Another thing that stops someone from Dong Bei from succeeding is universities like Tsinghua/Beijing have set quotas for each province/area. For example Tsinghua has more open seats for the city of Beijing than the entire province of Sichuan. If you're born in Beijing you not only have far higher likelyhood of getting accepted to a top school, but also the Gao Kao is much easier in Beijing than in other provinces.
"Notable absent from that list is he fired Pat Gelsinger.
Please just bring him back as CEO." - [1] 2012 on HN, when Paul Otellini Retired.

"The only one who may have a slim chance to completely transform Intel is Pat Gelsinger, if Andy Grove saved Intel last time, it will be his apprentice to save Intel again. Unfortunately given what Intel has done to Pat during his last tenure, I am not sure if he is willing to pick up the job, especially the board's Chairman is Bryant, not sure how well they go together. But we know Pat still loves Intel, and I know a lot of us miss Pat." [2] - June, 2018

"This is the same as Intel pushing out Pat Gelsinger. The product people get pushed out by sales and marketing. Which are increasingly running the show at Apple." [3] 30 Days ago.

And numerous other reference since 2009. Many more around various other forums and twitter. I am getting quite emotional right now. I cant believe this is really happening. ( I am wiring this with tears in my eyes! ) I guess Andy Bryant retired makes the decision a little easier. And Pat has always loved Intel. I guess he is pissed those muppets drove it to the ground.

This is 12 years! 12 years to prove a point! Consider 4 - 5 years of work in lead-time since he left in 2009. That is 2014. Guess what happen after 2014?

May be it is too little too late? Or May be this will be another Andy Grove "Only the paranoid survive" moment?

The King is Back at Intel, despite being a fan of Dr Lisa Su, I am little worry about AMD.

Well, would you count Jews as “white” in this context? Because Google, Facebook and Microsoft are all managed and/or mostly owned by Asians and Jews.

Thanks. I'm definitely looking for device x domain granularity at minimum. It looks like there a variety of monitoring options with OpenWRT (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/network_monitor...) but I will likely just go with Firewalla initially as a plug-and-play solution.
Most fungal spores have only moderate heat resistance and die at temperatures below 80 degrees Celsius.

Substrate sterilization with a pressure cooker prevents bacterial growth and inactivates fungal virus that may ruin your harvest.
Does anyone remember the stuff Douglas Hofstadter wrote about Metafont, human creativity and artificial intelligence?

I was wondering recently whether thay might not age terribly well. Some of the things he claimed to be very difficult for a machine recently seem to be within reach.

This would encourage the people who have the most options to leave, and those with the least to stay. This isn't necessarily the same, but is likely to be very similar to encouraging your best employees to leave, the worst ones to stay.
I would expect the cooling to have a scaling advantage-- heat gain is proportional to surface area, but the mount of superconducting mojo you can use is proportional to volume so it should be more energy efficient to build larger devices.
Not a new company but rebooting an existing and am using .net. Being able to run on Google Cloud Run is awesome.
Ask HN: Would HN be even better if comment karma scores were invisible?
Many years ago[0] I asked which mechanisms were in place here to punish noise and reward signal.

Overall I think: dang does an incredible job, the guidelines are great, and the site itself is really well designed.

But I often wonder: Would HN be even better if comment karma scores were invisible? By all means, continue to use votes for sorting, and perhaps continue greying out items once they fall below some threshold (ideally -2 or worse, not zero). But what value does the visible score provide? And does that value outweigh the negatives? From observation of myself and others, having the score visible leads to some unhealthy behaviour.

Maybe dumb question but why are they distributing through the Mac App Store? Seems like a lot of these problems are due to the review process. It is possible to just do direct downloads on the Mac.
I actually just moved all my stuff from Dropbox to B2 buckets. My December bill was like $0.09
It's also a good analogy because you get to argue whether 'nuking' the enemy is worth introducing 'nukes' into the game in the first place.
haha, did this actually happen? i imagine him being in the kitchen discovering the empty remains of the last bag of potato chips immediately prior.
You do whatever you want and then ban anything and anybody publishing anti-Apple headlines in your platforms. Win win!
If "almost everyone" fails some expectation, is the problem with the people or the expectation?

The average user might not be super invested in the application, they just know that something doesn't work, which is frustrating. If their only outlet for that is a bug report, the developers get overwhelmed with bad bug reports and users get the expectation that the developer is going to fix all their problems for them.

