I mostly agree with that, with the caveat that it could...

The part where it doesn't: AAVs do not integrate their DNA into the host genome, not by themselves at least. They form latent infections, which will persist until the cell divides or die.

However, the part where they could: AAVs can infect any type of cells, including germline cells. While they persist, if the cell becomes infected with an Adeno or Herpes virus, which can also infect a broad range of cells, then they could integrate into the host genome, including germline cells.
> If we could up our utilization with more people doing R&D, for instance, we’d accumulate knowledge much faster.

And we are. What do you think the end result of China, India, etc., lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty will be? In 30 years' time we will have probably doubled the number of researchers out there, if not more.
I, for one, am eternally grateful for the incredibly bright people who take the time to patch this sort of stuff.
Not just linked binaries, also the whole underlying OS, and, critically, the compiler itself. Otherwise you could replace the 'proofed' construct with one that is not proofed against the bug.
Apparently the perf impact isn't so bad outside of microbenchmarks actually. 10% for real world programs ... as long as you use profile guided optimisation to devirt as many calls as possible!

Pretty painful for C++ but fixable with build changes. JVM users and other JIT-compiled languages will probably be fixable without any serious impact, as HotSpot and other advanced runtimes devirtualise calls (convert indirect to direct) as much as they can anyway, meaning most calls won't be indirect when finished and once the code has warmed up.
Wow, thank you for writing this. It's very, very eye-opening and insightful.

Sure, but the question of whether or not streaming has helped music or musicians overall has nothing to do with the economic model of the 19th century and prior. It's about the change from 20th to 21st century.

I hope in future we come up with something better than any of the three.
You misunderstood my post to mean I'm blind? And you're giving me this little screed to tell me I should wait patiently for 20 years until my turn comes, that I can finally see like others.

Well, I'm not blind but I'm revolted at the idea that a blind person should wait for a quarter of their life to go by, just so somebody can recoup the costs of research that should have been supported by public funds in the first place.

>> Also, frankly, you yourself have contributed exactly nothing to the development of this drug, so I don't see why you should blame society for not having it available to you immediately.

The people who developed that drug were able to do it because they grew up in a society that allowed them to become scientists, by freely sharing the work contributed by others and the knowledge discovered by others (because science). And that, on top of every other benefit of living in a human society and not having to invent and construct every bit of science, technology and infrastructure from the ground up, on their own.

That is the secret sauce of how societies work: solidarity. If you take this away, you take everything else away with it too, including the benefits of having science and technological progress in the first place.

But, you say- all the technology and science will become free in the long run. Just wait. Well, some people are blind now. Why let them wait, when we can cure them already?

And if the blind men can wait patiently for 20 years to see the light, why can't the sellers of the drug wait their turn also? Let's set up a fund to collect $850k for each blind person who is cured, thanks to this new treatment. And let the creators of the drug get that money in twenty years from now. They can wait patiently too, can't they?
Well, for one, my contract explicitly prohibits me from disclosing my salary publicly - I am protected by law to discuss it with my colleagues, but (technically) I cannot post it online.

> Unless you are arrogant enough to believe that you can read the user's mind

Hint: reading the next sentence will reveal that you are not arguing against a point I made.

> because some idiot was so concerned with protecting the OS from the user they forgot to protect the user's data

Similarly, this is bizarrely wrong: studying recent OS developments would show a strong trend for protecting user data from malicious unprivileged code — and that every improvement has been met with people arguing that this is taking away users’ freedom. Security experts have been arguing for decades that it’s of little value to protect the kernel but still allow someone’s data to be compromised.

The reason why the other work matters is that security depends on layers. If you put in a system which blocks the easy attacks, most attackers aren’t going to give up but will instead switch to more complicated attacks and social engineering has been enduringly effective. Facebook had to add a warning message for the JavaScript console because users were successfully being convinced to copy and paste code which exfiltrated their own session cookies!

> Maybe it did not occur to the designers that you would want to create new processes for anything but parallelism

Parallelism? In the original unix? You're talking absolute nonsense. These were single socket, single core systems. How on earth do you think it was designed for parallelism?

