> AMT is not included in every ME and your computer probably doesn't have AMT.

As far as I know, AMT is on almost every ME implementation, but I'd love to learn more about it. When is it included? What is that based on?

Here's what I know:

1. Every system with the VPro branding includes AMT with remote access (I'm 90% sure of that). Considering the audience here at HN, most of their computers probably are VPro models.

2. Non-VPro models also include AMT, and possibly some have remote access. I recently was working with a non-VPro system that certainly had AMT, but had the Small Business Technology implementation, which purposefully omits remote access.

There's also Standard Manageability, which "appears only on Intel Desktop Boards that support Intel AMT but that do not have a vPro-compatible processor installed"; AFAICT it's a implementation of AMT, and I think it includes remote access. (There are not enough days in the week to sort out Intel's product line, and that was one thing I didn't need to know.)
I don't know anything about this, but how do you make randomness in Ethereum? I assume it has to replicable across any computer and therefore would be pseudo-random and predictable. Do you use something like the NIST randomness beacon at a specified future time?

Show HN: Governed – contact your reps by fax/snailmail
We want to make it as easy as possible for citizens to contact their reps. You can contact your congresspeople at their home/DC office by fax/snailmail/email/phone. It's built with ReactNative and Firebase. We send faxes using the Twilio API, and for snail mail we just print it out and send it in the mail (we figure if stamp costs become a problem, we'll wire up with a bulk mailing service).

In our own experience, it's gratifying to use. The other day, one of my coworkers actually got a personalized letter in the mail from Rep. Roger Williams in response to a fax he sent through the app. Very cool to see. Our hypothesis is that concerned citizens will directly contact their reps if it is sufficiently easy. So we've built an MVP- but we are engineers, not marketers. How do we figure out whether or not this is something people want?

Ideally you should use FODMAP as an elimination diet to determine what food's you react to. I went though it a couple of years ago and discovered that onions (and large amounts of garlic) will give me IBS symptoms. I'm fine with everything else on the FODMAP list. I know others that have discovered they are sensitive to fruits such as apples, pears, etc.

I don't know anyone who has stuck to a strict FODMAP diet long-term.

> Why? I find recursive functions are often simpler to understand and write than iteration.

For simple recursive algorithms, that's true. And those tend to overlap well with ones which don't require assisted tail call tagging or whatever.

Those that do, however, tend to be pretty complicated. And the set of programmers who can understand an interative implementation of them is IMHO rather larger than that which can get their heads around the tail call analysis to know how (and when!) to make it work.
The sheet of paper is a nice analogy though I think people would see it as a sunk cost already and so "have" to use it. The $0.01 per article is a new transaction each and every time.

Given how mindlessly I click around the web going down rabbit holes I can get through (albeit without really reading) a hundred+ pages an hour. It could easily start to add up.
> Glyphosate doesn't last long enough to persist in plants and nobody is spraying wheat right before harvest.

Citation needed!

Snopes says that the underlying practice is real despite a lack of evidence that the glyphosate causes the ailments: https://www.snopes.com/food/tainted/roundupwheat.asp

This paper attempts to draw some kind of causual biochemical link between glyphosate and celiac through metabolic processes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24678255

People spray glyphosate on wheat?

Glyphosate is typically used in conjunction with "Roundup Ready" crops, or before/during planting in "no-till" crops. While Monsanto developed a Roundup Ready line of wheat, it never actually made it to market, AFAIK, so why would you be spraying glyphosate on wheat?

(Serious question; while I have some background in agriculture, I'm not familiar with all of even the common practices.)

ETA: Reading the Snopes link, looks like it's mainly practiced in North Dakota, which explains why I've never heard of it.
> Barely faster than NVMe SSDs when fully saturated.

The Optane products released thus far are all literally NVMe SSDs, which is why their best-case latency isn't much better than that of flash-based NVMe SSDs. They still have PCIe and NVMe protocol overhead to deal with, which the 3D XPoint DIMMs won't have.

