You could say the same for the 'D'PRK. Maybe it's just a democracy that does a lot of undemocratic things.

HELP, we need some tech gurus
refreshing isn't it, nothing shouts integrity louder than sharing failure.
Yes, but I am worried AMD 's agreement with GF is holding them back. AMD right now is selling as many EPYC, Ryzen and Vega as they could produce. Since they brought back Polaris to GF, the capacity are now shared between both their GPU and CPU product line. It would make sense if AMD sell more EPYC and Ryzen CPU then Vega since those CPUs are have higher margin. But Vega also have much higher market volume due to Crypto mining.

Navi, the next gen modular GPU are going back to TSMC 7nm. But that is professional offering appeared to by the end of 2018, and consumer offering in 2019.

i.e There is a capacity limitation of how well AMD can do within the next 24 months. That is excluding AMD's APU launching soon which I think is going to be a big hit.

P.S - That is GF's Fab 8 20% capacity increase included. It is clear AMD is not the only one using Fab8, I wonder who are these other customer using 14nm in GF.

You are part of the problem. Who do you think you are to judge these people for expressing their fears as not valid fear? Let me guess: you are one of the white male techbros of HN, secure in their income, housing and medical care (so far, I am too) who are quick to put down those who are less fortunate in their lives (this is where we differ). Read more "me too" stories and listen instead of judging.

Imagine a world in which Xi, Kim Jong *, and a host of other wealthy dictators were immortal, and the rest of us pee-ons were not. I believe that is the future of high tech immortality.
Consider the perspective of the "patreon" (funder). You choose maybe 5 creators you want to watch and fund. With Patreon you have a convenient place to do that - you're spoonfed new content and you enter your payment info to a single trusted third party, not each individual creator.

I also assume there are great options for discovering new related content and creators.

Disclaimer: I never used Patreon, I only assume that's how it works.

One could be free from a strong dependency over AWS, but this doesn't seem to be the actual case. The SPOF is Amazon:

> This concern could be mitigated by encrypting the TMK with multiple region keys, and including the appropriate CMKID with each record. Impacts of this approach would be an increase in record write latency.

Multiple regions are a nice thing to have, but it's not real redundancy. Using a key management cloud service doesn't mean someone should be trusting AWS only.
There's no point to them. It's a feelgood option like a lift door close button (edit: apparently this is a bad analogy, suggest a different one please?). Which is why they've degenerated into jokes.

The memoization occurs in the fact that we are "remembering" the previous value (pre_sum). It's a little different in that we aren't memoizing/caching all previous values, but we are still caching the last computed values aka the "tail".
Maybe it's just important to include that bit, because it actually reflects the experience of the authors? The community that signed the letter? Are those groups you mention actually disproportionately affected by this change?

Either way, this whole letter consisted of a few sentences that brought in the identity angle. These sentences correctly show that this change disproportionately affects some (minority) communities. Non discriminatory changes can have discriminatory effects. This is important.

The anti-PC crowd immediately latched onto these few sentences and now HN top upvoted thread is all about how the letter made the HN crowd feel uncomfortable.

When cis white men get threatened with losing their livelihoods by over-active PC campaigners, do you complain that the fact that they are cis white men features in the story? When these stories feature the fact that that man has three children to feed, do you complain about the emotional blackmail? Because I sure as heck don't remember any discussion threads on HN going: I agree that he shouldn't be fired over this, but why do they have to drag this tired, overused emotional blackmail into it?

I agree. This is ridiculous and hypocritical.

People somehow seriously claim that the authors should hide what community they represent, hide the unintended discriminatory effects of the policy changes, and not be so emotional about losing their livelihoods, because it makes them feel uncomfortable to read an emotional appeal in an open letter.

