> That only makes sense if you assume a sizable portion of the citizenry knows about it.

Are you kidding? At least growing up in the 90s every teenager knew about PBA cards and any kid with cops in their family would eagerly whip out their collection of PBA cards for bragging rights. There were even different levels of cards, associated with different levels of officer you had connections too.

I was honestly surprise to see this as 'news' since at least where I grew up this was widely known.
Anyone else finding the stretched font extremely hard to read?
What happens to Intel's independent GPU project?
With the new nVidia 30xx series it seems that Intel GPU will have a hard time finding its niches.
>Yikes, what a horror: either no new features, or complexity increases forever. Fortunately we don't live in that prison.

And fortunately, I didn't suggest that we do, or that features should never be removed... rather that removing a feature that people use because not enough of them use it doesn't make sense for a site like this.

If you want more people to use new features, I think you need to put more effort than you do into making those features more visible. Feature discovery is a problem - there's plenty of anecdotal evidence here to attest to that.

I can think of a couple of possible solutions, such as having new features be bold for a while after being first introduced, so they're more easily noticed, or pinning a thread announcing new site features, or having something like a devlog listing possible and new changes and comments related to development, to better engage the community in the process (or at least raise their awareness that the site is still being actively worked on,) etc. Or all of those.
Permission was retroactive.

At the time of the offenses, the perps knew they were violating the law. If the law authorizing the action is found unconstitutional, then that retroactive permission has been withdrawn. There is no question of "double jeopardy", because they never faced trial.
This is a big reason why I rejected my green card offer and moved to France.
Fabulous! Added. Thanks!
The author/editor is completely irresponsible with the use of the word "can" in the title, and the immediate next line walks it back with "raises concerns". This is what tabloid magazines do. Disappointed that its coming from a magazine with the word science in their name.
Maybe your build systems work incrementally or otherwise don’t use 4x the cores? A Ryzen with the higher clock speed might have been a better choice.
> there'd be a lot less formality among government workers

Two things:
1) This is hard to believe. How does the English language dictate informality? How does Russian especially accommodate formality?

2) How would this not precipitate enormous changes? The "formality" of the State is a crucial aspect of Westphalian cultural hegemony. Its very "institutionality," its sense of realness is dependent on collective agreement that State actions are "formal", and civilian actions are "informal." To erode that boundary would, I think, have unpredictable repercussions.
Also, in case you don't know, "out of thin air" is an English idiom for "From nothing, as of something that has suddenly materialized. out of nowhere; out of nothing. ". [1]

If you are training machine learning models to understand natural languages, I imagine having as many real world examples as possible must be helpful. The languages should at least be preserved for research purposes, not because human beings might want to speak them as a first language.
Actually tried using controller to play this game in browser. Please add using direction pad for controlling character, as it is a bit more convenient for 2D games than using analog stick. Pause menu somehow ended up on left analog "click", not back. Using Xbox 360 controller on Firefox.
Fullscreen mode would be nice addition too.
Hi, one of the collaborators here! One question to consider, and one that I consider pretty frequently, is what the hard difference really is between HLS and RTL. It seems up to interpretation, but I think of it more as a spectrum than anything that truly schisms the space. I think I personally associate the term HLS with "trying to uplevel the design process where we can".

Even with modern RTL, we have a synthesizing compiler optimizing our design within a cycle boundary, trying to manage fanouts and close timing by duplicating paths and optimize redundant boolean formulas. Some will even do some forms of cross stage optimization.

If you think of XLS's starting point as "mostly structural" akin to RTL (instead of "loops where you push a button and produce a whole chip") it's really an up-leveling process, where there's a compiler layer underneath you that can assist you in exploring the design space, ideally more quickly and effectively, and trying to give you a flexible substrate to make that happen (by describing bits of functionality as much as possible in latency insensitive ways).

I like to think of it like [Advanced Chess](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_chess) -- keep the human intuition but permit the use of lots of cycles for design process assist. It appears from what we've seen so far that when you have a "lifted" representation of your design such that tools can work with it well, composition and exploration becomes more possible, fun, and fruitful! I expect over time we'll have a mode where you still require everything closes timing in a single cycle when you explicitly want all the control you had / don't care so much for the assist, then you just get the benefits of the tooling / fast simulation infrastructure that works with the same program representation. It's a great space to be working in as somebody who loves compilers, tools, and systems: there's so much you could do, there's incredible opportunity!
Yeah, because Microsoft's stock was shit when Jim Cramer invented that acronym.
It's like the military then. The fact that there is a 101st airborne division does not imply the existence of 100 other airborne divisions.
>How is it anymore than a suggestion or a guidline if government officials are not punished for violating it?

