That is in fact when the A20 gate was introduced. I suspect the poster above was referring to 80x86 and not specifically the 8086. The 8086 (and 8088, 80186) could only address 1Mb of memory and only have 20 address lines, while the 80286 has 24 address lines. In real mode the 80286 is supposed to be compatible with the 8086. However, it has a bug where the A20 line is not 0 in real mode, which can cause problems with real mode software that relies upon address space wraparound using seg:ofs addressing. So Intel introduced the A20 gate which could be controlled by software and allowed or prevented address line 20 from being seen on the bus. Enabling it allowed your 80286+ real mode software access to an extra 65520 bytes of memory.
How do you figure such a thing? Do you have evidence?
Anyone here from phoenix who has tried them?
Hopefully solar cells will become cheap enough quickly enough. It would be awesome to have a small hydrogen plant at home.
Logan's Run [0] (still a great movie even watching it today - especially the cats [1] :-) ) - that society sure had the lowest health care expenses on the entire planet in its fictional universe of a future earth (a statement even more true since it probably was the only one, haha).

By the way, if we want to "cut costs" we could just blow up the planet and be done with it. No more "costs". What bizarre discussions we are having these days. "Cost cutting" makes sense in narrow(er) contexts, when the goal is clear and various paths to get there are explored, but for societal meaning-of-everything goal setting? If we didn't have health care we would not need to pay for it. That's true for everything ever made by humans. On this planet one person's cost is another persons's income, until we find aliens to trade with.

People already exist (and in huge numbers!) - what do we do with them? They may as well work as doctors and nurses and in the many industries supplying the health care sector. Or they could just hang around and play games, produce meme videos for Youtube, or become insurance agents or financial advisers (but of course, without "costs" somewhere there is not much to invest in... unless we become more of a "virtual society" and just have "money" building and feeding on itself without actual real-world connection).

PS: Completely unrelated issue, just for fun search for "Logan's run" on Youtube, filter by "length > 20 minutes", and check out a few of the many results. You can do that for lots of movies, especially popular older ones. Does it seem like Youtube is overrun by millions (must be millions overall, for all kinds of movies) of fake "movies", hours-long fake movies? Doesn't that waste huge amounts of Youtube storage? Why does Google not do anything about it, ML algorithms should have an easy time finding most of those uploads?

I'm sorry but this is highly sensible data and the "where does the money come from" caution is the first line of defense a normal user has. Most of the time it is the only one.

Partnering with Bertelsmann here was a huge mistake. It questions not only data security it questions this first line of defense.

Think about it, how am I supposed to tell somebody to give their data to you when I already told them to look for the money first? I'd make myself and my methods unbelievable, incoherent and probably corrupted.

This is really terrible because this research is necessary and important but I hope you understand that I will neither support it nor recommend it...
I love the idea! I often open up vim to edit some stuff, save it in a temp file, then copy it. I never realised I needed a more streamlined version but after seeing this it hit me like a brick.

I don't think I need that much scaffolding, though. I just knocked this together:

#!/bin/bash
vim /tmp/everyvim && cat /tmp/everyvim | xclip -sel clip -i
Nah, is not the devs, is the way the market works. If any of the major apps around will skip a release cycle, the entire media will be plastered with titles like "such and such are dying", investors will start panicking, users might start migrating, bad times for everyone. Basically, we, as a society, are using the wrong metrics to asses the health of an app/company.

A self driving car can have much better "perception" of the surrounding area and reaction times under 100ms, making it potentially very good at flocking safely.
> We use high-end Xeon machines for research and would think twice before purchasing AMD

Ryzen supposedly have a price-performance benefit over Xeons for multi-threaded workloads.

What would you say the main reasons for staying with Xeons are for your type of research? Is single threaded performance intrinsic to the type of computation your research requires? or do those optimised math libraries you mentioned bring so much practical benefit as to outweight any current raw price-performance differences?

