Why do people buy this crap?!

Look, if you buy hardware that stores your data in "THE CLOUD", you're screwed if the company just decides to, well, do this.
This is a common leftist propaganda we see here in EU - that others are guilty for Greece's situation, and that poor Greece is a victim of shady capitalists (banks). The reality is somewhat different: they have put themselves in that situation by overspending since mid-70s. [And they've been lying, too].

If you're going to reject one biased and oversimplified explanation of complex, multi-faceted situation like the Greek debt crisis -- and replace it with another, equally superficial and misleading one -- then you aren't doing much better than the "leftist propaganda" sources you're trying to scare us into disregarding.
For me it's simply that I think MR is a better description, but I recognize that AR hasn't been replaced as the preferred term yet, so I include them both. Augmenting our experience of reality is certainly part of the use case, but Mixed seems to capture the overall paradigm change more accurately.

Not paying at all and expecting society to still support me, yes that is leaching. But thinking I shouldn't be forced to pay to blow up innocent children or to subsidize the break down of traditional families... how is that leaching.

You lost a few hours of work because of Apple's probably-legitimately terrible filesystem. I lost days and days and days of work trying to configure Linux to just act sane and normal and do the right thing with my hardware. And I lost years and years of our only backups of family photos. We are missing all photos of our eldest son from birth until age 4 or 5, or our eldest daughter until probably 2 years old. I take some blame for trying to use Linux when I should have accepted the fact that it's only to be touched by gods-among-men, and this was back in 2007 or so. But Apple has not failed me nearly as badly as Linux has.
Agreed. In fact, there is overlap in what you've just described and what I call "Personal Application Omnipresence," [1] a model of computing where applications run to service you (and your family) but are made available to all of your IO devices (phones, tablets, desktop terminals).

(writing this from vacation in Hawaii): I have the sense that the rest of the world will help out if you Kiwi's get into trouble. Ditto if the Pacific Northwest takes a hit.

It wasn't a great point. We live where we live, for the most part. There are few places free of potential natural disasters. (The scope of the PNW quakes were only realized in the last 20 years or so...).

But it's colossally stupid to build substandard housing in such an area, to the point where it's a net win for society to enforce some minimum quality.

Fires, for instance, are not the Huge Fucking Deal they were a hundred years ago. We have better fire-fighting equipment, but that's kind of the booby prize. Better to make things fire-resistant, and to not cause fires to begin with.
Yep, although it's not as bad as it was at some time. But the number (and sound volume) of these advertisements is rather irritating.

I think your refusal is fine (in practice), but if everyone thought this way, Nest wouldn't exist.
It seems like the complexity of getting around NAT/firewalls is likely to stymie a lot of potential users. Making a cloud service is a bad idea for all kinds of reasons, but it simplifies this important aspect of getting the device up and running.
I think most customers that don't care about it are simple lacking the information to correctly assess the impact of it. I think accurately explaining a few of the possible downsides:

- If your internet if not functioning, the device may or may not function

- If the company that sold it to you closes, it may immediately stop functioning

- If the company that sold it to you decides to discontinue the product, it may stop functioning

- The company that sold it to you may remove or break functionality at any time. It may be left in this state for many reasons.

And then pointing to concrete examples of products where each of these cases happened, which shouldn't be that hard to do, and how long it took to happen in each case (from initial product launch and from last device sold), would result in a lot of people caring about exactly this problem.

In other words, I don't think it's that people don't care, it's that they don't know enough to know they care. It's a relatively new development, compared to items like cars, fridges and dishwashers, which is probably how a lot of people think about their appliance devices.

Companies are getting more and more creative with interpreting what 'ownership' actually means. Books you've bought evaporate, equipment stops working, cars that can't be serviced other than at authorized dealerships and so on. Ownership is a term that has been stretched way beyond the breaking point.

Any device that needs an internet connection in order to function should be leased, not bought.
It won't take many stories like this for the general public to be soured on any device that "connect to the cloud".

Right now saying that is positive advertising - it won't take much for that to be a negative when people are deciding what to buy.
Google basically paid a billion dollars to Tony Fadell to get him to come to Google.

One issue with PPC and POWER is that they're generally big-endian and everything assumes little-endian these days thanks to x86. Even JavaScript is little-endian now.
Yeah not sure how I skipped that part so effectively. I've since looked through what else I can find about that Voltec drivetrain and it's clear that the planetary gear can engage in such a way that the petrol motor can provide assistance to the electric motor.

In case anyone's interested, here's a fairly good and simple explanation of the 3-clutch system which allows the petrol motor to provide some power to the wheels when in the correct scenario: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80E1fOp95rA
AppEngine had the misfortune of being too early.

