>but electron speed in cupper is about 15-20cm per nanosecond so it is usually not a big factor.

I'm going to be extremely pedantic for a moment, but this is a case where there's a bit of a difference between electricity and electrons. The speed of electricity, aka electrical energy, aka electric field propagation through copper is 15-20cm per nanosecond. The speed of electrons, aka drift velocity, is far slower and governed by the current and conductor cross-section. Vd=I/neA. For a 91w TDP desktop CPU at maximum current draw, the drift velocity through the power connector would be about 245cm per hour. Yes, per hour. For AC circuits the drift velocity is effectively zero because the electrons vibrate back and forth around their starting position.
And that's before we even begin to discuss intentional manipulation.
Walked into my home towns local book store. Played marble madness on the Amiga until they almost threw me out of the store. Was sold on the Amiga and got one.also sold on deluxe paint and the computer image of Tutankhamon.

Side story John Draper legendary phone phreaker mentioned in the article known as captain crunch. Draper found that if you covered a hole in the included toy whistle in included in the package of captain crunch cereals it would produce 2600hz. Hence the nick name Captain crunch. 2600 hertz was the phone signaling used by telecom companies to tell that the phone call was hang up and billing should stop. Thus one could call for free by emitting 2600hz by a building a device callled blue box when long distance calls was very expensive.

Other famous uses of Blueboxes which sales founded another
computer company founded by phreakers Apple. Steve Jobs and Wozniak made the first money for building apple computers by selling blue boxes. Or at least so the legend goes.

I considered TSLA when it dipped below $200, but I just don't have any confidence in Musk. I heard him saying they will have full level 5 autonomy next year. That's just ridiculous. It would be less ridiculous for him to say he will land a human on Mars next year.

I was amazed at how quick I could develop applications for the web with it. In my over 30 years of software development, nothing comes close.
I went to change my password on a forum site that I had not used in a few years. My old password was really weak - think "abc123" or something similar.

I logged in and then attempted to change my password to my new standard of 20+ character upper/lower/symbol. The problem was, they'd upgraded their forum software, and there was a bug that added password strength validation to the "old" password field.

So I was putting in:

Old: abc123
New: sZp10VzIoZI9g143

And was getting the error message "error: your password must be 8+ characters long". After about 10 minutes of frustration and realising they had both client and server validation I went down a similar route as you and used forgot-password even though I knew the password.
It is about risk adjusted return. There is risk and costs associated with stuffing your money in a mattress, or keeping it in other kinds of accounts. Really it is the same as asking why people would buy a treasury bond instead of a CD, or junk bond that pays more in interest.
I am wondering how long this non-removable battery fiasco is gonna last, instead of an expensive recall it would been a simple battery recall and swap that doesn't involve leaving the laptop in service for any amount of time and doable on short notice so the travelers would not be inconvenienced.

On top of that, when non-removable batteries fail, they usually take down the whole device with them beyond repair, while a properly placed removable battery at the edge (back) of the device would less likely do damage the device.

I hope you don't mind me riffing on this idea. I'm very much compatible with this mindset, but in the case of those pursuing social justice, and still suffering, I think there is something more.

I have a colleague who ran into a software design problem lately. He is looking at all of the apparent possible options and none of them seem like they will result in good code. He's gone on the internet to see if someone else knows the solution to the problem, with no luck. Then he's spent time to see if anyone has written any frameworks that solve this problem. While some claim to have solved the problem, a purusal of the code show the cure to be at least as bad as the the disease. What can he do?

To me, this is the same kind of problem with the same kind of result. When we first see a problem, or instinct is to go and look for a solution. We go to experts to find out what the answer is. We look at proven best practices in order to find out what we need to do. Strangely, though, the advice of the experts and the best practices often lead to situations that are at least as bad as our original problem. Why?

The reason is that we are taking an internal problem and looking for external answers. Buddha said that life is suffering. This is not to say that we should give up and have a defeatist attitude, I think. It's more that you just can't escape it: life is suffering. And code is bad. (In case you are wondering just how crazy I can be, I once gave a talk in public about how code is literally karma ;-) ).

We have to accept the suffering first (or bad code) and then start "acting skillfully". There isn't an external answer that will solve our problems. The guru on the mountain doesn't have the answer because they don't know what the question is. The carefully built system does not work for our issue, because our issue never existed when the system was built.

One of the things I've found about people pursuing social justice is that, on average, they tend to be intelligent people. The more they pursue the justice, and the more the society gives them leeway to do so, the more unhappy they get -- because they discover that their answer is not matched with the problem they are trying to solve. All of that energy has been put forward to solve the problem and they very slowly learn that they might not have the correct problem. Of course some people are always blind and they keep burning the witches, even finding new witches to burn after they run out of the first ones. However, I have found that the majority get really unhappy the farther they progress down this road.
> And you're right, youtube and 8chan don't want to be hosting that stuff.

