To be fair, I have used HotelTonight for day of booking and it had a better deal than I could get through any other location online for a very nice hotel.
Performance tests should give metrics, not checkmarks
Well, that sounds pretty clear. So why is this allowed to go on (not just in Shkreli's case, of course, but more generally)? It seems like the two possible explanations are either gross incompetence or rampant corruption - take your pick.
If you're looking for a good hand grinder that has almost no plastic parts, I've been using this Porlex one for maybe... 5 or 6 years now?

https://www.amazon.com/Porlex-Jp-30-Stainless-Coffee-Grinder...

I highly recommend getting THAT one and not the Porlex mini, or any of the cheaper brands. The build quality is not the same, plus you'll want the extra capacity in case you decide to do a big french press or something.

I do pourover as well, which is great, though I do love me a stovetop when I'm feeling old school! Pretty inconsistent though unless you really dial it in over time.
Why not? It is a supported platform: https://parsecgaming.com/downloads
I'm not sure that what Canonical can or can't do has much bearing on what others can or can't do. I also don't think that the number of employees means all that much. Very often, smaller teams can be more focused and able to accomplish more than larger teams.
How do you position yourselves against someone like https://www.contentful.com ? Seems like a similar product, though less targeted directly at Wordpress Devs.
I guess genetics are at play. For example, I have a genetic mutation that means I metabolise tricyclics much faster (and tricyclics block the reabsorption of serotonin and norepinephrine, much like SNRIs). Rate of metabolism would affect peak plasma concentrations and half life.

It's quite possible that similar mutations exist that affect SSRI metabolism.
> most users won't bother checking it

That's also zero effort, though.

I don't care if users aren't checking; I published the hash, so I'm covered. I am not liable for the behavior of random materials, even if they happen to be tampered versions of something I produced.

Even if you make a signed and certified installer, someone can turn it into a malicious unsigned one and people will install anyway. They will click through the UAC and that's that.

There is no benefit in the signing when the genuine program is being installed; there is no attack going on that the signing is protecting against. It's supposed to stop a counterfeit program.

If the goal is zero effort on the part of the user, then the scheme is doomed. The zero-effort user takes no interest in signing; he or she doesn't wonder "how come this dialog is coming up", they just click through it.

Someone who counterfeits programs and adds malware can evne do one better: they can wrap the program in their own installer which has a valid certificate of their own.

The whole thing is a racket. You can't trust an artifact just because it was signed by someone whose only virtue was that they forked out $$$ for a certificate. Everyone has money, from heinous scoundrel to sparkling saint.
> blame Congress for passing the laws that were allowing for such price increases and preventing competition

That would be weird, since Daraprim (the drug he hiked) was out of patent, anyone could make and sell it, and in fact a competitor did jut a couple of months later[1]. How was Congress preventing competition?

Tried again just now to use Remote File access from my Windows desktop to my Linux (Ubuntu) cloud VM. I'm using Helm, and if I do C-x C-f (helm-find-file) and then type /ssh:me@remote: it opens a new buffer called "C:/ssh:me@remote:".

There was a suggestion on a Reddit thread to use Dired instead: C-x d /ssh:me@remote: which I also tried. This appeared to get further but subsequently failed with the error "ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory".

So I figured I'd try launching Emacs from within a Git Bash prompt to see whether that would provide the extra commands it was looking for, and it failed to locate my dotfiles (must have a different $HOME in that context...). However, when I attempted to open a remote file it did actually prompt me for a password! ...but then the LDAP authentication failed after timing out.

I'm out of gumption for now, but hopefully that helps to illustrate why I still want to be able to SSH into a machine and launch Emacs from the terminal.
Yes, full GUI remote access with a Parsec username and password and local machine auth as well.
Wouldn’t large banks and other institutions be in favor of more regulations to deepen their moats?

I could see why they’d want to get rid of Volckler though, so the big I-banks can return to the serious pre-crisis trading revenues they were printing.

