> What average person had a need for internet in 1994?

There were fairly successful predecessors to the Internet, i.e. bulletin boards and Teletext. There was clearly a demand for a stream of information into your home.
Taking offense at "beer Nazi" could lead someone to infer that you believe the term Nazi must only be used in a dignified context. Who is normalizing what is in the eye of the beholder, as people have been belittling Nazis since the 1930s.
A dump of memory (several kilobytes, megabytes or whatever) is inherently big endian: it proceeds from the base address and goes up.

It is counterintuitive to swap pieces of it into some locally opposite order.

Yet, that's what has to be done so that numbers are readable.

That's why "od" has modes for that.

Surely though there were human people in each store who could have helped them with this, you know the ones that have been ordering the stocks and fulling the shelves for years?
I've just canceled my prime this Monday. I kept it only for the Grand Tour Show. I did also notice that the shipping took longer than what they state and most items I had to return since they were not as described. After that I received an email asking me if I am happy with service since I returned 2-3 items.
Amazon is great for common household items that I don't want to make a trip to the store for (cleaning supplies, loofahs, notebooks, pens and paper, etc.). If I want to buy, for example, a Samsung or Apple phone charger, I'm going to buy it from the manufacturer's website.

Target's attempt to expand into Canada failed for a similar reason -- they couldn't get product onto shelves.

Bitfinex doesn't accept USD, so if you want to buy on Bitfinex you have to use USDT.

I can imagine that there are bank accounts out there full of USD that, let's say, wouldn't pass KYC/AML. Those people can't use Coinbase/Gemini, but maybe they are welcome at Bitfinex.
No, cut-through mode for packet forwarding (including on layer 3 prefix matches!) is a feature in current use on L2/3 10/40/100Gb switches, primarily in HFT/HPC environments.
The original question, however, was a loaded one in the context it was asked, in that the person asking the question was using it to dispute the claim that individuals have biological limits that training cannot surmount. Even if this answer does not fully satisfy the excessively stringent terms of the question, it still works as a counterexample to the questioner's position.
OK, but if I have a 40% chance of getting a cancer diagnosis at some point in my life, and they run the test as part of my physical every year, then presumably my chance of having cancer at the time they run the test is much less than 5%.
I'm a Whole Foods employee, having one of those rare (for me) moments where I can reasonably be considered very well-informed on the subject of a news article, and it's a little bit disturbing just how misinformed and one-sided the article is.

The author seems to have talked with 10-20 disgruntled employees at a few stores nationwide, and a few customers on top of that. Maybe she should have reached out to Whole Foods corporate and asked for comments?

About the only thing she did get right was that Amazon isn't behind this. They haven't really messed with our supply chains much yet.

They could be printing tether when BTC collapses to allow themselves to buy more BTC to try to pump it back up. This would make it in essence backed by BTC since it's what they are holding.
Good question. I'd say either the vast majority of tethers are held by the people behind Tether, and/or the non-Tether people who hold it are massively stupid. Any non-Tether people holding Tether are running a risk, with literally no long term upside. They say cash is the worst long term investment, well, Tether "cash" is even worse.

If tether can be used for trading in venues where real USD can not be used, they have additional value to a certain classes of users (who will bid up the price) on top of the value as a “thing that can maybe be redeemed somehow at face value for USD”, which could support a premium price.
A bad inventory system could kill Wholefoods. It killed the launch of Target Canada.
What makes me worry is that through a combination of Chrome dominance and bizarre managerial decisions Firefox will eventually be driven to obscurity no matter the technical prowess of its developers; and then we will be stuck with a Webkit monoculture. Back in the days Firefox managed to make a significant dent to the IE dominance, but this time is much more difficult to develop an engine from scratch as the Web is ridiculously more complex than back in 2002 when Firefox initially appeared. And even then Gecko was already in development for a longer time. However I believe that, eventually, a superior engine will appear, maybe even Servo will be the one. But it won't matter any more because even if that engine is better, more secure, etc., Chrome/Webkit will still be good enough for the 99% (if not more) of users.
Wow, I wonder how new this system is - I've been to Whole foods in the last 3 days and it looked nothing like that picture. I wonder if these images are extreme cases that happened after 1 strange situation, and the article makes it look like a nationwide epidemic.
A business perfectly optimized w.r.t. waste will have zero inventory and zero sales.
I read them all. They have nothing to do with proper UX. They're just basics of perception.

