Obviously the people I’m comparing against each other are in the same social-economic stratum. Even after conditioning for other factors, the costs of bad (vegetable-based) diets are significant.

And, of course, there is a bidirectional causality with poor people getting bad food, which stunts their development, which keeps them poor.

"x1 connectors which doesn't have an "open back" for larger cards..."

Because they bothered to read the PCIe spec.

Open back slots are against the PCIe specification ("up plugging" is the term IIRC). That is for two (three?) reasons, first its a mechanical thing, if you noticed plugging a big heavy x16 GPU into a x1 slot is an exercise in getting it just right. Any bump/whatever will move the card into a bad angle, even if its screwed into the back panel. Second, in the past, with older pcie specs the amount of current a slot was required to supply was dependent on its size. So a big x16 card might need the full slot rating while a smaller slot might only provide a smaller amount of current. (IIRC the limits were something like 75W for a x16 and only 25W for a x1). Thirdly, down plugging _IS_ part of the spec and the correct way to handle this situation. That means the MB vendor provides a larger, say x16, mechanical slot which is provides a fraction of the signal lanes, say x4.

So, the vendors which were providing cut back slots were either ignorant of the spec, too cheap to pay the couple extra cents for the larger connector, or had some fundamental constrain on providing it and were willing to provide a non-conformant part (generally unlikely). I've seen these cut back slots a few times in parts of the arm ecosystem where the vendor can't be bothered to read the spec much less implement it correctly. This is also how one has the pile of problems that are frequently seen in the SBC market where the boards won't actually work with some PCIe card, USB device, whatever because the HW/SW is only implementing the convenient parts the relevant standard.
I think you could say correlation and causation are correlated, but I don't think it's fair to repurpose the word "equal" to mean something it doesn't.

The case the article is trying to make is "don't use email".

Encrypted email maybe works if both you and your counterparts are power users that know how to use GPG, or how to properly configure it through Thunderbird or any other email client.

The moment you have to implement encrypted emails in a high-risk organization or ad-hoc collective, it all goes out the window. There are simply way too many pitfalls to get it working properly. You have to continuously educate your users and ensure they don't shoot themselves in the foot.

Data from the UK can help with the decent guesstimate you are looking for. See https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... pages 15--17. (The rest of the report is interesting too.)

The probabilities in the UK are clearly marked as probabilities per unit time, where the unit time appears to be four weeks. In contrast, it appears that the CDC data is cumulative since the Big Bang, which I think is less useful to your purpose.
In Chinese, there are 2 words for "regret".

後悔 hòu huǐ is the regret of things I did: e.g. I regret drinking that much.

遺憾 yí hàn is the regret of things I didn't do: e.g. I regret not asking her to dance.

Which do you have more of on your anti-regret list? Spending time with kids sounds much more like 遺憾 yí hàn.

"A WOMAN WHO drives a car will be killed,” says Sheikh Hazim Muhammad al-Manshad. "

I would not characterize causing someone to die as treating that person badly.

If one allows such examples than anything that is bad, but does not resort to killing (a woman in this case) could be viewed as ok - which excuses a lot of mistreatment that women still experience in our societies.

Essentially, their argument is: Metadata isn't protected, and mail gets archived when perhaps you want messages to disappear. If you're writing messages on any system with the assumption they aren't stored somewhere indefinitely, you're already failing, buckaroo.

Finally a website where i can filter for criteria I need, down to stuff like keyboard without number block, with Trackpoint (on the site it's called pointing stick). No other site i know does this, not even the vendors themselves.
Similar for dnscrypt-proxy: add "forwarding_rules = '/etc/dnscrypt-proxy/forwarding_rules.txt'" to /etc/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.toml and then populate the forwarding_rules.txt with lines like "archive.is 8.8.8.8".
I do not think it has much sense if the standard is the good-old-EDNS or something new, for example supplying city name in a text form instead of hiding last bits of IP as EDNS does.

