Your original post states:

Apparently one of the big factors in Supermicro success is that it has over 900 different motherboard designs, and hundreds of hardware specialists which can customize them further to client wishes.

How is that a sequitur arguing about "a few open-hardware motherboard designs" and the projections of them being "commercially succesful"?
Agreeing with mortenjorck. I'd love to read longer stories.
> That left the decision about where to build commercial systems resting largely on where capacity was greatest and cheapest ... “You can have less supply than you want and guarantee it’s secure, or you can have the supply you need, but there will be risk. Every organization has accepted the second proposition.”

Once the critical mass of electronics manufacturing moved outside the US and manufacturers outsourced the bulk of work, there was no longer any alternative.

Economists say this is ok or even really good for global welfare.

But do any economic models accurately account for this type of economic damage, this type of cost to government, consumers, companies like Supermicro, Apple, Amazon, etc?
I heard on NPR this morning there were 17 sources for the article. That seems like a lot, if this is wrong.

It is well earablished that iq tests don’t work that well until adulthood. E.g. identical twins raised seperately have very different iq test scores during childhood but the scores converge in early adulthood.
I think natural sciences will be self correcting in this respect. If something new and important has been discovered, people will want to use it / build on it and thus it will have to be replicated.
To learn, or to utilize on an ongoing basis? I'm curious what you found difficult, because since remapping my mind to 12-factor years ago, I still haven't found anything as simple as just using Heroku.
> Funny how HN is full of people with >120 IQ claiming that IQ doesn't matter. If that's really true, than why is pretty much everyone here in the top 10-15% of the population

Everyone here probably isn't.

People who have a near-average (on either side) IQ are less likely to have it tested, and those with an average or below IQ less likely than those above the average to talk about their score.

Consequently, people who talk about their IQ score tend to have a higher than average score.

I recommend the book “Paradoxes in Probability Theory”, by William Eckhardt. It refutes a number of these thought experiments that play weird games with probabilities, including the Doomsday Argument and the Simulation Hypothesis.

I find its refutations convincing, although I could be wrong — there are many subtleties in play here.

Regardless, if you find the Simulation Hypothesis or Doomsday Argument convincing, you ought to consider these refutations. Intuitively, it should be surprising that we can predict the apocalypse, or deduce the nature of an infinite regress of simulated universes, just by sitting in a chair and doing some basic arithmetic.
Once you do a thorough sweep and decide one device is clean all it takes is a small PCB revision and you have to start over. It becomes a very expensive exercise after a point (time and money) that is reserved for the most critical of situations.

The problem is a good hack doesn't need the most critical of situations to succeed. It can creep in through the most innocent cracks and climb its way up the chain.

And some hardware hacks are beyond what a regular Xray PCB check would outline, like a modified piece of silicon in a chip. Xrays are great for more obvious changes, not necessarily for something that was inserted at the very start of the supply chain.
At the very most, I think people expect clones to look like identical twins (correcting for age difference), and perhaps share that same level of average personality similarity. That's still an overestimate, since identical twins get very similar epigenetic and usually environmental pressures. But it's a pretty reasonable thought, and very different from "cloning is what they showed in Star Wars".
I've heard of Dokku as a "run your own Heroku" solution. Is there a good guide for this combo?
One doesn't even need Snowden to know this. Given even a little reading of the IC's (intelligence community), and more specifically CIA's, history. What else do you think they do all day, if not for spying on other countries?

As mercutio2 mentioned in a reply to your same parent, the controversy w/r/t Snowden is domestic spying.
Yeah, I mean that's what I would say too if some government intelligence agency told me I cannot say a word about this and have to deny it vehemently! haha :)
>Farmers have generally had pretty terrible (imbalanced) diets

So they invented and clinically tested Intermittent Fasting? Trendsetters! ;-D

I don't disagree with you, but here's my point - they weren't eating Cheesy Poofs and Mac and Cheese, they were eating... greens, legumes, root vegetables, etc. Whatever was local and seasonal or that they could preserve using salting or canning. In this regard, even if there was scarcity, what they were eating was likely better for them than what much of our population calls food today.
At this point, scrap the mobile view if you're going to half-ass it.
How could the US keep running its enormous budget deficits if the dollar wasn't in this situation? It seems to me that either taxes would have to be raised substantially, or spending cut substantially, or US inflation would be much higher if other countries weren't soaking up so many of the excess dollars.
You can't lock China out of the market without diplomatic implications. Even assuming you managed to get a purely private boycott of China together without somehow violating anti-trust law, by the time it started making a serious dent in the market the Chinese government would have started making representations to the US State Department. Where it goes from there is anyone's guess.

