I've been running Ubuntu 18.04 on my X1 Carbon for the last couple of years and it has been delightful.
C++ lets you statically link the standard library though, right? Or am I missing your point?
That is correct. Have to have physical racks at approved data centres to terminate exchange leased lines. System audit regulations means that exchange approved auditors walk into the data centres and look at the racks and verify compliance :)
Hello, I'm the empty set.
Just a quick note on WKD since I've been bitten by this a few days ago: as soon as you set it up, some people will start using your keys automatically, without even knowing it (eg. it seems that ProtonMail automatically uses keys found on a WKD to encrypt outgoing mails). While in itself it's not a bad idea, you'd better prepare for this to avoid looking stupid like me, when you receive a casual encrypted mail and you're not able to read it (my private keys are air-gapped and until now I only expected to receive PGP-encrypted mail if it was worth the effort to read it offline).
your scenario really makes no sense to me, maybe you're not familiar with what Matrix is?
Correlation does not equal causation. I could spin the data to point out that Sweden has a fraction of the deaths as NYC and a higher antibody rate, proving that lockdowns don't work.

I don't think data is the reason why people feel strongly one way or the other about this. Maybe risk assessment is the difference.

We both look at the same data and come up with different conclusions. We might even both agree that this is most likely to peter-out from this point, but that it could get worse. We disagree on how to hedge/address both possible outcomes.
Stable base. I'm pretty fond of Ubuntu LTS as the OS running the bare metal, then [docker] containers on top of that to run applications, which means I can have as new of apps as I want while keeping a nice boring stable kernel/bootloader/sshd/whatever.
Ha, meanwhile I wouldn't buy a ThinkPad (or any other laptop) without it.

As for your question, I've never heard of at least the "real" ThinkPad series laptops (X/W/T/...) sold without the TrackPoint. Does it really bother you when typing? If it's the appearance, you can likely find a black nib for purchase or maybe remove the included nib and blacken it out.

I'm wondering how long, or if ever, it takes for reasonable people to resume buying Lenovo products after they got busted using a firmware-based rootkit to reinstall their manufacturer spyware onto a freshly formatted OS install (the same year they got busted preinstalling third-party adware, which resulted in an FTC settlement/fine).

Do you wait like a year or three? five? Do you never buy Lenovo again? What's reasonable? This isn't rhetoric: I'm legitimately asking for a figure, as well as a rationale, because I don't know the answer.

Personally I'm in the market for a high end laptop for running Linux, and I just couldn't see myself buying something from them ever, no matter how good their machines are, because I just don't trust the people in the organization who develop products to take system integrity seriously enough.
On a tangential note, I recently switched from an XPS 15 to a X1 Carbon. The thinkpad is a completely uncompromised device. It feels like a laptop from the future, where nothing sucks. The keyboard is great, the screen is great, the touchpad is great, the keys are all there, it's super light, but super solid, there's a bajillion ports. Anyone considering a new laptop should give a good look at thinkpads. They also have ridiculous sales from time to time - I got my X1C for about 50% of retail price.

This is one thing I don't get: why do journalists confuse units so often?
We don't need to speculate - it is happening in Belarus. Sweden is quite close to a lock-down, but Belarus is far away from a lock-down. Lukaszenko is advising sport, especially on ice and vodka to fight off the virus.

Still, Belarus mobility statistics according to Google [0] are:

Retail & recreation: -16%

Transit stations: -20%

Workplaces: -25%

Their economic activity is certainly reduced right now. People do not want to expose themselves even if their leaders are downplaying it. BTW - Belarus was probably prepared the best in the world for pandemic with 11 beds per 1000 people vs. 5.8 beds per 1000 people in EU in 2010 [2].

So entering speculation again, IMF is projecting 6% GDP contraction in Belarus [1].

Another data point is Open Table (restaurants reservations) data [3] from USA. Most of the drop in reservations happened before lock-down. People decided to not go on their own - on average 73% down before restaurants were ordered to close. My prediction is that up-tick in states that are opening right now will be very small as well.

