> All consumer CPUs use the same sockets.

Motherboard’s use a small set of different mounting brackets for CPU coolers. But the physical CPU socket depends on several things including the physical size of the chip and thus the amount of surface area you want in contact with the the cooler.

In case you where unaware actually running a CPU at 100C will drastically lower it’s lifespan. You encounter similar issue if there are significant temperature differences across the chip. Which is why packaging includes a metal plate over the CPU even though it reduces cooling. However, this is a real tradeoff which means the contact area must be reasonably close to design spec.
lol i'd love to see stallman in a government job. it'd be pretty entertaining.
> He is just accused of removing a condom

1) That's rape and 2) he's accused of more than that.

Here's the case: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2011/2849.html

This sounds pretty rapey to me.

> As regards offence 1, AA said in her statement that she had offered the use of her apartment to Mr Assange from 11-14 August 2010 when she was away. She had returned on 13 August 2010 earlier than planned and then met him for the first time. They went out to dinner and returned to her apartment. As they drank tea, he started to fondle her leg which she welcomed. Everything happened fast. Mr Assange ripped off her clothes and at the same time broke her necklace. She tried to put her clothes on again, but Mr Assange had immediately removed them again. She had thought that she did not really want to continue, but it was too late to tell Mr Assange to stop as she had consented so far. Accordingly she let Mr Assange take off all her clothes. Thereafter they laid down on the bed naked with AA on her back and Mr Assange on top. Mr Assange wanted to insert his penis into her vagina, but she did not want him to do that as he was not using a condom. She therefore squeezed her legs together in order to avoid him penetrating her. She tried to reach several times for a condom which Mr Assange had stopped her from doing by holding her arms and bending her legs open and trying to penetrate her with his penis without a condom. Mr Assange must have known it was a condom AA was reaching for and he had held her arms to stop her. After a while Mr Assange had asked AA what she was doing and why she was squeezing her legs together; AA told him she wanted him to put on a condom before he entered her. Mr Assange let go of AA's arms and put on a condom which AA found for him. AA felt a strong sense of unexpressed resistance on Mr Assange' s part against using a condom.
Could you share you for files and/or setup. I used neomutt on Debian but am not pleased with the friction html mails cause me.
It's also hardly a unique idea. The Congressional budget office, the Congressional research service and the government accountability office are existing examples of successful expert agencies run by Congress on a nonpartisan basis. There's no good reason why a tech office shouldn't be there too.

Person with questionable morals [1] making moral judgement claims suggests that the whole thing was manufactured. I wouldn't even exclude a possibility that she received some money to publish the things that she did.

Barack Obama was so closely associated with Google, it isn't even remotely funny. The amount of interaction between Google and his administration is unprecedented; he could've been considered an employee.

Suffice to say, he wasn't going to introduce a way to give the government objective understanding of issues around Google's monopoly.
Yes, she does.

They paid the winners and didn't use the entry I think. Which is a shame, because their engine BEFORE the "winning" one, which was presumably better, was great. Whatever they're using now is subjectively much worse.

Did you just proved my thesis? ;-)

The devil is in details, in other words, it matters how the sandbox/isolation is implemented.

I would expect this: some malicious code requests a service object from the OS. An implementation is returned, but if no permission is granted by the user, the said implementation does nothing. There should be no data in the service object that can be used to glean any information about the internal state.

The only thing that can be detected in this design is that the service object does nothing (and even then, perhaps, it is possible to emulate the service behavior such that the code thinks everything is fine).

What do you think of that?

> But statistically speaking, an average person is smarter than half the people around them.

This is assuming you believe that a global ordering of intelligence is possible. Personally, I disagree with this belief since there are many different dimensions of intelligence. (It also assumes whatever global measure of intelligence is used is normally distributed, but that's a separate consideration.)

I wasn't suggesting you were cruel, although I think it's unfortunate to applying the terms "gormless" or "slack-jawed" to a person one has never met.
Parent would not stop me from doing this either:

copy(source=Src(file2), dest=Dest(file1))

At some point you will have to make a human decision which file to copy, only thing helping you out in that situation is that it clearly states on call-site which arg is src and which arg is dest, instead of remembering left or right argument.
And here is the response we all expected
> Rape implies... rape. He is just accused of removing a condom

Was Stallman right (again!) when he wrote

"I think it is morally absurd to define 'rape' in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17,"

?

Of course he was!

According to Swedish law, that's rape.

Welcome to the rest of the world, where the US laws do not apply.

> Wasn't that due to the (rightful imo) fear of being sent to the US?

