I'm pretty positive that people made firm predictions and bets that the LHC will see super partners (because otherwise the "naturalness" argument would go away). Whether it would be the MSSM or something else was up for debate, but people thought it would be more likely than not that they would see them if the Higgs was found in the predicted energy range. In any case physics departments at top universities all over the world are stacked with phenomenologists that made their careers on working out these predictions.

Anderson made an argument against the SSC https://www.the-scientist.com/opinion-old/the-case-against-t..., which I pretty much agree with. Science funding is finite and physics talent in a country as well. Many really good students are funnelled into dead end careers in high-energy physics (whether theoretical or experimental). It's just a huge waste of human potential, especially given the fact of how ruthlessly they are exploited. I know people in the field, a hiring decision between three people was recently described to me as a choice between a 'social case' and two competent workers, one of which happens to be a friend of mine.

Funnily enough lot's of institutions doing fundamental research in high energy physics either also do military research or receive military funding. Most of Witten's work for example has been funded by the Department of Energy. The whole reason CERN was build in a neutral country was because people worried that a post nuclear arms race would break out otherwise. In France one of the major institutes contributing to particle physics (Saclay Nuclear Research Centre) also developed their nuclear arsenal and is located next to a major arms manufacturers research center (Thalys).
Copyright concerns copies. When Comcast injects their code in a page before delivering it to me, they have distributed a copy which is subject to copyright laws.

When I download a page and modify it for myself without distributing the modified copy, it is not subject to copyright laws.
Yeah, I agree that Carlin is primarily a fan of the military side of things, and that's really what he focuses on. I do enjoy a wider view than one merely focusing on the military side, and for that I've found a pretty good podcast called Literature and History, hosted by Doug Metzger. It's no Hardcore History, but, as you point out, nothing is.

By the way, my favorite Hardcore History series was Wrath of the Khans, and I can heartily recommend it to anyone who hasn't tasted Hardcore History before. Last time I looked it was still free on his site, so get it while you still can.
You can opt out by not using it, right? They'd be supposed to drop EU users, under some interpretation of the law. But even if they didn't, then as an EU user, you'd still be able to protect your own rights by ceasing use of their services.

Managing servers using parallel ssh is a way old school (and powerful) technique I don't recommend doing unless using it as a transport mechanism for a config management tool.

A company I worked at developed a custom SSH tool that would tie into your CMDB, kind of like a home rolled ansible you could use to blast commands to whole a PoP or even the whole network at the same time.
The thing was insanely powerful, but using it was like wielding a machete through a delicate garden.

Ansible is really great in this regard since you have the ubiquity of SSH but sane management, not some difficult to maintain shell script.

At scale parallel ssh performs poorly in comparison to message queues. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, SaltStack defaults to using ZMQ for communication which has much lower overhead than SSH (with trade offs as well).
>Privacy? Their users are companies building software

Not sure I follow your logic there.

First of all, he's not right. As stated by the compliance officer in that thread, his plan would have violated the GDPR. It also would have violated existing contracts with enterprise customers.

Secondly, it's a scummy thing to do. just because you have the right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do.
One of the hardest things is getting university students to spend any time in downtown Detroit. But if they do, there's a good chance they'll consider building their careers there.

The University of Michigan is taking their best and brightest, most entrepreneurial kids and placing them downtown in the D. My message to my friends in Silicon Valley is that Detroit's not playing at this entrepreneur thing.
I think so. But can you (validly) linearize gravity in the circumstances that were thought to exist at the time we're talking about?

Well, to be fair after California passed this a few other states indicated they were looking into similar legislation. I think that is what prompted the NCAA to declare this as quickly as they did. I do think even if was just California they would have caved, but would have dragged their feet for much longer.
> But for markup... we may be better off to just use markdown inside CDATA blocks

No we arent't. markdown itself is literally specified as a shortform of HTML [1], and can be translated into canonical angle-bracket syntax using SGML short references (though not completely eg. markdown reference links require unlimited forward lookup). This gives a canonical representation of markdown in SGML/XML even if you don't use SGML.

I don't get it. Why is RdRand failing?
You know, I have some theories about that, based on my experience with SC:BW, WC3, HoN, DotA, CS and a couple of other online commmunities.

In short, I think it comes down to the fact that people do not have to maintain a social persona when going through the match making queue. I think people are default assholes and don't behave nicely unless they know they'll see you again/you become familiar.

