For AMD chips, yes. Yesterday Microsoft announced they were suspending rolling out updates to certain AMD chips because it was resulting in non-bootable systems. I didn't read the technical details so I can not say whether it was specifically BIOS-related. Both a total non-booting state and BSODs were mentioned in the article I saw (from general press, so might have been garbage, sorry).
Analytics lets you see statistics about how your own server's are using it (each user's total count of pageviews and searches).

Telemetry lets you see the telemetry data it sends to Sourcegraph (which you can disable in the site config and never contains code/paths/repo names or anything derived from them).
Obvious problem is you didn’t order pizza, you ordered Dominos, and your selection is limited to who ever signs a deal with Google or pays them off for top billing.

Correcting that means now you’re arguing with Google/Alexa/Siri, which is an infuriating experience.
I thought the number of miners is supposed to be equal to the expected value of the coin. If there’s profit to be made, more miners would open up shop to capture the marginal benefit.

So I guess China thinks that bitcoin will ultimately be worth half what it is now.
I'd think it'd be reasonable to get a refund in some manner, provided you could provide proof-of-purchase for the CPU in question.

I wouldn't expect them to replace any CPU, unless it was manufactured recently and still being manufactured.

But a refund in some capacity? That's reasonable, I think. In the meantime, we would have to settle for the software fixes.
Not really.

The garden bridge was a terrible idea and in the wrong place. This is really quite a good idea and in a place that is at least defensible.

The article does mention the way the National Forest came into being. Perhaps that would be the model here too. This is another difference to the garden bridge: the luckless inhabitants of Lambeth were going to have to pony up for a bridge they would have to pay again to use...
I agree with your position entirely, save for the "and if a shared provider has this issue, they might..."

No one ever told the hosted service providers that they should explicitly guard for TLS SNI names unrelated to any name of the customers they host. That certainly doesn't follow from any obvious logic.

I don't believe that a service provider who has this susceptibility is necessarily any more likely to surface other threats.
And if you'd been speculatively executing the baby making pipelines...
Notably, this flaw is one of the big reasons why the War on Poverty, and socialism/UBI/etc. in general, disempowers the poor and the poorly-educated. Remember, Rome fell to tyranny in part because its citizens became willing to support anyone who would grant them more bread and circuses.

Why should we use this instead of the github search (for our private repos) ?
My observation is that all those destructive cult-like organization cannot laugh at themselves.

It cuts both ways, actually. In this, as in many things, there is a moderated middle path. There is a kind of rather derisive, malevolent kind of humor which is used by certain adherents to nihilist philosophies. If you look very closely, then you will see that they also "cannot laugh at themselves" -- but on the surface, it looks like they can.
I think that title is currently held (deserved or not) by null pointers.

Tbh it’s not the most meaningful of statements, but it’s food for thought.
I was really surprised to see that bit about London. It looks like Transport for London breaks out Underground usage, and that does recover over 100% (which is what ends up on the wikipedia page for farebox recovery), but the entire TfL system as a whole is around 60%.

> If Microsoft does something in the interest of their users it is suddenly "for marketing purposes"?

If Microsoft gave a shit about its users it wouldn't put key loggers in its products, explicitly state that spell check in your word documents is being done in the "cloud" and we are reading it, let you disable stupid cortona who is slurping up hell knows what, etc.

They are so obsessed with tracking you that if you surf their sites long enough you end up with a HTTP 400 - Bad Request (Request header too long) error message. I just pulled up MSDN look at the scroll bar on the right https://i.imgur.com/wlYqVIo.png.

No they don't care about users.
Adding a backdoor seems unreasonable but they may have chosen performance over security. Even if this individual bug wasn't intentional they are responsible for setting their priorities.
Yeah, profitability is declining https://fork.lol/reward/dari/btc but it could still be quite high. When no miners shut down around the last halving it was a sign that mining was nowhere near equilibrium.

This makes no sense economically, but it seems like the difficulty is controlled by how much equipment Bitmain decides to manufacture and the profitability is controlled by how much Bitmain decides to charge.
Dominos is by no means the best pizza I have ever had, but they have gotten much better in recent years. For a fast pizza, it isn't bad

When you have 100B surely, you can spare some to help. I understand that you need to be rewarded for creating a company that employs a lot of people but there has to be a time when you have to ask yourself, why would you want even more money at this point? I don't have a million, let alone a Billion and yet all I can think of when I imagine having this kind of money is how many lives I would be able to improve by giving some of it.
> It might actually have been better for the world to pay all the employees to not build that company.

