I'm personally still excited about these chips for laptops. Lower power and higher IPC mean same-ish performance as the previous generations, but with better battery life and thermals. Plus you get better turbo boost, better graphics, built-in support for TB3, WiFi 6, etc. Seems perfect for something like the Surface Pro. The Core uarch is getting dated, yeah, but Intel is going for breadth and better integration here and it looks compelling.
I will not tolerate taco bell slander on this web forum
I think its a dubious comparison - like comparing the physiological effects of a drug, with a physical altercation.

Hoeing (chopping and mixing the soil) has a radical effect on its biology, which the researchers mention as "the inevitable indirect effects caused by the destruction of live vegetation". The effects of rare pollutants tend to be more subtle, yet they only look for glyphosates effects in hoed soil, which is already very disturbed.
>A child on the BART train? You have got to be kidding. With the insane people, mentally ill, the thieves and the homeless,

Typical American paranoia.
The MA programs typically offer better benefits than 80/20 Medicare part B because they selectively market to groups of seniors in relatively good health but mostly because they get one hell of a taxpayer subsidy.

To the surprise of no one the promised efficiencies never materialized.
Sounds like you're good at focusing, which not all of us are ;)
It feels as though much of tech has gone from helping people accomplish their goals efficiently to a business model of extracting rents while providing no or little value.

In this example, what benefit is GrubHub providing to anyone? The person used Yelp solely to look up the phone number of a restaurant. GrubHub deserves 15% of his order for that? Why, because they made a deal to give X% of it to Yelp, and convinced the restaurant this was a good deal?

What value did they provide here?

Meanwgile, Yelp used to be a resource to find good businesses. Now it's... Something else. It's leveraging it's market power to make money rather providing customers with any value.

I don't know what the answer is but it feels like society needs to come up with a new word, new idea, (or probably an old one we've forgotten) and make it both an ethically bad thing and then also an illegal one (or at least one that is taxed higher).
This kind of thing is fighting an Hydra. Not saying this kind of place deserves to exists, but shutting down one system makes them willing to open more and keep trying.
The problem is the Medicare / Medicaid rates are not currently enough to sustain the hospitals.
While perhaps true in theory, has there ever been a known case where game DATA from a multiplayer game was able to exploit a remote system and say obtain root access?

Stuff like rowhammer is very different vs something like a SQL injection on a website.
I've never had a boss or customer say "I need those class names changed, and before Tuesday!" :) It sometimes helps achieve goals, but it's never the primary goal itself.
Perhaps Tarsnap
There's a local restaurant known for it's macaroni and cheese. That and a few sides dishes are all they serve, and it's all fantastic.

One of their bad Yelp reviews was that their beer list of local microbrews wasn't extensive enough.

I don't use the text transcripts all that much but I haven't noticed any degradation.

But let's posit that it has degraded. What could have happened? Let's assume that use of Google Voice has increased (non-obvious) but that Google assigned resources have not. Perhaps processing power spent on the voice to text analysis has been reduced? That's my best theory on how a degradation in this service may have occurred.
If we're getting to the point where we can openly talk about getting rid of the industry -- unlikely but not an impossibility -- perhaps the industry itself missed a few opportune -- not opportunistic -- steps.

My health insurance company is a non-profit. And I also supplant my coverage through a religious non-profit health expense coverage company. I'm not religious, but I answered their screening questions honestly and they accepted me.

Providers and cover-ers are playing a game where the costs are an insurance against non-payment in and of itself. We've all heard the stories of a $10K bill here which would cost $400 elsewhere. If insurance companies want to be super-profitable, and if costs are aligned to unreasonable pricing tenets that can't be justified long term, the system will collapse, and deservedly.

There are many ways to do capitalism, and some of them are bad for too many parties except the organization.
There are very interesting new developments with Kevin Cernekee.

Another conservative in his right-wing group at Google made the following accusations according to [1]:

>Among the allegations, Wacker claims Cernekee did the following:

>Requested to “put together a group donation in the name of ‘freespeech@Google’” to help fund Richard Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, a white supremacist think tank.

