The prize was paid out at $50k/year for 20 years. After taxes, that could cover a modest living in many parts of the country, but I'd agree that is not "quit your job/retire" money, even in the 90's.

I think that would make sense. For us, that need a single rack, it comes out heavily on the data center size. AWS was twice as expensive.
Of course - non-locality in its various forms is a fundamental feature of the quantum world. Nobody argues that the slits (in the two-slit experiment) are separated, or that a particle, when it has a definite momentum, can be found anywhere in the Universe...

Reading anything online, without knowing the person, literally, sounds like exactly the problem with most online debates.

Instead of inquiring about what was meant you just assumed. Perhaps we should start with giving other the benefit of the doubt rather than just having "your criteria" without any context especially when you actually got quite a lot of context that would indicate it wasn't at all the case.
I disagree. They may have some cost structures you don't, but the profit they are making outweighs that. And staffing isn't really reduce.

At least for us, AWS is twice as expensive as dedicated.

I'm skeptical, as one who hasn't cash tipped since they added tipping in the app. I'm 4.68 or so, after many hundreds of rides. Sometimes my rating drops, though, and I struggle to recap events to figure out why: he got mad because I asked to turn down the radio? He thinks I'm mad at him for making a wrong turn? and so forth. But since one of the main draws of Uber is the cashlessness of it all, I bet that's old r/uber news.
Native Chinese speaker here. That post is comically wrong. For one thing, you don't pronounce either "file" or "fire" like "filer" or "firer" -- isn't English amazing ;) -- so there's no L/R sound in the first place for us to supposedly confuse.
I tried to read the device provisioning protocol. To read it, I would need to fill out a form to ask for permission and to agree to some contract. No thanks.

Given that “easy connect” seems to require no UI at all on the IoT device, I suspect it’s vulnerable to fairly trivial to reassociate a victim device to a rogue network, and it may be impossible to defend against at attacker who has ever seen the QR code without replacing the device outright.

The right way to do this is probably to arrange for IoT wireless clients to each get its own private VLAN and to have no ability to engage in any communication other than bandwidth-limited device-initiated traffic to the public Internet.

Well a lot of journalism recently is like that.

Newspaper subscriptions are a dying breed. Online news makes money from ads. To sell more ads, you have to sell more views or get sponsored content (native advertising)

It is in the interest of news companies to tell us things that we want to hear, or what a large group will want to hear.
... except that the cat was the measurement device...
Rediculous false choice. You make a huge assumption that aws charges as much as it would cost you to build your own without bulk discounts, etc. They charge way more than that.

I've worked on 40-rack build outs using supermicro without any special pricing that beat the cost of AWS for an equivalent number of reserved instances.

YC is located in south bay which is expensive, but not much different than many other cities in the US. If comparing to a suburb it will not be cheap, but there are no VCs in suburbs.

Firefox has a similar testing feature called "chaos mode" that tries to shake out bugs by doing things like randomly forcing short file or socket reads or changing hashtable iteration order. Due to the increased chance of buggy behavior or performance issues, this isn't the sort of thing you would do in production (unless you're on Netflix's chaos engineering team. :)
> Any time someone says this I have to question if they really looked at the "all in" number.

Yes we did.
> Did you include the salary of the person in purchasing who orders the servers?

That's a one time cost, and very low.

> Did you include the lost engineering time dealing with dead servers (instead of just shutting them off)?

Of course- but AWS has higher engineering costs to make it work, so self-hosting comes out in the end.

> Did you include the cost of spare hardware sitting around for emergencies?

You don't really need spare hardware. You have redundancy and get same day service from your vendors. And hardware nowadays rarely fails.

> Did you include the cost of downtime due to broken hardware while waiting for it to be repaired or replaced?

That would be zero, because a properly designed system has no downtime.

> There are so many other costs to running your own datacenter besides the servers and the space, which Amazon gets to amortize over all their customers, but you have to bear 100% on your own.

Sure, but there are so many other costs to running on Amazon that aren't there with self hosted.

