Yeah, 50 miles a day, most days. My daily commute is quite normal, easily within the range of a Leaf or whatever, but I also enjoy frequent roadtrips to Chicago, Cleveland, Dayton, Toronto, occasionally Kansas City or Washington DC. Most of those are weekend jaunts, but there are longer trips too – I drove to Eagle Harbor last summer and Orlando over the holidays. I’ll probably drive to NYC this summer, as I have in 4 of the last 10 years. I love roadtrips and consider them a wonderful part of the American experience. (Following Route 66 with a few friends from school is an adventure everyone should have, and I simply don’t know if there’s a European equivalent. This is very hard to explain to folks who didn't grow up in the US.)

The standard EV-evangelist response to this is “take the train” or “rent a car for the weekend”, but I’m sorry, those just aren’t comfortable for me – the train lacks the freedom and sense of adventure, and rentals usually smell funny, among other things. Altering my lifestyle to suit the car’s limitations means it was the wrong car in the first place: The car should serve me, not the other way around. The Tesla’s longer range and presence of Supercharger stations along the routes are totally irrelevant for my daily commute, but they completely change the game when you include the other driving I consider important.

With any other EV, I would need a second car to address the other part of my usage, and that means twice the insurance, twice the registration cost, twice the driveway-space, and the chance of forgetting something important in the one car while I’m using the other. And feeling like a glutton for owning an “extra” vehicle.

With a long-range and fast-charging EV, I can finally have a single car that handles my daily commute and my road-trip habit, and that's been the main thing keeping me out of EVs so far. I've saved my place in line and I'm looking forward to the day they call my name.

Don't spread conspiracy theories.

It's absolutely impossible for the most visible executive of one of the largest firms to engage in insider trading in such an obvious fashion and get away with it.

At this level, there is always a paper trail of who knew what when. There are internal and external audits if any suspicions arise.

Plus there are sever penalties, both civil (in the employment contract) as well as criminal. Intel's CEO is without a doubt in the 9- or 10-digit range of personal wealth. Risking time in jail to avoid a 10% loss on his stock holdings would be a terrible decision even if they considered the chance of being caught was low.

No, the industry best practice is coordinated disclosure. The term "responsible disclosure" is a misnomer that we'd be far better off if we, as a society, stopped using it.

When a North Korean Missile Accidentally Hit a North Korean City
Cryptocurrency is about new, exciting ways of applying cryptography. People idolize the blockchain, but I think what's cooler than that is coming up with new ways to use crypto. DAGs are very cool. They can be used to compress volumetric data down to less than 1 bit/voxel! So its exciting to me that people are exploring DAGs + cryptography.

Anyway, the lesson for me was too look past the hype just a little deeper. At the time raiblocks was an underdog, so I closed the slack and forgot about it. At the very least, I could have learned a little more about it.

Lately I've really been curious about pascalcoin's approach. Its blockchain is trimmed constantly, acting as a short term, working memory. Its supposed to be very fast. Unfortunately, it's written in pascal, which has very crusty tools! Someone should clone pascalcoin in another obscure but modern language with cross platform tools. I think it'd be a hit. Haskellcoin? That rhymes with Pascal coin and Haskell is cooler. Ocamlcoin? Doesn't rhyme but Ocaml is cool too.
None. This is great news. America is not helped at all by a foreign company owning a money transfer service, although I expect to see an avalanche of market worshippers saying how this is actually bad because markets markets markets.
This is not a security report, this is PR.

Among other things, it implies, without explicitly naming them, that AMD, ARM and OS vendors are being directly affected while most information out there point out it's merely an Intel issue.

Can't help but feel that you're projecting your personal love for spotify onto others.

Still, it relies on harnessing our spatial reasoning and I don't think most people are good at visualizing or reasoning about billions of marbles being sifted through billions of nets (in the case of simpler organisms) or even millions of marbles being sifted through ~7,000 nets (in the specific case of humans).

