There are certainly ways of spending money that are more clearly productive than others. But no, the money isn't pissed away just because what is purchased gets consumed. That just means that the path it's on may not be very efficient. It's that path efficiency that ultimately matters, not the value of any one stop. It's a harder thing to measure, because a short, fast path with a few low-productivity stops may be better than a longer, slower path with higher productivity stops, simply because the money gets somewhere else (with a much higher productivity use) faster.
BEN CORT: INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR OF 'WEED, INC.'
You seem convinced that additional appeals can only work in the defendants favor. Suppose that a state supreme court decides to give more rights to defendants under its common law. Suppose the state supreme court finds for a defendant based on that. Allowing the prosecution to appeal that decision to the federal supreme court actually HURTS the defendant.

I'm not saying there's no federalism in Australia. I'm saying that the federalism is substantially limited by having one general common law to rule them all. And also by imposing a single approach to judicial decision making.

Also, I think you continue to misrepresent the situation. You have every right to appeal a violation of your federally-granted rights to the federal Supreme Court. It is only rights granted to you only by your state that cannot, generally, be appealed. As I said above, it also means that prosecutors cannot try to get a decision made for you, by a state court on the basis of state law, overturned by the federal courts. So it cuts both ways.

it's even simpler than that, they add a bunch of spaces after the "fake" url to pad out the actual payload so it doesn't show in the urlbar. any issues with the page content can be fixed with document.write or whatever.
No commission as in no management fee and no carry?
Not paying attention to details in general, I can spend what I want on aws, I have told them I can save them thousands and no one cares until we have a bad month. On top of that 2 times a year we lose a service because a bill wasn't paid , when does it kick in that there is a problem?
Keep your eye on their 10Q statements next quarter. If it is what you say, it should turn up in the financials.
> Most people don't want their own server.

Yes and No.

It is true people don't want their own server because it's too much hassle to set up and maintain, with not much upside.

But we've never actually experienced this so nobody really knows whether people will want this or not. Nobody knew we needed a touch screen phone that works as a computer either. You can only tell AFTER such a thing becomes available.

> No, because their phone doesn't have an always-on high-upload-bandwidth internet connection!

This is exactly the infrastructure problem I was talking about. It has nothing to do with the hardware ability itself. In case you're still thinking your iPhone is a crappy computer, No, the iPhone in your pocket is already performant enough to function as a full fledged server. It's the network that doesn't support it.

> It's more likely that everyone will get an automatic slice of a good server somewhere

Unless this comes as completely free AND it comes built into the device, people won't likely jump onto using something like this because there are free alternatives.

If you think about it, every iPhone user owns their "own cloud" (iCloud). This was unthinkable several years ago. Same thing may happen when people can have servers running on their own devices.

My point was, if the infrastructure can evolve to match the type of things devices can already do, all mobile devices will suddenly turn into p2p devices overnight. And a lot of powerful things can happen.
There is a Nitro security chip that is integrated into the motherboard. SPI and I2C buses are routed through the security chip. During system reset, the security chip holds motherboard components in reset while firmware is inspected out of band. So all contents of flash are verified.

Local NVMe storage is also handled through our Nitro hardware, and the underlying physical flash devices are protected from firmware modifications.

that's right!
What do you mean " extracting meaning "?
Yup, I have looked at the procedure a few weeks ago and found it really easy to manage and ordered the hardware (a pomona clip in my case) to do it. People tend to be scared about opening up their computers, but this is really not hard at all and since you keep a copy of the ROM image, you can always fix it later on should you brick anything.
On Erlang 20 long GCs run on the thread pool for “dirty” (blocking) tasks, they don’t block a scheduler, so the real-time properties are nice.

There have been implementations of Erlang with shared heap in the past, before BEAM became heavily multi-threaded: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2371933_A_Case_for_...

I think it would be nice to see this tried again. Perhaps the issue is scaling to future systems with potentially hundreds of cores?

