how would you prove the inverse of this? i.e cambridge analytics didn't have any material impact.

I think most are basing it on the assumption that CA with the help of Facebook could target millions of americans in a personalized way and display ads that would nudge them to a certain political candidate.

No way to say it's a guaranteed method, but it's as effective as bill board marketers proving their ads change people's opinions about a brand.

That's where most of the presential election fund raises go to anyway right? to reach out to people and sway their opinion?
Restrict public access to a beach on a property I never visit (and continue to fight about it). I'm not OP but I can assure you I wouldn't do that.
What do you mean? There's lots of evidence that the expansion of the universe is accelerating and that's the whole reason we believe that dark energy exists. Most cosmologists do believe we're heading for a big rip.
Do you honestly believe Keynes' point with this pithy aphorism was that short-term plans are always superior to long-term plans? The fuller quote is "But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task, if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us, that when the storm is long past, the ocean is flat again.". He was pushing back on the use of a theory of long-term economic equilibrium in predicting day-to-day conditions, not expressing a preference to screw one's grandchildren over for present gains.
In the PNW, mowing your lawn is a serious logistics problem because mowing wet grass is a titanic pain in the ass, and the grass is pretty much wet for half of the year. I'm kinda surprised there's as much grass as we have.

Most other yardwork activities can be done in the damp, or even in the rain (hello REI/Patagonia). Gardeners will tell you never to dig in wet soil, but the clay content in coastal soils is so low in many areas that it's a non-issue.
The core architecture is totally irrelevant. They took the previous generation core, improved the process, made various tweaks, ran it at a different clock speed and within a different thermal and TDP envelope, and everything else that entails. Laptops have different requirements that need to be considered. Taking a mature part they understand well gives them room and understanding to make necessary tweaks.

The reality is those changes take time, it's not like they took a Ryzen 3700X, dropped it onto a smaller package and called it a day. If that were the case I'd imagine they'd have released it alongside...
I read a 2002 book that basically said “You’ll need to adjust your expectations of future equities growth. It’ll be more like 3% annually, not 7%”.

I was concerned.

Since that book was published, equities have gone up on average 6.6%, which includes the 2008 crash.

`unsafe` before a block simply means "the following code has been manually checked for memory safety, because the compiler is unable to automatically do so". Before a function it means "this can only be called from an unsafe block, because the compiler cannot enforce the preconditions it requires to ensure memory safety". What alternative term would make you feel less bad?

I've kind of achieved this for my Instagram feed. I simply "mute" anyone I don't care to see again. My account still follows them, so they are none the wiser. I think most social networks provide a similar "publicly follow but mute" feature.

It takes some time to mute everyone I want muted, but it only took a couple days to mute the more post-happy folks. I discovered that most of my network hardly post.

Instagram is so much more enjoyable now. 2 minutes a day, rarely more.
Thanks. Good to know, we may re-visit things. Elastic itself is a pain to manage, and with data growth we're re-examining what we get from it. For time series data, there is an element of "why?" about it: PostGres as a time series JSON blob store, might work better for us. The sharding by time is easy to understand and it has more affinity to the underlying host OS. Elastic, you have to understand a LOT of moving parts to make it work well (or be a Kubernetes expert, or pay somebody else) -if you already have an investment in PG then its possibly better use of your time.

But its good to know the interface got some eyeballs. I retract the accusation of abandonware.
Good. Most kids' content on Youtube is nothing more than long infomercials for products anyway. If that section (and the political sections) of the site could be rolled into a ball and launched into the sun, the world would be a better place.

If you've run a business you'd know that the hours demanded by a boss are far less than those required to be successful as an enterprise owner. I've been in both worlds and it isn't easier because you own the business.

It's all work at the end of the day and it is not easy. It's hard but we get to choose the direction our life takes while weighing the costs, benefits and risks involved.
They all want to get to the point of being Tesla. Hiding features only in software, pushing out updates, and trying to bake in a living (recurring revenue) model.

It's a problem for a lot of reasons. First off it's the complete death of ownership. I can't fix things. At some point they will probably just lock stuff back down if I want to sell, assuming I can even sell without them getting a cut.

Second, repairability takes a nosedive. It's no longer a tough but simple piece of machinery that I can maintain indefinitely with some mostly fairly easy to teach skills. I'm an amateur, but I know enough about how cars work that I'm willing to try and fix most issues, up to the point of needing specialized tooling. Instead it's a world of more expensive parts, DRM, and things that just won't work without a dealer authorized repair.

Then we get to the part where I come off an old fuddy duddy. I don't want a car where someone can push safety critical changes the way we push shitty software updates now. I don't trust them to get it right. I don't want to be sold a car that tries to kill me after a mandatory software update. It's not needed, and it's a bad idea.
The suspicious thing is YouTube tries to detect children's content, not users who are children… so this means YouTube is doing ad targeting on what it believes to be children so long as they're not watching “children's content”? Or such is the impression I got from this excellent essay about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuScIN4emyo

I think you are muddling some things... There are Ryzen processors in the 2000, 3000, and 4000 series that use the tech from the prior generation.

