The Chinese haven't been able to clone the Russian engines yet. Metallurgy at those levels is very tough. And Russian engines don't match what's currently used in US fighter aircraft.

Passenger jet engines don't really map to fighter engines. It's like comparing an F1 race car with a Volvo semi.
People said almost the same thing verbatim before WW1...
What you and lots of other people (including me, until very recently) tend to miss is that high standards are one thing. High standards at scale are another.

What precedent do we have for standards at such a large scale? How many examples of organizations that have achieved that size do we even have and what do standards across those orgs look like?

This applies to software quality at unprecedented scale as well.
From the big players there's also Azure (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/postgresql/) and Amazon (https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/)
Eh, I find these comparisons of "X on local SSDs" vs "Y on networked storage" completely meaningless.

Even worse:

"DISCLAIMER: this benchmark script was not validated and certified by the Transaction Processing Council."

Of course. Try certifying it and see if it still stands.

Look, there is like a billion db vendors trying to push their ware every year, every month. Many of them fake the benchmarks (like, not writing to the permenant storage at commit). Which is why we have standards. So let's report standard TPC-C numbers.
Long story short most other boards are not really cheaper if take into assumption that your time is not free.

Unless you enjoy hours of wtfs googling and trying to figure out why does this thing does not do what you want it to, then you are spending a few hours to save a few bucks. You can judge how rational that is based on your hourly rate. Just because RPi is popular it's way more likely that somebody has already solved given problem for you.

So the only argument would be that other boards are more powerful. Does that really matter in 99% of use cases though?
You have a point insofar as child psychologists can advise parents about general best practices and diagnose what might be beneficial for their specific child. Giving the OP the benefit of the doubt though, I think he has in mind that this refers to a group of self-styled experts who aren't all that steeped in the research, and probably can't separate the wheat from the chaff because they don't have the training to interpret or critique it on its own merits, let alone having conducted any under peer review. They probably haven't put in clinical hours under multiple layers of supervision. The kind who are more concerned with credentials as a means to self-market and profit from their "brand" than as a badge of scholarly accomplishment and continued contribution to the field.
Australians may wish to refer it to the ACCC if Facebook offers them a "take it or leave" choice. Even if the laws regarding unfair consumer contracts turn out not to apply, it would be interesting to get the ACCC's formal response on it.

Also, FB revenue and users are increasing - which indicates they are not seeing any downturn like what you are talking about here.
Just speculating but it’s possible the block level is faster because it’s replicated over a dedicated and optimized SAN rather than (potentially) contending with normal network traffic. I assume the database state would only be crash consistent though.

After learning about light interference creating the iridescence of butterflies and of CDs, I wondered whether you could burn a CD to control the structure of the CD to change that interference enough to, say, draw an iridescent image. However, it looks like the writeable elements of a CD are a too large. With a Bluray though, it might be possible... I haven't tried and I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about doing it.
Even without US aid via Lend Lease, the only chance the Germans had against the USSR was if they had managed to capture Moscow and Stalingrad quickly. Once they failed to do so in the fall of '42, their fate was sealed. The Russian economy and population was too large and strong. The Germans were at the long end of a logistical tail, and weather in Russia (as Bonaparte found out as well) is a bitch.

The only thing that would have saved Germany was if Japan had fought the Russians in the Far East. But after the Battle of Khalkhyn Gol (1939) where the Soviets handily defeated the Japanese, this wasn't going to happen.

I just answered your question. I even quoted your question first, so you could readily see.

> What information are we creating and what is this one-way that we can not go back?

Hash functions are one-way functions that create hashes.

> Do you mean to ensure that the information can not be destroyed after it was created?

You seem to be commenting on the wrong subject or replying to the wrong comment. "I" do not mean to ensure anything with Bitcoin's PoW function, since I am not Satoshi and did not design Bitcoin. However, Satoshi designed Bitcoin's PoW using a one-way function. If it were not a one-way function, then Bitcoin's PoW system would be broken.
The assertion in the excerpt is not that people didn't have anything to say. It's that the anonymous sources declined to put their name to their claims:

Not only can chaos be exhibited in fully deterministic systems, it can be exhibited in absurdly simple systems. The logistic map is an incredibly simple iterated function that exhibits highly chaotic behavior.

It remains one of most mysterious things in mathematics, as far as I can tell. Studying it has consumed a lot of very smart people's careers.

This whole Facebook debacle has certainly helped me see some "bubbles" more clearly. I've encountered plenty of people who hadn't even heard of the recent Facebook privacy issues, let alone actually care. There are plenty of people who don't even follow the main news headlines, let alone pay attention when it gets political or technical.
The idea is to have the satellites communicate directly with each other, keeping the number of ground stations to a minimum.
For something called the "Tinker Board" you'd expect there to be lots of documentation, and for the RK3288, it does not disappoint:

This is on par with what TI offers for its OMAP series, and a great deal better than anything Broadcom has ever released for its RPi SoCs.

