This sounds like a classic case of build vs. buy. If analytics are not your core product, inventing a new solution is going to cost you more than buying an existing analytics solution. There are dozens, a few of which have even been in the news the last few days due to acquisitions.

I'm not going to endorse any of them over the others, but I will say you'll be better off using a 3rd party than coding this yourself.
I don't think you fully understand how BGP is currently used. None of this would happen if all ISPs had proper route filters.
I agree that IPNS is pretty unusable (do names still expire after 1 day?).

Last I saw, the IPFS devs seemed to be pretty excited by a pub/sub mechanism they were building into the system; potentially to replace the workings of IPNS.

Is that a stable or useful alternative for indexing changing content like a blog? How decentralised is the pub/sub (i.e. do new subscribers need to contact the publisher, or are messages persisted for a time in the network)?

What a strange thing to get angry at me for.
You seem fairly ruthlessly pragmatic on the issue.

Yet, you take issue with a murderer being offered anything that could be considered a comfort.

Assuming he's completely severed from society, what difference is it making? I'm genuinely curious.

If we sent him out into space with a couch and a chess partner, is the "closure" of anyone victimized the responsibility of anyone other than the victims?

It's harsh, but no one can "give them closure", and it's not clear that watching the perpetrator die is the one true form of final closure.
You don't have to be a GMail user for Google to end up with a copy of a large percentage of your eMail.

Because lots of users do have GMail a lot of your messages will end up on their servers.

However, that's not to say it's not a good idea to practice good hygiene yourself and find a provider that suits your goals.

"Side note: recently duck.com was acquired by DuckDuckGo. I hope there is a plan for them to rebrand as simply "Duck" because if I recommend the search engine to someone who is not as embedded in the internet as I am (nerd), they often won't use the service based on the name alone."

China is literally a permanent member of the Security Council. They are one of the UN strongholds of power in every possible sense.
I thought TDP was Thermal Design Power?
Because China wanted to be part of the UN. If they don't want the UN to have any saying in their matters they should leave and face the consequences. I don't know if this says more about China or the UN, to be honest.
All memory access is through the single I/O die, so neither the new Ryzen nor the new Epyc are technically NUMA.

However, because all cores in a single chiplet share a single L3 cache, doing NUMA-like optimizations will still yield significant benefits.

AFAICT.

Any thoughts on how? I have two options in my area, both of which are miserably slow and overpriced.

How is this bill letting the government “take over the Internet?” That’s like saying a government bill that bans dumping toxic materials into rivers is “letting the government take over” rivers.

ISPs are “free” to run their businesses as they like; they just can’t sell my personal data without asking me first.

I didn't know, so I had to look it up:

au·teur·ism. noun. The definition of auteurism is the belief that a movie should primarily reveal the director's feelings and beliefs as if he has written it himself. The theory that the director's vision should be clearly seen in a movie is an example of auterism.
Yeah there is definitely some redundancy here, but there were reasons I wrote these tools. There are multiple sources that provide instruction timings. Agner's instruction tables are amazing, but they cover only a single microarchitecture at a time, so it's really difficult to compare multiple microarchitectures. Intel's online intrinsics guide only shows instruction latencies of few latest microarchitectures, etc... Basically before AsmGrid it was time consuming for me to verify whether the instructions I have selected would perform well on a majority of machines that I target.

I wrote AsmGrid initially for myself to explore AsmDB data and to spot possible errors. Then I wrote CULT just for fun as I wanted to see whether it's possible to write such tool based on AsmJit. CULT basically iterates over AsmJit instruction database, checks whether instructions (with various signatures) can be executed, and then creates JIT code for executing them either in parallel or sequencially. It works really well and the testing can be easily done in user space.

In other words, I wanted a table of instructions and their timings where I can compare several microarchitectures at the same time during development and AsmGrid provides that. The only downside is that I cannot test all microarchitectures myself and when I make changes to support more instructions a re-run is necessary.

It's entirely possible you have pure intentions, but I know nothing about (and therefore have no implicit trust in) your organization, so it would be a huge leap of faith for me to even consider putting this amount and degree of personal information into a random website.

The fact that your privacy policy's fine print allows you to use the information for something other than the express purpose at hand seriously undermines that, even if you have no actual intentions of doing anything shady.
If you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty, you can basically just rsync a given local folder with your `/keybase` folder on a cron every so often.

I have always thought this conspiracy. I have Comcast Gigabit and more often than not the first speed test always caps around 250-275. If I run more than 2 times I get 980-990 on average. I wondered if it was some kind of prioritization at play here.

This is because China lacks the rule of law and the CPC considers the very notion a threat to their power. They're probably right. The rule of law would diminish the CPC's authoritarian principals.

> Use iCloud that's it if you're in the apple word.

Does iCloud automatically save versions yet? One of the default features, IMO, of the Dropbox/Box/WorkDocs/OneDrive world is that a history of saved versions is easily accessible for a single document. Last I checked, iCloud didn't have this one feature.
Hopefully AMD will release details on the next ThreadRipper iteration before the 3950X release in September.

If the top end ThreadRipper is just two of these glued together then there's not really any other choice for a workstation build.

But if the next ThreadRipper goes further and has 4 core complexes on a single MMU then it have insane performance.
I've had the same experience though I only noticed that the speed test and pages related to it ran very fast but I got no comparable boost to other traffic.
I think even on 1st gen Zen processor intel had performance/watt advantage though the gap was lower. It's Zen 2 that has completely obliterated intel in performance/watt. Which is almost a bigger shock than the AMD taking the performance crown. Taking both the performance and efficiency crown in a single generation specially when it's not even a full new generation is beyond impressive. Of course it was only feasible with the foundation build up by Zen 1 but it's still very encouraging after the major stagnation that was there in desktop processor for a long while.

