The CIA has always been ran this way since inception. The CIA was assassinating civilian factory managers in Vietnam. The CIA protects and sells heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, poppy fields for black budget pools of money, and the CIA absolutely creates false flag setups and nearly works with impunity.

Plus, forgot to even mention MKULTRA and all the gun running for black money.

“For the better part of a decade, a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled millions in drug profits to a Latin American guerrilla army run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. [This drug ring] opened the first pipeline between Colombia's cocaine cartels and the black neighborhoods of Los Angeles [and, as a result,] the cocaine that flooded in helped spark a crack explosion in urban America.[12]“

This implying a link to Pablo Escobar and CIA.

Also speculated but id have to dig for evidence that the CIA possibly directly introduced heroin from it’s start into central drug areas kingpins.

don’t have time to grab more links, it’s all out there like an open secret.
I find it difficult to imagine a sufficiently wealthy black person would struggle to find a lawyer willing to represent him, and be forced to fall back onto public defenders.

Most people who need a public defender are poor, and a large portion of the poor population is black.
Right, it's obvious, $2k per sucker for something they don't have to make until Q3 2020. Sounds like an interest-free loan to me.

I suspect they don't have the cash on hand for manufacturing the pending existing librem 5 orders, which unless I'm mistaken requires some redesign work to fix the thermal issues.
Im a big fan of a cli program called tldr[1].

Usually when the internet says "Run these commands", they either don't tell you what they do, or tell you to just check `man`. The problem is that man pages can be super long, can have a somewhat intimidating syntax, and 1,000 flags that arent your flag. Running `tldr program_name` gives you a way simpler manual with common flags and actual examples.

Today’s smartphones are drugs if drugs could tailor their chemical composition in order to more effectively target the individual user.

This looks interesting, I’m curious how the “free” tier interacts with the “self hosted” part - storage limits and compute limits don’t make a lot of sense if you’re providing those resources yourself.
It seems like people do really well for themselves after they leave McKinsey, do you think this is mostly a function of the cache having McKinsey on your resume brings? What skills are really developed as a management consultant?
> FF dev tools are awesome.

I switched back about a year or so ago. There are some nice things in the FF dev tools compared to Chrome, but on the whole, even a year later I still find myself opening Chrome to do something specific here and there in dev tools.
I'm more likely to click AMP links in search results than non-AMP links. The reason for this is the pre-loading that Google does for them. The links load almost instantly, where some non-amp link might take up to 20 seconds to finally load enough where I can start scrolling past the ads.

The Facebook instant links (or whatever they're called) have much the same effect on me. I'll usually open those if the headline even makes me a little curious.

Compiling my C++ code on ARM on a daily basis, and here it’s OK. In my case the bottleneck was storage. I’ve solved by building on a mounted network share located on a fast SSD on a windows PC. Gigabit LAN + desktop-grade SSD are much faster than eMMC of my target device.
Comparing EBS backed instance performance with an NVME backed x86 is plain wrong. I agree with the rest of the benchmark though.
Only reason I haven't moved to Firefox on my Mac is that I can't reassign keyboard shortcut for tab change (without using any external software).

Firefox default is Cmd-Shift-[], which gives me pain in left hand if I use it too much. So I have used OS keyboard to reassign the tab change to Cmd-[]. Most apps seem to respect it, but Firefox doesn't.

Does anyone have a better solution?
Respectfully do you work in the field, can you talk more to how you are able to do the work all on your own? Or is this an educated guess? If so, I doubt the service contract they were able to write was done by a fresh grad, I guess they are sourcing an internal legal team, and I suspect they have more internal experts to call on. It's common in legal and financial consulting to have junior staff do on-prem time consuming low value work that is a big waste of time for experts, who can be called in to join meetings remotely etc.

I fully agree and believe it would be much stronger to say that this is a consultant with "x months of experience" than "23 years old" which could mean anything from 'worked in this field since I was 16' to 'hired yesterday'.
It's always interesting to watch high profile people "stick to their guns" in situations like this when even the most basic amount of common sense would tell them to do otherwise. Such a shame too. Musk could be doing so much good by focusing his time and money elsewhere. Instead, he wants to spend all this energy terrorizing "little people" like Unsworth.
Which was some of the thinking behind the classic attempts at "company towns". On the one hand, yes reducing commutes is a public good, but directly or indirectly connecting your housing to the company you work for has it's own problems (including just the basic problem that your whole life shouldn't have to revolve around where you work). As with most things, you have to be careful what you incentivize.
Ok ok, but we shouldn't lose focus on the real threat to our cities: e-scooters!
Love this! My take on this same idea was to train GPT-2 on a bunch of D&D adventures and then pipe the output to speech synthesis. I ended up just publishing the output as a podcast. The app also creates its own static site. You can read about the AWS workflow I used to create it.

