His manifesto isn't even worth thinking about. Why I mentioned it? I give the benefit of the doubt because Ted Kaczynski one was even mentioned on hacker news and influenced the tech scene. But its not even 1% of that level.
This clearly wasn't designed by telephony people. It's very web-like. The authentication info is bigger than the call data required to set up a call.

Mostly this is for VOIP. Telcos with TDM or CDMA transmission have serious backwards compatibility problems. Ones who peer only with SS7 have problems but those can probably be overcome.

One big problem is that there are off-brand telcos who specialize in services for call centers. "The Dialer Hardware is being hosted in our premises at Los Angeles - USA, where we have our own switch and termination facility with over 100 Carriers. We also have a redundant switch in New York connected to LA through a fat Fibre pipe."[1] Do those guys get to sign calls? Or what?

I agree. However, if I want to be able to refer to them afterwards, I really need to take electronic notes.
This looks great! Thank you
Lol, I've noticed this as well.

Also it seems to use a very slow random number generator because it always takes a long time to populate the random list.

So stupid.

There's people doing that all over the place. There's people getting funded on all sorts of crap. Why don't we get them all and make documentaries on them ? Is Silicon Valley better than Wall Street ? I doubt it.

The way Holmes was convicted almost seemed like a witch-hunt. Who cares if she married some older dude or doesn't blink or tried to speak in a lower tone ? I speak in lower tone to intimidate people. I do it because I'm an asian dude and my voice has a higher pitch than usual.

Travis Kalanick roamed around with prostitutes, bribed and did all sorts of seedy things at the height of Uber's fame. Can we have a documentary on him please ? Can we get Jim Carrey to play him in a movie ? No ? Why not ? How many countries is Uber in ?

I honestly don't care if she defrauded the investors or told a million lies, I know a witch-hunt when I see one. I'm no politician. I prefer to side with my own kind. As a technologist my only real question is, did her product work ? Why not ? Could it be made better ?

One of the lighter stories that I enjoyed:

> CCU, night shift: A house painter who cut himself now has full-blown tetanus and is on a ventilator. We have paralyzed his diaphragm with curare to override the muscle spasms, and so we must fog his mind with a cocktail of drugs. We take excellent care of his body and read to him when we can. If the unit gets busy we play audiotapes for him, mostly about American history. Weeks later when the tetanus has run its course and we wake him up, he is convinced that FDR is president. Otherwise, he is fine.

Economics Research Paper Topics and Ideas
This looks very similar to preact router.
Glad to see this at the top, agree 100%. I’m definitely going to copy some of OP’s setting and snippets, but not for real time use during a lecture.

A textbook is an infinitely better reference than any notes one could take in class. Read the damn book. Lecture time should be for asking questions when you have a freaking live expert professor literally presenting the material to you. Ask all the small, nuanced questions that you can think of in the moment, which you can’t find answers to easily online or in the book.

Not to downplay the efficient workflow here, but there is zero chance that this person’s notes are actually better than a real textbook.
Visa reciprocity agreements are made at a high enough level that I don't see it being farmed out to low level bureaucrats. Besides it would have to be low level bureaucrats who actually travel.
Why would they charge per hour or per megabyte? That reduces stickiness. Much more likely is that they'll just get a cut of the game developers' sales, just like the game console vendors do. They'll set the cut so that the net profit pencils out over the long term.
I recently implemented home grown routing in one of my apps - and was surpised to see that it was about 30 lines of simple code. You don't really need to tie yourself to a third party lib and risk future upgrades. Wrote about it here: https://medium.com/p/9e2c7b036b0
> Integer Overflow is undefined behavior in C

Signed overflow is undefined behavior, unsigned overflow is defined in both C/C++.

Apart from that, I agree with you. It has to do with the fact that OP is using 128-bit variables on a 64-bit architecture.

Come to think of it, it's actually more mesmerizing that x86 is not slowed down by a 128-bit variable. The ARM architecture is behaving as is to be expected, Intel is actually the odd one out.

