I agree we should hold police accountable, which is why I voted for whatever the BLM protestors asked for in my city of Portland. When they protested, I supported them. When they harassed mayor wheeler, I supported them.

When they started destroying local businesses, I didn't support them. I posted once on my next door to please let's all remain peaceful and stop the destruction of local small businesses, and was met with immediate condemnations of being racist. I got so many hate messages, despite being brown myself, that I eventually left next door, out of fear of doxxing.

When BLM then went and tagged Pelosi and McConnell's homes, I cheered them on. I don't mind seeing people harass politicians. I just don't want them destroying private citizen's stuff, or killing them when they defend it.

And I don't read Breitbart. I read Mother Jones and the New Yorker, and sometimes I read Breitbart when left wing people get outraged by their articles.
You have no honor as a person and as an employee. And even worse, terrible problem solving skills. Did it occur to you the people you thought your fisting could have just replicated the same abuse elsewhere? Why not officially report them so they could have been on the book for these transgressions industry-wide? How was not quitting the shitty job on top of your list here?

I agree with your assessment of Intel's role in US national security, though Texas Instruments also owns and operates chip fabs in the US [1]. They most likely aren't as sophisticated as Intel or able to create similar chips, but Intel most likely isn't the only source of chips in the US.

I use Fossil-SCM for that. 100% OSS, it's a single Sqlite DB file for backups, etc. It's totally fine being offline or online and totally fine being de-synchronized for years and catching up.

I put my legal and financial info on a USB stick with the fossil binaries every year, and hand them out to next of kin. Whenever I die they just plug in the USB and click the appropriate fossil binary and bam, they get everything with a web interface, files and wiki with instructions included.
For my group it was mumble's voice normalisation and the inability to boost or lower the volume of individual users.
In their heart of hearts everyone knows that is just BS. It's garbage we say because we'd rather ignore how hard it is to be human and how lacking our search for answers is. In your heart of hearts, you know if something major happened to someone you care about you'd never bring up that tripe. If your daughter got raped, you would never say "sweety it's not the fact that you got raped, it's how you react to it that matters."
Intel has been bleeding engineers to other firms for a while now, and new talent has been skipping them altogether. These are not good developments for a company that depends on brain power to make their products.

Is there any reason why this growth potential still exists for smaller companies? We're in a thread about how large companies are able to undercut smaller competitors.
Yeah. Just last year I had to teach neighbours and such to use a launcher like Evie which lets you hide apps. Many were stopped during random street checks and that saved their Turkey. Heh.

8 months or so ago I was stooped because it looked like I was "recording a video" on my phone when actually I was. Took a slow turn, double press power button and pickachu face that I wasnt. Still a couple guys around helped or I was history.

No. I havent read Rushdie. It has that whole demon verse thing around him, he isnt liked

The problem with telegram as with WhatsApp and signal is phone numbers. India has had this network analyzer on isp level for like 6-7 years, called "netra". So all unencrypted traffic goes through it. Same for all encrypted traffic. This is the reason why I stopped using tor, because my traffic would show up uniquely than rest and that gets them suspicious quickly.

There is a lot of text written on the conflict which actually is more than 500 years old. Kashmir has been under foreign oppressive occupation for over 500 years constantly and even today is under 3 nations. Its not like the occupation wont affect the people.

I am trying to get people I know on matrix because there is no PII, waiting for dendrite to come out of beta so that I can set up my own server and such.

> IIRC that was Snowden’s claim too and he worked on it

Snowden did not work on PRISM, nor did he ever claim to. He had failed a test necessary to even see data collected under Section 702, so he couldn't so much as see the data that PRISM ingested. https://www.vice.com/en/article/mb9mza/exclusive-snowden-tri...

> and the claim is that the data can be requested as long as the individual is suspected, which can be for something as frivolous as a ML look-alike match on traffic patterns.

No. It goes through the normal court order process where the company will push back if it isn't legit. Section 702 court orders can only request data for non-Americans outside the US, and the company that gets the order will have a good idea of whether this is true for a particular account.

> Also the key piece of the reporting was on the abuse of the Patriot’s act.

The only illegal US program that they exposed was phone metadata collection. The pair of illiterates thought that PRISM was something supremely sinister (that anybody with the most rudimentary computing and reading skills can easily figure out it isn't), so they hyped that story a lot. People corrected Greenwald on Twitter on day one, but it took years for him to understand how much he botched that story, and his ego prevented him from issuing a correction. Instead, he just stopped talking about it and now only ever mentions phone metadata. https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-case-for-a-pardon-of-ed...
Or pick a host that that doesn’t care. They exist both in America and abroad. If Gab and 8kun can stay up, so can Parler.

