I don't know if it would be possible to provide to everyone in society who wants it, but a path towards at least making it more available might look like:

Invest in public transportation (and potentially restrict private transportation in city centers) so that we can expand how far out someone can live and still have a reasonable commute.

Where appropriate, allow people to work from home so that commute is less of an issue.

Build more and in some cases higher density affordable housing so that more people are able to live in desirable areas.

Invest in infrastructure (both practical infrastructure such as high speed internet and "aesthetic" infrastructure such as parks and public works of art) in order to make more places desirable.

Your linked post is not about faking PGP, it is about replacing PGP with his own implementation which supports only a subset of the PGP standard, the subset necessary to properly sign git commits.
That would be my intuition too. But if you go down almost any "this crisis won't cause inflation because..." rabbit hole on hacker news, you should see multiple unopposed claims that defaults lead to deflation through the destruction of money.

I'm pretty ignorant in this field, and usually I've been a day or so behind the posts (missing the window to press for more information), but I feel like there's definitely some contention there.

I think by reversing the meaning of the word hoaxer he can maintain the same rhetoric from his 2016 election to secure his next presidency while making 180 degree turn on what he is actually selling.

Do Apple and NVIDIA have good support for OpenCL ?

EDIT: From the same article, further below:

> Apple has deprecated OpenCL

> AMD’s OpenCL drivers are a mess,

> NVIDIA’s interest is tempered by the fact that they already have their very successful CUDA API,
I definitely agree, I just chose cosmopolitan cities because they are both one of the most commonly preferred places to live right now and one of the most expensive.
We only live once! Respect yourself and your feelings! Don't waste your energy listening to opinions of how you are supposed to feel, they are not you! People love to throw the buzz word around as if coding is the best thing ever...! The end users don't care! Employeers don't care! The people you create this things for don't care about how you feel! Find something that makes you happy and has a meaning in yours and other people's life! Beware that a lot of the people that tells you to take a break and that you're just tired, are not that sympathetic when you'd try to get back to the job market, where they'd ask you to go through 5 stage interviews and totally waste your time for no other reason then their own bullshit job. Be careful!

If you do want to try later on and do something related with tech, not necessarily as a coder, have in mind the bizarre startup world! A lot of people get funding for simple business ideas! So try to live a fulfilling life and if you ever want to comeback do your own business and create a nice work environment for your team!
Show HN: Indie Game – Make your friend guess movies using only 3 emojis
Think of it like a wedge. 10 pounds force on the back of a wedge can easily cause 100 pounds force perpendicular to it.

But there is a tradeoff between force and displacement. Larger force = smaller displacement.

Same with a wing. The thrust force is lower than the lift force, but the horizontal displacement (velocity) of the wing is much greater than the vertical displacement (velocity) of the deflected air.

i.e. small force x large velocity = large force x small velocity
Not 100% equivalent, but from what I’ve heard, this can be an issue when using full frame lenses on a crop sensor DSLR. The sensor gets everything from a smaller part of the lens, so defects that don’t show on a 35mm equivalent sensor can show at APS-C.

It is talking about things like efail.
He's talking about giving their public key, not the private key that has to remain on the user's device(s) under all circumstances.
Over the weekend I dipped my toes into the GPU compute waters a bit, tried to get to grips with the massive tangle of competing and co-operating technologies, and tentatively concluded that OpenCL was probably as good a place as any to start learning, in 2020.

Interested to hear opinions on whether that was a reasonable conclusion, and whether this makes a difference to it.
If that happens often you have the wrong repo split. This isn't a condemnation of the multi repo approach, only your architecture.

Note that this is about trade offs. If you have a monorepo this problem goes away but now you need to manage the problems of monorepos. If you have multiple repos you get this and other problems instead. Pick the right tradeoffs for your own needs. The only things wrong is claiming your answer is the right one for everyone else.

> It allows to make changes in one go instead of having 3-4 PRs that all have to be merged at same time or otherwise the build breaks.

Can't you solve this by pointing submodules in the parent repo to a specific commit SHA before the breaking change? Then update the pointer in parent repo when you've made the corresponding changes.

