My attempt at a summary:

Ripple refers to "spatial-reuse": a phenomenon where a train of packets spread from an originator uninterrupted.

With Ripple, nodes can only transmit DATA when they have received the "talking stick" (token) from the upstream originator. A downstream node can request a token with the new MAC frame: ready-to-receive. With their simulation, a node is always in either a TX, RX, or Listen state with equal proportions, so you have 1/3rd spatial-reuse.

This solves a problem in 802.11 where physical layer collision avoidance is sub-optimal for link utilization. Other protocols I am familiar with solve this with beacons to synchronize guaranteed time slots (a mode of IEEE 802.15.4), or they adopt a similar RTS/CTS scheme which can suffer from the hidden node problem.

What I cannot picture in my own head is how a packet can swim upstream: this protocol has a strong notion of upstream/downstream.

Good brands are expensive but I have had some luck with Neewer, a cheap Chinese brand. Stands are usually flimsy but if you can you should buy wall mounting arms for either your walls or your ceiling; it also preserves floor space.
"Complaining about SJW culture" could mean any of 50 things depending on who is saying it, and there's not enough context here to know what you're saying exactly, but I don't think complaining/debating it is a contentious thing. There is some absolutely bat-shit crazy stuff coming out of the extremist left. It's just not as overtly racist as the equally bat-shit crazy stuff coming out of the extremist right, and the Overton window being what it is it's not as heavily monitored/censored.

> You did not bring them up in good faith

Nobody talks about the airplane ticket thing if they care about the "wellbeing and rights" of morbidly obese people. But that doesn't detract from the facts of the point. Whether someone does or doesn't care about the wellbeing of some unnamed morbidly obese person is irrelevant to whether or not they're making a good point or argument.
I'd be interested to hear about the sorts of systems that you've worked on and how anything you can do with microservices you can do with a monolith. Some problems that I've had to solve in recent years:

- Urgently deploying a fix in one part of the system without having to deploy the _whole_ system.
- Updating the framework or the language (my favourite: updating from Java 8 to Java 11, which broke a lot of things and which we would have hated to have to do all in one go, if we'd had a monolith).
- Scaling different parts of the system independently (both in terms of running different services on different numbers of nodes and in terms of using different hardware for application nodes and DBs).
- Load testing different parts of the system independently.
- Trialling a new language or framework in a small part of the system without affecting the rest of the system.

I personally wasn't aware of how much of a big deal some of these problems would have been until our system grew to the size that it is now, with a dozen or so development teams working on at least as many services. I personally have no idea how you could solve these problems on a system this size without splitting it into independently deployable services, without incurring a massive cost.
I struggle to understand that logic

> firstly, not many people outside the security world knows that bugs are a valuable commodity for attackers. Same thing with internal orgs diagrams which are something you can sell to economic intelligence firms.

All you need to realize its value is read some security related news for a week.

Also you can have security_interested people apply to FAANG and then cause harm.

>secondly, top-tier orgs like FAANG usually peppers a lot of telemetry around known bugs in production code in order to see if someone isn't exploiting them (or simply to better track down the root cause).

As you said - around known bugs, so it's irrelevant here
>but people do usually place their money in a savings account.

No, they don't. Some people have some money in saving accounts, but the VAST majority of people's savings are in houses and in retirement plans, which are not cash holdings. Only a very small amount of people have the majority of their savings only in cash for periods long enough that compound inflation kills the savings.

As to things like the Fed, and inflation:

Every single country in the world has chosen to use central banking due to the lessons learned over the past few hundred years, and especially during the Great Depression, that having a politically independent central bank target low inflation results in the most stable, predicable economy. It gives decent ability to balance shocks, lower unemployment, make business smooth and predictable, and avoid deflationary spirals, which are devastating. Compared the period right before the world started understanding how this can work, there is no question that volatility and destructive cycles are now vastly better.

I get the idea that you have not ever studied economics, especially monetary policy, but just like you probably have not studied quantum physics or brain surgery or ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, just know that mankind has put tremendous effort into all of these and has learned some very useful things.

