Interestingly this will probably mess up google search results as well. There are so many things in youtube that should have been a text post but are videos on youtube (for example how to do something technical), that somehow mysteriously come out as top results on google search. They've been rendered even more useless than they were before. I'm already not willing to sit through a video if it could have been text, but I'm sure some people are. I wonder if a slate of ads before, and during, will kill of that type of content.

Honestly, I consider the existence of such things kind of toxic, which is a weirdly extreme view, I admit, so I'm kinda rooting for these types of videos to get pushed out of the results.

I am afraid it is more complicated than that.

For example, before we decide that the last 5 years are a good average we should look at what the trend of the last 5 years looked like. If for example there was an upwards trend (which it was for many countries around the world) then even without COVID you'd expect that 2020 would have continued on that trend for whatever reason it was going that way. In that case it would be fairly unexciting to say that 2020 was above the 5 year average in the context of COVID.

In my opinion the fairest comparison would be to check if 2020 continued the trend of the last 5 years, or if it had a non linear jump upwards from that trend, but looking at figures such as "above average" doesn't mean anything if every year in the last 5 years was "above average" because it started to trend upwards again.
Right now there is no specific distinction between what we want to run in Cloud vs On Prem. Important thing to note here is we use Cloud as an IaaS only. We have our own stack which sort of prepares the hosts before it is ingested into clusters as usable capacity.

We actually recommend not using custom cloud providers Databases or any other value added services.

Why not completely either way (on prem vs cloud) is something that happened way before I joined the group but I think the main reason is to have a tactical edge in the long run such that we avoid lock in. I guess in some ways it helps us negotiate pricing better.

Imagine moving a certain workload from GCP region to an AWS region as part of a failover drill.

Will this also affect your youtube embeds into your Website?
TV ads were built into TV shows as well, and were very jarring:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCLFut6pAa8

The ads are everywhere and in everything, and it has basically stopped me from being able to enjoy much of media. But consuming media is a poor use of my time anyway, so it seems like a benefit for me.
> If a user doesn't want to update, they shouldn't have to, as it's their computer.

And then they plug that computer into a global multi-user network and their machine is botnetted and used to harm other users. In that context, people are no longer making simple decisions and accepting the consequences; a tragedy of the commons is instead created.

Your thinking works when computers are isolated from each other. When they're not, it's in the same category as "states require annual vehicle inspections." Because when you're sharing the road with other drivers, you owe it to them that your vehicle is unlikely to undergo catastrophic rapid disassembly.
Open Source and Money: Part I
It's not really a problem when the model is to focus on making a great experience for paying users and just dumping ads on free users.

The revenue generation focus and incentive alignment is with paying users not advertisers. If the ads don't make as much money or have a more limited audience that's fine.

Obviously the entirety of Google is structured so this isn't the case, but in products I like better than Google products (Substack, Spotify, Apple) the focus is on paying customers. Ads, if they exist at all, are only on freemium versions of the product.
(Turbo/Borland) Pascal was comparable to C in terms of closeness to hardware on DOS - I mean, it even had language facilities specifically for interrupt handlers! A lot of DOS software was written in that. In some countries, it was the case for most DOS software made in them.

So I'd amend this to: C won because it was the only cross-platform low level language that was competently implemented for DOS.

How enforceable is this? And what's the likelihood anyone would try to enforce it?
On the other hand, it makes it harder to filter out bad content.

When i search for a video on some language/system architecture, it's often difficult to find the official team videos. One good thing to do is to start playing one video after another form the search results. Usually the very first one without a pre-roll Advertisement, is the one you want.

If you go into subscription settings on iOS devices, they show a "try out apple music" ad -- you think this position is available to Spotify/others? They don't pay 30% on top of sales to boot.

Same thing with Google, they cross promote their own new properties everywhere in Gmail (left pane) and Google.com but no one else has access to those locations, they can destroy thousands of small business through this practice.
Linux only support is a bit of a letdown for me. My clients insist on using Windows, so I'm left without choice there, it's nvidia or nvidia.
Right. It means when you invest in random ass companies and you get scammed, you can afford to lose the money. Someone with less money getting scammed with visions of dollar signs in their eyes isn't playing a bourgeois parlor game, they're playing with their housing, job, car, etc.

To me, the previous SEC rule is just an acknowledgment of the real aristocratic underpinnings of an advanced capitalist economy.

Umm...doesn't show a statistically significant difference between recommending mask wearing or not.

Ironically, when that study was posted here (yesterday?) people were saying in the comments the 'anti-maskers' would jump on it to 'prove' mask wearing wasn't effective.

