I don't see any mention of Win10Iot on Asus' site, and I don't see any mention of the Tinker Board on Microsoft's Win10Iot site (although they do say that the listed hardware isn't an exhaustive list).
I would be honestly delighted to know through what mechanism you believe collapsing marine fisheries, coral bleaching, the Pacific trash gyre, global warming accelerated desertification, aquifer depletion, topsoil depletion, and a whole host of other issues I can't name off the top of my head are on the cusp of being "solved".

Closest I can get you since all the journal articles are from conservative-leaning institutions with a vested interest against unionization. All three articles are about the new contracts UAW signed in 2007 as the auto industry was collapsing in the United States, all of which cite massive concessions back to the auto companies. Notably, Ford still got to fold 10 of their original 16 plants scheduled for closure, GM got to shift away massive healthcare obligations, and Chrysler managed to substantially reduce their employment guarantees.

If you were a union interested in a happy balance between company and employee rather than just making your employees score every short-term dollar that they could, you wouldn't need to concede like this with one, let alone every, major United States-founded auto maker.

It's worth noting that GM actually got the biggest haul up front since they got the opportunity to negotiate first.
We have one.

Probably not for most problems, but even ignoring the QALY calculations, pathogenic diseases (like malaria) are kind of unique amongst the landscape of global issues right now, in that you can actually permanently solve them with some level of attention, at which point they no longer require any donations but continue to provide benefits forevermore.

Polio is just... gone. We don't need to fight it any more. But that's only true because we (or rather, our governments) spent a whole lot of money over a very short period. If they had spread that money out over a longer period (equivalent to what would happen if fewer people were donating), polio would still be here, and not just because we "killed it slower"—it would still be thriving, because it was only being fought with half-measures. If someone only has enough money to pay for half a course of antibiotics, they may as well not take any.

Pathogens are the best justification we have for "focus firing" public resources toward a single goal. It really is a case of "we should be spending money on nothing else until we've solved this." (At least, if we're bothering to spend any money on the problem at all. 100% or 0%, but don't bother in between.)

Once we run out of "easily"-eradicable pathogens, though, the calculus of comparative advantage resumes, and it makes sense again to donate to a variety of things.
I've only ever had corruption issues on Raspi's, versus with the OrangePi's we have in production at customers sites, I have yet to see any mSD card issues. We do screen our Evo+ mSD cards pretty aggressively for issues though!

One nice thing about Allwinner based SBCs is the strong development community that mainlines support for their chips in short order. Few other chip vendors have mainline support, which makes their boards abandonware in short order.
I thought this letter provided many a great lessons, up until "we write narratively structured six-page memos."

Wow, can any Amazonians speak to this? Sounds like a huge time sink to be writing a 6 page memo instead of preparing a few slides (or writing a 1 page technical design doc)
The world of colors (and who "owns" them) is both odd and fascinating. For instance, Vanta Black can only be used by one artist - Anish Kapoor:

In response to that rule, another artist created the pinkest pink and a competing black ... available for anyone in the world to use -- except Kapoor:

You're entitled to know how much they make from Prime, but not the business specifics (you can't extract information from the profit, either, as not all prime costs the same - there is student membership, month-to-month, yearly, etc)
That's a highly misleading statement. Homeless busing programs are common across the country and while not without their problems, they don't just send all homeless to a single location such as Texas to SF. Also, SF buses considerably more homeless out of its city every year than it receives via bus.
Never take upward stock performance into account in a comp offer.

If you think Amazon stock is going to go up and you have an offer from another company for more money, just take the offer for more money and buy some Amazon stock. Upward stock potential is never a valid reason to join a publicly traded company.
Because there aren't any alternatives that are as easy to use and understand. QML could be if it was available for any language other than C++. Ditto with Lazarus and Pascal. I hear XAML WPF isn't bad, but it strikes me as having the same limitations Adobe Flex had (performance). People here love to suggest GTK, but I've never used a GTK app that didn't look like a Java swing app straight out of the 90s.

Nuklear looks promising if you don't care about "native look and feel". In this age of "web swallowing the world", I don't think I care about native look and feel. Then again, maybe the native look and feel on windows and linux just sucks. All of the gorgeous, yet still fast apps are for the Mac and iOS ecosystems and it isn't because their tooling or native GUI APIs are so much better than everybody else's.
Oh I just meant that when you said "it's always been a better alternative than, say, the magically backed world of Tether," it was pretty faint praise.

