Reading more about the DF-224...

It was roughly 45 centimeters (1.48 ft) by 45 centimeters (1.48 ft) by 30 centimeters (0.98 ft), weighed 50 kilograms (110 lb)

It had about 96KB of usable plated-wire memory (32K 24-bit words).

That seems like a lot of weight. I wonder how much was radiation shielding?

A more paternalistic approach by the state.

It adds more protection by law for the population less likely to purchase such protection out of their pocket.

It’s probably less efficient but less ruthless for those who do not know any better and could easily become homeless shortly after losing a job.

Someone above mentioned this: https://www.sococo.com/ which is video conferencing that gives a map of where everyone "is" in a virtual office and makes getting on chats lower-touch. Seems to solve part of that puzzle.
Without taking sides, people tend to forget that Intel chips clock higher and consume less power. For instance, the 9900k is clocking at 4.7 GHz on all 8 cores without AVX and AVX-512 instructions. Single core goes up to 5 GHz (!!!). The Ryzen runs at 3.6 GHz with a single core turbo of 4.0 GHz.

That said, the next gen Ryzen is rumored to be 4.5 GHz chip on turbo. So, definitely the steam is picking up.

If you look at the cost difference, it is pretty dead on placed with ~$130 higher than Ryzen 8 core. People trash around AMD/Intel like its their home town sports team. I find that everywhere including on HN.

Let's wait for the benchmarks, specific load comparisons to see if the price difference makes sense. The 8700k is ridiculously fast and it beats the hell out of Ryzen's 1600X.
Awesome, thanks for the info! I'm pretty sold on it, but when I went to their site to order it looks like there aren't any available for another month or two. In that time, I think the Brava infrared oven should come out, so I'll probably see the reviews on that thing and then get one or the other.
Getting insight to all security bugs of all cloud providers could be interesting- it certainly would increase transparency. Companies have security bugs all the time that they fix when found internally without telling anyone.
You may have said this in jest and are getting down-voted for it but this isn't an impossible scenario. I think of this article in relation to what WebAssembly means.

Given the people involved, #2 is a weak assertion.
So, are you actually interested in seeing less hating on Google? Or just what?

I did consider replying to the buried the lede comment that "I guess I can stop occasionally wondering if I should get familiar with Google+." Then decided to tweet it instead because that's insubstantive, or could be interpreted as such.

I'm actually a fan of Google, but never got into Google+. I don't openly fangirl the company in part because it gets so much open hatred here.
They did this with Google Reader 5 years ago. I don't think you can trust the longevity of Google services beyond GMail and Google Search.
Adding more administration to reduce the number of management seems like a good trade, simply because management-days cost more than administrator-days. If 7 managers are each spending one day on a task that would be done twice as quickly by an administrator paid half as much, you're trading 7 manager-days for 1.75 manager-days completely disregarding the cost of manager context-switching.

And if you're that administrator, you probably don't need to justify your purpose, you should probably ask for a raise.

I'm not sure where else economies of scale are supposed to come from.
Indeed great work! Is Google's guava collections part of this research?

It makes no sense to me to conflate logical statements and (human) speaker-anchored assertions. When semanticists work on natural language meaning, this requires use of the formal languages. It makes no sense to me to hard-wire human-speakers into a system of abstract logic (which we need when we reason about human speakers).
No, I vouched for your comment so I could tell you. The comment has now disappeared because I have now unvouched.
So, pivot to Slack-alike. I'm sure it'll last.
Damm algorithm
Just this weekend, I setup a domain name, setup email, and setup apps and accounts to replace Google with open-source software and servers I control, generally (I use some 3rd party services that I feel I can trust, like Fastmail and Namecheap). I then turned off and deleted all of my data from Google that I could without deleting my Google account (I need to forward this long-standing email to my new email and I don't want to lose my Google Music ratings and playlists right now).

It wasn't hard, just about 5 hours of work and then a few hours to set everything up as I like it. I pay ~$5 per month for email/calendar/contacts through Fastmail, ~$10 per year for 2 domains (each), and ~$5 for an Android app to sync my CardDAV/CalDAV accounts with my Android phone. I have almost completely deleted/disabled Google apps on Android, although I'm not ready to run LineageOS quite yet. I even use an OSM-based maps app, which doesn't work as well as Google Maps, but it is sufficient; navigation sucks compared to Google Maps, but that's the price you pay for doing this sort of thing.

I'm not super-paranoid about government surveillance and I didn't care about Google tailoring ads to me like most folks here, but after all of the data breaches and such, I decided that controlling my own data is worthwhile just to make me feel better. Now, I am able to do most of the stuff I could do before, maybe 70-80% as good as with Google for some things (like maps), but I have peace of mind.
Honest Question: is there enough data to show how likely the battery will burst into flames in crashes? So far the few incidences that I'm aware of make it feels like "the battery don't always burn, but when it does, there's no way to survive out of that". How true is that?

