I ordered some boxed EPYC processors from an East Coast online shop who dropshipped OEM/tray processors from Ingram-Micro (a large US wholesaler of computer parts used by many small stores) thinking I wouldn't notice the difference. Either the store or the dropshipper substituted cheaper parts that don't have a warranty, so I turned around and sent them back. They can both finger-point to each other if anything goes wrong. Complete waste of time and credit card space.

In my view, a successful company should own as much of production, supply, distribution, sales, and support as close to the customer's last-mile as is pragmatic. For example, Moen (US market) plumbing fixture products seem to have excellent customer/tech support, documentation and parts dispatch. McMaster-Carr, a commercial parts and tools supplier, carries zillions of hard-to-find SKUs and dispatches them quickly. I can't see how outsourcing the most vital departments to the lowest bidder does anything but introduce potential risks for organizational self-immolation.
Your local McDonalds sure is paying for TV advertising, in two ways. One is through franchise fees for national advertising, and the second is through co-op advertising in a region where franchisee's pool their advertising dollars.

The only reason fast-food franchises are better commercial tenants is because they're usually better capitalized than bespoke restaurants. (McDonalds franchises also don't worry about rent since the parent corporation owns all the land).
I think there is far larger chance that RISC-V will fail to materialize than ARM will eventually support it.
90-96 is big enough. From the NES/Genesis/286 to the Pentium MMX and the multimedia PC playing MPEG videos and games like Quake. In some PC's you could even emulate the Genesis under DOS, and a year later, the NeoGeo fully, which was "the big thing" in the early 90's. A huge step in six years.

Yeah, precedent is correct. I mean to say in the context of case precedent, which is what many legal arguments are often based off of.
If the company is in tech and is big enough, they can manage a process like that. Most companies are not multinational tech companies.
I was at Sun around 2002 or so, when the writing was on the wall about SPARC perhaps not being the best long-term plan and various x86 projects starting.

I hope Apple learns from Sun's mistakes.

Also, somewhat related: does anyone remember Transmeta? They were about a decade too early but their ideas on low-power, low-heat x86-compatible mobile-friendly processors were pretty cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmeta

Well, since we are talking about processor suitability for laptops, why wouldn’t having the higher thermal limits of a laptop compared to the phone allow the ARM chip to go “full throttle”.
The terminals connected to my university's Burroughs 6700 mainframe in 1981 had a 8080 processor in them and there was an escape sequence that allowed you to type some hex code into the input buffer and run it. So of course I did Life. It was probably more than 32 bytes but not much larger as I was able to memorize the hex. It wasn't quite right since it used the updated values for half of the neighbors due to the lack of double buffering.
Here in the UK, there are bike thieves who will drive a van up to a bicycle park, load the van with as many bikes as they can get with some bolt cutters in a few minutes, then drive off. It would be surprising to see someone using a lock that allowed a bike to be carried away for this reason!

Of course it's mostly a problem at universities and train stations at night, where you can find big bike racks and no-one around. Lesser locks might be fine away from crime hotspots.
We are not talking about fallible human beings when news coverage follows the same patter of the companies massive political campaign contributions. When media companies give away millions in order to influence the political environment, they loose the plausible deniability of being a political neutral entity which just happened to create news that follows a specific political direction.

There exist study (I would guess multiple) on the media landscape and which news company leans where and how. Some media companies are explicitly leaning in one direction, others less so. Some claim neutrality, and the study do support the existence of a very small minority that seems to achieve it. It is a subject I would like to see a meta study on in order to get a good estimate on how small the narrow band are of news sources that supply political neutral news.

It is doable, but I do not believe existing java libraries not written well enough to perform great and consume less space.

I do believe in separating code between the fast and slow path. My goal is to bring open source, well optimized common libraries to VM world.

Platform can handle a simple http server with a NIC as of today but with custom apis.

Kotlin and groovy works for hello world, did not tried further as I am thinking of bringing those languages by eliminating Java ties. I am aware of Kotlin native but 200K for a hello world is not reasonable. I can fit in 21K for VM.

If you have killer app idea for this platform I can make it happen in a very short period of time.
The iOS version uses same WebKit any other browser uses, we built WebExtension support on top of it.

The value prop depends a lot on who you are and what you have. The massive selling point to many enterprises that own their own hardware is that they can run OpenShift on their metal, and augment with public clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure). If you use any of the vendor-specific augmentations (like ALB integration) you can't leave AWS and move to another cloud or your own hardware.

OpenShift also adds a lot of rich functionality above the standards K8s setup. It's essentially a bunch of operators that work really well together and add PaaS functionality onto K8s.
I can't imagine doing my 20KM commute over bike in -20°C (very common here in Edmonton,Alberta). It's sub-zero temperatures for easily 5 months of the year, with large amounts of snow. Even to the nearest train station would be quite an adventure in -20 with snow drifts.

