"I know a lot of people who don’t live in rural America are tired of being told they need to understand all these resentments."

Well, nobody needs to do anything. But if you really want to solve a problem, it usually helps to understand it. Overpowering the other side only works for so long.
I very recently came across Apple music and it has given me the best music experience on Android, as in my country, India, Spotify is not available yet and other competing apps are nowhere close to what apple provides. Amazing music quality, availability of almost every song I listen to, very nice UI and an equalizer.

Also, one of the reasons is the very cheap subscription for university students and the 3 months free trial. Unbeatable, yet.

And coffee. Much later, of course, but coffee took us out of our drunken state into a hightened sense of mental acuity.
That's true, but that is not the point of the post whatsoever.
Which one is the true consciousness?
In my fantasy world, I personally always thought of it as a gateway to a higher realm where our consciousness exists.
Creation and release are two different things. They have created the exploits, or else AMD wouldn't be taking them seriously. They have also contributed more to the re-creation of those exploits by others than they have to security. So you can quibble over whether others use the exact jargon that you would have, but that doesn't change the underlying reality.
They're supposed to be able to land and take off buildings I thought?
That's true, but there's a ton of uncertainty with regards to who the "issuer" is for token sales.

And I believe it's 2000, not 2500.
It's "substance dualism" or "Cartesian dualism", if you're assuming that the "elsewhere" is somewhere non-physical. If you're assuming the elsewhere is somewhere in the material world, I don't know if there's a word for that, but its been discussed a couple times -- most memorably in Anathem, the Neal Stephenson book where I stole my username from :)
Sourcegraph CEO here. Happy to answer any questions.

Sourcegraph is code search and intelligence across all your code, integrated with your code host (even giving you IDE-like hovers, definitions, references, etc., when viewing code files and diffs on GitHub/etc.).

In addition to the things mentioned in the announcement, we've been making steady improvements to code intelligence. Check out https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/code-intelligence.

One of the things we see is that basically 100% of devs at Google and Facebook use those companies' internal Sourcegraph-like tools for code search/intelligence, and it makes them a lot happier and more productive as devs. We think 100% of devs at every company should have amazing code search and intelligence.
I feel like AM also has a bias towards hiphop/rap it seems. If you look at new releases (which is pretty broken most of the time as it can go weeks without actually showing updates) it's all pretty much rap. Have to dig into genres just to see something different. Rdio did new releases right. Shame they're no longer a thing.

All of us who shop there pay increased prices (The wal-mart effect is in full force on Amazon -- they're pretty rarely the cheapest).
This is the part I'm always surprised people don't seem to get. If someone makes an exact copy of me, the original me is still going to think "I'm me. That other thing is a copy of me."

So, if the original me has to die for the clone to be created... unless my consciousness somehow jumps to the clone, I experience a death which I do not come back from.
I pay for YouTube red and I still use Spotify. Originally it was because I didn’t like google music’s UI and they didn’t have native applications.

I’m not sure if it’s improved since then.

This guy found a handful of the dumbest people in America and concluded people in rural areas are morally degraded and their problems are their own fault.

The arrogance of dismissing their contempt for the government is overwhelming. Just because they don't express their hatred of the elite class of people who rule them in just the right way doesn't somehow add up to their anger being misguided. They're using "the government" as a lightning rod for the myriad elites who do basically dictate the shape of their lives--the media they consume, the state of the market they could never control, and what options for their future they have. It's not expressed clearly, but it's not hard for someone with an ounce of empathy to suss out.

I could come up with a laundry list of the moral failures of the white rural poor, sure. My family tree is full of people just like this. But this researcher and people just like him cannot see past their own ideology. They want to believe they're objective, but they're not, they're caught up in the same sort of scientistic neoliberalism that can't help but see anyone outside of their elite class as a curious primitive and any other value system from theirs as a totemic anomaly. They want to know what character flaws led people to do such a horrible thing as to vote for Trump, but cannot for a moment consider how it was that we got to this position. Hint: it's not the rural poor's fault.
Sometimes if-else-chaining is what you need. But if you are doing one of n-select, a switch is what you should use.

