Elixir is going to be more popular than rust.
Swift is going to be more popular than rust.

3. There will be new AI adaptations to Machine learning and Deep learning algorithms with fancier names, and we will hear that AI is still coming. General AI will still remain unrealized. Developers will be much more better, we will have generations of developers that learned software engineering from a young age and learned how to work with massive code base from a very young age. Awesome tooling for managing software complexity will exist.

4. Swift, PHP, Logical Languages will become popular again.

>For truly essential data at least one of those copies is both offline and offsite.

But the fact remains that where ever you choose to put it "offline and offsite" the odds of it being lost are orders of magnitude greater then its persistent and redundant storage on a reputable cloud provider. Even if you put it on the most stable storage you can find and lock it in a underground safe. You can't guarantee its integrity a handful of years from now let alone centuries.

To put it in other words you are advocating storing your money in a mattress because you don't "trust the banks"
Tim Cook: Apple products aren’t made in China because it’s cheaper
It's quite likely that by the time my 11-year-old hits 18, private universities will cost over $100,000 per year (tuition plus fees, housing, and food plan), and public schools will be $25K [EDITED orig. $50K] (plus or minus, depending on state subsidies and other funding such as corporate donations).

While the university experience is undoubtedly a valuable one for the 18-22 age range, with tremendous intellectual and socialization opportunities during this formative period, I wonder whether it's still going to be the best and only pathway to intellectual and social growth.

With MOOCs and other online learning resources flooding the internet, many free or for moderate fees, the focus now has to be on justifying the classroom experience. Are you still best off in a 300-seat lecture hall, scribbling/typing notes while a grad student or adjunct spews information from the lectern, at an arbitrary time of day that if you somehow miss it, you're out of luck? You can't exactly ask the lecturer to pause while you go to the toilet, or "please rewind 10 seconds, I missed something". Maybe they have videoed the lecture and maybe the videographer remembered to zoom in on the powerpoint screen at the right times.

You hope that meeting all those fellow students will lead to a group learning experience -- "Hey, let's meet at the coffeeshop and go over this stuff together!" That's possibly the best way to learn material, to teach it to your colleagues and have them quiz you as well. But is that not reproducible in the online model, e.g. chatrooms, skype, etc.?

In my opinion, the U.S. government should get out of the business of providing and guaranteeing educational loans. It has resulted in a vast, bloated system of exploitation of the students and the loan system, and we are now facing possibly a trillion dollar bubble that may burst in the next few years if all those freshly minted degrees don't lead to good paying jobs to retire those loans.

Universities in the U.S. must be put on notice that the free ride is over, and they have to get costs under control, stop with the billion dollar student centers and bloated administrative offices, and try to get back to basics of providing lecture halls and white boards and reasonably secure jobs for professors to do what universities ought to focus on: teach.

A feature that we were considering is enabling HSTS (in the Secure mode) and gradually increasing the max-age over time, so that if something went wrong at the outset the administrator would be able to reverse the process without affecting clients for very long (perhaps starting with a one hour max-age, then doubling the max-age on every subsequent day?).
Well, no, not exactly. If you're living at home, your parents are paying for your housing. It's money that is already getting spent. If you have to live in the dorms, your parents don't get a break on their mortgage or rent because you moved out. If your parents are helping you out, they now have their own rent to pay, plus a new rent for you, where before they essentially got "your" rent "for free".

Similarly, adding one person to the home grocery bill was not anywhere near as expensive as the meal plan. Most universities run their cafeterias as profit centers. You're paying restaurant prices. Cheap restaurant prices, typically, but still more than cooking at home.

Here, I'll name a few things a rich person could do twenty years ago that a poor person today could not:

Visit the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Visit the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Go to Cannes Film Festival.

Go to Pixar movie premiers.

Personal chef.

Personal masseuse.

Back-stage passes to go see amazing rock legends, many of whom have died by now.

Influence politics.

Invest in corporations, like SOLAR power, WIND power, NUCLEAR power. Fund start-ups.

Help stabilize and transform former Soviet Block countries.

Fly a Mig.

Visit the Galapagos islands.

See a living White Rhino, up close.

Swim with dolphins.

Swim with green sea turtles off Maui.

Eat at Mama's Fish House on Maui, one night, and stay overnight in Hana so you can wake up early and visit the seven sacred pools bright and early.

Walk the Great Wall of China.

Go to the Olympics.

Ride a hot air balloon.

So, let's come back to what you said.. "100x the value"??? Come on. Name TWO things a poor person can actually do today, that would make them tangibly HAPPY, or tangibly BETTER OFF that a rich person couldn't do 20 years ago.

> The conversation we are having right now likely could not have existed 30 years ago.

First, you're moving the goal-posts, the discussion is 20 years ago. And second, nonsense. I was active on well over 100 BBS systems.

Also, have you checked out the app from the US/UK/anywhere where Netflix is supported?

Using movie/series marketing materials to promote links to Netflix, Hulu and iTunes - I don't think that's infringement in any way.

Also, we cannot control what OTHER add-ons appear in the app. If we receive complains we'd be happy to stop them.

We're trying to build the next Plex, not the next Popcorn Time.

Otherwise good points about the industry, but that's not our war to fight :)
Installed it. Works well. Comes up with a list of movies/shows similar to how popcorn time did. If you click on one, it shows you options for viewing like netflix/amazon, but also a link to JC Torrents to stream it.

