Precisely. A billion ways to get things wrong, and if you get it wrong it doesn't work. And the info to get it to work is unlikely to be in the patents. You have to have folks who worked with this stuff before, which is difficult, but doable.

And as far as "innovating" in this field, we're almost at the end of the run - there are, as far as I'm aware, no processes planned beyond 3nm, and even 3nm is astonomically complex and expensive.

> You'd have to re-negotiate every time you work with a new client. Are they on 9-5? Or 10-6? When can we schedule that weekly call? Businesses have no incentive to go through this headache, so they won't.

My experience is that these meeting coordinations still have to happen. Even within your own company, in the same office building.
I'm not familiar with tig. Is it convenient for staging chunks of code or even individual lines? Interactive rebase including re-splitting commits? Cherry-picking stuff?

While working on kernel I sometimes get "looks nice, but can you reorder and re-split this 15-patches series in completely different way?" and magit is a big time-saver for that. It wasn't as useful on my previous jobs where 1k-lines commits with message like "Implement feature X" were the norm, though.
It doesn't. It simply makes the argument that deep religious beliefs are not different from other deep beliefs. At it's face, this appears to be a pretty reasonable take.

> However, Khuong is unconvinced by the proposal, since enterprises would have the hassle of re-enabling a feature they still need

Enterprises don't need one-word DNS lookup for intranet access. I work for a large global enterprise, and internal URLs have FQDNs, save for a URL shortener, and we always have http:// in those URLs precisely because the browsers we use won't resolve them otherwise.
Perhaps after the for-profit company scales and goes ipo it is much less likely to value anything but money, however such absolutist view doesn't apply to many small businesses that are often an extension of interests. Not everybody dreams about making a successful startup and selling it ;-).
Even this system would be a huge leap forward, because we'd go from a whitelist model controlled by a monopoly to a blacklist model controlled by a monopoly. The sheer effort of keeping up to maintain the absolute user abuse by apple and google is infintitely higher than what we have now.
I wouldn't even want to restrict this to religion, there are other topics like taxation, climate change, capital punishment, gun laws, and what not where I can easily imagine that the majority opinion might be flawed because people don't think the issues through carefully enough. And I would guess that it is actually not too uncommon that politics acts against the majority opinion or at least the opinion of large groups. I don't think that this is necessarily bad, after all they are - at least supposed to be - the experts. And that is why I commented to begin with, there is probably some interesting philosophy going on in this area as the majority opinion is not necessarily the correct opinion.

> And "corporate culture" there is none they are not your family there is no culture they'll fire you in a heartbeat

This isn’t what corporate culture means. It’s a set of shared behaviours and norms. The language used, approaches taken, behaviours tolerated and condoned and discouraged. Some companies have coherency in this. Others don’t.

Facebook does, it’s consistent, and it’s horrifying.
30 seconds of code: Snippets for your development needs (JS, React, CSS, Python)
Sure, but ‘synthetic’ is a weird word. At root it just means ‘made via synthesis’. Rayon is not made by synthesizing cellulose, though - it is made by extracting natural cellulose. You could say the fibers are synthesized - but cotton needs to go through a spinning process too. Where do you draw the line between ‘synthesis’ and ‘manufacturing’?

Sure, for rayon the cellulose extraction process is chemical, unlike the physical process used to get cellulose fibers out of cotton, but the raw material is still natural, plant grown cellulose.

There are plenty of things that are made by taking natural ingredients, shoving them in a vat of toxic chemicals to transform them, then taking them out to use, which are generally still considered ‘natural’ products: leather, bleached flour, pressure treated wood, dyed cotton…

> One issue is there's a significant conflict of interest between their device and CPU businesses. Apple left them precisely because Samsung is a competitor in handsets, and other handset manufacturers are also wary of buying from them for the same reason.

I don't think what bothered Apple is relevant to other phone makers. Case in point, Qualcomm doesn't mind having Samsung fab their SoCs, and even their modems, a domain where Samsung has repeatedly tried to catch up!

Anyway in the current Android smartphone landscape, everyone is using ARM reference CPU designs.
>I believe that David Graeber was an Anarchist not a Marxist.

Anarchism can be capitalist or communism. Anarcho-communism for example.

In a proper free market, the telephone poles would have 50 wires, most of which wouldn't be functioning. Afterall, how would anyone provide you internet? Without government regulation any startup has to put their own wires up. This leads to rats nests of wires. Tons of expensive wires being put up for customers you used to have. Free market obviously doesn't work, you must come in and fix that.

