> That would've been called an antitrust abuse by any other company but it seems Apple gets a pass by its fans.

I dunno, I don't have an iPhone and don't plan on using Sign On with Apple, but I think it's still a good move that benefits consumers.

Who gets hurt? Companies that don't respect user privacy?
Well, I’ve got bad news for you, if you think NAT Gateways are required for “real security”, just wait until you enable IPv6 on AWS.....
If your own authentication is the only authentication. The moment you add one other authentication provider, you must add Apple's.
This is a guess, but I think “burglarize” is a back formation coming from “burglarization”, the state of having been burgled or an instance of same. “Burglarization” is, naively but grammatically, caused by someone or something that “burglarizes”.

It’s similar to “orientate“ instead of “orient”. An object or person has an “orientation” produced by someone or something that “orientates”. This in contrast to someone or something that “orients”.

It’s ugly English, for sure, but I believe it’s perfectly cromulent in grammatical terms.

Ah! It's not even trying to do word or syllable-level alignment. Well, that makes the problem considerably more error-tolerant. And they specifically call out ASR-based aligners as more accurate, so that makes me feel good about myself! Still, that's a cool project; thanks for pointing it out. I shall have to dig into it and see what they are actually doing.

Even with only line-level accuracy, that would've been nice to have 7 years ago... but I see the first commit to the project is only in 2015. Might still be useful to some of my old colleagues, though; I'll have to see if they've heard of it.
In the vein of working effectively with legacy code, "Reading Code" by Spinelli taught me a lot when I was a younger engineer https://www.amazon.com/Code-Reading-Open-Source-Perspective/...

We had that problem and hacked around it with the Dockerfile instructions below, if you find a better solution that would be great :)

--Dockerfile snippet--

# Cloud Run concurrency is assumed to be set to 10 but we don't assume that is exact

# Or just use Flask directly if concurrency is set to 1

This might be too much legalese and IANAL but they do have a majority market share in North America.
That said, I'm not suggesting this is an easy lawsuit but that it's obviously an abuse of power over the ecosystem. That is, when your product (Apple Sign in) does not take off by itself you simply force the market to adopt it.
The console already shows the five most recently used components when you log in.
This is legal/PR mumbo jumbo. Nowhere in that statement does AMD say they have patched this. instead, the make vague reference to previously-patched vulnerabilities that are NOT the vuln in question.

Also, they say they 'believe' it isn't new, and that word is used for a reason - it isn't legally binding. It is a lot different than saying "It isn't new."

Finally, the advice they give is akin to giving general advice for a Ford vehicle: "Change the oil every 3500 miles."

Generalized statements that mean nothing.

This looks to be an intentionally obfuscated response.
American Airlines pushed United out of JFK for competitive reasons. Scott Kirby, president of United, but formerly of American:

> You can probably personally blame me, at least to some degree, for the fact that United pulled out. When I was at American Airlines, we were consciously trying to push United out of JFK. That was our goal.

Once you give up those slots at an airport like JFK, good luck getting them back.
I have yet to touch OpenShift 4 - every environment that used OpenShift that I worked with professionally except for some testing runs was air-gapped to some extent from internet, something that is not supported on OpenShift 4, and which was treated as a crucial requirement by the customer deploying OpenShift.
An excellent write up of the crashed by a pilot: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-c... I highly recommend you read it. It‘s not to exonerate Boeing, but it does bring up issues that none else talked about.

Please stop spreading misinformation. Amazon paid $1.2B in taxes.[1] The net negative tax number was an estimate that doesn't capture their actual payments.

So that means Amazon didn’t spend any money on income taxes in 2018?
No. Even though Amazon’s “current provision” number for 2018 was negative for federal taxes, Amazon said it made income-tax payments totaling $1.2 billion during that year, more than from 2011 through 2016 combined.

Venture Capital in France - SGH Capital/Alexandre Azoulay (French Article)
The logo situation is basically an aftermath of a joke in the Chinese programmer circle: Somebody made a PornHub logo generator out of probably their own boredom, and others got "inspired" by it and say, "They, I can do that too with even crapper code", "They I can try out that Vue/React/[Insert whatever front-end buzz word here] on this quick 'side-project'".

After that, you end up with many of crappy logo generators posted on the Internet.

Few month later: "HELP!!! I'm building a new project and I needed a logo. But I don't know how to design one".

Then here you go.
1. Italy did a lot more testing

2. We only know about china's infection rate what china wants us to know. given that there is no free press there, anyone talking about coronavirus in china should take china-provided information with a grain of salt.

Chinese-American food, they had to Americanize it in order to sell to American people. That means more meat, less spices, and sugar added to make it taste better. Thai food is the same way, you can't have real Thai food unless you grew up in Bangkok eating it. American hot and Thai hot are not the same.

Why the hell isn't Google challenging these sweeping untargetted searches? This is akin to giving law enforcement all of our location data without reasonable suspicion.
<An immobilizer simply keeps the ecu from running the fuel pump>.

