How is it irrelevant that the day after the apocalypse, when money is meaningless and law and order are gone, all of that preparation is just free for the taking by someone stronger? What does a CEO have to offer in that scenario? Leadership? Lol. No. Unless their prepping isn’t all about relying on people they pay to do things for them, they’re screwed.

Before an apocalypse they have a lot of power, but only as long as they’re still just trying to accrue wealth.

> However I don’t think that a reseller in London should be able to offer a better deal than a reseller in say New Castle or Leeds because they are bigger.

While I agree a suburban / rural / remote customer shouldn't necessarily have to pay more, how do we reconcile this with the idea of economies of scale?

If a larger retailer moves more units and can negotiate a better price from the supplier shouldn't they be able to pass (some of) that saving on to the retail customer?

I thought this is, at least one reason, why franchises existed, so retailers can take advantage of bulk purchasing power?
> Which has >50M people, 2/3 of the population of Germany. In that comparison, that region should have then 2/3 of the rail network of Germany. It has 1 medium-speed rail line.

What the U.S. also has is 275 million other people who (1) won't benefit from such a rail network; and (2) won't vote to fund it; (3) will condition any support of Amtrak on useless long-distance routes through low-density regions that sap money away from the only corridor in the U.S. where rail makes sense. And it's a completely rational decision for those people.

Since when did Apple or anyone claim this ?

I have had a Mac since the 512K days and they have always shipped with commodity components and Apple has never had some magic pixie dust that made them fail at lower rates than if they were in a PC. Nor have they ever individually tested every machine to guarantee it works.

Firebase would be a great integration! Being able to query/store data from it, and jump into any service from it seamlessly - that's the dream.

We're thinking about different approaches to pulling this off - if it's for a greenfield app, then maybe we control your schema.

If we're integrating with an existing app, we'd probably have to walk your entire schema and try to pull out the normalized data-structures and figure out nullable fields/their types/etc., then allow you to make the final edits that would be enforced when accessing/updating it from OneGraph.

Acela is a great example of why high speed rail in the U.S. is a stupid idea. It's primarily used by business travelers between Boston and DC (and points in-between). Even if Amtrak didn't have to support money-losing long distance routes, Amtrak could not operate Acela without Congress footing the bill for capital expenditures. (Acela runs an operating profit, but that's ignoring the fact that Congress pays for the tracks and trains.) Why the heck should the other 80% of the country pay tax money for a service that's only useful to well-off travelers in the northeast?

It can access all of main memory (and actively uses this ability as part of operations, probably for MMIO communications with UEFI and SMM), but I do think the little 486+-class cores have a bit of their own dedicated RAM on-chip. This makes sense; you don't want MINIX's operation interfering with whatever OS is running, and besides, if you did use main RAM, masking the used pages (with the MMU), so the OS couldn't simply observe/control everything, would honestly leave too much of a visible dent in the system and probably make more of a stink.

I'm taking into account the specifics of this particular scenario. I'm aware of other context, but in this case I'm not generalizing. ME updates are signed, and there's currently no complete "perfect" jailbreak, so the effective summarization is "it's locked down".

Considering the specifics of other DRM implementations, well, my favorite DRM is WideVine, since that runs on Linux, there's nothing like HDCP for audio yet, so... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15796420 :D - but see all the replies :(, some DRM is indeed that locked down in practice, with no straightforward recourse.

> That's silly. It's a CPU. It runs software. It speaks to devices with drivers. There's no technical meat to your argument.

Technically you're right, for a strict/narrow definition of "CPU" that describes an abstract bridge between a perfect software environment and the squishy/vague real world. I'm not using that definition. I'm also not looking at Intel products as CPUs here (or, okay, not just CPUs), but as devices that contain a component I literally cannot control, with the exception of some vulnerability PoC code that's already been patched. The established status quo is that I cannot own this part of my hardware, that I'm buying the physical package but relinquishing [control over] some aspect[s] of its operation[s] to the manufacturer['s agenda].

The ME runs Minix, which does use drivers, sure. But that's back to looking at hardware exclusively from the software side of things, which is not the basis of this argument.

Amusingly enough, plants have way more heritability of acquired traits than humans do. Epigenetic effects in plants are stable across multiple generations to a much greater extent than in mammals, as far as recent studies can tell.

Of course "epigenetic effects are real and persist across many generations" is very different from the blank slate theory.
Great to see GKE coming to enterprise datacenters!

