The purpose of that distinction is to tease apart the effects of the lock up expiring from other effects (anticipation of the lockup expiry and after effects of the earnings call).

I agree. Also, good luck to AMD and Intel both as the next few iterations of ARM stuff comes out and people start porting software over to that! It's looking like ARM will be taking quite a jump.
They have to place such things in public now? How terribly saddening. I doubt many people will enjoy taking a stroll through what feels like a high-security area.

I'm wondering how much longer until we get what part of China have, where you must go through a metal detector or other security to enter, say, a grocery store. But it's all for our security, so I'm sure it's okay.
While the mac address is a particularly egregious note, really they shouldn't be sending any data to ad firms whatsoever without consent, and fixing the referrer alone won't help much.

Aside from the data they're explicitly sending in those requests, they're running the response as JS, thereby exposing a bunch of data about your machine & browser, and the response itself is setting a long-term 3rd party cookie too, so that ads on every other site you ever visit can tie all this (and the fact you've used the wifi in this airport) to a long-term profile.

In Milan airport you can make a reasonable bet that most people are EU citizens, so sharing any of their identifiable user data at all for marketing purposes without consent is a huge and expensive no no.

It's not a good look. Referrer aside, I suspect there's no legal option other than dropping this ad script from their wifi login page entirely.
AFAIK Drugs are not available anymore on Alibaba.

You should not buy such important drugs from a dubious source.

Drugs from an official Chinese Pharmacy are probably very safe. If someone sells sugar instead of antibiotics be assured that he might face the death penalty.

Most raw materials are produces in China anyway, even if the medication is obtained from a western company.

You are correct. Everything is priced in, alas, with probability of occurrence. If you look at option pricing the probablity is part of Black & Scholes formula.

From my calculations of a total redistribution of money, which will be more than just redistributing funds from the wealthy, you'd have this:

Global money: $90,400,000,000,000

Global population: 7,742,131,000

Money per person: ~$11,650
Well, the current poverty line for individuals is about $12k per year. Making that for about 80 years is about $1M in a lifetime. So the numbers quoted represent living at about 3x to 5x the poverty line on average. Or something like $35k-$70k per year, which seems doable with a fair amount of comfort (especially at the high end of that range) in most parts of the country.
> You don’t see these problems in the U.K., Spain, etc. (Or for that matter in Maryland, New York, or Illinois.)

Because they don't have a PG&E in those places. Maybe the problem is with the culture at PG&E and not with the regulators? I can't figure out if your argument is that there wasn't enough regulation in California or there was too much of it.

So Facebook must allow easy access to data through an API (because users have a right to their data, etc), but at the same time, they must not allow easy access to data through an API (because developers will exploit that, Cambridge Analytica, etc).

Facebook is held to what basically is a double standard. They simply cannot win. I can understand Zuck's apathy.
I have noticed that, in the wild, referencing window.localStorage at all will raise a security exception in some browsers. If this happens inside of a React hook, it will unmount everything up to the nearest componentDidCatch(). In practice, everything involving localStorage needs to make liberal use of try, catch blocks.
Also on cloud level, azure is so much better than amazon (google is outclassed by both). Microsoft is not as loud as it was but still there is no replacement. If they manage to put windows desktop to the cloud, there is not much left for the others.

In the EU a B-class driver's license allows you to drive anything up to 3500kg. Exceeding that you need at least a C1 class license (truck/lorry license) for up to 7500kg. Above that you need a full C class license.

So 7200kg is definitely a truck/lorry.

All timescales happen simultaneously on the market. So there is a slice of the market that’s priced how you say: IPO plus many years. There’s another slice that’s priced on the day’s expectations, another slice on the quarter, etc.

How big each slice is varies per company. But OP is correct that for all slices that contain yesterday, yesterday is priced in. Which includes all slices that were in the order book yesterday.

Some people did get out between IPO and yesterday, and they would not have priced yesterday at IPO.

> The person who actually identified the virus "ebola" isn't the black guy that took blood samples of infected patients.

Ooooh man, your use of a racial descriptor in a generally dismissive sentence doesn't seem neccessary. What would be changed by omitting the word "black" here?

> I'm baffled as to how some people always fall for that old intersectional shtick of claiming there is racism,sexism,colonialism everywhere and in everything, just because someone says so.

I'm not saying this is never overplayed, but have you considered that racism, sexism, and colonialism might actually be more pervasive than you're giving them credit for? Women and black people score lower on math tests when reminded of these categorizatons in a questionaire before the test, while men, white people, and asians score higher (asians get more of a boost than white people). We're all neural networks navigating a complex maze of cultural biases we don't understand, and we internalise some of those biases as we go whether we're aware of it or not. It's difficult.
> "I'd imagine the major intelligence agencies have already started their own genetic databases, right?"

