It helps demonstrate where additional investment and development might be warranted. If we have hit a physical limit in networking, then that is one thing - but if we are only hitting an artificial limit because our technology and infrastructure is not sufficiently advanced - then this problem is actually showing an opportunity.

As an architect you have to sometimes ignore constraints to understand if the final picture you would assemble makes any sense. If the final picture you assemble makes sense, then working backwards through the limitations, to find out, are these really limitations or are these opportunities to innovate?

That's my thought as to why you would imagine they are not a limitation. To aid in brainstorming, innovation and identify opportunities for improvement, or alternative solutions you would not have seen if you simply accept the bottleneck as a given.

And the judges she have been voting for (not just the supreme court, but across the federal judiciary where she's voted to confirm virtually every one of Trump's judge nominations) are generally in favor of fewer limits on campaign finance laws. I think if you vote by proxy for less campaign finance regulation, you should be fine with facing the results.
Sounds like you've been set adrift in a canoe without a paddle and you're trying to keep up with the other canoeists.

You need to ask your colleagues to pair with them, and your management to encourage the practice. The amount of institutional knowledge you need in order to thrive should be more fire hose than eyedropper. The reason people fight with their tools? The tools suck in terms of instructions and the only way you master them is to watch others master them.

As soon as you make yourself indispensable (this can take many forms, and you should explore holes in the lineup that you enjoy doing, which may include project tracking, or thoughtful code reviews, or bringing homemade pizza in when everybody's starved and exhausted and can't bring themselves to eat), you're secure. Work as hard or as little as you like, and don't feel bad about it. That's the maximum degree of control you get, with a sizably random portion that will forever be outside your control.

Take some comfort in your idle time and try to push it toward reading or documenting something, even if it's as mundane as your own on boarding experience (in order to make it easier for the next new hire). Try this philosophy: As long as you put in your hours and meet expectations, you're fulfilling your purpose to the company by prettying up the place and using your weight to keep the building from blowing away.

>I would be very happy if a variant of QUIC became its own OSI layer 4 protocol so we could start re-engineering all higher level protocols to use QUIC rather than UDP or TCP.

So pretty much something that will never get implemented in middleware. About the only way for things to get is to tack them on to the HTTP TLS layer and have Google/Firefox for the update to everyone.

>Your criticism is based on a fundamental misunderstanding. The US prison system is not intended to rehabilitate anyone,

Depends on your definition of rehabilitate. From the Bureau of Prisons web site:

>We protect public safety by ensuring that federal offenders serve their sentences of imprisonment in facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and provide reentry programming to ensure their successful return to the community

>As a result, it's perfectly rational to track those people and be wary of them.

If you agree with the premise that jails are making criminals even worse, the more rational answer would be not to send them there to begin with, right? After all, if you put people in jail and release them, you are making society worse off.

It would be more rational to keep them in prison forever.

I think the most rational approach, though, is to fix the prison system and provide proper rehabilitation. Accepting that we incarcerate people, and release them in a way that makes the public unsafe, is a poor option.

>but treating the system as transactional in the sense that you break the balance by committing a crime then pay it back through slave work in jail is perhaps one of the few ways to make the system even more dysfunctional than it already is.

This is a strawman - no one here is suggesting slave work, or even any work, in jail as a measure of rehabilitation.
A foreign spy agency isn't going to walk around with a sign saying, hey we planted this. The spy's sole purpose is to make sure Tim doesn't know about it.
The other part of that is doing something about it. No action, no success.

Of course, by the time you figure it out you'll realize that most wealthy people are not the evil sleaze we expect them to be and you'll take the same actions they do to protect yourself against destructive governments and financial regulations. It's sad that the perspective of those with scarcity mentality regarding wealth are often their own worst enemies.

You should do more research. Most skin cancers are trivial to treat. Testicular cancer, one of the most common cancers in boys and young men is, for the most part, extremely treatable as long as it's caught relatively early.
And yet, pre-soviet Russian architecture doesn't seem to share that trait.
So where are we spending all that money from positive contributors?
It's absurd to say that imposing a limit is somehow misleading for something sold as "insurance." "Actual insurance" almost always has a policy limit. Everything from car insurance to corporate liability insurance has a limit. I can't think of any "actual insurance" besides health insurance that doesn't have a limit.

Again, I'm not arguing against having health insurance be unlimited. I'm taking exception to your rhetorical mode, which I think is dishonest. By making the issue about the "big greedy insurance company," you obscure the fact that the public will be paying for these benefits. You're selling the public something as a "you can have your cake and eat it too" but that's a bill of goods.

Normally, I'm all for invisible hand capitalism for most things, but clearly in the case of medical services it's completely broken.

