Anything with some kind of returns that you can put back into it will exhibit compounding interest. True of real estate or stocks or even just bank deposits. Even if a stock price goes nowhere but pays a 5% dividend (I'm looking at you, RDSA)

It is trivially true in real estate (Pareto showed that approximately 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.) Why wouldn't it be true in a market where the returns have been higher than real estate?
Well I guess I learned something new today, open source is apparently a term that was defined by somebody and has a counter intuitive meaning. To me it has always meant that the code is available for viewing - nothing more. I assumed this without knowing anything about the OSI.

Just as a curiosity, Redis Labs is offering a hosted Memcached service, so they are a cloud provider profiting from open-source software they did not significantly contribute to. Just saying.

Prove means something differently here. You subpoena records and get every damn email, piece of paper, SMS, meeting transcript, etc. related to the computers. You get invoices from contractors who worked on it. You subpoena the people involved and establish exact timelines of what everyone did, and when.

If these records are incomplete, the judge decides against the police with prejudice.

If the records are complete and there isn’t indications they copied the data and performed analysis entirely off the books, then we say that we’ve proven analysis didn’t happen.

The successor to Burning Man is probably Wasteland Weekend. Even that's getting commercial. It's turning into a music festival.

Burning Man's predecessor beach parties sound a lot like how events in the UK 'rave' scene happened. The commercial clubs took over what was once fun, spontaneous, non-hierarchical and free in the rave/festival scene.

Having a spectacular, out of the world location was always important with 'rave', this could be the grandeur of the great outdoors or an illegally occupied premium site, e.g. the council's own offices rigged with 40K of sound with the place completely off limits for the authorities.

To some degree, whether in town or in remote countryside there was always an aspect of squatting to a true 'rave' event. Even if a venue was legit, e.g. a farm with the farmer being in on the deal, there would be laws, neighbours and active policing with searches. Once inside the autonomous zone life was lived with a very different, trusting 'security model' of community. There was an alternative world there, the same thing Burning Man attendees go to seek but get a ritualised, pastiche of.

In time the law banned 'repetitive beats' and people got old. The dance music that was a big part of 'rave' did live on in the commercialised club scene and with DJs doing legit concert style events, nowadays to fill stadiums. The 'rave' free party scene died along with the ability to temporarily live 'free' from a world of conventional law and order.

Burning Man might not be ideal and far too American for the tastes of many however it offers the illusion of being able to live in that way the UK free party scene offered. Even if it is more akin to an organised festival you can at least pretend that you are living as a 'free man'. Maybe Burning Man can only ever offer a glimpse at the ideals that it is supposed to be about just because there has to be some organisation rather than it being utterly spontaneous. This matters not, Burning Man is established as its own thing and it has been that way since the end of the beach party scene it inherited.
No. I'm sure it will be swayed by CNN, Foxnews, MSNBC, NYtimes, Washington Post and the rest of the media.

Not that it really matters because the elections will be won before the election since money will pick who the candidates are.
Dude, I feel you so much. I got into computing because I loved it. I used to write TSRs and hack binaries for the fun of it.

A cloud "vCPU" is a hyperthread and in good providers (EC2/GCE) they are properly pinned to the hardware such that, for example, a 4-vCPU VM would be placed on two dedicated physical cores. This was probably done for performance originally but now it also has security benefits. You can get hints of this by running lstopo on VMs and similar bare metal servers.

On second and third tier cloud providers, the vCPUs tend to be dynamically scheduled so that they may share cores with other VMs.
>Apple and Google not only created the device and funded the R & D for the features,

App developers have to pay for Apple’s and Google’s R&D and devices? Do consumers not pay for this when they buy their devices.

>but also created the APIs, the tools, the infrastructure, and attracted the (hundreds of millions of) users.

These were created for their consumers and not for developers. You think features are added to their devices to please developers? Why do developers have to pay for these things?

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

More than reasonable? Do a little experiment. Run a business and have 30% of your revenue taken from you.

Why use GraphQL, good and bad reasons
I'm currently married to a Chinese born wife who has lived in the US for the past 15 years, but spent most of that time in academia with other foreign born academics. She had developed a habit of saying "BE CAREFUL!" very loudly whenever I was driving and something unexpected happened in traffic. I was patient at first, hoping that she would come to understand that I am quite careful (I'm a bit of a stereotypical asian driver myself) but one day, I snapped at her when the car ahead of me abruptly braked to a stop, then backed towards me to parallel park in a spot they'd spotted last moment.

We did talk about it, but whenever we argue, it seems that she thinks I'm lying when I tell her that saying "Be careful!" in that context sounds like an admonishment.

I do think the Apple/Google cut has been natural. The phone and successful app stores aren't accidents, they're endpoints in a long chain of work to focus consumer attention in a way that sells software.

That said, these benefits have an expiration date. I don't think the app store cut has been a ripoff for its entire history, but if the temperature of the room has shifted toward hostility, it might be that they've spent the goodwill they earned with their innovation and now it's time for a more sustainable long term arrangement.

