> “good, but I have a billing issue"

I think this gets exactly to it, but I don’t agree with the rest of your comment.

In both the provided examples, the fact that there's a request for actionable information is already implicitly understood based on the situation. When a doctor comes into your room, you already know they're checking on your condition. The "How are you?" is just general greeting (to which, in casual situations, the proper response is "Fine, and you?").

And this is the crux of the misunderstanding. The Russian takes it as a request for information when it isn't.

*Edit*: A YouTube video pulled from another comment in this thread that explains what I was trying to say much better: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eGnH0KAXhCw&feature=youtu.be

There are a couple reasons it's a scam. First, they've apparently overstated their relevant credentials. Claiming nine years of experience in something they don't have any professional experience in is a scam. I wouldn't open a restaurant and claim decades of cooking experience when my experience is just cooking for myself at home.

Second, and more importantly, it's a scam because they are charging money for something that they have no viable path to delivering the thing people paid for.
>From the ship's reference frame, Earth is in the past; from Earth's reference frame, the ship is in the past.

no. The "when it's 6:00 on the spaceship, it's 3:36 on Earth" doesn't mean "From the ship's reference frame, Earth is in the past". It is just different speed of time. The 3:36 of "slow time" isn't "less" than ("past" of) the 6:00 of "fast time". Say you have 2 clocks, and took one on a spaceship ride. When brought back it will be showing say 6 why the twin clock which didn't left the Earth would be showing 10 - the ship clock wouldn't be in the "past" as both clocks are on the table in front of you in the "present".

The problem isn't RowHammer, the problem is lack of ECC. This is mostly Intel's fault, as they cripple their consumer CPU lines to disable ECC for market segmentation purposes.

The entire premise that we can store tens of gigabytes of information reliably in tiny silicon capacitors without any error detection or correction whatsoever is ludicrous. Every other storage technology uses advanced error correction - NAND Flash, HDDs, optical media, etc. We've been doing this for decades. Even floppies at least had error detection (checksums). All high speed transmission protocols also do error detection and re-transmission, except HDMI (because I guess nobody cares about the odd corrupted pixel). Same for anything going over radio.

Once you have ECC, your error rate margin goes up by many orders of magnitude. Worst case these attacks turn into a DoS as ECC fails to correct a badly corrupted word, and most of the time it will just work. Plus you can detect attack attempts as the memory controller will report increased error rates.

It's not possible to design modern RAM that is perfectly reliable. That's just physics. We know how to solve this problem. We just aren't doing it because Intel thinks consumers don't deserve reliable RAM. The only other option is doing ECC on-chip in the RAM itself, and that has other efficiency trade-offs which probably make it not worth it, at least not with DDR style interfaces (it might've made sense in an FB-DIMM style world where the memory controller is in the RAM)

Is there any way to get a sense for how meaningful this is? Like, is it a pretty sure bet that no attack has happened? Or, if an attack has happened, it's likely been targeted state-sponsored? Or, is it every time you deploy on a multi-tenant host (e.g., ec2), you're playing Russian roulette?

So that's why my mom gets a Texan accent around her family. LOL. No, I'm serious. She doesn't normally until she's around certain extended family members.

Edit: She has a neutral accent normally and then switches on Texan mode after being with certain family for awhile. My ears are like "Mom, are you Texan now or what?"
I am not sure about LBNL overall but I would guess computing use is a fraction of what the ALS uses.
> It sounds as though people in some countries interpret it as if the smiling person is on the inside of a joke and you're on the outside, or even the object of ridicule.

I would say this is pretty common in the USA. Anyone smiling or laughing, especially in the customer service industry, can easily be interpreted that they are up to something. Makes customers uncomfortable. Obviously a generalized statement, but it seems most food and customer service industries despise their customers.
Quite a lot of US culture can come off as phony to (Eastern) Europeans. Friend of mine went to the US for a business schooling event and said people were completely incapable of honest criticism. They would sugar coat criticism under 10 layers of phony praise. He was the only one who actually said something was bad outright, if someone gave a bad presentation. He attributed it to cultural difference. Guess it is related to what Americans think is friendly / unfriendly behavior.

