I'm quite comfortable with my 15+ year comment history, associated with my real name – especially as compared to a 55-day-old anon account that just expresses peeved attitude, above as here, instead of reasoning.

But hey, thanks for at least describing Zcash's privacy-protecting-qualities accurately in a sibling thread.
Does that really matter? There are really good ARM processors right now, and biggest advantages of M1 - power efficiency - really matter more on the desktop than on server.

Cryptocurrency projects have squandered a decade of good faith with no useful product.

They've done a great deal of harm in that period, so I can't see even the current level of mild negative sentiment as sustainable.
> For example, in December 2020, Tillis introduced legislation to make it a felony to run a pirate streaming site. Just two weeks later, the proposal was attached to the massive 5,600-page, $900 billion COVID spending bill. As a result, Tillis' bill became law before most lawmakers—to say nothing of the general public—had time to read it.

This kind of doing it, as an intentionally deceptive practice, should itself be declared felony (or whatever a felony against the whole country and the whole legislative system as a victim is called).

For me as a non-american, the concept od 'dad jokes' is totally alien. From perceived usage, it seems just as a different phrase for puns, with some negative association.
It's not unprecedented -- during the cold war, the US Air Force spent $279M (~$3B in today's money) on building some of the largest presses in the world specifically to enhance the capabilities around building complex and strong aircraft parts:

The thing about chips that is causing all the paradoxical effects we're seeing is that chip production extraordinarily specialized and capital intensive. You can't just build more chips - you have to build more chip factories for the type of chip you want. And if you build more chip factories than you need or factories of the wrong type, some of those factories will be unprofitable, will shutdown, at high cost, and then you will have fewer chips than you need, again.

There was blame to go around, until Russia invaded Ukraine today and in 2014. Now it's all on them. Otherwise you're saying the woman with the short skirt asked or deserved to be raped and murdered. Which is never true.

Mistakes were made, but none of them justify the genocide in Ukraine. Nothing even justified an invasion at all.

If you can't see true evil and who the bad guy is, you're definitely part of the problem. I hope no women in your family are raped by men with logic similar to your own, because you'll be blaming them.
meh.. censorship detector is not what this actually does. Read the https://applecensorship.com/methodology/

"a web crawler that indexes all apps available in any of the countries and regions which currently have an App Store, and verifies availability of these apps on each of these App Stores."

"So if an app is unavailable in one or more app stores, does it mean it has been censored by apple?
No. Unfortunately, no algorithm could ever detect censorship that easily, for the simple reason that censorship is a human decision that is invisible in the binary realm of the World Wide Web. What the ASM does is detect if an app is available somewhere but unavailable elsewhere."
> Personally, I think Musk is having a bit of a laugh.

He's definitely demonstrating how toothless the SEC is. It's just good at empty threats. I'm not sure what the bigger joke is: the SEC or the financial industry's multiple private watchdog corporations like FINRA which masquerade as public regulatory bodies.
This is absurd. No, we definitely wouldn't. Most people wouldn't notice if TSMC disappeared.

In a couple years they might go, hey, why isn't my iPhone 42 any faster than my iPhone 35.

But most devices and datacenters would keep running for literally years. Occasionally there would be a disaster that is hard to recover from due to missing supplier inventory. The average warranty on such devices is like 3 years, and many can perform long beyond that.

This should be compared with critical commodities like oil. The oil produced yesterday will not last anywhere close to 3 years. Mass starvation would happen within weeks if the oil supply was cut off.

Not to mention a lot of critical technology doesn't need <10nm chips, and can use less advanced chips manufactured outside of TSMC.
In practical terms, the government is just too slow to actually help. They always shoot behind the target. The semiconductor market is cyclical. By the time the CHIPS Act, etc, actually get passed and implemented, the market will already be in oversupply and voters/politicians will complain about government handouts for these companies.
What Apple need to do now is make their devices more linux-server friendly out of the box.
I have scripts set up on all of my storage servers to scan for and remove .DS_Store files, as it essentially doubles the amount of files on a server which for indexing is incredibly bad. My complaints to the Mac users were usually met with replies such as 'Well if you ran Mac server that wouldnt be a problem'. Now they dont have that arguement to stand on.

I am aware of the command to stop apple devices writing these files to network shares, but regularly our mac users 'forget' to run this command after setting up new profiles or upgrading OSs etc.

I quit using ZFS when FreeBSD managed to somehow lose the entire zpool it was installed on. That was a long time ago, so I'd hope it's better now, but I've had no reason or inclination to waste my time with it since.
As shown so well in Doc Hollywood anything can be repaired with enough expertise and effort. A store employee saying something cannot be repaired is not going to be viewed by anyone, including a regulator, as meaning anything other than by the store employees either by capability or policy.

