Similar experience here. Growing up in Bulgaria as kids, my friends and I mostly learned English from Discovery Channel and Cartoon Network. Because it was pirated or probably too expensive to be translated, the content wasn't dubbed and there were no subtitles for most shows.

A few years later in high school when visiting a school in Germany, I was shocked to find out that the kids there were watching Discovery Channel completely dubbed in German.

I don't work at AWS but anything Nitro-qualified likely refers to their integrated hypervisor system that relies on a software hypervisor that works in tandem with various FPGA-based hardware controllers to provide boot chain and device attestation, and device binding (e.g. ephemeral storage keys never leave the block device FPGA controller). In this case Nitro "enclaves" presumably encompass a public API to bring up EC2 instances that are attested using the same internal PKI that Nitro-based EC2 systems use for their control plane.

From a side-channel perspective it's likely better than SGX as I presume EC2 already uses more resilient core affinity (e.g. no hyperthreaded core sharing across instances) and other mitigations, many of which aren't even possible with SGX.

OTOH, their PKI system and other implementation details are likely much more complicated than Intel's SGX system (which also utilizes an online, centralized authority), with many more avenues of attack. There are just many more moving parts with EC2. But it's difficult to say as it's all proprietary.

TL;DR: From a general data confidentiality perspective, EC2 is likely better. From a nation state-level attacker looking to subvert attestation, I'd lean Intel.
That's pretty funny in a messed-up sorta way.

Iterate over the list, re-tying it backwards as you go. If you reach the end, there's no loop. If the order is important, you can re-tie again, still in O(N) time. If you end up at the head, there's a loop.
"Nature abhors a vacuum". Apple created that vacuum. Perhaps they should err in favor of transparency for the people who are paying their bills ... but it's consistent with having chosen the dark path for the Macintosh, long ago.
That is what "Suspense for Data Fetching" is going to help with. It is already perfectly possible to handle data fetching nicely, it just isn't incredibly easy. When Suspense for Data Fetching goes stable, it will be trivial to do right.

Universal basic income is far more comprehensive than raising the minimum wage, which selectively benefits only the people that manage to get the limited minimum wage jobs available.
I don't know much about this article, but Matt Stoller wrote one of the most garbage articles about Netflix a while back, where he claimed Netflix has a monopoly on online TV show production.

I think he lacks analytical rigor and basically bangs on a keyboard with strong emotions.

Having said that, McKinsey consulting services really are 90% a finishing school for Ivy League liberal arts majors so they can move onto real work.
Why is Apple not capitalizing on its user data?
I had a discussion today with someone who has held Apple stock long enough to make something like 14X times over its original value. He's a former Apple employee who had a fairly substantive role on the hardware side.

He thinks that if Apple were to go all-out to capitalize on its user data, it would be worth 2 trillion dollars.

And he thinks that the one and only reason it doesn't is because Tim Cook is too principled.

I really feel differently. My sense is that

a) the business of selling the user as the product is getting a bit shaky, with an early manifestation being the fact that blocking ad tracking is becoming built in to browsers. It may not be such a great place to be in the long run.

b) Apple's identity is about being for the user. A big differentiator between the Mac and PC worlds is the lack of crapware on the Mac, and in the Internet world, that approach is resonant with the focus on privacy. To suddenly go in the opposite direction would create a lot of bad feeling and lose them a lot of customers;

c) Making money by selling excellent hardware and services is a path that means Apple doesn't have to sell it's customers as a product to advertisers. That's a strategic, long-term differentiator which can be an advantage.

And d) I didn't say this to him, but as a matter of general principle, selling your soul for money isn't usually a good idea. It's true that Google went from "Don't Be Evil" to definitely being on the dark side, but they didn't have a decades-long investment and identity built around it in the first place such as Apple does. Going to the dark side might make for quick short-term profits, but what would it do to the culture and spirit that enabled it to make such great products?

Finally e) I'm not sure that they really could add as much as he thinks to their revenues by selling user data.

I'm wondering what other HN'ers think: Could Apple double its value by capitalizing on its user data?

Back when I was a McManager, I appreciated anyone who treated my employees and I like actual human beings. Whenever possible, I'd go above and beyond for those people :)

At my peak I made $11/hour and employees started at ~$7.50 so a $2 tip was a wonderful bump for the hour. Tips weren't generally shared since they never officially happened. We weren't setup for them because of tax purposes. Other fast food restaurants like Sonic rely on tips and are equipped to handle those kind of situations.

Since then (2015) McDonald's raised their USA minimum to be $9 and likely more since I last checked.

It would change the end-product of TASing to be a bot instead of a fixed run. A fixed run would be impossible, like you say, and instead the goal would be to create a bot that could perform well across many runs.

It’s not the role of every job to provide a livable income.

How many people on HN wouldn’t have a job at all if their company wasn’t subsidized by VCs?

There was an article posted here a few months ago that the average 7/11 owner makes $35K a year and that’s with them putting in 60+ hour weeks. Most small business owners aren’t getting rich.

