I have a Thinkpad Edge from 2009 that is still working "fine", but it has very little in common with a real Thinkpad. My rationale for buying it for 1/3 the price of the mechanically robust real thing was that I was capable of handling it gently, and wouldn't cry if it got stolen or crushed. It's my expendable travel laptop, not my daily driver. For the same use-case today, I'd probably get an off-lease refurbished Thinkpad rather than a new cheapo.
When someone visits your home, they are your guest, and they treat it as a privilege to be there. If they don't, you kick them out and don't invite them back.

It was Broadcom CEOs privilege to be a guest in the White House, not the other way round.
I do feel a little bad about this comment--it's probably overly snarky. Maybe he won that 250 grand playing poker from a small nest egg that he earned at a minimum wage job. And he isn't claiming to be sharing the secret of success--he's just sharing his experience, which is valuable regardless of his beginnings.

I don't know. Something about this rubbed me the wrong way, but it probably says something more about me than about him or life in general.

No, I meant the Apple Store. The one that is nice online and in the mall. The design of the App Store and the iTunes Store are not so nice, and the multiplicity of stores is confusing. My proposal is to consolidate the online stores under the one brand that has good design and thus has earned good vibes with the consumer.

(The Apple Store is not exclusively for Apple hardware. They sell third party stuff from phone cases to expensive DJI drones).

I am faced with feeling pressured to add a CoC for one of my own projects in order to apply for funding. I am unsure what to put up. It seems like a massive task to me.

Aren't there problems with FP16 support being far from universal, and many GPUs having far less FP16 throughput than FP32? In some situations FP16 is definitely a better choice, but I don't think it can be given as a blanket recommendation.
I wish that hour-long podcasts weren't an hour long. They are often too unstructured and slow paced. I think with some editing for pace they could be winnowed down to say, 20 minutes. I don't have time to sit around listening to an hour long podcast, especially not every day and multiple different podcasts!

I remember the old giants robots ruby podcast was about 20 minutes and covered 3 topics (not sure if I'm remembering correctly though, it's around 40 minutes these days). http://giantrobots.fm/
Well, it's not quite that simple. A Deist theology basically posits that the universe was created by some entity that exists apart from the universe and doesn't interfere with the workings of the universe. A multiverse theology basically posits that the universe exists in some entity that exists apart from the universe that contains sufficiently many such universes that the improbability of our own universe is immaterial.

In terms of complexity, both theologies necessitate the existence of a space which is inaccessible to our own measurements. You can't favor or disfavor one over the other since there is no distinction in explanatory capabilities, and the complexity exists in an immeasurable state. In a sense, both theologies basically state that the universe is the way it is because it was made that way, and the means of that making is described via effectively bullshittery in both cases.
(Fiction warning):

Riffing off that a bit, I think back to this illustration of spacetime - https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time#/media/File:GPB... - and imagine a black hole being a place where that fabric is punched through. as if spacetime is just resting on another universe. Where things get massive enough, they punch through and the matter begins to drain away. We don't know what the rate of flow is, though.

I like this because referring back to the comment about not being able to see enough matter - we know black holes aren't massive enough to account for all the dark matter - but, what if the discrepancy of observation vs expectation gave us some idea of what the flow rate through black holes might be?
Well... downvotes are definitely abused. They're not supposed to be used to express disagreement, and they are. All. The. Time. And it stinks to be on the receiving end of that.

But I'm not sure that they should be eliminated. The alternative is to leave moderation as the only way to deal with bad (abusive, off-topic, trolling, unintelligible) posts. I'm not sure that having people flag every bad post they think they see, and letting the moderators sort it out, is really the optimal way to do things.

This was a better post than I was expecting. It's written from the heart, and from a non-dismissive standpoint. Worth reading the whole thing.

I really liked the example about accessibility. It's a great point—organizations should be honest with themselves about what they can actually offer.

I disagreed with some other parts, in particular the part about how a lot of orgs aren't actually prepared to handle harassment complaints professionally. While that's definitely something to work on, I think that's something that's going to be true for many orgs regardless of whether they have a CoC. Not welcoming people to come forward with complaints is... probably worse, right? Or am I missing something?

I'm probably missing something here, but why wouldn't performance regressions still be detectable via utilization metrics? I understand the difficulty of determining resource allocation a priori, but I'm not sure how this relates.

The problem is not that the topics themselves are toxic, but that only one point of view is identified as such. I only mention these "flamebait" topics as examples, not to discuss them or choose a side.

