Free markets don't allocate capital in the best way measured by societal goodness. They allocate capital in the most efficient way relative to the demands of other participants.

This means that goods/services are regularly not produced because it is unprofitable. If for some reason local news is profitable, then anyone that wants to consume it could easily step in to produce it.

Efficiency doesn't necessarily mean good. But it does prevent or at least minimize wasteful economic activity. Anything outside that realm is a good candidate for a hobby.
(in english below for those interested in following)

De financiering van sportvelden is meestal het domein van de gemeenten en deelstaten. De sportteams worden vaak gefinancierd door fondsenwerving, donaties/sponsoring en/of lidmaatschapsgelden. Dat gezegd hebbende, heeft een groot percentage van de bevolking (vooral de kansarme jeugd) geen toegang tot speelplekken of de middelen om een team te runnen (uniformen, sportuitrusting), vooral in de grotere gemeenten. De kosten van bijvoorbeeld grond in New York of Seattle om toe te wijzen aan een voetbalveld zijn astronomisch. Als gevolg daarvan zijn de meeste sportvelden/-arena's (bijv. hockeypistes) dag en nacht volgeboekt.

Helaas - in de VS worden veel sporten pay-to-play en alleen beschikbaar voor de welgestelden. Dit is vooral duidelijk bij sporten zoals skiën - waar een dagpas van ongeveer $ 80 per dag ging tot dichter bij $ 150 / dag op sommige heuvels.

Financing sports fields is usually the domain of the municipalities and state governments. The sports teams are often funded by fundraising, donations/sponsorship, and/or membership fees. With that said, a large percentage of the population (in particular the underserved youth) don't have access to places to play or the funds to run a team (uniforms, sports equipment), especially in the larger municipalities. For example, the cost of land in New York or Seattle to allocate to a soccer field is astronomical. As an effect, most sports fields/arenas (e.g. hockey rinks) are just fully booked up at all hours of the day and night.

Sadly - in the US, many sports are becoming pay-to-play and only available to the well-to-do. This is especially evident in sports like skiing - where a day pass went from around $80 a day to closer to $150/day at some hills.

Embeds in general can lead to this suspicion, not the attack itself. I've seen people question "why am I logged in to these Facebook comments? Does Facebook know I visited this site?", which then leads to them discovering recommendations that others have commented on here. They don't even need to know anything technical beyond "install this addon to stop Facebook from spying on you" and poof, this attack doesn't work anymore.

Housing First is clearly the best strategy to solve homelessness, but it should not be confused with Housing Only, which the article has plenty of examples of.

Using a mismanaged Housing First program to argue against Housing First is also borderline absurd, I agree with you there.
Options include:

1. send them to extremely cheap housing in bumfuck

2. jail

3. let them be homeless if thats what they want

Imo most of the people who think this way are addicts or mentally ill and should be involuntarily committed, so my preferred option is

4. Rebuild the asylums and commit people(with heavy oversight) who are completely incapable of caring for themselves. Although this option is similar to 2

Define "misinformation". Since at this point, anything one doesn't like can be defined as 'misinformation' these days.

I think everyone already has had enough of these nonsensical narratives on both sides like the 2016 calls still screaming in denial of 'our election was hijacked' or 'he knows he is an illegitimate president' and in 2020 about the tired 'rigged elections' and 'dead people still voting' and the like.

You should understand that the media is once again placing in distractions like this to light more outrage as the election year is around the corner.

Almost everyone fell for it in 2016. Then again in 2020. Don't fall for it again and don't listen to the media biases. They want even more outrage next year.

There's a type of side-channel attack you can do to get around CORS but still leak limited information.

Suppose you want to detect whether one of N pre-chosen users of FakeMail (a service I made up) have visited a malicious page you control. Let's also say that in FakeMail:

1. you can see a hi-res version of your profile pic only if you're authenticated

2. only you can see your own hi-res profile pic

3. the path to this private pic is unique to each user, e.g. `/users/{user_id}/private_pic`

The trick then is to embed an `<img>` tag with a `src` to this private, hi-res profile pic for each of the N pre-chosen targets in your malicious page. Then, in `onerror` and `onload` event handlers of `img`, you can implement logic to handle "user X is not here" and "user X is here" respectively.

Of course, this attack could be thwarted by SameSite cookies or browsers with protection against cross-site use of cookies. And it's rather hard to find FakeMail's exact three conditions needed to pull off such an attack. AND just add one more, your targets have to be authenticated to FakeMail. It might seem like an attack that's not viable, but this has happened before, and iirc it was called XS-Leaks for a while when I first heard of it.
> “If you’re an average internet user, you may not think too much about your privacy when you visit a random website,” says Reza Curtmola, one of the study authors and a computer science professor at NJIT. "But there are certain categories of internet users who may be more significantly impacted by this, like people who organize and participate in political protest, journalists, and people who network with fellow members of their minority group."

I get so dizzied by statements like this. It's almost as if researchers want to undermine their own work. Privacy can be essential for certain groups, but it should be a priority for everyone. Frankly I'm not even sure the statement about minority groups is true anymore. We've seen unmasking used by corporations, interest groups, governments, etc against a wide variety of people with dangerous outcomes.

I'd prefer we refactor messaging to make people realize that this is important to everyone and that we lay an impotus to do something about it, especially as governments all over the world are moving to eliminate personal and online privacy.

As far as I know they can get it reviewed without reaching "recommended" status. My point is these are security researchers that didn't bother getting it reviewed. Surely they'd go through the effort to get it reviewed if they really wanted to convince people it was safe, right? Seems to imply to me there's something that would get it removed if Mozilla did review it.

