I don't know your financial position, but one huge obstacle to getting into anything related to space has been the high cost of entry.

Have you thought about that much? Any ideas?

Best of luck with your endeavours, because it sounds awesome! Endeavour, like the space shuttle of course ;)
> The Skylake/Kaby hyperthread bug has been fixed in microcode and is no longer applicable. It's perfectly safe to run HT on these processors now.

Only if you can actually get the fix. My main home PC has this bug and the motherboard manufacturer (ASUS) has yet to ship a BIOS update with the fix.
> This is consistent with filmmaking tradition and the nature of humanities efforts in general.

It was consistent with filmmaking tradition when Snow White was made. It's not anymore because the previous century's worth of work is locked up behind essentially perpetual copyright.

Disney used public domain works as inspiration but then pulled up the ladder behind them so that future artists can't do the same.
Born in 1977. When in elementary school I would leave in morning, come home for lunch, come back for dinner, come back when getting dark. I would ride my bike all over the neighborhood, play in the creek, play in the woods, etc. Just like the kids in Stranger Things.

If I let my elementary age children do that today the police would be called. My sister has had neighbors call because her kids were playing in their front yard.

It's a 100% sad and ridiculous situation. We're raising an imprisoned generation who can't handle anything. How is staring at a glowing screen all day a childhood?

EDIT: I suppose I should tone down my rhetoric but this really worries me.
Index funds might be forced to invest though.
I don't think 500 miles of range is what will trigger it as the obvious choice.

A proliferation of decent, non "ev looking" cars with 200 miles of range will be all it takes for people to realize that they only really drive 50 miles a day, and paying for gas is for suckers.
>"When you buy Apple Stock it's not from Apple."

How are these two comparable? When Apple IPO'd back in 1980 you were buying stock from Apple.

>"...but they are probably not raising money because they either don't need it or believe they can get better funding terms."

They lose hundreds of millions of dollars year over year, why would they not need it? Also why would they believe that they can get better funding now when they resorted to selling debt with unfavorable term intheir last round of financing?
The key difference is your rights, isn't it? After all, this is a legal issue.

I permanently have the right to listen to a CD I own as many times as I want.

With Spotify, as far as I'm aware, they can yank any part of the catalog without anything owed to me as a listener. If I wake up tomorrow and the only thing available is John Cage's 4'33", I have no recourse. Spotify isn't offering me storage space.
They have a number of jobs open on their website (I was looking), in Kent, WA where their headquarters is!

So is this sort of issue more likely to occur on a non-RISC chip because of added complexity? I know extremely little about microprocessor design beyond the 101 knowledge from college so forgive my ignorance.

If that's the user's situation, they should also be in a position to work out a better solution with whatever corporate/school IT is managing the firmware password.

If you're frequently installing and uninstalling buggy kexts, you're pretty far out of the mainstream as a user. Let alone if you also have a firmware password, and it's managed by someone else. Yes, that's a scenario where SIP will be annoying, but it's also not the scenario you can base the security model around for a consumer OS.
I have not worked in the government because I haven't been willing to submit myself to that level of inflexibility in my work.

However, I know a lot of people who have worked or currently do work in government, up to and including innovation fellows at the federal level.

I think you're responding to a point that I didn't make. I never said that government tech workers are top notch; in fact I know they generally are not.

My point is that even if you could fire anyone with no process, you would still be stuck with the inflexible structure that government tends to impose on any employee. You would still have trouble recruiting. Why aren't you a government employee? Because it would be too hard to get fired there? No, because it's more enjoyable to work in private industry. Me too.

Management basics: you cannot fire your way to success. You have to hire and empower great employees.

Firing is about efficiency; but what customers and stakeholders really want is performance. It's like saying "my car is running out of gas--I better take off the roof rack." Cutting does not provide forward momentum.

Fundamentally, people want to believe that the reason that government sucks, is because government workers suck. The reality is that government sucks because it imposes structural limits on the empowerment of employees, which harms flexibility and recruiting too.

And those structural limits were put in place, because everyone thinks government workers suck! It's a circle of pain.

