I have no ef-inf clue why it was a total surprise. Metformim, is already known to affect in multiple ways the epigenetics, and the immune system.

Also the so-called epigenetic clock is based on the observation that as we age we are more methylated. Reversing this has not been shown to be true, but it was shown to improve certain functions, like our production of T cells.

This such a click-bait piss-poor paper I can’t believe it’s in Cell. There’s absolutely nothing new, and no proof of anything telling me they have reverse of stopped aging, or even a fraction of it.

> They basically released all the details but TDP. Very likely this sucker is a steaming hot mess.

Very likely it's just going to have the same "lie" for the TDP that they do for all their desktop chips. You can configure it to run at TDP specs, but ~nobody~ does. They instead run at PL2 specs (sustained power delivery rating for turbo), which for the 9900K for example is 210W despite the 95W TDP. Meaning per Intel's own specs the 9900K can run at 210W forever, as long as it has sufficient cooling.

The 9900KS isn't going to be a 5GHz base clock part. It's a 5GHz all-core turbo. The 9900K is, by comparison, 4.7GHz all-core turbo. So we're not talking much of a bump. If they leave the 9900KS at the same base frequency as the 9900K it'll have the same 95W TDP. Maybe they bump it by a 100mhz or something trivial and slap a 105W TDP rating on it. Doesn't really matter since it's a pretend number in made up fairy land anyway.
Well sure, but on the other hand now all your stuff isn't broken. Give and take, I think.

I think that this kind of automated stenography demonstrates that legislation requiring ~~mandated backdoors~~, ahem, "responsible encryption", is completely nonsensical: we could encrypt our messages with something powerful and safe, then encode it with something like this. Boom. Plausible deniability that you were sending anything other than plaintext. Sure, the plaintext is long-winded and verbose, and maybe a little nonsensical, but would a computer be able to reliably distinguish between encrypted-then-stenographically-concealed text and "real" plaintext?

Anyway, really cool work.
I'm confused. The question was about the keystroke assertion, which this link does not discuss.
FYI, Life360 sells your location information, driving habits, and registration details to third-parties including advertisers and insurance companies. From their privacy policy (https://www.life360.com/privacy_policy/):

> One of the 3rd parties who we share data with is Arity. [...] Arity may use this data to [...] provide and service insurance products, including using personal data to perform profiling activities and to provide you with relevant and personalized advertising.

[EDIT] The "more detailed" privacy policy is more explicit (https://life360.helpshift.com/a/life360-family-locator/?s=pr...):

> We share your personal information, driving event data and other information to Arity 875, LLC (“Arity”), which provides driving analytics behavior services to enable us to provide certain functionalities of the Service, such as driving event
history. Arity may also use this information to calculate discounts, rewards or
pricing offers by third parties such as insurance companies, and to perform
various profiling activities in order to produce a score which may predict the
level of driver riskiness, and to develop its risk predictive models for its
own analytics purposes. You hereby acknowledge and consent to the collection

Arity’s privacy policy, which is located at https://www.arity.com/privacy.

So, in other words, they sell your driving information along with your name, phone number, email address, etc. to insurance companies so that they can adjust the prices you're charged based on how you drive.
Agreed, though I would take the (possibly) more charitable interpretation that many HNers get that FB understands the mainstream, but struggle to understand why the mainstream is the way it is. Or they do understand the mainstream, but feel the need to rail against them for what they view as naïveté and short-term thinking.

For me, I'm surprised it took FB this long to launch a dating feature. Despite their decline in some demographics, they are still uniquely positioned to do a much more comprehensive (I hesitate to say "better") job of connecting people on the romantic side than a random new dating startup, or even possibly one of the giants like Match.

Perhaps they've hesitated for so long because they were afraid FB users would be afraid of mixing their public FB life too closely with their dating life?
Nobody views themselves as a bad person. If you want to understand actual motives, it is important to remember this. Your assertion is surely applicable to some sadist cops, but not to the average voter that gets riled up by the political/media establishment.

I've seen the prices on QLC SSDs. I feel like currently they MIGHT reach the same price as spinning rust. At that point it's a trade between seek time and reliability.

Within that context I still see spinning rust as the longer term archive / bulk storage media. The QLC storage might provide a good precaching layer in more complex systems, and might eventually reach it's seemingly intended price point (rather than being a small discount to TLC drives that are more mature and higher performing).

