It's a good way to reduce the number of cables and PSU's I have to carry around.
It's true that it's complex but the only problem is people not reading the specs/manual when they buy something. Other than that I use the same USB Type-C cable for my external monitor, tablet, phone, work laptop, USB HDD's. I only carry 2 identical cables instead of god knows how many. If anything I'd like to see the day when all devices use the same port.

Yup. The Rwanda genocide was incited by radio.

You could also argue that the original rise of Fascism was enabled by mass propaganda becoming possible where it wasn't really previously, but that's so overdetermined it's hard to attribute to particular causes.

Then there's the original SARS of bad memetic propaganda, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Piece of leafleting from the early 1900s that's contributed to the deaths of millions.

Raspberry Pi4 bootloader EEPROM release 2020-09-14 (Supports booting from USB)
Eh, the global market succeeded and was profitable back when China was almost entirely sealed off from the world. The global internet market succeeds and is wildly profitable despite being mostly locked out of China by the firewall.

I wonder if China will say that the manufacturing of all ARM devices in China will be illegal.

CPUs aren't manufactured in China to begin with. Ditto for many other of the complex components of electronic devices. China handles final assembly and the parts that are easier to make.

If you're proposing China forbidding the manufacture of any electronic device that contains an ARM core anywhere physically inside it, sure, they could do that. They'd gut their own economy and risk an uprising given how much their "legitimacy" relies on economic success. Assembly of electronic devices is easily moved around, some of it is already moving to cheaper places like Vietnam simply because Chinese labour has been getting more expensive over time as the country develops. Which is cheaper: packing up and relocating a factory to a country with lower labour costs and a significantly less aggressive government, OR, redesigning your entire product and (for phones/TVs) breaking compatibility with huge numbers of your apps to strip out ARM in favour of something significantly less performant? Moving the factories will always win that comparison.
The F.B.I. tried to recruit an Iranian scientist as an informant. When he balked, the payback was brutal.
I don't think this has anything to do with boredom. I'm can concentrate in silence but I still find it uncomfortable simple because:

a) No additional stimulus

b) Silence is easy to break. Both at home and in the office. And sudden noise during this silence kills concentration for me for good.
Well, as a software engineer who wrote first line of code in 1991 and as a CTO of a medium sized company I would disagree here. These solutions do not suck. They work, they are cheap and they are efficient in addressing the business needs. You don’t always need a developer for simple automation, just like you don’t need a computer to calculate 2+2. Abstraction leaks, third party solutions and other things you mention are not the problems that always need a solution. Developers often overthink scalability and invest time in perfection of a code which will become obsolete in a year or two because of the change in the business model. It is there you can find the art of engineering: in finding the right problem to solve, rather than working on the problem for which you know a conventional solution. Zapier is unconventional, but it takes 30 minutes there for something that a development team would require a week or two. The limitations do exist, but it often takes some courage to understand that in your specific case you can ignore them.
This can speed up your legacy site at most 200-300 ms. If your page load time is above 500ms, this won't do much...
Yes, it's an increase in storage size. However, it might be a decrease in network bandwidth.

It doesn't take many bits for me to send you the illegal prime in decimal exponent representation:
k*256^211+99

With a sufficiently powerful CPU on the receiving end, you can decode that into DeCSS. I would enjoy being able to send you a picture just by telling you a prime number like that.
Code is a living thing- as is the ecosystem around it. Once its done- and the golemn-creator moves on, the project freezes in time, and over time breaks down.

If not censorship, there is self-censorship in the scientific community. Who wants to sacrifice its carrier, funding, link with chinese labs?

Even if not told aloud or published, entire teams are intimately convinced the virus was released by the Wuhan BSL4, although not necessarily intentionally.

I am not surprised only "politically motivated" scientists try to break that out.

I am absolutely not in favor of Bannon either.
I assume the OP, being an expert in a relevant field, has enough information to form and express an opinion. Myself, I am not an expert in a relevant field and so I have no idea whether one needs to know how much phosphine was found before smelling a rat.

From what I've read, the amount of phosphine plays a role, i.e. if there's lots of it it's a stronger sign of life. However, that's what I've read in the lay press that reports on the opinions of experts. Now, the thing about the opinions of experts is that there are always other experts that hold a completely different opinion and when you read an interview with one expert they very strongly support their own opinion, but don't really do justice to the opinions of others- because that's not their job. So it's often hard to know which expert's opinion is closest to the truth by reading what one team of experts tell the lay press. Science is a debate, after all- but not a debate carried out in news sites and internet forums (or at least not primarily there, I understand theoretical phycisists like their internet flame wars).

So, personally, before accepting anything as evidence of this and that, I'll just wait patiently until the dust has settled and the experts have agreed to disagree.

I wish more people did that when it came to my own area of expertise, btw. What I say above is what I've observed on reportage of my own field in the lay press.
> Putting the Bannon label aside,

No. The Bannon label is the problem here. White collar way to start dumpster fires.

