Brilliant comment.

And the fact that most of the responses to you are confused by it shows how ludicrous it is. And yet when someone uses that exact same reasoning in a different context people are somehow unable to see its absurdity and vehemently agree with it.
I believe that tracking pixels are just tied to something like a URL with a UUID as part of the filename/pathing.

When an email is opened, the browser within the email client is told to render and that then invokes a request against a webserver hosting the tracking pixels, creative images, etc.. and that is when the tracking is marked as open in the mailflow. The email is usually modified during preparation for sending with these tracking "pixels".

I see nothing wrong with "lending a movie" to someone.. But how often does the "lent" movie ever get "returned" ( read: deleted )? If not your analogy breaks down and it becomes the same as physically copying a VHD/DVD/CD.
I think it's AD/DA conversion product lines that are really driving profitability - and I suspect mainly the RF stuff.

20.4 for desktop and 18.04 for servers. It has its issues but you're most likely to find a quick solution for it compared to the rest.

Though during my experiments I did find that clear linux does give you an amazing performance boost but it falls short on usability and big community support so decided to pass but its definitely something to check out.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I feel the same way about h1b visas. I wish instead of importing cheap labor we spent extra money and trained people in the African American community that don't have as many opportunities.
Earlier this year there was a case where someone was accessing illegal stuff (as in, the sort of stuff that does warrant police kicking their door down at 4am) using public WiFi.

Except the ISP had forgotten to take into account daylight savings time and given the police the wrong customer's details. Oops.
Is this an eye-opener for Intel? I think not. So, then, what's the point (other than to vent one's frustration)?

I mean you're saying "tens of billions" like it's a large chunk but the same estimates showing 61 billion from all billing (not just app sales) are showing half a trillion dollars from the App Store alone in total

So yes, app sales are a pittance when it comes to the revenue the App Store generates, let alone what Apple generates.

For >= 256 bit operations you need to decide to commit to them or not. If you go all-in on them and use them well, you will get the same work in less time and less joules than without them. If they won't help, don't use them. But, popping in and using them for tiny bits would be the slow and hot worst of both worlds.

If you want to use rust, and can achieve fast enough performance by simply buying some newfangled threadripper machine with a boat load of ram, what difference does it make?

The OP sounded like they wanted to use rust except for this one issue of compilation being too slow for their development style.

How fast is fast enough and is that achievable just by throwing some money at the machine?

Perfect is the enemy of good enough as they say.

When I was young and stupid (at least more than now) I did some pranks using dormitory server, and knew that I should clean bash history (actually using a single space before command did that).

But what I didn't know was that vim also has a history of commands :) server admin wasn't happy.
That is a very fitting quote indeed.
Be careful with this, your ISP can easily record the NAT translations and going to your ISP with a connection 5-tuple would be enough to track it back to you.
Yup.

I had the same IP address for the entire 3 years I lived in an apartment. Even telling my router to release and renew the IP would still give me the same IP. Only when I moved to a new house (and still used the same ISP) did my IP change.
Yeah, at this most recent COVID bottom, HN was saying that buying was like catching a falling knife, that the average recession dropped n% more, that it was going to get worse. I am very glad I ignored HN commentary.

To be pedantic, Intel does have phone and tablet processors. This doesn't invalidate your point however. I can't easily find a breakdown of mobile cpu market share but I am guessing Intel isn't doing very well.

I forget the name, but there was one company that bought properties throughout the US after the 2008 market crash - we are talking about hundreds of thousands of properties here, massive scale.

I remember (2014 or so) looking for apartments in some places in NYC - I went to multiple buildings before it struck me that they were all owned by the same company. I've been a renter all my life and the situation is not good for renters.

I don't care if the super rich have mega mansions and million dollar cars. It is when they start monopolizing essential resources like water, housing etc that it becomes a serious issue.

Another thing I noticed on HN - HN doesn't seem to like landlords being criticized, I guess many people here are well off and are landlords themselves. I do not understand why a person should be allowed to own multiple houses, just because they can afford it.

There is a German town that bought apartment buildings from private companies to take charge of the out of control rent. Maybe it is time for such measures.

After healthcare, housing (mortgage or rent) is how you keep a large percentage of the population chained to their jobs and control them easily. It is also the reason tiny house movement is taking off in other countries. In the US, legislation is a bottleneck for tiny houses. Who wants to be a slave to banks for 30+ years just to have a roof over one's head (assuming one can get a loan in the first place)?

