A small note to future viewers - This PDF does not mention anything about solution being a threat to the RSA encryption. It provides a mathemetical proof for something which I couldn't comprehend.

Also, on a quite unrelated note - won't any kind of encryption be obsolete of it is proved that P=NP. I read this two days ago on the Wikipedia entry of "P versus NP problem" in the "Consequences" part.
The point is that with AIM (or instant messenger, generally), you knew who was up for chatting. If someone wasn't up for chatting, they either would have an away message or wouldn't be signed on at all. Sure, I can text my friends at any hour. But they might be out at dinner. Or at a concert. Or trying to sleep.

Why? One of my DL rigs runs on Win 10 reliably. Radeons anyway won't be a good candidate for DL, though for mining are best.
yes, you can use the same IP across multiple providers; I this mentioned previously (AA will allow you to announce PI address space)

as for "I don't see how it is technically feasible": read up about BGP and multi-homing: they form the backbone of the internet

(just somewhat unusual on a consumer home connection...)
Close to cryptocurrency, but reward points seem like a good use case. That is, something very seamless to move rewards around whether they were earned for a hotel, airline, credit card, etc. Points.com takes a pretty big cut for that (centralized) service today.

Money transfer as well, maybe. I don't know the space well, but it seems like MoneyGram, Western Union, and similar charge a high premium for their services in some cases.
To an outsider who may not have studied the religion, that is a valid issue to raise. However, ISIS more or less did not bring anything new, they share ideologies with the Khawarij group for instance. Add to that that we have strong narrations that foretold of groups of people who pray and fast in a manner that makes observers think their own prayers are inferior; they recite the Quran very well, but without comprehending its meanings, and take actions leading to bloodshed and other terrible things. In those narrations these people were described as the dogs of hellfire. From what I came across, scholars generally applied that description to the Khawarij group, but it does not mean that other groups with similar ideologies won't appear later on (we already see what's happening today).

Another clear narration can be found here: https://sunnah.com/urn/245570

I guarantee you that none of the leaders of outlaw groups like ISIS would be able to hold a proper debate to defend their points of view in front of a well-learned scholar, they would get instantly demolished. The issue is that you have a lot of uneducated and/or emotional people who fall for their propaganda and end up joining them unfortunately.
"We" as the community who gives them a reason to create these accounts. Whatever system that is.

> If people don't know why it's bad to reuse passwords, they won't even think about getting a password manager. Yes, it is very simple and user-friendly nowadays, but it's seemingly a lot of work to change all your past passwords, and to some people it might be even scarier to hide all your passwords to all your accounts behind a single password.

Maybe we should all make an effort then. Give them instructions on why and how to use a password manager. Before they create an account. It just a high level idea, not very well thought out.

This whole fallacious argument is riddled with strawmen and fallacious arguments. They attempt to equate wireless access with internet access. They talk about "the expectations that we have as consumers" when it comes to the internet as if "consumers" are some sort of monolith. Worst of all, they describe net neutrality solely as a bandwith issue and not one of access. Without net neutrality laws Comcast and other ISPs are under no obligation to make all of the "internet" available to you, at any price. Then will be free to simply block access to websites and other internet services they don't like, for any reason at all, no matter how much you are willing to pay. Net neutrality isn't just about bandwith and packet prioritization - its about access. There is simply no "free market" argument to be made about any ISP or cable company that doesn't own all its infrastructure (including all the land that its wires and cables run through) or one that uses the public spectrum. The only reason that the cable company is able to put a pole in my backyard or run a wire over my property is government regulation. You can't credibly decry net neutrality (ie government regulation of your "private business"), when the very existence of your "private business" depends on government regulation to operate.
Hi, I read on Wikipedia entry of "P versus NP problem" - if its proved that P=NP, then any kind of encryption can be broken. How true is that? Thanks.
Your comment was just fine because minimalism is a value here too. But of course many readers don't know that. Anyhow, we added 2011 above. Thanks!
Airdrops and token giveaways of unregistered security tokens is still a securities fraud.

