No regulation needed for this. MNOs make a profit from their MVNO business, and it allows them to overbid for spectrum in a relatively risk-free manner. Even if ATT can't get enough fools to sign up for their overpriced gold-plated mobile service to use all the spectrum they bought, they can tune the prices they charge MVNOs to fill the rest of the pipe. This arrangement also allow them to enjoy various other anticompetitive benefits like dictating "acceptable" marketing to MVNOs and forcing them to sign one-sided backhaul deals.
In my job, I meet a lot of elderly people many of whom have significant medical illnesses. I wish it could be otherwise, but almost all the people that have 'aged well' have children.

Many of the arguments against having kids are from the perspective of a 20 - 40 year old. More than half our lives are going to be spent being older than this, and it is easy to optimize for things that will simply be irrelevant after a while.
"trying not to get squashed by the powers that be" is the future. Only going to get harder each year.
The article leads with two stories of people who just waited too long, but about 2/3 down there are a couple stories (and blog links!) of people who actually were involuntarily childless - Lizze Lowrie, who had 6 miscarriages by age 33, and Rev Sonya Dorah, who was raped as a teenager, contracted chlamydia, and ended up infertile as a result.
It sounds like you’re claiming that Coverity has a solution to the Halting Problem? That would indeed be magical.
> "In many ways, 2017 marked the year that cryptocurrency stopped being about technologically innovative peer-to-peer cash and instead essentially became a new, unregulated penny stock market."

I don't think it stopped being about tech innovation - there is a ton of stuff happening around proof-of-stake, layer 2 networks, state channels etc. It's just that the stories around the speculative aspects of the cryptocurrency assets have been dominating in 2017.
I don't see any merit to that other than as a cute irony.

Given your hobbies, I’d wonder if perhaps you’re generally less anxious, fearful, and probably emotional in general? Your hobbies also speak to quite a high arousal threshold, in regards to your need form stimulation, adrenaline, etc. Do you find that you’re at your “most alive” in what others consider to be high stress conditions?

When the cable breaks you then loose all upstream sensors. Pipes sometimes explode, waterways burst. So it isnt ever just one cable. You need many levels of backup and as a general rule want the data moving on a network not folowing the pipe.
One possible resolution of The Fermi Paradox and The Great Filter are:
We figure out reliable and cheap contraception and raising kids is too difficult and/or expensive, so everyone basically stops doing it.

...in the meantime, you'd get collapse of social systems as the weight of a society composed nearly entirely of the elderly brings growth to a halt as the few young try to take care of the huge number of elderly people.

Luckily, in the West, we still have immigration so we don't have much to worry about. But when the poorest countries start becoming wealthy and get access to cheap/reliable contraception, there will be no one left to immigrate into their countries.

We might get lucky and have the machines take care of us as we age. But thus ends the human race.

EDIT: My solution is for society to stop treating child-rearing as a second-rate job and for us to fully support both fathers and mothers as equal caretakers, giving both full support in the form of leave and childcare, etc. And universal healthcare, too.

Without massive immigration, childbirth is way too low in the West (and now, increasingly, in the Far East) to maintain a stable population. I'm a huge fan of immigration, but not every country in the world can rely on that at the same time.
IoT terminology gets used for a lot of different things, including fairly traditional SCADA. It does tend to be different in degree than historically--more sensors, more analysis, more real-time control, but it's certainly different from wearables, SmartHome, or even the broader set of sensors that go by things like smart cities.
How to tell people I'm not their tech support?
What do you mean by exact same components? Cables are pretty much cables, LEDs are LEDs, resistors are resistors, and a Raspberry Pi is a Raspberry Pi. Other than the Pi, brand names don't really matter too much in this space.
>>You can save time by learning from the mistakes of others.

>Only barely. For important life decisions/paths, people only learn from their own mistakes (and often not even from those).

