What exactly does "submit to chinese censorship" mean in this case? China is already blocking these censored websites- linking them in search results isn't going to magically allow the website to load in the browser.

Even in the example you linked, Yahoo! said "it must respect the laws of governments in jurisdictions where it is operating." How is complying with this different than complying with a U.S. Government subpoena?
I am not directly the target market, no. And the throttling itself is an indication that the heat was designed/accounted for in the Pi's design.

However, to say that the majority of users don't need better cooling, and it won't cause problems most of the time, seems inaccurate. If you use a microSD card to boot/run the Pi, how many of them are rated for blisteringly-hot operating conditions 24x7 (many people using the Pi as a computer will have it booted pretty much all day and just turn off the monitor, or go to screensaver).

And I have already had one PoE HAT's PoE socket pop partly off the board when removing it from a Pi 3 B+. Partly due to stress of flexing the board, definitely... but that kind of tiny solder joint on a part that is stressed when making a connection is exactly the point of failure that may not be directly caused by, but is definitely not helped by thermal stress.
Nice find, at least there are some screenshots that give us an idea of what this looks like.

From what I can see, it's a lot like the type of content I've experienced smaller companies asking, which I'm for because it does require some amount of open-ended engineering that fits into what applicants would be expected to do every day. There's a made-up feature that's required, and you discuss how to implement it (and then actually implement parts of it), that sort of thing.

What I think is still a bit disappointing is that this is being pitched as a fix for screening, not for the actual on-site interviews where the memorization questions usually come into play anyways. It feels a bit disingenuous and contradictory.
The actual answer nobody is giving:

Q: How can phone companies detect tethering?

A: by working with Google and Apple to inject code in android and IOS to serve that purpose.
After just reading that recent article about working conditions at Tesla and the struggles there to produce at high enough quality levels, it is surprising that he is working on this as well.

One can't help but to take it seriously considering his other achievements, but I hope he doesn't stretch himself too thin.

I think that calling it carbs is dishonest. Carbs from oats/rice etc. are fine IMO.

The problem is with simple sugar without any other nutrients(protein/fiber). Also soda intake in USA is scary.

I never met (educated) overweight person who was suprised about their weight (gain). Most people just eat a lot of sweets (but are fine with it).

> This is tricky to do for all platforms that V8 supports

It can be done only where supported. Ivy Bridge and later have instructions to set them in user space (WRFSBASE/WRGSBASE), and although it needs the OS to enable it, I would expect it can be done on all significant x86-64 OSes.

> I'm not sure it's free; it's still at the very least another prefix.

There are benchmarks that show TLS is as fast as global variable, so it's probably free (aside from the impact on the I-cache due to increased code size, but using a general purpose register is probably much worse due to additional instructions and extra SIB bytes).

That's factually incorrect making your whataboutism in this comment and one where you replied directly to my comment seem like a deliberate attempt to rationalize the Chinese censorship apparatus.

ES proposal: private class fields
Reminds me of those “resort fees” in Vegas, which are not disclosed as part of the room rate when you search/comparison shop, but can actually add up to being more than the room rate [1]. Totally evil. Why can’t we at least agree to regulate hidden fees to extinction? How does hiding the true price of something ever benefit the public?

You can always mask it (enable/disable) at the place that triggers the NMI.
This is why I suggest in the video to just stick some ventilation holes in the top cover. Instead of the heat pooling in that area, it could escape, and there would be some natural convection—in through the gaps around the ports, out through the top. It wouldn't be as good as a fan, but definitely better than slapping a heat sink inside the case.
That's because it's "voluntary compliance", somewhat based on the honor system, if you can believe that. If you mess up isn't as big a deal as it is if you cheat and are caught. Some people make their livelihood on attempting to lie on their taxes, a fudge here, a fudge there in order to collect more than their share. Some get away with it.

That sounds pretty healthy. Can you share how often the living room gets used for reading and talking? In most homes I see, these spaces go unused in favor of the TV room.

I was raised in a "single tv" household and I think it helped that we all had to compromise on what we wanted to watch. This was before laptops were common, so screens are much more ubiquitous now. However, during the 90s it was common for each bedroom to have its own TV.
Imagine this is an online discussion board for doctors, and now we are having a discussion on this topic in the news: "China is harvesting organs from detainees, tribunal concludes" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/17/china-is-harve...