BTW I would not spend too much time feeling superior to government tech workers. Governments waste a shitload of money on contractors too. And the rest of the tech industry tends to look down on government contractors about the same as government employees.
That would be misleading given that it was 17 days ago.
I've worked with a lot of men and women in a lot of different kinds of work from scientific fieldwork, to technical consulting, manual labour. I've been hired as a private consultant by both men and women, I've worked alongside men and women on equal footing, I've had to train and supervise both and I've worked under both.

When it comes to consulting type stuff I didn't really notice any difference between their willingness to pay me what I asked or bargain with me. Most of the women I know who do consulting don't have the problems described in this article and, at least in the field of biology, tend to win more contracts than men. Most of the people I worked with in Biology were women. The few men around were usually old gummers who'd been doing it for 100 years. I don't know much about how it is for computer related consulting and women. I did most of that work alone.

When it comes to heavy manual work the few women I've worked with that chose to do that kind of work outworked the men every time. When I was landscaping I seen a tiny 5 foot nothing girl rake, dig and haul faster and more than the 6 foot beefcake dude, every day while they were there. Most restoration sites I worked on were mixed crews, there was definitely a higher percentage of hard working women to men on those crews.

At my current job as a CNC programmer/operator for a granite shop, I've trained probably 4 or 5 different people to work with me now. The 4 men I trained lasted from a week to a month and a half. My current coworker, a girl, had been here for over a year now. She's learned how to program and run the machines, operate the bridge saw, move and unload slabs and lift more than any of the men I've trained could. She also wants to learn. The sad thing is I had to convince my boss, an old asian man, to hire her he wasn't going to because she was a woman. I explained to him my experiences over the years and he was willing to give her a chance. His attitude towards her over the year she's been here's changed drastically. I don't know if it's changed his view on women in general, but since then he's stopped immediately turning down women day labourers that come in to help the installers so maybe.

The biggest problem I found trying to train men was they refused to do basic boring tasks that needed to be done or complained the whole time they did them while at the same time were unwilling or unable to learn anything else.

These are just my experiences throughout my varied working life. I don't know how universally applicable they are but from what I've seen it really comes down to each individual and how suited they are for a particular job. The reality is there are some things some people will just never be able to do and it really has nothing to do with what gender a person is.

Israel offers quite extensive genetic prescreenings for prospective parents as part of its universal healthcare and not only for its Jewish population.

One primary reason for this is that many religious communities within Israel would no opt out for abortions even defects are detected during pregnancy that could adversely affect the fetus or the mother.

Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems to me that the solution is standardizing power cell size/shape, and simply swapping them out at stations loaded with pre-charged cells. It seems then you could use a lot more technology to recharge those cells in a single location with a huge power hookup (and cooling).
Indeed, kernel memory read seems more likely than address only read, the memory probably needs to be cached (in L1 maybe?). Attack is a timing attack as can be seen in this very interesting tweet - https://twitter.com/brainsmoke/status/948561799875502080
That didn't sound like a criticism, but a statement of the obvious: corporations are legally obligated to do anything they legally can to generate more money.

My takeaway from that comment was, to expect that behavior and ensure legislators write and enact laws that establish effective corporate governance.
Some people think it was due to the tax code changes.
Smart homes and smart phones would have definitely put a damper on many of my extracurricular activities as a teenager ... house parties, sneaking out, saying I was in one place while actually in another, etc.
A good rule of thumb is that if you think you've discovered a loophole that would allow insider trading, and it only took you a few moments of thinking, the SEC thought of it already.
Last I checked Amazon AWS has a virtual processor metric not actual hardware metric. This is most noticeable in their lowest power instances which don't get a full modern CPU core.
Spotify is a European company, but in the US there are limits to the numbers of shareholders allowed in private companies. Something similar may apply here.
> Well you're entitled to your opinion but you should probably back it up with something more specific if you want to convince anyone else.

The only benefit of bytecode is to save compiling time. Nowadays, CPU becomes much faster than the time Java was invented, 20 years ago. So the benefit is weak now. Another promoted benefit of bytecode is compile-once-run-anywhere. However, I think this is a hoax. It is not special, for script languages code runs anywhere without compiling.
Whenever this phase of my career naturally comes to a close, I want to start a chili food truck. One of my bucket list items is to win a chili cook off, so I figured I'd connect that goal with a business itself. I don't know shit about running a food truck, but it seems that a chili truck could be simpler than other types because you don't have to make the food upon ordering, it's all cooked beforehand.

