Yes I tend to agree. I still see people at work hunting for the correct folder to store email. Showing them how to use labels (in whatever client they are using) is often something of a revelation. Seeing the freedom you have just handed them can be quite surprising as well as a great way to get a free pint!

I'm a avid command-line and vim user and for a long time made use of text based todo and note taking tools. Whilst my naming schemes and structures always made perfectly logical sense, they never flowed when in use. After many years I concluded that I needed something more than just a river of text and started using tools like Trello and Todoist. Whilst my inner nerd feels like I have failed the command-line in some way, I'm really getting much more out of my tools than I have to put in.
Yes, I posted before seeing the other comments, the problem is that you can't force lazy evaluation of the function arguments in javascript. On the other hands it can be as easily written in languages that support it, for example in Scala:

def and(a: Boolean, b: =>Boolean) = if (a) b else false

And with Scala it can be easily made to work as an infix operator:

implicit class AndOp(a: Boolean) {
def and(b: =>Boolean) = if (a) b else false
}

Verification:

def foo = { println("foo"); false }

scala> false and foo
res2: Boolean = false

scala> true and foo
foo
res3: Boolean = false

I got a problem with logging into a service a couple of weeks ago. I sent them mail, no answers. I wrote on their Facebook page a few days later (no harsh words). They called me home in a couple of hours and we fixed the problem on the spot. I wrote again on fb to thank them.

Going public means getting in front of people that care more about customers or has more time to do so. It feels a little like skipping the line though.

Why not East Bay or South Bay, or anywhere but the peninsula?
An opportunity I see is retrofitting a low voltage power distribution system within homes as part of the retrofit. Solar and batteries are already direct current and that's what digital electronics use...wall wart transformers are a kludge, directly plugging in the USB cable that charges my phone makes more sense.

At the extreme end, a system with solar cells and batteries that only serves digital electronics might be the MVP for the One to Zero market.
Whats even more bizare is that its been published that most of the 'clicks' and returns from ads are completely fake, generated from clickbots, so that whole 'industry' is spinning on thin air.

That's why most website try to 'engage' the users with full screen nags when you arrive, they are trying desperately to know if you are a human or a bot, and that's their latest attempt at it (until the bots catch up that is)

The 'users' are rather removed from the advertiser->agencies->publishers->content providers->websites spinloop, yet all of a sudden they are being blamed from trying to shield themselves from the torrent of crap.

The true, real victims are the people who try to advertise stuff, and the users at the other end -- all the advertiser's budget is siphoned down that chain of intermediaries, and the 'return' they get is ... wind as less and less users want to see their stuff anyway given the deluge.

Pencil and paper is much better for me for making quick notes to be honest. I actually don't like writing my brain dumps on a computer because it makes it harder for me to think about them. I find that physically using a pencil helps me develop my ideas more because I have to reiterate what I'm writing while writing it. It's definitely a personal preference, maybe it comes from the fact that I always draw things on paper when designing them and always do working out for Physics and Maths problems on paper. When I go to write it in a file, it always feels more official and like a proper document than just scribbles.
Usenet is so much superior to BT or the "new" OCHs.

Alright, thank you for clarifying this. I guess I got carried away a bit last night and allowed this to escalate to a sort of unproductive us-vs-them kind of thing. Sorry about that. It wasn't my intention and some of my replies from yesterday are a bit shit.

Now-

>> this information has to be manually curated (which doesn't scale)

Aye, that's exactly right. I know this first-hand. I study machine learning, so I'm not really-really against it (it works, so). My hunch though is that although we've made a lot of progress with what Hinton calls "analogy" (and what I think he means to call "approximation") we haven't gone _that_ far and every time we made some progress we've eventually hit a wall.

Take language for instance: first there was the Bag of Words model, language as independent words. That worked for a while, but eventually it hit a wall. Now we got word embeddings. It gives great results and yes, you can do arithmetic with words, which is major, but then we still haven't made real progress.

And note that the top-rated NLP system currently, Watson (Schoher's grad student obviously didn't make something as performant as that) combines statistical learning with knowledge engineering. They use a statistical parser to fill in frame [1] slots. Each approach handles different aspects of the problem. Both together cover more of the solution than each on its own can ever hope to.
If you want to do really well, you need to pick the best of both worlds, approximation and knowledge, together.

This has been standard practice for at least 100 years: Newspaper. Radio. Television. Magazines. Internet. All have had roughly the same model of providing free or nearly-free content in exchange for periodically injecting the flow of that content with advertising.

Hi! To clarify: Substance is compatible with Browserify and Webpack. It runs in Node and in the browser. It doesn't come as one big module, instead it lets you deep require individual files so your bundle only includes what you explicitly required. e.g. require('substance/collab/CollabServer').

Great job. The title was misleading to me because I thought I'd learn something about Go but this basically boils down to these performance improvements

- use batch queries for fetching multiple documents at once from your storage
I'm starting with the unstated premise that we all have secrets in our heads.

Then as many have pointed out, that these devices are becoming extensions of our minds.

So I can see those companies thinking that they have a corporate responsibility to protect their users. Especially if not doing so puts their users in danger.

