Dont fool yourself. If you get a Huawei phone and use it with a U.S. carrier with any services by U.S. tech companies that can be back-doored or subpoenaed, then you could potentially have both the U.S. and China spying on you.
It has already been proven in the past that these Chinese phones send considerable amounts of data to Chinese servers.

If you are someone working with a military contractor or the government(with any kind of security clearance) I dont think the U.S. would want you using a Chinese phone for obvious reasons
I think you're very much mistaken about the risks involved. For example[0]. I really have a hard time understanding people who think the US is worse than China. China is orders of magnitude worse. Sure, the NSA may spy on your electronic communications but the level of invasive, oppressive surveillance is not even comparable[1]. As far as I know no people are in jail in the US for protesting the government's policies. In China that's not the case[2].

Your response says nothing about the advertisers themselves, which is who the original question is being asked of. We have all heard this explanation countless times, and repeatedly the answer is NOT a nice analogy about how businesses I know and love absolutely must use advertising to survive.

The problem is with the advertisers, and the rotten business culture that has developed around that field. A culture of rent-seeking, as another comment alluded, that cares little for how much it may bother, annoy, rankle, fuck with, or otherwise manipulate the people it seeks to spread its message to.

And it truly is rotten culture: marketeers liken to these daily, unending intrusions as storytelling, and then they couch it in 'love' and 'empathy' not because the message actually contains or needs that, but because it affects viewers' emotional states in a way that makes them more suggestive to 'storytelling'. And this is to say nothing of all the other nefarious things we all know they do!

How can you possibly support such a rotten and corrupt collective of individuals and organizations? Today's marketing gospel/culture/practitioners are one of those things that not only needs the baby thrown out with the bathwater, but also the bathtub, the sink, the toilet -- and everything else 'digital advertising' may have touched.
So I found MDN's documentation on it (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/grid-templa...), but wasn't 100% certain on how the implementation works. Namely, how footer and foot were related.

At first I was thinking it was inferring first HTML element seen (head) relates to first area element written (also head), second HTML element seen (nav) and second distinct area element written (also nav), and third HTML element (footer) with third distinct area element written (foot). Then I see the pretty obvious grid-area within the CSS handling that linking and I must say, that's beautiful stuff.

For seeing pictures of my nieces and nephews and various family gatherings that I can't be a part of FB works fine. But I don't follow any brands or willingly subject myself to advertising...all the stuff that FB wants you on their platform for I willingly ignore.
The developers have a release cycle that includes periodic hard forks. AFAIK there is nothing algorithmic to entice or force a fork like the Ethereum difficulty bomb does.
It's interesting that you didn't consider internal SRAM; 2 MB of SRAM is less than 10 mm2 in a 10 nm process so an entire CryptoNight core might be ~12 mm2. This would be roughly twice the area efficiency of x86.

> the rule of "don't roll your own crypto".

That's an extremely important principle when doing the routine work of protecting sensitive information, but less relevant when you're making hash modifications that are going to be obsolete in a few months anyway. By the time anyone's done serious cryptanalysis, it's probably too late.

Anyway, the worst case scenario is that things get screwed up and you need to do a premature hard fork that rolls back some transactions. Not the end of the world.
In Monero, the idea is that hash power should be spread throughout rather than consolidated and fought over by high-power people.

I see your point about ASICs raising the bar but wouldn't that put contributions out of reach of all but high-wealth or dedicated miners? Which is basically what has happened to Bitcoin. It is completely uneconomical for anyone but people with free to very cheap electricity and lots of ASICs.

I believe the point of Monero is that power shouldn't be consolidated to a single few.

> if it is indeed his property he should have the right to do what he wants with it.

The general principle is that you can do what you want with your property, but you must pay for any damages you cause in doing so.