I see where you're coming from. The good news is that compile times are something we are certain will get better. Rust's maintainers know it's a high priority, but even if they didn't, we would still benefit from increasingly powerful machines used for graphics/gaming development.

The current annual cost for Harvard is US$50,420. So the other poster who said many are more than double is, well, off by a bit. So the "best" University (by their own marketing) is about 60% higher. The University of Utah where I live is about US$10,000 a year. The UC school system in California is at about US$14,000 a year. A good online school system like Western Governors University is about US$6000.

The problem is quite like the post above you said. It's loans. Students, with very little information or guidance are handed tens of thousands of US dollars a year to "pay for school". They can do any program, pay for any housing, pay for any food (my son in his first semester racked up a $7000 food bill, because cafe's took student food cards). Schools take advantage of the monstrous amount of debt students can get into.

There is no reason why a student needs to be tied down if they make smart decisions. The problem is the same today as when I was 18. 18 year old college students aren't always making smart decisions.

He might be right. There is a considerable work being done currently on Bitcoin to improve it's transaction throughput, speed, privacy and fees. Once it's done, in a year or two, Bitcoin will have great utility as a modern form of money.
Is there a good book that explains all the BT technology? I’d like to use or build a robust client/server but most learning materials seem to be trivial or daunting.

True. But even decoding a variable length instruction set with just two lengths is far easier than decoding x86.

With T32 you just look at bits 15-13. If they are 111, it's a 32bit instruction. If they are anything else, it's a 16 bit instruction.

x86 is somewhat insane.
Instructions can be any length from 1 to 15 bytes, and thanks to prefix bytes, the bits that specify the length can be found at any byte offset and might be spread over multiple bytes and interact with each other.

Even for 15 byte instructions, the 15th byte can tell the difference between "this is a valid 15 byte instruction" or "this instruction is actually 16 bytes long and therefore invalid"

If consumers are keeping up, there will be no reads to the BookKeeper layer as the Pulsar broker will serve from memory.

When reads need to go to BookKeeper there are caches there too, with read-aheads to populate the cache to avoid going back to disk regularly.

Even when having to go to disk, there are further optimizations in how data is laid out on disk to ensure as much sequential reading as possible.

Also note that the fragments aren't necessarily that small either.

Say you want to tell your mom once you safely reach school (via public transport). But you don't actually want to spend the money on a call or text (India did not have "unlimited text", at least when I was growing up there). So your mom and you agree on a protocol that "one missed call means I reached safely". Now you just call her and disconnect immediately. Message received.
Good work.

It's to be also noted that you live in a country, where ISPs understood what you were telling, understood its urgency, communicated properly with the affected party and remedied it within hours.

There are countries where, in order to talk to a person who understands there is a public facing IP camera it will take extraordinary effort at best and at worst you will be termed 'hacker' for visiting the 'Insecam' website and police will knock on your door within next couple of months to a year; Now good luck finding someone in the police who will listen to you and actually understands it.

Introduction to Econometrics with R
The power-switch that controls "on" vs "off" needs to be incredibly efficient when you're shoving 200+ kW of energy through it!!

Yeah, when I was working in EVs everything was about reducing losses. Not just for efficiency but because a few percent loss is a LOT of heat.

I ran an inverter at 200kW that was not rated for that. The weak point was actually the DC connector. I didn't find that out the hard way, just looked it up as I was closing in on 600 Amps DC.

BTW I just needed to find 2 values empirically and was unable to because of that DC current. Strange enough I figured running at a lower voltage would reduce max power and I could get my values. Unfortunately half the voltage is half the power but still the same current. Higher speed had similar issues. Project got cancelled before I found that motors limits.

I don't see any data for adult infections. That's what we're concerned about mostly when opening schools. That the kids will infect the adults who will infect each other. I can't believe they have the audacity to publish this paper and its conclusions which clearly cannot be drawn from the data presented. This is pure and utter garbage, garbage that will be used by idiots to make policy decisions that will kill people unnecessarily. The paper should be retracted and peer reviewers should rip it up. What idiocy.
A bit of a premium? I'd say their prices are an insult to their customers. It's not even new chips where you'd expect this as they need to recoup NRE. Oh no, they price gouge on designs that are decades old.

Avoid them at all cost.
> In case people aren't aware, the Indian mobile sector was one of the cheapest and most pioneering markets of its time.

Not sure in what way you mean pioneering but it was definitely not the cheapest! Everything cost money. Text messages, phone calls, data, roaming between states, out-of-state phone calls. Everything. All this in addition to the cost of the cell phone itself - no bundled offers with phone like AT&T did with Apple in the US.

