Not quite clickbait. Previously there was no way to experiment with and introspect the changes in any Intel microcode updates. This gives unverified r/w to microcode update RAM, allowing reverse engineering of at least Apollo Lake updates and update mechanisms.

I've been a little wigged out by the post spectre world of encrypted, unknown blobs changing every couple months. I prefer to treat vendors in a "trust in Allah, but tie up your camel" sort of way as much as possible.

With what product, specifically, did purple gradients land at Apple? Looking at the screenshots of Monterey it seems to me that the purple you see is probably from the desktop background, which is visible through the translucent UI elements. There are purple gradient elements on the web page itself, but I don't think that's particularly relevant to the actual software.

Also PACS isn't designed to implement algorithms. PACS is legacy software that is, by and large, terrible.
I'd put my money that they included 'online scoreboard' as the first phrase in the `<meta name="description" content="Online scoreboard"> tag per Google's recommendations for SEO which put them ahead.[0] Also, to this one point of many when searching for `online leaderboard` you get the top spot because leaderboard is not included in the other website's description.

The network tab in devtools isn't loading Google Analytics on you site. I think the bigger conspiracy is that Google isn't giving high search result rankings to websites that don't include Google Analytics. Part of the reason is they use time on site after following through a search result link as a dimension of quality for that search result. If that makes sense? They give 10 search results and their algorithm can tell if the search result satisfies the end user's request if they don't go back to the search results but rather continue on that site.

Lastly, clicking through a search result to your site might not give the searching user what they are looking for. Amazon discovered every time a person has to click they are far less likely to purchase an item so they created one click. Your competition makes it visually clear what their site does. You probably would get far more retention on the original click to your site if you have an image of what the end product looks like in a hero, front and center (with all the meta tags described in Google's document on SEO of course.) That way people won't click back to the search results page which Google is tracking as a dimension.

I don’t know how you can call anything built on Binance chain decentralized since the protocol itself is centralized. This is why all transactions cost like $0.10 on it.

That worked for some radio, although you either had to be uncomfortably close to the border, or the radio had to transmit to the USSR intentionally, like Radio Free Europe. They used signal jammers to jam most of foreign broadcasts but you can't jam everything everywhere. Anyway, even then if you got caught listening, you could face some consequences for anti-soviet behavior. All it needed was one nosy neighbor snitching on you, and commieblocks had notoriously thin walls.

As to TV, the USSR and its allies used the SECAM D/K standard that was incompatible with most of the Western world, except France. So maybe East Germans could catch something but it's doubtful. The only people who could maybe have a PAL/NTSC TV would be sailors, truckers, airline personnel who could smuggle something in, however, such a TV would have no other purpose on the USSR apart from watching foreign broadcasts and later contraband VHS tapes. So again, if you get caught, anti-soviet behavior, consequences, and your smuggling career and any chances of getting a visa are over.

I suspect most people are not using bank accounts as one account among many for financial diversification - the bank account is their sole account.

My question could have been more specific - I see little reason to prefer a bank to fidelity.

It is government insured up to 1.25M though - so I think the risk is minimal short of government collapse.

I'm not sure I'm following this argument here. When the US government calls any major internet company and say "Hey we found this and this information on this page of yours and it's illegal to host the information, so please take it down, or else," does anybody seriously think that these companies will say no?

* Now, I'm definitely not a fan of the Chinese government, but the truth is that every government has power to order around any corporation that wants to do business in its border. The difference is how much you agree with each particular government, not whether they do it or not.
Ugh. Now I feel a bit guilty for referring a friend and former co-worker of mine to a company that is also a recent YC grad... He got hired, so I'm hoping that's not the same company and that it's not the norm... but that sounds awful and demoralizing.

Between this, and the story the other day related to founders bragging about taking advantage of certain vaccination site - it certainly seems that there is a basic "asshole filter" somewhere that YC does not have tuned correctly. Alternatively, they do have it tuned - and they don't mind assholes so long as they make them money... But yeah, YC should probably respond to some of this. Even if it's not a trend, it seems to now have the appearance of one.
Works great for me all over the United States, including quite rural and remote areas - and I've been using it for over 10 years. Not sure what you mean by sucks ass but it gets me where I need to go and tells me when I'm going to get there and provides me alternate routes when there's construction. Maybe I'm not a power user, but it does everything I need.
I've heard so much about how PageRank isn't that important to Google anymore -- but there are many reports of SEO tricks that get people on the first page of Google for common queries. It seems like it's still quite important after all.

