Well, that cleared that up then! Gosh I had no idea that the solution would be so simple.

It does shock me that the people who've had their whole infrastructure compromised and held to ransom by viruses and the people who've been held over a barrel by suppliers or had vast amounts of money burned by being locked into a dozen vendor contracts for the same service are so silly and hysterical about it when the solution is as simple as "identify when you need to be best in class and stay small everywhere else".
To the extent that we are going to consider data harvesting an inherently harmful business model that needs to be regulated, there is no reason to single out ISPs.

As a practical matter, it might make a lot of sense to start with ISPs, though, because you get more bang for the buck there if you don't think you would be able to pass some kind of all encompassing data harvesting regulation.

If we aren't going to consider data harvesting to be an inherently harmful business model, it still makes some sense to regulate it in the case of ISPs because ISPs are internet infrastructure. If ISPs are data harvesting, it means that you cannot use the internet without being subjected to data harvesting. Furthermore, your ISP has a lot more information on you than most sites you visit will have.

If ISPs cannot data harvest, than at least I've got a chance to avoid it on the net. Sure, it may be hard, and I may have to avoid the most popular services like Twitter, Google, Facebook, and the like, but at least it is theoretically possible.
It is not about disagreeing per se, it is just plain wrong.

He made a statement, about not being able to put trial in the same country, I also made a statement about it is a future not a bug.
And the reply I got was discussion were not mature.

Had the first sentence been a question as to why, you cant have the trial inside the own country, I would have replied about one country two system. But since he made a statement, I presume he does understand the topic on a certain level. May be that was my wrong assumption.

( Not to mention the article linked explains the fear of doing so )

Good for you. How is your FTP file synchronisation going? Sarcasm aside, surely you know how much of an outlier you are. Your comment sounds pretty limited on empathy for other lifestyles.
Isn't finance IT in general just kinda boring?

I mean isn't it often legacy software written in COBOL for archaic mainframes? Or just plain out boring stuff like data juggling and report printing?
I don't assume this. I think the west would have to give up some stuff they see as a "need" currently and we can sustain this population.
Amazon to End Its Restaurant Delivery Service
Might be true but I wouldn't take the risk. It's not only about ads when they have access to your emails, location history and track what do you do on the internet.
The single reason why I prefer Dropbox over the other file storage / sync products is that their sync client works so much better on Mac. It eats fewer resources, is quicker to start and sync once started, doesn't need to 'restart its sync engine', and has the most flexible selective sync. The addition of 'smart sync' to personal accounts is a nice recent addition.

I don't care for all this new functionality targeted at collaboration / corporate use, and I hope Dropbox will start offering a barebones 'I only need to sync files between devices' plan. I've been happily paying $120/y for that for years and hope they let me continue to do just that, or at least stay out of my way they way they have in the past.
Because they don’t add any concession statements around how CCP has no social power or respect in Hong Kong. The article was so sterile it understated the need for autonomy in Hong Kong. The questions it answered were loaded and the answers were Xi Pooh approved.

I'd love to have something like:

* Kernel, drivers and userland I can compile on my own if I want to

* 4-8 GB RAM

* 4 core Cortex A72 or better wide out-of-order core (no A53, A55 or similar crap, unless it's a big-little configuration)

* Good 64-128 GB low latency high IOPS eMMC. Too many devices penny pinch here creating a slow user experience.

* 4G (600 Mbps+) or preferably 5G

* Good OLED screen, 1080x1920 is probably enough. Although I do like S9+ 1440x2960 screen

* Stereo speakers, front and back camera, GPS (+ glonass, etc.), standard set of sensors.

* USB-C and headphone jack

* MicroSD slot that can actually read & write over 100 megabytes per second.

* NO ability for baseband to read and write memory arbitrarily; embedded USB connection or something.

* Price below $1000

> "Ken Kozlowski, a former C-133 crew chief who served as chief mechanic and flight engineer on a privately owned Cargomaster that flew until 2008. Through monastic devotion to understanding every system on the C-133 and by developing his own maintenance procedures, Kozlowski kept the civilian Cargomaster flying as a bush airplane—and slamming onto remote Alaska gravel runways—nearly 40 years after the Air Force let it go."

My favorite part so far.

EDIT: Adding another interesting bit:

"Was the Cargomaster dangerous? Ten had crashed, and 61 men had been killed. In 1964, the C-133’s accident rate per 100,000 flying hours stood at 2.7, while the C-130’s was 1.9. The overall Air Force rate was 7.7."

7.7 is higher than I would have expected. I wonder what planes are pulling up the numbers? The article makes this plane sound like a mysterious and dangerous machine, but 2.7 is well below 7.7...
Internet infrastructure is very complex and some minor telecom configuration mistake can easily cause non-optimal routing of packets. It seems that the accident is caused by an error by a Swiss data center, but somehow Chinese telecom is blamed.
Threat Intelligence Data Storage
Are you diagnosed with a condition? If not, it sounds like your problem is psychological.
There's a strong case for decoupling the process flows, requirements, business analysis, scoping, current state understanding; from the implementation. Maybe even having a separate consulting firm do that work up front before going to bid on the ERP.

