Well, I posted this article a short while ago, and I thought it was an interesting look at how an artform that is by definition not entirely accessible can be made more so without losing the spirit of the original.
And the renewal process for young children requires all the same stuff AGAIN. Two parents, original birth certificates etc. No idea why they can't just use the old passport information with an updated photo. They expire every five years too, so that's three difficult trips involved and a fair bit of expense.
Flash was garbage code hidden behind closed source. The fact that it achieved so much was just an artifact of the dire need for a web graphics api.

So at what point do we start producing CPUs specifically aimed at running a kernel/userland? Why don't we have a CPU architecture where a master core is dedicated to running the kernel and a bunch of other cores run userland programs? I am genuinely curious. I understand that x86 is now the dominant platform in cloud computing. But it's not like virtualization needs to be infinitely nested, right? Why not have the host platform run a single CPU to manage virtual machines, which each get their own core or 20? Would the virtual machines care that they don't have access to all the hardware, just most of it?
> The passport is to prove US citizenship.

That's an incredibly flawed thing to ask for with domestic flights, though. Most US citizens don't have a passport at all.

Do cloud providers commonly float cores between VMs? I could see instances like the AWS T family (burstable) sharing, but I had always assumed that most instance types don't over-provision CPU.

If that's the case, my CPUs are likely pinned to my VM. I could still have evil userland apps spying on my own VM, but I would not expect this to allow other VMs to spy on mine.

In general, for many areas of online business, if you have enough users (or large business users) that you really need seven servers, then it should bring much more than few hundred bucks a month; and if you don't then it should be (with proper design and implementation) runnable either on a single workstation (your own) or on the free/trial tiers of various cloud providers.

It was a Disney movie - but he wasnt ready to sit thro character buildup etc, and complained the cartoon was too "long".

It's been going this way for longer than 10 years if you look past the Internet as the medium.

It might be possible to trace this back to the inception of the 24 hour news networks if not earlier; that first taste of ad-fueled insanity, and the modern terrorist attacks of (2001-0)9-11 on US soil sort of catalyzed the trend. It really became solidly about fear and outrage, and the enfeeblement of being unable to actually do anything to address that negative emotional state.

A real solution is going to require the people as a whole to "grow up", to take responsibility in the sense of breaking the cycles of fear, violence, and greed. To instead focus on building a world where we all get better, and do better overall, rather than individually getting enough and kicking the ladder off for those that should follow.
Was the explicit purpose of the grant to increase employment? Or simply make the business more competitive with advanced machinery? These agreements can be set up such that the grant need not be repaid only if the business creates X full time jobs over a period of Y years. If that condition isn't met, the grant is repayable.
> Every company out there is trying to employ more people.

That isn't true, many companies have far too many employees relative to the size of their business. Companies grow much in the same way that bureaucracies do (see Parkinson's law). Firing people isn't necessarily easy, but it can be very profitable.

> The only problem is in finding people who are a right fit, who have right skills and so on.

Don't forget price.

> Government has zero role to play in "creating jobs" or "attracting jobs".

It has a massive role in increasing the price and risk of hiring people. Corporate taxes also directly affect the risk/return calculations for new investment.

This article makes it sound like AT&T execs lied about creating jobs, but they de-facto didn't. Creating 1000 jobs through investment doesn't imply not getting rid of 1000 other jobs through restructuring. Of course you're not going to be boasting about planned layoffs in the same breath, at least not to the press that serves the general population.

> Presumably they get their money's worth in terms of local economic activity and tourism.

No, they don't. The fact that Vancouver is Hollywood North is industry inside baseball. The public doesn't know or care that the work is all outsourced (which is in fact how Hollywood wants it). The subsidies exist to bring jobs to the region--especially to keep artists employed, which is seen as socially desirable.

> Nobody would equate those tax breaks with the government somehow helping Amazon run its service.

But they do. That's why the entire controversy in NYC existed regarding the tax breaks for "Amazon HQ2", for instance. People were not happy with the government effectively subsidizing such a rich company.

I don't necessarily endorse the grandparent post's proposal--it seems extreme--though I do believe copyright terms are presently too long. However, I do think that the fact that the public subsidizes the entertainment industry is a valid argument in favor of concessions of some kind, for the simple reason that the public deserves its money's worth.
We had to do major changes to nginx's HTTP/2 implementation. The original implementation is designed to pipe through all data as quickly as it can (read everything that is available, and send it down immediately), which makes prioritization and coordination between multiple responses impossible.

