OoO and speculative execution are largely improving performance based on dynamic context that in most real world cases is not available at compile time. They are able to do so much more efficiently than software JITting can due to being implemented in hardware. There is still no sufficiently advanced compiler to make getting rid of them a good strategy for many workloads.

Most of what OoO and speculative execution are doing for performance on modern CPUs is hiding L2 and L3 cache latency. On a modern system running common workloads it's pretty unpredictable when you're going to miss L1 as it's dependent on complex dynamic factors. Cell tried replacing automatically managed caches with explicitly managed on chip memory and that proved very difficult to work with for many problems. There's been little investment in technologies to better use software managed caches since then because no other significant CPU design has tried it. It's not a problem LLVM attempts to address to my knowledge.

Other perf problems are fundamental to the way we structure code. C++ performance advantages come in part from very aggressive inlining but OoO is important when inlining is not practical which is still a lot of the time.
Once again, this throws more money into continual, expensive enforcement, with no end in sight.

I've used Kubernetes a massive amount during the last two years for running stateful apps. In contrast, I do recommend it. Yes, it is challenging, since stateful app are. However, the challenges are all well worth solving in the context of Kubernetes (great benefits from health checks, automated reproducible deployments, etc.). The situation is pretty good these days in my experience; at least, a lot better than 2 years ago!
I think at this point we're quibbling over the definition of "how much" it can tell you. I think "median of $70k, mean of $150k" vs. "median of $70k, mean of $1.5M" carries a lot more information than just mean or just median, even if it doesn't approach a full summary of the distribution's shape.

>You have no right to use AWS, so this is not censorship in the legal sense.

I guess you meant "duty" instead of "right"; and respecting the sovereignty of other nations means they can block any site they like or even internet itself if they desire, but it doesn't mean we have to allow local companies to comply with laws from those countries.

>As you note, private companies are typically free to do as they please in free countries...that's kinda the point.

That's not the point at all; lets put it this way, companies are NOT free to poison the water we drink or even poison the water of other countries drink just because their governments tell them to do so.
There may be seismic reasons.
There is a tiny minority of primary care physicians ("Lyme-Literate Medical Doctors") who will blame any fatigue of unknown etiology on Lyme disease and/or other tick-borne diseases, despite the lack of any clinical signs like the classic red ring or commonly accepted lab results like antibody assays. They prescribe powerful antibiotics on a long term basis, despite the severe side-effects and the complete lack of evidence that such treatments are helpful.

I blame this problem on the fact that some maladies just don't have any answers yet, but people want to provide them. For some, it's chronic lyme. For others, it's biofilms (Cf. the Marshall protocol), subluxations (chiropractic), or unbalanced qi (reiki).
I think the downvotes are unwarranted, but the point being made is that in a land-scarce environment like SF, a developer would pay out the nose to buy your single-family home, tear it down, and build something with higher density... if the land was zoned for it.

Sure, once this happens enough times, and supply starts to meet demand, you're absolutely right in that a single-family home's value will drop when it's adjacent to an apartment complex.

(Then again, it could also be quite valuable to someone who wants a single-family home when the norm becomes larger complexes.)

Also note that the current value of your home is driven almost entirely by artificial scarcity. There's nothing intrinsic about it that makes it worth so much.
The level of patent / trademark infringement disagrees a bit with your statement.
Mosquitoes thrive as far north as Alaska. The risks drop outside the tropics, but essentially every human on the planet gets bitten at some point.
AWS is not siding with oppressive regimes, what's with the misleading political slant?

They don't want customers breaking terms of service, whatever those terms are, and especially when it means the rest of their customers are affected. It's not a single company involved here and they're looking out for everyone else they serve.
While on the surface this sounds like a terrible idea, their technique for working out what to show you is actually pretty clever.

> The browser will download a list of recommended links each day. Each link will also have a list of related websites, with similar kinds of content to that in the sponsored links. The browser will then compare these related sites to your browsing history; if there are lots of matches, Firefox will assume that you're interested in the recommended content and show it to you.

That said, I don't think it's a smart move from a PR perspective, and the majority of Firefox's hardcore fans are going to rage against this, because it's exactly the kind of thing these users are using Firefox to avoid.

