Python's Range() vs. Xrange() Functions
A couple years ago, after a long-winded process seeing it's inventor drop out of the process in frustration, Open ID Connect was poised to become the portable authentification/identity mechanism of choice for logging in using Fb's, Google's, and other provider's (Apple's/icloud's?) user base. I still don't fully understand what has happened to the few interworking initiatives that were created in the 2010s compared to the 2000s. I mean, using Fb and Google as identity provider has maybe its own set of issues, but the expectations we had towards tech were markedly different in that proprietary protocols were universally rejected.
Appreciate your reasonable responses. It's of course possible that they change the security level at times especially if the Forbidden City was closed as you say. It likely also changes around the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Examining my own feelings on this matter further, I think I had a sense that the security at the Eiffel was very focused on keeping weapons and bombs out, while the focus at Tiananmen was more on controlling the crowd and tracking who was there. For example the police station and armored vehicles were inside the square. At the Eiffel the security was outside only.
If you are under the impression to.buy something "new" and "experimental", you are more willing to put ok over the shortcomings. When you buy a Ford, VW, BMW, Fiat, Toyota, you expect it to work perfectly because it's "old tech". When you buy a Tesla, you expect it to behave a little wonky sometimes because it's new and exciting except that it's basically exactly the same just with electric motors.

The downvotes sure came quickly on my original post.

My point was that we don't refer to AMD CPU's as "Authentic AMD" in general speech. However, in Apple's case they have succeeded in promoting their own narrative.

I understand that this happens, but I was just intrigued by the fact that they managed to do it. The difference in terms does have a subtle effect in conversation however.
That’s the issue. Samsung sells a lot of low end crap under the Galaxy brand also. If they didn’t, their ASP wouldn’t be so low.

https://www.gizchina.com/2020/06/14/the-average-selling-pric...

The article is bragging that the ASP of all Samsung phones is $292. That’s $100 lower than the lowest cost iPhone.

Apple also captures 66% Of mobile profits.

>Identity can’t be “imposed,” come on. Personhood is continuous across time and space.

I'm not talking about "identity" as in "being somebody".

I'm talking about identity as in identification, documents, and so on -- which is what we were discussing (as in "identity provider" in software terms).
In a 2013 interview, Intel's Paul Otellini had already come to see that refusing to enter the mobile device market was a mistake.

>It was the only moment I heard regret slip into Otellini's voice during the several hours of conversations I had with him. "The lesson I took away from that was, while we like to speak with data around here, so many times in my career I've ended up making decisions with my gut, and I should have followed my gut," he said. "My gut told me to say yes."

Not at all. I literally gave you an example. Plenty of articles are about a topic people are sufficiently knowledgeable about to be able to discuss it at length without reading the article in question.

> It sounds like while you didn't read the article, you read the thing you were commenting on, though--this isn't really the thing I'm criticizing.

I'd suggest that at least 40% of comments on HN threads are discussion about the greater topic in general rather than the specific article itself. While this type of discussion can also include people who are commenting while uninformed, that doesn't mean that anyone who hasn't read the linked piece is uninformed about the topic. There are very few topics where there is literally only one singular article about it that is required reading to be considered "knowledgable".

Totally agree. HAproxy is an incredible piece of software. It is both extremely fast, and very versatile, which is a rare combination. The 2.2 release checks off almost every item on my haproxy wishlist, which makes me very happy.

Except even the article acknowledges that the stick's just doing the job that fins normally would do on other rockets. I know from first-hand (well, 1.5 hands; my stepdad was the one building and launching, and I was just there to watch and occasionally help out) that model rockets are capable of putting some decently-heavy payloads quite a ways into the air without a 20-30 foot long stick, and while model rockets are typically designed to be a lot sturdier than bottle rockets, they're also typically designed to be reused whereas bottle rockets are not (if such a requirement didn't exist, then they could be built to disintegrate and explode in the air, and be dirt cheap).

