Unless you work for an absolutely tiny company that outsources all of its financial operations, you’re absolutely wrong. If you have an info sec team, they’re monitoring you. If you don’t have an info sec team and you’re not at an absolutely tiny company, like others have said there is a third party monitoring you.

Payment Card Industry (PCI) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations both require centralized logging and review of those logs for audit reasons.

Basically if your company provides health insurance or processes payments, your activity on all corporate machines are being aggregated and monitored. Even GDPR has a loophole for information security monitoring.
+1 Any trading strategy based only on price is fool’s errand. The information that impacts price need to be included in the trading strategy. A lot of short term price movement is news driven, thus unstructured text processing of news, social media, relevant documents will be a key component of such trading strategies.

I am not that familiar with forex market compared to equity market. But I expect forex to be impacted by changes in political and economic situational news of host countries of relevant currency pairs. All these need to be coded into forex trading strategies.

If trading based on just price was so simple , everybody would be doing it successfully.

I’d just like to point out that the number of people who believe something has zero real bearing on that thing being true. I’m not saying it’s irrelevant in all avenues of study, but in terms of a thing being true, it is indeed irrelevant. So we have to be careful about shaming each other for not following the majority.
Where I would disagree is when I think about Xbox and PS2, they had hardware to be media centers. They had compelling region locked content that just couldn't be used. Hacking any of that meant hacking all of that, and now you could also download games which was faster and more convenient than going to the store. And play Japanese games you couldn't get anyway.

Future generations of consoles made that default behavior, and games are released in multiple continents at the same time with their respective localization. American flagship games are now more appealing and engaging than their Japanese counterparts.

Its not just the money.

That's fair. It's definitely a tradeoff. I guess I'm sensitive to it because I strongly value freedom of speech and the right to privacy, and generally like governments having as little power as possible (to lower instances of abuse). I realize that you have to draw a line somewhere, though, and I don't have enough data to make any judgement on whether something like this is necessary. But in any case, I certainly hope it isn't!
I mean, it's probably best not to talk politics at a bar in the first place.
Genericity. It is the C++ templates that make the language an invaluable tool for implementing, efficiently, numeric algorithms in general and calculations with matrices in particular. (That, and operator overloading for aesthetics: you’d want to be able to write A + B for their sum.)
Fair enough. I remembered the limited menus, but I had forgotten that part of the story about the food being already on the delivery vehicle when you ordered. The marginal costs for additional orders still applies. Unless you're taking a lot of bulk orders - say for lunch at an office - each order adds food and delivery costs. There's also the risk that you make too many of something that no one wants, and it gets tossed.

With having to predict the demand, there was the issue (also coming back to me now) that they would often not have a lot of choices left after a short time. The food was sometimes very good, but it was often so-so and too much the same. Or conversely, something that was really good the last time you ordered was no longer available. All of that added up to a certainly level of frustration.
In some markets it is necessary to put the same length of fiber-optic cable between the colocated servers, so that being closer to the exchange's cabinet doesn't translate into an advantage. So obviously we're talking about extremely low latency, high-frequency trading. This carries a huge amount of prerequisites to even get started.

Not only are that, but there are many different order types besides "buy at market price, sell at market price". Then there's options, short sales, and more.

It goes deep. People devote 30 years of their career to this. Read the authors experience as a kind of warning, if you will.

Realistically, the US should not be debating whether its response was the worst in the world, or merely e.g. the 10th worst in the world. Both are shocking outcomes for such a highly-developed economy.

The US has, for the most part, extensive resources with which a global pandemic can be managed. It has money, people, manufacturing capability, research centres, and medical facilities. But the country has catastrophically mismanaged this challenge, and this is almost entirely for political reasons. Over 100k people are dead – it's a bad outcome, and we should be looking at why that bad outcome happened and what can be done to fix it.

I live in the UK – another country which has also badly mismanaged this pandemic. The reasons are a little bit different, but it does seem pretty startlingly obvious to be that the underlying problem is the same – you cannot solve a real-world problem by pretending it does not exist. The UK failed its response because it spent too much time on political management and lying to itself, and not enough time on dealing with problems and being honest about them. The same applies to the US, and it's honestly absolutely breathtaking the number of perspectives I have seen that want to apologise for this.

> Someone still has to work to produce the food that UBI wastrels consume. Please, explain to me why we should feed everyone for free? What gives them the right to commandeer someone else's labour while they languish?

Right now, tens of millions of people in the US alone are unemployed through no fault of their own. To characterise them as "languishing" is ridiculous (and most unemployment rates only take into account people who are actively looking for work, as a measure to make a government's numbers look better). It is simply a fact that capitalism as a system cannot function with 0% unemployment because there would be no job market. Thus, there will always be people who are willing to work but don't have a job.

To me, it is fundamentally unethical to have an underclass of people who cannot afford food or shelter while their "fellow citizens" have an excess of resources. We are not an island, we live in a society and rising unemployment and homelessness hurts us all. But even if it had no impact on you or me, we should still help people who need it.

Not to mention that the actual producers of foods and products are still being paid with money, so I don't get why you think any aspect of this is related to the "right to commandeer someone else's labour" (in most countries the government actually does have that power, but that's a different topic).

> All of these schemes to shift taxes here and burdens there ultimately just have the effect of making it so that the people who do work and do produce value are shouldering the burden for everyone else. You can print money, but you cannot print calories.

