iOS does ask the user explicitly whether telemetry should be enabled or not and I remember that Android does that too.

> Building it to handle less than what you've seen before would be stupid.

Let me tell a second hand anecdote of a Burmese village.

It was a rather small collection of huts raised on tall poles. But it was a village none the less.

All paths in the village were laid out with a connected mass of wood. Along the path were sticks, rising pretty high up in the air. Somewhere along the top of the sticks were a lot of cuts made out in the wood, at various heights. By a knife or so.

In the dry season, this path laid on the ground to be walked on. You didn't have to walk on it of course, since the surrounding dirt was dry.

In the wet season however, floods often came. And so, they raised the path up along the sticks so that it became a water bridge for when floods came. They raised it to the level of the highest cuts that were made in the sticks. A very reasonable thing to do, in order to connect the village in times of crisis, without using boats.

Interestingly, however was the background of the cuts. Each cut represented a water height that had some time ago been the highest the flood had become. So each season, they only raised the water bridge to the level of the worst flood they had experienced.

They did not have a margin.

While they didn't prepare for less than what they had previously seen, they only prepared for the worst flood in history, and not the worst flood in history + a margin.
This manual, as I may call it, is hilarious. But its usefulness cannot be discounted. The first rule while dealing with people is "Individuals are who they are." And if in the past you had an encounter with someone who fits the label of "stupid", as described by these laws, then there is a high chance that the person is going to display stupidity even in the foreseeing future.

As a friend of mine once remarked in Hindi-- "Once a chutiya, always a chutiya."