Learning about the experiments that led to creation of quantum mechanics is helpful.
The approach I used was to take a snapshot, count up all the different object types (making a hash table mapping "name of type of object" => "count of objects whose type has that name", then discarding the snapshot), then take another snapshot a few minutes later, and see what the difference was, and which type of object there was suddenly a lot more of. Then I looked at various instances of that object. It turned out to be some async queue-related object that was only used in a couple of places, so that narrowed it down a lot. Even if it were something generic like a hash table or list, I suspect looking at instances of the object and breaking them down by some observable quality (e.g. number of elements, the set of keys in a table, the types of objects in a list), plus the differential approach, will take you fairly far.
I have about 200 tabs on my work machine and something even worse on my personal one and have never seen this, so unless you're a serious tab hoarder I doubt it's that.

I think it was Alan Kay who said something like "arrogance in computing is measured in nano-Dijkstras", so I agree that there's a nugget of truth packed with a large amount of elitist hyperbole.

The nugget of truth is that the paradigm you start with (and the longer you stick with it) influences your problem-solving process, and shapes your way of thinking in ways we don't necessarily notice. If you have a bunch of items and want all of them to have some operation done on them, do you think "I will map the operation over the items" or do you think "for each item I will do this operation on item[i]" or do you think "return the set of items which has this thing done"? Very different paths to the same result, and which path is best is extremely context-sensitive.

The website doesn't work in Firefox.

"FAQ: The download buttons do not work".

"The website is fully supported by Chrome now"

The current state of the internet, has reached a very low point. One would expect more from berkley.edu.

EDIT: I find the downvotes preposterous. Are we somehow supposed to expect requiring a proprietary browser to simply download a file from an educational institution now?
Yep, these people are called sysadmins. With AWS they are the ones who manage firewall rules, patching, etc on your instances as well as API keys etc. Some people like to call them devops because they didn't realize sysadmins could write scripts.

Maintaining 40 racks of hardware takes a surprisingly trivial amount of time aside from regular OS management.

The only products that actually eliminate these folks are things like Lambda + DB as a service.
There were a lot of business users with no interest in the Amiga's A/V features, though. That was the strength and weakness of the PC platform -- it was adaptable for a lot of different use cases, in exchange for being worse at most of them than more specialized (or more expensive) platforms.
> isn't just two things at the same time

In a way it is, though - when you measure, you get one or the other.
Or perhaps "few".
This seems like an unusual case where a guy murdered once and lived in the same area for decades afterwards without repeating a crime of violence with any similar characteristics. The fact that, at the time, he lived within 4 miles of the victim probably doesn't play into things much if they probably met at a club.

It's tragic of course but it's not clear that there's much to be learned for law enforcement from this other than that some people can go very far off the deep end once in their lives and not repeat it.
This gave me a chuckle:

“The beam can also be split and delivered to multiple target objects at the same time artificially and intelligently.” (emphasis mine).

What does that even mean?

Just managed to chuck in the words artificial and intelligence right before the article ended.

I am skeptical of source #0. I thought that idea of nsa keys had been debunked. At least that source is not complete. Someone found a string 'nsakey' and they talk about analyzing the 'entropy of the source code'. What does that actually mean in technical terms that make sense to software engineers? I'm too stupid to understand that I guess. Sure, it would make sense for the nsa to try to do this. But it wouldn't make as much sense for microsoft to do it. Linux is out there now. I used to work at microsoft, and our product had a secured special bug database where we recorded security issues. We didn't want random people in the company to know that you could make your login name do string injection was an example of something we had there.
I'm also curious as to how Windows fixed it.

"such a backwater"

After some years staring at this I've decided everything looks this way if you're used to the Web PKI. I tried very hard at first to assume that the PCI SSC, the EMV group, Wi-Fi Alliance and suchlike are doing great work but it's behind closed doors and so invisible to me. That theory has been challenged so thoroughly that I feel compelled to reject it.

