The Bizarre Process We Use for Approving Exemptions to the DMCA
If the thunderbolt part (more accurately, the pci-express lanes) could be disabled without losing the USB 3.1 and display port capabilities the port still might be "good enough" for most purposes.

And yeah, we really need device firewalls that isolate everything via IOMMU and don't allow drivers to do any memory mappings until the user confirmed the device.
I have been seeing Thunderbolt as an option on motherboards when I do builds for at least the last three years. But I am generally looking at motherboards in the $200 price range, as the lower end ones are usually lacking connectors and features in ways that are much more important to me than Thunderbolt.

Manufacturers I believe don't usually include it because most PC buyers would not use that feature as a purchasing criteria.
Tons of articles being written about it? I hate to say this, but because of Google+ it is pretty easy to see if users are legitimate or not. And from what I could tell many in those reviews are legitimate users (at least on G+).
I vaguely remember that 10 or 15 years ago I've seen obscure ssh client for relatively obscure platform that could not handle RSA keys that were longer than some X, with X being something like 640.

The only useful way to look at poverty is to use an absolute scale.

If we assume that every human being is born with absolutely zero wealth (or, at least, that this used to be the case in the distant past), then we should go about determining some objective minimum standard that is acceptable.
What would a robust definition of poverty be? I think you'd have to get away from the concept of money, and define it as a lack of, or a lack of a way to get, any of the following:

* shelter

* transportation

* food

* medical care

* education
I'd imagine that Apple has learned from history that its proprietary & non-widespread (niche) connectors have not seen the type of industry-wide adoption that they would have liked to have seen (a la ADC, firewire, iPhone 1st gen, etc) regardless of technical merit. They have diverted from industry standards when the current off-the-shelf components did not necessarily meet their design desires/criteria.

I'm guessing that they found a pretty decent strategy when thunderbolt took on the mini-dp port and added thunderbolt to the mini-dp connector. Sure there's some confusion in plugging thunderbolt into a mini-dp port, but as Apple was concerned, they were not taking away any functionality, but merely just adding the thunderbolt feature to an existing port.

Apple's potential adoption of Thunderbolt using the Type-C connector would be a similar strategy to the mini-dp/thunderbolt strategy. This finally allows them to unify ports on their whole line up macbook/pro/iphone/ipad/atv/accessories/power/displays, which with their scale would probably translate to a pretty massive reduction in cost for maintaining inventory of the many assortments of ports and manufacturing.

Based on the direction they've taken with the new Macbook and this announcement, It's pretty obvious that this is the direction they would like to go with and lays out the foundation for the expansion of the retina iMac into a retina thunderbolt display.

I'd say it's definitely more of a feature than it is a regression. The world of consumers has shown that it's been able to cope with USB 1 -> 1.1 -> 2 -> 3, with very little pain. For most people it will be the Type-C connector running at speeds varying from 12Mbps, 480Mbps, 10Gbps, 40Gbps... If you have the higher speed, you can supper everything below it (kind of like 10G/40G ethernet). Mac's will probably be sold with 40Gb Type-C ports, iPhones with 480Mb Type-C ports, Retina displays with 40Gb Type-C ports, all with the consumer being none-the-wiser as to whether they are running in USB mode or Thunderbolt mode.

Inside Advice on Hiring Great Programmers from Coursera Exec
Well I agree that the ARM instruction set is more elegant, but I don't see it as a big enough improvement to warrant the extra hassle of getting set up. It's too easy for the student to get confused with all the tools and spend less time on the actual matter at hand.

When learning assembly, what matters is getting used to instructions, registers, control flow and explicit memory accesses rather than statements, expressions, functions and variables. It really doesn't matter which ISA you're learning, the actual skill you learn is how to read the documentation of a CPU architecture and tools to write and debug assembly code.

> It also suffers from nonstandardisation of the vector instructions like ARM does, although you can reasonably assume FPU and MMX these days.

This is not correct. ARM has at least 7 different FPU ISAs: 5 versions of VFP and 2 versions of NEON. I have devices at hand with three different float units (all consumer devices). In x86 world you can rely on SSE2 safely, it's been around since Pentium 4 (1999) and is required on all 64 bit architectures (by contrast, NEON is rather new). But this is kind of a moot point since introductory assembly courses don't go too deep on floating point units anyway.

Additionally, in the ARM world, there's several revisions of the ISA/architecture being used, ARMv7 (32bit) and ARMv8 (64bit) and a dozen different variants for embedded products. And two different instruction encodings (thumb). It's not at all less confusing.

> AMD64 might be an interesting choice to start with these days.

For basic user space programming it probably doesn't make a difference but for bare metal/kernel programming, the AMD64 architecture is more, not less, confusing than the x86_32.

But in my opinion, it really doesn't matter what you learn first. The details of the ISA itself is of secondary importance, understanding how to read the documentation of the architecture and getting some hands on experience is way more important.
I'll leave it to Stallman: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html

A better way to deal with font icons
Only if we assume all submitters only submit because of how interesting / important / relevant an the submission is, and are not influenced in their decisions by imaginary internet points, pride in getting to the front page, etc.

For a sufficiently small community this assumption is fairly safe though even then not always true. As communities grow their population trends towards the average (for many characteristics) and the average human is more likely to be driven by the latter motivations than the former, at least as I understand psychology, though I would be very interested to learn otherwise.

tl;dr: I think the assumption that a submitter is motivated more by wanting to make a good contribution over having their HN submission 'win' is shortsighted.
I think it depends on the kind of error. If it is a "bug-detected" error (null-pointer dereference, out-of-bounds, divide-by-zero, out-of-memory, etc.), you better restart the program since you're in an unstable state. If it is a "domain-specific" error (connection lost, robot could not reach its destination, battery low, etc.), you better deal with it as soon as possible.

