So NDP is essentially what Commodore did with their 1541 disk drive. That disk drive had a 6502 in there to complement the 6502 in the actual VIC-20.

From what I remember, the IBM System Z mainframes also do this sort of thing and have dedicated IO processors that can decode XML on the fly for you and other fun things like that.
Using a low information mob to attack the people who advertise at the same places the people you hate are posting material - is a shitty tactic.

It has no resemblance of discourse. It’s just intimidation.

Edit: thought experiment... you really think you’d have the same opinion if some alt-right group was using this tactic to shut out people you agree with?
That’s basically what I said...the point is that simple queries on the same keys will never be faster.

"‘I created this character called Katy Perry. I didn’t want to be Katheryn Hudson. It was too scary’" - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jun/11/katy-perry-int...

Was just interesting in the light of choosing Katy as an example.
I've gotten freelance gigs based on my work for my side project, a newsletter called Tedium (https://tedium.co/), though my situation may be different because I'm in this to be a writer rather than a more technical employee.

I will say, however, that writing is one of those things that works better if you do it a whole lot rather than once in a while. Stay in practice. And be willing to syndicate your thoughts beyond your own website. Your goal is to spread ideas—spread them wide.
They have an agenda that is clear but it doesn't mean they should be shutout because the investment they make can help push new ideas forward.
I guess that's fair - thanks. I'd previously stayed away from scrypt as a password hash because of these attacks (although I've used it a bunch as a KDF for other things) - but on reflection I think you're probably right and if this is the worst issue you have you're doing fairly well overall.
And this right here is why Linux never really gets any better.

Someone posts legitimate complaints, someone else comes out of the woodwork saying "works for me!", dismisses those complaints, and wonders why nobody gives a shit about their desktop platform.
> Then you will have to live with being dependent on the whims of another entity. Which means you give up a lot of your freedoms.

That's the state of the vast majority of the population, who lack the system administration and/or development skills to "do it themselves."

Chiding them for not "doing it themselves" is akin to chiding someone upset about their medical bills for not reading to become their own doctor.
> I am genuinely interested in using CockroachDB as a primary datastore but feel like I have been burned too many times by hopping on board with a young database.

> According to crunchbase, Cockroach Labs has raised $53.5m (RethinkDB had only raised $12m). Is there evidence that Cockroach Labs is on track to make money and is going to survive?

I'm in a similar situation: new project, CRDB is a good fit on paper, but I'm unable to get traction even for a proof of concept exercise because of the risk associated with a database backed by a startup. This is at a large, conservative, 300k+ employee company, so I guess it's understandable... but regrettable nonetheless.

See you guys in 5 years ;-)
There is a particular episode where he turns around a chain of family restaurants.

I can't remember the numbers but various locations earnings were something like: +1 million, -1 million, +300k, +100k.

Now he bought it for some multiple of earnings (can't remember but assume it was between 4x and 10x) on the condition that they shut down failing locations.

Note that you don't have to do anything else but shut down the -1 million location and the whole business is much more profitable and valuable.

So I agree with the insights, but I would also pay attention at the outset to how good a deal is, and how small the risk actually is at the outset.
> So the rise in value of bitcoin has made Mt Gox extremely valuable in bankruptcy (possibly more valuable than if it were properly managed from the beginning) and now Mark Karpeles is a billionaire.

Yes it has made MtGox valuable but not made Mark Karpeles a billionaire.

I can't speak for Japanese law but bankruptcies normally have an overseer, in this case a trustee. They control the assets of the bankrupt companies and decide on how the creditors are paid. Creditors include customers, Mark Karpeles, his investors and debtors, if any. So, customers can still approach the MtGox trustee about the payment.

To reiterate I am not a lawyer, but in most cases they might be able to file a suit against the MtGox estate too.
Great!

Sadly not everyone does that.

I do agree there are domains where every ms and byte counts, they are however a small niche.
I've got nothing against E. But I have some ideas about why "we all" kick and scream so much. I think it's got something to do with the way you're packaging your message. If you start with an adversarial tone, there's a good chance the rest of the discourse will go that way too.

