Intel has already displaced Nvidia in most laptops because its integrated graphics got "good enough". Some OEMs continue to add low-end Nvidia graphics to Intel-based laptops, even though they have the same or less performance than Intel's graphics, simply because they don't want Intel to think they are their exclusive supplier and can raise prices at will.

What this deal will do is allow Intel to become the de-facto leader in the growing "laptop gaming" market, displacing both Nvidia and AMD from that market. AMD had a chance to dominate that market now with multi-core Ryzen CPUs and its dedicated GPUs, but it seems they've just decided to hand that market over to Intel on a silver platter.

Such a huge mistake from AMD. This is why I would rather AMD would be acquired by someone like Samsung or Broadcom to give AMD the money it needs than do stupid deals like this one with Intel because it's so strapped for cash.

Seriously: a box of dice, some graph paper, and a little patience goes a long way in terms of security.

Your threat model almost certainly is one in which writing down a strongly-generated password is much more secure than anything else, if you take efforts to secure the written copy.

I feel like passwords are some kind of magical Wild West of crypto, where everyone has rolled their own and the "best practice" recommendations are often nonsense that ignores threat modeling and I'm just taking crazy pills for thinking we should treat it like other kinds of crypto where users only apply standard methods with verified entropy generation.

Not so fast. Snopes article is little more than ad-hominem attack against scientists interested in the cress experiment. Claim of "lack of an apparent biophysical mechanism of interaction" is just flawed and 20+ years behind actual scientific progress in RF bioeffects, see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26151230 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23802593 . "Replication" attempts mentioned by Snopes fail to actually replicate the orig. experiment exposure setup. A constant ping-flood was run through Wi-Fi router in orig. experiment to simulate real exposure situation like video-streaming. Replications just position a Wi-Fi router in idle-mode close to cress.

This might just be a detail, but the author seems to think their phone's CPU is doing some heavy lifting when they search something on Google (in this case, why erasers are pink). If I'm not mistaken, even the voice recognition happens on a server, and the phone just records audio and sends it. And the interpretation of the query and returning a result have nothing to do with the device itself either.

"Google has to be smart enough to figure out in context that I said pink and that I’m asking about the historical reason for the color of erasers, not their health or the way they’re shaped. And it did. In less than a second. With nothing more than a cheap little microprocessor and a slow link to the internet."
I've given a talk on using WordPress for rapidly developing SaaS app MVPs. You can watch it here:
https://wordpress.tv/2017/06/05/corey-maass-rapid-web-app-de...

It's great for certain types of apps, and solves a lot of the first 90% of your app out of the box (user management, marketing pages, etc). So you can concentrate on solving the core problem your app is trying to solve. As mentioned in other comments, you might run into scaling issues over time, but that too depends on the app.

I've built a couple dozen apps on WordPress, some of them have grown beyond MVP and are going strong. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Band-aid again. Identifying users by IP was never a reliable technique; and with most services, I'm still the only human using my public IPv4 address, NAT or no NAT.

If worried about privacy, you have a whole raft of identifying mechanisms to cope with before the IP address as an identifier even appears on the horizon, and there are tools to obfuscate your source address; NATing it away only makes things more complicated without a commensurate increase in privacy (worse, provides a false sense thereof).
At least for domestic cars (e.g. Tata), prices seem comparable to me. But if you mean as compared to wages, yes, they are more expensive. Most people use public transport though. TBH, if I lived in India, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that I'd drive! (if you'v ever been, you'll know what I mean!)

That's not how reliable, safe, secure engineering works. You don't consider stuff safe until someone proves that it will kill you/let people steal your data/whatever, but rather everything is suspect unless it can be demonstrated that according to current state of the art/best practices, it can reasonably be expected to be safe.

A bridge isn't considered safe until it collapses, it is considered unsafe until it has been shown that according to our current understanding of physics and material properties, it can be expected to hold up.

The same should obviously apply to software and computing hardware.
SnapEngage | Front-End Software Engineer | Berlin, Germany | fulltime | onsite

SnapEngage is looking for a front-end developer with at least 3 years of professional experience. We have some great projects to work on for anyone who is interested in working with React, Backbone or TypeScript. If you happen to have some Java or Google Cloud experience, you'll be able to put that to use as well.

If MutationObserver, the CSS Object Model or battling with asynchronous TypeScript code sounds interesting, this might just be the position for you. If you prefer to build user interfaces with modern JavaScript frameworks, we've got that covered too!

SnapEngage has a lovely team, spread across two offices (Boulder, CO and Berlin, DE) and the company offers some great perks, such as an annual team-building trip (the last two were in Lisbon and Iceland), weekly german classes in the office and the option to work Monday and Friday from home.

