That's the best part of it. Networking and sales done properly means giving away some value for free so potential clients consider it beneficial to work with you for additional value.
You're right that I neglected to comment on the fact that you say you do everything but submit articles, and I should have pointed that out. Thank you for doing that! I instead focussed on additional ways to make HN better. It's both how one contributes and how one doesn't. I hope you take this in the spirit it's intended. Your initial comment indicates you want HN to be better. These are strategies to do so.
Short version: TPIR used to recycle prices/products, so with studying it is easy to guess prices of products on the show. Many contestants and avid fans know this, and one of them got extra lucky in the showcase showdown by guessing the exact price, at about 1/1000 odds (after accounting for common sense and attentiveness) , which is likely to happen eventually for a daily show like TPIR. (Or possibly he was cheating or plain lucky after all. The article claims that showcases are generally $24k, and the winner's was $23743, but the opponent had a $30k showcase and bid it within $550 accuracy)

Now they randomly vary the products/prices slightly, as they should have done all along.
It's a Plan 9 fork, the Plan 9 papers and man pages would describe the system architecture pretty well.

Most of the changes I know of that they've done (UFS support, ELF executables, standard C without the Plan 9 extensions, a different build system, etc..) are more in the details than the architecture.
There are many solutions for systems like this. Unfortunately none are open source.

Most documents I do want to keep record of are sensitive. I don't trust a closed-source app with that kind of information.

I used be like that when I was at school. I was addicted to Modern Warfare and later Modern Warfare 2 to the extent where I almost got kicked out of school because I was getting such poor grades.

I’m now a functioning adult and find it hard to get into video games, not because I fear I’ll get addicted but I just don’t get the same dopamine hit from games like I used to. I drive on race tracks to get that hit now.

Running AVX-512 on all cores will lower all core operating frequency, in order to maintain the TDP of the processor.

When you run it in isolation, there's more headroom since only one core can run at the higher freq. and use AVX512 registers.

Also the power license ensures the cores running AVX512 code runs at a lower frequency.

Make sure to guard your AVX512 code block with VZEROUPPER when exiting it

There is so much evil in this world, what the Rohingya face today my own people endured in 2009. At the hands of thr Sri Lankan government, who also happens to be buddhistic, ten thousands of innocent Tamils were massacred. Women and children raped. Babies murdered.

The UN wrote a huge report findng the Sri Lankan government guilty only for China and Russia to veto against any juridicial proceeding.

One of the reason i am so dissapointed in Trump, he doesnt seem to understand when good retreats, evil will triump. Not everything in this world is about fair transaction of money for goods and service. When the oppressed in 3rd world countries look for justice, they look for strong powers of democracy, they look upto US.

Throughout history US would come to aid, today its about bowing down to communist human rights abusers like China for fair trade and access to its market.

Which linear algebra libraries use 128 bit sums?
I think Big Bang Theory is terrible but I don't think the people who like it are dumb. Just a different taste in humor. I've heard a similar observation but contrasting Big Bang Theory with Arrested Development (or Community or Rick and Morty, whichever someone wants to say is smart, I guess) that I think is more accurate: "The Big Bang Theory is a dumb show about smart people. Arrested Development is a smart show about dumb people."

I think "dumb show" reflects more about the style of humor than the type of people who like it. Some people prefer clever, subtle humor. Some people want goofy and slapstick humor. Some people love awkward situational humor. There is no account for taste.

But yeah, it's an awful show.

Sure, and a 40% transaction fee reduction sounds great in theory, but with a median fee of ~$28.58 (https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/) it will still inarguably leave BTC at a significant disadvantage compared to virtually every other available payment option. Mind you, this calculation is done at current prices and network congestion; the numbers can only be expected to increase assuming further adoption. Not viable.
It might be different now, but I'm pretty sure back in the Bob Barker era contestant selection wasn't random. The entire audience had to introduce themselves to the producer one by one and answer his questions about where they were from, what they did, and if they were there with anyone. The people selected were fairly attractive and charismatic. The selection also leaned toward people who came with larger groups. I assume so they could get camera shots of cheering and helping during the games.
If you want to be more stark about things, BBT is at least partially a people-on-the-Autism-spectrum minstrel show; that's certainly what most of the laughs concerning Sheldon's character are really about.

Absolutely! Wiring your house for video is awesome, for a huge array of potential reasons.

I bought a cloud-connected Nest camera to use as a baby monitor. Quickly realized how awesome it would be to have cameras in (almost) all rooms in my house, so I threw the Nest in the trash (terrible product) and got a few Amcrest cameras and hooked them up to a good, well-maintained Mac IP camera app called SecuritySpy[1].

It's great, and completely private, as it (obviously!) should be.

It's also way faster (obviously!) and lower latency when using it on the local network, than viewing video feeds routed through some advertising company's servers in the cloud, even on gigabit fiber.

I love it! Oh and the cameras were only $75 each.

An interesting litmus test in situations like this is: are the Burmese Muslim population allowed to speak out about events around the Rohingya?

If, say, some Burmese Muslims held a large protest march in Yangon, would they run the risk of being targeted as a group? If so, I'd say that their silence is as a result of fear rather than support.

I'm going to disagree. It is really interesting but I think the amount of equipment, space and potentially dangerous chemicals (requiring extensive supervision for high schoolers) and the associated PPE and proper infrastructure to work safely aren't the best use of money/space for a high school. Old equipment also requires a lot of maintenance to keep running. You can learn about these things from a book, watching a plasma etcher or CVD furnace run isn't exactly very exciting after all. Might be worth doing a few of the simple processes but you need so much equipment to do the whole process. The lithography approach mentioned is interesting and could be cool in an undergrad/high school setting.