I suspect this will only get worse over time. There was a time when, if you wanted to put a site online, you (or somebody that represented you) made a point of understanding everything that went into it. But, even as what's considered a professional web site has gotten exponentially more complicated, too many people see setting up an online presence as something like printing a brochure: details irrelevant. Somebody who does understand the details is going to use them to their advantage.
Before we even get to the political side of "you will never win in the Chinese market", how do we explain that Amazon lost to jd.com, and Walmart (and a slew of other retailers) lost to local retailers? The Chinese government didn't favor the local retailers in anyway. Another case is Uber vs DiDi. The Chinese government didn't favor Didi either, yet DiDi managed to beat Uber hands down. Specifically, Didi managed to be profitable in short trips while losing money on long trips, and Uber's biz team found it out months later. Kinda shameful, if you ask me.
Always cool to see people make their own layouts. Those chords are quite a neat feature.

If you want to try something that's a lot more chord-based and which uses even fewer keys (basically just 23 keys), then I'd recommend downloading Plover and learning Steno. It takes quite a while to learn, but once you do it's very comfortable and can be very fast.

Here's steno on a hobby machine at 202 WPM for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APT7SN1iof8
> All the user’s requests are then sent through two separate internet relays. The first assigns the user an anonymous IP address that maps to their region but not their actual location. The second decrypts the web address they want to visit and forwards them to their destination. This separation of information protects the user’s privacy because no single entity can identify both who a user is and which sites they visit.

This sounds a little like a VPN but also like tor. I don’t really understand what it’s saying

For anyone wondering if there's any real benefit to having your genome sequence, here's my anecdote. Thanks to Promethease, I found out at a young age that I had hereditary hemochromatosis. This condition basically results in the slow over-accumulation of iron over a period of decades. The symptoms are so non-specific that without genetic testing, it's very rarely diagnosed until major damage has been done.

However if detected early, the treatment is dead simple. Regular phlebotomies to keep iron in line. One trip to the blood bank every few months means that the disease has literally zero impact on health or quality of life. Without genenome sequencing, I likely would have lost 10-20 years of life, and even more in terms of quality adjusted years. And this isn't some freak corner case. As many as 1 in 200 Northern Europeans have the genetic condition.
Sadly, GPL doesn't give you that. It only gives users the modified source code. No history, no time of fork. And nothing to the developer.

I think it might be time to upgrade GPL to the age of modern internet, and have licenses requiring that modification are actually PR-ed (or sent by mail or whatever) to the author.

Hell I'd even think that there could be licenses where you are required to use mainline for anything remotely looking like production, and you are not allowed to fork, you're only allowed to use as-is, and to contribute. This one would definitely not be considered FLOSS, but some components really would benefit from not having an infinite number of forks, like the Linux kernel.
This is nothing short of remarkable. Now lets hope that inflation does not make them 97% more expensive again.

I just bought a 12v 200ah battery for $2300 AUD. It could be done for less, but this was a premium model. Hopefully when I purchase a second one in a year or two, it will be a bit cheaper.
This is an anti-pattern.

But it’s definitely one of those things that sounds good until you try it across a variety of teams and different projects.

Developers love showing off their work. But regular demos create expectations. Software always becomes primarily about expectation management.

Early on progress is rapid and there is lots to show and people like showing it.

Then things slow down and you refactor, fix bugs, and you’re left demoing tiny things or with nothing visible to demo.

But you’ve created expectations of consistent delivery of visible features, and non-technical people don’t get it. And the chain of EM and PM don’t want to tarnish their reputation so they will get teams to hack things for a demo. Code quality suffers, and you are piling on tech debt.

Better: let teams demo things when they are ready to demo. Don’t have a blocked out time for it either. Then it always becomes: “so who is ready to demo?”…and if you’re not you are failing and then it’s a competition with other teams.

Constant iteration and demos are good to make sure you are doing the right thing, but not on a public scheduled interval.

It’s scary how many management concepts that come naturally to new engineers are actually terrible ideas in team/political settings. I think we are too used to dealing unemotional machines…
I'm not sure why a laptop isn't viable for you given your description, especially given the fact that the official Apple magic keyboard + iPad Pro 13 is actually heavier (!) and bulkier than the comparatively priced M1 Macbook Pro. That is, unless you actually want the digital art features of the iPad.

If I were in your shoes, I'd wait for the anticipated Macbook Pro 14/16 with the post-M1 CPU.

Thanks for the link. I presumed it was a one time thing.

