No need to speculate, there are plenty of countries doing variations on UBI already, and they have been for many decades. We can learn from what they do.

Australia gives around $1130 AUD / month to anyone that is low income, or doesn't have a job [1] (There is an additional $300/mo right now for COVID, but lets ignore that.)

It is means tested, but the result is that anyone that doesn't have a job (for any reason at all - don't want one, quit, can't be bothered) gets that payment. You get more if you have kids, and you might get more for rent assistance too. It's been that way for decades, and Australia's economy has not magically been destroyed. Inflation is not through the roof, prices did not magically go up to just use up this free money.

On the plus side, crime and violence are extremely low, and multiple Australian cities are in the top 100 most livable on the planet. [2]

That only lists the number, not what the # actually means in terms of actual lithography or more importantly, transitor performance. It used to be minimum feature size, or just L of the gate, but with finfet it can be an overloaded term. Scaling in x of .75 and y of .7 lead to 10% performance improvement per node at Intel. TSMC hasn't been that clear. And that doesn't even account for increase in metal layers, pitch of layers (or if they use poly lower layers to get even faster gains), or average track density due to above/below electromigration minimums.

EDIT: All of this stuff is usually stated at ISSCC every time a new process is announced, so it isn't NDA. I haven't followed this in years which is why I was asking for a process person to step in.

Of course this means that you're actually not doing the exact same thing at the same company all the time. A good company allows for that. Either because you can easily switch projects, switch teams, move up, move sideways etc. Depends on things like company size, structure, culture etc. And yourself obviously.
Well, I've had a Mac continuously since the original 128k Mac, so I'm pretty well situated as an observer of all things Apple and more knowledgeable about their history and their machines/software then the vast majority of their employees, some of whom are close friends.

I want them to listen, since the decisions they make affect the ecosystem I've adopted for my extended family (for whom I'm the main technical point of contact,) and poor ones will affect me and them disproportionately.

So to me, it doesn't feel at all like entitlement, rather, the wishes of a longtime, loyal customer hoping they continue down the path of listening to those of us who have promoted their products and helped make them successful.
I see Intel not being dominant, having to take a back seat, shrinking a bit.

But dying??

Nup, I'm not seeing this at all.

I mean AMD for years survived in a situation much worse then Intel currently is.

Intel's productions nodes might be behind TSMC's but they are still quite valuable, not all chips need 5nm processes. Heck we could say most chips don't need it.

Intel is still innovating, just because they currently lack behind doesn't mean that will stay that way.

Even when lacking behind wrt. the production node Intel still manged to produce Chips which are often not much worse then the competition.

Intel is not just about CPU's.

Etc.

So no Intel is not dying at all.

It's taking damage, and lost dominance but it still has a fairly good shot at survival and might even take back dominance (in a 2-3 years). Or it might not but still stay competitive.

And if we look at the world situation TSMC might not be a think anymore in a view years. It would make me supper angry but thinks are heading in that direction (China Taiwan conflict).
There is no call to invent reasons of entitlement or faithlessness in engineering prowess when the desire is simply to control your own device.

Agreed! Especially for a smaller library or one that wouldn't adequately take advantage of jQuery shortcuts (or if you're using another library for DOM/shadow DOM, like react/angular/vue/etc)

Counterpoint, if you're developing a library, then (based on this page itself), each line that would depend on jQuery would otherwise balloon to 15 times as large, so maybe the highly optimized jQ dependency would be worthwhile if the extra functionality would actually be useful (or perhaps "slim" jQuery). The savings would increase for each additional library that had a shared dependency on jQuery.

But, anyway, developer time is valuable, and the 80kb or so for jQuery will probably be blown away as soon as you stick a single image on the page.

Every fab plays loose and fast with the terms, including Intel these days.

More or less TSMC 7nm := Intel 10nm, and TSMC 5nm := Intel 7nm. It's more complex than that, one has denser logic while the other has denser SRAM and what have you, but it's a good baseline.

Since Intel is struggling with 10nm but is shipping, that puts TSMC about a node and a half ahead.

If you want to dig in deeper, wikichip has most of the public specifics on the process nodes (which are heavily shrouded in secrecy). For instance: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process
Every time I read about Tether, it seems patently obvious there's something fishy about it. Yet every time the price of BTC just goes up and Tether keeps appearing out of thin air.

