I have the older ASRock X399 Taichi. The BIOS is this odd mashup of glitzy OC features I'll never use combined with stuff they took directly from AMD without touching. There is even mention of the AMD XGBE SOC NICs in the BIOS (and they are not wired up). The worst thing about the BIOS is that I have some Micron U.2 NVMe drives whose option ROM causes the BIOS to hang about 9/10 times. If I disable legacy option ROMs, all is good until the next time the board loses power, when that setting is lost. Asrock's answer was 'reinstall windows' (which would be nice, but I have FreeBSD installed).

I ended up getting Crucial CT16G4WFD8266 dimms. Crucial was painful to deal with, and kept cancelling my order because they "could not verify key information". I finally just ordered the mempory from provantage.com, for slightly less. The underlying micron part number from dmidecode is: 18ASF2G72AZ-2G6D1

If I was doing this today, I might wait for 2933 or even 3200 memory..
Yeah, there are a lot of medium sized midwestern and southern cities that would have had the best of all worlds except 1) presumably a lot of software developers amazon wants to hire don’t want to live in these places and 2) related to 1, there aren’t a lot of software developers already there.

I wish they had considered more cities like Cincinnati, Nashville, or Cleveland. Those are actually fine places and they have low COL (although Nashville’s is getting up there). Plenty of other cities in the US also fit that profile. Even though I’ve heard bad things about working for Amazon and wouldn’t work for them in Seattle or DC, I would seriously consider taking an Amazon SDE salary somewhere that salary could go very far
What you are stating couldn't be further from the truth. The average US citizen actually knows very little about China (we can include most of the World) and are very easily manipulated into accepting views that do not reflect reality.

We are working on a product written in Scheme. It's mostly just me currently. Not (currently) using Racket, but a set of libraries[1] on Gambit-C, as well as an interpreter written in C++[2]. We might take someone on board a few months from now (London/UK).

Try to build a science career when you are living from the slave wages and short term contracts most universities give to grad students and postdocs. Oh and that doesn't even mention student debt, in case you are in a country where you had to take a loan and pay tuition.

Also, if you don't publish e.g. 2 major papers per year, then your career will be certainly put on pause for you - permanently. There is pretty much no way to get back unless you have a list of current publications on your CV.

Dude, please, before trying to lecture someone about moral choices, at least try to research the subject and the conditions in which most of the research is done.

For your information, most of the work is not done by the tenured professors who can afford to take e.g. a year of sabbatical to ponder their values because their employment is secure. The professor is there to raise funding and to do management work, in the most cases they are only signing their name on work produced by the nontenured staff who certainly doesn't have any of those luxuries.
The web doesn't have to eat everything.
> What Aether does is, you can actually disable the mods that you don’t approve just for yourself, and those disables count as an impeach vote. If majority of the community agrees, the mod loses mod rights for a while for everyone. That makes it so that Aether communities are places where the content is what the current users of the communities want, not those who were there first by chance.

Even if "impeaching mods through votes" is unpractical, subscribing to an unmoderated view of the forum on your own accord is brilliant!
I agree with that very broadly, which is why I acknowledged it's similar.

The point I'm disagreeing with, is that I don't believe it's exactly like the US. It's a bit different in the US because of the selection available. The US has dozens of large universities to choose from that would all rank among the top 100 globally. Those schools have often been established for 100-200 years or more, with the US having an opportunity to build up a lot of high quality universities over time. That isn't the case in China (yet), their growing affluence is literally only ~15 years old, it's dramatically more pressurized accordingly. China has a lot of increasingly affluent people competing for far fewer top tier universities, which is why they've been sending so many students to the US and Europe.
Humanity will never go extinct as long as the Earth supports photosynthesis generally. If the ecosystem collapses, we might suffer for a little while, but our technology can overcome any environmental problem. Environmental damage, no matter how severe, is not an existential threat, and hyping it up as so does nobody any favors.

That said, environmental damage is expensive, and we should mitigate it. But we should do so with an accurate, not inflated, knowledge of the consequences.
>I would stay away from acid if I had known schizophrenic antecedents in my family. But that's like with anything: be aware of risk factors, act accordingly. Don't eat too much sugar if you are diabetic, don't explore caves if you are claustrophobic, and so on.

Some people think in dependency graphs. But it's much more common for people to think in steps. I put two apples in the cart, the cart has two apples; I put two more apples in the cart, it has 4. Something like Racket that forces you to think about what you want, rather than helping you iterate to get there, is going to be harder to teach to new programmers unless they already have this type of thinking experience from advanced mathematics etc. It's possible that the class wasn't primed to learn functional programming before imperative programming.
The Pyra doesn't have a microphone. However, since the headset port supports all TRRS standards, you could use a headset with a microphone.

