TLDR: despite Friedman's best attempts to spin otherwise, not very well, unless you have a particular fondness for punishments being either extremely draconian or purely financial and think justice is improved if the likelihood of punishment is more closely related to the wealth and connections of the accuser.
Hah, what goes around comes around. It is notable that China is going gangbusters on building ARM variants rather than coming up with an entirely new architecture. Back in the USSR days when Sun was working with the ELVIS group they were required to have some Soviet designed machines in addition to the SparcStations that Sun provided. Those machines were not well liked by the researchers.
This is also how Go does it. It looks like Rust traits can do everything Go interfaces can do, and more?
So who is responsible in the DoJ for deciding that it's OK to let company directors do arms length crimes and they're going to look the other way.

Is there any question as to what Lenovo actually did, are they denying they exceeded their authorisation in accessing computers and MitM-ing things like bank transactions? If the facts aren't in dispute there then surely the only thing the court would need to do is work out how long the directors who authorised/oversaw [or negligently didn't oversee] this are going to be put in prison for.
My guess is that it's a combination of limited selection and higher prices. The OEMs seem to be treating this as a premium feature so it's simply not on the radar for the people looking to buy the cheapest (i.e. ad-ware subsidized) PC.
That's kind of the point I'm making. Given a choice, why should I promote few people in my inner circle over hundreds, thousands or more other people?

This really bothers me. There's a common mentality that says it's OK to harm countless of strangers in order to support yourself and your family. I think that is selfish.
So, the world might actually work if all of us self-police ourselves from self-corruption.
According to Wikipedia references it doesn't seem to be debunked at all.

It is distressing how every single one of your suggestions basically throws more money and puts more power in the hands of professors.

1) with little advancement and negotiating power, perma-docs will become basically overeducated and exploited. I mean, your suggestion has already happened with the creation of "staff scientist" position, with marginal improvement in quality of science. The phenomenon of "perma-doc" is basically railed against anyways. Why bother putting someone through 5-6 years of economic and advancement distress as a grad student when basically, they should have had on-the-job training as a tech to do what you are suggesting.

2) Lock fundraisers (professors) in to money for long periods of time with limited for accountability or checks. Yup. No way that could go wrong.

3) The more seasoned professors with grantmanship will then gravitate towards uncertain outcomes. Of course this is no guarantee that these professors will actually have the skill to execute, and you know, how do you judge the reasonableness of an experiment with a highly uncertain outcome? Actually, this already happens to a certain extent - have you been to any DARPA jamborees?
What would the criminal charges be? The best outline for a prosecution I've seen goes something like "CFAA, mumble mumble, spying is bad." What specific law was broken? Lay out the case. For bonus points, pretend you're the defense attorney, and then outline the defense's case.
Oh, neat. So does it remove them from the queue at some point later? Or can I go back after exiting a long afl-fuzz run and still see them?
I am pretty sure that is completely false, from what I have read of the early space program, it sounds like it had a way of devouring lives.

"The Apollo 11 crew calculated they spent 2000 hours in simulators between their selection in January and their flight in July 1969."

And the book makes numerous references to others at NASA working long hours too.

"Apollo had become intimately interwoven in the fabric of the waking hours of my life and often caused the remaining hours to be fewer than they should have been."
http://history.nasa.gov/SP-350/ch-7-1.html

"I'd be checking on alertness, especially among men who had been working long hours. Were they fatigued? Were they concentrating on the dials? Was there any unnecessary chit-chat going on?"

Why don't they do something similar but with ARM? We already have plenty of proven stuff working on that architecture.

Also, the propreties that they are getting feel like being knocked back a decade--is it due to the fabrication facilities that they have?
Yes the attorneys will get most of the money but it's still A Good Thing™ because Lenovo will pay millions in punitive fees that should serve as a deterrent to them and others.

That's not what's stopping the ugly problems of the world from getting fixed.

My last startup was (yet another) attempt to solve unemployment. As we got closer to the problem with our market research, built an initial product, and tried to sell it, we realized that the field is...well, let's call it "fractally fucked up". The job/employment market is a mess of millions of different actors, all of whom are doing the wrong thing because their incentives are perverse, they lack full information, and they wouldn't act on that information because they don't trust it even if they had it. You can't solve this problem by throwing around money, because you have to change behavior and you only change behavior through long-term, deliberate attention on the part of all of the individual actors.

I'd posit that all of the "ugly problems" of this world - unemployment, education, inequality, health care, human rights - result from similar fractally fucked-up systems. It is far, far easier to solve the problem for yourself and a small number of other people than to solve it for everyone. In some cases - like inequality or power dynamics - it's not possible to solve it for everyone, because the definition of the problem changes as you make progress.
Right. I'm asking this because of my experience running Tarsnap -- not that I think I would need any help in getting into YC if I decided that I wanted to drink the kool-aid and move to the bay area, but because I figure there must be plenty of other small companies building products which are used within the YC "family".

