No, I have not, but I find quotes like the ones bellow (taken from the article) as pure lies told to their investors:

> The company wants to make it easier for users to discover and buy new products because they shop in spurts while watching TV or sitting in the bathroom

No, no-one in the under-40 target is sitting in front of the TV and then is deciding to shop for stuff, almost everyone in the under-40 target is sitting on their phones (mostly on FB + IG + Whatsapp) even when watching TV, even when in the bathroom, and it's in there (on FB + IG + Whatsapp + other social networks) that the buying decision is made. TV is for the older-than-40 audience.

Last night I read the "Happiness" chapter (no. 18) from Steven Pinker's fine book, Enlightenment Now, where he reviews data on loneliness in the US students (among two dozen other graphs in the first twenty chapters).

Pinker implies social critics abuse the words "epidemic" and "crisis".

After reviewing the downwards-sloping graph (plotted from 1978-2011) and more data, Pinker writes:

[quote]
Modern life, then, has not crushed our minds and bodies, turned us into atomized machines suffering from toxic levels of emptiness and isolation, or set us drifting apart without human contact or emotion. How did this misconception arise? Partly it came out of the social critic's standard formula for sowing panic: Here's an anecdote, therefore it's a trend, therefore it's a crisis. But partly came from genuine changes in how people interact. People see each other less in traditional venues like clubs, churches, unions, fraternal organizations, and dinner parties, and more in informal gatherings via digital media. They confide in fewer distant cousins but more in co-workers. They are less likely to have large numbers of friends but also less likely to want a large number of friends. But just because social life looks different today from the way it looked in the 1950s, it does not mean that humans, that quintessentially social species, have become any less social.

The industry will probably get dragged, kicking and screaming, into using tagged pointers. CPU could then use the information to put safe lid on speculative execution.

It really is going to depend on what test you are running. HT has the greatest effect when the running process has a lot of "downtime" for things like memory retrieval or any I/O as it allows for other processes to make use of this downtime. So if your tests are just doing calculations with very little file/network I/O it could very well be in the 9% range.

Writers for broadsheet newspapers always seem to draw parallels with ye olde timey things that even their oldest readers probably haven't seen take place in decades.

Not the OP, but I too was a self-taught programmer as a teen who got a CS degree in my 20s. I independently came up with the idea binary search in sorted data structures. But the first time I encountered hash tables in the course of getting my CS degree my reaction was "That's impossible! You can't get O(1) efficiency!"

(Sadly though this exposure was not in the context of a theoretical course on data structures, but rather in the context of reading the docs for HashMap as my university dropped older courses and languages to jump on the bandwagon of becoming a "Java school".)
Yes, if 1 in 10 working Americans struggles with food, and that has always been the case, then yes, I would say our economy has never boomed.

If you're telling me that it's okay for 1 in 8 to live beneath the poverty line or face regular food insecurity, then I guess we have different views of what life should be like in a rich developed nation; especially one with a "booming economy".
David Mazières (designer of the protocol) has given a number of talks. Here's a good video of his talk at Google, and I believe it's the one I watched a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmwnhZmEZjc
Advent of mix, squarespace and other website builders is great. In general you don't want to "code" boring similar sites with the same functionality each time. It's awesome that small businesses and casual users can cheaply get some website running without nightmare of hiring/managing, it just works for them.

As a web developer you can code really interesting stuff instead and experiment with other approaches which can't be automated. If client wants to tailor every aspect of logic and look is where the value of web developers is.

Doesn't this assume all service providers are morally and legally good? I would restate the principle as, "you're morally and legally liable for the misdeeds of a service provider with which you've contracted in accordance with the extent to which you can reasonably expected to be aware of their moral and legal practices." But if you assume all companies are legal (else they wouldn't be companies) and that legality implies morality (an absurd belief), then your justification would be spot on. It's a gray area, in my uninformed opinion, and a key question whether Western states could reasonably expected to accurately assess what China would do with their trash
Thanks for the answer. I think you touch on something with the Optometry example, and that example helped me to articulate a proto-idea I've been trying to get a finger on and haven't been able to grasp until now.

To avoid unnecessary anguish, pretend there's a country called Foo.

Natives of Foo are much less intelligent than the average human, and racists point to them as an example validating their racism. But imagine what's really going on is, the natives of Foo are all genetically disposed to have terrible sleep apnea, and that's what's causing their reduced intelligence.

If we ask "Why on earth are natives of Foo less intelligent?", then we can follow that thread and eventually realize it's because they all have sleep apnea. Then we can give them CPAP machines and fix the problem.

But if we dogmatically put our fingers in our ears and scream "everyone is equal!", then we have no hope of sorting the mess out. It would be as ludicrous as condemning optometry because we're afraid of hurting the feelings of people born with poor eyes.

Thanks for the comments about sociology vs. biology. Pragmatically speaking, we need to figure out how we can change our society to legitimately incentivize this "uplifting" (it isn't free). Our current tactic seems to be to brainwash people about magic pixie dust qualities of diversity. This doesn't do anybody any favors, because the invisible hand of the market doesn't care about propaganda. Push it far enough and the whole job market will be made of shell company contracting agencies whose sole purpose is to take on "diversity liability".

If I'm reading this correctly, then I refuse to believe Google - constantly being criticized for peddling "fake news" - would be happy to see these big news websites exploiting Google algorithms to make money like this.

They are essentially hijacking Google's trust signals (meant to try to prevent fake news from appearing high within the SERPS) and using them for profit. The only reason they are ranking so well is because of this algorithm. It's misleading in the extreme. And where does it end? Daily Mail Poker Reviews? Le Monde Compare Home Insurance?