Money in the bank doesn't increase in value because more people demand it. Bitcoin et al are much closer to a global and decentralized Ponzi scheme than a currency system. I do understand what you're saying, however the biggest difference that makes it a completely different beast is how wealth is redistributed unreasonably weighted towards the earlier adopters. I would likely be all for blockchain crypto-assets working as a currency so long as they were fixed price.
> This is a strong contrast with my experience in trying to patch the vulnerability on an Asus desktop motherboard.

This is why I don't buy "enterprise users" as a reason for having IME. I've never once worked in a company that patched firmware, even though they have specialists capable of it. They want the option to perform enterprise wide upgrades with ease but they aren't willing to pay the true cost of having this ability.

> Discovering those steps required a bunch of trial and error and navigating Asus's really terrible website full of badly named downloads.

Gets even worse when your international. Half the links will be to a US address that will then try to redirect you to a localized one which will then not have the resource you were looking for. Then you've got some really byzantine export restriction procedures and you have to create an account but it still probably won't work. I've had these issues with ordinary drivers too, it's the biggest reason I support the linux in kernel tree and no stable ABI model, it's better for users.

You won't see that scary <script> in the URL unless your browser window is super-wide.
Drawbacks, well it's slower than other language ( Java, C#, Go ), it's not typed, the deployment / process liveness mechanisms are now useless with Kubernates / Docker that are better at doing that and language agnostic.

Neural networks are powerful without even training them. By merely designing the structure of them you are creating something.
Take photo of each barcode, print, scan in sequence... I imagine location would be tracked in tandem making it harder, or obviously suspect if there is no location data provided. It’s all very short sighted, they will eventually be caught & fired, most likely through non-technical means.
I participated in one of these group interviews recently and it felt like I was in the Hunger Games.

Had he gone off to live happily alone in the mountains as a Buddhist monk, he would've been similarly unproductive. I assume you would've found that more admirable

Yeah, I am done with this. In spite of me stating that this is not about moralizing, you keep projecting moral nonsense onto me.

The only thing I am talking about is this guy blew through a lot of money in a single weekend and this had long term negative repercussions for his entire life. He went back home to his parents and then never really cut the umbilical cord again. It interfered with his ability to live as he saw fit for many years afterwards and to this day. He threw away his one shot at ever getting to be an adult and live on his own terms.

To be perfectly clear, if he had blown through all that money for cocaine and sex workers, come back revitalized, stood up to his parents and said "Yeah, I don't care about your opinions about my life" and sold his second car to make it possible to keep his independence, I might well feel that was money well spent. But that isn't how it went down. Instead, he tucked tail, moved back home and then never lived down what an untrustworthy "loser" he was in the eyes of a lot of people whose opinions mattered to him.

Edit: Trying to stop using the F word like a substitute for very.
I've even had people on vacation go into meetups to get to know locals. So I assume yes. Not something I'd do.
Can you please consider offering ECC memory in your laptops?
ECC is a very important technology for businesses. Errors in non-ECC memory, while somewhat rare, are not once-in-lifetime-of-universe, they are more like 1 bitflip per year kind of thing, which for some businesses can be considered worth talking about.

There is a demand for this, and almost no one is doing this.
The only other company that has done it so far is Lenovo, and if you know anything about privacy and hidden adware and history of spyware - you will not buy any Lenovo product.

ECC memory would require a Xeon, but it would be possible to underclock it to bring it to a mobile heat emission profile.
Hadoop isn't Oracle. If you need to write a file to the data lake, you write it. If you need to read something out you do that too. There's no schema, it's actually a file system with actual files in it, like your shared drive. Except that it's distributed, can handle arbitrarily large files and lets you perform queries on those files instead of downloading all 2TB to access a single row.
Splendor has a high initial spike, but the appeal wears off surprisingly rapidly. I've had a lot more longevity out of something like Carcassonne (measured in years) than Splendor (measured in months), when played every day. Splendor also requires a lot of concentration, which can be fatiguing.

IMHO all the people who claim having intelligence and education sufficient for a finance job should be able to use at least basic SQL and/or R and/or Q to work with up-to-date information straight from the databases without importing it to a spreadsheet first. Perhaps I am terribly wrong but my intuition suggests entrusting a company finance to a person unable to learn some SQL/R may happen to be a questionable idea.
At my Google screening interview, I was asked "How would you teach recursion to a 7 year old child ?"

