Right, the issue is not the tunnel, it's the essentially infinite buffer. Any large buffer will have a negative effect.
Absolutely. My take of the events is that Ant and other major players were able to slow down the legislation all theae years (because they have a world of cash) and when it eventually managed to get out Ant tried to push through IPO as soon as possible. That was probably one of the fastest IPO.
Brilliant response.

I complained about Siri being _pushy_. It is. That's Apple's fault. If you opt out of Siri, that should be the end of it. It should not constantly nag you to enable it with an update-available style box and it should not drop a button in the button bar right above the delete key where it is guaranteed to get accidental presses.

We have seen something similar. Thousands of installs and immediate refunds in African countries far exceeding the number of 'real' installs. We contacted Google support but they just said everything is working as expected.

My experience with IDA versus Ghidra is that I would still vastly prefer IDA. Even without the decompiler, I found IDA's structure support quite useful for managing disassembly, and Ghidra's structure editing tool and assembly renaming were pretty poor when I tried playing with it, which is why I ultimately ended up resorting to editing objdump disassemblies to decompile the code, relying on Ghidra for the vtable analysis.

However, I use these tools strictly on a hobbyist basis, and I'm not sure that IDA Pro's price tag is really worth it. I think I might have a copy of IDA Free kicking about before they really gimped it, but what I really want is a working IDA on Linux.
The Voice of Tigger, Paul Winchell Also Invented an Artificial Heart
No, he's quoting Modern Monetary Theory. The state theory of money is not due to Graeber -- it goes back to the 19th century.
Most of Project Cybersyn never materialized, especially the high-technology aspects, because the whole idea was rather abstract. They hired the guy who literally wrote the book on cybernetics, and he was mostly inventing and writing software on-the-fly. There's a reason the cybernetic revolution never materialized--it was mostly fluff. Not pseudo-science, per se, but unchastened by the real world. There's only so much mileage you can get out of, e.g., analogizing the machinations of the human economy to a PID controller.

As the thread article says,

> the second serious issue with a centrally planned economy was data quality: Central planners’ knowledge about the input requirements and output capabilities of individual factories was simply not as good as the people actually working in the factory.

Solutions to that aspect of the problem constituted most of Cybersyn's real-world achievements. But they're sort of boring. They mostly consisted of installing voice and data lines to the management offices of factories and cajoling them to send, on a daily basis, their production numbers along with short-term expected input requirements.

Yes, the Cybersyn experiment was cut short by the coup. But the mention of the U.S. is gratuitous. The coup was driven by industrialists and a fear of communism. Orders for the coup were given the imprimatur of the most powerful senators, and tacitly by a majority of the senate. (The leftists' thin margin eroded as moderates broke rank.) Allende's original vision, after nationalization of a small number of key industries, was harmonious cooperation between central planners and the rest of the free market. But there was too much resistance, as reflected in the difficulty Project Cybersyn had in simply collecting data. Part of the resistance was cultural (it's just not how people were used to working), and part of it was deliberate, politically motivated opposition. In frustration Allende increasingly turned to more forceful measures for "controlling the means of production", reneging on some of his promises regarding the extent of nationalization. Eventually he pushed the country too far and he was assassinated by, basically, the capitalist class. (Especially for a South American country, Chile historically was and remains quite conservative. Just as in the U.S., much of the lower classes are as capitalist as the elite, especially when faced with concrete socialist policies, as opposed to the promises.) The U.S. had no hand in any of it. It's only role, AFAIU, was placating the fears of the coup architects by promising asylum if the coup failed, and those promises came after planning for the coup was well underway.
>if there is no fuel available to refuel, the system will wedge itself and effectively need to be rebooted!

Komrade, clearly there is nothing wrong with the design. You just forgot to press the AZ-5 button.
I feel like there's some over-reaction here. You pretty much have to either:
1. allow blanket access to all executables
2. perform some sort of validation/verification

Most people are not as technical as the people on this site, and we know that blanket access to all executables is not a great idea. MacOS is not immune to malware.

Having executables be signed means the signature has to be checked and the certificate has to be checked to see if it hasn't been revoked. I don't see how to do that without "phoning home" and checking, tbh.

I mean yes Apple could enable some expert setting or something for developer/expert types where you can say "trust me I know what I'm doing" but a lot of people who don't know what they're doing will enable that and then malware will run rampant again.

