The consumer sector of the Internet of things will still not have a killer app. Offerings will still be incremental, and will remain hammers looking for nails.

Driverless cars will still not be available for use by consumers, as the flow of edge cases which completely confuse the cars is continuous.
You can do that, I think. After installing an app you can go the the app settings and disable specific permissions.

Agree, Lidow's championing of gallium (along with many others) is far from going unnoticed. Some people are still however caught up on the cost aspect and feel the economies of scale silicon based chips have are too high to break. Frankly, this is just not true anymore...
Gladly. You can deduce my name from the HN info. I just googled it - most of my accounts are there, although I only use LinkedIn with any frequency... Missing is Facebook, which you can also find pretty easily, I'm sure.

Edit: I'm not really hiding anything, so you don't actually need my consent to start harassing (or "play-harassing" me). But if you seek my consent, I only give it for troll harassment (i.e. emotional abuse), not SJW/thought police harassment (perverting people's words to get them fired from their jobs, like Tim Hunt or Justine Sacco).

Dijkstra's "Go To statement considered harmful" article spawned a whole series of "XXX considered harmful" papers by various computer science researchers in the following years. This has even led to "Considered Harmful Considered Harmful" counter posts to the practice: http://meyerweb.com/eric/comment/chech.html

One can argue that these "considered harmful" taboos were largely personal opinions based on the, in retrospect, limited experience with early computers and computer programming projects. Modern computers are over 1000 times faster with 1000 times bigger memory and many other improvements. This, for example, makes scripting languages much more practical than in the 1960's, specifically making run-time type inference and similar implicit/weak typing methods feasible for many programming projects. These typing methods clearly break many of the rules established in the 1960's but empirically make software development much faster in most cases. C++11 caved into fifty years of real-world experience and added type inference with the auto keyword -- for example.

For what it's worth, I studied Japanese for 3 years as part of a college minor but never felt fluent. Television and movies are great learning tools, because you learn the rhythm and cadence to Japanese, which is much faster than you might expect if you only read it, and even faster than in conversation (as conversation partners will consciously or subconsciously slow down to accommodate you).
While I can't speak for the rest of the world, the US EPA can fine the manufacturer $37.5k per car with such "discrepancies":
"Whether the $7.3 billion set aside is enough to cover VW's costs from the scandal remains to be seen. According to EPA rules, VW could be fined up to $37,500 for each vehicle not in compliance with emissions regulations, or a total of around $18 billion. California regulators could issue their own fines."
"The crisis began Friday when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency accused Volkswagen of installing sophisticated software on nearly 500,000 U.S. vehicles to manipulate emissions tests."

So for the 500k cars sold in the US, they can be fined $37.5k/car, that ads up to $18.75B. And that's just the US costs, assuming absolutely no adverse action for the other 10,500,000 cars that are affected worldwide for these "discrepancies". Do you think there will be 0 costs for the other 10,950,000 affected cars?
Just because a government is overthrown doesn't guarantee that the new government uses less repressive policies than the old. But it worked here because the new government had a different vision for life than the old.

I am not hoping that violent coups are necessary - or even possible in many places. But the fact is that not all governments around the world are as cordial as the Western ones, and mass surveillance has a terrifying potential in many places around the globe.

I do hope that democratic states can avoid these outcomes when enough political will has been gathered to affirm a way of life that values privacy, and a transparent government.

According to the USGS, gallium arsenide use is higher than ever, but it remains niche, because it's just a minor tweak to the silicon bandgap structure, especially for bipolar circuits, where people have been fabricating high-performance CPUs in it since the 1980s. It doesn't work even adequately for CMOS, but even if it did, it doesn't solve the problems with Dennard scaling.

If you're looking for exotic materials to bail us out, it might be a little less hopeless to look to diamond or to high-temperature semiconductors.

When people attach the label of non-conformist to themselves, what must they do to maintain that label?

To me, most labels we attach to ourselves requires a certain level of maintenance. If I call myself a geek I have attached that label to certain interests I have, if those interests change does the label lose its meaning?

What I'm really saying is that a self-identified non-conformist has influenced their tastes in the future, whether they admit it or not. If that label is applied by others then it need not have the same effect.

