Please point me to the publication from LIGO where they state that the measured speed of light is not constant. Any publication like this would be much more sensational than the apperntly superluminal neutrinos in the OPERA experiment (which turned out to be caused by faulty equipment).
The bit about TLBs is a bit confusing, it seems like you're taking about a software TLB but EPT is just a second layer of address translation.

Also, after moving a VMCS from a physical CPU to another you have to do VMLAUNCH the first time your start the guest on the new CPU, because you had VMCLEARed it on the old CPU. That's it. :-)

This is misleading. PHP 5 may have its support by PHP developers end, but it will still be supported by distributions like RHEL, CentOS, Debian 8, and Ubuntu 14.04 where the support doesn't depend on PHP developers.
I haven’t voted on your comment. Here’s something your comment made me think:

I want us to shame convicted criminals. Shaming accused criminals is dangerous and makes finding real convictions hard. Maybe so far every major public accusation was correct. But would you ever put it past some crooked billionaire to fund a false accusation campaign against someone? To use a few political characters as an example, what if the Koch brothers led a smear campaign like this against the next Bernie Sanders? Should we behave as if accusations are generally true, and begin treating the accused as guilty immediately? Or should we recognize that while rape and other assaults do happen often and are terrible crimes, the court of public opinion could still be intentionally manipulated by bad actors, and such a manipulation represents a powerful tool for smearing good people?

This is what I see being discussed in these comments. The risk that we create when we automatically believe all accusations. I totally get the history of dismissal men have had towards women that has led to a shameful lack of conviction for sex crimes. And so I understand why defaulting to believing the women is a good idea. And between some random public citizens, or comedians etc, I’m less worried about false accusations. But once big party politics get involved, it seems way easier for me to imagine a false accusation being used as a tool of public manipulation. And that’s something I think we should be mindful of.

What do you think of that?

OP here, instead of replying to individual comments I'll sum it up here. As the post states I am aware of the "contact support" workaround. I haven't tried it yet but I think my point stands that this is something enough users want to make it a proper feature. Even if right now it only takes a 10 minute call to Support. Might be wrong, though.
Nuclear reactors happen(ed) naturally, but weapons-grade uranium/plutonium does not, last I checked.
P(A|B) = P(B|A)P(A)/P(B)

Is a rule from statistics. In Bayesian speak this usually becomes

P(prior|data) = P(data|prior)P(prior)/P(data)

or

P(prior|data) proportional to P(data|prior)P(prior)

where P(prior|data) is also called the "posterior". The main idea is that you have some idea of "the prior" and you update it with your data to "update the prior" to get the posterior.

This is probably not what you were looking for but this is it.
Maybe - yet recently I see all around youtube, and social media some anti-China build up. I have never been to the country and have nothing to do but just curious [1]. if there's kind of an orchestrated campaign against Chinese economy. I had the same impression from Russia after Ukrainian revolt when hundreds of channels/users have popped up out of nowhere on social media. I feel some people are doing the same against China as part of the trade wars, and conservationist policies.

[1] One example: https://www.youtube.com/user/NTDChinaUncensored
Just curious. Where does a homeless and jobless person browse HN from?
> If middle class means the choice to own your own home, then the maybe tech workers stayed middle class

The average tech worker has not been able to afford a house in SV for at least a decade now. So by this definition, the average tech worker in SV is lower class.

> I'm concerned that homeownership and retiring locally are luxuries now.

I don't know about retiring, but home ownership is certainly still widely possible outside of SF, LA, and the other usual suspects.

> We don't need to jeer at people for being able to afford roots in their local communities.

If it's any comfort, I don't think the majority of residents of SF/Bay currently were born and raised there. More likely, they moved there for work. How many people were actually born and raised in places like Palo Alto, MTV, or even SF a generation ago?

Remember, MTV before the tech boom was a rather sleepy little suburb...

Barriers to entry are not necessarily a negative. I want my doctor to have an "MD" credential as a barrier to providing me care, for example.

Too many technologists with too little empathy and ethics makes the world dystopian "because I can" at scale.
It is basically "whatever thing in your system has an external dependency that's not 100% reliable, isolate it in an actor/process that can crash and be safely restarted".

Expand the concept to trees of dependencies and several possible after-crash strategies and you get very resillient apps.

But to fully appreciate it, you have to try it. It sounds pretty generic when advocated for but when you code a bit around that, it gets pretty amazing.

"The whole point of IP laws is that they provide a monetary incentive to innovate."

Likewise, then the innovator has more money/resources to continue. A good example of this leading to exponentially growing success and greater scale innovations of inventors/entrepreneurs re-cycling their profits is Elon Musk's path.
may is a very critical caveat to that definition.
It would have to be an extraordinarily bad engineer to actively remove revenue consistently. You can also hedge against this with disaster recovery.
Hm strangely I find the opposite to be true. I actually think personality is really hard to change but if you aren't good at something you can be trained.