> The gig is up.

Absolutely. Also the Pentagon has another excellent source: It stores DNA fingerprinting for US armed forces personnel (so as to identify the remains of MIA/ KIA soldiers). If you could get your hands on that it would probably help fill in the family trees of people involved in intelligence work - I think it is fairly common for extended families to have lots of people working in defence and intelligence.

Presumably the Chinese can combine the family trees from these DNA databases with information from scraping Facebook/ LinkedIn etc and data from the Office of Personnel Management breach. IMO they should be able to connect DNA samples to people in the US very effectively, the DNA will map to a person or a few people and the Chinese will know the work - including intelligence work for the US government - that those people do. So, for example, if they pick a suspicious USB key or document they can take the skin cells of those who handled the object and identify them.
> People focus on billionaires due to the fact that they are the most stark representation of the deeply unequal society in which they live. Wealth inequality is very real, please refer to the following: https://www.stlouisfed.org/open-vault/2019/august/wealth-ine.... It's a rhetorical device

It's a rhetorical device that distracts from real problems and real solutions. Look at Warren's wealth tax proposal. It's blatantly unconstitutional and without precedent in the OECD. And what's the upshot? Just $275 billion in revenue per year. Compared to the $1 trillion or more we could raise by implementing a VAT, like every other OECD country has, or bringing payroll taxes in line with other OECD countries.

Focusing on billionaires also distracts from the nature of our "deeply unequal society." Look at the U.S. income distribution: https://taxfoundation.org/summary-latest-federal-income-tax-... https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/fair-share-top-400-us-taxpaye....

The top 400 taxpayers earned $127 billion in 2014, let's say an even $150 billion in 2018. There were 70 million returns filed by the bottom 50%. If you took all billionaires' income and redistributed it among the bottom 50%, they'd have about $2,000 a year more, or a bit more than 10%. But look at the top 50% minus the top 1%. (Even Sanders considers the 98th percentile to be "middle class" given his tax plan wouldn't raise taxes on people with household incomes under $250,000.) They have $7 trillion in income, versus about $1.1 trillion in income for the bottom half. If you want to talk about income inequality, that's the root of it. And that's the most significant kind of income inequality in terms of impact on peoples' daily lives. Billionaires aren't the ones driving up housing prices in urban neighborhoods and driving out people of color. Billionaires also aren't the ones that would be directly affected by the increases in VAT and payroll taxes that would be required to move to a more European model of taxation and public services.

If you took all personal income ($10 trillion) and divided it evenly among all filers (140 million), you get about $71,000. If you or your household make more than that, you benefit from inequality.

> So the group of people who leverage capital to sustain themselves and don't have to work have lower net income than the group of people who have to work to have a roof over their head?

Credit to Warren, her analysis doesn't assume that Medicare for All will result in massive cost savings, which I think is highly unlikely given the American political system.
The article is more or less BS.

For one, the claim is that Intel misleads intentionally. Given the timeline there's no particular reason to think there is something intentional here. The AMD-optimized version of GROMACS just came out ~5 weeks ago.

Second, while this is misleading in a sense, it's in the way that benchmarks are all generally misleading. By their intrinsic nature they don't tell the whole story. (And of course marketing departments cherry-pick benchmarks to tell the story they want to tell. Also by intrinsic nature.)

BTW, this isn't even all that bad for Intel. The AMD chip might outperform the Intel one, but only if your software has been specifically optimized for it.
> In the contrary, Intel has a lot of failures the last 2 years. Spectre, meltdown, ... This isn't bad luck anymore, it's more like bad karma if you are religious

It's more like regression to the mean.

They didn't scrap it exactly, they just relegated its function to use as an emergency propulsive abort system.

It doesn't seem like reliability has been a walk in the park there either.

You just leaped to the unfounded conclusion that every computer needs to run untrusted JavaScript. The vast majority of computers have no such need. Especially in a performance-sensitive contest like buying CPU for your database server that lives in a datacenter and never runs a web browser you will certainly disable these security things.
> One time I capped out my data for the month just trying to do this for a couple hours.

I have an LTE data plan that's limited to 3Mbit/s and I don't have a problem working over RDP. It uses about 100MB per hour.

I guess I just don't get the appeal. If you use VSO exclusively, it's super expensive. If you use it casually, you still need to have a local development environment and RDP seems reasonable for casual use.
Ceph has a lot of small ops, where lock and cache contention becomes very significant. (Basically a small piece of data/request comes in from the network and the OSD [object storage daemon] network thread has to pass it to the I/O worker thread and then forget it. The I/O thread similarly just needs to get the request issue a read/write, and let the kernel work.)

Since the whole Ceph I/O model is async the less waiting, scheduling, contention, etc. happens the better.

