I am answering my own question because I got a reply from engelbart institute. Posting here so other people can benefit:

Hi Steve,

Happy to answer your questions. I'm wondering what's your interest and how you learned about it?

Sorry I missed your earlier email. Unfortunately NLS/augment is not available to download, although we are trying to get a copy running again, but that could be awhile and access would be limited at first. And we don't have any extra keysets unfortunately, nor do I know the status of Open Augment :(

But the great news is that Dean Meyer who got his start in Doug Engelbart's lab and spent the last 30+ years as a management consultant and author in the CIO arena, along the way developed a PC-based version of NLS/Augment called HyPerform - which I've recently started using myself - it has virtually all the basic editing, browsing, and publishing features of Augment and then some, and is very true to the original system. I'm planning

Learn more re: HyPerform system requirements and order information
at http://www.ndma.com/resources/ndm8543.htm

Let me know if you have any questions,
Best,

. . .

Oh also if this is any interest to you, we've just resurrected HyperScope -- a web browsing prototype including most of the Augment browsing, jumping and viewspec features -- at http://hyperscope.org. If you want to take that for a spin, see the download instructions at the site. If you're on a mac, you can download this wine-wrapped firefox2.0 to run on Mac that someone created for me, it's working great for me.
Sorry... http://rmitz.org/freebsd.daemon.html

I have done both - minimum and more than 20%. Since mortgage rates are so low, it may be better to put your money is something profitable or save it for a rainy day. However, if you do not put down at least 20%, then you will pay an extra fee to private mortgage insurance.
Looking at the image, looks like the die size is around 10-36 mm2,so presumably it's meant to be an ultra low performance chip?
It is not really something negative (because it will have to be seen in the future), but to me the biggest point about RISC-V is whether it will deliver its promise of eventually giving birth to completely open and high quality CPUs. The experiments so far are interesting and the people and firms working on it seems (to me) to be trustworthy, but the implementations so far are still lacking: the HiFive Unleashed board has a lot or proprietary IP inside and I am told that it has some stability problems. I understand and agree that things take time, but in the end we will have to see if a good and open ecosystem develops around RISC-V or not.
You admit that you're not into crypto, yet above you tried to propose a solution to the problems with PKI, as if the people that ARE into crypto hadn't thought of it.

Great analogy! I'm stealing that.
It’s not as big of a deal as you might expect because:

- The spec requires providers to allow independent addition / removal of multiple keys per account, so it’s easy to manage backup U2F keys.

- Providers can use any backup authentication method they want. This includes SMS codes, TOTP / HOTP apps, email resets, or maybe VCing in to tech support.

And even if the backup method is less awesome (e.g. sms codes) it still reduces your risk because because you use it less often.

We're trialling BigQuery at the moment, pushed about 130TB into it last week (about ~300 billion rows) and have been blown away by the performance of it.

It's a bit of a shame they never released a paper on how it works, well, nothing since Dremel anyway. And Collosus isn't public either.

I can already see this in built ML stuff being useful for trialling models, especially as it's built right into the SQL.
Thanks for pointing it out. Corrected.
No, you're getting the best of both worlds, because it's incredibly clear to the infrastructure maintainers what version everyone's on, whether or not the old version can be safely deprecated, who is responsible for deprecating it, etc.
Not just cooling -- the G5 drew too much power to be viable in one of Apple's growth markets at the time: laptops. The Intel Core chips were based on the Pentium M microarchitecture and so already had power characteristics that were suited for laptop use.

Of course, POWER would go on to be a great arch for desktop and server use, but that wasn't enough for Apple after the G4.
My guess is that it's related to support costs. If you lose your hardware key and fail Google's automated account recovery, that's a feature! If you lose your Dropbox hardware key, I'm guessing they have a proprietary recovery procedure that's not regulated by a government. If you lose a key that's associated with your bank account, that bank by law must still give you access to your account, and support costs to do that are likely higher than the systems they already have in place. Or maybe it's just hard to add this to aging infrastructure held together by duct tape, dunno.
I have more faith in a company such as GSK that takes data and privacy seriously than a company like 23&Me running mostly by silicon valley Kids that "Go fast and break things".
Isn't that advice based on retiring at 55-65, with the expectation of 20-25 years of life ahead of you - such that even with zero growth you could expect never to burn down your retirement fund entirely?

If you expect to live longer than that, 4% seems aggressive - it's far more than you'll make annually in interest in low-risk investments, and arguably more than you can expect from the stock market in recent conditions, especially after accounting for inflation.

Or -- perhaps more intriguingly -- given that the date in question will never occur, is it valid until the end of time?

Philosophically it's a rather fun question, but practically they'll probably just honor it until the corresponding date of the new era.
Because the general population doesn't give two shits about truly trustless systems, they want "good enough". And, while you and a few others might care about it, that's not enough to actually pay the bills, especially when designing trustless systems costs more money than an alternative. Your hopes and dreams don't pay for infrastructure, unfortunately.

