Yea, this outcome seems to happen surprisingly infrequently for the amount of SWATings that occur, precisely because big city SWAT units are selected for experience and discipline.

>monopolizing a system resource (e.g. IOPS or network bandwidth)

People have been placing ulimits on users to limit their resource usage for decades, using cgroups to do it is not a novel concept, just more effective.

>rogue problems like termination of a hostile/stupid set of processes (cgroups and namespaces are one of the few reliable ways to kill process groups in non-racey ways, etc).

The ability for a user to leave processes around on the system has been fixed for years now, with systemd-logind which puts each user in its own cgroup.

>adding code to the kernel (module autoloading)

This is a concern both for container systems and regular user isolation, and the only reliable way to fix it for either is to disable module autoloading, or at least restrict the available modules to well-maintained ones.

>The original use cases for namespacing, cgroups, etc was precisely to give more fine-grained resource and isolation control over existing applications, in a hierarchical manner.

Yes, and they failed. The design of Linux namespaces and cgroups is awful. You can perceive this by the fact that they require privileges to use. Hopefully in a few years all this Flatpak/Docker churn will output some namespacing APIs for Linux that are actually good.
Coinigy is not mentioned. An excellent competitor
Funny, because in my field (crypto) I encounter calculus directly fairly regularly -- despite the fact that crypto looks like it is all about discrete math. I also see calculus being used in other fields that I have had to interact with; AI immediately comes to mind (stochastic gradient descent), and various fields related to signal processing (including computer vision).

Really though, the immediate applicability is beside the point. We are not talking about learning to program, we are talking about learning computer science. There is value in having a breadth of understanding in basic math topics (yes, calculus is a basic topic; if you want something advanced you need to look at real analysis).

1. Overcome Internet addiction. I've used the computer to shield me from negative thoughts, thus hindering my professional and emotional development. I've been following a new schedule in the last weeks. It keeps track of working time (16 chunks of pomodoro), real life duties, sleep and hours spent online. It's important not to let myself go autopilot.

2. Get the goddamn degree.

3. Always go to bed early and sleep for 8 hours.

I agree and I'm not sure why you're being down voted for this remark. Apple should have been upfront about the issue from the start, with a solution that didn't involve third parties to fix from the beginning.

Apple has always relied on third parties to make their platforms viable and useful to consumers. The relationship is symbiotic, not destructive. Apple should be encouraging stronger cooperation between it and these third parties.

I’m going to harp on the Italian case (not because I am Italian and think it is the centre of the world, but because it illustrates just how broad one’s rules need to be to be dependable).

I am an Italian citizen. Say I own shares on the LTSE. Say I also owe the Italian government some back taxes, and that the government moves to expropriate my assets to cover my liability. My LTSE shares are now the property of the Italian government and have been shorn of whatever by-laws they might have had attached. The government then proceeds to auction off the components of my esistiate to the highest bidder, who purchases the shares without any obligation regarding his duties and structure.

This is why in general (in the mathematical sense, meaning ”in all cases”) the scheme you posit is not iron-clad. Probably it will work in most circumstances but that’s a lesser level of certainty that offers no guarantees whatsoever.

It actually is mentioned in the post towards the bottom, though it's not in the main table.

Geekbench CPU scores from the release iPhone 7 running iOS 10 show scores of around 3400/5500. My 14 month old iPhone 7 running 11.2 reports around 3500/5900.

I don't. This is about the smallest possible response you can imagine. If anything it's Apple doubling down on their original decision — they think they made the right call, and they're standing by it, but throwing a bone to customers by offering essentially at-cost battery replacement.

And honestly? I think they made the right call, even if the implementation details were off. Phones shutting off randomly is something that appears common on Android phones but not on iPhones, and throttling them to prevent this was the right decision to make. Warning that this is occurring is something that, in retrospect, was warranted. But it's easy to see how the teams in question for implementing this could have underestimated the performance impact, the scale of how many phones this would affect, or both. And it's easy to see how adding a warning might have been considered a v2 of the feature, whereas v1 was the quick band-aid needed to ship to prevent a problem that might have affected large numbers of phones in the wild.

In my opinion, Apple has so much goodwill built up from making difficult-but-principled decisions, I'm more than happy to give them the benefit of the doubt. If anything, their response reinforces my belief that they thought this was the right decision from the get-go. They didn't roll back the feature as other companies would have done. They stuck by it because it's the right move for the vast majority of their customers.

There's something depressing about your comment that screams dystopic to me. You're effectively reducing someone's hard work down to notches on a belt. I realize why you do it, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

I think you're making a mistake of treating users of X as a homogenous group. Some users were not happy with how the performance and the battery degraded. Some were happy with the power usage over time. Some were happy to point out how they're better than the users of Y.

All of that is still the case. What changed is that "I think my iPhone is getting slower, but I'm going to replace it with a new one anyway" is not interesting news, but "it's been proven why it's getting slower, now I feel ripped off because I didn't actually need to upgrade the whole phone, just the battery" is interesting.
Well, I guess something similar like a "land reform" would be of help

No, they need proper training.

