Still no card beats it in Apple spending category, which might be larger than gas /travel or dinning out for many Americans. So it will perfectly work for them. I probably will get it too - buying a new macbook for my daughter, upgrading my spouse's iphone and my apple watch this fall.
async/await in embedded is actually an interesting thing, that i also evaluated. I think it can't be an alternative to preemptive RTOS kernels, since the cooperative nature doesn't allow to process things within guaranteed deadlines. Therefore I think async/await might end up more as an add-on to RTOS: All time-critical things are run within independent RTOS tasks. And all the remaining and less critical stuff could potentially be run inside a single-threaded async/await scheduler.

While Rust seems to be promising here, I'm not sure whether the current async/await implementation will really allow for this. I experimented a bit with it, and found lots of issues where async/await lead to severe memory bloat (composing 3 async functions that do not a lot things requiring a 20kB task allocation). The compatibility with Futures and the requirement to move async fns to compose them before using them (which requires extra stack - which again ends up as extra heap/task memory) plays a bit against it. But these things are also worked on, so let's seee how it works out.
Learn Chicken Scheme in Y Minutes
There is a whole school of programming by now around not closing ones eyes to the actual hardware engineering - of course fought against by the church of moores law, who hoped to finally abstract away all those details into virtual machines. And they wouldt have got away with it too, if it were not for those plateauing speed gains.

"The Cicero Institute promises to fight for the business opportunities of entrepreneurs by focusing on deregulation, with special attention paid to making it easier to build start-ups around prisons, health care and education. Mr. Lonsdale proposes that “private prison contracts tie financial incentives to performance measures,” for instance."
This is true. Especially in the slum area's this is very common. The voters are supposed to switch off the burning camper with their hand as a religious promise ritual.
Given that they've always had lifestyle, arts, food, fashion and other writings under their umbrella, I'm going to guess that you're not a patron and your spurious opinion isn't relevant to them.
"There are not plenty of ISPs for 99% of people in the US. You have one provider, maybe 2 if you’re lucky"

This is laughable it's so far off base.
I agree.

The part I quoted just got me thinking about a much bigger picture and things I have been witnessing my entire life.

I realize that my previous comment is broad and vague.
it's in the Style section, which has basically always been writing articles about weird trends among a small number of rich people. readers have been complaining about this nonstop since it got started almost 30 years ago.

generally when I find myself on the NYT website getting a sense of general annoyance, I look up and see that I'm reading a Style article, and then just relax and don't take it too seriously.
Agreed. I'd also add that there is frankly risk to your resume by working on a failed product that no one has heard of. (Or perhaps it's even worse if it's a failure that people HAVE heard of!) Working at a BigCo at least gives some weight to your resume.
dotcom era startups were fun... these days they ain't no different from corporations - greedy, boring, technocratic, stressful, delusional, etc...
One of the things that sickened me most about myself happened about a year ago when I took a trip to Philadelphia as a tourist. My wife and I were walking around, and I make the comment of "there doesn't appear to be any homeless people here", after which my wife immediately pointed to a homeless guy that we just walked past.

Somehow, I'd managed to shelter myself enough and live comfortably enough to where I stopped noticing less-fortunate people. It really depressed me, because I had previously thought of myself as a fairly empathetic person.

To help combat this I donate a fair amount of money ($50/month) to mental-health research and make a conscious effort to pay attention a bit more when I'm walking around.

I'm hardly a hyper-successful person, so I can't imagine how hard it would be to empathize if you're a multi-millionaire/billionaire.

EDIT: I know throwing money at a problem hardly counts as "solving" the empathy problem, but it does help me assuage some guilt.
>But that's part of the problem.

No, it isn't. Tech changes rapidly, and legislation quite simply isn't going to be able to encode a specific contextual mutating standard. Law isn't wrong to offload that analysis to an institution that is in the thick of it, with access to expert testimony and amicus information to inform it. You WANT the EFF and other advocates being able to weigh in on how the balancing factors should work and you want the courts to listen.

>Side projects get posted to HN or similar and go from hundreds of users to hundreds of thousands in the course of an afternoon.

Yes, and then 95% of those go back down to pre-spike levels of interest. If they's the odd exception which has a massive sustained uptick for their service which promoted copyright protected works, now they can think about licensing and formalizing their processes to protect all stakeholders now that they're a success.

Just because Napster was once small doesn't mean their business model was going to be exempt from attention forever.

> And the solution to that is quite straight forward -- make the penalty for a false claim sufficiently large, and the process for having it enforced sufficiently simple, that it justifies the victim in spending that amount of time to enforce the penalty.

That's not simple. Courts do not afford less due process to larger penalties. The cost is in the complexity; who owns the rights, what did they know about their claim, how easy was the mistake to make, etc. Proving this to a court that has no starting knowledge of what's going on requires money to compile information, prepare briefs, etc.

We like to believe there's no Kolgomorov complexity associated with getting justice, but getting justice requires translating reality into consensus at some level of fidelity. That process is EXPENSIVE.

