I agree on the point of websites getting slower, but not on that it doesn't add value. Website nowadays replace a lot of what would've been desktop applications ten years ago (see Dropbox, Slack, Google Docs, ...). It's not perfect, of course, - a lot of data now lies on PCs owned by somebody else - but skipping the installation/deinstallation part easily while also knowing that the app only has limited access to my PC is absolutely awesome.
It's not "irrelevant" when it comes to spreading COVID though.
Why would you want to edit code on your mobile locally?

I set up my phone to code recently and the first thing I did was set up my editor to connect to a remote server.

Editing local files seems counter productive since you would think you would be doing most of your development not on a phone.

Would be interesting to know whether Dell will use the signing key to unlock the CPU if you ship it to them, or if it's like old motherboards where there is a physical procedure (it was typically to powercycle with a jumper between two pins that shouldn't normally be joined) to reset it, built into the hardware. Seems strange to be able to "brick" a CPU like that.
>The biological point still exists.

>It is our biological purpose I believe through the science of evolution, however.

The science of evolution doesn't say that it is our purpose. In fact, biology students are sometimes even trained to rewrite statements about natural selection that imply any teleology (stuff like "in order to"). Again, saying that something is the biological point is as meaningless as saying that the physical point of the sun is to become a red giant.

There have been a couple in the wild, but they aren't super common.

They've become a bigger concern with UEFI since it has a massive attack surface compared to legacy BIOS.

For a processor sitting in AWS / Azure, they want guarantees, and they're the ones EPYCs are designed for.

The responsibility has to rest with the processor, since it's the only thing executing code prior to UEFI. What it's doing is validating that UEFI was cryptographically signed with the correct key prior to running any UEFI code.
When it's first used, it is saving the key for the vendors UEFI implementation and won't allow it to proceed if the root signature ever changes (think something similar to root certs for HTTPS).

It's only relevant to Secure Encrypted Virtualization insofar as they are both implemented inside the PSP which is a separate ARM core that runs at a higher privilege level than the x86 cores (and is the core that actually initializes the x86 cores).

This is how all phones have worked for many years, but apparently it's now becoming a thing in servers too.
Now if only you understood empathy.

This idea assumes that the interior of the tower is empty space that could be used by the moving weight. Towers have an elevator for maintenance personnel that would reduce the available space. I'm guessing that the towers aren't high enough to store enough energy to justify the cost of the extra equipment.

I doubt that suspending the weight is the main structural issue. It's the high center of mass when the weight is at the top.
Chicken became the rich world’s most popular meat
> Are UEFI rootkits an actual concern, like are they common in the wild?

If one segment needs to worry about UEFI rootkits, it's cloud vendors. Very dedicated (nation-state sponsored) attackers could burn/use a zero-day hypervisor escape to installs a UEFI rootkit that tampers with the processor's integrated HSM (as said in the article, tampering with it has already happened and the exploits have been patched by AMD). As I understand it, If a vendor uses full memory encryption, the above exploit could lead to decrypting and exfiltrating other customers' data.

I was thinking of combining techniques. Best case scenario in USA is something like Owens Valley: 14,000 at its peak, but 4000 feet at the bottom of the valley.

Leading to ~10,000 feet (or nearly 2-miles) of elevation change. From there, you can dig another mile underground, leading to 1-mile (under ground), or -1000 feet elevation, to a peak elevation of 14,000.

If a tower were built on the top of the mountain: you could gain another 2000 feet or so on top: so maybe 16,000 (a 2000 foot tower on top of the mountain peak) to -1000ft (1-mile deep from the bottom of the 4000-ft elevation valley), for a total differential of 17,000 feet.

Ignoring earthquakes and other issues, of course. :-) Just purely from a hypothetical perspective: working with nature and the natural landscape seems like it'd be better than "just" digging a hole.

EDIT: Repurposing abandoned mine shafts might be worthwhile, depending how deep they are.
You'd compare the relative simplicity and complexity of a nuclear reactor to this "dig a hole in the ground and drop a weight" scheme ?

Regardless of your thoughts on Nuclear, this is clearly a much simpler device. Also, I suspect the failure modes in this are pretty boring ...

I'm surprised nobody mentioned about D language for AI type of applications.

It's a very fast compiled language and compile faster than most of its competitors.

I supports interactive programming with rdmd and can work as a kernel inside Jupyter notebook through Jupyter's wire protocol[1].

It has friendly python vibe to it due to default to GC based ecosystem (but you choose to let go the GC where appropriate).

With the introduction of DPP, its FFI capability to C/C++ is second to none if the needs arise to interface with the existing libraries in those languages and it can also easily interface seamlessly with python and R libraries! [2]

It also has a growing library for big data analysis [3] and one of the main users of D is WekaIO, one of the prominent big data companies with the claim of the world's fastest file system for data storage [4].

If you insist on multiple dispatch style like Julia, you can emulate it as well in D [5].

If you want to see the glimpse of what D can offer for data science domain please check this "D is for Data Science" article [6].

Finally if you want to see D in action against Julia and Chapel for kernel matrix calculations that's common in AI type of applications please check this post [7].