I don't assume that freedom loving countries like the US are the only countries where warrants are issued. Some warrants are issued in other countries, some of them with oppressive laws, and device makers need to think about users in those countries as well, not just about US users.

A somewhat scary discussion, but one that we might see sometime, would be is there some kind of metric we can apply to governments to see whether their judicial process is up to snuff in terms of protection of rights, where we then create systems that respect only those warrants from jurisdictions that meet a standard of rights protection. In other words build into whatever solution a recognition that not all warrants are created equal.

Not that this would surmount the security issues of having a backdoor that could be hacked. That's such a devastating flaw in the anti-Apple side that I'm not sure it can be overcome without the help of blinders.

I had tried picking up textbooks and online courses before I started the 180 project and none of them stuck for me. While I could do the exercises, but I never felt like I was understanding how to actually use the skills I was learning.

With the 180 Websites project I was forced to figure out how to apply code to make something function. I didn't always know exactly how things worked, but by starting with small manageable tasks I was able to have a pretty good understanding of what I was doing. Pushing forward, day by day, the things that were a bit hazy started falling into place.
Online advertising vs. the forms that existed in "traditional" media is not at all a difference of degree. It is a difference of kind. There are fundamental differences between online advertising and every other form of the medium that has ever existed, and you deny — or are ignorant of — those at your own peril.

I completely agree that it's not singular throughout their culture (specifically w.r.t the taxation issues you raise), but I would not be surprised if in an alternate universe where Jobs etc. didn't care about that stuff, Apple just quietly complied with the cops in this case and we as the public never heard about it.

Do you truly believe that 'Apple' or any other company couldn't spin this as holding the key to the feds doing this and thus making sure they comply with the full legal processes we expect of them, rather than letting them hack into the phones and thus circumvent the warrant process?
most other countries listed have laws that completely drop the "we can sell your data" clause on the site.

The week I spent setting NZBs and all this archaic stuff up (subscribing to NZB providers... which ones again... well they keep going out of business... sigh) and setting up Sickbeard and Headphones and everything was a complete waste when the production companies began their assault on Usenet.

It became functionally less useful than Bittorrent immediately. Tons of stuff I could find on torrent sites were just not available on Usenet.

My experience was a complete waste of time and money setting everything up.

Shared units between cores can be done and has been done, by AMD. It's hard; AMD didn't do a great job of it. Intel didn't even try.
Not much room for such sharing to exist, every Skylake core can do at least 32 FLOPs per cycle simultaneously.

Besides, it'd be obvious in multi-threaded benchmarks.
An interesting idea to ponder, but this isn't a feature present in Skylake or any other processor Intel has announced. The German language source cited in this link retracted their guess a few days later: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/IDF-2015-Intel-enthue...

"Inverses Hyper-Threading, wie hier aufgrund von merkwürdigen Messergebnissen spekuliert wurde, unterstützt der Skylake indes nicht."

"Inverse Hyper-Threading, as was speculated here due to strange measurement results, is not supported by Skylake."

Here's some English language reporting about the retraction:

"However, Intel has dismissed rumors of Inverse Hyper Threading being present on the Skylake die, something that we talked previously as being a cutting edge methodology of single-thread computing boosting via multi-core help. We expected an answer on this matter at IDF and Intel unfortunately dismisses it as being false. Recent studies made by Heise.de showed incredible single-thread computing performance by the new Core i7-6700K and speculated that Inverse Hyper Threading might be present on the new Skylakes. Apparently, it was not."

Smaller lithography means less heat dissipation, but the frequency hasn't gone up, the processors executes the same number of instructions per second, doesn't it?
My guess is an architecture change that allows more of the 'shared' resources to be used by a single core rather than rigidly enforcing a subdivision of the resources between each core.

Sort of like if you had 2MB of cache per core vs a shared 8MB cache between 4 cores.
Point taken, perhaps my final point was overstating things a bit (or underestimating just how awful the healthcare situation is in America).

I think people like me who are lucky enough to be basically healthy can get a skewed view of the NHS, because for routine medical care the 'customer service' is pretty awful.

I've come to believe this slightly mediocre experience is actually necessary to the survival of the NHS. If you could (for example) instantly see a GP and get referred to a physiotherapist every time you got a bit of back pain, the whole system would be inundated with demand. For routine stuff like this, most working people would skip the NHS altogether and go direct to a private physio (or have it covered by their employer's plan).

But it's there for all the important (and expensive) stuff like childbirth and serious illnesses. And for that we are insanely lucky.

I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your wife and son. I hope they're both doing great now.

I disagree. Fundamentally it's no different. Content-providers create or distribute content and they need to be paid for that in order to continue operations. That's traditionally came from one of two ways: Subsidized by advertising or premiums paid directly by the consumer.

Many people forget there is another option - you don't have to read these sites. If you don't like their business model, don't visit those sites. They can offer ad-free paywalls instead, and if the content isn't worth paying for, that's probably because their content was of no value in the first place. It's actually negative value, because you've lost a few minutes of your life reading it.

And you can ignore online ads too (as most of us do). However the similar analogy here is what ReplayTV and Tivo did in the early 2000s -- Provided people with the ability to completely skip those advertisements. ReplayTV went bankrupt due to lawsuits; Tivo removed the adskip feature.
