The first graph looks like a power law. It's fascinating how many processes follow power laws.

As a side note, you are almost always better off (also on this case) by plotting power laws on a log scale.

For Chrome, that's going to be a fix on Chrome's side - you can't simply suspend/unsuspend like with hibernate because libraries are going to be changing, so it's up to each program to figure out how to restore. UWP handles it for you but, well.

As for waiting for ALL programs to be ready: No. Not going to happen. There are programs written in 1996 still running on Windows PCs today that don't comprehend the event model, nevermind listening to the shutdown event to save state. And they will forever run. And the system is going to have to reboot at some point.

The alerts were tried. People didn't like being told their computer was going to restart, so the alerts went away.
For reference, Australia tried the same thing with the National Broadband Network. We would have had the same end-result as NZ, except that Rupert Murdoch didn't like the newfangled Internet-based media competing with his Fox cable network, so he told Tony Abbott that he'd get him elected as Prime Minister if he killed it off.

The deal was struct, Tony was suddenly the "wonderkid" that could do no wrong and Fox News made sure the whole world heard his name. He was promptly elected by retired country morons who've never heard of the Internet but watched Fox on the telly every evening.

Tony licked Rupert's boots like a good little boy and did his best to kill the NBN: https://delimiter.com.au/2012/07/06/australia-doesnt-need-th...

Thankfully his power didn't last long, but his short stint nonetheless had lasting damage: https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/national/2019/01/10/rupert-m...

We can now (as of just a few weeks ago!) get gigabit on the Australian NBN, except that instead of NZD 100 it costs AUD 150 monthly. You also have to be one of the lucky 19% to be on the FTTH network that was built before Tony stopped its construction: https://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/property/2019/01/28/what-...

Fuck Rupert Murdoch. Seriously. He is one of the most evil, vile, hateful, greedy, self-centered cunts alive on this planet.

There is UBI in Canada, but it's called welfare.

In order to form the Canada federation, Ontario had to agree to pay residents of Quebec and the Maritime provinces for not working.

"Transfer payments" is the only reason Quebec hasn't become an independent country yet.

How it's handled in Newfoundland is that fishermen agree to fish for a few months, then they get "income support" for the remaining months of the year.

Real newspapers do justify text, and they do end up with large chunks of white space between words. I think OP was going for the newspaper look so that part is quite authentic even though I agree it may not be the best design choice for "normal" web pages.

The hard upper limit on a neutron star mass, the Rhoades-Ruffini limit, is at 3.2 solar masses.

> The total download cost to upgrade all binaries on my system which were affected by CVEs in 2019 is 3.8 GiB. This is reduced to 1.0 GiB if you eliminate glibc.

The upgrade problem has almost nothing to do with download size. The real problem is that you have > 100 binaries which depend on those libraries, and instead of having the library authors go and update the library, you need each team responsible for one or more binaries to go and take the new library and release a new version of their binary.

And then, when you want to check if your system is safe from Heartbleed, instead of checking if you have libopenssl > 1.0.1g, you need to check if bin1 > 1.2.56 or > 0.6.89h, bin2 > 5.76.1, or > 4.6.215,... bin100 > 1.67.89.

And of course, if one of them does NOT have a newer version compiled with the patched library, you need to fix it yourself, and maintain a patched version of the binary. Assuming that you even know that binary had been linked to the vulnerable library.
Yes. I second the parent comment. I get 150mbps, 1TB FUP and my plan consts ~14USD per month. There is an offer also in which if I prepay 1 year's fee then I get 6 months free. This means the actual per month costs me even lesser.
Public school also goes terribly bad. Graduation rates are problematic, the government’s own 2014 study on sexual abuse found that fully 10% of kids are abused at school, not counting abuse by other students including sexual abuse and bullying, some kids are promoted year to year without ever learning basic skills, many kids have to take remedial math and English in college to get up to speed, suicide rates of teens goes way down during the summer months compared to school months, schools teach to the test, funding is a a problem, California is 44th educationally in the nation, etc. As far as I can see, there is no epidemic of former homeschooled students on welfare or being any sort of drain on the state. Sure, there are bad outcomes... there are with any percentage of childhoods, period. But the advantages of homeschooling, the freedom of being able to choose with your child the kind of educational methods and resources one uses, including how learning happens, and making sure it doesn’t look like school (because that way doesn’t work for everyone), is what makes it amazing. Sure, it doesn’t look like school. It’s not supposed to, and that oversight you speak of is exactly what would kill it and make it Just like school. Which would be a problem because they don’t know what the hell they’re doing most do the time...not exactly the gold standard we should hold up as an example.

