I encountered Forensic Architecture last year, but didn't look into any of their other work until now, so thanks a lot for posting this! I got to witness a presentation about their analysis of a murder carried out by the neonazi terror group National Socialist Underground:

I find it's the over 105 IQ set that's the problem. Especially when they find out IQ has nothing to do with success.
This is infuriating. Now if the SEC can go after the bankers that destroyed the world economy that would be great... Seriously this doesn't make any sense. The SEC was definitely conspiring to take power away from Elon..this was their only goal

Good luck with that. Security that no one uses isn't security at all. Placing those demands on everyone else in your life is going to result in fewer emails, not more secure emails.
I always thought of Atlassian projects as inheriting all the problems of Java, exposed in UX form.
Well, that escalated (and got resolved) quickly.
> JIRA is great, but it’s not that complex

You and I must use a very different JIRA.
I've submitted many benchmarks over the years for new jira and confluence UI "upgrades". I've received responses to the tune of, "our developers don't see that behavior issue on Windows" even though the test systems I used were Linux based and clearly stated as such. Speaking frankly, the new jira ui is fucking shit and makes my job slower due to the fact that pertinent information is obscured and only clearly displayed when I click "use old interface". This means that I must first wait for the whole page to render, click a link, and wait for the entire page to redirect to the old UI and render again. Multiply this for every single ticket I have to open and you can see the minutes tick off the clock.
As opposed to, say, aluminum, which consumes so much electricity to produce that it amounts to ~3% of the world electrical generating capacity and producers have resorted to building their own power plants at the site of the smelting operation.

There is also the question of how much longer lithium mining will have to continue at this pace, since in a few years there will obviously be a dense source of lithium for new batteries in the form of all the old batteries that can be recycled.
It's exactly this. It's easy to say that genetic differences account for differences in IQ among human beings.

The flaw is when you start to extrapolate that to things like racial issues. Saying that for example black people are less intelligent due to their genetics would ignore a lot of environmental circumstances that can lead to people not achieving their full potential. There's also the conclusion that if someone is born from a poor and dumb family that therefore their genetics must be worse and so forth.

Framing the argument as 'nature not nuture' would still ignore that if you had two people with identical genes born into a rich family vs a poor family that their theoretical 'genetic potential' is going to be highly limited by their environment. The genetic argument quickly becomes a tool with which to justify hurting others.
I was curious whether or not the CRFA could be overridden by contract terms

The whole point of it is to override and render invalid/unenforceable terms which try to forbid posting honest reviews of companies.

If so, we could see 128, 256, 1024 thread systems for the high performance desktop market.

It's fairly clear from the context of the comment he was asking about where the impression came from in this thread. I have no doubt he was interesting because he believes it is somewhat unjustified and self perpetuating, but if this thread is any indication, there may be some truth to that.

So, to restate the question clearly and unambiguously, what prior to kibwen's question lends someone to think this is a matter of Rust evangelists taking issue, and not the somewhat common HN interaction of someone calling out someone else for, in their eyes, misinterpreting or ignoring and aspect something and then denigrating it for that lack?
I had no idea that DDG was Perl based. This gives me a whole new level of respect for DDG.

Why Humans Are Bad at Spotting Lies
And of course for things that can be iterated over multiple times, it's likely possible that you can (re)generate the iterator. E.g. this compiles fine:

fn main() {
let squares : Vec<u32> = (0..10).map(|x| x * x).collect();
println!("{:?}", squares.iter().min()); // Some(0)
println!("{:?}", squares.iter().max()); // Some(81)
}

Edit: Or a smaller change to the original, you can add a single .clone():

fn main() {
let squares = (0..10).map(|x| x * x);
println!("{:?}", squares.clone().min());
println!("{:?}", squares.max());
}

This clones the std::iter::Map<std::ops::Range<i32>>. Unlike the vec version, this will re-evaluate the |x|x*x sequence when .max() is called.

There's no technical reason Map<Range<i32>> couldn't be made to implement the Copy trait, which would make the extra .clone() here unnecessary - but Rust's standard library has chosen to force you to make an explicit choice instead.

> It’s mostly a privacy issue.

