"[3B2] Fairly normal architecture, except it is big endianian, unlike most computers nowadays. The char datatype is unsigned by default."

That sounds like any SGI, or Sun, and although they're mostly gone there's still the Power series from IBM (runs AIX), and the only reason to use the expression ".. unlike most computers nowadays" is by counting the sheer number of Intel, AMD and ARM chips in use. Of course those numbers are overwhelming - ARM alone sells billions - but it's not like big endian is some obscure old concept in a dusty corner. (The irony is that ARM can be used in both BE and LE modes, by setup).
Anyway, at work I have to write all the code so that it runs on BE as well as LE architectures. BE is alive and well.
If the US wanted to punish Assange maybe the best way is to massively ignore him and get everyone else to do the same. He's an attention freak, so walking out of his self-imposed imprisonment to resounding silence would hit him where it hurts.

(Personally I think whistle blowers are an important part of applying transparency and checks to companies & governments, just some of the information merchants aren't the nicest of people.)
I have less ire for Boeing than I do the FAA.

There was an interesting comment on airliners.net that the USSR operated new airliners on freight services for several years before putting them on passenger services. So far I've confirmed that for the Tu-154 trijet, for example, which flew freight for two years before taking a revenue passenger.

But in the West there has always been a tension between certificating for safety versus commercial imperative. Why hasn't the 737Max been grounded pending investigation? Because that would lead to companies losing money. Why would the FAA care about that? Because it considers manufacturers and airlines as 'stakeholders'.

A beautiful mistake that led to an open and competitive PC market. While Windows dominated, the availability of PC hardware allowed the growth of Linux, too.

And I’m saying that as somebody who was a huge Amiga fan back in the day, and moved quite reluctantly to PCs after that.

Any new platform these days is likely to be user-hostile: locked down, tied to a monopolistic App Store, disallowing development without special permission, and abusing secure boot tech to lock out alternative operating systems.

So we should be fighting to keep the traditional Intel-based PC alive, as we’re unlikely to see anything like it again!
Real-user monitoring with Plumbr
Once upon a time, in a land far-far-away (Estonia) a team of engineers hacked a tool that could monitor Java heaps, and manage GC better. Today, the product has morphed into a real-user monitoring tool. Today, Plumbr can:
* collect data about user interactions/API responses.
* provide information that gauges speed, health, and performance.
* give insights into impact, thus helping prioritize fixes.
* configure alerts, set thresholds, and acknowledge improvements.

It's worth knowing that Airtable uses some nasty dark patterns.

Airtable has a share button much like Google Docs. If you're on the free tier of Airtable, and you use the share button, you receive $ credits on your account when a user accepts the invite into you "workspace". So it lulls you into a pattern of sharing widely.

When you go premium, use of that "share" button has the opposite effect. Instead of receiving credits, you are automatically, silently billed for each person that joins your workspace. There is no warning in the UI that this will happen. It's completely invisible [1]. In my first month of being a premium Airtable user, they billed me over $2000 USD onto my credit card - without any warning whatsover. This is because about 10 people in my team accepted shares. They also do some other weird stuff with accounts, e.g. if you create a premium account, it's only premium for one workspace (a workspace is effectively a folder of databases with its own permissions). If you create another workspace, it's set to the "free" tier and you have to pay all over again. Team subscriptions with multiple workspaces get very expensive, because they multiply up in some way. The pricing is model very opaque.

It pains me when start-ups are successful using cruddy growth hacking tricks like this because it tells then next generation of start-ups "This is how you do it".

NYT:

> Mr. Assange has lived for years in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London and would have to be arrested and extradited if he were to face charges in federal court, altogether a multistep diplomatic and legal process.

Meanwhile, The Guardian:

> Julian Assange is in arbitrary detention, UN panel finds

Also from The Guardian:

So, yes, simply "living" in the embassy. Nice dodge, NYT.

The USA are the bad guys here, and no amount of deliberate obfuscation by the CIA is going to be able to ultimately hide that. This whole thing is a national shame.

This was painfully visible during first year at university - all the gifted people who during high school didn't have to learn at home at all hit the wall. They simply couldn't manage like that anymore.

Many somehow switched and started learning/working on assignment, those who didn't didn't make it.
That's a relievingly admirable way to look at these creatures. I find the English "it" an exceptionally tiring feature. There are so many prejudices and world views embded in our languages.

