I doubt the cost would be low enough to support demand.

Transonic (approximately Mach 0.80 - 1.2) flight uses significantly more fuel than subsonic flight does. Business jets like the Gulfstream G550 burn more fuel at M0.9 than regional Boeing 717(MD-95) at M0.75 with 4 times more passengers.

The F-22 Raptor can supercruise at M1.6, with half the range compared to cruise at M0.85 similar to other fighters.

If Boom can optimize an aircraft for supersonic transport it would still be expensive to operate. For comparison, no US operator has all business class scheduled flights from LA-NY, and British Airways flies their all business class NY-London flights in an VIP A320 series jet that cruises at M0.7 which is slower than most airliners on the route.

Could you provide the stringent definition regarding the randomness source, not a cryptosystem?

I see it as this: if the randomness source cannot be one more time put into the same conditions that it would start repeating the same sequence, and its output is random enough (i.e. passes the tests), it may be considered safe for OTP key data production.

No 3D touch is a very odd fragmentation. You'd think they'd want to shore up their devices to be completely compatible with this across the spectrum to motivate developers to use it as a key part of their UX.

Now when only X<80% of devices lack compatibility, I'm not likely to take the time to make 3D Touch a core interaction.

So your apps have to optionally use 3D Touch, Pencil, adaptive layout, fingerprint, and several other interactions that only cover fractions of their hardware line.
Well it hasn't hurt "Bomb ba dear" :-) (that is the pronunciation I've heard for Bombardier)

So no, name is probably not an issue. Getting a passenger plane to market without any other supporting business, that is much much harder than explaining the name. Not a lot of people can raise funds for 10 years of expensive runway (no pun intended).
thanks sounds like you've done your share of interviewing. It would be great to hear more about your experience if you ever want to write a more lengthy blog post on this subject. I still find it very hard to predict who will make for a great employee.. provided they do ok on technical side it's still more of an intuition thing rather than process.

The charts you reference are for wealth, not income. The chart on page 36 suggests about a 1/8 chance for a reduction in pyramid tier and about a 48% chance for an increase in tier. (Now, that's also a blended chart, but I don't see anything particularly dire in that data for North Americans.)

> Yet most people won't even touch .NET because it's not hip.

.NET isn't that well supported outside of Windows though. At least not to the same degree Java is. And a lot of that is down to Microsoft. .NET was pretty awful when it was first released. Granted it's been solid for a great number of years now, but originally it was just MS lashing out at Sun because Sun Microsystems took MS to court over Microsoft's own (partly incompatible) version of Java (massively paraphrasing history here!!!). But that was a long time ago and .NET has diverged and morphed into so much more since. However for a long time it never felt like Microsoft was not giving any love to .NET outside of Windows. Yes, I appreciate Mono does exist, but there's a lot of proprietary stuff in .NET that, until recently, MS refused to port. So even once .NET really became an attractive technology to develop against, it's cross platform support was still stunted by Microsoft's own need to dominate.

It's also worth noting that .NET is still hugely popular - or at least in England. But those organisations running .NET tend to buy into the entire Microsoft stack (.NET, IIS, MS SQL Server, etc) - which really just goes to reinforce Microsoft's justification for making Mono a second class citizen.

However with Microsoft's recent headlines (SQL Server being ported to Linux, greater collaboration with Mono, etc), there's a real potential that .NET will become a lot more relevant outside of Windows too. Unfortunately for Microsoft, there's now also more competition in the Linux / UNIX ecosystem than there's ever been.

I'm so hard to read people have made comments about how, if I was going to a wedding, they couldn't be sure if it was mine based on how neutral my delivery is.

The only time I'm easy to read is when I'm visibly irritated and/or angry.

This is also part of why people think I have a temper, they miss literally all the warning signs for weeks/months/years so to them it comes out of "nowhere" despite the fact I've verbally expressed unhappiness to varying degrees. However, the neutrality of the delivery causes them to assume I don't care that much [so they continue, repeatedly].

I have been involved with product naming over the years and have seen firsthand the incredible effort that goes into and angst generated by the process. EVERYONE has an opinion about names! It's also my considered opinion that most of the time it doesn't really matter at the end of the day, barring something really dumb or a trademark infringement.
I think this is pretty debatable, at least in the US.

Being born during the middle or late-middle of the 20th century was extremely lucky if you managed to stay out of manufacturing and could put your retirement into funds that came close to matching public markets. A lot of people doubt we'll ever see that kind of economic growth in the first half of the 21st century.

Don't under-estimate the impact of three-four decades of financially comfortable retirement on "living standards".

Good point. I certainly require more than a few moments where I sense it before I feel confident in considering someone's behavior evasive.

Suppose you're having a conversation with someone and in 15 minutes one of you chosen at random is going to have to trust the other with his/her life. What kinds of signals indicate that the person is trustworthy, understands the potential future, and is accurately representing him/herself?

There are some people where I never feel the kind of connection I'd want to feel in that scenario, and others where I feel it fairly early on in the interaction. Just a kind of straightforwardness, not extraversion or social comfort.

It all comes down to AppleCare: I don't want to own an aftermarket phone that isn't covered for damage by anything other than my own wallet. The 5/5S can only remain a viable option for me if they're sold directly by Apple & allow me to purchase AppleCare. Anything less means I take on the risk of having to keep repairing/replacing the phone every time it breaks. Unfortunately, this happens far too often.

