All of this is irrelevant for 1Password, as their architecture has an "account key" component & a "password" component combined to form the full key. 1Password SaaS never knows neither one. 1P SaaS is essentially a plain file host for a fully-encrypted database per-customer (technically per-vault so that different users can share vaults, and thus own keys to the same DB without sharing their own DB).

This is also why I personally picked 1Password (and have used them for ~10 years) out of all options, because their original OPVault format (which I synced via Dropbox as a plain file host) and current SaaS format had these safeguards.

Here's the whitepaper explaining this: https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p...
My (possibly incorrect) understanding is that this goes all the way back to Jacob and Esau, if one considers the Bible as purely a historical reference and not a religious text.
Manufacturing processors is expensive.

Not really. I'd say designing processors is expensive in engineering costs, and open designs are already pretty impressive and can be used as starting points. It's also expensive to optimize a design for a given process, which is necessary to get the best performance (probably by a factor of two?) from the design/process. So I'd expect the foundries to start offering optimized RISC-V cores to SoC designers as part of their offerings - especially as we reach the end of scaling.
Well amazon.com doesn't help me much, although they can handle customs to europe for me (it's more trouble dealing with customs than the actual VAT value).

As for Intel machines, most i've found lately seem to be oriented towards home theater, a lot of useless (to me) video outputs and never enough network cards.

Not sure how low power they are either. This is the Intel that seems to have stopped caring about power consumption completely to win the speed race, and people are buying so why would thy care?

Right now I'm still using a dual core Atom Dsomething from I don't remember when, its main quality is it eats 15 W including 2 spinny discs (2.5" 5400 rpm). An Orange Pi with a ssd and the GPU turned off might eat even less.
Japan to probe Google over 'suspicion' that antitrust laws are being broken
This article feels like it is walking on eggshells of previous controversial topics while also acknowledging the evidence for them.

Also this sentence is just strange to me. The whole point of open science is peer review and truth I thought?

> An initial rush to respond to the pandemic produced a flood of observational and non-randomized studies in this area, he says, which spread more confusion than illumination.

The common "streetlight effect" bias comes to mind:

> A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has lost. He says he lost his keys and they both look under the streetlight together. After a few minutes the policeman asks if he is sure he lost them here, and the drunk replies, no, and that he lost them in the park. The policeman asks why he is searching here, and the drunk replies, "this is where the light is".

Shutting down the three last nuclear reactors in the middle of an energy crisis was probably one of the most moronic things in world politics during the last 5000 years.
Industry's failure to anticipate political enforcement of electric vehicle adoption? Over-relaince on Russia for energy (to decode the natural gas comment). Both political complaints. Perhaps German industry just predicts their long term future differently.
It's a lot easier to have no obvious flaws than obviously having no flaws. Complexity is one hell of a drug. sigh
This feels like a marketing piece without any good content.

The way it's described, it's not a knapsack problem at all. The knapsack problem is to maximize the total value of the items you fit into the container.

In reconciliation, you presumably want to get the best matching between transactions, which is not defined here, and in any case is a completely different problem.

Ignoring the knapsack comparison, the article doesn't describe why you'd want to check each possible combination. Assuming the individual amounts are correct, you can do each batch separately - no need to check each combination within one batch with each combination of a different batch. (And if you drop that assumption, that still won't be a sensible thing to do).

I can imagine you can have a "scoring" algorithm that gives a confidence score for a match - then if you check every combination, you can pick the combination with the best overall score. But the article doesn't actually describe anything like that.

It also doesn't describe any alternatives to "AI". For example, what about a greedy algorithm? What about alternative methods to do address comparisons? I'm sure there are issues with those, but none of that is described here.
Why not? There are androgen and estrogen receptors in many tissues throughout the body.

Aren't we saying the same thing?
Added to OP: default DNS -> my ISP's default DNS.
Absolutely, I'm not saying a 64bit instruction length with 5/6/7/8 bits of registers would be bad per se. In fact I'd be interested to see where it leads.

But if you have a processor that also uses 16 bit instructions those extra registers become unusable. Thumb can't encode all registers in all instructions so you have the high registers that are significantly less useful than the low registers.

X86 is the same, never really done 64bit ASM so I don't know if they improved that.

So then you may aswell just divide up the registers so you've got 16 general purpose registers and 16 registers for simd or whatever.
It is bizarre tbh. I've had people say "why are they only talking about covid heard damage now, after the vaccines?"

