A few are coming out. The company I'm in focuses more on communities (neighborhoods, gaming groups), with increasing focus on privacy and monetization via selling neighborhood related features.

WT.Social focuses more on the media part of social media.

I used to really dislike LinkedIn, but with a lot of social marketing/personal branding moving to Facebook, it might be time to give it a shot.

There's another one I can't recall the name of, but it focused on close and personal friends, rather than the 200 friends we tend to have on Facebook.

Can you define "malware"? I am categorically and maximally against viewpoint-based censorship. If an otherwise well-behaving app can be "malware" because it espouses a particular viewpoint, I oppose allowing platforms to ban "malware". If you can define "malware" without reference to viewpoint, sure, censor away.

For example, banning Gab is egregious and unacceptable under my framework.
Err, how do they know who is driving? Seems that would be rather important and very difficult to do without privacy warning bells ringing.
This is bullshit and is designed to enable Amazon to allow Toyota and its insurance “partners” to extract more money out of the average American driver.

Remember how Kroger/Safeway/friends started their loyalty programs? Just give us your purchase data + a unique identifier and we will only charge you the normal price not the jacked up price. This is the same thing. 20 years from now this will be normal because most older cars will be off the road.

My guess is Give it 5 years and we’ll find out that the algorithm is unfairly targeting minority neighborhoods and jacking up insurance rates too.

“Fancy fit”, that is brutal haha. Some guy probably spent hours every week painfully doing the right mix of weightlifting, HIT and yoga to achieve that lean but muscular look popular with a certain class of women, probably thinks he looks tough and gets called “fancy”. At some point I’d just embrace being fat.
As another comment said there is some implication that prior exposure to other coronaviruses (which would usually be identified as the common cold) can enable an effective immune response.

If that works I wonder if such exposure is evenly distributed around the world or if it's clustered in certain populations?

FWIW here in Australia Melbourne has had a fairly significant outbreak but Sydney hasn't, from what I can tell it's basically dumb luck it didn't happen the other way around.
They can't.

Each employee is payed the marginal product of labour, but the output per employee is the average product of labour. Due to the law of diminishing returns, the average product of labour is typically greater than the marginal product of labour, and therefore there can still be a profit.

Server chips have the same license-based limitations. In fact, the limitations first appeared on those chips and in some generations only on those chips.

The term "license" comes from Intel terminology, I didn't invent it.

It has nothing to do with legal/software licensing, but rather the chip having permission (a "license") from the power management unit and voltage regulator to run certain types of instructions that might place a large amount of stress on the power delivery components.
All that old material isn't gone. PBS might not be streaming all ~4k episodes of the show but the Internet has made any media accessible if you know where to look.

I'm surprised there isn't more data on what educational media is actually good or not. Because then we could just use that, because there are already millions of hours of this stuff made. Largely its because the profit is in making more of it, not making available all that which came before.
My reading is that this was a one off or a very small batch, not a manufactured product.
> Would this not be worse for independent coffee shops since you're taking up a seat to read, while the people that work employed by Starbucks couldn't possibly care less what you were doing?

this was just the first example I could think of for a type of business where the independently owned ones are more pleasant, but good question. my guess is that independent coffee places understand that being a pleasant place to hang out is a large part of their value-add and price it in appropriately, but who knows?

I certainly agree there are some types of businesses where I don't really care. if I want to buy a stick of RAM in person, I want it today and I want to pay a competitive price. unless the employees are outright rude, there's not much they can do to improve or harm my experience.
> I set up Conductor where I work while evaluating workflow engines, and overall wasn't too happy with it. The default datastore is this Netflix-specific thing (Dynomite) that's built on top of redis. It's not particularly easy to integrate operationally into non-Netflix infrastructure, and Conductor itself hard dependencies on several services.

I find the RDBMS-based backends (Postgres or MySQL, depending on your preference of DB) much easier to get going with. Of course, by default you don't get the same HA as Dynomite – but that might not be a big issue in a particular use case, and RDBMS clustering/failover solutions can address that. If you are already in an environment with lots of RDBMS, RDBMS can be a sensible choice.

There are other options to consider too – Conductor supports direct use of Redis (including with Redis Cluster and Redis Sentinel) instead of going via Dynomite, and it also supports Cassandra. Someone should really create a pro/con comparison of all the different storage options, that was the biggest thing I was missing when evaluating it.
The license is an open-loop, predetermined safe operating area for AVX. The other limits, like RAPL and temperature, are closed-loop control systems. I think we can imagine that the static SOA exists for all these parts, but in the newer part it's so large that it doesn't tread much on the territory of the closed-loop systems. Eventually the SOA will be large enough to be irrelevant in practice.
I think that depends on if you think they are strictly equivalent, on the same spectrum but a different by a matter of degree, or categorically different.

