But as soon as you add another service with write capability, you need to re-implement the validation logic. What if you forget?

In context of application validation logic, the logic is only living in one place.

In highly-parallel workloads like rendering (ray tracing) where pipeline stalls due to loads happen quite regularly, it's fairly easy to get 20-35% speedups with HT.
in crazy liberal Europe you see plenty of IT jobs advertised as 80-100%, i.e. potential for the candidate to negotiate a 4 vs 5 day work week. (examples https://www.jobs.ch/en/vacancies/information-technology-tele... )

My colleagues in Switzerland who took this path were either fathers that directed that extra day to their child, or people with a vibe for the outdoors and exploring . It gave an impression of financial stability and level-headedness in my mind. And demonstrated that these people were employable and valuable enough to contribute good value over 4 days per week.

So I think it is a good look for an employer to have these approaches in place. As downsides for the rest of us, yes meetings would sometimes need to be delayed and certain crunch periods had the awkward obstacle of a 3-day weekend for some team members, but I hope the 80% employee demonstrates flexibility to help hit deliveries when necessary.

...to re-train the copper
linemen to work with the
new technologies. The
problem with this is that
its' expensive. Insanely
expensive.

So... What you're telling me is that, if we were to automate lots of jobs with AI and robotics, those that lose their jobs would mostly be stranded jobless, as it would be too expensive for them to retrain for emerging jobs, or really any job at all?

That the idea of technology eliminating jobs, but also creating new opportunities is laughably unrealistic?
A 20-30% increase is a BIG increase for a hardware feature, though. The cost of hyperthreading in transistors mostly amounts to the larger total register set. The whole point is the rest of the decode/dispatch/execute/retire pipeline is all shared.

Are you sure AT&T and the other telcos never promised to do FTTH? My understanding and recollection (I worked at QWest 1995-'98), was that this surcharge was explicitly to replace the copper infrastructure with fiber. I worked on the billing system but talked to people who were managing a pilot project in West Omaha.

There are infinitely many strings that produce a given hash. Infinitely many of them will also produce a secondary hash that you check against. There is no general-purpose scheme to compress arbitrary data, regardless of available computational power, because if you can compress all length-N plaintext strings then you must end up with at least 2^N distinct compressed strings which will take on average at least N bits of storage.

They advise only to use lfence, similar to compiler vendors. I advise to use a full mfence instead when clearing secrets. Load/store ordering is violated in caches. And cleaning secrets is done not so often, it needs to be reliable. MDS is thanksfully only for small data, and modern keys are much larger. But adding a simple verw for the tiny non-cache buffers does not hurt either.

Twenty five years ago in my area, a mile to half a mile was routine for elementary school students. By middle school, I would come home to an empty house and go pick up my brother who was in kindergarten. Nowadays, my daughter is in elementary school and I see parents drive their cars up to the bus stop and hover until the bus comes.

When I started reading Usenet in the 90s, trn (threaded read news) was the state of the art in news readers.

It might be worth mining the trn user interface for ideas.

The author tried to write a major new version (4) in the late 90s, but from what I could see of the development process (being on a mailing list), the codebase became unmanageable and there were lots of bugs that proved impossible to catch. Usenet was on its last legs by that stage anyway. So that's a cautionary tale: make sure the specification and basic architecture remains clear and clean. (I'm not sure how many of the bugs back then were related to managing ncurses and other fiddly issues that won't arise in the architecture of a web app.)

Two WO patents are cited (linked to), wherein a patent has to provide sufficient data, dislosure etc. to pass the patent examiner(s), who is scientifically trained, and ultimately it must be able to stand up to scrutiny in court, by very sophisticated (pharma compa[ny/ies]) assailants. It is a very expensive futility if done without underlying merit.

People don't necessarily need to be in one big team. Lots of things that are important can be worked on by more than 10 people.

Frankly I am surprised they have not been hit with a trademark dispute.

Many citizens who haven't traveled internationally don't have a passport. My American wife and most members of her family have never had occasion to get one. This is a general problem to be solved, though: occasionally videos surface of Border Patrol agents detaining people until they produce proof they're a citizen. Now, green-card and visa holders are indeed required to carry said documents with them. But citizens are not required to carry proof of their citizenship. So the statistics are actually such that a random person not having proof of legal status in the US is more likely to be here legally than not.

Unfortunately, thanks to racists, it's considered politically incorrect to even require a photo ID when voting, so I don't see us solving this problem in a satisfactory way soon.
The government actually heavily subsidizes the entertainment industry through tax breaks. In Canada, a huge portion of the economy of Vancouver is in entertainment, which basically exists entirely on the back of tax incentives provided by the government of British Columbia in order to attract outsourcing work from Hollywood. If those tax breaks ended, then the industry would likely vanish overnight to offshoring. Similar situations apply on a lesser scale throughout the US, for example in Louisiana [1].

There are plenty of scenarios where synchronization overheads between cores dwarf the performance gain, but OoO execution can help.

But maybe instead of having more cores, we should expose the different execution units within a CPU core to the architectural level? That however brings back memories of Itanium, and the general fact that compilers just can't do static scheduling well enough.

What is the recommended course of action? Stop buying Intel products, and devices which contain them?

What about devices with older processors? I'm still running a Sandy Bridge rig and it works fine, except for the side channel vulnerablities. It's probably not going to be patched. I also have a cheaper computer with a Skylake processor, which is newer yet still vulnerable!

It's only a matter of time until something really nasty comes along, making all these PCs dangerous to use. What then? Lawsuits?

