I disagree! I think Nintendo wanted both consoles to coexist in order to provide an additional revenue stream. When you want to play traditional games, you grab your Gameboy Micro or the still-highly-pocketable GBA SP. When you want a stylus and dual screens to play Nintendogs, you grab your bulkier Nintendo DS.

It didn’t really work and Nintendo pivoted—possibly also to compete with the PSP—but I see the Gameboy Micro as evidence of their strategy. Compare an original model DS and the Gameboy Micro side-by-side—the size difference isn’t entirely unlike that of an iPhone versus an iPad Mini.

It’s not the first time Nintendo tried to create a third category between console and handheld—see also the Virtual Boy.

* Russians have massive amount of brain drain. Most of tech employees have left, leaving only people extracting oil, people who turn it into fertilizer and gasoline and supporting roles.

* They can't build military tech because of sanctions. Starting to use 1950s and 1960s tanks.

* They've privatized and violated tons of foreign companies (for example Renault gave away 68% of car manufacturer Avtovaz to the state). Nobody in their right mind will bring money there in the future.

* They can't import smartphones, tech or luxury cars (things that keep russian upper middle class happy).

Imagine what the burn rate is on maintaining a property with 25,0000 square feet of living space that sits on 4.5 acres of hilltop land in place that gets quite hot and is currently experiencing a mega drought.
Very good points. Externalities and other market failures are also better addressed by governments than capital markets, as is well understood and was conceded even by Milton Friedman.
I think the intention here would be to provoke random jitter. So rather than trying to fight it with constant-time algorithms that turn out not to be under certain conditions, we make all the timing unreliably measurable.

I think the terminology is little awkward. It's not algorithmic constant time, and it's not wall-clock constant time, but, I suppose, clock rate-relative input-independent time. So the options are 1) don't change the frequency, which has systemic negative effects, or 2) start with input-independent timing and purposefully skew it.

Yes. You would increasingly see founders depart their companies as soon as a heavy wealth tax kicks in. It’s difficult to prove that this would have large net negative impact on overall well-being, but I imagine it would.

Not sure of your point since the middle class would be living in a flood plain and the “camps” would be on dry land.

Doesn’t it make sense to have a centralized area with services for mental health, job training, housing to assist the homeless? And doesn’t it make sense to build these facilities in areas with cheaper land costs than downtown areas like San Francisco so that money spent reaches more of the homeless?

After all, the goal is to help these people as effectively as possible, without letting our individual conscience regarding having to move them to another area impact the efficiency of the operation.
Sometimes I wonder if the main use of quantum computers will just be to verifiably have no side channels, because any such side channel would act as a measurement (which produces phase errors that you can check for). It wouldn't be efficient but the computation would be provably isolated from the rest of the universe. Well... other than the input at the start and the output at the end.

> you can't trust that your enums have a value inside their interval

If you don't set the underlying type, assigning a value that doesn't match an enumerator via `static_cast` is undefined behavior. See https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/enum . (Doing weird pointer casting things is also undefined behavior per the strict aliasing rule, though, come to think of it, I'm not sure whether memcpying an out-of-range value into an enum through the "reinterpret_cast to `char*`" loophole is undefined behavior.)

I agree there should be some incentive for entrepreneurs and the people who make “the business side” work, but doesn’t the degree of difference between Armstrong and his average employee strike you as unfair?
>fixed-frequency crypto core would be susceptible to the same attack,

I also added there are other attacks. Once you are allowing multiple processes to utilize these limited crypto cores, you're gonna leak information. And fixed frequency makes many attacks easier - the attacker no longer has to work through variances in performance due to all the randomness in chips from power and caches and other timing things.

>assuming proper constant-time cryto code

Yeah, that's exactly what the SIKE authors had assumed too. Turns out that it broke.

The point is once you allow things to be scheduled, it's nearly impossible to prevent information from leaking. My task asks for some crypto to be done - if fast, there was less in front. If slow, there was more in front. "Randomize!" the geek says - this nearly never works because random assumes some distribution, and again I can now keep poking at the scheduling to find the differences in behavior by statistical sampling.

