I love how you automatically take what is obviously PR speak at face value. Of course they're going to say that. That's what they have to say. It's now 2019. When are people going to learn that just because somebody says something doesn't mean it means what you want it to mean.
Thank You @lbotos; I will email you as soon as I'm back to work.
I'm somewhat astonished that the article doesn't even mention HavenCo, the world's first (and likely last) attempt at a sovereign data haven, based in Sealand:

Countries become countries by declaring themselves as such and at least one other country accepting it in the normative way - accepting currency, passports of citizens, an embassy...

one can argue that you might need more than one other country to accept you.

Countries maintain themselves as countries by having the power to repel anyone trying to take away their stuff, although this also is not the only method of maintenance required.
I don't really think Secure Enclave is really increasing your security here. Your private key is always kept encrypted:
- For OpenSSH - with their 16-rounds custom bcrypto
- For OpenSSL/PCKS - with AES-256/PBDKF2
That renders your key virtually unbreakable as long as you use a reasonable password

On top of that, you can only upload public - this is also secure as long you use proper crypto (RSA or Ed25519)

Note that the 1P variant costs only $4,955, or under $80 per core. The consumer chips cost roughly $50/core, making this the flattest ramp I can personally remember.
I’m curious how you don’t know that you cut into the capsule. It’s supposedly a white powder, wouldn’t it make a cloud?

Also if this is possible wouldn’t you put sone contingencies in place, like mount the grinder on limited travel arm or something? Sound’s like they just went at it with a $30 DeWalt.

The whole thing seems kind of ridiculous.
Something to keep in mind is the fact that even (or especially) within agencies like the NSA, secret operations are kept secret from every staff member who doesn’t need to know about it for the op to succeed (higher-level people too).

Also, they know they have a public image problem since Snowden and are doing everything they can to change that.

It’s likely you can trust the individuals you saw to be nice people. But that doesn’t mean the agency as a whole can be trusted not to compromise the digital privacy and security of American citizens (not to mention citizens of other countries).

EDIT: As another commenter noted, the NSA is unfortunately a combination of red and blue teams within a single agency. So when you see positive signals that they’re working towards improving security, don’t believe for a moment that they aren’t working equally hard towards pwnage.
Yes, I clearly need to understand his actual workflow to know where (and how) to "hook" the review process. Thank you for the feedback.
A Travel Nightmare: Waking Up Cold and Alone in a Darkened Plane
So all of this makes what they actually do as a living okay? You know, dragnet surveillance, physically wiretapping Google's internal network, backdooring encryption, etc.? Since when are we trusting the face value of anything somebody at the NSA says? Where's the skepticism gone from the Snowden days? Like, these people aren't our friends. Any code contributions from organisations like this, which do not have our best interests at heart and at worst actively attempt to subvert efforts at hardening encryption and other security efforts, need to be combed over with a fine-tooth comb.

Hell, as a European, the NSA is very clearly the enemy. Their goal is to protect US citizens, maybe, with very unconstitutional methods. They have little to no interest in the privacy or legal rights of people outside of the US, and yet have an unimaginable global reach.
As a socialist, this article is moronic, almost offensively so.
>> If IIHS is opposed to the name ‘Autopilot,’ presumably they are equally opposed to the name ‘Automobile.

My best attempt to understand this cryptic comment is as saying that Tesla intends "Autopilot" to mean a system for "piloting" an "automobile", unrelated to the common use of the word in aviation, where it's an "automated pilot(ing system)".

Even if that is the case, they should be aware of the potential for confusion with "automated pilot" and for the risk that this confusion entails.

>Libra can give people an option of a stable currency and chance against bad central bank

In the future we will have strong criticisms of the US Dollar. It historically has not been stable over long periods of time. However, the US government has nearly forced every country to doing business in USD.

This is great for ease of business, but given how low interest rates are, I expect a historic inflation of USD in my lifetime.

Given its impossible to hire someone at Minimum Wage(2019), I believe we have inflation that is not being recorded with the US federal reserve. 2%/yr seems... fake.
I believe they are trying to make money out of other services by commoditizing internet. It seems unlikely that this aggressive pricing is to elbow out of the competitors because in this age, the tech companies normally have short-lived monopoly and long bets don't make much sense.

The term Socialism is often used for shock effect, but yes this article isn't about socialism, or even anything new. Just because something has to do with a social project and sharing resources doesn't make it socialism. Capitalist societies are still social structures, with communal resources and shared spaces.

Socialism and Communism are specifically to do with shared ownership and control of capital resources. Feely choosing to give things away isn't socialism, or inherently anti-capitalist. It's simply the exercise of one of the freedoms of private ownership of one's goods or labour - the freedom to share it or give it away.
I observed that the statement "I remain unconvinced that a warmer environment automatically and without exception translates to high humidity and mold" - while absolutely a personal observation - was a non-sequitur as no one was making that claim.