So, once again, what about Protonmail makes them a scam, other than not doing things exactly the way you want them to? I've seen absolutely no indication they're a scam from any of your comments or their replies, and your grievances seem to boil down to one feature (the bridge) being paid-for. That's hardly scam-worthy.
I'm fairly sure it's always undefined behavior to observe those differences, so while it's possible in practice, it'd never work in theory.
It's not exactly related to your post but remember that Agile != Sprints
Good read, waiting for more.
First of all, the ISA does not need implementations to be non-hypothetical. The ISA is defined and frozen and that includes most of the extensions.

There have been 100s of tap-outs from different RISC-V chips. So clearly its not hypothetical in that sense either.

> - They deliberately choose to leave parts of the instruction space open. That’s good for extensibility, but must have a negative effect on code density.

and

> - They are extremely liberal in allowing implementations to mix and match instruction set extensions.

That's not a problem that is a feature. It was specifically designed to extendable and to have many different extensions so implementers could pick and choice of what they want.

RISC-V is designed to work for close to sensor tiny chips all the way to super-computers and everything in between. To be able to handle that with one instruction set you can not force every deeply embedded chip to implement all the features.

To combat the explosion theoretical ISA the foundation defines profiles. Profiles are designed to select standard configurations for specific applications or groups of users. For example, RISC-V for Linux uses 'RV64GC' and all Linux software uses it.

However if you use RISC-V internally you can pick whatever you like for your needs.
Hi – Miguel here. That is totally valid point. I also think this objection stands true for every dependency of your technical infrastructure. This is the kind of decision you have to make, assessing the risks on a case by case basis. I believe no dependency is 100% safe. It can happen to any given service, from companies like Heroku, MixPanel or Segment to the smallest open source library you rely on.

Obviously I think the benefits of outsourcing your in-app subscriptions to us is well worth it, based on our experience and the engineering time you will be saving, but I might be biased :)
GDPR only applies to data of users who are in the EU. A company with users solely in the US is no more affected by GDPR if their developers are in the EU than they are if their developers are in the US or India. Similarly, a company with users in the EU is already affected by the GDPR even if their developers are not in the EU.

Working with Python lately I very much got to like the interactive REPL and its immediate feedback.

I actually think I forgot how to program in C. It lacks almost every data structure I'd deem useful to getting complex and mixed problems solved quickly. C++ provides many things and is useful if you are in a tight spot or you want/need the speed.

If Rust keeps evolving at a quick pace I think I'll look into it a lot in the future.

D seems to me like a good thing that is better in many ways but has some critical drawbacks for me like not working on many microcontrollers (an area where C++ really shines). On the other hand it isn't radical enough to really dive into it.
You should be!

I just called 10 minutes ago and got a general support staff on the phone and then later escalated to a support supervisor -- they said it is in the hands of the "specialist" and it is up to the "specialist" to review the case and fix my account. They could not give me any time update nor could they explain the situation.

So I'm still locked out of my money and in the dark as to why.
"Running Threads" in Windows and Linux don't use any CPU time unless there is something to do.

Most of the time, threads and processes are in the blocked state. For example, waiting for mouse movements, or network traffic.

Check your CPU utilization, I bet you its below 20% if you have anything close to a modern processor. Even with 30+ tabs open
Given the time and cost associated with getting the data and having it in a consistent and usable format, $300MM seems like a huge bargain!
You have to have good people on site who can work with remote workers first. So you can make clear requirements. They also have to feel secure about their jobs. Otherwise they will not cooperate and blame remote workers.

Just hire remote is not an answer for a lot of companies.

If you think you can just do some programming job in fire and forget you are going to be surprised. You have to actually think about what task to give to remote team and what not. What areas are strong for who and divide work accordingly it is a lot of work in itself.

Last but not least, there is ton of legal stuff, compliance, what type of customers you are tending to. Some big corps own specific parts of code and sending something outside country could get you into trouble.

I wish they would! I know it likely wouldn't outperform a broadmarket fund but I'd love to own a share or two of Spacex just to feel like I gave a little money towards it.

Hell, I wish they'd sell non-functional models of their rockets. I'd buy one just to put on a shelf at home to look at and simultaneously support them with a few bucks of profit.
Thank you. I really appreciate your input.
These stats are bad, but it's much worse than just sloppy data gathering in the survey. See the discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17610221

You can get numbers much like HuffPo's if you compare urban San Francisco (population 800,000) to Toronto (population 3,000,000). Which is grossly misleading to begin with, but they then listed it as "Silicon Valley" in the headline and the "San Francisco Bay Area" in the body. Which are, obviously, three fundamentally different regions.

The CBRE data probably isn't perfect, but projecting their San Francisco percentage change back to 2013 does match Census Bureau numbers surprisingly well. Things get a bit confusing in 2018 because it looks like CBRE changed their grouping from SV and SF separately to the whole Bay combined.

Unfortunately, HuffPo didn't know or care about that distinction, so we got this article instead.
Moreover, no one is releasing the gate-level netlists nor the LEF and DEF nor mask data. Without those you can't have security unless you build your own.
I can't see why. After you remove the load again. Rover weight would be the practically the same as before. Maybe a little heavier, but not much.
For me, I put my entire net worth into the 20%. But that was a small percent of my yearly income (I only recently started making really good money).

