Pretty sure someone like Putin knows how to pull the strings without actually being the president of anything.
I tried explaining this to someone but struggled a bit with
Motivating. I think in math it’d be nice to start out by explaining why limits and integrals are useful.
Not that I agree 100% with the parent poster, but your argument is flawed. ISPs are only part of the enormous tech stack that is required for the internet to work.

The fact that things do work doesn't mean that ISPs are doing everything correctly, not that there isn't reason for complaint or improvement. Just look at the state of the related infrastructure, both technological and political, in the US and elsewhere.
You could be. But you won't be. Getting denial of serviced on the web running a personal site is like getting attacked by terrorism. Sure, it happens, but it only ever directly effects the lives of less than half of a percent of people even with the most generous definitions of "terrorism". It's the reactions to it that cause damage.

And it's the same reactions to it on the internet that hurt and not the DoSes. Just run your website. If it gets DoS'd no big deal. It's not like you even need a single nine of uptime consistency.

I've run my for 20 years from my home connection, I've been a jerk on IRC, I've used it for gaming clans, I've hosted and continue to host tor onion services. I have never been DoS'd.
A fact the Tory media, politicians, and supporters (case in point?) repeat incessantly, despite it being a Labour party matter. That's weaponization.
The gem is at the end of the article. Looks like you get double time oomph before the thermal throttling hits in if you turn your Pi to a vertical position.
I bet ai is going to become like coding where everyone thinks they're an expert.
It’s nice to see the Foundation continuously improve the Pi. Makes me happy to stay with it; instead of looking for marginally cheaper clones.
Afaik pressed disk rot is reversible, data is stored on the plastic part (as the name suggests its pressed in by the die), repair would involve sputtering new reflective surface. Plastic itself will probably hold tens of thousands of years. Writable disks are another matter altogether.
... And if people were truly reasonable then your original statement would make sense.

Given the person I replied to just comes in "insulting" (by your standards) the OP's article all for not having included their favorite insert-random-webapp-of-the-day, making sure to repeat the apps name so we all see it oud and clear, his comment reads to me more like someone being paid to post about it -_- And secondly, considering again that the app he is pushing so hard completely contradicts the spirit of the original article, I think my rhetoric is just fine, I'm sure they will get over any tender sensibilities. Perhaps if they had suggested another app, such as Krita, which aligns more with the article, sure, but not when he comes in telling off OP for not posting hot garbage SaaS apps as a response to an article on open source like they didn't even bother reading it.
Seems like the actual name is GNUnet, I don't know why this title of the submission but I guess it mirrors the logo... bad choice
How can I build port an application that depends on reliable, unordered packet delivery to GnuNet? Does GnuNet have its own web browser? Are there "WebSockets for GnuNet?"
> Ok then. But that doesn't support the argument that compensation is too high

That is true, but I made no argument. You on the other hand, seemed to be explaining that such arguments are wrong, at least as I understood you.

> I can use your unknown argument to support even higher compensation, just as much.

Just as much, which is precisely zero.

You seem to be claiming that they are producing value, that needs to be compensated. You have no evidence, yet you speak as if you do.
There are certain jobs and specializations in which you can't just be average. You can find a place as an average doctor, but maybe not in neurosurgery.

But the real problem is "categorizing" people. You can't know whether someone is cut out for something unless they try, and America in particular does not like that kind of progression (after all, you can't try every career on the planet -- you can easily die never knowing what you are good at). They only really like people who choose to do a career they are good at on the first or second try. Or they like people who can convince others they've never failed at anything.
Is this universally true? Redis for example vendors jemalloc so it’s entirely possible for malloc to mostly inline? IIUC malloc isn’t a syscall like the underlying sbrk and mmap calls that malloc implementations use to get memory from the kernel?

The former soviet states are a great natural experiment in economics. Countries that liberalized their economies, like Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, and Latvia (the "mostly free" countries here: https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking) have grown much faster than countries that retained socialism and central planning, like Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova. See: https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2011/aug/17/ussr-s.... Remarkably, much of the economic growth came before Estonia, Lithuania, (Czechkia and Slovakia), and Latvia joined the EU. Indeed, their democratic and economic reforms, along with corresponding growth, paved the way for EU membership.
There are a lot of people in this thread who have very valid complaints about the web, but don't make any sense at all in context. This one is a great example. Sure DDoS sucks but what at all does that have to do with the difference between today's web and the web of the 2000s? Today's web offers DDoS protection (optionally) and the web of the 2000s did not.

The first DDoS happened in 1996. Absolutely nothing to do with the current topic at hand, completely off topic.
Pshaw - I still have my Supra 14.4, 28.8 and 56 modems. Use 'em to feed fax servers since that's about the only real use for modems still. Stacked on top of each other with their displays rotating... the memories!
I think you mean "adjusts to reality". The only new thing is this phenomenon where as long as a company is growing by 50% a year it's perfectly fine if it's losing five billion dollars a year and has absolutely no idea how to ever make a profit.
I work in the field and maybe there are people out there getting paid like that, but that’s not the norm at all.
I often maintain hard white list for remote services when VPN is not an option.

