Even if one arch is intrinsically lower power than the other, I am not sure that x86 would be the one to come off worse.

For example, could one not argue that an x86 binary / code size is on average smaller and more dense than the ARM equivalent, therefore on x86 cache misses will be less common, less ram needs to be used etc etc. Perhaps a denser binary is better for power consumption?

Although this effect would be very marginal even if it is present at all.

Both are valid addresses and can be assigned to hosts.

Network address is only really used for directly attached networks, non directly attached networks will route to any address in the block correctly.

Same for broadcast address, they're also relative to whatever block you're talking about at the time, so whilst 3.255.255.255 is the broadcast for 3.0.0.0/8 subnet it's just another "usable" address in the 3.0.0.0/5 subnet and when you send a packet then you, and probably your router, don't know what subnets in use on the other side :) (unless it's directly attached)

South Park attempts to atone for its massive climate change misstep
The ADL article does no such thing.

While true that the Israeli oppression of its Arab and Muslim minorities within its internationally recognised borders is not exactly the same as South African apartheid, the analogy credibly holds. The oppression of the Arab population under its occupation and the consistent collective punishment visited upon those captive populations outside its internationally recognized borders is a whole other kettle of fish. That Israel is an ethno-nationalist state that has many laws that privilege people of a given religion over another is fact [1]. Whether the level of state discrimination at this point constitutes apartheid is arguable. That one can make the argument is not antisemitic.

You can disagree about the extent, but it's stifling free speech to lump it under antisemitism and say you cannot bring it up. So credible, that a variety of Israeli leaders have warned against the very thing.[2]

And it is relevant. If you believe that South Africa during apartheid should be called out for its apartheid, then it IS relevant to bring it up. If the murder of Khashoggi by the Saudis tars their economic achievements, why shouldn't this?

Funnily enough, South Africa under apartheid was a plucky little country that withstood much indigenous aggression and had a world leading economy.

Maybe Google's failure to not make the world worse is being spun into an argument on how all technology has its benefits and evils, but the social benefits from Google's tech appear to be outweighed by its social malefices.
In my city, we have a small conundrum. The scooters move more like bikes than walkers, but the language on our bike trail system explicitly forbids any "motorized vehicles". Of course, reasonable people could argue that such a law can be ignored, but I know I'm risking a ticket if an officer so chooses.

Also, bicyclists seem to seriously hate the scooters. I'm not entirely sure why, but it seems to be that they're just not used to having much traffic on "their" paths.

It's about as big as a book, but a popular choice is the Yaesu FT-817ND and its replacement FT-818ND. Both are low-powered radios, transmitting only a few watts, but they cover all of the ham high-frequency bands, as well as the popular 2-meter and 440 MHz VHF bands. You can also receive aviation traffic and the FM broadcast band.

If you don't need all-band coverage, there are smaller, lighter transceivers available.
My experience with Hetzner support has been poor, to say the least. I had the exact opposite experience of Linode and DO.

It's good to get more confirmation that Bootstrap is the way to go. Just today a cohort from Startup School sent a link to a screencast where he had built his entire admin in Bootstrap, and it looked like it saved him a ton of time.

That being said, I built a CMS with a key idea that the site editing/configuring should be under the control of the designer. (as much as reasonable) And anything that couldn't be should be as easy as possible to understand. (down the road exporting the entire site to static files will be an option as well)

I think we all have limits on what control we want to give up but it's easy to set aside when there's a large community support around a framework. I picked up Vue and I am dumping my custom framework that it replaces. And made a new micro-framework to replace jQuery functionality not easily found in vanilla js.

(isn't Racket a programming language?)

Is it hard to design on top of/customize Bootstrap 4? A colleague of mine knows version 3, and is concerned about diving into 4 because community support isn't robust around it yet. (ie, low number of answers on Stackoverflow for 4)

> meaning side-walk devices should go at max 10 mph.