Wrong! Immobilizer is just a tiny part of the BCM (Body Control Module), to which the normal folks usually interact with and call it on-board computer. The truth is that you have CAN (Controlled Area Network), used by BCM and ECU to communicate through, at the very least. When you press the start button, ECU asks BCM "hey dude, can I start the car?", and BCM responds with "yes" or "no" based on various factors, one of them which is Immobilizer. Even with correct key fob and authenticated, if your door is opened it will not let you drive. Of course, all these varies from car maker to car maker. Some will let you start it but you can't drive for more then 3 meters, others won't even let you idle the engine. You have a crapload of sensors that are part of BCM (tire-guard, wipers, door ajar, belt, etc etc) all of which are taken in consideration to yield that "yes"/"no" response.

And that's just a small part of what BCM does. Also poor ECU, an entire computer on its own right, reducing him to running the fuel pump is like saying a house is to shelter you from bad weather.

Saying immobilizer simply keeps the ECU from running the fuel pump is like saying that all you need to create Witcher 3 game is Visual Studio.

<Also I can tell you on all current and last gen Ford and Mazda’s, the inter-car encryption and authentication has vastly improved. >

As per article, you can see for yourself this is not really true. My code that I've worked in those years (2005/2006) were to be deployed in 2007 Mazda RX-2 and 2008 Ford, so in regards to last gen (cca. 2010) I bet you're simply wrong again. I do hope latest gen has better encryption but I doubt, wanna know why? Because economics. Lemme tell you first hand experience. Managers care about economics and that means cheaper parts. Cheaper parts means less memory, less speed. The goal was always to have the BCM's CPU load between 70% and 90%. Did a smart code and you reduced the load bellow 70%? The higher-ups were jumping happily in the air because it meant a big fat bonus for them due to allowing them to stick a crappier chip on that PCB. That's what they care about, not strong encryption and elimination of theft. Also read about Ford/GM practices in 60's when they preferred to allocate about 200 millions USD/year for paying victims of accidents than have belts. Until they got regulated by law, they could not care less about lives.
Depends on if you held the equity or sold immediately. Seems like people sell as soon as they vest nowadays.
Yep, they are human beings forced by the government to hide the truth under the guise of “harmony” with the threat of much worse.

Also, you can criticize the Chinese government without having any issues with Chinese people. Learn the difference or life is going to be hard.
This is a very impressive story and equally impressive work! Keep it up!
> This isn’t a protection, it applied retroactively as well. Anyone who ever gave FB login AS AN OPTION is now required to create Sign In with Apple.

I don't think that's correct. Anyone who currently gives FB login as an option is required to support Sign On with Apple. If FB Login was previously an option, but was removed at some point, Sign On with Apple is not required.

What data do you think Apple has?
2 years younger than you and the author, and I too have had a front row seat to many of these developments : home computers in the 80s, the Internet from 1994, Linux from 1996, Google in 1999, blogging in the early 2000s, podcasts in 2005, Bitcoin in 2011...

On the positive side, my BS radar is well tuned, I'm pretty good at putting tech trends in perspective and identifying the ones that have a good chance to be game changers. This is useful wisdom in my career as an engineer.

But I haven't really managed so far to switch from being a spectator into acting decisively & quickly to convert those insights into something valuable : the ROHMO (regret of having missed out) gets heavier the more of these trains I've seen come and go !

Bitcoin is the obvious (and trivial) one : I read the Satoshi paper a few weeks after its release, spent a few evenings understanding blockchain, downloaded a miner.. but never bothered leaving it running for a few days, for fear my computers would run hot for something intellectually interesting but of questionable monetary value :)

Any of you old timers want to share how they have turned "having seen things" into a valuable career or entrepreunarial edge ?

To be fair, it seems to work just fine. I can choose from at least 5 carriers in my city for cell phones alone, multiple of which offer unlimited data now. That’s only cell phone spectrum.

For other spectrum, it’s easy enough to acquire spectrum that microwave ISPs are able to get into local markets with very limited capital. I graduated with 2 folks who started an ISP together and the spectrum was cheaper than the hardware to transmit on it at the time.
Airgapped is now available in 4.3 (although it has some rough edges that will be addressed in 4.4).
Hey thanks for the very useful reply.

Now that you mention, could you point to any reading resource for getting into the nitty gritty of the fixed hardware part of the GPU?

From my interactions with some folks, I'm under the impression that this stuff is kept proprietary and both nVidia and AMD don't reveal the details.

I'm just wondering if there are some general principles related to the fixed hardware aspect of the graphics pipeline of a GPU, that are compiled in a text or review paper or something.

Thanks in advance.
Don't most SV types believe they've picked themselves up by their own bootstrapped?
There's also some stuff about circadian rythms in there that makes no sense - the main point of the article that our genome has viral dna in it is true and really cool, the details of the article are kind of fantasy though. If you're interested in learning more probably better to do your own research or read through the wiki or something rather than sift through this article which, while an admirable attempt by a non-scientist to explore an interesting phenomenon, is not a very successful attempt.
Well as a sibling comment of yours pointed out, it’s basically the original YouTube logo (used for more than a decade with slight variations) which predates PornHub. I’m sure YouTube isn’t the originator either as it’s not really that creative.