Another useless advice like "eat healthy" or "just be yourself". It is the kind of stuff we all know intuitively that it is good but the hard part is changing your state of mind to actually perform it.

By that reasoning: it's their search engine, their crawlers, their business to route people to the websites likeliest to be useful to those users.

In that sense, their approach is in some way more equitable than Microsoft's: they're not forcing change upon your system by way of mandatory updates, they're simply saying that if you don't play the same game they play, they're unwilling to do business with you.

If you're free to maintain your server to your standards, why should they not be free to maintain their search service to their standards?

I almost look forward to the day when it all blows up in the face of those who thought that all of these, in reality economical driven half-baked solutions - disguised as privacy or security, end up causing such a break down, that nothing works any longer.

The amount of sheer stupidity that goes into the "modern web" is just mind bugling.

DoH does absolutely nothing that helps privacy since the destination IP address is always clear and DoH only obscures that which it never should have touched with in the first place.

I have just about had it with the IT industry and the modern web!
Remember that this whole mess started (or at least got a lot worse) because the Chinese travelled a lot for the Lunar New Year. Back then there was a lot of people blaming everything on the Chinese for not staying where they were and spreading the virus.

Looking at the data here in LA county, we haven't seen a change in deaths for a while now (looks like ~10day). I do see some big lines of people getting tested here in my area. I spoke to some of them in line, and they were getting tested because their employers were making them do so. I have a feeling that here in California, we are testing a lot of the population compared to other states/nations.
Well, now you're being deliberately obtuse, didn't bother to read the link, or perhaps both. The link I posted above compared the symptomology of COVID-related brain damage to moderate TBI. As the American Association of Neurological Surgeons says at https://www.aans.org/Patients/Neurosurgical-Conditions-and-T... :

> Patients with moderate head injuries fare less well. Approximately 60 percent will make a positive recovery and an estimated 25 percent left with a moderate degree of disability. Death or a persistent vegetative state will be the outcome in about 7 to 10 percent of cases. The remainder of patients will have a severe degree of disability.
Memory cross addressability/accessibility works with dGPUs too (but there of course accessing memory behind PCIe is slower). IOMMUs are involved. But software/driver stack has been slow to take advantage of iGPU unified memory, operating systems are partly to blame too.
Well it useless...
ok. done.
The arbitrary choice of the reference point makes that bad data.
It would depend on precisely what you're measuring. If you're concerned about page loading speeds, then resources that don't block rendering or functionality (like, I assume, a proper GA integration) might not be worth considering. But if you're worried about, say, bandwidth usage, then of course you'd want to count everything.
This article talks about Wirth's Pascal as originally defined. But various language dialects evolved way beyond that, and some of them became effectively dominant.

I think it's very hard to see people dying and suffereing (often) alone. But I'm not sure what the solution to that is...do we open the Covid units up to visitors and ignore the consequence to spread from doing that?

Unfortunately, the politicization has turned this issue into a binary decision with bad outcomes on both ends. I think there is a place for people to engage in a more "normal" life even in the context of the pandemic...but it's hard to define that space in 2020.

Also, in my view, the covidiots aren't the people that wish they could be with their sick or dying relatives/friends. Those are the people that absolutely refuse (as a matter of principle) to do the bare minimum to help contain this...or worse, the people who pack clubs, parties, etc fantasizing that his pandemic doesn't really exist.
Oxford Study Confirms Astra Covid Shot’s Response in Elderly
This seems to be a common sentiment among developers today but honestly bloat doesn't bother me too much. I do want good performance from my websites, but with fast internet connections, who cares if it is 1KB or 1MB?

Also, if you can develop a website for half the cost with twice the size, isn't that the right thing to do? Developer time is the expensive resource, and bandwidth is cheap.

At the lower end of asset value range families often end up with a "family office" because the previous generation ran a family business which was passed down and now it's jointly owned by a number of family members. The option is to sell the family business and distribute the cash or start a "family office" and run it and it's assets together in a pool.

For both sentimental and other reasons the family business is not sold (i.e. may have never had audited financials since it had a single owner and no outside investors so it would be near impossible to sell it for a price the family believes is fair).

These type of "family offices" don't have any full-time investment management staff. They work with the same type of advisors an individual who had $5M of investment assets would.
> unless your complaints interfere with [their bottom line], then they have zero reason to care about your opinion

Again, how are the incentives any different whether or not the business is funded by advertising?

Just like how Google knows that a user with a complaint isn't necessarily going to stop using their services and looking at their ads, Apple (for example) knows that a user with a complaint isn't necessarily going to stop buying iPhones.

