Just watched. Yeah, great film. Sure glad you mentioned it. Hearing from those guys is a real treat. Lol, Eugene: Crush the Player, but make them want and pay for more.

To the Williams team:

For a time, I had Playstation, Dreamcast, in one corner of a living room, and MAME loaded up with the best of Coin OP in another.

It would ebb and flow, but the Coin OP side always saw a lot of play. At the time, MAME was running on a pretty great PC, big ass SONY Trinitron CRT with solid keyboard, mouse, other controllers. Sometimes I would make one if a game proved compelling enough for the kids, not just mine. Neighborhood kids. They would come to play on the killer MAME setup.

In my bedroom, during those times, I had an SGI Indy that I built XMame on, and it would just play Smash TV, when compiled with aggressive optimization. That was my machine to play classics on, Defender, Asteroids, Smash TV, Robotron...

To be fair, the console side was on an even bigger, like 200 plus pound SONY WEGA.

Might as well make the most of the tech at the time.

Those Coin OP games worked even when it was not about hard won quarters. And we (family) toured the local arcades as long as we could. And did drive in movies too.

The Internet did a similar thing at home. It encroached on gaming time, then became gaming time. Quake 3 Arena displaced all of it for quite a while. Networked FPS is amazing, as we all know.

Cell phones had an impact too. Suddenly young people could talk away from parents, without having to have a place to meet up. This aligned roughly with the Internet, and maybe gets missed. Text was huge. I used to teach other parents how to read all the shorthand lingo. Many parents had no idea.

SMS and chats of various kinds were as intoxicating as the best video games were, Coin OP or not.

As an 70's and 80's era kid, I saw the arcades from later pinball (which I still find amazing and fun), to old black and white arcade games, vectors (another experience worth having if you can on a CRT in an arcade), through Defender and all that we see in this film. For a little while, arcades felt new again when the bigger machines and more body movement games, Dance Dance and others, got people moving in many ways, not just flogging controls and a few buttons. I liked that time as much as I did the often smoke filled arcades where I could find hard core, Star Castle, Rip Off, Defender, Tempest, and many others.

At the arcade, we could play, talk, live out parts of ourselves, share that, and do it away from parents. Same goes for cruising around in cars, until that was made illegal... networks were a concept many knew about and few experienced. Phones had wires and or were an expensive resource, often including watchful eyes and ears.

Cell Phones, home consoles, Internet really did take out the arcade, but for a few today able to exist reasonably.

Also, see those 1up cabinets? People really like them, even when the game experience is sub par. Seems like the arcade experience is still relevant, but with poor economics. And annoying ticket / prize schemes.

It all was a fun time. Glad I was there. Sometimes want to go back.

Absurd zoning processes. If I build a computer or eat a meal, even though there are some associated safety regulations, a bunch of people within half a block of me with blatant conflicts of interests generally can't take me to court to impede me. If I want to turn a single family house into a duplex, or someone wants to turn a long-abandoned parking lot into an apartment complex, well...
I think the "sadly" there is supposed to be the other way around. That is supposed to be "sadly, the farmers affected believe the least in fighting climate change."
40GB seems cramped for a Windows install, I usually do 80-100GB boot drives.

That being said Windows will happily exist as a VM, issues only arise when you need a dedicated GPU or OpenGL.
I suspect it's a travel aid, a gestalt of months you should consider visiting these cities, and what to pack.
Putting up a house involves a ton of manual labor by people who have to be paid minimum wage as well and this hasn't really scaled up with technology the way things like software can. If you put the cost into person-hours to create the house, and consider the relative scarcity of desirable land, there's not so much mystery here. Sure, there are vast empty areas, but not many people are willing to live in places with no utility hookups.

Yes, there are prefab houses and whatnot, but that only enables so much scaling.
There are all kinds of perverse incentives there. Oil is a great way to sequester CO2, but pumping it out of the ground doesn't help our problems. Yet it would still be valid currency.

