No, it doesn't. The question wasn't whether this phone at one point after receiving it becomes a fully functional phone, it was explicitly asked if it's a fully functional phone when they receive it. And Putism's answer was yes.

Purism also wrote in earlier blog posts that the phone in its current state of course can make phone calls. For example they wrote more than one month before anyone outside of Purism got their phone:

> In the Wild: People have been using their Librem 5 while traveling, working and relaxing to connect to WiFi hotspots, browse the internet, use social media, play games and yes… to call and send text messages.

They explicitly tried very hard to not make it sound like the device in its current state is basically completely unusable as a mobile device or phone. If someone actually expected a device which has no standby mode, lasts less than an hour on battery, has a smaller battery capacity than advertised, can't be charged reliably while turned on, can't make phone calls, can't send/receive messages reliably, ... then that's because they listened to the so called haters and trolls, not Purism.
In my own experience with working from home, there are some insidious trade-offs. Especially if you are not closely supervised, or are your own manager in any way. I’ve spent the past 5 years working from home.

Social isolation is by far the worst part of it. We are social animals, and phone calls and voip meetings actually don’t cut it. If you (well At least if I) spend much time physically alone, I am lonely.

This causes all sorts of little problems. Including strain on your romantic relationships, as your SO becomes more and more central to your social world. As you can imagine, this is a recipe for countless problems. A kind of inertia appears, which makes it less and less appealing to leave the house. You want to see people less. You end up mixing up your work and leisure time (why are you working at 8pm? Why are you playing computer games at 10am? It doesn’t matter that’s why.)

There are ways to mitigate these of course. But they’re mostly just tricks. Like working in a coffee shop, or going for a walk in the mornings.

I think it comes down to the type of person you are. If you can get up every day, and crush work completely alone for a few hours, then use your extra leisure time alone productively, then keep an active social life (one good enough to compensate for the hours spent alone at home every day), then there are no trade offs. I am not. I’m easily distracted, I procrastinate, and mostly couldn’t be bothered to go out all the time to meet people.
Then why not implement it that way? Make the minimum wage small and bump it up a bit ahead of inflation every year. If things go south (this hasn't happened in any other country that has done it) it can always be reversed.

For what it's worth, here in Australia there's only around 10% less McDonald's stores per capita to the US, despite a $20 minimum wage. All these workers can afford to eat and live in some of the most expensive cities in the world and the country isn't collapsing under unemployment.
I'm not advocating for any specific policy change (although I think minimum wage should be raised and indexed to inflation), but rather am talking about cultural changes that need to be addressed.

Broadly, as a society, we want people to have jobs that pay them enough to survive, and with enough margin to do other stuff. Not everything can (or should) tie back to economic value. Otherwise we end up cutting off our noses to spite our own faces, as we focus on the short term rather than the long term health of a wider community.

More than anything, we want to reward diligence, professionalism and effort, in whatever form that might take.
Cold Disaster Recovery for Applications in Google Cloud
The fact that these users work for Google and/or on the AMP team is stated in their profiles. However, as is almost universally the case, they never disclose it in the AMP discussions. And how many people go and check other users' profiles?

This is important info considering the moral and technical gray area of AMP. We've seen members of the AMP team discuss AMP "in good faith" here while shutting down any questions and discussions on all AMP-controlled venues (GitHub issues, mailing list etc.).
Plenty of people have no desire to apply creative thought or take further responsibility at their workplace. My best friend's boyfriend, for example. Has a university degree, works at a gas station. Was a manager at that gas station, didn't enjoy it, went back to being a team member. Leaves his work at work, checks off the boxes on the checklist while he's there.