The important question is whether you did cause those damages (maybe it was someone else's fault, or maybe the damages were inevitable and would have happened regardless of your action or inaction, or maybe you acted in good faith like any other person would have) which gives judges plenty to think about.
In my book this is more or less another proof that you should be vary of vendor lockin and that under no circumstances whatsoever use any such system for communication. It is bad enough to change phone number but you simply can't change facebook to something else and continue as usual.

I guess this leaves email, SMS and IRC as the main remaining options.

Somehow this needs to be communicated to the general public, but I don't have the slightest hope that this can be solved.

The future sucks.

I may very well be a product in many business relationships. Some of those relationships are more equitable than others. In some cases I can extract great value in my role as "product".

Another point - Apple has 100s of millions of customers, whereas Google has billions. Google literally has a 10x scaling problem, and correspondingly a far lower revenue per customer (or product as you like).

I love Google services, but I interact with them knowing I'm one of billions.
QDR-IV is SRAM.

I think buying QDR-IV and externally interfacing would be easier. But I haven't thought too much about this aspect of the problem.

In effect, QDR-IV already exists and is already mass produced. So if you wanted SRAM, there it is. Already to order from numerous suppliers. I don't see much reason why you'd want to design it into an ASIC when its a ready off-the-shelf part.

Overall, I think the optimal design would use RLDRAM3 anyway. RLDRAM3 is cheaper and uses less Watts than QDR-IV. The tRC latency issue on RLDRAM3 doesn't seem to affect the expected workload of a memory-heavy Cryptocoin, so QDR-IV (aka SRAM) wouldn't have much of an advantage over RLDRAM3 anyway.
Right, you must have missed the part where I said:

> Cumulative exposure effects like you're describing are something that SpaceX is addressing by replacing the satellites very frequently, up to every 4 years. Given the need to upgrade frequently anyway to keep abreast of technology improvements, the extra cost of this is minimal considering the insane price (and low performance) of traditional rad-hard electronics.

By my calculation, at 1000km altitude and 45 degrees inclination, the satellites should see about 1kRad/year of cumulative radiation dose (given only the satellite casing for shielding). So replacing them every 4 years is easily enough to avoid the 15-20kRad your devices failed at.

It's also possible to shield the electronics (SpaceX has reusable rockets with performance to spare, so might as well use it!). With 10g/cm^2 of aluminum shielding (vs 1g/cm^2 for just the casing, etc), the dose is reduced to about 330rad/year.

In any case, replacing the satellites frequently or adding shielding are both valid strategies for addressing this.
Algorithms taught by Skiena was one of two CS courses I took at Stony Brook (the other was formal logic) as they were cross listed with MAT. It was an enjoyable class, i think Skiena has really nailed down how to teach CS. This book covers more than can be taught in a semester so it was a great way for me to get a wide breadth of basic algorithmic knowledge. I think its treatment of simulated annealing stuck with me most.
I wouldn't argue, but I think the hurdles to overcome to pull off a production like Toyota's of VW's are not to underestimate.

Not 100% sure about your scenario, but if you set a preStop hook to an exec probe you can arbitrarily delay shutdown inside the gracePeriod, because the kubelet won’t terminate the container until preStop returns.

So if you set a 5 hour grace period, and a preStop hook that invokes a script that doesn’t return until all connections are closed (but which tells the container process not to accept new ones) you can control the drain rate.

There is some app level smarts required - to have new connections rejected and have any proxies rebalance you. Haproxy does this in most cases, but the service proxy won’t (in iptables mode).

If that’s not the behavior you’re seeing, please open a bug on Kube and assign me (this is something I maintain)

"Xenophobic" is probably a better word than "racist" in both cases, but yes, if it's about students it's fearmongering.

The OPM problem was not about students, and in one case it was about people physically located in China, unlike students who are visiting the US. If you're giving unrestricted access to a database of personal info on Americans to grad students, you have bigger problems regardless of their nationality. Find people where you have a documented history of them being trustworthy. And if necessary, require them to get clearance, that's what clearance is for.

