The issue is that being a communist isn't - and shouldn't be - a crime.

Collaborating with a hostile foreign power is - and should be - a crime.

McCarthy made no distinction between these two ends of the spectrum. Collaboration requires intent, which McCarthy often failed to provide evidence of. In those failures, he discredited himself and his enterprise.
I work in entertainment. I’ll probably switch to advertising simply because there would be a lot of transferable skills, there’s a big ad market in Colorado, and that seems like a nice place to live.
I don’t think it’s that simple. This design is so good because Apple designed a system, and didn’t throw together a few parts they could buy.

They should revisit all choices they made earlier. Users might want more generic ML hardware, so that they can develop the algorithms that can get burned into specific hardware on some future consumer-level hardware, a GPU that can ray trace better, more memory than you can fit on a SoC, etc.

That last issue is particularly problematic. They might have to give up the idea of having (only) unified memory.

If so, the entire design could change. In some cases, that could mean task-specific hardware isn’t (much) faster anymore than doing it in the CPU, in which case discarding it to make room for extra cores, cache, etc. might be the better choice.
You should research what Microsoft and Google send home then. You'll swear off computing entirely.

The problem with Apple verifying app signatures online each run is their implementation was crap and made Mac OS slow down to a crawl when they had problems. Incompetence not malice :)
How very inconvenient that the evil party in this case has a name that does not place him within the primary WASP target group.

I will take issue with core-questions on one point, however. The use of pseudonyms has a long and glorious history in America, and in the present moment it serves to protect right-thinking persons more than it does advocates of Critical ideologies.
Cotton underwear doesn't work that well if your activity varies. Wear enough cotton to be warm while sitting for hours, and you're certain to be sweaty after five minutes of physical activity. And moist cotton underwear makes you cold.

I tend to wear wool long johns from December to March. Decades of experience with cotton, too. Wool is much, much better.

The author presents an extremely incomplete picture of modern SEO. As an SEO professional for the last decade, I think we can do better in a discussion of the shortcomings of SEO.

The whole article presents SEOs in a similar way to how people talk about 'used car salesmen'; we all know the clichés about used car salesmen, but the reality for any professional selling used car is vastly different. Presenting SEOs as 'the world’s most scruple-free douchebags' is fairly insulting and not productive.

His article discusses _some_ SEO tactics used by _some_ SEO practitioners. For the subset he presents, then I certainly agree there are a lot of issues, but he presents it as the complete picture.

# Modern SEO

Modern SEO is made up of many facets, one part of which is content, but which also includes technical considerations around crawling and indexing of content, as well as advocating for site speed optimisations, and improving user experience and signals.

A reputable SEO practitioner should be asking 'does this deserve to rank?', and should be advocating improvements that have longevity (i.e. will be helping next year, not just next week). I spent 9 years in an SEO agency, where these were central and core to our whole approach.

# Blackhat SEO

Yes, there is a lot of manipulative and shady stuff going down. That is not just content focused, as the author discusses, but there is also a lot of link buying and selling, which is design to manipulate the link graph with the aim of gaming PageRank essentially.

There is no denying that this stuff happens, but it is once again the same as the used car salesman analogy -- the majority of modern SEOs are professionals, and they don't deserve to be tarred with the same brush.

The line is, I accept, not as clear cut with SEO and there are people who practice manipulative tactics who operate in a grey area, and present themselves as the 'proper' solution.

# Google

Obviously, people practicing manipulative SEO are to blame for their own actions, and for making the situation worse. However, another aspect is Google's monopoly. I don't see how Google could have done a lot better at preventing some of the shady SEO practices that go down - they actively try.

However, their _monopoly_ is problematic as it means that there is only one black box to optimise against, and no real SEO consideration needs to be paid to other search engines.

It will be interesting to see what happens if Apple enter the fray, and what the knock on effects are.