> It does make me thinking about how this could be useful in the context of Futures and async/await.

At its core, when you pass a Future (really, a chain of futures, but in the end that's still a Future) to an executor, the executor creates a stack for it. An executor with multiple futures will then switch between them, sorta similar to the code seen here. The details depend on the exact executor, of course, but the fundamental idea is the same.

One of the nice things about the futures design is that you can know exactly how big the stack needs to be, so the resizing stuff isn't an issue.
> The CIO admitted that he had been approached and explained that he had informed the VP that IT already had a project with SAP to deliver what the VP needed. “Yes, but that won’t be ready for me to use for three years, and I need something today,” retorted the VP. The CIO was silent. Then the CEO asked the VP, “I’ve known you for ten years. You don’t seem like someone who would do something to harm the company. Why did you do this?” The VP hit right back: “Since I started this digital customer acquisition program, we’ve increased revenue $1M per month. Before we were losing revenue. If you want, I can shut it down right now. What do you want me to do?”

Maybe not for this particular project, but another interpretation of that is "who cares about security if we're making money" which is a very dangerous argument as well.

Dropbox doesn't care about individual customers. The real money for them is in the enterprise. There, different priorities are at play.

Unfortunately, I've been a Dropbox user for many years but I'm really tempted to switch away.
> assuming same QA.

There is a good amount of evidence that this is a poor assumption in general. If you wanted to compare a specific brand/model then it could be true but I suspect the double the price metric given will stop holding.

But Apple internal/external monitors have had a great track record to date so it follows that they have superior QA.

We had a post here last week about soda taxes in Philadelphia and it seemed like common sense that by making sugary drinks more expensive, you are encouraging people to consume it less, which results in fewer people drinking it.

We can discuss this with no implication that there's a static amount of soda consumption in the world, or that people want to be obese from consuming it. We understand life is a series of choices, "when to consume sugary drinks" makes up some of them, and that by disincentivizing that choice, people are more likely to choose a different beverage.

Nobody "chooses" homelessness, but like anything else, becoming / staying homeless often is the result of numerous choices, some of which are easier than others for various reasons. When you artificially remove bad consequences from some of those choices, it is not surprising that those choices are made more often.
You can't un-execute someone.

You can't give a person two decades of their life back either.

Sure, it's better to only take away two decades from someone than all of their remaining years but not as much as people like to believe. Especially when you consider that earlier years have a much higher utility than later years. And later years have again higher utility if you could freely spend your earlier years creating a life you would enjoy, in particular have kids to watch them grow up.

I see you're using react for the frontend. Is the option bar for the reporting objects (on the left - e.g. for charts) dynamic or static? I'm currently creating something similar and planned to use something like JSON form (https://github.com/jsonform/jsonform) in order to create a dynamic option bar.
They have been working on this and you can actually do it today even if it's not very well documented (again, haven't tried myself):

I agree in the frictionless vacuum sense, but I think you're missing an element of how firms work.

Just spitballing, but it's incredibly non-trivial to both aggregate skilled labor and organize them into an effective entity. Being eager about tearing down and spinning up these organizations to keep each entity single-purpose seems like it would be a lot less efficient (and competitive) than taking advantage of an existing well-run organization to do things that are somewhat related.

It's not hard to make your bike less attractive to steal. Big fat D lock. Shitty looking seat. Locking nuts for your wheels. Parking in a rack amongst more attractive bikes. Taking your bike into your apartment. Not giving a fuck about what your coworkers think about your bike parked in the loading dock.

If you are commuting, I wouldn't pay more than $100 for your bike anyway. Unless you are biking 100 miles a ride, you'd be hard pressed to notice a huge difference between a scratched up steel frame trek you found on craiglist and tuned up vs. some carbon fiber precision instrument imported from Italy. My maintenance costs are taking it to the bike shop once a year for a tune up - $60 and they give me new pads. I haven't had a flat since I bought gatorskins, and even though I suck at changing them, an inner tube is cheap and takes less than 30 mins to change. Those dollar or two rides on bike share really add up if you start relying on it heavily.

I get that it sucks hauling in a bike on a packed subway, but in the u.s. that's only really a concern for commuters in nyc. Even L.A. is a bike utopia once you get comfortable with traffic grazing your elbow and cutting you off all the time; it requires thick skin, and planning your routes a little differently, but you will always be faster than a car in traffic due to filtering.
I haven't used Facebook in nearly 8 years, however to say there are alternatives is specious. For example, I have recently learned I missed my first high school reunion because it was only posted on Facebook.

I still use dropbox right now for YNAB4 (The nYNAB offering is terrible and expensive), but this looks enticing. I haven't looked into using iCloud but the prospect of syncing during power nap and not having to use burn my VPN quota for dropbox (GFW blocks dropbox now, super annoying) is really interesting.

2TB with iCloud also applies to a family, and serves as iOS backup storage as well.

$10 for 2TB is great compared to what Dropbox gets you. I'm guessing no notification spam for upgrading too...

The main barrier to P2P isn't cost or bandwidth or algorithms. The main barrier is NAT. As long as IPv4 with P2P-unfriendly symmetric NAT is the dominant way of accessing the network, P2P will remain hard and niche.

One ugly hack to get around one problem (IPv4 address scarcity) has single-handedly transformed the structure of the Internet from a mesh to a top-down monopoly-driven medium. NAT is like literally Satan.

It wouldn't be quite as evil if it weren't so often symmetric, but for some odd reason symmetric is what many vendors implement. I can't for the life of me understand why symmetric NAT exists when the same scalability can be achieved with port restricted cone NAT that falls back to symmetric-like behavior if port preservation is not possible due to resource exhaustion. That would yield working P2P >90% of the time instead of <5% of the time.
