Reminds me of when Tennessee Valley Authority let contractors certify the dams for its coal plans, which they failed terribly at, leading to a dam breech that spread toxic material all over the valley and watershed outside the Kingston Fossil plant. I covered the protests back in 2009:

An SD card might work fine if it is mounted properly. The slot found on a Raspberry Pi would not at all be sufficient.

If it were held in and held against some robust contact pins it likely would be fine, even under automotive conditions. There are SIM card slots that are used on heavy vehicle computers and controllers (the ones that run the engine and so on) that are robust enough to hold a SIM card in place for years of excessive daily vibration.
>Unfortunately with the rise of identity politics and ethnic factionalism...

Are you aware of what de Tocqueville, thought of Native Americans and Blacks? Even from de Tocqueville's brief time here, he could see the ethnic factionalism. If you're uncertain he saw the US in terms of ethnic factions, reread chapter 18 of his Democracy in America. Ethnic factionalism was central to the US. (It is this ethnic factionalism that, historically, holds us back actually.)

Now, I might concede that Identity Politics may be new. (Only in the sense that we certainly had no LGBTQ etc political movements here in the 19th century for instance.) But to suggest that ethnic factionalism in the US is new is just to ignore the history of the United States.
1080p strikes me as the pinnacle of a workstation display for laptops right now since I highly doubt any productivity improvement from higher dpi is gonna beat out battery life in the vast majority of cases. Even in the one use case where it matters, 4k video production, theres a reasonable argument for using screens similar to what your consumers will use at least some of the time. Especially if it saves you money and you get to use discounted top performing cpus to boot.

Realistically the AMD laptops lack of color accuracy compared to shit like the trutone Intel macs, and lack of display connectivity especially compared to a thunderbolt outfitted x1 extreme that can connect to four 4k displays is a bigger problem. Especially since external displays actually need the resolution.

What the commenter above you was describing about mmap'ed files and dereferencing invoking the kernel implicitly -- that's true on all current CPU architectures (everything from x86 to SPARC to ARM and back again.)
The link to download the 311 reporting app for Android and iOS are on the right side of page when viewed on a desktop, not sure how it looks on mobile however the link should still be there.
The pagetable itself can be very large; disk cache and network buffers can also take a huge amount of memory and are probably great targets for data exfiltration.
I think it' useful to divide this into two separate issues:

- information

- information asymmetry
Why isn’t anyone making the case that Boeing needs to simply go away? If a person had gone out and murdered two planefuls of people, he or she would have been hunted down by the police. Boeing is just a company: something that a battalion of poorly equipped rednecks could mop up in an afternoon. What am I missing?
Change that by putting more effort into your comments.
What people are forgetting is that Boeing did it all to head off competition from the E190 and Bombardier C-Series, both of which are smaller planes than the 737 but are bigger in terms of passenger comfort while being smaller in terms of noise and global warming impact.

Boeing discounted the 737 MAX by more than 70% to force Bombardier to sell the C-Series below cost, which forced Bombardier to sell a controlling share to Airbus for $0.

I rode in a E175 and was blown away by the passenger experience; the 2nd generation E-Jets are much better and the A220 is better still. Boeing hopes that you don't ride in one and realize you don't have to settle for a 737.

(Not like I trust Airbus with the A220, since they've got the same motivation to string the A320 along that Boeing has to string along the 737)

Every social platform says stuff like that when they start, but then they mysteriously start moving away from those promises when they find they can.
> It is possible to have OoO without speculative execution

That's technically correct (the best type of correct!), but without speculation, the CPU can't see beyond a branch, so the window in which the machine can reorder instructions is very small. (For x86 code, the usual rule of thumb is that branches occur once per 5 instructions.) So in practical terms, an OoO design (in the restricted-dataflow paradigm, i.e., all modern general-purpose OoO cores) always at least does branch prediction, to keep the machine adequately full of ops.

An interesting question, though, given that we're going to do speculation, is what types of speculation the core can do. The practical minimum is just branch prediction, but modern cores do all sorts of other speculation in memory disambiguation, instruction scheduling, and the like, some of which has enabled real side-channel attacks (e.g., Meltdown).

Also, FWIW, Pentium was 2-way superscalar, but not OoO in the fully general dataflow-driven sense; the Pentium Pro (aka P6), in 1995, was the first OoO. (Superscalar can technically be seen as OoO, I suppose, in that the machine checks dependencies and can execute independent instructions simultaneously, but it's not usually considered as such, as the "reordering" window is just 2 instructions.)
The only thing most HN'ers know about Crowdstrike is that they were involved in the Russia hacking attribution in 2016-2017. But this is a major tech company S-1 --- Crowdstrike is one of the more important security product companies of the last few years --- and tech company S-1's generally get warm coverage on HN.
Of course you don't understand, because you don't need them, you can't understand freedom of expression if you never had anything to say, you can't understand privacy if you never had anything to hide, if you were living in a country like mine, Argentina, you would understand immediately the incredibly useful thing that Bitcoin is.

