> I mean you would agree that a bunch of people could organize a boycott of Echo with ads.

Yes I would. I don't see why you need to "organize" it though. I don't need any form of organization to not use product I don't like.

> It's because we lack a coordination mechanism, the incentive of individual boycotters is to cheat.
You lost me here. You have internet full of coordination tools if you really feel like boycott of echo should be coordinated, just set up a fb group :).
> the assistant was born after the part ceased production

I can't help but wonder if there's some correlation there. Perhaps the assistant's father was so dismayed at the part's cessation that the only comfort he could attain was in the arms of his wife.
I totally agree, have been a happy Tumbleweed user for over a year now. Installation is a breeze compared to Arch.
In around 2008 I co-wrote a set of maven javascript mojos (before NodeJS), incl QUnit test integration et all. I collaborated with another fellow on the other side of the world. Documentation was stellar. IIRC, to extend, even the upgrade from M2 to M3 didn't affect most community mojos.
Where’s that quote from? ISTR reading it (or something very similar) as reported speech in a HN comment.

Overall it’s a depressing story of predictable market failure as well as internal misbehavior at Intel, if true. Few buyers want to pay or wait for correctness until a sufficiently bad bug is sufficiently fresh in human memory. And if you do want to, it’s not as if you’re blessed with many convenient alternatives.
Yep, sorry I meant Bolt above.
I think that's just good old Reporting bias. They're giving the answer they think they should be giving, not the truth.
The claim was:

> Second, the foreign students increase the schools' reputations and can collaborate with the faculty. Research is a public good.

Their evidence for the claim was personal experience.

A claim about a matter of fact is not a fact. A fact needs evidence. Otherwise it's just nonsense.
Good point about static analysis and C code. That means you would not be able to toss memory protection unless you introduce fast hardware support for bounds checking and bounds check everything in JITed code. I guess you could also have the JIT do more elaborate guarding of memory but that would probably have a performance penalty.

You could still toss a lot: virtualization, complex multi-layered protection modes, address remapping, and essentially every hardware feature that exists to support legacy binary code. All deprecated instructions and execution modes could go, etc.

Finally you would maintain the benefit of architecture flexibility. Switching from x86 to ARM, etc., would be easy.

With a policy of hiring only women, or with being a field of mostly female solo operators without employees, with nearly 100% of applicants for places that do hire employees being female?

Because the two things aren't equivalent in the law.
> Look to the background of villains in mainstream super hero movies

This. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one to notice that villains in popular movies/TV shows increasingly present reasonable positions (even if crooked methods), while it's the protagonists who seem to live by simplistic, populistic, feelings-based morality.
So... this is light on details into their analysis, but Laszlo Block [formerly of Google - where I work fwiw], claimed "In 2015 we added 8,214 employees to Google. And the women we hired, on average, received a 30 percent bigger salary increase upon joining the company, compared to men."

If you accepted his claim that Google does pay genders equitably, then this would indicate a large pay disparity outside of Google.

That line drove me bonkers, and I wasn't buying "the line means quality". I couldn't have been the only one.

Luckily my studio Trinitron I got second-hand doesn't have the line, or at least is imperceptible to me.
For example, many Broadcom network cards do not have decent drivers. These are really common.
It depends on the transaction. Recent sells are not updated but all intel insider trades can be found here:

http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/intc/insider-trades

Most of trades are "automatic sells" which should mean the trades were setup days in advance. And the selling was reported on the back of the Intel issue only.
I was also worried about network I/O too, which could be an absolute pain for games where you care about latency.

Yes, but that's not germane to the discussion.
What you see as a slow clerk wasting time with chit-chat might be that person's only way of coping with working in a chronically understaffed environment. Just because Safeway can afford to keep enough people in the store to be able to move an additional person or two to registers during busy times doesn't mean that your local post office has the same budget.
Telomeres, which protect your DNA from unravelling, degrade with age. I don't keep up with the aging literature but I've heard this mentioned as one of the major reasons determining the human lifespan.

