Because the fossil fuel industry won’t fund it? Cars are financially beneficial for them.

The article says it has no conflicts of interest, but I’m very skeptical.
>> then we need a term for when code race conditions are possible but rare enough

There is no such thing as "rare enough". Random or probabilistic bugs are one of the worst things software can have.
Assuming all the technical stuff is done, I wonder is it sad to live in "fantasy". Space is so massive take forever to get anywhere so can go "inwards" with virtual worlds. Does "being real" matter. Personal interest/values.
Y'all can always move to America to avoid the next peasent revolt.
Lotta software developers out there at non-FAANG companies getting paid FAANG or near-FAANG wages. Probably more software engineers making 250k+ outside of those five companies than inside them.

Also I kinda question the assertion that these companies being active and important in thirty years would suggest something untoward. In most other industries, the "Blue Chip" companies are pretty durable. JPM's lineage goes back to 1871, and that fact does not prevent its current employees from being well-compensated.
I’m under 30 and certainly wouldn’t relegate L0pht to a mere footnote in history.
Ah, I see the misconception - "high throughput" means a system processes a lot of stuff in a given span of time, not necessarily that each individual item is processed quickly. But many people use it like the latter.
That would be easier with Forth :).
Phoenix afaik doesn't have medallions so that part doesn't apply, but from what you describe there definitely are market inefficiencies.

People don't like getting ripped off or having the fare change while en-route. Uber/Lyft at least told you upfront what you would pay and it was generally much less expensive than cabs. This increased ridership in most cities and thereby made it more likely drivers would have a passenger waiting at the destination.
At least that idea is better than the other way some people want to "improve" math notation: drop it and write everything in "plain English". Like anyone who does even basic algebra would really benefit from that.

"The position of a particle at some point in time is its original position added to the product of its initial velocity and the time added to half the acceleration times the square of the time. Now, if I tell you the initial position, initial velocity, current position, and acceleration, how much time has passed? Remember, you can't use algebra anymore because we banned it in favor of 'plain English', also good luck communicating your ideas to people who don't understand English."
L0pht put hacking and infosec on the map for arguably hundreds of people. They were and still are incredibly talented.
I don't think anyone is saying those 3 billion people doesn't need to exists, no one. It's just give education teach people to have healthy families, the constant is a balance of population given by health, nature and economics.
Yep that's the one! I'll be spinning it up again with the recipe section this week :)
I was going to object to your "under 30" quip, then realized I haven't been under 30 for quite a while. Oops.
Presumably checking for damage. This was 1963, so about all that could be said of the safety of spaceflight, given that the USSR and US weren't really sharing data, was that Yuri Gagarin and John Glenn didn't immediately keel over dead.
I frequent the bandcamp daily blog, and I follow a few people on bandcamp who tend to actively buy music I’m interested in (I just go through the users who have bought an album I like, then I look at their other purchases). On top of that bandcamp sends me a weekly “you may be interested in” email that often has at least one thing I’m actually interested in.

I read some blogs. But overall I discover a lot on bandcamp - more than I can process.
This doesn't work. First of all, you'd still have the same mass of CO2, so the insulating effect wouldn't change. Those molecules would still be there to interfere with infrared radiation trying to escape into space.

Second of all, you're talking about gargantuan quantities of oxygen (or nitrogen, or whatever). CO2 is roughly 1/2500 of the atmosphere, so to achieve a given amount of dilution, you can remove one CO2 molecule or add 2500 other molecules.

Finally, I don't know what the side effects of increasing global air pressure would be, but I'm sure there would be significant effects!
A better question: could you find ten thousand qualified people in 2021 who really want to go through 4 rounds of interviews with a company that's quantitatively proven to promote human misery?
I hope they have success creating an open-source community around the hardware, the other comparable ecosystems like Purism or Pinebook have a very specific public with much less "consumer-friendly" hardware that will never even offer a Windows version. It would be really cool to see people with Windows Framework easily finding a tutorial to migrate to Arch linux (in contrast to searching for a specific driver of the XPS model xyz).

PS: waiting for shipment to Brazil (and maybe a 15'' model)
This is why being in a safe and comfortable environment with a friend that you trust is very important!

Bad trips are intense emotional states, but can be powerful learning experiences too. A safe, loving environment can let someone work through the thoughts/emotions/memories that may underlie their depression. It makes it easier to see the negative patterns and find a different path.

