Daryl Davis is a great guy, but you need to reflect on the fact that many KKK people took the initiative and reached out to him. It's not the job of people who are being victimized to make their attackers into better people, and framing it as an issue of effort v laziness is putting the onus firmly on the victims.

It's great when this happens, but it's also extremely labor-intensive and it requires the person who has been in the grip of a hateful ideology to be looking for a way out of it in the first place. If they're not, then things can go terribly wrong. Back in 2017, three bystanders tried to intercede with a guy who was screaming racial abuse at two women on public transport, and he stabbed all three intercessors, killing two of them.

The thing with games compared to regular services is that they start with the bar of rigor a bit higher than normal in all respects.

GCs really let you trivially not care about a LOT of things... Until you need to care. Things like where and when you allocate, the memory complexity of a function call, etc. With games you need to care about all that stuff so much sooner.

Once you're taking the time to count/track allocations anyway you might as well just do it manually. It just codifies something your thinking about anyway.
I think the point is that even if your actual position is not one of the two major ones, the pragmatic effect is that you end up supporting the one you claim to be against.
AOL's garden (and Prodigy's before that) was always packed with ads from the first version, it was one of the reasons I hated AOL and was always just trying to get a simple TCP connection so I could just browse the web instead.

I don't think AOL shipped a normal browser until later than '93, they hated the web for obvious reasons and were actively fighting against it in those early years. They had something resembling a browser you could just type AOL keywords into, but that was only for their content. I remember I had to make a phone call to get a config change for a normal TCP connection to browse the web in some versions, that's how locked down AOL was.
The 777 program is a case study in program management and engineering excellence, and that aircraft is still an amazing piece of quality design and engineering.

It is so sad that the Boeing of those days is dead and buried. Everything since the MD takeover ("merger") has been a race to the bottom.
We will fix that in the near future. Known problem with our design choice. Wanted to ensure we put it out there first, before solving it. FWIW, note that the probability of a collision with 64 bit hash is pretty low. Still, needs to be solved.

I don't know if I'd like to work in a place like that. Wouldn't you get lazy after a couple of years? Doesn't this create incentives to deliberately work more slowly?

After a couple of more years like that wouldn't you get used to not doing much and then get slaughtered when inevitable change came around?

This. I started Safari today for the first time in weeks, and I was greeted by a popup saying they’ve broken most of the extensions I have, including Bitwarden (!).

Well then, even less of an incentive to ever use Safari again. Already I started it only when I actually wanted to be tracked (with referral-generating sites like quidco and so on), now I’ll just never use it. And to think I even went to the trouble of building an extension for it, so many years ago....

Reposting from another thread:

From the video: in a computer with 200GB of RAM, and 32 cores, they factorized the key in 52 seconds.

The first key (in decimal) is 83473593554391843334619428139045661537976651941410655062632649869770538548577

This page https://www.alpertron.com.ar/ECM.HTM solved it in 3 minutes, 37 seconds. I guess they are not using a so powerful machine. (It says "This is the WebAssembly version.")

I'm too lazy to copy the second number, but I guess it will be as easy as factorize as the first.

Hearing the shopping mall owner in this list of people wanting to discredit Amazon is hilarious.

Just last week we were at the mall. Not only did they not have my size, but the people working there couldn’t be bothered to help or even check if there’s any more inventory. This happened at two three different stores (shopping for a jacket) before we left. When I did ask for help, the 20 somethings working there practically looked offended.

Why the hell would I get in my car next time, and spend 20 minutes of my time to drive to the mall when

1. You don’t have what I need
2. The people who work there can’t be bothered to help, even those that really aren’t that busy

I should pay for gas and the 40 minute round trip, not to mention the time wasted in these stores?

Yeah, it’s Amazons fault these business owners refuse to innovate or even just not provide a horrible customer experience.

You’re not entitled to my business.

There is friction here because it’s at the meeting of two languages instead of implementation-interface, or implementation-service. People either try to hide the underlying SQL entirely on the one pole, or attempt to embed a SQL-like DSL within the primary language. I think that modern programming language ought to offer first class support for embedding other languages or DSLs - an idea behind Language Oriented Programming.

SQL offers the domain appropriate syntax, while the “host” language allows access to in-scope variables, functions, etc.

Of course there would be some more work in allowing a “mix” of two syntaxes. Another option is a query language as a subset of the language, sort of like C# and Linq.
Journalism is a big field. Just because journalists did a good job in three situations you know of, doesn't mean the average quality is plummetting. As counterexamples, they've done a terrible job investigating anything related to Trump, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

What is the point of your comment?
Setting economic policy based on fighting 1970's inflation battles instead of accepting the evidence that the US economy is finally near or at full employment by sustaining a low interest rate environment contrary to evidence and experience. Full employment is good for workers and less-good for asset owners.

