It's incredibly absurd how this discussion is going in this site.

People are literally defending the idea that preventing currently unpopular ideas from finding expression, if necessary violently (and certainly through physical obstructions, which is of course violence), is moral and even good.

The obvious problems are, of course, left without any solution.

1) if this idea had been applied as little as 20 years ago, today's society would have been violently repressed.

2) we are not "right" on everything (on the moral front, and outside). We must allow for evolution of our opinions because of changes in our understanding, and because of changes in the real world surrounding us that our morality just doesn't consider at the moment.

3) the potential for abuse of this attitude is incredibly huge.

Generally we should consider that our attitude is right now violently repressing the morality of society as little as 20 years from now. We will fail in that, and will do a lot of damage in the process. It is as simple as that.

We should welcome speakers and friends and colleagues from wildly different viewpoints and environments and engage with them. Clearly, that's the way forward.
Dammit. When did Google announce these?

It looks like preemptable GPUs are exactly half the price of normal GPUs (for both K80s and P100s; $0.73/hr and $0.22/hr respectively), so they're about double the cost efficiency (when factoring in the cost of the base preemptable instance), which would put them squarely ahead of CPUs in all cases. (and since the CPU instances used here were also preemptable, it's apples-to-apples)

I disagree. The only variable he changed between the two options was the religion involved, so we can have that discussion.

Disparaging Christianity would be mostly acceptable and would receive a warning at most. I've personally witnessed this, no problems.

I think disparaging Islam would instantly earn you a reputation that you would never shake during your entire time at the company, you would 100% receive a warning at the very least, and depending on your coworkers, might be outright fired.

If you weren't fired, you'd live the rest of your days at the company as a pariah.

That all seems self-evident to me, and I find that pretty interesting. Why is discussing it off-limits?
Energy physicist Jean Marc Jancovic says that the subprime crisis was due to shifts in energy productions, so somehow maybe bankers weren't directly responsible, or not more than other eras where energy kept growing
The flaw in that argument is the idea that all regulation always significantly hampers free market competition.

That is so clearly not the case with this specific regulation, that your conclusion is total nonsense.

Net Neutrality is a term describing a necessary quality for the internet to have in order to be a free market.

Net Neutrality regulation is necessary because ISPs do not have competition to prevent them from breaking that.

Net Neutrality regulation requires ISPs to keep a few records, costing them a tiny amount, which is totally reasonable, and will not hamper the free market in any way.
Technically it was with permission, because people had shild program enabled in Firefox, it's a different story who enabled it, and why it re-enables after upgrade.
Net Neutrality helped The Daily Stormer alot. There are no known instances of any ISP, regional monopolies or not, throttling or censoring The Daily Stormer on behalf of the ISP's customers.

You might be dishonestly conflating NN into a recent event where The Daily Stormer couldn't find a web host or DNS registrar where inciting violence and terrorism was not prohibited by their terms of service.

Whether or not The Daily Stormer has a right to be hosted is a different debate, one that can only had in a world with Net Neutrality.

If you're trying to write portable software, that's the easiest way to validate compilation for Linux without: a) using an external CI, or b) running a full VM in parallel.
when it's acceptable and somewhat popular to say the same thing about whites, men, straight people, etc.

You're ignoring the power dynamics. Take trans women for example. 46% will commit suicide, over 80% have experienced assault (and only a slightly lower statistic for sexual assault). Thus a cis person saying something of the sort like "trans women should be murdered" is propagating an idea that has very real effect on the world. Since it is already accepted that trans women are harmed as such, making such a statement propagates the harmful ideas further. It is very likely that after that person makes such a comment, a trans woman will die.

In contrast, cis white men are not being murdered by trans women. Thus for them to state that "cis should die" is a act of protest, and has very little effect on the real world. The difference is: Is this likely to happen, is this happening, and has this happened? In the former instance the case is yes, in the latter the case is no.

Violence towards people labelled as fascists is common, but not the other way around.

On the contrary, fascists have murdered in recent years:
1 British politican (Joe Cox). 2 American Representatives. A number of American people[0][1]. I can bring up more examples but I'd like to get off this site sometime today :) Besides, it's trivial to google.

Indeed, White Supremacy is listed as one of the things that the US DHS is working to combat[2]

"death to cops" has absolutely led to an increase in people murdering police officers.

