The standard contracts don't specify what you will provide, they specify how much it will cost and when it will be provided. Exactly what will be provided is different each time and is generally covered by a written specification and a set of drawings, which are referred to in the contract and are part of the agreement, but they don't form part of the standard text. The building contract itself is an agreement for managing the process for things like changes to specification, the finish date and the process for paying for completed work, rejecting poor quality work or for defining poorly specified work after the contract is in progress. It sets out who has to pay the costs of changes depending on who has caused the changes and pre agrees some of the contractor's management costs.

I imagine all these things are common to software projects?

The basic project management procedures specified in the contract could probably be adapted to procure a software project. But the reason you couldn't just use a building contract for software project is because it also deals with various ancillary things like how the copyright in the design is licensed to the contractor, who is responsible for complying with Site Health and Safety legislation, various construction industry specific dispute resolution procedures required by law to be agreed in the contract, consumer rights law, housing grants and regeneration act, contracts (rights of third parties) act. GDPR, blah blah blah. The legislation is the stuff that is constantly changing.

Opera Mini still exists. I guess it's not very commonly used nowadays in terms of market share, but on the other hand, individual web pages are much heavier and require more processing nowadays.
Looms looks quite interesting and is similar to Coyote in a lot of ways. The exploration engine used by Coyote is based on years of investigation by Microsoft Research so it scales nicely on real world programs. I believe the Coyote team is looking into exposing the systematic exploration capabilities in a language and platform agnostic way so developers can create language-specific bindings in their language of choice and benefit from all the research done over decades. No timelines that I'm aware of but it is on the road map I believe.
Thanks for looking out, this is scary. I'll be seeing a doctor soon.
Here's what I do not understand -- if the company had an open office floor plan , which is probably the case a very large if not the majority number of offices, bringing the workforce back into the office would require a massive expense as the state governments are requiring the social distancing / partitions. How are the companies going to accommodate that set of regulations with the current layouts? From a simply logistical standpoint there's simply no way there enough time between now and say end of August to have offices redone to accommodate the new regulations.
Meditation. There are certain kinds of meditation that light up the brain in a near identical way to magic mushrooms, though imho the experience is better. An advanced practitioner only takes about 20 minutes of meditation to get into that kind of state. They can stay in that state as long as they want, and they can strengthen it or weaken it even turning it off whenever they want.
With your argument, we should live in a criminalized nanny state. Ice cream is pretty bad for you. Heart disease kills way more people than any drug. Maybe we should make it illegal to be fat.

No the value is decided at the moment of transaction, so that's how companies can accumulate value over transactions that are deemed "fair" by both parties. You can decide go give someone $10 for bunch of apple, and the seller can accumulate value from this.

The problem here is that one side of the trade does not fully know the value they provide. When you give $10 for an apple, you know exactly what you give and what you get. When you give $0+"your data"+"your ad view/clicks" for "free Facebook service" it's really really unclear what it is you're giving to Facebook and what it is Facebook is giving you.
But are those clicks worth as much if spending is down ?
Aviation hardware is absurdly expensive. Not only do you get to pay an A&P to install it but the gadgets are silly expensive. Think we were quoted almost $1800 to add a USB charging port to a C180.
>As an institution of higher education, I believe that we should be evaluating all of our options and enacting what is equitable for our employees. Please note that 'equitable' does not mean everyone is treated the same. Some individuals have life circumstances out of their control during COVID. We are already working remotely, we know that it does work. Further, it gives those of us that need it the most the flexibility to protect our families, our students, and our programs without having to choose one over the other. It helps us do our jobs more efficiently and effectively simply because we do not have to choose between work or family. This should not have to be a choice at a place like [institution name]. In our leadership covenants, we sign onto a work-life balance, not work over life. Have we decided to simply eliminate this agreement in our covenants go to increase our (enrollment) profits for the college by having everyone back to work arbitrarily? I would desperately hope not.

I don't think this makes sense in general. It's more effective to trade in whatever is profitable, then donate to causes you care about. Jim Cramer talked about investing in tobacco companies then donating his profits to antismoking charities.

Sure, it’s question of relative risk. It’s likely that people living on the moon would be wearing protective suits/inside lunar facilities anyways.

I guess the question is if it’s riskier to transport fissile material as cargo vs in an engine. I am not sure what the relative risk would be.
Actually it is helping it, this is not about some US police. This is about all US police.
Not really surprising there. It's a diuretic, that is it make you pee, and it's a fluid. Drinking lots of water and peeing a lot is known to help prevent kidney stones.
> Then there's the railing against the large targeted-advertising companies (I guess that's what they have most in common). There's technically been a trade already. Our data for their services.

So for whatever service they offer, we give them data. And extra secondary income from every third party they pass that same data along to. And the risk of first party data breaches. And the risk of data breaches from any other party that gets access. And likely that same data getting scraped by aggregators just from being used.