So - given that centuries of good thinkers following centuries and hundreds of countries of evidence have come to the conclusion that low inflation and central banking are wise, and not the product of conspiracy Illuminati nonsense, then you should adjust your beliefs that this is wise, in the same way you'd understand medicine, physics, math, etc., are all studied and the experts do indeed understand them vastly better than the general populace.

Thus, since there will be targeted inflation of around 2%, it is dumb to assume one should simply save all their money as cash. Invest it in broad index funds, or something similar.

>I am caught off-guard by the power of compound interest.

All the more reason to not hold cash, which has zero reason to grow, and has a very solid reason to shrink in buying power, and invest in productive assets with savings. The compound growth of productive assets then works for you, not against you.

>But while it is absurd to store you money in a coffee can in the shed for 30+ years, I'm not sure it should be.

It is absurd given the rest of the evidence around us.

> It is also possible this was a prevailing thought, or that the environment was encouraging of such thoughts, in that nation at that time; that something caused division, and that the nazi used this as a way to assert power and spearhead their ideology.

Doesn't this exactly confirm the original claim that words do lead to actions and therefore affect people's rights?
English is rife with metaphorical or imprecise uses of words with precise meanings, so the rigorous definition of 'axiom' doesn't become relevant in a (non-math-focused) essay very often.

But I agree that this list of opinions stretches the term enough that it's a distraction - these are just well-framed observations about the nature of engineering.

Public companies like NSO that are on the books can be taken down. They also limit to whom they sell. And sometimes can help to limit the damage (eg, I suspect Iran cannot use NSO tools to attack the Mossad).

But if their employees are hired by companies that are hacking for profit or "national security", there is no one to "take down". Or even keep your eye on.

And if they are hired by companies that sell this software in markets that are impossible to regulate (such as is done with hacked credit cards et al, from Russia, N. Korea, and elsewhere), then their hacks will be made available in such a manner that you perhaps could eventually take down some of them (if you spend dozens of years and gobs of money and arm-twisting), but by then the damage will be 100-fold, since there are no limits to whom it is sold. And even then, you can never know what else you missed.
As a medicinal chemist working on human reproduction I can give a little perspective (though not as much as a bio chemist with knowledge of human reproduction).

These things are very hard to quantify, but all studies so far points to microplastic being bad. Not poisonous like lead, or deadly like uranium in ceramics. Instead they are a bit more sneaky. While plastic in itself is not so bad, all the other stuff in plastic is. Take BPA [1], a known endocrine disruptor. It is especially bad for humans in the early stages of development and has life long effects. Boys will have less testosterone (leading to multiple knock off effects) and girls will have earlier puberty, more breast and other types of cancer. Because the doses are so low the effect are not typically seen in individuals. Instead we detect them on population scale. An example is the testosterone levels of men is dwindling each year [2]. Of course correlation does not equal causation, but more and more studies are pointing to chemical disruption.

Wikipedia [0] doesn't agree with you (neither do I, but who am I anyway?):

"A bare-metal server is a computer server that hosts one tenant, or consumer, only.[1] The term is used for distinguishing between servers that can host multiple tenants and which utilize virtualisation and cloud hosting.[2] Such servers are used by a single consumer and are not shared between consumers. Each server may run any amount of work for a user, or have multiple simultaneous users, but they are dedicated entirely to the entity who is renting them. Unlike servers in a data centre, they are not being shared between multiple customers.

Bare-metal servers are physical servers. Each server offered for rental is a distinct physical piece of hardware that is a functional server on its own. They are not virtual servers running in multiple pieces of shared hardware."

What's even better is most ethical and moral people know these companies do bad things, but in the best case are afraid to speak out because the companies wield so much career and economic influence. In the worst case, people are wilfully helping out for a pay cheque.

There are some funny things going on in Silicon Valley. For years tech billionaires have been telling us how there's no place on earth for doing business like the Valley. Now they are packing up and moving to Texas because they never had any intention of sharing their ungodly wealth.

