Unless you'd have a dedicated room for your server, I'd advise you to go for workstation machines. Pretty much the same horse power with more affordable hardware without big noise issues. Also, in comparison to v4, Xeons E5 v3 are ridiculously low priced right now (e.g. ebay) and are one heck of the CPUs too. In general there're no substantial differences between the microarchitectures of the two (Haswell vs. Broadwell).

> We want social media companies to confirm they will not implement end-to-end encryption until they have the technology in place to ensure children will not be put at greater risk as a result.

This seems disengenuous. Is there any way to implement E2E encryption that wouldn't "put children at greater risk" if we accept that framing?

I understand why the Government and child welfare organizations don't like the idea of E2E. It would, in fact, make it more difficult to identify child abuse on social media, all else being equal. But the attempt to balance privacy with child welfare doesn't have to mean abandoning privacy altogether.

An alternative would be to require social media companies to allow parents to monitor their children's social media activity. Or to have "child-friendly" accounts without E2E. It doesn't seem necessary to impose a blanket ban on E2E, which would almost certainly be abused.
Our “soul” is that being which “ can affect and be affected by the natural world, but are not part of it”. You can feel it as you are one of these “supernatural being”. Case closed.
Just a side note about your digital movies: You can connect your various accounts and share your library across services with Movies Anyhwhere: https://moviesanywhere.com
Assuming there were 90 million children who needed laptops, I would rather give all of them a pretty good Acer or a decent Chromebook that gives them all access to the information they need, than give 30 million of them a Macbook and the other 60 million of the children nothing.
What does this mean? It's outdated if you mean modern games ditch it in favour or more predatory methods such as gambling and pay-2-win micro transactions. It's pretty nice if you're the customer and you want to know up-front what the experience is going to cost (unless the publisher double-dips like Blizzard has started to). Notably FFXIV still uses a monthly subscription.
I think that Microsoft's Game Pass has really changed the gaming ecosystem.

If you're not familiar it's basically "Netflix of Videogames" where for a low monthly price (compared to buying a game at full retail) you get access to whole downloadable/streamable library of games.

It's such an outsized value that it's a big reason to choose an Xbox console over a PlayStation and it's pretty clearly the driving force behind these acquisitions. More games in the library -> More Game Pass subscribers -> More Profit.

Exactly. MS has Xbox and has been buying up a lot of Game studios as well. Blizzard makes sense for them to buy; Apple doesn’t seem to be contending…
Good news for you, Diablo 3 is already out!

(Itemization and damage looks very bad in Diablo 4 previews though - damage in hundreds of thousands and "strictly better" items instead of trade offs)
I think it used to be a requirement (technically) for C and C++, though probably not much any more in practice.
Valve is 50% owned by Gabe; you can't buy it without working with him. AB was publicly traded, much easier to buy (up to and including a hostile purchase if necessary).
Thank you. In all these discussions what's curiously overlooked is exactly what the testing revealed.
> Centralized payment services are vulnerable to regulators, see eGold and Liberty Reserve. Note that BTC emerged shortly after these services were destroyed. Anti-terror legislation was used.

According to Wikipedia, Liberty Reserve was used to launder over $6B stolen from offshore banks. That sounds like a pretty legitimate reason to shut a service like that down to me. You argue that central banks are incompetent and need to be disrupted, yet you don't hold services like these to the same standard. Instead, you argue that they're victims of regulatory overreach and that we should create that allow this kind of activity to thrive. Where's the anti-money laundering mechanism in crypto? It doesn't exist.

I truly do not believe that the full anonymity provided by crypto does anything but benefit those with the most resources in the system. As long as that remains true, how do we expect it result in a more fair system than what we already have?
I've never overseen a merger before, let alone one of this scale, so pardon my blatant speculation... but will that really be such an issue?

It seems to me that the mismanagement of Acti/Blizz is a product of a corrupt corporate apparatus. From the inside of Acti/Blizz, the problem is basically intractible, but I don't think that really applies the same way once you install higher rungs of authority. MS is no stranger to acquisitions, either, so it's not as though they will be asleep at the wheel during this transition.
> I hope PC gaming can detach from Microsoft as soon as possible to be honest

In what way is PC gaming attached to Microsoft? Microsoft Game Studios doesn't have a lot of market share in PC games besides Minecraft, and the industry is very diverse. Most games happen to run on Windows, but apart from DirectX they have resisted every attempt from Microsoft to use that in any way.

If PC gaming is attached to anyone it's Valve, but even that is slowly changing.
Go browse itch.io for some inspiration. There's thousands of indie games there. A lot are no more than student projects and demos, but some are really polished and inventive.

Persistent memory has some other advantages that make it good for datacenters. Mainly it is faster than SSD and cheaper than DRAM.

That failed merger's poison pill is the reason T-Mobile is the juggernaut it is today. The cash T-Mobile received allowed them to upgrade their network, and customers could roam free on AT&T's 1700MHz frequency.

AT&T's threat assessment of T-Mobile was correct at the time.
The only fundamental difference inherent to the respective designs of blockchains and traditional banking, is censorship resistance through genuine self-custody. The former is designed to provide this quality, and the latter is not.