First, I fundamentally disagree that targeted advertising is in any way benevolent, even marginally. Though that's a debate for another thread.

However, they knew full well what they consequences of this mechanism would be[0]. I find it impossible to believe that there was no person at any point along the chain who knew that MITMing all connections would be a security vulnerability[1]. And if that somehow managed to be the case, that makes them even less credible in my mind, since they're an OEM. They really have no excuse.

[0] I mean, seriously, just look at the name "Superfish". That's not a catchy phrase invented to publicize the vulnerability, like "Heartbleed" and "Shellshock". That's the actual name of the company whose product Lenovo bought.

I think that it's more an indication that running SQL is a business requirement, not a technical one. To run your business, you need to be able to query your data in a number of ways. SQL offers the most flexibility and is essentially compatible with every reporting tool out there. Your awesome NoSQL database isn't as awesome if every software package you need to run your business requires a custom integration layer.

In other words, just because our data sets are exponentially larger doesn't mean we still don't need to be able to perform complex joins or other relational operations. The data sets are more complex, but the queries we're running on them are even more complex. While some other data stores may be optimal for niche use cases, SQL offers the best mix of speed and flexibility while still meeting the business requirements.

I'm curious how this seeming gender war will resolve. One way is that homosexual and asexual behavior will be accepted. Another is that men will decide to not prioritize marital relations. Finally, both genders could accept each other as equals and partners.

For the first, the supply of men will decrease. It might decrease enough to cause a more traditional relationship between the genders. The surviving heterosexual group will have more power since the demand is probably constant.

The second, is probably more how many picture the 1960s and 1970s in the US. Men getting the milk for free. In many ways if all you want is milk, so to speak, you get off quite well in the process. It is a selfish take on life, but oh well we'll all just matter anyway.

Perhaps you haven't attempted to view GoT from "unapproved" locations? That is why some people used Hola: to VPN to an "approved" IP address.

I appreciate reading anything he cares to share, as I am interested in running Tor nodes.

Sure you can change the text, but from sales perspective you'd better put more emphasis on "editing" rather than "viewing".
This is what I came here to say. Poverty is a resource allocation problem that is judged relatively. As living standards increase, the subjective 'poverty' perception also moves. The inverse is also true: when living standards decrease (say due to a war or disaster) the conception of poverty will also adjust. Additionally, a country cannot be expected to solve it's 'poverty' problem in the entire country is pretty equally in poverty. The resources simply do not exist to be allocated.

So the proper way to judge subjective poverty is by income equality (a ratio of the richest X% to the poorest X%) within a country. If inequality is very high and there is still subjective poverty in the country, that country's government is not taking poverty seriously... do not believe them, they have the resources! Any external help that is not advisory is essentially subsidizing the rich of that country; instead if we want to support those in poverty we should sanction that government until they act appropriately.

If inequality is very low in the country and subjective poverty exists, you can make an excellent case for external aid. Countries in this situation may be victims of war (Afghanistan), failed states, or so small/remote that they may not have the resources to take care of themselves.

This is a difficult mirror to hold up, however, as there are many developed countries that have high inequality scores.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-marriage-rates-at-all-time-lo...

A new report shows the current number of married adults has dropped to a record low of 51 percent.

That's not the only trend changing. Americans are getting married for the first time at older ages than ever before.

The crazy person might think the reason divorce rates have dropped is a combination of marriage rates decreasing coupled with the ones who do marry do it when they're older and presumably wiser and more mature.

Not only that, but for years now I've seen people talking about men not marrying because they get no real benefit out of marriage, but take on all the risks. And while I don't have any statistics on the matter, as a man who has made the decision not to marry myself, this really resonates with me as to my thinking when I first made the decision back in my college days.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/09/24/decline_of_ma...

Where are your statistics that the spike in divorces in the 70's and 80's were due to woman being empowered? You make the claim, but not even the link you posted bears that out. Here's a quote from your link:

But it also seems to be the case that marriages have gotten more stable, as people are marrying later.

Even it attributes it to people marrying later (which makes sense).

Furthermore, the poster you were responding to was obviously talking about more than simply alimony. They were talking about things like child support as well. When you see people talking about marriage having all the risks but none of the rewards this is what they're talking about.

Can you please get some actual statistics to backup your claim? Because not even the articles you linked appear to agree with you.

Thunderbolt uses the Mini DisplayPort connector which was and is Apple tech, although DisplayPort itself is not.
Consistency and the User Experience
It is a nice challenge how to rewrite such a system. One way would be to build a parallel system, identify all inputs and duplicate them to the parallel solution and then compare the outputs; in case of discrepancies fix the erroneous system. Once the systems produce same results (or once the new system produces better results than the old one) you just switch the systems.

The rewrite doesn't have to be complete; it can (should) be done in pieces of course.
For someone to see a human being tortured by cancer, and for that person to turn around and say "one day I'm gonna make billions by inventing and patenting a cure" is evil to his core.

If I am so blessed to be in a position that I have invented a cure for cancer, I am giving it away. At the most I want to break even. If I make a single penny from the invention I'm donating it to charity.

If it were a fallacy, that'd mean it wasn't true.

It's more propaganda than fallacy, but I'd agree it is questionable what it brings to the discussion.
I think it remains to be shown whether these consequences were unintended. The point of the one-child policy was to limit population growth. A gender imbalance which leads to women being more independent and marrying later advances that goal very well.
To be fair, Thunderbolt is backwards-compatible with DisplayPort. You can use a DisplayPort display with a Thunderbolt port, but the reverse isn't true.