Bad trips are mainly Really Bad when you're in both a bad mindset _and_ a bad setting, whether that's due to bad vibes, bad friends, being out in public, etc.
2000+ words to say... not very much at all, whether about natural experiments in general or this one in particular. This is not the place to look for an explanation of this year's economics Nobel (or "Nobel", as you prefer).

It is very hard to say something definitive and causal about the effects of immigration on wages. It is extremely difficult to say which way the causal relationships run. You can easily tell yourself stories which "explain" effects in any direction.

A situation in which several tens of thousands of low-wage workers are added plausibly at random to Miami is about as good as it gets. (Or: if you have a better setting in mind, tell me and let's publish something in the American Economic Review!)

Card himself would not say that his study is perfect or that it should be the last word on the topic. If you have a better setting, he would be the first to welcome your paper on the topic.

Look elsewhere than this post if you want to understand the recent Nobel Prize. The Nobel Committee prepares a beginner's backgrounder on the topic available here: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2021/pop...

If you're remembering the date correctly then you're wrong about the client; the Second Life client was open sourced in Jan or Feb 2007.

It's still called "opensim" informally, but the formal name has (since 07 or so) always been "opensimulator".

Development around the client hasn't closed but a lot of enthusiasm around both the opensimulator server and the second life client has quieted down, in part due to restrictions put in place by Linden Lab on 3rd party viewers sometime around 2012 (for the sake of "shared experience").
I love wireguard. It's fast, easy to configure, set up and use.

Pro tip - piVPN can be used to set up VM's to quickly create wireguard VPN servers too. It's not just good for raspberry Pi's :)

Sometimes papers are technical and don't need to pretend that they are telling an exciting story of interest to a general audience. It isn't just a math issue.

The .NET community largely grew up having a "source of truth" for best practice, architecture, etc. Microsoft shaped not just the language, but the culture around the language, having vast influence on how people learnt the language, the processes on how they worked and naturally used this to push MS technologies. MS tried to own the whole stack, and thus they had libraries and frameworks for much of what you would try and do with .NET.

While competing against other companies this strategy worked as MS were larger and able to have a more complete solution. This was enabled by their huge share of desktop computing with Windows. However as the shift to Web and Mobile came, the number of platforms grew (especially outside of MS controlled ones), and the centrally planned .NET experience was breaking down. MS's centrally planned competitors threw in the towel or had gone bankrupt. Java was opened, Sun was out of business and the smaller software development offerings had long since tried to incorporate open source, or had switched to growing only through milking the existing customer base.

Microsoft saw the change coming, as well as the move to the cloud, and was able to see the cost involved with competing against open source, and started their shift to open source. The foundation is their attempt to both reduce their relative investment, by having users start taking on some of the development while controlling the core of the language. Keep in mind this was the time .Net was becomming cross platform, with linux becoming a major hosting option.

Due to these origins it has lead to the foundation being in a central position in the .Net ecosystem. As such if your library is part of the foundation, its likely to be THE standard solution in the .NET space. So the advantage you get is you get to participate, and if your project joins, it becomes the de-facto standard for .NET. That credibility is likely worth a bit for consultants and definitely paints you as an expert in that field. The downside is you cede control. I am not arguing that it is worth it for most people / projects, however I can understand why people want to be involved.
Seems to me that darkening the snow would be a much bigger impact than the very small amount of carbon in the algae.
My dad built one of the large Heathkit 27”(?) console TVs, I remember being 3 or 4 and watching my cat chase the airplanes around the TV in Spitfire, noting how weird it was, an animal chasing electronic dots around the screen that they’d never catch.
> The government has no business banning the way private companies operate.

That's, like, exactly what the business of government is.

> There is no quantifiable harm.

If this is in reference to the particular mode of operation suggested to be regulated upthread (where it might, arguably, be true) rather than the generality in the previous sentence (where it clearly is false), then its an argument against the particular regulation, not against government regulation of private business patterns generally.
Not quite the same, as generally speaking people who eat meat don't make it a personality trait.
Yeah I thought hashcat pretty much superseded it, especially with its amazing GPU acceleration.

Nevertheless, nice of them to open source it.
Note that Python's poor single-threaded performance compared to single-threaded performance of other languages makes the ability to multi-thread that much more crucial. You can sometimes get away with 10x slower code but not 100x slower.