You must be authorized to work in Berlin, Germany. That means to apply you should be an EU citizen or already locally based. It may be possible to come to an alternative arrangement for someone currently based in Boulder, CO.

Good to know that those hours in school wrestling with recreating parts of Minix for my OS class weren't wasted.

But seriously, the Tannenbaum stuff (book, code) was really impressive, if painful to do on 3.5" floppies.

The disclaimer (truthful or not) serves two purposes:

1) For the pumper poster, it makes them more conscious of the lie. Promoting a coin and forgetting to mention your holdings feels like a little white lie of omission. Actively lying about your holdings feels like deceit.

2) For the reader, it’s an important reminder that a seemingly objective technical-looking comment can be motivated by greed.
Just so you know, it is spelled "Tor" not "TOR".
The main difference I see between 80s tech and today, besides the obvious increase in specifications, is the emphasis on an extremely simplified user experience. Before Microsoft and later Apple started emphasising ease of use in the mid-nineties, tech was niche and obtuse. Things were possible, but not easy to use. There were a lot of good ideas coming out but none of them were ever refined enough that Grandma and Grandpa can just pick it up and use it. 80s tech was often a solution in search of a problem, with the generous assumption that every consumer was patient enough to sit down and learn its intricacies.

An example of this I've seen was the pay-TV service Tele1st. In 1984, this was billed as a way to rent first-run movies to consumers without having to go to the video store, by recording them onto tape overnight from an encrypted broadcast. Sounds simple, right? Only, the encryption was a PITA to set up: you needed to wire this big-ass box into your phone line and VCR, and prior to every broadcast of Tele1st, you would have to adjust a knob on the bottom of the unit so that the contrast matched a test pattern shown before the first movie. If you didn't do this, the encryption would fail. See for yourself: https://youtu.be/jR8YQu1HT8Y

Another example was the generous assumption that we would all be BASIC programmers. BASIC was pushed as the next essential household skill, like operating the TV or running the washer. V-tech toys came with reading, spelling, math, and BASIC. But in the end, all Grandma and Grandpa want is something that works when you press the button. They don't have the time or patience to figure out BASIC for a recipe keeper, that's what the modern-day App Store is for.

One of the strongest lessons Steve Jobs taught the tech world, is that the ease-of-use makes the difference between the IBM Simon and the culture-changing impact of the iPhone.
I guess AMD is betting on EPYC; desktop is not progressing much and they are non-existing on laptops either, possibly blocked by Intel on the vendor level, so it's better for them to get a few % of profit instead of none from this segment.

1st answer assuming you are just an end user. All you have stated can be controlled by a good antivirus with browser security. But individually chrome has a plugin (adblocker) that blocks adwares and malwarebytes can protect you from malwares.

2nd answer assuming you are a network admin. Get a UTM firewall as your gateway and you can set parameters to block all unwanted traffics (adwares, malvertising etc). In my experience Fortieth seems to do well as a UTM
I would go with using an Anti-Malware such as adBlockPlus.

You can get it from Safe And Useful Software Sites (https://goo.gl/aCQb6U). It's by far the easiest, fastest, and most effective method of dealing with malware. All you have to to is to install the program, perform a full scan with it, and everything else will be taken care of automatically.

Kinda a shame for Minix. I always hoped v3 would pick up a wider following, but this is probably not the right kind of popularity.

Intel would have picked it for it's high reliability (e.g it can survive critical driver bugs without rebooting).
I think it's safe to say that the alternative to ambiguity would be a lot more symbols, I'm not sure that would help.

I find that it's very seldom that I struggle to understand an expression because of limits in the notation system, I think this is more a case of someone coming from computer science, where notation by necessity is completely unambiguous, and being dissatisfied with math notation on a philosophical level.

Math notation is a bit like writing down spoken languages, the intention is to provide just enough information so that a native speaker can understand which word is being referenced. It's definitely not to provide an encoding of the sounds that can be decoded by anyone with a simple table of correspondences.

Sometimes I find myself looking at an expression and understanding what is meant, but not really knowing _how_ I can understand it. Like when you intuitively can pronounce a word you've never seen before, but you can't consciously determine what rules you applied to arrive at that pronunciation. I think that is beautiful!
It doesn't mention flex at all...
> go to definition (I haven't searched for this functionality, so I don't know if it exists)

It's a pretty fundamental code navigation feature. You said "There hasn't been one feature that and IDE has that I used, which can't be achieved in vim (or via a plugin)", but it seems you haven't used any significant IDE features. Have you tried refactors like "rename" (method, class, variable, field) or "extract method"? Have you tried searching for overriding methods? Have you tried inlining variables or extracting expressions to variables? Have you tried debugging? Evaluating expressions during debug is something you can do in Java and Eclipse [1] / IDEA [2].

