Hello, I'm part of the Linode staff and wanted to help clear this up. The reason we block SMTP ports is to prevent spam email abuse from new accounts. This applies to all new accounts in every datacenter.

The blog post shared by detero sums it up, and while this is also mentioned in some of our documentation, it can easily be missed if you don't need those documents during setup (linked below for reference).

> Do we know what really went wrong at Intel?

Now this doesn't come from any position of authority or knowledge of the industry but if I had to guess I'd say their problem has been twofold: shareholder value and lack of competition.

Intel, for years, has been the standard choice for the datacenter: AMD never really had a look in there. As a result, Intel has still been making tons of money for years and, by extension, the shareholders have also been making it too so there hasn't been any real reason to take too many risks or change direction especially as AMD was a fraction of the size.

AMD have only just recently (last couple of years) been an actual, quantifiable, threat to them so, if I had to guess, Intel are in a bit of a panic as the world makes a slow shift to AMD (possibly ARM and more specialized chips too!).

I can imagine that the lead time for chip designs is measured in years so Intel can't just make a massive direction change overnight, hence the reason to ask for external help.

Time will tell if this turns out to be a brilliant move for Intel...
That's not true in my experience -- at least in the Netherlands. My friends and family have wages that would be considered low in the US, but they live very comfortable lives and many of them work four days a week.

I looked it up and the average work week in the Netherlands is apparently 29 hours a week [0]. The average inheritance in the Netherlands is €23K [1], and as another commenter mentioned many people don't receive an inheritance until they're in their 40s or 50s.

So many people in the Netherlands are able to live a comfortable live while working part-time, without having to
rely on an inheritance.

EDIT: However, as you pointed out, rising housing costs are an increasing issue in the Netherlands. The issue is that not enough houses are being built. I hope that that's something that'll be addressed soon.

One of the best uses of footnotes is in Softwar, the book on Ellison & Oracle. There, footnotes are an entertaining editorial compromise: the author refused to give up final approval, but he gave Ellison the right to respond within the book.

Ellison will either expand on - or contradict - the author's points. Easily the most appropriate and defensible use of footnotes I've ever encountered.

The worst tool for the job
In a conventional double accounting system:

Deposit
Asset>Cash in Hand CR$1m
Asset>Bank: DB$1m

House purchase
Asset>Cash in Hand CR$1m
Asset>Property: DB$1m

So all I'm suggesting is to use of negative numbers instead of tracking everything in terms of credits and debits.

Deposit
Asset>Cash in Hand $1m
Asset>Bank: $-1m

House purchase
Asset>Cash in Hand $1m
Asset>Property: $-1m

In either case the value of your assets at the end is unchanged, because you're just turning assets into different kinds of assets.

But let's say you started with DB$2m (inheritance say, or you won the lottery). You end with DB$2m assets.

I'm not reinventing anything here. Where do you want to label your $2m as 'debit' every time, or use negative numbers, either way is the same.

People do always struggle when learning accounting to comprehend how money in their assets is debit. Because they are so used to seeing 'credit' on their bank statements. But it is only credit because there was from the banks point of view.
But thats because the civil rights movement had a bunch of humans intentionally amplifying the Rosa Parks story to accomplish a particular policy goal.

Interesting explanation for why children rarely get sick or transmit this disease:

500 Million Europeans are not stupid, and they know what is going on: they see the ads right in front of them and are aware there is some degree of targeting going on.

The mechanism of this targeting is not some complicated dark secret - it's literally available to 7 billion people to see any time. It's right there: location, demographic and basic interest targeting. Data is not being sold to anyone, and advertisers can place ads based on a few simple things. There's nothing remotely nefarious.

People around the world 100% make the choice to use Facebook with this understanding, it's literally free, and there is no compulsion to use it.

If you use Facebook, then you have made the choice, nobody is putting words in your mouth, your assertion is a function of your actions, not my words.

If Facebook was leaking data, selling data etc. there would be a problem. But they aren't, so there isn't.

I'm not talking about credits and debits. In the version of accounting I know the balance sheet (edit: I'm not talking about the transactions, I'm talking about the aggregate balance) says simply:

ASSETS
======

$1mn Cash (in the bank)
$1mn House
----
$2mn

What does the balance sheet look like for you? -$1mn plus -$1mn, i.e. total assets -$2mn?

Is that less confusing than total assets being $2mn when you have two assets worth $1mn each?

I've got a QNAP TS-451 and it works, but I don't find that the added features are really worth anything. I basically use it as a dumb storage server (NFS, SMB, and iSCSI) and for that it works really well. The only bit of smarts I use is the Hybrid Backup Sync utility to back up important folders to external drives and, when I get around to setting it up, some kind of off-site backup.

I've just found too many odd limitations with the device to use it for much more than that. For example, you can set up VLANs and you can bind services to specific physical network interfaces, but you can't bind a service to a VLAN interface. This is what made me give up on the added features.

Also, be aware that some added features have moved to a subscription model[0]. And, if you expose your QNAP to the internet, there's a risk of getting malware[1]. On the plus side, this has made them open up a tiny bit[2][3].

> The public sector isn’t in general unproductive, except maybe in the US where one major party has been working hard to sabotage it for the last 40 years or so.