I've had to rewrite my Python code in another language in 3 different projects already (multi-processing wasn't an option) and I'm not even a heavy user. Removing GIL would be very welcome.

Depends on what you consider real? I've read in the past that to some extent what someone experiences in virtual can imprint on the mind in a way that it's almost indistinquishable from reality.

Memory is very malleable, so in a sense it seems like it's a it's a faint distinction?
I just ran this test, I came up with different results. gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0

This could be running on a Spectre/Meltdown patched CPU.
I'd also call out git-stack [0] as an option

Visualize current tree:

$ git stack

Show what the ideal tree will be post-pull:

$ git stack --pull --dry-run

Perform pull and show the actual tree (e.g. we don't handle merge-conflicts):

$ git stack --pull

In addition, the above command snapshots the state of all of your branches and prints out the command to undo everything in case something is off

What's the limitation stopping you from using perf in the same way as you would before? I've never had the need to try to do that.
"of the content" meaning it's not just a sha-N of the file. Unless I misremember the IPFS protocol.
Of course. FB openly ignores the GDPR and will be happy to pay a fine if the EU manages to ever show enough courage to levy one of significance.

Facebook trains its models on your data, in particular your pictures and (in the future) your video - your behavior, voice, face, etc. But feat not, your name will not flow directly in the algorithms (until you sign up an account - and the rest of your data is already there!)

And as presenti openly (and quite arrogantly) stated just one post up: There is no conceivable way for you to ever do anything about it, except if FB stops operations of this kind.
Which they can't, of course, because it is the very basis of their business model.
> If you don't like the company's decisions, you should stop working for the company - easy enough.

That's exactly the threat here, but with an opportunity for the company to alter its decision making if it wants the labor.
Great project, has been going strong for over a decade. I had the pleasure of working on the physics engine for an early version.
You're starting to get the idea:

Qubes OS assumes that it's impossible to ensure every single application you will be running on your computer is secure. Therefore, the best way to secure your computer is to isolate all of the applications as much as possible so the exploitation of one doesn't lead to compromise of another or the entire system. Through (heavily minimized) Xen VMs is the most basic way Qubes seeks to provide this isolation. However, it goes much further than that into the networking stack, audio stack, GUI stack, and much more. This all lies on a security principle known as "security by isolation" or "security by compartmentalization".

You typically have different "qubes" (VMs) for all of your different day-to-day tasks/activities. Although, not necessarily each process.

By all means give it a try, you won't regret it!

I have read plenty of science papers and this is extremely far from universally true.
Thanks, quite a bit of coffee is now on my keyboard...
This is pure fear mongering. There is no way for currently running nuclear power plant to make Western Europe (!) uninhabitable. Worst meltdown is that - meltdown. It stays where it happens.
I never tried it, but at one point after DOOM was open sourced someone made a version that supposedly allowed you to do admin tasks in a doom like program.

I had to look it up -it's something I never used myself; here it is https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Doom_SysAdmin_Tool

So that's ...close?
I quite frequently find -O3 to produce slower code than -O2.

This is not actually surprising: the reliable operations are placed in 2, and the dodgy ones in 3. It is possible, even common, for 3 to be faster, but you can't rely on it. You have to measure.
This morning, flipped on the London Foosball game to run in the background. When no local commercials aired, I assumed someone was just gonna get fired. All that showed was a fancy placeholder graphic with a local affiliate code.

One less itch for my brain to scratch - thanks!
> but essentially we ran the test once without problems which doesn’t say anything.

No, we ran the test over a thousand times (including research reactors). We have been running tests for over 70 years.

Honestly, it just sounds like you don't know very much about nuclear physics let alone nuclear reactors physics. Nor does it sound like you know much about statistics. You are being extremely confident while demonstrating a lack of knowledge.

Honestly, why talk with such confidence about a field you haven't worked in (even adjacent to) nor studied?
Why study something outdated when there is a newer, modern and a lot more sane alternative out there?