A cool option that does not have much implementation out there is using port knocking to open ports on demand. If the scheme is dynamic, it could be virtually impenetrable.

Another way to go is to have a web app on your network, behind some decent authentication scheme, that has a menu option to open a remote access session. This app then white lists your IP on your edge firewall for N time for service and presents a quick launcher link -or- send email with link etc. This would be a good option for an SMB with little tolerance for VPN.

I've watched some of these and the material and teacher are awesome. Two questions come to mind:

1. A ton of effort seems to be spent on making things run in parallel, but that introduces quite a bit of overhead too, so how well does a sequential baseline actually perform? By sequential baseline I mean a single thread that just executes all incoming transactions one by one in sequence.

2. This course seems to spend a lot of time on things that the teacher says are things you shouldn't do anyway. For instance there is an entire lecture on skip lists and Bw-trees, and at the end the teacher mentions that these are terrible. This is interesting from a historical perspective, but not only does this take a lot of time, I also lose track of which things you should and which things you shouldn't do. It'd be interesting to have a compressed course that spends less time on things you should not do, perhaps by adding annotations to the video to skip sections that are about things you should not do.
A Pennsylvania County Election Day Nightmare Underscores Voting Machine Concerns
>The first sign of lousy journalism is the chart of poverty with the $5.5/day limit, like the cost of life is measured in dollars and it is the same across the board. No, it is not, in some places $1 is the equivalent of more than $10 in other countries.

Assume that's true: $55 a day to support a family still sounds like shit to me, depending on how you enumerate that.

for reference, that daily value multiplied out for an equivalent monthly wage covers about two thirds of my base monthly rent.

That is not counting heat, hot water, and electric bill. Also not counting food, internet, phone, clothes, health coverage, gas, insurance, etc.

i live in the US northeast; $19,800 a year is ~16% below the poverty line for a family my size this year https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines.

So sure. that sounds like poverty to me.

2x. I respect meat and treat it as a special treat with small portions. If the price of meat were higher more people would do the same.
On anything short of a monster TV at a too-short viewing distance I can’t tell the difference between 4K and 1080p. And for a high percentage of the content I watch there’s no benefit to anything over 720p. If I could get HDR on a 1080p tv and save some money I’d do that.
None of the logic in that argument would change if I replaced “beef” with “long pork”.

Personally, I don’t claim to know how much “personhood”[0] a cow has. It’s possible they don’t count and we shouldn’t care. But it’s only consistent to say “the meat industry is good for cows“ if you also say “the cannibalism industry is good for humans”.

Not that I’m doing a great job of being a morally consistent person myself, as I’m only vegetarian, and dairy is also really bad for bovine welfare, what with the forced pregnancies and slaughtered newborn calves.

[0] for lack of a better term — I know some people regard “person” as a synonym for “human”, but “self aware” and “sentient” are just as bad.
Oh boy, this was an addiction. Just the right mix of classic - Subspace/Continuum - gameplay with the ease of access of a browser game. It felt good to play a game I was half decent at, too. Wrote a Python API, started a Discord server and then life got in the way. Good times, though!

If I could magically put this at the top, I would.

There are other options, but they require hosting on overlay networks, and running your own name servers. But then people must install suitable gateway routers to reach your sites. Those can be VMs, but it's nontrivial for most people.
DESQview API was pretty nice for the time.
Same things can be said about practically any professional job. If the job is required, it should pay market salary, as it does in essentially every other profession.

> IBM rules about confidentiality meant that some Microsoft employees were unable to talk to other Microsoft employees without a legal translator between them.

Haha, this is so ironic. I've worked on projects for MS that were just the same. We had to have code names for their code names and a code name for MS itself. Even our own code names had to be uttered with caution. Maybe they learned from IBM? Edit: Thinking about it some more, maybe they really did. None of the other big tech companies we did work for were that secretive.

Traditionally purchasing power parity dollars are used for comparisons across countries. Would be nice if journalists specified but you can pretty much assume that’s what their sources used

Otherwise, as you say, these comparisons are meaningless.
The scope of ambition for this project is breathtaking. Best of luck to them!
I had the chance to visit Belarus last year for a extended period. The capital, Minsk, is by far the cleanest and safest place i have seen anywhere.

Putting aside the human right issues, i think the president there has run the country quite well given the circumstances and the post-soviet situation he inherited. Mostly staying out of conflicts, keeping a balance between the big brother to the east and the western European countries, growing the economy (with a big IT sector). But - unlike e.g. Ukraine - all without the usual post-soviet hard system change that displaces workers from the old soviet state companies and social structures they relied on.

What I've Learned over National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) 2019
I solved it like this:
The numbers are x, x+1..., x+10 = 11x + 55. One is erased therefore 10x + 55 - y = 2012. 10x - y = 1957. We know X is whole so we need a number between 1957 and 1967 that divides 10 and that is X. 1960 so X = 196 and therefore y = 3. Answer is X+Y = 199.