> What experience is 5G, assuming you actually have access to it, going to improve?

Remotely operated robotics due to the much lower latency.
Think near instant reaction times while operating a drone with VR goggles, and all the implication this could have.

Also many other use cases become more feasible:

- Self driving cars with human fallbacks

- Safer car racing

- Actually smart delivery, where a single person can manage a fleet of vehicles

- Search & rescue operations ...
I'm a Torontonian and I was looking forward to the project. I'm sad to see it cancelled. (It's a big city with many opinions, I don't think you can fairly claim that quote about "thousands of Torontonians" is "simply not true" from a sample size of dozens, the author is not even claiming all those people supported the Quayside project specifically).

Sure, some parts of the project looked like tech for tech's sake but I was excited about the urban design plans and architecture. And who knows, maybe some of the tech-y things would turn out to be good too. That's what experiments are for, and this wasn't a very large scale or risky one when compared to the size of the city so it's worth it to me to try new things even if many of the ideas don't work out. As for data issues, it seemed like the city and Waterfront Toronto were not afraid to exercise a lot of control on that front so Sidewalk Labs wasn't going to be able to do whatever they wanted, a lot of effort was going into ensuring it was in the public interest. This latest news supports the idea that the city was uncompromising in supporting what they see as the public interest - even to the extent that Sidewalk labs gives up entirely.

Did anyone ever argue against it? The point of UBI isn’t that anyone wouldn’t want to get it - it’s that noone can pay for it (or rather, we as a society cannot).

I think COVID nicely shows what happens if the society stops working - labour shortages, soon translated into food and material shortages. Some (e.g. in the UK) are even paid by the government, it’s basically a temporary UBI!
CSGO takes advantage of multiple cores. It starts tapering off at around 4 cores, but it still showed gains all the way up to 6 cores: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj9cuHuTNVU

It very definitely takes advantage of far more than 1 or 2 cores, though, with 4 cores having ~2x the FPS compared to 2 cores.
Is there anybody alive that holds this grudge? Even with the article from 2012, I don't know

Was this grudge instilled in children?

> I wonder who you think would move into that?

Typically, migrant tech workers who came from somewhere else.

In the rest of the world that is not San Francisco, there is, in fact, an unprecedented rate of construction of new properties. Seattle has more active cranes building than anywhere else in North America. The Vancouver skyline changes year-over-year as 30-story condos spring up like mushrooms around SkyTrain stations. Toronto is building and densifying at breakneck speed.

And yet, rent in each of these locations is sky-high, squeezing the lower classes.

Could construction be faster? Sure. Would the problem be worse if there was no construction? Probably. Is construction fixing the issue? Hell, no, it's not. Not even close.
Sounds like good timing that https://keys.pub has become usable recently. :)
You don’t reckon landlords of those upper-end mid-priced dwellings are asking more for rent every time a lease ends and a new one starts?

Because that does seem to be what’s happened in many cities.

One issue here is ideological: is housing a universal right, or is housing a capital good to be accumulated and regulated to be artificially scarce?
Works best if you can just steamroll through with the project from the start. PoC small scale (though much larger than 12 acres, which is about 2 Manhattan city blocks), then large scale.

Requires feds to be totally on board, have the power to green light everything quickly, and have tons of capital to deploy. Unfortunately for SWL, it's not possible for an Alphabet company to build in Saudi Arabia or China.
Ohh. I was hoping for Mr Bean's apartment or the office from IT Crowd. No dice.

That's a good way to pay for the panels.
Personally, I'd leave the truly suburban areas where you can't even walk to the gas station without it taking 30 minutes alone. However, there are plenty of neighborhoods in the US and Canada that were designed around walking to the streetcar. I think those neighborhoods are already laid out well for medium density apartments and improved transit.
I don't use the trackpoint but it's also never presented even the slightest issue to me when typing.
> Most things are automated now. There's only 13M factory workers left in America vs 20M+ in the 70's, and population has doubled since then.

