"Weaponized marijuana" is neither a weapon nor marijuana.
Has there been a recent uptick in hyperbolic reporting on drug use? Some of the stories I've seen recently seem like they are straight out of a propaganda playbook from decades ago.
I got into Apple in 2006, loved the ride up to Snow Leopard. Then things got weird. UI choices that made little sense. Hardware bugs that were impossible to diagnose or fix. Like my parents Mac Mini that would show snow on the display after it went to sleep. Try troubleshooting that remotely. My work rMBP has some similar issues where my monitor just goes green. And then it also has a SystemUI freeze for upwards of 30 seconds that is completely impossible to fix. DiscoveryD, oh god why.

Apple just doesn't seem as focused on a main goal of shipping stable and perfect solutions. The "me too!" attitude shows it.

Oh and lets not forget when they ship iWork with missing features and then slowly add them back over time...
State education doesn't have to be bad. It's not like they are granting a monopoly to a private company. Finland for example "ranked sixth in math, second in science and third in reading. By comparison, U.S. students ranked 30th, 23rd and 17th, respectively, of the 65 tested countries/economies."

Traditionally it has a negative connotation as in "gall" or "brazen" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chutzpah
Perhaps if they legalized the real stuff you wouldn't have fools messing with weird synthetic chemical alternatives...
Chutzpah is exactly the right word.

"Leo Rosten in The Joys of Yiddish defines chutzpah as "gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible 'guts', presumption plus arrogance such as no other word and no other language can do justice to". In this sense, chutzpah expresses both strong disapproval and condemnation. In the same work, Rosten also defined the term as "that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan". Chutzpah amounts to a total denial of personal responsibility, that renders others speechless and incredulous ... one cannot quite believe that another person totally lacks common human traits like remorse, regret, guilt, sympathy and insight. The implication is at least some degree of psychopathy in the subject, as well as the awestruck amazement of the observer at the display."

Yes, parent poster said that index funds "seen as this wonderful thing that cannot go wrong." But nobody who knows anything about investing sees them that way. Index funds invest in stocks and bonds, a broad index fund will pretty much mirror the market. But the market, even the market as a whole, is far from safe.

What an index fund does guarantee is that holders of the fund will do better than the average of the "active" investors, who try to pick and choose the best stocks in the index (which for a broad index is basically "the market"). This is because the active investors, as a whole, receive the "market return", but they do so only after investing resources in researching the companies (which index funds don't do) and because the active investors trade a lot, relative to the index fund, so the active investors incur much greater transaction costs. An index gets the market return, but without incurring the costs active investors do, so the index is certain to have a better net return than the average of all active investors. This doesn't mean that index funds are "a wonderful thing that can never go wrong". It's certainly possible for the market to tank, in which case it's little solace for index fund holders that they beat the performance of the average active investor.
Playing around with that site, I think that the parent had a good point in bringing up what the output would look like. The output of Haxe is compiler output. Variables are renamed and in some cases elided. If Haxe wasn't working out for a team, they could not easily convert to javascript, as their generated code would be illegible.

Typescript on the other hand produces the ES5 that I would have written if I wasn't using Typescript. Variable names are kept, nothing is elided. You can even ask Typescript to translate code with type errors and it happily compiles.
Land has to be close to use or transmission losses reduce efficacy. And day/night 50% loss, remember? Feasibility depends upon cost mostly - and that's changing every day.

Wouldn't devices for industry be certified under part 18 as ISM devices rather than as part 15 devices? Part 18 allows much higher power than part 15, which should allow the ISM users to deal with interference.
China has 500 million people living on not much more than $2 per day. And another 300 million above that, living on $3 to $5 per day. It's already very well understood which system works better.

Those bottom 500 million have seen zero improvement in 50 years inflation adjusted. They're also mostly peasant farmers, and it's illegal for them to own farm land - they're land slaves accordingly. They have no prospects, and have seen no real benefit from the labor utilization system, it has completely failed them.

The only meaningful thing China's system accomplished, was absorbing some of the vast, slack labor capacity for manufacturing. That would have happened by default minus the economic controls they previously had in place. China didn't have to do anything but take their boot off the throat of manufacturing. And now the manufacturing party is over, so they've turned to extreme debt acquisition and forced asset bubbles to fake growth.

