Read up on Citizens United. Limitations on spending on election campaigns were declared unconstitutional, because money buying speech is protected by free speech. Basically, the only way to save democracy in the USA from the clutches of oligarchy is constitional reform, which is unlikely given the required vote size and the opposition, which includes all the large financial interests as well as constitution worshipers and free speech absolutists.
Ask HN: Ryzen motherboard with true ECC support?
I'm considering building my home server with Ryzen, but information about ECC support is inconclusive: some motherboards only support non-ECC, while others claim "ECC in non-ECC mode" kind of support.

Which motherboard do I need to actually benefit from ECC features?
If I'd need to carry my laptop around, this would be my choice too. It's just a very nice laptop, small and the keyboard is the best in class as with all business ThinkPads.

But I mostly use my laptop at home, so having a T-series gives a bit better performance and upgradeability in a still small package.
Happy Dell XPS 13 user here. I have been using it for the past 3 years without any issue. In the same timespan many of my coworkers had to replace/return macbooks (kb glitches, screen issues, battery problems etc).

I was a thinkpad only person before that, but the quality went downhill.

I am tempted to buy a pixelbook and use linux on it next, the specs/price/quality seem just right.
You'd still need a cache, because you shouldn't be hitting the Twitter API every time you load a page. Then you might have to add a frontend cache to avoid having to regenerate the HTML every time. This solution allows you to avoid those two caches while being more efficient, since everything is only generated once.

1. People who believe they can affect their own future and have control over there circumstances tend to have higher self-esteem and happiness. That tells you at least something about what you might _want_ to believe.

2. Montesquieu had a theory that people in history rode the wave of what was happening at the time, so Napoleon would not have become Napoleon if he was born in a different time, _but_ if Napoleon had not take control, someone else would have, since circumstances were ripe. Therefore, a person who knows how to read the events & choose a good strategy for the time in which they live will usually be at least moderately successful, and someone incapable of that will nearly always be mediocre. There are outliers and extremely fortunate or unfortunate events, but part of strategy is not becoming a negative outlier and optimizing for higher success. You may miss a specific opportunity, but if you are always looking for opportunity, you will find one of the ones that come along.

I've heard this, but I still see no law on the books, and a very strong push for the FCC to remove the regulations that are currently in place.

I'd believe them if I saw an effort to put a replacement plan in motion before repealing.

How can this ever become an efficient market unless CME accepts BTC as collateral?

If I sell futures contracts against 10 BTC, and I have 10 BTC in my Bitcoin wallet, I’m fully hedged, and I take no risks (provided the wallet in question is sufficiently secure).

If CME requires USD as collateral, how would I hedge my position? If the BTCUSD price rises 10%, I can’t sell my BTC for USD (to use as collateral) because then I’d expose myself to further price increases before expiration.

Unless I’m missing something, this will become an inefficient market, bottlenecked by the ability of contract sellers to come up with USD collateral.

A solution could be to collect a Bitcoin public key for contract buyers, and require sellers to send the BTC amount covered by the sold contracts to a "collateral BTC address" which can be redeemed in two of the following ways a) by the contract seller, e.g., 7 days after expiration of the contract b) by the contract buyer+CME (2-of-2 multi-signature) after expiration of the contract. CME would keep the USD proceeds, from selling the contract, in the seller's account at the CME. If the Bitcoin USD settlement price doesn't rise to more than the contract selling price, CME would simply transfer the settlement price USD amount from the contract seller's to the buyer's account. If the price rises a lot, the buyer of the contract would be able to (by CME providing a signature as well) redeem the bitcoins sitting at the "collateral BTC address", and sell the bitcoins at the current market price (which the contract buyer would have 7 days to do before the contract seller can redeem the bitcoins himself).

This way, CME doesn't store any bitcoins themselves, and contract buyers are responsible for keeping their own private keys safe (optimally, private keys should be generated on an offline device, and the public key safely transferred to an online computer). In order to steal BTC collateral, an attacker would have to steal both the contract buyer's and CME's private key.

