> Why not strive for it?

Well... the idealistic part of me agrees, why not? I'd love to see a world where everyone treated everyone else without prejudice or malice formed by growing up with the stereotypes we do, but ignorance is still widespread and education lacking. I'd love for a world where our differences were celebrated rather than feared and hated. I'd love for this information to be used benevolently to eradicate disease or to genetically fix hereditary conditions that cause us pain or significantly degrade our quality of life.

They say that everything worth having is on the other side of fear, and I subscribe to this notion. But I fear that humanity in its present form isn't mature enough to adapt quickly enough for many millions of people not to suffer during the interim.

Much good has come in the aftermath of WWII, in fact I would say the good has far outweighed the bad when you consider how far we've come since then. Do I believe that millions of Jews should have died for that progress? No. I don't, and I never will. Do I believe we should have been able to get where we are today without that? Yes, I do. Do I believe we would have? Unfortunately, I do not.

> Showing me what I'm looking for is great. I'd pay for that. Do you think Company X is evil for providing services and products that are perfectly compatible with my needs? They get access to my wallet because they do something great and I'm happy to encourage them.

If they do only what they prescribe on the tin, that's great. Unfortunately, you know as well as I do that this doesn't happen. The data is sold on to other less scrupulous companies and where it can be exploited and used against us in an unregulated fashion. This is why the GDRP and the Data Protection Act came into being in the U.K. and Europe.

> What if I see you crossing the street? Am I supposed to keep that for myself? Should we ban surveillance cameras, drones, sensors, GPS trackers, etc? Should people really own any data that intersects with themselves? None of this seems at all reasonable.

Am I doing anything wrong by crossing the street? What difference does it make if you saw me crossing the street? Are you going to use or release that information to someone to use against me?

I'm from the U.K. so public surveillance is something that I've become used to, and in fact complacent about over the years. When I'm in public, I expect to have my person and my actions on public display. This means I self censor and show people who I want them to see. This doesn't mean you know me. This doesn't mean the world at large knows me. The only things you know about me aside from how I behave are the things I want you to know about me. Just because you want to know something about me, doesn't give you the right to know that information, unless I choose to disclose it to you.
Why? I’m perfectly happy with the marketing of almond milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk as is. I’d rather people associate these things with something they’re familiar with so they’re comfortable trying them. The more we can stop relying on animal abuse for our food the better.

What i do not understand is how these collectors are expected to enter non-public areas to retrieve company property. Railway tracks? Id punish the person who left it there. The rule should be that you leave it in a safe public place. Then again, leave anything in public place for too long and you should be charged with littering. Seeing these things lying around waiting to be picked up is depressing. I wish i could just leave my stuff in the city park and pick it up a few days later.
Thanks! My comment was not meant as a criticism of your work (I still like the paper, and do appreciate that you went to the effort of putting the amended results online), but more of the CS conference publishing model.

I look forward to reading the Ryu paper.
It happens once in a while. I think my post about participating in the 2013 Boston Marathon garnered over 100 points and only one or two comments. I have other examples. Sometimes a post can be very informative and worthy of a quick click of the mouse, without requiring further comment.

Nah.

From the study[1]:

"After reaching a criterion of ≥ 80% accuracy, bees demonstrated the learned concept of numerically less when presented with the numbers two to five(73.8 ± 1.9%; z score = 10.18, P <0.001). When presented with the unfamiliar numbers of one versus zero, bees chose the lower number of zero (63.0 ± 2.9%; z score = 4.23, P < 0.001; Fig. 1D), showing an understanding that an empty set is lower than one, which is challenging for some other animals."

> A Star Trek ideal would be nice but I don't see it happening. Government is just too slow and inefficient to provide such things effectively.

That's because tbis government was formed before the idea of post scarcity could actually be implemented. There was also the idea that citizens and government were in opposition with each other.

> Food is a necessity, but you don't have to look that far back in history to find a government trying to provide that for its people and see the problems. For one of the worst cases of this ever, take a look at the Great Leap Forward in China. Millions died from famine.

