> Note that high temperature on the right side appears to be ignored by the OS. Plugging everything into the two right ports instead of the left raised the Right temperatures to over 100 degrees, without the fans coming on. No kernel_task either, but the machine becomes unusable from something throttling.

I feel like the top answer is missing the forest for the trees. If the temperature of the chassis rises past 100 degrees because a peripheral was plugged in, and degrades performance if all of the peripheral ports are in use... that's not a usable computer.

Edit: Ah, 100F is 37C, so that's not so bad.
This is not an area of expertise for me, so is there a reason to not offload vector processing to the GPU and devote the CPU silicon to what it's good at, which is scalar instructions?

So costco pays a small companies to sell their product and extract sales data.

Should amazon start paying small companies at the same margin that costco does?
In the end it's still a debt. The nominal value in USD may not be all that important, since the Fed can manipulate it more or less at will, but you're still borrowing productivity from the future—by consuming capital—and that debt will be repaid one way or another.

> The U.S. [...] is second only behind Italy in tests per capita

Where are you getting those numbers? I don't think that's correct. The Worldometer data may not be the best, but they have the US well down in the middle of the pack at ~13k tests/Mpop.

Lots of large developed nations have the US beat by quite a bit, in fact. And Iceland is literally a full order of magnitude higher!

In fact US testing policy has been largely a disaster. It's not the only disaster, but this is an area (large scale PCR laboratory work) where the US is supposed to be good at stuff. And yet there's been almost no attention paid to the problem at the highest levels of government.

The existing A-class chips don't have any coherent link like UPI or CCIX so it's impossible to connect multiple of them together. If we look at existing Intel/AMD-based laptops, they aren't based on multiple CPUs either; they have separate 4/6/8-core dies for different size laptops yet they still have reasonable economy of scale.
From the programmer's POV the API model is really more like Metal with a few bits and pieces "inspired by" Vulkan, but that doesn't even matter much for security considerations.

I don't think any of the existing implementations just "passes through" any "request" to the underlying 3D APIs (which is not just Vulkan btw) without taking it apart, looking at each piece to make sure it checks out, and then reassembling it. The security implications shouldn't be much different than WebGL (for better or worse of course).

The philosophy of the modern 3D-APIs like Metal, Vulkan and D3D12 of doing all costly configuration operations upfront instead of during rendering should help a lot to improve rendering performance compared to WebGL, where those security validations literally happen at random times during rendering.

I like the conspiracy theory about how the New Coke fiasco was actually deliberate subterfuge for switching the product from sugar to high fructose corn syrup. Corn-syrup coca-cola tastes different than Coca Kola's classic sugar formula, and allegedly people noticed the difference when the Coca-Cola company was doing tests, pre-New Coke.

My cousin-in-law only drinks "Mexican Coke" (but Mexicans drinking coca-cola in their country get HFCS-Coke too. Wikipedia says only mexican coca-kola produced for export is made with sugar).

Fortunately HFCS is no longer contaminated with mercury [0] [1] (or less contaminated?), thanks to the efforts of a whistleblower [2].

The last problem to deal with is how HFCS preparations might have more calories than listed on the label, on account of residual starch molecules that aren't split into glucose. Residual starch adds calories but don't affect the perceived sweetness.

I previously wrote about how the original soda products were herbal beverages: Coca-Cola is made with flavorings from the Coca leaf and the Kola nut, Root beer is made with roots, Dr. Pepper's 21 plant flavors, etc: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17979670

> How do we get rid of all this layer of inneficiency?

The world is replete with examples of how to deal with this problem, but I suspect the issue isn't with lack of better approaches, but rather, in the US, what you refer to as inefficiency in healthcare is the industry's profits (as in, returns to shareholders/capital, dividends, etc, not as much wages paid to doctors, nurses, etc).

Ironically, this has only become an issue of interest in recent years because it has started to cause economic stress to the middle class - i.e. many who post to this board - due to rising healthcare costs coupled with wage growth not keeping pace with life's major costs (housing, education, and of course, healthcare). Poorer segments of the population have been facing this situation for much longer, but they don't have the same voice.
A point that I have not seen mentioned while skimming through the comments is that the relationships between traditional retailers and their brands is one of buyer <> wholesaler (in simple terms, I understand there are complexities here) and that in itself is different from Amazon Marketplace (as compared to sold by Amazon.com).

> The question was and is rhetorical.

The fact that you ask a question not expecting a direct answer is not proof that a direct answer does not exist.

