Police do choose whether and what resources to devote to investigation

... and when the DA publishes a policy directive of non-prosecution of property crime, like in SF, police stop spending resources there. It's a catch-22.
The general "danger" of old videos comes more from people digging up what was said and causing a shitstorm because of it, rather than Youtube themselves going out of their way to delete channels because of old videos.

if the idea kicks off, instead of spamming packets directly at their targets: kiddies will switch to feeding cloud-fail2ban with their target's IP addresses

As far back as the 2000's, kids knew to keep their IP addresses secret. There are plenty of real-time game server architectures where no game client knows the IP address of another game client. This might not be feasible for very fast paced FPS games, for example, but that's only one particular use case.

I suspect we could significantly raise the bar to DDOS something like 80% of all websites/apps/servers -- at least to the level where random kids or even random middle class adults would think about it because they had a bad day.
That was a blast! I'll echo the sentiment that the pieces were hard to differentiate, but the aesthetic was awesome.

If you do the development work to support hot protocol of the moment X, chances are in 18 months nobody cares because either (a) now X is old news and nobody uses that any more or (b) X+1 came out, it's incompatible and you'd have to do the work again for it to be useful.

If an enterprise customer will pay $$$ to support X this can still make financial sense, but Cloudflare's non-enterprise customers aren't paying $$$.

Minecraft is apparently not going anywhere, it's still very popular a decade after release. And my understanding is that the protocol is fundamentally the same as ever. So, you do that work once, and then you've got a free proof of concept apparently forever.
Exactly. My company’s first product is niche enough that it will never scale to the stratosphere... but my goals for it were explicitly:

1) To provide a steady enough stream of income that I don’t have to go back to a “real job”.

2) To do so while allowing me to spend some time developing my next product (with better scaling characteristics.)

It’s doing both of these so I consider it a total win, despite me still not owning a private island.

I was first exposed to RPN around 1963. It was a game my aunt gave me as a present. I wish I could remember the name of the game. Players rolled dice that had logical operators and perhaps quantifiers on the faces of the dice. The goal was to construct valid logical expressions using RPN. Even for a kid that was nuts about math, the game wasn’t that interesting. Does anyone remember what I’m talking about? I’m not sure of the year, but I think there might have been ads for the game in the magazines I read, like Popular Electronics or Scientific American.
But a corporate player or players can deploy a lot of devices that individually comply and eat up a lot of the available bandwidth, making personal applications like Wifi less functional. And moreover: once there’s a financial incentive to do this (which really resilient mesh networks will provide) the financial incentives to use this bandwidth may be much greater than they have been historically, and saying “well it hasn’t happened yet so it won’t be a problem” offers very little predictive value. This is my concern, and I am open to being convinced that the regulations in place will prevent this. So far none of the comments in this thread have given me a convincing reason not to worry, though it’s helpful that someone actually posted the (individual device) transmission limits.

Using srand(0) as in your gist; changing int8_t to char ; using int for sum:

Your code is getting ~18-19GB/s read bandwidth compared to roughly ~21GB/s for my code.

I wonder how much of that is due to interleaved summing vs not compared to AVX512 vs AVX2.

A free society necessarily must permit some degree of what could be considered vigilantism - even if the vigilantism is intended to restrict someone or something else's freedom in some way. I'd call this the "meta-paradox of tolerance".

The difference in degree you mention is the boundary between legally (and sometimes morally) acceptable and unacceptable forms of vigilantism.
> What I _have_ seen people get (correctly) called a transphobe for is the opinion "Transgender women should not be in women's sports because they are men."

Arguing that women should be excluded from women's sport is untenable. The respectful position isn't "trans women are a special type of women where they get the pronoun but none of the privileges". It is "you're a woman".

The Fed's statistics show just how big this disparity is:

Black and Hispanic families have considerably less wealth than White families. Black families' median and mean wealth is less than 15 percent that of White families, at $24,100 and $142,500, respectively."