I'd be very wary in citing governmental propaganda. Capitalism also has great costs, including over suffering and death of humans and the destruction of the environment. Except in capitalist countries (USA) it gets turned around to blame the individual for having $bad_thing done to them.

You also seem to implicitly think that I would want socialism/communism. In a way, yes. But most Marxists want the standard 'governmental control of the factories'. In the end, the citizens end up trading corporate master for govt master.

Instead, I find that I agree much more with cooperatives. Democracy, one voice one vote, is generally considered good - why not also apply that to our workplaces rather than a dictatorship? I see that much more of a way forward, than some idiotic overthrow for more of the same.
I imagine the anxieties of billionaires are more existential. For the average person, a huge chunk of your time and energy is spent on obtaining enough wealth to support your lifestyle. Life is about providing for you and your loved ones, and how you can provide more.

Without that purpose to pursue, a billionaire might feel anxious about what to do with their life.

It will most likely go the other way. For only $5 a month, you can get a basic package that gives you Netflix, Hulu, Playstation Network and literally nothing else. No Google, no real Internet.

Or maybe you can mix streaming access. For $1 each, you can pick up to eight packages on the basic plan: Amazon Prime, Spotify, Netflix, XBoxLive, etc. etc. or For $12, get all 20 of them. Or for $20, real Internet access.
How are you going to white-list network-interface names? On Linux at least you can name them almost anything you want:

% sudo ip link set eth3 down
% sudo ip link set eth3 name "'deal-with-it'"
% sudo ip link show "'deal-with-it'"
5: 'deal-with-it': <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10000
link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

The only interface-name restrictions iproute2 sets is that they can't contain NUL, slash, or white space, and they can't be longer than 15 characters.
>Cattlemen and dairy farmers are saddling up, and lawyering up, in response. The U.S. Cattlemen’s Association has petitioned the Agriculture Department to bar plant-based products from bearing labels that say “beef” or “meat,” with similar restrictions on meat grown from animal cells.

I understand their gripe with plant products, that sounds like deceptive advertising. But the lab-grown stuff is still meat. I think they're trying to take a yard here.

>High-tech upstarts say the proposed labeling rules are a poor defense, pointing out that on a molecular level, plant-based meat products can contain the same amino acids, fats and minerals as animal flesh.

>“People don’t get angry when you call your cellphone a phone,” said Ethan Brown, chief executive of Beyond Meat.

Yes but if I try to buy a "computer" and you give me a phone, it's not a defense to tell me that it still has RAM and hard storage and a screen, etc. Veggies and tofu rolled into a patty may be a "burger" but it's not "meat" or "beef."

>Jaime Athos, chief executive of the Tofurky Co., which sells imitation tofu-based roasts and patties, objects to any ban on the word “meat” in labels. Consumers hear tofu, he said, and “expect it to be bland or not meat-like.”

Jaime, this is your advertising challenge. You don't just pretend your product is something else.
Threadripper ships in single-node interleaved memory by default, at least on my motherboard. This increases latency but doubles bandwidth (because now all 4-sticks of RAM are interleaved).

There's a BIOS setting. I personally enabled it using AMD's "Ryzen Master" program to setup NUMA mode (aka: "Local" mode in Ryzen Master).
SWOT analysis – a useful tool for event planners
I didn't realize this was possible on Bitcoin Cash. Here's a similar idea coded for Ethereum:

https://www.blunderingcode.com/gamble-channels-fast-verifiab...

This uses a chain of hashes so you can make a single commitment for lots of bets, and an off-chain payment channel.
If you need aligned memory (e.g., for SIMD operations), it can be better to assume control of allocation.
Nicely echoes a comment I made yesterday that the trouble with all this guilt by association is we don't get to choose friends and neighbours via criminal and national security background checks.

That you live near or socialise with possible terrorists and criminals doesn't make you guilty. I've had very close friends amaze me when I find they're to be divorced as they always seemed a happy couple. I guess friends don't tell me everything. That includes not sharing their plans for terrorism, bank raids and coups.