You're probably asking the wrong question. When you oppose "open source" to "free", the term "free" is usually not used in the sense of "free beer" but in the sense of the free software movement, since open source software isn't necessarily "free".

When it comes to monetization, you might want to ask, what exactly people are willing to pay for -- the right to install % use the software, to modify the software, to get support etc. -- for what type of software.

On other hand it looks to be about a meter longer than most trucks in Europe so that would mean it has to use shorter trailers, and I do not think the weight has been released yet, but I think it is going to be more than trucks now. And the maximum permitted weight in EU is 40 (except if you transport containers then it is 42).

Eric, how is your service tied to GitHub? As far as I understand it, you simply are a matchmaker for developers and advertisers. And you track clicks to the advertisers urls. Where the developers put the links to those urls is not your decision, right?

If so, I don't think GitHub has an angle to attack you.

A developer with a Commission Junction account could very well put CJ links in their README. That would not give GitHub a vector to attack CJ.
Two impressions: 1. when I saw the original Hinton proposal of capsule networks, I thought it was kind of halfway to a hofstadter-style cognitive machine from his work "conceptual slippages". Now understanding it more, I am more confident in my assessment.

Where did you get that? The STL implementations I know definitely don't. See https://github.com/llvm-mirror/libcxx/blob/master/include/li... for an example - __list_node_base contains the pointers, __list_node contains the object and derives from __list_node_base, so allocating the node with object and pointers is one allocation.

I understand your frustration: in an ideal world, we should be able to easily reward people who contribute to the greater good, and open source developers are certainly in that category.

However, this reward may not always be money: community recognition and extended network, better chances of hiring, or attribution from projects that depend on you should also be considered.

Yeah, it is valid to say that funding needs to be improved. But while ads provide a way, it is a stretching to call it the only or the right way. Maybe open source development is just fine with corporate sponsorship + people doing it in their free time. Maybe developers are repelled by ads so much that it actually hinders contributing to interesting projects. Maybe charity and donations work better we just haven't figured it out yet (see Patreon, which had a surprising success, despite the skepticism around microfunding).
We just need to move to full-on direct democracy. Not representative.

Then there would be fewer questions about "what the people actually want."
yeah, that's some conspiracy docutainment on Youtube...

Of course there are cases of corruption. That Maltese EU commissioner last year comes to mind. But it is vastly different than the problem in the US.

That's because the US has largely legalized corruption. First, through corporate personhood and "money is speech", corporations (and people) won the "right" to give almost unlimited money to candidates's campaigns. And just recently, the standards to prove outright corruption were raised. It is now no longer corruption if a politician and some business regularly exchange gifts/money (one way) and political influence (the other way). For it to be illegal, it must now be proven that some explicit payment is directly linked to some explicit political action, in a clearly defined quid-pro-quo.

None of that happens in the EU. The first is easy to check, because, as mentioned before, campaign spending is quite obviously visible. Otherwise, it would be useless. In a competitive state in the US, every third TV ad is for a candidate. In the EU, a typical station runs maybe four or five per day in the last days before an election.

Corruption by direct payments in exchange for favors is harder to quantify, obviously: The absence of cases can mean none happen, or that that none of them come to light.

But specifically for the EU, it just wouldn't work very well. There are so many people involved with any given decision, you would have to bribe two or three dozens to start making a difference. Between the commission, parliament, council, and subject-specific bureaucrats in each of the member states, any unusual actions favoring special interest are bound to be noticed.

There is also no clear indication of any such shenanigans in the laws and regulations actually passed. Yes, I'm sure there are many examples of regulations people might disagree with. But it is hard to characterize EU legislation as anything but pro-consumer. Case in point: surely the European telecom industry would have managed to stave off free international roaming if it were that easy?

Of course there's lobbying. That's how it works. Business are not, after all, the mortal enemy of societies. And consumer- or environmental-protection, pro-science, or pro-transparency groups have over the last years become much better organized, and influential.