It's a shitty situation. But I'm not going to go down the paranoia rabbit-hole of assuming this is done to spy on me. At least not yet.
I imagine trying to purge voter roles when someone moves form one state to another. But the different states allow different characters. In Florida we start allowing emoji.
That’s a really great idea. Not hard I don’t think
The problem with this claim is that it is not that easy to see it in the evidence. While nearly all the richest countries are democracies and nearly all the poorest countries are dictatorships, the causality could go the other way - or something else could have made countries both rich and democratic. If you look at growth rates you don't see big differences. You have to work quite hard to find differences (though some people think they can: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdfplus/10.1086/700936).
Seriously, the bluetooth chipset in my MBP 2018 at work sucks balls. If I try to listen to music on my bluetooth headset as well as using a bluetooth mouse it stutters, and the mouse cursor is jittery.

If I use the same mouse and headset on my Dell Precision 5520 I don't suffer from these issues.
> I see folks all the time that say some dismissive equivalent of "oh it's a lease, I just charge to 100% every day"

Guilty as charged :). We charge our Model 3 to 80%. But my wife's Bolt is a lease, so we just left it at the default so it always has maximum range.
This is just so odd. It might not hit "intellectual curiosity" levels but I will listen to "their tops are made out of rubber" differently :-)

The whole point of business is to accumulate power.

Accumulate enough power and you are an "authority"

Therefore a system that facilitates business ("capitalism" or whatever) is implicitly authoritarian.

Right?
Sorry but this is utter bullshit. In the toxic melting pot that is today’s public opinion, the lesson learned is never admit you’re wrong EVER. The moment you publicly express remorse you are done. The master of this is Ricky Gervais eg https://youtu.be/uEawbnXaIDs

No one will care of remember whether you found some way to apologize. The only thing groupthink will remember is whether you could be intimidated or not. If you can’t be intimidated groupthink will quickly grow bored of you.
> Central planning might appear as a "good idea", until your linear programming model has to deal with factors of production that are counted in small quantities (eg. highly specialized machinery), at which point the so called "tragedy of the integers" degenerates any model you throw at the problem.

Central planning might appear as a "good idea", until your linear programming model runs into a typical union bureaucrat.

Attributing the failure of union's system to "bad math" is like saying a man dying from old age dying from a heart disease.

The biggest reason, eclipsing all others, for the economic ruin of the union was the extreme, omnipresent corruption of everything economics.
A fair point. Consider that the NSA has the ability to push code changes faster than the open source community can analyze. Also, it's entirely conceivable that the NSA has the expertise to inject RCE vulns into the codebase, and make it look like an honest mistake.
I would like to know more details. Specifically, what changed in 2020 that makes it no longer a risk? I ask because I have a 2020 Bolt sitting out in my driveway.
That's interesting considering the M1 is 2.6 TFLOPS.

Whoever said we're only banning the state from filming public areas? And before you try to convince me that's weird, please note that there are already laws that prevent people from filming anything other than their own private property (with some minor leeway).

And it's not like a law against cameras would be impossible to enforce. At the very least in the widespread constant surveillance scenario the government is entirely aware of the existence and location of the cameras.
But we do want people getting paid low wages to continue working for low wages even though their risks are higher because they made choices or were born into circumstances that led them to not have work from home jobs.
I can read fear and discomfort between the lines of every second post here. This is clearly a game changer and the beginning of the end for Intel. And if Windows manufacturers can’t come up with an alternative soon they will be all in trouble too.
Well of course he did at the precise moment there were no observers or witnesses or he wouldn't have been able to do it, they'd have seen him and stopped it.

If there was some vast conspiracy, why wouldn't they have just killed him before he was in custody when it would have been far easier?
Personal experience says this is 100% true. I can do all the other things perfectly but if I don't get enough sleep and consume a ton of social/news feeds, forget about it.
No, many integrated graphics fail at driving things like 4k displays.

I'd like to hear an answer to this question, too. Though I wonder if the camps in Xinjiang are counted in those statistics....
This is basically "the decline of America, in charts" and it's pretty depressing to read. A lot of the information here confirms that things started broadly going south at the end of the 1970s and never really recovered. Also interesting is looking at the longer-range charts and seeing how much World War II really unified America on many different fronts.
There was a tweet posted here a couple of weeks ago [0] which highlighted the sad state of Tetris for iPhone.