Do you realize that (1) half of all government spending is at the state and local levels; and (2) many states and cities have been run by “the other party” (not the bad one) for decades? Cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, etc., have been run by Democrats for longer than many posters on HN have been alive. If there was any truth to the notion that the US public sector is poorly managed because “one major party” “sabotages” it you should see a marked difference in the states run by the other party. But you don’t. Indeed, the major population trend in the US is people leaving Democrat-run states and moving to Republican-run states.

It is human issue. Business requires goals and timelines. I agree that the issue comes from a lack of transparency, poor culture, and the human desire to be "right". Not setting a deadline is unacceptable to business though. I can't imagine sales or the end customer would ever accept not knowing when they can expect product delivery. If delays are communicated, engineering is respected, and no one is looking to blame someone for delays then the whole thing runs fine. As long as company culture does not run around making people feel bad about not hitting timelines you get more honest timelines from people. But as a product manager I am forced to ask engineering to try and deliver some things sooner than they estimated. Just like I have to disappoint customers by saying products are delayed, or sales that something is more expensive, I have to disappoint engineering with getting something out there sooner than people are comfortable with. Obvious exceptions are when we are confident we cannot hit the timeline with even an MVP.

But on an apples to apples comparison, aren’t there very few flu deaths confirmed by testing?

And what you cite can’t be proof that the flu is more deadly than people think. If what you say is true, those deaths are in the numbers used for the death rate of the flu.

The point of that article is that perhaps our algorithms for estimating flu deaths are wrong.

Edit: Can someone explain the downvotes? Any error in my reasoning is not obvious to me. The claim above was that:

1. Heart attacks are included in flu death estimations

2. This should make the public think the flu is more deadly than they believe

That seems contradictory, as the public’s belief about the deadliness of the flu comes in stats from point #1. As for the article, the author made no real attempt to rebut its central claim.

Yeah I've worked on so many systems that dealt with money. Telephone invoicing, business accounting, ticket sales, etc.

One of the businesses I worked for did online invoicing and they initially started off without double ledger accounting. I was employee 30 or so and I kept repeating "we need double ledger accounting" every month or so. Nobody really listened to me (to be fair I was young, but this was after the telephone invoicing job) until the cracks started to form. It took them years to transition to a new system. Do not re-invent accounting with your own terms. International commerce runs on it and it has figured out a lot of the edge cases.

> I'm still appalled that they know it causes blood issues and are not connecting the dots between that and the feet issues.

I feel like you're jumping to conclusions prematurely. If you as health insurance specialist can connect these dots, you can be sure that researchers did, too. However, having a hunch is only the first step of a thorough scientific investigation, and those take time. Until we have collected and analyzed the evidence, this remains speculation, and scientists shouldn't go off spouting half-researched speculations. That leads to only more fake news. If you look through the Lancet or JAMA, you might find first articles on this connection (if there is one). But until there are peer reviewed papers about this, most researchers know that it's better not to speculate when talking to the press.

The world-wide PC market including Intel and AMD totaled about 290 million units last year. 190 million of them were laptops.

Apple sold about 200 million iPhones, 70 million iPads and 60 million Apple Watches (and not including other A-series devices such as T2 chips, Apple TV, or HomePod) All of these are split among TSMC’s 10nm and 7nm parts. So it’s fair to say that TSMC with investment in fabs can work on that scale. I’m intrigued that Intel would be chasing the low cost 6nm however.

Not sure an Italian wouldn't be irritated by "old bridge" as the name of a supposedly high-end electronics product even when (I'm assuming) most if not all Italians of course know the place; "Ponte Nuove (Nuovo?)" could make some sense at least.

> Also photographer friend of mine said; a great photographer doesn't need to Photoshop anything to lie to you.

I couldn't agree more if they used the word lie in the more general sense as a synonym of deception. The availability of fakes may not become a problem because the most effective deception doesn't involve telling untruths.

To give an example, suppose Russia Today and Fox News report on the same event. There's a set of facts. RT picks a subset and reports it from their point of view. Fox picks another subset and presents their view. The resulting articles may give readers vastly different interpretation of the event and no untruths had to be involved.

I think the precondition for stability is a strong civil society, and clear traditions about what constitutes legitimacy. Democracy fosters both of these. Dictatorship can foster both in the case of an 'enlightened despot', but it's often the case that the despot is incompetent, or worse.

If you look at transitions like the english civil war, or the french revolution, the clear precondition of revolution is not 'stability', as you think, but rather systemic dysfunction compounded by incompetent leadership. This kind of situation is one which democracies, in theory, should be much less vulnerable to.

Your ideas about the relative balance of power between state and people make some sense, I think, but they only matter when the threat is internal dissent. Most of the states in modern europe had a form of republicanism enforced on them by the French, who were able to invade all their neighbors because their republican government was (while very dysfunctional) more efficient and able to field talented officers and large armies.

A modernised military, moreover, consists of normal people - and they will also feel the disillusionment and apathy that grips really dysfunctional regimes. Saudi Arabia, for example, fields armies of terrible soldiers, using the most advanced weapons available.

China is an interesting and very weird state, because it's a very old civilization with deep roots, with very different basic ideas to the west, and they have turned marxism into a kind of managerial culture for an extremely capitalist society. I don't know if they will follow any of the typical patterns that totalitarian states follow. You can't really use the USSR as a point of comparison, because the USSR was a very European project, coming directly out of the enlightenment, and the western political tradition. Nor would Korea make sense, since they were colonized, and both North and South represent different reactions to colonial subjugation.