They planned poorly, that’s their fault.
I see you point but I think you miss something. Stocism was based on the idea that a human being is always part of a society and as such they have sn obligation to work as good citizens.

Therefore no, even if something more effective than wine had been available at the time, I do not think "taking drugs to feel happy/satisfied/virtuous" would be advisable.

Being virtuous was "being a virtuous citizen"; no matter if you were a slave or an Emperor. If anything they tried to teach you not to care about the conditions you were in (rich, poor, young, old...) and focus on the outcomes only.

In my personal opinion:

- Increase immigration. Especially from China and India.
- Figure a way out to clip the wings of EU while keeping the free trade and open EU borders intact. EU's unelectable government servants are bringing immense harm.

As much as I'd like to believe it was just an oversight, how do you accidentally have your services bypass the firewall? That feels like it would have to be a deliberate choice under the assumption that "our apps are signed by us, and the OS verifies that, so all traffic through these apps should be OK, right?" I don't mean this snarkily; it's a genuine question. I don't know how OSes work.
> explicit loops makes it very clear when something's up.

Disagree. Explicit loops hide the essence of what's happening beneath a pile of ceremony. It's easier to spot accidentally O(n^2) code in map-style code where it's a lot clearer what the code's doing.
They way signal thinks is, you either are full first party or full ex communicado. You need to set up everything of your own
It’s extremely app-dependent. For example, lots of heavy analytics, data crunching type apps can easily have multi-second (or longer) backend requests. For these, the BE tends to dominate perf issues.

However, for your standard CRUD type app, honestly round trips of 100-200 ms for backend requests are really common/standard. On the FE, loading and evaluating big JS bundles, rendering, etc., can be way slower. For CRUD apps I’ve worked on, perf issues on the FE have been more common than on the BE. Especially with the common React/Redux stack, it’s very easy to make perforce mistakes and end up with a lot of unnecessary component updates when things aren’t really changing.
Nice work Max!
This just puts into perspective how stagnate cpus have been, ~14 years and we are just starting to move to more than 4 core processors on prosumer systems.
Frankly you're way too biased for your opinion regarding this specific issue to have much legitimacy.
AOSP (Vanilla, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS) doesn't have this capability.

The Google Play Services app/package? Heh...
Google Drive also "works perfectly, across any device/OS and never fails, never breaks, and is extremely fast (insanely fast)."

I wasn't aware that VS Code was "proprietary malware"? All the code for that is right on GitHub.[0] If you don't trust the prebuilt ones, you're free to build it from the source yourself.

Want something else? Their GitHub repo list has almost 4000 repositories totaling 130 pages![1]

Just because the OS itself isn't open source[a] doesn't mean that Microsoft doesn't open source a whole crap ton of stuff. And sure, Window's telemetry can easily be construed as "malware", but Windows is not the entirety of Microsoft.

[a]: And that's a lie too (sortove). It is open source.[2] (ahem source available (sorry, FSF)) You just need a valid reason to look at it besides "I want to". Sidenote: I personally would hope that Windows gets open sourced, but I'm not holding my breath.

P.S. Can we not use the "M$" moniker? It's almost childish. Just like "Crapple", "Microshit", etc, It serves no purpose.
This article is scant on details and borderline apocryphal. Can you explain what the takeaway should be here?

Edit: or why this submission is in your bio? Oh, you're just gaming clicks for your blog.
There are a lot of owners who previously changed it themselves out of warranty. I assume they could get a refund now?

One complication is that there were various reasons to upgrade, not just eMMC failure.

I've been a fan for much the same time period yet never owned an AMD powered device, except maybe a game console? AMD has been useful to keep Intel on top of their game, but Intel has been on top for most of the last 15 years give or take.

》At a daily cycle usage rate of 1.4 per block, accumulation of 3,000 P/E cycles would take only 5 to 6 years, the agency said.

Designed lifetime of Tesla cars is about 6 years. After that parts like batteries start failing and need expensive replacement. There is no after market for parts and no second hand market.

Normal car with basic maintenance lasts about 15-20 years.