My understanding is that the extension was installed for everyone, without permission, but only actually did anything with permission.
Mozilla was doing so well with Firefox 57, I almost thought there would be a come back.

This is bad. Very bad.

How can they claim they care about privacy, now? Privacy and control was how they sold the product, now they've proven user have absolutely no control, and Mozilla doesn't respect its users.

This could be the final nail in the coffin.
Hah.

But seriously, how am I supposed to hire and retain anyone if the workplace is hostile? Turnover and rehiring has costs, even if it's turnover of minimum wage staff.

And as a hiring manager I don't have any particular interest either in working in an environment that is hostile towards me. Or are you saying that I have an obligation to spend the majority of my waking hours with people who suggest that I have no right to be alive; or that I belong pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen?

And if I'm not willing to accept a workplace that's hostile to me, how can I ask the people I hire to accept one that's hostile to them?

If Congress tried to restructure what would otherwise be a taking in the form of a retroactive tax on past earnings, I suspect the Federal courts would see right through it.
This looks really cool.
It's hard to do this just based on raw tax numbers. For instance, Alaska, Wyoming and South Dakota all have large scale extraction operations as a fraction of population. These supply a large fraction of income and are obviously tied to a particular geographical.

My guess is that states with more social services aren't necessarily going to have fewer people below the poverty line, but that being poor is not as bad there (via access to health care, food/rent subsidies, etc). That's obviously harder to pin a number on though.
The creators seem to be Esperantists -- "Monero" means "coin" in Esperanto, and their implementation of the I2P network is called "kovri" which is the Esperanto verb "to cover".

Then love it and wait for improvements. ;-) I think they will implement something on top of MySQL. And every-time you can ask startup for different pricing model am pretty sure they will be very flexible with it.
Exactly. We should have said to the banks "oh you need our help, let's see - what do you guys do when that happens? That's right, we are going to take you for everything you have".

We should own all the banks, all the land. We are renting our own countries back off these guys after bailing them out.
> Frankly I think for most people this is just a political chip.

The only bandwagon I see is the one in opposition to net neutrality regulation. It's a bandwagon against any and all regulation, as if the word "regulation" suddenly makes something malicious.

The rest of us actually considered the details and implications, or trusted someone else who did.

Avionics are always way behind consumer electronics due to safety and reliability certification requirements, as well as tiny production volumes. How well would your cell phone hold up to thousands of hours of intense vibrations, freezing temperatures, hard shocks, and hydraulic fluid leaks?
They had the fucking permission, that's actually part of the problem. They ship Firefox with the "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" permission already enabled (bad bad bad).

And they did this shit for some promotion for a TV show. What a clusterfuck Mozilla, hope you learned your lesson.
The amount of chuzpah, ignorance and insensitivity in that CMO's response is staggering and completely out of touch with their core audience.

The trick right now is in knowing exactly what gene to express. It's like the Ionis Huntington's trial, just one well-known gene to suppress (albeit in cerebrospinal fluid, so the stage 1 trials were interesting). And of course, the first-wave funding will go to stuff that absolutely, positively will kill a person stone dead.

As soon as there's multiple targets it gets more complicated. Familial Hypercholesteroleamia could be any of three genes in it's least complex setup. I wouldn't be surprised to see a scam "therapy" marketed for it by the end of the year...
It shouldn't be possible to install add-ons without the user's explicit permission IMHO.

GP didn't ask about the most requested law. He asked for some examples of laws that, if they had been on the books in the financial crisis era but were prevented from being there by lobbying, would have ended up with people in prison due to their actions.

He didn't say anything about "being presented to the legislature." As you make clear, the actual legislative votes aren't really all that important compared to everything that comes before that point.

No, the key factor in favor of driverless cars is the tons of money saved for the transportation industry.
Most binary distributions don’t have different sets of packages for different feature sets of 64-bit Intel processors. Most containers use the same exact binaries the given distribution would on bare metal.

The processor won’t (and AFAIK can’t) report different feature sets for processes running in a Docker container, and most heavy optimized numerical libraries will choose to use things like AVX at runtime, not compile time.
I agree. That is not to say that everyone getting upset nowadays is necessarily in the right. But I think what many people remember as calmer, more reasonable discussions of yesteryear are largely a reflection of greater hegemony.

Clicked on this as I saw "game" and "Monero" together and played around for a short bit. Some quick reflections:

- I didn't really realize it was real time with other players. Was a bit confused in the beginning with what was happening. Perhaps my own character code be colour coded differently to make it somewhat clearer?