Politics. Wired high speed internet requires shorter distances between the ISP's box and your house, and so in suburbia they need to put little boxes down the street at closer interviews for high speed internet. Local city councils block these for reasons: local residents complain about the boxes ruining the look of their street, or simply don't want tech workers to displace them and make rents go up.

Gigabit internet exists in select neighbourhoods, but expect to pay a rent premium for it. Ask the leasing agent what ISPs are available before applying; if their property offers gigabit fiber optic you can bet they'll be happy to tell you they've got Fiber Optic from Sonic or AT&T. If you get the usual "AT&T and Comcast", then stay away.
Of course it's artificial. However, that doesn't mean it's arbitrary, or useless, or can be ignored at will given the current system of socio-economic organization. You're absolutely right that in the world we live in, policy makers have to be careful about financial decisions, or suffer the consequences.

But I believe people should be reminded from time to time that our world is pretty far from the best possible one: There's no particularly good reason that a child has to die from undernutrition every couple of minutes, that fusion research stagnated due to lack of funding, that people go bankrupt to pay for healthcare, etc. As a species, we're just too stupid and greedy to do any better...
VMs from these providers are always shared cores (in the affordable price tier at least). So if you think you need seven 4-core VMs, either you'll end up needing much more, because you're not getting dedicated cores, or you'll end up needing fewer resources, because you're underestimating the power you'll get from dedicated cores.
That said, my advice is to leave the flexibility of cloud for those with flexibility of budget and just get a dedicated Xeon server from Hetzner at hetzner.de/sb. Four cores / eight threads with 2 HDDs go from 29€, and with SSDs from 34€ (at the moment). That kind of box has a lot of horsepower to offer, and I'm sure you'll find a way to make that work for your project.
The stream of critical CPU vulnerabilities starting with Spectre/Meltdown last year are related to speculative execution, not just Intel. (AMD and ARM CPUs are also vulnerable to Spectre, for example.) Intel CPUs are sometimes vulnerable to additional attacks because they speculate in more scenarios than other designs. But fundamentally, as long as multiple different trust domains are sharing one CPU that speculates at all, or has any microarchitectural state (e.g., caches), there are likely to be some side-channel attacks that are possible.

The important thing to realize is that speculation and caching and such were invented for performance reasons, and without them, modern computers would be 10x-100x slower. There's a fundamental tradeoff where the CPU could wait for all TLB/permissions checks (increased load latency!), deterministically return data with the same latency for all loads (no caching!), never execute past a branch (no branch prediction!), etc., but it historically has done all these things because the realistic possibility of side-channel attacks never occurred to most microarchitects. Everyone considered designs correct because the architectural result obeyed the restrictions (the final architectural state contained no trace of the bad speculation). Spectre/Meltdown, which leak the speculative information via the cache side-channel, completely blindsided the architecture community; it wasn't just one incompetent company.

The safest bet now for the best security is probably to stick to in-order CPUs (e.g., older ARM SoCs) -- then there's still a side-channel via cache interference, but this is less bad than all the intra-core side channels.

Git isn't really designed for cryptographic security, is it?

The concept of `baseload' is entirely a creation of the system of extremely large thermal plants that are essentially a path-dependent outcome of the electric grid's development. There is no intrinsic usefulness in the concept.

In other words it would be good to stop acting as though the only possible grid is one that looks exactly like the one that was developed in the early 1900's. There are many other arrangements of generation resources and economic structures to pay for them than the existing grid. That is what renewables are moving toward.
IMO there is very little need for the friends mechanism on Facebook. I think you should just add people you are interested in, and they add you if they are interested in you, and there should be no confirmation whether you were added or not. That way there is less of the toxic clique behavior possible where you unfriend or refuse to friend someone, no popularity contest or friend counts, and the current behavior of seeing friend-only posts would still function if you mutually added each other. The way it is designed seems to me to invite drama and is a big problem. Please change it, Mark!
Unfortunately this work isn't really targeted at mobile devices. It seems to work reasonably well on tablet size device (IMO), but I wasn't really sure how to address phones.

True, there are ad-ons to address such browser deficiencies. The question is why browsers do not have these capabilities natively. Clearly, a large number of users want them.

Note that the 20% in your estimate are quite significant.

As for "breaking websites", perhaps in the evolution of a web to be faster, those "certain websites" with too many third-party dependencies should be selected against, not for.

Another interesting question is whether something like HTTP/2 developed by an advertising company encourages the inclusion of more third-party resources, perhaps in the form of advertising and tracking, or does it encourage less, in the form of smaller, faster, safer websites? It appears to be overkill for the later.