If your content isn't particularly controversial and you care more about the business and product side of things rather than boring engineering then just go with Cloudflare Stream (or similar products like Mux or Bitmovin, plenty of choices out there). For real-time, WebRTC is quite popular (and there are also infrastructure providers like Daily.co). The engineering of video streaming is not particularly fun or interesting. You will be operating at a low-level with respect to both networking and video codecs. Focus on your product, you can roll something custom when you have revenue. Video compression algorithms advances are powered by the lost hopes and dreams of CS PhD students. Do not waste your time on it if you have a product to sell and a business to run.

Having worked at an OEM and in automotive I can tell that what you’re saying is simply not true.

Where would they get the money? From cutting out the middleman, from increasing sales by offering an alternative to the terrible dealership experience (spending 1-2 hours buying a car is not ok) and from gaining the flexibility to offer alternative business models (i.e. subscription models).

Dealerships are the past. They may very well be the deadweight that will cause incumbent OEMs to sink rather than swim.
Personally I am no bot (an neither someone living in that country), but I am honestly tired of how methodically wrong the criticism are toward that person. It is as if a chuck of the world (as in this case, just like I am doing now, this particular country politics is often in international news) decided that only ever building strawmen was enough.

it is just so tiring to see your own tribe, my tribe, have standard so low in term of what constitute a valid criticism.
Lease length also factors into this a bit. In NYC, for example, a lot of restaurant leases are 10 years long with an option to renew for another 5 at a new rate at the end. Each year, the rent increases by a percentage (3ish is common).

For a 30% increase, locked in for at least 10 years (assuming the restaurant survives), landlords are willing to let a property sit vacant for a while.

>This is a very odd way of responding. When someone makes a point, it does not necessarily carry the implication that you said otherwise.

First phrase was in response to your statement. Second phrase was a followup to my sentence that you dotted out (...). And you accused me of modifying your wording with bad intentions.

>It does not prove that. There are programs that one can prove will halt, and also others that you can prove will not halt.

Semantic error, The halting problem only proves that a program can never CALCULATE or PROVE that a given program will fail to halt. That was what I meant.

>This seems to be demonstrating the same sort of misunderstanding as over what the halting theorem proves. Even where we cannot compute the Kolmogorov complexity, it does not follow that there is not a minimal one. As I mentioned before, the whole idea of Kolmogorov complexity is predicated on there being programs of minimal complexity.

>Going back to that Wikipedia article, we see that "The theorem says that, among algorithms that decode strings from their descriptions (codes), there exists an optimal one."

No. Not a demonstration of misunderstanding of halting. It is a demonstration of misunderstanding of Kolmogorov as you only just introduced me to it today.

Either way given any code, you cannot determine whether it is the most optimal one even if there Does exist an optimal one as the theorem states. So the intent still stands, let me modify the statement to get the semantics correct while preserving the intent:

"For any program you can determine whether Complexity for that program can be reduced or destroyed"

The above statement is False.

So in all practicality even though a simplified statement always exist we can never know if we found it. So the possibility is always there and the intent of what I said is still preserved if not stronger , see initial reply of this post:

"The examples are obvious but from the examples you can deduce that their are many instances in software engineering where such reductions can exist but are not obvious at all."

Kolmogorov still offers axiomatic support for my statement. In fact it makes the statement stronger and changes it too:

"In all instances of software engineering reductions can exist, you can never determine otherwise."

I can't say for sure but I believe that the statement above applies not only to Kolmogorov complexity, but algorithmic complexity as well.

Does anyone recall who does? I remember reading various reports from someone who did wall mount stands and had a successful business, something like an annual turnover of 150 K.

I feel like it’s someone who is fairly well known around here, and considering I have had an account for about 10 years I feel sort of embarrassed that I don’t remember their name.
You think the entire disparity is explained by "socioeconomics" and/or "institutional racism"

Yes.

This is a good cause, but the headline given to this post threw me.

Clearly, it's meant as "make communication between prisoners and their loved ones outside of prison free of cost"

But because of the phrasing, I read it as "make prison communication-free" or "make it be such that prisons are free from communication" which is a scary draconian dystopia that I can sadly imagine happening in my and many other parts of the world.
>of "numbers regarding Tesla’s business" (the stock price)

That was my first glance interpretation, but I genuinely was curious if people with more legal knowledge would know if it was a correct one. Is the stock price actually part of "Tesla's business" in this context or a reflection of Tesla's business, with the actual numbers about that being the kinds of things that go into company guidance and reports. Additionally, "it should be lower" doesn't seem like it's at all literally a "projection, forecast, or estimate" but a statement of opinion. If said opinion isn't based on undisclosed fact is it a violation? Or is there precedent (seriously) that anything a CEO says inherently is going to be an issue because they can't possibly avoid knowing private info? Normally CEOs at big public corps are more careful by default so I'm kind of curious where it's come up before. That'd tie into the "guidance" aspect too it seems.

