They seem to be using a lot of chip surface to do some passive components (big featureless area) that are needed for the analog part. Going to 5nm will make the chip more expensive.

The 5 micro-watts of power come from RF harvesting where they are constrained by law to only emit less than 2W. Bringing the emitter closer, they probably can afford a bigger power budget. It would be great if they could 10x the sampling frequency.
Out of curiosity: Could an Indian of a lower caste change their name, or be named differently at birth, as to "fake" their way into a different caste?

This stuff annoys me to no end:

"white flour is ‘a pure starch so nutritionally void’ that by law vitamins must be added back into it. White flour must be fortified with calcium, iron, thiamin and niacin to make up for the fact that the nutritious part of the wheat has been taken away during the milling process."

In fact white flour is not pure starch (i.e. carbohydrates), it also contains proteins and fibers and some fat. And it's very nutritious, which means that it contain the calories and proteins we need most to get nourished. Of course you won't be healthy on a diet of flour alone, as you won't be healthy on any diet of a single basic ingredient, whatever it might be.
It’s “fixed” once you provision it. The other services like Lambda, APIGW, CodeBuild etc. vary according to usage.

Please re-read what I wrote. What I want is to argue the basic point - that surveillance is wrong and the government is overstepping a boundary. None of these can be argued against a corporation that simply sold the government what it asked for.
Maybe publishers who do well would proudly let their users know? A badge of sorts?

p.s. so here is an example of a J2EE startup back in ancient days. I remember interviewing with these guys in Boston. They were dreaming of the future "Component Market" and clearly attempting to execute on Sun's vision. [Sold to BEA and now Oracle] People either don't remember, or never understood, why Sun created JEE. (And apparently, neither did the execs in Sun who completely blew it.)

Some people have a switch then turns them into bug fixing demons. I know I get a rush out of fixing prod issues. People notice that, especially when you just jump into foreign code that you never touched and come out with a fix within an hour or two.

I tried to use VSCode for Java. Horrible experience.
Agree. One additional point to add: many people have some limited exposure to microcontrollers via Arduino and from that experience may have concluded that "Arduinos take around a full second to boot" without realizing that that delay is the bootloader timeout listening for new code download, completely unrelated to the inherent boot time of the underlying AVR.
So you believe that buying a house should be legal, selling a house should be legal, but renting a house should be illegal? Or you believe all land+buildings should be government owned?

And you believe the government should have a monopoly on buying/renting houses?

And how would government renting houses be different than landlords? If the government wanted to give rent flexibility they can do it other ways besides owning the houses.
The author cites three mediocre pop science books and is dismayed that after a single reading, he finds himself unable to impress people at parties with his knowledge.

He says those books each take "6 to 9 hours" to read. Life changing books are read over the course of...well...an entire life. I have a small handful of books that I have read dozens of times. These are books with very big, and very old, ideas. They have defined my outlook on life, they give me inspiration and ideas in hard times. I have read them in important life transitions at every step. Real wisdom and knowledge comes from years of contemplation of big picture ideas. It's hard, and it's not the kind of thing that you do to look smart. Reading books is just a way of getting through life and trying to make sense of the world - for yourself.
What Is the Meaning of the Word ‘Quran’?
Among all the different names given to this Holy Scripture, `the Quran` (al-Quran) is the most common and famous of them all. This is a name that the Almighty Allah has given to the Book. From the first years of the revelation to Prop

het Muhammad (s), it was called `the Quran` by the revelation itself. The term is repeated 68 times in the Quran, and except on two occasions (17:78), it means the Holy Quran or part of it.

In English it is written `the Koran` or `the Quran`.

About the meaning of the term `Quran`, there are two famous opinions:

1) it is driven from al-Qar` meaning `to collect`.
2) It is driven from `Qara` (to recite).

Thus, it is called `the Quran` for it is a Book to be recited (73:4), or because the revelation began by `Read` (96:1). The second opinion (driven from the root ‘to recite’) seems more accurate.
Great catch! Importance splitting is indeed a useful simulation technique for low probability events. The application of splitting based methods on bayesian models for extreme sample generation can be an interesting future work.
That is a wonderful article by Weinberg. I think it all boils down to adopt a personality who is curious, courageous, confident, humble enough to own her/his mistakes, ignorance and knowledgeable.

It was the first time that I encountered the word "endophasic" so I looked it up before my first reply. It isn't included in my local dictionary but the first Google search result defines it as:

> Being or pertaining to endophasia (internal, unvocalized speech).

I only mentioned it so people didn't have to look it up like I had to; I don't think our interpretation differs.

I quoted the first couple of sentences from the last three paragraphs of the article. Those paragraphs emphasize the exciting questions raised by this small study, including the important question you raised.

To be fair I only read the article and I didn't search for the study but I look forward to reading the book:

No charges brought under the US espionage act will ever see anything like a free trial. That is a part of how the espionage act works.

"Trevor Timm, executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, said, 'basically any information the whistleblower or source would want to bring up at trial to show that they are not guilty of violating the Espionage Act the jury would never hear. It’s almost a certainty that because the law is so broadly written that they would be convicted no matter what.'"