While I can't seem to find any specific rules from the FAA, Tripoli, or NAR specifically prohibiting the launch of a rocket that deliberately explodes in mid-air, my impression from my recollections of talking to expert rocketeers at launches (and asking them the sorts of questions a 10-year-old might reasonably ask, like "can I launch a rocket from an RC plane?" or "Can I launch a rocket from another rocket?") is that this would be thoroughly frowned upon my launch officials and/or regulatory bodies, and if the rocket exceeds the specifications for "Class 1" it'd require prior FAA authorization (and I can't imagine "Hey I'm gonna strap an H motor to this explosive ball and hope for the best" to go well on that front).
Usually I've observed release is used by automated systems and debug locally. If you're not managing the automation or working closely with those people, you're less likely to see those complaints but they definitely exist.

@LeifCarrotson

You are making the mistake of taking a hypothetical and arguing against it. These are contrived examples designed to communicate a concept rather than an absolute reality that one should argue against.

I'll just say that it is very common to see comments relating to hardware issues on HN from people who obviously don't have experience building hardware at scale. And so, it is hard to discuss these things due to the asymmetry of knowledge and experience.

Any non-trivial hardware development and manufacturing operation has or should have professional supply chain management. It is their responsibility to ensure they build product as designed by engineers. If the hardware engineer specified an FTDI chip he or she did not mean "anything that is labeled similarly to FTDI". No, they meant to design in an FTDI chip. Anything else could fail or perform differently at any time.

Blame for the bricking of devices given a change of driver code isn't with FTDI, it is with whoever manufactured the product that was supposed to use FTDI chips and did not.

Let's also mention the very real potential for someone knowingly using clone chips in order to save money.

It is preposterous to charge the chip manufacturer with this responsibility.

There could be many tentacles to this kind of an issue, but the manufacturer ensuring that their drivers only work correctly with their chips isn't anti-consumer at all, quite to the contrary.

Yet another angle: The crappy clone manufacturer --who could not care less about the consumer-- make a bad chip and it is the responsibility of the legitimate manufacturer to write the drivers and ensure it works well? In what alternate reality is that reasonable or required?
You're right that the research on these fonts is mixed. After receiving many feature request emails from users, I offered OpenDyslexic in my browser plugin that helps people read more easily (and which has been picked up as an assistive technology for people with dyslexia).

I think the reason these fonts are popular with some people with dyslexia is that they are heavier (thicker lines) and have more space between characters. For some people, including people with visual impairments, these features make reading easier. This is especially the case if the alternative is some super-thin font that is dark grey, against a light grey background.

I've seen discussions in the WCAG (web accessibility) community and other community around how to make reading easier for neurodiverse populations. Unfortunately, most of what I've seen has been along the lines of "don't use big words" and "use short/simple sentences". While this is all well and good for some uses cases, it is not practical advice if your app is an ebook reader or your website talks about complex financial instruments.

Fortunately, there are some layout-related things that you can do to make text more inclusively designed, and you can check out the Center for Applied Special Technologies' website for an interactive demo. [1] Full disclosure, one of the technologies they feature was created by my startup, BeeLine Reader. Let me know if you want to try out our JS on your site — contact info is in my profile.

PS: the commercial font you reference is "Dyslexie", not "Dyslexia". A common typo, I'm sure!

Convolutional networks and neural nets in general are cool, but hardly magical. It’s just glorified curve-fitting. A person from the 1800’s would not be all that impressed with the idea.

Higher education is complicated to analyze partially because it fills so many roles simultaneously, the big three probably being network-building, credentialing, and teaching. Others in this thread have pointed out that there are increasingly many low-cost options to replace the teaching component, but to my knowledge, nothing has really stepped up to provide near-free networking or credentialing.

I suspect that if there were a demonstrably more reliable way to quickly judge employee quality from a resume than looking at alma mater, employers would eventually switch to using that, but it's not clear to me what that would be.