I am _so_ happy the newest vehicle I own is a 2004 model, and only 1 of my 4 vehicles is "modern" enough to have fuel injection - on all the others the most sophisticated electronics are the spark/ignition timing black boxes (for which there are aftermarket and even open source alternatives...)

I'm not sure I'll make the rest of my time out without buying something newer and "digital", but I fully intend to keep my stone age motorcycles for at least as long at I can legally ride them...
There is a subtlety here, which I'll attempt to get into (and we'll see whether I'm downvoted for it too).

"Death to all cops" is bad for one reason: it endorses the idea of extrajudicial, unaccountable killing.

"Death to all Jews" is bad for two reasons: it endorses the idea of extrajudicial, unaccountable killing of people, based on an immutable aspect of their person and independent of choices that they have made.

If I understand you right, you're not endorsing the idea of extrajudicial, unaccountable killing (but, being charitable to the downvoters, I suspect that they think you're endorsing the former statement wholesale). You're just protesting the false equivalence between these two statements. I would agree with that protest: there is a meaningful difference between, say, "Cops are controlling our society without accountability and we should remove them from power" and "Jews are controlling our society without accountability and we should remove them from power," and you can quite sensibly come up with platform guidelines that say that the former is fine and the latter is not.
Hi -- thanks for asking! I'm especially proud of that part of the application because it took a lot of effort to get right ... it was actually the most difficult part to design and implement. In the end, I'm very happy with the result.

It seems motivated by ad dollars. If a potential customer wants to sell vitamins to someone with far right views, the platform needs those customers to be active.

It needs them to provide signals so that it can identify who to show the ads to. Its that simple. I met up with a friend who spends thousands a day on Facebook ads.

I have only spend $20 a week at most before, but it was just for testing. I had no idea how the latest system works. He opened my eyes to how valuable the profiles of people are to Facebook.

"A big part of the resentment is that a person who chose to have children ends up being able to be excused from work to take care of children, while a person who has no children is not as easily excused to do what they want to do, because it is deemed low priority compared to children."

So, a few problems here:

1. Parenting is not a choice when you have children in your home.

2. Most parents do not want to be woken up in the middle of the night to change a diaper, only to have their child pee on them while they do so.

3. It is not about priorities. Children need adult caregivers because they cannot survive on their own. COVID restrictions have upended childcare arrangements but children still need care, and when nobody else is available it is up to parents to provide care for their children. Nobody is weighing childcare against other possible non-work-related activities, because childcare is not optional.

4. If like me someone has a toddler in their home, working from home is difficult. Even with a nanny around to watch my son, he still wants to see what mommy and daddy are up to in the "office." He has no concept of us being busy with work; from his perspective it is more like, "Daddy is playing with something and it must be fun, I want to try it!" so he will run over and "type" on my keyboard (you try writing code while someone is randomly pounding on your keyboard). For people like me it is not that we are asking for time to be parents, but rather for our employers to recognize that by requiring us to work from home they are putting us in an environment where we cannot be as productive as we were at the office.

You might do something like:

extract_nix_version $(nix --version)
}

if you want set "IFS=$'\n'" globally, and still be able split on space "locally".

Establishing safety also involves a comparison with the control group. Otherwise you can't tell if the outcome in question is significantly more or less likely in the treatment population than in control.

The conversation is about the treatment of Uighurs in China, and the US reaction to it, no? If anything, I'm reacting to an attempted derailment of the conversation by comparing it to the (flawed) prison system of another country.

Of all the problems to fix with the US prison system, forced labor is so far down the list anyway. And yes, I do believe in consequences for actions, as do most people over the age of 25.

Does the US import that many tomato products from China? Most produce will be domestic, Mexican, or Chilean in the off season. Is there significantly tomato processing there?

Same with cotton. If this impacts clothes, that could be significant, but I don't think of China as a big textiles player, and the US still produces a lot of cotton, it just doesn't weave it or make clothes from it.
You make a good point, but I'm sure the rate of decay matters a lot in this situation as well. Properly treated wood used as building materials could last decades or even centuries without significantly decaying if planned and managed properly[0], but a dead tree on a forest floor will decay very quickly. If we start rapidly growing trees en masse, it might work almost as well to imagine some grand building projects in lieu of giant sealed burial pits. Likely, we would need to do both. And like each offered solution on this topic, plants alone will not fix everything. I'm also interested in some of the novel engineered materials we might be able to make with wood if we discover efficient processes to do so[1]. It irritates me a lot when people lazily say, "just plant trees", but they can for sure be part of the solution.

Good point about the shared line. They market 1 Gbps shared line as being shared between a max of 10 subscribers with worst case per-client bandwidth guarantee of 100 Mbps. On the other hand, the 9 commercial subscribers sharing the line could have different peak usage hours than residential users so hopefully you'd almost be dealing with that worst case.

Doesn't make you feel any better about the original claim or about the fact that the abuses took place?

To your first point: I have a problem with the unsourced claim that there have been 1000 instances in the past 10 years, which I could not find a source to confirm. To your second about which term I would prefer, I don't set myself up as an authority. But if the op meant 1000 people, he should have said 1000 people. I think it would be clearer than "instance." When I first read that, I wasn't sure if it means "a person" or "a case when a tomato farmer got busted." If the latter, then it would have been way more than 1000 people affected.
