having cloudflare in front is even better than just DDNS: you can hide your origin ip and avoid being DOSed.

I then use chrome's ssh extension with nassh-relay[1] to ssh, allowing me to not ever need to know the ip of my machine.

> Is it possible that Google does have "control" over the data after broadcast, albeit legal control via contracts with advertisers (as opposed to technical control)?

That distinction is important. I’m happy that privacy advocates are realising that platforms having access to enforceable contracts is key–too many are quick to paint platforms as the source of the problem and not an agent who, with the right tools, could organise a market.

Facebook has suggested having an independent court what is acceptable content in their platform. Google could think about delegating the control of how its IDs are used to an independent entity with the power to audit its partners’ data practice properly.
In addition to Differential Privacy, Secure Multiparty Computation is another way to maintain privacy, while allowing computation across multiple users.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_multi-party_computati...

The benefit of this is that you can get an exact computation, whereas with differential privacy the output is rougher.

The benefit of differential privacy is that it does not rely on the trust of a majority of other users; you can theoretically verify that a certain percent of the time your device sends out a wrong answer.

Club of Rome predictions are pretty much spot on. It's been re-evaluated two or three times recently and each time has held up an amazingly accurate picture of what has happened since. See here for the graphs filled in the intervening years[1]. I don't recall any ice predictions from Club of Rome - do you have a link?

In the 1980s the world actually came together to phase out CFCs, and fit sulphur scrubbers on coal power stations. Interestingly the builders of Battersea were the first to fit these - in 1925. They took a while to catch on.

The ozone hole has finally stopped increasing only this decade. It's trending to resolve in 50 more years, if and only if, the recent discovery of CFC use in China doesn't grow. So a century to probably solve the man-made problem.

No, it's exactly correct.

The fourteenth amendment has been interpreted to mean all sorts of things that weren't actually in it. That's establishing new rights based on inferences about what maybe was supposed to be but didn't quite make it into the document.

The 2nd is a very clear piece of writing. There's no ambiguity about it, and Scalia carefully deconstructs all of the BS that other people have written and tried to make it out to be, in explaining how it has always meant exactly what it said.

Likewise, despite what Stats 101 would tell you, we don’t actually run a ton of placebo-controlled clinical trials. Instead, the new thing (a baby box) gets compared against the current standard.
Going by the roadmaps, that seems to be pretty much exactly their plan. Fabs that were slated for 10nm have been retrofitted for 14nm, or are rolling on to 7nm.

I would be surprised if they haven't. i9-9900KS is still based on renamed Skylake core from 2016 scarred by Spectre mitigations at 14nm optimized to death.

My guess is that they were too optimistic with 10nm and no one started an alternative project on 14nm when the time was right.

They already claim +18% IPC on Ice Lake (because they basically dropped at least one generation and fixed security issues at least partially). When they resolve problems with the process (either by succeeding with 7nm or switching to TSMC) they will be very likely competetive again.
I think Venus is one of the uglier planetary bodies but this was a fascinating read and the images are spectacular, especially that of Venus' nose on the pole.

I feel much the same way. The one I have came with 2 batteries and with a couple more I think you could continually swap out and it only takes second with no tools required. The charge time was under half hour. But like you say I don’t know if I could push myself to pay 1000$ for a drone. I mean with one like that you can do a lot more and the range is a lot farther but at that price I would be terrified to lose it if it ever left my sight. The 50$ drone I push for my own adrenaline’s sake, over the water, through the trees, over the death spot if it dies. But if 1000$ falls into the water I will be swimming and I don’t like getting wet!

I think you are taking my post far too "literally" (can't think of a better term sorry). I can't blame you though, the internet does not really convey the implicit nuance that I intended with this post.

Yes you are right, my point was more to respond to the increasing culture of "sleep obsession" these days which I think is more often than not resulting in even worse sleep due to the anxiety it causes.

You can't really compare TDP and turbo clocks between AMD and Intel. [1]

The 9900k draws 168W at full load and is also specified for 95W TDP. This chip is likely going to use more.
A 3900X draws 142W for comparison. (12 cores lower clocks 7nm)

I don’t know what to make of your comment. One of the politicians during yesterday’s CNN climate change debate said the following:

"No individual can be expected singlehandedly to solve this problem. It's going to require national action. And by the way -- this is why we invented government. It's for dealing with issues that are too big for each of us to do on our own."

This is a humanity scale problem and government, by way of politicians and lawyers, and yes engineers, is how we deal with humanity scale problems.

Scientists and engineers put us on the moon, but it was government that directed and enabled them to do so.

Intel TDPs are the base clock, not the boost clock. AMDs are the boost clock.

A 9900K might specify a 95W TDP, but at 5GHz it will actually use almost 170W.

Yeah, journalists, scientists and the media in general are great at making these kind of predictions. I'm almost 40 now and I've heard it all before. With all of our great advances, we can't accurately track the path of a hurricane a day or two out. Stop trying to predict the demise of the planet.

Just to build on this, modern triple-A games are incredibly asset-based. It doesn't matter how good a coder you are, unless you have an art department producing every single tiny little detail of your in-game assets, they're going to look terrible.

This is part of the reason low-fi games are making a comeback in the indie scene, because they can actually look good with only one or two artists working on them (or even sometimes with programmer art.)
Good reply, but..

Regarding 1: In the article, they describe an antenna that is MORE sensitive than the normal antennas. So you may not be able to detect the low frequency radio-waves without a similar sensitive apparatus.

Regarding 2: There is the problem that Electric signals can have high similarities with the "Chirps" that LIGO is looking for.
For example: even in space, you can find all kinds of "chirps" caused by solar plasma. google "noises from space".
Wouldn't it be nice it it were something as simple as setting a timeline. The reality is, it's a combination of two things (mainly):

1) We can't afford to undermind the economy. That is, any plan that cuts back on consumption (even in the short term) is going to hurt an already hurting economy[1]. However, there aren't any "leader(s)" who want to be pinned with such things so the buck gets passed.

