The US used to intentionally degrade GPS signals available to civilian receivers as compared with those available to military ones, but it stopped doing that in the 1990s.

The biggest difference now between military and civilian GPS is that military receivers use two frequencies, whereas most civilian ones only use one (since using two costs more).

Sorry if you find it patronizing, I tried to describe the problem in a general way to make it interesting for the general reader, independently of how we solve the problem.

Okteto, in particular, does not impose any IDE. It works with online IDEs, vscode, vscode remote, IntelliJ, IntelliJ remote... it is one of our core values. What we move to the remote cluster is the development environment runtime.
We're getting way off topic here, but you have a horribly misguided premise here. A typical shopkeeper is not in the .1% 'cash hoarding' class. Small businesses are mostly run by people with average resources, and their capital is typically spent on their business and personal needs.
I totally agree. A lot of these CPU review articles are aimed at gamers and hence ignore integrated graphics entirely, since it's assumed you'll go out and buy a nice discrete graphics card.

> I am actually somewhat convinced that s global namespace is one of the major factors of growth for Emacs. Yes, namespaces can be nice. But there is something about a playground that encourages all cards on the table.

Isn't that a point of commonality with Lisp Machines? Not that I've used one, but from what I read, one of their great aspects is that every function of everything running in a Lisp OS was available for impromptu runtime modification. IOW, you could modify anything even while it's running, without the need to rebuild it and restart it like we do now.

Having a global namespace makes the hot-reloading easier by not having to figure out in what namespace the redefinition should be happening.

That feature is pretty much only widely available in Emacs, now.

We needed it. Truth is, we didn't know a bunch of important things before this study. In particular, we didn't know if people were going to work more or less. Quite a lot of people were hoping for "more" (or at least better), me included. It was a long shot, but if it turned out to be true it would have been a game changer. Turns out it's not.
> It turns out that Haskell's non-strict semantics are a shockingly close match for the semantics of hardware

Doesn't Haskell need automatic memory management in order to implement higher-order functions, that being perhaps the most prominent difference in semantics between Haskell/Ocaml and Rust? Is Clash limited to first-class functions ala C?

Even then it helps not to expect people to change their mind right there. Especially in the case of relatives with weird ideas, it can be helpful to not go into a discussion with the explicit aim of them seeing the problems right now but to just plant a few seeds.

Yes, and hardware designers that refuse to upgrade from horrendous HDLs like Verilog are going to get BTFO over the next few decades by upstarts using stuff like clash, which lets you debug using SWE strategies before doing anything on hardware. Basically anything new is going to BTFO verilog really - clash, chisel, nmigen.
Nofap.
Except:

- It's shorter-range, so coverage will be spotty for a long time

- It doesn't go through buildings, so even the urban centers most likely to get the first towers will have spotty coverage

- It will require buying a new device, which OEMs love but the average person won't

- That device will take a hit in battery life

And all of this for ludicrously-fast new speeds on mobile devices that we'll use for... what exactly? We can already stream HD video over 4G. What experience is 5G, assuming you actually have access to it, going to improve?

I'm sure we can contrive some use-cases like streaming VR video or whatever (even though all current phone-based VR platforms have been sunsetted), but I'm extremely skeptical that it will do anything to make the average user's mobile experience better in any meaningful way.
> you should also know that Himmler created the SS

I don't understand what point you are trying to make. The SS was an organization within the nazi party, not Germany's armed forces. Your example refutes your previous assertion that "having a military take over like Nazi Germany" because your quote clearly points out that nothing of the sort happened ever.
I think this is why you mostly see these cheap articles called out as being ideal for gaming rigs where you're highly likely to be adding a dedicated GPU anyway. Even a low end card like a $120 RX 570 is going to be 600+% faster than the built in Intel GPU:
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-UHD-Graphics-630...

Even for video editing the math might change a bit since modern video editing apps can leverage GPU for rendering.

