The fact that you think either side has a "vice grip" on anything speaks volumes to how effective the filter bubbles have become. You hear what you want to hear, see what you want to see, the engagement stats are through the roof!

90% of reality has been filtered out and you're being fed a constant stream of "poor white man persecuted for wrongthink" stories to keep you clicking.
New currencies always fluctuate very much when they start because no one knows what the value is. Most of the time this will settle after some time (years) because then the market decided it's value.

I even think there are countries where the currency fluctuates more than Bitcoin.
While it isn't the most pressing issue in the article, a quote that jumped out at me is: "For years, he assumed the road was public..."

Public land in the West isn't well-marked, and the difference in usage rights between private, state, and federals lands is not well understood by the general public, and sometimes not possible to know without recent data from the managing organizations regarding current permits and claims on various parcels. I've been thinking for years that I should write an app that reads your location, looks up related data, and tells you exactly what land you are on and what the allowed uses are. Especially out in the Western wilderness areas when you may be crossing into different parcels and walking in and out of various mining and mineral claims without even realizing it.
Oh, man, this nearly brought tears to my eyes...

An ACME Klein bottle was my first purchase of a physical object from the internet, more than 20 years ago.

I was a teen, then, and my father was going to buy it for my birthday. At the time, it seemed wickedly crazy that you could just make a few mouse clicks on a computer and have a physical object delivered to your home. If I recall correctly, we had to send a credit card number by fax! We were really scared that something bad would happen.

A few weeks later we received the package with the Klein bottle in it, but unfortunately it was broken. It was just a small crack on one side, but thick enough that it leaked water when it was "filled". I remember being very excited and very disappointed at the same time. Then, I sent a mail to Cliff explaining that my bottle arrived a bit broken, but I could not really prove it (there were no ubiquitous digital cameras back then), just to inform him to try to make the packaging safer. He replied immediately something like "Oh, sorry about that! No big deal, I'm sending you a new one." And indeed he did. I was in awe!

To this day, both klein bottles are proudly displayed at my home, and I count them among my most prized possessions, together with a few old editions of math books. The chipped one is actually more visible since I am less afraid that it breaks! The good one, is reserved for running water experiments on special days.

Thank you Cliff, we love your glasswork!
By generating c code that correctly sets memory to call a function with a particular ABI with the given signature. Then it's the normal sort of wrong.

Since the spec doesn't speak about FFI at all it seems, I think this is implementation defined behavior, not undefined behavior.
Don’t forget all the concrete streets in LA! All the streets before a certain vintage were paved with concrete and are mostly intact where they haven’t been covered with asphalt.
No. The CPU cache can easily be read out with sidechannel attacks via hyperthreading. It's the similar problem as unencrypted keys at the absolute location, which doesn't get cleared with explicit_bzero, which e.g. libsodium refused to fix. Hopefully crypto maintainers will get to their senses eventually.

> how do you delegate to a group of people?

Historically, you'd get a crusty, alcoholic, twice divorced guy and make it his problem to figure out. These individuals are usually given the title of sergeant.
On the contrary, the NSA's motives are clear and transparent. Try to make the system secure against anyone else and breakable by us.
The article itself gives the price of $10,009.

I'm OK with this - I would rather financially incentivize them to conserve their lands, instead of making them feel they need to monetize it to cover a tax bill.
The percentage of total people employed is fairly low in the US. Retirement, Education, Prison, Disability, etc all remove many people from the workforce.
That doesn't sound like undefined behavior to me. Or at least a different definition than the normal one.
Scarcity has a lot to do with it, which is fundamental.
Oh no. This looks like the horrible config format a colleague of mine invented at Yahoo when making an absolutely horrific config system. This brings back bad memories.

This may look cute but it is horrific when dealing with large configs and you have to reconstruct all the structure in your head.

Also, when you have a format that nests using brackets, braces and parenthesis, you can get help from the editor. This format does not give you that.

I'm not a huge fan of JSON (and the above mentioned format was invented because none of us were fans of XML at the time), but it turns out that both XML and JSON are actually easier to work with in practice than this format. Not least because there is ample tooling for JSON (and XML).