>Called alt-right crowdfunding platform WeResearchr his “friends.”

>Defended the Golden State Skinheads, which espouses neo-Nazi ideology on its web site, in a situation where a rally turned violent. He also claimed the term “skinhead” had some “unfortunate baggage.”

>Started a thread criticizing how Google’s Chrome Web Store had removed the Coincidence Detector app, a Chrome plugin that wraps three sets of parentheses (known as “echoes”) around names on web pages that appear to be Jewish. According to Wacker, Cernekee wrote “I was just surprised that Google banned an app for adding silly punctuation” and “Google stands for free speech and we should have thoroughly discussed the implications of censoring the app, rather than succumbing to knee-jerk reactions just because an internet journalist wrote a misinformed article to stoke outrage.”

Kevin has his defense included in the article, but doesn't seem to directly deny doing any of the above. I am assuming they're true.

The Netherlands has mandatory private insurance and it works well for them. The insurers are heavily regulated though.
There goes another hypothetical... BEWARE anytime a rebuttal post started with “perhaps”.
Incorrectly handling malloc failures has been responsible for a lot of security problems. We are all better off acknowledging that C programmers are broadly incapable of writing correct OOM handling at scale and figuring out what to do with this fact, instead of wishing that it weren't this way.
only the following is stored in ibdata1

You say "only", I say "clusterfuck".

Just look at the very page you linked to. It's a totally confusing concept that befuddles users and causes questions "we often receive", starts "panic", can "unfortunately" not easily be analyzed and you might need to "kill threads" and initiate "rollbacks" to fix the problems it brings.

MyISAM got that right. One dir per database.
Would you also describe auto insurance and home insurance as rent seeking? Because it sounds like the same thing.
The problem is, 3 years is a huge gap. If you look at all the other centenarians, they really do cluster within months of 117-119. And then you have Calment, who is the only outlier and who is like 30+ months past them all (and this is at a time of life where the annual mortality rate is like >50%). I plotted the age gap between the record holders once, and it looks basically like a flat line and then a single dot at the top of the graph corresponding to Calment. It may be a complex process, but at least for everyone else they die on schedule.

No, the radioactive decay will follow a (nearly) continuous exponential curve. Half-life is just an arbitrarily chosen point on that curve: the point at which half of the atoms have decayed. With carbon dating you are basically solving this equation: percent of carbon 14 left = 0.5 ^ (years since death/5,730). If it has been 500 years since death, you would expect 94% of the original carbon 14 to remain.

That said, you generally have error boundaries spanning multiple decades and it measures since time of death (when new carbon stops being integrated into the body) not time of birth, so it would not be useful for this.
Well sure, because a rating doesn't measure how good a restaurant is compared to all other restaurants.

Ratings measure how good a restaurant is compared to other restaurants in the same class because that is where their patrons' reference frame comes from.

It's also unfair to rate both a $1 coffee and a $8 coffee on the same basis, it's clear that the cost constraints put pressure on how good you can make that coffee. It's not unfair for an $8 coffee to be higher quality, but worse rated than a $1 coffee.

I rely and rate on Google Maps excessively, using it to plan trips and to eat out. It has consistently been the best source of information. All you have to do is first filter for the type / class of cuisine you want.
I see this all the time in MercadoLibre, the most used e-commerce platform in my country (and all of Latin America I think). If you want to buy something you should hit the "Buy" button, which puts you in contact with the seller and also charges the seller a small fee. But you also have a small Q&A section where you can communicate with the seller; and in there you will see many clever attempts of communicating some contact information (usually the phone number) between the parts to avoid paying that fee. The section is automatically (and I think manually too) moderated, but it looks like a never-ending war where the platform is always losing.
I use syncthing.
I don't think this is a new phenomena at all. Anthropologists can tell a lot about old civilizations by characteristic injuries, after all. I suspect that people have been screwing up their bodies with repetitive motions/positions since at least the dawn of agriculture. I suppose it is telling that this was the better alternative.

