Blockchain is all I work on and you seem to not understand my suggestion.

cheater.dll needs to be loaded in memory along with the game. Correct, right? If the original build of the game has already generated an encryption key that is stored on a server or a distributed ledger using your account, then tampering with the origonal build in memory will result in generating and invalod key thus changing the ledger or the stored key on the server, and not matching the ledger. If this happens then it invalidates your build and the distributed ledger would need to updated, but since that is not allowed in this instance all ledgers would reject your change and flag the block and the account. Making it easier to find who attempted a change. Sure this can be done on a server but because of the tamper proof inherited by a distributed ledger it would make it harder for this code to be shared. The cheater can still change the code but it would not be able to share it.

_most_ of the traffic will move in response to DNS changes, but there's always a group of resolvers that keep your old IPs for an unreasonable amount of time. I've taken machines out of DNS rotations with short TTLS (I think 5 minutes, but maybe 1 hour) and had some amount of traffic on them for weeks. After a reasonable amount of time, too bad for them, but when I can work behind a 'real' load balancer it's nice to be able to actually turn off the traffic.
Very good. My only feedback is that line spacing is slightly off on my iPhone 6S, not terrible though. Also I entered my website starting with https, but it just shows it with http in the report.

Ashlee Vance has been covering autonomous vehicles for years. Zoox did years of closed course testing before rolling out on public roads last summer, and last fall they held a press event and took a dozen or two journalists out for 10 minute rides around SF, all the journalists had good things to say about it.

Jesse Levinson, the guy leading autonomy at Zoox is a big scoop, he gets huge respect in the robotics community. When you got a top talent like that, it tends to attract more top talent. I'm really impressed by how much Zoox has accomplished with so little. Last I heard they had about a dozen test vehicles noodling around parts of San Francisco, but with this new cash injection you'll probably be seeing a lot more sensor riddled flat black Toyota Highlanders in the Bay Area in the coming months.

It should be emphasized that fully validating an autonomous vehicle well enough to remove the driver is no small feat and they have a long way to go, I'm betting against their 2020 target for a commercial rollout.

I agree with everything you say. It's ironic because game companies themselves use virtual machines with obfuscated instruction sets in their games as a copy protection mechanism. It's pretty hard to feel any sympathy for them once hackers get around their pathetic countermeasures.

To add to your post, here's an example of why game developers can't be trusted to run code in kernel mode:

So, a free market is ineffective at allocating resources in healthcare.

Unless we redefine healthcare to mean "care for people who are not sick," which does not really make it healthcare at all, does it?

Honest question: How is this not basically a subsidy for the electronics sector?
The news I'm hearing from the US all the time is how China, for example, is subsidizing it's production sector and that that creates unfair market competition. From Harvard Business Review, for example: "[...] its overarching policy of aggressively subsidizing targeted industries in order to dominate global markets" and "Government subsidies to produce technologically advanced products and undercut foreign manufacturers have buttressed China’s trade prowess" [1]

The same can be said for the other technologies that were first financed by the government and then taken over by the private sector [2]

When I've gone a clean backup on Backblaze it's taken just over 24 hours to backup about 650 GB. And I'm not even in the US, so my data has to cross the pacific.

Backblaze is actually faster than Apple Time Machine is on my LAN which slightly bothers me. It also has lower CPU usage.

I originally chose Backblaze after benchmarking the other offers available at the time (Carbonite, Crashplan etc) and Backblaze was by far the fastest.

At least in Europe two stroke gardening machinery in the range between 20 to 50ccm is getting quickly replaced by current-powerd engines. When you use them, the accu is empty and after two winters out in the barn they are dead. But because gas powered two stroke engines are getting so quickly replaced they have become so cheap.

Sometimes I think replacing them with current powered engines serves as a testbed to improve storage technology and to drive manufacturing costs down for the car accumulator producers.

For dev work an US keyboard is actually preferable.

While we’re here, let me just add another little form of “geographic advantage” (?) to the mix: you all know cmd-‘ pages through windows of the same application. On a US layout ‘ is right up next to tab, which makes it extremely convenient to remember the mnemonics of cmd-‘ and cmd-tab. In US intl ‘ is shoved down next to lshift, and the premium key top of tab is the useless §.