The way you do this is to promote government regulation of the funding parties (banks, pharma, etc). Right now they can do what they want and essentially pay to have people lie for them.

That kind of stuff would not pass muster in the EU or China.
Something Entertaining in the IoT
Electricity prices are another example of something similar: they soar during peak hours, but government keeps the price flat during the day. If the price fluctuated, people would adjust their usage; but instead, a lot of games are played to go about smoothing demand, and they don't work well. The result is higher emissions and higher prices.

General carbon emissions are another example. The price burdened by society is higher than the privatized cost.

Imagine we had a system that automatically rewarded cyclists, or people who just take a cold shower--any of the millions of small things--for curbing pollution. Well, price signals in supply and demand are already such a system.

The problem with subsidies, public policy initiatives, and awareness campaigns is that they can't do as good of a job as simple supply and demand economics in organizing human behavior efficiently--for the same reasons why command and control economies don't work as well as market-based ones. Price signals work very well.

And besides this argument for economic efficiency, there is the argument that people's privatized incentives should be aligned with other's, if possible, and policy should reward or punish decisions which bear benefits or costs on society.

And if we want to help the poor, we should really just give them money to help cover their expenses rather than adopting bad economic policy just because it just so happens to be the one that is more kind to the poor. In other words, it's not necessary to bake a smaller pie just in order for us to be able to share it.
A null pointer doesn't hold a reference, though.
I mean honestly if you are happy with github search you should stay where you are.

Personally, I find it to be absolutely horrendous. It’s so much faster to clone the repo and search it locally.
Is this system of "API keys" why Pidgin doesn't handle all these new IM protocols, and why there's no other good old-fashioned multi-protocol clients for them (that I'm aware of)?
The other thing to keep in mind is that a similarly script-extensible Qt application carries the weight of Qt shared libraries, plus scripted wrapper shims. This can easily run 25-40 MB in Python-Qt systems, at which point 70 MB for Electron looks much less crazy.

(also a C++/Qt dev, jealously eyeing love preview, hot-reloading, and other niceties).
Wow not even mentioning difficulty. What a terribly researched article.
Yet another really big personal quadrotor-type drone. Its a lot like the eHang 184, from 2016.[1] That flies, but they don't trust it with a live passenger yet.

There's a difference between unintentional bugs, which it seems a bit harsh to call "badware", and actual malware or very sloppily written, low-value commercial software that recklessly behaves almost like malware.

Also, Android, as running on most commercially available phones, is not FOSS because it contains Google's proprietary extensions and probably hardware drivers/firmware as well.
I meant 99% of patrons aren't bothered by the music, if you were taking that differently. In that person's situation, apparently yes, they changed the music for him.
Yes, Sourcegraph supports GitLab repositories! Check out https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/server/config/repositorie... and the section right below for auth. You'll need to add and authenticate them one-by-one in the config. Soon we'll be add direct GitLab integration like we have for GitHub and GitHub Enterprise, which will sync all (or selected) repositories using the GitLab API.

The source code is not public for this version. I think that source-available but non-open-source licenses are an idea ahead of their time when applied to user-facing software like Sourcegraph. I hope that changes, and we'd love to make Sourcegraph source-available again, but it actually introduced (rather than eliminated) questions in the process of companies adopting Sourcegraph. I'll probably blog about this soon because it's something I care about a lot.
> They will often refuse to do a recall even if personal safety is at risk.

Ford Pinto, anyone...

Another one that many people don't know about is a problem with old 2-door Tahoes; a bracket on the driver's side seat likes to fail upon quick acceleration - such as when getting on the freeway, for instance.

One minute you're upright, pushing the pedal to get up to speed, the next - whoops! - flat on your back! If you're lucky, you live to tell the tale...

AFAIK, GM never issued a recall about that one (it caused me to pass on a really nice lifted 4wd Tahoe a few years back)...
Because building attractive UIs and doing graphical things is much easier on a web stack. Emacs can run in a terminal emulator, but as an editor in a development environment, that's not a use case I've ever had. I'd much rather be able to seamlessly plot some data with vega.js or slap together a quick UI for a tool, or be able to trivially inline images, animations, videos, PDFs, etc. without having to fiddle with native libs.
I hear you can get that at auto parts stores. It's right next to the blinker fluid.
If everyone waited a day or two before patching, this bug would simply be opened a day or two later than it was.
Be careful what you wish for. The Burger King at the NYS Thruway rest stop just north of NYC has one. Think McDonalds has them on Long Island, but I haven’t used one.

