If they were indeed family members and employees posting reviews and they are all coming from the same IP address it seems like there is enough evidence to warrant looking into it.

Also, they should be subject to the law like everyone else. If they are behaving unethically and breaking advertising laws and deceiving consumers, fuck them. They should be punished. Fullstop. Just because they are a law firm doesn't grant them special privilege outside of the act of giving legal advice. Fake reviews aren't legal advice.

I disagree with all of them. Maybe they have their own units, and a new model may have a louder setting than before but they want to keep ten the same as it was before, so they will put in eleven. If they make ten louder and make ten the highest, then the setting might be too coarse.

In the early days of internet marketing there was this figure called "The Rich Jerk" who would sell a lot of stuff by insulting his prospects. "I'm smart and your dumb" "I is winner, you is loser" type of thing.

I doubt that would work so well nowadays, infact the same guy made a comeback with a more "I'll help you step by step" attitude. "I'm a changed man" ha ha!. Good marketing indeed.

But if he stuck to the Jerk approach when the world had got more sophisticated and spam-intolerant no one would probably be interested in that.
I have doubts - most people I know got far more than me and none got into elite institutions. I can’t even imagine how exponentially superior the people who got into multiple must be.

I have an ipad 3 (yah the original ipad on its 3rd iteration). Apple was supporting os updates until fairly recently. The thing is that none of the modern apps tested or cared about something that old. So even if was technically supported the experience was borderline unusable. Even the core ipad usage was klunky. Stuff gets old and we move on.

How is it self-defense to mass-exterminate a largely harmless species that's closely related to us?
That's interesting to analyze and everything, but it's surely inconsequential compared to what real people say and all their misinformation, rhetoric and general bias. What's the difference between a popular influencer with a public persona spreading politically biased stories and an faceless account doing the same thing?

It sounds like they're looking for someone to blame for right wing candidates' success in the same way people blamed Russian bots for Trump's success because they can't believe that real people could possibly be voting for such obviously "wrong" candidates of their own free will and they must surely have been fooled into it by clever tricksters.
How does volatile bypass, for example, a TLB lookup or miss?
I'm really sorry, this sounds awful for you all. Get your attorney to help you with your immediate obligations. Notify potential investors/creditors/partners of your loss and ask to follow up with them in the second or third week of June, depending on volume. Take care of each other.

Even on x86, even with the C11 memory model, you can still get burned by transaction reordering as the MMIO passes through bridges. Plain old PCI can do this.

Every time this comes up I just can't escape the notion that it's really just because SF, geographically and culturally, has more desirable traits than other places. Temperate climate year round, travel hub, diverse thought, tech opportunity, walkable. What else has this? More people want to live there than it can handle. Build more housing, perhaps the price drops for the people who are there, but then that price will mean more people will want to move there. Wouldn't it be better to have another high quality population mecca nearby?

It's the same with homeless policy - if you make it attractive enough, you attract more homeless, unless surrounding areas have also implemented similar homeless policies.

Building more housing is a supply-side argument - what are some positive ways to reduce demand to move to SF?
I couldn't get my Dad off Windows, even though he kept getting malware and viruses and ask his helpdesk (me) to repair the damage (which meant hours of formatting and reinstalling windows and N apps and ...). Inertia and "but this is the way I do it" are hard to fight.

FWIW, if you're running Google Apps for your family email, you can require a certain level of password quality, and force-reset the offending passwords.
> People do vary in their subjective valuation of a long commute. I probably do consider it to be less of a problem than most people. But do people really consider it to be worth nearly $2k-$3k a month?

Yes. Two hours of commute every day make me extremely impatient and unhappy. And grump with coworkers and just generally fellow humans. Even 30min one-way, especially on BART, would make me unhappy. 30min on a bike is OK though.

If it were on a nice train, with seating and desks (to work on a laptop), it'd be a bit different. But BART definitely isn't that.

Before I started to mostly WFH, I had a ~7 min bike ride to work, that was fairly nice.

> Its not unreasonable to expect transportation to get better over time, either.

Do you see any realistic signs that BART into the city will become meaningfully faster or more pleasant in the next ~10 years?

I sometimes ask people to consider a thought experiment about planning for 50 to 100 billion people, after stepping them through the idea that while the expansion rate is starting to slow, it really isn't something we should rely on. I find most people just shut down, several stating that it isn't something we should ever think about. I find it strangely poetic that many people are perfectly willing to think about billions of people dying, but not about billions of people being born.

Sure. My point is that HN doesn't fit the "major" category. A group of people doing something that all know each other and fit into a single room is easier to run than a metropolis.