Things like this don't occur all the time in other countries.
They held them a decade ago too. None of this is new. You just didn't know or didn't believe.
My phone gives me a warning notification if performance might be getting degraded because the storage is getting full, and provides suggested actions to delete stuff stored locally.

Something about replacing the battery would have been perfectly reasonable for Apple to have suggested similarly, since we know the hardware can detect poor battery performance. Of course, we know why they didn't do this; it would cut into sales of new models.
I may be too much of finance nerd to experience any emotions about but where were you for the last decade?
When can you find battery capacity?
IMO, the solution to this is to develop FOSS platforms that run similar to a mesh network, yet to the common user look like an app or a website.

Then why do the militaries still use ball-ammunition?

Here's what I was told when I was in the service. The goal is to incapacitate the target, not to kill. From a military standpoint, incapacitation of targets causes additional burden to their sqaud-mates. It also demoralizes the enemy.

Weapons are used for many things, not just deadly force. They act as intimidation (warning shot), deterrence (visual presence) as well.
The issue is that the officer is not facing a trial. No chance for due process because the people are not bringing a case, so it doesn't matter what the evidence is.

Reveal Sound Spire v1.1.13 Full Version and Crack for Mac[Torrent]
Modern CPUs will pretty much always try to boost as long as they have the thermal and power headroom to do so (see race to sleep). Talking about mean, median, and 'mode' of performance is going to be tricky because it'll be heavily dependent on how the tests are being run. Things like, is there enough time to rebuild thermal headroom between iterations, or does a single iteration ever actually run enough to exhaust its thermal headroom will effect the results of multiple runs.

So returning to the base point, any reduction in boost frequency in -normal- usage (seperate from benchmarking) will cause (machine) measureable (but maybe not perceived) performance loss because everything is built around trying to crank out work as quickly as possible for as short of a time as possible.
>Here in the UK our cop shows are like Midsomer Murders. Most episodes don’t even feature a gun...

Midsomer Murders is a murder mystery show, not really a cop show. There are plenty of action oriented Brotish Cop shows.

The effects of globalism... Upper management stays employed and gets richer, everyone below (the middle class previously) are out of a job. Child labor and inhumane working conditions overseas and mass pollution of our entire planet. How is it that progressives actually think this is a good thing? (this is an honest question).
The reason doctors don't like prescribing it is because it's not FDA-approved for ADHD. It's not FDA-approved for ADHD because of bureaucratic/economic reasons, AFAIK.
Mmm, no. I don't think it should be a "quest". That's what Facebook is doing and I've never heard an FB user say they like any change that gets made.

I don't have any specific feedback about your platform (heck, I'm building my own social network at the moment), but I will say that your site is VERY text-heavy. I've seen your other comments about the common person not wanting to create a Mastodon instance and while I agree with you, the common person also doesn't want to wade through an essay just to find out what you're promoting.

Simple and Stripe are great examples of sites that have a LOT of text but it's designed in a way to make it not look tedious to peruse.
(IANAL) To make that really work, you need to collate data from different databases located in different sovereignties.

If somebody is on an American sanctions list, then Facebook USA making an account for that person on a database located on American soil violates the sanctions. That American citizens can't see the relevant account's data is irrelevant; if anything, it could actually amount to obstruction of justice if American investigators have a warrant to see the relevant data on an American server and it does not appear in the investigator's UI despite the warrant.

The way to solve that is to have different legal entities own different sets of data that exist under different sovereignties and then draw upon the data from each sovereignty through established (although potentially entirely private to Facebook and its foreign subsidiaries operating the foreign servers) protocols.
I took mine iPhone 6 in last night, was told about the $29 program, and asked if I wanted to wait. I said to go ahead and when I picked it up today I was only charged the $29.
So, just replace my battery every few months? That's OK? NO.

I'm losing respect for Apples mobile hardware line. So what if their SoC is amazing, if it is downclocked every month. Review benchmarks are dishonest if not taking this into account.
I dunno. I've been using my iPhone 6s for 1.5 years. Maybe it's slowed down, but it's not anything that I've noticed.
> I'm sure some of you will hop and go say "Right, you prefer to do it in the fields, with soldiers bullying and taking lands they don't own." For fuck sake, give me a break.

Thanks for the response. That is good information to know.
duplicating is very optimistic. Over a distributed network, to achieve trust, it will have to be (n) where n is the average (over all time) number of agents that care about the validity of the chain. Then don't forget to multiply by k^2 where k is the expected blockchain chain length over all time. As an approximation...
Apple's own laptops give warnings when the battery has been reached a certain level of usage.

Why they wouldn't also do this on their phones is mighty suspicious.
It's not, or shouldn't be, "willing to die". It's "willing to accept a heightened risk of death or injury" that every cop should be ok saying "yes, that's my job."

Because time and again when you look at SWAT tactics or other situations where a cop kills someone, they were being pre-emptive. They were taking no risk at all of being hurt or killed. They pulled the trigger at the first ambiguous sign of threat, resistance, or something going wrong. They've created and valorized a mindset of taking no risk, of making sure they go home at night, of winning every encounter that always has death lurking somewhere.