I think Boeing is just in the too-big-to-let-fail group-- especially if we enter a post-pandemic world on a rebound. The US wouldn't let such a key company fall -- especially as China pushes their competing airplanes.

A US-crash, I think, would push greater scrutiny and overhaul of the FAA. Boeing could shift some of the blame to them. And they could actually benefit in the long run (as terrible as that is.)
The lottery is a choice. No one is forcing anyone to play. People are going to gamble though, so the state might as well take a cut as a way to discourage it.
Ferromagnetic materials have a hysteresis, a stickyness to their field... materials with large hysteresis are used to make permanent magnets, and those with very low hysteresis are best for transformer cores, because each transition through hysteresis represents loss. All cores have it, it is an engineering optimization to choose a "hard" (high hysteresis) or "soft" magnetic material.

If you want to store a bit, as in core memory, or magnetic logic, you'd use a "hard" material. It is likely the cores in the TROS module were "soft".

If the hysteresis is low enough, even the normal atomic motion due to heat can cause the field to dissipate over time.

Your suspicion is correct.

FAA rules require on all planes that the control stick takes more and more pressure to pull back as the plane approaches stall.

The 737 MAX doesn't meet this requirement, apparently it gets easier to pull the stick back as it approaches stall due to engine nacelles. This is what MCAS fixes, as the plane approaches stall, it adjusts trim to provide that extra back-pressure on the stick.

No amount of additional pilot training will allow the plane to fly without MCAS, because this is a hard rule and it's not certifiable without it.
I may gladly pay exactly for absence of ads, explicitly stated.

This works for majority of mobile apps. This works on YouTube. People are conditioned to expect such an option.

Cats may be too socially clueless to be loyal, study finds
"While dog lovers may rejoice at the chance for another study suggesting dogs are more loyal than cats, the conclusion is not that simple. It might not be that cats are disloyal; rather, they may be too socially clueless to understand when someone is not being nice to their owners, according to the new study, which was published in the February issue of the journal Animal Behavior and Cognition.

For the study, a group of researchers from Kyoto University in Japan tested the loyalty of domestic cats by adapting a technique previously used on dogs. The experiment involved a container, 36 domestic cats (13 were house cats and 23 lived in cat cafés) and their owners."

Think of it as approaching the topic from the other side. It is very analogous to what security researchers to.

Consider things like the incompleteness theorem, and how there will always be gaps in our implementation of a given epistemology, in this case computer science, hoping to achieve a given end.

Researchers then look at that output while entirely blind, and then they work backwards, and they can sometimes uncover very useful insights that the original creators may have been blind to.

> Of course, but that's because our gut is directly connected to the brain.

Along with the rest of the body; and note that we can’t treat autism by altering just the brain or the signals sent between the brain and the gut—we have to resort to introducing changes in the gut. To me it looks like a strong indicator that given current level of progress for medical purposes we ethically cannot assign personality and consciousness to any particular part of the body (including the brain).

> Hardcore embodiment people will tell you that you're literally thinking with your gut.

…and while I don’t quite identify with that position, we can’t deny they may be partially right until we exclude that possibility. We haven’t definitively concluded what consciousness is and where it arises.

Many people gravitate towards visualizing thought and consciousness as happening fully in the brain, but it’s not the only way of visualization—and perhaps neither is it even the most optimal: if gut microbiota affects us so much, doesn’t it make sense to include the gut into the feeling of “mind’s I”? Where then to draw the line?

> I'd say it's essentially what we're doing already. We know e.g. hormone treatment as part of sex reassignment causes changes to the brain and definitely influences personality.

For a while I’ve been thinking about continuity, and how it might be among the key puzzle pieces of consciousness. A sex reassignment brings a somewhat fast but still gradual change, while getting a body replacement may not be very different from a death from insider’s view: you go under anaesthesia; but is there a you that wakes up?

But then I guess should we be concerned with that “insider’s view”? What is that insider and does it even exist? (I know this is getting into the territory of the Star Trek Transporter thought experiment and the like, but that it’s easy to end up there might also hint at an insufficient level of knowledge we have about consciousness.)