That's pretty much the MO of a lot of SV companies. I remember when Uber came to my city and there were news articles about police officers ordering a ride and ticketing the driver afterwards because unlicensed taxis were against the law. The city claims Uber never petitioned them to change the law, Uber just knowingly broke the law and paid the fines on behalf of their drivers until the city changed the law. Airbnb has done similar things in the past in cities where subleasing and short-term rentals are regulated, but they skipped the regulation and just broke the law until the law changed.

Youtube does the same, Facebook does the same. Laws and regulations are seen as things to disrupt rather than rules to follow or petition for changing. And if you have a billion dollars of VC money in your pocket, who cares about a $100 ticket?
> I wonder if the solution is a human curated Index.

Yes, for people who are willing to pay a lot that’s the solution. There’s a reason that professionals in law, etc., pay for and use reference tools that combine search features with human curation/annotation.

But quality human curation/annotation doesn’t scale cheaply to a growing corpus or number of axes of annotation, its at least linear (possibly superlinear, because of supply constraints on quality labor) cost in each.

This seems to be a recurring problem with silicon valley. Bay Area people are so arrogant, they think they can always do it better. Do to inefficiencies in the industry, it just looks from the outside like everyone is worthless, and they just need smart tech people to come and fix it. Then it turns out there were reasons for some of those things.
The RAM is not on the same chip. It's regular LPDDR4X chips on the same package (connected by regular-ass PCB traces, not even a silicon interposer like HBM would've been). It's clocked pretty high, but you can go even faster on DDR4 desktops.
> An interesting aspect of a "Green New Deal" would be to subsidize electrifying the HVAC & insulating our older buildings.

This is the great part of the Green New Deal that was shouted down when much of the political establishment mocked it - it would put scores of people to work in jobs in the trades.
>I don't know about the long-term effects but I am pretty certain that reinfections are very rare.

There are 4 endemic coronavirus strains that circulate through out the community. Immunity to those is hypothesized to be a 1 year time frame. Covid19 is probably going to be similar. The game changer is the vaccine which may cause a more durable and longer term immune response.

Mechanistically reinfection is possible even with a vaccine but you may be asymptomatic or the disease course may be innocuous and the infectious period reduced. This is what reduces the Ro value below 1.
Worse, it comes from advertising!
I don’t understand the 4 ports issue. If you have that many things to plug in at your desk, don’t you keep them plugged into a dock that has power delivery, and just connect one wire when you sit down?
Seconded. I've lived in high-rises in NYC and cute houses in the bay area. Despite it staying much warmer outside in the bay area, my house (and others', apparently) is so poorly insulated that I feel much colder indoors in the winter in the bay area compared to in NYC.

The only issue with F1 in iracing is that its almost too realistic. unless you spend hours tweaking the setup and really know what you are doing, the car will be difficult to drive and significantly slower than anyone else in the F1 leagues, who have spend that time fine tuning their setups.

This neither lines up with reality (as in there are defined boundaries as devices are made by people on different teams each operating on their own abstractions) or with the reality we want to see.

Part of the trade-off that large companies accept in being allowed to become mega-players in a space is that to make up for the lack of individual power, the government may step in and make the world better for individuals at the expense of the larger companies by, for instance, mandating freedoms: freedom to repair (especially in the case of cars), freedom to re-sell (that's the first-sale doctrine in case you're curious), and so on.

We're talking about individual freedoms.

New Covid variant may be behind fast spread of cases in south of England
The ponzi scheme was not a scheme to defraud investors it was a scheme to profit from mail regulations that ultimately defrauded investors since there were few consumers of the actual postage stamps. As such the fuller name of what seems to offend you is an intentional ponzi scheme-like fraud. The important modifier would be like, as in simile. Binary tree does not use simile so it is apparently more strongly a tree than something tree-like.