From the article: "It’s pretty rare to go to GitHub, find high-quality hardware blocks that are available, and have the verification tools and everything you would need to trust that, even though that block has been altered by many different designers, it is in a state that is useable for your design."

And so they are giving money to the likes of Intel, Nvidia, Synopsis, Xilinx? The reason why there is very little open source hardware is because it isn't in those company's interests.

I won't hold my breath, I think this is just government appropriations and a lot of self-congratulating kick-off conferences that won't amount to anything useful. We're more likely to get open hardware the same way it always has started -- from the community, not from corporations. They will only adopt it when they have no other choice.
This is only valid if every new employee can contribute to core payments. Scaling laws indicate only a small number of employees can work on one products; additional employee resources might be a net negative.

It may be useful to think of a product/project as a bucket that gets filled via a Zeno's paradox, with possibly negative contributions. At a reasonably small scale (few hundred employees), it may be better to explore new buckets than to add another fractional (and potentially negative, independent of employee quality) unit to core skills.

>End of the day - every employee who is distracted by looking after the assets & numbers for these side projects is an employee who is not focused on their core payments system.

I have to run an accessory fan stand under my MBP.
The other way to think about it is like the v7 thumb modes in comparison to the original 32-bit predicated instruction set. X86 has a lot of less than ideal instructions, but they are uncommonly used. So the core instruction set is quite dense and high performance.

Intel is learning (or knows, depending on your perspective, see goldmont) how to build highly efficient cores too, but like ARM haven't quite figured out how to build a super high performance one that is crazy efficient. ARM's continue to be quite efficient but not particularly performant, while intel's continue to be quite peformant but not particularly efficient.

Either way, the trend is pretty clear at this point more power dissipation=more performance.
Netflix and Amazon also already encode in HEVC, they stream it to compatible players/hardware
All anti-cheating techniques are fallible. It's impossible to build a perfect cheat detection/prevention, just like it's impossible to build something that will always detect all malware, etc. The client code is always going to be on the player's computer and has to execute on the player's computer. There's no way around that.

You can't guarantee effectiveness, but you can make it very hard to reverse engineer and circumvent, and you can constantly change techniques so that adversaries need to put in more work. It's an ever-evolving cat-and-mouse game.
> i think such a system makes pharmacists de facto community doctors, but without the time, training, or patient medical data to function correctly.

A U.S. Pharma.D is a professional doctorate degree. They don't just study organic chemistry, but also little things like treatment indications and counter-indications, patient management, etc.

Having access to the patient's medical history is a solvable problem. Some pharmacists already have access to and make use of such information.

Regarding patient time, there are more pharmacists in the U.S. than primary care physicians--roughly 290,000 versus 250,000. (See https://www.statista.com/statistics/185723/number-of-pharmac... and https://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/factsheets/primary/pc...)

The problem today is that we waste our physicians' expertise on trivial stuff. It's an inefficient allocation of resources. Pharmacists have traditionally always been on the front-lines. The past half century in the U.S. has been anomalous in how underutilized are our pharmacists. Fortunately their training is still quite rigorous. They regularly catch physician errors, including a significant portion not related to drug interactions. (See https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S131901641...)

As long as the lines of communication are kept open, what's the issue? An M.D. or O.D. doesn't make one omnipotent. And U.S. pharmacists are better trained than the pharmacists in many other countries who enjoy greater independence and authority. The sky isn't falling in those places, AFAICT.

In general, I would agree that Macbook Pros are very reliable.

Having said that, it's not like Apple hasn't had their share of lemons. I was unfortunate enough to have an early 2011 15" Macbook Pro. Without getting into too much details, it's a known lemon that has been discussed here on HN many times. My 2011 MBP was the first laptop I've ever had that actually stopped working. FWIW, most of my other laptops were PC laptops that didn't cost nearly as much as the MBP.

> Voting on HN is very often about popularity or trying to downvote what you don't like

Well, yes and no. I certainly agree with your point about tribalism and being like other online communities, but I don't agree with the "just as much" part, at least not within the bounds of certain topics or sub-threads. It takes an effort to see just that HN.