Apparently, the correct answer was Romanesco broccoli.

I failed the interview and briefly sank into a depression questioning everything I knew about raising young children, self-similarity and recursion.
My theory is that the public date announcements are actually a bit of a perverse incentive to motivate his employees to work longer hours to meet the arbitrary date specified.

Oh, it's only about job interviews. Sigh. Maybe that should have been obvious to me from the title or URL? I'm fascinated by interviews, but job interviews, not so much. Except this, from my favourite book by a mile about philosophy of art:

"Two men meet; one is the applicant for a position, while the other has the disposition of the matter in his hands. The interview may be mechanical, consisting of set questions, the replies to which perfunctorily settle the matter. There is no experience in which the two men meet, nothing that is not a repetition, by way of acceptance or dismissal, of something which has happened a score of times. The situation is disposed of as if it were an exercise in bookkeeping. But an interplay may take place in which a new experience develops. Where should we look for an account of such an experience? Not to ledger-entries nor yet to a treatise on economics or sociology or personnel-psychology, but to drama or fiction. Its nature and import can be expressed only by art, because there is a unity of experience that can be expressed only as an experience. The experience is of material fraught with suspense and moving toward its own consummation through a connected series of varied incidents. The primary emotions on the part of the applicant may be at the beginning hope or despair, and elation or disappointment at the close. These emotions qualify the experience as a unity. But as the interview proceeds, secondary emotions are evolved as variations of the primary underlying one. It is even possible for each attitude and gesture, each sentence, almost every word, to produce more than a fluctuation in the intensity of the basic emotion; to produce, that is, a change of shade and tint in its quality. The employer sees by means of his own emotional reactions the character of the one applying. He projects him imaginatively into the work to be done and judges his fitness by the way in which the elements of the scene assemble and either clash or fit together. The presence and behavior of the applicant either harmonize with his own attitudes and desires or they conflict and jar. Such factors as these, inherently aesthetic in quality, are the forces that carry the varied elements of the interview to a decisive issue. They enter into the settlement of every situation, whatever its dominant nature, in which there are uncertainty and suspense." - John Dewey, Art as Experience
Hi I'm a mostly average Linux user just now learning about these hardware back doors as I'm planning on building a new computer. Can I avoid the disadvantages of ME et al by building my own computer from a separate motherboard and CPU? I remember reading that somewhere but I haven't see it explored again.

My first thought was "Ah ha! AMD CPU!", but they seem to be in on it too. What's a "normal person" to do?

I don't think really think of it as a game at all. It's more of a shared narrative scenario generator. To be a game, I think there should be a competitive edge, and Betrayal ends up being cooperative for most players.

There is a weird tension between universities preparing people for academia or preparing preparing people for a job.
On the one hand, universities are academic places. They are not job training, they are where you learn the scientific basis of a subject.

On the other hand, cold hard statistics says that most people don't stay in academia (and considering reports, academia is already saturated with willing recruits). So therefore it makes sense that universities prepare people for a job at a company.

This issue is exaggerated in the Netherlands (where I live) because we have a formal difference between 'University' and 'HBO' (Translates to Higher Vocational Training). On the face of it, the former is academic and the latter is focused on getting a job. However, University has higher acces requirements, and is therefore more prestigious. This means that University will probably land you a better job than HBO even though HBO probably prepares you better for doing your job.
Thus, Universities here are focusing on soft-skills and preparing people for the working life. It seems they are forgetting they are academic because people who should be going to HBO are going to university for 'Virtue signaling'. But I digress.

In general, there seems to be an assumption that college will prepare you for life afterwards. It is thought unreasonable that someone with only a college education isn't suited for a job. The response to this is to focus on including such practical matters in a college education; as opposed to encouraging students to get extra-curricular experience.

Haha, they actually do have decent aerospace and mining engineering programs.

Their CS program leaves a little to be desired though.