He does have the relative security that comes with having a long term partner that does make a professional salary, but I don't think that diminishes the motivational piece. Not everyone is as ambitious as every one else. Of those that are, not everyone's ambition is pointed in the same direction. Some people just want to rock up at work for 8 hours a day, go home, watch some shit TV that they enjoy and then go to bed. Frankly, that's ok. There's not enough programmer/marketing professional/CEO/Founder roles for everyone to have them.
Just one, and that's roughly the right ballpark.
No, that's bartering because you haven't acquired any capital assets that add any value. Chickens could be considered capital assets to an egg producer. Chicken coops too because they're the "factories." Finished products aren't capital assets. If you traded 20,000 eggs for a milk cow, now your wealth has increased.
Sure, you are also entitled for an opinion! We simply have different expectations and that’s O.K.

And as for repairability, it’s subjective. I have a soldering iron and my dexterity is not bad at all, therefore many things deemed hard to repair by some are easy for me. I bet there are people who are much better than me and have better equipment, so let’s not pretend that there’s an universal repairability score or something like that.
> If you vote for a president denying global warming, you have little ground to sue your county for not acting on sea level rise.

Variable length integers are used in many places (protobuf, utf, etc), so you could also have unbound length there as well.

My 100% perfect concept ( :D ) would be [length]<here's the pointer>[data]where length would be read high to low. Because of the functionally upper capped length (maximum address space) we can treat accessing that as O(1) vs. O(N) for null termination, etc.
To be fair I never said it would be to the advantage of the people we relocate, but it would be to the advantage of the rest of us. Imagine a society with no poverty, no homelessness, next to no crime, etc.

> 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.

A primary point of SGX is confidentiality: the host OS can’t map and read enclave pages because the contents are encrypted and the hardware will generate an exception on any attempt. In other words, your data is confidential from even the infrastructure operator.

None of this confidentiality applies here, so it’s mostly irrelevant whether the side channels are better mitigated. The host OS can dump data whenever it wants. The better protections against side channels is pure speculation, ... and it’s nonsense to say that Nitro is uniquely capable of core isolation. This would work equally as well for limiting side channels for SGX — disabling hyperthreading is literally Intel’s recommendation AFAIK.

Of course, those side channels would still be exploitable by the host. But in this case, Amazon wouldn’t even need the side channels, since the door is wide open. This system appears to be providing only integrity measurements, a locked down data plane, and standard hypervisor isolation.

I’ve got nothing against this product (and I have mixed feelings about SGX) but the conclusion that EC2 is better for “general data confidentiality” is a weird assertion. Maybe you could make an argument that it makes integrity better, easier, etc. but not confidentiality.
When people ask me for a "user-friendly" or newbie-friendly Linux Desktop experience, I recommend either Elementary OS or Mint Cinnamon Edition, depending if they are coming from macOS or Windows, respectively.

This is true so long as they're not in some need to always be using the latest kernel or packages (e.g. casually curious desktop user, or developers looking to use standard interblag languages/tools). People who are setting up the machine for their parents or aunt or uncle, or who are just wanting to "get into Linux" by using it some of the time.

Both of them focus on an approachable UX, OOTB functionality, and stability. Updates tend to be minor desktop-centric improvements, building on the same kernel and base packages over a year-and-some period, as they are both built on top of Ubuntu LTS. Things change less often, so they break less often.

If they really do desire some newer software version that isn't backed by the Ubuntu LTS, the PPA system is there to fall back on. It's certainly no AUR, but for people who want a very middle-of-the-road experience, where the OS gets out of your way so you can get things done, it's a decent balance.

I have not experienced the version upgrade experience in Elementary for a while, but in Mint I have had better experiences with version upgrades than with any other non-rolling desktop distro. Reliable version upgrades are an under-appreciated aspect by longtime Linux nerds (myself included) who think nothing of a quick backup and re-install because of segmented /home partitions, have self-hosted backup systems, or other such advanced configurations. It is the main reason I don't recommend the non-LTS Ubuntu desktops, because of the number of times I have seen the upgrade go awry for less savvy users, e.g. from 17.04 to 17.10.