If what you want is not listed you can always just apply anyway, FB is always looking for new candidates. I don't have a specific position in mind, since now I personally am missing 1-2 Network Engineers to yell at, to get yelled back, to get things done and then go to the pub for pints.
The subway needs a case made for it? You'd think it would be obvious that NYC can't function at its current size without the subway. And that's even before you get into the benefits in terms of sustainability, transportation access for those who are less well off, real estate values, and all that jazz.
How about combining both? Maybe if you think long enough or work long enough in this kind of dog businesses, you'll see opportunities to apply tech to solve some problems. Easier said than done, though...
I say this half seriously: start a business helping people in IT make career transitions, as a career advisor/matchmaker with opportunities.

People with IT/IS backgrounds are usually quite broadly capable people, generally speaking.

Actually, I think enabling and giving all kinds of people space, support and ability to explore pivots and opportunities sounds kind of awesome.
Actually that bumpy coating was the prior state of the art, this is instead a diffusing filter like scotch tape, and specifically works by not focusing light.

I still sorely miss my GDM-5010PT monitor. It gave up the ghost in about 2006, losing the ability to display green. I didn't bother to service it and I'm kicking myself because it was a reasonable repair.

That said, it really was a boat anchor as far as weight goes.
Society is sick, let's face it, and technology is largely to blame. We just can't see the danger in technology so long as we're blinded by everything shiny. Human beings are primarily social beings and no, that does not mean peering at each other through the alienating window of a mobile phone screen.

In 1969, at the age of 9, I could be left to play with my friends and wander several miles from home without any sense of danger. Days were occupied with spports or just hanging out then reading and TV in the evening. There was balance because we had less technology. The ageing mill towns of East Lancashire, UK, still enjoyed a culture of trust and respect for your neighbours such that you could leave your front door open without fear of theft. Parents stressd "playing out" and being "out of the house" but it didn't stop kids from achieving academically.

The thought of hiding in my room and hardly ever seeing my friends face-to-face would have been soul-destroying. Chess, games, cricket and football was life itself in my teens up to about 15 when the music scene and girls became the main fascination. These were all social activities and I can't imagine those glorious teenage years spent hidden in my room staring at a phone screen as a substitute for real human contact. It's unthinkable.
> That didn't sound like a criticism, but a statement of the obvious: corporations are legally obligated to do anything they legally can to generate more money.

This isn’t a “statement of the obvious”, it’s a somewhat popular misinterpretation of the fiduciary duty owed by a corporation to that corporation’s shareholders.

EDIBLE CUBAN CIGARS|JAZZGIR REVIEW BY TONIQUE CAMPBELL
As long as the patch is all anyone notices then it looks great from AMD marketing. But I'm fairly confident (and a quick browse through the patched in the latest RC confirms at least one instance of this) where comments call out that AMD CPUs do things that should be considered bugs, so there's probably not going to be a lot of PR people telling the masses to read the source code. It's not exactly flattering to anyone.

One thing I can definitely respect about the kernel developers is that they don't seem to make any effort to be nice about the fact that they need to deal with undocumented nonsense from vendors all round.
The Bolt is EPA rated at 238 miles but on a long highway trip with not-terrible-weather it's trivial to drive and get 300 miles of range without resorting to hypermilling. A Level 2 charger would cover the 36 mile gap.

You'd expect to use a mix of DC chargers and Level 2 chargers. I think it's doable in both cars but I'd personally never take that trip in either of them. I don't know how often people are doing LA to NY trips that they'd ever decide between cars over their ability to do that vs just renting a car (or flying).
Are you offering a license for other people to profit of you work without any exchange? If so please put it in writing and attach it to all your work.
I wrote and used a minimalistic one to save me time: plain e-mails to people with "[t]" in the subject got put in a database, recipients got modified e-mails with URLs to a web interface in the body (in addition to the original e-mail). When the task was completed, you only needed to click on one link in the web interface (or in the e-mail) and the original sender would get a confirmation by e-mail (i.e. you didn't need to write that e-mail yourself). The web interface provided an overview of open tickets and statistics. Later, comments, re-assigning tickets, priorities and other stuff was added.