The program (and it's replacement) has been around for two decades. It was passed into law by Congress, administered by the executive branch and justice department, funded by Congress, and overseen by the Judiciary and Congress. So punish who? And for what crime? Based on what law? That the the ninth-circuit ruled that the collection overstepped some bounds is not a criminal indictment, but rather a normal part of the process. And who knows if it won't be reversed.
We helped a friend through this last year. Where she lived there was only two insurance providers providing ACA plans. And both were HMO only. And both only offered Silver and Bronze plans. I also checked this out in a couple of other counties and it was the same situation. (I didn’t find a single gold plan in my search.) So for a lot of people they can’t buy better plans even if they could afford it.
Be careful what you wish for.

Mandatory sentencing removes any possibility of judicial discretion.

And then there's the problem that gaol tends not to reform people.
Well, if they removed checking identities as it doesn’t relate to “transportation safety” they’d likely just replace it by a check from one of those other agencies.
I would argue that whatever the USA is doing is working.

The USA has substantially lower taxes and higher salaries, including for the poorest, than the rest of the Western world.

The USA policeforce seems focused on policing, whereas Police Forces in countries like the UK spend time monitoring online behavior whilst ignoring child grooming gangs.

Its also interesting that in the original article, the examples listed are mundane traffic offenses, and the only serious abuse is entirely fictional - from the Sorpranos.
Your post side-steps the issue I raised.

Or you can say the same about America and Biden. Or America and Bush. Or America and Clinton.

> The masses always will consume the propaganda, I don't see how this will ever be eliminated.

I could say that you have consumed leftists propaganda about Trump. But I won't.

> The masses always will consume the propaganda
> How can we improve the results?

For starters, stop thinking of people as masses. They are capable of making intelligent decisions.

I think I understand why when choosing between Clinton and Trump people picked Trump. This was logical decision for many of Trump voters.

It would be very helpful for the current US democratic party to understand why people voted from Trump without pinpointig it to racism and homophobia and other sins.
Lol it's been about what I got at all the jobs I've had. It's pretty comparable to the Silver plan I was on as a contractor.
I went down the rabbit hole with this yesterday. Capcom on that mission was Colonel Charles Harbough, himself an astronaut. Looks like he retired from the military and flies for FedEx.

> The numbers are not very different because the denominator is so much larger than the numerator

True for an individual case. However, my argument was that, at scale, the difference is massive, and adding speeding cameras doesn't stop cops from pulling people over. You just have police AND speeding cameras, both of which have problems, and the problems of neither are mitigated by the presence of the other.

> And the time in court is what ruins the most vulnerable people!

> Last time I fought a ticket (before I wised up to the fact paying the judge's friend who is a lawyer reverses time in such a way you never sped?) it took 2 full days off work. 1 day to wait in line so I plead not guilty, 1 to actually contest, and officer was a no-show

And when this is much easier at scale, municipalities can create more of these headaches with less work on their part.

> Your other comments also imply a lack of understanding in the role traffic stops play in modern policing. Not being able to stop people for speeding and even other minor traffic infractions...

How do speeding cameras prevent this?! I ask a second time.

> Traffic stops are the leading springboard for all of these ills

How do speeding cameras prevent this?

> Compared to all this, cameras end up having shortcomings that police have, but with a fraction of the terrible abuse that can come from it.

I again don't understand how having speeding cameras prevents police from pulling people over.

> Also, this isn't the point of the comment, but cameras don't sleep, but they can be turned off. Here in New York City speed cameras are not on 24/7. They only operate during school opening and closing hours when kids are likely to be coming and going

And are pull-overs allowed outside of those times?

> And not every state allows them everywhere (in fact I don't know of any that do, but some might).

And are pull-overs allowed outside of those zones?
Wow, this is an outstanding post and could probably be an HN submission in its own right. Thank you for sharing.
An example: most schools in northeastern US are built around windowless hallways; most schools in the southwest and California have classrooms that open directly into the outdoors, with mezzanines, walkways, and staircases exposed directly to the elements.
It should also ask if you're a citizen, on a visa, or on a green card.
> why they couldn't just measure bradykinine levels directly? Is that too hard?