I also find "community" to not fit the bill, but that's another point.
I saw some leaked benchmarks today and it doesn't look great. I really hope AMD will kick the Intel (I even have Ryzen 1800x too and will buy the new 16 core one), but I need fastest possible single core performance and by the look of it at best it will be the same. But AMD has other problems like huge DPC latency, which makes it difficult to use for real time computations. If Ryzen happens to have the same single core speed as 5Ghz 9900k and pack 16 cores capable of delivering it each, I'll swap my Intel in no time.
> Frequently used for "lock free" synchronization, its usually actually worse than using locks

How can you hold a mutex in a register? That doesn't make any sense.

San Francisco has basically dug it's own grave. By refusing to construct enough housing it has created a massive shortage. Even if it starts construction today the backlog is high enough that there will "never" be enough housing. It will take decades to undo the damage. Americans are migrating away from SF, (international migration still high). People are still living with their parents or with roommates, so if you build more housing then people will move out into their own apartments. Useless NIMBY metrics like average rent don't seem to reflect the increased quality of life of those people who get to stay in SF. What counts is that the population in SF can keep growing. Because new construction serves the top end of the market first, NIMBYs attribute the increase in rent to the new construction as the primary source of high rent although the increases would happen regardless of new construction.

The answer doesn't change: if there is not enough build more of it.
These problems were not unforeseen. The politicians were warned over and over again and you can find articles about it going back years.

The implementation problems are with the law, not the companies. There are ways to enforce data protection and privacy without such complex and nebulous laws that aren't even effective against the worst offenders.

>I'm still not sure why we're now basing our entire economy around advertising

I see 3 models for websites: completely donation based, advertising based, or subscription based. Many sites would have trouble getting the donations they would need to operate. Subscription based means only rich people can afford to use it. Advertising means poor people get the same functionality as rich people.
I didn't write the slides myself, but I think the implication is that the TLB is not consulted at all and the physical address is resolved again for every memory access. Of course, this is compiler / architecture / OS dependent though, so YMMV. The point is mostly to convey "lots of stuff you probably didn't consider is going on in the background and may have a nontrivial impact on parallelism."

True. The idea that Disney would allow this is doubtful to me:

Limiting distribution, sure... Though again they would be losing a lot of money to DVD/Bluray sales, etc. so again I doubt it:

> After a few weeks it’s no longer in theaters. You can’t buy it. You can’t rent it. The only way to watch is to subscribe to Disney’s steaming service, Disney+.
This was my attempted solution. It works ok, but my father falls for just about every phone scam.
While the article is correct that the machinery behind turning housing into an investment does warp the market, that’s not the whole story. Something that’s often weirdly missed in these discussions is the change in housing availability versus the change in population. SF and the Bay Area are not building enough new housing to match the population growth. I suspect the same is true of Toronto and other hot spots of unaffordability.
Not gonna lie, this post made my day. Well done sir/madame!

If it was as effective, title would be: Cities became human free.
Just FWIW I have a very similar living space in the city (admittedly older) for $3500. Personally I would consider the $1400/mo worth it to have my 20-30 minute commute over an hour commute, because to me the extra ~60 minutes a day at home is worth a lot.

I don’t think it’s morally better or anything like that, just worth it to me.

My assumption based on market rents is that there are enough people who feel it’s “worth it” for them to drive up the rent, otherwise you are right that more people would be moving out to the edges.
For all the people talking about how of course we should increase population density: what should someone like me do? I'm neurologically over-sensitive to certain noises like subwoofers or dogs barking. So what should I do when all the housing is bulldozed and replaced by high-density apartments? Be forced to go move into the woods? And then who will provide food for my young children?
It (in theory) should bypass any caches in between physical memory and the CPU. Of course this is compiler/arch/OS dependent so YMMV...

The slide is admittedly a bit vague, the point is mostly to convey "lots of complicated things that you probably haven't considered are going on in the background to speed up memory accesses in a uniprocessor model." Keep in mind the class is exploring parallel architectures, and that lecture is about snooping-based cache coherence.

In terms of "Using volatile too much" I found a comment along the lines of "Not sure why this has to be volatile, but it doesn't work without it" and the answer was "There is a race condition and volatile slows down one path enough to make it go away."

It's in the manual.

The point of Plan 9 is that you don't rely on the sysadmin to put things places for you. You'd mount your home filesystem from wherever it lives and everything would be back to where you expect it. You could even mount /bin from whatever machine you wanted.

Plan 9 does not work in pieces. It only works if you're all-in, which is the reason I don't use it. But when you're all-in, it's very nice. None of the things you're objecting to turn out to be problems in practice. The problems in practice come from not having a c++ compiler or a web browser.
My university cut access to my email account the second I graduated. Which I thought was pretty ridiculous considering 4 years of correspondence I had on it.
Disclaimer: this is an oversimplification and I only have a lay person's understanding.