And now imagine this comment goes on the top:

> Our best surgeons in the U.S. should fly to China to help them with organ transportation. Without us, they will do organ transportation using those organs anyway. But we have better technology and higher successful rate. So why don't we just go there to help them save more lives?
I put Cyanogenmod on a device and tethered for years without any carrier warnings. Then I accidentally got a device with a locked bootloader and tethered by rooting it to switch a flag; I got a warning from that one. Then I got another open device, put LineageOS on it and tethered uneventfully for another couple years.

I'm sure my custom ROMs played some games to disguise the traffic, but at least on AT&T it seemed to work without a hitch.
That is correct. A pi 4 can doe h265 acceleration, but for anything other than a pi 4, use h264 content.
> And it's annoying AF; there is no reason for a carrier to give a crap about tethered/not

Put yourself in their shoes, and you'll appreciate their reasons.

I was recently force to pay for a higher plan specifically to unlock tethering, which is important to us for backup, since we're in the hills on a crappy ADSL connection.

Their reason is that it allows them to increase revenue.
I'm hosting a Node.js webserver from my RPi3, I have heatsinks and a case installed with no fan.

I suspect some people are. Languages have network effects, which get stronger when FFI is uncommon. My team and codebase mostly keep me on Java even though I find Kotlin clearer in every way and I'd love to get better with Scala and Haskell. If for some reason my team switched to something like Go or VB I'd have to find another job or else put up with it.
I don't like the way the thread is going. It's pure bike shedding whether GMO includes selective breeding or not. Then everyone redefines the word however they like to strengthen their argument. We might as well replace GMO with something arbitrary like toilet paper.

"Maybe anti-toilet-paper movements that might lead to believe that they are not used yet" Now everything sounds ridiculous but no one argued about the actual problems or advantages.
It's not an assumption, it's a suggestion for making an thermal/visible light overlay photo where the IR photo shows only emitted light.
I’ve been using old ssd cases (aluminium ones), which would otherwise end up in trash. Drill four holes, use a screw to create threads in those holes. Lay some thermal tape, and mount the pi. I haven’t seen it rise above 60degs — plus it looks alright in my opinion. Few pictures here [1].

I got rid of the ports because I don’t need them (headless) and so they mostly fit entirely. I’ll make some sorta cover though.

Edit: Forgot to mention that these cases are strong. It fell a few times and nothing visibly bad. I added Pimoroni shim in second iteration because I did want to keep hdmi there. Also left the Ethernet leds for indicator lights.

Ask HN: Any ideas on how to invest money in the US from a latin american country
I currently have a couple thousand dollars in a PayPal account that I'd like to invest on anything.

My investing knowledge is the bare minimum, I know the basics of stocks, forex and the like but that's it. I know about affiliate marketing and that stuff but don't want to pull the trigger on those without first looking into stocks.

Also, due to the fact that I'm on a latin american country with a poor banking, legal and financial system, I cannot bring the money to my country without the government taxing me heavily (around 30%) of almost any amount I bring.

What options do I have to invest in the US from outside?

PS: I've been on HN for some time now and this is my first time asking anything, please be kind.

Your argument assumes Chinese citizens using Google is somehow better for them than Baidu. I have no idea. But I will not make the claim to know what's best for 1.6B, as you do.

But to go down that road, I'd argue it's worse for the citizens. As others here have pointed out. Google's software enables advanced citizen tracking for the Communist Party of China.

Prove me wrong though. Show me how Google China is better for 1.6B Chinese.
Stockfish isn't an AI, just an expert system. It was designed from the ground up to play chess.

AlphaZero is generalized AI. It was designed to learn how to do things - like play chess. The fact that it easily beat a custom-designed expert system with only a few hours of learning time is incredible. It's a different order of complexity altogether. It may not be human intelligence, but it's a great deal closer to how humans function than how machines (like Stockfish) function.

I believe that self driving cars are here whenever they can take a standard driving test in whatever conditions we feel are normal for the legislative area they are employed in.

Until then any kind of self driving should be given the same penalties that we would impose on a party operating a vehicle without the appropriate license. This is such an obvious thing to me I really wonder why it has not been implemented.

After all, if 'AI' is allowed to drive why aren't kids aged 12 allowed to drive, they are obviously more intelligent. It's because they have not passed a driving test and won't be eligible until they are of the right age.
This is also true for any real computer which isn't a desktop or server. Smart phones, SBC, whatever, they all have form factors which mean they can't disipate heat easily. They all thermally throttle quickly.
One thing others haven't mentioned is DNS. If your phone is trying to lookup Windows Update it's a surefire way of knowing this didn't originate in the phone.
We need transportation. A world of sitting on our butts in front of a computer isn't a solution to much of anything. Maybe we don't need to actually operate the vehicle, but we need the vehicle.

