This is very bad logic to be honest. When you have worked for some big companies, and I’ve worked for dozens and dozens of them, you know their security is basically Stone Age compared to anything in the « Cloud ». They have « firewalls » with rules nobody know about and wether they are still valid or not, they have applications running on servers they don’t know about (I saw in more than a single occasion that the « solution » is just to kill the application to see if someone is still using it), they have servers that they can’t locate, they have MPLS networks connected to remote locations with ZERO physical security (and of course the MPLS network is connected to their datacenters like it’s private network, i.e. with full access and no security at all), they have hundreds and hundreds of contractors with way way too much information, way way too much accesses, they have basically zero knowledge about what’s going on in the world of IT security, and they don’t have 10% of the people they would need to actually even try to do security, etc. etc. I mean, the security of those big companies is so ridiculous that it becomes funny. I suspect that those systems don’t crash more just because the hackers inside are actually maintaining them. There is no single doubt those companies would be 10 or 100 times more secure if they would move everything to AWS or Azure.

It's wasting millions of hours of people because you can't filter out 95% of the news one is not interested in.
It depends on how far along the company is, as IPO approaches it'll be a 0% discount. For a Series C-D, 60-70% discount isn't uncommon.

I made this mistake with Witcher 3 and got bored. Didn't even see Yennefer or Ciri on my first two attempts, spent most my time looking for a grandma's lost frying pan and shit.

But for CP2077 I remembered that this is a CDPR game. Go on and dive into the main plot, that opens up a ton of new stuff and super-interesting characters.
Those angry consumers have a responsibility to not be complete and utter babies in their response though. And, as a secondary responsibility, not to expect so much.

Sure CDP hyped the game up. But they're fools for believing it. How often do things ever live up to the hype, especially in business?

Hmm, maybe this backlash is naive kids learning how to be jaded.
> Jin was responsible for "proactively monitoring" Zoom's platform for what Beijing considers to be "illegal” meetings[.]

This concerns me. There's only so many ways to monitor a platform, and most of the ones I can think of that could be considered "proactive" involve things like watching other peoples meetings - which doesn't seem unlikely given that this event occurred in China.
You can. You just have to use other software that isn't your go-to brand name software.

Your argument is completely non-sequiter. My point has nothing to do with who gives what portion of their income. My point is that when defining who is rich, it's almost always somebody else. While taxing the rich more than the poor is a reasonable proposition, it usually will fail when defining who is actually rich, because most of whoever finds themselves defined as rich, will object and point to somebody making more than themselves as the "truly rich".

Saying it just isn't plausible that ambitious thing will happen without an argument for why it won't happen... doesn't really lead to an interesting conversation. Especially when all the arguments for why it is possible already exist in public forums.

I mildly disagree with you, but I can't even begin to take the other side of the argument without knowing why you think the price estimates given aren't plausible (or even basic facts like what the cost you are using for the Falcon Heavy is...). Other responses to you spew out random facts trying to argue that Falcon Heavy is expensive in ways that Starship isn't, but I really can't tell if those random facts are even closely related to why you think it's implausible.
This should be a clear warning to all politicians pushing for backdoors, but it won't, and they'll blame anyone but themselves.
Preordering is typically cheaper than buying the game at launch.
React (vanilla, Native, and Electron) is the one to beat here, not platform native toolkits. For a toolkit to be world class today it needs to be cross platform across web, Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

Companies want to reduce duplicated effort per platform, in order to make frontends faster and/or cheaper. That's the number one feature a toolkit can have.
Yeah, not only that. I went to a state school and we had access to a lot of computing resources I likely wouldn't have had otherwise. I attended in the 90s and unless you already had a job in the industry, you were unlikely to find a network with hundreds or thousands of computers with different OSes on them. I not only got to use macOS and Windows, but VAX, and just about every flavor of Unix at the time (AIX, HPUX, Apollo, Solaris, A/UX, etc.), and even got time on an IBM mainframe to see what that was like.

I remember, during my senior year, interviewing with a well-known company that had a grand idea for putting together a new documentation system that would allow cross-linking of documents so you could just click on a word and it would take you the definition of that word or the manual page for it. I asked, "Oh, like HTML?" to which they responded, "What's HTML?" This was around 1992-93-ish. Needless to say, I had a leg up on those already in the industry thanks to having had access to those resources at school.

It also has a lot of job opportunities. I got to be a Unix sys admin on the school network which both helped pay my expenses and gave me real-world experience. It wasn't glamorous, but it looked better on a resume than having worked flipping burgers.
Oh, I found it -- "Wheat Belly" by William Davis, is this your source for your comments?
I have been searching and it looks like this is specific to Microsoft Systems, though other systems may have helped spread it. From a couple of articles I found, the issue was in file SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll

The reason I looked was because I never saw anything stating what OS are directly impacted, all they talked about was how bad it was.