Someone mentioned cryptography, I can imagine that because of it, Intel has a few instructions to optimize integer arithmetic on wider integers, and that is probably the reason of the anomaly, which is actually Intel and not ARM.
As someone who works with both React and VueJS on a daily basis, I find Vue Router to be much MUCH easier to work with, well documented and is really straightforward. Most importantly - It's an official package from VueJS core team and not a third party, so it's pretty much worry-free.
I agree with the title - we do need an alternative web, but not the kind the author wants. We need an alternative web that has less censorship and regulation. The current internet is turning more and more into TV.
I've heard requests for proposals (RFPs) in Washington will often be specified so that only a single vendor could meet the requirements. Is that what happened here, where the Pentagon's Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) RFP depended on implementation details of AWS?

And to a larger point, can anyone elaborate on whether what I've heard is true? Has litigation or sunlight through advocacy against the government worked in those cases?
That does sound terrible. US has the global entry and other such thing for TSA to expedite entry. But at least they had enough common sense not to call it "blue" or "orange" other colored passport.

But I like the idea in general. I wish it would happen for all the things they make laws about - public housing, education, medical care etc.
I'd be curious to hear the argument there. I'm not sure that's "clear" at all. In fact virtually every mass murder or terrorism case I can think of has been perpetrated by men either almost entirely isolated or thoroughly immersed some kind of group think monoculture (either online or physical). Virtually no one comes out of a "local community" and starts killing people to further its interests, unless you define terrorist training camps as a local community.

I mean, Harris and Klebold weren't exactly doing what they thought suburban Colorado wanted.

My wife and I don’t use Facebook or Instagram. When we have children I plan to setup an email account for them. I’ll document their life by sending them photos and messages as they grow up. If something ever happens to me they’ll know how much I cared about them. When they’re old enough they can choose what parts of their childhood they want shared with the public.
FYI: masturbation can also work, probably due to the same principle.
You've never met anyone in real life that is annoyed by cookie pop ups? I find that hard to believe.
I've never been a fan of React Router (mostly I don't get why defining routes with components is a good thing) and have been pleasantly surprised with how well Curi (https://curi.js.org/) works. It's nice to see it's not completely tied to a JS framework.
I believe this is the correct frequentist interpretation. To quote wikipedia:

> A 95% confidence level does not mean that for a given realized interval there is a 95% probability that the population parameter lies within the interval (i.e., a 95% probability that the interval covers the population parameter).[10] According to the strict frequentist interpretation, once an interval is calculated, this interval either covers the parameter value or it does not; it is no longer a matter of probability.
Whether you're a kid or not depends on whether you have a stable income and take responsibility for yourself and others. I know 40-year-old kids and 17-year-old men.

Edit: Since I've been called out as sexist, I should note that I apply this equally to women. I've likewise met 40-year-old girls and 17-year-old women, and the difference between them is the same: The capability to earn a stable income and take responsibility for themselves and others.

Sometimes being part of a partnership means you focus on internal rather than external roles: Supporting the family instead of earning an income. Who does what is then negotiable within the family, and that's OK.
I have a Shuttle PC from 2003 with heat pipe cooling. For about 10 years, they made machines with a heat pipe system to transfer heat from the CPU chip surface to a finned plate at the back of the box behind the fan, allowing a more compact package.

But for an LED? Come on.

The cutting edge technology in LED lighting is to use power supplies that don't need electrolytic capacitors. The capacitor usually fails long before the LED.

You have given no reason to believe this.
> he almost-always-false test gets correctly predicted as false, speculative execution chooses the correct branch without delay, and a few cycles later (but without visible delay) some simple math confirms that the correct branch was chosen.

So, why don't compilers do this already? Nothing stops them. The answer is that they lose a ton of performance.

There is a lot of housekeeping in order to keep track of speculative execution and it happens on every single mathematical operation in your regime. And you pay that continually for an operation that happens "very rarely" as you point out.

Overflow/underflow probably isn't so bad, but array bounds checks are very bad. You have at least one bound that is variable and so causes an extra "Compare to X" where X is a non-zero constant and so needs to be loaded. So your tight loops all look like "increment I; compare I to 0; compare I to X; do real work" That's two extra instructions that the speculative execution system has to keep track of every loop and it eats a lot of the speculative execution resources very quickly.