10 mph is more than enough to injure someone on collision, especially if that person is frail. Average human walking speed is 3mph. Runners average 10mph, but a running human has a lot more control over their momentum than someone in a vehicle, because they are expending their own energy to move, rather than using an external propulsion system, and they aren't on wheels.

> Talking about such, is there any data on accidents caused by e-scooters? (percentage wise e.g. vs bikes)

> Our society has been set up so that orders of magnitude of more money is spent on advertising technology than clean energy, sanitation, sustainability, and ethical food production. Technology is not the problem.

The problem is that in order to invest in "clean energy, sanitation, sustainability, and ethical food production" you need a huge amount of capital. A good way to build capital is to invest into technologies that bring a lot of profit such as advertising, you can then use this capital to invest in more noble, less profitable technologies (in the short term at least) such as new medicines, better transportation etc which is what Google is doing to be fair.
Tips on getting hired as a Product Manager
I understand the point you are trying to make, and maybe I am too pessimistic when thinking that the negative outcomes are more likely to happen on large scale than the positive ones.

I think 'who holds the power?' is a good lens to try to judge this through. Unless there is a major shift in how humans relate to the World, I think unleashing this power is dangerous.

Interesting. We not being able to grow food is a show stopper. I'll have to look into that more.
AT&T has ownership stakes an a lot of companies which end up working on projects with Fox, Sony, NBC, etc. They also co-own several distribution channels with said companies.

So they absolutely have some control/influence over a sizeable portion of the media that we consume, even the segments they don't technically "own".

statements like

>Going forward, we will provide more transparency on how we handle concerns. We’ll give better support and care to the people who raise them

and

>We’re overhauling our reporting channels by bringing them together on one dedicated site and including live support. We will enhance the processes we use to handle concerns—including the ability for Googlers to be accompanied by a support person. And we will offer extra care and resources for Googlers during and after the process.

immediately set off my BS detector. whenever someone talks about meta-issues surrounding another issue without ever directly touching on the main issue itself, they're being evasive. the arbitration clause change is a good one. but the entire statement lacks any genuine taking of responsibility regarding the prior anti-employee practices. nor is there any "we're gonna try to stamp out sexual harassment".

notably, there is also no acknowledgement of other recent internal concerns, namely aiding governments in the oppression of their people (china and arguably others) and aiding governments in warfare (the US). while googlers have been shamefully complacent about getting their employers to drop these collaborations, the fact that it isn't even mentioned by pichai in a "please shut up and go back to work" letter is a bit sad.

in conclusion: googlers need to step on the gas WRT sexual harassment changes if they want anything beyond the modest changes announced in this letter and other social issues regarding the company must also be brought to the point of conflict internally.

There is no one thing called "truth". There are different systems of verification, which produce truths, but "1 + 1" is not comparable to "water boils at 100 degrees C". Mathematics fundamentally does not describe the real world. It models the real world--and many other worlds besides. Mathematical truths describe axiomatic systems. The properties of the real world are determined not by mathematics, but by measurement.

That really said nothing. They actually previously had a policy that if you were required to take sexual harassment training and didn't you got docked 1 point? Wouldn't getting fired be a more appropriate penalty?

However they take this "seriously" so I'm sure everything will be fine for Google employees.
I think this is not the appropriate place for such a discussion, but c'mon, the ADL is not exactly unbiased on the topic.

Also I don't think the term "apartheid state" is to be interpreted literally. Of course Israel doesn't have a South African style apartheid system. But it still treats Palestinians as second-class citizens.
I was just in LA, and scooters are everywhere. However, they're all parked upright, and in most cases even organized into a nice, out of the sidewalk path, line (initially I thought that Bird/Lime/etc were paying people to do this, but I saw a mix of different brands aligned as often as just one).

When they first launched in LA, this wasn't the case, it was just as much of a free for all as SF. SF succumbed to regulatory capture, but LA was able to figure out a way to allow all of the companies to exist in a better way.

Note that I was told that in some parts of LA, the organization is still pretty bad, but I was in Brentwood, Santa Monica, downtown, and Venice, all of which were in reasonably good shape.

