Not that Baidu has any foreign market-share, but this seems like something that should prompt a tit-for-tat trade-policy response, even if it's in another area of trade.
To be fair, a good share (I'd say most ? But data is needed ^^) of advertising is designed to make you prefer a brand over an other once you decided you want a new product. I'm not sure there's really a lot designed to make you do a buy decision without a preexisting want (<---
I'm trying to avoid the word need here, because it's definitely not a need, but my english isn't good enough)

You argument still holds that advertising still makes you possibily spend more for the exact same thing, but it's hardly comparable to gambling addictive behaviours in my opinion.

To hell with skylake, I can't wait to build dual eypc servers. I learned about the power of heavy parallelization while sysadmin'ing at a genetics lab, and ever since building a quad CPU opteron system I've wanted more of that kind of server. This time though I only need two CPUs to get 64 cores!

Implications can explain lawmakers actions and encourage said lawmakers to think about revisions to laws in the future. The article was about a proposed law. If X is similar to Y in some way, and X is treated by the law in a well-defined way, then a lawmaker might consider treating Y similar to how the law treats X.
If ISPs are going to gut net neutrality, we need a way to introduce real competition into the market. I wouldn't care if Comcast wanted to sell me access to 5 websites for $99 or whatever crap they're trying to pull if I had the option to switch to a better deal somewhere else.

Strong state and local laws protecting the right to form municipal ISPs would be a good start. Those seem to scare Comcast & friends the most. If corporate ISPs become significantly restrictive, I think we'd see a big upsurge in interest for municipal broadband.
So then he exceeded his goal? Not sure that it made my previous statement any less true.. He still proceeded to kill a fuck load of citizens.
Well the consumer (us) cannot seem to define what we want other than "everything" or point to how the 2014 change fixed issues that were common place. Where is the list of events that were fixed with the change that had not been previously identified and corrected as overreach by an ISP?

Take a look at those pushing "net neutrality" and understand why. I am not saying they are not without merit but both sides have merit but one side is funded by very large monied interest for one reason, they know they can use net neutrality to force what they want to relieve costs on their business interest and never have to pass it on because all onus will be on service providers.

Service providers who have since the prior rule changes have reduced roll out of higher speeds including some very big names (google is one). Why should they? Where is the payoff for adding throughput if its going to get regulated.

I remember the last time it was all regulated, my choice was ISDN provided I could get it or T1 provided I could get it or just suck it up and stay on dial up. With lack of regulation new players came in with higher bandwidth and made it available to me increasing competition. With regulation on service people magically expect higher speed broadban but totally ignore the fact there is no incentive to provided it and once regulated it will be mired in delay after delay and only show where powerful politicians want it.

What is also means if with regulation of service providers they will tell you exactly what services you may use the regulated network for. welcome to China

Yes, the problem is far beyond Cook and it is systemic. People with no investment in the actual work, culture, employees, or purpose of the company (the board and shareholders) are the ones with control over the business. This fundamental disconnect between the people with power and the people who actually do any real work (called capitalism) pushes companies to behave more and more monstrously with no repercussions because "well that's just how it is" -- but that doesn't have to be how it is. Would google employees vote to help authoritarians crackdown on the people in China? I doubt it.

The article is about improving resource utilization, usually very low for cloud users (between 6% and 12% according to McKinsey). It's too bad the article fails to mention resource utilization numbers at Netflix.

Cloud facilities like Google and Twitter have been co-locating workloads using containers for a while now (using Borg or Mesos) but they're still below 40%.

Just because an endeavor is legal, does not make it ethical. I agree with parent: working for a casino is about as unethical as working for a tobacco company. Your work will unquestionably lead to harm in the lives of others.
"rest of Windows 10 is 2025" is not quite right.

There are different versions/branches of Windows 10 that come out every 6 months or so.

Some of the branches/versions are "Long term servicing branches" (LTSB) for enterprise environments, supported for 10 years. There are already two of those. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10#Updates_and_support

For everyone else, the branches are supported for 18 months.

In reality Microsoft can stop supporting your computer's _hardware_ much earlier than that, if your device maker stops supporting it (reminds me of Andriod phones):

And they've already stopped supporting some devices:

I'm merely pointing out that the majority of the fear surrounding this issue seems to originate from one person with an axe to grind.
The main issue I've had is with the awful documentation. They give a good chunk of examples - but I was unable to easily locate a simple listing of all the different ways of referencing things.