They probably could and I'm assuming they would just sell it to a collections agency for pennies on the dollar and the collections agency would just send an automated notice hoping the person would pay it. For example, I had wave internet in seattle and when I moved I obviously canceled. They screwed up setting the cancellation date though and ended up charging me the next month. Just got a collections notice for that 1 month of charges. I messaged them and apparently there is nothing they can do from their end at this point so now I'm disputing it with the collections agency.

Pretty dumb on their part if you ask me considering now I'm telling everyone not to use them because of their screwup and the fact that they would sell it to a collections agency over 1 months worth of payments.
It also shows that you can't compare nm measurements which measure slightly different thinks and are missing out a lot of factors ;=)

JIT requires bypassing exploit mitigations e.g. W^X. JIT doesn't make an app that's already been subverted any more dangerous than it would otherwise be, but it makes it easier to exploit the app in the first place.

To be honest I think having a pessimism bias towards large corporations is healthy. Sure, they might in the end do a good thing (or a less harmful thing than they could have), but they have a huge amount of power and very little oversight.

I like Apple products, but I try to avoid any illusion that they’re good guys on a corporate scale. They’ve proven they’re not in a lot of ways (see many recent articles about their labor practices). That doesn’t mean every thing they do should be equally scrutinized with a pessimistic predisposition. But I really don’t fault anyone for assuming a large for profit organization will prioritize their own priorities over everything else.

The thing I try to moderate that with is understanding their actual priorities and not just falling into blind cynicism.

There is nothing wrong with this on its own. The real flaw was not stripping the exif data. Although I guess sequential IDs did enable an easier attack on the real flaw.
This and constant nagging that I'm running out of space (I'm definitely not), and (tightening?) limits on number of machines, had me migrate to Synology Drive this last week. Now I have basically unlimited space and devices.

Haha, sure, but there's only a node or so difference. 10nm Intel is about 7nm TSMC density wise (with a lot of caveats in either direction, one has denser logic, the other has denser SRAM, etc).

Amazing how unregulated this stuff is. What happens if USDT falls bellow 1 by a lot? Who's going to win and who's going to lose?
"Higher yield nodes" are full, that's why Intel is outsourcing to TSMC. Intel has already sold every 14nm, 22nm, 32nm and 45nm wafer it can make. They have zero capacity, which is an amazing problem for a "dying" company to have.

Even if they axed all process R&D and returned the cash to shareholders, due to the eye watering costs of designing at 10nm and lower I expect there will be a lot of business to keep their fabs turning over for the next decade.
Seems better than perennial back pain from sitting long hours and getting brain fried from implementing same logic of micro-service 1000th time for a 'challenging' project.
And, of course, including AMD.
We need Intel as a competitor to TSMC and AMD. Also we need Intel from a national security point of view. Intel is definitely facing tough competition but that's not new for them. Intel will definitely have to reimagine the SoC but this is far from over.
I worked at Intel years ago.

At that time, The ratio of excellent to useless people I experienced there was 1:40. That is way out of whack. I am certain it only got worse because all the 1/40’s I knew left.

They are going to have to go and get people who have modern skillsets and mindsets and those people don’t want to live in Hillsboro. And it’s going to be expensive.

And those people don’t tolerate dead weight.

My take is that Bob Swan was only ever a placeholder. The board needed to be put in the worst possible negotiating position: Literally on their knees begging because they are getting their asses kicked in every single competitor category.

A smart guy like Pat wouldn’t take the CEO job until they (a) are crawling on all fours and (b) give him the latitude to clean house as vigorously as he wants and (c) a preposterous paycheck.

No one intelligent would want that job without all three. That’s why Bob got to babysit that role for two years.

The imagined timeline of this comment doesn't seem to align with reality. The exclusion list was already present in the first WWDC builds in summer 2020, as the Little Snitch developers noticed: https://blog.obdev.at/a-hole-in-the-wall/

The Mac "OSCP appocalypse" occurred in November on the day that Big Sur was released to the public, with the exclusion list still present, and a number of firewall developers were already aware of the exclusion list and had reported bugs to Apple.
This comment is a great example of what I call "lines of code mindset" which is form of tip of the iceberg mentality, where programmers optimize for simplicity only the code they see. Is saving 10-15 lines worth it if you need an 86.1 Kb vendor dependency? Hidden complexity you don't control is the most expensive kind I think.
I don't know if this is FUD or legit, but something might take place with Tether on Jan 15? Anyone have more insight into these things?

I’m not sure Itanium was a technical failure, to me it always was a business model failure as that CPU was co-developed with HP and essentially became a dedicated HP-Oracle box and by the time the ecosystem was opened up it was too late.