An in-order chip like the 21164 doesn't execute the loops any faster, but it doesn't have to pay hardware chip area because of speculative execution. Given that everything is moving to high multi-core, it would be better to let a stuck core give way to another quickly than to try speculate deeper--especially as SSDs continue to increase in speed--and especially because, quite often in a battery operated world, your would rather shut down while waiting.

In addition, if you trap on these, it will break an enormous amount of software in existence. Look at how many people went absolutely ape over gcc suddenly doing aggressive optimizations on undefined behavior.

(And, by the way, every microprocessor used to compute underflow on arithmetic instructions (8080, Z80, 6800, etc.), so you need to ask why that went away.)
It creates more frustration. Going through that wizard annoys people. It particularly annoys people that speak languages that aren't very widely spread, because the language phones use isn't always easy to understand.
That's a great point. It's still a possible optimization with a compare-and-swap or if you can determine that you're in a single threaded context.
Instead of all these fancy technical counter-measures I think this really ought to be a matter of the law. Why not ban cold calls, like in Germany? Is there anyone on this planet who actually enjoys constant advertisement and harassment on their phone?

Using react router on one of my personal projects (~ 30k loc) was probably one of my largest regrets. At every turn it seemed designed to do the thing I wouldn’t expect, or have arbitrary restrictions that made my life tougher.

Some examples:

* there's no relative routes https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/2172

* there's no way to refresh the page https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/1982 ("that's your responsibility, not ours")

* The scroll position will stick when you navigate to a new route, causing you to need to create a custom component wrapper to manage scrolling https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/3950

* React router's <Link> do not allow you to link outside of the current site https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/1147 so you have to make an <a> in those cases. This doesn’t sound bad, but it’s particularly frustrating when dealing with dynamic or user generated content. Why can’t they handle this simple case?

* Navigating to the same page would not actually reload the page, it would just trigger a componentDidMount() on all components in the page again, which led me to have a lot of bugs when I did some initialization in my constructor
You write "if there’s no real safety issues". The article says there have indeed been safety issues.

I did the same thing when I was in uni. Couple of my profs asked for my notes so they can make class notes for next year. I also did all of my math assignments this way and it was so easy copying stuff from the notes and working with it without erasing and compromising on space. I could break down every algebraic step for maximum clarity.
Asus Vivobook F510UA here, same report: 6+ hours on Ubuntu MATE 18.10. Runs perfect out of the box, sans fingerprint support. Great machine if you add the M.2 SSD and more RAM.

From what I've read, fingerprint support for the hardware is still experimental but should be working soon.
Yes, frustration over a question, because they don't understand why they need to do this complicated stuff "just to access the internet".
Congratulations on launching! Your website looks very neat. Some questions before using:

What kind of data issues are you able to detect?

What data formats are you accepting?

Is there a limit for data set size?
I migrated away from react-router because from v3 to v4 broke everything that made sense. Things became wildly more complicated.

I'm now extremely happy with my new router of choice router5 (not to be confused with React Router 5) https://router5.js.org.
My experience is different - I've often seen employers be ridiculously "penny smart and pound foolish", saving $50 here and $100 there at the expense of hours and hours a week wasted.

The author refers to a decentralized web, which cannot be controlled by any individual, state, or corporation. I think this implies less censorship and regulation.

As mentioned upthread, the mermerizing instruction in question is "MUL", which debuted in 1978 on the 8086 and, except for register width, behaves identically today.
It's still spot-on today, except perhaps s/Microsoft/Google/g (fully-encrypted Gmail comes to mind).
How is it that countries with both high restaurant wages and no tipping (eg, $20/hour for McD's in Denmark) still have restaurants?