That is being backfilled in; Vec already implements it on nightly, IIRC.

And really, what you're talking about here is "the standard library data structures," which aren't super likely to be used in firmware anyway. It's a lot easier for ecosystem data structures to add support, after all, they already would choose to call the global allocator, so now they can do either. And it is much easier for them to cut backwards-incompatible changes, if they have to.

Surely the issue is that Vimeo doesn't have Google's adtech behemoth behind it, so either the creator or the audience has to pay for hosting, rather than it being paid for by advertising.

Peertube seems perhaps a more credible competitor in that sense, by making hosting cheaper. As long as the creators can fund themselves with Patreon, merchandise or whatever else.
This discoverability on vimeo is poor to terrible.

Youtube feeds me a diet of videos that are hard to turn off, spanning literal decades and with some really weird stuff thrown in (and based on the comments, others have same experience - I'll be on a 10 year old video with positive comments from a day ago).

That means on their most difficult time? You are not thinking this well at all. Maybe the person corrupt was just one member who ran away, maybe the "corruption" was simply an unwise investment, maybe they were scammed by a third part, maybe they dont agree with you on the nature of the investment(say raising the minimum wage of their employees to 15 USD/h).
Disagree. "Trans women are men", in a similar vein to using he/his to refer to trans women, is a tactic used by bigots to indicate that they believe trans women are not "real women" and should be universally treated by society as men.

When writing my comment I don't want to have to insert several sentences explaining the nuance that I understand and respect the gender of trans women, but that this is one of those rare cases where we might need to treat them as their biological sex, because that is what determines things about their physical body, and their physical body is what matters right now. As such, I intentionally avoid vague phrases commonly used by transphobes today.

“Soon, the mobile phones for which we are now paying $40 US per month or more may work for practically no cost. Won't it be interesting to watch our widely-hated wireless telecommunication companies struggle to stay in business?”

Competing using a shared chunk of 900Mhz? Not likely. 5G uses millimeter bands (20Ghz to 60Ghz) that provide up to 20Gbps of bandwidth. A public shared scheme using 900Mhz isn’t going to compete with that.

Spectrum is the pipe and whoever has the biggest pipes wins. It’s a bit like telling the public they can compete with an oil pipeline using a shared straw.
I had one. I loved it, even though I was too young to "get" coding on it. It was the arrival of Spectrum that got me in to coding.

That being said, when I got my Spectrum I taped my ZX81 to the handlebars of my bike because I thought it looked cool. I crashed in to a lamp post whilst pretending to type on it.
Thanks for both of those tips, and totally understand the concerns that come along with it. Will push a fix right now!
> complex

Here's the procedure:

1. trim back to normal with the electric trim switches

2. turn off the stab trim system.

It simply is not complicated.

> muscle forces you don't have

Turning two electrical switches?

> counterintuitive

That's debatable, but consider that much of flying is counterintuitive - for example, stall recovery. Humans have not evolved to fly, and do not have the right intuition about it. That's why pilots get extensive training.

Keep in mind that all three crews experiencing MCAS failure used the electric trim switches to trim it back to normal. One of them then turned it off, the surviving crew.

On the plus side, finally, after maybe a hundred articles about the 737MAX, the paper finally acknowledged that the pilots did not follow the emergency procedure. Progress.

I did not absolve Boeing's role in the crashes.

Hahaha, no. Well done UC, and goodbye Elsevier.
Fair enough, but the reason they are being excluded from women's sport is because they are not seen as truly women. If they were indistinguishable from women, there would be no way to exclude them without excluding all women. So as soon as we have this discussion, we have to admit there is a difference between a transgender woman and a woman.

It may be a bit clumsy to refer to them as men, but that is actually the basis of why they are being excluded, because of their "man-ness". That's the underlying reason. I don't think it's transphobic to discuss that openly or to invent an explanation relying on "testosterone".