I've known people who have constructed working lives for themselves that try and achieve this balance, but it is a difficult thing to do. I expect that it usually has an economic penalty of some sort, but if at least some of the work pays well it's not crazy.

One way to manage it would be to find lucrative work roughly 1/2 time (i.e. "knowledge work" contracts) and then very intentionally spend the rest of your time outside and doing something active. If you've ever tried to negotiate a short week for less pay you'll probably realize this is difficult to arrange.

Exactly. Which is so strange when you see which states are against government involvement and which states need the most government assistance.
There's a German fine for a police officer where he used the license plate of a "random acquaintance" to get their landline and mobile phone numbers and then used that to call them. This was for personal reasons and not related to his duties.

I'm willing to make a $5 bet that he was attracted to a friend of a friend, and figured he'd user her car license plate in order to get her number so that he could call her. She got freaked out and reported it. I wonder how to find out more specific details on this case...

> That, and SMPY isn't a particularly compelling example. 1972-1997 is prime-time for computing, megacorporations, cold war military-industrial complex, and college educations all-around. Hard to imagine a more provident time to be a mathematically precocious youth! Looking at this in a broader slice of history, a comparison to the lives of men like Ramanujan or Heaviside would be more fitting.

SMPY covers the same time period as much of the anecdotal or self-selected evidence he invokes. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

The government already does this via Medicare/caid. They are considered the gold standard of reimbursement for insurance companies and hospitals. Medicare/caid's guidelines on what they will and will not pay for are very clear and they stand by their rulings.

Insurance companies, on the other hand, will break their own agreements left and right. One major health insurance company in the US has an internal policy of blanket denials of claims. Meaning, if you have them as an insurance provider, it's about as effective as having no insurance. Unfortunately I can't name names.
I feel that it is usually best to avoid this type of submission and that it's very regrettable that this is the current level of public discourse in the US. However, it's unfortunate but this is something we (collectively, the software industry) should not ignore and - however we feel about Google - should be aware that governments change but precedents for acceptable behavior are stickier.

It's pretty disappointing for me that it's flagged. It's Reuters quoting the US President directly. The headline is taken from the article verbatim.
I have only skimmed the whitepaper, but I did not notice any mention of handling of the loss of the private key.

Sooner or later, any servers get hacked, and attackers can get the private data stored there. If this happens, is there any way to recover the TLD? Or are we going to end up with a network where many names point to ransomware pages?
In every society information is a means of making a living or wielding power, but Arabs husband information and hold it especially tightly. U.S. trainers have often been surprised over the years by the fact that information provided to key personnel does not get much further than them. Having learned to perform some complicated procedure, an Arab technician knows that he is invaluable so long as he is the only one in a unit to have that knowledge; once he dispenses it to others he no longer is the only font of knowledge and his power dissipates.

This information hoarding behavior also occurs in large enterprises. I know one programmer who got to sit in a cafe reading a book, because she was the only one who understood how a particular subsystem worked. (She had written it in a particularly diabolical way, and only she understood the underlying system of objects only existed as adjacent entries in long arrays, which then underwent merge sort-like "merge" operations involving 4 array indexes, of which there were dozens of variations which called each other recursively. The company that had produced the system was defunct, and no manuals for the format could be found.)

One way to counteract this, is to require all groups within the company to provide a standardized API for accessing their systems, and to evaluate each group by how useful it is to the rest of the company.
Yeah, my gf wiped out on those last week. Not fun
We’ve come full circle back to primary storage that drops into a socket.

All things considered, that’s not a bad looking socket system. With thermal limitation the issue, it seems BGA+heat sink will still outperform but at the cost of not being upgradable. Still, seems like a fair idea to have a PCIe4 MicroSD.
Yes, that is entirely fair and I'm being somewhat flippant about it but there's a huge disconnect over private insurance and the fact that it's in their best interest to spend the least amount possible for maximum gain, whereas any government run system should have the interests of it's citizens in mind, and a healthy society is generally a more productive and happy society
This is exactly what a hackathon project should be. Delightful, innovative and scoped small enough that they produce results without too much bullshit. Not the usual "world changing" hacks that end up abandoned the moment the event concludes. If only events encouraged more hacks like these.

