> The SEC remains the power conference of power conferences, and whatever they decide is ultimately the way college football will trend.

Not so fast my friend! :p

The Big Ten in particular is a peer with the SEC in football viewership and revenue, but dwarfs the SEC in overall academic revenue and power. Texas and Oklahoma’s move to the SEC is a big deal, but these seismic shifts cause other seismic shifts and conferences such as the PAC-12 will look to form deeper relationships with the Big Ten so that they are not at a permanent disadvantage. The Big Ten itself continues to eye schools such as Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, and Virginia Tech as potential new members. This isn’t the end of the story there.

In addition, money from a company such as Apple gives them a significant bulwark against the SEC dictating how football goes. You may recall the Big Ten, ACC, and PAC-12 formed a scheduling “alliance” in response to Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC. It may end up being a pony show, but the intent is there. Apple perhaps purchasing the rights to stream the games may not necessarily preclude local broadcasts either. Otherwise you’d make the exact same argument about ESPN and the SEC. But SEC games are routinely broadcast on other networks.

Now, that’s not to say with recent NIL deals and Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC that something seismic won’t occur. But I think what is more likely to happen is a separate league separate from any conference in football only which would include top tier brand name programs, versus a world where the SEC and ESPN dictates how things go. I do think ESPN’s likely long-term goal is to break off the marquee SEC programs (Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, etc.) alongside the marquee other conference programs (Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn St, Oregon, USC, etc.) and form a league, but so long as the other conferences don’t care for it, the risk of losing billions in academic funding (which makes football revenue look like a lemonade stand) will keep this from happening.
Amazon still has competition, both from brick and mortar stores that will let you actually touch the product and go home with it the same day, and from other online stores that can also ship stuff to you within a few days. What does Amazon sell that you cannot get something similar to from some other store?

They just provide a better experience.

>LA spending up to $837,000 to house a single homeless person

I really don't understand how people are upset about stuff like this. It follows directly from commitments which nearly every voter/homeowner in the community would find obvious and uncontroversial.

* The state should address homelessness by buying homes for people who need them, within the high-cost metros where they are homeless.

* The state is only marginally different from other builders/buyers of housing. It may have preferential rules, but it can't totally bypass the rules, confiscate land, force construction workers to work for free, or anything like that.

* $837k is a very normal amount of money for a house in the region, and we should reject out of hand any changes which would substantially collapse property values.

You want the market rates to be high, and you want the state to pay close to market rates when it houses people, and you want the state to house people who have no ability to pay... ergo the state is going to spend quite a bit of money on each person it houses. How could it be otherwise?

The Erlang Manual does a pretty good job of describing the system limits and how to configure them, as well as the failure modes of various components.

By default, a mailbox will continue to fill up until process reaches its configured max heap size (which by default is unlimited, i.e. the process heap will grow until the system runs out of memory, eventually crashing the node its running on). However, you can configure this on a process-by-process basis, by specifying a max heap size and what to do when that limit is reached. This is described in the docs, but as you mentioned, it's not necessarily apparent to newcomers.

But aside from that scenario, I think a lot of the interesting failure scenarios are really sensitive to what the system is doing. For example, network partitioning can either be a non-issue, or critical, depending on how you are managing state in the system. As a result, I don't think there is too much that really digs deep into those problems because it turns out to be really hard to document that kind of knowledge in a generic fashion - or at least that's how it feels to me. Everyone I've worked with has built up a toolbox of techniques they use for the task at hand, and do their best to share them when they can. It's unfortunate there isn't really a one-stop shop of such information out there though.

I think it's probably also good advice for newcomers to remember that you don't have to use something just because its there (like mnesia) versus something you are already running or are more familiar with which solves the same problem (e.g. redis).
There's nothing useful about this tangential comment.
I do wonder, if only the Turbo P-States are what cause the vulnerability. Is relying on Deep C-states for instance an alternative to get power savings?
On my server during idle, when cores enter C6, the power savings are at their maximum and no frequency scaling can match that. Why not just rely on that? (Ignoring the loss of turbo boost ofc)
My point was that hate speech is currently protected, and yet none of the hyperbole you mentioned actually exists in reality.

Obviously you knew that those things don't happen. So were you perhaps under the mistaken impression that hate speech is not currently protected and were suggesting what you believe may happen if it were allowed?

If that is not the case, then what point were you making with the use of hyperbole that addresses my original assertion that banning hate speech allows hateful people to hide?

> it was an example of an instance of a hyperbolic example of giving them a platform.

At no point did I ever suggest anything about "giving them a platform" so I'm not sure who you're arguing with, but it isn't me.

I agree with the latter half entirely, but the first half is just not true. All you have to do matter how good you are, is miss a few meetings or show up late. Yes, you have financial leverage to try and make moves, but with a recession coming up, even that's a bit tenuous. It depends on tenure and company, but a lot of the time you're super disposable, because a lot of tech doesn't matter remotely as much as ICs think it might. It's pretty depressing admittedly, but after many years, but my opinion is that you have no leverage until you definitely have a stake, and until then you might as well do the least amount of work possible to fulfill your duty of being on time. Beyond that, it's not in your best interest to really push for much beyond a higher salary through switching companies, or acquiring a real stake in the business

First you'll note they dispute the fact fetuses can feel pain at all, because fetuses are not conscious. One questions at what point in the vagina consciousness develops. Inquiring minds want to know.