IDK about the others but maybe we don’t bring up Minority Report because that system actually worked for the most time. It took a major conspiracy by the chief of police himself to make it frame Tom Cruise’s character. Other than that, murder was basically nonexistent and people were happy.
It has to do with culture. Take traffic precautions. People stop speeding when you place speedbumps. You might need those speedbumps for 5% of traffic users, but it useful. Nobody has claimed that there is a speed dictatorship.

The same goes with moderation. You create a culture where you allow everyone there say, and add specific speedbumps (rules) where your community needs it. Otherwise you get the 5% that overruns the place, skewing the discussion disproportionately.

No I'm asking for you to tell me when systemic racism ended in this country because the crux of your argument is that it has ended and the effects of it historically don't linger today. Can you explain the fact the net worth of a typical white family is $171,000 and the typical net worth of a Black family is $17,150? Are Black people in this country inherently predisposed to making less money or are there systemic reasons for that?

It's odd you continue to focus on crime statistics, something I haven't mentioned at all, as a way to push back on the narrative of systemic racism. For anyone who is Black or a person of color, we know first hand systemic racism is much more than that.

I recently listened to Mikko Hyppönen as the company I work for had invited him to give a talk. It was very interesting.

One thing I hadn't realized before was that ransomware criminals has developed their own backup strategy:

- in addition to encrypting the data they will also exfiltrate it and threaten to publish it ob the internet for everyone to see.

That way it doesn't necessarily help an organization just because they have multiple layers of offsite read-only backups.
Then I don't know what you're getting at. Clearly the most efficient approach would be fitting your performance critical loop into one or at most two consecutive pages making the TLB a moot point.

That's not true. Many people won’t pay for something if they can get it for free reasonably easy.
With all this talk about microplastics in the environment, I was a bit surprised to learn that water cleaning facilities use e.g. "moving bed biofilm reactors" such as "Bioportz" which are small, round, hollow plastic things in moving water.

When seeing those move about and bump onto each other, my immediate thought was to wonder if any environmental microplastic comes off from those through abrasion/wear.

I wonder if pointer arithmetic specifically is the sticking point here; when using pointers in other languages I don't ever do pointer arithmetic on them, so the integral value of the pointer is easily ignored.

For those wondering, given the context of Rust here, both references and C-style pointers are first-class in Rust, but references (which are overwhelmingly more common) don't directly permit pointer arithmetic at all, and would require one to first cast the pointer to an integer.
There are reasons not to use cloud services for backups, not trusting them with your data being a major one. But then you should still be using some kind of internal backup system.

There is no excuse for not having backups.
I have nice looking shirts (that are hardly dated nor much frayed) from 20 years ago.

I find crunchbase, owler, linkedin etc overpriced, and they don't really have that great data especially on emerging startups - there's few hard data points they have, and some bias towards companies who volunteer their data (or investors who do).

If you can narrow down your focus, you can manually download some stuff from crunchbase etc for free.

If that's not enough, it's a good exercise to scrape them. It's not trivial as they are trying to prevent scraping with quite sophisticated techniques. But, since you are a CS major, I think you can figure out ways around it, especially if you are careful and not greedy trying to make copies of everything they have very quickly.

I also think there is some value in looking at the edgar database, I believe some filings are for privately held companies (such as Form D ?)

Anyway, do tell if you find better answers!