Given that, I can't help but think there's something wrong with the analysis. I have no domain expertise to tell what it might be.
a) You should warn people about the content of the website when you post such material. People of all ages view this website.
b) I'm sure this violates the usage of the website.
Whoever downvoted. Maybe you could leave a comment in support of the title so I can understand your point of view? Or at least a counter to my comment.
I think the biggest drag will be running the simulator. You can go to the Mac store and try it out. I am wrote an app on vm and that was much slower.
Udacity SDC alum here as well and this looks awesome. I'm tempted to buy one after reading about DIYRoboCars. I've been thinking about porting openpilot to my Jetson TX2 but have been reluctant since I have no way to test it. DeepRacer seems much funner and safer. I wonder how hackable the car will be. How hard would it be to set up a remote ROS nodes rather using AWS services?
That looks very, very similar to router5. Anything about it that stands out as better in Curi?
I had all my filters stop working about 5 or 6 months ago. I had to remove them all. New ones made exactly the same worked fine, but since I don't trust them now, I don't have any filters any more.

No idea how it broke, but I guess it's a matter of software upgrades without the requisite data migration. Google's data composition is very complex so I can see this happening from time to time.
People have already tried to reproduce results in humans, here is one such study:

You’re absolutely right.

This is where someone usually says we need a decentralized web. But I wonder if we’re wasting time waiting for some new technology to save us. I’ve been waiting at least a decade and have seen project after project fail. Maybe instead we should focus on building a network of alternative, pro-liberty sites and apps using existing technology.

> The 60 fps mark isn't really latency related. Instead, at 60 fps animation without motion blur feels smooth. At 30 fps you need motion blur or it feels like it stutters (and in 24hz cinema the camera produces natural motion blur due to shutter time).

After using 120/144hz monitors for a while 60 fps without motion blur doesn't feel smooth at all.

60 fps mark is really just because that's all LCDs could do for the longest of time. It has nothing to do with anything human vision related, it was just the long-standing technological limitation of displays.
> I've heard requests for proposals (RFPs) in Washington will often be specified so that only a single vendor could meet the requirements.

The usual term for this is "single-sourcing", and it applies to much more than vendor selection in RFPs. You can single-source materials, vendors, locations, or anything else, and it's routinely done in legislation.
I felt the same regret after each major upgrade where it seemed as breaking versions were due to unnecessary superficial API changes (which also left behind a trail of outdated docs/examples).

Ended up sticking through it as it appeared to be the default Router for React. It looks like there's some options now, so I'll consider moving if I have to suffer through another major breaking change.

That is not a excuse for imposing mandatory birth control or sterilisation, and will become less and less pertinent as we pass through this extinction event and all the humans end up dead anyway.

As the environmental disaster gets worse, we will end up sacrificing more species in the pursuit of safety for our own. We might mourn the necessary sacrifice in passing, but ultimately the surviving humans will justify everything in the name of one more day.
Apparently it was never meant to be a major bump, but they were forced to do it because of a semver screwup between their own packages.

I used to do this, but I switched to just using a Jupyter Notebook. It’s nice to be able to move between multiple computers, with no need to set up a LaTeX install.

A couple of things I love about this setup:

I can write in Markdown and drop to LaTeX when I need to forumalate any equations.

For homework, I can implement a quick Python script inline to build intuition behind a topic.

I can use Sympy to simplify and solve for more complex derivations. This outputs LaTeX which I can paste into the requisite Markdown cell.

With Plotly, I can quickly create a nice 2D or 3D visualization.

As much as I like to consider myself a pro-freedom, anti-censorship type of person, articles such as this one rarely fail to amuse me. As long as the system of payoffs stays unchanged, the end result is inevitably going to be the same, and if the decentralized web does change the system of payoffs, there might be no incentives to motivate development and adoption of such a d-web beyond a small number of technically adept people. How many times have there been calls and widespread memes to abandon Facebook [remember Diaspora?], and yet it's still there.

It's all not doom and gloom, but what society desperately needs is to stop producing/consuming pointless articles such as this one or idiocy like "We should break up Google and Amazon" [Oh yeah? Go ahead and break them up them, I'll watch. Will you be selling tickets?], and to start performing _real_ economic and game-theoretic analysis of possible alternatives.
Devices that require apps to use are infuriating. I recently got a bose soundbar and subwoofer and the instructions tell you to install the app so you can connect the subwoofer to the soundbar. I don't have any devices that can run the bose app...
