Yet chlorinated chicken is what we keep hearing all the moaning about coming our way. I'll pass on mad cow beef and now death zucchinis too. Maybe expanding transatlantic agricultural trade just doesn't make sense.


This wouldn't supersede any violations of the ToS, though. I guess it would mean they can't sue you (maybe?) but they could still kick you off their service. Could they still go after you for breach of contract?


Wasn't the point that they were scraping public profiles, i.e. they never signed up and thereby never signed any ToS?


ToS aren't signed. They are terms of service, not license agreements.

ToS merely need to be disclosed, and the site cna decline service if you violate the terms. A license agreement may subject you to penalties for violating the agreement.


Thanks for the clarification.


Exactly


Cultural overtones aside, this reminds me of how qualifiers that describe the comparative or absolute superiority of some technology or process are inherently fragile and do not always age well. Things with words like "very", "ultra" or "extremely" in their name are sort of hopelessly bound up in their own time period. There are many papers (mostly from the 90s) that refer to ULSI instead of VLSI, in the mistaken belief that we had now moved beyond the adverb "very" to qualify large scale integration to another era that could only be described as "ultra" large scale integration. Moore's law made these updates seem kind of silly and it seems like we all just stuck on VLSI.


Interesting. Although to be fair, in this particular case, the qualifier does make sense, exaclty because it is a one-time event. It means "the first time we build a Quantum Computer that is capable of doing something a classical computer isn't capable of, thereby proving it really is Quantum, thereby proving Quantum Computation can really happen in our universe". It really is a one-time event to prove a specific hypothesis.


Nationalism is nationalism regardless of said nation.


but nationalism for the chinese is particularly intense, see my comment on that below.


Do you mind mentioning which RAM module you purchased? On the wiki it looks like some are officially supported and others have been added by users. Maybe if the issue is related to the RAM, others have experienced similar problems. Also, I am looking at the bundle, but don't see any RAM included with it. Was this something that had been offering in the past but since took down?

It's an add-on. Click "Add to cart" and then you'll have the option to add it on the next page.

Not interested in troubleshooting in HN comments, but thank you. There are some leads in the IRC channel that I'll follow up on when I have the chance.


I had only seen them in the context of userspace threading. I wonder what mainstream libs use them. Do you know of any?


Generators are a subset of coroutines, and coroutines are useful in lexing and parsing.


Whoops, I meant that use set/longjmp() to implement coroutines. My wording in retrospect was super unclear. Sorry!


Isn't Watson already a tired marketing device whose existence as a meaningful product/system is debatable? Not sure how much more damage would be done.


Is Mill happening? Has there been silicon yet? I have been reading about it for so long, but have not seen any peer reviewed work on it, silicon or soft cores.

I would like to see more exotic architectures out there, but I think I speak for many when I say that I am starting to question if the Mill architecture is going to land in a major way.


If it happens or not, the Mill team still produced some of the most interesting talk videos on youtube that you can watch. I would highly recommend anyone who hasn't watched the series to do so, it's very in depth and interesting.

Personally I hope that Mill happens. If it will beat existing CPUs left and right or not can then finally be answered.



Latest I saw on the forum was that they are writing a microkernel os so that they can run benchmarks and more importantly tests.


Wow, I didn't know that about Japan. It makes sense. Tons of amateurs everywhere are using Yagi-Uda antennas, would make sense that they have a strong radio culture having contributed so much.


It's also not even the nation state of France. France has many hams who are likely upset, too. It is a sketchy defense electronics company that has pitiable revenue. I suspect the French people/the rest of the world would see this an unjustifiable corporate power play and act of oppression if hams get the word out.