Still escaped and blamed "feminists"

Would Epstein be right to escape because US wanted to prosecute him on the account of trafficking young girls?
Hey everyone, creator of techstarts.io here. I created techstarts.io to make it easier to find jobs as a new grad.

The 2004 video looks a times like it's something like dust in the detector: implausibly steady small scale features seemingly unconcerned with atmospheric noise.

I find it strange that the twisting motion at 2:04, is attributed to object acceleration instead of the telescope turning to avoid the pole of an alt-az mount.

His administration benefited a ton from Facebook. You can look up his old campaign manager's tweets about Facebook telling them that they were on their side, and that if anyone else had scraped as much info as they did, they would have been blocked.

s/politicians/executives and you'll see that good decisions can be made by non-technical people, as long as they have been adequately informed by technical folks.
> However, if the top-level politicians, who remain technically inept, are the ones giving the orders, confusion will remain.

The converse would also be true though; a technologically adept leadership that didn't understand society's principles would also lead to confusion, likely worse confusion.

Deeper still, a militarily adept leadership, or any other narrowly adept leadership, that didn't understand society's principles would also lead to confusion.

Politicians have to deal with society as a whole, and as long as no one can master every area of expertise, they need to have someone doing analyses on their behalf.
Eh, it's really about the relevance of temperature fluctuation to civilization. Sure humans existed earlier, but we know less about their relationship with the world around them the further back we look.

If you think they’re going to end up with “technically competent” engineers I have some bad news for you: they’re all gainfully employed. What they’ll end up with is the same thing committees always up with: bureaucrats who wouldn’t be able to hack in the private sector.
I don't believe the wording means arithmetic average.

I imagine the physical protections were not trivial to overcome either. In Germany you don't have to assist police as long as you don't actively obstruct them. If they come with a warrant you can't shut the door in their face, but you are not forced to open a closed door either. Normally not a big deal, after a few knocks the police breaks open the door. The government selling off bunkers with doors designed to withstand nuclear explosions throws a bit of a wrench in that concept.

If you really want to quit make yourself a favour and cut on everything that leads you to it. Your fight starts in your thoughts and you have to be concious when your thoughts drift towards these areas of your memory. You was building this up for 15 years so scars are deep and it will take probably at least 15 years to make them heal.

Once you are on your daily mind fight, you can help yourself and clean your browser history everywhere, delete all internet accounts, remove everything that might light a spark leading you to go downwards.

At home you can block everything that you want to avoid, simply add rules to router.

But really your mind is where most of battle will happen.

I don't disagree with any of that, I'm simply point out that your remarks about this woman's notoriety and career choice are ironic.

You're attacking her in much the say way the media is attacking Stallman when they attribute his appearance and proclivity for eating shit off his foot as clear evidence he's a pedophile.
Most of those reports involved the autopilot or were while flaps were extended, which disables MCAS. The ones that did not were complaining about not being informed about MCAS and not about it actuating. There were even incidents reported as being MCAS that did not involve stabilizer trim or a 737 MAX.
According to the Sr. Radar/EW officer on the USS Princeton which had all the radar tracks (Kevin Day I believe) - all of the data were wiped.

"Despite this, Day intended to write an after-action message about the encounter. When Day went to review the records from the previous day, all the data was gone. He never wrote the after-action message." [1]

I understand what you mean, sometimes I also get frustrated at the companies advertising their codeless service. I think that you have to realize that most likely you are not the target audience for these products. They are simplification tools that tend to break at some point of complexity where you are forced into the nitty gritty anyway. I think this might even be a reaction to the "Everyone should learn to code" type initiatives.
They do acknowledge potential issues: "these observations are either fabricated or seriously in error, or that these craft exhibit technology far more advanced than any known craft on Earth."

And their selection process: "These encounters were selected from a subset of cases for which there were multiple professional witnesses observing the craft in multiple modalities (including sight, radar, infrared imaging, etc.)."

Some of the cases have multiple witnesses and video of the objects. You can look at it yourself.
One of the interesting side effects of Microsoft buying GitHub is whatever we leave behind might just sit there for centuries or even millennia for historians and the curious and AI to explore.

If you read more closely, the book Fat City: How Washington Wastes Your Taxes was the one which stated that it was an "unnecessary agency" and the Regan admin liked the book. Newt Gingrich was the one who spearheaded the closure of the OTA.
> if you’re spending time at a job that is leading to “anxiety”, “stress”, and “burn out”, you’re optimizing for PTO when you should be optimizing for finding a job that doesn’t stress you out while you’re working.