Just looking quickly at Goldman’s 2006 10K shows they had over $25B in trading revenue, compared to $5.6B from their traditional investment banking sleeve. I had no idea it was at that level, wow.
What does "drop-in replacement for WordPress" mean exactly?

At first I thought it meant I could maybe go to cosmicjs.com, enter a url and the username and password for my WordPress site, hit a button and have my site magically migrated to something that was 10x better.

But I guess what you actually mean is "WordPress clone" which doesn't seem as exciting.
Probably based on Subject name. It'd require a lot of money to verify that though (e.g. buying cert from another CA with the same name).
Airbnb expanded their offering to hotels (including boutiques and bed and breakfasts). According to them, they're seeing strong growth in this segment[0], which is probably related to your hypothesis: there's a group who aren't comfortable with the home-sharing model (or people who simply like hotels) and they're finding ways to serve those people.

The HotelTonight acquisition seems like it's a way to more rapidly scale their hotel inventory than anything else, although I suppose last-minute travel may simply be better served by hotels than home-sharing.

Of course they do, because we judge people based on what their names tell us about the environment they probably came from. If you have room in your schedule for one interview and you have to choose between "Mary Smith", "Sha'Quonda Jones", and "Bubba-Joe Hartford", you know damn well which one of them is getting your time.
True or not -- the report says that "two in five" part then it's definitely buried somewhere -- and in any case is not present as one of the main themes of the report. Which as a whole is quite bland and difficult to pick apart.

So sorry -- clickbait.
Being on facebook is like sticking your pant leg in a briarbush. It's random bits of window and content that just tries to cling to you. Nothing about it is fun or engaging. Instagram is quickly going that path as well.

That said, any bets that FB's user count will magically continue to increase quarter over quarter?
I think it takes 2-3 minutes to warm up. It's ready before I have my espresso packed. I know the instructions say to run the water a bit before brewing to clean the pipes of any colder water.

Great point on cup temp! That makes a huge difference if you want your coffee to stay warm.
It's not entirely clear what the power consumption is actually measuring. If it's not whole-system draw then it could be highly misleading. What is considered "CPU power" and what doesn't can vary (like does it include the memory controller? Or PCI-E controller? etc...)

Imagine standing in court explaining to a non-technical judge and jury how this "bridge" transforms the copyrighted work into two fully separated works rather than a single derivative work. Do think it would work?

Personally I think one has a better time arguing that kernel modules simply interface with the kernel rather than creating a derivative work, thus making any module independent from the license of the kernel. The case law around "interfacing" is conflicting, but at least a few cases has gone in favor of the accused.

That's a problem with a lot of doctors.

And that's not to slam them. They often treat a ton of different diseases, and a new drug launch isn't the highest priority for them. They'll eventually learn about it, so marketing is an attempt to accelerate that.
I completely agree that the questions that we choose to ask determine the knowledge that we get. This experiment is clearly situated within the positivist view of research.

However I don't think that invalidates the result, the whole point of randomization of people into the conditions (here the names) is to control for these latent variables like you've talked about (way of reading, mood, etc).

Are you critiquing randomization in general or this specific experiment?
It is important to realize that the T2 coprocessor is just an A10 cpu which didn't meet the binning criteria to be included in an iPhone 7 or 2018 iPad.

Hm not sure if it’s much cause for celebration for the HT team...they raised $130m and probably sold at max their last valuation. Employees aren’t going to make out with much and unclear if anyone is getting let go.

This seems like an odd question to be asking in a final interview - which the author themselves says will most likely be with the founders.
> I don't want to put words in their mouth, but I think it might be a bundle vs a la carte argument. For issues that tend towards short term treatments (eg a handful of antibiotic pills to mitigate the risk of wound infection) then you don't want to pay the same total price as someone who is treating some chronic condition.

Yeah this is what I meant. The article says that the Australian government offset the high cost of new Hep-C drugs by negotiating a flat rate of $7.5k per person per year for any Hep-C drugs, and then talks about the high cost of penicillin and epipens.