Soz, lots of questions, was just interested in how it applies to HPC based research in reality.
The consensus seems to be that those types of skills do not belong in a Higher Learning institution. In Germany, the saying is "You do not need a Computer to study CS", although it sounds wrong in English because CS literally contains the word "Computer" while the German term for CS (Informatik) is a mashed-together version of Information and Mathematics.

Some German Universities (TUM, KIT) pride themselves on that last point so much, they actually pass off the CS degree as an Informatics degree on the English version of their diploma transcripts.

Google has been delivering malware, spyware and that kind of things for years. It was even considered a major vector of infection (usually someone looked for flash on google and clicked on the first results which happened to be a google ad for an infected flash installer)
Then just leave the drugs grandfathered. If we view something as a problem (i.e. the lack of formal drug approval processes on old drugs), but we are not willing to solve the problem right (i.e. providing funding to government agencies to do the research), then we shouldn't do anything at all. Continuing the status quo is also a reasonable action.
Thanks so much for your comments and questions!

* Although excluding key reviews positions your game better, and therefore seems like a good idea from your perspective, from our slightly more neutral perspective, why would we feel compelled to make that change? Aren't key activation customers just as valid as Steam purchasers, whose reviews and opinions are equally valid?

I'm not really swayed by the argument that Valve thinks it's cool. I don't know why Valve thinks that's a good idea; it may be because they have no oversight over how keys are distributed, or it may be to encourage you to push punters to purchase on Steam because it makes them more money, but their reasons are their own.

Aside, I'd posit that whilst it may look better for your game, it may look equally better for other games, too. There's no guarantee your game would be in any better standing for making such a change.

* Player count factors in fairly minimally for games with relatively low sales. It's just there to stop big names taking over the ranking. We use the total player count; that is, anyone who's ever launched the game.

* You're not the first person to suggest a badge-type widget. I wish we could do that but please understand the site is statically generated at present. Until we have dynamically generated pages we're quite limited in what we can do. It will take several months to get there, but once it's possible, having an embeddable widget would be cool!

In the meantime you can create a game tracking link for your game which will load the page centred around wherever your game is in the ranking, and highlight it. To generate one, click the link icon that appears when hovering over a ranking entry.

The thing with China though, is that it consistently has something fall apart right before it makes the transition from contender to influencer on the world stage.

Historically it has been famine, but other times it has been the cultural emphasis on being the best copier of ideas (the civil service exam used to be about who could recite the teachings of Confucius the most actually, not who could create the best new interpretation), and not on creating original ideas. When you're at the top you must create original content.

And the third case, although not relevant this time, is the lack of maritime tradition / cultural emphasis on exploration. So somewhat related to point two in that there's little drive to explore the unknown.

You probably have an advantage coming from a native background. The main thing i've been battling when it comes to React Native is that to do things really well, you do need to be able to dive into native code from time-to-time. It's definitely true that you can write simple apps with just the React layer, but I think people greatly underestimate the amount of work it takes to build an app that actually feels native.
Very cool and convenient information. I've been looking this for a long time. I think it will come in handy for my design project. Thanks for your work!

It's as if you were describing my own experience. With the only difference, that I had to figure out how to use vi. Such fun! I took me some time to figure out how to exit the editor, let alone how to make changes or write the file.

We didn't have all the resources at out fingertips back then. Just the books. We couldn't find copy-and-paste hideous solutions on StackOverflow, we had to figure it out on our own. Programming had the air of wizardry.

I do believe that nowadays it's much easier to learn the basics of programming, considering massive number of resources available just a few keystrokes away. On the other hand the expectations have changed a lot after programming went mainstream.

In my line of work, before I became a consultant, I had interviewed a lot of candidates for web development positions. In my rough estimate only 2 out of 10 are cut out for it. And no wonder - the demand on the market is massive, the money is all right, so more people jump on the bandwagon and try to get by. They don't want to learn a great deal, they don't have a real interest in the domain. They just want to do the job as painlessly as possible and get paid good money.

This also means, they have to cut corners. They don't have time to figure things out and build solid foundations. They are after quick results. They just want to become employable. The passion in our profession is hugely diluted, with the inflow of people who want to do the job just because it pays nicely. It's pure economy.