If you are using Verilog 2001 or later, you can use always @* to implicitly declare all variables a combinational process depends on. It used to be a huge source of latches.

I would also highly advice against mixing blocking (i.e a = x) and non-blocking (i.e. a <= x) assignments in one process. I usually write a single clocked process with all registers and then only have a few extra combinational processes for the logic.

I also recommend separating data path logic (the processing you do) with the control path (the FSM that keep track of what is happening inside your machine).

Never assume values or states is really good. I usually assign default states at the top of processes. Then for other state you only have to define that. It is really helpful in FSMs.

Not claiming to having a great coding style, but if you want some examples on RTL code and testbenches here are my cores for AES, SHA256 and many others:

I was an army wife. I was friends at one time with a former air force wife. She told me that where army personnel generally get a pay cut during field time, the air force gets extra pay during field time. Edit: She specifically told me that where army wives were stressing about money during field exercises, she was out shopping.

A high percentage of compensation in the military is in the form of benefits, making it incredibly challenging to quantify or compare to a normal pay package.
You don't have to speculate. They admit having financial interests in the actual text of their report.
We haven't looked into how sockpuppetry is done alongside attacks, but I presume that it would happen at a smaller scale.

I had written that email :). Pleasantly surprised to see it again. Rachel's advice was fantastic. Even though, I haven't been terribly good at following it. Mostly because two worries have gotten better of me: 1) my writing is shit. 2) no one would care. It won't be discussed on HN or Reddit.

In the recent times, I have come across many discussions to realize that I have written about that very topic. The post I considered worthless is immediately relevant. And that's how your writing arsenal works. It takes time, but you realize that what you wrote was important.

To sum it up: Don't seek rewards, just write. You'll get better at it, too (almost unknowingly)
I always got more of a VHDL for FPGAs and Verilog for chips kind of vibe. Not that there's anything intrinsic in those languages, just the kinds of industries that ship FPGAs seem to gravitate to a DoD specified language.

And can you elaborate on what you like about Verilog?
Step one is defining a target condition. The problem is that people have different target conditions. The enormous rise in inequality since the 1960s [1] makes clear that some people have a target condition of "I personally own everything".

Well, Britain and much of Europe was under an ice cap during the last ice age that ended 8000 years ago. The start of the last ice age was rather quick from a couple of months to a decade some say. It only needs a change of the gulf stream like a massive melt of Greenland and one could start like when Lake Agassiz leaked.
The court is not retarded. Everyone knows what's the purpose of return service. I'm sure no court will have a problem siding with the company if you are a serial returner.
It’s called dualism, and you’re basically proposing a soul in 21st century language. Like a soul, it’s not testable, and lacks any evidence in favor of it, while requiring a new set of assumptions which cannot be tested. You’re also proposing some kind of new physics, which again, is somehow complementary to and yet hidden from current current theories.

Americans seem to have an obsession with embalming of nearly Egyptian proportions.

Isn't a run literally based on the fear the system is overextended and those last will be losers?

Isn't this the whole purpose of crypto? To extend credit when earned therefore not overextended like credit systems?
Actually, I disagree with this premise. It would anger me more if I happily thought that I could do everything 'as is' on the free plan only to be hit with a paywall at the end to finish.

I would far rather see what I CAN'T do up front so that I can decide whether that feature is really worth $$$ to me, or whether I can work around it somehow.
Use Terraform to manage records. They have support for lots of DNS providers (AWS Route53, Google Cloud DNS, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, Azure DNS, DYN, DNSMadeEasy, NS1, UltraDNS, PowerDNS).
But that's my point. I'm not saying that other things don't need version control at all but that many don't need the specialized, heavyweight version control features provided by Git. For many things that need version control (I'm not saying they don't), the lightweight "poor man's version control" of saving named copies is fine, so it will seem puzzling to someone doing only that kind of work why anyone would go to the trouble of learning something as complex as Git when a much easier solution is available.

