I wouldn't usually just throw out a data point but since so many people here are saying they haven't heard it in the UK, I'm in the UK and certainly do hear "on accident" occasionally and have used it myself - it is less common though (An exclamation of "it was on accident!" is the most natural use I can think of - which fits with the idea it came via "on purpose"). Disclaimer: I am somewhat into youth culture and use a lot of slang in everyday speech.

(So I just asked my employees - who are somewhat younger than me. They had heard of it, claimed not to use it, and believed it was poorly educated people with a poor grasp of English who used it in their experience.)
According to https://nodejs.org/en/blog/ they differentiate releases by stable, unstable and maintenance. So I think it a deal of terminology.

Trickle down was pushed by many politicians, and it failed. whether it's a real theory or not is totally irrelevant to the point.

Well, the company could rent a device instead of selling it. Just like google provides services, instead of selling its code.
Best i can tell local realism basically means that if something blows up at the other side of the universe, it should not affect whatever is happening on this side until we can observe said event via the reception of energy/particles from said event.
probably not much less than in Europe. While people like to assume that these issues do not face European countries a simple search of google shows its a problem in almost every western nation.

Good point. It's a piece about traditional publishers (especially the big 5) not book sales in general. Also buried in the article is head of Kindle ops saying, Amazon's ebook sales are continuing to increase. It's not only possible that ebook sales are going up, there's very strong evidence of this. Check out the authorearnings.com site if you want to see just how fast the ebook market is moving away from traditional publishers to self-publishing and alternative approaches.

Cool, it looks like most of the "python django" is in Russia and China.
I enjoyed the book. However, I have a minor complaint : even if it describes extensively virtual hells, it never mentions what determined if you went to hell or not, and for how long. Even if its a minor plot detail missing, in itself it could have been an interesting topic.
Well, you could say that Volkswagen implemented an A/B test on the emission control, but with an unfortunate population segmentation.
Dear shill, if you don't want to see the code for your device, don't look at it.

The right of other less optimistic consumers and government agencies are more important than the desires of your device maker.

Additionally, if companies lease devices they are no less accountable for the code on them.
"Netflix has no plans to use Big Data to rejigger the way TV shows get made"

It's hard to believe data like this won't end up being used to reverse engineer some aspects of their content, especially when they are pumping out dozens of shows. Easy to experiment with some of them.

Amazon already has users voting on solo pilots and it would be very surprising if they don't end up leveraging their analytics for creative.
If you grew up in it, it may not have seemed crazy. I played with rails 1, ignored 2, came in to a project with 3 RC1. loads of stuff breaking, but "they never do more than 3 RCs - we'll be fine before launch". I think we launched with RC5 (deadline was immovable). Felt to me like half the gems we needed were broken with Rails 3, and the answer was "just go fork it, fix some of these things, and use that". Felt fragile as hell, but the rest of the team acted like this just "how you roll" with Rails. I didn't expect that in something with a v3 on it, but perhaps because it was a major version bump it was more accepted?
Being told that ~2080 is the last year I might see is strangely more tangible than an age.

Regarding an equal playing field, if all actors in the same space have the same constraints, I don't see how it distorts anything.

Who are "we, the good people, who force others" then?

If democracy is the rule of majority and the majority of people are "not good", then you're ruled by people who are "not good".

If government enforced people to do "good" (not smoke marijuana, preventing gay people from reproducing, allowed building with asbestos), and then the changed their mind (allowed to smoke marijuana, allowed gay people are to reproduce, banned asbestos), did they enforce the "good"?
In the case of Surface Detail the characters who were in Hell had chosen to go there - I thought it was reasonably clear that the other souls in Hell there were there because they were "bad" (for some suitable local definition of "bad").

> The Apple Watch display turns on when I raise my wrist to look at it. Always-on seems more like a vanity feature than actually useful. If you aren't looking at it, it serves no purpose to be on.

