Where is the divide for you between governing and engineering society? I assume this answer varies among people as it frames the same situation in two differently opinionated ways.
How common are things like that? I'm not American, but my impression is that these stories tend to describe exceptions. Is this just a particularly radical subset of students in a particularly radical college or is this representative of a larger pattern?
Facebook is creating a technical platform very similar to other platforms already in use that enables many things; most of which are neither new nor illegal.

The financial instrument part of it is getting all the attention here even though it's hardly essential to Libra (the platform as a whole). That too is not new and they'd have to apply existing legislation in a way that is consistent with how they are already applying it.

That's the key point. Failing to do that would create a lot of problems; which automatically translates into court cases and judges deciding on what is the correct way to do this rather than politicians. That will take many years. Existing legislation is the only legislation that matters because creating new laws or emergency laws would be very hard; especially considering that nobody seems to agree on what should actually be in those laws.

So we're getting a vague "we don't like that sort of thing" in response to a deliberately vague press release a few months ago that wasn't being very specific on a lot of things. It's a political statement not actually backed up by concrete plans to change legislation or instruct authorities to interpret it in a certain way. It's a hollow threat.

Of course you have to see this in the context of the bigger picture of tax dodging and privacy violations associated with big US tech companies operating in Europe and the public pressure to do something about that. That's what this is. Political posturing.
It strikes me that these “woke” students and faculty who value victimization over free speech are simply lazy. It takes far less effort to justify a position with dogma than with an intelligent, nuanced argument.

Your point that self-education often tends toward narrowness is well-taken, but I strongly disagree with the implication that any significant number of autodidacts are overrated in the way that your two examples are.

I too have signed up to a mooc, simply to watch a particular lecture or two on a topic - as recommended by colleagues or friends. No intention of completing the course, and in fact very happy with the content.

Perhaps they need a box on the signup or viewing form, to indicate "just checking it out to see if I'm interested", or "just here to watch part of the course".

Here in Australia, when students finish high school and enter university it is common to hear them given the advice that it is "okay to change" after a year of your course. Get a feel for it, decide if it is actually for you, calibrate against the teaching/learning style, measure the enjoyment vs effort etc. I imagine MOOCs are starkly in contrast (provide an email address) to the complexity of signing up for a university degree.

Who knows, maybe students even form opinions by partially completing MOOCs in topics they might want to study at a tertiary institution!
The kernel itself is compressed, and among the first things that happen after the bootloader hands off to the kernel is that the stub at the beginning of the kernel decompresses the rest of the kernel.

And in this case they don't appear to be using any initrd for the root filesystem, just hurrying to bring up access to the full filesystem over eMMC.
What has changed since you were in college, is that everyone is much more hooked into a network, where every misguided thought or utterance is broadcast to everyone on the network, and immediately pseudo evaluated through likes/views/retweets/upvotes etc. That was never the case, when I went to college and said/thought/did misguided things all the time.

It's the wrong architecture to educate anyone. The only thing such environments, do is produce insecurity, defensiveness and rebellion on large scales. The reaction to which is "safe spaces, trigger warnings, and microaggressions". And then we get reactions to those reactions, rather than focusing on the underlying change in architecture that has happened.
I am always amazed when people make comments like this:

"The results of the University of Texas at Austin’s first full-semester foray into massive open online courses, or MOOCs, are in."

"Professor Michael Webber’s “Energy 101,” which had an enrollment that peaked at around 44,000 students, had 5,000 receive a certificate of completion — about 13 percent of the roughly 38,000 students who ultimately participated."

So let's unpack this a bit. Professor Webber created a class called "Energy 101" and processed 5,000 students through it to completion. Your typical 100 level undergraduate class might have anywhere from 50 to 200 students in it.

UT Austin this year had 8690 freshman total.

So assuming the largest possible class of 200, this professor in one semester taught the equivalent of 25 semesters of 200 student classes, in one semester.

Why should we care that 32,000 people signed up and then said "Woah, really don't have the time to commit to this right now?"

It is one thing to move to a campus dorm and start studying some topic. It is quite another to click a few links on a web page and say, "Yeah, that could be an interesting class."
Well I've seen Silicon Valley folks in this very forum dismiss the enlightenment era/liberal principles of free speech, so I think it's widespread enough to feel it in regular life, especially if you're young in America's larger urban areas.
Sounds context dependent. Asking for evidence can certainly be an aggressive act—asking for evidence of the holocaust in certain situations would be interpreted as holocaust denial. This sounds like traditional media context erasure to create a story out of nothing.
PGO detects hot/cold functions and places them together¹ ², but I imagine whatever it needs on startup is probably not especially hot. …Though it might all be cold, which would have the same effect, actually.

This is a common misconception. It's not built with ICC, it's built with GCC (and some parts maybe with Clang).