The lesson I learnt: I may hate XML (or in this case JSON), but finding an alternative that is better is not easy.
Yes and he'd be right. Making the transition violent is... unwise. China isn't Germany, this conflict will become hot only after China is convinced it can win. Sun Tzu was Chinese, after all :)
I see this is as a problem with wealth inequality and not land per say. A wealth gap leads to exaggerated levels of... you get the idea.
What a simple and clever idea. I would love something like that for XML in C#.
That guy was using the road for access to public land. It doesn't necessarily matter who owns the land under a road because the use of the road is supposed to offer access rights. The problem is the guy doesn't have enough money to take on billionaires to assert his access rights.
Some issues with this article:

> The sponsors are right that a liquid, stable currency would be attractive to many in emerging markets. So attractive, in fact, that if enough people trade out of their local currencies, they could threaten the ability of emerging market governments to control their monetary supply, the local means of exchange, and, in some cases, their ability to impose capital controls.

Easy to counter. The government can declare that Libra is illegal and stop its banks from converting Libra into Fiat. Sure you could probably get around it by a P2P marketplace.

Countries that have done this are: China, Russia, Vietnam and others [0].

> Unless regulators jump in quickly, these for-profit companies will set the standards for identity verification, at least in the short run, as well as defining the rules and enforcement around the privacy of transactions and what to do in case of theft.”

No there are already defined and in place rules for banks to adhere too. Companies cannot just set these standards. They'll be fined until they are told by the regulators to close shop.

> “That’s sort of the most dangerous consequence of this kind of concentration is the ability to exclude rivals, put them out of business, diminish innovation, diminish entrepreneurship, diminish choices for consumers,” he said.

This is one thing that regulators will look at with regards to Libra. There's just one wallet. Who are the competitors. In the case of banking there are many competitors. If Chase closes your account, you can move over to TD Bank. But if say Stripe closes your account because they take umbrage with you, does your wallet also get closed down? What happens also with
your Libra coins? These questions must be answered in precise detail for consumer protections and this right there, consumer protections determines the progress of Libra.

I do think Libra is a good idea. But a few things must be brought up to the fore.

- FB must open source their tech. Have other companies [or even groups of people once they are certified] run other groups of nodes. If these conglomerates of Stripe, Paypal, etc which have a history of banning people just because. Have the built-in ability that someone can move over to another provider.

- Have FB ensure that standards are met in terms of banking regulations and fine heavily if they don't. Make them feel the pain. Have some teeth when fining them.

vital interest of the NSA, and one of its core missions, to be able to penetrate endpoint security

It's also a core mission of the NSA to protect US networks from attack. If they're inserting backdoors in products used by US businesses, they're directly undermining their core mission.
Thanks for this!

Right now it is not very complicated. An inverted index of the text that is sent over is created and added to the database. The DB is just a big hash map. Searching right now is just an O(1) lookup in this hash map of the text being searched in this hash map.

I have plans to improve this of course. There is a lot of room for improvement. I am also planning on adding scoring using TF-IDF, but it's not done yet.

Any help with this would be more than appreciated!
Why 25? What makes you throw this exact number? Wild guess?
One reason is that other manufacturers are extremely conservative when it comes to the marketing of these capabilities, in comparison to Tesla who is overpromising a lot.

Another reason is that Teslas are "cool", and get a lot of press in non-automotive circles, which means that a lot of people think they were first with a lot of technology, which simply isn't true.

And a possible third reason is that quite a lot of tech people have been researching and toying with the idea of getting a Tesla, but those same people have never researched similar vehicles from other manufacturers, so they have no idea how they compare.

I had a 2014 Mercedes E-class, its self-driving capabilities was on-par with a 2014 Tesla. However, Tesla offers over-the-air updates of their vehicles, so existing Teslas got better, while my vehicle stayed the same, so that's a point they should have credit for and something they actually do better than most other manufacturers.

> The Lisp code generates the crc table

I don't think it's generating a table, just calling generate-crc32-table. Let's remove that line and the difference is still ridiculous (even if you look at only one of the two implementations).

> Comparable code would look something like:

Can't see any machine types here.

