Problem is, most companies that need a lot of power only care about one thing - peak performance. And they tune it carefully in order to not overspend while guaranteeing minimal downtime. This means that they'll have to pretty much scale their infrastructure up by exactly 30%. That's a LOT for these big clients.

Honestly, I'd just make sure the server firewalls are super tight and not take in the future patches. At least for now.
I'm really glad to see a public option. I still want companies to have the option to compete, but a public option, IMO, is the best bet against the monopolies.
since any KEXT that’s writable by the user is a huge security risk

Not I disagree, but this is somewhat mitigated because macOS only loads signed kexts by default. I think removal is the larger threat. E.g. if I installed Little Snitch, I don't want other software to be able to remove its kext (though I guess the remainder of Little Snitch is not protected by Little Snitch anyway).

I never said "wife", but I did say you were free to assume.

You are correct. My error.

But I see zero justification for you starting with a venomous comment and coming back now with a high handed comment that places all the blame here on other people, their prejudices and their propensity for ad hominems.

For the record: There was zero intent to attack you. I was doing my best to be understanding in the face of a really ugly remark. Sometimes when I do that, it goes very well. Sometimes, like now, it does not.

And I will make a mental note of this incident and try to keep it in mind should I run into you again on the forum. This has been an entirely unpleasant experience for me.
This was written by an external marketing person that was asked by HPE to write articles that position HPE in a certain way. This gentleman has written about:

- salary rises
- IoT basics

in articles "how to / pitfalls", "how and how not to", "30+ conferences", "7 tips". I'm a bit puzzled they employing others to do this type of positioning. Blogs were once about speaking with your voice. Dave and Hewlett were hands on and straight. As an ex HPL I don't want to think what they would say about this.
And if you accept the raise you have just proven you are not loyal and will be first up when cutbacks occur. This is terrible advice
Microparticles of plastic in fish, in most cases, come from the water exiting a water treatment plant that is entering the environment. Some of these microparticles are manufactured, often in beauty or cleanser products, others are the result of plastics breaking down.

While tap water may contain these microparticles of plastic, there's no reason to believe that water out in the wild will be free of them.

How does a user send a file of arbitrary type through Signal?

Is it true that PGP has uses that do not overlap with Signal?
If no, then please ignore the rest of this comment.

Is it true that a block cipher has uses that do not overlap with a stream cipher?

Signing and verfiying files.1

Encrypting files.

From what I have read, Signal is concerned with messaging. But there is more to PGP than just messaging. Files that need to be signed/verified or encrypted do not necessarily always have to be sent to or received from others.

The blog post singles out one particular use of PGP, i.e. email, and complains about one implementation of PGP: GPG. Maybe the GPG software is not user friendly. Maybe PGP email is hopelessly complex. It is easy to make those arguments. Many have done it before.

However PGP encryption, in the general sense, not when used for email and not necessarily as implemented by the GPG software, can still be useful.

Files can still be useful, even when not in the context of the "messaging" business, Twitter subsidiaries, Facebook subsidiaries, advertising, smartphones, etc.

1 I prefer ed25519 for signing and verifying files but perhaps there are advantages to PGP I am not aware of.

This isn't true. I use spotify and I don't even have facebook, and I don't have any limits
Isn’t the obvious answer for Spotify to start generating their own content and become a label? Aka, the Netflix model. In fact, I’d be stunned if this wasn’t mentioned in their S-1.
Any chance you remember what the phrase was? or the episode?
This is true, but if you've already found a better offer with more money and you actually want to make the move, shouldn't you just make the move? Counter-offers seem... too late in the process.

Why did the company not pay you that to begin with? Why are they countering now, only after you got the new number? Do you really want to work for a company that undervalues you?

The answer might be "yes I love the tech and the mission so this lever is just what I needed" but I think you'll also find the underlying questions problematic.
Longmont, CO also has municipal (gigabit) broadband. At the first attempt, telecoms spent $200,000 to stifle the measure. In 2011 it was tried again, and despite $400,000 in spending by telecoms the measure passed. [0]

Now in Fort Collins, the cable lobby outspent the city $900,000 to $15,000 on campaigning and still lost. [TFA]

I wonder if anti-municipal campaign spending by the telecoms will continue to increase, and just how far they will go before cutting their losses and trying to defeat these plans some other way.

> There is a good reason why medicine is conservative

Let's be honest, medicine is not just conservative for this reason. It's also because of inertia, politics, economics, stereotypes, and the fact people don't want to take the blame if the new thing fail. But also because of resources and human limitation.

I had an example recently in my life. I got malaria years ago because I lived in Mali. The medias, all my friends, family and doctors told me 2 things:

- you gotta take your anti malaria pills (nivaquine, lariam, malarone...) for the whole trip cause there is no curative treatment for malaria

- if you get malaria, it's for life

And surely, when I got back home with the parasite, I got hit with a malaria episode from time to time, to remind me it was here. Not funny.

