About how much does a CCD like that cost?
Well, potentially it can if you aren't following the regulations, and it is classified as recruiting. For instance, if your job board recommends sends recommendations to individuals to apply to a certain job based on their profile, even if this is automated, it is potentially going to be considered as recruiting, thus requiring a license. For this reason, some of the major Japanese recruiting platforms, such as Wantedly, which offers a LinkedIn like social network around job hunting, has obtained a recruitment license, though they aren't doing what we would traditionally think of as recruitment.
Question as long as we're on the subject... software companies can decompile competitor's software and figure out how they did something. Can Qualcomm or another chip maker "decompile" the M1 and figure out how Apple made it? Apple seems so far ahead of the other ARM chipmakers, can the other guys catch up by studying the M1 chip? Or is it too small/involved/etc to learn much from?

A very important thing with software is that the most painful work can be done by the computer itself.

Tools like Lisp are essential in your toolbox for whatever language you use for coding. If you can script and automate and test everything life is much better.

Most of the pain in software development is self inflicted. The most boring something is for a human, the easiest is for the computer to make it.

Lots of people coming from the "code must be efficient" front, like assembly, c and c++ programmers simply ignored the interpreted, functional and painfully slow "you don't know how things are implemented" world and viceversa.

But both worlds are complimentary.

When I was a kid I discovered Numega SoftIce. That was an incredible debugger and you could automate everything.

Turns out you can do the same with gdm and lldb today and bugs just pop up from automatic tests.
I don't really know what the engineering challenges would look like, but retractable rail for highways and tires for the city might be a solution.

Forget Facebook, I won’t defend it.

But I don’t see how google removes revenue from news agencies. They are free to put up pay walls and get deindexed. Or do the hybrid paywall thing that nyt and wsj does where they show up in the searches but people have to login/pay.

The problem is newspapers haven’t figured out how to make people pay online. This isn’t a google problem. It might be a Facebook opportunity/problem though.

From my perspective as a news consumer, the modern newspapers online are too expensive by far. I have a wsj article I want to read. But I’d have to buy a (no doubt hard to cancel) subscription to view it. Ditto the economist - they’re the worst I had a sub and I didn’t want to call them and deal with their hard sell desubscribe, so I had my credit card block them.

If this was the real world, and I saw that interesting wsj article, I’d fork over my $0.25 or $0.50 or whatever for the issue and walk away with it. Rather than entering a lifetime data relationship with some entity that wants to exploit me for more money.

That’s why people don’t pay for news: you can’t on a casual basis.

Legislative force in Australia is driving this change. The government is at odds with public broadcasters. Initially they excluded them from receiving revenue from linkage. They backtracked, but I fear for the consequence: I believe they will use this to introduce cost saving de-funding of public broadcasting.

Its "be careful what you wish for" stuff.

Also, we have a fight with a union-pension-fund backed news outlet being possibly responsible for (same government) legislative changes to prevent pension funds from investing in news (one word change to require their spend to be for members financial benefit, not just "members benefit" which permitted this investment)

Also Also we have huge dominance of print media and non-public news outlet by "News Ltd" which is Rupert Murdoch which is a cancer on the world of disinterested, bipartisan news (the leader writers and editorial panel of News in Australia are futher to the right than the Koch brothers, and have gone feral on anything even vaguely to the left of Reaganite views of pollution, green energy, public sector finance...) -The pay for links thing, is designed to get money to News Ltd which has suffered massive declines in revenue.

News hoovered up all the small independent newspapers in Australia. Its a public disgrace, of equal dimensions to the predation of news by Google and the Facebooks of the globe.

Well I'm not very effective at convincing people because I'm not getting paid to do PR here (well actually I do get paid as a developer advocate to convince people to use AWS... but that's a totally different subject).

But I agree with you, my original comment was not helpful because it got muddied by the broader topic of anti intellectualism, which I have been thinking about a lot recently.