Physics Girl – Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski
This is very utilitarian view. Quite probably purchasing zucchini at the market is cheaper than home growing few plants, yet to some people having home-grown zucchini (or apple, grape, onion whatever) is the goal. There are many properties of a property (pun intended) that different people value differently. Density is one of the factors and some people deliberately seek properties in low density areas. Each additional restaurant, each additional piece of property can be seen as destroying the fairy tale world.

Compromises can only be found where all parties are to gain something. If one group are to gain something - housing in this case - and whatever they can offer will reduce negative impact to others - local residents - there is simply no compromise to be found because whatever the state of neighborhood was when they moved in, it was the best compromise in their view.
>This, my friends,is a prime example of coastal elitism.
Does derefr really think that there are no jobs in the capital city of Kansas that pay enough to afford a house under 100k? Not a single job?

Derefr didn't imply that in the slightest, and it's rather uncharitable of you to point it out as "coastal elitism."

The question asked was, "but what do jobs in Topeka pay, and how many of them are there?," which to me sounds quite a reasonable question.

So that's why I downvoted you.

And you didn't actually contribute anything of value with that comment; of course 100k jobs exist outside of California.

Death as important as Birth when it comes to life.

We only want to keep living because of sentience.

If you really cared about humanity, you wouldn't impede death.

It would lead to serious fragmentation of the human population with people from generations ago still alive.

Not to mention the collapse of economic structures many of which are based on young v old generation.

Apart from that hundreds of generations competing for resources.

Not to mention everything around us evolving except humans.
A friend of mine is a very good DM in D&D, wrote his own stories, world, etc, and we got a group of 5 people together and played two games before he had to leave, so we disbanded.

We very much liked the vibe, though, so I want to get the group together again. Is Fate a good game for inexperienced players (especially with an inexperienced DM)? If not, what would be a simple system to start with and play, but still enjoyable?

Fate Accelerated seems to be what I want (I'm not even sure what the differences are with Core, even having read the comparison), but the site doesn't really do a good job selling you the system.

EDIT: Man, this site is terrible. It links you to a store where I can't figure out where to buy Fate Core stories, it doesn't tell you what equipment you need, where to get it, jeez.
This makes the assumption that life is simply about progressing the human species. Progression to what though? One should aim to lead a happy life, of which making things better for the next generation is a byproduct.

Resurrected my old account just to reply to this. I just started playing 9 months ago or so. I was sceptical as I've always felt poor at acting/drama.

Turns out, it's really fun.

You're not making a story alone. You're in a group with 2-5 other 'heroes' and a DM. You're all making the story together and it's easy to go along with the flow until you think of something that pops into your head and you can then do whatever it is you want to.

In my experience, good DMs aren't going to judge you for what you do or don't do.

For me, D&D is way more lighthearted than I thought it would be. I guess this depends on the group, but, I've now bounced around a few and it seems to be a common thread. It sounds ridiculous, but, last night the group I DM'd 'invented' brunch before taking on a quest to save a girl that had been abducted by goblins (but, not before finishing their brunch and making a little picnic for themselves).

It's surprisingly easy to try D&D - there are often people running 'one shots'. These are small stories designed to start and end in a few hours so that you get a feel for it without needing to invest a huge amount of time.

I don't think that puritanism is the problem here. Adult content, especially users made one, is notoriously hard and risky to moderate. Just one underage model on your site might be enough to bring everything down, stain your reputation for a long time and under right consequences, even land you in jail. I guess payment processors refuse to cater such type of business for precisely the same reason as nobody wants headlines such as "Payment Processor X is used to fund child porn".
But the system will collapse without young healthy people signing up.
Not really. My iPad3 no longer gets updates, but has great battery life, and runs common games and apps fine. It's fast enough for most web browsing, has retina screen and no reason whatsoever to be abandoned.

How has it been abandoned? My 1st gen iPad is still supported by iTunes (the computer app), all of Apple services (App Store, iCloud, iBooks, etc.) and starting in 2013, you've been able to download the last compatible version.

iOS Safari is not a great browser, it could be improved to run better on a device such as iPad3,

How? Which browser could handle today's web pages with 256MB (my iPad) or 512Mb RAM (the third gen iPad) and no virtual memory .