You could ban oil as a store, but people will use it as a power source for net positive emissions processes to sequester CO2 in another form.

It also makes money laundering laughably easy (plant trees). Then again, maybe we care less if we can turn that money towards good.

And there are also the general issues with using a physical currency. It's hard to transact across distances. You could do a bank-like system, but at that point it starts to look like carbon credits and calls into question the necessity of a parallel currency.
I'll be releasing the schematics when the codebase has been cleaned up and is stable. I also found a critical hardware bug in the LiPo charging circuit which could be dangerous so once the issue is fixed, I'll release the PCB.

There's no plan to commercialize the device. However, I hope that the hacker community will eventually help take the device to the next level through hardware and software enhancements.

Regarding voice... The board has a MEMS microphone linked to PWM and the STM32H7 has sufficient bandwidth to compress voice in real-time and package it ready for transmission. I plan to add short message voice transmission soon.

Regarding LoRa and LoRaWan... there have been suggestions to greatly improve range by piggybacking the things network. I'm investigating this. Currently, the network implementation is a simple self-healing mesh network. It features route discovery and low power performance. Standard Semtech LoRa drivers have been implemented with some important modifications to queue interrupts (better for low power management)

RF... the PCB features a tuned 915 mhz antenna + a microcoaxial RF connector for an external antenna. 50Ohm impedance tracing. http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1867459.pdf

PCB traces... 50 ohm impedance traces have been match length tuned for high speed NAND memory interfaces. Featuring a QuadSPI interface, the bus can operate at 160 mhz. While not super fast by todays standards, it's a nice feature.

4K encryption... It's not marketing hype or a play on 4K screens. I added incredibly strong encryption, just because it could be done. Fun to do and probably not needed... #overengineered

Nokia e71/72... the PCB can be EASILY adapted to suit those cases. I'm thinking about doing it. Anyone like to assist?

Operating system... I'm using FreeRTOS as the kernel with custom device drivers for scattered throughout the codebase to handle the keypad, RTC, LoRa radio, LCD screen tearing, USB port, MicroSD card etc.

Debugging and development enhancements... I plan to 3D print a chassis to hold the phone when debugging. For this to work, the PCB needs to have pads placed strategically around the battery area so that when it's docked, the SWD debug header, trace pins and power sources are exposed to the debug chassis pins. Next PCB version.

If you have any questions.... shoot. I'm happy to discuss the device here on the forum. If you have collaboration ideas, I'm open to hearing them.

The answers giver are good, however they also forgot the simple fact that it is simply more valuable (for most servers) to re-purpose compromised servers to be C2C or spam if it's an SMTP server than locking them up and doing (essentially) nothing with the data. The fact that datacenter PCs are essentially "cattle" PCs means that encryption is redundant - you can still get the data that you want and threaten companies the same.

Psychoacoustic Radio Episode: WFMU
minimum wage work used to be for teenagers living at home. The terrifying thing to me is that we have a large quantity of adults without any appreciable skills that would lend them to work which raises them out of minimum wage.

most of us started at or near minimum wage living with roommates etc. The question to me is what is preventing these people from achieving career growth?

As an IoT noob, can you or someone expand on that please? Thanks!
It would be nice to have other sort options such as "low date" or "mean temperature".
I’m sorry, what?

I feel like that’s a normal human thing to say. People usually say it’s sad when people are affected by bad things, and don’t put a great deal of thought into every implication of how they phrase things. I don’t know, maybe you’re more a fan of karmic justice than of sad irony.
Watching the Pacific Northwest heatwave I can’t help but think that regional climate is going to change much faster than what laymen like myself would expect.

