> Also, let's be fair, most of the "critical reporting" under Trump was not "The administration forecasts x% economic growth, but experts disagree" variety, it was more like "Wait, did the president just tell people to drink bleach, or was it supposed to be a joke, in which case which part was a joke and which wasn't?" variety.

Nonsense. Certainly, the outrageous statement you mentioned was critiqued, but relatively mundane ones were too, such as the president's prediction of vaccines before the end of 2020 (correct), the president's desire for low interest rates, the president's desire for tariffs, the president's desire to end wars, etc.

Many many articles were written directly critiquing boring parts of Trump's economic policies.

Here's a 'fact check' from the New York Times when Trump announced he wanted lower interest rates:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/19/business/economy/trump-in...

For example, here is Trump's statement:

> Because of the faulty thought process we have going for us at the Federal Reserve, we pay much higher interest rates than countries that are no match for us economically. In other words, our interest costs are much higher than other countries, when they should be lower. Correct!

There is only one 'fact' mentioned here, which is that our interest rates are higher than other countries. The times admits this is true. It says:

> It is true that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates nine times since 2015, leaving the federal funds rate, its main policy tool, at 2.25 to 2.5 percent. That is, indeed, far higher than rates in advanced economies, including the eurozone and Japan, where some policy rates remain in negative territory.

It then goes on to 'fact check' the opinion based parts, and instead of disputing fact, it excuses the feds actions.

Can you find me a NYT 'fact check' for the Biden's administrations claims the inflation is transitory? Of course not, because for a democratic president, the NYT extends the privilege of not fact checking one's opinions
But are they? I dont read NYT often but everytime I do I'm able to identify the frame withouth much difficulty.

Journalists have to write about everything, and they arent experts at anything. My hypothesis is thqt the lazyiest of em just become activists and make this a way of life.

If you have any doubt about this, write any of the most common names in major publications in google and try find their twitter.

Having good information is very difficult, and it typically involves paying for it, or accessing specialist publications, or niche ones.

It is one of those unconfortable truths.
Drill tactics, like practicing pawns-only exercises and others that get you to use a small group of pieces in concert and without the distraction of a full game, to quickly get a feel for the kinds of moves & patterns that are good for them, and the kinds that are bad. Then, in actual games, apply that while focusing on advancing while keeping all your pieces guarded by at least one other, nearly all the time, while projecting lines of attack as far as possible (queen, bishops, rooks). Then focus on getting good at checkmating—it can be weirdly hard to pin down a king in the late game without practice, and getting better at spotting and exploiting early mate opportunities is one of the biggest level-ups you can get, early on.

I wouldn't worry about memorizing openings and such until after you feel like you're hitting a wall with all that.
I don’t think he’d be in hot water if he simply developed a tool to hide the news feed.

Developing a tool to automate API interactions and sending some of the user data to a 3rd party server (he claims to verify it was working) is a big no-no on any platform.

Look at it from the countries perspective, why should it let some foreign corporation dictate how transactions are performed on their platform (where their platform is all business in their national jurisdiction).

I suppose what I meant here was that Theranos was so successful at misrepresenting facts to industry and the consumer that they were able to reach meteoric heights based on absolutely nothing at all. It's in that way that I mean that Theranos exemplified dishonesty in SV tech.

Of course, unlike Uber/Google/Crunchy, Theranos was breaking the law in the service of a product that not only didn't existed, but couldn't. That meant the company had to eventually implode, but its entire existence was fueled by the same sort of dishonesty SV startups have (fairly or no) gained a reputation for.

No, just multiple CX6-DX

I'm currently stuck because the only boards we can find that have enough PCIe lanes exposed to do 800g (64 for NICs + close to 64 for NVME, with them more or less equally divided between sockets) have only 3 xgmi links to the 2nd socket, rather than 4. That causes uneven loading on the xgmi links, which causes saturation issues well below 800g

EDIT: I didn't realize the CX7 specs were public; I no longer feel quite so special :)

The first question I want to ask is why is HN filled with globalist agenda apologists?

There is no shortage of anything. True shortages are determined by nature, not by the economic manipulations of financiers and globalists, which means that most of the shortages are the consequences of policy decisions not natural events.

Take something such as the shipping shortage. During their Covid crisis a lot of shipping capacity was taken of the markets. Some companies actually destroyed some of their ships.

18 months later there is a shortage of shipping capacity, alleged. I don't think I am that bright, but if whole loads of shipping capacity are taken of the market in what is bound to be a temporary downturn, is it surprising that there will be shortages?

Lets take the truck driver shortage in the UK. The UK benefited from cheap labour from Eastern Europe as a result of Brexit, which led many qualified British drivers to give up the job because the pay was shit. To be honest even the cheaper labour from Eastern Europe considered it to be shit. Then you have Brexit followed by Covid, and many of the drivers from Eastern Europe have seen that the grass is not so green on the British side and don't see themselves coming back.

