Thanks for posting this! For more details, see our GitHub (there's a link to the slides in the README): https://github.com/fishinabarrel/linux-kernel-module-rust

Most of the exciting examples are in the tests/ directory, I'd recommend looking there for a sample of what bindings we have so far. We're mostly currently focused on writing safe bindings, but writing a working filesystem isn't very far away.

There's interest in getting this incorporated from the upstream kernel developers - in particular Linus has said he's open to the idea for non-required drivers for now (i.e., a standard kernel build should still not require rustc), but we can put Rust drivers in the staging directory in the upstream kernel and get some experience with how it works.

Happy to answer questions :)
is it a straw man though? i'm not proposing anything, I was just providing some links and maybe hinting at the fact that if we want to reduce plastic in the oceans we should focus on the biggest sources of plastics.

if everyone stops using plastic straws tomorrow it will not matter and will not make an impact on how much plastic keeps accumulating.

here are a few more ideas for helping the planet: have fewer kids - this weird trick works, learn to love GMOs - this is the future, there is no way we can sustain the population growth we are experience with everyone eating organic, drive your car into the ground or until it's too expensive to repair it.
Sure if they dump it to the sea!

Why worry without evidence?

Even if the only the thing the straw ban did was inspired a whataboutism movement to pretend to care about fishing nets, it would still be a net win in terms of motivating improvement.

Everything is political.
The main problem seems to be that startup employees are being asked to pay taxes simply to exercise their options, even though the stock they now own is extremely illiquid. This problem exists here in America too. The best solution in both countries would be for employees to be taxed only for cash income/dividends, or when there is a liquidity event such as IPO or acquisition.

I highly recommend doing away with the lower capital-gains tax entirely and treating investment income the same as labor income. However, it seems ridiculous to ask someone to pay taxes when they literally don't have the money to do so.
The uncomfortable truth is that action costs political capital. Something highly public, like plastic straws, by its nature is far more expensive than the actual environmental benefit that is accrued.
Worth reading the "Limitations" section of the original paper:

> The main limitation of the present study, as with most open-label studies, is that all subjects received treatment (single-arm) without inclusion of an untreated/placebo group. However, the improvements in multiple cognitive measures observed with TEMT would have been highly unlikely to occur spontaneously in AD subjects, even with repeated testing (as discussed above). Moreover, it is difficult to explain away the CSF/plasma changes and DTI/FA localized enhancements, which are consistent with TEMT’s primary mechanisms of action to disaggregate toxic brain oligomers and enhance mitochondrial function.

Isn’t this often true in the US as well? You pay to exercise your stock options, and then pay taxes on them (since they’re income). But if your company is still private, they’re basically illiquid.

> chances are, every one of those straws being used in an American city would end up in a well run landfill

My front yard disagrees. It's adjacent to a somewhat busy road, and straws are part of the debris I have to routinely clean up (along with various wrappers and cigarette butts).
We may have done those things, but not remotely. Let's see how this one goes.

RPis don't necessarily have RDRAND, they especially suffer from increasingly fast boot where waiting for the entropy pool is an actual concern.

Of course, not all applications need that kind of cryptographic entropy but during early boot it's pretty much the best randomness you can get (seeding from datetime isn't available on the RPi, so until you can bring up the network and contact the NTP server, you're stuck with whatever getrandom() returns)

It's true that he spent his life doing this, but that doesn't mean he's god knows everything person. Truth is, during history, most leaders lost track of certain aspects, we can cite Microsoft, Apple and other bigger companies. Just because he built FB doesn't mean he understands TikTok.
Care to share your definitions?

Communism and authoritarianism definitely aren't synonyms by definition. Not all authoritarian countries are communist. And yes, in practice, communist countries often are authoritarian.
With this I agree, the problem comes when we forget we give meaning and we become too serious about something we made up.

Much more significant IMO is the rumours of heavy discounting for Intel server chips and the wide variety of laptops of AMD laptops exhibited at Computex 2019. AMD doesn't have significant market share in servers or laptops yet, but those are signs that it may be coming...
Frequency stalled because we stopped being able to efficiently cool the CPUs at that point. Heat output is proportional to power consumption, which is proportional roughly to the cube of frequency (power is normally proportional to the square of frequency, but to drive higher frequencies, you often need to drive up the voltage--which also has an effect on power).

Same thing exists in Greece and many other countries. In the past specific parts of science would set up their own “welfare” systems. So you’ve got countries with retirement or health funds dedicated to specific professional groups like MDs, engineers or academics.
Doesn't exercising an option in the US count against Alternative Minimum Tax but not regular taxes? And doesn't AMT have an exemption amount so you don't pay taxes if you're below it?

edit: Also, does the fair market value in Germany "undervalue" startups the same way the 409A valuation does in the US? If not then that would increase the taxable amount by a lot and also lowers the upside since it increases the strike price.

I config vim to have a slightly different semantic for arrow keys vs hjkl. I leave hjkl as-is, and then make arrow keys move across visible screen lines. So if there is a long line that wraps, the down arrow moves down one visible line (so technically still within the long line), and j moves to the next actual line in the file. Handy.