I've worked with Venda (for two separate companies) and met Dan Wagner and their platform is truly an awful piece of software, and the man himself isn't much better, my job was basically to find methods of subverting the software in order to do what our marketing team wanted. It's roughly £6k per month, and account management is slow to respond and it's very difficult to do anything meaningful with the technology. One of the companies is still with Venda with the intention of moving away, and one moved to DemandWare after roughly a year.

Powa is Venda's answer to Shopify, trying to capture the smaller market, the software, and the management, was never good enough to compete.

Nothing wrong with that. Hacking goes both ways.
"the human is a commander, so the units are intelligent in their own right (thus, handled by the AI); and the AI is also giving the human commander real-time advice based on what knowledge it can discover through the human's vision "

I see what you're saying. Yes, I daydreamed about such models too. I got excited about two games that stepped into that direction: Supreme Commander's dual-monitor setup with a macro, commander-like view plus detailed, micro view; Full Spectrum Warrior and Full Spectrum Command. The S.C. setup shows people are dabbling in interfaces that might lead to that. FSW and FSC are straight implementations of what you describe: commanders controlling AI agents that are semi-autonomous and provide feedback. FSC isn't available to public but is what I wanted more: limited commander view with data on your troops, position, intel coming in from video feeds or satellite, and so on. A hybrid model might let me go Harbinger and "assume direct control" of a character or team.

"I feel like that "human in the middle" configuration would actually make for its own new subgenre of 4X/RTS-like games, if we could get it right; "

It could. I'm not sure what it will look like outside Full Spectrum Command or bots in shooter games. A lot of the experience comes from the style of the people playing plus their quirks. The Call of Duty Ghosts AI shows that we might be able to approximate that as it did it so well I thought I was playing online against rookies lol. Most fun bots ever were.

"Come to think of it, this is what Dungeons & Dragons was originally supposed to be about, wasn't it? "

I think it was meant to enable and constrain the imaginations of players so the game took place inside their head. I never played it but it was a brilliant idea. Come to think of it, you're onto something here because games like Skyrim have all kinds of autonomous people doing certain routines or behaving in certain ways. There's even contractors and mayors. Any of these people could benefit from AI. Just a matter of computing resources. Could have one world where everyone plays the same world whose characters are controlled via a server farm at developer's location. I originally envisioned that for Runescape when I failed to get them to create a version of it for AI research. It would've been great for testing pathfinding, build systems, strategy, chatterbots, and so on. Skyrim more so.

Note: We could also test a collective intelligence where individual agents publish what they learn to central forums organized by topic. AI expansions could take time to periodically scrape that, try to understand it, and factor it into their gameplay. Basically, simulating player help forums that humans use. Additionally, could build superintelligences, gods, or advanced/E.T. AI's that tap into that plus much of world state that shouldn't be available. Even let them make changes to map or items with that dynamic factored in.

Lots of potential that might not have been explored yet but could make even simpler bots a lot more fun to watch. ;)

If the people of Scandinavia feel that what they're getting in return is worth it, they'll pay the taxes.

People in Scandinavian countries have a higher amount of trust in their governments too. I'm sure that has a lot to with it.

Someone who believes that their tax money is going to be used for the legitimate(In his or her mind) needs of society has a greater incentive to pay them than the person who believes that their tax money is going to be used to pay kickbacks to the political allies of the people in charge.

> At some point far before the 1% [from context, presumably income] mark, wealth accumulation becomes much more about personal power and legacy than anything else.

False, IMO. 99th percentile income is about $400K gross per year (for household income). Two 40-year olds raising children, making $400K between them are technically "top 1% income", but are quite far from granting buildings to their alma mater and building monuments to themselves. They are more likely worried about college tuition, retirement savings, and healthcare than they are about whether the plaque on the front of their building should be silver or bronze.
My dad flew it once because he got "bumped up" from First class on the flight he normally took. His reaction was more or less "meh." First on the 747 was more comfortable and arriving a few hours earlier meant he had to grab dinner in London when he arrived rather than having a nice meal in First on the plane.
I am getting used to it as in I've learned now not to press my phone too hard anymore to accidentally trigger it. Most apps replace it by a long press leaving only the force press home screen menus as the thing you'll miss out on.
It's because Apple has realised 3D touch is bad and it's also a very expensive feature to add to a phone.

The real question is if they will admit it was a misstep by removing it from their flagship model or just keep pretending and keep it in. Companies really hate admitting they were wrong so my bet is that they are stuck with it for the forseeable future.

No one said "impossible". Just harder and harder. I think this is okay, especially if the interviewee knows that's the plan. Make sure they shed the notion that they're expected to know everything that is asked of them, let them know that your plan is to challenge them.

Sure, but these were 1980s-era fighter/trainer jets flying at probably 1000 ft., and it only shook the whole house when they flew pretty close. Other times one might only hear the boom when outside. I think a passenger craft of recent design of recent materials, flying at 40k ft. could do much better, even before routing to avoid populated areas. I don't think anyone, even those who live on ranches in the Dakotas, really has a right not to hear a noise during the daytime.