Armstrong made his way up meritocratically on the strength of his piloting skills, to fighter pilot then carrier pilot then test pilot then astronaut. Many reckoned they wouldn't've been able to pull Gemini 8 out of the spin he got it out of, or successfully find a landing spot for Apollo 11 in the boulder field they descended on.

Maybe Musk really is as skilled as all that. Or maybe he was lucky enough to make a lot of money once (with x.com) and hire good people. It's hard to tell since so few people ever get to try having that much money to play with.
This is excellent. I've run into all these different forms of umlauts in various old Scandinavian and German manuscripts. I concluded that, yes, they are indeed just umlauts, so if transcribing in latin Script (for German anyway), use an umlaut. The grammar made that clear enough.

But I never knew the typographical history as to why there are so many different forms. So very cool that we can trace the lineage to specific printers.
I find that hard to believe, given that Finland, sitting between Russia and Sweden and Norway, is not a part of Russia.

Sure, that's one possibility. Probably not a very realistic one but it's there.

>I don't see why you would immediately go towards having the government step in and regulate whether Amazon can make the Echo prefer their own products quite yet.

Why should we immediately go towards another company/market-oriented solution? What is it about government that requires we wait around for the market to fail? Why not just go do what we want?

> That's clearly a false assumption. As long as I can identify a group say people who's social security numbers end in 7 then their exists a difference between them and all other groups.

That's not a difference, that's an arbitrary classification that has no moral implications.

A meaningful difference with moral implications would be something like one race being superior to another, as the Nazis believed, or some bloodlines being divinely selected, as the Royal family of England once believed. This enables you to argue that one class of people is bound to a different set of moral prescriptions than another.

When arguing that one group of people have different moral prescriptions, then you are implicitly asserting that there is some objective, factual difference between these groups that entails this conclusion. Such differences don't actually exist, ergo, there is no justification for treating them any differently.

> And there are plenty of folks who simply want to fight the enemies of $COUNTRY and aren't necessarily psychopaths because of it.

Agreed. I meant "red flag" in way that it should be look at more in depth. It could be they are driven by patriotism or they just like to break rules and get a high from that.
I tend to agree with you on all of those point, for a cost sharing scheme.

When a lot of people don't want the policy at all it becomes a cost forcing scheme though...and that's the crux of the problem.

If this was California legislation and it had problems, local politicians in California would be campaigning to make the changes right now. The question of how long we're going to be stuck with the current issues is where the federal flaw lies. It removes the ability of people to adapt and react to problems. The larger pool is a negative when the pool size expands the scope of issues.

> If you accepted his claim that Google does pay genders equitably, then this would indicate a large pay disparity outside of Google.

Or it would indicate a successful outreach program at Google for women by which they were successful at getting qualified women not currently working in tech to apply; this doesn't necessarily imply a like-duties gender pay gap.
Let me enlighten you: females message less attractive males because females love validation and attention and lose nothing if they do so, not because they don't actually know who they really like.

We live in a serial-monogamous society -- if the average individual wants a relationship he/she'll eventually have to settle for an average partner, regardless of who they fancy the most.
Starting with my pet peeves with home automation software... I started writing my own. Then it became the start of an assistant. Now I also run it in my car (I'm implementing navigation, and reading about CAN interfaces). The one thing, hilariously, not implemented yet, is voice recognition, but the whole system's designed to account for it. I'm hoping some of the open source projects for voice like Mozilla's will lead to something I feel comfortable implementing here.

I personally strongly recommend people look to put the "personal" back in personal assistant. Build something that does what you need it to, you'd be surprised how easy it can be, and how educational doing it is. I've learned a ton of stuff I didn't know just implementing basic features.
Critical thinking would demand recognition of the fact that intelligence agencies compromising security isn't a hypothetical anymore, it's a fact, and it would further demand intense skepticism of unauditable and hostile (resists attempts to disable it) code running below ring 0.

I have no idea how or if this is a big deal but:

>>attack that would be almost expected in a processor with speculative execution unless special measures were taken to prevent it.

if you're going to put in features with expected attacks you should definitely be putting in features to prevent it , and if it is an expected attack it shouldn't be special measures it should just be an inherent part in introducing the feature.
The bug isn't really KASLR, it's more about reading kernel memory from userspace through side channel attacks of speculative execution.

