I can anecdotally confirm this and even place an age limit. My daughter (25) is an avid FB user while my son (17) is not. He has an account, just never uses FB except for the federated login. Seen this pattern among their friends too.

EDIT: Can anyone explain what is causing downvoting? Are anecdotes not valuable information?

I was thinking, "wow, reading in data, processing it, and outputting data. Reminds me of Interface Engines in healthcare." Then I saw "HL7" on the diagram.

That's what I did for a long time. HL7 contains information such as "Admissions, Discharges, and Transfers (ADT)" which is sent from the Hospital Information System (HIS) to other department's systems (radiology, pharmacy, medical records, and possibly dozens more) and vice versa (LAB results back to HIS, for example).

HL7 interface engines unpack the HL7 data into separate segments, fields, and subfields, identify the type/subtype of message, route to various destinations based on the type and any other fields, map the data and reformat as necessary for the destination, encode back into HL7, and send it. It also needs to queue the messages as needed, re-transmit or set aside the message, or just stop sending depending on what it gets back in the form of response codes. So you can see in the diagram some of those steps. The also handle input/output either in the form of TCP/IP ports, reading/writing files (for batch processing), or pretty much any other method you can send and receive data (serial ports, in some old cases).

I'm kind of curious how (and how easy it is) to define which fields in the input for a given event goes to the output (and do certain transformations on those fields if needed).
This is my fear. A "walled garden" internet is certainly an improvement, but I'm not sure its worth it at the cost of massive corporate surveillance and ubiquitous marketing.

>In case of neocities, a central server is giving you a hash that the nodes would provide you the data for, but without a central management how does IPFS associate correct file to the correct hash?

Mathematics[1]. Your hash is based on the content of the file, therefore you can guarantee that the content is the same as what the original author published. Also, IPFS is not a blockchain, there is no 51% attack.

Not really, i wanted this to just be a personal password manager and sharing passwords is mostly out of scope in that respect. Although there's nothing stopping you having multiple 'passbox.gpg' files of different names with different keys by manipulating the PASSBOX_LOCATION env variable within aliases or something like that.

You can still decrypt the file with just GPG if you wanted and modify the file in plain text. Passbox just acts as a layer on top of that to interrogate the encrypted GPG file.
> Facebook is headed toward irrelevance.

If you only consider relevant company to be one that is creating a new and disrupt technology as their core product then sure they will have to fight daily not to become irrelevant. However, if you consider relevance to mean something that impacts the daily lives of many people, within the last 30 days they had their first 1B active user day. It's just very hard to displace that many people and so many of them have their lives (and memories) on Facebook in terms of the photos and connections. I am not extremely active on Facebook but having an account just seems like that otherwise missing world directory mixed with a personal life timeline which only increases in value as the years pass.

Data frames in Pandas have no such implicit stupidity. The rough equivalent, IIRC, is setting up one or more columns as an index (or multi-index, respectively), and that's mostly done explicitly (with the exception of importing or exporting CSVs; the first column is imported as the index by default, and the index values are written out by default).

"the license will not permit them to alter the architecture it's all or nothing"

Can you give a reference for that? As far as I know, Apple has an architectural license that allows them to ship anything that passes a test suite. Depending on the way the test suite is specified, that may not rule out shipping a superset of ARM, for example with a few extra instructions.

One that I _think_may_ be useful is one to load values from tagged pointers (caveat: I know little of CPU architecture)
It appears their interest lies in:

(a) having a competitive advantage in raw, large-scaled _metrics_ that Google does not have (see also: Facebook's emotion and behavioral studies[0])

(b) Being able to monetize their advertising platform better. They are well aware that their current numbers are blown up by fake likes, and clickfarms [1]

At least this is just my take. I'm sure there are also other interests behind the scenes.

You would need a big player with long-term vision to enable such a system. Google really can't do it, they have lost credibility in the space. We could see a surprising backbone for it like a massive cloud hoster (Thinking Cloudflare, Amazon, Rackspace).
I think it would be proportional. Larger states have more workers to draw on. The question is, how are the 'get out the vote' drives funded? By the parties? The state?

It has an appeal though. You have to exercise your right to vote in order to be represented. Is that impacting your liberty to not vote if you don't want to?
Yeah, and when Apple updated their TOS to address "security concerns", their warrant canary disappeared and reading between the lines they admit to giving away user data to the government. Something about "we follow the law to protect our users - your data is safe".

Spotify Found Them First – Who did you stream before they made it big?
I noticed something last night while watching the Djokovic US Open quarter-final. It featured an "IBM Insights" segment which claimed to have mined 8 years worth of Majors competitions to generate stats. And one interesting result it was able to produce went something like this: if Djokovic is able to return only 25% of his opponents serves, then in 85% of past matches it has resulted in victory for him. The implication being that such is the strength of his defensive game.

While this is no doubt really interesting, I find I am getting diminishing returns from outputting stats like this from big dumps of past historical data. What I would like to be able to show is a live heat graph style stats tracker, where each point in the match updates my belief net about who is winning, or playing better. Of course, the final outcome may be upended by some fluke occurrence such as a Hail Mary pass in the final seconds which is what makes sports interesting, but nonetheless I think a live tracker would say a lot more than the actual score of the match.