McGraw-Hill was pushing PDFs when I was starting to get into my major classes. One class's PDF was so bad our teacher got into direct contact with the McGraw-Hill rep. The PDF cost more than the physical book and the text was completely unreadable. They ended up giving us some kind of Xerox copy of the book because they were unable to supply a pdf you could read. The resolution of the text was absolutely terrible.

I am glad I graduated before they started monitoring us. Most of my major classes were open book but there's no way you had enough time to look everything up or understand the complex subject.

McGraw-Hill is looking for any way to squeeze more money out of the school and students.

I'm pretty much anti-Intel because I lost 10 years of my life waiting for CPUs to advance (hyperbole!), and it took a swift kick from AMD to get any traction there.

But I also think it's a little short-sighted to predict the next 5 years based on the past 5 years. Intel's Tiger Lake is remarkably good, albeit limited by production capacity (tops out at 4 cores and not found in many products). As an indication of what Intel is capable of, if they start producing CPUs on better processes (before your 5 year prediction), they are very likely to regain the status of at least competitive.

Even if all bias were removed from life, any free meritocracy would still perpetuate it. People can choose to make less, and some people can't add as much value as others.
For reference, the 16” MacBook Pro has a 3072‑by‑1920 display.

This means the 27” 4K monitors that are the industry standard now for some reason at 3,840 x 2,160 are almost twice the size, yet have barely more resolution than the MacBook true retina screen.

MacOS can do scaling to adjust for this, but it uses the least amount of resources in native or pixel doubled mode. Any display that is between the resolutions I mentioned (like 27 4K) requires fractional scaling.

This is more resource intensive, and doesn’t look as good as pure retina.

Here’s a better explanation:

Everyone of us can do so much.

And honestly, if this is the first time its scientific proven that there is microplastic already in a fetus, thats news worthy to me.

I will also not get into your strawman argument; Other toxins, air pollution etc. is bad but doesn't make the microplastic situation any better or worse.

Based on what you write 'its not that i dont' care' why do you take so much effort to take the issue down? Its not that the issue will suddenly have theonly priority of our society just because you also think its wrong.

On January4th an additional 1.05 Billion shares come free trading as their 6 month lockup expires.

Its conceivable Ethereum itself could double and ETHE could still drop 50%.

From what I remember Stellar started as a fork of XRP by Jed McCaleb, who also created XRP. As I understand it, technically it has evolved a lot since then, so I don't know how much of the concept is still shared with Ripple.

As for what this SEC lawsuit would mean to them, your guess is as good as mine. The price of XLM has dropped a little [0] and actually tracks XRP reasonably closely [1].

It doesn't. Thats what i added as additional information.

From the text, 'toxins' are mentioned:

Even assuming you actually have multiple specializations in the same binary, which is not a given, only the one being in use or that it will be used very soon will be in L1. Instruction cache prefetching is extremely effective.

> The lazy conglomerates who sell these peripherals often don’t actually produce the parts in them

> Combine this with the fact that most home users don’t care about good quality or even know what it is, and you have the current situation.

It sounds apt. But... There is an absolutely thriving market for keyboards and mice.

For both, conglomerates like logitech and microsoft are selling both what you describe as 'crap', as well as higher end stuff that tries to care about quality. Possibly not in the way you think is most important, but certainly a Logitech MX Master3 keyboard retailing at >$100 is not a cheap piece of crap. The letters aren't inked on, for example, thus ensuring they don't rub off particularly easily. Not a feature that is advertised or is likely to show up in a review. The kind of quality move that doesn't make sense if the market is just 'assholes selling crap to idiots'.

Keyboards are even more interesting; a lively indie market for custom-built usually mechanical keyboards, supported by parts manufacturers where price isn't particularly important.

I agree, though - the webcam market is quite a mess. So, what's the explanation for that? Why do keyboards and mice not fall under your 'assholes selling crap to idiots' rule?