And I don't even like javascript.
Yes with Sentry. Also I don't make websites but b2b applications and I can so target the last browsers versions and most of our users don't try to tweak stuff.
HMAC will, hell or high water (assuming you're not doing HMAC-CRC32 or whatever :-)) give you a MAC. (It'll do slightly better; unlike, say, GMAC -- but that's a boring detail for now.)

You can shoot yourself in the foot with HMAC but it won't be because of HMAC; for example: if your messages don't contain a nonce or timestamp they might be replayable or something. But that's not an HMAC flaw.

So to answer your question: maybe? You can get in plenty of trouble with HMAC, but it won't be HMAC's fault.
Developers have a nasty habit of convincing themselves that things aren’t needed when they see them as too difficult. Even if the rest of the world thinks your code is too slow you can convince yourself it’s good enough.

And in a world where we rely more and more on libraries, my ability to improve on a piece of code is greatly curtailed. Sending in the compiler to help might be my best option.
Nobody cares how many dimes those drones cost. War isn’t fought using the cheapest means available, but the most effective. Have you seen the size of the U.S. military budget?

This country will continue to meddle in international affairs and, on occasion, get involved in bloody battles. Such is life. War is an integral part of our civilization and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. You can’t just wish it away.
Yeah, they should probably have censored way earlier to prevent that. They now have to go through with getting rid of the radicals they raised. Or re-open the floodgates, accept even more radicalization and thus even more painful consequences later down the line. Just like most problems, ignoring them rarely makes them go away and you instead loose you most pleasant remaining ways out.
While I appreciate the engineers speaking out, it isn't really practical for a company the size of Google, with the resources it has, to not have programs that work with the military in one form or another.

If, as an engineer, it is against your moral code to do any work that supports the military, your choices are limited to working in small companies where everyone is focused on the commercial products and services you are delivering. And even then, as some games companies found out, the CEO might do some collaborative work with the military for training or something.

It should come as no surprise that Google teams up with the Federal government on things.
...the US military never clashed with Stalin's military AFAIK. Even in the Korean war, the USSR only provided supplies.

That standing up to Hitler also involved a peer partnership with the USSR's military.
By this logic, systemic reason behind "lovesick" teenager shooting former girlfriend is that girls sometimes stop dating boys. Girls should think again before rejecting boys. And black churches should think again about praying, because Dylan Roof had shoot them.

Neither Austin bomber nor Parkland shooter explained why they did it, but whatever they states reasons, the objects of their hate don't necessary have responsibility to obey their wishes.

So no, the "youtube can not demonetize videos" straightforward nonsense is not an analysis of systemic reasons behind this shooting.
Absolutely harder, since a US citizen living in Hamburg can vpn into the US and (presumably) still be covered by GDPR.

So, I honestly don't know how Facebook could possibly make this distinction in an efficient manner. So, as an American, I'm pretty happy.
I don't think it's useful to refer to a military without also including its leaders. The military that fought against Hitler and Stalin and Mao isn't the same military that invades countries and topples governments under false pretenses.
This seems a bit too dismissive to me. The notion of jurisdiction for a transaction or contractual relationship is indeed pretty complicated.

It isn't clear to me that the burden should be on the service provider to discern the legal domicile of a user and to be required to adjust its business practices to accommodate the regulations of their 'home' jurisdiction. Wouldn't that rapidly devolve into every service provider being required to operate within the rules of some extremely complicated intersection of all possible jurisdictions?
So, if I’m following the cloud act, it sounds like I could find an officer (anywhere in the world) that needs $500 and in exchange get everything stored by Google and Facebook for a specific person.

I have no need for such a thing. However it’s not hard to imagine drug cartels or similar organizations using this right away.

Pretty exciting new feature. Surprised they buried it in the patch notes.
To me the lesson from all of this is, this is why financial regulations exist. Many nations have gone through this same thing with their own currencies, and the end result is something like the US FDIC, where properly regulated banks have their balances backed up by the federal government and if the bank goes out of business everyone gets their money back.

Many people I know who are opposed to this kind of regulatory structure have invested in some way in BitCoin due to their lack of regulatory structure, and some of them have been burned by it.

