Exactly. I'm always surprised when people think that it's easy to find time for documentation and that you only skipped that step because you are lazy and/or unprofessional.
>there is good reason to suspect that the FBI would hear of the article and try to censor such an article for national security reasons

The rest of your post aside, the FBI cannot do that. It wouldn't matter if it was secret. It's not even a close call, it's been explicitly and repeatedly slammed down by courts even in extreme cases like classified information being illegitimately leaked, for example with the Pentagon Papers (SCOTUS ruling [1] against prior restraint). It just came up again a few months ago when a federal judge tried to use prior restraint and depublishing against the LA Times over their publication of information about a confidential informant and bargain that was accidentally published in full on PACER. A rung bell cannot be unrung.

Now, if the FBI could find a leaker who had signed an agreement with the Federal government they could go after them in person. If a newspaper broke the law to obtain a story then that separate violation could independently be prosecutable (in public). But none of that means the publicly released information can then be taken back. And even if some random blogger might be intimidated illegally and not find the resources to fight back, that wouldn't be an issue for a major publication.

I don't take issue with your skepticism in general but it's not helpful to ascribe special powers to government that it doesn't actually have either.

The more I understand software the less I trust it (given the current state of engineering practices). Meanwhile all my friends/family are scrambling to install all the latest new "smart home" gadgets and I just look like a paranoid kook trying to talk them out of it.
Same paragraph, they state:

> We’ve found no evidence to support claims of malicious chips or hardware modifications.

That's about as good a denial as you'll get from somebody with a lawyer.
The former is for small
acreage outdoor farms(biggest cost is labour when available) vs the latter which is for indoor farms with artificial light(can be automated. Light,energy are their biggest cost).
A phone, while powerful, is still nowhere near a modern PC in terms of performance. As you push for more and more performance, you’ll pay increasingly more, both in power and money, for increasingly smaller gains.
My biggest gripe is the total inability to copy and paste or download a direct video URL for sharing.

Some intelligence forms are really hard to test and judge quality wise.

Recombination seems a useless quality, untill it creates a breakthrough- but for this it need either a internal or external intelligence to judge the output of the random generated recombinations.

Best of all, the process is not documenting itself as thought- so you can not produce a step by step judgement. Its just noise and the recognition as a pattern.

Doesn't really mean the Sears CEO is bad at his job. It is really incentive misalignment - the best financial outcome for him personally isn't the same as that for Sears.
> Police in many municipalities...

That's another thing. In Australia the police are state-based organisations. Which makes sense because criminal law is also a state responsibility (i.e. not federal). The idea of police reporting to the local municipal council is really weird.
It's all because schools generally focus on the common denominator and more talented children are lost to boredom and lack of challenges. This doesn't apply everywhere, but it certainly applied to my pre-university education.
People you know of, not people you know. If you knew him, you would know he doesn't actually farm, his money comes from selling overpriced lettuce to expensive restaurants. And that the entire market in Montreal is saturated just from his operation. A single person can make a living that way in each market of a few million people. That does not provide a path for 99.99% of the people who would like to get into farming. We can have about 10 people doing that in all of Canada. There's a lot more than 10 people who would like to be farmers, and most of them would like to actually be farmers not lettuce salesmen.
It's very odd that this was released the same day as claims against Russia.

WiFi 6, or 802.11ax, has been in development for sometime and faces lots of difficulties and controversies.

First it was discovered all the major companies were working behind close door forming a group called Densi-Fi, trying to super speed the spec, or more like neglecting all the issues around it and push forward the time to market. This has been discover by some other IEEE members, and the problem has since been "resolved". The Density-Fi section in 802.11ax has since be deleted from Wiki, despite many attempts to bring it back. The 802.11ax committees continue to push forward and correct me if I am wrong, are there any other IEEE spec that failed to pass in all of its Draft? Draft 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 for 802.11ax all failed to pass the vote. With Draft 4.0 being pushed and forcibly passed, while all the comments ( ~2300 of it ) being the same and unresolved as Draft 3.0. Much like 802.11ac there will be Wave 1 and Wave 2. Wave 1 does not include Uplink MU-MIMO, 80+80Mhz Channels and some other things I don't remember on top of my head.