The unimpressive peak throughput of the current Optane SSDs is largely a consequence of the Optane SSD controller having a fairly low channel count. A single 3D XPoint DIMM will probably have substantially higher throughput than a current Optane SSD.
To answer the question, I would say yes that's often the case. Even very successful people, and perhaps especially very successful people, are prone to biases. It's hard to argue against your own biases, especially those that have done well by you.

That being said, I don't "get it" insofar as it's not something I particularly want to do or partake of. But, plenty of my peers do and I can see that there is an appeal to them the way that watching professional sports is appealing to me. To each their own, right? If you rewind back enough, you'd laugh at the thought of 'professional' sports, as the concept of professionalism of games that children play was far-fetched.

In the semi-authoritative book on ME, Platform Embedded Security Technology Revealed by Xiaoyu Ruan of Intel, it says that only AMT can access the network (if I remember it correctly).

The book is three years old, so maybe that's changed. Or maybe the functions you describe are part of AMT. I'd be interested in knowing more.

I wonder what the studies considered an error. Are syntax errors counted, or did it focus on runtime bugs? I imagine that syntax errors would really skew the results if they were counted.
Nigeria Female Doctor Becomes the First Home Grown Medical Fellow
I'm a fairly happy MBP 2016 user. I would love to have a single USB-A port. And that is because of the logitech unifying receiver[1], the Elecom wireless trackball dongle[2], or the plantronics voyager uc adapter[3]. These are all USB-A and fit almost flush with the laptop, unless you have to attach a usb-c adapter, in which case you have to stick out 2" with a ridid adapter, or a 6" flexible cable adapter.

Now you're probably thing "but what about bluetooth"? And I'd agree. In fact, I have almost no need anymore for the unifying receiver. Except my elecom trackball isn't bluetooth, and up until this year's Logitech MX Ergo, bluetooth trackballs just were not an option. I still prefer the Elecom over the MX Ergo.

And the plantronics headset? I've gone through so many bluetooth headsets, and this is really the best one I've ever found that lets me switch between phone and PC. However - computer bluetooth leaves something to be desired for VOIP windows and mac). That's where their UC adapter comes in - it makes voice conferences heavenly sounding.

Anyways, these are small nitpicks. When I'm at my desk, my laptop is docked and the various accessories live in the dock. It's really only when I travel or want to use that headset to take a zoom call on my computer from the couch that I find myself missing it. I'd love to just leave that tiny dongle live in the laptop all the time instead of retrieving it (plus usb-c to usb-a adapter) as I'm setting up for the call.

I've just finished my research on web scraping for my company (took me about 7 days). I started with import.io and scrapinghub.com for point and click scraping to see if I could do it without writing codes. Ultimately, UI point and click scraping is for none-technical. There are many data you would find it hard to scrape. For example, lazada.com.my stores the product's SKU inside an attribute that looks like <div data-sku-simple="SKU11111"></div> which I couldn't get. import.io's pricing is also something. I need to pay $999 a month for accessing API data is just too high.

So I decided to use scrapy, the core of scrapinghub.com.

I haven't written much python before but scrapy was very easy to learn. I wrote 2 spiders and run on scrapinghub (their serverless cloud). Scrapinghub support jobs scheduling and many other things at a cost. I prefer scrapinghub because in my team we don't have DevOps. It also supports Crawlera to prevent IP banning, Portia for point and click (still in beta, it was still hard to use), and Splash for SPA websites but it's buggy and the github repo is not under active maintenance.

For DOM query I use BeautifulSoup4. I love it. It's jQuery for python.

For SPA websites I wrote a scrapy middleware which uses puppeteer. The puppeteer is deployed on Amazon Lambda (1m free request first 365 days, more than enough for scraping) using this https://github.com/sambaiz/puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit

I am planning to use Amazon RDS to store scraped data.
Even worse, Facebook seems to allow people to open an account using someone else's email address. I've never had a FB account yet occasionally I get emails from 'facebookmail.com' addressing me by a woman's name (I'm a man) and pestering me with friend suggestions of people I've never heard of. My email has never been compromised, yet Facebook spams it with the assumption I'm part of their network. I will never join their pile of shit spam den, and have never clicked on anything in the emails they send.