There is no free lunch here.
Ask HN: Buying a Website as an Investment?
I am at a point where I'd like to give another go at business ownership (but retain my 9-5, which I enjoy).

I have a ton of failed app/websites I've attempted, built/owned a bar, and have been brainstorming on what I would like to do next.

My current plan is to start investing in real estate (flips and multi-unit rentals) but as I think about things I see a lot of parallels with owning "digital properties". I am curious if anyone has had success (defined as growing the MoM cashflow) with buying a site from somewhere like empireflippers in the 50-100k investment range? What did the process look like? What are the risks and got yas?

There are structural issues in the US which greatly exacerbate the problem of homelessness and which have nothing to do with what moral teachings the homeless may or may not have received. If anything, the vituperative contempt for the homeless illustrates a moral failing in a different population.

> You dont have to come at this from a position of judgment, superiority, or avoiding aid. That is a false binary.

In my view, the comment I was responding to did precisely that — came at this from a perspective of avoiding aid — by asserting that focusing on anything other than personal morality was bound to fail: "However, it's unlikely you'll ever help enough of them permanently out of their holes to address the problem in any substantial way."

"It's why I felt the Brexit argument about sovereignty and being forced into things was so spurious. The worst example of an EU rule we were 'forced into' I could find was some food labels (which BTW we still use)."

How much did you look? Or did you find examples of rules the UK was forced into and decide you agree with them.

Here's an example of why the opt-outs were never reliable, like so much else about the EU's supposed democratic mechanisms.

When the European Convention on Human Rights was written - with major input from the UK - it was meant as a general statement of principle, and is thus filled with vague and contradictory language. It was never meant to be law. Many decades later the EU decided it should be transformed into binding law on every EU member. The UK and Poland quite sensibly pointed out that this would go badly and it would be impossible to predict the consequences. So they negotiated an opt-out.

The opt-out was called Protocol 30 and is written in the plainest and clearest English the negotiators could write. It even restates the same thing twice "for the avoidance of doubt". It appeared to contain no loopholes. Nonetheless, just a few years later the ECJ passed a ruling that the opt-out was void. They simply annulled it and because EU membership means accepting ECJ supremacy, that was the end of the "opt-out". Overnight, EU human rights law took effect in the UK too: exactly the thing the government thought it had prevented.

To rub salt in the wound, the case before the court was to do with sending an "asylum seeker" back to Greece under the Dublin Convention. This was a now dead part of EU law that stated the country that decides to allow an asylum seeker into the EU must process them. The ECJ decided that actually it didn't like this rule, because it was "unfair", and so annulled that too along the way, with the justification that Greece was such a hellhole it would infringe his human rights to send the asylum seeker back. Again, nobody reasonable saw that coming and the rules as written just evaporated the moment they came into conflict with EU ideology.

The history of the EU is full of stories like this. When you learn enough about it, you eventually realize that the treaties and rules are meaningless. It doesn't matter how clearly everyone seems to understand an agreement, tomorrow they might have come up with some Kafka-esque justification for why it didn't actually mean what everyone said it meant. These changes always seem to be to the benefit of the EU institutions themselves, not the people.

Such a system of government can never be accountable or trustworthy. Law has to be interpreted as written, not simply discarded the moment it becomes inconvenient. As such the Brexit supporters were right to claim the opt-outs were meaningless. Especially given the pro-EU sentiment of much of the establishment.

> So we've shifted the goalposts

No... why do you think that?

> The top 10% of the population hold 70% of the total wealth.

That's basically been the case everywhere, all the time. In other countries the 'top 10%' has changed hands through revolution, war, etc, but it's still 10% controlling 70% (or whatever) - because they take the last 10%'s 70% and carry on! No goal posts moved there.

Someone asked a separate question about revolution, and I said even that's not successfully happened where I live. I wasn't making a broader point with that answer to that question.

> "all of human history" to "in my country" and only for the past "1000 years"

US has made the "moral argument" to persuade India from not buying Russian oil

https://www.dailypioneer.com/2022/india-abroad/india-s-oil-p...

"India's oil purchases from Russia would not violate any of the sanctions imposed by the US on that country, according to President Joe Biden's Spokesperson Jen Psaki.