Many ERP implementations fail because of wrong assumptions about the business, or inflexibility of the client to modify their business process to fit the ERP. Enter expensive customizations.

These types of projects also affect peoples' jobs and that can bring up fears of being replaced that can quickly derail morale on a project. Successful projects empower the people with hands on the keyboard who know and live those processes, to own and define their future process too. When the consultants or executives are making future business process decisions without that experience, it is risky.

If that referendum were to be held in simple yes/no terms it would be a mess for exactly the same reason as Brexit - all the 'yes' voters would be voting based on a different understanding of the outcome.

Thanks for the link, I didn't know about CULT (but I use asmjit, it's a great project).

I do feel like there is a lot of redundancy in this area. You are probably aware of Agner's instruction tables, and he makes the source available for his latency testing tools. You are probably aware of uops.info which has latency/throughput numbers for instructions online and in XML format. Now there is CULT (or actually CULT came before uops.info but I wasn't aware of it), and ASMDB.

There is the AIDA64 instruction latency thing giving the tables at:

http://instlatx64.atw.hu/

There is also uarch-bench which I wrote, which has slightly different goals than just getting the latency/throughput of instructions, but still does a lot of that and has a lot of overlap in other areas.

I have seen more as well, but I can't remember all of them.

Unless you love is really writing these kind of tools (mine is not), it would be nice if there was one winner here: one canonical source for instruction timings, available in whatever format, one test application for new platforms, etc. Then efforts like "please run this on your new hardware" won't be split among various people: right now sometimes Agner gets new hardware first, sometimes the uops.info guys, sometimes the Instlat guy, etc.

Let a thousand flowers bloom and all that, but personally I think this space is due for some collaboration...
I'd say the rise of white nationalism is pretty meaningful and its impact on this administration (and foreign policy) has had significant consequences.
It is a pity to see you being voted down, since the use of pesticides in the wine industry (in volumes which exceed some of the other agricultural industries that give consumers pause) has been a matter of fairly broad public concern for a few years now, see e.g. [0][1][2]

I feel fortunate that in my country, wines in the production of which pesticides were not used, are readily available and for comparable prices to the other wines. In many markets, however, consumers do not have that choice.

Okay, I am trying to have a conversation here.

So according to you, the situation of boys like "more military and violent" type robotic toys and girls like "more creative" type robotics toys, could be caused by social construct (role modeling and social pressure).

In that case, what should we do as society? Should we let this social construct be because it is harmless? Should we uproot this social construct as society because this construct is harmful for children?

The second question is what do you mean by "let people be people" in the parent's context? Should DJI produce another kind of robotics toys (which is less violent)? Or if a kid who happens to be a girl and does not like "violent" robotics toys should accept the situation and just find another toy? Or she should learn to love "violent" robotics toys?
If Google shut down operations tomorrow, do you really think you would be unable to find information on the weather, restaurant reviews, use a calendar, or find out who the president was in 1936? Other than the calendar, it's not like they actually keep this information anywhere. Just links to it. I'm guessing that three years or so later you'd be hard-pressed to remember why you thought Google was the only choice for this.
I generally agree with you, but

> Our prison system is barbaric and the solution isn't to just kill all criminals

I never said it was. I think DP should be reserved for organized crime leaders, serial killers, and other people who have repeatedly shown that they are fundamentally incompatible with a good society.

A crime of passion such as a husband killing the man cheating with his wife does not necessarily deserve DP and would be a candidate for reform.
The really fun thing is that it requires work to break this.

By default, pages on the web progressively load gifs and images. You have to put in more work just to make your user experience worse.

It's the same thing I see on some sites that use `div`s as links instead of normal `a` tags. Someone had to go to all of the trouble of adding click handlers, tab indexes, extra styling and classes, just so the page would be less semantic for screen readers.

There did seem to be some resistance to the idea that executions would be simply drifting off - suffering seemed to be a desired part of it :-(

> One somewhat disturbing trend I've seen at some of the largest corporations- cut/outsource IT support staff to near egregiously low levels to "save money".

I see the opposite too, they just staff up on tons of IT people thinking they have a resource shortage, and end up with massive departments that deliver just a little as before.

> It also seems that C level folks are hesitant to hire boutique/small shops that have industry experience and years of experience in favor of big consulting.

The reason this makes sense is because they need to work with companies that have enough resources that they can be really inefficient and have enough capital that they can run for long periods of time and not go under. It’s more of an insurance policy, the quality of the work would be better at the smaller shop of course but they likely couldn’t complete it due to bureaucracy.
But until that point, you might have a good enough product: One that has momentum and requires effort to corrupt, that users are aware of and have expectations about, and that presents value that people otherwise might not have known is possible. Control being lost doesn't necessitate that all the value & impact is lost with it.

> I'd say the rise of white nationalism is pretty meaningful and its impact on this administration (and foreign policy) has had significant consequences.

Like what?

