Intel made one single bad bet - their 10 nm process didn't work as well as they expected - and TSMC, who made the right bet, leapfrogged them.

In terms of architecture and vulnerabilities, it's not prudent to bet Intel chips are more vulnerable to exploits than others - it's just that we know more about those vulnerabilities. If you want to find vulnerabilities with high impact in cloud and enterprise data centers, Intel Xeon CPUs will be your primary research target.
We started the company about 1.5 years ago. Since then nobody has taken any meaningful vacation; however, if he wasn't around and we had any question we'd just call him! Right now I'm the de-facto CEO but I'm seeing the team freaking out exacerbated both by grief and the gloomy prospects of our company...
Lots of good stuff in this thread. I'll add: introduce the tech into their lives yourself. Don't wait for them to call you and tell you they just bought a laptop at Bestbuy (just for example). Educate them, appeal to their already built in BS detectors. Pay attention and answer their technical support calls :) [also Apple store and Bestbuy are usually great customer service resources]

Earthing
I worked for 10 years in TV and radio. I wrote, hosted, produced. I never once felt as free and proud as when I started creating my own show and mailing list, The Hoomanist.

I was able to break free from the pressure of making something profitable, and just played at the top of my skills to make something meaningful.

I record and edit long profile interviews with people I admire, take time to talk about what drives them in life, create the graphics, host my own Ghost website. I backup all the uncompressed interviews on two remote servers and on Millenniata discs.

On top of that, every week I select 6 thoughtful links to share with the mailing list. I make sure it’s all stuff that ignites critical thinking and doesn’t expire like the news of the day. I do my best to avoid any cynicism.

I talk to everyone and try to learn to listen better. A CEO, a director of photography from Pixar, a porn star.

This is the preface to the project and a list of guests is easy to find if you are interested.

>Who do you think you're renting that apartment from?

If enough of the housing market were publicly owned (see Vienna) or decommodified (meaning, it is illegal to own more than one housing unit/to rent property out. If you own a residential property you must live in it) the laws of supply and demand dictate that the price of the property would be lowered until the point that the people who would like to rent there, in aggregate, would be able to afford to purchase instead.

Of course this will probably never happen because too many people would have the rug swept out from under them in terms of net worth, but it is possible.
But they do not claim that hardware mitigations are necessary. They claim that they need to change browser architecture a little bit:

> The only effective mitigation is to move sensitive data out of the process’s address space. Thankfully, Chrome already had an effort underway for many years to separate sites into different processes to reduce the attack surface due to conventional vulnerabilities. This investment paid off, and we productionized and deployed site isolation for as many platforms as possible by May 2018.

So with improved browsers it's still unclear why ordinary users need those performance-eating mitigations, when browser vendors managed to solve that problem themselves.
Allowing them to live in our presence and not trying to kill them? Rats are largely scavengers, their involvement in, e.g. black plague, has been disproven. If you don't leave food out and available, they won't eat it. In many countries around the world people live in harmony with other animals and don't try to wipe them out just because they are in the same space. Not to mention the amount of toxic poisons that end up harming us more than the rats that we are dumping int our own habitat to try to kill the rats.

It's not much different than insects. We've chosen a few "pest" insects as the scapegoat/enemy and have bent over backwards trying to exterminate them. As a result, we've decimated all insect populations as collateral damage, severely damaging our own habitat, environment, and ecosystem, and again, poisoning ourselves in the process. Because... Everyone eats insects, and once there are no insects, there's nothing for them to eat!

Same thing with bacteria. We've decided that sterility is the way to go, and gone on a mad spree trying to kill all bacteria, forgetting that bacteria is how we digest food, so again, poisoning ourselves and damaging our own health, threatening ourselves in the process.

These are all living organisms that we are closely related to, sharing the same environment as us, and anything we do to them comes back to us.

Not only that, but our bodies are tuned over millions of years to coexist with them, and a sterile environment with all kinds of synthetic poisons in it, once again, fucks us up.

There is also the issue that computers and AIs are learning from us the way children learn from their parents, and will one day treat us the same way that we treat the "lower" species.
I mean, the first question in the FAQ is about those diagrams so maybe it should include an example of one? Usually when I'm evaluating a new project I am not so interested in figuring out what it can do if that isn't clearly communicated up front.

Could regular car owners farm their cars out as regular taxis? It doesn't seem compelling.

The only value that car owners are providing in this scenario are capital (the cost of the car) and maintenance. The capital for a self-driving taxi is more than a regular taxi, but otherwise it's similar. Both capital and maintenance can be provided more efficiently in bulk than in a cottage industry model.
If the rich people are already willing to live in smaller apartments, let them. I say the city should concentrate on housing the poor and homeless. Let the rich take care of themselves. They generally do.
Does Hledger support encrypting the ledger file? I don't mean placing the ledger in an encrypted container and mounting/unmounting as necessary, but I guess 'natively' as part of the file (think an encrypted Excel document).