It's not a dupoloy at all. Fox cable handily beats CNN and MSNBC in daily ratings. Only thing beating Fox is the mainline broadcast networks' evening news.
That banding is odd. I get the same issue on Windows 11 latest Chrome build. Looks fine in Windows default image viewer. These are PNG images, so there is no decompression to mangle them. The only way the two images could differ is in the way the pixels are massaged into the color space. Weird.
I worked with a school district who used Profile Manager with ~200 iOS devices. Their in-house tech person got a horrified reaction from an Apple employee at an Apple event when they discussed the district's use of Profile Manager at that scale. The Apple employee seemed surprised that it worked and made it sound like it wasn't really supposed to be used for more than a handful of devices. I thought it was reasonably slick, personally, and would fit the bill for small orgs who otherwise didn't need a subscription MDM service.

For that amount of money, I can think of better investments.
Why... why whoever made this page, would you choose to display a feedback modal right as first time visitors view your page? If collecting feedback is the most important thing you want someone to do make it front and center page content. And if it's not, then don't.

I was mildly curious about the site but upon seeing the modal it was an immediate back button click for me.
Oh, come now. It’s not our business if he uses his money to outright purchase a politician? It’s not our business if he uses his money in pursuit of The Most Dangerous Game? It’s not our business if he uses his money to run disinformation campaigns via social media? Of course it is very clearly our business what he does with his money.

If anything, we should not only be scrutinizing the hell out of Musk’s stated intentions, but also scrutinizing those people in the Twitter organization who have the power to manipulate the public message, and ensuring that there are checks in place to keep falsehoods and anti-democracy messaging out of social media.

I mean, really, “mind your business!”? So let’s pretend it’s some other mega-billionaire, shall we? We sure has hell don’t want the likes of Putin purchasing twitter, do we? Give your head a shake.

It’s an auction, so it’ll go up, but there have been auctions before, so it seems like different heirs/successors are selling their stakes sliver by sliver.

My fear is that this is a branded product and as the royalty stream gets further and further away from the manufacturer/marketer, they’ll just kill off the product and push royalty-free alternatives.

I think you're talking about the effect where "secondary colors" made by mixing, say, R and G together have a maximum brightness (or I called it I for intensity) that is twice as high as that of pure R because twice as many LEDs are on.

This is the main reason I like it for my spotlights, it's way weirder if the apparent brightness of the spot changed as it went through a rainbow at fixed saturation (or from unsaturated to fully saturated even). Instead, I make it so that for secondary colors each individual emitter is half as bright by keeping the sum(R,G,B) constant (if it's RGB) as one of the main parameters. It's a tradeoff, it definitely only gets half as bright for the secondary colors. I think this is for the best in practice, otherwise white would be thrice as bright again, the software limit makes more sense to me than bouncing spot brightnesses.

For computer display colors, I don't think I am an expert enough to speak to it. I know about spotlight color schemes because that's what I build =)
Here's an alternative for Bayesians: http://georglsm.r-forge.r-project.org/site-projects/pdf/7113...
I’m sure costs is part of the equation but I’d imagine the control is far more important. Reselling legacy bank services means you’re limited to what they can do, which is usually not much. Most finance technology is heavily limited by what they can do… because of their partners, and that’s why they’re usually just nicer interfaces to the same old services. Hence banks like Monzo in the UK building their own infrastructure from the ground up too. The less you’re dependent on legacy technology, the more you can do.
None of which means he deserved a pardon.
I don’t really understand that idea of complexity, but Rick Beato is addressing this song from a music theory perspective, and I think this song would meet anyone’s definition of complex when it comes to theory.
The wash out in the memory industry was generally the opposite.

DRAM was a boom and bust market and during bust/oversupply windows vendors that under invested in the next node technology got washed out when the next boom cycle happened. When the market is high volume, price per bit, and new nodes are every 2 or 3 years, you can't really compete it your are nearly 2x as expensive (30% linear improvement => 70% squared cost per bit).

Of course you need to survive the dry times, but you make maximum margin when you are on the next fab node and your competition isn't.

I think what you are saying makes more sense when applied to contract manufacturers than all semiconductor companies.
Away Team Work
Sure. I am a tech entrepreneur & stock investor from the Czech Republic and together with my small team, we are building this platform.

As an investor and tech guy I used data like website traffic, mobile apps ranks, google trends, share of search and so on before strike.market on my own, manually. But it is very time consuming to check these data every month for every website, app etc. So this is the reason why I started strike.market - I want to automate this process. There is "Smart Feed" where you have all the notifications when there is some change in your companies.

Our goal is to put together all possible public data about companies and help investors see what happens "behind the curtain" in real-time.
More airships crashed due to poor weather than fires, including the Akron (which was the deadliest of the airship crashes.) Or consider the USS Shenandoah, a helium airship that was torn apart by the weather. It didn't burn though, and most of the crew survived (29 of 43).

Perhaps with modern weather forecasting this threat could be effectively mitigated, but I have doubts.
In my admittedly limited time using Linux (switched to it full-time in ~2001), the total amount of effort I've spent troubleshooting issues has probably been dominated by two categories:

1. Getting audio to behave.

2. Boot problems. (waves at LILO)

I don't know enough details about how UEFI and BIOS and MBR and GRUB and all of this works -- which probably contributed to my difficulties. But the problems certainly didn't end when I left LILO behind.