This is malice. Knowingly and actively undermining public trust in the scientific method. Whatever works to make two stones fight.
Wait, you don't think people in China would be afraid of outing their government's nefarious deeds? Even in the U.S. our whistleblowers like Snowden have to run to Russia and face exile at best. How many people work in the NSA that could have said something but didn't? Now add that China isn't afraid to jail hundreds of thousands of people if it has to to get compliance. It's not afraid to harvest the organs of prisoners either. Add that they literally control all communication in the country behind a tightly controlled firewall.
I work from home and have done so for a couple of years. It all depends, like most stuff in life. It depends on the person working from home, their situation, what their job is etc.

It works great for me since I have a dedicated office at home which is larger than any office space I've had before. I can have this because I can live on the country side where housing is cheaper.

I can walk my dogs when I need to and I can focus a lot more here than I ever could in an open office. I have respect for people who claim they cannot and see no reason (except a pandemic) why people should always work from home. I can imagine why a 20-year old in his or her 20 square meter apartment isn't as productive as they would be at a big, bright office. For me, if I had to go to an office, I would have to leave my dogs in some dog care facility in the morning, stressing in my commute to work since I am forever a optimist when it comes to time. I wouldn't feel good, I would be tired and unable to focus. I have been there and done that. I know I am more productive at home.

I think it's nice to offer people the ability so that for the people who thrives in it (like me) can have the ability to work from home.

It has been hard, because the WFH mentality is either all or nothing. Why can't people and companies simply be a bit more laid back and offer both? The world isn't black and white, just let people decide for themselves since we are all grown ups.

I expect companies not to treat me as a child and so should you.

> Open Source seems to have an irrational fear of done.

Older open source was more okay with this, but it's a huge issue with the modern JS/github model, where quality is measured by recent updates, "stars" within the last month etc.
Nomophobia: A Silent Killer
You don't understand! Orange man bad, "birds of a feather flock together", ergo orange man's associates are bad. Ergo anything they say or support must also be bad, it's simple common sense.
Indeed it doesn't. I have a 120Hz CRT on one of my old PCs where moving/resizing windows, etc feels butter smooth so i decided to buy a 165Hz monitor for my main PC to try and capture the same experience.

All i ended capturing was something approximating the experience i had back when Windows allowed me to disable the compositor which wasn't vsynced. It still doesn't feel as smooth, just smoother. Nowhere near the smoothness of my CRT though.
Trusting the "mainstream" and the "establishment" is historically a poor bet when it comes to science that is controversial by nature.

Consider what a humanist scientist would want to believe to be true:

- Nature bestowed yet another pathogen upon humanity

or

- Science caused an accident that killed a million people

Even if it was a lab accident, it would be difficult to blame the whole of China for it. More likely, scientific work itself would be blamed, which could eradicate entire lines of research, threatening the livelihood and reputation of many scientists and lab workers.

Though I am skeptical, I myself would like to believe the first scenario to be true. I might even be inclined to believe that misleading the public on it is the right thing to do, all potential consequences considered.
> So, in that case, would TLS still be useful?

Because again the scope of encryption offered by wireless operators is different from TLS. It is like asking if encrypting your disks makes TLS pointless.

TLS encrypts traffic between your computer, and some resource on the internet.

WPA3 encrypts communication between your computer and the wireless access point, no further. The wireless provider's encryption will similarly only encrypt data between your device and the wireless provider's equipment.

They are not designed to do the same thing. Technically WPA3 and and other wireless networking encryption is not needed if you are using TLS, because the scope of encryption of TLS covers the data going to your wireless provider or the wireless access point, but not everything is TLS - and even TLS still leaks DNS in many cases. And even if it was not leaking DNS there are still things that would be better for others to not know when you are using TLS.

> It works great with a compositor on Linux! Ultra smooth mouse and input response at 144Hz, and completely tear-free. I would highly recommend it for developers as well.

I got a 165Hz monitor and while it is indeed smoother than a 60Hz monitor with a vsync'd compositor, it still isn't as smooth as a 60Hz monitor without a compositor.

How can it "fall" when JPMorgan doesn't actually _produce_ anything?
The reason that ARM is only worth 30-40 billion while powering nearly all smartphones and much of the embedded space is because their business model is not that profitable. If Nvidia is looking for profits, ARM is a bad investment. If they are looking for synergies to boost nVidia profits, it will be done at the expense of other licensees. That's exactly what people fear.

Yeah, IIRC originally the nginx/lua integration was more about dynamically extending the core features and configuration, like virtual hosts or proxies.

But that does get you a pretty high-speed interface, if you're willing to bet your money on both nginx and lua.

Credit where credit is due. The great West Indian fast bowler Michael Holding correctly gave Latimer the credit for the carbon filament. Politicians on the other hand, distort the message.

> Wineburg, one of the world's top researchers in the field of history education, raises larger issues about how history should be taught. He says that Zinn's desire to cast a light on what he saw as historic injustice was a crusade built on secondary sources of questionable provenance, omission of exculpatory evidence, leading questions and shaky connections between evidence and conclusions.