> (setf crc infix(crc_table[(crc ^ item) & #xff] ^ (crc >> 8)))

You really don't see how ridiculous that is? You are chasing exactly the target that is unholy in your eyes. Except, you will never reach it (the lisp version is really ugly, probably has really bad tooling, poor error messages, poor standardization and mindshare, and so on)...). While you could just use the right tool for the job.

> and compared it to Lisp code written in two different ways

question is, WHY was the Lisp code written in two different ways, but not the C code? Go figure.

> If you wanted to add bounds checking to the C code you would have to make major changes.

If you want automated and perfect bounds checking, you need a few more flavours of GC/OOP (because you need some automated notion where the "length" field is, and that length field needs to be authoritative), and you will end up with less modular, less portable code (because you can't just pass sub-arrays / smaller lengths, but always need to pass object handles. Can't support sub-allocators, etc). It's a tradeoff. If you go for automated bounds checking, that's a total different game. Personally I don't like to do GC, and I like to manually insert explicit "bound" checks at strategic locations. But YMMV.
Yea the fact they are actively saying they can't/won't tell you pool information is a major red flag. The fact they are trying to lowball you from a market rate when they are Series B is another. I'd pass on this opportunity if I was you. Transparency is critical for a startup, it is part of the reason people are willing to join a ship with so many holes in it and try to plug them up while trying to sail across the ocean. Without transparency a startup becomes a horrible place to be and you will grow to distrust everyone quickly because things will go wrong, there will be issues and if you can't trust you are getting an honest picture of them that's a major problem.

A number of years back I applied to a few startups, I wound up with offers from 3 that I liked, I am still at the one I liked most. Another was a Series B company that is well known and was proud to tell you they were highly profitable (was even covered in the media). They didn't hide option pool information or anything but the pass on them for me was out of one side of their mouth they said we are highly profitable and see no further need to raise more money. Out of the other side, we can't pay market rates cause we are a struggling startup. One of those statements was probably true, but the fact they just wanted to hire me at a massive discount (~40%) was a red flag they would treat people poorly where it suited them all while saying they were an awesome startup. That was an easy pass for me. Actions and words need to match or you are hiding something and if that is on a critical item like compensation or option pool etc I bet they are hiding a ton of stuff from employees and not being honest.

As for someone saying startups not sharing option pool information with lower level employees, don't accept it as normal or valid, it is not. I have heard of what they are saying but it is always a red flag.

Journalists do not only report the news, nor should they limit themselves to that. They also explain, classify and arrange the news, and put them into a broader context. This is the more interesting, the more difficult and more valuable part of their job.

Sure, you don't want to read this viewpoint. Great! There are thousands of cryptocurrency web sites with "proper" news and commentary for you to read.

This article is for people like me.
No, generally if you're doing the Hackintosh the modern way, you pick your components beforehand from those supported by Mac OS natively (which are excellent components you should already be picking regardless, with the exception of GPUs), and then the only thing you need is the SMC driver I mentioned. I didn't build this machine for Hackintosh, so I have a few drivers (4-5 I think? It tends to need fewer and fewer every OS X update), but that's it.

> Threadripper with many NVidia GPUs as well?

Yes, it works with Threadripper, but not with NVidia GPUs, but that's because regular Macs don't work with NVidia GPUs as well. My understanding is that it's a standoff between NVidia and Apple largely due to NVidia's poor behaviour the last time NVidia was included in Macbook Pros around 2012.
The NSA is not in charge of setting up and maintaining critical computer systems for US national security.

Contractors do that, according to DOD or DOE guidelines, which in turn means that these systems might end up using BIOS, coreboot, or something else.

The NSA itself might be using some of these systems, so its in their interest to make them secure.
I worked on the floor with two teams. One (ours) built our apps and infrastructure the correct way. JIT. Get it working, get it working correct, get it working fast. And given the scale, it did wonders.

The other team talked big and gave demos to higher ups and their higher ups and their higher ups. Web scale baby. And with that came the galactic infrastructure and all the buzzword needed in order to run it.

About 6 months later, they quit. They had spent their whole budget on astronaut architecture, that the didn't have any money or time left to build the apps that were supposed to run on said infrastructure.