I'm a GnuCash user, but my biggest gripe is not being able to encrypt my accounting file. I'd love to have it sync across my devices via x cloud platform, but I'm always paranoid about uploading anything that isn't password protected. If I was able to do that it'd be the push that gets me to switch from the GnuCash GUI to a plaintext account.

Maybe there's some other way I haven't thought of without a high barrier to entry like constantly mounting and unmounting an encrypted container to make changes.

> They were primarily responsible for the spread of the Black Death/Great Plague

While rats can and do spread plague, you might be interested in the widely-covered paper that came out last year concluding that rats probably did not cause the Black Death, and that it was instead spread by fleas and lice on travelling humans:

Extracting triplets is useful for explain-ability. You know where you took the fact from, so it help build a consistent view of the world. In fact this consistency can be used as a signal for training your algorithms in an unsupervised way. It is useful for building a search engine because it helps create relevant index automatically.

Once you have a way to construct the knowledge graph automatically, you can made better recommendations. One usually good recommendation is inferring the graph query which gave some results the user was interested in. Then you can run the query and propose to the user an exhaustive set of similar results. Basically it's a great way to intuit the intent of the user : It helps you get the "Why".

An other application, which is a little extension is to use quad-stores instead of triplets, so you can have facts about the facts. It is very useful to highlight the fake news/fake users. Or to identify the point of view of various individuals for further targeting.

The more promising ventures of this type of work is that Graph Query Language are kind of an easy programming language and are a good stepping stone toward more useful programming languages. This is probably one step on the path toward program induction.

Comments so far have been focused on a reductive analysis of the piece that reduces the work to its base components. Reducing Jeff Koons' One Ball Total Equilibrium to a tank of salt water and a basketball https://whitney.org/Education/EducationBlog/OnViewOneBallTot... . Marco Evaristti's Helena to a goldfish in a blender http://artelectronicmedia.com/artwork/helena-by-marco-evaris... . Or (more classically) Duchamp's fountain into a urinal. As modern art is meant to be bizarre, this reductio ad absurdum feels true but it isn't accurate in capturing the spirit and nature of these pieces.

We have been trained to see most works on canvas as art first, layers of pigments second. Through education, the skill used to create them has become evident to all of us - thereby sanctifying them from these criticisms. Yet all art was subject to such criticism at one time or another. Some even going so far to call Munch's paintings "An abortion, a failure like those Zola described so well D'Oeuvre. Here is no longer a question of nature, only a bizarre madness, delirious moods, feverish hallucinations" and "Are those meant to be hands or are they blobs of fish mousse smeared in lobster sauce?"

Sounds familiar?

Art goes beyond the technicalities of the creation of the work itself. Art is a form of communication. An attempt to have a conversation with a society. Or an expression of the artist’s uniqueness. It can be that and so much more. The point of art does not have to be linear technical accomplishment, it can be the exploration of the bizarre and the strangeness of our world. The fish in a blender were put there as an invitation to kill a being. The point of the piece was the question, will a human being push the button? In a world where cruelty exists at a push of a button that is a valid and fascinating social experiment.

This work is original and creative in the sense that it packs what wreaks our world into havoc into one device and puts it on the pedestal. Our world is increasingly governed by blips of code. Bad blips of code have caused billions of dollars in damage. In that laptop lies the power of immense destruction, contained in a cheap plastic container. What does it say about us when we look at it and the world we have wrought? Those are the questions that pop into my mind when I look at the work. That’s what I feel the artist is trying to communicate.

We will at some point recognize the audacity of this piece as art as well. But we haven’t matured to that point yet. We still look at it as “blobs of fish mousse smeared in lobster sauce”

Art is an ever-evolving conversation. All we have to do to appreciate it is… listen more closely and relax the preconceptions that cloud our mind. Let them all fall away to hear what the artist might have to say.

It is far more interesting to look at art this way than the common, reductive lens.
Wouldn't that stagnation be exactly what prompts another startup to come along and make the next Dependabot 2?
The chaos is pretty nerve-racking. There aren't solid processes in place and management could be clueless.
It may be we are in a place not of extreme market freedom, but of extreme returns to capital. This looks like too much regulation and too much capitalism, at the same time.

The problem is that you can't actually build low income housing in a tight market. All housing is desirable when there's a severe shortage like we're seeing in Toronto and other cities where new construction is being limited.

So the cities usually respond to this by trying to apply criteria to who's allowed to use the new housing. It's inevitably managed in a crooked fashion.

So the children and mistresses of city councilors get cheap housing and the working middle class get screwed.
The simplest answer possible: the higher end of the market, in a market based housing system, will always live where it wants to live, because it can bid up rental prices higher than the rest of the market when there is housing scarcity.

