Oh boy. Back in the 90s multitasking in Windows and OS/2 was such a HUGE life-improving step forward from a single-task DOS that I'm SHOCKED that anyone would be so happy to put their old shackles on again. First iPhones couldn't even play music in the background, can you imagine?
There is not much money to be made by building things, at least compared to the money you can make by renting and making sure the supply is constrained.
Oh getting paired with locals is very cool! I did it a couple years ago, and it was worth it -- but I wish some in my group had been from around my city, Austin. My project ended up shipping (https://www.currentkey.com), and it was nice to be accountable to a few other people through an important stretch and have regular reality checks. I'd strongly consider doing this again for my next project (a mobile game), especially if I could be paired with locals.

If I had one regret, looking back on the experience, it would be a mistake I made: forming an LLC far before I needed to, largely to be seen as a 'company' by YC. You can (and I'd say in some cases should) validate your project, esp. if you're a solo founder - by launching an app as an individual developer vs a company account. I know YC itself is only interested in companies, but they should appreciate that if this school is open to all -- all people don't need a company to have a profitable project.
Interesting, thanks for chiming in!

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with depriving Democrats of their consciously manipulative branding and their unearned rhetorical monopoly on 'Democracy'.

To suggest otherwise speaks volumes about one's desire to control language, and a rather anti-Democratic disposition.

If you think this strengthens the case against encryption laws, I suggest you rethink. There’s plenty of valid arguments against banning strong encryption and this isn’t one. You can’t simultaneously argue that E2EE keeps people’s conversations private to eavesdropping and then suggest that it doesn’t prevent eavesdropping for law enforcement purposes- at face value it does, and image hash databases to prevent the spread of known CSAM exist today; see, for example, Project Arachnid. And yes, law enforcement eavesdrops for law enforcement purposes. That’s why wiretap warrants exist. Whether its a good thing is another argument entirely, but it is indeed the status quo.
You've just described a superset of what I'm talking about. These goals go hand-in-hand, and I'd say understanding the systemic reality is a necessity for dismantlement and/or reform.
It's just sneakernet with bells and whistles. As it should be.
What would be a real-world example of what you're referring to ("implement your own interfaces on built-in types")?
They aren't, and the people suggesting this (i.e. the people defending their party branding in this very thread) are lying to you.
> Who wouldn’t want that?

I don't want that. There was a time when I used multiple monitors, but I've found that just working on a laptop works better for me. It's less distracting, and I find switching between windows to be both faster and less disorienting than turning my head to look at another monitor.

I can definitely understand other people preferring multiple monitors, but not everyone has the same preferences.
According to this article:
https://www.autonews.com/mobility-report/ev-sales-growing-fa...

It is expected that more than half of new cars sold will be EV by 2030. This will by federal incentives no doubt, and also by the further disruption of the car industry by the pandemic. Still, it seems low to me. And, I would expect by 2030 it will be the better choice to go electric for Lyft/Uber drivers due to decreased maintenance and overall cost per mile compared to ICE.

The problem right now is availability of reasonably priced options, but that will be solved in the next 10 years almost certainly. So, without the proclamation of a mandate my gut says 90%+ of Lyft/Uber drivers would go electric because it's the better business choice for them. So I don't think it's "Big", I think it's a calculated risk with good intentions to grab some news headlines. But that's ok, maybe it will encourage others to make bolder bets, which would be good. Not quite "Big" in my opinion.
Why (and how) public institutions should release more hardware designs as OSH
It seems more like they didn't implement E2E encryption.
Updated their priors? Review their history. Their "real intentions" have been "revealed" multiple times over the past several months (or years). It's a litany of privacy-related blunders. This is pure PR; words to distract you from their many misdeeds.

The short answer: you send us the source, we build, test and deploy the application package (binary+configuration files) to the satellite user segment.

The answer to "one or many user segments" will depend on what we will learn from that ESA mission ourselves. Some satellite instruments can be shared simultaneously, some require exclusive access and have to be accessed in sequential order.
Except Apple doesn't buy 10000 CPUs, they buy 10 000 000 CPUs.

If they were paying even 50% of list price, Intel's revenue coming from Apple would be much higher than what it is right now. Also, laptop CPUs are priced very differently from desktop CPUs.
The liability springs from enabling a straw purchase the plaintiff alleges should have been obvious and therefore the sale should have been denied.

I imagine there is evidence (video, witnesses, etc.) that tend to indicate that the dealer knew or should have known he was facilitating a straw purchase.
I had to Google exactly what this means, but I _think_ this is why it's important:

[1]

"There are limits to the scalability of the individual devices and as process technologies continued to shrink towards 20 nm, it became impossible to achieve the proper scaling of various device parameters. Those like the power supply voltage, which is the dominant factor in determining dynamic power were particularly affected. It was found that optimising for one variable such as performance resulted in unwanted compromises in other areas like power. It was therefore necessary to look at other more revolutionary options like a change in transistor structure from the traditional planar transistor."