The 'order of magnitude' I'm hoping for might be as small as binary (half) for me to consider it... but at 10X the storage per price it's where I hope something with no moving parts and less drive housing should be.
The data doesn’t support this though in the example I gave. This is why many cities like LA are switching to a single provider per area. Note, there still is competition. The contracts go through a bidding process and a competitor could try and develop more efficient processes in a different district of LA. It just doesn’t make sense to have five providers serving the same block in a residential area as it drives up the costs for everyone. For more rural areas, the issue becomes that the capex to support the landfill and truck buildout doesn’t typically support multiple competitors.

I suppose this isn’t much different than a development team trying to work in both Postgres and MySQL. Sure, maybe you hedged your bets and your team uses both to experiment which is better, but at some point, it likely is better to develop expertise and experience in one of them especially if it’s a small team.

A cross-platform filesystem that you could read/write from Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android

I wonder if that is possible to implement right now... It’s simple to adapt something like a raspberry pi to become a usb device, pluggable into another computer. It could emulate a USB drive, but depending upon the host computer’s OS, it could present the raw drive data as a different file system, fat/ntfs/ext4/whatever, and translate the host’s reads and writes back into the appropriate reads and writes of an internal ‘universal’ filesystem.

You’d have to make compromises to cope with FS-specific features (like how to translate users/groups onto a more basic FAT representation of the storage, etc) but in principle it could work.

...except I’m not sure if a usb device can detect the OS of the system it is plugged into?

Your current SSD already has a beefy computer with lots of ram to handle the flash translation layer.

Raw flash has very onerous constraints on how it can be written: (numbers are from recent QLC chips)

The smallest unit that can be accessed is the individual page (64kB). Those pages belong to blocks (18MB). Each page can be either dirty or clean. You can read any page, but you can only write to clean pages (turning them dirty). To turn dirty pages back to clean, you have to erase them, and you can only erase the entire block containing the page at once. Also, each block can only be erased a certain amount of times (500) until it can no longer be written to.

As you can see, the API this provides is just awful, especially considering what kind of operations (random read/write of 4kB) operating systems offer to programs. So, in order to provide an api operating systems can actually use, there is a massive garbage-collected translation layer on top of the raw flash that makes it usable.

The idea of key-value SSDs is that given that the block layer api is entirely artificial, it might not be the best choice to present to the OS.

Doesn't that directly contradict your previous post?
This is so amazing!

Here in the US, when we had our twins, we knew that we would need a similar service - we hired a night nanny (note: just for nights, not daytime). Price was high, but our firstborn was difficult we knew we were out of our depth with upcoming twins (not to mention actually taking care of the older kid).

The night nanny did not monitor medical though.

Family is a great ideal, but often grandma doesn't remember how to take care the newborn, or help the mom.

So my understanding of it was that the framers were generally tepid about the idea of standing armies, especially standing armies managed by the federal government. They wanted instead the armies to consist of militias organized by the states, and the command structure to ultimately roll up to the Commander-in-Chief.

The expectation was varied over who would arm the militias -- Congress, the states, or the people bringing their own weapons. To preserve the possibility of the last option, they wrote the second amendment so that when people went to join the militia, they would already have their own guns (and other armaments, like cannon, horses, etc.) that they could bring along.

This involves a whole bevy of unstated assumptions about firearm ownership based on the experience fighting the British. So if I were to rephrase the amendment to remove the brevity, I think it would read something like this: "In order that the states may raise and maintain a militia that is well-organized and trained, people must own and be prepared to bear their own personal armament in service of that militia, and therefore Congress may not forbid people from owning arms and by doing so prevent the states from raising militias outside of Congress's authority."

So I personally feel that this sentiment, while noble for the time, is outdated and no longer applicable, especially since the remnants of state militias are insignificant compared to the deployed power of the federal standing army, and we don't expect that to change. But it is what it is, and we have a process already for modifying the constitution when its dictates are no longer applicable, as we did with slavery, as we did with the voting age, as we did with income taxes. We should be using the power of amending the constitution to update it to reflect the reality of firearm ownership in the present time.

I guess the one thing if you accept my interpretation of the amendment that might be open to interpretation is that the states could arguably have the power to regulate the right to keep and bear arms as they see fit; the debate was mostly federal vs. state rather than government vs. individual, even if in the end it is expressed as an individual right that enforces the state's right.
Nobody has to, but too many have, thats the whole point.
Can anyone expand on this? Perhaps some alternative to ebay that sells by the kilo
I can tell you my experience of having witnessed some companies move to “slack”, “Jira” etc. There were multiple similar cases.

It went something like this:

“We are now ‘agile’

Ok what are all the cool agile dev ops companies using?

Aha Jira&Slack. Ok let’s use that”

From there it gets even more crazy. The tools get included as a standard question for evaluating vendors on RFP’s. Vendors that use a similar toolset are rated more highly.