It's when doing a specialized kind of work with more demanding constraints that you see the benefits that justify the cost of learning and using Git. If you never do that specialized work, the specialized VC of Git might not be worth it. "Poor man's" VC might make more sense.

This is absolutely not similar to any ffmpeg/IM's options. This doesn't change the palette, and doesn't rely on static backgrounds.

Instead, it integrates very deeply into LZW compression to make dictionary matching visually approximate in a way that maximizes compression. The only other implementation of this that I'm aware of is in Photoshop.
Here's a different video with a more in depth look at the injection test. Also, it was "dead bacteria", not a virus, as I previously stated. Nonetheless, even dead bacteria should make people feverish and vomit, as explained in the video. This video does not include the tests with some of his students. That must have come later. They mentioned it at the end.

It’s okay - I’d probably say not worth the cost, but if you’re buying it as a toy it’s fine.

Siri is bad - can’t tell me calendar information. When I say “play kqed fm” she fails because I didn’t say “play kqed”.

When I ask her what podcasts I have she can’t do it - if I name a specific podcast it’ll work.

She’s bad at pretty basic stuff and it’s irritating to use as a result.

Is that really the reason? If you are heading west because you want to farm, wouldn't it be better to leave in winter and arrive in time for planting season than leave in summer and wait 9 months to plant?
- Nobody is forcing you to use Apple's music service.

- Not using Apple's music service doesn't prevent you from loading your own music on your phone.

- Apple happily allows other products (like Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, etc) to be installed and used on the device.

- Music apps and services still happily play out over your device over your output of choosing.

- ... and the list goes on.

Very, very far from anti-competitive.
I'd be more excited if this weren't so tame. The Nord Modular had genetic algorithm patch mutation well over a decade ago, details starting on page 99.

The Hartmann Neuron took a similar approach with neural networks in 2003: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/hartmann-neuron

I mean, well done and everything, it's a good project, but Synthesize Brand New Sounds In Ways Never Before Possible!!! is a pitch that synth users hear year after year (pun intended). It turns out that musicians don't like black box patching all that much, but prefer morphing things in parameter space because being musicians they want to interact with their instruments, whether that's timbrally, melodically, or harmonically.

Electronic musicians in particular don't need More Sounds or even More Oscillators and More filters and More FX - sure, those are interesting, but honestly people are already spoiled for choice. What people like most is an instrument whose timbral range may be limited but which has a strong center - secondary characteristics remain largely consistent as primary variables are manipulated, so oscillators don't thin out at higher or lower ranges, filter Q negative feedback gain isn't damped so aggressively that it changes gain structure and so forth. The nicest thing an electronic musician can say about an instrument is not 'it can make so many sounds' but 'you can't get a bad sound out of it.'
The examples you list in your second paragraph start with real problems that rural people experience for themselves and then move towards what are essentially conspiracy theories about national politics. There's a break with reality somewhere in there, and it's causing huge problems for them and for everyone who shares the country with them.
From my understanding, many FPGAs do not have a dedicated reset distribution network. Instead, P&R consumes a ton of resources to propagate resets across the chip.

My information could be out of date though!
Agreed. Many ICOs have been securities offerings.

Not all of them have been, however. Ethereum was arguably not a security. It's not necessarily a security offering if you are putting something up for sale that has a value of its own, or will have a value when the transaction occurs, such that people buying the thing are not expecting to get anything like a "return on investment", and are not expecting to somehow profit from the work of the company who is making the sale.

Consider Kickstarter-style presales: the people who buy these offerings are buying a product, not investing in the company. If you were, for example, just selling a token where the token has some intrinsic value (such as enabling you to pay for distributed compute or storage), and where you're clear to buyers that there's no expectation of any kind of return, just the token's intrinsic value, then that's probably not a security.

I believe I also read that there are requirements that the thing-you're-buying have value at the time the transaction takes place, though I'm less sure about this. If you take presales for a token that doesn't even exist yet, with a plan to fund actual development of the token off the presale funds, then that may be a security. If the token that you sell has value at the time you sell it, or will have value at the time the transaction takes place, then that's probably not a security.