I do think there is a serious societal problem, leading to an almost religious fervor against some modern applications of science. I think that GMO's are one target of it, right alongside vaccines and masks, to the detriment of society. That might be an industry PR talking point, but I don't think that makes it any less true.

I think another aspect of my original comment that upset people is that I expressed anti-religious sentiment in it. I know there are plenty of religious folks in tech, and no doubt many were offended by that. Personally I feel that there are two forces at work here: one is religious leaders de-educating people and the other is higher education failing to educate people well enough because colleges and universities are trying to milk money from folks.

The end result is a society where anti-intellectualism is on the rise: people don't have access to the education to understand masks, vaccines, or GMO's but they do have access to plenty of religious indoctrination that tells them that they'll be alright as long as they do things "the old fashioned / traditional way".

This manifests in so many ways, from benign things like the "Paleolithic diet" based on the idea that it is healthy to eat a diet like that of ancient humans, to harmful stuff like anti-vaxxers. I think it is all stemming from a fear of the future, which makes people want to go back to how things were done in the past.

But it is too late to go back to how things were done in the past. I see us on a tipping point that could go either way: a backslide into conservatism and decline, or a leap forward into higher tech that can help us survive looming climate change. Personally I hope it's the latter.
I don't think that replacing one centralized rentseeking publisher with a different one is an improvement.

Facebook and Google provide more of a benefit to individual news organizations than vice versa. If everyone uses FB / Google already, you’re not doing them a favor by posting your content to those platforms, they’re doing you a favor by allowing more eyes to see the content. Of course in aggregate if all news publishers stopped publishing content then maybe less people would use FB / Google, which could harm them.

I don't get the argument that Facebook and Google are exploiting the news industry. Wouldn't people go to the site afterward? They are only reading the headline on Facebook or maybe a small summarized snippet on Google.

Does the author of this piece believe that Hacker News is exploiting her? Evidently not, as she posted it here. Like news organizations tend to do on Facebook or use AMP on Google.
Linux has never worked well on Apple hardware. At one of my previous jobs I had the choice between a very high end "MacBook Pro" (1TB SSD, 16GiB RAM, etc) and a lower-end PC.

Since my job was developing a Linux distribution from scratch, I was going to be running Linux on whatever I got. I (naively) assumed that since I saw a lot of MacBook Pro's at open source conferences and other places where open source software is written, and the MacBook Pro was x86-based that Linux would just work -- but it was a disaster.

What I keep hearing these firms are brought in for purely political reasons,

when management wants something done but has to offload the responsibility to some external brand,

so in case things go south they can shift the blame. Seems to work in this case.
I define Data as “Raw External Universe Matter/Energy/Forces”. Think Photons you see or Electromagnetic Waves of a speeding train you hear.

Our Senses (Skin, Tongue, Ears, Eyes, Nose) are “Interpreters” which Process the External data and then convert them to Symbols (“Information”).
Towards the end of the post we find out why they want to block news links from Facebook and Google, they are setting up a competing platform.

“That’s why we’re building Forth, a news-first platform that pays journalists for their work and offers the audience concise updates with context -- from the reporters they trust. All revenue generated on Forth is shared with our news partners.

We only allow trusted and credible journalists (vetted by our editorial team) to publish to the platform. It's a one-stop shop for accurate information about what's happening right now.”
GPG and simple aren't something I can say goes well together.

I prefer to use the KeePass 2.x format. Tailored toward storing sensitive data, flexible enough to fit most use-case, and user-friendly enough to be used by an average user.
The best way to do this trick was with a Gameshark/Action Replay disc. After the Gameshark booted it would let the drive spin down until you told it to launch the game. You still had to jam the switch since the PSX reauthenticated the disc when you closed the lid, but you didn't have to worry about damaging the drive or swapping discs at just the right time.
Most ZFS howto's now recommend against dedup on the prolongued memory cost consequences. Yes, you would get some block level compression outcome. But, you enter the cost/benefit hell of balancing CPU and memory at runtime.
> We only allow trusted and credible journalists (vetted by our editorial team) to publish to the platform.