>Heck, Computer Science as a field itself forgets its own collected wisdom every new generation hits the market, and re-invents BS that other eras have tried and buried with another fad name.

Your last statement sounds like it's in favor of "learning from the mistakes of others" in that we could avoid re-inventing failed "BS" if we learned from others' mistakes. Are you saying that the idea that folks in CS re-invent work which has previously failed is evidence that it is not possible to learn from the mistakes of others?

That's a problem, sure, but it doesn't suggest at all that "real security analysis" means starting with an obfuscated blob and reversing it. It suggests that you're better off doing both kinds of analysis. Variable names can lead your thoughts in certain directions and make it more difficult to see certain execution paths. Obfuscated blobs won't lead your thoughts much of anywhere they weren't already inclined to go -- but they make it much more difficult to see all execution paths.
This is the key. Without INVPCID PCID is good as useless.

Humanity didn't flourish during the ice ages. They almost went extinct.

I'll admit that antibiotics impact is hard to really isolate from all the other discoveries we've had since ~1920, but their combined effect is pretty obvious to see no matter which data source you choose to use.

finally, nobody says that our lives are worse than that of people from pre/early industrial times. It's probably not even us who are currently writing here that will need to live with the consequences. Its still at least 30-50 years off before anything really bad happens. At least that's what most of the scientists write. I'm not one myself.
It's a lazy use of language, but yes, "Why does <person-X> justify doing <thing-Y>" is the same as "good reason" in some colloquial uses of US English. Furthermore, in US English, just like in British English, there are plenty of class and education factors that influence how someone would phrase the statement in question.

Most educated coastal folks would not use "3 good reasons" in this case, but at least in my experience, in less educated communities in the South it is more likely to be phrased that way. I implicitly assumed that the teacher did not mean "good" pertaining to slavery, but that may be because I grew up in an environment with different colloquialisms than others. Frankly, if I were a sleep deprived teacher just trying to get something done, I could easily see myself making the same mistake and then seriously regretting that it warped my intention.

This is particularly interesting because I think that the use of language in this case actually reinforces the intent people read into the situation. With some people confused as to how this is "racist" because of a different reading of the language in addition to a different moral interpretation around the assignment.

"You Ruined Everything" by Jonathan Coulton

My favorite title in life is being a dad. I loved changing the dirty diapers for my wife. I love joking with them about how they puked on head when I was carrying piggy back down the stairs. I loved seeing them succeed. I have 2 "bios" and 3 "adopts" and I loved all of them deeply.

Sure there are hard crappy things. I hated how my first was super colicky and cried 8 hours a day. I hated when they were feeling down or hurt. I hated when my middle son was diagnosed and then 4 years later died of cancer, but I wouldn't want to trade any of the bad things because I would have missed the highs and the norms.
Yeah, this is amazing. It allows for a whole different aspect of troubleshooting (or maybe even fuzzing?). What happens if two different pieces of software have to communicate but can't agree on the time? Is there an annoying caching bug that normally only gets triggered every few days?
That's an interesting line of thought about the artificial complexity/problematic aspects overlaid on something so natural. A society that can reduce any friction about so necessary a behavior should enjoy a strong long term competitive advantage. The barren lifestyle can only proceed as long as generation+0 then another will inherit it by default. There's some funny quote I heard once, "the future belongs to those who show up". We need people to show up, how can we make it not so complicated?
I think too much power can go either way. You don't want the employees to be dominated by the company, but you don't want the company to be dominated by the employees either. Not sure how you ensure a healthy balance.

I think distance has as much or more of an effect here. Plenty of people are willing to act like jerks under their real names and profile pictures on Facebook and news site comment sections, and it's likely in part because they know they'll never encounter the people they're attacking or ever have to fear retribution for their comments online.

$50k is real money -- it's more than I earn in a year -- but I'd pay it (or double, or triple) without question if it meant having our own child.