I think that comes down to your disposition. I find meetings and scope negotiation very energy draining but one in one problem solving doesn’t tax me that much. As long as I’m not spinning plates when you come up to me I can usually stop what I’m doing and get back to it later.

Hard to solve problems often conceal architectural problems or irreversible decisions and I’d rather be involved long before it becomes intractable.
its contents
haven't been there in 2 years. it had some flair initially since the topics that HN would consider borderline were demoted much stricter on lobste.rs. so it appealed to the SW developer in me but over time I moved back here and forgot they existed. in the end most discussions from lobste.rs already had HN counterparts with much comments in the threads due to huge difference in user-base. But I also felt there were a lot of HN haters over there and an attitude that lobsters would be a better HN.

imvho lobste.rs is annoyingly managed top-down by the founder. Opinions usually have to resonate with his (and his bros) ... maybe this is just because the community isn't yet big enough to actually incorporate other sides of the bubble. The discussions I have seen him fight out, and ban people over were ugly. They usually started on the premise of technical disagreements and escalate into a war because of the founder being high on lobsters being his platform so his opinion has to be the right one ...

it felt a lot like majordomo email lists for tech/devel discussions in the 90ies. If you didn't agree with the admin (no matter if their technical points where moot) you were out (that being a poorly managed list - there were ofc many great places where it was a great place exactly because it was ruthlessly managed). But if you want to scale to these dimensions I think founder ego can clash with the growth of the platform.

For me having this behavior witnessed against some of the lobste.rs users, the platform just felt like another bro-culture I could happily live without.

What for me feels narrow might feel "more puristic" to others. But I think lobste.rs could do more in terms of creating a welcoming environment by either distributing the power a little. It's not a thing the community can do since the founder has to be OK with and embrace it. Until then I'm happy to reduce my HN addiction by just limiting to HN.

Again this was some time ago. Maybe this has all long since changed. I'd hope so.

Some high demand cars sell over MSRP. Seeing deep discounts at the end of a model year is common when trying to shift inventory or when dealing with very high margin trim levels. Advertising 26% under MSRP for a base 2019 model in 2018 is a rather extreme case.

i would say that at google there's a chance they're including diversity of ideas and experience.

at most companies, we all know that the skin-deep diversity is the only thing the HR department cares about because it's all they're terrified about getting sued over. however, given google's unique corporate culture, i think that they might be forward thinking enough to seek out different perspectives, but probably not in a quota-driven fashion.

In a locked disused lavatory in the basement?
The accurate thing to say is that technology magnifies people's will. People use technology to spread both good and bad messages, to entice people to do better or worse things, to help others or to put them down. The spread of technology means more people have more power to do either good things or bad things. Therefore, it's on all of us to use technology for good and build technologies that help good work flourish.

In contradistinction to this orthodoxy, I find the following five heresies to have more evidence to support them.

Intelligence is not a single dimension, so “smarter than humans” is a meaningless concept.

Humans do not have general purpose minds, and neither will AIs.

This is awfully similar to "On the Impossibility of Supersized Machines" (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.10987.pdf).

EDIT: Re: energy efficiency: the problem is that humans are too energy efficient. Your brain can keep functioning after 3 days of running across the Savanna without food, which is (a) awesome, and (b) not really helpful nowadays. The cost of this is that you can only usefully use a little energy each day, say 4 or 5 burgers at most. AGI prototypes will usefully slurp in power measured in number of reactors.

There's no reason why you can't assign 3.0.0.0 to a host, it'll work fine. Just make sure you don't put anything else there by convention.

3.255.255.255 would be the default broadcast address, but not only can you use a different address (in fact, any address you want for broadcast, you just need to configure it), but this is also not a real /8... it's 3.0.0.0/15 according to ARIN.

https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-3-0-0-0-2/pft?s=3.0.0.0

3.255.255.255 is default broadcast for 3.128.0.0/9.
