It’s been two years. And I bet normal everyday users aren’t asking for that.
It usually means micro-waterfalls on an atomized feature basis.
It's about picking a CPU for workstations, though, not normal desktop machines. It's assumed you will need serious computational power, and that's not free. That's also why they highlight the presence of so many PCIe lanes.
But this is about workstations where CPU bound workloads are running, like rendering or compilation.

Most people will either buy a laptop or desktop (if their smartphone is not sufficient) and not spend nearly as much money, they only need to run a browser and a couple of other small programs.

Precisely.

> ...bribing executives and misleading shareholders

You raise an interesting point - in a Colony there is presumably no concept of enforceable fiduciary duty to shareholders (because there are none - we're not trading securities, we're trading plastic house chips on a blockchain). There are no legislated considerations for other members/colonists/dappsters/etc. I can vote/act with impunity, regardless of value creation/destruction potential. Welcome to the legal grey zone.

> I take Colony as an experiment.

As do I, and one I hope succeeds. But I'm not sure THEY do, which means early adopters are riding a bet that Colony gets it right the first time.
No one can.

Pretty sure other countries' recognition of (which does not necessarily equate to acceptance or support of) China's position on this do not extend to the level of sovereign embarrassment and capitulation outlined in the post.
One thing I'm interested in is scraping those annoying sites that require JavaScript execution. More and more webpages are requiring JS even to display anything beyond a blank page. These sites self-select themselves for exclusion in scraping like this.

I've looked into Headless Chrome, but I'd be interested to see a 'scraping framework' level abstraction for those sites.
Uh, what sort of conflict do you think China could provoke? I have a hard time seeing a free salmon treaty with China giving rise to more conflict than normal neighbor disputes.

If Norway started selling all its oil to China, then
we'd have something. But the EU borders Norway, and China doesn't so there isn't much in favour of it. In addition, China doesn't border the EU, so I don't think it sees much value in a divided EU (as opposed to Russia). To them it is probably more interesting to distance the EU from the US.
It’s no different than Chrome or Firefox on iOS. Standard WebKit rendering with an MS GUI and syncing features to feel more like edge and integrate with the rest of their stuff better.

I found that, at least for DDR4-2400, the ECC price premium is about $50 per 16 GB stick. I sprang for it anyway, but still winced at the cash register racking up the numbers for my own Ryzen upgrade.

It's funny because everyone seems to go with their own ideas on what Agile is. I know companies who do agile and to them it's moving fast, loose requirements, etc. That is what it means to be "agile".

For others, it's that slow grinding process of sprint planning, task estimation, pointless scrums and using estimation as some kind of metric for performance.

Then I took an agile course from the scrum alliance and the instructor only cared about Agile as a way of building "high performance teams". E.g get a group of people together, stay together, let them manage their time and they way they work to get the best usage out of them.

I've done all 3, to me agile fails because nobody really knows what it is other than they are doing "Agile"

So it's more like Faux-Edge. I guess it still provides a benefit for Edge users who want to sync their data and whatnot. It's just not too interesting beyond that.

At least Firefox Focus (based on Chromium, too) is a "private by default" kind of browser, who those who care about that experience and don't want to mess with settings or don't know how to set it up so that it has maximum privacy. Speaking of which, it would be nice if Firefox Focus also provided an easy-to-use option to enable browsing over Tor.

I've always held to the "Sin City"[1] philosophy: society's needs change over time, while people fundamentally don't. The existence of prison is just a failure of society to accommodate the wide variety of human natures.

Obviously this brings up questions of the "dangerous to society" variety, but a minuscule percentage of prisoners are dangerous psycho killers.

[1] Most people think Marv is crazy, but I don't believe that.
I'm no shrink and I'm not saying I've got Marv all figured out or anything, but "crazy" just doesn't explain him. Not to me. Sometimes I think he's retarded, a big, brutal kid who never learned the ground rules about how people are supposed to act around each other.

But that doesn't have the right ring to it either. No, it's more like there's nothing wrong with Marv, nothing at all--except that he had the rotten luck of being born at the wrong time in history. He'd have been okay if he'd been born a couple of thousand years ago. He'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield, swinging an ax into somebody's face. Or in a roman arena, taking a sword to other gladiators like him.
They'd have tossed him girls like Nancy, back then.
Great! Not that the Nobel prize means anything to me, but I simply love Kazuo Ishiguro. His surreal novels are always moving to me. I absolutely love how he plays with unreliable narrators, like in "The Remains of the Day", "A Pale View of Hills" and "When We Were Orphans". He shows how they are flawed, sometimes self-sabotaging, but we (or rather, I) still empathize with them.

The ending of "The Remains of the Day" always moves me, almost to tears. How the butler, having realized he threw his life away for people who were not worth it, is at it again, repeating the same mistakes and having learned (almost) nothing. And still, I root for him.
I feel the same. I can't fathom the lack of imagination, and IMHO that's what it is. I've loaded Lemonade Stand on an audio cassette, and with the same fingers, I now type this on a black wafer on a plane.
But how will their web server present that data? They can't read the data.
I'd settle for them just getting out of the browser business.
Nice one, you compare second hand prices to brand new prices. Anandtech's goal is to guide you in the chip market buying it brand new, not hunting it on ebay. Also, what they say with the 1950x being the best compromise between number of PCIe lanes, processing power, maximum memory etc. If you didn't notive, performance is not their only criteria.