> Over time, however, a problem emerged as Zinn's book became the single authoritative source of history for so many Americans, Wineburg said. In substituting one buttoned-up interpretation of the past for another, Wineburg finds, A People's History and traditional textbooks are mirror images that relegate students to similar roles as absorbers – not analysts – of information. Wineburg writes that a heavily filtered and weighted interpretation becomes dangerous when "we are talking about how we educate the young, those who do not yet get the interpretive game."

A counter subject: how to ask for help online? Asking a well informed question will typically solicit higher quality answers.

Folks who sit back and shout RTFM are those who are burned out from people wanting them to do the work for them. If you’re trying to accomplish something you need to show some effort, too.
And social media is actually less dangerous in this regard then past media like radio and books, because it makes it easy to comment in a way that reaches the consumers of the original media. You can run a radio channel where you rail against ethnic prejudice, but the listeners of radio rwanda are unlikely to listen to your channel. You can write a book refuting the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" but the readers of the original are unlikely to read your book. Social media is different. If someone incites hatred against ethnic groups on facebook you can respond and reach the readers of the original post.
Can we just break his legs already?
You don't need a common IL to abstract the CPU. You just have to more tightly connect the compilers with the shipped computer. Azul Vega did this with JVM bytecode (the Vega chips had an undocumented and sometimes changing ISA), but with GraalVM/Truffle technology you don't need a bytecode anymore. For example, GraalVM can JIT compile LLVM bitcode.

Non-portability of bitcode is hardly an issue. OK, fix sizeof(long) to 64 bits, no big deal. GraalVM/Truffle can JIT compile bitcode to the underlying ISA which can then evolve free from backwards compatibility constraints. You can also JIT compiled Python, Ruby, R, JavaScript, Rust, FORTRAN, etc, all with the open source code that exists today.

If I were designing a new computer architecture from scratch this is the way I'd go. If you don't need to freeze or even properly document your CPU ISA it gives you way more ability to quickly deploy performance upgrades, quickly iterate on CPU designs etc. You can have a custom OS that bundles GraalVM and QEMU, for the cases where you can't recompile apps.
Sorry for being pedantic, but this app is measuring bandwidth, not lag (latency).

What exactly about the tone is "horrible"? That's a strong word and I did not perceive it that way.
The Nature article only underlines the similarities between Sars-Cov-2 and viruses in the wild. It uses that as an evidence that the virus comes from natural selection.

The similarity absolutely IS NOT an evidence of natural selection, neither guided selection or straight genetic engineering.

Although I am absolutely not in favor of Bannon, many scientists self-censor to preserve their carrier, funding, link with chinese labs. Only those in favor of the natural selection publish in well known journals.
I nearly sent back a headlight I purchased for my bike. I put it on my desk and tried charging it with my MacBook Pro's cable, my iPad Pro's cable and a couple other USB-C cables I use to charge other gadgets.

The light wouldn't charge. No LEDs would light up, it was like I never connected it to power.

Eventually I tried another cable I had in a drawer and it worked. Then I found another one that works.

I have no explanation. From my point-of-view they are all USB-C cables. None of them have any indication of what's different between them. They all connect to the same plugs. They all look the same but behave completely differently.

I now know that I can't just carry 1 or 2 USB-C cables. I need to find out which ones work with which devices and keep track of that.

You can't just pull out Wikipedia on forced sterilisations we all learned at high school.

You have to take that and logically apply that to this situation.

Why is there one doctor, the uterus collector, who's known for the supposed sterilisations?

If this is at the government level why are there not multiple doctors and hospitals involved?

Why are they doing hysterectomies over blocking or cutting the Fallopian tubes?

HN should be better than 4chan, it's not, but it should try.

You need a holistic theory. Indifference and a rogue doctor doing it for money for instance, would make sense.
There are still distributions that do not use systemd though, e.g. two that come to my mind are Slackware if you are more conservative or Void if you prefer a rolling distro.

And TBH IMO the choice of window system affects way more the day-to-day operations of a desktop oriented distribution than the init system ever did, so i expect slightly more friction about removing Xorg (as a sidenote the server is Xorg, X11 is the protocol and another server - most likely a fork of Xorg - can continue providing it if Xorg shuts down).
Ahh this is a super useful comment. Thanks for the insight. I will think about how I can get more language pairs too.

I did just finish my first ML CV project recently so kind of in the head space.
Voting rights as a whole are about 2 centuries old. The United States, as young as it is, is the oldest continuous democracy in existence. The United States came out of a world of empires and war and conquering, which is how the world was for almost all of human history. Not a square mile of it hasn't had blood spilt over it several times over. At any rate, it was Thomas Jefferson who encoded the bold words "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights." in our founding documents. That the world wasn't ready for its eventual conclusion didn't matter. A seed was sown. And that same language was used by MLK (himself taking full advantage of the first amendment to effect change). Lot of powerful and timeless ideas there.