There are lots of cases when you want to glance at your watch without doing an explicit, lively motion with your hand. For instance, as I'm typing this comment, I can look at my Pebble without moving the wrist. When a notification comes, I can read it without doing anything but moving my eyes downward. Since I spend 8+ hours every day in front of one computer or another, it's extremely valuable. Similarly, it applies when you're e.g. carrying things, or doing chores.

> I also think you're underselling the fitness aspect. I've been much more active since I got my Apple Watch. The importance of physical activity is hard to understate.

Probably. I admit I might be a bit biased against sports and fitness, for various hard-to-untangle reasons :).

> Also, I visited my doctor recently and she was a bit worried that my pulse was high. I showed her the graph of my pulse over the last week, and she was no longer worried. In the future, when we can measure thinks like blood pressure and blood glucose, it will significantly improve people's health. That's clearly where Apple is headed.

That's a great use of such technology, I admit. You communicated with a specialist and used your data to your advantage. That's how it should work. But generally, it doesn't. I dislike the whole quantified self movement (and fitness-oriented smartwatches are a part of it) for generally being a cargo-cult field. What you usually get is a device that measures something and puts the data in a completely unneccessary (but required to monetize you) cloud app, which then happily displays you some shiny graphs. The prettier the graphs the better thing sells, even though they're often pretty much useless. You can't export your data, you can't study your data, you just have some graphs. You're supposed to look at them and say "oooh, cool!".

There's a broader point here that applies both to QS enthusiasts and dashboard designers and people working on IoT - graphs are means, not an end. They exist only to improve user's decision-making process. Different graphs help with different questions, so it's important to allow users to manipulate the data presentation, and even more important to teach them the right questions to ask.

We have a technology that could really enable people to live smarter, healthier and better, and instead of that we're being fed shiny trinkets that monetize your data and lock it in so you can't use it for your advantage.
Over here (Finland), it is very common that a road is cul-de-sac for motor vehicles but you can get through riding bike or on foot.

This is common in USA if the cul-de-sac is a retrofit to a previously-through road. (If not by design, then in the breach, because someone has knocked a hole in the fence and it hasn't been fixed.) However, in the sorts of housing-only developments that have culs-de-sac designed in, the typical cul-de-sac is completely surrounded by houses with yards backed by other houses with yards, so there's nowhere to go.

Personally, I've never lived in such an environment, and when I've visited those who do it has driven me to distraction. You can't get anywhere directly! My impression is that this sort of development design is growing less popular, although maybe it's just that I more rarely visit people who live in such places.

Those photos are incredible. Wonder what camera they used
That's the bad part that is bothering me. Did they replay your whole life once you died and gave you some score for each event or decision ? Who established the rules and the scoring ? Would it change with societal change in a given society ? Could you evaluate yourself at any point if your life to see if you were a "good" or "bad" person ? Could you hack the system by implanting false memory ? Or could you wipe out some embarrassing parts? You could write a book on that topic only.

The soft rain and mild climate is good for data centres in a physical sense because of its stability. Irelands temperature range is like 25C degrees from trough to peak in winter and summer and even the daily change in temperature is slow.

I think you've taken my comments in a pretty uncharitable way.

I don't need to know anything at all about homelessness to know that looking down on any group in society as a whole unit is wrong (and unproductive).

I'm not using a flawed "what about the children" argument here, in case you misunderstood. It's pretty straightforward; there are people literally born into a situation that they have no control over, so you can't make any judgements about their character due to the life they've "chosen".

Of course that's a single extreme example to prove a point. You don't need to do much research to see that this isn't a class of people who have chosen to take an easy path to leach of society.

The engineer/engineers who pulled this off were pretty slick. I don't condone the cheat, but I am still trying to figure out how they turned on specific emmissions devises, or fooled with pulse cycles, etc.