The deal is by no means equal, and we the customer pay dearly.

I'm quite happy with the idea of making it expensive to retain any data that's not required by law or explicit operational need.

I think you underestimate what vision and mission of companies are, maybe because for a lot of them it's fluff.

I'll reframe it: it's being leverage by marketing, it's not a marketing ploy in itself.

And that's fine - they are letting their audience, and potential new audiences, know their stance on a specific matter, to try to make a change. If it's amplified by media, it's great, that's why it's called "earned media".

Plus, they are not saying "We won't allow anyone in our supply chain to use Facebook Ads to advertise our products.", so they're are not hurting any businesses.

They are simply taking a position and owning it - like they did with a lot of things.

Patagonia understands branding quite well, and they understand the power of consistency when you want to build a long term and sustainable brand. Specially if you want to change the world.

You don't have to be a tech company that develops the next level of AI, or a new efficient fuel light-weight fuel, or a pharmaceutical company that develops the cure for a type of cancer, to make effective change.

Patagonia caters to a specific audience. They are doing their part to try to make what they believe is positive change.
Unfortunately it's not a realistic option for most people. If we're talking about "shoulds", then we should have a welfare state that covers these scenarios rather than putting the burden on individuals, many of whom will not have the means to implement it even if they wanted to.
You know, not everyone can study fulltime and take part in all other 'events'.

> How so? Are we comparing real-world performance or artificially limited what-if-scenarios? That's my critique with these benchmarks in general.

Remember the point of this thread: speculating on how fast ARM chips will be for compilation workloads compared to Intel chips when shipped as part of Macbooks. It seems that you are mistaking the point of the parent poster - nobody is arguing that an iPhone is better at compiling code than a desktop with an i9 chip.

The comparison of an 8-core chip to a current 2-core chip is pointless because it is an artifact of comparing a $500 stand-alone chip to a chip that is sold as part of a complete $400 phone. Adding more cores is easy - it just costs more money, and Apple has opted not to do it for the iPhone because it is not necessary for standard iPhone workloads.

It is a very reasonable assumption that the chip that will ship with a Macbook will have at least as many cores (but probably more as the individual cores are cheaper) than the equivalent Intel chip.

> I don't care what a single A13/A14 BIG-core does in a short burst load situation when the context is code compilation that takes a minute or more on a system with multiple cores.

ARM chips are more energy efficient and run less hot than Intel chips. In an equivalent chassis they have the advantage in this situation. The intel chip will overheat and throttle faster.

> So I'd argue that it's actually your perspective that's just theoretical: oh look - this dual-core [technically hexa-core while we're on the topic of being theoretical] SoC is faster than this octa-core, provided we choose a short, bursty workload and limit ourselves to a single core. You know, as one does when compiling Chrome or a any big software...

Again, it's speculation. Obviously it's theoretical. The point is that current benchmarks indicate that ARM chips are very good for compilation workloads - relatively comparable to Intel chips for a much lower cost.
Wanted to follow up after calling the FEC. The way we’ve incorporated, directly advocating for/against one or more federal candidates isn’t just an option, it’s mandatory. In order for us to qualify as the type of 527 we have registered for we are legally required to campaign for/against candidates.

We are able to raise money without limits and spend that on advocating for or against candidates. The limits kick in when we are donating to a campaign or coordinating with a campaign.
22% unnecessary surgeries following mammograms[1] is not just 'getting scared' these are invasive surgeries with real risks. Are you strawmanning my point or just being hyperbolic? Again, I ask, hoping for a less flippant answer; if we spend money, time, effort on increasing mammograms that doesn't actually improve overall mortality and has it's own risks, should we still do it?

I'm not saying this because I think we should never investigate or search for cancer, I'm just stating that it's not as clear as 'mammogram always good'. We must weigh the risks with the benefits and we cannot just ignore the harm because we're scared of the possibility of death.

Ah, but did it do it quicker than the last version? That's the question.
>You don't seem to understand the argument made by protesters.

One issue is that there is no single entity pushing a single policy. You have a lot of people saying a lot of things.

>The argument is not that the police doesn't solve crime, it's that they cause it.

Yeah. That's insanity. Is that backed up by any study? What does that even mean? There is no country on earth without a police department.

>The police in the US aren't comparable to police in other western countries.

I agree with that, and one big reason is that the American crime-rate is an outlier compared to other western countries.

>he death rate is much higher for landscapers, bartenders, taxi drivers, etc.. Roofers have a mortality rate of 4x the police.

Sure - but there is a different level of stress that comes around when your death can be caused by another human versus accidents and negligence. The death-rate of soldiers in Iraq wasn't very high by percentage either and yet it resulted in a lot of PTSD in soldiers that weren't even casualties. The stresses that cops experience are closer to active military servicemen rather than landscapers - wouldn't you say?