Governments can borrow money to build infrastructure that make people's lives better, I don't know how you can dispute that this policy option exists or say that it "doesn't work that way" when you know, governments do that stuff all the time. When in doubt, and you have low interest rates, build a sewage treatment plant!
I would argue that the mba program is basically irrelevant. The problem is that the incentive structures for management in these companies is overwhelmingly to produce short term gains in order to secure promotion and bonuses, since the metric of success is to not stay in your role very long.

The ideal situation for a manager is to be promoted through/across the company every few years. Long enough to deliver some large project (that was certainly already in the pipeline) but short enough not to be responsible for the long term impact of that project.

You don't fix that by giving the management lectures on morality, you fix it by reducing their ability to hide the issues that happens in their organisation so that when lines are crossed the manager can't be confident they can sweep it under the rug.
You can't choose between tech and people. You have to trust both.
is it really the tax payers? and is it really being taken by force? the government also gets funding by taking on debt, or can print more currency; not everything comes from a tax payer.

One way to make Ristretto act as a server would be to bake it into Group cache. Which is the equivalent of memcached in Go.
However London's underground system also has unions, so if the suggestion is that it's more efficient than New York, the implication is that it's unlikely to be the presence of a union causing the issues.

> I love this opinion from games programmers because they never qualify it and talk about what their latency budgets are and what they do in lieu of a garbage collector.

Bro, game devs talk about this non-stop. There are probably 1000 GDC talks about memory management.

Game devs don't spell the fine details because they are generally talking to other game devs and there is assumed knowledge. Everyone in games knows about memory management and frame budgets.

> If you have a garbage collector that runs in 200us, you could run a GC on every single frame and use less than 3% of your frame budget on the GC pause.

And if pigs could fly the world would be different. ;)

Go has a super fast GC now. It had a trash GC (teehee) for many many years. But Go is not used for game dev client front-ends. If C# / Unity had an ultra fast GC that used only 3% of a frame budget that would be interesting. But Unity has a trash GC that can easily take 10+ milliseconds. (Their incremental GC is still experimental.) It's a problem that literally every Unity dev has to spend considerable resources to manage.

For 50+ years GC has been a poor choice for game dev. Maybe at some point that will change! The status quo is that GC sucks for games. The onus is on GC to prove that it doesn't suck.
We are happy to take any students’ university fees and provide them with a market competitive educational curriculum.

The reality of China’s population being 56,3 times that of Australia coupled with a non-democratic, expansionist government is great cause for concern.

The amount of influence China already exerts in Australia is alarming, as is evidenced by the property bubble they helped fuel by laundering money outside of the eyes of the communist party. Or the propaganda machine that prints free English language newspapers for distribution in major Australian capitals.

Business and government and intrinsically linked in China and Australia is well advised not to become China’s subservient lap dog.

The mundane, banal aspects of life are drenched with profundity.

The problem is that it is usually very well hidden right in front of us. It takes a lot of life experience and careful thought to get a sense of it (exposure to ideas of others certainly helps as well). It isn't easily communicated or understood. We have no rigorous tools for working with it.
We are like the blind men and the elephant.

And then of course, doing something meaningful with it is another question entirely. It happens, certainly, but it is non-trivial. Art, in all its forms, is perhaps the easiest example (another is writing HN comments :p).

Some people take these difficulties as reasons to largely dismiss it or spend no time thinking about it. I think that is a mistake. The elephant still exists even if we can only perceive a piece of it.

However, it does seem that because of all this, much of the time there are better things to do (unless you are a philosopher or some other specialist!). Fortunately, we can slowly explore this profoundness as a background task, with the occasional punctuated intensive investigation as life demands, while going about our daily lives.
The reason why is because they were not targeting creating a low end bog standard plastic cheap car that the kona represents for the model 3. The cabin differences would have to be too big to deliver it as a trim.

Technologically I would see the model 1 being mostly the same platform as the model 3 with a cabin expressly designed for cheapness everywhere. So standard handles, standard ac, a 2 din stereo, everything plastic, only mirrors and cloth and no power seats. Kind of like the iphone xr with aluminum and an LCD. Make a platform variation is not that difficult.

That would make it bridge the gap and probably beat the kona price wise
That logic, taken to its rational conclusion, means you shouldn’t be able to run any executable on your computer unless it’s been pre-approved by your OS manufacturer.

> Would you happen to know why AdGuard's IP addresses point to Russia

The link shows the owner of the AS, not the location of the servers.

The IP address itself belongs to an AS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet)) that belongs to a Russian hosting company, and we have a long term rent contract on this subnet (with a purchase option), and we'll eventually acquire it.