So yes, I maintain people opposed to blockchain on principle - as opposed to problematic elements within the contemporary blockchain space - oppose individual liberty, which I characterize as desiring for the population to be under a technocratic form of serfdom.
If I understand correctly, it's not the light reflected off the exoplanet that we detect, it's the slight dimming of the stars light as the exoplanet transitions between the star and our telescope.

I'm not sure what this has to do with a communications link though. It's not like we need as much energy as a star, we can use a directional link like a laser. Sure it'd still need to be massive but while I don't have the math in front of me, it seems like something we could build.
They are not equivalent since `created_at + INTERVAL '90 DAY'` can overflow for every single row whereas `now() - INTERVAL '90 DAY'` is a constant for the purpose of the query execution.
I don't think Intel really knew what they were going for with Optane / persistent memory. They had an invention, it had a bunch of interesting stats, and they were hoping someone out there would figure out a use.

Databases seem like the obvious answer. Persistent memory / Optane is much faster than NAND Flash... but less dense than NAND Flash. Its also slower than DRAM, but more dense, so it sits in between.

Whether or not that's useful remains to be seen.
Meta: there's a funny typo in the title, it should be "end-to-end encryption". Now it's quite confusing, since "end to encryption" means something else.
Fiat currencies are used in literally every country on the planet and have been through the largest economic booms in history. Limited/hard currencies on the other hand, have a 100% failure rate with one ongoing experiment happening right now in El Salvador. Which would I rather bet on?

I bet we agree on many issues including, let people move freely between countries, have less rules, have smaller countries. But there is nothing wrong with the idea of a government backed currency even if you can point to failures like Turkey, Venezuela and many more.

Also are you seriously saying that because you can't rent seek land in Liberia there is a problem with the global economic order?
Having just finished "Flying Blind" and filled with incandescent rage, reading about the rise and fall of Boeing (and GE) as an engineering company, this seems about right. The upward failures keep failing upward.
It could be that the introduction of a process was part of the deal. That it only affected 20 might be a reason the deal was finalized.
Yeah, that's just the thing though. They aren't against E2E encryption, actually! They're very much for it.

Last time I tried, Delphi had no concept of "outlet", every widget is accessible by the form class that contains it. On the Anjuta+Glade integration, you double click the widget on the inspector to add it to "private" struct, so you can access it on the callbacks.

A very literal example of "Won't somebody think of the children!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_of_the_children

The use of the phrase "Think of the children" in debate a type of logical fallacy and an appeal to emotion.

A debater may use the phrase to emotionally sway members of the audience and avoid logical discussion. EG "I know this national missile defense plan has its detractors, but won't someone please think of the children?"

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard for $68.7B
That's because the Japanese game companies are more or less in friendly coopetition with each other. Both Namco and Sega run game centers (arcades), which means they're buying each other's games to populate said centers (as well as other manufacturers' games). And then there's Smash Bros., in which many of Nintendo's competitors (including Microsoft -- twice) went to Nintendo and said, "hey, could you feature our characters too?" And then there's Mario & Sonic at the Olympics...
Does this mean that Blizzard engineers get a FAANG salary now?
quick: explain to me the difference between "git reset", "git revert" and "git restore", without looking up the docs.
nZEB isn't quite the same thing as a passive house; a well-built passive house would qualify as an nZEB, but you could for instance, build an nZEB that had reasonably high thermal losses (thus not a passive house) which it compensates for with loads of solar panels.

That said, in practice most nZEBs probably will be passive houses or close; it's probably the most practical way to meet the requirements in most cases.
Hopefully they fire most of the management, retain what technical talent they decide, and effectively reboot the entire company.
The article talks about trust but doesn't even mention the insane amount of trust blockchain solutions are expecting you to put on the cryptography that it utilizes. This idea that crypto is some impenetrable fortress is ridiculous. At best it's a well fortified castle that should provide a reasonable assurance that it will keep attackers at bay for long enough that you feel secure. They expect to put all the worlds money on there, insurance contracts, land records and when there's a weakness found in the crypto it all just goes poof?

This would exceed Tyler Durden's wildest dreams.
arXiv advanced search is great.

I just have a few bookmarked searches for what I am interested in.

I don't see how you could generalize things though across all papers. Like randomly clicking on what was submitted to High Energy Physics - Lattice yesterday. I don't have the first clue what any of that is and that would be the same for most topics for most people I imagine.

Russian laws that granted the government the ability to block websites were also initially aimed at protecting children from drugs and suicide. Though somehow, they didn't have any provisions to allow adults access this "forbidden information".

After the technical capability was in place, they've expanded the possible grounds to block websites on multiple times. It now includes piracy, refusal of cooperation with FSB, being a public VPN, being related to Navalny, etc.
On the other hand, UK regulators blocked FB/Giphy and Nvidia/ARM mergers.

