These things sound like a kind of socialism to me (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Economics).

"Various work programs designed to establish full-employment for the German population were instituted once the Nazis seized full national power. Hitler encouraged nationally supported projects like the construction of the Autobahn highway system, the introduction of an affordable people's car (Volkswagen) and later the Nazis bolstered the economy through the business and employment generated by military rearmament. The Nazis benefited early in the regime's existence from the first post–Depression economic upswing, and this combined with their public works projects, job-procurement program and subsidised home repair program reduced unemployment by as much as 40 percent in one year.
...
Upon being appointed Chancellor in 1933, Hitler promised measures to increase employment, protect the German currency, and promote recovery from the Great Depression. These included an agrarian settlement program, labor service, and a guarantee to maintain health care and pensions."

Of course, you could say that Republicans in the United States have also done some of these things, but again, that would be Socialism on the right.
I've got Supermicro -F servers and I've got PowerEdge servers with iDRAC Enterprise. Yes, the Supermicro servers have basic remote management features but the iDRAC Enterprise offers so much more.

If you're just running a couple servers in a home lab, yeah, it's probably not worth it but for a company with a bunch of servers the additional management features are absolutely worth it, IMO.

A good talk about the "technical debt" metaphor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XakfJ2spb3w

tl;dr: Technical debt can be categorized on 2 axes: Planned vs unplanned, and high interest vs. low interest. Interest is paid down in pain. If you are not experiencing any pain, it's not actually tech debt.

Low interest, planned tech debt (akin to a mortgage) is ok because presumably the cost of the interest is lower than the returns.

High interest, unplanned tech debt (akin to a loan shark, or pawn shop) is best to be avoided, because you're experiencing a lot of pain probably without a clear vision for paying it off. You're just continually paying the interest/experiencing pain.
Are you arguing that everyone should be able to buy a house, that they can live in forever, with cash they have with little savings?

The problem with that is that if a poor person can afford a house with cash, then a slightly richer person would just go, "wow, I can buy a really big house! Or two!", and suddenly there is no more space.

Jeffrey Epstein's Death Was on 4Chan Before Officials Announced It
Hackers makes the top of my list of "Hacker" movies, not for any kind of technical/realistic chops, which they deliberately eschew, but purely for its artistic direction.

Reasons why I love this movie:

- Has the best costumes: Leather, Spandex, cheetah print, that fluffy cat tshirt Phreak wears in one scene. They contribute to a colorful portrayal of a 90's New York overrun by Club Kids, which no other movie except Party Monster really touches. It reminds me a lot of the Fifth Element in some ways.

- Has the most memorable characters and talent. Acid Burn, Zero Cool, The Phreak, Cereal Killer, and Joey, not to mention Agent Gills, Razor and Blade, and of course still-dressing-in-the-dark Eugene (Don't call me Eugene)

- Has the best soundtrack: Massive Attack, Prodigy, Underworld, Stereo MC's, and more. This movie served as a gateway to high-school-aged me to a whole world of 90's trip-hop and electronica that I still enjoy.

- No other hackers movie can claim to have a "Hack the Gibson" level influence for its one-liners and references, except maybe War Games.

- Hilariously corny lines and delivery. Perfectly toes the line between being funny-bad and just bad-bad. No matter how many times I see this movie I die every time Gills says "You are floating, and I'm about to flush yo ass!"

You can probably tell I've seen this movie way too many times, but I'll never get tired of watching it.

Let's hope Google doesn't intend to enable the feature for the 2020 elections (or any election), because this one thing could single-handedly do to Google PR-wise and politics-wise what the trending topics did to Facebook in 2016/2017.
This is pretty laughable for me.

Many Americans are underserved by their assigned politicians. Gerrymandering based on political gain merely makes it worse. The most representative folks they have to vote for generally have little power to change things because of the local nature. Not saying not to vote - in fact, I encourage it - but this seriously also isn't as easy as simply voting.