Off-the-cuff, I'd probably say either a stable and supportive family environment and/or above-average family wealth, in which case one could just cut out the IQ middleman and say those are the best predictors.

There is a reason requirements to start a bank are so high. Banking is a really hard business and you margins are not that great. There is so much regulation that your licensing fee will look like small potatoes.

Instead you should ask if there is cheaper way to get to where you want to be. You could start by researching how the PayTM guys did it.
People said the same thing about personal detail metadata as well. While theft would be foregone foolishness tracking transactions could have value to them. Granted it would probably be easier to snoop on the fiscal institutions.

6 Time Management Techniques from a Guy who has no time
They need the units from somewhere, with a deadline determined by their own runway, and presumably only some of the Chinese ones were compromised. Sure, they could avoid paying, but then they have to spend months getting the production run going somewhere else .. which might also be compromised.
Sure, that's the direct cause of invasive species. And I agree that there are measures that can and should be taken to measure and slow the flux of new species into established ecosystems.

But biodiversity is a huge protective measure against invasive species gaining a foothold in the first place, and habitat destruction is by far the largest short term threat to biodiversity.

My point is that habitat loss is the biggest factor in making these plagues possible at this scale.

Diverse ecosystems are much more likely to be able to adapt relatively quickly to a new species than blighted habitats.

I think its a huge farce to be focusing on "pest control" without getting to the root of the problem, biodiversity. We must be replenishing and rejuvenating biodiversity if we want to have any hope of realistically absorbing invasive species. And biodiversity has to be the focus over conservation. Our ecologies are not history museums. They're dynamically evolving, living superorganisms, and we should care for them appropriately.
you would be extremely hard pressed to fit that amount of logic (and code) into that small of a package. and to operate intelligently, as you suggest, it needs a CPU clock, not available to it from where it would sit. And it would need to do signal analysis in real time, with no power and no clock.

it's not possible.

My thoughts exactly.

When reading the title I thought "They do?"

My laptop consumes the equivalent of approximately a single 60w incandescent lightbulb that used to be required just to write on a pad of paper in the dark.

It's capable of quite a bit more than that, however.

This is cool. Shame most of my study notes are equation-heavy.
Then perhaps a test that measures intelligence better than the IQ test which is known to not be the best would be better at evaluating the situation.
A couple nits:

At first glance, these op-eds (which are linked to) appear similar rather than identical.

Also, they confirmed "at least 4 out of 6".
I contend that they weren't unknown unknowns at all, they were ignored and mocked knowns due to self-delusion. How long have those who warned of the totalitarian communist dictatorship's real intentions been mocked and scorned and called all manner of manipulative and debate ending slurs and insults?

What is really the only unknown unknown is the level of the invariable outcome of this fools errand of both subjugating and submitting to not only China, but very much also islam, Russians in the spirit of the soviets, and even Mexicans/Latin America.

The biggest "unknown unknown" is the ultimate, albeit invariable outcome of this submission and self-destructive path the west is on. Not unknown in any way at all is that it will not end well. That is knowable, although many do not want to know that.
Did they even answer the question or drop a bunch of stats?

"Dylan Williams, 22, a full-time student pursuing a master’s degree in public health at George Washington University, earns about $475 a week before taxes from two minimum-wage jobs at a coffee shop and co-working space in the nation’s capital."

then

"Also, the higher the education level, the greater the likelihood of holding more than one job, including in professional and business services, finance, insurance or real-estate, Gimbel said."

So which is it? People that cant get a job in Industry or highly educated individuals that work extra?