> Can you imagine if Russians were a another "race".

> Alas, they cannot make such accusations.

Why not? Can you prove that Russians are "another race"?

Is there such thing as a scientific definition that states unambiguously where any one race ends and another begins? I don't doubt that populations of humans commonly share family lineage, phenotypes, and genotypes, but the concept of "race" escapes any sufficient definition or real world testability.

US state laws and culture had for a long time considered the "one-drop"[1] (of blood of a different race) a disqualifier for being considered a White American. The implication is that if you can't prove your pedigree back infinitely far, you are more likely that not to not be white.

In fact, using some inductive logic, it's almost perfectly likely that every person is "mixed-race" if you search back far enough.

This is all to say that "racism" is a description of how people see (and treat) other people. It's rarely been about actual pedigrees and almost entirely been about mental classification of others.

BPF started as the Berkeley Packet Filter, a language for declaring network packet filtering rules and eventually, a pretty good JITted virtual machine runtime for applying these rules quickly. However, it's since evolved to a generic filtering VM and been applied to system trace and other kernel-level filtering usecases.

Historically, threads on Linux were implemented as process-alike tasks and even had unique PIDs, which caused all sorts of hell for vanilla-POSIX threaded applications.

And, in Linux, code style differences in device drivers led to (rather than a codestyle enforced by an automatic formatter) "semantic patches" - patches that can apply to code regardless of its formatting.

Sorry, as a musician, I've never heard pitch defined this way. Pitch is essentially another word for frequency (though perhaps used more commonly in the context of a musical instrument or a human voice, and most musical instruments emit harmonics, as described in the article, and are thus not a singular frequency).

Merriam-Webster corroborates this:

> the property of a sound and especially a musical tone that is determined by the frequency of the waves producing it : highness or lowness of sound

Wiktionary as well:

> The perceived frequency of a sound or note.

Oxford:

> The quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.
Did you read the article? It's kind of about exactly why that's not the case.
Yes, but then you end up competing directly with the price/performance of off-the-shelf hardware. PC memory bandwidth is the best deal in computing because it's amortized across so many units.

I think it would be difficult for an FPGA to beat a $200 CPU and $60 MB that has 30-50 GiB/s RAM bandwidth.

(Numbers are approximate)
Another way of looking at the two points of views is to look at what problems they purport to solve.

One example:

Socialism purports to solve the positive-feedback loop of wealth within western capitalist economies (i.e. the more money you start with, the more money you earn, on average). Inasmuch as money relates to political power, this positive feedback loop will end up being supported by the state.

Libertarianism spurports to solve problems of inefficiency of government spending and regulation. This includes the problem of regulatory capture, as that is just intentional inefficiencies caused by government regulation.

So there is some agreement that money influencing government regulation is bad between them. A pithy statement of the difference might be that libertarians try to solve the problem by banning government regulation, and socialists try to solve the problem by banning wealth. This is a severe oversimplification, so whichever half of the statement made you want to hit reply and start typing "but it's more complicated than that" is probably the side you agree with more.

Since I'm fairly cynical, I think that banning regulations and banning wealth are both impossible to accomplish, which is why I don't belong to either of these two groups. I do think though that the majority of the people who align with one of those two groups are normal people who see something wrong with the world and have good reasons to believe that this is a way to solve it.

I do believe that people will play up the ideals of these groups for their own benefit. If you manufacture widgets, then a proposed government program to buy widgets for poor people will make you a socialist for a day. If your widget factory is losing money because of environmental regulations, then all of the sudden you quote Rothbard.
I know Peter Todd has made some comments about how it would be pretty easy to build ASICs for memory-hard hashing algorithms, but my few seconds of Googling hasn't turned it up. Plenty of old hands will acknowledge that ASIC resistance may be a pipe dream for any coin which amasses sufficient economic value.

Well, yeah, if there was any thought or analysis, people would say “supplier” not “product”.
