I think right now Oculus is more focused on bringing VR to a wider market than they are on pushing specs. If you look at it from that perspective, the Rift S is a _massive_ improvement. No need to mess with sensors during setup; just plug and play.

And it's not like they've abandoned R&D into higher-end tech. It's just that resolution and FOV improvements are bottlenecked by modern GPUs. To overcome that bottleneck will require a breakthrough in foveated rendering technology; which Oculus is working on but hasn't achieved yet. (I believe Michael Abrash, the chief scientist at Oculus, estimated it'll take them another ~4 years to get the technology to the point where it's ready for mainstream consumer use.)

I still think meat vs not meat is the wrong approach when addressing the climate: is eating a chicken you raised on your land worse for the environment than consuming the equivalent number of calories from fruits and vegetables imported from another continent? My hunch is no. You can be an environmentally conscious omnivore or an not-so environmentally conscious herbavore. The meatiness of what you eat has absolutely nothing to do, necessarily, with your actual environmental impact.

The ethical issues of consuming animals are another can of worms.

We have zoning laws for a reason. AirBnB is encouraging people to break those laws. It's no different than anyone running a business in a residential zoned area. Do people run small businesses out of their houses? Sure, all the time and technically they're breaking the law. But the main question to ask is are they impacting those around them? For AirBnB that answer is clearly yes. It disrupts the rights of the existing neighbors that are abiding by zoning laws. Just like you can't live in a store front, we can't have people just doing whatever they want because "eh fuck em I own this"... no, you kinda don't. You rent the land from the government and there are laws you are bound by when entering in that agreement. We're trying to have a society here.

I'm no attorney but to me it's pretty clear that AirBnB shouldn't be allowed to exist as a business the way it stands today. It's incredible they've made it this far.

I'd love to hear some concrete rebuttal as to why what they're doing is OK besides the "less government/regulation" angle.
Autopilot can automatically record all incidents and then upload them to Tesla, with obfuscation and by user permit, to improve autopilot software. Tight feedback loop is much better for AI, IMHO.
Why is charging while using a feature even worth mentioning? AirPods gain 3 hours of battery life (listening time) with 15 minutes of charging in the case, vs. 5 hours of total battery life between charges. That's very little difference, and if you're doing something important where interruptions are unacceptable (like a phone/video call), you can always charge one AirPod at a time in the case (they both have microphones). In practice I just don't find it hard to believe that very many people would ever need or even use the "charge while using" feature.

Correlations in finance tend to be unstable. Take two equity stocks in the same sector and one year the correlation could be 0.8 and another year it could be 0.3. Obviously, there are relationships between rates, cost of equity, debt, etc. As Howard Marks says, “the seven worst words in investing are ‘too much money chasing too few deals’” So I think a better question to ask then what are the correlations between these assets is to ask “what’s driving CLO issuance, and is that sustainable?”
Article is very light on details, and contains zero citations, and only a single result of a single benchmark the guy ran, with no details of how it was run. It follows up by stating his theory as to why this happens as a fact (again with no citations). Author does not even offer us a clue as to what ARM core is used. The claim is:

> The difference is that the computation
> of the most significant bits of a
> 64-bit product on an ARM processor
> requires a separate and expensive
> instruction.

I see no proof of this anywhere in the ARMv8 spec. You get the lower 64 bits of result using MUL and higher 64 bits using UMULH. Neither of those is that expensive.

Looking at [1] we can see that MUL has throughput of 1 and latency of 3, UMULH has 1/4 and 6, but as long as you do not issue another multiply just after your UMULH, this 1/4 throughput is easily hidden, since only the multiplier is busy, the rest of the CPU can go on. So unless your entire loop is under 6 cycles, or you simply have no instructions to schedule that do not need a multiply within the next 3 of UMULH, it shouldn't matter. Given those large constants that need to be loaded, they will each need 4 instrs (mov+movk+movk+movk), there are plenty of instrs to schedule after UMULH. Either OP's compiler messed up, or something entirely different is going on.

If, the author was using a weaker in-order core, say Cortex-A55, still more performance is expected than appears demonstrated. There [2] the low part is calculated in 2 or 3 cycles, the high in 4. But comparing an ARM in-order little core to a modern OoO x86 is just not fair.

EDIT: Indeed, looking [3] at what gcc produces for this code is sad. For example, why it is bothering synthesizing 0x1b03738712fad5c9 before issuing the first UMULH is unclear, but it IS stupid.

EDIT2: on skylake [4] MUL has a latency of 3, so faster than on ARM but not by that much. I'd guess the constant loading on arm using 4 instructions per constant hurts more than UMULH

EDIT3: in comments on original site, author said the ARM chip being used is a "Skylark" by "Ampere Computing" [5]. Given that I cannot find any info on that microarchitecture, I cannot say more about why it might be slow.

I mostly use the msys bash that comes with git for windows in Hyper (a couple minor configs, but generally works well enough) or the VS Code terminal (same base). I do have most of what you mention setup beyond the git tools, a lot of it is transpiled for windows, though sometimes the path escaping gets annoying and there's a couple other windows isms.

I tend to use mac at home, windows at work, and linux via docker, ssh and/or VM for pretty much all targeted/test work.

I've had this happen twice in my career. In the first one, I gave my employer the option of meeting the offer since I actually enjoyed the job. They said they can only pay within a specified range for each role, which is another way of saying there was no room for advancement. The other company clearly valued me more, so I walked. The second one, the company was being bought out, and I knew what it meant when I was asked to train the new company to do my job, so really it was a moot point, and I walked.

Your company will experience people coming and going all the time. Your responsibility is to you alone - you can't hurt a company's feelings.