While the media portraits Rohingya Crisis as religious conflict, it is actually ethnic crisis. UN describes it as ethnic cleansing. Although most of the Rohingya are muslim, Bamar (major ethnic Burmese) hate them calling them "Bengalis" (people from neighboring Bangladesh), despite Rohingyas living there for hundreds of years. The racism and prejudice flared the crisis soon after the military came to power decades ago.
Please God no! I'm all for a scripting language but the poor quality and inconsistencies of Python makes my life so much harder in the 5 other applications where it is the ONLY way to script everything. The fact that it is whitespace sensitive I have found makes it harder for beginners who try to edit pre-existing files that mix tabs and spaces. That's one dumb thing but there are many other thongs that bother me about Python. Yes to a scripting language, please no to Python.

> I don't think the people who like it are dumb

I don't think that's quite what the parent was saying. It's not that BBT is a show for a dumb audience. Rather, BBT is a show about supposedly smart characters, with a writing staff that doesn't have anyone sufficiently-smart-enough on it to be able to accurately depict the thinking process of genuinely smart characters.

You can't, as someone with an average IQ, really write the internal monologue of someone with a much higher IQ. You can probably capture their personality, but you can't solve problems the way they solve problems (or write characters who do so) without, at least temporarily, actually being that smart.

This is an often-discussed aspect of writing military fiction: it's basically impossible to come up with the sort of strategic masterstrokes that a famous general would come up with, without yourself being a famous general. You can bring together ten lesser strategists and ask them to knock their heads together, and you still won't get a brilliancy† out.

† https://www.chess.com/article/view/how-to-play-a-brilliancy

Most people who write master strategists in fiction end up just doing one of a few main things:

• they crib all the "clever moves" from well-known historical battles. This limits you to just, essentially, writing history over again wearing a new coat.

• they get an actual master-ish strategist to consult. You see this in, for example, sports anime about chess or Go—the author usually relied on input from a high-level professional (but not master) player.

• they just make the characters' abilities entirely informed, rather than explicit. This is your Sherlock Holmes story: you can see what they came up with in the end, but you don't get any insight into how they went about putting it together. The author just decided what the solution was, worked backward to what sorts of clues would lead one to that solution, and then decided by fiat that the protagonist would notice those clues.

The whole "rational fiction" movement is basically about avoiding doing any of the above.

I used my work email as my backup for my gmail account, and thus could not retrieve my password after I left that job (on good terms even, but they would not let me use my old email). Having access to my android phone tied to the gmail account helped not at all.

I tried the gmail password retrieval system repeatedly, but could not get it to recognize me even though I had an archive of much of my email, so I thought I could be confident in answering questions about who I emailed and such.

So, I switched to a new email account. Luckily, I had a tablet that (to this day) is still logged into my lost gmail account, so I can tell that nobody I care about is still sending to the old address.

All in all, the consequences weren't that bad, although among them were the loss of my ability to have my straightforward firstname.lastname@gmail.com address...unfortunately using just my first initial and last name is not unique.

The concept of being able to reach a human being at Google is tantalizing but the fact is, I have such resentment and bile built up for the way things were designed that I'm not sure I want to reach out. And it doesn't matter a great deal anyway. I suspect in the long run it's lucky I learned not to trust them too much.

How about your photos? Those are as PII as it gets. If you're not careful (and majority of people aren't), and upload the same photo you use for your linkedin or twitter account, a 5 second Google Image search can easily reveal your true identity.

In fact, I have, in the past, emailed OKC and others and asked them to put measures in place so when a user uploads a photo, it's checked against various sources online and if it's a match, the user would be warned that it's potentially revealing their identity. I'm not sure if they took note of that.

Sad to see this (clickbait) story come from SI. No substantive refutation of the evidence, just speculation and the truism that atomic components of any alloy can be identified, which of course they can. But alloys -and nanomaterials- can and do have extremely interesting properties independent of their chemical composition and these are often non-obvious. SI completely glosses over that point.

Given your comment, I wonder if there's an interesting list of people who have been on the Price is Right. For example, one person I can think of is Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad) who said: "It looks like I'm on some serious crack.

> "Bitcoin rising so fast that the network has basically shut down"

That is one way to view at bitcoin now, a very pessimistic one.

But an alternative positive view is that Bitcoin's network has proved its success at being able to process transaction up to the rate it was designed to handle (1 MB worth of transaction data per ~10min) without failing even in the face of sustained overcapacity barrage of transactions. No bugs since late 2010. No crashes. No successful 51% or other attacks. No double-spent coins. No invalidated transactions.

>I agree the reporters probably flubbed the word "alloy" for lack of a better understanding of science or a better term to describe it.

There's no mention of what properties these materials are supposed to have, much less that the materials seem so exotic as to be beyond comprehension or a more accurate description. The original New York Times article merely mentions the "storage of metal alloys and other materials..."

"Alloys" may literally just mean "alloys."

Your analogy of the polluting factory works if discussing the substances you listed which are not passively controlled under use, or in the case of second hand smoke. I think we can (and must) discuss those seperately for the sake of clarity of conversation.

On the topic at hand, using heroine to intoxicate one’s self is very victimless. Injection needles are sharp and carry disease. Alright, but scissors are sharp, sex carries disease and heroine was initially introduced and prescribed as a pharmaceutical. Social and economic externalities of drug use is highly subjective and difficult to isolate, which is among most rational arguments for legalization. Drugs always both solve problems and create new ones. Each situation is more than likely drastically different and impossible to readily comprehend, involved with and conflated with mental health, legal systems, moral judgements, embarrassment, fear.

Results of approaches actively considerate of this complexity (Portugal’s controversial policies come to mind) tend to suggest that the economic and social problems you mention may moreso be a result of simplistic accusations like the factory analogy.