As a final note, the only reason I don't recommend Pop! or Ubuntu itself, is how unfamiliar the GNOME interface metaphors tend to feel to newbies. I realize other people completely disagree with this approach when recommending Linux distros.
No, that's not quite right. There are things you can do safely in x86's memory model that are not portable to ARM. But they are completely well specified if your target is x86. I.e., the hypothetical QA team that buys ARM hardware may only expose portability issues rather than bugs.
I have always absolutely hated this diagram and think it should go away. I have also never seen somebody who understands the content of the diagram share it as a useful pedagogical tool.

For example, with CNNs, you are building up feature activation volumes based on the entire previous layer. The edges between layer N only connects to two nodes in layer N-1. What are the nodes even supposed to represent? This is not how CNNs works. This explains nothing and is actually just confusing.

This entire diagram should be re written using the block diagrams from the actual papers.
hard work = prosperity, I don't think I have ever seen or heard that without further advice or instruction. Hard work is only one component toward advancement. You have to have a plan to advance and make good choices as well.
ARM definitely doesn't win on single thread performance, so this is even worse for ARM. No?
Guess I'll be one of the few to speak up and admit, I just don't get it. I'm sure I'll be downvoted for it by a dozen people smarter than me who resent my ignorance.

The prose seems to resemble something dark and beautiful and meaningful. But if it's meaningful it's lost on me, for the most part. And dark and beautiful and meaningless is honestly a bit torturous. Like trying to stare at a Pollock and understand something.

And the bytecode just couldn't be more boring to me. Why is bytecode for this mundane algorithm interesting?

Someone could do us second class citizens (who I have no doubt are orders of magnitude more numerous than those who privileged few who get it) a favor by producing us with a line-by-line analysis. But I guess that would ruin the feeling of privilege.
Terra, Cruise’s Data Processing Platform
I think what people are trying to justify is an a priori assumption that gene editing (or germline editing if they're a little less cautious) is special and distinct.

Gene editing is special and distinct, in the sense that the genome is a complex and nonlinear system, where small errors can be amplified into large consequences, not only local, biological consequences but social as well. In cases where technology offers such potentially extreme leverage, it is scientifically justifiable to tread cautiously to avoid great harm.
China demonstrates that it is willing to cross moral boundaries (CRISPR, IP theft) and sacrifice the present to improve the future (Massive infrastructure paving over individual properties).

Western world shows exactly opposite trends - absolute refusal to make any sort of sacrifices (see: reaction to Carbon taxes, minority property owners blocking major infrastructure projects), prioritizing status quo at the cost of hurting future generations (see: Prop 13 in CA, highly cumbersome firing process in France), risk aversion (see: reaction to Nuclear energy proposals)

If China was not facing adverse population pyramid coupled with hostility to immigration, it would have had an easy way to global supremacy. Though Western world is trying very hard to erase that advantage by both producing fewer babies and raising barriers for immigration.

I used to be pretty skeptic about postman before. Now in my latest project is the common ground everyone uses to test the APIs. It has pretty good features, like pre-request scripts for authorization and also environment management. So far we have only used the free version but thinking of switching to paid version to have a teams account.
CPU_CYCLES counts cycles. This means that the time per cycle varies with frequency. If you're trying to see how many cycles something that fits in L1 takes, CPU_CYCLES is the right thing to measure.

> That's why we have separate bathrooms and locker room

I've never heard anyone claim this before, do you have any source or evidence to support this? Wouldn't that imply "family washrooms" or co-ed are hot-spots for rape? That seems like hyperbole.

The simplest reason would be for privacy between the sexes and keeping with a tradition of segregating washrooms that dates back to the Victorian Era. Before which, public bathrooms were male only, making things very difficult for women to be about in public. Thus the creation of female public washrooms was to allow them the same rights as men, not to prevent men from assaulting them in co-ed facilities.