I have a Swiss bank in my pocket, in a country that steals all your savings every ten years and the central bank destroys you with inflation.

I have an international payment system, I can send and receive money in minutes to whomever I want, without asking permission from anyone, without the government or the bank stealing it from me. From a place where it is sinful to take your money out of the country.

It's the difference between existing or not in the world, and you have no idea how incredible it is to be able to pass an Argentine crisis without your family suffering hunger, no centralized system could give me something similar at such a low cost.
I grew up in a pretty dangerous city and have been robbed at gunpoint. San Francisco is _not_ a dangerous city and the problems it has pales in comparison to many cities in the United States, especially in the rust belt. Are there homeless people? Yeah. Is the city trying to address it? I honestly think so, it's not a simple problem to solve.

I don't understand how this post caused so many knee jerk reactions to homelessness and housing etc. I swear you bring up _anything_ related to San Francisco and it triggers people. If you hate the city so much how can you stand living there?
What am I missing? The bundling comment at the end sounds like what I suggested
I know it's unlikely cause, America, but I'd like to see some of these executives tried for criminal negligence. They'll most likely just face civil suits and make settlements with passengers/pilots families ... which honestly isn't enough. Executives need to know fucking up this bad can lean to prison time.
This isn't a backdoor but it is a major vulnerability.

Try riding in a A220 or E190 and see if you still think the 737 has a reason to exist.

The 737 MAX is a classic case of secular stagnation, of undercompetion, underinvestment, regulatory capture, etc.

”the whole cryptolocking business model falls down if the attacker isn't at least moderately honest”

Nitpick: it only requires most attackers to be somewhat honest. Having a few unscrupulous ones may make life harder for the “honest” ones, but they themselves can be better of, e.g. by, after receiving payment, demanding more money.
I didn't see it mentioned in the article, but did any of the 3 companies confirm that the repos have been actually cloned as the attackers suggest?
SUN tried the flock of (in-order) chickens in the past, targeting JVM workloads. It wasn't great.

On the other hand GPUs are pretty much what are you describing: excellent for some specific workloads, terrible for others.

> I don't think there have ever been an OoO CPU without speculation.

To the extent I've looked at it, without reading original documents, the original OoO design that current systems are based on, the IBM System 360/Models 91 and 95's floating point unit using Tomasulo's algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomasulo_algorithm didn't extend to speculative execution.

No doubt because gates were dear, implemented with discrete transistors, and that processor was a vanity project of Tom Watson Jr's. And memory was slow, core except for NASA's two 95's with 2 MiB of thin film memory at the bottom, and cache was still a couple of years out, introduced with the 360/Model 85. OoO becomes compelling when you have a fast and unpredictable memory hierarchy, as we started to have in a big way in the 1990s when we returned to this technique.
It is astonishingly how out of touch Boeing leadership is in everything that they say about this crisis.

They "own it" but they've "done nothing wrong."

ah yes, the "we can't listen to any ideas from anyone born before the year 2000 because they were racist" argument.

we're all done here, ladies and gentlemen. De Tocqueville's ideas are hereby tainted and therefor void.

guess we should drop that whole pythagorous theorum while we're at it too, considering Pythagorous' personal beliefs. Also Newton was super racist, so gravity is out.

Also every one turn off your lights and your phone because we can't use electricity because of how racist Ben Franklin was.
> This is much faster.

Hi. Am trying to understand what you meant here. That both "verw" or "l1d_flush followed by an lfence" are faster than "mfence" which you implemented in safelibc?

If so, why didn't you use these faster options yourself? My understanding was that these faster options needed to be handled at the hypervisor/kernel level, rather than in libc. If so, how is the attitude of glibc maintainers relevant?
> Pro-active legislation is something that should be higher level -- state senate, federal, etc. Local politicians should be listening to their constituents to determine their priorities.

I'd argue the opposite--pro-active legislation is better if it is tried locally first. That way, we can see how different places try different approaches to a given problem to learn what the right approach is to use when later the problem is addressed at the state or national level.
"Boeing discounted the 737 MAX by more than 70% to force Bombardier to sell the C-Series below cost, which forced Bombardier to sell a controlling share to Airbus for $0."

I don't know any better, but I thought - statements by the companies to the contrary aside - that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Bo... is what drove the Airbus partnership.

To be fair, so is "religion" in practice.
Is it obvious if they have an existing plan to sell shares and are simply waiting for it to trigger? They can reasonably claim they took this action to protect consumers until they had a better fix
Well, it's over 100,000 people, is one thing.

More seriously, the real question is why the CEO of Boeing doesn't get forced out. It would seem time for the board of Boeing to do their job, if only in order to save their pocketbooks. It is dismaying that they haven't even done that.

