Humans aren't feral, their patterns of behavior are dictated by culture, education, etc, regardless of "impulses". People may have impulses to hurt or steal from others, but those impulses can be controlled and the impacts of those impulses can be diminished on society. Socio-cultural norms and education teach people that there are other ways to get what you want than theft, for example, and provide strong discouragement against engaging in such "anti-social" behavior. On top of that there are legal proscriptions against such behavior. All of this adds together to massively reduce the level of murder, rape, and theft in civilized humans vs. hypothetical feral human populations.

And the same dynamics can occur with individuals hurling abuse online. Those individuals could experience consequences for their actions (from twitter, valve, potentially the criminal justice system in some cases, etc.) from institutions as well as from society as a whole. Telling a game developer "I will rape you!" should be an action that dramatically curtails the perpetrators career options and results in losing friends, but today it doesn't.

Sure, people hold dark impulses inside them routinely, everyone understands that. That doesn't mean they are uncontrollable. This is a recent phenomenon, which itself is proof enough that it is not due to some uncontrollable universal urge.
I tried this and have the driver installed and the Get-SpeculationControlSettings Powershell module reports hardware support now. But I can't get windows to enable support, I've tried setting the registry keys in the referenced KB article https://support.microsoft.com/help/4073119

I suspect that the driver loads to late, that windows has already done it's check to enable support before the driver loads the microcode update and I can't find anything about re-running the check or anyway to load the driver before that check.

Casually calling contractors employees to the press seems like a decent way to open yourself up to a employment status lawsuits.
Part of it might also be which specific game you worked on. The recent battlefront fracas came about because it was a first person shooter, a genre where people are unaccustomed to being psyops'd by the devs, and thus had a fresh and untapped supply of outrage.

Meanwhile looking at your portfolio, Star Wars™ Galaxy of Heroes looks from a distance like your average mobile gacha thing created only to tick another checkbox on the spreadsheet of tie-ins. Just reading the google play store description i end up thinking i would be surprised if its f2p parts weren't horribly abusive.

(Note i'm not saying they are, but what your marketing department did makes it stand out from its brethren in no particular way.)
I can see the Dem machine in action now. If Oprah were to run, they would run her out of town. I think they are afraid of her because she'd provide a weak candidate against Trump. I have read a few are actually wishfully hoping H runs again. But who do the Dems even have? I mean Warren is a bit too left for most Americans. Bernie, I don't think he'll go another go after they threw him under the bus like that.
This is so suspicious it's comical. Just when it seems like Google has been humiliated by the embarrassing screenshots in Damore's lawsuit, a mysterious new document, from the summer of 2015 to 2016, never-before-released until right now, showing Google's top brass handle controversy over diversity smoothly and professionally. No bickering, no cursing, no hostile workplace. No booing of White males, no anti-Trump memes, no antifa recruitment, no "sexually identifying as a wingless dragonkin." Just the professionalism of Google.
And who discovered this document that totally vindicates Google and refutes Damore's lawsuit?
Why, it's Gizmodo! The very same people who originally leaked Damore's memo (out of context, with all of the sources removed) kicking off all of the outrage and accusations of sexism against him in the first place.

I highly doubt this, given how much hardware they appear have lying around to throw at the Linux 0day Test Bot (which does full kernel compiles, boots, and integration tests for dozens of hardware configurations for every patch sent to most LKML lists).
This might sound silly, but working in these content moderation jobs must be painful -- dealing with a lot of constant negativity if not abuse, etc.

In some ways, moderating all the good content might give you a break.. I imagine they probably won't cross with other such jobs though.

As a society, online really seems to bring out some of the worst in people; and I figure there is not a set of valued peers around you to try and influence your behaviour for the better.
I actually know that word in the compiler meaning, I think I just never got the connection, because I was pronouncing it in my head as ret-poh-line, not ret-poh-leen.

I don't think they're like insurance companies at all. Cloud companies don't generate a big investable float based on a very low initial cost of the service provisioning. Quite the opposite, cloud companies have substantial pre-existing costs related to being able to provide the cloud services to each customer (including being able to do it at immense scale as necessary). That cost remains considerable and on-going at all times during the service providing period generally speaking. For insurance companies, the cost for a given policy is extremely low until a claim arrives.

To be like insurance companies, this is how their cloud business would have to work: you pay them $20,000 over ten years while receiving absolutely nothing tangible in return, until one day, ten years in, you need to utilize $25,000 in cloud services in a short burst. Then afterward, your bill goes up significantly, while as an industry they reduce what you get for that.

Beside that, there are exceptionally few things the little guy stands a chance at when competing head-on with a giant. The giant benefits from bargaining power at scale that is usually rather dramatic on most everything.