Without the right attitude though it's hard to train someone.
Sure. Also there was a guy complaining that free food in Google was an execuse to keep employees longer in office to make them work.
Yeah..... I'm not buying into this 100%...... it sounds like typical corporate BS that he is complaining about, and it was his choice to work instead of being with his family during a serious time of ill health.

Like others have mentioned, I get the impression there are many sides to this this story, just like any other story. And yes, it does come across as extremely whiny. And also somewhat naive.

Yaaaawwwwwwn.... I'm not exactly sitting on the edge of my seat for part II.
Freedom of Speech is a great idea, but we constantly draw lines around the idea. I strongly believe you should be able to say something I don't like, you should be able to be critical of the powers that be, but I think in the next few years we're going to see a strong discussion in the US of outlawing willful dissemination of false information. With the advance of tools like Deep Fakes, outrage culture, and the general uptick of "Fake News" we're going to run into this issue. Stuff like this is a precursor I think.

As much as I believe that people should be able to speak their mind, I don't believe people should have legal protection of spreading false information. As we become more interconnected, the risks become too great. I'll defend freedom of speech as much as I can, but I'm not going to defend the ability for someone to lie or make false claims they know are false.

I think you'd change your tune if I took your public information and added it to this list. Maybe you wouln't notice, but I would be mad as hell if this happened to me. Based on what I found of you, I could write up a Medium with information I got from your website and a bit of research on MIT's website saying that nobody should work with you for X or Y because of what you did in College. I'm not calling for anybody to harass you, but it would be a stain on your reputation. In this case, I believe you should be able to sue me or Medium in order to find out who is making these claims against you.
Honestly, do you think it's fair to fire from a job someone for a single episode consisting of a single epithet towards a colleague? Say, if only once in a heated discussion with a colleague I call him a dick, is it really so bad that I'll have to lose my job and eventually my home?

Also, do you think that getting drunk at work and starting to shout insults against a colleague is the same as using an epithet in a moment of anger- maybe due to the context, etc.?
And nyt print edition still contains advertising...
This is a good reply, and I apologise for the judgemental reaction.

We probably actually share much of the same ethos. Personally I think it would be absolutely if everybody dropped mushrooms and spent a week in the wilderness coming to terms with the unity of consciousness of all beings and the absurdity of building a society based on false economies of wage labour and conspicuous consumption, etc. Worked wonders for me, and no doubt it would be groovy if everybody else did that too.

The severity my reaction is due to the fact that I've seen too many people hit this wavelength and then get lost in the daydream of what would happen if literally everybody else got on this wavelength too. And then spend -- and please believe that I mean this very very literally -- the entire rest of their lives lost in that daydream. I find this to be tragic, because I think that such people have something to contribute to the world, and pursuing this question explicitly degrades their ability to do so.

And thus I actually do think it's a bad question. If you're interested in changing the world, then becoming attached to any kind of theory whose initial predicate is fundamentally impossible means that you are not going to change the world.

A far better starting point is: "how can I change the world without anybody noticing at all"? Followed closely by: "how can I change the world if I get one in a million people to see things my way?" Work your way up from there. Starting from the other direction is a mind-killer.
It's not a matter of just harassing you. There are real consequences with compromised communications.

Think of Midway Battle.
Think of Enigma.

You can say, hey look that proves US/UK govt can spy on you. Never mind Japan/German nations were at war with US. But I digress.

But if those didn't happen, you and I all have a high chance of being a second class citizen (or just a person and not a full citizen) in some totalitarian state in modern date, either being forced to use German or Japanese language. And that is if you are lucky. Many in modern time have a high chance of not being born if German/Japan won WW2. And key battles in WW2 were won by Allies due to breaches in communication network of Japan/German.

Yes, US/UK or any western govt spying on citizens is distasteful. But the communist Chinese govt spying on you and using that information will be far worse than that.
Your last comment about chances shows misunderstanding of how science and/or statistics work. We have not tested our theories in every possible way, so yes, we know they will need updating here and there. However, there is an immense body of work pointing to no "antigravity", so the chance of a surprising result from this experiment is vanishingly small. If you are interested, check out Feynman's Quantum Field Theory textbook where he quite descriptively puts constraints on tensor interactions (like gravity). I would be happy to suggest more introductory books if you are interested.
It's a matter of understanding how apps work on Android (at least today). When apps come pre-installed ir can sometimes be part of the system partition, such as Facebook is your example. Apps on the system partition cannot be uninstall, but they can be disabled.

I believe Google has been working to make it so more apps are not in the system partition, but it can be up to each phone manufacturer on how a bundle apps.
I don't think it's true. I'm more inclined to believe that as companies become large the amount of politics and bureaucracy takes over to the point where the company constantly self-sabotages.
Reasons why I am thinking my country is getting worse:

1) Currency. Its value just keep sinking.

2) Safety. What I fear the most is terrorism. There are a bunch of people in the name of religion doing scary things at night just because they think you're wrong. But cops don't care. I honestly never saw cops fight those people. It's scary.

3) Government. Something is wrong here. Even if next year we will have a presidential election, I don't think it'll make things better.