I for one welcome Libra, but only for exactly one purpose.

The next time governments bail out another bank, they should just hand them a zillions Libras and ask the banks to collect the actual money from Facebook when they need it. Don't know if that is technically possible, but I would certainly support such a bailout scheme. :-)

You can also use the apriori probability of a positiv, instead of a cost, which can be roughly deduced from existing litterature.

The strenght here is that you get rid of an arbitrary decision (p-value) and instead use quantities that can be measured and critiqued by a skeptical reviewer.

But, in my experience with small data, the impact of the size of the dataset dwarfed the impact of the cost/probability.

Honest question: how should we take Bloomberg articles mainly based on opinion or original investigations ?

I don’t study in the US so have no opinion about US college, so don’t have any way to tell if these claims are any valid. Bloomberg has an history of making bold and empty claims to rile up viewership, is it limited to tech or is it the same for the other fields they cover ?
> every misguided thought or utterance is broadcast to everyone on the network, and immediately pseudo evaluated through likes/views/retweets/upvotes

I really think you're spot on with this one. Plus, not only are they evaluated, they are persisted on the internet forever to remind people of your previous misguided thoughts. And you are what your search results say you are.

Making mistakes is a natural, healthy part of learning. It seems like everyone is trying hard to not make mistakes, instead of learning from those mistakes.
well, that depends on how much of a dent we think the full power of say - even the NSA alone (that's 9-figure/yr of SIGINT) - would put in the problem
The delay in question is in initializing the Linux driver, not in the system firmware scanning for bootable devices before running Linux. The Linux driver may be taking a while for similar reasons as the firmware delay you describe.

The hard drive predelay is also not as obsolete as you may think; I've encountered high-capacity SATA SSDs that take a surprisingly long time to come up after being hotplugged, to the point that Linux doesn't always succeed in bringing up the link on the first try.
Interesting, will add that to docket for when we release dynamic visualizations. One thing to note though: typically when folks switch companies they negotiate on the compensation they would be earning at current job (which includes the stock upside). This is actually why FANG comp has exploded. To attract talent whose stock has gone up, companies have to offer the same or more to poach that talent. Factor in a bull market for the last few years and it results in the massive offers we see today.

Re YoE Graph: Noted. We’re hoping to build dashboard functionality of sorts where you can choose what you want plotted and we'll dynamically generate graph.

No one has ever asked us to be removed. In fact, many companies have reached out to get their levels added. Which company is missing? We realize we need to add many more companies and are slowly adding more as we get data for it.

Is this because such things will never fly there, or because they haven't yet thoroughly propagated there? My concern is it's the latter.
This is one of the reasons I hypothesise that you don’t get to hire good programmers in India. It’s not that there is a lack of talent. I’ve seen many enormously talented developers. However, the very best won’t work for Indian salary levels, since they know they can command better salaries abroad or become entrepreneurs. As a consequence there is an adverse selection effect in play in India. The very best won’t offer their services and the quality of the talent pool declines over time in a viscous cycle, as companies lower salaries even further to compensate for a poorer talent pool. Obviously this is not the only dynamic at play in the enormously complex Indian IT labor market, but it is a factor that I think that might be worth pondering.
From what I have seen, Hacker News tends to defend free speech very much. Are you sure that it isn't simply the case that you remember (rare) instances that oppose your opinion much better than those that agree with you? Everyone seems to think that Hacker News (and other platforms) is on the other side of the political spectrum than they themselves.

To that extent do they dismiss it? In my country, Holocaust denial is illegal, but I think identity politics is still less widespread here.
I find it interesting that people now ask for an opinion about what opinion to have about someone's else opinion.

I think this adds to the article.
> Many states used the offense of sexual assault to replace conduct formerly defined as rape", ergo, Stallman is wrong.

The only jurisdiction which is relevant is that where the accusation was made, and in this case the crime that matches the accusation is statutory rape.

That's the whole point.

Please don't be disingenuous and cherry-pick jurisdictions that are entirely unrelated and irrelevant to the discussion just to fabricate substante for your baseless assertions. If you feel the need to persecute someone, do it based on what he actually said instead of making up excuses.

codepipeline integration was time consuming to set up. You have to get it to create a json file with the image id and uh I'd have to consult my notes.

It's possible it could spread to general society, although I think:

1. Not everyone goes to college and gets indoctrinated like this thinking it is the way the world should be

2. America at least has free speech, which I really hope doesn't change (even for the people I hate and disagree with), and I think that is the opposite of all this safe space stuff.

3. We're so politically polarized, if anything I think the left could go this way, but the right probably won't. I don't think there will ever be a general safe space where everyone agrees.