The 3200g for example, is a Zen+ (12nm) processor in the 3000 series...

----

There are also Zen2 processors in the 3000 series. The processors you are referring to are Zen2 (7nm) processors that are in the 4000 series, that will land ahead of Zen3 (7nm+) later in the year... the article doesn't clearly explain this.
Whoever answers the phone is likely not going to know or care about how the business advertises.

Like seriously, do you expect an employee to go "oh I don't know of any signs we advertise on, so I guess we can't buy your house"? Even if they know for a fact that the company doesn't have any sign-based advertising they're still not going to turn away the customer.
Yeah 50% more is still high but not as bad as 400+%.

If you look into speedruns you'll see that pipe behavior is very strange. One of the top speedruns involves pushing Mario into blocks in order to move the camera by something like 10 px, so that when you go down a certain pipe it goes to the warp zone instead of the bonus area.

Might be worth watching some videos about that speedrun and trying to trace what's going on in the code to allow that. It might get you closer to understanding your own pipe issue.

Unfortunately I don't have a link offhand, but search something like `perfect mario speedrun` and you'll probably find it.

You are exactly backwards in this statement. Vinod keeps winning and then he keeps getting sued again (by a different party or under a different theory).
The Facebook algorithm optimizes for Facebook's preferences, not yours as an advertiser. If your goal is to scare people then click-through is no longer your KPI, for example. I think you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the huge potential potential advantage, particularly when it comes to fear-based political advertising, of backing out psychological profiles of people to refine targeting.

This issues is about proletarian labor (rented by a capitalist in an employment relation) not petit bourgeois labor (applied to one’s own capital in an independent business.)

Bingo!
Also most American companies get revenues from global growth. So, comparing it to US GDP is meaningless
I did comment that this may be in reference to the latest bushfires, but thinking about it, our coal industry specifically did not contribute the primary driving force behind them. That may be more incumbent on the global aspect of climate change.

So I suppose you're referring to the more direct aspects which have affected people and wildlife over the many years, rather than the elephant in the room.

For inexplicable reasons, ucontext/setjmp/longjmp include signal masks, which, for lack of VDSO implementation, must be obtained by invoking syscalls.

(FreeBSD provides the non-portable _setjmp/_longjmp, which do not preserve signal mask state and avoid the syscall. There are also the POSIX sigsetjmp/siglongjmp, which with savesigs=0 may bypass the syscalls as well. Both FreeBSD and Linux provide the POSIX routines.)
Do you know anywhere that does this really well in practice? My concern is that it would end up similar to the internal feedback problem where people feel like they submit requests into a queue that never gets worked on. I feel like I know how to solve that problem when there’s a small number of internal stakeholders I can go over and talk to, I’m not sure how one does it at scale with users
While this is good, am I missing something or is there no incentive for bad actor content creators to actually mark their content as for kids now? I’m under the impression that the recommendation algorithm would probably still point kids to a lot of the creepy garbage on there now.
Some of these salaries are hilarious. I work in a small city in the Southeast at about 250k cash comp and feel blessed because of it. Leave it to HN to make me feel that tinge of envy. The weird thing is, I never get jealous/envious of someone my age making 1 million. 2 million. Or hitting the jackpot and selling their company for hundreds of millions. Doesn’t give me one iota of “wish I had that”, but the 400k starting salaries really make me wonder if I should be starting the job search again and uplifting the family out of the Southeast lol. I wonder if it’s because I can envision myself working for those companies and actually making it (versus founding a company and making millions). The mind is an interesting thing. I am very grateful to be making what I do, and even more grateful that people who practice my trade (in some form or fashion) are getting paid well for it!
The terms and tech do get muddied... that said, these are 3-5 year processes to get a new line released.

The 4000 series g and u cpu's should do quite well against current Intel options though.

Some of the features that get disabled for "children's content" are a bit surprising:

I guess it's hard to do these in a way that is compliant with the privacy rules, or they're worried that kids will donate $1000 to their favorite Youtuber with Mom and Dad's credit card? It will be interesting to see how good their machine learning is at identifying "kid's content". From reading the FTC page, the delineation seems a bit arbitrary. I suppose we'll see if there's a financial impact on Youtubers that are borderline (is someone playing a video game considered children's content? What if the videogame is rated M? Will the tiebreaker be statistics about their actual viewers?)

Bing Maps has a street view equivalent that covers most cities, at least in the US somewhere close to a margin of error difference to Google in terms of cities covered.

In fewer cities and increasingly hard to find in the interface (because a lot of it is growing out of date, and it is in general more rare than Street View), Bing Maps also has a really cool best of both worlds "Bird's Eye view" taken from helicopters in daylight at a particular distance and an isometric-esque angle chosen to provide a strong amount of detail. I've found that be extremely useful for picking up a neighborhood-worth of landmarks in a glance for navigating a space by foot or car. It really is a shame Microsoft/Bing stopped advertising it so heavily as a competitive advantage and have let its prominence in the UI disappear to the point where finding it is a labyrinthine task, but unlike the mythical minotaur, I know it still exists (for now).

