I see what you are saying, looking at our homepage, it's true, we talk feature-talk. We'll be addressing this.
You usually don't need to pay insurance or registration if you literally never use the car, as long as you have some private property to park it on.
That's the business model of grsecurity (selling security patches for the linux kernel). They have an additional clause that if you re-sell/re-release the patches, you lose access to future patches. It's controversial.

Must be nice to have that kind of support from management. Usually it's "what will $expensive_refactor bring to our clients, right now?"
Some of them do, actually. Like with a tiny crocodile image on a Crocodile-brand t-shirt, or I guess even subtler signs, at the higher end, like no brand name or logo at all - but some way of signalling the (expensive) brand, to those in the know. Maybe by the shade of color of the garment, or the cut, or some other sign. But they do :)
I don't know all the ways, I don't move in those circles, but have read about it. Human nature (like to show off, among other things) runs deep.

Edit: of course, some others really don't feel the need, being very secure in their eliteness, so they don't, as you say. And some others go to the opposite extreme of dressing down-market (so to speak), again as a signal that they can afford to do so.
The legacy media has spent the better part of the last decade trying to find a means to blunt the effect of the social media and probably two decades trying to blunt the effect of the internet as a whole.

So they go the route that should have been obvious

1) Declare a problem that threatens all
2) Spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt
3) State that they are the solution

Step two also involves using seemingly unrelated parties along with their own efforts to make it appear more of a problem than it otherwise would be. It is along the lines of when a group of politicians suddenly all use the same new word, a word they never used before and likely to never use again.

they had the public trust when the public did not know better and we have a very well established self checking system where nearly every false claim can be called out and usually is. I don't know of a legacy media brand that has not tarnished their name.

Social media is here to stay and while some may not like Facebook, Twitter, and similar, the legacy media and the politicians who rely on them to spread the news they desire look to muzzle all forms of communication they don't themselves control or influence.
100%. I first looked into it only for the mcpi thing because it intuitively reminded me of when I was a kid doing plot graphics in BASIC. The rest looked like silly laboriousness, like no thanks, I don't want to punch trees.

Fast forward to massive sprawling cities and worlds me and the kids have created, and also me insisting that sometimes we avoid "creative" because working for what you build and having there be danger and difficulty getting it built is more fun.

GitHub Deletes PoC Exploit Repo for Microsoft Exchange Vulnerabilities

I took a lot of different, mostly psychedelic RCs during my lifetime. Most 2c-x, some DOx, many tryptamines (4-,5- substitutes), AMT, nBOMes, 5-,6-APBs.

I was pretty careful. It was not often (1 time a month or less), no mixing stuff, no overheating or dehydration, and dosages reasonable.

Now (for several years) I feel burning sensation all over skin. Like intense sunburn, sometimes worse. Cannot be turned off, and no treatment helps. Opiates help somewhat, but you know that they are a problem in itself.

It is hard to tell if RCs are the reason, but considering this syndrome I have is not well researched and happens rarely, I suspect so.

I blame prohibition somewhat. I used RCs at first only bc I was not able to get normal drugs anywhere (for several years). I really recommend ppl to use LSD, mescaline and shrooms only.

Amphetamines, if you insist, b/c they are researched well.

Don't play with fire, you'll get burned and your life will be hell.

However, LSD, shrooms and maybe MDMA, if used responsibly, will make your life better and will make you a better person.

Can't read?
I'm going to assume, based on your outlook and name, you're a traditional value investor. I consider myself one too, and have read Margin of Safety, Buffet, and Intelligent Investor.

Companies north of 30x sales are generally overpriced, but that metric alone is still woefully inadequate to determine true NPV of future earnings. Software co's can afford higher P/S for their true value because of the unprecedentedly high margins they're able to achieve and reap as profit once operating expenses are managed. There's a reason BRK bought Snowflake. Amazon was still a great purchase in 2000 because what ultimately matters is the long term value. You can bet that you'll get more value by buying at a cheaper price later on, but that may ultimately never happen. Knowing that AMZN would be where it's at in 2021, buying it in 2000 is the right choice without 20/20 hindsight of market conditions. Same is true of high value companies like Cloudflare and Fastly. There may be interest rate increases or other reasons they become further discounted in the next 5 years. However there's more a chance that they're true value is adequately discovered while one stays on the sidelines. The margin of safety for them is great and of course we'll be free to see after a few plus years.

I also wouldn't bet on interest rates rising (or falling). Market consensus for their current price is usually pretty good and there are many reasons why interest rates are historically low and likely to remain roughly so.
What potential dangers do you see from getting this information?
The way to do this is to find non-domain specific tasks in these projects, and make useful contributions to the team - and slowly learning as you go along. Website, CI, benchmarking, helping out new users, pointing out unclear docs, writing a tutorial as you learn, etc. are all great ways to get involved.
Disclaimer: current/new Cisco employee, though I don't work anywhere near Webex.