I remember checking out both in 2007, right when AppEngine first launched. EC2 was just Linux; you had a familiar virtual machine to work with, and you could port your existing code over with virtually no effort. AppEngine required learning a whole new API, which was completely non-portable and locked in to Google, and that was a complete non-starter.

Also, being a PaaS, there was a lot more to get right with AppEngine, and the API changed a lot over the years. I remember looking at it in 2007 and thinking "There is no possible way I can get work done with this." In 2009, it was "Well, it might work, but it's way too much hassle." In 2010, it was "Nope, still too hard." Finally in 2012, I tried it again and it was like "Woah, finally this stuff is usable, and it's actually pretty pleasant." But by then, the outside world had Heroku, it had Beanstalk, it had Parse & Firebase, and there's a huge ecosystem around AWS.

It's a pretty good example of path dependence. If you're just coming to cloud computing now and have never run your own software before, AppEngine is actually a fairly nice alternative. But in 2007-2009, when a lot of us were first checking it out, it was an overly-complicated, vendor-lock-in mess. And vendor lock-in mattered a lot more then; now many developers have just accepted that they're going to be locked into certain platforms, but back then, building on anything that didn't have a publicly-specified API was a huge mistake.

Am I reading this right, that it's just the swiss-army- knife of coolers? I'd ask why anyone would want this but the mob has clearly spoken. That being said, why didn't he just take an existing cooler that's already available in large quantities and figure out a clever way to enhance it with all these capabilities? Maybe just swap out the cover?
Where I work we have a big directory with one file for each stored procedure.

On deploy, all the stored procedures will get updated from that directory. Rolling back would consist of deploying an earlier version of the repository with the procedures in it.
Well, first off: full disclosure that my startup is ad-supported business news sites. So feel free to consider me biased, but the reason I started the company with this model is because I really believe news websites work best when anyone can read the articles without paying a fee or signing up for an account.

Off the top of my head maybe a good example is http://popville.com/ which is a local DC blog. The guy who runs it is a little controversial, but the site is extremely well-read and useful and 100% ad supported. http://arstechnica.com/ is great too. And then, ya know, stuff like Twitter wouldn't really work if you had to pay to use it. Or do Twitter ads not count?

"Ultimately it's not a scalable design – it's an industrial design."

So which one of us doesn't understand what "industrial design" means? Because my understanding says his statement is a contradiction. I thought part of "industrial design" was to design things for mass production, not one-offs.

Looking at the trends in computing,coffee makers,printers,routers etc, it kinda seems like a lost battle, isn't it?
it would be easier if the manufacturer has it drive you to the police station instead
This has been going on for, oh, a few hundred years, in many different industries. They even have a word for it: "renting". You get something for a while, and then when the term is up, you're done with it. You can extend the lease and they can agree to let you do so, but when you're done you're done.

The only issue here seems to be that the COMPANY views the transaction as a rental while the CONSUMER views the transaction as a purchase. Legally, I'd be willing to bet good money that the company is "correct", but I'll also bet that same cash that they'll always lose in the court of public opinion.
New attack vectors come out every day. The one they used may have not even been related to THE application that someone built for this. If you built something 4 years ago for the gov't to use and they didn't keep the server patched how is that your fault as a software engineer?
I've personally encountered multiple hacked sites and zero malicious ads (so far as I know). Like I said, I'd be really curious if anyone has actual data on different exploit vectors rather than just arguing anecdotes.

I think my point remains, however, that if your browser can be compromised by visiting a URL then you are in a bad situation ad blocker or not.

It's funny how each standard is made to "last as long as possible without needing to be redesigned". LTE stands for "long term evolution" - as in "we made this standard so that it will be possible to evolve it according to demands without total redesign". It has been in commercial use for what, 4 years? As far as I know, current plans for 5G are "screw LTE, we'll redesign it from the ground up".
The management engine is a result of a steady stream of changes, enhancements, proposals, etc going back probably a decade. There was demand from business and government sectors for easier repair/management, better security, and lock-in from software/media segments. Consumers largely were apathetic and stayed out of those discussions as usual. However, there was demand among some of them for cheaper repairs and better malware protection. Management Engine was one of results of all that.

One could see it coming years in advance. Matter of fact, I fought solutions like that in favor of instrumented, robust coprocessors that did that. They could cost $20-30 more. They could even be in an embedded PCI card that also did I/O offloading, firewalls, and security monitoring with secure RTOS. Many extra benefits to justify extra $20-200 depending on form factor. Yet, people wanted dirt cheap, integrated solution.

They got it...