"FinFET technology is being adopted in a variety of forms by IC manufacturers who need to increase the density of their ICs without using such small feature sizes that the device performance falls. As a result, FinFET transistor technology has enabled the development in IC technology to continue to follow Moore’s law."

Feature sizes: Possible to pass through the 20nm barrier previously thought as an end point.

Power: Much lower power consumption allows high integration levels. Early adopters reported 150% improvements.

Operating voltage: FinFETs operate at a lower voltage as a result of their lower threshold voltage.

Operating speed: Often in excess of 30% faster than the non-FinFET versions.

Static leakage current: Typically reduced by up to 90%

And for the "buried power rails":

[2]

"Buried power rails (BPRs) have recently emerged as an attractive structural scaling booster allowing a further reduction of standard cell height in highly scaled technologies. Power rails, which are part of the power delivery network, are traditionally implemented in the chip’s back-end-of-line (BEOL, i.e., the Mint and M1 layers). BPRs on the contrary are buried in the chip’s front-end-of-line (FEOL) to help free up routing resources for the interconnects. Moreover, they provide a lower resistive local distribution of the current to a technology that suffers from increasing BEOL resistance with pitch scaling. "

NSA also have lots grants that result in professors bullying their students to contribute to projects like these.

The reason this is MIT and not GPL makes this project all sorts of bad. MIT has its places and I have several personal open projects under it, but I can't imagine a case where society would be better by a company having closed hash cracks built on top of open source work.
This here exactly. Dereferencing null. Oh maybe the compiler can figure out a pointer is null and try and ratfuck you in the name of some obscure 'optimization'. But when it can't what happens depends on the machine.

Big iron machines with mmu's will invariably throw a seg fault. Some MCU's without an MMU will either seg fault because no physical memory exists[1] or return garbage. Some machines you get interesting things like the initial stack pointer. Or a memory mapped register.

[1] Trapping seg faults and logging address of the offender takes most of the pain away.

What was the premium of storing the data in S3 as opposed to keeping it in your own tape warehouse? Definitely curious about the cost benefits!
Not only are they dropping, the incentives being offered around NYC are pretty nice. 50% off security deposit and 1 month free are what I've recently received. I checked back to see a week or two after and they were offering 2 months for free with 50% off the deposit.
Not for this guy.

I have also met people who write overly complicated and lengthy code, but that doesn't mean everyone does.

The rails app that he built for my employer is still in production use 5 years later and it has turned out to be well organized and easy to maintain.

If typing is your bottleneck, then you're either careless and overly verbose... or you are insanely knowledgeable about what you do.
I agree that paragraph seems contradictory. I guess I have a slightly lower opinion of the TSA now.

What’s important is that you don’t have to use a TSA lock. You just have to open it for them if they ask.

Why?
"across the US" as in "in expensive coastal cities."

I don't know the broader trend but, anecdotally, I know people who have/are in the process of moving out of cities for more rural locations. One couple I know just moved out of a major Northeast city to the coast of Maine. Others are seriously considering vacating NYC etc.

With many tech industry jobs mostly WFH until the end of the year and the future in general uncertain, a lot of people, especially those with leases coming up for renewal, are thinking this is a good time to make a move.

ADDED: I suppose this is good news for people looking for cheaper city housing prices. Maybe not so good for those who were especially attached to either the vibrant city life or busy office life.
This is really concise, thanks! Removes a lot of the mysticism that is all too present in mathematics writing for laypeople (this explanation is just as understandable).
> If you knew it was impossible for someone to declare bankruptcy, why wouldn't you loan as much as possible to them? This is exactly how we got into a student loan crisis. If debtors could declare bankruptcy, then lenders would be much more judicious with their money. But as it stands, there's no real risk to giving an 18 year old hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans because it's practically a guarantee of 7% interest payments for 20+ years.

so first of all, the reason there's no risk in student loans is because the servicer doesn't actually lend their own money; they just manage the loan for the government.

second, bankruptcy isn't the only risk you take when you make a loan. there's always a chance that the person simply won't make enough money in their natural life to pay back the principle. $100k, you will probably get back in interest over many years. but if you loan $1mm, you might never recover the principal.

No, a PLA [1] and a microcode ROM are two very different animals.

A PLA is a way of compactly specifying combinatorial logic circuits (arrangements of and/or/etc. gates) and in the form that gave it the name, it is end user programmable (the P stands for Programmable). But at its heart, a PLA is just a big arrangement of logic gates. A signal goes in, and after the necessary gate delays settle, the result signal comes out.

Microcode is literally a "program" and is 'executed' in the same way that all other programs are executed, one instruction at a time, addressed by a program counter. There are also often branching instructions that generate new program counter values to use to sequence through the various steps. None of which exists in a PLA.

The appearance of similarity arises because both look similar in a silicon die photo (rows and columns of transistors), but they are very different and perform quite different functions on the chip.

It shouldn't be, but if you don't control the software and the encryption algorithm, there's no reason why zoom couldn't just sign the content so that could evesdrop on everything.

Haha same. When using the printer in my apartment's "tenant office", I can at least know that a sandboxed incognito window will offer some protection.