You're mistaking automation for outsourcing. The factory workers are still around, only they're in China now. Yes, we've automated some things but we're building other stuff now. Much like, yes, we have power tools today, but we're also not only building simple, uninsulated houses.

Dream your utopia, but don't forget that real people still do 14 hour shifts to supply you with the goods you desire, not some highly automated robot in some hidden factory under the streets of your city. It's just that most of these people are n ocean away now, so you don't need to see them and get your happy life disturbed by seeing their living conditions compared to yours.

The goods pour out of the factories, the power is generated by the the wall outlet, the internet lives in the cable and water flows directly from the tap. The magical world of tomorrow. I know, I know, "some day it will all be automated, just you wait". Yeah, let's wait until that's actually in sight and not just hidden away behind a tiny robot moving the product the last 500 feet to your door. It isn't in sight today and it won't be tomorrow.
We could always make renting above cost of construction and maintenance illegal and have the state build public housing, but this is unpopular with landlords and aspiring landlords.
Do you still exist?!
>The problem isn't the price

Price was absolutely the problem. Soldiers were paid about $600 year. Not much for a job where you risk your life and dont have much of personal freedom or comfort.

Free food was part of benefits. Charging soldiers for it seems ludicrous, they can not just leave, and go to nearest cafe.
If you keep building them, they will become more available. You're increasing supply, without affecting demand (from potential investors or residents).
Here is an interesting article from 2015 discussing the issue: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/11/california-b...

It seems especially dumb given that (as the article points out) that accent marks are used in the names of state landmarks, state parks, etc.
If anyone from Zerodha tech team is here, I wonder what's the reasoning behind Zerodha's weird 2FA setup? A static password + a static pin is not really 2FA IMO. What's the problem with supporting standard hardware or app based 2FA that requires an OTP?

The answer is already there is the quote, if you charitably read it, and ponder on the meaning of the word "expert".

You have a scientific question [1] (like "is climate changed caused by human activities?") that you want answered. There is no authority that can/should dictate an answer. There can exist experts that spend a lot of time investigating the question and come up with their answer. You don't have to believe any of them them. In fact, science has often advanced by people not believing in the experts.

BUT if you want to answer a sufficiently complex question, you have two smart options: (a) either believe in one of the experts [2] (b) spend sufficient time investigating the question yourself and figuring out the answer. A third option (c) believe in the opinions of a non-expert, is very stupid. In general, you can check yourself over your lifetime, that (c) results, with high frequency, in you being wrong.

This answers goes for non-scientific things also. If you haven't spent adequate time investigating the question yourself, it is generally smart to defer to someone who has.

[1] A scientific question is one whose answer, in principle, can be refuted by empirical investigations.

[2] Some scientific fields are highly political, where sometimes, experts have agendas beside the truth. I am not getting into the separate question of how to determine if someone is an actual unbiased expert.
In fairness, conspicuous consumption is one of the primary draws of Vegas. Probably not a very representative example.
Wasn't it claimed that did not happen on the Thinkpad lines?
But unfortunately these alternatives don't have the same encryption support, do they? (Some seem not to have any.)
I witnessed something like this when I worked at a Six Flags amusement park (wasn't 6F at the time) that had a decent size water park. They did exit surveys every night, asking as many people as they could if things were ok, and one year they also asked people "Would you pay extra for the water park", it was free as part of admission. So they wanted to know if people would pay extra. People said yes. Something like 90% of people said yes. So, of course, the bosses all thought "hey we can make some extra money and people won't mind!"