How is Tesla more "ecological" again?
This is a pretty simple topic if you have a good understanding of what enabled developers to pull in large comps, and what kinds of employers pay such comps. I comment on comp threads on HN frequently and don't want to rehash my entire advice, but I can illustrate one example that can be generalized to Europe and America.

Consider two hypothetical employers:

Employer 1:
- We want to hire only the best.
- We expect people to care about the company and act like owners.
- We expect people to flex in and out of different roles.
- We fire underperformers.

Employer 2:
- We state exact technical qualifications for our roles.
- We hire anyone who adequately meets the qualifications.
- We don't expect people to do anything not in the job description.
- We don't expect people to care about the company, it's just a job.
- We never fire anyone.

I hope it's clear that you can make a lot more money at #1 than #2. #1 may be a FAANG and #2 may be your state's Motor Vehicles department. I also hope it's clear that #2 sounds very mainstream European in its attitude towards work while #1 oozes American exceptionalism.

In short, there's no way to raise comp without employers competing for talent but that would basically mean a complete change in employer/employee expectations.

So what happens to European developers who are good/aggressive enough to work for a place like #1? They find it in London and New York.

For what it's worth I am a dual EU/US citizen living in NYC, and my previous job took me a lot to our London office which was primarily staffed with European developers who left Europe exactly for the reasons I described.
Never heard of Dendron before.
Just looked at their site and it's basically the same exact tool as Foam here. I wonder if they're related?

As someone who believes that Tesla will come to strongly dominate this industry, I'm happy that the regulators in charge have done their job, and worry that conceding to this kind of pressure would lead to lax controls on automotive product lifetimes.

Sure, today, it's a generous 8 yr / 100k mile warranty voluntarily extended, but I can easily imagine a scenario where Tesla (or whoever else is large) has bean counters that figure out most of these parts will fail 2 years and a day from now, so throw 2 years as a cheap means to appease owners.

In fact, many auto manufacturers today (and historically) have not covered technical defects in electronics as well as they should, in my opinion. I would argue for greater regulatory enforcement on this front. "Bumper-to-bumper" is not the same as "bumper-to-bumper-but-not-the-silicon-bits", and it can be a meaningful and large difference in the total cost of ownership of a vehicle that is increasingly focused on "the-silicon-bits".

If this stays a purely proactive measure that adds to the Tesla experience, I'm all for it, but I really hope regulators continue to hold their ground without ceding to the industry pressure of "we'll self-regulate because we have the best data on individual component failures and can provide a better customer experience around it than recalls."
I recently received a copy of The Ashley Book of Knots and it has a fascinating narrative on the origins of the different knots intertwined with great illustrations. Apparently whalers were considered the upper echelon of seaman compared to their brethren that were pressed into service. Whalers had access to a lot more rope for leisurely activities (knotting).
$2000 x 8.4 million residents would be nearly 20% of the NYC's budget is why.
Somebody should write a book like the original "Programming Pearls" for weird hacks and anecdotes like the author's. Pretty fun stuff.
I don’t live with regret but sometimes I do wonder why I spent so much of my career not chasing those sweet stock options or doing the (relatively small) studying to get into a FAANG

It feels like a cheat code to retirement.

Anyways, no regrets ;)
GDrive has no SmartSync for ‘regular’ users and 3rd party solutions have quirks.

* Insync adds xml suffix to files with xml contents.

* Expandrive borks file editing sometimes (happened twice - it was enough to move to Dropbox)

I still use Google Consumer Storage though, thanks to Google Photos. Can’t get rid of it, nothing better feature, simplicity and maintenance wise.
With the new outback, it's whack how it takes around 5 seconds of staring at the touchscreen to accomplish acts like turning off the heated seats. In most cars you don't have to take your eyes off the road to do that

Numerous cases of encoding out of band data as a special case of in-band data.
I worked in the legal cannabis industry in the US for several years. While I’m sure organized crime has inroads, you’re wildly overstating it. The “cartels” running the legal market are well funded real estate and tech operators with a reputation that precedes them.
I was a pretty early user of dropbox. One of things I used dropbox for was storing some of my college homework assignments.

I estimate that these assignments occupied ~10 megabytes at most.

Dropbox deleted my stored files due to account inactivity. Yes, they sent me an email (to a email I do not actively monitor anymore) saying they would do so.

Storing 2GB worth of files on S3 Glacier for 20 years would have cost dropbox less than 2 dollars.

They lost me as a customer for life, and do not deserve sympathy.
You can get that in 5 drives from best buy these days. Not exactly a huge leap for cloud storage.
I recently got a Tesla, so maybe it just takes getting used to, but I miss tactile controls.

