Exactly! It's the difference between losing money on a macro-level and losing it on a micro-level. You can't lose money on every transaction and make it up in volume, as the old joke says. But you can make money on every transaction and choose to invest it in expansion, so that you lose money overall.

Domain registrar and DNS for a company are too critical and fragile to go cheap on.

For personal, hobby, one-off marketing domains; sure go cheap.

But for something you earn money from? Go with highy recommended providers. Registrars with a secure administration, good track record of customer service, high reliability, etc.

Also spread the risk around. Don't have domain, DNS, and services with one provider. E.g. register domain with Gandhi, Hover etc, use DNS from Cloudflare, Route56, etc, and host with GCP, Heroku etc (for example).

And use several providers if you have multiple domains in case one implodes. That way not all of your domains disappears overnight.

And as many have mentioned already on this topic: Have well documented, well practised renewal processes, and renew for multiple years if possible.

I don't know the origin specifically, but it's been happening for some time (~decades) in GPU & graphics circles.

We've had 'compute shaders' e.g., https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff4...

The purpose from this perspective has been to differentiate general purpose computation on GPUs from fixed-function pipelines and/or graphics-specific functionality. The history of using GPUs for general purpose computation involved a lot of hacking to abuse hardware designed for rasterization to do other kinds of calculations.

One keyword / search term you can use is "GPGPU" (which stands for general purpose GPU). Here's another article which might shed more light on the history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing_on_g...

* Also found this possibly relevant note: "When it was first introduced by Nvidia, the name CUDA was an acronym for Compute Unified Device Architecture" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA)
The IPA is nowhere close to sufficient for realistic speech synthesis, and style transfer is not just copy and paste. By the same token writing poetry is just "putting words into grammatical constructions that have certain patterns" or mathematics research is just "a form of proof search".

Of course we don't have human-level AI right now, but if that's the only thing you're claiming it's pretty vacuous.
How to Set Up Miners for Monero (XMR)
My real issue is the constant wheel-making impulse, that leaves us with a shattered landscape of people tripping and falling over busted-ass and abandoned wheels. I have a JavaScript front-end project that uses three different package managers, and four different make-analog tools, plus some batch files sprinkled on top to orchestrate the common use cases of this monstrosity. Nothing that we are doing here is that complicated, except for this sea of shitty half-baked ecosystems around these tools, each of which was considered best-of-breed at one point.

What we want to do is slurp some text files up, apply some transformations to them, glob them together, run them through the minifier, and dump them into a final output. This is exactly what a decent makefile would fit well for. Instead, I got this, because apparently nobody wants to use anything that isn't the hot new way to do things, and so very few people have even had enough exposure to know that there are tested tools for these kinds of things that existed. The last time I was using make beyond trivial uses was a decade ago in college (incidentally, I actually did build jars with make, easier than fighting Eclipse...). But just knowing that something exists is more than half the battle, although the problem then is that it's frustrating as all hell watching the same ideas cycle round and round and round every couple years.
I have seen this narrative parrotted quite frequently, but it's false. GDPR isn't as crushing as people currently feel it is

You’re saying this based on what exactly? Have you actually been in charge of trying to comply? I have. For us, it was going to be a 7 figure endeavor (upfront, and then 6 figures/yr for ongoing compliance, insurance, etc.) and we are pretty small (a few million visitors/mo spread across several sites). We made the decision to just block EU traffic, even though we have been advised that GDPR probably doesn’t apply to us anyway. I can’t have one of the 28 countries that GDPR applies to randomly decide that it applies to me because they’re a little short on tax revenue that month, then have an expensive legal fight that will end in a multimillion-dollar fine anyway.
> The king of money-losers, of course, is Amazon, which went years without turning a profit. Instead, it plowed billions of dollars back into its business

Because Amazon isn't about making short term profits. Amazon is about becoming the middleman for as much of the economy as possible by facilitating the transformation of the economy into its network/computation intermediated version. Amazon isn't so much a money loser as it is an economy absorber. It has been that since before day zero. That idea predated the notion that Amazon would sell books.

But in any case, giving local government the power to arbitrarily deny access to national infrastructure is a terrible idea, and it would allow local government to override any national foreign trade strategies, amongst other things. There's lots of major exchange points on the west coast, should the cities where they're located have a say on what packets they handle? Do you think your requests should be dropped if the City of San Jose doesn't want to serve them for you? Because that's no different than this.
I am sorry if it came across as a personal attack, I didnt want to imply that you are personally negligent or unqualified to make that call. For all I know it is your job to make those policies at your place off work. The problem is a User with this attitude whos job isnt to make that call.

Strictly speaking, If a user in a workplace where this behavior is against the security policy acts like this or expresses this opinion, namely, that they wont be stopped by a security policy to hold their presentation, they are a user group that arent just a possible attack vector but a possible attacker them self.

If your company forbids the usage of USB ports, they do that for a reason, whether individual users think that is reasonable or not.

While it may be taboo, I think it's important to add context to her impact. Her 'contributions' were more than a 'sad story'. She was a Black woman who was experimented on without consent and without compensation who created one of the most important cell lines in medical research. 'Contribution' implies she did it willingly. 'Sad' implies it was unavoidable. These were deliberate acts grounded in racism and sexism to rob an American and human being of any reasonable sense of dignity. The fact that she happened to have remarkable genetics is a key leverage point that can remind people of the importance of ethics, not just science. It's extremely important for that to be a part of the headline, not just a detail if you click through to the story.

jessaustin, I don't often see more than a movie or two per month, but back when I had a MoviePass (before they cut the price so low!), I found myself seeing movies I wouldn't otherwise have bothered to see. When the marginal cost is zero, it becomes a lot easier to drop by a theater and see what's playing, and even walk out if the movie's no good, feeling no sense of loss.