Webex is... amusing, from an internal perspective. Partially because of the namespace collisions: Webex Teams, Webex Meetings, or Webex Trainings? I've run into all three, and all three are different.

As far as I can tell, Teams is supposed to be our Slack-adjacent/competitor. It works... fine. My previous corp had switched from Flowdock to Microsoft Teams, and M-Teams was truly, truly awful as a chat client. At least W-Teams behaves how I would expect a chat client to. (Though I dearly miss the full emoji reaction selection.) The media viewing behavior, or the group creation behavior (I can't just make an ad-hoc group chat between people, I have to create a 'space'--Why?!)

Webex Meetings seeeeeemmmsss to be just the realtime video component? The Zoom-adjacent/competitor? Teams integrates this on its own, so it's hard to tell sometimes. Broadly I think the Webex UI for calls looks/feels/behaves better than the Zoom equiv, and I have felt that the AV/screenshare quality is notably better than Zoom or Hangouts. But on Zoom I'd always bumble through the menus, or feel like I had a zillion buttons in front of me and didn't know what they did, or be annoyed with how to even create a meeting. (This last one is really counfounded for me, 'cuz the calls are integrated into Teams, so I never have to leave the chat client to make a call, which is likely not the case for other Webex users.)

Webex Training is... Hillariously frustrating. It feels like it hasn't been updated since inception (which looks like it was 2004). There are so many terrible, terrible UX decisions that the Cisco meeting facillitators call out every time they run up against. ("We're going to play a video, so everyone make sure you've muted yourself so the audio doesn't leak and that your laptop speakers are on so you can hear the video," or "We're going to forcibly unmute all of you so you can have control over your own mute/unmute <unintelligble hash of insane noise from all participants>", the mute/unmute/reaction buttons being impossible to find and CHANGING POSITION DEPENDING ON ROOM AUGH)

Anyway. Point is, I've felt similarly to the above, but only within specific Webex domains. I've really been meaning to find a Webex engineer to sit down and ask why this stuff hasn't been fixed, but I suspect I already know and the answer is the same as at my previous corp: Maintenance was de-prioritized, and now minor issues have become egregious, but it would require massive engineering effort to even begin solving them.... and those resources would be better spent on $Successor to get it fully up to spec to replace the aging/ailing incumbent. Meanwhile, the "modern" versions of Webex (Teams, Meetings?) seem to work well enough within the corporate boundaries that we don't feel the pressure. Doubly so because Cisco employees don't get the opportunity to see what life is like "on the other side of the fence" with Zoom/Slack/Flowdock/whatever--which, yay, dogfooding, but boo, lack of contrast.
Gate level sims would be sweet. Yosys has the CXXRTL backend that may nicely dovetail into this too.
Not true. Technology is making breakthroughs because that is what technology does. Solar and wind may not have moved along quite as fast but they would have moved along. We need nuclear for stability (as we don't have energy storage facilities that can handle extreme weather events for days or weeks) and we need solar and wind because who can afford to give up "free" energy that is there for the taking. Solar is the end goal (or fusion) of course but energy storage density at grid scale is decades off. There are several viable nuclear designs available now that can't go critical and are practical with just a little more work and government support.

Writing simply is certainly a great skill. It's like playing simply. You should be able to play an instrument without any vibrato or improvisation.

But that doesn't imply you always have to write simply. To often I've had friends who declare that writing in school is dumb and that we should always write simple and short. What's implicit in their view is that the text is not important, simply the message. The text should be merely a vehicle to convey the message.

I'd counter that the text is not extricable from the message. The form and style of the text colors the message and provides a signal of whom the author is speaking to and with what tone. I read a James Baldwin novel and I have the feeling of someone preaching to me with fervor and ferocity. I read a Paul Graham essay and I have the feeling of a drily funny, at times arrogant lecture. Like it or not, PG has a style that is his brand. It's a good brand, but to claim that it's purely simplicity is presumptuous.
What I should do: Go out and make some coffee or something else.

What I ended up doing: starring at the progress.
I vaguely understand that modern high performance rf chipsets are largely software defined anyway, which is why they require binary firmware blobs.

The modulations have gotten so complex that there's really no chance of a CPU or even a general purpose FPGA keeping up in real-time. Someone unencumbered by an NDA would need to be smart enough to design a specialty FPGA with the right sort of accelerators in silicon. They would also need to avoid any active patents.

Like pretty much anything, I imagine someone will figure it out for any given technology a decade or two after it's mostly obsolete.

It's pretty obvious to me too. That's not the point.

The essay makes a generic statement about the superiority of a particular, although loosely defined, writing style.

People debate the edge cases of that statement, showing its limits, and pointing to counter examples.

The result is that the content of the essay is reduced to a very banal statement of the type: "All other things being equal, prefer writing something simple rather than not simple." As an aesthetic preference, it's all well and good. As a persuasive argument, rather lacking. It "tries to prove too much."
URLs never change when doing A/B testing because that would break a lot of things.