Not even a little. Valve and the streaming services have proven far more reliable than I am at keeping track of "my" shit.
Yeah this seems very logical to me. I wouldn't call it a "gotcha".
You are free to call this free will, I would not. For a good hash function there is no way of predicting the output for a given input besides executing the hash function. But I don't see why I would call the output free. If there is no better way to figure out what you will do than letting your brain go through its internal calculations, fine, your behavior is unpredictable, but how is it free?

The older I get the more I notice a lot of dichotomies where both sides have opposite qualitative judgments. Another recent one I learnt about was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aizuchi in Japanese where people sort of talk/interject over each other and it's seen as more polite than listening to someone in total silence. Again, all down to context, because if I tried that sort of conversational technique with my partner it would not go down well(!)
Well after all the shit Blizzard have done in the last years, I can imagine it was a bargain.
Thank you for this comment!

I'd like to add another detail, which is that people generally accept the idea that "deathbed perspective" is a highly privileged perspective, but with no real justification for this position. Here's a good article that questions this idea: https://aeon.co/essays/why-is-the-deathbed-perspective-consi...
Given that they plan to keep Bobby Kotick on, I don't think Microsoft understands the problem with ABK all that well.
Yeah, keeping the execs around for a while after an acquisition before they quietly exit seems common.
They're framing it as a choice between child safety and encryption. I think everyone on HN knows how utterly stupid that is, so I won't belabour the point.

However, what offends me, and I don't see mentioned enough, is that the UK government is exploiting the real suffering of children to destroy something that protects us all, children and adults alike. They do not speak for those children or their families. They're exploiting them and their trauma for political gain.

If I was in the U.K., this would be enough to forever turn me off the ruling Conservative party. It's disgusting. They have no morals. It's not just that they're lying -- every political side lies all the time, sometimes out of necessity. It's that they're re-victimizing the very kids they claim to be protecting. And they appear to be proud enough of that fact to promote it in this way.

I will never vote for a politician or party that's OK with that, no matter what their other policies may be.

AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile was aborted due to anti-trust complaints if I recall correctly.

The original purchase of Rite Aid by Walgreens was aborted due to similar concerns, although that one ended in a revised partial acquisition anyway.

The Staples acquisition of Office Depot/Office Max was stopped as well on anti-trust grounds.

They also blocked a merger of Nasdaq and NYSE.

Those are all since 2010. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few big ones too. They should definitely be blocking more, but they have stopped some.

I don't think Gaben will sell... And why would he, he has company he build over the years to do what ever he wants. With very robust income streams just by existing and occasionally releasing crap for Dota 2 and CSGO... Or continuing to sell other peoples games and taking 20-30% cut in process...

Already personally likely making more than enough money for him. I can kinda see point of selling when you want to do something for your dreams, but if company is doing your dreams what is the point.
OMG I hate this reasoning so much.

If you're brilliant enough that you think you can teach this piece of "netiquette" to non techies, then you are almost certainly smart enough to write a script to obsolete the need for the netiquette in this instance.

Make a damn bot that waits random(1, 3) seconds before responding, "Hi, what's up?"

This is one of the few social problems that is trivially solved by technology. To not solve it, and to then pretend we must do work to teach the world how to type chats to each other is to be the opposite of a hacker.

Seriously, where is the newbie_responder.pl module that passes the Turing test for introductory social pleasantries? Shame on you, Perl community.

In my imagined alternate reality, some Perlite got tired of multiple bot responses to the newbie and didn't want to do the boring work of electing a leader bot. And in their hacking fervor they accidentally created a novel solution to the Byzantine Generals problem.

Back in reality we get million dollar NFT monkey jpegs and a brilliant scheme to optimize out the word "Hello."

“Online” isn't just a place abuse happens in a way that is exclusive with abuse being “at home or in the family circle”, it's a place preparation for abuse happens and products of abuse are distributed. A lot of the online abuse material is from abuse that happens at home or in the family circle.

Spring Data JDBC is, by default I believe, backed by a full on ORM, that being Hibernate.

I'm open to different opinions on this, but I dislike Hibernate because of the complexity and the pains it causes when trying to do simple things. Hibernate, and Spring's use of it, is a leaky abstraction. When running into bugs, just trying to use a flow like, read sql row to POJO -> update POJO -> Save POJO to DB, using Spring JPA repository interfaces, I find myself needing to know about Hibernate internals, like the persistence context, how it relates with transactions, when objects are merged vs saved vs are they already in the persistence context or not? Plus Hibernate docs suck in my opinion.

One time we hit a bug in Hibernate. This was within the last two years, using a newer version of Spring Boot. We read a row from SQL in a transaction. Later in time, in a whole different Transaction, we read the same row. We read it with an annotation on the query method, "@LockType(PESSIMISTIC_WRITE)". We were using MSSQL and this sends table hints like "(updlock, rowlock, holdlock)". So essentially we wanted exclusive access to this row for the length of the transaction. But the data we were getting in the row didn't make any sense? We could see the sql query with the table hints hitting the sql server, but Hibernate was giving us a cached POJO!? If we "evicted" the pojo before we queried then it worked right. Again, this was at the very beginning of a fresh transaction. Wtf.