It gets even trickier if you are American and live overseas. You still have to file taxes even if you've not lived on american soil for years. If you are in a low-tax nation, you might have to pay the American government taxes. You still theoretically can vote in at least federal elections based on where you lived before you moved, but... seriously, the voting forms ask if I'll be living in the US again and when. I have absolutely no confidence in being heard by any politician and truly don't feel that my vote counts. This is especially true where I'm from - Indiana - and have never really had a politician reflect my views nor have I gotten much more than a form letter in response to a letter.

I have more representation where I live and I'm not a citizen. I can vote in local elections here in Norway, so have some representation at least.

There isn't a guarantee, but there are incentives for phone/platform providers to avoid spying on you in a battery-powered device. Battery life is still a primary selling point, and these companies are fighting hard to maximize battery life on your device. Turning on the camera is among the most power-hungry tasks, as it activates the image signal processor block of your SoC (which is millions of gates and a high speed transfer interface). It would be difficult to produce a competitive device which spies on its users.
engine262 is primarily designed as an interface for developing and verifying JavaScript languages features as they're added to the JavaScript specification. If you read through the source, most of the code mirrors the algorithms as they appear in the specification. As such, performance is an explicit non-goal.

If I expected interest rates to go even more negative, buying a negative yielding bond in anticipation of a capital gain is a rational trade.

Also banks and certain investors are mandated to purchase debt with certain ratings - in the absence of positive-yielding appropriately rated bonds they have no choice but to accept the negative yield.

1. Stop disassociating with everyone whose opinions you disagree with. Include the "wrong and stupid" in your communities, as long as they're not toxic.

2. Learn about how people actually change their minds, instead of trying to coerce and shame them and then shunning them when they don't take your point of view instantly.

3. Be open-minded to the valid points they may have. Almost no one is 100% wrong, and you are not 100% right. But when you start from a "you're wrong and stupid" perspective, your audience digs in their heels deeper.

4. Coordinate memetic campaigns to provide an alternative viewpoint to people who might be on the verge of being taken in by the wrong and stupid.

5. Provide a safe harbor for people who might possibly change their minds. Recognize that by changing their worldview they may be shunned by their existing family, friends, and/or community. They need to know that if they join your worldview they're not going to be shamed for not joining it sooner.
The idea that web communities and content have become standardized enough to have a single look-and-feel client is an intriguing idea. And it looks beautiful.

Unfortunately, I just wouldn't install a native app for that. My browser is plenty performant to handle it, and I want to be able to call it up wherever I am -- on my home computer, work computer, friend's computer, backup work laptop, whatever -- without having to bother to install something. (And some companies don't let you install software.) Also I'd want to hide stories I've already read and want that to be synced, which necessitates a server anyways.

I'm genuinely curious what benefit a native app has here, why that direction was taken? I can honestly only see drawbacks. (I can understand an app on mobile, just not on desktop.)
It's only government bonds that go negative. Corporate bonds will always provide a positive yield.
Lest anyone is tempted to comment "But clean energy!" here's a relevant paragraph:

"The dam produced only 3.5 megawatts of power, providing less than 0.1 percent of Maine’s electricity. It employed only a few people and was aging and unsafe, having been breached numerous times. It blocked critical upstream fish habitat, including the migration of endangered sturgeon."

Especially in light of how breaching the dam did, in fact, bring the hoped-for environmental benefits and more, getting rid of it was the right thing from a cost/benefit perspective.

Great post. It's not a coincidence that Python became successful. Guido is principled. He can say "No". He has a clear design vision that helps him differentiate between cool features and real user problems.

Honestly, inside me it makes me wonder if we're seeing the cultural movement toward more progressive ideals, or if we're just seeing the cumulative generational shift away from what their parents stood for.