It is. To measure gene expression, you isolate total mRNA and sequence it. This tells you the expression of all genes simultaneously. The protocol is fairly standard, cheap, and quick. That doesn't tell you anything about bradykinine, though, because there is no mRNA that codes for it.

In contrast, no such protocol exists for proteins. Sequencing a single protein is comparatively difficult, and no high throughput device exists that sequences lots of proteins, let alone quantifies their abundance. The traditional lab methods like PAGE gels are slow and labor intensive.
I assume you believe there are some things the American government does better than your home country, otherwise you wouldn't be here. Why are you so worried it'll turn out poorly?
I am curious whether any other country has taken similar steps.
> let all languages die

Languages do not die on their own. They're killed. Most "charitably," by environmental circumstance. Less "charitably," they are killed by Colonialism.
India is taking superficial measures for the show and to save face because they are currently outdone on all fronts by China.

China is playing the long game and will continue to do so, notably by continuing to develop Belt and Road.

Unfortunately not so much an option for a bit, but medical tourism is the best answer. You can take a vacation and get treatment for less than you're paying just for insurance.
If the data is below 50G in size and on my personal computer, then I just drop it into the Google Drive folder and it syncs to Google over night. When it is done, I export it and then send a link to the person(s). I pay $2 a month for the 100G account and I usually have about 50G disk space unused, so this is not an issue for me.

If it is above 50G and on my personal computer, I encrypt the data and then physically mail a USB stick with the data on it. Trying to arrange the downloading/uploading of 50G of data from my personal computer to another personal computer is a real pain. The people that I would send/receive that much data to/from, that is stored on my personal computer are usually people who don't know much about ftp, scp or easily sharing files over the Internet. Sending a USB stick is just so much easier and in many cases, faster. I make sure the recipients know how to decrypt the data before sending the data.

If it is on a server (For example, a side project instance in AWS), then I drop it into S3 bucket, export it and send the URL to the recipient. I just eat the cost of them downloading it. Usually I am making money off the work anyways, so it is the cost of doing business.
A 100% guarantee of getting caught would significantly reduce the number of people speeding. That eliminates something that functions like a regressive tax, so it's never going to happen.
>He was kind of surprised that wasn't available for everyone, like, you know, citizens...

It is available for citizens. Citizens who make below a certain amount. If the OP's fiancee lost her job and didn't have medical coverage, she would qualify for the same insurance your sushi chef did.
FWIW Levels.fyi has Microsoft at $164k vs Google and Facebook at $188k total comp. But if you consider the California income tax, that would knock that total down about $15k. So its really a 164k vs 173k. But with a significantly lower cost of living. Microsoft looks like it comes out ahead in pay.

Now I am not sure on how hard it is to be promoted but it does look like you need several promotions at Microsoft to equal one promotion at Facebook or Google.
Wow. I wonder if there is an equivalent of this sticker for other states.
Its probably only the PHY for it and require additional (expensive) components to implement, just like with the "integrated" 2.5 Ghz.

It depends on if they want to believe the video or not. For many evidence is ammo not guidance.
There is sampling bias, so it is unclear if these salaries are representative. Reading the article it would not be unreasonable to conclude that those that participated in the survey are more likely to be those that are under paid.

> A majority — 194 out of 310 — total respondents said they were people of color. Also, 69 respondents reported feeling marginalized or at risk of being marginalized due to their gender or gender identity. In total, 22% of respondents said that their gender or gender identity had or might hinder them at work.

This indicates that it is not a representative sample of M$. Though which conclusions to make from it are much harder to say.
I'm not sure what you mean by this.

If you know of a system for friction-less person-to-person transfer of small amounts of money (Like handing someone a dollar bill, but digital) with widespread adoption on news/entertainment websites please provide a link.

I'm currently using my time+attention as payment (via ads) for most of the content I consume online. I would prefer to have the option of "carrying" a wallet to pay with cash instead.

Edit: Maybe I should have been more clear about what I meant by "stability" and "security". I mean that any time I make a transaction with BTC, I have an extremely low level of confidence that the goods/service I've purchased would have the same value or that my money would have the same purchasing power even in a very short timeframe. "I have $50 to spend this month on news and content. Should I hold off buying anything until next week and hope that all the articles I want to read are cheaper??"

