There was a generation here or there where AMD(and Nvidia) had poor performance per watt. And even then it was due to pushing clock speeds and voltages on the high end parts to compete on performance. Hardly the norm or even the case today. RDNA2 seems to be very efficient. Cooling aside the RDNA mobile GPU in my Macbook gets a lot done with 20w-30w of power.
Hyperledger Fabric uses Proof of Authority and is still being used for projects. Being antithetical to the crypto crowd it doesn't get the same fanfare. The target user base is very different.

I personally would reach for this tech stack before the permissionless variety, I just don't have anything that needs blockchain.
Governments generally do not accept pseudonyms.
The parent is referring to the chart on Page 31.

By "centred around 1954" it's the post-WW2 through 1970 time window.

I'm not finding the chart to be accurate in the sense of I don't see the various expected S&L crises peaks, where thousands of "banks" were merged or shutdown.
I admit I originally thought this post has omitted the (year) tag and was about the initial batch of Pocket PC dev devices in the 90s before I read the article.
In order to create an incentive for a solution to the problem of fraud which occurs when an entity takes insufficient steps to identify you it would be helpful to avoid using the term identity theft.

Companies like to normalize the concept that it is our problem if they do something like opening an account based on widely available public information instead of taking more care in identifying a person. By calling what has happened identity theft it deflects the responsibility from them. You have had your identity stolen and they are victims as much as you? That's preposterous. It's a fraud which has been perpetrated on them and should have nothing to do with you or your identity.
Was big-tech responsible for the clubhouse 'demise'?

Another theory is that is was a gigantic product/market 'misfit'. It didn't get the traction (nor the user engagement) to make it successful. Not Clubhouse and not a single copycat.

When big tech copies and kills a startup usually someone wins the battle
I wish Verizon would start offering IPV6 across their wireline footprint.
Interesting, that was fixed within 20 minutes of the parent comment. The author/editor may be reading this thread.

Both of my ISPs offer IPv6 gateways. I set them up and visited several IP6 websites.

I crypto exchange I use frequently, Bittrex, allows to whitelist an IP address. Since I have a static IPv4, I did so. Problem is, my request to bittrex always goes out the IP6 gateway and Bittrex does not recognize me. I had to shut down the IP6 gateway to get into the account.

In the context of what I was talking about above,
I find that this kind of stuff is, for my tastes, better for endurance sports like bike riding and running. I still enjoy listening to death metal, black metal, grindcore, etc. of course, but for working out I have found that I prefer something with more of a "groove" as opposed to just a non-stop acoustic assault at TEMPO = BPM = MAX_INTVAL. That and understandable lyrics that prompt more of an emotional reaction.
Whatever I said, I apologize to anyone who's hurt.
When I was a kid, I played cello and bass, which were tuned in 4ths and 5ths. I could go back and forth between the two instruments without batting an eye, including sight reading.

I think you just develop two parallel mental circuits, and there are enough sonic and tactile clues that you don't forget which instrument you're playing.

After high school I played bass exclusively for almost 40 years, and during the pandemic I got my cello out again. After several weeks, the old circuits started to re-attach themselves again. In my case I'm trying to play jazz on both instruments, which includes improv soloing. Let's just say that's a work in progress. There is still a lot of stuff I can play on bass, that I can't approach on the cello.
To be fair, the point of the article is that ROAS is not a very good metric, and while most of the article is wrong in that it effectively calls all advertising worthless as a result, it's not wrong about that one methodological point. What matters is incremental ROAS - not the conversions following exposure, but rather the conversions that would not have happened but for the exposure. For small companies that have no existing awareness, they're close to the same thing. But like you said, it is very hard to measure for the large brand advertisers that are very well-penetrated.

If Coke switched off their advertising they would eventually lose market share, but it would take more than one Christmas of not seeing the polar bears. For companies in their position, advertising is about maintaining dominance. Spending on a Superbowl ad is a way for them to say "we're the best, we know it, and you know it, and when you want a drink, you're going to buy Coke, not RC Cola". It takes a long, long time for that indoctrination to wear off, so there's no way to experiment on it - there's no untouched part of the market that's never seen a Coke ad against which you can do an A/B test.
Wait, what is this flag?