It’s awful — probably an order of magnitude more awful than dealing with a non-English speaking cashier. As with anything digital, it’s a sales funnel designed to trick you into ordering whatever their profit driver is. Have fun not buying a value meal.
About 17 years ago, the NHTSA had a public comment period about glare from headlamps. One response [1] was particularly informative.

The policies you're advocating for exist already.

European and Europeanized-country car taxes I know of (Danish, Israeli) do indeed apply at time of purchase - and are altered based on vehicle type. For example, Israeli car purchase taxes are 83% plus VAT, but only 30% for emissions-free vehicles; Denmark, meanwhile, has car registration taxes set at around 100% for cheap cars and 150% for more expensive cars, and varies the tax wildly to promote environmental efficiency and safety (originally EVs were completely exempt from this tax, although there's been talk about eliminating that exemption for budgetary reasons).

This burden is indeed not specific to new cars, but that's necessary to incentivize faster EOL of old equipment (see also the US "cash for clunkers" program, which addressed a similar policy goal); it is, though, completely upfront and extremely transparent to the consumer, and strongly impacts consumer investment decisions.
What sort of project would you like to see in the US?

Many national forests are larger than this project, we haven't managed to deforest the country (they have been logged and continue to be logged, but modern extraction is not especially aggressive(NIMBYs), and absent fires logging isn't all bad).
Just like with every forum, circle jerks reign supreme
I would like to see such a set of metrics designed with a more statistical approach. The Bechdel test offers a simple but general metric for deciding whether a woman has played a non-superficial role in a movie. I think generality should be maintained in future tests, with a goal for a tendency toward equality across the industry, rather than equality within individual movies.

Take the term '50 percent' for example. If at least 50 percent of characters in a film must be female, then the target average across all movie characters is a female majority. While I'm not against movies with a female majority cast, there are also other films I would like to see that may have a male majority cast for historical reasons, that may not be net-negative toward women. War movies, perhaps.

Perhaps metrics should have weightings relative to the value of a given position. Approximate equality across crew still has significant value even if the cast is all-male.

Alternatively, rather than defining a metric in terms of some arbitrary definition of 'equal' (which becomes increasingly difficult as you add more minorities), perhaps a more useful metric would be defined in terms of 'away from unequal'. The Bechdel test already does this for female cast. Similar things can be done for crew. Similar things can even be done for the story.
There's something close-but-not-quite-the-same: by default the grub menu is hidden with an instant timeout (IIRC) but if a boot fails to complete, on the subsequent boot the menu won't be hidden. Google 'recordfail' if you're interested in the details.
I own some byteball, rai, and iota. I like the high tps. But im not sure that no transaction cost is a positive. It makes it easy to spam the network to bring it down. Having some proof of work to guard against this seems inefficient and wasteful Why spend time burning electricity when you can just charge the same amount in transaction charges. A small but real transaction cost seems cleaner.

Correct! We think people would be surprised at how big some of these private communities are, and how many places look like them other than retirement communities.
No, it doesn't say scrape away. It says the scraping doesn't violate state computer crime statues (and the court has ruled similarly about Federal ones in the past). Oracle could still take actions other than gunning for a criminal prosecution.

A simple action they could have taken was to block the scraper, the EFF post makes it looks like they didn't do this. Presumably they asked for the prosecution in order to deter other scrapers, but they could have done that AND ALSO blocked this scraper.
Agree a Tiling window manager. Light weight too.
That's exactly what I would do.

It should be illegal for companies like Twitter to forbid this. Users should be free to access their data, and free to use any tool to do so. The revered network effect is anti consumer and it must be broken.

This is the one regulation that could save a nation from FB, Twitter, Instagram and their ilk. Any politician to run on this could shoot somebody in the middle of a crowded street without losing my support.
Sure, but they are only likely to pursue civil action if competitors scraped in a manner that resulted in meaningful losses, i.e by scraping a competitor's data in violation of the TOS and then selling or representing it as your own.