The EU specifically is terribly afraid of public opinion. That regulation about cucumbers and their bending was repealed a few years back, even though it didn't hurt anyone (and is now unofficially enforced by the market itself). It was simply used to attack the EU so often, the people working their got annoyed and scrapped it.

But in the long term, even local farming is probably a better idea than the current debt-based economy that depends on imported goods from for example China, especially when even central farming with long distance shipping of foods has its costs.
I don't see the problem. The analogy breaks a bit. If people want to stop using Netflix, they don't occupy any "road".

They occupy 37% (trusting the source) because that's how much people want to use their service, not because they force themselves on "the internet".
Exactly I think most of the times people want free software, as you said the open aspect is for the ones who want transparency, do security audits, modify etc.

I wonder though if open but not free (can contribute but not fork) is sustainable or even doable. Is there a standard license type for this kind of software?

I really think economists should get mandatory training in evolutionary biology to get a feeling of how even the smallest glitches in the system, loopholes so small as not to be visible even under detailed scrutiny are unavoidably exploited by opportunistic organisms. Alternatively, some practical work in computer security may help to get the same point across.

For someone who didn't know about this, what did the links look like?
Well, if you as an ISP advertise and sell subscriptions for 200mbps (with the “up to” hidden in 7pt, 10 pages down into the contract) and customers buy the service it is none of your business how those 200mbps are being used, only to shuffle them along at the speed that has been paid for.

If the sold speed is only achievable when nobody else in the neighborhood is using the service then it’s a lie, and it’s no one else’s fault but the ISP’s if they get caught
> especially on the planetary plane

We do in fact already concentrate our efforts to look for objects near the ecliptic. It's the number one recommendation followed by amateur asteroid/comet discoverers. But actually, interstellar objects might be more uniformly distributed - even Oort cloud objects are supposedly non-aligned with the ecliptic. If anything, I'd expect interstellar objects to be slightly more likely to come from directions roughly along the galactic plane.
But maybe not, and probably not.
Everyone worries about slippery slopes, but I think that limits should exist. Perhaps if you are consuming more than 10% of Internet’s bandwidth, you should have to pay some kind of tax to ISP’s, and those funds should then be required to be reinvested in the network to make it more reliable or increase bandwidth. That seems like it would be an all-around win.
This isn’t as discoverable as it should be, but you can put your finger on the volume “key” and slide without pressing the button, waiting for slider, then sliding. I think I actually like adjusting volume on the Touch bar better than the old way.

Best advice is to find healthy emotional alternatives. Spending time with family and friends. Volunteering, exercising. Above all try to appreciate that you deserve to be alive. Love thyself. IMHO, underlying a lot of these addictions is an underlying death wish caused by a deep sense of unworthiness.

All we know about drinking and yet we still do it. Or fentanyl and opioids. The death rate keeps rising. I can only imagine is that the people who are doing it are doing it as a subconscious act of suicide.

Forwards are physically settled. Futures are cash settled. They are different products which don’t depend on each other to exist.

His buddy isn't being blocked by a clunky workflow, though. His friend has trouble starting because he can't see his writing in a font that he likes.

I'd suggest that the friend write his first post in Word or somesuch with a font that he likes. Then, when he has a good first post, export it to the blog.
I was in a very very similar situation, working as a software engineer on highly important safety critical systems I was at the peek of my career and very successful. But I was working way too hard, not sleeping and drinking more and more booze. It was OK but borderline. Then a couple of issues pushed me over the limit, and the booze intake got higher and higher. It took probably 3 years of gradual decline before I had just about shutdown, work was about to fire me and I was in severe mental shutdown. Luckily a friend helped me realise I had a problem, I got help and after a further 3 years I am much better. However it was a close run thing and I think if it had carried on I would have ended up dead. You have managed to realise you have a problem early enough that you can fix it.
There’s also the question of the perfect writing font for non-Roman languages, such as CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), Arabic, Greek, etc.
The 37% is accurate for peak usage. What makes it more complicated to measure is that Netflix and Google have private networks, CDNs that are uploading all of that data during peak usage, which is much closer to the user geographically. They've basically spent billions of dollars to unclog the internet backbone already.