Currently Ceph is CPU bound, that's why they are trying to improve CPU perf.

Earth just experienced its hottest-ever October
I'm more concerned about the discrimination in finance/lending, which is thoroughly entrenched at this point.

Anyone can borrow $50,000 for a new car, $500,000 for a new home, or $5,000,000 in venture capital if they are connected enough. But there is simply no money available for anything outside of mainstream status quo thinking. That's why the Ubers and Airbnbs and WeWorks in these times are founded on hustling and even skirting laws in some cases.

That's great and everything (I guess?), but I am personally tired of the hustling/hacking mentality. I'd like to see real progress in the standard of living for everyone in the world. That's founded on the idea of self-actualization, that everyone has the modest resources needed to start their own business or invent the things that help themselves and their communities.

How many people here have been on verge of financial ruin trying to get their ideas off the ground? I've been up, I've been down, but overall I've basically been running on empty for over 20 years. I'm tired of it. I didn't expect my career to turn out this way. And I'm deeply concerned about a looming recession forcing otherwise capable, intelligent people to scrape by underemployed, doing menial work to make rent because there isn't enough capital flowing. Because it's all locked up in a few wealthy peoples' hands, who have a very Laissez-faire view of economics.

All of the above is why I'm almost certain now that hard times are coming as early as next year. I've already been through it twice with the dot com bust and housing bubble popping, and we're overdue for the next downturn.

^^^ Note that this wasn't always the case. There were protections in place like the Glass-Steagall Act that lessened these boom-bust cycles, which were overturned by the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act and others. What we've been going through with this vast increase in wealth inequality is by design.

I was born in 1977 so I remember when it wasn't this way. But many of you reading this now were born after the corruption was instated and might not realize how honestly affluent middle class Americans felt in the 1980s and 1990s.

It can be that way again, but please, look beyond private sector solutions to these problems. The government is We the People, not some specter out to get us. I know that many of you live in Silicon Valley and other big cities that suffer from high taxes or government micromanagement, but I live in Idaho and have seen how the lack of government can lead to widespread poverty and environmental degradation.

Laws can change and movements do happen, which is why I'm optimistic that reforms are also coming and that we might finally see some relief in the 2020s.
> Early 90's, I had just left the military and was thus able to apply for financial aid without recording my parents' income. So I was able to claim having made $15k the year before. I also accurately reported my savings. My total non-loan financial aid package consisted of $500/year of some state matching fund. I was also expected to contribute 100% of my savings in year one. I was told I had made too much money for a Pell grant. Something which remained true the next year when my income totaled $8k.

My parents income was slightly above your income, yet I got Pell grants all four years.

According to the technical specifications, the security rating is:

IWA 14: V/2,500(N1G)/48/90:4.5
IWA 14: V/7,200(N3C)/32/90:4.8

I interpret that like this:

2,500 kg vehicle traveling at 48 km/h penetrates 4.5 metres

7,200 kg vehicle traveling at 32 km/h penetrates 4.8 metres

The article describes one part of the specification and links to a video demonstrating the other part.

Bear and Ulysses, while nice, do not do what OP is talking about (unless they just did an update I’m not aware of).

Both of these apps do not abstract away the markup after a word is typed. This is the killer feature of Typora, along with the ability to completely redesign the entire editor yourself with a custom style sheet (along with awesome image management).

Typora has completely taken over my markdown workflow because of this.

I’ve tried Bear, Ulysses, IA writer, and countless others. None have this clever blended preview like Typora.
Yeah I agree it's not remotely practical and that there would be all sorts of crazy consequences, I just think the thought experiment is useful as an intuition check for how much wealth there is. As an aside, I don't agree that wealth is produced by the incentives inherent in inequality. Wealth is created when people make things and do stuff, which often happens because people want more than what they have, and that doesn't require inequality at all, just a desire to have a better life, however defined.

Back to the main point, we see someone worth $100b and we think there's plenty for everyone, but even in a best case scenario, where we can magically distribute an equal share of all the wealth to everyone and it all holds its value, there's nowhere near enough for everyone to have the standard of living we have become accustomed to in the richest parts of the world.
As seen over the past few decades, $50k doesn't go as far as it used to, and I see no reason not to expect the same in the future compared to now. In 30 years $50k might be poverty level income.

Programming languages are in the same boat - the modern CPU works dramatically different from a PDP-11, but most programming models still assume an accumulator machine; flat memory hierarchy; effectively unbounded LIFO program-control stacks; uniform machine word sizes; sequential in-order execution; and byte streams for I/O. This is despite large register files, multiple levels of caching, coroutines/promises, SIMD, multicore/GPU, and page-level I/O being things. In many cases even assembly language encodes assumptions from the 1970s, and then is internally translated by the processor into how the hardware actually works.