That said, I agree with the folks who say that AMD releasing desktop chips built on Zen 2 with built in GPU cannot come fast enough.
Probably, because it provided them with more likely paths to monetization having everyone dependent on their server infrastructure. An argument could be made that if Zoom wants to build positive equity with the security community then open sourcing the Keybase server might be a good way to do that.

Colour me skeptical. I've seen enough to know that MITM gives you enough information or threat vectors.

That said, I agree with you about Huawei and non-5G. We shouldn't be talking about banning them on 5G, we should be talking about banning them (and anyone outside of the western alliance, really) from selling gear in our countries period. National security takes precedent. China doesn't even let reporters from the NYT in their country ffs.

But whatever. Politicians are reactive and don't understand cybersecurity and the few that do don't have the sway or incentives to really push for this. Though I will say one thing, in a cyberwar we'd brick China just as badly as they would brick us, so at least we have MAD working for us.

I don't think the distinction matters. The SS was an armed military force, with 900,000 soldiers.
It's been like this for weeks
I dealt with a similar issue in 2001. About 6 mid-range Sun servers (like small refrigerators in size), running Netscape Application Server, with the load distributed using round-robin DNS (A record round-robin). Due to some DNS servers caching the A record longer than intended, it would create uneven distribution of load -- too much on one server and it'd go bad, requests would start taking too long and it'd start throwing 500 errors or just wouldn't respond. Once it stopped accepting connections, other servers would take on its load (the client would retry to the next IP in the round-robin) but then similar thing would happen to the fifth server, and the rest would follow shortly thereafter in a death spiral.

Restarting was a bear. We had to "warm up" the application server by hitting some of the web pages so caches would get populated etc., before opening the system to public traffic (which, as I recall, we controlled with IP address aliases) or else it would die again.

Finally we put the system behind an F5 load balancer which resulted in a much more even distribution of traffic -- that, coupled with the "warm up" crawl, let to a greatly stabilized system and highest ever (and growing) page views.

Let's Free Podcasts from Advertisers
I am building a startup (https://picopay.app) to offer podcasts a streamlined mode of revenue other than ads. I am doing this because I think re-tethering monetary incentives to the quality of content is going to be critical, so that podcasting doesn't succumb to the same pitfalls other online media has. (Eventually, I think tackling revenue streams in those realms is a must, too. The current trajectory of intertia is not good for our various informational institutions.)

I would love to talk to people who have podcasts, to help shape our MVP. Your insight is valuable.

I would also like to talk to anyone with a technical background who shares my view that this is a critical issue to tackle. I haven't programmed professionally for several years (I'm a lawyer now) but I dusted off my old skills and I've been cobbling everything together myself. I've been going it alone, but having a 50/50 cofounder would, I think, help the startup succeed.
If you have any doubt that software takes real skill, wade into the muck that is software written by scientists. You will discover classes of errors at all levels that you didn't even think possible. Testing? What's that? Exponential run time? Does that matter? And why does my program give different answers now than it did last year? Those numbers worked for my paper--make the program give them again!
I struggle to see the point of 5G existing at all when I can already burn through the 22 GB data cap on my "unlimited" plan in an hour with 4G.
No, clash supports higher-order functions just fine. The only thing it can’t really represent is general recursion. You need to use type-constrained recursion. Clash isn’t fully generalized yet so it provides some nice bounded recursion primitive.
Last year, I had something that was very close to basic income (income-generating website that doesn't require active babysitting).

I knew a life without work would be amazing, but I never expected it to be this great.

I had much more time and energy to enjoy life. There was never a rush to do anything. I woke up when I wasn't tired. I could read in bed for an hour if it felt right. Sometimes I'd just walk 3-5 kilometres to an appointment, and stop for a pint along the way.

I didn't stagnate either. My personal projects became my job. My work day started when I was ready and ended when I was done. With my finances already sorted out, I worked on things I enjoyed, not on potential startups.

Interestingly enough, life got cheaper. I didn't eat out as often, and cooked from scratch. I could afford the time it takes to be frugal.

Never in my life have I been so content with my situation. I didn't make much, but I had all the time in the world to enjoy life. Isn't that what people say they'd do if they won the lottery?