Why would you unify two unrelated things? I think privacy is a right and copyright is so overstretched it literally works against its original intention.

As an aside, the only part of "Intellectual Property" as an idea that I agree with is the right for an author to claim that they authored something. It shoudln't give them a right to control how its distributed or what people do with it. Why would you compare the rights of people to the "rights" of companies? Why would you defend enormous corporations? Disney doesn't have "knowledge". It's not a person.
Respectfully, fxtentacle’s point didn’t hinge on the technical definition of theft. I think they’re trying to point out that illicit data transfers are punished harshly when an individual does it but are considered standard practice and even (by some) praised when corporations do it.
> How is living at a property without paying for it any different than walking out of Walmart without paying for bread?

The difference is that failing to pay the rent isn't a crime.

Furthermore, according to the article

> The CDC has ordered a moratorium on evictions amid COVID-19 — making it illegal for landlords to force out tenants who can't afford rent during the pandemic

Which makes a certain number of evictions illegal at first place.
Is there anything that Palantir does that is not a subset of what Facebook does, and then some? One of these companies monitors you everywhere in the world, anticipates your behavior, and attempts to direct you to other outcomes.

Trusting tech is dangerously naive, but trusting values is all we can do. For people concerned, I'd ask, which company is going to effect your life outcomes more?
You know those notices about damages up to $150,000? My understanding is that’s only for registered copyrights. Copyright you didn’t register only entitles you to actual damages, which would be closer to $0 than the $1000 he was offered.

Bell got nailed by making a huge bluff, very risky.
The crux is that which are "the methods that you'll actually use" is very difficult to answer. A lot of effort is put into this on the Julia "Package compiler" and "Compiler" projects.
I guess what GP is saying: why would I want to join. "To get as many on the network as possible" isn't reason enough to convince me why I should sign up. If the point was to just get people to sign up and let them decide later what this is supposed to be it'll be a waste of time for most and it makes it sound like an ego-project (which would be a shame if it really is sincere).
Good question, thanks. I have added this to the FAQ on https://fossnode.net/.
I use Visual Studio for C# (haven't tried Rider yet) for the reasons you mentioned. However, I feel that VSCode more than capable as a platform. The intersection of tooling for C# and VSCode is really lacking compared to TypeScript.

Yeah, I read that another commenter on this forum mentioned that in one family, at most one person should be able to get benefit of affirmative action. That will spread the benefits much more evenly.

Does anyone know of a way to quantify the cost of ad-trackers in terms of cpu/memory/bandwidth/battery?
How much more responsive would websites be without all the trackers?
How much longer would we keep our phones if they didn't struggle under the weight of all this tracking?
How much less data center capacity would be required?
How much more bandwidth would be available?
Oh yes !

You're talking as if they care about the exploitation. It's done purposely. They simply don't care when it means greater profits. They also believe there's an endless line of devs they can burn out and throw away.

While I agree with you, public opinion probably does not agree with you. And the rhetoric by rights owners has always been downloading==theft. I've added a link to one such propaganda video to my original comment.
Next step: server-side tracking. With Firefox and Safari blocking JS tracking by default, many companies feel like they don't have other choice.
I think you've made my point for me. If moral lines are easy enough to move that people will "shovel Jews into gas ovens and pull out people's fingernails," it's not hard to find people more than glad to cross class lines to enforce laws, whether those laws are just or corrupt (and most laws are in the middle).

At the core, there are few or no internal "Do Not Cross" moral lines. Moral lines are first culturally-situated, and second, individually-situated.

Incentive structures set by the ruling class drive a huge part of culture. Media does too. There are a lot of tools to manipulate culture, and they're actively (and increasingly scientifically) used. At the end of a Roman Triumph -- a big celebration -- captured war prisoners would be strangled in front of an audience. In that culture, that was okay.

From there, you need to find just a few people, either divided, disgruntled, or of low moral character. If I want to keep poor Southern whites in-line in 1870, I can find blacks who hate them. If I want to keep poor Southern blacks in-line, I find poor Southern whites. There, we had a nice 50/50 split, but there will always be a few.

The expectation that "it's the turncoats fault" isn't a productive one. You need to fix systems, not individuals (with incentive structures around individuals are part of systems, of course).
Unless you mean a layer 3 switch a managed switch usually provides port level configurations. Such as VLANs and QoS features to prioritize VOIP or other traffic. The router will still control the network and a decent SDN controller can inform the network without having to perform device level configs but I digress.

With a layer 3 switch you can avoid hops to the router and also get some hardware acceleration. Although the lines are increasingly blurred between switch and router with hardware acceleration becoming popular all around. Most consumer routers are router/switch combos.

This is the real problem. Whatever Assange did can be judged, but media blackout and turning the process into a joke on everyone really drives home just how little both authorities and the people supposed to relay information are actually caring about everyone but themselves.