So McCarthy era paranoia but with an awful lot of data to draw unfair inferences from or perpetuate society's current biases.
> Internet access should be an infrastructure maintained by the state.

Some cities and counties have tried this and were immediately sued by the incumbent operators. Cable and Telco have multidecade long contracts with local municipalities. Having a government just up and attempt to start doing their own thing is arguably a breach of contract/illegal.
Not to mention that some people were using this scheme to launder money, though typically with sky high book prices.
Please don't say things that are obviously untrue.

I've got a Threadripper 1950x and got 2x NUMA nodes. You gotta enable a BIOS setting.

Second: "$ numactl --hardware " is a Linux command. The Windows equivalent is coreinfo.

I'd really like to see what he has to say in response to these events, if he has at all. This seems to be the weakest part of his overall argument. Anticompetitive violations _have_ happened in the past in the absence of Title II regulation despite his saying otherwise. That being said, (rural) ISP firms have apparently written to say they are pleased with lifting this regulation:

"VTel wrote to say that 'regulating broadband like legacy telephone service would not create any incentives for VTel to invest in its network. In fact, it would have precisely the opposite effect.' The company went on to say that it's now 'quite optimistic about the future, and the current FCC is a significant reason for our optimism.' Indeed, VTel just announced that it has committed $4 million to upgrade its 4G LTE service and to begin rolling out faster mobile broadband that will start its transition to 5G, the next generation of wireless connectivity."

Cardboard boxes with a utility blade or x-acto knife are really pleasant to work with. I've built plenty of things both for and with my son (now that he's a little older) for school costumes and projects. When we've got larger boxes, they're great for making a truck or a car to play-in. The durability of the box is usually pretty well correlated with the how long they remain interested in playing with the creation. Our latest creation was a cardboard knight costume with helmet, sword and shield. One of the more-freeing aspects of it all is that mistakes aren't a big deal because you've likely got plenty of replacement cardboard to try again.
Man, I've been there.

It seems your fundamental challenge is you aren't getting things done. If you can't accomplish things, this indicates you are missing critical, learnable skills that can change your life for the better.

Don't worry so much about the immediate details of your situation and take steps to address your ability to accomplish what you set out to do.

Perhaps you have untreated ADHD or mild depression. Perhaps you don't actually enjoy coding, but just think you do.

Or if not, very likely you have counterproductive habits, which will take time to change but luckily there are fantastic resources out there.

I would recommend you read all of these:

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big - Scott Adams

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Steven Covey

12 Rules For Life - Jordan Peterson

The War Of Art - Steven Pressfield

So Good They Can't Ignore You - Cal Newport

and if those don't help, you might have ADHD:

Driven to Distraction - Edward M. Hallowell

Meanwhile, make as much human connection as feasible, so you remember there's more to life than your career.

Changing how you operate to be more effective and aligned with your goals isn't an overnight project, but it is totally possible and you will get there.

I propose that there exists an active mental state in which one is emotionally neutral (i.e. no emotional valence) toward any possible outcome -- removal of access to entertainment, pleasure, one's relationships, even your own death.

I don't claim that this mental state is "better" or that anyone should try to achieve it, but experiencing it does tend to disrupt beliefs about what is necessary and important in life. Evidence suggests that desires and pleasures and entertainment and social comforts and ways to unwind that previously felt reasonably harmless and natural start to feel irrelevant and unimportant.

As far as I can tell, most of the written evidence is from the spiritual perspective, which is not always the most intellectually rigorous perspective. For a more scientific treatment of the underlying neuroscience, I'd recommend Thomas Metzinger's work; "The Ego Tunnel" is a good start. My experience is that understanding the physiological mechanisms behind our awareness, cognition, and emotion gives us a better map of how we might engineer different mental states, some of which have significant overlap with historically desirable mental states.

Metzinger proposes that our conception of "self" is basically an illusion that our brain generates in specific ways for specific purposes. Conceptually experimenting with "if this was true, what would it imply?" seems to lead to a world in which no one and no event can hurt "me", because in a way of speaking, there is no "me". Then backing down the ladder of abstraction, if I really, truly believed this, but of course still had the brain-generated perception of self, what would it imply for my everyday behavior?