Once we start comparing and contrasting the two, it becomes a more interesting discussion. I don't think they are strictly equivalent, but am open to a difference of degree and exploring where the line is drawn and why.

Living in a world with other people involves risk, even without covid. Driving anywhere sober, for pleasure or work, puts yourself and others at some level of risk. This is legal and socially accepted, so we know there is some threshold.

Another interesting area of comparison is consent/ acceptance of risk. When I get on the road (or walk down the street) I accept the fact that another vehicle could careen out of control and kill me. In the case of the speakeasy gym, the members presumably are accepting the risk.

This brings up the last area of comparison, second order effects. Even if the two Speakeasy gym members consent to take a risk, what about 3rd parties that could be harmed. what are the chances a 3rd party is harmed, and how do we typically handle comparable 3rd party risks? Airborne particulate is estimated to cause 200k premature US deaths per year. How does the particulate from a road trip, flight, or web browsing compare?

If we were so inclined we could try to throw some numbers to these.

No, nothing like that.

It's just a term probably used by the designers to define the particular "regimes" a chip can operate in: if it is doing lightweight stuff it can run at a lower voltage, "closer to the edge" if you will, because the worst case dI/dt event is relatively small so maximum voltage drop is limited. This saves power and keeps the chip cooler.

If the chip wants to suddenly start running some heavy-duty 512-bit wide floating point multiplies, it needs to inform the power delivery subsystem of it's intent and then wait for permission: this permission arrives in the form of a license, like "ok, you are now licensed to run L1 operations (heavy 256-bit or light 512-bit)".

Sometimes this license change can be satisfied by just bumping up the voltage without changing the frequency. Other times there might not be enough headroom to increase the voltage enough and still stay within the operating envelope so a combination of voltage and lowered frequency is used, which is how you get license-based downclocking.

This earlier article [1] explains in some detail the nature of these license transitions, including voltage levels and halted periods.

Thank you. The fund manager's comments suggesting that the index funds are unnecessarily risky make sense now.

The original article kind of made it sound like the fund invested in stocks and still managed to underperform the stock market. If you draw that assumption, it makes this sound like an open-and-shut case of negligence.

> Your statement doesn't hold unless we assume "it is unfair for one person to provide for the needs of another (unless it is reciprocated)", and it isn't at all clear that we can take that axiomatically.

the axiom is more like "it is unfair to force one person to provide for the needs of another."

obviously some people would disagree, which is their right. however by making this axiom and their disagreements with it explicit, we can discuss the reality of the situation more clearly.

> if we were to assume that one person could, through their labour, provide for the needs of everyone else, why does it obviously follow that it is "unfair" for everyone to survive solely that person's labour?

well would it be fair to force that person to provide for the needs of everyone, if they could do so but chose not to?

> More generally, it really isn't clear to me that these questions have such simplistic answers.

agreed. but discussion can help us to understand the question better, and perhaps if we realize that there is no "right" answer then that conclusion could still help us to create a society where everyone is better off.
Maybe for somewhere like Harvard that has an absolutely ludicrously sized endowment, but a more normal university can't really afford to absorb losses like that.

They need to withdraw from the endowment every year to pay expenses. If the stock market plunged and then they locked in losses by selling to pay expenses, they would run a real risk of having long term losses.
Small nitpick: Kindergarteners are expected to count to 100. At least, that's the case in my county (Wake) in a state not known for K-12 excellence (North Carolina).
This is correct, it attempts to check for notarization each time it is launched. In the case where there is no network connection most apps have the notarization "stapled" to the app meaning it actually carries the successful notarization authorization attached to the binary. This may short circuit checking for notarization with Apple's servers but I don't know if that happens for sure.
> An endowment should be diversified across asset classes (metals, real estate, equities, bonds) and strategies (PE, hedge funds, VC, etc) and have a moderate but stable return stream.

Over the last ten years, all the fancy-pants portfolios that Ivey League endowments used have generally under-performed a 60/40 portfolio:

* https://www.markovprocesses.com/blog/ivy-league-endowments-f...

* https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b1hlc1hjfsbwfq...

Dartmouth has matched, Yale has beaten such a portfolio by 0.6%, and Princeton beaten by 1.1%.

We've had over 15 years of SPIVA keeping track of active management performance, and over such a time period most active managers can't beat market returns:

> Dahiya and Yermack found that the performance of the typical endowment fund [from 2009-2016] was so poor that it would have earned substantially higher returns if its trustees had followed a simplistic investment strategy of holding 100% Treasury bonds and taken no equity market risk whatsoever.