It comes from reality:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00148-017-0636-1

"We present life cycle estimates of the potential fiscal impact of immigration considering the cost of immigration on the margin as well as on average. The main conclusion is that immigrants from Western countries have a positive fiscal impact, while immigrants from non-Western countries have a large negative one, which is also the case when considering only non-refugee immigrants. The negative effect is caused by both a weak labour market performance and early retirement in combination with the universal Danish welfare schemes."

This is why more sensible European countries (like Denmark) have begun aggressive assimilation schemes, and steps to reduce immigration.

I'm 99% sure that historically speaking, the OP is correct. Wikipedia's introduction to NAFTA sums up my recollection:

> The impetus for a North American free trade zone began with U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who made the idea part of his 1980 presidential campaign. After the signing of the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement in 1988, the administrations of U.S. president George H. W. Bush, Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney agreed to negotiate what became NAFTA. Each submitted the agreement for ratification in their respective capitals in December 1992, but NAFTA faced significant opposition in both the United States and Canada. All three countries ratified NAFTA in 1993 after the addition of two side agreements, the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC) and the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC).

Politically speaking, NAFTA passed in the Clinton administration because he was able to get enough Democrats on board. To this day, free trade doesn't seem to be strongly supported on the left, in part because it's not strongly supported by unions; it's mostly strongly supported by economists, think tanks, and publications that might be characterized more as centrist (the Council on Foreign Relations), center-right (The Economist) or libertarian. I'm not entirely sure why American conservatives in particular moved so strongly against it in the last two decades.
It's short, readable and doesn't use any frameworks.
> There is an acceptable risk because we already accept the risk from children being vectors for spreading annual seasonal diseases that do end up killing adults and children.

This seems to be a common thought, but it is an error to assume that incidence of death = acceptance of death.

The truth is, the socially and politically acceptable incidence of death from seasonal communicable diseases is 0. Yes, deaths still occur, but that is in spite of absolutely tremendous investment of resources to try our very best to get it down to 0.

To pick on the flu, for example, there is no tactic or resource that we have available that we have not deployed. We have invested many $billions to create an annual national vaccination program that aims for 100% uptake and is even backed by a special liability regime to manage lawsuit risk. It is the largest vaccine program we have for any disease.

We have also invested (and continue to invest) additional $billions in studying every aspect of the disease, how it invades the body, how it spreads, how it harms people, etc. We have spent even more to create public awareness of flu symptoms, treatments, and appropriate behaviors.

The fundamental difference between the flu and COVID-19 is the possibility of significant asymptomatic or presymptomatic contagion. With the flu, you're not really contagious until you are symptomatic, so getting people (including kids) to stay home when they feel sick does as much good as a lockdown would. We don't really know for sure with COVID-19. So far it seems like a big possibility, hence the emphasis on masks, separation, stay at home, etc.

Also unlike the flu, we don't know what COVID-19 does to the human body. We don't know how long post-infection immunity lasts, and we don't know what chronic ailments might linger with survivors.

The reality is that we can't compare it with "other threats of similar risk" because we don't know what the risk is yet. That's why it is appropriate for the current response to COVID-19 to differ from the way we fight the flu and other more well-understood communicable diseases.
x86 has nothing to do with this. x86 decode is a tiny portion of the area on a modern x86 chip. It’s all mapped onto fixed length ops early in the pipeline (and these days, cached in that form) and registers are remapped using hardware you need for out of order execution anyway. The fact that AMD outperformed Intel isn’t “telling”—it disproves your point.

Intel’s recent setbacks are due to its process engineering. Intel counts on being one or two steps ahead in the process front. They stumbled with 10mm and that caused the whole development pipeline to seize up. They have a next gen architecture (Sunny Cove) that is stuck on a bad 10nm process, and a prior-gen architecture that’s stuck on a very good but dated 14nm process.

One option might be to help Americans get into or find good foreign colleges, like NUS, University of Melbourne, or the IITs. Break the monopoly. Many foreign countries hold that education is a human right and try not to charge too much.