If we are talking about the same thing, Socrates actually said that writing an argumentation was bad because words are fixed and your adversary can give them interpretations that don't fit what you had in mind. I don't think he was against the technology of writing, he just made a point that is still true today. And it is not because technology has been beneficial in its infancy, that it will keep helping us. Current concerns about technology are supported by scientific facts. Before, it was mainly fearmongering and rumors. (Or was it ? If you have scientific study about the negative effects of technology back then..)

That's the price you pay for having a big country, there are quite a few benefits you enjoy from this -- carve it up into more easily manageable jurisdictions or deal with it. A bigger fraction of your tax dollars being absorbed by the bureaucracy in the US compared to let's say Canada or Estonia isn't something that can be changed -- your Congress doesn't seem to have an appetite for trimming waste or implementing responsible oversight. How is the Great Wall of Trump doing btw? ;)
> Just to send money to other people in an ideologically pure way?

Ha. Never seen that put that way before, but sure.

But aside from just the currency aspect of it, blockchain protocols that support distributed apps (dapps) or smart contracts also allow for programs to be run on the blockchain; a sort of distributed computing network. This app, aside from wallet/currency functions, appears to also allow you to interact with these distributed apps and see their state.
It does explicitly name them:

> Recent reports that these exploits are caused by a “bug” or a “flaw” and are unique to Intel products are incorrect. Based on the analysis to date, many types of computing devices — with many different vendors’ processors and operating systems — are susceptible to these exploits.

I wonder how this will play out since it seems that everyone, apart from Intel, view this issue as a "flaw".
Virtualization is one popular way to drive up CPU utilization. The more diverse workloads run on a given server, the more even the CPU usage tends to get. This way, if you have 100 workloads that peak at 100% but average at 1%, your CPU usage will tend to be smooth at 100%, any overallocation will smooth out over time (a job that would take 1 second may take up to 10).

No, you can just read data you shouldn't be able to.

You seem to assume the business of a musician is to publish music and distribute it.

Artists also make a lot of their money by licensing their music, or concerts, which are big logistical problems full of middle men. Big labels also give you a lot of PR and visibility.
"In 1978, Apple Records filed suit against Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) for trademark infringement. The suit was settled in 1981 with the payment of $80,000 to Apple Corps. As a condition of the settlement, Apple Computer agreed to stay out of the music business. A dispute subsequently arose in 1989 when Apple Corps sued, alleging that Apple Computer's machines' ability to play back MIDI music was a violation of the 1981 settlement agreement. In 1991 another settlement, of around $26.5 million, was reached.[54][55] In September 2003, Apple Computer was again sued by Apple Corps, this time for introducing the iTunes Music Store and the iPod, which Apple Corps asserted was a violation of Apple's agreement not to distribute music. The trial opened on 29 March 2006 in the UK,[56] and in a judgement issued on 8 May 2006, Apple Corps lost the case."

The thing I keep wanting to bring up:

>Higher prices aren’t all bad for consumers. They probably lead to some increased innovation, which confers benefits to patients globally. Though it’s reasonable to push back on high health care prices, there may be a limit to how far we should.

Fundamentally speaking, much like education, while I agree that healthcare is unaffordable to many, I point out that this is different from being too expensive. I think the idea that we are spending too much of our wealth on education and healthcare is... wrong.

I mean, sure, there are limits on what we want to spend, as a society, on healthcare, and yes, I personally think that a lot of the public money being spent on healthcare (and I think a lot of public money should be spent on healthcare) should be spent on research that benefits all, but overall? as a society? I don't think spending 17% of our GDP on healthcare is a problem (assuming we're receiving good benefits from that, which I think we are)

And yeah, maybe there needs to be 'community college' equivalent of healthcare; a system where anyone can show up and get care that is good but not the best for next to nothing. And yes, we do need more and better-funded research for the public good. I certainly don't have a problem with private industry researching new drugs for us, but we have to understand that their incentives are... different, and that there's a place for public-funded work for the public-interest.