I did not understand this article's purpose.
I think it is largely about the environment in which people live and kids are raised. Losing energy as we age has always been true. The lizard brain hasn't changed.

The environment has changed significantly.

The availability of food, especially cheap sugar and processed foods.

Tech to occupy our time and not letting kids play outside.

Kids that grow up eating McDonalds every meal and Soda with every meal. That is normal to them and very difficult to ever break from that if that's been your entire life and if the people around you are functioning that way.
Something along these lines makes much more sense: the other party got the insurance they want, your company got a non-trivial payment in the event that they walk away against the customer's wishes. Both parties have incentive to make things work. That's very different than 'if we ever stop offering this product, we'll just open source it'

Feynman is a notable exception to the trend. Using a single exceptional result as evidence for decrying a trend is foolish.

IQ tests obviously do not account for __every__ variable which we cumulatively call "intelligence", but IQ is heavily correlated with the ability to succeed at tasks society classifies as "smart people stuff". The difference in intelligence between two individuals is much less pronounced if both individuals are already two standard deviations above the norm. But if you were to compare two individuals, one who is one standard deviation below, and the other one above, you would observe a clear difference in 'intelligence' between the two. Even in this comparison, there will be outliers, but the outliers are not statistically significant.
This is buried in a comment but it's worth mentioning.

Naughty Dog used Lisp to write Crash Bandicoot. They had something they called GOAL--Game Oriented Assembly Lisp. From what I understand, this was a DSL they wrote so they could write assembly language using Lisp syntax, and call it from Lisp functions.

You are almost 3 standard deviations up, meaning you the distance between you and the average is the same as between average and someone with what used to be called "mild mental retardation".

If it was something like WAIS you did it is actually a pretty comprehensive test including many different areas of mental performance (working memory, abstract verbal reasoning, visual spatial comprehension, inductive reasoning, attention encoding, auditory processing, quantative reasoning, associative memory, processing speed among others.).

A high score on something like WAIS is a pretty good predictor of work performance.

Although that nearly went in the other direction. The people involved were nearly sent to jail for shipping arms to Iraq which they had been doing at the behest and with the complicity of the UK security services.

The power of government agencies to turn up to people's offices and tell them "you need to stop doing what you're doing, and it's illegal to mention this meeting" should not be underestimated.

Wait a minute... So your company has a Chinese equipment supplier, finds out that the supplier is tampering with your purchased equipment, and your solution is to add criteria to the incoming inspection?

No wonder China keeps screwing with you guys. You aren't supposed to eat that cost! Write a PO with tons of fine print that says "We will disassembly units at random for compliance inspection. Non compliant products will be returned at the suppliers expense." And then add a clause that says ">3 non-compliance events in under # months will result in the entire PO (10 or 20 units) being returned and all contracts cancelled."

I cannot believe you are getting screwed by a company you choose to do business with and yet you eat cost to ensure they aren't screwing you. Just get a new supplier! Do on-site inspections at their facility. This is nuts.
Yup. This would be the modern equivalent of Air America and other schemes by the CIA to raise money to operate by involving themselves in illegal activity like the drug trade.
Andrew Wakefield managed that. It did receive a lot of criticism.
Well, it means that provision for the second flash was already there, and PLA simply exploited that fact that Aspeed chips are virtually omnipresent in higher end servers.

It also means that the extend of intervention into board design was minimal, and that a trivial automatic xray would not have picked it up. And as implied in the article, later they buried the bug to beat the AOI, if it was done higher upstream.

So, they would've been screwed even if they were doing board testing outside of China.

That's a clever trick.

But the sole fact that the chip has "to phone home" makes detection trivial, and puts the usefulness of the method to nil - anybody sees the router blink when it shouldn't and your bug's cover is blown.
I don't see much daylight between neglecting (apathy towards) family and vengeance or spite.

Whatever the case, I'd welcome research into attitudes towards eldercare. Right now, I feel like we're flying blind. For instance, I wouldn't be surprised whatsoever if GenX'ers (like me) would rather die than be warehoused. But no one I know is thinking that far ahead, having these discussions with their kids. Nor are our parents discussing this with us, now that it's our turn to be the care givers.