But we don't even need to debate this - read the 1971 manual.

https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/pdfs/man21.pdf

"fork is the only way new processes are created"

exec is also in there, and refers to fork and describes how to use them to run programs.

>> You have to consider the wider consequences of destroying the incentive for some to use their free time to research drugs and create inventions.

I'm sorry, but the incentive is right there: curing a person's blindness. Curing cancer. Curing HIV. Helping people live longer, healthier, happier, more productive lives. These are worthy goals and most scientists will at the very least recognise them as such. Most anyone will recognise them as such.

But you're talking about monetary incentives. And that's the higher moral ground, is it?
You don't think this is how they built the original wheels?
> The reason for this snowball effect is largely due to a lack of confidence that feeds upon convenience as opposed to examination of why technical problems exist in the first place.

I find this a great answer.

Much time is spent these days on taping over problems at the high level on the top of broken stacks, instead of fixing the underlying issues.

Building on broken foundations will only get you so far and yield diminishing returns, even if it initially looks easy and convenient to just build on top.
Attributes is just another word for "global state". When we speak of elegance in computing, it often means functional programming languages where eradicating global state is the primary motivation.

So really fork is the opposite of elegance. It makes state implicit, not explicit.
Well in at least several states wearing body armor is illegal. Same with driving a tank. The US has the largest and best equipped military in the world. And unlike the Middle East, I don’t think the US government would hesitate to act against any attempt to secede. Take for example Texas, a state which still believes it never joined the United States, and one that is heavily armed. Do you really think Texas could revel and secede?

As far as the constitution goes, I do think the rest of it is rather workable. Except the second amendment. It is the single most vaguely worded and most misapplied portion of it. It’s like if you wrote a piece of code that ran all the systems in all the hospitals in a country, and did a fantastic job of it, except it picked out randomly about 30k people a year and killed them because of an edge case and a bit of undefined behavior. Would you fix that bug or would you just point out that because overall the system is better than most we shouldn’t worry? We clearly set the precedent that the constitution can be too vague and in one case outright wrong. I say the second amendment is a bad amendment and has been for at least the past 50 years.

Yup the app will work great for just one person! Thanks for checking it out.

I know at Google there's supposedly a big internal salary sharing doc started by Erica Baker, and she wasn't fired for it (although her manager was supposedly quite unhappy).
> America has always been hostile to unions

Not the idea of unions, just how the US ones turn out: a mountain of political corruption, inefficiency, and organized crime motivating an entrenched and self-perpetuating attitude. Big unions are more about their benefit than about their members, here.

From the article I linked above.
Knobs are still the best option I've come up with, they act like sliders with the mouse, yet they are smaller so you can have more density. You can also draw a longer track for a given control size, 2pir > 2*r. They often get assigned to a knob on a midi controller anyway, so it makes sense.

I haven't done much touch screen software, so no comments there.
I remember doing tricks like this in 6502 assembly and in other early processors. Amazing that to stop these attacks you have to come up with clever tricks again. Back in the 80's I would have never imagined this type of attack being something to worry about.
I try to follow "be the change you want to see" and bit by bit try to nudge the project in the right way. Start testing more code, speak with people about the issues that don't get resolved.

There may be reasons that haven't been communicated as to why issues haven't been resolved that fill in a bit more of the picture. At the end of the day though, I think it's the owners company and the PM's project. When that doesn't work any more, it's time to start looking for something new.

Only slightly related. Since many google employees will be here: How can I plan to land a job with google in 2 years if I have a physics masters and 1.5 years of web development + little exp. with other software stacks? I am trying to figure out a strategy to make it happen and I am willing to do anything, even go back to school.

* How can I get an interview? It seems simply sending my resume through the online portal will not work because I don't have a stellar academic record or much experience.

* How can I figure out what to apply for? I have experience in UI but does google even do that? I want to work at google because I want to work with the people there who are just the smartest people around. But I don't really care what I work on.

* How and how long should I prepare for the interview? I am working through the Cormen's algorithms book but I don't really have a solid CS education. And I hear that they just want you to know everything. So should I just go back to school?

* I have heard that one way is to participate and excel in coding competitions. Should I then focus my entire energy on this front? Or will this be misguided?