I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought that the beloved original version was developed in the Soviet Union and then capitalism turned it into...whatever it is now.

And if your goal is to make money then I guess the capitalist version is right on schedule. But if your goal is to provide a stimulating (and mildly fulfilling imo) interactive entertainment that doesn't rot your citizens' minds and bank accounts then it's not quite as clear.

That is technically correct, but green threads were available in Java 1.1 :). They just weren't popular enough (I guess).
Weird! Not setuid on my ubuntu machine.
The bolt has over the air update capabilities, but iirc, it was used only once in the past 4 years.
And the bolt has an option to limit charge to X%. I set mine to about 80%, and it's plenty for my needs. So you can leave your car plugged in all day long
I just put enough steam tanks for two fulings worth of production, then setup logic so that an inserter fires once to insert fuel in each reactor when the amount crosses under a bit under half remaining (and becomes retriggerable at a bit over half remaining).

In theory, since my turbines are slightly oversized for the reactors, under very high load it could possibly never get back above my reinsert level. But I've never had that happen and I have a siren set to go off if the steam tanks get under 25% and a constant combinator button I can press to insert fuel manually if that ever happens.

of course, by the time I got that going, I also had the breeder reactors working fine and with them in place the nuclear cells are really hardly expensive anymore.
I can remember the days of using a lead pouch with film when I was traveling.

> Facebook isn't a public utility that is somehow obligated to relay and promote all speech equally

I understand what Facebook is and isn't obligated to do. I'm not saying they are obligated to be neutral. They are not obligated to play the role of speech police either. I am saying it would be better for society as a whole if they leave adults to make up their own minds about speech. Speech should not be controlled by corporations.

Yes, they can impose whatever limits they want. That doesn't meant that it's good or that we should be happy about it or that we are not allowed to question whatever limits they impose.

And sure you can argue "just don't use Facebook". That is fine, for now. Facebook is a large, but not completely necessary part of society. What happens when it becomes larger and more necessary (or another company does) and we've already imbued them with the power to decide what people are and are not allowed to say? Do you think then they'll just give that power up?

Have you seen that episode of Black Mirror where you can literally ghost people? I forget exactly, but there was some way to punish people by making them physically invisible and inaudible, so they had could barely interact with the world. I guess they could still eat, but they couldn't talk to or be acknowledged by anyone.

Obviously, getting banned from Facebook is not that, but it's maybe Version 0.01 of that, and I get the distinct impression that people here would be perfectly fine with that as long as it happens to people they don't like.
Out of curiosity, what kind of SaaS is it?
Greenpeace is _still_ vehemently anti-nuclear in 2020, and the data has been in for quite some time, so.

Looks pretty good against Intel's new Xe Max:

https://gfxbench.com/compare.jsp?benchmark=gfx50&did1=907542...

It's not the 4-6x in raw graphics improvement advertised but at 10W vs Xe Max's 25W for just the GPU, the M1 getting 50% more fps, that's still 3.75x in perf/watt.
late reply sorry.

this article is about laptops, & weirdly, thanks to Microsoft, you are right; many arm laptops are do have secure boot systems that respect the user!

I was mainly thinking of every other breed of arm consumer device, like phones & tablets. For a couple years we were getting unlockable devices- I think maybe by law?- but now all these Android & other devices are usually locked down & wont let the user install an os on to the device. which is especially brutal & butter when devices often stop receiving major is updates after a two or three years.
I came across this sometimes ago, I don't have any personal experience with their laptops but they seems promising.

The way I see it, there are three sides right now: the left, the right, and Donald Trump. Much (not all) of the right has been convinced that their only hope of saving the country from an evil, terrible fate is to throw in with Trump. Trump himself acts out of pure, unadulterated narcissism. I honestly think accusing him of attempted coup is giving him too much credit: he simply does whatever he wants, at any given moment. He doesn't want to lose, so he says he didn't lose (without any real plan to prevent it). He is a petulant child.