It's tough to navigate Americans. They're super friendly, but often I feel like it's their version of "being polite" and not more.

Just yesterday I read https://idlewords.com/2018/12/gluten_free_antarctica.htm which is pretty amusing, and I recommend reading. Quoting the most relevant (to this discussion) part from it:

> “They’re at work. They're Russians.”

> "Is it normal for them to eat without talking to one another?”

> “This is their job. They get 20 minutes to eat.”

> “Yeah, but they never smile. Are they happy?”

> Are the Russians happy? Is anyone happy? Can one ever truly be said to be happy?

> I am tempted to go full Slav on Conor, to explain to him how we are all just grains of dust suspended in the howling void, searching for meaning in the fleeting moments before we are yanked back to the oblivion from whence we emerged, naked and screaming.

"Two weeks to flatten the curve" was due to fears that hospitals were going to be swamped with thousands of covid patients. Not only would there be the issue of not enough beds, ventilators, and trained medical personnel, the hospitals would quickly run out of funds to operate. The government wanted to keep this from happening so they created a fund that would pay hospitals money quickly for each covid patient they treated.

This was to avoid the time consuming process of dealing with insurance claims and the uninsured. It unintentionally created a perverse incentive for hospitals to claim as many deaths as possible as covid deaths. That doesn't mean that all or even most hospitals are doing this, at least not intentionally but everyone working in the hospital is aware that it needs financial stability. Even if they're not intentionally sticking their thumbs on the scale to attribute deaths to covid that shouldn't be, there's going to be a bias for it.

As for the amounts, you can probably find those with a web search but be aware that there's lots of bad information out there so be careful about the source you check.
I don't think the .01% have contributed even .01% of the work, so they definitely don't deserve 99.99% of the gains.

Being super rich and using that advantage to usurp all the productivity gains of the whole world doesn't make them working people. The working people are the ones that actual do the work, not the ones that control the capital.

Things like Jeff Bezos getting a $500 million yacht make me sick. What kind of resources does that take? How many lifetimes of work go into it? How many schools could you build instead? Hospitals? Houses? How about spending $500 million dollars building water filtration systems for developing countries?

No one should be allowed to squander resources and labor like that until every person on the planet has food to eat, clean water to drink, and a safe place to sleep.
> If you conform to the social protocol, you can advocate for the most horrible of positions on this site.

You shouldn’t assume that every argument made against a particular solution to social injustice is an argument advocating for social injustice.

While there are some people who are just plain racist or bigoted or have certain religious views; and therefore believe that racial/gender/etc injustice is inevitable, many others are just arguing against a particular solution.

For example, not everyone agues against dialectical materialism because they want people to be poor. They just don’t think communism can work.
I mean, that reinforces every single one of my points, doesn't it? :)
its unhelpful, dismissive, and shows a complete lack of empathy.

My whole point is that Netflix is fire and forget. Piracy is not only a complex install and a security threat, you also have the cognitive and time load of keeping up, learning about and reinstalling / reconfiguring new stuff all the time... I deal with sysadmin all day at work, at home, sometimes I just want to watch stuff - and certainly my family does.

Some people get pleasure out of mowing the lawn, some people get pleasure of endlessly reconfiguring their home lab - I was one of those for 25 years, but! It's crucial to recognize that's a minority.
Yeah, that’s why we’re building the fabric for vendors to deliver exactly that.

As a vendor, you just worry about acquiring your data and dumping it into your favorite database. Give us the read-only credentials and we’ll take it from there. We handle distribution and give you tools to configure automatic versioning. (Ultimately we can reduce this even further, so you don’t need to maintain a database and can write directly to your virtual Postgres database at Splitgraph).

As a consumer, you just need to connect to one database and you can query any table you’ve been granted access to, using your existing Postgres client. Or you can use a REST API that exists for every version of every dataset.