It's pathetic and irresponsible that Apple abandons its own products, no security patches, no nothing.*

The iPad 3 was introduced in 2012 and received its last update August of 2016. How many apps that you use every day have become unusable? If my iPad 1 can still run Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, Spotify, all of Apple's productivity apps, etc. I'm assuming a 3rd generation iPad running iOS 9.3.5 would be more usable.

They are like Facebook - they only care about "now" and "tomorrow". If you're a customer from yesterday, you are worthless.

Apple has the best history of OS support in the industry. iOS 11 supports the iPhone 5S released in 2013. All of Apples services still support your iPad. What can't you do on your iPad that you want to do?

Autoshed
I've witnessed the imperfection of using the brand name of a degree as a measure of ability. Numerous times throughout my career as an engineer, I've seen someone from [INSERT WELL-KNOWN DEGREE HERE] outperformed by [INSERT LESSER-KNOWN DEGREE HERE], or in one case by an engineer without a college degree.

I've also witnessed the corruption of the college admissions process first-hand. I went to a high school where many of the students came from privileged families. I've witnessed a student cheat on multiple exams, including an AP exam, get caught multiple times, and have nothing happen to her -- only to later be admitted to an Ivy League. I've seen students who could barely pass AP Calculus get into Stanford and other Ivy Leagues, because their parents had the right name / connections. The bright students also got into good colleges, but the ratio was shockingly close to 50/50. Unsurprisingly, one of the college admissions counselors for the high school was later caught fabricating admissions materials, and was fired, but only because he became extremely brazen in his lies. If he had been less lazy, he probably would never have been caught. And who knows how many admissions counselors are out there that are just a bit less lazy than he was...

I'm not the only person who feels this way. Look at this Quora thread about MIT admissions: https://www.quora.com/If-MIT-only-admits-people-with-a-4-0-u.... An admissions counselor admits to rejecting students who have higher GPA's and test scores. The reasons for doing so may or may not be valid, but that's not the point. The applicants who got rejected in this manner have the potential to become better engineers than many of those who were accepted. And all the brand name universities suffer from this same problem.

The university one attends is a noisy signal that can and should be improved upon. That's why I respected Google's Foobar initiative. It is an unbiased measure of a prospective engineer. The Foobar test doesn't know what college you went to. All it knows is whether you can handle some pretty tough engineering problems. But I think Foobar is only the beginning. In the age of MOOC's, increasingly comprehensive, unbiased tests of this nature should only become more prevalent.
The point is that, as a society, we should care. And that means putting in the right checks and balances that at the individual level we still care.

Will not, as in you can theoretically get it to "say the right answers" if you have root? It seems like the best way to "crack" this protection would be something like virtualisation, where the binary is run in an environment that "looks good" to it.

> Why is it a "tearjerker speech" if that is your situation and if you want that situation to be taken into account as they do?

It's "tearjerker" because it conforms to the definition of tearjerker: "A highly sentimental story, drama, or performance, often intended to arouse heartache or sympathy." [1]

They blame Patreon for their vulnerability and use pity to win an argument. Fact is, they placed all their eggs in one risky basket, and now that basket is gone. They have themselves to blame. There are lots of LGBT people out there who aren't scared for their lives because Patreon discriminates against porn. This doesn't affect the LGBT community, it affects people who bet all their income on producing adult content on the Patreon. Arguing that LGBT are scared for their lives has nothing to do with the actual problem: "we can't make adult content on Patreon anymore, and we have no other income, but we don't want to find a job so please have pity [on the LGBT who are scared for their lives]".

The fact that third party apps abandoned older OS version is the "fault" of the app maker. If you're an app maker and can support all devices introduced since 2013 by only supporting the latest OS, why wouldn't you? The reason Android app makers still support older OS versions is a function of the abysmal state of os updates for android devices.