Gamergate

Gender Equality/Equity

Affirmative Action

White Privilege

The various subjects in James Damore's recent memo [note, he was fired for honest, sourced feedback that was explicitly requested of him]

Politics in general (especially anything remotely pro-Trump or pro-Republican)

If you pay attention to dynamics on reddit, for example, certain sides tend to be stifled, regardless of any potential merits. I am not choosing sides, just offering examples where certain opinions are immediately identified by communities as toxic, and no discussion is even attempted.

Hell, there is a growing movement among feminists, at least a vocal minority online, which claims that our modern concept of masculinity is "toxic."

The very word is turning into a catch all for "opinions I don't like," which seems to happen any time one attempts to censor information.

Finally, consider this: if the topics I've brought up are so clearly, as you claimed, not merely "differences in opinion," then why do they attract such heated discussions, with contributors on both sides, even on HN?
Yes, you agree that they're "toxic" to communication, which I stated. But I wouldn't say they, for example, reduce "enlightenment"; they're a product of not being "enlightened" (for whatever measure you use).

All of these are products of the failings/weaknesses of humanity, not causes of them. Their presence is to be expected and crops up in everybody, not just in some "toxic" subset of people that can be excluded.
>The basic idea is that most multiverse notions arise naturally out of lower level mechanisms.

I think this is the part I don't understand. I have heard no evidence-based explanation for what lower level mechanisms cause our universe that imply a multiverse.

>Say all of our experiments are explained by Theory X. Then positing Thoery X + God is a model with strictly more moving parts and equal explanatory power as Theory X alone.

In pricipal I agree with you. In this case I think we disagree. In my mental model, Theory X in this case is the multiverse. At which point you say X + God is more complicated and I agree. I think instead of X + God as the explanation it should instead just be God. In which case I don't see an objective way of saying if Occam's razor would favor multiverse or God.

Walmart.com shows your in-store purchases whether you like it or not
We have long known that Walmart is tracking your purchases, and that they are trying to compete with Amazon.

Now, they will share your personal, in-store purchases with whomever is able to see your browser window.

I found this out when I walked out of the room & a friend got bored and decided to use my laptop to find who was selling a specific amiibo, and when I came into the room, he asked, "hey, why did you buy XYZ?". XYZ was just a food item, but this was CREEPY, that walmart was showing last week's in-store purchase ONLINE, without my permission!

I had not visited the walmart.com website in a LONG time, so I most certainly didn't expect to still be logged in. But, more importantly, I didn't expect my private purchase history to be laid out publicly, either, on the main walmart.com front page. The most important thing is, though, WHY CAN'T I TURN THIS OFF?!?

I turned off "Personalized Experience" under "Your Account > Communications and Privacy", but the "Ready to reorder?" block is still on the front page.

Any ideas of what I should do next?

Well, it's already been done for LORD:
http://lotgd.net/

I can see other ways you could do that generically for every door game:
1. Run the game in local mode inside a DOSBox running under WASM in a webpage.
2. Run a classic BBS software in DOSBox using nullmodem and a virtual FOSSIL driver and have a telnet server listen and redirect connections to BBS nodes (you'd need multiple nodes). There seem to be already classic telnet BBSs doing exactly that.
3. Run a more modern BBS software like Synchronet on a modern OS and shell out to DOSBox with a nullmodem connection (and possibly a FOSSIL driver) every time someone creates a connection.

Options 2 and 3 are much more computationally expensive, but they will gave you proper multiplayer if you share folders correctly between the nodes.
If you use Netflix through something like Xfinity's over the top system, it should go to a live EAS alert. If you're using it through a browser, it will not. If you feel this deserves attention, I'd suggest contacting your legislator to introduce legislation to require it (as Netflix and other streamers aren't going to implement it without regulatory requirements).

You'd probably want said legislation to cover any over the top device (Chromecast, Fire stick, Roku).
If the physical media are indeed floppies and CDs, these guys will need to take into consideration high share of corrupted data. I know, I know, this is not what the project is about, but without it, the outcome will be more theoretical than practical.

> The shortcoming, IMHO, is the abandonment of politics. HN is the ideal place to solve that problem

No, it's really not, as HN demonstrates most of the time it interacts with politics.
In cases of brainwashing and terrorism, it's important to acknowledge that is no longer what we commonly mean by democracy, because free consent of the people is impaired. Majorities who do not give their consent can and are being subjugated.