I don't know, but Google doesn't either:

>Because the company kept a limited set of activity logs, it was unable to determine which users were affected and what types of data may potentially have been improperly collected, the two people briefed on the matter said. The bug existed since 2015, and it is unclear whether a larger number of users may have been affected over that time.

The point is not that you can't use Bitcoin everywhere dollars (or even credit cards) are accepted. The point is that it's useless as a day-to-day currency. As far as I can tell, the number of places that accept it is declining, so it will never catch up with anything.
Sounds like DevOps to me.
Intel isn't innovating outside of process. They've been on the same µarch for most of this decade. They've gotten rid of hyper-threading for most of their desktop parts with this "generation" and have taken the "moar cores" approach to progress.

Sure, Intel's clocks are slightly higher than before, and their parts use less electricity, but they've been standing still in virtually all other areas.
At the moment, wasm can only call functions that were passed as values of the import object which is passed to to one of the instantiation functions (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...), so which function gets called is up to the embedding JS code.
Timing for calls from WASM to JS went from 750ms to 450ms for 100 million calls, so from 7.5 nanoseconds per call to 4.5 nanoseconds per call.

A 3 GHz CPU would do 3 ticks per nanoseconds, doing such a bridging call in 23 or 15 CPU ticks is quite good IMHO (I just hope I didn't blunder the math, but function call overhead from WASM to JS isn't much of an issue, it was already fast after the previous round of optimizations).
What's the point, then? Google will (or should) spend just about as much effort keeping it live for enterprise users as it would for the rest of us.

I don't use it often, but occasionally find useful communities there, especially concerning technical subjects. Now all of that is going to disappear.

It's annoying that Google apparently prizes the opinion of enterprise customers enough to half-abort the plan to shut down Google+, while for some reason maintaining a stubborn insistence on removing its access for the rest of us. Yes, this will be another point to add on the list of reasons to never become invested in a new Google product.
and then there's even Carolina beach near Wilmington for beach fans, which is at least cheaper than some other beaches.

Wilmington is a fun place in many ways. I grew up nearby (Holden Beach) and went to UNC-W and worked in Wilmington for many years. The area has a lot going for it, but in the end, I left for the Triangle region back in 2000 just because there were more business/career opportunities in the Triangle.

I think the tech scene in Wilmington has improved over the last 7 or 8 years, but at least up through 2000 (when I left) it was kind of a backwater from a tech standpoint. Programming jobs were few and far between and there weren't all the user groups and tech events and things you get here in the Triangle.

Anyway, I'd encourage anybody considering Wilmington to really research the job scene and see what's going on in their industry there, before committing.

Quite right. I find it amusing to read dire concerns about how N million people are going to have to move N miles. Especially when the posts are written by people who, far more often than not, live thousands of miles (and sometimes entire continents) away from where they were born.

If a region becomes unproductive, the kids will move. The parents will stay. And populations will shift as they always have.
My boss's wife died about five or six years ago. Last year he had to fly across the country to a meeting on the anniversary of his wife's death. I found out about it when he seemed uncharacteristically agitated and cynical about the meeting. I asked him and he told me he had planned to visit her grave that day and now he couldn't. It may sound weird but I made a note in my diary for the future, and this year I made sure his schedule was completely free that day. He didn't turn up for work that day, and I felt gratified just to have done my little bit to help. My boss is really wonderful and it's nice to be able to give back in ways other than hard work and results.
I really admire what a family friend did after she had a baby. She isn't posting any photos of him on social media, and says it's because he can't consent to have his photos shared publicly. Lots of her friends keep pestering her saying "I want to see the baby!" and she says they're welcome to come over, and suddenly they don't want to see him that much. They just want something they can click like on.

Google+ had terrible marketing and release, but it had some decent ideas that I wish other networks had carried over.

The idea of "circles", where you had a circle for "acquaintances" "friends", "family" would be great on, say, Facebook, as it would allow me to filter down my feed to just the people I really care about but still have a connection to more distance acquaintances.

Currently on Facebook the news feed is automatically generated, and the only control you have over it is to subscribe/unsubscribe from particular friends. Given hundreds of acquaintances, this is a pain, and made me give up on Facebook altogether. I wish social networks would trust me to decide what I want to see rather than just let an AI attempt to understand it, which in the end just ended up spamming my feed with clickbait and baby pictures from people I barely know.
I trully believe it will happen in a couple of years, unless browser vendors change course regarding WebAssembly.

Minimum wage laws state that the employer needs to compensate the employee if their tips are not sufficient to meet minimum wage.

It's not my job as a consumer to ensure this happens. The only reason to tip in the first place is because servers' have a lower minimum wage. As a voter, I would support a politician who would get rid of this reduced minimum wage and make it so people weren't guilted into compensating people. It should always be an employer's job to calculate appropriate prices for products in order meet their payroll.

Again, no examples. Why?