This was used for > 10 years (for a few 10000 tickets) AFAIR until it got replaced by Jira. It worked well and was accepted (or so it seemed) because it didn't really interfere with the typical way of doing things till then (e-mails) and offered minimalistic features on top.
>I don't understand how they suddenly became tougher, just by stepping on a boat.

Stepping on that boat was risk taking. I think they'd teach their children those same values.

But I think the bigger difference in US v. European culture is that inside America there was no landed gentry. The Northeast had some "society," but for long streches of American history anyone could go buy land for cheap and farm.

Without an intrenched gentry and an intrenched lower class, American class has always been more mobile. There were certainly rich and poor, but poor enterprising people could get land much cheaper by moving west.

Industrialization changed that, but by that time American culture was already distinct. Plus, America was richer than than Europe during the 20th century. Our middle class had it pretty good.

Canada is more like American culture than British.
This implies that ARM vendors do less validation. I guess ARM is just so much simpler that good enough validation can be done faster. So essentially this is payback time for Intel for keeping compatibility with older code and simpler to program architecture (stricter cache coherence etc.). It is like one can only have 2 of cheap, reliable, easy-to-program.
> There must have been quite a lot of prehistoric humans who died, or otherwise suffered reproductive failure, because they lacked eyebrows

A bit pedantic, but: there doesn't need to be a direct line between a morphological feature, like eyebrows, and death and/or inability to reproduce. Evolution is a statistical process that operates over an entire population of organisms. So, a feature like eyebrows can evolve even if they have a relatively minor impact on organisms with eyebrows, like, say, by making them 3% better at hunting or whatever. Because if you have a population of thousands or millions of organisms, that 3% hunting advantage will make a difference.

This is a high visibility role that will be groomed to be a Director, so will need to sit at our San Francisco headquarters.
Here is a link to the actual paper: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

They recommend 4,000 IUs of vitamin D as the maximum safe dose, not because higher doses were found to be less helpful but because 4,000 was the most helpful and also the highest amount they actually tested. It is possible (but untested) that 6,000 and 8,000 IUs could have been even better.

However, it does appear that at 16 weeks both the groups getting 2,000 and 4,000 IUs of vitamin D leveled out at the same blood serum level of vitamin D.

How I Got My First Thousand Dollar Consulting Day
I don't understand this attitude that "top brass might not know about it". He's the CEO, isn't his entire job to know what's going on in the company? I know we get this idea that rich people just sit back and take in the money, but isn't the reason they are paid so much in the first place because they have in theory a big responsibility on what happens in the company?

Yes, this is very interesting.

I wish I could upvote you more so you get a boost but I don't think I can.

So after you went over the parts, you had to come up with labels and branding and packaging. Was the manufacturer able to do all that for you? And this was included in the $11k/2000 = $5.5/unit?

Did you hire someone on upwork to do the packaging?

Dedicated IP Address vs. Shared IP Address (Debunking Myths)
I think it's rational for people to not have trust or belief given our society as it is. So I think we should address the root causes of economic insecurity structurally rather than cheerleading people who have no reason to feel secure.

Empty cheerleading gives us no-doc jumbo loans at sub-prime rates... until the music stops and bad debts are revealed as the bad debts they are.
My parents wouldn't let me go _anywhere_ by myself until I was at least 17.

My father used to range all around Seoul as a grade school aged kid. I used to wander 2 miles out in the woods with my friends and my sister at that age in the middle of winter. A coworker of mine used to range even farther at that age. We had lots of time practicing looking after ourselves and being independent.

I remember facilitating a class with grade school aged kids, where the kids were given stations of a "starship." What would you expect a boy to do if given the weapons station of a starship? Blow something up? At least press some buttons? No, this boy just sat there meekly awaiting instruction.

Something is deeply wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TnwC29_oyI

I have no comment on their actual business, just that I don't see them not selling shares as a negative signaling issue.

People would make the same arguments regardless of whether they were selling stock or not.
