Excellent post! I didn’t quite understand why MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=2 outperforms this solution (slightly) and what are the trade-offs exactly ... can anyone shed more light on this?
Does Google own the rights necessary to radio frequencies to do 5g? That seems like the major blocker.

Better coffee than at Starbucks is extremely low bar. Any espresso machine with good quality beans will do better than starbucks because they use low grade beans (and mostly roasted to death). Unless US starbucks is somehow very differen from the european one.

I have yet to hear a convincing argument for "resurrecting" the woolly mammoth. The entire enterprise seems to be an abominably cruel and misspent effort.

I've heard some argue we might need to resurrect a lot of species we're killing off in the next 100 years, so it's good practice. Better practice would be looking at those animals we expect to go extinct. Or, yanno, trying to stop the extinction in the first place.
It did have a positive impact though because AT&T and Verizon started actually building out their fiber networks more aggressively when they saw google entering the space. I live in Orange County, CA and AT&T out here started building out fiber when they saw Google building in Irvine, CA. AT&T knows that if they could just "rope off" google to a small area then their initial investment wouldn't really be worth it.
Keep in mind that access to information is one just one component of education. Curation of information is just as important.

One of the things that sets a good bookstore apart from a bad bookstore is their curation of their inventory. One of the thing that sets a good school apart from a bad one is their curation of classes and instructors. Hell, curation is the most valuable service a non-information related store provides.

I don't think this really applies in this case -- Amazon happily sells lots of books that are full of crap; they have every book by Trudeau, and I lose a little respect for any bookseller that carries a one of them.

But in general, I think the focus on access to information sometimes makes people forget the value of curation.
Bullshit. A book is just ideas that have been written down.

And the argument that buying it on Amazon gives it more credibility is so ridiculous that I actually laughed out loud.
While ads may cost you 10% of your users, it may also be responsible for up to 100% of your revenue.
You don't need much technical analysis here. Shallow trenches break more easily, leading to higher maintenance costs. 2 inches is nothing.
The latter is pretty much the Swedish model, by the way.

It makes sense. Fibre optic cable is mostly a solved solution, just like copper wire for electricity and pipes for gas, water and sewage.

A decent number of eBooks are available DRM-Free (although I wish it were more common). If we were discussing DRM-Free eBooks exclusively, would that change your opinion?

Edit: I will add—as long as I end up with a DRM Free file, I don't personally care if the file came that way or not. But, to the extent that DRM Removal requires effort, I will consider that opportunity cost in addition to the price when deciding whether to purchase something.

Nearly all movies and TV shows I watch were purchased through iTunes, because TunesKit makes the DRM trivial to remove.
The author never made clear if they are measuring virtual memory usage, or physical memory usage. Having a lot of virtual memory does not "cost" much: it's just having permission to use a lot of memory if you so wish. It's possible to have huge chunks of your virtual address space with no physical memory backing them. Physical memory is the amount of physical RAM your process is using.

Memory managers tend to greedily request a lot of virtual memory because there's usually little harm in doing so, and the act of asking the kernel for more permission (read: more virtual memory) is slow.

Minor quibble: it's not accurate to call `malloc()` and family in glibc the "operating system's memory allocator." That is the memory allocator for C, and Ruby just so happens to be implemented in C. The glibc allocator will use the system calls `brk()`, `sbrk()` and/or `mmap()` to request memory from the kernel (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/brk.2.html; http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mmap.2.html). Nothing really changes per the punchline.

I think you're confused.

Explosion in the early 90s != everybody used them in the early 90s.

Explosion = the industry got traction / was kickstarted and kept on going and going.

Just as in the chart.

As contrasted with VR which in 90-92 there was a huge hype, and it got nowhere, people forgot about it, and it was resurrected 10-15 years later.

>You: no I was right the first time, look at this graph which shows an exponential increase in use in the early 2000's.

Err, the graph starts around 1988 -- and the "increase" is sustained from then until the end of the graph (and probably still today).
Isn't that what cities, states, and countries are in an abstract sense? They are randomized trials of different systems of law and government, and so on.

It's much messier when it's accidental, but ... wouldn't it be smart for say, new state propositions in California to be tested in a trial to verify they produce the consequence voters asked for?

Amazon sees a unique opportunity to capture lots of market share and needs a way to build a sustainable business. (Aka takeover the market and raise prices) Amazon’s profit story is all about services.

Big box stores are kind of screwed because they overextended on debt and used financing schemes that front-load tax benefits and create problems down the road unless you always grow.