If the outlet is a feedback form instead, maybe the user can feel listened to in a small way and move on. The developer doesn't have to sift through a bunch of issues, they can just follow up if there seem to be any hot-spots that are causing a lot of frustration.
this is article from 2017 which compares 5 generation old cpu vs other 5 generation old CPU
Point taken. I've seen them do that for Youtube as well -- basically, they don't include Youtube vids in your data plan if you are ok with them degrading the video experience (and you can disable that sort of "feature"). However, this doesn't seem very compelling -- some of the things cable modem providers have done (DPI, injecting SYN or RST's into traffic) can end up far worse, but customers only put up with nonsense like that for so long (unless it's a de facto monopoly in that area).
Yup this is known as the Dead Sea Effect [0]. Your best people leave and you're left with the worst performers. Do this a few times and you end up with a barely functioning organisation.

Growing marketshare but profitably and without impairing the brand is what Apple is about. That's why we have the iPhone SE. The M series lets them do that with the Mac now. And more Macs implies more Apple services sales.

It's certainly partly defensive - they were frustrated with Intel - but Apple would only make a move of this scale if it thought it created business opportunities for them.
Slashdot did this (maybe still does). I don’t know the exact mechanism for determining how many. They also had meta-moderation where they’d give you a list of posts and votes and ask if you thought the voting was fair. Doing that was supposed to make it more likely you got votes. I got them regularly and then one day never got them again. I suspect it was because I “failed” in the meta-moderation voting, but I had also been critical of the site and there were rumors of a blacklist.
Honestly my home life is significantly calmer and more stable than my work life. Working in IT as a sysadmin, your entire work life consists an abundance of chaos, and a lot of things are out of your control that you can get blamed for anyway, even if you are not blamed for something out of your control, say office 365 is down. It still looks bad on you. It would be nice to work in an Industry with structure and actual rewards for your effort.
Flying cars (well, human scale drones with autopilots) are definitely something I can believe Apple would do.

I don't think they have done it or started projects to look at it yet or we'd have heard rumors already, but I definitely think they'd be interested.
>For me I felt completely powerless at the hospital. At work I got to solve “important” problems that were trivial in comparison to the things I had no control over, and was rewarded for doing so. It felt good to be useful when my life felt in complete chaos outside of work.

Wow, did this resonate with me. In my case, I was suffering from depression, though I didn't realize it at the time. The extreme focus required by work distracted me from how miserable I was. I dreaded going home and constantly came up with excuses to go to the office on weekends.
"Stop lying!" is ineffective, because they don't think they are lying. They are believing things to be true based on circumstantial evidence and wishful thinking because they actively want to believe it is true. IMO, if Trump and Cruz and all the rest are lying then they first and foremost lied to themselves. And it is ferociously difficult to convince someone that they are lying to themselves.

IMO, folks didn't take away the right lessons from the justification for the Iraq War. Those in charge believed the shoddy evidence for WMDs because they were actively looking for evidence that supported their POV and would justify the actions they wanted to take. The lesson should be to demand a higher evidentiary standard before you act on it. To be cold and dispassionate about that evaluation. I remember watching Colin Powell's presentation to the UN. There is no doubt in my mind that he believed in what he was saying. Nevertheless, dispassionate observers could tell that this was not hard evidence. "Trust us, its well-supported," cannot be sufficient justification for actions on the scale of "invade another country" or "overturn an election".

Nobody should accept that any more.
I’m not American, I guess this is all obvious to Americans but to most Europeans it’s pretty baffling.

And I’m not sure what the problem with my coffee shop example is, are the rules different for shops than for universities, or why is it irrelevant?

The redactions on some of these documents are absolutely ridiculous.

What is the point for releasing documents in a state that leaves them completely useless.
This is the real reason. 90+% of their customers are, for lack of a better word, idiots when it comes to “hacking”. The ISP just doesn’t want to deal with it. And for the 10-% who do know what they’d be doing, the ISP doesn’t care because it’s another configuration they have to support.

There’s a reason ISPs won’t help you if you hook your own router up. It’s not malicious. Just then doing what makes sense from a financial and a training standpoint.

It’s scummy, but the Dunning-Kruger effect with tech is very real.
The tech companies are just ahead of regulation on this. That’s not to say, that banning the president of America, from a platform isn’t problematic or that big tech lacks the public mandate to do so. But that doesn’t change the fact, that right wingers can expect to see their freedoms limited if they continue to pose a danger to society.

I think you can expect to see the EU simentaniously work to regulate big tech and any platform that houses right wing terrorists. Just like it does with ISIS related networks.

It’s just that it takes more time for the democratic bureaucracy to grind into gear.