OK, so how do we (outsiders) productively discuss Tesla's "flaws" without spending all of our time engaging in arm-chair quarterbacking based on rumors, many of which turn out to be incorrect or incomplete?
Software can be fixed by a large enough number of developers and users. Where the Raspberry Pi wins is community. I've got so many other boards but none of them work quite as well as the Pi.
I've been looking at the new Rockchip RK3399 based devboards. Of note is the $99 Rock960[1]. The major draws for me are the DisplayPort support, so I can use it with my iPad 3/4 display controller board, M.2 PCIe 4-lane, eMMC, 802.11ac. Firefly makes a similar one as well. [2]

The Xiaomi story: from zero to US$16B in seven years
yeah, once you move away from any kind of "it comes preinstalled with a DE" type distro, moving to a headless barebones distro is easy, and you can mostly take your configs with you... xorg is also so frickin easy these days. I've yet to try something even more minimal like arch or.. from scratch! but maybe one day with enough time :)

I think The trick to helping others though is to show it can be done in stages, because trying to learn everything at once is too hard, it's easy to forget how long it took to acquire all of the knowledge and skill that make it seem easy to set up a bare bones linux distro into something comfortable and yet lightweight.

For most people I'd advise: Ubuntu (cos the web will help), then find your lightweight desktop of choice by installing and experimenting along side... then try to replicate it on barebones (or ubuntu server, mostly just involves adding xorg to your install list)... then experiment with more lightweight distros... and if tinkering with your desktop is not satisfying enough then you will no doubt go down the from scratch route as well eventually but at that point you don't need people telling you what to do. The thing that's lost with my seemingly simple suggestion is that you will learn so much by yourself while trying to achieve this, but without sacrificing your productivity.
Whether or not ever more powerful Raspberry Pi computers is a good thing depends on why you are using them.

If you're wanting to put it to some practical application then probably more power is better.

If, like me, it's a hobby, and you enjoy the idea of tiny machines, and the challenge of pushing a computer to do things a resource constrained environment, then tiny and powerful machines like RPi that can run full Linux distros are no more interesting than any other computer. There's nothing particularly interesting about loading and running Linux.

So for the hobbyist wanting to be challenged, tiny machines/CPUs like the esp8266 and esp32 are where the fun is really at.

It's a strange inversion because for 40 years I've always found that the most interesting computer is one that is more powerful than anything else - not so now when pursuing that old school feel.
I tried looking for a video of someone using the app so I could get a more clear idea of the sorts of things it would teach. This is the first thing I came across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsA2bGdrkaQ

I found it interesting to hear the kinds of reactions the kid was having to it: if you skip around the video you'll see the most common reactions are jumping around between distress, frustration, and anger.

I don't think that's because this is a bad app.

Instead, I think that's probably a natural part of learning to program—and of programming even once you've learned. It's kind of a strange thing that something which can bet net enjoyable (oftentimes) can also so typically elicit those kinds of reactions (of course adults are better at suppressing them, but the impact must still be there).

I can't imagine how I'm so lucky. I've used RPis since the very first version and in all these years, dozens of PIs and thousands of hours, I've never had a single corrupt SD card.
This absolutely. While we tech scene folks love to consider ourselves "average joes," Amazon employs around 100,000 warehouse employees, and for them Amazon is decidedly NOT the #1 place people want to work.

It's a fine place to be a software engineer, so long as you enjoy the high stress/low perks part of the tech scene, but that's a very different, air conditioned environment.
plenty of typed languages have reflection. i don’t see how this changes anything?
The cost was definitely a big part of it, I delayed for a long time because it seemed too expensive to me. In hindsight, given how much time I spend typing, it really isn't expensive at all, its just a big up-front cost... I now even use a 3 button foot pedal and love it.

> Pity I work on the road a lot and have to still use laptop keyboards a lot of the time.

Yeah, I use laptops and an iPad too and its obviously not very comfortable in comparison. Luckily I've managed to avoid it a lot lately, but its not always possible. It really sucks when I have to use an ordinary keyboard though and I definitely feel the discomfort :/
I suspect that this one is more like if you were stuck in space with no propulsion and nothing to throw... so you can't move.
Allwinner based boards have mainline kernel support for most features, they're one of a handful of vendors that has mainline support (primarily due to community efforts). I personally like the OrangePi boards due to price & reliability, easy to set and forget without worrying about mSD corruption.

In short, no.

A little more color: Stripe’s incentives are aligned with those of our users in that we want to let through as many legitimate customers as possible. We keep a very close eye on false positives.

Our machine learning models examine thousands of attributes for each payment and make predictions based on how frequently the observed attributes were associated with fraud in the past. The comparison here is never just on one or two or three attributes (as in your example), and no logic is hard-coded.

Honestly, the sad truth about the world post social media is that most people don't read past the title/thumbnail image. In a lot of cases, you could probably just write a title and neat meta description then stick a thumbnail on it, and if it was 'interesting' enough watch it get a few hundred/thousand shares.

If they do get past the title, then in about 99.999% of cases, they sure as hell won't care how well written the actual content is so long as they find the subject interesting and they agree with the conclusions.

It's especially true of the news world, where 'get anything out the door as long as its trending' seems to be the only way to get popularity.
They do not support the Citus extension currently and custom extension loading is not allowed. You would have to run your own Citus install using VMs.
I actually won a Tinker Board recently and was disappointed to find out that, unlike the Raspberry Pi, it has no composite port.