In 1998 there was a enough online commerce (in fact, there was a crazy boom of it, the original internet boom) for a good exec to see the potential of the ad market for it. Searching is precisely the moment when an ad can be well-targeted.
How long, as a practical manner, is google required to run these servers? Until all the devices die? 3 years? 5 years?

Don't get me wrong, I'm with you. I think 4 years from sale is reasonable though. Whatever the commitment is, it should be on the packaging, and it would be nice if the various state and federal consumer protection laws were applied here.
But if you didn't contribute to the cost of making those guinea pig noises, however small they may seem, you don't have the right to that access that content infinitely.
This matches my experience. Right now, AppEngine is really nice (pleasant).

And if you use Flask/WSGI interfaces + Cloud SQL there isn't even a lock-in.

The only big issue I can see: no AppEngine in China. :/

At the moment I'm resigned to use app engine for the world-minus china, and some AWS EC2 inside China, running the same code plus a a lot more admin work.
Well, I think you made an excellent point which is hard to argue with.

But, the thumb-rule is that if the startup time is a free lunch, why not faster?

Offhand, my educated guess based on how much it costs /me/ to drive, is that for any form of transport the order of costs from greatest to least is:

1) The human driver.
2) The fuel.
3) Maintenance.

Even at a minimum wage, what really breaks bus routes is the human driver. You could send a smaller (more fuel efficient for low loads) vehicle on less profitable routes, but that doesn't modulate the biggest cost at all.

Google, Ubur, Lyft, all seem to see a future where (to borrow from the older Total Recall movie) Johnny Cab is able to eliminate a lot of public transit and ride-sharing issues.

I believe that the technical challenge is within our grasp (it'll be difficult but possible).

It might, with sufficient volume, be cost effective and when factoring in the difference in accident rates surely will be.

The hardest sell will be the truly glacial speed of modifying laws to get these vehicles on the road without drivers.
The good old days.. I remember ~2007 everyone making a big brouhaha about moving crap tons of stuff "to the cloud" and I felt so morally outraged that in this future I'd have no control over the uptime, accessibility, or core content based on my own actions - it'd be left up to someone else completely.

I think it was a couple years ago I finally stopped resisting and said "fuck it" - signed up for Spotify, shut the hodge podge of syncing/ home NAS solutions I was using and just got a Dropbox account.

Buybacks are driven solely by a desire to appease shareholders by increasing earnings per share in a seemingly risk-averse manner. However, buybacks tend to only happen when the valuation is already sky high. Only a handful of companies have the discipline to buy back stock when the valuation is low and pursue a secondary when it's high.
Thanks for fixing that for us.
> Ads are fine when they help people.

It's really easy to forget this. Ads can be a good thing! Anyone ever pick up Computer Shopper magazine in the '90s? It was a giant phonebook full of practically nothing but ads for computer hardware and software. And not only did people voluntarily read it, they paid money for the privilege, because it was useful to them.
I think the top 9 APIs that Edge implements that aren't defined in the spec is a good example of Microsoft fucking up.

That's one of those sad realities of Worse is Better in action. Definitely a disadvantage. Far as why big-endian was The Right Thing, drfuchs had this to say:

"Because big-endian matches how most humans have done it for most of history ("five hundred twenty one" is written "521" or "DXXI", not "125" or "IXXD"). Because the left-most bit in a byte is the high-order bit, so the left-most byte in a word should be the high-order byte. Because ordering two 8-character ascii strings can be done with a single 8-byte integer compare instruction (with the obvious generalizations). Because looking for 0x12345678 in a hex dump (visually or with an automatic tool) isn't a maddening task. Because manipulating 1-bit-per-pixel image data and frame buffers (shifting left and right, particularly) doesn't lead to despair. Because that's how any right-thinking person's brain works."
A Nerd's Review of the Tesla Model S
I meant a filesystem implementation (i.e., kernel code actually implementing the filesystem system calls from the application, either by reading and writing blocks from a block-device provided by the hypervisor or using a network file protocol).

It sounds like this is part of the guest kernel.

No they are not.
Also the same applies to sessions, sessions should be refreshed, too.

To clean up, your application may null out the session
or remove the persisted value from the data store. The
result is the same; no more session.

The same with JWT.

The data is cryptographically signed with a Hash-based Message
Authentication Code (HMAC)

Not always correct.

When you deploy an update to the application and want to invalidate
current sessions? When you’re updating sessions as data changes?
When you’re storing sessions?

The same way you would do with a session. You wouldn't clean your datastore you would change your secret.

Actually industrial design doesn't mean the design will work for mass production. Usually they should think about the manufacturing part as well. That step is called Design for Manufacturing (DFM). Usually the mechanical engineer works on the DFM part.