Hello htop.
"teachers demanded, and won, guaranteed daily recess for all elementary school students — 30 minutes each day.."
Am unsure if the circumstances are that different in the US vs the UK where I'm from, but surely recess of at least 30mins particularly at an elementary level is compulsory? Or is this dependent on the subjects the students are studying and their respective timetables?
Having just moved form Nashville to the Bay Area, I can say that you actually get a lot of the wonderful cosmopolitan bits in the city without the overcrowded mayhem. Also, Nashville is an upcoming GFiber city. I've heard it described as the next big Austin in terms of being another tech hub of the region.
Appreciate it, the tl;dr focuses it quite a bit! Being able to return the product would be the simplest way for the buyer to be made whole, and would be incredible of VW to offer. I'd personally wait to see what the emissions fix looks like before exercising it if they offered it.
The author isn't even American. What are you talking about?
We've spent generations filling our every waking moment with more forced broadcast stimuli, I don't blame 'millennials' for wanting to put up a minimum filter and default to their own bubble of controlled media. Why should we talk if you don't have something more interesting to say than my phone?
Define "the south?" It's Nashville, one of the most awesome places for young people in the country. Amazing food, music, and cheap enough where an educated professional can actually afford to live nicely instead of like a college student.

And it's SF - Nashville, not NYC to Nashville. It's not like they're leaving a real world class city with irreplaceable amenities.
I've kept this thread open in a tab for days now hoping you would get a coherent answer.

Because being 'anti-poverty', I get. Extreme poverty sucks.

But being anti-inequality in a small-world networked, coupled, non-linear dynamic system just seems like being against the laws of physics or math (to me).

I'm going to close this tab now. If you ever get a (coherent) response, would you drop me a line letting me know that you have underneath this comment?

This patent allows the process to be used without cost for research purposes, but requires money be paid to the patent holder when used in a product for profit.

Is this a good way for a research organization - typically a university- to have a sort of "profit sharing" arrangement with private industry, while still allowing scientific progress to march forward?

For-profit companies would not donate a fraction of their proceeds back to the researchers that came up with the enabling discovery. Isn't this just a way to levy a tax on those profiting from standing on the shoulders of giants, which can then be used to find more scientific discoveries?
Could someone maybe tl;dr what is going on here?

I've tried out Julia a few years back, but didn't find it ready for serious use (yet). Am I right to assume that this means the language is still in serious flux?

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I couldn't find a list of shortcut keys in the documentation and I kind of went back to IPython. I think half of it is that the F1 key was bound to help in the terminal, so I couldn't look with that, but you may definitely want to add something to the site to list keys and features.
To have a massive loss in resale value, it would need to affect the car reliability.

Government action against car owners is unlikely for the very reason you list (i.e. it would only affect primarily the victim), and the yearly emission checks your car need to pass are way less restrictive than for new cars.

I see what you are saying and agree that it is a possible scenario. But it does not match to the reality around me or even the trends like european fastest growing car segment being SUV and Crossovers. Pollution on its own merit and not simply as a tax artefact is just not something that people look for and the article fails to give any sort of metric to prove I'm wrong.

I've been working on a programming game of my own along similar lines: http://technomancy.itch.io/bussard

The setting is interstellar rather than urban, and it's still in the early stages of development, but the idea of everything around you being made out of code is central in both. The idea is that your ship behaves less like an arcade game and more like a mashup between Emacs and orbital mechanics--the config file for your ship binds keystrokes to various systems on your ship, and you're never more than a keystroke away from a REPL. But the functions that control your ship are available as an API you can call from your own functions as well.

I'm hoping that at some point it can become polished enough that it could be the means by which beginners could learn to code. There's something about having a "real-world" purpose behind your coding that can really catch the imagination of kids especially.

A good example of this is how earlier today we were testing the game and flying around, and we noticed that an asteroid had fallen into a very close orbit around a particular star. Normally matching velocity with an asteroid in order to mine it is rather tricky when the velocity is steady, but when it's careening in low orbit around a star it's virtually impossible. But by writing a 6-line function that checked the distance between the ship and the asteroid and only activated the laser when it was in range, eventually the wild gyrating around and firing made contact, and the asteroid was destroyed.