Edit: no really, I'd like to know what you mean by this. As far as I can tell, white nationalists make up an extreme minority voting bloc, and are explicitly denounced and distanced from the current administration. I have absolutely no idea what foreign policy decisions "oshitsdom" is referring to, which have supposedly been influenced by a "rise of white nationalism". That would be a very serious event, and I genuinely want to know if there's some legitimate way of squinting at our shared reality which could give that impression.

Edit 2 because I'm rate limited:
This is not a rhetorical question, except that nobody has answered honestly. It is a question that is answerable. To form it more explicitly: "Name an example of a consequential foreign policy decision of the current administration which is white nationalist in nature (invokes a desire to create a state where citizenship is contingent on having white skin), and which has clearly been influenced the a cultural force of a 'rise of white nationalism'."
Thank you for putting this here. White nationalism has blinded many people who are unwittingly pushing the agenda to move past this difficult conversation.

I've been a Dropbox user for many years but I'm looking for a replacement. What drives me nuts and hasn't gotten better over the years is their truly awful Python-based macOS client software.

It is constantly burning a ton of CPU/battery. It's always at or near the top of Activity Monitor's list in the Energy tab. It seems like their app constantly reacts to any file system activity, even if that activity is outside the Dropbox directory. My file system is busy all day long from building in Xcode and other things.

What I need is for Dropbox to improve that by making an efficient, battery-saving, native macOS client. What I don't need is what is announced in this post.

The two other things that I hate are the fact that they don't support symlinks and that they use a kernel extension. All of these things together made me start the search for a replacement.

Does anybody know how the CPU/power impact of Microsoft's and Google's offerings are on the Mac?
Have you considered that FizzBuzz is a warmup question to see if you're worthy of a properly challenging question?

The interviewer has multiple responsibilities, one of them is candidate experience. If I start with the "challenging" question and the candidate isn't ready, then I learn nothing other than they can't do it and the candidate suffers, completely lost.

But, if I start with a middle-to-low bar question, then I can always get data and easily extend or follow-up the question with something more challenging appropriate to your skill & experience.
> Your comment sounds pretty limited on empathy for other lifestyles.

That problem is on your end I'm afraid, no judgment call on other lifestyles was implied or intended, I merely documented how I do stuff without commenting on how you do stuff or how I feel you should do stuff.

In a nutshell: I'm susceptible to being distracted with an ease that makes toddlers jealous and because of that I have to seriously restrict the kind of effect my environment has on me or I'll happily burn up my whole life without achieving anything. In order to do that I've decided that smartphones - besides being a security risk and a tracking device - are not for me.

Global Emissions Rose the Most in 7 Years, BP Review Shows
I think CP/NET is actually pretty close to what you're describing - what the 'server' runs on is actually arbitrary (it just needs to implement the protocol and allow file access), and there is an implementation for unix computers floating around somewhere. The clients were running CP/M 2.2 but with a kind of stub BIOS/BDOS (it sounds like it fit in a 4KB ROM of what's basically a thin client) that mostly just had the network interface code.

On an FPGA, just tying together a bunch of cores with 8-bit FIFOs to communicate would be both very cheap and very high performance. I have a simple setup with a Z80 running CP/M at ~80 MHz on a Digilent "Arty" Artix-7 board, and you could probably cram 8 of them on the chip if each core only had a cache backed by DRAM.
If you want to use it with DNS names, yes.

I have a hunch that IPNS is just broken in its implementation (manifesting as "unusably slow") but I haven't yet had the spare time to investigate this theory..
Indeed it has been suggested that early forms of life produced oxygen as toxin as an evolutionary advantage.

I think the increased visibility of extremist groups even if said groups aren't increasing in number fits the recent trend of increased polarization. Both sides are screaming their heads off about "look-at all these terrible people on the other side"

I used to run OpenSuse, when I installed it, I basically just went for the express install, which formatted my drive with xfs. I had dropbox setup, and one day a popup told me it was no longer supported. They decided my file system was not secure enough to store my own files. Their solution was I should repartition my drive using ext4. Then reinstall. That sounded like a bunch of work I didn't want to do, so I googled for competitors. Found one, and was able to import all my files in a few minutes. Haven't had a reason to switch back since.

Today I'm an Arch user, and my filesystem is EXT4... but I haven't found a reason to switch back. The new service is working just fine.
Cool that you are keeping this alive. I had the Zorba, it was very interesting there was a program that would let you swap disk parameters around so it could read a variety of different disk formats. It made program/data sharing with other people simple.

> ...they would have to have the drugs administered by medical staff

As they do in the UK I believe. I was once in a branch of boots IIRC (boots is a UK pharmacist) in a midlands city where there was plenty of drugs problem. A rattily-dressed guy came in and they gave him half a measuring cup of some thick green liquid which he drank in half a minute, while he chatted with them. They were watching him carefully, 2 of the pharmacists.

I dunno but I guess that was methadone.

There's no reason to assume that they'd simply hand out the stuff, and if it was by medical staff who expected to be taken as they watched, that's ok I think.
I'm completely aware of the risks, so I try to keep my stuff they can keep track off as mundane as possible. Unfortunately when it comes to emails someone will always have access to them. My plan is eventually to get something like that Purism phone for more personal stuff. There are no perfect solutions.
"by making desperate people’s lives worse."