If you read the Ethereum project's presale materials, they were very careful to stay within all of these boundaries, from what I can discern. This is my layman's analysis of securities law - IANAL.
How then do you explain how physical injuries and external stimulation to the brain affect the brain's operation in ways that we increasingly understand? Not saying we're anywhere close to having it all figured out. But this is the sort of question you have to address to accept dualism. I'd certainly like to believe there's something more to my conscious existence than this perishable gray matter.

I prefer to believe instead that I'm a character in an MMORPG. But if that's true, my consciousness still resides within the simulation. At best, the entity controlling me has some superset of my consciousness. At worst, my consciousness is still totally disposable, and my player is just interested in a fun ride.
In Apple's keynotes, they often claim that they "love music". But their app misses some basics that people who actually love music might like to have: To be able to sort music by year (and have year of release not be year of reissue), exclude various greatest hits reissues if you want to 'discover' an artist's works, and not default to shuffle when you haven't used the app for a while, because I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'd like to listen to an album in the order that the artist put the songs in.

It would also be great if syncing your own music to a device actually worked without issues (such as not copying the entire album, which you inevitably discover later, on the road). I stopped listening to music on the way to work because of all the roadblocks the app put in the way.

It's utterly beyond me how the largest tech company in the world can't sort basics of their their UI out, over periods of years.
If they had their trials and found guilty they should be either imprisoned in a federal prison or sent back to the country they come from. How are they "stateless"? There were not born in the middle of the ocean. From what I remember it was a mix of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Yemen.
> If you cloned me while I'm sleeping and I never knew about it, you could torture and kill the other "me" and I'd be none the wiser

If I tortured you, then healed you and removed your memories you would be none the wiser as well. Does that mean I weren't torturing you, but someone else?

If I cloned you, tortured your clone and killed it while you were asleep, then merged his memories to you - was it you who I was torturing or not? Why is the difference meaningful?

Programming isn't very good analogy, because there is no definition of conciousness, so even if we recreate the problematic situations in some programming model - we still don't have any answers. Example:

You can serialize an instance of a class, delete the instance, then deserialize it. The memory address will be different, the == operator in some languages will return true, in many others - false, but there's no one answer if the object is the same or not when it comes to conciousness. There is no clear analog of pointer identity in real world. If we had evidence of souls that would be it, but we don't :)

Some GC languages can move objects in memory when the application is running. Is this the same object? What does this say about conciousness? Nothing IMHO.

When GC moves object in memory and updates all references to it - is this the same object, or a different one? What if it created a pool of objects, serialized object at address 1, loaded a different object there, and deserialized old object from address 1 to address 2? Is the object at address1 or the object at address 2 the old one? The pointer equality isn't very useful here.

> for whatever definition of me that I have, it involves this particular instance of conscious experience

Then sleeping is the same as death.
Nah, it was too awkward. The guide wasn't very old, and could have made an error.

Of course it could have been different material, but the cave is still there.

Let's Encrypt is developing this feature but it might be a little premature to call it "standard"—it's not specified in the Baseline Requirements and I'm not sure whether there's any CA that has announced it as a part of all certificate issuance.
> AMD doesn't have the power to prevent publication of research from third party researchers that haven't entered in an agreement with them. This definitely isn't insider trading.

Correct, though this assumes AMD has yet to reply. If AMD did reply after the initial disclosure and before any trades were made, then the order of events which may warrant such a look would be:

- Private Disclosure made.

- AMD replies privately with anything substantive. This could include a timeline, or even an indication that a fix may take a while.

- Trades made.

- Public disclosure made.

Should events follow this sequence, trades made would have been informed by private knowledge from AMD that had yet to be released.

I'm not saying this is how it played out, but if it did, I'd suspect some amount of legal exposure.
Thanks for the pointers!

Actually, the first thing our professor taught us is when exactly to use blocking and non-blocking and that they should never be mixed.