The ponzi scheme was very similar to offering unlimited plans despite most users having very little interest in storing much or having the constant but moderate usage pattern that would need to accompany that for it to run on ads. AFA schemes both are marketing gimmicks misrepresenting the market to sell an unlikely profit system as viable, and when it collapses the people sold the system's superiority to reasonable offers end up upset. Both of these gimmicks can be done intentionally or accidentally as described in the wiki entry.

Unlimited plans are in fact very similar to THE ponzi scheme, more so than an intentional ponzi-scheme-like fraud. Many even argue that the ponzi scheme is not a good representative of ponzi scheme frauds, rather many are based on fraudsters understanding the original ponzi scheme (ponzi himself probably did not initially understand he was getting into fraud of investors until the scheme already had investors.)

At any rate, you seem to understand that there's a lot of room for discussion on how unlimited media is like the ponzi scheme itself or a ponzi scheme fraud. Semantic arguments over who is defrauded and who expects what are pretty pointless as in modern finance the users and investors are all in the mix that is the public and is being uniformly addressed by the company whether in casual media or SEC filings.

I find your viewpoint rather confusing and I'm not sure I see it at all. The browser primarily exists to traverse hyperlinked documents on the internet, which we call the "web". Though we've built plenty of "apps" now on top of hyperlinked documents, for the most part that remains arguably a secondary or tertiary reason for the browser to exist, and even if you could argue that secondary usage has rose to prominence to eclipse the primary reason for the existence of the browser, the use of the web for "apps" certainly has a lot less to do with Windows package management specifically and instead the convenience of simple, standardized client-server communications and development patterns that arise from that original primary usage goal of hyperlinked documents in a web of servers.

Web "apps" seem to only increase cross-platform interests, rather than serve to "smooth deficiencies" in a single platform.

> you can see why more competition among OSes would result in the browser being LESS important, not more!

We've seen exactly the opposite in practice: a ton of web "app" innovation occurred when there were a variety mobile "smartphone" OSes with reasonably modern browsers whereas development has shifted much further back to OS-specific apps as mobile devices have calcified into the iOS/Android duopoly.
This bit from the article might bring things into focus:

> "I add the following comment as of Dec 14: we care how fast our dev computer runs. the multi-core advantage of 3900X is useless for most of the benchmarks here that don't represent the real-world production performance at all but devs usually work on their laptops, desktops, etc most of the time so I think such real-world development performance benchmarks make it worthwhile though. of course, Ryzen 3900X will perform way better than M1 and Intel when it comes to production, mostly achieved by parallelizing."
Would you also be able to run some of these?

The way we make our money makes all the difference for our cultures and general way of life, it seems that we have chosen poorly and we have little recourse. In a world of add-salesmen inoffensiveness becomes the chief value. This value scheme has become central to the modern left and right poles of politics, but instead of affirming or negating it, we should just regulate its conditions out of existence. If we don't achieve this (and we won't), what comes next is an even more aggressive affirmation of inoffensiveness, which will give to an open affirmation of censorship in the name of preventing "harm" and "exclusion" aided by technology. When censorship was historically affirmed, it was to remove the 'wrong' opinion, but what was right was very clearly presented, however, because now the primary value is negatively determined there is no way it can be totalized and presented as something known. This indetermination of negativity, coupled with a new power of technology that can exert control in a much more detailed way, accompanied by a general trend of digitalization of all human activity will make censorship ubiquitous and insidious.
Epistemology is hard. Listen to the best evidence you can, make your own judgements, and realize you won’t be 100% correct in all things. That’s really the best any of us can do.
The reason I have a reddit account in the first place is /r/rust.

Not sure why we didn't hear them--maybe just tuned them out at some point because it was already so loud on base. What I do remember is seeing lots of C-5s landing at night. I used to ride my bike home via Einsiedlerhof, and the road goes right under the flight path. It was like seeing a lit-up piece of the sky break off and and return to earth.
I pretty much do work that needs more then 16GB of memory all day every day (and can take advantage of CPU cores up to 12 to 16 range). But yeah very dependent on your environment/workflow.