What we need is price ceilings on medical procedures, something reasonable. Perhaps, cap procedures cost in some way, maybe 1k to 4k based on what it is (make it illegal to charge more and hold hospitals financially accountable). There has to be some kind of cost control, either from the government or the insurance companies. We can't expect patients to choose these cost controls. I realize this means that some procedures won't be done but it's better than bankrupting everyone left and right.
One quibble: child cancer and adult cancer are treated differently. Children can actually take a whole lot more punishment (they tolerate toxicity better, have more ability to recover afterwards), so for some cancers the success rate is substantially higher than for adults.
I wouldn't be so blunt as the parent, but I think their comment demonstrates something that would be foolish to ignore if you're a potential business founder: credibility matters, and SaaS has a major credibility problem when it comes to personal data protection. If you're collecting personal data - and especially if you are targeting a market that is particular aware of how widespread data beaches are - it would behoove you to include your data protection approach in your sales pitch.
Of course it's not 100% effective, and nobody ever claimed it was. Health insurance in the US, after ACA, caps your costs at a predictable amount.

Very interesting. People really care about latency so we are also look at more datacenter-local journaling schemes that maintain consistency at the expense of a theoretically unlikely hit to durability.

Tim Cook would have to know. If there is something like a NSL involved, Apple's legal team would have already reviewed it. That same legal team would also be advising Cook on what he publicly says since he is an officer in the company. He could lose his job or be fined for saying false information in the press (think about what happened to Musk) so its in his and his legal team's best interest to only say true things in the press or at least spin things so they aren't blatantly false. An NSL compels you to say nothing. You can neither confirm nor deny anything and its probably against the law for him to outright lie about the situation in the eyes of the SEC so he has to either be spinning things, omitting things, or outright telling the truth. The Bloomberg piece is fantastic but that kind of attack vector does exist however narrow it may be. I don't know why Bloomberg seems to want to double down on this. They are either incredibly stupid and are involved in some murder-suicide plot against Supermicro or they are telling the truth but maybe a little misguided.
In Africa we are the total opposite. We are the masters of small talk. Traditionally when you meet someone you need to ask how the person is, how his/her family are and whether or not the rains have been good (rains are an indicator for the size of the harvest nevermind that we buy most of our food now). Some people go through all the family member, how is your dad, how is your mother, how is your daughter is she enjoying school, where is your brother now, how are his kids, has the last born started grade school ... After all these greetings only then can you get to your business. I swear this is the reason Africa as a whole got left behind in terms of technological development. Half the day is passes on small talk. It does make for pleasant interactions. You get to know the person you are dealing with well as we like to say, there is no hurry in Africa. In the cities we do have less small talk.

If you ever get a chance to listen to a South African radio call-in show, you will hear just about every caller ask the show host/DJ how he or she is before airing their view. It can be irritating listening to the show host say I am fine 100 times.

The Pentium 4 Netburst architecture was relatively stagnant between the years 2000 and 2004. "Prescott" (2004) was still "Netburst" but Prescott includes AMD64 so I'd say that's a major change.

Still, its reflective in the naming. Netburst, Willamette, Northwood, Prescott, and Tejas were all called "Pentium 4", and lasted from a time period from year 2000 to 2006.

Sure, there were a few additions: Hyperthreading I guess. But otherwise, the main difference in this timeframe were the 250nm to 90nm scaling (which got "free" GHz upgrades back then without any effort)

In short:

> what we used to call the 'annual upgrade.'

You're exaggerating. Progress has slowed but Willamette (year 2000 1.5GHz) vs Northwood (year 2002 2GHz) Pentium 4s weren't that dissimilar.

Prescott (2004) is even more amusing, as it hit 3.8GHz (Intel Pentium 4 570J). But boy, oh boy... you really can't compare Prescott 3.8GHz against Sandy Bridge (2011, 3.6GHz) or Coffee Lake (2018, 3.6GHz ), even if the base clocks are all close.

However, the inventor of tea bags never intended them to be used for brewing tea either[1]:

>First appearing commercially around 1904, tea bags were successfully marketed about 1908 by the tea and coffee importer Thomas Sullivan from New York, who shipped his silk tea bags around the world. The loose tea was intended to be removed from the bags by customers, but they found it easier to brew the tea with the tea still enclosed in the porous bags.

That is, the "correct" usage of tea bags came from the customers misusing the product a century ago.

Who can say that unfolding a ketchup cup doesn't follow the same pattern?

I think we’ve hit an impasse tbh. I fundamentally disagree with your points and you fundamentally disagree with mine. However I think part of the problem is we both come from different worlds within IT so our perspectives are likely just a reflection of that.

Car insurance has no lifetime limit. The limit is either per year or per event.
Glad to see this report being referenced. A friend and I volunteered to gather this data at the beginning of 2017 along with hundreds of other volunteers. It's an interesting process. You show up, they assign you specific streets to walk and you just count up homeless people, noting their sex, rough age, and dwelling type (improvised structure, vehicle, etc.).