As for the truck drivers there about tens of thousands of fully qualified HGV drivers who simply not interested in the job. There is no shortage of HGV drivers, there is a shortage of employers who are willing to pay decent money not just in the short term, but in the long term to get the qualified drivers to commit. Funny how the media never mentions that. Truck drivers need to take a medical to get on the road, and even the NHS doctors who are supposed to be doing them are not doing them anymore. Funny how that never gets mentioned by the media.

In effect industry should stop blaming the govt for their own questionable pay policies. The country of zero hour contracts is feeling a labour shortage. Surprise!!

Then you have gas shortages. Remember Nordstream and Nordstream II, which the US government did its best to sabotage? Well Germany needs more gas and it isn't fully up yet. Are US gas companies ready to fill the gap?

Then of course you have this manufactured pandemic. Just because there is a new illness around doesn't make it a pandemic, a definition which was changed by WHO in order to serve a global agenda. The "developed" world adapted a "treatment" policy which involved taken painkillers and hoping that the disease would not develop enugh to warrant hospital admission. Even then they cooked the definitions to allow every positive test to labelled as actual disease even if there are no clinical symptoms, and use it as an excuse to warrant economic lockdowns.

Announcement of shortages isn't about real shortages. It is simply a way of priming consumers to expect higher prices in the future, as though demand has risen when it hasn't.

It is time the general public stopped being hoodwinked by mainstream media who are simply the mouthpieces of Big Finance which has not taken over Govt in the Western world.
I can easily come up with more than 100 English words for snow. I'm sure someone who speaks English in a more temperate area wouldn't know has many. The difference between slush and sleet is important to me. Then there are slangs like powder that are just a way of saying great for downhill skiing (I don't ski: to me powder is a meaningless slang that I hear others use - those who ski may have more words than me to describe how good the snow is for skiing)
> Anyway, this is really a matter of implementation, not a language issue.

That's kind of what people are getting at in this whole conversation though isn't it, ecosystems around languages matter. They can't be an afterthought.
Sure, they have the right to terminate his account.

But to demand removal of the tool, demand he never makes another tool, and to threaten ruinous litigation if he doesn't comply, even though they know it's illegal to do so?

That goes well beyond shopkeepers rights.
True. The problems with Microsoft never got politicized to this level. But that's perhaps a sign of the times.
Mine is pretty stable but anytime the cable modem gets fried by lightning the new one gets a new prefix. I wish it was tied to my account somehow.

Setting the "wait for the US government to pass effective relief legislation" option aside for the moment, restaurants are a local business with local customers. Increasing patronage seems a fairly obvious way to support them to me and as a bonus, I don't have to cook.

As someone with nearly two decades of experience with Python and who has deployed it in production in high impact scenarios, I’d like to nuance the above for people who think Python is only good for prototyping and that you have to rewrite in a “proper” programming language. This is the kind of blanket thinking to avoid.

I think the rewriting part is only necessary if there’s some characteristic in your use case that you need that Python doesn’t provide — like raw computational speed, low latencies etc. If you’re a senior engineer familiar with Python, these trade offs are always front of mind.

For the majority of software I’ve developed, these characteristics were not essential. Python was a good choice for 80-90% of all of the important software products I’ve ever written.

For many data science projects, maintaining large code bases in Python is often the optimal decision (rather than reinventing the wheel and writing your own data frame and machine learning libraries, or using immature poorly maintained ones in other languages — for data manipulation and scientific algorithms, these libraries are highly optimized in Python anyway since the underlying code is in C or Fortran). Python is also a good choice for data engineering pipelines.

Where I might hesitate to recommend Python is when you have to write web services or desktop apps or any kind of application which requires speed or scale that cannot be handed down to a lower level library in Python.

Also for very large code bases, static typing truly helps to keep things sane, especially when you have different teams working on different parts of the codebase — with statically typed languages, no type checks in unit tests are needed, and refactoring is much more solid and error free. Python’s type annotations are an attempt to move in this direction, but static languages truly excel at type integrity (which are sometimes the cause of subtle errors in Python).

Otherwise my experience has often been that Python is a good first or second choice, depending on what you’re doing. Making that choice correctly is what sets senior/principal engineers apart from junior folks.
I wish there was more consideration these days about certain platforms being considered so ubiquitous that censorship on their platform is recognized as the free speech issue it is.

So much I hear the classic "they're a private company they can do what they want," or "just build your own platform." But at every level, alternative platforms get kneecapped, whether it be from app stores, or hosts, or the big guys not letting you link to them. Some of this is in part to it attracting edgelords who were banned from the mainstream platforms and being unable to keep up with moderation from a sudden influx of them making it "their place."

I'm not a lawyer so I don't exactly know how this would work, but I think that someone is undoubtedly at a disadvantage to share their message depending on whether or not they have access to social media platforms. And the criteria for getting banned is only continuing. Look no further than YouTube's new vaccine guidelines, which have gotten plenty reasonable people (including doctors), who are just trying to ask question, banned without recourse.
I simply don't open Facebook unless I want to check a person's profile or view an event/page. But it's awful that Facebook would do something like this in response to what I can only imagine was (legally) totally acceptable use of their API.

