The HP Envy x360 has a noticeably worse screen though. Its definitely not the same class or caliber as the Spectre x360.

That's what I'm talking about: most laptop manufacturers offer a "premium" Intel laptop. But then they have a lower-quality AMD one on the side.

Nothing AMD has done wrong per se, just laptop manufacturers refuse to sell AMD on the high-end.
In reality 1% of 3 million kids clicking on 'Free vbux!!' and converting is 30,000 kids having malware ridden phones, doing god knows what to god knows who.

Well, most of those kids will run outdated Android versions with many known vulnerabilities. And they cannot update their phones, because they have locked firmware and walled-garden OS, largely put in place to make them buy new phones.

Again, the proper solution beyond a good security baseline is to educate people.
I believe it may be because the email only mentioned Intel explicitly and had a "I won't be buying Intel in future" (paraphrased) comment. However, I personally wouldn't assume that AMDs HT implementation doesn't have similar issues.
Meaningfulness can and should be something you can create in daily life, not push off to some once-a-year event. It may not be something you feel 24/7, but surely someone can muster up some kind of really fascinating reality to create or explore at least on a daily basis. Crafting, the outdoors, weekly D&D sessions, all kinds of things offer all kinds of neat little worlds you can explore and be a part of something bigger.

One of the big reasons why gaming is as big as it is is because it provides that kind of larger-than-life atmosphere, pretty much on tap.
Sucks that "Internet Explorer" can't browse websites. I just want to open aol, geocities, altavista may be?
We're still removing your code. Thanks buf. :)
> I'd be curious what type of business would be attractive to you.

Businesses that create value in physical world with stuff customers can touch i.e.: architecture, civil engineering, car companies or even weapon industry for sake of argument.

I still believe that physical objects have more value than "virtual stuff".
Yeah code is law so far.

You will want to unlink the transaction and reintegrate later just to avoid the challenge. The disagreement with your actions might not come from the state, after all.
From my understanding, you can't (necessarily) even rely on your guest's CPUs mapping to the host's actual CPUs, which makes spending time twiddling NUMA actively useless. Assuming that's actually the case, I very much doubt the guest's scheduler has the ability to schedule tasks between logical and physical cores, based on priority.
Part of it could be due to conditioning but part of it is due to the fact that 15 TET is just another type of compromise, one that actually puts the perfect fifth even more out of tune than 12 TET, even though some of the other intervals are less tempered.

I'm sure you've heard about this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_intonation

Most people brush off the concept because of a lack of accessible music, and because a lot of musicians writing the music, well, let's just say they lack a sense of popular sentiment. I don't think it discredits the theory, which is based in physics. Potentially, tuning intervals by ratios can be used to write the same style of music we are used to (without tempered intervals) just as well as providing harmonies that we don't have access to in our prevalent (Western) tuning system.
China is a communist dictatorship where you can be arrested and possibly murdered for saying the wrong thing. This can happen in the interior and has even happened in places supposedly free from the terror of the Party, like in Hong Kong. This clearly shows that the Chinese do not have rights-based rule of law.

Given that it is a Communist Dictatorship and that it does not have rights-based rule of law, mass internment camps are not very surprising.
Just my 2c -- maybe not, this is just a way of thinking about problems that might come handy in some usually unexpected way. Also, it could be cool to mumble to your geek friends on use cases of alpha conversion and beta reduction.

Seriously though, I do not know Lisp, but if you know OCaml you probably have a good feel for lambda calculus just from practical application of the language. My 2c.
Sure and that is going to me a lot of people who live pay check to pay check paid in a constant dollar amount of people who have a little savings but must store it mostly in dollars.
Someone might argue that Apple is buying wholesale and selling retail where the standard markup is 33%. It's not my issue. Just an observation.

I don't quite get the last sentence.

> who could look at how Europe treats Android and come to the conclusion that Google made the right decision by being open?

Google was fined on antitrust grounds. I don't see which direction to leap to make that sentence relevant to them being fined.