But we were all talking about this way back in 2020. People just have strange memories and attention windows.

Any wing will agree that Germany's energy policy has been bad. They shut down their nuclear production and replaced it with lignite.
Arm's case isn't about the ISA, it's about use of IP developed by Nuvia with help from Arm under Nuvia's Arm license being used in a way that isn't compatible with the terms of Nuvia's license.

IANAL but I'd be astonished if they get away with that IP making its way into RISC-V designs, if Arm win.

Plus, they won't have anything RISC-V based available in anywhere near the required timescales. They're still arguing about the ISA after all!
That is not normal in the UK, even for software developers.
> the compensation becomes high for no good reason

Not for no good reason - supply and demand. Literally the most important corner stone of any capitalistic system. The rest of your paragraph is based on your forced assumption of "no reason".

> Maybe you make more money by not letting a Syrian immigrant to cook food and compete with you but you also pay more to have your apartment painted because they didn't let some other Syrian immigrant compete in the painting business.

I'd say you're undervaluing apartment painting. Which is obvious since you're advocating having to fly in people from a destroyed country to do it.

In other words: Low paying jobs wouldn't sit around for long going undone. The market would adjust. Either they're jobs that shouldn't exist in the first place and need to vanish, or they are underpaid and the market would adjust by paying them better.

Try envisioning a world where a person who does a hard shitty job gets paid the same as a highly trained person sitting in front of a PC all day. Cleaning toilets is essential for our society to function and should be a respectable profession. It might not take a lot of education, but it's a hard job none the less The only reason hard jobs like this are not paid what they're worth, is trickery like immigration.
That certainly could be a factor in some people having bad experiences in America at least–as I understand it insurance coverage for mental health is often limited or bad, and appointments with doctors are hard to come by and often only last 15 minutes.

The UK is still a member of the ECHR, so there are human rights.
The anti-terrorism act used in this case allows detention of no more than 1 hour, or no more than 6 hours under certain conditions. Arrest involves other charges so what you described could happen, but not without turns.
Swing applications are famous for a reason, and it isn't because they are an example of excelency.

It is not an accident that Swing only survives as toolkit for developer tooling, and Java is mostly relevant on the server.

Because you just haven't seen a correct implementation of AGILE.
If we look at the AGILE Manifesto then we know for sure that there is no way this would ever be allowed if applied perfectly.
And humans excel at perfect implementations.

Begone with the naysayers that keep deriding our objectively pure implementation of AGILE.

Okay, okay, I can't anymore, its too much, I agree.

So how about we just fight fire with fire.
I propose a new religion named JOUST.

I don't have the energy or time to invent more than the name. Use AI to create the system.
Start amplifying the signal that JOUST is the new AGILE and soon, we will have a new word for micromanagement.

I have seen two distinct implementations of AGILE and neither has left me thinking that anything was gained.

I also have a deep resentment for the word sprint.
Sprint means go at the fastest possible pace, yet there is no downtime in between sprints?

Bad analogies are great.
Show me a cheetah that sprints 5 days a week for 9 hours a day with 2 days of "rest" in between.

Considering that Europe's border in the East is the Ural Mountains range I'd say "Central Europe" is actually quite accurate?

(also - stating the obvious - but "Europe" and "EU" are entirely different things)
And why did that happen, do we suppose? Disruption of the ecosystem is always the answer. Let's think, what disruption has been occurring steadily for decades?
And UK left EU, no new people can come and wages are going up. Are the living standards going up too? Nope.

If you want to see a higher number in the bank account and pay higher numbers for everything, be my guest but that's not going to solve your problems. Inflation is not a saviour.

Ed Fredkin on meeting John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky [video]
For Spotify and Tele2 at least these are cost-of-doing business fines. The GDPR can fine up to 4% of revenue. Spotify's revenue is about €17 billion, so the fine is about 0.03%. For Tele2 the fine amounts to 0.05%.

Grindr did get almost 3%, so that would be at the megafines level. Wonder how much they gained by selling the data though.

In comparison, I'd get easily fined over 3% of my yearly wage for shoplifting here in Finland. And of course would lose whatever I lifted. For Grindr-level privacy crimes I'd probably get a prison sentence. If you want to break the law, better make it for shareholder profit.
Being "responsive to changes" has absolutely no relation with "volume of work".