Was it a non-sequitur?

I then made a personal observation that architecture was also important, using a similar anecdotal construction that you did. So clearly I don't have a problem with anecdotal evidence. I present a similar anecdotal observation at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14876398#14878461 .

I then ended up with the comment that I don't disagree with your comment, because it's clearly true, just like how other factors are also involved.

If you look through my history you'll see I have a long history of making similar observations for other posters. I see four such on the first page of my comments history.

If this was before 2015, there's a chance the person giving the talk about inclusivity was my father-in-law; I know in the last few years of his career there he got involved in the push for diversity. He always talked very fondly of his career at the NSA.

I think in a lot of ways the NSA is a better workplace than any silicon valley tech company; you don't really have to worry about profitability, there's an enormous breadth of interesting work to be done, and you get to work with a lot of really talented people (I think the NSA is the largest employer of mathematicians in the US). Of course there are downsides too, like the low pay (set by Congress) and the constant drug tests and polygraphs.

Based on my discussions with him, I believe that the organization has two conflicting goals; to improve the IT security of the US and its allies, and to weaken the IT security of everyone else. And there are historical examples of the NSA doing both. But internally apparently there is a lot of debate about what the NSA should be doing, especially post Snowden. So yeah, I can believe that plenty of people at the NSA are deservedly proud of their work. Not everyone there is a cynical government drone working to undermine IT security globally. But of course when the NSA starts contributing to your project, you don't know which of their two goals they're working towards...

As an aside, my father-in-law is a very passionate mathematician, and in his retirement he just published a book on some interesting and approachable topics in mathematics that much of the HN crowd would probably find interesting:

If the NSA wanted to add a backdoor, they would likely not do it in a patch openly contributed by them.
I was setting up Windows servers 15 years ago, the company was chuffed to be using special secure NSA tweaked versions of the OS, which was nice of them...
Moreover, AVX2 operates at full frequency on Zen 2. AVX-512 heavily downclocks CPU; not sure about AVX2 loads on Intel right now (some people complained about AVX2 throttling on Skylake X).
Except TSMC is also on track with their 5nm plans for volume production in 2020 while Intel has been stuck on 10nm for years with "promises" of 7nm ...

Accidents like this don’t happen in the West/civilized world, this type of events only happens to people who are less scrupulous and (dare I say) not as intelligent as our scientists are.

On a more serious note, the “Chernobyl” tv series needs to be commended for showing that institutional lying and hiding things under the rug is indeed a global phenomenon, its viewers’ reaction shows that.
Any commonly used software that benefits from AVX-512?
It's a general truism that when you lose some faculty, the brain reallocates the space normally devoted to that faculty.

If you lose a finger, the brain remaps and makes your remaining fingers more sensitive. Blind people are known to be better at echolocation, which is part of what the tapping of their cane provides.
Not serve-y but RPCS3 benefits a lot from those.
No, bad idea. Test or check reviews for your common workloads first, then choose. New Zen cores quite powerful and there are many gotchas with AVX execution. In most cases I can see AMD would be better overall or offer good value.

You're putting a lot of strange qualifications on whether you consider a company to be a capitalist entity. Why must it be publicly traded? Why must "rich owners" profit to the optimum extent (and how do you quantify that)?

I don't agree with your criteria. And asking for "lifetime" warranties is not what you originally claimed.

But, looking around at some of the "highly durable" objects I have that were made by profit-seeking companies:

- books

- furniture (Møller teak chairs from the 60s)

- All-Clad pans, Le Creuset enamel dutch oven

- Wüsthof chef's knife

- Barbour waxed cotton jacket

- Iron Heart denim

- Good, repairable shoes (Crockett & Jones, Oakstreet Bootmakers)
They are stuck with intel because of thunderbolt.
Intel is known for aggressive licensing terms with their business partners, so I'm sure Apple can't do it anytime soon.
I agree with your point, limiting public discourse and transparency through business practices is more malicious than simply trying to increase efficiency by negotiating lower prices.

That said, brave suppliers are capable of shifting the balance of power. Think about it, if "Tamazon" drops an efficient supplier for one of their competitors, Tamazon is going to expose themselves to a competitor who picks up that supplier - likely a competitor who's trying to break Tamazon's monopoly.

Then, suddenly, Tamazon's competitor is offering the consumer a superior purchase option.

If I was the supplier, I wouldn't get afraid, I'd get even. I'd go to every Tamazon competitor I could find and convince them to offer my product at wholesale and then give a scathing testimony to the anti-trust regulator.
Interesting to see how well the fruit and veg grows during the winter periods with less sunlight. Maybe they are smaller?
Aviation fuel taxes currently pay for ATC funding to a large degree. It’s more nuanced than a bunch of private planes congesting the skies not paying their fair share.

