this talk that christopher alexander did a number of years ago is quite interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98LdFA-_zfA one of the interesting things is that he had really moved on from "patterns" and was looking for something more intrinisic or "atomic" about design. Which actually is a much better guide to designing software.
Why would I pay money to make myself feel disgusted? I am not a masochist. I derive great pleasure and satisfaction from this. My stress levels are kept well below my friends who are desperate to find girls and have sex but are disgusted by sex workers. I have much lower anxiety around women in general too and I am able to communicate with them normally without the overwhelming need for sex.

I just believe that mouthwash and soap works. Been doing this for 5-6 years now and it only gets better as I get better at treating them better, being more relaxed which makes them more relaxed etc.

This is a great paper, really well explained. The source code: https://github.com/FPSG-UIUC/lotr

The TL;DR is that the L3 cache (LLC: Last Level Cache) is shared between all cores on the chip, but the L3 is composed of a number of slices colocated with each core: the L3 is actually CC-NUMA! There is contention when reading/writing to the L3 via the ring interconnect, which can be used to identify the memory addresses access patterns of the cache. There's a bit more covering how the L1/L2 caches, private to each core, are revealed via the set inclusivity properly of Intel's cache design.

In monitoring LLC it is similar to https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/898.pdf though it doesn't reference them.

It isn't a game over attack but it reinforces how sharing resources (cache, memory, cores) is a bad idea when that crosses a security boundary. VM exclusive cache regions (Intel CAT cache partitioning) and cache locking should help, but cache slice partitioning is reqd too.

Founders who do not understand programming and technology always everywhere, hence the separation of various technological platforms by non-technological people. Here is something wrong and HN helps here I think. HN allows to improve the knowledge between non-technical and technical people about each other. I hope HN will continue to improve overall communication and accelerate and improve the next Starship
Is starting FBA by Amazon still profitable/worth doing in 2021?
There are so many podcasts and blogs that talk about starting an Amazon business using Amazon FBA. I am wondering if it is still a profitable type of business? Some talk about making millions in such a business. I am wondering if this is true?

I found some e-commerce tools on ProductHunt that are helpful to me, and I would like to recommend them here.

That sentence is true but it's also kind of akin to "car popularity is declining as more people choose to use bicycles or trains" - bicycles and trains don't actually have much in common, and in many ways cars are more similar to either of them than they are to each other.
"It is completely immoral to give birth to people but not build them a place to live."

If you mean to say 'people have a moral right to live in the city they were born in' - fair enough - but this notion falls apart instantly unless you want to somehow give 'born and raised SF' kids some kind of literal non-market advantage.

If you live in an 'expensive place' then your kids can live there, as long as they are wealthy enough, that's the cost of living in a wealthy place and there's no way around it.

By 'building more to facilitate affordability' - well that certainly would enable more people to live there, but the demand will come from all over not just 'the kids of'.

SF is a small city and it's expensive, if parents want their kids to live there they can literally give them their homes. Otherwise, their kids can get good jobs or live in Santa Rosa.

There is plenty of space in North Cal.

Finally, SF residents can make up their own minds about how they want to do it. More building, less building, it's entirely up to them and nobody else's business.
I think this is also simply a thing of familiarization. It seems daunting at first, but at the end of the day the others are humans as well, have their flaws and don't have anything on either. Once you're used to communal showers or saunas it ceases to be a big deal, or at least it was for me.
This is important work. An effective non-toxic indoor mosquito control device will eliminate much suffering and death. Malaria prevents Africa from developing to middle-class societies with stable populations and functioning governments that are able to control environmental pollution. Therefore malaria indirectly affects all humans.

I think an effective indoor mosquito control system will detect mosquitos with microphones, aim with a zoom camera, and shoot mosquitoes with soapy water droplets.

Soapy water kills bugs. The soap eliminates water's surface tension. Once the bug touches the droplet, it sticks to it. As the bug struggles, it gets pulled inside the droplet. The water blocks respiration, causing the bug to suffocate. For manual insect killing, a spray bottle with soapy water is far better than an aerosol bottle of toxic chemicals or a laser.

Honestly, that would be amazing. It would enable a golden age of technological development. I think it's just a bit more far-fetched a near-term future than a single economic sector leaving a particular area, and not really directly comparable to Detroit's story.

> So it is layers and layers of redundancy, built on a mix of other platforms and also two he controls directly (email and rss)

Not really.

There is some kind of "channel" redundancy but no "revenue streams" diversification outside ads and patreon.

Without actually paying for content, one can usually find:

- google ads, low effort low reward
- brand sponsorships, high effort, fixed reward
- patreon subscriptions, high effort high reward
- tips and super chats and twitch
- sometimes brave BAT rewards
> You’ve just stated that you choose to rent. Your landlord is thus providing a service you value (adding to the economy).

The land existed before my landlord was alive. It's the equivalent of charging me to breath air because someone owns it.

>You are providing a service your tenants value. In your case, this may be mostly the assumption of risk - what if your tenants stop paying, and the government says you can’t evict? What if rental prices drop dramatically? Or real estate prices drop dramatically? What if your tenants move out and it takes X months to rent?

Sure you could say that I take on the risk, but that's also dependent on data. Historically for the last century the risk is highly minimal. I could also, If I wanted pay off the entire loan. Then there would be no risk. It would essentially become the economic equivalent of me charging people for breathing air that I own.

>You are still on the hook for your payments to the bank, and your equity and credit rating are at risk.

I can afford to pay on my own. Additionally I can sell the property at anytime as well. Of course there is still risk in depreciation but I already know the risk is minimal based off data.

>The bank lending you capital in exchange for interest (rent) is also providing you a valuable service - and you are providing a valuable service to them, giving them a return on their capital (with an acceptable risk of default).