Maybe in a world where I receive a BTC paycheck and pay all my bills with BTC it would make more sense.
For software, levels for non software go below 59 iirc.
It depends in whether I want to send it to someone in the local network or through the internet.

For local network:

I use miniserve ( https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve ) which is just a simple http server.
There are similar tools for when I want to share it from the smartphone.

Through the internet it really varies:

Sometimes it is Firefox send ( https://send.firefox.com/ )

For photos, I use a self hosted photo solution piwigo ( https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo )

In earlier days it has been a self hosted nextcloud ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server ) instance. I still use it when the files are getting too large for Firefox send.

I also tried the already mentioned wormhole but this works only with tec ppl.
I just have two Seattle Mariners bumper stickers on my truck; haven't been pulled over since putting em on, so they must think I have enough misery as it is!

/s I think the real issue is that it has been decided somehow that it is our fault for being policed and experiencing the frequent resulting injustices. A police officer can pull you over, stop you walking down the street, etc. etc. and fine you, jail you, or brutalize you at will, and in all but the most egregious cases (that also must become a cause celebre), they can just do it again tomorrow. There's always some justification, no matter how flimsy! That's not to say this violence is evenly distributed among the population. POC, the poor and working class, those who work odd hours and have to drive at 3 AM etc. certainly have a much, much, much harder time than e.g. the median HN commenter. But the answer to the question "What's stopping a given police officer from e.g. breaking my arm while pulling me out of my vehicle?" is much less "they will suffer consequences if they do" and much more "they haven't decided it's what they want to do today"
so insurance didn't cover anything?

You had a $100k bill that you ultimately had to pay for?

that sucks man
> Safe speed varies with weather, time of day, and even the flow of traffic

And by car! A truck or an older SUV will have a far worse breaking distance and does not corner well compared to any sports car or sedan. So even assuming you a perfect situational analysis, you still could not post an exact limit.
Wow, that's such a valid point. The number of kids who go into sports is ridiculous, and it's just...it's not a career. Just like drug dealing isn't a career. tbh the average NFL player's career isn't going to last too much longer than the average smart drug dealer or prostitute.
Is there any country in the top 20 GDP which does not have "the enemy"?

> it's still shared

Right, that was really my main question: besides the labeling (which is of course approximate), the positioning sure looks like each core would have its own "favorite" section of the cache. And being shared, it seems like this could make for some interesting performance behaviors.

Ah, interesting, this topology was introduced with Sandy Bridge. I'm just out of date: https://www.anandtech.com/show/3922/intels-sandy-bridge-arch...
> Your insurance is tied to your employer but you can also get insurance on the private market. Generally Employer insurance is much much cheaper as the employer can negotiate with a large number of seats over costs and has a vested interest in employee health.

Another reason might also be that an employers group consists mostly of healthy working age adults. Once they’re not healthy they often are no longer able to work for the employer and aren’t in the group.
Even in Java, you can always use a switch based on enums or even int constants. The only thing missing would be exhaustiveness checking, but the other claims about extensibility or readability made in the article still hold.
The problem with your idea is that the court is sometimes weighing/balancing competing rights and responsibilities from separate parts of the Constitution.

COVID-19 made this much worse, but the current system is too complicated. It took me years to learn how to navigate it and it's probably going to change dramatically again very soon.

Most ACA plans are a ripoff if you're not getting a subsidy. Who can save $9,000 in a year for a deductible while paying $1,000 a month in premiums? Nobody I know.

It's well-known that hospitals jack up their prices. It's a crooked system. Good luck fixing that with a magic wand from Washington.

But- it seems to me that the underlying problem is the epidemic of chronic illness. Chronic illness is crippling this country. We're spending so much because we're actually all sick.

I'd like to know, what's making us sick?
According to the article

It is reasonable to believe that this data set is not representative.
No, it is, at least in CA, and you have to have both parties agree if you want something else.

Get married to a person who refuses to work and then get a divorce. Guess what? They will, by default, be entitled to the standard of living established during the marriage.
Starting at even 8:30 would have been life changing for me. I, like you, just couldn’t fall asleep before midnight (still don’t). Not that I think we should accommodate people like me that naturally are later, but the average 16 year old isn’t happily waking up at 6 am.

I totally agree that if we focused on getting kids a reasonable amount of sleep and a healthy meal or two (and hydrated!), we’d likely be able to have much better outcomes.