Or, if you want something really impressive, how about Async stacktraces?[3] It shows all the frames for both the spawning thread and the spawned thread in the same stack during debug.

There are a lot of really cool features in IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA have which are impossible to achieve with plugins in VIM, simply because IDEA parses the code and works at AST level. Not only that, but there are hundreds of inspections, automatic fixes and refactors which work perfectly (or almost perfectly) on top of that AST.

Searx – an optionally selfhosted search engine that you control
Most of these plugins make Vim more like ST. Having switched from ST to Vim I have spent lots of time trying to add in the bits I miss.

But there are benefits of Vim that ST are ever likely to have fully:

* Open Source

* Editing inside ssh

* The programmable way of editing which you'll never teach yourself if you don't dive in. I can't even quantify if this is better, but it feels better and you only need a few percent improvement over your editing/refactoring speed to be worth it over the years

* fully custom, you set it up exactly the way you want it. I never felt tempted to create shortcuts in ST, but it's much more standard in Vim

* it's good to understand Vim's way of editing even if you go back to other editors

* in theory you can pretty much do everything that ST can do in Vim but I don't think you'll get the full power of Vim if you try to recreate it in ST
Interesting article.

The money quote is the part about insight:

The best strategies are built on top of great insights. Generally, I'd consider a strategic insight to be an understanding of “the true nature of something” (a customer need, market dynamic, or future trend) and/or its relationship to other important environmental factors. There's also a forecasting component to insights. Strategic insights commonly identify opportunity gaps in time — such as the difference between the current state of something and its anticipated future state.

iPhone X Named 'Most Breakable iPhone Ever'
The funny part is an 18yr old is probably thinking he is too young for the most part to pursue AI. A 25 year old is thinking he needs to be part of an AI program to pursue AI and that real AI is done by the people in their 30s. As someone in their 30s, I have met gray/white haired PhDs pursuing AI in deeply humble ways.

There is no age that you can't do anything you want to do. But in common ground with what you are saying, the older you get the less time you have. The older you get, the more adrift you become of like minded individuals. The older you get, the tougher, less excited, and less patient you become with learning new things. But at the same time, you become "more" in so many other ways.

All creatures are not only created equal, but remain equal even as time progresses and skills/attitudes/energies are gained/learned and lost.
As a "strategic mistake" counter-argument: It is possible that AMD would go under without this deal.
Open source hardware in the microcontroller world isn't quite as big of a deal as it is in the software world. While it would be great to see the processor architecture and all, I would much rather have an ARM that I know works and won't have to look at.
I believe modern Arduinos are going to Cortex processors which are ARM as well, so I don't think the open source claim is what keeps Arduino hardware going. It is most likely going to be ease of use, accessibility, community and the tools.
The important point is that in the case of OpenSSL, anyone who wanted to know could know, and plenty of people knew. Not the specific vulnerabilities, but the horrible quality of the code base was not just something that you could discover by looking at the source, it is something that plenty of people did discover. Also, obviously, anyone could in principle fix vulnerabilities they find in OpenSSL, without any need to wait for the OpenSSL project or anyone else to do anything.

If you are paying very close attention you'll see that Tor hasn't been as reliable against well funded state actors for a while now. This is probably one of several vulnerabilities, and IP ownership at a given time is something readily accessible to most states if they really need it. It isn't going to go to catching petty criminals, but it could be used to catch a mole or a leaker.

In principle, it sounds like a really good idea, but most references I can find are years even decades old. Why is this?
Not quite, and for various reasons.

What would you want by way of input on such a device? I've been working on something like this based on TI OMAP CPUs, and the hardest thing (after a decent semi-open SoC) is getting a decent keyboard.

I think the N800 was probably the pinnacle of handheld Linux devices (or the Psion 5 series if you step outside of Linux). You could look at the Raspberry Pi handheld game console options out there, but ultimately there's little that can compete with a Pi Zero, battery pack and ILI9341 screen on price.
Any opinions you'd like to share about Wire relative to other secure chat applications? I've been debating Keybase, but I'm unsure how to rank the secure chat apps, honestly.
Best is very subjective. And I as an Australian look at this from that view. I do think it would be fair to say this period gave 2 very core human benefits to the masses better than any other period; security and opportunity.

Security being access to; income, housing and healthcare.

Opportunity being; social mobility and access to education.

IMO these 5 points should be the core goals of a functioning society. Outside this much of the rest works itself out.

I can't imagine they would do this without a new licensing deal. Essentially, they are handing over their APU technology. I still think their ryzen chips are likely cheaper to produce and equally performant to Intel's. So overall they are still a solid option.

This just helps them make inroads with Intel who already locked up much of the laptop market. I'm pretty convinced there was no way AMD could enter that market for a few years in any meaningful way regardless.
I'd say "wide spread" not "popular".