There is a simple way to fix that. You wouldn't want to force everyone to upload anyway (some are on metered connections etc.), so what you would do is offer a nominal discount for uploading, but if you choose it then you don't just host what you watch, you host whatever needs more hosting capacity. Then random third parties can't tell what you watch because what you host is random.

This reduces the efficiency somewhat, but it's easy to minimize that: Don't give someone a hundred movies to host, give them one movie and have them host it a hundred times (over the course of a year).
I could see how if you were doing performance-sensitive stuff, JS might be a weird choice, but what's wrong with MySQL?
We are beginning to look like fake democracies. The press and commentators seem to have no trouble getting 'charged up' about China or Russia but there is a shocking absence of scrutiny and outrage about actions at home.

What makes this absurd is its being done in a 'democracy' making that word increasingly meaningless as a marker. Activities that define a surveillance state cannot coalesce into 'western democracy' without rendering it meaningless.

Its unlikely without mainstream protest the surveillance state project will simply fold on its own. And the dangerous dynamic of denial and dissonance that systematically focuses attention and outrage on 'the other' is letting citizens and media affect commitment to these values while letting their own governments off the hook.

Because I'm not- I think the Model 3 is an ugly designed car and Tesla gets far too much credit for the cars they build. If Ford or Kia made a car of Tesla Quality there would be a revolt. But you got to respect when respect is due.

In Canada, whole wheat flour doesn't contain these additives. I spoke to the CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency) and they told me their rules and regulations. Whole wheat doesn't have additives, anything else does. America may be a different story, but I don't live there.
Normally I'm very against personal data leaks like this, but in this case it looks to be mutually beneficial. Companies recruit the people at the coffee shop (who are all university students/professors), and the people giving away personal information (which you do anyway on your CV) get free coffee and maybe even a career.

Of course, that's based on this article. In reality it might be much worse.

I’d say most HN comments were right on.

When it first happened many on HN said “it’s not a big deal”, “the SEC won’t care”, “they can’t prove anything” and “they won’t ask him to step down as chairman”.

And yet here we are.
This is absurd. You are just repeating the same anti-Musk nonsense that has zero bearing in reality. Do you even know the origin story of SpaceX and how Musk designed and priced the Falcon rockets himself?
I don't like that attitude. There are many non-linear problems which can easily be solved accurately numerically or exactly.

So few people even try to solve problems exactly now that it seems like magic when someone does it. I can recall once instance where a colleague seemed awestruck that I solved Bernoulli's differential equation exactly when I noticed that a problem we were working on could be expressed that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_differential_equatio...

If you do take this approach, I'd advise against explaining how you solved the problem. My colleague was not impressed that I looked up how to solve the problem, and thought what I did was "only" a trick. But there are many tricks for solving differential equations. Knowing which trick to pull out is part of my job as far as I'm concerned.

On that note, I'd recommend this website and the related books for finding exact solutions or useful changes of variables: http://eqworld.ipmnet.ru/

A corollary of this is for-pay news cares more for its readers than free news. You ought to pay for your information, if you want to incentivize getting good information.
Yeah he will, and he'll get paid and it will be junk money to someone like Musk. That's not the DOJ case anyway.
Wow, I last used Jira a long time back when it was pretty much new and loved it and I loved the values Atlassian had. It was far better than anything I'd come across before,

This DanBC has poor comprehension, I specified that IN CANADA, whole wheat flour is free of enrichments. By law. Any grain product that isn't whole grain, is enriched. By law.

>> The HN title is misleading: the terms do not forbid benchmarking, just public dissemination of the benchmarks.

If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

The title is not misleading. Performing 69,000 benchmarks but being unable to publish them is de facto banning benchmarks, period. Hiding behind the idea that benchmarking is hard therefore it should be banned because it might be fake news is ludicrous.

It is also not standard software EULA licensing, unless you think Oracle's practices are somehow industry standard and good for everyone.
If the data in the CDN is being downloaded by multiple users in each location then there would be that many local peers with it in a distributed network. If the peers give preference to e.g. lowest ping then they're equally efficient. If the data is unpopular then the CDN is less efficient because it transfers a copy to each node even if nobody ever wants it.