"Vetted by our editorial team" sounds insanely slow, which will be an excuse when biased Forth staff don't want to approve writers they don't personally like.
I do not think there is anything very philosophical here, just the point that the claim in the post I was replying to was demonstrably false.

I am intrigued by the idea of the coin having a "true nature" that we have no way to experience; I would like to know what this elusive "true nature" is, but if we cannot experience it, I don't suppose you can tell me. Instead, I will settle for an explanation of how you know it has such a true nature.
This is such a hilariously stupid take.

If news companies don't want Facebook and Google to use their content then all they need to do is add a * Disallow to their robots.txt file.

But of course the truth is that they entirely depend on them for traffic.
I've signed up, because what you've said here sounds interesting - but good lord that website is hideous.

I would _never_ give a site like that my email. Consider at least showing your product/research/something that's not a stock image of... a Lion? A sunset? Waves on the beach?
I have found when I’m looking at the top static site generators they always lack a good programmatic API in one way or another. Either you can’t change defaults if needed, or hook into the build itself in some meaningful way, or it’s a shell they requires deep customization in areas you may not be prepared to take on.

Doesn’t mean Hugo, 11eventy, Jekyll etc aren’t good it’s just an area that could still have mass improvement I think
This won’t work. It’s fantastically easy for a low-quality site to summarise paywalled news articles (and it happens already).

Unfortunately newspapers made a massive mistake giving their news away for free in the early 00s. That set a precedent that has been impossible to reverse for all but a few large well-funded papers.

Local journalism has practically evaporated. It wasn’t really because Facebook stole the news. It was because Facebook stole their ad revenue, and the classified pages (a major revenue source for local journalism) have been swallowed by Craigslist and others.

Edit: the decade
Yeah, the 100% remote control idea seems unlikely, just provides cover for Iranian leadership when they fail to find the assassins.

This is a more thorough and believable report: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8997575/Assassinati...

(However, that site is a nightmare of ads, popups and auto-playing video, only legible with uMatrix.)
If this setup is actually true, then that remote controlled Nissan could also have served as a VBIED: Unload from the gun until it's empty, then drive the thing into the target zone and explode it to take out whatever survived the gunfire.

Tho if the source is to be trusted that's not how it happened: It exploded 150 m away in the same position it fired from.

So the explosion probably only served to destroy any evidence of the implementation for the remote control.

Also interesting: Earlier reports about this attack did mention suicide/car bomb being part of the attack, but allegedly only as a distraction.
> youtube-dl sort of situations and RIAA would have barely made a splash

Yeah. The premise of this article is just silly when the vast majority of news reports are covered by many many websites all vying for more traffic to their web properties.
One of the strangest, open questions about ayahuasca, is how indigenous people in the Amazon managed to figure out the formulation needed to orally activate the DMT with MAOI, given the ~50,000 or more species of plants in that region.
That's because of the way you personally perceive it, while I'm looking at the holistic scenario under which they're living.

The economy is fucked. Its working because its artificially propped up by the Fed and the European Central Bank, to a lesser degree. People know this because the stock market continues to perform well, but individuals are mostly static. Social mobility in the United States is at all-time low and this is well-reported.

Student loan debt has ballooned 2000% over the past 50 years.

Housing prices, be it to buy or rent, have ballooned by 200% in the past 50 years.

Climate change is a serious concern, and absolutely no one can say with any degree of scientific certainty what the long-term (100-300 year range) effects will be.

Now I told you all that... to tell you this.

They're being robbed of hope. People can endure through hardships unimaginable... as long as they have hope. When you take away someone's hope, you take away their life.