Fun additional detail:

As part of our sales and marketing activities, we sponsor a CrowdStrike-branded professional racing car, which our President and Chief Executive Officer drives in some races at no incremental cost to us and in lieu of us hiring a professional driver. As we do not pay any amounts to our President and Chief Executive Officer under these arrangements, it is not reflected in the above table.

It might be obvious, but that's exactly what Brian Krzanich did in 2017. He didn't get in any actual trouble for it even though the timing smelled blatantly like insider trading.
I'm sorry, what? The "over-reliance on executive agencies to set policy" is just shorthand for "congress can't pass these laws".

But that's not because some passive voice nonsense about "political paralysis", it's because these are partisan issues. One party doesn't want these laws to pass, and won't vote for them.

It's not a passive structural problem. There are good guys and bad guys here. If you actually care, it's time to take a stand.
I think he's just arguing that the factionalism has been around for a while; that the "rise of ... ethnic factionalism" isn't a new thing. He obviously considers de Tocqueville a reputable source on the issue so he's not undermining him here.

I think your criticism is misdirected.
Hey I think I'm one of them! I've actually worked 30h weeks for the past 2.5 years. It's amazing, i'll be happy to talk about it.

> Are we sure they're making much of a profit from sale of the phone?

Yes, I think we can be pretty sure. Like Apple, Google will drop the price of the phone over time. And other manufacturers who must make a profit to survive (like Nokia) sell similarly speced phones for less.

You are paying a premium for Google phone, a premium Google pockets. They are justifying that premium by ensuring some of their software is only available on the Pixel. The outstanding low light performance of the Pixel camera is all done in software, as in the speedy voice recognition (they run the neural network locally on Pixel's because Google has the best neural network compression).

I think it's safe to say Google is leading software engineering company on the planet now, and here are leveraging that to charge a little more for their phones. As they should. Good luck to them.
Do you know why it's said to be last-resort in the article?

Yes, that's part of the causal chain. Boeing forced Bombardier to sell below cost, and then filed a petition to accuse Bombardier of "dumping".

Neither of those examples are comparing like for like, they're comparing two different services, not the same service at different times. Congestion pricing on trains is supposed to level out the distribution of travelers, not to move them to different services.

For one, they provide jobs for more than 150,000 people, not including contractors and vendors. Would you prefer those people all land on unemployment overnight? The people who did this should be punished, sure, but that shouldn’t make all of these people liable.

If they can’t recover, the company will be sold off for parts. That’s pretty standard in the corporate world. But to say we should somehow punish middle-class people trying to do good work by disappearing their employer because of some bad actors within the ranks of the company is a bad take.
It's possible it's time to confront your neighbors and friends.
An additional factor is that fibre-optic generally requires less maintenance, so even given the same scale of network there'd be a smaller workforce required.

How would you _see_ facial recognition technology being used?

Do you see a way facial recognition technology would be used to solve the homelessness problem? Like, I'm not sure how you see them being connected, or how banning it will harm efforts to address homelessness.

Isn't this a benefit cause the money saved not doing facial recognition can be used for things that do matter to you?

The reason you see lots of homeless people is because there are lots of poor people who are homeless. Simple as that.
Wow, that's masterful. Incredible.
Have you considered taking Wednesdays off? I can't remember where I saw it (probably HN), but it breaks up long work weeks so that you only have two consecutive work days in a row. I'd be eager to try that if I had a 30 hour work week.

Accuracy helps.
Gboard's machine learning also doesn't send what you type up to Google. There's no practical difference. Apple iPhoto sharing also stores photos on the server but just does an embarrassingly worse job of being useful. Similarly with iCloud Mail and collaboration suite versus Google's.
"Taking a stand", in the sense used here, refers to taking action to effect change. Call up your neighbors and tell them who to vote for. Tell all your friends who you are voting for, and why.

Excusing this as some kind of structural problem with "political paralysis" sounds, to me, like you're a nominal republican who hates republican policies but is reaching for an excuse to avoid hanging out with dirty hippies and AOC. But the hippies are right, here, if you care about these issues.
What do you mean "true" supply and demand? What was happening before was true supply and demand. They offered a rate, people were capable of consenting to the terms while accounting for expenses, and they did. Then an intermediary stepped between the consenting transactors and told them that they could no longer accept those terms, and now those transactions can no longer transpire, regardless of whether or not both parties would like to engage. How is that true supply and demand?
So is FireEye (and FireEye is inqtel/cia funded). Crowdstrike are the best in the game.
They all advertise as 40 hour work weeks but once you get in you learn that isn't the case. None of the employees or managers in tech want to be held to hours so it always ends up being a different policy than what is on paper.
I don't quite understand the "not changed in sound" part.

AFAIK, "lox" came to English through Yiddish, which got the word from German. And in German, the vowel was always "a" not "o" (e.g. https://ia600301.us.archive.org/32/items/etymologisches00klu... traces the word to "lahs"), so the vowel quality and the final consonant appear to have changed.