By design, with retpoline indirect branches won't be able to take advantage of branch prediction. This is nontrivial, but can't be helped. Performance impact should be negligible otherwise.

Salaried workers can receive overtime as well. Your thinking of exempt/non-exempt, which has more to do with responsibilities (e.g. management is an exempt category).

And the "political staff positions" are the in the same state bureaucracy as the other agency employees. They're not treated differently for retirement based solely on the fact that they work for the legislature.

And it's certainly possible to build up a lot of vacation and flex time (not strictly OT but it's still paid out at a reduced rate) in 6 years.
retpoline is just a convoluted way of doing an indirect jump/call designed to make branch prediction entirely useless. It's a novel concept because doing this is completely opposite to making a program run faster.

Here is an example of the most common programming patterns that end up causing indirect jumps/calls:

https://godbolt.org/g/eThmnG

Imagine every virtual function call in a C++ program being mispredicted and taking twice as long.

(Instead of forcing us to recompile the world, maybe Intel should just disable branch prediction in microcode.)
Having run a few areas / programs that delivered a decent amount of innovation in the underlying process, I've been surprised with just how much isn't obvious...

My general expectations:

- First six months of full time focus on a work process is basically just learning your way around; goal is to get a real process map (actual activity) and proper data source
- By the end of that period, I usually have a hypothesis about the way things ought to be
- Months 6 - 18: get knuckleheads to test hypothesis
- Years 2 - 3: Use results of tests to identify the metrics we actually should have been tracking and build appropriate data sources. Test new sets of hypothesis which work out brilliantly, usually from stuff we thought didn't matter.

Incidently... this is likely why most MBA strategy firms are full of shit... they usually exit the project within six months, which as you see... isn't anywhere near enough.
I have not had a drink for 33 years. I know a fair amount about AA. One fact is that one of the principles of AA is to maintain anonymity at the level of "press, radio and film" This principle has been stretched quite a bit in recent years, but if I was a member, I would not state it in print.
I think one of the best description of how/why AA works is by Charlie Munger (Warren Buffet's Partner) in his book "Poor Charlie's Almanack"
He describes the various mental models that we humans use, and talks about how AA uses the "Lollapalooza Effect" to help alcoholics beat their addiction.
One big issue with AA, as brought out in the article here, is that there is no official AA regulatory branch. In any given cluster there is self policing, but a new person must be aware that this society is a great place for Con artists to hide out also. I know many people who have stopped drinking and gone on to great lives. I also have a great collection of stories about crazy people and cons I have met along the way.
TLDR summary: AA really works, but especially at the beginning- be careful.

I agree with other people in this thread - this is an incredibly inefficient way to spend this time and money.

Spend these 7 months and $10k learning more and building a portfolio, you'll get much more out of it than you could from a job.

Go to udemy, pickup a few good node/react courses(google a coupon to get them for $10-$15), and you will have expert engineers, who are also expert teachers, spending hundreds of hours guiding you through the process of building projects for your portfolio.

What can you possibly get out of "real work experience" that would be more valuable than that?

Build a kickass portfolio, have a github account you can use to showoff your code. It will make you way more hireable than "work experience".

Here are my recommendations on where to start:

https://startuplab.io/post/fullstack-web-development-roadmap

Specifically, I highly recommend courses by Stephen Grider and Andrew Mead. They are absolutely incredible in quality, will teach you everything you need, and are based on real practical projects.
Excellent write up. That’s why we need SSL/TLS with HSTS. Pure HTTP, specially in public WiFi, is dead.
Arguably so is Siri, Cortana and Home too.
If you remove the second sentence in your example of Volksverhetzung, do you think it would still qualify?
My take is that Intel issues in the past have not affected profitability, so it's unlikely that this one will.

When investors see that there are operating system fixes for it, and that those fixes apply to AMD and ARM processors, it doesn't seem like a big deal. It doesn't look like there's going to be a massive recall of it, and there are no issues going forward.

So, while it's technically a BFD, as of now, investors are not seeing how this negatively impacts Intel's ability to make money. Plus, Intel's PR team did a good job at damage control.

If anything, it makes newer chips even more compelling.