The site is doing the equivalent of advertising as "rules of efficient chair design", and then listing laws of thermodynamics.
Hmm, pretty shocking photos. I live right across the street from a whole foods, it's basically my pantry, and I've never noticed any items being low on stock like shown in the photos.
Maybe even more, if they invested ALL the dollars into bitcoin since their inception. That would be smart of them in hindsight. If that's the case, they could be sitting on $5B+ worth of BTC (or maybe a basket of cryptocurrencies).

Exactly. I've only seen a little bit of her stuff so far but that's been enough to put her high on my list of people to check out more deeply.

I find this response from her hysterical:

Sure, BI is a bit of a click farm, but this does sound like a crisis to me. Not for society in general, but definitely for Whole Foods. Even their loyal customers will get disgusted and leave if the shelves are empty.

The documentation might have that numbering, but that makes no difference in programming on the PowerPC. When we take the value 1 and shift left by 1 bit, we get 2.

That the documentation thinks this is bit 7 going to bit 6 is immaterial.

Calling the MSB "bit 1" is a tip of the hat to serial communications. In serial communication and networking, it is predominant to transmit the MSB first.

If the documentation is about a wire format, then using that numbering is correct down to the data link layer and (modulo framing considerations and such), physical.
Frustration and dissatisfaction are famous sources of creative catalysis. Why go to the trouble of creating unless there's a reward for expending the extra effort?

Maybe the OP psychologists needed to motivate their subjects better. Maybe exceeding a sufficient threshold of desire is essential in order for someone to "get creative"?
Sounds like a JIT system with its settings set to "extra miserly."
It's not exactly a dupe but it sure looks like this article just reworded a bunch of Bitfinexed posts. Why not submit the original?
You might think that, but reality is more complicated, and unwinding from the new inventory management system could be no better than sticking out it.

The modern Trappist Belgium styles ("dubbel, tripel" etc.) were pretty much conceived by Westmalle in the 1920s-1930s. (https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/a-brief-h...). Duvel is the template for the Belgium Golden Strong variety of beer -- that also was developed around the 1920s-1930s. (http://allaboutbeer.com/article/belgian-strong-golden-ale-2/)

So, no, the beers back then did not taste similar to today's beer. I would say that lambics might be the closest reflection to a style that is close to "back in the day". (http://lostbeers.com/lambic-the-real-story/) Even then, the link between today's lambic and the past only goes to the 1700s at best, and it's not clear how representative it is (at least what I can see from skimming the linked blog with Google Translate's help -- https://lambik1801.wordpress.com/).

There are also plenty of technical differences between brewing now and brewing then that would make for a different taste. It was probably a bit sweeter (less attenuation), possibly spiced different before the 1600s, possibly smoky until coal drying came into the norm, probably dark until pale malt was developed in the 19th century, probably had more room for sour notes (before pure yeast cultures were developed in the late 19th-early 20th century), etc.
Actually, you were one of today's lucky 10,000 - and I won't make fun of you for it.
Can you offer any more insights? What's the reality behind OTS?
I'd argue that this definition of "productive" is insufficient. Conveniently, the link to the study is broken (and to "vouchercloud.com", not BLS, the stated source of the study), so it's hard to check the numbers.

My point is, few people can walk up to a keyboard and program "productively" for three hours -- and then do the same thing the next day again indefinitely. Hidden in those productive hours is a lot of informal coordination, necessary for those three hours to be actually productive.

By no means is it given that 8 hours is the optimal workday, nor that the way we generally structure work is the most efficient, but luckily, our field is especially receptive to radical experiments, so someone will surely try this any day now. (/s)

There is a dead comment here that I think raises an interesting question (even if perhaps not in the most appropriate way).

When dealing with electronic goods, where do we draw the line with theft. Even in video games, electronic goods do have an effective market value (even if real money trading is banned), and there have been a few court cases surrounding items of great value. Often times the items stolen has a market value too small to be worth investigating, but what of the cases where there is a significant investment. Eve Online has some interesting cases where the market value being above a few thousand US dollars. Diablo 3 use to have a real money auction house with items worth up to $300, and with a gold market that allowed for items to be sold for even more than that.

Now, Diablo 3 bans scams and would take action against players engaging in them. But in Eve Online, it looks like some of the tactics used are allowed. In another game, Path of Exile, scamming people is allowed (and there even seems to be some protections for scammers). While Path of Exile bans real money trading, there is still a black market and certain items do have a market value, some worth noticeable amounts.