Thank you for your kind words.

It is true that we do not have an Open alternative for Fairphone 3 yet. I don't know if we will ever release one. However, I truly believe that the cooperation with the /e/ foundation [1] gives our users an even better option. /e/ do a much better job at providing a good open source OS than we could ever do because for us it always was and would be a side project.

> It's just a bare minimum that you reduced

No, it's the -maximum- that I reduced entropy by. If I choose randomly from 4 possible passwords, I've shaved off --no entropy--.

If I choose with a strongly predictable preference (say, everyone knows I'll pick the password that's first alphabetically) I've shaved nearly 2 bits off the probable search space: you probably only need to look in the first 1/4th of the search space.

Choosing with some subtle, individual preferences is something inbetween.
Also some of ChessNetwork's content on youtube - the slower games in particular - 10m +

I'll say also if you want to improve at chess, you need to play slower time controls to build that pattern recognition and "muscle memory" up. Blitz is fun, but it's hard to really think deep and learn a lot.
And eventually many countries in the developing world will have a higher power and higher standard of living than us, and our service industries will not have much of a comparative advantage or really much added value, and power relations will change which will completely upend the favourability of trade relations.

You can get exposed chip dies on keychains from the intel merch store, which when i worked there i believe was in SC5 building.

They were super cool looking.

I wouldn’t get a 4K display since most of them are still only 60Hz. Yeah, you don’t need a higher refresh rate to program but it makes daily desktop use SO much more pleasant for me.

There are some high refresh rate 4K 27”s but those are pretty expensive.
Good point about GIMP. That always was a terrible name. Sometimes we coders are too "clever" for our own good and need someone who knows about branding to rein us in.

It'd be one thing if these changes weren't improvements, but they are, and opposing them solely because someone you perceive to be an "SJW" is proposing them is overly reactionary.
Yep, seen that in person at a startup. The company was receiving regular threats to pay some bitcoins or be DDoS'ed.

History has, the company used to be DDoS'ed regularly, sometimes offline for days, before moving to cloudflare.

The only solution I see is enforced regulation to respect DNT, or something like it. Do you have something else in mind?

Are you sure "Christine Weston Chandler" is a genuine Candidate? A well known and somewhat controversial Internet figure shares the same name. Also, I am barely able to find any other information relating to someone with this name running for president. Might this be a troll candidate?
The LG UltraFine is a 27-inch 5K (5120 x 2880) IPS display. The maximum refresh rate is 60 Hz, so not the best for gaming; but it's designed for a Mac anyway. I've had a couple for over three years now and it's the best display for a Mac I know of, outside of Pro Display XDR, I suppose.
The monitor I want:

- 1440p

- IPS panel

- size between 23 and 27 inches, ideally 24 or 25

- flatscreen, 16:9, normal monitor, no "gamer" or other weird stuff.

- reasonably priced

I don't live in a rich country so there's not much variety. I got tired of searching for it. All monitors with more than 1080p I've found are either "gamer" (which cost 5x as much because of the gamer tax and other features useless to me, like 144hz, gsync and "3ms response times") type of monitors, curved screens, ultra wide screens, etc.

That is just so...weak. I acknowledge the historical origins, but is anyone really bothered by this? "Democrat" is obviously a demonym for those in the Democratic Party, so shortening it to the "Democrat Party" (i.e. the party of the "Democrats") seems perfectly reasonable. I mean, it does lend itself to silly orthographic puns like "DemocRAT" etc., but by itself doesn't really seem particularly offensive.
The consequences here seem like barely anything. Again, nothing at all like the proverbial shark attack.

The e-ink display part triggers thoughts of an Amazon of the future that uses entirely reusable boxes to ship things to consumers. Hard plastic containers w/ e-ink labels. Boom, no more millions (billions? trillions?) of cardboard/plastic boxes used to enclose packages. Still millions/billions/trillions of boxes/plastic packaging for the items themselves, but at least the transit envelope would be reusable.

No, I mean understanding in great detail how ideas propagate through social networks of human beings, with the idea in mind of sending your own ideas propagating through for useful effects. The SBIR I bid on was explicitly for doing this to countries the US had acquired in foreign wars. My excuse ... I had a lady friend serving in Mosul. Now a days I look at that as a fairly terrible thing to work on which could only make the world worse if it had succeeded.

This example (which OP helpfully told me I was mistaken about) would have been one of a sort of "forced hand" as in stage magic. I doubt as anyone could have foreseen that specific paper being googled up, but one can easily foresee things relating to that drug being more exposed in a group like ours than they were ... 4 years ago or something. Add a lot of little things up like that, and you can really push things in a desired direction in a group of people. Enough groups of people, and you are influencing an entire society in pretty radical ways. Lots of modern propaganda works this way in large and small ways. If you've been alive for a while, you'll see that we've had some pretty significant changes for the last couple of decades.

My "contribution" would have been providing a model to test scenarios. They actually funded a considerably less speculative project than mine: more or less Poisson regression applied to this problem.