Please keep it civil. Hacker News is not the place for put downs, two of which you've included in your short response.
Why not both efforts? Let's try stop the extinction but let's also face the reality that there are a lot of forces working against that effort so maybe a little practice is good?
Downvote all you want but this is why Verizon stopped rolling fiber out and why Google Fiber fails in most places. It doesn't make financial sense to hard wire every house with fiber when you can get higher speeds (20 Gps) over the air with the next generation of wireless technology. It will be cheaper to deploy and will have far broader reach.
Then every website in the world censors information by filtering out spam. Why does nobody weep for the poor spammers who just want to sell you cheap Viagra? No doubt Amazon has been "censoring" their reviews in this way since the beginning. Where's the outrage?

I would say that there are a range of companies that are to different mixes of being ruled by accounting vs ruled by innovation. Ironically, I would say the companies most ruled by accounting are the ones with the best foundational resources to make targeted innovation bets (but don't because the ROI doesn't pencil out...).

The paper trail is not so wonderful.

What we saw in 2016 was that even if a candidate were to contest a result, none of the election committees were willing to commit to a full hand recount; instead, the only options were to retabulate through the very same tabulation processes and machines that had produced the questionable results in the first place.

Without low barrier to recount by hand, the electronic systems production of paper trails is worthless. Arguably worse than worthless, because it leaves everyone thinking there is a usable backup, when there isn't.

If the compiler was compromised, how do you know the vetted image is correct? If the hardware was compromised, then the software will still hash to the correct value. And once the attacker knows where you're getting the dedicated hardware for the hash, he can compromise that as well.

And the entire system relies on the people implementing it to not have been compromised. Because if they were, if the government itself compromised the machines, the voters could never tell. How good is a voting system that only works if your government is honest?

I do think the significance of this is cities realizing there is no Disney prince riding in on a white horse to save them, and taking their own futures into their own hands. I'm hoping there's enough "anchor cities/regions", like Nashville/RTP/Kansas City, that have contingency plans and referendums ready for an infrastructure push at the local level if Fiber pulls out there, to prevent all white-collar talent from drifting towards the coasts and leave a complete vacuum everywhere else. It'll take a lot of organization, money, guile, and community trust to push through ISP brainwashing, but the cities that succeed will hopefully become the few "shining cities on a hill" that could save an entire state from economic irrelevance. Hopefully, when the pendulum swings the other way on urban centralization, they'll emerge as good alternatives to raise children, work remotely, and live a good life.

My reason to choose the A15 was because it was shown on the WD performance slide with a performance that's close to the SweRV.

The target use cases of the SweRV are obviously very different from the A15 (lack of MMU, lack of Dcache, lack of floating point will indeed do that).

But I didn't expect that adding these features would have a significant impact on peak performance of a benchmark that can fit completely in a cache?

My comment about complexity is entirely about the core execution pipeline: OoO vs in-order, number of pipes, number of ALUs. Even there, the A15 is significantly more complex than the SweRV, yet it performs more or less the same in best case circumstances. I expected at least some benefits? Since that is not the case, I assume that this complexity helps for non-ideal use cases (which the SweRV will probably never experience.)

Edit: as _chris_ points out: OoO helps when you start missing the L1 hits.
>If your Toyota malfunctions and you hit someone, you get sued. You may sue Toyota afterwards, but you're going to get sued first.

You extrapolating that future markets will work exactly like the past, because "its a car".

But its doubtful it will. The reason why the auto industry evolved the way it did (driver gets sued), is because 90+% of the time it is operator error.

Look at another example. Kraft distributes 10M packages of poisoned cheese, what happens: (a) All the local grocery stores get sued? or (b) Does Kraft get sued?

Obviously "B" would be the case, since the local grocery stores would say: "We had no way to test the cheese for poison, it was pre-packaged from Kraft"

This is very similar to what would happen in a 100% autonomous vehicle situation. The owner doesn't have access nor the capability to judge the engineering / code.

>Toyota recalled thousands of trucks about 3 months

Not the same. Toyota doing a recall to replace a $200 part doesn't come close to the potential liability that a autonomous manufacturer that had thousands of accidents...each potentially costing millions each.

>Even if insurance were the issue, it's fairly easy to solve; in the contract you sign to use an automated vehicle, you'd assume liability.

Yes, and the trucking companies will just say: No

Their insurance rates would skyrocket so high, that it would be cheaper to just continue to use human drivers.
The electric grid is a public service. In Europe the actual wires are owned and maintained by a state company. Private companies compete by 'delivering' the actual energy.