And while I can't think of any case yet, it would be possible for a video game to be created where the in game currency is a crypto currency that is usable outside the game as a crypto currency as well.

I'm not saying we should legalize all scamming, but I do think it is worth discussing further where we draw a life, if we draw a line, and what that line looks like.
Sorry for the slow response. Thanks Brendan for clearing up my misconceptions.
Nominally I'd think it's because they can, theoretically, be exchanged for $1 USD. Practically that's not possible currently (by the sounds of it), but it's the same reason people don't go around selling $1 USD bills for $0.90 USD.
> We're not talking about 200 students in this case. We're talking about one on one conversation with one person. That's when pronouns matter.

Professors never engage in one-on-one conversation with their students? And they never refer to their students in the third-person within the classroom?

> And using the coercion as justification for not doing it is, bluntly, an excuse. It's turning around and claiming yourself the victim of what you do to others.

I don't think Peterson sees himself as a victim, at all. I think he's alarmed and outraged that proscriptive laws governing his speech have been passed. And as an American who's pretty happy with our 1st amendment, I agree with him.

I mean, forget for a moment that this is concerning transgender rights. If a country like Canada continues to outlaw certain ways of speaking, at what point would that concern you? Or would it ever?
The difference between a cryptocurrency backed by something and a MySQL database is that in the former case, underlying value is indeed centralized, but in the latter, both underlying value and the exchange of stake in that value is centralized.

Like chips in a casino can be exchanged with the house for cash, but I don't need to tell the house that I'm giving some chips to my friend.
Yes, but in both cases the Allies went in without looting intentions and some intent to maintain as much of the surviving society as could be de-Nazified. Very rare in history.

(This is not to say that looting didn't happen; the V2 rocket programme was explicitly looted, for example)
Another interesting tidbit to add here: one of the official titles of the pope, pontifex maximux (high priest), has its origins in the kingdom of Rome, well before the Republic was established (509 BC). Though written records don't exist of that time period, its inception is traditionally accounted to the second king of Rome, Numa (rulership ~715 – ~673 BC). This makes it one of the oldest titles, if not the oldest official title still in use.

Regular users are not interested in computers. They're interested in getting shit done, and getting on with their lives.

Which is precisely what modern UX makes harder. You see, regular users aren't "neanderthal users". They have a brain and some amount of focus, and if they have to use an application/website more than few times, they'll figure out and appreciate any feature that lets them do their work more efficiently. Unfortunately, modern UX trends are all about removing productivity, turning tools into toys.
One might think that such a new process could have been rolled in gradually - i.e. start with 20% backroom overhead, and begin reducing a percent a week until there is indication of overreaction. Why jump into the deep end of the just-in-time logistics pool right away?
> Ok, that's fine. But he should use preferred pronouns anyway, in order to not be an asshole.

Let me ask you, do you think requests for preferred pronouns are rooted in a correct understanding of human nature? Or are you merely accommodating something you believe to be mistaken so as to not hurt someone who likely be (on net) hurt by a more honest approach?
...for drugs that they release.

They take a bath on drugs that don't get released.

I'm not trying to claim Pfizer isn't profiteering, but it's not quite that black & white.
Quite a few groups of lower-end Xilinx FPGAs (e.g, XC7S6/15, or XC7A15T/35T/50T) are all physically the same silicon, but are sold under multiple SKUs with different chip IDs, with the synthesis software forced to leave some percentage of the area unused. Open-source synthesis tools would probably break this part of their business model. :)
If you know facts firsthand but refuse to pass them on, that's the definition of a rumor. You're not spreading a rumor, you're actually creating the rumor. Especially since you're posting from a green account.
How far we have fallen. We've got a long way to go
what makes you think working in factory is better than working in the fields?
Does it matter? on x86 you can bswap if you need to convert.
Not sure I follow.

Shuttle service costs for small runs of silicon are, for most people in most situations, tens of thousands of dollars at a minimum. My argument is that if the price dropped to the point where it was competitive with FPGAs at prototype scale (eg, 10 parts might cost $1000 but not $10000) then you would see parts on the market built that way quite quickly. I think the proof for that is the number of low volume commercial parts (HSMs, LTE base stations, etc) which carry FPGAs today. Seems the market has already spoken?
It's not just among the elite. I did some wresting in school and trained for 148lbs (68kg), but I guarantee I would lose to literally anybody in the 198lbs (90kg) bracket, even if they had never wrestled before.