Actually, I wouldn’t be completely opposed to abolishing the minimum wage and having a universal basic income.
Since you work on AMP, can you please disclose why Google results call the AMP carousel “Top Stories,” when indeed it’s not the top stories, but the top _AMP_ stories? Please create a ticket that instructs engineers to immediately change this nomenclature to either “Top AMP Stories” or start allowing non-Amp pages to appear in this carousel. This is misleading to users of Google.
"A team of investigators told the official Xinhua news agency on Monday that a preliminary investigation had concluded that He had “organised a project team that included foreign staff, which intentionally avoided surveillance and used technology of uncertain safety and effectiveness to perform human embryo gene-editing activity with the purpose of reproduction, which is officially banned in the country”."

> thats the danger. If these edits become available broadly, youre not only worrying about co-expressions of edit genes developed at the same time, but edit genes developed at any time in the past (oh and also the rest of the human genome, which we still dont understand fully, and is a base concern for any gene editing whatsoever)

<shrug> Then people who chose that mating pair will get weeded out. It sucks to be the individual victims of that, but that's not a big deal for the species.

In addition, biological systems almost always have variation. Even Ebola isn't 100% fatal. So, even if you have an interaction, some people will have another mutation that deactivates the interaction.
You're right. Apple is worse. They show only Apple News results.

I think you are misunderstanding your adversary. I don’t think I should have to pay your kid’s babysitter, and I’m not conservative, and I didn’t form that opinion by hearing it from a trope pushed by a think tank.

I do support universal health care though, and I see these as very different issues.
The concerns about the LHC were a hell of a lot more hypothetical than about germline editing, and that did change the calculus. We know that current genome editing techniques have off-target effects.

You're arguing from some abstract philosophical perspective, but the practical situation is much simpler. Nobody is drawing categorical conclusions and saying that we should never edit the germline, and at the same time the opinion that we should do germline editing right now is fringe. The tools, while much better than ten years ago, still suck. Outside a few well-characterized alleles in Mendelian diseases, nobody knows what to edit, what side effects edits will have or why. It's likely that in a few years we will know, given that we're quickly improving both the molecular techniques and the genome knowledge bases necessary to understand the consequences of the edits. But until then, it's dangerous and unethical to experiment on babies without their consent or pressing medical need, and scientists are right to freak out about it.
I know. I’m saying it should be more generous and easier to receive throughout the year.

I wholeheartedly agree. A great example of marketing fluff content.

Still, a great example of marketing and proof that fluff sells and is probably useful for many.
Amlogic and Allwinner SoCs have varying degrees up media decode support in mainline kernels (h264 is supported, other codecs vary). Armbian supports a bunch of such boards with Linux 5.3. What exactly are you trying to do?
Oh, yeah. I am well aware of that and that interpretation did not enter my mind at all (being entirely surrounded by graphics and not in a conventional terminal-style font may be part of the reason why).

I still think it's a little confusing but I understand why it is that way at least.
Also Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, and every other link aggregator (unlike Apple News or FBIA, which were designed for the same purpose). What part of that don't you understand?
Paid "Plus" plan and connecting to their dedicated P2P servers in Switzerland and Sweden. Definitely getting throttled by them to ~20Mbps while torrenting. Tried a competitor VPN - no throttling, torrenting at full speed. Glad I only paid for a month - they won't be seeing any more of my money once the month's up.

You are correct, however, you're referencing conflicts between nations with nation-level resources to bring to bear for said conflict. 9/11 was particularly devastating because it was executed by so few, with so little resources, and harmed so many.
Real-estate speculation is basically rent-seeking, but inheritance is not. If someone amasses a fortune by creating wealth and leaves his assets to his offspring, they are not parasitic even if they never work. What matters is how the wealth was originally accumulated.
People who block JS by default but who don't want to completely turn off JavaScript encounter that 8-second delay. (I'm using "ad-blocker" loosely -- it refers to any kind of tool that blocks ads and tracking. On my computer, it's blocked at the hosts level in addition to an add-on.)

Some people don't want to load resources from Google's servers, and they shouldn't be punished for it. That JS file isn't needed for AMP pages to load. People don't need to load JS to read text and view images. I don't think there is any reasonable argument to have any users hit an 8-second delay.
Batteries are getting literally hundreds of millions of dollars a year in R&D investments and have been for decades. We could increase that by a few Billion per year, but it’s not obvious what would make a good investment over just buying more batteries and letting the market develop.
I find it very difficult to care what privileged people from capitalist countries have to say about the problems of capitalism.

So what are the underpriveleged saying about it?
It could be a correlation rather than a causation. Small countries don't have the financial justification to dub movies and they also must rely on english for professional reading material since there are not enough people to justify publication of local language books. They also tend to rely more on other countries for import and export. Therefore people have to know English just to be able to study and communicate.

The Spanish market is huge and so are other big influential countries like Japan, Germany or France which is still spoken in many other countries, mainly in Africa. So there is less incentive to learn English because everything is available in the local language.