Is there any news organization that has deliberately removed themselves from Google that you (or anyone else) know of? As you can de-index your site if this is a problem for you. I am just not aware of any organization that has done it.
Exactly. I have not done a formal study, but my guess would be that the majority of profit made by the "news" comes from rumormonging and trolling (with a few exceptions like the data-heavy WSJ). Now Facebook and the like are keeping that money instead.

I think we should #AbolishImaginaryProperyLaws and not reward the creation of non-sense by any of these actors.
The obvious result of this will be that news is less accessible and "news" is more accessible. Am I missing something?
Thanks, that's enlightening. I am definitely not a statistician, as you've no doubt guessed!

>I think what you may be misunderstanding, and therefore misrepresenting, is the idea that a combination of statistically sampled tests (ONS) plus biased targeted tests (NHS, key workers, Test & Trace etc) results in "skewed" or more misleading R estimates than just the statistically sampled tests (ONS) by themselves.

Not quite, and I apologise if I've communicated poorly. Totally agree that multiple sampling methods lead to more convincing results. I avoid optimising until I've profiled with both a sampling AND an instrumenting profiler, for example.

What I was trying (failing!) to get across is that I think that if the distribution of 'generally available' tests is sufficiently non-representative, then the statistically sampled test model potentially couldn't correct for it enough for the derived estimate to be reliable.

Obviously the responsible subgroup at SAGE will have tried to weight accordingly, and the people running the individual studies will as you say, be much more skilled at accounting for potential bias than I am. I'm absolutely not saying that I've stumbled on some insight that they missed!

Here's where I struggle - the pool of generally available tests at the time fall into two relatively narrow groups: patients exhibiting symptoms bad enough to require hospitalisation, and people at high risk of transmission. The random longitudinal studies don't have that problem of course and should be used to correct for the bias. I realise there are methods for quantifying bias and uncertainty, but isn't this more at risk of inaccuracy than simply having a higher N? N matters, surely? The higher confidence we have that any one set of data is representative, the higher confidence we can have in the final derived estimate.

I just can't see any angle from which having tested more people we wouldn't have improved our ability to estimate R.
This. The claim Google/Facebook are stealing from the news industry is neither here nor there, they want those stories to appear on social media/search results; if they didn't, they could just paywall their entire websites.

They are just trying to cry loud enough that the government will intervene, pretty much like their colleagues here in the EU.
> You mean the folks who think a black person is worth 3/5th of a white person?

No, an originalist doesn't treat the unamended text as sacred, they (in principal) treat the original meaning (textualist) or intent (intentionalist) of the current, amended text as controlling.

Also, you don't understand the 3/5 compromised which has nothing to do with the worth of a black person. It had to do with how much voting power free Whites should get on account of having enslaved Blacks; the free states mostly thought the answer ought to be zero, the slave states thought it ought to be equal to one free citizen per slave held, and the 3/5 compromised was the compromise to keep the two sides in one system.

Saying that it represents a Black person being worth 3/5 of a White person makes it sound like you think that it would be more just of they had taken the position the slavers proposed, since that, apparently, would make Blacks of equal value to Whites.
You do know there is a version of Windows for ARM64 already, right? It was largely hampered by the speed of the available CPUs, but it does exist.

What I’m really curious about is how the ISA for the M1 is different from the CPUs Windows for ARM already supports. And as others have mentioned — I think GPU support will be more difficult, but I don’t have any data to support that.

But, it’s not like alternative (and mainstream) OSs don’t exist for ARM64. Maybe with some faster ARM64 CPUs, this could be the push to really make ARM a viable architecture for more than just Macs.
I know Daniel, his work is not a ponzi scheme. Because you asked this question in good faith, I'll give you a summary in good faith:

1. The book you linked is just technical content. It teaches you how to use AWS, not how to sell books about using AWS.

2. Unlike the tongue-in-cheek examples of the original post based on minimal success, this book is written based on years of professional experience as a developer building AWS.

3. His content pops up pretty often because people like it.

Of course, if the book was part of a ponzi scheme, then part of that scheme would be having people like me defend it on HN :)