From the EU’s competition commissioner

> Fine of €4,34 bn to @Google for 3 types of illegal restrictions on the use of Android. In this way it has cemented the dominance of its search engine. Denying rivals a chance to innovate and compete on the merits. It’s illegal under EU antitrust rules. @Google now has to stop it

That is essentially the definition of a blue chip stock.
No networking can touch silicon-level interconnect between cores or within cores on a single chip, at least for latency. Erlang's model of computation doesn't have much to say about physical implementation, and multi-socket/distributed systems are not perfomant for latency-critical user applications. For servers and high performance computing sure, I guess in theory we could use tons of simple single-core chips, but fabrication costs and energy efficiency would be significantly worsened.
I'd rather they didn't use the Apache trademark, too; just write a clear license of your own rather than trying to hijack a license with a radically different purpose but existing goodwill and then reversing it's meaning with an add-on clause.
Hate to go off on a tangent, but there was that article about how NIH lead I think nextdoor to abandon cron and make their own alternative. I wish we could do both, be willing to learn and understand history and context but be willing to break the mold. We seem to be off in the reinvent everything mode because we all want to innovate, even when that innovation is unwarranted.
To everyone saying that Apple/Google maintain the hardware/infra for Apps and so deserve a cut, I think the question here is about being forced into it. Imagine if Microsoft did the same with Windows; people would be outraged.
Ultimately it’s of course their choice, but I truly believe that a “fee-less” App Store would be better for the party that so seldom gets mentioned: me, the consumer. I’m the one that’s ultimately paying the 30%, not the apps. I already paid 1000$ for this phone, if I spend money on Netflix I want that money going to making great tv shows, all of it, not 70% of it.
Is it US only?
There are absolutely situations in which a substantially cheaper but less-secure/safe solution to a problem can make economic sense.

Suppose you have $5k, you need a car in order to feed your family, and that only the following two options are available: You can buy the safe car for $10k or a less safe car for $5k.

In that situation, less safety can be a reasonable choice.

Indeed, there was a long period of time in which Volvos were demonstrably more safe than other lower-cost vehicles, yet people bought the lower-cost vehicles.

In the cloud-offering world, instead of marketing servers as "less-secure", they can simply offer "more-secure" options that run on non-HT hardware. HIPAA-compliant cloud-buyers will have to upgrade, and then the cloud vendors can slowly lower the prices on both, making the less-secure option lower cost than the present day.
Yeah but they just wouldn't market it that way. It's easy enough to spin. You have the regular version, then you have the "enhanced security" version.
Car manufactures do exactly that all the time though. Things like auto emergency braking and side airbags are still options that you can pay extra for. Airbags, anti lock brakes, backup cameras, etc. were all available as optional upgrades for decades before they got mandated.
The latter question is very important indeed. If you for instance render websites in your vm they, if i understand correctly, can potentially read secrets from other processes, like db credentials and other stuff...

If the only real solution is to turn off HT/SMT that, seen positively, should net us a lot faster VMs then...
No, with taxes they lose (typically sub) 30 % off the top of profit, not revenue. This is 30 % off the top on revenue.

The writing is in the wall for Iran just like it was for Iraq. It's just a question of when not if... With the destruction of Iran the Middle East will be finally pacified for US and Israeli interests.
> SMT is fundamentally broken because it shares resources between the two cpu instances and those shared resources lack security differentiators.

I thought the root of one of the Foreshadow problems was that caches are shared across cores, and therefore even with hyperthreading disabled, you still gain information about a process on another core. Am I misinterpreting it?

It does seem like the paranoid thing to do is that each socket gets to be used by only a single user. (I half-jokingly suggested at work that we replace our internal cloud with a Beowulf cluster of Raspberry Pis...)

It also seems like you could design OSes in a way which is more robust to this, e.g., certain cores are only for the kernel and processes running as root, and system calls are inter-processor interrupts, so privileged kernel (or userspace root) data doesn't go into untrusted caches at all.
Sorry, though I spend a lot of time on bc and h1, I didn't mention that I also hunt on other companies outside bc & h1. and btw not all companies offer monetary rewards. some are just swags and other stuffs.

>The same focusing technique can work for monotonic sounds - it's quite amusing to observe how fridge's buzz turns into full-blown symphony :).

Ooooh yeah I would get that sometimes...crickets playing electronica, window screens playing bluegrass, and shower faucet playing heavy metal.
Let me clarify, not everyone in the "younger" group will work 10-12 hours, but those that have the option probably don't have kids. Those in the "high performers" category almost certainly exercise that option and work extra hours. There are obviously exceptions, but I think it's just that. An exception to the rule.