A lot of the communities I've seen start off super friendly and fun when they're small (because you're playing the same small pool of people) and then reach a tipping point when toxicity takes over because you rarely bump into the same people over and over again.

I think that could be solved by modifying match making to preferntially rematch you with the same people over and over again, in effect simulating a smaller world.

Separately, toxicity is contagious, which also agrees with my observation that larger communities are more toxic. I wonder if Valve has done any analysis on how behaviour is affected after interacting with tilted/toxic players.
If you asked me in 2009, a GitHub would be enough for a developer's portfolio in the context of an open-source developer. Given the mainstream status of Twitter in referencing tweets as "evidence" in online articles or participation in conferences/meetups, it may be wiser to be on Twitter to market yourself as a dev, rather than the rest of the alternatives.

Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Snapchat serve no utility for a single developer but instead benefits better for an organisation.

You already trust Gitlab with everything you store in Gitlab, like source code, which is presumably much more sensitive than the number of times you loaded a page or clicked on a button or whatever.

Is it because the data would be stored with a third party, and you don't trust that third party? If Gitlab trusts the third party, and they're giving you the option to NOT trust the third party and only trust Gitlab, what's the issue?
> If those supervisor cores want, they can literally just tamper with the entropy in your pool directly

Go ahead and try to tamper with that pool. On all existing and future kernel versions. After undoing kASLR.

Not arguing, that it is impossible, but malware writers usually choose easier paths. When Samsung backdoored their phones [1], they didn't make a pure TrustZone rootkit. Instead they created a companion app, acting as helper for performing high-level tasks within OS bounds. Intel ME rootkit has it's own network stack and can use Intel network card, because it is both easier and safer than trying to interact with constantly updating OS, written by different people.

A rootkit, trying to perform any kind of complex interactions with host OS, may be exploited and taken advantage of, — for example see bugs [2] in AMD's PSP, that allowed host OS to take over by giving it specially crafted certificate.

Until you get bugs like "3D games lag when in fast moving car due to constant cell handovers" and "4G doesn't work at the same time as playing a 1080p60 video, so netflix/youtube are broken unless on wifi".
Meanwhile, some roommates and I hit 1TB in a week in a 4 person household. After quickly switching to an unlimited plan, some data accounting showed almost 80% of that came from the three game consoles playing online (fast connection = you're always the host in Destiny 2 apparently).

What I'm saying is YMMV. I bet you'd see different results if one or two of your housemates turned on 4K on youtube/netflix.

No, the CFO is dead wrong. I'm a very vocal Gitlab advocate and would have stopped promoting them if they did this. There are 100's if not 1000's of people like me and we help build Gitlab value. And then there is the GDPR to contend with.

> backward compatibility and marketability are, in fact, useful features

They are (and FWIW, the Stroustrup quote[1] is quite applicable here). I'm merely pointing out that feature creep leads to bloat/complexity which lead to people to complain, and that feature creep also leads to marketability (which is a reason why mainstream language spec documents typically have hundreds of pages). Personally I think this pattern is a problem, but I don't know if anyone has managed to figure out a solution.

The CFO is not in charge.
From my experience, it just feels good to have good-looking assets in the game. I used to buy with my spare money that came from freelancing gigs, so in my head I wasn't really spending any money that I needed, even because it never was a large amount of money, just enough to have some cool skins.

In hindsight, this money could've been better spent, but I won't blame my teenage self for enjoying a little bit of financial freedom.

Of course, you also get those really rich kids that only want to brag, others that buy in order to resell and profit from it, etc.
> I can't remember what it's called, something like 'Shaw enhanced browsing' or some shit, but basically this 'feature' allows shaw to route traffic through their servers and inject content into sites.

Stuff like this makes me wish it were a criminal offense to dishonestly describe a feature as an "enhancement" or "improvement" when 9/10 users would not see it that way.
>The negative result story only works if the research community would have very strongly expected to see the effect, almost reversing the role of the null and the alternative

Depends what you mean by "works". If you mean "is reasonably publishable in the current academic climate, then I agree. If you mean "has value", then I disagree.
It is a much different world now, My friends who did the dirtbag life are now finding their hens coming home to roost in a major way as they hit their late 20s/early 30s. If you don't have wealthy parents or connections it is going to be very difficult for someone with no degree and little work experience to catch a break at that age.

The freewheeling artist/hippy lifestyle of that time period was probably partially encouraged by how strong our economy was. Almost anyone could take the "risk" of dropping out of the workforce for a time to explore their spiritual side.

