I'm not saying it was them, but I wouldn't be surprised if Intel was trying to recover its reputational damage by hiring ppl to heavily research breaks in AMD chips to even the reputational playing field. They're the ones that stand to gain the most from this legal but shady tactic and have been reportedly scared of losing their long held market dominance in desktops and servers. Iirc AMD wasn't vulnerable to Meltdown which I speculate changed the market calculus in ways detrimental to Intel that both companies would be well aware of.

Interestingly, you'll note that the researchers claim public interest as their reason for non-standard practices, but then later it is revealed you need admin privileges to exploit them. The rhetoric the researchers use is inflammatory and staged in a media savvy way like a PR campaign.

This is a totally evidence free assertion and I'm not an infosec person (and am therefore happy to be set straight by experts) but I'll be happy to crack open the popcorn if something interesting is revealed a few years down the line.
Yeah, one terabyte is simply an absolutely gigantic octal value, with a trillion place settings.

Perfect for storing a quantity of high resolution “unique numbers” which you might need to recall at some point, when you want to match them up with other oddly similar (but not precisely equal) high resolution unique numbers.

I hear that you can convert images to “unique numbers” using a technique known as “lossless compression” but that stuff’s all way above my pay grade.
It is complex indeed, specially for borderline cases. Looks like my son is landing on the functional side of the spectrum but it is always a coin toss. He will be 5 in May and is doing great attending a regular school although he is fortunate enough to have a dedicated tutor with him in class.

This a bit like AI. It's 2018. Where are your vertical farms? You want to talk efficiency, soil on the ground will be more efficient than soil in the air for at least the next 50 to 100 years.

Eventually we'll even live in starships and colonize distant planets if we don't kill ourselves first, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that will not be our defacto mode of living in my life time, and the same goes for vertical farms.
Also, does every animal with a brain have a dualist mind out there too? What's the limit? Does a worm with a few hundred neurons have a non-physical mind connection? Does your digestive system with its millions of neurons have its own non-physical mind out there too?

Startup Investor School
I tend to feel the same way, but would happily throw in a couple of changes (which when you multiply by thousands of people, makes a lot).

In general, I'm happy supporting a company that pushes the bounds rather than fretting over every little detail. If something doesn't work exactly as documented, I probably found a rather unique case. I'd rather struggle with the problem for an hour and suggest a fix, than have X, Y, or Z company pay someone to spend countless hours finding every possible edge case.

----

On top of that, there is a hugely beneficial conversation that often arises from the opening of issues. I've found that one of the best ways to engage in a meaningful discussion with a company is to open an issue on one of their code repos. Engineers are often more straight to the point than "marketing" or "business" types.
I was notified about investor school from y-combinator's channel on youtube and ended up binge watching.

As somebody who has been trying to break into angel investing, I found the startup investor school invaluable. It was great to learn from some of the top names in the field, and I hope to be at the next investor school.

Ask HN: How decentralized networks should handle EU Right to erasure policy
Hi Friends,

The EU regulation at:

http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-5419-2016-INIT/en/pdf

On its "Article 17" on page 141, details the "Right to Erasure" for EU citizens. It requires that data controllers remove data from EU citizens on request. How decentralized p2p networks are supposed to comply with this? There is no way to force deletion or erasure of data on networks like that. Specially if we're talking about blockchain-based networks where data is being added to the chain.

Can some lawyer chime in? This a big issue for adoption of decentralized protocols by a larger audience.
Uh oh, looks like my tech writing career is under threat (so of course I'm posting with a bit of bias here). A wise move on amazon's part though, offload your work on to users who will improve the docs for a couple of reasons:

1. They can add their contributions to their resumes.
2. They use the software and more than likely reference the docs, and so are already stakeholders that desire the content to be correct and so will happily fix it given the chance so that they can save themselves headaches in the future.
3. The general concept of 'open source' is very enticing and is almost always has a positive connotation, so very few people will see that this is a clever way to cut costs and net free labor and not really the virtuous public gesture of transparency and good will a lot will perceive it to be.