Any economic system has at least some people who generally do not produce things -- babies and the elderly. In capitalism, you also have the unemployed. One of the goals of economic systems is to determine how value created by those who work is distributed to those who don't. Placing a value judgement on the need for this redistribution makes no sense. It's like saying a boulder is lazy because it only chooses to go downhill.
Nice attempt to distract from the recent Project Veritas documentary showing how FB manipulates content and suppresses conservatives.
Is it interesting? It's pretty obvious that all people and all companies cannot be upset about all things all of the time.

The fact that some people and some companies get upset about some things some of the time is actually a massive improvement over how it was in the 90's and earlier. A sea change.
If the spike corresponds with the start of the protests, this is evidence that it's unrelated – because we'd expect a substantial lag.

> I wonder if we'll therefore see a replacement for Intel's QPI if they switch to chiplets too.

I think Intel's trying to ensure they have the advanced packaging/interposer/bridge tech to handle wide parallel connections between chiplets. If it works out, they might even end up moving in the opposite direction—toward wider interconnects rather than narrower.
> All Linux/BSD systems I've used can update in minutes at the most

But they naively schedule those minutes immediately after I've logged in, so the CPU and network is pegged and the disk thrashed while I'm sitting there cursing.

Even waiting 10 minutes after login before checking for updates would be more tolerable.

If firms have to raise wages for workers with low bargaining power (i.e. low wage menial workers) that's a positive outcome of the policy.

If they outsource or automate jobs and thus become more profitable we would always have the option to raise the UBI, because after all they can afford it then.

It's true that on the long end 35mm full-frame lenses are significantly larger and heavier than micro-four thirds lenses. However, most people don't shoot extremely long lenses most of the time (and when they do they can afford to use a lighter f4 lens because larger sensors have better noise peformance). Compare Tamron 28-75 f2.8 for Sony E mount (550 g) with Olympus 12-40 f2.8 (382 g). That's only 168 g (44%) more for a lens that lets in >3.5x more light. If you wanted to take portraits with very shallow depth of field with Olympus (possible with the Tamron lens), you would have to buy a dedicated prime (and one could always find a brighter prime, often for a used one for much less money in the 35mm full-frame world).

Even on the long end, advancements from Canon/Nikon/Sony (such as DO and PF lenses as well as very high-resolution sensors with excellent noise performance) meant that Olympus' advantage was disappearing. For example, all 300mm lenses with the same aperture share the same design and similar size. And yet 300mm f4 from Olympus weighs 1,474 g while 300mm f4 PF from Nikon weighs only 755 g -- twice less. Yes yes it's true that the Olympus comes with a 2x magnification factor. However one can make that up by using a camera with a very high-resolution sensor (such as the one in Z-7) or simply by using a teleconverter and taking advantage of higher noise performance of the full-frame sensor.

Ultimately the reason micro-four-thirds lenses were lighter was not because the system was better -- they were lighter because they were dimmer. The fact that this was not mentioned in most marketing materials made Olympus and Panasonic look quite bad -- and many interested prosumers (like myself) had felt the company was lying to them.
I agree with your stance but Edge is already like the new IE. Chrome is more like old Firefox being open source with much higher market share. If you work in a hospital setting Edge is still the most popular and has different features that only Edge supports at times.
This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have heard this year. How could you possibly have come up with something that brain-dead?

That is an opinion. It is your opinion. I happen to have a very different opinion. It may be surprising to you, but surprise doesn't mean that it is trivially wrong.

Experience has taught me that if you have good content, then you have something worthwhile to say if I can get past the form. But, by contrast, someone who only has good form has nothing worthwhile to say. The more I you dig in, the less value that there is to find.

Obviously having both form and content is better than only having one. But if I have to choose one, I will choose to surround myself with people who have good content. Every time.

Is this how you normally are, or did you have to reach deep into your mind to find the most inane thing you could possibly say and pollute Hacker News with it? Goodness, I hope so. I don't even want to think about the possibility that you are this clueless in real life. I pity those that have to interact with you.

My assumption is that Windows users are notoriously bad at applying updates, either because they are not aware of them or believe that they know better than Microsoft.

But plenty of us do know better than Microsoft. For example, I'm typing this on a Windows PC with no telemetry and no forced updates. I'm perfectly OK with determining that I don't need those privacy, security and reliability risks without any help from Microsoft.

Infinity fabric isn't serial.

Wikichip [1] says there are two versions of infinity fabric (which is a super-set of HyperTransport), one optimised for on-package communication that is 32 bits wide, and one optimised for inter-socket communication that is 16bits wide.

I'm not a hardware person, just a software person who dabbles in hardware, so I don't know if the term "SerDes" strongly implies serial and AMD have misused it here, or if SerDes is generic enough to apply to any SERialisation/DESerialisation.

But still, I think you are on the right track. The investment and development into low power, high-speed, and low-latency on-package links is probably what has enabled chiplets to become relevant now.

Because multi-chip modules have always existed.

Its a purpose one could use Tor for.

You can use Tor to circumvent firewalls or NAT (e.g. SSH tunneling, or avoiding proxies and censorship).

You can use Tor to ensure Facebook or Wikipedia does not have your IP address (you might not trust the admins).

You can use Tor to provide others the above mentioned benefits.

And in an authoritarian country such as China, trying to hide from the authorities (as you put it "national secret police") makes sense quite quickly as so much is forbidden. That being said, Tor was not designed to make you hide from the "national secret police"; at least not specifically (and which nation anyway?). IIRC it started out as a project by the US military.