Spotify on desktop (at least on Windows) lets you select some folders on your HD and adds them to your "collection". You can then play them thru Spotify.
If they have ID3 tags, they get correctly tagged and you can click the artist name to go to their page.

I believe I may have mentioned I could be wrong.

I'm not expert, but I can imagine how it might be possible to determine BitTorrent traffic from Xbox 360, voice call, or simultaneous downloads from 20 different websites, using flow analysis and some other data points, to a fairly high degree of certainty, in some cases.

In support of my amateur assessment I present the following Wikipedia entry on the subject:

"Some ISPs are now using more sophisticated measures (e.g. pattern/timing analysis or categorizing ports based on side-channel data) to detect BitTorrent traffic. This means that even encrypted BitTorrent traffic can be throttled. However, with ISPs that continue to use simpler, less costly methods to identify and throttle BitTorrent, the current solution remains effective.[citation needed]

Analysis of the BitTorrent protocol encryption (a.k.a. MSE) has shown that statistical measurements of packet sizes and packet directions of the first 100 packets in a TCP session can be used to identify the obfuscated protocol with over 96% accuracy.[22]

The Sandvine application uses a different approach to disrupt BitTorrent traffic ..."

I guess like everything, it's an arms race; and a sufficiently determined network monitor probably has the average BitTorrent user blocked. Might not be worth the effort though.

Can you think ofa simple, unambiguous, descriptive title?

How about — Why Rust BTreeMaps beat C AVL Trees ?

I don't know if that would be an adequate title, but it doesn't claim that different data structure is the only reason and it doesn't generalize to a claim about C and Rust.
When bandwidth was a big concern bittorrent trackers prioritized peers geographically and ISPs were using retrackers to force peers within the same ISP to save bandwidth. It was very efficient, each torrent was downloaded pretty much just once for an entire ISP from the fastest sources. Good times.

But none of this is necessary, fast clients simply send more data and dominate download bandwidth. Doesn't matter why they are fast, whether they are simply very close or just on a path with more capacity. Everything is naturally efficient.
Yes that's indeed what I meant.
This is a wonderful, but unfortunately very naive, approach to email.

That you firmly believe this approach just means you haven't worked in a govt. dept. or any kind of position where your response represents the response of the organization (or a sub-set thereof). In such circumstances, emails that are open-ended (responses risk being misunderstood), ambiguously phrased (responses will be twisted to server the author's needs) or controversial (any response paints the organization in a negative light) are often best ignored. If your question is ambiguous, a busy boss or colleague does not owe you an answer or vice versa.

Sometimes people respond out of anger or frustration. You could respond in kind, and escalate the battle, or simply wait and let the individual calm down. Not responding is a very useful technique when conflicts arise between team members or in the management chain.

I would rather ignore an angry abusive email from an upset colleague who is having a rough time in life, than respond in kind and escalate it into an HR battle. Of course if the behaviour continues, there would be no choice, but most people are rather contrite and apologetic after a brief outburst and it's much better for everyone to just pretend that it never happened. People make mistakes after all.
That story tries to sell a darker picture than it really is. 40% of his stock is leveraged, which still only amounts to about $4B (less than that) of his $20B net worth.

Larry Ellison has a $11B line of credit leveraged against 30% of his Oracle shares. This is a non-story.
It's astounding to me that BitTorrent isn't used more often for media distribution.

A perfect use for it would be to distribute VNR’s (Video News Releases) and other audio and video from public relations firms and large companies.

The big obstacle is introducing any new protocol into a large bureaucracy.

It took a company I work with eight weeks to get their artist an SFTP program for his computer so he could send material to the printing companies; and another month to convince IT to open the ports in the local network.

By then he’d just sent a bunch of DVD’s by messenger.
Sure, but do you think the number of taxi and truck drivers is larger than the number of drug users?

Also, do you think the profits are so big that gangs would fight for territory to be able to sell illegal gasoline?

> I can make a very low latency connection but only delivers at most 1 packet every 10 seconds. It responds in 5 milliseconds say, but it won't let you have another packet for 10 seconds.

That's fine. So you connect to that peer and get one packet every ten seconds. You also connect to the other 1000 peers with the lowest latency, some of which are likely to be faster and in any event will be fast in aggregate, and none of which require traversing intercontinental fiber.