In Windows on a 16GB RAM laptop, I've often fired up Matlab, opened a 32GB matrix, and performed a few simple operations on it. In Windows Matlab dutifully chugs away on the problem, the disk spins like mad, and I put Matlab in the background and do email for 20 minutes. This identical use case completely cripples my Linux Mint OS, the mouse hangs, nothing functions, and I've never gotten it to even complete the operation. I just can't operate on a 32GB matrix with 16GB of RAM in Linux, but I can in Windows with relative ease.

To me, this is the Linux kernel's biggest weakness against Windows. Most other gripes about Linux (poor power management, poor driver support, etc) belong outside the kernels domain, but this one is a glaring win for Windows over Linux.
I would guess the biggest factors are very limited consumption of heavily refined foods (in particular sugar and refined grains) as well as some access to modern medicine (antibiotics, hospital births).

edit: And, of course, there's a lot of fraud cases.
How do you butcher the mammoth? Lacking effective antitrust laws and a useful FTC there's positive feedback loop of medical providers merging and consolidating for the enhanced bargaining position vis-a-vis the merged and consolidated insurance industry.
there's an immediate recession.

yep, it's true. GDP will fall, maybe for a few quarters.

but, i liken it to cleaning out an infection. most job growth in health care is admin., not people who actually see patients. so there's rotten scaffolding propping up the system that's basically completely parasitic (i'm not blaming said individuals here, just stating facts). required reading:

https://hbr.org/2013/09/the-downside-of-health-care-job-grow...

however - and this is key - the rest of the country are better off in the long run, because they can do things like:

- avoid silent taxes like figuring out which doctor/procedure is covered, arguing with insurance companies after the fact, stress/anxiety/putting off care due to above, bankruptcy as a result of whims of insurance companies

- start a business bc they don't have to stay in a horrible job for private health insurance coverage

- invest in themselves (education, etc.) bc they don't have to stay in a horrible job for private health insurance coverage

- start to get healthier and get preventative because they can actually afford to go see a doctor without a high probability of bankruptcy (this occasionally happens even with """good insurance""")

- business can now eliminate this axis as general benefit (does your health insurance accept my dentist?)

so yeah, it's gotta get taken care of. either we do it now (painful) or we do it later (immensely more painful).

Interesting. Well, I guess that means I can’t visit Austria and drive. The dashcam is one of my coping mechanisms for OCD. I do get their concerns, though.

I suspect they’re going to roll that back if insurance fraud increases.
I believe the "burden" is felt differently by countries closer geographically, socially and culturally. How much do they get paid in benefits compared to the UK for example? What are the housing costs and conditions offered there?
And because a man illegally used a dashcam, he was fined 300 euros. It was a camera recording the use of a car from the driver's point of view, which is illegal. Two people were reprimanded for using surveillance cameras for their own home without permission.
I am a knowledgeworker. I defenitely find myself more and more doing things by hand. I own a tractor, mulcher, chain saw by now (just to name the more massive machinerey besides the ton of small machines)

I like doing things by hand. But I am generally a hard working man, by hand or when using my head.

Two observations:either work can become obsessive. When you start working with your hands for leasure, this can become a burden on it's own. But even more so: I do not need to make living out of carrying for my land. And: the grass looks always greener on the other side of the river!

Not sure if this is what you’re thinking of, but https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_sharing_ministry is similar. They were grandfathered under Obamacare and are apparently legal in most states.

Of course the thing is the reason the costs are cheaper than insurance is also because they don’t cover as much. Some insurance plans are incredibly expensive just because they have to spend multi-millions on a single person’s care.
Refactoring code is part of the work being done much like emptying the dust bin is a part of ensuring you can continue to clean house effectively. Leave one and the other suffers. It's a goal as much as having a clean house is - it is inseparable from it and a direct consequence of doing it, but it is often discounted or ignored - because it is seen as a separate task. It is not.