Speaking as a Church member, we are often taught to not hate or mistreat anyone, that such is wrong -- in the scriptures, the Handbook and General Conference, repeatedly, long-term, clearly and consistently.

The two big tells for me are how hard people flip-flopped on Greenwald and how he has to 'defend' himself with his past accomplishments.

Leftist Twitter was a huge Greenwald fan when he was breaking the Snowden story. Then when he does something they don't like, suddenly he was just "handed the story" and people are acting like he was always a subpar alt-right grifter who just got to where he is by luck. "Bah, we never liked you anyways!" has the same feel as "We have always been at war with Eurasia!"

And yes, in their eyes, it doesn't matter if you're a gay reporter exposing government secrets and vocally supporting progressive candidates, if you wrote one article which could be seen as supporting Trump, you're out of the club, full stop. Years of progressive reporting don't matter once you've got the Black Mark.

This was a beautiful takedown, if a little bit overdramatic.
There's a strange romanticization of the BESM-6 in the West. I cringe when I read the "it took us 30 mins and them 1 min" anecdote - given that there are no comparables here beyond the vague result.* There's another similar one comparing BESM-6 to CDC6600 with the claim that if the former ran at the same clock speed as the latter, it'd be comparable. If a horse ran at Mach 2, it'd be comparable with an F-15.

*Who knows what crud code we were running on some IBM thing in what language, using what algorithm, to what level of precision? Or what the BESM-6 was running?

> newspaper colluding with government

Clever conspiracy seems less likely than sloppy stupidity. This didn’t need “collusion” for the same bad outcome.

”Collusion is a deceitful agreement or secret cooperation between two or more parties to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading or defrauding others of their legal right.”

In what way was NYT in a deceitful agreement or secret cooperation with the government to influence the country to go to the Iraq war?

NY Times has said, “The lead-up to the war in Iraq in 2003 was not the Times’s finest hour. Some of the news reporting was flawed, driven by outside agendas and lacking in needed skepticism. Many Op-Ed columns promoted the idea of a war that turned out to be both unfounded and disastrous.”

Media Matters covered this at the time, and also quoted Slate, attributing the collusion as between Bush administration and Chalabi, and NYT report Miller and Chalabi, with Chalabi as the common element:

“Chalabi is providing the Bush people with the information they need to support their political objectives with Iraq, and he is supplying the same material to Judy Miller. Chalabi tips her on something and then she goes to the White House, which has already heard the same thing from Chalabi, and she gets it corroborated by some insider she always describes as a 'senior administration official.' She also got the Pentagon to confirm things for her, which made sense, since they were working so closely with Chalabi.”

https://www.mediamatters.org/new-york-times/how-iraq-war-sti...

This is not saying Miller colluded with the White House, but that the method of corroboration was flawed, as both paper and government were relying on the same (false) source such that fake news checked out.

Insufficient skepticism of a very high ranking source is not the same thing as collusion with another party also over-reliant on the same source. And journos protecting a source or CIA keeping a source secret are also not secret cooperation. The result is the same for similar reasons, you want future sources to be willing to share, but this doesn’t imply collusion.

TL;DR: Hanlon’s Razor: “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". Most “conspiracies” are probably just people being coincidentally dumb, incompetent, or lazy.

It is amazing how journalists from mayor outlets and even institutions have so much contempt for independent substack journalists. They think it's beneath them because somehow only working for those outlets gives their reporting legitimacy and a form of entitlement to publish therefor they try to demonize substack and delegitimize its writers because they are independent. I saw it being labeled as "onlyfans for journalists". That's mostly coming from mediocre journalists who probably secretly envy substack writers for their huge profile.

Thanks Don and Phil for the great answer. Some further comments:

* I find interesting that you are getting better correlations when you add a well-known noise burst instead of a less chaotic signal (e.g. a tone or a chirp). In retrospect, it makes sense

* for the uplink/downlink breakup, I see in the Usage.md file in oboetester that you're isolating the downlink measurement with the tap-to-tone experiment. For this experiment, the doc suggests to use (a) the jack to avoid the speaker processing extra latency, and (b) a USB-MIDI input device to replace the touch screen latency (15-30 ms).

2 questions here:

* Q1: I assume that, if instead of the jack, you use a usb-c audio adapter accessory mode, there should be no extra latency either, right? (I'm using late pixel phones)

* Q2: which device are you using for the USB-MIDI input?

Thanks again!

I’m sort of saying two things, that’s what I get for playing devils advocate.

That’s how they’re getting away with it, by not interrupting content. I don’t think the masses are bothered by ads unless it interrupts their subscription content. If you put an ad on their App Store, it’s going to feel like another ad they just ignore.

For people who aren’t running an ad blocker, the ads become invisible unless they matter to them. It’s a weird trick but everyone can do it. That’s why people aren’t so bothered by the ad tech intrusions, they’re not even paying attention.

If that ever interrupts paid content, people will complain. But if you put it on the App Store, a little banner ad, it’s gonna be ignored, like it’s happening now.
