Radiohead was a really popular band.

Radiohead hasn't had a Top 40 single in more than 10 years. 15 years?

Their album sales from the last 10 years aren't comparable to the current selling giants.

Their streaming numbers aren't comparable.

Radiohead has an audience, and indeed it's a large audience, but I would not call them popular.

The internet was actually fine for a long time (just proxy over SSH for everything). But they randomly "turn up the dials" on the firewall to block SSH and so you'll get intermittent outages. It's gotten progressively worse. We had a bunch of servers outside of China and I would need to basically round robin them to keep online.

I was actually somehow impressed by how sophisticated the firewall became over time from a pure technology point of view. Super annoying though.

This is way outside of my domain of competence, but if I understand correctly, this would not constitute a BOLD signal?

I'm skeptical of the idea that blood diffusion alone correlates with cerebral activity. With fMRI, you're looking at temporary gradients of de-oxygenated hemoglobin rather than a net direction of blood movement. This is sometimes confused with "blood flow", and I've been guilty of interchanging the two terms myself :/ I suspect the fluid dynamics of blood in the head is outrageously noisy and difficult to contrast out or filter though statistical means (because it's roughly random).

Concerning the relationship between neural activity and BOLD signal this paper [https://www.nature.com/articles/35084005] is a good starting point. I'll see if I can dig up the PDF for you.
The paper's data set is from 1870 to 2015, which is 145 years. If that's not close enough to "the long run" for the theory to match reality, then the theory is either wrong or useless.
That's a pretty high bar. So then every single thing that pretty much every single monopolist has done is totally fine since, you know, it wasn't genocide?

Uber did lots of, if not ethically grey, completely unethical (and unlawful) things. Least of which includes tracking regulators and government inspectors, and also surveillance on their users and celebrities based on the rides they'd take. That's not even counting all the bro culture and sexual harassment that seems to have been rampant.

It does come from the top. A lot of those people that were fired, were hired by Kalanick.

Nobody's shedding a tear for a jerk like Kalanick, especially not after his multi-billion dollar payout. He'll be just fine. In fact, by any stretch of it, he's being HANDSOMELY rewarded for his behavior.

He has simply no reason to change.

The majority of those in an environment can have preferences that lead to a bad environment.

That's like saying that Jim Crow laws weren't "good or bad" because a majority of people supported them at some given time.

The plain truth is that many work environments including tech are worse for women than men. The cause of that reality is the behaviour of some men in that environment, as a result of the larger culture having a significant degree of misogyny that has only gradually being eroded through massive effort over decades.

Cultures evolve and it's bullshit for men who are not faced with the disadvantages in the workplace to avoid responsibility since it doesn't affect them directly. Everyone should have the humility to acknowledge that even though they may feel that they have good intentions, that they as an individual component of the larger culture, may to whatever degree be contributing to the problem and conscientiously think through what role they can play in improving it.

The only honest alternative position is to either hold the belief that there is no actual problem at all, or to be openly misogynist and think that the existing inequality is the way things should be.

You've gotta develop ways of thinking, ways of appreciating art to enjoy the better stuff. Without more finely-tuned perceptions and, in many cases, a base of knowledge and a kind of vocabulary, taken in a broad sense, you'll miss too much to really get it. Call it "taste" if you like.

True in pretty much any medium. Best you'll get from great art otherwise is maybe "yeah, I liked it", while missing much of what it offered. You may catch what you missed later when revisiting it. Much good art isn't very likely to give you even that much of a positive reaction if you watch it too early in your journey. Best way to get people into The Good Stuff is to show them one of the ones with good broad, surface appeal, then talk to them about the things that made it so good that maybe (probably) they didn't even notice, at least consciously. Show them some influences on that work, show them similar things that are worse and talk about why they're worse. Why is this character less effective, why is this similar scene so much better here than there, why did this film put this before that and how would it change if they swapped those things, why does this establishing shot make you feel uneasy all on its own (what is an establishing shot, and why are they there, and what happens if you take them away), and so on.

Gotta start somewhere, and jumping in the deep end will turn almost anyone off.

I thought the two on the left were women and the one on the right was a hair band rocker (man).

I think if anything this is confirming your individual biases about what men and women should look like, which is part of the problem with our tech community. Even if I'm wrong about the rocker (likely), the problem isn't the picture - it's all of us.
Which ARM? Have you ever even looked at ARM implementation errata? At the errata for people doing semi-custom ARM like Cavium? Do you think that those companies are as diligent as Intel?

