A better analogy is that there's a fire somewhere in your village, but it's mostly contained (it's not spreading, because other people don't know about it yet). By hollering about it, you've made it possible for anyone to go to the fire, light a torch with it, and burn down the village. Instead, you could call up the fire department and they could put it out–and then you could tell everyone about it.
This looks closer to an industrial product than many new battery technology announcements. The cathode chemistry isn't exotic. The efficiency is high and stable (supplementary table 3). The rate capability is good. The specific energy is quite good. The cycling stability is pretty good.

The trickiest part looks like the chemical vapor deposition of graphene onto SiO2 nanoparticles. CVD is a slow growth process that I normally see applied to creating precise, thin layers on flat substrates. I think it would be hard to scale this up to industrial (tonne per day) quantities of coated particles. Is it possible to replace that process with something like a fluidized bed reactor? I'm out of my depth here regarding paths to scale-up -- I have a chemistry background, but I'm not qualified to comment on most chemical engineering.
So... You found bacteria on your swab while orbiting the largest and only known source of bacteria in the universe and you think it might not be from that largest and only known source of bacteria? Bah!

Did you read even my comment?

Where did i claim this?

>ut to make the claim that it overthrows all other architectures from the throne is not only a bit daring

It is always fascinating how much people do extrapolate when the want to believe something. It is going to overthrow and it is overthrown is two quite different thing if you can think critically.

>You have also misspelled RISC-V, indicating that you are not really aware of the market and architecture

Again. This just like you other analysis, which is based on flawed logic and not being intelligent enough.

Rest assured I have wrote enough Chisel, and I would bet I am more familiar about interenal of most architecture than most people in topic (since my grad school work is focused on outputing chisel via LLVM).

One extra lesson for you: dont extrapolate and judge based on appearance. Look at what they are saying deep down.

And don’t based your judgement on spelling, particularly in unofficial context. Some people only have time to comment when they ar in bus or something.

>If they objection is to the technology: Lots of companies use special techniques to avoid creating a paper trail. It's called "phone calls"

I had a friend who worked at a nonprofit who always knew when the general counsel wanted to discuss something sensitive - because he'd call on your office phone. (I suspect he thought it was harder to record a phone call than a 1:1 convo)

What's funny is he didn't realize that the mere chain of calls contained metadata. For example, if the first workday after a boozy company party the HR rep in charge of the interns gets a call, then an intern, then the intern goes into HR, then a senior staffer gets a call, then the senior staffer goes in to speak with HR... certain inferences can be drawn.

I remember RISC's back in the late 80's/early 90's. CISC's bullied them away and we've been stuck in Intel's quagmire every since. Anytime there's an attack on the status quo, the established players feign concern and beat back the attack then return to the way things were (remember Negroponte's $100 laptop and the netbook response?)

No idea how this will pan out.
I think the lack of choice is key here. There is no driver for efficiency if the patient / customer has no bargaining power.
While there are a couple of similar elements (you can rudimentary read and write data), the use case AppSync is trying to tackle is very different. It's main use case is not to act as the core of your application but rather as a wrapper around various AWS data sources.

There's a new concept called schema stitching which enables you to combine (and re-expose) GraphQL APIs which will make it possible to build a simple server that stitches together both Graphcool (as your primary data backend) and AppSync to easily access other information stored in AWS services. (You can read more about schema stitching here: https://www.advancedgraphql.com/content/schema-stitching)

This doesn't eliminate all loans. It eliminates loans as a component of a financial aid packages.

If you did not qualify for aid & need loans, those will still exist.

I feel there's an "uncanny valley" when it comes to affording college. I came from a family of modest means so was able to attend a top (and expensive) school for very little. As an engineer at a large company I'm pretty sure my kids won't qualify for financial aid, yet it's unlikely we'll be able to afford the sticker price of a top school (~$70k/year/kid).
Build it yourself. Prebuilt gaming machines tend to have highly inflated prices. Alienware is the worst at this.

But also the customization is very valuable. Being able to move budget around to get a top-end GPU at the cost of SSD storage doesn't tend to be possible when you buy pre-built. You might want a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, but every prebuilt gaming machine that includes one might also include a 1 TB SSD, i7 GPU, and and 32 gig of RAM, inflating the price. By building yourself, you can budget for the god-tier GPU by sacrificing the large SSD for a smaller one, going for the i5 CPU which will still be enough power for gaming, and 16 gig of RAM because you don't plan on multitasking while gaming.

> Let's hope Apple gets sued ...
That twitter thread and lots of the comments are missing the point. MANY people don't know about what the ethics of reporting vulnerabilities are, they just want to say something and get it fixed. yes, it probably would have been better if this person had gone through proper channels, but there's no evidence they did it for the lulz/fame.

In this case the bug is so bad and egregious, that publicizing it with the fix might have been the best thing to do -- no telling how many people have already discovered this or how long it would take Apple to fix.

Yes, let's educate each other about what responsible disclosure WITH A DEADLINE TO FIX looks like, but don't assume this person just wanted internet points. And now that the report and a workaround are out there, at least it can be mitigated personally.