Four things that stick in my mind in no particular order in relation to this realisation:

1. Peter Gutmann's out of the blue attack on ACME when it was relatively young. Gutmann's SCEP doesn't solve the problem, and at first my assumption was that he just needed to have that explained. After a while I realised that SCEP's success depends up not understanding what the real problem is, and SCEP is widely deployed outside the Web PKI largely _because_ choosing not to understand the problem suits those applications perfectly well. ACME can't displace SCEP in such applications but its existence might cause people to ask uncomfortable questions and perhaps Peter would (unconsciously?) rather that didn't happen.

2. Eric Rescorla's explanation of what a great environment HTTP (and particularly web browsers) is for a cryptographic adversary. In the literature imaginary bad guys often get to watch one party do a million message/reply back and forths, time them accurately and then send a million bytes of nonsense data to the target as setup for their attack, and in many applications this would be ludicrous in practice, the target would obviously react, how could you do cause anyone to send so many messages without attracting notice, let alone time them? So the attacks seem just theoretical. But on the web you can just write some Javascript and victims will happily run it for you on their computers.

3. Dean Coclin of Symantec and eventually the various banks/ payment providers etcetera that had hidden behind Symantec explaining that such institutions really _needed_ security, unlike mere cat blogs and search engines, but of course they couldn't be expected to react to notice of serious issues with an obsolete hash algorithm in a timely fashion, and so surely they ought to get an extra year or five to upgrade from SHA-1, and if they didn't there'd be dire consequences.

4. ETSI's work on the "Middlebox Security Protocol" aka ETSI TS 103 523. Obviously most of this happens out of view, so we have no idea if there's something productive being discussed - but they kindly (?) shared their work in progress documents with outsiders including the TLS Working Group and er... yuck. I mean... see for yourself:

After I read this I went off to learn more about the dorsal posterior insula and pain. It's role in being a necessary but not sufficient or just something correlated is still being debated with many experiments for and against.

and
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4706052/

then http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/jour...

As far as I can tell on my very quick literature survey lately it's against, and because of invasive studies done with actual electrodes covering the relevant areas of the insula. And the activity there (which would be later picked up as blood flow inferred by MRI) doesn't seem to necessarily "track" pain like the foundation paper(s) on the theory suggested.

My impression here is that intelligent people tend to over complicate this distinction. Consciousness is what separates you from a rock. It’s the fact that you have an inner life at all. That the world shows up for you. The points you make are interesting, but orthogonal to core distinction of what consciousness is.
EDIT: as you point out, your examples raise interesting points about personal identity over time, throughout space, etc. These, I argue, are just additional and separate distinctions.
Overall agree, but for some reason I can't grasp, they never have the full menu, at any such place I've ever used them.
The term you’re looking for is “type inference”, where the compiler determines the type of a variable automatically at compile time.
Similar to John Chambers, who used to run Cisco. He bought a tiny switching company called Kalpana (and a few others) for ~200MM back in 1994. Cisco dominated the switching market for a long, long, time as a result. It still accounts for nearly a third of Cisco revenues even today (~45 B total revenue in 2017).

Actually, IIRC/IANAL, SINCE recreational use is legal in D.C., federally the government's hands are tied, because I believe what is legal in D.C. is legal in all federal jurisdictions (except where state laws says otherwise), so Federally, I believe Marijuana is no longer prosecutable per se, I could be wrong -- but states that still ban it can prosecute since it's their state law.

By the time the VGA and Soundblaster came out as affordable (the early 1990s) the Amiga 500 sold for $299 and was replaced with the Amiga 600. Commodore was hit hard by PC cloners but could mass produce their computers cheap. About 1/3 rd the price of the Macintosh at least so did the Atari ST series.

Nice work! To counterbalance the comments here a little bit, I think an email address for a book is more than a fair exchange. My one suggestion would be to have a HTML version, so that mobile users can read it easier. I do most of my reading on my phone and PDFs are really hard to read, since the text size doesn’t scale. This doesn’t need to be extra effort, you could probably just compile whatever underlying markdown document you probably have that you used to create the PDF and save it as a HTML file, and send link to it (or send the HTML file itself) after email signup alongside the PDF.
In this case I agree with you. I was just pointing out that we should be careful with Chrome being used as a "reference".