Especially if you are just doing lightweight web dev 16GB is more then enough (could probably get away with 8GB or less)

migraines periodically give me Extreme heightened senses.

For sense of smell. It’s truly amazing how much “detail” there is in every day scents. Can smell food and describe accurately the spices used. Also I can detect the tiniest amounts used from 20 feet away. Shocking people that are using it and don’t even smell it.

My personal favorite is a woody car smell Hanger in the car caused me to instantly be jealous. Not of anyone specific, but there is an intense primal feeling of someone after what’s mine.

Without migraine I don’t notice any of it.
> Maybe go a step further and wear long underwear and maybe even a hat; why not?

Some reasons why not:

you may live with other people who have different basal temperatures from yours, aren't comfortable at 16 degrees or whatever you settle on, and didn't consent to participating in your wacky experiment;

other people may come over to visit your house without realizing in advance that they need to wear long underwear;

and low indoor temperatures promote mold growth.
> I wouldn't say that behavior is unhealthy unless it brings you to downright ignore your job/school/responsibilities.

I have a much lower bar because I don't think all video game playing is equal.

My first Pokémon game was one of the more recent ones for the switch. I didn't quite understand how the breeding worked and I was trying to breed a particular Pokémon with high stats. I spent many hours figuring out how it works and writing scripts to figure out what I should breed to get what I want, then more hours actually doing the breeding. I was fully engaged and I would consider this video game playing healthy.

I've also spent many hours just vegging out. A little of that is fine; it's one way I do some thinking. But too much of it and the day is gone and when I stop I feel bad, like I've just come out of a stupor. This, to me, is not healthy, even if I otherwise took care of all my responsibilities.
> I can see how this could be called sophisticated, but worry about language inflation because we still need something to describe technical feats that are govt/military level like Stuxnet.

To start, I want to clear a potential confusion in my previous comment. By "technical wizardry" I meant "technical hacking wizardry," e.g. buffer overflows, ROP, etc.

That said, I think Stuxnet and this hack may actually both be characterized by some of the same kind of sophistication I was referring to. IIRC, one of the biggest unique things about Stuxnet was the application of professional software engineering practices to malware. It wasn't a quick and dirty thing that one or two guys whipped up, it was a project, developed professionally over time by a team, to meet a set of requirements and allow code-reuse, etc. Not so much hacking wizardry but an application of government-scale money and personnel.
> If a person can fulfill the need by watching porn, then by definition, it is fulfilled. If a person finds it unfulfilling, well, such a person will be motivated to branch out and start doing something else.

Depends on what we are "fulfilling". Just think about an extremely overweight person who cannot stop overeating. Yes, they are fulfilled in terms of food, but (sometimes) they are self-loathing and consider the fact that they cannot stop eating a personal failure, so in that sense they are the farthest from "fulfilled".

Same is true for porn, you might be fulfilled in a sense that you get to orgasm in 10 minutes, but there are other facets of life where regular porn consumption or masturbation might have a negative effect.

Apple tends to hold back performance on first gen products and then boost them dramatically in the next iteration.
The simple solution to me seems to be to just ban use of loops hierarchically between a defer statement and a guard block. The guard block should definitely be kept as using scope seems like it confuses and complicates the notion of scope; for instance, it seems like a footgun if "if(some condition that turns out to be always true) {blah blah}" can't be refactored into "blah blah". Also, using scope seems to make it difficult to use defer in macros.
Yeah, nice. Need 64 Gb and some way to virtualize x64 operating systems though. Not everyone does web development.

I could do a good part of my work on a M1 but not with so little ram. Come to think of it, did Apple limit the first ARM Macs to 16 Gb to specifically keep people like me away from it until the software matures a bit?
Yes I agree, it's more the semantics and the legacy of x86 (page sizes, MMU, memory models - even though Rosetta still runs faster than x86) than simply decoding.