I don't know what to do about YouTube. I keep hoping that they've made the non-Premium experience so bad that enough of the people I follow might move to better platforms, but so far network effects win again.

I've seen at least one person claim to solve the deer problem by building a covered chicken run around the outside of the property. Deer get discouraged by the depth of the fence moreso than the height. Presumably the cover saves them from raptors.

Probably works better in a square lot than a rectangular one.
Usually, but not necessarily.

Back when I worked at a grocery store, if a customer paid with EBT, we just pressed the EBT button and the register would charge only the food total to the card and then ask for more money. If they paid with a credit card, we just pressed the credit card button and then swiped the card and the balance of the transaction would get charged.

What a lot of my fellow cashiers didn't know, because they were never explicitly told during training, is that they could specify the amount to charge to the credit card by typing the amount and then pressing the credit card button.

If a customer had a $20 Visa Gift card, but had a $30 purchase, and they tried to pay with the gift card, but the cashier only pressed the CC button without specifying to only charge $20, then the card would simply get declined with no message about how much was remaining on the card. And due to lack of training, even if the customer knew how much was on the card, the cashier might not know how to only charge the $20.
I wonder what the emissions from a methane powered suborbital BFR is compared with a 16 hour flight, especially if that methane was generated from CO2 extraction from the air using renewable sources of electricity.
I've come to the same conclusion. Never before in history have people truly optimize while thinking of themselves as a whole- the second something more convenient was offered, they took it immediately. I think that we're at a place in human history where we desperately need every person to step back from convenience in order to optimize for society.
Rebalancing means holding onto the same funds, but making sure your allocations are correct.

This is partly untrue.

PM Marin has proposed this idea as "utopia" in August 2019. When she presented this vision, she was not yet PM.

Additionally, she proposed 6 hour work-day OR 4 work-day week, not AND.

It is kind of weird that here in Finland this was "nice idea, but probably problematic to implement" when this was on the news in August. And now it pops out in not-so-respected news media like this.
fair enough, perhaps I should restrain myself from rebuttals in the future... but it was just too tempting
> While we're at it, I've read about this story before but had missed the detail that there was a parking lot, a store and toilets at the site built and maintained by the prior owner. How exactly is this not dedicating the road to public access? What tortured legal argument swindled the court here?

The reasoning is that it wasn't public access, but rather a private business operating on the land. A restaurant, while "Open to the public" is not the same as a truly "public" space (like a state-owned road, or a national park).
as i see, amd will still be more efficient in practice.
> The previous owners had been allowing public access, as is the (not) "ancient" standard and law.

In 2019, the California Court of Appeals rejected the notion that just because the previous owner allowed access, Khosla was required to allow access: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Court-ruling-on-.... The State this time is trying only a variation on that same argument.

> And Khosla's best argument is the property deed is based on Mexican land grants prior to California being ratified as a state?!? I'm sure he had precisely zero idea of that, and the fact that his lawyers are using that as an argument shows just how grasping it is.

Not only is it not grasping, the California Court of Appeals decided that issue in Khosla's favor years ago: https://www.mercurynews.com/2013/10/24/vinod-khosla-wins-key... (describing trial court decision, which was later affirmed).

> The cases lost by the governments were also very careful in not trying to make some of the claims you say they do. They were very narrow in focus. Which is why California is still able to pursue this.

No. The previous cases, brought by Friends of Martins Beach, addressed the broad rule: is there a public trust easement over Khosla's property? The courts answered "no." Then they rejected the argument that there was a "public dedication" of the property. The State is now suing on the third-string argument: "implied public dedication."
I agree with this. The OP is demonstrating a level of conscientiousness, professionalism and self-agency that a lot of companies would like from their developers who only do what they are told to do. See: Theory X and Theory Y management (don't want to work vs. want to work).

However my only addition to what the poster above mentioned, is be wary of the perils of the consequences of continually updating dependencies as this can be a never-ending spiral. If your organisation lacks the labour to maintain projects properly, your efforts may well be more sensibly allocated towards the greenfields areas you are being asked to focus on.

Unintentional injuries is te the leading cause of death in US for people aged between 1 and 44 years.

They kill 170 thousands people on average, while alcohol related deaths are 88 thousands (including car accidents)

The first cause of death in US is heart disease, I bet you still eat bacon though...

Alcohol abuse is dangerous, alcohol per se is as dangerous as driving your car (probably less, there are over 2.2 milion people injured every year by crashes)

> I would believe that most of the time of a processor is dedicated to run userspace code, not OS code (regarding to the work that must be done). At the end of the day, the OS is "only" a scheduler to share hardware resources between unrelated tasks.

Yeah, that's true if the OS is well-written and has had continual and extensive performance work done. Passing 200 Gbit of network traffic in software with firewalling is non-trivial and the number of cycles you get per packet is pretty modest. These things do matter.
Very cool! Does this work on mobile as well?

I don't drink and I really wish it were true, but just drinking (unless you're alcoholic) by itself doesn't make you "dumber". You probably are anecdotally associating idiots around you (who tend to drink like the morons they are) with causation.