You need either to register your token with the SEC, or find an exemption from registration or prove that your token is not a security.

If you can prove that your token is not a security, then you can sell it as well (providing you are doing proper KYC/AML and not an MSB or money transmitter.)

IANAL
A good rule of thumb is 100 minus your age is your % of stocks to hold. Those stocks should be diversified index funds, so if you're 40 years old 60% in S&P500 ETF is pretty decent.

The exact index funds to hold is a constant matter of debate (including whether to hold international). Doesn't matter as much as having that equity exposure and keeping the fund fees low.

Lots of resources out there to do it yourself (https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio) or you could use Betterment/Wealthfront/Personal Capital for extra fees.
This is great advice in the right context, but it's not a universal context. If it's a big tech company in SV, for example, or really any company > 100 people in a crowded and desirable industry to be in, cold emailing people isn't going to make a good impression. Or if it does yield a positive response from someone, that's either not going to be a good company to work for, or not a good person to use as a contact at that company. Pushiness for the sake of pushiness isn't a foolproof solution, in both careers and dating.

OTOH, in smaller and more close-knit communities of employers (for a completely random example, "architecture firms based in Des Moines", or "health-focused startups in SF"), where there's a relatively small group of smallish companies with a lot of cross-pollination between employees, this might be an effective strategy.

It probably feels better than dropping a resume in some online drop box, because you are personally taking action rather than sitting around and waiting for callbacks that are probably not going to call back, but just because something feels better doesn't mean it's more effective.

FWIW, I myself and plenty of other people I know have gotten really good jobs at big tech companies simply by making sure that any company of interest has a copy of one's resume in their vast database of resumes. It doesn't take any time at all to do that, so no time wasted, and it's one more way in which a potential employer can find it. Even it's just an additional 5% chance to get hired, that's a 5% chance that didn't exist before and doesn't cost time or money.

Ultimately the only advice I can give anyone is to consider all avenues. Nothing's a gigantic waste of time if you're unemployed or unhappy at your current job. If you know people at the company, great. If there's someplace you can send in a resume or even apply for a specific position, great. If you have a non-stalkery means of making contact with people at the company (maybe going to meet ups or relevant conferences or whatever), also great. None of these approaches are mutually exclusive and most complement one another.
What about some future scenario where smartphones are upgraded with P2P style antennas, is this technically feasible? Or will it be too much of a drain on batteries/heat generation given current technology?

The prospects of that happening and being widely deployed are quite interesting none-the-less.

Especially when combined with some more heavy duty stationary set-ups supporting the network.
Because it is literally 10x slower than Java and the tooling / IDE sucks.

Your language can be 30 years ahead, it doesn't matter if every single implementation sucks.
I guess it's a bleeding edge stuff if you want to avoid GPU being bottlenecked by PCIe transfer during computations, and their SW expertise is likely better on Windows. Even with the crazy SW hiring AMD does right now, it might take some time until Linux catches up.

It is not that simple. I had periods when I did not really wanted to talk and strongly prefered when the other person talked more. I liked listening them during those periods.

Conversely, when I was socially isolated long term, people listening to my flood of monologue were God send.

It all depends on what whose needs are at the moment.

>As many as it takes to have a sustainable culture.

People were advocating for much the same thing in the '70s when Erlich's The Population Bomb came out, and thank God we ignored them. And yet a single hectare of land produces multiples of what it produced then, allowing enough food for everyone (though it doesn't always get to the people who need it, admittedly).

If I had to bet I'd say in 100 years we'll be producing even more food per person, so I consider any plan that would have people starving forced to limit reproduction to be off the table.

Agreed. I had a lawyer-gf at one point in my past, and she executed some variant of this on me every time a vacuous proposal left my mouth. Any proposal at all, really.

But, I did not understand the intent behind what you were writing. Can you restate this for those of us slower members of your audience?
I agree with sneps, game dev is a team job.