I can’t say anything about ARM vendors, but I’m pretty familiar with MIPS and PowerPC errata from chips in the mid-2000s and they generally made Intel look 10x as professional and careful.
Everything I've read has led me to believe that whiteboard interviews for internal hires/transfers are still a thing at this particular company, so I've avoided even that...
From someone who worked with the Twitter firehose briefly: A handful of gigs per day. More like hundreds of terabytes of information total, headed into petabyte territory. First, there's a lot of tweets. Also, the message itself is not all the data available with a tweet. Toss in any semantic processing or tagging and each message grows quickly.

The company I worked with spent a non-trivial amount of money storing historical tweets. I'd even go so far to say that was the majority of the IAAS costs - even more than the compute required to process them in real time.
Why? He was sitting on a goldmine and fucked it all up due to his own arrogance.

And all the unethical, getting-their-hands-dirty shit you mentioned seems of dubious value and certainly moreso now that he's been fired from his company; seems like all the same could've been achieved without hiring a team of assholes and without being one himself.
Furthermore, if there is someone with money "just sitting in a bank" they

I'm having a hard time imagining this at scale.

I have a few thousand web pages on my site, blog posts, etc. Most of it won't be seen in any given day. So I have to pin it as it's realistically unlikely anyone else will. Not much different from today. This probably describes 90% of web content out there, where a single node is all that is keeping that content alive.

Now imagine something slightly more popular than my website. Maybe a particular Medium article. If it's two years old, it's unlikely to be getting any hits at this point, though it might have been popular at one time. So again, Medium has to pin it (or maybe the author would). Popular stuff would stay floating around while it's being viewed.

It's almost a dynamic CDN/torrent which could help with bandwidth, but I don't see any advantage for persistence in most cases.
It's not just other tabs: because of iframes, a single page can be composed of content from arbitrarily many sites. Without a browser architecture that allows documents embedded via iframe to be rendered out of process, each tab's process needs access to passwords, etc for every site.

Once you have support for out of process iframes, you can lock down each process so that it doesn't have access to data for sites other than the one it was created to render documents for. That lockdown is what can prevent Spectre variant 1 from being used to steal data cross-site: the data is no longer in the process to steal.

Not sure how this is relevant, "legacy" bands like Guns N Roses and ACDC headlined the previous 2 years and those bands have audiences that are shrinking to due to old age.
Yes. But I had heard of the news story about them starting to archive twitter. If I hadn't, maybe I would be more confused. Why would the library of congress quit twitter, I thought, and why would it even be a worthy enough event to warrant a news article? If they didn't find value in it, they would just stop posting. Why would a neutral government agency take something like a political stance against twitter? If I was wrong, yes, it definitely was news worthy. But occam's razor, and the law of clickbait, led me to the conclusion that most likely, it means that they've stopped archiving tweets, and not that they have deleted their account.
RT has both the "tomato score" and an actual average. I was talking about the latter.

The official terminology for this is "provisioning" and "deprovisioning" or overall "lifecycle management" and is a pain for lots of companies in lots of different contexts.

For example, when I left [then startup, now publicly traded] in Nov 2013, it took them 15+ months until they turned off my Github access.. in the meantime, I had access to all the private repositories. (Yes, I notified them multiple times.)

SAML is pretty widely supported but yes, it's a pain. SCIM[0] is less painful approach for the provisioning side and maps to the API mindset better. Unfortunately, it hasn't seen mass adoption so far but I think we'll get there as more people understand it and/or realize that companies will pay for it. But you'll still need SAML or OIDC for the SSO piece.

I do think there's a business need for this which is why I joined Okta in 2016, which does exactly this. I'll refrain from a sales pitch but you can explore it on your own[1].

> I would stay away from dynamically-typed languages (e.g., the Lisp and Scheme families) for software engineering. Dynamic typing means more run-time errors

Note that Common Lisp has type declarations, which can move type errors from run-time to compile-time.

ML is a nice language family if you want something which is typed and participates in the Lisp mindset.

> I wasn't quite clear if the problem was the work or the company?

I honestly don't have a complete answer for this. I mean, I know the work is a major problem, but it's not the only factor by far. It's definitely the one front and center, however.

As for other "life" things, I believe I do well there. I get 8 hours of sleep, I exercise 4 days a week, eat healthy, etc. No relationships but I'm antisocial to a tremendous degree so there's not much helping me there.

I appreciate the comments. Thank you!
I couldn't say. I do remember at the time searching for a few topics on the net -- and sadly it was one of those "black holes" where there simply isn't equivalent information out there.

I imagine there might be some stuff in research papers, but that seems like an even worse learning experience.