So, I am wondering if anyone has specific resources for real time online data mining? At web scale for high throughput data streams. And I agree with shubmajain above, libraries and repos are preferable to books and academic journals ;)

I very much doubt that even a majority of the white kids living at Kansas City, MO addresses are going to private school, let alone "almost all". And that's just KCMO, not considering the rest of the metro area.

KCMO school district, maybe, but (perhaps surprisingly) there are large parts of the city that have Kansas City addresses but don't fall in the KCMO school district.

To be clear, though, the broader point about schools being effective segregated is true, and the KCMO school district is awful.

And if a company with as much experience and expertise as Intel misses their ship dates, what on earth makes Apple think they can do better?

I could see an argument for cutting cost by eliminating the margin that Intel dictates... but even that assumes that you can find a third party to manufacture the chips at a rate that is low enough to both cover the IP Intel has in their chips, and the manufacturing cost itself.

Nifi wraps each file with a "flowfile", which contains metadata about the flow. You can add to and change those variables as the flow goes on using the "UpdateAttribute" processor, and then route based on those attributes.

Each processor in the flow receives the full flow file, so each step along the way gets the "state" in full. This helps in case something interrupts the flow - you can resume an hour or a day later.

I understand the business logic, but as a non-hardware guy, I've often wondered at how this would look in reality:

- Apple has proven they can switch out hardware stacks, so that part seems straight forward enough. Especially given how mature XCode is.

- But: can they really get to a point where they complete with Intel directly? Would they try and use ARM or roll their own ADM64?

It would be quite difficult to blacklist every bootstrap node. The thing is, every single IPFS node represents a DHT bootstrap node. In a world where everyone is using IPFS you could just turn to the stranger next to you, ask for his IP address, and bootstrap off him. You only need one single node to prise your way into the DHT network, one is enough to build out the rest of the network from.

How does one take advantage of this situation?

There will be technologies which:

(1) despite better quality, but won't have enough traction (OS/2 v Windows),

(2) thrive just fine, while their crappy cousin continues beating them in popularity year after year (PostgreSQL v MySQL)

(3) despite being better on paper, fall short in actual use (Android v iOS)

(4) ___________________________

> Your proposal is to force the NFL to draft players out of high school?

Force? No. I have no idea where you've conjured that.

> More importantly, even if players could be recruited out of high school as in basketball, it doesn't solve the problem, and we know this because it hasn't solved the problem for basketball.

Well that's because basketball still has a similar rule. You must be out of high school one year. It's the same disingenuous nod toward academics and amateurism. The NBA had this solved before one-and-done was (re)instituted.

> The second tier players will still play in college, where all the non-athletes involved with the NCAA will still make bank, and the athletes will still stay broke.

I don't think you read what I wrote. I proposed that by eliminating his rule the NFL would likely go back to having a developmental league where kids could either get drafted out of high school or go to college, depending on their goals.
id rather have a lunatic engineer than a lunatic politician, but that's just me.
I am not native english speaker so perhaps was misunderstood again. You searched for a content by an author, and the network gives you multiple hashes, which one do you trust, without a central authority telling you?
Graphical dataflow programming is super powerful. It's the bread and butter of Ab Initio Software, which powers the data infrastructure of many of the world's largest corporations. I'm glad to see an open-source project entering that market too.
Very insightful little post. In theory Apple could start evolving their ISA over time alongside everything else because LLVM gives them an abstraction layer. (Everyone else could do this too of course.)
This is a new book by Danny Kaplan that I was able to provide some feedback on prior to publishing:

http://data-computing.org/

I really enjoyed the book, it took a modern approach to R using many of the newer packages (dplyr for instance) and ggplot and combined them into a very nice introduction to R with labs, etc. Well worth checking out.
I don't really see how your 'competing for resources' scenario would work. New peers that try to fetch the new content at some IPNS name would see a new IPFS object hash, and search the DHT for that new hash. Nodes that have an old version won't be involved (unless of course the object 'hierarchy' contains cached data, which will only speed things up). At first the only peer having the new content will probably be the creator, but this will quickly spread across the network.

As long as peers do not decide to keep the data (by pinning the hash), the old content will simply be deleted and replaced with new content. Pinning is extremely cheap, so you can imagine that you would want to auto-pin pages as you visit them. This is not on by default though, and I think that's a good thing.

> [B]ut without a central management how does IPFS associate correct file to the correct hash?

It does so using cryptographic identities. In IPFS every peer has a private/public keypair, and the PeerId is the hash of its public key. When publishing content under an IPNS name (which always has the PeerId at its root), you must prove that you 'own' the PeerID by signing the object with your private key. Other nodes will not 'mirror' your IPNS object unless the signature matches (which makes a nice consensus).

The paper calls this self-certified names: you can distribute the objects, and let them be provided by third parties without losing authenticity. See section 3.7.