In that sense I don't see why a "customer" who is paying in ad impressions is any less of a "customer" than one who is paying in cash.
People in the US complain that the pandemic is mismanaged and that too many people are dying.

They went from near nothing to full capacity in a little over a month. I read the articles as it was happening. I watched it happen in March but I genuinely had this belief that the US bureaucracy were competent (even if the elected government wasn't). I was so confident they were competent, I didn't even short the market. That was rapidly torn apart and I think it was worth the cost I paid to learn that lesson. I posted a timeline here on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22776614

I am going to copy it for you to show you how the A-players do it:

New Year's Eve: Rumours of viral pneumonia in Wuhan. All inbound flights from Wuhan subject to inspection

Jan 5: All Wuhan travelers exhibiting upper respiratory inspections are now subject to screening

Jan 31: Taiwanese government forced monopsony on masks (1/3 reserved for healthcare personnel). Announces rationing first week of Feb

Feb 2: Taiwanese defence personnel dispatched to bolster staffing at mask factories

Feb 6: Mask rationing starts

Feb 15: Mask production by end of month projected to be 10 million / day. Taiwanese population: 24 million

Mar 9: Mask production 9.2 million / day

Mar 16: Production 10 million / day

Mar 22: Production 12.6 million / day

April 3. Taiwan: Population 24 million. Density: 649 people/sq.km. First case: Jan 20. Cases: 348. Deaths: 5

April 3. Florida: Population 21.5 million. 136.5 people/sq.km. First case: Mar 7. Cases: 10268. Deaths: 170

Did we have to make the choice between the economy and lives? Did we have to choose between grandma and the dollar? Could policy have changed the outcome?

You decide.
If the site had ongoing problems with CP, I really can't imagine that the Internet Archive would be willing to host its content either.
I don't know about the latest Intel integrated GPUs, but for the original ones it was not a unified memory arrangement. Rather the integrated GPU used a dedicated chunk of main memory. It was the same banks of memory, but was treated as separate. If you wanted a texture to appear on-screen, then it had to be moved from the normal pool of memory to the one reserved for the GPU.

This reserved pool of memory was even hard-set at boot time, and usually the size of it was determined based on the amount of total memory (for example at one point MacBooks with 4GiB of memory allocated 1GiB for memory, ones with 8GiB allocated 2GiB).

What it sounds like Apple has done here is heavily blur those lines. One example would be to load a texture into a memory location, make a change with the CPU, then let the GPU do some modifications, check something with the CPU, then apply it to some shape and display it. On current systems that would mean multiple copy operations of that texture back and forth between segments of memory (across the PCI bus on a dedicated card). Here that might all be done with no copies at all (just handoffs).

Kind of hijacking this conversation, but is there a service-mesh-like tool that allows reverse TCP tunneling via a central gateway server, kind of like services like ngrok / localtunnel just with all the bells and whistles of a modern service mesh? My use-case is that I want to be able to deploy a HTTP service across a heterogeneous set of distributed host, many of which don't allow any incoming connections / are behind NAT, and I am looking for a good solution to have these boxes connect out to a central gateway server which doesn't involve OpenVPN or SSH reverse tunnels.
They base their math on SHA256, which is not a hash function anyone should be using for password hashing, being cracked by bitcoin ASICs, which are completely irrelevant to hash cracking because they are incapable of doing the required math in their current form. They are ASICs, they do 1 thing and 1 thing only, and it's not crack passwords hashed with SHA256 sadly.

This fundamental problem with their argument either shows a serious lack of understanding regarding the subject of password hashing/cracking or it's simply being done because they don't expect their readers to understand it. Given the product they are pushing, I'm uncomfortable with both scenarios.

Passwords should be hashed with Bcrypt or Argon2, maybe Scrypt or PBKDF2 in some special cases.

Agreed. A couple of expansions:

- Tech is seen as the easiest way to the middle class in many emerging economies, notably India and China. Tech orientated third level institutions are an industry of their own in India due to the sheer level of demand for it.

- Skilled immigration is one of the most favoured tools of most globalist western governments in their fight to destroy the middle class.

- Remote work will continue to grow, the pains associated with async work and time differences will be mitigated against, hence a (more) global labour pool for the same jobs. Why pay an American dev $100k plus benefits when I can readily pay a Chilean dev $20k with fewer, if any, benefits.

Tech companies have been clamouring for the above for at least a decade now and we're really starting to see strides being made in it.

I should note that the 10 years I mentioned above was an optimistic estimate.