>the biggest problem isn't overtly fraudulent claims, it's the extremely high volume of false positives the claimants have no real incentive to reduce

Maybe on Youtube that's the case, but that's more of an issue with us having a system of private algorithmic arbitration, which is a seperate issue. The courts are too expensive to follow up on individual claims, and the only alternative is for content holders to sue youtube for big $$$ through content collectives (the threat of which is why we are where we are).
I am aware of this, anticipated this response from you (as you’ve repeated in this thread), and addressed it at the end of the comment you’re replying to. I do not believe that a global perspective diminishes the argument in any way.

The constant stress can definitely wear someone down if they don't have any proper outlets.

I had clear skin my entire life until I started to develop severe cystic acne as a 32 year old adult (after about 6 months of non-stop work into my startup). Once I started dialing things back, my skin got way better.
Some differences between 1972 and 2019 include the U.S. no longer has a military presence in Taiwan, and the PRC has engaged in a vast modernization of the PLA, including its air force and navy (https://thediplomat.com/2018/09/less-visible-aspects-of-chin...).

Is it enough to carry out a successful amphibious assault on and occupation of Taiwan? Maybe not (see https://www.ft.com/content/44586804-195c-11e9-9e64-d150b3105...), but Beijing is very adept at pulling other strategic levers to undermine Taiwan's economy, society, and democratic institutions.

BTW: I would suggest you look into the closely related art of GPGPU programming. OpenCL, CUDA, or whatever. The architecture of GPUs is SIMD on steroids. You'll likely be very happy with the metrics associated with GPU-shared memory (NVidia) or Local-memory (AMD).

NVidia publishes throughput metrics in their PTX page: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index....

AMD's information is harder to find, but it does exist: http://clrx.nativeboinc.org/wiki2/wiki/wiki/GcnTimings

--------

I haven't been doing too much SIMD programming myself, but I know the general intrinsics. I think ARM's biggest problem is documentation. Intel's intrinsics page is great: https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide...

ARM's intrinsics page is... not as good. But I guess still workable. As you've noted, ARM's intrinsics documentation is missing latency / throughput metrics. https://developer.arm.com/technologies/neon/intrinsics

POWER9 by the way has latency/throughput metrics published. I'm most happy with POWER9 as an alternative CPU, too bad its so expensive though.

----------

Intel + Agner Fog is definitely the best documentation for how things work and optimization information. NVidia CUDA and POWER9 seem to be #2 and #3 with documentation.

Since GPUs are available for cheap these days (under $300 and they plug into any motherboard), GPUs seem to be the best alternative computer these days to learn. Since they're decently documented, its good to explore IMO.
Ah, mumble!

In a former online life of mine, this was one of the key components for my clan to advance into the Eurocup finals of 2006 (or maybe it was 2005?) in Rocket Arena for Q3A =)

All the other teams were on (I guess) teamspeak2, and latency was noticably higher for them due to the inferor audio/voice codec employed. I originally considered mumble and murmur attractive due to the fact that the client and server were both proper FOSS, but it proved a secret ingredient to our success back then.

I still use it to this day, but since most games include a voice chat thingie of their own these days, I can understand it isn't more popular. Awesome piece of software, and very polished for a FOSS desktop project!
Following the same reasoning, it could be argued that slavery was also a very efficient way to save money "for everyday Americans". Similarly the land grabbing from native Americans when the colonists arrived could be defined as "very efficient for everyday Americans".

You just need a very narrow definition of "everyday Americans". That, and not giving a damn about anyone else.

I was also very disgusted by this and could not continue reading.
btw, my email to Fastmail:

After reading GMail's announcement about dynamic email and your position statement on AMP, I am thankful to have switched to FastMail and looking forward to remaining your customer. I'm writing to ask you not to implement AMP dynamic email. Even though you don't have a huge slice of the email market, your customers are probably disproportionately privileged and informed (they choose to pay for email...), which positions you to resist these erosions to privacy and democracy in ways that individuals can't.

More pragmatically, I see your non-support of AMP as a big feature. If you don't support AMP, companies can't as easily put pressure on me to use a communication channel where they have all the control.

Thanks!

It is worth noting that the Stoics in general were opposed to innovations in technology. From Seneca, Letter 90: "Reason did indeed devise all these things, but it was not right reason. It was man, but not the wise man, that discovered them."

The early Stoics also opposed wealth inequality: they held that we should be "like a flock feeding together with equal right in one common pasture."

That is crazy, Charter is the second largest ISP in the US.
Ah, that is what I paid. I recall it being less but I checked. The difference, of course, is that I don't manage any virtual servers, and don't even really think about my Mumble server, it's just there. And $3.75 per month is not a significant cost for running a podcast, even if you make no revenue on it.
> "They should have simply said "No children under 13" and made a date of birth selector making it impossible to select a date younger than 13."