It actually looks like 8chan is perfectly fine hosting this stuff, which is the problem. I doubt Cloudflare would have as much of an issue if 8chan were proactive in taking down a lot of its more terroristic content.

> It troubles me that the very same people arguing about a women's right to choose are slamming facebook and youtube and twitter for allowing people to express their opinions.

Is anyone actually getting mad at Youtube/Facebook for simply allowing dissenting opinions? Most people get upset with the really awful stuff, like, genuine harassment or race-baiting; I honestly don't know anyone that is calling for the removal of people just because they hold an opinion against the norm.

People called for Alex Jones to be banned (which eventually happened) because he was actively and purposefully doing things to hurt people. He was spreading a lot of misinformation, which led to someone with a gun trying to shoot up a pizza shop, and to people directly targeting the victims' parents of the Sandy Hook massacre because he, for years, spread the idea that it was a hoax; he also would constantly accuse anyone he disagreed with of being a pedophile.

Everyone has a line for free speech; the easy example is "yelling fire in the crowded theater", but if I hired a hitman, it's not like it would be a valid court defense for me to say "Well it's my free speech to tell someone to kill someone". Saying that there should be no limits on free speech is intellectually dishonest, and we gain nothing from it. If certain people are causing measurable and unambiguous harm from the things that they're saying, then, to me, that's where we draw the line at giving them a platform.

> Well, I mean, then maybe we should outlaw animals having sex with each other? It's not like they give consent to each other.

I don't believe that you're saying this in good faith. If two thirteen-year-olds have sex with each other, society doesn't typically have too much of an outrage because they're just two kids who don't know better. If a forty-five-year-old has sex with a thirteen-year-old then we get upset, because a grown-ass adult should know better.
I get the feeling my school age self would have been filled with a bit of rage at the teacher and the students who got to use the Apple computers. The TRS-80 Model 3 wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly the funnest machine.

Well, I would guess that would teach a lesson, but probably not the one they wanted.

Put enough mass in the right radius and fusion can't do jack about it. Over a large enough area, IIRC it doesn't actually take a very high density, so it never has to reach a point where it can fuse before the event horizon forms.

Yes and no. Yes, it seems like a lot of countries are ruled by egomaniacs. Maybe this was always true, and we're just more aware of it now due to better media.

But no, that does not mean the countries are equivalently on the brink of collapse. While you could reasonably ask if the US or UK are on the brink of collapse, they aren't on the brink in anything like the way that Turkmenistan is.
Does it seem to you as though the guidelines such as they are (unhelpful comment) tend to be honored more in the breach as the number of emotional comments increases and people's feelings become inflamed? It seems that way to me.

Asking someone to be tolerant of intolerance seems like some weird thing where you ask a Turing machine if another one will halt. It's kind of paradoxical.

The higher education cost rose way faster than inflation, with nearly no return, and no accountability. [1-4]

The Federal guaranteed student loans are a nightmare. Academia knows that she will get paid, no matter what. They raise the prices and do not qualify students properly. When the student drops out in year three, the student ends up with with $50K student loans at 10% interest, that they will take years to pay off, but no college degree to help. If graduated, the degree loses it's value in less than 4 years.

Anyone ever asked you what you got your degree in, or classes, or cared about your magna cum laude after 4 years of work? They why have to pay for it for the next 15 years?

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would say academia created the hysteria about healthcare costs to divert the attention from them forcibly violating the young and immature.

"That was the beginning and the idea seemed so obvious to me that I fell deeply in love with it. And, like falling in love with a woman, it is only possible if you don't know too much about her, so you cannot see her faults. The faults will become apparent later, but after the love is strong enough to hold you to her. So I was held to this theory, in spite of all the difficulties, by my youthful enthusiasm"

No, they’re not. They must hold certain quantities of reserves with the Fed. But banks are free to hold the rest as cash in their vaults.

This is why many countries with negative rates still have zero deposit rates.

Maybe they only recently decided to target RISC-V but the ALU design does not cover all the functions needed. It is missing implementation of the shift instructions, for that they need a 32 bit 5-level barrel shifter. Plus they also need a comparison block which is quite complex on its own. Given the number of years it has taken to get to this point, if could be 2050 before it is working.
The controversy wasn't the ethnicity of the character, it was that the character was portrayed in a stereotypical manner by a white guy no less. It is basically the audio equivalent of blackface.