In my spare time, I'm a rock climber, and mistakes in my rope systems can kill me. The same is true in mycology, firearms, airplane piloting, civil engineering. If you really feel that you can only learn from your own mistakes then I guess it's lucky for you that you've chosen to learn in a field where the stakes aren't life and death.

That's true. The same is not true for the many Gophers who repeatedly claim that Go has a strong type system, which is who that comment was directed at.
At this point only you know why it didn't work out. We don't yet know what approach you took and

(Many) years ago I knew someone who was very happy running their business off Gentoo. "It took two weeks to "make world" with the ultimate optimization settings. "But it runs great!"

I never could bring myself to ask if they were ok with being down for 2 weeks if they needed to re-install. Say, in a case where they had an intrusion and didn't trust their backups...
Color me deeply skeptical. All the data we see out of "real" hotspots like New York seem to show a fairly clear progression on infection rate, days-to-show-symptoms, days-to-go-south, and days-to-die. If ConFlu was Covid, we would have seen a much more clear connection and growth. I would expect for Nevada to have been in a New York scenario.
> I'm disappointed by your false equivalence between being told to stay home and safe and being made into a guinea pig.

This is the false equivalence. How long does one have to stay home in order to be "safe"? If things calm down now, will they be worse in the winter? Will we still have to be "safe"? How do the consequences of curve flattening strategies that look more like half-hearted eradication attempts be compared to approaches that look literally like curve flattening?

Noone knows these answers.

Not really the email client of your choice. In Mac OS, you can do Apple Mail and Thunderbird well, but if you try something like Airmail, it crashes the app (or other unexpected behavior). Not exactly 100% IMAP compliant for what I can tell.

Browsers should be run in a VM, via a fake GPU which is mapped to a window ( possibly root window ) of a main desktop. Giving code fetched from the internet in real time full access to hardware, especially complex hardware, is lunacy. I'm shocked that neither Google nor Mozilla still have internalized this lesson.
I hate to say it, but I don't use workspaces. I use a number of window management keyboard shortcuts in place of it.

Any Noctua brand fan will stun you with its silence. I installed four 20mm fans in a network switch to replace its screaming loud factory fans. They're all running ~1200RPM and it now sounds like a small desk fan. A larger format fan running at a few hundred RPM will likely add very little to the ambient noise around you.
> In other words, move_uploaded_file() protects against moving a non-uploaded file or moving one more than once.

Sure.

> So it's for an upload processing code that, at some point, is becoming unsure of what the heck it is doing.

How do you get to this conclusion from the above?

> It is a band-aid.

Nope. Uploaded file checking would seem to be necessary, though rather than requiring the developer to implement it, there's some lang-sec value in php doing the check automatically with any $_FILES references and instead allowing the developer to suppress it. That's an area where implementation can be refined, but it doesn't make the current solution a band-aid by any stretch.

Edit: as an example, I'd much rather see the example given in php docs actually implemented as part of the framework rather than delegated to the developer. But aside from just dumping all uploaded files in one quarantined location, this solution is a functional pattern. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-uploaded-file.php

(I'm not a php dev, and docs on the relevant functions date back to 2003, so for all I know, this has been rectified in the intervening 17 years)

I've found that when I ask others what mistakes I should avoid, they tend to answer the question.

Another way to discover any mistakes is to ask people why they didn't do certain things which you think are good ideas. Often that reveals that they did do that, and it turned out poorly.
No. I was just responding to what I think is an excess of cynicism toward an unknown individual.
Oculus' foray into AR
Yes, but wasn't gold still pegged to the dollar in 1968? That means that the comparison is artificial, because none of the inflation from 1935 (or whenever the price was set to $35/oz) to 1968 has been allowed to show up in the gold price.

Richstokes/cheekymonkey: Literally a Chaos Monkey for your Kubernetes clusters
Hopefully people realize it's an Ubuntu problem, and not a general Linux problem.

I pin my Debian machines to the "Testing" branch and "apt-get dist-upgrade" once a month, and I've never had a problem, except once or twice when NVIDIA drivers needed to be re-installed. It's worked great for me for 15 years, but YMMV.

The CPU/memory usage almost certainly has more to do with the software being used than with the distro. The Linux kernel and GNU system utilities can run on very low resource machines, but most "desktop environments," like GNOME, KDE, and even XFCE, are targeting up to date systems. IME, using old hardware usually means putting in some effort to find and configure software that will run well on it - I'm pretty sure it's the same on any OS.