We’ve gotta add all the billing, access controls, and some web UI, but otherwise this all works now. We’re a long way from focusing on any marketplace aspect though. We’re prioritizing the intra-organizational use case for now (where they over-rely on jargon like this, btw).
50 years of trickle up economics would be a good start IMO.

> most optimal solutions tended to require a stateful, even pointer-diddling, style of code

not necessarily, a search problem can be solved in a functional way in 2 steps: 1) constructing a search space in lazy stream, this is where dfs or bfs happens 2) filtering the stream using standard filter function

Similarly if you do dynamic programming using memoization instead of tabularization you might not need any state

I think, like practical problem solving, algorithms have been predominantly taught in a stateful way of writing code that was popular because of the computing power constraints back in the day. That doesn't mean that's the only way to write them
I once made a car-full of IITians LTAOs at my "Indian" accent that they asked me to do when I normally don't. I grew-up with numerous accented English-speakers, and I found Indian was the easiest. I can't do Scottish, Welsh, or Irish to save my life.
Yeah, it can really seem like "We closed a x-million dollar contract, we nailed it." But when you really take a step back, anybody can sell an x-million dollar contract. (reducto-ad-absurdem: I can find somebody tomorrow who would a ton of gold for 1-million dollars). The question to the salesman/ceo is --- did you sell a promise that can realistically and cheaply be made and maintained for under the sales price? If not, a huge sale may ultimately be a net negative.

This isn't just some philosophical thing, I've worked at tons of places that have gone out doing ridiculous partnership attempts (e.g. an Italian telecom company) based on this misunderstanding.

lol, pwn did not come from counterstrike. It originated from "leetspeak", which were creative misspellings that script kiddies and anarchist hackers on bbs boards (or IRC chans) would create to bypass text filters or go undetected by mods or operators. It later became part of internet culture adopted to mock n00bs.
big banks use them for filtering too, even contracting. And there are also some small companies that use them for some reason, probably the tech lead learned that from a big firm they worked in.

I believe Government Tax policy has only helped to serve this end.

In the 1950s, roughly: 50% of federal revenue was from personal income taxes, 25% was from corporate taxes, and 25% from excise taxes.

Today, roughly: 85% of federal revenue is from personal income taxes, 7% is from corporate taxes, and 8% from excise taxes.

Ah yes, Python, the famously statically compiled general-purpose programming language :p

More seriously though, just because some language may be considered "general purpose" doesn't mean it's the best language for everything, or should replace other languages outside of whichever particular applications where it excels.
"These FP16 operations are very useful for some kinds of calculations."

To summarize the part about efficiencies, by heating up your place with electricity instead of gas, the power plant needs to burn ~50% more gas (& so 50% more emissions) than you'd have to if you were to use your furnace. Intuitively, other fossil-fuel power plants will also cause larger emissions than you would locally (as they all start with burning stuff for heat & only then convert that to electricity with some losses, while you could stop there), but I haven't run the numbers. Thermodynamics is a b*tch.

Some really emotional comments on here. Definitely an emotional situation but take a step back -

If your cofounder fires you and you keep 45%, you're basically getting half the value for none of the work. Aside from the pride, this is actually very favorable. Probably the best way to handle it is to realize you own half of this thing, and offer to write a resignation letter to minimize the drama, swallow your pride, and hope all your eng team doesn't quit.

Potentially talking to YC/investors would be good because they might be able to talk the CEO out of such a huge mistake.

Posting on reddit, not so good. Eng employees will read it and potentially leave, turning your 45% into less value.
The issue is whether or not courts have this kind of jurisdiction.
It comes down to semantics of “kill”. I wonder if there's anyone can believe long work hours are the sole cause of mortality, regardless of whether they read the title.

The usual interpretation, long work hours are the major factor in the mortality of 745k people, is a valid interpretation of the research results.

To say it only contributes to mortality along with many other factors, without pointing out the portion of correlation, is to say nothing at all, which isn't what the report tries to communicate.