Although I still don't think it'll make for a very good phone, and I say this as a backer that's quite excited to get his hands on the Pyra. I'd look towards the Librem 5 for a more realistic phone experience.

> > If you don't own a home, you are effectively short the housing market.

> No, the same way that you aren't short on Tesla if you merely don't own any Tesla shares.

I'm not required to produce Tesla shares every month for the rest of my life. It's not precisely that I need to own "one home" to be "neutral housing", but I need a claim on enough housing for myself (and those I'm responsible for) that I don't have to keep paying market rate for.
Apple really has google over a barrel here. You’d have to imagine that google wouldn’t even toy with the thought of not paying the ransom and testing how many people would switch their search engine from the default to google. Also, let’s say DuckDuckGo was the default and users actually liked it and switched their desktop browser search away from google, they’d be really sorry.
But their product are so inexpensive compared to other vendors, and they seem to have the same exact features, right down to the bugs.
How to deal with too many projects/distractions
I definitely agree with your statement about tech company ethics as a whole. However, Huawei is particularly in the spotlight for US national security reasons, possibly leading to perceiving involvement with Huawei as a liability. See the following (more articles on the subject can be found with a search):

https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/14/17011246/huawei-phones-sa...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10485560675556000

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/19/huawei_spied_us_jur...

Given the increasing US-China tensions, the beginnings of a so-called "AI arms race', and Huawei's use of employees to breach the trust of other companies, would this make an employee seen as a potential risk to US companies? It may sound paranoid, but even unfounded rumors can have an effect if a company is paranoid as well!
If you (dubiously) write your own RNG, sure. But you should never do that. And for library RNGs, you should execute the unit tests of the library. Frankly, running it as part of CI is at best overkill and at worst adds complexity that costs you. If you pin versions of your dependency and isolate the artifact into an in-house artifact repository, so that the library code is literally never changing unless you explicitly modify the version, then you should test it up front, then again only occasionally if you actually have evidence of a bug. And as part of any code review of the code change that introduces a version change.
You have a very 80s way of thinking good sir. There is no longer a need to have these limitations in place anymore.
Seems like a necessity for rural broadband.
It is plainly wrong to say the 1A has “nothing whatsoever” to do with private entities.

Not only has the GP indicated one case (JWs) but there are shopping mall cases and many others where a “public forum” doctrine has extended 1A scrutiny to private property.

(That said I think the analog here for the public forum is somewhere well down the OSI stack. In Layer 7 I am pretty firmly a believer that the private actor discriminates how she pleases.)
> Population growth can increase demand everywhere at once.

But where is the extra population coming from? If you're talking about any other place, it reduces housing costs in that place. If you're talking about a rise in birthrates, that's theoretically possible (though by no means guaranteed), but the timescale is so long that there is plenty of time to build even more housing by then.

> And affordable housing away from a high demand urban center is no use to anyone and not going to attract anyone if there aren’t good jobs there.

Where do you expect the people to be coming from? If it's another city, that's still an urban center with jobs. If it's the suburbs, people can still live there and work in the city as they do now.

And they can't be from the middle of farm country because there aren't enough people there to be a major source of demand, even before accounting for the fact that they would have to both want to move to the city and be able to afford to.
Interesting. Some time ago I had the ongoing debate with a colleague on what it meant to be full stack.

I was under the impression that full stack meant you can do what's needed to stand up a solution at literally every OSI layer.

For example, from down at the base of infrastructure, networking, hardware/cloud, servers / platforms, integration, data / database, custom and COTs applications and services to clients, UI, desktop/web/thin/fat etc. etc.

By that measurement someone who can do all that probably already understands and in a sense, works in distributed systems - you probably had to already to cover the breadth and depth of all that knowledge.

Not picking on your choice of words here ("full stack"), just mulling it over and thinking: 1) if you can do that you're qualified to work on distributed systems and 2) there's no shortage of work advancing distributed systems and that problem isn't going away any time soon.

I'd say distributed systems is challenging (I worked on a startup doing that with database federation and it was really interesting and challenging), fun and important.

I think maybe the bigger question is, are you interested and want to dedicate the effort needed to get into it, and will that make you happy? There's so many levels of working in distributed systems - from research, inventing / building the tech, to implementing existing solutions (e.g. Apache Spark, Kubernetes etc. etc.).

If that stuff is interesting I'd first decide if I wanted to be on more on the research or practical side, and then how much money you need to live, and then choose my entry point into the field.
NSA would've bugged the building without investing anything in that country. Not quite the same.

The original exploiters of Africa are mad that China is investing and building infrastructure on that continent, which will raise historically low prices.
> They were able to find another place near paying similar rent.

