It is a typical arm race. It going on for other types of warfare at the moment, now there is another dimension.

Regarding Petrov, I think there were more than one such cases. I remember reading about a similar case on the US side, afaik the operator that decided against pulling the trigger was disciplined for not following protocol or disobeying orders.

This seems benign compared to nuclear though, as mutual strikes don’t lead to mutual destruction.
It's distressing how casually people can suggest harming a billion people - for actions that the vast majority had nothing to do with.

There must be a process for unpaid bills, whatever that process is they could just enact it at the user's threshold instead of their own threshold. Ideally a soft limit that would disable networking and resource creation and then later a hard limit where your account is wiped out.

Because of the potential overhang before the billing system catches up I think it would be appropriate to lower the service quotas on this type of account. I'm not sure if the customer can lower their own quotas which would be an alternate cost control strategy but a beginner wouldn't know to think of that anyway. The solution with billing alerts is good at a company level but too much for a beginner in my opinion.

I know unexpected costs were a concern for me when I started using AWS as a student in 2008 and it is still a concern for people in the same situation, just with so much more complexity on top of it all. It will be a tiny fragment of their revenue but as time goes on a higher and higher level of expertise is required to get started, even though you can accomplish a lot with just the free tier. The amount of progress they've made on this issue in the last 13 years is just not impressive.
This guy is a complete idiot. So many things wrong with the decision making here I can’t even begin. It violates common sense, all well worn investing maxims, and trading risk management principles.

In terms of options suitability there is no verification process; it’s all based on self-made attestations.

This could happen with nearly any broker. In the past a large trade might have been questioned especially in a newer account. However, with online trading today everything is automated so the human that may have been like “Hey fella, you may want to think this through” is not there anymore.

Blaming the brokerage is just stilly. Here a rank amateur made making very amateur trades with no risk management. You reap what you sow. The derivatives markets are not playthings.

Hmm where do you get that from? I own a 2003 iMac G4 and do not feel Apple owning it 1%. And my latest iPhone can work without any Apple services if I choose so (I don't because they are actually great). If I am locked in the Apple eco-system it is by choice, not by design.
Relationships Between Time Use and Obesity in a Sample of Americans
This is just introductory-level microbiology and immunology and I don’t have time to give the subject the treatment it deserves.

First, as a practical matter, small molecules like antibiotics are really difficult to develop, the repertoire is limited, and toxicity is often a big problem. The possible repertoire of antibodies against a given antigen is astronomical.

In the case of antibiotic resistance, you’re dealing with an active colony of bacteria continually reproducing within one host. In vaccine immunity, reproduction is nil or extremely limited within the host (simplifying white lie), and it is mostly at the host-population level that immune evasion evolves over time, so the population dynamics are totally different.

Edit: I recommend Lange’s Medical Microbiology and Janeway’s Immunobiology for those who are interested enough in learning more.
If you aren't willing to do your part to protect yourself and your community, why should your community protect you, when doing so would endanger others' lives?
When I first thought about this, I also landed on the public bounty method. The problem with that is it lets monied interests own everything. If you, a small creator, make something cool, there is no bounty you can set that Disney can't afford, and once they make it public, they can certainly exploit it better than you can.

As for revenue accounting, it's actually pretty easy (for some definition of easy). If someone else used your IP and you had to sue them, how much would you sue for? Use the same method to calculate your own income. Yeah, it's definitely a jobs program for accountants and lawyers, but overall it provides a strong public benefit.
That's nonsense, I'm perfectly capable of slouching without the assistance of a back rest.

The idea is to disable a satellite in a nicest possible way, in order to look good in the eyes of everyone but the adversary.
In theory you might be right, but we don’t have to guess people have collected actually evidence.

Also, you can’t fake the response from an impending mandate without a mandate. Most people fill out their taxes early, but if taxes were optional then nobody would be filling them out. The test would simply be to look up when a mandate was announced and then when it took effect.
I'm glad you have this setup.. I have resisted the urge to get an ultra wide monitor.

The Sting Interview
At least the death stats need to be considered on an individual basis. If this is something like 30 vaccinated vs 70 unvaccinated deaths per 100,000 people. The numbers are so small that the extra 40 people might simply be people with terminal diseases like last stages of cancer, with extremely weakened state not bothering to get vaxxed and dying of the first thing that gets them, which was covid. It does not necessarily mean the vaccine would have concurred any benefit or saved their life.