If you want to advance... then advance. Otherwise some time down the road you might consider it a dead end gig and kick yourself for not moving onward and upward when the opportunities were falling into your lap.
In the case of 4chan, probably not easy to block everyone. They are on CloudFlare, so ISP's will mostly be limited to overriding DNS. The DNS servers on your ISP belong to them, so unless your ISP are doing something outright malicious, it is really up to them what sites they wish to block and they probably know you can't vote with your wallet unless you have plenty of ISP choices. I could be incorrect, so certainly read through your agreement with the ISP.

A decent method of side-stepping ISP DNS is to run Unbound DNS on your home router or a server in your home, if you can.

An example snippet from the configuration in Unbound DNS would look like this:

forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-addr: 1.1.1.1 # CloudFlare
forward-addr: 1.0.0.1 # CloudFlare
forward-addr: 8.8.8.8 # Google
forward-addr: 8.8.4.4 # Google
forward-addr: 208.67.222.222 # OpenDNS
forward-first: no

And you can view it's status with unbound-control:

unbound-control dump_infra | grep 1\.1\.1
1.1.1.1 . ttl 1745 ping 0 var 71 rtt 284 rto 284 tA 0 tAAAA 0 tother 0 ednsknown 1 edns 0 delay 0 lame dnssec 0 rec 0 A 0 other 0

This method of caching can also slightly improve the privacy of the people using your network. You get the bonus of a local low latency cache, and requests are distributed among multiple destinations, slightly reducing the marketing benefits of running those public DNS servers.

You can also enable TCP and TLS for recursive servers that support DoT (DNS over TLS). I prefer this over DoH, as everything in your home can benefit from it, not just your browser. Some of the servers mentioned above listen on TCP 853 for TLS. Just google "Unbound DNS TLS" There are some examples on Calomel as well. [1]

Here is an example snippet using TLS: (not the full config)

server:
delay-close: 200
do-tcp: yes
tcp-upstream: yes
cache-min-ttl: 300

forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-ssl-upstream: yes
forward-addr: 208.67.222.222@853
forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853
forward-addr: 8.8.4.4@853
forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853
forward-first: no

unbound-control dump_infra | cut -c 1-60 | column -t
9.9.9.9@853 . ttl 851 ping 6 var 84 rtt 342 rto 342 tA 0 tAA
8.8.4.4@853 . ttl 851 ping 13 var 79 rtt 329 rto 329 tA 0 tA
208.67.222.222@853 . ttl 844 ping 876 var 1823 rtt 8168 rto

And here [2] are a small list of public servers that support DoT

Youre responding to a thread about the New Zealand mosque attacks and the Office of Film and Literatures classification of this video as objectionable and expressing concern that this can be used for political purposes to quell dissenting political opinions, which I have explained why that can’t be used that way in NZ and you’re mistaken in your understanding of how censorship works in NZ. Now you say you’re concerned about censorship as a concept generally in far away historical and authoritarian regimes. These things do not follow and your concern has no relation to this thread. It’s borderline bait.

As I said: be specific.

You obviously won't talk about anything technical to do with the blockchain: how the consensus algorithm works and why you chose it, who sells the coins and why, why you need coins, what security guarantees it has, why having all nodes of a network sharing a copy of the same ledger and constantly engaging in a protocol to agree on the state of the ledger is at all a good idea, and so on and so on... You just want to argue with me a bit to muddle the waters so people side it's one side against another and the truth lies somewhere inbetween. Fact is, this project makes no sense.
I'd agree that many of the crazy HOA stories come from CA, they are common all over. Northern VA (metro DC) has them just about everywhere (at least anything built since the mid-70s).

But, most of those mid-70s neighborhoods have fairly light-weight rules... Some architecture review, but generally not the crazy "can't leave garage door open" or "potted plants must all be in pots 13.25" in diameter" stuff.

Link shorteners that don't support HTTPS
Since I set my browser's HTTPS Everywhere extension to "encrypt all sites eligible (EASE)" mode, I've noticed a problem with a number of popular sites that support HTTPS themselves, but use custom short links that do not. Two examples are the Huffington Post (http://huffp.st/) and Gizmodo (http://gizmo.do/). Both of these are link shortening services provided through trib.al (in turn run by a company called SocialFlow).

This frustrates me, since I have to allow an exception just for the redirect to go through, and I think it's irresponsible at this point for large sites to be using social media links that don't support HTTPS.

Or is this not a problem worth worrying about? I'm curious to hear the thoughts of more knowledgeable people. Thanks! (Also, my apologies if this specific topic has come up before.)

Your assertion makes zero sense even if we accept your thesis at face value. For example, it's absurd to leap from "society mut at least partially benefit" from private property to assert that private property not being used in compliance to your personal taste to be theft. That's just plain nuts from any angle.

Measuring the "content on the page" is hopelessly ambiguous and easy to scam.

Even trying to price just based on how many other ad networks there are is problematic. For each additional ad network the value of each ad goes down. Even adding a second one may cut the value more than in half compared to exclusivity, because if the user sees the other network's ads first and they don't appear relevant they may not even look at yours, and a user who sees a larger number of ads may not look closely at any of them.

If the price offered for any non-exclusive placement is more of a reduction over the price offered for exclusivity than the amount gained from the other ad network(s), how is that any different in practice than requiring exclusivity?

Although my failure to see an elephant on the table does not rule out completely that there could be an elephant there, it does limit the possible size of the elephant to a few micrometers. Failure to reject the null hypothesis does in fact provide evidence against the other possibilities, so long as "other possibilities" are understood to mean "other possibilities with big effects."

I don't see why a scientist at a conference who's saying that two groups are the same has to be heard as claiming, "we have measured every electron in their bodies and found that they have the same mass, forget about six sigma, we did it to infinity." Instead they could simply be understood to be saying that the two groups must be similar enough to not have ruled out the null hypothesis in their study.