I'm not convinced that association with cryptocurrency does much to give the appearance of credibility, trustworthiness and stability to keybase.io

I associate crypto with shonk, which puts keybase.io in the "this is a crypto thing? Hmmm.... shonky." category.

I guess it depends on what the corporate goals of keybase.io are - I think it was identity management or something rather being a crypto player.

edit: I should qualify that I've always seen and continue to see keybase.io as being a really reputable and stable company and not shonky. I guess I was a bit jaded by being flooded with crypto ads on every social media platform 12 months ago or so.

This is discussed in the patent, but not in the submission. Add something about it. I don't know which are the current preferred drugs against cancer.

The patent takes forever to load. I got more luck with https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf;jsessionid... and https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2018134265A1/en

The language of patents is very very very difficult to read. (It's not your fauls, it's standard patent legalese.)Do you have a link to a research paper with similar content?

<IIUC> This drug block the hydrolysis (destruction) of the ATP in mitochondria of the cancer cells. Usually the mitochondria produce ATP, but in this cancer cells the activity of the mitochondria is too low. The mitochondria also produce other useful molecules like NADPH while producing ATP. And if part of the APT is not destroyed, they can't produce the other useful molecules and the cell dies.</IIUC>

How bad is that?

I don't know if you can write a very simplified explanation without breaking the FDA rules or something, but add more information in the site. The graphic of the molecules are always nice. (And the 3D render is even nicer, in spite it's not so useful. Add both.)
They have different cache architectures; Intel uses inclusive (i.e. all levels contain keys from previous levels), AMD uses exclusive cache (each level contains unrelated entries to any other level). This might have different effects on classes of vulnerabilities they are prone to.

almost entirely modern cpus and computers architecture.

I can draw a parallel to approximately all Intel cpus which are know to have a dedicated "mini cpu" called "Minix" which is an absolute "black box" and have been found to be vulnerable for to a wide variety of attack for nearly decades...

Not only we need to redesign computers and cpu architecture but we desperately need to make that entire process and knowledge open source , available to all and more transparent.

Today this entire knowledge is the hand of few gigantic corps whom are keeping it to ensure their monopolistic position.
You can't really find a good AMD workhorse laptop; all of them end up with some outdated 1080p displays at best :( There is like only one notebook with a decent HiDPI screen with Ryzen (some HP, but not a workhorse).

Urbanization certainly doesn't solve it.
No it is not zero CO2 output in 2050 but about 65% reduction only, or 80% if a 25% reduction of electricity consumption is achieved. This is 1) too late, 2) not even on par with France's electricity C02 production.

And a nuclear accident would not involve closing the whole country, it would involve an exclusion zone of 10-20 km (Fukushima exclusion zone is 20km, but it include zones where the residue radioactivity is <50 mSievert, way less than some natural radioactive places), a whole lot of economic damage (but negligible compared to climate change), and between 0 and (at worst) a few thousand deaths.

I think it isn't viable with non-deterministic (in time) hardware behavior. This means dedicated caches, or no caches at all. Dedicated guaranteed memory speeds and latencies. Dedicated processing units. The untrusted code cannot be affected by other code, otherwise the other code leaks its usage patterns across.
> if you expect to be getting paid $400k total compensation or more

I may be weird, but getting that level of compensation is honestly not something that would be that compelling to me. I mean, all else being equal, more money is better -- but all else is rarely equal.

What I want from a job is to engage in fulfilling work at a company I can be proud to be a part of, while making enough money that I don't have to worry about money very often. For me, where I live, that amount is around $80k (although I currently make a good deal more than that).

If I don't wake up in the morning happy to be going to work, then I'm in the wrong job, regardless of what it pays.

> I mean, people were tearing these boards apart, looking for anything. There's no way they could keep that quiet, even if they were willing to disappear people.

Without commenting on whether or not I believe the Bloomberg story, I very much doubt that "people were tearing these boards apart", doing reverse hardware-level engineering looking for an unknown. Even in the case of open-source software, with full source code and documentation available, the number of people who analyze code is miniscule.

Doing the same thing with ICs and PCBs, without engineering diagrams and documentation, and needing very specialized skills and tools, must be 1000x more difficult. Maybe Supermicro and some intelligence agencies did internal studies, but they aren't going to tell you anything. Perhaps Apple and Amazon asked around in their engineering departments to see if anyone saw something. Possibly a couple security researchers took a look to see if they saw something obvious. But I don't think teams of experts were mobilized all around the world trying to pinpoint a deeply hidden hardware vulnerability.

I'd love to be proven wrong. Hacker News is read by ~50,000 engineers and programmers and related professionals a day. Admittedly my comment won't reach 50,000 people, but I'll ask anyway: Is there anyone reading here who personally analyzed a Supermicro board in any meaningful way, or knows anyone who personally did so?
> examples: "Rust/Java gives you security"

That's what everybody does in SEO, though. Very few links to sites monetizing via affiliate schemes are actually "recommendations", they all get bought & sold, or rather rented.

> Daily Mail Poker Reviews?

That's benign. They will happily give you great reviews for predatory lending, very questionable casinos, sports betting etc. The large media companies have zero limits what they publish, as long as you pay them well, and Google has zero interest in fixing this.

Most of the sites also blatantly breach GDPR rules. I've personally reported two. The officials asked them for a statement (after sitting on it for two months, they are understaffed), they received "we will change that shorty, thanks for notifying us" as a reply and closed the case. The companies didn't change anything, of course.

It is what it is, and it's not going to change anytime soon.
