The company is called Citieo [1]. We work with tiny towns (usually less than 10k people, average is about 5500 residents) that have downtowns already built but the majority of their population leaves to spend their money and their time elsewhere. In our area (Midwest, very little public transport), our exurbs are built on major roads instead of rail lines.

Our public-facing presence is a digital media outlet (website, app, facebook) for each city we cover, but most of our work is done face-to-face with local business owners, the Chamber of Commerce, and the city government. It's a very small operation and we don't make a lot of money from it, but we think it's important to try to save our towns and, in the age of toxic social media and outlets like Next Door/Citizen/Neighbors, foster a real life community in your real life downtown. Outdoor, face to face.

It probably won't be "retaliation" as people imagine it: the government stepping in and taking aim at Apple. Chinese consumers might decide (be encouraged) to buy more Huawei and less Apple. It can be something as indirect as making the US the devil on every possible channel or as direct as including a "patriotic" point in their scoring systems. There's a myriad of ways China could hit at Apple or other US companies without the government directly executing them.
At least based on my tests it is not possible to remove the impact of the mitigations with boot-time flags: this "disabled" the mitigations but the code paths for eg for kernel calls is still much different and slower than pre-mitigation kernels. Pre-mitigation I measured just over 100 ns for a bare do-nothing system call, while after it is over 1,000. However if you disable mitigations on the boot command line I still see over 500 ns so it is not close to the old performance.

You'd have to run an old kernel to really get pre-mitigation performance. I tested this just after Meltdown + Spectre 1-3, so things may have better or worse since then, I'm not sure.

This obsession with I am a genius is bordering on pathological narcissism, excluding oneself from the society because one's too smart to be understood by the world is a very dangerous slippery slope. On the other hand, while in a healthy way, I applaud when one sticks to their own ways. I just wish humility was mode widely practiced. We are not gods, we're just some creatures that have varying degrees of intelligence, but nothing special.

Good luck to you young thinker but remember we are to enjoy this life and the people around us. Don't be lonely and miserable trying to prove everybody wrong, it's pointless.
This is unexpected and quite interesting. I think we totally gloss over the fact that we've just been writing Japanese (and Korean) names incorrectly.

I've always thought it to be quite odd, and there are exceptions too. Mun Jae-in, Kim Il-Seung, Kim Jong-Il are written correctly, so you might think political figures get a pass, yet Syngman Rhee is backwards.
Haha, good job trying to take it out of context. Of course I used a woman as analogy, given the current topic.

When I built an ARM based NAS, I chose to use the Banana Pi BPI-R2 because it was one of the very few boards with 2x SATA ports using PCI-E. It worked fine and got good speeds. It's difficult to run a current kernel on the BPI-R2 though (it is slowly creeping towards mainline). If I built another NAS again I'd just use an x86_64 or aarch64 SBC with a PCI-E port and connect a good SATA controller.

I ran restaurants for a time and it seems that city locations get most of the surplus gained by volume eaten away by higher rents, greater regulation (more expensive to build out) and taxes. Lower volume suburban locations had better per unit profit at the end of the day than high volume locations where I worked (provided the low volume location hit a certain threshold).

That's not right either. The (incorrect) headline isn't about what Tesla is "worth" to Apple, it's what the purchase price would have been. The market has already priced in things like growth expectations and debt load, that's the whole point of having a stock market in the first place.
Introduction to Logic Circuits and Logic Design with VHDL: (ISBN: 3319341944)

I'm sure each person here is talking about a slightly different assignment, course, and book; but for me (from an EE side of the coin) the person that wrote this book taught our 2 semester course series that starts with basic logic, moves into the circuitry, and then into modeling the entire computer architecture in VHDL on a reasonably inexpensive FPGA (the Altera dev boards are about $100-$200).

The book follows that 2 semester series to a tee, and uses the guy's same in course narrative style (minus smacking the whiteboard @ 8 in the morning and us getting yelled at by the french teacher next door). The writer has won multiple teaching awards from IEEE, and is a real gift to the EE community - as you can tell I have 0 complaints.

> I don’t see how it benefits Huawei for their founder to take this combative stance unless they think that the US is doing this solely to kneecap Huawei and there is no chance they will allow them to compete even if the allegations are proven untrue.

That's a strange position. Please help me understand.

The allegations are about national security threats. How does one prove his innocence in general? Huawei did what they can with the British by showing the source code and build processes, which was obviously far from enough. The US has gone out of its way to pressure its allies to ban Huawei, following a long and hard media campaign, ending with a deadly blow on Huaweis supply chain. The writing is on the wall. If the US is not doing this to cripple Huawei then what for?