7 years later, I end up having diner with a scientist from the Pasteur Institute in Paris (pretty much the biology equivalent of NASA, but in France). He calmly explained to me that actually you don't have to take your pills for the whole trip. Malarone is a curative drug, and you can just take it when the first symptoms appear. Also, I don't have to keep having malaria episodes for life: they have protocols, again based on simple Malarone, that can get rid of the little bugger.

I took the number of a colleague of his, a tropical disease specialist, and went to the institute. Surprise, everything is true. There is no mystery. No secret.

The information is just there. Scientifically robust. And yet it doesn't reach you.

So now you gotta wonder: what are the other thousands missing informations or misinformations you get every day in medicine ?

And remember how many food facts fad you lived through. Remember that companies spent a lot of money for stuff like "carots are good for sight", "drink milk to grow up", etc. Remember that red meat is considered "Group 1, carcinogenic to humans" by WHO and nobody is talking about it. Remember that it took decades between asbestos being marked as deadly and any move to forbid it.

We need to keep a healthy criticism about medicine. Doctors, after all, are only human.
That's an extremely fatalistic attitude, and I don't think it is true either. The problem with most parents is that they don't take the time to see the bigger picture, to reflect on their methods and to evaluate their results. Instead, it's mostly a series of ad hoc decisions that are more often than not driven by their own worst impulses. In fact, this is the same way many people handle their own lives, too.

Raising a child should be a seen as sort of project. You need to figure out what they need to learn while they grow, and then you need to figure out ways of teaching it to them. Of course, you will probably have to adjust your plan along the way, and you yourself will have to learn how to do this properly. But if you view things from the end, it is easy to see why "helicopter" parenting is harmful and will likely result adults who are incapable of managing their own lives once the time comes

A pub or inn in British usage tends to have quiet or no music, and enough seats for people to sit. They're the original board games café: you'll probably find darts or a similar game, and at the quieter ones copies of Scrabble, chess, draughts or packs of cards.

The bug affects transistions into kernel mode. Virtual machines have one extra transistion. A read() call in the guest calls the guest OS which calls the host OS.
Presumably, by visiting an agreed service center in your western, sue-happy country, or sending the computer to the nearest one on your expense in the rest of the world. If the CPU is not replaceable or no longer in service, you would get a voucher for the lost value of the CPU/computer that is now 30% slower. Something like 10-20$ for anything older than 3 years, so most people won't bother. If Apple can do it, surely Intel will manage, but it will cost them in the billion order of magnitude, a non-negligible fraction of their yearly profit.

Why? LineageOS plus F-Droid with Firefox, OsmAnd~ and Conversations is surprisingly usable.

I agree it could get a bit more polish. But if Eelo is going to be a big effort, maybe he should try to go for a full Linux distro like Jolla sans the closed components. With stuff like Anbox (Android containers) it should be moderately easy to bootstrap an ecosystem.
I'm 20 and I have my experience to share too.

My parents didn't really limit me going out. In fact, they encouraged it. But I found the internet to be way more fascinating compared to my friends. I did have friends and a 'normal' life, but I was an introvert by any measure. I had people to hang out with at school and places to hang out with friends after, but I never wanted to go out and goof off. I want to say it isn't so black and white.

That said, I do find kids' exposure to electronics reaching an alarming point these days. Parents I feel just tend to plop an iPad infront of them all day which keeps them entertained to no end. They are extremely hyperactive since those games require them to be but teaching nothing of value. I can't say that's definitely bad, but it is scary. Maybe that's what a generation before me thought about me, so who am I to say?

If I may give advice, I would suggest you limit access to games and especially ads. Ads definitely have an effect on kids and is the very first media they see that is designed to manipulate them.

Next, maybe download some fun but informative videos from YouTube? (Don't ever give them free access to youtube, trust me. Really). YouTube Kids from what I've seen is trash and has nothing better than subpar cartoons. There are interesting things I feel could keep them entertained but also benefit them.

When you take away access to something, make sure they have something to do that they find interesting. Not just you. A big mistake I think parents make. Encyclopedias aren't so fascinating in comparison to the entirety of the internet, and we just feel robbed of fun. Talk to them.

There are people looking to deploy ARM servers now. However I wish there had been more server competition. Many companies write their backend services in Python, JVM (Java/Scala/Groovy), Ruby, etc. Stuff that would run fine on Power, ARM or other architectures. There are very few specialized libraries that really require x86_64 (like ffmpeg and video-transcoding)
When you swapped keys, did you send them your private key or your public key?
I’m from Eastern Europe but my doctor recommended me vitamin D via fish oil as child in early nineties. So I don’t think vitamin D supplement recommendations are a novelty. I think they go back decades at least in former eastern block countries. Therefor I think there must be studies showing benefit from at least 70s or 80s of not before that otherwise doctors would not be recommending it in early nineties.