And because it is economy, the expectations have changed. Maximising return on investment, where the time spent on learning something is the investment, means that steep learning curve is no good anymore.

So maybe let's not dwell on how hard it is to become a programmer these days. In my view it's definitely harder to stay one, than to become one, with everything changing so fast. However becoming a programmer is not more difficult today than it was 20 years ago.
The article says we need to take a wider perspective than just healthcare spending, but gives only one example of this with smoking, which happens to be one of the few 'preventative' interventions which both costs money to implement, and reduces revenue at the same time. As such, I am unconvinced of the entire thesis. It also uses a silly example of emergency room use after the ACA - of course after drasticallly changing the number of people with health insurance, there will not be efficient or ideal use of healthcare services. Many of the previously uninsured people probably aren't even aware of the concept of primary care.

The link between health and labour productivity only gets stronger as the population ages. Given this, I would need to see some compelling arguments that keeping people healthier for longer does not actually save money, but none are forthcoming in this article.

Except now React doesn’t have a license issue, so they took a step backward for nothing. Heads must be rolling.
> if they don’t have the right glasses they can develop so-called “lazy-eye” or amblyopia because they’ve never had a sharp image on their retina

I am not a doctor but this sounds strange to me. (I had amblyopia so I have read a little bit about it.)

One eye's vision needs to be significantly different from another, to the extent brain "decides" it cannot merge images and goes mono-ocular.

This trivially happens with e.g. strabismus, when eyes look at different directions. But with poor eyesight corrected with sub-optimal lenses, it would require that only one eye sees significantly blurry image while another eye sees sharp enough (otherwise person would squint or tilt glasses, adjusting for both eyes - so, no reason for amblyopia to develop).

It is not unusual that a person may have different eyesight with their left and right eye (IIRC that's called anisometropia), but I think it must be quite unusual to have glasses that fail to account for this. Even if glasses are sub-optimal, the difference should be consistent, shouldn't it?
>Aside from Belgacom, the agency has broken into the computer systems of the oil production organization OPEC; the Netherlands-based security company Gemalto; and organizations that process international cellphone billing records, including Switzerland’s Comfone. //

In theory any of these countries could surely just issue an arrest warrant for the head of GCHQ and order their extradition.

In view of that it seems there's some other aspect preventing such actions -- like blackmail by GCHQ. Or controlling powers in Belgian security being in part responsible.

Anyway, I wonder how much of this shit the Belgian public will put up with post Brexit.

It still seems illegal under UK law -- these things do show how the powers that be have no respect for the authority of the rule of law, that our democracy is only allowed inasmuch as it doesn't interfere with their plans.
Pity those vultures found him. Another hero we don't deserve goes down...
Yea, even basic programming is not part of basic computer literacy. You are looking a very different and expencive in terms of time to acquire sill set.

Worse, Doctors are often not part of these decisions in the first place. Further there are plenty of doctors with these skills however they don't work for cheap and most of this software is build by people that are paid as little as possible. Remember their workflow is not actually complicated, it's just not helpful when selling this software.

Really, this software is not terrible because it's hard to make, it's terrible because of how it's sold and maintained.

The underlying map data is the "real world", so there certainly is a mapping between the google and waze map data, even if the mapping is non-trivial :)

There are thing like OpenLR, which were invented exactly to solve these kinds of problems.
It might be worth making it precise that you mean "legal in the EU". Assuming that every legal system in Europe that is not in the EU would reach the same conclusion as the EU Court of Justice may be dangerous. As this article demonstrates, opinions about copyright can differ wildly.

What would you use the hydrogen plant for? For the same amount of solar energy, a Tesla is going about 3x further than a Mirai, and a heat pump would provide much more heat your house.
It should be added, and this is important, this sentence is not punished equally because of the country‘s laws, it is because of an international trade agreement which both Europe and America have agreed to. Specifically Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty.

A EU court ruled that it is not illegal to provide a mod chip for the Wii because of “how often [the] devices are in fact used in order to allow unauthorised copies … and how often that equipment is used for purposes which do not infringe copyright[.]“ (from the article).