Yep, it does suggest that. Just because everyone has equal rights under a governmental system, doesn't mean everyone is actually equal by any substantive metric.
> That sort of costs money, hence taxes.

Indeed. And Uber is no different. The cost of our cheap rides is still paid by the wealthy, in this case VCs and other investors.
Thank you - I have thought about this on and off but the thought of speaking to someone about this in-person (or even over the phone) terrifies me to the point of almost breaking down just thinking about it.

I know it's irrational, and I know I need to do it, but that doesn't make it any easier :(
While it would be more accurate to say that it contains “only figures that conform to female body stereotypes” rather than “only women”, to the extent the latter is an issue of any kind, the former is an issue of the same general class (in fact, I don't think the people complaining about the former would actually be concerned at all if it was the former but not the latter); further, in the case of images where he individuals aren't known to the speaker, the only way the latter can sensibly be interpreted is as a reference to the former, so the objection itself seems to me to be rather context-blind pointless pedantic distraction from any substance.
Maven surely can. You only depend on binary versions of Java libraries, no source code, as it should be.

SNI usually implies that TLS is being terminated for multiple domains on a single computer, but the process actually rendering the HTML (in this case I guess it is Google Sites) may be running on a different computer entirely. It's difficult to infer too much from use of SNI: on the modern internet it often just means the site is behind some kind of CDN which doesn't bother to provision new IP addresses for each site.

In any case, the Site Isolation feature described here is a browser feature, unrelated to how the sites are hosted. Site Isolation provides additional isolation between different websites loaded in a user's web browser in order to limit the scope of some potential exploits: for example, to make it more difficult for malicious code hosted on example.org to access your gmail.com credentials.
> when processing long runs we'd get on with other stuff while the data was being processed.

The main reason why fMRI processing takes so long is the reluctance of the major neuroimaging suites to embrace GPUs. A newer suite, BROCCOLI [1], is substantially faster but has much less adoption and isn't quite as full-featured as the other suites.

That's a very good question. I was thinking of legal tender laws, which I understand to usually stipulate that any debt incurred must be payable in cash money issued by the relevant state.

Of course, there are a number of ambiguities there, so maybe it is possible to run a bank without providing cash withdrawals and still be on the right side of the law in the US.
However, I believe Solaris uses separate address spaces for user and kernel on SPARC. So that should avoid meltdown at least.

Also, it is unclear whether it allows speculation beyond privilege boundaries and it is also unclear whether ordering semantics for memory are different enough to mitigate somewhat.

I wish I still had access to modern sparc hardware to find out.

While it’s best to assume everything is vulnerable unless proven otherwise I’d really like to see a thorough evaluation.
Not just employees, but also "subjects, witnesses, and complainants". Yikes. This is way worse than the last one.

Why Raspberry Pi Isn't Vulnerable to Spectre or Meltdown
I remember when the Commodore 64 scene got so serious that people started complaining if you didn't have -7 to -14 day releases... Some games were even released in "cracked" versions before all the levels were complete ("cracked" because I doubt they had to circumvent much copy protection when they clearly got their stuff from internal sources).

As someone who was a kid who actually cared about the games, it just seemed pointlessly tiresome to be worth it at that point.
A friend of mine has a client who creates patents for future technologies 5-10 years down the line.

I don't understand why so many people are hung up on flying cars. It's a huge increase in the energy it takes to get from point A to point B, and for what reason? What do they hope to gain by wasting so much more fuel?
No, I don't think so.

Their later communications say "We've been working with a new card issuer for a few months and will be ready shortly" which, while not mutually exclusive to their previous "we had no warning" communications, at least _implies_ that they had some inkling this was in the works and either were playing the bluff / negotiation game and got called, or had hoped it would all go away and so hadn't communicated the possibility to their customers.
EEG nets that use saline solutions are much more manageable than gel-based nets from what I've seen (disclaimer: only ever had to use the saline solution nets). That said, avoiding crosstalk between electrodes / bridging was a bitch.
I think another point to add is that raising animals for food can be seen as a symbiotic relationship.

If not for the development of animal husbandry, would pigs, chickens, and such be as successful (from a total population pov)? I think not. Many animals have the chance to be alive, only because they are supported by humans. This relationship is not only one-way: they are protected from predators, sheltered, and fed.

Of course this doesn't justify mistreatment. But it puts in perspective the idea that turning vegetarian, and banning meat would be good for those animals in question. It wouldn't: they wouldn't be alive in the first place.

By the way, even animal husbandry is not specific to humans. Ants for example, have "farmed" aphids for millions of years. They milk them for honeydew and eventually eat them.