Of course it doesn't matter if it's just used for syncing some office files but Dropbox is common in creative fields like video production and visual effects where sync performance is a real selling point.
Keep in mind that although that regulatory certification approach does indeed increase security, it can also greatly constrain innovation. It's most appropriate once systems have matured a bit.

FWIW, there was an average of one steam boiler explosion EVERY WEEK in America (frequently with loss of life) when the ASME was founded to set standards for safe design and certification. So it can take considerable pain before efforts like take off. The FAA had the advantage of already having that kind of certification as an already established model, plus airlines were eager to have a stamp of safety approval.

It's hard to see how a "security certification" standard could really provide much assurance in today's world - witness the inadequacy of FIPS, SOC, the outright laughable HIPAA, etc. PCI is one of the only certs that really provides any kind of assurance, but it's driven by the banks that insist on it being there to protect themselves. And recent events have shown that we have way too much centralized control of electronic payments processing already...
i loved my WRT in the beginning for XLink Kai .. after that when i got a new router i used the WRT as a range extender which was nice until the wifi basically died .. loved tomato.. i think i still have one ..

I doubt that anyone at Intel might be offended by the blessing of a wafers if it worked xD

The stock jumped quite high though. Not sure if its because really bad ceo was replaced with slightly less bad one.
>But that doesn't mean it is a healthy way to spend all of your time.

Dunno about that.

Just a personal anecdote, but this year my boss specifically told me to work less, slashing my salary down by $10,000 a year to emphasize the point. Prior to this, 200 to 240 hours a month was pretty typical and has been for the last 8 years. (I doubt it's out of real concern for my health, my workload hasn't been reduced).

What I've found was that in the times of idleness though I've thought more and more about suicide. The Christmas holidays were some of the first I've had to have an entire week to myself and I spent most of it was spent testing methods for speed, logistics, and discomfort, as well as scouting suitable locations; somewhere that would force an EMS / police arrival on site by 10 minutes or so. Updated my will and managed to work out the logistics of transferring all my assets to to remaining family quickly when I finally make the decision to kill myself.

Never in my life has it gotten this far before; never really had time to seriously think about until now. I'd imagine that most people though would probably be more fine with a miserably but living workaholic, then a corpse dead of suicide.

As such, could you really say that is working long hours such is really unhealthy? Or such a terrible thing?
this is really interesting!!!
i am considering a drop exactly like that except from 100k to 62k in order to clear up the anxiety induced helltrain i'm currently on, asked about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25765287

sounds like you made the right choice, i am getting more and more convinced about sacrificing the career to get time for treating myself and the family better
I'm sorry to hear that it's thankless. Thank you for doing it. It is one of the pillars of my sanity, and I am not exaggerating.
I remember when I first heard of dropbox, I just started college and all my peers started sharing their space race challenge links to get 25gb free, must be ~8 years ago. Service was great for exchanging notes and other studying related material. By then 25gb felt like a lot. However fast forward two years, the 25gb free plan ran out if you didn't convert to a pro plan, which I don't think anyone I knew did, because by then the university caught on and provided their own free NAS up to 100GB. Also if you purchased an office 365 student license you got 1TB free for a couple years. I used those services a lot during college, but there was never a need for me to go for any pro plan. Haven't used dropbox since I graduated several years ago.

I've always thought dropbox must make their revenue in B2B because spending hundreds of dollars for cloud for storage a year as an individual never made sense to me.
The support angle is the party line for why they want to own the boxes, but there has never been any actual data to back this up. Further I do not see this being a real problem, hell I use a custom router but if I have a problem I have hook up the ISP router to talk to customer service, I am fine with that.

The real reason they want this is 2 fold

1. Money. it is always money. They want to be able to advertise "Internet for only $30" but then tack on 20-30 in "other fees" to get that bill up, $5-10 for a router is an easy gain

2. Control. Companies like comcast have lots of control over the endpoints to the point where they can manipulate the firmware do do what ever they need for traffic management or even offer public wifi access to all your neighbors...
You can be generally interested in subject and still not be in mood to pay attention this week. It is completely normal for humans to have ups and downs in motivation or to find some part of material more interesting then others. Or to be tired because you stayed too late last night. It is also completely normal for humans to be disorganized or procastinate.

School system that assumes that everyone is perfectly motivated, organized and disciplined at all times will fail a lot.