My own experience is that my comments receive few votes one way or the other (and very rarely fall negative), but I believe that's because I make a concerted effort to avoid topics where discussion appear to yield nothing but further controversy. I'll even just hit the "[-]" on the whole sub-thread after reading a few levels and detecting the pattern.

I also self-censor (and let go of things and not take bait). Frequently. How much of a loss this is, to others, is unknown, but I do know I ultimately feel worse when I am the character in the xkcd cartoon who won't leave the computer because "someone is wrong on the Internet".

> rather than reserving downvotes for types of discourse that truly fall outside the guidelines or scope.

I'd say that this reservation (certainly the more severe guidelines violations) is appropriate for flagging, not (just) downvoting.

> I was pushed into a corner where I felt it was clearly necessary to belabor it.

To hang on to one shred of on-topic material :) ...

Considering there was only one other participant in the long chain, that's a strange characterization. More importantly, though, in light of your subsequent remarks regarding guidelines, you may want to take a hard look at whether your initial response, that sparked it all, fully complied with their spirit.

In particular, the one that ends "Assume good faith" (suggesting disclaimers are unneeded), and the one regarding ideology (which I know does not specifically what happened here, but there may be echoes).

Just something to think about in the whole pragmatism vs. morality in advice tension.

> People downvote what they don't like, regardless of its merits or worthwhileness.

I'll personally tend to downvote comments that bring ideology into what had previously been a practical discussion, since, as you may have guessed from my original distillation of our positions, I'm a pragmatist. Of course, this is also idealogical (a position on worthwhileness).

All that said, I recognize your username (which means you comment on topics of interest to me) and generally find myself upvoting your comments.

Many people made serious money botting MMORPGs and selling gold. It's so prevalent it accelerates the inflation of the in-game currency.

> No one here is saying that you don't need geographical redundancy

I mean, that's kind of what Backblaze is saying in the article, isn't it? They don't have geographical redundancy, yet there's not a single mention of that fact or the importance thereof in an entire article dedicated to teaching the unwashed masses about the limitations of mathematical theory in analyzing durability, even going so far as to say:

> somewhere around the 8th nine we start moving from practical to purely academic... it’s far more likely that...Earthquakes / floods / pests / or other events known as “Acts of God” destroy multiple data centers [emphasis my own]

Seems like a pretty serious omission given their claimed authority as "the bottom line for data durability" and being "like all the other serious cloud providers" who do have geo redundancy, don't ya think?
Was just pointing out that the tool did not work as advertised (i.e. without configuration). As in parcel index.html does not produce a working app for me. There's nothing to screw up here. Either that works or it doesn't. In my case, it doesn't. It fails to self configure as advertised and it fails to tell me what broke and why (or even that it broke). But it is quite obviously not producing a working application for me.

I imagine this relates to a whole range of broken assumptions it makes about where files actually are in my project, how things are configured on my system, etc. Normally you'd fix that by configuring these things. Since it doesn't provide a whole lot of documentation or guidance other than this thing needing no configuration because it is so smart, I decided against pursuing this thing any further and uninstalled parcel.

I experienced a similar disparity when I visited India. From a western perspective, it was very chaotic, with no obvious rules and no real consistent system.

Everything just sort of flowed around everything else, there was a cacophony of honking and shouting and cars/bikes just wedging in themselves where they wanted to go.

As someone from northern Europe, all of this just didn't make sense to me.

Yet somehow, I did not witness a single crash during the week I was there, not even a minor love tap.

Of course this is completely anecdotal, and I know India has a very high road fatality rate. But there is some reason to the chaos. When the infrastructure is lacking, people are surprisingly good at adapting and making things work on the fly.

Personally, I prefer the rules and predictability of western traffic, but it does tend to break down and confuse people when someone starts blatantly disregarding the rules. Indian/Chinese traffic is more adaptable, in a way.
Far from being just for those trying to self-medicate, this process also applies to anyone who's been diagnosed by another doctor, but happened to move, or can't get their records for whatever reason, or whose new doctor insists on a full work-up regardless because they're not comfortable skipping it.