Props to the graphics team that worked on this game.
I see your point.

The "you're my ingroup by default" approach works best when reciprocated. It still works tolerably well when not, as long as overt hostility is met with an adequate reaction.

Otherwise it still works with those who agree to collaborate, and ends up in a disappointment with those who don't. (Moral panic that can grow or not from such a disappointment is another issue.)
My implication was that a lot of money is spent on antipsychotics and if this non-pharmaceutical approach can be automated it might be able to capture some of the antipsychotic medication market for very little cost.
I'm not even sure the sources must be authorised to publish the works for you to be able to copy it from them without legal repercussion. Our Hadopi law doesn't punish download, it punishes upload (more precisely, the fact that someone uploaded something from your network). Definitely not a lawyer, though.

Right - but the mechanics of VCs are well documented at this point. I feel like the content is just all a re-hash of the same thing with individuals all jockeying for the latest position.

I'm not sure the 2TB of onboard NVMe would help machine learning tasks. Most machine learning tasks are already well designed for the ~16GB limit on standard GPUs.

The product page suggests that this sort of GPU can handle streaming 8k video. So maybe the card was designed for OpenCL accelerated video editing or some other 3d-task (maybe 3d rendering) with very large texture data.

This is a very insightful comment, thanks.
Basic maintenance is an essential cycling skill. Bikes are lightweight machines by necessity, so they can't be over-engineered for reliability. Bikes will inevitably break down on a fairly regular basis.

Fortunately, they're also boneheadedly simple machines to fix. You can learn to change an inner tube, align a derailleur, adjust a brake caliper and true a wheel in about an hour. If you have those skills, you can do 90% of your own repairs. You'll have an infinitely better cycling experience, because you won't end up stranded at the side of the road because of something that could be fixed in two minutes.
As nyolfen mentioned, XMPP is just a competing, decentralized protocol for AIM-like chat. It has a similar feature set and works with most third-party AIM clients.
Not sure if this is relevant, but TOTP via phone app doesn't work when a phone is experiencing NTP sync issues. At least, this is a problem which I experienced.
Exactly. There will probably be huge class action lawsuits that will be too late for most.
Have to agree with this, I've got a couple already too.

A few 100% losses too of course, and who knows how many more...
E. F. Codd believed in having (at least) two special values in a relational model: one to signify an inapplicable column, and another to represent an unknown value.

For example, if you had a "person" table, the "name" column could be INAPPLICABLE if the person does not have a name, and UNKNOWN if the person's name is not known.
I didn't see sodium carbonate in the list, but you probably do eat it - it's a food additive.

The automatic update process fails because it does not have right to install software on my box. The power of setting permissions and not blindly trusting software just because it is floss.

I would not want it to have this kind of power as the security patches and critical updates are provided by the kind people managing the distro repositories, and if it could update itself it would remove the third party patches required because mozilla has been refusing for 15 years to integrate correctly in my desktop environment but did integrate in the main competitor.

Here's my two cents. I usually write a cover letter when applying for jobs and expect one when interviewing. As once a recruiter told me, think of cover letter as an extended resume and mention those points that you think are worth elaborating.

Instead of writing a long email, turn it into a document (cover letter) and talk about your skills (add github link) and what makes you passionate about the job. I keep it formal but not to an extend where it wastes my time.
Do you make the same comments with movies? It's the same thing.
Imagine the complexity of maintaining the software when every patch must anticipate a fragmented mess of different pieces of patches being installed on target systems. Imagine the explosion of testcases required.

At that point, it’s probably better to just stop feature development and do nothing but security patches, which of course will lead to stagnation and which will also lead to fragmentation as many more incompatible releases of the same software will be out in use.

This will make it even harder for developers to adapt new technologies. Imagine how bad the already messy caniuse.com would look when every single browser version would be supported forever and could be individually configured feature by feature.

Especially as people somewhat versed in technology (I think it’s safe to call HN audience that), I think there is advantage in going with the flow and adapting to new releases and UI paradigms.