One of my biggest concerns about a privatized system is the effects it could have on the bottom end of general aviation. The very low end of people flying around in small Cessnas tends to be more cost sensitive. What happens to safety when they start acting in ways to avoid ATC fees in order to keep flying?

I do have an AMD Hackintosh, I don't see any reason you wouldn't be able to use these as a dev Hackintosh machine. It's gorgeously fast with my Ryzen 2700x, eats compilation time like no one's business and it's stable. And it's something around 1/4th the price of the same horsepower from native Intel Macs. I can't imagine the cost delta of a EPYC Rome Hackintosh to its Intel counterpart.

It's not like I cheaped out either, I have the same cheese-grater like anodised dark grey aluminium case with impeccable internal structure for easy upgrades. (Link to case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcNsHS2U8RM)
the paragraph above it clearly states that the users are trained on how to engage and disengage the system. If consumers have a good understanding of the system and still feel that it is better than the competition how can it be an issue of mislabelling

I'm interested in this as well. Of course from a practical POV, especially with escalating NRE costs at recent nodes, we're clearly at a point where "getting the same core size at lower cost" is not going to be a thing unless you can afford to amortize that NRE over a huge volume of chips.
You sort of answered your own question. People looking for a left-leaning narrative have (C)(MS)NBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS. People looking for a right-leaning narrative have Fox(News)(Business).

Fox has consolidated the right-leaning audience. Anyone who complains about them should always follow the complaint asking why there aren't more conservative news networks to keep them honest.

Depends on the structure of your problem. Some lend themselves well to vectorization, others not nearly as much. Or at least the needed vectorized solvers are not yet available for some problem structures.

Try to use perf-tools to determine how you're currently using these execution units, and then you can look how much it might help. Rule of thumb: double the bitwidth of vector instructions gets you 80% more speed, instead of the theoretical 100%.
Oddly enough, my partner, who is a designer, asked me 4 days ago "what's that weird moebius wine flask thing you showed me ages ago?" I thought for a while and responded "klein bottle?" and sent her the link to your store.

Obviously, the popularity and desirability of Klein bottles follow a curve shaped like a Klein bottle. We're currently in the main volume stage, and will loop back through over the next few years.

You should graph your previous sales history. It will almost certainly be indicative of future sales ;-)

Games!? No Man's Sky had trouble with SSE 4.1 being a requirement, and ended up patching it out... let alone AVX, AVX2, or AVX512.

Typically, games won't take advantage of new instruction sets until it's ready to be a minimum requirement, as otherwise you need to maintain two code paths, the benefit of which is only to be speeding up execution on what are already the more powerful CPUs.

What games can benefit from AVX512?

Edit to my own comment to clarify: while I believe replication should be encouraged, because statistics!, this might set a precedent that gives incentives to scientists to replicate high-profile articles AND refute them since the original journal would be guaranteed to publish them. If you've been in academia, a publication like this could grant your grant, pardon the pun.

This article misses so many points. It's wrong about what socialism is. It's wrong about how online communities work. It's wrong about who free software / free culture supporters are (or maybe it adopts a very US-centric view while claiming a worldwide truth). It's kind of sad, I was really expecting it to be interesting.
They aren't perfectly mobile, but over time a city that's welcoming to the homeless will attract more homeless people than cities who are actively hostile to them, particularly when cities are willing to buy bus tickets to get homeless out. Sure, not everyone will move, but some might, and when there's a disparity in how homeless are treated for years and years that adds up.

It's probably more subtle than that: coreboot is a hodgepodge of open source aspects and oblique blobs that contain god knows what. That's why libreboot exists (shares a lot of coreboot code but doesn't allow blobs). If the NSA wants to do some dirt, then the dirt will probably go into the blobs and/or happen as a result of how the open source code interacts with the blobs in ways that are not obvious to anyone who doesn't know what's in the blobs. So I can see how getting some influence in the coreboot community would be of strategic value to them to implement schemes to weaken IT security for whoever they want to weaken it for.

There is actually a standard around writing paths into JSON objects: JSON Pointer, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901. It’s straightforward, and avoids ambiguity between separator and key name by simple replacement, e.g. `/foo/bar~0baz~1quux` looks up a key named "foo", then a key named "bar~baz/quux" inside it. It’s not particularly widely used, but I’ve come across it in a few places over the years (it’s not a common thing to need to do), and probably most recently JMAP uses it for backreferences.

(I haven’t run it, but a skim of the code suggests that this tool will turn `{"foo.bar": "baz", "foo": {"bar": "baz"}}` into `["foo.bar"] = "baz"` and `.foo.bar = "baz"`, resolving the separator ambiguity in a pretty JavaScripty way.)