I understand it's still added work compared to a monorepo, but seems like this could be a controlled way to handle submodules when necessary.

America Inc, which dated, by I believe Mary Meeker has one view showing USA on a "GAAP" basis. It's not pretty. Leverage is too high. Profit margins are negative. "growth" (in this case government receipts) underperforms entitlement spend. Interest is some non-material portion of revenue such as 15% to 20% (caveat, even the most highly leveraged private equity bought companies don't spend more than 25% of revenue of amortization and interest, generally speaking).

A better but harder resource is I believe by Piketty (the inequality guy): from balance sheet recessions there's usually only a few ways out. He and his co-authors go through every single knkwn recession in every single country (obviously biased towards recent and Western). What I took away from it is that without population growth the US needs hyperinflation, to default on its debt, or to increase tax revenue's sharply and/or decrease entitlements sharpy. It's up to you to guess which one of those three is most likely.

But the budgetary situation is not tenable.
The government says that if you are party to a (genuine or false) transmission event, you will be contacted by phone, but you will not be told the name of the person who tested positive to the virus. So how will you know if the event is genuine or not? It could be your neighbour on the other side of a common wall, or a colleague who works in the office next to yours -- in either case, no transmission. Also, they say you may be "advised to self-isolate". This is disingenuous -- you are more likely to be ordered to self-isolate under penalty of fines or gaol time. No mention of that in the glossy "Utopia" style promotional video, just happy young models having coffee.

Tobacco gives an interesting case study on advertising.

In many developed nations all tobacco advertising and marketing is banned. I would argue that this is actually good for the tobacco companies: they save billions of dollars a year and no new competitor to them can emerge, as it would have no way of telling smokers it exists.

This example makes me think that advertising of mass market consumer goods is like nuclear weapons: if your competitors are doing it, you'd be too scared of losing market share not to do it too. But in aggregate, all that really happens is that consumer prices are higher, and the ad industry gets rich.

But actually, if none of the companies advertise, consumers still find what they need through retailers, word of mouth, or simply continuing to buy what they already buy.

While I don't dispute the overall conclusion that Seattle handled things better, it's important to remember that infection is not a simple linear process. 3x the passengers does not necessarily mean 3x the cases. It means ~3x the chance of superspreader events directly from passengers, plus a higher chance of such events happening indirectly, and those events tend to be multiplicative rather than additive. On the other hand, it increases the chance that some people will be exposed via multiple paths but counted at most once. So 20x the cases seems a bit high, but 3x would be remarkably low.
Mesa still hasn't implemented OpenCL 2.x ... now they don't have to.
Although applications like Folding@home don't really work with OpenCL as provided by Mesa, so it'll likely have to be updated to work with the 3.0 ~= 1.2 version.
This is quite useless compared to the old ones (it used to have a benchmark on each program and language and you could compare them)

There's also a concept of "capital deepening". Basically, while vague, when your monetary supply growth outpaces GDP, which is not hard to do with low single digit GDP growth you have more capital available for "one unit of GDP". Therefore asset prices go up.

At least for non private companies ...asset prices go up....auctions clear at values with maximum leverage...recession....monetary stimulus....repeat.

My best guess is that they really meant EFAIL but didn't want to actually mention it because EFAIL had nothing to do with any weakness in the OpenPGP standard or the GnuPG implementation. Instead it was a HTML email horror story where someone figured out how to forward entire decrypted messages using image links.

So just more pointless anti-PGP innuendo...
Armies are organizations build around aggression per definition and therefore _are_ the terrorist in outerspace. The good guys in space are found at civil presence such as the ISS. People from all nations and cultures working together in peace. A symbol of hope for humanity. Much unlike military organizations with boots on the ground.
Some of those issues are just properties of GPG and could be fixed by an alternative implementation, while others look inherent to the standard.

Apple has officially deprecated the use of OpenGL and OpenCL on it's hardware since MacOS 10.14 but maintains the implementations for continued use for now as they would like everyone to use their own Metal API. They are pinned at OpenGL 4.1 and OpenCL 1.2.

OpenGL and OpenCL are still very mich supports by Nvidia and other GPU manufacturers, dependent on the OS.