>The invariant remains the desire of the West to insure the Turks are down, and that the region is destablized.

That's ridiculous. The West wants to keep the Middle East stable, so that oil flows are guaranteed, to keep the Russians out, and because a chaotic Middle East breeds Islamic terrorists. And so it has taken policies for many decades to ensure this, including supporting Turkey.

However, you are quite right that the West doesn't want a new Ottoman empire that would try to take over Europe, like the old one did.

What's the Difference Between A.I., Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?
I share both sentiments expressed in this post...

I've had powerful, formative experiences that pushed me in new directions such that my values, viewpoints, and knowledge of the world were shaped in ways that feel increasingly significant as I grow older and pursue a fundamental understanding of the world around me. Much of this stems from endeavors that occurred entirely separately from any psychedelic experience, but I find it hard to imagine that I would have explored certain topics and ideas with the same enthusiasm, without those formative experiences.

A few of the topics that I'm referring to are the nature of consciousness and identity, theories of the mind, cognition, the structure and relations of ideas and concepts in the brain, and how such things change over time.

I believe it has also had other significant positive personal effects in terms of how I relate and empathize with others as well as process difficult personal issues, but this is harder to describe.

I don't think these effects happen automatically -- rather, psychedelics are a powerful tool that, with great care and responsibility, can likely be very beneficial for many individuals.

Like any powerful tool, it can be misused or abused, but as humans it is our job to make the most of the positive benefits while safeguarding and being responsible about the negative effects. I do think that many people today don't realize the extent of the positive benefits, and have an exaggerated view of the potential harms.

Ideally, society can carefully and judiciously integrate the positive benefits these substances provide, as we learn more about them in the coming decades.
Yes, you get to fast-track through interviews at multiple companies.

As far as the experience of the interviewers goes, we're pretty careful about it in our on-boarding process. Even more than the experience we look for open-minded engineers who are willing to question their evaluation and constantly work on improving the overall process.

Re: feedback at Google. It's hard for companies to give you access to feedback because of potential legal repercussions and also because it is very hard for them to deal with back and forth that would inevitably occur.

That's another big point that we emphasized early on that seemed like a crazy proposition - fully transparent interview process. That is, anything that a company would see, you see beforehand.

> It's not ridiculous, but it does impose a cost on them, and by extension everyone else dealing with them, because you changed your mind. Whether you should automatically be entitled to impose that cost on everyone else and under what circumstances is not an easy question.

Sure, and that's why we have initiatives like the GDPR that try to answer that question. It's not going to be perfect, but throwing up our hands and giving up isn't an answer either.

> Maybe they need that data for their own financial records. Maybe those records are things they are required by law to keep.

Needing that information to be personally-identifiable is pretty rare, and cases where that information needs to be retained for a long time are even rarer. But in cases where it's necessary, sure, of course, go for it. The point is that the data needs to be collected and kept for a legit business purpose.

> That's a false dichotomy.

No, it's not.

> Practical data protection is almost always going to be about restricting not just the initial collection of data but also how that data may be used and by whom once it has been collected.

That's been shown not to work all that well. Companies lose control of data all the time, whether due to a data breach, or due to unscrupulous practices internally that takes existing data to use in new ways, even if not specifically authorized.

> An isolationist approach where everything can be kept totally secret is impractical, but it's usually not what we really want anyway, since then you couldn't do anything useful and intentional with the data either.

Sure, and nowhere did I suggest that's what I wanted. Please stop putting words in my mouth. I'm totally fine giving out "secret" data if there's a benefit to my doing so. But if there is no benefit to me, then companies should not be entitled to my data.