I use a credit card for 95%+ of my transactions. At the same time, I'm scared of a cashless future. As the article mentions, cash transactions are one of the last vestiges of privacy that we have. A future where the US looks like China, where all of your transactions are visible, is not something I want to see.

Additionally, cash is an equalizer for the unbanked/underbanked. Financial institutions take advantage of and punish their least profitable customers. Those who can barely afford overdraft fees, monthly checking account fees, etc. are the only ones who are forced to pay them.

Yes, blockchain technologies can solve some of these problems, but there will always be those who are outside of the banking system, lose/don't have a smartphone, etc. Greenbacks are tangible to the person standing in line to cash a paycheck at Western Union - Ethereum isn't.

One workaround tactic I've read claimed on forums is the requirements stipulate that the candidate must work with offshore business analyst teams in their native language, which is not English. I can't believe it would be that easy, though. If that actually passes muster with federal immigration review, then these more stringent rules are just a paper tiger and political bluster.

I've seen that as well. Someone who worked in government and moved into the private sector who then used his government contacts to help along his contracting business.

In my opinion, they just need to allow H1B mobility. If H1B workers could easilly switch job once they're here, then they could negotiate higher salaries.

Part of the trick is that an H1B employee cannot complain about poor conditions, or low wages, because they're dependent on the sponsoring company.

If that was true, H1Bs would quickly force wages back up, and employers would once again freely compete for talent.

> Companies want low salaried employees to cut down cost and they use H1 for it

I've long argued that one reason H1B workers are low salaried is because H1B visa makes it harder for them to job hop and earn a better salary. Don't get me wrong, I know H1B visas don't prohibit switching jobs, but it does add enough fiction and it limits access to some employers.

I would love to see fair work visas inspired by Singapore's policies that empower foreign workers to earn market wages. It only makes sense to me that we should absorb as many skilled foreign workers as we can provided they earn some minimal threshold of a salary adjusted for the cost of living in their area. It shouldn't be too high as to make it impossible to get a visa, but it also shouldn't be too low.

Importing skilled tax payers is a great way to grow the economy and provide more revenue to the treasury.

Pushing away foreign workers is just bad policy. It will will only encourage outsourcing and offshoring of offices. That means local economies will never benefit from the wages of foreign workers. Offshore wages can't be taxed. You encourage other countries to accelerate the development of their own tech hubs at the expense of your tech hubs.

Using cash is currently the only way to opt out of this kind of tracking. Being credit card-only is also being anti-consumer-privacy.
>If americans want the jobs then they need to compete in all levels with the competition which includes wages, skills and so on.

Okay but let's also let americans compete on the level that they have an advantage in - Location. If someone wants to outsource, fine, but if they want workers in the states, it shouldn't be foreigners on temporary visas working there.
I work with many H1-B's. People ask why don't they only use H1-B's? They do when they can, but there is a major difference between American and Indian Engineers. Indian Engineers are good at doing a very specific task with clear requirements. However, they struggle with open-ended requirements that require originality and ingenuity to solve.

For instance, I had a co-worker that worked on building a framework based on Angular so that it would be simple and formulaic to make UI updates. Once they were able to see that the Indians could leverage the framework without help, he was let go.

This is no different than what a lot of flippers and small time real estate investors do by buying up numerous condos, duplexes, etc., in an upcoming neighborhood, throwing on a fresh coat of paint and some fake granite counters, and renting for 50% more than the month before.

Instead of VC money, they're leveraging low interest funny money created by banks and de-facto guaranteed now by the feds.

I really don't think the VCs nor the banks care, as long as the rental and AirBNB money keeps flowing, allowing return of principle and even eventual profits. They could care less that it is adding to the unaffordability of homes for everyone else.
There are two issues here:

1. Is your boss misinformed/clueless/you're misunderstanding?

2. Does your boss not care about you?

#1 can be cleared up, as others here say, by better communication and by making sure your boss knows your accomplishments.

If answer to #2 is "boss doesn't care" you'll want to start thinking about new job, or new team at least, because this is just a symptom of a deeper problem.

Don’t worry, Trumps own companies thrive on employing foreign workers using these visas. It’s just more posturing.

These numbers don’t mean there are less workers anyway, more people being denied can also mean the rules are less clear or applied in a more inconsistent way, or it could be that it has become easier or cheaper to apply.
> Is there a way to encrypt message headers while using IMAP?

Other than the Received, Delivered-To and Return-Path headers added by the intermediate MTA servers, every other header in the original message could be encryped, along with the message body when it's delivered to the server (or appended via IMAP).
I'm not talking about the percentage to put down (assume that's fixed at 20%). I mean what % of your net wealth did that 20% downpayment represent? In the example above, if your net worth is $400,000 and you put a downpayment down of $200,000, the downpayment is 50% of your total net worth.
It's probably not the juiciest target, but I could see intelligence agencies wanting it.
