Your issue is with a person using spoken English in a text medium.

No way to convey intonation in text so people often use a question mark to convey it.

Yep the SPU you end up spending so much time managing memory.

No cache they are just dumb processors. I find it funny they thought they can take ps2 vu0/vu1 and make it a processor.

The solution I use and many others is to only charge a usb battery in public, and you use that battery to charge your devices.

That works well to solve all the issues with public power ports.

You can use a brown lunch bag to microwave your own popcorn, it is maybe a minute more of work and you save money.

Not to mention you can customize the popcorn better if you like to add seasoning.

Often you can turn off frequency scaling so you can have rdtsc still be useful.

I'd say if you're interested in performance to this level, it is useful to know both at&t inline asm syntax on top of the simpler microsoft inline asm syntax.

Static analysis will not stop most of the exploits that have happened on iOS/OSX in the recent years.

Often it is a situation where multiple processes are working together and there is a way to trick a privileged process into modifying memory in a way it shouldn't.

Two games by the same studio who are praised for their ability to tell a story.

To be honest there are only a few games I played during the ps3 era (bought it for the cell chip+linux and left it unpatched when they removed it from the firmware until the system was broken wide open), but the last of us was a great story and fun game.

Ah I figured it'd be something like that.

I'm looking forward to a future where we use web components.

One thing their example doesn't handle is browser location history on clicking elements in their UI.

Maybe it was due to how simple the example was, but having to click back many times based on how many times a user used the interface is just bad design.

The alarm app on iOS can run into an issue where it will not play sound regardless of any other setting. It has existed in many versions of iOS. It has happened in iOS 10 and iOS 11, I don't know about the previous versions.

They fix is to reboot the phone.

I cannot trust it for critical alarms, so a simple device by the bed is required again.

Hackintosh systems are easy as long as you're not looking to update them after everything is working correctly.

They are fragile systems that one doesn't really want to risk production environments on in my opinion.

The image gallery doesn't tell us if they were using a dell recovery cd or something else.

I haven't had to recover from an OEM vendor install in awhile, but if I remember right there are many situations where the user does not need to input the serial number for activation.

If you are interested in this, people tried the long/short strategy in currencies (forex) and called it a grid trade.

The system would be both long and short the same contract and take profit at a given interval on both sides. When they took a profit, they would reopen a trade on the same side.

Ultimately it was just a mean reversion strategy where one would not close out their losses. So the profit was linear while the losses often became geometric until the time the market came back to where they started the grid.

If you just want to buy both sides and never close either trade, there is no profit just a loss of spread/commission on both legs.

Most of the people who did it looked at their account balance rather than NAV, so they were mostly just abusing leverage until a margin call.

Edit: To be fair, some grids were smarter in their allocation and weighted to be positive to the carry, so at least they would collect interest everyday when the contracts swapped.

I don't know why others downvoted you, but buying a post-IPO stock is not directly funding the company the majority of the time.

The view count itself isn't why they are buying views, it is the ranking in search and related videos.

I find youtube/twitch have the same problems as the CPM industry. If you punish the provider of content for negative viewer action you provide a means for competition to cheaply force the content creator out of the market.

This is why twitch doesn't punish view botting, as any viewer could spend $5 to shut down a $50k/day stream.

If youtube really does use a guilty until proven innocent method then they are just punishing honest content creators that don't understand the dynamics of online media.

Again when it comes to the USA copyright law, it is about distribution.

A person who copies a specific work and does not distribute it is not breaking the law as far as I am aware.

That is why I'd be interested in seeing what laws have been broken.

The blockchain itself would be too expensive to store a large amount of data, so they would only be storing magnet links much like most tracker sites currently do.

If that is illegal, then I am breaking the law when I modify a computer program for personal use.

As far as I am aware, if they are not distributing their changes, there is no copyright violation.

I'd be interested to see what laws they are violating.

Reading a patent will make you not infringe in the short term, but will you remember you got the idea from that patent in ten years?

For people who are writing novel software it can be better to always avoid reading patents, that way they can honestly state they haven't read a specific patent.

The main thing headless chrome saves is having to spawn and manage xvfb per instance.

If more sites adopt serving fake data to headless chrome, people will just return to the old xvfb workflow for those sites, and use headless for everything else.

Could even use a small set of xvfb scrapers to verify the results, and automate detection of false data.

Yes initial margin on a stock purchase for reg-t will be 50% and then reduce later to around 25%. The broker will be on the hook to their counter party, but you are now required to pay your broker. So a worse case situation is normally 4 to 1 leverage.

That is for stocks, with options the margin call can grow to a value quickly where a retail investor cannot afford it ever.

Edit: Looking at td margin schedule shows they'll require 20% in a reg-t account, so only 5 to 1 leverage at least. Still can risk $5k and owe 20k to your broker.

The futures contracts trade less than 1% of the global spot btc volume on any given day.

The products so far have been a failure.

Except almost anyone get get authorization to sell naked puts in the US market.

Margin only handles the expected volatility of an instrument, not the tail risk.

Spectre works in javascript due to how aggressive the JIT is.

Chrome and Firefox are already working on solutions as you cannot exploit the JIT if it generates code that ruins your timing as far as I'm aware.

So that solves the problem for most people, but all other environments that allow execution of untrusted code also need to be updated.

And yet anyone can buy 3x leveraged ETF/ETNs and not understand how the products are structured. Some of those products, due to the structure, will always lose value over time as the futures used to replicate them are normally in contango.

So some financial products where they will always drift to zero are fine, but investments in companies that have a chance to profit aren't allowed.

In that case, the original buyer is the one who is receiving the goods and then sending to their counterparty.

Funny enough, I tend to avoid these type of discussions because surprise surprise, I got downvoted and they didn't even answer the core question.

Why should a customer pay to add value to comcast? They aren't getting a discount if they enable the service.

Except comcast has datacaps for total transfer per month.

I don't use comcast so I do not personally know if they charge for excessive data usage, but I know cox does.

Besides the point of potential cost, why should a user who is paying for the service subsidize comcast. They are not getting a discount for offering the wifi to customers.