Google's 8.8.8.8 provides client-ip via EDNS to every webmaster. Zeroing at least 8 bits for privacy - it was made with privacy in mind too. The privacy could be tuned by zeroing 10+ instead of 8+ bits, etc. There is nothing wrong with EDNS and privacy, which would require to abandon ENDS with privacy stancas.

And Google provides that FOR FREE. To everyone.

How can I - as webmaster - get similar info from 1.1.1.1?

> Can you buy stocks with central bank reserves?

That kind of depends on who you are. If you are a central bank, and particularly one of the central banks that doesn't, by policy, not buy that class of securities, yes, you can (e.g., the Bank of Japan does.) If you are not a central bank, you can't buy anything with central bank reserves, and if you are, say, the Fed, you could, but you've made a policy choice not to.

Regarding WMDs, intelligence couldn't be released because it was supposedly sensitive.

What if they were required to release an md5sum of a tarball of the intelligence, perhaps with associated metadata to make it infeasible to fabricate/game. This process is overseen by a judge or independent body. Then 5-15 years later they release it in full when that intelligence is no longer sensitive?

This is a way to get around the excuse of sensitivity. Sort of like a time-shifted FOIA request. It'd be a great way to strengthen our democratic institutions, deter lying and corruption and manufactured consent, neuter conspiracy theories of a deep state, improve everyone's confidence in institutions, and for accountability and transparency.

Perhaps this isn't feasibile in practice, though, if the intelligence involves spies/assets that are still operational, or if it would involve revealing secrets around capabilities and methods. However, if that's the case, then they could release say 100 md5sums corresponding to the 100 documents, and only release the subset of which is no longer sensitive, with a judge appointed to determine the legitimacy of the claim of sensitivity, and forcing the release of the subset of documents not deemed to be sufficiently sensitive.

James Lindsay - of the hoax grievance studies [0] fame - talks about this in a lengthy series of netcasts [1] based around Herbert Marcuse's "An essay on liberation" [2]. According to his explanation these irrational and often counterproductive policies are part of an attempt to provide the conditions which would enable the creation of a new society based on "stakeholder capitalism" along the lines of Schwab's "Fourth Industrial Revolution" [3].

Read the essay - it is quite dense - and listen to Lindsay's thoughts on what Marcuse means to current affairs. Do it in that order to make sure you know what he is talking about, he sometimes stumbles over sentences and does not really know the German language at all while the original is written in that language and this translation still contains a number of German words. Form your own conclusion as to whether Lindsay is right in seeing Marcuse's take on the future of Marxist ideology reflected in current affairs.

This simply isn’t true. Women have always known how to terminate unwanted pregnancies safely. But that knowledge was lost when we advertised our sexual freedom in the name of feminism.

Birth rate has grown exponentially after the pill and various methods of medical termination. Women’s reproductive rights have become a cash cow and a political third rail. Not to mention religion.

Here is the best kept secret: we were always free. The secret was that women never let the others know about it. Now everything is ruined with ..what is it now?…fourth wave of feminism?

As always, it's a bad time to be an imaginary person.

It's a big leap to pretend the model reflects the real world, let alone today's real world. As far as I can tell, sharing has become largely fenced into communities (reddit subs, Facebook groups). People who still share with people they know personally appear to me to be a minority.

Don't get me wrong, the principle is sound, but the world changes fast and the described model doesn't seem very relevant nowadays.

Somehow this post takes the least interesting part of the source article[0] and draws false conclusions from it.

> In the simulation, the decision whether to rebroadcast is random, rather than being driven by “virality” or cognitive bias, so the simulation is an optimistic one.
> It turns out that message propagation follows a power law: the probability of a meme being shared a given number of times is roughly proportional to an inverse power of that number.

So they implement a textbook model and a textbook result comes out - surprise? There’s nothing to be drawn by this.

I may share the authors sentiment but frankly this blog post is bunk.

There’re some interesting parts in the source though once you get through all the grand-standing fluff.

> One neat thing about PCIe is that every PCIe compliant device must support using less lanes than it can. So your GPU which would like to work with x16 must support x1 etc.