I'm a bit confused here. I assume the new place was inferior in some way? Otherwise, I don't see why the landlord would try to force them out if they are paying market rent.
yeah it just doesn’t make sense to blame economic growth on Seattle’s problems when most of the issues boil down to: things are crowded and rent is high

Some people think that Chinese investment in real estate is also to blame but I’ve never seen any data that actually suggests that. Still, Seattle won’t pass rules to prevent speculation on property because at the end of the day, voters just want their property values to keep going up more than they want to live in a livable city for everyone
Looks like the site has a liberal slant.
They subjected their own population to horrors, but at least it wasn't for economic gain.

For the “I want to have a proof that would not require travelling more than a couple of kilometers” part, I would look at seismology, in particular seismic tomography (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_tomography)

It allows us to ‘see’ the other side of the earth.

Given enough locally made samples, I doubt there is a model of flat earth that explains them.

But of course, as others have said, it’s not possible to reason with somebody who doesn’t accept logic as a requirement for ‘reasoning’. A flat-earthed might, or example, accept the tomography proves the existence of a spherical object, but claim the earth is just a small (almost) flat part of the surface of that object.

I’ve seen too many obvious examples of a marketing team getting carried away and abusing these things. The most absurd one was on a police notice on the London Underground advising people to take care to hide their valuables from thieves. How could you find out more?

TOR network is the inbetween between P2P and centralisation. TOR relies upon exit nodes and relays which are hosted purposefully by people all over the world. It's decentralized only in that there's random people to host the servers instead of paying for them yourself, but the clients do depend upon those servers.

Due to the usage of lots of servers the source IP is not easy to get and associate with any specific content. However if you control a relay and exit node, and data passes through those, you can put the dots together.(1) If a platform uses TLS you probably can't track though.

This is true of any server that proxies requests.

I wish people would stop using the term “overpriced”. If it was overpriced, then Apple would lower the price or stop selling it. Apple set the price. They determine if the price is correct based on their sales numbers, not your perceived value of the Bill Of Materials for the phone.
People keep saying this and I really don't follow. Why does the DoD care where the headquarters of the parent company of their contractor is located? Are they gonna pop in and ask questions about the Amazon retail site?

Sure AWS needs a sales office in the region. And a datacenter. And a lobbying shop too. Pretty sure they got all that covered already.
I was hoping someone would comment but it looks like you already dismissed it by down voting so that tells me you aren't really curious about my answer. As such this comment is meant for everyone else who is. But I'll directly answer all your questions.

When I say it was clearly mechanical. I don't mean that it looked mechanical. I said it was clearly mechanical in nature by the way it moved. My brain instantly went there. Maybe it's instinctual.

The object resembled a star or meteor. It was so small that if it was moving forward or backward, I wouldn't know it.

And finally. I think you all have to deduce. Am I trying to justify my original comment on a post that had nothing to do with UFO's with a wacky comment that I saw one in the 90's or did I see this object, saw this post and put it together that way.

Edit: sure, it could have been a supersonic spec of ball lightning. I'll give you that one. Except for the fact, my dad, a witness who actually saw ball lightning in the former Soviet Union said it looked nothing like that. He's sitting next to me and I just asked him about it.

Very cool! I was introduced to the problem by a former colleague of mine: http://ryanmcorey.com/ . His current research on using multichannel microphone arrays to improve real-time source separation, particularly for human listening applications, might be of interest to your team!
TL;DR; because they deserve them.
The way this text does the geometric product is trying to be intuitive by immediately giving a "physical" interpretation as the sum of the inner and outer products. However the physical interpretations breaks down when trying to multiply three of these together.

I think Ben Lynn's approach is actually better: https://crypto.stanford.edu/~blynn/haskell/ga.html (Part 1)

It starts off more abstract, defining the geometric product simply as string concatenation (as in "free monoid" if you're familiar with that term, which you would if you have intermediate Haskell knowledge) plus a very natural constraint. From this natural constraint one can then deduce the sum-based interpretation that the OP gives.

The natural constraint is then further generalised and justified in more detail in Part 3: https://crypto.stanford.edu/~blynn/haskell/cga.html

Aren't workspaces really useful when your physical screen space is limited (when it's not limited much I can hardly get it why won't you just arrange everything you need on your physical screens and just minimize/unminimize apps that you don't need all the time, KDE does this with just WindowsButton+number and it still has activities too although I never found this feature useful on a modern PC with 2 reasonably big screens)? Aren't huge window decorations great for touch screens? As for lack of keyboard - introducing a panel of touchscreen buttons for all the necessary shortcuts or using gestures may probably do the job.
The paradox of thrift

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_thrift
Bezos obviously knows how to run a company, but the only "brand" he has is (I think unfairly) "exploitative capitalism". If Bloomberg can't be president Bezos probably can't either. And probably wouldn't want to, to be honest.