120 degree dry air temperatures produce desert conditions. I can’t imagine that the temperate rainforest of the PNW would last a decade with that kind of weather.
I'm a bit amazed I've received downvotes for this post. I'm saying (1) you don't know how much this will speed up by going to C without trying it and (2) you don't know how much of the speed up in this case comes from the OP having written it in C and how much comes from the fact that it's a different algorithm. The fact that anyone would disagree with these (obviously true) statements is kind of incredible to me.
When you make housing an investment, by definition, it has to become less affordable in the future.

Until a country decides to stop making policy to support this notion that a basic need should be an appreciating asset and not a depreciating one like food, transportation, etc, this completely unsurprising trend will continue. It is a strange world we live in where we collectively believe that a basic need should appreciate in value over time.
Housing is location-dependent. More jobs and higher wages generally equals more expensive housing.
Presumably it was an unintended side effect of their algorithm
There is a play list and two links for listening on this page.

Sega claims to retrofit Keymaster to PrizeLocker that is more of a game of skill than luck.
Lots of reasons.

- They mostly run Linux

- They don't execute arbitrary code or binaries

- They are hardened by default

- Servers mostly sit behind layers of firewalls and load balancers

- Machines/VMs are isolated from each other

- They have backup and disaster strategies in place

ITAR is largely voluntary. I say this having looked at the regulations because at one time I wanted to produce/was producing things that fell under ITAR. In a lot of situations if you say it is not restricted by ITAR then it is not.

This leaves me (and hopefully you) wondering what ITAR actually still accomplishes. I guess federal contracts dictate the use of the ensuing technology? I still see issues with that depending on how IP rights are assigned.

I guess we're waiting on the next PGP-style test of export control laws.
Nothing unique about them, many countries used to have similar ones like 100 years ago before they started to use machinery to save on labor, so these diminished.

Not sure, if something so inefficient is worth the praise.
Sure - they won't be much disadvantaged. But I meant that if they went Azure only or tried to be the only provider, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. I completely expect them to want a good experience on AWS hosted desktop. Maybe not the best, but I don't expect them to have a significant advantage. (apart from possible integrations)
For bonus points, make sure people outside of the local economy can buy and influence the cost of housing, making certain that the cost becomes completely decoupled from supply and demand of the community who are supposed to live in them.
Tons of middle age and old people doing minum wage, low-skilled jobs. This whole myth that minimum wage = young people died long ago.
Article is really "minimum wage workers cannot afford a two-bedroom apartment while only spending the recommended 30% of their income on housing."

There's a lot of assumptions there. Assumes minimum wage workers should not have to get by with a single bedroom and a couch in their own place. Assumes minimum wage workers should not have to spend more than 30% of their income on housing.

Now maybe that should be our policy. I just don't think the headline should be "can't afford rent" until we've made a concrete policy decision as a people that supports the premise that they should be able to afford it.
There's been a decent amount of reverse engineering by YouTubers on the subject.

It was a HUGE decade for everyone in the West anyways. 2008 still feels like today and it mostly is. 1998 felt like, well the 90s, we hadn't even hit 2000 yet, and had all this end of the world, next millennium zeitgeist in the air.

If that's the only thing that changes, and it does so on a predictable basis, I don't think it would be even a speed bump to the techniques described in the paper.

I could explain why and how this "study" is deliberately crafted misinformation, but I assume you're all smart enough to read the article for yourselves and come to the same conclusion. At least a few commentators have figured it out. Have you?
You just run your own CA and install that as a trusted root. Then you aren't vulnerable to external parties and you don't have to deal with alarm bells over self-signed certs.

I understand it to be harmful, but in a way that contaminates the environment around it. A bad colleague can be a dick, in isolation, whereas a toxic colleague would be someone whose behaviours poisons their surrounds and brings out bad behavior in other people in their team.

I am non-contact with a toxic parent because I know it brings out worse behaviour in myself, and I want to stop that cycle of passive-aggressiveness and judgement towards people I do care about.
Tickled me how the code refers to Fahrenheit as 'wacky'.
Same with mortgages. They increase the price over time.