I never suggested my job was any of those things or that I practice “optimizing for
PTO”. Far from it.
Right, that it's hard is actually my point – it builds character. Even if you might be fortunate enough to not have to deal with the practicalities it's still difficult to acclimatize in a new culture, but it's an incredible learning experience. Even if you end up hating it, you'll have learned so much, and that easily offsets the bad parts I think.

For me, I lived in London for a few years. I hated most all about it. If I never live in London again it'll be too soon. But the experience – warts and all – taught me so much, that I don't think I'd ever learn "at home" so to speak. I grew as a person for it, and for that I'm ever grateful.
Having spent a few years in skeptic groups helping debunk aliens and yeti footage, I must say that these are refreshing documents: authenticated videos, sensors are specified, we even have original audio of one!

I would like to just ask something I may have missed: how did they shield themselves from the (very) classic error of mistaking something small and close, like a bird or a bug, for something big and distant? There is an abundance of footage of blurry insects close to a camera being mistaken for very fast alien ships.

I mean, this is supposedly locked by radars, why is the distance measured by those not given?

And I must say, reading the analysis of the Nimitz incident by this paper, it is a glorious case of over-analysis. They base themselves on an oral recollection of approximate values, add to it wild assumption ("Since we want a minimal power estimate, we took the acceleration as 5370 g and assumed that the UAV had a mass of 1000 kg.") and to unnecessarily complicated calculations to guess random things about this supposed vessel.

Also worthy of note is that this is part of a program [1] paid by a senator in the direction of a close friend, who is a UFO enthusiast, and had to justify spending 22 million USD with some things.

In such a case, I don't think they have an excuse for not having actual radar data as well. I suspect such data would dismiss cases as something easily identifiable like a meteorite.

What we need is to monitor people's brains in some way while they are watching entertainment to see specifically what gets evoked and when. I would do it if I had the means. Then we can create original stories again, and run them through our models of human amusement and catharsis to know who will enjoy what and why and when.
Tech based businesses didn't have half as much money/sway back then as they did now, so from a budgetary perspective i think it made sense at the time. Short sighted, but makes sense.

My concern, is the massive amounts of failed promises Warren has made in efforts to shut down things like Robocalls, and for her to be auditioning for her next job before she's completed her current one bothers me.
I've once taken a 5-hour pre-interview test that actually took me from "eh why not" about the company to them being my first choice. My other offers were from companies that did not have at-home tests. I thought the particular at-home test was relevant to the job I would be doing, it (and the job) were in a language that I found during the test much more fun than the language I was working in at the time, and I found it in general a very appetizing job teaser.

Although yeah, I spend my evenings with my partner, and I was working extra hours at my real job, and it was a test you had only a few days to complete, so I had to pull an all-nighter for it.

I disagree. It's a lot of text, but cognitively it's trivial to understand.

A more terse language construct that moves logic around requires more thought to comprehend even if it takes up less space on the screen.

Computers are fast. Screens are big. Our brains are overwhelmed and limited.
if we did not do it, could the earth be having a much cold climate then? I really want to have a balanced view on this climate topic, but either side is too extreme about supporting their one-sided points, just like the news medias.

Would those bounds include "not-bringing-up-climate-change-stuff-to-make-a-bizarre-point-about-some-16-year-old-activist on-a-post-that-has-absolutely-nothing-to-do-with-climate change-or-activism"? Because that seems like a pretty obvious bound to a normal person. Literally no one brought up climate change on this, you just wanted to make some bizarre point about...well I'm actually not sure, it kind of came out of left field.

> If you are willing to honestly look at the evidence and my conclusion I am equally willing to participate in a Q&A session to try to evaluate it.

It's not like the information is hard to find; why do these "climate skeptics" (or whatever you want to brand yourself) want to avoid doing any actual work? Back for like the two months that I called myself a "climate skeptic" around 9 years ago I did the same thing, and eventually I realized that I have access to Google like everyone else, and I have access to the findings by NASA like everyone else, and I can fairly easily find the papers like everyone else, that I really don't need some random schmuck on Hacker News to do my work for me, and after about an hour of research, looking through NASA's information, I changed my mind.

I suspect that instead you just want to be able to say afterward something like "I put myself into the marketplace of ideas and the global-warming activists wouldn't even accept me!!!!", presumably to put into a chain email or something like that.

You're an adult, you clearly know enough about the internet to do searches yourself, you don't need me (or anyone) to do it for you.

Referring to the documentation is what you should be doing the first time you use a function, right? Most IDEs now have handy tool-tips to display parameter details.

I use named parameters when available, but it's no big deal to pass parameters to a function. This is why we write tests.