I tried this with a SAS controller. They make 16-port SAS PCI-e x8 cards, so on a x1 slot I should get full speed for 1-2 SAS devices, and the SAS drive(s) will only slow-down if I add more... right?

Wrong. Even with a single device, you get about 1/8th the speed you should. So, yeah, PCI-e cards properly downgrade to fewer lanes, but not necessarily in a very useful way.

Most of the world didn't start as part of united Germany and differ from the West mainly in the governing ideology and resources of the occupying power that dictated policy to it.
They didn't really have the same starting point. The West had the Marshall Plan and the East had to reboot itself.

We've been using Storybook for isolated development of state-heavy components and it's been a nice productivity booster, compared to testing inside the actual app.

As a bonus, the stories that get created live in your codebase and can be integrated into several different types of testing - jest test suites, visual regression testing, and puppeteer / Selenium.

There's certainly an overhead for mocking data properly, but I tend to see that as part of the general challenge of testing frontend / JS code.
Again, you keep presenting this as something Cloudflare provides to “megacorps” for money. There’s no evidence this is the case, it’s just your speculation.

I’m really sorry that you somehow depend heavily on EDNS Client Subnets, a feature that was only standardized 5 years ago. But it’s optional, per the spec, and Cloudflare has published their rationale for not enabling it on their resolvers.

...which is why I specified it would require quite improbable circumstances. We'd need to be in a situation where we are extremely close to a tipping point, but we are shutting down or reducing enough CO₂ sources that we are just going to miss crossing it and back away from it, and then a massive number of people decide to lose weight and the little temporary bump in CO₂ emission pushes us over.

> Is it also political propaganda to show a patch of the Japanese flag?

In combination with Taiwan, of course it is. Why don't you think it is? The history here is that Japan had criminally occupied Taiwan for half a century, and once WW2 was over, the US has supported Taiwans independence from China ever since. Due to Japan's large scale genocide campaign in China, and the fact that they barely even apologised half a century after the war (with full US support), the Japan / Taiwan issue is naturally highly political and controversial in China. There's so much past wrongdoings, so pretending to be on a moral pedestal here is ridiculously ignorant. Even these days the US is threatening war with China over Taiwan, as they have been historically all along.

> Xi-era Chinese nationalism is so fragile and easily bruised

Easily bruised only in the eyes of people completely ignorant of history, or who holds false or extremely biased historical views.

Execs may have less to do with the decline than a changing market. Google poured resources and new ideas into a mostly greenfield effort, and leveraged its market position to push its browser. Edge and Safari also benefit from their makers' platforms and marketing.

It's a hostile world for an independent browser. And IMO Firefox is still the least worst option.
Ask HN: When to switch startup backend from Python to Golang?
Self explanatory question, but you could replace Python with NodeJS or any script like fast paced language, and Golang with Java or any sturdy compiled statically typed language

I don't want our startup to slow down much but also don't want our life to be hell (performance, code quality, jenga brick backend) later with our choices.

Did any of you start with Golang perhaps and felt you were as fast as perhaps Python would have made you?

Is there a standard canonical best practice around this?
It's entirely possible this is happening, just in a way that we're not aware of, a la The Matrix. So I guess I feel ambivalent about it. Ignorance is bliss.

You would come up with a decent legal definition of a surveillance camera with a distinction from a person taking pictures. You would add disclosure provisions, if an observed person could reasonably be expected to see and make a choice (say entering a business) there would be one set of rules, when a person couldn’t see a notice or make a choice (say a camera on a vehicle) there would be much more restrictive rules.

You would make it a crime to violate the rules but administered like and possible to sue in civil court for victims. The crime would be on the owner/operator of the camera and special provisions would be added for storage providers.
What is the intended usage for that? As in used in Consumer PC ?

Would microWatts [1] fit that purpose? Not only do you have an Open ISA as in OpenPower, you also have an Open implementation of that ISA. AFAIK RISC-V doesn't have anything similar, only open source design in embedded usage.

Otherwise a low cost POWER10 ( or now Power10 without the capital... and I hate it ) wont make much sense. You are talking about ~30mm2+ per core design. It is huge.