So it always makes me wonder: Have the people responsible for the bootloaders ever used a Mac? My goodness it could not be simpler. Hold the right key combo at boot time and you get a nice interface that shows you all the bootable devices you've got plugged in. USB, SATA, NVMe, whatever, it's there. And when you select one and boot, it actually works.

Recognizing that we don't actually need a GUI for this, and the challenge is different because Apple gets to use firmware and only worries about one type of OS, what would it take to make a PC bootloader work just as nicely?
The dark mode is built into your browser if you set the browser embedded style to dark.

Wayland! Ye gods. I tried. I really did. I understand that from a developer standpoint, it's the future. I understand from a security standpoint, it's more secure. From a user standpoint? It completely breaks so much functionality (copy / paste, screen share, blue light filters, etc). Video players crash and sometimes take down the whole OS with it. It puts so much responsibility that used to be the job of the x server off on the window managers.

This shift to wayland has been one of the most user hostile decisions I've seen. Every distro that defaults to wayland pushes me that much closer to simply running linux in a WSL container on windows.

Have you ever looked into colo? The #1 cost is power.

You can have a 5U server with lower power usage that is a LOT cheaper than 1U power hog.

Obviously at AWS scale this is abstracted away, but I think you are still paying a lot for the power you consume.
The first and only instruction that runs is on the “read-only” boot image which can be the whole OS. The solid state image is read-only because the tab is physically in the read-only position. The is the entire specification for booting.
You're implying that Fox is special in producing wall-to-wall alternate-reality stuff that turns out to be false or deliberately misrepresented. The reality is that CNN is going down because they have been producing, to use your term, wall-to-wall alternate-reality stuff that turns out to be false or deliberately misrepresented. From Russian Collusion to Hunter Biden's laptop, from uncritically parroting COVID-related panic porn to similarly uncritically parroting race and gender baiting activists and everything in between, CNN is going down because their specific flavour of alternate reality is rapidly going out of vogue. Fox is on the ascendant because they have been railing against whatever CNN (and MSNBC and ABC and CBS and PBS and NPR and the NYT and WaPo and...) pushed forward. If all those latter actors were to disappear Fox would suffer since their brand gains its popularity in part from opposing them.

This is precisely why USMC infantry training pivoted back toward more traditional (for the Marines) landing tactics in the Pacific, away from desert operations.
Hannity and Colmes was -supposed- to be that, and it was at times interesting.

It was rather obvious though who the star of the show was supposed to be, and Colmes was rather moderate. The conspiracy theorist in me says they probably handpicked Colmes for that role because he was a rather unattractive guy, and anything Fox can do to make liberals look bad goes.

I think there is perhaps a bit of irony in that your example of "database technology that allows encrypted data to be searched and the server to be untrusted" has already, to some degree, been invented in several competing and production strength crypto implementations: ZCash (Equihash) and Monero (RandomX/CryptoNight).

I am stretching the truth a little bit here and it's more like "allows encrypted data/messages to be bidirectionally sent and exchanged two parties while the server is untrusted" because neither of these protocols allow for search. However, they /do/ allow for fully anonymous transactions + data storage, upon which you could build the rest of your social networks on top of.

So IMO the actual pace of technological innovation in crypto is quite strong. I'm not such a big fan of the NFT space, but DeFi and the truly anonymous coins are extremely interesting to me.
>People have been talking about it[1]; it's just that Elon hasn't so it doesn't end up in the media hype cycle. The S&P 500 is really just the 5 big megacap stocks.

This isn't it. I follow financial news, primarily financial post and economist, I havent seen anyone talk about this at all. It's crazy that I even thought to check on this. Obviously twitter being undefended was quite unusual, why would they all be this way?

In fact when I look at Microsoft and Apple... holy shit I haven't seen the problem that bad.

Meta isn't bad, but then again 500 billion market cap and pe ratio of 13? wtf? different problem altogether. People are clearly predicting huge crash on meta. No idea if that's coming.

Amazon isn't bad at all. Bezos is defending just as Musk is defending Tesla. I probably should go through all the S&p. I wonder if other stock markets are seeing this. UK and Canada obviously arent.

>Twitter the company, and Twitter the boogeyman are two seperate entities. If you read about Twitter from NYT headlines, maybe it makes sense they are government controlled. If you actually spend time on the platform you will find a platform that largely hasn't changed in the past 10 years, but still trying to wrangle it's political influence since the Arab spring days.

No that's not the problem. I dont think that the us gov is controlling anymore. When I checked tsx60 and ftse1000 there's no examples for at least the ones I checked. I admittedly didnt check them all.

I have never seen this before, it's not natural. I don't know what the terminology would be. Zombie is the wrong word. Of all my positions, Tyson is the only 1 that is bad like this; though I'm not exposed to the USA that much.

Arab spring days? Yes.

I expect it may even start the same way. Will it be a Nicholas McCrary?

Will it be food scarcity? Biden publicly said this will be the case.

Elon is way ahead of me in understanding the situation.
Glass can have microscopic scratches that act as capillaries. Somewhat related: I remember one of my undergrad chemistry practicals where we had a supersaturated solution in a test tube. Scratching the inside wall of the tube produced tiny glass shards that induced precipitation of the solution.