I am not sure what to make of this. Because it reads to me as a giant pile of mess and I don't want to be the guinea pig for this new spec.
As someone who does research in this area, broadly defined, I think you're on to something, but I also think there are some misleading things about this article (which I nevertheless think is interesting) and caveats to what you're saying.

Lots of thoughts:

1. Intelligence is a broad construct. It is by definition, and it is not the only cognitive construct. It does have a lot of utility for certain purposes though, such as in identifying pervasive neurological disease.

As others are noting, this is relevant to the article in that we tend to focus on extremes when making these kinds of comparisons, when the full spectrum is really what's important sometimes. We tend to fixate on whether someone went to some prestigious university or less prestigious university, or whether our incomes are in the upper middle class or upper class, but in the sense of outcomes, compared to all outcomes, these can be relatively minor distinctions and hard to predict.

2. There are other variables that are relevant, like conscientiousness, ruthlessness, and so forth. This is certainly true.

3. There are still other variables that have nothing to do with the individuals involved though. The elephant in the room are societal and other random factors that prevent any individual attribute from mattering as much as they could. The article starts out by dismissing prediction among females out of hand because of societal limitations, which is reasonable. But there are lots of other variables involved, random and nonrandom societal and environmental forces at play. The hidden story is that there are limits to predicting outcomes at all from the individual at hand, meaning that other variables in the environment are working.

4. Measurement of intelligence is fuzzy and imperfect as you're alluding to. It's stochastically imprecise, in the sense that giving the same test twice, or two different tests, will give you somewhat different answers. But it's also imperfect in that the thing it's measuring isn't really what we probably want to measure in an ideal case. Even if the tests were giving the same answer all the time, it wouldn't really be intelligence in the way we want to talk about intelligence.

5. I'm not sure that we really want cognitive functioning measures to be perfectly stable, because I don't think cognitive functioning is actually perfectly stable. It probably varies across the day, for example.

6. Physical measurements are certainly more precise. But the objects systemically are much less complex. It's easier to talk about measuring the mass of a cubic meter of oxygen than it is to talk about measuring climatological variables; something analogous is in play with things like intelligence.

Also, even physical measurements at a certain level become fuzzy and highly interdependent. Measuring mass "precisely" depends on your scale and other variables.
Maybe we could also say that our civilization is energetically compute equivalent to human level intelligence when we are using 20% of our energy on computers? Alternatively, if the human brain is orders-of-magnitude more efficient than a computer (as argued in the article), then a “civilizational human-level intelligence” is, likewise, orders-of-magnitude ‘away’?

Most of the out-of-band management systems (aka IPMI/DRAC/LOM) that server vendors use are built by the same 2-3 companies and rebranded.

These companies churn out some truly horrible software with little consideration for security.

It's often difficult to automate firmware updates, so they tend to stay vulnerable.

It's a similar situation to webcams: https://youtu.be/B8DjTcANBx0
Agree the people and process side is very difficult to do well. Familiar with all those and more -- we have extremely good, dedicated employees who care deeply about doing those things right.

We have some fun stories on this topic, like when we were using our PCI PIN approved secure room in our development office for the first time. We papered over the cage to prevent a security camera from being able to see employees entering PINs on the HSM. An eager employee papered over this cage a little too well cutting off the natural flow of air. And then there was a bug in our offline CA code and we spent 30 minutes in that air deprived cage while debugging occured :) finally the bug was fixed, we issued the cert on our first production device, and stepped out to get a breath of fresh air. Obviously this isn't our daily driver secure CA room :)

Very much this - average genes, hard work, and sacrifice can generally guarantee upper middle class (barring accidents). Basically, all you need to get there is being a good cog in the machine. That is to say - you come in groomed, you do your job, you study or take night classes, you don't spend your money on having a life, you don't make mistakes which come with fun. Eventually, you will get to your $100,000/year and your 1 mil networth.

