Which universities? All that gets anything from the state (like subsidies, etc)

Which people? Everybody that can pay for it. It should come out of the state budget. I.e. the same people who pays for the military, the roads, the politician's salaries.
I'm 22 and I've opted out of Facebook.

Not because my parents are on it (they are), but because it's not fun.

It used to be fun in high school (4-5 years ago) when you could have semi-private conversations with friends through wall posts, back before every status and picture was gamified by "likes", back before everything you ever posted was pinned like a dead moth on your timeline for everyone to see in perpetuity, back before it turned into a bunch of roosters strutting around, sticking their chests out and seeing who can crow the loudest.

Many of my friends share the same sentiments and are dropping off the Facebook grid in favor of Snapchat/direct messaging (Groupme, Whatsapp)/real-life hanging out.

That said, I don't think Facebook is going anywhere anytime soon:

> Facebook pages/events are essential for businesses and organizations. It's a large inconvenience not to have one if you're a business owner or a college student, especially in countries outside the US with less developed internet infrastructure and resources.

> Huge room for growth internationally. In some nascent markets, people even think that Facebook is the internet. [1]

> Facebook owns Whatsapp, Instagram, and Oculus Rift. Very strong portfolio of companies with a lot of brilliant people behind them.

As with my comment above: you trust the content that is ultimately (up the hierarchy) signed in an IPNS object with a valid signature.

And there must indeed by some central authority giving 'ultimate trust'. This is Zooko's triangle. By default IPNS gives you 'decentralized' and 'secure', but you can also opt to tie an IPNS name to a DNS TXT record, and lose 'decentralized' (at least for the initial lookup) but gain 'human-meaningful'.

I don't put too much stock in these types of numbers that companies release themselves. Facebook has long had issues with fake accounts created by bots, and has shown little interest in curbing that practice (since it inflates their numbers.)

Even if I accept the number at face value, I think that reflects mainly Facebook getting some penetration into other countries outside of the US. In the US it has already begun to decline, and while the Facebook "wave" may be at different points in other regions of the world, it is unlikely it will hold on for 10 years in those other countries given the increased relevance of other forms of social networking.
An episode of the Cybersecurity Podcast with Peter Singer was recently talking about the Snowden leaks and how the west coast (Apple, Microsoft, et. al.) had to go to the east coast (Washington, Pentagon) and tell them to stop saying that the government spying was only on non-US citizens and foreigners since that demographic is still the vast majority of their business.

"over", not "instead of".

Having not yet read this interview (did you?), I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that he identifies some problems with Agile teams that COULD be solved with BDD and Cucumber (for teams that want and choose this approach)
We can make it look like McAfee is saying even more ridiculous things than he actually says! All we have to do is MITM a reporter's computer while they're at a coffee shop, send them a link to that site, and have them believe they're reading the real site while we make it seem like it has offensive content! Totally worth it!
I would doubt that we see one in the near future. The one that had the biggest potential, Instagram, was quickly bought out by Facebook. A competitor not only has to overcome the huge userbase, thereby convincing everyone and their mothers to switch, a competitor also has to resist the urge to cash in and risk not making it.
These would not be problems if the car software/hardware is properly constructed. The issues with the odometer, alarm and doors could be solved by signing the relevant binaries/data with a digital key. The issue with the bus connector is close to negligence in my non-professional opinion (the fuel cap is locked on my car as is the switch to release the bonnet).

The security by obscurity argument is pretty dead at this time -- it doesn't magically get resurrected just because the object we are securing is a car.
seems irrelephant to the discussion at hand?
Why You Should Document and Systematize All Processes
Not really. The destructuring syntax used in the imports is not the same as the standard array and object destructuring.

Section 15.2.1.16 of the current stable ES6 specification specifies how the import syntax is resolved, and it doesn't use destructuring.

When a massively distributed file system[1] was introduced into the Linux kernel circa Y2K, there was what I remember as a lot of hype.

Nobody, but nobody wanted it then (or since, it's still part of the kernel), and I would be surprised if anybody wanted something similar today.

What is your opinion on LabVIEW then? I find their graphical interface to programming to be incredibly limited.
1) 2) 3), yes, it is still possible to directly connect to specific peers through IPFS, see http://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsN...

I think that it should be possible to build hybrid centralized/decentralized sites with IPFS, with static public content being fully decentralized and sensitive information going through direct tunnels. Of course, the more decentralized your system the better.

As far as the IP system, yes we are unfortunately still reliant on ICANN being sensible about IP allocations, but the DNS system can be fully deprecated. I do know that there is a project out there to redo the IP system in a decentralized fashion but I can't recall its name right now.
Well, first of all Apple could do it and fail. They're done that before. They're confident/arrogant/audacious enough to try things that they can't pull off.