Agile is about being responsive to changes. And yeah, the bad specifications are included. Anybody that makes it about volume of work is dishonest (but I do agree that's the norm).

We should not let dishonest people bastardize our language to the point we can't communicate. And the most obvious way to fight back is to call them on their lies.

(And yeah, it's implicit but it's very clear that agile is supposed to decrease the volume of work. You can't decide to optimize for something else and not suffer there.)
The decision to shut the down was met years before said crisis. Run times were extended as much as possible (safety, maintennace, fuel).
Edit: I didn't know that we have reliable information geo politics dating back to almost 3000 BC. Regardless, the last decade has plenty examples of worse decisions than Germany buying gas from Russia.

Yes. This makes it significantly better than most existing cancer treatments, which simply kill all dividing cells, thereby killing cancer faster since it divides faster. (Specific cancers have better treatments, but those treatments are one-per-very-specific-cancer and sometimes -per-cancer-per-person, which is very expensive and limited and not available for all cancers.) This treatment targets a type of cancer that is very hard to treat otherwise, and can actually treat several types of cancer!

A hobby project of mine right now:

I love Inform 6's declarative style for objects.

I love LambdaMOO's parsing system. Especially how it matches verbs, objects, predicates.

I love C#. Especially using Reflection and Attributes. I'm using Method Attributes to decorate like how LambdaMOO has a toy duck you can wind, [Verb("wind", Specifier.This)] void Wind() {}.

I love xterm.js.

I love Web Sockets.

So, I'm trying to cram them all together. I kind of want to make a server that can support multiple single-player Text Adventure games happening at the same time... and I also kind of want to make a MUD.
The lesson for me from this case is that these privacy controls are like a steering wheel on a child's stroller. They give you the illusion of control.

> Hang on. Limiting the Icache to only 32bit aligned access actually simplifies it.

Even x86 only reads 16 or 32 byte aligned fields out of the I$, then shifts them. There's not extra I$ complexity. You still have to do that shift at some point, in case you don't jump 32 byte aligned address. You also ideally don't want to only hit peak decode bandwidth starting on aligned 32 byte program counters, so that whole shift register thing is pretty much a requirement. And that's where most of the propagation delays are.

> RISC-V code is only about 6-14% denser than Aarch64 [1], I'm really not sure the extra complexity is worth it. Especially since Aarch64 still ends up with a lower instruction count, so it will be faster whenever you are decode limited instead of icache limited.

There's heavy use of fusion, and fwiw, the M1 also heavily fuses into micro ops too (and I'm sure the AArch64 morph of NUVIA's cores do too).

Common sense doesn't get customers. This at the end of the day is what matters. Not code correctness. Not perfection in the functions. Not how fast the application boots up/loads/executes.

Will anybody pay you for it and ever use it is the selection function that really matters.

These big companies have the users. The big companies also have insane rules (mostly to protect themselves from the massive number of incompetents they've hired). Welcome to the trap of modern software.

I bought bitcoin for a few dollars. When it was around $1500 and I was a broke college student I sold.

I'm not even upset, I have negative feelings towards crypto in general and that was a part of reason for selling. Everyone I know who is into crypto was always excited NOT to pay taxes. Plus, there is just so much scams and fraud in the space. I'm all in index funds now.

I do know a guy who became a millionaire because of BTC.
>Would have been smarter to empty the gun, take it apart, and dump the pieces in different trash cans that aren't under surveillance. Wether the trash on the plane or a toilet before customs check.

1. This is China, not North Korea. China isn’t salivating at the thought of detaining a lowly state senator. I don’t see the motivation for China to do a show of force on a minor government official.

2. The failure of this plan is way more risky and could actually trigger an international issue. What do you do when a janitor finds a disassembled gun in the trash and they determine it was left by a state senator? That is way more suspicious.

Now you're accusing "The government of Palestine" and not just Hamas!!

So what? if they killed 1000 "innocent" people, how many Israel should kill to make their revenge? Until this moment Israel has killed more than 5800 (and still counting) also innocent people, and most of them are women and children.

Killing more people won't help, finding a solution for the original situation is the only way for Palestine and Israel people to have peace.

Yeah, I'm absolutely concerned about that too. Particularly considering that Apple apparently owns a bunch of the patents around AArch64 and cross-licenses them with ARM, so there's some ownership in there somewhere that lawyers have looked at and think are valid.