I don't believe the FTC would consider this compliance, since such a dialogue is designed to encourage children to lie.

>3. Can I block children under 13 from my general audience website or online service?

> Yes. COPPA does not require you to permit children under age 13 to participate in your general audience website or online service, and you may block children from participating if you so choose. By contrast, you may not block children from participating in a website or online service that is directed to children as defined by the Rule. See FAQ D.2 above.

> If you choose to block children under 13 on your general audience site or service, you should take care to design your age screen in a manner that does not encourage children to falsify their ages to gain access to your site or service. Ask age information in a neutral manner at the point at which you invite visitors to provide personal information or to create a user ID.

A bit more to the point:

> In designing a neutral age-screening mechanism, you should consider: Making sure the data entry point allows users to enter their age accurately. An example of a neutral age-screen would be a system that allows a user freely to enter month, day, and year of birth. A site that includes a drop-down menu that only permits users to enter birth years making them 13 or older, would not be considered a neutral age-screening mechanism since children cannot enter their correct ages on that site.

Minor things I've noticed whilst looking at archives, which made me somewhat puzzled for a bit:

* Pressing Escape redirects to a Squarespace login, which is weird (was trying to get out of Ctrl-F seeing if Python was listed)

* You have article headlines that aren't clickable to get to the article, instead relying on body links.
But none of them integrate as well as Apple Card. And none of the other brand are as trusted as Apple. Unless other big banks offer something similar, people will choose a well known brand that offer these capabilities and not some unknown ones.

The market is the common market, the commodity is android apps. Just like I said, just like the EU said. As for defining "arbitrary markets", I am not the one who described the appstore as a 'market' - that was google.

Go try your inflated ego elsewhere, i'll just call you out on your BS.
You described them as "paid". The opposite of _that_ would be unpaid.

But the larger issue is that I don't really know what you're comparing professional journalism to. Is there actual volunteer journalism that attempts to enforce editorial standards and faces consequences when they fail?
Also: Cicero was not a Stoic, and did not claim to be one; in De Finibus book 4 he takes great pains to refute Stoic ethics.
Craftsman, Husky, and even Channel Locks combination wrenches aren't made in the US anymore. I guess I just don't give them much more credit than the "higher end" harbor freight ones.

The price difference between Craftsman and matco isn't an option for most consumers.

Wrenches also aren't the best example because they're less likely to fail as well.

One could argue that violence is, etymologically, purely psychological: it means transgressing one's intent or will. Harm would be the word for physical stuff.
Hi @shin_lao

As @aphyr had mentioned, any NTP-alike system would work. We can update the docs to mention PTP, we do work with AWS Time Sync as well (which uses Chrony).
That’s outside the FTC’s statutory authority, isn’t it?
I've experienced that artifice too, and it's unsettling. It's as if the NVC is adding an additional layer of inauthenticity on top of regular old inauthenticity.

The real skill, it seems to me, is to be able to know what one is feeling, stay connected to it, and take responsibility for it, especially in high-stress situations. If you can't do that, techniques only make things worse. And if you can do that, maybe you don't need so much technique.

(Not to dismiss NVC though. NVC is very interesting. But I have found it much more interesting and compelling to watch how Rosenberg did it than in the limited cases where I've run across it in the wild.)
It seems like you’re the one who introduced “paid” vs “unpaid”. GP only claimed “real”; you introduced the strawman to which you now object.

If you think it's so very important that there be more than one already-installed terrestrial or directional radio broadband provider in the middle of nowhere; you are perfectly welcome to find out what that will tend to cost, and start a charity to subsidize it.

The government can not force private individuals or businesses to provide new services to any random location in the United States that anyone could technically choose to live. That's a good thing, in my view.

As somebody who intends to live further away from urban centers, and knows what distance does to the cost of providing telecommunications services, it is my responsibility to entice others to do business with me, not anyone else's.

If somebody is actively conspiring to prevent new business in this sector, that's one thing; but if the local government, geographic, and economic situation of some place is just such that it's not worth extending ISP services there, that's not in the FTCs purview.
The claim is not that Roman ethics was spread through popularity with the rich. The claim is that one particular strand of ethics within Roman culture did so.

That said, I am not sure that Stoicism was particularly rich-friendly, nor that it was necessarily more successful than its competitors.

Its about the implications, how it relates to the status quo online and how the digital economy works. What they're trying to enforce is just irrational and goes against the natural flow of things. They're nuts.
I feel the point you're making. The title is clearly linkbait, almost none of the comments I've read here are positive or feel the article is making a clear and well-evidenced point.

Discord is all about being dead simple, and nested channels necessarily require more configuration complexity on both the server and client.

So, while the feature is a must-have for a small subset of users, it's probably not seen as being worth the trouble when just supporting several flat channels is more than enough for the 99% of Discord's potential user base.

I'd still hope they at least add some kind of "broadcast to several channels" option, since that seems like the simplest version that would still be useful, but I don't really expect it.