> The inequality of wealth distribution widens, because less and less crums fall behind for the poor to pick up.

One of the best ways to increase your value in the job market is with education.

Poor people have more and better educational opportunities today than at any point in time. Between libraries, universities, colleges, free online resources, etc. the opportunities are growing faster than ever.

So if you consider access to education "crumbs" then I'd say there is more rather than less.
Sounds bad.

Remember, a VC is just someone who has convinced someone else to invest their money for them. Most money is invested wisely with smart, upstanding VCs, but bottom-feeding VCs seem to be able to find money to invest too. Because there's so little regulation, the dodgiest VCs are worse than, say, the dodgiest real-estate agents.

The victims in this situation are the VC's LPs, whose money may be ending up mostly in the partner's pockets rather than wisely invested, and the employees who work at these doomed companies. The LPs are in a position to complain and/or sue, but they may not be actively managing their money. In that case, their money will just go on hurting people. Sad.

Having capital turns out to be a big responsibility. It can do a lot of good if well-invested, or a lot of harm if badly invested.

Well, you're clearly thinking deeply about this and you seem to care. Which is great. I've been digging in deep on this the last few months so I have some thoughts. Respectfully (srsly), I think you might be misinterpreting the legislation (this resource is provides more concrete examples of how you should interpret it).

For example, Article 17(1) lays out the MANY grounds upon which a Data Subject can request erasure. If ONE of the mentioned criteria is met including the very broad Right to Object (Article 21) then it must be erased. 17(2) states you must fwd this request on to other online orgs. 17(3) provides the exceptions for which a Controller can object to the erasure.

It is important to note that the spirit of GDPR is one where Data Subjects rights (to their data, to object) are the default. Sort of like innocent until proven guilty. This is a big shift for most companies who would contend that they own the data & data exhaust from use of their application.

As for compliance demonstration... yes, this is still a mess. My only suggestion there is that if you're working with software companies, try to study what the leaders are doing and take some inspiration. https://www.enterpriseready.io/gdpr/preparing-for-gdpr/

Happy to hear your thoughts. Genuinely interested in other people's perspectives on this.
I'm not saying I agree with his stance, but I think it's important to mention Dave Winer's concerns re how the ongoing transition to HTTPS will affect older sites. Many of these played an important role in the web's rise to prominence, but could lose out if HTTPS becomes the baseline for trustworthy content.

Some can be moved - Let's Encrypt has been a great help to this effort - but many others can't. Has there been any discussion within the Registry or Search teams about how to address these kinds of situations?
Interesting, hadn't considered a different bicycle shape so that it looks like it isn't empty at a glance. Will look into this.

The delivery is totally possible, it doesn't really even take extra tech. The key insight we've found is that cities don't really care about helping make delivery cheaper, but they deeply believe in improving transportation. The city planners we've spoken with love this because they want to be free to design cities that aren't car centric, and to do that they need a massive shift from car usership.

Big tech benefits/savings over autonomous car computing reqs; it can stop on the side of the road if it gets confused, if it crashes no one dies, our speeds will always be low

And what is personal data? this problem exists even without the GDPR, my question is does the GDPR make it law in the EU. In Google Docs if Jill shares a document with Karen and then Jill deletes her account Karen will lose access to the Jill's document. That situation doesn't map to the real world where sharing a document meant Jill sending Karen a physical copy. Personally I consider it a bug given it doesn't fit expectations from the real world. If a document shows up in Karen's files it's Karen's copy of that document. Karen shouldn't have to track which docs are actual copies and which are still considered Jill's.

In any case given it's possible to delete Jill's data from Google is Google required to delete the document from Karen's account even if Karen has made a copy? Where is this covered? It's not really Karen's copy, both are Google's copy. It's on their servers.