I now understand why Microsoft is pushing so many articles about this issue (outside of the fact it looks like it is a big problem for lots of companies/gov/people).
I don't see the irony? Was there a zero day that allowed them to trojan the Orion binary? I thought they just had ordinary access to change it. If there wasn't one, NOBUS doesn't really apply here? I haven't seen anything on how they got the initial access to it yet so maybe I've missed it.
Why not? Surely they must have put the very best minds money can buy on the problem to fix it?
That's wrong, though. You should first port Rust to the Amiga and then over there start to rewrite everything from scratch.

That "common rumor" has always struck me as particularly stupid. I believe it's popular because "everything is worse than you think" conspiratorial cynicism is what passes for intelligence these days.

This hack by itself should be proof that the NSA has no such capabilities. And, no, stopping this hack would not have compromised anything. They could have tipped off any one of a rather large number of security researchers, companies, or vendors affected who would have gladly made up a believable story as to how they noticed this.
As a beginner, these are questions that lead to a big rabbit hole for me.

1. Yes, it seems Projective Geometric Algebra is new enough that the terminology and symbols are still being debated.

2. Yes, people who "get" it seem pretty convinced. I think the newish PGA is attractive for convincing real-time graphics software engineers and hardware engineers. For example, it has 16 floats in R(3,0,1) too.

3. The community is there to help spread the knowledge and to help as you start finding out about all the other Geometric Algebras. And overcoming the Euclidean mindset is tough.

This is the first bit of higher-than-Calc math I've worked at in a long while and it feels like it's bending my mind in a good way, like Lisp did.

The Flag Antipattern
I still don't have a clear understanding. Apple also made big gains by integrating performance sensitive stuff on the package. AMD could do the same. I wonder if they are constrained by some hardware-level interoperability requirements across the motherboard, like with chipsets or DMA controllers or whatnot made by different companies. Apple clearly has a nice advantage here.

If you want every negative externality to be precisely captured by a fee, you will be paying fees all day long.

One approach is to capture a number of related issues in one fee at a natural point of contact that is easy to measure. It's not a crazy idea.

Fair point.

For what's it's worth, I would never invest my emotions in a product (aka: i would never pre-order and follow the hype). That's "How to get disappointed 101".

I do not expect miracles from movies/games/whatever. I let them surprise me (aka: no trailers, no reading reviews, making my own opinion of the material).

If I was expecting to buy only good games, either I would not buy a lot or I would be disappointed a lot.
I don’t think any European country has completely lifted their lockdown restrictions. All of it is a “limited re-opening.” Perhaps respiratory viruses spread much more effectively in the winter versus the summer? Maybe that’s it? Nah, it must be that everyone in Europe has perfect hygiene and practiced social distancing perfectly in the summer and they’ve all forgotten how to do those things now.

Torvalds and a few other people would disagree with you.
Well, it tries to do this but is miles from being as open or as flexible as GTA games which came out ten years ago and to compare it to RDR2 is a joke. In Red Dead, all NPCs react to you being there and have almost believable reactions to you, whereas in Cyberpunk people walk straight into you or through you.
...and the elaborate ones aren't needed very often, in my experience. So if you have many of them, it's probably overuse.
Microsoft Designing Its Own Chips for Servers, Surface PCs
Sometimes it's okay to feel directionless. What if you're simply not motivated or inspired? It annoys me when people complain about writers block. The block is there for a reason. It means you are uninspired and need to look at things from new perspectives, or think outside the box, however cliche that phrase sounds.
> Companies have been pouring resources into optimizing ARM CPUs for years now

Yes, companies (Apple especially, but also Samsung and Qualcom) have been making optimized ARM CPUs, but those designs remain within those companies. Very similar optimizations could be made on a RISC-V implementation and AMD has proven that they have the ability to make design optimizations.
I believe there's been some work in the this space by the Armbian[1] community, which is aiming to create a unified base distro for a wide range of ARM single-board computers including Odroid, Pine64, etc.

Perhaps the oddest thing in the stuff you linked is that Ron Conway has a "political advisor."

"Ron is exercising his constitutional right - even responsibility - to participate in the political process of his hometown and have opinions about candidates and issues on the ballot. It’s no different from any other CEO or union or high profile individual making endorsements. Ron understands that ranked-choice voting does not allow for multiple votes for the same candidate, though his enthusiasm for some candidates seems to have been interpreted otherwise. The fact is a lot of people in the tech community look to Ron for recommendations and he is glad to share them and encourage others to share them as well," said Alex Tourk, Conway's political advisor in an email to Business Insider.

Why not? If someone produces $1mil of value in a year, his or her good health is more important to society than someone who produces no value. Even someone on the political left should value the $300K in tax revenue that the high earner may generate.
I was wondering, so in case you were too, that other recently introduced rocket that has a <$5k/kg launch cost is the Russian Angara A5. It has flown twice. Falcon 9 has flown over 100 times. SpaceX really does have an incredible lead on the competition.
It's scary what was once called "spyware", "malware", "adware" or "other"-ware has become so commonplace and accepted.