I've seen that convention used in English-language sources more often than in French-language sources, which seem to usually use the pattern (also dominant in English) of initial caps for names with none of the name elements in all caps. Is that really a “French convention”?
Yeah the nightmare scenario goes a bit like: 1) Huawei's tech gets embedded deeply in US telecoms as 5G takes over as well as everyone claims it will and includes some buried controls mandated by the Chinese government 2) tensions between US and China inevitably come to a head over something 3) the Chinese government uses that backdoor to cripple US wireless networks 4) various sorts of hell break loose depending on how much 5G has supplanted other wireless industrial control solutions.

> while servants stream in bearing platters heaped with heavily sauced and delicately spiced foods from all over the world

One of my favorite "audiobooks" (in quotes because it's actually a lecture series) is Food: A cultural culinary history [0]. From what I recall, there was nothing delicate about the spicing of food. The amount of spice that you could put on something signaled your wealth (spices are expensive), so heaping spices on was the thing to do at these banquets. The idea of "delicately spiced" foods came much later from French cuisine.

I read the "Of Mice and Men" investigation. It was a good read. But I guess the kicker is that this code is in fact written by Apple for WebKit long before Google forked Blink (do a git blame; and see notes that "if you linked on Tiger or above"). I would've thought for all the vague public-facing documentation, Apple's internal documentation must be better. I guess that's not so.
In Europe, the GDPR should protect against this. Is that actually the case, and is an opt-out possible for all EU car owners? And would, e.g., a Tesla whose owner has opted out still get software updates?
China has a club of rich and powerful people. This guy is one of them, he is in it and obviously has friends in high places. I wouldn't be surprised if China decides to either ban or raise taxes on companies like Apple. At the end of the day, China does have some leverage on US manufacturing. This is no longer just Huawei. It's pretty much China versus USA. The challenger versus the incumbent.

No, it's also so it can defend itself with the line that "hands weren't on the wheel" whenever an Autopilot-enabled car crashes again.

Forget the fact that a malicious actor could probably make it look like that anyway, or even the fact that Tesla's own "hands on wheel" sensor isn't very accurate at all.
It's not unique in that there literally exist other computer algebra systems (CAS), sure. But it is unique in two meaningful ways:

1. It is arguably the most sophisticated CAS available. Open source tooling has crept up in performance and completeness in recent years, but Mathematica still dwarfs every open source system in performance and feature availability. Competing proprietary systems like Maple are capable of beating Mathematica in certain specific domains (like PDEs), but that leads me to my second point.

2. Mathematica isn't just a CAS. It also supports sophisticated data analysis and ingestion, visualization, (some) machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, signal processing, climatology, meteorology, geography, financial analysis, and limited forms of convex optimization.
Or you could use another method of communication. You are not entitled to the Facebook communication channel or any other privately owned channel. The unstated suggestion that lacking access to Facebook is a fundamental barrier to effective communication in our society is untrue. Just because the only contact you have for an individual is Facebook doesn't mean you're entitled to use Facebook. My only line of contact to my ex is her xbox-live account, does that mean I am entitled to XBLA or would you deign to allow Microsoft to ban people from the network it owns.

3) Wonder what happens in private sale of used Tesla, since the second owner never agreed to such terms, or did they? (Depends on when these terms are presented to them). Could lead to a class action, just saying...

This is my thought exactly, and not just for Tesla.

The original purchaser agreed to the privacy policy, but if the original purchaser goes on to sell that vehicle in a private transaction, then the second purchaser did not agree to said privacy policy.

Also, since private sales are just that - private - how does the manufacturer know who the data is now about?

> I didn't say it's not necessary because it's owned by a private corporation, I described its private ownership status to emphasize the fact that Facebook is private property that users don't pay for, not something that anyone is entitled to use.

Okay. But being necessary and being private property are two independent properties. Which is a problem because it means that some people must use something they aren't allowed to use.

> If you were to shut down the electrical grid tomorrow, hundreds of thousands would be dead within 24 hours, if you were to shut off Facebook tomorrow, it would be a moderate inconvenience to a lot of people but everyone would survive and most would move on within a month.

I basically agree. Society needs the services Facebook provides. But it does not need Facebook because it could trivially shut it down and use a replacement instead.

But individuals can't. When they need a communications platform, they need the communications platform other people use. Which is Facebook.

I'd love to shut down Facebook, but unfortunately, I can't.
The major red flag is in the "misunderstood genius" part -- 99% of the people I've ever seen with a claim like that haven't interacted with things enough to have been able to truly test their claims. "Genius" is only "misunderstood" when the person laying claim to it does not do enough to substantiate their argument.

Here, I read some of what they had to say about "infoliberalism" -- the immediate issue that I have with their position is that they make some kind of claim that a few participants in it would naturally lead to a revolution. They then go on to claim that the system is completely decentralized, but also complain that not one other person is willing to join. If their system were truly decentralized, and also something that would provide significant benefits to participants over the existing social/economic/political order, why is the number of practitioners exactly one? All of this screams quackery.
I am outraged that the government above my government is so gungho about censorship.
