There’s definitely something to be said about the it-just-works nature of macOS. But I primarily use docker and Linux and while I love brew I want an OS with a first party package manager (and honestly what is a Linux distribution without a package manager?). I also hate that in the Mac docker requires a VM and running docker on my Mac causes my laptop to turn into a rocket ship. And honestly I just love a true tiling manager. Basically it’s just a tool for me that I seem to gravitate to and for productivity I’m all in on Linux.
> I’m curious how they handled ALU specific instructions if an ALU isn’t present. Does the decode stage just convert them to no-ops?

There were no ALU specific instructions. The article brushes across how ALU operations were performed, but leaves the explanation for how to the reader to understand. The ALU would have been an I/O device (likely memory mapped I/O [1]) and ALU operations would have been performed by writing data out to the external ALU, waiting for the ALU gate delay, then reading the results back in from the external ALU (i.e., input/output operations):

> If you needed support for an ALU you could add one externally (likely with a pair of ‘181 series TTL). Even with an external ALU the Nanoprocessor was very fast.

Before the pandemic I spent ~1/3 of my time away from home anyway (work during the week, either out camping or otherwise out and about for at least 1 in 3 weekends). I certainly didn't unplug everything every time I left for work. I don't really see a significant difference in risk profile for a week long vacation.
It's not that people expected HK to be autonomous permanently, but that it was expected that opening access to the west for the whole of China, and to western economies, and especially through Hong Kong, would lead to a rising Chinese middle class who would want more liberal democratic values, and a corresponding decrease in paranoia by the ruling elite.

There is historical evidence that suggests that liberal values flourish better with prosperity, just as environmental and anti-pollution awareness increases once people rise above subsistence.

Lithium batteries have a much longer lifespan than lead acid, which would eliminate the need to replace UPS batteries every few years. They are also more power dense, so if the goal is just to keep a machine running long enough for a clean shutdown, you can get away with a smaller (energy and size) battery for the same load.

£2.25M! 3 years!

I am struggling to see how “50 or so” masts could come to this cost. That’s £45k a mast. I can only think they’ve gone completely custom, getting boards and possibly chips fabbed. I can’t see where the cost comes from otherwise, as this gear is cheap as chips.

For what it’s worth, I’ve put up two cell masts on our property, as we live in a deep river valley with no signal, so I’m relaying UMTS on one and rebroadcasting my own cell on the one nearest to us, along with a directional 802.11n antenna to provide WiFi off the same mast.

I planned it out over the course of a few days, ordered everything, set it all up and tested it out before moving here, and banged both of them up the day after we arrived. Hell, the hardest bit was climbing a cliff with a 15ft mast and a sledgehammer on my back.

It’s all solar powered, and the total cost for all of the gear was under £1k.

This stuff is not complicated or expensive.

In this case, the employer is the parent's employer. Which means that the people who can take the risk to create startups is limited to "people whose parents have health insurance". Which excludes a large section of society, including for example poor people.

Interesting - the past 5 years or so I noticed a similar issue with skechers I had been buying (frequently for more than a decade) - used to be, I could get a couple years out of a pair and retire them to lawn mowing duty from being dingy or worn out.. but the past few years I had a couple pairs bust the seams near the toes in about only 6 months.

As much as I liked the styles, I started to try other brands... then went back when some skechers were on sale and bought the 'wide' versions to see if there was a difference.
I have really been enjoying the new balance I've been wearing more than any the past couple years.

Using a DC auxiliary power supply for backup is common in telecommunications equipment and by extension common in network appliances - "redundant power supply" for network equipment typically means a built-in AC power supply and then DC connections for an external aux power supply that provides battery, often called an RPS.

This isn't common for servers though which, if equipped for redundant power, have two AC power supplies. I think this just comes down to the higher current draw usually associated with servers, running even 48VDC power can become costly and impractical when you need to supply say a couple thousand watts per rack, so the extra space and thermal load of an AC power supply in each unit becomes preferable.

The downside is that while redundant power supply is usually a "standard" feature on switches and routers (that is, they always have the connection whether or not you buy an RPS is up to you), you need to specify and pay extra for dual AC power supplies up-front in servers, so you don't get as smooth as an upgrade path. That said in datacenter environments you often buy servers, racks, and power systems all at once so it's not as much of a concern.

There's a similar tradeoff that exists around bottom-of-rack UPS and central (building or area) UPS---bottom-of-rack UPS tends to be more expensive, higher maintenance, higher thermal load, etc for large installations, so usually large installations use one (or two for A+B power) large central units which may be hybrid between different technologies like flywheel and battery (and you could view the transfer to generators as a "third stage" of a central UPS system), but it also makes your cabling a little more complicated and you have a bit of an "eggs in one basket" situation. Central UPS generally have internal redundancy so their risk of failure is low, and often a bypass device where if a non-recoverable failure of the UPS is detected a contactor "shunts" the entire UPS removing it from the circuit so you don't lose power due to a UPS failure, but that doesn't necessarily save you when the HVAC pours water directly into the UPS control cabinet causing widespread failure of the control electronics... a situation that I have somehow seen twice. I bet on bigger installs you can get an external bypass with some sort of health monitoring though? If HP/Tandem taught is one thing it's that you can always through more redundancy into your very special basket.

