In the long term, the limit is the degradation of the insulation on the wires. Like most chemical reactions, its rate increases exponentially with temperature. [0] gives a relative damage rate of

9.8e-18 * exp(15e3/T)

with T in Kelvin. Around the usual operating temperature of 100C, every 10C increase in temperature reduces the transformer life by 3x. So transformers that should last 40 years last 13 years.

If the government wanted to adjudicate that matter - for sentencing or any other purpose - it needed to charge him with those crimes. It didn't do that, precisely because the evidence is flimsy and most of us don't believe most of it for a second. The government's decision to use this "evidence" only as a public relations tool to justify an insane sentence reads like a fascist tendency, not the actions of the justice system in a free country.

Yeah, but because each “who cares about money, we’re doing the secure thing” will be naturally outcompeted by the “money over security” guy since money is the measure of success and is the unit that lets you expand. The hard part is rapidly reacting to a realistic threat model for each situation. That’s why good security chiefs are so expensive.

They know when to move that risk control dial in each direction.
For me it was very interesting to see what GDPR did did to Googles privacy policy: it seems to have forced them to simplify and shorten it.
Any HTTP-based interface is not a REST API(2008)
As a customer, I see a lot of value from Apollo's SAAS, which helps in "productionizing" graphQL. GraphQL has more sophisticated instrumentation and access control needs than simpler APIs like REST/RPC and there are few if any open source projects that can do this. It was a pretty easy buy vs build decision for my team. Granted open source alternatives may pop up at some point.
As an extremely satisfied Digital Ocean customer I have no interest in this service, but I am glad that Amazon is trying to make AWS more accessible to people who don't have a PhD in arcane console management techniques!

This is endemic to many CERN projects, even things that are often open source are behind a login. Or - the source (or export of it from CERN's GitLab) will be available, but documentation is behind a login page.
The memory path for current/prior Threadripper is a pretty well known issue, and likely the cause of the disparity. It may or may not have been an issue in other types of workloads. The new memory path is more consistent, slightly slower than best case for prior gen, but huge leap forward for Zen 2 considering the better handling for higher clocks on RAM.

> Enforcement of basic car camping and drug possession/use laws has basically gone to zero and as a result there is a sense that Seattle has opened itself up as a "Risk Free Zone" for homelessness.

Again, I find this logic to be extremely confusing. How related is "car camping" to Seattle's homeless? Is there some implication that the majority of them have cars they sleep in? Or am I missing something there?

As for the incentive to follow basic property or drug laws, again, how does that encourage homelessness? I could understand if you argued it encourages crime, but why homelessness?

The only remaining argument is basically "this encourages already homeless people to move to Seattle", which I can see being a problem, but of a different kind. It shares certain aspects with the immigration-related problems: in both cases, it's an effect of a deeper underlying problem that acts as a root cause and should be solved.
It also only applies to G Suite users (read: paying subscribers). I don't know what that means, though -- if maybe this functionality was ONLY available as part of G Suite, or if the discontinuation only affects paying customers (which would be weird).
I did not read your blog post (I'm in HN comment reading mode) but I will give a couple of pieces that I found to the puzzle.

In The Tim Ferriss experiment the (in)famous (?) Tim Ferriss "learns a new language within 3 days" [1]. I put that in quotes because it is really up for debate. However, he had a very very clear goal: come off across as passable during an interview.

While this is only 3 days, Warren Buffet says something similar with focusing on your 5 biggest goals and leaving anything else aside [2].

The point is:

- Be consistent (I saw that word as well while skimming your blog post)

- Only try to attack the goal direclty, since it is very likely that attacking your goal directly is possible. Tim Ferriss could've gone to classes to learn Tagalog or watch movies to learn it. However, there are better methods than that in service to his goal.

- Focus relentlessly on your most important goals (a tip from Warren Buffet).

By doing these 3 things, I believe that greatness can be achieved quickly, provided that you set a sharp definition of it. Achieving greatness in the eyes of others, however, is a very different feat and a bit of a fickle / unhealthy one, in my opinion (e.g. just see the reactions to what Elon Musk is doing, I think he's great, but I'm pretty sure he has naysayers).

>Is i[t] VMware? Is it Ansible, Puppet or Chef?