Here's what I know: I have lots of family and some friends on the right. And as confusing and frustrating as the past four years have been, I continue to believe that most of them are good people. I have the ability to mentally frame things in such a way that I can see where they're coming from, how they slipped down this slope, why they think Trump really is their last hope. The reality of the situation - and all of the things that really are very wrong with it - is extremely complicated. But labeling all conservatives as nazis is not only wildly inaccurate, it further marginalizes people and pushes them towards more and more ethical compromises that they feel are necessary to ensure the continuation of their way of life. Nazis exist, and they do tend to align themselves with the right, but treating them as representative of the whole is a gross oversimplification that we can't afford to be making.
That doesn't really explain everything else does it? The guards, the cameras, etc. And if he was the type to kill himself, wouldn't he have done so the first time he got caught?

> It's much more of a stretch the imagine a vast conspiracy to kill him.

For normal people, but not a guy who had "awful secrets" that many people in power don't want revealed.

> I'm going to prefer the simplest explanation 9 of 10 times.

Except occam's razor isn't on your side here. The simplest answer here is a conspiracy. Not suicide. Occam's razor says he was killed.

The guards not looking after him while he was on suicide watch. The cameras not working. Didn't medical examinations also show trauma rather than suicide.
They send MUCH MUCH more than that - and you cannot opt out.

It’s not as hard as you make it up to be, you simply have to instill values in the population which promote diversity of thought, independent thought, and recognition of moral signaling behavior.

The major problem with the left leaning political spectrum in america is a somewhat blind authoritarian “respect” for “diversity” where what counts as diverse is rather restricted and generally doesn’t include disagreement on the subject.

The key missing ability is getting people to empathize with each other and not to confuse radical ideas which one finds abhorant and moderate ideas one finds disagreeable.

A cheap way to make this much easier is to ban labels like political party, gender, etc. If you stop sorting people (and yourself) into bins it becomes a whole lot more difficult to be so polarized as you aren’t dividing the world into us and them by dealing with a new human one by one.
I also apologize more than usual. Even at work. But I've also learned that if someone is unfairly trying to blame me I will vigorously defend myself. Maybe even going a fair bit over the top. I feel like people learn pretty quickly that I'm not someone they can just dump stuff on -- I've literally had people say, "remind me not to mess with you".

I'm the nicest most contrite person you'll ever meet -- until I'm not.
> I hardly think making people face the consequences of their actions is authoritarian

"you must face the consequences" is perhaps the most authoritarian thing you could say when arguing in favor of severe penalties.

For me, it's the least acceptable level, it's lowest common denominator least-worst choice. In public life, it has become the first choice goto form. I believe its driven by two forces: lawyer and insurance company "never concede" drives, which are at best asocial, and an underlying belief on the part of the apologist they did no wrong.

If an apology is genuine, heartfelt, it requires no qualifications. If it is qualified something is not reconciled.

I agree that in hypothesis, an issue could be moot or open, but do you really think this predominates?

I am by the way a serial offender and a serial apologiser. I know from bitter experience how hard it can be to accept fault and apologise for hurt caused.

Elemental co-author here.

GeneralStrike and I are not the world's most talented programmers, and we wanted a Selenium wrapper which even we can add to and extend as the need arises.

We've worked really really hard to make sure that the Elemental code is dead simple to understand and intuitively structured.

It serves all of our needs at the moment and we'll add to it over time.

If you want a Selenium wrapper which is easy to extend, Elemental might be for you :)
It's a vendor pitch, so take it all with a nice grain of salt.

Protocol buffers have large problems in their own way. Just because Google produced them does not mean they are the right choice for any broader adoption than they already have.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18188519 for example, and note that the the discussion on personal vs technical aspects has already happened.

I agree with the idea of schemas for API definition. JSON and XML are more transport-level, lacking major semantics that must be enforced in the software, Therefore, schemas need to be expressed with language bindings.

Protocol buffers have good traction here because of the investment that Google has made in IDL with multi-language bindings. There are other serialization formats as well with many language bindings, but investment in the IDL needs to be made. The OP is drafting off of Google.

So, yes to the thesis and no to one of the conclusions.
I find it interesting the same headline and story can be interpreted as either:

1) Chinese government is totalitarian and corrupt and creating arbitrary rules for people and things they don't like and

2) Chinese government and regulators are doing their job, and this IPO and Ant in general are the ones rent seeking and playing it loose.

I suspect partially how it's interpreted depends on your political slant and how ones views China.