The problem with IVF is that it's not guaranteed. Would I part with a year's salary for a 10% chance of having a child? How about 90%? These are scary calculations to make in your mind... and those percentages go down with each passing month.
Prayer is similar in many ways.

Even the poses associated with prayer, hands pressed in front of the heart center, are quite common in physical meditative practices.

There are codified names in yoga for all of the poses in the islamic prayer ritual as well (tadasana (mountain pose) and balasana (child's pose)).

These are particular orientations of the body known to the ancients to align the mind towards meditation. It's not an accident. Nor is the fasting requirements common to various traditions, which are meant to quiet the gut, and thereby the mind, making meditation much easier.

Even group singing/chanting can be considered meditative. Many monk traditions of course incorporate this as a formal meditation.

So it's not too far off. Modern life obscures the original intent of course, but the meditative elements are there for any adherents.
That's assuming they had proper DBAs. Modern ORMs, Docker, and other "DevOps" tools allow you to build stuff without really knowing whats going on.

Edit. An example that comes to mind that you can deploy a mysql cluster in docker with persistent storage. Playing with fire.
Maybe that is part of it. But I think it has more to do with the enormous responsibility inherent in parenting. Because with parenting you can't just quit. Becoming a parent is equivalent to deciding that for 18 years someone else's life is more important than your own, and if you weren't willing to commit to that then you have made an unpardonable mistake by being a parent.

Now with that said, should parents be able to gripe without repercussions? Absolutely. But griping is not the same as expressing regret, and expressing regret can imply you weren't really up for the job.
Uh, no? Null pointers are far from the halting problem, though.

And to be clear, there are still limitations. It can't say if any value you pass into a function that is not part of the current compilation is safe. For somewhat obvious reasons.

But for a large large class of bugs, using advanced tooling can go a long way. As evidenced by the power of the advanced tooling new languages bring into the compilers. :)

Destroys landscapes? At least there is a landscape. One that's much nicer than being surrounded by concrete in all directions. I don't know how narrow a definition of "suburbia" we're taking, but I grew up mostly in a smallish town in a valley and there weren't any of these problems. The rich people had bigger houses, whatever. Going places was a short nice drive instead of having to take crowded public transit (I've taken public transit, I'd drive instead any day). Are you really painting walking/taking public transit everywhere in a city as a plus?

You buy the computer when you need the computer. No one buys (or no one with any sense) a computer today if they won't be turning it on for a year.

In an inflationary economy you are motivated to spend the money early, rather than late. And as buyers predominantly drive the economy and not sellers, this keeps things moving at a reasonable tempo (barring extreme inflation).

In a deflationary economy you are motivated to spend the money later. And, again, as buyers drive the economy more than sellers, this slows the pace of the economy. [0]

Right now it is to my benefit to buy a house for $200k and secure a $180k loan at 3% interest because with inflation the real interest rate is actually more like 1% (assuming the target of about 2% inflation per year).

In a deflationary economy that $180k loan at 3% would have a real interest rate closer to 5%.

The lender comes out great, they still get their 3% interest and the effect of deflation. The borrower gets shafted, they're paying back much more than the property is worth by the end of the loan (even worse than under inflation).

However, while buyers get to drive much of the economy compared to sellers, lenders have control of the capital and are in a better position to set the terms than borrowers. So under deflation buyers are doing fine, lenders are doing better than now, sellers are meh, and borrowers are screwed.

[0] Why I say buyers drive an economy more: It is very difficult for seller to force a sale. The buyer almost always has a choice. Now, the seller can set the price but as they want to remain profitable they can only push it so high before they lose sales to competitors who recognize the opportunity to undercut and remain profitable.

Indeed. Earlier today I replied to a comment that said

Perceiving white males to be hard done by is amusing

I guess the poster of that never even considered the white males in former industrial regions. Or worse, considered that they deserved to lose their livelihoods because of their race and gender being "wrong". It's that kind of smug attitude that lead directly to Trump and Brexit.
Read a different way, they have a hypothesis they set out to prove or disprove. Their experiment was flawed and the data thrown out, so the hypothesis is neither confirmed nor disproved. It's still a hypothesis, and one backed by more anecdotal evidence. It would be disingenuous to suggest it's false without evidence supporting same. I think they were transparent and logical in their reporting.