Yeah, a service in exchange for what? For interest. Interest that I don't pay for. The exchange is more between the tenants and the bank and I function as a middle man leaching from the tenants. It is their blood sweat and tears that will be fronting the loan and the house that I will own.

>That’s the “invisible hand” of free market exchanges - each party gives what they value less to obtain what they value more, so both parties are better off (if they didn’t feel themselves to be better off, they would not make the exchange).

The invisible hand is an outdated concept. The world has moved beyond Adam Smith as the data shows that economic systems are far more complicated.

The current status quo belief argues that the average return on investment outpaces productivity-based income by a wide margin. So basically not only does owning property allow me to gain money from it without an ounce of work. But investments on all forms of capital from property to human capital is responsible for much of the wealth inequality that exists today.

Such capital ownership allows people to have incomes that far exceed what any one human individual is capable of generating through productive labor.
It absolutely amazes me that Google built an entire messaging platform inside this app. Why was that built?

I can only speak for Germany, but nudity is not seen as much of a big deal. Gyms in schools usually have communal changing rooms and it's not unusual to see naked people in movies, even in non-sexual manners. I guess it just never established as a big deal and the relative prevalence of nudity just carries on to the next generation.

I think people are confusing the notion of being a secretary and having sex with your boss with the idea that it is inherently wrong for superiors to use their workplace capital to exploit those who work under them. It is completely correct that the latter idea is exploitative; however, if a woman is a secretary and is also arranged to have sex with her boss via her job description, and she consents to this when accepting the job offer with full understanding of what her job entails -in effect being a fifty fifty secretary sex worker- then there is nothing wrong with this at all, quite self evidently. It would be consensual and in writing. If she is not coerced into the job, it is not exploitative.
The economic theory can say what it will, in most countries electricity would be so expensive that starting a business or even running a household would be really complicated.

From the little I've read on the topic, there are many good reasons to be skeptical of the 600,000 copy figure cited here.

This [0] article summarizes some of the debate.

At a high level, the number seems to be derived from Thomas Paine's assertions that he sold 120,000 copies in the first three months of Common Sense's release. However, Paine had no way to measure this number and likely didn't even have a way to reasonably estimate it.

The article mentions a historian that analyzed data from the time (number of known printings and maximum batch size for a print run): "Putting all this together–twenty-five printings at a maximum of 3,000 each (even though most print runs were probably much less), Loughran places the far upper limit at 75,000, but she thinks the true number was much less than that."

I don't know much about Gatto or Dumbing Us Down. However, I personally don't find this quote persuasive, given the uncertainty around the 600k figure.

To be fair, situations were the objector is listened to are non-events the public will never know of, so it is hard to know the true ratio.

I do agree that ethics seems to take a saddeningly low priority in most powerful leaders in the world, but there are some areas in society where this isn't the case: I remember reading a thread a little while ago here on HN about how seriously safety is taken in nuclear power and how anyone involved in the process can object.

> VM exclusive cache regions and cache locking should help, but cache slice partitioning is reqd too.

Note that in this instance the shared region is the bus used to access the cache. Reserving a cache region won't help with that. One would have to reserve time slices on the bus.
It's just randomness seeming like nonrandomness.

If it were part of the job description, there would be nothing wrong with being asked to serve coffee to management, no matter what your position is. If it is not in the job description, then it is generally inappropriate.
> what do we do as a society to improve some of these trends?

Well, HIV/AIDS seems relatively under control compared to when I was a young man, and there’s a vaccine for HPV, so get on out there, young blood!

Aversion to anonymous or even just casual sex for my generation (X) was from diseases. That seems like less of an issue now, but maybe the education system doesn’t want to let up on the risks yet, kind of like cities keeping us doing the recycling motions even when they’re throwing it in landfills - the behaviors are deemed valuable or the institutions just haven’t caught up to reality.

Probably your biggest issue as a generation is the freely available custom porn and social media alienating people from each other - there’s a lack of need to hook up and a self-inflicted lack of opportunity. Also, sensitivities to workplace hookups are a much bigger deal than they were even 15 years ago.

Interesting -- as a data point of one, I'm a New England skier and trail runner. Deep cold doesn't bother me, neither does the summer heat. In the depths of winter I ski every weekend in Northern NH, often in 0F, sometimes in -20F weather. I trail run and XC ski all winter in 0-15F temps. Never noticed any breathing issues. In the summer, I run in 95F heat -- you acclimate with the seasons.

I have a million years or more of evolutionary engineering in me. I think this is what I am built for.
Good Question. With video, anything that carries emotional content or where tone/intent can be misconstrued (e.g., gratitude, announcements, feedback, following up).

No I was talking about video on demand, if you try pretty much any other service for it none of them allows creators to upload drm free files for the user to download. Sure you can upload a file "drm free" to YouTube but it is not download able and there is put drm on them.

This is of course something that is unrelated to the greater discussion in this post, but it have been something I have found different on vimeo compared to elsewherein the past.
You don't really need a CPU to do that. Just operating system decisions.

a) route all hardware interrupts to CPU 0 only

b) when a user thread does a syscall, immediately task switch to another thread, marking the current thread as entering/in the kernel. Only service threads entering/in the kernel on CPU 0.

Technically, you need a little bit of ring 0 time to task switch. But if you make all of the syscalls amazingly slow, timing attacks are a lot harder.
at any rate to me it doesn't look that they are leaving youtube to get out from under google's oppressive thumb, but rather that they are trying to get more of the money by having their own distribution channel that serves their committed fans, and then release to youtube later for the less engaged user.

although I guess it is also a smart thing to still have something open if youtube suddenly decides to screw you over by algorithm.