There may not have been a greater economic myth than the story of China's rise, in the last century.
> Isn't the whole capitalism based on promising people monopoly but not letting them actually get it?

No. Modern mixed economies, which have replaced capitalism as the dominant system of the developed world since capitalism was described in the 19th Century, are based on incorporating the features of capitalism that tend toward monopoly, but incorporating other features to impair the development of some monopolies and restrict the adverse impacts of other monopolies.

Capitalism itself does nothing to control monopolies.

How the Apple Watch may have saved this man’s life
It always strikes me that data collection and data analysis are tightly coupled, when it comes to pricing. And then when you look at the tiers that are available (995 a month really?) it makes even less sense. Yes its cheeper than me hiring in house to "do it myself" but it still feels like I'm being taken advantage of.

Here is the reality of how this works. Someone on the business side sees a shiny dashboard and wants one. The product involved gets pitched over the fence to engineering, and we go to the site. We know from go that we are fucked cause the header doesn't mention API/Developer or the words integration. Because we have a JOB that we probably like we click on help...

Oh look integration docs, Maybe there is hope for this turd!

Wait I'm on zen desk? There are broken pages (there are broken pages)? No public forms (well at least they aren't apparent).

This tool like the 16 other analytics packages we run, are going to be a flash in the pan, or so narrowly defined that it will be single use. Im not going to put anything useful in here, because, well when we hit that cap we will be asked to "cull data" rather than pay.

Keys to success in this space:
Give a shit about the guys implementing your service. If you can't be bothered to build and run and host your own documentation I don't know what to say. If your going to send me to a third party, at least have user forums / public user communication front and center. Let me know that people are having issues, that your addressing them.

Give me a way to tier out data. Yes you sold my business person on the "free" tier thats nice. Let me give you the data they are going to want at some point, let me do it in such a way that you can put it in cold storage till I need it. Give me a way to back it up to your S3 at cost, or to where I want (my own S3 my own data storage solution for free). Give me a way to "keep myself under the cap" by moving the data I want around.

A while later, some business person wants to see "something new" in the dashboard... Well guess what, we have been collecting that all along, go pay the vendor get the history and see it in real time. If you can do THAT without having to involve ME as an engineer then you have a winner on your hands, otherwise your just analytics implementation 17 and we will move on to 18.
> Why would you let someone make a closed source version of your open source video editor?

How is that a bad thing? I think that's a zero sum game way of looking at it.

No damage is done if someone makes a closed source version. They can add value and stimulate competition. More often, they fail.

Occasionally, core developers may enrich and provide additional functionality upon a permissive core. Why not look at Postgres as an example?

And what harm is done? Lost code contributions? Some have no interest in collaborating on software they can't incorporate / copy from later without restriction. It takes time to wrap ones brain around a codebase.

Why would someone take time to understand the internals of a GPLv3 app, when they could never incorporate pieces of it in their code later on?

> it's ideal for applications like this.

Ideal is subjective. Judging by the above, it seems as if enforcing envy trumps programmers doing as they wish with the code.
Your home schooling was already then, as I come to understand it, (at least in some regards) a very good implementation of optimized teaching. This lets me with the conclusion that some of the didactic material will just remain dull for someone regardless of the effort involved from the teacher's part.

This is not true. Only articles 1 and 20 can't be changed. For the rest in between no such guarantee applies and they were changed a few times in the past. Though most likely restricting any of the freedoms severely would be ruled unconstitutional by the very first article.
I've been working in this area and I do generally prefer Cartopy over Basemap. Our team recently made this switch. Cartopy is more Pythonic and has a better software design. It has nice abstraction for dealing with and using different map projections. It also handles seam issues well (I cannot recall if this is a problem in Basemap or not). All that said, Basemap has features that are lacking in Cartopy (e.g., can you label lat/lon lines on non-XY projections in Cartopy? The last time I looked, this was not possible.) Also I agree that Cartopy documentation is somewhat lacking in some areas. But going forward I would probably choose Cartopy, notwithstanding Jeff's great work over the years.
Using the trace trick needs to guard on False:

myfun a b | trace ("myfun " ++ show a ++ " " ++ show b) False = undefined
myfun a b = ...

See here for some other helpful trace functions:

There is even a traceStack which will print a call stack if available.
There's no clear value proposition given. What are we sacrificing Turing-completeness in order to gain? For example, one thing a programming language might gain by sacrificing Turing-completeness is that every program provably halts; no infinite loops! This is called "total function programming." There are probably other interesting properties you can gain by sacrificing Turing-completeness as well.