I'm struggling to understand why a university needs an endowment at all. Every year the universities accumulate more wealth and more parasitic non-academic staff, while simultaneously raising fees and delivering less value to students (degrees no longer guarantee jobs and student loans eat an increasing share of the graduates' earnings).

Maybe it is time to confiscate these endowments and use them to liquidate student loan debts.

In typically AWS managed fashion:

If you want to get it set up and running most of the way without tuning a bunch of stuff it’s pretty good.

It also has significant cost overhead compared to self-managed and limited instance types.

My team now is working on migrating a 2.3 cluster from AWS ES to a 7.8 self-managed cluster (probably 7.9 now I guess). We do lots of indexing throughout the day and the i3 instances available are pretty weak, just switching to r5d/r6gd instances greatly reduced our indexing and search latency

I have lamented that a model of censorship is equivalent to free information consistently cherry-picked. In terms of censoring misinformation, there is potential benefit. It needs a system of public trust, however
I'm an extrovert. I can find ways to occupy my time. I've picked up drawing, meditation, and running. I want to talk to people in person, get drinks, go to shows, etc. It's not hard to find something else to do for a short amount of time in the grand scheme of things. Get a therapist if it's that difficult. Preventing the spread of disease is more important than hanging out with your friends. The burden of the disease falls on people like nurses, essential workers, etc. and you are making their jobs miserable because they can't even take any break now (this is the situation at mother's hospital). Just be less selfish. It's easy

You were not responding to the snark but egging on a troll who made a serious political issue about an innocent mention of Israel in the pondering about the course of Persian history this century.

Virtue signalers pop out of the woodwork each time Israel is mentioned. They don't ask everyone to preface each mention on Turkey with their persecution of the Kurds or their refusal to accept the Armenian Genocide. They don't take each mention of Egypt to talk about the Coptic exodus but each mention of Israel has to be prefaced.....this is insanity.

I sincerely feel for the Palestinians because half the world is using them as their club for virtue signaling. This just eggs them to fight to the last Palestinian and give up every chance for peace and their own nation they ever had.

It has been getting in the way more and more.

The only good news would be... if apple decides to "reverse course" questing for non-discerning-consumers, all the "crazy ones" will breathe a sigh of relief and buy a pile of new hardware.

I remember when apple gave up on its "apple-inward-looking" powerpc hardware and shipped intel machines. All of a sudden apple machines could run windows too, people could see more possibilities buying apple and the market for apple hardware became much larger very quickly.
That's what the marketing department says. The actual returns paint a rather different picture.
Why?

"Everyone stop moving around for a few days so we can contact trace and test these people without it spreading more" seems like a very good mitigation.

It has worked well for NZ thus far; they've been able to demask, hug, and live life pretty much normally for a while now.

I'd happily take the occasional few days hard lockdown in exchange for that.
It's interesting to see that most of the discussion here revolves around effectiveness and economic impact of tracking. Ten years ago the talking point would be about invasion to privacy. The personal privacy is vanishing not only in practice, but as a value of the society as well.

The job of government is to protect rights, and the government gets a monopoly on force.

If other people are using force, that is a failure of the government, not of free markets.

No clue how technically feasible this is, but conceptually I like it:

There's a huge oversupply everywhere until expert ML levels.

Just about everybody was able to tweak some parameter in models, some can explain themselves, others can't, the end result doesn't differ that much.

The way I see it, there's 2 ways you can walk around this. By being a software engineer that deals with the underlying ingestion/infra (that's increasingly a solved problem too), or be the guy that actually write the ML package themselves. Only the latter will be anywhere near secure, but that's almost 0 percent of the current supply.

I'm glad I got out of machine learning/data engineer role for a pure software engineer.

You are assuming you have spare room for this equipment (ignoring that the prices you quoted are quite high and actually it costs more for serious equipment if you want realistic weights of 200-300 pounds which is not even that heavy).

I rent a room in downtown of a big city and I simply don't have space for equipment (my room is mostly just bed with small kitchen and bathroom). Don't assume everybody is rich and owns a house with spare room / garage where you can put equipment.

I am 30+ years old and never lived in a place where I would have spare space for gym equipment. You must be very privileged if you have that (top 1% at least).

Thanks for downvote though.
I think we all agree on what the security benefits are, because we know what’s going on. But Apple is telling users that they can’t verify it’s free from malware, implying that all notarized code is free from malware, which is a ridiculous claim to make, and discourages people from using excellent software that Apple, for whatever arbitrary reason they like, have decided not to notarize.