The result seems to be sparser but deeper and more meaningful relationships (including with myself), much less interest in mindless entertainment and distraction, and intensified curiosity about the natural world. To the point where spending "all your free time on a hard chair with pen and paper studying" actually seems like a good idea.
I have lots of choices for an ISP, as long as I only chose Spectrum, or use passenger pigeons to transmit packets. Given that they are extinct, my choice is rather limited. A relative in another state has three fibers in her yard because of Google. Competition is what drives prices, no competition, prices are adjustable as long as its up.

Yeah, it's pretty upsetting to see the lack of compassion in here. I think it is just harder for some to imagine real people on the other side of HN comments (or any online comments). If we were all in a room talking to each other, instead of a message-board, then we would see far more empathy and kindness.

I'm glad you're here to be a kind and compassionate voice.

To be honest, I think most people would (if you ask them) assume a carburetor is a part of a typical car, even though fuel injectors have been commonplace for decades now.

Most people just don't think about how cars work.

>new opportunities for immigrants, such as for Salma Hayek

Of course she was getting pigeon-holed by Harvey Weinstein and the Hollywood machine who were trying to limit her opportunity to take on roles that didn't rely solely on her beauty and ethnic background.

It is still a country of some opportunity but much of that opportunity comes from fighting against the existing power structures.
> Ajit Pai is blatantly lying

He is, for sure. I don't think Pai is an idiot, or a moron or ignorant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He realizes it's all bullshit and is selling this crap to the public anyway.
How do you feel about the middle ground where you pay a fixed price and your bandwidth/latency is determined by the application? VOIP gets low-bandwidth low-latency, web surfing gets the middle ground, and video streaming gets high-latency high-bandwidth with the expectation that over a large enough population that the usage of each type will roughly average out.

I know this forum is full of people who want total control of everything but I would bet this would provide a better experience since it doesn't have to be managed by the customer.

> Or the all too real possibility of Comcast allowing something like HULU to not apply to the data-caps

This doesn't technically fall under NN but I agree it's pretty scummy. I think it's a tough argument to make the ISPs shouldn't be allowed to do this though. If Hulu wants to make a deal with an ISP where they pay for their customer's data usage and pay more to be exclusive I don't see why that should be forbidden.

An example outside of ISPs. Spotify used to integrate Musixmatch into their app which would otherwise cost users $12/year. I wouldn't feel comfortable saying that Spotify can't make an exclusive deal or that Musixmatch must allow GPM to integrate with them as well.
amazon.com killed them, like it is killing whole categories of traditional retailers.

The owners knew it and sold while it was still possible to sell. The buyers gambled that they could cut costs fast enough to compete, but they lost the bet.
And even if big services like Netflix can afford to pay to play and make it all transparent to the customer, there will be hidden costs to play. Expect that that services like Netflix will have to raise their rates more and more frequently to cover the expenses, all inaccessible to consumer-choice in a direct way.

The consumer can no longer choose an ISP on their individual performance separately from various internet services and their performance. The bundling of agreements will increasingly reduce the ability of the market to deliver efficiently.
They definitely don't play with them as much as they originally did, but they both are still requesting that I build one. Might be the last year I do it though.
I pay for Comcast business class, because (a) I do work from home, and am on call, (b) the SLA says they need to roll a truck within four hours (we've had trouble in our city with line cards going bad and them not being fixed for months), and (c) when I call their tech support, I get someone who is technically competent, or at least wayyyy more effective than the script-reading drones you get on a consumer account.

It's twice the money for half the bandwidth, but I have enough bandwidth and I sleep better at night. Shouldn't be necessary, but . . .

I respectfully disagree with this sentiment. Light-hearted jokes should be welcomed. A joke adds humor to the discussion for some, and that is a valuable contribution. As valuable as technical, political or sociological insight in many cases.

Hacker News experiences nowhere near a volume of spammy meme sharing that would merit rebuking joke comments, enforcing a policy discouraging them, or even downvoting them out of view.