Misleading but not incorrect. Old iOS versions mentioned still gets security updates, so technically correct.
Very good point. Am I right in thinking that most data centers use a flavor of unix or linux? I don't think I've heard of a linux or unix Ransomware attack. This and the low attack surface of a data center is probably the answer. Attacking a data center is probably so much harder that it's not worth the effort if there are easier targets.

Here's an interesting article on the subject of Ransomware on linux.

https://linuxsecurity.com/features/anatomy-of-a-linux-ransom...

tl;dr
Linux ransomware is on the rise, but ransomware risk is still significantly lower for Linux users than for their Windows- and MacOS-using counterparts.
As many have indicated: it is not that this is possible or even unique, it is simply the price at which it can be achieved. Not including this in the announcement misses the only point that anyone cares about.

Yes, people forget that the 2° warming you keep hearing are global averages, including the oceans. If you restrict yourself to temperatures over land, the warming is much stronger. In addition, a small rise in average temperatures leads to a large rise in the number of days with high temperatures. Here for example are charts showing the number of days >30°C in Germany since the fifties: https://twitter.com/DWD_klima/status/1407023635798319106/pho... They have already roughly doubled since the eighties and global warming is just starting to get serious.
Ah! When it comes to arguments, yes, I do agree that their supporting examples really ought to be true-to-life.

But I don't think that's quite what was going on here.

munificent was using a metaphor in service of his plea, his encouragement, his advice that you really ought to consider making regular efforts at what you care about. To me, that feels a lot less technical and a lot more human than an argument does.

The difference between metaphors and examples might be that the important part of a metaphor is how it functions in context, how it adds to the metaphrand[1], and the important part of an example is how it functions out of context.

To give an example of metaphor: many Native American tribes besides the Lemhi Shoshone have stories that claim Sacagawea as one of their own. The stories—themselves metaphors for tribal values—are, of course, wrong, but they serve an important instructional purpose, nonetheless, transmitting values and custom in a narrative that inspires. In that case, it seems less important that the children of these tribes are hearing something factually incorrect, and more important that they are inspired by and identify with the story.

To give an example of example: if you're making an argument in court, you have to reference examples of past rulings that support your position. The strength of your argument depends completely on the validity of your examples, as they occurred outside the current context.

If you think I'm full of hot air, you're right, but anyway here is a list of famous authors explaining how fiction is truer than the truth itself: https://www.brainpickings.org/2012/01/27/famous-authors-on-t...

Thanks for coming to my TEDxHN talk.

1) Julian Jaynes, in the beginning of "The Origins of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind", does a lovely segment on how we only learn via metaphor, and in which he develops the terms metaphier (commonly, the metaphor itself) and metaphrand (the thing being described by the metaphor).
You're totally missing my point. By the time you are old you should have acquired a valuable skill.
How can you say this? Starlink is in beta and nowhere near the full capacity they need to sustain the business.

they are exploiting the 'quality' codebase written by your so-called average dev or software engineers

Basically, in this case, you should look at the date that he sold the options, instead of the day of the sale. Since it was under a month of ownership, it seems suspicious to me.
TVs haven't really gotten all that much cheaper to my memory in years. I can recall spending about $7-800 on a big-screen cabinet for our family room in the mid-90's and then recently spending the same amount flat screen LED version recently.

Computers also aren't really all that much cheaper now either. I mean sure, OK, compared to the 80's sure but that was 40 years ago.

Cars have absolutely not gotten cheaper.

Education and housing though...yeah. The Federal Reserve has made sure that no one has been able to afford either for many years now. Housing has also been made even worse by flippers and foreign investors(invaders).

Rentals also consolidating into fewer and fewer hands which is just going to drive up rents for everyone.

Electronics are frankly only so important.

Housing(ownership especially) and education are actually things that underpin so many other societal problems that we as a country should have *never* allowed lax interest rate policy and Chinese investors / flippers to drive prices so far beyond any semblance of rationality.