Eg Diapers.com was a well funded, well run ecommerce start-up. Amazon was going to destroy their business through scale leverage - applying plausibly anti-competitive below-cost tactics on core products like diapers - to put them under if they didn't agree to be acquired (Amazon had already begun applying that tactic in the lead-up to the acquisition, scaring the hell out of Diapers.com).
Angular and react are used by more devs than Vue.

also keep in mind that Angular is complex enough to warrant 10x more questions. and React community, has done a lot of RnD in areas like flux, graphql, cssInJs etc. hence they too would have more questions.

Thank you for watching the talks! :D

Luckily its not quite as you interpreted:

The L1$D is accessed in parallel with the PLB. Both at top-level caches - one for data, one for protection.

If there is a PLB miss we have no cache-visible side-effects until the protection has been resolved.

The paper we're preparing will cover this in detail, because as you can see, the talks are a bit light on exactly what happens in what order when here.

I assume the Costco they mentioned in passing still has the nation wide 1.50 hot dog and soda deal and Costco is a lot better place for workers in terms of wages and benefits over Subway. Did the writer forget this detail or did he drop it because it didn't match his narrative?

Modern process isolation is not flawless, therefore it is not modern process isolation.
And it's a bit odd. IIRC, when Bush won, it was the same. I mean, I had hoped he'd lose, but I wasn't about to run just cuz.

Beside, when was the last time a conservative said, dammit, Bill won, or Obama won, I'm off to [some country]. It's mostly Dems who almost never actually go through with it. Sure, you get a very small trickle but nothing like they promise.

When you try to emulate a college environment and change work from a job to a lifestyle this seems to be what happens. People want to change their environment to reflect their values. Engineers especially. Both this guy and Damore seem to have sincerely good intentions, and if Google really was a college campus, their discussions might work but they're just incompatible with the reality of a workplace as-is.
> hated recruiters

My impression is "recruiters" has become a sink term for anyone one is facing during the recruitment process (various recruiters, agencies, POs, PMs, HR, CTOs, teasing puzzle smartasses, whatnot). In fact my personal experience with HR departments is rather good, and my attitude towards real recruiters is neutral at worst.
Idea is fantastic, it is not quite new, but still great, however implementation is very flawed. One site is where I am loging in, other is where I am entering code, email with code arrives from third site. This is just bad to do like this.

> Just curious, if it comes to Trump v Oprah 2020, how many of you currently in America would consider starting or joining a venture outside the US?

Talk about a miserable situation.

But no, I would much more quickly join a third party initiative (I voted third party in this last election), because I do think the fundamental underpinnings of our government are hard to beat, even if that means dealing with cranks and morons being able to elect the same.

I do fear our democracy turning into a greater circus than it already is, but I also generally trust the wisdom of the crowd for the end result (though definitely do not trust the crowd for philosophical, moral or intellectual opinions).

I feel like the current status is more a bug that we might be able to cure, but I wouldn't want to abandon the entire system because of that bug.
The News Feed algorithm is a plague for everyone who is not Facebook or its shareholders. Who knows if I will see something written by a "friend"? Who knows if "friends" will see something I write?

Choice quote, “Sadly, the consequences of high minimum wages, excessive taxation, and mandate-happy public policy are not limited to the death of cheap sandwiches.”

I know, right? Isn't it just awful that the working poor might get a decent living wage and decent public services. It's enough to make you puke. /s

The blog is aptly titled: "Hit & Run"
Seriously. "the consequences of high minimum wages, excessive taxation, and mandate-happy public policy are not limited to the death of cheap sandwiches." No leap to conclusions about causality there. Nope. Can't possibly be that greedy bastards simply used this policy change as an excuse to make a statement.
> Nothing says I control the domain like the ability to add and remove data from the authoritative DNS servers for the domain label (and children thereof) in question.

Unfortunately this makes life difficult for us.

We run a whitelabelled platform with tens of thousands of users - it's hard enough to get many people to understand setting a CNAME record (vs just setting an A record).
Requiring them to update a TXT record once would be a big enough challenge, but doing it every 30-90 days is never going to happen. The smaller customers would probably be happy with us hosting their DNS, but we're not going to do that - the larger ones wouldn't.

TLS-SNI being gone and DNS being unworkable means we're left with HTTP only.
Urea/diesel hybrids would be fun, since every modern engine has to use urea for SCR anyway.

It's definitely the most powerful. No one else is even close in raw military power.

Yes in world terms he's clearly very powerful. Compared to the rest of the world a single US aircraft carrier or ballistic missile submarine captain is more powerful than most world leaders.

But his power is very limited. Congress can remove him, they can even completely defund the military if they wanted to.