I remember around a decade or so ago, Rockchip was one of the main producers of PMP SoCs, mainly the RK26xx and RK27xx series (Actions was the other popular one), and there was a community around firmware-modding those PMPs, including, appropriately enough, porting RockBox to run on them. It's interesting to see them "growing up" in the market.
This was really coming from practical experience, but no offense taken.
Measuring Imagination with Functional Network Connectivity
Could you write to us to speak in more detail about the business seeing a majority of churn due to payment failures? That’s surprising to us; we’d love to help you debug it. My address is my HN username at stripe.com. We’re keenly aware of how SaaS math works and are as enthusiastic about your business growing as you are.

It’s possible you’re using our Billing product, which gives subscription logic out of the box. It’s also possible you’re not, and have rolled your own subscriptions.

If you’re using Billing:

We take into account that it’s a repeating charge and special-case that for fraud detection purposes, because it’s highly unlikely that a happy customer decides to become a credit card fraudster N months in. We can also do dunning (automated recovery of subscriptions) via email, so a single charge failure shouldn’t result in you losing the relationship.

If you’re not using Billing: we have a way to mark a charge as safe when you present it via the API, which you could do on e.g. established customers. (On the charge creation request, pass in {"fraud_details" : {"user_report" : "safe"}} or whatever the equivalent is in your language of choice.) You can do this for any charge where your business has prior knowledge regarding the transaction; we'll both a) respect the decision and b) update the fraud model accordingly. Note that your customer's bank is the ultimate authority on whether a charge goes through; they may decide to decline it for a variety of reasons even if you and Stripe believe the charge to likely be good.

You have a business decision to make regarding what you want to happen in the event that all automated systems fail to get a user back to a happily paying state. One option is to automatically cancel the subscription. I recommend you don’t do that in a subscriptions business, unless you have very, very tight margins (e.g. physical product not SaaS). We expose an option in our Billing product to keep the subscription active even if it isn’t being paid; we’d probably recommend you use that option and only cancel subscriptions on an explicit user request. This is a particularly important thing in B2B SaaS, where price points generally give you enough of a budget to get in contact with substantially everyone who churns and where it’s very easy for a single person associated with an account to e.g. ignore a few emails about it accidentally without having the intention to cancel.

A common format is posed as a "Press Release" for the idea as if it existed, with quotes from customers — even if it's purely an internal service, the downstream teams are your customers

The documents are fixed length to 1, 2, or 6 pages for different purposes/stages, and reference data goes in appendices that don't count. It's also impossible to be hired as a senior contributor or any management role without submitting a writing sample, which gets reviewed in the hiring meeting along with everyone's interview feedback.

You have more than 128 bytes of memory. MUCH more, considering what's available :-)

- The I/O chip has a register or two used to store the direction of a bit in the port. If you don't care whether the port is reading or writing, you can use the direction register as a byte of RAM.

- The stack pointer is essentially useless most of the time. You get another 8-bit register to play with, and it even does auto increment/decrement for you, if you're careful about side effects.

A cow-orker of mine at Atari (we were in the Atari 800 games group) decided to learn how to program the 2600. I think his motivation was partly the massive bonuses and royalties that 2600 programmers were getting for shipping their cartridges (our division did not do royalties, and it barely did bonuses). Over four months I watched him mentally deteriorate, and he finally gave up. [Six months later the company folded, more or less, and we both wound up working for Jack Tramiel].

Yeah, the fact that anyone could make a fun game on the 2600 was kind of a miracle.
Not necessarily true. The F-16 can't lock on with AMRAAM, so it would have to rely on 9X Sidewinders, which might not be able to lock on via IR depending on the initial engagement. The F-35 does have some IR masking (not as much as the F-22), and it will have the 9X Sidewinders as well.

And F-35 test pilots have continually said that the ACM performance is underrated. Sure a "clean" F-16 might be able to outmaneuver an F-35, but F-16's don't fly clean. All their shit hangs off their pylons, and cause drag etc. So it's not clear who would win. If you factor in all the sensors the F-35 has, and the fact that it will almost always get first shot on the Falcon, it's no contest. In Red Flag etc, the F-35 has dominated the F-16.
I still use it and love it. Unfortunately I have to deal with a lot of email and the batch selection (; key) is huge for me.

I find it quite convenient that all of the best database systems I've used (Postgres, SQLite, Redis) also have the most boring webpages, and the worst databases have the most trendy webpages.

I could have saved a lot of time, over the past 20 years, if I'd simply followed the rule: Is this the most boring webpage I've seen all week? Yes => it's going to be a good database.

I'm working on a simply Yocto image that will autoplay a music video. It will serve as a nice test camera source for the medical device recorders I develop.

In a train I have to physically go to the train station, park my car, walk and find which train/subway to hop on, sit next to other people on a crowded, confined space, possibly get off and get on another train going to a different destination, get off the the train and walk/ get a rental car to where i want to actually go.

Compare the above to hop in my car, drive to the freeway, turn on self-driving, turn off self-driving once i get off the freeway, find parking near where i'm going and walk in.