From reading the actual article, the headline sounds dramatically overblown. It largely talks about a system to measure non local wind speeds so the balloon can adjust altitude to use the wind for navigation (including standing still). It seems to largely leave out any questions I'd have around confining helium or whether power equilibrium can be achieved.
I mean, I see what you're doing here, haha, but AlexanderB brings up a good point about asymmetrical debate, where one side says something sloppy, vague and poorly sourced and then expects you to "write a thesis" to rebut. Personally, I think this phenomena really does need a name, less to dismiss it, more to get lazy arguers to stop demanding high quality rebuttals (and at the very least to make the debate easier to walk away from). Fundamentally it's a kind of hypocrisy, but it needs a lyrical name. I like the pattern of naming a fallacy and then opting out that you're demonstrating, but a name could actually be useful. Indeed you could even term it a fallacy, the "vice demanding virtue" fallacy, or something like that.
Think about it like an electromagnetic field, where the probability of the house getting burned drops rapidly, inversely proportional to the square of the distance. So 30 feet is the minimum, 100 feet is even better, etc.

If you read the article, the issue was embers floating the air and gathering on roofs and parts of the house that are not resistant to flames. So that's why the material has to be changed too, it's not about distance.

Have you read the other thread about Julian Assange on HN today with hundreds of replies? It's full of people calling him a traitor and/or an evil Russian spy that should go to prison for life. Many sensible comments defending Assange as a journalist got down voted all the way to the bottom.

Sure, I'm using 4 G mobile internets now and occasionally have to play call of duty at around 80 ms and I can still kick ass. There's no place like LAN for hardcore competitive gaming but if the game's netcode is done well 80 ms is good enough. The trick is to have some sort of lag compensation, which cs should have as far as I know, where you don't have to lead your shots so the feel of the game is mostly the same, you just get the reports a bit later than you would at 20 ms.
I've seen this in my hometown in Ukraine. It has ~20 outsource companies in different sectors and if you're good at doing what you're doing and kind of swapping jobs, there's still a ceiling they wouldn't want to break for you despite usually being paid by US citizens for their services. It's easy for companies to get new trainees and juniors as city has 2 universities with CS courses and everyone seems to want to work in IT.

Most of folks who want bigger salary either move to a city with product companies (Kyiv, Odessa, Lviv, Kharkiv, etc), so there's natural competition and outsource rise their salaries too, or go remote.
There was a comment here with details about the sensor and dual nature of the ISO. Why did it get deleted?

Look, my own experiences are that Bavaria is like the American South - politically conservative, racist, xenophobic. Even as a white, straight, German-speaking male I have had some scary experiences there. By your commentary, I gather perhaps you have perhaps been a target of racism, which is of course incredibly disappointing. The rise of right-wing, xenophobic groups with the obvious history of 20th century Germany is shocking.

That said, none of my previous comments above were commentary on Munich. If you'd read carefully, my original statement was that there can be remarkable diversity even in a small geographic area, where I attempted to give examples of diversity than extend beyond race. The world is a richer place when we have a mix of gender, religion, language, culture, politics, and thought, and yes too, the wonderful spectrum of skin tones, eye color, hair, etc.

I also pointed out that lumping the United States together is a common fallacy. Case in point - you live in New York, I live on the West coast, and these two areas have very different cultural practices in the large, before we start talking about sub-cultures. I'd tell a great joke about the difference between the west coast and east coast, but you'd likely find reason to take offense at it as well, which ironically is the gist of the joke.

My quote about hummus came from a documentary on the history of the middle east conflict, where I have also heard similar statements made by Israelis I have known personally. One of the wonderful things about diversity is that for open minded people, we can seek areas of common ground in our diversity, and frankly food has been a way to break down barriers between people, for like, centuries perhaps millennia.

So hey, you want to take offense because you like being offended, enjoy.

Yeah whilst we don't know the indictments yet, I think it's safe to say that they might be related to the documents which he published from the Russian hacking.

The rumors that he knew that he was talking with the GRU and that the documents were stolen by the Russian government is one thing.. But the idea he had foresight that the Russian government was trying to get Trump elected is something that might come out.

Progressives, like myself who supported Wikileaks are curious at what Mueller has put together. If the worst is true, then Assange used Wikileaks as a tool to try to make sure Clinton did not become president. It's known that Clinton did not like Assange before the hacking leak, it's my guess that Assange published those documents in some effort to undermine her election chances. Part of me, think's that's OK. if it's OK for someone to come out with some crimes that someone might have committed and stand up and testify to that, then it's in the voting public's best interest to have all the facts..

Then again, there's the possibly non-zero chance he knew that this was coming from the GRU or at least the Russian government, which anyone in his org should have had experience in asking themselves the larger questions around this...

lv is citing an Asimov quotation on Newton's actual motivations, not the motivations Newton plausibly had or you think Newton had.

Trying to infer the motivation from the result is exactly what aakilfernandes's quotation is referring to!