I think a school student can do this math manually. The hardest part is the sum of the first N(in this case 10) numbers and then finding the divisor. Yes there might be a better solution.

But I think a kid would think up a brute force algorithm like this and it is easier for small N. The computation is only in O(N) complexity haha. And if an answer exists it will always be found - so it is a real solution. Might be the first algorithm you write if you are tasked to do this with software.
On the other hand, how much hype and commitment does it build for people who decide to sit in queue?

Maybe by the time you sit in queue for an hour, you're more likely to make more purchases than you would have otherwise. Or people feel like they're missing out by shopping on Amazon when they can claim a spot in queue.

We're not all that rational.
I love the principle behind this initiative. One suggestion to the people behind this work. Give this page a Stripe like ease of getting started with the first use case. I'm sure developers would love to get behind something like this. We just need to make it easy for them to get started.
I think this is what happens when you have various stakeholders and some are driven by KPIs such as reach / views. To that end those specific stakeholders (content writers / marketing) will bias towards sensationalism. That's not to excuse the organizational culture which allows for this behavior / outcome. There does need to be course correction.
General Discussion
Any questions about your story?
It happened to VR a few years ago. The development slowed down when companies realized the sales. Unlike VR, AI is not a physical good that users/customers can purchase and test directly. It is just a buzzword. Companies will use it to death at every opportunity to market themselves. This is unstoppable. We will hear more about it, maybe until people get sick of hearing "another crappy ai product".

The existence of Facebook and Google can be completely ignored if you actually want to. Emphasis on if you actually want to.
I didn’t know this, thank you.
Cousin marriage isn’t a specifically Pakistani thing. At the levels it occurs at in the Pakistani community it is basically a Muslim thing though. The only non-Muslim country that falls in the Muslim range is India which has about the same population prevalence as Turkey. Given the much higher prevalence in Pakistan I’d guess that’s almost entirely due to India’s large Muslim population.

I would argue that in the case of Ukraine and Moldova, the main reason for their bad economy today is the large scale corruption that took place during post-soviet privatization in the 90s. This has lead to the extreme Oligarch power structure that we see today.
I’ve watched from the sidelines as a lot of rapid-growth but loss-making companies with “no idea how to make a profit” suddenly figure out how to make a profit. I said “pah, unprofitable!” And turned down opportunities to invest in Google, Facebook, Amazon etc at tiny fractions of their present valuations.

A company with a lot of growth is nothing to sneeze at, even if they haven’t yet properly monetised. Speaking of which I’ve been meaning to buy Uber shares...

The buzzword back in the 70s-80s (after AI over-promised in the 1960s) was 'expert systems'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_system

(To the extent that I have kept up with it) modern AI skips the 'knowledge base' part of ES, in favor of pattern-recognition based on 'training'.

Today's (Indeterministic, trained, n-net) AI has clearly saved a lot of time/effort in creating 'knowledge bases'. I suspect it appeals more to singular fantasies about 'more human than human' intelligence. (Sorry Ray)

Question is: Is today's AI even a magnitude-better than (deterministic) ES insofar as extensibility and verifiability? What if we had spent those decades refining the ES approach instead?
Another Cat in the Wall
The problem with the Raspberry Pi is that it is based on dead IP after Broadcom fired the whole division and canceled the program.

It went ok the last few years as at least the CPU improves as the foundation makes an effort to release new SoC revision with updated ARM cores.
However the GPU is in a dead end since quite some time and most likely this will never change.
I wonder how the antennas "unfold".

Always interesting how money data is usually offered up with no context; almost always a ploy to guide thought. In one of my case law classes, the professor had us read a Friend of the Court letter from the CEO of a company that specialized in the wiring for both consumer and industrial vehicles. The case centered on factories being offshored. The CEO was attempting to demonstrate how they had bent over backwards to keep their operations local and their pay high, and as an example he said how starting pay in ~1973 was $7 an hour. The teacher rolled nodded and smiled at the groans of dismay from my woke classmates, and soon followed a round of complaint and anger for the wealthy. Instead of getting pigeon holed as a right-wing shill, I googled the value of 7 1970 dollars in 2019, which was roughly $40. Imagine a world wherein low/no-skilled (by silicon valley view) labourers could start at $40 an hour working for a CEO that works to keep jobs in the country he owes his success to.

A bit of an aside, I know. But it is so frustrating how we've surrendered context for controversy so we can drum up rage and clicks instead of understanding they complicated reality. I hear Belarus is very clean and many of its citizens love their country, but that's probably propaganda.
How about we start with: the people who actually work in the company get the profits. Corporations are supposed to exist to fill a public need and employ people, not to make their owners richer than kings.

Trump did not in fact win the most electoral votes by convincing the electors. They normally vote for the winner of their respective states, and 2016 was no different.

If the electors for states he won had been persuaded to vote for the popular vote winner, that's what would have taken convincing.
I probably shouldn’t poke fun- but I found it a little bit hilarious that we brought a Pi 4 to its knees on launch day in the Cambridge Pi Store just demoing a web application.