> As an immigrant, I wouldn't expect them to make adjustments for my schedule.

Your desire not to be a burden is laudable, but there's a more-important principle at stake here. Government officials should always make an effort to accommodate reasonable requests, or if that's not possible, to explain why — and moreover, those officials, as representatives of this country and its citizens (including me), should damned well be at least that welcoming and courteous to a visitor or new resident such as the GP's wife. Assuming that the GP was accurately telling the whole story, every American should be thoroughly embarrassed that the GP's wife was treated so abysmally, and the officials responsible should be disciplined.
I think the point is different. Author is saying Java interop is fraught with runtime nullable issues that can't be caught at compile time for Java libs sans annotations. It has nothing to do with how it's set in Kotlin. Author says with nullable annotations on tge Java side, it'd bark at your first example too which is the real point.
I do the same thing with Jean-Luc Picard from The Next Generation. WWJLPD?
The choice for a non-citizen isn’t made at the border. I decide whether to go and comply, or to stay home which is the only way to not comply.

Flying over to make trouble at the border is just wasting $1k+ on a plane ticket. I’m sure if I really wanted I could make more difference to legislation by just donating that money to the ACLU or similar.
That depends on what you mean by "Operating System". Lots of real time operating systems don't have virtual memory or file systems. But I would agree with you that the "Baking Pi" course covers little of what one would typically associate with an operating system, it is much more of a course on low level ARM assembly and interfacing with a frame buffer.
That isn't the reverse; it's just the same thing happening to someone else.
It does not "stays in the caches for a very short time until the branch prediction is rolled back", the core of the problem is that speculative instructions caused by out of order execution or branch prediction leave a side-effect (whether some memory location was fetched to cache or not) that can be read for a long time afterwards.

The covert channel consists of a "sender" and a "receiver". The receiver can't extract contents of L1 cache, but it can detect which pages were in cache by timing differences. So the sender encodes the secret data by fetching particular addresses calculated so that the receiver can afterwards recover the secret by verifying which page(s) were in cache.

In Meltdown attack, the sender consists of instructions controlled by you - e.g. x=memory_you_shouldn't_access; y=array[1000x] - and after an Intel processor notices that you shouldn't access that memory and rolls back the instructions (invalidating y and x), the 1000x location was already pulled to cache, and you can check - is array[1000] cached? is array[2000] cached? is array[142000] cached? to determine x.

In Spectre attack, the sender consists of code in the vulnerable application that happens to contain similar instructions. Spectre attack means that if your application anywhere contains code like if (parameter is in bounds) {x=array1[parameter]} (...possibly some other code...) y=array2[x], then any attacker that (a) runs on the same CPU and (b) can manipulate the parameter somehow can trick this code to process the path "protected" by 'if' and reveal random memory out of bounds of that array1. The difference from ordinary buffer overflow bugs is that code like that is normal, common and (in general) not a bug, since the instructions "don't get executed", and the vulnerability persists even if you validate all input.
I thought I heard something in this direction once, that a woman adds years to her life in a linearly scaling fashion with the number of children she bears, which plateaus beyond some count like 5 or 6 I think it was. I think this news came around the time they discovered maternal-fetal “chimera” cells which apparently go in and fix stuff in mama IIRC. Sometimes I wonder about all these medical records we gather and how they'd contribute to measuring stuff like you point out. With all the data enumerated in the future it should be a relatively straightforward analysis right?
Glad I could help! AdS/CFT is a very elegant idea in modern physics, I hope you enjoy studying it.
But I think the point is that the electoral college is specifically designed to lessen the influence of those mostly liberal cities in the federal election.