For a tool like this; quality documentation really is a must. And it isn't.
It's probably because these cloud companies consider this type of data to be trade secrets. I'm actually surprised they talk so freely about all this. Maybe it's because they're years ahead from the competition, and do not seem to stop innovating.
It's not quite there yet, but very close - consider qutebrowser. Work on per-domain settings is ongoing (so you can disable autoplay for everything but YouTube) and disabling autoplay is present in Qt 5.11 so hooking it up to a qutebrowser setting is probably trivial.

Not sure why this is downvoted. It's an uncomfortable thought but very little change has been brought forth in the US (and the world, historically) with peaceful protest. Too easy to ignore when politicians get paid millions to ignore it.

Think the abolitionist movement (pre-Civil War) was peaceful? Nope. Think women's suffrage was peaceful? Nope. Think Vietnam protests were peaceful? Nope. Think civil rights movement was peaceful? Nope. BLM peaceful? Nope.

Was the Occupy Wall Street movement peaceful? Yup.

Was the protests of NSA spying peaceful? Yup.

Was the Iraq war protests peaceful? Yup.

Was the US Patriot Act protests peaceful? Yup.

Are the net neutrality protests peaceful? Yup.

What's the difference between the peaceful and non-peaceful protests I listed?
@jatsign, would you address these questions? I can answer the second one (you would tether to Ether in order to establish enough reserve value to back a certain amount of USD, since you can't reliably back a crypto with a fiat currency as we see with this Bitfinex business).

But some of the other questions are good ones, can @jatsign address them?

Sorry, but that's hurting the conversation.
> (except - I think interrupts use the kernel stack? Otherwise triggering an interrupt would clobber the red zone, which should be preserved, since it pushes the return address and flags IIRC? So interrupts don't "use" the red zone)

Interrupts may use the kernelstack, you can use the userstack but this is trouble if they don't uphold the redzone, which they may not.

The redzone is a mere suggestion the compiler may apply when it exposes functions elsewhere. The stack is mostly free game.

When you are writing a kernel, the red zone is off, I may have worded this wrong previously. The userspace should use the redzone, the kernel can't, interrupts must not assume a redzone since they don't have the time to add or sub from the RSP.

>wouldn't that also mean any function can assume the 128 bytes below RSP are actually mapped?

The stack is always sort of mapped and not at all. Normally the stack region is unmapped in the page table. Should a process run the stack into an unmapped region, the OS will generally map this region if memory is available. And because programmers are silly, the OS will also happily map memory way above the last mapped page if accessed.

Go setting up a 104 byte stack only means that the runtime assumes the vDSO will not use more than 104 bytes of stack and another go routine may be allocated just after those 104 bytes. So if the vDSO does it's stack probe 4k into foreign stack just under the current thread stack, it will cause a race condition on the memory write.

The stack probe is there to prevent overflowing the stack into the heap, there is always a guard page between user memory and user stack which will kill the task if it is accessed. So the probe will jump into this guard page and kill the program if any funny business is going on.
On the other hand... How ever shitty my life is, it's not as bad as being a paralyzed, blind Indian beggar. So by comparing, I can actually feel better about myself!
> Maybe he even cares as a human being (if he doesn't -> psychopath), but with his CEO hat on he certainly does not.

Aren't CEOs and managers even trained to think that way in business school? For instance the "shareholder value maximization" idea, which teaches the sole responsibility of a corporation is to make the most money it can for its shareholders, and damn everything else.

That's a problem the Chinese have managed to avoid, even if it's been in a corrupt way. It seems like they make the local companies prioritize the policy objectives of the authoritarian government ahead of absolutely maximizing the profit interests of their shareholders.

Can anyone with a more studied background in economics help hypothesize the after-effects on Bitcoin and other altcoins if this 814M 'digital counterfeiting' for lack of a better term, is true? For example, 800M has been artificially pumped into the Bitcoin and general crypto ecosystem, like air in a bicycle tire.

And this is a game theory sort of question, too:

If this is true: now, what?
Did you ever consider that what you are asking is actually unethical and immoral? It's also ironic that you are asking private entities to use their monopolies to purposefully slow their services down to manufacturer outrage for political purposes. This could even backfire and give even more credence to folks who support the repeal of net neutrality in their believe that governments will use regulation like this to exert power on the people. Historically, governments around the world have been main perpetrators of using the internet to censor, throttle and restrict the rights of citizens, not ISPs.

This trips my bullshit detector:

> They never signed an agreement with the recruiter in the first place, he cold called them with my resume.

No, the recruiter cold called them, sent them a contract, received a signed copy, THEN sent your resume to them. This is the ONLY reason new potential employer wants you to lie.