Nobody would use Netflix if the subscription fee had to account for films that cost billions in R&D and only 10 people were going to watch.
Will AirBnb stop harming our communities with illegal mini-hotels then?
I can see some hotels taking this approach, but it will come down to how Airbnb is ultimately looked at. If hotels ultimately come to the conclusion that Airbnb is here to stay, like it or not, leveraging it to fill last-minute supply may end up being their best option.
I'm not joking. That is in fact literally the increase in average house size

http://www.aei.org/publication/new-us-homes-today-are-1000-s...

You happen to be an outlier if you're living in a smaller house than your grandparents. Given that you're saying you're a STEM worker and that your grandparents were manual labourers, my guess is that they owned cheaper property and you live in a very urban area. Which has very different perks.
Oh God no. I absolutely loathe Airbnb and will not book a property with them. Does this mean I can no longer use HotelTonight too?
You mean there's an upper limit to performance benefits of increasing cache sizes. The more important comparison is between a desktop CPU and ARM mobile. You'll quickly notice performance parity when cache sizes are increased on the mobile CPUs. And also notice Qualcomm's 845 and earlier lagged Apple's CPUs in cache size.

The performance gains certainly plateau, but mobile caches weren't even trying to approach this limit, till now - explaining a big part of the performance gap between desktop and mobile

This came up frequently when I was in grad school. I doubt it is the right solution, especially for PhD students doing experimental work.

For disciplines where PhD students are mostly independent and funded via TAships (humanities, sometimes math or social science), a lot of their aggravation is due to university or department policies: how many classes does each person need to teach, how many students per section, how are the classes assigned, how is summer funding allocated, and so on. Collective bargaining could be an effective way to sort this out.

In the sciences, however, the model is very different: students are essentially apprenticed to one professor. If there are problems in that relationship, it's not clear to me how a union could successfully intervene since many of the disputes are both a) highly specialized and b) incredibly subjective. My PhD advisor, for example, sat on manuscripts forever. Could a union have forced him to provide timely, constructive comments on them? Probably not. Very few labs set explicit working-hour "quotas", which a union could regulate. Instead, there are productivity expectations: "this should just take an afternoon" and it's unclear how a union could ensure those are reasonable, especially for research stuff which, by definition, has never been done before! Finally, a lot of academia runs on reputation: recommendation letters are essential to get jobs, grants, and promotions. Even if there was an effective grievance procedure, it could get you through to a PhD--and then promptly doom your career.

The biggest change I would like see is a transition from students "belonging" to one PI towards a model where all of the faculty are invested in all of the students' success.

Management training would be good too. As a grad student and postdoc, you're judged on your ability to train the rats, run the reactions, or image the stars. This is how we pick faculty, and it's a surprisingly small chunk of the actual job, which is mostly people/grant management, with a lot of writing thrown in.
It probably never makes sense to build a computer. It’s normally more expensive and if something stops working, it can be hard to isolate the part at fault and RMA it. Buying a prebuilt PC with parts you know are compatible with your OS generally gives you a warranty so that you can simply bring it back instead of wasting more time and money fixing the issue yourself.

<edit> I’m surprised to learn how differing others’ experiences are, especially on the price of the overall system. When I bought my most recent desktop, I typed in the make and model of every part into PCPartPicker and learned that I would be saving over $100 by going pre-built.

There were some fair points made down thread about the PSU and mobo, which I hadn’t really considered. My RMA experiences with a few hard drives versus the exchange process at my local Micro Center (they swapped the whole thing out even though I was well past the return period) were night and day, and many of you must have had the opposite experience to take the stance that you did.

Regardless, I find it interesting how polarizing this issue is and I probably shouldn’t have written my original comment in such a provocative way (although it didn’t seem that way at the time). </edit>
I don't know the answer (or if there is a fully formed answer at this point), but I have heard the React team talk about this a bit.

Facebook internally has a MASSIVE number of components, and apparently a lot of them are using older APIs and older paradigms. Because React is ultimately by and for Facebook, they simply can't afford to make lare breaking changes, it's just not a realistic option. Everything they do has to have a good mostly-automatable path forward.