This would be different if, like actual open source software others could pull the thing and conceivably make a better version of it and compete, but since this is necessarily bound to a product that's not going anywhere outside the organization, it's de facto always going to be free labor for amazon and never going to promote potential forking out of modified versions of the project, further securing the companies foothold in the market as well--after all, if you no longer have to pay folks for all the extra bits like documentation, support, and maintenance of internal libraries, you can have nothing but a horde of devs working on the user-facing product, and ensure all of your money goes toward nothing other than squashing the competition. Sure you could argue it's still technically possible for someone's fork to gain bigger traction than the official amazon repo, but cmon now, the project is so massive and is so bound to the company that such a scenario is highly unlikely. On the plus side, open sourcing is a boon for archivists were the main content to ever disappear (unlikely).

I realize this sounds a little bleak, and I'm sure amazon also has good intentions with this move, but I can't help but see the potential for future markets where a lot of free labor is snagged under the banner of 'open source' simply because people are shortsightedly seeking resume boosts and not realizing that contributing labor freely will more than likely hurt the job market in the long run.

Not saying you shouldn't contribute to open source, nor is the idea of open source a bad one, but I think the lines get a bit blurred when it comes to open source projects owned by private (massive, in this case) corporations who are then gaining from the work of outsiders without needing to compensate them. Sure, helping out looks good on your resume, just as unpaid internships do--but at some point we need to take a look at these practices that can be, whether intentionally or not, ways of sidestepping the proper dispensation of wages and compensation for labor.

They may still need to pay somebody to green light merges, but that's a lot less costly, I imagine, than paying a team of writing professionals.

I'll respond to your tu quoque with some very relevant quotes.

Charles Darwin: "There is no fundamental difference between man and the higher animals in their mental faculties . . . The lower animals, like man, manifestly feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery."

Leo Tolstoy: "A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral."

Carl Sagan: "Humans–who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals–have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and “animals” is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them–without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just too much like us."

> Which form of trolls from my post are you talking about? I insist that we not pretend these are the same group of people.

I haven't found it particularly wortwhile to distinguish people who are saying terrible things to troll, or because they believe them. They're very often the same group, because reasonable, emphatic people are going to neither say nor believe those terrible things.

If you cannot carry a conversation with consideration for the other people in it, I do not want you in my community.

> There were plenty of reasonable conversations on Reddit before Conde Nast took over and dropped the banhammer.

I perceive Reddit as a very good example of the kind of community I _don't_ want, because any deep, complex, or otherwise not aligned with the popular discussion is impossible there, so I'm afraid we're at an impasse.

> But the alternative you're proposing is an echo chamber

Luckily, I haven't proposed an alternative, so it's rather interesting what imagined alternative you're making that statement about...
A GPS itself uses a Kalman filter to combine the position estimates from many satellites as well.
They are often confused for each other, but I tend to think of ADHD as “ASD lite”. They have some of the same issues with focus and attention (esp with hyperfocus) but kids with ASD tend to show a lot more sensitivity to sensory perception. Loud noises, bright lights or uncomfortable textures become emotional outbursts. Hyperfocus also tends to be more of a constant state with ASD and can lead to emotional distress. Kids with ADHD get mad when they don’t get their way; kids with ASD get mad when they’re uncomfortable and don’t know how to express that or deal with it.

It all depends on the severity of the ASD though as to how constant it is.

I do almost feel a diagnosis of both is redundant though.
Wow. A lot of sites are going to get owned.

While the dollar value of AMDs incentive is without doubt larger - the existential value of the smaller amount incentivising the researcher is likely more motivating...
I don't think you should be able to win that lawsuit against the doctor unless there was actual negligence on doctor's part.
I think most HDLs are approaching the diminishing returns of abstraction already. Most of the electrical characteristics are already captured in routing, setup and hold times so while you may not directly interact with them anything more than the most trivial design will be constrained by them.

By "under the hood" I was referring to the constraints you have on what you design. In the software space we are mostly constrained by memory(huge), network speed(blazing fast), CPU time(tasks running long normally don't break things).

In FPGA/ASIC land those constraints are much, much smaller(kB vs gB) and there are many more(thermals, power, hard cycle requirements, etc).
Very cool! It’s awesome to see such a clean design of the separate parts here. I have high hopes and will try this out tonight.

If I had a terminal illness, and I had the option of having a healthy twin come into existence with all of my memories, goals, and creativity, I'd spend anything on that option. It's a shame if there's some sense it's not "really me", but what I care about is that my friends don't get a me-shaped hole in their lives, that my responsibilities continue to be taken care of, and my goals keep getting met in the way I hoped I could do.