Second, many people are motivated by social contact with other people who do the same thing. By both competition and mutual help. That is again quite normal for humans and these people will find watching videos more boring.
Was a software developer but realised it’s much easier to be competitive, if you’re a good but not great dev, to get higher paying SDET roles.
Imagine Apple closes your iCloud account for some vague terms of service violation -- and it bricks your (very expensive) car.
Really? So Congress can force a private company to publish the President's content against their will?
The group plan covers employees. Former employees are not going to be eligible. Though the company can pay the COBRA premiums for the same coverage fairly seamlessly.

I was part of a group that split from a company, our new company paid COBRA premiums for our people until we set up our own group plan for the next year.

Bad content drowns out good content, perhaps? "...until only bad is left" is a bit of absolutism that we haven't reached yet on the tubes.
"the future is here and nobody is astonished."

Maybe thats because that is always the case (even though progress accelerated).

But since for most people the future still means they slave away in a boring job, that might be a reason they are not thrilled all the time.
I recently sold my UDMP and bought some mikrotik gear, because the device hat very tight limits on what ubiquiti wants you to do with it. No wireguard was an annoyance I could live with, but disabling NAT was not possible and a switch backplane running at 1gbps were the final blow. Also I do not want to have to log into an online account to use my (maybe airgapped) router.
The issue with this approach is that the company then leaves itself vulnerable to a big brain drain. If the bulk of those volunteers end up being your best seniors/leads who know they can just go down the street and pick up another job at comparable comp all while getting a cozy three month vacation that you're bankrolling...well, it's easy to see how you could be left in a much worse position imo.
I have a Prius and I'm one of the apparent few Prius owners that hate it. Not because of the mileage--I've heard that the Prius hybrid engine is some top-notch engineering.

No, I hate my Prius because there are so many little things that make it obnoxious to use. When I first bought it, after a day I took it back to the dealership and told them to either disable to "beep" that it did when in reverse or take the car back. They disabled the beep but, speaking of beeps; my god the beeping! It has a nice feature that when I get out of the car all I need do to lock it is touch the handle and it'll lock all the doors. Except if one door is still open and then it will play a constant beep for about 10 seconds which is, simply put, infuriating. Doesn't help that my son takes forever to get out of a car for some reason.

Almost every button on the console is backlit, as one would expect, except for the gear shifter. No, in order to light that, they put a light on the ceiling of the car that shines down on the shifter so you can see it at night. Why? Why not backlight the shifter like all the buttons around it?

It's for these and many, many other reasons I'm looking forward to an Apple Car. Apple's attention to detail. That's not to say Apple is perfect in this regard (I'm thinking of the Podcasts app, as one example) But it's clear that Toyota along with the other old-guard auto manufacturers have somehow gotten lazy or can't get out of their own way.

It's nice to see fresh ideas come out of the likes of Tesla (manufacturing quality notwithstanding) and I'm looking forward to seeing what Apple comes up with.

I'm not, however, looking forward to that inevitable giant price tag.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Do you think it would be effective to segregate students by ability and/or motivation? That way you could let the motivated/interested/whatever students self-direct, and otherwise more efficiently spend your time with those who aren't self-motivated?
Everyone is integral to the company until they are not. Only founders and investors win at the end
That would be the point of a consumer union, to vote with feet en masse.
A few years back, I spotted two of these for $0.50 at the thrift store amongst all the outdated DSL modems and answering machines. My tech hoard was already large enough at that point so I made sure they worked, flashed the factory firmware, and turned around and sold them for $25 each on craigslist in under 24 hours. Easiest beer money I ever made.
The car initially was invented to be some kind of better horse carriage I think, just look at the design of the first one.

That does not mean we have to call cars "dead" just because people don't use them like horse carriages anymore.

Technology is repurposed all the time, what's the big deal?
So you're objecting to the general nature of headlines for the last 50+ years at least? I don't see what you thought was worth calling out, really.
Had to take anti-fungal drugs for a rash. They were crazier than the rash but got rid of it. They made my eczema flare up really badly, and I was insanely sensitive to sun exposure, which is apparently a quite common side effect. Anti-fungals really are no joke.

> I doubt they can reach Tesla level vertically integrated manufacturing capability without a similar culture.

Apple is not a manufacturing company. With their existing products, they are vertically integrated in _design_ from SOCs to the software.

I would expect to see a similar trajectory with the cars. They'll design a lot of the pieces, but won't manufacture any of it.
Because the 5th most valuable company today in America is a car company. Even if Apple Car can be 10% of Tesla that's worth 80 billion dollars.
Fracking profitability is going down because they aren't able to operate at as high of a capacity factor, because their operational costs aren't as low as renewables.