The sad part is that I have met some really low IQ people who are unable to even prep for a college exam, or the SAT, ACT, MCAT, whatever. So, their innate intelligence or upbringing denies them even the shot at an average comfortable life.
I agree with your point, but I run a cluster of 6 ODroid systems (running an Emby server (which only runs on one of the nodes)) , and even then it peaks at around 50 watts last time I measured (the hard drive array is separate and peaks at around 30).

I haven't done a ton of side-by-side comparisons, but it does feel like ARM runs more efficiently per watt.

No? You seem to be talking about title bar behavior. There is a normal dropdown menu right in the top center of the standard 'Save' and 'Open' dialogs.
I wonder if it's a single container, running your OS on top of theirs then. I don't see how their API would work sans both a VM and containers. Unless maybe they are supplying a fixed set of tweaked distributions.
they are very not precise. Most give a 80% confidence interval of +- 8 Points (or 1/2 STD). Also the different tests measure slightly different types of intelligence/put emphasis on other things. There's only ~0.8 correlation between modern IQ tests.
Have you considered starting a payments bank in another country where you can prove your idea with less capital? Then you can use the capital from that to get started in India or if there's not enough, you can use the experience to inspire investments to get the capital.

Also, I hope you're ready for an immense amount of red tape.
That's not correct.

HSMs are required so that the company does not need to have PIN codes exposed anywhere. Not having PINs or full credit card data makes your life easier as there is nothing to steal from you in the first place.

If your company stored PIN codes it means you were in breach of the contract and it had to lie to the auditors to pass the certification.
ACLU = American Civil Liberties Union.

I'm not disagreeing, necessarily. But it's in the name.
I've used OpenStack a good bit, but not Kubernetes directly, and I have never set it up. Is there an up-to-date, in-depth tutorial around?
That correlation does not mean that people's IQ caused their success or lack thereof. I would bet both are caused by economic circumstances, among other things, especially access to resources like good education.
The article doesn't say which sweeteners did they study and this is a very bad style. Fortunately it links to an article on EurekAlert which in its turn links to the actual scientific paper (doi.org/10.3390/molecules23102454). It says aspartame, sucralose, saccharine, neotame, advantame and acesulfame potassium-k (ace-k) (BTW at least saccharine and ace-k are already known to be carcinogenic AFAIK) were tested against Escherichia Coli (I would rather be interested in testing them against Lactobacillaceae).

Lactulose is a great prebiotic (not widely known infortunately) very good for gut bacteria (AFAIK), has geroprotective properties, is a mild osmotic laxative, has zero calories, doesn't affect blood sugar/insulin and tastes great. I use it instead of maple syrup. As far as I also know erythritol (looks, feels and cooks almost exactly like sugar) and palatinose (same, but has calories yet doesn't kick insulin and doesn't feed mouth bacteria so is safe for teeth) are good for gut bacteria too. We could also mention inulin (which is a well-known prebiotic very beneficial for gut microbiome) but it's sweetness is weaker.
Just as a sidenote: X-raying PCBs and then diffing them against clean PCBs is a worthwhile thing to do if you're concerned about hardware backdoors, or 'interdiction' of hardware in a supply chain. I do this sometimes when ordering super-critical equipment like Thinkpads from the U.S as you never know what lurks on the motherboard (keyloggers, etc).

I have a clean Thinkpad that I use to compare against potential backdoored devices. So far I haven't spotted any differences in the PCBs. I guess the intelligence agencies have not marked me as important enough to target. That being said, I imagine there are people working in the cryptocurrency space who have a lot to hide (if you own their boxes, you could be looking at thefts worth millions of dollars, or whatever the equivalent is in the cryptocurrency they are developing).