I have a weird feeling it wasn't fool proof, and they're a bunch of VW owners who failed smog? They brought the auto back, or to a different shop and the code somehow turned on the right components, leaned out injectors, etc? The problem is the customer had to pay for this slick trick.
These smog tests are not cheap in my neck of the woods. Every two years, I end up paying close to $100. They always try to nail me with the "leaky" fuel cap. I just keep a new one in the back storage area, and bring it out at the right time. I'm an ex-mechanic so my vechicle always pass the emmission test, but boy, I have had problems with the visual test.

While I'm here, some of us drive older cars, for a long time. Smog shops in California are required to have one copy of an Emissions Publication. Most use use Motor Publications. That manual is filled with errors. It's is the cheapest emmission manual on the market.

If you happen to fail a visual smog test, go to a smog shop that has access to Mitchell Emission Smog manuals(OnDemand5).
I have yet to find an error in Mitchell manuals.

(The only reason so many smog shops only buy the Motor publications is because they are cheap. Any Smog technician will tell you they have found multiple errors in Motor Emission Publications. Vechicle owners don't have a clue to this problem, and are just sent home with a failed Smog test, or end up spending a day taking to CARB--just praying they will get an exemption. All of this is due to errors in Motor Emission Publications.)
The nature of the curve, with virtually no chance of death until about 65, with a strong dropoff after, should give rise to a fair bit of reflection.

I'm the same as the author, a 34 year old male. For me, chances are pretty concentrated on me living a good few decades more. Which is ok, I can plan for that. I'll need a house to live in for the next 30 years, changing careers could be done, etc. I'm pretty unlikely to die in the next couple of decades, so hopefully I'll see my kids go to college. Chances of dying earlier are so low I can basically ignore them.

It also makes me sad about my high school classmate who passed away at 29. Set the marker to 18 and you have to wait quite a while before one of the simulations ends at 29 or earlier.

For someone older, there's an interesting issue. Say I put in my father's age, 71. There's a 1/3 chance of not making it to 81. But then there's also a 20% chance of making it past 91. What do you do about that? You can't spend all your money now. But you can't not spend it, either. Should you wait until next year to see your old friends? The likelihood is flattened out, which makes it quite hard to decide things.

You do know you can do mail merge in Google Docs?

I am certainly not trying to say mail merge is an advance feature. I am just saying MOST people can not do a mail merge, THE VAST majority.
Hmm I'm still not following. Can you dumb that down a bit? Or is there a simple example you can point to?
Is it that difficult to setup, or are people biased against it when something they've got works, and something new doesn't?

When IPv6 doesn't work, it's easy to blame it, turn it off and stick with IPv4 because it works. When IPv4 doesn't work it's a problem that has to be fixed to access the vast majority of services online.

On accident is one of those American sayings that sounds weird to my English ears. Like poop. where did the second p come from???

That said, I think our dialects are merging, (well more likely British English is becoming Americanised, but you guys make all the tv, so that's to be expected), for example, when I was younger no one said "ass", it was always "arse", but nowadays it's nearly always "ass"; except for the older generations.

But, we have the same problem within the UK, in the north, we have three meals, breakfast, dinner and tea. In the south they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. It can be very confusing, especially in films when someone invites someone round for tea, but there's no food and it's 1pm!
> have barely learned to "fake it" well enough to pass as a normie

So do I. I don't mind to practice social skills but I can smell the b.s in many people and don't like the fake socialization, so I prefer to be alone (now with my dog) with a small number of real friends who have the similar concept.
Absolutely, same here. Amsterdam for example, most distances are about 4-5km. Inside the 'ring', which is a highway running in a circle around the centre of Amsterdam, is considered to be Amsterdam the city, outside is mostly considered Amsterdam the suburban area, and the ring has a diameter of about 8km, which is probably a good measure for what people are willing to bike. Up to 10km still makes sense, too, but beyond that it tapers off really quickly.

It really depends how long that takes though on a few factors. For example, in the Netherlands you can separate two distinct groups.