Also, they could take a two-pronged approach -- cherry-pick talent from Intel, nVidia, etc. and offer them the opportunity to leapfrog baggage from the past. How much of the difficulty of moving the x86 platform forward is a result of the ludicrous amount of cruft? Grabbing a few of the smartest people and narrowing your focus to an easier problem gets you a long way.

Apple has managed to outpace the entire industry (including Intel) with its customized ARM cores (getting to 64-bit over a year ahead of everyone, and take a look at benchmarks between Apple's Ax CPUs and rivals usually running at far higher clocks with more RAM and sucking more power), and it got there by cherry-picking talent, omitting stuff it didn't need, focusing on design, and treating fabs as a commodity.

Looks like interesting times ahead.
Okay, I can't explain it like you're 5... But here's as close as I can get.

You've got DNA. Everyone's DNA is unique (shhh, just go with me for a minute). In fact, let's say that we found about 140 GATC pairs, which were also unique (we don't need your whole sequence, just those 140 pairs). Meaning, if we take your 140 GATC pairs, and we take my 140 GATC pairs, we'd be guaranteed to get different results.

Now, if I want to refer uniquely to a person, I can just use those 140 GATC pairs, which looks roughly like QmXGTaGWTT1uUtfSb2sBAvArMEVLK4rQEcQg5bv7wwdzwU (when expressed with upper + lower + numbers).

But, you've been thinking to yourself, WHAT ABOUT TWINS?!?

Well, great question...

...but the cryptographic hash that we use is one where twins are EXCEEDINGLY UNLIKELY. Like, amazingly, shockingly, oh my god, unlikely. They exist, but in practice they're so uncommon that it doesn't matter.

Maybe sometime, some unfortunate guy is going to request a picture of Natalie Portman, and get an MP3 of Ted Nugent. It could happen. It's just super unlikely to ever happen in practice.

So, there you have it - a cryptographic hash is... excuse me, because this is a supremely flawed analogy... kind of like the DNA of a file.
So, 40 year old x86 and 30 year old ARM is not full of legacy issues and layers over layers of hacks?

Iowa City officer develops software to find stolen Wi-Fi-enabled devices
Child development is absolutely fascinating. We had a child a week after my cousin and his wife had one. They live quite a way away from us, so we get together on long weekends and holidays in the summer, that sort of thing.

I have an academic background/career, my wife is a teacher. We live in a very rural area. They live in a very, very, urban area. He is a professional maitre d' in a fancy restaurant, and she is, as of recent, a CPA (was previously a chef of some kind).

The children in question are slightly over 2.

Their child is super confident around people. He is very outgoing, he is super friendly and doesn't hesitate to go to you to be picked up if he needs something. He is great on stairs, and is incredibly confident in his jumping off of things. He doesn't really talk. He is incredibly scared of bugs, birds, and any animal larger than a Labrador retriever.

My kid is shy around people. He will go to you, only if we say it's alright first. He sucks out loud on stairs, and jumps off of low objects. He talks in complete sentences and uses new words constantly. He loves picking up bugs and spiders, and is fascinated by all animals.

Neither one is better than the other, more advanced than the other, or really any better off in the long run, I'm convinced. They're just different. You can definitely tell what their parents do for entertainment. My cousin and his wife spend their time in the city, with people, doing things that require movement around the city. My wife and I spend our time either messing around in the woods, or sitting on the back porch listening to NPR or talking with friends. In rural areas, story telling is key to entertainment, so that's what we do.

And the imprint these two different lives are having on children who are relatively similar in genetics, socioeconomic status and amount of care in the home is simply fascinating.
This can also lead to some less desirable outcomes, such as calls to make voting mandatory.
Whatsapp and Instagram were acquired by Facebook and Vine was acquired by Twitter. Tinder/Grindr are fads that are already fading. Snapchat, it's probably a matter of time before they get acquired or people get bored with it.
Nope, but then my sense of smell has been broken for years, so I don't take it for granted that you can just sniff things.

My main concern was finding a way to keep the things that end up in the back of the fridge from staying there for weeks and weeks. I waste more food than I care to because I'm the opposite of what you're attacking me for being -- I'm the guy that puts stuff away and forgets about it the next time I go to eat. That, and it's hard to coordinate with my fiancee on meals when she works midnights.

Anyway, I'm sorry for offending you with my ideas. I just think a smart fridge could actually be handy for wasting less food without having to be obsessive compulsive about tracking and without being a great judge of freshness with my nose. You just glance at the fridge and pick out things to eat before they go bad.