This is kind of the place where I'm at personally. I used to be the "high performer". I was always the go-to guy. I got there by working extra hours. Now that I can't work those hours, and I'm starting to meet my physical limits, I'm getting talked to about my performance.
It's not clear that he's using "SMT" to refer to AMD specifically as he goes on to talk about "Intel CPUs" and disabling it in "Intel BIOS". Does the Zen architecture have the same issue?
That highlights one thing to keep in mind when evaluating their 2017 growth: EB purchased both Ticketscript and Ticketfly that year.
They can sue but it's not illegal, and they very well may not be able to get any money from you for truthful statements.
More importantly it punishes the organization for something that is an organizational failing, whereas jailing an individual system administrator for a data breach punishes the individual for the incompetency of their superiors.
> Also, GPLv3 already prevents you from tacking on the Commons Clause

It prevents relicensing under the Commons Clause, but I don't see that GPLv3 + Commons Clause would be impossible as an original license, though it has more inherent conflicts to create ambiguity as to actual legal effect than Apache 2.0 + Commons Clause.
Interesting django project. I was curious about comments regarding https://arcamens.com/ in comparison to taiga.

Arcamens is also a django project.
Absolutely, 100% not the case. I was in grad school, working on smartphones so had access and used a lot of them. iPhone was MILES and MILES better. Obviously so.

Her explanation follows the last passage you quote:

> Ms. Brennan-Jobs said she wrote “Small Fry” in part to figure out why he withheld money from her even as his wealth ballooned, and as he spent it more freely on the children he had with Ms. Powell Jobs. She said she now sees it was about teaching her that money can corrupt.

> The ethos “felt true and kind of beautiful and kind of enlightened for somebody like that,” she said. Still, the question was “why he would have taken that value system and applied it so severely to me.”
If it was $100 it would revolutionize the world. At $1000 we should dust off our Magic Leap obituaries.
I think EC2 has isolated cores (except t1/t2/t3) all along.
"Men" don't fight. Some people fight. Asserting that men fight is a broad, gender-based stereotype.
If it looks like criminal behavior, LEO and the courts are going to treat it like criminal behavior. What you're suggesting carries a very large risk profile for someone living in a country where it can be safely assumed that all communications are captured.

Someone who places a high value on their freedom and happens to live in most of the desirable countries probably shouldn't be doing this.

OpSec shouldn't be treated lightly -- there's good reasons why folks like the grugq live in Thailand.
My quick advice would be to:

1) As tempting as it is, DO NOT refactor the code right now. Do the minimal amount of work needed to complete the task.

2) Start etching out some time with your manager/tech-lead to start writing unit tests for the code.

3) Gradually refactor code that is unit tested.
Part of that goes to the venue and occasionally the bands too: https://www.laweekly.com/music/ticketmaster-and-servants-ban...
All this plus-it is so much easier to have all my subscriptions for apps in one place to know who I'm paying monthly, and to able to cancel them all in one place through Apple.

I'm tired of signing up for subscriptions and going through a series of dark patterns on a zillion websites to figure out how to manage and cancel my subscriptions. The worst is when there's one click to subscribe and they make you phone in to an annoying retention specialist to cancel.
Yes, because the average user buys into the lie that "by adhering to this one simple trick you get 100% security", just like people tolerate the TSA with the same reasoning as a means "to fight terrorism".
Have you ever used flex box?
If you render websites that run code in your VM (e.g., you're running a traditional shared hosting infrastructure where mutually-untrusted users can upload PHP scripts, or you're doing something serverless / FaaS / Cloudflare Workers / etc. where mutually-untrusted users can upload functions), then yes. If you're rendering websites in the sense of hosting WordPress for lots of people but not permitting custom plugins, then no.

> The 30% cut they ask of developers is more than reasonable.

When you're a platform vendor, what's reasonable is something you work out collaboratively with the people who use your platform. They will frequently have different ideas of what's reasonable than you do. You can disagree, but if you simply refuse to negotiate the users will eventually get fed up and go somewhere else. To succeed as a platform vendor you need users, so it's in your interest to be flexible enough to find a modus vivendi that both you and your users feel is reasonable -- or at least, close enough to reasonable for everyone to live with.
Will be interesting to see what Apple does about this in their next software update. I can’t imagine many people will be happy if the next software update forcibly disables hyper threading.

(For those who aren’t familiar with Apple devices, Apple don’t expose settings like this to a user, which are usually available in the BIOS on a PC)
How do you know that the takedown was due to the content being anti-something? I’m genuinely asking.

There is an endless supply of deeply offensive content on fb that’s not taken down. Including anti-Israel/Pro-Palestine.