Meaning - WWII's "the greatest generation" was a relatively conservative generation, and it's gone more liberal in terms of social movements ever since. Are we going to keep seeing this movement toward liberalism, or are we going to see children rebel against their parents and move toward more traditional and conservative values?

This is a very well considered comment. I identify a lot with this.

Modern society is a very abstract place in which people find it difficult to meaningfully trade favour. In cities at least, a whole bunch of stuff is out of the control of individuals and in the control of a bureaucracy.

Wanting to escape that I don't see as being foreign at all.

Makes me think of the movie Falling Down. There are certainly times that I enter some sort of internal monologue and just think - look, I'm here, open and kind; perhaps not always, but in this moment I am. And others are here acting as obstacles... because it's "their job", or whatever.
Strange how the users "justicezyx" and "sniperjzp" are both actively spreading disinformation in this thread. Is it just a coincidence that their usernames are 1 noun + 3 random letters?
The "data anonymization" defense is a pet peeve of mine and it's truly meaningless in this case. Stripping out explicitly identifying information from the data doesn't provide much privacy when the rest of the data potentially consist of things like your mom reciting her SSN to you or you discussing your doctors appointments in detail. Even if they vetted only seemingly trivial transcriptions, there is the possibility that, e.g., the computer heard "my chaise couch" when a human would clearly hear "my Chase account."
So they're like a modern ebaums world for the information age.

Well, your impression is just wrong. Simple as that. No shame in it.

Today what is called a super computer is usually just a cluster (i.e. multiple connected normal spec computers). It is normally connected with a high speed interconnect though (100 Gbit/sec and more) what is its most defining capability.

Why they are using this cluster? My speculation is that probably because it is available and does not have much use for the real scientific computing (because it is old https://bluewaters.ncsa.illinois.edu/hardware-summary) and intelligence agency prefers to rather support the academia then feed some commercial entity.
>Please tell me this was a gay bar. If it wasn't, it should have been.

Heh. I thought someone might have had that reaction to the name. From the Houston Press:

Power Tools A long-gone cousin of Numbers, Power Tools is still a sacred name (not to mention a powerful memory) among Houston's industrial/goth/EBM crowd, with the downtown subterranean space now occupied by hip-hop/EDM-heavy Kryptonite. Like a few of its kin, Power Tools is practically un-Google-able, but one flyer we did find (again via Ozone City Outrage) offers a powerful whiff: Butthole Surfers. Mid-August. All ages. CHRIS GRAY

But to answer your question, not a gay bar.

> Institutions don't have that luxury - the government doesn't insure large amounts of cash. If they keep it in a bank and the bank goes under, they lose their money. So they keep their money in national governments, which are far safer than banks.

Due to the low interest rates German insurance companies are already considering to store cash in their own vaults instead of buying bonds: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=de&tl=en&u=htt...

Slightly negative interest rates work because physically storing cash is going to be more expensive than buying bonds (especially if you factor in costs for security, insurance, etc.). But if interest rates decreases further it's soon going to be cheaper to store cash, which is going to create a lower bound for the interest rate (assuming the government doesn't prohibit storing large amounts of cash).

> The fundamental IPC primitive is window messages, which is a microkernel-esque very fast inter-thread/process context switch tool.

A fun way to think about Windows, is that it's what Erlang would be if the kernel expected to be able to store GUI state in the process dictionary, such that every actor-process can potentially play a secondary role as a GUI element; and every GUI element is necessarily a first-class actor-process. (These actor-processes being a tree originally rooted in one actor-process holding the kernel state for an OS process—that is, until COM multi-threaded apartments came along and wrecked the abstraction.)

I thought this was only about the search app/widget, not also about the browser and the browsers default search engine. My bad.

But I don't think it's just shifting down the problem.

Right now the search app, browser and search engine of the browser are all Google. I don't think an unremovable* search widget on phones is necessary. And I think Google wants to keep it there because they know people will choose Google, especially since that one is installed by default and users just get the choice between installing an extra app or skip that step.