I don't think I've seen my kids as excited about a single function worth of code as when that asteroid blew up.
Compared to a few years back, Julia is in seriously good shape. The long and short of this is that while the language has largely been stable, the array library in Julia will get an upgrade to become a lot more modern and clean.

For most users, this should not change much. However, it gives us the ability to do some really amazing things with our array infrastructure going forward.

@Sajaki9, did you even read the article? How is this an American propaganda?
You admitted at the top of this thread that you are minimizing online threats by calling them 'insults', and that you're doing so to push your 'free speech' agenda.

You're doing it again, and it is growing tiresome. We aren't talking about 'insults', we're talking about sustained campaigns of intimidation using specific, personal threats.

As an exercise, please, today, go out to a public space, pick someone at random, and follow them around for a half hour or so, hurling abusive, threatening language at them. Draw pictures of them being subjected to violent abuse and hand them to passers by. Follow them to their home, ring the doorbell, and when they answer tell them that they and their family aren't safe.

I think you'll discover that your freedom of speech gets curtailed pretty quickly.

Then explain why doing the same while following someone from Twitter, across internet message boards, and then calling their cellphone, is qualitatively different.
Whether they are sufficient pales in comparison to them being used properly by the vast majority of endusers (consumer ISPs, tech firms, network operators, etc).

>To have a massive loss in resale value, it would need to affect the car reliability.

No, it doesn't. To have a massive loss in resale value, other people contributing to the car sale/purchasing market need to be willing to pay less for that car. A car that now pollutes like a semi, will have worse fuel economy or handling after a fix, and has a tarnished image is likely to have a massive loss in resale value, when compared to others who do not have those values. And you better believe their competitors will take advantage of this problem and widen the gap even further.
The purpose of this final assembly plant is to be able to sell Tesla cars in Europe without requiring VAT (import) tax. Performing final assembly in the EU allows Telsa to label the cars as manufactured in Europe and therefore, no import taxes are assessed. Effectively, it presents a 20% discount for EU buyers (outside of Norway where the VAT tax is waived).

> 89 percent of cellphone owners said they had used their phones during the last social gathering they attended.

Right there is where the author looses me. That online collaboration via the phone IS a social gathering unto itself. One is not fundamentally different than the other. Physical proximity is great, but it is a serious limitation. Not everyone has the time/money to physically meet their friends over coffee every twenty minutes. Not everyone lives in downtown Boston or NY.

> They say it’s a skill they mastered in middle school when they wanted to text in class without getting caught.

And why do kids text so much at school? Because they are bored to death by mind-numbing subjects and teaching that doesn't actually teach. Texting is the symptom, not the disease.

The ability to 'not get caught' while communicating with others is a valuable skill for nearly everyone these days. It should be encouraged.
Ask HN: Where do people discuss and implement micro-scale Open Government?
Where to find very small scale (population 10,000 or less) municipal Open Government software efforts?

I live in a part of the US where mostly county-level government delivers local services (the state for road maintenance, and federal steps in for disasters, city-operated company for electric utilities, area Municipal Utility District for water, most waste water in privately-owned septic systems regulated by a local water authority). The residents like this state of affairs very much, but the nearest big city has its eyes on annexing our area of approximately 1500 residential units. For various reasons, the vast majority of residents conclude the costs and drawbacks of annexation far outweigh the benefits based upon numbers different residents have investigated and the past historical experiences of previously-annexed areas and their broken promises from the city.

The majority of residents are quite keen on maintaining the status quo of extremely minimal involvement with the city polity. Some residents are investigating the feasibility of incorporating the area into its own village to prevent an annexation.

I thought for fewer than 10,000 residents, there likely is already a lot of effort directed at producing and maintaining open source software for such extremely small municipal governments. Kind of like an ERP for such entities. To my surprise, while there are entire law firms dedicated to doing nothing but interfacing such small municipalities with larger polities, and addressing their mundane legal process needs, I could not find any groups gathered to promote the packaging and configuration of existing open source solutions into templates targeting specific municipalities.

My goal is to automate away as much of the absolutely statutorily-required red tape as feasible, and share our experiences attempting such with other like-minded municipalities. My Google-fu fails me, though.