They don't.

Apple, Google, and Amazon can afford to lose money all day long on the music streaming services that they each offer. This is because the services bolster their broader ecosystem of services and products whose aggregate value is far greater than any individual piece on it's own.

That's why Spotify is in a precarious position because streaming is it's only bread and butter.

Similar to UberEats + Uber versus a standalone service like DoorDash or Postmates. Uber doesn't need to make money on UberEats in order to be a successful business. Postmates does and that's a huge problem because delivery is a brutal business.
If local governments are the future of ISP services, I'm not sure we'll have made much progress at all on the anti-monopoly front.
The Dreamcast ran a version of Windows CE. It's kind of a recurring pattern - you partner with Microsoft, they learn from you, help you design just the perfect API for your use case, then they launch either a competitor or something that allows their licensees to compete against you.

At the time we called it a bacon and eggs partnership where they are the chicken and you are the pig.
So here in Maryland, the state and county governments are building a fiber network to plug gaps in the state's coverage (most populated areas of the state have competition between fiber and high-speed cable). It's a great idea. That said, requirements like these make me nervous:

> > The city intends to provide gigabit service for $70 a month or less and a cheaper Internet tier. Underground wiring for improved reliability and "universal coverage" are two of the key goals listed in the measure.

> Building a citywide network is a lengthy process—the city says its goal is to be done in "less than five years."

Contrast with how Stockholm built its network: https://www.stokab.se/Documents/Stockholms%20Stokab%20-%20A%.... A company was created by the city to own the dark fiber. The company was not given any build-out directive, and it took 18 years to cover 90% of the city, building out in a demand-driven fashion. The upside is that the approach is sustainable. Stockholm's utility has never received public money, isn't subsidized by a utility monopoly, and operates at a profit. It doesn't depend on changing political moods or public priorities.

Freedom from the municipal government is a big advantage. Look at what's happening right now with DC's and New York's subway systems. Once very good, they've been overcome by public-sector mismanagement, and are facing enormous maintenance and upgrade backlogs. The fact that this is run by the power company isn't all that comforting. Municipal governments have enormous influence over local power companies, and our electrical grid is in pretty poor shape too.

>So you’re saying that the latest RCS, without the patch, was supposed to be slower than stable by at least 10%?

I'm saying that it's not a reliable measurement of the impact of the PTI patchset. There was a PgSQL performance anecdote [0] (actually tested with the real boot parameters instead of entirely different versions of the kernel) that showed 9% performance decrease posted to LKML, which Linus described as "pretty much in line with expectations". [1]

Quoting further from that mail:

> Something around 5% performance impact of the isolation is what people are looking at.

> Obviously it depends on just exactly what you do. Some loads will hardly be affected at all, if they just spend all their time in user space. And if you do a lot of small system calls, you might see double-digit slowdowns.

So in general, the hit should be around 5%, and "[y]ou might see double-digit slowdowns" seems like the hit on a worst-case workload is hovering closer to the 10% range than 30%. That's also what the anecdote from LKML shows, unlike Phoronix which shows 25%-30% or worse.

This is more of an attrition thing than a staggering loss. With people saying MS patched this in November, it would be interesting to see if people saw a similar 5-10% degradation in Windows benchmarks since that time.

>How often do companies release performance downgrades of that scale?

I don't know which "company" you're referring to here, but substantial changes in kernel performance characteristics are pretty common during the Linux development/RC process, and yes, definitely some workloads will often see changes +/- 10% between the roughly bi-monthly stable kernel releases.

If you're surprised that Linux development is so "lively", you're not alone. That's one of the selling points of other OSes like FreeBSD.

I’m a little sad you got downvotes. Although a slightly better approach might have been, it’s a raw business license. 100% natural and regulation free.

It’s easy to attack snake oil. The meta reference is a bit more amusing, because it has a recursive flavor. It also directly attacks the ethics of the business itself.
Could I not restate your comment as "Ignore the measurable stats, my anecdotal experience suggests a lack of empathy?"

In my experience, those who are most empathetic are generous in spirit, which would include not necessarily revealing to you that they are very religious, as well as in generosity toward those in need.

Proper supplementation (read: not what is currently recommended) of Vitamin D was found to reduce all-mortality causes (including cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, etc) by as much as 50%-70%. To get to that level of 40-50 ng/ml 25(OH)D, you need around 8,000-12,000 IU per day (depending on body mass).

It was also found to reduce flu occurences by as much as 70%. This is starting to look like a super important vitamin, even for "healthy individuals that work outside" - let alone everyone else that stays all-day indoors.

It also seems to have a huge effect on sleeping well, as it's apparently what the body needs to repair itself properly at night.

I highly recommend these videos:
