Its over- any attempt to delay solars victory with regulations, will result in solar being deployed elsewhere (offshore/ south-america) and then delivered at combat prices to the border, deforming a future energy grid even further.
I agree, I don't spend more than you do it sounds like - but I do spend on a specific shoe because coming in a pair of cross trainers or running shoes is just counter productive. But the point was completely separate from arguing about what a good gym shoe is.
Intel also benefits from ME in many many ways, I'm sure. Like obviously it is a massive value add to their Enterprise customers.

However, I think the argument in the article still holds water, not because Blu-ray matters, but because nobody had any idea it wouldn't. CPU and GPU manufacturers probably have extremely long contracts to implement and obscure DRM features, fueled in part by Hollywood's sore feelings from the DVD Jon days.

Of course Netflix and Hulu and so forth happened and whoops, laptops got thin and stopped having optical drives and oops, Samsung added streaming services to their TVs... And now Bluray and it's assinine security schemes hardly matter. Hollywood didn't adapt well to this new streaming world so I'll bet they didn't see it coming either.

Of course the threats not over. Next generation we'll probably see even more insane copyright protection coming out of Hollywood for the sake of protecting services like Netflix as a contractual obligation if they want to carry the hot new garbage. I'm particularly excited to see what happens with stuff like Intel SGX.

This will probably continue for the next couple decades until a set of realizations finally become too apparent to ignore. After all, the pirates torrenting the latest Game of Thrones don't need Intel SGX or HDCP. They just click play.

But the more delusional and out of touch the industry is, the longer it takes. Video game DRM may not be a solved problem but even the absolute worst protection available today is so much less hostile than what we were dealing with a decade ago that it hardly matters. Hell, nowadays with PC games, anticheat is the more invasive technology. Modern invasive DRM mostly just phones home to get some crypto keys and to try to limit a single license from being spread to the entire internet. It may seem anticonsumer, but it's the worst there is, and it's very telling that gamers seem more concerned about tracking technology than middleware like Denuvo.

After a quick napkin calculation+google it seems the sun has around 20kW of power per square centimeter. So not entirely unfeasible that a cooler star, or a nuclear reactor is closer to the typical 10-100W/cm2 of a modern cpu/gpu. Still some orders of magnitude off from our closest star. (Hope calculation is correct)
I would argue with that.

Also if you want to find the biggest carbon emitter then look no further then the oceans. We should ban them too.

Or at least that was in one study, but who knows. There are hundreds of studies nowadays on this topic.
Tesla could easily refute the numbers by revealing actual cancellation numbers. The fact that they haven't, legally speaking (referring to SEC disclosure requirements), means the numbers are on point (but might have different significant if explained in a different context).
At the end of the article, it says their end-game is to go vegan (no fish, dairy and eggs). So even vegetarians may get second thoughts.
The 3 buses can go faster through their route if they move together as on average each one has to stop less times. It's possibly a case of a misguided metric (average route time or delay) driving behavior to undesirable local optima.
I wouldn't say Wagner is really reducing it so much as teaching the layperson to explore their own conception of a house and why a house design doesn't quite coalesce.

She didn't teach me to identify that a Frankfurt house must have a wingdar, a gongle, and a shivbopped roof. It just taught me to look closer at all the different elements that make my brain say "that's a house" vs "that's a weird house"
So how will the inevitable self-driving Ubers handle vomit?
I've read, but can't find the figures sustaining it, that vegetarian diets are more efficient per acre, but less efficient per gallon of water. The kind of fruits and vegetables humans eat consume lots of water, whereas the food for cellulose-eating cattle demands much less, to the point where a calorie worth of meat would use less water than a calorie worth of human-feeding greens.

If anyone could find back-of-the-enveloppe figures to vindicate or debunk that claim, I'd be glad to read them.
Small price to pay for a smooth ride. I dunno, a lot of this reeks of entitlement. There's a liability to using someone else's possessions to increase ones quality of life: maintaining it in good order. Seems obvious to me: I'll take a pic/small video of entering and exiting the vehicle. Quality win, all around.
>To determine his guilt, and answer the questions the presecutor needed?

The reason that they needed to interview Assange was so that they could proceed to arrest him and charge him. That is why the EAW was issued. The interview was a procedural formality, not something that would have been particularly useful in its own right.

>Most people don't have a US Home Secretary who wants them tried with treason (ie, potentially dead) and an bizarrely increased amount of attention compared to any other similar case, from a country that's been revealed as a covert member of Nato.

How is that any concern of the Swedish prosecutor? It's not their problem if the US tries to extradite Assange. (There is, of course, no evidence that the US is going to do this beyond Assange's paranoid fantasies.)

>Also most rape victims aren't excited to go to a crayfish party with the person who just supposedly raped them 24 hours ago.

It's actually pretty common for rape victims to remain on more-or-less friendly terms with the people who raped them. (You can see a similar phenomenon with domestic abuse.)
> It is relaxing, not discomforting

Meditation practice is not relaxing at all. The effect after meditating might be in part feeling relaxed, but in general meditation is pretty hard work.

This is probably a very common misconception, you see all the pictures of people meditating at the beach in front of a beautiful sunset and think that meditating is like going to the spa, when in fact meditating is much more like the mental equivalent of going to the gym.

Also, in many occasions (especially during a 10 day retreat like Vipassana), it can be very uncomfortable if not outright physically painful (although usually never dangerous).
Orgmode has been great. However, after Org Timeline was recently removed, I've struggled to get the same functionality with custom agenda views.

I think one of the big factors might be, that it's more about money then the environment.

The last time I've heard about Wework is that they are still expanding and not making any profit yet.

It might be, that the funds are running dry and to cut costs, they are forcing their employees to bring in their on food on own expense.

Should have kicked off with this thought process.

Another +1 for journal here. Specifically, the bullet journal:
http://bulletjournal.com/get-started/

It's very modular, so you can do whatever you want with it. But I write a daily to-do list and also use it to keep track of longer term tasks and goals.

I have used it for 3 years now, have filled up two moleskin-type journals, and my SO and I are convinced that this is the single best thing we've done to improve ourselves.
Unfortunately, enabling this stuff seems to be the deal with the devil you have to do in order to become a mainstream platform. I highly doubt that ARM will supplant x86 without also offering something that is functionally equivalent to ME.
> but as a remote employee, it can be more difficult to advance into management

I agree, you need remote-first company or at least all-remote team to manage effectively. Politics are always hard but then meritocracy wins. However still I haven't found a good way to break the ice remotely - ocassional team gathering IRL helps a lot.

Disruption idea: remote watercooler/lunch/hallway talks solution.
You did not offend me. I was just making a remark about the tone of your comment, and suggesting that the conversation would benefit from a general change in tone.

So you’ve never seen a PETA (people eating tasty animals) shirt? I’ve personally had people tell me I’m dumb and/or wrong. Many, many times. Sometimes in an aggressive manner. I probably experience this more than you because I’m vegetarian and you are not. That is just my experience.
I thought the end, where Nussbaum compared the British version to the American version, was especially insightful:

Effortlessness like this takes craft. Drunkenness is not enough, which we know for certain, since the experiment has been tried across the Atlantic. The British “Drunk History”—which you can catch in clips on YouTube—is terrible. It’s depressing. It’s not funny, but that’s not really the problem... No one responds. It’s hard to create chemistry with Big Brother.

I love Drunk History for all the reasons she articulated. I've never watched the British version. She has persuaded me not to waste my time.

Her appreciation of Drunk History reminds me of a line from Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles:

And it was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity.

It's a quality Nussbaum seems especially atuned to in her reviews. The show High Maintenance shares a similar tenderness for the human condition, "sweet, filthy, and forgiving". It was her review of the show, years ago when it was still a web series, which turned me on to it.

As humans, sometimes we need humanity. Even Steve Jobs recognized it:

Hi Simon, I work at GitLab. Sorry for the radio silence. I do know we prioritize follow up based on company size & order size.

I assume the relevant product manager (Victor) hasn't heard this complain before but that doesn't show from his answer.

This feature was open sourced in 11.0 https://about.gitlab.com/2018/06/22/gitlab-11-0-released/#sq... after many people requested it https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34591 but the code has been in use by users since GitLab 8.17 (Feb 22, 2017) https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/1024 so I think that is why Victor assumed this was a user specific problem.
I don’t think policy can fix this. The only peaceful solution I can imagine is a general rebellion against the use of money to organize our economy. If you are reading this you are a prime candidate to implement alternatives. Hint: bitcoin isn’t it.

I'm not sure what you mean; I can't imagine any circle where anyone would care either way.

Sorry, I make a point of not watching trash on Channel 5 ;)

No, I didn't say or even suggest that - I'm honestly just trying to understand what you mean. Also, you made a good point regarding retirement.
"Holier than thou" at its finest.
I don't see why that's unfortunate. It was the route taken here, too:

> Despite several email exchanges, Uber never agreed to reimburse her the extra money. But she disputed the charge with her credit card company and got back her $98. Uber then canceled her account.

Problem solved.

> If neither Uber nor the credit card issuers agree to reimburse the victims of fraud in Miami, it’s not clear if the dispute becomes an issue for the county or the state.

But I didn't read any evidence that a credit card issuer has denied the customer's dispute. In fact every (reasonable) case I've ever heard of the card issuer sides with the cardholder and not the merchant.
Good point.

EDIT: Actually, I think that Godaddy upsells email pretty hard when you buy a domain there. I don't think it requires manual DNS configuration.
Though of course you are right that most people won't bother.
So basically they volunteer on tasks that bear no risks of failure whatsoever and therefore rarely provide a chance of personal growth.

In my book, not getting promoted for volunteering on these tasks is more than fair. No risk, no fun.
The idea, "work from anywhere", helped me leave big, dirty, over crowded, complicated city for a small, clean, friendly one about four years ago. From my experience- the upsides are- relaxed lifestyle, friendly environment. The downsides are- very slow people all around makes you significantly slower, significantly less competitive work attitude and very few like minded people around.
Correlation doesn’t imply causation. People with higher IQs self select for more education and are exposed to more eco-philosophy as a consequence.

Also, people with higher IQ self select for higher paying jobs and are better able to afford the more expensive vegetarian lifestyle.

Also, IQ is linked to better nutrition and educational opportunity and having parents of a higher economic class with likely higher IQ so again the higher in economic standing your parents are, the more likely you will be presented with environments that will teach vegetarianism.

(That said, as a high IQ person with all those advantages, I still eat meat some of the time.)
This happened to me exactly one week ago. Three days after a very ordinary Sunday afternoon ride I got a ~$80 fee. I contested through the app and got a message containing two close-up pictures of a stained back seat. There was no background of the car, just a close-up of a seat cushion. The ticket was closed immediately after I received the picture. I was able to re-open it by replying to the email of the ticket I received, where I asked for proof of the time it occurred, or proof of anything really. I received a message acknowledging that I wanted proof, and then a generic summary of Uber's policy - once again the ticket was closed.

I am now adamantly not using Uber. Keep your $80 you lost a frequent customer.

Edit: FWIW this was for a ride from SF to RWC. Not in Miami.
After no passengers are in the car they will drive to the junkyard where they will be scrapped for parts. Kidding.

It's likely they may have centers where they "rest" where human employees would clean them after rides (please tell me they'd clean them at least once a month / week) and they could handle that. Though it does raise the question of, do they have cameras on the inside and do those cameras need audio / other privacy questions.
I think the way it is meant to be interpreted as is "inflicting terror", not necessarily in the strict political sense.

Basically it's sneaky, can hit anytime, you don't know how to find & target it, when it's going to attack, where it's going to come from, and what suffering it's going to cause (but you know it's going to be bad). It seems to me the metaphor is quite apt.

Personally, I didn't feel like the usage detracted from the article at all.

I'm not sure why it causes such a strong feeling of "hate". Mild disappointment perhaps, but hate?
E.E. Cummings on Art, Life, and Being Unafraid to Feel
As I understand it, ME is used to remotely control the processor like in a datacenter. If a datacenter is buying hundreds of thousands of these it makes sense to have it on by default so their people don't have to go in and turn anything on. As much as I recognize it as a vulnerability (to the extreme), it doesn't make sense to have it off by default. They should certainly support a way to _permanently_ disable it. I wish there were easy tools to verify ME is "not accessible" since I don't work in a datacenter and I wouldn't know how to test that it's off.

Things that come with great benefit to risk for abuse:

- Intel ME

- Computrace

- Device Guard

So is this article just referencing musician Glenn Kurtz and TED-ed animation? It would be nice to have the actual research papers linked somewhere too on which these assertions are based on. I mean sure it is plausible that playing instrument benefits the brain just like any activity that exercises it like chess, poker maybe even video games. But how big of an effect it actually is? It's never mentioned on the article nor the video.

I'm curious how this even made to the front-page.

I am angry when they tell you what you can eat. Whilst we let them be vegans, or vegetarians they don't want us to be meat eaters. That is the difference. Yes, you have meat eaters mocking vegans and vegetarians, but they still wont deny your right to be one. And this is effectively doing that.

But this whole thing is probably about forcing the employees to bring in their own food and cutting down company costs. They're still growing and don't make any huge amount of profit.
I don't watch YouTube bullshit.

Treasury Dpmt Policy Change Protects Privacy of Wealthy 'Dark Money' Donors
So I'm aggressively non-vegetarian, and my mom is aggressively vegan, even trying to raise me as such. I was curious to ask her what she thought about this, since she clearly has strong opinions on the subject. She _concurred_ that it felt very eerie for ones place of work starting to have these sorts of "opinions." While there's something of a status-quo in the US that "a professional should probably not be getting drunk on the company dime" I honestly don't perceive the same zeitgeist within vegetarianism. Simply but, my work should NOT be in the business of trying to influence my personal socio-economic choices. I realize this may not be a popular opinion nowadays, but I'd put it well under the bucket of "I don't trust them to use that power for exclusively good." (Nor do I necessarily think my and their idea of 'good' will always align; I feel similarly about the workplace health plans, while I realize the potential benefit, I'm scared about the implications of them having that purview and data)

From my standpoint as someone who has been struggling for decades to maintain a healthy bodyweight (normally very under, stress based appetite loss) and for whom meat is often one of the few things that enables this, a company saying this is very much a "You Are Not Welcome" and feels quite "aggressive" to me; it CERTAINLY feels like proselytizing.

And then on the pragmatic side, I don't think it's a lack of confronting my omnivore nature, it's that this seems like an absurd way to do so. It reminds me of the "stop showering to save california drought." There's a bit of a tragedy-of-the-commons problem with telling people Just Don't Eat Meat, and I would worry that as it does to me, it causes more people to dig their heels in further. I'm VERY WILLING to adjust my spending habits to pay for more ethically raised meat. I live in a farming community now and buy most of mine from a local farmers market. I'm VERY WILLING to see this become more expensive if we legislate effective animal treatment laws. I'm VERY WILLING to add carbon taxes and other methods to properly align externality-based-incentives. I'm NOT willing to give up one of the short list of things that brings some happiness into what is (for all humans) a very short time on this earth to make a moral point, I'd rather attack the problem from other angles.

I realize this is selfish but I'd hope it's also pragmatic enough that those on the other side realize we still have the same goal; I'm concerned that this, like many of the other "my way or the highway"-sounding stances, will serve to wedge people more than Solve The Underlying Problem.
It looks like many of STM’s newer chips (at least STM32F4, STM32L1) use a fuse to protect RDP level 2 (per e.g. https://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/a...), making the downgrade attack significantly harder to pull off. It would be nice to know if this was indeed the case, because then there would be a viable mitigation for these exploits (move to a different chip family and enable RDP 2 there).

Good one! Let me try another angle: the greatest trick is to cover up the simple fact that the redistribution of wealth is arbitrary. We could agree that the owners of German Shepherd dogs do not pay VAT on Thursdays if they have a green hat on. Royals and the like were convincing people for who knows how many millennia that their status and power is from god. In a way we have the same with current tax laws, we all think they come from "somewhere", whether it's a necessity or logic, experience or a textbook. The search space is much larger than what we make use of.