Lets imagine the wires and delivering is all in the hands of one profit maximizing company. Because of their monopoly they increase prices every year, offer services like TV for free (to kill TV companies) and then start selling TV as well.

So yes, FB should really go down and be replaced with something else. Maybe governement owned infrastructure. They could then see everything, a difficult privacy problem, but I am pretty sure they do now already anyway.
We need a more nuanced conversation that "spying tools".

Developers creating software should see that 80% of people can't finish filling in a form or that 80% of people click on something that isn't supposed to be clickable. That way they can identify UX bugs and improve the product.

Sure, asking users to opt-in to telemetry for improving the product is a best practice.

Are developers trying to improve the product, or are you just collecting data to sell to 3rd parties? Big difference.

Fiber offers better reliability, lower latency, higher bandwidth (right now), and it can be reused for even higher bandwidth later (e.g. 1 Gbps fiber can handle 10 Gbps with new transceivers on the same run).

I don't think Hanlon's razor should be applied to multi-billion dollar corporate persons. Private individuals, even small to medium sized institutions with limited resources and unproven levels of competence, are fair applicants to Hanlon.

But a) Boeing is typically a hyper competent corporate person, having executed massive, multi-decade engineering projects that have been largely successful, and b) regardless of (a), the disappearance of a very specific piece of technical evidence while in the possession of the potentially liable party, while the rest of the evidence is successfully delivered, is not adequately explained by incompetence.

I have a strong feeling that not all ads/strategies will have the same result.

I enjoy a large number of the ads that are shown to me on instagram and facebook, and have actually bought things from them. They're easy to skip or ignore. I'm not sure I'd use Facebook as much as I do if I didn't get some value out of the ads.

But 30 second ads for penis enlargement pills every minute while playing a free puzzle game? I'm never coming back.

I'd love to see a paper along the lines of the ones linked in the twitter thread in the OP that tries to control for the annoyingness/intrusiveness of the ad, the number of the ads, the relevancy of the ad, and some kind of personal touch of the ad. Admittedly, I didn't click through to the papers in the OP, so I'm not sure if this already exists.

I call bullshit.

In my country child vaccination is mandated by law (parent may be cited if they don't do it, citations are handed very reluctantly, sometimes not at all).

What recently happened (Nov 2018) was small measles outbreak - MMR vaccine sold out so fast extra emergency shipments were made to pharmacies.
When thinking about voting by mail I wouldn't consider North Carolina's system as exemplar, since it is still primarily a polling-place election. Instead, look towards Washington, Oregon, and Colorado which are states where elections are entirely by mail. Evidence of coercion or fraud is low, and engagement is high.

The "wireless competing with broadband" thing is mostly ISPs trying to claim that the two services compete with each other in order to claim that they have more competitors than they do.

Wireless is slower, has higher latency, is less reliable (interference/obstructions), etc. But you can put in one tower and service every customer for miles under those conditions, which is much cheaper than wiring every building.

It's possible to address those problems with wireless, but the way to do it makes the wireless network look like the wired one. Instead of one tower serving many people, you have very many towers each serving a small number of people. But then the cost benefit evaporates. You need a tower on every street corner which has to be wired with fiber.

At that point you might as well just hook the existing phone or cable wires already going into everyone's houses into that box on the end of the street in order to get the last few meters, and save yourself a few billion dollars in wireless spectrum.
> It is not panicking or freaking out to err on the side of caution and ground flights.

It can be, though.

There is a risk inherent to air travel. The safest thing to do would be to ground all flights of all aircraft permanently.

That wouldn't be prudent, though, because we can mitigate the risk until the benefit of air travel outweighs the risk of dying during air travel.

The prudent thing to do is to carefully evaluate the risks, and make a determination when the risks become too great.
That is a very broad definition, of course. Am I engaging in censorship by selecting only a small handful of books to have in my home?

Statistically fewer incidents. Greater scale of tragedy, emotionally.

Though there are entire branches of fields that use statistics to mitigate risk, probabilities are tricky things. I found this interesting read a few days ago https://aeon.co/ideas/the-concept-of-probability-is-not-as-s... and it seems to have some overlap here.

How are we calculating "safety" when it comes to transportation. I'm not sure that air transportation is less safe than other forms, but I wanted to pass this along as support for some sort of skepticism.
The first accident involving a 737 occurred more than 4 years after introduction. This is 2 fatal crashes in the first year with only a few hundred aircraft delivered.