I get the sentiment behind objecting to straw bans and the like. But I think we're at a point where reducing plastic waste is becoming critical. It's everywhere. Short lived single use plastics like straws, cutlery, packing and shipping materials have to go the way of their dinosaur derived chemical components.
i think banning ocean fishing would be a disaster actually. what we need is responsible fishing with proper management of the fishing nets (i.e. huge penalties for mismanaging/dumping/abandoning the fishing nets)

also the elephant in the room is that an individual in the US has little to no control over huge sources of pollution apart from feel good activism (look at this! i'm using a paper straw! I saved 2 turtles this morning y'all! what? can i drink though the paper straw? naaaw dog - it's mushy after 5 seconds but the turtles)

Reagan was president. This was treated with far more incredulity at the time than the election of Trump outside the US. It was widely believed at the time across the political spectrum that Regan was a teleprompt reading puppet. Was he? Different question. Tory voters and labour-ites in the uk basically believed it with complete astonishment.

The galactic president is just a decoy, the real man is elsewhere worried about his cats. This is part of the story and characterisation that needs to be put into that context. Zaphod had no policies at all. Hardly a populist bogeyman.
Yes, diecast components can be very precise. At the same time diescast process is cheap enough that 3D printing has no edge there.

Where 3d printing really helps is replacing wax or investment casting necessary for high melting point materials. You end up having quicker turnaround, better part quality and sometimes even lower price.
With Coops, the company is owned collectively by the workers, as opposed to overwhelmingly by the founders and investors, which results in automatic profit-sharing and distributing success relatively equally amongst the people who created it. This is contrary to a traditional startup where the top few people get obscene amounts of money, and the lower level employees get little, if any, apart from their salary.
> WhatsApp parses it with a native library called libpl_droidsonroids_gif.so to generate the preview of the GIF file.

Another victim of Android not exposing the image codecs to the NDK.

I guess, like many, they decided to use libpl_droidsonroids_gif instead of having to deal with JNI to call BitmapFactory or ImageDecoder.

Because of these kind of exploits codecs have their own hardness processes, https://source.android.com/devices/media/framework-hardening, but naturally it doesn't help when applications bring their own native alternatives along instead.

- platform uncertainty, i.e. will upgrading mean buying a new motherboard?
No it is not. Facebook is a way to quickly call all my classmates when Ed died - I never was friends with Ed but I knew him and it was important to find out. Facebook ensures that the grandparents see pictures of the grand kids sure I could mail them, but hitting "upload to facebook" on my camera (read phone) is vastly more convenient and cheaper so it gets done.

Did you not the convenient word there? That is the key, nothing else is as convenient as facebook, so much as I don't like facebook I remain.

"Technology," Adams once said, "is a word that describes something that doesn’t work yet."

The EU has traditional MNCs like Bouygues, Orange, or SFR who identify these startups as threats and neutralize them through legislation or acquisition.
That's not really true for Norway.

I don't think you are getting it right. The author has some behaviors and has observed that some of them may have come simply from observing other autistic people. There is a core question of where did the behavior originate, and that question causes a lot of anxiety for the author in a world that is hostile to "the other".

This is expanded by a desire to free themselves of the world's judgment and their internalized constraints. Enacting these behaviors, borrowed from others or created within, feels like connecting with their natural body when before they felt separated.

London court allows mass claim against Google over iPhone data
Speaking from knowledge of the rhetoric in the Norwegian banking sector of the last few years (which is very automated), "robots" in the banking sector has referred to three things: Chatbots that don't work, macros that click around in a user interface to perform repetitive backoffice or customer support tasks, or plain old software that automates business processes in a scalable manner.

Not surprisingly, only the last of these stand the test of time, and most organizations that jump on the bandwagon will realize that they need to hire more software engineers and automate their business processes at the root.

For some, this is a long and painful realization. I spent six months trying to convince the appointed leader of a "robotization" initiative that what they were doing is actually software engineering, and that involving developers at an early point would be a better use of their money. They eventually made the mistake themselves, and got their own developers 18 months later.

Maybe 20 years from now, we will have technologists on the board and in executive positions at these companies, and these decisions can be made in an adult manner.
I'd like to add that before the term "Millennial" was invented, Gen-Y were sometimes referred to as echo-boomers.

I think it's more poetic to view it as the question for the meaning of everything has a wrong answer to it.

It doesn't make sense, the universe isn't specifically obligated to make any sense, so why should the ultimate question and answer?
The premise of the article seems to say that if you get your pay in stock options then you should pay less tax than if you get it in salary.

I don't see why there needs to be any difference.

In my experience of UK startups, the decisive difference with the US counterparts was simply the amount of money that could be raised on the back of essentially the same company - as much as 10 times in the US.

Having 10x the money in the bank is a massive advantage.

The US markets are also better at recycling assets if companies fail.

None of this requires employees to dodge tax.
5.56 isn't SAAMI-standardized in the first place, so they legally shouldn't say anything other than their wording there. Which you also see on many .223 rifles as you noted.

But that's a legal perspective.

From an engineering perspective, you can certainly shoot it.

With risks somewhere between "It will behave exactly like .223" and "It will explosively disassemble your gun."

But we're not talking about rocket science here.

Machining dimensions / tolerances + chamber / barrel design + round pressure = risk

All of which are variable enough in practice to make this a grey area.