You type in Windows 10 search and it sends your keystrokes to Microsoft, you log into Windows 10 OS (and they push hard for this during setup, they actively make it hard to use an "offline" profile) and it records your every interaction with that computer; with "full" telemetry it records every web page you visit, every app you launch, every app that has an error (you can download an app from MS store to see what telemetry W10 is sending to MS, it's quite illuminating)

These days, more and more of society expects you to have a smartphone and "apps"; "please can you scan a QR code to enter this restaurant". A supermarket has an app and offers in-store discounts on food, your data subsidizes the cost of what you purchase. Many offers are locked behind a social contract of "you give me data and I'll give you some money off". It's amusing to see how 'cheap' people are and how much data they are willing to freely give away in the name of a very very small discount (the data is worth much more than the savings you are getting).

An always online, always connected fully digital society is prone to attacks, hacks and disturbances. We've seen hospitals held to ransom and have paid bitcoins to get critical machines working again, something that shouldn't even be possible, yet one person who opens $phishingEmail.exe can bring down an entire network.

Our life is essentially in the hands of crudely built machines, with absolutely no security against basic human errors - and we trust these with the very foundation of society. One day we will witness a truly devastating hack, a disturbance unlike anything we've known previously, and it'll likely be as devastating as the Beirut explosion. It's not an if, but a when.

I want to return to a time without cars or computers, even just for a brief period (the lockdown was so nice this year. the hum of the birds and not the thunder of engines was a blessing).

Over 20 hours in on Xbox One X, three crashes. One of them post 1.04 patch, all happened while driving around town.

Was missing Judy's dialog during the ripperdoc mission, other stuff is mostly just graphical glitches, nothing game breaking.

But as a fan of the "stealth archer" the stealth system is annoying, silenced weapons aren't actually silenced. Any shot will alert EVERYONE and they'll never calm down again, they'll even mysteriously know the gender of my character even if they never saw a glimpse of me :D

This is especially jarring for the few missions which are supposed to be "recon only" or "stealth only", where clearly getting noticed should be a mission failure. You sneak around for a long time and then you get noticed. No way to go back to stealth, so it's just a long sigh and out comes the shotgun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wonder if sandboxing would reduce the impact of such attacks. It makes me look forward to fuchsia.
What are the alternatives? Surely we can't design our own systems from scratch and outdo FAANGs in terms of security, and any underdog trying to change the status quo will end becoming a feudal lord itself.

> Xeon Platinum supports 8-socket machines. 6x memory channels x 8-sockets == 48x DIMMs for your massive 6TB RAM servers.

Both AMD Epyc Rome and Ampere Altra can support 8TB of RAM in dual socket machines, so that spec isn't particularly impressive anymore.

> Platinum is crazy priced for a crazy reason: its a building block to truly massive computers that only IBM matches.

Meh. A dual-socket Rome system with 128 cores (256 threads), 8TB of RAM, and 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes is an enormous machine. A full 8 socket Platinum system is going to cost an order of magnitude (or two) more, and the performance improvement is going to be less than 2x.

An 8-socket system is going to consume an enormous amount of power, cost an unbelievable amount of money, and the complex NUMA domain combined with Intel's interconnect isn't going to "just work" for almost any software, so you're likely going to put a lot of effort into making that system barely work.

Intel Platinum is priced crazy because Intel is building monolithic processors (which means low yields) and Intel likes to have a substantial profit margin. Together, those mean high prices.

At a certain point, you're better off investing in making your application work on an accelerator of some kind, in the form of a GPU or an FPGA or task-specific ASIC, rather than giving Intel all your money in the hopes of eeking out a marginal performance improvement. Alternatively, finding software that can scale to more than one machine.

Maybe IBM has truly large systems that are worth considering. Intel doesn't right now, unless you're using some software that demands Intel for contractual reasons no one can argue with.
Flagship multi-year science missions are generally conservative with technology choices, but some NASA projects are intended as technology demonstrations and can on take more risks.

So like the Perseverance rover on its way to Mars is powered by redundant RAD 750s (same as Curiosity), but the Ingenuity helicopter along for the ride is powered by a Snapdragon 801.

It will be interesting to see how it holds up.
Also good :)

With a slingshot maneuver, why does the the direction of the inertia change though? If you zoom out far enough the lines are mostly parallel with a "dip" where there as mass. Why can an object enter parallel to a line, be dragged with the line towards the mass, miss it and exit on a path not aligned with a line? https://i.imgur.com/qj8fafd.png

That would be the same also with absurd prices right? (See brand clothing, brand phones, brand mice, etc.) It's not as if production increases when prices increase.

SolarWinds: “Your supply chain’s greatest cyber risk isn’t you” (2019)
Your misinterpretation of their comment is the source of your confusion: note that they said “a lot” and “more secure”, not perfect. There are many more breaches of on-premise systems but we don’t say that those are too risky to use — it all comes down to cost. One big advantage that cloud environments have is that you can assume everything is API-driven and there are off the shelf tools to look for common problems like the Capitol One WAF setup. You certainly can do that on-premise but you have more work to do and the bespoke nature of the environment makes misunderstandings easier.
I don't think they're comparable tbh. RSUs have a wildly lower risk profile and higher expected value. ISOs are only more valuable in outlier cases.