I agree with your post, but:

> The American political system for all its faults, is pretty good

It just isn't. The American political system is one of the core reasons why the country is so divided. Why Trump got elected at all, despite being supported by the minority. Why people are now talking about Oprah running.

The American political system was broken before Trump. The current president is one of the gross symptoms of a much more insidious disease; one of the roots of that disease is in fact, that political system.

Of course, it's not some tv star that'll fix it when it benefits them. In fact, statistically it's unlikely you'll find a president (who got elected, ergo benefited from the system) who will change that.
If you’re interested in this story, Google for “Tim Horton’s minimum wage Ontario” and you’ll find plenty of similar coverage, and not just Timmies... A few weeks ago, minimum wage was CA$11.60 an hour in Ontario, it’s now $14 an hour, and will increase to $15 in 2019. But most chain stores haven’t raised prices, so you get conflict, and where there’s conflict, there’s no end to the news coverage...
It is more that without centralized servers, if that's what you mean, you have a lot of ux disadvantages.
Raj Chetty on ‘The Lost Einsteins’
Incorrect, you're confusing different findings that are totally different areas of research merely because they have "water" in common.

We have long known that there is tons of frozen water on Mars outside of the poles. Through many individual discoveries we've learned about shallow subsurface permafrost over much of Mars; we've learned of a long history of sizable quantities of liquid water on Mars; and we've learned of subsurface glaciers of very ice that are almost entirely water ice by volume. The brines research is still an open question, as in all scientific research there is a back and forth between different interpretations of the given data, it's quite possible it will ultimately not shake out as a valid interpretation (but it's also a bit much to say that the brine theory has been "discredited" merely because an argument was made against it). Regardless, the existence of subsurface glaciers, of which this is an extension of, is a far less controversial result. We know Mars has subsurface water ice, we know some of that is in the form of glaciers, these are merely certain examples of those glaciers that are significantly exposed to the surface.
> We're talking here about abuse, not constructive criticism.

Some F2P is really good and improves the product. (Warframe) That's the exception however and most of it is in fact abusive. As such people upset about it don't expect constructive criticism to get anywhere and engage in behavior that amounts to, in their view, "eye for an eye".
> do you want to get food, water, and shelter

There we go, in response to your answer about where does it stop. Apparently you also think water is super important.
Not saying it’s a trend that everybody should copy, but acceptance/rejection factor for Model 3 design will vary significantly depending on what the person drove previously.

The position Google and other company leaders are in should not be tough at all.

Google's VP was right when he said, "Google is not a debate club or a philosophy class. We are a workplace and we have an obligation to make sure our discussions remain respectful. Debates around topics like product excellence can support a wide variety of viewpoints and are great to have. I don’t think the same can be said for debates around sensitive issues such as gender, religion, race, or sexual orientation."

If Google's in a tough spot, it's because their leadership is too passively "respectfully asking that everyone stop engaging on this [debate] thread," when they should be more assertive; e.g. like simply informing Googlers that the counterproductive behavior will no longer be tolerated.

What's most disturbing to me about this situation at Google is that these adult professionals––the creme of the creme of the crop, right?--whether they're progressives, conservatives, SJWs, liberals, libertarians, librarians, or whatever, can't seem to respect one another, and conduct themselves at work without descending into polarizing debate which is clearly interfering with business operations.

Google's situation is also reflective of the country's current cultural crisis.

It's so poignantly ironic that in the midst of this ongoing (unending) cultural debate we're having--about equality, diversity, inclusivity, "social justice," in which everyone is so relentlessly (and not so subtly) implying what good people they are--the apparent result of it all is that we're more divided as a nation than we've been in half a century.

"The net outcome: In 2016, the 'higher' minimum wage actually lowered low-wage workers' earnings by an average of $125 a month."

No, it turned some of the low-wage workers into higher-wage workers, leaving not as many low-wage workers and therefore less total work done and money earned by low-wage workers. Which was the goal.

Now if the goal of raising the minimum wage were to ensure wages were low, you're right, it's a disaster!

Uhm, what a mess. This, just when Linux vendors began pushing updated intel-microcode packages (Ubuntu just released intel-microcode 3.20180108.0). Should we put the update on hold until this issue is hopefully resolved, or should we still update as suggested in the last paragraph of this Intel press release, somehow believing that the random reboots don't apply to "end users"?
But if you're a web post with 10k+ users, what's the problem with the HTTP-01 challenge?

You just allow .well-known/* to be passed on to reflect the challenge responses you've generated for the client, while 301 redirecting everything else to their https:// site.

I'm confused how that would be harder for a web host at that scale?

EDIT: I get people trying to run a server off their cable modem / rtr public IP, and 80 might be taken by something other than the target the port forward for 443 is going to -- and that's a problem for those use cases -- but that kind of concern wouldn't exist in a significant hosting infrastructure.