Crema can restrict the computational complexity of the program to the minimum needed to improve security

"Computational complexity" is a technical term that is related to performance, but not security.

Great points, you've clearly read the RFCs. :)

- You're right that URNs were not just for ISBNs, but they shaped the formation of the standard and (IMHO) made it inapplicable for hashing. A content addressing system that can't resolve any of the standardized URNs wouldn't be very useful. FWIW one of my earliest prototypes used URNs, and I still use them for ISBN links!

- Magnet links work fine today, but if you look at the original proposal[1], they really were designed for all of the wrong reasons (including explicitly popping up a JS handler). In practice everyone who uses magnet links tunnels URNs through them, which serves no point for a general purpose system. A system that supports magnet links must also support URNs (meaning the arguments against using URNs apply, and magnet: doesn't add much value).

- I've considered eventually adding ni support to StrongLink, although it's not like anyone else uses it so it wouldn't be an interoperability win. I think my hash scheme proposal is much better, so I'm hoping we can just forget about ni entirely. (But to be clear, it's extremely easy for a system to support both.)

Sorry, this is mostly anecdotal. I've seen it quite a few times myself. Many teams that have tried to track their data at full volume on mobile with existing providers end up paying more for analytics than any other piece of their stack, and so end up doing things like sampling down their data. Would love to hear other people's experiences with mobile infrastructure.

Physicist unveils plan for entangling massive objects
The prevailing wisdom in China is that what's good for the state is good for the people. Obviously that's not the case in America, where polls show record levels of distrust toward the government from its citizens.

That's not remotely obvious to me. In my experience, American citizens distrust specific politicians, but they strongly trust the state apparatus. As examples, American citizens gave/give broad support to the NSA, invasions of other countries, and police/soldiers/firefighters/anyone in a uniform.
Your Language Sucks
I think this is what the poster was talking about: race issues - that is, how (white) Europeans tend to have more Neanderthal DNA compared to, (black) sub-Saharan Africans. So if you show that some neanderthal gene provides some nominal increase in IQ, you'll have lots of people jumping on it as proof that whites are superior to blacks.

Of course, east asians and specifically melanesians have probably the most neanderthal DNA, maybe twice the amount of the average European, and I would love to hear a white supremacist argue for the genetic supremacy of Melanesians.

From the Crema wiki that I just glanced at, it is indeed not possible to write infinite loops:

"The only type of loop supported by Crema is the foreach loop. This loop is used to sequentially iterate over each element of a list. Crema specifically does not support other common loops (such as while or for loops) so that Crema programs are forced to operate in sub-Turing Complete space. In other words, foreach loops always have a defined upper bound on the number of iterations possible during the loop's execution. This makes it impossible to write a loop that could execute for an arbitrary length of time."
> Although permissive licenses are great for libraries, they aren't that good for applications. Why would you let someone make a closed source version of your open source video editor?

Because you believe that open source actually works and is efficient in practice, such that even if someone makes and sells a proprietary derivative, it is more likely to grow the pie than to harm the open source base (and likely, if the downstream vendor is smart, to result in substantial contributions back to the core, because the downstream vendor can't get community maintenance to control costs without contributing stuff back to the community.)

Works for a variety of existing permissively licensed software for which their proprietary downstream versions, the sellers of which are also sponsors of and code contributors to the open source project.
Apple had the opportunity to take on all the workloads people used to use Unix workstations for, because a modern Mac is a Unix workstation. For better or worse, they ceded that market almost entirely to Windows NT and its successors. On the other hand, being a consumer company has been wildly profitable for them. But those workloads do still need to be run.

Hi Michael, nice concept but how are you going to collect data for the analytics.How rich, relevant and accurate the historical data to the project ?
I'm sure some of its exaggerated but I've heard some really messed up stuff about synthetic cannabinoids before. Since they can be many times more potent than thc they can be really easy to overdose on as well whereas marijuana overdose is virtually impossible. This is a pretty clear example of prohibition doing far more harm than good since there would be no interest in "spice" or whatever it goes by these days if the real thing was available.

I tried it once years ago after getting a free sample at a head shop and it gave me one of the worst headaches I've ever had. Never touched the stuff again.
