GPU programming model is simple because it's limited. Low single-threaded performance, high latency masked by threads switching, inefficient branching, limited memory model (can't allocate RAM, write access is very limited).

If you're happy with these limitations, write OpenCL code and run it on CPU. Will work much faster than scalar code but likely slower than a GPU would.

> Signal

As I understand it, Signal is always intended to be the "StartTLS" of telephone communication, so naturally it explicitly targets mobile phone users. I only use Signal to call or text someone I would otherwise call directly.

But I agree with your general opinion. For most services I found it's ridiculous to be hardlinked to my phone number. Why on Earth you have to expose your phone number to some random people you chat with on the Internet?! Telegram... at least they accept VoIP numbers...

I use other non-phone, general-purpose services, such as Matrix, to communicate with other people.

The first investment in Theranos was 6 million dollars? No. She started with $200k from a reputable venture capitalist and that's all it took to get the ball rolling. Nobody was pointing a gun to the heads of the people who invested in Theranos. They were just idiots, is all.
No, the discussion was specifically a response to a comment speculating that a person with 100M in 1971 would have been better offer investing in the S&P 500.

Quotes from the GP

> Actually, from the article it's unclear if he's beaten the S&P500 as an investor.

> If his total investments at that time was $100 million, which seems somewhat reasonable given how much he lost in the margin call, investing that in the S&P500 would be worth $4 billion today, which is quite a bit more than the $2.3 billion he's actually worth.

And the parent made a snarky comment about why internet commentators always bring up the s&p 500. And the simple answer is that for most of us ETFs are probably one of the best options for growing wealth. No one actually thinks they will be billionaires by retirement age with ETFs. So if you want to be a billionaire go get richer parents and if that doesn't work, invent Google. Good luck.
This may be a good place to start.

I am really intrigued when people claim that more students are buying Surfae books than MBPs. Where are those students? Do you have any statistics to back that up or it’s just “anecdata”? If it’s latter then I can add mine here. I have been teaching in 5 countries in 3 continents over the past several years and I teach subjects that require coding. I have to go around the class helping students out on their laptops. I have so far seen only 4-5 Surface laptops. On the other hand the number of students using macs ranges from 5% to 80% depending on the type of the class (undergrad, full time masters, executive masters, PhD) and the country. That has remained steady.
Right. For context, that's around 9% if their $48 billion market cap. Much worse than sending any one person to jail.

Also: in the US, I've heard the "value of saving a life" for some decision calculations to be assumed at ten million dollars. That's $200k per year for 50 years. (In New Zealand, from talking to some civil engineers, it is a lot lower.)

At the American price, the fine is worth 420 human lives.
But is it as obvious to tell a distance to a zebra given it’s image?

Not sure if this was his opinion or fact, but it seems likely based on stories like this

Yea... But I think this comment puts them in better light than perhaps is deserved. There are arguments SCOTUS are not defenders of the constitution. Look at Clarence Thomas's dissent on Gonzalez vs Raich, where somehow SCOTUS defended the Fed's oppressing someone for growing their own medical marijuana... In a state with legal medical marijuana. There is no constitutional basis for that. Using the Commerce Clause is laughable, at best. Like Thomas said, if the government can persecute you for growing a plant for your own consumption, inside your own home, to treat your own ailments, then they can persecute you for anything. I mean, what the fuck is that ruling even, honestly?

In other words, I think you are right that they are mostly-removed from the liberal vs conservative circus... But they are not really removed from those anti-constitutional and anti-liberty politics which both those parties defend.

The markdown support is extremely minimal and doesn't support a lot of basics like quotes (which causes many people to "quote" by using a code block, which has issues).

A basic private messaging system would be really helpful in a lot of cases. Right now people always have to post email addresses publicly.

It would be nice to have some built-in visibility into things like title changes, link changes, etc. that mods do, instead of needing them to comment manually about everything they do.

They could implement some scraping to automatically add the year to older stories, instead of users needing to flag it and get the mods to do it manually all the time.

And so on.

Maybe someone here remembers the name but I read a short SciFi story about someone who edited a mediocre movie into an amazing movie, posted it online, got tons of hits, was offered a job by the movie company. When she arrived it turned out they wanted her to be part of an audience of people with good taste. Some AI made the movies, they'd play them to the audience with tracking equipment on their heads. The AI would use the info to adjust the movie. Their memories of having watched the movie would then be erased. Repeat several thousand times until all readings are high. Release movie.

Corporations are "legal persons" in the sense that the same rules apply to them as to people in some areas where that makes sense.

This is mostly a practical matter, so instead of writing a duplicate set of laws for corporations and people, the legislators have said that "for these laws, just apply laws to corporations as you would to people".

...or that's how I've had it explained to me.

I have similar experience with most paid services online, so I think the point is clear - you have to be an actual customer with your payment, although it won't guarantee that you will be treated nicely as a customer, but otherwise, it's certain that you are almost always the product.
I don't see this as "perfect". Far from it, in fact. The whole problem that Pinterest is trying to solve is a thing that they and other social networks have created in the first place.

The problem, from what I can tell, comes from filter bubbles[0]. By following the yellow brick road of INCREASE USER RETENTION, we've seen greedy algorithms built that don't care what content people view as long as they keep viewing it.