2) Along the same lines, we've convenience'd ourselves into a corner. At this point, sacrifices (in the context of status quo lifestyles / cultural expectations) need to be made; habits needed to be changed. But again, there's no leader willing to disrupt that which needs to be disrupted. We talk a good game when it comes to wanting change but then once the call comes in, we whine. "Leaders" that cause people to whine don't get elected / re-elected. It used to be, "at war" mean the POTUS (in the USA) had carte blanche to ask for help and sacrifice. Now we live in a world where "at war" means to keep the masses distracted by keeping up with the Kardashians.

[1] Not to get off topic (but to prove my point); there's a reason fracking hocket-stick'ed under the previous POTUS. That reason is, the Fed had shot it wad and keeping the cost of fuel down is a proxy for economic stimulation (without having to say so). Ultimately, we tossed Mother Nature under the bus to keep the economy from going tits-up. If that's what "green presidents" can get away with, then that doesn't exactly raise the bar for the rest.

I think what he means is sometimes there is a benefit to having one service provider. For instance, it is cheaper if a city offers trash pickup in a district to one service provider. The logic is that it’s much more efficient to have one truck stop at each house versus trucks zig zagging around each other.

I don't think that works for some people.

But my spouse can't - she tosses and turns, full of anxiety. It's not sleep worries, it's life worries - when the lights go out the voices rush in. We're working right now with mindfulness and meditation to see if that helps because she needs tools to help shut off her brain.

Apple has been talking (and implementing) Differential Privacy for years.
I think the parent commenter is also living in a bit of a bubble and thinking that all of America lives in a monoculture. There are still points in this country that are patrolled by a single sheriff and a couple of deputies and can be more than 10 minutes out. This doesn't mean they need an arsenal at their disposal, but supposing that they they need NO guns for farm work, hunting or protection from animals or people is either disingenuous or unimaginative.
A good liquid cooler doesn't really buy you lower temperatures than a good air cooler, it just provides more thermal mass and a larger area for heat exchange to the air, so you can achieve the same sort of temps with less noise.
Well they don’t explain the mechanism well:

> you can't carry an RPG or a machine gun or most kinds of arms that have been invented subsequently to it's introduction

You actually can, subject to local regulations, and it is permitted in some States. An American can own a ballistic missile if they register it and store it safely. Even in the 1990s, buying a truckload of high explosives was cash and carry.

Most Americans are surprised to the extent this is true because, as a practical matter, it has never been evident in most of the country. Just because you legally can does not mean anyone exercises that right, outside of very rare outliers with money to burn.
My takeaway is different: we are beyond the tipping point. Even if we technically would not, our inability to make good decisions as a group dooms us. The good strategy is to prepare to live through the extinction event, and use that as the proof of need for better group decisions (a.k.a. politics). We do have the scientific knowledge to design a much better system, but the same knowledge hints that the momentums of the system, set by the current motivational structure would not allow a change for better without a collapse.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Of course we can't instantly solve global carbon emissions. But we can do our (very large) part here in the U.S. By shifting where our dollars go. By moving from carbon to renewable sources, we'll drop the price of renewables, helping small economies afford to do the same.

Progress is virtually always incremental. We need to begin by stopping dragging our feet.
That sounds more like a post-hoc justification, and I'm sure you could find similar ones for other rights - I gave just one out of many possible examples. Private property is great, until you're faced with a monopoly or environmental damage, free speech is wonderful, until you run into libel and threats, being "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" likewise only applies as long as is "reasonable".
In the EU it's also possible to get a fraudulent charge reversed, but fraudulent charges are much rarer.
The only issue is that you won't be able to find reasonable libraries for it, all of them are just PoCs without testing or stability.

Man, I wish I could have hacked a solution together like this with my neighbor. We moved away 4 weeks ago because it ended up as the only viable solution. Story went like this:

Living in dense city apartments, large German city, our thoughtful upstairs neighbors decided to play very loud hardcore techno at 2am (!) during weekdays - every single day. They were students but the area is not cheap at all. Without external support, German students would have a very hard time paying rent in that area. This area is primarily for well-off yuppies with large incomes. For those students, I strongly suspected mommy and daddy pay for the rent (and the drugs, see below).

Aside from breaking mentally down and degenerating into thoughts of vengeance over this insane level of assholeness, we recovered and tried to be productive according to following steps:

1) Go upstairs, ask them to turn it down -> no response at the door, tried and retried 6 times in total over several days in between the following resolution attempts

2) Intermittently, random screaming and banging against our walls in frustration

3) After doors were never opened and a conversation was not possible, we emailed facility management/landlord -> quiet nights for a handful of days

3) After loud music started up again one day (because why not?) we finally called the police. A step which is somehow both radical and useless at once. Police, annoyed by our noise complaint, banged against the neighbors doors. It took > 5min of banging and police yelling until neighbors opened the door. You could hear the excuse: "Sorry, fell asleep with the music on."

That's like falling asleep in a laser-light electronic music club. Bullshit excuse for "we are drugged up as shit and don't care about our neighbors who have to go to work at 7am because <insert garbage justification>"

Well, it became quiet for 3 weeks. Thought they learned their lesson. Then it started over again and at that point we had exhausted all rational options.

Repeated complaints against landlord lead to nothing. So there was no leverage left. In the end we moved. Thankfully that wasn't our only motivation to move but if you're a bit unlucky, noisy neighbors can mess your life up. Finding apartments here is really hard and I don't want to imagine if we had built our dream apartment in our dream area and were screwed over by these people for no reason at all.