This is not trolling. This is trying to understand the GDPR.
Exactly. This works because the point of TLS in this instance is for the Signal client to be sure it's talking to Amazon CloudFront. The certificate for an Amazon service also hosted on CloudFront is certainly good enough to prove this, provided the client knows to expect it, which it does.
As a renter who has lived in the bay area for 14 years (last 8 in SF), my interests absolutely align with those of the newcomers who want to move into the area or city. I would love for more supply which would lower the rent I pay, and also make it more financially safe for me to purchase property.
>Run BART the short way between SF and SJ

That sounds miserable. Caltrain has much more reasonable rolling stock (i.e. with seats) for that trip.
Someone just did that in this thread!
I'm d’accord with that. I think many comments here have a misconception of efficiency versus flexibility. For me it breaks down to:

- Big companies are: More efficient but less flexible

- Small startups are: Less efficient but more flexible

Big companies are more efficient because every employee has a narrow field of responsibilities. They are dedicated to just a few tasks and can leveradge from focusing their minds on just one thing (e.g. a web developer who is just responsible for programming his mobule). Compared to a small inefficient startup, were every employee has a broad spectrum of responsibilities and needs to refocus his mind often (e.g. a web developer who has not only programming tasks, but also system administration, setup/deployement, UI design, customer support and cleaning the coffee machine and fixing the printer).

Small startups are more flexible because everybody can directly give new ideas to the boss, everybody has knowledge about the whole company and how everything is tied together and changes to processes or infrastructure can easily be adopted.

I think this situation is not a bad thing. Big companies and small startups live in symbiosis. Startups are flexible enough to produce new innovations. Then they either grow big (implement processes, standards, hierarchies, etc.) or get acquired by a big company. However, big companies are not flexible enough to produce new innovations but they have the resources to found spin-offs / create new startups.

Interesting analogy you pose.

I’d like to offer some amendments....

Pretend that everyone helps with cooking dinner. Then, when the food is served, the person who owns the house gets most of it, and you have barely enough to keep you from being hungry.

But I think you’re right - it is a societal problem, and probably hard to fix (in practicality if not in theory).
That Lamport and his current company are using TLA+ does not surprise me ;-) AWS is interesting. Before jepsen and similar stuff we used to have to take the vendor's word on a lot of claims. Hopefully the attitude there is changing towards more public self-verification (releasing stuff this) and then independent external verification!
But usually only for first offenses (which in my experience still automatically fail that class).

It's really not that much of a stretch. Population-wise, Cincinnati is roughly comparable to Hamburg or Budapest, which have had thriving subways since 1912 and 1896 respectively. What's interesting here is America's general disinterest / incompetence in building them, New York excepted.

Balbix is the network security company to watch. We are competing with 1,400 computing security companies and analysts don't know how to describe us because we are doing something that doesn't have an existing category.

We've built a network security platform that predicts where breaches in a corporate network will happen, suggests corporate security priorities, suggests prescriptive fixes for observed security issues, and acts as near real-time network inventory. We are bridging the gap in computer security resources/skills while improving the efficiency of IT teams. The product is largely built, we already have several huge customers and are aiming for the stars this year.

If you want to work at scale, on fulfilling work, supplying a vital security function to some of the world's largest organizations, give us a look.

The problem with the SF and the Bay Area is that home owners actually have fairly strong ownership rights to the land surrounding their home. At least in the sense of being able to stop anything being constructed there.

You can think of it as an interesting experiment in collective land ownership.

Since forming in 2015, Relativity has built the world’s largest metal 3D printer and completed over 100 rocket engine test fires on our quest to build our own rocket constructed almost entirely of 3D printed parts. The custom-built rockets launch Earth-orbiting satellites with large payloads (i.e. a satellite the size of a small car), six times the size of its competitors’ abilities. Relativity stands apart from other launchers in the space by not just employing 3D printing as a supplemental technique, but for over 95% of major components.

We recently announced the close of our $35 million Series B financing in March 2018, led by Playground Global with full participation from existing Series A investors Social Capital, Y Combinator Continuity and Mark Cuban. We're looking for a variety of roles, including Director of Additive Manufacturing and a Director of Software to expand our leadership team as we grow. These roles will include program management and technical leadership for their respective teams. All roles are onsite at our Los Angeles headquarters.

Additionally, there are a variety of engineering roles open on our website: https://www.relativityspace.com/careers/.

The conceit here is that you must be "authorized" in order to write an app that puts the domain in question into the SNI field of a TLS connection that it initiates. I don't think that's reasonable.

It is of course up to Amazon what their servers then do when presented with such a connection, in particular whether they ensure the Host: header later presented matches the SNI data.