Communism on the otherhand is misuse of people. Everyone must be employed full time in communism. In the USSR, there would be multiple cashiers you would have to go through. Just to ensure people have something to do. You also have to have government slaves. USSR had the gulags. China has the uyghurs. Vietnam has their slaves in forced labour centers.
That had nothing to do with wokeness, it's an obvious bias in the observation. Outside of careerists circles, which is a tiny group, things are quite different. The idea that life is plannable is again an indicator of a particular background and culture, that is representative of only a fraction of humans.
Oh perhaps. Maybe I misunderstand the situation but I thought if it wasn’t being circulated for years it would be considered unaccounted for.

Does anyone genuinely believe any for profit company gives two shits about its customers?

They care as far as the customer spends money (or watches ads blah) but as long as people keep coming, no one really cares for the customers.

Who believes that Ronald mcdonald is here to help the customers make the best choice for the customer?

This is just the way, friends and family care for each other.
lol. Must be fun having your tongue so far up Musk's ass.
"Their own greed and incompetency to listen to experts put them in that position" Maybe, but the article does not provide good evidence for that. In hindsight everything is obvious. One argument that it would have problems with regulations might also not be valid, since if you really manage to build something everybody wants to buy often regulation follows suite to allow for that.
Compute per watt is compute per dollar. If you want more compute, spawn more cores. In this case, it will be cheaper with ARM.
I'm somewhat convinced you can replicate that last feature (staging arbitrary / sub-line pieces of your changes) through ediff-staging (E s), but ediff is a complex tool in itself, and I don't know how to use it properly yet.

And now they don't have health insurance because they can't afford it, and even if they do have it, their deductable is often larger than the entire premium used to be. Whoop-te-do, wonderful government "progress".

Just like the costs skyrocketed when the government got involved in student loans, to the point where some folks now have to pay their loans their entire lives. It used to be that you could fund college through summer jobs. Nowadays even selling a kidney would only cover half a year in some schools.
Seems to have held up in the Utah court of appeals:

“Instead, during trial, the prosecution offered testimony and argument about his refusal. The defense argued that this violated the defendant’s Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, which also prevents the state from commenting on his silence. The court of appeals agreed, and now the state has appealed to the Utah Supreme Court.”

“prevents the state from commenting on his silence” is a link to https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/380/609/

I guess you need to be a bad person from the get-go to be able to keep a smiling face in that place. I mean, it is not even that Facebook employees are forced be necessity to work there. They have plenty of options. It is just that honest work, like say a weapon manufacturer, pays so much less than ratting out your friends and family to Zuckerberg.
Is Your Privacy an Illusion? (Taking on Big Tech)
No because once your money is charged (not you, your money) it is very difficult to get standing to fight it unless you luck out with the judge or something. And no matter the outcome the cop never sees consequences because of qualified immunity.

> Not sure why we do not hand STEM graduates (at least Masters and PhDs) green cards

you don't want to create incentives for people to get into academia for reasons other than interest in academia. From what I've heard (not a scientist), science is in crisis with the rise of bogus researchs & paper mills.

I think transerable work visa should be good enough for security. Once they have establishes a career in a few years, they should be able to get green card via some sort of point system or employer sponsorship.
> When it debuted on the internet in 2004, Facebook seemed like a revolutionary innovation. A way for millions of people to engage with one another on a central virtual platform.

That's quite a load of revisionist history right there. Facebook was neither the first, nor the first large platform or what we today call social network to enable that.

It's differentiating factors were that it was web-based, easy to use, and managed to stick around.
If it makes you feel any better my solid "hardwood" workbench from Gladiator (purchased at Lowes) I use as a standing desk also has some dings and dents! I also figure it's part of the charm.

User's actual opinion may not matter here, at all. Popularity may be self-serving.
You have the constitution setting the framework of what's permissible. Some countries like Germany have portions of the constitution that can't legally be changed, relating to human rights or the state being a democracy.

Of course a sufficiently large majority can just ignore that.
> Another way to frame this topic: intelligence doesn't always lead to impact, and impact is what matters.

Which leads to the example of my career, and the illustration of the two "tech worlds" that now exist. As a "programming engineer," I've written a lot of software tools for other engineers that have expanded the boundaries of what was possible to achieve in usual timeframes. I've (mostly) worked as a programmer in engineering departments, and once the word of these kinds of projects get out, they often get shut down or taken over by IT proper. This has happened either because MY management was psychopathic, or OTHER management was MORE psychopathic.