Here's a simple thought experiment:

Me to a group of five people: "Everyone, give me a dollar." Group: "No."

Then, I pull out a gun. Let's repeat the conversation:

Me to a group of five people: "Everyone, give me a dollar." Group: "OK."

I'd call that coercion, not a reasonable use of the word democracy just because they all technically gave their consent.
Two problems:

1.) You're not catching all the white turkeys. You are catching 9 white to 1 grey because that's the distribution of the population the turkeys wandering into your feed trap come from. Often your traps(small startup) will contain 10 white turkeys and zero grey turkeys when you check them.

2.) Women are not an untapped market.

No, it is all policy-driven. Japan's passenger rail companies are private businesses. The U.S. used to have the finest passenger rail too. But then the feds subsidized interstates, which collapsed U.S. passenger rail in the 1960s, and in turn nationalized the private companies into Amtrak. So the government killed the opportunity to reinvent U.S. passenger rail. Amtrak is a disaster, it is grossly undercapitalized and forced to maintain massively unprofitable long-distance rail.
You can use any of those methods to configure a Mikrotik router, you don't have to use Winbox.

Winbox has a couple of nice features over the web interface:

- the ability to connect over raw ethernet (rather than IP) which is useful if you've misconfigured the firewall or routing tables

- the ability to broadcast packets to discover new, unconfigured Mikrotik devices

Winbox has previously downloaded components from the router to enable the UI to update the available options based on the firmware on the device. These components are part of the firmware update provided by Mikrotik, which is itself signed and verified before the firmware update is applied. But yes, they were missing a follow up check between Winbox and the router itself, to ensure the router itself was not tampered with.
> I bought a T540 3 years ago that shipped with a Bay Trail processor.

You didn't. Bay Trail is an Atom and there has never been a ThinkPad T with an Atom chip.

Not to mention that the 40 generation didn't have a T540. It had a T540p with various Haswell CPUs from cheap i3 up to i7 4700MQ. ThinkPads always ran wonderfully with Linux. It is the only with a p, all other T5x0 machines from the T500 to T580 didn't have a p (performance) postfix.

I do not think there was any ThinkPad ever for that matter with an Atom chip but here I might forget some bad apples. But certainly not in the T and X2... series, these are flagship business class machines.

Maybe some Ideapad? Yoga? Flex? whatever 2-in-1 -- but who cares about those.
Good. So many of these ‘winners’ lives are ruined almost purely from disclosure.
I literally hoard good condition X220s, dreading the day when they're no longer fast enough for my needs (hopefully a long way off still). It's the last (going by manufacture date) laptop I enjoy using. The keyboards are superb, the build quality is excellent, perfect compatibility with modern Linux distributions and the battery lasts 4-7h of real world use (6 and 9 cell versions, respectively). You can get models in perfect condition for 300-400 euros on eBay, and they still make new keyboards, batteries, etc. for them. It's the perfect laptop for those of us who dislike chiclet keyboards, the thin > all design fad and all the other maladies of modern laptop design. With Sandy Bridge i7s and 16gb RAM, they're powerful enough for my needs and thankfully let me write and debug AVX-capable code (with the usual profiling caveats associated with the SB architecture).

As for open boot, I understand the X220 supports both coreboot and libreboot, but I don't use either, so I can't comment on it in detail.
What nonsense. Now any unilateral measures can be imposed in the name of “national security”.

I agree coming from the perspective of somebody who has a computer science degree and 5+ years of C-style language experience... but maybe you should consider the learning curve here for somebody who only has experience with web dev. Getting used to typing, compilation (though I'd argue Intellij makes this mostly invisible, and akin to a linter), not having the DOM (and getting used to Android's XML layout system instead), strings.xml, and other shenanigans would make things hard at first.

I think if you want to make a lot of relatively small projects, web dev might be easier for a while. But as your projects start to scale up in size, having proper inheritance, compilation, a type system, etc. has growing benefits.
Indeed--you can still map it onto the torus but the lattice doesn't line up neatly; you get irrational spirals that cover the surface.

But, since this is in the context of Trane and Lateef, I think ET is a reasonable assumption.
> "This is okay for exploration, but which data structure from java.util.concurrent am I going to have swap in here when it's all done.

That just doesn't work for most concurrent code. Often you have dependencies between data structures or other operations intervening. Most of the time it isn't a single structure, but a group of semantic operations across the program.