Wouldn't this lead to a TON of games? Now if you're a Democrat in Nebraska, or a Republican in California, it's in your best interest NOT to vote. That way the winner-takes-all majority in your state would get less of an impact. On the other hand, all of the Democrats in California and Republicans in Nebraska would definitely want to show up to the polls.

Basically if you think your party will win, you want to show up. If your party will lose, you want to skip. There are basically 3 equilibria: 100% of either party votes and 0% of the other one, or exactly 50/50 with the outcome unknown to anyone.
Wouldn't this just be a general election with sort of weird rounding rules?

edit: no, because of winner-takes-all nonsense. seems like a bad idea.

trying to understand a bit more about bitcode concept. Since a developer submits a bitcode for apple watch, does that mean he can't optimize his own app for performance?

FWIK, on android you can still optimize your app at assembly level and i think that's what motivates developers at times. Remember the iphone camera high speed shot app, that was hand coded to be fast on iphone.
I completely agree that it should be possible to repair things, but this:

> Mr. Wiens is also part of a coalition pushing legislation in Minnesota, Massachusetts and New York that would require “digital electronic product” makers to provide owners and independent repair businesses with service information, security updates and replacement parts. This would, he says, increase choices and lower prices.

…is asininely stupid. In what possible world would the cost of writing, illustrating and editing service information and maintaining security updates not increase costs, which will end up being passed on to customers as part of the cost of doing business?

I'd love for equipment to be supported, but I'm not so daft as to think that means it'll be cheaper.

Heck, even mandating repairability can have costs: for one thing, it would have prevented the existence of smartphones.
Still, a 30 minute break isn't something they should have to strike for.
There's a big difference between Motorola and Intel: This time around all their competition is also stuck with Intel.

Switching to Intel guaranteed that they worst-case will always be on par with their competition. They'd lose that if they switch away to custom built silicon.

Now if ARM would start to make serious inroads in the Laptop/Desktop market that might change. But then again, thanks to P.A. Semi Apple has more than enough ARM knowledge already.

> I don't know if a hashing algorithm that has no collisions exists (I suspect the answer is no, maybe other than the identity function).

There is no hash function without collisions. The set of inputs is infinite but the set of outputs is finite. (The identity function isn't a hash function--its output isn't a fixed length.)

I don't think there will be a direct competitor, I think we're going to start seeing the decline of the social network.

People are realizing that the benefits of social media are curses in disguise. Instead of a stream of interesting dialog between friends, they have a raging river polluted with the rantings of every person they ever met or any company they ever liked. It's hard to have meaningful interactions with people when that girl you met one night at a friend's party, your crazy uncle, and Starbucks are all screaming in your face.

Just as people are getting sick of Social Networking, businesses are starting to realize that the promise of the Social Network as a way to connect with customers isn't happening.

Case in point, I was shopping online the other day for an office chair and was prompted to take a survey (I'm a sucker for surveys). The survey went something like this...

Will you be sharing anything on our site with social media? No.
Have you ever shared anything on our site with social media? No.
Have you ever shared anything on any of our competitor's sites with social media? No.
Have you ever shared anything from an online store on social media? No.
Do you find any value in social media buttons on online stores? No.
When you are shopping online, do you utilize social media? No.
Does it has web UI ? or mobile application ?
> Be clear what you are saying. They are "manipulating the price at other exchanges" by changing the prices they themselves set on their own inventory.

Which will be sold instantly, as they have 'discovered' the price on the other exchanges were lower than where the initial order went to, bought that, and then instantly, give or take a few milliseconds, resell.

It is not price discovery, it is price manipulation. HFTs have no inventory, they are perfectly lean, they throw hot potatoes across different exchanges.

Not that this is not interesting technology. It is, but it is also manipulative.

I exclude prop trading from the above, obviously, because it is different, and does hold inventory.

I've been using this sheet once or twice a year for over a decade now, as it does one simple job really well - it takes expenses and income with differing frequencies, and converts them all to the same monthly rate so they're more easily comparable.

I've also used it for planning what I needed to buy a house, and the impact this would have on my monthly surplus/deficit.

This is by no means and example of great spreadsheet programming, but it's useful, it works, and it's easy. Feel free to copy, modify, and share further.
Most of the time I've spent with Cucumber in actual work projects has been wasted on trying to write steps to wrap idiosyncratic UI patterns which aren't handled out of the box - of course its been years since then and the UI on that project was particularly horrendous.

That being said, I do find a lot of value in being able to translate text from a story - "As a user I should see <X>" directly into a test.
One of the nice things about BDD tests in Cucumber/Gherkin is that they're written down in plain text (English), a language that managers, testers, and developers all presumably speak. The Gherkin language is actually very useful for facilitating communication/interactions.