So fast forward to the next year, they charged the same for people to get in and something like $10 to get into the water park. Something like 101% of people were ANGRY. Not just a little angry, VERY angry. It was a HUGE change that people didn't expect. There were VERY few people that paid. I can't remember if they made it free that year or waited until the next.
My anecdotal 2 cents: I haven't learned about a single product by targeted advertising in a long long time, if ever. Vast majority, if not all, of targeted ads I've seen are about things I've seen already: I check some product out, maybe even buy it, and the thing follows me the entire internet for days.
The point was to use one of these great AMD parts... Motherboard support doesn't seem to be a problem, Asrock lists all their range as supported and has everything you might need. The actual annoying part about motherboards is that some older stuff is technically compatible but you need an old CPU to upgrade the BIOS before you can install one of the newer ones.
It’s two years. But seriously check out system76 hardware. I’ve been pleased.
C'mon: Hong Kong, persecution of Uighurs and Falun Gong and political prisoners and artists and journalists and anyone who talks about Taiwan or the Tienanmen Square Massacre, IP theft, cyber attacks, political aggression in the South China Sea ("Nine-Dash Line"), not to mention trying to expend their censorship apparatus internationally!

Physical infrastructure is always overprovisioned because it has to be planned long in advance and the smallest unit is huge (8 cores? 128 GB of RAM? for a small server).

If anything that's an argument against physical infra, not in favor of. Although it's fine if one wants a lot of the same big servers (an Hadoop cluster, or video computing cluster, or a CDN), which are the few use cases where physical can make sense (and hybrid cloud probably makes even more sense).

With AWS, you'd never spin half of that infra upfront. You'd spin a few VMs and start running stuff. If the project goes well, spin more or bigger VMs, otherwise spin down. Cost is very dynamic and the company doesn't have to spend half a million upfront, which is a big financial problem for many companies.

Anyway. We can both agree on AWS being overpriced. The reference on costs should be Google Cloud if one is cost conscious, not AWS. Google Cloud is often half the costs of AWS for the same thing.

AWS vs Google comparison, bit old and instance types have changed but relative pricing has not moved https://thehftguy.com/2018/11/13/2018-cloud-pricing-aws-now-...

I would guess skyscrapers vs. 4 stories. West/East Village in Manhattan are generally considered the most pleasant and they are skyscraper-free.
It is my understanding that all of the evidence we have for IQ is statistical in nature: it's a robust correlate. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that it is strong correlation with an innate, biological, causative metric that closely corresponds to a general, popular notion of "intelligence"--which is of course the use that pop psychology immediately attaches to it.

IMHO, the most biting criticism of IQ is that we (that is the psychology community at large) expect such a thing to exist, and so we treat anything that looks like it might fit that glove, no matter how poorly, as evidence of its existence. Our scientific methods aren't really capable of forcibly rebutting such a theory--see the existence of parapsychology, where psi is statistically known to exist (unless you're a skeptic). See https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/28/the-control-group-is-o... for a discussion of this phenomenon.
Reinforcement Learning with Augmented Data
I feel like they were making a general secure E2E 'corporate team software' kit, with a focus on software dev. Storage, chat, git, etc. But then they forgot to charge money :(

For corps especially, they want to be able to pay money so they can get support and SLAs. But keybase files have always had somewhat bad performance and undefined storage limits, so you couldn't rely on it as a company. It was always the biggest confusion point about keybase for me. If keybase charged money, would they have been more successful?

The social network / device & key management stuff they started with I considered their original startup idea that they pivoted from.
Let me quote exactly the page you linked :

> The GNU C++ compiler, g++, has a compiler command line option to switch between various different C++ ABIs. This explicit version switch is the flag -fabi-version.

You're not wrong, the GT 710 only does 4k at <=30 Hz, which makes it a terrible choice for general purpose computing at this point. It also doesn't do VP9 acceleration. The GT 1030 does these things, but it's also twice as expensive.
The vast majority of the Zoom software development team is based out of companies in China.

They do have support people in the US and a handful of non-support engineering which is why I said thanks and immediately updated the comment to say "majority" instead of "entire" since it's more correct.

That technicality is less relevant to the main point of the argument.

Ask HN: Can you still achieve FIRE if you start planning at 40?
As a hypothetical, imagine that you are 40, and you are strapped for cash. No retirement funds or other accounts other than a checking account, and you are collecting unemployment. Your first priority may be to get a full-time job for a more stable source of income. At that age, it still doable to retire early with financial independence in 10-15 years? And do you think there is an event horizon where FIRE is no longer achievable?