One are those who cycle between cities, usually these are either old people for recreation, or much bigger, teenagers (12-18) who cycle from a small village to a nearby larger village or town to go to secondary school. Those people have two things in common, 1) they have nice bikes with gears and 2) they have very long stretches of fully separated cycling paths without any traffic or stop lights. They can pretty easily get speeds of 20 km/h and do a 10km trip in half an hour.

The other group of people are mostly inner-city people who don't take their bicycle outside of the city and use it for shopping, seeing friends, cycling to work, to a station etc. They usually have what are called 'opa' and 'oma' bikes without any gears. And their trips consist of mixed traffic (quite a lot of separate lanes, but not everywhere) with a lot of traffic stops every minute or so. They get speeds around 14 km/h or so, and with the constant stops some effectively get more like 12 km/h. Their 10km trip suddenly takes 50 minutes, and that's just not really acceptable for a lot of people, particularly when you're in your suit for a morning meeting and it either rains or gets really warm.

So it really depends. In big cities though, you'll rarely see 10km trips, 8km is the reasonable limit for most, 1-5km is typical (for example 1km for shopping, 2km for sports, 2-5km for friends or work or a station).
Society assuredly isn't your friend. The assumption behind its behaviour seems to be: 'So-and-so is unsocial and therefore unfriendly, and so, in the name of friendliness, we must denigrate/exclude this person.'
Tangential, but it reminded a little of the crazy black humour novel "Year of the Angry Rabbit"

"Wars are soon conducted as harmless arena games
which are heavily promoted like the Olympics"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Year_of_the_Angry_Rabbit
The idea of "just get over themselves" can definitely be harmful and that one can "be social" by switching something on/off is definitely not something that someone can "just do".
I have noticed that people who move around a lot seem to remember and care about more people - they tend to have a group of people in their memory from each location they have lived, job they have worked, etc. Whereas people who have lived in one place their entire life tend to be more focused on those who also stayed in that place.

My evidence is anecdotal, as I grew up in a small town, and all of us who left remember each other well, with many of us in touch with each other at least via social media. But our childhood acquaintances barely remember us. Or good friends do, but not those who were simply classmates, for example. And even those who do remember don't necessarily care.

I'd be interested in seeing any actual research performed on that aspect of remembering people.

If there is a flaw in chess as a game of war, it is this. Unlike war, the rules of chess are constant; the pieces - unchangeable. You'll never win the heart of a rook or the mind of a knight. They are deaf to your arguements. And so be it. The goal of a chess game is total annihilation. But in war, even as the blood beats in your ears and you race after your enemy, there is the hope that saner minds than yours will stop you before you reach your target. In war, unlike chess, rules can be changed. Truces can be called. The greatest of enemies can become the best of friends. In war there is hope.

Funny, before I read the article I thought that "on accident" must be some British English bastardization since it sounds so weird to my American ears. But I was born in the late 70's and haven't lived in the US since 2000, so maybe that explains it.

> We cannot force a company to open source code without an extraordinarily good reason. I believe in open source and support it, but at the application level it is a trickier issue.

The fact that human lives depend on the correct functioning of the code is an extraordinarily good reason. IMO, any code that can affect driving safety should be required to be released (note: this does not mean that the companies must relenquish any copyright claims, just that the code has to be publicly available for inspection).

Right now this is hard to do because all the auto manufacturers like to have everything connected, so the result of this would be that everything including the in-vehicle entertainment system would have to be open-sourced. But that's the point - such a requirement would overnight force the manufacturers to implement a proper seperation between critical software and non-critical, so that they could keep the non-critical stuff closed.
Has Dunbar looked at how technology changes this? After all we now have a database of friends including their pictures and biographical data. And there's one of business connections as well.

You can also keep relations up in a time-economical way now, both two-way (chat,email) and one-way (status update).

You'd think this would make a big difference both to number and quality of connections.