A few people circumventing paywalls isn't going to register on the legal radar.
> Does this mean that scraping is acceptable now, even if a site's TOS explicitly forbid it?

That...depends. It was a scraping case, but while the appeals court allowed the automated access that the lower court found violated various anti-hacking laws, it also let stand the copyright violation judgement for the actual use of the scraped content.

So, if content is protected by copyright, you don't have a license which covers your use, and no exception to copyright protection applies, that's still going to be a problem for scraping.
Thank you! We think so too.
Going to second this comment. I can't find any signs that this company has even been incorporated, which would be necessary for them to sign the contracts related to arranging terminal space, airplanes, etc.

Also of note: the first private terminal in the US opened at LAX in May 2017 and charges $2200/month for membership. The LAX regional terminal is AA only...There are a number of small terminals for regional airlines south of the main terminal which are already fully occupied for exclusive use of the renting regional airline. [edit: Imperial Terminal is available for this type of GA usage. It has no seats and is basically a hangar with space for portable chairs, and does not provide a TSA checkpoint.].

Looks like this is just intended to drum up interest.
Get Your Credit Cleaned by a Real Hacker
Get your credit cleaned with the help of a reliable hacker. He's tested and trusted. I had a very low credit score (around 520) and it was ruining my life. I needed help. I was very depressed because of it and had been trying to repair it but It just seems nothing was capable of getting my score raised quickly. I needed something done fast. I had read a lot of good things about this hacker online which gave me a go ahead to try him out. I almost gave up my search for a real hacker because I kept meeting fake hackers who are always after the money, I've been conned by them. Spy stealth is not about the money but about attaining a good reputation at always satisfying his customers. This is my way of showing appreciation for a job well done on my credit report. Reach out to him for help at spystealth-.-org-@-gmail-.-com. He's affordable and always at your service.
Of course it's not possible to show cause and effect between labor share and abstract 'automation'. Especially since not all automation is equal in this regard. Automation in some areas may increase labor share (accessible automation like PCs and washing machines) while others decrease it (expensive/in-accessible automation like assembly lines and machine learning). This means that automation could increase labor share one decade and decrease it the next as the types of automation change.

However, the argument for a current/recent causative link between the two is not a "preconceived notion" but rather a reasoned hypothesis arrived at based on observation of trends and application of logic to economic theories.

It is more reasonable to suppose that:

overall, automation has had a role reducing the labor share (which has been going down despite a couple of brief spikes in the 50s and 60s)

than to suppose:

overall, automation has been increasing the labor share, but this is overshadowed by other causes which have been decreasing labor share.

Thus, if you want to argue for the later supposition, the burden of proof is more heavily on your shoulders to explain the other causes which somehow outweigh the effects of automation on the economy.
Briefly, why is an alternative not to have the administrator sign the membership list and then let the server pass it around? I realize that this will means you won't be able to directly join via an URL, but you could either do that by having different types of group or having the admin have to verify each member after they apply to join via URL.

I feel like the article could have mentioned Telegram though, and I don't see why it couldn't have been mentioned in the paper too.
Fair enough, although "entirely digital" has broader implications than whether the currency itself is physical. It's more that the backing of the currency is digital. In Sweden's case, the backing is still the government. And there are physical representations of crypto in the form of QR codes and such.
An innovation was made in that space — a menu.

Restaurant websites always, without exception, suck. Dominos, while the pizza is garbage, has a wonderful ordering website. But even then the actual menu is awful.

They are always a sales funnel first, menu second. They cannot give accurate ETA, ever. It’s harder to display multiple choices well on a screen vs a sheet of paper.

Unless you are a place with 5 menu items, the paper menu is superior in almost every scenario.

Just finished the last episode of Season 4 Black Mirror called Black Museum [1] and it covers this subject as well. You can say the same about the infamous San Junipero [2].

You could even argue the manga/anime Ghost In The Shell is also about that [3].

I am wondering if engineering simulations for fluids take advantage of GPUs? I studied CFD back in 2005 or so and we used ANSYS Fluent as a solver and it took forever to converge with sufficient accuracy.

If anyone in engineering has insight into this, I'd love to know.

Technically, non-fluid simulations could also be sped up using GPUs? Dynamics, solid state mechanics, thermal simulations, etc.
they could just implement rate limit and oracle would've been fine. but instead they actually tried to sue -_-
Pretty specific one.