Electrical fires inside stuff that isn't the cheapest straight-from-china import shit are incredibly rare. Most fires causes are A) very old wiring that has never been attended to but loaded to the max B) people messing with mains wiring and causing a fire (e.g. bridging thermal cut off switches in cable drums) and the occasional person drilling into a cable in the wall and hitting it just-so that PE is untouched but L and N are getting just cozy enough to start a fire without tripping the line breaker.

My instinct is to agree with you, but with my practical instinct-taming hat on, I reckon you could have between thousands and tens of thousands of monthly active users (depending on demographic - how likely they are to need reset) before taking a phone call to reset it manually in db would be burdensome.

And between 0 and that many users you could have all sorts of other reasons for rethinking your authentication architecture, nevermind whether home grown or third-party library.
Many municipalities have no-justification-needed absentee voting (vote-by-mail by any other name) which can be dropped off often weeks before in-person voting occurs. Likewise many places have early in-person voting.

1. Check your voter registration.

2. Register to vote if you need to and it's still open for registration in your state.

3. VOTE as soon as you can. If you're voting absentee then drop off your ballot early if possible. If you're voting in-person then look into early voting to avoid lines and keep everyone safe.

Interesting idea. Can someone get fired from one of these jobs, for example if they don't show up or if they don't take direction?

> This is stupid.

Truth is truth. Saying something is possible isn't the same as advocating that it be done, and it's useful to point out something is possible when people at first seem to think it is not.

Also, I was talking about messages, not baby photos, and with regard to misleading or false information, hoaxes etc that cause people to behave more dangerously to others during a pandemic. Saving lives, that sort of thing.

If it's giving the user advice that others have judged what they are retweeting to be a hoax or bad medical advice, that's not blocking, it's providing context. If they don't like it, they should be able to dial it down.

With regard to baby photos, if a network starts blocking those due to poor filtering, I would hope people switch over to another network that lets them share the photos.

> Your supposed filter will most probably block

I wasn't talking about filtering particularly, the emphasis was on providing a note to the user. Much like when Twitter attached a note to Trump's tweets.

In any case, the analysis I had in mind is not "skin tone filters" and that sort of nonsense. It's not meant to be thought police, working for someone else. It's meant to advise the users themselves to think again about some content. At least at the currently level of sophistication, that would be "we recognise this particular message or photo".

There are better and worse ways to implement it of course.

The 75% of articles nobody reads aren’t a problem. The problem is the 20% of articles everyone reads of which 80% is outdated or inconsistent.

Glad you're going through this as an exercise, but my understanding has always been that even for something as simple as getting your name changed, you should just get an "agent" to do all the work for you. As you noted, almost every paper you needed is essentially unnecessary, and all you need to do is make sure that someone in the chain can ignore many of the useless requirements. This also means you probably have to pay the bribes as part of some "package" I suppose.

Is your goal to open a factory, or is it reform? I'm glad if someone's trying to reform all these useless ideas and everything, but it doesn't exactly make sense that you couple basically two fundamentally different problems though. If you honestly want to get into manufacturing in India with any real practical timelines, you better get used to paying bribes as cost of doing business. If your idea cannot work with the extra cost of 10 MBP level bribes, better don't bother at all right?

An anecdote I have of relevance: I used to draft letters for my father in the 90s for his company. Once I mistyped 1997 as 1979 in a letter. The licensing authority fined his company Rs. 3,00,000 for that mistake. That was 10% of his annual revenue back then. That's because he had negotiated with the person a month back to not increase his bribe. And hence the agency used this as leverage to get a higher bribe.

Point is, you are trying to fight such a fundamental force and way of life in India, I will not bet money that you will succeed in this route, though I sincerely wish you would. Even if you do everything right, they will invent a problem because now you've hurt their ego on top of their pocket. Hell, if you actually start succeeding you should probably start worrying about personal safety as well (I would if I were you), because I doubt India is actually developed enough to ignore the worst case scenarios you can imagine in a corrupt society like this.

The question I think this is an answer to is how you can have a reasonable expectation of freedom and privacy while sharing an internet with a CCP who has militarized their technology sector as a means to facilitate colonial expansion.

I'm no fan of anyone involved, but we should accept that the Internet as we may have known it has been compromised by exogenous governance structures and their gatekeepers in service of non- and even anti-internet agendas, and it can no longer seriously be considered a free territory for divergence and innovation. The U.S. and their Clean network seems naive in a way, but in this case, I don't object because I think it is the devil we know.
If they weren't serious about this claptrap it would be downright hilarious. "Clean" means nothing, other than "Approved by us" which of course can mean anything they want, including shutting down anything they disagree with even internally, and changing day by day. In practicality there isn't much they can do legally to make any of this actually exist.
There's a bunch of different measures discussed, but they all seem to remove some attack surface that we have seen exploited.

Securing the routers and network cables removes the means for man in the middle attacks (or at least makes them preventable with router security). Not connecting to telecos does the same (because of bgp highjacking and the like).

Removing chinese apps and not storing data on Chinese servers makes decreases the amount of data that can be extracted from large portions of the population by the CCP. E.g. preventing the "who knows who" graph from leaking wholesale (even if individual nodes can still be investigated via other means).

This doesn't fix all security problems, but it removes some of China's current advantages in cyberwarfare.

Not putting apps in Chinese app stores and devices looks to be an outlier in that it's a form of sanction (in response to human rights abuses) rather than a defensive measure.