So my quick review: It's like Plex with popcorn time built in.
>Recently I was given access to a shared Google account to enable me to manage a Google Calendar that we were using to manage some team activities.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to give access to individual, work-related Google accounts rather than all share one account to begin with?

The fault here doesn't even seem to rest on Google. The account can see its own search history. As far as Google is concerned the Google account is an individual and not a shared account.

Deleting history should be made easier, but is low priority. Few people know they can even check their search history...
There are actually some wholesome mental states that are conducive to concentration. The most notorious are piti (translated as rapture, joy) and sukha (content, pleasure). Listen to this guy, may be useful http://dharmatreasure.org/piti-joy/ (his superb book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0990847705 ).

What makes all the difference in the world now compared to the jaw-dropping prices in '81 is we have alternative education options. There were virtually no other paths to career success 30 years ago... heck... 15 years ago! A traditional path towards a degree was the only way to assure a positive career outlook.

I don't think MOOCs are the panacea, but all types of learning resources (books, classes, organizations, events, people) are all more accessible. The entrepreneurial approach to learning.

So conflicted about all of the rage and drama around Theranos.

>Do you control Amazon? No? Then you're not the captain

This is textbook NIH syndrome. Rather than looking at the relative probabilities you look at something from an ideological perspective. Your argument isn't "Its safer with me" its "I want to be in control of it" This attitude is generally harmful. Think about your money. Are you in control of the bank? no right, but you still keep your money there instead of in a shoe box under your bed. Why? Because the bank is better at protecting your money than you are. They have big heavy metal doors and men with guns to move it from place to place. Amazon is like a bank for your data.

I was suggesting the diagnosis of "Psychosomatic" was lazy on the doctor's part.

I went into a doctor's office 10 years ago with digestive problems, and the doctor was ready to write me a prescription for anti-depressants within 15 minutes, without a single test run. Visits to gastroenterologists weeks later, and subsequent visits to counselors and psychiatrists were not helpful. I was dealing with gastroparesis, which is often not diagnosed correctly. Doctors instead suggest the patient has an eating disorder or blame it on anxiety.

The truth is, there are a lot of uncaring shitty doctors out there. If you're on the fringe and don't fall into the DSM, good luck. You absolutely have to advocate for your health, because often your doctor isn't going to. At least in the U.S., most doctors aren't going to walk you through the process to get setup with CBT, and your health insurance may consider it a mental health treatment, which has additional limitations on it. If you combine being skeptical that your doctor is using mental health as a cop out, and then it's a pain in the ass to get started, you're going to be more resistant to it.

It's great CBT works for some CFS patients, just like mindful meditation works for some people with chronic pain, but in no way should it be treated like a cure or a reason to stop researching it, just like we're not going to treat meditation as a cure for chronic pain.
I'm probably not educated enough to say something like this, but "Included within the FAST Act is a section, the Reforming Access for Investments in Startup Enterprises (“RAISE”) Act" is something I hate about how laws get passed.

My point was that payments can be arbitrarily anonymous.

I'd prefer a micropayment system that was as automated as the current ad system is. Browsing a site would trigger an initial small payment. The total payment would be proportional to engagement, including the percentage of the article read, time spent on the site, links followed, and so on. There'd also be options to pay more, or to cancel payment.

I'm guessing that browsing would cost about $0.001, and that reading would cost between $.01 and $0.10 for average news articles, blog posts, etc. Magazine-length articles and reports would cost more. Is that about right to match typical ad income?

Think about the future too though. Facebook strips exif and may have resized/recompressed your images. 20 years from now when we can do more super cool things with that data, the data won't exist in your FB photos.

Tangentially related, this is why I shoot RAW. Not because it might give me better pictures today, but because it WILL give me better pictures in 5-10-20 years. You can take a RAW today that was shot 5 years ago and pull detail that was impossible to pull when it was shot, and that ability will only improve.

Keeping transactions categorized in Mint easily takes me a couple hours per month. Many restaurants/bars/online shops have terrible metadata for their transactions, in my experience. I typically have ~300 txn/month between my wife and I. Most of them take no time at all. The ones where I have to dig due to crap metadata usually take 5-10 minutes apiece.

I've mostly decided it's not worth it, but every couple months I'll ask "how did we spend this much?!" and categorize everything only to discover it was my new ski gear all along and I'd just forgotten it.
What I'm talking about is that most European countries have a higher overall income tax rate than the US. Some of this goes to pay for your education, so 3000 is not the total you are paying for it, you will keep paying for it over your lifetime in taxes.

Hmmm, but Netflix, Hulu and iTunes all have the proper licenses from the copyright cartel. While you awesome people do not and you are promoting watching the copyright cartel's content at no cost.

Hey, Im all for this ... copyright will soon get fed up with the constant whack a mole and embrace all the hackers/innovators for the better of their bottom lines. They just need to bring on tech/entertainment talent to run their companies ... it will happen one day.
I'm still waiting for a dramatic disruption of the college/post-secondary industry. I hope it comes really soon, but I'm starting to doubt if it'll come within the next 5 years. I think it's going to take lots of people to disrupt education especially since the government will get involve.

I'm starting to feel that some courses in college/university isn't worth that much money. Like a 50,000 degree that has lectures and materials freely available online? Seriously?
Furthermore, some professors are amazing at research, but has no business in teaching.