Edit: I guess maybe reviewed and recommended are the same (I swear they were different at one point), but there is an email you can send to suggest extensions to reach this status.
What I always wonder about with these systems is how feedback was delivered to the cultured neurons. How do we tell them they're doing things correctly? Or is this some form of unsupervised learning with them?

Neither AMD or Intel have taken ML seriously enough. GOOG has TPUs but those are pretty much only for Google. Meta may be building their own ML accelerator chips as well, but again, those will likely stay inside of Meta.

> CUDA... is here to stay for a very long time.

Yes, this unfortunately seems to be the case. It would've been great to have more competition in this space. CUDA is closed source which sometimes leads to issues, but it works and is well supported by Nvidia and still has the first-mover advantage. I still have some hope for OneAPI (from Intel) but I'm not holding my breath.

The hardware has the ability to tag packets with certain contents - this is used for more interesting Wake-on-LAN policies (eg, rather than requiring a magic packet, you could have a web server that aggressively suspends and then gets automatically woken when there's an incoming packet to port 80 or 443). In the AMT case, it identifies incoming packets that are aimed at the AMT ports and passes those off to the ME rather than the OS. If you want to speak to AMT from the host OS, you install an app that listens to those ports on localhost and then tunnels the traffic through the HECI interface instead. There's only one IP address and one MAC address, and it's limited to built-in Intel NICs.
> From basic physics -- of course it can.

How exactly does physics allow a disposable mask that completely lacks a barrier to entry on the sides filter the air?

> In hospitals, the word “airborne” is associated with a rigid set of protective methods, including the use of N95 respirators by workers and negative pressure rooms for patients. These are resource-intensive and legally required.

https://time.com/6162065/covid-19-airborne-transmission-conf...

Medical professionals are not only required to use at least an n95 mask, they are required to keep it so tightly fitted to their face that unfiltered air cannot leak in through the sides. So tightly fitted that it digs into their skin.

What I find odd is that if there are aliens here, why are they making themselves just barely visible and how are they accomplishing this small level of visibility?

How do they know exactly where to be so that multiple aircraft can kind of see them, but zero people are able to get high quality video or pictures? It seems like a very narrow window of exposing your existence. So narrow that it could only be intentional. But why do it at all?

Honestly, social housing isn't my preferred solution. My solution is radical upzoning; removal of minimum unit-sizes; drastically simplify the approval/permit process and remove all local hearings etc. from the process, if it fits the regulations, you can build it; forced rehab for addicts; institutionalize mentally ill who cannot take care of themselves (this is the hardest part, I am least certain about).
For the keyboard/mouse now being small computers that's been true since the 1970s. Almost all keyboards for a period of about 30 years had an 8048 or 8051 CPU. It's how they serialized the keystrokes. From the model M keyboard through to everything up till the USB era.

If Lisa Su wants Nvidia's crown then she's going to have to actually compete.

That means creating the most awesome products possible at the lowest price practical.

In GPU's, AMD is doing the exact opposite.

And winning GPUs is what will allow winning AI.

Put another way, AMD simply does not compete with Nvidia - it trails along behind, trying to match the Nvidia products in specs, and being slightly less ridiculously expensive.

AMD GPUs are overpriced and AMD's most recent GPUs - the 7600 is garbage - this is not a strategy that is going to win any crown.
NVidia loves to cite steam surveys to mislead customers but the truth is they have 0% market share in consoles (not in steam surveys) and the new AMD M780 iGPU (7940hs APU) just wiped out NVidia's entire MX product line and is literally 2x faster than Intel's best iGPU and equal to an m1650 laptop GPU! If they are not careful NVidia could fall below 50% of the graphics market very very soon!

I remember a time when ATI 9600 was the #1 card on the market. It can come again, and quicker than you think ...
Because not all the air goes through the sides. Some of it goes through, you know, the mask itself.

Just because N95s are clearly better doesn't mean disposables are useless. Because, like, basic logic and stuff.
It keeps the logs cleaner. If you either don't look at the logs at all, or have fancy log analysis systems, then it does not matter. But if you are in the middle, and just manually look at the logs every once in a while, this would be a great help.

If you are logging in via ssh, the chances of being locked out arr low - using password auth is a bad idea, and once you set up ssh keys, the connection will always succeed. And in case of rare event like new system setup, you can always ssh via some other system, -J is great for that.

Not sure why this is downvoted. We are supposed to be on a forum where the majority here are people trained on science and engineering. If a rational argument as the one above gets downvoted in HN, well, I can only imagine what the rest of the society (who doesn’t even hold a degree) thinks about this kind of topic.
Forcing people into treatment was our standard approach to this problem for decades and it worked very well. We need to bring it back.

There should be zero people doing meth on the street; if you see one it should be a single phone call to have the cops pick that person up and send them to the secured treatment facility on the edge of town.

This really is not complex or cruel or novel.
> we all need to surrender power to our betters

Huh? Who even thinks that?

Power or no power to our betters is mostly inconsequential in comparison to the chance of AI taking the top place on the intelligence podium. Somehow if that is actually coming I don't see how "betters" could do anything about it.
In general the ME will only be listening for network traffic if you've enabled AMT functionality (which is restricted to certain enterprise SKUs and has requirements around which networking hardware is used and so on). Otherwise, the ME will expose a PCI device implementing the Host Embedded Controller Interface (HECI) and OS drivers can bind to that to offer an interface to applications.