I think a row of knobs along the bottom edge that correspond to the buttons/icons directly above would be the best of both worlds: flexibility of software-defined controls (except the number/spacing becomes fixed), with the tactility of real knobs.
Explain to me the good decisions that go into one’s parents being preferentially offered mortgages at favorable rates because of their zip code or skin color?

I would never tear someone down for hard work or taking risks — but some financial factors aren’t equitably replicable. We should be honest about what influences people can and can’t have on their outcomes. Not all success is privilege, but not all success is earned, either.

I don’t think it’s fair to represent efforts to improve equity in our society as “beating successful people down until everyone is poor”
Because NYC cannot deficit spend or unilaterally issue good taxes like the federal government can.

The real question is why doesn't NYC create its own local currency to skirt those restriction.
Anything on f-droid is going to be good. Last time this story came up I saw a comment saying there was two prominent apps there.

It's scary how many people don't immediately go for the open source alternative before checking the Google play store. Most people publishing on f-droid use their real name, have verifiable open source activity, have a professional reputation to maintain and have their apps open to world to be scrutinised.

Checking F-Droid should be your first choice everytime.
eMMC storage devices can provide a plethora of usage information to the eMMC controller such as read/write counters but also number of blocks of flash that have failed so far. After you hit a number of failed blocks the device could then send the notification to the user that failure is nearing. If you are curious this link expands a bit more on how this could work

There is no way the USG will let Intel fail.
> positive move that would improve security

That they purposefully added in the first place to let only Apple apps bypass third-party firewalls?
Apple II? I'm talking about things like VS6 vs modern VS. Even when performing the same tasks, which means modern VS has no reason to be doing more work than VS6, the modern one is less responsive. There are several videos on youtube demonstrating the dramatic difference.
There’s no way to know the future trends as they get invented within the large corporations and only time can show us what they are going to be. Agree?:) Well, there’s a way to know what the current tendencies are and try to make predictions based on this knowledge.
I made extensive research on what is trending in UI/UX design nowadays, interviewed a number of experienced designers, analyzed what’s hot on Awwwards, Dribbble, and other similar platforms, as well as examined what’s going on on the websites of the said large corporations, and tried to imagine how 2020 might’ve impacted the field. It was exciting to prepare this write-up, so I hope it would also be of use to anyone who’s interested in this changeable but captivating subject.
How do you come to this conclusion from the article? Or is it just an attempt to discredit Go?
My intuition tells me that you are heading downhill and my experience tells me that the projected outcome will cause you untold additional suffering.

Whether or not you should take the museum job you can only determine by getting an interview, but I think it's clear that something about your current setup has to change significantly, and none of us want that to be preceded by a major breakdown.
Fascinating, and also troubling (Leviathan...that makes too much sense). A counter point to that is the intriguing and optimistic Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman [0] that I am finishing now. It certainly has it faults, especially as a scientist taking a critical view of some of the research, but the overall message of humans being more kind than not I think is well established. (I heard about the author and book from this [1] interview on a podcast.)

Significantly less the the energy it takes to cool current processors. Nearly five years ago I was talking to a professor who was at a conference on the future of computing and there were folks there from the big 5 and he said that all of them had done the math on how much it cost to run their data centers vs run the cooling for cryogenic super conducting computers, and they all concluded that it was vastly cheaper to run at cryogenic temperatures, at least in part because they would drop the cost of running the cpus essentially to zero because they would all be superconducting.
I would also like a report/postmortem. I think we are unlikely to get one however, at least not anytime soon.
How did you find out it wasn't the original? I didn't realize bitcoin magazine did that.

The quotes in the title should be around "world's largest" only (since they're about the inability to fully know what's happening on the dark web)
No, and there never will be. It's not the execution of 32bit code that's the problem (you can trivially re-enable that with a kernel flag, if you want), but rather the removal of every 32bit library from the OS. Without those libraries, apps won't run.

You can sometimes get away with copying a handful of individual frameworks from older versions of macOS to newer ones, (I recently got Mountain Lion's QuickTime to work on Mavericks this way), but for so many libraries, many of which operate at a low level, it's just not going to happen!

Mojave is still a perfectly fine OS for a while longer. And you can of course use virtual machines, although personally I'd probably opt for dual booting if it really came to that.
One clarification, VS Code does have closed-source components, like the python extension and remoting.