You can hate the guy for his mistakes, but ultimately this would have been far less likely to happen with a stable currency backed up by a stable regulatory body.
If you make a habit of checking GoG first (sometimes you have to be patient for maybe a month), you'll find that there isn't as much of a monopoly as you'd think. Have a look at itch.io, but keep in mind that it's more about indie than DRM-free.
I think that it was actually them manipulating the voting algorithms and it just happened to coincide with a site redesign.
yes your freedom wouldn’t be here if we weren’t drone bombing weddings of goat farmers in yemen (the poorest people in the world). Or maybe if we weren’t setting civilians on fire in laos or cambodia or bombing pharmaceutical factories in Sudan. Where would our freedom be without that?

I hear you, and I want to make a "times change" argument.

This is my perspective, because I read too much scifi: I can conceive of a couple possibilities in 300 years.

1. Humanity is gone or stone-aged. Either because it failed to colonize before being wiped out by disease, because it nuked itself, or because it implemented AI in a way that got itself killed.

2. Humanity has turned peaceful, formed a global community (if not wholly, then at least nearly so regarding scientific resources), and colonized.

I draw such a sharp line because I don't see how the resources to colonize can be mustered without justifying it with an arms race unless peaceful cooperation is established. Without this, I think somebody is going to put a nuke in orbit around Mars and call themselves King/Queen of the inner solar system.

Therefore, I think we should be working towards the cultural changes that I believe necessary immediately. This is why I'm a staunch proponent of universal education, universal healthcare, gun control, etc. I think there's no better time than the present to "be in the race together" globally than now. Given climate change, death of bees, super-bacterias, and narcissists with penis-size complexes holding fingers over red buttons, I see a ticking clock.

Avoid (1) by tackling culture, is my theory, and I think that's what these googler employees are here. (I post this very much looking forward to being challenged on all points)

I think there is something there with the "reality-TV MBA" the article links to.

Lessons from "The Apprentice": the dynamics of leading a project. If you win, it can cover up bad process/bad leadership; if you lose, people blame the person they like least and rationalize reasons.

Lessons from "Nathan for You": outside the box thinking and pushing on rules until they are just about to break spurs innovative and creative thinking, it's mostly garbage ideas but there are gems. Even the garbage can be interesting because people are so used to companies following existing playbooks and being safe.

Lessons from "Shark Tank": desirable companies are in a position to reverse interview investors, basic heuristics for company valuation, financial metrics (COGS, CAC, etc), the difference between products and companies
So, let me hear it from the numerous downvoters: Are you suggesting I'm lying?

Downvoting of simple fact-reporting is slightly too advanced a pattern for my somewhat simple mind.
Well then, Google employees should start with moving out of the US. Because, they seem to benefit and enjoy the safety and security provided to them by the Pentagon.

Grow the fuck up - part of living in a democracy is tolerating the implementation of measures one disagrees with. Republicans might oppose birth control, but companies continue to support it in their health plans. Likewise, a state of the art offensive military is democratically wanted in the US, state your disagreement and tolerate it's implementation
Without defending the morality of the Hitler/Stalin/Mao governments (or of the US government), it's very much worth noting that scientific researched flourished in the USSR and technological research continues to flourish in China. A lot of discoveries in computer science had roughly simultaneous Soviet / US discovery (the Cook-Levin theorem is a good example). There are a huge number of technology companies in China, and all your chips come from there anyway.

So if your goal is "I should further the goals of a military because it provides room for the sort of work I enjoy" and not "I should further the goals of a military because the military does good things," it is not at all clear that backing the US military over those of the USSR and China is the right option.

It is also worth remembering that plenty of people the US killed could have had grandchildren who wanted to work in these same fields.
Sorry, which war are we fighting now, and against whom?

There’s a vaguesly worded Authorization of Use of Military Force, I think, from post 9/11, but, last I checked the US hasn’t declared war on anyone.
China is currently heavily funding genetically engineering geniuses and AI. The US can either wake up or sit around and wait to be subjugated via an autonomous drone swarm developed by 250IQ Chinese scientists
That these Google engineers support a global surveillance network that stalks and spies on everyone while taking a moral stances against military projects is truly laughable.