For myself, I know if an employee will lie for me, they will lie to me. In your position I would view it as a test to see if I’m a liar, and set up the win/win. Either I pass the test, or I am rejected by a sociopath boss who will lie to me and rip me off. Because know this, bad actors try to lure you into a false sense of security...”I would never do that to you” they say. The truth is, their behavior is not victim-dependent. Their behavior lies in wait and when the opportunity arises, they will do that to you too.

at this point you lost a lot of money not investing and it still look like an up-and-coming technology, in the future Solidity developers will be in demand like React developers.
Then you just move the routing problem to your gateway/router, and it'll end up exploding because of too many routes in the table (one per container), instead of only one per container host.

Or maybe I'm wrong. :)
> Its been an amazing ride, but also a huge kick in the balls making more money while you sleep than working your whole life. It certainly changes your view on things.

I guess having a 'fuck you' amount of money would probably make you just work on your own projects full time instead of working for a boss.

Honest question, what changes can we expect as ISP consumers if this happens?

Google "doing the needful" to now slurp up India's data as well is not a net good.
This is why I wish there was a ROM that's purely focused on bringing the latest stock Android to as many devices as possible.

Right now it looks like the most popular cross device ROMs are projects like LineageOS and OmniROM, which are excellent ROMs with plenty of compelling features over stock Android, but the modifications they make to implement those extra features do incur a non-trivial cost in terms of resources needed to support newer versions of Android.

I'd be completely willing to give up all of the extra features they offer if it means I can get a cross device ROM that tracks major Android updates much more closely (ideally weeks in delay instead of months).

Maybe something like this already exists?
This is an uncivil, low-effort dismissal. Hacker News doesn't need any of those, so could you please not post them?

No it is not. Every company to some extent, does something that can be viewed as unethical. Whether its selling user data without notice, or fancy tax practices, etc. The old saying "Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house" applies here.
It probably got downvoted because people think violence is the absolute wrong way to go about things and assume getting to that level means you've lost a moral battle.

>Age fixes that. Used to feel much the same. Now (approaching 50) I just couldn't give a shit anymore.

Oh I don't know. If I'm 50 and am making enough to retire at 65, and my friend retires at 52, I think it will still get to me.
Exactly. I'm curious if the author continued using Go for a bit of time, if they would still write the same article.

Some of the concepts the author took issue with, such as receiver arguments or multiple return values never felt all that unusual for me, but that's probably because I'm quite familiar with a language like Python, where these concepts are pretty common if you've ever written a class or written a function that `return a, b`

The final argument, that Go's concurrency is somehow not concurrency, or all that special is a bit too much for me. That section needs some editing, but if anything, they unintentionally make the point that Go's concurrency IS simple.
Well, the article's author assumes every GNU/Linux sysadmin is running bash as the default interactive shell for root, and systemd as the init/login/logger/network/<and satan knows what else> daemon, which is not true. Many distributions using the linux kernel avoid systemd and bash as part of the defaults, for lots of different reasons, so from a technical point of view I think the article is useless.
There are three issues I have with this:

1. "Quality" for management decisions are notoriously ill defined for the same reason that we never know if we did the right thing with the economy: the experiments can never be repeated.

2. The example serves to explain what a decision is and what a good decision would be, but that is not the concept that needs explanation!

3. "some seeming inefficiency can’t actually be inefficient because the market is efficient and inefficiencies will quickly be eliminated." is not the right statement of efficient markets. Rather, the act of trying to make it more efficient is exactly what makes it efficient. So if you see an opportunity, someone exploits it and thus makes it more efficient.
Telecommunications tend to form a natural monopoly. It's a bit like roads and railroads, only you're transporting information rather than people. I looked online and it's got all the common characteristics: there are few close substitutes, the product is non-storable (although, maybe if it gets bad enough in the US we'll start seeing services that mail us USBs full of last week's Hacker News posts), supply is all about location, and fixed costs are unusually high relative to variable costs.
The only takeaway here is: build your brand by having an active Linkedin profile.
Not to mention all scamming and casino ads that are running on Facebook and Google for that matter...
But there's a wider economic ecosystem at risk. By not sharing and proving that Tether is in fact really tethered, they're leading people to the conclusion that there's 800M US artificially pumped, artificially PRICED into some currencies.

That has the effect of adding 800M of fakeness, which may not be a big deal given the market caps of these cryptos, but perhaps more importantly it has the effect of weakening faith in the crypto project.
"do not link sites with autoplay videos" should be added to the guidelines imo.

Population control probably isn't necessary. No one (informed) thinks that the human population is going to grow out of control. It's likely to become stable at around 10-11 billion within 100 years. Birth rates are declining in developed countries and the undeveloped world is rapidly developing.