CPUs are basically huge networks of transistors (on/off switches). They're sort of like tiny printed circuit boards; lots of individual 'parts' are connected by 'wires' on top of a silicon wafer.

The distances are miniscule, but the lengths of wires running between transistors still varies. So when a transistor switches between 'off' and 'on', the signal takes a different amount of time to reach to its destination depending on which transistors are being switched. The signal can also feed into multiple other transistors which it will reach at different times.

While signals are busy propagating through the circuit, the CPU's state will be unstable, including the 'output' value of its current instruction. The time that it takes for any given instruction to stabilize is tough to predict because it depends on a lot of things, including how far apart the transistors are and how many of them the signal needs to pass through.

The CPU's "tick rate" in Hertz relates to how quickly it "latches" its internal state. Between "ticks", the CPU waits for all of the signals to stabilize. If they haven't stabilized when the clock strikes, bad things can happen.

I'm not sure how the 'quality' of an individual chip can make it more amenable to overclocking, though; maybe they run into fewer issues from thermal stress? Maybe the tiny 'wires' between the transistors have slightly less resistance? I dunno, someone help me out?
But are you absolutely sure there aren't tiny, tiny differences? I don't think it's likely, but how can you be so sure?
I work at a very successful startup that's only a few years old. Generally, things are great, but I have a few big annoyances.

1. Management is often only slightly less clueless than you are about your career trajectory. My manager currently doesn't have a solid plan for what I'm doing 3 months from now, let alone 6 months or a year, which makes it difficult for me to plan my long-term career trajectory.

2. Lots of "policies" seem to be made out of thin air. I wanted to go to a conference a few months after I joined the team, and my manager (one of the original ~10 employees) approved it. Then, his manager (the CTO) rejected my request because there was an apparently unspoken, unwritten rule that new employees that have been with the company for less than 6 months don't get a paid conference attendance. I'm not upset that the policy exists, it's reasonable enough for a company that's trying to run lean, but the fact that not even my manager, who is one of the "inner circle", knew, made me feel kind of crappy about it.

3. Overwork. Everyone around me works 50+ hours a week. I try really hard to plan my week efficiently so that I stay at the office for exactly 40 hours per week, get my work done, and turn my damn phone off on the weekends. But one of my coworkers just had a baby and is still submitting code reviews at 1 in the morning. No one seems to mind that I am militant about my work-life balance, but lots of people around me seem to be getting burned out. One guy up and left for a couple weeks, and when he came back, he said he would only stay if they let him start working remotely full time. They approved his request, which is great, but it was the end result of 6 months of overwork and high expectations from everyone.

Now, let me be clear: I love my job. It's easily the most fun and stimulating job I've ever had, and thanks to my being adamant about my schedule it's not too stressful, but there are moments when I feel like I'm drowning a bit. Everyone around me is extremely sympathetic to each other, and we just instituted a make up time policy (if you have to work late due to emergency firefighting, you're entitled to that time back later in the week). We're also very open as a company about mental health and the legitimate need to take mental health days sometimes, which is extremely encouraging. I only hope that the dust begins to settle as the company continues to grow.

Windows paths can be really infuriating. We constantly run into problems with the 255 file name length limit and even if you use the APIs to create longer paths then Explorer or other apps can't deal with these names.

It's hard to believe that after all these years this is still a problem but I guess a clunky foundation doesn't prevent one from being successful.
On an architecture with virtual protected memory (the one being described in the slides) there is no compiler control over the TLB. There is no mechanism for the compiler to bypass it. It isn't the semantics in theory or in practice for volatile to bypass almost anything on that list you have for the non-volatile case. It just isn't true. There must be some misunderstanding somewhere that is only clarified viva voce.

If you are still in the class I'd love to hear a clarification - maybe I'm wrong!
I am referring to https://peerweb.com, an in-development project of mine. There are no public-facing docs at the moment, but I will be providing updates on my Twitter.

In the Seattle-area there was recently a story about some people doing exactly that with an affordable condo program: https://www.king5.com/article/news/more-owners-of-affordable...

And anecdotally I had to listen to a guy brag about qualifying for an income-reduced rental for a Seattle apartment complex by not reporting his tips at his waiting job.

So it definitely does happen, especially in tight markets where having a cheap place can bring big AirBnN money. But there are many people, especially the elderly and those with disabilities who benefit greatly from these same places available, so while I'm angered about those who abuse the system and don't think we can ignore those issues, I don't think income restricted housing should be abandoned wholesale. The penalties for abusing it should be extremely high though.