- Tried clicking on some of the chat buttons (I have 0 coins), but then I just get a popup saying "Something went wrong". Reproducible.

Fun with some things happening in this area though! Do you have any plans for how to take this further?
It does, but by default, it uses your google account password.
The GPU version is much faster, but I doubt it's that much. I suspect the actual rendering time is not being measured because it happens asynchronously.

Still though, the potential for using GPUs to accelerate computations is high and I think too often overlooked by web developers, even those doing image processing.
I assure you I have read about it.

The only cost associated with net neutrality regulation is a minimal bookkeeping one.

The only cost associated with net neutrality itself is the potential cost for consumers without it.

What we need is a new grid, one that's designed to move power in any direction. The current grid was built to move power in one direction, from the plant to the home. If we set up a grid that allowed home-to-home transfer of electricity, we'd be able to support an energy market where the price of electricity is set by market forces instead of centralized utilities. Any producer of electricity can put his or her power on the market and compete with everyone else, and consumers can shop around the market for the best prices. It would be the internet analogue of power delivery.

This is not some kind of libertarian dream world. This infrastructure will have to be created and maintained by the government, just like roads. There will probably have to be laws to regulate sale and prevent things like monopolies and non-discrimination. But otherwise whatever happens on this infrastructure will be more or less "free" for the market to decide.

If our answer to climate change is for each home to be essentially an island responsible for maintaining all of the solar/wind infrastructure to meet their own power needs, then we're doomed. We need to be able to move and price power efficiently, and the current model of delivery is broken.

> When I need a cable or something similar,

I resorted to buy only Amazon Basic cables for the PC/monitor/TV and Anker cables/charger for the mobile phones. It is not the cheapest option but you still get high quality for a low price and you don't have to deal with any shady shops.
> it’s not clear to me whether a container can take advantage of the same CPU and GPU instruction optimizations that a binary or compiled-from-source version can.

Since the container is running on the bare metal, with the same kernel and everything, just isolated, it absolutely can take advantage of these things. It'll require about the same amount of work to do the compilation for using any special instructions for performance as it would if it's on bare metal.

> For example, I’m curious if containers package redundant versions of software for convenience that are underoptimized when compared to versions packaged with the operating system. Is that realistic concern?

Maybe. It'll mean that there's extra data on disk and maybe in ram from loading other shared libraries which will mean some overhead, but unless there's some specific set of instructions or optimizations that would make a difference for the workload it should be basically the same.

So if you don't make a profit from a crime, you shouldn't be punished for that crime?

That's like saying if I attempt to steal something from a store, security stops me, retrieves the item, then I shouldn't be punished because I didn't get anything from my crime, in fact it cost me money, in gas, going to the store to steal from it...

The "they were defrauding us too" is a weaselly argument - it can be argued that when you are an executive, you represent the company, and directing people to do something, can they really be said to be deceiving/defrauding you by _doing as you directed_?
I think you’re making a good argument, but I have a problem with your broadened use of the word “advocate.”

If Bob only made the decision to punch Alice because Mallory asked him to, yes Mallory shares in the responsibility. But that implies a notion between Mallory and Bob that is rather different from mere advocation. I do not consider a scenario in which one party convinces another, both with agency, to be advocation. In some cases, I would even consider the person who provided the imperative for violence to be more responsible than the person executing the imperative.

But we are getting into Wittgensteinian weeds here with respect to definitions. For my part, I consider advocation to be the scenario in which one person or group receives peacefully submitted recommendations for a course of action. I think an advocate can be responsible, but I do not think it is productive to use one word to describe the impact of both advocation and execution of a thing.

Using your real world example, I can agree that Donald Trump has committed real harm to various people. I cannot agree that Donald Trump’s position is one of advocation; in fact, I would say that Trump is one who is advocated to. A position of advocation, in my opinion, implies a position that is lesser in power to one which has the power to effect the change on their own.

Thanks, you've inspired me to take another look. When I looked into this the first time, the $/kwh versus hardware cost never added up. I have no hardware lying around I could use, so chances are I'd have to buy something.

There's also the opportunity cost. If getting the hardware, learning everything and regular maintenance only nets me say a $5/month profit, it doesn't seem worth pursuing.

It's been a few months since I researched this, I'm happy to be wrong so I'll take another look.