As a single full-stack developer, I've proven multiple times that I can launch a company-wide-impacting project at 100x the man-speed of a bog standard, outsourced, waterfall-managed IT project. I suspect embarrassment at this fact is why my projects have had such terrible luck politically. And this is my point: the human side -- the politics -- will always trump talent. If you don't "grease the wheels," you're going to have a bad time.

> Luckily I had a job that disabused me of this and taught me to communicate my ideas clearly and persuasively to others.

I have found it even worse than this. Despite clarity, people often hate feeling like you understand things at a level they will never. Sometimes, it's the clarity itself that puts people on their heels. Case in point: My boss and I just asked a group to add an API to get ONE PIECE of data from another, long-established, already-API-driven web site. After SEVERAL meetings about this, they finally came back with an implementation date TWO YEARS after we started asking. Another group on the other side of the world asked ME to implement an API in MY application, to get entire TABLES of information. I did it in 2 days. I cannot stress hard enough that management and other people hate, hate, HATE seeing this sort of discrepancy in ability. But what am I supposed to do? Delay my delivery by months just to make people feel better? Heck, maybe I should.

We nerds like to think that the tech world should be a meritocracy. On the internet of the 90's, it was. PG continues to live in a world where he can elevate insight above politics with money. Many, here, work in companies with proper technical tracks, which rewards insight handsomely. I don't (and won't move). And if you don't, you have to do yourself a favor and deal with that reality, and learn how to play the political game. It's the political game that will determine your impact, and "gate" your technical ability. It sucks to write that out, but it's a truism of the world.
Usually with government systems, they use a lot of commercial off the shelf (COTS) either configured or modified (MOTS) to only use FIPS certified implementation/module.

You'll see technologies like S/MIME, IPSEC, and CAC Cards or other tokens/smartcards.
There will (usually) be something called a Blank Firing Adapter used, which is really nothing more than a small plug which blocks the barrel enough for the gasses from the blank to build up, and provide enough pressure to properly cycle the firearm.

These work well because they don't really require modification of the rifle itself, and are usually painted bright red to aid in identification. Unfortunately that makes them kinda useless for filming purposes.
This is the right strategy. Intel can't survive using the same strategy as GlobalFoundries (giving up high-end fabs).

Intel has two legs. Intel microarchitecture business competes with fabless AMD, Apple, Nvidia, ARM, Qualcomm. And Samsung. Intel's chip manufacturing competes only with TSMC and Samsung in the high-end.

Intel has always been the first and foremost chip manufacturing process company. Intel was founded by chemists. The competitiveness of x86 didn't come from superior chip architecture. It came from superior manufacturing and volume.
There is the more expected value in risking the whole company and betting everything on high-end fabs, process technologies R&D than just competing with fabless. High risk, high reward.
I'm surprised not to see this pop up on Hacker News already. This is a video from the Smarter Every Day channel on Youtube, focusing on privacy. It seems that Destin (the host) and a small team from Columbus university are launching a new initiative called 4Privacy [0] on Kickstarter to develop technology to help users claw back control over their privacy while using the internet.

The video is aimed more at the common user rather than the HN crowd, but I'd be interested to hear what people think of the video and the initiative in general.

Intel rebranded their x nm to be TSMC's y nm. This may seem a bit subversive but it's not ridiculously unreasonable as the nanometre figures are complete bullshit, and the density measures are also sufficiently synthetic as to be mostly useless when comparing a similar node anyway (i.e. there's more to it than just shoving transistors on a chip)

One thing to note is that bamboo is hilariously invasive. moreso than japanese knot weed.

Its has two modes of propagation: spreading its roots(rhsomes) or, at the end of it's life flowering and setting seeds.

So, you should be able to dig up a good chunk of root (dinner plate size) and propagate from that.

A good tool to have is a sharp billhook. its good for managing roots and branches.

That's very absolutist thinking. Just because some solution doesn't solve all the problems outright doesn't mean that it's totally useless. What's the baseline? Using bamboo plywood thing instead of normal plywood? What's the end-goal? Increasing carbon sequestration when building stuff? Reducing ground water pollution? Something else? Where is the bamboo lumber used? How far is it shipped? For what it's used? Et cetera.

Notice though that the article doesn't talk about sustainability, ecology, or being natural at all. It just shows how bamboo lumber is made. Which is interesting in its own right.