If there's simply a large number of people in such situations as I suspect there are. It would be deceptive to extrapolate to the general population based on them.
The fusion influences only the speed, not the code size and the discussion was about the code size.

For x86, cmp/jnz must be 5 bytes for short loops or 9 bytes for long loops, because the REX prefix is normally needed. x86 does not have address modes with auto-update, like ARM or POWER, so for a minimum number of instructions the loop counter must also be used as an index register, to eliminate the instructions for updating the indices.

Because of that, the loop counter must use the full 64-bit register even if it is certain that the loop count would fit in 32-bit. That needs the REX prefix, so the fused instruction pair needs either 5 bytes (for 7-bit branch offsets) or 9 bytes, in comparison with 4 bytes for RISC-V.

So RISC-V gains 1 byte about at every 20 bytes from the branch instructions, i.e. about 5%, but then it loses more than this at other instructions so it ends at a code size larger than Intel/AMD by between 10% and 50%.
Not in favor of the headline. The deepmind blog clearly states
"Our results suggest that ML can complement maths research to guide intuition about a problem by detecting the existence of hypothesised patterns with supervised learning and giving insight into these patterns with attribution techniques from machine learning"
Thanks!

Your totally right about deep cryogenic subcooling/densification, it’s a technique no one else has really worked on in production systems meanwhile SpaceX has made it normal. Not only does it get you even more performance for a given unit of volume (because not only do you care about performance per unit weight you care about the density of the fuel as well) but it also gives you a better engine coolant because you can let the fuel and/or oxidiser soak more heat without running the risk of boiling your fuel in the tiny coolant pipes/channel wrapped around the engine and nozzle. This is a big win for engine life as a cool engine is an engine not trying to melt itself to bits from the inside.

Your also right about their Mars goals too, when you factor in their Mars goals it’s the obvious fuel and oxidiser combination. While it’s a process that requires lots of energy, there are extremely well established chemical processes to go from CO2 and H2O to both oxygen and methane. It makes their choice of a methalox engine basically a no-brainer.
I mean those are the problems that are being worked on, I presume. Seems a little tautological to say we currently have no space defense/offense capabilities so it's senseless to invest in space defense/offense.
> it's in everyone's best interest to get vaccinated.

Except the few who die from it. About ~20 per million will die after having the vaccine (although there are not exact numbers on whether vaccine was the cause). There are lots of well-documented cases.
Tinnitus is tough. Do yourself a favor. If you don't have it yet, then protect your hearing. Wear good earplugs at concerts, when using loud tools, even hammering. No concert, or shop project or anything, really is worth a lifetime of that video game sound effect when your stunned by a grenade.
multiple browser windows are not different resource-wise than multiple tabs, you are still running against same instance of the browser.

The other benefit of leaving window (and tab) managerment to the OS is that tabs switching should also better, imagine your tabs show up in the OS switcher and you can look them up in spotlight or something.
It's not exactly RISC VS CISC.

Maybe SISC - "Simplified" instruction set computing, perhaps. ARM isn't exactly super complicated in this particular aspect (it is elsewhere), but in this case the designers basically chose to make branches simpler at the expense of code that needs to check overflows (or flags more generally)

RISC-V was born partly out of a desire for a teaching ISA, also, so simplicity is a boon in that context too.
To be fair there really isn’t that much plastic in space hardware, it tends to outgas and deposit itself on everything nearby in a vacuum. Some very specialized polymers sure, but not many, and not much.
I've often wondered whether this article was DOD fundraising propaganda: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40054/adversary-drones...
Please don't post unsubstantive/flamebait comments. We're trying for something else on this site.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Is tattooing a religious symbol on one's forehead "a minor inconvenience"? How about less visible part of a body? What if said symbol is a Hindu swastika? What if it's just a washable decal of a Hindu swastika? What if it is mandated under threat of a fine and imprisonment?

Maybe we have to agree to disagree on "inconvenience" of mask wearing. It is, clearly, an irrational but very powerful standoff. Masks have a marginal effect on protection (11% relative reduction in transmission, according to best recent study? So the abs risk reduced from, say, 20% to 18%) while having an enormous symbolic meaning, made even bigger by turning into political token. Washing hands is not even in the same league of religiousness. We'll see how it goes when it is made mandatory with govt-appointed "hygiene inspectors" at every workplace and fines up to a few grand...