The funny thing being that all of these things are applicable in a k8s-backed environment anyway. k8s is a container orchestrator and scheduler. You still need a platform (VMWare, AWS, GCloud) and configuration management separately. So, I guess the answer is "yes"?

>How are we dealing with node failures

First, in an ordinary system, "node failures" are rare. This thing that k8s encourages where the first response to a problem is "just kill the pod and hope it comes back OK on its own" is distasteful in many ways, and only further cements why MS-centric ops people are gung-ho. In my day, when there's a problem with a system, you divert traffic, take snapshot, analyze to figure out the reason it failed, and then prevent failures. Even in k8s-world, failures cost something, and it's bad practice to allow them to occur regularly in production (note that making "just reboot^H^H^H^Hschedule it" a routine is separate from being able to tolerate failures transparently).

Second, you use the same systems that k8s ingresses use internally: load balancers with health checks like HAPROXY, nginx, Envoy, etc.

> How are you making good useage of your compute, VMs?

First, not dedicating a bunch of it to redundant and unnecessary distributed systems mechanisms. k8s is not cheap or easy to run.

Second, there are robust toolkits and monitoring options for managing all kinds of workloads, including controlling scale. Depending on your platform and use case, there are a plethora of options. These problems are not new.

The crux of the issue is that k8s is misunderstood as a generalized toolkit for every common-but-not-trivial operational task, because that's how Google promotes it to maximize adoption and thus wedge themselves into a position of more control v. AWS. k8s is a complex multi-node container orchestrator and scheduler. If you didn't need one of those before you knew what k8s was, you probably don't need one now.

The article mentions that some sites use Monero and it is getting more prevalent, but it doesn't explain to readers the significance of that.

That aside, when Monero gets an easier to use Multi-signature capability, people won't even have to deposit onto the marketplace websites anymore. So when the government spends millions to take them down it won't seize anything of value and won't disrupt commerce one bit.

Before then, JP Morgan and Ernst & Young's open source private Ethereum transactions are a great new mixer for Bitcoin. JP Morgan's Zether and EY's Nightfall allow for erc20 transactions to be private. You can wrap Bitcoin into an Ethereum erc20 asset (WBTC) and clean it and unlink it for use back on the Bitcoin network. Dark Net Marketplaces can also just require private wrapped assets and inherit all of the multisig and contracting capabilities on the Ethereum network right now.

Bitcoin's Lightning Network can also unlink transactions, but you have to trust that no intermediary nodes are recording transactions. You can just make a payment channel between two addresses you happen control, and then send them onchain from the new address, OR Dark Net Markets can just have payment channels for deposits. It would make the government have to spend even more resources to make their own nodes to track transactions, or would simply just remove their onchain blockchain sleuthing capability.
Taiwan is not okay with the bill.

The Alarming Parallels Between 1929 and 2007 (2007)
I'm troubled about the revisionism regarding Marx, about what he did or didn't understand. He seems to have been mostly ignored by academic economists (not all) after a single attack by Böhm-Bawerk and everyone just concludes now that the law of value is false in a trivial way while ignoring some very obvious fixes to its logic which were very much present in Vol 3 (e.g. constant capital also adds value).

Neo-Ricardians took him seriously and the vast majority of people who dismiss him with snark today can't even reproduce what the initial debate regarding the LTV was and seem to have such a twisted idea of who Marx was that it never occurs to them that he was himself perfectly aware of the problems.

Hidden because their marketing page, that was featured in HN multiple times in the last few days, was just showing off the new features with no mention of a forced price increase.

> So what incentive does your agent have to negotiate a good deal on your behalf if she’s earning a price commission

That's a great question, but it's not unique to my situation... it's standard that agents split the commission. You could say that any agent or salesperson is never incentivized to give any buyer a deal on anything as long as they collect commission.

Secondly, we paid what we thought the house was worth. We're in a competetive market and had a hard budget. The house price came in below budget. As far as I'm concerned, we got a fine deal.

>Does the fact that people comply with invasion of privacy mean that the issue doesn't matter? Maybe it does if you don't think that the behavior of the masses can be manufactured.