Right now in the bay area, there are many wealthy people (including many people on this website) that are living in non-luxury condos that would live in luxury condos were they more reasonably priced (which building more would do). Those wealthy people would move out of middle class housing and then people with lower incomes would be able to afford the middle class housing. If you build enough luxury housing, the greatest beneficiaries will be people with lower incomes
It would help relative to doing nothing in that case though, right?
Wow. So, I was preparing for technical interviews I came across that post from 2009. And the values in the tables seemed relevant but potentially dated. And so the question to HN is directed toward whether those values are still valid, and whether other values are relevant now. The title of the post is a reference to the title of the OP.
Just admit it, they don't agree with you politically and to be more specific they are not as lefty as you are. Leave them alone, having different opinion is not being "sucked into social media bubble".
Some are, but a lot of regional games are blacked out and not available on Sling. I tried to switch the last couple of years and every weekend in the fall (College Football) my game was on cable and not on Sling.
Agreed. I cannot update the title, apparently. Would if I could.
If you had good reasons to ignore their previous emails you should let them know.
I see this trend as well. Maybe it is about growing up and seeing past things now.

I would be more interested in how we can move to more long term thinking. (Long term thinking includes the short term because otherwise the organisation might not survive. But nowadays it appears to solely be about the short term.)
>> That's preposterous. People (for the most part) don't just sit around writing fake reviews for companies they have no dealings with.

Try being a defense attorney. Try defending murderers and rapists all day. There are always more people angry at you than happy. And those that are happy with your work, the murders and rapists you help, generally keep very quiet. Those that aren't in prison are not going to be bragging online. What you will get are angry relatives and victims lashing out at anyone connected with the defense.

I used to teach a class with a public defender. He was afraid to walk alone to his car at night. It wasn't his clients. They were generally all in jail. He was afraid of the mothers of his clients' victims.
That might certainly be the case for empathy with fellow humans, but there's an almost psychopathical overabundance of empathy for pets.

Fantastic. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Adding housing to solve homelessness is, after support for low-skill immigration, the most retarded belief held by a majority of tech workers in Silicon Valley.
Citation? Otherwise this seems like a straw person. Even if a few people get cheap housing there's still lots more.
Intel's Turbo Boost 3.0 [1] was their attempt to take advantage of the fact that some cores on a chip can clock higher than others. It does not work well in practice, because it requires too much collaboration with motherboard and OS vendors. This feature is not available on their desktop platform, which the i9-9900KS uses.

I can make nuanced arguments grounded in economic theory too but that doesn't seem to have any impact on people's behavior. Meanwhile negative externalities continue to pile up because it's profitable not to account for them.
Why would steam's hardware survey report if JavaScript is enabled in browsers?
That's because it's true? I am also in favor of a complete decommodification of housing but in a well-functioning market based system what they described would occur.

I don't understand these slides. The volatile keyword does not magically bypass the mechanism by which modern CPUs write to main memory. Am I missing something, or are they somehow meant to be ironic?
Bingo. Helps in job interviews, too!
Those are bad examples because they both run unsandboxed.

The recent CPU vulnerabilities aren't uniquely bad for Javascript specifically. They're bad for wanting to run unprivileged code. Javascript in regular web pages just happens to be the most obvious example of sandboxed code in desktop computers.
This is a game of numbers. They have 500,000 employees attempting to unionize and at least 400,000,000 products. If all small, rectangular-ish objects are packed by these machines that could replace thousands of pesky humans.

Worth noting that the article was last updated in Mar 2019.
There is one way that it would not solve the problem to build more housing. That way would be that most renters and homebuyers are basically irrational, or systematically overvaluing the location of their residence when better options exist. I would argue that this is actually the case in the SF Bay Area.

For example, I live in Pittsburg, almost at the very end of the yellow line (it recently got extended to Antioch). I work in SF making a decent salary. My commute is pretty long, nearly an hour one way, sometimes longer. My rent? Well, for a two bedroom, two and a half bath condo with a garage, porch, and backyard, it costs me roughly $2100/month, and we don't have rent control here. My rent has been raised only twice in the 3 years I've lived here, and only by about $50 each time. The same amount of space in San Francisco, by my best estimate, would cost somewhere between $4k and $5k a month. Also, that space would probably be in a much much older building, in a denser and more dangerous place than my town.

So, one could immediately ask, if I'm able to work in SF with an SF-commensurate salary, and pay this low in rent, why is no one else doing this? As far as I can tell, people even living in SF are very lucky to have less than a 30min commute one way. So I tack on an extra hour per day of commute, or, lets say, roughly 20-25hrs per month.

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? For someone making near what I am that would be more than my average hourly salary for time spent on the train. Again, people do vary in their respective valuations of time spent doing something other than optimally, but I would be surprised if it was worth that much.

Also consider that housing is continuing to be built on the other side of the mountains in the east bay, and that in Pittsburg and especially in Antioch it is possible to get a lot of space for very cheap, still. Its not unreasonable to expect transportation to get better over time, either.
Just having the ledger in cryptomator works fine for me. Not sure how secure it is.
You're right. Should have been more precise and not mimicked the title of the OP.
Perhaps broach the fact that social networks are really just advertisement delivery networks, and that they found that partitioning audiences by interests let them sell you for more money.