I also wonder if this tool broke any particular rule of FB's terms, or if the decision was more along the lines of, "you make us lose money, this app bad. Ban"
That's a horrible analogy.

This is like being banned from a store because someone publishes a blog that publicizes store discounts and then also having that store threaten sue you so you can't even write about their discounts.

There is no reason to defend Facebook hete. People should have a right to modify their web browsers and help other people modify their web browsers.
For what it's worth, there's a plethora of scripts around that will assist you with this operation[1].

I find that a small, but nonzero, percentage of small business and organizations ONLY advertise on Facebook. Since I don't use it, I cannot access their pages (Facebook throws up a full screen blocker that I have to disable from the browser console by tweaking the DOM). Good thing Facebook isn't bigger.
I get your metaphor but a store doesn't follow you 24/7 and keeps nagging you to check it. Unless it's Amazon.

At least with Amazon you're spending tangible things: money + time (browsing) so you can feel the dent in your wallet/credit card eventually, which signals you to take it easy.

With Facebook most people spend countless hours and there's no party telling you to chill out. Everything is enforcing you to stay on the platform. Even Netflix has some a screen popping up after 2-3 hours of binging to make sure you're still watching, giving some friction to the consumer.

There's no noticable friction built into Facebook.
Ofcourse, the only right course of action would be for Mark to fire himself!
Agree. Everyone who is on Facebook has email, and a mobile phone. If sending (or answering) an email or a text message or making a phone call is too much work, what kind of friendship are you really worried about maintaining?
This makes me wonder if the older generations with tech careers should feel less pressured by the newer generations as it seems there is actually a huge drop in knowledge - but this may be superficial knowledge that's easily learned?

Does the younger generations actually need to know how a computer or the internet works, and is the pool of knowledge actually growing just not at a comparable rate to the entire population?

I know many of us wether we are programmers, designers or STEM people in general all started tinkering by ourselves or with friends on a computer, in terminals, in Photoshop, with HTML or with games and modding on anything from Commodore 64's to Arduinos today - what is going to happen when kids aren't doing this anymore, or maybe they are but just in new ways?
I honestly don't get why companies cut orders. Just keep producing. If you have too much inventory then you get to reduce production whenever it is convenient. If you cut production beforehand you just get screwed.
It is, and it would have been illegal for any Facebook employee with a ham radio license to use ham radio to contact another employee for any business reason during the outage. We don't have any evidence that that happened.

Where I live there is a General Motors amateur radio club. The club is not owned or run by GM, but GM sponsors it by allowing repeater equipment on top of their building, and presumably monetary and other donations over the decade. Many of the members are current and former GM employees but you don't have to be affiliated with GM in any way (or even have an amateur radio license) in order to join.

There are lots of amateur radio clubs associated with a company for sponsorship/community outreach reasons, I assume the Facebook one is the same. (And I have to assume because they don't seem to have a website that I could find.)

To reply to another comment in this thread, you can break nearly all FCC rules if you need help in a life-threatening situation. Facebook being down was NOT a life-threatening event as defined by the FCC, even if their services being unavailable indirectly lead to loss of life.

The feature you're talking about, DDIO, is worse than useless for our application. It wastes cache ways on I/O that has long, long, long since been evicted from the cache by the time we go to look at it.

It might be helpful for a low-latency polling sort of scenario, but with interrupt coalescing all it does is waste cache.

As others have mentioned here in greater detail, Nope. Even in the U.S, the vast majority of Facebook's users don't give a flying shit about the dirty details. They just want to use the messaging and "social" stuff that Insta/FB provide, so long as they work for their daily needs. As for much of the rest of the world, FB properties are sadly the end all and be all of communications and organizing events. Even less reason to care about a major scandal or two or dozen.
A couple of months ago I was playing with BackBlaze and Oracle cloud. For some reason, mounting a Backblaze storage (using FUSE S3 and BB S3 compatibility ) in Oracle cloud was terribly slow. When I tried exactly the same in an AWS EC2 instance it was quite fast. No idea why that happened.

It is bonkers. But the only way we can even have that video is because the molecules are being frozen in the crystalline lattice.

As far as I know there exists no recording of actual molecules in a liquid (except maybe for something extremely viscous).

The video reminds me this photo: https://petapixel.com/2010/10/27/first-ever-photograph-of-a-...

It shows first ever photo of a human being on a busy street.

But you would not be able to say so, because the street looks completely empty.

The only way we can even see the person is because they stood still for long enough to leave imprint. Other than this one person, everybody else on this busy street moved so fast there is no recognizable imprint of them left. Hence the street looks empty.

> The purpose of tax advantaged retirement accounts is to reduce the number of destitute people in retirement. It achieves this goal by providing a tax incentive on regular investment for people who would not otherwise invest.

The purpose of tax advantage retirement accounts when originally introduced by ERISA was to give employees of private companies a safety net in cases where their pension defaulted or when a pension wasn't offered in the first place. There's really no mention of it being specifically for people who are destitute or would not otherwise invest. Traditional IRAs are available for everyone, even high earners, no gatekeeping.

Traditional IRAs are taxed on withdrawal and function much like other investments.