I'm not walking halfway across the country just to visit my mother.
So I’ll still need to have a drivers license to use an autonomous vehicle? That pretty much defeats the whole purpose, at least for me.

Sounds cool but I couldn't get it to work on a couple low res B&W photos I uploaded.
In safety-critical systems, failures are usually measured in (severity) x (probability) (and sometimes including a 'detectability' measure).

So a resulting 'acceptable' metric could factor in those less severe cases even if they occur at a higher probability. Scores outside this range would then trigger a redesign to bring it within acceptable boundaries.

I think the difficulty will be in 1) getting a consensus on what the resultant score should be and 2) getting enough information to estimate it in a statistically significant sense.
I am sure they are but I like my head where it is so I think I will pass on visiting Egypt and the pyramids.
It is in the best interests of the Egyptians to preserve it and they happen to have experience in preserving pyramids and turning them into assets that attract tourists.
Some good points. Some incredible engineering has gone into Spark to work around the fact that it runs on the JVM.

Memory overhead of Spark particularly (not just JVM) is very high. In some cases close to 100x more memory than equivalent query execution with DataFusion [0]. Also you might be interested to see my original blog post with some of my thoughts on this [1].

Not exactly. The IRS has made a deal with an industry group called the Free File Alliance saying that in exchange for offering free tax filing to some subset of taxpayers, the IRS won't create competing software. Congress is working on a bill called the Taxpayer First Act that would enshrine that deal in law [1], effectively prohibiting the IRS from creating their own software. It looks like that bill has only passed the House so far [2] so it may still fail.

Regardless, it would still be okay for the IRS to automatically file people's taxes and send them a return, which is the true best solution here.

I know that you’re saying but the Great Lakes basin is not arid like the Aral Sea -whose tributaries were tapped for irrigation. The Great Lakes “overflow” into the st Lawrence which discharges about 7000 m3/sec. at the Ontario outflow.
absolutely not.

the tethered devices use the same "gas tank" and would have to be directly connected at all times for that to work.

It turns out that a Fast Fourier Transform of an object
can be used to recognize the object in an scene.

The result of convoluting the FFT of the "interesting object" and the scene is a "spot" that highlights all of the places the object of interest occupies in the scene.

I played with this, literally, in the last century.

Some day a bright-spot engineer at Google will re-invent it, patent it, and give it a spiffy name. Then everyone will have to be able to explain it during the Google whiteboard interview by just-graduated college students.

I'll say this much: the longer I work in technology the more I loathe it. Every time anything breaks, which it seems is absurdly often these days, I get really angry. It isn't enough I have to deal with esoteric issues brought on by overly complex bullshit at work, no, pretty much everything people use today that runs on electricity has the same damn problem! People are even putting this shit in their light bulbs! Their fucking lights! Famously simple enough to be operated by a switch for, what, over 100 years and now some jackasses who want to sell shit think its a good idea to put more computing power than man took to the fucking moon into it!?

It's enough that I'm seriously considering some sort of technological ludditism. I'll start a new lifestyle, one where we only use technology simple enough for the average 10 year old to hold an accurate model of in their head. We'll trade messages on snail-mailed disks between our Commodore 64s or something.

The Lotus does not appear more aerodynamic than the Roadster. It has more "aggressive" features, but these do not improve aerodynamics and probably makes aerodynamics worse. The old Tesla roadster had a 0.31 drag coefficient (by the end of its run with Tesla's aero mods), Model S has 0.24, Model 3 has 0.23. I suspect the 2020 Roadster has better than the old Roadster, so somewhere between 0.30 and 0.20.

The large intakes of non-electric supercars also kills the drag coefficient.

The supercar Bugatti Veyron has a drag coefficient of 0.38.

So again, can you point to a more aerodynamic supercar? I'm not talking about subjective cosmetics (frankly, I find the cartoonishly "aggressive" features on lots of supercars a little childish), but objective aerodynamic performance?

Yes, on the T-Mobile "One" plan they did throttle tethering traffic. You had to pay an extra $15/mo or so for the "One Plus" plan to get LTE tethering speeds. I believe they may have lifted this throttling on the new "Magenta" plans they rolled out a few months ago.