(Whether Asimov had done his research on this is another matter.)
When he leaves he will be transferred to the US and tortured, just like Manning was. His trial will be a farce, just like Manning's (did you know POTUS—Obama at the time—declared Manning guilty prior to trial?). You, or I, or anyone would skip out on bail if appearing means you get given to torturers who will torture you without a trial. That's not his choice, it's the choice of the people out to physically harm him.

If he stays he will never receive a trial or be allowed to face his accusers.

Either way his human rights are violated. That's why it's arbitrary detention.

It's why his indictment has been kept secret; they want to physically grab him before they have to justify, legally, the charges against a journalist who published things in the public interest. If they weren't being shady about the whole thing, he could have been charged by now - but doing so would require them to be subject to legal scrutiny. They don't want that, because they don't have a leg to stand on. They won't tip their hand officially until he's already physically in their (or their allies') custody.
If someone would fly me from the UK over to SV and give me somewhere to stay I'll take their position anyday.
Probably it's related with age - we like what we were used to - but contemporary (3D) games feel terribly boring comparing with the ones when I was a kid. My will to play them is literally zero.
I totally agree with what you're saying, but sadly I don't think the average user actually cares about these issues.
Obviously we don’t know all the facts here, but since this is linked to the Mueller investigation, we can make an educated guess that this is not to do with anything that occurred before Assange entered Ecuador.

Whilst we know a fair bit about his actions before (for which he was never charged), afterwards gets significantly more obscure but certainly he’s been hanging out with some dodgy characters (including the one mentioned in the article) and appears to have been a sitting accomplice in a plot to destabilise the US.

So, whilst this disclosure is a huge cock-up, there’s no reason to believe any of this has free press or free speech implications.
It's entirely feasible to mitigate a lot of that insider risk. You have to pick the convenience/risk reduction trade off, though. For example, it may make sense to disallow any unilateral access, and only allow signed, reviewed code to run. There doesn't have to be a single entity with universal root.

In such an environment, encryption at rest can come in handy because it mitigates some of the physical attack vectors.

What moral footing is that?

* There is no unbiased media outlet

* There are no laws against partisan media outlets

* It's not even clear that Wikileaks is partisan, despite rantings to the opposite effect

* Nothing wikileaks has released has ever been proven to be false.
It's interesting that this $45000 camera has a high speeding rolling shutter CMOS sensor (rather than a global shutter). They're spiel claims to minimise the jello effect rather than eliminate it. Would have expected more at that price.
With the slight problem that there are no Human Rights in Russia and people like Snowden or even Assange then have to be seen as stooges of the Russian government/intelligence agencies.

Because, basically, there is no way they can say no if the Russian intelligence really wants them to do something.
He’s had a long career, it’s possible he’s been both. Just saying.
You are right in that games have latency inherent to the processing of game engine ticks and depending on when you press the button the server might have just advanced to the next frame when your input gets processed and you're looking at another delay of potentially tens of milliseconds on top of network round trip and of course however long it takes the game to draw the updated info on your screen once the information gets back.

Wonder if it would make sense nowadays to send world state updates to clients at 1000 Hz or if it's even feasible?

Heres an article breaking down the cost of precisely that rattlesnake antivenin [1]

Unsurprisingly, its mostly blatant money grabbing.

70% is pure markup that insurers don’t pay but uninsured do.

2% is the R&D cost. Probably for something we invented 100 years ago which makes you wonder just how the R&D continues to cost $100+ per dose decades after its basically perfected anyways.

Any good Assange did blowing the whistle has been completely undermined by his collusion with Russia to help thwart democratic institutions and processes.

Keep pets in mind. There are a surprising number of common house plants that are poisonous, but tempting treats for cats.
They appear to be progressives. The most aggressive of the posts are from people who seem to be very strong Democrats/liberals who are blaming Assange for 2016 election result. The smaller part of progressives defending Assange seem to be Bernie supporters (so a minority in progressive movement).
Using a crack has both legal and security implications for the company and therefore at least in my place of work can result in serious consequences for the employee including termination of employment.

I am ignorant on this subject - when discoveries are made with the LHC are they made public or are they kept 'secret' by its 'owners'?

Totally agree. Though open source intelligence suggests that Assange did launder information he received from Russian intelligence services.

He played a key role in the chain of them influencing the presidential election. To me this is not a case of clearly being a crime or clearly not being one. Room for further investigation and a trial.
> and appears to have been a sitting accomplice in a plot to destabilise the US.

Except that that plot's sole function was publishing documents in the public interest.

If your country can be destabilized by pressmen doing what pressmen do, then your country needs destabilizing. That's the point.