Asked during her briefing on Tuesday about reports that India was planning to buy "discounted crude oil' from Russia, she said, "Our message to any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions that we have put in place and recommended."

However, she added, "I don't believe this would be violating that."

Making a moral appeal to cut off petroleum commerce, she added, "But also think about where you want to stand when the history books are written. In this moment in time any support for Russia, the Russian leadership, is support for an invasion that obviously is having a devastating impact".

However, NATO allies of the US continue to import Russian gas and petroleum."

Amazons already building apartments at HQ2 and I believe Seattle as well - https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/26/22593871/amazon-key-for-b...

Amazon can't build apartment complexes on top of their warehouses because many of their warehouses are already 3 or 4 floors, and the obvious zoning issues of building complexes in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of other warehouses.
Yes.

You're not seeing the full picture because you're not looking at the problem long-term. The cheap housing of today is the expensive stuff built 30-40 years ago that has depreciated. I drive by mansions built in the early 1900s that have become apartments for college students.

Houses depreciate as tastes in style and location shift over the years. I've walked through ghettos where the buildings have beautiful Italianate brick work that probably cost a fortune to build new.

In 30 years, those trendy apartment buildings you see popping up all over will be subsidized housing.
Well, that's not what the data is showing. Why are you trying to create a narrative that is not trying to explain what we observe? Smarter people leave the field earlier and the author offers a compelling explanation why.
Looking at the code, it seems like it is more of a class project rather than a highly optimized library.

It is using mutexes, condition variables, and futures to write a pretty much textbook implementation of a thread pool.

However, there will be significant contention, as all the workers are reading from the same queue, and the submissions are going to the same queue.

There are not multiple queues with work-stealing which is I think a minimum for a production level version of something like this.

EDIT:

IIRC C++ Concurrency in Action by Anthony Williams has a nice discussion of the issues of building a C++ thread pool using the C++ standard library. It does address things like contention and work-stealing.

This entire thing has been some kind of bizarre politics induced self flagellation. Regardless of whether or not you think it is right or wrong, it has been no secret for decades that this conflict would be an outcome of Ukraine alignment with the west, yet the west continued to pursue it even after 2014, even with the huge increased dependency on Russian and Ukrainian resources while limiting domestic investment in energy because of ESG policies. And this is just the sprinkle on top of the inflation sundae that they have cooked up these last couple years.

Now everyone is in too deep with costs so high, there is limited ability to back out and save face and spin the story without it looking like the massive screw up with huge costs and limited benefit that it has been.

It doesn't fall flat. Brian is ostensibly taking no accountability here.
Maybe, but there are still a number of problems, even assuming Korolev could have solved the problems in N1's development history that had already been around for years by the time he died.

Let's look at the timeline: Saturn V was rolled out onto the launchpad in May of '66, maiden flight in November '67. In February '66, they tested the Apollo CSM.

Meanwhile, N1 made it onto the launchpad in November '67, but wasn't tested until February '69. Even assuming Korolev's survival could have moved up the dates, there's not a lot of time here between test flights to crewed missions. The LOK wasn't even flying until December of 1970, on a Proton rocket since N1 wasn't ready. But even assuming N1 had had its first test flights in '68, how long do you think it would have taken to go from that, to testing LOK, to actually landing someone on the Moon? Probably more than a single year.

Finally, let's look at something entirely unrelated to the troubled N1 program: the matter of rendezvous. It was important enough to master that Protect Gemini was devoted entirely to getting rendezvous working as smoothly as possible. The US conducted the first rendezvous in December '65, first docking in March '66, and several more successful tests with Gemini after that (all manned missions), as well as a rendezvous in Earth orbit with Apollo 7 in October '68 and lunar orbit with Apollo 9 and 10 in March/May '69.

Meanwhile, the first rendezvous/docking by the Soviets was in October '67, by unmanned crafts that used more fuel than expected, and their follow-up attempt with Soyuz 2/3 in October '68 failed to rendezvous after running out of fuel to maneuver. Their first success with manned rendezvous wasn't until January '69.

It wasn't impossible that the Soviets could have gotten extraordinarily lucky on numerous fronts if he hadn't died, but I wouldn't call it realistic, or in fact reasonable.
