> How is the performance output compared to a regular desktop

Sorry, but often budget (junk) CPUs are only 10% of the performance of current desktop-class processors.

You can use "openssl speed" to test and compare performance.

When I was experimenting with Intel's Atom netbook chip, it was exactly 10% of a Xeon thread. So it could be used for httpd static content, but not java.

> It'd be an interesting setup to test parallelism and learn how things work.

Long-term, they can be used for DNS, PXE, etc. but most people will not get their money back. If you plan to use docker or k8s, verify they have the right CPU options first.

Unraveling the linothorax mystery (2013)
I am curious how COVID impacted a company like Mozilla? Their main revenue comes from search partnerships, there were more people at home searching things during lockdown. In the internal message Mitchell Baker said:

“We started with immediate cost-saving measures such as pausing our hiring, reducing our wellness stipend and cancelling our All-Hands. But COVID-19 has accelerated the need and magnified the depth for these changes. Our pre-COVID plan is no longer workable. We have talked about the need for change — including the likelihood of layoffs — since the spring. Today these changes become real.”
I think it's important to point out that when you license lyrics, you don't actually get the lyrics. I know, sounds ridiculous. You'll get the license to display them, and when you ask the rightsholders of these lyrics (the publishers) for the actual lyrics they'll tell you "oh, we don't have the actual text, just the rights. You need to find the text somewhere else."

As a result, creating an accurate lyrics database like Genius has done is an enormous amount of work, and my non-lawyer gut-feeling says that in this case, Google is screwing over Genius big time. Too bad the legal system doesn't support that.

Well obviously the most important factor is making sure they haven’t donated money to any of the wrong political causes.
I always assumed that the bottom of the dish was made out of concrete, but apparently it's relatively thin and floats above the ground.

Also, the pictures in that article made me feel nostalgic playing Golden Eye on the N64.
Are you being serious? How exactly do you build modern roads, skyscrapers, dams or really anything large scale and industrial out of mud bricks?
The DID stop adding stretch goals/scope creep.

But it already went way too far in scope before they stopped scope creeping.

Not a scam, just bad planning IMO.
The 3€/month is a single thread (not even a core), and it's not even dedicated. The lowest dedicated instance is 2 vCPU (1 core) for 23€/month with 8GB or RAM. That's 276€/year.

8 of those instances is equivalent to an 8 core (16 thread) chip with 64GB of memory. Using, e.g., Supermicro AMD EPYC 3251 + parts, you could build an entire server for less than 1/2 that price. You could have twice the compute for the same price the first year. Servers easily last 3 years minimum, so Hetzner has a 6x markup at the low end.

Admittedly, building your own server doesn't include transit, but transit is cheap. Assuming you have a fast home connection (a big if for many people), the hard part is access to static IP addresses. There are dedicated services that lease IPs over a VPN tunnel, or you can setup your own VPN into, e.g., Hetzner or Vultr using a handful of the cheapest instances. (Not sure about Hetzner, but Vultr let's you lease and attach 2 additional IPs to the same instance for $2/month/IPv4 address.)

Now, the above setup is probably far too much trouble for most people, and it has many downsides[1]. But the point is that if we're just talking about CPU time, not even Hetzner or some other cheap VPS provider can come close to the cost of running your own equipment.

[1] Power and cooling are two downsides, but the 3251 has a TDP of 50W. Granted, it doesn't have the highest clock speeds, but there's a reason cloud providers don't normally advertise Ghz. Anyhow, rather than build 2x 3251's you could build a single 16 core rig using a higher-clocked and newer EPYC or Xeon for about the same money (definitely at or under 2200€ all-in).
Probably a list of oopsies, i.e. making Google services work with things that aren't Google Chrome.

Even if they are the same bloody thing inside.

Your point was Mozilla could be a strong voice in WebStandards? There won't be any standards. It will be whatever Google does.

Does this mean that scraping is allowed, regardless of TOC as long as you don’t distribute copyrighted materials?

Yes, but for obvious reasons Windows is absolute #1 priority for Firefox. Do you honestly think that's the wrong priority?
What site/market did you use? That's an interesting concept I had never heard of!
what about OHHLA.com, which genius scraped ?
Yes, but the information of the abundance of each element is not present. If that information was added into this plot then the relative amount of each color would be the relative abundance of the origin of elements.

Warframe is by far not doing anything as complex as SC. And most of the bloat is content, rather than actual systems IME.
Why do you assume that? Are there any papers/data available on the subject?

Mozilla can always give up firefox and let it has it own non-profit organization that take the revenue from the google deal. That way Mozilla can continue to focus on their advocacy product which they get paid so much for.

That's just accounting treatment. Doesn't change the financial fact that it can be replicated with a cash bonus the same size as the original grant.
You need to be careful with long range radio solutions. Radio waves sources are very easy to locate with cheap equipment. Wifi/Bluetooth is perhaps better since it's already everywhere, but the range isn't good.

At this point, I think it's inevitable that Chrome monoculture will happen.