This is my greatest annoyance with the official feed....
I'm a linux user and I want plenty more than just a VPN connection. I want the icon that tells me the VPN is connected. I want the GUI that lets me manage which server I am connecting to and which servers are the most loaded at a particular moment. I want to control from which country my traffic appears on the public internet. I want the little graph showing me that my traffic is indeed flowing over the VPN service. I want a kill switch daemon ready to cut off my traffic should the VPN connection fail. And I want all of that without having to edit any scripts.
I can't imagine the type of espionage operations the various intelligence agencies can now run against each other.

For example, the OPM database hack (by China, allegedly) leaked pretty much every single US citizen who holds a security clearance. A large power like China could simply hack into the travel databases of countries like Thailand, Netherlands, etc. which are known for vices like prostitution and drugs and send themselves notifications when a target enters an area known for "adult fun".

Blackmail has always been a tactic used by the clandestine intel services, but I imagine it was very expensive and time consuming to track the marks you're after.

But these days you'd be able to do it on a scale orders of magnitudes larger for a few thousands dollars per month in cloud costs, duct taping together some pipeline of the various hacked systems and databases with alerting notifications to your army of part-time "gig operatives" all over the world on your Mechanical Turk payroll, lol
Security seems like it needs to be solved at the governmental level with more effective prosecution. I don't imagine that stores would hold up well against physical theft without state protection. Can companies/smaller governments realistically either?
You won't see the big, "respectable" unions get involved because under the Taft-Hartley Act general strikes are pretty much illegal.

The thing is, they can't arrest everybody without turning the USA into more of a prison than it already is and setting the stage for John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM AMERICA.

I forgot to say "some/few" and I swear it was what I had in mind. Not the entire population. But I am sorry.
My vote is it is due to python being included in most base distributions. Combined with a ridiculously loose concept of dependency management, it is trivial to tell people how to get started with many python projects.

This doesn't really scale well, but momentum has a way of making things scale. Especially when most of the popular libs of python are pseudo ports of other language libraries.

Don't most investment homes rely on tenants to offset the maintenance and tax costs of owning the home? Construct enough to meet demand for places to live and the rental market should drop, which would hurt the home-as-investment model, which in turn should bring down home prices, right?
> The consensus was/is/always has been that humans are impacting the climate

Yes, to the extent there has been a consensus about human activities in general, it is that those activities do have significant effects on the climate.

> by burning fossil fuels

No, that hasn't always been a consensus. The human activity with the largest impact on the climate is land use: in the past 10,000 years or so we have significantly changed the surface reflectivity properties of the planet by converting land from forest to farms and cities (and now paved roads and skyscrapers and many other things). It's still not clear that the impact of fossil fuel burning is of comparable magnitude. But it's a lot easier politically to demonize people for burning fossil fuels than for farming and building cities. So that's what gets all the attention.

> everyone agreed that more information was needed

Yes, there has always been broad agreement on that.

> and we had to take action

No, there has not been broad agreement on that. There is certainly not broad agreement that, if we are going to spend trillions of dollars to do something, it should be on browbeating people into not burning fossil fuels. It would make much more sense to spend that money on (a) bringing more people out of poverty, and (b) beefing up our infrastructure. Those things will benefit everyone no matter what happens with the climate--and will also put us in a much better position to adapt to whatever climate change does happen. And in a situation where our information is incomplete and we don't have a good understanding of the overall system (the climate), it's much better to take an action that will benefit you whatever happens, than to place a huge bet on an action that will only be beneficial if one particular theory about what is happening turns out to be right.
Non-functional languages use monads all the time. The difference between them and functional languages is that non-functional languages have ad-hoc syntax for each different monad (e.g., in JavaScript, Array.flatMap, optional chaining with ?., and the await operator each have their own syntaxes), but functional languages abstract out a common pattern and syntax for them all (e.g., Haskell's equivalent of all of those things can all use the >>= operator and the do-notation syntactic sugar).
Instead of asking me for my 2FA code If the bank told me what the code was and I confirmed it on my device then would I be able to trust them? Is there any reason 2FA can’t be used in “reverse” like that?
I think you are right, but the process you describe is so similar to the way we actually create value. Transforming or changing something from less into more. Normally we might call it work, or a patent.