There are other factors like closeness of the language to English(north European countries) and colonialism(the sub continent). The advancement of the Latin American economies makes Spanish a much more viable and influential competition to English so English becomes less necessary. You can even see it in popular culture where Spanish music and tv shows become popular all over the world. As a non Spanish speaker my random vocabulary in this language increased a lot during the last couple of years.

We Will Not Discuss APIs Without a Postman Collection
From the report:

The vast majority (99.9%) of Uber trips end without any safety-related issue at all.
For example, for the trips in 2017 and 2018:
•1.4% of trips had a support request of any kind, most frequently for issues such as lost items, refunds, or route feedback.
•0.1% of trips had a support request for a safety-related concern, and the majority of those concerns were about less-severe safety issues such as complaints of harsh braking or a verbal argument.
•0.0003% of trips had a report of a critical safety incident,8 which are the incidents referenced in this report
Information delivered slowly is less useful than information delivered quickly[1]. If there are 5 takes on an AP-wire article I want google to give me a fast site over a bloated slow site. The finer points of how they get to a fast site don't particularly matter to me.

[1] One of the nicer features of HN is that it is snappy and responsive - ime the polar opposite of many non-AMP news sites.
Interesting, yeah I pay by credit card so the $2 addition is definitely "on the books", unfortunately. I think each restaurant or chain has a different policy on how they disperse tips and I know some places do pool it (and I've def heard horror stories where the manager or owner keeps a huge chunk of the tips). But yeah I mean, everyone is valid and awesome and deserves to be treated right. Even if they make a mistake I only mention it if it's massive or repeated, and even then I don't want "a free meal", I just want to not have a key ingredient in my dish missing (or whatever) hahaha ;)
This very accurately describes my own reaction!

Why don't govs give tax breaks for everything that's battery related? Extraction, shipping, manufacture, sales...? I feel the price would halve instantly.

I think something like this, but for lambda and cloud run would also be cool.
If the society will carry the individuals, can it require they not reproduce? While not necessarily germane to this report, many in poverty make it worse by having children. Can require those on the government programs be temporarily sterilized? If not, we will only continue the cycle of poverty.
Bottender is a framework that helps you develop your chatbot with multiple channels in mind and you can at the same time benefit from the flexibility that other frameworks don't have. And also Bottender is the first framework I seen to use declarative API for chatbot, just like web frontend and mobile app do now (React, SwiftUI...). IMO, conversational user interface is a kind of user interface, so it should be treated the same way.

'sex chat'
currently, from my location, 'free chat now' has 2 of the top 3 results. 'i sexy chat' has 2 of the top ten results.

'chat i w ' is number 13, and has been top 10 for much of past couple / few years.. yet they are 'not an adult site' since they run GGL ads...

should be top 5 again.. sexchatsexchat.com has way more content and history..

there are many more sites I could suggest that actually have chat systems running (unlike the porn dood site which is a top 20 link list)

there are many good sites that aren't even in the results at all... these are being gamed by well connected linkers, not ranked by amount of content and length of time people would stay and enjoy.

imbo - in my biased opinion, I have more to add but wonder if it does any good.

a new engine that handles adult better, I would help with.. the other sites listed here do not do these results justice either.. again imbo, ymmv.
Microsoft Fluent Design Patterns
At work we subcontracted a library. It's written in fairly idiomatic C. The person I replaced wasn't comfortable with C so he asked the sub to write a C++ wrapper.

Lots of stuff is just a typedef if the C struct in a namespace. Classes that do work all have private constructors and static member functions that return a new'd pointer to the object. They also have static member functions to deallocate the objects.

Thanks for the C++ wrapper assholes. Your C++ wrapper looks more like C than the C library it's wrapping.

Greenfield C++ (or anything that was greenfield with C++11 in mind) is a joy to write. Idiomatic C in C++ or idiomatic Java in C++ is terrible. The fact that you can write so many different styles is probably the reason the language is so ubiquitous, but it sure sucks a lot more to deal with other people's shitty code in C++ than in many other languages.

I don't think government funding battery research makes as much sense now as it used to. Absolutely everything runs on batteries nowadays, to the point where they are the main source of expense and weight for a large swathe of consumer goods. The commercial incentive to build a better battery is just huge. I remember reading some years ago that the prospectus of a large oil company, ExxonMobil maybe, explicitly singled out a sudden leap in battery energy density as something that could torpedo their $250b/yr business. It's hard to see how the government finds a way to build something that the private sector can't, when there's a trillion dollars at stake.
A related problem harder for C++ to prevent is passing a pointer to a local (say a local int) and having the callee increment the pointer. This is a form of the sprintf bug.

C++ has references which won't suffer from this, and containers and such to avoid sprintf()-class bugs. But if you're still writing C++ code while thinking of C there isn't much C++ can do about it.

In UNIX systems you already can adopt many of plan9's design ideas. For example, any application can open and read files to communicate with other apps. I think the main problem with plan9 is that what it offers can already be done in other flavors of UNIX. So, what remains as innovation is the software itself, which is not enough to make users adopt plan9.