By that same token, convincing people to be either pro-privacy or ambivalent to privacy is manufactured behavior, isn't it? If people vote against their interest, then who are we to force them one way or the other? Its hard to say without sounding harsh, but at some point, you have to draw the line on personal responsibility, and stop coddling people. Also, privacy is a relatively modern concept. When cities and towns were small, everyone got into everyone's business. Certainly, you can favor one position over the other because of your belief that it would lead to a better society.

There are lots of things here that reasonable people can discuss and agree or disagree on.

Executive Summary: ‘The vast majority only have one online subscription’
You've already said you never hire self-taught programmers so how would you know?

We have a lot of self-taught programmers in my generation in the UK (I think mainly because of the BBC micro programme for schools a few decades ago). I've seen awful CS educated programmers and I've seen awful self-taught ones.

The two best programmers I know, one was self-taught and one was not.

The worst programmer I've ever known was formally educated, could quote you reams of technical specs, advanced CS, and managed to write 20 lines of not working code in 3 months.

Extremely common. Most hedge funds buy what's called "alternative data" from vendors who aggregate it, like 7Park. The data is collected by providers who collect it from location telemetry, web scraping, satellite imagery, etc. Scraping from web applications is one of the more common forms.

The more successful quant funds will often build out internal research teams to do this. For example, both Two Sigma and Millennium have (not so well advertised) research teams devoted to this kind of data collection internally.

> Why can't you let developers admin their own network?

Being a good software developer doesn't mean you're a good network administrator or good at desktop support. And even if you are, a developer is paid more so it's a poor use of their time.

I'm all for devs having admin access on their own machines, there are too many instances where it's needed, and reasonable exemptions from default policies when they conflict with their work. But a "conflict" would be things like anti-malware software making builds fail, not merely making builds 10% slower.

Totally agreed on the 3xxx(G|H) parts not being Zen 2, and really misleading on that front. Though they're mostly underclocked with lots of room for boost, so competitive to Intel's. Also the onboard vega gfx almost doesn't suck by comparison.
Well, yeah, sure. Money goes from me, into the "middle of the table", and then everyone takes their share. It's important to say, though, that with or without my agent my buying price was going to be the same regardless... however, the seller may receive slightly less. I think in practice you'll find it difficult to approach the process with a mindset of "if I don't use an agent, the owner will give me a 3% discount".

I had a very hard time getting interviews for the longest time. It turned out that the main problem was my LaTeX PDF resume and the class file I had made for it. The automatic parsers attached to every online application had a very hard time extracting the information appropriately, and I believe as a consequence that that information never made it to hiring managers' eyeballs.

If submitting to online applications, either use a very simply formatted LaTeX class file or do it in Word. Everything reads Word now, since it's basically fancy XML.

Historically the only reason Intel has won on absolute top performance gaming FPS is because their raw single-threaded performance has beaten AMD due to most games still being bad / ineffective with multiple threads. For the first time in many processor generations this may actually not be true because of Intel’s stumble in their 10 nm transition.
One does not need to refer to the brain research. According to physics everything is predetermined and follows from the initial conditions. So free will is an illusion. Also according to physics time flow is another illusion as time-space is just a wave function on 4d surface.

Yet these illusions are strong and people have been writing about them for at least for 2500 years. Epicurus effectively suggested to believe in gods since the alternative, physical determinism, is just hopeless and useless.

Zen+ has about the same IPC as the Intel processors from when it was released, the problem was just lower clockspeeds. The single threaded gap was somewhere around 5%, not the 40%+ of Bulldozer.

Zen 2 raises IPC by 15%, and raises clock speeds by a solid 10% or more. Single threaded Zen 2 performance is not even a slight concern for me.

Add 9% to the benchmark result this entire thread is about, because this engineering sample was not running at the specified boost frequency that the 3950X will have. Intel has nothing to compete against that... it should be uncontested.

On Epyc, their clock speeds were generally comparable to Intel's, and the single threaded performance was already great there, except for a few specialty processors that Intel released for servers that don't care about high core counts. Epyc 2 stands to completely annihilate any advantage Intel had left.

AMD Zen has always used less power than Intel for each unit of work done, which was one of the original surprises, so... power consumption is absolutely not favoring Intel.

I really feel like you're mentally comparing to the old Bulldozer Opteron processors, based on the concerns you listed.