Otherwise we'd still be running on DOS and us developers would still have to support it.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1172/
Maybe some other way to not incentivize rich people from far away buying houses to rent which drives the entire market (and rents) up?

It's not an aversion to rentals (I don't mind renting) - it's more an aversion to burning large amounts of money on extremely high rents even when I plan to stay somewhere for a long time.
Is this a thing ? History shows mozilla removing functionality but never replacing it. And then it's up to volunteers to make an extension to fill the gap, until mozilla breaks the extension or drops the extensions engine altogether.

For exemple australis and classic theme restorer.
If you're interested in the period, check out the podcast Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. He's got a three part series on the Persians that's totally engrossing. For one thing, it's where I heard the "we ran" story about Marathon veterans. Carlin is a fantastic storyteller, and his stuff is very well researched.

I am not a bitcoin fan by any means, but this is an incredibly low quality article.

"Good regulation would be good. BTC is really volatile. People use it to speculate, not transact. ICOs are a great way to get burnt."

I suppose it's worth saying, but I don't think it'll convince the faithful.
There's always the chance that you can evolve and improve upon the technology instead of something else coming to replace it.

For bitpay's usecase Bitcoin is being replaced by other coins because it fails to embrace on-chain scaling in favor of off-chain scaling which is far from ready. This is exactly as predicted.

I think GPs point was that aiming for parity in time talked allowed him to filter out people who wouldn't listen to that flood of monologue when it needed to happen.
While I agree that Segwit2x would have been good for BTC, it ultimately only kicks the can down the road a little bit. If BTC (or BCH) is going to be used at Visa/Mastercard scale then the transactions need to happen off-chain. The Lightning Network is the answer here, a lot of work still needs to be done though, particularly on the software side.
The thing I don't understand, and am concerned about the most is that cryptocurrencies rely on public ledgers, and therefore not private. That is all monetary transactions are in essence public record, which is very odd to me, and really doesn't sit well.
For idealism?

So it's idealist to want a sustainable society that doesn't destroy the planet a short couple hundred years after discovering fossil fuels and industrial food production? How is that idealist? Idealism is thinking that the current situation is somehow salvageable without extreme overhauls.

And plus, no one is saying to go back to oxen and carts. That is fairly ridiculous so my response was equally ridiculous.
From my perspective, this is all opposite land.

> I think the answer is partially in your quote: emphasis the similarities.

> Change all conversations to focus on the similarities.

> (GP) I think this is going to be the next big challenge in social tech:

But so far social media is completely reliant on us-vs-them, in- vs out-group differentiation. It would seem that social media already changed dozens of societies across the globe to the worse in the matter of a just few years.

At this point it would probably be a huge success if "social media" were able to heal the massive damage it has caused so far.
>That being said, the solution is a fairly simple one. Stress critical thinking. In all things. In personal life most especially, but also in other actions. Encourage people to recognize their inescapable biases and to resist them because those biases are irrational and provide no actual benefit.

That's the simple solution?

I have two things to say about it:

First, there are many, many traps to fall into when you develop critical thinking. The way out of those traps is to refine your understanding of critical thinking even more and be more aware of biases. Frankly, this is sustainable only for those who are strongly interested in it - which in my experience is probably less than 10% of the population. Hardly "simple".

Also, having spent time amongst top scientists in academia, and seeing how irrational they can become outside of their field of expertise, I have little faith that critical thinking alone is a solution.

Second, there is a fair amount of research that shows that rational thinking devoid of emotions is infeasible. People with brain injuries where emotions essentially go away (perfectly "logical" creatures) can barely function. Every decision had to be justified. Like why you chose to eat an orange instead of an apple.

This may be an argument from extreme, but the consensus appears to be that a full emotion free approach to problem solving is less than ideal.
I think it’s false because every mechanical device have some variation, but is it so small it can don’t “affect” the result?

I've been laughed at by HR at one startup where I mentioned I did it for every job whenever possible.