The US court meanwhile ignored the question whether they could have legitimate purpose at all and just saw it as “a device to circumvent copyright“.

What is interesting here is not that two countries have different laws, it is that an “international“ law is interpreted completely different for an almost identical case by two countries and thus punished completely differently.

I wonder if one is guaranteed to get it with a view or it could happen that you book and end up in a lower floor?
No. You really don't need that information to infer roughly what proportion are affected.

There is very little information out there about specifically which ARM chips are vulnerable, but it's always "High performance ARM designs". This is one of the few references:

> Intel is the company most significantly affected by these problems. Spectre hits everyone, but Meltdown only hits Intel and ARM. Moreover, it only hits the highest performance ARM designs. For Intel, virtually every chip made for the last five, ten, and possibly even 20 years is vulnerable to Meltdown.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/01/meltdown-and-spectre...

Do you really think Apple has been using such a processor going all the way back to the first iPhone and iPad? Not to mention there are far more android phones and tablets than there are Apple ones (revenue !== number of devices) "High performance ARM designs" weren't really a thing until more recently, and they aren't going to be anywhere near a majority used in these devices... Remember what you are comparing this to.

The statement I'm complaining about is already factually wrong by assigning the Meltdown vulnerability to AMD, and then additionally it's extremely missleading by implying equality in it's application to ARM and Intel which is anything but. I'm honestly surprised how many of you replied to my comment in disagreement, I suppose it just shows how well PR FUD works and spreads if it's not dispelled loudly enough. Still I expected more on HN.
Even in the EU, local courts might not always reach the same decision due to differences in local law. But at least the ECJ has set some standard as to what is acceptable.
"too many" is 100,000 IIRC.
Seems very unlikely that ISAs will have to change, the problem needs to be fixed in micro Architecture.

Its unlikely that there are many mass production RISC-V CPU currently in design. A couple are known but they are more advanced research projects.

And hjkl is not the arrow keys' replacement, as many non-users think.

There are a hundred other ways to move around a file, each of which are more efficient than hitting a button ten times. Those kinds of things are what makes Vim convenient (though not having to move your hand to the arrow keys for going one line down is pretty convenient, too).
I use OpenIndiana since its beginning, it's fine but IMHO not there for serious work. FreeBSD with ZFS is miles ahead.

And the CDDL is not fine, as it is not compatible with GPL, which makes it impossible to have it official in the Linux kernel.
To be 'fair', this merely reflects a known major difference between the US and Europe.

Just about any felony is associated with a maximum sentence that is roughly 10 times higher in the US than in Europe. The US justice system is all about retribution, this is so ingrained in the US psyche that ssemingly normal people who think they are humane and have good moral compass will make "don't drop the soap jokes" and basically accept prison rape as normal way of dealing with felons, provided they dislike the crime enough. Even US judges occasionally state in public that they hope that the defendant will die in prison.

People in Europe tend to be more civil in such matters.

Reminds me of a section of Dr. Bartlett's talk on sustainability(https://youtu.be/TBtW51D_q2Q?t=860).
It is very interesting to see how a government is forced to grapple with the financial implications of well-meaning policies. Perhaps this is why preventative care needs to be billed as a cost-saving measure, otherwise you have to justify it over many other life-improving programs(education, law and order, defense, even other medical care programs).

The CBO report cited in the article also highlights another troubling point, the insolvency of our social policies:

"From about the middle of the second decade onward, however, the effects of increased longevity would outweigh decreases in per capita health care spending, and outlays would rise; but until about the mid-2060s, that growth in outlays would be more than offset by the increase in tax revenues from higher earnings. The largest deficit reduction from the health-related effects — about 0.005% of GDP annually — would occur from about 2030 to 2035. After the mid-2060s, the deficit would be larger than otherwise because the higher outlays would outweigh the health-related revenue increase."

(simplified, the taxes paid by healthier, longer-living citizens are not enough to offset the extra medical care they are afforded).