As a society, we've done alot more in the name of convenience.

Uh, no. Ask the Iranians who were able to capture an RQ-180 UAV. These sure aren't controlled on the 2.4 spectrum. And today's drones are meat for a manned fighter once they're detected. Clubbing baby seals is one of the terms used...

And before someone chimes in about drone fighters, that's a good 20+ years out.
LinkedIn is well known for their use of “dark patterns” in the past, so yes they are probably lying.

The customers of LinkedIn are recruiters. Over time they have removed most of the value for anyone else.
Better people doesn't mean they have to be a product. Better people isn't even really how I would phrase it. More like lining your child up to have a better life.

It's something very hard to optimise for because what a good life is doesn't really have a strong definition. Is it quality of life in objective measurements? Comparative to your peers? To your upbringing? Is it having many itches and being able to scratch some of them? Having few itches and scratching them all? Is there an authenticity component ie in a hypothetical situation where you could matrix yourself and have a better life than your real one would you? Is 'meaning' a thing? Is it still meaningful if you create arbitrary need for 'meaning?

People have different measures but they pretty much all have measures.

Given that acquiring whichever mixed bag of "good life" things you believe in is almost certainly going to require certain modern life skills, I don't see any reason to attribute it to productisation of people. Just parents looking out for their kids interests.
> not Turing-complete programs with race conditions.

I know it's common, but please stop calling reentrancy bugs "race conditions". Smart contracts don't observe concurrent modification of state by other contracts and aren't internally concurrent. Solidity and the EVM object model have way too much implicit behavior, which can lead to unexpected control flows, but these unexpected flows aren't the result of other threads coming in and mucking up state.

Calling a simple reentrancy bug or spookily unexpected control flow a race condition lets the Solidity and EVM designers off too easily. Concurrency with shared mutable state is always difficult, but Solidity makes even simple single-threaded reentrancy difficult to get right. (On a side note, I'm a big fan of Actors/shared-nothing concurrency and think raw threads are almost always the wrong abstraction to expose to application-level developers.)

I also totally agree that Turing completeness is overkill for 99% of use cases, leading to bugs in simple contracts and makes analysis very difficult. If you really need Turing completeness, you could still explicitly construct it within a sufficiently expressive declarative non-Turing complete execution model via externally triggering repeated contract invocation. (For instance, a Brainfuck interpreter that advances one program step per contract execution.) The ecosystem would be Turing complete without contracts being Turing complete.
It's no biggy. Plenty of artists consumed way more heavy metals, 10000x more than kids licking legos. And most didn't become mad hatters or suffer any real issues. The limits we set in medicine are much lower than what may manifest as biological damage. Better safe than sorry, right?
You need also ergodicity and mixing, as jessriedel states, meaning respectively that you explore every area of your phase space with equal probability, and that two trajectories that begin arbtrarily close together do in fact diverge instead of sticking together, at infinite time

I doubt it. I've read the 66 page standard and I remember something about "records required for business", ie transactions, tax info, etc. I'd argue employee conversations would fall under the same umbrella.

So, is there more to YInMn blue than mixing proportions of these elements and kiln-firing them in a crucible?

Because if that's all there is to it, then what's to stop me from experimenting to find the best proportions and personally violating any patents, for my own DIY projects?
Do you believe in the rule of law, or do you expect everyone to take the "moral high ground" (however you want to define that) all the time just because they should? Pick one or the other, but not both. Hint: one of the two is a fair and practical approach; the other is a pipe dream built from excessive virtue signaling.

Should Facebook be 100% held responsible to the law? Of course.

Should some laws be updated/created to help fill gaps where we might need more privacy? Possibly.

Should Facebook be held to some nebulous moral standard of what some people want but don't have the will power or public support to codify into law? Absolutely not.

Too powerful? If people actually cared more about privacy, then either the law would get changed (which is happening in some places), or Facebook would lose market share and be forced to make changes from market forces alone. No need for governments to arbitrarily pick winners and losers.
This read like an autobiography for myself. Wow. Reading this was a trip down memory lane. Thank you :).
Actually, many BASICs will do this. What's unique about the 2600's IF syntax in this situation is that it's functioning almost like a ternary operator.

I don't remember having that realization, but I do remember realizing that whomever created a thing always had a particular purpose in mind when doing so.

That prompted me to spend more time considering the intentions behind something first, and as a result understanding came much quicker. This applies especially well in computer sciences, but it extends to all things man-made. Even beyond that if you're religious, I guess.
And in 20 years, you might have three fighters. By then the F15/16/18s will all be out of airframe life. And if you try to build a stealthy, VSTOL capable fighter bomber for the Marines and the British, you'll end up with, voila! The F-35B...

We're stuck with a less than optimal aircraft; but it's still the best we can currently build. And we need to recapitalize Marine aviation as well as provide a stealth aircraft for the Navy and AF. Otherwise there's just too many areas they won't be able to penetrate with the Teen fighters.