As other commenters said, may be it's intentional but the change was supposed to be visible only inside China and then someone messed up and it leaked to search results outside of China. (for example : a bad update to the rule censoring the subject inside china made it visible worldwide)

For me, it seems unlikely that they did it on purpose. not because they are good but because no company wants this kind of publicity.
Lab Cultures: An Interview with an Anonymous Biologist (2019)
Well, it was meant as a question but I can see it came out as an accusation but after having read about the unlawful GCHQ data collection court case the other day and then this article saying that this is "unwarranted, unparalleled in its scale and implications and quite possibly unlawful" I arrived at unlawful. Especially as this seems to go back quite some years in different forms and I'm quite positive that the EU (GDPR etc.) would not like this. But I'm neither a lawyer or live in the UK (though I do have family in England so I follow the happenings more than most foreigners I guess).

>>I believe there was another case where the FBI was getting Best Buy’s Geek Squad repair centers to report CP.

I mean, that sounds great in principle, except that I do remmeber reading about a case where they reported some older dude for having CP on his laptop, and it took him being arrested and fired from his job and obiously smeared in every newspaper possible, before prosecutor finally looked at the pictures and figured that yes, indeed, the "CP" in question was just pictures of his grandchildren in a pool with other family around.

If Microsoft had incredible hip credibility and some more luck, the Zune could’ve been a success in line with a solid distant but respected number two. It wasn’t that late. The advanced iPod video and colors etc were closer to Zune time frame. The public perception of it and likely any product would’ve killed it. Google Wave, Google Glasses, many other products that are otherwise not bad, never got close to a fair shot. Maybe Apple’s Newton was similar? That’s out of my time frame and knowledge.

Anecdotally, all my friends mocked the Windows Phone. This is after they didn’t care about webOS too but didn’t actively mock it.

The few people I knew who did have a WP, three others, all loved their phones. We all gave up on it as the public and Microsoft gave up on it too.

I do think Microsoft should’ve kept on with the Windows Phone. But If they were never going to be able to have even a 3rd of the top couple hundred apps, how would they ever survive? Common rhetoric is to say most people don’t use many apps. Core basic apps are enough. That isn’t the same thing as the general zeitgeist and perception of the device though. Windows Phone was looked down on. They didn’t ever have a majority of the top used social media and other core apps. But I bet even if they did. The PR battle would’ve been a bigger hurdle. Other major hurdles would’ve been Google being in my opinion anti competitive as hell. How they treated Google Maps, YouTube, etc, on Windows Phone. Two apps you need to have on your mobile platform.

My fantasy is for Microsoft to have consumed webOS much earlier on. Fast tracked development of that and merge their code bases to that more than change webOS to their code base. If webOS stayed at 7.5% worldwide penetration in the west and 10% in other countries (cheap phones, deals, etc), I’d still be on that and likely never would’ve left it.

The only reasonable way to account for zoning would be to require the zoning board to actually buy the property and pay the associated taxes. Then they can lease out their own property with whatever restrictions they want. Without the benefit of subsidies or eminent domain, naturally—if they want to expand their reach they'll need to raise that money through the revenues from leases (less income tax and other overhead), with restrictive zoning rules limiting their revenues.

I'm also a big fan of early repl.it. I used to be able to hit a bookmarked url and get a repl right away. But its been getting slower and slower and more complicated lately, and this whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth, and it's probably the push I need to move to an alternative.

In case anybody is thinking of building -- I'd happily pay for a similar app that let's you write/share private repls, with third-party package support (yarn, pip, nuget, maven, etc.)
> In particular, oft-used commands[1] should be available through a single key (or a very short and accessible[0] key chord) if possible.

Wouldn't a real ergonomic keyboard (i.e. Dactyl-Manuform or Squeezebox) with thumb clusters fit this bill? Those put the modifier keys on your thumbs, so a two-key chord (layer mod + main key -> function key) should be relatively "short and accessible", at least by my standards.
He might have signed one but it would be legally invalid and if pressed in court it would cease to exist in 0.5 seconds it wouldn't be worth the time to present.
I don’t think that most of the people who complain about multitasking on the iPad actually use it regularly.

Of course not, why would I when the UI sucks so much? "Use it regularly" can also be translated to mean "use it until you memorize the UI gestures that Apple half-assed". I had an easier time memorizing block syntax in Objective-C. It's like vim, only for multitasking on tablets.

It found that half still reorder transactions from the largest amount to the smallest amount — known as “high to low” posting — rather than processing them either from the smallest to largest amount, or in chronological order. High-to-low posting tends to result in fees being applied to several smaller amounts, rather than one fee applied to a single, larger amount.