I don't know for sure how they will handle it, but I have a feeling it will be using the StrictMode stuff that they introduced a few versions ago. I'd wager they will have a way to enable concurrent react for a Component and the tree of children nodes, and will stick to the current implementation for everything that isn't compatible. This will let you enable the new features in only parts of your app that need it, or slowly migrate over to it and opt-in over time. And I believe I read somewhere that if a component runs happily in StrictMode that it's already concurrent-react ready (but please don't take that as fact!).

Uh, you don't need 240V at all. With 120VAC an electric kettle takes half the time of a traditional kettle to boil water. It also shuts off automatically, so no annoying whistling.

i use a kruve with sizes 1100 and 400 filters, grind handground to size 6 twice, and get all three size grinds at the same time.
Yeah, software takes more ram, so when your ram is full your computer is slowed (because it probably doesn't need only 100% if your ram), therefore you buy more ram. Now guess what? your ram is not at 100% anymore, your unused memory is wasted anyway, so why not use it?

Repeat the cycle.
I gave upspin (the project that started at Google) a go but I found it a bit buggy. My dream with be to have $HOME be available in multiple machines, so that I can log in, start my text editor, my terminals, and everything in between, and they all pick the right configuration. If anyone is aware of such project or would like to build one, please let me know.

Of course, it must be more than just rsync, and it needs to be smart about file downloads, caching when necessary, but also not bloating machines when one is only curious in a subset.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, should ideally be open source.
Cloudflare is a CDN so they're designed for high-availability with over 100+ datacenters.

I graduated college around the time safe spaces and the like were starting to become "a thing". I'm glad I went to a state school in BFE. We (and some of our professors) at least were able to openly mock a lot of the less than ideal "cultural developments" that have happened at universities and colleges that the author has to take seriously in his workplace.

While it's a clear rule under the requirements of your Clearance, I think it's about time this one is relaxed. Not to mention, depending on the clearing authority and whom manages the clearance, there are waivers for everything.

Until we have a national ruling on pot, we're going to keep running up against this more and more.

I'm not standing on one side or another, just pointing out that this isn't the first and won't be the last. Do we really need to focus on pot usage or should we pay attention to far greater issues, is all.
> gerrymandering is utterly irrelevant to those outcomes.

You're correct that at the first order gerrymandering is irrelevant to the Senate and Presidency. Gerrymandering comes into play as a second-order effect, though; when used at the state level, it can cause state legislatures to effectively lock to a party. These state legislatures can then make changes to the way voting is organized in their state, enfranchising and disenfranchising voters in ways that support their party, and funding/defunding polling districts per the same. This has an effect that can be plenty large enough to swing statewide elections: see the last election's shenanigans in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida if you're in doubt.
My comment explicitly mentioned yachts if you read it.
I feel that this low-level performance stuff should exist in browser-land and not in framework-land. Kudos to React for finding a good implementation though
Agree. But the presumption is that eventually, cache management algorithms will reach parity with the competition/bleeding edge. Any and all parameters that can be tweaked will be. All top CPU arch companies hire from the same pool of PhDs/M.S' from top schools, after-all.

Performance commoditization is truly upon us. ARM v.s. x86 is quite literally a battle of existing software binary support. Things like WASM and JIT will further obviate the need to worry about ISAs when making product design choices. As of 2019, you can't go wrong picking an ARM based design, given you picked a SOC with sufficient cache, etc. that your use case demands.

Got any data to back that up?

My anecdotal understanding was that HotelTonight was doing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Some component of that $130m may have been secondary stock sale.

I don't think we have enough data to determine what the price might have been, or how well employees will do.

I'll contradict you in good humor on the Chemex if only to say that it's just a very nice multi-cup drip option. The heavy filters seem to slow down brewing a bit but I've always gotten really tasty, strong coffee out of my Chemex, and it's a very lovely object and surprisingly easy to keep clean. But you're right that it's not significantly different and takes up more space.