I like Firefox too, but unless you have a spare hundred million of USD lying around, the easiest way to maximize revenue is to minimize workforce. By moving to Blink.
It is very common to hear from new developers who are not familar with declaritve programming to complain about SQL. They don't tend to see the SQL syntqax fit into their 'programming' paradim. It is very simple, SQL is magic box, you ask it what you want, and it gave it to you.

Where people are directing their attention is mostly publicly available. For example what's "trending" on social media, what posts have a lot of likes, Twitter/Facebook profiles, the contents of popular TV shows & YouTube channels, opinion polls.
For large gatherings you can have Bluetooth connected mesh networks. There are apps that already implement this out of the box like Bridgefy or Briar.

You can have a network of consumer radio walkie talkies with privacy codes, each node spread with a range of about 20km, depending on the weather and terrain. But this is would need dedicated hardware which I assume is not easily sourced in the current restricted environment.

Edit: Maybe if you setup a network of walkie talkies on rooftops you could probably maximize the node spread if are able to keep line of sight across each node.

Ask HN: Negotiating My Hourly Rate?
Hi, I am a freelancer from a South Asian country and I have been working for a client through my friend for a year. The friend is getting $15 from the client and he pays me $9 hourly (i.e he takes 40% cut). I mostly work on the frontend side and handle multiple projects of the same client. Other than that, I communicate with the client directly and manage the work without my friend's involvement.
I deliver the work on time and in good quality, however, I am not employed by him nor do I work full time on the projects (because of some personal reasons and the fact that I have my own client). Rather, I give enough time each day to complete the assignments on due time. Despite this, I think, I am getting a low rate on the basis of the value which I provide.

This has been in my mind for a couple of months and I wanted to let it out and pitch a new rate of $18 (double the previous rate) to my friend. But I am afraid this may not be acceptable, as he is getting $15 from the client and the client is already on a tight budget. And, I am afraid if I stick with this offer he will try to arrange some other resource, resulting in me losing this opportunity. Moreover, I do have my own client and work for him for $10.

I will really appreciate some help or guidance here. How should I best approach this scenario so there is a WIN/WIN situation for all of us? Am I pitching too high?

PS. He is already looking for an extra resource to share my work. And I am willing to go as low as $15

There's no reason to think this will impact Rust at all. Rust is now spread far beyond Servo and Mozilla is no longer employing most of the Rust developers. This has been the case for several years, AFAIU.

Recently I was diagnosed with severe ADHD. The struggle finally became too much. Perhaps the effects of the health crisis on my work and finances gave me the final push, I don't know.

My life is so much more enjoyable now I am medicated and have had some very minimal therapy.

In hindsight all the tricks and strictness I forced onto myself to be able to keep up were very unhealthy, unsustainable, and not even that effective. The psych even seemed quite concerned when I did a show and tell.

To anyone else struggling: Just make that appointment and find out what's up. Even if it doesn't turn out to be ADHD these people can help you get so much more out of your life. Nothing ventured nothing gained, right?
Peelian Principles: Sir Robert Peel's Principles of Law Enforcement
Sure. Heidelberg's recently made [1] some cool tools ("maskless aligners") that can expose a ≈150mm wafer in an hour or so down to ≈500nm resolution, which is very convenient when rapidly iterating through one-off low-resolution designs or something in a research lab (for comparison, electron beam lithography does the same to ≈10nm resolution in maybe a day). It's still part of the whole fabricate-everything-as-2D-layers-on-a-wafer paradigm, though, and has the same limitations (e.g., temperature limits) as standard silicon circuitry made with conventional photolithography.

Not really all true though. Genius started out by stealing lyrics from other sites. In the early days many of the lyrics had the exact same errors as other more establish sites. That may have changed since.
I also think it is over board. Besides, you can get ZXEvo board http://nedopc.com/zxevo/zxevo_eng.php for about 150$. Hardware wise, mostly, it is even more advanced.

Illegal taxis and rental housing (whether short or long term) have been around forever though. And they weren't just a fringe thing. College students and immigrant groups may predominantly use them in many places. If there's a current increase in such things, I'd blame it on the factors and regulations restricting the legal supply of these things rather than on airbnb/uber.
The crux of the legal decision here is that Genius doesn't own the copyright on the lyrics either. Hard to steal from Genius what they don't own in the first place.

In the early day every driver CD and a large portion of online installers had chrome bundled and pushed. Pretty sure almost every preinstalled system also had chrome. If I don't miss remember, even game installers occasionally pushed chrome. It was very noticeable and I remember quite well the annoyance of having to go to advanced setting and unselect chrome several times during reinstalls of windows 7.

They did have a different memory profile (might still have one in macos, I wouldn't know since I don't use mac), and the UI is each to ones own, but I few programs outside of AOL installers has been as pushy as chrome during the beginning.

IIRC $30 RaspberryPi can emulate it well enough to run even the gnarliest games. I see no need for the FPGA there at all. I'd pay for the case / keyboard like that to put a RasbperryPi into, as well as for firmware to make it boot directly into emulation, though.
This all seems irrelevant when the poorest 80% of Americans own about 7% of the nation's wealth. The top 1% owns 40% of the wealth.

And so it is. 12% of all Americans are below the poverty line, which for a single person is less than 12k USD a year.