I was paying $40/month for MoviePass, and most months they still lost money and me, and I saw a lot of movies in a theater that I would normally have waited to see at home.

>sane people will not hinge their vote on Internet politics. Things like healthcare, their views on whether or not killing babies is okay, if it's totally cool to be racist in 2018 or not, etc. will tend to take precedence. As those things should, because those things affect people's lives, not Google and Netflix's bandwidth bills.

Fortunately I can vote for all that by simply not supporting a single party in the US and voting for the other one. As far as I know there is no major party in the US that supports killing babies.

Just when things start to look up, you're reminded what a colossal pile of shit you live in...

Where I'm from, a senior sw person is lucky to crack six figures in Canadian dollars. The thought of getting paid $160k a year is akin to dreaming I'll get signed to a major league contract. Typically, developers either become something else where code is their secret weapon, or they top out at below six figures.

There are benefits, working conditions are amazing and so I'm confident that for these people, the total package is worth into the six figure range.

However, the same people who will top out at around $95k a year here (that's roughly $45 an hour) can bill (as you said) in the $75 - $120 an hour. Add in a favourable US - Canadian exchange rate and yeah, you're looking at 2-3 times...

That's not profit and particularly if you have a family, it's expensive to get the same kinds of benefits. But the raw figures speak for themselves.

I hate reminding myself what a stark difference a border makes. And, don't even tell me the average daytime temperature in San Diego in January...

This seems like the most likely case.

If the GPU part has a failure, you can disable it and rescue the CPU. If the CPU has a failure you might rescue GPU. Pairing failed GPU-CPU's together for cheaper products and selling fully functional ones for the top of the line products makes sense.

The same happens with multi core ships and even with failed caches. Just disable them and sell them as low end chips.
It's arbitrary when you claim there are no sensible divisions in software.

Those efforts are largely seen as virtuous. Seems to me the only difference here is the origin of the money: tech.

Ubiquiti has always done this, even before containers were "hot."

If you install their rpms or debs for any of their properties, you're almost always getting a copy of Mongo or some other dependent service... and it is probably going to be incompatible with whatever version your package manager has or you're already running (version-constraints-wise, not actual compatibility-wise).

This is an indictment of Ubiquiti, not containers in general. If their software were properly built, they'd be shipping you a docker compose setup or something with N different containers that you could substitute out (at a network level) for your own.
Ramanujan was easily one of the greatest mathematicians in history. Full Stop.

Entirely self-taught, his insights were incredibly novel and have helped human advancement immeasurably. Incredible stories about this great person abound. Sadly, he died at 32 from a curable disease, though misdiagnosed. He was deeply religious, a devout Hindu and vegetarian. His legacy is truly astonishing despite his few years. What he could have accomplished, had he lived, is a tragedy of the first order to mathematics and the human quest for truth.

> The solution HN implemented for the problem of crowdsourcing front-page curation is to allow a short window of time for all submissions to be on the front page in order to gather points.

I wasn't aware of that…

My own HN submissions never made it to the front page without gathering two upvotes first. Those are pretty hard to get without a voting ring (err, two friends). There's the "new" page all right, but new stories come so fast there that it never lasts more than an hour.

Once you get past the "front page" threshold however, points tend to flood in. The second vote is probably worth several dozen votes on average.

Reddit sub-forums however lets new submissions land in the front page directly. Unsurprisingly, this makes voting pattern much more predictable (at least on r/programming and r/crypto, which are basically the only forums I go to).
Senate votes for net neutrality – enjoy the moment
Ok, I see. So this is the local equivalent for voting for a small party in a country with many more parties in the running for a coalition. That makes some sense, but at the same time it would mean that you are also voting for a lot of stuff that is reprehensible and probably against your own interest. Because once the votes are counted your vote will not be counted as a 'single issue' vote but as a total mandate for whatever that party is up to, they'll see their compromise on an issue that probably hardly moves the needle on their end as a clever tactic to get votes like yours.

> Single issue voters make policy.

Most often, and most significantly, unintentionally, on all the issues they aren't considering when voting.

Because, actually, the policy makers they elect make policy, and and that's true whether or not the one election a single issue voter tips is enough to shift the national balance on the issue of concern.

Or whether the candidate elected on your one issue even bothers voting the way you expect on it, rather than abandoning it.

Single issue voters often don't stick with it long enough for policy makers to worry about betraying them after an election where they issue moves a small but (for reasons particular to the context of that election) decisive segment of the electorate, or if they are sticky then representatives have a strong incentive to keep them onboard with an image that victory is just over the horizon, to hold on to their vote without resolving their issue so as to enable all the other policies the representative is concerned about.

Sure, but in the context of the conversation, we were talking about Internet of Things devices. How likely is it that you'll choose that 6- or 8-pin IC to make an Internet connection? I'm not saying it's impossible, but you're going to need a lot of support ICs; if you're making an Internet-enabled device you're probably not going to pick the tiniest microcontroller.

Besides, that microcontroller has either 512 or 1024 bytes of flash program memory. That's not enough space to run any of the lightweight encryption algorithms (well, maybe, Simon, but you wouldn't have space to do anything else!).

The contributions of the GNU team are considerable. RMS in particular? Eh.

Infosec, to their credit, were raising alarm bells from the beginning but nobody had to listen to them because they don't control anything.

GNU, however, does. If they'd extended GPL to include provisions for ensuring that the GPL software on it can be updated in a timely and secure manner, life would be a lot better for people.
This argument is funny to me mainly because I hear it all the time, about how different they are because they don't want to be profitable. The other thing management is supposed to do is manage cash flow and profit in such a way as to reduce risk (by piling up cash, not too much of course, but just enough...). They also survived the dot com crash because they were thrifty and always kind of cash flow break even.