Anyway, to be clear this isn't meant to defend him per se it's just that I find law and how the specificity of language in it plays out interesting, so I was curious about other readings.
1.Extremely low entry barriers for businesses to get exposure to investors. It lowers the barrier to entry to allow any company of any size to sell a portion of their business in the form of tokens. It's not easy to get a company listed on NASDAQ or NYSE (there are huge hurdles to overcome). On the other hand, any group of people can launch a cryptocurrency and collect funding.

2. Extremely low entry barriers for new investors. Some tokens representing securities, businesses, assets or commodities can be bought without signing up to any special service if the user already holds some kind of cryptocurrency (of any kind). There are now DEXs which allow tokens to be bought without any signup process necessary. Users can generate passphrases/private keys on the spot and they are never sent to any server so the funds cannot be stolen. The UI can even be web-based so users don't even need to download anything to buy the token.

3. Cryptographic ownership. This is the strongest form of ownership possible. Only the person who knows the passphrase/private key can move the tokens from their wallet. The passphrase is not stored on any server in the network; it is never transmitted over the wire to any service; even when sending tokens - so, if used properly, it's almost impossible for anyone to hack an account to steal funds (way more secure than banks); even developers who work on the project cannot steal the tokens. Nobody, no government or any entity of any kind can separate a token holders from their tokens - It's the only asset in the world which has this characteristic. Contrast this with other financial instruments where the owner is far removed from their property... How does an investor know that they actually own 10 gold bars? Because their broker told them so? Then how does the broker know that they hold 10 gold bars on the investor's behalf? Because a centralized trading platform told them so? How does the trading platform know that these gold bars actually exist and are not full of lead? Because the vault operators said so? Each layer adds risk. If you know anything about human nature and history, you know the reality is that there is probably nothing there. The gold may not actually exist and there is no way for an investor to verify this. On the other hand, deflation created as a result of token buybacks can be verified in a way which is impossible to fake; it's 100% transparent and visible on a decentralized blockchain.

If you think that #3 alone doesn't justify cryptocurrency, then you are severely underestimating humanity's capacity for collaborative deception and ignoring the reality that it's only going to get worse. The only way to solve this is through cryptographic transparency.

I am a bit late to the game, so maybe someone already said it in this thread. I am asuming this is intended to have people cycle to work instead of taking public transport once the lockdown is lifted. There is just one problem:

As a cyclist in locked down London, the few times I needed to get to the office on almost empty(!) streets, I noticed how much more difficult social distancing on a bike is. Not while moving, but while waiting on a red light. It is usual to wait in front of the queue in the cycle waiting area just in front of the traffice light. A few times when I waited there more cyclists or scooters with open helmets would join me there, not respecting social distancing at all (pedestrians are much better at this).

I think if the direction is going into pushing people into using bicycles much more than before, an education campaign needs to start that tells cyclists and scooters how they should behave on red lights. Not sure what the best solution will be, as I am sure there wont be much space. I guess most people really would prefer to take their car that naturally enforces separation to others. So I really expect the roads to become very full in the next weeks.
Why can't Wuhan or Milan or New York have been the control group? We've already run the experiment. We know how this works. Iowa doesn't look any different. It just doesn't. Iowa simply got started late.

You... genuinely don't think this is going to happen, do you? Even with the numbers above, you just figure something's going to change and you won't need to do anything?
FWIW, we do a lot of 'GPU visual graph analytics and investigation for X' work at Graphistry, where X is hooking into either graph DBs (neo4j, ...) or doing as a virtual / on-the-fly layer over other data systems (Splunk, jupyter notebooks, ...). Almost all of our user's graph projects have ended up involving text search, and as part of that, search indexes. Think security, fraud, genetics, etc. I can only think of a few exceptions that did not need text, such as blockchain viz. I just sort of assume text fields as part of linking data nowadays. In fact, a lot of our recent work is going to the next level, where we use ML algs to compute over text to infer even fuzzier connections, vs simple ID/string/regex matching from the older days of graph tech.

So at least for domains where people want to make correlations over data such as a logs, events, transactions, CSVs, etc., I encourage dgraph folks to watch discussions of text closely.

Fun recent example that illustrates this: For ProjectDomino.org (COVID anti-misinfo), we started by ingesting the covid twitter firehose into a graphdb for easy and fast pivoting by tweet/account/etc. However, our analysts need to search by text, and a lot of our current work is now doing ML/graph algorithms to mine the text to infer fuzzy edges: GPU BERT, GPU UMAP, ... . Neo4j supports setting up various text indexes which helps search, but for analytics, we end up having to extract the data out of the DB, infer relationships & scores, and put them back in.

> You think the entire disparity is explained by "socioeconomics" and/or "institutional racism"?

It's a little to absolutist to say "entire", but for the most part, yes, that does seem to be a huge factor in incarceration disparities by race. Either way, you are putting words in the parent poster's mouth.

> More importantly, we're supposed to have "accurate" representation for positive traits, but only white men should be represented under negative circumstances?

The parent didn't suggest anything of the sort. Again, please don't put words in people's mouths in order to start an argument that isn't there.

> Am I understanding this PC stuff correctly?

Probably not.