It would be a shame if YC missed out on good investments simply because their founders were too busy successfully running their own companies to have an opportunity to work at a YC-funded company.

You could have a CPU that updates itself to be able to emulate whatever new features come along in x86/AMD64 to therefore be 'future proof'. Even if the raw performance is not at the same level as the genuine Intel, does it matter if merely surfing the web? If performance is 'ample' then the CPU that just gets updated to include new instructions could make it so computers could last for decades doing things like showing web pages. How hard can that get?
One of the key points is that abusive "punishing" is in itself punished.

To get the best of both worlds, it would be good enough to make sure citizens are empowered to investigate and persecute abuse. Both through strong "rat squads" and good systems for reporting abuse.
Believe you mean Sir Robert Peel, John Peel is an entirely different guy.
Heh, you're welcome!

I truly do think that one of the keys of modern civilization is that we've figured out a system where the best way to get ahead is to give people something they want, rather than by killing and stealing.

These people might be the ones tossing books into the Tigris until it runs black with ink, but instead they're "just" abusing people because of their family obligations, bending labor laws, etc.

Not to defend that sort of behavior in any way, but it's better!
That's a pretty fine distinction you're attempting to draw. The portion of the "justice system" that is not police, is instead made up of people who interact with police several times a week. Most citizens are not in either of those groups.
This is pretty good, but some minor nits -

>A name and all the names below it that are not delegated to someone else is collectively called a zone

I don't understand this statement. For example, the vast majority of the 'com' zone are NS records for subdomains, and that is considered part of the com. zone.

The DNSSEC section is decent. NS rrsets don't get signed, and a distinction in DNSKEY types should probably be pointed out. Also, the talk of 'shadow nodes' is confusing and I still don't know what they are referring to.
The free market will solve the problem. If and when the blockchain runs out of capacity, only the transactions with higher transaction fees get through. Transaction fees will rise accordingly, and small transactions will become uneconomic.

Bitcoin transaction volume in dollars is flat.[1] It hasn't grown in the last year; it's declined slightly.

This will only be the case when all cars are self-driving.

Many of these articles do not give a comparison...so,11 per 1.7m miles sounds awesome, but how do you know what the current rate is?

The data I found had a passenger vehicle fatal crash per 100m miles as between 1.0 and 1.33, and a property damage only crash rate per 100m miles of 145, which relate to 0.01 fatalities per 1m miles, and 1.45 property only crashes per 1m miles.

Exactly, you have hit on my point. You can't prevent dishonesty and overselling period.

When a person gives out of their own pocket to an outlandish and unlikely project, that is on them. When the government gives out to an outlandish and unlikely project, the donors had no choice.

In that way, government is dangerous, and therefore must be held to a higher standard of accountability. A charity or private nonprofit, if it screws up, it will find itself in a more difficult position with regard to seeking further resources for its work.
That's just a rationalization. I really doubt Elon cares about anything but his own driving ambition. People who can't prioritize their own loved ones over their jobs, surely don't care for "humanity". They are the very definition of selfish. They simply do what they want first and then rationalize it afterwards.

On top of that, these selfish people expect/demand that their employees work infinitely harder than they do on a ROI basis. Example: A start up founder may worked twice as many hours as the founding engineer but the founder stands to make a lot more than twice as much when the company has it's liquidation event.

Regardless of the actual timing, if you have informed your employer that you are having a baby and it could be anywhere in the time frame, I think that should be accepted. However, if one day you are just gone and then came back and say 'we just had a baby', and that's the first time your employer has heard about it, then yeah, I can see that as a real problem.

In this kind of situation, it is much better to keep people you are obligated to as informed as possible, not keep it a secret. No matter if the baby comes a month early, at least they know you may be out and not wondering why you would miss without any indication you were expecting a child.
This sounds great. Funding people over projects is the right approach to doing research, imo, because of the dangers of pursuing research topics simply because they seem fundable or being afraid to pursue more risky research that could be more beneficial solely due to fundability. I hope this model works great for them and finds its way into more types of science as well.

I wonder if, unlike Transmeta, they will let you run native code on it too. Transmeta could not do it for technical reasons. As far as i know, the underlying arch was designed ONLY as a JIT target, and did not even have protected memory as such. Memory accesses were translated to different instructions (one privileged and one not) based on context of translated code.
Well, isn't Elon Musk one of those guys who thinks he's going to live forever? He probably figures he can spend time with family 1000 years from now after things settle down a bit.
Seagate only recently bought a NAND supplier, all the mechanical disk companies have major issues these days because they were too late for the SSD game. They thought that they could improve both the density of the storage and the performance before SSD's could catch up on the former and drastically surpass them on the latter.