"You are not FANG". But even if you are, JIT development.
Of all the ways that wealth can be redistributed, land reform is arguably one of the most socially disruptive. I hope we don't get to this point.
This stems mostly, I think, from a confusion about the difference between social democracy and socialism. And, to be fair, plenty of people on the left make the same mistake. I see lots of red roses appended to Twitter usernames. I think most of those people want socialized medicine and safety nets, not socialized control of the means of production. Yet they call themselves socialists.

25,000 if we are talking about significant digits is not very precise. Also, I interpret the 5 to mean between 20 and 30k.
I think a lot of car sales people are tech-averse and simply not interested in, or prepared for dealing with the faster consumer cycles of cars.

I recently did a test-drive and the guy maneuvered the car out of the dealer lot by driving backwards and looking out the rear window, completely ignoring the fantastic surround camera and sensor view that popped up on the huge display in the car... Great job selling that feature, buddy.
This is also a red flag. If you are the most expensive employee in the region and a ~30% discount from market that means they have not been lifting people at each raise up to a better salary and there will be a day of reckoning. It also means your salary would likely not change and you'd be stuck there till you left.

Now I say run away don't walk away from this company, too many things are against you here. I know that is easy to say and harder to do, but don't sacrifice yourself for a company that isn't being good stewards of their employees and isn't being honest at the earliest part of your relationship.
For many languages, it is even useless with stemming, you would want lemmatization plus a certain amount of fuzzy matching.
I agree.

He is dishonest because his very nature is selling favors. Remember, we are not talking about an entrepreneur or engineer who create things that are exchanged for value. This is a guy that everyday when he was in office, his sole objective was literally to pick winners and losers. They dont create value. They literally destroy it AND get a cut of the action in the process.

Every single problem he comments on (central bank, monopolies etc) are a direct result of legislation that he (or someone like him) helped draft.

Only a bureaucrat can complain in the same article about Unions losing power and american enterprise being fearful of outsourcing. They simply cannot connect the dots.

So if the article seems disonest is because it is. You cant say something is bad when you have no skin in the game (alt currency vs hyperinflation) and you also enabled its creation (amazon via USPS, tax breaks, etc).
Are you against any asset where visionaries got in early? VCs and wealthy investors reap the vast majority of rewards when companies like Uber go public, and let the retail investors hold the bag. I don’t see much of a moral difference.
As someone who’s been in the field since 2012 - yes, the tech part is what’s the most interesting. I explained to countless people that price is not what matters the most.

Having said that, I’ll shamefully admit that when the prices go up I get happy and excited :) We’re all humans after all!
At least we should have a law that people can pass through that land like they have in Scotland.
If apple complete the switch to arm I guess the hackintosh will go into hiatus for a long time. But the recent release of Mac Pro might delay the change for sometime. However this also depends on whether the t2 chip will be forced on in later os

> Keep in mind a high-profile journal like Science is extremely competitive and receives many paper submissions. They have to filter what they choose to publish based on some reason.

This is quite true, but I'd be wary of what you justify based on this fact alone. Discounting all of the interpersonal politics that goes into paper acceptance, the overall editorial policy of "high-profile" journals like this has a considerable effect on the scientific climate.

It would be unfairly cynical (IMHO) to say that the editorial policies will be geared toward whatever the publisher expects to be the most profitable (even in the long term), but on the other hand it would be naïve to expect that they're even trying to do their best for the expansion of human knowledge and the betterment of society.

What I'm getting at is that choosing what to include in Science et al. is a subtle but far-reaching tool, and maybe one better put in the hands of someone at least somewhat impartial, even if it's just some simple popularity contest counting votes on arXiv or similar.
That was much more interesting article than the submitted one.

OP said "QS" these are grey market chips, QS means Qualification Sample, Intel sends them to various manufacturers to test with motherboards and then they leak into the grey market. They are not retail so frequency and other characteristics might differ -- but even their stability might not be as high as a retail one. Although QS is usually better at this, it's ES (Engineering Sample) which can be very dicey.
Socialism has a straightforward definition. People just confuse it with social democracy.