Though I imagine there will be some SERIOUS hijinks that result from this until Apple fixes it because it is so easy to do. :(
As the market falls, their portfolio value falls while the loan amount remains constant, increasing leverage. All levered positions must either sell into corrections or let their leverage increase to unacceptable levels. And at some point, the folks lending you money will have the right to call in the loans you took to buy securities.

This automatic buy high / sell low effect is why people like using less leverage in more volatile markets. When volatility is high enough, it starts becoming advantageous to hold cash to buy the dip / sell the peak. The breakeven point between "more money in the market" and "volatility cleans out my position" can be calculated with the Kelley Criterion.
> Western Digital plans to transition future core, processor, and controller development to the RISC-V architecture. The company currently consumes over one billion processor cores on an annual basis across its product portfolio. The transition will occur gradually and once completely transitioned, Western Digital expects to be shipping two billion RISC-V cores annually

I think that paragraph captures pretty well what they are doing; basically swapping out their current (proprietary) cores for RISC-V cores. I don't see any indication that the processors would be any more user accessible than current controllers. Considering the numbers presented, simply doubling the number of cores seems fairly conservative estimate, they will probably do that without any major paradigm shifts.

Edit - Nevermind, I must have confused the personal experience of myself and multiple people in my professional network with a satirical television show.
Indeed. My intuition based nothing other than my subjective experience is that there are times that throwing away the code is the correct decision, but they are a rounding error compared to the times that people want to throw away the code, so to a first order of approximation "never start over from scratch" is correct.

Simply shifting the burden of proof to the "rewrite" side is usually sufficient. Where I currently work a rewrite request is not answered with "no" but "show me the data." 90% of the time the requester doesn't even try to gather data, the other 10% of the time results in some useful metrics about a component that everyone agrees needs some TLC, whatever the final decision.

>Why should a college even choose the highest academic performers? It's an educational institution, not a contest.

It will inherently be a contest as long as admission rates are below 100% and schools' reputations are non-uniform. If you shake up admission criteria to be more holistic and less weighted on academic performance, applicants will refocus their attention and compete to satisfy the new set of criteria (at least those within their control).

I definitely wouldn't argue that colleges are optimizing for greatest societal benefit, but it would take a lot to truly align their self-interest with a selection process that doesn't heavily consider academic performance (particularly for private universities).

In its filing, Waymo said it was inadvertently copied on an email from one of its suppliers with drawings of Uber’s circuit board design for its lidar technology, short for light detection and ranging, ” that are laser-based sensors used in self-driving cars. Waymo said Uber’s design bore “a striking resemblance” to its proprietary and highly secret design and infringed on Waymo’s patents.

Or just didn't know what the best practice was.

Since this is a flaw any user can run into, I wouldn't get so mad about someone who doesn't know best practice running into it.

I am much more concerned that such an obvious tractable flaw exists in the first place.
>> A RISC-V server or desktop processor would have to be created essentially from scratch.

I'd love to see AMD or Intel build a chip on the RISC-V instruction set and use all their existing infrastructure around that. I would not be surprised it they could achieve higher benchmark performance than their x86 offerings. For someone else to achieve the same level of performance will take a while, but there are multiple groups working on it.
Having tested this by both approaches (disabling through GUI & shell), the above (through shell) seems to prevent this from re-occurring when you attempt to perform this bogus login again. Disabling the account via the GUI causes the failure to re-occur.
I think that your friend was pulling your leg. The oxalate esters and hydrogen peroxide in a glow stick shouldn't be ingested, though the actual dye that gets excited to fluorescence would be relatively harmless.

That is interesting - can you recall some instances of this occurring?
Witness testifies Uber had team to steal trade secrets and hide evidence
I used to write for Wired and fielded thousands of pitches. A lot of the advice in this post is good, especially giving reporters a week or more to work on the story, but the embargo advice is not great.

It's not a problem with the honor code, it's the overhead. Don't make writers interact with you. You'd be surprised by how little TechCrunch writes about early-stage startups anymore. In a given week of 250-300 stories, there might be 10-20 that are early-stage companies who have raised <$10M and don't have a truly novel hook (our co-founder used to be in prison!).

Send over the entire press kit, full description, etc. in the first email. Generally, if you tell the reporter you're announcing on X date, they'll not publish before that. Especially if you're launching a new product or something, they don't want to link to your site when the newsworthy bit isn't live.

My advice for most startups is to reach out to TechCrunch, the best publication in your vertical (e.g. Skift for travel), and a local tech paper/site. For something as routine as a small fundraise or YC announcement, try to get three good clips. In a given YC class there are literally dozens of companies with the same basic story so don't try to position yourself as you've got inside info on the new iPhone.

If your company is legitimately novel, so novel that your grandparents would get the pitch and be interested, by all means go wide, but for the average "We help people find cheaper airfare" or some SaaS thing just choose a few high-value targets and get back to work.

It doesn't seem so. I think they're just switching the internal processors that do LBA translation, error correction, bad-block marking etc over to RISC. And then their marketing department took that decision and ran with it in a completely different direction.

Besides for APFS what user visible killer features has Apple made to Mac OS since 10.6.8? I'm sure they have made internal non user visible improvements to their kernel and userland. But it seems most of the "changes" to Mac OS is just churning code, or at least it seems that way from the outside.

To me personally 10.6.8 + Security Updates + APFS is extremely close to the ideal operating system.