I remember watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfi3Ndh3n-g which shows you how quickly things can escalate especially when you're dealing with tense situations. That's what cops have in the back of their mind, for good or bad. And if you're working in a high-crime area, it's going to affect you.

Unlike roofers and landscapers, the police are also dealing with the ugliest sides of humanity. They are called in to deal with murder and rape and abuse all the time.

Having said that, this is a good argument for INCREASED investment in police departments, namely the increasing and continual training for police officers in dealing with high-stress situations and de-escalation tactics. For example, each month, each police officer should take 2 or 3 days just for this kind of training. You can also raise standards for admissions. Those are all good policies, and though expensive still, cheaper than social strife.
These are made of recycled materials, exclusively, IIRC. The environmental impact of their synthetic fibers is either 0 or negative. I could be wrong, since it's been a little while since I looked into it, but Patagonia's commitment to sustainable manufacturing is insanely inspiring.

>Aren't companies already paying indirectly by providing free service?

I think it's more about changing the frame. That Tech companies have been profiting off something you actually have always intrinsically owned, your personal data, and now is the time to retake that ownership.
I don’t understand your first point. As you state yourself, there’s already alternative formats for minimal websites. Current HTML can already do simple, content-only documents. But developers aren’t using those approaches in significant numbers. The existence of these options is not enough to solve the problem otherwise it’d be considered solved. You still need to convince devs to create content for it, which goes back to the authors original point.
Is there a way to find the cause of procrastination and overcome it?

Eh but there's a couple reasons in my mind why this might be reasonable.

First, Reddit isn't a 1st Amendment platform; they make the site, they make the rules. Like it or not, that's how it is today.

Second, you have to stop toxicity somewhere; there are a few universal goods we can generally agree upon, things like abuse of animals, underage content, etc. and as long as the slope isn't too slippery beyond that, I think this is an acceptable form of moderation.
I don't think it's enforced, but it's easily enforcable. If github sees the same IP address consistently uses 2 accounts they might ban you. Well, maybe they won't, but they can.

I don't understand why you would even publicize this. Just stop counting those users' votes, if that's what you want to do?

There's enough fuzz in the vote counts that no one would notice, and you wouldn't have any controversy on your hands.
The thing to keep in mind about supercomputers is that they are designed for particular applications. Nuclear weapons simulation, biological analysis (can we run simulations and get a vaccine?), cryptanalysis. These applications are usually written in MPI, which is what coordinates communication between nodes.

If you want to play with it at home, connect those laptops to an ethernet network and install MPI on them both--you should be able to find tutorials with a little web searching. Then you could probably run Linpack if you felt like it, but if you wanted to learn a little more about how HPC applications actually work, you could write your own MPI application. I wrote an MPI raytracer in college; it's a relatively quick project and, again, you can probably find a tutorial for it online.

Edit: Your cluster is going to suck terribly in comparison to "real" supercomputers, but scientists frequently do build their own small-scale clusters for application development. The actual big machines like Sequoia are all batch-processing and must be scheduled in advance, so it's a lot easier (and cheaper, supercomputer time costs money) to test your application locally in real-time.
Ah, got confused sorry
I do t think advertised boycotts will really sway Facebook. At the end of the day, they provide access to a billion users. That is valuable, and companies are going to pay money to advertise to those users.
How so? Calling for someone to be murdered is understandably against their policy. As is doxxing someone. The user accounts that upvote the call for murder or upvote the doxxing details KNOW that the post is against their policy and decided to participate anyway.

I hate how these conversations always devolve to "well they're just trying to control what everyone says!" as if it's black and white and not shades of gray. No, they're trying to prevent assholes from spilling over into people's real lives, because the alternative is becoming 4chan. Where all that "upvoted" content results in ACTUAL PEOPLE BEING KILLED.

I hope most people on HN don't agree with the train of thought that websites have no duty to their fellow man to not normalize hate speech. "Where does it stop" - it stops at not doxxing people and not calling for people to be murdered, per their TOS.

Refusing service is the basis for racism, sexism, classism and sometimes all of them mixed together. Oh sure, they may claim that they're doing it for some principle, but somehow the principles fall hardest on the wrong people.

> Unfortunately, the USA conflates universities and applied universities.

This. I wish this point were brought up more often in these discussions in favor of/against universities. People tend to have entirely different ideas when it comes to what a higher-level education should provide: For some people it's a scientific way of thinking about the world, for others it's just preparation for a future (and hopefully better-paying) job. Separating those ideas might be a good first step in solving this conundrum.
The ammo problem wasn't much of an issue for me, as I went for a strictly non-lethal playthrough (for which I was annoyingly denied the achievement, as one of the guards I tranq'd immediately fell unconscious...off a roof).

> But it seems to me to be the opposite of free discourse.

Freedom of speech during an era of rampant 4chan-troll white supremacism is like freedom of association during COVID. When the exercise of a freedom puts others in danger, it is fitting and proper to take that freedom away.