This is exactly one of the selling points of Mastodon: the medium mimics Twitter, but allows you to write long form content at will: the administrator decides what the limit is (500 by default on Mastodon, 5000 by default on Pleroma).

This medium provides the good sides of Twitter with the good sides of a federated system, where content discovery is still done organically through people. If experts want something as easy to use as Twitter _and_ have the possibility of having more space, I feel they should migrate to it. Or anything that uses ActivityPub really, like Write.as or Plume

There's also the whole indieweb movement, with micropub, microformats and stuff that anyone can play with, like with Micro.blog.

While I used Wikipedia a lot and appreciate the generic layout which makes things easier to find, it still is crowdsourced content creation that killed off many independent content sites that provided their own value.

The web lowered the barrier to entry and the Wikipedia editorial system somewhat raises it for anyone interested in creating something for the web.
I have two things that are not deployed together. However there is common algorithms between the two that I'd rather not copy and paste maintain.

This excellent blog series [0] goes in to a little more details on the Roman Conquest, in the specific context of many cultures glorifying the primitive other as being morally pure and more capable fighters. Genocide is the only word to use. I previously had no idea just how, erm, effective the Romans were.

> historical events that could've completely changed the course of history

The battle of Teutoburg Forest [1][2] is another one. Had the Roman general Varius not fallen in to Arminius ambush, things might have been vastly different. The Romans never again had a solid footing beyond the Rhine and the battle was used again and again to forge German identity.

> One thing he notes is that the closer someone is to someone, the harder it is for them to (psychologically) kill them.

This same effect is discussed extensively in the book On Killing [3] and similar conclusions can be drawn from the Milgram Experiment [4]. On Killing also mentions that stabbing weapons are psychologically harder to use than slashing weapons. It specifically mentions the Roman Gladius.

> I personally think the principle that you cannot be expected to work "all hours that are necessary" unless you're paid around twice the average salary is brilliant and gets rid of a lot of potential abuse of this rule.

You'd need to tweak the multiplier in different countries dependent on inequality.

The median salary in the UK is around 29K GBP. I wouldn't say that 58K (70K CHF) is a "should be expected to exist at all times" salary.
I'd distinguish popular usage and etymology. Terrorism is about terror. Mass murder is about a lot of murder. Mass murder can be not terroristic (a lot of people murdered, but population not terrified); terrorism can be not mass murderous (mass murder isn't the only way to instill terror); and, violence for a political purpose isn't always terrifying (or mass murderous, for the sake of completeness).

~5 years ago I burned myself badly by choosing OpenCL and AMD cards as a compute platform. I expected the OpenCL ecosystem to be at rough parity with the CUDA ecosystem in terms of features and performance. That couldn't have been further from the case. I wound up selling my cards, eating the spread + shipping + 10% ebay fees, and switching teams.

Just bite the bullet and pay the green tax. It's cheaper than your health and sanity.
Would it make sense to add support for more compute stuff to Vulkan instead and move towards only having one framework which supports both compute and graphics, or are the tasks different enough for it to not be worth it?
> At this point it is the alarmists arguing against evidence and actual data, now that we have some. It is rather amusing to behold.

You were also the one claiming US deaths will be under 60K per your imaginary CDC projections, but these are 56K right now and there are still 1K deaths per day.

And, no, 99% of deaths in Italy are not over 65. That's also imaginary.

So, your ability to make up data and then "reason" with it seems strong.
Bruce Schneier already posit that hack-a-thing challenge is not a good test or proof of whether a thing is vulnerable. Back in the days when everyone was coming out with hash and cipher algo there were bounties offered as PR of how strong thingX was. Not everyone is going to take up a challenge, if I were a real criminal I would discover the vulnerability (if any) and keep it to myself because the exploit, especially a secret one, is worth more than the bounty, and has a longer pay period.
It's a pretty bad place. Requires a lot of boilerplate, hard to use debugger, and has less features than CUDA.
I'm not sure if I understand what the value of a new OpenCL version is precisely. Is there anything you wouldn't get by just adding support for OpenCL programming language to SPIRV cross and executing kernels with Vulkan like any other compute shader?