>The drugs/treatment you mentioned where all developped thanks to public contributions, not purely private research.

There's no such thing as a new drug that reaches the market without massive investment from private companies to do things like pay for FDA certifications, drug trials, etc. These are different categories of activities besides research. I don't think we're in conflict here.

>What is the point to discover insuline if the price asked for a shot makes it impossible for some people to buy it ?

What is the point to avoid discovering ways to create insulin altogether just because some people might not be able to afford it while the patent is active? What are the regulatory hurdles preventing generics?

>Hip replacement won't suddenly or magically become cheaper in 5 years.

Regulatory capture by medical unions is a separate topic.

>I propose to contain the cost so that all who need can afford it. The net result could be the same.

The net result is NOT the same if the new treatment is never created in the first place. That's the whole point.

>Price controls, like other types of controls, are a necessary evil in lots of case.

Again, this whole thread is about making sure we acknowledge the "evil" part, which is long term increase in death and suffering but short term reduction in death and suffering. After that, you can decide on your own whether or not things are "necessary."
Why the Google/Apple API won't work for tracing contacts – a product perspective
That's really cool. Would definitely switch to this for hobby projects like my A/B testing backend[0].

The thing is, however, as someone else touched on, the pricing of Redis Labs is still reasonable, and despite feeling outdated, it's also stable and a safer bet... So I don't really know how many organizations are willing to trade cost-saving/coolness for higher risk, at least when it's still new and not well established.

How do you plan to address this type of concerns?

My understanding is that this was, long-term, very good for Coke. Check out this line:

"
On 11 July 1985, once the extent of the soda brand’s mistake had become evident, Coca-Cola relaunched the original recipe, rebranded as Coca-Cola Classic.

According to the beverage corporation, the news of the drink’s long-awaited return “made the front page of virtually every major newspaper”.
"

Talk about free advertising!!

From a biased source:
https://www.coca-colacompany.com/news/the-story-of-one-of-th...

"The events of 1985 changed forever the dynamics of the soft-drink industry and the success of The Coca-Cola Company, as the Coca-Cola brand soared to new heights and consumers continued to remember the love they have for Coca-Cola.

This is the reason I switched over to Arch Linux. I have never been able to upgrade an Ubuntu system without some kind of obscure breakage without a documented fix. I've never encountered this problem with Arch, and archlinux.org both has great documentation and does a great job of alerting users when package upgrades require manual intervention.

Arch is like the CI/CD analogue of operating systems. Small upgrades makes breakages much less common, and much easier to repair. This comes as a trade-off of less battle-tested stability than e.g. Debian, but if you're able to make small repairs proficiently then Arch is the way to go. I'd strongly recommend Arch on a personal computer - it makes a good OS for a pet (although Debian, because versioned releases are much more thoroughly tested, makes for much better cattle OS).
I don't even know what to say about the naivete of our officials.

In the US, if the person tested positive, it is classified as covid19 death.

Also it seems that 98% of covid19 deaths have at least one comorbidity, 75% at least two. So I would expect that in many cases the virus may have just accelerated something that would have happened within a few months anyway. So you kind of need to look at how the full year death rate evolved to have an idea of the net impact of the virus.
The HN title is both the title in the URL and the HTML title, so it's likely that the title on the site is new.

I wish discussions of networth at these scales were more nuanced. If the stock of your company goes up 50% or whatever, but you can't exactly sell more than x% without tanking it or losing control of the company, it's just so much more complex than you're 50% richer.

This is not to discount that they're filthy rich, and certainly enough of it is liquid for them to buy in essence anything they want. So much discussion about billionaires in the press seems to discuss stock fluctuations as if they were cash injections directly into a bank account, which can't hold at those scales.

How much could Bezos actually liquidate tomorrow without losing control or tanking Amazon? That would be an interesting number. I don't have a clue

yes, there's tension between transparency for businesses and privacy for individuals (which is the stance i support). on one hand, you want transparency to elucidate crime and even neglect and aggression. on the other, the people behind companies have the right to privacy as well, lest those people be unfairly attacked (e.g., planned parenthood workers). the best tradeoff is not obvious here.

100% percent agreement. Specifically, as its own course. How this is not part of every democracy's required curriculum for at least 2 years (class in 5-8 grade range + class in 9-12 grade range) is mind-boggling.

Don't give me crap about "there's no objective critical thinking" or "such a class would be impossible."

I see a 30% drop in the Dow in the last two months. I see a very real reduction in asset prices, here in concrete reality.