Making garbage can look similar to doing work and making something of value in the right circumstances.
My first thought was that the lightning enlightened (heh...) their minds in a way that they collectively understand some dark truth about the world and have to keep their discussions secret lest the wrong people find out.
The state needs to build a slew of affordable housing. I think the market has shown quite clearly it's ill-equipped to deal with the problem. Housing needs to be built for the purpose of housing people rather than the purpose of making profit.
Facebook for example has a “tracking pixel” script that can be included in your website to get detailed info about conversions from Facebook ads.
Why do you care if Coinbase gets robbed?
Anyone know why this post got flagged? I’m guessing it’s one of either the clickbaity ad-hominem nature that has inspired some less than desirable comments or the fact it’s an ad for a paid product. Regardless of either, I found the actual technical content extremely interesting and discussion-worthy.

Should also add a disclaimer that I work for a direct competitor to RDS and OtterTune would likely find similar issues with our product :)
I'm having trouble thinking how the dto would look bad in a lisp. Should just be close to (defstruct field_name next_field...). What makes that so much worse than what it would be in Java?

The difficult to maintain line really rubs me the wrong way. I've seen messes in all languages I've worked with and see no reason to think a lisp would be worse. Just conjecture from all around.
Most startups I've worked with have domains registered by the founders on GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Gandi which then get transferred to MarkMonitor once the company has an IT budget. I don't think it matters as much as it used to, as nearly every registrar supports two factor auth and domain locks now. Still, I've heard stories about GoDaddy CSRs getting social engineered into transferring domains.
Guess we'll skip branding and awareness campaigns, ignore all post-view purchases, not use cross-device or cross-channel attribution, and not look at attribution of offline conversion/visitation activity.

If the only thing you do is Search and Email Blasts, the query string on your URL might work okay.
For years after, various customers facing websites required IE6 support because analytics showed that there was significant IE 6 traffic. Various enterprises were slow to move off IE6 because various websites and products continued to support it!

I’d learned my lesson. When IE 7 was similarly entrenched, I’d start to provide separate estimates for IE 7 support, and explain to client-side business and IT folk that they could use this information to justify developing reduced functionality for IE7 users and for showing such users a banner urging them to upgrade to a newer browser.
wow :)) thank you so much love, i hope you have a good day/night, and i really do like ur music taste <3 you’re amazing

Nice looking landing page.
My data was leaked in the OPM hack. I had security clearance at that time.

I'm not entirely sure, but there's a part of me that's paranoid about visiting China. I'd like to for tourism reasons. But at the same time, something inside me says "what if?"
“Not today, Zeus!”
Not surprising. I was inside a couple feet from the window (with wooden blinds down) when lightning either hit a few feet outside or hit the house itself, but either way the noise and/or shock wave was strong enough that I had ear infections on and off for months. Fortunately no lasting damage, but it was clear the ENT I talked with had no idea what was happening and wasn't going to be able to do anything.

Also saw a lightning bolt hit and blow up a transformer maybe 1,000 feet away. One of the loudest and scariest things I’ve ever seen.
Masahiro Kikuno, a Japanese independent watchmaker, made a single piece [1] of a wristwatch design that displays wadokei time for a contest. I wonder if he used a similarly shaped gear, and can only imagine his piece (made in 2011) was inspired by the 2004 reverse-engineering of this clock.

Then you should've known that KDE already have wireguard applet implemented in their network manager already in version 5.21 while Gnome is on a track and just waiting to be merged.
It also doesn’t mean that the advertising is money wasted. Coke spends that money to remain the go to brand, and surely values being the cultural default very highly. Saying “Coke would still sell without ads” really misses the point for why Coke advertises.

It reminds of car ads. Apparently (correct me if I’m wrong), but OEM ads aren’t about converting new customers, but they’re about trying to convert recent buyers into lifetime buyers. It’s to build in the consumer the attitude of “we’re a Ford household”, not to convince a Chevy driver to buy Ford for the first time.