Keeping "free" nations safe and prosperous is as fine a goal as any.

I don't really understand his sentiment. It's not like he's stealing a billion dollars from charity. The people who lost out will get their money. They were speculators at the end of the day, and I don't really have much sympathy for them with regard to their loses of 10x gains.

I guess he might still be facing jail time or threats from the the community, so he has to put on some type of sympathetic face.
This actually has a simple definitional answer:

If not, no :)
Oh man, is this why I have to complete all this encryption and export compliance bullcrap every time I have an iOS release?
No. This is no protest.

Protesting is great. Civil discourse is better.

Using your twitter gang to side channel attack the people you hate because you can’t make your point in a direct way - is nothing but intimidation.

You have no problem with this? Cool. Tell me how it’s “the American way” when it turns around on you.

A proxy war between assholes and advertisers is good for no one.
Could anyone point me to the advantages of running Java inside a Docker container? It seems to be VM in VM. Why do we need the extra redirection?
Agree. And to that I'll add, it was an ex general and ex POTUS who coined the term (or at least etched it into history):

Military Industrial Complex

Yet most act like that "friendly reminder" never happened. The collective memory is in fact short.
That is mostly due to cost of GPUs having been inflated by miners and perhaps the expense of having a huge monitor.

Neither CPU nor GPU are progressing as fast as some predicted anymore.

Additionally the shift to consoles as stable hardware platforms over time has put a damper on computing power required by economically viable games.

The remaining outlets are VR and huge resolution (same thing actually) - and high quality and fidelity simulations. (Including AI.)
Sorry I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
We also know that independent researchers often invented new cryptographic techniques in parallel with the military.
He's saying that the ideal is zero shootings. Having fewer shootings is good and can be appreciated, but the ideal goal is still zero.

I'm actually a fan of the class syntax, and use it regularly.

>no need to even type function for methods

However, to be fair, you can do this with object method shorthand now:

const deepThought = {
theAnswer: 42,
tellTheAnswer() {
return `The answer to life, the universe, and everything is ${this.theAnswer}`;
},
};

deepThought.tellTheAnswer(); // => 'The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42.'

Which is also quite elegant. I think they both have their places depending on the program. I think it depends on readability needs at the time, and whether an instance is better than just a container in that circumstance.
> While I appreciate the engineers speaking out, it isn't really practical for a company the size of Google, with the resources it has, to not have programs that work with the military in one form or another.

This is nonsense, Google has plenty of revenue and other non-defense avenues for growth.

Companies are not beholden to chase every last dollar, especially if it could alienate their workforce.

I don't have the same anti-defense leanings as others around here, but to say Google has no choice is ridiculous.

Google probably couldn't (and shouldn't IMO) stop the DoD using Android phones if they want to, but they can certainly refuse to work with the defense sector.
Jess christ, I can't believe people here argue that with the straight face. Do you treat other mass shooters and terrorists the same? He shot the school therefore school caused it by not giving him everything he wanted? Seriously.

By this logic, if employer in right to work state fires someone and that someone shoots the workplace, employer caused the shooting.
> it isn't really practical for a company the size of Google, with the resources it has, to not have programs that work with the military in one form or another

Perhaps not, but that doesn't necessarily imply that Google can't pick and choose what technology it sells or provides to the military. They can, for example, serve the administrative needs of the military (e.g. Google Apps), but not necessarily provide technology that directly improves their weaponry.

Hmm, isn't that more of a symptom of a hazardous management culture? I've generally only seen this happen when people were afraid of unreasonable repurcussions.
The US military in fact defended Stalin's military in resettling Germans who were pushed by Nazi Germany to settle Eastern Europe - of course the initial settlement wasn't legitimate either, but somewhere between half a million and two million Germans died in the resettlement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_German...

Hi, I'm on the team that created this lil bot. We're happy to answer any questions about how we built this. :)
I guess that is a standpoint that would be easy to take if all governments were flawless and co-existed in peace.

But history paints a different picture, with events like Iraq, the Kontras, NSA Dragnetting just to name a very select few.

Governments are willfully violent towards its own citizens and others for what is often not much of a reason at all.