You wouldn't say "He isn't marching with Black Lives Matter, who want to make America a communist dictatorship" just because someone claimed to see Black Bloc anarchists at a BLM event or because a Maoist offered words of support, would you?

PS: You have a good point about naive ignorance - but the form of malicious and hateful ignorance we both identify as toxic is still borne out by statistics to be more common in the Middle East and North Africa than it is in the west. Due to it being sanctioned by multiple governments there, it affects me personally (I am actually not allowed to visit certain countries) and geopolitically in the form of strife/taxation, and migration (European Jews wearing kippah are now facing street harassment in prejudiced neighborhoods). I do not believe that saying this makes me hateful, I would love to wave a wand and get along with whoever may hate me for bad reasons - I am just assessing the practical level of anti-Semitism that is out in the world and how it ends up actually affecting my non-digital life. Trust me, the vast majority of anti-Semites are not taking the lead from white nationalists.

I had a serious slowdown issue on my 2010 MacBook Pro that took me a few years to figure out. It started after I spilled tea on it. The system appeared to function normally, but was very slow. When I ran top as root, it showed that kernel process was always using one core (>100% out of 200). I tried reinstalling the OS, changing options and upgrading, to no avail.

Apparently, the OS does this to prevent thermal damage. It perceives that the CPU is overheating, so it sends one core into an idle loop to prevent it from doing real work.

Finally, I took it to an Apple repair shop whose diagnostics determined the CPU thermal sensor was not working. That didn’t immediately help. After much web searching, I found that a fix for this it was to completely disable the power management profile by deleting it. Now the machine works perfectly normally in terms of everything - heat, fans and performance. The machine seems to work identically to its original behavior, so I am puzzled at what function the power management profile performs.

For instance, in a social democracy you could have supports in place such that people unable to afford housing, food, or healthcare could be provided with those things, whereas in our system the amount of assistance available is quite small and often gated by onerous or humiliating procedures, meaning a high level of precarity for the 43% of households which can't really afford those things (let alone deal with a large, unexpected expense).

> Overpredict? According to what?

See, for example, here:

https://judithcurry.com/2015/12/17/climate-models-versus-cli...

Note that this actually understates the overprediction, because the models whose average is shown included three sets of models that made three different assumptions about how CO2 would rise. But CO2's actual rise over the period where we're comparing models with data was about the same as the assumption of the "worst case" (or "business as usual") scenario, so that scenario is the only one that's relevant to the comparison between models and data. And when you compare just that sheaf of models with the data, the divergence between model and data is even larger.

For the reasons why the upper troposphere temperature comparison is more relevant than the surface temperature comparison (which is what is shown in the IPCC AR5), see the article.

> According to NASA[1] we're already at a 0.9 degree anomaly for 2017. The IPCC prediction[2] is 1 degree anomaly in 2020 for the worst case prediction in the worst case scenario.

But, as you note, the two anomalies are relevant to two different baselines. That means the comparison is invalid, not "not perfect".

> if you want to look at IPCC's best case scenarios, the prediction is about 0.1 degree

That's for future temperature change under the future best case scenario. It has nothing to do with past temperature change under the actual scenario that actually happened.

> See page 11

Those graphs don't show models vs. data. They show models only (and with the actual time period for which we have data compressed on the far left of the graphs so you can't extract any useful comparison with data from them).

The Summary for Policymakers, which is what you linked to, does not show any direct comparison between models and data for a period for which we have data. Previous reports did, but in this one they decided not to--it's only buried in the WG1 report, in Chapter 9, p. 768:

http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/wg1/WG1AR5_Chap...

The divergence between the CMIP5 mean (red) and the actual temperatures (black) in the upper graph in the 2000s is visible; the EMIC mean in the lower graph only appears to go up to 2000 so it doesn't provide a useful comparison. Also, both of these graphs show all of the models, not just the ones whose CO2 rise assumptions matched reality over the data period, so they understate the actual overprediction for the reason I gave above.

You are deeply wrong and need to look at proper maps.

Note sure why this fact would be down-voted. We don't include Greenland or e.g. French Polynesian dependencies in the European total. Sweden is slightly larger than California, with 1/4 the population. Et caetera. Really, you should look at maps, population facts, as well as the extent and quality of railroads.

And quit pretending that there is no rail connection across Europe. [1] America is failing when it comes to 21st century pubic transportation. Angrily lagging behind European, Japanese [2], or Chinese [3] railroads is not a healthy path.