If you believe the official announcement, this content was taken down not because some people disagree with it, but because it’s “inauthentic”.
You have been listening to 12-tet literally your entire life, so microtonal music is inevitably going to sound strange.

Having said that, 15-tet is pretty rancid. 22-tet can be much more consonant.

My understanding (let me know if I'm wrong) is that Hyperthread aware OSes (which is like what, everything since WinXP/Linux kernel 2.4?) will schedule lower priority tasks to the logical cores and higher priority tasks to the real cores

That is not how I understand it. The OS sees two identical logical cores per physical core and the CPU manages which is which internally. Also it's not really high and low priority - it's two queues multiplexing between the available execution units. If one queue is using the FPU then the other is free to execute integer instructions, but a thousand cycles later they might have switched places. Or if one queue stalls while fetching from main memory, the other gets exclusive use of the execution units until it gets unstuck.

In my floating-point heavy tests on i7 however, there is still a small advantage in leaving HT on, the common wisdom is if you are doing FP, HT is pointless and may actually harm performance, but that doesn't match my observations if your working set doesn't fit into L2 cache. YMMV.

A semi-modern OS will try to keep a process on the same physical core if it can, so it may be flipflopping between two logicals, but should still see the same cache. Disabling HT means the OS still sees logical cores, but half as many of them, with a 1:1 correspondence between logicals and physicals.
"Inside it, employees were connecting with each other, at times emotionally, about their childhoods, hopes, and fears. Council etiquette prohibits me from telling you what ­others shared, but during one of my turns with the geode, I told the group an embarrassing childhood story about getting sick during a family beach vacation. "

Scientology much?

Really. This is exactly the technique used to indoctrinate people into a cult. It is all about getting emotional hooks into the new member of the group. Secrecy, and the corresponding threat it implies, that creates loyalty. Knowing the secrets of others fosters group identity.

Snap probably doesn't realize it, but this will not end well. It does not scale. Eventually "counsel" will become a secret room for the "in" people of the leadership team. Knowledge of secrets will divide groups. Eventually something will happen and things will implode.
> Again, the proper solution beyond a good security baseline is to educate people.

"The beatings will continue until your security improves!"
You could run the entire free tier there and disable it for paying customers - I'm sure there's a significant fraction of Amazon and Google's clouds, at least, that are on the free tier, and saving money on those would help everyone (they'd let people who aren't yet at a significant enough scale to care about security play around with things for free, and they'd let the cloud providers pack them very tightly).
Right, the thing is there are 100 other reasons to use Monero if you spend any time using transparent blockchains.

What is described here works for all 100 reasons and is a best practice and is indiscriminate from what a hacker needs to do

The only "outlier" for your overzealous prosecutor's conspiracy charge is that not a lot of people understand this best practice. The solution? Talk about it.
My own speculation on this is that it's a complicated legal dance to allow a native to and manufactured in China "trusted" processor that is tolerable for use in higher security government (Chinese) computers and systems.

They might have also baked in slight tweaks or customized whatever back-doors could be included if such things exist...

It's better to think of it as a Chinese subsidiary in a franchise system.
Honestly, it seems like a pretty clear intention to co-opt a term ("commons") which has usually meant "let's share things!" to mean something entirely different. (And shame on them for doing that.)

Nope. Just like tiny fraction of a fraction of silicon valley. A ridiculous small portion of americans ( even in silicon valley ) move to japan and vice versa. But it gets a lot of clicks and views.

Consumers make less safe but cheaper decisions all the time. My point wasn't about the choice. It was about the seller trying to market it as such.
There are cache partitioning implementations to isolate cores from each other, but mainly to prevent noisy neighbors from bumping you out of the higher level caches.

https://danluu.com/intel-cat/

Cache timimg attacks are the old hat in the Timing side channel business, the newer attacks are cooler because the memory maps are not checked and you can determine the caching status of memory not mapped into your processes address space. (AFAIK)
There are new countercultural / underground things going on that the hive mind techie culture hasn't found yet because the few of us that are lucky enough to be included in it know how fast things get discovered / ruined now. It's hard though. People like using Snap and Insta as their journal.
Would having a "license" for companies instead of individual devs make more sense? Imagine Google losing its license to use personal data to target advertisements - this would make them much more sensitive to protecting their users from malicious entities.
Just because you aren't having all your desires perfectly catered to does not mean that there is not real choice. It means that, like everything else in life, you have to make tradeoffs.