I wouldn't call the F16 critical. They might even never have been used for an actual mission within Belgium. That nuclear plant though, that is something else. Perhaps also not critical from a 'need this or no more electricity' point of view, but safety-wise this a couple of magnitudes worse than an F16. Word on the street, apparently originating from people working there, is that it has something to do with Engie/France showing off they can do whatever they want.
That’s interesting as a blanket rule. Using the word should per the definition in rfc2119 [0] means that the recommendation is to dismiss. Not sure if you mean it this way.

To me, personal insults are definitely not preferred, but it seems harsh to set a ground rule for dismissal if they are used. Is it just the word “bitch” or would “asshole” or “dickhead” or any pejorative also count?

I think there are some categories that fall into this and if a racial slur is used then, to me, that falls into should territory.

Public library is always an option.
I just watched the first episode of "Norsemen" on Netflix.

One of the best parts of that show is the thick Norwegian accent of all the Vikings.

So on one hand it follows the argument that actors should use their own accent (since all actors are Norwegian) on the other hand, you can't put a German or British actor on the Viking cast and ask them to use their own accent without ruining the show.

My point is, the accent can make sense.
Exactly!! If a meeting time is unsuitable I just tell the other person and they almost always agree to move it. Even most manager types (resonable ones anyway) don't schedule non-critical meetings for 9am the next morning.
E-mails sent to support@company.com sometimes turned up in an online support portal such as Zendesk, Kayako, (Fresh)Desk, WHMCS or a custom tool.

I don't understand how the author is able to read email sent to support@company.com?
What the language contains as a main example is PCRE pattern that matches email addresses and in comparison to it's original EBNF incarnation is highly unreadable due all the syntax noise required to graft backtracing support onto traditional regex syntax (not to mention the fact that it's performance is certainly highly suboptimal).
I only know of one person who regularly uses the dealership for servicing. Car dealerships are known for ripoff prices - you only use it if you don't know any better, don't care about the cost or just want a one-stop "they take care of everything" shop (non-dealership repair shops are often more specialized to particular aspects of cars).
Is this meant to be a competitor to mediagoblin?

It's tempting to think of Google as a monolithic entity that "has a will" and "says things" and "makes promises," but in fact what happened was probably more like...

He didn't get the Chrome job.

His resume was "kept on file" as they say.

Months later a different job came up with a totally different team of people, and someone on that team remembered him and recommended him. (Slap of ingratitude to that guy I guess. Just one of many things this guy got wrong.)
> Math stays the same

Not necessarily. How much calculus which is necessary to do modern physics has been built on discrete numbers?

> do not invalidate the old knowledge

Of course what is truly known will never be invalidated.

But it's clear that the (rare?) situation in which something which is widely accepted turns out fundamentally flawed has the potential to make those who have proclaimed their strong confidence in it lose apparent credibility (not to mention many years of their life).
Why should calling a co-worker a name be grounds for dismissal? grounds for a warning, or other punishment perhaps, but not ground for immediate dismissal.
Concerted effort to improve technology can be done without patents, that's what collaboration is for. Instead, some like MPEG-LA are doing concerted effort to extort money and prevent competing technologies from emerging. That's the opposite of progress.
So, you think it should be perfectly legal for me to circulate a rumor that geofft on hackernews is a pedophile?

I think our (the US) defamation laws are pretty reasonable. It provides a huge leeway for free speech but draws the line at lies that damage a private party. If you're going to publish a serious accusation like that, you had better be able to back it up - and if you can't, you should face legal consequences.
I'm not saying there isn't. But that doesn't explain why Huawei is more attacked than other Chinese companies, which was your question.
To clarify for Hyper-V: in Hyper-V, even the host OS is virtualized and runs together with the guests at the same level.

By definition of conditional probability: P(A|B) = P(A,B) / P(B) and P(B|A) = P(A,B) / P(A). Therefore, P(B|A) = P(A|B) * P(B) / P(A).

Hello everyone. I have used MAVERICKS78@PROTONMAIL.CH quite a number of times and they have never disappointed me. I got virtually every information my Spouse has been hiding over the months easily on my own phone. The spy app diverted all his whatsApp, Facebook,call tracking, text messages, sent and received through the phone: I also got his phone calls and deleted messages. he could not believe his eyes when he saw the evidence because he had no idea he was hacked. they do all types of mobile hacks and computer hacks. You get unrestricted and unnoticeable access to your partner/spouse/anybody's social account, email etc. Getting the job done is as simple as sending an email to MAVERICKS78 @ PROTONMAIL.CH stating what you want to do. Thank me later.

I was intrigued by the descriptions of Chinese rural poverty. Eating bark and clay during famine times, fertilizing the garden with night soil, eating meat once a year. When I read The Good Earth, I thought it was a picture of China painted for Westerners. Which perhaps the article is as well, but it's interesting that the pictures are so much the same.

Chinese companies have their hands in pretty much most of electronic devices used in the world today. NONE of the other nations such as Russian, etc have capacity.