My questions are only partially rhetorical.

https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/18/amazon-pre-ships/

"Amazon has filed a patent for a shipping system designed to cut delivery times by predicting what buyers are going to buy before they buy it — and shipping products in their general direction, or even right to their door, before the sales click even (or ever) falls."

Realistically they were looking at items added to your cart but not yet purchased, and moving them to a closer distribution center in case you purchased.
Not suprising to be honest. In middleschool and highschool I would stay up even later. Wake up for school at 7, get there by 8, class till 3, after school activity till 5 or 6, done with dinner by 7, two hours or so of half assed work (takes longer the more half assed), then 9 o clock would signal that the rest of the day belonged solely to me and my interests, and I would be on the laptop or play video games untill whenever I got tired. Usually I'd clock around 5-6 hours a night of sleep during the week, and make it up by sleeping close to 10 on the weekends.

College set me straight with sleeping, though. I was able to schedule classes no earlier than 10:30, and if I went out late into the night and got hammered I could sleep in on a whim without consequence. I was also able to have nap time again. Definitely struggled getting sleep with a full time job now, but its been getting better. Everyone where I work has their own schedules. Couple of us are here at 7, me and others don't get in till 10-10:30. Sometimes I work till 7, most of the time I leave by 5, and sometimes I leave at 3. Rigidity kills the soul.

I didn't complain, I asked why. It may well be down to my rather abrasive style, in which case I'd apologise and try to be less so next time.

Or it may be down to me being factually wrong, which I also need to know cos how else does one learn.

Or maybe someone doesn't like what I said which is very much another thing. But I wasn't complaining.
There are probably fewer than 1000 people in the world capable of finding these kinds of vulnerabilities. Sounds about right to have 10 at Intel.

What you're describing are symptoms of not-so-great management, basically. Similar problems will occur if you're the only remote employee. And to be fair not-so-great management is fairly common.

I actually think if you work less you can and often will learn to become more productive (https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/02/11/working-long-hours/). But—a priori one would expect you to accomplish 80% of what others do, and that should be fine with a good manager.

So some ideas:

* You want to choose your day off so there isn't conflict with important meetings. If important meetings happen randomly, yes, this can be an issue.

* Become more productive. That is, produce more within the limits of your time. A lot of this is attitude—"I have limited time, how do I get this done more efficiently?" Sometimes that means spending more time planning! I talk a bit about that here: https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/08/25/the-01x-programmer/ and https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/10/10/beyond-senior-softwa... and https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/05/20/staying-focused/, in a variety of different approaches. And other articles on my site.

* Get a job someplace with good management. They do exist.

* If there's a variety of tasks, focus on ones where you can have high impact without requirement for fast turnaround. E.g. I did this at one job where there was the "we need this tool tomorrow!!!" tasks, but also the "if we don't get this algorithm working in 6 months, all this work is wasted". So I took on the algorithm, because a lot of the work was _thinking_, instead of desperately churning out code.
This is the central concern. No matter how many platforms there are, there will be no, by definition, competition. The monopoly isn't on the platform, it's on the program. No one wants to subscribe to HBO or Amazon, they want Game of Thrones or Man in the High Castle.

It's not all downside. Commercials are a literal break during which kids might get distracted or even do a few other small tasks.

I'm not convinced that binge-watching with no breaks is ideal for anyone; let alone kids.
What is your idea? Maybe someone here would be interested in working with you. Sounds like you need about $300/month. Is that correct?
There is a lot that could be considered wrong about this situation and a lot of directions fingers could be pointed.

Dave should not have been of such importance to the company in the first place. When you hire a person who brings in domain knowledge but doesn't spread it around, you're more renting value from them than you are buying it. In scenarios when such a singular repository of vital domain knowledge is unavoidable, relationships between that person and the rest of the company must be overseen to ensure minimal adversity and maximal alliance.

At the end of the day, when you build a company you are building a team. The more each member is motivated towards the team's collective goal, the more you will be able to leverage the skills you hired onto the team towards the ends you hired them for. People like to think about technical skills as if they somehow exist independent of the human they are inside of. The reality is that the human is the portal through which the skill is delivered, and their human traits are of first class importance when considering how well they will be able to apply their skills should you choose them for your team.

I've flown without ID in the last year. They just passed me to a guy who asked me a few questions while carefully watching my face when I answered, and swiped my fingers for explosive residue. I had an old prescription bottle in my bag and they asked for that, but a laser printer could make a trivial copy of the label if I had ill intent.

I didn't opt out though and I suspect that may have been more difficult.

> The government had nothing to do with creating any of those movies. Why should the government be able to take those movies and release them for free?

The government wouldn't be "releasing" any of these movies; it'd instead be telling the movies' creators: "You chose to make these movies available to the public in a form that makes them vulnerable to being copied. 'To promote the progress of science and useful arts' [0], we the people are willing to intervene on your behalf — but only for a limited time — to stop others from doing such copying. As to those particular movies, your time is now up; if you want us to intervene again on your behalf, it'll have to be for something new you've created, not for the same old stuff."

[EDIT:] That said, of course, the specific duration that copyrights should have is certainly a valid subject of discussion and debate.

It's far more fixable than filtering the water in ocean. The river mouths are probably where the plastics are most concentrated in the plastic's life cycle. You could couple the plastic filter/processing plants with other required systems like power plant cooling and desalination, so that the energy you expend to filter is being used both to filter and for a secondary purpose.