Netflix was/is competing with exclusive products like expensive cable channels or established studios' productions which are not available on vehicle radio, youtube and other free avenues. So Netflix is able to get comparable reach to cable TV. For music there are far more avenues to listen for free and unlimited times with some ads.
I agree about modularity and encapsulation being important.

Usually I try to weight the overhead of having more function prototypes to track, indirections in the main function and whatnot versus the overhead of having it all inlined.

A lot of things become more evident as you inline one-use functions, because the whole context is now local.
We'll start being more syscall conscious when we write our programs. We'll batch more at the user mode side and try to use less syscalls to do the job.

Kernel ABIs will eventually reflect that and crop up higher level expensive calls that replace groups of currently cheap syscalls (that will become expensive after the fix).

And Intel will profit handsomely from next generation CPUs that'll get an instant up-to-30% performance boost for fixing this bug.
Do you think the executive speculation has been well coordinated? :)
customer service. cpe rental/installation.

The downside is that when you call the "ISP" they pass the buck to the wire company, who usually passes it right back and your Internet never gets fixed.

hypothetically the actual internet bandwidth itself.

That's a commodity, so having faux competition to resell commodity transit/peering seems like it would just add overhead. Also, splitting a market between multiple small ISPs potentially reduces their volume discounts.
So they don't offer an export option? This is not the same as holding your passwords random, by the way.
Semantics is important when you're trying to change the definition of a word that is rigorously defined

I'm not changing the meaning of "lens". First-of-all, I don't have that kind of authority. Second-of-all, the bumpy plastic is clearly being used as a lens.

The bumpy plastic is used to focus light onto the sensor array in a novel way that allows the resulting sensor image to be used to construct 2D and 3D images. A lens focuses or disperses light, normally to form an image. That's what is happening here in this device. Just because the lens shape is irregular, unplanned, and not a standard one you'd find in a camera shop doesn't mean it's not a lens.

That was just one of many examples of references to "diffuser lens". Feel free to do some googling.

I've been watching your progress for awhile now. I'm pretty convinced you're not just doing this to con people. You're genuinely trying to start something new.

If you run with people's money, you will discourage anyone else from attempting this. But if you're genuine, then this could be the start of a unique kind of model.

Best of luck, assuming you're honest.

I have no opinion on your specific company. It's more interesting that you're using ICOs to fund your operation, and that you seem to have a chance of succeeding.

One tip, though. Be prepared for unfair behavior. If LEA decides to contact the NSA to help track you down, they can probably figure out some way to trip you up.

Also, it's probably important to show some kind of hard progress. Hopefully you'll release something soonish.
I'd expect engineers that are aware of such serious bugs to spit on the grave of backwards compatibility.
After all, the worst case impact would be smaller than the current emergency patches: rewriting small parts of operating systems with a variant for new fixed processors.

Metal as a material is different from metal elements. Metal element atoms are common - most kinds of rock contain them. Metal as a material, by contrast, has metallic bonding, where electrons are delocalized across many atoms. This is what gives metal materials all their special properties. The metal atoms in rock do not have metallic bonding; they have covalent and ionic bonding to nonmetal atoms like oxygen. Therefore rock does not contain metal the material, even though it contains metal elements.

My cousin had a similar upbringing experience 30 years ago. At that time, we called it emotionally abusive as the micromanagement was accompanied by an unforgiving parental style. When the chains were finally lifted, the parents found they had the exact type of person they raised, one who ran from them and ignored them at every opportunity.
The delay may have something to do with complying with local laws. I suspect that since this is limited to non-profits, Apple is claiming some portion of this $99 as a tax deduction.

At this point Apple ships an LTE connected smart watch. Android OEMs have done so for a few years at this point. So I think all that remains is for costs to come down, battery life to improve, and the social acceptance thing to play out.