We can find middle ground between "Apple did nothing for me" and "Apple deserves 30% of software sales for eternity"
I remember the one in Sacramento, with the corner that slid in and out. I didn't know there were others at the time, nor did I realize how unusual an architectural experiment it really was.
I've had cards fail even in RO mode. Consumer cards are shit, get "industrial" cards.
Just give us the ability to manually whitelist external developers signing keys. That way you can choose to only install apple signed apps (the current situation which would become the default of the new system) or to accept apple signed apps + selected devs applications (which is currently impossible). It already works on OSX.
> The problem is that the twelve-tone system was designed for a very specific "use case"

This isn't really correct though. Twelve is used because it has certain properties of divisibility that make life easier for the musician.

When the wavelengths of two notes form simple mathematical ratios, they have a stability that sounds nice, and this makes it easier to construct intervals and chords.

Wouldn't choosing a non-twelve division be more of a limit?

<disclaimer, I'm merely an amateur musician>
No, that's not true. A company may have been profitable for many years, but there is still risk of it becoming nonprofitable anytime in the future.
"Just try running a business when you loose 30% strait off the top line."

People here seem to have forgotten what it was like to sell something back before Apple's App Store. 30% was considered insane in just how small it was.
Jobs was IMO a High-Functioning Sociopath - http://www.md-health.com/Sociopath-Traits.html

He turned his charm on when he need to accomplish something, but there is no real empathy for anyone who was not useful to him in some way. The sad reality of Lisa's situation was that he didn't need her. So he treated her very badly, and then as is typical with sociopaths, turn around and blame her for his behavior. I truly sympathize with her.

It seems the word 'inauthentic' is being used as an alternative to 'dissenting'.

I can't decide if what she said is 'virtue signaling'[1] or 'humble bragging' [2]

It's obviously a dig at the professions that she has either chosen or can't escape from and it kind of smacks of 'anyone doing this is really lame and has no value but at least I recognize that and therefore I am a good person'.

Also reminds me a bit of when people apologize about being an attorney.

I would say this is a rather disingenuous take on Locks of Love. More than 50% of the hair received by Locks of Love is destroyed due to being unsuitable for use in wigs (bleached, moldy, too short, etc...). Then since they strictly target 21 and under ALL wig suitable gray hair that is donated are made into wigs and sold as a way to help offset the cost of operations.

So by the time you take out the "garbage hair" and the "gray hair" you are looking at probably only 30 or 40 percent tops that is even usable in wigs. Now consider that for young children, since they grow so fast, they use synthetic wigs. Synthetic hair isn't exactly free, so how do they pay for all of this if they don't raise funds somewhere?
I'm glad I made the switch from Arch to Void. Runit is clean and simple, it does the correct job in a deterministic fashion, if something fails proper errors appear on usual logs.

Hmm touche, this wouldn’t fix much
>If the only real solution is to turn off HT/SMT that, seen positively, should net us a lot faster VMs then...

you also doubled the cost of each VM (in terms of cpu), but you didn't double the performance of each VM, so it's a net negative.
Maybe intel deserves 30% of the cut since you used their CPU to find an app when you use a web browser. How about Firefox, do they deserve a cut? Maybe Comcast since you used their network. Apple & Google don't deserve 30%, their app store is a monopoly. The same way it's unfair for Microsoft to force you to only use Internet explorer is the same way it's unfair for us to be forced to use the app store. There should be other alternatives, and none of them should have a restriction such as, "You can't publish your apps with us if you do with another store".
> There were people already saying "it's not cool any more" even in the 90s.

If you will please refer to my post above, that has nothing to do with what I was talking about. Obviously any social scene is going to have people complaining it isn’t cool any more compared to years past. But I find that by talking to early participants, ones who don’t expressly complain like that, you can still make your own conclusion that the event now may not be as satisfying or worthwhile as in earlier years.
It is not reasonable for Apple to sue people for attempting to make changed to devices that they own.

(This indeed happened, when Apple attempted to stop people from jailbreaking their phones).

I believe in property rights and everyone's legal right to make whatever changes that they want to devices that they own.
I'm not so sure I'd bother, more of these attacks keep coming out, odds are you'll just buy a CPU that'll be vulnerable to the next one. Maybe AMD would save you from some.
An advertising executive probably makes more than enough to not be an advertising executive if they so choose. You don't find it ironic that an advertising executive goes to Burning Man?

Unless there's a different app store doing the same thing. (Such as Amazon app store for Android or F-Droid)
I absolutely love that they went with a 90s cyberpunk look.
I've also heard that fuel is not the main cost contributor to a rocket launch. In fact, it is a really insignificant portion of the cost. It is the vessel that contains giant amounts of fuel that is costly. Hence reusability from SpaceX makes sense and so does launching the rocket from high altitude to avoid building the first stage all together.

If a bank sues you, they will be making claims for various damages. One of those damages will probably be projected interest they would have made from re-lending the money that wasn't being paid.

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.

You understand it wrong, even though you’re somewhat correct as to what scheduler actually does. In a single physical core, both logical processors are equivalent, and neither one has higher internal priority over the other. The hyper threading aware scheduler will take extra care in scheduling in this scenario, but not in a sense you describe — if you have 2 physical cores, and thus 4 logical processors, and 2 CPU intensive tasks, the scheduler might attempt to schedule them on different physical cores, instead of stuffing them on the two logical processors of a single physical core. It’s not because one logical core is better than the other, but rather it’s because the two tasks would simply compete with each other in a way they wouldn’t if they were on physically separate cores.