Maybe via software efficiency. Use less CPU cycles, so the CPU can idle more cores, so it can burn fewer watts.
Devil's advocate: sometimes, knowing the author of a work really can allow a reviewer/reader to make a more accurate assessment of its value.

As an extreme example, if Stephen Hawking submits a paper that calls into question the speed of light as a universal constant, I'm much more likely to take it seriously (and in the peer-review case, would be much more likely to recommend it for publication) than the same paper from some unknown "up and coming" physicist. This is because Hawking is an expert in the field, and I trust that if there were any obvious flaws in the analysis he would be more likely to have discovered them than a randomly-selected unestablished researcher.

No reviewer has time to independently investigate and verify every single claim a paper makes, and knowing that the paper comes from an elite institution might very reasonably be used as a signal that it should be given the benefit of the doubt.
I think we all know the answer to that question :)

I would note that professional bank feed apis (e.g. yoodle) also use username password pairs and not only break when you change password but can result in a locked bank account due to too many retries.

That said, there is no universal solution in the US.

That can be a challenge for some. But it is more common to see people swapping phone numbers, leads, and tips.

Looking for a job is an isolating experience. And you don't often get the chance to connect with people who are in the same boat as you.

And for the people who really can't get past trying to compete against each other..would you want someone like that on your dev team? That's one of the things that this is intended to weed out.
> PS. This makes me wonder whether and to what degree the structure of the brain's connectome is a necessary prior for AGI.

Well, I wouldn't mix up AGI and AGI by deep learning, and more important I would emphasise that this is a good prior for images. The fundamental insight in CNNs and eventually in this work is that there is a correlation between pairs of nearby pixels. We have something similar for video and audio processing, but nothing remotely similar for other more abstract intelligence tasks.

I think the complexity in 7 Wonders is, how should I say, "cheaply" generated. That is, the complexity is right there in the details, and there are so many details. I far, far prefer emergent complexity than that kind of explicitly designed complexity. It's a kind of complexity that rewards nerding out and learning combos and chains.
Even the Palm folding keyboards - especially the rebranded Stowaway XT, but not excluding the original three-fold Portable - were better by far than cheap Bluetooth keyboards are today. It's not even a contest. Sure, for a few keystrokes here and there, you don't really feel the difference - but if you're spending more than a few minutes a day typing on it, you surely do.
The structure of convolutional neural nets specifies much of the prior knowledge necessary for learning. In other words, the design of these neural nets makes a lot of correct assumptions about the nature of images (stationarity of pixel statistics, locality of pixel dependencies, and so on).

Make them an offer: You'll spend your time out of normal office hours to cut down the AWS expense. Add half to your salary, they can keep the other half.

And suddenly, they'll care a lot.

We're having some struggles with this at my workplace too. Engineers and even some management I'm finding rather cavalier about cloud spends. I wish they'd be as cavalier about my salary... "yeah, sure, you want another $200K/year, no sweat, whatevs dude." You don't mind if I click a button and accidentally spend $2K/month on a system that I'm using 1% of, but when it's in my favor suddenly we can't do that.

(I'm not responsible for much in the cloud yet, but I do try to be responsible, even if for now it doesn't seem to benefit anybody. I'm sure at some point someone is going to raise hell about this and I'm not planning on being in the line of fire.)

There probably could still be some market segmentation based on the results of what comes out of the silicon fab. Recall that in the case of CPUs, the circuits on dies of processors from the same line (and different lines!) are the same, but some sections are disabled (blown fuses, cut traces, etc) because those sub-sections didn't make the grade during testing prior to packaging. I've not looked, but I'd not be surprised if that weren't also the case with GPUs as well. Sure, you can enable the extra sections of $mid_range_GPU to make it on-paper-equivalent to $top_shelf_GPU, but it's on you to meet its now-unreasonable power and cooling requirements.

The article and repo seem to be targeting Laptops and there seems to be some specific desktop-related lines in there. In the laptop side of things, it clearly states the Intel ME does not have any function, but it does not say the same for desktops. I imagine the ME is also useless for desktops, but maybe I'm wrong here and there is a reason this distinction is made?