I feel like your conviction that breitbart is as good as any other news source (or as bad, whatever way you look at it) is not grounded in reality if you call those minor mistskes.

Not only is the headline misleading but the contents as well, designed to stoke certain people and confirm their biases.

From reading that article, the contents instead of just the headline, you would get they are stopping accepting all the thousands and millions EU immigrants flooding into their borders because they do not contribute.

Not one bit of that is true.

Find me something on CNN as patently false and misleading as that, on their front page right now please. Thanks!

I mentioned relatively short time scales. I'm thinking multi decade time scales and not something like wars. If the predictions of sea level rise are correct then the problem won't be to just one region. It will be world wide and the resulting migrations/chaos will be catastrophic for nations and people. I was just giving an example of how the scale has changed now versus 5000 years ago.
Rings true. I once worked a contract at a place with proprietary hardware, that wanted their software extras to be purchased separately, and accessible through an "app store". This seemed to imply they thought somebody else would develop apps for their store, which was odd because if their proprietary hardware (which was quite expensive, justifiably so) sold 1000 units it would be considered successful. Basically nobody made apps for their app store except the people who worked for the same company that made the hardware, and I had a hard time understanding why they didn't use the (much simpler) model of "if you pay us $X more we'll throw in this bit of software". Instead, they had to develop all of the software for running and maintaining an app store, including the issues of making sure that apps uploaded to their store were not malware.

Then, I realized what was going on: Apple had introduced their app store a few years before, and it was a big deal. Steve Jobs was the CEO on the cover of every magazine. The CEO looked at Apple, and said, "we must have an app store", and that was all there was to it, even though Apple sold several orders of magnitude more units, making the concept of an app store way more suitable for them than for the company I was working for.

There are a crew of engineers maintaining the satellite's position and operation while another team of scientists operate the telescope, review proposals, and schedule science time. Time also has to be scheduled for the TDRSS ground stations for data downloads. NASA is not the majority user of that system so there isn't a lot of time available. The data then needs to be adjusted and translated into something that can be given to scientists. There is an entire institute, the STScI, that manages missions for Hubble and will someday do the same for JWST and WFIRST. I'm sure there are at least a few dozen engineers and scientists that keep Hubble operational and busy.

> I think when the police's top priority is to get home to their families rather then protect and serve... That speaks volumes.

No, that's not a problem, that's everyone's priority. But if shooting innocent citizens got policemen into jail, which is far from home and their family, they'd probably think twice about using guns, cattle prods, or poisonous chemicals.
What exactly does "sunsetting consumer Google+" mean? The blog post wasn't particularly enlightening. Are they shutting down Google+ as a social network?
I'm trying and failing to imagine what sequence of thoughts led to you feeling this was worth taking the effort to write down and post on the Internet.
You are presenting a fatalistic theory that Tesla cars have some hidden safety flaws not found in ICE cars without any backing proof whatsoever. In fact, the NHTSA results show the opposite, where the top 3 cars with lowest probability of injury are Tesla cars. That is what I call FUD and it is happening daily on Twitter.
This is rather different from Google Reader. Reader was a popular service that was going strong, the discontinuation really was a hassle to a lot of people. Google+ was essentially not used at all, so this should affect very few people.

This one could be an easy one: Guadalajara, Mexico.

I know what you may be thinking, but bare with me.

Guadalajara has one of the best "tech scenes" in Latin America, with lots of government subsidies and affordable talent that attract foreign tech giants.

Just to give you some examples: Intel, HP, Oracle, and IBM all have major R&D and programming facilities in Guadalajara. Amazon also recently set up its own R&D facility in town. Continental Tires produces around 20 patents a year from its local research facility (most of them related to software and electronics used in the car industry).

But that's not it, there are lots of small-to-medium sized local startups in Guadalajara. The scene has demonstrated that creativity and innovation are something you can always find around the corner.

I come from Academia and I can tell you that in Guadalajara you can find some of the best Science Research centers in the country: CINVESTAV Guadalajara, CIATEJ, and the Universidad de Guadalajara all have top-notch researchers in tech related fields ranging from Biotech to pure Computer Science.

Talking about the city itself, Guadalajara, unlike Mexico City, has just the right size. One of the biggest cities in the country but small enough to move around without much hassle. Geographically privileged, Guadalajara lays in the middle of the country, a few hours away from beautiful and warm beaches from the Pacific Ocean and near from just about everywhere in Mexico. You'll find lots of stuff to do.

Have I mentioned the cost of living and the work-life-balance? Living in Guadalajara is cheap; you can easily find great places to rent, the food scene is amazing (and surprisingly cheap), great craft beer, great food from all around the world, and a really vibrant cultural and art scene. You'll have a good time.

A lot of people in Guadalajara talk English, and there's a big expat community in the city and in the towns surrounding the city.

I really believe that, if you are looking for living on the cheap and have a place to have good discussions about tech, academia, science and more, Guadalajara should be on your list.