I encourage anyone who is interested to volunteer for the next SF homelessness count, likely in January 2019 (They do one every 2 years).

As far as being able to visualize what it's like to be a 10x developer, such a person can continuously type whatever is needed to get to the next step, whether it's code or sql or whatever, while maintaining adequate performance and quality.

They don't have to type fast, but they're also not relying on Stackoverflow for learning concepts.

There was a comment a while ago I think about. It's about what it means to be poor.

Being poor is more than not having a roof over your head, having trouble getting food on the table or not having a job.

Being poor is how you can handle unforeseen expenses. For example your car or your freezer breaking down or you getting fired. Or getting sick or injured.

If getting sick in America means you'll lose your life savings how many people are actually poor in America?

> Do you have examples?

I do not possess any examples. The policy is described in a rather facile way here, however:

Possibly the policy has changed recently, I don't read cleveland.com much anymore. (I don't think much of the author of that article or the paper's senior editorial staff, for a lot of mostly unrelated reasons)

> Many media outlets have a policy of not including race unless there are n (usually 5-7) other physical descriptors.

That sounds about right, I guess. In addition to skin color I'd expect an eyewitness with a decent view of a crime to describe - although not necessarily to recall correctly! - build, height, gender, hair color, and clothing. Some of the other common identifying factors (voice, eye color, gait, scars and tattoos, etc.) seem like they might be a bit of stretch.

> a. Cancer for many is a terminal disease.

True, for about 50% of people it is terminal.
I doubt the overlap is perfect.

> c. No one mentions the non terminally ill 95% who presumably enjoy...

True, however, about 50% of people will get cancer at some point in their life.

So I guess for a lot of people it's more like you live well, until you get sick. And almost everybody gets serious illness at some point (such is life -- it ends).

But (b) is certainly a fair point.

Here's what I expect them to do. Show me a real picture of the chip. Show me some samples of the malicious traffic. Show me some code that they found, tell us which server models they found the affected hardware in. Somebody should have SOME shred of information on this, but there is none. You don't just sell thousands of servers, and not have a few of them that end up getting shipped to someone else, or have a few that end up in someone's test lab, or home lab.

Somebody should be able to produce SOMETHING without giving up their sources. Why can't they produce any of this?
This thread is about this specific app/idea/team. It is not about potential security problems in general. The parent could have just asked "what is the security and privacy?" rather than make baseless assumptions and accusations. So no, it is not a fair critique without more information and I don't see how an article about unsecured Firebase databases is related given the current information. I can give you a similar article about unsecured, internet accessible Elasticsearch servers, but does that mean the ones I run are unsecured? You could assume that if you want but that would be an incorrect assumption.

Right. But, what if the client (eg browser) would ask the system if the message has been fully processed? Then the client can re-send the message if the Server lost the original message? For example:

client: "Hey, buddy! Did you process that message I sent you? Here is the ID."
Server: "No. Send it again."
client: "Ok. Here is the message again."
[Server processes it, completes processing it, sends back response.]

If done this way, wouldn't you be able to reduce the need for persistence of the original message and events from the client? (Not that persistence of the original event on the Server would be a bad thing.)
I LOVE this idea! Here in the US, it could really help out rural communities. The best part is that it is 'free' to everyone; you've already paid the taxes.

Small communities could, and do, organize festivals based on local culture: Trout fishing in the summer, Ice festivals in the winter, Duck races in the spring, etc. They get people interested in some aspect of the community, be it a festival, music, the climate, foods, textiles, history, etc. Either way, the community sends stuff out or brings people into itself for 'free' as the taxes have already been paid.

This incentivizes these small communities to plan for the festivals, to clean up the streets, to pay people to make it look nice, get a bunch of bunting ready for the 'homesick' tourists that they sent AirBNB vouchers out to. People come in, spend money at the diners and in the shops, at the mechanic's when a tire goes flat. There are knock-on effects that the community feels.

Or it incentivizes them to get better at food/textile/goods production. Maybe they make a mean steamed-ham. They get better at curing and steaming the hams, they find a niche in the market they didn't know they had, they hire more workers to fill the niche. City-slickers get some steamed-hams, realize that they don't have any rolls to eat them with, and go out and buy some. Again, knock-on effects.

For communities that are very small, they could run mini-lotteries, like one during a Wednesday night bowling league. You sign up, they draw a name out of a hat, you get 10% of everyone's tax money that entered (something less than the 30% that the community would have sent out).

Communities that don't participate still receive taxes as before. Some that choose to spend these taxes are taking a chance, true. But, I feel that this 'priming of the pump' is fantastic idea. It gets people moving about, making things, buying meals and plane tickets.
