This is not bashing on the OP who may be innocent of this, but I swear there is a type of person who demands DATA! with the fervor of faith in academics that would make the apostles blush. The eternal hyper-fearful spiritual serf afraid of disobeying the masters of the age and instantly CYA's by running to his priest. For all the SCIENCE they screech, they have no concept of what the kind of research that would produce the DATA! they want might even look like; far from curiosity, it is the absolute form of incuriosity: they want to enter all life's questions into SSRN and have The Anointed tell them the right answer.
ActivityPub is very narrowly targeted at Twitter/Facebook/Diaspora type of social app. It doesn't strike me as particularly well suited for real-time or indeed any kind of secure communication.

I don’t think you can. Apple owns real estate, intellectual property, and tons of tangible physical assets. The market is not going to decide Apple’s patents are worthless, California Real Estate is worthless, their factories and manufacturing equipment is worthless until there’s some world-ending cataclysm.
Verizon switched from low cap cellular plans (2 GB) to unlimited*. The network is much more congested now that people don't think twice about streaming video.

*The normal plan gets deprioritized after a threshold. The cheap plan is always low priority. The super duper plan is never deprioritized but video throughput is capped.

Ads often mention the price of the product. The article goes on and on about the supposed benefits of giving your kid a smart watch, specifically the Apple brand of smart watch, contrasting it favorably to buying them a phone instead.

At the very least, it's not negative coverage of Apple. Even if you think it neutral coverage (I don't), it's a counter-example to the supposed directive that all tech coverage have a negative tone. And they categorized it as tech news, not business news.

I do the same - I separate "firehose" feeds that have dozens or more updates a day, from feeds that may update once a month. The latter is likely more important and cannot be lost in the noise of the former.

It is a very small microcosm of how we say we want social media feeds to work (chronological) but why algorithms are everywhere.

Selling game/item codes is a grey area on eBay. eBay restricts the selling of digital goods to approved sellers, but it is theoretically possible to circumvent this by physically mailing codes to buyers. The problem is that this side hustle seems to frequently result in chargeback/return fraud, wherein buyers purchase codes and then claim they don't work.

I've sold ~$50k worth of items on eBay over the years and have had a mixed record dealing with eBay's customer's service. Unfortunately, eBay tends to side with buyers, leaving sellers prone to various fraudulent schemes by buyers. However, they sometimes will protect sellers. For example, I sold a Panasonic Toughpad that a buyer spuriously claimed wouldn't connect to cellular networks (I tested the tablet beforehand and everything was working properly.) The buyer attempted to extort me by saying he would leave a positive review if I gave him a partial refund and implying he would leave a negative review if I didn't (this is a big no-no on eBay). Given that I had written evidence of this behavior, customer support sided with me and closed the case and removed the negative review the buyer left. Not every situation will have a fortunate outcome like this though.

If you think someone's leaving money on the table with high fees you should start your own exchange. Of course before you even got off the ground you'd have to register as a MSB, draft a very extensive compliance plan given the "high risk" nature of your industry, find a banking partner who will even consider accepting you and hopefully won't kick you out after you get too big (you may have to buy a credit union if this step doesn't work out), get a money transmitter license in every state except Montana (which by the way all require a substantial bond, application fees, and delays), find former regulators who are now $1500/hr lawyers who still have some influence at NY DFS in order to get approved in New York, get approved for ACH, spend at least $50k a month on Chainlysis and OFAC screening software in order to placate regulators, and of course you actually have to write the exchange backend too. If you want to offer leverage (you will in order to be competitive with other exchanges) you need to have a pretty sophisticated risk management system because liquidations in crypto don't work like they do anywhere else. And you have to pay a browser fingerprinting vendor $20k/mo too because your halfwit customers will get phished and cause you bad publicity if you don't stop it. You'll also need Onfido or some other identity verification company in order to satisfy 31 CFR § 1020.220. But yes, once it's all set up it's a practically license to print money.

If you do 1:30th oversubscription the a monthly data cap of 1/30th of your hypothetical bandwidth is fine. That’s easily enough to catch torrent junkies and your network is likely only congested for a small fraction of the day.

However, a bandwidth cap of 1/10,000th or less the hypothetical monthly cap has got nothing to do with how congested your network is.
The important thing with elections isn't necessarily some abstract idea that the process itself is perfectly fair, but that people accept that it is. The process must be well known in advanced and every step auditable by all sides in real time.

It is important that the losing party can not blame the process, in order for the result to be accepted by both sides.

RATM's first public show in 91: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMq-qAn3otE

You may think that.
I've been a huge fan of RATM since the early 90s, but I don't think that "A brand new band mixing metal and hip hop like no one had done before" is quite true. My understanding is that the music scene in LA had a lot of bands like this. I believe the band Downset pre-dates them, and they had a big hit called "Anger".

I only wish they had a bigger impact in politics. For all of their incredible songs, almost nothing came of it, besides the famous protest of the DNC conference in LA. I wish they had more impact especially during the Bush years, when we really needed an anti-government voice, but it never came to be, unfortunately.

That doesn't seem to make much sense to me. LL are useful in cases where you deal with changing lists, where you'd be forced to allocate and deallocate memory often. If you know before hand the exact or approximate size of the list and it's contents you can store that continuously in memory with greater cache locality because you're not storing pointers in addition to data. Seems to me the use case of LL is perhaps as ill suited for cache locality as the structure itself

There are essentially no vectors in most of the embedded world, including RTOS. Why would you need that many extra copies of data?