KASLR is/was the cover for the kernel patches, to avoid disclosing the real bug.
The Trinitron studio monitors also have RGBS (red, green, blue, composite-sync) BNC connectors, meaning that it's fairly easy to directly hook up bare arcade boards and get that real arcade experience.
It's sometimes underestimated at what level of detail evolution operates.

Much of the cause of the high cost of care in the US is not social, or political, or demographic, but economic:

The single biggest line item in the US healthcare budget is hospital care

The price of hospital care (as measured by cost of inpatient bed day, [1]) in the US is on the order of twice as high as that of France, Germany and the U.K.

The time period where the cost of US healthcare in OP article separated from other countries coincides with the increase in hospital consolidation in the US

Hospital consolidation is demonstrated to lead to increase in price without commensurate increase in care [2]

There are other factors as well, but this is probably the single biggest cause of high US healthcare cost, and it's almost never discussed

Not to mention the role of bone in blood cell synthesis!

The bone is a fascinating organ and sadly misunderstood by most people. They are, essentially, living rocks. Our bones are innervated, full of living cells, and constantly engaging in a chemical equilibrium with the body on CaPO4 as you point out.

Furthermore, the bone needs to grow along with the creature. It has to be soft enough to accommodate childbirth but allow growth and hardening as the organism matures. The process by which this occurs in natural bone is complex and remarkable.

Metal bones can't do any of this stuff.

You can't solve the underlying bugs because it's impossible for you to force your neighbor to make good choices and to live a net productive life.

>>working hard solves everything and that their country is the best in the world period

>what's wrong with that exactly?

I think I can answer this.

The Puritan work ethic is great. Working hard actually does solve many, many problems.

So, why is there an issue? When it is assumed that working hard fixes all problems, then it is also assumed that if there are problems then the reason must be that someone didn't work hard enough to solve that problem. This causes people to dismiss problems as if they know the root cause when they really don't. This is a huge problem.

As for the 'best in the world, period' issue? Well, when you're convinced you are already the best, why work to improve? If there are problems showing, then it must be a fundamental characteristic of life or the situation we find ourselves in (the 'we have a very heterogeneous society so other nation's solutions couldn't possibly work here' argument comes to mind), not that we could possibly need to improve. We're already the best!

Resting on one's laurals. Never a good thing.

The cap on profits encourages higher spending on medical procedures, since the more you spend the more you can make, so it works to keep prices high.
This specific issue is very relevant to cloud providers, who are the guys that buy thousands of CPUs, and doesn't affect AMD's current generation. I don't know what Intel's profit breakdown is, but I suspect it is heavily weighted to the high-end server chips where they have had no real competition for many years.

And also, why should all Americans prepay in taxes to subsidize 10s of thousands of dollars for one 20 min anesthesia session? Why should they continue encourage these insane health care costs by pre paying for them? How is the country better off this way?

Debian has dropped PPC support moving forward, so you're on borrowed time. You may want to look into OpenBSD or NetBSD as a backup plan if you intend to keep that hardware long-term. I've found OpenBSD to be nearly painless to maintain and not too much of a learning curve (admittedly coming from Slackware being the Linux distro I cut my teeth on nearly 20 years ago).

That said, I don't know how difficult it would be to install a non-Linux OS on that particular device; I know it was designed for and shipped with Debian. I've had success installing the various BSDs on all kinds of obscure hardware but I've yet to get my hands on a MyBook Live.
The steps are same for PoW & PoS:

1. Cashout - for example send coins to an exchange, sell them for other crypto, withdraw everything

2. Flood the network with transaction where your coin was transferred to your other wallet instead of exchange

3. There are two conflicting transactions, you want the network to select the one where coins stay in your hands. For PoW that requires 50%+ of CPU power, for PoS it requires to have significant % of all coins.

It is like brute forcing card chargeback - merchant had your money and they are gone and he can't do much about it. It makes exchanges more likely a target of double spending attack than the source. I guess higher deposit/withdraw delays&fees would make PoS attacks unprofitable.