Automating the Pointless Argument: short story about fake news and structured data
Yes, I remember being frustrated trying to get magazine games to work on my Apple II with Integer BASIC (or Applesoft BASIC if I spent several minutes to load it in on cassette tape). However, I learned a lot trying to debug these games and get them to work. Sometimes I was successful and that was very rewarding. Things definitely got easier once I got an Applesoft ROM card and Microsoft BASIC became more standard.
I first learned of this sieve while reviewing the code for the Primecoin proof-of-work. Primecoin is a cryptocurrency that tries to have its PoW provide greater utility than hashing, but its PoW otherwise is similar to hashing. The task is to produce Cunningham chains [1] of prime numbers. The reference implementation of Primecoin computes primes using the Sieve of Eratosthenes (w/arbitrary precision integer math).

And that is? They're happy to be unfree, and think everybody else in the world only cares about their own problems, divided by nationality?

You said a lot, but not one word about your own, personal perspective. If I asked other Chinese people, would they also only tell me about yet other Chinese people? Then why bother?

Also note how you're not asking any questions yourself, either. You just assume others assume moral high ground and tell them, representative for all other Chinese citizens.

Even just one political prisoner, in China or any other country, makes the opinion of anyone who is "happy" in that country of rather secondary rank.

> In Chinese, there is a saying that "Please take care of your own backyard, before thinking of cleaning up other people's backyard."

I'm not an uptight corrupt goon, so for example I can make fun of the Chinese Communist Party and plenty of other politicians in plenty countries. I did take care of my backyard. I'm not responsible for what anyone else of $arbitrary_group_you_think_matters is doing, I'm responsible for what I'm doing.

It’s absolutely possible to do machine learning based tasks without sending all data to an ad network that builds a profile of your entire life to serve you ads.

Apple does a lot of on-device work, and anonymises what does need to talk to their backend for (eg map directions).

The problem is, google can’t adopt that pattern even if they want to (which they don’t) because their whole push for years has been about very thin (software wise) clients talking to a largely web based set of google services.

> Yet none of those blockchain enthusiasts could tell me a single USP that blockchains had over storage in a normal database on any concrete use case, with the sole exception of cryptocurrencies.

> And the reason is simple: all those applications have none of the properties and problems the blockchain solves - which is an elegant niche solution tailor made for mutually mistrusting entities working together on a distributed ledger. That barely exists in real life.

> Centralized systems are what you want in 99% of cases. They're more reliable, better controlled, have infinitely more throughput and usually, you want to be able to roll back transactions under certain conditions (fraud, mistakes, etc.)

While we're high on the hype cycle for blockchains and crypto currencies, it's easy to find actors that do not understand the limitations of the technology. It has heavy drawbacks when compared to centralized systems. That is true, I agree with that part of your comment.

What your position misses, are the huge unrealized upsides of blockchain tech. It's natural, because they are potential, unrealized and, as such, difficult to defend. Let me try my hand at it anyway, as high level as possible so we don't get lost in use case minutiae.

Blockchain allows you to eschew the need for a single central trusted party. This allows for fluid ecosystems, removing the need for a monopoly/oligopoly in scenarios that today require one. This removal of a market deficiency is known to increase innovation, through competition.

If you find it difficult to imagine use scenarios for blockchain, look for deficient markets caused by the need for centralized trust: monopolies and oligopolies. In each, you'll find an opportunity to create a more competitive market through blockchain.
A lot of Ishiguro's works do this; I think The Unconsoled is a fantastic book, but it's so truly painful to read I understand why most people hate it. The Swedish Academy said he "in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world" which I think is a pretty good description of his style.

Why does it need to be scanned years later? I suppose if you are mitigating the risk of going to prison or something like that, then it might make sense.

But either way, you can print to paper and store it in a fireproof safe (or probably better still -- a safety deposit box). There are lots of methods for ensuring printed paper survives for a long time -- if you google it, I'm sure you'll find more than you want to know.

My personal method is storing passphrase encrypted on multiple USB drives (they're cheap) and replacing them every year or so (they're cheap).

I think a more interesting question is: how do I provide access to my non-technical wife in case I am incapacitated or dead? Especially, how do I convince her not to put the passphrase on a sticky note on the fridge?
https://github.com/4bitfocus/asc-key-to-qr-code looks like it is trying to do that, though the issues on the repo suggest it might not work 100%, which is kind of a deal-breaker.

if nobody else is fit to lead, it's your job.

It's been 2 (nearly 3) years since the final version of the official spec, but 5 years since any significant changes to the spec draft. IE10 was released in 2012 with a partial IndexedDB implementation, and Edge is still missing features that Chrome and Firefox had 5 years ago.

And I was being facetious, I know I'm not a normal user. Some normal users would like to play a video game I wrote that won't run in Edge due to missing IndexedDB features, though.
This would be great for games with lots of speaking characters and other npcs.

Had to happen sooner or later. I just wish Microsoft had not tied Edge so deeply into Windows 10 (did they not learn from doing the same with Internet Explorer?) as at the moment it is limited to updates as part of the OS (Windows Update) and not the Microsoft Store.

I’ve used edge. It’s fine.

If MS had lots of people complaining about sites that didn’t work or said ‘Edge not supported’ to people who went there and that was because the site needed IndexDB I’m sure they would have added it. It clearly isn’t a huge issue for them.

I can see people saying ‘If I use Edge my phone doesn’t sync bookmarks and stuff like Chrome so I use Chrome.’

I don’t think saying things like ‘people only use it to download Chrome’ is helpful. It’s not IE 7. It’s a perfectly fine browser.