We live in a world where kids die before they grow up. Gene editing technologies will almost surely reduce the number of children who die before they grow up and lead to higher quality of life for everyone else.

I'm not necessarily for gene editing. I think it is probably a long-term certainty and a net good, but it makes me uneasy because it is one of the maybe-this-one-ends-humanity style technologies. That being said, the suffering that a gene edited baby and its parents go through is meaningful - we learn from it, we improve. At the moment if a baby is born with random congenital problems there is similar suffering and it is completely pointless; we don't really learn anything or change anything.

When both paths lead through suffering, anyone who knowingly chooses the path of greater long term suffering is a monster. Even if they want to claim they are acting for some sort of moral reason. We can't get hung up if a few children die when dealing with technologies of this consequence. There are just more important issues to work through.
No, AMP provides space on a top carousel of results.
Nobody in this thread suggested it would absolve negative consequences or provide political cover if a project fails.

It gives someone the political cover to make changes beyond their typical power that they knew were necessary.

Many large organizations are compartmentalized into divisions that act almost as independent sub-organizations. In these organizations, someone might have plenty of clout/budget/authority to bring in a consultant in their division, but not enough clout to convince a cross-divisional decision maker without some help.

For example: The President of MegaCorp North America thinks the Director of MegaCorp Widget Sales is whiny and asks for too many budget increases without a plan to the President's standard. Meanwhile, the reality is that everyone in MegaCorp Widget Sales knows they need this new piece of software. So, the Director of MegaCorp Widget Sales uses $100,000 of his existing budget to bring in some consultants to do a strategy plan for phase 1. Those consultants write up the same things that the Director and his employees have been asking for, but they put it in a shiny proposal with plenty of buzzwords. This satisfies the President sufficiently enough to award the budget increase for the phase 2 implementation project.

Sure, but all-things-being-equal -- whatever that means in this scenario -- how long would it take an fictional Elon Musk to get to where the actual Elon Musk is today? Where would you see government propping him up in the process? The only reason government got us to the point it did in space exploration is because, for a brief-brief-brief period of time Elon Musk types were running the government. Now it is sycophantic cronies. It seems like having captial directed towards enlightened visionaries/beneficent dictators is preferable.

> My mother has worked at the same minimum-wage food joint for almost eight years. She tells me it's because she's "comfortable" and friends with everyone there. Personally, I think it affords her the time and lack of responsibility needed in order to engage in non-moderated drug use. This was certainly the reason she was usually unemployed and unable to provide the most basic resources for me as a child.

Some EVs just heat their battery, which limits the loss of range. The power for heating can be automatically drawn from the charging station in the early morning. Some EVs also start heating the cabin when you schedule it and they are plugged in (eg Ioniq).
EVs can also start and go without any problems in conditions where gas cars give up (-20 celcius).
In my analogy, God (if used a meaningful term with all the cultural baggage that it carries) maps much more closely to John Horton Conway than to either the universe or the PC. I'm not asserting that Conway does or doesn't exist, merely that a Game of Life does not necessarily imply a Conway.
We'll still need adults to raise this next generation. So, if we realize we swung the pendulum too far towards uniformity, it'll take 16+ years for the next "diverse" generation to mature and become self-sufficient.

Unfortunately, diseases typically run their course much faster than that meaning it would be possible for a disease to devastate a genetically homogenous population before they can raise the next generation and maintain population levels.

Actually, most fortunes go to zero within a few generations. The “1% squared”—the top 0.01%—is not a monolithic group of people. I’d wager that 90% of the 0.01% had grandparents who were not even part of the 1%.

I just finished studying Multimedia design at KEA (Copenhagen School of Design and Technology), and I was surprised how popular sticky headers were among the teachers. Some even arguing they improved the browsing experience. Clearly they could not be more wrong.

I think part of the issue is, educationally, people gets told that sticky headers and huge font-size or white space is good design. In reality, they are just chasing away people from their websites.