In the "early" days of SSD's they didn't offered that much better performance especially in the enterprise storage arena than highend SAS/FC drives.

Both with improvements in controllers, the development of dedicated protocols for SSD drives and the usage of a cheaper alternatives to FC in the form of PCIexpress coupled with ever increasing storage density even in the enterprise market SSD's are pretty much setup to take the entire storage market.

In consumer grade computing you only see mechanical disks in entry level notebooks ("SSHD's usually with 16-32GB of SSD storage for OS and Cache"), for for home network attached storage.
1TB consumer SSD's already can be bought under the 400$ mark, and the closest mechanical drives with the same capacity in terms of performance (still quite below the SSD) which are the "professional grade" 10-15K RPM drives cost about the same. It's probably just a question of 2-3 years before mechanical drives will be almost completely written off the market, they already don't make much sense for enterprise storage since they provide a cheaper alternative to high performance storage even before you count the savings on electricity and cooling, and soon they wont make sense for everyday consumers either.
This is why the Bitcoin Core developers have been trying to factor out all of the code that affects consensus into a separate library. I think it's likely that this library, libbitcoinconsensus, will be at the core of most clients in future, but its existence and maturation will also allow other clients to emerge and replace Bitcoin Core for some applications.

In your analogy, libbitcoinconsensus is like a minimal rendering engine that implements the standards and can be used by anybody to build a full web browser.
10 Benefits of Agile You Definitely Don’t Want to Miss Out On
I'm not questioning that; I was questioning the statement '"action" parameter is pretty non-RESTful'. If URLs are opaque, why is it non-RESTful? Or is the point that if you're using query-string parameters, then by definition you're using a method that's supposed to be safe or idempotent?

Thanks for the references on how this would function. I wasn't really assuming a 45 degree oscillation, I wonder what oscillation they they are assuming in their projections. I imagine a single "blade" would be moved less by the same amount of wind, but there are probably plenty of factors I'm not considering. I imagine scaling these up you have some pretty crazy engineering problems to overcome, like how to deal with the repeated strain at the base.

In the end, it may be that the better use for these is indeed the 40' 4kW version for the back yard. I could see that pairing with a bunch of chained Tesla powerwall units to good effect.

New concepts are easy for kids to grasp. But they often fall short in their body of knowledge.

Operators that you're expected to know, and jargon you're expected to understand are a bit challenging for kids. I'm sure he's not talking to the kids about functional and tensorial composition and expecting them to understand. Those are loaded terms. Even to me the term "tensor" takes me a bit of a struggle in my mind because it evokes the idea of a string pulled tight, not so much a mathematical relationship.

But the article isn't written for the 8 year olds, and I think that's where the disconnect is. The idea is you can decompose the knot into some elementary relationships, and then you can do some operations on those sets of relationships, and define and learn about the structure of the knot.

This sort of thing is really cool for kids I think. Because it takes something that's complex and unknowable and breaks it down very very simply, (is it straight, is it crossed, is it looping back?), and then lets them see and explain such a complex system simply. That's really rewarding, and it doesn't require any special knowledge.

You can teach a few terms (in context) and operators, and variable substitution, and kids can pick up on this easily enough, as long as you don't require too much background. But ultimately, you're essentially doing what kids that age excel at doing, which is taking something complex and classifying it and breaking it down into simple parts to understand it. Whether it's parts of knots, or good and evil, or elements, or friends/enemies, or pokemon types or whatever else, kids that age love to make sense of their world through abstraction, simplification and categorization.

I think we can easily think kids are less capable than they truly are because of this lack of body of knowledge. So they have difficulty with division, obviously they can't integrate, most of this must be beyond their grasp. But this project while it might seem a bit complex to an adults eyes, is actually really simple, can you identify 3 knot parts visually, separate them, and write them down with a letter corresponding to the part?

An eight year old might have an easier time than an adult, because the adult might be stuck trying to figure out what K◦K’:(m, n’) really means relative to their own understanding of those symbols, while the kid might just get told that ◦ means putting them together, and the first number in the brackets means the number of ends on the left, and the second number means the number of ends on the right, and in this context that's all you really need to know.
Many instructions on your cpu are already 'micro coded' instead of wired into the hardware. I'm not 100% sure on how it works, or what it is. But it sounds like what you're proposing could already be implemented in modern cpus.

A UI triumph.
When it launched, it didn't even support POP or IMAP, only Exchange. We had to put up instructions for all of our customers to install a third-party email client just to check their email. And there was a constant stream of phone calls to our support center for months until the update came out that added IMAP.

And if you have one email selected, and right-click on a different email, it selects both emails. That just seems broken.