When you question why. The response is along the lines of:

“Oh if they are using Jira/slack/other tool, it must be an agile/dev ops/chat ops shop”

Put another way sometimes these tools end up being used as a “signal” to others rather than intrinsic value. The value is in the signalling, driven by social proof.

If one can pull this of when marketing your product you have a win. Effectively you have associated a movement (I.e agile) with your product (I.e Jira). So the buy decision is driven by the need to show they are doing {x}.

There must be some basis Of this and reading on how this is done? The broad topic would be marketing but what specifically?

Notes:

* This is merely an observation. I am not judging the accuracy of the statement that using a specific product = demonstrating some property.

These associations may not be applicable in all markets and I have seen them change over time.

There's a very easy to understand use-case in storing data where you don't really care about the type or querying capacity. Imagine you've got an API request coming in; your server generates the response, and then you cache that response in a TTL'd KV store where the key is some deterministic hash of the appropriate information from the request (method, path, body, requestor, etc). Future requests just use the cache for a bit.

Here, we don't care what gets stored there, because our API server isn't really "using" the data that gets returned; we just throw it back at the client. We also don't care about complex querying. That's where KV stores shine.

Its just a different pattern for different use-cases, at least in DB land. If you need complex querying, then KV probably isn't for you. But, if you need ridiculously fast lookups and perfect horizontal scalability, then you could equally say that SQL isn't for you, and KV is.
All those should be possible; you just might not observe the state of the counter as it was a few milliseconds(?) ago, rather than what it might be right now. If you're dealing with extremely frequent updates where the chances of observing that sort of anomaly are more common, chances are the precise value of the counter doesn't matter so much, and an occasional off-by-one or off-by-two isn't the end of the world. YMMV, of course. :)

Should just go straight to A. The way the numbers work is that the prefixes are assigned to various operators. When you transfer, the "owning" operator forwards calls on to the target operator. If you returned presumably the forwarding is removed.

(From [0]): "One of the very few countries not to use ACQ/CDB is the UK, where once a number has been ported, calls to that number are still routed via the donor network. This is also known as "indirect routing" and is highly inefficient as it is wasteful of transmission and switching capacity."

And

"Because of its donor dependent nature, indirect routing also means that if the donor network develops a fault or goes out of business, the customers who have ported numbers out of that network will lose incoming calls to their numbers."

I actually assumed Stripe had a bank license/charter (a quick Google search after your comment suggests they do not).

>Usury laws typically apply to consumers, not loans to businesses.

That may be a fair characterization, but its definitely a jurisdictional issue state to state. I know some States for sure exempt commercial loans, others exempt loans over certain amounts, and some exempt loans to certain businesses by industry (but not a outright exemption on commercial loans).

Obviously Stripe has a good public image, but unfortunately with SV unicorns like Uber, AirBnB, CoinBase (almost any cryptocoin/blockchain start up), its not unfair to say we should just assume business practice comply with the law.

I know how flash works. Linux, for example, supports all the "weirdness" of flash with an MTD module which is low-resource enough for single-core sub 1GHz routers with 16MB and 32MB of RAM to handle. I don't see how that is a burden to a 32-core or higher amd64 architecture CPU in a database server whatsoever.

And SSDs already abstract that without adding a key-value store on top of it.

IBM mainframes had key-indexed hard disks back in the 1960s – CKD (and later ECKD). Each disk sector could have a key field at the start, and rather than addressing disk sectors by physical location, you could tell the hard disk "give me the data of sector with key 1234", and it would go search for that sector and return it to you. (I think, you still had to tell it what disk track to search on, and it just did a sequential scan of the disk track...)

A lot more primitive than this, of course, but funny how old ideas eventually become new again.

I don't agree. Allowing someone to list their relationship status on their otherwise-non-dating-site profile is a far far cry from providing tools and UX to help people match with others they might be interested in.

Certainly people have found romantic partners on FB in the past 15 years, but I would view that as in spite of the lack of dating-related features. Up until now, FB has not been geared toward or especially useful as a dating platform, especially given the availability of dating apps that actually fill that niche.

I think FB Dating has the potential to be way more successful to a mainstream audience than nearly any dating app built to date, though.
I don’t see how they can have the ipo under these conditions. Who would buy into it after their early backers decide they don’t want to invest more at half the price.
My thoughts exactly. You know what else can bias voters? Expert testimony, even in fields outside their expertise. Religious leaders. Teachers. Flyers. Advertisements. In fact, just about any form of communication by anybody. Without comparing the size of the bias to other forms of influence, this is a nearly contentless statement.