I can understand if you now have years worth of expertise you are invested in defending. It's selfish, but I understand your position. For anyone else? Suggesting they invest in IPSec vs. something more modern is just nuts.
It's getting sadder and sadder to see people enjoying these fake restorations. Eventually we'll have so much of a mess that the original source will be forgotten or lost.
Well I certainly hope Netflix doesn't capitulate - maybe they can play up the controversy in the most sigma fashion possible and sign Dave Chappelle for another 10 specials to "respond" to the controversy.
Try looking at some older posts that have had time to accumulate high quality responses. The “remind me later” and Weekly Review features work quite well, if you have a Reddit account.
Bypasses exist in the US. I can’t believe they are never created in other countries that build highways.
Seems like a likely reason why they’re doing this, wasn’t the whistleblower supposed to testify in Europe? Convenient timing. They’re likely trying to bribe the EU here with the promise of jobs.
The worst aspects of America are hyper covered globally in fact. Here in the US you can't get away from stories like Ferguson while they're going on, they covered every possible angle about it and all of the coverage was harsh. It was massively covered and exceptionally public, as such things usually are in the US. The whole world immediately knows about it when something like that happens in the US.

The whole world knows whatever America's warts are at a given moment in time. You see it all over HN every single day, in every other thread. If something happens in the US of consequence, hop over to BBC.co.uk and they're guaranteed to be covering it, as will the world's press.

What exactly is hidden?

Occupy Wall Street was in the headlines prominently for two years. It's still frequently being talked about precisely because of that vast coverage: everyone knows about it.

The Biden laptop, well FoxNews & Co. have covered that to death. The right side of politics talked about it endlessly for months. They're still talking about it.

Iran murdered thousands of protestors in 2019 - possibly as bad as Tiananmen Square - and it was only barely covered by the mainstream media. They don't even bother talking about that event now and it certainly won't get the forever coverage that Tiananmen Square has received across decades.

> democratically elected Mossadegh

Mossadegh wasn't democratically elected. That's one of the great lies of recent history. The people of Iran did not elect him. He was installed by a monarchy, the Shah of Iran, and backed by the equivalent of fuedal lords that dominated the Majlis.

"On 28 April 1951, the Shah appointed Mosaddegh as Prime Minister after the Majlis (Parliament of Iran) nominated Mosaddegh by a vote of 79–12."

What would you say if Netflix called their bluff and just fired all the people that walked out?

This reminds me more of the student protests we used to see, where they wanted to walk out of classes or miss exams but also wanted special treatment so they didn't fail the class.

I've got no problem with not working at a place whose values you dont agree with, but I see this kind of action (and similar things at other tech companies) more as expecting your employer to pay you to undermine them. I could be wrong.
Hi! I agree it's hard to build a review/rating system that is both objective and not harsh for product authors.
Time to check for openings at Netflix. I'll gladly take their place and I'm sure that I'm not alone.
How much?

Until there are numbers, as in qualified by data, its all irrational. It doesn't matter that something costs money. What's important is how much more it costs (the difference).

It's kind of an open secret, but retail traders hopping onto meme stocks like DPZ and TSLA is, counterintuitively to an outsider, actually very profitable for HFTs and market makers.

A good example might be - imagine you are a car dealership, so serving as a rough approximation of a market maker. What kind of entities do you want to trade against? Other car dealerships (informed counterparties), or your average suburban minivan owner (uninformed counterparties)?

It's immediately obvious - the rationale is that when you trade against uninformed order flow, your measure of adverse selection is far lower than if you trade against informed order flow. Your average suburban minivan owner is going to be more time-sensitive and price-insensitive than another car dealership who is willing to look high and low for better deals.

Adverse selection, in this context, is that of the orders you're offering to the market, only the subset which have the greatest likelihood of immediately losing you money are selected. From the perspective of your counterparty, they will only lift your offer if they think it will make them an immediate unrealized profit. Keeping track of your adverse selection is an extremely important part of HFT - in fact, HFTers will try to identify informed vs uninformed order flow and only try to trade against the latter, to reduce immediate unrealized losses due to adverse selection.

This is why PFOF (payment for order flow) exists. It's because companies like Virtu think that traders on RobinHood have no clue what they're doing, and they [Virtu] can come in and eat all the alpha. Virtu doesn't frontrun RH orderflow - instead, they get what's called "first look" at the flow. They get to decide to either immediately fill the offer, or let it hit the real market. From the perspective of a RH user, this is really no harm, because whether Virtu trades against you, or your offer gets lifted against the broader market, doesn't really matter to you.