Furthermore, you could get away with a connection from private companies like Airtel and Vodafone if you lived in a big city. Rural coverage by these players was notoriously bad. The only substitute available was the one provided by the government itself - BSNL - which got a reputation of having the "best coverage".

All that changed dramatically when Reliance came up with a Rs.500 phone which included a connection with free unlimited calls between two Reliance phones. That was the beginning of true mass adoption of cell phones in India.

> People created the 0 cost phone call - farmers and mobile users could give a missed call to a number they heard on the radio, and then they would get a call back.

This is not an example of a model working well. This is an example of a workaround to mitigate high call costs.
> Because they have them by the balls.

Not really, like you mentioned in some ML/HPC contexts GPU computing with commonly Nvidia GPU is a better solution in the desktop marked AMD's recent CPU's are viable alternatives and that also applies for many usages in the server marked. And on mobile, well Intel CPUs never did really compete. Same for game consoles. Oh and for low power embedded systems it's often ARM and for thinks which also need GPU (self driving cars) it's ARM+Nvidea.

I mean sure parts of server the server marked are build on things like Intels (not so) secure enclave and then for some gaming workloads Intel CPU's still beat AMD and for not supper expensive software dev. workstations Intel also still is the best choice as the current CPU+embedded GPU chips from AMD for desktop still use their old CPU.

Through on thing which shouldn't be forgotten is that they have their hands in a lot of other things including:

- FPGA, if you use certain ML algorithm a lot putting them onto a FPGA can be a massive power and time saver. So the Intel CPU + FPGA are quite interesting for such cases.

- Graphics, Intel is about to bring out a dedicated graphic card. Probably not interesting for high end usages but it might be a use-full solution for budged setups or GPU servers (It's often monetary better to have multiple smaller cards then one big cards, it's not uncommon for GPU server to have Nvidea 2080ties instead of Quadros etc.).

- Hard drives, Optan "SSD" are not very well marked but while they are not necessary the fastest SSD's they have good latencies which can make them preferable for some use-cases.

- ...

Another thing which can be beneficial for them in the coming 10 years is that they do not depend on TSCM.

One funny thing I noticed is that Intel can build a good part of a computer today: CPU + GPU + Motherboard + Network Card + Drives + FPGA + OS (Clear Linux), so add RAM, PSU, Cooling, Cables & Case and you have a Intel only desktop ;-)
Is this true?

As I explained in another post, I used to work at a small ISP many years ago. We did not monitor anything, but we did get emails from MPAA people (my memory is a little fuzzy) about an IP downloading a something. We would then pass it on to our customer.
Where to begin? A better question is what's not wrong with Confluence?

When I log in, it shows me a shit ton of articles that I have no interest in. It's like a Facebook feed, or something, where every document everyone in my (1,000+ people) org has written in the last 24 hours is sorted reverse-chronologically. Since I only need to interface with about 10 people normally, this is worse than useless. It actually make finding stuff harder.

But never mind that, how do I find just what I've written? Somewhere there's a list of "recently worked on" things, and that's sometimes useful, but I usually need to edit something I haven't touched in months. I end up having to search all of our Confluence instead of just being able to search only my own articles. It often brings up completely unrelated things and I have to do more work to figure out which are relevant.

When editing, their editor steals OS keys that are used for every app, like Cmd-F for find. Instead of bringing up Safari's find panel, which is 100% always what I want, it brings up their own home-grown find that doesn't actually search the entire page. It only searches the text I'm editing and often does a poor job of it. Other command-keys are also highjacked meaning I can't do normal things like create a new window when editing text. It's bonkers bad.

The calendar section becomes unusable once you have more than about 3 people adding stuff to it. The list goes on and on. I'm actually shocked that anyone here is defending it.

> tens of thousands of dollars to support 1 Linux machine

I think you're several orders of magnitude off here, but let's assume for the sake of argument that this is even closer to accurate.

(Last place I worked gave us the choice of having a Linux desktop. I'm pretty sure the admins only touched my box twice during 5 years: the initial install, and the upgrade to CentOS 7.)

Searching for another qualified candidate will cost them even more tens of thousands of dollars, plus an unspecified but surely significant amount of both wall-clock time and man-hours.
When I say interest I mean money for money transactions, like savings accounts in banks or bonds where the return is set ahead of time and is practically guaranteed (i.e. usury). Investing is fine since it can incur a gain or loss.
The time to compile these small web apps is not worth worrying about after the initial compile. I'm not sure what he's getting at to be honest. While it's certainly not instant, it's not that bad.