A white dude in his 30s with a high school diploma in the 70s-80s still had plenty of opportunity to jump into the workforce and start down the road to home ownership and family life.
If this is much smaller than the original library, does it exclude any features? or have different compatibility?

It's not supposed to be impressive, at least for me.

Sometimes you spend some money on the game simply because you really like it and want to support the developers.

I occasionally buy skins for fighting game characters simply because I enjoy looking at those skins (more than I enjoy the defaults). Heck, some characters are played exclusively because of cool skins (e.g., Blanka Chan).

I see no problem spending money in something that just looks cool if you're getting your entertainment value from the game. It's the same reason why you would buy that cool shirt you saw on the internet: you already have plenty of shirts, you don't actually need one more, but it would be cool anyway.

Tipped minimum wage is much lower than standard minimum wage. It was under $4 at the time in the state I lived in.

Well, the biggest UX fail for me on git was the ambiguous and counter intuitive use of the command `checkout`. I've heard the latest versions of Git mitigate this with `git switch` and `git restore` but seriously `git checkout` is the most confusing command ever. Just attempt to describe to an SVNer what `git checkout` does in one sentence or less.

I haven't used Hg, but I'm guessing it doesn't have anything as bad as checkout.
If your config is that complex, you might be better served by JSON - or the full JS or, say, Lua, for that matter. Because what you are talking about looks more like (interpreted) code than a config.
Technically we support all the way back to the iPhone 5S, but those devices don't support RAW, so you're really using it for its interface and access to manual controls. I mean, I'm biased, but I'd say that's compelling even without RAW.

As far as technical features, things get really interesting with an iPhone 6S and later. That's when Apple added RAW support, which requires a third-party app. On depth capable devices (7 Plus, 8 Plus, X/XS/11), we have detailed depth visualizations.

Anyways, we're generally forward looking, we'd be crazy not to serve most of the folks out there running older phones.

I had a baby who wouldn't sleep, and at 3 a.m. one night, while in a rocking chair with him, my sleep-deprived brain thought it would be funny to write a book of science experiments you can perform on your baby. Woke up the next morning, still thought it was a good idea, and decided to pursue it.
Yes, perhaps string theory is correct.
Good remark. I always tell people that a trade exists because a trade exists. In this case you're trying to game the "dumb" money. Question is how much alpha is there? If any, is it arbitraged out by people who have made the same observation as you? So something that worked in a backtest may cease to work when you implement it.

Stock splits are famously positive alpha events. The mere fact that a stock has now become more "affordable" because of a lower per share price causes people to buy it. But I don't think any professional investor in their right mind would trade such a strategy.

The pre ex date div strategy you suggest may be more relevant because there's a higher frequency of events. The effect may be more pronounced in more "retail" investor focused names. I wouldn't trade it in its own. But maybe group it together with a suite of other signals in a stat arb like strategy.

Why would it be considered a failure if Apple has two successfully, profitable lines of devices?

If Apple were interested in killing off the Mac, why would they introduce Catalyst to enable developers to more easily bring iPad apps to the Mac and why would they introduce Swift UI to make it easier to write cross platform apps?

Lastly, iPad sales were stabilizing/increasing slightly before they stopped reporting volume sells.
I’m not going to install kernel mode anticheat for anyone. This policy keeps me off some popular games like pubg and battlefield, but it also keeps malware off my computer.

The problem with any line of thinking like this is that this deals with the core human nature of self agency versus pre desposition to certain things.

While it seems like common logic to someone that has the ability to live cheaply and save money, the more important thing is someone emotional response in this situation - that person actually feels good about saving. Something like this is not intrinsic to human development, and is usually acquired through the persons upbringing.

So when a person that makes little money decides to buy a high end smartphone, its not because they are doing it out of stupidity, they are doing it because they need to feel the same positive emotion that the former person feels. And as long as they can get by day to day, they are not incentivized to make any changes.

The discussion to enact change needs to start with answering this question - how do you effectively "reprogram" someone to value delayed gratification over immediate gratification?
I'm not talking about existing contracts or the law in some far-off land, and neither are you. You deserve nothing. You aren't entitled to Gitlab releasing software the way you'd like them to. Maybe your brain tells you otherwise. Instead, just don't use their software. For example, I wish Windows 10 didn't have telemetry. But it does, so I don't use Windows 10.

The world doesn't owe you a free Git issue tracker.