The heavy reliance on the compiler for ILP was an “odd-choice” but not something that was unsound in principle.

If the ecosystem was more open from the get go and more vendors were involved it had a much better chance of taking off.

And if nothing else at least it was something new.

The biggest disappointment I have with Itanium is that it and later Larabee/XeonPhi kinda pushed Intel even further into their own little x86 box when it came to processing units.

I think that failure is also why they haven’t really done anything interesting with Altera.
Work is exchange of the only finite resource you have (your life) for money. You sure would want the best deal you can get.
In fairness, Intel probably has enough people left who remember Itanium and are scared of trying big new innovation for an honestly legitimate reason.
I doubt the “choose not to use jQuery” path means “never write a function to wrap up that boilerplate”. The point is that you might be able to write the equivalent function instead of pulling down a whole library.

That said, optimization techniques have gotten good enough that you might be able to just let a build tool do that for you. If you really still want to use jQuery.
Nice! When we chose a time tracker for consulting, having a paid option that is also open source would have been a major pro point (so we can rely on it not disappearing, and being able to fix blocking issues ourselves).

You mentioned here that you don't want to add tiered pricing, but I do recommend to add support for paying for a whole organisation in batch (N users, so that the individuals at an org don't have to manage billing separately and an admin take care of it -- the individual's time to manage billing costs much more than the monthly price).
Ask HN: How to identify nascent OSS where you can contribute significantly?
Most OSS already have hundreds of contributors and most of the core components are already built out. Only minor fixes here and there are required with almost no new features being added. I am thinking of contributing to OSS but I want my contribution to be significant in it's development. Cherry on top would be something related to microservices. So HN is there a way to identify such projects?
> > makes it much easier to found and grow a business without the threat of death

> And yet you see a lot of Europeans and Canadians founders going to the valley for funding. Yet the opposite almost never happens.

Just because it is easier to found and grow a business doesn't mean the environment is friendly to founding and funding a high-growth business.

In fact, an environment that is friendlier to SMEs, lifestyle, and bootstrapped companies probably reduces the pressure to jump into a VC-funded high-growth swing-for-the-fences model. Combine that with a less generous funding climate, and those who do want to go that route will go somewhere else for their funding.

But I don't think the reverse applies in terms of attracting entrepreneurs that don't wish to go the high-growth route from elsewhere.

"It's unlikely it would even be laglly possible to compel them to do this."

But then, at a higher level, look at the unilateral/collective censorship ("deplatforming") that is happening right now... and being carried out in part by Amazon. None of the censors have been legally compelled to take any such actions.
> That's why Apple has the Developer and Public Beta releases for iOS/OSX so that external users can provide feedback. And on this occasion just like on many other they will take action if necessary.

Except that Apple did not take action. Firewall developers such as Little Snitch did become aware of the issue during the beta releases and gave feedback to Apple, which Apple ignored and shipped it anyway to the public. https://blog.obdev.at/a-hole-in-the-wall/
No. Offering Lower prices than is economically sustainable and viable is predatory and anticompetitive. In international trade it is called “dumping” and is illegal. Just because companies are getting away with it doesn’t mean it’s ok.
Not true unless you can prove this.
Depending on which branch of conservatism you subscribe to, it very well may be. I’ve seen many conservatives heavily imply (or outright say) that even Fox is untrustworthy now that they dared say something negative about Trump. And even before that, Fox, RT, Breitbart, etc. were the “go to” conservative outlets. Never WSJ. Of course, my experience may not be yours.
In an age of hyper-sophisticated algorithms for which our puny mammal brains are no match, I think that's less and less true.

Free speech absolutism as an ideal doesn't make sense. The whole reason the notion of free speech exists is that people should be able to say things that other people don't like. Saying that we'd be able to have free speech absolutism if only people didn't say or do X is just "X is unacceptable speech" in disguise. If you exclude "bad" speech, freedom of speech is easy!

This thread originated with a comment saying it would be ideologically inconsistent for Pirate Bay's mantra to be "information wants to be free" and still remove schematics for 3D printing guns. My point was that a non-absolutist free speech stance is not inherently contradictory.

I'm not really interested in a full-throated debate about tech giants' moderation policies right now. But since you seem to think the censorship is unilateral and one-sided, I'd invite you to search through Twitter histories and see who was speaking out about FOSTA-SESTA, or Tumblr's NSFW ban. You'll find it was opposed mostly by libertarians and leftists — while the conservatives now wailing about censorship (and, in fairness, corporate liberals) didn't make a peep.