At least in Russia law enforcement and organized crime are fully integrated. People join police instead of gangs if the want to get into extortion and racket.

There are exceeding decent people working in law enforcement. I have worked with more than one, to say the least. The people I've met who expressed openly racist sentiments were gone relatively quickly. I can't speak for everyone, but I can say there are actually a whole bunch of people who aren't like what you posit. Perhaps together everyone can center in and eliminate the malcontents instead of this insane "All cops bad" narrative.

I can't say this about everyone I know in law enforcement, but for some (real, not racist) justice is one of their missions in life. There are those who care out there.

When it was local, you'd lose friends for being unpleasant, you'd lose credibility in your community for being inflammatory.

If the Internet is making it easier to be unpleasant, then that's great. I don't think we could have the kind of discussion that we are having as a result of George Floyd's killing if we insisted on being pleasant. The United States was founded by unpleasant and inflammatory people.

I mean, it'd be kinda cool if sea levels would drop and make Ice Age coast lines more accessible; I suspect the new coasts would be an archaeological treasure trove given the likelihood of our ancient ancestors having traveled and lived along the coasts of their time, most of which are now underwater.

Also, I really really hate hot weather, and wouldn't mind it being a fair bit chillier.

What about WordPress? Aren't large, new sites being built on top of it every day?
I want to say that if you’re half-serious about art, spend some time learning these kinds of techniques—how to present artwork without damaging it much.

You will usually have no idea which pieces of art you make or own are the ones that will someday become precious. The artwork may be owned by, a depiction of, or created by someone who disappears from your life. Or you may be that person who disappears from someone else’s life. Or you may realize that the art has something special in it that you can’t replicate.

Art doesn’t last forever but it’s not too much effort to get an easy hundred years out of it, most of the time.

(As a minor note—if you have photographs on fiber-base paper, the techniques for mounting are often a bit different than the ones in the linked article. This is because fiber-base paper has a powerful tendency to curl.)

I'm very curious about what we will be able to do with voice as well. Perhaps you will sync voice profiles from your familiy/friends for better compression or better reconstruction.

We will also see models which will have higher details through incorporating all frames and enhancing existing material. We see this already anyway in gaming as well.

The real problem is that you have > 100 binaries which depend on those libraries, and instead of having the library authors go and update the library, you need each team responsible for one or more binaries to go and take the new library and release a new version of their binary.

This is a solvable problem. Package managers such as Nix and Guix rebuild packages if any of their transitive dependencies have been changed.

The difficult part are now language-specific ecosystems that use lock files to lock all their dependencies. Traditional C/C++ programs, either statically linked or dynamically linked, have a dependency graph such that e.g. each program that uses OpenSSL has the same package definition in their transitive dependencies. However, e.g. Rust programs may have different versions of the same crate locked.

(There are solutions to that, but there is still work to be done.)
Oh man... that’s a shame. Iconic bit of design, up there with the smiley face, just above the LOVE statues.
Yes. It is a notable cause, however, when companies stop trying to make the best product they can and instead, try to change the world .. it is a little too much. There is more to this story, companies could care less about any of that emotional stuff, they are essentially psychopaths/sociopaths.

The technician found a wasp's nest where the fiber entered the customer's house and the wasps had chewed right through the fiber. I suppose it was surprising because glass is not a particularly soft substance -- with the right tools, sure, you can cut it, but it was surprising that wasps could cut it.

B. Why is Facebook overly concerned with the US elections, but not overly concerned with the Taiwanese, German, Indian, or any other elections? As a global platform it seems sad that they are paying so much extra attention to the US than democracies everywhere else.

I think you are right. I like to compare moderation to speed bumps in streets. Not even the crazies on Facebook have claimed there is a speed dictatorship. Or that it is a left or right wing conspiracy. That’s because it is a very useful tool.

We need those speedbumps on the internet, ie moderation. Most people are not well versed in discussion or engaging into critical thought.

One speedbump could be we don’t allow for recommendation algorithms anymore.