I have no way to judge one way or another anything about Wikileaks, but when we get a constant unavoidable stream of utter bullshit day-in day-out regardless of the news sources we attempt to check, the complete silence about this says more than a million words.
This is a good thing --- it lets you actually own the hardware you purchased! I wonder what it is about the security industry that seems to make it full of corporate bootlickers who are all too proud to find and "fix" these "vulnerabilities" and continue the trend of locking users out.

Reduce the overhead and need of making a native app as hype. There’s a lot of apps that are just glorified websites, and while fine, is an added cost on what could be wasteful effort to get no use. PWAs can be great bridge apps where you can test the need of a native experience without needing any of the internal tools. I see it as what can become an improvement for apps as they have the same ability to access the hardware for 80% of app’s use cases.

Boot is just an embedded Tomcat/Jetty included with all the different Spring libraries. That makes for an easily bundled application (single executeable jar which launches the web server including all the application code).

There are a lot of Spring libraries to learn about, but only a couple are actually required in a Spring boot app.
And if you really don't want to think about the server, Jekyll/Hugo/Next.js should all work pretty well with Github pages.

There are so many things the ST does badly - weak sound chip, screen memory laid out like a Venetian blind (to quote Jeff Minter I think), and a mouse that was designed in a universe where ergonomics did not exist.

But I still love it. Without the ST I wouldn't have discovered programming and all the highs (and lows) that it brings. Looking back now, I'm surprised people were able to get as much out of it as they did.
Most discs were rated to format to 80 tracks but some you could format with 81 or 82 and IIRC even 84 on some.

Then there was sectors, which was common to have 8, though again you could with better quality discs (quality did get better ahead of the standards) you could go with 9 sectors and higher - https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/basteln/PC/usbfloppy/f....

Of course, you could think of it as over-clocking - was no guarantee you get that extra capacity, and the early days - it was really luck, but like most things, quality improves and such avenues of formatting became more accessible.

I've found it curious that so few (any?) file systems allow for non-aligned starting blocks. Ie keeping an offset into the initial block. That would make prepending files rather trivial, as well as trimming the start of files (hello log files).

Of course performance would suffer due to non-aligned access, but just as for regular files one could demand aligned access for optimal speed.

Why are you telling me? I’m just stating the facts. People seem to think that getting random people to move tenants stuff on the street have to be gentle or they put themselves at risk of being sued.

My statements are

A) at least in my state, the police are there monitoring the actual eviction either way.

B) you don’t hire professional movers who are careful with the tenants stuff. No one does. There is no increased liability from using this service over getting day laborers.
Network administration (and system administration of about 150 linux machines) for about 10 years. I did a full port sweep of my network a few days ago, 1,555 IPs with port 80 open (although to be fair several of those are multi-IP connected). Before that 7 years of system administration and development.

My (my team's) network policy is that those web ports are not exposed on the internet - we provide proxies with 2 factor authentication up front. We find we get far happier users when we use carrots.

We operate a high wall policy, and while we do push towards a secure-everywhere system, we are more flexible that other corporate networks, and tend not to have exacting requirements. Your black box wants to use SNMP v2? Of course it does, that's fine. No you're not probing it from the internet though, we'll work with you to increase security.

If a team want a device that claims to run a proprietary protocol and needs TCP ports from the internet, that's fine, we do it. We discovered recently one of these devices was actually running a standard webserver on one of these ports after a firmware update. The device user didn't even know.

Ultimately we provide a network, you can take it or leave it, there's competition (go for one of the two non-shadow IT networks, or build your own).

I know from personal experience what happens when things go bad against my teams advice, all those emails saying "this will go bad" are work jack squat. Fortunately we had very air support for that specific event (front page national news), nobody cares about "I told you so".

The Stock Market Hangs on Not What You’d Think
Also in finance with dedicated support teams. Our support was great, some of our guys in Asia were outright fantastic at debugging.

To be fair, being great wasn't enough, their job was only possible because the company had unified tooling. A single deployment solution that was deploying near 1M tasks a day in the company, allowing all employees to lookup what is running where and see logs.

This made me appreciate just how useful it is to have both dedicated support AND unified tooling. The average company couldn't benefit from having folks on rota because it's impossible to figure out where anything is running.
Ignoring the whole "we should open/we should close" debate (I'm not an expert in economics or virology) it's perfectly possible for the vast majority of people to not want to go to bars/restaurants and to need to chose, as a group instead of individual, to close them to lower spread. I.e. >50% doesn't always have the same outcome as 100%

People do get a choice in the matter but part of that is people get a choice whether they want to act independently or enforce a choice (to some level) as a group.
I may be missing some complexity that's not clear from the description, but since all the resources should be available in AWS Config already, why is it using so much extra infrastructure? Why isn't it a "point me at AWS Config dump, I'll give you an explorable static page/SVG" script instead? (The cost part would have to reach out to billing and/or cloudwatch, but still...)

Or expressed a bit differently: what are the infra + 2 data stores doing that's a major improvement over processing raw AWS Config + CUR data which should easily fit in laptop memory. We're talking megabytes of data for a point in time snapshot, right?