I would like to believe that if these filters were toned down or turned off, a wider source of topics would come in for a search, and maybe this more varied information diet would nip some of these problematic echo-chambers in the bud. Then again, maybe this is something that, once created, can't just disappear again...

---

On a side-note, I'd like to remind everyone that Pinterest is a garbage site that lives off of hijacking search results, and them blackhole-ing results due to unwelcome content is a huge irony[1].

DigitalOcean offers the basics with a straightforward API and UI for management at an affordable price. It won't have the offerings of AWS or GCloud, but if you ever need to move to a larger provider, you're guaranteed to have what you're using at DO. I'd go with DO until you have a reason to switch.
and usually the 1.15 return occurs over a period of years. For most subscription services, you usually don’t earn everything back until a customer has remained one for over a year.

And for those 1-time products, ads dont immediately convert most of the time. You need to keep seeing them over and over before you make a decision to buy it.
Why the boycott? (serious question)
> Signal is always intended to be the "StartTLS" of telephone communication, so naturally it explicitly targets mobile phone users.

This doesn't make sense to me. If I have telephone service and the person I want to talk to also has telephone service, why do I want to use Signal to communicate from my telephone device to their telephone device? Aha! Because I want to communicate privately and the telephone service does not allow me to communicate privately. So why do I have telephone service? To allow me to use the service that doesn't use the telephone service?

This always struck me as a particularly poor argument. While it is true that most people have data services through their telephone provider, why do we want to encourage this behaviour. I mean, I could even understand implementing it initially out of convenience, but it's been years and they still haven't provided a means for authenticating with the service without using a means that will publicly identify you. As much as I wish to believe otherwise, I do not think this is unintentional :-( And if it's not unintentional, I'd really like to understand the reason.
High-effort comment.

I would add some from libertarian or socially-liberal inclinations have criticized SCOTUS as becoming tyrannical in a sense that some socia policy was constitutionally-intended to be "experiments" by the states--something SDOC is championed.

I think a good example of this is the political economy of healthcare, which in my opinion should be handled by the states.

Pick a cloud provider. Spin up an instance that will be your server. Spin up an instance that will be your DB. Make your DB only listen to your server instance. Make your server instance only listen on port 80/443.

As long as your app isn't vulnerable to SQL injection type stuff, that's probably enough security for an MVP, and this kind of set up puts you on the right track for scalability.

Unfortunately the site still has no way of doing bullet lists. If you try this is the result:

- One
- Two
- Three
- Four

You can do this but it isn't clear that it is even a bulleted list (particularly with real content):

- One

- Two

- Three

- Four

It does support code blocks but that has strange boxing behavior making them hard to read even for actual code. For example:

- Super long line that will box strangely for some reason... ! Long Line Long Line.
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four

As you move further down a reply thread the box around code blocks shrinks and scrolling increases. If you access the comments with increased font size, a mobile device, or a smaller browser window it also gets worse/happens sooner.

There's also now anti-hammering protection on the site (posting/replying/voting too fast) but it is far too easy to trigger. Just voting for a comment and hitting reply to that same comment can easily trigger it.
Interesting post, I didn't know about some things like "/noobstories" or the karma needed for downvoting.

One feature I've been wanting lately is the ability to see only new comments since my last visit to the thread. I've thought about writing some sort of reader application for this or perhaps a browser plugin.

Hehe yeah, does look like a lot. But 2012-now is..~2800 days, probably there's less than 1000 movies/episodes on there, I haven't counted. Recently watching a lot of series...I like the longer form. I moved into a house in 2012 where they introduced me to torrents - before then I'd hardly seen any great movies, so that was really amazing watching all the great movies and directors I'd always heard of but never checked out. (Had only downloaded books and music before that I guess!) Used to often watch 2 or 3 movies on weekend days. Lately a couple of episodes of a series (or more if bingeing) each night, or a movie. I did put a lot of hours into researching, reading reviews, finding good things to watch, so that we didn't see many that weren't good.

Finding obscure movies online is sometimes tricky (i.e. can take hours), also tracking down good subtitles can be hard, and often have to resync/shift them and/or fix them up. Being able to adjust audio and subtitles while watching with VLC is a must. I get them from:

1. torrents. Usually only works for popular/recent/famous stuff. Sno's torrents with hardcoded English subs are great, have watched a lot of those - mostly series, some movies.

2. movie and/or series sites like primewire, the now-defunct alluc, (which was amazing, finding obscure tv series episodes is much harder now), zocine.com, megashare.bz, www1.swatchseries.to that have links to online files. These come and go over the years. Adding "watch online" to google searches finds sites that the links to movie files can extracted from, either manually from the HTML or using TubeOffline-type downloader sites.

3. video sites. Google the movie/series name - often movies/episodes are on youtube/vimeo/dailymotion, especially when I forget to look for them there! Archive.org has a lot of stuff. (e.g. recently watched White Zombie (1932), the first zombie movie, and The Best Years of our Lives from there)

Not uncommonly an obscure movie will seemingly only be online in one hard-to-find place. (e.g. The only place I could find one classic Australian movie was on someone's page on vk, russian facebook!) I have a startpage with searches each of those sites one click away, so I only have to type the name (& mostly year) once. Whenever I get something from a site I add the site to my start page to easily search it in future. Also my computer is a Mac from 2005 which doesn't make it any easier! Good luck.