The scam described is called "wardrobing"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardrobing

>Wardrobing is a form of return fraud. It is the practice of purchasing an item, using it, and then returning it to the store for a refund.[1][2] It is most often done with expensive clothing - hence the name - but the practice is also common with tools, electronics, and even computers. To prevent this practice, some stores make certain items, such as wedding dresses or Christmas decorations unreturnable. Some observers classify wardrobing as a form of shoplifting.

Presumably your mom didn't make you wear the unwanted clothes for a few days before she returned them.

Vimium provides mostly generic shortcuts for all websites. We find that there's a huge potential for better shortcuts on popular websites like Messenger and Google that are tailored towards the app.

For example, Cmd+Enter sends an emoji, whereas there's no alternative on Vimium iirc.

YouTube should add Wikipedia citations next to every video. It should be an information resource and not source of disinformation.

"How do you know?", "What are you going to do?" "Everyone is different so we can't know anything for sure!" are very much defeatist, knee-jerk responses to someone doing something extremely important:

Presenting what the problem is.

The first step to solving a problem is understanding it. It's not solving it. Trying to solve a problem immediately is like trying to write code before you fully understand the requirements.

If you lack the mental fortitude to simply look at a problem without having an immediate solution to it, you're not going to be able to solve major, ugly, nasty, uncomfortable problems like this.

But, inevitably, these problems will show up and knock on your door. Running away from them is not a good plan.

On a lark, I just forked the repo for the AWS CLI user guide and added some commits that introduced subtle and not-so-subtle errors. Let's hope my fork never shows up in search results. Otherwise, people are going to be making curl requests to r/tacobell to download the AWS CLI Bundled Installer.

If this collaborative-documentation initiative were launched as an Amazon-hosted wiki, editors or mods could shut me down. But since it's open source and under a Creative Commons license, Amazon has essentially no control over how much I vandalize the content.

Fortunately for AWS, I'm not really interested in vandalizing the content or misleading people. But the fact that someone can create a knock-off site riddled with errors, and Amazon can't claim copyright infringement if the site plays by the Creative Commons rules, is concerning, isn't it?

Edit: I know, I know. It's already possible to make unauthorized copy-pasta sites. But at least Amazon would have the ability to threaten the site's owner or hosting provider with copyright infringement claims. That option disappears when you release your official documentation under a Creative Commons license.

It's absolutely subjective, eg as a simple example I love the 303 and you may hate it but adore some other model. But I generally understand a comment like to mean both that the person likes the timbrality of a particular instrument, and that one won't 'lose' the sound of a patch while tweaking.

I'm not sure how to articulate this. I have synths that I can program in my head because I know the architecture really well and when I imagine a sound I can walk over and dial it in from the front panel and get more or less what I expected, plus I can then tweak the results with abandon and for musical satisfaction. Then I have others (sometimes from the same manufacturer which emit all manner of nice sounds but are far harder to program and easily veer off into sonic mush - technically impressive but not really fun to play.
> If I were to design UI, I'd design it like how aviation does cockpits.

You seem to not understand the difference between designing UI for professional use where a user has to spend countless hours learning where each button is compared to an app for general population where users have to figure things out on their own.

Try to put an average joe into a jet cockpit, he would not understand a single thing, and he should NOT. You have to emphasize the most used features and elements with bigger font or negative white space in order for people to better understand where they should start and then walk their way into deeper understanding. In a fighter jet cockpit most of the buttons have identical look and it’s impossible to get started without reading a manual.
You don't get "free speech" on Youtube. Its not a government censoring you. Its a private company doing whatever they want on their private website. Same with Facebook, Twitter, etc. The only public spaces online are decentralized ones, and even then you are subject to nodes actually accepting your peerage. If every Mastodon instance deems yours toxic and blocks it you can't cry fowl of censorship to anyone.
We also help users discover shortcuts that are already on the app, and centralize all of these shortcuts in our panel which can be accessed by Alt+/
We've implemented this with inputs and other Chrome extensions in mind, so it should work with Vimium. Our shortcuts mostly use modifier keys so that it doesn't interfere with anything else.