That some people associate the style with adult content probably says more about themselves than the style.
Nodejs is single process, single thread and single core. Chrome used to run different tabs as threads of a process but that ended since Spectre and Meltdown. Back to single process since then.

async IO creates a thread servicing that IO request

Nope. The event is a single FIFO queue implemented with libuv. It differentiates between sync and async function and basically goes around the queue running synchronous functions to completion every time it find one and async ones for a set time before switching to next one.

I’ll second designing data intensive applications as one of the most interesting, readable, and relevant technical books I’ve ever read.

Working Effectively with Legacy Code was also impressive, I think I just read it too early before I was good enough to really understand and use it.

TDD is also worth reading (and it’s short) to get a sense of tests if like me, it’s something you’d never really done before when learning.

If you like soul of a new machine, you’d probably like Halt and Catch Fire on Netflix. I’d also recommend the Phoenix project and the dev ops handbook.

Code by Charles Petzold is one of my favorites to recommend, something every CS student should read.

I’ll have to check out the others on this list too.
I wonder when will apt will start supporting specifying packages per repository. It's not safe how any package could come from any repository by-default, unless annoying effort is spent manually pinning packages.

I legitimately don't know how people can code without using some emacs or vim commands. Even the simplest stuff like M-f/M-b or C-a/C-e are so ingrained in how I use a computer. Do people genuinely not use them? Do they just navigate with the mouse and arrow keys? I suppose there's alternatives like Cmd-<left> and Cmd-<right> or Alt-<left> and Alt-<right>.
Having used both, my experience is that I can make Ruby fast, while making Python fast starts with "let's stop using python in this code path" ...

They won’t be gobbled up if they aren’t offering a better service. Then that just clears the way for yet another competitor to come in and offer better service again until the large airline improves enough to make entering the market unprofitable.

Big companies buying small companies is good. It’s a reward for improving the market. Big companies preventing smaller companies from even starting via government regulation (i.e. regulatory capture) is what’s bad.

Giving it to the government is just skipping to the worst possible outcome. Nobody has any incentive to compete.

> Uh, there is glaring sunlight between Labor and liberal in Australia at a federal level. Look at their history of fiscal policy. Carbon tax, NBN, selling off public assets etc. It's rubbish to say they're not that different.

The "they're all the same" argument in Australia is a very common talking point you see on the ABC and "left-leaning" (actually corporatist) outlets like The Project. Folks who tune in are inundated with this crap.

The ABC's idea of balance is to feature the viewpoint of the Lib/Nats (to cover the right-wing) and the Greens (to cover the left-wing). Labor gets all of the criticism for "not being left enough" by the Greens and "being too far left" by the Lib/Nats. You even see the Murdoch papers making both arguments simultaneously.

> State level is where they are all the same.

Maybe, but I doubt a Labor NSW state government would've privatised the vast majority of WestConnex before construction began. Or engaged in outright corruption by giving discounted land to developers who then gave them kickbacks.

Does enough independent isp demand exist to aggregate the traffic to provide breakouts and satisfy Spectrum's 8 point term?

This reminds me of writing a bit to catch the BT SIN Supplier Information Notes ephemeral notices: BT and later OpenReach were required by law to advertise every sweetheart deal to all comers on this domain. This might take place for only long enough for the page to come and go from the google cache (which BT had some way of automating content exclusion from, the cache page link in search results leading to a 404 was a dirty little trick to claim the advertising and universal offering components of statutes, which didn't last long for a ruse because the entire uk industry seemed to automatically file in court to obtain even the simplest of provisions, I know we weren't alone) anyway that was how we discovered BT would lease twisted copper pairs from CPE to exchange and you could hop onto commercial backhaul from there, so we had 4 wire SHDSL modems either end and the tent was a enormous £495pq British pounds or about $3kpa for a symmetric 10Mb/s last mile to clec

Yep, Apple had trouble selling spots on iAd because the program had only very coarse targeting and shared almost no viewer info with advertisers. Apple wanted iAds to function more like newspaper ads than web ads.
No, you won't. See Table 1 in the paper, for 3 coin flips.

You get exactly 50%, as expected because the probabilities are independent.

But when you only look at streaks, you find that the 1s are clustered in the streaks! Thus, if you average across many sequences (aka games) and weight per-series instead of per-1, you underweight the successes that occur in sequences with longer streaks and more 1s, giving an average-of-averages that is less than 0.5.

Why the researchers insist on averaging across sequences, I don't know.
Evolution is driven by a lot of things. It's driven by viruses by definition since of a virus integrates and makes a mutation to the germline, then that's a change which is evolution. And obviously bdosease is a major selective pressure driving evolution. And so so starvation, radiation, chemical mutation, errors in copying, heat, cold, literally everything that impacts survival and procreation drives evolution.