And my point is that even when the mother's life is in danger is no excuse to not anesthesize the child. Anesthesia for the child has nothing to do with the woman's body. Anesthetic does not cross the placenta from child to mother. The only explanation is we don't want to consider the fact that the child feels pain, whether the mother's life is in danger or not.

If I have to be ready for a lay-off tomorrow. I'm basically going to be spending time leetcoding instead of actually working on the hardest problems or thinking about them. Being an engineer doesn't mean you work a 9 - 5 job, your work creeps up on you during off-hours all the time.

Also, if I'm leetcoding consistently, I'm going to be switching jobs as soon as I get a large enough bump.

This industry doesn't reward loyalty and you're recommending that engineers be ready to leave on any given day.

>States provide the infrastructure and educate the workforce which enables the job creations.

Yes, there is a nice division of responsibilities. But ultimately, governments are doing the jobs they get paid for. And they're not only wasteful with our money (spending on wars, defense, etc), ironically (in a sad way) they pay government workers poorly - See teachers' salaries.

>Jobs would be created without the rich.

Jobs were created at all stages in history in all kinds of social and economic conditions. Also, plenty of rich people got rich after starting companies and creating jobs. We're incentivizing people who like money to create jobs, among other things.

The thing I hate about all of these GoG approaches is the wastefulness of the translation of data + style into visual representations. For example, if you have a dashboard with 8+ charts visible, the scaffolding of the charting library starts to weigh down the system in both performance and memory usage. VegaLite, especially, seems to make a copy of the data being passed in. Looking at the examples of ObservablePlot, I can see more wasteful processing in the form of dataset.map(d => d.property) sprinkled in several places.

Given how much grief I’ve had from corporate mandated “enterprise” virus and firewall programs, I’m happy they started locking things down. Poorly written kexts were one of the worst user experiences I’ve had to deal with. When your computer crashes because you plug in a USB network adapter (due to a buggy firewall), you’ll want a more stable and locked down system too.

(Oh, and all USB-C/Thunderbolt docking stations have these adapters)

Sadly, there’s a reason why we can’t have nice things…
Sure, but time is a limited resource. The less free time you get, the more you want to charge for loss of that free time as it has become more valuable. At one point that extra session is too expensive for the NHS but not for private companies. Then there is extra capacity in the system. That’s just economics.
You could get rid of private care by funding the NHS more than any private company, then doctors wouldn’t want to work for them (excluding all the other reasons people don’t want to work for the NHS).

On other reasons to not work for the NHS: culture plays a big part. The NHS is very bureaucratic and slow to change. Private companies have the potential to offer a more positive work culture, flexible hours, etc etc all the normal things that ‘good’ companies to work at do to help offset lower wages that the NHS often doesn’t. Similarly, due to different funding models, private healthcare can give drugs/perform procedures which don’t have a good cost/benefit analysis but the customer doesn’t mind paying for. That’s just more money into the system and one fewer person in the queue waiting for treatment for everyone else.

An analogy is helicopter vs train. The free train run by the government is full. Rich guy buys a helicopter ticket. Queue for the train is one person shorter. The government would never fund a helicopter journey as too expensive. So its not even a consideration for the government.

You can try push the everything must be NHS or nothing, but we start moving away from a free market economy, and that that’s a whole different argument, and has much bigger impacts than just the NHS.

honestly, i dont think this is some universal remote exploit, despite it being remotely exploitable. under certain circumstances seems a keyword here..

this is incredibly clever and devious, but mostly i think practical locally. since different cpus have different power usage, and systems roll different configurations, id expect the most reliable use case would be for instance to roll a custom os on a confiscated device to learn what power throttling patterns it has related to this kind of attack and then perform that on the systems original installation to decrypt it. (something along those lines). I think, maybe better in a counter example, that it is unlikely that someones online service or personal system would be ever exploited by this. why? because the system runs a lot of threads in general when its being used, making it much harder to predict what measurements mean what. if a system is not idle during the attack, its hard to deduce if timing diffetences are related to the attack or for example just other tasks/threads being executed during the attack.

am i wrong?

> Why does amazon still use freight companies like USPS

From my understanding - USPS offers fixed rate deliveries to the entire US, so amazon can use them in all cases where it would cost them more than the fixed price to deliver something (incidentally, this probably drives this cost up)

imo, amazon lockers are probably going to start accepting returns at some point, if the logistics for it makes sense

Conceptually, there's nothing that makes cryptocurrencies a scam.

In practice, however, many cryptocurrency uses, and indeed many cryptocurrencies themselves, are scams. Given the difficulty of identifying actors in the market, the complexity of analyzing the risks, the limited regulatory oversight, the cross-jurisdictional nature of the market, and the general frothiness, hype and FOMO around cryptocurrencies, it's inevitable that it will attract scammers and the scammed.

> buying crypto, starting a company, options trading, whatever

I think these activities are quite different however. Saying starting a company is the same nature of activity as betting on an extremely volatile asset ignores all the work that goes into successfully creating a working company. Surely, there's no guarantee this work will bring result - but it's still not the same as just betting on random high-volatility assets. Even options trading is not (always) just betting, and for more successful traders probably involves certain amount of knowledge in addition to luck. But I don't think describing creating a company as completely probabilistic activity makes any sense.