I agree with you to the extent that the conversation should basically be "it's not my fault you were dumb enough to lend money to someone who pretended to be me" and it is 100% the institutions fault. In practice though, I find advocating for language change to be a completely empty gesture. There should be clearer laws or precedents about who is liable, and it seems clear it should be "buyer beware" - for greater clarity by buyer I mean to include the lending institutions. If I lend someone money without properly vetting them, it's obviously going to be on me. It should be no different for institutions.
Don't you need mandatory locking of files and directories, or rather powerful transactional semantics for the filesystem then?
> Is it? I only use programs in full screen or half screen

For which a whole mode exists in macOS, but for some reason that's not what a lot of ex-Windows users want.

I got a lot of flak about suggesting those people use it in one previous thread a few months back, with people coming back with how they wanted to have maximised-but-not-fullscreen windows.

And yet full screen windows in macOS can be paired with another full screen window for half-'n-half of the screen, the two halves can be resized, the virtual desktops that they create can be switched between with Mission Control and by using Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right.

So I figured, for that crowd, it's not the end result but the way it's done. They just want it to be more Windows-like. shrug

PS: I mean, I guess it's true that the Dock becomes unavailable to view in full screen window mode (so you can't see the badges) but macOS will make the Dock tiles bounce when there's something for you to see.
Not these days. In hot markets (Vancouver, SF etc) real estate tends to appreciate faster than rent. Having a tenant in a property, along with all the associated rights and obligations, makes a property more difficult to develop or sell. Once upon a time a rental unit with a good tenant was worth more than one without. These days you need to get the tenant out in order to refit and show the property to prospective buyers. Unless an owner plans to keep the property unimproved for many years, having a long-term tenant is just an inconvenience.

Yearly rent is generally going to be about 1/20th the total value of the property. So if the owner plans on doing anything to improve the value of the property by more than 5% in a given year, that improvement process is worth more than having a tenant. In a market like Vancouver, where rent-to-cost ratios are even lower, a tenant paying rent is almost irrelevant in the equation.
Would it make sense to put the batteries on the Australian end or the Singapore end?

I'm happy to see this. Specifically to see Twitter dig themselves a grave. Today they come for anti-vaxers, tomorrow they'll come for you. Then you'll finally anger up and move to Telegram or another identical shit. And the cycle will repeat until people get tired of this. Or until they get old and the new generation does things right from the start, wondering what the old idiots were thinking.
While the Wayforward Machine[0] is more commentary on our current trajectory than real speculation about the future, I thought that it might spur some discussion of the incentives and drivers which might move us in more and less dystopian ways.

I think decentralization, aided by consumer internet links with symmetric bandwidth could be a strong driver to limit the value in collecting PII and user behavior.
That’s what the citations and references are for.
Some EV brands are clearly frauds, but with Ford introducing its second EV next year, calling all of EVs a bubble is a huge leap.
I'm beginning to think I was lucky to have the chemistry teachers that I had. I recall my main chem teacher saying that we students could not do this experiment ourselves as we'd likely blind ourselves. He was very particular in the amount he selected and mentioned it'd go off like a bomb if too much was selected.

BTW, the lab table in our tiered lecture room was nearly 6ft/2m from the first row of seats and for the exercise the teacher had a sheet of perspex in front of the experiment (perhaps it'd happened to him with an earlier lot of students).

I’ve replied elsewhere in how I reported the support overhead for older browser versions.

While one could fudge numbers once, we could get accustomed to misrepresenting in the future too. Once users/customers discover this, they’ll always keep second-guessing us. Trust once lost would be difficult to regain. It is better to how customers that they need not waste money anymore and shouldn’t support/facilitate users using insecure and outdated technology anymore either. They could give it a positive spin and get good PR too.
I don't think the person you are replying to was saying that this was for sure an instance, but it definitely pays to view even Wikipedia with a critical eye.

Wikipedia has gatekeepers and wikilawyers that keep highly contested/popular and even some niche pages from being altered even with sources. Many have been through it, it happened to me.