I'll assume you are indicating that the visitor logs are often empty. Given that, I do not see how no visitors correlates to the families doing it out of vengeance or spite. In general, I feel the poster extremely amplified the reasons why people put family members in nursing homes. Based on this wording, specifically the paragraph about "letting them rot all drugged up... in a urine soaked room". This indicates a rather extreme, and I'd wager rare stance to take. I'm wondering if this is from their own anecdotal evidence.

I do know for sure nursing homes are definitely used to "remove a burden." Dealing with elders at that stage of life can very taxing, and many people would rather simply avoid it. They may even, as the poster hinted at, dislike their family member. However, even then I don't think they share as strong emotions as the poster.
Well, if you want to be very precise about it, and start excluding dictionary definitions ([1] "success = the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.") - then I'd argue it's more important to define "perseverance". Do we define "perseverance" as "keep doing something for a (somewhat longer) while"? If yes, it's absolutely required. Do we define it to require "in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement."? Then, it's far less obvious. Sure, there are always some obstacles... but in my experience, perseverance is more often caused by success, than the other way around. It builds up - you have some success, do the thing some more, have more success, do it even more, and so on until you're really, really good at it - and what looks from outside as excruciating effort & grit is in fact a work of love and passion, sometimes even a way to relax. You don't grit your teeth & keep doing a PhD that you hate until you discover GANs; you simply do the thing that you love until you reach a level of expertise where discovering GANs is inevitable. I think those who do their PhDs with pure grit, despite disliking the domain, will be far less likely to produce world-changing innovations.

The article goes on to explain just how wasteful our computers are, compared to the computations that go on in cells (which is a staggeringly large amount of computation, given their speed and abundance).

> But the thermodynamic efficiency of this computation—the amount of energy required by a ribosome per elementary operation—is many orders of magnitude superior to the thermodynamic efficiency of our current artificial computers.

So I think the headline is justifiable in light of this comparison.

I can totally believe that there are tons of actual conspiracies regarding the tumultuous relationships between China and the USA but in what configuration does this particular one make sense? As far as I can tell the only people who come out badly out of this are the Chinese intelligence agencies and the complicit Chinese manufacturers. Why would the Apple and Amazon go out of their way to protect them? I can imagine that the US government could coerce them into doing that but to what end?

If these companies are caught red handed lying on behalf of the Chinese or US governments it would set an absolutely terrible precedent, I don't see why they would risk it when they have so little to gain.

You are prevented from merging commits at the top of the stack until the commits below are accepted.

The advantage is that each commit can be reviewed separately. You cannot achieve this with pulled requests as far as I know. I often see people creating a pull request and writing "this depends on PR #1233", the second PR is unreviewable because it contains changes from. The first PR. So the first PR has to merged first... It's a mess. But maybe I am just missing a big part of the PR workflow that solves this problem.

I have a 335i with a 6HP21, and the converter lockup behavior was the first thing I noticed when I got the car. It usually locks up in first gear, which I’m sure helps with fuel economy a lot.

That said, the overall shift quality could be a little better, IMO. I’m no transmission expert, but I think it basically shifts “clutch-to-clutch” instead of using sprags like a traditional automatic, so it’s really sensitive to timings. If the second clutch engages too late, it’s in neutral for a bit. If it engages to early, it’s in two gears at the same time.

For example, if you’re accelerating lightly and it’s about to shift, then you suddenly have to hit the accelerator harder, sometimes it feels like it has already committed to shifting under the lighter load and it almost feels like it’s in neutral for a split second before banging into the next gear.

Not sure how much of this is related to the BMW shift maps or the transmission itself.

All that said, the transmission has proven to be very reliable. People in the 335i community are putting well over 500 ft-lbs of torque through them and they seem to be holding up, and my car has 211,000 miles and it shifts the same as it did when I got it with 40,000 miles.

Also, people with newer 5.0 Mustangs don’t seem to have many complaints, and it’s basically the same transmission.