In france, its a classic move by big companies to have mbb formalize what they already know: a need to restructure which unfortunately involves firing people. Its easier to justify restructuring because mbb said so than because the company says so for some reason ^^

Unfortunately, a lot of strong chess players do not enjoy playing Chess960 because we've already invested hundreds of hours into learning openings and how those openings transition into a middlegame. While it's certainly fair (position is the same for both sides), it gives positions which are almost impossible to evaluate. This is exciting for spectators, but for me it's excruciatingly nerve-wracking. I can't play it.
Google shopping results are search ads with pictures. Every single listing is paid to be there. They're literally set up in the same place that the rest of Google ads are. EU wasn't able to distinguish this so they slapped them on the wrist.

Amazon isn't promoting sponsored products, they're promoting their own. That would be like Google only showing Pixel 4 as a result for "buy smartphone".

> I can't pull out my visa card and go buy a (atx, microatx, mini-itx) format motherboard for an ARM CPU, the CPU itself, RAM, etc, and build a system to run debian, centos, RHEL, ubuntu whatever on.

The difference between ARM and x86 is that there's no standardized ARM interface between the motherboard and the CPU—no ARM equivalent to ACPI. Every integration of an ARM CPU into a board is bespoke. So you have to buy "a board with an ARM CPU on it", not just an ARM CPU and board separately.

But, if you relax that restriction, it's not like it's hard to acquire "a board with an ARM CPU on it." 80% of single-board computers (e.g. the Raspberry Pi) are "a board with an ARM CPU on it." You can wipe pretty much any Android device (not just phones, but also HDMI "streaming boxes", which are a convenient form-factor for basing a workstation on) and install Linux on them. There are also some higher-end development/SDK boards for ARM embedded systems, like the Nvidia Jetson. What more do you need?
Same for me being a full-time pedestrian. I bought a very reflective safety jacket from a nearby aviation supply store. It's cut down dramatically on the number of "near misses" from regular vehicles.

People driving "rideshare" taxis still try to run me over in marked crosswalks an average of once per day. Nothing will come between them and their fares.

My next step is to buy a pocket-sized air horn. If drivers of cars can have horns, so can I.

Living in San Antonio, I ride almost every day. It is funny when I ride and have no phone or music I am much more aware of my surroundings. I also notice people texting more and when a car is driving funny can almost predict if they are on their phone.

The few times i have almost been hit is by someone who has a device in their hands and most are merging into my lane and not paying attention.
Abstinence based policies are not working. We need to let people hold and talk on their phone. Everyone is trying to hide their phone. Ride in a bus in the bay area and you'll see ~25-50% of people on their phone on a given day. Are there any studies of cities that allowing talking on the phone, but no texting?
I agree especially on the implementations front, when success or failure of a huge implementation project hinges on a single (or small team) of full-time employees, it's often better to just pay a premium to consultants to minimize the risk of a botched integration and have some written recourse, rather than firing an incompetent team and suffering the consequences of a botched project at the scale of a large company.

Google is trying to monopolize the internet, and they also sell data / ads. So inherently "spending more time in google ecosystem" leads to inherent value.
Sure, but all of these children got to live a full life instead of dying early, so "prolongation of life" applies there as well. A job well done, time to cross it off the to-do list? :)
My horn usage has gone way up. Driving stick in the US you have to pay attention to be in gear at the right time. In the past 10 years I've seen it get exponentially worse as people put their heads down coming up to a red light. Laws are written but not enforced. Friends and relatives die from drunk or distracted driving and it's frustrating because even though driving is a privileged and not a right people with multiple DUIs get back behind the wheel. Honestly, texting and driving should have as strict punishments as a DUI and I know that's an unpopular stance.
No laws against distracted driving? That's kind of a general catch-all, but it would fit...
Self driving will let you do things you can do while sitting down in traffic. Since I get carsick that means stare out the window. Basically, if you can't do it on the bus you can't do it in a self driving car either. With the bus you can talk to a stranger (which can be good or bad...).

A self driving car if anything makes congestion worse: people will send their car back home for free parking thus using much more road space.
the general topic would be systems theory / systems thinking. Lots of little scraps of knowledge of these kinds of knock-on effects are scattered around in various fields and disciplines, but I don't know of anywhere where they're gathered in one place for broad consideration or application. Not yet, anyway.
The impact is to unauthenticated TCP connections over encrypted VPNs. The attacker can inject arbitrary content into the TCP session, without knowing the VPN keys. If you are using an authenticating protocol for your cross-VPN traffic, such as TLS, then your connection over the VPN isn't vulnerable.

If you are relying on the VPN encryption to protect unauthenticated communication, then you're SOL. The vulnerability isn't in the VPNs themselves, precisely, but in the way VPNs and packet routing interact.
> making eye contact with drivers whenever at an intersection, stop sign

The number of vehicles with very dark tinting on front windows has, in my experience, increased dramatically. I do this, too, but it's getting to where I can make eye contact less than half the time.