Surely, fogging glasses and alike are minor things, but instinctive revulsion, panic, "brain shutting", "blood boiling" and suicidal tendencies aren't something to dismiss. I'm not particularly proud to be having such reaction, and I honestly tried to rationalize myself out of it, but to no success. At this point I also try to avoid seeing masked faces. I close articles or posts where author's photo is masked, blacklist YT channels and switch off TV when masked reporter or anybody pops up. That's the only thing I can do to keep some sanity before it overcomes me. And it will, because the mask mandates are looking to be with us for years...

The analogy you don't have to accept, but may help to illustrate how we (people, resisting "minor" inconvenience for "greater good") feel. Consensual physical intimacy is a great thing, very pleasant, absolutely harmless if practiced with proper care and contraception. People always sought it and it is still very much a driver of life, and will be forever. In wild nature our close relatives, bonobos, practice it widely and casually for stress relief, and it works great for the cohesion of their society! They known to have much less aggression than their bigger bros or humans. Surely the solid rational case can be made that adopting such practices could improve human society as well, maybe in major way. How would you feel if such "minor inconvenience" is mandated, with proper rules and protocols, of course? It must bizarre and unreasonable that the foolishness of "muh freedumb" standing in the way to "Greater Good"? How foolish it is of humans to make non-consensual intercourse a crime, sometimes worse than murder!
You run around this by designing your hardware to only work with your provided software and require the user accept the T&C. If they find out your violating it they can terminate your license and, effectively, make your chips bricks.

You are legally allowed to reverse engineer them and provide your own software but Nvidia pretty much buys whole departments at universities to have the bleeding edge of hardware obfuscation. The stuff they do to make the chips inscrutable is absolutely bonkers.
> There is no reason someone should be able to make one hit song and then never work again.

It makes people want to do it, hence providing the incentive for more creation. Frankly, if someone writes a good song then I'm happy they'll do well off it, we need more good songs and that song will last a lifetime for the listeners too.

Branch immediately messaged and called Airbnb. He was told his case would be “escalated to a specialized team.”

“…and he said, ‘Okay, someone will be in touch with you tonight.’ Nothing,” said Branch*

The listing stayed up for weeks and, last weekend, another stranger showed up to the home, saying she had rented the house on Airbnb.*

“Escalated to a specialized team.” Right.
> Unvaccinated people are inherently dangerous.

They are not dangerous. A person who has access to sharp knives but is currently not holding a knife, is no more dangerous than someone who does not have access to knives.

But even that analogy doesn't fit, since vaccinated people can certainly still get sick and transmit the virus.

Besides, I am not restricting my position in this debate to health care workers. I am talking about anyone with a job, who is now required to get vaccinated. That's what happened where I live (Australia). Everyone in my state from barristers, to builders, office workers, truck drivers... literally every professional who isn't working from home, is required to get the vaccine or lose their job.

Many are pissed off with the expanding scope of mandates.

I can understand the requirement for health workers to be vaccinated. But even then, they should have the option to be tested regularly instead.

This is what happens... incremental laws expand and eliminate choice. Suddenly you live in a world where you must get jabbed every 6 months, and repeatedly prove your vaccine status to everyone every day. Tagged, tracked and validated for walking around doing normal things is not a world we should be encouraging, even in pandemic times. If we must disagree on that point, then fine, we disagree.
People have gotten really into the idea of antitrust without really thinking about what problems "trust-busting" was meant to address or whether it's relevant to the ones they have now. Well, I guess half-baked nostalgia is all the rage these days.
Is your point that monopolies aren't bad, or that anti-monopoly laws are useless?

Because both of these are provably false.

As is that nVidia is already a monopoly.

The article is mostly about ground-based attacks, which pretty much everyone can do.
Cloudflare is not the only gatekeeper, too. Keep that in mind. There's many others and, as an upstart search engine operator, it's quite overwhelming to have to deal with them all. Some of them have contempt for you when you approach them. I've had one gatekeeper actually list my bot as a bad actor in an example in some of their documentation. So, don't get me wrong, this is about gatekeepers in general, not just only Cloudflare and Cloudfront.
But it worked fantastically.

I’m not sure Mother Jones is always the best source of information for accurate historical analysis. I have serious issues with the first paragraph and don’t really feel up to a piece long rebuttal.
> All new android phones are mainlined, it’s been years, even before either phone existed.