The second part of the experience came when I got a short work contract to finance a motorcycle trip. Suddenly, I was back to losing sleep, skipping breakfasts, waiting for the day to end, commuting and generally trying to fit life around my job.

I give basic income a 10/10, and wish everyone was given the chance to enjoy life on their own terms. I don't know if it's economically viable, but it's definitely the most enjoyable lifestyle I got to experience.

EDIT: this is getting a bit of attention. I'd be happy to answer questions publicly or privately. There's a fair bit of luck involved, but no dirty secrets.
So Sagan thinks appealing to authority of consensus is fine, but not authority of someone in charge?

It's still not clear to me exactly what sorts of authorities we can and cannot appeal to, and why one sort is fine and another sort is not.

And what about authority of a cop (i.e. someone in charge)? If the cop tries to pull me over, am I free to ignore him because he's not a scientific expert, thus he cannot appeal to his own authority?
I wonder how close ad markets are to zero sum. In the limited cases where ads are good for an individual firm, being close to zero sum would make ads a drain on the industry. In the article, they talk about how in most experiments, the most of the people who click your ad would have clicked your link anyways without the ad. In a really important footnote they talk about how this is crazy with a hugely important exception: if you don't bid, your competitor will. Like amazon bidding on searches for "walmart."

The effect is obvious and obviously wasteful for brand name searches, but it must extend to other searches as well. I search for "levi's" and your ad isn't going to make me materially more likely to buy jeans, but it will make me more likely to buy them from Levi's. Or, and here's the point, if I just search "jeans," your ad isn't going to make me materially more likely to buy jeans. But you have to bid or else I won't buy your jeans. It strikes me as just as wasteful as Levi's having to bid on the "levi's" search term. The money that was going to go towards the jeans industry still goes there, except that now Google and Facebook get a cut and the jeans industry's margin shrinks a little.

This article does a brilliant job convincing me that most ads aren't incremental for a firm because of selection effects, which convinces me that most ads that are incremental for the firm aren't incremental to the market. It seems so wasteful.

Anyway, it seems that the State paying off medical student debt in return for a certain amount of service to a particular population (a.k.a. the Joel Fleischmann experience) is an efficient use of tax dollars. I admit to only knowing of one person in this situation, but she enjoyed working in the area where she was assigned so much that after her commitment was fulfilled, she stayed on. And even if she hadn't, the community was still well served for the time she was there.

I don't know how widespread this practice is, though.
The Cost of Free Doughnuts: 70 Years of Regret
There's an important market segment though that these will suit well. People on budgets doing upgrades of cheap systems. They'll likely continue to use their old video card, which will probably be better than Intel's integrated GPU, but will swap out the motherboard and CPU (and maybe RAM).

When I was much younger, and on much more of a budget, these "computers of theseus" were my main rigs for a long time. The meta-game was to try to see how few parts you had to swap out from piecemeal upgrade to piecemeal upgrade.

> The government of the United States is set up so states have supremacy over the Federal Government in many/most areas of domestic policy.

I don't think you are familiar with the commerce clause [1].

It gives the federal government control to regulate anything that would effect interstate commerce which would obviously include spread of a novel infectious virus.

Obviously State issued mandatory lock-downs effect interstate commerce and that where there federal government can begin regulating.

Edit:

In 1902, the Supreme Court directly addressed a state’s power to quarantine an entire geographical area. In Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana State Board of Health, the justices upheld a Louisiana Supreme Court decision that the state could enact and enforce quarantine laws unless Congress had decided to preempt them.
Will this mean Keybase will be killed in the near future ?

From the blog

Initially, our single top priority is helping to make Zoom even more secure. There are no specific plans for the Keybase app yet. Ultimately Keybase's future is in Zoom's hands, and we'll see where that takes us. Of course, if anything changes about Keybase’s availability, our users will get plenty of notice.

So, our shortest-term directive is to significantly improve our security effectiveness, by working on a product that's that much bigger than Keybase. We can't be more specific than that, because we're just diving in.