I guess that's something to be expected, it's probably not a very used feature, but I really enjoy being able to play old video games on a CRT, as they were meant to be played.
Tesla has one of the largest communities of shorts, and a normal community of longs.
I don't care how good your black hat is. They probably won't survive a missile to the face. That's basically what the F35 represents.

Indeed: black hats seem to have some degree of "kids gloves" on. It doesn't seem very common for Militaries around the world to respond with lethal force vs a hack attack.

North Korea hacks the USA. Response?? Sanctions. Mostly non-military. Because if we responded FOR REAL, then it'd be seen as an unnecessary escalation. China repeatedly hacks the USA. Again: we mostly have a non-response. Its not worth it to respond with real force.

One day, real military force will become necessary to use (And I hope this day will come long after I die. But... its best to be prepared just in case...). And no number of black hats will be able to make a true military threat to another nation. At best, cyber warfare will be a precursor to actual war: a step in the escalation process.
Is there a reason why everybody just HAS to stick to the RPi's when the BeagleBone Black/Green/Blue/etc. are:

2) No more expensive

To be fair it's almost like gambling.
That's the root of the problem: the borders of movement are at the federal level* (well the 48 states), but the 'solutions' for non-integrated citizens are left to the states, counties, and local municipalities.

Informally, I recall learning that the 'solution' for inhuman insane asylums was to just release everyone and close them down. That's quite probably where a good portion of the 'homeless' problem comes from; there are of course also untreated veterans and just pure scam-artist pan-handlers.

The actual solution is also a difficult and politically impalpable issue:

* national healthcare including drug addition treatment and mental health
* an unending 'new deal'
* + everyone trained to aptitude
* + non-broken-window fallacy job assurance
* adequate housing of actual quality near jobs

Also taxes / incentives (carrot+stick) at a federal level to pay for / encourage the correct behavior from all actors.

NDA situation is getting out of control in the United States.

Almost every employee at every company signs an NDA when they start working. Oftentimes NDAs and other employment documents (Non-Compete clauses etc) are chock full unenforceable information. Most people agree because there's no ability to negotiate these documents, because they don't understand the clauses or because they don't know they're unenforceable.

I disagree. ‘a=[]’ is inconsistent in function definitions today because the rhs is evaluated at interpreter load time but the assignment is evaluated at call time. The intuitive thing is would be to evaluate the whole expression at once (at call time) just like everywhere else.
The cases aren't meant to be opened. I followed some guides on YouTube. Most require using a saw and really sharp knife.
VSCode Live Share Now Available on Linux
Mainline kernel support is a big big issue, and it can't always be fixed by the community. There are a number of well supported Allwinner boards out there at very competitive prices though, we use them in production due to their price, lack of mSD corruption issues, and bandwidth (all the USB/Ethernet ports are directly wired on the OrangePi PC+, no bottlenecking like on the Raspi).
Has anyone got any experience with this one?

The tinkerboard, being backed by a big name like Asus, seems to at least have as good a distribution network as the RPi has built up.

Many of the alternative boards, for all their improvements over he RPi, are virtually impossible to get hold of beyond directly importing from the OEM.

That said, i already have an RPI3B sitting around that i have yet to do anything with.

> It's important to recognize that this is not an exploit or high-tech exfiltration: it's extremely well-documented

This argument was used last time [1]. It didn't work then and it's a silly excuse now.

Users gave Facebook their "name, email address, age range, gender, locale, and profile photo" [2]. Some of them marked those data private (i.e. only for friends). Those data were shared, without the users' informed consent, with third parties through the log-in function.

Documenting a breach doesn't unmake it a breach. And a breach can be a breach without involving any technical exploits. This was a breach.

> Seeing this and being surprised is like watching a teen movie where the gossiper...

People didn't realize Facebook was selling their secrets. That may strike you as naïve. But it's this asymmetry, between specialists (e.g. Facebook employees and technologists at large) and non-specialists (i.e. most of Facebook's users), that drives the need for regulation.

An analogy can be found in lemon laws [3]. We protect consumers from specialists (e.g. car salespersons) taking advantage of the customers' reasonable ignorance of cars. Facebook is selling the world lemons and mocking them for buying.

No, as a random shareholder you're not automatically entitled to all the details.

You are, however, entitled to the following three things:

1) Whatever information they provide has to be actually true to the best of their knowledge; so they can be vague or secretive, but "more than 100 million" has to literally mean that;

2) There's a set of core information that you are entitled to, but it doesn't go into as much detail;

3) Shareholders as a whole are entitled to whatever information they want; they can elect a board that will ensure that as much detail as you want gets publicized. But it's not likely that most shareholders in a public company will consider it a worthwhile decision.

That's a great angle, actually.

Yes, you are right, they use raw lz4 and don't do checksumming there. And I can only find checksumming in superblock code and volume geometry code in vdo repository. So it doesn't look like they do it on regular data blocks at all, probably just assume you have a properly working FTL.

(by the way, sha256 is a slow cryptographic hash, not a checksumming one, like crc32)