Can you cite some sources for this? I believe, for example, that Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs have a degree of Linux support which literally allows you to boot up a mainline kernel on most of their boards. But to the best of my knowledge, only a handful of devices have anywhere close to full support for sensors, cell modem, wifi/bluetooth, buttons, suspend, etc. In general, obtaining support for these missing hardware features requires someone to carry out unpaid reverse engineering work. Even the PinePhone, which was specifically designed around the goal of being easy to mainline, required quite a bit of reverse engineering work from the community, and isn't yet fully mainlined.

> Do you use them PPP daily?

I don't; as far as I'm aware, the dev units haven't even shipped yet. Its device drivers are still a work in progress, and that will probably be the case for the next month or two. But I've pre-ordered one, and I plan to use it as my only phone starting early next year. (To be clear: I'm a very abnormal phone user. I never owned a cell phone until a few years ago; I now own an iPhone, which I literally use for nothing except texting and calling.)

> Everyone is selling their L5 or getting a refund

Much of the Librem 5 criticism is totally justified; they over-promised and under-delivered. They accepted payments on orders that they weren't able to ship, and they promised an unrealistically polished product which they weren't able to produce.

On the other hand, Pine64 has been unambiguous in their messaging: the PinePhone is a phone for hackers, not for average consumers. Some people ignore the messaging, buy it with unrealistic expectations, and then complain about it on the internet; but that's life. If you need Android apps, if battery life is a high priority for you, or if you want iOS-tier polish, then Linux smartphones are the wrong choice for you. It's the right choice if you value software freedom, enjoy hacking, don't mind getting your hands dirty, and don't need Android apps or multi-day battery life.
A laser-beam attack is when you shine a laser into the satellite's lenses, meaning its blind for the duration of the laser-beam.

As such, you can disable an opponent's satellite without destroying it. It just doesn't work for the duration of the laser-beam attack.
The reason to block the merger is pretty straightforward:

1) Nvidia designs expensive chips and sells them by the millions. [1]

2) ARM designs cheap chips and sells them by the billions. [2]

3) Nvidia's "normal" product departments are incentivized to prevent ARM from competing with Nvidia's expensive chips, in various ways. This would hinder ARM's innovation and growth opportunities vs being independent.

I am glad to see this motion to block the merger, for the sake of a competitive market for CPUs, GPUs, etc.

As usual with crypto, it's up to the investor to perform due diligence.

BUSD as of Oct 29th had a market cap of $13.1B USD which was fully backed by fiat USD held in bank accounts which are audited monthly [1]

USDT has a market cap of $74B and has never been fully audited and last released an attestation report in March 2021.

Can you explicitly mention what those treatments are? I'm genuinely curious.

Can Twitter Sentiment Predict NFL Matchups? Cowboys vs. Saints Week 13
Yes, well you're comparing silicon photolithography process nodes that are a decade apart and core architectures that are 5+ years apart, that's the difference. The Pi 4 is using Cortex-A72 cores, released in 2016 [1]. And is made on the 28nm node, released in 2011 [2][3][4]. Compare that to the Snapdragon 888, which uses the 5nm node (and the low-power version of it, at that), and Cortex-X1 cores from 2020. That's where your difference comes from. It's like comparing a Pentium III to a Core i7.

The Pi is cost-optimized to hit an entry level price target of $35. They have to use old cores and cheap lithography processes. High-end smartphones are cost-optimized for a $700-1200 price window with massive economies of scale and stiff competition, so they will naturally use the latest process nodes and cores. It's completely apples and oranges.

Compare the RasPi to other sub-$100 SBCs and it compares quite favorably.

There are lots of reasons the 28nm node has such longevity, mostly coming down to the fact it is the last silicon process node which uses simple gate topographies and is thus highly cost-effective to produce. [5][6]

lol, those type systems are garbage comparing to typescript, if you even understand what a type system is, it's not the same as making toy hierarchies in OOP

> Rust compilers and interact with your DOM

> pick the right hoe for the job

More evident of you knowing nothing of what you're talking about. There is a push for Rust to do this kind of thing, but it's far fom the right tool for the job.

Rust's focus is memory safety, not expresiveness (eventhough it can be), so it's never the best tool for the job of making applications, on the DOM or otherwise. You can try to do it but it's best fit for system programming.

The best programming language to make application on the DOM is Java/C#