The Simpsons debuted 30 years ago this year and there are plenty of 30 year old comedies that are extremely objectionable by current standards. It isn't always fair to criticize that comedy since it is important to always judge art in the context in which it was originally created. However, The Simpsons is still running and therefore needs to continue to justify these decisions today and into the future. No one was suggesting that the character should be edited out of past shows or anything, but the show shouldn't be immune to present criticisms about shows created in the present just because the mistake originated 30 years ago.
You're confusing the local observation time of a phenomena with the time the phenomena occurred as observed from our frame of reference and relative distance from its origin.
I'm commenting here.
Indeed, one of the four criteria in determining fair use is "how much" was copied.

You know what another one is? Whether the usage affects the originators ability to make money from their work.

A legal determination of Fair Use is subjective and can only be decided in court. But, citing only one of the four pillars as moral justification while blatantly ignoring the other (equally important) ones is a little rich.

I flew Etihad from Sydney to Abu Dhabi last week. They warned transiting customers that phones and laptops must be charged up before passing airport security in the UK or US.

The TSA already requires that laptops and phones must be powered-on on demand to "prove that they're real". That's already a cybersecurity risk.

I'm relieved that the banned laptops doesn't include my 15" mid-2014 MacBook Pro, or my dad's hand-me-down 13" mid-2015 MacBook Pro that he generously gave to me last week after I helped him repair it.
I don't follow how that relates to the topic being discussed here (HN misconception about the percentage of adult-related users/content/traffic on Tumblr). I only mentioned the logged-in account requirement in response to your claim about non-logged-in traffic being relevant to the stats.

I haven't expressed any opinions about the user experience of the ban, or whether the ban was implemented well, or whether the ban was a good idea or a bad one. I have no horse in that race, and was not involved in the ban's implementation in any way whatsoever.

What I am stating is that I'm directly aware of the rough percentage of Tumblr activity that was adult-related from ~2010-2018, and that percentage is significantly less than the numbers commonly thrown around on HN. But several people here think I'm lying for whatever reason, so clearly it's time for me to bow out of this infuriating gaslight fest.
> It'a not a decision made by US airports, the US requires every person who lands on US soil to clear US customs even if that person's final destination is outside the US (ie. the US doesn't allow sterile transit).

Is it true that they must clear customs _in addition to_ passport/immigration control? If so that is indeed unusual.
Guess laptops will end up like 100% of baby products--recalled so that the resale value is nil.

I provisioned a cloud in my home PC using the free open source equivalents of the Red Hat Cloud Suite. It's not trivial, but I did it in about two weeks.

Red Hat Cloud Forms -> ManageIQ (to manage your virtual private clouds, hypervisors, etc)
Red Hat OpenStack -> DevStack (the cloud itself)
Red Hat OpenShift -> OKC (container orchestration)
Red Hat Virtualization -> oVirt (for VM's)
Red Hat Ansible Tower -> AWX (to automate everything, including deploying all the previous software listed)

If you plan on doing all of this from one machine, understand that you will need to enable nested virtualization which will require some BIOS/OS configuration to make it work.

Emotionless: Privacy-Preserving Speech Analysis for Voice Assistants
Wow, that's a lot of mischaracterizations in one post. First of all, I didn't call anyone a criminal per se. And you're taking my definition of murder far out of context. We're not talking about war here, or some ancient animistic civilization. I think thats pretty disingenuous to present such a straw man. We're talking about the norms of modern society. I was only pointing out that there are certain behaviors that have widespread acceptance as being "not ok in civilized society". The legal definition of murder is murder. I didn't say manslaughter, war, accident, etc. I said murder.

Now, we can go on making moral equivalencies all day, but if you do that, all you have at the end of the day is a bunch of philosophical masturbations that don't help anyone who seeks a greater good for humanity. Believing in something may just be a precursor to an actionable life, but not believing anything is a precursor to nothing.
Can you see comments with RSS feeds? Also do you pay for Feedly?
Indeed you can go very wrong by not doing so. Medical ethics is a balance of risk and benefit, not "What is best for statistical power?" Equipoise is required for trials, and is often a precondition of being able to do studies in these settings.

Heck, a lot of recent work on novel trial designs like stepped-wedge are specifically designed to balance equipoise and statistical needs.

Not if the gas cloud is large enough. Small gas clouds (white dwarfs, neutron 'star's) produce enough presure from particle degeneracy to support themselves against gravity, medium clouds (stars) need active heating (from fusion) to keep gas particles moving fast enough to remain far enough apart to avoid forming a black hole, and for sufficiently large clouds even having the gas particles moving at the speed of light wouldn't be enough to avoid forming a black hole.
Does Feedly/RSS right now with community sites like HN/reddit support all the comments? Do they support comments in blog posts? I may have not played around enough or missed something.

When I tried rss with Feedly before. I wasn’t getting blog post comments. I don’t think reddit/HN comments either but could be wrong there.