They've made cops chickenshit, is what they've done. Some of that is internal cop culture, "warrior cop" mentality, etc. Some of that is us having built up a lot of drama around policing and police deaths making us all think that it's a terribly dangerous job. And some of it is just a refusal to hold police accountable for mistakes, which makes erring on the side of a dead civilian preferable.
Is there some data on iPads as well?
Could you elaborate on this? What precisely is the difference?
People think technology is magic. When they find out it's not magic, and hard decisions were made around tradeoffs that they had no input in, they doubt the reasoning behind those decisions.

IMHO throttling the phones was the correct decision for the vast majority of their users. Warning about degraded battery performance would be preferable, but when do you do this? If this is an adaptive behavior, it may be throttling to 99% early on in the phone's life — so when do you alert? At 95% two months in? At 80% performance a year in? Apple can make another decision here, but people will still find ways to argue about the specifics.
I think another important consideration might be that peak plasma concentrations on Vyvanse would be lower than on Adderall (because it's more spread out over time). Some effects only happen at certain plasma concentrations.
On one hand your post looks like a classic example of people down-voting a comment they disagree with, rather than making a counter-argument.

I hate when this happens.

On the other hand, you could learn from the example and create your own Hacker News...
Perhaps this is the problem. When you go into every encounter prepared for the worst, you'll probably find the worst more often than otherwise. Perhaps if they went into every encounter thinking that it could one a hundred different ways, they'd valorize keeping their wits about them, rather than pulling the trigger the first time "the worst" seems like it's about to happen.
I have an android phone - the nexus 5 and it's a total shitbag right now. It seems like it's slowed down massively. I can't imagine this is only apple.
Since the discussion seems to have already degenerated into waxing poetic about this RNG or that I'd like to throw in: Do not use pseudo-random number generators. Use cryptographically secure random number generators.

From a performance perspective there are vanishingly few applications where the difference between MT or PCG and AES-CTR is going to make an ounce of difference. Once the question of performance is settled, there simply don't remain any arguments in favor of using PRNGs.
Getting certified for the sake of getting certified isn't really worth much - in fact, most of the technical courses I've been on could have been replaced with a couple of days to read a thick book on the same subject. Even where the training was expensive (i.e. Red Hat), the course itself was mostly crap and the book was fine to pass any exams.

If you want to back up what you say you can do, release some OSS or chip in to someone else's. If I were hiring I'd rather see someone that contributes to 10 Angular repos than someone that went to 'Angular Bootcamp' from some unknown startup in London.

question: what is the neoliberal obsession over negative interest rates? The point of negative interest rates is to encourage borrowing and "reinvestment over saving under the mattress". Typically the lowest interest rates are given to institutional investors (aka the very wealthy) while "the rest of us" have to take on interest rates that don't beat inflation. "Reinvestment" usually means "supporting fortune 500 companies that are in index funds.

If you think about it carefully, it basically sounds an awful like trickle-down economics.

Of course, there's the babysitter's coop parable, but that seems like not a monetary failure, but the failure of a really silly centralized decision to make a unit of labor time be fixed instead of having the unit of labor float in value.
If, as Economists suggest, the total wealth is increased, then it could be distributed so that everyone is better off (nationally and globally). Generally progressive governments support policies that would distribute the gains in that kind of way. Non-progressive governments blame outgroups, steal from the powerless and give to the already wealthy, creating the problems you blame the progressives and globalism for.
What makes you think that they do?
There is a pretty limited set of fields of endeavor where you could make this argument without it being ridiculous on its face.
Has anything pertaining to how long this have been going on for been revealed? Apple hiding this is definitely not reasonable.
Great,

On android any app can listen for clipboard events without permission. It's very possible that the Android Facebook app is scraping this data.

It also happens that the Facebook app is pre installed on Samsung devices and cant be removed.
It doesn't have to be the effect of globalism. Redistribution of wealth and land is quite effective.
Not for a company getting multiple iPhones of various age every day in for repair. If they can do a check on some percentage of their customers, they're likely to get tens/hundreds of data points a day and be able to graph an average age-vs-slowdown relation.

If they started after the original forum post, they should have a pretty good idea already.
I'm pretty sure Chrome (for iOS) does this too, and presumably it could be sent to Google's servers. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to suggest opening a URL that has been copied (and show the URL before any user confirmation) by simply tapping on the address bar. Whether or not they use it for ad targeting is anyone's guess.
Yeah, I just hate it more than any other chore.
and did the performance improve ?
Does it even bother anyone at Apple that their company has a problem with ethics?

It would seem as an engineer, if your boss told you to write code that intentionally slowed a user's device down (for ANY reason), wouldn't the proper response be "Will do, but how do we inform the user so they can avoid it?"

What frustrates me most is Apple won't learn a lesson from this, they just merely "got caught" this time.
Weak logic there. The injuries listed were from assaults; if accidental injuries were added, the number for police would undoubtedly be even higher.