So IMHO, it just won't fly.
Exactly. Iran has nothing to lose economically by going after Saudi oil. Before the sanctions against Iran, the status quo was OPEC as a vehicle to divide up the dollars. Everybody in the region profited from that arrangement.

Now that the sanctions are in place that former arrangement no longer keeps the peace. Iran wants in on the action and if they can't have it, they'll go after the Saudi's. They've been putting their ability to do so on display with not so subtle actions.

The US has two options here: 1) go to war with Iran. 2) find a way through diplomatic channels to make this go away. It looks like Bolton (aka. option #1) is out and Rouhani is meeting with Trump to discuss option #2.
Yeah, that’s my logic as well. It’s interesting how the same people (left-leaning rational scientist-y types) come to opposite conclusions with respect to GMOs and Climate Change, even though they are very similar situations (small positive consequences and huge unpredictable potentially run-away tail risks).

Well, it can be a good idea to ask others to assess something you don't know enough about, if you trust them. Hacker News is at least more trustworthy than most other online platforms.

> One can also stop using boost. The last C++ project I worked on spent at least 30% of the compile time parsing boost/filesystem headers.

I've seen one experimental IRC bot project that heavily uses template expansion, with the asynchronous model and other components in Boost, as a demonstration of advantages of modern C++. The whole compile requires 2 GiB+ memory, if multiprocess make is used, 4-8 GiB! The scale of the project is nowhere close to Chromium, building the Linux kernel doesn't need much RAM either, it's just a IRC bot! But the hardware requirements for using Boost and C++ template expansion is spectacular!

The actual binary runs well though, and does not need such hardware. And the developer simply saw it as a small price to pay for using these language features.

Why would an actor use Apple as a target vector?
It is much easier to get location tracking thru the mobile service providers. They have the location data in real time and can’t deny that. It’s done thousands of times a day all over the world with and without a warrant. No vendor specific phone and no activation of special functions needed.

If you're a poorly performing employee, why would you even bother going to all the effort of forming a union? Besides that, they'd been there for a very long time, awful weird that they suddenly have performance issues in tight correlation with the unionization effort. The employees were rightfully upset about the company protecting the feelings of Nazis and unionization would allow them to actually have a say in decisions like that.
It is interesting. My own opinion is that only mathematical truth can be "true" and "real", although any expression of that is necessarily short of the absolute truth. The universe and laws of physics may be an instantiation of that, but it may be deterministic or nondeterministic I don't know, or, even more strange, maybe there are equally valid ways for it to be either. It is true though that a scientific theory can only make a model of what it is, rather than the absolute law of physics. But there can be more than one way that works. Even if there is one correct way, scientific experiments cannot prove stuff absolutely like you can with mathematics, anyways. This article seems to suggest even more than what I have, maybe (I am not sure exactly what they are saying).

Vague?!

Let's not dwell on the irony of how you are sort of saying "dangerous" without not actually saying it. Instead let me be clear.

You don't have to research Stallman for long to encounter a whole bunch of people (women) who feel the misgonistic air around him actively drove them away from engaging in fsf style open source.

As someone who experienced very similar things in other (typically white straight male dominated) areas, be it the locker room or upper echelons of power, I used a slightly generalized word "context". Was that the problem? One level of abstraction?

And no. That doesn't define all such contexts and no, that doesn't define all white straight males. We're arguing one single statement here – that why can't we let the "genius" Stallman just be the genius and only judge him for his work. Which is exactly what I was arguing. No one exists in a vacuum. The total sum of output of a person matters.

Not in the US either, but to me this makes the impression of taking one extreme case that is not very representative for the rest. At least on the Internet these opinions seem to be very rare, even in leftist spaces, even though English Internet users tend to be young and American. Also, this kind of opinion peace hits the zeitgeist very well, since being demonstratively opposed to identity politics seems to be fashionably right now.

> Why would an actor use Apple as a target vector?

I can only speculate. But if I wanted someone’s location without making some noise, this increased precision would be nice to have over carrier’s coarse location data. Your GPS position could localize you to a building, but your UWB position could perhaps localize you to a room. And actually if the law enforcement agency had a device capable of detecting yours based on its UWB signal, they could find you very quietly.
It targets a widely deployed architecture rather than one you can't buy at consumer level?

I like using Fargate for one-shot tasks that are easy to split up. I used it a couple of times for summary tasks on large batches of satellite data (100s of GBs). Set up a docker image that takes the month for which to do the analysis as environment variable and then launch 50 or so Fargate tasks in parallel. Fairly easy to set up and can save quite a lot of time. If it's for short running jobs the increased price is not much of an issue. For more complicated, long-running services I feel like I would prefer managed Kubernetes.

I find these type of sharing salaries interesting since you never know if the people having a significant higher salary, want to share it. It might be a skewed way here high salary earners don’t want to put their salary in harms way and therefore don’t submit theirs to the system.