Maybe I need to bring a very bright flashlight so I can make sure I can see the driver...
Having worked in the field for a few years after graduation myself, I've come to think of "strategy consulting" as mostly bureaucratic arbitrage.

8 times out of 10, the organization knows exactly what needs to be done. However, big organizations have thousands of stakeholders with competing desires. Steering the ship in a different direction can have negative consequences for thousands of people.

Due to this problem...even the people in charge struggle to do what needs to be done without being pitchforked out of the place.

BCG, McKinsey, etc. provide the perfect cover. Their mythical brand image and powerpoint sales abilities allow management to do what needs to be done, while offloading the risk onto a 3rd party. If the changes don't work out, you can fire the consultants! The management was just following the advice of the outside experts.
> The analyst is really just a vehicle to deliver the expertise of the actually-experienced consultants and knowledgebase of the entire firm.

This will sound stupid but MBB have industry benchmark spreadsheet databases that are a significant competitive advantage against our smaller firm.
McKinsey people develop very useful networks for their own careers.
They could, but the answer to "what should I spend $20b on" for both pretty clearly isn't "a fab where at the end of the day you might get a fraction of a percent better costs on bare dies from the vertical integration versus just buying from TSMC or whoever"

Fabs are both a commodity, and take a high capital investment. Unless you have a geopolitical reason to create one and you get .gov kickbacks to make it happen, then there's way better uses of your money.
My first question would be, why has no industry trade group attempted to define a standard socket, or use an existing physical socket pin-out.

It's not hard to acquire something with an ARM CPU on it, but at prices an ordinary person can afford, they're all in the category of toy computers. Try to find an affordable ARM system with a M.2 2280 NVME SSD slot on it like you can find on a $100 desktop x86-64 motherboard. Or multiple PCI-Express 3.0 x8/x16 slots.

I've previously spent many years working for a hardware manufacturer. Personal theory is that this is a real example of a chicken or egg problem related to economies of scale. Nobody wants to spend dozens of millions of dollars tooling up to produce ARM socketed CPUs and motherboards and stuff, which may or may not be price/performance competitive with current-gen Intel and AMD stuff by the time it's ready for release. And there's a huge risk in manufacturing something like that and then discovering that the sales volumes are really low.

Look at the sheer massive quantities that the top-ten Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers churn out every year.

> You can wipe pretty much any Android device (not just phones, but also HDMI "streaming boxes", which are a convenient form-factor for basing a workstation on) and install Linux on them

No you really can't, and phones aren't servers. Take any modern $600 smartphone and try installing something very close to a stock debian or centos on it. Being able to maybe boot a Linux kernel on something doesn't mean that there's anything like the market demand for that particular hardware platform target for a whole distribution.
I’m saying this should be done, not that it is done. The AD bit is garbage.
Because in the 1970s, those fonts were visual code for "computer", and there was some spillover into the 1980s. Books with a computer theme, such as type-in program books and young adult novels, often had part or all of their title set in such a font. You see it also on electronic products of the era, such as the Waddingtons Game Machine.
> The connection between the server and the client are normally encrypted

Keyword: Normally. What about DNS? DNS without DNSSEC via an untrusted AP cannot be trusted, that's for certain. Hence, you recommend your user to activate VPN first to avoid such attacks because now it's encrypted. Suddenly, that might change and your trusted-page.internal resolves to a different hostname. This /should/ be preventable via HSTS and certs for example with HTTP, but those are assumptions again. Or what about RDP? It's not encrypted, so you hide it in a VPN - mostly due to the cleartext password. But suddenly there's a vector that might be able to inject data into an RDP stream inside a VPN connection.

> - Detect an active VPN connection (and maybe close it/monitor it)

Not just that. They can detect TCP connections inside the VPN connection. Hence, you can start tracking if users of an access point accept anti-gov.com even if they go through a VPN. It might be detectable on the client side and it should be possible to mitigate this via configuration, but that's still plenty scary.
"programmers go home"? I'm guessing.

> where people are writing raw SQL queries because the libraries haven't caught up yet

SQL is a pretty good way of representing queries, I don't see how a library could be constructed that could do better. But then as an SQL guy I have a hammer so Omens Clavusum Est.

Edit: plural, so clavusuma? clavusa?
Google AMP mostly just reduces the latency by pre-loading the pages from Google Search results. That has the side-effect of increasing the traffic on networks using Google Search when Google AMP results come up on the Google Search results, which they probably will given that using Google AMP will improve the site's Google Search ranking.

I haven't benchmarked it, so I can't actually speak from anything but wild speculation, but Google AMP might actually be making this problem worse.

That comparison was never done. All CPU tests are on EBS backed instances, and in the end the I/O subsystem is compared in isolation for NVMe-backed instances in both cases.