I also knew an incredibly good 97lbs (44kg) wrestler. He was technically much, much better than me, but I could throw him around like a rag doll so I always won.

With weight comes strength. Any competition that rewards strength but does not penalize weight will end up dominated by heavyweights. Westling is particularly brutal as weight itself is beneficial for inertia.
> The admin told him, in so many words, to not be an asshole for no reason. He then published to response on the internet and played the victim.

This is a pretty low resolution summary of their correspondence. It’s also pretty easy to argue that his behavior is better described as refusing to play the victim. For him, the loss of his rights is more impactful than the consequences of not complying, so he refused to play a part in the quiet loss of his rights.
problem is now levels are back up to what they were before the charge happened
AFAIK SVD files are an ARM thing.
Haha, no :). I'm just advocating the same thing you seem to - understanding market incentives as an optimization system, and realizing that its goals are not always aligned with human goals.
Many New Yorkers own cars for weekend trips or recreation, not commuting— if you've ever seen how long it takes for many cars to get dug out and moved in NYC after a snowstorm when alternate-side parking is suspended, this becomes very clear.
I love articles by James Mickens. His "The Slow Winter" has had profound effect on me. I used to be a guy who was obsessed with imporving the baseline clock frequency for sequential logic design/ processing. Thought that was the only way to faster computation. Add to that, I'd read Igor Markov's "Limits on Fundamental Limits to Computation" and S Llyod's "Ultimate physical limits to computation". I reflected and pondered on how to construct the Ultimate Laptop that can process 10^51 FLOPS/ second. But after reading The Slow Winter, I realized how important power management is, and how much attention it deserves. That led me to explore other domains of computer systems.
Valuation is not revenue nor any other form of money. They don't actually have $50 billion. At best you could claim the markets expect the future worth of the company be on average around $50 billion (modulo preferential stock impact, so actually a bit less).

There’s a huge difference between blatant fraud, and not registering as a “Commodity Pool Operator” with the CFTC.

I can see the argument for allowing people to use unregulated services, but legalizing fraud and misrepresentation seems like insanity to me.

Imagine buying anything in a market where fraud is legal... you’d never know what you’re actually buying.

Money Laundering?

You have $1M in dirty money. Wire it to Tether for some Tethers. Go on Bitfinex and buy lots of bitcoin. Transfer the bitcoin to a legitimate exchange. Sell for clean USD.

This could be a very valuable (and lucrative) service in certain circles, I have no doubt. One thing that could jeopardize the livelihood (...and lives?) of people running a business in this space would be a steeply falling Bitcoin price. They would probably do anything to keep the price up. Like issuing more magic tethers and buying Bitcoin with them.

The Mozilla board of directors should be entirely replaced as either corrupt or incompetent.

What they have done is squandered billions and personally pocketed millions. What they haven't done is build a functional organization or compete effectively in the marketplace. It's a slow moving train wreck.

It's sad that nothing will likely change until there's a big story or book written. Pre-order "The Mozilla Scandal" today.

It's my understanding that this works with the complete address, not just the first byte, where it begins processing before the whole frame is received.

On 100Gbit you're talking 0.01ns per bit, so 0.32ns for a full IPv4 address. This compared to, potentially, 15.24ns for a complete IPv4 frame.

Yes, I'm a macroeconomist, I dabble in these matters all day every day (actually not really, I run the family company nowadays, but anyway, this stuff is my bread and butter, supposedly)... I know that current western systems are better characterised as being endogenous money systems rather than fractional reserve (though the two are not mutually exclusive, as if the reserve ratio is not mandatory but flexible then banks can be doing fractional reserve while the central bank simultaneously does not have any control over the size of the money supply... which isn't that bizarre either because as one progresses up the hierarchy of money supplies (M0, M1, M2, M3...) one pretty quickly gets far from anything central banks can legiferate about and into the domain of “assets agents are willing to accept as valuable and as suitable for exchange”, such as cigarettes, art, or prime real estate.

I'd argue that the endogenous money model most definitely isn't applicable to any cryptocurrency currently out there because maximum amounts are fixed, and thus (eventually) would be come unresponsive to market needs (and more technically, their derivative, the ‘speed’ with which money is introduced or removed, does not depend on the needs of the underlying economy and instead on technical aspects of the size of the mining network & cetera).

Sorry I didn't answer earlier I didn't see your comment.