Coopies are not free. Not in terms of stack, neither in terms of memory or its bandwidth. Both of which are in demand there.

For an example, look into how most of Zephyr RTOS is implemented. It's mostly intrusive lists (called queues there for some reason, but they support iteration) or ring buffers (msgq or mpsc_pbuf or pipe).
For bigger systems you can use red-black trees.

There is no vector data structure, you can allocate a block from the heap and manage its size manually, but it's rarely done as most sizes are static and many data structures are preallocated by the bootloader or loaded directly from flash memory. Cache locality of these is of course possible to manipulate manually by use of memory sections.

A list does not copy by default, which is an extremely important performance characteristic. And it does not require overallocation like a vector of pointers, plus has a fast remove, especially at head or tail.
First of all "controlling digital assets" is a solution in search of a problem, for a majority of people anyway. Secondly, in order for that to be even remotely possible, the first thing that is needed is trust. You can't replace that by any algorithm.

Trust isn't there, and for good reason. Rug-pulls are rampant. Entities that present themselves as solvent one day fall down like a house of cards the next day. It is the Wild West, complete with gamblers, snake-oil salesmen, and bandits, and the sheriff is just another bandit.

The major "innovation" crypto brought has been in leveraging psychological manipulation techniques previously used by cults and sects in order to quickly part foolish people from their money. The math part is just a distraction.

I think the point at which "popular but wrong" starts winning out is way lower than you think are implying it is when you're talking about internet cesspools that have a cross section of the general public (Twitter, Reddit, 4Chan, etc).

If you're talking about a forum or somewhere that the casually interested internet riff raff won't dominate the bar moves higher.

That said, I'd rather have internet idiots do group fact checking than have established institutions be in charge of it.
Would you mind elaborating on js arrays intelligently changing their internal structure based on use? My background is only JS/Python and have never touched C++ so I don’t have the context of how these differ.
Sure C++ is a tad better than C but compared to e.g. Rust and Zig it's pretty convoluted and verbose when trying to achieve things that they achieve with 2-5 liners.

And even if modern C++ is amazing -- I have no doubt it's improving all the time -- that doesn't change the fact that there are metric tons of C++ code out there that nobody will ever modernize. So C++ getting improved with time is sadly an almost moot point.

I'd personally advocate for Rust but I've heard people say there are a few other languages that allow you to achieve the same memory safety so, by all means, let's please start rewriting and make our everyday tools something different than a Swiss cheese of potential and actual security threats. It really is time.

The language doesn't matter, the outcomes do. And in terms of outcomes I maintain that C and C++ have not stood the test of time in terms of security and amount of foot guns. Too much sentimental value is attached to them as well and that doesn't help matters either.

We work with tech. We don't make love with it. We should all start acting like this is a job and not [only] a hobby.

If that's the case, then they should advertise it as unlimited with throttling when you hit a certain threshold. That's at least consistent with how ATT/Verizon wireless internet use the term, etc...

It's honestly really a confusing way to state things, because it's shown as "1TB of priority access during peak access times". Which would seem to me to be a completely meaningless measure.

What are peak access times? How can I measure my priority access during peak access times? It seems overly complicated to me.

I'd rather they just say -- "We will throttle your access at peak congestion times, if necessary. During these times, your priority will be based on your monthly cumulative usage."
You misunderstand Microsoft's legal argument. They aren't saying that ambiguity in the licenses means that they're in compliance with them. Their argument is that what they're doing is fair use, so they don't need to follow the licenses.

> I believe they got what they deserved

To have their freedom of speech stifled? Fairly ironic considering your comment:

> So you don't believe in free speech, you just believe in freedom for the speech you agree with.

(Yes, yes, I'm aware they weren't arrested - they were just banned off the internet. Legally speaking, you're in the right.)

Anyways, yes, freedom of speech allows cancel culture to exist. Your argument seems to be along the lines of "whatever happens, happens" - as in, majority is right; if people decide to cancel you, you probably deserved it, and your free speech wasn't stifled. And it wasn't - US-legally speaking.

But I disagree with that notion, considering how cancel culture can cause damage comparable to being arrested. But that's just my opinion, eh?
So, was the company fine?
So glad this just isn't a thing in the UK.

Yes, services are contended (1/32 on my FTTP), so if everyone goes full beans the whole time it would slow down, but I never have issues, even at busy times on my 900/100 plan. Turns out, most people's usage is bursty, and even every home streaming simultaneously at 4K is only using a fraction of the bandwidth available on the GPON circuit.

I've used multiple TB a month (when working from home full time during the lockdown, with kids remote learning and spouse working remotely as well) and didn't get so much as a peep from my ISP. Unlimited really is unlimited.

It's just the 1st gen though. If they don't give up, they can still turn into a decent competitor.
True, but he's a CEO, that unfortunately means his public statements on Twitter will be taken into accounts as reflections of his leadership. Maybe that's unfair, but generally speaking leading a company means that you do what you need to do for the sake of the company, not try to negotiate what is fair (with few exceptions).

I mean, I guess that's his choice, but for someone who is so mission driven that he expects his employees to work 96 hour weeks, he doesn't seem to understand that his advertisers may have similar expectations on him to reflect stability on twitter for the sake of the mission.
I don't get it. Intel has, in broad strokes, generally had good products. Why do they have this odd affinity for anti-competitive behavior? Cheating on benchmarks, having their compiler artificially undermine performance on non-Intel CPUs, now tying GPUs to CPUs.