To check where it really leads you should see the output of `traceroute 176.103.130.130`. However, this is also not the best option because AG DNS uses anycast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast), and the route depends on your location.
I have some 5 or 6 browsers on my Mac, mostly for development purposes but for everyday web browsing, unless there's some special requirements, I still use Safari. It's the most convenient and efficient of Mac browsers, and the rest just feel a bit crufty and un-Mac-like.
Agree but it's more than that. I would point out to any young people reading and watching things like this to keep this in mind. If Bill Gates wasn't a very visible Billionaire and one in particular who had a history in the computer business you wouldn't really care much what he thought. Let alone listen to him. The 'very visible' definitely matters, sure. But also the fact that he is 'rich' like any and all utterances by rich or successful people (even in things they aren't skilled at) what they say appears way more valuable than it actually is and when compared to someone who has not had luck play into their success.

There is no way to 'grab the brass ring' by reading or watching this type of documentary. Understand it for what it is. It's entertainment pure and simple.

To your point 'shitty behavior' absolutely true. The amount of anxiety and aggravation that OS and some of those business practices caused is rarely talked about. In this case making money was tied to having a bad product in part not a good product that people loved. The entire eco system was dependent on convincing users they didn't know enough and needed help to get it to actually continue functioning.
strongly __________ by ?
Can you cite your sources? I don't think you're comparing like to like.

These costs also need to be normalized for ridership figures (NYC has higher ridership). And don't forget that most of the figures you're going to see for NYC are for the entire MTA, which runs a lot more than just the subway.

And it's important to distinguish the cost per ride vs the subsidy per ride. Fare revenue shouldn't count "against" a transit system.

For some figures, the total budget of the London Underground is £10.3B (inclusive of fares): http://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-budget-2019-20.pdf [pg 10]

The total budget of the MTA (inclusive of fares) is $16.3B: http://web.mta.info/news/pdf/MTA-2019-Prelim-Budget-July-Fin... [pg 14]

Normalize those figures to dollar amounts and account for ridership, and it appears that the MTA is cheaper per ride than TfL.
If you already know, why do you need me to explain? Are you just trying to be smart? (as if you actually know)
It's been increasingly scaled down. But not quite to the point of being done residentially.

Places like hospitals have installed multi-megawatt turbines because it saves them the cost of standby backup generators, instead they can use the grid as backup for their internal generation.

Also, heating loads residentially may be bigger than electric loads, but grid-intertie system can resolve that.
> And also by not having a company behind it, a partnership with uBlock Origin for "acceptable ads" isn't possible.

I'm really glad you brought that up, because it's an interesting dynamic. Industries generally know how to deal with companies and senators. People like Gorhill though are hard to control using conventional strategies, because they're not getting any money out of it, they don't have supply chains or a duty to investors that you can exploit. They're just people doing stuff.

This can obviously be both a positive and a negative. But when people talk about competitive and regulatory forces, it's important to remember that some forces also come from outside of the system.

Adblocking is legal, but another good (less legal) example is Sci-hub. Sci-hub is just as large of an actor in the debate about academic publishing as any other official institution, but it refuses to be subject to the same rules as those institutions. If you're a traditional publisher, you can't reason with Sci-hub. None of the conventional strategies you would use on a competitor work for Sci-hub.

In general, if you're a business, you would prefer to only deal with other businesses and (to an extent) the government. Purely ideological actors, or people who don't pay attention to the conventional rules of engagement are much more annoying. You have to find some kind of leverage over those people so they can't cause as much trouble.

I don't doubt that part of the reason Google is locking down extensions is for security. I'm also sure that there are executives at Google who look at locked-down extension APIs and the inability to side-load extensions as a way of locking out people like Gorhill, and making sure the debate over acceptable ads is primarily restricted to industry players. For them, the fact that these policies improve some aspects of security is just a bonus.
Very true. Everybody used to grouse at those 7 AM PE classes when I was in high school, which have since been cut from what I've heard, but they really did get kids in the habit of assuming that regular exercise is just an expected thing that people do.
There is so much wrong with this post, I don't know where to begin. It scares me how quickly the US population is turning on entrepreneurs. Do you really believe starting a company is the easier route? Is it better to just complain and demand tax payers equalize all opportunities for non risk takers like yourself?

Interesting, I understand how a bond would be considered selling debt but a straight up bank loan is also considered selling debt? In the former there is something being sold by the company but in the latter its actually being something bought by the company. Are they both considered selling debt because of how the accounting is done? Or am I being too literal with interpretation? Thanks.
Well, if you’re a US based investor then it might not be a bad idea to pick up some of those -0.5% yield bonds when you consider the effect of currency hedging.

Conversely, for EUR based fund managers you’ll likely be better of sticking to negative yielding EUR denominated bonds vs treasuries.
